After the women dispersed, Chu Jingxing let go of the arm that was holding Jiang Liyan's shoulder.
"Thank you for helping me out, Li Yan."
Jiang Liyan's brain stopped functioning, as if he hadn't recovered from what he just said.After a while, when he inadvertently met Chu Jingxing's smiling eyes, worried that the frequency of his heartbeat would be exposed, he hurriedly looked away.
"……It's ok."
Behind this sentence, what Jiang Liyan wanted to say was how great it would be if the sentence just said was true.
Facing the person he likes, he dare not say anything.
He is too timid.
**
After walking around the exhibition with Chu Jingxing for a day, it was finally time to go back.
Jiang Liyan realized that he had forgotten an important question.
"Old thief Chu."
"Ok?"
"How did you get the tickets for this show?"
The corners of Chu Jingxing's lips twitched.
Jiang Liyan couldn't read his expression, so he stabbed him fiercely in the waist: "Say it quickly."
The two walked on the noisy city streets, and the neon lights continued to alternate, making the atmosphere between the two extremely ambiguous.
"I can say, but it's not yet time." Chu Jingxing flicked Jiang Liyan's forehead, "Don't think about it, let's go back earlier, what do you want to eat today?"
Jiang Liyan thought for a while, and decided to wait for the so-called "time is ripe".
"Open a bottle of red wine."
"Ok?"
"To celebrate, I made an appointment today for a limited-edition game worldwide."
**
The next week passed quickly.Jiang Liyan looked at the calendar, and it was very close to the centennial anniversary.
I don't know what old thief Chu is up to these days. Every day when Jiang Liyan comes back from get off work, I see him coming out of the bedroom in a hurry. The past few days were fine, but today, old thief Chu seems to be too obsessed with the matter at hand. I even forgot about cooking.
"..."
"..."
The two looked at each other.
"Is the company so busy?" Jiang Liyan twitched his lips helplessly, then walked towards the bedroom, "Wait for me to change my clothes, it seems like I haven't eaten out for a long time, let's go out to eat."
Chu Jingxing frowned: "Sorry, Li Yan..."
"There's nothing to apologize for." Jiang Liyan waved his hand, "You should change your clothes too."
Chu Jingxing nodded and followed him into the bedroom.
But the carpet in the bedroom was full of all kinds of photos, Jiang Liyan couldn't help suppressing the curvature of his lips when he saw this scene.
Jiang Liyan: "...What are you doing?"
Chu Jingxing went straight to the closet, picked out two sets of clothes and took them out with a calm expression, "Just to see you."
Jiang Liyan's face became ugly.
——A few days ago, my sister sent him a souvenir book, which was filled with all the photos of Jiang Liyan's growth.
Every photo was taken by Jiang Liwan himself, there are many ugly photos of Jiang Liyan, and the dark history that Jiang Liyan never wants to recall in his life.
When he received the commemorative book, when he saw the black historical photos, he immediately had no desire to continue flipping through. He first sent a thank you text message to his sister, and casually threw the commemorative book in the corner.
I'm sorry, sister.
But he didn't expect that Chu Jingxing found this photo album from nowhere, and even pulled out his photos from various periods from the album, and arranged them neatly in chronological order.
Jiang Liyan: "..."
Jiang Liyan: "...I think you need to give me an explanation."
Chu Jingxing smiled lightly: "I just want to see you as a child."
Jiang Liyan snorted coldly, knelt down to organize the photos: "I won't eat up your wallet when I go out later."
"Don't worry, I won't be able to finish eating in a few lifetimes."
"..."
**
He said he wanted to eat up Chu Jingxing's wallet, but in fact, Jiang Liyan dragged him to a very down-to-earth shop nearby when he went out.
Chu Jingxing stood at the door in a daze for a moment: "...Li Yan, you..."
He finally understood why Li Yan said he didn't need to drive. It turned out that Li Yan wanted to go to the hot pot restaurant downstairs.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Liyan looked excited.
Chu Jingxing shook his head: "I didn't expect you to like this kind of place."
"In the past few years in S City, I went to various places." Jiang Liyan pulled Chu Jing into the door, and the shopkeeper spoke a thick northeast accent, and greeted Jiang Liyan cordially after seeing him.
"Hey bro, are you coming?"
"Boss, I'm coming!" Jiang Liyan's Dongbei dialect was learned and sold, "Arrange a quiet place?"
