3 【Eat Together】
Chapter 3: Going Out to Eat
When Xia Chengyou walked to Zhou Huaiyu's car, his heart was extremely empty, and he cautiously waved his hand at Zhou Huaiyu to say hello.
Zhou Huaiyu's gaze looked at him through the windshield, and his gaze looked at him from head to toe. Say, "You're talking about half an hour soon?" ”
Xia Chengyou smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." ”
Zhou Huaiyu didn't say anything more, and tilted his head slightly to signal Xia Chengyou to get in the car quickly.
Xia Chengyou opened the back seat door. Zhou Huaiyu said: "The co-pilot's seat has been cleaned in the 4S shop, it is dry, come to the front and sit." ”
"Oh good." Xia Chengyou opened the passenger door and sat in, saying, "How much is the cleaning fee, I will send you a red envelope." ”
A hint of displeasure appeared in Zhou Huaiyu's eyes: "No." ”
There is a fresh and cold fragrance gradually lingering in the car, and if you smell it carefully, there will be a little smell of wine and sea water, faintly with a little clean sexy.
Zhou Huaiyu's hand holding the steering wheel paused, and looked sideways at Xia Chengyou: "Did you spray perfume?" ”
Xia Chengyou nodded: "Silver water and green river." ”
Zhou Huaiyu retracted his gaze and hummed softly when he started the car.
The black car drove out of the garage, and the light suddenly brightened a lot. It's not that Zhou Huaiyu hasn't seen boys spray perfume, and it's not that he hasn't smelled the "Silver Water Green River" perfume. But I just feel that this fragrance emanates from Xia Chengyou's body, and there is a different feeling.
He opened all the windows of the car, letting the evening breeze of the city pour into the car, washing away the smell of Xia Chengyou.
But this move made Xia Chengyou subconsciously think that it was the smell of his perfume that made Zhou Huaiyu feel uncomfortable, and he was a little cramped, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm used to going out to spray perfume." If you don't feel good, I'll sit in the back. ”
"No, you don't." Zhou Huaiyu looked at the road ahead. His expression did not change, he was as calm as ever. There seems to be no mood swings.
Xia Chengyou looked in the mirror before going out and felt that he was handsome, but Zhou Huaiyu only glanced at him and didn't look at it again. Sure enough, straight men don't appreciate the appearance of their kind.
However, he didn't want Zhou Huaiyu to appreciate it, he just wanted to stand next to Zhou Huaiyu and not be compared to an ordinary man.
"Where are we going to eat?" Xia Chengyou asked.
Zhou Huaiyu said: "I'm not familiar with Jiangcheng, you can recommend it." ”
Xia Chengyou smiled and bent his eyes: "Then you can ask the right person, I have been in Jiangcheng for eight years, and I have almost all the places where I eat here." I know where the shops are delicious and where the shops are not delicious. ”
Zhou Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked an irrelevant word: "Come to eat alone, or is someone accompanied?" ”
"Sometimes it's alone, sometimes it's someone with you." Xia Chengyou remembered that when he was in Nancheng before, he only went to eat all kinds of food with Zhou Huaiyu. He has been a foodie since he was a child, and Zhou Huaiyu has a bad appetite, so he often pulls Zhou Huaiyu together.
Zhou Huaiyu's black and white eyes deepened a little, and said, "Who are you with?" ”
Xia Chengyou: "There are colleagues, friends who play games online, friends who draw together, and friends who play ball. ”
Zhou Huaiyu suddenly asked: "You have been out of the closet for four years and have never had a boyfriend?" ”
The question was asked bluntly and suddenly, Xia Chengyou was a little confused, and then began to feel uncomfortable. Fingers tugged at the seat belt, looked away, and said in a low voice, "No." ”
Zhou Huaiyu: "I thought you came out of the closet because you fell in love with a man." So since you don't like men, how do you know you're Gay? ”
Xia Chengyou's ears warmed up, and he didn't want to answer this question. Of course, he only knew that he was gay when he liked the man. Since the age of sixteen, I have had a different attachment to Zhou Huaiyu than other boys, and I didn't think it was love at that time.
Later, as he grew older, he found that he could have lust for Zhou Huaiyu at the age of eighteen. Hope. And desire. The desire is getting stronger and stronger, so strong that I feel that I have nothing. Shame. Flow.
Since then, I have known that I am finished, and I fell in love with the bamboo horse that I grew up with.
He used silence to deal with Zhou Huaiyu's problems.
But Zhou Huaiyu still didn't let him go, a little tricky: "Don't you want to tell me? ”
Xia Chengyou gritted his teeth and said, "You won't understand." Anyway, it's sure and sure that I'm bent. ”
Zhou Huaiyu didn't ask him anything more. The car continued to drive, and finally arrived at the place recommended by Xia Chengyou.
