The charcoal fire is strong, and the scarlet is dazzling.

The rich smell of meat tantalizes people's appetite, and the air is filled with the unique coolness of summer, and when the wind blows, there is a faint smell of decaying earth.

Standing in front of the grill to keep warm and warm.

Qiao Yan didn't make any mistakes anymore, and acquiesced to Zhou Xiyun to sit next to him, and waited for the skewers to be cooked before sitting in front of the shelf to rest, and brought two cans of normal temperature soda, and put one can on the left hand side.

Zhou Xiyun picked up the can of soda and pulled the aluminum ring away with one hand.

Qiao Yan grabbed a handful of vegetables and put them on the shelf, and said lightly while drinking, "It's not for you."

Zhou Xiyun ignored it and added a bunch of broccoli.The eldest lady opened her mouth first, and asked softly: "What have you been up to these days?"

Qiao Yan brushed the broccoli with oil, and his thick and curled eyelashes trembled. "not busy."

Zhou Xiyun continued: "Auntie said you have a lot of work and you can't take time off." Qiao Yan asked back: "My mother is looking for you?" "No, it's just that I met you two days ago."

"Oh." Qiao Yan didn't explain, "It's okay, it's nothing." Zhou Xiyun: "Yes."

Qiao Yan said again: "Except for that Chen Ke of your company who placed a big order, everything else will be settled. I have taken too many vacations before, and I have to make up for them recently. It is Rong Yin's turn to rest."

The current situation is not a secret, and it doesn't hurt to talk about it.

"Where's Aunt Zhou, are you still going to the company every day?" It stands to reason that you should ask Zhou Xiyun himself, but Qiao Yan never mentioned it, preferring to ask about the irrelevant Zhou Huiwen.

Zhou Xiyun replied: "I was at home yesterday and today, I didn't go out."

It was too close to the grill, and the temperature burned the palm of the hand, a little hot.Qiao Yan withdrew his arms, his mouth moved, and was about to ask something else, but he swallowed the words again.She raised her hand to hook the broken hair that was hanging down because she lowered her head, stared at the red-hot coals for a few seconds, and then replied in a low voice: "That's it."

The blood from the meat skewers dripped, popped, and evaporated.

Zhou Xiyun also moved a stool and sat down, not going anywhere.

Qiao Yan didn't really want to talk to this person, so she turned away slightly, leaving half a silhouette for him. She was not happy in her heart, and she was in a slightly bad mood tonight.

However, Zhou Xiyun was not quiet for too long, and suddenly reached out

come.

Thinking what was going on, Qiao Yan sensed it in an instant, and immediately tightened his hands defensively, and turned his head to look.

But Zhou Xiyun didn't touch her, he just stepped forward and flipped the skewers. "The leaves are almost scorched." Zhou Xiyun said, and accidentally touched Qiao Yan with his elbow.

Qiao Yan lowered his eyes and twisted, "That's non-cai." Another sentence: "Stay away from me."

"The place is so big," Zhou Xiyun said, "This is the only way to stand side by side."

This is a small grill, less than a meter long, which should be suitable for one person to operate, or two people facing each other.

Qiao Yan was domineering, and arrogantly pushed his legs towards Zhou Xiyun's side, intending to occupy the whole place.But the range of motion was not big enough. After all, it was outside, and a small movement would not have much effect. For Zhou Xiyun, he was kicked lightly, but it was not enough to be pushed away.

Zhou Xiyun didn't move like a mountain, and continued to turn over the roasted vegetables, and when they were almost done, he transferred them to the tray and handed them to the acquaintances and friends next to him.

Unconvinced, Qiao Yan glared at Zhou Xiyun. "That's what I want to eat."

Zhou Xiyun held up the meat skewers, "Didn't you eat this?"

Picking up a bunch of grilled mushrooms from the tray, Qiao Yan said angrily, "When did I tell you to eat these?"

I haven't, I haven't talked about it.

But someone loves to eat meat since he was a child, so there is no need for a special reminder.

Zhou Xiyun put a few more strings of vegetables on the shelf, "Do you want chili?"

Without saying a word, Qiao Yan picked up the seasoning bottle and shook the vegetables. "I'll do it myself, don't need your kindness."

She was totally ungrateful and refused to accept Zhou Xiyun's approach.

The relationship between the two has always been weird, and now there is no sign of it. Zhou Xiyun's approach is inexplicable, and Qiao Yan's strange temper is not out of his mind.

It's absurd that the two sides have a tacit agreement not to advance one time. One doesn't explain, the other doesn't admit it, and they don't take it seriously.Zhou Xiyun didn't mean to apologize, and Qiao Yan didn't say much, but that didn't mean that the problems between the two of them could be left alone.

