Don’t Be a Kept Man

In the evening, Shen You stood by the sink and brushed the thermos rusty. He washed twice, raised his head in silence for a moment, and then lowered his head to continue brushing. The frowned brows showed that he was very disgusted with this kind of work, but for some reason. Durable and rinsed off.

It's nothing more than giving a bowl of porridge. Someone will give it to yourself as if you order a takeaway. Whoever touches it is the bastard.

As Shen You thought, he went downstairs at night and took the thermos barrel to the security booth. He told the little security guard inside and stuffed Zhang's tip: "A person with the surname Gu will come to pick it up tomorrow morning. Remember to give it to him. "

Don't involve anymore, don't involve anymore.

Shen You's mind and heart are warning him.

The security guard said: "Okay, Mr. Shen, but I will not be on duty tomorrow morning. When I turn back, I will talk with Xiao Wu."

Shen You nodded and went back.

At the same time, Gu Lai stayed up all night and learned a few new breakfast dishes according to the mobile phone tutorial. As usual, he divided it into two, one for Yu Xi and the other for Shen You. When he drove to the construction site After passing by the security booth, I took the light blue insulation barrel back, gave a white insulation barrel, and sent a message to Shen You: [Breakfast is in the security booth, remember to come down and get it. 】

"Trouble."

Gu Lai nodded and thanked the security guard inside, and drove away happily.

"Tang Yishan, tell me what he wants to do..."

Shen You sat in the VIP booth on the dance floor on the second floor of the bar. He collapsed on the leather sofa without bones. He raised his head and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, blurring the sharp and handsome face. He pressed the smoke out on the table. , Said lazily: "You can't really throw your mind stupid, right?"

There are other elder brothers beside him, but no one dared to join them. With Tang Yishan Ke Jing, the three of them formed a table of their own.

Tang Yishan is gentle, holding a set of flower cards in his hand. He arranges the order skillfully, and says without raising his head: "It's just a meal, it's worth a few dollars. If he wants to send it, you just follow it. Anyway, you don't lose anything. , As long as you don’t poison you, you can say anything. When I was in high school, chasing girls were either car or jewelry.

Ke Jing recently became addicted to bartending and asked the waiter to serve a dozen bottles of different colors. He was there to play with him. He raised his head from his busy schedule and joked: "You are not short of money, give some jewelry It's like pulling out a piece of hair, what's the comparison."

He just gave out his most and most insignificant things. Seeing Qingzhen, it's unnecessary to go into details.

Shen You nodded him in the air, and agreed: "Finally, I said something."

Tang Yishan heard something other than that, so he drew a flower card and looked at the blurred lights in front of him, and said with interest: "Oh, why is it not comparable, Shen You, you explain Let me listen to it."

The colorful lights change, illuminating the wheel of fortune on the card clearly. There are sphinxes, demons, swans, snakes, and goddesses that symbolize angels. This also represents the ups and downs of everyone's destiny. A fair causal cycle.

"Interesting, I didn't say what I said, just let the master not ask, and ask me what I do." Shen You reached out for a bottle of wine, and found that it was all messed up by Ke Jing, and put it back in a disappointed manner. Frowning: "Waste."

Tang Yishan said: "This is not a waste, it is a waste of things."

Ke Jing sneered and didn't care: "I don't want you to pay, I will settle the bill myself."

Tang Yishan sighed at the card in his hand, but raised his eyes to see that Shen You had been staring at the phone screen thoughtfully, and said meaningfully: "Human, I really can't lack too much love."

Shen You seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't hear it, but Ke Jing leaned over and asked, "What? What can't be missing?"

Tang Yishan said to himself: "Don't be too wise."

Ke Jing: "..."

Gu Lai has a detailed plan for the future road, and his career has been put first, which also resulted in him not having too much free time to pay attention to interpersonal communication. Every day when he comes back from get off work, he will read tutorials online to learn new dishes. I also used the remaining money in my hand to sign up for a well-known cooking training class, and I can go to the class directly after the project on the site is finished.

Afterwards, for 26 days, Shen You’s breakfast was not interrupted. The ingredients were getting richer and more delicious every day, but strangely, Gu Lai never took the initiative to talk about anything, but reminded him to get the meal regularly, and then said Good morning, Shen You will not be embarrassed and reply thank you.

After a long period of time, the entire team on duty in the security pavilion recognized it.

