Mainly because he gave too much money

"Give me a Mojito for my love, please."

When Zhou Ziyi said this, the bartender was stunned for a second, then he glanced at Yan Xiuji and raised his eyebrows knowingly.

Yan Xiuji and Yu Yanxi looked at Zhou Ziyi in unison.

But they obviously couldn't get the stalk, and there was nothing but doubts on their faces.Yu Yanxi even turned to look at Yan Xiuji: "Are you drinking Mojito now?"

Yan Xiuji looked at him, then subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhou Ziyi again.

Zhou Ziyi looked very natural, and looked at him with his chin propped up: "Don't you want to drink?"

drink?Don't drink?

Yan Xiuji suddenly felt a little funny. Although he didn't know what was going on, it sounded like it had some special meaning.

He looked at Zhou Ziyi, unwilling to fulfill his wish: "Okay."

Zhou Ziyi laughed.

Without ordering, the bartender has already started to mix drinks.Yan Xiuji saw that Zhou Ziyi was just watching the bartending with his chin propped up, and asked, "You don't order?"

Zhou Ziyi flicked his eyeballs, and his eyes fell on his face for a second, then he lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "I ordered it."

"Order?" Yan Xiuji was puzzled, except for a glass of Mojito, he didn't hear Zhou Ziyi order anything else, "What did you order?"

"Didn't you hear it?" Zhou Ziyi pointed at the bartender, "He did."

Yan Xiuji: "Huh?"

The bartender didn't stop moving, but raised his eyes and replied, "Coffee, don't you need too much sugar?"

Zhou Ziyi: "Hahahaha, yes."

Yan Xiuji:? ?

The bartender also asked, "Do you want more cigars?"

Zhou Ziyi said happily: "Put it away!"

Yan Xiuji:? ? ?

Boss Yan couldn't figure out how Zhou Ziyi could suddenly go back and forth with a bartender, with such a tacit understanding.He squinted his eyes and asked Zhou Ziyi, "Do you know each other?"

"I don't know you." Zhou Ziyi blinked and replied, "We met for the first time today."

Yan Xiuji said: "Then what charades are you playing?"

Zhou Ziyi looked at the bartender.

The bartender just put the mint leaves away and pushed the wine in front of Yan Xiuji.Noticing Zhou Ziyi's gaze, the bartender smiled at him: "Sorry, we can't let it go."

"Okay." Zhou Ziyi took out his mobile phone and opened... the QR code of the payment software.

"Answer questions for a fee." Zhou Ziyi handed the phone to Yan Xiuji, "Come on, bro."

Yu Yanxi said from behind: "Among you, do you even have to pay for answering a question?"

Yan Xiuji didn't reply to him, because his attention was attracted by the number under the payment code.

— three dollars.

The head of Huahao, President Yan Da, suddenly felt a little dumbfounded.

What can three yuan do?Even if Yan Xiuji knew it was a joke, he never thought that Zhou Ziyi only wanted three yuan.He scanned it immediately and commented: "It's not expensive."

"Can't buy a refrigerator and freezer?" Zhou Ziyi answered subconsciously, and then operated on the mobile phone, "Okay, the answer is sent to you!"

Yan Xiuji saw a new message from letter X.

He was about to click on it when Zhou Ziyi's hand covered his screen: "Don't look at it now, we'll talk about it when we go back."

"..." Yan Xiuji and him looked at each other for a few seconds, feeling that his eyes were bright with a sly smile.

--Fine.

Yan Xiuji thought, it seems that he hasn't smiled like this for a long time, just follow him.

So Yan Xiuji put away his phone.

The interaction between them is very simple, but it really looks like dog food.Seeing it, Yu Yanxi was silent for a long time, and waited for Yan Xiuji to put down his phone and take a sip of wine before speaking again.

"Hey, speaking of it, I haven't had a Mojito yet." Yu Yanxi looked at Yan Xiuji and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to go to Cuba in the past two years and try the authentic ones. I didn't expect that the plan would not be able to catch up. Change, I have been very busy, so I didn’t make it.”

Yan Xiuji said: "You have always been serious about your studies."

"Yeah, I like this, so I've always been serious..." Yu Yanxi looked at the bar, and smiled slightly melancholy, "But now I feel that maybe it's because I'm too serious and too confident that I missed a lot of things. Important matter."

Zhou Ziyi heard his temples throbbing on the other side.

——Although I have already made some mental preparations...

——But psychological preparation is one thing, and actual confrontation is another!

Zhou Ziyi couldn't figure it out, was he jealous so he doubled down on Yu Yanxi's filter, or was it that Yan Xiuji, his childhood sweetheart, was really so...obviously competing with him.

Tsk, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you came back to "defend the territory"...

Zhou Ziyi was wandering, his coffee really came.Without thinking about it, he picked it up and took a sip, and immediately choked on the bitter taste and coughed: "Cough...cough cough!"

— Fuck, coffee is against me too!

He was secretly complaining about the coffee now, and he didn't think about the joke he made with the bartender just now.When ordering, he didn't say what kind of coffee he wanted, and agreed not to have too much sugar, so the waiter simply served him a cup of Concentration.

That's really... one bite to refresh your mind.

Yan Xiuji was also moved by his movement and turned his head to look: "What?"

Zhou Ziyi was expressionless: "...it's nothing."

Said that the coffee is so bitter that you want to cry?Does Zhou Ziyi want to lose face?The sins I made can only be cleaned up silently.

