Pooh!you bad guy

Li Tang, who was gearing up, was dumbfounded. He unconsciously tightened his hands on the table, and asked cautiously, "Who are you?" Although the deep and deep voice was very familiar, he didn't dare to confirm it.

Zhao Dingyong laughed dumbfounded and teased him: "Zhao Dingyong, what? Don't you want to?"

——I'll treat you to dinner another day.

With a "ding", Li Tang quickly reacted, feeling a little annoyed and embarrassed.Although he really wanted to treat the guests, seeing how busy the Zhao family uncle was and not having his contact information, it was delayed until today.

"No, no, I'm afraid you don't have time." As soon as the words came out, Li Tang regretted it, and felt that his tone was a little anxious—well, he had to restrain himself.

"How could it be?" Zhao Dingyong sat on a comfortable executive chair, taking the time to gesture for the assistant who brought in the materials to wait for a while, "After waiting for a few days, I thought you regretted it." He has never done this in his life The assistant had a delicate expression when he was in a rush to invite someone to dinner.

"I haven't forgotten. I don't have your mobile phone number, so I can't notify you." Li Tang's heart was completely quiet, his brows and eyes were filled with a happy smile that he didn't know, and he didn't feel that the couples around him were an eyesore. up.

After looking through the document carefully, Zhao Dingyong signed it and handed it to the assistant, "Then you know now? Remember it well!" He urged domineeringly.

"Okay." Li Tang nodded solemnly, then thought for a while and said, "Then, are you free tonight, Mr. Zhao? I would like to invite you to a newly opened Cantonese-style private kitchen."

Tapping the jade carving on the desk with a signature pen again and again, Zhao Dingyong readily agreed: "Okay, remember to tell me the time and place."

"That's okay, I'll make some arrangements first." Li Tang felt that he was suddenly very busy and that he didn't have enough time.

"See you tonight."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Li Tang saved the number just now, and typed out the three characters "Zhao Dingyong" little by little with his fingers. Seeing that this number was successfully added to the address book, he felt a little uneasy , Immediately backed up again in the cloud.

After completing this series of actions, he reacted with fever in his ears, quickly put the phone back into his pocket, continued to drink as if nothing had happened, and cursed himself inwardly:

——Li Tang, did you faint from the sun and suffer from heatstroke?look at you stupid...

But after a few sips, he took out his phone again, and thought frankly: Anyway, he has helped me a few times, it is very appropriate to invite him to a meal, and you can't be too Grandet, that will lose you. friend's!

Then he began to concentrate on searching for the place to go at night, as seriously as a guide for a National Day outing.

"Well, that's right, a new dish has been launched, it's worth trying..." Browsing the restaurant's website, judging the pictures of the tempting dishes in his heart, he finally called to make a reservation.

*******

At around 20 o'clock in the evening, Li Tang arrived at the restaurant more than [-] minutes early, deliberately chose a private room in a quiet location, and personally checked whether the air conditioner and exhaust fan inside were operating normally, and then ironed the tableware, making the decision first I ordered an old fire soup.

——Since you agreed, you should come, right?

After he was busy, Li Tang sat down, took out his mobile phone and put it on the table, thinking with some uncertainty.Because he also saw it: Mr. Zhao looked like a successful person with a big career and a very busy life, so would he be staggered by temporary urgent matters?

As soon as he thought about it, the phone rang, and the ringtone was no longer "Emperor Flower", but the pure music light guitar version of "Dream Wedding" - a completely different taste, as if there was a The little hand desperately dragged the person's mind and shook it from side to side and up and down.

"Mr. Zhao."

"I'm at the door, where are you?" Zhao Dingyong hurried over from the company, still wearing a meticulous formal attire, he pushed the car door and stepped on the scorching ground with long legs, notified Li Tang with a smile, and then walked towards the car The driver in the car waved goodbye and signaled that he could get off work and go home first.

"Sir, you should let me know when you're going back later." Xu Cheng said worriedly, he really didn't dare to leave the Patriarch behind like this, he would definitely be scolded if the housekeeper found out.

Zhao Dingyong had already strode towards the restaurant, but upon hearing this, he just waved his hand back casually again, saying that there is no need to say any more, he has already made up his mind.

"Ah~" Xu Cheng could only sigh, turned around and left with the steering wheel, curiously guessing which character asked Mr. to dinner?It’s not the places that people in the circle used to go to before the appointment, but seeing the husband’s seriousness and seriousness—for a while, Xu Cheng couldn’t stop thinking about it and all kinds of unreliable guesses. down.

*****

"Mr. Zhao, you are finally here." As soon as Li Tang received the call, he opened the door and ran out to greet him. He just found Zhao Dingyong when he entered the lobby and was received by the waiter.

Zhao Dingyong raised his wrist with a smile, glanced at his watch and said, "Well, I was almost late."

Li Tang led him upstairs, and replied briskly, "You're not late, it's just right."

This restaurant was newly opened not long ago, the decoration is quite retro, and the taste of the dishes is very authentic. Li Tang only knew about it when he came here with the gluttonous colleagues in the company.

The two entered the private room one after the other, Li Tang greeted the waiter before entering, and asked him to help serve Laohuo soup first.

After Zhao Dingyong sat down, he raised his hand and took off his suit jacket—there was no other reason, he had noticed when he passed through the lobby of this restaurant just now that he was dressed too formally.After unbuttoning the cuff buttons to the elbows and undoing the top three buttons of the shirt, it looks more casual immediately.

Li Tang handed him the menu: "Mr. Zhao, here are all local specialties, I hope you like it."

"Well, I really like your dishes here." Zhao Dingyong didn't feel the need to be polite, and carefully flipped through a few pages. After ordering a honey sauce pork and a signature squab, he handed the menu to Li Tang.

