blockhouse

"How is the business recently?" Lao Qin leaned against the back door wall and asked, "At first you urged me to ask for short ribs, so I thought your business suddenly boomed."

"No." Qi Yue took out a cigarette and handed it to him, "Same as usual."

"What are you planning?" Lao Qin took the cigarette and drank it, "Are you losing money all the time?"

"It's not enough to lose money..." Qi Yue helped him light a cigarette, and also lit one for himself, "It's just that I didn't make much money."

"What are you drawing?" Lao Qin asked again

"There must be something to do." Qi Yue smiled, "Why don't you be free."

Lao Qin sighed: "I've only seen you who can be so chic after so many years of doing this kind of business without making a profit."

"I said no compensation." Qi Yue said, "I just earned less."

"You..." Lao Qin looked at him, held back for a long time and finally said, "What are you drawing?"

Before Qi Yue could react when he asked this question, he laughed himself first, and then sighed after laughing: "Forget it, don't ask, each person has his own way, why he walks like this can only be understood by himself .”

"Yes." Qi Yue patted Lao Qin's shoulder, "Very philosophical."

After smoking a cigarette, Lao Qin left. This trip was specially made to deliver goods to him. Before he left, he patted his arm very deeply, probably because he hadn't recovered from the sudden burst of philosophy.

It's also quite amazing, the friendship between Lao Qin and him is actually almost based on "beef short ribs that are served up to three times a day, sometimes even for a few days", but it is quite strong.

The relationship between people is sometimes so strange.It was like he and Gu Zhongzhong were working hard to mop the floor while there were no guests.

Second, Chuaner, oh, Gu Zhong.

For students like Gu Zhong who came to work, he has met at least a hundred of them in the past few years. Every time they get troubled in the store, one student will run away and another one will be recruited.

Even if they are not troubled, there are quite a few people who come and go and work for a month or two before leaving.

Among the many students who came to work, Gu Zhong can't be said to be special, he looks the same, has the same body, and has the same personality...

It probably comes down to fate.

"Take a break." Qi Yue walked into the store and sat behind the bar, "If your classmate comes early, it's not good for you to be like this, if you can't pretend to be the boss, at least pretend that you are at the bar.

"The two of you who just came in stepped on the mud." Gu Zhong held the mop and looked at the ground, "Besides, you gave me such a big discount, why shouldn't I be more active."

"Why don't you give me another wax." Qi Yue said, "I won't take any money."

"There is a specialization in art, and there is no distraction." Gu Zhong replied, carrying a mop to wash, "Do you have to start preparing, don't wait for people to come and you can't get them, there are several people.

"Look down on me." Qi Yue smiled.

"Don't make it too complicated." Gu Zhong returned to the bar after washing the mop, and said solemnly, "It will be too hard to make everything according to the specifications on the day of the New Year's Eve. Just make a simple version." , My classmates are not gourmets, and two of them don’t even know what beef short ribs are, so they won’t be able to eat well if it’s too grand.”

"Don't feel sorry for me so much." Qi Yue propped his elbows on the bar, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Come on, let me tell you, boss." Gu Zhong took the note pad and pen next to him, wrote a word on the paper and handed it to him, "face, write like this."

Gu Zhong's handwriting is indeed good. After seeing the words on the recruitment newspaper, he decided to use this newspaper for a long time in the future.

"It's been a long time, it's the first time I know." Qi Yue nodded, and sincerely tore off the piece of paper, folded it and put it in his pocket, "I have to keep it."

"Why don't you frame it and hang it on the bedside." Gu Zhong said.

Qi Yue took one out of the bundle of paper shells ready to be sold by the back door and handed it to Gu Zhong, who had a fantastic expression on his face.

Write a big one, it looks good when framed. "I don't know why, but Qi Yue likes to see him like this.

Whether it will remind him of someone or himself, he can't remember.

In fact, he discovered recently that those past events began to become blurred, and the details in those "rumors of the river and sea" began to be slowly forgotten.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, he can't tell.It seems that there is no need to distinguish.

As the dinner time approached, a few customers came to the store. Those who came at this time were usually tired of shopping, rested, had a drink and then looked for a place to eat.Gu Zhong could handle it alone, Qi Yue went into the back kitchen and began to prepare beef short ribs.

