A noble and glamorous later period

After Ming Zhu got off work, he went directly to the place designated by Shen Xiu.

The joy of housewarming mentioned last time, Shen Xiu has already put it into action, and there is no need to cook with candles.

The location of the restaurant Shen Xiu was looking for was a bit off, so Mingzhu took the bus to the city center and took a taxi there.It is a small three-story building with red tiles, surrounded by several houses, and green hills can be seen in the distance.Fields and grape sheds are planted around the small building. Looking from a distance with bright candles, the grapes are already ripe.The signboard at the door says "Pastoral Scenery". Not to mention, the house built here is quite artistic.

Although Ming Zhu lived in City A, it was his first time visiting this place.

When Ming Zhu walked into the door, Shen Xiu's phone call rushed over to ask if he had arrived.Shen Xiu told Mingzhu that he was in the second room on the left on the second floor, and Mingzhu hung up his phone and went directly upstairs.

The layout of the lobby on the first floor is similar to that of an ordinary restaurant, with tables set up one by one.Although this place is remote, there are already many guests downstairs.Mingzhu walked up the somewhat narrow wooden stairs, and it looked a little dark with a dim yellow light on.

The second floor is divided into rooms. I don't know if it's because of the good sound insulation or because there are not many people upstairs. The corridor is quite quiet, and the scent of wooden objects can be smelled by bright candles.

He walked to the room Shen Xiu said, glanced out the window, and had to say that the scenery was very nice.On a whim, he took a photo and posted it on Weibo.

He and Shen Xiu were the only ones eating, yet Shen Xiu even opened a special room, which was simply too wasteful.

Arriving at the room where Shen Xiu was, Ming Zhu knocked on the door, opened the door and entered without waiting for a response.

Shen Xiu looked up and saw Ming Zhu, and waved to him.

The decoration inside is very ethnic style. There are a row of long soft sofa seats in the west and north directions respectively, and the patterns on them are red, blue and green stripes.There are two bookshelves on the east side, on which there are books, dolls and some decorations.

Shen Xiu was sitting in the corner, the seat was very big, and he was playing with his mobile phone with his legs crossed.

Mingzhu found the switch at the door, and the incandescent lamp lit up, extinguishing the original hazy yellow light and shadow.Shen Xiu immediately yelled, "Turn off the lights quickly, don't spoil the atmosphere!"

"It's so dark, how can we eat?" Mingzhu complained, the top of the rectangular dining table was facing a semi-circular glazed lamp, but the light from it was similar to that of the staircase lamp, it was all dim yellow.Indeed, the design to match the layout of the room is quite interesting, but he is here for dinner, not for a date.

This place is quite romantic, it's really good for couples to come here to eat, chat and chat.Ming Zhu walked around a sofa and sat down beside Shen Xiu.

"Have you ordered yet?"

Shen Xiu pointed to the black tablet computer on the table. "There's a menu inside, take a look first."

Mingzhu glanced at Shen Xiu who was playing a small game on his mobile phone, opened the tablet and swipe the pictures inside, there is a box in the lower right corner that can be checked.

Mingzhu is not picky about food, so he chose a few dishes that he often eats, so he quickly ordered them.

Shen Xiu finally turned his attention to Mingzhu, and put his phone aside. "Do you want a wifi password? It's written here." Shen Xiu drew a card from the bookshelf and gave it to Mingzhu.

"You think I'm you, and you play with your phone even when you're eating, so ask the waiter to serve you."

"Wait for two more people."

Mingzhu turned to look at him, feeling strange. "Any other friends? Do I know them?"

Shen Xiu didn't tell him on the phone that someone else would come, so Mingzhu was a little surprised.

"It's the handsome guy who helped me catch the thief last time! Speaking of which, it was a coincidence. I ran into him again later. You didn't know that he was also there..."

Knowing that Shen Xiu was going to chatter again, Mingzhu hurriedly stopped him. "Then there is another one?"

"There is also his younger brother, who is quite cute."

Ming Zhu asked lightly: "Then are you interested in your elder brother, or your younger brother, or the two brothers?"

Shen Xiu waved his hand. "I'm only interested in my brother!"

