don't talk to aliens

China, Longjiang.

8: 45PM

It has been almost six hours since the four of them met at the airport.

Because when we were at the airport, we had already agreed that the four of us would have a meal together, and they were both natives of Longjiang.

So after some consideration, the first meal after returning to China was finally at Chen Zhen's personal suggestion, and he chose a place that was acceptable to both parties as much as possible.

"Although the place we went to was not big, it was contracted by Mr. Jiang Chen, the owner of the cafeteria in my undergraduate university. The owner is very kind. He has been cooking for the students in the school for more than 20 years. Many of my seniors know him. , I have graduated for so many years, I still remember that the fish cooked here is the best..."

At that time, everyone was on their way here, and Chen Zhen, who was driving in front, had been enthusiastically introducing the other three people.

The restaurant he recommended was actually a place called the canteen of the Transportation Technical School behind Longjiang University.

It can be called a technical school cafeteria, but it is actually more like a local home-cooked restaurant that can be seen everywhere around the university.

In addition, although Chen Zhen was born in an orthodox academic family, his parents are well-mannered and have a strict family tradition.

But unlike Fu Bailong's rich family, his childhood was spent more in the university cafeteria where his parents took him to eat.

In his memory, during his school years, his father, Professor Chen, packed some meals for him from the cafeteria every now and then.

His mother was so busy with graduate students throughout the year that she never cooked at home, but she occasionally remembered that she had to supplement her son's nutrition for the exam this week, and she bought two meat dishes from the cafeteria for Chen Zhen to warm up after school.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was there this time, Fu Bailong and Li Xie obviously disagreed.

After many years, Chen Zhen, who was not familiar with the urban area for a long time, came to the back of the Daxue Road he used to be familiar with after thinking about it, and found this small technical school cafeteria with old and simple decoration, but it is still open after many years.

Along the way, taking care that Fu Bailong and Li Xie were not familiar with each other when they met for the first time, Chen Zhen and Lu Yiming, who were sitting in the front and rear rows, kept talking to them.

Chen Zhen is well-bred and has a good temper. He can put down his airs and chat with anyone.

Even if he treats Li Xie in such a way that he doesn't belong to the same social class, he can still show a good attitude towards Lu Yiming's relatives, chatting back and forth with each other.

In this regard, Fu Bailong, who had some inexplicable prejudice against Li Xie, including Lu Yiming, obviously couldn't accept it because of the previous incident.

In my heart, I am 1 dissatisfied with my friend's act of being forced to put down his airs and compromise with this kind of hooligan and liar for the sake of ridiculous and sloppy feelings.

But in this situation, Chen Zhen, who was already with Lu Yiming and had no discernment ability, could not listen to him.

So Fu Bailong, who suppressed his unreasonable aversion to the two brothers, could only follow along along the way.

"Waiter! Bring two more beers to our table! Why are you so slow? People!"

"Okay, okay, come right away!"

"For this table, pack our table first! Then pay the bill!"

At this moment, there are messy noises in my ears. When I came, this traffic technical school restaurant happened to be in time for lunch today.

A row of today's specials was crookedly written on the small board at the door, and there were seven or eight crowded small tables with square stools in the small shop.

At a glance, the store is crowded with people, but there is no air conditioning inside or outside.

There are mobile barbecue stalls and stacked rows of plastic tables and stools outside, presumably for people from all walks of life who come to eat supper in two hours.

There were several tables of customers joining in one after another, and the person who ordered food saw all the foremen who were off work, and the elder brothers who smoked and drank.

There were also a few little waiters who picked up the menus and chased away the flies, shuttled around their tables and ordered the food to be served. Seeing them coming in to find a table, they hurriedly brought a large pot of hot water to the table.

"Yiming, Bailong, what do you want to eat? Don't be polite to me. Except for drinking, you can ask for anything tonight..."

Probably because he was really in a good mood this trip back home, Chen Zhen who asked the waiter for the menu and handed it to everyone looked quite relaxed.

He was originally a personable and knowledgeable doctor who studied abroad.

Even if he took off his usual high-end suit for a short time, sitting in such a noisy small restaurant environment and talking to them with a smile, there is a kind of gentle and elegant academic demeanor.

Normally, Fu Bailong must have enjoyed the process of having a quiet meal with him.

But now, what appeared in front of them were several sets of disposable vacuum white tableware, with boiling water for boiling cups and saucers in the middle, and a few plates of melon seeds and side dishes that were brought up casually.

"Ah? Me? I can do whatever I want, or...ask Mr. Fu and brother first? Mr. Fu, brother, what do you want to eat?"