Although it is not troublesome for him to do these things, it is impossible for him to agree to another person.

He specially asked someone to deliver the goods, and even gave Gu Zhong a discount. Maybe he could get a free order if he was in a better mood. He was so kind that he almost didn't look like himself.

"Brother." Gu Zhong poked his head through the window behind the bar counter, "They're here.

"En." Qi Yue responded, "The mouth is so sweet all of a sudden, it's too hypocritical."

"I gave them the red bean pancakes in the oven, so there's no need for a discount," Gu Zhong said.

"Leave me two." Qi Yue said.

"Dinner?" Gu Zhong asked.

"Yeah." Qi Yue glanced at him.

"Don't." Gu Zhong poked inside again, "They will finish eating and leave in a while, I'll invite you out to eat."

"What to eat?" Qi Yue turned around and continued to work, "I don't eat beef noodles or dumplings. If I eat a big meal, it must be beef short ribs."

"No problem." Gu Zhong said.

"Okay." Qi Yue nodded.

After Gu Zhong's classmates came, the store became much busier, and Qi Yue had the illusion that he hadn't heard so many people talking for a long time.

While making short ribs, he retreated to the window to look out from time to time.

When Gu Zhong was with his classmates, he didn't talk too much, so he just listened to others and laughed along with him.

He shouldn't be the central figure in the class, but he was very eye-catching when he was sitting there. Qi Yue casually glanced over, and the first thing he saw was Gu Zhong.

I didn't realize that Gu Zhong had such a temperament before.

Before Qi Yue returned to the frying pan, he might have overestimated Gu Zhong, after all, he only knew Gu Zhong among the silly boys at the table, and his face was quite normal at first sight.

The short ribs were not as streamlined as Gu Zhong requested, on the contrary, they were made more seriously than they were on New Year's Eve.

These are Gu Zhong's classmates, and he hopes to make a good impression on them.I also hope that in Gu Zhong's memory, I am not just the second child who lives in the rumors of the world.

If one day, he becomes Gu Zhong's memory, he hopes that Gu Zhong can remember the food he made or just remember that he is the owner of the shop where Gu Zhong used to work.

He brought the finished short ribs to the window and rang the bell.

Gu Zhong ran over to pick up the tray, looked at it for a while, then lowered his voice: "Damn it."

"Huh?" Qi Yue looked at him.

"This specification." Gu Zhong said in a low voice, "Thank you Brother Qi, it's too much face."

"Work overtime at night to wax the floor?" Qi Yue said.

"How obsessed are you with waxing? The wood-grained bricks paved here, don't always think it's a wooden floor?" Gu Zhong clicked his tongue.

"It's dirty, you think tiles don't need to be waxed..." Before Qi Yue finished speaking, Gu Zhong turned and walked away with the tray in his hand.

He looked at Gu Zhong's back and saw that he was still standing still, and he could be promoted to the bar.

After tidying up the things in the kitchen, Gu Zhong's classmate came over and said thank you to him by the window

Brother Boss, it’s so delicious, thank you.

"You're welcome." Qi Yue said.

Originally, I wanted to say that I could come here often in the future, and my friends in Gu Zhong would have discounts.

But in the end he still didn't say it out, it's not his style to be so kind and enthusiastic.And the word "later" is too unfamiliar to him.

The mobile phone rang on the table next to him. He went to pick it up and took a look. It was an unsaved number, but he knew the number. It was Chen Gui. He had just had dinner together two days ago.

"Huh?" He answered the phone, opened the back door and walked out.

"The fourth child has also come out." There was a worried tone in Chen Gui's voice over there, "Did you know?"

"I don't know." Qi Yue frowned.

In and out.

These words appeared frequently around Qi Yue in the early years.

Although he has not been able to get away in the past few years, these contents are still gradually far away from him. When he suddenly heard this expression, his heart sank uncomfortably.Not only because of this kind of words that represent his past, but also because of the fourth child.

"I didn't tell you before the skinny dog ​​came out, none of them mattered." Chen Gui suppressed his voice, "But it's the fourth child... I just thought I had to remind you."

"En." Qi Yue responded.

