the soul side

Zhou Zhihui would come to Zhonghua Garden two or three times a week, chatting with Cheng Yiming from time to time, casually praising his appearance and dressing style.

She also invited Cheng Yiming to have dinner with her after get off work several times, but Cheng Yiming refused.

But Zhou Zhihui was too difficult to deal with. In the end, Cheng Yiming couldn't refuse anymore. He could only say: "I have a date, and my off-duty time belongs to him. Ms. Zhou should understand, right? I can't accept you." invitation."

Zhou Zhihui looked at Cheng Yiming, thought in his eyes and then smiled helplessly: "I just want to treat you to a meal, why are you so sensitive? Can't you make friends? Is your girlfriend so stingy that she doesn't even allow you to have a female friend?" Have it?"

It was the first time for Cheng Yiming to encounter such entanglement, and he didn't know what to say when it comes to this matter, after thinking about it: "It's okay to be friends, but you don't have to eat, my partner is waiting for me, I want to go back gone."

Looking at Cheng Yiming's back, Zhou Zhihui raised her delicate eyebrows.

Afterwards, Zhou Zhihui never mentioned eating together or going out for a drink, but kept sending Cheng Yiming some scenery photos or small videos she saw on her mobile phone.

Cheng Yiming turned on the phone together and saw the message from Zhou Zhihui. The photo was of City A in the white mist. The angle of view was very high, overlooking the city with only a few outlines.

'The temperature has dropped again, and the fog has become so thick, can you also see such a scenery over there? '

Cheng Yiming opened a gap in the curtains, the glass windows were covered with water drops, the streets of the city could not be seen clearly due to the diffuse mist, and some lines of the tall buildings were faintly exposed.

Looking at the temperature today, it is indeed getting colder and colder.

Cheng Yiming looked at the screen and hesitated for a moment, then sent a line to Zhou Zhihui:

'keep warm. '

After a while, Zhou Zhihui replied with a ding dong.

'OK!receive! '

Chu Yiming opened his eyes sleepily when he heard the news, and saw Cheng Yiming standing by the window talking seriously with his mobile phone.

Chu Yiming closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose: "Who are you chatting with?"

"A friend." Cheng Yiming put away his phone, turned and left the room to prepare breakfast.

Before getting off work, Cheng Yiming looked at the bag in the locker, reached out and took out the box inside, opened it, picked up the watch and put it on his hand.

When taking a bath at night, Cheng Yiming finally took off the watch, put the watch on a pile of clothes and stepped into the bathtub.

Before going to bed, Cheng Yiming hugged Chu Yiming weakly, and Chu Yiming suddenly asked, "When did you buy the watch?"

Cheng Yiming was a little sleepy, and his tone was sticky: "Huh...? A gift from a friend... She is very nice."

"Introduce me?"

"She doesn't know your man..."

"Really?" Chu Yiming's tone was very light.

Cheng Yiming had already fallen asleep, curled up beside Chu Yiming peacefully and contentedly.

In the next few days, Chu Yiming's sexual interest in him seemed to fade a lot, only once every two or three days, and more time belonged to sleep.

Cheng Yiming took it as a vacation for his body and didn't say anything. He spent more time exchanging ideas on dishes with Zhou Zhihui.

One day after returning home from get off work, he saw two sets of formal suits in the living room. Cheng Yiming looked at Chu Yiming in confusion. The two sets were obviously the size of the two of them. Why did he suddenly prepare a suit.

"There will be a friend's party in two days, and I will take you there to play."

"Really?" Cheng Yiming raised the clothes and gestured on his body. The size and length were just right, the cut was reasonable, and the style was also very good.

"What kind of party?"

"Gourmet bar."

There are gourmet beauties and handsome men, but for Cheng Yiming, good food is enough. He invited a well-known chef in China, and Cheng Yiming should like his dishes.

"Evening?"

"We can go there at night."

Cheng Yiming put down his clothes and looked at Chu Yiming: "Is it alright if I go to see your friends?"

"They know it doesn't count as coming out."

"Then who knows to be out of the closet?"

"A passer-by, a stranger, someone who revealed the inside story, the media."

Cheng Yiming was honest and silent, his colleagues were basically strangers, and they might become some insider who revealed the inside story at any time.

The two were lying on the bed at night, Chu Yiming was still not interested, Cheng Yiming leaned over and murmured softly: "I'm cold..."

Chu Yiming looked down at the person lying beside his shoulder, seeing the way he raised his head to look at him and his attitude of accepting everything.

There was a slight sound of the sheets rubbing against each other, Chu Yiming lowered his head and kissed Cheng Yiming, wrapped his arms around his waist and rolled over.

The action is a bit rough.

The relationship between people is very delicate. Some people will never want to cross the boundary when they are friends with each other for a lifetime, and some people want to explore the deepest abyss after only a few meetings.

The abyss of Gu Qianwang is also the starting point of endless pursuit, Chu Yiming doesn't think it can be called emotion.

But he began to feel that he had a bad feeling of being swallowed up.

Giving him everything when he is well-groomed, stripping everything away and taking too much, about this person, he wants more.

Let Cheng Yiming cry, tremble, and collapse.

It is very simple to reach this level, but there is still something missing.

An unfamiliar feeling of irritability filled my heart.

After cleaning up, they hugged each other and fell asleep. Chu Yiming looked at Cheng Yiming who was huddled into a ball and hugged his arms tightly, and the restlessness in his heart calmed down a little.

Cheng Yiming started to make soup in the morning, got up early and threw the ingredients into the stew pot, and then got back under the covers to sleep for an hour's return sleep.

Maybe it's because of the frequent nightlife. Recently, Cheng Yiming always feels a little sore in his waist, especially when it's so cold. Although he's in good spirits and working well, and he's gained a little weight, Cheng Yiming is still a little worried.

