Qin Zijiao strode over and said to Li Shuo sternly, "You made him drink so much?"
Li Shuo looked at Qin Zijiao, and jokingly said, "It's him who wants to drink away his worries."
Qin Zijiao's face darkened, and he stretched out his hand to take Luo Rui. Li Shuo turned sideways slightly and walked over. He smiled gently and said, "Luo Rui told me that you have already broken up. It's inappropriate for you to do this now."
"I'm not suitable, are you suitable?" Qin Zijiao patted Luo Rui's face: "Luo Rui, wake up."
Luo Rui shook his head and looked at him in disbelief: "You... why are you here?" He saw that Qin Zijiao's face and body were covered with sweat, and his breath was still a little unstable.
"Yaoyao said you drank too much, do you know how messy it is here?"
"How did you... find me?" Luo Rui looked back in confusion, such a long street, could it be that Qin Zijiao's family came here
"I'll take you back." Qin Zijiao stretched out his hand to hug Luo Rui again, but Li Shuo pushed him away again.
Qin Zijiao narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
Li Shuo was still very gentle from expression to tone, but his words were very strong: "My friend said, you have broken up, and breaking up means that there is no relationship. I can't hand over my drunk friend to someone who has no relationship. people."
"Then who are you!" Qin Zijiao's eyes turned red, and he grabbed Li Shuo's collar.
Luo Rui was mostly sober from the wine, he held Qin Zijiao's wrist with both hands, and said anxiously: "What are you doing, let go!"
Qin Zijiao paused every word, gritted his teeth and said, "I, send, you, go home."
Luo Rui's facial features were a little distorted: "Why do I need you to drive me home? I can't take a taxi myself, don't I have any friends, what are you doing here, do you know what 'break up' means?"
Qin Zijiao's brain ached from Luo Rui's series of aggressive questions. If he thought about every question seriously, his head might explode, he only knew that when he heard Yaoyao say that Luo Rui was drunk in the bar street, his worried heart would jump out. And seeing this man holding Luo Rui, he really wanted to...
Li Shuo freed a hand, and slowly pulled Qin Zijiao's hand away, his expression became a little serious: "Little friend, if you are only worried about him, then you can go back now, and I will send him home safely , if you are worried, you can call him to confirm after an hour."
"Who are you?" Qin Zijiao stared at Li Shuo: "Who knows if you believe it or not."
"It's not up to you to decide whether you believe it or not. Obviously, my friend believes me." Li Shuo bent down, deliberately pressed Luo Rui's ear, and said softly, "Can I go?"
Luo Rui nodded in panic. From the moment Qin Zijiao appeared, there was only a mess in his mind. Why don't you want his people, but come here to show concern for him? What does this mean, is it fun to tease him
"Luo Rui..." Qin Zijiao's face was full of anger, as if he was about to explode in the next second.
Luo Rui whispered: "Brother Li will take me back... Tell Yaoyao that I'm fine, so she doesn't have to worry." After much deliberation, the only possibility is that Yaoyao asked him to come.
Li Shuo smiled politely at Qin Zijiao, and helped Luo Rui walk to his car.
Qin Zijiao clenched his fists and rattled, his eyes were full of ruthlessness. He just watched Li Shuo help Luo Rui into the car, calmly adjusted the collar that was messed up by him, and then sat on Driver's seat, drive away.
Qin Zijiao kicked over the trash can in front of him and strode towards his car. He turned around and drove towards Luo Rui's house.
On the way, he received a call from Yaoyao, he said in a deep voice: "What time is it, you are still not asleep!"
Yaoyao was startled, hesitated for a while and said: "Brother, why are you so fierce."
Qin Zijiao was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and returned to normal: "I found him, he's fine."
Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, he said he was with his friends, did you send him home?"
Qin Zijiao's breath was a little irritable, and he held the phone rattling.
Yaoyao seemed to sense that something was wrong: "Brother?"
"Last time for his birthday, there was a guy in a suit, do you remember?"
