Chi Ji was almost kidnapped by Lu Changming and stuffed into the car. Without giving any chance to refuse, he stepped on the accelerator and drove to the well-known national chain hot pot restaurant: Helilao.

It's not time for meal yet, and there are not too many people in the hot pot restaurants who line up for half an hour on weekdays.

But not less.

After Chi Ji stepped into the hot pot restaurant and stood in the crowded lobby, he still instinctively resisted such a dining occasion.

It's strange, a big star who can be called a household name, wouldn't it cause any riots to eat at this kind of place?

Why didn't Lu Changming find some clean places to eat, such as a restaurant with a quiet environment and few people.

Instead, he deliberately went to this kind of hot pot restaurant where even private rooms are rare, most of the time you can only dine in, the distance between each table is no more than two meters, and the per capita consumption is no more than [-] yuan?

Chi Ji is used to a quieter dining environment, and doesn't like to have meaningless exchanges with people.

He has always stayed away from this kind of hot pot restaurant where the waiters are overly enthusiastic from the moment they enter the door.

Although I haven't seen Lu Changming for many years, he has always been active in the public's field of vision. Even in the United States, you can often see news about him.

This kind of popularity really made Chi Ji panic from the bottom of his heart.

It's not that he hasn't seen the crazy scene of fans picking up the plane at the airport. Just thinking about Lu Changming being recognized, a group of people swarmed up and bluffed for autographs. On the Internet, Chi Ji's scalp tingled.

But watching Lu Changming walking in front and nodding to the gentle and hospitable waitress, after the other party asked politely about the number of diners, he blurted out "Hello, two" and then walked into the shop swaggeringly, Chi Ji couldn't help but give him Face, even if I feel like a duck being caught up, I still bite the bullet and follow up.

Thankfully, Lu Changming chose the corner position against the wall, and sat down with his back to other tables.

Chi Ji observed the good hygienic environment in the store, and sat down on the sofa opposite Lu Changming with his hands tied. Before he could ask Lu Changming why he had to come here for dinner, an iPad was stuffed into his hand.

The waitress wearing a mask bowed slightly beside Chi Ji, and said in a tone as enthusiastic as New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.

"Hello sir, welcome to come. To order food here, you can order the bottom of the pot first and then order the dishes. We will arrange the back kitchen to serve you as soon as possible!"

"thanks……"

Chi Ji held the iPad without embarrassment, and looked at the hot pot bottom ingredients in different colors and types, which were completely in the blind spot of his knowledge, and felt his head buzzing.

If the waiter next to him wasn't so close, he would probably take out his mobile phone and go to Baidu [How to pretend to eat hot pot for the first time].

"Can you eat spicy food?" Lu Changming looked at Chi Ji with a smile while resting his head on his hands, as if he noticed that he was a little confused, and said in time, "The butter pot here is good. If you can eat spicy food, you can try it. We can Order a mandarin duck pot with tomato soup base on the other side, a classic match."

After the voice fell behind, Chi Ji nodded without hesitation as if he was being amnesty: "Yeah."

The waiter smiled all over his face: "Yes, sir, you can add these two pot bottoms and submit."

Chi Ji's Adam's apple rolled, and he lowered his head to observe the information on the iPad, and soon found that all of them were single pot bottoms, and there was no combination of mandarin duck pots.

Excluding that this is a bug in the ordering software, after seeing the "+" signs behind the two pots of butter and tomato, Chi Ji tried to click them respectively, and then noticed a "2" appeared in the lower right corner similar to a shopping cart. "After that, I clicked to submit two large characters.

A successful submission window popped up on the interface, and then a dazzling array of meals automatically popped up. Meat, fungi, and vegetables were classified separately. There was a "+" behind each category, and there were no other tricks.

Very good, that's all.

That's right.

Chi Ji breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, as if he had successfully won the exam.

It's just ordering a dish, where does this frightening sense of crisis come from?

Lu Changming on the opposite side had a panoramic view of Chi Ji's series of small movements and the last small sigh, and his eyes were full of smiles. He knew that Chi Ji would be restrained, so he turned his head and said politely to the waiter: "The rest We can just order it ourselves, and go take care of the guests at other tables.”

"Okay, Mr. Lu can call me anytime if you need anything."

When the waiter walked away, Lu Changming took off his coat, rolled it up and threw it aside, walking freely as if he had returned to his own home, picked up the kettle by the table, poured a hot cup and pushed it in front of Chi Ji.

"Just order what you want to eat, I'll treat you. The dishes here are not big, and my appetite is okay, so don't worry about not being able to finish it."

