disappearing light years

Chi Mu just thought that He Xiaoli did not drink too much alcohol, let alone whether Xiao Nan was pregnant or not had anything to do with his late life, Yan Shuo's resignation alone was not a trivial matter, but it was good news when it came out of He Xiaoli's mouth.

After further questioning, he understood the deep meaning of those two pieces of news: one was that there were rumors that Xiao Nan was pregnant with a child that was not Cheng Hao's own, and there was a lot of conflict between the husband and wife; the other was that Yan Shuo He resigned because he had another place to go. An American doctor named Nuo Dan came to Beijing to open a private clinic. When he was looking for talents, he was introduced to Yan Shuo's doorstep. The salary he offered was three times that of Yan Shuo's original hospital. The so-called people go to high places, and just got angry with "Zhou Libo", Yan Shuo naturally resigned immediately without saying a word.

"Yesterday, I accompanied Xiang Lang to the hospital to check on his mother's condition. It happened that Cheng Hao and Xiao Nan were arguing in the ward. I will tell you quietly that Cheng Hao is not wearing a wedding ring." He Xiaoli's voice was full of tears. Cheering excitedly, "You really didn't see the expression he had on Xiao Nan at that time, the flesh was about to fall off his face."

Chi Mu tried hard to think for a while, but after all, he was incapable of imagining, and he didn't bother to think about it anymore. He really didn't want to have anything to do with Cheng Hao now.After exchanging a few words with He Xiaoli, he hung up the phone, turned around, and found Jiang Yuchen standing by the window, holding his newly bought cake album and reading it with gusto.

"Do you like sweets?" Jiang Yuchen turned his head and waved at him the huge tiramisu in his hand.

"I don't like it." Chi Mu said decisively, "I'm from the south. I like spicy food, but I don't like sweet food. Someone gave me that book."

"Who will give you this kind of book?"

"He Xiaoli." Chi Mu didn't know why he lied to Jiang Yuchen, so he could only pull He Xiaoli out in a hurry.Jiang Yuchen nodded understandingly, closed the album, and said, "Let's do it, how about it."

Chi Mu was taken aback for a moment, then his heart beat like thunder, "Do...what?"

"Cakes, of course."

"..."

"Otherwise what do you think it is?"

If there was a stone at hand, Chi Mu would definitely lift it up and hit his head just like that. He lowered his eyes resentfully, secretly glad that Jiang Yuchen might not have seen through his nasty idea just now, and said, "I don't have any materials for making cakes here, and I will I'm also busy, and I have to catch up with the manuscript..."

"If you don't have any materials, just go buy it." Jiang Yuchen urged Yan Mu, "Put on your clothes and go out."

Chi Mu had no choice but to follow him around the supermarket outside. He pushed the cart while Jiang Yuchen put the items on the shelves into it. The two of them walked side by side like an old married couple.Chi Mu looked at Jiang Yuchen's profile, and inexplicably felt that a hidden place in his heart was slightly touched.

"I didn't expect to buy rum in such a small supermarket." Jiang Yuchen picked up an amber glass bottle with a cheerful voice.

Chi Mu took it from his hand and nodded: "Now everything is ready."

Jiang Yuchen asked in surprise, "Don't buy some rice wine anymore?"

"What do you buy rice wine for?"

"Don't you want to try to make that bitter tiramisu?"

Chi Mu's heart moved, he really didn't expect Jiang Yuchen to be thinking about that kind of thing, but he said: "No need, if you don't know the amount of rice wine added, it will be a failure and a waste of materials, why don't you try to make some Orthodox Italian tiramisu." Jiang Yuchen nodded disapprovingly, "It's fine." Even so, when it was time to check out, Chi Mu took out his wallet and prepared to pay, but Jiang Yuchen brought a big bowl out of nowhere Put rice wine in the cart.

"Try it." He looked at Chi Mu's puzzled eyes and said, "If you don't try everything, you won't know the result."

