Rebirth of the third-rate cook
Chapter 14
With the fall of a few rains, the sky turned cold all of a sudden, and autumn came completely.At the same time, the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are also approaching.
However, for Liu Guo, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the festival he least wants to celebrate.Not only because as an orphan, reunion festivals are suffering, but also because his birthday is on August [-]th.
How ironic.
In the past, the director of the orphanage continued to practice the habit of the older generation celebrating lunar birthdays, so the children in the orphanage all celebrated lunar birthdays.This is nothing, but his birthday is too special, so, in his memory, his birthday will always be accompanied by the courtyard to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
As time goes by, he often even gets confused, whether he eats cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival or moon cakes for his birthday.
He only remembered that on his birthday, many adults would come to visit the children in the orphanage with food and clothes, and the children would carefully prepare a program to thank these kind-hearted people who were willing to come, so, that Throughout the day, everyone in the courtyard was very happy, but that happiness had nothing to do with him. If the dean would always remember to prepare a cake for him, he would have forgotten that it was his birthday.
After leaving the orphanage, he no longer had the desire to celebrate his birthday, and later entered Dongyang. The Mid-Autumn Festival is always accompanied by busy holidays, birthday?What the hell is that?He has learned to ignore it.
"Brother Qin, the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, is there any activity in our shop?"
Qin Yan looked at the shops on the left and right, "We are not a big shopping mall, do we still have some discounts? Look at the shops around, which one has an event?"
Liu Guo couldn't agree with Qin Yan's idea, "Brother Qin, do you know that business is very particular about people's selflessness? It's because the surrounding shops don't do it, and if we do it, it will be more different." ah!"
Qin Yan looked at Liu Guo's appearance with a funny expression on his face, "You speak beautifully, but why do I always feel that you are too idle to panic?"
"My brother Qin! Which eye of yours sees that I am idle? I prepare dishes every morning, cook them in the afternoon, and cook them at mealtimes. I just wish I could grow two more hands. You actually said that I am idle, too I have no conscience!"
"Then you still want to hold activities? Japan will be busier during the holidays than usual. If you do some activities and there are more people, you will not be exhausted?"
Liu Guo thought for a while, and it was indeed the case, but she couldn't help but say, "No, Brother Qin, as the boss at this time, shouldn't you fully display Zhou's style of pickpocketing? Don't squeeze the labor force out of me." Is it right to swear to never give up? Why are you still thinking about whether I am tired or not?"
Qin Yan put his arms around his chest, looked down at Liu Guo, and said with a smirk, "Although I'm not smart, I've been educated anyway, and I won't do such things as killing chickens and extracting eggs. The highest level of exploitation is to maintain sustainable exploitation. Well!"
Liu Guo choked, and pretended to hold his heart, "Profitable businessman! Big profiteer!"
Seeing Qin Yan looking at him with a smile on his face, Liu Guo always felt that Qin Yan seemed to have changed a little during this time, and he couldn't tell exactly what changed. He was obviously still as gentle and gentle as before, but he just felt that It's not the same, just like just now, he would deliberately joke to tease himself, not that he couldn't joke before, but that feeling is different.
Liu Guo, who couldn't figure it out, could only explain to himself that Qin Yan is a slow-heated person, and recently because he has become more and more familiar with him, he has become less and less of an outsider, so he is so casual.
Qin Yan's eyes drifted outside the store again, "Guozi, although I don't think I've seen that person, but I can see that he has been standing there looking at our store, is it someone you know?"
Liu Guo asked, "Where is it?" and turned around with a smile, but the moment he saw the person coming, the smile froze on his face.
Chen Lu?How could it be him?
Chen Lu, who had been standing outside the store hesitatingly, saw that Liu Guo saw him, so he no longer struggled, and walked over with a smile on his face, "Brother Guozi."
Liu Guo's body froze with the sound of "Brother Guo", and then he raised the corners of his mouth as much as possible and put on a smiling face, "Chen Lu? Why are you here?"
"Brother Mingyue, I asked, I know you work here... Besides, you haven't contacted me since you left last time. I think the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming...so..."
Liu Guo thought to himself, it's not that he's too busy to contact Chen Lu, but that he doesn't know how to face Chen Lu at all. Let's say hate. The scene of him twisting the gas valve was like a nightmare, so how could he have no resentment?
Seeing that Liu Guo didn't answer for a long time, Chen Lu stood there in embarrassment. It was Qin Yan who saw that something was wrong with Liu Guo and made a sound to relieve the siege at the right time.
"Are you a friend of Guozi? Tell me in the store if you have something to say."
When Chen Lu saw Qin Yan's size, he flinched for a moment, looked at Qin Yan and then at Liu Guo.
At this moment, Liu Guo finally came to his senses, and quickly introduced the two of them, "This is my boss, Qin Yan, and this is Chen Lu, who grew up with me."
Qin Yan did not ignore Liu Guo's stiffness when he introduced the other party to him, but there was still a consistent smile on his face, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
But even though Qin Yan was smiling, the oppressive feeling of such a big man could not be ignored. Although Chen Lu entered the store, he was always a little afraid to sit down.
Actually, with Qin Yan's eyesight, how could he not see Chen Lu's restraint?But he just pretended not to know, unlike the last time when Li Mingyue came, he didn't mention the trouble of letting the two of them talk alone.
