Tentative

There are two more days left for the league to end, and these days are the highlight. The booking of Tartary Buckwheat Coffee has been well received. In addition to the group of students who love this game, some people have specifically asked Qu Zhe about the booking.It's a pity that there are only so many places, and he has no way to conjure up more tables and chairs, so he can only decline.

After nine o'clock in the evening, Qu Zhe was busy refilling the cups of the students in the store. The small coffee shop was extremely lively. The boys were watching the game, and the hot water was boiling, and they cheered for certain moments along with the voice of the commentary.It's a pity that Qu Zhe didn't quite understand, so he could only stand at the bar with a gentle smile on his face.

Not many girls play this type of game, and even fewer girls are interested in the game.Today the leading boy brought three girls over to watch together, but Qu Zhe could still tell from their faces that they were not interested. It's boring.

Just as he was thinking, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and inadvertently saw someone coming outside again.

Ordinarily, there is already a sign for private use outside, so if you want to come again, you will probably be with this group of students.He looked outside, the light outside was very dark, he couldn't tell whether the person coming was a man or a woman, he could only see two people, one in front and one behind.

The leading boy seemed to have seen it too, and suddenly stood up and walked towards the glass door: "Shen Yizhuo!"

The three bored girls were immediately brought back to their senses by this name, their expressions instantly filled with anticipation, and they all turned their heads to look at the door.

But this name has another meaning to Qu Zhe.His first reaction was why Shen Yizhuo came here, and his second reaction was - how should he face this encounter, whether Shen Yizhuo would like them to pretend they didn't know each other, or would he be willing to tell others about their acquaintance.

He watched nervously as Shen Yizhuo's face was gradually illuminated by the light from the glass door. Immediately, the people behind him became clearer and clearer.

It was a girl.

The girl was looking down at her mobile phone and followed behind Shen Yizhuo.

Even so, Qu Zhe could still recognize this very familiar face immediately.Even though she was wearing makeup, with dark eyeshadow on her eyelids and dark red lipstick on her lips, and her makeup looked exaggerated, he still recognized her—this was her biological sister, Qu Xiaoyu, who was one year younger than him.

A series of questions appeared in his mind, and the branches and leaves who had been with Shen Yizhuo during this time immediately asked and answered by themselves.Even if Shen Yizhuo said "I don't have a girlfriend", it is not enough to believe it.Qu Zhe knew very well that Shen Yizhuo would never reveal his sincerity to anyone, including him. As for whether those words were true or false, he had never thought about it. All along, he had no choice but to believe unconditionally. choose.

He had personally heard Shen Yizhuo's tenderness towards girls; he had also seen Shen Yizhuo's back in a hurry when he was looking for a girl.

But Qu Zhe never thought that this girl would be his biological sister.If there is anything in this world besides Shen Yizhuo that he cares about, it is Qu Xiaoyu.

This also means a fact that Qu Zhe can't believe - he slept with and lived with his sister's boyfriend, and they are still entangled.

Maybe the bottom line is that he got involved with Shen Yizhuo first, but if he pursues someone who is justified, he is the third party.

It is the third party of his own sister.

The moment Shen Yizhuo pushed open the door, Qu Zhe hurriedly lowered his head, opened the drawer and rummaged through the masks.There are always disposable masks in the store, so that it is not appropriate to make drinks for others when you have a cold.His hands trembled, and when he pulled a piece out of the box, he accidentally brought out many pieces.But he didn't have time to tidy them up. He hurriedly put on the mask and closed the drawer firmly.

"You're here, this is...?" the leader greeted him.

Shen Yizhuo didn't notice the waiter with his head bowed at the bar, and said calmly, "This is..." "Hello, I'm Yizhuo's girlfriend." Qu Xiaoyu smiled cheerfully, and stretched out his hand to meet the leader. people shaking hands.Of course, this is not her casual nonsense. Although she and Shen Yizhuo have a close relationship, the two of them have a very tacit understanding and never think about it.

But it was obvious that those girls looked at Shen Yizhuo with blushing faces, all of which explained their reason for coming.

And Shen Yizhuo didn't want to come here before, if she said so, she could help Shen Yizhuo solve some troubles.Qu Xiaoyu thought about it, and glanced at Shen Yizhuo.Sure enough, the other party cast a grateful look, and nodded: "Yeah."