Chi Mu wanted to refute, and wanted to say that since he could probably guess the result, it would be better not to try, because some things were a waste of time to do, but seeing Jiang Yuchen's serious expression, he swallowed the words back in his throat strangely.

The method of tiramisu is not complicated, nor is it simple. This kind of cake is made of cream, chocolate, and rum poured layer by layer. The technique must be precise, and the amount of rum Also be accurate.If Chi Mu is the only one, it is absolutely impossible to do it, and he will not have the leisure to do this kind of thing, but adding Jiang Yuchen will make the difference immediately. There is a half-breed who grew up eating Western food abroad as a guide. People can make this kind of Western-style pastries decently.

Jiang Yuchen's expression was very focused. He opened the album and put it on the hanging cabinet. Given his height, he could see it when he looked up. Chi Mu could only help him, mixing cream, hot chocolate, grinding cocoa powder, etc., busy It was such a joy.When Jiang Yuchen made it, he used dim sum eyes, a round cake, and he added rum on one side and rice wine on the other side, experimenting without wasting the least time.

This cake took them a whole three hours, but neither of them felt tired, and Chi Mu was still looking forward to it when he finally sprinkled cocoa powder on the cake—maybe Jiang Yuchen's attempt can be successful, and they can make that kind of special cake "Bitter and sweet" tiramisu?

Cut out a small piece from one side of the cake, Jiang Yuchen asked Chi Mu to taste it first, Chi Mu took a bite and added the side of rum, the taste was rich and mellow, his eyes lit up immediately, "Not bad, very authentic!"

"I added a spoonful of rum more than what was stated in the book. I always thought that if the wine tasted weak, the cake would be tasteless. Now it seems that my judgment is correct." Jiang Yuchen cut out a piece of rice wine Take it in front of you and take a sip.

"How is it?" Chi Mu asked expectantly.

Jiang Yuchen glanced at him, then silently pushed the piece of cake back, "Failed."

Chi Mu didn't believe it, so he took a sip. As a result, his mouth was full of strong wine smell, and there was also a strange taste mixed with rice wine cream. The bitterness was bitter enough, but there was nothing else but bitterness.

"Bitter and sweet at the same time is really not that easy to make. It seems that the master of that shop put a lot of effort into it." Chi Mu sighed.

Although failure is the mother of success, the two of them really didn't have the nature to continue trying. They divided the successful half of the cake one by one, put the failed half in the refrigerator, and started drinking again.

Half a bottle of rum and half a bowl of rice wine, it’s not very strong when you drink it, but it’s full of stamina. When you’re late and groggy, you feel like someone picked him up and put him on the bed. He was the only one here - Jiang Yuchen went back last night.

Chi Mu has always thought that she can drink quite well, but she never thought that she would be overwhelmed by a little rice wine, it's funny to say it.He rubbed his hair and opened the refrigerator to get a glass of milk. He happened to see Jiang Yuchen's half-failed work.

The same is tiramisu, and the same has a layered and bright appearance. That one has long been used by them to feed their hunger, but this one can only lie alone in the refrigerator waiting to mold, because of the difference in the alcohol added to it.Looking at the poor piece of cake, Chi Mu suddenly felt an impulse to take it out, and ate it clean with a spoon.

The process was very painful, and the pungent taste made his tongue numb, but after eating the whole thing, at the moment of aftertaste, he seemed to have captured the faint trace of mellowness.

Chi Mu's eyes lit up, it was a feeling of bitterness first and then sweetness.

It seems that Jiang Yuchen didn't fail completely, he just didn't have the courage to taste it to the end.

Two days later, Yan Shuo finally bid farewell to his autistic career and started to work in his new clinic. Because the location was close to the editorial office, he wandered around his new office during his lunch break. The new boss, Nordan, is an American who looks a lot like Tom Cruise.

This "Tom Cruise" seemed to take good care of Yan Shuo, and when he heard that Chi Mu was Yan Shuo's friend, he immediately yelled "oh! it's very very nice to meet you!" A very American hug.

Chi Mu was flattered.

During lunch, Yan Shuo asked him: "What do you think of Nuo Dan?"

