Tentative

Because of the addition of strangers, the four of them were a little embarrassed to speak again.Guan Tian just lit a cigarette, and didn't intend to introduce the man's identity to them.The meal of three people suddenly turned into four people, and Qu Zhe was the first to break the silence: "I'll go to the table and chopsticks again."

Guan Tian said in a deep voice, "Yes."

She probably couldn't bear this dull atmosphere, and now that Qu Zhe started, she said to the man: "This is my two younger brothers, Ah Zhao and Ah Zhe."

Jiang Yuzhao nodded: "Hello."

"Hello."

Qu Zhe put the bowl and chopsticks in front of the man, took a new can of beer, opened it carefully, and handed it to the man.

Logically speaking, Guan Tian should be introducing the identity of this man to them, but she never spoke, just smoking a cigarette.The man seemed to have expected such a reaction from her, so he took out his business card from his pocket and introduced himself very politely: "Hello, my name is Chu."

Qu Zhe and Jiang Yuzhao each took a business card and looked down at the words on it in unison.

Chu Zhan, CEO of Feast Entertainment Group.

Paired with his suit, which can be seen to be very expensive at a glance, even Qu Zhe, who doesn't know anything about these big groups, can understand that there is a powerful person in front of him.

"Hey, Ah Zhan, drink." Guan Tian didn't want to continue on the topic of self-introduction, so he picked up the beer and gestured to him.

To be honest, Chu Zhan was dressed like this, and even sat in a very dignified manner. It was a bit contrary to the beer cans.Jiang Yuzhao raised the beer, Qu Zhe hurriedly followed, and the four of them clinked glasses.

The program on the TV was very lively, Guan Tian seemed to have packed up his emotions, stretched out his hand to scoop up some slices of hot beef in the pot, and put them into Chu Zhan's bowl: "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." Although he said so, he still picked up the chopsticks and put the meat into his mouth gracefully.

After chewing twice, he nodded and said, "It's delicious."

"It's delicious, you can eat more."

The two people here chatted, and Jiang Yuzhao was too embarrassed to interrupt, so he caught Qu Zhe and chatted without saying a word: "Hey, have you been here all these years?"

"I just came here. I was in Qiao City a few years ago."

"Hiding at home?"

"I found a job in the outskirts of the city." Qu Zhe said, "And you, you are studying now."

"Hey, it's not that you don't know about my family's situation. My dad donated another laboratory building to S University."

"Very good, S University is also a good school."

"I originally wanted to go to University A," Jiang Yuzhao said, "but University A doesn't accept the laboratory building."

As he spoke, he laughed mockingly. Of course, this was not directed at Qu Zhe, but at his father.

"It's all good, it's good to go to college."

"It's just dawdling." Jiang Yuzhao said, and asked while serving him food, "Why did you come here?"

"……happen."

"Oh, that's it." Jiang Yuzhao knew he didn't want to say it, and didn't bother to ask.

"Where's your dog?"

"At home, my sister's place is too small, I'm afraid it will make a fuss."

"Well, it's still good." Qu Zhe said, finished the food in the bowl, put down his chopsticks, and took out a cigarette to light himself.

A meal quickly ended in chat.After eating, Guan Tianlai said nothing on the sofa and was unwilling to clean up. Jiang Yuzhao and her were indeed siblings. He ate so much that his stomach bulged, and he played with her phone while lying down with her.Qu Zhe took the initiative to clean up—he was usually the one who did the cleaning in the store, and if he didn't help with this, he would really be living for nothing.

But what Qu Zhe didn't expect was that Chu Zhan took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves seriously, and helped him tidy up together.

"Let me come, you sit and rest." Qu Zhe hurriedly said.

Unexpectedly, Guan Tian said, "Let him clean up, it's fine."

"Yes, I didn't bring anything with me for dinner, so I can only help put away the bowls." Chu Zhan smiled at him, then carefully piled up the empty dishes on the table, and carried them into the kitchen together.He looked familiar, and it was certainly not the first time he had been in the shop.Qu Zhe followed behind him, took out all the remaining vegetables in the soup pot and threw them into the trash can, then poured out the soup and put it beside the bowl sink.

Chu Zhan had already put on his apron and started washing the dishes.

Qu Zhe took a clean dishcloth and cooperated with him, washing it by himself, drying it by himself and putting it in the cupboard.While he was busy, he noticed that there was a tattoo on the inside of Chu Zhan's arm, which looked like English letters, but it was difficult to identify what it was.After staying here for a while at Guan Tian, ​​Qu Zhe can also tell the good and bad of some tattoos. He can tell that the tattoo is quite rough, and it doesn't seem like it would appear on the CEO of a company.

"Are you looking at this tattoo?"

He was looking at it when Chu Zhan suddenly said.

"Ah, sorry."

"It's okay." Chu Zhan smiled, "This is also Xiaotian's handwriting."

"This……"

"It's very simple, isn't it?" He said, and stopped his movements deliberately to let Qu Zhe take a closer look at the tattoo, "This is the first time Xiaotian has tattooed someone else, I am very honored."

His words are gentle, even if Qu Zhe doesn't ask, he can still feel his love.

He must be in love with Guan Tian.

Jiang Yuzhao and Guan Tian's laughter came from outside, I don't know if it was because they were watching TV or because they saw something else, they sounded very happy.

For some reason, Qu Zhe couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard their voices.

Seeing him smile, Chu Zhan said, "I'm very happy here with Xiaotian."

"pretty good."

"She's always been like that, always warm."

Qu Zhe thought for a while, and said seriously: "It's my luck to know Sister Tian."

