What Pan Liwen thought was actually very simple.Those who go first in the store will definitely consume Xia Mu's firepower, so that when he arrives later, Xia Mu may lose his anger, and of course he will suffer less.It's just that he didn't expect that Xia Mu would come up with such a bad move and do the opposite.

What's even more hateful is that the gang of brothers who agreed to share weal and woe last night actually worked together to frame him.

Pan Liwen felt that he probably would never forget the taste of that lemon juice in his life.It was so sour that he seemed to be melting away.

In the end, of course, Pan Liwen didn't drink all the lemon juice.But Xia Mu's goal has been achieved.

Pan Liwen even had a shadow on lemon juice, he didn't even want to touch it, and he didn't want to drink it again in his life.

Xia Mu came back from the trip, and the speculation about the sudden change of mood stopped here, and no one mentioned it again.

The cafe works as usual, nothing to rave about.Except, Liang You suddenly appeared uncharacteristically, frequently appearing in Xia Mu's field of vision, chatting with him, or meeting him by chance.Liang You's acting is clumsy and deliberate, which is the main reason why Xia Mu can see through it at a glance.His intuition at this time was suddenly extremely accurate, and Liang You's slight leak was enough for Xia Mu to understand her mind.

This made Xia Mu quite puzzled, he was always very keen and intuitive to other people, let alone hesitant, why he changed to Yao Shun, he couldn't figure out what was going on in his heart.Or, in fact, he has always been clear, but subconsciously chose to escape?

Xia Mu couldn't figure it out.Only Yao Shun could make him feel so confused and troubled, as well as out of his mind.

"Xiamu? Xiamu?" Xiamu was still thinking, when Liang You's eager voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

Xia Mu came back to his senses, restrained his emotions, and asked Liang You, "Is there something wrong?"

Liang You lowered her head slightly, did not look at Xia Mu, and plucked up her courage in embarrassment: "Can you go by yourself? Will it be boring on the road? Otherwise... I will go with you? Didn't the store manager say to let you go?" Can someone go with me?"

This time, Xia Mu went to the coffee bean supplier to check the quality of the coffee beans routinely, discuss some matters by the way, and choose some other coffee beans.This can only be done by Xia Mu, and the supplier is not far away, and if it is fast, they can go back and forth within the same day.The store manager did say that Xia Mu could bring someone to help, but Xia Mu didn't think it was necessary and planned to go alone.

Xia Mu looked at Liang You, thinking about how to politely reject Liang You.Xia Mu has no bad feelings for Liang You, and has even taken care of her all the time.Liang You is very filial and sensible, very diligent in doing things, and gets along very harmoniously with colleagues in the store.

She came from the countryside, and her family's situation was very bad.Her father was injured at work and could only lie at home to recuperate. There were younger sisters and younger brothers at home. After finishing junior high school, she had to drop out of school to earn money.A family of five, including grandparents, all rely on her and her mother to make money.

In a big city like the capital, with no education or skills, what kind of work can you find, other than doing some dirty and tiring work.

Xia Mu felt sorry for Liang You, Liang You had always been very quiet and didn't like to talk too much, and she still had a sense of inferiority.She was able to muster up the courage to say this request, and she didn't know how much courage she had mustered behind her back.Xia Mu didn't dare to answer easily, he had to think carefully, so as not to hurt Liang You's self-esteem, and make her dare not muster up the courage to do similar things again.

"Thank you." Xia Mu looked at Liang You, and said sincerely: "Thank you, but I can do it myself, even if it is boring, I can overcome it." He paused as he spoke, as if to say this As if he didn't talk about it, he said very solemnly: "Also, I'm sorry."

Liang You suddenly raised his head, apparently understanding Xia Mu's implication.Her face turned pale for a moment, and she quickly became flustered again. She forced a smile and said, "No...it's nothing, it's not a big deal. It's me...I interrupted."

Xia Mu laughed: "Do you still want to rob me of this kind of thing?"

