black eyes

Yang Hugo looked full of energy today. She took out a bag from the drawer, which contained a small box.Pass it to Ye Cong: "Shuai Cong, here it is for you."

"What is this?" Ye Cong didn't know, so he stared at the bag and dared not take it.

"I saved a copy of the fried beef jerky for you, take it home and try it." She smiled, and pushed the bag further.

"This...how embarrassing..."

"It's just an ordinary snack, take it home and try it."

"Okay, thank you." Ye Cong took the bag with both hands, carefully put it in the drawer under the computer desk, and took it back together after get off work.

Monday is the most tedious and tedious work day, with a lot of trouble.He ran in and out all morning, filling in forms, issuing cards, issuing cards, stamping stamps, all miscellaneous tasks were done by him.Finally got off work at noon, went downstairs for lunch, and saw Liu Tao in the lobby downstairs.

"Brother Cong, here." Seeing Liu Tao waving to him, the two went to the restaurant together.

"Why isn't Jiangnan with you?" Ye Cong asked.

"He's working overtime right now, it's too bad, and he has to go out for an outing in the afternoon." Liu Tao shrugged.

"Run often?"

"Not really, I don't know exactly what to do. I just went out last time, and it rained so damn hard, I couldn't do anything." Liu Tao took two pairs of chopsticks and handed one pair to Ye Cong. Keep a pair for yourself.It's a quick lunch, and it's ready in less than 10 minutes.

"It's still early." Liu Tao said.

"I'll go back and make up for some sleep." He didn't feel sleepy after being busy in the morning, but now he started to feel drowsy after lunch.

"Hey, it's my fault." Liu Tao put his hand on Ye Cong's shoulder and tugged, "Thank you for your hard work last night, good brother."

Liu Tao's inadvertent words of "good brother" made him suddenly think of Song Yajun. This feeling was not good. He thought he shouldn't, and he would not project Song Yajun's shadow from other people.He doesn't have many brothers, one is Song Yajun and the other is Liu Tao, but he has to admit that he often takes Liu Tao as Song Yajun to take care of him.

He stopped suddenly and yelled at Liu Tao: "From now on, you are not allowed to drink with me in the fucking place! Uncle can't bear this trouble!"

"Okay, you have the final say and you have the final say." Liu Tao was so frightened by the sudden attack that he gave up again and again.Of course, I admit it, and the actual operation in the future is another matter.He knew Liu Tao quite well, he was a crazy person, and he picked him to get drunk when he was around.But Liu Tao's correct attitude made him lose his temper immediately.

Back in the office area, half an hour before going to work, he seized the time to recuperate, fell asleep on the table.Dazedly, I felt a chill down my spine, and vaguely felt that someone was calling me...

"Cong Shuai... Cong Shuai... Don't sleep, go to work..."

Opening his eyes and looking up, he vaguely saw that it was Yang Huguo. "Ah, I overslept..." He shook his hands, his elbows were numb from sleep.

"The air conditioner is turned on in the room. If you sleep like this, you will catch a cold." Yang Hugo glanced at him, "You don't usually take a nap, didn't you rest last night, okay?"

"Well...my friend was drunk last night, so he went to my place to toss about until the early hours of the morning before falling asleep."

"Next time, I need to wear some clothes for my lunch break." Yang Hugo returned to his seat, and turned around and said, "I woke you up because I was afraid you might catch a cold. The leader didn't come."

"Thank you." He winked at Yang Hugo to express his gratitude.

There is a lot less work in the afternoon, not as rushed as in the morning.In fact, he thinks that he should stay on the construction site, at least he can learn some real things. To put it bluntly here, he just spends his days with dead wages.Even if it is not a summer job, if you are transferred to Party A's site as an employee of Party B, there is still no chance of promotion.No wonder Brother Nan said before that the old employees were unwilling to come, probably because of this.

Fortunately, it was only a summer job, and I went back to school when school started.

When he got off work at 5 o'clock, he dragged on for 10 minutes, and there was no one in the office area after finishing what he was doing.After tidying up the computer desk and putting the files in the drawer, I found that the beef jerky that Yang Huguo sent in the morning was still in it.