"Remember, what a handsome uncle."
"who is he?"
"My sisters say he is a friend of Adi, but I don't know the details." Yaoyao said, "Is the boss drinking with him today?"
Qin Zijiao said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Yaoyao was silent for a while: "I heard from my sisters that Adi often introduces boyfriends to Boss Luo, and I think they seem to be a good match."
"What does a child know, don't talk nonsense." Qin Zijiao's tone was a bit harsh.
"You can talk nonsense if you don't understand. Anyway, it's not breaking the law. Since my brother doesn't like Boss Luo, I also hope that Boss Luo can find true love."
"Hurry up and go to sleep!" Qin Zijiao hung up the phone and threw the phone on the car seat in agitation.
That man must have been introduced by Wen Xiaohui, he wanted to introduce a boyfriend to Luo Rui before... Damn it!
Qin Zijiao drove the car downstairs to Luo Rui, and he saw Li Shuo's car. He turned off the ignition, but did not get out of the car for a long time.
The cold wind blowing all the way made him sober up a lot. He began to question himself what happened tonight and why he appeared here.
Just like what the man said, they broke up, and breaking up means... nothing to do, what position does he have to control whether Luo Rui drinks or not, and who will send him home.
But... Thinking of the man hugging Luo Rui and talking softly, a manic anger surged in his chest. He got out of the car and slammed the door hard.
Every second he hesitated here, he couldn't predict what was going on inside, if Luo Rui was...he couldn't think about it anymore.
He knocked hard on the door of Luo Rui's house.
After a while, the door was opened. Li Shuo was not surprised to see him, but blocked the door with his arms crossed: "He just fell asleep, and he made such a big noise in the middle of the night, isn't it a little rude?"
Qin Zijiao pushed him away and rushed in with big strides.
Li Shuo showed a knowing smile.
Probably because the drunk person was too heavy, Li Shuo didn't send Luo Rui back to the room, but temporarily put him in the guest room on the first floor. Qin Zijiao walked into the room quietly and saw Luo Rui lying on the bed, breathing steadily.
He squatted beside the bed, reached out and touched Luo Rui's sweat-soaked forehead, his eyes gleamed with an incomprehensible light in the darkness.
Li Shuo leaned against the door: "You can rest assured now, then we should all go."
Qin Zijiao turned around and glared at him: "I'll stay with him, you can go."
Li Shuo smiled and said, "Who knows if you believe it or not?"
Qin Zijiao clenched his fists, his patience with this man was almost reaching its limit.
Li Shuo naturally knew how to accept when he was good, waved his hand and said, "Okay, then take good care of him, don't take advantage of others' danger."
Qin Zijiao turned his head to look at Luo Rui and ignored him.
Li Shuo smiled lightly and said, "Little friend, it's immoral to lie to others, and it's immoral to lie to yourself, you don't want to have both."
Qin Zijiao froze and did not speak.
Li Shuo left after speaking.
The room suddenly became very quiet, and the sound of Luo Rui's even breathing hit Qin Zijiao's heart one after another. Looking at Luo Rui's sleeping face, Qin Zijiao couldn't help stretching out his hand, and gently touched his smooth face. His fingertips traced an arc along his cheek, and finally landed on the soft lips.
Qin Zijiao swallowed, feeling a longing in his heart, he took two quick breaths, couldn't help leaning over, and planted a light kiss on his lips.
Luo Rui grumbled and turned over. Qin Zijiao was startled, like a thief who was caught on the spot, he backed away abruptly. He sat down on the edge of the bed, leaning against the bedside table, and closed his eyes.
Luo Rui didn't wake up until noon the next day. He rarely drank too much. Although he could drink well, he didn't like alcohol very much. It seems that when people feel uncomfortable, they will rely on alcohol to some extent, just like some kind of ritual .
He got up dizzily, looked down, and saw that he was wearing pajamas. He tried to recall that he was with Li Shuo yesterday, and then... Then Qin Zijiao came? He rubbed his stinging head, suddenly unsure.
