After the former actor was forced to open for business

Everyone's footsteps couldn't help but paused, after all, no one didn't know the famous Chinese singer, Lin Lie.

Mr. Xia was the calmest one.

Xia Jincheng just stood there at the moment, glanced back at Lin Lie who was wearing a work attire with the words "Mingchuan Private Kitchen" written on it, then looked at Xia Yu, and asked lightly: "Do you know him?"

"I know you!" The young master nodded hastily, stretched out his hand to grab Lin Lie's arm and looked towards Fan Yue, "Brother Lin Lie is a good friend of Brother Fan, and he often visits the set. Brother, don't you know?"

Regarding Lin Lie, of course Fan Yue has the most right to speak here, but he really didn't react right now.

In the past, he only knew that Lin Lie liked to cook, but he had never heard anything related to his family, especially "father".

After all, this is a taboo topic for Fan Yue, and Lin Lie has always accommodated him, never taking the initiative to talk about it.

"Oh." Xia Jincheng's face was slightly cold, and he looked at Lin Lie indifferently, "It must be Uncle Lin's son."

Lin Lie was noncommittal, just smiled and said to him: "Mr. Xia, please come inside."

Xia Jincheng naturally didn't care much about him, and walked towards the private room he usually booked. Others followed his steps, only Fan Yue stayed behind.

"Why have I never heard you mention it?" Sometimes people are like this, and they have to say something they know well and ask again.

Of course, Fan Yue didn't really want to ask Lin Lie at this moment, but couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Lie laughed twice, "Otherwise, where do you think I learned my cooking skills? This is a family inheritance, a talent."

Fan Yue also laughed, but felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Over the years, he has been enjoying Lin Lie's care as it should be, but he has never really cared about him, so he feels quite indebted.

"Don't look at me so bitterly," Lin Lie could see his emotions, frowned and smacked his arm, "Eat more later, seeing that you are so tired in the crew, you have lost a lot of weight."

Fan Yue nodded and said nothing more.

Sometimes it may be more effective not to say those words than to say them.What's more, with his relationship with Lin Lie, there is no need to say everything on the surface.

At this moment Fan Yue just walked to the door of the private room when Xia Jincheng pushed the door and came out with a cigarette in his hand.

He frowned subconsciously and asked, "Aren't you a non-smoker?"

Xia Jincheng glanced at him, then walked to the window at the end of the corridor, "It's just not addictive."

From the beginning to the end, this series of actions almost had nothing in common with the man who forcibly hugged Fan Yue in the office, indifferent and alienated.

Fan Yue couldn't help being a little dazed.

The silhouette of the man in front of him leaning half against the wall, with his head down and lighting the cigarette dangling from his mouth, was gilded by the noon sun.

Fan Yue stared at him blankly, feeling a kind of complicated emotion in his heart, a feeling that cannot be described in words.

But one thing is certain: Xia Jincheng is angry.

Xia Yu, who was sitting in the room, was talking to Cheng Lu about Lin Lie's latest album some time ago, and when he looked up and saw Fan Yue standing at the door, he greeted him: "Brother Fan, what are you doing standing there? Come in and sit down! "

If it was before, Fan Yue would definitely have passed, but today for the first time in his heart he had the idea of ​​resistance.

Fan Yue waved his hands inside, "Let's wait a while, I have something to say to Mr. Xia."

Xia Jincheng didn't expect that he would take the initiative to approach her, and now he couldn't help but froze when he brushed off the cigarette ash, and raised his eyes to meet Fan Yue's.

"Tell me something?" He kept as calm as possible.

"En." Fan Yue walked to his side without haste, the same scent of perfume on his body stimulated Xia Jincheng's sense of smell through the smell of burning tobacco.

It turned out that the man had been using the perfume he sent.

Mingchuan Private Kitchen only accepts one reservation a day, and besides the Lin family father and son who are busy in the back kitchen, there are only a few of them left in the shop.

The rest sat in the room, and they were the only ones left in the hallway now.

The winter in the capital is extremely cold, and the cold wind blows the snow that fell last night.

The window was half opened to let out the smell of smoke. Now the cold wind blows, the snow is melted by the heat, leaving only the wet wind.

"Excuse to smoke." Fan Yue's hand clamped the cigarette in Xia Jincheng's mouth without warning, without giving anyone a chance to react, he directly took it and took a puff.

Xia Jincheng's shocked gaze followed his slender fingers, and finally landed on the reddish lips.

Fan Yue has always been good at controlling his emotions. When the corners of his mouth fall down, it makes people feel cold and aura, and when the corners of his mouth rise up, he gives people a gentle and warm feeling.

But at this moment, Xia Jincheng couldn't tell what it was like, he just thought this man's lips were beautiful...

Very nice too.