He carried the box of beef jerky out of the office building and walked towards the bus, but a white Chevrolet followed slowly behind him, opened the window parallel to him, and it was Pu Cheng.

"Are you free tonight?" The other party looked out of the car window at him.

"I'm free, hey, if you're free tonight, how about I treat you to dinner?" He remembered that he still owed Pu Cheng a meal.

"I was going to have dinner, but it's not your treat, it's my friend's treat." A smile appeared on the face of the driver, which was extraordinarily bright under the sun.

"Then you ask me what I do when I'm free?" Ye Cong shook the bag in his hand.

"I invite you to come together." Pu Cheng continued to smile.

Ye Cong was a little baffled, he and Pu Cheng haven't gotten to know each other enough to have dinner with each other's friends, right?

"Isn't that good? I don't know your friends. If you go so rashly, it will spoil the atmosphere." After thinking about it, he decided to refuse.

"Then instead of inviting me to dinner, let's go to dinner with me instead." Pu Cheng's smile continued, and he asked him such a question instead, "Is that all right?"

He looked at Pu Cheng, this man was restrained in his bones, and his smile was very eye-catching, he thought so more than once.

But this has nothing to do with accompanying him to dinner with friends, does it?

"Can I say no?"

"No. Get in the car."

Pu Cheng flatly refused, and without giving him any room to return, he leaned over and opened the co-pilot's door for him.Therefore, he had no choice, sighed, walked around to the co-pilot of the car, opened the door and sat down, put the bag of beef jerky on the co-pilot, and fastened his seat belt.

"What is this?" Pu Cheng looked at the bag on the stage.

"Ah? Oh, this is beef jerky made by my colleague. She gave me a box of green and healthy snacks." He smiled and looked at Pu Cheng with some embarrassment.

"Sent by a female colleague?" When the other party asked this sentence, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Well, but it's not what you think, just a simple colleague." Seeing Pu Cheng's expression, he felt that he needed to explain, and it was best not to cause misunderstandings.

"What am I thinking?" Pu Cheng laughed.

"No matter what you think, we are simply colleagues."

"I didn't say it wasn't pure..." Pu Cheng became more and more happy, "Don't be nervous."

Ye Cong stopped talking, the car started, and started slowly.

Pu Cheng suddenly asked: "By the way, there is one more thing... Do you have your driver's license?"

"I brought it, but I just took it and haven't officially passed by, what's the matter?" Ye Cong replied.

"Cough... just have a driver's license. I'll be drinking tonight. I can't drive then, so I can only trouble you to take me home." Pu Cheng said.

He was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly realized: "It is false to dare to invite me to eat with you, but is it true to invite me to be the driver?"

"No way, I asked you if you have a driver's license after inviting you first. And you are still a novice, I really want to find a replacement driver, so I won't be looking for a novice." This guy pretended to be wronged, and continued to turn the steering wheel, Don't forget to tease him.

"Okay, don't worry, let me drive the car, then I'm not afraid." He saw Pu Cheng's hands on the steering wheel, slender and well-knuckled, very beautiful.

The car drove to the door of a Chinese restaurant in the food city, and when he was about to get off the car, he suddenly asked Pu Cheng: "It's not an important dinner, right? If so, I can wait for you in the car, and I'll take you back when you come out." After thinking about it, he felt that this seemed more appropriate.

"You really want to ask you to be a substitute driver? It's just a few friends chatting and having a meal." Pu Cheng got out of the car first, and then came to help him open the door.

Knowing that it would be hypocritical to refuse again, he no longer dodged.After thinking for a while, he turned back and picked up the beef jerky on the platform and said, "Why don't I take this box of beef jerky with me and add a side dish?"

Pu Cheng couldn't help laughing, "Given it to you by Miss Ren, are you willing?"

"Oh, no kidding, the taste should be very good. The key is to take it home and give it to my parents, and they will ask questions." He pinched his nose helplessly.

Pu Cheng didn't refuse any more, "Then you take it with you, my group of friends won't be polite to you."

