Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant

After the loud screams, Ming Qian stood at the door of the secret room, holding his hands on his knees and gasping for breath.

They didn't come out by themselves after completing the task, but were chased out by the "resurrected" monsters, although the game is very complete.But at the end of being so frightened, Ming Qian had to be stupid for a few more minutes.

"Drink." You Jun handed over a bottle of mineral water.

Ming Qian drank several sips after taking it, and said in shock: "This must be the last time I play escape room."

Although Youjun thinks that Mingqian's frightened look is cute, but now he has learned to be considerate, this is what he has learned from the Internet recently, lovers should be considerate and respect each other, and not force each other to do things he doesn't want to do , so You Jun nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Let's go, I'm hungry, let's eat something before going home." Ming Qian felt his stomach howling after he was no longer afraid.

The food eaten at night has been consumed in the process of "escape".

They stayed in the secret room for more than an hour. During the process, Ming Qian couldn't feel the passage of time at all, and only after he came out did he realize that so much time had passed.

During this trip to the secret room, Mingqian and the others reaped the excitement and fright, only the peaked cap reaped the lovelorn.

When he came out, Ming Qian saw the girl with short hair arguing with the peaked cap, the girl slapped him and shouted angrily, "Get lost!"

Then she pulled the other girl away without looking back.

Another girl's boyfriend was obviously not familiar with the peaked cap, so he chased his girlfriend away, leaving only the peaked cap standing in the elevator hall with a bewildered expression on his face, obviously not knowing what he did wrong.

It looked a little pitiful.

The stars are twinkling in the night sky, the moon only shows half of the face, the traffic on the road is endless, pedestrians are in twos and threes, the high-rise buildings on the side of the road are flashing with neon lights, couples are holding hands, occasionally leaning together to whisper a few words, and then laugh at the same time .

Walking in the crowd, Ming Qian felt no different from You Jun and these people.

They are the two most ordinary people in the vast crowd.

You Jun stretched out his hand suddenly, Ming Qian took it without any hesitation.

Someone next to them looked back at them, but there was inquiry and curiosity in their eyes, but no disgust or fear.

Ming Qian felt very relaxed. He found that the world is not so hostile. People are more and more focused on themselves, and they don't have so much emotion about other people's affairs.

"Do you think the world is good?" Ming Qian suddenly pulled Youjun's hand.

You Jun lowered his head slightly, he hesitated for a few seconds and said, "It's okay."

If it wasn't for Mingqian in the world, he would never have come down.

He prefers a place where no one is disturbed.

This reminded him of the first time he saw Ming Qian, it was just a quick glimpse in front of the mirror of reincarnation, at that time he never thought that he would go down to earth for this person anyway.

But he will never tell Mingqian about this, lest he be arrogant.

They walked to the food street, and Ming Qian took You Jun to eat barbecue.

This is the first time Youjun has eaten this kind of barbecue, he has only eaten barbecue before.

When Youjun saw Mingqian eating meat wrapped in lettuce, the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated.

Mingqian: "Now Korean and Japanese barbecue are like this."

Youjun asked: "How about Chinese style?"

Ming Qian: "...Barbecue is definitely useless, but so is Chinese barbecue."

You Jun: "Since there is no difference, why should there be Chinese and Korean styles?"

Ming Qian thought for a while: "Maybe it's because of the dipping sauce?"

"That's right." Ming Qian took a mouthful of lettuce wrapped meat and said after swallowing, "I still have to get up early tomorrow morning to go to the market to buy seasonings for making barbecue sauce. When I fall asleep at night, I will just ask the teacher how to make it better."

Now Mingqian is very confident in cooking and innovating. After all, he has Master Chef as his teacher. Although the teacher is demanding and strict, his temper is very gentle, and he also wholeheartedly teaches him.

In the dream, Ming Qian didn't know how to repay him, and he couldn't give him a gift, so during class, Ming Qian was engrossed, and the teacher said one thing, but he couldn't say another.

"Teacher, do you have anything you like that you can buy in the world?" Ming Qian asked You Jun, "Can you help me give it to him after I buy it?"