How did Qin Zijiao come to look for him, and how did he find him? Couldn't it be that I drank too much and was dreaming last night.
He only remembered that Li Shuo was with him all the time, and Li Shuo should have sent him home in the end, so Li Shuo changed this pajamas for him
Luo Rui felt a little embarrassed, and hoped that she didn't do anything embarrassing yesterday.
He got up and took a shower, and went downstairs to make something for himself to hangover, but he saw the food on the table in a blink of an eye.
He walked over and saw that the food was cold, and he didn't know when it was made. He smelled it and found that it was not bad, so he heated up the food and sent a text message to Li Shuo while eating: Brother Li, thank you You sent me back last night, so I didn't cause you any trouble. He didn't want to call because he was embarrassed, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help asking about Qin Zijiao.
Unexpectedly, Li Shuo called back directly. Luo Rui hurriedly put down the spoon and answered the phone: "Hello, Brother Li."
Li Shuo's magnetic voice is still charming through the phone: "Are you awake? Are you uncomfortable?"
"Haha, kinda." Luo Rui said awkwardly, "I didn't do anything stupid last night, did I?"
Li Shuo said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it. You vomited up in the bar and slept when you got home."
Luo Rui breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry to trouble you, thank you for the breakfast you left for me."
Li Shuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, I can't tell that your craftsmanship is not bad."
"Bachelor, how can you not learn both hands?"
Luo Rui hesitated for a moment, struggling in his heart whether to ask about Qin Zijiao.
While hesitating, Li Shuo smiled and said, "What's the matter? Let me assure you, you were really not ashamed yesterday. Your wine taste is pretty good, don't worry."
Luo Rui hesitated and said: "Oh, that's good... Well, I seemed to be looking at someone I know last night."
"Acquaintance? Who is it?"
"That's right, didn't we meet anyone yesterday?"
"No, have you met anyone?"
"I-I'm not sure."
"Could it be when you went to the bathroom?"
"Ah, maybe..." Luo Rui became confused. Could it be that he was thinking about it every day, so he started dreaming after drinking? It's not impossible, since that day, his mind has been filled with Qin Zijiao all the time, and it is easy to have various hallucinations after drinking too much, but he just didn't expect that he would have such a real hallucination.
It's so sad...
Li Shuo smiled and said, "Don't think too much, just take a good rest."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Rui finished his breakfast dully. After cleaning up the kitchen, he suddenly remembered something and went to look for his mobile phone. He looked through the call records of last night. There was only a call from Yaoyao after nine o'clock, and there was nothing else after that. If Qin Zijiao really wanted to come It's impossible to find him without making a phone call.
He put down the phone dejectedly and rubbed his head vigorously.
Luo Rui, can you be a little bit promising
After that day, Luo Rui kept holding a little expectation in his heart, but as time went by, Qin Zijiao seemed to have completely disappeared from his life, and that little expectation eventually turned into deeper disappointment and sadness.
He had thought about going to Qin Zijiao more than once, even if it was just to take a look from a distance, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to go.
He always thought of Wen Xiaohui. Wen Xiaohui had just arrived in the United States, and he would make distant phone calls to chat with him every now and then. He never said how difficult it was for him to be in a strange place where he could not speak the language, but repeatedly told him to take good care of himself. He just thought, someone Being so kind to him, he can't abuse himself, so even if the thought of going to Qin Zijiao arises eight hundred times a day, he firmly suppresses it.
Gradually, he felt that he was getting better. At least he stopped crying every day, and Qin Zijiao was no longer on his mind for 24 hours. He often researched new desserts until late at night, occupying his thoughts with endless work. The girls in the store accompanied him, comforted him, and tried their best to make him laugh. He realized that he shouldn't take his broken love too seriously. He still has so many people who treat him well and things to be happy about. .
Unknowingly, it's already autumn. After the new students start school, Luo Rui specially launched some cheap desserts suitable for take-out. Every day after school, there will be a small queue in front of his shop.
