not lonely

Although the reception banquet lasted quite late the day before, and everyone except Zhong Qianyi also drank a lot, the business of the next day still couldn't be delayed.The work is still in full swing.

Not long after, Du Mingcan led a meeting with the bosses of several departments on behalf of products and planning.The main thing is to negotiate various aspects around the acquisition.From the initial value consumption, to product planning, resource reserve, marketing plan and capital chain, etc., detailed communication was carried out.

When it comes to work, Du Mingcan still has two brushes.

The communication meeting lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon, and Du Mingcan finally put the heads of various departments back for dinner.Those middle and high-level seniors were already hungry, their chests pressed against their backs. After hearing that Du Mingcan had finally coordinated the last question, they all dispersed and rushed to the restaurant downstairs.

Du Mingcan knew that everyone's lunch time was delayed due to his own reasons, so he consciously went to the restaurant earlier to help everyone order and pay.So only Zhong Qianyi and Shen Lu were left in the conference room, who were not in a hurry.

"Dining together?" Zhong Qianyi closed the laptop, tilted her head and said to Shen Lu.

"There is still work." Shen Lu shook his head, "There is a master waiting for me outside right now."

"It's past two o'clock, aren't you hungry?"

"Just take a bite or two later. Time is running out, I'm leaving."

Before Zhong Qianyi could react, Shen Lu had already disappeared into the meeting room.

Zhong Qianyi had no choice but to go downstairs slowly, thinking of bringing a copy back to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu likes a Hong Kong-style restaurant not far from the company the most, and has gone there with him so many times that even Zhong Qianyi himself fell in love with the taste there.

Not far away, Zhong Qianyi didn't drive, and planned to walk there directly.While walking at a leisurely pace, the mobile phone received a new WeChat reminder.

"Why didn't I see you come down to eat? Director Zhong." Du Mingcan's face flashed with big teeth, making people feel inexplicably good.

"I have no appetite, Director Du. The restaurant downstairs in the company is really tasteless." Zhong Qianyi replied with a smile.

"Well, how about... let's go eat something else?"

"Next time, you just came back soon, communicate more with the managers and directors of various departments, so as to facilitate work."

Du Mingcan returned a smiling face.

Can Zhong Qianyi tell him that he has already bought lunch?Why do I feel guilty?

But this feeling of guilty conscience only lasted for 5 minutes, and he suddenly had a feeling of being a villain.

But where is he the so-called "righteous master"?

In front of him was Song Haichuan's sleek Porsche, which was parked steadily at the entrance of the Hong Kong-style restaurant, attracting countless passers-by to stop and watch.In addition, it was not meal time, and there were not many vehicles at the entrance of the restaurant, so this high-end car was particularly conspicuous.

However, when he opened the door and walked into the restaurant, he found that no matter how conspicuous the sporty sports car was, it was not as conspicuous as the two people sitting by the window.

There seemed to be an invisible chasing light shining on the two of them, reflecting the darkness around them, and Zhong Qianyi was in this darkness, no one could see.

Probably out of fear of being recognized, Song Haichuan in a hoodie covered his head with a pair of big sunglasses on his face, with his back to the window.The package was so tight that his own mother probably had to distinguish him for a long time before recognizing him.Shen Lu was much more casual, sitting opposite him, sometimes smiling with a wrinkled face, heartless, sometimes frowning and rubbing his stomach, as if crying for hunger.

Two lines of libretto suddenly appeared in Zhong Qianyi's head, something like "one is the fairy flower of Langyuan, and the other is beautiful jade flawless".

Soon the food was brought up, Song Haichuan took off his sunglasses, stared at Shen Lu who was devouring before him, he didn't move his chopsticks, just looked at him affectionately.The tenderness in the eyes can make Bailian Steel instantly melt into molten steel.As for Shen Lu, he didn't look like an official, gentry and gentleman in ordinary times. He wiped out the food in front of him in a storm, and smiled brightly at the people in front of him from time to time, and then continued to lower his head to attack the city.He didn't even notice that the rice noodle soup was on his lips.

After a long while, Song Haichuan reached out and gently wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth for him. Shen Lu was accustomed to continuing to eliminate food without a single pause.