You Jun frowned slightly, and reluctantly said: "He has nothing to like."

Mingqian: "..."

Now Mingqian just needs to look at Youjun's expression to know what Youjun is thinking.

At this moment, You Jun must be thinking: "Buy him any gift, just give it to me if you want to give it to me", Ming Qian doesn't even need to think about it carefully, it's clear at a glance.

This may be... the result of him being ridiculed by You Jun before.

Ming Qian suddenly remembered that You Jun would not talk to him like that anymore.

I don't know when it started.

It's been so long since you heard Youjun's yin and yang ridicule, Ming Qian still misses it a little bit.

He froze for a moment, and then immediately began to reflect on himself, he is not a masochist, it is not good to miss something, miss You Jun's yin and yang aura.

"Let's eat." You Jun gave Ming Qian a piece of beef.

Ming Qian put down his chopsticks, he looked at Youjun's face, he always knew that Youjun was handsome, but that was only a momentary amazement when we first met, and soon he was overwhelmed by the absurdity of his fiancé suddenly appearing, this was the first time for him Look carefully at You Jun's face.

The long and narrow eyes look arrogant and indifferent, always carrying the temperament of repelling people thousands of miles away.

People who seem to have stepped out of ink and wash paintings have elegance and dignity that do not match the times.

"What are you looking at?" You Jun noticed Ming Qian's gaze, and he raised his eyes slightly to look into Ming Qian's eyes.

Ming Qian smiled at him, shining like a blazing sun: "I was thinking, how come there are so many people in the world, and only I am so lucky to meet you."

You Jun froze, as if someone had tapped his acupuncture points, and he couldn't move his whole body.

Only the ears slowly turned red, so red that it seemed to bleed.

Ming Qian's face also gradually turned red, thinking that You Jun is very cute.

They finished the meal in silence, Ming Qian couldn't taste it.

When checking out, Mingqian even clicked on the wrong software page and opened the chat page to swipe the QR code.

It was only after the cashier reminded him several times that he brought up the payment page.

The food street is very close to home. On the way back, when Mingqian passed the convenience store, he asked Youjun to wait, and walked in by himself.

He stayed in the daily necessities area for a long time like a thief. He had never used these things. He thought about when he would use them before, but at that time he never thought that he would have a fiancé.

And he always thought that even if something happened, it should be after marriage.

He sneakily took the things he wanted to buy, but when he collected the money, the clerk's reaction was very flat, without any superfluous expressions, and he didn't even look up at him.

"Huh..." After walking out of the convenience store, Ming Qian heaved a sigh of relief.

It felt even more tense than before entering the Chamber of Secrets.

"What did you buy?" You Jun suddenly asked.

Ming Qian jumped up in fright.

He forgot that Youjun was waiting for him outside the store, and walked too fast after carrying the bag, causing Youjun to come from behind him.

"It's nothing." Ming Qian couldn't say anything at all, he didn't dare to look Youjun in the eyes, he just dared to look at the tree by the roadside and said, "I bought some snacks, I'm afraid I'll be hungry when I go back at night."

Youjun chuckled lightly, reached out and stroked Mingqian's hair.

Ming Qian's heart was pounding, he was obviously in his 20s, but he felt more excited than a teenage boy.

When they got home, Yao hadn't come back yet, just in case, Ming Qian called Yao first after entering the door.

"You're not coming back tonight?" Ming Qian said calmly, but the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, "What's wrong? Why don't you come back?"

It was very noisy over there, and he said, "Wanwan said that she would play all night, and she bought a lot of wine, so I definitely won't be able to go back."

Ming Qian warned: "Drink less, don't force yourself to drink if you feel uncomfortable."

Yao obediently agreed: "Okay, boss, you go to bed early too."

Hanging up the phone, Ming Qian hid the shopping bags from the convenience store in the closet, and said to You Jun who had already taken off his coat: "I'm going to take a shower first, do you want to wash?"

Youjun has become used to taking a bath recently, he used magic to clean himself before.

Mingqian also tried it, but still felt that washing with water was more comfortable.

