After Tang Wen left, Chu Youan quickly slipped away from the company according to his original idea.

The piece of Asano East Road is the Cultural and Creative Park, which is exhibited almost every week, but except for the exhibition curator or the author of the work is well-known and well-connected, there are not many people visiting the exhibition.

Meng Xing came here after taking a nap. Just now when he looked at a unit, the side of his face was iced. He subconsciously turned his head and saw a cup of iced coffee and a smiling Chu Youan.

"Why are you here?" Meng Xing suppressed his voice, but he couldn't hide the surprise in his tone.

Chu Youan stuffed the coffee into Meng Xing's hand, "Is it okay to have a latte with half sugar and less ice?"

Meng Xing rolled his eyes, "Thank you."

Chu Youan stood beside him, and slowly answered his previous question, "Didn't you say you would come?"

Meng Xing took a sip of coffee and let out a breath of cool air, "Phew, it's a little cold."

"Then let it sit for a while before drinking." Chu Youan took the cup, and accidentally touched Meng Xing's hand with his fingers, with some drops of water on it.

Meng Xing didn't avoid the touch. He lowered his head and took out a tissue from his bag and handed one to Chu Youan, "I thought you got off work at six o'clock."

"Thank you." Chu Youan took the tissue: "I thought so too."

Meng Xing looked at him suspiciously and opened his mouth slightly.

Chu Youan met his ignorant expression, was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes fell to the glistening red lips.

He just had coffee.

It should be coffee-flavored.

Chu Youan thought.

"What's wrong?" Meng Xing asked.

Chu Youan came back to his senses, the word "it's okay" was already on his lips, looking at his calm eyes, he couldn't help but said, "I just thought something I shouldn't have thought about."

Chu Youan's ending sounded a little upbeat, and his eyes were full of anticipation, but Meng Xing just nodded, "Then don't think about it, let's go to the art exhibition."

After all, Meng Xing patted him on the shoulder twice.

Due to the height difference, Meng Xing's movements looked a bit awkward, as if he was stretching upwards, trying to be high enough.

Chu Youan's half-collapsed smile rose again, "Okay."

Meng Xing walked very slowly, he was looking at the painting with his heart, Chu Youan quietly followed behind him, looking at the person looking at the scenery.Slowly, Chu Youan fell behind for a long distance, and he took out his mobile phone to secretly take two pictures of his back.

When Meng Xing was thirsty and turned back to look for coffee, he realized that Chu Youan was so far away from him. He stopped and waved to Chu Youan.

Chu Youan felt that this scene was like a dream.

He hurried forward to meet him, and Meng Xing whispered, "Is the coffee ready?"

Chu Youan raised the cup, and the straw just touched Meng Xing's mouth.Meng Xing coughed dryly, "I'll do it myself."

"Good." Chu Youan refused to back down.Meng Xing had no choice but to take a sip from his hand, and Chu You'an just watched the little guy's face turn red little by little."Are you still drinking?"

Meng Xing pretended to be calm, "Stop drinking."

"En." Chu Youan put down his hand, "Call me when you want to drink, go to the painting, I'll be right behind you."

Meng Xing turned around and walked forward, but his straight back seemed to run away somehow, Chu Youan smiled triumphantly.

No matter what, let the little guy experience the itching feeling.

The theme of the exhibition is uninhabited area. There is an animal in each painting. don't know whether the scenery in different seasons is the author's imagination or real experience. In short, the loneliness of the wilderness in the painting is moving and yearning.

Coming out of the exhibition hall, Meng Xing and Chu Youan said: "I see both art exhibitions and photography exhibitions, but I prefer to draw some. Photography is often real. Although it can also contain the emotions of the photographer, behind the painting is the painter.whole inner world."

"If you have the opportunity to visit these places, would you like to?"

Meng Xing was stunned, "I don't know, because there is no such opportunity yet, there are too many interference factors, and I don't know how I will choose when the opportunity really comes."

Whether he is rational or timid, Meng Xing's words make Chu Youan feel distressed.Chu Youan didn't intend to forcibly change his ideas and worries, but smiled and said relaxedly: "It's okay, when we get old and retire, we can go out to see the mountains and rivers."

"Retirement?" Meng Xing blinked blankly, as if the word had never appeared in his life, and to him, it seemed so far away.

Chu Youan rubbed his head hard, "According to my current plan, I will be about forty years old, and I will try to retire at forty."

Meng Xing asked in surprise, "Forty? Aren't you thirty now?"

