are afraid.

Fear and rejection come from ignorance.

Li Xiangrong thought he wanted to understand something, but he didn't understand anything. A boy in his early twenties could not talk about career or love. He only had a heart that was easily stirred up and worried.

Buroni stood downstairs and called him. The courtyard is very empty now, and even the weeds are cleaned up thanks to Master Lu and Anton. Withered yellow grass tips and light green pool water, Buroni raised his head and looked at the grass. Balcony, with a serious and gentle expression.

"Shall we go have breakfast?" Buroni smiled brightly, "My mother made delicious bread."

Having breakfast with the mistress of the house, Li Xiangrong never thought about it before. Seeing his hesitation, Buroni explained, "Well, the bread is left over from yesterday. My mother is going to see Sister Bai. Come down. I have something to tell you."

There is no excuse for that.

Li Xiangrong said, "Wait until I wash my face."

Bruni simply ran to the stairs, and went straight into the small room a few seconds later, helped him turn off the air conditioner, and urged them to go out together.

"What do you think?" Buroni preemptively spoke before Li Xiangrong, who was hesitant to speak.

"Me," Li Xiangrong thought about it for a while, but Bulangni's eyes were burning, and he couldn't stay any longer.

"Maybe I like you." This sentence made Li Xiangrong's face flush immediately, but his eyes didn't move away.

Bruni said happily, "I like you too, that's just right!"

What happened?

Li Xiangrong has always understood his slow and cowardly nature, and compared to his slowness, he has a kind of stupidity. He can't lie because he has never experienced the joy of lying.

And Buroni has always understood that he is a bit arrogant and self-willed in the eyes of others. Compared with arrogance, he will not play tricks and take pleasure in deception. From this point of view, the two share the advantage of being frank, admitting feelings, Not difficult.

It is difficult to explain when and where the temptations and entanglements started, but the occasional impulse is not a bad thing.

I like you, you like me, so sunny and happy?

The sun at this moment is indeed bright, and the hearts of the two of them are indeed like flowers blooming, bright and joyful.

The author has something to say: I finally confessed my love, wiped my sweat, I have been waiting for a long time~

Feng Yifan packed up his things and was about to leave Rongcheng. Before he left, He Zhishan made a meal of practice wine. After he got a daughter, he completely became a 24-year-old father. The coldness and arrogance that haunted him before disappeared completely. He showed a silly smile, which made everyone laugh secretly.

He Zhishan took a vacation of course, Feng Yifan left again, there was no one in the huge Bu family kitchen except Li Xiangrong, Master Lu suddenly aged several years, and he was a little dazed when drinking.

Bu Wei sighed and told everyone that the business should be suspended for a period of time. He is still trying to find a way to raise funds. Mr. Xu has poached Tao Xingming and An Dong, so naturally he will not give up halfway.

Now that the business is suspended, the only employees of course have a big vacation. Li Xiangrong insists on staying and helping with some chores. The courtyard is empty and the north wind is blowing. This is a cold winter that the Bu family has never encountered before. Li Xiangrong doesn't know how to comfort him. Buroni, who was in a hurry, could only do his best to do his own thing well.

The word "like" is not heavy, and it can be said to many people without any scruples, but Li Xiangrong will take it seriously and print these two words on his heart. He is a child with no strings in his head. Things that come to mind will go all out and seriously.

But what Li Xiangrong can do is limited after all. Bruni likes him and doesn't expect him to be of much help.He Zhishan and Bu Wei promised to return to work at any time, but the most important issue now is still being suppressed.

Unspoken rules are a word that has been used badly. Unfair competition has never been uncommon. However, the Bu family is so embarrassed that they have to say that there is something wrong with their usual style. Serving the rich and powerful with delicious food, this kind of love is too unbearable test.

Zheng Hao lingered in the capital for a long time, and did not come back until two weeks later. He immediately called Buroni and excitedly invited him for a small gathering. Buroni thought about it and asked if he could bring Li Xiangrong with him. Zheng Hao said readily, "Take him with you." Come on, Su Yuan is back too."

Zheng Haoding’s place is a well-known old teahouse in Rongcheng. People in Rongcheng love making teahouses. There are three teachings, nine streams, and 72 lines. They all regard teahouses as a good place for friends to gather. Setting up dragon gate arrays, drinking tea, watching operas, listening to Sanda, and playing mahjong are all their daily passions. recreational activities.