Affected by Xia Mu's emotions, Liang You also laughed, and said cautiously: "Then, can we still be friends?"

"Of course."

Liang You pursed her lips and smiled, the corners of her lips raised, she looked especially peaceful and moving at that moment: "Then I'll go in first, there are still many things to do." Now that she made it clear, she didn't want to delay Xia Mu any longer .

Xia Mu nodded and watched Liang You walk in.

The stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground, but there was also some inexplicable discomfort.

The coffee bean suppliers of Met Cafe are fixed. There are three main ones, and the cooperation with each other is very tacit and pleasant. Besides, there are some scattered suppliers.The cafe has very strict requirements on the quality of coffee beans, and the selected coffee is all specialty coffee. Although the cost is a bit higher, it has further improved the quality and class of this chain cafe.

Xia Mo went there this time, mainly to make some changes to the roasting time and method of a certain type of coffee beans, and to see if other types of coffee beans can better improve the taste of coffee, or make it easier to blend some new coffees.

At present, the promotion effect of the new coffee is very good. Both Xia Mu and the store manager believe that it is necessary to do better in this area.

Xia Mu set off in the morning and arrived at the destination at noon.He finished his lunch before contacting the person in charge of the supplier.Then, under the leadership of the person in charge, he carefully inspected other types of coffee beans.Xia Mu has been studying the roasting of coffee beans for a while. Ordinary roasting is very simple, but roasting is like coffee. The more you study, the more profound it becomes. He happened to have a lot of questions about roasting and wanted to ask someone for advice.

Xia Mu chatted with the baker, and the time passed quickly.In a blink of an eye, it gradually became dark, and the temperature also dropped.Xia Mu bid farewell to the master. The master and Xia Mu chatted very well, and Xia Mu was still on the client's side, so he insisted on keeping him for dinner, saying that he could continue to discuss baking issues.

Xia Mu still couldn't help but politely decline.He is not suitable for socializing, and he doesn't like the culture of drinking tables, which is boring.Let me say that I will ask for more serious advice on baking another day, and I hope that the baker can give me some advice.

The master knew in his heart that Xia Mu didn't know much less than him, and it was almost the same to discuss with each other, and it was too heavy to say to teach.I can't even say that I can't afford to teach you. If Xia Mu has any questions, just ask him at any time. It can be regarded as a process of learning from each other.

When Xia Mu returned, the street lights outside the window had been turned on one after another.Passing through Yeyu Bar, Xia Mu looked at this bar with a deep memory but hadn't been in for a long time, and suddenly wanted to go in again.Without much hesitation, Xia Mu parked the car on the side of the road and walked straight towards the bar.

Before entering the bar, Xia Mu was suddenly stopped.

"Xiamu?" The man was a little surprised, but also a little unsure. He walked up to Xia Mu quickly, and when he saw Xia Mu clearly, he smiled and said, "It's really you, I thought I had misidentified the person."

Looking at the white and handsome man in front of him, dressed in fashionable clothes, Xia Mu struggled to recognize the original appearance from that face, and asked hesitantly, "Tang Kui?"

Tang Kui nodded with a smile.

"You're in the capital?" Xia Mu looked at Tang Kui, "I almost didn't recognize him."

Tang Kui was Xia Mu's high school classmate. Xia Mu had some contacts with him, but they were just ordinary classmates, and they basically didn't contact him after high school.Xia Mu remembered that Tang Kui was a little dark and fat before, not to mention not knowing how to dress up, and he was completely different from now.Although the current Tang Kui always gave Xia Mu a somewhat awkward feeling, he was still very dazzling overall, a feeling that was hard to ignore.

Tang Kui didn't want to hide it, so he relieved Xia Mu's doubts and said, "Do you think I have changed a lot? I lost weight before and almost died. And this face, I spent a lot of money on it. But you still haven't changed, you're the same as before, so I recognize it just by looking at your back."

Xia Mu realized instantly, no wonder Tang Kui changed so much.He pointed at Yeyu Bar: "Did you come here alone?"

