Yu Liangmu

You Liangmu put both hands on the table, staring at the restaurant door in a daze. Both elbows were hurt by the hard tabletop, so he straightened his body and moved his arms.

That person didn't come today...

Shall I call and ask?

Before he gave Tang Yunqian his current new number, Tang Yunqian asked for it on his own initiative, but he didn't call him after he asked for it. The main conversation between them was Tang Yunqian's unstoppable check-in at the hotel every day.

Now that Tang Yun can't do it anymore, shouldn't it be time to make a phone call?But if the call is over, what should I say... I can't just ask the other party why they don't come to the restaurant for dinner, can they ask if they are tired of eating?

Mr. Tang, who is missed by someone, is not tired of eating. He just went on a business trip abroad and was too busy. This job is quite urgent, and it is related to the company's development market in the next three years.

Despite this, Mr. Tang still tried his best to improve work efficiency, and compressed and compressed the business trip time, which was a pain for Assistant Feng and other staff.

At this time, Tang Yunqian had just got off the plane and was rushing to Youliangmu's store without stopping.He knew the time when You Liangmu closed the store, if he told the driver to drive faster, he might still have time to meet You Liangmu today.

Although his body and mind have been exhausted from sitting on the plane for more than ten hours.

Tired, but still wants to see Ayu.

When Tang Yunqian was on a business trip abroad, when he thought of You Liangmu in China and they were separated by a long distance again, the fear and emptiness of a foreign country would eat him up.

He found it difficult for him to digest, even though he still acted safely, in fact, he knew that he was far less calm than he appeared on the surface.

The separation of the past four years has made him trembling when he was lucky enough to meet You Liangmu again, and his endurance is almost as fragile as paper, unless he sees You Liangmu in front of his eyes.

On the last day of the business trip, he couldn't bear it any longer. He couldn't wait any longer. After signing the contract, he simply threw Assistant Feng and the team there and asked them to finish the finishing work.

On the other hand, he caught up with the flight tonight, and was forced to sit in the economy class. His long legs were too crowded to stretch, and the crying of the child next to him gave him a headache.

A little dazed, You Liangmu shook his head, and boredly took out the restaurant's account book, and calculated the income and expenditure of this month to see if he should increase revenue and reduce expenditure or expand the budget.

He is now proficient at calculating costs and gross profit margins. He learned them at night school, and he also learned a lot about business management. , decent.

When it was almost nine o'clock, You Liangmu was about to pack up the kitchen and go home. Unexpectedly, Cheng Kai came back just after work, calling for someone familiarly as soon as he entered the door.

"Boss You!"

"Hey, don't call me that..." You Liangmu was quite embarrassed.

Cheng Kai loves to tease him, "All the customers have left? Boss You's business is booming enough, I thought the store would be open until eleven o'clock."

"You successful man, don't laugh at me."

You Liangmu is not flattering. Cheng Kai is currently working in a top-level investment bank. In the past few years, he has been ups and downs. With his outstanding ability, he has climbed to a very good position. He is a professional elite man.

Before Cheng Kai came, he called You Liangmu and said that he would drop by to pick him up. You Liangmu thought Cheng Kai was joking, but unexpectedly he came.

Cheng Kai also found a chair and sat down, sticking his elbows, as if obediently waiting for him to close.

You Liangmu covered his forehead in distress, "I've said it all, I just go back by myself, I really don't need you to carry it."

Cheng Kai laughed and said, "I'm here to beg for a bite of leftovers. Do you still have food in your store? Let me order one? I haven't had dinner yet."

"Uh, do you want to eat noodles? I'll give you another one, and there's still half a pot of soup left. It's the staff meal in our store today."

"Okay, you can eat anything."

You Liangmu went to the kitchen to get some noodles casually, and added some spicy peppers, just like the regular noodles in the store.He brought it out to Cheng Kai, and Cheng Kai chatted with him casually while eating, all about trivial matters.

Cheng Kai was very happy, but You Liangmu was a little bored, and picked up the toothpick holder on the table to play.

The man was thinking again, did Tang Yungan become a thief these days?Why can't I even see a person?

