After a lot of nonsense in the room, when a group of people sat together to play werewolves in the afternoon, every time it was Tao Ran's turn to speak, Chang Zheng felt a little unnatural.Looking at his mouth opening and closing when he was talking, and thinking about what he did to his lips just now, he felt that his old face must still not be thick enough, otherwise how could it burn in minutes.

This kind of game must keep a few people with brains and familiarity with the rules on the field, so that they can continue to play in the second half.But if you play too well, it is easy to be killed at the beginning. After all, it is too dangerous for the Wolves to keep a strong opponent.In the round that started after five o'clock, Chang Zheng and Tao Ran "died" in the middle of the round.

Taking advantage of the "darkness" time, everyone who was still playing with their eyes closed, Tao Ran sent a message to Chang Zheng, saying to go out first and go out for dinner.Chang Zheng went out with his mobile phone, walked along the path for a while, and found Tao Ran who came out first, standing with his back facing him among the swaying green bamboos, with his hands in his pockets, quietly looking at the mountains in the distance. I don't know what I was thinking.

Chang Zheng walked over and stood beside him, and stayed with him for a while, only to see that he seemed to wake up suddenly, and smiled gently to himself: "Why did you come? I told you to go away a long time ago."

"Just as I was about to come out, a kid who 'died' early insisted on turning over my cards to see who I am."

"I'll take a look first, are you a witch?"

Chang Zheng was familiar with the way, and led him to the other end of the bamboo forest: "What do you think?"

"I guess you are not. The witch in this game should be a cowardly child who doesn't know how to play. You rushed out to block the knife. The witch's poison was used on me, and the profit from poisoning me on the night I 'died' was not good. Big, to be able to play like this, I don’t think it’s your style.”

It's wonderful to have someone who understands me. Chang Zheng lowered his eyebrows with a smile: "Whether I'm a witch or not, you must be a wolf anyway. You must have told your wolf companions, guess I'm not a witch." , then it was me who 'killed' in the same way, it seems that your judgment is useless."

Tao Ran looked indifferent: "It's good if I persuade you for a while. They are afraid of you in their hearts, and they dare not keep you alive even if they waste a knife. Your speech is too provocative, and everyone in the audience will believe whatever you say. I I don’t bother to care about it, it’s not good to finish it early and let’s slip away earlier.”

Chang Zheng opened his big eyes pretending to be innocent, and began to ask knowingly: "Why do you want me to go out to eat alone? Does Manager Tao have any plans for me? This company is terrible..."

Tao Ran turned around and glared at him.There was everything from reproach to nostalgia in this look, Chang Zheng understood it, and immediately stopped talking.

When they had walked far enough, left the resort through the small gate, and walked into the small town on the mountainside gradually lit up with thousands of lights, Tao Ran seemed to finally let out a breath.

He slowed down, moved closer to Chang Zheng, and asked him with a low smile, "Tell me the truth, how much do you hate garlic?"

"...Oh, you've seen it all."

Chang Zheng's distaste for garlic has reached the point where he has to pick out all the minced garlic even in cold cucumbers, and smell it carefully, it may not be palatable.The chef at the resort probably didn't fit in with him, he loved to use garlic especially, and he added some to every stir-fried vegetable, which made Chang Zheng stumbling through his lunch, and Tao Ran noticed it all.Reminiscent of cooking at home a few times before, Chang Zheng only put down some pressed garlic cloves when he had no choice but to fry the internal organs, and he would never chop it up. Have this question.

"So I want to ask you to come out to eat. Let's find a small restaurant and make it clear that we can leave it without garlic."

The words were ordinary, and the tone was also ordinary, but Chang Zheng was silent for a long time because of this.No one has ever treated him like this, warm soup and warm water, meticulous.

There were not many diners in the small restaurant. They found a table and sat down by themselves. The shopkeeper came out to greet him after a while, and said with a smile that he was really embarrassed. He was eating with his family in the back just now, but he didn't notice that there was another person coming in front of him.

"That's why we bothered you. I'm sorry. Let's not order food, shall we? Look at what else is there, stir-fry a few dishes, and bring us... two cans of beer?"

Chang Zheng said the last few words while looking at Tao Ran. Tao Ran hesitated: "Do you want to drink? I just drank it at noon, and I feel a little tired."

The shopkeeper interrupted with a smile: "I made rice wine at home, do you want to try it?"

It was obviously for business, but she actually felt like visiting. Tao Ran readily responded, "Okay, then rice wine. By the way, don't put garlic in the dishes. If you really want to put it, don't put minced garlic, thank you."

After a while, the food was set up and the wine was served. The storekeeper told him that he had something to do, and then shrank back.The back kitchen seems to be connected with their home. Behind the simple curtain sewed with cotton cloth, there is vaguely the sound of a little girl watching cartoons, and the family enjoys themselves happily.They sat at the table, listening to the bursts of laughter coming from inside, they really tasted Ning Xin's home-cooked food.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too good and the smile was too warm, Chang Zheng had a thought, and picked up a topic that he hadn't even thought of talking about.