Chu Youan: "...Baby, don't poke my heart."

"Ahem, I didn't mean it." Meng Xing changed the subject, "Today's dinner is according to your preference, let me know what you like. Ah, by the way, I didn't drive today."

Chu Youan immediately received his meaning, "I'll take you home. If that's the case... then do I have a gift of thanks?"

Meng Xing thought about their relationship, and replied seriously after a while: "Yes."

There are many handicraft shops next to the art exhibition, but now that they are almost at the parking lot, Meng Xing has to think carefully about what he can give away.

"Where are we going to eat?"

"Over the seaside, have you been to the store in Yueshi?"

"No."

"Then I'll take you to try it."

I have to say that Chu Youan is very good at taking care of people. This restaurant is similar to a custom-made meal, and can cook any kind of dish.Chu Youan ordered some seafood first, and also asked for a variety of cooking methods, like a big platter, and tasted a little of each.

"You can order what you want. Their portions are not large, so you can choose more dishes."

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows beside them was the seaside night, and their position could overlook thousands of high-rise buildings, and those neon lights dragged him into the hustle and bustle.

Meng Xing looked away with a slight smile, landed on the ipad for ordering, ordered Sichuan cuisine, looked up at Chu Youan and asked, "Can you order more? I want to try something you like."

"Okay." Chu Youan looked at the "Sichuan Cuisine" column he had selected and said, "I've already thought about what to eat next time."

Meng Xing let out an "huh hum", with a strong nasal sound.

Chu Youan: "Hot pot."

"OK."

Make an appointment for the next time, and the expectations for tonight's meal are much higher.

When the exquisite small dishes came to the table, Meng Xing unconsciously exclaimed "Wow".

He couldn't help but took a few photos and sent them to Tang Wen, and said that he would bring Tang Wen to eat when he got the money after this project was over.

Tang Wen was probably busy, so Meng Xing put down his phone and concentrated on eating without replying immediately.

Perhaps because of the thought of the project, and the fact that he talked to Chu Youan in the morning, Meng Xing took the initiative to chat about his work.

It’s not considered a formal job, just helping some companies write project plans or tender documents, most of them are a one-off sale, and the preliminary plan is completed, and the detailed company will add and modify it by itself, and some are a little more troublesome, to follow the entire project.

The latter type is considered to be recognized by him, and the salary will be much higher, but Meng Xing finds it troublesome, especially when he occasionally bumps into each other during the project time, he can't get enough sleep when he is busy, and he is always sleepy.

The busy thing this time was working with the project. Although the project content had almost no overlap with Chu Youan's work, he was used to keeping it secret and never talked about the details of the work to the outside world.

So in a few sentences, I finished my work with Chu Youan.

In Meng Xing's opinion, the topic was almost over, and he lowered his eyes to eat his own meal.

Chu Youan pushed the seafood plate to the center of the table, "Try this sea urchin."

Meng Xing hesitated for a few seconds, took one and put it in his bowl, "Thank you."

Hearing him share himself, Chu You was very happy, and asked him a question to let him continue: "When did you start doing this?"

"Internship in senior year, the job introduced by the teacher, I thought it was easy to do, so I kept doing it." Meng Xing said.

He majored in both finance and management in university, and he directly studied corporate management as a graduate student, which is considered to be in response to his father's training requirements.It doesn't matter to him what to learn, he can learn anything, as long as he has free time and can arrange it by himself.

Tang Wen used to complain about him, so he said to Tang Wen: "He gave me money, then treat study as work, there is nothing to be unhappy about."

But from Tang Wen's point of view, the living expenses Meng Xing talked about were not as good as his pocket money.But he didn't refute Meng Xing, because he knew that Meng Xing really didn't mind, and he didn't say anything on the scene, and Meng Xing's next sentence was: "Hurry up and enjoy your happiness now, and when you cry, you may be better than me that day."Still miserable."

Not two years after he said this, Tang Wen's father informed him that he was going to study abroad to study management and join the company by the way.ending.

Although Tang Wen still didn't want to accept it, thinking about Meng Xing's lack of qualifications to make a fuss, he didn't mention it again.

When Meng Xing talked about his major in college, he suddenly remembered the matter with Tang Wen, and couldn't help smiling.

"What did you think of?"

"Tang Wen." Meng Xing said with a smile, "See when you are free, and have a meal with Tang Wen."

