Gourmet and actor
Chapter 57
The two tossed until dawn before falling asleep.It wasn't until noon the next day that Xiao Ke was woken up by the phone call.
Half asleep and half awake, when Ding Haili asked himself when he would teach him how to cook new dishes, Xiao Ke was weak and said in a still hoarse voice: "Another day, I... I am busy these few days."
After waking up, Xiao Ke deeply regretted this decision.
Although director Han Da is not good at cooking ingredients, he is very good at cooking people.In just three or five times, he could clearly feel Xiao Ke's sensitive zone.
Moreover, the bad side that likes to tease Xiao Ke was also brought to the bed by him.After a gentle adaptation period at first, it was confirmed that Xiao Ke had good physical strength, his demanding methods became extremely intense, and he often deliberately stopped at critical moments, forcing Xiao Ke to say something shameful.
At that time, Xiao Ke was going to have all the gates of his life in his hands, so he could only respond to his requests, and he couldn't get angry.After the matter was over, Han Xilin regained his composure and wanted to settle the score, but Han Xilin was doubly gentle and considerate, he didn't see the badness just now, no matter what he said, it was like hitting cotton with his fist.
After repeated tossing and tossing like this a few times, Xiao Ke got used to it.Anyway, there are only two of them, so let him go, as if he has accepted a highly shameful script and is practicing his lines.
This weekend, the two rejected all invitation calls and stayed at home.Cooking, reading, listening to music, kissing, doing all the favorite things between lovers.
Han Xilin also planned a travel plan, but after calculating the time spent on the road, he finally gave up.
In a blink of an eye, it was the evening of the weekend.Thinking of starting work again tomorrow, Han Xilin felt a little reluctant, and he followed Xiao Ke wherever he went.After looking around the study, the kitchen, and the utility room that was supposed to be the winemaking room, he suddenly remembered that there was still one important thing that he hadn't done.
"Xiao Ke, come and sign." Han Xilin found out the thick stack of documents that he brought home the day before yesterday, and handed it to Xiao Ke together with the carbon black inkpad.
"what is this?"
Han Xilin said solemnly: "Sell. Body deed."
Xiao Ke is used to talking to him, "You finally decided to join me?"
"That's right, you are the boss from now on, you must feed me well." Han Xilin twisted his waist lightly, then wrapped his arms around him, and sat down on the sofa together.
While speaking, Xiao Ke hastily flipped through most of the documents, and found that they were basically information on house transfers, fund renaming, etc., so he returned them to Han Xilin, "I have money myself."
Han Xilin had expected that he would refuse, so he blocked it, and said, "I gave you this difference. Besides, this is a gift my mother designated for my future daughter-in-law. Besides you, who else can I give it to?"
Xiao Ke's fiefdom in his previous life was equivalent to a modern province, and no matter how expensive a gift was, it was nothing more than that in his eyes.The reason why I refused just now was because I felt that as a man, I couldn't rely on another man for support.
It was not until Han Xilin said that the gift had such a meaning that he decided to accept it.But on the surface, he glared at him, "You appointed me, but I may not be."
Having said that, he still picked up the documents and signed each one under Han Xilin's guidance.At the same time, he thought in his heart that if he saves some money after making Xiao Yin's movie, he will also return a big gift.
Same-sex marriages are not allowed in China, so in Han Xilin's eyes, these deeds are his dowry.Although it has no name, it has substance and can be regarded as a de facto marriage.
Thinking of dawdling for so long and finally chasing Xiao Ke, he felt boundless joy in his heart, and couldn't help kissing the temples of the man in his arms.
At this moment, Xiao Ke asked, "Han Xilin, what is this?"
Being called a big name at this juncture, Han Xilin suddenly felt ominous, and his expression turned serious.
Looking at the document in Xiao Ke's hand again, Han Xilin was even more annoyed: Why did he bring in the information of the restaurant's legal person?
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Xiao Ke raised Han Xilin's chin with the hard-covered license with Father Han's name on it, and said dissatisfiedly, "You are the actual partner of the restaurant, right? How many things are you hiding from me?" I?"
Noticing that his tone was not harsh, Han Xilin quickly assured, "No more, this is definitely the last one."
"Why didn't you tell me that day?"
"In a hurry, I forgot."
"...This can be forgotten." Although he was slightly dissatisfied, but after thinking about it carefully, the partner was Han Xilin, who was much better than that unreliable Deng Yibo, so Xiao Ke put down his license and didn't pursue it any further.
It's a pity that he forgot that the guy in front of him is very good at pushing his feet.Seeing Xiao Ke's calm expression, Han Xilin retreated and asked: "Xiao Ke, can you forgive me? I will apologize to you right away."
His words were honest, but his hands were dishonest.After signing the remaining few documents, Xiao Ke's breath was already confused by him, and his eyes were covered with a layer of lustful lust.
"The stove...the fire on the stove has not been turned off..." Xiao Ke continued intermittently, and finally finished speaking.
Han Xilin simply supported his hips, strode to the kitchen, and cut off all the switches at once.
Xiao Ke's legs were wrapped tightly around his waist, before he had time to say anything, his shirt was unbuttoned, and his back touched the pillar.The setting sun slanted in and reflected between Han Xilin's eyebrows, making the already fiery eyes even more fiery.
"You have gone too far these two days." Xiao Ke said out of breath.
Han Xilin kissed away the thin sweat that had slipped from his forehead, and answered with the same rough panting: "Is there any? I don't think it's enough. What should I call me at this time? Are you taking the initiative, or should I 'help' you?"
The situation is stronger than others, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, Xiao Ke cooperated with the times: "Brother, brother..."
"good."
The greedy director Han Da continued to demand for another night. The next day, Xiao Ke contacted Ding Haili and Ni Guang who were eager to see through. He was about to go out before he realized that other places were fine. They all have hickey marks and can't see people at all.
He scolded Han Xilin several times in his heart, but in desperation, Xiao Ke had no choice but to put on a half-neck sweater and a pair of wrist guards in the weather of more than [-] degrees, and finally covered all the marks.
Fortunately, he is a celebrity. Although his attire was out of season, the employees only sighed in their hearts how wonderful fashion is. It was not based on the climate at all, and did not think of other aspects.
Xiao Xiao, who was guilty, could see that the employees looked as usual, and gradually became calm.Demonstrated the new recipe to Ding Haili, and discussed with him about the small portion of regular dishes.
Ding Haili said: "Since the crab cooking program was broadcast last time, customers have called every day to ask about food reservations. Many people have asked if there are any discounts in the near future. Why don't we learn from other restaurants and offer several set meals , five or six small dishes of each kind?"
Basically, mid-to-high-end restaurants have set menus, with dishes ranging from a dozen to several.The only thing that is the same is that the portion of each dish is small but precise, about two or three mouthfuls for an ordinary person.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ke said: "In order to ensure the taste, no matter how small the portion is, it has to be made separately, and the price still cannot come down."
"For restaurants with a similar positioning to ours, the price of the set meal basically ranges from 1000 to [-]. If we set it between [-] and [-], I believe diners can accept it."
Although this is already half the price of per capita consumption, when thinking of the little fans who came to see her on the opening day, Xiao Ke felt that this price was not enough for them, and wanted to see if there was room for further compression.