"I have something to tell you...you can't laugh at me, or I will hold grudges."

Tao Ran was concentrating on taking a sip of wine, and couldn't help smiling when he heard the words: "Tell me, I'm listening."

Chang Zheng took a deep breath, but he didn't dare to look at him. He just slowly fiddled with a few bracken in the bowl with the tip of his chopsticks, and said in a low and slow sentence: "You... are my second man. friend."

"Well, the first one is Wu Yueyin's younger brother, I guessed it."

Chang Zheng seemed overwhelmed, and nodded after a long while: "Yes. I and him...all the experiences were very unpleasant, and at the end, I felt very tired. After that, I didn't think about it for several years until I met you. .”

Since this difficult dialogue was chosen by the parties involved, it must be necessary.Out of respect for the past time itself, Tao Ran looked at him seriously, without saying a word, just waiting for him to speak further.

"From now on, I don't want to bother anymore."

It seemed to be a sigh, but also a promise, but Tao Ran miraculously understood the meaning behind the words, and his heart was shaken for a moment, and he didn't know what kind of words he could answer to be worthy of the deep affection he held in front of him.

What Chang Zheng meant was that he was the end point he identified.

"Well, I..." The cup was not big, and I hadn't drank a few cups, and somehow it got on my face. Tao Ran paused, and pressed his inexplicable enthusiasm: "I see, I will treat you well."

The only other table of guests left quickly, and the two of them were left with half the table of hot dishes, pouring their own drinks.No one else was around, and with a bit of alcohol, it was rare for Chang Zheng to be so relaxed outside. He tilted his head against the wall in a carefree manner, with a smile on his lips, and just looked at Tao Ran quietly.

Yushan will fall, but that's all.

The relationship has changed, the way of getting along has changed, but they are still bosom friends.Meeting such a relationship at this age is considered a precious experience. Tao Ran naturally wanted to share some purely personal feelings with this special "friend" in front of him.

"In recent days, do you feel... a little unreal?"

Chang Zheng immediately agreed: "Yes, you are better than I imagined, too good to be true."

"Oh, I'm serious with you, don't interrupt. You see us like this, you don't ask me, I don't ask you, then..."

It was impossible to say this clearly, and Chang Zheng already understood after hearing this.None of them have ever experienced such a smooth relationship. The lovers are mature, independent, stable and reliable. Neither of them lacks anything, and they are both willing to give.The adult world has already made them suspicious. They always feel that everything goes smoothly, so they must be wary of any changes.Tao Ran was probably afraid.

"People are rolling around in the world, since there are all kinds of troubles that they should have, then once in a while, if you have a good life, you should be happy and happy. Thanks to you, I have been very happy and content recently."

Tao Ran smiled at him innocently: "I understand what you mean. You and I are basically consistent people. If necessary, I am willing to make some changes for you, but if the situation is reversed... I will For you, it is a very uncomfortable thing for the balance to be broken."

If you really put a person at ease, you will unconsciously think more and more about him.This guy who always claims how selfish he is is actually more thoughtful than anyone else, and his thoughtfulness is also very heartwarming.

"Then if I say, I think so too, can you relax?"

Tao Ran picked up the small wine jar, refilled another glass for himself and Chang Zheng, and sighed somewhat disappointedly: "I am so grateful... Do you understand, even I don't know if I'm worth it, but now... ..."

As if he had already guessed what he was going to say, Chang Zheng's eyes and brows were full of spirits: "What now?"

Originally, he had a good appearance, but now he was full of affection, which made his appearance even more dazzling.It was almost a foul for Chang Zheng to laugh like this. Tao Ran glanced at the rascal, and quickly withdrew his gaze: "Do you still remember the time when you called me in the middle of the night, and you told me, if I don't believe in myself, can you believe me?" You once."

"of course I remember."

"..." After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to tell the truth: "I still find it incredible that you are so unreasonable, how could I really believe it."

In fact, both of them knew very well that Chang Zheng's sharp words on the phone at that time used retreat as an advance to the extreme.It is not possible to have such a wonderful mind attack technique when dealing with customers, but to actually use it on a person who has been tempted by him for a long time, it is indeed blatantly cheating.

The years are sometimes like a blade, sometimes like light, but at this moment, they bow their heads gently, like a smooth velvet, wrapping people's hearts properly.Tao Ran's eyes are full of helplessness and pampering at the moment, which makes him feel strangely tolerated and encouraged.

The world has been against him for many years, this time when he flipped his clenched fist, opened his palm, and waited with bated breath... Finally he got a rose, which bloomed in the dim light.

I swear to time, I am willing to treat you with all my heart, until you are lost in the end of the world.

Or maybe, we have this luck, and we will be forgotten by bad luck in the end, so there is no need to separate.
