medium rare

Faced with Dong Jinfeng's questioning, Shen Tuochen was speechless.Why didn't he go out to pick it up?If it was normal, he would definitely answer this call behind Dong Jinfeng's back.But ever since that incident happened, Shen Tuochen had an invisible sense of oppression in his heart. He wanted to solve this incident, but he just lacked a proper timing.But now, the opportunity finally came, Shen Tuochen didn't go out to answer the phone, if Dong Jinfeng heard it, he would tell the whole thing along the way; if he didn't hear it, then he could only wait for the opportunity to come.

Things were similar to Shen Tuochen's expectation, Dong Jinfeng heard it, but when facing Dong Jinfeng's questioning, Shen Tuochen seemed to have a huge stone weighing a thousand catties on his chest, which made him a little breathless.His mind was blank, and this was the first time he was in a mess since he took office.

"Jinfeng..."

Dong Jinfeng didn't look at Shen Tuochen, but sat on the bed with a towel and wiped his head. After a while, he said, "Is my brother's phone number?"

Shen Tuochen leaned against the window sill and said in a low voice, "En."

"You know my brother?" Dong Jinfeng glanced at Shen Tuochen curiously.

"I know you. We met when your brother was in technical secondary school."

Dong Jinfeng nodded, thought for a while and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

why?It is always difficult for Shen Tuochen to tell Dong Jinfeng the answer directly. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to a man who is working hard, and it is also a kind of disapproval of his personal ability, so Shen Tuochen can't say it.

Dong Jinfeng couldn't wait for an answer. He lowered his head and looked at the towel being clenched into a ball in his hand, "Is it because of my brother? That's why you are willing to recruit me to the company and give me such good benefits. Yeah?"

"No." Shen Tuochen felt at a loss, and hurriedly explained: "Jinfeng, it's not like this, you can't think like that. That's right, at first I wanted to drag you for Dong Yu's sake, but later …Later I saw your grades in school and your graduation works, until then I found out that you have a high talent in design, but you lack experience. At that time, I had already seen your advantages, My company needs talents like you." Shen Tuochen could no longer figure out what kind of feeling he was feeling in his heart, it was as if several gases were mixed together and it was difficult to distinguish them.

Dong Jinfeng nodded slightly, and then said: "I know, so you don't have to worry about my self-esteem being hit. I believe in my ability. Isn't that what you have always told me, so I am very confident."

Shen Tuochen suddenly relaxed a lot. He looked at Dong Jinfeng almost with tears in his eyes. He opened his mouth, and before he could blurt out the words he had prepared, he heard Dong Jinfeng say: "However, you have to admit that there is more or less something in it. My brother exists, right!"

A basin of cold water was poured down his head, this was Shen Tuochen's feeling at this moment, he took a deep breath, and finally admitted it.

Dong Jinfeng turned his head to look at Shen Tuochen, and smiled slightly after seeing him nodding, "Brother Shen, do you like my brother?"

Shen Tuochen was startled, and stared at Dong Jinfeng with wide eyes. He opened his mouth and wanted to prevaricate, but he couldn't cheat Dong Jinfeng out of conscience. Things have developed to the point where Shen Tuochen believes that he must bear all the responsibilities. escaped.

Dong Jinfeng withdrew his gaze, and looked down at the ball of towel in his hand again, "If you don't say it, you will agree, my brother...he is very good."

Shen Tuochen stared blankly at Dong Jinfeng, not knowing how to explain it clumsily, "Jinfeng, your brother and I, it seems...impossible."

"Because of me?" Dong Jinfeng frowned at Shen Tuochen's words, feeling very uncomfortable, this was the first time he was a little sensitive when facing emotions.

"No, no, it's definitely not because of you, but because of Bai Ruiyang's existence."

Dong Jinfeng did not fully believe Dong Jinfeng's words. If it is said that because Bai Ruiyang and Dong Yu were together, Shen Tuochen had the idea of ​​giving up. This is probably not his style of doing things. Although Dong Jinfeng is relatively simple in his feelings, he has nothing to do with work. He will never act like a fool.Dong Jinfeng thought about the fact that he was recruited by Shen Tuochen to the company, and quickly came to a conclusion, that is——Shen Tuochen still had thoughts about Dong Yu, and wanted to start from himself to win Dong Yu's favor.

"Brother Shen, is that Bai's company Bai Ruiyang's company?"

Shen Tuochen responded, "Yes."

The problem soon became clear, just as he thought, Shen Tuochen helped him because of Dong Yu's reasons.

After Dong Jinfeng got the answer, he felt that he was strong and could face everything that happened in the future, but now he knew that he was also a human being, a very fragile person emotionally.Dong Jinfeng's nose was sore, and his heart throbbed with pain. If this pain continued to develop, maybe he would suffocate to death?

"Jinfeng..."

Dong Jinfeng waved his hand and interrupted Shen Tuochen's words, he said: "Brother Shen, don't worry, I believe you hired me because of my ability to work. As for how you have taken care of me these days, I really care about you." Thank you very much, and I thank you for my brother too, but... I have made up my mind, after returning from the winery, I want to move out, is that okay?"