The hem of Zhou Xiyun's skirt was blown up, almost reaching the grill.

Qiao Yan quickly grabbed it and helped him back.

Inadvertently, suddenly and accidentally touched Zhou Xiyun's leg, the part above the knee.

Zhou Xiyun lowered his gaze and glanced at it.

The wind is so strong, once you stop your hands, you will definitely be blown up.Qiao Yan awkwardly covered this man, held it for a while, his fingertips twitched uncontrollably, and said in a low voice, "Get out of the way, don't make trouble here."

Zhou Xi said, "I won't hinder you." Qiao Yan said sharply, "Skirt."

Only then did Zhou Xiyun move, but instead of moving away, he tucked the corner of his skirt.

The two touched hands again, Qiao Yan raised his eyelids and stared at Zhou Xiyun.

Zhou Xiyun still looked like that, just doing what he wanted, as if he didn't feel anything, and he wasn't touched too much.

Qiao Yan didn't like being touched, so he patted the other person's arm instead.Then he muttered in dialect: "It's a cold day..."

Zhou Xiyun said: "I'm not at the company during the day, so I participated in an impromptu drinking party."

Qiao Yan remained silent, and remained silent since then.

I was still bored and anxious, and I didn't want to have too much communication with the person next to me.

I still feel unhappy with those who are just now, and I am more concerned.

It's not that he has an opinion or dislike for Xing Yuan, it doesn't really matter, but he just can't tell why he feels aggrieved, so that he is not happy to see Zhou Xiyun.

Qiao Yan didn't hide her bad mood, and she didn't pretend that nothing happened. She poked Zhai Rou with a clamp, and she was too lazy to listen to Zhou Xiyun's redundant explanation, so she just kept her mouth shut.

Heart wrenching, frizzy.

Xing Yuan and the others came here at this time to look for Zhou Xiyun.

With other people around, Qiao Yan couldn't lose face any longer, so he had to restrain himself and settle down.

Xing Yuan told Zhou Xiyun to go to the other side to meet an old acquaintance, a friend who had just returned from outside the city.

"I was looking for you everywhere just now, okay, let's go over and have a chat." Xing Yuan said, "It's been a long time since I saw him, and he's leaving again tomorrow. I don't know when the next meeting will be."

That's the end of the story, it must pass.

Zhou Xiyun handed over all the skewers to Qiao Yan, and followed Xing Yuan and the others to the opposite side to meet that friend.

Qiao Yan did not get involved from the beginning to the end, and watched them walk away.

The barbecue was not turned in time, one side was almost burnt, and the smell was not very good.Qiao Yan didn't move, it took a long time to get started slowly, and silently removed the black skewers.

The party has just begun, and there is still a long time left.

Xing Yuan's friends are all able to make troubles, and once they get into a fight, they can't stop it, and each one is more open-minded than the other.Someone fell into the swimming pool with a few strokes, and the one who fell into the water got up and chased the instigator. After a while, both of them fell in again, and several other young men joined them.

The water in the pool splashed so high that it hit this side and almost landed on Qiao Yan's instep.

Qiao Yan stood still and glanced at the slender figure opposite, not interested in paying attention to those men.

After Zhou Xiyun passed by, he didn't look back, he chatted harmoniously with his friends, and soon got along with those friends with ease.

Standing next to this person is Xing Yuan, the distance is relatively close, and if he takes a step diagonally, he will be shoulder to shoulder.Xing Yuan cheerfully brought a glass of champagne to Zhou Xiyun, and after a while, he moved closer and whispered something in Zhou Xiyun's ear, as if whispering something.

Zhou Xiyun also answered after listening, with a gentle face.

For no reason, Qiao Yan's heart became even more congested, as if stuck on a rock, which made it difficult to breathe freely.

Zhou Xiyun didn't come back, and was still surrounded by a group of friends in the back.

I don't know which topic this group of people are talking about. There are always so many gossips that can't be finished. You and I never stop.After a while of pushing cups and changing cups, the communication gradually opened up.

Qiao Yan only knew a handful of people, and not long after, the two partners also left, and the place became more and more empty, with not many figures left.

Half an hour later, the birthday star cut the cake on the spot.

Xing Yuan was pushed forward by all the stars, and he made a symbolic gesture. Afterwards, the magnificent and luxurious cake was murdered, part of it was shared by everyone, and the rest was fed by mouth.

A friend brought a copy to Qiao Yan, "Try it."

The cake was exquisite, with excellent ingredients and taste, but Qiao Yan had no appetite, and couldn't finish it after holding it for half a day.

The atmosphere of the whole party is just like that, people who can be integrated into the enjoyment of the group, otherwise they will be excluded from the group.