Regarding what happened in front of him, Chu Jingxing said: ...?
"Li Yan, isn't this your first time here?"
"I'm a regular customer, and occasionally I want to change my taste." Jiang Liyan said, and then turned to the boss, "First, let's have a mandarin duck pot. The vegetables are the same as before, and it's for two."
"Okay, wait a minute, brother."
After Chu Jingxing entered the Chu family, this was the first time he came to such a place. There were many people and it was not a private room.This reminded him of the public bathhouse in the orphanage a long time ago, and he always went to take a bath alone in the dead of night.
——I also remembered that Xiao Liyan sneaked to the orphanage to find him one night, and accidentally broke into the bathhouse.
He still remembers Xiao Liyan's shy look at that time.
"Pfft." Chu Jingxing suddenly laughed.
Jiang Liyan glanced at him suspiciously, secretly thinking about it.He glanced at Chu Jingxing, and asked casually, "What are you up to these days?"
He really cared too much. After asking, he couldn't help but peek at Chu Jingxing's expression.
He originally thought that the old thief Chu would answer with ease, or make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect——
Chu Jingxing's hand trembled, and the drink in his cup almost spilled out.
"Cough." He tried to divert Jiang Liyan's attention, "Busy about the company."
Jiang Liyan squinted his eyes, feeling that old thief Chu was lying.
But forget it, because he always has a premonition that all these things will be revealed soon.
At this time, the boss had already put all the vegetables on the table, and Jiang Liyan saw the man opposite him looking at the vegetables seriously, and remembered how he usually used the knife in the kitchen, and laughed dumbly.
"Old thief, you haven't eaten hot pot, have you?"
"I..." Chu Jingxing had never eaten it, "I've heard of it."
In order to save face, he put some meat in the spicy pot: "...don't eat such unnutritious food next time, and, why didn't I know that you often come to this restaurant to eat?"
Occasionally, he would go back at noon and want to have dinner with the old thief, but when the old thief was not in the apartment, Jiang Liyan would come to this store alone, and over time he became a regular customer.
Of course, Jiang Liyan would not tell the real reason.
"No matter how perfect a chef is, there will be times when he gets bored!" Jiang Liyan said with a guilty conscience, not noticing the stiffness on Chu Jingxing's face.
"Li Yan, next time you get bored, you can tell me..."
Chu Jingxing's voice was soft, not like the usual rogue voice of grievance, as if he was really aggrieved by someone who said something serious, but Jiang Liyan almost didn't hear the grievance that was so light.
"That..." Jiang Liyan was at a loss, "I'm not saying that the food you cook is not delicious!"
Chu Jingxing: (grievance)
"Uh, I mean... can we have dinner together next time?"
The expression on Chu Jingxing's face moved.
"Did you eat alone before?"
"Yes."
"Li Yan, come with me in the future, don't forget what you said."
"Of course I won't forget."
Then the next second, Jiang Liyan's cell phone rang.
"Hello, hello."
"Li Yan, I'm the senior."
Jiang Liyan was startled, took a look at Chu Jingxing, then lowered his volume: "...Senior, what's wrong?"
No matter how quiet Jiang Liyan's voice was, Chu Jingxing definitely heard the name, and paused as he wanted to drink water.
"I haven't contacted you for a long time. I want to see you. Where are you now? Can I wait for you at the hot pot restaurant you often go to?"
"that……"
Click.
Jiang Liyan seemed to hear the sound of Chu Jingxing crushing the water glass.
But actually he didn't.
Chu Jingxing didn't seem to have heard the conversation between him and Gu Mingzhe, there was no expression on his face with distinct features, as usual.
Jiang Liyan exchanged quick greetings and hung up the phone.
"Old thief Chu, wait for me..."
Chu Jingxing raised his eyes. Although the corners of his lips were curved, his eyes coldly interrupted his words:
"Li Yan."
"Why does Gu Mingzhe know that you often come to this store?"
Jiang Liyan: ...! ?
Oh shit.
The old thief Chu heard it! ?
The author has something to say: www actually found it
The mainline is almost done
the story is almost over
"Thank you for helping me out, Li Yan."
Jiang Liyan's brain stopped functioning, as if he hadn't recovered from what he just said.After a while, when he inadvertently met Chu Jingxing's smiling eyes, worried that the frequency of his heartbeat would be exposed, he hurriedly looked away.
