Xia Yu is not very sensitive to the atmosphere of the outside world, to be exact, he doesn't care at all.

After completing the introduction work, he went to the lounge to change his uniform.

Qu Zao was dropped by him on the edge of the bar, looking greedily at Chen Ci, not knowing what to say.Chen Ci ran into Qu Zao unpreparedly and was terribly frightened.

Qu Zao could almost see the whole process of Chen Ci forcibly suppressing his curiosity, walked half a meter away, and asked him very bluntly, "Want mulled wine?"

"Hmm..." Qu Zao cleared his throat and said "thank you" to him.

The mulled wine was packed in a large and deep container, and Chen Ci found a red mug with a thick wall and a wide handle, which looked clumsy.He put crushed almonds and raisins in it, poured a spoonful of mulled wine into it, and finally added lemon slices and cinnamon rolls, and served it to Quzao.

It was the first time I tried mulled wine, and I poured it in a big mouthful after I blew on it. It was sweet and strong. The taste of cinnamon and other spices had covered up the taste of the red wine. It was so hot that he covered his mouth and coughed uncontrollably.

There was an extra glass of water on the bar in front of him, Chen Ci went to a place a little further away to entertain the guests, without looking over again.

After Xia Yu arrived at the post, she and Chen Ci divided the bar counter into two semicircles, serving separately.Qu Zao happened to be sitting in the western half where Xia Yu was in charge of, and the surrounding seats were full of people. If he wanted to see Chen Ci, he had to twist his neck very hard and keep looking eastward.

This reminded him of the day when he secretly followed Chen Ci and Chu Xingzhou on a date, it seemed that it was also this time of the year, the streets were hung with Christmas lights, the windows were full of flowers, and they spared no effort to decorate the winter.

The kiss that Chen Ci did not offer was later obtained by Qu Zao many times; Chen Ci, who is not rare in Chu Xingzhou, has now become the most precious person of Qu Zao, and it is the reason for him to live.

Fate arranged a humorous encounter and a tragic separation for them, can they reward him with another chance?

Xia Yu mixed and served the wine with a blank face, and didn't pay much attention to Qu Zao, and only took the initiative to refill him with a new one when the wine or water in his glass was empty.Qu Zao was a little bored, and the drinkers around him were chatting passionately with their companions, so it seemed out of place for him to sit among them.But he was also reluctant to leave, he sipped the wine in the glass one mouthful at a time, until the end he forgot how many glasses he drank in total, he just felt warm all over his body.

A long-awaited sleepiness hit him, and he lay limply on the bar counter, falling asleep.

When he woke up again, the seats around were empty, and Xia Yu behind the bar was wiping the cup with a white soft cloth.

Qu Zao sat up abruptly, and asked him, "Where's Chen Ci?"

Xia Yu didn't expect Qu Zao's question, and replied in a daze: "Brother Chen is home from closing time, I'll take you home later."

"Oh..." Qu Zao was discouraged all of a sudden.

"Do you know Brother Chen?" After a while, Xia Yu asked him.

Qu Zao nodded, his glass had already been taken away, so he found an empty glass and took water to drink.

"How is Brother Chen?" Qu Zao tried to make his voice sound flat, as if he was asking about the situation of an old friend.

"It's okay, I was sick some time ago, but I'm fine now." Xia Yu said.

"Ill? What kind of illness? Is it serious?"

Xia Yu finally looked up, looked at Qu Zao carefully, and said vaguely, "I don't know what the disease is, and I stayed in the hospital for a while."

Qu Zao murmured: "They are all hospitalized..."

Xia Yu wiped the cups, slowly put them back in place, and sat back on the stool to smoke and rest.

"Xiaozao, Brother Chen should have someone he likes." He advised Qu Zao, "I know Brother Chen is fine, but your treatment has just begun, so don't put too much emotional pressure on yourself."

Qu Zao was surprised: "Chen Ci has someone he likes?"

"Well," Xia Yu nodded, and answered honestly, "Before, he always changed shifts, piled up all the work during the day, and ran home to cook for his wife at night. Sometimes he was busy, and he came back in the early morning. We ran home again in the morning.”

Xia Yu shrugged and concluded, "They have a very good relationship, so give up."

Qu Zao rolled his eyes, but didn't listen to Xia Yu's words.Not only did he not give up, but his dead heart came back to life, beating in his chest.

