Afternoon tea, Du You didn't go too far, but chose a western restaurant near the company.
It was four o'clock close to five o'clock, and the western restaurant was not crowded, so it was relatively clean. The decoration is mainly in coffee tones, with deep and melodious classical music playing. Order a drink and you can sit all afternoon.
Shen Chen glanced at the menu and ordered a sandwich and coffee. And Du You ticked off all the pages.
The waiter took a closer look, only to find that this young and handsome customer had also visited their store a few months ago. At that time, all the dishes were checked, which attracted the shop owner to come out.
I thought it was eating and broadcasting to show the audience a taste, but the other party ate everything. The guest's legend has been passed down among the staff ever since.
However, there was no further patronage for convenience after that. They were still a little disappointed, thinking that their own dishes did not arouse the other party's interest.
Now, after many months, the guest finally came again. The waiter was very excited and rushed to the back kitchen to report the dishes.
Shen Chen's sandwiches and coffee are relatively simple, so they are served first. Out of politeness, he didn't start.
"Eat it first." Du You reminded, "You may not be able to put it down for a while."
At this time, Shen Chen didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.
A few minutes later, the food that Du You ordered also arrived.
Probably due to the order of serving, there are only two cakes—a taupe triangular mousse cake, wrapped in crystal clear panna cotta, and dotted with dark blue blueberries.
Shen Chen's gaze was fixed on it, and the sandwich in his hand was a bit dull. Suddenly remembering his identity again, he turned his head and swallowed his coffee.
Really bitter.
He frowned calmly.
Although I have been drinking it for many years, I am still not used to the taste.
Then, he saw one of the cakes being pushed in front of him.
Du You: "Please."
Shen Chen was startled, and raised his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"Please eat."
"..." Shen Chen's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he looked away, "It's too sweet, I don't like these."
Du You was puzzled: "The chef said you like it."
that old man.
Shen Chen's eyelids twitched: "That happened when I was a child."
How could an adult, let alone a man, eat something that only little girls and children like.
What's more, even Du You can't order desserts alone, the main course is definitely still behind.
And after that, dessert came up again—the chubby Strawberry Daifuku, which was translucent and slightly pink.
Still double.
Du You seemed to have ordered his portion.
Shen Chen looked at Du You, and his heart moved slightly.
Curling her fingers, she tapped on the table: "...Although I don't like it, it's not that I can't accompany you."
Du You: "Don't force yourself."
Shen Chen choked up. He knew that when facing Du You, he had to be straightforward, otherwise the other party would take it literally.
"No." He paused, folded his hands together, "I don't hate it anyway."
Fortunately, the meaning of this sentence is conveyed. Du You made a "please" gesture.
Shen Chen picked up the spoon, hesitated for a moment, then took a corner of the mousse cake and put it in his mouth.
The delicate whipped cream is slightly cold, and it is accompanied by rich chocolate, which explodes the entire taste buds in the mouth.
Chen Chen chewed slowly, and noticed that Du You was looking at him. Putting down the spoon, he tried his best to be objective and said, "Not bad."
"Dafu is delicious too." Du You pushed strawberry Dafu to him.
After that, the desserts were presented one by one. Dorayaki sundae rolls, Chinese, Western, and Japanese styles are all available.
No matter how much Shen Chen likes... no, no matter how much he doesn't hate sweets, he still feels a little tired after eating the seventh item.
Not only the mouth, but mainly the stomach can't bear it
He looked at the waiter who was still coming this way, and at first glance, it was still dessert.
He looked at Du You who had a pile of empty plates in front of him again: "You only ordered sweets?"
Du You chewed the cake: "Auntie is cooking dinner at home, this is afternoon tea."
"..."
Shen Chen still underestimated Du You. With a physique so different from ordinary people, he became more and more curious about which world the other party came from.
But Du You didn't take the initiative to mention it, and asked him to ask, it seemed that he cared a lot.
Shen Chen hesitated to speak, but he still didn't ask this question after all.
Afternoon tea time ended, the two walked out of the western restaurant.
The explosive heat made Shen Chen's cheeks flush, and looking at Du You, he still looked the same as usual. It seems that it was just a gap between the teeth.
Maybe it was just a gap between the teeth.
Although the western restaurant is very close to Duyou Company, it takes about ten minutes to walk. When the two came out, they were in Shen Chen's car.
Shen Chen was about to send Du You back to the company, but he shook his head: "I asked the driver to pick me up just now."
Nothing to do today, he is going to go home directly from get off work.
Shen Chen hesitated, thinking that he could send it. But he also felt that he was too active in this way, as if he really meant something.
While struggling, Du You received a text message, saying, "The driver is here."