Hearing what he meant, Ding Haili was puzzled: "Mr. Xiao Xiao, our restaurant is originally positioned as a mid-to-high-end restaurant, not an ordinary consumer. Moreover, we use real ingredients, and fresh air transport every day is also a large sum of money." Expenditure. If the price is lower, it will be a loss. If the business is not good, it’s okay to gain popularity first. But with our current traffic, there is no need to do so.”
Although Han Xilin sent people to manage the accounting expenses, Ding Haili, who has been in the catering industry for more than [-] years, is very clear about all expenses.Seeing the disadvantages at a glance, he urged Xiao Ke to give up this idea.
Xiao Ke was silent.From time to time on Weibo, a little girl left a message saying that in order to taste his unique dishes, she worked several jobs and how long she saved pocket money.Although he persuaded several times, it didn't work.
Furthermore, he also has a selfish desire to let more people share the food, and he doesn't want the price to be a barrier to hinder them.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Ke suddenly thought of an ancient "set meal", and said with an idea: "Old Ding, we can do this: we don't have to rigidly stipulate the set meal, and just randomly divide out some of the dinners ordered by the guests at a certain table. In this way As a result, there is no need to make it again, saving time and labor, and it can also ensure that the dishes are rich, which is equivalent to spending a small amount of money to taste a small banquet."
Ding Haili didn't turn the corner for a while, and asked suspiciously: "But in this way, won't other customers order less dishes, is this a disadvantage for customers who spend more money?"
"If you want to add a small portion, wouldn't it be good to add a little more ingredients when cooking? In this way, both parties will be happy."
After being reminded by him, Ding Haili finally came to his senses, corrected the white hat on his head in embarrassment, and said, "That's right, that's the reason. Teacher Xiao Xiao, you still have a trick. The most important thing about catering is the flow of customers. If we can attract more and more stable customers by relying on this small banquet, then we can open a branch."
Xiao Ke really hadn't thought about the branch store, and when Lao Ding reminded him, he couldn't help looking forward to it for a while, and then said: "Let's make this store well first, and there will definitely be a branch store in the future."
The two discussed for a while, and decided to set the price according to the number of dishes, and the price ranged from [-] to [-] yuan.In this way, the cheapest one is equivalent to two or three times the per capita consumption of ordinary restaurants, and the most expensive one is less than half the per capita price of Yushan Palace, which is completely affordable for the working class.
Just at this time, Ni Guang came with a proposal.Hearing that not only will there be new dishes, but the small banquet will be such a new way of playing, I was immediately very interested, and immediately added an item to the plan.Finally, I asked again, what name should this new package be given?
"Call it Feiyan." Xiao Ke said the ancient name.Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he explained: "It means that the dishes come to me from other tables, which sounds better than a banquet or a joint banquet, right?"
"That's right, a good name, interesting and unique, I'm sure diners will remember it once they hear it." Ni Guang said yes repeatedly.
Due to the intense urging from fans, seeing that Xiao Ke had no objection to the proposal, it was rare for him to cook a new dish in person today.Ni Guang simply struck while the iron was hot, calling the food photographer he had already contacted, and started shooting immediately.
Taking pictures of food is a meticulous job, dimming, lighting, and props are all indispensable.The photographer Ni Guang worked with is well-known. He has photographed many baking classes before and has rich experience.When I arrived at the Imperial Food Palace today, I repeatedly lamented that this was the most worry-free time in his filming career.
You don’t need to worry about arranging the dishes, and you don’t need to deliberately create a warm and pleasant dining atmosphere. As long as you record the color of the dishes in the camera, you can bring the most original and intuitive food impact to the audience, which will make your index finger move.
Ni Guang couldn't help but pick a few photos and post them to his account first as tidbits.
As a result, the filming was only halfway through, and tens of thousands of messages were posted.Except for a few locals in Dese who said they would book a table to taste it immediately, fans in other places strongly requested that Yushan Palace launch an online store service and express food to all parts of the country for the benefit of them.
Stir-fried vegetables are not instant noodles, how can they be delivered?Xiao Ke asked doubts, and the photographer explained: "Stewed dishes can be vacuum-packed after cooling, and sent together with ice cubes."
"It's too troublesome to do so. And when it reaches the destination, the taste will change a long time ago." After hearing this, Xiao Ke shook his head again and again.
The photographer smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, the main reason is that everyone is greedy for the photos. Knowing that there are delicious foods but can't eat them, many people will feel uncomfortable, so I encourage you to do online sales."
Many home-cooked dishes were not served in Yushan Palace, but Ding Haili had seen them in Han's house.Reminded by the change of taste, he said: "Mr. Xiao, if our restaurant opens an online store, it will fall into the bottom line. But we can consider selling some special cured meat for customers to choose. For example, eggplant, Gold and silver livers and the like.”
Xiao Ke doesn't know much about online stores, but he feels that in the end it's just a sales channel, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.After pondering for a moment, he said: "It's the same wherever you sell it. If you go by express, you can't sell fresh vegetables, but these are fine. But let me find out first."
Seeing that he didn't say anything to death, Ni Guang replied ambiguously on his behalf, which immediately drew another round of cheers.As the number of retweeters increased, the number of diners who came to the Imperial Food Palace to taste the flying banquet also increased sharply.Many people heard that there are no seats, and even said that it doesn't matter, they can stand in the corridor to eat.
As the chef, Ding Haili was so busy that his feet didn't touch the floor, his legs were almost nailed to the stove, but he didn't feel tired at all, on the contrary, the busier he was, the more excited he became.After a round of work, he took the time to say to Xiao Ke who was still assisting in the filming: "Based on this momentum, we may be able to open a branch in the second half of the year."
Seeing today's hot scene, Xiao Ke also felt that this day is not far away, so he said: "Old Ding, you have been a chef for a long time, and you know a lot of people. Pay attention to whether there are people with reliable character and good qualifications. We It’s time to start cultivating branch chefs.”
Ding Haili nodded again and again, he already had a few candidates in his mind, and asked again: "Mr. Xiao Xiao, I know a few students. They are not badly talented and like this line of work, but they lack experience. Can I do it?"
"If you don't have experience, come in first and be an apprentice, and learn from you. Anyway, the new store won't open for a while, at least until I finish filming the next movie, and it will be the end of the year at the earliest." Xiao Can say.
"That's good." Ding Haili felt relieved and laughed silently.Those few students he met when he went back to his alma mater as a special lecturer, they were all good seedlings who were motivated, diligent and enlightened, but they lacked a little fire.Since Boss Xiao nodded his head and agreed to take him in for training first, I believe this small shortcoming will be smoothed out soon.
Of course, he also knows experienced people who can be used directly with a little training.When he was still working in his old company, he had brought in a few juniors, but after leaving, those people's attitude towards him was not as good as before.Not only is his attitude cold, but his speech is also much slower.After he came out, Lao Ding only contacted them once, and he didn't want to bother with them anymore.
Until recently, when they found that the business of the Imperial Food Palace was getting better and better, they changed their attitude and took the initiative to visit with gifts.Ask him how his salary is here, and directly express that he wants to jump over and hope that he can introduce it to the boss on his behalf.
For this kind of person, Lao Ding first said slowly that he was ashamed, and then quoted a salary that was twice as high as before.Wait for the other party's eyes to light up, and then say "the boss said there is no shortage of people", and you will be more angry than your life.
Even the boss himself pointed out that he wanted employees with reliable character, such people who were so popular and acted as a matter of course, it was better not to hire them to harm the restaurant.
