In the luxuriously decorated high-end western restaurant, men in suits and leather shoes sat at a table by the window, talking and laughing happily.
Among these people, the young and handsome Fang Xiran was the most conspicuous. Although there was a scar on his face, compared to a group of middle-aged, fat, balding old men with beer bellies, this scar that had faded was insignificant at all.
Fang Xiran came to City H on a business trip. After signing the contract in the afternoon, the partner kindly invited him to eat at this western restaurant that was said to be the longest running and most famous restaurant in City H.
Fang Xiran didn't want to come here because he came to H City for another purpose.
Two days ago, he learned that Lu Shijin had arrived in City H by private plane. Although he really wanted to come to City H to find someone immediately, his dignity as a man made him unable to let go of his body and bowed his head to beg for peace.
So under the guise of his business trip to H city this time, he "dropped in" to see Lu Shijin.
Fang Xiran thought that the fact that he was able to visit Lu Shijin meant that he wanted to seek peace.
Lu Shijin is a smart person, I believe that after seeing him, Lu Shijin should understand what he meant, follow the steps he gave, don't lose his temper, and go back with him obediently.
Fang Xiran hadn't thought about it, what would happen if Lu Shijin refused to go back with him
Young Master Fang said that it doesn't matter, if you don't go back with him this time, you will never go back, he doesn't care about marrying a man who doesn't obey him.
Men, just can't get used to it.
Even though Fang Xiran didn't want to socialize, but the partner's hospitality was hard to repay, so he had to stay for this meal.
But he never expected that he would meet Lu Shijin in the western restaurant.
Lu Shijin sat at a table next to the wall, two tables and two aisles away from Fang Xiran's position.
The western restaurant at dinner time was already full of customers, Fang Xiran didn't know if Lu Shijin had noticed him, no matter how much he looked at Lu Shijin, Lu Shijin always studied the menu carefully without squinting.
There were so many people on the partner side, and it was hard for Fang Xiran to go find someone, so he could only stare at Lu Shijin's movement from the corner of his eye, while absent-mindedly coping with the partner's chat.
"Xiao Fang, our city H is near the sea, and the seafood here is famous all over the country. Next time you come over, I will take you to taste the authentic Hong Kong seafood!"
Fang Xiran smiled perfunctorily: "Okay, thank you."
"Xiao Fang, how do you feel about the steak? This restaurant is opened by the French. I have eaten at all the western restaurants in H City, and this one has the most authentic taste, and the steak is made of Japanese wagyu beef. , are transported by air every day.”
Fang Xiran took a sip of the red wine and nodded, "Very good, indeed."
"Mr. Xiao Fang is satisfied with the food, we are afraid that the hospitality will not be good. By the way, does Mr. Fang have any activities in the evening? Shall I arrange it for you?"
"No, thank you. I want to go back to the hotel to rest tonight." Fang Xiran caught a glimpse of Lu Shijin who seemed to be calling someone, and his smile was as bright as a peach blossom.
Who to call? As for laughing so happily
Thinking that he proposed to break up the engagement because of Lu Shijin not saying goodbye and tossing and turning all night, while his mood didn't seem to be affected at all, Fang Xiran's heart felt as if soaked in freshly squeezed lemon juice, both sour and bitter.
But immediately he found that he was still sour too early.
After Lu Shijin hung up the phone, not long after, a handsome guy walked into the western restaurant, and walked straight to the table where Lu Shijin was sitting.
The handsome guy is wearing a dark blue suit, looks like a British gentleman, and has a standard inverted triangle model figure, which can be called a walking human-shaped hanger.
And that face is also extremely enchanting, very similar to the male lead of a popular idol drama on TV recently.
Seeing the handsome guy walking in front of Lu Shijin, Fang Xiran first leaned over and said something to Lu Shijin, which made Lu Shijin smile all over his face, then pulled away the seat opposite Lu Shijin and sat down.
Lu Shijin snapped his fingers and called the waiter. After ordering his own, he pushed the menu to the handsome guy. The handsome guy refused to order it for him, so Lu Shijin stretched out two fingers to signal the waiter to order two of the same one. steak.
