Burn

On weekends, Xiao Huan helps Xingmo, mainly responsible for making coffee.He uses the siphon jug very well and makes professional quality coffee.

The newly opened Xingmo has a lot of customers. It is an eight-year-old shop with a good reputation. Old customers join in, and new customers come here especially.The store was severely understaffed, and Xiao Huan never stopped from morning to night.

The other two shop assistants and Tian Yuan Xiao Yimo were also exhausted.

After eight o'clock, the talent gradually decreased.Tianyuan leaned on the refrigerator behind the bar and asked Xiao Huan: "Dongyao said that a classmate of yours is going to change jobs recently. He used to deliver food. He said that the job was dangerous and hard work in the wind and rain. Would you like to ask?" Ask him, Xingmo is seriously short of people right now!"

Xiao Huan didn't expect Li Dongyao to tell Tian Yuan about Xu Ran.

"Let me ask."

"Well, if he wants to, let him come to the store to have a look first, not only we choose him, but he also has to choose us. We can only work together if we get along well." Tian Yuan said.Both of Xingmo's current clerks have been there for more than three years, and they get along very well.

"Okay." Xiao Huan judged from Tian Yuan's expression that Li Dongyao probably didn't say much to him.Ask Xu Ran to wake up and work silently?He was lost in thought.

At the Xingyun morning meeting on Monday, the project team proposed several new investment plans, and Xiao Huan saw Tan Hao's name in the plan.

Tan Hao from the classmate meeting told him about his project that day, and he did some research afterwards.

"Who recommended this project?" Xiao Huan asked the person in charge of the project team.

"I met at the Entrepreneurs Conference organized by the municipal government a while ago. This Qin Hao has a lot of ideas. The assessment results of the risk group have also come out, and he has investment potential."

"Don't you know that Baeksang Group is planning to do similar projects?" Xiao Huan asked lightly.

The two heads of the project team and the risk team changed their expressions at the same time: "This, this, we haven't heard the news yet."

Xiao Huan put down the plan: "Let's have a look again."

In the afternoon, Xiao Huan received a call from Tan Hao: "Are you free tonight? Shall we have dinner together?"

"No time." Xiao Huan refused flatly.

"Then when you are free, the old classmates will gather alone, and the class monitor will come." Tan Hao expressed his anticipation.

"I'm not free these days." Xiao Huan never said anything out of the ordinary.

Tan Hao was overwhelmed by his directness, so he left an awkward sentence, "Then make an appointment when you are free", and hung up the phone first.

Xiao Huan sneered and threw away the phone, replaying the scene of the classmate reunion that day in his mind again. He hated people like Tan Hao. When he was studying, he loved to take advantage of petty gains.Once in power, he is unforgiving everywhere.Only people like Xu Ran will be bullied by people like him.Thinking of Xu Ran, he began to feel uncomfortable again.In the morning, Tian Yuan asked him what your classmate said on WeChat.He didn't reply.He could find Xu Ran, but so what if he tried his best to find it?

Xiao Huan doesn't like the feeling of being emotionally affected by a person, he is very out of control.

Near noon, the assistant knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Xiao, we order takeaway at noon, do you want to come together?"

Xiao Huan was looking at the financial statement and asked without raising his head, "Is Meituan still hungry?"

The assistant was stunned: "Hey——"

Xiao Huan looked up at her, only then realized what he asked.

"I'm just like you."

"Are you hungry?" The assistant responded after realizing it: "Mr. Li asked everyone in the company to order takeaway a while ago, so he can only be called hungry."

Xiao Huan buried his head and continued to read the report.

"Mr. Xiao, do you want to be called Meituan?" the assistant asked.

"Just do what Mr. Li says." Xiao Huan replied coldly.

The assistant exited Xiao Huan's office, recalling the conversation just now while ordering food, which was a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

In the office, Xiao Huan closed the computer, walked to the French windows, and looked at the busy traffic downstairs, as if his eyes were always involuntarily attracted by the delivery people walking through the traffic. He felt that he was really possessed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Golden Week of November. One week before the arrival of the Golden Week, Li Dongyao and a well-known male artist made a sensational entertainment news-a famous male artist night party executive gay.His family background, which has always been low-key, has been exposed by human flesh, which has had a little impact on the stock price of the family business.Afterwards, he was temporarily recalled to the United States by his family.

Before leaving, he complained miserably to Xiao Huan: "This time I was really fucking wronged. I wanted to do something good, but it turned out to be a joke."

He just met a drunk male artist on the road, so he kindly took him to the hotel, did nothing, and was photographed by gossip reporters.Forget it, the male artist got into a fight with him angrily after he woke up. It turned out that he had an assistant who went to buy water for him, but he lost his way when he came back, which made him look like he was drunk alone. roadside.

Xiao Huan didn't sympathize with him, he always liked to meddle in other people's business.

"I hope you will have a longer memory in the future, and don't be a good person indiscriminately." Xiao Huan said when seeing him off on the plane.

However, Li Dongyao obviously didn't take his words to heart, and gave him a business card before entering the security check: "The private investigator recommended by a friend is a full-time searcher. There is no one they can't find. You can ask them to help you find someone." burn!"