"Brother Qi." Chen Gui hesitated, "Why don't I bring a few people there during this time..."

"What are you doing?" Qi Yue interrupted him, "Tired of living a comfortable life? The old man is talking about teenage madness?"

"He's going to find you, what should I do!" Gui Gui shouted, "Even if you want to endure it, you have to figure out what's going on, right?"

"I know what to do." Qi Yue said, "Don't worry about it, you're not a child anymore, haven't you had enough of the days before?"

Chen Gui didn't speak, and sighed after a while: "Then let me say one more thing."

"I didn't tell you to shut up either." Qi Yue said.

Chen Gui smiled and said: "If you don't shut up, there's nothing to say, just one sentence, you really have to say something, don't carry everything by yourself, there is no need, we are all adults, not just you There are many people."

"This sentence is quite long." Qi Yue also smiled, "Thank you."

Another customer came outside, Gu Zhong poked half of his head in through the window: "Two servings of pasta."

Qi Yue turned his head and wanted to say no and let them go, but after two seconds he still replied "Okay." At this time, he didn't want anyone to notice the upset in his heart.

The guest asked for coffee, Gu Zhong turned around and was very busy at the bar.

Qi Yue found that he seldom looked at Gu Zhong from this angle, a small window framed, Gu Zhong's figure was as vivid as a photo.

Gu Zhong turned his head and saw him standing at the window looking out, his eyebrows were raised in fright, and he lowered his voice and said, "Work! Why are you standing here like a photo wall? It scared me."

"What's the hurry, can't people drink coffee first?" Qi Yue said.

"How funny, what if people want to eat noodles with coffee?" Gu Zhong said, "One sip of coffee and one sip of noodles."

"That's very unpalatable." Qi Yue replied.

"The customer is God." Gu Zhong put the coffee on the tray, "Do it quickly.

"It's as if God decided to eat like this." Qi Yue sighed, turned around with a smile and started making pasta.

This stuff is so easy to make and delicious.

Qi Yue is not too serious when making this kind of food, what is in his mind and what he is doing, generally he does not necessarily think about any important things, and there seems to be no important things in his life.

He just loves it.

There are several tables of guests in the store, the voices are neither high nor low, appearing and disappearing in the background music, there are people walking back and forth with their own stories outside the window, and the sound of "buzzing" exhaust fans in the kitchen.

Can hear, see, and smell.The solid feeling of living your own life.

"My classmates are almost finished eating." Gu Zhong's voice came from the window, "If there is no guests at that table, we can go to eat. Do you think about where to go?"

"En." When Qi Yue turned his head, Gu Zhong was no longer at the window.

And Gu Zhong.

An ordinary kid studying in an ordinary junior college.

Occasionally, he would suddenly have a very unrealistic hope that the store would continue to open, and Gu Zhongzhi was busy back and forth in the store.

After finishing eating, he lit a cigarette and went to the back door.

It was very windy outside, and the smoke was smoked against the wind, and the smell of smoke was gone in my mouth. Only the sense of smell could prove that I was indeed smoking.

He leaned against the wall, took out his mobile phone, clicked on WeChat, and sent a message to Qi Maomao.

"Don't come to the store recently."

Qi Yue has never been used to this kind of contact method that everyone uses in the new era. Apart from occasionally cooperating with Qi Maomao to send a few messages, he also clicks on it when he is really bored to see various people in his circle of friends. There are so many rumors, and because there are so few friends, sometimes rumors from a month or two ago can still stay on top.

The few words he chatted with Gu Zhong after adding it on a whim that day was probably the most he typed with his mobile phone in history.

Qi Maomao's phone call came, Qi Yue sighed, turned to face the wall to avoid

Wind picked up the phone.

"Why?" Qi Maomao asked immediately, "Did my mother bother you?"

"How is it possible." Qi Yue smiled, "Your mother doesn't want to see me at all, so how could she come to trouble me."

"What's going on?" Qi Maomao didn't understand. "I was thinking about going there tomorrow. I have a lot of food for you."

"I don't care for little girl's snacks." Qi Yue said.

"Did something happen to you again?" Qi Maomao continued to ask sensitively.

"Something happened, but nothing happened." Qi Yue replied.