"..." Shen Chen raised the window, "See you next time."
After watching Shen Chen leave, a black commercial vehicle slowly stopped in front of him.
Du You didn't remember the license plate number, but the car looked familiar, and it stopped in front of him, so he opened the door and got in.
"Green Mansion Villa, right?"
A question came from the driver's seat.
It was not the first time for the driver to pick him up, so it was impossible to ask such a question.
Du You looked in the rearview mirror, and happened to meet the light maroon eyes of the person in the mirror.
The opponent rolled his eyes.
"..."
Du You dug out the text message just now, only to find that it was an unfamiliar number. The content only said that the car has arrived, so he didn't pay attention to the contact person at all.
Du You put down the phone: "Why is it you?"
Qin Ge was sitting in the driver's seat, with his hands in leather gloves resting on the steering wheel: "Zhao Si has something to do suddenly. I don't want you to wait, so I came here on his behalf."
After this person came in, so many people "suddenly" had trouble.
But it's all here, Du You won't drive people back: "Let's go."
The scenery outside the window began to move backwards.
At this time, I suddenly heard a question: "Is the meal delicious?"
Du You corrected: "It's not a meal, it's afternoon tea."
Qin Ge was silent for a while: "If brother tells me, I will accompany you."
Du You didn't want to be with Qin Ge anymore. It is estimated that it will be seen as too much to eat, resulting in a second extra meal.
"I do not want… "
The system sensed something was wrong: [Slow down, host!]
Du You: [?]
[No, nothing.]The system trembled, [I always feel that it is not good to say this.]
Although this person is smiling, but it always gives it a very scary feeling.
Du You suddenly realized. This is really hurtful.
But the first three words had already been spoken, Qin Ge heard it, and the corner of his mouth curled up a bit coldly: "Don't you want to come with me?"
"No..." Du You thought for a while, "Just stop staring at me."
"I can't do it." Qin Ge said, "Try to get used to it, brother."
Du You discussed: "Then can you stop calling me brother?"
Qin Ge smiled: "I can't do it either."
"..." Du You gave up.
Arriving at Lvdi Villa, the commercial vehicle slowly stopped. After Du You got out of the car, he found that Qin Ge did not turn around and leave, but rolled down the window and looked at him.
"See you tomorrow."
Du You: "See you tomorrow."
The two stared at each other for a while. Qin Ge looked at him, and he looked at Qin Ge. On the one hand, there is no expression, on the other hand, there is a smile that has never changed for thousands of years.
Seeing that he still didn't leave, Du You said, "It's okay, you can drive the car home."
"My home is here." The young man leaned his arms on the window sill, his brows and eyes slightly bent, "I want to see you go in."
Hearing this, Du You was startled, and suddenly remembered the moving company this morning.
He looked up and saw the truck had already left. Could it be that the new neighbor is Qin Ge
Then, he felt his hand being gently held.
Leather gloves are slightly rough to the touch. The other party didn't use as much force as he did at noon today, but just held his index finger.
"It's a long time and we'll have a lot of time together."
It was almost evening, and the orange-red clouds were lingering in the sky. The cold sun is sinking to the west, and a beautiful stroke is drawn at the junction.
A few strands of soft light fell on his face through the car window, making the face bright and dark, like a medieval oil painting. Even the light chestnut eyes were a little darker.
"I won't let you leave me, brother.".
Time flies, Assistant Xiao returned from a serious illness. She stood in the president's office to report.
"... The above is the New Year's plan."
After the last sentence, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at the young man beside him.
#The most handsome little brother at the airport#
#S University Overseas Students Beauty Prosperity#
…
This is the trending search she saw when she swiped Weibo while recuperating at home.
The photos on Weibo were obviously candid shots, most of them only had backs or profiles, but she still recognized at a glance that the people in the photos were interns she had interviewed.
He has a smart mind and a high emotional intelligence, and can hardly find any mistakes.
After all, she is an employee of her own company, so she is a little curious about other people's evaluations. But just when she was about to read the comments carefully, there was a loading error message.
The server background crashed for a while, and after the refresh was finally successful, those few hot searches disappeared. Even if I searched again, I couldn't find the slightest trace, as if it had evaporated.
Although strange, such a small episode was quickly forgotten by her.
But when she returned to the company, she found that her seat had a tendency to be replaced by that intern.
Even if the burden of work has been reduced a lot, what's going on if you can't be happy. Obviously she is Mr. Du's only right-hand man!
Qin Ge noticed his gaze and looked back with a smile.
"..."
Although he is a competitor (?), but the other party is really good-looking, Assistant Xiao can't help but be in a daze for a few seconds.
