crime of blindness

Even though He Fengye's mood for the banquet was very complicated, he had to admit that Shen Ji had made the best choice on the location.Bailuting takes a quiet place in the old city. The courtyard is deep, simple and unique. Once you enter the courtyard, you will leave the whole bustling city behind.As New Year's Eve approached, the Bailu Court was full of guests, but everything was still in order. The butler led the guests to their private rooms to ensure that each guest would not be disturbed when they entered the Bailu Court.

He Fengye thought helplessly, not only the location, Shen Ji is always making the best choice, but many things don't need the best choice.

The private room Shen Ji booked was on the first floor. Looking out of the one-way French windows, several wintersweet plants were in full bloom against the snow, and there were several cut plum blossoms in the room, with a delicate fragrance.

The dishes were ordered in advance, Shen Jirang served them later, and ordered a set of tea first.It's not time for dinner yet, so he plans to express his love to He Fengye first, and then have a happy lunch together.

It's just that at this point, he was somewhat nervous, Shen Ji's ears were already red before he could speak, he cleared his throat, put the gift box with the watch and the printed variety show plan on the table, his back was straightened.He usually called Brother He Fengyi, or Brother Xiaofeng, but this time he changed his address, "Mr. He."

He Fengye intentionally made the atmosphere less awkward, and poured him a cup of tea.

"Here are two gifts I prepared for you." Shen Ji pushed the things over, "I have invited you here today because I have an important matter."

He Fengyi didn't touch the gift box, but only picked up the plan that was under the gift box.The planning is well-organized, the key content is highlighted, and the words are concise and clear at a glance.With just a cursory look, it is clear that it is a top-level project created by Shen Ji for him, and this project is by no means a painting, every clause can be implemented.It's the style of a gold medal producer.

He Fengye closed the plan calmly, and looked at Shen Ji seriously.Since he came today, he is ready, no matter what Shen Ji is about to say, he will give this younger brother who has grown up with enough respect.

Seeing He Fengyi put down the project, Shen Ji was a little surprised, "Mr. He, are you satisfied with the project?"

He Fengye said: "Is this a variety show you specially created for me?"

Shen Ji put his hands on his legs, squeezed lightly, "Yes."

He Fengye asked gently: "Why?"

Shen Ji heard his heartbeat beating loudly. The difficulty of confessing was beyond his imagination. He swallowed, his back began to sweat, his eyes wandered a few times, and then he brought up the courage that was almost vented, "Mr. He , we have all reached the age when we should resolve major issues in life, and we are also the most suitable and helpful people for each other, I like you very much, please accept the confession of my gift, and stay with me."

After saying this, Shen Ji's cheeks were already hot and red, and he pronounced the last three words "together" with trembling sounds.In the field of vision, He Fengye frowned slowly, not seeing any surprises, nor surprised, as if he knew what he was going to say and was troubled by it.

Shen Ji was startled, He Fengye's reaction was not what he expected, and he was momentarily at a loss.

After a pause, He Fengye pushed the two gifts back to the distance, "Xiaoji, I'm sorry, I can't accept it."

Shen Ji opened his eyes wide, stunned for a moment, doubts appeared in his eyes before sadness, "I...what's wrong?"

He Feng expected that Shen Ji would ask such a question.Shen Ji has been like this ever since he came to his aunt's house. If he didn't get the desired result in anything, he would think that he didn't do well, and kept looking for reasons on himself.But many things, including the current one, were not achieved because of Shen Ji's failure.

"Xiao Ji, listen to me, there is nothing wrong with you, but the two of you choose to be together, not just because the other is good." He Fengye looked directly into Shen Ji's eyes, "We are not suitable."

Shen Ji was still at a loss, and couldn't quite understand what He Fengye said was inappropriate, "But I have weighed it, and you are the most suitable person for me. I can't find a more ideal partner than you. I also stand on your side. I have considered me from different angles, and I should be the most suitable for you, and I can be of greatest help to your career."

"But life is more than career, and love and career cannot be equated." He Fengye said patiently: "Thinking about a person from the perspective of 'whether it is useful' or not is not love in the first place."

Shen Ji shook his head, pressing the corner of his lips tightly.

"In love, you not only see the other person's advantages, but also the disadvantages that make you tired." He Fengyi said: "Xiaoji, I am not the person you are really looking for."

Shen Ji said stubbornly: "You are. I didn't know anything before, I was ignorant, and I couldn't read well. It was you who helped me. You ran ahead, and I followed your footsteps closely. No one is better than you .”

He Fengye said: "So you are looking for a partner."

Shen Ji's eyes froze, this statement is true for him, life is a career, and of course a partner is a collaborator.

"Xiaoji, I'm actually very happy with what you said just now. I didn't expect to help you so much and hold such a heavy weight in your heart." He Feng said warmly: "If you need anything in the future, I will still be obliged. to help you, but not as a partner."

Shen Ji clutched his trousers tightly, and a dull sadness finally surged up. He failed in his confession. He Fengye is his ideal type, but he is not the person He Fengye needs. He is not good enough. He Fengye is better than him. A better choice.He shook his head and whispered, "That doesn't make sense."