"He Chen, I think there must be something going on this time. Is it possible that he is so handsome that he doesn't have a girlfriend like you? He must be crooked!" Shen Xiu was eager to try, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Mingzhu reminded, "Maybe he wants to get busy with his career first."

"No, no, he is wearing a famous brand, so he must be a successful person."

"It's just you, it's difficult to chase him." Mingzhu smiled gracefully, "Maybe he likes the obedient and easy-going type, you are too bluffing."

Shen Xiu patted the bright candle, and made a fierce look, of course, this would not scare the bright candle.At this moment, Shen Xiu's cell phone rang, and when talking to the person on the cell phone, he immediately put on a pleasant expression and a gentle tone.

"Are you here? I'm already here. You go to the second floor and the second room on the left is right there."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xiu became active, and nervously told Ming Zhu not to find fault and talk nonsense.In fact, Mingzhu thinks that Shen Xiuzhen is interesting to him, so wouldn't it be better to ask him out alone.

There was a knock on the door, and it was inconvenient for Shen Xiu to go out because the bright candles blocked the way while sitting inside.He immediately sat up straight and yelled. "come in!"

The door creaked and was gradually opened, and the light from outside also took the opportunity to sneak in.Ming Zhu passed Chen Pu, and met the eyes of Chen Mei who was standing behind him.

Chen didn't see the gleam in Ming Zhu's eyes, and immediately glanced away.

Taking advantage of the gap when the door was closed, Mingzhu asked softly. "The handsome guy you're talking about is Chen Pu?"

"Yes. Huh? Do you know each other?"

Chen Pu and Chen Mei sat on another sofa, and Chen Pu sat on the side near Mingzhu.

"So you know He Chen?" Shen Xiu asked Chen Pu, and asked Ming Zhu to switch places with him because he felt uncomfortable talking from too far away.

"It is indeed a coincidence that we have cooperated at work."

"That's just right, I don't need to introduce, come, order, we've already ordered." Shen Xiu graciously gave the tablet to Chen Pu, and Chen Pu put the tablet between him and Chen Mei, and whispered to Chen Mei After saying a few words, they watched together.

Mingzhu looked at Chen Mei who was sliding his finger on the screen with his head down, but he thanked Shen Xiu for meeting Chen Pu by accident.Does this also mean that their communication will become more and more frequent in the future?

Mingzhu forgot to look away, and the text message from the phone made Chen Mei suddenly raise his head. When he saw Mingzhu, his expression froze, and then he lowered his head again.

Mingzhu turned on the phone, and seeing that the text message was sent by Shen Xiu, he looked at Shen Xiu wonderingly.Shen Xiu quietly tapped Chen Mei with his hand, and then looked at Mingzhu's cell phone with his eyes.

Mingzhu muted the phone first.

Shen Xiu: Why are you staring at your brother all the time?idiot￣＾￣

Mingzhu took a look at Shen Xiu, and Shen Xiu returned him a cheap smile.

Bright Candle: each other each other

Shen Xiu choked on Mingzhu, holding his mobile phone for a long time without moving, probably thinking about how to fight back Mingzhu.But taking advantage of this gap, Chen Pu and the others had already ordered a meal.

Shen Xiu chose to order food, and this option has been marked in red.With the response, the option to order changed to please be patient, probably because the chef had already received their order.

"Brother Chen, this meal is not only to thank you for helping to catch the thief last time, but also to congratulate us on becoming neighbors. We must visit more often in the future."

Shen Xiu kept pestering Chen Pu to talk, completely ignoring him as a friend.

Mingzhu silently glanced at Chen Mei again, smiled slightly when Chen Mei looked at him, and made a gesture.

——Is my friend annoying?

Chen did not shake his head.

——very lively

This time it was Ming Zhu's turn to shake his head, expressing his disapproval of Chen Mei's words, and only after getting along with Shen Xiu for a long time can he know his true nature, now these are just false appearances.

- They talk about theirs, let's talk about ours

——What are you talking about?

——The food here is quite expensive

The corners of Chen Mei's mouth raised slightly.

