his story

Li Mo poured Yan Shu a glass of watermelon juice, saw his frowning, snorted, and said, "Why, you still dislike this and want to drink? Are you afraid of being domestically abused when you go back?"

Yan Shu thought about the consequences of returning home smelled of alcohol, and obediently drank the watermelon juice.

Li Mo asked him while scrubbing the cup: "I haven't seen you for so long, how are you doing?"

"As usual, how about you? I see you are very busy today, do you want me to help you?"

"Oh, no, no, I think you should hurry back after drinking. I'm afraid someone will come and ruin my place if it's too late."

Yan Shu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "He alone should not be able to beat your security guards."

Li Mo rolled her eyes: "This is a singles bar, and showing affection is forbidden!"

Yan Shu blinked and said, "Li Mo, why do I feel that you are a little sensitive recently, is there something good going on?"

"A good thing?" Li Mo chuckled, "It's really bad luck! I met a crazy person."

Yan Shu's curiosity came: "Who? Have I seen it? Male or female?"

Li Mo set the cup and sighed: "Brother, when did you gossip like this? Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself. The buddy over there has seen you several times."

Yan Shu: "Don't change the subject, tell me honestly, maybe I can give you some advice."

"Oh, it's just a crazy woman with a brain, don't worry about it, I have a way to get rid of her." Li Mo heard a guest calling for a waiter, he answered, and then said to Yan Shu: "I Go and say hello, you sit down first."

"Don't worry about me, I'll be leaving soon."

Li Mo hurried to entertain the guests, Yan Shu finished drinking the watermelon juice in the glass, pressed a piece of money under the glass, and left the bar.

As soon as Yan Shu walked to the parking lot, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Little tree!" Looking back, a person he hadn't seen for a long time appeared in front of him, and the childishness in the familiar eyebrows and eyes disappeared.It's the fields.

He was wearing a shirt and trousers, with a jacket draped over his arms, approaching step by step, with a smile on his lips, and said to Yan Shu: "Xiao Shu, long time no see."

Yan Shu was stunned, but also smiled: "Tianye, long time no see."

Tian Ye asked him, "How are you doing?"

Yan Shu replied: "Very good, how about you?"

"I'm pretty good too." Tian Ye said, "You've changed a lot. I was wondering if it was you in the bar just now."

"It's been so long, and you are not the same as before." Yan Shu joked: "I see that you have a successful career with this outfit."

Tian Ye laughed: "Generally speaking, it's just a small business. Where are you getting a job now? Lawyer or judge?"

"I can't talk about high, I opened a small shop." Yan Shu said.

"I remember that you majored in law, why didn't you continue to develop in this direction?"

"Some things have happened, but it's a turning point. I found that studying law is useless. It's still the most profitable way to make money." Yan Shu said with a smile, "When did you come back from abroad? Why are you willing to leave behind the philandering of capitalism? , return to our harmonious society."

"It's been more than a year since I came back, and there is nothing good abroad, but it is still comfortable at home."

"What I'm talking about is that fallen leaves return to their roots. I also thought about returning to my hometown in M ​​City."

The old friend who reunited after a long absence can only say a few awkward greetings, and after some politeness, there is only silence.

Yan Shu glanced at the watch on his wrist: "It's getting late, I have to go first, let's get together later when we have time."

He raised his hand to signal goodbye to Tian Ye, and turned to open the car door, but Tian Ye stopped him and said, "Xiaoshu, I'm single now."

Yan Shu was stunned.

"Is there any chance for us to be together?"

Yan Shu didn't move for a while, when he turned around, there was a polite but apologetic smile on his face: "I have a lover."

Yan Shu said: "Tianye, we will always be friends."

******

Back then, Yan Shu resigned from City Z, sold the house he had saved enough to buy with a down payment, and came to City A. By chance, he met Li Mo and worked in Li Mo's bar for a while.

Li Mo is very righteous and straightforward, and he is used to treat Yan Shu with the mentality of an elder. He told Yan Shu when he first met him for a while: "Yan Shu, don't be unhappy when I say something, you are really a good person. But it sounds like humility, and it sounds like cowardice. Everyone in this society is fighting, but you are always used to politely giving up the microphone to others. As time goes by, no one takes your opinion seriously, do you understand? ? Don't always worry about offending people, in this area, if something goes wrong, I will take care of you."

Later, Li Mo said that he would introduce a girlfriend to him. After Yan Shu refused several times, he simply confessed his sexuality. Li Mo was stunned and didn't say a word to him for a long time. He took a day off: "This time it's a man, you go and meet him."

Yan Shu said that he didn't have any thoughts about this for the time being, but Li Mo's attitude was very strong: "What are you afraid of? It's just a meeting, and it's not that you want to spend the rest of your life with him directly. If you don't take this step, you will always be alone, and , this person is a perfect match for you!"

