Muse
Chapter 5
After the couple who showed off their beloved wife's bento left, Zuo Xuanyi remained in a sluggish state of "I'm injured and I don't want to go on a business trip in the afternoon", leaning against the counter and flipping through the afternoon tea menu.
Yang Kaiyin who passed by him patted him on the shoulder, persuading the boss like a close friend, "There is no rush to have a boyfriend."
At first, Xiao Yunwei thought he heard it wrong, after all, he was in a small conference room, a little far away from the counter.But the switchboard sister also said, "Yes, yes, boss, there is no grass anywhere in the world, you have to trust our company's feng shui. Look, I found a boyfriend as soon as I joined the company."
Zuo Xuanyi listened to the two talking to each other, and after a while he said, "But Yao Shiqian doesn't have a boyfriend."
Yao Shiqian, who was named, shouted: "I don't need a boyfriend! What I need is a girlfriend!"
Yang Kaiyin immediately replied, "When love finds you, it doesn't matter whether you want a man or a woman, you have to fall anyway."
Xiao Yunwei didn't bother to care what Yao Shiqian yelled again, he only cared about whether he might have misunderstood something.He got up, poured a glass of water, and walked towards the gossip crowd.
As soon as Zuo Xuanyi saw him, he pointed to him and said, "Xiao Yunwei didn't either."
Yang Kaiyin didn't say anything, she just smiled mysteriously.The sister of the switchboard protested that Xiao Yunwei had only been here for a long time, so it can't be counted, Feng Shui also needs some time.
Xiao Yunwei coughed, pretending that he didn't hear anything just now, and immediately asked, "What are you talking about?"
"The boss's friend left him and got a boyfriend first, he was very sad." Yang Kaiyin patted Zuo Xuanyi on the shoulder, and continued: "He always thought that he would get a boyfriend earlier than Chen Jinghuan when he was out in the public eye. , I didn’t expect Chen Jinghuan to find a boyfriend at home.”
"Don't talk like I'm not there," Zuo Xuanyi protested dumbfounded, "And you guys just help me out like this..."
"The whole company knows about this, why don't you let Xiao Yunwei know?" Yao Shiqian walked up to the boss with a mug in his hand, and turned to ask Xiao Yunwei, "Will you have any objections to the boss because of sexual orientation?"
"The point is not that..."
Zuo Xuanyi's protest was ignored, and Xiao Yunwei looked at the people in front of him staring at him, wondering what they were doing.
If they were afraid that Zuo Xuanyi would be disliked by his colleagues if he came out, they shouldn't discuss this in public.
If you want to know whether your colleagues are sexually discriminated against, you can just ask them without disclosing the boss's sexuality.
Xiao Yunwei pondered for a while before saying, "I won't have any objections to anyone because of my sexual orientation, but I don't think it's a good way for you to disclose your boss' sexual orientation like this. If the boss himself really minds."
"You really have something to say..." Yao Shiqian blinked with a complicated expression.
"What he said is fair!" Zuo Xuanyi squeezed away Yao Shiqian, who was standing between him and Xiao Yunwei, put his shoulders on Xiao Yunwei's shoulder and continued: "And if he minds, just now Jing Huan and his little brother If the boyfriend keeps flashing, he will speak straight. Yunwei is not the kind of person who expresses his friendship with you but talks nonsense in private."
"You're really protecting yourself..." Yang Kaiyin took a sip of coffee, smiled mysteriously and returned to her seat.While walking, he said, "Okay, okay, I hope you will have a boyfriend and a wife bento soon, but it's just a wife bento hahaha."
Zuo Xuanyi leaned close to Xiao Yunwei's ear, and said as if complaining: "Tell you, Kai Yin's boyfriend gets off work at [-] o'clock every day to help her cook love dinner, of course she thinks it's nothing!"
"Yes, senior, you told me."
"Did I say that?" Zuo Xuanyi raised his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember..."
"I remember everything the senior said to me."
"So powerful?" Zuo Xuanyi looked a little frightened, "Really remember?"
"Really." Xiao Yunwei said seriously: "Senior said before that he would come to my house in a year to check whether it is still tidy. Because of this sentence, I mop the floor after get off work every day."
"Really, do you still have the energy to mop the floor after get off work?" Yao Shiqian asked in shock, "Don't you go to sleep after get off work?"
"Of course it's fake, whoever mops the floor every day, you have a sense of humor, okay?" Zuo Xuanyi patted his assistant on the shoulder and said with a smile: "But his house is really clean, so I want to move there Living."
"Senior has servants at home, why don't you go back to your hometown."
Yao Shiqian was beaten again by the boss. Zuo Xuanyi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just telling you that my father and I still have a little piss. I don't want to be embarrassed every day, okay? I'm talking about you. Listen!"
"Oh, I'm not like Xiao Yunwei who remembers everything," Yao Shiqian jogged back to his seat with his mouth pursed, "I'm only responsible for memorizing business matters."
"Fart, do you still remember that there are servants in my hometown!"
Xiao Yunwei looked at the conversation between the two who were getting more and more childish, and couldn't help but stop it, so as to prevent the conversation from continuing. "Senior, do you want to go to Taichung by yourself this afternoon? Or do you want me to go with you?"
Zuo Xuanyi slumped his shoulders and said, "I'll just go by myself. I don't know if Yang Ruihua will regret coming to the company this afternoon and lose his nerve. If he comes, I'd better trouble you to wake him up."
Xiao Yunwei nodded, and when the senior added in a low voice, "If Mrs. Yang is here, I will leave it to the switchboard sister to perfuse her. The switchboard sister is very experienced." He took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Zuo Xuanyi.
"What is this?" Zuo Xuanyi opened the notebook, blushed after turning a few pages, and quickly put it in his pocket. "You did it?"
"Well, it's just a Taichung City-limited version this time. I'll give you the versions for each county and city when the senior comes back." Seeing that the other party put the notes he had organized into his pocket, Xiao Yunwei smiled: "If the senior comes back this time If you accidentally arrive in Kaohsiung, just follow the plan from last time."
"I won't..." Zuo Xuanyi suddenly lost his voice in the middle of speaking, and after a while, he turned to complain to himself: "Forget it, don't talk too early, maybe what will happen when you come to Tainan this time."
"Then call me." Xiao Yunwei pointed to the pocket that contained the notebook, and said, "The third page is my mobile phone number, even if you lose your mobile phone, you can still call me."
"Keep down." Zuo Xuanyi's face was still red, he gestured for silence, and asked in a low voice, "When did you do it?"
"I just waited for Yang Ruihua to do it in my spare time." Xiao Yunwei smiled and said, "I hope it will only be a tool for preparedness, and it won't really come in handy."
Zuo Xuanyi shook his head and replied seriously: "I think at least one page will be used, really. Thank you."
Xiao Yunwei only smiled, and when the senior turned back to the office and was about to leave for Taichung, he walked back to the door of the small meeting room.
He looked at the back of the senior rummaging around in the office, guessing whether the other party was looking for a ticket or data, and responded softly in his heart: If at least one page will be used, I hope you can choose to call me.
When the eighth egg was sacrificed heroically, Chu Shaohe finally couldn't help reminding his friends, "Well, do you want to turn the fire down?"
After Xiao Yunwei washed the pot, he dried his hands and picked up the tablet to re-read the recipes on the Internet. "...Well, it's true that the fire is going to be turned down, but I didn't see it."
"Are you so stupid because you ate your boss's saliva... Don't stare at me, I can't tell the truth?" Chu Shaohe pointed to the wasted eggs in the trash can, and asked with some distress: "Do you think you are still alive?" How many times will it fail?"
"I don't know, it should be almost successful." Xiao Yunwei hurriedly finished beating the egg and picked up the eggshell with his chopsticks. His tone was rare guilty, "The recipe looks very easy, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to execute."
Chu Shaohe nodded in agreement: "He Yujin also told me last time that that pose looked easy, but I almost slipped to my waist."
Xiao Yunwei continued to beat eggs in silence, not intending to answer at all.
Chu Shaohe doesn't care if people answer or not, he can talk for half an hour by himself. "I said, why are you making bento? Isn't it faster to buy it outside? You even called to borrow the kitchen... What, do you want to get married?"
Xiao Yunwei added some mayonnaise and broth to the bowl, continued to stir, and ignored Chu Shaohe.