The girls froze.

Qu Zhe stood at the bar, and when he heard these words, his heart was stabbed for a moment.Then the tingling pain turned into an indescribable discomfort, as if a beating heart had been pinched, and the whole body was short of oxygen, making it uncomfortable to suffocate.

The leader reacted quickly: "...Oh, come and sit, what do you want to drink?"

"I'll go and have a look!" Qu Xiaoyu ran to the bar very lively, looked up at the menu above carefully, thought for a while and said: "I want caramel macchiato, iced, sugar, thank you. "

Qu Zhe typed the list with trembling hands, and his voice came out muffled through the mask: "...Okay, wait a minute."

Having not seen each other for several years, and through a mask, Qu Xiaoyu never recognized that it was Qu Zhe's voice.Instead, because she hadn't thought about the possibility of meeting Qu Zhe, she found an empty seat and sat down after ordering.

But Shen Yizhuo was different.

They meet and talk every day, and a mask can't hide anything at all.He caught Qu Zhe's dodging eyes, but he was equally surprised now.

The conscience of heaven and earth, if he knew that Qu Zhe was working here, he would not come here with Qu Xiaoyu today anyway.

He looked at Qu Zhe without speaking or moving for a long time. The other party seemed to avoid looking at him deliberately, with his head lowered.

The leader came over and warmly hooked Shen Yizhuo's shoulder: "What do you want to drink, order it, and everything you drink for a private room costs [-]."

"Lemonade." Shen Yizhuo immediately recovered his usual calmness and said softly.

Qu Zhe didn't raise his head: "Okay, wait a moment."

"Let's go, let's go and watch the game!" The leader pulled Shen Yizhuo away.Shen Yizhuo didn't say much, and didn't even show anything wrong, he responded naturally, and then sat beside Qu Xiaoyu.Qu Zhe couldn't control his eyes, he always looked over there intentionally or unintentionally between making drinks, and looked away after a hasty glance, for fear that people would find out that he was flustered at the moment.

"Let us congratulate the RM team for taking the lead in winning the first round!!"

With the voice of the commentary, the atmosphere in the buckwheat coffee became more and more heated, and the fans of that team were alive and well, as if they were very happy.

In other words, at this moment, everyone is very happy.

Only Qu Zhe seemed to be struggling in a filthy mire, but he could only sink gradually.

The two drinks were ready soon, Shen Yizhuo didn't give him another look, Qu Zhe nervously came over with the tray and handed over the two drinks.Qu Xiaoyu was covering his mouth and laughing, he didn't know who made him laugh, he laughed very hard, and leaned on Shen Yizhuo slantingly.

Shen Yizhuo supported her without a trace, and dodged her.

But in Qu Zhe's eyes, this was already close enough.After putting down his drink, he didn't say anything, and hurried back to the bar, quickly picked up his mobile phone, walked a few steps to the warehouse behind, and dialed Aunt Zheng's number.

"Hello, Aunt Zheng... are you asleep? Oh, that's right. I'm not feeling very well. The reservation is not over yet. Can I ask for leave today... Yes, can I trouble you to come over?"

Aunt Zheng is very kind, and when she heard that he was not feeling well, she immediately agreed.

He hung up the phone and stood at the bar, the mask made him uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to take it off.From his position, Shen Yizhuo's profile could be seen, and Qu Xiaoyu would lean forward to talk to the people next to him from time to time, only at this time Qu Zhe could see her face clearly.

Xiaoyu has grown up and is very beautiful, even more beautiful than in the photo.

And, they're a good match.

For the rest of the time, Qu Zhe felt like sitting on pins and needles, kept looking out the door, secretly praying that Aunt Zheng would come over quickly, he really didn't want to stay for a second longer.If he stayed any longer, self-blame and low self-esteem would pierce his heart with ten thousand arrows.About ten minutes later, Aunt Zheng finally came.

Qu Zhe couldn't wait to take off his apron, and watched Aunt Zheng walk into the bar.

"This is... what's wrong? Have you caught a cold again?" Aunt Zheng asked worriedly seeing that he was wearing a mask.

He didn't have the heart to tell an insignificant lie, he just said hastily, "Yes, I'm going home first, I'm sorry today", and then picked up his belongings, without taking off his mask, turned and left.