After entering the hall, when the waiter led the two of them to the door of the private room, Pu Cheng took the box from Ye Cong and handed it to the waiter: "Please put this on a plate for us, and it will be served with other cold dishes later."

"Okay sir." The waiter took the bag and turned to leave.

Seeing the waiter leave, Pu Cheng turned his head and said to Ye Cong: "It's just a normal meal, nothing special, don't think too much about it."

"Well, I didn't think much about it." Ye Cong said.

After entering the door, four of Pu Cheng's friends had arrived, including a lady.Just wait for Pucheng.Just as he was about to say hello, he found that Pu Cheng was following behind him...a handsome boy with dark skin.

"Cheng, it's finally here!" The person sitting right in front happened to see Pu Cheng.

"Hey, I brought friends." The lady has exquisite makeup, and when she smiles, there are two pear dimples on her cheeks, which is very beautiful.

"Hurry up and introduce you to bring friends!"

"Come on little brother, sit here."

In the greeting, Ye Cong politely followed the seat they arranged, and sat next to Pu Cheng. 6 people sat around a large round table, and the positions were a little farther apart.

Except for the lady, the other three can be seen to be a little older, probably around 30 years old.

"This is Ye Cong, a colleague from my unit." Pu Cheng introduced him to the four people, and then introduced the four people to him from left to right: "This is Wan Shuyan, my high school and college classmate."

Ye Cong nodded in greeting: "Hello." The other side nodded to him.

"This is Zhu Mengling, and Mori Zimao and You Qingyu, they are all my college classmates."

Ye Cong nodded to the people introduced by Pu Cheng.

During the chat, the waiter also began to serve the dishes. The style of Z City is to serve the cold dishes first.When the third dish was served, the box of beef jerky was put on it, but it was much more upscale to put it on a plate than in a bento box.

"Wait, we... didn't order this dish, did we?" Zhu Mengling asked the waiter, she thought the wrong dish was served.

"This is a special dish specially brought by Ye Cong. You all have a good time today. You will try it later. It is an environmentally friendly and healthy green food." After Pu Cheng introduced this humble beef jerky, it was so delicious. It seemed to be quite strange, and immediately whetted the appetite of these people.

"Really? Thank you so much, I have to try it later." Zhu Mengling looked like a girl who likes spicy food, and stared at this plate of cold dishes for a long time.

"Next time, don't be too polite. We are all very casual people, and we don't usually pay attention to those things, but I really like this way of meeting, hahaha..." Qingyu has already started to move his chopsticks.

"Whoever is casual, you are the most casual, we are not casual." Wan Shuyan glanced at him.

"That's right, we're not casual." Zhu Mengling pouted in agreement.

Mori Zimao silently nodded, expressing approval.After a while, there was a burst of laughter in the private room, and they seemed to tease each other like this often.

"No trouble, I think everyone might like it if they try it." Ye Cong replied with a smile, he sat upright, after all, he was quite reserved in a completely unfamiliar circle and his age did not match him.

The dishes were served one after another, and during the dinner, everyone chatted about university or work matters while eating.Ye Cong didn't have many topics to talk about, so he spent most of his time eating in silence and listening to what other people said.

Pu Cheng greeted Ye Cong and others to escort him home, so he could not drink, and Zhu Mengling was a lady who did not drink.The other four ordered two bottles of Wuliangye, and it seemed that their capacity for alcohol was not a problem.In the eating and drinking room, Zhu Mengling asked Ye Cong: "Seeing that you are young, you are working in a government unit? It's amazing."

"No, I'm still in college, and I work in the Municipal Construction Committee because I'm a summer job, and the company sent me there to do odd jobs." Ye Cong answered truthfully.

"Oh, let me just say, I'm not very old, so I'm still in school." Zhu Mengling nodded as if suddenly realizing.

"How old is Xiao Cong?" Asen also joined in the fun and asked.

"I'm 22, and I'll graduate from university next year." Ye Cong replied.

"It's good to be young, we are all old..." Wan Shuyan leaned on the chair leisurely and asked Ye Cong: "Look at Pu Cheng, do you think he is the same age as us?"

