thousand cups

After finishing writing, Shen Chaowen was stunned for a while, then calmly tore up the piece of paper.

Jiang Mo is right, think about it from another angle, this thing is not written for the other party, but for himself, will Jiang Mo change because of a piece of paper?No, this thing just moved me in vain.

Asking him to change also seemed cruel and unreasonable.

Torn in half, the phone rang.Shen Chaowen glanced at the caller and talked far away.This is his colleague when he took office in the red circle.When they were colleagues, their relationship was very ordinary, and the intersection was all related to work. After Shen Chaowen left the company, their relationship became much closer. The main reason is probably that they have a common hobby, and they both like playing snooker.

"The calendar reminded me early in the morning that today is your birthday." Tan Yuan's tone rose, "Happy birthday. How do you plan to celebrate? How about going to the club after get off work? I can consider giving you a few balls today."

"Thank you. Why do you have time to make an appointment? You won't be on business these two days?"

"I just finished an IPO. I'm not too busy recently. I must have time to play with you." Tan Yuan said, "Why, do you have other arrangements?"

Shen Chaowen answered him: "I'm not in Shanghai, I'm here to find a boyfriend, let's make an appointment another day."

Tan Yuan snorted, and asked again: "Have you reconciled with Director Jiang?"

Shen Chaowen was surprised: "When did I tell you that we quarreled?"

Tan Yuan took it for granted: "Every time you get into trouble with Director Jiang, you play fiercely. I haven't beaten you in the last month."

All right.Shen Chaowen laughed: "Next time we meet, I will definitely lose."

After chatting about life for a while, Tan Yuan naturally turned the topic to work, and complained a few words such as difficult partners and difficult clients, and said that he must find time to do body work when his heart is beating while drinking coffee. examine.

Without saying a few words, Tan Yuan changed the subject without warning: "Have you had enough divorce lawsuits?"

Shen Chaowen replied calmly: "Not yet."

He used to be a non-litigation lawyer, mainly engaged in investment and mergers and acquisitions. His job content was to provide legal advice to clients, control legal risks, and participate in negotiations when necessary to facilitate cooperation.Unlike litigation lawyers, non-litigation lawyers do not wear lawyer's robes and do not litigate. Shen Chaowen only transferred to litigation later.

Tan Yuan continued to persuade him: "You should come back and continue working. You can also go to a foreign investment firm. Why waste time switching to a field that you are not suitable for?"

"How do you know I'm not suitable? I'm very happy doing it. At present, the happiness index is very high, and I feel much happier than doing hedge fund mergers and acquisitions."

"I'm ignorant. It turns out that filing a divorce lawsuit can improve the happiness index?"

"Just try it and you'll know."

"Don't talk about that, you..."

Not wanting to talk about this topic anymore, Shen Chaowen interrupted him: "All right, all right, see you back."

The phone hung up.Shen Chaowen let out a breath, put the phone away, and continued to tear up the paper in his hand wholeheartedly.After tearing for a while, he saw Jiang Mo walking over from the intersection with something in his hand.

Beside him is a mother and daughter.A little girl was attracted by the thing in his hand, and tried to touch it with her hand.

Soon, Jiang Mo turned his head sensitively and gave up his hand. When he found the little girl who was biting her hand and looking at him, he held up the cake seriously and shook his head at her.

It's like saying: I can't give it to you.

Shen Chaowen watched this scene from a distance, and couldn't help smiling.

The little girl shook her mother's hand, pointed at Jiang Mo and said something, Jiang Mo bowed slightly to him, and walked forward again.

A very light action, worthy of repeated appreciation.

Jiang Mo doesn't like to dress up, she always dresses casually and likes to wear old clothes.He is obviously in his thirties, but his body always looks thin and small, giving people a soft and indifferent feeling.

He was a bit tired of seeing the well-dressed elites of the legal circles in the same industry. Jiang Mo's clean and casual attire made Shen Chaowen feel very comfortable and friendly.

Still in a daze, Jiang Mo had strode up to him.

He squatted down and put the cake box on Shen Chaowen's lap.

"Is it finished?" Jiang Mo asked while unpacking the cake box, "My shortcomings."

