You Liangchen bent over and sat beside Huo Zian.

Huo Zian's numb emotions started to fluctuate again after seeing You Liangchen.He was uncomfortable, wronged, puzzled, and angry, but he just asked You Liangchen angrily: "Where did you go?"

You Liangchen looked at him: "I'm going to take the exam. I drank too much and lay down all afternoon."

Huo Zian remembered that this morning was the sommelier's upgrade exam, "Did you drink too much for the exam?"

You Liangchen frowned and said: "Haimer is right, the wine for those candidates is too bad, I don't want to go back and take the exam for the second time. After the old man in the United States dragged me to drink, I went to accompany a few drinks, and ended up throwing myself Drink too much."

Huo Zian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You think you'll be allowed to pass if you drink with me? The exam is strict, and you can't even sleep with me."

You Liangchen pulled the corner of his mouth: "I passed."

"Passed?" Huo Zian was stunned for a moment, then laughed.It's just that the pain of this day has been burned into his flesh and blood, and this smile also looks sad. "Congratulations, Liangchen, the third level of sommelier is very difficult, there are only a dozen of them in China."

You Liangchen held Huo Zian's hand without saying a word.

Huo Zian's smile froze on his face.Wrapped in You Liangchen's warm hands, Huo Zian could no longer restrain his emotions, and said sullenly: "They chopped down the big locust tree."

"En." Yu Liangchen replied.Even if he is blind, he can still smell the strong green smell of the plants in the square, and the killing breath emanating from the broken branches.

You Liangchen's face was very calm, he raised his hand to touch Huo Zian's face, and asked softly, "Why are you injured?"

Huo Zian shook his head.

If he doesn't say anything, You Liangchen can also guess the outline of the matter.He put down his hands and said, "You've been sitting here all day, didn't you watch the news?"

Huo Zian raised his eyes and asked, "What news?"

You Liangchen took out his phone, opened the webpage, and handed it to Huo Zian.

News published by Michelin.

Huo Zian stared blankly at the first few lines, as if the words were extremely difficult to read.You Liangchen took the phone over and read the first paragraph of the news: At noon today, Michelin released the first Beijing Dining Guide, and a total of 84 restaurants received recommendations of different levels.The most eye-catching three stars were awarded to two restaurants this time, one is the old Cantonese restaurant Xiang Fu Lou, and the other is the Hutong French restaurant JeMeSens.

You Liangchen put down his phone and turned to look at Huo Zian.His emotionless eyes slowly bent downwards, and a gentle smile flowed out from the black and bright pupils, filling the gray-blue space.

He hugged Huo Zian's head and said with a smile, "Are you happy?"

Huo Zian nodded, paused, and nodded again. "Happy," he said with a smile while pillowing in You Liangchen's palm, "Very happy..."

The corners of his mouth were turned up, but the tears couldn't stop streaming down.

He didn't shed any tears from the blows, panic, grief, and physical injuries he suffered in two days, but this news was like the final light touch, and his defenses finally collapsed.

Huo Zian cried loudly in You Liangchen's palm.

He is really happy.He finally got three Michelin stars-although this is not the purpose of his restaurant, it is like a milestone, a landmark he has erected for himself.He finally ran there. During the period of countless hard work and sacrifices, and difficult choices, he finally ran there...

He felt happy, prickly, exhausting happiness.

Huo Zian's body was completely hollowed out. This year's hard work, loss and gain were all combined in this way, on this ancient ruin...

He said softly: "We won three Michelin stars, but our restaurant is gone."

"When it's gone, it's gone."

"The restaurant is gone, and the big locust tree is gone."

"Ah."

"I came here because my shoes were hanging from the tree, I thought it was meant to be."

"Destined? The shoes have been thrown away." You Liangchen smiled, and touched Huo Zian's wet face: "Besides, it doesn't matter if you don't have the shoes. Don't you still have feet and can walk?"

Huo Zian looked into You Liangchen's eyes, and his mind became clear all of a sudden.yes.It turned out that he had mistaken the cause and effect all along. It wasn't the shoes that led him to the alley, but he stepped in and saw the shoes on the tree.If you don't walk into the alley, nothing will happen, right?

Where is the oracle?It was nothing more than that the threads of fate interweaved countless results, and he stumbled across one of them, and made up a meaning he wanted from it.These meanings have long been unimportant to him. He has already found inner stability. Whether it is the alley, the big tree or the shoes, the metaphors that played a role when he was confused are like fireflies on the way, becoming more and more blurred , getting dimmer...he has gone far.

He couldn't stop the big tree from falling, but he should be thankful that he was still there, and he could continue to move forward.

Huo Zian sat up straight and looked at the riddled square. It was strange that he could find the big locust tree with his eyes closed, but now he couldn't recall the location of the big tree.The sky was getting darker, and the messy square was full of gray and black debris and garbage.You Liangchen stood up, crossed the cordon, went to a pile of branches and searched for a long time, and pulled out four or five boards.It was the remnant of the collapsed wooden platform, which was thrown on the ground by the workers.

You Liangchen shouted at him: "This board is quite strong and still usable, go back and build a shed for Lao Tie?"