Looking at the wide variety of dishes, Chi Ji for some reason missed the simple and crude set meals of fast food restaurants in the United States.

He looked at it for a long time and didn't know what to order, so he simply gave up, picked up the iPad and handed it to Lu Changming, who seemed to come often in front of him.

"You order, I have no taboos, and I don't have anything I particularly like to eat."

"Well, okay."

Lu Changming didn't make unnecessary excuses and was very polite. He took the iPad readily, and said while pointing.

"This hot pot is good, there are a lot of delicious food, but if we order it all at once, the two of us probably won't be able to finish it. Let's order a part first, and bring the rest to you next time."

Hearing that there will be a next time, Chi Ji has the heart to buy a plane ticket overnight and run back to the United States.

It can be seen that Lu Changming does come here frequently, and it took less than a minute to order so many fancy dishes.

After submitting the order, he put the iPad on the side of the table, looked up at Chi Ji, tapped the table with his index finger and said slowly: "Tell me, why did you leave without saying goodbye back then."

Because he was directly pulled away from the meeting by Lu Changming, Chi Ji was still wearing a rather formal four-piece haute couture suit.

When he realized that his attire was a bit eye-catching in the hot pot restaurant, Chi Ji worried that Lu Changming would be discovered because of this, so he took off his coat and left only a shirt, and replied vaguely: "The decision came suddenly, I didn't have time to tell anyone."

Hearing these words, Lu Changming heaved a long sigh, his expression seemed a little helpless, although he said complaining words, there was no resentment in his tone at all, instead there was a hint of connivance.

"Okay...but it's hard for me. I was always worried that I would scare you away, so I deliberately avoided seeing me. At the beginning, I complained every day and felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't even eat."

Hearing this, Chi Ji lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes blocked his sight, and fell into silence.

When he was in middle school, he was forced to become a school grass because of voting, and he was considered a man of the hour in school.But because I don't like to be in contact with people, even if there are many people approaching, I still always go alone.

In that not-so-good memory, only Lu Changming understood the thickest and warmest stroke.

After so many years, Chi Ji still remembers many details related to Lu Changming, even the ins and outs of the encounter.

There is no other reason, just because Lu Changming is too special.

He has the ability to impress.

Even though he was not as famous as he is now, and he could not afford to wear high-end luxury brands or drive a Maybach, he was still bright and bright, like the sun in the sky, shining brightly.

Those classmates must still remember him back then, and they must have felt lucky to have attended the same school as such a person.

On the contrary, in other people's memories, I may only have the key word "the Chi family's exquisite fake young master who occupies the magpie's nest".

Or maybe there's nothing left at all.

The last time I met Lu Changming six years ago was after the farewell party in the graduation season. Lu Changming, who was originally a year behind him but jumped a grade to catch up, asked him which school he was going to apply for.

In the end, somehow, the enthusiastic inquiry turned into a confession that was abrupt and absurd to him at the time.

In June of that year, the oleanders on the campus competed to open up, and two teenagers were among them, one was frank and enthusiastic, the other was at a loss, and his heartbeat was so violent that it agitated with the eardrum.

That kiss fell just a little bit away.

All these years in the United States, Chi Ji couldn't help but think about it whenever he was alone in the dead of night.

If he hadn't avoided that kiss that day.

If Master Chi hadn't made a fuss when he got home that day, and hadn't crushed his psychological defense.

So will the ending be different from now?

Chi Ji didn't know if Lu Changming came to him specifically to ask for an explanation, whether it was or not, he owed the other party an explanation.

He didn't speak for a long time, and after a long while, he moved his lips and squeezed out three words dryly.

"sorry."

"I'm sorry for what, I'm not blaming you." Lu Changming smiled casually as if he didn't care, and played with the glass in his hand unhurriedly, "It's your choice whether to leave or stay, there is no need Who reported it. My troubles are nothing more than mediocrity, my dear, I respect your choice."

These words were quite touching, and they dispelled the old depression in Chi Ji's heart a lot.

But after the title "little heart" came out, things started to go wrong.

Chi Ji's gaze wandered around to make sure no one heard him, he retracted his gaze and bit his lip, subconsciously frowned slightly, and said in a low voice with red ears, "Don't call me that..."

Lu Changming tapped the glass on the table, curled the corners of his lips, and smiled frankly, "Is it okay to yell in private?"

Chi Ji's head was full of black lines: "You called me that at the meeting not long ago."

Lu Changming is innocent: "I just met again, I'm excited."

Chi Ji: "At the graduation ceremony, I kindly played the piano to accompany you, and you called me that in front of the whole school."

Lu Changming: "I'm excited."

Chi Ji: "..."
