After flirting with a rival

I practiced intermittently for two weeks.

Shen Xingchi was finally able to "become a teacher".

The steak was biteable and the pasta sauce tasted right, even being able to make a little flower out of the leftovers.The change is so great that it is completely unexpected that he only made scrambled eggs mixed with eggshells and charred egg toast at first.

Shen Xingchi held his breath and waited for Cheng Hai's tasting results. The little follower shook his head in a mysterious way, which made the young master want to beat him up, so he said leisurely, "It's delicious."

"Really?" Shen Xingchi smiled, so excited that he wanted to rush out and run around City A twice.

"Congratulations, Brother Shen."

Cheng Hai heaved a sigh of relief while congratulating. Fortunately, it was over. If there is any further delay, Mr. Gu might eat him alive.

Recalling the man's cold eyes and their awkward scene when they met outside, the little follower hurriedly said: "Brother Shen, when do you plan to prepare?"

Shen Xingchi pondered: "This Friday..."

He and Gu Jun haven't gotten tired of it for a long time, so they took this opportunity to heat up the atmosphere, and then had a good time in the apartment.Anyway, after the weekend, there is a lot of time that can be wasted wantonly.

Thinking of this, there was a tremor in his abdomen, as if the little ghost in his arms was expressing dissatisfaction.Even though Shen Xing realized that this was impossible, he still stretched out his hand to comfort him gently, stopped the dirty stuff in his head, and solemnly vowed in his heart that he would never do that.

Cheng Hai: "Then let me ask the company for a day off to help you?"

Shen Xingchi: "Is this not very good?"

Cheng Hai waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't usually ask for leave, so I don't think it will be difficult to ask for leave. Besides, I have been involved in this matter for so long, and I always feel uncomfortable not seeing it successfully completed."

Shen Xingchi thought about it, but couldn't stand Cheng Hai's pleading, so he agreed.

In a blink of an eye, Friday is here.

During this period, Gu Jun was still kept in the dark, but he still had a good temper and didn't say much.

In the morning, when Gu Jun went to work in the company, Shen Xingchi got up from the bed and called Cheng Hai.The two drove to the supermarket to buy fresh steaks, pasta, vegetables, fruits and other materials, and also bought decorations that might be used, such as flowers, candles and lanterns.The experienced Shen Xingchi specially picked two bottles of expensive red wine, one for Gu Jun to drink at night, and one for Cheng Hai who has been busy with him for so long as a thank you gift.

After a careful selection, it was already noon when I came out.

They simply settled the problem of lunch in the restaurant, and then went straight to Shen Xingchi's apartment.

Shen Xingchi took the key and turned the door open, and after making sure that Gu Jun didn't come back halfway, he hurriedly invited Cheng Hai in.

This was Cheng Hai's second visit to Shen Xingchi's apartment after work, and You Qi knew that it was their cohabitation, so he couldn't help but look left and right with curiosity, trying to find out the difference.

Shen Xingchi changed his slippers first, and asked Cheng Haidao: "The pair of blue slippers closest to you belong to Gu Jun. Don't move, or he will be angry if he finds out. There are rows of brown slippers on the first floor of the shoe rack. You can choose any pair of them." Wear it, no one has worn it yet."

Cheng Hai looked over and saw that there were indeed a whole row of slippers of the same style and color on the shoe rack, which should be specially reserved for visiting guests.He casually took a pair and changed them, thinking that Shen Xingchi wouldn't mind such a trivial matter, he used to just let them come in with their shoes on, and if they were dirty, just hire a part-time worker.

Then it could only be Gu Jun who did it.Shen Xingchi also specifically mentioned that he would get angry, and Cheng Hai's heart was pounding. He really couldn't imagine the picture of that cold gentleman getting angry because of such a trivial matter.

Walking along the aisle into the living room, the inside really changed a lot.

After a cursory look around, the kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need, and you don't need to rummage around for everything like him.On the living room side, many small things have been added, including wooden bookshelves, green plants and murals that are particularly tasteful at first glance.

The sun is shining outside the window, and the spots are scattered. It seems that the inside is full of humanity and vitality, like a warm little home.It didn't have the slight cold feeling of Xiao Suo when Shen Xingchi lived alone.

"The kitchen." Cheng Haidao, "There are a lot of things."

Shen Xingchi: "Gu Jun bought them all, usually he is in charge of cooking."

Cheng Hai said oh, he didn't expect Gu Jun to be so homely.He ran to the living room to look at the bookshelf full of books, pointed to some of them and said in surprise: "These books! I have been looking for them for a long time! Brother Shen, can you lend me a look?"