——"Both of your names give me the urge to chew my tongue."

Then, Yan Shu met Leng Zhen.

They first met in a cafe.

Leng Zhen was sitting on the seat by the window, wearing a simple white shirt, with a straight back, his appearance was very handsome, his facial features were deep, and just sitting there attracted the attention of most people.

Yan Shu sat across from him, and as soon as the eyes of the two met, Yan Shu couldn't sit still, there was no other reason, Leng Zhen's eyes were too sharp, like a knife, Yan Shu felt that he was It seemed that he had been pierced with several holes.

The following conversation also made Yan Shu regret agreeing to Li Mo to participate in this "blind date".

Leng Zhen's attitude is no different from business affairs. His expression is indifferent, and it seems that there is a bit of disgust. First, he handed Yan Shu a business card, introduced himself, and then looked at Yan Shu intently. Yan Shu instantly understood what he meant, and introduced himself as if facing an interviewer.

Yan Shu resisted the urge to run away, and pretended to hold the cup up to his lips, and suddenly heard Leng Zhen asking him: "Mr. Yan, what do you think of me?"

Yan Shu took a sip of coffee before swallowing it, and coughed uncontrollably, Leng Zhen frowned upon seeing this.Yan Shu covered his mouth and coughed for a long time before recovering, and apologized to Leng Zhen, who said, "Mr. Yan, I'm still waiting for your answer."

Yan Shu didn't expect him to be so persistent, so he could only bite the bullet and reply: "...Mr. Leng, you are very handsome."

Leng Zhen seemed very satisfied after hearing this, and his expression softened a bit, and he said: "Mr. Yan's appearance is also in line with my aesthetics."

Yan Shu was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, so he could only force a smile.The two finished their coffee in a strange atmosphere, Yan Shu was restless, and Leng Zhen didn't seem to notice it.

After the two said goodbye, Yan Shu heaved a sigh of relief.

Yan Shu thought that the matter was settled here, but he never expected that a week later Li Mo would suddenly come over and ask him, "Brother, why didn't you contact Leng Zhen?"

Yan Shu was at a loss: "Why should I contact him?"

"Don't you two hit it off and hit it off?"

Yan Shu's head was full of question marks: "Who did you listen to!?"

"Who else can there be?" Li Mo also looked hopeless, "Leng Zhen said that he has a good impression of you, and you are full of praise for him, and you also exchanged contact information, but you have not contacted him , I want to know if you are playing hard to get?"

Yan Shu: "..."

Li Mo: "What's the matter with you two?"

Yan Shu: "I think Mr. Leng may have misunderstood." He told Li Mo the situation when the two met at that time, and Li Mo almost didn't laugh when he heard it.

"Hahahahahaha, my old classmate! I don't change my true nature!" Li Mo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Yan Shu: "Yan Shu, let me tell you the truth, the last time we met, he took the initiative I was also surprised when I brought it up. He usually doesn’t come to my bar a few times a year. He saw you when he came last month, and he came almost every day after that, but you didn’t notice him. Leng Zhen, people are actually Yes, he is handsome, high IQ, young and promising, but unfortunately his EQ is extremely low. He was like this when he was in school. He is probably really interested in you. Don’t rush to reject him. Try to get along with him again. Give yourself a chance."

So there was a second meeting.

This time I went to the aquarium, during which Leng Zhen kept his face cold and didn't say a few words to Yan Shu, and the super-strong air conditioner was installed within three meters of his body, Yan Shu felt that even the fish in those glass covers would be frozen Had to hide in a corner and shiver.

After coming out of the aquarium, the two went to a western restaurant for lunch. Yan Shu was terrified by the numbers on the menu, but Leng Zhen ordered a lot without changing his face.Yan Shu couldn't eat, and Leng Zhen didn't seem to have any appetite. Halfway through the meal, Leng Zhen answered a phone call. It was a matter of work. He briefly explained over the phone that he would return to the company immediately.

Yan Shu stood up and said, "Then you go to work, I won't bother you."

Leng Zhen seemed to have seen through his true thoughts, the arc of his mouth looked like a sneer, and he said, "No hurry, I'll take you back."

Yan Shu had no choice but to take his car back to the entrance of the rented community.It was noon, and the scorching sun was on the horizon. When Yan Shu got out of the car, the hot air rushed out of his forehead. Leng Zhen also got out of the car. Yan Shu was a little strange: "Mr. Yes, you can go back to the car."

"I don't think it's hot." Leng Zhen walked up to Yan Shu, took out a box from his pants pocket, and opened it in front of his face. Inside was a watch with a logo on it, even Yan Shu knew the price. Fei.