At this moment, Zhong Qianyi felt that the strap in his hand was extremely heavy.Heavy as if it wasn't carbs at all, but solid sand and gravel.Xu Shi was really overwhelmed. He walked out of the restaurant and walked quickly to the nearby trash can, throwing all the lunch boxes in his hand into it.

In the past, it was love, but if this love is not needed, it is garbage, burden, and dross.

In vain, I was worried that the man would not have time to eat and be hungry, but in fact, he was already accompanied by his beloved.His worry is really ridiculous.

He forgot that he himself hadn't eaten at all, but at this moment, he didn't feel hungry at all.Thinking that there was still a lot of work to be done in the company, he decided to go back home as soon as possible, it was better than watching the fairy couple abuse him here.

"Xiaoyi." Just two steps away, Zhong Qianyi seemed to hear Du Mingcan's deep voice.

"What a coincidence, I was thinking of going to the company to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Du Mingcan parked the car next to Zhong Qianyi, rolled down the window, and said to him excitedly.

"Du Mingcan?"

"Get in the car, I brought you delicious food."

Zhong Qianyi got into the co-pilot in a daze, and Du Mingcan took out a three-layer insulated lunch box from the back seat.

"Try it, I'm sure you'll whet your appetite." With that said, Du Mingcan gently opened the lunch box.

Braised prawns in oil, Sixi meatballs, stir-fried lettuce, plus a yam porridge with orange peel.The dishes are exquisite and the aroma is attractive.

"You... where did you get it?" Zhong Qianyi stared at the dish that Du Mingcan conjured up as if by magic, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"My aunt made it." Du Mingcan took out a pair of chopsticks from the side bag of the lunch box, "I thought you always eat food outside, and you must miss the taste of home, so I called and asked them to make it at home. Fortunately, I live nearby and drive It’s just right to go back and get it, and it’s still hot. Eat it while it’s hot, and try to see if it’s delicious.”

Zhong Qianyi looked at the delicious food in front of him, his stomach was empty for a long time, and he regained his vitality.

"Wow Du Mingcan, this...this is too delicious...you are so happy..."

Seeing Zhong Qianyi eating with gusto, Du Mingcan was also in a good mood.

"You like it? Then I will learn from my aunt, and I will bring it to you every day after I make it, okay?"

After hearing this, Zhong Qianyi stared sideways at Du Mingcan's eyes, and smiled for a while.

"Mingcan, thank you."

"Thank you for what I did..." Du Mingcan smiled, watching Zhong Qianyi eat mouthfuls, feeling inexplicably good: "I like you, isn't it like this when you like someone, and you are willing to do anything, so, you Don't thank me at all."

All the succinct and concise confessions that Zhong Qianyi has heard, the ones that don't twist around the corners and don't require much thinking, seem to come from Du Mingcan.

Straightforward, explicit, but best to understand.Zhong Qianyi doesn't need to go around the corner to understand or speculate, he already knows it by heart.

If someone likes you, even if you are separated by thousands of mountains and across thousands of rivers, he will work tirelessly to overcome all difficulties and obstacles to come to you, just to tell you how sincere he is.

If the guy never tells you, he doesn't like you enough, or doesn't like you at all.

For example, Shen Lu.

"So," Zhong Qianyi picked up another chopstick and put it in his mouth, "Thank you, Mingcan, thank you, for liking me."

At the same time, Shen Lu was sitting in front of Song Haichuan whose face was splashed with coffee, laughing.

"Song Haichuan, that little peach blossom of yours is very vigorous..." After stopping his laughter, Shen Lu shook his head and took a sip of the juice, "I'm sorry for your suit after this cup of coffee."

Song Haichuan could only shake his head helplessly.

When Shen Lu was in a meeting, he received a WeChat message from Song Haichuan asking for help, asking him to help block a section of peach blossoms that had already failed.

"What's the benefit of me doing such a wicked thing? Doing things for you Song Daxing, you can't be selfless."

"You can mention the conditions as you like."

"Okay, let's sign our company's spokesperson. I will set the price, three years. How about it? I wonder if you can be your own master?"

"make a deal."

Shen Lu was overjoyed, and didn't hear what the directors were talking about at the meeting. He waited for the meeting to end and hurried out. When he got out of the company, he found Song Haichuan's car parked downstairs with the windows rolled down. When he got down, the man was staring at the phone expressionlessly.

