Yan Qiu subconsciously wanted to go over, but just as he took a step, he was stopped by a voice behind him.

Yan Qiu turned around, and then saw Qin Mu coming over at some time, saw him standing here, instantly understood what he meant, and said with a helpless smile: "I was thinking just now that you wouldn't sneak over to pay the bill, didn't you?"Come to think of it, it really is."

As Qin Mu said, he took out a card and walked over to pay the bill, "It's agreed this time, I'll invite you, next time you can invite me again."

As he spoke, he asked the waiter, "How much is it, please?"

Seeing this, Yan Qiu quickly said, "Qin Mu, the knot is over."

Hearing this, Qin Mu paused for holding Ka's finger, turned around and said to him, "How much? I'll give it to you."

When Yan Qiu heard this, he quickly shook his head, "I didn't make the knot."

"Who is that..." Before Qin Mu finished speaking, he saw a man in a dark gray suit standing up from a seat not far away.

The man is tall and wears a pair of rimless glasses. He looks very gentle, but for some reason, there is an inexplicably strong sense of oppression all over his body.

An unlit cigarette was held between his slender fingers, and it was broken as he stood up, and was thrown into the trash can beside him.

Then, he walked towards them slowly.

Yan Qiu followed Qin Mu's gaze, and it was indeed Li Zhi, his eyes lit up, and he called obediently, "Mr. Li."

Li Zhi stood beside him, smiled at him with downcast eyes, then raised his head to look at Qin Mu, and then replied unhurriedly: "I made it, is Mr. Qin eating well?"

Qin Mu had guessed the identity of the person coming from the moment he heard Yan Qiu yell, "Mr. Li". After all, no one in City A knew Li Zhi's name.

But he was still a little surprised that he knew himself.

After all, the Qin family and the Li family have no intersection.

"Do you know me?" Qin Mu asked a little strangely.

Hearing this, Li Zhi lowered his eyes and glanced at Yan Qiu, then smiled and pointedly said: "Xiao Qiu's friends, I will pay more or less attention to them."

Yan Qiu didn't react yet, but subconsciously wanted to explain that he and Qin Mu were not friends.

But Qin Mu heard his subtext, and glanced between him and Yan Qiu, his eyes became complicated.

Li Zhi could feel the change in Qin Mu's attitude, but he didn't care, so he just lowered his head and asked Yan Qiu, "Have you finished eating?"

In fact, he only ate half of it, but Yan Qiu didn't want to eat it for a long time. Regarding the ready-made ladder delivered to his door, Yan Qiu immediately took advantage of the trend.

So he nodded immediately.

"Then I'll take you home?" Li Zhi asked a question, but for some reason, there was some unquestionable meaning.

But Yan Qiu didn't intend to refuse at first, after all, if he didn't go with Mr. Li, it would be Qin Mu who would send him home in a while.

So he immediately replied: "Please...you."

"No trouble." Li Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Mu as he said, "Then we'll leave first, you can do what you want."

The two of them sang together, there was no room for Qin Mu to interrupt.

Therefore, he could only force a smile, nodded at them, and watched them leave side by side.

After getting into the car, Li Zhi asked, "Should we still go back to the old house?"

When Yan Qiu heard this, he quickly shook his head, "Just send me to Qingning Street."

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately reacted, "You moved out?"

"En." Yan Qiu nodded.

"Have you found a place to live?" Li Zhi continued to ask.

Yan Qiu thought of the house he was optimistic about when he was off work, and he could live in it as soon as the contract was signed, so he had found it, so he nodded, "I found it."

"That's good." Li Zhi didn't say anything more when he heard the words, and the car became quiet for a while.

Yan Qiu glanced sideways at Li Zhi, recalled what he said just now in his mind, hesitated for a moment, and explained: "Qin Mu and I are not friends."

"Really?" Li Zhi didn't change much on his face, just quietly waiting for him to continue talking.