Lu Yiming, who was bending over to find a place to help Chen Zhen put his things away, seemed to have not been back to China for a long time, and he was a little hesitant when asked about this kind of thing.

But first he thought about it, and then subconsciously looked at Fu Bailong and Li Xie who hadn't spoken much since just now.

Seeing the two sitting on the opposite side reluctantly sitting together, they didn't seem to talk to each other.

Lu Yiming, who thought that they just didn't like each other along the way, was a little hesitant. After looking around and thinking about it, he pushed Chen Zhendao as if he was trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"Uh, forget it, I think you should order it, Mr. Fu, I heard from Chen Zhen that you have higher requirements for taste, why don't you take a look? Do you have any taboos or would you like to eat?"

In good conscience, Lu Yiming took the initiative to ask such a question, which is considered to be very considerate of his own and others' feelings.

He and Fu Bailong are not very familiar with each other, and today is also the first time they met. He only heard Chen Zhen recount their childhood friendship together. In his heart, for Fu Bailong, he obviously wanted to follow Chen Zhen to treat him with respect. .

And suddenly being called, Fu Bailong, who was still leaning on the chair and staring coldly at the surrounding air, also raised his head.

As far as he could see, his shirt was rolled up to his arms, revealing half of his arms, his collar was unbuttoned two times, and his complexion also revealed an aura that no strangers should enter.

Lu Yiming happened to be sitting opposite him at this moment, and the feeling of intuitively feeling the strong presence of the other party also made him even less willing to talk to the other party for a while.

Because from his personal emotional point of view, the current situation really made him feel extremely bad.

On one side is his love rival, and on the other side is his love rival's elder brother. Compared with eating, any normal person obviously wants to hit someone more in his heart.

What's more unfortunate is that Fu Bailong, whose face sank slightly, happened to be looking up at this moment.

Not far from them, on the table of a table next door, there were still a few messy stir-fried vegetables, and a pile of used toothpicks and paper towels that were discarded on the ground.

"..."

This dirty and messy scene made people feel a little disgusting, which made the cleanliness very serious. Seeing this situation, he frowned uncomfortably and immediately lost his appetite.

Let alone sitting down to eat at the moment, I don’t even want to touch the disposable disinfection tableware in front of me that can’t be cleaned at first glance.

Especially this kind of small restaurant with poor sanitation and no dining atmosphere.

In normal times, Mr. Fu himself would not even be willing to step in with one foot if he has an arrogance and cleanliness.

And even though he was sitting politely, he was already regretting in his heart that Fu Bailong, who had followed him, didn't speak, but his face was ugly, but he still felt that the air around him was out of tune with him.

"I have no objection, as long as you are happy."

This kind of cold answer that didn't give face at all, and made the atmosphere of the meal a little stiff, suddenly made Lu Yiming, who was kind and kind, took the initiative to ask him about his taste, and was a little stunned.

Seeing this, Chen Zhen, who was sitting by the side, seemed to sense that his friends were in a bad mood when they were called to have dinner together.

It's just that Fu Bailong didn't know the reason for what Fu Bailong said to Lu Yiming out of the blue.

On the other side, Li Xie, who was lowering his head to pour boiling water for his brother to wash the dishes, didn't speak for a while when he heard this.

But there was a hint of sex in the air mixed with another smell strangely.

He didn't take the initiative to speak much along the way, but he took out the hand with the big gold chain in his pocket first, and then put it on the table and knocked on the table suddenly and frighteningly.

When he knocked, the tableware in front of Fu Bailong was shaken by 'Peng'.

Lu Yiming was taken aback by this, thinking what the bad-tempered rogue brother was trying to do, don't stand up and hit someone, he was a little flustered for a while.

But then, the elder brother who was lazily leaning on the chair just straightened up, first handed the washed cups and saucers to his precious brother, and then raised the corners of his mouth and spoke slowly.

"Silly boy, what are you asking? Isn't this kind of question obvious? Ren Fu always sees the world, he is generous, and he is also Chen Zhen's friend. The two of you must have the most expensive treats? Are you now?" If you ask someone like this, they will definitely not be able to open their mouths, what should I say? Can you just open your mouth and say what you want to eat?"

"..."

"If you want me to say, Chen Zhen is rich, and he spends so much money, he has to go to the most expensive place to entertain friends he hasn't seen for so long. After all, there are no friends who have a lot of friendship, right? They are the most ordinary ordinary friends. We have to treat each other well." Hospitality! I think, what kind of abalone and lobster should be served today, Mr. Renfu is also very happy, you are worthy of the meal that people waited for you all the way from abroad, don’t you think so, huh?”

