23. Chapter 23

The two sat down at a nearby cafΓ© and ordered two cups of coffee.

Liang Xiu spoke first and said, "Mr. Li, I just haven't thanked you properly and formally for the last time you sent me to the hospital, so it's really troublesome for you." ”

Li Shutang said nonchalantly: "It's just a trivial matter, Mr. Liang doesn't have to take it to heart, and I didn't ask Mr. Liang to come out to talk about this." It's true that there is something I said, and maybe what I said would be a little rude, but I thought about it for a long time, and I still want to say it, so I'll apologize to you first. ”

Liang Xiu looked at Li Shutang's expression, and always felt very strange, so he said: "Mr. Li doesn't have to be so polite, you can say anything directly." ”

Li Shutang nodded and said, "I like Zhang Yuan very much." ”

Liang Xiu was slightly surprised, Li Shutang liked Zhang Yuan and saw it before, but Li Shutang said such things to himself, was there any misunderstanding?

Liang Xiu looked at Li Shutang with some puzzlement and said, "I'...... I see, but you should sue him directly, why did you say it to me? ”

Li Shutang was also a little surprised, and said, "Huh? I thought you were ...... to him."

Liang Xiu suddenly realized, and felt a little funny. He and Zhang Yuan have always been very close, no wonder Li Shutang misunderstood. Liang Xiu chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Mr. Li, you misunderstood, Zhang Yuan and I have never had that kind of relationship. I admire him a lot, but I just think of him as a good brother, and it's definitely not what you think about between us, you really misunderstood."

Li Shutang suddenly felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and his face became gloomy. He believed that Liang Xiu had no reason to lie to himself.

Thinking about it carefully, it can indeed be seen that Liang Xiu's closeness to Zhang Yuan has always been moderate, but because he cares about it, he is chaotic, and he always looks at the two with preconceived ideas.

So Li Shutang suddenly felt that he had done something stupid, and he couldn't laugh or cry. He shook his head, laughed self-deprecatingly, and then nodded to Liang Xiu and said, "That's really sorry, I said something very rude to Mr. Liang." ”

Liang Xiu also smiled and greeted, Li Shutang was really a very cultivated person, even if he said such a thing, he couldn't make Liang Xiu feel any disgust, but appreciated him even more. If you like it, you have to say it, and even told yourself this imaginary "love rival" very gracefully, without a little arrogance, he just calmly said what he thought, holding a heart of fair competition.

That's a really nice guy.

Liang Xiu chuckled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Mr. Li is very calm." ”

Li Shutang also smiled, then breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's the case...... Then I should be happy, and it would be a good thing for me to have such a charismatic competitor as Mr. Liang. ”

"No, Mr. Li, in fact, your opponent has never been me. I think you're mistaken, Xiao Yuan is not gay, in fact, he himself is your biggest opponent. ”

"Huh?" Li Shutang's eyes widened. He recalled his reaction when he teased Zhang Yuan just a few days ago, and that reaction should have ......

Li Shutang was a little confused, feeling that he had been dizzy by Zhang Yuan, a little brat.

Liang Xiudao: "At least for so many years I have known him, he has been dating girls. But occasionally I think he loves to be coquettish with men, and I don't know him very well...... That kid really didn't know that he was very recruiting, and owed a lot of romantic debts that he didn't even know about. ”

Li Shutang listened to Liang Xiu's meaning, probably because there were other men who also liked Zhang Yuan, but he didn't react directly.

Li Shutang recalled all the details of getting along with Zhang Yuan over and over again, and was still very confused. The only thing that is certain is that Zhang Yuan is not averse to being close to him and having physical contact, and after what happened last time, they are already very close to each other.

So there is hope for yourself.

"Mr. Li, I actually really admire Xiao Yuan, his talent has been buried. I'm really happy for him to be valued by you now. And you are a very, very good person, both business acumen and charisma, and if you like him, it means that he is very good...... It's just that I still have some worries. ”

"Please."

"I came out early, so I knew it wasn't going to be easy. And he's still young...... I don't think Mr. Li will be too embarrassed by Xiao Yuan, right? ”

Liang Xiu said very implicitly, but Li Shutang understood what he meant.

"Mr. Liang thinks too much, I understand your concerns, and I don't have the kind of interest in forcing others. I like him naturally to do my best to fight for it, and I am willing to be good to him, and I am lucky to get his response. If he's disgusted, I'll leave. I'm not old enough to bully a child. ”

Liang Xiu, who was assured by Li Shutang, breathed a sigh of relief, and was glad that Zhang Yuan met Li Shutang.