"When He Yujin heard you say that the dormitory kitchen is too small, and he wanted to borrow the kitchen, he thought he had heard it wrong. He is actually a pretty good guy, except for his exaggerated possessiveness. When you said that he wanted to borrow the kitchen, he didn't even think about it. If I think about it, I agree, and there will be a refrigerator of vegetables as well.”
Chu Shaohe handed over the sugar bowl, and continued, "Normally, the kitchen is Madam Wang's domain. If you come, she will have to take a holiday. I will rely on you today, don't make me starve to death at home."
"I try my best."
As soon as Chu Shaohe received the response, he immediately spoke more vigorously, "Why do you want to learn how to make bento? Can't you tell me? Just tell me a little bit. Don't look at me like this. I usually read mystery novels. You just need to say a little and I can deduce it, believe it or not? I will look like Sherlock Holmes, "
"My senior wants to eat my beloved wife's bento."
"...and Conan...what did you say?" Chu Shaohe blinked, "Did I hear wrong or did you say wrong? Beloved Wife Bento?"
"You heard me right, and I'm not mistaken, he wants a wife's bento. A wife's bento with omelet, octopus sausage, fried rice with diced corn and ham, and a little cauliflower."
"Why is there a wife bento with such a clear menu..."
Xiao Yunwei didn't say it, that was the standard answer he got from asking Chen Jinghuan in an email that day.Chen Jinghuan also attached a recipe, suggesting to start practicing from blanching cauliflower.
Although he was a bit reluctant, he had been busy all morning, except that the broth was easily boiled and the cauliflower was cooked smoothly, and the octopus sausage failed nine times before it succeeded, making every foot look exactly the same.
Tried the fried rice once and it was ok but the rice was mushy and a bit soggy.
The omelet has failed four times, hope not to break the record for the octopus bratwurst.
Xiao Yunwei put down the bowl, carefully distributed the oil evenly on the bottom of the pot, and poured egg juice on it.
After a while, the edge of the egg juice showed some signs of being cooked, Xiao Yunwei pretended that he didn't hear Chu Shaohe's nonsense, and slid the chopsticks into the bottom of the egg intently, and rolled it up gently.
Chu Shaohe, who was standing aside, was still saying, "Could it be that your boss asked you to learn from the menu? No, the point is that you are actually a beloved wife? God, I don't accept this image!"
After Xiao Yunwei rolled the eggs to the same side, dipped the oil again to distribute them evenly on the bottom of the pan, and poured the egg juice.
While waiting intently, he replied to Chu Shaohe, "If you keep arguing, we can only order delivery at noon."
Chu Shaohe was silent for a few minutes, and waited until Xiao Yunwei finished making an omelette that seemed not very cooked in the middle, and then said: "You didn't succeed even if I shut up..."
"Take a bite and see."
"...What should I do if I have diarrhea after eating?"
"Then go to the toilet and do it quietly, don't disturb me here." Xiao Yunwei put the plate on the table, and stuffed the chopsticks into Chu Shaohe's hands. "eat."
Chu Shaohe picked up the omelet, closed his eyes heroically, took a bite, and chewed. "...It's quite delicious."
Xiao Yunwei nodded with a smile, and said, "As long as you don't have diarrhea within two hours, this dish should be fine."
Chu Shaohe, who was chewing the second omelet, was silent for a few seconds. After swallowing the omelet, he immediately asked gossip, "Why did your boss say he wanted to eat his beloved wife's bento? Did he tell you? you say?"
Xiao Yunwei knew that his complexion must be ugly, because Chu Shaohe stuffed an omelet into his mouth, and quietly played the role of a literary youth who might have diarrhea later on.
He cleaned up the kitchen and dried the rag before saying, "He said it while lying on my shoulder, but the target of that sentence should be the whole company. If someone cooks, he eats it."
"I don't think it's that simple," Chu Shaohe shook his head, and the literary youth turned into a gossip writer. "Maybe he's hinting at you, as long as you cook it and send it over, he'll confess to you."
Xiao Yunwei stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said, "Probably not. By the way, where is your guest room? I want to sleep for a while."
Chu Shaohe pointed to the second floor and said, "I'll take you there. What are you doing? You didn't sleep well yesterday? Don't you want to go to bed after lunch?"
"Please call for a delivery, and wake me up when you come." Xiao Yunwei followed behind Chu Shaohe, and said as he walked, "The day before yesterday, my senior ran to Penghu because of the mess of an employee. He said that night there It’s super boring, I’m tired of looking at the sea view, so I called and chatted with me, and we talked until almost one o’clock every day before going to bed. He said yesterday that he didn’t have to go to work on the weekend, so he talked until almost two o’clock...”
"That's it... wait, it's not right!" Chu Shaohe stood at the door of the guest room, suddenly turned around and put his arms around Xiao Yunwei's shoulders, and shouted loudly: "This is the prelude to dating, right? Calling the hotline every day or something! Obviously nothing happened It takes three hours of phone calls to talk about big things, and more than half of the content is nonsense.”
"What my senior said is not nonsense."
"Ah? I want to talk to you about business..." Chu Shaohe slumped his shoulders, looking weak.
"Talk about what happened when he was a child, and the revolution he had with his family because of the landscape." Xiao Yunwei took a deep breath and rubbed the corners of his eyes again, "Can I go to sleep?"
Chu Shaohe opened the door, pointed to the bed, and said when Xiao Yunwei was sitting on the edge of the bed: "I also think what your boss said is not nonsense."
"It wasn't originally."
"He is dating you without knowing it. He thinks he is talking nonsense, but he is talking about love." Chu Shaohe closed the door and went downstairs while roaring, "My classmate actually used the name of the kitchen to blind me. Really! Xiao Yunwei, I want to swipe your card to buy four pizzas until I vomit!"
Sitting on the bed, Xiao Yunwei first confirmed that the wallet was in his pocket, then covered his face, and couldn't help laughing.
At noon two days later, Zuo Xuanyi returned to the company with a large amount of Penghu delicacies.When everyone was eating, he announced that the case was over and that there was no problem with the master. After that, he only needed to check the progress once a week.
Yang Kaiyin pushed the colleague who got out of the bag, and said to him: "Hurry up, thank you senior for saving the case."
The colleague bowed his head nervously and shouted: "Thank you senior! Senior, may I treat you to dinner?"
Xiao Yunwei who was walking out of the small conference room raised his eyebrows, only to see Zuo Xuanyi smiled and said no need, just remember not to do it again next time.
Zuo Xuanyi was also sharp-eyed, and when he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yunwei standing at the door and looking at him.He raised his hands and yelled at Xiao Yunwei: "We agreed to eat hot pot in the evening, don't run home by yourself after get off work!"
"Wait," Yao Shiqian chewed the brown sugar cake, and asked solemnly, "Senior, you send us away with this, and then go to eat hot pot with Xiao Yunwei?"
"What are you sending? Hey, I have been carrying it very hard!" Zuo Xuanyi pointed to the food on the table, and then said: "There are also ice products, but they melted when I brought them back, so I sent them back. Wait until the cactus ice arrives. Don't eat it when it's time!"
"Senior! Boss! I was wrong!"
Everyone quarreled for a while, and the days of being overwhelmed by the case finally had something to do. Yao Shiqian took advantage of the boss's seemingly good mood, and added: "Why don't we go eat hot pot together?"
Zuo Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, Yang Kaiyin went on to say that it was inconvenient for her not to say it in advance, otherwise tomorrow?
The switchboard sister kept up with the topic and said, "Yes, we haven't had dinner together for a long time. Everyone is so busy. I also think it would be nice to have a hot pot together someday."
"Boss, don't worry, the accountant said that you can pay for the dinner party!"
Zuo Xuanyi licked his lips and hesitated for a while before saying: "It's not a question of whether to pay the bill or not. I made an appointment with Xiao Yunwei when I was in Penghu. Today I will eat hot pot, tomorrow I will go to the night market, and the day after tomorrow I will eat Japanese food. ..."
Seeing everyone staring at him silently, Xiao Yunwei sighed, and said: "Otherwise, senior, let's go to the night market first today, and tomorrow we all go to eat hot pot together?"
Holding a piece of brown sugar cake, Yao Shiqian protested: "Why do you only ask Xiao Yunwei, at least you also ask me, senior, I'm your assistant!"