Shen Xingchi: "The top is Gu Jun's, and the bottom is mine. The few books you like are all Gu Jun's. If you want to borrow them, I have to ask him first."

At the thought of seeking Gu Jun's advice, Cheng Hai felt a little bored, and said bluntly, "Brother Shen, have you noticed that the last three sentences are not far from Mr. Gu? It's the same with cooking at my side. I always say that Mr. Gu likes this one, and that Mr. Gu likes it." Gu doesn't like it."

"Have you?" Shen Xingchi didn't realize it at all, and he wasn't shy when he was mentioned by his friends. Instead, he showed a teasing smile, "Are you envious? Hurry up and find a girlfriend."

Cheng Haiyi said: "I don't want to fall in love, I want to concentrate on my career now."

Shen Xingchi twitched her lips in disdain: "Then you can start a career, I want to fall in love."

After speaking, he took the ingredients and went to the kitchen.

Cheng Hai stared at his back, thinking, falling in love is a mistake, falling in love is harmful.

Shen Xingchi wanted to cook real food for Gu Jun and not let Cheng Hai touch him, so the little follower was sent to the living room to do decoration work.

Anyway, he was the most pleasing playboy in the past, and he was very handy in setting up an atmosphere around him.

He and Shen Xingchi worked together to lift the kitchen dining table to the French window in the living room. Shen Xingchi went back to the kitchen to be busy, and Cheng Hai took out the newly bought tablecloth to replace it.Put the candlestick in the bag in the center of the table, cut off the excess branches of the roses, put them in the vase next to the candlestick, arrange them one by one, and sprinkle with water.

After finishing, Cheng Hai went on to deal with the lanterns and lanterns.They mended balloons and pumps behind them, and Cheng Hai had nothing to do, sitting behind Shen Xingchi and watching him cook while pumping up balloons of various colors.

After everything was arranged, Shen Xingchi's dishes were almost ready.

The young master made two steaks, a large plate of pasta and a plate of fruit salad.

The two looked at each other's works, and tacitly raised their thumbs of praise.

At five o'clock, Shen Xingchi went to pick up Gu Jun who was about to get off work.Cheng Hai, who had hidden his achievements and fame, was about to get up and leave.

Shen Xingchi sent him to the door of the apartment, and couldn't help but said: "Why don't I take you home first, I always feel that it's not good to let you go alone first."

"Don't you want me to stay and have dinner with you guys, brother Shen?" Cheng Hai joked with a smile, "You've been with me for the past two weeks, Mr. Gu is going crazy with jealousy, you'd better go and coax him He. As for me, Brother Shen, don't worry, I'm not bound by a lover, and I'm about to go out for a while. "

Shen Xingchi muttered: "He wouldn't be like that..."

Cheng Hai made a gesture to leave: "Okay, go pick him up and have a happy weekend."

"You too, remember to go home early." Shen Xingchi said eagerly, "Thank you, Haizi, I really appreciate it."

Cheng Hai laughed, pretending not to care, and turned his head to wave goodbye to Shen Xingchi while walking: "Remember to tell Mr. Gu to lend me those books."

Shen Xingchi nodded.

When he reached the corner of the long corridor and heard the sound of the door closing, Cheng Hai put away his exaggerated smile, and turned his lips slightly.

The warm pictures in the apartment appeared in his mind one after another, and he was really happy for Shen Xingchi from the bottom of his heart.Recalling the depressing and lonely days when I "betrayed" my friends in the past, I felt that the shackles on my back were finally lifted a little, and I felt a lot more relaxed, and I was able to straighten my waist.

With a faint smile, Cheng Hai hummed a little tune and came to the elevator to wait for the elevator to come up.

After seeing Cheng Hai off, Shen Xingchi went back to the bedroom first and changed into a set of clothes.Go downstairs and drive to pick up Gu Jun in a hurry.

Fortunately, the road was smooth and there were no traffic jams.

Shen Xing came to Gu Jun's company late, and saw people coming out of the gate one after another.He stopped at a slightly remote place and called Gu Jun.

Soon, Gu Jun also came out.Wearing a suit and leather shoes, he was exceptionally handsome and instantly stood out from the crowd.Shen Xingchi used the rearview mirror to watch all the way, until he opened the car door, and then put away his greedy eyes.

"Why do you want to pick me up today? Didn't you go out with Cheng Hai?"

Gu Jun casually put the briefcase on the back seat, adjusted the seat, and slightly changed the interior of the car, as if declaring some kind of sovereignty.

"En." Shen Xingchi nodded, "It's over, you can drive to work tomorrow."