Especially in the old teahouses with a long history, those bamboo armchairs, small square tables, three-piece tea sets with head covers, tiger stoves, copper pots, and the waiter’s effort to refill water are all classic and timeless flavors of Rongcheng, attracting many locals And foreign tourists who come here admiringly.

When Li Xiangrong was a child, the lo-mei shop at home was basically open from noon to night. His father and helpers went to bring back chicken, duck and beef early in the morning, and his mother led the workers to clean and process them. They cooked and sold them at noon. In the morning, I sneaked to the teahouse to soak for a while, chatting and playing chess with the neighbors, drinking a few cups of cheap tea, and Li Xiangrong stopped by the teahouse after school to find his father and go home together, enjoying himself.

But after Li Xiangrong came to Rongcheng, he had never been in such an exquisite high-end teahouse. He rubbed his face and followed Buroni to walk in slowly. This teahouse is located behind several large shopping malls, surrounded by a high brick wall Made of old blue bricks, a curved arch is engraved with simple patterns, and a tall wooden threshold is shiny and shiny.History and modernity are linked, yet distinctly separated.

A couplet is engraved on the brick wall at the entrance, "Tianfu snacks, taste the ups and downs of the world; copper pots and bowls, taste how cool the world is." (Note)

Entering through the arch is a small corridor along the wall and facing the courtyard. Red lanterns are hung, and the welcoming lady in cheongsam walks all the way in flowers and willows. A wooden sign engraved with the history of the teahouse is looming in the verdant vegetation. Along the way, there are reliefs engraved on the walls, such as Linjiang ancient town, market courtyards, old waterscapes and other folk customs of Rongcheng.There is a stream of clear water in the corner of the courtyard, there is an old bridge on the water, and there are two big white geese in the water.

Li Xiangrong sighed in surprise, and Buroni smiled, "You probably want to eat foie gras, right?" Interesting." Buroni said by the way, "I heard an old joke, a Chinese watched the movie "Jaws" in the United States, and the Americans shouted that it was terrible, so terrible, and he drooled and said, what a big shark fin ah!"

Li Xiangrong said, "Aren't you Chinese?" He kept it in his mouth, but he didn't say it after all.

The two walked into a small private room, Zheng Hao and Su Yuan also just arrived, sat around the table of the old Eight Immortals, ordered Bitan Piaoxue, there was a layer of beige jasmine on the top of the covered bowl, and the light green tea leaves at the bottom of the cup could only be seen when blown open , It is pleasing to the eyes, smells the fragrance, and takes a sip, it is even more mellow and sweet.

Although the temperature in Rongcheng is not too low in winter, it is cold and humid, and it is rare to see the sun. A pot of charcoal fire is lit in the small room, the red light is shining, the warmth is overwhelming, and there is a special fragrance. Pot looked at it for a long time, and sighed, "This is interesting, we can learn from it."

The tea guests sitting in the hall lifted the lid of the teapot, and a clever tea doctor in Tang suit turned a large copper pot with a one-meter-long spout and filled it with boiling water, performing "Dragon Exploring the Sea" and "Flying Fairy". Juggling movements such as "boy worshiping Guanyin", turning around and pouring boiling water into the tea bowl a few feet away from the spout, the water does not overflow, it is amazing, the onlookers often clap their hands loudly to add to the fun, and the whole hall is lively extraordinary.

The guests sitting in the small private rooms often want to talk about business, and want to be quiet and secluded. The hot water bottle is right in front of them, and they need to ring the bell to call the waiter.

Su Yuan grabbed Zheng Hao's shoulder and said that he was a little hungry. Zheng Hao ordered snacks in a loud voice, such as egg baked cakes, northern Sichuan jelly, scallop radish crisps, mugwort leaf cake, sugar oil fruit, lung slices, small pot helmets, small Steamed beef in a cage, dan dan noodles, glutinous glutinous rice balls, three big cannons, everything you expect to find and served together.

Bu Langni smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, I plan to treat you to dinner later, what should I do if I'm full now?" Su Yuan looked at his watch and said, "My breakfast is almost 10 o'clock, and now it's exactly 3 o'clock. Afternoon tea, your dinner waits until nine o'clock, let's have a barbecue~"

Zheng Hao quickly responded, "I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time. I heard that there is a restaurant that is delicious. I haven't been there yet. Why don't I go today."