After the waiter left, the two chatted enthusiastically. The corners of Lu Shijin's mouth never let go from the beginning to the end. Under the illumination of the crystal lamp above his head, his eyes were shining brightly at the man opposite him.
Fang Xiran saw that Lu Shijin looked at other men with such eyes, and then thought about it again, it seemed that Lu Shijin had never looked at himself with such eagerly looking eyes, strong jealousy surged in his heart, and frost condensed on his face, It couldn't be more ugly.
No wonder he had to think about going back, it turned out that he hooked up with the boy so quickly!
Fortunately, he came and saw it with his own eyes, otherwise, he would not have known that there was a green grassland growing on top of his head!
The man sitting across from him caught a glimpse of Fang Xiran's complexion suddenly darkened. He thought he didn't know what had offended Fang Xiran, so he asked cautiously, "Mr. Fang, what's the matter? Is there something we did that dissatisfied you?"
Fang Xiran stared at Lu Shijin's direction with burning eyes, gritted his teeth and squeezed out four words: "Qi, yes, this, reason."
It scared the others for a moment, they looked at each other in blank dismay, they had a good chat just now, why did Fang Xiran suddenly change his face
Everyone couldn't figure out what they did wrong or what they said wrong, which made Fang Xiran so angry.
In the end, the leader of the partners spoke tremblingly, stood up and apologized with a smile: "Mr. Fang, if we did something wrong, just say it's okay, and we will compensate you."
Only then did Fang Xiran turn his attention back to the dinner table, realizing that his performance had misunderstood the others, and forced a smile to appease everyone.
"No, it's none of your business. It's because I was thinking about things just now. It's not against you."
The others were relieved upon hearing the words, and regained their happy expressions. Someone jokingly asked Fang Xiran: "Mr. Fang, your expression just now scared us, as if you were going to eat people. I don't know what it is or who made you eat?" Are you so angry? Can you tell us?"
Fang Xiran pretended to glance to the left inadvertently, and said with a sneer: "Of course, it's not a big deal, but I just remembered a canary I had raised for two years. One day I forgot to feed it." Shut the cage and the bird flew out of the window and never came back."
"So that's the case. It can be seen that no matter how well these pets are domesticated, they are still unreasonable animals. Even if you feed them delicious food and drink for two years, they will still run away whenever they have the chance. They are not familiar with them. "
Fang Xiran's eyes were cold, "Who said otherwise?"
"Then Xiao Fang is always ready to raise birds? I know an expert who specializes in playing birds. He has mynahs, parrots and even eagles, all of which are tamed. If you are interested, I will set it up for you." line?"
"No need," Fang Xiran raised his glass and drank the remaining red wine in the quilt, "I just want my original bird."
"But... didn't you say that you already flew away?"
Fang Xiran twitched the corner of his mouth, and said mockingly: "Fly away, then catch him, even if he flies to the ends of the earth, I can catch him."
Someone gave Fang Xiran an idea: "It would be the best if you can catch the original one. Mr. Fang, you should be more careful next time. You must close the cage so that it does not have a chance to escape. This bird flies out!" After all, small animals are just like us, who doesn’t like to be free? It’s best to put a chain on the bird’s feet, so that even if you forget to close the cage, the bird won’t be able to fly away!”
Fang Xiran glanced at the speaker, raised his eyebrows and showed admiration for him, "You are right."
The man was flattered, raised his glass to respect Fang Xiran, "Thank you Mr. Fang for your appreciation, haha, I just came up with random ideas."
Fang Xiran put down his empty wine glass, and said flatly, "Okay, I've almost eaten tonight, thanks for your hospitality, next time you come to City C, feel free to come and find me, I'll be your host."
The others thanked Fang Xiran politely, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then stood up and left the table.
When Fang Xiran stood up, he deliberately lowered his head and coughed lightly, quietly raised his eyes to glance at Lu Shijin's table, but he and the handsome guy were chatting enthusiastically, so they didn't notice his existence at all.
Mad! It exploded! Mad!