Shen Chaowen glanced at the scraps of paper in his palm, and replied: "...I wrote it, and tore it up again."

Jiang Mo nodded, as if he was not surprised by this result.

The cake box was opened, and inside was a small cake the size of a palm. On the coating was a rabbit with a dumb smile.

After opening the cake, Jiang Mo seriously took out a candle.

However, after the thing was plugged in, he realized that he had no fire and couldn't light it.Neither he nor Shen Chaowen smokes, so it is impossible to have something like a lighter on him...

Jiang Mo was about to borrow money from the old man who passed by smoking a cigarette, but Shen Chaowen grabbed him: "No more, it's in broad daylight, it's very strange."

Jiang Mo was very sorry, but because Shen Chaowen insisted on saying no, he had to give up.

After a few seconds of silence, the atmosphere became a little weird.

It was the first time for Shen Chaowen to celebrate his birthday in broad daylight and under the watchful eyes of passers-by. He was a little touched, a little complicated, and a little uncomfortable.

He looked at the rabbit on the cake for two seconds, then raised his head and looked at Jiang Mo for a while.

Just as he was about to say thank you, Jiang Mo suddenly dug out a piece of cake with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth roughly.

It was very awkward, but it was still done.

"Happy birthday, I hope you are happy every day even if you don't have a birthday." After a pause, "I forgot last year, and I won't forget it in the future."

Look at each other for two seconds.

Shen Chaowen began to chew the things in his mouth slowly.

He knows that Jiang Mo doesn't like to do these things, and he feeds you. This should be the most disgusting thing that the mighty director Jiang can think of. It's really incredible and worthy of being recorded in history.

Really didn't see it, Shen Chaowen quickly took Jiang Mo's spoon, bowed his head and ate silently.

Okay, I forgive him, Shen Chaowen thought.I am really easy to coax myself, a small cake can do it.

In fact, I really don't need much.

"Do you still have money to buy things?"

"No, I made the cake with magic."

"……speak politely."

"There are only 20 yuan in cash left, which is only enough to buy the smallest one." Jiang Mo said, "If you want to eat the big ones, go back and buy them yourself, anyway, you are in charge of the money."

He has no talent for financial management and spends money very casually.Knowing that he is not suitable for managing money, Jiang Mo consciously left all the money to Shen Chaowen after they got together.

Shen Chaowen nodded sullenly and began to eat the cake in his hand: "Got it."

Jiang Mo picked up a small piece of torn paper from his palm and asked, "Why did you tear it up?"

Shen Chaowen replied: "I feel that this method is not feasible."

Jiang Mo draped his legs and smiled: "It is said that this method is really useful."

"Who taught you how?"

"No one taught me, I learned from society."

"...you are easy to learn."

Jiang Mo smiled, raised his chin and looked at him: "I hope the cake can stick your mouth, so that we can stop arguing."

"I didn't want to quarrel with you." Shen Chaowen said, "It's you who run away every time I'm reasoning with you, and you think I'm annoying."

"Reasonable? Yes, you are reasonable. When you are reasonable, you just stand there and say a bunch of things that make people want to vomit." Jiang Mo said angrily, "Is it okay if I don't like it?"

Shen Chaowen stared at him puzzled: "So you want me to solve problems emotionally like you? Do you want me to explode when we quarrel like you?"

Jiang Mo raised his eyebrows: "Look, you're here again! You're pissing me off again!"

Shen Chaowen: "..."

"Logic, okay, logic." Jiang Mo said, "Then tell me, is there any logic in love? Is there any logic in liking? Is there any logic in the thing you kissed me secretly after I found out? Come on, Tell me about the logic of your forceful kissing me back then, and explain it carefully."

Shen Chaowen: "..."

"Why do you always fight with me? Do you want to win or lose or fight for right and wrong??" Jiang Mo chased after the victory, "Do you think the couple can clearly distinguish right from wrong when they quarrel?"

Shen Chaowen muttered in a low voice: "If you have the mouth, you can definitely say it clearly. It depends on whether you want to say it or not."

"..."

This person is indifferent, strong, stubborn, serious, and has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Arguing with him is a very exhausting thing.

Jiang Mo lay on his lap with a speechless face, thinking that I was really full and bickered with him, and I was sick.