Yan Xiuji glanced at his cup, and frowned slightly: "Do you really drink coffee? Don't drink this at night, or you won't be able to sleep when you go back."

Zhou Ziyi said casually: "You don't care, do I ask you not to sleep if I can't sleep?"

As soon as the words came out, Zhou Ziyi was taken aback for a moment.

This is not a big deal at first glance, but you can't think deeply about it.When you think about it deeply... it has color.

Zhou Ziyi: Wronged, this time it really wasn't intentional!

Yan Xiuji didn't know if he noticed another meaning in Zhou Zi's anecdote, but he just pushed his cup away: "If you insist on drinking coffee, at least choose something weak. The espresso is so bitter that your face is wrinkled." Alright, is masochism fun?"

Zhou Ziyi said: "Everything is ordered..."

"If you order it, you will order it, sunk cost." Yan Xiuji said, "You spend money, but you still find yourself guilty, are you in a hurry?"

"Okay, you convinced me." Zhou Ziyi said, "Then order me one."

"I?"

"It's a matter of courtesy."

Yan Xiuji thought for a while: "Then order a black tea latte."

Zhou Ziyi said casually, "You don't even have coffee here."

Yan Xiuji looked at him: "Don't you want to drink?"

...a very familiar rhetorical question.

Zhou Ziyi didn't expect Yan Xiuji to be waiting here, and stared at him for several seconds before he was sure that there was really a smile in his eyes.

All right, it's okay to let Mr. Yan win back a victory.

The important thing is that Yan Xiuji actually kept Zhou Ziyi's words in his heart and used them, which made Zhou Ziyi feel a little happy.

So Zhou Ziyi also imitated Yan Xiuji, nodded and smiled: "Okay."

***

This night, Yan Xiuji and Zhou Ziyi were almost inseparable.

No matter in front of the bar or sitting with everyone at the table, Zhou Ziyi is basically next to Yan Xiuji.What's subtle is that Yu Yanxi often hangs around Yan Xiuji's side.

He wasn't there all the time, but it gave the impression that after chatting with others for a few minutes, he went to talk to Yan Xiuji again.If time goes back ten years, a group of old friends would be familiar with the interaction between Yu Yanxi and Yan Xiuji.If we only take a step back, without Zhou Ziyi present, this picture will be much more harmonious.But tonight Yan Xiuji and Zhou Ziyi were always in pairs, so it was always weird for Yu Yanxi to step in again.

Everyone was gossip-crazy in their hearts, but they had to be tense on the face, so they had to hold their mobile phones and gossip crazily in the small group.

【What is Yu Yanxi doing?What is this for? ? ? 】

【Although...it's not good to disturb the relationship between husband and wife...】

[He wouldn't do that kind of thing, would he?I feel like he's not that kind of person. 】

[But tonight's model looks like it's going to compete with that Zhou Ziyi for territory...]

[Yan Xiuji Yan Fu is not shallow! 】

[Come on, neither his wife nor Yu Yanxi are easy-going lamps, can you handle this fire in the backyard? 】

【When Zhou Ziyi and Yu Yanxi were talking, they kept smiling, which was very powerful. 】

【To be honest, Yan Xiuji and Yu Yanxi had such a good relationship before, so it's not certain who wins and who loses...】

[By the way, where is Yan Xiuji?Where did he go? 】

Yan Xiuji, go to the bathroom.

Zhou Ziyi wouldn't even follow this, so Mr. Yan finally acted alone for the first time tonight.

After going to the toilet, he came out and ran into Yu Yanxi in the corridor.

Yan Xiuji only thought that he was coming to the bathroom, so he nodded at him, but Yu Yanxi stood in front of him, blocking his way.

"Talk?" Yu Yanxi's face lost the gentle smile before, and his eyes were serious, as if he didn't want to give up until he reached his goal, "It won't take up much of your time."

Yan Xiuji was noncommittal, but asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Don't you know if you talk about it?" Yu Yanxi said, "Why, after you get married, can I not even occupy a few minutes?"

"..." Yan Xiuji was silent for a few seconds before replying, "All right, where can we talk?"

Yu Yanxi pointed to the end of the corridor: "There."

Yan Xiuji nodded, and the two walked to the end one after the other.There is an employee passage after the corner, and most customers will not walk through it.Even if someone came to use the toilet, they would not be seen.

The two stopped in the passage, Yan Xiuji looked at Yu Yanxi: "Speak."

Yu Yanxi looked at him, silent for several seconds.Yan Xiuji didn't seem to speak, and just waited for him quietly.

"Ash, you seem to have changed."

Yu Yanxi sighed lightly: "We used to be friends who talked about everything, but now, it seems that I will waste your time if I talk to you a few more words."

"No." Yan Xiuji paused, and explained, "It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm not used to it."

"We can't get used to it..." Yu Yanxi laughed at himself, "I feel now that I really made a wrong choice back then."

Yan Xiuji looked at him and said in a calm tone, "Everyone should be responsible for their own decisions."

"You're blaming me, aren't you?" Yu Yanxi said, "If you can say it now, why didn't you say it back then? If you told me your thoughts, maybe I wouldn't go abroad, maybe... the situation today will totally different."

"What are you talking about?" Yan Xiuji said, "You are just pursuing your dream, I have nothing to say."

Yu Yanxi didn't answer right away.

He stared fixedly at Yan Xiuji, and after a while, he suddenly changed the subject.

It was also the question he really wanted to ask.

"Do you really like men?"