Fortunately, Fang Xiran still remembered who he was, resisted the urge to lift the table, and left the western restaurant with the others.
Someone suggested calling a car to take Fang Xiran to him, but Fang Xiran refused. Fang Xiran excused that he wanted to take a walk and enjoy the night view of City H, so that other people could leave him alone.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to give up. Everyone got into the car and left one after another, leaving Fang Xiran standing alone at the entrance of the western restaurant.
Of course he didn't want to go for a walk, nor did he want to go back to the hotel, he just wanted to wait here for Lu Shijin to come out.
Because the two inside didn't know if they would do something that other grown men would do after eating, and he would never allow this to happen!
But it's not appropriate to just guard the entrance of the western restaurant like this, what it looks like to be seen by the guests coming in and out.
Fang Xiran walked to a small alley next to the western restaurant, stood in the shadow where the light could not reach, stared at the flow of people coming and going at the door, and waited patiently for Lu Shijin to show up.
He stood there for half an hour, and finally Lu Shijin and the handsome guy who had dinner with him came out of the western restaurant talking and laughing.
The two walked to the side of the road, and the handsome guy waved to stop a taxi. It seemed that the two were going to leave together in the car.
Are you going to the hotel? Are you going to open a room? Are you ready to fight till dawn
Fang Xiran kept having questions in his mind, but he couldn't hold it back. He strode towards the two of them, and before Lu Shijin bent down to get into the car, he stretched out his arms to stop them.
Lu Shijin was puzzled by the fact that a hand suddenly stopped him from getting in the car. He raised his head and saw that the owner of the arm was actually Fang Xiran.
Lu Shijin: "Why are you here?"
Fang Xiran: "Where are you going?"
The two asked each other in unison, and then answered in unison.
Lu Shijin: "Where do you care about me?"
Fang Xiran: "Are you just hoping that I won't come? How about you continue wandering?"
Lu Shijin rolled his eyes dismissively, "Stupid."
The star-faced handsome guy came to his senses, looked at Fang Xiran who was furious as if he was caught in bed, and asked Lu Shijin in confusion, "Do you know each other?"
They both answered at the same time.
Lu Shijin: "I don't know."
Fang Xiran: "I am his fiance."
The handsome guy with a star face: "..." Well, it turns out that the rightful owner is here.
"Fiance?" Lu Shijin sneered, "Didn't your assistant bring you what I said? I've already broken off the engagement with you. Who is your fiance?"
Fang Xiran looked indifferent, "You want to dissolve the engagement, who agrees? If I don't agree, then it hasn't been terminated yet."
Lu Shijin: "You don't need to agree, anyway, I have nothing to do with you."
The taxi driver got impatient, pressed the window and yelled, "Are you guys going to get in the car or not? If you want to get in the car, hurry up, the cars behind are waiting, don't delay my business, okay?"
"We got in the car and we'll leave right away." Lu Shijin waved Fang Xiran's hand away, making a gesture to get into the car, but Fang Xiran reached out to stop him, but the handsome guy blocked him.
"Mr. Lu, didn't you hear what Mr. Lu said just now?" The handsome guy spoke uprightly, "He has nothing to do with you anymore, please respect yourself."
Fang Xiran twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at him with a sneer, "What are you to make me respect myself?"
The handsome guy's face darkened when he heard Fang Xiran's rude words, and he directly pushed Fang Xiran: "Please get out of the way."
Fang Xiran accurately grabbed the handsome guy's arm and twisted it backhand, causing him to withdraw his hand in pain, and then twisted his wrist leisurely, "Who are you messing with?"
Of course the handsome guy was not convinced, he was going to pursue Lu Shijin, of course he was not reconciled to being ridiculed by Fang Xiran in front of Lu Shijin, and became angry from embarrassment, he raised his fist and punched Fang Xiran in the face.
Fang Xiran dodged flexibly, and two well-dressed handsome men scuffled together in the street regardless of their appearance. Lu Shijin hurried over to fight, but those two seemed crazy, and they refused to stop no matter how much they persuaded them.
Although Fang Xiran was not at a disadvantage, he had injuries on his feet, and the handsome guy noticed that his walking posture was a bit weird, so he seized on his weakness and focused on his feet.
