Wash the vegetables and cut into chunks. Then the meat is marinated with black pepper and cooking wine, and finally skewered with iron skewers.

They started preparing ingredients from five o'clock in the evening until seven o'clock in the evening, when the sky was dark, the four men carried the bakeware and brought things to the open-air family restaurant on the second floor.

The evening breeze is breezy, and April is approaching, it is not cold, just feel cool and comfortable. The wind came on his face, blowing on his cheeks, and the pores all over his body opened up, which was extremely refreshing. There are a total of four large baking trays. After moving all of them to the second floor, Lina walked up with the cut fruit tray.

Su Fei put down his things and ran directly to the edge of the balcony, widening his eyes, not willing to blink.

Under the tall buildings, the winding Huangpu River comes from the south, surrounding both sides of the prosperous and luxurious river. Puxi is a long and narrow golden yellow street, with brilliant lights reflecting the plane trees in the two roads, and the old-style houses of the concession period are dazzling in the gleaming golden splendor. Pudong is a magnificent neon show, row upon row of skyscrapers, lights shining on the shimmering river, full of colors.

The most beautiful night view of Shanghai, with a panoramic view.

Su Fei quickly blushed: "If you have money, you really have money on horseback!"

Lina greeted him: "Someone has said that he wants to barbecue. Charcoal fired it for you. What about people."

Su Fei immediately geared up and said: "Here is here. To be honest, I like to watch others eat. I like hot pot, I love to shabu, and I love grilling when I eat barbecue. Have you ever seen a stupid like me? You don’t believe me. Never seen. You are really happy to have dinner with me."

Everyone laughed.

Su Fei's barbecue is indeed quite a set. He skillfully puts the barbecue on the grill and brushes it with a layer of bright oil. Soon, the oil made a sizzling noise on the fire, and the scent of meat and chili powder permeated, making people move their index fingers.

In the night, enjoying the night view of the city, while eating barbecue, old Joseph, as an American, looked at the buildings on the other side of the river and became interested.

"What is that building for? It looks very strange. I used to see these buildings in various places. I never knew what that building was. It looks really interesting."

The only local Shanghainese present was Fucheng. He asked, "Which one do you mean."

Old Joseph: "That's it, there is a rectangular hole in the head."

Fucheng: "That is the global financial center."

Old Joseph: "Why is it designed to be like this? Is there any special meaning."

This stumped Fucheng. He pondered for a moment and said seriously: "I don't know the meaning, but the usefulness is obvious. At least compared to the Jinmao Mansion next to it," he laughed, "Old Joseph, you just pay attention When I got to it, I didn't even notice the Jin Mao Tower."

"Hey, you make a lot of sense."

After hearing this, Lina and Su Fei also became interested. The four had a barbecue while chatting. Only Uncle Zhuo sat tepidly on the side, eyelids drooping, eating meat bite after bite, and didn't intend to pay attention to them at all.

The four people chatted in full swing, Zhuo Huan said nothing, but his mouth was sneered and arrogant, as if it was not him who was isolated, but he alone isolated the Fucheng four.

Old Joseph turned his head and called him: "Reid."

Uncle Zhuo gave a look in his eyes: "Huh?"

Old Joseph: "Do you have a house in Pudong."

"No."

"That's a pity, we still want to go to Pudong for dinner and see the night scene."

"..."

His role is to provide you with a gathering place? !

Zhuo Huan sneered, too lazy to bother with the mentally retarded group.

After a while, Zhuo Huan stood up and went to the table to get a bottle of drink. Su Fei and the three didn't notice. When he sat down again, they didn't sit in the place far away from everyone, but sat beside Fucheng. The moment he sat down, Fucheng paused slightly and turned his head to look at him.

Zhuo Huan didn't give him a look. He bent his fingers, hooked gently, and opened the can.

Su Fei: "I love SH... The lights on that building keep changing. Are they advertising? The kind of neon advertising?"

Fucheng glanced at it and recognized the building: "That's the Aurora Building. It's an advertisement, it's a public advertising space."

Su Fei scratched his head: "What is SH?"