"I don't go to Yeyu to play." Tang Kui pointed to the lighted car parked on the side of the road: "My friend is still waiting for me, just came over to say hello when I saw you. What about you? Do you want to have an affair or borrow a drink?" Soothe your worries?"

Xia Mu laughed: "Neither of them, can't you drop by? Where are you going to play?"

Tang Kui said mysteriously, "Out of balance."

"Bar or?"

"Bar. Haven't you heard of it?"

Xia Mu shook his head and said casually: "It's a bar anyway, it doesn't matter. Is it convenient for your friend? If it is convenient, let's have a drink and chat together?"

Tang Kui suddenly laughed, and reconfirmed mysteriously: "Do you really want to go?"

"Nonsense. What's the point?"

"Then let's go, my friend is very convenient, just don't regret it." Tang Kui said, turned and walked towards the side of the road.

Xia Mu thought about Tang Kui's words, and it was a little confusing, but it is better to have someone to accompany him when drinking, so he said: "I'll drive in the past, you go first, and I will follow."

Tang Kui said hello, before leaving, he also stimulated Xia Mu, telling him not to be afraid and run away suddenly.

Xia Mu followed Tang Kui and drove along the road to another bar along the street.It was a very simple-looking bar with the English name "Unbalanced" engraved on it. Most of the people who came in and out were men, and some were leaning on the railing with wine glasses, looking out at the scenery outside.

Xia Mu parked the car, walked towards Tang Kui, and saw the friend Tang Kui had mentioned before.

"Cheng Jinpeng." The man stretched out his hand to Xia Mu, looking at Xia Mu's eyes with a sense of aggression that made Xia Mu uncomfortable.

Xia Mu held Cheng Jinpeng's hand politely: "Xia Mu."

"Nice to meet you." Cheng Jinpeng still looked at Xia Mu.

Xia Mu avoided Cheng Jinpeng's gaze and smiled, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Tang Kui came over and took Cheng Jinpeng's hand, and said with a smile, "Can you be more reserved, don't scare my friend."

Reminded by Tang Kui, Cheng Jinpeng smiled apologetically at Xia Mu and said, "Sorry, let's go in first."

Tang Kui took Cheng Jinpeng's hand, and quickly let go. He went into the bar next to Xia Mu, looked at Cheng Jinpeng's back and said, "He looks pretty good, right? The future boss of Cheng's company has a good family background. It's a pity, he is not my type, and I am not his type, so we can only be friends." Tang Kui shrugged, with a regretful expression.

When Tang Kui spoke, Xia Mu looked at Cheng Jinpeng seriously.Cheng Jinpeng wore glasses, a suit and leather shoes, and felt very calm and dignified.The appearance is indeed not bad, revealing an impeccable gentleman's demeanor.

The tone in the bar is very dark, and the deafening rock music hits your face like the waves of the sea.Brilliant lights flickered, illuminating the interior of the bar.The surrounding environment is no different from other bars, except that the people inside are mostly men.The bar was filled with male hormones, and Xia Mu even saw some people kissing recklessly.Combined with what Tang Kui said before, Xia Mu could easily guess what kind of bar this was.

Xia Mu felt both novel and flustered.His eyes flickered uncontrollably, looking at the man in black sitting at the bar drinking alone, at the people swaying wildly on the dance floor, at the people kissing wantonly in the dark.His eyes met many eyes, some were interested, some raised a glass to him, and some even teased him.

Of course, these are all men without exception.

Xia Mu's head was in a mess, and he was suddenly at a loss.At this moment, his hand was suddenly pulled by someone.

"Xia Mu, this way." Cheng Jinpeng approached Xia Mu and said.

Xia Mu was very uncomfortable, so she withdrew her hand and glanced at Cheng Jinpeng: "Thank you."

Cheng Jinpeng looked at Xia Mu with a smile, said "it's okay", then pointed to Tang Kui, indicating that he should go that way.

