[Infinite] End Game

No one could have imagined that so many unexpected things would happen today, but no matter what, the welcome party was held as scheduled.

In the exquisite courtyard surrounded by green grass and vines, the orange sunset blurred the outlines of everyone. Everyone gathered around the oven, sitting casually in twos and threes. It also rises with the clearer and clearer charcoal light, which seems to wash away the bitterness and sorrow at once.

"Cheers!!" Su Bei and Wei Liu took the lead in making a fuss, and Tang Yu raised the drink can and bumped into everyone.Ji Shenlan smiled lightly, no abnormality could be seen in the state at this time, Si Yan also smiled, but there was still a little depression in the smile.

"Want to drink?" Louis sat next to Ji Shenlan, turned his head and asked patiently.

"No, I really don't need it." Ji Shenlan took a bite, then smiled and pushed Louis aside.

There is a lot of barbecue, and Chang He's knife skills are also very good. Each slice is cut into a uniform thickness. Spread it on the stove and then turn it over in a few seconds. At first, everyone who wants to eat it can grill it by himself, but later After stuffing a bunch of things into their own bowls in a hurry, they all got lazy again, and Chang He, Ah Jin and Wei Liu were the only ones who persisted on the stove.

Girls don’t need to do anything they want to eat, Wei Liu is in charge of the whole process, Ah Jin is mainly taking care of a lot, and will leave an extra portion on the plate, Louis will come over and get it, as for Chang He...

Holding the bowl, Tang Yu watched in a daze as Chang He brushed the sauce skillfully and then quickly turned it over. After a while, the hand that looked extraordinarily slender and clear after rolling up the cuff and revealing a section of wrist was holding the tongs to clamp the meat slices. When it was in his bowl, Chang He pushed the remaining half to Si Yan.

It's just that Si Yan's mood is obviously average, he doesn't talk much and doesn't eat much of the meat at hand, like a puppy that fell into the water or a painting that suddenly loses its color, sitting in the crowd also feels confused and lonely.

Tang Yu's thoughts were actually a little confused, so when he finally realized that he was about to vomit after another bite, he realized that there was still half a bowl of meat and vegetables piled up in his bowl .

Tang Yu looked at the food in his bowl and calmed down for a while, but before he could make a choice between "some impolite leftovers" and "try hard to take another bite", his hand suddenly lightened, and a Reaching out in front of him and taking his bowl, Chang He sat down beside him very naturally, grabbed a piece of meat and ate it.

"...Eh?" Tang Yu stared in surprise, but immediately realized that Chang He should have noticed his embarrassment, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and in order to take care of him and Si Yan, Chang He himself basically Didn't eat much.Tang Yu's face turned red, and after thinking about it, he couldn't say a word in the end, so he silently took the place on the stove and started to help Chang He grill the meat.

According to Fang Miao, although everyone has a good relationship, except for the regular partners who have teamed up with dungeons and often stay together, there are not many opportunities for ten people to get together, so the atmosphere is still quite lively.Everyone had almost finished eating and no one left, they all got together, chatting and watching Chang He at the same time.

Chang He completely ignored other people's gazes and ate in a serious manner.In fact, it can be seen from the posture that Chang He's upbringing is actually very good, but except for Tang Yu, who has a deep understanding of Chang He's appetite, the eyes of others looking at Chang He are flat and gradually become strange, and finally they all agree Was shocked.

Only Chang He remained calm from beginning to end.

"Won't his stomach explode after eating so much?" Wei Liu gave a reverent thumbs up after watching with a can of drink for more than ten minutes.

"Probably digest quickly, but you still have to pay attention to food accumulation." Louis replied with a smile, he stood up from Ji Shenlan, grabbed Si Yan's shoulder and took him back to the living room to re-wrap the bandage, before leaving But he deliberately turned his head to wink at Tang Yu.

Tang Yu understood instantly that it was Ji Shenlan who wanted to talk to him.

Tang Yu grilled the last piece of meat, then put down the tongs and walked over.Everyone moves stools at will, so the space between the seats is quite loose.Ji Shenlan was supposed to sit a little farther away, but after Tang Yu sat down, many people who were closer and Fang Miao also got up and moved out of their seats very cooperatively.The two went to talk to Su Bei and A Jin, and Tang Yu and Ji Shenlan became a small corner where no one was disturbed. If they had a normal conversation, they didn't have to worry about being overheard.

"I'm sorry, it was supposed to be a welcome meeting today." Ji Shenlan smiled, her brows and eyes seemed to be covered with a light mist in the darkness.

Tang Yu shook his head, fell silent for a while, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"En." Ji Shenlan responded lightly, but there was a trace of tiredness in his eyes that could not be concealed, like a person trekking in the desert. His body is already very tired, but he is still stubbornly looking for an oasis. Just because you can't find it, you can't get out, and if you can't find it, you will die.

"Zong Hai is my lover." Ji Shenlan looked at the distant sky quietly, and said suddenly.

"Ah..." Tang Yu didn't expect Ji Shenlan to bring it up so directly, he couldn't help being stunned, and after a while he responded in a low voice: "Ah."

"I'm sorry, I'm probably a little out of order today..." Ji Shenlan scratched her hair, looked sideways at Tang Yu, and smiled apologetically, "But when I see you, sometimes it's as if I saw you. We're the same as before."

"—Eh? Wait, wait a minute!" Tang Yu was taken aback, and quickly explained, "Why don't I tell Chang, isn't it..."

Tang Yu's eyes widened incoherently, and finally emphasized: "We are just partners—just friends!!"

That being said, however, ordinary partners and friends don't seem to choose to live together.

Doesn't seem to be eating from the same bowl either.

Tang Yu thought of this just after explaining, and suddenly felt a subtle guilty conscience, but he immediately shook his head and threw it away.

"Well, I know. I'm not interfering with you, but Chang He's situation is a bit special, you have to protect yourself and don't become what I am now." Ji Shenlan patted him understandingly, and looked at him The lively scene of the lively fire and his friends gathered together, but his thoughts seemed to drift far away. He paused and said softly: "It is very sad to say goodbye to important people. If you want to It's not that sad, and the best way is actually not to shake that hand in the first place."

"..."

Tang Yu opened his mouth and didn't speak. Looking at Ji Shenlan, he smelled a faint smell similar to loneliness.

Tang Yu pinched his fingers unconsciously, lowered his eyes, and his head was slightly hot.Until everyone packed up the yard and tableware, said goodbye to each other and returned to the apartment, they still couldn't sort out a clue from the deep entanglement.

"..."

Chang He watched Tang Yu follow him home mechanically, and then sat on the sofa with a dull expression on Tang Yu's face. After thinking for a few seconds, he walked over and touched his forehead with his hands.

Tang Yu only felt a shadow appear in front of his eyes, and before he could look up, he felt a warm palm covering his forehead.Tang Yu blinked, came back to his senses, couldn't help smiling, and said, "I don't have a fever."

It wasn't burnt, it was cool to the touch.Chang He didn't take back his hand, but thought for a while, "Is there any discomfort?"

"No." Tang Yu took Chang He's palm off his head, raised his face and looked at him.

"...Then," Chang He also looked at him, was silent for a while, and then said: "From tomorrow, I will move to the next door."
