Reserve the sun

To the surprise of the British people, Yuzhou did not have a large number of staff on this trip, but their efficiency was extremely high. Many ideas were often put forward in the discussions and meetings in the morning, and they would receive an updated copy in the afternoon. Analyze reports for detailed descriptions.Maybe there are not many words and the weight is not heavy, but the quality and quantity are absolutely guaranteed, and what is written on it is the key.Such a correct working attitude and unbelievable speed made Yuzhou's reputation resound throughout Donald's headquarters.For a while, Ji Yu, the gentle and elegant president of Yuzhou with oriental charm, was also highly sought after, and he would receive countless glances and greetings when he entered and exited the building.

Seeing that Ji Yu's ability was recognized, Jiang Liu was of course satisfied, but when he found that Donald's employees were discussing Ji Yu's name after dinner, he still felt panicked.

Today is another meeting to discuss activities. Over the past few days, Donald has fully adapted to Yu Zhou's work style. After eliminating unnecessary steps, their rhythm went more smoothly.What used to take an entire morning to adjudicate now takes less than two hours.After confirming the work content for the afternoon, the participants all started to collect their materials and notes and lined up to go outside the meeting room.Ji Yu and Jiang Liu, who were sitting in the deepest part of the conference room, and the heads of other departments were mostly not in a hurry to leave. A short rest and relaxation was very necessary for leaders like them.After all, no one wants to plunge into the irritating daily chores immediately after a few hours of mind-sapping meetings.

The assistants replaced their boss with fresh coffee or black tea in a timely manner, and the meeting room suddenly broke away from the serious atmosphere, as if it had become an afternoon tea time in some coffee shop.

"Ji, even though we've been working together for a while, I still can't believe your terrible work efficiency. Don't you feel tired?" Jin, the deputy director of the investment department, is a lady-like beauty with chestnut curly hair. She is about 35 years old, but she is well-maintained, charming and graceful, and she is a queen among Donald's employees.

"It's not a particularly good feeling to be called scary by a charming woman like you, Jin, I still prefer you to praise me." Ji Yu didn't reject such a relaxed chat, he didn't reject everyone The attitude of not being intimate, the premise is that the other party is someone he thinks is worthy of association.The top executives like Donald have outstanding knowledge and ability. Since the other party expressed goodwill, there is no need for him to put on an aloof posture.

Jin laughed and raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, "Are all of you Chinese with honey on your lips like you? Ji, I can be happy all day to hear you say that I am charming!"

"I'm seeking truth from facts. Donald's employees will agree with my point of view, don't you think so?" Ji Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the other people sitting at the table with a half-smile.

Many men smiled and nodded, and Andre from the Propaganda Department said, "Of course, Jin is Donald's goddess of victory!"

Ji Yu picked up his cup to drink tea, smiled and calmed down.

The topics among colleagues are the same as those between women, and they can never finish talking. Ji Yu heard them chatting about everything from the weather to politics, news to what brands are on sale recently, and daily trivial matters to the relationship between men and women.Suddenly, Jin looked over to Ji Yu curiously, "Ji, do you have a girlfriend?"

Ji Yu shook his head, "No."

"What about the boyfriend?" Jin's expression darkened for a moment, then lit up again.

Hearing this, Ji Yu was a little taken aback, does he seem gay? "No, I think I'm straight."

Andre seemed to be ignited by the topic just now, "Many people like you should like you, but there is no love like this, Ji, you are amazing!"

Ji Yu smiled wryly and said, "Why do you all think so? I'm too busy at work and don't have time to think about it. Many of my girlfriends broke up with me because I didn't have enough company. Jin, you are also a woman, you must understand, right?"

"Oh, of course women need company, otherwise how can you fall in love! Ji, your life will be boring without love." Jin said in the tone of someone who has experienced it, "You should rest more time, work is just a part of life .”

"Unfortunately, I'm not very good at falling in love, and I don't think it's necessary." Ji Yu shrugged, somewhat disapproving.