She had an illusion that if this were in the ancient imperial palace, she would be the emperor's confidant eunuch, and this intern would be the evil concubine with a red face.
Mr. Du, you are really a sinful man.
Du You signed the document and handed it back to Assistant Xiao. But the other party was distracted and didn't come to pick it up immediately.
Du You: "?"
Qin Ge came over to take the contract first, and handed it over to the woman. The black leather gloves are reflected on the snow-white paper, with distinct colors.
Assistant Xiao just came back to his senses, quickly thanked Du You for accepting the contract, and apologized to Du You: "President Du, I'm sorry."
Du You: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Huh?" Assistant Xiao was taken aback. Seeing my boss caring so much about my body, I was very moved, "I'm fine."
Du You: "Don't force it."
Assistant Xiao sniffed: "It's really okay, thank you Mr. Du."
"Sister Xiao, it's best to go home to recuperate if you're sick. I'll help Mr. Du handle the company's affairs." Qin Ge smiled.
Even if it is the speech of the same concern, but this intern always makes people feel that there is something in the words.
Assistant Xiao pushed his glasses silently.
After the report, the two left the office.
Du You stood up.
At this time, the system exaggeratedly yelled: [Host, look outside, it's snowing!]
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, a piece of white dangled and fell.
He looked back. There was a layer of white mist on the glass window, but the heavy snow falling down in the air could still be seen. Dye this monotonous cold white sky into a snow color.
The air was piercing, and the snow covered the dry branches, covered the evergreen bushes, and lay down on the brown earth in sheets.
In just a few tens of minutes, the city of S was wrapped in pure white. Looking around, it is full of snow and covered in silver.
On the TV screens in the tall buildings in the city center, the news is being broadcast.
"...Christmas is approaching, and our city has ushered in the first snow this year. According to observations, there will be a meteor shower on Christmas Day."
A female voice took over: "Yes, the meteor shower has not been seen in ten years. Coupled with this first snow, this year will undoubtedly become the most romantic Christmas ever for couples."
Du You stood quietly in front of the French windows for a while, watching the heavy snow fall.
The system asked: "Host, how are you going to spend Christmas?"
Last year's Christmas, Du You was busy with "starting a business" because he had just arrived in this world, so he didn't have time to rest.
Originally, at this time, the host should take the initiative to ask Xiao Tiantian. But now...
The system sighed and didn't mention it.
Christmas day just happened to be the weekend. But Du You already had a plan.
Du You: "Watch DVDs during the day and play games at night."
System: "Anyway, you are also a domineering president, can you charge a little now!"
It hates iron and steel, "Even if you don't go to any reception party, you can go out on a date. Didn't it be said on TV this morning, there are colorful lights these days, it must be very beautiful."
Du You: "Dating someone, are you?"
When the system heard this, its cheeks flushed slightly: "Oh host, we are together all day and night. But if you want, it's not impossible..."
Du You: "Ah."
System: "What, what's wrong."
Du You: "I lent the DVD to Lawyer Fang, so I have to get it back."
The system became angry with embarrassment: "Host, please don't play with me!" It angrily stopped talking.
At this time, there were two beeps from the mobile phone, and Du You received a text message.
[It's snowing, have you seen it?]
At the same moment, on set.
Due to the sudden heavy snowfall, the crew suspended filming. In order to avoid damage to the equipment, the photographic equipment was temporarily moved under the shed.
You Haoyu is wearing a dark green military uniform with a coat of the same color on his shoulders and a pair of black boots on his feet.
This is a drama of the Republic of China, and the role he plays is a warlord. After the snow stopped and the snow was shoveled off, the filming would start again, so the costumes were not changed.
He looked at the flying snow outside the window, his amber eyes narrowed slightly, reflecting a cold whiteness.
Outside the lounge, a few girls on the set secretly stared at him.
It turned out that before seeing them in person, they were all still giggling and laughing, mocking idols who used to act, they would definitely only count one, two, three.
Crew staff like them eat melons every day with great joy, so they naturally know about You Haoyu's scandals.
However, after seeing herself with her own eyes, the little girl on the set lost a bit of her arrogance.
I have seen many good-looking actors, but the real You Haoyu looks better than those hard photos and animations.
This not only refers to the face, but also includes the head-to-body ratio and even the overall temperament. Especially after changing into the military uniform and starting filming, every move, every frown and cluster of people follow into the play, almost making people think that he is the character himself.
As for the violent temper that attracts the most cynicism.
Please, although it is true that you are not gentle, but you are not acting like a big name and you are serious. Even if a few scenes didn't meet the director's standard, it was all right, saving them a lot of time.
