Growth pain

After this meal, Yuan Sen would ask Lu Shining to go out every now and then, and would block people at his door if he didn't agree, and even made unreasonable demands like "Can't you give me a key?"

Lu Shining asked him one day: "Do you have nothing to do now?"

Yuan Senyi Le, "You know again?"

Lu Shining looked at him, "I just know."

There used to be times like this too, when on Saturdays and Sundays there would be a day when two people would get together to waste the daylight.Yuan Sen never lacks friends, but Lu Shining must be the most special one, quiet, well-behaved, and will give him warmth when appropriate.Although Lu Shining knew many things clearly, as long as Yuan Sen didn't take the initiative to mention it, he wouldn't be curious.Or have curiosity but never ask out of the mouth.

Lu Shining is a doll made of cotton, so soft that anyone can manipulate it, silently bearing and digesting all other people's pain.

The weather became hotter and hotter, Yuansen finally got busy in July and stopped appearing frequently in front of Lu Shining.

In the dark night, Zhang Lei at the barbecue booth asked, "Why do you feel so tired recently, and your manager asked you to work overtime again?"

Lu Shining said, "You've gained a lot of weight recently."

Zhang Lei: "..."

"Did you eat too much meat?"

"..."

"Let's eat less."

Zhang Lei silently swallowed the breath stuck in his throat, "Did you always ask you to go out when you were young?"

He was just short of writing the word gossip on his face.

Lu Shining took a sip of the soda, the bubbles exploded on the tip of his tongue, causing a slight tingling pain.

"Nothing."

"You go out when he asks you?" Zhang Lei said while biting the meat skewers.

Lu Shining thought for a while, "Not at all."

"Oh?" Zhang Lei's tone rose, sounding unusually harsh, "Then tell me how many times you have rejected him."

Lu Shining took another sip of soda, bit into a string of roasted beans and chewed slowly.

"No, not once?" Zhang Lei poked his face closer.

Straight men never know what a safe distance is. Although Lu Shining is not tempted by the bamboo pole in front of him, it doesn't mean that Zhang Lei can pass his greasy mouth forward.

Lu Shining turned away and said, "He knows where my home is."

"That's right." Zhang Lei said in his mouth, but glanced at him, obviously not thinking so in his heart.

Lu Shining successfully ate a bunch of roasted beans, Zhang Lei said again: "I said, is he also interested in you?"

Fortunately, I finished eating, otherwise I would definitely choke.

The corners of Lu Shining's mouth widened into a smile, appropriate and sincere, his eyebrows and eyes curled up to look unbecoming, in short, it matched the current situation very abruptly.

Zhang Lei put on a half-serious expression, "I'm serious, otherwise why would he always look for you, and even go to your house on purpose."

"He's that kind of guy."

"Really? That's not necessarily it, it's only for you."

Zhang Lei, as a single young man who didn't get a girlfriend in college and didn't find a partner after graduation, analyzed love in a logical manner.

Lu Shining was obviously taken aback, but quickly denied, "You think too much."

"Then try it." Zhang Lei said enthusiastically.

"How to try?"

"Call him and tell him to come out."

"He's been busy with work recently."

Zhang Lei said with a bored face: "You are quite good at accommodating others. When they came to you, did they ever think that you have been busy all day?"

Lu Shining: "I understand, what you mean is that I shouldn't accompany you out for barbecue today."

Zhang Lei immediately laughed along with him: "Oh, I can't say that. It's really an honor for you to come to my appointment in your busy schedule!"

After a while Zhang Lei didn't give up, "Don't you really want to try?"

Lu Shining's cell phone was placed on the table, and the light fell into his eyes when he tapped on the screen.

Zhang Lei continued to encourage: "Let's make an appointment, this is the beginning of the month, I have treated guests today, and there is no such shop in this village."

Lu Shining repeated: "You treat me."

Zhang Lei added in time: "I don't drink alcohol." He was afraid of being drunk by Yuan Sen.

The moment Lu Shining dialed the phone, he couldn't help but ask himself what he was doing.But the connection between them will not be broken. He has to do both of pretending not to like and pretending to be friends. Since they are friends, he should take the initiative to contact occasionally.

The phone was connected quickly, and Yuan Sen called out "Little Deer" naturally.

Lu Shining subconsciously straightened his back, sitting upright like an elementary school student under the podium.

"Where are you now?" he asked.