"Don't lie to me," Qi Maomao said, "Really, don't lie to me, don't lie to me, what is going to happen to you..."

"Hey hey." Qi Yue interrupted her, "What are you talking about?"

"You have the same tone as my dad!" Qi Maomao's voice trembled, "I don't want both dads to..."

"Curse me?" Qi Yue smiled, "And what are two fathers, watch out for your mother to slap you."

"I know it's not good to say that, but I'm just scared." Qi Maomao paused for a while, then smiled again, "Am I too nervous? I can't choose what to say."

"What about me." Qi Yue said, "There are a lot of small troubles, but there will be no big troubles. You are a child, so don't worry about it all day long... Did you have a wonderful final exam before? Enter the fast class, now I think the slow class can hardly catch you, right? Does your school have a fixed-frame class?"

"Ah-ah!" Qi Maomao dragged his voice, "Why do you have the heart to always mock you as a girl!"

"This is to tease you, anyway, you have a strong tolerance." Qi Yue said.

"Inherited." Qi Yue laughed, "My mother said it was inherited from my father."

"Yes." Qi Yue nodded, "Your father especially forbids teasing."

Gu Zhong is also very forbidden to tease.Although I get upset every time and sometimes confront him, I never get really angry.

Thinking about it this way, he couldn't bear to tease him anymore.

Qi Yue returned to the first floor, Gu Zhong's classmates seemed to have just left, and he was cleaning up the table.

"Gu Zhong." Qi Yue called him.

When Gu Zhong turned his head, the expression on his face was as shocked as seeing a tyrannosaur on the street: "What did you call me?"

"Your classmate left?" Qi Yue asked.

"Let's go, they just wanted to say goodbye to you, but they didn't find anyone." Gu Zhong still stared at him.

"I'm smoking in the back." Qi Yue glanced at the customer who ordered pasta, "Have those two not finished eating for so long?

"The little girl eats slowly, but she chatted even slower while eating." Gu Zhong said, "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah." Qi Yue walked back and stood behind the bar.

He wasn't really hungry, usually he would eat when the guests were almost gone, it was still early, but he was just a little irritable.

He is not very hungry, but he is eager to eat.Although Gu Zhong told him to choose a place, he never thought about where to eat at all, but he just wanted to eat.

"Here." Gu Zhong put a cup of milk tea in front of him.

"So caring." Qi Yue picked up the milk tea and looked at it. The appearance is not bad, and the tube is twisted in a standard way

"Thank you for finally calling my name correctly." Gu Zhong said.

"You're too polite." Qi Yue continued to look at the two girls who were chatting with their cheeks in their hands after eating the noodles, "Chuaner, why don't you go eat shabu-shabu in a while."

Gu Zhong didn't make a sound, lay down on the bar counter, and sighed fiercely with his face down.

"I'm sorry." Qi Yue walked to the table, "Is your meal over yet?

"Huh?" A girl raised her head, "It's over."

"I'm sorry, it's like this..." Qi Yue smiled, "We have some things to go out, if you don't mind, just scan the QR code at the bar and check out later."

"Oh..." The girl was taken aback.

"Aren't you afraid that we will skip orders?" Another girl asked.

"It's okay," Qi Yue turned around and went to the bar to get his coat and said while putting it on, "I can also treat guests."

He patted the confused Gu Zhong on the shoulder again and said, "Let's go."

"Don't pay the bill, don't close the door?" Gu Zhong walked out after him.

"It's not the first time." Qi Yue said, "There is nothing valuable."

"Are you okay?" After leaving the door, Gu Zhong stopped in his tracks.

"Huh?" Qi Yue turned to look at him.

There are lights on the signboard, and the word "Pao" illuminates Gu Zhong's face very brightly, with a flash... Of course, the general good description is that it looks full of sunshine and vitality.

It's just that it's not very smooth to use at night.

"You're acting weird today." Gu Zhong said.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yue zipped up and walked slowly forward, "Isn't it always like this?

"It's not that you don't close the door and give customers free orders." Gu Zhong followed up, walked sideways beside him, and kept staring at his face, "It's you...I can't tell, it's just something wrong anyway."

Qi Yue didn't speak.Gu Zhong is a very sensitive person.