Yang Kaiyin picked up another piece of brown sugar cake and stuffed it into Yao Shiqian's mouth, and said, "Who bought the round-trip ticket to Penghu? Who booked the transportation over there? Who booked the hotel? You have the nerve to say that you are an assistant."
"Senior Yao happened to be busy at that time, so I just took over to help." Xiao Yunwei smiled at Yao Shiqian who nodded fiercely: "It's a small matter."
"So you ordered it," Zuo Xuanyi wanted to squeeze to Xiao Yunwei's side, but he swayed in order to avoid the switchboard sister who was reaching for the peanut candy.Xiao Yunwei quickly supported him, took his arm and brought him to his side.
Zuo Xuanyi felt a little hot on his face, he coughed, and then said: "I still feel strange, why Yao Shiqian is so considerate this time, not only asked the owner of the hotel to pick me up at the airport, but also the car. The car is the store's car. Kailai B&B gave it to me, it’s the same model as my car, with a map attached! If I had known, I wouldn’t have bought him another portion of peanut candied scallop sauce…”
Yao Shiqian howled miserably, but Yang Kaiyin blocked his mouth with brown sugar cake again.
Zuo Xuanyi waved his hand to signal everyone to continue eating, and he had to go home to pack his luggage and take a shower. "After a few days of sea breeze, I feel that the whole body is covered with sea salt. Wait for it to be warmed, and it will probably be ready to serve."
His words made everyone laugh out loud, except Xiao Yunwei who blinked and didn't smile.
Zuo Xuanyi bumped Xiao Yunwei with his elbow and asked, "Isn't it funny?"
Xiao Yunwei glanced at him, and said seriously: "I'm thinking about how to arrange the plate."
"Oh, it's not bad, it will be funny." Zuo Xuanyi patted Xiao Yunwei's shoulder, smiled and took the car keys and was about to go out. "I'll call and make an appointment with you after I'm done. It's a night market anyway, so there's no need to make a reservation."
Xiao Yunwei nodded, and the two went about their business.
It wasn't until after two o'clock that Zuo Xuanyi called and asked which night market he would like to invite, and Xiao Yunwei asked, "Senior, why don't we go eat Japanese food today?"
"Ah? It's not impossible...why don't you eat the night market?"
On the other end of the microphone came some crackling sounds, like a glass bottle hitting a mug.Xiao Yunwei didn't speculate much, just whispered: "Senior, you have lost a lot of weight, and you look very tired. Going to the night market is very exhausting."
"It's exhausting. I must be crazy to ask for such an early flight. I almost fell asleep after taking a shower." After Zuo Xuanyi finished speaking, he probably stretched his waist and uttered a low moan Then he continued, "Then follow the original plan? Go to the restaurant near Zhongshan Station?"
"I'll wait to make a reservation, seven o'clock, okay?"
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, and I won't go back to the company. I'll set the alarm clock for six o'clock. If you can't make it right, tell me after six o'clock. I should have the energy to go shopping at the night market after I sleep. "
"it is good."
After that, Xiao Yunwei made a reservation, finished work on time at [-]:[-], and clocked off work.
When he got on the MRT, he called his senior.The bell rang for a long time before it ended, and when the phone was picked up, Zuo Xuanyi's voice was full of exhaustion.
"Senior?"
"...Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep again..." Zuo Xuanyi took a deep breath, sounding like he was trying to wake up.
"Or should the senior continue to sleep? I'll buy dinner there?" Xiao Yunwei picked a few restaurants that the senior liked in his mind, thinking about which one was closer to the MRT.
Zuo Xuanyi originally said it was good, but he didn't know what he thought of, but suddenly changed his mind and said: No, I'll take a taxi there, I'd better eat steak.
"Wouldn't it be too much?"
"I don't force it," Zuo Xuanyi said with a smile, "I've been dreaming of eating hot pot and steak with you these days. I don't force it at all!"
Xiao Yunwei also laughed. "Then see you at seven?"
"Um!"
After eating delicious food for several days in a row, the three meals are normal plus an afternoon tea.Zuo Xuanyi couldn't help teasing that his flesh had grown back when he and Xiao Yunwei walked along the underground shopping mall of the department store after eating the teppanyaki.
Xiao Yunwei glanced at the apple smoothie in his senior's hand, swallowed a sentence of complaints and said, "It's okay."
"A few years ago, my brother was busy with work and had a lot of entertainment, so his belly protruded. He used to be a school grass, and the extra belly is still terrible. I definitely can't grow a belly."
Xiao Yunwei asked with a smile, "Then, did senior consider going to the gym?"
"You want to accompany me? Otherwise, I will never remember which day I am going to. It is easier to control my diet." Zuo Xuanyi testified: "Chen Jinghuan doesn't exercise very much, and his body is still similar to that in college."
"Actually, it's not difficult to control your diet. If no one is watching, it's easy to overeat if you don't pay attention."
Zuo Xuanyi licked his lips, took a sip of the smoothie, and then continued, "I also feel that someone needs to be watching. Well, that, I'm going to Taichung for a business trip tomorrow, and you're going too? There are too many delicious foods in Taichung..."
Xiao Yunwei was silent for a while, and Zuo Xuanyi continued, "And didn't you say you wanted to see that opera house last time? We can drop by to see it."
Listening to the senior next to him, Xiao Yunwei continued to say, "Ah, there is also Miyahara Ophthalmology Department, the remodeling is not bad, the ice is delicious, it's true...", knowing that the other party is serious about asking him to go.
He thought for a while and said softly, "I really want to agree, but there will be a meeting tomorrow morning, and I need to report the progress of the case I'm in charge of."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunwei saw his senior pouted, looking a little disappointed.Although he was a little soft-hearted and wanted to just agree, anyway, the senior was only there for a day, so it shouldn't be a problem to ask for leave.
But that's not something he would do.
Xiao Yunwei thought for a while, and after thinking about it, he was about to propose, "Otherwise, I'll take the high-speed train there after get off work." Zuo Xuanyi had already jumped to the next topic, pointed to the ice cream counter next to him and said, oh my god, that ice cream looks so delicious!
Missing the opportunity, Xiao Yunwei had no choice but to chat along the topic.
Xiao Yunwei didn't think it was a big deal at first.
Seniors often go on business trips, and the reason is simple: clients especially like the boss to come and talk about matters in person, because they have a feeling that "the case is very honorable" when they see the boss.
Fortunately, Zuo Xuanyi was also willing to go to the scene to control all the progress, but it was hard for the assistant, and there were too many things to deal with before and after the business trip.
But recently Zuo Xuanyi seldom asks Yao Shiqian to go with him.
From Yao Shiqian's worry at the beginning to his reassurance now, the most important contribution is Xiao Yunwei's help notes from various places.
On the day when Zuo Xuanyi went to Taichung for a business trip, Xiao Yunwei began to keep his mobile phone close to him at around five o'clock in the afternoon, fearing that his senior would call and he would miss it.
But he waited and waited, had dinner after work, even put his phone in a plastic bag and took it into the bathroom to take a shower, Zuo Xuanyi didn't call.
Not even a message.
Xiao Yunwei was a little worried, but he couldn't find a reason to call.After thinking for a long time, I thought of asking the senior if he remembered to control his diet. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.
He hesitated for a while and decided not to call. After all, it was a bit late, maybe the senior was just too tired and went to bed after eating.
What's more, the senior has been to Taichung so many times, so it should be no problem.
Xiao Yunwei tossed and turned for half an hour, and when he was about to fall asleep, the phone rang suddenly.It was his senior's favorite English song, and it was naturally the ringtone for his senior's call.
Xiao Yunwei got up to answer the phone, and adjusted himself back to a sober state in the fastest time.
"Xiao, Xiao Yunwei, are you asleep?"
"Not yet, what's the matter?"
On the other end of the phone, apart from the sound of the senior drinking a drink, there was no noisy background sound.Xiao Yunwei thought to himself: It should be in a restaurant, right?
"Very good," Zuo Xuanyi laughed twice, and then said, "This way I won't drink alone..."
Drink alone?Xiao Yunwei listened for a while, only to realize that Zuo Xuanyi should be drinking. "...Senior, are you drinking by yourself?"
"Yeah, it's a pity not to drink!"
Xiao Yunwei was silent for a while, thinking that luckily the senior was just drinking in the restaurant alone, so nothing serious should happen.He took a deep breath before saying, "Go to bed after drinking, the car at noon tomorrow, right?"