Naturally, it was impossible for Liu Guo to think of asking Qin Yan to avoid him. While asking Chen Lu to sit down and talk, he himself sat down opposite Chen Lu, "Why are you free today? Isn't the store busy today?"
"I'm off today..." Chen Lu replied in a low voice.
Liu Guo nodded in understanding, and the two fell into silence for a while.As a result, Chen Lu seemed even more uneasy. Ever since Liu Guo said that he had found a job and moved out that day, he had always felt something was wrong. The two of them grew up together, and Liu Guo never made any decisions without his knowledge. It was also the most unexpected time.
It's not that he didn't know Liu Guo's feelings for him these years, and the reason why he pretended not to know was that he didn't think about whether to respond. He was very greedy for Liu Guo's kindness to him, but also he was discriminated against since he was an orphan since he was a child. Enough is enough, he doesn't want to be discriminated against more because he is gay.In addition, Liu Guo is better than himself in everything, he doesn't want to look like he has to rely on him for everything, and look like he is useless.
However, the way Liu Guo looked at him when he moved out of the house that day made him panic. It was completely different from the way he used to look at him. It was a little more inexplicable emotion, more complete alienation.He didn't know how to react at the time, and when he came to his senses and wanted to chase after him, Liu Guo was no longer in sight.
Afterwards, he thought about the upgrade test, so he gave up the contact and tried to convince himself that he would contact him when Liu Guo settled down, but a day or two passed, a week and two weeks passed, but he still didn't wait for Liu Guo's call , but when he dialed the string of familiar numbers, he heard the mechanical female voice in the microphone repeating over and over again, "The number you dialed is an empty number."
It wasn't until that moment that he was sure that Liu Guo really didn't want to be with him anymore, but he was unwilling anyway. Everything was fine the day before, so why did everything change overnight?
Liu Guo didn't know Li Mingyue's identity before, but Chen Lu had already found out by accident. He knew that the two had a friendship, so he deliberately disclosed to Li Mingyue that Liu Guo's new job seemed unsatisfactory. Sure enough, Li Mingyue started Send someone to investigate his whereabouts, and the results will be obtained soon.
He thought that with Li Mingyue's energy, he would be able to persuade Liu Guo to return to Dongyang, but for some reason, there was still no result in the end. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, he finally couldn't sit still.
He knew that Liu Guo's birthday was a topic he didn't want to touch, but he also knew that that day would be his most vulnerable time, so he must make an appointment with Liu Guo on that day.
"Well, Brother Guo, let me help you celebrate your birthday this year, okay?"
Liu Guo's face froze, and then he showed a smile that could barely be called a smile, "You know it's just my birthday."
Chen Lu lowered his head, "In the past, your birthday was the busiest time in the store, but this year is different..."
Before Chen Lu could finish speaking, Qin Yan, who seemed to be indifferent to the conversation between the two and kept his head down while playing with his mobile phone, suddenly interjected, "Guozi's birthday is coming? Why didn't you hear me?"
Chen Lu thought that if he wanted to ask Liu Guo out, he still needed Liu Guo's boss to allow him to ask for leave, so he raised his head and smiled at Qin Yan, "Brother Guozi's birthday is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wonder if Boss Qin can make it easier for him?" , give brother Guo two hours off?"
Qin Yan smiled gently, glanced at Liu Guo calmly, and then fixed his gaze on Chen Lu's face, thinking, the person involved hasn't said anything yet, but you are in a hurry to ask for leave for him, hehe, you look like a Harmless rabbit, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
However, Qin Yan's emotions were not revealed at all, "Mid-Autumn Festival? How could it be such an unfortunate coincidence? You have also seen that you, Guozi, are the only cook in my shop, and I rely on him for both inside and outside hands. Several tables have been booked, if he is not here, who will do it..." He said and looked at Liu Guo with a face of reproach, "You said you are too, why are you being polite to me, and you didn't tell me your birthday in advance If it’s a problem, then I won’t take those orders. How can this be done?”
Liu Guo was taken aback by what Qin Yan said, booking a table?When did their small restaurant start taking reservations?Why doesn't he know?
However, even if Qin Yan didn't say that, he didn't want to go out with Chen Lu alone, so he didn't have the heart to delve into Qin Yan's intentions at the moment, so he hurriedly stepped down, "Yes, Chen Lu, it's too late to change the arrangement temporarily. , I accept your wishes, anyway, I don’t have the habit of celebrating birthdays, so when I have free time, I’ll call Mingyue and let’s go out for a meal, and I’ll skip birthday celebrations.”
Seeing what the two of them said, Chen Lu couldn't say anything more. After all, the boss had already spoken, and there was no guy who would still be jabbering. What's more, his original purpose was to keep Liu Guo from breaking contact with him. He said that if he had time to eat together in the future, he had achieved his goal.
"Since then, let's make an appointment next time. I won't delay your work. Brother Guozi will call me when he is free. My number has not changed."
Chen Lu's words "the number hasn't changed" made Liu Guo feel guilty again. Of course he knew that he threw away the old card and changed the new number and didn't tell Chen Lu, but Chen Lu didn't mention it directly, but pointed it out in this way. Tsk, why didn't I realize that Chen Lu spoke so many twists and turns before.
However, for Liu Guo, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the festival he least wants to celebrate.Not only because as an orphan, reunion festivals are suffering, but also because his birthday is on August [-]th.