"Mr. Leng," Yan Shu took a few steps back with a serious expression, "I can't accept this."

"Throw it away if you don't want it." Leng Zhen said indifferently, put the watch strap box on the ground, and drove away.

Yan Shu reluctantly took the watch to see Li Mo, asked him to return it to Leng Zhen, and told the whole story by the way, Li Mo laughed again.

"It's actually my fault. I advised him to talk as little as possible. I also said that if you don't have feelings for him, give him some gifts and create some ties."

Yan Shu was speechless.

Li Mo asked him: "You really don't have feelings for him?"

Yan Shu: "I don't think it's appropriate."

Li Mo: "It's true that you can't force it, but it's not appropriate for me to return it. You have to explain it to him yourself."

Li Mo stuffed the box back to Yan Shu, Yan Shu had no choice but to ask Leng Zhen to meet for the third time.

This time, the appointment was at Li Mo's bar, and Yan Shu straight to the point said to Leng Zhen: "Mr. Leng, you are indeed very good, but I'm sorry, I don't mean that to you, I hope you can understand."

Leng Zhen was sitting on a high chair by the bar, holding a wine glass in one hand and leaning on the edge of the bar with the other. Under the ambiguous light, he still looked aloof. He glanced at the untouched box on the table, He lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."

Yan Shu felt that the dust had finally settled. He was not good at dealing with such problems, but Leng Zhen's cooperation made him feel relieved. He smiled at Leng Zhen and ran to help Li Mo.

After the bar closes, Yan Shu intends to go home, but Li Mo stops him and asks him to take the drunk Leng Zhen home.

"This guy doesn't know how to drink, but he broke his precept tonight. I also drank a few drinks and can't drive. You can send him back."

Yan Shu was a little nervous: "You can ask the driver to deliver it."

But Li Mo disagreed: "No, what if such a beautiful and drunk man who is as beautiful as a flower and a jade is ruined and insulted by a big man with evil intentions? And you just broke his heart, you have to take the blame This is the last time."

Yan Shu: "..."

Yan Shu finally resigned to his fate and drove Leng Zhen back home. Leng Zhen lived in a high-end residential area. He himself was in a coma, and Yan Shu had a new face. The security guard at the gate of the residential area was worried, so Yan Shu showed his ID card. , Repeatedly ensured that he was not a bad person to be released.

According to the address sent by Li Mo, I found the floor where Leng Zhen lived, and unlocked the door with Leng Zhen's fingerprints. With the moonlight shining through the glass window, Yan Shu took a lot of effort to put Leng Zhen on the sofa in the living room .Leng Zhen doesn't look strong, but he is half a head taller than Yan Shu, and Yan Shu can feel the muscles under his thin shirt even with Yan Shu half behind his back.Carrying Leng Zhen from the parking lot all the way home, Yan Shu was also sweating from exhaustion.

But it's not good to leave the person directly on the sofa, Yan Shu reckoned that he had to work harder to get him to the bedroom.He bent down slightly to try to pull Leng Zhen back up, but his wrist was grabbed, and he couldn't stand on his feet, and the whole body fell on Leng Zhen's body.

In the darkness, Leng Zhen's eyes looked particularly deep and bright, although he was still drunk, it still made people's heart palpitate.Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, then flung him away vigorously and ran away.

This incident left a deep shadow on Yan Shu, but it still couldn't get rid of it, every time it came to his mind, it made him want to go crazy, screaming to the sky.

After Yan Shu found a formal job, in order to get rid of this entangled and tormented emotion, he rarely even went to Li Mo's place. He usually contacted Li Mo through mobile phones, and Li Mo never mentioned the cold truth. Yan Shu thought that This matter finally turned the page, so when Leng Zhen appeared at the door of his house, Yan Shu's first reaction was to run away.

Of course it didn't work, Leng Zhen stopped him with one long leg: "Let's talk." Yan Shu was trapped in the corner, just like the fish in the glass cover of the aquarium back then, with no way out.

Probably because Yan Shu's defensive posture was too obvious, Leng Zhen took a few steps back, and there was a distance between the two of them. He stared at Yan Shu and said, "Mr. Yan, I understand what you mean, but I still don't want to Give up, so if you're bothered, I apologize in advance."

There was no apology in Leng Zhen's tone, he seemed to be here to inform Yan Shu, with a little impatience on his face, but Yan Shu felt his nervousness inexplicably.

Leng Zhen: "I will contact you again, just wait."

Yan Shu: "..."

Leng Zhen left after playing "ruthless words", Yan Shu returned to the rented room, the roommate next door was sitting in the living room watching a talent show, and the well-dressed contestants sang on stage: If you still have expectations in your heart , don't let the past get in the way of the future...

Does he still have expectations?Probably, there are.