Well, this sentence is a bit like what my girlfriend Cha Gang would say.

Not suitable.

Can it be withdrawn?

"Why do you ask me where I am? Shouldn't you tell me what you called first?" Yuan Sen also noticed it, and asked a little funny.

"Want to come out for dinner? Zhang Lei treats you." Under the dark sky at ten o'clock at night, Lu Shining said this very smoothly.

"Okay, I'll go there right away." Yuan Sen readily agreed, "Tell me the place and come right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shining put the phone flat on the table.

"He agreed?" Zhang Lei asked.

"Come here in a while."

"What do you think?"

Lu Shining was extremely sober and said, "Maybe you're not particularly busy today."

"Have a little confidence in yourself, and your conditions are not bad, maybe you just get along day and night and find that you are right..." Zhang Lei said in a softer voice, "Men can do it too."

Lu Shining didn't blame him, the two of them had almost eaten before Yuan Sen came late.

There was only one bottom of the soda bottle left on the table, the man sat down between the two of them, picked it up and drank it without asking.

Zhang Lei winked at Lu Shining who was opposite, but Lu Shining pretended not to look away.

It's nothing to drink a bottle of drink together, they have kissed before, although it was just an accident.

"I'm sorry I'm late, I'll treat you to this meal." Yuan Sen said to Zhang Lei, turned his head to talk to Lu Shining, and whispered into his ear, "It was almost halfway through eating before I remembered to call me, okay You Lu Shining."

Lu Shining subconsciously rubbed his feet outside with a guilty conscience, pretending to be calm, "I didn't eat half of it..."

Yuan Sen narrowed his eyes slightly, and interrupted: "I don't know you yet?"

Zhang Lei felt a bit regretful that he had called the third person. The two people on the opposite side completely ignored him and began to make small talk. He observed while eating the cold skewers lonely.

When Yuan Sen remembered that there was someone on the opposite side, the first sentence was: "Would you like some wine?"

Zhang Lei: "...I can't do it."

Yuan Sen was in a good mood and ordered a few more dishes, took the same soda that Lu Shining drank just now, turned around and said, "If you don't call me, I will have to rush to work until midnight today."

Lu Shining said, "Did you skip work?"

"It doesn't count, Pei Twenty is still there."

Lu Shining often listened to Yuan Sen talking on the phone a while ago, so he knew a little about his current work.Pei Er and Yin Hao are both Yuan Sen's university classmates, but they returned to China to develop after graduation. Yuan Sen didn't come back immediately, and now they are drawn into the gang by two people when they come back.

It is said that he is engaged in software development, but Lu Shining really does not look like a serious programmer when he sees Yuan Sen's leisurely spirit before.Later, his conjecture was proved—it was really not serious, these few people were not short of money, and the company was opened by two other people's family.Yuan Sen also saved a lot of money before returning to China, and had his own savings, not to mention that his father didn't care what he did, as he was the only son in the family, as long as he could live in peace and not cause trouble.

Lu Shining didn't ask why Yuan Sen didn't come back.Compared with this incident, he was more curious about why Yuansen came back.

But he still didn't ask.

##

At the end of this supper, it was Yuan Sen who paid the bill. Taking advantage of the time when the man left, Zhang Lei immediately moved to the seat next to Lu Shining, and said categorically, "It's definitely interesting for you to be young!"

Lu Shining was peeling salted peanuts in his hand, stuffing them into his mouth one by one, his fingertips were wet.

Seeing Lu Shining's unconcerned look, Zhang Lei was very unwilling, so he stretched out his hand and tore off his arm, and the peanut fell off.

Lu Shining looked straight over, Zhang Lei began to peel, "I'll peel it for you, I'll peel it for you."

Then he said, "Did you hear me?"

"heard it."

Zhang Lei handed over the peanuts in his hand, and Lu Shining said, "Eat it yourself."

Zhang Lei put the peanuts in his mouth, "Isn't this interesting to you? Look, pour the soda for you, peel the peanuts for you, and hold the paper towels for you..."

Lu Shining naturally continued: "Take care of me like you take care of your younger brother."

Zhang Lei swallowed the peanuts, "It doesn't matter then."

He asked again: "Does he treat others like this? You are his child, you should know it."

Lu Shining pinched the shell of the peanut, and the excess water overflowed to his round and neatly cut nails.

He is clear, so there will always be extravagant hopes in his heart.
