Difficult office romance

There is about a 20-minute drive between Yuanyuan and Ke Ran's work units. In order to avoid the evening rush hour and there is no other arrangement in the afternoon, Ke Ran chooses to leave work early.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, after sorting out all kinds of materials on the desk and checking the work files in the mailbox, Ke Ran turned off the computer with confidence.

Seeing Ke Ran's movements, He Duo who was beside him was surprised and said, "Get off work so early today?"

Zheng Nan, who was passing by, also echoed: "Are you going on a date?"

When He Duo heard the words, he immediately said, "Go, Ke Ran! Give me the job! That's how brothers use it!"

Ke Ran couldn't hear the indecency in their tone, and he was too lazy to argue with these two people, so he simply followed their words: "Yes, I'm still waiting for me to pick it up, let's go first."

Ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he picked up his bag and stood up from his seat and took the first step, the door of Cen Jing's office opened.

Cen Jing held the document bag in one hand and maintained the movement of opening the door with the other. Looking at Ke Ran who was obviously ready to leave work not far away, he raised his eyebrows.

The figure paused for only two seconds, as if he didn't notice Ke Ran standing there, Cen Jing walked to He Duo's table in a few steps, and handed the materials in his hand to He Duo.

Cen Jing: "The extra materials from the last case are in my office. You can compare them with the ones in your hand, and the duplicates will be destroyed."

But when He Duo skillfully took over the materials, he glanced at the side inadvertently, and inadvertently asked, "Ke Ran is off work?"

Before Ke Ran could speak, He Duo had already answered on his behalf: "Ke Ran is going on a date today."

Ke Ran froze in place.

Okay, He Duo, good brother.

Cen Jing's team does not strictly limit the team's lawyers' commuting time. It is not taboo to leave work early. Everyone even advocates more social interaction under the premise of reasonable work arrangements. Therefore, He Duo revealed that Ke Ran is going on a date. It will not have any adverse effects on Ke Ran.

The premise is that it is not exposed to the boyfriend who does not know that he has a date after get off work and the date is obviously not his own.

At this moment, Cen Jing met Ke Ran's eyes, smiled and said, "Oh? Then go, it just so happens that there is nothing else going on here."

Ke Ran also smiled at Cen Jing: "Well, Cen Lu, I'll go first."

But no one looked away. After looking at each other for three seconds, Cen Jing turned and returned to the office. Ke Ran greeted other colleagues in the office and left.

Miraculously, the two of them felt that they had read the message when they looked at each other for three seconds.

Ke Ran: Friends!only friends!

Cen Jing: Well, I believe you.

Without hesitation, Ke Ran and Yuan Yuan chose a charcoal-fired barbecue restaurant that they often go to.

After taking a sip of pumpkin porridge at the right temperature, the snowflake beef was sizzling on the grill. When I clicked on Moments, I saw people complaining about overtime work and traffic jams. Ke Ran couldn't help but sigh, this is life.

Yuan Yuan on the opposite side looked at him quite understandingly. The crisp and tender lettuce rolled up the tenderloin dipped in the dipping sauce, and he bit it down. The refreshing taste of the lettuce skillfully relieved the greasiness of the tenderloin. full-bodied.

The two didn't stop their chopsticks until they ate up all the cooked food on the baking tray in one go.

Flipping the barbecue absently, Yuan Yuan asked, "You and Cen Jing are really dating?"

Ke Ran, who was drinking water, was choked by his unpretentious words. After coughing twice, he said helplessly, "Yeah, otherwise, I'm still going to be flirty?"

Seeing Yuan Yuan's "yes, that's what I think" expression on his face, Ke Ran told himself, to be calm, to be calm, to commit murder and commit crimes for more than three years but less than ten years.

It took nearly half a minute to calm down, and Ke Ran was able to speak calmly: "I said before that I wanted to catch up, and then I caught up... although I don't really believe it. He did it himself."

Yuan Yuan shook his head, heartbroken: "Why didn't you think of buying a lottery ticket then?"

"That's right!" Hearing what he said, Ke Ran suddenly felt his heart throbbing.

Yuan Yuan took a bite of the side dish, chewed it and swallowed it, then suddenly twitched his eyebrows and said, "Then you two are in an office romance now?"