Old Joseph saw it all: "Shencheng! Su Fei, I find that you are getting stupid recently."

Su Fei: "Fuck, who knew someone would advertise to Shencheng to confess!"

Everyone laughed, and Fucheng couldn't help it: "This shouldn't be an advertisement for buying, it's a city image promotion?"

As soon as the voice fell, Su Fei suddenly brightened his eyes and pointed to the skyscraper in the distance: "I know this. This is definitely not a city image promotion... Liu Xue, marry me! Fuck, you can still propose marriage here. ?!"

Hearing this, Fucheng turned his head and looked at it. As expected, the LED screen on the Aurora Building suddenly changed to five characters "Liu Xue, marry me." Fucheng was also surprised for a while, he thought about it, and said: "Generally speaking, no one will buy this LED advertisement for private purposes...I heard it is expensive. But it seems that there is nothing wrong with it."

Lina became interested: "How much is it?"

This time I really asked Down Fucheng. He turned on the phone and checked it. Looking at the numbers on the phone screen, he was silent for a long time. When he raised his head again, his expression was serious: "700,000 an hour."

Su Fei: "..."

Old Joseph: "..."

Lina propped her face with one hand: "It's so romantic! If someone uses this to confess to me, I think I will be tempted."

The cold male voice sounded softly in the night breeze: "Are you tempted by 700,000, or are you tempted by this stupid LED confession."

Lina turned to look at Zhuo Huan, showing a charming smile: "700,000." She didn't mean to hide it at all.

Zhuo Huan sneered: "Use this kind of mentally retarded thing to announce your private affairs to the whole world. People who do this kind of thing will definitely not exceed 80."

Su Fei was dissatisfied and said, "RIP, you don't understand the style, right?"

Zhuo Huan raised an eyebrow lightly: "Are you an adult?"

Su Fei: "..."

"I will be an adult in nine months!"

Old Joseph: "I know love very well, and I know the romantic and charming aspects of women very well. Reid, this time I want to talk about you too. Only when I love a woman will I publicize my love for her and let the world witness it. Don’t you think this is the place where love never changes, eternal and beautiful?"

Zhuo Huan: "It is the mathematical theorems that will never change, not hormones and dopamine."

Old Joseph: "..."

"Teacher Zhuo, do you have a girlfriend?"

The expression suddenly stopped, Zhuo Huan turned around and looked at the young man beside him.

Under the night sky, a beautiful young man put his chin on and looked at him quietly. Those eyes are as bright as stars, and the sparkling light on the Huangpu River is reflected in the pupils.

Su Fei slapped the table: "You don't even have a girlfriend, no wonder you don't understand the style!"

Uncle Zhuo gave a cold snort, took a drink, and said nothing.

After everyone ate for a while, Lina suddenly remembered: "By the way, Reid, I remember you collected a few bottles of good wine in that villa. Your villa is sold, is the wine still there?"

The old Joseph had already eaten and drank for half of the time, and felt tired, but now he was energetic: "Good wine?!"

Lina smiled and said, "Quietly telling you, the last time I went to Reid Villa, I saw a bottle of Louis XIII."

Old Joseph: "Fuck!" He brushed his head and stared at Zhuo Huan expectantly, his eyes open, as if he was looking at the most enchanting woman in the world.

Zhuo Huan: "..."

"You came to me to let me give you skewers and drink my wine?" Zhuo Huan reminded, "Heh, today is my birthday."

Old Joseph: "Reid, wait until my birthday, I don’t want your birthday present, okay! I have never seen Louis XIII in my life, so you just let me have a sip, a sip... Reid, I always think you are in the world The most handsome man, you who own Louis XIII are even more handsome!"

Zhuo Huan: "..."

"nonsense."

Old Joseph was taken aback, then reacted.

You are the most handsome man in the world.

nonsense.

Well, Uncle Zhuo's automatic reply mode.

Zhuo Huan: "The person who used the LED to confess the marriage proposal in that building is mentally retarded."

Old Joseph immediately understood: "Yes, definitely mentally retarded."