Gu Jun was surprised, and repeated Shen Xingchi's words: "It's over?"

Shen Xingchi laughed and said, mysteriously, without pointing it out, and changed the subject: "Let's go home first."

Gu Jun: "Wait a minute, there are too many people."

Looking through the car window, it was the rush hour for get off work, and a continuous stream of people came out of the company gate.Shen Xingchi thought that he was worried about being seen by people in the company, so he made a sound, turned off the fire and sat quietly beside him.

There was a lot of noise outside the car, people's voices and car horns blared, but the inside of the car was abnormally quiet.

Shen Xingchi sensed that something was wrong, the atmosphere between the two was as oppressive as the gloomy sky a few days ago. "Uh..." he said awkwardly, "Have you been tired from work recently?"

Recently, the young master has not spared any extra time to pay attention to Gu Jun.After getting enough sleep in the morning, he gets up and watches cooking videos or related books to catch up on knowledge. When he is tired, he turns to listen to some soft music that is helpful to babies, close his eyes and rest, or simply take a nap.In the evening, I drove to pick up Cheng Hai, who was about to get off work, to practice at his house, and then went home after the end.

A day can be said to be very well organized.

But Gu Jun didn't specifically protest, so he didn't pay attention to it.Now that I think about it, I really haven't talked to Gu Jun in the past two weeks. Learning to cook is more tiring than I imagined. I often go back to the apartment and take a short shower before falling asleep.

"It's still the same as usual."

Gu Jun's tone was calm, but his eyes glanced from the seat to Shen Xingchi's hand on the steering wheel.

He pulled Shen Xingchi's hand over expressionlessly, this time the other party didn't hide, and let the man treat his hand like a doll, pinching it up and down.

Gu Jun: "The band-aid is gone."

Shen Xingchi smiled nonchalantly: "It's been two weeks, this little injury will heal sooner."

"That's right." Gu Jun's tone was quiet, and he kneaded for a while. The discomfort that Shen Xingchi avoided last time was satisfied, and he let go, "I'm a little surprised that you came to pick me up today."

"Will it be?" Shen Xing was worried, "I borrowed your car, of course I will pick you up. If you want, I can pick you up every day in the future. After all, I'm fine at home, and then we can go out and relax. "

At that time, the shameful wish that came from borrowing a car to go out was finally realized in words. Although the man would not let the young master come to pick him up every day, it did not prevent the mood from becoming happy.

"Okay." Gu Jun said, "Then let's go home."

Even though Gu Jun's face didn't change much, Shen Xingchi could still see that he would be happy, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, answered yes, turned the key, and drove away.

There was a long traffic jam on the road. When we arrived at the apartment, the dusk faded and the vast sky was dark.

The two took the elevator up, and when Shen Xingchi saw that Gu Jun was about to get the key, he hurried a few steps in front of him, opened the door first, squeezed in, and only opened a small gap in the doorway: "You wait outside."

Gu Jun wondered: "What?"

"Just wait a moment." After speaking, he ran in, shouting loudly while running, "Don't come in."

Gu Jun stood obediently outside the door, the door blocked the sound, he couldn't hear anything, only the wind blowing back and forth behind him.

Shen Xingchi felt the darkness and nervously prepared. The steak and pasta were prepared in the pot before, and they were still a little hot now.He brought it out and put it on the table, and then went to serve fruit salad and side dishes.In a hurry, he bumped his foot carelessly against the corner of the table, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

It took a moment of hard work to remember that it was actually more helpful to light the candles first.Shen Xingchi frowned, lamenting how stupid he was.A thin layer of sweat quickly broke out on the back, and before he had time to take care of it, he took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it, and lit a candle to illuminate half of the wall.

Adjusting the plate slightly, caged the roses, sprayed some perfume into the air pretentiously, Shen Xing hurried back to Juna, and finally remembered, hurriedly turned back and connected the lights.

"Here we come." He yelled, pulling the door open.

"What are you doing in there?" Gu Jun was suspicious, "Your head is full of sweat."

Shen Xingchi wiped it carelessly with the back of his hand: "It's okay, come in quickly."

The confusion didn't subside, Gu Jun looked back and forth strangely, always feeling that Shen Xingchi had set a hole in front for him to jump into.The apartment was surprisingly dark, with only an extremely weak light carefully probing along the walls, like a shy and jerky child.

Gu Jun: "Aren't you going to turn on the light?"

"Don't..." Shen Xingchi exaggeratedly covered the switch and didn't allow him to touch it. When he came into contact with the line of sight, he guiltyly urged, "Go forward, and you will see the light if you go further forward."

