small perfect

The word "good" almost blurted out, but Yuan Yi forcibly swallowed it back. He subconsciously observed Zhong Man's reaction, and seeing that he did not express any objection, he nodded and followed them out of the restaurant.

On the way, Chen Shiming asked them what they planned to have for lunch.

Yuan Yi thought about it seriously, and said, "Is it okay to eat the buffet?"

Chen Shiming: ...

He doesn't like to eat buffets the most. They seem to have all kinds of things, but they don't taste very good.

He also wanted to discuss it, but saw Zhong Man with his hands in his pockets, nonchalantly pouting forward, "There is a seafood buffet over there, go and try it."

Chen Shiming wished he could turn around and leave.

Aren't you quarreling?What kind of trouble is it to sing and make peace?Follow the script!

Not long after, the three of them came to the seafood buffet mentioned by Zhong Man.

Chen Shiming wandered around inside and found that there are quite a complete range of things, including seafood, barbecue, hot dishes, cold cuts, refreshments, and drinks. It can be called a paradise for foodies.

And Chen Shiming is not a foodie, he is very particular and has high requirements for the quality of life.Take food as an example. What he pays attention to is nutrition and health, and then he has to go up the grade. The price is completely out of his consideration. The chef who cooks for him should have won a prize. What kind of roadside stall? , a small restaurant, he usually doesn't even look at it.In front of people, he has a high-end glamorous style, always makes himself like a proud peacock, and is often so cold that he has no friends, which scares away several suitors.

Those people thought that he was too difficult to serve, hypocritical, pretentious, and a lot of shit, he was more troublesome than women.

But he doesn't have this awareness, and arranges his little life in a very realistic way every day.

After returning from the visit, Chen Shiming was taken aback by the table full of food.

Zhong Man was sitting at the dining table eating small shells, seeing him making a fuss, he didn't bother to talk to him.

He walked over and sat down, picked up a small shell and fed it into his mouth, uh, it was really unpalatable.

"Where's Yuanyuan?" He asked.

"Go get some food."

"Still taking it? There is almost no room for piles on the table."

"He probably thinks it's fun to run around to get things." Zhong Man raised the corners of his mouth and his eyes waved softly.

Chen Shiming: ...

How can there be a sense of sight that parents bring their children to eat buffet?

At this time, Yuan Yi came over with a large plate and a small plate, put the plate on the table, and asked, "Why don't you go get something to eat?"

Chen Shiming pretended to be serious, "Since you like to play with it, this glorious and arduous task is entrusted to you."

Zhong Man put his head down and smiled sullenly, then his expression returned to normal, and he continued to eat his little shells.

"Oh." Yuan Yi asked again, "Then what do you like to eat? I'll get it."

"Whatever you want." Chen Shiming teased, "But you'd better take it easy, don't take all the food from other people's stores."

After Yuan Yi left, Chen Shiming stared at the notice board on the table that reminded him to eat frugally, and asked Zhong Man seriously: "You said, will we be fined for not finishing the food at the checkout? "

Zhong Man easily threw a sentence, "If you are afraid of being fined, eat as hard as you can."

Chen Shiming replied with one word, "Get lost!"

Chen Shiming started to eat desperately. It's not that he loves money, but that if he is really fined in public, he has a feeling that there is nowhere to put his old face.But no matter how hard he ate, he couldn't keep up with Yuan Yi's speed of getting food back and forth.Seeing that there were four or five kinds of drinks on the table, he was a little overwhelmed, and even a tough guy couldn't eat so many things. Will he be able to walk out of this restaurant smoothly later?

He discussed with Zhong Man: "Could you please take care of him and tell him not to take it anymore."

Zhong Man finally finished off all the plates of small shells, drank his saliva and said, "Isn't the fun of a buffet just to keep eating? He helped us get food without any complaints. Why should I deprive him of his food?" pleasure?"

Chen Shiming: "Bah!"