Like Qiao Yan, there were a few others who didn't fit in so well. They were scattered all over the place, and no one bothered anyone. They were either watching or playing with their phones.Qiao Yan was the latter. It took a long time before he joined the poker team and played mahjong all night.

Later, Xing Yuan and the others gathered together to play mahjong, and Zhou Xiyun followed.

This table changed people twice in a row, one time for Xing Yuan, and the last time for Zhou Xiyun.This group of people played cards all the time, as if sitting at another table was a problem.

Zhou Xiyun finally sat on Qiao Yan's right hand, and "reunited" in a very unlucky way.

Qiao Yan shuffled the cards without changing his face, without looking sideways on the bright side, and didn't even look at Zhou Xiyun, but he put his legs aside under the table, and lightly kicked Zhou Xiyun's calf with his toe.

Others are unaware of it, completely invisible.Draw the cards and build them.

Xing Yuan came out first, and after playing a few rounds, he played a card, "Two tubes." Qiao Yan pushed down two cards unceremoniously, "Bang." Zhou Xiyun held a mahjong in his hand, and looked at the cards without hesitation.

After a while, Xing Yuan issued another one, "What chicken." Qiao Yan was still the same, "Touch."

Another friend from the north at the table smiled, "Yuaner, you're a little unlucky, don't lose money if you do another round." Xing Yuan didn't care, "How is it possible, this game will definitely not lose."

Qiao Yan continued to fight without interrupting.

Zhou Xiyun was also unlucky, maybe it was a bad card or something, there was no movement from the beginning to the end, but there was a touch in the middle, but the impact was not big, and he couldn't influence the overall situation.

The cards piled on the table are almost exhausted, and the outcome is still undecided.

Xing Yuan thought for two or three seconds, felt safe, and played another card, "Six."

At this moment, Qiao Yan pushed down all the cards in front of him and said calmly, "Nonsense."

Xing Yuan stretched his neck to look, a little unbelieving.The friend from the north smiled, very happy, and said: "I thought there was no result in this game, so, Yuaner, hurry up and settle the money."

Zhou Xiyun turned over all the cards and did not show them to others.

The friend from the north came over and took a look, but didn't see the problem, and said, "Xiyun's one is not bad, it's rotten."

Xing Yuan transferred money to Qiao Yan on WeChat, and started the next round without paying much attention.

In the next few rounds, the friends from the north won one round, Zhou Xiyun won one round, and Qiao Yan won more.Xing Yuan was unlucky, like he hit a ghost, the cards in his hand were obviously good, and he felt okay when he played, but somehow he kept losing, and the more he played, the worse he played.

The second monk Xing Yuanzhang couldn't figure it out, and he bit a cigarette in his mouth when he was anxious, but couldn't find out what was wrong.

Qiao Yan was the biggest winner. He kept earning money on WeChat. After a few rounds, he earned a restaurant meal, and after a few more rounds, he doubled his meal money.The game is not too big, everyone is playing small games for fun, and will not play too big.

In less than 10 minutes, Xing Yuan lost three more.Extremely fast, unlucky to the extreme.

He couldn't figure it out more and more, so he peeked at the cards played by friends from the north and Zhou Xiyun halfway through the game.north

The friend hurriedly stopped him and said hurriedly: "Hey! What are you doing? You, you don't want to play rogues at the poker table. Sit back. This is a fair and fair match."

Xing Yuan said with a smoke in his mouth: "What do you do so stingy, don't you just take a look, I can't remember all of them."

Friends in the north don't follow him, and they don't give face anyway.

"Go, go, don't look at me, I'm still looking forward to winning this one."

Xing Yuan bent over to see Zhou Xiyun, but Zhou Xiyun was more heartless than his friends in the north, so he immediately suppressed all his cards, not giving him a chance to peep.Xing Yuan said: "I'm not going to steal your cards either. Why are you so tight on guard? What's the relationship between the two of us? What's the matter?"

Zhou Xiyun drew a new card, rubbed his palm twice with his fingertips, put it in a certain place in his mind, and said in a low voice: "Everyone plays their own way, don't look around."

Xing Yuan shouted disdainfully, "You are too disrespectful."

Friends from the north couldn't help laughing, and watched the whole show.

Qiao Yan watched the interaction of these three people with no expression on his face.

It was probably a visual error. From her point of view, when Xing Yuan approached Zhou Xiyun just now, the distance was too close, and his head almost fell on Zhou Xiyun's shoulder.

The interaction between the two parties sounds okay, but the feasible path is actually somewhat ambiguous.

I don't know if Qiao Yan misunderstood or what, in short, the scene seemed to be meaningful and unclear.She looked at them from the corner of her eye, with a calm expression, trying not to care about so many of them, forcing herself to focus on the mahjong in front of her.

