salt by salt

I went back to City B with my mind full of wild thoughts, and after separating from Andre, I went directly to Yang Chen's residence.

It was already late at night when I arrived, I pushed open the door, raised my head and met Yang Chen who was about to go out.He folded his arms and gave way, watching me go in with the suitcase, and there was no emotion in his tone: "Are you back?"

"I'm back. Are you going out?"

I smiled wearily, waiting for the next storm, but unexpectedly Yang Chen said: "It's been so long, I'm going to pick you up in person. Have you eaten yet?"

I looked at him in surprise: "Anything is fine. I ate in the car and I'm not particularly hungry."

"Yeah." He replied, turned and went into the kitchen.

I went to take a shower, and when I came out of wiping my hair, I was still full of question marks about this abnormal behavior, and I didn't dare to ask questions directly.

Yang Chen lowered his head to taste the taste with a spoon, his slightly longer bangs hung down in front of his eyes, revealing the lower half of his face with a beautiful outline.He was wearing black house trousers and a casual T-shirt on his upper body. The loose outfit was worn with a bit of unrestrained and chic taste.

I watched silently, and the faint tomato aroma wafted in the air, giving this house with a strong color style a warm feeling, and it was hard to bear to spoil the beauty of this moment by making a sound.

I didn't even go to the airport to see him off before he left last time because of a meeting.During this period of time, he was on frequent business trips, and we had almost no chance to sit quietly face to face except for phone calls. The only tenderness was probably Yang Chen's fervent and intense kiss when we met in a hurry.

Is it because he has been studying and progressing with Uncle Yang, and he has to bear the expectations and pressure, so that he has a more mature and restrained temperament?

When we meet again, I always feel that Yang Chen seems to be slightly different.

"...It seems to be salty." His voice brought back my thoughts of running away. The man in front of him frowned childishly, and put the spoon to my lips, "Xu Junyan, try it."

I know that Yang Chen's cooking is not as good as mine, although it smells good, I don't know how it tastes like.

I took a sip with a fearless spirit, and I was very surprised by the deliciousness of the entrance. I tasted it carefully and said: "Not bad, the level has greatly increased. The salt is indeed a bit too much, but it is also delicious. Add some water? "

"I don't know how much to add!" He said in a muffled voice, "Just tell me the amount."

"The soup is already made, adding water can still embarrass you..."

As I was talking, I suddenly thought of how it is possible to make such a rich and delicious soup with Yang Chen's cooking skills.It must have been ordered in advance, and he was responsible for warming it up.Not wanting to refute his face, he immediately changed his words: "Add two spoonfuls."

Yang Chen glanced at me, probably knowing that the truth had been seen through, with a little anger on his face, he looked like he was going to drop the spoon in the next second and give up: "Isn't it just adding some water, you are very proud?"

"No." I waved my hands again and again, "I think you are very caring."

"That's about the same." He raised his chin to me and ordered, "Get out, don't disturb my performance here."

I laughed and went back to the living room, took out the computer to process the company documents.

After the dishes were served, I became more and more sure that these exquisite meals were ordered from the hotel.Only the tomato and egg soup placed in the middle was contrasted with the surroundings, it looked very bleak and pitiful, it really looked like Yang Chen made it himself.

I'm not really hungry, but with his burning eyes, I have to eat something anyway.I sensibly showed no interest in other dishes, so I just stared at the soup and drank half a bowl. Sure enough, I saw Yang Chen's smug smile from the corner of my eye.

"How is it?" He pretended to have no intention of asking me, "Let's evaluate."

"It's all good. I just want to eat tomatoes today, so I really like this dish." I said, "Let's do this next time."

"That depends on when I'm free." The corners of his mouth almost went up to the sky, "And I'm not in the mood every day."

I suddenly thought of the agreement I made with Song Cheng, and my originally happy mood dimmed, and when I looked at it again, I felt that Yang Chen's smile was a bit pitiful.

It's not sympathy, it's just... a little unbearable.

I hate that cruel Yang Chen, but I still have affection for him who is occasionally innocent.I know that these are just different aspects of a person, but I always do this, and I must cherish any kindness that others treat me.

Xu Yucheng said he valued love and righteousness, while Andre said he was indecisive.I'm glad I didn't know anything about their plans, and the decision was out of my hands, which really saved me a lot of trouble.

It's useless to think too much, I close my eyes.

"Xue Keming asked you to come with me." Before going to bed, Yang Chen mentioned this matter in a rare discussion tone, "Do you want to go?"

"...It's not that I'm getting married, it doesn't matter if I go or not."

As long as Xue Keming doesn't feel that his former enemy appeared at the wedding scene, it's fine. I'm too lazy to do anything to her. Whether she is happy or not has nothing to do with me.What's more, Yang Chen was also here, no matter how crazy she was, she would not dare to tear her face openly.

"I'll show you my friend too, okay?"

Every time like this, I feel bored, and I don't want to spoil the rare good atmosphere, so I turned my back to him: "Whatever."

"That means I agree." He reached out and hugged me tightly, his voice was very soft, "Xu Junyan..."

