Early this morning, Jiang Yifan and Ji Xiuyu got up early, and after eating the breakfast made by Ji Xiuyu, they went out together to the branch that was going to open today.

When I came to the store, almost all the employees were there.Five or six chefs in the kitchen are busy preparing the sample dishes and desserts that will be needed for the opening; the waiters and foremen in the hall are not idle, the environment is hygienic, the tables are placed and the dishes are arranged, etc. , everyone did it in an orderly manner.

Jiang Yifan was sitting in a corner of the hall, not far away, Ji Xiuyu was talking to the foreman and the co-workers of this branch for some reason.

Boss Huang, the partner of this store, is a man in his late fifties with a very kind face. From his clothes, it can be seen that his family is in a good position now. He is a bit fat and has a slightly general belly.The foreman standing next to him was a man about the same age as Ji Xiuyu, tall and thin, with handsome features, and his smile made people feel like a spring breeze.

Jiang Yifan's eyes swept over Ji Xiuyu and him again, looking at Ji Xiuyu who was talking eloquently, he couldn't help smiling.Ji Xiuyu today is rare to wear a complete suit, black, tailored to fit the body, which better sets off his figure.He felt that his master was really handsome today, but he was wearing casual clothes today, so he wondered if it would embarrass him.

While he was thinking about it, he also silently looked around at this store which was much smaller than the one on the other side of the commercial street. The decoration style of the store was obviously different from that one, this one was more warm and simple.Today, because of the tasting event, some of the tables in the hall were put together and made into a buffet.

Although it is a chain store, apart from the store name, this branch has too many differences from the original one.Jiang Yifan didn't understand these things, he only knew that Ji Xiuyu put his heart into every store, he was serious about his work and never perfunctory.

Just when he was alone in a daze, Ji Xiuyu brought someone over.The man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he looked about thirty, with a gentle and elegant appearance, a successful man with a bookish temperament.

Jiang Yifan accidentally met his eyes, the two sides smiled at each other, and then waited for Ji Xiuyu to introduce them.

Ji Xiuyu first introduced Jiang Yifan to the man, he smiled and said, "This is my friend, Jiang Yifan." Then he looked at the man and said to Jiang Yifan, "Xiaofan, this is my partner, he is Ye Shuyun, the owner of the shop over there in University City."

"What kind of boss, I'm just an investor, and I need more snacks from Boss Ji to buy the store." Ye Shuyun joked with a smile, and then took the initiative to reach out to Jiang Yifan, smiling, "Hello, I'm Ye Shuyun."

Jiang Yifan stretched out his right hand, shook him politely, and said the same thing, "Hello, I'm Jiang Yifan."

Next, the two sat down.Ji Xiuyu naturally sat next to Jiang Yifan, and Ye Shuyun sat opposite them.The foreman brought them two cups of warm water.

Half an hour before leaving the industry, the three of them sat there and chatted. In fact, it was basically Ji Xiuyu and Ye Shuyun who were chatting, and Jiang Yifan was in charge of listening. He would only say a few words when they asked him.

From the conversation between the two, Jiang Yifan probably knew that Ye Shuyun was the small boss of a medium-sized catering company. They cooperated with Ji Xiuyu this time, and they also intended to make "Cherry" a chain brand with him.However, Jiang Yifan could see that Ji Xiuyu was not very interested in this proposal.

Although from the conversation between Ji Xiuyu and Jiang Kaitian last time, Jiang Yifan knew that besides being good at cooking, he actually dabbled in a lot.Even Jiang Kaitian said that he is very business-minded, and if he is willing to do it, he will definitely achieve great success.For this reason, Jiang Kaitian intends to ask Ji Xiuyu to work in his company.Although the position and salary he offered were very high, it was a pity that Ji Xiuyu declined in the end.

Jiang Yifan asked him the reason. He remembered that Ji Xiuyu was playing mobile games on his lap and said, "I am born to enjoy happiness. I don't have any big ideals. Now I, my parents are still alive, and my elder brother and sister-in-law are married. Happiness, as for me, it can be regarded as a small achievement in my career. I don’t worry about money, house, or car. What’s more, I have a lover who will be with me even if I have nothing. Don’t you think my Is life already perfect? ​​If I continue to be successful, I will be easily targeted by others, and I am not interested in intrigue or the like."

