give me straight man

Meng Ran still doesn't know about the "mutual exclusion" between Gu Cen and Lu Ouxun.

He has to attend classes, study by himself, and work part-time at night, so he is busy every day.

On this day, Meng Ran was having lunch with Lu Ouxun, and received a WeChat message from Gu Cen, saying that they would have lunch together.

[Meng Ran]: I'm already eating.

[Gu Cen]: What to eat.

[Gu Cen]: I'm not here, did you have a good meal?

Meng Ran smiled, raised his phone to take a picture of his dinner plate, and sent it to Gu Cen.

[Meng Ran]: Yes.

However, in the photo, in addition to Meng Ran's own dinner plate, there is also Lu Ouxun's directly opposite him; in addition to Lu Ouxun's dinner plate placed together, there is also Lu Ouxun's hand next to the dinner plate.

That hand looked like a boy's at first glance, Gu Cen didn't even need to zoom in, he guessed who it was just by intuition.

[Gu Cen]: Are you eating with Fa Xiao?

[Meng Ran]: Yes.

On Meng Ran's side, Lu Ouxun, who was sitting opposite him, didn't need to ask. Seeing Meng Ran was still sending messages on his mobile phone while eating, he guessed who was on the other end of the phone just by intuition.

Lu Ouxun remained calm and casual, and asked, "Gu Cen?"

Meng Ran raised his eyes: "Yes."

Lu Ouxun: "No class this afternoon, where are you going?"

Meng Ran took it for granted: "The library."

After a pause, he asked, "Are you going to rehearse this afternoon?"

Lu Ouxun: "You can leave early today."

Meng Ran nodded and continued eating.

[Gu Cen]: No class in the afternoon?

[Meng Ran]: No.

[Gu Cen]: There is a new coffee shop next to the supermarket in the southern district, do you want to go and sit in the afternoon?

[Meng Ran]: OK.

So after the meal, he and Lu Ouxun separated, Meng Ran first went to the library to sit for a while, at two o'clock, packed up his books, and rushed to the coffee shop in the southern district as promised.

As soon as he left, Lu Ouxun entered the study room of the library.

I searched around in the self-study room, but couldn't find anyone in the places where Meng Ran often sat, so Lu Ouxun picked up his phone as he walked out.

[Lu Ou Xun]: Where is it?

no reply.

Called, no answer.

Lu Ouxun stood at the door of the study room with his mobile phone lowered, his first reaction: Did he go to see Gu Cen?

Think about seeing Gu Cen without answering the phone or replying to the message.

Is there something wrong?

Just at this time, someone sent a message asking Lu Ouxun to play golf in the afternoon.

[Lu Ou Xun]: Where?

-

The game was about to be played at the southern court, Lu Ouxun went back to the dormitory, changed his clothes, and then headed for the southern district.

Walking to the door of the supermarket where they had agreed to meet, Lu Ouxun looked at his phone, but Meng Ran still didn't reply.

"What are you doing?" Chen Xun hooked Lu Ouxun's neck, and looked at Lu Ouxun's phone with his eyes, "Respond to my sister's message?"

Lu Ouxun raised his phone and made a gesture to slap him in the face: "Where is the girl? Are you crazy about the girl?"

Chen Xun held the ball in one hand and patted Lu Ouxun's shoulder with the other: "Go, buy a cup of coffee next door."

As soon as he walked to the door of the coffee shop, Lu Ouxun raised his eyes, and looked through the glass door of the coffee shop, and saw Meng Ran and Gu Cen sitting face to face in the corner of the coffee shop.

The two of them didn't know what they were talking about, Gu Cen was laughing, and Meng Ran was also laughing.

Smiling and laughing, Meng Ran lowered his eyes in embarrassment, then reached out to pick up the coffee in front of him.

"Duang!"

Lu Ouxun felt his heart was hit hard again.

Chen Xun was about to open the door to enter the store, but Lu Ouxun looked into the store, hooked Chen Xun's neck, dragged him back, patted his shoulder, looked at a corner of the store, and said: "I won't play the ball, another day."

Chen Xun turned his head puzzled: "Are you kidding me?"

Lu Ouxun let go of his arms: "I have something to do."

-

Meng Ran attaches great importance to today's meeting.

It's a meeting, but it's almost like a date.