Shen Yizhuo seemed to be watching the game with them, and was very integrated into the atmosphere, but he secretly observed Qu Zhe's movements.He can tell what Qu Zhe would guess at a glance, but if he doesn't want the situation to become even more unresolved, the best way is to pretend that he doesn't know him, and we'll talk about it later.

Qu Zhe seemed much calmer than what happened before.

But he didn't expect that Qu Zhe would suddenly switch shifts with others and leave.Seeing the moment Qu Zhe pushed open the glass door, Shen Yizhuo subconsciously grabbed the armrest of the sofa and wanted to get up to chase after him, but at this moment, Qu Xiaoyu suddenly said: "Yizhuo, yours is delicious, I can taste it ."

The knuckles of the handrail were so hard that they turned white, but Shen Yizhuo finally didn't stand up, and turned to Qu Xiaoyu, "It's okay, try it."

He took out his mobile phone and quickly sent a message to Qu Zhe.

"Wait until I get home."

After a few minutes, the other party didn't reply - it's almost impossible for Qu Zhe, as long as he sent a message, Qu Zhe would always reply as quickly as possible.Today is different, Shen Yizhuo waited for a long time, the second game was over, Qu Zhe still did not reply.

He couldn't hold back and continued to send: "Respond."

"I saw the reply."

"answer."

"answer."

"Where are you?"

An hour passed without any response to those text messages.

Shen Yizhuo was fidgeting, but he still had to pretend to be calm in front of others.

What he hates the most are things outside of his control.Living alone since he was a child, he is used to firmly controlling everything and everyone in his own hands.Including showing favor to others and being gentle to others are just an invisible means of control.

Because of this kind of tenderness, the other party will always do things in the way and way he wants.

Also because of this tenderness, he can get the likes of many people who are worthless, and this kind of likes is the best means of manipulation.

Once things get out of control, Shen Yizhuo will be very irritable.

The atmosphere was very enthusiastic, Shen Yizhuo stood up abruptly: "I'm going to make a phone call."

This was said to Qu Xiaoyu.Qu Xiaoyu was chatting with several other boys with smiles, and nodded upon hearing this, not thinking about it.

The weather is turning cold, and the night wind outside is a bit chilly.Shen Yizhuo walked out of the buckwheat coffee and couldn't wait to call Qu Zhe.

"The user you are dialing has switched off..."

His eyes narrowed dangerously, and his anger was on the verge of bursting.

Qu Zhe did it on purpose, deliberately did not reply to the message, and deliberately shut down the phone.

What does he want to do?

Countless possibilities flashed through Shen Yizhuo's mind, but none of them was inevitable.For the first time, he felt that he couldn't figure out Qu Zhe at all. Those controls were all based on Qu Zhe liking him. What if Qu Zhe didn't like him anymore?

He will not allow Qu Zhe not to like him.

The game lasted until 11:30 in the evening, and Shen Yizhuo stayed until that time, sending Qu Xiaoyu home first, and he returned home around twelve o'clock.

The key was inserted into the lock and turned slowly. With the crisp sound of the lock cylinder, the door opened. It was pitch black inside, and the lights were not turned on.

Shen Yizhuo changed his shoes unhurriedly, reached out to turn on the light, walked in barefoot, and went straight to the bedroom.The bedroom was empty, no one was there.The study was also empty, no one was there.

The apartment was quiet and he was the only one there.

This doesn't explain anything—Shen Yizhuo thought about it, and opened the closet, where all the clothes he bought for Qu Zhe were still there.This may mean that he just hasn't come home yet, not left.Shen Yizhuo didn't want to admit that he became more stable because of this, but he subconsciously let out a long breath.

After he sat on the sofa and smoked a cigarette, he stood up uncontrollably and walked around the room.I didn't notice it before, but now I feel that if you live alone, the decoration colors of this house are all cool colors, which looks a bit cold.

He thought about it, and finally realized that something was missing at home.

In the corner, Qu Zhe's old boarding bag was gone.

A strong sense of frustration struck. In the past two hours or so, Qu Zhe only came back. He didn't take away any of the things he bought for him, only the bag he brought with him when he came.

This can explain the crux of the problem: Qu Zhe is gone.
