Berry Muffins

39

During the summer vacation, a few buddies who were close to Zhou Linchuan held a farewell party for him, among them were Ye Nan and Shen Mo, and naturally Tao Lan was also invited.

To be honest, Tao Lan couldn't figure out what gift he should give. Coincidentally, he had just finished his part-time job that day, so he suddenly asked Han Xu to make a beautiful cake, which happened to be brought to Zhou Linchuan at night.

Because he was afraid that the cake would be deformed by squeezing the subway, Tao Lan even spent money to call Didi, which can be said to be a huge sum of money.

The farewell party was held in a well-decorated clubhouse. Tao Lan was a little timid to go in after arriving at the door. Fortunately, he met Ye Nan who rushed over at the door, and went in with him.

Ye Nan looked at the cake in Tao Lan's hand and couldn't help asking: "Ah, is this the cake from the European bakery where you work part-time? The boss is very famous for making it."

Tao Lan smiled with his eyes bent, nodded and said, "Well, but Brother Han gave me the employee price, so it's okay."

After pushing away the people in the box, Tao Lan realized that there were actually not many people inside, and he knew most of them. He lifted the cake in his hand to the table.

"Although it's not your birthday today, I still want to give you a taste... the cake made by our shop manager himself. It's delicious." Tao Lan looked at Zhou Linchuan with a smile.

"Thank you." Zhou Linchuan lowered his eyes slightly, and carefully untied the strap on the top of the cake box, and at the same time said softly, "You can send it as a gift."

"Huh?" Tao Lan didn't hear what he said, and looked at him with some doubts.

Ye Nan came over and grabbed Tao Lan's shoulders and pulled him onto the sofa. Although there were popular movies on the huge LCD screen, everyone in the private room didn't seem to be interested in watching them.

There were some afternoon tea snacks on the table, as well as the fried chicken they ordered, which was still steaming.

Ye Nan pulled Tao Lan over to eat fried chicken, and stopped Shen Mo's behavior of eating alone like a tiger's mouth.

-------------------------------------

The cake Tao Lan sent didn't come with candles or anything like that, it was just a gift.Zhou Linchuan shared a piece with almost everyone.

Zhou Linchuan's favorite mango flavor was selected for the fruit and flavor, and the cream is light and sweet, and it is not greasy after eating.

Tao Lan also ate a lot of fried chicken, he really came here hungry.

As the protagonist of the farewell party, Zhou Linchuan was in a calm mood, neither very happy nor unhappy, which made it more and more incomprehensible.

Ye Nan couldn't help but teased him: "K country's entertainment industry is very famous, Lao Zhou, will you still be an idol or something after you go there?"

"Zhou Linchuan is going to learn music, okay?" Shen Mo gave Ye Nan a noble look and despised his ignorance, and snatched the last chicken leg from the table, "But if Brother Zhou becomes popular in the future, don't forget Brothers, remember to give me a few more signed photos, autographed posters, etc., and I will sell them at a high price."

Ye Nan couldn't help but despise his behavior: "Shameless."

Tao Lan also laughed, and even imagined the possibility of silence what he said just now. If Zhou Linchuan was an idol in K country, he should also take the route of the iceberg with a paralyzed face. After all, this person is not very fond of laughing. of.

When the show was about to end, some people were eating and some were singing, but Zhou Linchuan suddenly spoke to Tao Lan through the dim light in the box.

His voice was a little soft, so Tao Lan couldn't hear it clearly.

"...Anyway, I have no regrets."

There was no beginning or end, Tao Lan only heard this sentence, but Zhou Linchuan smiled at him, out of politeness, Tao Lan returned his smile.

-------------------------------------

Not long after the summer vacation started, Zhou Linchuan went abroad, while Tao Lan himself started a diligent summer job life.

What could be happier than making money and saving money.

Tao Lan's Xiaocai fan smiled.

On the contrary, Lu Yuqing encountered a bottleneck unexpectedly.

Even if you do what you like with enthusiasm, sometimes you will feel anxious because of inexplicable overtime and procrastination.

Or maybe making money and doing what you love is a paradox.

Tao Lan also noticed Lu Yuqing's sullenness very carefully. Although he still had that gentle shell, Tao Lan who knew his past knew that Lu Yuqing was not such a simple and gentle man.

·

"Do you want to take a break?" Tao Lan slowly hugged Lu Yuqing's waist, and put his cheek on his shoulder, and said softly, "If you are not happy with what you are doing, don't force it too much."

"It's okay." Lu Yuqing pressed the back of Tao Lan's hand, and the slightly frowning brows slowly eased, "It's just that I have been working a lot of overtime recently, which is a bit annoying."

"Then why don't we go on a trip?" Tao Lan blinked, feeling that he had thought of a good suggestion, "You haven't taken this year's vacation yet."

Lu Yuqing smiled helplessly, turned around and nodded Tao Lan's forehead: "You remember better than me."

Tao Lan smiled shyly, of course he remembered clearly, Lu Yuqing didn't have much vacation time, so he had to think hard about where he should go to play.

-------------------------------------

Lu Yuqing's leave application was quickly approved.

He and Tao Lan did not choose to pay the IQ tax at an Internet celebrity attraction, but instead decided to go to a small county town nearby to rest and play casually.

There are many mountains and rivers here, and the houses in some residential areas are scattered at different heights. You think it is the ground, but when you look down, there are tall houses.

It's just that there may be a lot of lakes here, many restaurants serve all kinds of fish, but Tao Lan doesn't like fish very much, and the takeaway here is really unpalatable.