The table was filled with small dishes, and Su Yuan said in satisfaction, "No matter how long you stay outside, you still can't forget the taste of your hometown."

Li Xiangrong asked curiously, "Did Brother Yuan work in other places before?"

Su Yuan smiled and said, "Yeah, I just came back from Africa. The project over there is over, and I wanted to run away." He glanced at Zheng Hao—the look in his eyes made Li Xiangrong feel a little familiar and Some strange feelings, "This kid insists on me staying, so I just want to study for a few more years and talk about it later."

Bu Langni said, "Brother Yuan, what major do you study? Are you taking the exam in Rongcheng?"

Su Yuan shook his head, "I came from the Department of Animal Husbandry of a third-rate university, and I only learned something after working in the zoo for a few years. I want to be a graduate student in your school. Zheng Hao helped me contact my supervisor, who is Professor Le Zhengchun."

He had probably heard about Su Yuan before, and Buroni didn't ask too much. The aura between Zheng Hao and Su Yuan was so blatant that it was hard for people to ignore it deliberately.

Buroni only heard Li Xiangrong say enviously, "I also want to work for a few years and then find a chance to study. I still need to study systematically..."

Su Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, the outline was deep, and there was a feeling of radiance. Zheng Hao lowered his head to refill him with tea, his face was handsome and gentle, and Bu Langni raised his eyes to look out the window, with an elegant and noble posture, No matter how dull Li Xiangrong was, he couldn't help but feel deeply inferior to his ordinaryness. He silently picked up a piece of three big cannons and ate them. These three big cannons were made of steamed glutinous rice. Use a wooden mallet to mash good glutinous rice into glutinous rice cakes, pull out a ball while it is hot and divide it into three lumps, and beat them out rhythmically. Cannons rang.Every three glutinous rice cakes are made into a plate, poured with brown sugar and sprinkled with sesame seeds, hence the name.

The raw materials of the three cannons are only glutinous rice, brown sugar, sesame, soybeans, etc., which can be regarded as pure vegetarian food.Li Xiangrong was enjoying his meal, Zheng Hao put a plate of caged meat in front of him, and Buroni stretched out his chopsticks first.

Is this silent thoughtfulness?Li Xiangrong smiled wryly. Every time he wanted to stand side by side with Buroni and face difficulties together, there would always be someone or something inadvertently reminding them that they did not exist in the same world at all, and whenever he was timid in silence When he was down, Buroni always made him feel warm with care and tenderness that others could not detect.

Li Xiangrong couldn't confidently show his presence like Su Yuan or Chen Zhiqing. In his eyes, they were all figures that he couldn't reach. The circle was beckoning to him, but he never thought of responding.

Even if he admits his heart, he doesn't intend to disclose his feelings to others, and he doesn't want to let others watch or participate. Whether he agrees or disagrees, that's his business alone, and even Buroni doesn't need to participate more.

He is either grateful or responding, but he doesn't have enough courage, or he doesn't have the concept of "courage".

But now, he really wanted to do something for Buroni, but it seemed that Buroni had no intention of entrusting him with any important matters other than taking him for leisure.

The Bu family has closed down. As a chef, what else can he do?

Note: The old teahouse described in the article is the famous Old Shunxing Teahouse in Chengdu. Those who are interested can go to it when traveling~~~

33.

While eating, Su Yuan said to Zheng Hao, "Aren't you guys busy? Don't bother eating?"

Zheng Hao smiled, "You are the only one who concentrates on eating." His smile was so sweet and natural that Buroni was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, let's get down to business," Zheng Hao nodded to Bu Langni, "You guys are gone, I went around the capital again, and went to a lot of good shops, and now there is a popular concept of 'theme restaurants', you Any ideas?"

Buroni pondered, "The so-called theme culture is mainly highlighted through the environment created by architectural style, decoration design, and interior decoration... It depends on how unique the ingenuity is, and the concept is not too novel..."

"Hehe, the most important thing in a restaurant is the dishes," Zheng Hao laughed again, "Actually, palace dishes, official dishes, and private kitchen dishes all follow the theme route, but the scenes in the capital are of course more fresh. Our style in Rongcheng is There is more than enough leisure, but not enough extravagance."