"I don't want to ask." Gu Zhong put his hands in his pockets, "I'm just a little worried."

Qi Yue turned his head to look at him.

"What are you looking at me for?" Gu Zhong was obviously a little uncomfortable when he saw him, "After all, you are still my boss, what should you do if I can't pay you?

"Xiao Zhang and the others won't worry about it." Qi Yue curled his lips, "If you want to do this, I can advance your salary every month, get the money first and then work."

Gu Zhong opened his mouth, but said nothing.Qi Yue didn't speak any more, stretched his arms while walking, and looked up at the sky.

During the Chinese New Year, no matter how good the weather is, you can’t see the stars, and it’s not easy for the moon to show its face.

After the two walked across the street in silence, Gu Zhong turned around and called him: "Qi Yue."

"Yo." Qi Yue smiled, "It's the first time."

"Maybe I'm thinking a little too much, and I'm naive, it doesn't matter if you laugh at me." Gu Zhong rubbed his nose, "I think, no matter what happened in the past, people still move forward. Growing old every day, this cannot be stopped, people will not stay in the past forever, nor should they.”

"Is your point saying that I'm old?" Qi Yue asked.

"You know what the point is." Gu Zhong spat, "What I mean is, you have to live... Lively, don't be so nostalgic, it will be much better."

Qi Yue suddenly found that Gu Zhongxian seemed to be much more mature than he had imagined, and also found that the child who was always teased to have nothing to say was about the same height as himself.

"I always thought you were shorter than me?" He looked at Gu Zhong.

"It's said that children don't look big." Gu Zhong replied calmly.

"Shameless." Qi Yue smiled.

"Qi Maomao calls you godfather. I am not a few years older than her. According to this standard, I am a child with you." Gu Zhong glanced at him, "It is impossible to be unconvinced."

Qi Yue laughed for a long time, raised his hand and put his arm on his shoulder and tightened it.

The faint clean and pure breath on Gu Zhong's body made him close his eyes, and his nose felt a little sore.

"You ask me, if the blockhouse is gone, will I remember you as a person." Gu Zhong said, "Actually, you are asking yourself, are you afraid that you are getting further and further away from something in the past?"

"You surprised me a bit." Qi Yue was taken aback.

"I've been thinking too much these past few days." Gu Zhong sighed.

"What are you thinking?" Qi Yue asked.

Gu Zhong shook his head and said nothing.

"Do you have any thoughts about me?" Qi Yue asked again.

"Show some face." Gu Zhong looked at him, "It's getting old."

Although this time is not the peak time for dinner, there are many people who come out to eat during the Chinese New Year. There are fewer customers at this time, but not many people leave. They even have to wait for a table when they enter three shabu-shabu restaurants.

"Wait?" Gu Zhong asked.

"No." Qi Yue replied simply, "Go, let's play for a while."

"What are you playing?" Gu Zhong was stunned, "Aren't you so hungry that you don't want to buy anything from the store?"

"There's a bowling alley below." Qi Yue said.

"Aren't you?" Gu Zhong stood still.

"No?" Qi Yue asked.

"Did you see that their business is so good?" Gu Zhong said, "By contrast, the blockhouse looks very miserable. You decided not to contribute to their turnover in anger?"

"Don't you know?" Qi Yue asked with a smile, "I can teach you."

"You pick a place to eat, but can I pick where to play?" Gu Zhong asked.

"Okay." Qi Yue nodded, "What do you want to play?"

Gu Zhong pointed to the side: "Is the next door the Community Sports Center?"

"Yes." Qi Yue said.

"Go." Gu Zhong patted his arm, "Go play table tennis.

"What ball?" Qi Yue was stunned.

"Ping-pong, Chubby Ball, it just so happens that I'm wearing sports pants and running shoes today to be more active." Gu Zhong thought for a while and suddenly smiled, folded his arms and looked at him, "Aren't you good at it? I can teach you."

Qi Yue looked at him and couldn't help laughing for a long time, and finally stopped after taking a breath: "I haven't laughed like this for a long time."

"Will you hit me? I'll make you cry later." Gu Zhong said.

"Go." Qi Yue nodded.

The sports center next to it is quite old, and the outdoor venues are also occupied by square dancing, but there are still many indoor activities. There are three table tennis tables, and two are empty.