Meng Ran has already made up his mind: give himself and Gu Cen a chance.

Maybe Gu Cen is really his true love, and maybe he and Gu Cen can develop smoothly.

So before the meeting, Meng Ran went back to the dormitory and changed his clothes because he paid attention to it. He also brushed his hair again and sprayed it with tons of styling water.

He just arrived at the store at this moment and just finished ordering coffee.

Gu Cen brought a computer and placed it on the round table, obviously waiting for a while.

Meng Ran apologized: "I made you wait for me again."

There was a smile on Gu Cen's face: "Forget about others, I will be happy to wait for you."

Meng Ran was a little embarrassed, lowered his eyes, picked up the coffee on the table, and took a sip.

Putting down his cup, he looked at the computer and asked Gu Cen, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Cen: "Oh, I'm looking at 3D modeling."

As he spoke, he turned the computer screen to Meng Ran.

Meng Ran looked down and saw a set of visualized 3D character models on the screen.

Meng Ran: "Game?"

Gu Cen nodded: "Well, it's something I've been working on recently."

Meng Ran: "Working?"

Gu Cen: "Almost."

He explained, "When I first came back, I wanted to find a job, but now I feel that I should do something I like."

Meng Ran reacted: "Do you want to start a business?"

Gu Cen smiled: "Yes, you discovered all of this."

Meng Ran was surprised.

Just at this time, a shadow fell on the top of the head, followed by a familiar voice: "What did you find?"

Meng Ran was taken aback, turned his head together with Gu Cen, and saw Lu Ouxun wearing a vest and sports suit standing beside them.

Meng Ran: "..."

Gu Cen: "..."

Lu Ouxun raised his eyebrows as usual: "Hi, what a coincidence."

Meng Ran: "..."

Gu Cen: "..."

Lu Ouxun then pulled the chair and sat down, looking at the computer screen on the round table: "Are you modeling?"

Looking at Gu Cen: "Are you planning to start a business?"

Gu Cen put away his speechless expression, said "um", and stretched out his hand to turn the screen back.

Meng Ran looked at Gu Cen, followed by Lu Ouxun, wondering: "Why are you here?"

Looking at Lu Ouxun's body again, I understand: "Are you coming to the Southern District to play?"

Lu Ouxun: "No."

Meng Ran: "..."

Why don't you dress like this?

Meng Ran looked at Gu Cen from the corner of his eye again, hinting and guiding Lu Ouxun intentionally: "If you want to play, go play."

Lu Ouxun: "No need to fight."

Meng Ran then asked, "Are you here to buy coffee?"

But Lu Ouxun said: "No, just sit around."

Meng Ran: "..."

It just so happened that Gu Cen looked over at this time and silently exchanged glances with Meng Ran.

Meng Ran didn't see any emotion from Gu Cen's eyes, but he also knew that Lu Ouxun shouldn't be here at this time.

Meng Ran asked Lu Ouxun again: "Didn't you want to rehearse?"

Lu Ouxun: "It's over."

Meng Ran: "Are you okay?"

Lu Ouxun shrugged: "Yes, it's all right."

Meng Ran: "..."

Gu Cen started to clean up the computer at this time, Meng Ran got up after receiving the flash signal, and said to Lu Ouxun: "Then sit down, we are leaving."

Lu Ouxun raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

"what."

Meng Ran responded vaguely.

Lu Ouxun also stood up, with a casual look: "I'm fine, it's just right, let's go together."

Gu Cen: "..."

Meng Ran: "..."

Lu Ouxun really followed Gu Cen and Meng Ran out of the cafe.

Gu Cen silently looked at Meng Ran, who pursed the corners of his lips apologetically.

It's okay for Gu Cen to show his eyes, but he still said to Meng Ran: "Then let's do this for today."

Meng Ran paused, "Oh, good."

He raised his hand and waved at Gu Cen, "Goodbye."

Gu Cen smiled and left.

As soon as Gu Cen left, Meng Ran silently took a deep breath, very, very speechless.

Speechless!

He held his breath, turned his head to Lu Ouxun with a bad expression, and when Lu Ouxun saw that Gu Cen had left just like that, he asked in an ordinary tone: "He left?"

The breath in Meng Ran's throat was let out so silently.