When Tang Yunqian went to You Liangmu's shop in a hurry, the door of the shop was half closed, and the lights inside were also half off, not very bright.

Before he could breathe smoothly, he was about to walk in when he found that You Liangmu was chatting with a male guest.

"Ayou." Tang Yungan called out.

You Liangmu turned around in response, and the man beside him also turned around, Tang Yunqian finally saw who it was.

——It’s Cheng Kai.

You Liangmu tilted his head to look, and when he saw Tang Yunqian, he stood up abruptly, his black eyes suddenly enlarged and brightened, "Eh?! Brother Gan?"

Tang Yunqian stood at the door covered in mist, and the impatience he had rushed to just now slowly dissipated.He found that his footsteps seemed too heavy, and he couldn't step into the door for a while.

His eyes flicked back and forth between You Liangmu and Cheng Kai before the man spoke, "I haven't been here for a few days. I came back from a business trip and wanted to come here to see you."

"Oh." You Liangmu bit his lip and nodded, the feeling of unhappiness in his heart these days seemed to be gone.

As for Cheng Kai, when he saw who was coming, his face, which was originally full of smiles, instantly sank, as if he had suffered a sudden blow.

He thought that You Liangmu would not have any contact with Tang Yunqian again when he came back this trip. This should be the best time for him to get close to You Liangmu, but Tang Yunqian still came to You Liangmu's side.

He could have endured the wait, even if he didn't get a response for a while, it didn't matter if he wanted to hide himself, and he could get along with You Liangmu as a friend, so that he could chat every day and see each other more often, but...

Tang Yunqian's appearance set off alarm bells in his heart.

Tang Yunqian walked into the store anyway, walked towards them, and saw the steaming red oil soup noodles on the table, "Are you eating?"

"Cheng Kai eats." You Liangmu was not very delicate in this regard, so he told him truthfully without thinking too much, "Cheng Kai didn't eat dinner, but he came to my shop for a meal, so I gave him a bowl of noodles. "

Tang Yunqian was taken aback for a moment.

Cheng Kai made a mouthful on the sidelines, pretending to be relaxed and smiled, "Boss You Da treats guests, how dare I choose."

The tone sounds very familiar, not polite, without a sense of careful distance.

Tang Yunqian was taken aback again.

He thinks that he is the only one in Youliangmu's world who makes money. This kind of thinking seems to be too egotistical, too singular, and taken for granted.

He also thought that You Liangmu still treated him as well as before, this kind of thinking was too one-sided, and he was still stuck in the cognition of four years ago.In fact, he should have known that You Liangmu has always been a good person and treats everyone well, including him or Cheng Kai.

Therefore, he may not be the special one, and the so-called "preferential treatment" Youliangmu gave him is not because of the past, nor because he still has that special feeling for him...

It's just because Yu Liangmu treats everyone like this.

"Brother, have you eaten yet?"

You Liangmu just asked casually, but unexpectedly Tang Yunqian shook his head and said, "I just came back from a business trip."

"Then why don't I give it to you too—" You Liangmu was dumb for half a second, and suddenly said "Oops" in panic, "My soup...look at my memory!"

He remembered that the hot soup had not been turned off, so he rushed to the kitchen in a hurry.

For a while, only Tang Yunqian and Cheng Kai were left here. The two men faced each other quietly, each looked at each other with complicated intentions, and they were silent.

Some things don’t need to be said too plainly. Mature people don’t open their mouths to settle disputes by attacking each other. You and I know very well that even if we talk about it, it’s just that one question, sharp and sharp, and they will never be able to Peace.

Cheng Kai picked up the chopsticks, stirred the noodle soup in the bowl lightly, and suddenly said darkly: "I'll take You Liangmu back later, you can go."

Tang Yunqian didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, "Do you still like him?"

"Aren't you too?"

"Yes."

"But don't forget," Cheng Kai glared at Tang Yungan viciously, "Why did You Liangmu leave in the first place, and who forced him to leave. How did you treat him then? You should know better than me, right?"

Cheng Kai was angry and jealous at the same time, because he knew that as long as this man returned to You Liangmu, he would lose You Liangmu completely sooner or later.