"Okay, you can arrange the time. Although I'm busy recently, I'm not in a hurry. You can adjust the schedule."

"Then I'll ask Tang Wen later. He just came back and he's busy. Also, I have to visit your grandfather. As for my parents, I'll go back and talk to them first."

"Is it okay to go to see grandpa this weekend? He hasn't been at home these days and went to play with his friends."

"Can."

During the chatting process, the dishes on the table slowly bottomed out. When Meng Xing found out that the meal was coming to an end, he realized that he had talked a lot tonight.

It's an amazing feeling, like overturning the definition of myself for more than two decades, and it doesn't feel bad.

He leaned against the back of the chair and hiccupped lightly, but fortunately there was no strange sound, only a little air escaped from his mouth, he covered his mouth weakly, and then said: "I suddenly discovered something."

"Yep?"

"It turns out that talking can also make you eat well."

Chu Youan laughed, "Have you eaten yet?"

"En!" Meng Xing nodded heavily, "You can go."

After Chu Youan signed the bill, Meng Xing squinted his eyes contentedly, "Thank you, Mr. Chu, for your hospitality~"

"You're welcome."

The two went down to the garage, and Meng Xing obediently followed, but he was seriously thinking about where Chu Youan's gift should come from, and he couldn't take Chu Youan to the mall to pick out gifts.Moreover, he could feel the subtle atmosphere at this moment. Both Chu You'an and him were in a state of enjoyment, and such a situation was not suitable for giving too formal a gift.

After getting in the car, Chu Youan asked him if he wanted to go home directly or go for a walk on the trestle road. Meng Xing thought about the trestle road with nothing but souvenir shops, and chose to go home.

Tell Chu Youan the address of the apartment, and Chu Youan enters it in the navigation, "Choose the south gate or the north gate?"

Meng Xing subconsciously wanted to say "South Gate", but suddenly remembered the flower shop near the North Gate, "North Gate."

It was past nine o'clock when we got back to Meng Xing's apartment. When the car passed by the entrance of the flower shop, he saw that the clerk was just going out to collect the sign at the door, so he hurriedly turned his head and rushed out of Chu Youan and said, "Brother Youan, stop at that intersection."

"Well, what's the matter?" Chu Youan pulled over as he said.

"I'm going to do some shopping." Said Meng Xing unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.

From the rearview mirror, Chu Youan saw Meng Xing trotting into the flower shop, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and after a while, the little figure came back with flowers.

Today, Meng Xing is still wearing a white T and gray sweatpants, with a canvas bag slung across his body.

During the art exhibition, Chu Youan felt that he was like a painting, or that he was like a person in the painting, peaceful and quiet.

But back then it was almost nothing.

Now know, it's almost a contrasting color.

Chu Youan's eyes were completely glued to him, watching with admiration, eyes full of joy.A hand holding two roses came in from the co-pilot's window, and the next second he heard the little guy say with joy, "Brother You'an, thank you for today."

The two roses, one tall and one short, are very red and very bright. They have just sprayed some water, and there are water drops hanging on the petals, and the hand...is very white.

Chu Youan took the rose and watched his hand retracted and placed on the window frame with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for the rose. Sit in first."

"Turn around the intersection and you'll see the North Gate. I'll just walk back."

"There is a gift in return, come in and sign for it."

"Yep?"

Although Meng Xing was puzzled, he still sat back in the car as promised.It was only when the car door was closed that Chu Youan saw a sunflower in Meng Xing's hand, and his heart skipped a beat, "Is this for...Tang Wen?"

"Ah, no, Tang Wen is busy recently and won't come back to my place." Meng Xing put the sunflower in front of him, "It's for me."

Chu Youan felt relieved, "It's very similar to you."

Meng Xing saw that Chu Youan hadn't taken out the gift for a long time, and asked, "What gift did you prepare for me?"

Chu Youan's smile grew stronger, leaned over to Meng Xing's side, and pressed a kiss on his cheek.

Meng Xing obviously didn't expect the gift to be...this, and he was stunned.

Chu Youan asked cautiously, "Do you hate it?"

Meng Xing came back to his senses and shook his head, "I was just shocked, to be honest... I didn't feel anything."

Chu Youan: "..."

Frustrating.

Meng Xing realized that he had said the wrong thing, he tilted his head, and finally followed Chu Youan's example, leaned over and kissed Chu Youan's side.

Then he opened the door and ran.

Chu Youan left behind with complicated thoughts: "..."

