Mr. Mu, stop bullying Professor Jian.

"It's OK. We are not close friends, so it's hard to comment."

Covered by a shadow, Luo Jiushuai looked up and saw a tall and handsome man standing behind Jian Zhinian.

"Um... Song Liangjie? When did you arrive? Why didn't you say anything?"

Out of politeness, Luo Jiushuai stood up hurriedly.

Song Liangjie was wearing a long black coat, a light grey mid-neck wool sweater, and brown boots. He looked full of energy and had a bright smile on his face.

"Handsome guy, I haven't seen you for so many years. You have become much more handsome."

After not seeing him for many years, Song Liangjie has changed a lot. Even though his outfit has become a little softer and sharper, it cannot conceal his flamboyant nature.

Luo Jiushuai almost didn't recognize him, but the familiar call of "handsome guy" instantly shortened the distance between the two of them. Luo Jiushuai put his arm around Song Liangjie's neck, acting like good brothers.

"Yes, it's Brother Jie!"

Song Liangjie glanced in the direction of Jian Zhinian, and unnoticeably took off Luo Jiushuai's arm from his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Jiushuai, would you like to introduce yourself?"

Luo Jiushuai sneered and said lightly: "Jian Zhinian, you know him."

Then, Luo Jiushuai said to Jian Zhinian: "Zhi Nian, this is Song Liangjie. I haven't seen him for many years. He has changed a lot."

Song Liangjie turned around and faced Jian Zhinian, bowed and smiled, and stretched out his hand: "I'm Song Liangjie, long time no see, we've had dinner together a few times, you haven't forgotten me, right?"

Jian Zhinian stood up, shook hands with Song Liangjie, smiled slightly, and said, "Remember, I'm Jian Zhinian. I didn't expect Jiu Shuai to invite you. Let's treat you to some tea together."

Jian Zhinian handed each of them a menu.

Luo Jiushuai generously treated Jian Zhinian to a meal, picking out the expensive items.

Song Liangjie curled up the fingers of his right hand, silently savoring the refreshing touch of skin when their hands were clasped just now, and casually added two small snacks.

Seeing that neither of them ordered tea, Jian Zhinian asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Luo Jiushuai yawned and said, "A cup of black coffee, no sugar, no milk."

"A cup of jasmine tea, thank you." Song Liangjie said with a smile.

Jian Zhinian was stunned for a moment, then said to the waiter, "One more cup of black coffee, no milk sugar, two cups of jasmine black tea, thank you."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Jian also likes to drink jasmine black tea." Song Liangjie was slightly surprised.

Jian Zhinian didn't really care about this coincidence and said, "It's just the public taste. Mr. Song is too polite. Just call me by my name."

Song Liangjie readily agreed and said, "Zhi Nian, we are old acquaintances, you can just call me 'Ajie'."

Jian Zhinian thought about it and felt that it was a good idea, so he nodded.

Luo Jiushuai noticed the awkward politeness between the two people, and fortunately, after a few words, they finally returned to normal addressing.

"Hey, you two know each other after all. There's no need to be so reserved. We might run into each other often in S City in the future. By the way, what do you do now, Ajie?"

Song Liangjie said: "Smart driving."

"Of course you can. Artificial intelligence and the automotive industry are both hot industries recently and have a bright future!" Luo Jiushuai praised.

Song Liangjie shook his head and said, "Just going with the flow. I heard that you became the chief doctor?"

Luo Jiushuai shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do. A medical student can become a doctor, and an associate one at that. It's too difficult to get promoted in a hospital."

Jian Zhinian listened to his complaints with a smile and said, "You should be content. There aren't many deputy chief doctors in their thirties, even with a lantern."

Luo Jiushuai glared at him and said, "Can't you let me pretend and be low-key? Jian, teach!"

Song Liangjie discovered since high school that Jian Zhinian, who had a cold personality, would only become lively and bright in front of Luo Jiushuai.

Years have passed.

The person he cares about in his heart has not changed, as gentle as the breeze back then.

"I didn't expect Zhinian, who is so young, is already a professor." There was a little more admiration in Song Liangjie's eyes.