As the distance approached, Shen Chaowen lowered his head and smelled the faint smell of alcohol on the other party.He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Jiang Mo's hair.

It's a snuggle pose.

What kind of wine did this person drink in the small restaurant before?I just remember that the wine is dark red, probably sparkling wine, the color of a rose, maybe bayberry wine, or cherry wine?I don't know the specifics, anyway, it smells a little sweet.

"Sometimes I'm afraid that I won't have anything to say to you, so I usually try to talk as much as possible." Shen Chaowen explained, "Don't be impatient all the time."

"Speaking more is equivalent to arguing with me?"

"I think it's normal communication, you think it's a quarrel."

"This kind of communication hurts feelings."

"Mr. Jiang Mo, an unknown artist, once said to me that we cannot require a relationship to be only happy and beautiful without disputes and contradictions. That is unreasonable and does not conform to the law of development of things." Clear each other, the road is tortuous, but the future will be bright, as long as there is a lot of accumulation, there will be a qualitative leap."

"..."

said before?Jiang Mo didn't remember saying these words at all.

He said heavily, "Did I tell you this when I was drunk?"

"Correct."

"Do you believe what I say when I'm drunk??"

"Believe me." Shen Chaowen said, "I believe in science, and I also believe in philosophy."

"..."

Jiang Mo completely surrendered, buried his face in Shen Chaowen's lap again, and began to shut himself up.

Shen Chaowen looked up with a smile and looked at the ancient town in front of him.

The overall look is slow and quiet, giving people a feeling of long time and transparency of the world for no reason.

Lowering his head again, Shen Chaowen looked at the rabbit on the cake and suddenly had an idea.

He tentatively asked: "It's a rare birthday, can I make a wish?"

Make a wish even if you don't have candles.

Jiang Mo still lay on his lap, nodded, and hummed casually: "Please tell me."

Shen Chaowen coughed, clasped his hands together with a sense of ceremony, closed his eyes, and said reverently:

"The first wish, I hope that Jiang Mo will quit drinking."

...?

Jiang Mo remained motionless, buried his head in silence, and began to pretend to be dead.

"Second wish, I hope Jiang Mo will quit drinking."

……

He continued to pretend to be dead, comforting himself in his heart, whether he could hear or not, and his expressed wishes would not work.

Shen Chaowen continued: "The third wish, I sincerely hope that Director Jiang..."

Jiang Mo couldn't bear it anymore: "Shen Chaowen, please make a wish related to yourself, don't suppress my personal hobbies!"

"Your hobbies are bad for your health. It's really not an activity worthy of long-term development." Shen Chaowen said seriously, "I'm thinking about your health. Don't you know that drinking alcohol is bad for your brain organs? According to your current situation How to drink I really..."

Jiang Mo took a deep breath, knowing that arguing is useless, now it's time to use physical attacks to tell this person to shut up and stop nagging.

What should I do if the quarrel is unreasonable?Then don't be reasonable.Many things in this world can be unreasonable and illogical, such as feelings.

It doesn't matter if you are noisy, as long as you can hold it down.

Jiang Mo stretched out his hand slowly, approached and pinched Shen Chaowen's temples, and was about to take off the thing that was in the way.

Shen Chaowen didn't like others touching his glasses, let alone taking them off.The world he can't see clearly is too blurry, and he always feels insecure when going out without glasses due to myopia.

This is also a signal.

Shen Chaowen's body froze immediately, and he turned his head to avoid it: "...it's outside."

Jiang Mo ordered him in a very soft voice: "Take it off."

His tone was calm.It's just two words, but the words are ambiguous, and the two words are enough to make people think about it.

Shen Chaowen was most afraid that he would play this game, so he quickly pressed Jiang Mo's hand, and repeated in a panic: "We are outside."

But the other party was already close, and his shoulder was clasped by a hand, unable to move.

Jiang Mo had just drank wine, and there was a faint smell of wine in his breath, which was being suppressed inch by inch.

The glasses were still taken off.

His vision began to blur, and the world in front of him lost focus in an instant. A hand was pressed on the back of his head, followed by a long-lost kiss that smelled of alcohol.