Jin glanced at Ji Yu, "Ji, that means you haven't had time to meet your real other half. Believe me, after meeting true love, you will believe that love is the true meaning of life. However, maybe you really need a more able Take care of your object."

Smiling, Ji Yu was noncommittal about this question.

Sitting on the side, Jiang Liu suddenly recalled his grandfather's saying that there is no right or wrong about feelings. He suddenly wanted to tell Ji Yu that if he wanted to, he would do his best to take care of him for the rest of his life.He wants to be there for him until he gets bored.But, does he really have the qualifications?

After all, it was only a short break, and the behavior of not doing serious things during working hours would inevitably be gossiped by others, and the rest of the high-level executives also left the meeting room one after another after chatting.Ji Yu's main contact person is still Jiang Liu's art investment department, so their office areas are naturally grouped together.To put it bluntly, this matter was actually an order issued by Jiang Liu himself.

The two of them didn't stay idle while walking, "Jiang Liu, do you also think what Jin just said is right? I should find someone to take care of me?"

Jiang Liu looked at Ji Yu sideways, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, he thought for a while, "I have no experience, but no matter what kind of care you take, you are worth it."

Ji Yu didn't expect Jiang Liu to answer so seriously, he was just curious, because Wei Qiu also said something similar to Jin.He wondered what kind of impression he had given them that would lead them to such a conclusion.But Jiang Liu's answer was too unconventional. He turned his angle of view slightly, and Jiang Liu's suffocatingly handsome face was close at hand.He lowered his head in a panic, not looking into Jiang Liu's eyes, the roots of his ears were hot and red.

Ji Yu's sudden situation naturally cannot escape Jiang Liu's eyes, they are so close that even the trembling of eyelashes can be seen clearly.Looking at Ji Yu's pink earlobes, Jiang Liu was pleasantly surprised, as if her dedication had been recognized.His eyes were astonishingly bright, wishing to immediately release all the feelings he had suppressed for a long time.

"Jiang Liu, I'm glad you can say that. But I always feel something is wrong, as if I know a song called, 爱されるより爱したい, it's better to love than to be loved. Wei Qiu also said, I can only Being taken care of, but, am I abnormal if I don’t know how to give?” Ji Yu came back to his senses and poured out all his thoughts to Jiang Liu, he has been accepting everyone’s love and kindness to him since he was a child , paid but not enough to balance the balance of payments.Perhaps this lack of capacity to love may be called a disease.

Ji Yu's eyes are distant and confused, he really thinks his current situation is abnormal.Jiang Liu let go of her clenched fist, and lightly stroked Ji Yu's cheeks, making him raise his head to look at her. "Ji Yu, there is some love that you give without knowing it. Otherwise, why do you think that Wei Qiu will give you heart and soul without getting anything? And why do you think that the people around you will be with you? Talking and laughing? You paid, but you didn't know it."

"Wei Qiu, it's because I saved his life..." Ji Yu murmured.

"As long as it is a favor, there will be a day when it will be repaid. Do you think he has not done enough?" Jiang Liu asked him back.

Ji Yu shook his head, Wei Qiu didn't do enough, but did too much. "It should be over."

"Even the creditor thinks it's enough. Don't the debtors have this self-consciousness? Ji Yu, whether it's Wei Qiu or others, everyone will follow you because you have given. You are not only loved, you are loved It's because you have given love." Jiang Liu paused, and his voice became very soft, "Maybe it's because you have too much love that you feel that you have given too little, but you think that there is only a little bit of it. The kindness and love of a person is enough to light up a person's life sometimes."

Jiang Liu's voice passed through Ji Yu's skin and blood vessels and pierced straight into his heart. It was obviously the kind of sentence that would make people feel sour and false when written in a book, but when it came out of his mouth, it suddenly felt extremely strong. persuasive.Ji Yu smiled, "Jiang Liu, no one has ever commented on me like that. However, I am very happy."

Letting go of Ji Yu's head, Jiang Liu hid her fingers behind her back, bent and tightened them. "Don't worry, it's a good thing that someone is willing to treat you well."