He thought he could at least have some hope, as long as Tang Yunqian got out of the way.The inferiority and domineeringness in his roots cannot tolerate this person coming to take You Liangmu again.

Tang Yunqian didn't look at Cheng Kai, and turned a deaf ear to it. He just looked at the bowl of noodle soup floating in red oil on the table, and remembered the scallop noodle soup that You Liangmu made for him in the past. Umami.

Cheng Kai really hated his pretending affectionate eyes, and gritted his teeth and added a few words, "So I don't understand why you still have the face to come to him. Are you going to force him away again?"

Tang Yunqian looked at him indifferently, "We're just in the same boat."

Of course, if he had to decide who was superior, he also admitted that he was indeed worse than Cheng Kai, at least Cheng Kai would not be like him, to torture You Liangmu over and over again in order to keep You Liangmu by his side .

"Have you been in contact with each other in recent years?" The man suddenly asked Cheng Kai this question.

Cheng Kai seemed to have thought for a few seconds, restrained his anger, put on a confident look, and said half-truthfully, "I have been in touch with you for a long time, and it has never been broken, including his return. The first one to know was that he took the initiative to tell me."

Tang Yunqian remained silent, and the hand hanging by his side seemed to be motionless. When he looked closely, the tip of his index finger was shaking slightly.

"Maybe he trusts me," Cheng Kai tried his best to make his words sound credible, "I will not disappoint his trust."

He omitted the fact that You Liangmu actually asked him for financial management, but it didn't matter, financial trust is also trust, and the connection derived from it is also a connection.

Lies need to be groomed.

"I will not do anything that makes him miserable, nor will I force him to go to a foreign country until four years later, and he is still alone." Cheng Kai said, "Tang Yunqian, he and I said he didn't want to go back to the way he was before, you understand?"

Tang Yunqian's face gradually turned pale.

This is not enough, Cheng Kai gritted his teeth, and wanted to fabricate more lies to make the other party uncomfortable, and continued: "I don't know if You Liangmu told you, I am the one who picks him up these days, and it will be tonight. I made an appointment with him, and I will drive him back later. So, you should have nothing to do here, Mr. Tang."

He doesn't hesitate to lie, and he doesn't hesitate to provoke bad habits.

Tang Yunqian was stunned for a while, looking at You Liangmu, who was vaguely busy in the kitchen. The man seemed to know nothing about what happened outside, and he was busy making noodles, his face was soft and soft by the steaming heat .

He really... likes this ordinary You Liangmu who lives peacefully in a small world.

However, through Cheng Kai's words, which are both true and false, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be reverting to his old ways, making his own way to show his presence in front of You Liangmu, approaching You Liangmu in a gradual way, always talking to himself , doing things for oneself, and even had the tendency to persecute the other party at the beginning.

Without considering You Liangmu's idea first, whether You Liangmu is willing or not.

This is wrong.This mistake has already been made.

Maybe, Ayou would want other options.

After watching for a while, Tang Yunqian seemed to have made some decision, and then slowly said: "In this case, please send him home safely."

"You don't need to say I will." Cheng Kai only used a short sentence to cover up his growing guilty conscience.

Tang Yunqian turned and left without a sound. After walking a few steps, his feet stopped suddenly, and his voice was extremely low and hoarse because of fatigue.

"Cheng Kai, I don't think what you said is very credible. Maybe it's true or maybe it's not. But you reminded me that my selfishness is still at work."

"..."

"Ayu is living a relaxed life now, and his mentality is very peaceful, which is exactly what I have hoped for in the past four years. If I try to invade again, no matter whether it is in a moderate or aggressive way, I will still not consider it from his perspective."

The man tilted his head slightly, his profile was blurred by the faint light from the outer street, and his outline was obscure.

"I'm still putting pressure on him, I'm still relying on my own character, and I haven't really let him be free at all."

"..."

"I won't force him when he comes back this time. I respect him for whatever choice he wants to make. I should give him [-]% the initiative."

As long as it is the choice made by Ayou himself, as long as it is the result that Ayou wants, he can accept it completely, and he should accept it unconditionally.

Even if the choice wasn't him, he wasn't included in the result.