Su Fei yelled, "I sold you a bottle of wine? What about your conscience, old Joseph!"

Zhuo Huan snorted and stood up.

Old Joseph: "Reid, what are you doing?"

"Get the wine."

In an instant, old Joseph seemed to be a believer to see Jesus, watching Zhuo Huan's back step by step with a gaze of worship. When Zhuo Huan got down the stairs and couldn't see it anymore, he took back his obsessive look: "I declare that Reid is my god tonight, and none of you are allowed to speak ill of him. Especially you, Su Fei."

Su Fei: "..."

"A bottle of wine makes you no longer love women, so you ask me not to scold RIP? Am I scolding him? I'm telling the truth!"

Old Joseph looked at him faintly: "In 2012, a bottle of Louis XIII was auctioned at Christie's auction house and sold for 100,000 US dollars."

Su Fei: "..."

The punk boy stood up and said, "Where did RIP go? I want to be friends with him! I like a good man with such a true temperament!"

Lina covered her lips and chuckled. Reid, Su Fei and Old Joseph can get along so well, right?

Yu Guangli suddenly saw a shaking figure. Old Joseph and Su Fei were discussing what kind of friends Uncle Zhuo likes. Lina looked up at Fucheng and called him: "Fuck, where are you going?"

Fucheng stood still and smiled: "Go to the bathroom."

Lina: "Oh."

From the spiral staircase down, around a cluster of turquoise tropical plants, is a long, narrow and quiet corridor. Did not see Zhuo Huan, nor heard a sound. Fucheng looked around, but still didn't see the man, so he walked towards the kitchen.

Incomprehensible abstract paintings hung on the walls of the corridor. The weird twisted lines and weird color squares complement the slightly deserted interior of this house, and it is full of pure and rational beauty.

The wine storage room should be next to the kitchen, which is a normal way of thinking.

Fucheng walked to the kitchen and looked for it again, but he still didn't see a man.

...Where can go?

Fucheng pondered for a moment, and already began to wonder if he and the other party happened to miss him, he had already returned to the open-air restaurant on the second floor?

Suddenly, a hurried and sharp opening of the door sounded from his side, and Fu Cheng was taken aback, and he subconsciously turned his head to look aside. His gaze fell straight into a pair of clear eyes, before he could see the man's face clearly, a pulling force came from his arm, he was pulled into the house, and the door closed behind him.

Under the dim light, Fucheng panicked for a moment. He quickly settled down.

This is a bedroom with a dim yellow bedside lamp on the corner of the bed. The warm and soft light shone on the long hair of the man's forehead, like golden stars shimmering faintly. The eyes of the two met, they were very close, and their breathing seemed to be one body.

There is a faint smell of smoke in the house.

Fucheng: "Are you smoking?"

Zhuo Huan did not return him: "Come down and find me?"

"I want to go to the bathroom."

The man smiled maliciously: "There is a bathroom on the second floor, and there is more than one."

Fucheng was silent for a long time: "I didn't find it, I know where the one on the first floor is."

Zhuo Huan stretched the tone: "Oh."

The man's casual and soft voice pressed his heart, and Fucheng's fingers were tightly pinched on the small box in his pocket. After dozens of seconds, he still made a decision. With a calm expression, he took out a delicate small box from his pocket, and said lightly: "For you, happy birthday, Teacher Zhuo."

With almost arrogant gaze for a moment, Zhuo Huan lowered his head and looked at the small gift box in front of him.

He took it and opened it.

It is a pair of beautiful and small cufflinks.

The round buckle surface is inlaid with fine diamonds, which is radiant and shining. It looks like the Milky Way is all over the sky, and when it falls, it is full of light, all in one place.

"Do you buckle it for me?"

Fucheng looked up at him.

Zhuo Huan handed the gift to Fucheng, walked directly into the cloakroom, and took off the simple T-shirt.

The man's thin and beautiful body suddenly caught his eye, and the smooth and long lines followed the shoulder blades on both sides to outline the thin but not tight muscles, hidden below. Fucheng stood there, staring blankly. Zhuo Huan pulled out a white shirt from the hanger and put it on.