Well, don't blame Lu Ouxun.

Lu Ouxun didn't know that he was dating Gu Cen.

Forget it.

Meng Ran finally went back to the library, together with Lu Ouxun.

The book was spread out in front of him, under his arm, and Meng Ran was holding the phone in his hand.

[Meng Ran]: I was really embarrassed just now.

[Gu Cen]: It's okay.

[Gu Cen]: You don't need to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong.

Meng Ran thought about it.

[Meng Ran]: The coffee just now is delicious.

[Gu Cen]: As long as you like it.

[Gu Cen]: Do you still have a part-time job at night?

[Meng Ran]: I want to go.

[Gu Cen]: Then I'll go find you at night.

[Meng Ran]: Alright.

Putting down the phone, Meng Ran regained his mentality, thinking that Gu Cen would come over in the evening, he was already silently looking forward to it.

However, after dinner, Meng Ran was going to "Golden Night Dream", and Lu Ouxun also went, and said: "I have been busy with rehearsals these days, so I don't have time to go."

Meng Ran: "..."

It's not easy for Meng Ran to tell Lu Ouxun "don't go", so Lu Ouxun can only accompany him.

Go to Qing, Meng Ran put on his apron, thought for a while, and was about to send a message to Gu Cen, telling him that Lu Ouxun was also there.

After thinking about it, even if Lu Ouxun is not there, there are still many people in the bar. To Gu Cen, is there anything special about Lu Ouxun that needs his special explanation?

After explaining it, there was a feeling that there was no silver 300 taels here, as if Lu Ouxun really had something between them.

Forget it.

Meng Ran put away the phone.

After nine o'clock, Meng Ran was busy when Gu Cen came.

Gu Cen didn't see Lu Ouxun at first, and when he entered the door, he smiled at Meng Ran and shook the candied haws he just bought in his hand.

Meng Ran took the time to greet her: "For me?"

Gu Cen handed it over, and took it back when Meng Ran reached out, teasing Meng Ran: "Call someone."

Meng Ran honestly shouted: "Senior."

Gu Cen then handed over the candied haws.

Knowing that Meng Ran was busy, Gu Cen didn't take up too much of Meng Ran's time.

However, when he was about to go to his old seat, there was already someone in that seat, and he was still an "acquaintance" who had just met in the afternoon.

Seeing Lu Ouxun, Gu Cen kept his expression down, showing nothing.

He didn't go there either. Seeing that there was an empty seat on the other side of the bar, he walked to the other side of the bar.

Sitting down, Ah Tan greeted him, with a hint of teasing, and asked: "What are you drinking today? Or "I miss you very much"?"Or simply "lovely"? "

Gu Cen smiled and asked, "Is there any wine? You can't make it up."

Ah Qin continued to tease: "I didn't have it before, but I just had it recently."

Meng Ran also came over and asked Gu Cen, "What do you want to eat?"

Gu Cen looked at the candied haws in Meng Ran's hand: "Do you want me to order candied haws?"

Meng Ran glared at him reproachfully, holding the candied haws in his hand aside as if hiding a treasure.

Gu Cen laughed: "I won't fight with you."

Meng Ran pouted, snorted, lifted the board on the bar, walked in, passed through the curtain, and entered the back kitchen.

Gu Cen looked at Meng Ran's figure with a smile on his lips.

The whole process was clearly seen by Lu Ouxun on the other side of the bar.

Lu Ouxun scoffed in his heart: what?Isn't it just candied haws?

It just so happened that a few customers at the bar got up and left.

Without the shadow of these people, Lu Ouxun turned his head and saw Gu Cen on the other side, Gu Cen also turned his head, and the two looked at each other coldly.

Meng Ran came out at this time, took out a platter of fruits and snacks, and put it in front of Gu Cen.

Ah Qin still didn't let him go, teasing: "Do we have this set meal in our store? No."

Meng Ran glanced at Ah Tan, Gu Cen smiled and said, "No, special treatment, only this one."

Ah Tan: "Tsk tsk."

At this time, Lu Ouxun raised his hand, waved at Meng Ran, and raised his voice: "Why is this the only one? I want it too."

He said in a calm and steady tone, "What special package can't be had by me, a distinguished card-charging member?"

Meng Ran: "..."

Gu Cen: "..."
