Berry Muffins

When Tao Lan received the news that he had passed the interview, he was sitting in front of the computer, hesitating whether to submit more resumes. After hearing the news, he happily hugged Douzi and kissed him several times.He couldn't wait to send a message to Lu Yuqing. He stayed at home to wait for the news these days, and his whole body was a little listless.

Lu Yuqing seemed to be in a meeting, and did not reply to the message soon.After thinking about it, Tao Lan went back to the bedroom to tidy up, changed her clothes and planned to go out to the supermarket.

He sent a message to Lu Yuqing again, saying that he would buy vegetables and cook a delicious meal at night.

Tao Lan's cooking skills have improved a lot, besides, the kitchen utensils in this house are complete, and teaching according to the recipes, the chance of making mistakes is very low.

·

When Lu Yuqing came back from get off work, she went to the cake shop and bought a beautiful strawberry cake.He knew that Tao Lan liked to eat sweets, and besides, cakes didn't have to be eaten on birthdays.

Before he could enter the door, Tao Lan came over when he heard the sound of the door opening, and immediately hugged Lu Yuqing.

Fortunately, Lu Yuqing raised the cake box in his hand in time, and he touched Tao Lan's head with his free hand a little dumbfounded.

"So happy?" His voice was low and his tone was indescribably gentle.

Tao Lan stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and realized his recklessness, he carefully reached out and took the cake.

"Isn't it a little silly to buy a cake to celebrate becoming a social animal?" Tao Lan stared at the beautiful and delicate cream cake on the table, and couldn't help laughing at herself.

Lu Yuqing was inserting candles for him, and when he heard him say this, he also smiled and echoed: "Indeed. You were too nervous before."

"I don't want to stay at home all the time..." Tao Lan murmured coquettishly, "I don't feel very good."

Lu Yu smiled helplessly: "There is no one who likes to work."

Due to Tao Lan's personality, once he is too comfortable and comfortable, he will feel uneasy.This is also the result of long-term lack of self-confidence.

After the two shared the cake after eating, Lu Yuqing looked at the slightly childish home clothes Tao Lan was wearing, and suddenly proposed to take him to buy clothes.

Tao Lan didn't want to go at first, thinking that he had enough clothes and didn't need to buy new ones, but Lu Yuqing still insisted.

"Although it is an internship, after all, the clothes are the first impression." Lu Yuqing drove steadily while talking, "There is no need to be too frugal."

Tao Lan gave a light oh, and then nodded obediently.

The clothes that Lu Yuqing chose for him were not cheap, and they were carefully matched. Tao Lan felt like an idiot who didn't know anything, and only kept trying on clothes.

·

Everything seemed to be ready.The text message notified by the company was already in place. Tao Lan originally wanted to take the subway to work.Anyway, the community they live in is quite close to the subway entrance, although it may be crowded in the morning and evening peak hours.But Lu Yuqing insisted on driving him there.

"It's on the way, no trouble." Lu Yuqing said.

Since he was so persistent, Tao Lan couldn't keep being awkward.Tao Lan didn't get out of the car until downstairs of the company's office building. He said goodbye to Lu Yuqing before walking forward.

The office building is in the business district, and there are many shops around it. Tao Lan saw the nearby 24-hour convenience store at a glance, thinking that if he didn't have time to fry eggs in the morning, he could come here and buy breakfast or something.

Tao Lan got into the elevator a little cautiously. It looked like the company had rented an entire floor on the 13th floor, and the sign could be seen as soon as the elevator door opened.

After completing the procedures all morning, Tao Lan quickly got into the mood. After all, he had done this kind of work during his senior internship before, and it was not difficult to get started.

Because I am still an intern, I will learn from experienced colleagues first.

After the first day of work, Tao Lan felt that he was only busy.I don't know where there is an old saying that jobs like accounting are busy for half a year and not busy for half a year.He happened to be busy right now.

Tao Lan wanted to send a message to Lu Yuqing when he was off work, saying that he didn't need to drive over to pick him up. He was short of lunch break, and his company and Lu Yuqing's company were still a corner away from being successful.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuqing was already waiting in the parking lot near the office building.

Sometimes Lu Yuqing can't understand Tao Lan's thoughts. The two of them are already familiar and close, but Tao Lan occasionally feels embarrassed because of some small details.