When Meng Xing ran into the community, Chu Youan held the steering wheel and smiled deeply.Next time you can't let him go easily, just bully him and taste the coffee in his mouth.

Meng Xing, who has been an adult for seven years, thinks he is not so pure and understands everything, but he has heard of adult programs, but it suddenly happened to him, and his heart beats really fast.

a little shy...

I can't describe my feeling like this. I can imagine that if I told Tang Wen, I would probably only get one sentence of "that's it", but my heart is full, and I can't help but want to hum a couple of sweeter songs.

But he couldn't hum it, it would be embarrassing.

After conflicting all the way, when I walked downstairs, I still couldn't help sending Tang Wen a message: "It feels good to be in love."

This sentence is very low-key, very common.

Meng Xing thought.

This time Tang Wen replied in seconds: "It's ten o'clock."

Meng Xing: "Yes"

Tang Wen: "You haven't come back yet"

Meng Xing entered the elevator: "Are you at home?"

Meng Xing opened the door and entered the room, facing Tang Wen who was sitting on the sofa with one leg over the other impatiently shaking his feet.

"It was said to be back on Friday, but it turned out that your father didn't scold you when he came here every day?" Meng Xing took off the bag, glanced at the sunflower still in his hand, and handed it to Tang Wen: "Here, I will send you flowers."

Tang Wen confiscated it and stared at him coldly.Seeing this expression, Meng Xing was not angry, but pretended to be upset, and put the flower into Tang Wen's hand with a smile.

Tang Wen: "Why don't I come back, if I don't come back, I won't know that you might not come home at night and be tricked away. He bought this flower for you? Just one? It's really picky."

Meng Xing smiled at Tang Wen's moaning, "I bought it for you."

"Even if you bought it, it wasn't for me. You don't even know that I will come back today."

"I've told you many times that the process is not important, but the result is important. This is the truth." Meng Xing got up and went to drink a glass of water.Don't be so downcast, it's the first time I send you flowers, I'll show you some face."

Tang Wen looked at the sunflower in his hand and laughed, "I'll take this flower first, but I still have to make a note. Next time we go out on a date, you have to give it to me again."

"Okay, okay." Meng Xing sat down next to Tang Wen, tilted his upper body, and leaned lazily on Tang Wen's shoulder. Tang Wen was holding the computer to handle the work.

Meng Xing glanced at his screen, it wasn't a very important job, he could be distracted, so he said slowly, "But to be honest, I didn't really like giving gifts before, it's just a small gift like this when we meet."

Tang Wen lowered his eyes and glanced at him, "What? Suddenly enlightened under the guidance of your husband?"

"What..." Meng Xing choked on the title, "He's actually pretty good, right?"

Tang Wen didn't answer, and Meng Xing continued on his own: "Don't worry too much, I have a sense of proportion, although I don't know the normal process of a couple, and even though he and I have obtained a marriage certificate, I still......"

Tang Wen suddenly said "En", interrupting Meng Xing's chatter.

Meng Xing raised his upper body, "En?"

"I said yes, he is really good, you get along well, if you are wronged, tell me, I will kill him."

The last half of what Tang Wen said was true, and Meng Xing giggled, pulled the pillow aside and fell on the sofa.

"Come on, I'm working." Tang Wen slapped him in distaste, met his gaze, and laughed too.After laughing, Tang Wen asked him, "When are you going to tell the family?"

"Thursday, let's go back to dinner on Thursday. Anyway, the result is already like this. They can say a few words at most. It can't change anything. Just take it as a notification."

"Meng Xiaoxing is not bad. He has learned to resist. He can use the word "notice" to your parents. In the past, he followed them in everything and accepted everything. It seems that he has never met such a person."

Meng Xing curled his lips, "You don't have any eccentricities, so you don't think you've met the right person... You know, when I get my diploma, I have no reason to refuse him to work in the company."

"Ham, no matter where you think about it, don't think about it so much now. Enjoy the days of being in love. Love is really beautiful." Tang Wen paused, "There are times when you can be annoying. Don't think about it anymore., I plan to buy a new house, I want to be closer to you, where do you plan to live?"

"En?" Meng Xing didn't understand Tang Wen's meaning.

Tang Wen knocked him on the head, "You have obtained your certificates, don't you plan to live together?"

The author has something to say:

Meng Xiaoxing gave flowers to Tang Wen!

Chu Youan: "..." crying...

Meng Xiaoxing doesn't plan to live with you!

Chu Youan: "??" Angry...