"I've been preparing for so long, but I want to drink it by myself..."
Xiao Yunwei rolled his eyes, thinking otherwise, who else do you want to drink with?Yao Shiqian?Yao Shiqian's drinking capacity can be called a tragedy, how boring it is for you to drink together.
He got up and got out of bed, turned on the light and went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water.During this period, his senior kept talking to himself on the other end of the phone, probably talking drunk.
While Xiao Yunwei responded, he decided that if he was free next time, he would go with him.
Just after Xiao Yunwei sat on the sofa, Zuo Xuanyi, who finished speaking a series of vague words on the other end, suddenly raised his volume and asked, "Are you listening?"
"have."
Zuo Xuanyi dropped the complaint about drinking alone, and the topic suddenly turned to personal matters.
"Do you know? My brother said that I am proud of being favored, so I lose my temper with you all day long."
"...I don't know about that."
"Of course you don't know, I didn't say it..." Zuo Xuanyi laughed to himself for a long time before asking again: "What did I just say?"
"Speaking of your brother thinking that you are proud of being favored."
"Oh yes, I am proud of being favored."
Xiao Yunwei thought that Zuo Xuanyi was probably lying on the bed or sofa to make the sound of fabric rubbing against each other.
He didn't dare to think about it or speculate deeply, because he was afraid that he would think of the fact that the senior might be taking off his clothes.
Zuo Xuanyi added: "Actually, I have a very good temper. If you don't believe me, you can ask Kai Yin, my temper is really not bad."
"I know." Xiao Yunwei was silent for a while, and then asked softly: "Senior, you just said that you have been preparing for a long time, what have you prepared for?"
"Oh……"
The ending sound is sexy and provocative, stopping at the tip of my heart.
Xiao Yunwei waited for the answer, but Zuo Xuanyi persistently said that he had started to prepare after returning from Penghu, and even called the reservation department to make a reservation. The lady in the reservation department had a hard time communicating...
"So, senior, what have you prepared?"
"Wine, fruit, snacks." Zuo Xuanyi paused for a moment before saying in that extremely nasal voice, "And my carefully prepared confession,"
Xiao Yunwei was taken aback for a moment, but before he could reply, he heard his senior complaining repeatedly.
Uh, or rather, a confession.
"In the end, you couldn't say that you came to Taichung, which made me secretly prepare for so long. I didn't take pride in being favored. I have a good personality and a good temper, and everyone can testify! I like you, so I am very unhappy when you contradict me. Do you think you are deliberately against me, do you not care about me at all..."
Probably because of drinking, Zuo Xuanyi talked further and further away, and the topic suddenly became about the quilt, how soft the pillow is too low, but don't worry, I have booked a room besides the one you booked.If you reject me, I will sleep in another room hahahaha!
While Zuo Xuanyi was talking, he seemed about to get out of bed, when the other end of the microphone heard a sound from the mattress.
Xiao Yunwei was a little nervous, partly because his senior confessed to him inarticulately, and partly because his senior was drunk and not lying down, where else would he want to go?
"Senior? Where are you going?"
"Go to the next room and have a look, I want her to put champagne too. Yao Shiqian said it's hard to fall asleep after a broken relationship, so I ordered champagne..."
Xiao Yunwei heard the suspected sound of unlocking the lock, and quickly shouted: "Senior!"
"what?"
"Go back to bed and lie down,"
"But champagne..." Zuo Xuanyi sounded hesitant, but he stopped and didn't continue to open the lock.
"How about I go to Taichung now? We can drink champagne together."
"real?"
"Really." Xiao Yunwei coaxed repeatedly, "Go back to bed and lie down, don't go out, do you hear me?"
"Um……"
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yunwei changed his clothes, grabbed his keys, jumped into a taxi, and rushed to the last high-speed train bound for Taichung.It was past twelve o'clock when we arrived at the hotel.
He showed the counter the e-mail he had used to book the room for the senior, the transfer record, and a certificate to prove that he was really an employee of the tenant.
The waiter called the guest room to verify at his request, but no one answered the phone.Xiao Yunwei had no choice but to say embarrassingly: "It should be that the senior fell asleep after drinking and couldn't answer the phone. Can you go and open the door with me?"
But when he opened the door with the waiter, he saw that the room was still tidy, and there was no one there.
Xiao Yunwei was a little flustered, thinking that his senior was so drunk, where did he go?
The waiter was quite calm, turned around and asked Xiao Yunwei: "Mr. Zuo also booked a room under his own name, will it be there?"
Xiao Yunwei glanced at the clean and tidy sheets, guessing that maybe his senior went to the wrong room from the beginning.I have to admit that this is indeed his senior's style of doing things...
He nodded after taking a deep breath, and followed the waiter to another room.
As soon as he opened the door, Xiao Yunwei saw his senior lying on the bed, with a half-empty bottle of champagne and a bag of biscuits on the table.
He walked towards Zuo Xuanyi and gently shook him awake. "Senior?"
Zuo Xuanyi opened his eyes and looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "Xiao Yunwei."
"Yes, I'm in Taichung."
Zuo Xuanyi nodded, said "OK", then tilted his head and continued to sleep.
Xiao Yunwei wanted to shake him awake again, but the waiter said to him: Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry.Because this room was booked by Mr. Zuo, and the room you booked for Mr. Zuo is next door. Mr. Zuo looks drunk... If possible, I still hope you can sleep in the next room.
Xiao Yunwei thought for a while, and asked the waiter to wait for him at the door for a minute. The door didn't need to be closed, and he would go out after waiting.
As soon as the waiter left, Xiao Yunwei shook his senior again, and when Zuo Xuanyi woke up, he immediately said, "Senior, do you know who I am?"
Zuo Xuanyi blinked, and managed to squeeze out an answer: "...Xiao Yunwei."
"I've arrived at the hotel, but I can only live next door to you."
"Oh..." Zuo Xuanyi nodded, and patted the empty space beside him feebly, "Okay, sleep next door."
Xiao Yunwei gave up the plan to wake Zuo Xuanyi up, he turned off the bedside lamp for him, and whispered in Zuo Xuanyi's ear who was about to fall asleep again: "Also, senior, I actually like you too."
At nine o'clock in the morning, when the daily alarm clock rings, Zuo Xuanyi subconsciously presses it off first, then stays in bed, and waits for the ringtone in 10 minutes.
When the alarm clock rang for the second time, I still pressed it and continued to stay in bed, waiting for the ringtone after 10 minutes.
When the alarm clock rings for the third time, you have to get up, and you will be late.
But today's third alarm clock came immediately after the second alarm clock, and it was so loud that people wanted to drop their phones.
Zuo Xuanyi touched the phone, opened his eyes, and saw that what appeared on the screen was not the alarm clock notification, but the caller ID.
The caller was still the protagonist in his dream last night, Xiao Yunwei.
Zuo Xuanyi wiped his face, cleared his throat, waved away the sweetness of his dream, and managed to pick up the phone, "Morning!"
A very energetic "Morning" came from the other end of the phone, and Zuo Xuanyi then asked, "It's so early? What's in the company... Wait, I have a headache... How much did I drink yesterday..."
"Half a bottle of champagne."
"It seems to be about the same," Zuo Xuanyi propped his forehead with one hand, glanced at the champagne bottle on the table, and said with a wry smile, "Your guess is really accurate."
"I didn't guess, senior,"
Zuo Xuanyi heard the sound of unlocking and closing the door from the other side, thinking that Xiao Yunwei probably wanted to go back to the small conference room to tell him some secrets.He sat upright and listened carefully, but he heard Xiao Yunwei say a sentence of unclear meaning.
"I saw it with my own eyes."
"Ah? Wait, someone rings the doorbell, probably the waiter." Zuo Xuanyi lifted the quilt, pulled the wrinkled shirt, got out of bed and walked to the door.
He moved closer to the cat's eyes and blinked, a little hard to believe what he saw.
Zuo Xuanyi hung up the phone, opened the door, and shouted in surprise, "Xiao Yunwei? Why are you in Taichung?"
Xiao Yunwei put away his mobile phone, stared at him and said: "Because the senior called me last night and said something to me, I took the last bus to Taichung. I asked the accountant in the morning, and he said that he can reimburse the account with the ticket and invoice. , tell me to remind the seniors not to lose the ticket."