"Well, I believe what you say."

The two broke up at the corner, and Ji Yu's figure quickly disappeared behind the office door, and he felt an extremely tight feeling in his heart.Every uneasiness is a wrinkle, every suspicion is a mess, but at this moment, the emotions and confusion that he unconsciously hid in his daily life suddenly found an outlet to vent. The chaos in the mind was suddenly taken care of tightly.

Since he was a child, he knew that there are some things that are not good to tell his parents. No matter how mature and stable his thoughts are, he will always be a child in the eyes of his parents. Speaking of those things will either make them worry or make them blame yourself.For example, he feels that he is cold by nature and does not know how to take care of others.Even after meeting Wei Qiu, he still has many things he can't say, because Wei Qiu cares more about him than his parents.Making Wei Qiu feel that his elder brother is disqualified is simply easier than eating and sleeping.Ji Yu thought he couldn't reverse his insistence, but at least he wanted to give Wei Qiu time to think more about himself.

Jiang Liu's closeness was a surprise to Ji Yu.He didn't even know what made him fall into the eyes of this proud man of heaven. He clearly remembered the first meeting between the two, which was very ordinary and nothing special, just like every meeting with a client.However, after he left China, Jiang Liu became enthusiastic.Perhaps, none of them can be counted as enthusiasm, but familiarity because of apology.

But it was such a blunder and muddle-headedness that the two of them seemed to suddenly become extremely close friends.He knew about Jiang Liu's hyperamnesia, knew that Jiang Liu was not born in the same family, and knew that Jiang Liu had never confessed.Every time I have a difficult mood to solve, it seems that Jiang Liu can be easily resolved.Jiang Liu seems to have become a part of life, no matter whether he meets or communicates with each other.

This feeling is very magical, like Boya meeting Zhong Ziqi.

Ji Yu suddenly hoped that he could meet a woman like Jiang Liu, who was more intimate than raising eyebrows, and would be in love with each other.

Time passed too fast, and it was the day before Christmas Eve in a blink of an eye. When almost the whole of Britain was immersed in the happiness of family reunion on statutory holidays, there was still a floor of Donald's building with lights on.For tomorrow's grand celebration, Ji Yu and Jiang Liu are making final adjustments and improvements.

The two of them were sitting in the same office, and the sound of mouse scrolling and keyboard typing continued one after another.Although they could see each other as soon as they looked up, their eyes were locked by something on the computer screen.They are clearly in the same room, but it feels like they are in two time and space.

"Aren't you going home yet?" Jin knocked on the office door and stuck out his head.

Looking at the coat on her arm and the scarf around her neck, Ji Yu smiled, "Are you ready to leave?"

Jin nodded, "Of course, I have a family too!"

Jiang Liu stopped typing, glanced at the time displayed on the computer, "Sorry, I didn't know it was almost 23 o'clock, you guys go back quickly."

"Well, I won't accompany you two workaholics, please~" With Jiang Liu's approval, Jin ran as fast as he was walking on high heels.

Ji Yu looked at the shadow that was getting smaller and smaller outside the glass, picked up the glass and said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, look at how Jin looks like, as if he is afraid that you will chase her back! It seems that you are indeed a vicious capitalist who exploits people's flesh and blood. "

"I work longer hours than her, so I'm the one being exploited." Jiang Liu buttoned up the computer, "Okay, let's get it done, I have a little left over here, and it can be done in half an hour. After it's done, capitalists please eat Night snack."

"Since you've sincerely invited me, I certainly won't lose face to you! It's done, we'll leave in half an hour!"

Half an hour later, Ji Yu followed Jiang Liu into the car and was taken to a road that he had some vague impressions in his mind.He looked out the window with some doubts, not sure if his sense of direction and memory were accurate.

Confused, he followed Jiang Liu out of the car, and when he stood at the gate of Jiang Liu's house, Ji Yu dared to confirm that the road just now was really the one leading to Jiang Liu's house.He has come here twice by car, no wonder there are some impressions in his mind.