It's a long, long snack street. At this time, it was only about six o'clock, and there were already many people coming to the snack street. The stalls were steaming hot, and people were buzzing with their voices. This is the fireworks of the world.
Zhou Huaiyu parked the car in the open-air parking lot and walked over with Xia Chengyou.
The passers-by around them will take a few more glances when they pass by, and their eyes will shine with the light of appreciating the handsome guy. Some people will also take out their mobile phones and steal them. Take a picture of their backs and excitedly share it with your friends.
Xia Chengyou walked in front and said in a brisk tone: "I have eaten every food stall here, and I won't recommend it to you if I have stepped on thunder, I will only take you to eat what I think is the best today." ”
Zhou Huaiyu followed two or three steps behind him, and looked at Xia Chengyou again. He wears a white T-shirt over a light blue striped shirt. Khaki cargo shorts, navy skate shoes. He wears a necklace of English letters hanging from his chest around his neck.
The light in the garage just now was a little dim, and I couldn't see clearly. Now that I can see clearly, Xia Chengyou is like a college student who has not yet graduated. It's like a two-dimensional teenager who has never been in love. has a childishness and innocence that are rare among his peers.
Xia Chengyou suddenly felt that Zhou Huaiyu might not want to come to this mixed and crowded snack street to eat. People are wearing high-quality shirts and trousers, does coming to this kind of stall lower his compulsion?
So his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he was about to turn around, but his heel was stepped on by Zhou Huaiyu, and then his back hit Zhou Huaiyu's chest. I felt Zhou Huaiyu's hard pectoral muscles. Immediately, the roots of his ears turned red again.
He hurriedly avoided it, turned to Zhou Huaiyu and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't notice that you were behind me." ”
Zhou Huaiyu glanced at his heels, and then looked at him: "I stepped on you, why are you apologizing to me." Does the heel hurt? ”
Xia Chengyou felt whether his chest muscles were hard or not just now, and he didn't notice whether his back heel hurt or not. Only then did I remember to feel my heel and say, "It doesn't hurt." ”
Actually, it still hurts a little. Zhou Huaiyu's leather toe is a little pointy.
Zhou Huaiyu: "Did you just want to say something?" ”
"Well, I mean to say that if you don't like eating here, I can take you to a more upscale restaurant." Xia Chengyou said.
Zhou Huaiyu: "No, it's here." ”
Since Xia Chengyou left Nancheng, no one has brought him to eat these snacks anymore.
In front of a stall selling "fat intestines and green onions", Xia Chengyou said, "Boss, come to two small portions." ”
Zhou Huaiyu's eyes paused slightly.
"Okay!" The boss roasted the fat intestine wrapped green onions until they were oily, sprinkled with cumin and chili noodles, and soon exuded a unique fragrance. After baking, cut it into knuckle-sized pieces, put them into two cartons and hand them to Xia Chengyou.
Xia Chengyou opened one of the boxes as he walked, put the toothpick in the bag on the green onion of the cut fat intestine bun and handed it to Zhou Huaiyu, saying, "It's fragrant and delicious." ”
Zhou Huaiyu took the box and hesitated for a few seconds, he hadn't eaten this, and felt that the combination of this food was very strange. But it smelled good, so he took a bite. Xia Chengyou just watched him eat with his big clear and clean eyes, as if he was looking forward to his comment "delicious".
"Okay." Zhou Huaiyu commented.
Xia Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief, opened his box and ate it in a few bites, and threw the carton into the trash. Turning his head, he saw that there were still a few pieces in Zhou Huaiyu's box that he hadn't eaten, but he wanted to throw them away.
"Wait," Xia Chengyou took the cardboard box, "don't waste it." ”
He ate the remaining pieces with the toothpick used by Zhou Huaiyu, and after eating, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly threw the carton into the trash. A little embarrassed, he raised his eyes to look at Zhou Huaiyu helplessly: "I'm sorry." ”
"What, I'm sorry?" Zhou Huaiyu asked.
Xia Chengyou was extremely embarrassed, he was used to eating Zhou Huaiyu's food before.
When he was in elementary school, Zhou Huaiyu's appetite was not good and he didn't eat school lunch, so his aunt didn't make a different lunch box every day for Zhou Huaiyu to bring to school to eat.
He had a good appetite when he was a child, and others called him a snack merchant. After eating the school's lunch, I will be hungry when I see Zhou Huaiyu's beautiful lunch. So every time Zhou Huaiyu didn't eat it, he was happy to help Zhou Huaiyu eat it.
He helped Zhou Huaiyu eat, and Zhou Huaiyu helped him with his homework. The two helped each other all the way to high school.