Shen Lu opened the co-pilot's door and sat in, rolled up the car window by the way, grabbed the hood of his sweater and put it on the man's head.

"Big star, please be careful when you go out, be careful that our company has become a training ground for your fans."

Song Haichuan listened to Shen Lu's teasing, but ignored him, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Well, just finished the meeting." Shen Lu nodded.

"Let's go eat something first." Song Haichuan started the car.

What I went to eat was Cantonese cuisine that Shen Lu liked very much.Regarding the preferences of the person in front of him, he claims to be in control.So he calmly picked up the menu and ordered dishes, all of which were Shen Lu's favorites.

After returning the menu to the waiter, Song Haichuan unhurriedly took out his mobile phone and texted the location to his peach blossom.

It's not a meal, the restaurant is not crowded, and the food will come soon.Song Haichuan thoughtfully scooped up a bowl of soup for Shen Lu and put it in front of him, signaling him to eat it quickly.

"Tell me, what's going on? How should I act in a while?" Shen Lu was really hungry, and asked Song Haichuan vaguely while eating.

"If we don't talk about acting, I'll just... just tell him that it's fine with someone like you." Song Haichuan seemed a little embarrassed, not at all like a calm star in normal times.

"Hey Song Haichuan, don't make such an expression, your expression will make me misunderstand that you like me."

"Maybe it's not a misunderstanding?" Song Haichuan smiled. He knew that no one could resist the lethality of this smile. "Eat slowly, no one will grab you. It's all on your mouth."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Shen Lu wipe off the sauce on his mouth.

"It's better not to miss me," Shen Lu smiled slightly, "We can be friends at best. There is someone in my heart."

Song Haichuan shrugged noncommittally and did not express his opinion.

Soon, Song Haichuan's peach blossoms came.

Shen Lu felt that calling her "Peach Blossom" was not an exaggeration at all.That person can really be called "the peach blossoms on the human face reflect the red".Willow leaves have curved eyebrows, almond eyes are wide open, cherry mouth is small, lips are red and teeth are white.Between raising hands and throwing feet, looking forward to life.

Song Haichuan didn't want such a stunner, what a waste of money.

Taohua was a little sullen at this moment, and her eyes were full of water vapor when she stared at Song Haichuan.

"Hai Chuan, I want to explain. What does the message this morning mean?"

"I'm sorry, Helen, I've said it very clearly in the text message, I don't want to say it a second time."

"Who is that person?" The woman named Helen asked unwillingly, "If I don't see that person today, I won't give up."

Song Haichuan stood up, and stood next to Shen Lu as if he was in the middle of his arms, "That's right, I'll introduce you formally."

That so-called "introduction" sounded like it had already been drafted, and it seemed like it was a boring scene in a vulgar TV series that Song Haichuan once starred in. In short, the lover will burst into tears after listening to it. .

"When I first met him, he was no different from ordinary people. He was just someone I happened to meet in this huge city. If we talk about the difference, he is better-looking, smarter, and makes people feel more comfortable. But as time goes by, Inexplicably, I feel that he is actually very different. There are too many people passing by around me every day. Pedestrians, traffic, even birds and beasts, the one who stays and talks to me is him, and he is the only one. Now, I am glad that the relationship between people is very complicated, and the relationship between each other is even more illusory. Going around, I met a lot, and I will miss more., But he is by my side, no matter how much I miss, even if It’s the whole world, and I no longer feel hesitant or afraid.”

After the long story, Song Haichuan suddenly turned around and stared at Shen Lu with rolling eyes, "Probably the whole world is not as good as him."

But Shen Lu was not the one he fell in love with, so he didn't shed a single tear, instead, he listened to Song Haichuan's somewhat nasty introduction with a blank expression, and goosebumps fell all over the floor.

In fact, he was just thinking in his heart, can he recite this paragraph and tell Zhong Qianyi later.Tell him, in fact, what Song Haichuan said, he also feels the same.

Helen finally understood that the cash cow in front of him was no longer his lover.

The "breakup" farce ended with a cup of coffee ruining a suit. The proud Helen walked out of the restaurant quickly on high heels, leaving behind Shen Lu who was stunned for a while and then laughed, and sat down again after a helpless expression. Song Haichuan.