"I saw that the shops outside are closed, is there still takeaway at this spot?" After entering the room, Ji Yu finally found an opportunity to ask.

Before Jiang Liu could take off her coat, she changed her shoes and went to the kitchen, "There's no takeaway, I'll make it."

Ji Yu thought he heard it wrong, and stared at Jiang Liu without blinking, "Ah? You do?"

He took out some fresh vegetables from the refrigerator, opened the cupboard and took out a bag of pasta. Jiang Liu took out a pot and boiled water before coming out of the kitchen. "Why, look down on my craftsmanship?"

Looking at the glowing fire in the kitchen and at the meticulously dressed domineering president in front of him, Ji Yu's mind was full of the phrase "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen", no matter what, he couldn't connect Jiang Liu with the act of cooking. .

"You actually know how to cook?"

"Do I look like I can't cook?" Jiang Liu said in a way of letting nature take its course, as if he should be born to be able to cook.

Nodding heavily, Ji Yu's voice was a little excited. "It's not just like you can't cook, you can almost be selected as one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the world! Dear Mr. Jiang, you are the young master of the Donald family. You can cook when you stretch out your hands to eat and open your mouth? Maybe?" Is it?"

"But you are also a pampered person, I remember you can also cook." Jiang Liu felt that what Ji Yu said had nothing to do with whether he could cook or not.

Ji Yu covered his face, "I only know how to make hot pot... as long as there are seasoning packets..."

Jiang Liu laughed, and his voice vibrated from his chest, "It turns out that it is like this. It seems that you are a 'true young master'. How do you say that sentence? You don't know the four bodies and the five grains?"

Ji Yu, who was already embarrassed at first, was almost so entangled with embarrassment that he couldn't bear it. In desperation, he could only get out of the predicament by yelling loudly. "I'm hungry! You promised to treat me to supper! Hurry up and do it!"

"Okay, young master, wait a moment, let's go." Jiang Liu hung the clothes he had taken off on the rack, reached out to turn on the heater, and then went to the kitchen, leaving Ji Yu alone in the living room to calm himself down.

Anyone who has cooked spaghetti knows that spaghetti is much more difficult to cook than ordinary Chinese dry noodles. After only 5 minutes, Ji Yu couldn't sit still.He paced towards the kitchen, wanting to see what Jiang Liu was like cooking. If he was not skilled, he could still take the opportunity to laugh a few words to regain his place.

Although Jiang Liu's small apartment is not very big, the kitchen still adopts the open kitchen commonly used by Europeans. The wooden cabinet doors and all stainless steel countertops make the kitchen both humane and easy to take care of. Good feeling design.As soon as he got closer, Ji Yu heard the very light sound of the blade touching the chopping board, very rhythmic, and sounded like a familiar hand.He leaned forward and looked forward, and as expected, he saw Jiang Liu's onions that had been sliced ​​into a bunch of thin slices.

After processing half an onion, Jiang Liu turned his head and saw Ji Yu looking at him in surprise. "What's the matter, are you thirsty and want to drink water?"

Ji Yu pointed at the onion, "Did you really cut it?"

"Didn't you see it?" Jiang Liu turned around and took out a carrot, put it on the chopping board and prepared to cut it. "If you want to drink water, pour it yourself, my hands are dirty."

Ji Yu leaned over, picked up a piece of onion and looked at the light, thinking that if the light was brighter, he should be able to see the other side through it. "You are a professional knife maker!" He poked lightly with the index finger of the other hand, and the onion slices instantly disintegrated into onion rings, which fell all over the ground.

Looking at the largest circle in his hand, Ji Yu embarrassedly put the remaining onion back to its original place, and smiled, "I'm sorry...I'll help you pick it up." Then he bent down and squatted aside to pick up the onion in the ground .

Looking at Ji Yu's dark hair, Jiang Liu sighed softly, "It seems that you really don't know how to cook, it's not about being humble."

Ji Yu, who finally picked up the onion, forgot that his hand had just touched the onion when he heard Jiang Liu's words, and covered his eyes.Hearing an ouch, Ji Yu's eyes burst into tears from the onion.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Liu heard the voice, quickly put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and helped the person on the ground up.