After taking a shower, Ming Qian only wore a pair of boxer briefs, and he wiped his wet hair with a towel.

"You go." Ming Qian made it to the side of the bed, lowered his head and continued to wipe his hair.

Youjun stood up, he was only wearing a pair of trousers, and his upper body was shirtless. Under the cold white light, the muscle lines of Youjun's body were particularly obvious.

Tight chest muscles and abdominal muscles, the mermaid line is not in the waistband, he doesn't have to make any movements, just standing there is extra sexy.

Mingqian: "..."

Why didn't he find out before!

Why did I suddenly find out tonight!

Youjun walked into the bathroom.

Ming Qian was outside thinking about what he was going to do later.

But before he could think about it, Ming Qian suddenly realized a problem—they were an unmarried couple.

But this is what You Jun said, and they seem to have never talked about this matter, nor have they really confirmed their relationship.

Youjun...do you know what it means to be in love?

They never seem to discuss this issue.

Ming Qian walked to the wardrobe silently, and locked the bag in the bottom cabinet.

It seems that these things are temporarily useless.

When Youjun came out of the bathroom, he saw Mingqian sitting on the edge of the bed with his head bowed, he rarely saw Mingqian like this.

Usually Ming Qian always behaves bright and generous, as if he has never had any troubles, no matter what troubles he encounters, he can quickly put them aside.

"What's wrong?" Youjun walked up to Mingqian.

One of them is standing and the other is sitting.

Youjun bent down, and put his fingers on Mingqian's chin, so that Mingqian could only look up at himself.

He saw his own face in Ming Qian's eyes.

It feels good.

The whole world is only reflected in Ming Qian's eyes.

It's as if everything else doesn't matter, just disappears.

"What do you think our relationship is now?" Ming Qian looked straight at Youjun without avoiding it.

You Jun almost didn't need to think: "Fianced couples."

Ming Qian continued to ask: "What is an ordinary person before they become a fiancée?"

You Jun began to recall, he thought for a while, doubts revealed in his eyes.

Ming Qian: "It's a lover."

Ming Qian sighed in his heart, You Jun thought the same as him, he didn't understand these things at all.

"People who like each other will become lovers, and only after getting engaged will they become a fiancée." Ming Qian said seriously, "Do you think we..."

Before Ming Qian finished asking, You Jun suddenly asked: "Aren't we lovers?"

Ming Qian shook his head lightly: "We have no lovers at this stage, you suddenly appeared and said that we are an unmarried couple, but this is fate, whether you like someone or not should be your own choice, not destiny."

Youjun suddenly said: "I like you."

Ming Qian was stunned, he looked at You Jun foolishly.

After the words were spoken, You Jun seemed to realize what he said, and he was also stunned.

Then Ming Qian watched You Jun's face slowly turn red.

This time it's not just the ears, but the cheeks.

Ming Qian has seen Youjun's various expressions, arrogant, angry, jealous, and awkward, but this is the first time he has seen Youjun's awkwardness with shyness.

Youjun still looked at Mingqian, he seemed to be forcing himself not to look away.

Ming Qian looked at You Jun's serious expression, and suddenly smiled.

He suddenly felt that he was a fool just now.

Ming Qian said to You Jun, "Come here."

Youjun approached Mingqian.

Ming Qian suddenly reached out and grabbed You Jun's collar.

Ming Qian, who has never been in love before, pulls Youjun towards him like a TV show, and he watches Youjun slowly approaching.

You Jun kneeled on the bed next to Ming Qian with one leg.

Ming Qian looked at You Jun's lips, they were very thin, he didn't know if they were soft or not.

He only thought about this, and when he finally touched Youjun's lips, he felt that Youjun's lips were softer than he imagined.

Youjun obviously couldn't make any response.

The lips of the two were just so close to each other.

It wasn't until Ming Qian kissed affectionately that he parted a little and said, "Open your mouth."

At this time, Youjun could only give one command and one movement, and he parted his lips.

Youjun is a very good student, even though his teacher is also an inexperienced rookie, but he quickly grasped the essence.

