Chapter 24 (2/2)
Zhao Jinxin's lips trembled, but he could not speak for a moment.
”Drive, or I'll get off.” Li Shuo looks ahead, no longer at Zhao Jinxin.
Zhao Jinxin froze for a few seconds before starting the car.
All the way speechless, Li Shuo felt that this was the longest twenty minutes in his life. The whole carriage is full of Zhao Jinxin's breath. Even the slight breath and breath in lishuo's ears are as powerful as a drum.
Li Shuo hopes that they will have a clean start before, so that he can like the young man without reservation, do his best to him, and be excited for the excitement between them, but the more so, Zhao Jinxin's slap on the face is particularly painful.
Two people from intimacy to the shape of a stranger, the original can be so simple, fast. At the end of his past relationship with Li Shuo, even if there were contradictions, he never broke his face. After all, it was the people he liked and gave him joy and company. He was willing to treat them with greater kindness and tolerance, but Zhao Jinxin stepped on his dignity and let him fight happily.
He couldn't let go.
Let's do that. Before we get to a more ugly place, we'll have a good-bye.
When he arrived at the appointed place, Li Shuo opened the door eagerly.
Zhao Jinxin pressed his shoulder, leaned over and pressed it against his ear and said, ”honey, have a good time.”
Lishuo shook off his hand and got out of the car.
Today I met his college classmate, Cheng Sheng. They have known each other for many years. They are not only in the same circle, but also in the same industry. So they have a good friendship. But because he has been in China for a long time, he has not seen them for two years.
As soon as Li Shuo entered the restaurant, he saw the familiar figure sitting near the window. He filtered his mood, adjusted his expression, and walked over: ”Cheng Sheng.”
Cheng Sheng raised his head and said, ”ha, lishuo.” He stood up and they gave each other a big hug.
Li Shuo patted his hard biceps: ”well done.”
Cheng Sheng said proudly, ”it's better to take off. I'll show you some other day.”
Cheng Sheng is a man with not delicate facial features, but special flavor. He has a single eyelid, a high nose, a dark complexion, a bad smile, and a little wild. He is the most favorite Asian American model of white boys, while Li Shuo likes Oriental people, so they never want to rush in taste, and Ge Ming's friendship is very strong.
Cheng Sheng pushes lemonade to lishuo: ”why don't you contact me when you come back?”
”I thought I was going to stay for a week or two. If I wanted to spend more time with my parents, I didn't harass you. As a result, something happened in China. I was so worried that I didn't want to come out and block you.”
Cheng Sheng looked at him and said, ”what's the matter now? Is there anything I can do for you? You don't look very well, did you stay up late yesterday? ”Li Shuo pinched his cheek and said with a smile, ”I had a drink yesterday. It's OK. It's basically settled now. I'll go back at the beginning of next month. ”
”That's good. The boss will send me back to China next month. Then we will get together in the capital.”
”Great.”
They were chatting. Li Shuo saw Cheng Sheng's eyes attracted by him. He turned around and his face slightly changed.
Zhao Jinxin is coming towards them.
Li Shuo is thinking about how to deal with it. Zhao Jinxin has already sat next to Li Shuo's shoulder, his face is not red and he says: ”the parking space here is really hard to find.”
Cheng Sheng looks at Li Shuo in surprise: ”this is...”
Li Shuo can only smile: ”forgot to say, brought a friend, Zhao Jinxin, Jinxin, this is my university classmate, Cheng Sheng, Ernst & Young's senior accountant.”
Zhao Jinxin smiled and reached out his hand: ”nice to meet you.”
Cheng Sheng also shook back politely. They also exchanged business cards.
Zhao Jinxin probes Li Shuo's lemonade with her hand and blames him: ”why did you drink ice? Didn't you feel sick yesterday?” He beckoned the waiter to change the hot tea.
Cheng Sheng and Li Shuo have a look at each other. Li Shuo's eyes are trying to cover up the embarrassment. Cheng Sheng is smiling.
Zhao Jinxin hands Cheng Sheng one menu and spreads out another one in front of Li Shuo. He says gently, ”what would you like to eat? If you don't feel well in your stomach, let's be light. ”
Li Shuo coughed softly: ”I'm ready. You can order any.” Now he has the heart to throw Zhao Jinxin out of the window. What does this boy want to do? How can I be so thick skinned!
After the dishes were ready, Zhao Jinxin got up and went to the bathroom.
Until Zhao Jinxin can't be seen, Cheng Shengcai leans forward and lowers his voice: ”how can you get together with Zhao Jinxin?”
”You know him?” Li Shuo said
”He doesn't know me. Who in the Chinese gay circle doesn't know him?”
Li Shuo took a sip of tea and pressed the uncomfortable mood back into his stomach. Then he smiled calmly and said, ”Oh, why is he so famous? Is he rich?”
”He's good-looking and rich, but the most important thing is that since he was in his teens, he likes to be bigger than himself. His interest is unique.” Cheng Sheng leaned back to his chair, pointed to the table, and looked at lishuo with a smile. ”A man in his early thirties, handsome and elegant, is 100% to his taste.”
Lishuo smiled: ”I found this.”
”Are you still smiling? He'll dump it when he's done playing. It's too expensive. Don't be confused. ”
Lishuodun, hook lips a smile: ”you ah, too look down on me, together is just a picture of a happy, what carry not clear.”
Cheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: ”that's good. You're in the right mindset. It's not a loss at all. This is the first time I've seen it from a close distance. It's so damn strong.”
Li Shuo looks at Zhao Jinxin coming back not far away. His hand under the table slowly becomes his fist.
How much does he know about Zhao Jinxin? This man, in addition to Shao Qun's cousin, may also have how to make him strange?
