so many crushes

This is a Japanese style restaurant.

Walking into the gate is a simple and quiet tea garden, with a meandering path paved with gravel and exquisite stone lanterns standing beside the road.A moss-covered rockery sits in a pond, and there are several lively koi in it.The bushes are very luxuriant and the growth is gratifying. Although the location is deliberately arranged, it gives people a natural sense of comfort.

The store is dominated by gray and white tones, and it looks peaceful and very Zen. There are no waiters, only the owner is smiling at the order counter and said: "It's the first time I see Mu Feng bringing customers here."

He didn't show any strange eyes to He Qiduo, as if the overwhelming scandal a few days ago hadn't spread to this paradise.

Shu Mufeng's indifferent expression was a little loose, and he seemed to be very familiar with the shop owner, "Did you collect any stories today?"

The shopkeeper laughed again, "Fortunately, it's enough to listen to one story every day."

The shopkeeper led them to the box and closed the door. When they entered the door, they were greeted by an ukiyo-e style screen, and lifelike flowers and birds almost jumped out of the painting.There was a low table in the private room, and there were two cups of steaming tea on the table.The tatami mats exude the fragrance of straw, and the simple and elegant chandeliers are warm and peaceful.

For Qiao Shangsi, He Qiduo is actually somewhat contradictory. On the one hand, he hopes that Qiao Shangsi can stand out, but under the premise of He Qiduo's own small achievements, it doesn't matter if he is capable or not.Especially when he saw Qiao Shansi returning to the room full of memories in disgrace, he felt a sense of satisfaction of being depended on.

As for Qiao Shangsi's return, Shu Mufeng is undoubtedly the one with the most sense of crisis, which is why he made so many appointments.

"I didn't expect there to be such a place in City Z. I thought I would go to the Japanese restaurant when we first met again." He Qiduo sat on the futon and relaxed.

"It's more meaningful here. The owner is from country J. He used to work as a housekeeper in my house, and then left to open such a shop."

He Qiduo asked suspiciously: "It seems that there is not much traffic, but the decoration is high-end, how can you afford it?"

"My investment is equivalent to buying his craftsmanship."

How silent, this kind of young master born with a golden spoon is really different from ordinary people, and his consumption concept is not only a higher level.

After a short exchange of pleasantries, Shu Mufeng started to get down to business. He took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I heard that Qiao Shangsi is back."

"how do you know?"

He Qiduo was a bit surprised, he didn't mention Qiao Shangsi's return to China to anyone else, only Yu Qian called and wanted to pimp him.Qiao Shangsi walked to He Qiduo silently, making a vague sound to prove his existence.

Among the many circles of friends, only Yu and his wife know about this.

Shu Mufeng said helplessly, "Did you forget that our circle is the same?"

He Qiduo was at a loss for words for a while, he subconsciously believed that after graduation, Shu Mufeng and him were people from two worlds.He walked his Yangguan Road, and he crossed his single-plank bridge.There should have been no more involvement, but for some reason, there was a entanglement of constant cutting and chaos.

"Yu Gan told you?"

"Yeah." As for Yu Gan's reluctance to see him, he waited for a long time until Xiang Wanyi couldn't bear to intercede for him, and Yu Gan reluctantly let go. Naturally, Shu Mufeng wouldn't talk about these details.

After a brief silence, Shu Mufeng raised the topic again, "What are your plans when he comes back?"

"What other plans do you have? Let him work in our company. I don't know how he has lived in the past few years. He is in such a mess." He Qiduo said and felt distressed again.

Shu Mufeng saw it, recalling what Qiao Shangsi said to him when he was in Somniferum a few years ago, he always felt that things were not that simple.

Qiao Shangsi's possessiveness towards He Qiduo was abnormally strong, and Shu Mufeng could even suspect that he had the same thoughts as himself.

But He Qiduo doesn't seem to know.

"Then why did his uncle take him back?"

He Qiduo shook his head, "He didn't say much, and I didn't ask too much, so let's not talk about him. But you, have made such a big fuss a while ago, will it have any impact on your future work?"

"It's already been suppressed." Shu Mufeng said calmly, "It wasn't my family who did it."

"Who is that?" He Qiduo blurted out, "Your Jin..."

"I don't have a benefactor." Shu Mufeng glanced at him expressionlessly, paused for a moment and said, "The only benefactor I can accept is you."

He Qiduo fell into a weird silence again.

After eating and drinking, He Qiduo was ready to drive Shu Mufeng home. He was dressed thinly, and was shivered by the cold wind as soon as he walked out the door.He Qiduo frowned slightly, took off his coat very naturally, put it on Shu Mufeng, and wrapped him tightly.

After completing a series of actions, He Qiduo realized how inappropriate his actions were.

The two sat in the car without saying a word, He Qiduo turned on the heater to the maximum, the temperature inside the car had risen, but Shu Mufeng still didn't take off his coat.

After a long time, Shu Mufeng said lightly, "Since you care about me and agree to my invitation, why can't you accept my intention?"

He Qiduo started the engine and said without squinting: "I don't want to fall into the same pit twice."

"Haven't I proved enough?" Shu Mufeng was a little excited, his face flushed by the heat.

"It's none of your business, it's because I have a gap in my heart." He Qiduo's inner defense is much stronger than what he shows, even if he can get along with the person who hurt him, He Qiduo will not divide him into the intimate relationship circle up.

No matter how intimate the behavior is, they will not talk to each other.

When he arrived downstairs at Shu Mufeng's house, he didn't get out of the car in a hurry, but stared at He Qiduo intently, his eyes were bottomless, "Either you find a partner as soon as possible to make me give up, or be ready to be chased by me." mental preparation. I have recognized my heart, and I will never give up halfway like you."

After speaking, he opened the car door and walked away, leaving behind a lonely and fragile figure.

He Qiduo looked at his back and was a little lost. He couldn't tell what he was feeling. It would be a lie to say that he didn't care if he was liked so much, but it only stayed at this level.

Feelings cannot be controlled artificially. The reason why He Qiduo is indifferent to Shu Mufeng's pursuit is in the final analysis because he is not He Qiduo's favorite type.

Perhaps the liking in college was just because of his amazing temperament, but unfortunately after being polished by the society, Shu Mufeng is no longer the original him.

"Thinking about it this way, I'm really a bit of a scumbag." He Qiduo murmured self-deprecatingly, "But at least I didn't promise him against my conscience. My three views are still worthy of recognition."

He Qiduo exhaled, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

As soon as he left, a Bentley also drove away quietly.

The Bentley was parked downstairs in a high-end residential area. A young man got off the driver's seat and went to the elevator to go upstairs with a frosty face.

After arriving at the designated floor, he inserted the key into the lock, opened the door and entered the house, and then closed it heavily, as if venting his suppressed anger.After a while, there were bursts of falling things inside.