Xu Shi watched a good show, Xu Shi was really hungry, so Shen Lu called the waiter to order some dishes.

Song Haichuan's depression of being splashed with coffee somehow disappeared without a trace in Shen Lu's smile.

"Shen Lu, to be honest, I really like you." Suddenly, Song Haichuan made up his mind and said.

"I'm also serious." Shen Lu looked up at Song Haichuan, "It's impossible for us."

All the possibilities in this world are held in the hands of that person named Zhong Qianyi.From then on, Shen Lu became an insulator that isolated the world for him, unable to transmit light and heat from any direction.Although Shen Lu listened to those gorgeous rhetoric that somewhat contained a sense of confession and was earth-shattering, he was blocked by the heart that isolated everything.

But Shen Lu was as happy as a sugarcane.

When I went to the company in the afternoon and saw Zhong Qianyi who was having a lively conversation with Du Mingcan, Shen Lu felt very sad, thinking that he had just rejected Song Haichuan who was good at everything because of that person, but when he turned around, that person was talking to his fans. A piece of joy and peace.

The double-skin milk that was brought to that person in his hand also looked very obtrusive at this time.

It happened that Zhong Qianyi also looked up and saw herself, so she could only knock on the door awkwardly and walked in.

"The double-skin milk I brought you for lunch..." Shen Lu said to Zhong Qianyi in a dark voice, then turned his head and said to Du Mingcan, "I didn't know Mingcan was there, so I brought a copy..."

"Oh, it's okay, I'm not hungry." Du Mingcan smiled and shook his head.

"I'm not hungry either." Zhong Qianyi turned away from him, with a bad tone. "I ate too much at noon, and I'm worried about indigestion if I eat again."

"Hey, Zhong Qianyi, you... you took the wrong medicine, and it was brought back for you with good intentions. What do you mean by that?"

"Thank you, Director Shen, for your kindness." Zhong Qianyi sneered, "From now on, you should stop 'kindness' in front of me. My life is cheap, and I really have no luck to accept your kindness."

"Zhong Qianyi, what's wrong with you? Do you want to quarrel?"

"I don't have time to quarrel." Zhong Qianyi tidied up the documents on the table, ignored Shen Lu, and turned to Du Mingcan, "Mingcan, let's go, go to my office and continue talking."

This sentence once again aroused Shen Lu's anger that had already burned to the top of his head.

Du Mingcan looked at the two people in front of him with an expression of confusion, trying to persuade him, but just as he was about to pull Zhong Qianyi's hand, Shen Lu pulled him to his side first, "Du Mingcan has nothing to do with you here, go away .”

"Shen Lu, what the hell are you talking about?" Zhong Qianyi was already holding his breath, but he couldn't let it go when he heard this.

"It's not been a day or two since I've been talking like this, Zhong Qianyi, you only care about what I say now." Shen Lu sneered.

"Shen Lu," Du Mingcan was also stunned for a moment, not angry, and continued to put on a smiling face, "I was talking to Xiaoyi today, but you came in out of nowhere. If you want to leave, you should go first, right?"

Zhong Qianyi broke away from Shen Lu's grip on her hand, and leaned closer to Du Mingcan's side, listening to him continue to challenge Shen Lu.

"Besides, Zhong Qianyi hasn't asked me to leave yet. Why do you let me go?" Du Mingcan took Zhong Qianyi's hand and pulled him to his side, "Who are you to him?"

The firm tone made Shen Lu feel defeated immediately.He turned his head and stopped looking at Du Mingcan, and turned to Zhong Qianyi, "Zhong Qianyi, do you want me to go?"

Shen Lu's hurt-like expression made Zhong Qianyi feel a little unbearable, but it was obvious that he was the one who was wronged.He lied to himself that he had work to do, but flirted with the rumored object blatantly.So for a moment, Zhong Qianyi was stunned, and after a while, she leaned towards Du Mingcan.

At that moment, Shen Lu suddenly felt that the two people who were clearly close at hand were far away from him right now.They are surrounded by themselves, and no swords, guns, swords or halberds from the outside world can break through the invisible iron wall of the outside world.

"Very good, Zhong Qianyi. Even if I'm full today, you can talk slowly. Goodbye!"