Even after eight years, when he sees that Zhou Huaiyu doesn't eat it, he will still subconsciously eat it.
He knew it was wrong, and he had no sense of proportion. Their relationship is not as good as before, they are just familiar strangers, and it is guessed that Zhou Huaiyu must have minded, so he quickly apologized.
"I shouldn't have eaten your food." Xia Chengyou whispered.
Zhou Huaiyu looked at him helplessly: "What should or shouldn't be, you can eat if you want, and don't eat if you don't want to eat." You don't need to say I'm sorry, we don't have to see each other like this. ”
The surrounding area is crowded with people and noisy. The sky was getting darker, and there were a few stars in the sky. The breeze carried the heat of a summer evening and blew through the two of them.
Xia Chengyou recalled the sentence "We don't have to see each other like this."
What is the meaning.
Could it be that Zhou Huaiyu forgave him for volunteering to leave Nancheng in the first place?
Yes, otherwise Zhou Huaiyu wouldn't have asked him out for dinner, doesn't this mean that he will get back together after breaking the ice.
Thinking about it like this, Xia Chengyou was in a much better mood, and was about to say, "You're right." ”
As a result, before he opened his mouth, Zhou Huaiyu said again: "Or do you not treat me as a friend?" ”
"Ah, it's not." Xia Chengyou looked at him stunned, and found that Zhou Huaiyu's eyes darkened, deep and complex, mixed with some vague anger.
Zhou Huaiyu's voice was a little colder: "From six to eighteen years old, they grew up together. I thought we were best friends. At the beginning, I made an appointment to go to the local school in Nancheng together, you go to the Academy of Fine Arts, and I go to the Polytechnic. But you hid it from me and changed your mind and went to Jiangcheng. To this day, I can't figure out why you changed your mind. Where is the Academy of Fine Arts in Nancheng worse than Jiangcheng? Or is it my problem? ”
Xia Chengyou's heart sank to the bottom.
Zhou Huaiyu's eyes lit up with a hint of self-deprecation: "It's me who unilaterally cares about our friendship, but you feel dispensable." So you can go if you want, regardless of my feelings. Is it because you don't really see me as a friend? ”
"It's not ......," Xia Chengyou felt extremely uncomfortable. He just cared too much about this friendship, more than Zhou Huaiyu, so he changed his will. is afraid that if he continues to stay with Zhou Huaiyu, his dirty thoughts will not be hidden, and this friendship will be ruined.
He hopes that the relationship between him and Zhou Huaiyu will always stay the same as when he was young - clean, pure, sincere, and pure.
Instead of mixed with undeserved dirty thoughts, ruining their pure friendship for so many years.
Zhou Huaiyu is a person with a spiritual cleanliness habit, once he knows the truth, he will definitely hate him.
He would rather Zhou Huaiyu never forgive him, or that Zhou Huaiyu hate him.
"What's that?" Zhou Huaiyu looked at him fixedly, and he had to say why.
Xia Chengyou: "I'm just ...... I just love Jiangcheng. I want to come to Jiangcheng to live. ”
Zhou Huaiyu frowned, as if he didn't quite believe this reason. He also said: "Then you can tell me, not only will I not stop you, but I will also come to Jiangcheng with you to study at university." Why are you hiding it from me? ”
Xia Chengyou was forced by him to surrender. He knew that Zhou Huaiyu was very angry and was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Let's not talk about it, okay." Xia Chengyou pleaded.
Zhou Huaiyu took a deep breath, and after a long time, he said: "In the past eight years, I have never forgiven you. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Xia Chengyou lowered his head.
Zhou Huaiyu: "What's the use of saying I'm sorry. If you really want me to forgive you, go back to Nancheng. ”
Xia Chengyou stiffened. He looked up at Zhou Huaiyu suddenly, his eyes full of consternation.
Zhou Huaiyu's mood returned to calm, his eyes fell lightly on Xia Chengyou's face, took out a business card and stuffed it into the pocket of the other party's shirt, and wrote lightly: "Submit your resume to our company." ”
"Huh?" Xia Chengyou's mind was in a mess.
Zhou Huaiyu: "I'll recruit you." ”
"You ......" Xia Chengyou didn't react.
Zhou Huaiyu looked down at his watch: "I have a party at nine o'clock tonight, so I'm leaving." With that, he turned around and put his pockets in his pockets, and walked out of here on his long legs.
Xia Chengyou asked in the back: "Are you HR?" ”
It may be that the surroundings are too noisy, and Zhou Huaiyu didn't hear or answer.
Xia Chengyou took out the business card in his pocket and looked at it-
Youyu Network Technology Co., Ltd.;
Huaiyu Zhou, CEO