Now that there are some guests who want to try something new, Ni Guang stayed with the photographer after finishing the dinner shooting, and planned to shoot all the new dishes at once.
After calculating the progress, it was estimated that after nine o'clock, Xiao Ke sent a message to Han Xilin, asking him to come here for dinner at that o'clock.
When receiving the message, Han Xilin was frowning at the marketing plan in the conference room.A group of subordinates carefully looked at the boss who was in a good mood in the morning, but put on a serious face during the meeting in the afternoon, and carefully considered every word he said, so as not to be caught and unfortunately become cannon fodder.
Han Xilin, who finally got his wish and spent a happy weekend, was in a bad mood because of Xiao Ke.
After going to the company to deal with a batch of things in the morning, he wanted He Lun to make arrangements for some things that required his presence to be done as soon as possible.Because in a few days, he will accompany Xiao Ke to film in other places.
But before he opened his mouth, He Lun saw a lot of brochure samples in his arms, asking him to have a look.It was only then that he remembered that it was already the beginning of July, and the peak sales season for the real estate industry, gold, nine and silver ten, was approaching.
With less than two months left, he has to sit at the headquarters to formulate and discuss different sales policies for different properties under his umbrella, no matter for this year's profits, shareholder dividends or employee year-end bonuses.What's more, he can't leave his post after the peak season. He needs to adjust his marketing strategy in a timely manner according to sales performance and competitors' trends.
According to Xiao Ke, Yin Jueyi is making a film for the first time, although there are many seniors who can ask for advice, but the progress will still be slower than other directors.It is estimated that the filming of the entire film will take half a year at the earliest. If there is an accident, it will have to be delayed for the New Year's Eve.
In other words, he had to go to him at least in November, and there was an interval of nearly four months.How does this make Han Xilin not depressed?
However, depression is depression, he did not let Xiao Ke push the show to accommodate his own ideas.He himself is a bit of a workaholic and has a strong sense of professionalism, so he can naturally understand Xiao Ke's idea of making achievements in his work.In his eyes, it is a big taboo to drag a partner's hind legs.
Can't accommodate, can't reschedule, then only accept the upcoming separation.Thinking of this, Director Han Da became even more irritable.
With a stricter attitude than usual, they picked on the reports submitted by various departments and ordered them to rectify the deficiencies within a time limit.After the meeting, Han Xilin decided to adjust the focus of his work again, freeing up as much time as possible before Xiao Ke left, even an extra hour of time together would be good.
After reading Xiao Ke's text message again, Han Xilin originally planned to take the opportunity to stay and work overtime, finish business affairs in advance, and come back to the company tomorrow afternoon.
But just after seven o'clock, people from the finance department asked him to check a large amount of expenses for publicity gifts.After signing, Han Xilin suddenly thought of the pillow that he asked He Lun to buy overnight last time, and the last time he went home, he secretly made up his mind about it.
What a mistake to forget about it on the weekend!
Han Xilin couldn't sit still when he thought that the props that had been highlighted earlier in the plan hadn't come in handy, and couldn't analyze the data calmly like before.
He immediately called his lover, "Xiao Ke, how is your progress going?"
Xiao Ke's voice was a bit mixed, obviously very busy, "It's slower than expected, I guess we'll have to wait a little longer, it might be around eleven o'clock. Is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay, just ask."
It will take so long, won't it be past twelve o'clock when I get home?After hanging up the phone, Han Xilin didn't think much, picked up his coat and went back to the apartment first.An hour or so later, carrying a paper bag, he appeared in the Imperial Food Palace where the diners were leaving.
I asked the waiter and learned that Xiao Ke was still busy taking pictures.He looked at his watch again, and found that it was not yet ten o'clock, and he probably had to wait a little longer, so Han Xilin decided not to bother, and just went to Xiao Ke's special lounge and waited.
Just as he was about to go in, the door of a box opened suddenly, and several people carrying camera equipment came out.Xiao Ke walked in the front and was talking to Ni Guang who he met at the opening last time.
Noticing that this was a gesture of seeing off guests, Han Xilin stepped aside, ready to wait for outsiders to leave before talking to Xiao Ke.
Unexpectedly, upon seeing him at first glance, surprise appeared on Xiao Ke's slightly tired face.Leaving aside the guests and walking quickly, he came to Han Xilin and said, "You were vague on the phone call just now, I thought you were going to work overtime again."
Xiao Ke's joy certainly made Han Xilin equally happy, but it was in a public place, so there was a lot of inconvenience.He took two steps back calmly, and at the same time reminded in a low voice, "This is outside."
"I know."
Xiao Ke didn't care.When other people approached, he took the initiative to introduce: "This is my good friend Han Xilin, Mr. Ni, you have met last time, right?"
"Yes, I have. I really admire Mr. Han's amazing drinking capacity." On the day of the opening, Han Xilin stayed by Xiao Ke's side all the way, and got very close to the Deng brothers. Ni Guang was naturally impressed.
When the word "wine" was mentioned, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Xiao, when will the lotus wine you mentioned just now be available for sale?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Ke was secretly ashamed.
It stands to reason that the wine should be brewed today, but Han Xilin has been entangled in these two days, and he always forgets to replace the petals and lotus leaves.As a result, the taste was not enough, so the launch had to be delayed.
"Just recently." As he spoke, Xiao Ke quickly changed the subject and introduced another guest, "Han Xilin, this is Mr. Dong, a well-known food photographer, and these are his team members. Thanks to their help today."
Han Xilin didn't know that Xiao Ke was slandering him, and was secretly moved by his unabashed introduction. He swept away his depression and greeted them with a smile.
He is majestic and imposing, and his gestures are full of grace, and he can tell the origin at a glance.The two couldn't help talking to him a few more words before leaving.
During the chatter, the few remaining tables of diners also dispersed.It was too late today, Xiao Ke asked the overtime employees not to clean up, and they can do it together when they go to work tomorrow morning.
After everyone left, Xiao Ke locked the front door, pulled Han Xilin into the kitchen, took out the lunch box from the refrigerator, warmed it up and put it in front of him, "I thought you wouldn't come."
Han Xilin was embarrassed to say what made him come here, so he responded vaguely, and hurriedly lowered his head to eat.
Xiao Ke had already noticed the paper bag in his hand, "What did you bring?"
"It's nothing, just a few sundries." Han Xilin said without changing his expression.
Xiao Ke believed it to be true, ignored it, and said instead: "I'm going to go to G city to shoot in a few days, you don't seem to have set up a branch there, right? In this way, we will have to separate for three or four months. I I just thought of a way for you, listen to how it goes."
Is Xiao Ke going to give up his career for himself?Although he didn't want him to do this, this decision meant that his lover valued himself more than his career. Han Xilin couldn't help being in a good mood, stopped his chopsticks, and asked hopefully, "Then what are you going to do?"
Xiao Ke said seriously: "I taught Lao Ding a few home-cooked dishes today. I dare not say that the taste he made is exactly the same as mine, but it is definitely the closest. Then someone will send it to you on time every day. .With him in charge, you should not be so reluctant to eat."
"..." The answer was contrary to what he expected, and Han Xilin couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Although his lover made the best arrangements for his meal, Han Xilin, who has been more concerned about certain aspects recently, still can't help but feel a little disappointed.