Bu Langni disagreed, "Perhaps the civilian style will last long. Our Bu family has always regarded itself as high-end. The seniors are also aware of the current situation. If we still insist on the noble line, I am afraid it will be a dead end."

Zheng Hao patted his thigh and said with a smile, "Lonnie, Su Yuan and I have gone to several themed restaurants, some of which are martial arts-style. Needless to say, the decoration is wonderful. The recipes and the dining process are wonderful. What's the 'Daliwan' in the dishes?" Ruanjinsan' ah 'Sunflower Collection' is like lion head beef tendon chowder. The ingredients and taste are only average, but customers like that tone; there is also a movie-themed restaurant, all dishes are made with movie names It is also very interesting; there is also a classic culture, the entire hall, the bookshelves are neatly placed full of books, many of which are classic versions of very old, you can find ancient and modern Chinese and foreign masterpieces, in the small private room There are piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, which give you enough freedom to enjoy them.”

Buroni lowered his head and thought for a while, "Just like this teahouse, it tried its best to show the folk customs and style of Tianfu..."

Zheng Haodao, "That's right. I've been to your house several times. In fact, your aristocratic style is ten percent. The courtyard, private rooms, tableware, and even the antiques and waiters' demeanor all show the richness of the official family. You are stylish, but there is always something wrong... I thought about it carefully, and I think it is a matter of temperament. During the Republic of China, even if your Bu family made a living by arranging banquets, the host should respect you as the host. If you are not sloppy in etiquette, you are not sloppy in your mind. Now, even if you or your father are present at every banquet, I always feel—to put it bluntly, like the owner of a Japanese restaurant. Reserved, you are just a food seller, not a respected master..."

Perhaps this was too straightforward, Brony was a little dazed for a moment, his face turned paler, Zheng Hao continued, "So I think there is some deviation in the positioning between you, your father, and the diners."

"The current diners are not celebrities, but gluttons. If you can't treat them as celebrities, you can't be a gentleman in their eyes." Zheng Hao stared into Buroni's eyes sincerely, "Why do small stalls and food stalls do so well? ?Because the small boss doesn’t need to think too much. As long as the food tastes good, guests will come to eat it. If you work hard, you will get something. Why is your huge government food declining? Because the people who support you don’t come? Because the people who support you People are just cheering, not loving you wholeheartedly!"

Buroni raised his head in astonishment, Zheng Hao's words seemed to be a sharp sword, piercing directly into his heart!

The official cuisine of the Bu family, which has always been proud, is really just relying on the help of others, instead of subduing the sincerity of the diners?

No matter how delicious the food is, you can’t stop it, and cultivating customer loyalty lies in exchanging hearts for hearts...

Zheng Hao wanted to say something else, but Su Yuan pulled him by the arm, and didn't talk nonsense about the hot scene, just handed a plate of egg cakes to Bu Lang Ni, and said with a smile, "I like this kind of white sugar and sesame, You try it?"

Buroni felt that he was sitting in the snow, shivering from the cold all over his body, as if he was resting on a charcoal basin, and his bones were about to be cracked. He has been working hard to do well, and he has always been strict with himself. He has enough self-confidence , He can contradict his father and master, he can control chefs and apprentices, he thinks that as long as he works hard, he should get something for granted... He regards all difficulties and obstacles as malicious provocations by enemies.

In fact, this is not the case, Bu Langni did nothing wrong, even his father and master would not think that he did anything wrong, they have dominated the Bu family for too long, and have been restrained by the Bu family for too long, they don't care It may be based on the perspective of ordinary diners - they design menus, only considering pomp and rules, to satisfy those who want to show off by taking advantage of Bujia's limelight; they cook delicacies, it is just programmed work or personality They no longer treat customers as sincere friends as before.

There is Jiayu in the south, which is full of steam.The gentleman has wine, and the guests are happy to swallow.Food should be treated as a good guest, the host is no longer a gentleman, and the visitor is no longer a guest.

Bu Langni's hands trembling when he took the egg baked cake, he bit off most of the pale yellow warm pancake, and the white sugar spilled like fine sand, Su Yuan beckoned you to take it, it would be a waste .

There was complete bitterness in Buroni's mouth, and he couldn't taste a trace of sweetness.