Racquets can be rented, but Gu Zhong didn't want them. He picked a board at the counter for a while, picked out a board for himself, held it in his hand, turned around and looked at him again: "I pick it myself or should I pick it for you?"

"Just like you." Qi Yue smiled.

Gu Zhong must have played well, and Qi Yue felt very relaxed when he saw how confidently he was spinning the beat.

Not to mention that I haven't laughed that much for a long time, even this kind of temporary abandonment of the "state without any emotions" is rare.

Maybe it's because he deliberately narrowed the circle of his life. Those people and things haven't changed much over the years. Except for those that have gradually faded out, there is no new content added.

Sometimes Gu Zhong is like... in a room that is stuffy and solidified, fresh air gushes in from the small opening in the window, with a sweet smell.

"You serve? Or me?" Gu Zhong threw his coat aside, rolled up the sleeves of his T-shirt, and stood at the table looking at him.

"You post it." Qi Yue said.

"Okay, I'll send it a little softer." Gu Zhong bent over, holding the ball in his hand, looked at him twice and then sighed, "Your arm really affects your sight."

"Then what should I do, how about I go to the cleaning staff and ask for two sleeves?" Qi Yue smiled.

"It's almost over." Gu Zhong said, "Actually, I'm just surprised that it's such a cold day, you only have a short sleeve underneath, isn't it cold when you go out?"

"You only have two extra sleeves." Qi Yue said, "You don't know how to play. If you can say that before serving, this nonsense is enough for others to finish three rounds."

"Here we come." Gu Zhong finished speaking and tossed the ball.

Qi Yue once again confirmed that Gu Zhong's deceit was confident, the serve was beautiful, although it was indeed gentle as he said, but the technique could still be seen.

Anyone with normal hand-eye coordination can catch the ball. Qi Yue took a step back and returned the ball.

Gu Zhong let out a "huh" and increased his strength when returning the ball again: "You don't know it at all?"

Qi Yue sighed, raised his hand and drew the ball back.

The ball flew out from the corner of Gu Zhong's backhand neatly. Gu Zhong probably didn't expect him to return the ball with such quality. Although he reacted quickly and stretched out his hand sideways, the ball still missed.

"Damn." Gu Zhong suddenly turned his head to look at him, "Are you kidding me?"

"What?" Qi Yue asked with a smile while supporting the table.

"When I asked you if you would, you said no!" Gu Zhong suppressed his voice.

"I didn't say." Qi Yue smiled.

"You didn't say..." Gu Zhong picked up the ball and stared at him again, "But when I asked you if you would, you didn't say you would!"

"I laughed." Qi Yue followed his example and turned the racket, "Laughing."

"Get lost!" Gu Zhong spat, "I won't let you now."

"Yeah." Qi Yue looked at him.

Gu Zhong is very attractive because of this, whether he is embarrassed or loses face, he will not get annoyed, and he will only have a temper when his blood boils, how cute.

The ball that Gu Zhong served this time suddenly changed his style, it was very aggressive, and he even got agitated when he served the ball. Qi Yue also took the ball very seriously.

But he hasn't played for a long time, so suddenly he started to play without warming up after taking the racket. He was not used to it.

Gu Zhong happily tossed the racket up, spun it around twice before catching it, and went over to pick up the ball.

"Do you usually play with others?" Qi Yue asked.

"When I was in high school, I always played table tennis. Everyone in our dormitory liked it, and they dragged us to play," Gu Zhong said. "After I went to college, I only played basketball occasionally."

"Are you fighting someone from the technical secondary school?" Qi Yue asked.

"Don't be mad at me, okay?" Gu Zhong looked at him.

"Are you always losing?" Qi Yue curled his lips.

"I'm going to kill you today." Gu Zhong pointed at him.

"Okay." Qi Yue nodded with a smile.

It's not going to happen, but Qi Yue did lose. Gu Zhong fought hard and let go of the fight. He really couldn't stand it.

It might have been okay a few years ago, but now that my mood has changed, many things will change accordingly.

The hard work disappeared together with the hard work. To Qi Yue, winning or losing was just a concept and had no practical significance.

This mentality is not right, it is not in the scope of "letting go", but Qi Yue would rather be like this.