After finishing the meal in a hurry, he picked up the soup that Xiao Kexin handed over and drank it to the bottom. He went to the sink and rinsed his mouth with a handful of water.Finally, after drying his hands, he turned around and asked, "What about other aspects?"
"What else could be wrong?" Xiao Ke asked strangely.
"There's only one question." Han Xilin pulled him into his arms and stepped down.Consciously or unintentionally, she gently rubbed against him, and said very suggestively: "I miss you these days, what should I do?"
Although Xiao Ke also likes to do something, if asked face to face, he would never admit it, "...it's just for self-cultivation."
Han Xilin blew softly in his ear, "Are you willing to let me be a monk? By the way, why are you dressed like this today? Isn't it hot?"
"It's not all your fault." Speaking of this, Xiao Ke became angry and gave him a hard look.
But this action is really lacking in momentum, in Han Xilin's eyes, it is undoubtedly a wink.
Han Xilin, who had been urged by the schedule for a long time, made a decisive decision. Regardless of the exclamation, he directly carried Xiao Ke into the lounge, and even in his busy schedule, he did not forget to take the paper bag.
After a while, Xiao Ke who was placed on the table finally understood what his so-called sundries meant.
As soon as the bare skin touched the pillow, I don't know if it was a psychological effect. Xiao Ke always felt that the fine fur made him uncomfortable, so he immediately writhed, "Take it away, it's so itchy."
In the fuss, they didn't turn on the lights.The neon lights outside the window came in through the gaps in the curtains that were not drawn tightly.Although the color is light, it is enough to see the contours of each other's faces.
Seeing the ups and downs of Xiao Ke's waist, which was more fatal than he imagined, Han Xilin would not listen.Responding indiscriminately, seeing that he was about to reach out to pull the pillow away, he simply grabbed his wrist, wiped off the extremely elastic wrist guard, pushed Xiao Ke's hands over the top of his head and tied them together, making him unable to move.
Under him is the desk where he still works with others during the day, his hands are imprisoned, and he cannot move. Shame and coercion are both too exciting for Xiao Ke.When Han Xilin finally stopped moving and hugged him to the sofa, Xiao Ke's newly raised voice became hoarse again, and his face was covered with tears.
Han Xilin was impulsive at the moment, but he didn't expect to force Xiao Ke to this point, so he quickly coaxed him in a distressed whisper.
It was only afterward that Xiao Ke realized that he was crying.Although I knew that this was a purely physiological reaction like tears shed when I was in pain, I still felt deeply ashamed.It is even more inevitable to vent anger on Han Xilin, who is the chief culprit.
After he regained his composure, he resolutely slapped away Han Xilin's hand that wanted to dress him.When he returned to the apartment, he locked the door directly, even though Han Xilin tried every means to coax him outside, he ignored him.
Knowing that he had played too much this time, Han Xilin didn't dare to say anything more. Seeing that Xiao Ke hadn't responded, he had to go back to the room alone to rest.Knowing that he was wrong, he tossed and turned all night, until the next morning, when he found that Xiao Ke was still willing to make breakfast for him, he felt a little relieved.
Han Xilin tried to talk to him embarrassingly, but he was still treated as air and ignored.Helpless, Han Xilin had no choice but to go to work first.
What he didn't know was that Xiao Ke also stayed up almost all night.
But unlike Han Xilin's guilty conscience, Xiao felt that his lover had become "bad". Everything that happened last night was completely beyond the category of hooligans, but if it was a crime, it seemed a bit too much.He didn't know how to define Han Xilin's behavior, so he asked Almighty Network for advice.
But after searching around, he found that compared to such messy things as binding blindfolds, Han Xilin's actions were actually the most normal.According to many sources, this is only a small interest between ordinary couples, and it is harmless.
This result made Xiao Ke very unconvinced, and he was determined to find out rebuttal materials.Before he knew it, he spent most of the night on the Internet, but the results that met his expectations were pitiful and basically useless.
He had to study the materials he didn't like.I read it several times, trying to find the flaws.But in the end, instead of being able to fulfill his wish, he was almost persuaded by the other party's rigorous analysis of examples.
If Han Xilin's actions were not excessive, then wouldn't his own reaction be too much of a fuss?
Xiao Ke, who only squinted for a while at dawn, recalled this, and felt deeply confused while being embarrassed.But I was too embarrassed to discuss this kind of thing with my friends, so I decided to do something else to distract my attention.
He replaced the wine tank filter with freshly crushed flowers and leaves. He just wanted to contact Mr. Wen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and come to visit him. By the way, he asked Senior Fu Cheng, who had cheered him on for no reason at the opening last time, what was going on. .Before the call was made, he received an invitation from Father Han first.
It turned out that Father Han had already returned to City B yesterday afternoon.After a night of rest, he wanted to get together with some old buddies, so he asked Xiao Ke to temporarily stop him and leave him an empty table in the restaurant at night.
Even though the legal person of the restaurant wrote Father Han's name, he still respected himself so much and said hello in advance for everything.Xiao Ke was grateful, and offered to say that he would also go to the restaurant and cook for the old people himself.Father Han naturally said yes repeatedly.
Yin Jueyi's final draft of the script about World War II pilots had been sent out a few days ago, and Xiao Ke had just read half of it.While there was nothing to do, he read the rest in one go.After concentrating on the role for a long time, he realized that it was late, so he hurried to the restaurant.
In order to prepare the dishes, he arrived a little earlier.Anyway, he knew very well the tastes of Father Han and the others, and he knew what to do without asking.
Ding Haili graciously helped the boss.After preparing the dishes, I was just about to talk about the situation of those students before the busiest meal time.Suddenly seeing Han Xilin coming in, he hurriedly changed his greeting, "Hello, Mr. Han."
Although he had become acquainted with Father Han during the time in K City, he was still a little intimidated by this unsmiling Mr. Han.
Knowing that he must be looking for Xiao Ke, Lao Ding took the initiative to say: "Mr. Xiao Xiao, go and do your work. I will cook the leftover soup later."
Xiao Ke was deeply depressed by the staff's untimely thoughtfulness, but he couldn't say anything.Walking past Han Xilin with a straight face and exiting the kitchen, thinking about the huge restaurant with only the lounge and no idlers, even though he didn't want to see the "scene of the incident" again in the short term, he had to go in reluctantly.
The traces of last night had been cleaned up long ago, but when Xiao Ke saw that table, Xiao Ke still had a light on his back.Everything that happened at night seemed to be vividly remembered.
The silence didn't last long, and Han Xilin, who came here to make amends when he knew he was coming, took the initiative to admit his mistake, "Xiao Ke, I got carried away last night, I'm really sorry."
His solemn apology made Xiao Ke very uncomfortable.
After researching the information all night, I found that this is actually a little fun that modern people often play. His anger has almost disappeared by now, and the only thing left is his dissatisfaction with Han Xilin who started directly without saying hello.
However, it was a bit embarrassing for him to express his thoughts frankly.
After struggling for a moment, Xiao Ke became more and more at a loss as to what to say, so he simply turned his head to look out the window and continued to remain silent.
His appearance fell into Han Xilin's eyes, but he didn't want to forgive himself.
Han Xilin was deeply annoyed: I should have thought that the matter of the bed is the same as the relationship, and it needs to be done step by step.Knowing that Xiao Ke is easy to be shy, how come he still can't hold back and scares him?