Slowly, Mingqian's consciousness began to blur, and only Youjun's lips and tongue remained in his whole world. He felt that he had been invaded, and his body became hot. His arms hugged Youjun's waist tightly, getting more and more use force.

When he opened his eyes during the kiss, he found that Youjun was closing his eyes tightly, and he seemed to be immersed in the kiss, just like himself.

What to do next?

Do you want to take out the things in the closet?

Is he ready?

Ming Qian was excited and nervous.

But before Ming Qian could say anything, You Jun suddenly raised his head.

There is a slight "pop" sound from the parted lips.

"I'm going to the bathroom." You Jun turned and left almost as if fleeing.

Only Ming Qian was left sitting by the bed.

There was the sound of water in the bathroom, Ming Qian lay on his back on the bed, he raised his arms to cover his eyes.

what did he just do...

Ahhhhh!Ming Qian rolled around on the bed in embarrassment.

He is too bold!

Ming Qian wished he could find a crack in the ground and get in.

When You Jun came out of the bathroom again, Ming Qian had already shrunk into the quilt, even covering his head.

You Jun is not embarrassed at all, he just feels comfortable kissing Ming Qian, Ming Qian's lips are soft, and his tongue is also soft.

The initially stiff body became softer and softer.

You Jun lifted a corner of the quilt and lay down too.

Neither of them spoke, just when Ming Qian thought that You Jun had already fallen asleep, and finally relaxed, and was going to sleep first, and then continue to be embarrassed when he woke up tomorrow morning, You Jun suddenly turned over and hugged him from behind.

Ming Qian's body became stiff again.

"Go to sleep." Youjun's hand slightly exerted force, hugging Mingqian tightly.

Ming Qian closed his eyes and felt You Jun's lips gently touching his earlobe.

A night without dreams.

In the early morning of the next day, Ming Qian looked at himself in the mirror expressionlessly——

What was he thinking last night?Why do you suddenly think of going to the convenience store to buy those things?Is he crazy?

Is he insane?

As a result, when he woke up this morning, he didn't even dare to look at Youjun, and rushed directly into the bathroom.

Maybe it was because I saw Youjun blushing at the barbecue shop.

Ming Qian patted his face with cold water, took a deep breath, and told himself it was nothing.

Anyway, Youjun didn't see what he bought, and the cabinet was locked, so just find a chance to dispose of the bag of things.

Just act like nothing happened.

He lowered his head, washed his face with his eyes closed, and just as he was about to stand up, a pair of hands suddenly wrapped his arms around his waist from behind.

Ming Qian was stunned.

But Youjun naturally lowered his head and kissed the back of his neck, then put his lips against his ear, and said in a low and gentle voice, "Morning."

Ming Qian's voice was hoarse: "...Morning."

Ming Qian stood still and neither did You Jun.

It seemed that neither of them knew what to say or what to do next.

In the end, Ming Qian opened his mouth and said, "Let's go out for breakfast this morning."

He felt that as long as he went out, the awkward and ambiguous atmosphere between the two could be relieved.

You Jun: "Okay."

Yao didn't come back in the morning, so he probably followed Yiyi and the others to the store directly.

Mingqian and Youjun walked on the street, they didn't hold hands, instead they seemed to be covering up something, separated by a long distance.

"Eat noodles?" Ming Qian asked softly.

You Jun still said: "Okay."

They walked to the street where the store was located. Although Brother Zhang had left, there were still two noodle shops on this street. They opened at 06:30 every morning. Although it was only [-]:[-], there were already several people sitting inside. commuters nearby.

"Two bowls of beef noodles." Ming Qian said to the boss.

The boss smiled and asked, "They all add fried eggs, right?"

Ming Qian nodded: "Yes."

They sat down at the only empty table, and they didn't speak a word until the noodles were served.

He didn't even speak while eating noodles.

After Ming Qian paid the money, he opened the door of his shop and walked in.

You Jun stood at the door and asked, "Did I do something to make you unhappy?"

Ming Qian suddenly turned his head.

