Dip in fire

Xu Huaiqian stared for a while: "Uh..."

He tentatively asked Zhong Ning: "You mean, call him?"

"Call me, he's back, I'm not... I can't find him yet." Zhong Ning let out a breath and didn't look at Xu Huai, "If you don't call Yang Jian, it will be the same as before. I complained for a long time at the dinner table, and every time I said it, it gave me a headache."

"Then you..." Xu Huai was a little dumb, he didn't know how to say this properly, he looked at Zhong Ning, and finally sighed, "You can just scream."

There was no clue on Zhong Ning's face, but Xu Huai was not sure if there was something wrong with him.Xu Huai looked all the way over and realized that Zhong Ning was an infatuated seed with tenacious vitality. As long as the sun rises and the sun shines on the earth, it can grow vigorously.

Evidence is everywhere, like weeds, for example, the bar's brand is still "Azure", for example, Zhong Ning got drunk the night he met Zhang Weilan.

Xu Huai pondered for a while, and could only say one sentence that was not comforting: "It doesn't matter if you yell, everyone is back, you can't hide."

"Yes." Zhong Ning picked up the phone on the sofa again, staring at the black screen, suddenly a little dazed, "You're right, I can't hide."

And can't escape.It's outrageous.

Zhong Ning clicked on the text message just sent by Zhang Weilan again, and suddenly smiled briefly: "It's just right, you can give me a step down."

——Lest Zhang Weilan insist on inviting him to dinner.It's better to be together than to be alone.

Zhong Ning laughed at himself in his heart: "Coward."

——Obviously knowing that it would be shameful to hide, he still didn't dare to get out of the hole directly. He had to grab a sack and cover his head to see the light.

"What steps?" Xu Huaiyun was confused.

"It's nothing." Zhong Ning looked up, then looked at Xu Huai and smiled, "I'll call him, turn around and ask Yang Jian when he will come back, and give me a confirmation letter so I can book a hotel."

As Zhong Ning said, he lowered his head and returned the message to Zhang Weilan.He typed fast, his fingertips were a little weak, as if they were floating on the screen of the phone: "Yang Jian will return to China at the end of the year, and Xu Huai and I want to get together, can you come?"

Zhang Weilan's message was answered in seconds: "I can go. I have set a time, just let me know two days in advance."

Xu Huai stared blankly at Zhong Ning, saw his phone vibrate twice, subconsciously asked in surprise, "You... have you finished contacting?"

"Yeah." After reading the text message, Zhong Ning threw the phone on the sofa and rubbed his face.

Xu Huai: "..."

Outsiders really can't understand these two people.Perhaps this is the evil fate, the so-called "cutting constantly, the reason is still chaotic."

Yang Jian returned to China on the day of New Year's Eve. He was afraid that he would be too busy when the New Year's Eve came, so the party was set on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.

No matter how you look at this time, it is a bit early. Zhong Ning thought that Zhang Weilan would be caught up in work and would not be able to come, but Zhang Weilan came back anyway.

Even if he gets caught up in work, he has to crawl back.Zhang Weilan is not sure, even if he stalks, Zhong Ning may not be willing to let him treat him to a meal.But gatherings are different, with a few friends together, it won't be ugly no matter what.

This is his chance.

So Zhang Weilan simply lived in the company for five days before finishing the work ahead of schedule and taking her annual leave early.

Chi Zicheng looked at his stubbled face, his head to toe slumped, and he had a headache: "You're just getting better, so you just do this?"

But there was no way, Chi Zicheng couldn't persuade him at all.Zhang Weilan is a complete lunatic.

Xiao Huan was on winter vacation, and often went to his company to deliver meals to Zhang Weilan.Every time I have to babble a few times, but Zhang Weilan never repents, and almost makes the little girl cry.

Fortunately.On the afternoon of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Weilan's plane landed, and he went to the agreed hotel with a bit of cold wind all over his body. ——to see Zhong Ning.

