Prohibition of losing contact

From childhood to adulthood, Pei You could count the number of times he lied on one hand.

He is not good at lying, and his mental quality is not so good, so that in just a few steps, he walked more nervously than Zhou Qingbai who was hiding behind and watching.

Fortunately, Zhou Cangshan is a decent person who doesn't give in to him. When he saw Pei You from a long distance, his first reaction was not suspicion, and he even greeted him seriously.

"Mr. Pei." Zhou Cangshan was quite polite to Pei You, nodded at him, and said politely, "Are you here to play too?"

Pei You came over from the stage, prepared several drafts along the way, and considered seventeen or eight kinds of opening remarks. He was afraid that he would show timidity, so he sold Zhou Qingbai at the first opening, but unexpectedly, Zhou Cangshan would take the initiative to talk to him. Almost caught Pei You by surprise.

"I'm here to find someone." Fortunately, Pei You came to his senses quickly, shook hands with Zhou Cangshan, and asked, "You, too, came to drink?"

Zhou Cangshan retracted his handshake with Pei You, and subconsciously turned his head to glance at the direction of the stage when he heard this.

The performance on the stage has ended, and the wine tower has basically been distributed, only a few waiters are doing finishing work on it.The protagonist of the above show has long since disappeared, and Zhou Cangshan came a step too late, and he didn't even touch the fox's tail.

"I'm not." Zhou Cangshan paused for a moment, as if he was a bit embarrassed to say it, and didn't know how to answer.

The bar was extremely lively today. Zhou Cangshan glanced at the lobby, only to see strange faces holding wine glasses everywhere. There were uniformed bartenders standing guard in the two "high-risk areas" of the stage and the bar. Zhou Qingbai There are no shadows.

Strange, Zhou Cangshan thought, the secretary told him clearly that Zhou Qingbai came to Sanlitun today, why is he not here now.

"Mr. Pei." Zhou Cangshan was pondering, when he caught sight of Pei You who was beside him out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "When did you come?"

"I've been here for a while." Pei You said, "I just watched a performance here."

"Really?" Zhou Cangshan glanced around the stage again, and asked with some embarrassment: "The one just performed..."

Zhou Cangshan wanted to ask if Zhou Qingbai was performing, but he didn't know how to say it.He still wanted to save some face for Zhou Qingbai in front of outsiders, so he was in a dilemma, and he seemed a little hesitant.

"The performance... was pretty good." Pei You coughed dryly, and said, "That little girl's skills are very good, and she looks very professional. But it seems that they only performed one performance, and Mr. Zhou came late today."

Pei You didn't know how to dispel Zhou Cangshan's suspicion, so he could only tell the truth away from Zhou Qingbai.But he was nervous. When he talked about "little girl", his mind was full of the scene of Zhou Qingbai lighting the wine tower, and he almost stumbled.

Fortunately, the bar was dimly lit and the background sound was too loud, so Zhou Cangshan didn't notice his unnaturalness, but relaxed his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then forget it." Zhou Cangshan said smoothly: "By the way, I suddenly remembered that the company still has something to do, so I left first."

It was a good thing that Zhou Cangshan didn't pursue the matter any more. Pei You watched his back leave the hall and heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that it was harder to fool people than making reports, and he would really do less of this kind of thing in the future.

He sent Zhou Cangshan away, and wanted to go back to find Zhou Qingbai, but found that the other party was no longer there.

The people around the stage had almost dispersed, the bartending table had been removed and replaced with a wheat stand, and they were making adjustments for the second half of the performance. Pei You stood in place and looked around, but Zhou Qingbai was nowhere to be seen.

He frowned in confusion, and was about to take out his cell phone to ask Zhou Qingbai if he had gone back when he felt a light pat on his shoulder from behind.

He turned around, and before he could see the person clearly, he felt something cold brush past his cheek.

"Who are you looking for?" Zhou Qingbai asked with a smile.

He was still wearing the clothes on the stage, and the silver jacket reflected a bit of metallic shattering light under the light. He threw the Coke in his left hand to his right, then habitually spun around to catch it, and stuffed it into the jacket pocket.

"Zhou Qingbai—"

"Who is Zhou Qingbai?" Zhou Qingbai opened his eyes wide in surprise, tilted his head, and said seriously, "My name is Zhou Qingsong, you must have mistaken me."

Pei You: "..."

The expression on Pei You's face was blank for a moment, Zhou Qingbai couldn't help laughing, and put his hand on his shoulder.

"I'm just kidding you." Zhou Qingbai said, "Thank you very much for helping me out."

The behavior of Pei You standing on the same front with him put Zhou Qingbai in a good mood. The sense of crisis in his heart that someone had invaded his comfort zone disappeared instantly, and even his attitude towards Pei You became casual, unconsciously. The boundary line he set was vaguely blurred.

When Pei You went to deal with Zhou Cangshan just now, Zhou Qingbai was watching from the side of the stage.Zhou Cangshan didn't notice it, but Zhou Qingbai saw it very clearly. Pei You is such an honest person, asking him to lie would be like killing him. Zhou Qingbai glanced down, guessing that his palms are probably sweaty now.