His learning talent is amazing, at least that's what Yu Xi thinks. Thanks to the neighbors next door, she eats delicious food every morning, and she has gained sixty-eight catties in the past half month. It stands to reason that she should hate it deeply. But I just can't control my mouth...

Gu Lai knocked on the door of her house again in the early morning as usual, wandering past like a wandering soul, opened a crack, consciously stretched out his hand, and asked expectantly through the door: "What did you do today?"

Their current form is a bit like visiting prison.

"Crab noodle soup, crepe wonton, mint fried pork ribs, lotus crisp."

In the beginning, it was just a simple porridge. Over time, the difficulty of the ingredients is the difference between bronze and king.

Gu Lai put the lunch box in her hand, not knowing what to think of, and added: "It won't be there tomorrow, you remember to go downstairs to buy breakfast."

"Huh?!" When Yu Xi heard the words, he didn't care about the image of the goddess, and opened the door in surprise. His hair was messy like a bird's nest, and his big eyes were full of doubts. Forgot to wash the dishes just to me..."

"It's not because of this. I have learned all the dishes I want to learn. At the end of today's project, I will go to the formal training class tomorrow."

Gu Lai wore a crisp and neat, simple letter t-shirt, black casual pants, graffiti-style running shoes, and a black mechanical watch on his wrist. The whole person looks youthful, not only because of his appearance, but also That kind of positive attitude.

Yu Xi felt that she was getting old inexplicably, she was not very old, but looking at Gu Lai's sunny smile, she felt a sense of destruction and rottenness in her heart. She leaned sideways quietly with her back against the door, her long hair covering most of her. Zhang Lian: "You made delicious enough. Why do you learn so much? If you have money, there is nowhere to spend it. Those training courses are all cheating."

The room behind her was silent, the curtains were tightly drawn, and no sunlight could penetrate. The precious cosmetics and jewelry seemed to be the only comfort in her heart. Over time, she would unconsciously get used to the darkness and feel dazzling when she sees the sun.

Gu Lai has a clear direction for his future and has made a lot of preparations beforehand: "It doesn't matter, I checked the information. It is a formal training class with professional star chefs. If you pass the assessment, you will be recommended for employment. I will do it for a while. , Open the restaurant when you save enough money."

Yu Xi yawned: "Is that right? That's good. I'll take my friends over to join in."

Gu Lai heard the words, and a shallow dimple appeared on his cheek, reminding him: "Pull the curtains open. The sun is very good today, and it is breathable."

There will always be a few rains in the summer every year. After the suffocating heat, it is refreshing and humid. The sun is still high in the sky, but there is no such stinging heat. The jagged shadows on the side of the road cover the cicada's sound.

Gu Lai received his salary yesterday, which also heralded the end of his work. He has nothing to do today. He just wants to slowly go around the city, take a look at the scenery, and take Shen You's breakfast by the way.

Xiao Wu took the meal bag as usual, and then handed him the insulated bucket from the window: "Mr. Gu, you are sending breakfast to your friend again. It's ten minutes late today."

Today’s few dim sums are a bit of a waste of time, and they were delayed without paying attention. Gu Lai said to Xiao Wu: "Sorry, there is a bit of a jam on the road today, please trouble you."

He smiled warmly, just standing there, he could attract the eyes of countless people. When sinking downstairs, he just saw Gu Lai getting in the car, and subconsciously stopped until he saw the car going away. Come out beside the green plant road.

Xiao Wu saw him, handed out the meal bag, and finished today's handover work. It was a pity: "Mr. Shen, your friend has just left. You can meet him sooner."

Shen You didn't know what to say, touched his pocket and found that he didn't bring his wallet, so he handed him an unopened pack of cigarettes: "Trouble."

This cigarette is expensive, and ordinary people would never buy it to smoke it. Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed to pick it up at first, but Shen You put the cigarette on the window sill and left.

People can develop a habit in seven days. I don’t know when to start. Shen You used to wake up early, then look at the phone, go downstairs to get breakfast, and then go to bed at night to guess what tomorrow’s breakfast will be.

Maybe he should refuse this behavior, but humans are a complex creature. Reason often tells us the correct and harmless answers, but few people follow. The poisonous and deceptive Rose Road informed by emotions makes people desperate. .

