In everyone's impression, Xu Baichuan loves to laugh, but he doesn't like to joke. On the contrary, he cares about his own words and deeds, and never squanders the privilege brought by his weight in others' hearts.
People are soft-spoken, but they keep their promises.
The low air pressure is still flowing anyway, and the atmosphere at this time seems to be stagnant.
Unknown why, Song Yiyu looked back and forth between Xu Baichuan and Tang Jin. The former laughed at Yan Yan, while the latter was about to rain. Ri Hongchen was taken aback by the romantic and happy man, his face was still facing the table upright, but he looked at Xu Baichuan from the corner of his eye, and slowly lowered the corners of his raised mouth.
The atmosphere took a turn for the worse, and his intuition was wrong.
Whether it was Xu Baichuan's candid attitude, Tang Jin's expression on the verge of getting angry, or his friend's uncharacteristic reaction, none of them matched his expectations.
A xenophobic aura formed between the three of them, as if something was being concealed from him.
This kind of cognition made Song Yiyu restless, and he tried to break the stagnation: "I'm so hungry just after getting off the plane, we—"
At this time, Tang Jin spoke, this time he did not avoid his eyes, but stared at Xu Baichuan, and said: "I am not a place where you can come and go whenever you want, you can resign, but don't come back after you resign. "
Loving someone is like having an illness, the illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a spin. It's one thing to make up your mind, it's another to withdraw your feelings. Shame, melancholy, and the pervasive inferiority complex he tried to avoid when facing Song Yiyu made Xu Baichuan feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. To be honest, he really hoped that there would be food on the table, so that he could deduct a plate of food from one person, and he couldn't be the only one in the Shura field to be in such a mess.
The weather is not beautiful, and there is no food on the table. Even if there is, he just thinks about it. After all, it's not easy for the evil dragon to grow so big, so let's live well if we can.
He wanted to put on the mask of invincibility, tried once, and again, finally showed a nonchalant smile, and replied: "Okay."
Tang Jin looked at him intently, as if he wanted to find some clues on his face, but Xu Baichuan had perfected his acting skills in the past few years, leaned back, relaxed and continued: "Half a month ago I We have already made a handover with Xiao Wang, we don't have a formal employment contract, and I don't need to write any paper resignation application, I said verbally, it's over if you verbally agree." He glanced at Song Yiyu, and said: "I've already taken what I should have brought, and deal with the rest as you please."
Tang Jin's complexion became more and more serious. After listening to it, he let out a "tsk", swallowed what he wanted to say, turned his head to get the menu on the table, and said in a muffled voice, "Let's eat first."
Xu Baichuan sat up straight and leaned over to look at the menu, and said, "Okay, let's talk after we finish eating."
Tang Jin paused holding the menu, took a quick look at him, and rarely said a word, and rang the bell beside him to call the waiter to come in and order.
Feng Shui took turns, and this time it was the turn of the other three people to have different ideas, but Xu Baichuan felt extremely happy, and ordered a few of his favorite dishes without being polite at all.
Tang Jin watched Xu Baichuan pick up sections of bright red pepper and put them into his mouth expressionlessly. His brows twitched and he couldn't help asking, "Don't you like spicy food?"
Xu Baichuan laughed and said, "President Tang has a lot of things to do every day, so I remember wrongly."
The bamboo chopsticks in Tang Jin's hands made a slight rubbing sound. He breathed out but did not respond.
Cheng Xu stretched out his hand, put a small piece of chili on the plate in front of Xu Baichuan, chewed it slowly, and nodded to Tang Jin: "You who don't eat spicy food know how to do it." Not as good as chili."
We haven't seen each other for a month, Xu Baichuan misses Tang Jin very much, and doesn't want to confront him tit for tat. He doesn't know what will happen in the future, but this should be the last meal the two of them will have together in the next few years, so there is no need to break up. He is good at dealing with people, no matter if he is sincere or not, the atmosphere was brightened by the back and forth conversations with Song Yiyu.
