In the evening, Shen You stood by the sink and brushed the heat preservation bucket rusty. He washed it twice, raised his head for a moment, and then lowered his head to continue brushing. The tight frown showed that he was very disgusted with this kind of work, but he didn't know why. Patiently rinsed off.
It's just a bowl of porridge, it's not a big deal, someone will give it to you like ordering a takeaway, whoever moves is a bastard.
As Shen You thought about it, he went downstairs at night and sent the thermal insulation bucket to the security booth, and he told the little security guard inside, and he stuffed Zhang Xiaofei and said, "There will be someone named Gu who will come to pick it up tomorrow morning, you remember to give it to him. "
Can't get involved anymore, don't get involved anymore.
Shen You's mind and heart were admonishing him.
The security guard said: "Okay, Mr. Shen, but I won't be on duty tomorrow morning. I'll tell you when I'm handing over to Xiao Wu."
Shen You nodded and went back.
At the same time, Gu Lai stayed up all night, learned a few new breakfast dishes according to the mobile phone tutorial, divided into two parts as usual, one for Yu Xi and the other for Shen You, when he drove to the construction site Passing through the security booth, take back the light blue thermal insulation bucket, give a white thermal insulation bucket in the past, and then send a message to Shen You: [Breakfast is in the security booth, remember to come down and get it. 】
"It's troublesome."
Gu Lai nodded his thanks to the security guard inside, and drove away smartly.
——
"Tang Yishan, tell me what he wants to do..."
Shen You sat on the VIP booth on the second floor of the bar by the dance floor. He was paralyzed on the leather sofa as if he had no bones. He raised his head and slowly exhaled a breath of smoke, which blurred his sharp and handsome face. He pressed the smoke on the table to extinguish it. , said lazily, "You can't really screw your head up, can you?"
There are other sons and brothers next to them, but no one dares to join them. With Tang Yishan and Ke Jing, the three of them form a table of their own.
Tang Yishan was gentle and polite, holding a pair of flower cards in his hand, he skillfully arranged the order, and said without raising his head: "It's just a meal, it's worth a few dollars, if he wants to give it, you can continue, anyway, it's not a loss. , As long as you don't poison, you can say anything, when I was in high school, chasing girls either smashed cars or jewelry, what did I say."
Ke Jing has been obsessed with bartending recently, and asked the waiter to serve a dozen bottles of different colors. He was there to play with it. Hearing that, he raised his head from his busy schedule and said jokingly: "You don't lack money, so send some jewelry. It's like pulling a hair, what's the comparison?"
He just gave out the most and most insignificant things of himself. Seeing the truth, it is unnecessary to go deep into it.
Shen You nodded at him across the air, agreeing: "I finally said something human."
Tang Yishan heard something else, so he took out a flower card, put it in front of him and looked at the blurred light, and said with great interest: "Yo, why is there no comparison, Shen You, you explain Listen to your buddies."
The colorful lights are changing, and the wheel of fortune on the card is clearly illuminated. There are sphinxes, devils, swans, poisonous snakes, and goddesses symbolizing angels, which also represent the ups and downs of everyone's destiny. a fair causal cycle.
"It's interesting, it's not what I said, leave the main lord and don't ask me what to do." Shen You reached out and grabbed a bottle of wine, only to find that it was all messed up by Ke Jing, and he put it back in despair. Frowning: "Waste."
Tang Yishan said: "This is not a waste, it is a waste of things."
Ke Jing sneered and didn't take it seriously: "I don't want you to pay, I'll settle the bill myself."
Tang Yishan blew a breath at the cards in his hand, but when he looked up, he saw that Shen You had been staring at the phone screen thoughtfully, and said meaningfully: "Human, you can't be too short of love."
Shen You seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't hear it, but Ke Jing leaned over and asked, "What? What can't I lack?"
Tang Yishan said to himself, "It can't be too wise."
Ke Jing: "… "
Gu Lai has a detailed plan for the future, and his career has been put in the first place for the time being, which means that he does not have too much leisure time to pay attention to interpersonal communication. Every day when he comes back from get off work, he will watch tutorials on the Internet to learn new dishes. And I signed up for a well-known cooking training class with the remaining money in my hand, and I can go directly to the class when the project on the construction site is finished.
For twenty-six days later, Shen You's breakfast never stopped. The ingredients were getting richer and more delicious day by day, but strangely, Gu Lai never took the initiative to talk about anything. He just reminded him to pick up the meal regularly, and then said After saying good morning, Shen You replied without embarrassment and thank you.