"I won't lose it, okay, no," Zuo Xuanyi saw the other party's upright expression, and didn't look like it.
Yang Kaiyin who passed by him patted him on the shoulder, persuading the boss like a close friend, "There is no rush to have a boyfriend."
At first, Xiao Yunwei thought he heard it wrong, after all, he was in a small conference room, a little far away from the counter.But the switchboard sister also said, "Yes, yes, boss, there is no grass anywhere in the world, you have to trust our company's feng shui. Look, I found a boyfriend as soon as I joined the company."
Zuo Xuanyi listened to the two talking to each other, and after a while he said, "But Yao Shiqian doesn't have a boyfriend."
Yao Shiqian, who was named, shouted: "I don't need a boyfriend! What I need is a girlfriend!"
Yang Kaiyin immediately replied, "When love finds you, it doesn't matter whether you want a man or a woman, you have to fall anyway."
Xiao Yunwei didn't bother to care what Yao Shiqian yelled again, he only cared about whether he might have misunderstood something.He got up, poured a glass of water, and walked towards the gossip crowd.
As soon as Zuo Xuanyi saw him, he pointed to him and said, "Xiao Yunwei didn't either."
Yang Kaiyin didn't say anything, she just smiled mysteriously.The sister of the switchboard protested that Xiao Yunwei had only been here for a long time, so it can't be counted, Feng Shui also needs some time.
Xiao Yunwei coughed, pretending that he didn't hear anything just now, and immediately asked, "What are you talking about?"
"The boss's friend left him and got a boyfriend first, he was very sad." Yang Kaiyin patted Zuo Xuanyi on the shoulder, and continued: "He always thought that he would get a boyfriend earlier than Chen Jinghuan when he was out in the public eye. , I didn’t expect Chen Jinghuan to find a boyfriend at home.”
"Don't talk like I'm not there," Zuo Xuanyi protested dumbfounded, "And you guys just help me out like this..."
"The whole company knows about this, why don't you let Xiao Yunwei know?" Yao Shiqian walked up to the boss with a mug in his hand, and turned to ask Xiao Yunwei, "Will you have any objections to the boss because of sexual orientation?"
"The point is not that..."
Zuo Xuanyi's protest was ignored, and Xiao Yunwei looked at the people in front of him staring at him, wondering what they were doing.
If they were afraid that Zuo Xuanyi would be disliked by his colleagues if he came out, they shouldn't discuss this in public.
If you want to know whether your colleagues are sexually discriminated against, you can just ask them without disclosing the boss's sexuality.
Xiao Yunwei pondered for a while before saying, "I won't have any objections to anyone because of my sexual orientation, but I don't think it's a good way for you to disclose your boss' sexual orientation like this. If the boss himself really minds."
"You really have something to say..." Yao Shiqian blinked with a complicated expression.
"What he said is fair!" Zuo Xuanyi squeezed away Yao Shiqian, who was standing between him and Xiao Yunwei, put his shoulders on Xiao Yunwei's shoulder and continued: "And if he minds, just now Jing Huan and his little brother If the boyfriend keeps flashing, he will speak straight. Yunwei is not the kind of person who expresses his friendship with you but talks nonsense in private."
"You're really protecting yourself..." Yang Kaiyin took a sip of coffee, smiled mysteriously and returned to her seat.While walking, he said, "Okay, okay, I hope you will have a boyfriend and a wife bento soon, but it's just a wife bento hahaha."
Zuo Xuanyi leaned close to Xiao Yunwei's ear, and said as if complaining: "Tell you, Kai Yin's boyfriend gets off work at [-] o'clock every day to help her cook love dinner, of course she thinks it's nothing!"
"Yes, senior, you told me."
"Did I say that?" Zuo Xuanyi raised his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember..."
"I remember everything the senior said to me."
"So powerful?" Zuo Xuanyi looked a little frightened, "Really remember?"
"Really." Xiao Yunwei said seriously: "Senior said before that he would come to my house in a year to check whether it is still tidy. Because of this sentence, I mop the floor after get off work every day."
"Really, do you still have the energy to mop the floor after get off work?" Yao Shiqian asked in shock, "Don't you go to sleep after get off work?"
"Of course it's fake, whoever mops the floor every day, you have a sense of humor, okay?" Zuo Xuanyi patted his assistant on the shoulder and said with a smile: "But his house is really clean, so I want to move there Living."
"Senior has servants at home, why don't you go back to your hometown."
Yao Shiqian was beaten again by the boss. Zuo Xuanyi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just telling you that my father and I still have a little piss. I don't want to be embarrassed every day, okay? I'm talking about you. Listen!"
"Oh, I'm not like Xiao Yunwei who remembers everything," Yao Shiqian jogged back to his seat with his mouth pursed, "I'm only responsible for memorizing business matters."
"Fart, do you still remember that there are servants in my hometown!"
Xiao Yunwei looked at the conversation between the two who were getting more and more childish, and couldn't help but stop it, so as to prevent the conversation from continuing. "Senior, do you want to go to Taichung by yourself this afternoon? Or do you want me to go with you?"
Zuo Xuanyi slumped his shoulders and said, "I'll just go by myself. I don't know if Yang Ruihua will regret coming to the company this afternoon and lose his nerve. If he comes, I'd better trouble you to wake him up."
Xiao Yunwei nodded, and when the senior added in a low voice, "If Mrs. Yang is here, I will leave it to the switchboard sister to perfuse her. The switchboard sister is very experienced." He took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Zuo Xuanyi.
"What is this?" Zuo Xuanyi opened the notebook, blushed after turning a few pages, and quickly put it in his pocket. "You did it?"
"Well, it's just a Taichung City-limited version this time. I'll give you the versions for each county and city when the senior comes back." Seeing that the other party put the notes he had organized into his pocket, Xiao Yunwei smiled: "If the senior comes back this time If you accidentally arrive in Kaohsiung, just follow the plan from last time."
"I won't..." Zuo Xuanyi suddenly lost his voice in the middle of speaking, and after a while, he turned to complain to himself: "Forget it, don't talk too early, maybe what will happen when you come to Tainan this time."
"Then call me." Xiao Yunwei pointed to the pocket that contained the notebook, and said, "The third page is my mobile phone number, even if you lose your mobile phone, you can still call me."
"Keep down." Zuo Xuanyi's face was still red, he gestured for silence, and asked in a low voice, "When did you do it?"
"I just waited for Yang Ruihua to do it in my spare time." Xiao Yunwei smiled and said, "I hope it will only be a tool for preparedness, and it won't really come in handy."
Zuo Xuanyi shook his head and replied seriously: "I think at least one page will be used, really. Thank you."
Xiao Yunwei only smiled, and when the senior turned back to the office and was about to leave for Taichung, he walked back to the door of the small meeting room.
He looked at the back of the senior rummaging around in the office, guessing whether the other party was looking for a ticket or data, and responded softly in his heart: If at least one page will be used, I hope you can choose to call me.
When the eighth egg was sacrificed heroically, Chu Shaohe finally couldn't help reminding his friends, "Well, do you want to turn the fire down?"
After Xiao Yunwei washed the pot, he dried his hands and picked up the tablet to re-read the recipes on the Internet. "...Well, it's true that the fire is going to be turned down, but I didn't see it."
"Are you so stupid because you ate your boss's saliva... Don't stare at me, I can't tell the truth?" Chu Shaohe pointed to the wasted eggs in the trash can, and asked with some distress: "Do you think you are still alive?" How many times will it fail?"
"I don't know, it should be almost successful." Xiao Yunwei hurriedly finished beating the egg and picked up the eggshell with his chopsticks. His tone was rare guilty, "The recipe looks very easy, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to execute."
Chu Shaohe nodded in agreement: "He Yujin also told me last time that that pose looked easy, but I almost slipped to my waist."
Xiao Yunwei continued to beat eggs in silence, not intending to answer at all.
Chu Shaohe doesn't care if people answer or not, he can talk for half an hour by himself. "I said, why are you making bento? Isn't it faster to buy it outside? You even called to borrow the kitchen... What, do you want to get married?"
Xiao Yunwei added some mayonnaise and broth to the bowl, continued to stir, and ignored Chu Shaohe.