This was unbearable, Ji Yu's eyes were tearful, and the surroundings were red, as if he had been wronged so much.Jiang Liu was so frightened that she was at a loss, "What's the matter, where is the injury? Where is your pain, do you want to go to the hospital?"

The so-called concern is chaos, Jiang Liu completely forgot about the onion clutched in Ji Yu's hand, wishing to give him a full body check with his eyes.

"It's okay, the onions are making your eyes hot." Ji Yu quickly explained when he saw that he had frightened Jiang Liu enough.

Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment, and his heart sank instantly. He took the things in Ji Yu's hands without saying a word, turned around and threw them into the trash can, washed his hands and picked up the kitchen knife to cut carrots.

Seeing people ignoring him, Ji Yu felt flustered and could only stand aside, not knowing whether to speak or not.He was afraid that he would cause Jiang Liu trouble again, so he took a step back carefully, watching Jiang Liu cook in silence.

Jiang Liu's movements were very skillful, and he quickly cut all the side dishes without his interruption.Then, he turned around and took out another pan, sprinkled olive oil on it, threw the side dishes into the pan and stir-fried them, and after a while, bursts of aroma came out of it.Holding the pot in one hand, Jiang Liu poured the processed seafood from another plate into the pot, stir-fried it twice, then covered it and stewed it.Glancing at the big pot where the noodles were cooked, Jiang Liu took a noodle out of the pot and sucked it into his mouth. The action was just like the French chef seen on TV.Watching it made Ji Yu feel palpitations, and he suddenly understood why the female colleagues in the company used to say that men are the sexiest when cooking.

Feeling that the noodles were almost done, Jiang Liu took out the spaghetti and put it into the frying pan. As soon as the lid was opened, the shrimp and crabs turned red. It was obvious that they were cooked just right, and it made people move their index fingers.Ji Yu couldn't help but wanted to go over to have a look, but he was afraid that something bad happened to him, so he could only swallow his mouth with his mouth pursed.

Jiang Liu took the tongs and stir-fried in the pot for a while. Seeing that the spaghetti was completely covered with seafood sauce, she bent down and took out two clean plates to fill the spaghetti out of the pot.Holding two full plates, Jiang Liu looked down at Ji Yu, "Aren't you hungry just now, go to the restaurant to eat."

This time Ji Yu moved very quickly, almost trotting all the way, sitting in front of the dining table is called a straight.

Seeing the seafood spaghetti in front of him, which can be called delicious in color, fragrance, Ji Yu's eyes almost lit up.He looked at the plate, then at Jiang Liu, not daring to move the fork for a long time.

"Why don't you eat?" Jiang Liu felt strange.

"Don't be angry, it was my fault just now, I made trouble for you. I'm sorry." Ji Yu has always been a good boy who will admit his mistakes.

Jiang Liu looked at Ji Yu, he was not angry that Ji Yu spilled the onion, he was looking at his eyes with pain.After all, he is just a friend. If he preaches rashly, Jiang Liu is afraid that Ji Yu will feel that he is meddling in his own business, so he can only choose to remain silent due to his rights. "Be careful next time, if you get the onion in your eyes, you will be the one who suffers. Eat it first, it will smell fishy when it cools."

"Okay!" Ji Yu saw that Jiang Liu no longer had a straight face, and agreed resoundingly.Immediately picked up the fork and started to eat, just took a bite and was amazed. "Jiang Liu, you are indeed a genius! Even cooking is so delicious!"

Hearing Ji Yu's praise, Jiang Liu smiled slightly, "Eat more if you like it, if it's not enough, I'll make it for you."

"Enough is enough, such a big bowl!" Ji Yu waved his hands again and again, "Whoever marries you in the future will really make a fortune, this one can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, he is simply a good husband of 24 filial piety in the new era!"

"I'm so good?" Jiang Liu pretended to ask casually as he twirled the fork in his hand to pick up a ball of spaghetti.