After a long time, the entire team standing guard in the security booth recognized Gu Lai.
His talent for learning is amazing, at least that's what Yu Xi thinks. Thanks to the neighbor next door, she eats different kinds of food every morning, and she has gained six pounds in half a month. It stands to reason that she should hate this. But I just can't keep my mouth shut...
Gu Lai knocked on the door of her house early in the morning as usual, Yu Xi floated over like a wandering soul, opened a crack, stretched out her hand consciously, and asked expectantly through the door, "What did you do today?"
The current form of the two is a bit like a prison visit.
“Crab noodle soup dumplings, crepe wontons, mint fried pork ribs, lotus crisps.”
It was just simple porridge at the beginning. As time went on, the difficulty factor of the ingredients was the difference between bronze and king.
Gu Lai put the lunch box in her hand, remembering something, and added, "It won't be there tomorrow, remember to go downstairs and buy breakfast."
"Huh?!" Hearing that, Yu Xi didn't care about the image of the goddess, and opened the door in surprise, her hair was messy like a bird's nest, her big eyes were full of doubts, and she was so wronged that she was stingy: "Why not, you can't be because of me yesterday. Forgetting to wash the dishes just treated me like this…”
"It's not because of this, I have already learned all the dishes I want to learn. At the end of the project today, I will go to the official training class tomorrow."
Gu Lai was dressed in a clean and neat style, with a simple letter T-shirt, black slacks, graffiti-style running shoes, and a black mechanical watch on his wrist. He looked youthful, not only because of his appearance, but also because of his appearance. That positive attitude.
Inexplicably, Yu Xi felt that she was getting old. She was not very old, but looking at Gu Lai's sunny smile, she felt a crushing feeling in her heart. She leaned against the door quietly and her long hair covered most of it. Zhang Lian: "Your cooking is delicious enough. Why do you study so much? There is nowhere to spend your money. Those training classes are deceiving."
The room behind her was silent, the curtains were drawn tightly, and no sunlight could penetrate. The precious cosmetics and jewelry seemed to be the only solace in her heart. After a long time, she would unconsciously get used to the darkness, and the sunlight would be dazzling.
Gu Lai has a clear direction for his future and has done a lot of preparation beforehand: "It doesn't matter, I have checked the information, it is a formal training class, and there are professional star chefs in it. If you pass the assessment, you will be recommended for employment. I will do it for a while , and open a restaurant when you save enough money."
Yu Xi yawned: "Really, that's good, I'll bring my friends over to cheer."
Gu Lai heard the words, a shallow dimple appeared on his cheek, and reminded: "Open the curtains, the sun is shining today, and let's breathe."
There are always several rains in summer every year. After the suffocating heat, it is refreshing and humid. The sun is still high in the sky, but it is not so scorching hot.
Gu Lai received his salary yesterday, which also heralded the end of his work. He has nothing to do today. He just wants to walk around the city slowly, take a look at the scenery, and take Shen You's breakfast there by the way.
Xiao Wu took the meal bag as usual, and then handed him the clean insulated bucket from the window: "Mr. Gu, you're delivering breakfast to your friend again, it's ten minutes late today."
Today's dim sum is a bit of a waste of time. If you don't pay attention, it will be delayed. Gu Lai said to Xiao Wu: "I'm sorry, the road is a little blocked today, please trouble you."
He smiled warmly. Just standing there can attract the attention of countless people. When Shen You went downstairs, he happened to see Gu Lai getting into the car. Come out next to the green road.
Seeing him, Xiao Wu handed out the lunch bag and finished today's handover. He said with some pity, "Mr. Shen, your friend just left, and you can meet up sooner."
Shen You didn't know what to say, so he touched his pocket and found that he didn't have a wallet, so he handed him the unopened pack of cigarettes inside: "I'm sorry."
These cigarettes are expensive, and ordinary people would not buy them to smoke them. Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed to take them at first, but Shen You put the cigarettes on the windowsill and left.
People can develop a habit in seven days. I don't know when to start, Shen You used to get up early, then glance at his phone, go downstairs to get breakfast, and when he goes to bed at night, silently guess what tomorrow's breakfast will be.
Maybe he should reject this kind of behavior, but man is a complex creature. Reason often tells us correct and harmless answers, but few people follow it. Emotions tell us that the road of roses is full of poisonous and deceptive. .