On this day, the store was doing promotional activities, and there were especially many people. The line almost occupied half of the street, and Luo Rui was helping with packing.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and he picked it up to see that it was Li Shuo calling: "Hello, Brother Li."
Li Shuo's laughter came from the phone: "Luo Rui, is your store offering free delivery today? Why are there so many people?"
"Haha, there is a discount today, buy one get one free, so there are so many people, where are you?"
"I happened to drive by and saw it. Are you free tonight? Can you have a meal?"
"Okay, but it may be later, I haven't finished my work here yet."
Li Shuo smiled: "Why don't I bring a friend to help."
"Ah? No, no, no, we're busy." Letting someone of Li Shuo's worth pack it for him, the money he earns a day is not enough for labor costs.
"It's okay. My friend and I planned to play squash. This sport seems to be a little more fun than squash. If you feel sorry, you can treat yourself tonight."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Luo Rui had no choice but to agree. Li Shuo is really a gentle and kind person, no wonder Wen Xiaohui likes him so much.
After a while, Li Shuo came in with a man. The man had good features, tall and thin, and was quite masculine. If he hadn't stood beside Li Shuo, he would have been a handsome guy.
"Brother Li." Luo Rui ran over sweating profusely: "Sorry, it's too crowded here."
Li Shuo smiled and said, "Look, you're busy, the business is so good, and there are so many beautiful girls in the shop, the whole street is going to be jealous."
Luo Rui laughed and said: "There's nothing to be jealous about, these little girls can bully people."
"Let me introduce you." Li Shuo said: "This is my friend, Cheng Sheng, Cheng Sheng, you have heard of this store, right? This is the boss, named Luo Rui."
Cheng Sheng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, many people in this store have recommended it to me. In fact, our company approached you before and wanted to invest, but you refused."
Luo Rui shook hands with him: "Ah, really, which company?"
"xx investment."
"Oh, I seem to have a little impression." Luo Rui said shyly, "I just want to open a small shop to ensure the quality, and I don't want to make it too busy and tiring."
"I understand that it is precisely because of this attitude that your products are so good and your reputation is so good. Although as an investor, I feel it is a pity, but I also appreciate your decision."
Luo Rui thought to himself, as expected of Li Shuo's friend, he is really stylish.
Li Shuo said: "Hey, let's go and help out, and save a workout."
Cheng Sheng rolled up his sleeves: "No problem."
Luo Rui hurriedly said: "Are you serious? Forget it, you go to the office and sit for a while, I'll leave when I'm done."
Li Shuo rubbed his little curly hair: "It's all here, you should relax, we want to eat early too."
The two of them actually went over to help with the packing, and the girls in the store were obviously a little excited.
Luo Rui was also very happy. They were talking and laughing, and they were all full of energy.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer desserts prepared today, Luo Rui quietly asked A Ran to save some, intending to bring them back to Li Shuo and Cheng Sheng.
Cheng Sheng walked up to Luo Rui, lowered his head and whispered in Luo Rui's ear, "I'm having an occupational disease. I just calculated quietly. Your net profit today may not be able to cover your costs."
Luo Rui chuckled: "How did you figure it out? I don't even know how to do it."
Cheng Sheng looked at him in surprise: "You don't count? You dare to do promotional activities because you don't count?"
"I feel... It seems to be about the same, and I shouldn't pay. Because my desserts are not cheap, and the students in the vicinity like them very much. Sometimes I save my meal money to buy them, so I just want to give it back."
Cheng Sheng smiled helplessly: "The materials may not be compensated, but labor is also a cost. This is the first time I see you doing business like this, and you can do such a good job. I really don't know whether I should praise you."
Luo Rui smiled and said, "I don't really care about profit, as long as I can make money."
"Open-minded, I admire it." Cheng Sheng gave him a thumbs up.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Cheng Sheng looked at Luo Rui with bright eyes, Luo Rui sensitively noticed something, and lowered his head shyly.