With nothing to do at night, Qu Zao went to Xia Yu's side and asked him, "Brother, is your bar still short of staff?" He pointed to himself, "What do you think of me? I'm a fast learner, and I have a lot of staff Time, you can stay up late, and you don’t need money.”

Xia Yu was a little hesitant: "We are very short of people, but this matter still has to be decided by Brother Chen, he is the boss."

"No problem!" Qu Zao smiled at him, "Tell me what time to come, and I will report on time."

Xia Yu made an appointment with him half an hour before his start time, and decided to show him to Brother Chen first, and if he passed, he would stay with him to study.It just so happened that Christmas was coming, and the bar was getting busier every day, and he and Chen Ci couldn't keep up with it.

Of course Chen Ci refused, and took Qu Zao to the lounge to talk alone.

"Brother, I just want to help you and learn something." Qu Zao chased after him, acting coquettishly.

Entering the lounge, Chen Ci closed the door before rebutting him, "You quit the university you worked so hard to get into, just to learn this?"

"Of course not!" Qu Zao retorted, and suddenly reacted, "Brother, how did you know that I dropped out of school?" No one knew about this, even Shen Ru was kept in the dark.

"You went to my school to look for me, didn't you?" Qu Zao leaned forward and asked.

Chen Ci pursed her lips and did not deny it.

Qu Zao thought about him to death, why didn't he?

I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I secretly went to Qu Zao's school to see him, but I couldn't find him in the teaching building, library, or dormitory, so I only found out after asking the Academic Affairs Office.Just as he was about to ask someone to find out the whereabouts of Qu Zao, the kid himself delivered it to his door.

Chen Ci looked at Qu Zao, put on the airs of his elder brother and taught him: "Xiao Zao, I thought this incident would make you mature, why are you still so self-willed?"

"I've already enrolled in university, and I don't want to study if I don't want to study; we agreed to break up, and now we are arguing about going to work with a kite... Have you ever thought about how disappointed your mother would be if she knew what she was doing now? "Chen Ci's tone became softer, "Be obedient, go back to study, I will find a way to help you go through the formalities for returning to school, okay?"

Qu Zao shook his head, "Is university a place where I can come and go whenever I want? I have already decided not to go, so I won't go. This is a decision I made after careful consideration. How do you know that I have no plans for the future?" plan?"

"I..." Chen Ci choked.

"You don't let me work in Kite, but you can't stop me from coming here for consumption, right?" Qu Zao said, "I will come every day from now on, and I will come to see you every day. My doctor said, I have to learn to please myself , follow my own heart."

"My heart tells me that I have to see you every day, or I will die." He looked at Chen Ci, "Does brother want to see me die?"

"Qu Zao!" Chen Ci sternly said, "I know you are working hard to get better. Whether you want to see a psychiatrist or learn new knowledge, I agree with all of these. But we are over, you can't keep pestering you like this, otherwise you Never get out."

"Who said I want to come out?" Qu Zao was not at all afraid, "You said that we can't be together with a sense of guilt, I agree. But I will find a way to remove these shackles on us, and then follow the You are together."

"Aren't you very handsome, you don't want to break up right away, why are you sending him to the doctor with stomach bleeding, and sneaking to my school to find me... You don't want to break up either, you don't want to!" Qu Zao hugged Chen Ci into his arms. In his arms, "Why are you always so responsible? Sacrificing your own happiness in exchange for superficial peace, do you think everyone will be grateful?"

"My mother, your father, me and you, and the people around us...you live in pain, those who truly love you can feel it, and we will not gain real happiness because of your sacrifice. "

Chen Ci paused for a moment, then pushed Qu Zao away, almost being entangled by this kid.

"Don't think about these things every day, go back to school quickly." Chen Ci turned around and ran away in a panic.

Qu Zao didn't care at all, and chased after Chen Ci, "Brother, let me chase you again, I will give us a good future, none of us should suppress our emotions, and none of us should live in chains."

"Shut up, you!" Chen Ci fled to the door of the lounge, turned his head to teach Qu Zao, but almost hit his chest, his voice immediately dropped a few decibels, "...out this door, you give me Be careful what you say."

Qu Zao smiled, and just as the door was opened, he heard his loud and clear answer: "Okay, husband!"

In the days that followed, the bar staff, regular customers, and some nosy customers all knew that Boss Chen had a passionate little lover.