Jian Zhinian's face turned slightly red, and he was obviously not very good at chatting about these topics of mutual praise.

While the waiter was serving refreshments, Song Liangjie changed the topic sensitively and casually, talking about his high school life, his preferences for sweet snacks, and the changing situation in the automotive industry...

Song Liangjie is a talkative person and he easily makes the atmosphere among the three people cheerful.

Luo Jiushuai was deliberately restrained today. He didn't talk much and spent most of his time eating, so much so that he accidentally took a bite of the sweet cake.

Luo Jiushuai generally doesn't eat things that are too sweet.

I must have picked up the wrong one when I was distracted.

He was really feeling a little greasy, so he casually opened the bowl of soup that Jian Zhinian had brought over on the table and poured out half a bowl to reduce the greasy sweetness.

"Huh? What smells so good? Jiushuai, you're still hiding something from others like you did in high school?"

As they were chatting happily, a fragrance wafted over, and Song Liangjie leaned over to joke.

Luo Jiushuai said without thinking, "Why are you hiding anything? I made soup this morning. The cake was too greasy. I'll have a sip to relieve the greasiness. There's still some left. Do you want some?"

Song Liangjie's eyes showed expectation, and he asked Jian Zhinian inquiringly, "If you don't mind, can I have a bowl?"

Jian Zhinian felt a little embarrassed, and in his heart he wanted to beat up Luo Jiushuai. With his cooking skills, it was fine to give him a drink, but how could he take it everywhere and embarrass himself? ?

"I don't mind, but it's been so long, the soup is probably cold..."

Song Liangjie didn't expect such an unexpected gain, so he immediately ordered a bowl of soup himself. The moment the soup entered his mouth, his eyes couldn't help but narrowed.

“Delicious!”

Song Liangjie praised loudly.

Jian Zhinian smiled awkwardly. Just at this moment his cell phone rang. It was Mu Qingyuan.

His face changed slightly and he made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

"Mr. Mu..."

"I'm at the company. There's a document in the study. Can you go back and bring it over for me?"

Jian Zhinian took a deep breath and said, "I'm heading to the airport now. It will take at least an hour to go back. If I go to the Mu family, it will take at least two hours..."

"I can wait."

Jian Zhinian gritted his teeth and said, "Mu's company is so big, is there no one there?"

Mu Qingyuan's voice came calmly from the phone: "Today is Sunday, most of them are not at work, let alone entering my home. If I remember correctly, you are also an employee of Mu's, my technical assistant, Jian Zhinian, hurry up, I'm waiting."

"Okay, then you wait!"

Jian Zhinian hung up the phone, washed his face in the bathroom, adjusted his mood, and then returned to the restaurant.

He apologized and said that he had something urgent to do and had to leave first.

Luo Jiushuai held his phone in his hand, looking agreeable, and said, "We're almost done eating. Old Huo is driving me crazy. The driver's car is downstairs, so I have to go."

"Zhi Nian, go back by yourself. I won't see you off."

Luo Jiushuai greased the soles of his shoes and ran away first.

Song Liangjie turned to look at Jian Zhinian and asked casually, "Where did you park your car?"

Jian Zhinian was embarrassed and said, "I came here by taxi."

Song Liangjie curled his lips unconsciously and said, "Where do you live? I'll take you there."

Jian Zhinian waved his hand hastily and said, "No, no, it's very convenient to take a taxi here."

Song Liangjie didn't say anything more. The elevator opened and Jian Zhinian got off first on the first floor.

It started drizzling outside at some point, and Jian Zhinian went out without even bringing an umbrella. Seeing that the rain was not heavy, he simply stood on the side of the road waiting for a bus.

Perhaps it was because of the sudden rain and the huge demand for taxis nearby, so for a while, Jian Zhinian couldn't stop a single car.

Not far away, Song Liangjie was sitting in the car, watching Jian Zhinian rubbing his hands to keep warm in the wind and rain. He waited for a while before sliding the car over.

He parked the car next to Jian Zhinian and opened the window, as if he was just passing by.

"Zhi Nian, haven't you got a taxi yet? Hurry up and get in. I'll take you there."
