Hey, dive in!

It wasn't until he came to the hot pot restaurant that Li Kai's depressed mood was relieved.Contrary to imagination, this is not a food stall, but a hot pot restaurant opened in a residential building.

Just now Mu Yang led him to this place after many turns and turns. The location is relatively hidden, and there is a small sign at the door, which says "Couple Hot Pot".

The decoration of the store is very warm, very neat and clean, which makes Li Kai very satisfied.The inside was full of guests, and the proprietress was busy with the guests while doing homework. As soon as she saw them coming in, she greeted Mu Yang warmly, "Young man, you haven't been here for a long time, come and sit here."

"It's been a long time, auntie, let's have a red pot and two garlic dishes."

"Okay! Wait!"

Sitting on the seat, Mu Yang handed the menu to Li Kai, "Order what you want to eat, the food here is delicious, clean and hygienic, eat it with confidence."

The two ordered the dishes and chatted while waiting. Mu Yang had a lot of questions and wanted to ask Li Kai.

"Why do you live in our community? Don't other big bosses live in bungalows or villas?"

Li Kai took a sip of tea, "I moved in when the building we lived in was just built, and it's been 20 years now. In fact, it was pretty good to have such a house in that era. At that time I am only 12 years old, my father and mother are small workers in the factory, their monthly wages add up to only a few hundred dollars, maybe they are not willing to live their lives in obscurity, they resolutely quit their jobs in the factory and went into business , after several years of struggle, they posted... During that time, I lived alone in that old house, and they came back to visit me occasionally. When their careers became bigger and bigger, they decided to send me to study abroad , when I was about to leave, I was actually reluctant to tell them not to sell the house, but to keep it as a souvenir. Maybe there will be a place to stay when I come back someday. They have money, and such a small request will definitely satisfy me. When I go abroad , everything was prepared for me. I have a bungalow to live in and a car to drive. Occasionally, I still think of the old house in my hometown. Later, my father was old and had no energy to take care of the company, so he asked me to go back to China to help him take care of it. The company, when I first came into contact with the company's business, was really busy. I ran outside almost every day, and sometimes I slept in the company when I was tired. Until I mastered all the business and gained everyone's trust, another three years passed. Now the company is running well, and the work is not as busy as it was at first, so I have time to look at the old house."

"So, you have a deep affection for this house, so you don't live in a bungalow, and you would rather live in this old building?" Mu Yang seemed to understand why this man was so indifferent.A person lives in an old house, cooks, eats, and cleans up the house by himself. His childhood is lonely. A person's character is inextricably linked to his growth environment, which makes him the character he is today. Independent and withdrawn, he would rather endure too much loneliness and pain than mention it to others. In fact, what he wants is not much, just a right person and a warm home.

Alas, he is a man who lacks love!Mu Yang sighed, he didn't enjoy the warmth of a family when he was a child, and was abandoned by his wife when he grew up, how could this person be so unlucky? !

Li Kai looked at the steaming hot pot in front of him. Chopped green onion, sliced ​​ginger, pepper, and other ingredients were rolling in the pot. The smoke was lingering and the aroma was overflowing. He felt a little warmth in his heart.

"It should be." He said lightly.

At this time, the hot pot was served, and Mu Yang took out a pair of convenient chopsticks from the chopstick holder and handed it to him, and then put the side dishes into the pot, "It will be ready to eat in a while." After helping the two prepare the ingredients, Mu Yang suddenly asked. Laughed, "You used to live in a bungalow abroad, drive a car, and drive by yourself when you go back to China, no wonder you haven't taken the subway. Sigh! You rich people have such a good living environment, you really missed a lot of ordinary and beautiful things. For example, this hot pot restaurant, I don’t bring you here, you sure don’t know that someone will open a hot pot restaurant in the community, right? The owner is a loving couple, they are from Sichuan, they came here to work a few years ago, and the husband is on the construction site There was an accident while working here, and the boss at the construction site didn’t lose much money. He had no choice but to call him a wage earner. He had no money, no status, and was honest, so he was sent away for a little money. After he recovered, his legs and feet did not It’s convenient, I can’t do physical work at all, the consumption level here is high, it’s really hard to survive on my wife’s salary alone, and they have to rent a house, so they opened such a hot pot restaurant by patchwork, The husband cooks the dishes inside, and the wife solicits business outside. The hot pot here tastes authentic, and they treat people warmly. In order to make the guests feel comfortable and safe, they will develop new flavor dishes according to different people's tastes, and They pay special attention to catering hygiene and have won many repeat customers. They have survived the difficult times, and now this store is considered a little famous, but their service attitude has not changed from the beginning to the end, and they are always so enthusiastic. I like it Here, there is a human touch, you can chat with everyone when you have nothing to do, and eating here is fun and lively, isn't it much better than those big hotels?"