"Well, I only owe him a favor to invite him to dinner."

"What favor?"

In fact, compared with the things that Li Zhi deals with every day, what he encounters is nothing more than a trivial matter.

Yan Qiu didn't know if he would be interested, but when he looked up, he saw Li Zhi looking sideways at him with an expression of listening carefully.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal at first, but for some reason, Yan Qiu suddenly felt a little wronged in front of Li Zhi.

But he still restrained his emotions, and said briefly: "My cat was lost, and Qin Mu found my cat."

Hearing this, Li Zhi lowered his eyes slightly, covered the look in his eyes, and said slowly: "That is indeed a favor, and should be treated."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes to look at him, and continued: "However, I have already settled the debt, and your favor has also been paid."

Yan Qiu nodded, feeling that what he said seemed to be correct.

But after thinking about it, it was originally his treat, but now that Mr. Li settled the bill for him, do I still owe Mr. Li?

Thinking of this, Yan Qiu quickly asked: "Mr. Li, I will transfer the total amount to you."

A trace of helplessness flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, and he said slowly, "Compared with this, I want to hear you ask me other questions."

"What's the question?" Yan Qiu asked in a daze.

"Like...why am I here?"

It was only then that Yan Qiu remembered this incident. When he saw Mr. Li just now, he was sitting there alone and didn't order food. Now that he thinks about it, it's a bit strange.

"Why are you here?" Yan Qiu asked following his words.

Li Zhi looked into Yan Qiu's eyes, his emotions had always been restrained, but tonight, for some reason, looking at Yan Qiu's ignorant eyes, it seemed that a crack suddenly appeared in the glass that was originally intact, and something leaked out along the crack uncontrollably.out.

"I wanted to invite you to dinner." Li Zhi paused for a moment before continuing, "I didn't expect to be preempted, so I found a seat close to you..."

"Sulking."

For some reason, Yan Qiu subconsciously didn't want Li Zhi to know that he lived in a hotel.

So as soon as I arrived at Qingning Street, I asked the driver to put me down.

Back at the hotel, the little raccoon flower was already waiting for him at the door, Yan Qiu played with it for a while, then went to wash up, and then lay down on the bed together with it.

Yan Qiu usually sleeps well, but for some reason, tonight he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Li Zhi's words filled his mind, "Sulking."

What Yan Qiu understood at the beginning was that as Li Zhi, he must have never been preempted by anyone, so he was angry.

However, when he looked up to meet Li Zhi's eyes, he felt that he seemed to have misunderstood.

Is he angry with himself?

But why?

Yan Qiu recalled everything since their acquaintance, and Li Zhi seemed to have a special preference for him.

It's just that Yan Qiu always thought that it was because of Li Zhi's liking of his works, and because of Mr. Li's face, but today he discovered that there seemed to be other reasons.

Li Zhi looked at him with affectionate eyes.

He will never like himself, will he?

However, as soon as this idea came out, Yan Qiu immediately denied it.

How could it be possible, for a person like Mr. Li, there must be countless excellent people around him.

How could he fall in love with such an ordinary man?

What's more, although Yan Qiu has no requirements for his sexual orientation, he has always liked people who make him feel warm.

But not everyone is like him.

It is not necessarily true that Mr. Li likes girls.

So thinking about it this way, the possibility of Mr. Li liking him is very slim.

He must be thinking too much.

So Yan Qiu pinched Xiao Lihua's ears, trying to force himself to calm down.

No, how could Mr. Li like himself?

After moving into the new home, Yan Qiu was finally able to catch his breath.

Although the house is not big, he arranged everything with great care. After all, this is the temporary home for him and Xiao Lihua in the future.

After finishing the house, Yan Qiu began to carve the statue of Bodhisattva arranged by Master.

Because asked Master to explain it a few days ago, Mr. Li gave him a two-week grace period.

Only then did Yan Qiu have more time.