Seeing that Xiao Ke never looked back, Han Xilin panicked and couldn't help but support his shoulder from behind, "Xiao Ke, can you just say something?"
Half asleep and half awake, when Ding Haili asked himself when he would teach him how to cook new dishes, Xiao Ke was weak and said in a still hoarse voice: "Another day, I... I am busy these few days."
After waking up, Xiao Ke deeply regretted this decision.
Although director Han Da is not good at cooking ingredients, he is very good at cooking people.In just three or five times, he could clearly feel Xiao Ke's sensitive zone.
Moreover, the bad side that likes to tease Xiao Ke was also brought to the bed by him.After a gentle adaptation period at first, it was confirmed that Xiao Ke had good physical strength, his demanding methods became extremely intense, and he often deliberately stopped at critical moments, forcing Xiao Ke to say something shameful.
At that time, Xiao Ke was going to have all the gates of his life in his hands, so he could only respond to his requests, and he couldn't get angry.After the matter was over, Han Xilin regained his composure and wanted to settle the score, but Han Xilin was doubly gentle and considerate, he didn't see the badness just now, no matter what he said, it was like hitting cotton with his fist.
After repeated tossing and tossing like this a few times, Xiao Ke got used to it.Anyway, there are only two of them, so let him go, as if he has accepted a highly shameful script and is practicing his lines.
This weekend, the two rejected all invitation calls and stayed at home.Cooking, reading, listening to music, kissing, doing all the favorite things between lovers.
Han Xilin also planned a travel plan, but after calculating the time spent on the road, he finally gave up.
In a blink of an eye, it was the evening of the weekend.Thinking of starting work again tomorrow, Han Xilin felt a little reluctant, and he followed Xiao Ke wherever he went.After looking around the study, the kitchen, and the utility room that was supposed to be the winemaking room, he suddenly remembered that there was still one important thing that he hadn't done.
"Xiao Ke, come and sign." Han Xilin found out the thick stack of documents that he brought home the day before yesterday, and handed it to Xiao Ke together with the carbon black inkpad.
"what is this?"
Han Xilin said solemnly: "Sell. Body deed."
Xiao Ke is used to talking to him, "You finally decided to join me?"
"That's right, you are the boss from now on, you must feed me well." Han Xilin twisted his waist lightly, then wrapped his arms around him, and sat down on the sofa together.
While speaking, Xiao Ke hastily flipped through most of the documents, and found that they were basically information on house transfers, fund renaming, etc., so he returned them to Han Xilin, "I have money myself."
Han Xilin had expected that he would refuse, so he blocked it, and said, "I gave you this difference. Besides, this is a gift my mother designated for my future daughter-in-law. Besides you, who else can I give it to?"
Xiao Ke's fiefdom in his previous life was equivalent to a modern province, and no matter how expensive a gift was, it was nothing more than that in his eyes.The reason why I refused just now was because I felt that as a man, I couldn't rely on another man for support.
It was not until Han Xilin said that the gift had such a meaning that he decided to accept it.But on the surface, he glared at him, "You appointed me, but I may not be."
Having said that, he still picked up the documents and signed each one under Han Xilin's guidance.At the same time, he thought in his heart that if he saves some money after making Xiao Yin's movie, he will also return a big gift.
Same-sex marriages are not allowed in China, so in Han Xilin's eyes, these deeds are his dowry.Although it has no name, it has substance and can be regarded as a de facto marriage.
Thinking of dawdling for so long and finally chasing Xiao Ke, he felt boundless joy in his heart, and couldn't help kissing the temples of the man in his arms.
At this moment, Xiao Ke asked, "Han Xilin, what is this?"
Being called a big name at this juncture, Han Xilin suddenly felt ominous, and his expression turned serious.
Looking at the document in Xiao Ke's hand again, Han Xilin was even more annoyed: Why did he bring in the information of the restaurant's legal person?
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Xiao Ke raised Han Xilin's chin with the hard-covered license with Father Han's name on it, and said dissatisfiedly, "You are the actual partner of the restaurant, right? How many things are you hiding from me?" I?"
Noticing that his tone was not harsh, Han Xilin quickly assured, "No more, this is definitely the last one."
"Why didn't you tell me that day?"
"In a hurry, I forgot."
"...This can be forgotten." Although he was slightly dissatisfied, but after thinking about it carefully, the partner was Han Xilin, who was much better than that unreliable Deng Yibo, so Xiao Ke put down his license and didn't pursue it any further.
It's a pity that he forgot that the guy in front of him is very good at pushing his feet.Seeing Xiao Ke's calm expression, Han Xilin retreated and asked: "Xiao Ke, can you forgive me? I will apologize to you right away."
His words were honest, but his hands were dishonest.After signing the remaining few documents, Xiao Ke's breath was already confused by him, and his eyes were covered with a layer of lustful lust.
"The stove...the fire on the stove has not been turned off..." Xiao Ke continued intermittently, and finally finished speaking.
Han Xilin simply supported his hips, strode to the kitchen, and cut off all the switches at once.
Xiao Ke's legs were wrapped tightly around his waist, before he had time to say anything, his shirt was unbuttoned, and his back touched the pillar.The setting sun slanted in and reflected between Han Xilin's eyebrows, making the already fiery eyes even more fiery.
"You have gone too far these two days." Xiao Ke said out of breath.
Han Xilin kissed away the thin sweat that had slipped from his forehead, and answered with the same rough panting: "Is there any? I don't think it's enough. What should I call me at this time? Are you taking the initiative, or should I 'help' you?"
The situation is stronger than others, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, Xiao Ke cooperated with the times: "Brother, brother..."
"good."
The greedy director Han Da continued to demand for another night. The next day, Xiao Ke contacted Ding Haili and Ni Guang who were eager to see through. He was about to go out before he realized that other places were fine. They all have hickey marks and can't see people at all.
He scolded Han Xilin several times in his heart, but in desperation, Xiao Ke had no choice but to put on a half-neck sweater and a pair of wrist guards in the weather of more than [-] degrees, and finally covered all the marks.
Fortunately, he is a celebrity. Although his attire was out of season, the employees only sighed in their hearts how wonderful fashion is. It was not based on the climate at all, and did not think of other aspects.
Xiao Xiao, who was guilty, could see that the employees looked as usual, and gradually became calm.Demonstrated the new recipe to Ding Haili, and discussed with him about the small portion of regular dishes.
Ding Haili said: "Since the crab cooking program was broadcast last time, customers have called every day to ask about food reservations. Many people have asked if there are any discounts in the near future. Why don't we learn from other restaurants and offer several set meals , five or six small dishes of each kind?"
Basically, mid-to-high-end restaurants have set menus, with dishes ranging from a dozen to several.The only thing that is the same is that the portion of each dish is small but precise, about two or three mouthfuls for an ordinary person.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ke said: "In order to ensure the taste, no matter how small the portion is, it has to be made separately, and the price still cannot come down."
"For restaurants with a similar positioning to ours, the price of the set meal basically ranges from 1000 to [-]. If we set it between [-] and [-], I believe diners can accept it."
Although this is already half the price of per capita consumption, when thinking of the little fans who came to see her on the opening day, Xiao Ke felt that this price was not enough for them, and wanted to see if there was room for further compression.
Hearing what he meant, Ding Haili was puzzled: "Mr. Xiao Xiao, our restaurant is originally positioned as a mid-to-high-end restaurant, not an ordinary consumer. Moreover, we use real ingredients, and fresh air transport every day is also a large sum of money." Expenditure. If the price is lower, it will be a loss. If the business is not good, it’s okay to gain popularity first. But with our current traffic, there is no need to do so.”