He turned and walked, buttoning the buttons one by one. In the end, the three on the top were not buttoned, and the man's gushing hormones were like strong wine, rushing toward his face.

Zhuo Huan stretched out his hands: "Do you buckle?"

After a long silence, the black-haired young man took out a cufflink from the gift box.

He lowered his head and carefully pinned the cufflinks to the seam of his shirt.

Zhuo Huan looked down at the top of the young man's well-behaved head, and took a deep breath. It smelled of verbena.

The second button is harder to buckle than the first one I don’t know why. Fucheng tried a third time, and the man's muffled and ambiguous voice resounded above his head: "Fucheng."

With a click, the cufflinks clicked smoothly.

Fucheng slowly raised his head.

Zhuo Huan tilted his head and smiled lightly at him: "Do you know if I have a girlfriend?"

Fucheng's lips moved.

The man's slender eyebrows were slightly bent, and his smiling eyes, as he once said, were blooming with endless stars in the universe.

Suddenly there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door, someone was walking down the stairs. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Crossing the corridor and passing by the kitchen door, Lina's surprised voice sounded: "Well, aren't the two of them here?"

The heart is beating violently in the chest cavity, and it can jump out of the throat in a second faster.

Fucheng raised his head and looked at Zhuo Huan's eyes. Zhuo Huan's gaze slowly fell down, stopping on the young man's slightly opened lips. After a while, he bowed his head slightly and moved closer. It was only a slight distance, but Fucheng suddenly understood what he meant.

It's time to avoid it, it's time to open the door behind him to find Lina.

However, inexplicably, what he did was impartial, and also slightly upward, welcoming an unverifiable distance.

The next moment, touching his lips, Zhuo Huan closed his eyes, pressing the door with one hand, deepening the secret and silent kiss.

Behind the door, Lina didn't seem to be here to find someone. After looking for a while and couldn't find someone, she walked to the door. A young, unfamiliar male voice came from outside the house, who was here to deliver the cake. Lina thanked him, then walked across the corridor outside the door with the cake, and went up the stairs.

The tip of the tongue gently rubbed the young man's mouth, and his lips were kisses sweet as clouds. Breathing and gasping are tightly entwined, obviously starting with a light touch, but getting hotter.

On the second floor, an open-air family restaurant.

After Lina took the cake upstairs, Old Joseph patted the table and looked behind her: "Reid hasn't come back yet?"

Lina smiled and said, "You should be prepared. It is very likely that Reid doesn't want to give you a drink and has already escaped. I didn't see him downstairs."

Old Joseph stared straight: "What?!"

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Old Joseph craned his neck hopefully. After seeing the incoming person, his gaze immediately fell, and at a glance he saw the bottle of wine in Zhuo Huan's hand.

Old Joseph rushed forward, tears in his eyes: "Louis XIII! Reid, you are my god. How can there be such a lovely person in the world as you? I love you so much!"

A ridiculous arc was set off at the corner of his mouth, and Zhuo Huan threw a hundred thousand dollars worth of spirits directly to the old Joseph: "There are too many people who love me."

At this time, Fucheng walked up the stairs from behind him and walked back to the dining table calmly.

Old Joseph panicked and secured the bottle of baby spirits. He wanted to accuse "Reid, how can you be so rude, what if you break it?" He suddenly remembered that this is his own god in front of him, and immediately said in a gentle voice: "Okay, I'll have a drink. Everyone comes to taste it. One bite is three thousand dollars. Don't drink it when you are underage. Just take four glasses. Strong alcohol, kids can't drink it."

Su Fei was angrily: "I'm already eighteen, and he will be an adult in nine months!"

Lina stuffed a bottle of Coke into his hand: "Here, drink a drink, there are still minors who have only grown up for nine months."

"……wipe!"

Zhuo Huan walked to the dining table and sat down, picked up a skewer of barbecue, and took a bite. However, the originally thick and spicy barbecue suddenly didn't seem so delicious anymore. He ate two bites with the same taste and put it aside.