Li Tang was busy adding tea for him just now, and after taking the menu, he added a sweet and sour pork, a turbot in oyster sauce, and stir-fried kale.

"Mr. Zhao, what would you like to drink?" Li Tang turned to the pages of drinks again.

"Whatever, you decide." Zhao Dingyong said with a smile. The two sat next to each other. He could see the other party's slightly frowning brows, the corners of his mouth pursed seriously, and his slender, white fingers pointing at the menu. It's the same, and it's the same.

——Well, the way he thinks seriously is also very good-looking!

In fact, Li Tang didn't know much about wine, but he felt that Zhao Dingyong usually drank good wine, so he didn't want to order something too cheap.After pondering for a while, considering that tonight's dishes are mostly red meat, he ordered a dry red from a small Bordeaux winery.

Afterwards, Laohuo Soup was served first.

Zhao Dingyong kept smiling, enjoying Li Tang's considerate care.

"Sword Flower Pork Bone Soup, Mr. Zhao, try it, first fill your stomach." Li Tang first filled a bowl for him, and then looked at Zhao Dingyong after serving it himself.

Zhao Dingyong understood, took a sip happily, and commented: "It's delicious." Although he is from the north, he doesn't quite understand why the locals like to stew the ingredients for several hours, and then drink so much soup every day.

Only then did Li Tang feel relieved, and began to drink his own soup with a smile. At first, he was worried that the other party would not like this soup.

Seeing his boy's gentle way of lowering his head to drink soup from a close distance, Zhao Dingyong couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand and put his arms on the back of the other's chair, as if embracing his shoulders - this made him I feel more at ease, and I feel like I have firmly surrounded people.

"Drink more if you like it." This time it was Zhao Dingyong who helped him serve the soup.

"No, I'll do it myself." Li Tang stretched out his hand to take back the bowl, but of course he didn't succeed. Looking at it again, the person who said the soup was delicious just drank half a bowl and then stopped.

So Li Tang said apologetically, "People in the north don't like to drink old fire soup, right?"

Following his gaze, Zhao Dingyong was stunned for a moment, then said with a hearty smile: "Of course not, it's just that I didn't drink as much as you."

Because they came quite early, the food was served fairly quickly. In less than half an hour, the dishes were served one after another.

Zhao Dingyong raised his glass, and his deep voice swayed in Li Tang's mind together with the mellow dry red: "This glass of wine is toast to you, thank you for your enthusiasm, Xiaotang."

Li Tang raised his glass and touched him lightly, feeling the red wine in the goblet glistening and making him dizzy - he hasn't even started drinking yet, what a strange thing...

"Mr. Zhao, you are being polite. You have helped me several times. I should be the one thanking you."

Both parties drank it in one gulp.

*****

The atmosphere during the banquet was very harmonious, beyond Li Tang's expectation, no matter what topic he raised, Mr. Zhao could have a serious chat. how much is left.

When paying the bill, Zhao Dingyong habitually took out his card, but after seeing Li Tang scrambling to take out his card to the waiter nervously, he smiled and took it back—his The boy is so serious and cute.

When the two of them finally left, it was only a little past nine o'clock, but they had eaten for more than two hours.

"Mr. Zhao..." After walking slowly along the boulevard for a while, Li Tang called out hesitantly, but he didn't know what he wanted to say. Maybe he had drunk too much wine just now. As soon as the strength came up, the whole person was dizzy and chaotic.

——The meal is finished, Mr. Zhao should go back...

Inexplicably a little lost.

"Well, what happened?"

With one hand in his pocket, Zhao Dingyong is holding his own suit on his other arm, with broad shoulders and long legs, handsome and handsome features.

The night wind blew over the green banyan next to it and the stars in the flower bed, shaking slightly.There are couples holding hands in the front and back, walking forward closely together, and young girls are amused by their lovers from time to time and laugh out loud.

"Mr. Zhao..." His head was a little confused, Li Tang watched a couple quickly pass him with a happy and sweet smile, and then he called out slowly.

"Well, what's the matter?" This time Zhao Dingyong's tone was a little worried, because he found that Li Tang's footsteps were getting slower and slower, and finally he was walking step by step. He pressed the other person's shoulder With a twist, turn the person around——

Li Tang's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were watery, his brows were slightly frowned, and he looked uncomfortable and confused.

"Are you drunk like this?" Zhao Dingyong said with a playful voice, and pinched Li Tang's face with two fingers.

Li Tang stood there silently, without rebuttal or explanation, with his head bowed in thought—well, I feel drunk too.

Seeing this, Zhao Dingyong's smile deepened, he patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, then looked around, led others to find a stone bench, and decided to sit down and rest.

Backed by lush green banyan trees, the flower beds on the left and right sides are full of neat flowers and trees half a person’s height, making you feel quiet in the midst of noise; the stone benches are very cool, and a curved backrest is thoughtfully added, making it very comfortable to sit on when you’re tired from walking .

Zhao Dingyong took a rough look and felt that it was quite clean, so he pulled Li Tang to sit down.

The stone bench is not long, and the two men are not thin, it is just right to sit next to each other.

Li Tang still didn't speak, leaning slightly on the back of the chair, looking at the vast Nanjiang River in front of him, and the bright and beautiful lights on both sides of the river bank;After a while, he called out again softly:

"Mr. Zhao..."

He didn't know what he wanted to say, what he wanted to do, what he wanted, and he just subconsciously called him again and again.

Looking at the confused and sad side face of the handsome young man beside him, Zhao Dingyong did not respond this time, but directly reached out to embrace Li Tang, and gently pressed his head on his shoulder with his wide and warm palm. superior--