Gu Lai didn’t talk much. In just one month, the chatting information was pitiful, and it was repeated endlessly. Either good morning, or let Shen You go to the security booth to get food and watch along. It's like a tool man with no emotions, rare today, one more.

Gu Lai: [There is stomach medicine in the bag, remember to take it. 】

Shen You wondered who rared your medicine. He had a lot of medicine at home, but he couldn't help lying on the sofa, reading the news over and over again, quietly thinking, maybe Tang Yishan was right...

He lacks love.

However, Shen You felt that this reason was not sufficient. If he put aside his previous prejudices, he even felt that Gu Lai had become perfect, with almost no major shortcomings.

Good-looking, gentle-spoken, attentive, and impeccable.

This kind of person seems to only exist in the book, but they appear in front of them alive...

Oh, there are still shortcomings, he doesn't have money himself.

Shen You opened the meal bag, took out the stomach medicine inside and looked at the name, and found that it was the kind he told him last time. Underneath were four disposable lunch boxes, containing good-looking food, pork ribs, and lotus. The crispy is delicate and small, the soup is filled with translucent skin and a bowl of wontons.

The number of snacks is well controlled, so that it won't make people eat up, and won't make people feel full.

Shen You thought while eating. Gu Lai's craft seemed to have improved again. He bit his spoon unconsciously, and then returned a message: [Thank you. 】

A few minutes later, Gu Lai wrote back: [You're welcome, as long as you like it. 】

Then there was no more news.

Shen You poured all his patience in the second half of his life in this short month. He repeatedly told himself not to reply to letters, not to bite, not to have expectations, and not to come up with the trap, so many times, this Just calmed down.

He leaned on the carpet, the room was air-conditioned, and once and again, he slowly put the Buddhist beads in his hands. He had never had the patience before. After a while, he was about to get up and wash the dishes. Then he realized that the lunch box today was not Insulation bucket, but a disposable plastic box.

"..."

Is it still necessary to wash?

I don’t know why, Shen You has a faint hunch that Gu Lai will not continue tomorrow. He hooks his lips unclearly, thinking that this person can only hold on for so long, but at the same time there is a kind of unclear way. Gloomy.

The phone slammed on the table with a dull sound. Shen You was inexplicably unwilling and sent a message to Gu Lai: "Do you need to return the box? 】

Gu Lai was visiting the boutique on the first floor of the entertainment mall, and he quickly returned to the news when he saw the news: [It doesn't matter, it is a one-off, you can just throw it away. 】

Too much water vapor in the thermos will wet the surface of the pastry, and the ribs will become soft, affecting the taste, so today he uses a plastic box.

Shen You took a deep breath and typed a line blankly: "Will you come tomorrow?" 】

He clicked to send, and then felt that the tone of the sentence was too resentful, and he withdrew it in seconds.

However, Gu Lai still saw it. He just remembered something, and said to Shen You: [Sorry, I'm going to the training class tomorrow, maybe it won't come, you remember to have breakfast later. 】

Shen You wondered if you were moving bricks. You still have to train to move bricks this year? Who is fooling? I lit a cigarette. I thought typing was too slow. I dialed the phone. After the call was connected, I went straight to the point and asked with a smile, "Do you still need training to move bricks?"

Gu Lai did not hear the sarcasm in the words, and after being lost, he explained: "I am not moving bricks, I plan to be a chef, so I signed up for a training class and started tomorrow."

That's it...

Shen You squinted slightly, seemingly satisfied with the answer. He didn't feel embarrassed about asking the wrong person at all. Hearing some noise on the other side of the phone, he asked, "Where are you?"

Gu Lai didn't think much and reported the place name, which happened to be the place where they watched the movie last time: "I am off today, so I plan to go around."

Shen You asked: "A person?"

Gu Lai nodded: "I'm alone."

After he finished speaking, he remembered the last Oolong incident: "The last time I met Yang Mian was accidental."

Is this explaining?

Shen You subconsciously glanced at the phone, as if he wanted to see Gu Lai's expression through the screen. He slowly took a cigarette, and after a long silence, he got up and took the car key from the table, and said straightforwardly: "There Wait for me."

Gu Lai was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Shen lobby said: "You have invited me to eat so many meals, I will invite you to watch a movie and find a place to wait for me."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and found that the last "ET" had been released. Searching for the latest movies, Shen You habitually skipped the crying love campus movies and chose an exciting horror movie.