Tang Kui was obviously a regular customer here, and he greeted people all the way, and Xia Mu even saw that Tang Kui's butt was touched by someone.Xia Mu felt very uncomfortable, but Tang Kui was fine, still talking and laughing, as if this was just a very common thing, and there was no need to make a fuss at all.

The three of them sat in the corner, and the wine was quickly brought over.

Tang Kui said: "I don't know what you like to drink. I ordered three glasses of whiskey first, and you can drink whatever you want. It's rare to see you again. You haven't run away yet. Today I treat you."

"Is it necessary for me to run away?" Xia Mu reacted calmly.

"It's not necessary." Tang Kui said contemptuously, "But there are always some antiques."

"I'm still very open-minded. But I've passed by here before, and I didn't expect such a bar to exist."

Cheng Jinpeng smiled and said, "First time here?"

"Ah."

"Then have fun. There are still many differences between this place and ordinary bars."

Xia Mu raised her eyebrows: "For example?"

Cheng Jinpeng pointed to the corridor where he entered the door: "Did you see the lights there? When you go there, it shows that you want to have a relationship or a one-night stand. Most of them are one-night stands. There is also a room over there, where you can enjoy enough flesh Of course, you still have to wear pants."

Xia Mu looked at the places Cheng Jinpeng mentioned, but thought in his heart that he must stay away from these places.

He had expected it before, the most important thing to be able to enter here was to figure out what was in his heart.This is a rare opportunity for Xia Mu to find out through Tang Kui whether he has thoughts about men, or just has special thoughts about Yao Shun.

There are enough men here, but Xia Mu only feels depressed and irritable. He hates being approached by others, and he has no feeling for other men's teasing invitations.

It was a completely different feeling from Yao Shun's. Yao Shun's gaze and touch would make Xia Mu's heart beat faster.

Xia Mu had never found that feeling in anyone else.

In just a short moment of entering the bar, Xia Mu understood his thoughts, and the fog that shrouded his mind dispelled.

He likes Yao Shun.

It's not that he likes men, he just likes Yao Shun.

Xia Mu and Tang Kui then chatted about the past and the recent situation. Xia Mu learned that Tang Kui is a professional anchor. He seems to be very famous and has attended some large-scale events.This can explain Tang Kui's extraordinary communication skills.Xia Mu has little contact with live broadcasting, so he doesn't know much about it. According to Tang Kui, live broadcasting is very profitable.He even used this to praise Xia Mu, saying that with Xia Mu's face, he has an inherent advantage in doing live broadcasts. He also said that if Xia Mu wants to do live broadcasts, he should contact him. After all, everyone is a classmate, and he will never hide his secrets.

When Xia Mu proposed to go first, Cheng Jinpeng obviously wanted to keep him, saying that it was not safe for Xia Mu to drink, and he would find someone to take Xia Mu home later.Xia Mu thought it was even more unsafe for you to find someone to take me off, so he said a few words to Tang Kui and insisted on leaving.

Tang Kui asked the bar to contact Xia Mu as a substitute driver. He was worried about Xia Mu and wanted to send him out of the bar.

Xia Mu felt that Tang Kui was too fussy: "It's just a few steps, what can happen to me."

"If I bring you in, I must ensure your safety. Besides, you are really attractive."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that men like you very much."

Xia Mu asked in surprise, "What type am I?"

Tang Kui looked at Xia Mu, and said with a smile: "Sunshine, beautiful, and clean. Cheng Jinpeng is fascinated by you. He is very picky. If it weren't for your refusal, the person who came to strike up a conversation tonight must be Countless." Tang Kui whispered, "Xia Mu, don't underestimate your own charm."

Xia Mu was just about to speak with a smile, when he was suddenly stared at obscenely by a fat man with a wretched face.

He frowned slightly, but before he could react, he suddenly felt his ass being pinched by a hand.

Xia Mu reacted very quickly this time, and the anger of being humiliated came to his mind in an instant. He didn't even think about it, he already instinctively clenched his fists, turned around and punched the man to the ground.