This is also the reason why he insisted on sending Tao Lan, there is no trouble or no trouble, just because he wants to do it.

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

Life seems to have settled down so smoothly.

Tao Lan's work performance is very good, he is diligent in doing things, willing to study hard, and most importantly, he is also earnestly researching.After the probationary period passed, the contract was signed soon, and he became a bit of a hard-working assistant accountant.

Occasionally he will work overtime, but every time Lu Yuqing will come to pick him up.It was only at this time that Tao Lan realized that after Lu Yuqing returned to his company, he was no longer the quasi-social animal who stayed up late and worked overtime for his hobbies.

Sometimes he would lament in his heart the gap between himself and Lu Yuqing.

After Tao Lan's job stabilized, things about Lu's mother's previously proposed engagement began to be slowly mentioned by everyone.

Lu Yuqing naturally respects Tao Lan's thoughts, it doesn't matter if Tao Lan doesn't want to be in such a hurry, don't pay too much attention to her mother's urging.

But after working, Tao Lan also gradually changed his original thinking.

Going from boyfriend to fiance seems to be fine too.

·

Although an engagement is not a marriage, the preparations are somewhat cumbersome and troublesome, but Mother Lu seems to be very happy and active in handling this matter for her son.

Sometimes looking at the calendar, Tao Lan also feels that life has been too gentle to him these years.

Those childhood pains that were once frightening seemed to fade away a little bit.

Until one time Tao Lan was working overtime as usual, but received a message from someone he hadn't seen for a long time.

Since Zhou Linchuan made his debut in Country K, it seemed that none of the previous contact methods could reach him.I don't know if it is required by the company.

Unexpectedly, Tao Lan sent a message to his WeChat account that hadn't had any activity for a long time.

Zhou Linchuan: 【Let's get together. 】

With such an endless sentence, Tao Lan seemed to be stunned by the sender, but soon received the next message.

Zhou Linchuan: [I have returned to China, and I will always be in China from now on. 】

Tao Lan didn't understand why, but he still replied: [Okay. 】

Zhou Linchuan sent him the time and place again, it happened to be the weekend, and the place he chose was a relatively high-end club.

It was belatedly that he realized that he was no longer in City S, and hastily messaged Zhou Linchuan again.

Tao Lan: [Zhou Linchuan, I'm sorry, I don't work in S city now, so it might not be convenient for weekend gatherings. 】

Zhou Linchuan's dialog box changed to typing again, and soon another message came.

Zhou Linchuan: [I know you are working in F city now, I asked Ye Nan about it.I'll help you book a plane ticket. 】

Tao Lan was a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly replied: 【No, I can order it myself. 】

In fact, the short-distance flight from City F to City S arrived in two hours, even if it was a one-day round trip, it was still in time. Tao Lan thought about how he still had some free time on weekends, so he agreed to the party invitation.

·

After working overtime, Tao Lan also searched Zhou Linchuan's stage name out of curiosity, and then a lot of his latest news popped up.It turned out that Zhou Linchuan seemed to have terminated the contract with the original company, and also quit the group, and signed a new big company after returning, and it seems that they have developed in China in the future.

Tao Lan thought for a while and called the monitor again.Ye Nan picked up the phone very quickly, it looked like she was playing a game when she was still awake at this point.

"Did Lao Zhou ask you out?" Ye Nan's voice was still as lively as ever, "He also called me and Mo Mo, but he seems to have deleted the contact information of old classmates who are not very familiar, saying that it was requested by the company .”

"Hahaha the three of us are quite special." Ye Nan laughed heartily, and finally told Tao Lan, "However, he is a little annoyed by the media's attention recently, Tao Lan, be careful when you come here, be careful of the paparazzi of."

Tao Lan was still a little confused, so he just agreed blindly: "Okay... I will pay attention, thank you."

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

"Zhou Linchuan?" After listening to Tao Lan's dinner party, Lu Yuqing repeated the name with some doubts, "Ah, is that your old classmate who went to become a star?"

Tao Lan nodded, then smiled and said, "You still remember him."