Although Han Xilin sent people to manage the accounting expenses, Ding Haili, who has been in the catering industry for more than [-] years, is very clear about all expenses.Seeing the disadvantages at a glance, he urged Xiao Ke to give up this idea.
Xiao Ke was silent.From time to time on Weibo, a little girl left a message saying that in order to taste his unique dishes, she worked several jobs and how long she saved pocket money.Although he persuaded several times, it didn't work.
Furthermore, he also has a selfish desire to let more people share the food, and he doesn't want the price to be a barrier to hinder them.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Ke suddenly thought of an ancient "set meal", and said with an idea: "Old Ding, we can do this: we don't have to rigidly stipulate the set meal, and just randomly divide out some of the dinners ordered by the guests at a certain table. In this way As a result, there is no need to make it again, saving time and labor, and it can also ensure that the dishes are rich, which is equivalent to spending a small amount of money to taste a small banquet."
Ding Haili didn't turn the corner for a while, and asked suspiciously: "But in this way, won't other customers order less dishes, is this a disadvantage for customers who spend more money?"
"If you want to add a small portion, wouldn't it be good to add a little more ingredients when cooking? In this way, both parties will be happy."
After being reminded by him, Ding Haili finally came to his senses, corrected the white hat on his head in embarrassment, and said, "That's right, that's the reason. Teacher Xiao Xiao, you still have a trick. The most important thing about catering is the flow of customers. If we can attract more and more stable customers by relying on this small banquet, then we can open a branch."
Xiao Ke really hadn't thought about the branch store, and when Lao Ding reminded him, he couldn't help looking forward to it for a while, and then said: "Let's make this store well first, and there will definitely be a branch store in the future."
The two discussed for a while, and decided to set the price according to the number of dishes, and the price ranged from [-] to [-] yuan.In this way, the cheapest one is equivalent to two or three times the per capita consumption of ordinary restaurants, and the most expensive one is less than half the per capita price of Yushan Palace, which is completely affordable for the working class.
Just at this time, Ni Guang came with a proposal.Hearing that not only will there be new dishes, but the small banquet will be such a new way of playing, I was immediately very interested, and immediately added an item to the plan.Finally, I asked again, what name should this new package be given?
"Call it Feiyan." Xiao Ke said the ancient name.Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he explained: "It means that the dishes come to me from other tables, which sounds better than a banquet or a joint banquet, right?"
"That's right, a good name, interesting and unique, I'm sure diners will remember it once they hear it." Ni Guang said yes repeatedly.
Due to the intense urging from fans, seeing that Xiao Ke had no objection to the proposal, it was rare for him to cook a new dish in person today.Ni Guang simply struck while the iron was hot, calling the food photographer he had already contacted, and started shooting immediately.
Taking pictures of food is a meticulous job, dimming, lighting, and props are all indispensable.The photographer Ni Guang worked with is well-known. He has photographed many baking classes before and has rich experience.When I arrived at the Imperial Food Palace today, I repeatedly lamented that this was the most worry-free time in his filming career.
You don’t need to worry about arranging the dishes, and you don’t need to deliberately create a warm and pleasant dining atmosphere. As long as you record the color of the dishes in the camera, you can bring the most original and intuitive food impact to the audience, which will make your index finger move.
Ni Guang couldn't help but pick a few photos and post them to his account first as tidbits.
As a result, the filming was only halfway through, and tens of thousands of messages were posted.Except for a few locals in Dese who said they would book a table to taste it immediately, fans in other places strongly requested that Yushan Palace launch an online store service and express food to all parts of the country for the benefit of them.
Stir-fried vegetables are not instant noodles, how can they be delivered?Xiao Ke asked doubts, and the photographer explained: "Stewed dishes can be vacuum-packed after cooling, and sent together with ice cubes."
"It's too troublesome to do so. And when it reaches the destination, the taste will change a long time ago." After hearing this, Xiao Ke shook his head again and again.
The photographer smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, the main reason is that everyone is greedy for the photos. Knowing that there are delicious foods but can't eat them, many people will feel uncomfortable, so I encourage you to do online sales."
Many home-cooked dishes were not served in Yushan Palace, but Ding Haili had seen them in Han's house.Reminded by the change of taste, he said: "Mr. Xiao, if our restaurant opens an online store, it will fall into the bottom line. But we can consider selling some special cured meat for customers to choose. For example, eggplant, Gold and silver livers and the like.”
Xiao Ke doesn't know much about online stores, but he feels that in the end it's just a sales channel, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.After pondering for a moment, he said: "It's the same wherever you sell it. If you go by express, you can't sell fresh vegetables, but these are fine. But let me find out first."
Seeing that he didn't say anything to death, Ni Guang replied ambiguously on his behalf, which immediately drew another round of cheers.As the number of retweeters increased, the number of diners who came to the Imperial Food Palace to taste the flying banquet also increased sharply.Many people heard that there are no seats, and even said that it doesn't matter, they can stand in the corridor to eat.
As the chef, Ding Haili was so busy that his feet didn't touch the floor, his legs were almost nailed to the stove, but he didn't feel tired at all, on the contrary, the busier he was, the more excited he became.After a round of work, he took the time to say to Xiao Ke who was still assisting in the filming: "Based on this momentum, we may be able to open a branch in the second half of the year."
Seeing today's hot scene, Xiao Ke also felt that this day is not far away, so he said: "Old Ding, you have been a chef for a long time, and you know a lot of people. Pay attention to whether there are people with reliable character and good qualifications. We It’s time to start cultivating branch chefs.”
Ding Haili nodded again and again, he already had a few candidates in his mind, and asked again: "Mr. Xiao Xiao, I know a few students. They are not badly talented and like this line of work, but they lack experience. Can I do it?"
"If you don't have experience, come in first and be an apprentice, and learn from you. Anyway, the new store won't open for a while, at least until I finish filming the next movie, and it will be the end of the year at the earliest." Xiao Can say.
"That's good." Ding Haili felt relieved and laughed silently.Those few students he met when he went back to his alma mater as a special lecturer, they were all good seedlings who were motivated, diligent and enlightened, but they lacked a little fire.Since Boss Xiao nodded his head and agreed to take him in for training first, I believe this small shortcoming will be smoothed out soon.
Of course, he also knows experienced people who can be used directly with a little training.When he was still working in his old company, he had brought in a few juniors, but after leaving, those people's attitude towards him was not as good as before.Not only is his attitude cold, but his speech is also much slower.After he came out, Lao Ding only contacted them once, and he didn't want to bother with them anymore.
Until recently, when they found that the business of the Imperial Food Palace was getting better and better, they changed their attitude and took the initiative to visit with gifts.Ask him how his salary is here, and directly express that he wants to jump over and hope that he can introduce it to the boss on his behalf.
For this kind of person, Lao Ding first said slowly that he was ashamed, and then quoted a salary that was twice as high as before.Wait for the other party's eyes to light up, and then say "the boss said there is no shortage of people", and you will be more angry than your life.
Even the boss himself pointed out that he wanted employees with reliable character, such people who were so popular and acted as a matter of course, it was better not to hire them to harm the restaurant.