Li Kai nodded, took a piece of beef and chewed it slowly in his mouth. The beef was tender and smooth, very tasty, and it was indeed authentic Sichuan taste.

Looking at the child on the opposite side, holding a bowl and eating well, with a satisfied smile on his face, he was a little envious. The other party was always so happy, living a simple life with no desires or desires.How many people long for this kind of life but can't get it?In this chaotic society, how many people can truly have no desires and no desires?

At this time, he thought of his ex-boyfriend again. He felt that he should not recall the sad past on such an occasion, but he couldn't help but compare the two, and the more they compared, the better Mu Yang was, because he and Mu Yang were the same People of the same kind, they all like a plain and simple life, but the ex-boyfriend is a person who is unwilling to be ordinary. He needs to have a new passion every day and live a different life every day. He can bring all the material enjoyments to the other party. But eating, drinking and having fun outside every day made him a little overwhelmed. What he needed was stability, and if the two had a dispute, they would not give in to each other. They were both very strong people.But Mu Yang is different, he is simple and straightforward, he can't hide things in his heart, there was a small quarrel, and he forgot it after a while, and he still laughed at you, as if he didn't take the previous matter to heart.

After regaining his composure, Li Kai helped Mu Yang pick up a fish ball, he knew that children like to eat this food the most.

"By the way, when I went downstairs in the morning, I went home to have a look. The house has been decorated, and I can move back in two days. I won't be able to eat your dishes in the future." After returning home, Mu Yang didn't feel happy, living with Li Kai these days, he became dependent on him unknowingly.

This is not a good phenomenon, Mu Yang reminded himself that others have no obligation to take care of him, and he also has his own life, and will get married and have children in the future.

Thinking of this, Mu Yang sighed, there is no permanent banquet in the world, no matter how close the relationship between friends is, it can't compare with his future wife, maybe there will be no chance to sit here and eat hot pot with him in the future.

"Oh, what are you thinking, eat it quickly." Li Kai threw another fish ball into his bowl, and said suddenly: "Actually, you don't have to move it if you don't want to."

"Ah?!" Mu Yang felt strange, and said to himself, did I act very reluctant just now?Did he see all this?

"How can I do that, I'm so sorry to bother you all the time!"

"No trouble." Li Kai's tone was very flat.

Mu Yang looked at the man's face, still expressionless, unable to see any emotion, he was not sure whether the other party was speaking politely or sincerely, "Let's talk, I will stay at your house for a few more days."

After the two finished eating the hot pot, Li Kai rushed to pay the money, Mu Yang smiled foolishly and didn't argue with him.

When they were about to go out, the man who had been busy in the kitchen came out, his feet were a little limp, and he walked tremblingly. The proprietress hurried up to meet him, helped him to the front desk and sat down, and wiped the water for him. Remove the sweat from the forehead.

The two leaned close together, the proprietress bowed her head and said something in the man's ear, and the man smiled happily.

Li Kai also laughed, so suddenly that Mu Yang looked at him strangely and asked him what he was laughing at.He didn't answer, took the child's hand and walked out of the hot pot restaurant.

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Li Kai had to go back to work in the company, so he asked Mu Yang to play in the company and go home together later.Mu Yang thought to himself that he was still playing computer games in the company, and he would still play computer games when he went back, so he went to the company.