White smoke was slowly exhaled from his mouth, rising and spreading little by little, covering Fan Yue's entire face in it.

His facial features are exquisite, especially in the mist, there is a sense of gender-ambiguous beauty.

In the movie that he made his official debut that year, it was precisely because of a scene where he leaned against a corner and smoked silently that his beauty was vividly displayed, and he became popular overnight.

However, after more than ten years of precipitation, this kind of beauty has not been diluted, but it has the charm of a mature man and the attraction of hormones.

"It tastes good." Fan Yue lightly hooked the corners of his lips, and handed the cigarette back to Xia Jincheng's hand, his eyebrows and eyes crooked like a knife that seduces the soul.

Boss Xia frowned, and looked down at the half-burned cigarette in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at Fan Yue, and his Adam's apple rolled restlessly.

"Aren't you a non-smoker?" He returned what the man had just asked himself.

Fan Yue raised his brows lightly, "It's just not addictive."

"laugh."

This familiar yet naive and playful dialogue made the two of them laugh at the same time.

Probably all men are like this, they don't necessarily need an apology, when the tacit understanding is reached, there is no need to say anything at all.

When Fan Yue smiled, his eyes drooped slightly, and his thick and slender eyelashes fluttered slightly like a girl's, giving him an inexplicable feeling of the tranquility of time.

Xia Jincheng's eyes fixed on that face.

In the past so many years, he has never wanted to take people as his own for a moment like now. Obviously not long ago, he still felt that it didn't matter if he stayed with him for the rest of his life like this.Anyway, he is still young, he has plenty of time to wait for Fan Yue.

But people are selfish, how can they be willing to give others what they like, even if it is only temporarily.

Fan Yue raised his eyes, and saw Xia Jincheng took a deep breath on the cigarette, and directly extinguished the fire on the window sill. The next moment, the back of his neck was supported by a big hand, and he leaned forward——

The smell of tobacco mixed with perfume rushed into his nostrils, someone gently pried his lips open, and the smoke entwined with a hint of sweetness took the opportunity to enter.

His vision was blocked by the enveloping translucent white mist, and Fan Yue could only vaguely see the man's eyebrows, which seemed to be more gentle and beautiful than before.

Plop, plop... The heartbeat drowned out all other sounds, shaking Fan Yue's eardrums.

The temperature of Xia Jincheng's palm spread from the back of his neck to his whole body, and his whole body felt numb and crisp as if he had been electrified.

Fan Yue's kiss scenes are often filmed, and he rarely borrows seats for the sake of shooting effects, but there has never been a kiss that made him so excited. ,

He subconsciously responded to the man, and involuntarily placed his hand on the man's waist, completely forgetting the restraint he had maintained for ten years...

Everyone in the room was waiting for Xia Jincheng and Fan Yue to order, and the young master, who was already hungry, couldn't wait any longer. He poked his head out and wanted to call out, "Fan—oh!"

Before he finished speaking, a big hand covered his mouth, and the light in front of his eyes was firmly blocked by a tall and straight figure.

"Go inside and wait." Lin Lie's deliberately lowered voice sounded a little more stern than usual. Before Xia Yu could react, he was pushed back into the room, and the door was also closed behind him.

"Brother Lin Lie, what's wrong...?"

Lin Lie's complexion was obviously not very good. He put the menu in his arms in front of several people, expressionless: "Mr. Xia is dealing with business, let you order first."

Fu Zhihua couldn't help frowning when he heard that, he stood up and was about to go out, "I'll help Mr. Xia."

Lin Lie stretched out his arms to stop the man, and looked at him impatiently, "You can't help with this matter. If you really want to help, order the food first, and don't delay our closing."

"Are you in a hurry to close it just after opening..." Xia Yu wrinkled his small face slightly worried, "Is Uncle Lin feeling unwell? Why don't I go and have a look!"

"..."

No matter how good-tempered Lin Lie usually is, he couldn't bear the hustle and bustle of these two people at the moment, so he pushed Xia Yu back to his seat with a dark face, "Order, don't you understand? Xia Yu."

"Listen...understood." The young master swallowed with difficulty, then lowered his head resentfully to look through the menu.

Fu Zhihua who was on the side wanted to go out again, but Lin Lie stared back at him.

But fortunately, He Qiaoqiao, who was the most online businessman in the audience, took control of the situation in time. She probably guessed why Lin Lie stopped people from going out, so she hurriedly dragged Assistant Fu and the young master together to prevent them from going out.

After several people finished ordering, Xia Jincheng and Fan Yue walked into the room.

Both of them smelled of cold wind and tobacco, and both seemed to be in a good mood.

Seeing his good brother picking up the menu and preparing to leave with a dark face, Fan Yue called him, "Lin Lie."

Lin Lie's figure paused, and he turned slightly stiffly to look at him, his expression still sullen and silent.