Li Xiangrong picked up the kettle to refill him with tea, the hot water washed away the jasmine, and the tender green tea leaves were like little birds, swimming happily in the tea bowl, Buroni was fascinated by the fact that the small cup turned out to be another The world, leisurely, uncontested.

Zheng Hao didn't feel that his words were too much, he just felt that the psychological endurance of the elementary school students was really not high, maybe he was used to the smooth journey, he had a good family background, good looks, good intelligence, ambitious but had nowhere to start, he heard this while feeling sorry for himself A blow would make anyone feel a little uncomfortable, even if Buroni's face changed drastically and he slammed the door at this time, Zheng Hao was not surprised.

Let him invest his fortune, what is this little test?Compared with what he encountered himself, well, even in the eyes of others, he felt that he had come through the stormy sea. Success only favors the brave, and luck only rewards the honest.

He looked back at Su Yuan and smiled. Su Yuan squinted his eyes and gnawed on the crispy radish. His pale pink mouth was stained with golden filaments, shining oily in the charcoal fire and lights.

Bronnie chewed the egg cake dullly, he should say something to show that he was not hit, he still has the confidence and courage to move forward, but now he can't say a word, he stared blankly Glancing at Li Xiangrong, a small voice in my heart said, "If he likes me, if his liking is useful, he should help me relieve this embarrassment now, he should be more useful..."

But Buroni quickly felt ashamed of this kind of thinking, liking someone is not because of someone's usefulness, this kind of liking is too utilitarian and impure!

They are still teenagers, and the feelings of teenagers should be pure and not mixed with a speck of dust.

Buroni stretched out his hand to take out a tissue, and slid his fingertips across the back of Li Xiangrong's hand, remembering the cool touch for a moment.

Zheng Hao said to Li Xiangrong, "Xiao Li, we are also acquaintances. I heard that the two chefs have left, but you still stay. I appreciate you very much."

Li Xiangrong said lightly, "The Bu family treats me very well, how can I leave now?"

Zheng Hao said with a faint smile, "Let's put it this way, if the Bu family is very prosperous now, you will leave instead?"

"He won't leave anyway!" Buroni said loudly suddenly, without looking at Li Xiangrong's surprised expression, his blue eyes were full of persistent light, Li Xiangrong felt hot in his heart, and responded, "I won't let's go."

"No matter how difficult the Bu family encounters, I will not leave. Even if Bu Langni drives me away, I will distinguish clearly before making a decision," Li Xiangrong said slowly, his voice was not loud but very clear, he He also didn't take into account Buroni's demeanor, and expressed his inner thoughts word by word, "No matter where I am, I will definitely do what I can do well."

Buroni maintained a stiff posture, as if he was not moved by such sincere words. Li Xiangrong had never spoken much, and his presence in the crowd was too weak, but he had never felt as clearly as now that there was a person Just by your side, if you say not to leave, you really won't leave, if you say work hard, you will really go all out.

Zheng Hao deliberately looked around at them with interest, and finally clapped his hands and laughed, "Lonnie, there are only one or two people who are useful. It may not be a good thing for those scumbags to leave."

Bu Langni was confused by his hearty smile, Su Yuan shoved him in disgust, and said with a smile, "Isn't it childish, can't you just say something?"

Zheng Hao coughed twice on purpose and cleared his throat, "Lonnie, I won't go around with you anymore. I also know that you intend to let the Zheng family invest in the Bu family. I was not clear about my position before because of the limited capital in my hand. .” He pointed at Su Yuan helplessly, “All my wealth is trapped by the zoo, and it’s his fault.”

Su Yuan laughed and said, "You have convulsions by yourself, don't care about my business."

Zheng Hao rubbed his nose and said, "Okay, since you're not there anyway, I don't care if I want that thing, hehe, I handed over the zoo to a Taiwanese businessman~"

Buroni had a flash of inspiration, "Is it Kyoko's uncle or aunt?"

Zheng Hao said, "It's them. They have spare money, but they are not sure about starting a business. The zoo is restructured from a public institution. The higher ups will take care of it and save worry."

Buroni's voice became hoarse with excitement, "So, senior, are you willing to invest in us?"

Zheng Hao nodded with a smile, "I've recently consolidated the things I'm doing, so it's no problem to help the Bu family."

85

85, 34...