Now that there are some guests who want to try something new, Ni Guang stayed with the photographer after finishing the dinner shooting, and planned to shoot all the new dishes at once.
After calculating the progress, it was estimated that after nine o'clock, Xiao Ke sent a message to Han Xilin, asking him to come here for dinner at that o'clock.
When receiving the message, Han Xilin was frowning at the marketing plan in the conference room.A group of subordinates carefully looked at the boss who was in a good mood in the morning, but put on a serious face during the meeting in the afternoon, and carefully considered every word he said, so as not to be caught and unfortunately become cannon fodder.
Han Xilin, who finally got his wish and spent a happy weekend, was in a bad mood because of Xiao Ke.
After going to the company to deal with a batch of things in the morning, he wanted He Lun to make arrangements for some things that required his presence to be done as soon as possible.Because in a few days, he will accompany Xiao Ke to film in other places.
But before he opened his mouth, He Lun saw a lot of brochure samples in his arms, asking him to have a look.It was only then that he remembered that it was already the beginning of July, and the peak sales season for the real estate industry, gold, nine and silver ten, was approaching.
With less than two months left, he has to sit at the headquarters to formulate and discuss different sales policies for different properties under his umbrella, no matter for this year's profits, shareholder dividends or employee year-end bonuses.What's more, he can't leave his post after the peak season. He needs to adjust his marketing strategy in a timely manner according to sales performance and competitors' trends.
According to Xiao Ke, Yin Jueyi is making a film for the first time, although there are many seniors who can ask for advice, but the progress will still be slower than other directors.It is estimated that the filming of the entire film will take half a year at the earliest. If there is an accident, it will have to be delayed for the New Year's Eve.
In other words, he had to go to him at least in November, and there was an interval of nearly four months.How does this make Han Xilin not depressed?
However, depression is depression, he did not let Xiao Ke push the show to accommodate his own ideas.He himself is a bit of a workaholic and has a strong sense of professionalism, so he can naturally understand Xiao Ke's idea of making achievements in his work.In his eyes, it is a big taboo to drag a partner's hind legs.
Can't accommodate, can't reschedule, then only accept the upcoming separation.Thinking of this, Director Han Da became even more irritable.
With a stricter attitude than usual, they picked on the reports submitted by various departments and ordered them to rectify the deficiencies within a time limit.After the meeting, Han Xilin decided to adjust the focus of his work again, freeing up as much time as possible before Xiao Ke left, even an extra hour of time together would be good.
After reading Xiao Ke's text message again, Han Xilin originally planned to take the opportunity to stay and work overtime, finish business affairs in advance, and come back to the company tomorrow afternoon.
But just after seven o'clock, people from the finance department asked him to check a large amount of expenses for publicity gifts.After signing, Han Xilin suddenly thought of the pillow that he asked He Lun to buy overnight last time, and the last time he went home, he secretly made up his mind about it.
What a mistake to forget about it on the weekend!
Han Xilin couldn't sit still when he thought that the props that had been highlighted earlier in the plan hadn't come in handy, and couldn't analyze the data calmly like before.
He immediately called his lover, "Xiao Ke, how is your progress going?"
Xiao Ke's voice was a bit mixed, obviously very busy, "It's slower than expected, I guess we'll have to wait a little longer, it might be around eleven o'clock. Is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay, just ask."
It will take so long, won't it be past twelve o'clock when I get home?After hanging up the phone, Han Xilin didn't think much, picked up his coat and went back to the apartment first.An hour or so later, carrying a paper bag, he appeared in the Imperial Food Palace where the diners were leaving.
I asked the waiter and learned that Xiao Ke was still busy taking pictures.He looked at his watch again, and found that it was not yet ten o'clock, and he probably had to wait a little longer, so Han Xilin decided not to bother, and just went to Xiao Ke's special lounge and waited.
Just as he was about to go in, the door of a box opened suddenly, and several people carrying camera equipment came out.Xiao Ke walked in the front and was talking to Ni Guang who he met at the opening last time.
Noticing that this was a gesture of seeing off guests, Han Xilin stepped aside, ready to wait for outsiders to leave before talking to Xiao Ke.
Unexpectedly, upon seeing him at first glance, surprise appeared on Xiao Ke's slightly tired face.Leaving aside the guests and walking quickly, he came to Han Xilin and said, "You were vague on the phone call just now, I thought you were going to work overtime again."
Xiao Ke's joy certainly made Han Xilin equally happy, but it was in a public place, so there was a lot of inconvenience.He took two steps back calmly, and at the same time reminded in a low voice, "This is outside."
"I know."
Xiao Ke didn't care.When other people approached, he took the initiative to introduce: "This is my good friend Han Xilin, Mr. Ni, you have met last time, right?"
"Yes, I have. I really admire Mr. Han's amazing drinking capacity." On the day of the opening, Han Xilin stayed by Xiao Ke's side all the way, and got very close to the Deng brothers. Ni Guang was naturally impressed.
When the word "wine" was mentioned, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Xiao, when will the lotus wine you mentioned just now be available for sale?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Ke was secretly ashamed.
It stands to reason that the wine should be brewed today, but Han Xilin has been entangled in these two days, and he always forgets to replace the petals and lotus leaves.As a result, the taste was not enough, so the launch had to be delayed.
"Just recently." As he spoke, Xiao Ke quickly changed the subject and introduced another guest, "Han Xilin, this is Mr. Dong, a well-known food photographer, and these are his team members. Thanks to their help today."
Han Xilin didn't know that Xiao Ke was slandering him, and was secretly moved by his unabashed introduction. He swept away his depression and greeted them with a smile.
He is majestic and imposing, and his gestures are full of grace, and he can tell the origin at a glance.The two couldn't help talking to him a few more words before leaving.
During the chatter, the few remaining tables of diners also dispersed.It was too late today, Xiao Ke asked the overtime employees not to clean up, and they can do it together when they go to work tomorrow morning.
After everyone left, Xiao Ke locked the front door, pulled Han Xilin into the kitchen, took out the lunch box from the refrigerator, warmed it up and put it in front of him, "I thought you wouldn't come."
Han Xilin was embarrassed to say what made him come here, so he responded vaguely, and hurriedly lowered his head to eat.
Xiao Ke had already noticed the paper bag in his hand, "What did you bring?"
"It's nothing, just a few sundries." Han Xilin said without changing his expression.
Xiao Ke believed it to be true, ignored it, and said instead: "I'm going to go to G city to shoot in a few days, you don't seem to have set up a branch there, right? In this way, we will have to separate for three or four months. I I just thought of a way for you, listen to how it goes."
Is Xiao Ke going to give up his career for himself?Although he didn't want him to do this, this decision meant that his lover valued himself more than his career. Han Xilin couldn't help being in a good mood, stopped his chopsticks, and asked hopefully, "Then what are you going to do?"
Xiao Ke said seriously: "I taught Lao Ding a few home-cooked dishes today. I dare not say that the taste he made is exactly the same as mine, but it is definitely the closest. Then someone will send it to you on time every day. .With him in charge, you should not be so reluctant to eat."
"..." The answer was contrary to what he expected, and Han Xilin couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Although his lover made the best arrangements for his meal, Han Xilin, who has been more concerned about certain aspects recently, still can't help but feel a little disappointed.
After finishing the meal in a hurry, he picked up the soup that Xiao Kexin handed over and drank it to the bottom. He went to the sink and rinsed his mouth with a handful of water.Finally, after drying his hands, he turned around and asked, "What about other aspects?"