Gu Lai didn't talk much. In just a month, the chat information was pitiful, and it kept repeating in an endless loop. Either good morning, or let Shen You go to the security booth to get food, and read along, It seems like a tool person with no emotion, which is rare today, and there is one more.
Gu Lai: [There is stomach medicine in the bag, remember to take it. 】
Shen You thought to himself who cares about your medicine, he has a lot of medicine at home, but he couldn't help lying on the sofa, reading the news over and over again, thinking quietly, maybe Tang Yishan is right...
He is quite lacking in love.
But Shen You also felt that this reason was not sufficient. If he put aside his previous prejudices, he even felt that Gu Lai was perfect and had almost no major shortcomings.
He is handsome in appearance, elegant in speech, attentive and considerate, and impeccable.
This kind of person seems to only exist in the book, but it appears alive in front of me...
Oh, there's still a downside, he doesn't have the money himself.
Shen You opened the lunch bag, took out the stomach medicine inside and looked at the name, and found that it was the one he told him last time. Underneath were four disposable lunch boxes, which contained good-looking food, charred ribs, lotus flowers. Crispy and delicate, with a translucent outer skin, a soup dumpling, plus a bowl of wontons.
The amount of dim sum is well controlled, and it will not make people overwhelmed or hungry.
Shen You thought while eating, Gu Lai's craftsmanship seemed to have improved again, he bit the spoon unconsciously, and then replied with a message: [Thank you. 】
A few minutes later, Gu Lai wrote back: [You're welcome, as long as you like it. 】
Then no news came.
Shen You devoted all his patience in the second half of his life to this short month. He repeatedly told himself, don't reply, don't bite the hook, don't have expectations, and don't take Gu Lai's tricks again, so many times, this Just quiet down.
He was leaning on the carpet, the room was air-conditioned, and he slowly crossed the Buddha beads in his hands. He had never had the patience. After a while, he was ready to get up to wash the dishes. Only then did he realize that today's lunch box is not the same. Insulated buckets, but disposable plastic boxes.
"… "
Do you still need to wash it
I don't know why, Shen You has a vague feeling that Gu Lai will not continue tomorrow, he hooked his lips with an unexplainable meaning, thinking that this person can only last for so long, but at the same time there is a kind of inexplicable. gloomy feeling.
The phone tapped lightly on the table, making a dull sound, Shen You felt unwilling for no reason, and sent a message to Gu Lai: [Do I need to return the box to you? 】
Gu Lai was visiting the boutique on the first floor of the entertainment mall, and when he saw the news, he quickly went back to the past: [It doesn't matter, it's a one-time use, you can just throw it away. 】
Too much water vapor in the insulation bucket will wet the pastry surface of the snack, and the ribs will become soft and floppy, affecting the taste, so he used a plastic box today.
Shen You took a deep breath and typed a line with no expression on his face: [Will you come tomorrow? 】
He clicked send, and then felt that the tone of the sentence was too resentful, and quickly withdrew it.
However, Gu Lai still saw it, he just remembered something, and said to Shen You: [I'm sorry, I'm going to the training class tomorrow, maybe I won't come, you remember to have breakfast in the future. 】
Shen You thought to himself, aren't you moving bricks? You still need training to move bricks these days? Who are you fooling? After lighting a cigarette, I think typing is too slow, so I dialed a phone call, got straight to the point, and asked with a half-smile, "Do you still need training to move bricks over there?"
Gu Lai didn't hear the sarcasm in those words, and after a daze, he explained, "It's not about moving bricks, I plan to be a chef, so I signed up for a training class, and the class starts tomorrow."
I see…
Shen You narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed quite satisfied with the answer. He didn't have the slightest embarrassment to question the wrong person. He heard some noise on the other end of the phone and asked, "Where are you?"
Gu Lai didn't think much about it, and reported the place name, which happened to be the place where they watched the movie last time: "I have a rest today, so I plan to go around."
Shen You asked, "All alone?"
Gu Lai nodded: "All alone."
After he finished speaking, he remembered the last Oolong incident: "The last time I met Yang Mian was by accident."
Is this explaining
Shen You subconsciously glanced at the phone, as if he wanted to see Gu Lai's expression clearly through the screen, he slowly took a breath, and after a long silence, got up and took the car keys from the table, and said bluntly: "There Wait for me."
Gu Lai was stunned: "Huh?"
Shen You said: "You have invited me to eat for so many days, I will invite you to watch a movie and find a place to wait for me."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and found that the last "ET" had been released. After searching for the latest movies, Shen You habitually skipped those crying love school movies and chose an exciting horror movie.