Jiang Yifan was speechless and unable to complain about Ji Xiuyu's "pretending" remarks.Afterwards, when he remembered what Ji Xiuyu said, he realized that his focus seemed to be wrong. When did he say "even if Ji Xiuyu has nothing, he will be with him"? !

Just when Jiang Yifan fell into memory, a group of people came in from the gate, and one of them yelled exaggeratedly as soon as he entered.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Yifan knew that it was Xie Yuan and the others who came.Sure enough, the three of them looked towards the door.Xie Yuan and his wife walked in front, while Yang Qi and Jian Xin walked behind.Jian Xin's belly was already showing, Yang Qi helped her walk carefully, his face was full of tenderness, and Jian Xin's face was full of happiness.

Before he knew that Yang Qi was Ji Xiuyu's first love, Jiang Yifan only thought that he and Jian Xin could be said to be a perfect couple.But after knowing Ji Xiuyu's feelings for Yang Qi, Jiang Yifan now only feels awkward.

As long as he thought of what kind of mood Ji Xiuyu used to look at them showing affection, and even smiled and pretended to be buddies and joked with them, he would feel sad for a while.

In addition, there is another reason that Jiang Yifan found himself slightly jealous of Yang Qi, because he had made Ji Xiuyu pay so much affection.He liked Lin Zezhao for four or five years, and Ji Xiuyu liked Yang Qi for more than four or five years.

Thinking about those photos, Ji Xiuyu had been interested in Yang Qi at least since he was in junior high school, so if you do the math, it has been more than ten years.How many more than ten years can I love someone all the time in my life?Although Jiang Yifan felt that these comparisons seemed childish and ridiculous, he was really jealous.

When everyone got together, Ji Xiuyu inevitably introduced them to each other.After chatting for a few words, the manager came over and said that the opening time had come, so everyone went to the gate together to prepare for the opening of the new store.

Although the storefront is not big, but in this street that has never changed much, the opening activities of the new store more or less added to the lively atmosphere here.Coupled with the promotional food tasting event that started a few days ago, there are many more people in the small street today than usual.

Beautiful and colorful flower baskets have already been placed at the entrance of the new store, and these flower baskets were all sent by Jiang Kaitian.Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Ji Xiuyu and Boss Chen gave some brief introductions and blessings about the restaurant. After the red firecrackers were lit to signify auspicious opening, the food tasting activity officially started. People who had been waiting at the entrance flocked And enter.

Ji Xiuyu and Boss Chen were busy greeting some acquaintances, Xie Yuan and his wife ate here and there, and Yang Qi sat in the corner with Jian Xin after serving some snacks.

Jiang Yifan himself was not familiar with Yang Qi, and because he knew about that incident, he didn't know how to get along with him, so he found a seat far away from them and sat down, then looked at the lively hall , his eyes involuntarily followed Ji Xiuyu's figure.Looking at the expressions of those tasters, Jiang Yifan thought that this opening ceremony should be considered a success, and he was really happy for Ji Xiuyu.

Suddenly, a white porcelain plate with small patterns on the sides appeared in front of Jiang Yifan. On it were small pastries of four colors that were slightly transparent and arranged in flower shapes, and there was a small silver fork beside it.

He looked up, Ye Shuyun was looking at him with a smile, "Why are you in a daze? This tastes good, do you want to eat it?"

It's hard for Jiang Yifan to refuse other people's kindness, and Ye Shuyun is really a person who makes people feel embarrassed to refuse.So, he took the plate and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." With that said, Ye Shuyun naturally sat in the vacant seat opposite Jiang Yifan.

Jiang Yifan picked up a small pink pastry and took a bite.The mouth is soft and elastic but not sticky to the teeth. He thought it should be strawberry flavored, but it tasted like roses instead.The sweetness will not be as sweet as fruit, only a touch of sweetness. For people like Jiang Yifan who don't like sweets so much, this kind of sweetness is really just right.

Because the taste suits his taste, and because he thinks of Ji Xiuyu, Jiang Yifan doesn't know how happy and sweet his expression is at this time, and Ye Shuyun, who is opposite him, squints his eyes slightly.