Song Yiyu was finally able to find something to talk about in the confusion, and laughed at Tang Jin: "I can't eat any chili peppers from a distance, and if I get a little bit of it, my face will turn red immediately. On April Fool's Day, I was still sandwiching peppers in biscuits. He didn’t know that he took a chili pepper, so he took a bite and searched for water all over the house!”
This is a past event between Cheng Xu, Song Yiyu and Tang Jin, and Cheng and Song smiled knowingly. Xu Baichuan also smiled politely. I'm afraid only Song Yiyu can get out of this matter, and Tang Jin can't be beaten to death by someone else
After finishing his meal in embarrassment, Xu Baichuan almost exhausted all his skills accumulated over the years, as if he had been working on a marketing plan all night, and he was extremely tired. Tang Jin probably didn't get better than that. Ever since he was choked back by Xu Baichuan's words, no matter how others threw the topic at him, he refused to answer and put his chopsticks away early. As soon as Xu Baichuan raised his head, he immediately asked, "Have you finished eating?"
The more Tang Jin looked impatient, the more Xu Baichuan felt that he had failed in the past seven years. No one would be happy to see someone who had liked him for seven years wanting to get rid of him immediately.
He slowly put the tableware back, wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, sat upright, and nodded. Tang Jin stood up and said without hesitation, "Come back to the hotel with me."
Tang Jin's movements were not small. Song Yiyu, who was beside him, hadn't finished eating yet, so he looked at Cheng Xu questioningly, but he didn't get the result, so he put down his chopsticks with an uncertain expression.
Xu Baichuan raised his eyes: "Forget about the hotel, it's the same here."
Tang Jin held his breath and exhaled slowly, his tone still strong: "I don't want to talk to you about this today."
Xu Baichuan: "Then there's no need to go to the hotel." Still want to have a breakup? With a really big heart, I am not afraid that the little angel will go on for another ten or eight years in a fit of anger.
Tang Jin looked puzzled and said angrily, "Do you have to fight against me?"
"I don't have that kind of leisure." Xu Baichuan said indifferently: "I just want to make things clear."
The two stood and sat, one angry and the other quiet, as if they had returned to the past, and for a moment both of them were in a daze. In the first two years after arriving at the Tang family, every time there was a conflict, Tang Jin was furious and furious, while Xu Baichuan remained unmoved. Watch him go from full of anger to dullness. At first, I thought that the longer we get along, the more peaceful it will become. Today, suddenly the tit-for-tat confrontation, only to find that seven years of going around has returned to the original point.
At this moment, Cheng Xu stood up and said he wanted to go out for a smoke. Before he left, he gave Song Yiyu a few winks. Song Yiyu had never seen Tang Jin like this before. Toilet.
There were only two people left in the private room, Tang Jin sat back angrily, folded his hands, tapped his fingers non-stop, the expression on his face changed again and again, as if he had made a huge step backward, and said impatiently: "Follow me I'm going back to City B."
Xu Baichuan's heart jumped faster and faster with Tang Jin's fingers, like a roller coaster passing the highest point, and after a gust of wind, the speed gradually slowed down. From beating like a drum to calming down in just a few breaths, many earth-shattering decisions were confirmed in the process, he considered: "I won't go to the hotel with you, and I won't go back to city B with you, I just want to stay here...”
"So you're angry because I didn't come with you?" Tang Jin obviously had an expression of "Why are you making trouble so unreasonably".
"I'm not angry, and I have no right to be angry." Xu Baichuan said solemnly, "I apologize for my pestering you for the past seven years."
He should have said more words and made more confessions, but he could only stop abruptly because of his sour nose.
Tang Jin stopped tapping his arm, and asked uncertainly, "What do you mean by that?"
Xu Baichuan took a deep breath and said, "It means that you are free."
The hands on the arms clenched into fists, the broad shoulders froze for a long time, and the handsome face fell into a gloomy, silent for a long time, the arched brows stretched out, as if hearing something very funny, Tang Jin raised his eyebrows contemptuously. At the corner of his mouth, he said word by word: "Freedom?"
"good!"
"Don't regret it."