While the two were talking, Yuan Yi returned to the table with the plate again.

Zhong Man raised his head, his eyes fell on the plate in Yuan Yi's hand, and he almost jumped up in shock.

Two large plates full of small shells! !It was piled up like two small hills.

Is this to make him cast a psychological shadow on Little Shell from now on?

Chen Shiming gloated at the side, "Yuanyuan is so considerate. I know you like to eat small shells, and I brought so many for you. Hurry up and eat them while they are hot."

Yuan Yi seemed to have guessed his mind, put down the plate and turned around to slip away, but Zhong Man was afraid that he would go to get the small shells again, so he quickly stopped him, "You are tired after working for a long time, sit down and eat something."

As soon as Yuan turned his head, the surprise on his face couldn't be concealed, and he obediently sat on the chair and began to eat.

While eating, he took a peek at Zhong Man, and found that the other party had returned to an indifferent expression after saying that sentence, as if he had no intention of continuing the conversation with him, and the little joy before suddenly disappeared.

Yuan Yi almost couldn't understand the person in front of him.

From the acquaintance to the present, Zhong Man has always been tolerant, open-minded and open-minded in front of him, but this time he was angry for a week because of a small matter?Shouldn't he have such a narrow personality?What link went wrong between them?

Yuan Yi really wants to know the reason for his uncharacteristic behavior. A person who always cares about you suddenly becomes indifferent, and anyone would be sad if he were replaced by him. What's more, Yuan Yi sincerely regards him as a good friend, and he treats you indifferently in a daze. I want to figure it out.

Although Yuan Yi was very upset by Zhong Man, he was unambiguous when he ate. He opened his belly and ate all the food, and he wiped out more than half of the food on the table in one fell swoop.

Chen Shiming was amazed when he saw it. This kid's stomach is a bottomless pit. Isn't he the ultimate killer of the buffet hidden among the people?After this meal, his photo will probably be pasted by the boss at the door to prevent him from coming in again to eat and drink, right?

With Yuan Yi's super combat power, what Chen Shiming was worried about did not happen. He ate a meal for about an hour or two, and his lunch break was basically spent here.

Several people came out of the cafeteria, and Chen Shiming was still lamenting Yuan Yi's amazing appetite.Yuan Yi was quite embarrassed by what he said, and kept giggling nonstop.Zhong Man walked slowly behind them, seemingly at a leisurely pace, but in fact he had been secretly observing Yuan Yi.

The deep eyes were full of affection, reflecting Yuan Yi's figure walking in front, and just watched the whole way quietly.

Zhong Man wanted to get close to him, but felt that it was good for both of them to pay attention silently and not to disturb him.

When he came to the door of his restaurant, Zhong Man saw Chen Shiming walk in directly, but Yuan Yi suddenly stopped and stood where he was.

Zhong Man felt strange, and saw him take out his cell phone and press it hard, thinking that he was probably replying to a text message.

Seeing that he was about to walk to his side, Zhong Man deliberately looked back and quickened his pace.

The moment he passed by, the corner of his clothes was grabbed tightly by a force.

Zhong Man turned his head in surprise and saw a pitiful face.

The delicate eyebrows were pulled together, and the water in the big eyes was rippling, showing a little aggrieved look.

His heart skipped a beat, just as Zhong Man was about to ask him what's the matter, a voice as thin as mosquitoes and flies floated in the air.

"Boss, are you really going to ignore me?"

There was a lot of soreness in his chest, Zhong Man looked down at him, his heart ached.

The indifference and free-spiritedness he had tried so hard to pretend these days was torn to pieces in an instant.

Zhong Man instinctively raised his arm, wanting to hug him into his arms, but a sliver of rationality stopped him in time, his arm froze in the air for two seconds, and then gently landed on Yuan Yi's shoulder, he smiled He asked, "When did I ignore you?"

Yuan Yi saw that his expression was normal, as if he had returned to his original appearance, and he was half happy and half uneasy, fearing that if he gave a sweet date first at this time, he would turn his face and ignore him soon.