In short, they have all turned against each other and become You Haoyu's fans.
The phone vibrated once, and You Haoyu received a reply.
Du You: [I see it.]
You Haoyu immediately replied: [I am currently on the set.]
The time to join the group was earlier than You Haoyu imagined. He thought it would be January, and planned to spare Christmas day to ask Du You out. Now it seems that I have to give up.
He silently typed the next sentence: [How do you prepare for Christmas?]
Du You: [Stay at home.]
As soon as this sentence was sent, within a few seconds, the phone vibrated and received a call from You Haoyu.
Du You picked it up: "Hello."
The other end didn't speak, and said after a while: "So, were you alone that day?"
"Auntie is here, probably." He was referring to the cooking auntie.
"I..." Due to the cold weather, the tip of You Haoyu's nose was a little red from the cold, "I will finish shooting as soon as possible on the 24th. After it is over, I will go find you."
The question was a little tough, he paused, his fingers clenched the fuselage: "Is it okay?"
Du You: "Come to my house?"
"Yes."
Du You didn't want to break the original plan: "Is it okay to play games?"
You Haoyu was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was talking about the arrangements for that day. At this time, he was lightly poked by the staff, and gestured to indicate that the director was calling him.
"Yes." You Haoyu said shortly, "The director called me, I will contact you later."
Du You: "Come on, shoot."
You Haoyu lowered his eyes, the brim of his hat cast a shadow on his eyes, his expression softened a bit: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Du You had seen enough of Xue, and was about to go back to his seat, but the system complained: "So you want to 'date' with him?"
"Is this called a date?"
"On such a special day, why don't the lonely man and the widow call it a date!" the system yelled.
Du You: "Auntie is here too."
System: "Ah, auntie doesn't count!"
Du You didn't care what to call this matter: "Then let's treat it like this."
At this time, the phone beeped twice again. Du You thought You Haoyu had sent another text message, but when he looked at the contact person, it was the head chef.
[It's almost Christmas Eve. Are you free on the 24th, come to our house for turkey/let's! This time we must stay overnight.]
turkey…
Du You remembered the meal at the chef's house that day. The chef's wife's cooking was really delicious, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Just about to reply, the system yelled: "Host, do you only have seven seconds of memory! Did you forget that You Haoyu is coming?"
Du You: "Just go back after eating."
The system took a breath: I didn't expect you to be such a host.
At this time, the head chef's restaurant, as always, had no customers. The warm air was blowing, and the waiters stood a little drowsy.
Father Shen glanced at his son: "I sent the text message, are you sure you don't want to contact me anymore?"
Shen Chen: "What do I contact, it doesn't matter if he comes or not."
Father Shen: Then don't worry about it, can you stick to your father and look at your phone
A few seconds later, Shen Chen: "... have you returned?"
Father Shen deeply felt that if this continued, his son would become a baby. Can't do anything without myself.
Sometimes it is necessary to reluctantly part with one another in order for a child to spread his wings and fly high.
He stood up: "If you are worried, just contact yourself."
Shen Chen was startled: "What..."
However, his father was extremely ruthless, so he just left him on the seat and walked into the back kitchen.
Shen Chen: "..."
He took out his cell phone. After contemplating for a long time, I finally dialed the phone.
After Du You picked it up, before he finished speaking, he heard a deep male voice coming from the other end.
The first sentence: "Did you receive the text message?"
The second sentence sighed: "Dad asked me to make a call."
The third sentence added: "Although it is a family gathering. But anyway, you are alone, so come if you want."
Du You didn't come and remembered to interrupt, but after listening to this passage. He gets it.
The other party should not want to let him go.
December 24th is Christmas Eve. In foreign countries, it is a day for family reunion.
Although for some reason it became Valentine's Day under the packaging of merchants after it was introduced into China, Shen's is a group that is at the forefront of trends, and it is probably celebrated in accordance with foreign habits.
The other party probably didn't want me to hinder their family reunion.
In just one year, Du You felt that he had grown a lot and understood the ways of the world.
"Then I won't bother you." Du You said, "Thank the head chef for me."
Shen Chen:? ?
But due to the face of the wealthy old man, he still couldn't tell the truth, so he could only utter two words: "It's up to you."
The conversation is over. Hearing the cold busy tone on the other end of the phone, Shen Chen didn't move for a long time.
After a while, he slowly put the phone on the table, burying his face between his hands.
In order to fit the Christmas atmosphere, the music played in the store has also changed from classical to cheerful Christmas songs. But Shen Chen only felt that the light-toned music was extremely harsh.
He seemed to be completely isolated in another world.
The head chef who hid in the back kitchen and saw everything: Son, you can have some snacks.