When he arrived at the company, Mu Yang didn't want to play computer anymore, so he said hello to Li Kai, and then wandered around in the company. He walked around the whole building. Finally, he locked his target on the 11th floor and sat in the cubicle with the group. The white-collar sisters went to play together.

Such a cute boy came to the company, but the group of white-collar sisters were very happy. When they heard that he was brought by Mr. Li, everyone became more interested and asked about their relationship.

In front of a group of women, Mu Yang appeared to be very well-behaved, answering every question. Except for the game, he said everything that should be said and should not be said, even the matter of Li Kai hugging him to bed.

The sisters were silent for a long time, and couldn't help howling a few wolves, which made Mu Yang baffled. He asked them what they were calling, but they didn't answer. wretched.

Mu Yang wiped off his cold sweat, and suddenly felt that these women were terrifying!

After Li Kai finished his work, he searched for a long time before finding Mu Yang. Seeing him having so much fun with a group of women, he felt unhappy and walked over with a sullen face.

One of the elder sisters was the first to discover Li Kai, and she froze all over, screaming in fright: "Ah! Mr. Li——"

When the other people heard the shout, they all stood up, looked at Li Kai, and shouted respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Li!"

Mu Yang despises in his heart: Look, this unpopular person, how scared everyone is by him...

Li Kai looked at the group of women and opened his mouth to speak. Mu Yang thought of the security guard and the secretary, and hurriedly said, "Don't fire people randomly, do you still want to start this company?"

The white-collar sisters opened their mouths in surprise, no one dared to talk to Mr. Li with such an attitude!

They looked at Mu Yang sympathetically, for fear that Boss Li would blame him.

Li Kai was really angry, he picked up the child with one hand, and strode towards the door.

Back home, Li Kai was still sulking, hiding in the kitchen alone, with a livid face, burying his head in cooking without saying a word.But Mu Yang was sitting under the air conditioner, watching TV and eating fruit, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Li Kai stood at the door of the kitchen and took a peek, almost fainting: Is this kid really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?I'm angry and he can't see it?It's heartless!

Afterwards, Li Kai ignored Mu Yang all the time.When the child talked to him, he pretended he didn’t hear him, and went about his own business. The child knew that he was angry, and followed him with a playful smile. He followed him wherever he went. He talked to himself, and he listened to stories. When he went online, the child sat beside him with a plate of grapes, eating and watching him play.

Li Kai pretended to be concentrating on playing the game, but in fact, the anger in his heart had already dissipated, and he was thinking about whether he should talk to the other party, when a person who suddenly appeared on the game attracted their attention.

[Snake Demon] Kai, it's me.

Kay? !Do you need to be so affectionate? ?

Mu Yang curled his lips. He was sure that the person who spoke was not the snake demon himself, so this person should be Li Kai's ex-wife.

Mu Yang carefully observed Li Kai's expression, wondering if he is happy or sad now?

Li Kai pursed his lips with a calm expression, as if he was not surprised at all.

[Snake Demon] You speak, I know you are here.

Mu Yang dropped a grape in his mouth, and said to himself, if you have something to say, just say it, why bother to be so wordy.

[Snake Demon] Why did you kill him?It's not because of me, is it?The grievances between us have nothing to do with him. After such a long time, I thought you should let go. Don't you want to give up?

[LK] It has nothing to do with you, I don't need to do these things for you.

[Snake Demon] Don't quibble, do you think I will believe your words? Since you are not reconciled, why didn't you keep me back then?Why did you let me leave so easily?Now it's so difficult for me.

What's the problem?Don't you want to turn back?

Mu Yang felt that this elder sister was too confident. Others said that she didn't kill the snake demon for her, so she just didn't believe it, and kept distorting the facts. Alas, a woman's heart is really hard to fathom!

Mu Yang looked at Li Kai, feeling a little anxious, wondering how he would reply to her words.

Li Kai looked at the computer screen quietly, without moving, as if lost in thought.

After a long time, when the plate of grapes was almost finished, Mu Yang saw Li Kai typing on the keyboard slowly.

【LK】There is nothing to embarrass, let's have a good time with him.
