Liuxiang

In the early summer afternoon, even the birds on the treetops beside the road were a bit tired.

The sun shines through the layers of leaves, sprinkled on the ground in the mountains like pieces of gold, and the bird food scattered on the ground at random feeds the sparrows staying in the back garden so smooth, they jump on the ground in groups, completely ignoring The people passing by are thinking about the fat goldfish in the pool.

Shang Huaiyan sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, looked at the sparrows and goldfish outside, and sighed deeply.

In the past, the honey on the flowers in the game has become the tears shed while guarding the empty bed alone at night... He has no expression on his face, showing the style of doing serious things and doing great things, summing up experience, accumulating lessons, and making a detailed reflection report: [-]. God The opponent is not scary, but the pig teammates.

Second, black history is undesirable.

[-]. Any danger must be seriously killed in the seedling state!

[-]. Baitang seems to really understand me very well. As soon as I think about it, he must be aware of it very quickly and probably... bump into him right away?

Shang Huaiyan's heart was pounding, and he was very distressed. He just felt that it was a bit...

Suddenly, with a "click", the door of the room on the second floor opened suddenly.

Yi Baitang changed into casual clothes, walked down the stairs slowly, passed Shang Huaiyan slowly, opened the door and walked out slowly.

Shang Huaiyan immediately threw the troubles just now out of the blue.

Shang Huaiyan immediately stood up from the sofa, quickly followed Yi Baitang, looked at the mirror in the living room secretly, and then turned his face with a handsome smile: "Baitang, where are you going? I just happen to be fine today, so I will give you a ride— —”

Yi Baitang: "Hmph."

Shang Huaiyan: "Aren't you going to have a tree? I haven't been there for a few days, so I just went to see if they are lazy when we are not here."

Yi Baitang: "Oh."

Shang Huaiyan babbled, and finally pushed Yi Baitang into the passenger seat.

He hurried around half the car, sat in the driver's seat, put his hands on the steering wheel, and took another deep, deep breath.

It's decided, the battle to curry favor with Baitang officially begins now!

Combat difficulty...super S rank!

Combat phase goal one... share the same bed again!

Estimated time for the battle...? ? ?

The weather in the past two days is just right, it is not too hot, it is very suitable for taking a nap in the afternoon.

Apart from the breathing of another person in the carriage, there is only the piano sound flowing from the speakers.

Yi Baitang squinted peacefully in the car for half an hour, and when he got out of the car again, he felt a little lazy just waking up, and even Shang Huaiyan leaned close to him, half pulling his hand. He didn't even care about taking him to the Youkeshu restaurant.

It wasn't until I entered the restaurant that I saw a stylishly dressed woman sitting at a table playing mobile games in the empty restaurant because it wasn't meal time. I just cheered up: "Aunt Zhou, why are you here?"

The high-heeled shoes that tapped the ground lightly kicked the table legs, and the chair carried the owner in a half-circle gracefully. Manager Zhou's face was exposed to the sun, full of energy and a smile: "You are so young, and you have lived better than me." Busy, I brought your contract, you messed around with Xiao Huang before, it was for this contract, right?"

Yi Baitang accepted the contract silently, scanned it up and down, saw that there was no problem, and handed it to Shang Huaiyan.

Shang Huaiyan quickly put it away.

Manager Zhou "knocked" the floor with his pointy shoes again: "The necklace you gave me is very nice, isn't it cheap?"

Yi Baitang: "I didn't give it to you."

Manager Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes turned to Shang Huaiyan.Relying on a woman's intuition, she quickly realized the real owner who gave the necklace, and she felt a little puzzled: the relationship between these two little guys seems a bit unusual, didn't they just know each other for less than half a year?Why is it so close... Could it be the legendary friend at first sight?

She thought about it a few times, but didn't pay much attention to it, and said with a smile, "Have you ever thanked someone for giving me such an expensive gift for you? I think you are preparing for the hotel rating recently, and you have a clue." ?"

Yi Baitang frowned: "Who told you?"

Once a person's state is improved, the mind will be cleared up.

Manager Zhou held his wits in his hands: "Such a simple matter still needs to be talked about? Your family is very easy to understand from old to young."

Yi Baitang frowned for a moment, then skipped the topic of family: "It's not going well. I contacted most of them, and I don't have any quota for this year."

Manager Zhou said calmly: "This is normal. There are so many restaurants opened every year, and everyone wants to be rated, but there are only a few gourmets who are recognized by the Chefs Association as eligible to vote for gourmets, and each person can only recommend one restaurant a year. Don't worry." Speaking of this year's edition, some gourmets have been booked out for next year... But I'm not here to tell you the bad news. I know that one gourmet must have a spot, are you interested?"