Shen Tuochen wanted to reject Dong Jinfeng's proposal, but what qualifications did he have to refuse?Shen Tuochen felt uncomfortable, but this discomfort was based on many things, covering up the real reason for his discomfort. He didn't find out, and it was even more impossible for Dong Jinfeng to find out.

Shen Tuochen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with difficulty after a while: "Okay, I'll help you find another place to live."

Dong Jinfeng smiled, but he didn't know how ugly and awkward his current smile was.

"Brother Shen, I'm sleepy, go to bed."

Shen Tuochen nodded, "Okay."

******

Dong Wenli's work was helped by Mr. Bai, so it was appropriate to come to thank her, but Mr. Bai did not see Dong Wenli due to important work reasons. Instead, he sent someone to take Dong Wenli to the work unit to report.Dong Yu's mind was very clear at the moment, Mr. Bai wanted to see him, but he didn't know what would happen after the meeting.

Bai Ruiyang put off all the work that day, and took Dong Yu back to Bai's old house before lunch.This is Dong Yu's first visit to Bai Ruiyang's home, the real family. As soon as he enters the gate of Baizhai, he sees a big poplar tree that has been around for some years. It is the hottest season in Beijing at this time. It is precisely because of the luxuriant branches and leaves that there is an inherent shade under the tree, and Mr. Bai is sitting on a deck chair under the tree to enjoy the coolness. The cattail fan in his hand looks old, not only the color is old, but also the fan is still intact. A hole was exposed.There were utensils for making tea on the small table next to him. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Old Man Bai opened his eyes, and then waved to Bai Ruiyang: "I'm back."

"Grandpa." Bai Ruiyang took Dong Yu and walked over, approaching, Dong Yu bowed very respectfully, "Hello, Grandpa."

Old Man Bai glanced at Dong Yu, and hummed meaningfully, "Sit down."

There were two half-short chairs beside them. Dong Yu and Bai Ruiyang took them and sat down respectively, and then they heard old man Bai say: "If it's not about the girl's work, when do you two plan to come back?"

Dong Yu was taken aback, then turned to look at Bai Ruiyang, who smiled and said, "Even if there is no work for Wen Li, we will come back, it's just a matter of time."

"Huh..." Old Master Bai waved his cattail fan, "Are you planning to go back when you come back?"

Bai Ruiyang responded with a smile: "No, we plan to stay with Grandpa, so we won't go back."

Hearing this, old man Bai finally raised the corners of his mouth, and his tone revealed joy, "It's fine if you don't leave. Although the money is good, it's not as good as a family coming together."

"Grandpa said yes."

Old man Bai is over 80 years old, and his body is still very strong. When he is not going out, he is dressed in an ordinary way. He sat up from the recliner, looked at Dong Yu, and asked with a smile: "It's time for lunch, is Dong Yu hungry? "

Dong Yu quickly smiled and said, "Fortunately, is grandpa hungry?"

"Old man, I'm hungry, you two go in with me and have some food together."

When old man Bai got up, how could Dong Yu and Bai Ruiyang dare to sit still? When old man Bai walked into the house with his hands behind his back, Dong Yu and Bai Ruiyang hurriedly followed. , Paji kissed him on the cheek.

Dong Yu was startled, and without even thinking about it, he punched Bai Ruiyang right in the heart.

Bai Ruiyang frowned, and said with a wry smile, "Why so hard?"

Dong Yu whispered, "Grandpa is here."

Bai Ruiyang smiled and said, "I'm afraid you'll be nervous."

"I'm nervous, but after you kiss, I'm even more nervous!" Dong Yu patted his chest and said with a long breath, "Grandpa looks really majestic."

"He...is frightening." Bai Ruiyang laughed.

Dong Yu glared at him, then quickened his pace and entered the house.

This is where old man Bai lived alone, but because he was old, Bai Jiantao let his two younger brothers live here so that he could take care of old man Bai's daily life. Apart from Aunt Wang who eats three meals a day, there are only Dong Yu and Bai Ruiyang who have just entered the door.

The meals are all ready, and they are all the ones that old man Bai likes to eat on weekdays.Of course, Bai Ruiyang also likes to eat.Dong Yu followed Bai Ruiyang to the table, and when he looked at the table, he found that there were chili peppers on the table. He hadn't eaten this dish for a long time. He remembered that when his second brother was still alive, he often made this dish for Dong Yu. Eat, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye, Dong Yu almost forgot what the problem with this dish is.

"Sit down, don't stand up."

Dong Yu sat down in response, and Bai Ruiyang sat on either side of Mr. Bai.

Mr. Bai picked up the chopsticks, his eyes were almost invisible from the smile, "Are you used to these dishes?"

Dong Yu glanced at the table again. They were all home-cooked dishes. If he was not used to eating them, he quickly smiled and said, "It's all my favorite food."