Ke Ran put a few mushrooms on the baking tray: "That's right."

"Do you want to make it public?" After Yuan Yuan finished speaking, he was afraid that Ke Ran would misunderstand. He knew that he had already disclosed his sexuality to his family, so he added, "I mean at the office."

Ke Ran leaned back on the chair: "We haven't talked about this matter. Hey, clamp it up, or the meat will be old!"

Yuan Yuanbai glanced at him, and still picked up the tongs and picked up the fragrant ribs piece by piece, put them on a plate, and put a piece into Ke Ran's dipping plate, and said, "How did you think about it? Don't Tell me you haven't thought about it."

The "I never thought about it" that Ke Ran just said was suppressed by Yuan Yuan, and he said honestly: "What else can I do, let's hide it from everyone first."

"How long can you hide it?" Yuan Yuan frowned.

"Help it as long as you can." Ke Ran sighed, "There is a colleague with a good relationship in the office who knows, but the others are still unaware. It's okay for younger ones, but it's hard for older ones to understand .”

Yuan Yuan nodded: "Indeed, and if it spreads out, it will have a great impact, right? Lost customers or something?"

"Should be." After speaking, Ke Ran picked up the ribs and stuffed them into his mouth, and said in an inarticulate tone: "It's okay for me, anyway, I have no case source. It will have a greater impact on Cen Jing, so I dare not bet on it."

"Understood, let's do it and see. Take ten thousand steps back, at least you won't break the law." Yuan Yuan comforted.

Not wanting to continue such a serious topic, Yuan Yuan said again: "However, according to the general law of things, shouldn't your boyfriend treat me to dinner?"

"Isn't it because girls are in a relationship that they ask their boyfriends to invite their girlfriends to dinner? It's so complicated to be gay?!" Ke Ran was shocked.

"It's just that complicated." Yuan Yuan didn't feel ashamed at all when he was eating reasonably.

"Then I'll mention it sometime."

In fact, it’s nothing. Ke Ran even felt that even if he didn’t mention it, Cen Jing would take the initiative to invite his friends to dinner and get together. .

"As soon as possible." Yuan Yuan urged.

"well."

Ke Ran was helpless, how could this person be so shameless and confident, "How is your new job recently? Have you gotten used to it in the past few months?"

Now it's Yuan Yuan's turn to sigh, "I always thought that my lack of enthusiasm for work was due to lack of interest, so I jumped from my original unit to this favorite magazine. But I didn't find my interest after working for a few months. Can't save me..."

Hearing Yuan Yuan's words, Ke Ran put down his hand to pick up the vegetables. He knew that Yuan Yuan was not happy working in the original place, and he also saw Yuan Yuan's hard work in coming over step by step. He wanted to wait for his friend to finish complaining and encourage him. After a while, Yuan Yuan slowly finished the last few words: "...I'm just lazy."

Why can't you be lazy? ! !

So this time the two people's dinner party ended under Ke Ran's contemptuous eyes, but the despised person didn't realize it, and when he got off the car, he turned his head and reminded: "Please eat, I heard that Wangfujing recently opened a new tea restaurant, which is not bad. .”

Ke Ran couldn't bear it anymore: "Let's go!"

After returning home, Ke Ran, who was lying on the bed after taking a shower, remembered the embarrassment of meeting Cen Jing when he left the office in the afternoon, but it was a bit sweet.

Click on the WeChat dialog box with Cen Jing, pick out two photos of barbecues taken during dinner at night, and send them over.

Ke Ran: It tastes pretty good, let's eat it together next time!

I also struggled to find a normal-looking cute cat in my indescribable emoji collection and sent it to me.

Not long after, Cen Jing replied.

Cen Jing: Alright, are you home?

Ke Ran: Here we are, already lying on the bed.

Ke Ran thought for a while, and sometimes took the initiative to explain.

Ke Ran: The meal I ate with Yuan Yuan today is the one you met at the Japanese food store last time.

Ke Ran: He knew we were together, so I told him.

Ke Ran: ...you don't mind, do you?

Looking at the three WeChat messages sent by Ke Ran without any interval on the screen of the mobile phone, Cen Jing seemed to feel Ke Ran's nervous and cautious attitude, and his heart softened a bit.