"What else could be wrong?" Xiao Ke asked strangely.
"There's only one question." Han Xilin pulled him into his arms and stepped down.Consciously or unintentionally, she gently rubbed against him, and said very suggestively: "I miss you these days, what should I do?"
Although Xiao Ke also likes to do something, if asked face to face, he would never admit it, "...it's just for self-cultivation."
Han Xilin blew softly in his ear, "Are you willing to let me be a monk? By the way, why are you dressed like this today? Isn't it hot?"
"It's not all your fault." Speaking of this, Xiao Ke became angry and gave him a hard look.
But this action is really lacking in momentum, in Han Xilin's eyes, it is undoubtedly a wink.
Han Xilin, who had been urged by the schedule for a long time, made a decisive decision. Regardless of the exclamation, he directly carried Xiao Ke into the lounge, and even in his busy schedule, he did not forget to take the paper bag.
After a while, Xiao Ke who was placed on the table finally understood what his so-called sundries meant.
As soon as the bare skin touched the pillow, I don't know if it was a psychological effect. Xiao Ke always felt that the fine fur made him uncomfortable, so he immediately writhed, "Take it away, it's so itchy."
In the fuss, they didn't turn on the lights.The neon lights outside the window came in through the gaps in the curtains that were not drawn tightly.Although the color is light, it is enough to see the contours of each other's faces.
Seeing the ups and downs of Xiao Ke's waist, which was more fatal than he imagined, Han Xilin would not listen.Responding indiscriminately, seeing that he was about to reach out to pull the pillow away, he simply grabbed his wrist, wiped off the extremely elastic wrist guard, pushed Xiao Ke's hands over the top of his head and tied them together, making him unable to move.
Under him is the desk where he still works with others during the day, his hands are imprisoned, and he cannot move. Shame and coercion are both too exciting for Xiao Ke.When Han Xilin finally stopped moving and hugged him to the sofa, Xiao Ke's newly raised voice became hoarse again, and his face was covered with tears.
Han Xilin was impulsive at the moment, but he didn't expect to force Xiao Ke to this point, so he quickly coaxed him in a distressed whisper.
It was only afterward that Xiao Ke realized that he was crying.Although I knew that this was a purely physiological reaction like tears shed when I was in pain, I still felt deeply ashamed.It is even more inevitable to vent anger on Han Xilin, who is the chief culprit.
After he regained his composure, he resolutely slapped away Han Xilin's hand that wanted to dress him.When he returned to the apartment, he locked the door directly, even though Han Xilin tried every means to coax him outside, he ignored him.
Knowing that he had played too much this time, Han Xilin didn't dare to say anything more. Seeing that Xiao Ke hadn't responded, he had to go back to the room alone to rest.Knowing that he was wrong, he tossed and turned all night, until the next morning, when he found that Xiao Ke was still willing to make breakfast for him, he felt a little relieved.
Han Xilin tried to talk to him embarrassingly, but he was still treated as air and ignored.Helpless, Han Xilin had no choice but to go to work first.
What he didn't know was that Xiao Ke also stayed up almost all night.
But unlike Han Xilin's guilty conscience, Xiao felt that his lover had become "bad". Everything that happened last night was completely beyond the category of hooligans, but if it was a crime, it seemed a bit too much.He didn't know how to define Han Xilin's behavior, so he asked Almighty Network for advice.
But after searching around, he found that compared to such messy things as binding blindfolds, Han Xilin's actions were actually the most normal.According to many sources, this is only a small interest between ordinary couples, and it is harmless.
This result made Xiao Ke very unconvinced, and he was determined to find out rebuttal materials.Before he knew it, he spent most of the night on the Internet, but the results that met his expectations were pitiful and basically useless.
He had to study the materials he didn't like.I read it several times, trying to find the flaws.But in the end, instead of being able to fulfill his wish, he was almost persuaded by the other party's rigorous analysis of examples.
If Han Xilin's actions were not excessive, then wouldn't his own reaction be too much of a fuss?
Xiao Ke, who only squinted for a while at dawn, recalled this, and felt deeply confused while being embarrassed.But I was too embarrassed to discuss this kind of thing with my friends, so I decided to do something else to distract my attention.
He replaced the wine tank filter with freshly crushed flowers and leaves. He just wanted to contact Mr. Wen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and come to visit him. By the way, he asked Senior Fu Cheng, who had cheered him on for no reason at the opening last time, what was going on. .Before the call was made, he received an invitation from Father Han first.
It turned out that Father Han had already returned to City B yesterday afternoon.After a night of rest, he wanted to get together with some old buddies, so he asked Xiao Ke to temporarily stop him and leave him an empty table in the restaurant at night.
Even though the legal person of the restaurant wrote Father Han's name, he still respected himself so much and said hello in advance for everything.Xiao Ke was grateful, and offered to say that he would also go to the restaurant and cook for the old people himself.Father Han naturally said yes repeatedly.
Yin Jueyi's final draft of the script about World War II pilots had been sent out a few days ago, and Xiao Ke had just read half of it.While there was nothing to do, he read the rest in one go.After concentrating on the role for a long time, he realized that it was late, so he hurried to the restaurant.
In order to prepare the dishes, he arrived a little earlier.Anyway, he knew very well the tastes of Father Han and the others, and he knew what to do without asking.
Ding Haili graciously helped the boss.After preparing the dishes, I was just about to talk about the situation of those students before the busiest meal time.Suddenly seeing Han Xilin coming in, he hurriedly changed his greeting, "Hello, Mr. Han."
Although he had become acquainted with Father Han during the time in K City, he was still a little intimidated by this unsmiling Mr. Han.
Knowing that he must be looking for Xiao Ke, Lao Ding took the initiative to say: "Mr. Xiao Xiao, go and do your work. I will cook the leftover soup later."
Xiao Ke was deeply depressed by the staff's untimely thoughtfulness, but he couldn't say anything.Walking past Han Xilin with a straight face and exiting the kitchen, thinking about the huge restaurant with only the lounge and no idlers, even though he didn't want to see the "scene of the incident" again in the short term, he had to go in reluctantly.
The traces of last night had been cleaned up long ago, but when Xiao Ke saw that table, Xiao Ke still had a light on his back.Everything that happened at night seemed to be vividly remembered.
The silence didn't last long, and Han Xilin, who came here to make amends when he knew he was coming, took the initiative to admit his mistake, "Xiao Ke, I got carried away last night, I'm really sorry."
His solemn apology made Xiao Ke very uncomfortable.
After researching the information all night, I found that this is actually a little fun that modern people often play. His anger has almost disappeared by now, and the only thing left is his dissatisfaction with Han Xilin who started directly without saying hello.
However, it was a bit embarrassing for him to express his thoughts frankly.
After struggling for a moment, Xiao Ke became more and more at a loss as to what to say, so he simply turned his head to look out the window and continued to remain silent.
His appearance fell into Han Xilin's eyes, but he didn't want to forgive himself.
Han Xilin was deeply annoyed: I should have thought that the matter of the bed is the same as the relationship, and it needs to be done step by step.Knowing that Xiao Ke is easy to be shy, how come he still can't hold back and scares him?
Seeing that Xiao Ke never looked back, Han Xilin panicked and couldn't help but support his shoulder from behind, "Xiao Ke, can you just say something?"