The biggest difficulty that troubled his heart seemed to be solved, and it seemed to be just the beginning of a bigger difficulty, but Buroni, who was just in his early 20s, didn't have to think so much. In any case, this was good news, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

But this sense of accomplishment is not obvious to Li Xiangrong. The decision-making level is too far away from him. The chef is just a job, and Bu Langni, a small boss, he discovered that he is the person he likes.

Like is a kind of power that gives people hope but may not really make people strong, especially for Li Xiangrong, who is not outstanding in EQ and IQ, at this moment, Li Xiangrong is not as happy as before. Out of joy, what hangs over my heart is a deep sense of loss.

With his own efforts, no matter how hard he tried, it seemed that he couldn't really help Buroni. To put it bluntly, the little Li Xiangrong couldn't even match Zheng Hao with a single finger.

Bu Langni happily clinked the teacup with Zheng Hao, "Senior, Brother Hao! Thank you for your kindness, I must treat you to dinner!"

Zheng Hao said with a smile, "I know about your family's recipes, but well," he leaned his head and blinked his eyes, "I heard that your master Lu still has good dishes at the bottom of the box."

Bu Langni glanced at Li Xiangrong, "Master Lu is not in good health these days, he is recuperating at home, and the only chef at home is Ah Rong."

Zheng Hao shrugged indifferently, "It's okay, we'll talk about it later."

Li Xiangrong couldn't help stiffening, and smiled dryly. Buroni put his hands on his shoulders, and Li Xiangrong said softly, "Brother Zheng, I've been thinking about some new dishes recently, and I must appreciate them when I have the chance."

Zheng Hao said yes, but Su Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Oh, I didn't even think about it. I also like to cook. Xiao Li can teach me two tricks when you have time."

Zheng Hao immediately turned around and put his arms around Su Yuan's neck and laughed, "Hey, I just want to eat your cooking."

Li Xiangrong blushed a little, and peeked at Buroni, unexpectedly, Buroni was also looking at him, and the two eyes met, as if there was an electric current rushing, and sparks flashed on the faces of the two of them in an instant, and a lifetime Many embarrassments to come.Zheng Hao said happily, "Hey, are you biased?"

Bu Langni was a little funny, this question directly turned into a question of right and wrong, and Zheng Hao judged that it was impossible for them to say "yes", such an insolent publicity was really domineering.

Su Yuan also smiled indifferently, "Okay, it's too expensive to eat out, so it's better to cook it yourself."

He spoke frankly, making others feel embarrassed to be pretentious, and Buroni joked half-truthfully, "Brother Yuan is so virtuous."

Su Yuan pushed Zheng Hao away, "As long as everyone is happy, you don't need to be too particular. To be honest, I ate so many restaurants in the capital with Zheng Hao, and that's it. I don't miss it too much."

Zheng Hao came over again, "Yes, yes, it's really nothing special."

The ringtone of the phone suddenly came to mind, Zheng Hao connected and said a few words, and said to Bu Langni, "I'm sorry, I have to go back because of something urgent, if you are free tomorrow, go directly to my company to talk, you guys take your time."

Su Yuan waved his hand and told him to leave quickly, and raised his eyebrows at Bu Langni and smiled, "I like this teahouse quite a bit, and I want to soak for a while, if you have something to do, don't pay attention to me."

Buroni smiled and said, "This place is really unique. I seldom come here. Today I have nothing to do and just play a little longer. Tonight, I must treat Brother Yuan to dinner."

Su Yuan added tea to them, "Hey, Xiao Li doesn't like to talk very much, but I'm a chatty chatterbox, and I've never had any fun after setting up the Dragon Gate Array. Don't think I'm annoying."

"Brother Yuan's talk is very interesting, I think I learned a lot," Li Xiangrong forced a smile.

"Don't pretend, it's boring," Su Yuan said sharply, "You are quite young, take it easy."

Li Xiangrong has nothing to say. Although he is dissatisfied with his cowardice and pettiness, he feels even more ashamed when he is explained bluntly. Not everyone is willing to watch him cautiously wearing a mask, but not everyone can. Live free and self.

It was impossible for Buroni to understand his shame, he had no sense of shame.

And the bravery of Li Xiangrong, who was ashamed and still insisted on "liking", was also unaware of Buroni.