In the end, almost all the items were sold out, and the people who lined up gradually dispersed. Everyone was so tired that the soles of their feet ached, and they took a rest one after another.
At this time, the store door was pushed open again, Luo Rui said: "I'm sorry today is already..." He was stunned before he finished speaking.
Wearing a long black trench coat in front of him, the person with a icy expression like a sculpture was Qin Zijiao whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Luo Rui couldn't help looking at the black car that had been parked on the side of the street. He was very familiar with that car. He had been in it many times, but he thought it was a model. At this time, the crowd dispersed, and he took a closer look. It turned out that the license plate number was I am also familiar with it. He suddenly remembered that the car seemed to have been parked on the side of the road before Li Shuo arrived. How long has it been parked
There were no customers in the store, and the rest were all staff. Except for Cheng Sheng, everyone here knew Qin Zijiao.
Li Shuo looked at him with a smile.
Luo Rui froze on the spot in bewilderment. The person he had been thinking about for almost two months was right in front of him, but he didn't even have the courage to look directly at him. Why, why did Qin Zijiao appear here? Why come out to stimulate him when he has gradually calmed down
A Ran stood in front of Qin Zijiao, and said bluntly, "I'm sorry, guest, almost everything is sold out, so we're closed."
"Pack the rest for me, I'll take it all." Although Qin Zijiao was talking to her, his eyes kept on Luo Rui.
"The rest are not fresh."
Qin Zijiao finally looked down at her: "I said, I want it all."
A Ran swallowed her saliva, she seemed a little scared, she pursed her lips: "I'm sorry, our store has principles, and we don't sell stale things."
Cheng Sheng stood up from his seat. He sensed that the atmosphere was not right. His suspicious eyes swept across the audience. It was obvious that he was the only one who didn't understand.
Qin Zijiao looked at Cheng Sheng with anger in his eyes, and Cheng Sheng frowned.
Luo Rui lowered his head and secretly pinched himself: "Aran, I still have some in my office, give them to him."
"boss!"
"Give it to him." Luo Rui whispered.
A Ran dropped his apron angrily and rushed into the office.
Li Shuo said with a smile: "Luo Rui, let's go. The seat I reserved will arrive before seven o'clock. You can have a good chat with Cheng Sheng in the car. This business is not charity after all. If you want to learn, come." Li Shuo supported Luo Rui's back and led him out.
Qin Zijiao grabbed Luo Rui's arm, Luo Rui's heart trembled, and his body froze immediately. He felt that Qin Zijiao's hand holding his arm seemed to be burning.
Li Shuo narrowed his eyes.
"Yaoyao is going to have surgery on her leg next week. She is in the hospital now. If you are free, go and see her."
Luo Rui froze on the spot at a loss.
A Ran took out the cake and put it on the cashier angrily: "268, pay."
Luo Rui could feel Qin Zijiao's hands trembling a little, he finally let go and went to the cashier to settle the bill.
Luo Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and walked straight out of the shop, Cheng Sheng chased after him: "Luo Rui, are you okay..."
Qin Zijiao looked back at the backs of the two of them, his eyes seemed to be able to stare holes in their bodies.
Li Shuo crossed his arms and looked at him: "What's wrong, do you regret it?"
Qin Zijiao glared at him.
"That's my friend, Luo Rui just happens to be his favorite type, don't you think they're quite suitable." Li Shuo smiled gentlemanly and elegantly: "I sympathize with your sister, but an outsider went to see her, It can't change anything, after you break up like this, you still come to harass others, it's quite disrespectful, Luo Rui has already passed, so you can too."
Qin Zijiao said coldly: "What are you? Our affairs are your turn to take care of."
Li Shuo shrugged calmly: "There is no need for the word 'we' between you." He smiled and said: "Now 'we' is going to eat." He greeted the girls with a chic expression. away.
Qin Zijiao chased after him a few steps, seeing Luo Rui got into Li Shuo's car, Li Shuo turned his head and gave him a provocative smile.