Zhou Qingbai didn't like to overlap the social circles of "President Zhou" and "Brother Zhou", because the two are usually not very compatible.Influenced by Zhou Cangshan, the former felt that the latter was not doing his job properly, while the latter felt that the former was fake and prudish.

At first glance, Pei You was the kind of top student who had always been a top student since childhood. Zhou Qingbai originally thought that he should have the same opinion as Zhou Cangshan and the others, but now it seems that he was too hasty.

"No matter what, I owe you a favor." Zhou Qingbai said with a smile, "You can ask me anytime."

While speaking, Zhou Qingbai made a casual gesture, looking a little childish.

He smiled happily, the corners of his eyes were slightly curved, and the eyes were shining brightly. Looking at his smile, Pei You suddenly had an answer to the confusion in his heart.

This is the real him, Pei You thought.

At least during the day and in the company, Zhou Qingbai never smiled like this.Before that, his smile was gentle, restrained, with a slight sense of alienation, polite, but never out of bounds.

Unlike now, he is much more lively.

Zhou Qingbai was right, and Pei You suddenly remembered what Zhou Qingbai had said in the coffee shop - a meal really didn't mean anything, before today, he didn't know that Zhou Qingbai's "nature" was like this .

It is obviously an unpleasant thing for a blind date to be concealed, but the strange thing is that Pei You didn't notice any dissatisfaction with being neglected, but felt that Zhou Qingbai at this moment was also quite good.

It seems free, open-minded, and very real.

Zhou Qingbai led Pei You forward with arms crossed.The bar was overcrowded, and Zhou Qingbai often had to turn sideways to avoid the crowd. When he got close to him a few times, Pei You could smell a little lime juice from him.

Refreshing, with a slightly sweet smell.

Zhou Qingbai was very close to him, and Pei You could see the ruby ​​earrings on his earlobe with one side of his head.Bartending is a laborious job, and the sweat on his body has not completely disappeared. Pei You watched the beads of sweat on his forehead flow down the side of his neck, seeping into the black T-shirt very slowly.

"Also, your wine tonight will be charged to my account." Zhou Qingbai led him to the side of the bar, pressed him to sit in front of the bar, then patted Pei You on the shoulder, bent down and lifted the bar baffle He got in, smiled and looked sideways at him: "Drink whatever you want, and if you make an appointment, I will also remember it."

It's fine if Zhou Qingbai doesn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Pei Youcai belatedly remembered why he came today.

A look of annoyance suddenly appeared on his face, he quickly got off the high stool, and asked eagerly, "By the way, where is booth No. 17 in Area C?"

Zhou Qingbai raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, leaned on the bar and got a little closer, and asked maliciously: "Did someone?"

"...Mmm." Pei You nodded in embarrassment.

"On your left, that road goes straight ahead, the third booth in the second row." Zhou Qingbai propped his chin, pointed to the semi-open area in the distance, and said, "It's over there."

Pei You has never been late for a blind date, only this time he was delayed by Zhou Qingbai for more than ten minutes. He was anxious and felt that this was really impolite, so he hurriedly nodded to Zhou Qingbai, and then hurriedly headed towards Area C up.

Staring at his back, Zhou Qingbai raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It's quite cute, Zhou Qingbai thought, why didn't I find it before.

He watched Pei You enter Area C, and then quietly straightened up, picked up a cup from under the bar and wiped it back and forth with a soft cloth.

Ge Xing came out of nowhere, and sat carelessly on the spot where Pei You had just sat, and put the empty glass in his hand on the bar, signaling Zhou Qingbai to refill it.

"That was Pei You just now?" Ge Xing asked?

"Yes." Zhou Qingbai poured him half a glass of wine and said casually, "He has an appointment."

"You seem to have a good relationship." Ge Xing said pointedly.

Zhou Qingbai knew what he was going to say when he saw his expression, he raised his eyebrows and cut him off.

"I'm not suitable for him." Zhou Qingbai said.

"Why?" Ge Xing asked puzzled.

"Because I'm a bachelor." Zhou Qingbo said confidently.

"Fart." Ge Xing laughed angrily at him: "Don't fool me with this, you just haven't met someone you like. If you meet someone who likes you more than the real trouble, you will run faster than anyone else."

Ge Xing knew Zhou Qingbai very well. He had a rigorous family style, and he couldn't do things in his bones.But Zhou Jianguo and Zhou Cangshan are more rigid than the other, Zhou Qingbai wants to clear his feelings, it is as difficult as heaven.

In addition, he hasn't met anyone he likes to death, so compared to falling in love and being irresponsible, it's better to be single and free.

"If you want me to say, hasn't he seen your true face, and still has psychological pressure?" Ge Xing asked: "Try it, or do you think he is not good enough?"

"No." Zhou Qingbai licked his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, I think he is suitable to find a gentle and careless Xiaojia Biyu, who has excellent tutoring, good grades, motivated and easy-going-this is how he compares with him." To save him from being bullied."

Hearing this, Ge Xing couldn't help rolling his big eyes, and complained sincerely: "Brother, the Qing Dynasty is dead, why are you still making stereotypes here-what if people like you like you?"

"I can't, human nature can't stand the test." Zhou Qingbai said with a smile: "He looks too honest, I might not be able to help bullying him."
