mild compromise

Cake, you should eat those..."

"No, I'll just eat this, it tastes pretty good."

Guan Meng: "..."

Lao Cai, who was on the side, saw all the scene just now, and he secretly pulled Xiao Chenghao aside when everyone was not paying attention.

"Xiao Chenghao, you fucking tell me again that is your brother?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Chenghao threw the bamboo stick in his hand into the trash can as if shooting a basketball.

Lao Cai looked at his good friend suspiciously, "Look at his eyes, and the tone of his speech doesn't look like a younger brother at all, you are clearly teasing him."

Xiao Chenghao didn't deny it, "Old Cai, do you still remember what I told you before, after my father died, I was taken in by my high school head teacher?"

Lao Cai suddenly realized, "You mean... Guan Meng is the son of your homeroom teacher?"

Xiao Chenghao nodded.

"Didn't you say that you lost contact later?"

"That's right. I've tried to find him many times, but all to no avail. But I didn't expect that I would meet him again in a hotel by chance some time ago. I was quite surprised at the time."

"Did he recognize you?"

"No." Thinking of this Xiao Chenghao felt a little uncomfortable, and snorted softly, "He even gave me my mobile phone."

Lao Cai laughed loudly, "Then what's the situation now?"

After a moment of silence, Xiao Chenghao finally spoke: "He doesn't seem to recognize me yet. Maybe I've changed too much over the years, after all, I haven't seen him for 9 years."

"Then why didn't you just tell him?"

"Originally, I planned to let him realize it slowly."

"Then he can't find out all the time, don't you just keep telling him?"

Xiao Chenghao didn't answer, he had some concerns of his own, but he didn't know how to tell Lao Cai about these things.

Seeing him like this, Lao Cai didn't try to force others to make things difficult for him. He waved his hands impatiently, "Oh, forget it, you can take care of your own affairs, I don't bother to talk to you."

Xiao Chenghao stayed in the gallery until he got off work. It was an employee's birthday today. Lao Cai invited everyone out to dinner to celebrate, and Xiao Chenghao shamelessly followed.On the surface, it was just for dinner, but in fact, he wanted to find a chance to get along with Guan Mengduo for a while.

After dinner, everyone sang K straight down. At eleven o'clock, Guan Meng was so sleepy that he decided to go back first.

Lao Cai suddenly called him back, "Xiao Guan, it's so late, let Ah Hao see you off, anyway, he's on his way."

Xiao Chenghao caught Lao Cai's sneaky glance at him, nodded, straightened his clothes, and stood up from the sofa, "I plan to go back too."

"That's just right, let Brother Hao give me a ride too!" Lao Cai's employee, Le Zai, yelled and wanted to follow, but was immediately dragged back by their boss.

"Go get in the way of what others are doing, sit down for me! Take my car back later." Lao Cai took a microphone and stuffed it into his hand, "Come on stage and sing a song for me to listen to."

"I won't sing, I have to go back early." Le Zai put the microphone on the table.

"Do you dare to go now? Believe it or not, I will break your legs." Boss Cai, who was still talking and laughing a moment ago, immediately changed into a threatening tone of the underworld.

Le Zai picked up the microphone and rushed to the stage, "Isn't it just singing! What's so rare about me, Le Zai?"

Lao Cai smoked a cigarette, happily took out his mobile phone, and sent a message to Xiao Chenghao: Remember to treat me to dinner next time.

"You kept yawning when you were having dinner just now, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" Xiao Chenghao asked Guan Meng, holding the steering wheel in his hand and staring at the road ahead.

The people beside him remained silent, Xiao Chenghao turned his head to look at him, Guan Meng had already fallen asleep on the back of the chair.Xiao Chenghao stopped disturbing him and silently turned off the music in the car.

Guan Meng didn't know how long he had slept. When he opened his eyes in a daze, Xiao Chenghao's car had already parked downstairs of the rental house. He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was already early morning After one o'clock, he remembered that he left Room K around 11:30...

"It's been so long, why didn't you wake me up?"

"I see that you seem very tired, so I just want you to sleep for a while." There was a strong aroma of coffee in the carriage. Xiao Chenghao bought hot coffee at some point, and he handed it to Guan Meng. A glass passed, "Do you want to drink?"

"I don't like coffee."

"Too bitter?"

Guan Meng nodded.

"This cup is hot cocoa."

Guan Meng lowered his eyes, staring at the hot drink in Xiao Chenghao's hand, and after a while, slowly stretched out his hand to catch it.

"I just bought it, and it's still hot." It could be heard that Xiao Chenghao wanted Guan Meng to drink the drink while it was still hot.

Guan Meng opened the lid, handed it to his mouth and blew gently, and took a sip.