This way of life is completely inconsistent with Cheng Yiming's health concept over the past 20 years, but it is hard to refuse.

Cheng Yiming also secretly stewed tonic soup for Chu Yiming, and he didn't dare to let Chu Yiming know that the tonic was an insult to Chu Yiming's powerful energy, but Cheng Yiming still secretly stewed it for the two of them to drink, he seasoned it well, The supplementary medicine is also put in less, and it tastes like an ordinary health-preserving soup.

Cheng Yiming went to work happily after breakfast and soup, and met Zhou Zhihui again unexpectedly when he walked to the gate of Zhonghua Garden.

Zhou Zhihui looked at him with a smile, told him not to leave after ordering, and asked him if he would like to join a dinner party: "There is a big chef I know and some friends of mine, if you want to go, I will introduce you. "

"Huh? I can't go tomorrow."

Zhou Zhihui looked at him regretfully: "There are people with great cooking skills, and your cooking skills are also so good, I would recommend you to get to know each other."

"No, there's really no way to go."

"Really?"

"Uh...then I'll think about it."

The smile on Zhou Zhihui's face grew stronger: "It would be great if you could go! You have thought about it and give me a message."

Sitting in Chu Yiming's car at night, Cheng Yiming looked at his profile and asked hesitantly, "Is the party you mentioned tomorrow?"

"Correct."

Cheng Yiming was a little annoyed: "A friend made an appointment with me tomorrow, she was very enthusiastic and said that she would introduce a friend to me."

"The one who gave you the watch?"

"Well, it's her."

Chu Yiming turned his head and glanced at Cheng Yiming: "Think about it yourself." Think clearly about which side to go to.

Chu Yiming's tone didn't mean to be forced at all, and Cheng Yiming made his own decision.

Cheng Yiming looked at Chu Yiming, hesitated for a while and said, "You are more important, I will go with you."

Chu Yiming smiled lightly: "Okay."

Cheng Yiming bowed his head and sent a message to Zhou Zhihui, indicating that he was not going.

Zhou Zhihui quickly replied fiercely:

'Why are you contradicting your promise?I have already told my friends that you will be there, and I have prepared an extra copy of everything, no, you have to come, even if you just show up! '

Cheng Yiming could only apologize apologetically, saying that he really didn't even have the time to show his face.

The next day Zhou Zhihui came to intercept Cheng Yiming during her lunch break, full of displeasure and complained that Cheng Yiming shouldn't play tricks on her, and asked him to show up with her no matter what.

Cheng Yiming can only say that he promised his partner to go to the same place with him, and Zhou Zhihui refused to let him go: "You promised him, so why are you hesitating with me? Are you so confident about me?"

As Zhou Zhihui spoke, she became more and more wronged. If Cheng Yiming had agreed to everything when Zhou Zhihui started to blame herself.

But this time it was rare for Cheng Yiming to be firm: "It's really not possible, I'm sorry."

Seeing Cheng Yiming's firm attitude, Zhou Zhihui was a little annoyed, and finally had nothing to do with him, turned around and left angrily.

Cheng Yiming turned around and took off the watch and put it in the locker in the dressing room, then returned to the rest area and continued to look down at the mobile phone recipes and some other miscellaneous books.

Now everyone's attitude towards Cheng Yiming is quite subtle, some avoid them, and some gather around them, but everyone already knows that Cheng Yiming is no longer in the same world as them.

This kind of estrangement is more severe than when Cheng Yiming first came here and didn't know anyone.

But there's no way around it, just like there's no turning back in life, Cheng Yiming has embarked on a different path from them, and it's inevitable that without a strong friendship, they will gradually go further and further away and become strangers.

Cheng Yiming can only let himself take a deep breath when he is nervous or feels uneasy. On this road of life, he needs to be stronger to walk.

If there is something you want, just try to get rid of the unimportant things indifferently.

In the evening, Cheng Yiming followed Chu Yiming into the bright and bright venue. The delicious food on the table showed their own beautiful color under the saturated light. Cheng Yiming looked at another area, where the chef was serving the guests on the spot. Cheng Yiming had an impression of that chef. He had seen an interview on a gourmet show before, and he appeared. He is a well-known chef in the industry who combines Chinese and Western styles.

He communicated with the guests in an orderly manner, asking them about their tastes, and chatting about where and what part of the meat tastes the best.

Chu Yiming patted Cheng Yiming and signaled him to go and play by himself, he was going to talk to those bastards.

Cheng Yiming walked over nervously and approached the table: "Hello, Teacher Qian."

The other party looked up at him and smiled politely: "What do you need?" He pointed to the dishes that had been prepared: "Are those foods not to your liking? What kind of taste do you need, I will make it for you."

Cheng Yiming quickly shook his head: "I haven't had time to eat yet, I admire you, Teacher Qian, so I want to come to say hello."

The other party was not surprised to hear Cheng Yiming say this, and said kindly: "There is salmon of good quality, do you want to try it?"

"Okay, yes, I'm cooked." Cheng Yiming looked at the other party's calm expression and instantly became a fan.

Teacher Qian put the prepared salmon into the frying pan, while Cheng Yiming was watching his movements and controlling the time.

It's really perfect. Cheng Yiming admires the unintentional, casual attitude and serious look in his eyes. How long will he have to work in the kitchen to be able to operate with such ease?

After frying, Teacher Qian picked up the meat and put it on a plate, squeezed some fresh lemon juice and handed it to Cheng Yiming.

"Try it."

Cheng Yiming nodded, cut off a piece and put it in his mouth. The meat was tight and tender, and the oil was rich and smooth. This cooking time was the most amazing. Wow, Cheng Yiming's heart was bubbling.

The chef's food tastes really blissful.