He carefully carved the statue of the Bodhisattva and took it over. Master Li held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but this time he didn't say anything, he only picked a few minor problems, and then asked him for a photo.

"Master, why do you want a photo?" Yan Qiu asked puzzled.

"Of course it's useful, I'll tell you when the time comes."

"Okay." Since old man Li said so, he didn't ask any more questions, picked a more formal photo from his phone, and sent it to old man Li's phone.

After this incident, Mr. Li didn't mention it again, but still assigned him various tasks every week to complete different works.

Time flies, and everything seems to be on the right track.

Under the guidance of Mr. Li, Yan Qiu's woodcarving skills are getting better day by day, and because of the cooperation with Li's family, Yan Qiu has gradually been reused in the company.

Fu Jianting and Lu Ruan also began to slowly fall in love with him.

Since he moved out of the old house, Lu Ruan couldn't contact him at all, so he could only come to the company to see him, and asked him to go home often.

Yan Qiu excused not to see each time, and he also adhered to the principle of not wasting the things she sent, and distributed them to colleagues in the office.

Although everyone was surprised by his new identity at first, they were relieved when they found out that Yan Qiu was still the same Yan Qiu and hadn't changed much.

That day Yan Qiu came home from get off work, after washing up, he sat down at the table and picked up the carving knife as usual, ready to finish the homework assigned by his master.

However, at this moment, it suddenly occurred to him that he hadn't broadcast live for a long time.

Before, it was delayed because of the operation, and later because of all kinds of messy things.

After finally getting some free time today, Yan Qiu thought about live streaming for a while.

Now the network is updated too fast, I haven't broadcast live for so long, I don't know if it has been forgotten.

not to mention……

It was only when Yan Qiu turned on his phone that he remembered that Mr. Li would also watch his live broadcast.

I wonder if he will watch it tonight?

Having said that, since he sent himself back last time, they haven't seen each other for many days.

Therefore, Yan Qiu's mood was more complicated when he started the live broadcast.

He adjusted the position of the camera as usual to ensure that he would not reveal himself, and then clicked on the live broadcast.

Yan Qiu was actually a little apprehensive, but he didn't expect that many accounts would flood in as soon as the broadcast started.

There are a few names that are still familiar.

"What's wrong with the nymphomaniac: Did I read it wrong? You're back!"

"Orange Orange Big Orange: Brother, so you still remember my TAT by the Daqing Lake"

"I love SpongeBob SquarePants' crab roe buns: brother, please start a Weibo, at least let us have a place where we can find you, please!"

"Ruiping This World: Woodcarving? The current anchor is really versatile."

...

Yan Qiu stared at the screen for a long time, but did not see the familiar title.

For a moment, didn't know whether to be disappointed or relieved.

But it’s not good to keep looking at the screen like this, so as usual, after saying hello to everyone, started to carve the things in hands.

What Yan Qiu used today was a piece of boxwood to carve a Buddha statue.

It has already been carved in half, so Yan Qiu's plan today is to finish it.

The woodcarving technique requires full concentration, and a wrong knife may destroy the whole piece, so Yan Qiu quickly immersed himself in it.

Therefore, he didn't notice that the little raccoon flower woke up from the side.

Little Lihua jumped onto the table as usual, trying to find a comfortable place to lie down, and then carve with him.

However, when he jumped up, he accidentally knocked down the mobile phone holder on the side.

Yan Qiu was taken aback, but fortunately he put away the knife in time, so that the wood carving in his hand was not destroyed.

Little Lihua was also startled by the sound, and quickly jumped off the table.

"It's okay." Yan Qiu patted his head reassuringly, and then went to support the phone.

However, when he adjusted the position of the phone and saw his face on the screen, Yan Qiu suddenly realized that the live broadcast was on now.

So, he showed his face!

The author has something to say:

Li Zhi: It's so obvious, he should be able to understand it, right?

Xiaoqiu: He likes me?Impossible (￣▽￣)