Cen Jing: Of course I don't mind, my pleasure.

Cen Jing: When will you treat your friends to dinner?

Sure enough, there is no need to mention it yourself, Cen Jing is super good at life, Ke Ran thought in his heart, and he was a little proud.

So Ke Ran quickly sold Yuan Yuan who asked Cen Jing to invite him to dinner today.

After discussing, the two decided to invite Yuan Yuan to dinner this weekend.

Thinking of his nominal ex, although that person was a bit unreliable, but he could still deal with people well, so Cen Jing decided to help him.

Cen Jing: By the way, let's call Shanglu Qingyu together, he also knows.

Ke Ran agreed without thinking too much.

The four ended up meeting for dinner on a Saturday night.

When Cen Jing picked up Ke Ran and went to the shop, he found Lu Qingyu already sitting in the private room drinking tea.

This person is always very positive whenever he encounters such a situation where he can make fun of other people.

As the protagonist, he was not the first to arrive, Ke Ran was a little embarrassed.

Cen Jing and Lu Qingyu didn't think there was anything wrong, especially Lu Qingyu, who was about to tell Ke Ran about Cen Jing's childhood embarrassment while pulling the stool.

After being warned by Cen Jing's eyes, he had to change his strategy and exchanged WeChat with Ke Ran.

Seeing Ke Ran's crooked eyes, Cen Jing ignored the two of them, took the menu aside and began to order.

Yuan Yuan was the last one to arrive, and Ke Ran went out to pick him up.Knowing that he was late, Yuan Yuan was busy apologizing when he pushed the door in.

So the two stood, and the other two sat facing each other, and the scene seemed familiar.

The first one who didn't hold back was Ke Ran, who laughed out loud.

Cen Jing also laughed along with him, and Lu Qingyu looked at the pink atmosphere of the two of them and clicked his tongue before standing up and warmly calling Yuan Yuan to sit down.

Yuan Yuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that this person was the "ex-boyfriend" of Cen Jing whom he had met before. Ke Ran had already explained about his ex-boyfriend when he asked him out. But when he first came in, he really didn't recognize it as the same person.The last time we met, he was dressed so normally, and I thought this person was quite handsome, but why is he so... fancy today?

To say that Lu Qingyu is flashy is not to offend him, it can be seen that he dressed up with care today, dark pattern shirt, double-breasted suit, narrow-leg pants, Meng Ke shoes, how to show off.

In addition, the other three are all simple shirts and T-shirts. If there is no contrast, there will be no harm, and if there is no outstanding, there will be no embarrassment.

Lu Qing was bitter in his heart, he thought that everyone would dress formally, after all, it was a dinner party to introduce relationships, he never thought that the other three would be so popular, he could only thank the air conditioner for saving his dog's life.

But fortunately, none of the four of them can speak, and they immediately entered the state after a few words of pleasantries - making fun of Ke Ran and Cen Jing.

From talking about the recently cooler weather to praising the pastures in Hokkaido, from crusading against the newly introduced purchase restriction policy to analyzing the new regulations on asset management, Lu Qingyu and Yuan Yuan quickly united front, no matter what the topic is, they can tease Ke Ran or Challenge Cen Jing.

It's not too much, Cen Jing Keran naturally doesn't mind.

After dinner, Yuan Yuan and Lu Qingyu had formed a revolutionary friendship.

So much so that when returning home, Lu Qingyu, who was not driving, resolutely refused Cen Jing to take him home, and Yuan Yuan on the side also echoed: "You two go your own way, I will take Brother Lu home."

Lu Qingyu refused, saying that it would be convenient to take a taxi by himself.

"It's more convenient for me to drive. Anyway, it's still early, so let's just treat it as you walking with me." After Yuan Yuan finished speaking, the brothers seemed to pat Lu Qingyu on the shoulder.

Lu Qingyu agreed, and agreed that the next time he went out for dinner, he would pick up Yuan Yuan in advance, take charge of it, and send him home after the meal, one-stop service.Cen Jing glanced complicatedly at Lu Qingyu, who was smiling all over his face, and left with Ke Ran without saying anything.

But Ke Ran was still wondering, a person like Lu Qingyu doesn't look like he likes to take a taxi to go out, is it because of the limited number?