A big strong hand stretched out from the opposite side, caressed his eyelids, and touched lightly around his eye frame, "The dark circles under the eyes are a bit obvious, haven't you had a good rest recently?"

Faced with the sudden touch, Guan Meng was a little at a loss, he deliberately turned his eyes away from looking at Xiao Chenghao, gave a soft "um", and replied: "I've been staying up late to watch dramas for the past few days, I'll go up first, goodbye. "

Before Xiao Chenghao could reply, Guan Meng hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door, got out of the car and left.Looking at the back, Xiao Chenghao felt a little lost, but when he was far away and saw Guan Meng hanging the dachshund doll he gave him on the key, his gloomy mood suddenly brightened again.

Lin Tianruo and Xiao Chenghao sent a bunch of harassing messages in the middle of the night, saying that the finished film of the advertisement had come out, let him have a look.

Xiao Chenghao picked the one he was most satisfied with and sent it to Guan Meng's WeChat.

——Is the suit advertisement shot for a friend today handsome?

- smug

Guan Meng snickered at the screen, and quietly saved the photo to his phone.

--why are not you sleeping?

——I just went to take a shower, now I’m going to bed.

After drying his feet, Guan Meng went back to bed, turned off the light in the room and prepared to go to bed.Just lying in bed, a gust of cold wind blows in, only to find that the window is not closed properly, so I quickly get out of bed and run to close it again.Inadvertently, Guan Meng glanced downstairs, and suddenly found a very familiar silver Land Rover parked below, it was Xiao Chenghao's car, why hasn't he left yet?

Guan Meng picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Xiao Chenghao: Are you home yet?

Xiao Chenghao quickly sent a reply: Here we are.

Guan Meng looked downstairs again, and the Land Rover started the engine and left. He felt that he might have misidentified the car, maybe it was someone else's Land Rover.

--What's wrong?

——No, I’m just asking.

Guan Meng returned to the bed and wrapped himself tightly with the quilt.

——Well, go to bed early, good night

Guan Meng stared at the last two words, and after sending them for a while, he typed the same two words in the input field and sent them.

--Good night

ACT18

"Are you sure it's his car?" Fang Jin asked on the phone.

"I wasn't sure about it the first time, but he's driven me a few times since then and each time he waited until my house turned off the lights before driving away."

"Why are you so sure it's him?"

"I saw it with a telescope. Once he got out of the car and went to a convenience store to buy something."

"Wait, you mean you bought a pair of binoculars to spy on him?"

"This is not peeping." Guan Meng refused to accept, and clarified: "I did it to find out if it was him or not."

"An ordinary person would deliberately wait downstairs until the other person turns off the lights and goes to sleep before leaving. Either he is a pervert, or he is interested in you."

"I don't think he looks like a pervert."

"Who can see this kind of thing, well, just treat it as my overthinking, let's rule out the possibility that he is a pervert, let's discuss the second situation, do you think that Ah Hao is interested in you?"

Guan Meng thought about it carefully. Xiao Chenghao had indeed treated him very well from the very beginning. He helped him regardless of previous suspicions, introduced him to new jobs, often invited him to dinner, and sometimes sent him messages to chat, but In addition, Xiao Chenghao didn't seem to have done anything out of bounds, so Guan Meng was not sure what he was thinking.

Fang Jin asked again: "Then how do you feel about him? Do you have any feelings?"

"I am not sure."

"Huh? What is unclear? Don't you even know what you're thinking?"

how to say?Guan Meng has a good impression of Xiao Chenghao, and he has a good impression of him. After all, he is handsome, rich and well-behaved, at least according to his observations so far.

"He and I are just normal friends, I didn't think about that."

"Then do you want to start thinking about it now?"

"Didn't you just say that he might be a pervert?"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Fang Jin laughed over there, and then persuaded Guan Meng in a serious tone: "If you have good resources, you must seize them. Let me tell you, like this Such high-quality men with good conditions are very sought-after, you see, you are 25-[-], and you are not ugly, but you have never even been in a relationship, can you make sense of it?"

"Who said I haven't been in love, when I was in high school..."

Fang Jin immediately interrupted: "Let's forget about the unrequited love in our youth, don't bring it up."

Guan Meng pursed his lips depressedly.

"Guan Meng! Come here!" Le Zai stood in front of the betting window and waved to Guan Meng.

"Okay, right away!" Guan Meng nodded, and said to Fang Jin on the other end of the phone: "I won't tell you anymore, let's talk later."

"Where are you? When I called you just now, your side has been very noisy. "

"Outside with friends, let's go first, break up."

After hanging up, Guan Meng put the phone back in his pocket and went to Lezi