It is obviously not easy to say such words from the mouth of a 'big hooligan' who seems to have no emotional intelligence, let alone culture.

From just meeting to sitting down to eat now, this is the first time he called Fu Bailong seriously, but combined with this situation, the tone sounded a bit sarcastic.

You Qi didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the word "friend" firmly stepped on the pain point that Fu Bailong didn't want to be mentioned the most.

However, his words were very rough and obviously a bit glib, but it did ease the weird atmosphere between the four of them a little bit.

So for a while because of his own brother's words, he showed a look of sudden realization, and people like Lu Yiming who think more directly did not think much, he just breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at ease, saying,

"So it's like this, hey, I was scared to death just now, President Fu, I'm sorry, I'm not very good at talking, don't mind..."

"...Well, it seems that my consideration was negligent, Bai Long, I'm sorry."

Although he was not as easily dismissed as Lu Yiming, Chen Zhen knew that the current situation was handled better in this way, and he also apologized to Fu Bailong for this reason.

And at this point, Fu Bailong, who had been disturbed and had no mood to eat at all, fell silent for a while, but knowing that it would be boring to continue entangled with this topic, he still looked away indifferently for a long time, and frowned again.

"Well, I'm fine, just watch it."

This sentence can be regarded as exposing the previous friction and embarrassment caused by him.

The four of them ordered food normally, and the food in the small restaurant was served quickly during the period, because they had to drive home next time, and they didn't have much to drink.

During the process, Chen Zhen, Lu Yiming, and Li Xie hit it off quite well, and they seemed to be friends who had known each other for a long time when the topics kept going on. Only Fu Bailong rarely took the initiative to speak.

Coupled with the premise that he was in a bad mood, he had no appetite at all, and the taste was so chewy that his stomach hurt. He only ate half of the meal, and he got up and wanted to say goodbye.

"Brother, Chen Zhen, let's find another place to continue the stall later! I want to eat barbecue and beer! You can't eat this in foreign countries!"

"Yo, okay, that's a good idea, Chen Zhen, what do you think?"

"I can do anything, as long as Yiming is happy."

Next to the ear, the voices of the other three talking happily together sounded like people from two worlds with him.

He felt that he was a little out of place.

Or to put it more, for the first time, Fu Bailong clearly felt that the friendship between him and Chen Zhen was actually far less important to the other party than he imagined.

He seemed to recall what he had read a philosopher said in an astronomy book a long time ago.

[If life is full of stories like the universe, then the distance between the stars above your head is probably the same as the actual distance between humans when they get along. 】

[Sometimes you think you know a person very well, you are intimate with him, share all your inner secrets, and you think you are the only one for each other, but in fact, you may only understand when you really understand, the seemingly seamless Get closer, the distance between you and the other party may be only the distance between the stars and the moon. 】

This kind of strong self-doubt caused a burst of sarcasm and disappointment in his heart. Even the proud son of heaven, who was always arrogant and arrogant, had tasted for the first time in his life the feeling of getting what he wanted.

But in order not to let Chen Zhen or the other two people see what was wrong with him, and then reduce himself into a complete joke, he was a little anxious and irritable, and he insisted on staying like this until after nine o'clock that night.

When the four of them finally finished the meal that was about to kill him, and finally watched Chen Zhen send the other two home, Fu Bailong just shook his head when faced with his friend's proposal to send him back together.

"No, on the first day you return to China, send those two people home first, and I have a driver myself."

"Really? But Bailong, I happen to be on the way too."

Chen Zhen's good old heart began to trouble him unconsciously again.

"No, go do your work, I don't need you to look at me all the time."

"..."

"Don't worry, I have nothing to do with you. We have always been best friends. This will never change."

The tone of this sentence was so pale that Fu Bailong felt extremely against his will when he said it, but it finally reassured Chen Zhen and nodded and turned away.

And Fu Bailong, who was finally able to be alone after watching everyone he cared about the most in his life get into the car and disappeared, was so pale and ugly that he still wanted to maintain a normal look, which he could hardly pretend to be.

For a long time, facing the oppressive and cold night above his head, Fu Bailong, who was about to curl up with pain in his stomach, put down his hand, and his eyes were a little sore, so he sent such a message to his subordinates.

——【Rachel. 】

--【boss?What's wrong?Your party with Mr. Chen is over?How did it end so soon? 】

——【No questions, find someone to pick me up at Longjiang University right now, if I'm a second late, unfortunately I'll be hospitalized, you... go to the Human Resources Department to collect your unemployment benefits tomorrow. 】