"When He Yujin heard you say that the dormitory kitchen is too small, and he wanted to borrow the kitchen, he thought he had heard it wrong. He is actually a pretty good guy, except for his exaggerated possessiveness. When you said that he wanted to borrow the kitchen, he didn't even think about it. If I think about it, I agree, and there will be a refrigerator of vegetables as well.”
Chu Shaohe handed over the sugar bowl, and continued, "Normally, the kitchen is Madam Wang's domain. If you come, she will have to take a holiday. I will rely on you today, don't make me starve to death at home."
"I try my best."
As soon as Chu Shaohe received the response, he immediately spoke more vigorously, "Why do you want to learn how to make bento? Can't you tell me? Just tell me a little bit. Don't look at me like this. I usually read mystery novels. You just need to say a little and I can deduce it, believe it or not? I will look like Sherlock Holmes, "
"My senior wants to eat my beloved wife's bento."
"...and Conan...what did you say?" Chu Shaohe blinked, "Did I hear wrong or did you say wrong? Beloved Wife Bento?"
"You heard me right, and I'm not mistaken, he wants a wife's bento. A wife's bento with omelet, octopus sausage, fried rice with diced corn and ham, and a little cauliflower."
"Why is there a wife bento with such a clear menu..."
Xiao Yunwei didn't say it, that was the standard answer he got from asking Chen Jinghuan in an email that day.Chen Jinghuan also attached a recipe, suggesting to start practicing from blanching cauliflower.
Although he was a bit reluctant, he had been busy all morning, except that the broth was easily boiled and the cauliflower was cooked smoothly, and the octopus sausage failed nine times before it succeeded, making every foot look exactly the same.
Tried the fried rice once and it was ok but the rice was mushy and a bit soggy.
The omelet has failed four times, hope not to break the record for the octopus bratwurst.
Xiao Yunwei put down the bowl, carefully distributed the oil evenly on the bottom of the pot, and poured egg juice on it.
After a while, the edge of the egg juice showed some signs of being cooked, Xiao Yunwei pretended that he didn't hear Chu Shaohe's nonsense, and slid the chopsticks into the bottom of the egg intently, and rolled it up gently.
Chu Shaohe, who was standing aside, was still saying, "Could it be that your boss asked you to learn from the menu? No, the point is that you are actually a beloved wife? God, I don't accept this image!"
After Xiao Yunwei rolled the eggs to the same side, dipped the oil again to distribute them evenly on the bottom of the pan, and poured the egg juice.
While waiting intently, he replied to Chu Shaohe, "If you keep arguing, we can only order delivery at noon."
Chu Shaohe was silent for a few minutes, and waited until Xiao Yunwei finished making an omelette that seemed not very cooked in the middle, and then said: "You didn't succeed even if I shut up..."
"Take a bite and see."
"...What should I do if I have diarrhea after eating?"
"Then go to the toilet and do it quietly, don't disturb me here." Xiao Yunwei put the plate on the table, and stuffed the chopsticks into Chu Shaohe's hands. "eat."
Chu Shaohe picked up the omelet, closed his eyes heroically, took a bite, and chewed. "...It's quite delicious."
Xiao Yunwei nodded with a smile, and said, "As long as you don't have diarrhea within two hours, this dish should be fine."
Chu Shaohe, who was chewing the second omelet, was silent for a few seconds. After swallowing the omelet, he immediately asked gossip, "Why did your boss say he wanted to eat his beloved wife's bento? Did he tell you? you say?"
Xiao Yunwei knew that his complexion must be ugly, because Chu Shaohe stuffed an omelet into his mouth, and quietly played the role of a literary youth who might have diarrhea later on.
He cleaned up the kitchen and dried the rag before saying, "He said it while lying on my shoulder, but the target of that sentence should be the whole company. If someone cooks, he eats it."
"I don't think it's that simple," Chu Shaohe shook his head, and the literary youth turned into a gossip writer. "Maybe he's hinting at you, as long as you cook it and send it over, he'll confess to you."
Xiao Yunwei stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said, "Probably not. By the way, where is your guest room? I want to sleep for a while."
Chu Shaohe pointed to the second floor and said, "I'll take you there. What are you doing? You didn't sleep well yesterday? Don't you want to go to bed after lunch?"
"Please call for a delivery, and wake me up when you come." Xiao Yunwei followed behind Chu Shaohe, and said as he walked, "The day before yesterday, my senior ran to Penghu because of the mess of an employee. He said that night there It’s super boring, I’m tired of looking at the sea view, so I called and chatted with me, and we talked until almost one o’clock every day before going to bed. He said yesterday that he didn’t have to go to work on the weekend, so he talked until almost two o’clock...”
"That's it... wait, it's not right!" Chu Shaohe stood at the door of the guest room, suddenly turned around and put his arms around Xiao Yunwei's shoulders, and shouted loudly: "This is the prelude to dating, right? Calling the hotline every day or something! Obviously nothing happened It takes three hours of phone calls to talk about big things, and more than half of the content is nonsense.”
"What my senior said is not nonsense."
"Ah? I want to talk to you about business..." Chu Shaohe slumped his shoulders, looking weak.
"Talk about what happened when he was a child, and the revolution he had with his family because of the landscape." Xiao Yunwei took a deep breath and rubbed the corners of his eyes again, "Can I go to sleep?"
Chu Shaohe opened the door, pointed to the bed, and said when Xiao Yunwei was sitting on the edge of the bed: "I also think what your boss said is not nonsense."
"It wasn't originally."
"He is dating you without knowing it. He thinks he is talking nonsense, but he is talking about love." Chu Shaohe closed the door and went downstairs while roaring, "My classmate actually used the name of the kitchen to blind me. Really! Xiao Yunwei, I want to swipe your card to buy four pizzas until I vomit!"
Sitting on the bed, Xiao Yunwei first confirmed that the wallet was in his pocket, then covered his face, and couldn't help laughing.
At noon two days later, Zuo Xuanyi returned to the company with a large amount of Penghu delicacies.When everyone was eating, he announced that the case was over and that there was no problem with the master. After that, he only needed to check the progress once a week.
Yang Kaiyin pushed the colleague who got out of the bag, and said to him: "Hurry up, thank you senior for saving the case."
The colleague bowed his head nervously and shouted: "Thank you senior! Senior, may I treat you to dinner?"
Xiao Yunwei who was walking out of the small conference room raised his eyebrows, only to see Zuo Xuanyi smiled and said no need, just remember not to do it again next time.
Zuo Xuanyi was also sharp-eyed, and when he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yunwei standing at the door and looking at him.He raised his hands and yelled at Xiao Yunwei: "We agreed to eat hot pot in the evening, don't run home by yourself after get off work!"
"Wait," Yao Shiqian chewed the brown sugar cake, and asked solemnly, "Senior, you send us away with this, and then go to eat hot pot with Xiao Yunwei?"
"What are you sending? Hey, I have been carrying it very hard!" Zuo Xuanyi pointed to the food on the table, and then said: "There are also ice products, but they melted when I brought them back, so I sent them back. Wait until the cactus ice arrives. Don't eat it when it's time!"
"Senior! Boss! I was wrong!"
Everyone quarreled for a while, and the days of being overwhelmed by the case finally had something to do. Yao Shiqian took advantage of the boss's seemingly good mood, and added: "Why don't we go eat hot pot together?"
Zuo Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, Yang Kaiyin went on to say that it was inconvenient for her not to say it in advance, otherwise tomorrow?
The switchboard sister kept up with the topic and said, "Yes, we haven't had dinner together for a long time. Everyone is so busy. I also think it would be nice to have a hot pot together someday."
"Boss, don't worry, the accountant said that you can pay for the dinner party!"
Zuo Xuanyi licked his lips and hesitated for a while before saying: "It's not a question of whether to pay the bill or not. I made an appointment with Xiao Yunwei when I was in Penghu. Today I will eat hot pot, tomorrow I will go to the night market, and the day after tomorrow I will eat Japanese food. ..."
Seeing everyone staring at him silently, Xiao Yunwei sighed, and said: "Otherwise, senior, let's go to the night market first today, and tomorrow we all go to eat hot pot together?"
Holding a piece of brown sugar cake, Yao Shiqian protested: "Why do you only ask Xiao Yunwei, at least you also ask me, senior, I'm your assistant!"
Yang Kaiyin picked up another piece of brown sugar cake and stuffed it into Yao Shiqian's mouth, and said, "Who bought the round-trip ticket to Penghu? Who booked the transportation over there? Who booked the hotel? You have the nerve to say that you are an assistant."
