──People always have secrets that cannot be revealed.

"What's the matter?"

Fang Tiejun smiled mysteriously, "Guess."

Ke Xiaoxi thought for a while, "How do you guess, give me a hint."

"It's about opening a restaurant."

"Hmm - your mother called, and it has something to do with your restaurant...Auntie wants to come over to help you?"

Fang Tiejun shook his head, "A person in her 50s, how can she help me?"

"That's... Seeing your wretched expression, does it have anything to do with money?"

Fang Tiejun smiled noncommittally, and called the waiter to order first.

"Did your mother give you money?"

The waiter left with the menu, and Ke Xiaoxi continued to ask.

Fang Tiejun shook his head again, "My mother sent the money to my card, but it was my money from selling the house, not from her."

Ke Xiaoxi was taken aback, "Sell the house?"

"Well, I have my own house in my hometown. At that time, I bought it with the money I earned from opening a restaurant. The house was quite cheap back then, and it has been turned over a lot over the years."

"But it's a pity to sell the house now, isn't it? Besides, what if..." Ke Xiaoxi's eyes wandered and stopped.

"The hotel lost money?" Fang Tiejun finished the sentence for him.

Ke Xiaoxi nodded.

Fang Tiejun smiled, "How can there be a business that can make a profit without losing money? No matter how big or small a business is, there are always risks. If you look forward and look backward, you can't do anything."

"Hmm..." Ke Xiaoxi turned the tea cup in her hand and thought for a while, "Then how big a restaurant do you plan to open? A restaurant?"

"Of course not. I want to make private dishes, which are unique, more cost-effective, can be delivered, and can develop into chain stores in the future."

"How many will you open first?"

"Of course it's a family. This has to be done slowly."

"That doesn't need too much money. You can just borrow it from a friend. Why not sell the house? If you have a house, you will have a place to stay."

"The boss is not young, and it's not a life-saving money. If you can solve it yourself, it's better not to cause trouble for others. Besides, my classmates and friends are almost all married. They may not be willing to borrow their wives. Borrowing money It’s not always a comfortable thing.”

Ke Xiaoxi curled her lips, "I've been thinking a lot. Let's borrow it from my family and do serious business. Uncle and aunt will definitely support you."

Fang Tiejun smiled wryly, "Let's not talk about whether my dad likes me to open a restaurant. I just left home this time. I remember telling you that I came to Beijing because I broke up with the old man."

"You did. But why? It's so serious. Just tell me."

"Um……"

"Don't want me to know?"

"There's nothing I don't want people to know, it's just... too embarrassing."

"Come on, be brave, I just love to hear embarrassment."

"Ba Poxi is worthy of being Ba Poxi."

At this time, the waiter came to serve the food, and Fang Tiejun moved the teapot and cup on the table.

When the waiter left, Ke Xiaoxi stuffed a dish with chopsticks into her mouth, "Say, am I waiting?"

Fang Tiejun looked at his dishes, "You don't need boiling water to sterilize?"

"I did it before you came."

Fang Tiejun also picked up the chopsticks, "I told you that my dad is very strict with me, and he doesn't like me everywhere, remember?"

"Well, remember."

"Since I was young, my relationship with my dad has never been very good. I can't stand his autocracy and his military style. He can't stand my rebellion and idleness. So after I got a house, I rarely went back to my parents' house. Seeing me grow up day by day, my dad felt that he couldn't control me too much, so he simply didn't care about me in the past few years when I worked honestly. I used to live a happy and carefree life. But, life That’s it, if you’re walking on the road well, you’ll be left with a big hole when your foot falls, and you’ll be caught off guard. Sigh──Thinking about it, it’s my fault.”

"Huh? What's wrong?" Ke Xiaoxi hurriedly asked Fang Tiejun while he stopped to drink water.

"Before I came to Beijing, I once had a drink with a group of friends. A friend brought his friend. I didn't know him, but he was good-looking, and I could tell at a glance that he had a problem with his sexual orientation, so After drinking, we left each other's phone calls. I guess he also saw me. Then...you don't need to tell me, you know what happened. Later, I met a few times. At first, I didn't think much about it. I thought it was the same as before. As an ordinary friend with sex, it’s over after a few new appointments. But it’s impossible to think, that buddy was about to get married at the time, and his fiancée turned out to be the daughter of my father’s old comrade-in-arms. Don’t you think this is cheating? In the past, my dad and his old comrades had dinner at the same table. In fact, the younger sister originally suspected that her fiancé had another woman outside, but... I don’t want to go into details. Anyway, I finally found out that it was me. It reached my dad's ears. If my mom hadn't tried her best to stop me that day, I would probably have been torn to pieces."