"how?"

"My dad has plans to immigrate." Yang Chen said after a while, "Let's go together, we can legally get married abroad."

I frowned, thinking that I would do this again, and self-righteously make the decision for me.The person who asked about the exit was: "Your family's assets are all in the country, and your development will be limited after you immigrate."

"So it's just a plan." He sighed, "I always feel that the policies of the higher authorities over the past few years... Forget it, if you don't talk about these things, it will be boring."

"You can only take one step at a time in everything." I patted the back of his hand, "It's your dad's project that put too much pressure on you, and it will be better when it's finished. Don't you still start a business in the entertainment industry?" , How did you make such an ambitious promise before? Don't be discouraged."

"It's easy for you to say." Yang Chen sneered, and tightened his arms close to me, "Don't feed me chicken soup at night, sleep."

That being said, until the day before Xue Keming's wedding, I was busy planning the next exhibition at the company, and completely forgot about it.Andre disappeared all day long, and coming to the company turned into fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, and he had to find someone else to share the work he left behind.

I was having a hard time with that, but knew he had work to do and had to be considerate.Tang Mo didn't know the inside story, so she asked me before leaving get off work: "Boss, isn't Andre coming tomorrow?"

"Probably not." I held my forehead and smiled bitterly, "He will be very busy recently."

She said dissatisfiedly: "Even if he is your younger brother, it's too much to say that you don't do it like this, and others will not be able to keep up with the progress. After he comes back, you can ask him to go to the creative department. Ann Andre is very talented in that area, maybe he will be more suitable."

Tang Mo and I are familiar with each other, and gradually we don't talk like superiors and subordinates, but like friends.

There was a slight accusation in her words, I paused, thinking of Andre accusing Tang Mo of meddling too much in my decision-making when I was in the ward.Swallowing down the comforting words, he said lightly: "I will mention it to him. You have worked so hard doing so many things by yourself during this time, and I will ask Xiao Hu to help you tomorrow, just to take care of Andre's vacancy."

Tang Mo was startled: "I'm not complaining..."

"I know." I said, "You always work overtime, and you don't have time to fall in love. I can't bear to see it. Multiple people help, find time to talk about a boyfriend, and then I will give you a big red envelope .”

She forced a smile: "Thank you, boss."

I felt very uncomfortable seeing her look as if struck by lightning, so I turned my head away from her and walked straight out: "Go back and rest early."

The next day I went to the wedding venue with Yang Chen.

I seldom participate in such occasions, and most of the people around me are Yang Chen's friends, so I'm naturally not interested in chatting with people, so I sit alone.

Unexpectedly, I was tapped on the back. I turned around and saw Lin Ya's smiling face: "Junyan, long time no see."

"How did you come?"

I was a little surprised, after all, Lin Ya and Xue Keming had a very bad relationship in my impression, otherwise she would not have helped me when Xue Keming framed me.

"I'm a member of the bridesmaids." She showed me her lavender gauze dress generously, and sat down beside me, "Where's Yang Chen?"

"I was called away by my buddies."

I really can't figure out the friendship between women. When I was in high school, I was tit-for-tat and refused to give in to each other. When I got married, I could invite each other to witness.Lin Ya didn't care at all, and happily chatted with me: "Do you know the identity of the groom?"

I glanced at the man's name on the invitation, but there was no impression of this man in my mind: "You say."

"The eldest son of the Hou family, just transferred back from City H, deputy director level."

She has always been well-informed about this kind of information, so I thought for a while: "No, they are all at the deputy department level, and this person must be more than 30—"

I stopped talking halfway through, I could see the schadenfreude hidden on Lin Ya's face, and said helplessly, "What's Xue Keming thinking?"

She is only 22 years old, and her ex-boyfriend is as handsome as Yang Chen. How could she fall in love with a man who is ten years older than herself?

"Actually, the man is quite handsome. It's not a loss to reach this level at such a young age." Lin Ya coughed to hide her expression, and said in a low voice, "I have an idea about the little model. It will be emailed to you."

"what's the topic?"

Yang Chen walked over from not far away with a half-smile, put his hand on my shoulder, but said to Lin Ya: "Miss Lin, you are getting more and more beautiful."

"Mr. Yang is still as handsome as ever." She stood up politely, "Junyan and I have finished chatting about the new models, and I have to go back to accompany Keming."

Yang Chen watched her walk away with a smile, and his face turned cold when he sat back in his seat: "Stay away from her."

"Speaking of which, Lin Ya is one year younger than you. I regard her as my younger sister. Don't worry about it."

"That Song Cheng signed with Asia Entertainment, do you think I don't know? Without her as a bridge, you two would hook up?" Yang Chen's tone was cold, "I promise not to restrict you from making friends, but don't try to play tricks under my nose. Otherwise, I don't mind taking action against her."

I replied, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a man in a light gray suit, who stood up abruptly: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Yang Chen happened to turn his head to deal with a person who came to talk to him, so he didn't notice my reaction.Seeing him nodding his head, I turned around and left, quickly chasing after that figure.