When Jiang Yifan ate the third piece of green matcha flavor, Ye Shuyun suddenly asked, "I don't know if you have a girlfriend yet?"

Hearing this question suddenly, Jiang Yifan almost choked to death without the pastry in his mouth. He swallowed the pastry in a hurry, twitched the corner of his mouth, looked down at the plate in front of him with dodgy eyes, "cough cough, not yet, hehe... ..."

"Really?" Ye Shuyun replied inexplicably, looking at Jiang Yifan's reaction, he didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes were a little sad.Then, he saw that the corner of Jiang Yifan's mouth was stained with bean paste from the pastry, so he naturally took the paper towel on the table and reached out to wipe it off.

Jiang Yifan, who had his head down, was taken aback by Ye Shuyun's sudden movement, and the silver fork scratched harshly on the smooth plate.Fortunately, the environment was too lively, and only the two of them could hear the discordant voice.

Ye Shuyun was taken aback by Jiang Yifan's reaction, and then realized that his behavior was too natural and intimate for the two people he just met.

This time, Ye Shuyun was also a little embarrassed, "Well, I'm sorry, I have no other meaning, I..."

Seeing the other party's eager explanation, Jiang Yifan, who had calmed down, smiled generously, "Don't be nervous, I didn't mean to blame you, I was just taken aback by you."

"Thank you..." Ye Shuyun smiled unnaturally. After thinking about it, he still said what he hadn't finished just now. "I accidentally confused you with a friend of mine just now. I'm really sorry."

Jiang Yifan shook his head gently with a smile, "It's okay... am I similar to that friend of yours?" After hesitating for a while, he still asked.

Ye Shuyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "No, you don't look alike at all, it should be because you feel alike just now."

Jiang Yifan nodded, did not speak again, and then ate the last piece of pastry silently.

Because of sexual orientation, Jiang Yifan is very sensitive to the same-sex body. Just now Ye Shuyun regarded him as someone's intimate gesture. He thought that even brothers who grew up together would rarely be able to make such a gesture.Therefore, consciously tell him that the relationship between Ye Shuyun and his "friend" must not be simple.But then he thought, the other party didn't say whether the friend was a man or a woman, maybe it was a female friend?

In short, Jiang Yifan lowered his head and thought about it, but Ye Shuyun didn't make a sound, just looked elsewhere in a daze.The atmosphere at the dinner table was silent and weird, and it also made Jiang Yifan feel depressed.Just when he was thinking about finding a reason to leave, Ye Shuyun proposed to leave.

The two said goodbye to each other, watching Ye Shuyun leave, Jiang Yifan was silently relieved.Then, after a while, a voice suddenly appeared beside him, "Excuse me, sir, do you need a meal?"

Hearing the words, Jiang Yifan raised his head, looked at Ji Xiuyu who was smiling at him, holding a tray in his hand, was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed too, "Master, what are you doing?"

"Of course it's a love meal for you." Ji Xiuyu solemnly said sweet words that only the two of them could hear.He put the set meal and soup in front of Jiang Yifan, sat in the seat that Ye Shuyun used to take and asked with a smile, "It's almost noon, should you be hungry?"

"It's okay," Jiang Yifan looked up and smiled at Ji Xiuyu, pointed to the empty plate on the table and said, "I had some snacks just now." He looked down at the steaming lemon pork chop set meal and Luo Song in front of him Soup, can't help but ask, "Is this reheated?"

Ji Xiuyu dragged his chin and laughed, "How is it possible, the taste won't taste good after heating. I just went to the kitchen to make this for you, don't be too moved!"

"..." Jiang Yifan glanced at Ji Xiuyu speechlessly, even if he was a little moved at first, he is now as he wished, not at all moved!

Next, Jiang Yifan ignored Ji Xiuyu and ate lunch happily, while Ji Xiuyu was watching him eat intently.

Because Ji Xiuyu's eyes were too focused and hot, Jiang Yifan couldn't help but look up at him, but when he saw Ji Xiuyu's affectionate eyes and the corner of his smiling mouth, his heartbeat suddenly became irregular, and his face was slightly stained red.

At this time, Jiang Yifan realized that he didn't even ask Ji Xiuyu if he had eaten.

"Well, have you eaten?"

"Not yet." Ji Xiuyu squinted and smiled, "I'm waiting for you to feed me."

