The eight-year-old canary flew away

The birthday banquet was not over yet, but Ye Baisi had no intention of going in to eat at all.

It's windy today, not too strong, but cold.

With the car keys in Ji Ce's hand, Ye Baisi took the cigarettes from the plate for the guests, walked out all the way, and stopped at a leeward corner.

Duan Chen walked up, his tall figure formed a right angle with the base of the wall, blocking the last ray of wind outside.

Ye Baisi lowered his eyes to light a cigarette, the cigarette butt touched the flames and burned, Duan Chen frowned slightly, and said, "You have learned to smoke in just a few days."

Ye Baisi was noncommittal.

He didn't want to say a word to Duan Chen.

He thought he knew him well, but if Duan Chen was willing to spend a little more time on him, he would find that Ye Baisi had never lied to him.

When Duan Chen first noticed Jin Yue, he said he wanted to get to know A and analyze the power behind A. Ye Baisi told him that A had no power. Duan Chen looked at him unexpectedly: "You seem to know him very well."

"Because I am A."

Duan Chen didn't believe a single word. He looked at Ye Baisi who was seriously folding his clothes, smiled for a while, and then walked over and put his arms around his waist.

The man's chin rested on his shoulder, and he asked in a low voice, "Is it my fault, too much attention has been paid to him recently?"

He thought Ye Baisi was looking for a sense of presence.

Duan Chen seldom asked Ye Baisi how to deal with the presents.Of course, at the beginning, Duan Chen once discovered that Ye Baisi carefully kept those gifts in a small room, and would go there regularly to clean and take care of them.

So, one day, when Duan Chen casually asked where the gift was, Ye Baisi told him lightly, "It's sold."

Duan Chen didn't delve into the hidden meaning of this sentence at all, but his expression became unhappy because of Ye Baisi's words: "Why are you angry again, did you hurt you last night?"

At that moment, Ye Baisi clearly realized that every word he said to Duan Chen was just a waste.

The gift was gone, and Duan Chen also felt that he secretly hid it, because Ye Baisi was angry, so he pretended to sell it on purpose.

He didn't care, and he didn't bother to expose Ye Baisi, because he was too busy.What's more, as long as Ye Baisi is still around, the sky will never fall.

Ye Baisi didn't say a word, Duan Chen stood for a while, his expression was a little stiff, he touched his pocket, but couldn't find any cigarettes, so he could only stand dryly and look at Ye Baisi.

Ye Baisi seemed to be doing well after leaving him, his face was still white and delicate, there was no blue shadow under his clear eyes, his lips were light red, even if he didn't do anything, it was shockingly beautiful.

Duan Chen moved his hand, wanting to touch him, even the corner of his clothes, but thinking of Ye Baisi's words outside the restaurant that day, he restrainedly hid his hand behind his back.

"Why don't you go in and have something to eat." Duan Chen suggested, "In such a cold day, eating something will warm you up."

Ye Baisi raised his eyes, looked past Duan Chen to look at the sky, and was slightly squinted by the bright sky.He exhaled the last smoke ring, walked around Duan Chen, and threw the cigarette butt into the smoke extinguisher on the trash can.

Throughout the whole process, he never looked directly at Duan Chen, as if he was just a cloud of air.

Duan Chen had never been ignored before, his chest was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, he caught up with two steps suddenly, grabbed Ye Baisi's wrist, the latter was forced to turn around, and met his gaze.

"Ye Baisi, do you really want to treat me like this? Eight years, is there really nothing left between you and me?"

"Of course there is." Ye Baisi said calmly, "You and I still have self-esteem."

Duan Chen's face was ugly: "Do you think that I have lost even the most basic self-esteem because I am stalking me so hard now? Is that what you mean?"

"if not?"

Duan Chen's lips were tightened, bent and straightened, repeating the cycle.Seeing Ye Baisi's indifferent expression, he slowly let go of his hand, and said, "How did you become like this..."

Ye Baisi wanted to laugh a little, he looked at Duan Chen mockingly, the latter subconsciously let go.

Ye Baisi smoothed his wrinkled cuffs and turned around.

Duan Chen really wanted to be free and easy, it would be best to watch Ye Baisi leave coldly, today is the last time, and we will never see each other again.

But he found that he was full of unwillingness. He must have been possessed by evil spirits, and he couldn't control his tongue.

"Ye Baisi." He stopped the other party again, and said, "I helped you just now, how about it, should you also treat me to a meal?"

Ye Baisi was silent for a moment, then turned around again, and said, "This is what it should be, and I don't want to owe you anything."

Duan Chen: "..."

He didn't mean it that way.

"When do you want to eat?"

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day." Duan Chen said in a deep voice, "Right now."

"Okay." Ye Baisi agreed very simply, and he said, "Where should we go to eat?"

"...Can you." Duan Chen forced himself to be cold, but his tone was full of uncertainty: "Go to your house."

"Yes." Ye Baisi was still very straightforward: "After all, you help me first, and of course your wishes come first."

Just as Duan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he answered again: "But I still have to make it clear that you are not welcome in my family."

A brief silence.

Duan Chen stared at him, and said for a while: "Then go to Jiaoshan, I haven't eaten the meal you cooked for a long time."

"Also." Ye Baisi still said the same words: "Although I am very reluctant, I can promise you."

Blue veins popped up on Duan Chen's forehead: "Don't say it, I seem to be threatening you."

"Isn't it?"

"I helped you." Duan Chen emphasized restraintly: "I helped you, so you want to treat me to a meal..."