Ye Cong smiled apologetically, "To be honest, at first I thought he was a student, singing in a bar..."

All four laughed.

"The bars on our street want to sign Pu Cheng as a resident singer, and the price they offer is three times that of ordinary singers. I can't even afford this price." Wan Shuyan clicked his tongue twice, "It's a pity that people can't see it." superior."

Zhu Mengling gave Wan Shuyan a blank look, "All the singers in our class have worked for you for free."

"Hahahaha... yes, yes, that's why they are very jealous..." Wan Shu extended his joy.

"Indeed, you can't win by force." Pu Cheng said with a smile.

Pu Cheng said that his appearance price was quite high, at that time he thought he was just joking, but now hearing Wan Shuyan say that, it must be true.After a meal, I gradually let go.He accompanied Zhu Mengling to drink, and the other four drank Wuliangye.

Midfielder Pu Cheng said to go to the bathroom, and just as he was about to go out, Wan Shuyan got up and followed, "Let's go together."

At the sink, Wan Shuyan suddenly asked Pu Cheng: "What is the relationship between you and your little colleague?"

"Otherwise, what else would it matter?" Pu Cheng asked disapprovingly.

"Or do you have any thoughts about him?" Wan Shuyan continued to ask.

"Any ideas?"

"It's best not to have any thoughts, I'm afraid that you will become inhuman again." Wan Shuyan took a deep breath, with a solemn expression, not joking at all.

Although several years have passed, Pu Cheng's last relationship experience really left him with lingering fears.

Looking at Pu Cheng now, absolutely no one would think that there was a time when he was like a drug addict and even almost lost his life, and now thinking of it, he still feels his heart twitching.

It was him who pulled him back from the brink of despair bit by bit when he was at his most desperate in Pucheng.Although Pu Cheng has recovered his health now, he is no longer the one with a clear mind, but compared to that time, this is definitely his best state at present.

"Those days are over long ago, and you will only see me getting better and better in the future." Pu Cheng said, "That's a colleague from my unit, who went back to school after the summer vacation."

"That's good." Wan Shuyan nodded.

Go back to the private room and continue chatting and eating.The two bottles of Wuliangye were almost enough for the four of them.After the meal, Zhu Mengling drove by herself, so she said hello and left first.Mori Zimao called his driver to pick him up, and sent You Qingyu and Wan Shuyan back together, while Ye Cong was responsible for sending Pu Cheng home.

Pu Cheng drank a lot of wine, but he was still sober. He was not so drunk that he passed out. Compared with Liu Tao, this wine was much better.

Therefore, Ye Cong drove the car on the return journey, and Pu Cheng sat in the co-pilot.He opened the window to blow some air, but Ye Cong reminded him: "Don't blow the air, you won't be able to stand it later."

"It's okay, the car will be closed when you start it." Pu Cheng pressed his hand on the car window and looked outside calmly, expressionless.

"Where do you live? I can use the navigation." He asked Pu Cheng.

Pu Cheng told him the address, "Drive slowly, don't worry."

"Okay, I don't dare to drive too fast."

"Thank you today, I have caused you trouble." After blowing for 2 minutes, Pu Cheng felt uncomfortable, so he obediently closed the window.

"No trouble, if you want to sleep, you can sleep for a while, and I will call you when you arrive." It was the first time he officially started on the road, and he drove very carefully.

"No, I don't want to sleep. Don't worry about me, just concentrate on driving." There was a little tiredness in Pu Cheng's tone, but he insisted on refusing to sleep.

Afterwards, the two fell into silence and stopped talking.Because Ye Cong really didn't dare to be distracted while driving; besides, Pu Cheng was drunk and really didn't want to talk.

The car was running smoothly, but Ye Cong suddenly felt the strange atmosphere, he turned his head to look at Pu Cheng's side face, that was the first thing he saw in the bar at that time, with a well-defined nose. .Because of the alcohol, the other party's eyes were a little dull, and the light in the car was dim, but he could still clearly see this unusually handsome face.

More than half an hour later, the car stopped at the gate of the community.