The lights in the store have not been turned on yet, and the dim sunlight in the early morning is behind Youjun, making Ming Qian unable to see Youjun's expression clearly.

He subconsciously retorted: "No, you didn't make me unhappy."

You Jun walked towards the store, approaching Ming Qian step by step, and his tone gradually became tough: "Then why have you been staying away from me?"

Youjun is not as complicated as a human being, he only felt that when he hugged Mingqian in the morning, Mingqian's body was stiffer than last night, and he has not shown any signs of relaxing.

After going out, Ming Qian also deliberately kept a distance from himself.

"Why?" You Jun stopped in front of Ming Qian, he was puzzled and aggrieved, "Didn't you take the initiative last night?"

Ming Qian's face was burning, and he stammered, "I'm not angry, I'm just... a little shy."

Shy is a better word than embarrassing, right?

It won't make Youjun feel uncomfortable.

You Jun knew what it meant to be shy.

He suddenly laughed.

Different from the usual smile, You Jun's smile at this time is like a warm spring breeze, blowing away the cold winter snow and melting the hard ice.

Ming Qian had never seen Youjun's expression like this.

Ming Qian stood where he was, and was embraced by Youjun standing in front of him.

He is shorter than Youjun, and seems to be a little thinner than Youjun. He is hugged by Youjun, and he seems to be perfectly embedded in Youjun's body.

"boss!"

Ming Qian pushed You Jun away subconsciously, and then turned around immediately, he finally calmed down before turning his head.

Yao and Yiyi have already walked into the store.

"We played Werewolf last night!" Yao said excitedly to Ming Qian, "I keep winning! They can't even tell that I'm a wolf!"

Wanwan typed unconvinced: "He looks very stupid, pretending to be a novice to deceive us."

After Wanwan finished typing this paragraph, she typed another sentence: "Boss, why is your face so red?"

Ming Qian hasn't explained yet, Wanwan has already explained for him: "Did you catch a cold? The season is changing, boss, you have to pay attention, the human race is very fragile."

Ming Qian nodded, smiled awkwardly, "I will, thank you."

He looked at the counter, and You Jun had already sat behind the counter, looking at him intently with those narrow eyes.

Ming Qian: "I'll also chop vegetables this morning."

Yao: "Okay, boss, you can cut vegetables, it's easier to cut that."

After the back kitchen finished chopping the vegetables, Ming Qian left the shop with the excuse of going upstairs to check on the progress.

The decoration workers upstairs are working. They are not lazy at all. Just like before, in order to keep up with the progress with quality and quantity, everyone is so absorbed that they don't even chat.

Ming Qian went to buy a bottle of drink for each of them, and asked the supermarket staff to deliver it, because the supermarket is on this street, and as long as the amount exceeds a certain amount, there is no need to pay for short-distance delivery.

"It will probably take more than a month to complete the decoration." The team leader said to Ming Qian while sipping a drink, "Don't worry, this is the third time we have cooperated. money."

Ming Qian smiled: "I know, if it wasn't for the good cooperation before, I wouldn't continue looking for you this time."

The team leader praised: "I didn't expect your restaurant to be so famous now. Many hot pot restaurants in the city heard that we were in charge of the decoration of Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant, and they all came to us to renovate. There is too much business to do it. , didn’t take much rest this year.”

Ming Qian: "Will it be too hard?"

Team leader: "Why does it feel hard to earn money? The more you work, the more you earn, and the workers will have a good New Year this year."

The team leader sighed: "They are all people who have a family and a family. If they earn more money and their families live well, we will feel happy. Otherwise, what is the use of earning more money?"

"Anyway, we are all working hard, and we don't know how to enjoy ourselves."

The team leader asked curiously, "Boss Ming, what about you? Are you married?"

Ming Qian shook his head: "Not yet."

The leader asked again: "Do you have a lover?"

You Jun's face appeared before Ming Qian's eyes, he smiled and said, "Yes."

"What kind of person is he? Surely he's fine?"

Ming Qian pursed his lips, and his voice was very gentle: "He is easily shy, sometimes awkward, but very cute."

At least in his eyes, very cute.