Yi Baitang's eyes fell on Manager Zhou in an instant: "Is the quota still in his hand?"

Manager Zhou: "It must still be there."

Yi Baitang: "What are the conditions?"

Manager Zhou: "No conditions, just cook him a meal and let him approve of you. Auntie is telling you this news because you have helped Auntie!"

Yi Baitang: "Thank you..."

Manager Zhou didn't wait for Yi Baitang to finish, and continued to add: "But there is a problem. This gourmet is my friend. Due to some psychological factors, he has temporarily lost his sense of taste."

Yi Baitang remained expressionless: "..."

Manager Zhou's tone was soothing: "Little Baitang, Auntie believes in you. If you can cure Auntie, you will definitely be able to cure this guy."

Yi Baitang said coldly: "I dare not be your thank you in the future."

Manager Zhou burst into laughter: "What's the matter? Don't you all pay attention to the experience of the heart? Auntie is providing you with samples for experimentation."

Yi Baitang didn't answer.

The sunlight easily illuminated the table near the window, and half of Yi Baitang and Manager Zhou, who were sitting opposite each other, were drawn in.

Since the two people asked and answered just now, Shang Huaiyan has always maintained a polite smile, but as time went by, he gradually became unhappy.

Been trying to move the subject to where I can't get in.

he thought to himself.

And he kept using body language to suggest that I should leave.

He sneered again.

Hmph... I just pretended not to understand.

Shang Huaiyan took advantage of the situation to glance at Yi Baitang. In his sight, Yi Baitang looked calm and didn't respond to these, as if he didn't feel anything wrong at all.

Shang Huaiyan suddenly lost.

With a sound of "knocking", Manager Zhou took a sip from the cup and put it down again. The slender petals of the chrysanthemum rose and fell in the clear water.She didn't really imply that Shang Huaiyan should leave from a subjective point of view, but she just felt that it would be best to talk to Yi Baitang alone about the next few words that were pressing in her heart.

She thought for a moment, then stood up: "Okay, today's business is almost over, Auntie is leaving first, do you see Auntie off?"

Yi Baitang stood up as he said.

The two walked through the automatic glass doors.

Manager Zhou said: "Baitang, I usually don't shy away from you. You know that I have an old family relationship with you. Are you a little curious—"

Yi Baitang remained silent.

Manager Zhou continued: "I asked Xiao Huang before. What Xiao Huang told you about your mother is not true. Your mother and I are indeed classmates and good friends for many years, but over the years, I don't know Where is your mother, and I have never contacted your mother... The phone call he overheard outside was a joke when I was in contact with another good friend of your mother. The three of us were very close back then, but over the years , everyone is far and wide, one is missing, two have their own families, and neither of them can appear next to each other immediately." She paused and smiled helplessly, "Sometimes I will tell her about your mother, and I will also talk about you."

Yi Baitang was silent for a long time, and then said: "I see."

It was probably equivalent to breaking into a completely unknown area suddenly, and Yi Baitang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Unlike the father that my grandfather mentioned more or less, the role of mother has always seemed to be a taboo since childhood.

No one took the initiative to ask, even if he took the initiative to ask, there would always be silence.

Yi Baitang lowered his eyelids, then raised them again. He no longer avoided such a deep topic, but also showed his unhappiness: "Auntie Zhou, is there anything else?"

Manager Zhou looked at Yi Baitang.The sun illuminated the skin of the child in front of him, giving the expressionless person a watery indifference.But even so, this is a cute and wonderful kid.Sometimes she can't understand her best friend, but maybe a woman is destined to fall bloody on a man, so that she can't care about everything else.

She explained softly: "It's all right. Baitang, isn't your mother..."

Yi Baitang said lightly: "I have never seen her, and I don't know what she is like."

He no longer wasted time here, turned around and went back, and saw Baba looking at him in front of the French window, wishing for Shang Huaiyan who flew over.

In the blink of an eye, the person who hesitated to speak changed from himself to Manager Zhou!

Shang Huaiyan felt an inexplicable joy in his heart. He walked quickly to Yi Baitang's side, and asked attentively, "Baitang, what are you going to do next? Are you going to find the gourmet that Manager Zhou mentioned?"

Yi Baitang: "Go."

Shang Huaiyan took good care of him: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I will drive you there."

Yi Baitang was unhappy: "I'll go by myself."

Shang Huaiyan: "..."

I want to pick up the unhappy baby and touch and kiss it, but the baby doesn't want me to touch and kiss it...

Shang Huaiyan said wittily: "I suddenly remembered that the company has a project to inspect over there, and we happened to be on the way, so I'll take you there."