--I feel so too

——But, anyway, that guy treats guests, so eat whatever you want

The waiter came in with the food, but Chen didn't put his hand down immediately.The two who were chatting happily also stopped.

In fact, Chen Pu and Shen Xiu's personalities are very similar, and they are very familiar with each other. This is also the reason why they have become familiar with each other not long after they knew each other.Although Mingzhu is good at communication, he is introverted and needs to get acquainted with each other through many exchanges.

Chen Mei did not make any movement while eating the dishes, Shen Xiu occasionally talked to Chen Pu and Ming Zhu, and he did not forget to tell Chen Mei to eat more, so that the meal was enjoyable.

On the way, Chen didn't go out to the bathroom, but he didn't come back after a long time.Mingzhu also found the same reason to go out, mainly because the atmosphere of the sentimental room was pitch-black for a long time, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Mingzhu wanted to come out to breathe.

Ming Zhu walked to the bathroom, but before he arrived, he heard the sound of coughing non-stop.

Chen Mei stood in front of the sink, the faucet was turned on, he bent down and lowered his head, and the bright candle could not see his appearance clearly.Just listening to the sound of coughing is painful.

Mingzhu approached him and asked in a low voice. "What's wrong, uncomfortable?"

Chen Mei raised his head suddenly, perhaps his eyes were red from a severe cough.Chen Mei turned off the faucet, wiped his mouth with his hands, and Ming Zhu immediately took out a tissue and handed it over.

--fine.

Then he coughed softly again, suppressing his voice.

"Then go in."

Mingzhu took a few steps, but Chen didn't follow.He covered his mouth with his hand again, trying not to cough out.

--and many more.

Mingzhu somewhat understood why Chen Mei was reluctant to go back, and told Chen Mei to wait here before leaving.When I came back, I had a glass of water in my hand, which was still steaming.

"It's lukewarm water."

Chen didn't take the glass, glanced at him, and then drank the water in small sips.

Ming Zhu raised his hand, and gently touched Chen Mei's temple hair, it was very soft.Chen didn't look up at him, Mingzhu smiled and said, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"

Chen didn't shake his head, the water in the cup had been drunk, he held the cup with both hands, but still stood there without moving.

Seeing Chen Mei's thoughts, Ming Zhu suggested, "Let's go outside for a walk? The scenery here is still pretty good."

Mingzhu walked in front, but Chen did not keep up with him.

The days are long and the nights are short, the sky has not yet completely darkened, and the sun is still dyeing half of the sky red.Mingzhu and Chen Mei walked side by side, getting farther and farther away from the rural scenery.Surrounded by greenery, it looks refreshing.Away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, there is a rare tranquility here.Eating a good meal, taking a walk, and digesting food is indeed a very pleasant thing.

There are crops planted in the field, and when they see someone they don't know, they will discuss what is planted in the field.

The two squatted on the side of the road, and the evening breeze was blowing gently, which was very cool.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell them, lest I think we are constipated together." Mingzhu took out his mobile phone and sent Chen Pu a text message.

——I took Xiaomei out to enjoy the scenery

After sending the text message, Mingzhu turned his head to look at Chen Mei.His eyes stared straight ahead, and he didn't know where the focus fell.Maybe because of Ming Zhu's joke just now, the smile still remained at the corner of his mouth.The wind messed up his fine hair, looming his sharp outline.

Xu Shi had a bad cough just now, his lips were slightly white, with a weak and skinny feeling.

Ming Zhu turned his body slightly to help him shake off the dust that fell behind him. Chen didn't notice it, and leaned his head on his knees and poked the dirt around his feet with his fingers.

A lock of hair fell down and covered Chen Mei's eyelids, Ming Zhu stretched out his hand to pin the lock of hair behind his ear.

Seeing the surprised look in Chen's eyes, he explained, "It will be uncomfortable if the hair covers the eyes."

After helping Chen Mo's hair, Ming Zhu said, "Go back."

The two stayed outside for a long time, and if they didn't go back, the two of them would have an opinion.

Chen Mei nodded and got up, and the two returned to the same way.

Ming Zhu looked sideways at the quiet young man beside him, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and then withdrew his focused gaze.