Su Fei suddenly took out his mobile phone and started to count down somehow: "3, 2, 1...0!"

Everyone looked up at him.

Su Fei: "Hurry up and look at the building, and the one who proposed to you. I checked the time and it has been more than an hour. This is too rich. I bought it not only for an hour, but also for the second hour. ?"

On the other side of the Huangpu River, on the LED screen of the Aurora Building, there were still the five characters "Liu Xue marry me".

The old Joseph said with sincere emotion this time: "This is no longer romantic. This way of spending money is really mentally retarded, how good it is for me."

Su Fei nodded in agreement.

"It's mentally retarded." A faint voice sounded, the voice was extremely low and soft, and only Su Fei, who was standing next to Fucheng, heard it. He felt inwardly and looked at Fucheng. Under the bright night of sleepless Shencheng, Fucheng picked up the glass and drank the spirits. The wine was too strong, and his eyes were red in an instant.

He said softly: "It's really mentally retarded."

After drinking, eating barbecue, the next step is to unpack the cake, blow the candles, and sing the birthday song.

After Lina put the candle in, Su Fei said in surprise: "RIP, you are thirty!"

Zhuo Huan glanced at him lightly.

Su Fei immediately shrank his neck.

Lina smiled and said, "Reid, make a wish. You can only make one, and only one is allowed."

Old Joseph curiously asked: "Where is the rule, can I only make one wish?"

Lina: "Our family celebrates birthdays like this. If there is only one wish, it is not considered greedy, and it can definitely be fulfilled."

Zhuo Huan looked at the candles on the cake, his brows faint, no emotion. Suddenly, he lowered his head and blew out the candle.

Lina was surprised: "It's over so soon? What wish did you make."

Zhuo Huan lazily said, "I can't say it."

Lina helplessly spread her hands: "Okay, come and eat cake."

Lina and Su Fei began to divide the cake, while the old Joseph, Fucheng and Zhuo Huan sat at the dining table and waited quietly.

Zhuo Huan sat across from Fucheng this time, with one hand propped on his chin and his head sideways, looking at the young man on the other side of the table with a clear expression. Fucheng stood up and took the cake that Su Fei handed over: "Thank you." As soon as he sat down, his legs were suddenly touched by something. He stiffened and raised his head.

Zhuo Huan raised the corners of his mouth.

Old Joseph: "Hey, this cake is really good. I haven't liked cakes for many years, but this one is really delicious."

Lina: "Please make a custom made from France if you know it. If you like it, you will also order one on your birthday next month."

Old Joseph was taken aback, then nodded and smiled: "Thank you."

Lina blinked at him: "You're welcome, I remember all your birthdays very clearly."

Divide the cake, and finally sit back at the table. Lina remembered: "By the way, Reid, why did you change your clothes. Where did you go just now? I didn't see you in the wine room."

Under the dining table, the man cocked his legs, and there was a young man who bumped into the opposite side one after another.

At the dining table, Zhuo Huan let out a soft "Oh" and said casually: "If I touched the dirty clothes, I went to the bedroom and changed them."

"I just wanted to say it," Lina smiled softly, "Your cufflinks, Bulgari's new gypsophila? When did you buy it, it looks so good. I have never liked Bulgari's cufflinks before. Only this one is good, it suits you well."

Zhuo Huan: "Birthday present."

Across the table, Fucheng paused with the cake fork in his hand.

Lina: "Oh? In addition to me, anyone remembers your birthday? Who is it? Do I know it."

Zhuo Huan smiled.

"You don't know him like that."

Lina was stunned, and smiled: "You are really becoming more and more philosophical when you speak, but I can't understand it. Old Joseph, do you understand?"

"Ah, what did you say? What time?" Old Joseph was already drunk, and said that he would only take a sip of Louis XIII. After getting it, he had already drunk half a bottle by himself.

Lina can only ask Fucheng: "I think this is probably another cold joke of Reid, Fu, what do you think."

Fucheng ate the cake and thought for a while: "Na Zhuo's joke is really not funny."

The author has something to say:

Zhuo Anxi: Wow, I, eat, have arrived.