God gave him a reward, let him bump into Zhong Ning at the entrance of the restaurant.

Just as Zhong Ning got off the Harley, when he took off his helmet, he turned his face and saw Zhang Weilan.

Zhong Ning paused on his heels, swallowed a breath of cold air, consciously pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled at Zhang Weilan.

Goodbye is not as strenuous as last time, but it is still unavoidable that some problems will arise.

"Here we come." Zhong Ning said dryly.

"En." Zhang Weilan replied, he walked to Zhong Ning's side, walked into the restaurant with Zhong Ning side by side.

Zhong Ning was actually so close to him, so close that with just one more step, the shoulders of the two could lean together.

The atmosphere wasn't rigid, but it was somewhat inexplicably uncomfortable.

Zhong Ning glanced subconsciously out of the corner of his eye, just in time to meet Zhang Weilan's gaze, his eyes were about to hurt. ——Zhang Weilan turned her head and stared at his profile all the time.

Zhong Ning opened his mouth slightly, silently retracted his gaze, and lowered his head to stare at his toes.

Walking forward step by step, Zhong Ning said, "I reserved a private room on the second floor, and Xu Huai and Yang Jian have already arrived."

When going up the stairs, Zhong Ning took a step slowly and let Zhang Weilan go up first.If Zhang Weilan kept staring at his back behind him...he probably couldn't take it.

Zhang Weilan's eyes were very dark, and they seemed to be even darker than before.There always seems to be something hidden inside, as if at the end of the polar night, there is absolute loneliness, and some things that cannot be seen directly.

Zhong Ning followed Zhang Weilan upstairs, finally raised his eyes, and gave this man a careful look.

The back is still straight.The wide coat is propped up by the shoulders, and Zhang Weilan still looks good.

But he's a little too skinny.Zhong Ning frowned, thinking that Zhang Weilan's complexion was not very good, one could tell that he was very tired and tired.

Zhong Ning thought: "How long has it been? Is the illness still not cured?"

Pushing open the door of the private room, the two of them went in one after the other, facing the door was Yang Jian's head.

Yang Jian stood up straight away, walked over without saying a word, and gave Zhang Weilan and Zhong Ning a hug.

Zhang Weilan is like an unlucky log.

Zhong Ning smiled and punched Yang Jian: "You boy, why are you gaining weight again?"

"I've eaten too many hamburgers, I'm reminded." Yang Jian laughed, and sat down with Zhong Ning.

Zhang Weilan and Xu Huai nodded in greeting and sat down.

This is a small round table, because Xu Huai and Yang Jian came early, they were already sitting together, Zhong Ning could only sit next to Zhang Weilan.

But sitting next to each other may be better than sitting face to face to eat.

As Zhong Ning said, Yang Jian has indeed gained weight again.The young boy back then couldn't bear the ravages of time, and he was gradually growing into a ball.

Yang Jian patted the fat on his stomach, and since he hadn't seen Zhang Weilan for many years, he took Zhang Weilan first: "Zhang Weilan, what's the matter with you? You haven't seen a shadow in [-], and you're playing with the world? Have you forgotten all the brothers?"

"Sorry." Zhang Weilan smiled lightly, "These years..."

He secretly glanced at Zhong Ning: "I've been in the south all these years. As you know, I'm not very good at this, so don't pick on me."

"Yes." Xu Huai laughed, and patted Yang Jian's round belly, "You don't remember? Zhang Weilan used to be like this."

"It's true." Yang Jian said, "He used to be difficult to communicate with people, and it really hasn't changed at all."

Yang Jian poured the beer and pushed it to Zhang Weilan: "My buddies all know that you are just not good at expressing, but you actually have it in your heart, right?"

Zhang Weilan still smiled and didn't speak.

Zhong Ning stared at the glass of wine that Yang Jian pushed over, thinking: "It hasn't changed at all. It has obviously changed."