"Bullying the elderly." Gu Zhong shook his head while putting on his coat, "It's wrong for me to do this."

"Believe it or not, the old man will swing you outside with one hand." Qi Yue said.

"I don't believe it, but I can cooperate to give you face." After Gu Zhong finished speaking, he ran out and stood outside the door happily, "I came out by myself."

"It seems that I still believe it." Qi Yue walked up to him, "Actually, I can't swing it, so don't be so nervous."

"I really..." Gu Zhong faced him face to face, "I don't believe it."

Qi Yue didn't make a sound, and grabbed his arm. Before he could use all his strength, Gu Zhong had already hugged his arm.

"Are you really fake?" Gu Zhong looked at him.

"What kind of look do you have?" Qi Yue couldn't help laughing.

"You can stagger if you can't swing it a few meters away." Gu Zhong said, "Let me take precautions."

"Give up." Qi Yue said.

"Will you push me behind the back?" Gu Zhong still hugged his arm.

"No." Qi Yue said.

"Actually, I'm just looking for something to ask." Gu Zhong let go of him, put his hand in his coat pocket, turned around and walked down the steps slowly, "You're not this kind of person either."

"I am." Qi Yue said.

"Huh?" Gu Zhong turned around.

"You don't know me very well." Qi Yue went over and walked side by side with him.

"It's so sincere, I almost believe it." Gu Zhong said disapprovingly.

Qi Yue smiled and didn't speak any more, just reached out and pinched the back of his neck.

"Ah..." Gu Zhong raised his head, "It's comfortable, continue."

"You've played too much with your phone." Qi Yue got off the ground and held it for him as he walked.

"Why don't you say that you are too tired from work?" Gu Zhong said "tsk" twice, "Didn't you see that I never play with my mobile phone when I am in the store? verbal assault."

"Did you see that I attacked Xiao Zhang and the others?" Qi Yue said, "I only tease you because I like you so much."

"Are you a primary school student?" Gu Zhong turned his head to look at him, "You can hit whoever you like. I was like this when I was in elementary school. I thought my deskmate looked like a fairy girl, so I chased her and beat her every day."

"I don't." Qi Yue smiled, "I'm mentally normal."

"I don't look very intelligent, do I?" Gu Zhong asked.

"Child." Qi Yue scratched his hair.

Gu Zhong still wanted to say something, but now he opened his mouth but didn't say it, as if he had been frozen.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yue continued to pinch his neck.

"No..." Gu Zhong turned his head and looked at the road under his feet, "It's just... well, it's quite comfortable."

When they returned to the shop, they realized that Gu Zhong's treat to eat lake meat had not been completed.

"What should I do?" Gu Zhong was stunned.

"Order a takeaway, there are hot pot takeaways, just ask one to come over and eat in the store." Qi Yue walked to the back of the bar and looked around. The two girls before had already left, paid the bill, and left a note on the note pad. A paragraph──Thank you boss, the coffee is very fragrant and the noodles are also very good.

Qi Yue tore it off and put it in the drawer.

Gu Zhong sat on the chair by the window and tossed about for almost 10 minutes before finally ordering a small hot pot for two. As soon as the rider took the order, he started staring at the map to see where he was.

"Let's go around there, come over and choose it for us, can't you?"

"Why don't you call the rider and say that one of them has died of starvation and ask him to send it here first." Qi Yue said.

"Forget it, it's late at night, what if someone falls in a hurry." Gu Zhong continued to stare at the phone.

Qi Yue took a look outside, it was quite deserted, there was no one around.

Although they have already started to go to work, after all, the [-]th day is not even here, and it is still the Chinese New Year period. There are basically no people on the street at this time.

He habitually walked to the window and leaned against it, opened the window a little, and prepared to smoke a cigarette.

At the moment when he pushed the window, he saw a black shadow under the tree outside from the corner of his vision.

When he looked up, the black shadow didn't move away. From his angle, he could see that the man had just walked around to the other side of the tree, and he could still see the half outline of his upper body.

Qi Yue leaned on the window, looked at the half silhouette, took a long time to put his hand back, took out the cigarette and lit it.

When his fingers touched his lips, he realized that his hands were completely cold.