"Senior Yao happened to be busy at that time, so I just took over to help." Xiao Yunwei smiled at Yao Shiqian who nodded fiercely: "It's a small matter."
"So you ordered it," Zuo Xuanyi wanted to squeeze to Xiao Yunwei's side, but he swayed in order to avoid the switchboard sister who was reaching for the peanut candy.Xiao Yunwei quickly supported him, took his arm and brought him to his side.
Zuo Xuanyi felt a little hot on his face, he coughed, and then said: "I still feel strange, why Yao Shiqian is so considerate this time, not only asked the owner of the hotel to pick me up at the airport, but also the car. The car is the store's car. Kailai B&B gave it to me, it’s the same model as my car, with a map attached! If I had known, I wouldn’t have bought him another portion of peanut candied scallop sauce…”
Yao Shiqian howled miserably, but Yang Kaiyin blocked his mouth with brown sugar cake again.
Zuo Xuanyi waved his hand to signal everyone to continue eating, and he had to go home to pack his luggage and take a shower. "After a few days of sea breeze, I feel that the whole body is covered with sea salt. Wait for it to be warmed, and it will probably be ready to serve."
His words made everyone laugh out loud, except Xiao Yunwei who blinked and didn't smile.
Zuo Xuanyi bumped Xiao Yunwei with his elbow and asked, "Isn't it funny?"
Xiao Yunwei glanced at him, and said seriously: "I'm thinking about how to arrange the plate."
"Oh, it's not bad, it will be funny." Zuo Xuanyi patted Xiao Yunwei's shoulder, smiled and took the car keys and was about to go out. "I'll call and make an appointment with you after I'm done. It's a night market anyway, so there's no need to make a reservation."
Xiao Yunwei nodded, and the two went about their business.
It wasn't until after two o'clock that Zuo Xuanyi called and asked which night market he would like to invite, and Xiao Yunwei asked, "Senior, why don't we go eat Japanese food today?"
"Ah? It's not impossible...why don't you eat the night market?"
On the other end of the microphone came some crackling sounds, like a glass bottle hitting a mug.Xiao Yunwei didn't speculate much, just whispered: "Senior, you have lost a lot of weight, and you look very tired. Going to the night market is very exhausting."
"It's exhausting. I must be crazy to ask for such an early flight. I almost fell asleep after taking a shower." After Zuo Xuanyi finished speaking, he probably stretched his waist and uttered a low moan Then he continued, "Then follow the original plan? Go to the restaurant near Zhongshan Station?"
"I'll wait to make a reservation, seven o'clock, okay?"
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, and I won't go back to the company. I'll set the alarm clock for six o'clock. If you can't make it right, tell me after six o'clock. I should have the energy to go shopping at the night market after I sleep. "
"it is good."
After that, Xiao Yunwei made a reservation, finished work on time at [-]:[-], and clocked off work.
When he got on the MRT, he called his senior.The bell rang for a long time before it ended, and when the phone was picked up, Zuo Xuanyi's voice was full of exhaustion.
"Senior?"
"...Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep again..." Zuo Xuanyi took a deep breath, sounding like he was trying to wake up.
"Or should the senior continue to sleep? I'll buy dinner there?" Xiao Yunwei picked a few restaurants that the senior liked in his mind, thinking about which one was closer to the MRT.
Zuo Xuanyi originally said it was good, but he didn't know what he thought of, but suddenly changed his mind and said: No, I'll take a taxi there, I'd better eat steak.
"Wouldn't it be too much?"
"I don't force it," Zuo Xuanyi said with a smile, "I've been dreaming of eating hot pot and steak with you these days. I don't force it at all!"
Xiao Yunwei also laughed. "Then see you at seven?"
"Um!"
After eating delicious food for several days in a row, the three meals are normal plus an afternoon tea.Zuo Xuanyi couldn't help teasing that his flesh had grown back when he and Xiao Yunwei walked along the underground shopping mall of the department store after eating the teppanyaki.
Xiao Yunwei glanced at the apple smoothie in his senior's hand, swallowed a sentence of complaints and said, "It's okay."
"A few years ago, my brother was busy with work and had a lot of entertainment, so his belly protruded. He used to be a school grass, and the extra belly is still terrible. I definitely can't grow a belly."
Xiao Yunwei asked with a smile, "Then, did senior consider going to the gym?"
"You want to accompany me? Otherwise, I will never remember which day I am going to. It is easier to control my diet." Zuo Xuanyi testified: "Chen Jinghuan doesn't exercise very much, and his body is still similar to that in college."
"Actually, it's not difficult to control your diet. If no one is watching, it's easy to overeat if you don't pay attention."
Zuo Xuanyi licked his lips, took a sip of the smoothie, and then continued, "I also feel that someone needs to be watching. Well, that, I'm going to Taichung for a business trip tomorrow, and you're going too? There are too many delicious foods in Taichung..."
Xiao Yunwei was silent for a while, and Zuo Xuanyi continued, "And didn't you say you wanted to see that opera house last time? We can drop by to see it."
Listening to the senior next to him, Xiao Yunwei continued to say, "Ah, there is also Miyahara Ophthalmology Department, the remodeling is not bad, the ice is delicious, it's true...", knowing that the other party is serious about asking him to go.
He thought for a while and said softly, "I really want to agree, but there will be a meeting tomorrow morning, and I need to report the progress of the case I'm in charge of."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunwei saw his senior pouted, looking a little disappointed.Although he was a little soft-hearted and wanted to just agree, anyway, the senior was only there for a day, so it shouldn't be a problem to ask for leave.
But that's not something he would do.
Xiao Yunwei thought for a while, and after thinking about it, he was about to propose, "Otherwise, I'll take the high-speed train there after get off work." Zuo Xuanyi had already jumped to the next topic, pointed to the ice cream counter next to him and said, oh my god, that ice cream looks so delicious!
Missing the opportunity, Xiao Yunwei had no choice but to chat along the topic.
Xiao Yunwei didn't think it was a big deal at first.
Seniors often go on business trips, and the reason is simple: clients especially like the boss to come and talk about matters in person, because they have a feeling that "the case is very honorable" when they see the boss.
Fortunately, Zuo Xuanyi was also willing to go to the scene to control all the progress, but it was hard for the assistant, and there were too many things to deal with before and after the business trip.
But recently Zuo Xuanyi seldom asks Yao Shiqian to go with him.
From Yao Shiqian's worry at the beginning to his reassurance now, the most important contribution is Xiao Yunwei's help notes from various places.
On the day when Zuo Xuanyi went to Taichung for a business trip, Xiao Yunwei began to keep his mobile phone close to him at around five o'clock in the afternoon, fearing that his senior would call and he would miss it.
But he waited and waited, had dinner after work, even put his phone in a plastic bag and took it into the bathroom to take a shower, Zuo Xuanyi didn't call.
Not even a message.
Xiao Yunwei was a little worried, but he couldn't find a reason to call.After thinking for a long time, I thought of asking the senior if he remembered to control his diet. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.
He hesitated for a while and decided not to call. After all, it was a bit late, maybe the senior was just too tired and went to bed after eating.
What's more, the senior has been to Taichung so many times, so it should be no problem.
Xiao Yunwei tossed and turned for half an hour, and when he was about to fall asleep, the phone rang suddenly.It was his senior's favorite English song, and it was naturally the ringtone for his senior's call.
Xiao Yunwei got up to answer the phone, and adjusted himself back to a sober state in the fastest time.
"Xiao, Xiao Yunwei, are you asleep?"
"Not yet, what's the matter?"
On the other end of the phone, apart from the sound of the senior drinking a drink, there was no noisy background sound.Xiao Yunwei thought to himself: It should be in a restaurant, right?
"Very good," Zuo Xuanyi laughed twice, and then said, "This way I won't drink alone..."
Drink alone?Xiao Yunwei listened for a while, only to realize that Zuo Xuanyi should be drinking. "...Senior, are you drinking by yourself?"
"Yeah, it's a pity not to drink!"
Xiao Yunwei was silent for a while, thinking that luckily the senior was just drinking in the restaurant alone, so nothing serious should happen.He took a deep breath before saying, "Go to bed after drinking, the car at noon tomorrow, right?"
"I've been preparing for so long, but I want to drink it by myself..."