Fang Xiran accidentally tripped over him, lost his balance, and fell straight backward amidst Lu Shijin's exclamation, the back of his head hit the ground heavily, and there was a clear "bang" sound!
Lu Shijin went over and knelt down to help Fang Xiran up and called him by name, but Fang Xiran's eyes were closed tightly as if he had passed out and lost consciousness.
The star-faced handsome guy didn't expect that he just tripped Fang Xiran, and Fang Xiran fell unconscious, a little at a loss, "Mr. Lu, I, I..."
Lu Shijin hugged Fang Xiran tightly in his arms, frowning tightly, his expression was ugly, he didn't even look at the handsome guy, and calmly said, "Help me to the car."
"Oh, good!" The handsome guy hurriedly helped Lu Shijin help Fang Xiran into the car, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Lu Shijin closed the car door and said "um", the handsome guy asked courteously, "Do you want me to go with you?"
Lu Shijin raised his eyes and glanced at him coldly, "No need." Then he walked around to the other side of the car, opened the door and got in the car, urging the driver to go to the nearest hospital.
The handsome guy watched the taxi drive away, and rubbed his nose that was hurt by Fang Xiran just now.
The last look Lu Shijin gave him was so cold that he had the illusion that the two of them would never meet again.
Didn't it mean that they have nothing to do with each other? Then why is he still so nervous? baffling!
—
In the hospital, the doctor did a simple examination on the unconscious Fang Xiran. There was indeed a swelling in the back of his head, but after taking a CT scan of the brain, no congestion was found, and he couldn't wake up, probably because of a concussion. The reason, the doctor suggested to stay in the hospital for observation first, and wait for the patient to wake up.
It was already night, so the hospital could not arrange advanced wards, so it could only arrange ordinary wards for Fang Xiran to rest.
There are a total of three beds in the ward, all of which are sleeping patients.
Fang Xiran's bed was at the innermost, but fortunately each bed was separated by a curtain, which ensured the patient's privacy.
Lu Shijin sat beside Fang Xiran's hospital bed, waiting for Fang Xiran to wake up expressionlessly.
In fact, he had already known through 711 that Fang Xiran would come to City H and would go to that western restaurant at night, so he deliberately appeared there, and even asked Xiao Xianrou to have dinner together, the purpose was to see Fang Xiran's reaction.
If Fang Xiran is angry, it proves that he is in his heart, so he can give Fang Xiran a chance.
But he didn't expect that Fang Xiran would be injured because of this. Fang Xiran had injured his brain in a previous car accident. What if the old injury relapsed because of this fall
He was angry with Fang Xiran, angry that he was defiant, angry that he didn't believe in himself, but seeing Fang Xiran lying on the hospital bed now, he still couldn't help feeling distressed.
What a sin.
"Convenience store, you said that after Fang Xiran wakes up, should I continue the cold war with him, or forgive him?" Lu Shijin asked 711 in distress.
711: "Follow your inner thoughts."
Lu Shijin sighed: "I want to punish him a little bit so that he can realize his mistake, but I never thought of hurting him. But if I just forgive him that easily, I'm unwilling."
711: "In the final analysis, the two of you are not open and honest with each other. You didn't tell Fang Xiran about your feelings for him. It is reasonable for Fang Xiran to have doubts about you, and Fang Xiran didn't tell you his purpose. The most taboo in relationships The most important thing is to conceal and deceive, and this is how misunderstandings often arise. You want to gain Xu Meiru's trust by getting close to Fang Zhuoer, and achieve the purpose of obtaining the evidence of Xu Meiru's murder of Fang Xiran. You can tell Fang Xiran about this kind of thing, so that he will Don't you misunderstand that you and Fang Zhuoer are having trouble?"
Lu Shijin: "Did you forget? Before we were in the Cold War, he said that I bought it with money, and if I don't play, I don't play for nothing."
711: "Isn't that because you deliberately made fun of him in front of his friends and made him lose face, so he said that on purpose?"
Lu Shijin went back further: "But that's because he wanted to go gay with his friends without telling me!"