After listening to Fang Tiejun's words, Ke Xiaoxi hung her head and remained silent, reaching out to reach for the teacup.

Fang Tiejun held him down, "Just laugh if you want to, don't expect to be able to suppress it with tea, and then choke."

"Pfft—hahahahahaha..." Ke Xiaoxi thumped the table and laughed.

Fang Tiejun ignored him and ate his food expressionlessly.

Ke Xiaoxi laughed enough, raised her head and coughed twice, "Uh cough──did your family know that you were G before this happened?"

"Of course I don't know. But my mother asked me several times in private: Is there any unspeakable problem. I denied it, and she didn't ask any more questions."

"So that's how it is." Ke Xiaoxi nodded, "No wonder you have to hide so far away. But..."

"what?"

"I don't have a father. I don't know what kind of father is a good father. But I want to talk about this matter alone. Uncle Fang should be angry. Even if you don't leave, he will not do anything to you in the end."

"It won't do anything to me. But to be honest, I'm not afraid of my dad, but I think this kind of thing will definitely be used by many people who don't know me as a chat after dinner. It's okay if I just come out of the closet Yes, but... why do you think it is so small? Anyway, I really can’t stay in my hometown. Oh, don’t talk about this anymore, let’s talk about something else.”

"Alright." Xiaoxi put the chopsticks into her front teeth and bit them twice, "Then let me ask you: Are you short of money now?"

"It's okay, there is no shortage. Why do you ask?"

"I think...you need money to open a restaurant, and you need more money when you expand and open chain stores in the future. So, should you start saving money?"

The question was a bit weird, Fang Tiejun snorted, "If you have to save money to open a chain store, then it doesn't make sense if the store can't open. Of course, you need to use the money you earn from opening the store to open a chain store." .”

"Well... well, actually, I just want to say: It's a waste of renting a house by yourself, why not..." Ke Xiaoxi bit her lower lip hard, "It's better to just move back to my house."

Fang Tiejun's eyes widened, "Did I hear you right?"

"Why...why are you so surprised?" Ke Xiaoxi's face was a little hot when he saw it like this.

"You don't think I've ruined the house?"

"You can change it."

"..."

After a while, Ke Xiaoxi saw that Fang Tiejun remained silent.

"I'm joking with you, you don't need to change anything."

"I know." Fang Tiejun lit a cigarette.

"Then why are you pretending to be deep? You still have a painful expression on your face."

"I can't move to your house yet."

"Why?" Ke Xiaoxi was a little surprised.

Fang Tiejun continued with his painful expression, "Well... because...how should I put it?"

"Needless to say, I understand." Ke Xiaoxi changed his face and interrupted him in time.Fang Tiejun's already slow speech speed combined with his hesitant tone sounded particularly harsh at this time.Ke Xiaoxi lowered her head and began to eat seriously, and stopped talking.

Fang Tiejun wanted to explain a few words, but after thinking about it, he might not be able to explain clearly for a while, so he didn't say anything more.

The second half of the meal was silent and awkward.

The more Ke Xiaoxi thought about it, the more unhappy she became: Yesterday she said that she wanted to "determine a long-term and stable relationship" with me, it was obviously a lie!How else would you refuse to live with me?Why do I still have to refuse?Obviously just want to play casually!I'm so full and so cheap!Why do you want to say something about moving directly there? !

Fang Tiejun wanted to open his mouth several times, but he looked up to see Ke Xiaoxi's livid face, and swallowed back the words when he reached his mouth.

After dinner, the two went out together.

Ke Xiaoxi originally planned to take Fang Tiejun to the company to see the film that was about to be edited after dinner, but now he stood at the door of the hotel and just said "Then I'm going back to the company" and walked directly in the direction of the company.

"Xiaoxi!" Fang Tiejun called him to stop.

Ke Xiaoxi stopped and turned her head expressionlessly, "What are you doing?"

"Don't work overtime too late, pay attention to your body."

"Oh, I see."

With a promise, Ke Xiaoxi turned around and continued walking towards the company. Fang Tiejun stood still and watched the back disappear from his sight, and then sighed heavily: Ke Xiaoxi said just now that he was very happy to let him move in, and he also wanted to retire. Go straight past the house.But……

After standing in a daze for a long time, Fang Tiejun took out his phone and fiddled with the screen for a while, then he locked the phone again and put it back in his pocket.