Xiao Yunwei rolled his eyes, thinking otherwise, who else do you want to drink with?Yao Shiqian?Yao Shiqian's drinking capacity can be called a tragedy, how boring it is for you to drink together.
He got up and got out of bed, turned on the light and went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water.During this period, his senior kept talking to himself on the other end of the phone, probably talking drunk.
While Xiao Yunwei responded, he decided that if he was free next time, he would go with him.
Just after Xiao Yunwei sat on the sofa, Zuo Xuanyi, who finished speaking a series of vague words on the other end, suddenly raised his volume and asked, "Are you listening?"
"have."
Zuo Xuanyi dropped the complaint about drinking alone, and the topic suddenly turned to personal matters.
"Do you know? My brother said that I am proud of being favored, so I lose my temper with you all day long."
"...I don't know about that."
"Of course you don't know, I didn't say it..." Zuo Xuanyi laughed to himself for a long time before asking again: "What did I just say?"
"Speaking of your brother thinking that you are proud of being favored."
"Oh yes, I am proud of being favored."
Xiao Yunwei thought that Zuo Xuanyi was probably lying on the bed or sofa to make the sound of fabric rubbing against each other.
He didn't dare to think about it or speculate deeply, because he was afraid that he would think of the fact that the senior might be taking off his clothes.
Zuo Xuanyi added: "Actually, I have a very good temper. If you don't believe me, you can ask Kai Yin, my temper is really not bad."
"I know." Xiao Yunwei was silent for a while, and then asked softly: "Senior, you just said that you have been preparing for a long time, what have you prepared for?"
"Oh……"
The ending sound is sexy and provocative, stopping at the tip of my heart.
Xiao Yunwei waited for the answer, but Zuo Xuanyi persistently said that he had started to prepare after returning from Penghu, and even called the reservation department to make a reservation. The lady in the reservation department had a hard time communicating...
"So, senior, what have you prepared?"
"Wine, fruit, snacks." Zuo Xuanyi paused for a moment before saying in that extremely nasal voice, "And my carefully prepared confession,"
Xiao Yunwei was taken aback for a moment, but before he could reply, he heard his senior complaining repeatedly.
Uh, or rather, a confession.
"In the end, you couldn't say that you came to Taichung, which made me secretly prepare for so long. I didn't take pride in being favored. I have a good personality and a good temper, and everyone can testify! I like you, so I am very unhappy when you contradict me. Do you think you are deliberately against me, do you not care about me at all..."
Probably because of drinking, Zuo Xuanyi talked further and further away, and the topic suddenly became about the quilt, how soft the pillow is too low, but don't worry, I have booked a room besides the one you booked.If you reject me, I will sleep in another room hahahaha!
While Zuo Xuanyi was talking, he seemed about to get out of bed, when the other end of the microphone heard a sound from the mattress.
Xiao Yunwei was a little nervous, partly because his senior confessed to him inarticulately, and partly because his senior was drunk and not lying down, where else would he want to go?
"Senior? Where are you going?"
"Go to the next room and have a look, I want her to put champagne too. Yao Shiqian said it's hard to fall asleep after a broken relationship, so I ordered champagne..."
Xiao Yunwei heard the suspected sound of unlocking the lock, and quickly shouted: "Senior!"
"what?"
"Go back to bed and lie down,"
"But champagne..." Zuo Xuanyi sounded hesitant, but he stopped and didn't continue to open the lock.
"How about I go to Taichung now? We can drink champagne together."
"real?"
"Really." Xiao Yunwei coaxed repeatedly, "Go back to bed and lie down, don't go out, do you hear me?"
"Um……"
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yunwei changed his clothes, grabbed his keys, jumped into a taxi, and rushed to the last high-speed train bound for Taichung.It was past twelve o'clock when we arrived at the hotel.
He showed the counter the e-mail he had used to book the room for the senior, the transfer record, and a certificate to prove that he was really an employee of the tenant.
The waiter called the guest room to verify at his request, but no one answered the phone.Xiao Yunwei had no choice but to say embarrassingly: "It should be that the senior fell asleep after drinking and couldn't answer the phone. Can you go and open the door with me?"
But when he opened the door with the waiter, he saw that the room was still tidy, and there was no one there.
Xiao Yunwei was a little flustered, thinking that his senior was so drunk, where did he go?
The waiter was quite calm, turned around and asked Xiao Yunwei: "Mr. Zuo also booked a room under his own name, will it be there?"
Xiao Yunwei glanced at the clean and tidy sheets, guessing that maybe his senior went to the wrong room from the beginning.I have to admit that this is indeed his senior's style of doing things...
He nodded after taking a deep breath, and followed the waiter to another room.
As soon as he opened the door, Xiao Yunwei saw his senior lying on the bed, with a half-empty bottle of champagne and a bag of biscuits on the table.
He walked towards Zuo Xuanyi and gently shook him awake. "Senior?"
Zuo Xuanyi opened his eyes and looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "Xiao Yunwei."
"Yes, I'm in Taichung."
Zuo Xuanyi nodded, said "OK", then tilted his head and continued to sleep.
Xiao Yunwei wanted to shake him awake again, but the waiter said to him: Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry.Because this room was booked by Mr. Zuo, and the room you booked for Mr. Zuo is next door. Mr. Zuo looks drunk... If possible, I still hope you can sleep in the next room.
Xiao Yunwei thought for a while, and asked the waiter to wait for him at the door for a minute. The door didn't need to be closed, and he would go out after waiting.
As soon as the waiter left, Xiao Yunwei shook his senior again, and when Zuo Xuanyi woke up, he immediately said, "Senior, do you know who I am?"
Zuo Xuanyi blinked, and managed to squeeze out an answer: "...Xiao Yunwei."
"I've arrived at the hotel, but I can only live next door to you."
"Oh..." Zuo Xuanyi nodded, and patted the empty space beside him feebly, "Okay, sleep next door."
Xiao Yunwei gave up the plan to wake Zuo Xuanyi up, he turned off the bedside lamp for him, and whispered in Zuo Xuanyi's ear who was about to fall asleep again: "Also, senior, I actually like you too."
At nine o'clock in the morning, when the daily alarm clock rings, Zuo Xuanyi subconsciously presses it off first, then stays in bed, and waits for the ringtone in 10 minutes.
When the alarm clock rang for the second time, I still pressed it and continued to stay in bed, waiting for the ringtone after 10 minutes.
When the alarm clock rings for the third time, you have to get up, and you will be late.
But today's third alarm clock came immediately after the second alarm clock, and it was so loud that people wanted to drop their phones.
Zuo Xuanyi touched the phone, opened his eyes, and saw that what appeared on the screen was not the alarm clock notification, but the caller ID.
The caller was still the protagonist in his dream last night, Xiao Yunwei.
Zuo Xuanyi wiped his face, cleared his throat, waved away the sweetness of his dream, and managed to pick up the phone, "Morning!"
A very energetic "Morning" came from the other end of the phone, and Zuo Xuanyi then asked, "It's so early? What's in the company... Wait, I have a headache... How much did I drink yesterday..."
"Half a bottle of champagne."
"It seems to be about the same," Zuo Xuanyi propped his forehead with one hand, glanced at the champagne bottle on the table, and said with a wry smile, "Your guess is really accurate."
"I didn't guess, senior,"
Zuo Xuanyi heard the sound of unlocking and closing the door from the other side, thinking that Xiao Yunwei probably wanted to go back to the small conference room to tell him some secrets.He sat upright and listened carefully, but he heard Xiao Yunwei say a sentence of unclear meaning.
"I saw it with my own eyes."
"Ah? Wait, someone rings the doorbell, probably the waiter." Zuo Xuanyi lifted the quilt, pulled the wrinkled shirt, got out of bed and walked to the door.
He moved closer to the cat's eyes and blinked, a little hard to believe what he saw.
Zuo Xuanyi hung up the phone, opened the door, and shouted in surprise, "Xiao Yunwei? Why are you in Taichung?"
Xiao Yunwei put away his mobile phone, stared at him and said: "Because the senior called me last night and said something to me, I took the last bus to Taichung. I asked the accountant in the morning, and he said that he can reimburse the account with the ticket and invoice. , tell me to remind the seniors not to lose the ticket."
"I won't lose it, okay, no," Zuo Xuanyi saw the other party's upright expression, and didn't look like it.