"Then it's not convenient for me to intervene in the private matter between you and Xiao Yuan, so I wish both of you can get what you want." After speaking, Liang Xiu got up and prepared to leave.

"Thank you." Li Shutang also got up.

The two shook hands and said goodbye, ending the conversation. It's a good result, and both of them have left a very good impression on each other.

After returning home, Li Shutang sorted out his thoughts first, and then felt relaxed and nervous. Although he told Liang Xiu that he would not force Zhang Yuan, in fact, when he said this, Li Shutang already had the idea that he would definitely succeed.

With Zhang Yuan's attitude towards himself, Li Shutang felt that he would not miss.

At this age, he was tempted by a little boy, and Li Shutang himself didn't expect it. But since you have met someone you like so much, there is no reason to let him go.

Li Shutang really couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and went to the study, turned on the computer and started to search for Zhang Yuan again. Li Shutang couldn't stop when he saw it, Zhang Yuan was amused and cute in various programs, and he laughed very little, Li Shutang's heart softened, he really missed Zhang Yuan, so he took his mobile phone and sent a text message to Zhang Yuan.

――Did you sleep?

Tomorrow Zhang Yuan's filming work will end and he is about to return to China, Li Shutang thought that maybe he would not reply to his message immediately when he was tired and fell asleep, but what he didn't expect was that in less than a minute, Zhang Yuan replied to the message.

- Not yet, Mr. Li, why didn't you sleep, it's so late.

Li Shutang immediately smiled.

――I just watched a few videos of your previous shows, and I thought it was fun, so I couldn't sleep.

- Haha, I'm embarrassed that those are so good-looking, not good-looking at all.

――It's not pretty, but it's cute. After reading it, I miss you very much, and I really want to see you soon.

After sending this message, Li Shutang began to feel a little apprehensive, feeling like a little child in his first love.

This time Zhang Yuan didn't reply so quickly, Li Shutang imagined in his heart that Zhang Yuan must have been frightened again in a distant place, and maybe he would bite his hand and guess the deep meaning of his words......

The more I thought about Li Shutang, the more fun I felt, waiting for Zhang Yuan to reply to him.

was really guessed correctly by Li Shutang, Zhang Yuan was originally shrunk in the quilt and drowsily, and sent a text message back to Li Shutang, but as a result, Zhang Yuan almost woke up in fright.

He held his phone for a long time and didn't know how to reply. He felt that his IQ had plummeted after he met Li Shutang, and every day he felt that something was wrong here and there, but he couldn't remember what was wrong.

Occasionally, there was a hint of trying to catch these strange thoughts, but it never worked.

Zhang Yuan stiffened his mobile phone for a long time, and Li Shutang's upright face appeared in front of him, and then his mind was messed up again.

But I can't help but reply to this news, after all, Father Li has always doted on him in every way, and he doesn't reply when he sees the news, which is not good.

Zhang Yuan thought about it and confidently replied with a decent message.

――I also want to think about the crayfish made by Mr. Li, it's so delicious, haha.

Li Shutang waited for a while, and finally saw Zhang Yuan's reply.

thought he was clever to divert the topic, but the caution in it was completely seen by Li Shutang, and he could almost imagine Zhang Yuan's tangled expression.

When it came to this Cheng dΓΉ, Li Shutang was also satisfied and replied quickly.

- Well, then you finish your work early, and I'll make you something to eat when you get home. So now it's almost time to sleep, good night son.

- Oh, you're not done yet...... Okay, good night to Mr. Li.

Li Shutang put down his mobile phone with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

The process of waiting and missing him, every second is a sweet torment.

***

After wandering outside for a long time, he was injured and frightened, and this unlucky show finally ended, and Zhang Yuan finally returned to China.

When he came back, Zhang Yuan checked the schedule, looked at the time when he was not too busy, and wanted to ask Li Shutang to have a meal, although Zhang Yuan really wanted to eat the dishes made by Li Shutang, but thinking that Li Shutang had helped him so much before, he must thank others, he was working before, and now that he has returned to China, he has to express it.

Zhang Yuan made an appointment with Li Shutang, picked a time when both of them were free, and wanted to invite Li Shutang to dinner.

When communicating with Li Shutang on the phone, Li Shutang was a little lacking in interest and said, "I'm tired of eating, is there anything fun?" ”

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but want to open his mouth, and said in a strange tone: "The teacher asks for a lot...... What else do you want to play? ”

Li Shutang smiled and said, "Why does this kid talk like this." I mean, do you want to go to the playground and play? I watched your interview before, and you said that you like to play with those things when you're in a bad mood, so if you have time anyway, why don't we go together? ”