Qu Zao came almost every night, sat smiling and sitting across from Chen Ci, sometimes only ordered a glass of milk, and followed him all night.Boss Chen, who has always been tolerant and easy-going, became more and more irritable under his gaze, and taught him from time to time: "Qu Zao, look again and shut your eyes!", "Aren't you going home? Why don't you stay and clean up? !", "Today it's fucking minus ten degrees, and I'm only wearing a little bit, so who can show me how pitiful I am?!"

Sometimes when the bar was too busy, Qu Zao would act as a waiter and deliver wine around the venue. The tips he earned would be pulled off Chen Ci's collar and slipped in jokingly.

In the end, of course, there will be a big scolding.

In the early summer, the lease of the room above Chen Ci expired, and Qu Zao rented it without further ado.

On the night of moving, he brought two bottles of wine and knocked on Chen Ci's door.Because of the epidemic, all the major restaurants and bars in M ​​City have stopped dining in, and are not allowed to open after [-] pm, so Boss Chen is free.

Qu Zao stuffed two bottles of wine into his arms without any explanation, saying that they were gifts from the new neighbors.Chen Ci took a look at the wine bottle, and found that the bar was short of wine for a while. Recently, the shipping policy has been tightened again and again, and this wine has been out of supply for a long time.

Qu Zao told him triumphantly: "I bought ten boxes, which can be shipped to the bar's warehouse tomorrow morning."

"How did you get it?"

"I found it from Lion City. Although the country of origin of this wine is in country E, Lion City is one of their production factories. I accidentally found that they started to produce this wine this year, so I wrote an email to it. In the future, I can buy it from Imported from Lion City, the freight is cheaper and fresher." Qu Zao asked him, "Am I very good?"

Chen Ci acquiesced, took the wine and told him to leave quickly.

Goo—a cry came from Qu Zao's stomach, and when he looked up again, the young man's face was red, and he couldn't speak any swear words, he just wanted to leave quickly and go home.

"Wait..." After all, it's the right thing to cook a bowl of noodles for him after taking away his wine, right?

After more than half a year, Qu Zao tasted Chen Ci's craftsmanship again.

He choked up and was moved by the clear bowl of noodles. He was so hungry that he wanted to swallow it whole, but he cherished it very much, and finished the noodles in big bites.

Chen Ci was sitting on the sofa flipping through magazines, but his eyes were actually locked on the back of Qu Zao who was snorting and eating noodles in the restaurant not far away.Last year, he worked so hard to cook, and managed to fatten him up a bit. How could he have imagined that after only a few months, Qu Zao had returned to his thinner appearance when they first met.

It's just... has this kid been exercising recently?Why does it feel stronger than before?

The back is wider, and the waist is straight when sitting down, looking very upright?

Chen Ci was so fascinated that Qu Zao stood in front of him and stared at him for a long time, but he didn't react.

"Brother...brother?" Qu Zao called him, "I have washed all the dishes, thank you for your noodles."

"Oh! Mmmm!" Chen Ci recovered and nodded awkwardly.

"Then... I'm leaving?" Qu Zao knelt down and said goodbye to him at eye level.

"Well, let's go." Chen Ci was still numb.

"In the future, when you are not busy...that is, when you are not busy during the day, can I come to your house for dinner?" Qu Zao asked, "I don't know how to cook, so I can only eat fast food during the day; otherwise I will be hungry. With a stomach full, go to the bar to drink milk at night."

How can this work?After all, Chen Ci took care of Qu Zao for a whole year, so it seems that he has no food to eat.So he nodded subconsciously and agreed.

"Great!" Qu Zao smiled innocently again, and said gratefully, "Thank you husband!"

Husband... Chen Ci reacted dully, as if he hadn't heard him call himself that for a long time.

Qu Zao looked at Chen Ci for a while, and felt that the other party was not resisting, so he leaned forward and kissed him very tenderly.

After about 2 minutes, he was pushed away by Chen Ci who woke up like a dream.

Qu Zao happily went upstairs to go home, and couldn't help being proud of her decision to move upstairs to Chen Ci.How can he be so smart when he is close to the water and the platform is the first to get the moon!

Just when Qu Zao thought that he and Chen Cineng would keep getting closer like this, and then it would be a matter of course, and they would be together naturally.

Early the next morning, he received a sad news. The epidemic situation in M ​​City is severe, and their community is classified as a key epidemic prevention area, and the policy of "staying at home, visiting/door-to-door for nucleic acid" is adopted.

Seeing Chen Ci again, it will be a month later.