Communication at the poker table is fairly relaxed, and there are humorous friends from the north to warm up the scene, so it doesn't seem depressing and dull.

Zhou Xiyun lost this hand, and Qiao Yan won her money.

Zhou Xiyun was about to transfer the money to Qiao Yan, and the phone was generously placed on the table.

Qiao Yan took a casual glance and found that Zhou Xiyun's money was transferred from the bank card, not WeChat change.She paused, carefully recalling how much this person won and lost... It seemed that she had won more times, but the money was put into the account rather than paid out, so she used the bank card when she didn't have enough change.

Qiao Yan slowed down shuffling the cards, quietly watching Zhou Xiyun enter the password.

Zhou Xiyun stopped after entering the five-digit number, stopped in time, and suddenly said calmly: "There is no money in the card, I will give it later." Qiao Yan was stunned, pursing his lips.

The other two at the table didn't react much, they behaved as usual, as if it wasn't surprising that Zhou Xiyun had no money in his card.Xing Yuan yelled: "I owe you first, don't worry, draw the cards and draw the cards, and we'll talk after this game. Don't dawdle, I don't believe I can't win this game."

Zhou Xiyun hummed, and after building the cards on his side, he piled up some cards to Qiao Yan's.

In the latter game, Northern Friends and Xing Yuan lost, while Zhou Xiyun won alone.After receiving their transfer, Zhou Xiyun immediately repaid the debt and transferred it to Qiao Yan.

Qiao Yan didn't collect the money right away, and took it slowly after half a lap.She was unusually quiet, growing silent.

Xing Yuan is restless and can't sit still, he has to find something to do every few minutes, sometimes he checks the messages on his mobile phone, sometimes he stands up and stretches his waist, or he just walks around.He would still steal the cards of the two next to the police, and when he accidentally caught sight of Zhou Xiyun playing cards abnormally, he dismantled it on the spot in shock: "Hey, that's not right, shouldn't your card be confused in the first two rounds? Is it a mistake to fight like this?"

Zhou Xiyun calmly pressed down the cards again, "The cards drawn later are not like this in the first two rounds."

"That's not right," Xing Yuan contended, pointing with his upper finger, "You played three cards just now, and the cards were torn apart. You played like this?"

Zhou Xiyun replied calmly, "You read it wrong."

"Impossible, my eyesight is 5.2, absolutely correct." Xing Yuan said, "If you turn it over again, it must be like that."

How could Zhou Xiyun go along, no matter what, he would not flop.

The friends in the north didn't believe Xing Yuan, they took him as a joke, and stood firm on Zhou Xiyun's side, saying: "Yuan Er, don't be unkind, it's as if you can't afford to lose, everyone just peeped at it, if you I won't admit it if I win."

Xing Yuan choked back: "Who can afford to lose?"

"You, you are the only one on the table." The northern friend said, "Could it be us?"

After a few noisy back and forth, Xing Yuan couldn't argue, and finally sat down honestly.Qiao Yan, who won this round, won by a small margin.

It was a rare transfer of luck, Xing Yuan could be regarded as elated, he was about to light up a cigarette, he was so frightened that he almost wagged his tail.Qiao Yan couldn't help frowning, and began to reject the smell of smoke before smelling it.

Zhou Xiyun took the lighter from Xing Yuan's hand and interrupted Xing Yuan's behavior of swallowing clouds and fog.Xing Yuan was puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Xiyun threw away the lighter, "Smoking less." Xing Yuan said, "You don't..." Zhou Xiyun squinted at him, not used to him.

Xing Yuan took out the deformed cigarette in his mouth, put it back in his pocket resentfully, and reluctantly replied: "Okay, okay, don't smoke if you don't smoke, it's not too late."

Friends from the north said badly: "Smoking is harmful and dies early."

Xing Yuan gave him a white look, "I will definitely live a hundred years, and I can still burn two sticks of incense for you when the grass grows on your grave." "Yo Yao, is it?"

"nonsense!"

Listening to their bickering, and combining the whole process just now, Qiao Yan grasped the mahjong tightly and let go, feeling even more mixed in his heart, and the anger surged up for no reason.

Zhou Xiyun obviously cared about Xing Yuan, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two of them were tricky.

Taking away the lighters and not letting you smoke, giving instructions and making eye contact, no matter how you look at it, it's something only a girlfriend can do...

Qiao Yan continued to draw cards, discarded them, and re-drawn them, becoming a little absent-minded.

In less than half a minute, Xing Yuan won her card again, swiped the ground quickly and pushed it down, and said: "Hey, Miss Qiao, I'm sorry, I'm fooling around again! Let me let you go, thank you very much."