"..." Jiang Yifan was angry and ashamed, he gritted his teeth in a low voice, "I said you, in public, can't you restrain your rascal nature?"

Hearing this, Ji Xiuyu showed a regretful expression, "Since you're shy, forget it, anyway, I think you'll be full after eating."

"..." Jiang Yifan became angry for a while, it was really hopeless!

Looking at Jiang Yifan's angry expression, Ji Xiuyu raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, it's so fun!

While they were eating and watching one by one, Xie Yuan, who had no eyes, ran over to join in the fun, abruptly breaking the atmosphere that Ji Xiuyu thought was beautiful.

Ji Xiuyu looked at Xie Yuan sitting next to him with a displeased face, ground his teeth and said, "Why are you here?"

Xie Yuan ignored Ji Xiuyu, and looked at Jiang Yifan on the opposite side with a smile, "Oh, are you having lunch? Someone made it for you, right?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yifan's face, which had finally cooled down, showed an upward trend.Before he said anything, Ji Xiuyu on the other end bumped Xie Yuan with his arm, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? Do you have an opinion? Then I will lend you the kitchen, and ask your younger siblings to bring you a copy."

Hearing what Ji Xiuyu said, Xie Yuan's whole face wrinkled, he put his hand on Ji Xiuyu's shoulder, and said bitterly, "What are you doing, you don't know that she is the heir of the dark cuisine, be careful Wreck your kitchen!"

After finishing speaking, he looked up and saw Jiang Yifan's surprised expression, thinking he was frightened, he comforted him, "Oh, don't be afraid, it's actually not that bad, just get used to it, really..."

Jiang Yifan thought for a while, looking at Xie Yuan's expression, he thought the truth should not be as easy as he said, but looking at the person standing behind Xie Yuan, he still silently lit a candle for Xie Yuan.

When Xie Yuan was about to say something, Ji Xiuyu who was beside him suddenly waved his hand behind him, and said with a smile, "Hi brother and sister!"

Xie Yuan turned his head in shock, and saw his wife looking at him with a half-smile.So his scalp was numb for a while, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

She stepped forward and pulled Xie Yuan up with a smile, then Ji Xiuyu and Jiang Yifan smiled and said "Let's go back first", then pulled Xie Yuan away.

Ji Xiuyu and Jiang Yifan looked at Xie Yuan being dragged out of the door with a sad face, Jiang Yifan asked slightly worried, "Is there any problem?"

Ji Xiuyu smiled, "There won't be any fatalities, but their kitchen is probably going to be redecorated."

"..." Jiang Yifan nodded, he was a little glad that he was not a kitchen killer.

The opening ceremony can be said to be very successful, and it didn't end until three or four in the afternoon.

The restaurant will officially open at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and everyone in the store is full of interest.After Ji Xiuyu and Boss Chen emphasized some precautions to the employees, they also gave everyone the meaning of opening red envelopes, leaving the employees to deal with the follow-up, and they left first.

Both Ye Shuyun and Boss Chen had something to do, so they politely declined Ji Xiuyu's offer of a treat. In the end, only Ji Xiuyu, Jiang Yifan, Yang Qi and Jian Xin had a meal together.

During this meal, because of Jianxin's active atmosphere, it didn't matter if Yang Qi and Jiang Yifan talked less.However, after this meal, Jiang Yifan more or less found that Yang Qi didn't seem to like him.Reminiscent of his attitude towards him before, Jiang Yifan's mood is also a little complicated, because he thinks that Yang Qi doesn't like him because of Ji Xiuyu's relationship.

Although he didn't care at all whether Yang Qi liked him or not, but the reason was Ji Xiuyu, which made him feel a little stuck.From a personal standpoint, Yang Qi is a friend, while he, Jiang Yifan, is a lover.But Yang Qi didn't know about their relationship, so in his eyes, he and Ji Xiuyu were childhood sweethearts who grew up, while Jiang Yifan was a friend who had just met.

Jiang Yifan could see that Yang Qi was a straightforward straight man, he would not have that kind of affection for Ji Xiuyu, so his dislike for himself and his desire to possess Ji Xiuyu were only because of his friends. "Jealous" is not only applicable to love, but also to friendship and family affection.