——Zhang Weilan is indeed eccentric and indifferent, but he never said "Sorry, I'm not good at it, don't pick on me."

Years of beatings in the society have made him smooth, not only Zhang Weilan, but also Zhong Ning.They are all.

The edges and corners of youth are slowly worn away and sharpened, and they are no longer harsh. Even if some things have not deteriorated, their appearance is different from before.

It's different.It's all different.

Zhong Ning was thinking wildly, Zhang Weilan had already downed a glass of wine.Yang Jian poured him another glass, and pushed a glass for Zhong Ning by the way: "I said Ning, don't just look at it, you can drink it too, come and go."

After a round of clinking glasses, no one left the bottom of the glass.Yang Jian wasn't satisfied yet, she stretched her neck and shouted towards the door: "Waiter."

A little girl came in within two seconds.

Yang Jian said, "One more dozen beers. Then another bottle of Red Star Erguotou."

"Erguotou?" Zhong Ning was stunned for a moment, "Why are you still drinking Erguotou?"

"I'm hungry." Yang Jian said twice, "I vomited from drinking foreign wine abroad...beer swells my stomach."

"That's right." Yang Jian stretched out his hand and nodded Zhong Ning, "I'm sick of foreign wine, so I won't go to your bar to send money this year, anyway, your business is good."

"Of course you come for free." Zhong Ning smiled and glared at Yang Jian, "Nonsense."

"Have you opened a bar?" Zhang Weilan suddenly asked beside her.

Zhong Ning turned his head and replied: "Well, yes, it has been open for a long time. Xu Huai helped me, and the business is not bad."

"It's pretty good." Zhang Weilan glanced at Xu Huai, suddenly a little inexplicably, he was so jealous.

——In these years Xu Huai could be by Zhong Ning's side, but he couldn't even stand a shadow.

Zhong Ning had a ghost in his heart, and didn't want Zhang Weilan to continue asking about the bar, so he quickly changed the subject: "Have you finished ordering the dishes?"

"Of course they're all ordered. Order a few first, and add more if it's not enough." Yang Jian said.

"Hey, by the way, where's Zhang Weilan? I haven't asked you yet." Yang Jian said again, "Look at you, you look pretty good, haven't you done well in the past few years? When you were studying, you were the smartest. "

"Don't make fun of me." Zhang Weilan said in a standard way, "It's just ordinary work, nothing."

"Okay, be humble." Yang Jian gave Zhang Weilan a thumbs up.

The waiter opened the door and the wine was served.

Yang Jian opened the baijiu and poured himself a glass first.Xu Huai wrinkled his nose, glanced at Zhong Ning, then at Zhang Weilan, and said to Yang Jian, "Or else Zhong Ning should stop drinking white wine."

"Huh? What?" Yang Jian asked.

Xu Huai pointed at Zhong Ning with disdain: "You still don't know him? With his drinking capacity and the quality of the wine, beer is enough. If he mixes the wine, he can't go out tonight? No way He is drunk, the price is too high, he will die."

Zhong Ning: "..."

Yang Jian laughed loudly, waved his hands and said, "Okay, I'd rather not drink if I don't drink. Anyway, the four of us eat to have fun, and we don't pay much attention to wine."

Zhong Ning didn't know which tendon he had, so he opened his mouth subconsciously, probably because the light above his head was bright and white, which made Zhang Weilan's face look extremely miserable: "You shouldn't drink white too."

Zhang Weilan was too stunned, as if he couldn't believe that Zhong Ning said this to him.

Zhong Ning couldn't see him like this, turned his face away and grinned and continued: "Zhang Weilan was still sick a while ago, be careful not to delay me tonight, and carry him to the hospital instead."

"You put it that way..." Yang Jian looked at Zhang Weilan carefully, "His complexion is indeed not very good-looking."

"Okay, I'll drink with you." Xu Huai poured himself a glass of white, silently glanced at Zhong Ning, and sighed inwardly.