711: "To be honest, do you really believe that with Fang Xiran's noble and glamorous personality, even if he's gay, would he mess around with others?"
Lu Shijin: "..." Well, after thinking about it, it seems impossible.
Why was it that he was making trouble for no reason when he was said so by the convenience store
No, Lu Shijin, you should be more sober, you are right, it is all the dog man's fault!
"Convenience store." Lu Shijin said quietly.
711: "Why?"
Lu Shijin: "I find that you are becoming more and more like an emotional expert."
711 laughed: "This is what makes the authorities obsessed and the bystanders clear."
Lu Shijin: "Fart, your ability to brainwash people is second to none!"
After hearing the brainwashing from 711, Lu Shijin felt a little headache. Anyway, Fang Xiran hadn't woken up yet, so he planned to go outside to blow some air first.
Lu Shijin got up and left the ward, but just as he stepped out of the door of the ward, Fang Xiran who was on the bed behind him quietly opened his eyes.
He lay down for a while, confirmed that Lu Shijin would not come back so soon, and quickly turned over to find his mobile phone from under the pillow.
Mistake, Fang Xiran didn't expect to come this trip, the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectation, he thought that when he came here, Lu Shijin would reconcile with him, but he didn't expect that Lu Shi would have a new love this morning!
If he hadn't been so quick-witted and fell to the ground and pretended to faint just now, Lu Shijin might still be at odds with him, and went to the hotel to get a room with that little boy!
But he only thought of pretending to be dizzy, but he didn't think about how to tell Lu Shijin when he woke up, so he could only keep pretending.
What if Lu Shijin still clamors to break off the engagement with him after he wakes up
Fang Xiran had never coaxed people before, so at this time, he had to turn to his good buddy, Love Sage Zhao Ze, to ask him how to deal with this situation.
Fang Xiran sent Zhao Ze a WeChat message: [In? Rivers and lakes emergency!]
Zhao Ze quickly came back: [What's wrong, brother?]
Fang Xiran: [I have a friend who had some conflicts with his partner. I don't know how to solve it. I want to ask you what a good solution is.]
Zhao Ze: [What's the matter? / pick nose]
Fang Xiran: [My friend, he made a big mistake.]
Zhao Ze: [What big mistake? Did she cheat or raise a mistress?]
Fang Xiran: [It's not that serious.]
Fang Xiran roughly explained the cause and effect to Zhao Ze. Of course, he didn't mention himself, but firmly called him a friend.
After Zhao Ze listened to Fang Xiran's voice message, he didn't reply for a long time.
Fang Xiran couldn't help urging and asked: [How is it? Is there any way you can get my friend's partner back?]
Zhao Ze: [Do you call this serious? Is this worse than cheating? If your friend wasn't beaten to death by his partner, it's his life!]
Fang Xiran: [I asked you to help out with ideas, not to ridicule.]
Zhao Ze: [Usually in this situation, my suggestion is, let your friend go back to the furnace and rebuild it. If you want to die, don't blame the crematorium for the burning. /pray/pray/pray]
Fang Xiran: [………]
Zhao Ze: [By the way, who is that friend of yours? Why didn't I know you had such a brain-dead friend? /doubt]
Fang Xiran threw away the phone and refused to contact this bad friend again.
"Returning to the furnace... Remaking..." Fang Xiran lay down on the bed, muttering these four words over and over again, suddenly his eyes lit up, that's right! It's remaking!
There is a way!
At this time, just in time to hear the sound of the ward door opening, Fang Xiran hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He felt that Lu Shijin had returned to his bedside. After contemplating for a while, he shook his eyelashes, rolled his eyes, and slowly opened them. squinted.
When Lu Shijin saw him wake up, he was both surprised and happy, "Are you awake? How do you feel? Do you have a headache?"
Fang Xiran blinked, stared at Lu Shijin's face for a while, and his expression gradually became bewildered.
Looking at his expression, Lu Shijin suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Fang Xiran frowned and asked in confusion, "Who are you? Where is this?"
Lu Shijin: "..." Here we go again!