The silhouette of You Liangchen is embedded in the last sunset glow.The sky is coming to an end.

Huo Zian didn't answer, but closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and mourned silently.

Huo Zian was ill for a week, with a severe cold and inflammation of the tonsils, even his voice was hoarse.

This is not a bad thing. The overwhelming media requests for interviews were all shunned by him because of physical discomfort; various industry cooperation, brand promotion, and friends' celebrations were all pushed to the back by him, and he was able to handle the restaurant quietly. aftermath.

JeMeSens is the first three-star French restaurant in Beijing, but on the fourth day after receiving this honor, the restaurant announced its closure.This is the shortest-lived three-star restaurant in history. As soon as the news came out, the entire catering industry exploded.Countless funds came to the door, willing to accept restaurants in various ways, or just make part of the investment.All of this was rejected by Huo Zian.

He doesn't have that much energy to deal with the outside world. Apart from recovering from his illness, his first priority is to clean up the mess in the small restaurant.

On a fine morning, You Liangchen finally sat down with You Dacheng, face to face, and reasoned with the facts.The two chatted for half an hour, during which Dacheng kept his face dark.He smashed the restaurant in a rage, not without guilt, but at least all his emotions were vented, and he could restrain his unhappiness and listen to You Liangchen's words.

He couldn't agree.What happened to the two men living together?A decent person can't do that.

He also can't deceive himself like Aunt Kong, lying to himself that after a few years, the two of them will have enough fun and they will return to the right track of life.In his place, the slightest nonsense is intolerable, so it is not acceptable to say that they are together—sneak together.

In the end, You Liangchen fully understood his father's thoughts, and knowing that he couldn't force it, he went back to discuss countermeasures with Huo Zian.

"My dad didn't say he wanted to drive you away, or if we delay it for a while, he might want to leave after a while."

Huo Zian just shook his head, "Now my uncle hides away when he sees me. If I want to stay here, he must be unhappy. He is different from us, he has no other place to go when he is unhappy, so he can only bear it by himself. Do you think it's appropriate for me to prod him here?"

"Not suitable."

"That's right!" The two smiled wryly at each other.

They had already made psychological preparations, and it was expected that Dacheng would not agree.You Liangchen: "Then pull it down. Are you afraid you can't find a place to open a restaurant?" There are too many people looking for cooperation with Huo Zian these days. There are many hotels, clubs, and high-end real estate projects in the capital. Find a way to contact him, as long as he wants, he can start anew at any time.

But Huo Zian lacked interest, not even willing to discuss.

Huo Zian: "There are many choices now, but I have other ideas."

"Ok?"

Huo Zian told him.

Without even thinking about it, You Liangchen agreed immediately.Huo Zian asked: "Do you really think it's okay? After making this decision, we can't say what will happen in the future."

"I just want to know one thing, do you need a sommelier?"

Huo Zian smiled: "Of course, Mr. Yu Liangchen, a sommelier of your level is rushing to ask for it outside. Since we have worked together for a year, it is considered a pleasant cooperation. Can you consider me first?"

You Liangchen stretched out his hand: "Success!"

"Happy." The two shook hands.

With all his strength, You Liangchen pulled Huo Zi'an in front of him, "Then pay one year's remuneration in advance."

Huo Zian leaned close to his face, and said softly: "You are too dark. Hey, you guys are too smart in your calculations. Aunt Kong rented my house and asked me to give a one-year deposit - this is you Home training?"

You Liangchen put his arms around Zian's waist: "Stop talking nonsense, will you give it?"

"How can I have any money?" Zian whispered in You Liangchen's ear, exhaling warm breath, "I only have one debt."

Zian is not recovering from a cold, his voice is hoarse, and his nasal voice has become more severe. These words penetrated into You Liangchen's ears softly, stirring up the fire in his whole body, and he said viciously: "Then use your body to pay it back."

He pushed Huo Zian into the kitchen and slammed the door.On the light blue wall tiles, Huo Zian leaned lazily on it, his eyes were always watery due to the cold, Yu Liangchen couldn't help himself, and licked Zi'an's crimson lips.

Zian pushed him away: "Go to the room. Anyone can come in the kitchen."

"When you were doing it with Haimo, why didn't you think that anyone could come in?"

Huo Zian remembered that one time he drank too much and didn't control himself, so he had a meal with Haimo in the kitchen.Laughing: "How do you know?"

You Liangchen didn't answer, but stared at Zi'an with fiery eyes.The first time he realized his desire for Zi'an was because he heard Zi'an and Haimo lingering in the kitchen, after that, this scene would often appear in his sexual fantasies...

It was not easy for him to catch this opportunity, and he would not let Huo Zian go anyway.

---------------

Another note about Michelin, Michelin is awarded to the restaurant, and the restaurant will be invalid without this title. However, everyone knows that the kitchen of the restaurant is built by the chef. The chef who helped the restaurant win three stars will greatly increase his reputation and social value. The leap, the three-star halo will follow for a lifetime.

Having said that, Michelin is just a selection. As Zian thought, it is a milestone, telling him how far he has run, but he still has to cross it in the end; to become a world-class chef, he must continue to have creative things. .
