sun washed by spring rain

2. Memories dissolve like snow

"Fuck! Where's my cigarette! Who the hell replaced me with chocolate!" Zhang Ke, who just finished working in the kitchen supervisor and wanted to go out for a rest, rushed in from the outside not long after.A little cook and a face master in the small kitchen looked at each other.The work in hand also stopped because of the daze.

"Master! Who among us can move your cigarette? We are busy now. Besides, whoever smokes your cigarette secretly has the mood to exchange it for you with chocolate!" Zhang Ke's apprentice Jiang Zhengxiao's facial features were piled up. When they got together, they immediately went to shake the big spoon in their hands after speaking.

"Old Wang, do you know?" Zhang Ke glared at Jiang Zheng and then at another person in the kitchen.

"Boss, we really didn't steal your cigarette. Last time I ate a cucumber in the kitchen and you criticized me. How dare I!"

"What? Are you justified in stealing cucumbers?" Zhang Ke said, holding the cigarette case that had been replaced with chocolates and throwing it aside, angrily walked to Jiang Zheng's side.

"Look at the dishes you cook. It looks like this. This shop will close sooner or later! Let's open it! I'll fry." Zhang Ke squeezed Jiang Zheng away who was still shaking the spoon, and immediately took over the pot. Jiang Zheng couldn't say anything more about the dishes, and seeing that his cooking skills were still far behind his master's, he could only silently get an apron for Zhang Ke.

……

The time was approaching midnight again, and the surrounding shops were closed. Zhang Ke was sitting alone at the table in the middle of the restaurant, smoking a pack of cigarettes he just bought this evening, and looking at the same-looking things on the table. , but there are different cigarette boxes inside.

Chocolate, chewing gum, finger biscuits... Zhang Ke laughed and flicked the soot on his fingertips.Looking at the door, it didn't take long before the familiar man in a suit and leather shoes walked in again.

"Quick, Zhang Ke, finish the chicken noodles for me!" Yan Qianming walked in with a big bag and a small bag in his hand, smiling, as if he had already been familiar with this routine, no matter what Zhang Ke always put on when he came in. He could greet any kind of stinky face with a cheeky smile, but when he saw Zhang Ke pinching a cigarette and lighting another, his complexion instantly darkened.

"Why are you smoking again?" Yan Qianming put down the things in his hands, sat down facing Zhang Ke, and tried to snatch the lit cigarette from his hand.

"Aren't you caring too much? Oh, you are capable, you can change my cigarettes, and you can change the whole world!" Zhang Ke took advantage of the situation and stepped back, carelessly holding the cigarette butt in his hand while pushing and shoving. After burning Yan Qianming, Yan Qianming withdrew his hand and sat back, but his face became even worse.

"You smoke too much. Jiang Zheng said that you can't even smoke two packs a day...it's not good for your health..."

"Did you buy that kid? Heh, the wings are hard! You can go out and start your own business!" Zhang Ke said, feeling bored with the cigarette in his hand, and snuffed it out.

"Zhang Ke! Can you listen to me carefully!" Yan Qianming was a little angry, frowned, and took a breath.Then he said slowly: "I brought you nutritional supplements, eat more, it's good for your health, really."

"Heh, let me tell you how long you want to be like this. I am in good health, so you don't need to worry about it. Although I don't have as much money as you, I can afford it. Also! Can you stop coming I come here to eat and drink, why? Your wife doesn’t cook for you? That’s right, how can she cook for a rich lady! Then you should cook for her, you have to serve good people, right?” Zhang Ke said here He couldn't help snorting twice, but soon he felt that his behavior was too naive, so he immediately lowered his head and lit the cigarette again.

"I... gave her the divorce agreement... We have been separated for half a year..." Yan Qianming's voice was very low, with some helplessness in his tone.

Zhang Kewen was stunned for a moment, and after a few minutes of silence, he asked back, "So?"

"Zhang Ke, you won, you really won... Remember to eat and don't smoke." Yan Qianming didn't explain, and he finished the sentence weakly.So he got up and stood up, didn't eat the noodles, and left.

Zhang Ke watched his back when he went out, then glanced at the pile of supplements he put beside him, and shrugged: "Divorced? Did I win? What did I win? Did I mess up? Blame me?"

Yan Qianming didn't drive today, but walked all the way to Zhang Ke's shop, and walked for three hours.The wind at night is always cool, the street lights on the side of the road are on, occasionally a few taxis pass by in the middle of the road, passing by Yan Qianming who is walking alone on the street, they all drive over and honk a few times, But they all drove away silently without any response.Yan Qianming laughed at himself twice. He took off his suit and put it on his shoulders. He didn't want to go home, and he didn't know where he was going. He even regretted why he didn't have the cheek to eat noodles at Zhang Ke's just now. Go, at least you can feel warmer.

He didn't finish what he just said. "Zhang Ke, you won, you really won..." I can no longer look at you like I used to, treat you like I used to, I can no longer treat you like I used to...as a brother...as a friend , I finally made it up to myself...