Swallowing what was in his mouth, Ji Yu cleared his throat with a drink of water. "Isn't that good? Jiang Liu, your understanding of yourself is too shallow! If I were a woman, I would marry you right away!"

Jiang Liu put down the fork in her hand, and said leisurely, "You can marry me even if you are not a woman."

Cough cough cough... Ji Yu choked on the water he just drank.He looked at Jiang Liu, and was about to blame him for choking on water, but the serious and forbearing expression of the person opposite made his blame rot in his stomach, and he couldn't utter a word.

When Jiang Liu said that sentence just now, her tone didn't seem to be joking...

"Don't think about it, I mean, same-sex marriage is legal now." Jiang Liu lowered his head, feeling that the delicious dishes just now had become dull.Ji Yu is so smart, and his own words are so obvious to cover up, he will gradually alienate himself.

If it had been any other person, Ji Yu would have felt that the words just now were coming out and confessing in disguise, but since the other party was Jiang Liu, he was a little uncertain.So in the second half of the supper, the two of them were relatively silent, and only a slight sound in the room could prove their existence.

After supper, Jiang Liu sent Ji Yu back to the hotel to rest. He was already busy until late, and tomorrow was the last day of preparations. He still needed to assign tasks, so he didn't have the energy to go to work without rest.Ji Yu originally wanted to reject Jiang Liu's suggestion to drive him off, but it was already late at night outside, taxis were available but difficult to take, and besides, Jiang Liu was worried about Ji Yu alone.So even though I tried to evade it, I couldn't succeed in the end.

The night in London is quiet and serene. The lights of the street lamps are blocked by the year-by-year street trees, leaving only dots and dots. Although the shops on the roadside are closed, the Christmas trees and neon lights have been decorated.The headlights swept far away, and the decorations on it reflected colorful luster, making people feel warm and happy.Ji Yu never knew that the night of Christmas Eve was such a feeling, with a touch of happiness.

The car stopped at the entrance of the hotel smoothly, Jiang Liu turned to watch Ji Yu unbuckle his seat belt, then opened the door and got out of the car.His eyes flickered, looking at Ji Yu's back for a long time, he refused to let go, and felt that this moment was the end of their relationship.

But Ji Yu didn't leave like he imagined, he turned to look at Jiang Liu after getting out of the car, "Wait, don't leave yet."

Jiang Liu didn't know why, but watched Ji Yu leave in a hurry, but obediently stopped where he was, waiting for him to give him a follow-up answer.

Although only 2 minutes had passed, Jiang Liu felt that 2000 years had passed.He looked at the place where Ji Yu disappeared, and he hardly dared to blink, for fear that if he blinked, the person walking towards him holding something would disappear.

Jiang Liu quickly loosened his seat belt, and got out of the car as fast as he could to meet him.He could clearly see the sweat dripping from Ji Yu's hasty walk, but Ji Yu didn't avoid him, he came back with something.

"This is for you, take it!" What Ji Yusai gave him was a bright red, huge, apple.

Jiang Liu looked at Apple blankly, a little puzzled, "Are you giving me Apple and making me wait?"

"Christmas Eve! Look, the time has passed 24:00, so it's already Christmas Eve!" Ji Yu pointed to his watch, the time on it was already 56:[-], and it was indeed Christmas Eve.

Without hesitation, Jiang Liu opened his arms and gave Ji Yu a hug. "Thank you Ji Yu, I haven't received an apple on Christmas Eve for a long time."

Ji Yu was also stunned. He remembered that giving apples on Christmas Eve was actually a custom invented by the Chinese themselves. In the UK, they did not have such a custom.But Jiang Liu's words were clearly accepted before. "Who gave you apples before?"

Jiang Liu let go of Ji Yu, looked at him and said, "My mother, my mother used to pack an apple for me and my father."

Yes, Jiang Liu's mother is a Chinese.

"Ji Yu, thank you."

Ji Yu is always like this, casual actions can fill his whole heart.Jiang Liu felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to let go.