"Me too."

At noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qu Xiaoyu received news from Shen Yizhuo again, asking her to go out for dinner at night, and even the restaurant was booked, as if she was sure she would agree.Looking at the address information he sent, Qu Xiaoyu checked it online, and found that it was a Japanese grocery store with a good reputation.She couldn't say whether she liked it or not, but it was really lonely to be alone in a rented house during the New Year's Eve, so she accepted the invitation.

It's hard to say what purpose Shen Yizhuo has for him, but Qu Xiaoyu carefully put on his makeup on the basis of politeness, picked out a slightly mature dress, and arrived at the appointed place on time.

The other party arrived early and was standing at the intersection smoking a cigarette.

Shen Yizhuo was wearing an ordinary-looking short down jacket, which made his legs look longer. He just stood there smoking a cigarette, and he stood out from the crowd of passers-by.

"Hi." Qu Xiaoyu deliberately went around behind him, and patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Without a trace of surprise, Shen Yizhuo turned around calmly and smiled softly at her: "No, I just arrived... besides, you are very punctual."

"I don't like being late, let's go." Qu Xiaoyu smiled.

The two entered the shopping mall side by side, took the elevator, and went to the reserved store.Shen Yizhuo was very gentlemanly and naturally blocked the elevator door and opened the seat for her along the way.Among the men that Qu Xiaoyu had come into contact with, Shen Yizhuo was definitely considered to have a good family education, and one could tell that he was of extraordinary background.

"what do you like eating?"

"I want... this, this, and this!"

Although he and Qu Zhe are brothers and sisters, Qu Xiaoyu's personality is completely different from Qu Zhe's.It was only the second time I met Shen Yizhuo, but she didn't hold back at all, she spoke coquettishly, and reached out to order her favorite food on the spread menu.

"You are very cheerful." Shen Yizhuo praised.

"Ok?"

"I mean, it's very cute." He smiled and paused for a moment, then continued, "Last time I heard you said that you have an older brother. Didn't he accompany you during the New Year?"

"...It's like nothing." Qu Xiaoyu's expression suddenly dimmed.

"It seems that I said something that shouldn't be said, sorry."

"No, actually... the relationship is not very good."

"Did you put on some makeup today?" Shen Yizhuo simply changed the subject.

Qu Xiaoyu was a little surprised—the meeting was in a dimly lit bar, and Shen Yizhuo shouldn’t remember his appearance very clearly—besides, usually men can’t quite tell what is light makeup and what is thick makeup Makeup, what is makeup.

She nodded, bit her lower lip, her eyes looked charming and attractive: "Isn't it pretty?"

"It's beautiful." Shen Yizhuo said.

The way she bit her lower lip was almost exactly the same as when Qu Zhe was shy.The only difference is the eyes of the two, one unabashedly exudes charm; while the other is always dodging, afraid of looking directly at people.

"You look better without makeup." He said again.

"It's a lie, how can you look better without makeup, haha."

"have you."

Qu Xiaoyu looked at his slightly smiling face, but couldn't figure out what was going on in his expression.She still doesn't know how a man like Shen Yizhuo can express such keen interest in her.This kind of appearance and tutoring are usually sought after by countless girls, Qu Xiaoyu doesn't think there is anything special about him.

She hesitated, and finally began to speak directly: "May I ask..."

"Ok?"

"Are you trying to pursue me?"

Shen Yizhuo lowered his eyes with a smile, avoiding her direct gaze: "No."

"That……"

"Didn't I say it last time, I want a sister like you." He said, "If you don't mind having multiple brothers."

"...Now there are still real brothers and sisters?" Qu Xiaoyu laughed playfully, "Don't be funny."

"I'm serious." Shen Yizhuo suddenly raised his head and met her gaze, "You can find me if you need anything in the future, whether it's playing with you or eating with you."

"..."

"I was being rude, but I mean it."

The other party's attitude didn't look like they were playing around, and it didn't look like they were retreating as a way to advance.Qu Xiaoyu was a little dazed, the other party brought up the matter of "brother" again and again, she couldn't help but think of her own brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

She didn't even know if the other person was still alive, and she didn't want to know.

If Qu Zhe was like the man in front of him, gentle and elegant, with extraordinary temperament, maybe everything would be different.

It must be different.

She was thinking so, and accidentally lost her mind, Shen Yizhuo said softly: "Xiaoyu...?"

"what?"

"what happened?"

"It's okay," Qu Xiaoyu said sadly, "If you are really my brother, it will be fine."

In the chat, a meal also came to an end.

Shen Yizhuo sent her back to the apartment downstairs, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly took out a small box: "New Year's gift."

"Ah, how nice is it to treat me to dinner and presents?"

"Let's see if you like it or not."

Qu Xiaoyu smiled while unpacking the delicate package.What Shen Yizhuo gave was a bottle of perfume with a neutral fragrance. She opened the bottle cap and smelled it a little. The smell was very light and pleasant.

"I think it suits you very well, so I bought it, do you like it?" He said.

Qu Xiaoyu smiled: "I like it."

But in fact, both friends and Mr. Tang have said that she is suitable for the perfume of red poison, which is almost the opposite of this smell.

After a period of time, Shen Yizhuo really regarded Qu Xiaoyu as his younger sister, asking about the current situation every now and then, or giving some small gifts that were not expensive.Qu Xiaoyu's defensiveness was gradually wiped out by the distance he kept just right. Occasionally, when he was bored alone, he would think of him, or talk to him, or ask him out to watch a movie with a good reputation recently .