Gu Jun walked forward, walked to the end of the aisle, and then he really saw the light.

A series of colorful lights are hung on the curtain directly opposite, emitting a faint and warm light.He was stunned, and approached in a daze, and saw clearly that the colored lights were still in the shape of a five-pointed star, twinkling and twinkling.

Looking down, the table by the window is full of food, the flickering candles are reflected on the blooming roses, surrounded by balloons and ribbons, the whole scene is indescribably romantic.

candlelight dinner.

Gu Jun was speechless for a moment.The window was not closed, and the breeze passed by, enveloping Gu Jun who was in the living room with an elegant fragrance.The man seemed to be bewitched instantly, his consciousness was confused, his heart was beating wildly, and the floor under his feet became soft.

"This..." The voice became hoarse, and it took a long time to recover the voice that had been thrown away, "Shen Xingchi?"

He frantically called the other person's name to confirm, fearing that this was a lost dream.

Shen Xingchi responded, walked up to Gu Jun, and scratched his face with his fingers embarrassingly: "It's a bit late to come back, maybe it won't taste very good later, don't be disgusted, I didn't have dinner anyway, just let it go... "

"You did all of this?"

Gu Jun was still at the previous stage, listening carefully to the voice he suppressed with effort, he could still feel the trembling in it.

"Yes." Shen Xingchi originally wanted to fool around casually, after all, it was the first time he played with such a romantic thing, it was too shameful.But Gu Jun forcibly brought the topic back, and could only admit, "Didn't you say that you want someone to cook for you after you recover? Since your mother doesn't do it anymore, leave this task to me in the future."

"What do you think, Brother Gu?"

The young master plucked up the courage to look at Gu Jun, his eyes were dazzled by mixed lights and candlelight.

Gu Jun sighed: "Shen Xingchi..."

He understood everything, and suddenly went out frequently with Cheng Hai, the Band-Aids on his fingers and his tired appearance, it was ridiculous that Shen Xingchi worked so hard there, but he was immersed in his own world of extreme speculation and felt sorry for himself.

"You should have told me earlier. Did the finger... hurt somewhere else?"

"It's really nothing." Shen Xingchi smiled and spread his five fingers, shaking them in front of his eyes, "I'll tell you how to treat it as a surprise." He suddenly increased the volume, and even dubbed it himself: "Dangdang! Mr. Gu, Surprise!"

Gu Jun stretched out his arms and hugged him suddenly. The briefcase in his hand fell behind him, and was stepped on by the young master who retreated unexpectedly.

The man buried his head in Shen Xingchi's shoulder, and said in a dull voice, "Thank you." After a pause, he repeated, "Thank you, Shen Xingchi, I am very happy."

A warm current surged in my heart, eliminating all the anxiety.

With difficulty, Shen Xingchi withdrew his hand from his tight embrace, stroked his hair, and said in a brisk tone: "Sorry, I ignored you a few days ago. I feel that everything is worth it if I can be happy with the 'beauty'. But Let's eat it first, it will probably become unpalatable if we consume it any longer."

Gu Jun didn't raise his head immediately, maybe he was trying to clean up his rare overflowing emotions.

Shen Xing did not speak for a long time, trying to comfort him as much as possible.

The hair on the back of the neck is very short and soft, although it looks like lush grass that can sting.

Human beings are truly amazing.

Both fragile and strong.Worry about gains and losses, and easily moved.

The two poles of contradiction maintain a strange balance after pulling each other.

"Okay." Gu Jun raised his head and smiled at him.

The two sat down at the table by the window, looking at each other, and the romantic and emotional atmosphere became more intense.Even Shen Xingchi couldn't take it anymore, coughed, and raised the cup containing the drink: "Brother Gu, let's toast and celebrate the success of this little surprise."

I also hope that you will be healthy in the future and will not get sick again.Shen Xingchi silently added in his heart.

Gu Jun raised his glass, his glass was filled with red wine, while the young master's glass was filled with fruit juice.

"Celebrate this beautiful night." The man said.

Under the lighting of candles, Gu Jun's eyes seemed to be lit with a small flame, which made Shen Xingchi's mind wander and his imagination run wild.

There was a crisp sound when the glasses collided.

Outside the window, stars gradually emerged.Scattered and expanded throughout the night.

Gu Jun saw it, but felt that the brilliance of the sky was nothing compared to the apartment.His gaze stretched from the star-shaped lantern hanging on the window to the face of the young master sitting opposite him.

Always the brightest, his star.

Thinking about it, Gu Jun raised his glass and drank the red wine.

The author has something to say: Although it is late, I still wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
