Chapter 149: A Belated Candlelight Dinner

On Saturday, I still get up at the same time as I go to work, as it has been recently, even if I am on vacation, I can't sleep for long, forming a fixed biological clock, maybe I have some worries in my heart.

After breakfast, I turned on the computer, took out a pen and paper and thought on the table about the annual meeting of their group that Qi Min told me yesterday. For him, the highlight of this annual meeting is the theme of Xu Mengjun's birthday; But for others, this is definitely an exciting and amazing high-end annual meeting, how to meet the coexistence of these two points at the same time, this is the focus and difficulty of the whole project.

I've thought about it for a long time, and I don't have any better ideas, so let's just come to a bland level. The event must be preceded by a leader's speech and a report to the employees on the group's achievements throughout the year and how to look forward to next year. When the previous links are over, arrange a singing and dancing performance, and then let Qi Min be the finale performer to appear last, and let him arrange what to perform.

When his performance ended, he took the last bit of time to insert Xu Mengjun's birthday theme, and the big screen showed a slideshow or video of the sweet memories of the two, communicated with the employees in advance, and combined and edited out a sentence of "Happy Birthday" for each person. In this way, it should be okay, right? Ordinary people can better interpret love.

In the words that girls often say nowadays, this is probably the expression of "straight man". Whatever, it's not my girlfriend's birthday anyway. Thinking of this, a question suddenly came to my nerves: Han Yue, when is her birthday? I have to ask her at dinner in the evening.

......

In the afternoon, I stopped working and planned to take a break. was idle and bored, so I simply made a video call to Yang Fan, and I haven't contacted him for a few days.

After a long time, Yang Fan finally answered my call, and in the video, he seemed to be leaning on the edge of a bed, holding a cigarette, looking very chic.

"Yo, where are you?" I asked, smiling, seeing that he was smoking, and I took one out of my cigarette case and lit it.

"I'm on a business trip, and I'll be in the hotel. He had a cigarette in his mouth and spoke in a muffled voice.

I nodded abruptly, "By the way, it should be snowing in Chongqing, right? It's already deep winter now, alas, as an authentic southerner, I haven't seen snow yet?"

"When you haven't seen it yet, you're curious and looking forward to it, but when you experience it yourself, you feel like it's nothing, and that's it. It's not cold when it snows, and it's cold when the snow melts. He turned his face sideways to look at the ashtray on the bedside table and flicked the ashes, "But ah, I still think the south is a little colder, there is a saying, 'The clammy cold in the south is the injury of the legal system, and the freezing is the soul; The dry cold in the north is a physical injury, and only the flesh is frozen. ’”

"You're a god parable!" I smiled and asked, "How's the job?"

"It's okay, that's it, it won't be so easy for a while, but I can learn a lot from our director. ”

"Honey, who are you talking to......"

Hmmm? That's ...... Immediately after that, I heard the sound of the phone vibrating again.

"What's going on, why is it a woman's voice?"

Yang Fan disagreed, and said in a quick tone: "I'm turning on the TV, okay, I won't tell you first, the customer called, hung up, let's talk next time." ”

"Hello?"

"Ding!" is displayed on the screen with the prompt "the other party has hung up".

Why do I always feel that the expression on his face seems a little unnatural since I asked, "Why is there a woman's voice?? Anyway, maybe I misheard it.

After putting down the phone, I looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and after thinking about it, I sent a message to Han Yue and asked her what time she would come back in the evening.

But Han Yue didn't reply to me immediately, but it took me more than half an hour before I received a message from her.

"I was in a meeting just now, now I'm going to take a break, and I'll continue later, you can buy vegetables first, as long as it's your cooking, I like to eat it." She replied to me with a "cute" look at the end.

"What do you want to eat first?" I smirked as I looked at the screen.

"Green vegetables, shrimp, yes, I want to eat seafood, I haven't eaten seafood in a long time. ”

She replied quickly to my questions, but immediately sent another message saying that she was going to have a meeting, and I had to stop talking to her. I looked at the time, took out a small notebook and wrote down all the foods she had just said she liked to eat, and then changed my shoes and went downstairs.