"How can it be meaningless? Since you were more than ten years old, everything I have done with you as a family member has no meaning?" He Fengyi said: "Xiao Ji, you are on the edge of your horn. I can't accept your confession , because I have no love for you, I already have a lover. But this does not conflict with me being your family, your brother."

Shen Ji raised his eyes in surprise, his eyelashes fluttered, "You...you have a lover?" The sadness was even stronger than before, it turned out that someone had already taken the position of He Fengye's partner, and he was a better ideal type than him.

He Fengye saw Shen Ji's psychology, "If you follow your standard of love, he is actually not my ideal type."

"Ok?"

"He can't guide me in front of me, so he may not be of much help to my career, and there are still some minor problems." He Fengyi's tone unconsciously revealed affection, "But we are suitable for each other and love each other."

Shen Ji opened his mouth slightly, it was difficult to immediately digest He Fengye's words, he did not turn around, but was eager to express, "I can make a better plan."

He Fengye knew that Shen Ji had been hit hard and was already in chaos. He felt sorry for his younger brother, and it was precisely because of this that he could not drag his feet. "It has nothing to do with planning. Xiaoji, you are looking for a partner. What to do, and whether you can provide the other party with the same help."

Shen Ji's eyes were red, he couldn't listen to He Fengye's words, and blamed himself for not being good enough.

"Love is blind." He Fengye said: "You can understand it as two blind people committing a crime together. It's hard to control your love and you can't help yourself."

Shen Ji lowered his head and remained silent.

He Fengye looked at the time, went outside and asked the housekeeper to serve the food in a quarter of an hour.He couldn't accompany Shen Ji to eat this meal, Shen Ji needed to be alone and calm down, after he finished what he had to say, staying in front of Shen Ji would only make Shen Ji even more confused and stuck in a corner.

"Xiao Ji, I'll go back first." He Fengyi took the coat and put on the hat and mask, "We are family, and this will never change."

After a soft door closing sound, the room suddenly became quiet.Shen Ji stared blankly at the gift box and the plan, the two cups of tea that hadn't been touched by anyone still had a wisp of steam, the plum fragrance was cold, as if it had the smell of winter snow.

Shen Ji felt that he should reflect on himself and think about He Fengye's words, but in fact, until the butler served the dishes, his mind was still empty and he didn't think about anything.

Bai Yu stood by the window with arms folded, watching the man who came with Shen Ji leave.When they came, he also saw that the man was taller than Shen Ji, his face was tightly covered, Shen Ji was dressed very formally, and he was holding an exquisite gift bag in his hand.The two entered the private room together, but now only the man left.

Combining those two personal dynamics, Bai Yu was sure that Shen Ji wanted to confess to the other party, but failed.

Bai Yu frowned, and entered Shen Ji's circle of friends again.The roses are as red as fire, but they are too late to be used.He still thought it was funny when he saw the six words of "complete Qigong in one battle" before. How could anyone cheer him up like this?Looking at it now, I can't help but feel sad for Shen Ji.

He had seen the dishes Shen Ji ordered, and he cooked three of them, all of which were Bailuting's signatures, and they were expensive.Gifts, roses, dishes, and even today's attire all showed sincerity, but before the dishes were served, those who came together left first.

Bai Yu thought, Teacher Shen must be very sad now.He tried to refresh Moments, but Shen Ji didn't post anything.

The dishes were all served, Shen Ji looked at them in a daze.Not long ago he thought that Bailuting was the best private restaurant in Huicheng, but now he has no appetite.But his stomach grunted at this moment, reminding him that it was time to eat.He suddenly thought of the coconut egg yolk steamed cake that he ordered every time he came for breakfast, and asked the housekeeper if he could serve one.

The butler said that this was breakfast and no lunch was served, Shen Ji's eyes darkened.The housekeeper thought for a while, then went back to the kitchen and asked if we could add coconut egg yolk steamed cake. Bai Yu heard it and asked, "Which customer needs it?"

The housekeeper told the truth, and Bai Yu said, "Please wait a moment."

Shen Ji managed to sort out his emotions, and was about to leave, but the housekeeper went back and forth, and said with a smile that the master who made the steamed coconut egg yolk cake happened to be here today, and he made it himself.Shen Ji's eyes lit up, he sat down and waited.

Bai Yu always cooks casually in Bailuting, but this time he did it very carefully.When the butler came to pick up the meal, he asked, "Boss, can you deliver it yourself?"

Bai Yu shook his head.I accidentally peeped into Shen Ji's private affairs, and if I show up at this time, no matter what I say, it will only make Shen Ji more embarrassed.

Shen Ji looked at the coconut egg yolk steamed cake with the little red flag on it, picked up the spoon after a while, and ate it in small bites.

Ten minutes later, Bai Yu watched Shen Ji leave, then looked down at the note in his hand.It was brought by the housekeeper, and it said: Thank you for the steamed cake, happy new year.