But there are also advantages, such as the unique leisure and tranquility of the town, the quiet surroundings, and the service of the hotel is not bad.

It can be regarded as helping Lu Yuqing adjust the fatigue caused by work.

·

"Brother Yuqing, have you ever thought about going back to City F?" Tao Lan suddenly mentioned this matter after taking a bath, with a hesitant voice, "Don't your parents want you to go back?"

"And you don't have to be as tired working there as you are now."

Lu Yuqing's current job is always overtime, and he doesn't have enough rest, and there are very light dark circles under his eyes.

"Do you want me to go back?" Lu Yuqing patted his head and asked casually, "That way we will be far apart."

Tao Lan pursed his lips aggrievedly. In fact, he didn't want to be separated from Lu Yuqing, especially the long-distance relationship is really annoying...

"Work is like this, it's hard work and involuntary." Lu Yuqing lowered his head and kissed Tao Lan's lips again, and said softly, "But I'm considering changing jobs, but I'm still in S City, don't Worry."

Tao Lan blinked his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "But wouldn't it be a bad idea to have a naked resignation?"

"Of course I will make a decision only when I am sure. Don't worry."

It was only at this time that Tao Lan relaxed his nervous heart, with a sweet smile on his lips and bright eyes.

-------------------------------------

Before the end of the summer vacation, Lu Yuqing changed to a new job. According to him, he went to the game company of his senior. It is not a big one, but there is a mobile game under him that does a good job, and the player's krypton gold is not bad.

More importantly, the company's commute to and from get off work is quite punctual, so I can be a salted fish without working overtime.

After Tao Lan went up, he became a senior in the junior year, because they started school earlier, and in the past they could still see freshman military training.

Standing for such a long time under such a big sun is really hard work, and Tao Lan couldn't help recalling his hard-fought freshman military training life.

Really uncomfortable.

·

After earning enough credits from the club, he quit the film club and spent more time in the library instead.Although such a university life does not seem to be colorful enough, it is good enough to be fulfilled.

For the scholarship, he must maintain a high grade point. Although many teachers will give detailed key points, some professors don’t like to give the scope directly. Anyway, it’s the whole book, you can read it yourself.

At this time, those who are cramming temporarily are not as good as those who listen to the lectures seriously on weekdays.

As for that game, Tao Lan didn't have much time on it, and Lu Yuqing followed him to A drop.The account is not for sale, but I have left a thought in the game anyway, maybe someday I will come back to see my former relatives and friends when I am free.

Every game has an inevitable ending.

-------------------------------------

Time passed quickly, obviously every day was going through slowly, but the junior year passed like flowing water.

The studio of Lu Yuqing and his senior is also larger than before, and it is no longer that pitiful little workshop.

The lives of the two are getting better peacefully, and the relationship between the two is like flowing water, permeating each other in a steady stream.

Tao Lan is also preparing for an internship, and the direction of his internship is much different from that of Lu Yuqing.Generally speaking, it is a job in finance, but Tao Lan has already passed the accounting certificate and the junior exam, so maybe he can try to do an internship in a larger accounting firm.

Tao Lan also submitted many resumes like her classmates did, but she didn't expect to receive a response soon.

It was an accounting firm that offered him an olive branch. Although he is only an intern now, he realized that besides doing chores, he had to work overtime and keep counting to spend his hard-working internship career.

The thought of setting a thesis topic in his senior year gave him a headache.

·

Tao Lan finally understood why so many people didn't want to work overtime.

When I was studying, I always thought about what would happen if I worked and made money in the future, especially when I was in the third year of high school, I wished I would never study again, otherwise there would not be so many students who would choose to tear up the books and test papers after the college entrance examination.

Of course, Tao Lan didn't have this habit. He always packed up unused textbooks and test papers and took them home.

However, those in junior high school were secretly sold by my uncle to collect scraps. A box of books only cost a little money, but my uncle still sold them without his consent.Including the notebooks that Tao Lan made with great care, the relatives at his uncle's house even vaguely mentioned that they hoped that Tao Lan could lend them to his children.

It's just that no one thought that my uncle agreed on the surface, but behind his back he had another face.

·

Tao Lan thinks it's okay to work overtime now, maybe it's because young people have more energy, but they get hungry easily.Colleagues also have the habit of hoarding snacks, mostly to satisfy their hunger during overtime work.

There is also hot water and a microwave oven in the tea room, and it is very convenient to make a noodle to heat up a sandwich once in a while.

Tao Lan always packs some late-night snacks in his backpack, after all, ordering takeout is very expensive, if you buy good things in convenience stores and bring them over, you can save a lot.

Of course, if a colleague invites him to order a milk tea afternoon tea, he will not be out of gregarious and not participate.I'm just thinking about choosing a cup that's cheaper.

Once you step into social life, it is inevitable that people's sophistication will be a headache.

After the official internship, Han Xu's part-time job Tao Lan can only work on weekends. Generally, their office does not work on weekends.

As for overtime at other times, that's another story.

·

City S is very developed, and the basic salary is not low. Although the interns only have a small salary, they save some money and work part-time, and the money they save is far more than before.

Although Lu Yuqing said that his money is Tao Lan's money, and Tao Lan can spend it however he wants, but Tao Lan still likes to save money by himself, and has a sense of happiness like a little hamster hoarding things.

Seeing that the balance of the bank card has increased a little bit, I will feel a little satisfied in my heart.