I first went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and then went to the nearby shopping mall to buy two bottles of red wine, until I felt a sore feeling in my left and right hands, and I realized that I had bought so many things that I could not take them. This meal in the evening is not cheap, it costs more than 300 to buy vegetables, two bottles of red wine are almost 700, just about 1,000, I remember that I haven't spent so much money for a dinner for a long time, if I eat alone, a few dozen yuan can be done. However, today is a different day.

......

At six o'clock in the evening, I finished the last dish, brought it to the table, and then turned back to the kitchen to make the pot of American ginseng and chicken pork rib soup, I am not sure if I did it, but I vaguely remember that my mother had boiled this soup for me when I was at home. Don't say it, it smells really good.

When all the dishes were put on the table, I was not satisfied with the adjustment of their positions, a total of six dishes, a soup, and red wine had already been opened, but I stood in front of the table and watched, and I always felt that something was missing on the table. I thought about it for a moment, yes, wouldn't it be more romantic to light two candles in the middle of the table?

I turned off the lights in the room, and the candles on the table weren't very bright, but they were just enough to illuminate the space between us, and I think it could also reflect her beauty. I imagined how happy I would be when she came back. When the test was done, I turned the light on again, blew out the candle, and waited quietly for her to return.

......

The wait is the longest. It's past seven o'clock, and Han Yue hasn't come yet. I ran to the balcony countless times to see if her car was driving in downstairs, but it was all empty. It's so cold outside, it's 12 degrees indoors, let alone outside, so except for the lonely street lamps downstairs, there are no pedestrians

At 8:40 a.m., I still didn't see the car I wanted to see downstairs.

It was half past nine, and my heart gradually sank, and my expectation gradually turned into a little disappointment...... I had to walk back to the house from the balcony with my head down, and then take the food on the table to heat it up, it was cold, and the food cooled quickly, and this was the third time I had taken the food to heat.

After finishing the dishes, I looked at the messages sent to Han Yue on my phone, as if I was the only one talking to myself in her chat box, and I couldn't get a reply, and the phone was also the long "doodoo" prompt tone, and no one answered. I leaned back on the couch, lit my fifth cigarette of the night, reached out and felt the switch on the wall, turned the wait on and off, and repeated the action over and over again. At the moment when I was turned off, the brief darkness was like a black hole, swallowing up all the loneliness and loss in my heart.

......

"Knock knock. ”

At 10:20 p.m., I finally heard a knock on the door outside the house, I put on a coat and walked out, and found that it seemed to be colder outside, the wind was very strong, and I don't know when there were light raindrops.

I opened the door with anticipation, Han Yue...... She's finally here! Her face was tired, and her expression was full of guilt and self-reproach, but it didn't matter, as long as people came.

"I'm sorry, I came back late, and there was an accident on the way back, which delayed the time. ”

"It's okay, it's good to come, let's get inside, it's cold outside. I gave her my place, and when she came in, I walked in front of her again, "You sit down first, and I'll heat up the food a little bit, soon." ”

Han Yue entered the room and saw the dishes and red wine on the table, as well as candles, her eyes immediately turned red, she raised the back of her hand to block her nose, and turned her face sideways.

I looked at her and smirked, "Didn't you expect to be so surprised?

After I finished heating all the dishes, I walked out to the living room, and just wanted to speak, but I saw that Han Yue was already sitting on the sofa and falling asleep, bending one hand to support her head, God knows how sleepy she was, and the cigarette butts on the ashtray on the table had all been cleaned up by her.

I walked up to her and looked at her cheeks carefully and seriously, I really couldn't find the slightest flaw, so I just looked at her blankly, but I couldn't bear to wake her up. Han Yue's hand suddenly loosened, and when her head was about to be sideways, I quickly caught it with the palm of my hand, and she finally opened her eyes in her pajamas.

"It's time to eat, come and try our candlelit dinner. ”

I spoke in a very soft voice, Han Yue looked at me and smiled, and then her eyes were all attracted by what I had carefully prepared on the table, and the faint light of the candle reflected on her face, which was almost the same as the picture I had imagined before, and it was beautifully moving......