Su Yuan lit a cigarette leisurely, "Zheng Hao and I have known each other for several years. At that time, we worked together in the zoo. I raised lions and he raised tigers. Later, there were some things in the garden that we were not used to. He went back to inherit the family business. , I went out to see the world, and I didn't even think about being together..."

"The last time I came back, I just heard that he bought the zoo," Su Yuan flicked off the cigarette ash, and laughed in a low voice, "It's really crazy, the zoo is not a good industry worth investing in, I thought he would Rebellion is still a rational person, haha, this thing is not rational at all."

"He is for Brother Yuan, right?" Buroni blurted out, Su Yuan gave him a meaningful look, "You are actually a bit like Zheng Hao, so he really wants to help you."

Buroni bit his lip. After all, Su Yuan was several years older than them, and he was willing to speak so bluntly, which meant to point him out. Although he was moved intellectually, he felt awkward in his heart.

Buroni wants to say that I am different from anyone else, Li Xiangrong and I, you and Zheng Hao, we are also different, happiness is similar, and distress is always different.

Dusk came unknowingly, and the orange sunset shone through the window lattice, shining on everyone's face with a faint halo.

Later Zheng Hao called Su Yuan and seemed to say that they were going back to Zheng's house together. Su Yuan made an appointment with them to meet again at another day and left first.

After the tea was finished, it was getting dark. After eating a full stomach of tea and food, there was no need for dinner. The two walked under the street lamp, and the wind was a bit cold.

Bu Langni asked Li Xiangrong softly, "Do you think the Zheng family knows about their relationship?"

Li Xiangrong hardly spoke that day, nodded slightly and said, "I must know something as big as buying a zoo."

"Won't their family object?" Buroni seemed to be talking to himself, "Actually, it's nothing..."

Li Xiangrong asked thoughtfully, "Are you worried about something?"

Bruni looked at him deeply, his eyes were as blue as the sea, "I am a very serious person, and I know you are too. Maybe there are many difficulties waiting for us, you understand."

Li Xiangrong turned to the beginning and said quietly, "People often think too much and do too little. I am so stupid that I can only concentrate on one thing. I have never liked anyone. If, if you think it is inappropriate , I can completely let go..."

Bruni grabbed his hand fiercely, forcing the two people to stop in their unhurried pace. On winter nights, everyone was in a hurry, and they were like two abrupt stones in the river.

"I'm not allowed!" Buroni announced arrogantly, "I must do what I said, I don't want to hear that kind of cowardly reason! I allow you to give up because you don't like me anymore, and the reason for leaving must not be because of cowardice !"

Li Xiangrong smiled wryly, "It's not real at all when you speak like this, just like the lines of a soap opera, far away from my life."

Buroni leaned close to his nose, "Haven't you been far away from your original life after you met me? Then why don't you believe that we can go farther together?"

Li Xiangrong said quietly, "Because only I am changing, I have no confidence."

"Do you not trust yourself, or do you not trust me?"

"All."

The mouth was suddenly covered, with cold and dry lips, the faint heat could not resist the biting cold wind, squeezed by the heavy scarf and hat, and there was a smell of iron in the mouth.

On the road with bright street lights and the hustle and bustle of traffic, no one would notice the two boys kissing in the street, so peaceful and self-sufficient.

Li Xiangrong closed his eyes, the kiss now is also like a dream, since it is a dream, what does it matter?

Li Xiangrong stretched out his hands to wrap his arms around Buroni's waist, and opened his mouth to take the initiative to catch the other's lips and tongue. Buroni froze for a moment, pinched his shoulder, and panted softly, "Go home first."

ah?Li Xiangrong's eyes were burning, and Buroni happily pecked his lips again, took his hand and put it in his pocket, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come back with me."

Sitting in a taxi is like flying through clouds and fog. After getting off the car, Buroni takes her directly back to the mansion. At the entrance, she meets Mrs. Fanny who is changing shoes. Let's go."

Fanny said, "Well, the guest room is also vacant. It's really cold these days. Let's stay here."

Bronney dragged Li Xiangrong to go upstairs when Fanny suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Li Xiangrong turned his head, his face was flushed, Fanny walked over and touched his forehead, and said softly, "Don't catch a cold, I still want to eat something, do you want it?"

Buroni wanted to go back to the room quickly, but Li Xiangrong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "What would Madam want to eat? Let me make it?"