"Very good." Chi Mu said, "Very enthusiastic. It's definitely better for you to work with him than to stay in that maddening hospital."

"I'm not referring to work matters." Yan Shuo sighed softly and put down his chopsticks, "I just want to ask your opinion, what do you think of Nuo Dan, I'm considering whether to take it or not. Fall in love with him."

"Ah?" Chi Mu was completely startled by Yan Shuo's sudden words, and didn't recover for a long time.

"I don't know if Americans are so straightforward. The second day after seeing me, Nuo Dan asked me if I was gay, saying that he admired me and wanted to date me." Yan Shuo ate the noodles in the bowl slowly, "I thought about it and thought it would be good to agree to him."

"Do you want to learn from He Xiaoli?" Chi Mu couldn't help but laugh, "You've only known each other for a few days? Besides, he's still your boss now. If one day you break up with him, wouldn't you have to look for a new job?"

The idea of ​​being late is not unreasonable. It's just like many companies prohibit dating between colleagues and superiors. Not to mention delays in work. Once there is a relationship problem, it will definitely affect the entire department because of personal grievances. The operation is not worth the candle.

"But people always have to start anew, right?" Yan Shuo looked into Chi Mu's eyes, "I think, if I don't let another person into my life immediately, then I will never be able to put Gu Mingan's The shadow is completely driven out."

"Gu Mingan...do you miss him?"

"I don't know how to say it. It should be thinking, but as soon as I think of him, I immediately think of his son and the fact that he lied to me. The more I think about it, the sadder I become. I just don't want to."

Chi Mu knew that Yan Shuo had walked into a dead end, and wanted to use another person's strength to climb out, he thought for a moment, and cautiously said: "Can't you really forgive him?"

Yan Shuo raised his eyes: "If I ask you to forgive Cheng Hao, will you?"

"These are completely different things." Chi Mu said, "Gu Ming'an is different from Cheng Hao, you understand."

Yan Shuo was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Chi Mu, maybe you don't understand my feelings at all."

After the meal, both of them felt that it was boring. Chi Mu sent Yan Shuo back to the office and was about to leave, but Nuo Dan chased him out and presented him with a bouquet of bright red roses, "This is a gift for you." For you."

Chi Mu stared blankly at the tall blond man in front of him, unable to understand what he meant for a moment.

Nuo Dan grinned, "Sorry, I don't think I made it clear, Feng asked me to forward it to you."

"Feng?" Chi Mu thought for a while, and suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Chen Yufeng?"

"Yes!" Nuo Dan nodded, "Feng is my classmate in the United States. Thanks to him, I was able to meet Yan. I like Yan very much. I want to thank him. He asked me to send you this bouquet of flowers for him."

Nuo Dan's Chinese was obviously not good enough, but Chi Mu still understood it, and it was even more inconceivable for a while, Chen Yufeng knew that Yan Shuo lost his job?Chen Yufeng introduced Nuo Dan to Yan Shuo's new job?Chen Yufeng also indirectly matched the two of them?Chen Yufeng sending flowers to himself?What is Chen Yufeng's plan?

He looked at the bunch of bright red roses in front of him, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Nuo Dan, I can't take this bunch of flowers."

"Why?" Nuo Dan showed a puzzled expression.

"Chen Yufeng should understand." Chi Mu said: "And please help me tell him that he even asked others to deliver a bouquet of flowers, it's really..."

"I didn't!" Chen Yufeng suddenly rushed out from the next room, startling Chi Mu's boss, he snatched the flower from Nuo Dan's hand, stood in front of Chi Mu, his face turned red, "I...I just I'm afraid you won't accept it if I give it to you, it's not that I don't want to give it to you personally."

Chi Mu rubbed his forehead, "Yu Feng, I have always regarded you as a friend, why are you doing this?"

"You know I like you." Chen Yufeng showed a painful expression on his face, and slowly lowered his hand, "I don't ask you to agree now, I can wait, if you don't want to accept this bouquet... just don't accept it. "