Xiao Huan didn't answer, Li Dongyao forced it to him.After changing hands, he threw it in the trash can.The phone number on it was clearly seen. He was sensitive to numbers since he was a child, and he has an unforgettable memory.

In the first few days of Golden Week, Xiao Huan was silently helping.Two students were hired to work part-time in the store, but regular employees have not been found, and Tian Yuan, who came to interview, did not take a fancy to it.

"Is that classmate of yours still coming?" Tian Yuan asked Xiao Huan when he thought about it when he was busy.

"His contract with his former company has not yet expired." Xiao Huan lied.

"Then let him take a look when he's free, and then talk about it when it's suitable." Tian Yuan said.

"Hmm." Xiao Huan stared at the flame of the alcohol lamp of the siphon pot, and answered vaguely.It has been more than half a month since Xu Ran disappeared, and the sense of loss of control is slowly disappearing. He has been able to control himself not to pay attention to those delivery people.The number of the missing person detective agency is in his mind, and he has decided not to call.But he still lied to Tian Yuan just now, he can obviously say that he won't come.

On the last day of Golden Week, a regular customer ordered [-] catties of coffee beans in the store, Tian Yuan asked Xiao Huan to deliver the goods, and made a simple visit by the way.The delivery address was in Jiangning University Town, and Xiao Huan set off in the afternoon. After the delivery, he chatted in the old inn until evening. The old customer asked him to eat, but he declined.When he was driving back, he was afraid of traffic jams and took the detour recommended by the navigation. Halfway there, he found that he was very close to Xu Ran's old community, so he turned into the community in a flash of his brain.When the car arrived at No. [-] downstairs, he found that there was a light in Xu Ran's room.

His whole body was full of blood, and his heart was beating fast.Xiao Huan rarely did this. He hesitated in the car for a while, and finally got out of the car and went upstairs after calming down.When he knocked on the door, his hand trembled with excitement.

When the door opened from the inside, Xiao Huan held his breath and deliberately looked away.He has to be prepared to be asked "who are you looking for".

But after the door was opened, the people inside did not speak.Xiao Huan turned around and saw a surprised Xu Ran standing at the door holding his chopsticks.

"You—" Xiao Huan just said.Xu Ran was about to close the door, Xiao Huan took half a step forward, his hands and feet were caught in the door, he glared at Xu Ran: "Open the door!"

Xu Ran gave up resisting and opened the door to let him in.

Xiao Huanhan went in with a cold face. There was half a bowl of noodles and a half bottle of Laoganma on the table. He was eating.He sat down on the sofa, trying to suppress the anger in his chest.He deeply understood that the fire was not because of Xu Ran, but because of himself.While Xu Ran was running away from him, he was also running away from Xu Ran, this is a fact.

Xu Ran sat back at the table and continued eating noodles.For more than half a month, he thought he had calmed down, but after seeing Xiao Huan at the door, he realized that everything was deceiving himself.He couldn't let Xiao Huan go, and he couldn't forget that kiss.

"Where have you been? I've looked for you, but you're not here. Your neighbor said you moved away." Xiao Huan calmed down, but his face was still grim.

Xu Ran had finished eating the noodles, he carried the bowl into the kitchen and didn't answer his question.He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would reveal his truest self at this time, and he was so weak that he couldn't forget his own self.

"Li Dongyao said you resigned." Xiao Huan followed and stood at the door of the kitchen.Xu Ran stood by the sink washing dishes with his back to him, the water was running loudly.

"Why did you resign?"

The light in the living room is brighter than that in the kitchen, Xiao Huan's shadow presses over in the direction of the light in the living room, Xu Ran's whole body is shrouded in shadow.

"I don't want to do it anymore." Xu Ran replied sullenly.

"Why don't you want to do it anymore?" Xiao Huan asked.

"You, don't ask any more questions, okay? I don't want to say it." Xu Ran dared to speak like that only when his back was turned to him.

"Where do you work now?" Xiao Huan changed the question and continued to ask.

Xu Ran put the washed dishes aside, and slowly turned to look directly at Xiao Huan: "What do you want to do, Xiao Huan, what do you want to do?"

He had had enough, he couldn't afford and couldn't let go of himself.

Xiao Huan looked at him and stepped into the kitchen. There was still half a meter between them.

Xu Ran lost most of the courage he had accumulated with great difficulty.He looked at Xiao Huan who was half a meter away and pleaded softly: "What on earth do you want to do, Xiao Huan, please don't do this..."

In the next second, Xiao Huan lifted his chin, and quickly took off his glasses, without giving him a chance to react, a somewhat rude kiss was printed on him.The mouth was pinched open, the lips were bitten painfully, and the tongue could not avoid it at all.

When Xu Ran was almost suffocated by the kiss, Xiao Huan let him go.

"Don't eat old godmothers in the future!" Xiao Huan pinched his mouth and said dissatisfied.

Xu Ran's eyes filled with tears, Xiao Huan in front of him could not see his facial features clearly.Before his tears fell, Xiao Huan covered his eyes.

"I found you a job in my store. No matter where you are now, you are not allowed to do it. You go to Xingmo to work."

When Xu Ran heard Xiao Huan's voice, he was as cold as ever, unable to hear any emotion.He closed his eyes, tears wet Xiao Huan's palm.