"Well, he is quite affectionate. He is very popular in hot searches. I didn't expect to remember his old classmates." Lu Yuqing took out his mobile phone and browsed Weibo casually, and said, "It's still you old friends. Friends, your monitor and sports committee?"

Tao Lan hummed lightly, and continued, "Yes. Zhou Linchuan doesn't have many friends..."

Tao Lan carefully recalled his time in high school again, and felt that Zhou Linchuan had a normal relationship with the rest of the class, except for eating and finishing get out of class with Ye Nan silently.

For me, it might be because I have always been at the same table.

"Then I'll drive you to the airport then." Lu Yuqing thought for a while and continued, "I just have to go and see the layout of the hotel where we got engaged."

Tao Lan nodded obediently, expressing that she had no objection.

·

The plane ticket was booked for a round trip on the same day, and I was a little bit rushed to go to the airport in the morning and come back in the evening, but the return ticket was booked late, and the whole day was enough time for old friends to get together.

When choosing clothes, Tao Lan recalled Ye Nan's advice in his mind, and after thinking about it, he chose a casual sportswear, black.

Seeing him piercing like this, Lu Yuqing couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly, but she didn't stop her.Even after receiving the baptism of society, Tao Lan always has a youthful air that cannot be dissipated, very pure.

Tao Lan quickly boarded the plane with her bag on her back and her ID.

·

Returning to the long-lost S City, Tao Lan actually felt a little strange, obviously he hadn't been away for too long.

He turned on his phone and used the X-German map to locate the club that Zhou Linchuan had decided on, and then called a car.

After driving all the way to the door, Tao Lan got out of the car and walked straight forward. After telling the waiter the room number of the box was confirmed twice, someone took him there.

After opening the door and entering, I found a strange man sitting in the living room. He was handsome and smiled very politely. Only after he introduced himself did he realize that he was Zhou Linchuan's current assistant.

Tao Lan also smiled and nodded with him before walking inside.

The silence arrived, but Ye Nan hadn't arrived yet.

It seems that everyone is not the same as before.Zhou Linchuan became more indifferent and didn't like to laugh, and instead of being reckless, he became more mature.

After Tao Lan smiled with him, he was caught by the chatty silence and chatted.

It turns out that Shen Mo has now been promoted from a former sports committee member to a physical education teacher at his alma mater.It was not too far from his university major, so he couldn't hold back, and complained to Tao Lan that the current students are difficult to manage, and they are not at all like them at that time.

Tao Lan rubbed his eyes, and retorted in a low voice: "But we also have very naughty classmates in high school."

He silently thought about it for a while, and he didn't know whose face he recalled in his mind, and finally said: "Indeed."

·

The two chatted for a while before Ye Nan arrived, and Zhou Linchuan didn't talk to each other, and the whole person was a little silent.

Tao Lan looked at him with some doubts, as if he didn't understand the reason for his bad mood.But then I remembered what Ye Nan said to himself, that Zhou Linchuan seemed to be a little bit burnt out recently because of the termination of the contract, so it was not impossible to understand why he was in a bad mood.

Ye Nan finally arrived. After he arrived, the atmosphere was obviously more lively, and it finally felt a bit lively like an old school reunion.

Zhou Linchuan's frowning brows gradually relaxed. After all, he couldn't justify his bad face in the game he called.

·

Taking advantage of the atmosphere, Tao Lan smiled and mentioned that he was getting engaged.

The other three looked both surprised and not surprised, Zhou Linchuan asked firmly, "Is it Lu Yuqing?"

Tao Lan also nodded with a smile.

Zhou Linchuan also bent the corners of his lips, and said with a light smile, "Congratulations."

Ye Nan was a little surprised. Seeing Zhou Linchuan's appearance, he seemed to be completely let go. It seems that he must have met someone or encountered something abroad in the past few years.

"Then will you come?" Tao Lan blinked and extended an invitation to the three of them.

Ye Nan: "Of course no problem."

Silence: "Okay."

Zhou Linchuan: "I will arrange the time."

Tao Lan glanced at Zhou Linchuan hesitantly, and asked, "Would it be inconvenient for you?"

Zhou Linchuan looked very indifferent: "I'm not popular, so it doesn't matter."

Ye Nan: "..."

silence:"……"

Tao Lan: "You are humble."