Who knows why he is so humble, Duan Chen's eye circles began to turn red: "Is this too much?"

Ye Baisi looked at him for a while, then said, "Will you cry for me?"

Duan Chen slightly opened his eyes, and said slowly: "Don't bully people too much."

"Okay, let's go."

Caught off guard by the end of the topic, Duan Chen was stunned for a moment, his red eyes jumped with joy, he reservedly caught up, and kept walking at the same speed as Ye Baisi.

Ye Baisi sent a message to Ji Ce and took a step first, Duan Chen had already chased off the driver and opened the passenger door, and when he noticed him looking over, he pretended to be nonchalant and averted his gaze.

Ye Baisi got into the car, Duan Chen immediately closed the door, exhaled lightly, gathered his coat, walked around the front of the car, and sat in the driver's seat himself.

Turning sideways to fasten Ye Baisi's seat belt, he realized that Ye Baisi had already fastened it on his own initiative.

Duan Chen paused, retracted, and said, "Then you decide where we will eat."

"casual."

In the past, Duan Chen's meals were all decided by Ye Baisi. Duan Chen would eat whatever he said to eat. Even when it was time to celebrate, he only needed to say in general: "Be richer." Ye Baisi always has an idea.

Ye Baisi refused to cook for him, and he had reached this point, and he didn't want to force him, so he searched for restaurants in his mind, but his mind went blank for a while.

He said: "Whatever, where should I settle?"

Ye Baisi put away his phone and looked at him expressionlessly, while Duan Chen held the steering wheel and did not look at him.

"Duan Yingying." Ye Baisi said, "You really are a giant baby."

Duan Chen was shocked.

"Are you still undecided about such trivial matters as eating?" Ye Baisi glanced at his chest, and said, "No wonder you can even wear the brooch backwards."

Duan Chen immediately covered his chest, his face turning green and pale.

Ye Baisi had already closed his eyes, and said, "Ask your Assistant Xie, let him make a decision for you."

Duan Chen took the phone and sent a text message to Xie Ning with a sullen head.

While he was driving, he kept an eye on his phone. Xie Ning was dutiful and quickly sent a list of restaurants, including their location, and mentioned everything about the taste and environment.

Soon, Ye Baisi heard him say: "Let's go eat Japanese food."

Ye Baisi remained silent, Duan Chen drove slowly, and said, "Or, eat French food?"

"Duan Yingying." Ye Baisi didn't even lift his eyelids: "Only children would keep asking for other people's opinions on such trivial matters."

Duan Chen: "..."

The accelerator was stepped on the bottom suddenly.

When he was about to reach the place, Duan Chen began to regret again. He arrived so soon, he should drive more slowly.

So the car moved forward like an old cow, and circled the commercial area twice, until Ye Baisi opened his eyes and saw the entrance of the parking lot slowly moving to the rear.

He looked at Duan Chen.

Duan Chen's face gradually turned red, he bit his bullet and completed the remaining laps, he didn't know how many times he came to the entrance of the parking lot, and got in in one go.

After stopping in the parking space, Ye Baisi opened the door and walked down. Duan Chen said, "It's on the fourth floor."

He turned around, but heard the footsteps behind him getting farther and farther away, and was immediately displeased: "Ye Baisi, do you want to go back on your word?"

Ye Baisi had already turned the corner in Area A, and a light voice came: "The elevator is here."

There were not many people coming to eat at this time, and there were only the two of them when waiting for the elevator.

When Ye Baisi scanned his chest again, he found that the reversed brooch was gone, and he didn't know how busy he was when he took it out, and even got the thread off.

The elevator came down quickly, and Duan Chen walked in beside him, and found that there were still only the two of them here, and suddenly hoped that there would be some malfunction in the elevator, and it would be better if we could spend a little longer alone.

The sky failed, and the elevator stopped on the fourth floor. Ye Baisi asked, "Which store?"

"under the mount Fuji."

Ye Baisi led the way, and the two entered the Japanese grocery store together. Duan Chen asked for a private room, the two took off their shoes, cleaned their hands by the bamboo faucet on one side, and then sat down at the table.

This was the first time the two sat together for dinner since Ye Baisi proposed to end it.

The process was a bit tortuous, but after sitting face to face with Ye Baisi, Duan Chen suddenly felt a little familiar satisfaction in his heart.

He found out in a daze that when Ye Baisi was by his side, this satisfaction was always there, but because he was used to it, he ignored it.

Ye Baisi left, the satisfaction disappeared, and his heart was empty.

Duan Chen took the menu, looked at it himself, and suddenly thought of something, gently pushed it in front of Ye Baisi, and said, "Order first."

"I'll eat anything."

Duan Chen had no choice but to take it back, and ordered everything recommended by the shop.

The waiter in kimono was very surprised, and reminded in a soft voice: "There are so many, two people may not be able to finish it."

"It's okay." Duan Chen handed over the menu, "Bring another pot of sake."

The waiter took his leave and closed the door intimately.

There were only two people left in the room. Ye Baisi's mobile phone was placed on the table, and his fingers kept flicking on it, as if playing a small game.

The waiter quickly served the sake, brought the wine warmer, and put the small pot on it to simmer.

After the surrounding became quiet again, Duan Chen felt that it was necessary to find something to talk about.

He has a lot to say to Ye Baisi.

When the words came to my lips, they turned into: "You're recent, how are you?"

Ye Baisi's voice was as gentle as ever: "If you weren't an eyesore."

Duan Chen's peaceful and beautiful heart was turned upside down by him again.