"You haven't paid much attention to me these days." Yuan began to count his faults, "Every time I talk to you, you ignore me, and when we meet, you deliberately turn your face away, as if you treat me like you are. Like a scourge, I tried my best to please you, but he didn't appreciate it at all. Did I do something heinous? Why did you treat me like this? Sometimes when I look at your indifferent look, I I really want to beat someone up."

"You actually want to hit me? Heh, have you eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's guts?" Zhong Manle laughed, stretched out his hand to rub his face, and joked, "Since you don't like me, you can ignore me."

"I really thought about it, but I can't do it."

Zhong Man secretly delighted, "Why?"

"Because we are friends."

Zhong Man smiled, with an unconcealable loneliness in his expression.

……

It took a whole week for the two to go from being awkward to reconciling.Whether the time is long or short, it made Zhong Man understand many things.

After speaking clearly with Yuan, he suddenly saw a lot.Fate is something that can be met but not sought.It is like the wind, always erratic, it can come at any time, and it can also leave at any time. The more eagerly you chase it, the farther it will be from you.

If it's yours, you can't escape after all; if it's not yours, you can't force it.

Now that the matter is over, Zhong Man can only comfort himself in this way.

※※※

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the earth was covered with snow, and the small town in the north ushered in the first heavy snow of the year.

Yuan Yi went out early in the morning, and there was only a vast expanse of whiteness in the world, and snowflakes like goose feathers fell down. He only walked in the snow for a short while, and the top of his head and shoulders were covered with a thin layer of snow.

He walked to the intersection and found a silver-gray off-road vehicle parked quietly in front of him. The body was covered with a thick layer of snow, and it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.He walked over with a smile, the window came down almost at the same time, Zhong Man sat inside and smiled at him, "Good morning."

"Boss, you came so early!"

As soon as Yuan got into the car, Zhong Man helped him brush off the snowflakes on his body, and then handed him a cup of hot drink as if conjuring, "Drink quickly." Then he looked at him and said, "How can you drink in such a cold day? Don't wear a hat and a scarf? Your face is red from the cold."

"It's so troublesome." Yuan Yi took a sip of the hot drink, "Besides, I don't have these things at home."

"I'll buy it for you later."

"no need."

Zhong Man rubbed his head, stepped on the accelerator, and the car started slowly on the road...

Before going to work, Zhong Man first took Yuan Yiyi to eat breakfast, and then found a jewelry store to buy him a set of warming equipment. When they arrived at the restaurant, the morning market was already over.

Yuan Yi felt embarrassed about this absenteeism, but Zhong Man didn't care at all, and even comforted him with the excuse that Xue Xue had no business.

As soon as he stepped in, the front desk lady said to Zhong Man, "Mr. Zhong, someone is looking for you."

"Who is looking for me?"

"He said he was your uncle's friend, and he seemed to have something for you."

"Oh." Zhong Man suddenly remembered that his uncle who lived abroad for a long time called him not long ago, saying that he had something to hand over to his father, and he asked his uncle to mail it back at that time, but his little Uncle said that soon a friend would return to China to visit relatives, so he simply asked a friend to bring it to him.

It seems that my uncle's friend has returned.

"Where is he?" Zhong Man asked.

"Just sit at the table by the window."

"Ah."

……

Zhong Man walked towards the hall, Yuan Yi followed closely behind, his gaze swept to the seat by the window, and he saw a middle-aged man sitting there quietly.

The man was dressed in black and looked to be in his early 40s. He stared out of the window motionlessly, his handsome face revealed the serenity and vicissitudes of time.

Looking at it from Yuan Yi's angle, only his profile can be seen.

Yuan Yi always felt that this face looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

It wasn't until Zhong Man walked up to the man and said hello, the moment the man turned his head, Yuan Yi finally saw his whole picture clearly, and suddenly realized...

Isn't he that so-and-so!