He could clearly see the scene at the end of the corridor just now. Although he had already had an answer in his mind, he was still somewhat unwilling.

His ten years of companionship and silent guarding by Lin Lie can't compare to Xia Jincheng who suddenly appeared, and the sense of gap is really not that good.

He thought he would try his best to destroy them, but in the end he stopped Fu Zhihua and Xia Yu who were about to go out and make trouble.

This kind of standard equipment that only supporting characters have will not be comfortable for anyone, he just hates himself for not living up to expectations.

Seeing that his complexion was so bad, Fan Yue's words circled around his mouth, and finally he only asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Lin Lie twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes met Xia Jincheng who was smiling but not a smile, and he just said, "Remember to call me if you want anything else", turned and left.

He Qiaoqiao has noticed it for so many years, but she has always maintained an attitude of only caring and not interfering with Fan Yue's emotional problems, and now she is busy trying to smooth things over.

"I just ordered a few of Xiaoyue's favorite dishes. I don't know what Mr. Xia likes. I always feel that Assistant Fu is not so reliable." She talked and brought the topic to Fu Zhihua.

Xia Jincheng smiled and said, "As long as Fan Yue likes it."

He Qiaoqiao lamented "Boss Xia is really a good boss", while observing the expressions of the two, occasionally saying something shabby to Fu Zhihua, anyway, she didn't care much about Fu Zhihua's eyes.

After going back and forth like this, the atmosphere quickly became lively.

But the young master is obviously a bit out of place.

Just now Xia Yu wanted to say something to Lin Lie, but he got up twice, but the man ignored him at all.Seeing Lin Lie's figure disappear in front of his eyes, he could only sit back in his seat resentfully, so that he was absent-minded throughout the meal.

It was already an hour later when we were full of food and drink.

Before leaving, I didn't see Lin Lie coming out to see off the guests, but I saw Mr. Lin.

Perhaps because of Lin Lie, although Fan Yue met Mr. Lin for the first time, he felt very cordial.

Both of them greeted politely, Mr. Lin's gaze stayed on Fan Yue for a moment, and then turned to look at Xia Jincheng.

"Mr. Xia has a good eye for selecting artists. Although I don't understand it as an old man, this kid can see that he has a bright future." Elder Lin spoke in a gentle tone, which sounded more cordial.

Fan Yue finally understood who Lin Lie followed suit.

"I think so too." Xia Jincheng glanced at Fan Yue with a smile, and asked Fu Zhihua to bring over the gift he had prepared a long time ago, "Uncle Lin, I've eaten here for so many years. It's a little thought, you accept it."

The old man shook his head. Although his tone was still gentle, there was also a firmness that no one could ignore and refuse, "No need. Mr. Xia is not here for free, so there is no need to prepare these."

"What's more, you are all Xiaolie's friends, I just despise my old man."

Seeing that he would not accept anything, Xia Jincheng did not insist anymore, and the group bid farewell to Elder Lin and prepared to leave.

Fan Yue and Xia Jincheng were still sitting alone in the car in front, but everyone's moods were a little different on the way back.

"Xia Yu cares about Lin Lie very much." Fan Yue said so abruptly.

In the past, he was just guessing, but seeing that Lin Lie was in a bad mood and Xia Yu was also depressed for a whole day, he strengthened his mind.

Xia Jincheng didn't look surprised, anyone who is not blind should be able to see his younger brother's appearance.

That's why he was extraordinarily calm at the moment, he only said "En" and asked, "Do you have any plans?"

"No." Fan Yue shook his head.He is not a person who likes to put people around his friends, let alone deliberately match Lin Lie with others just because he knows Lin Lie's intentions.

He respects everyone's ideas.

Xia Jincheng didn't speak any more.

For Xia Yu's half-brother, he always showed that he didn't care so much, but in fact the child's every move was within his sight.

He doesn't want all children to be forced to grow up like himself. He hopes to give Xia Yu a free life, at least before graduation.

The atmosphere in the car was stiff for a moment, the two sat side by side and no one spoke.

But in this case, there is always a need for someone to actively adjust the atmosphere.

"You only care about the two of them?" Boss Xia still didn't stop, and took the initiative to speak.

Fan Yue didn't react, and looked at him suspiciously.

"Then what about us." Xia Jincheng met his gaze, and the picture of this man alone with Lin Lie seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

Whether it was being bumped into the same room by him that day, or talking alone before eating, or frequent visits to classes as Xia Yu said...every move of Fan Yue could easily affect his emotions.

Fan Yue was slightly stunned, the scene of the kiss in the smog, and the last light kiss through a mask flashed through his mind... That numb feeling is really addictive.

Xia Jincheng is always good at teasing his sensitive nerves, causing him to lose control unconsciously, and his heart is filled by this person little by little without realizing it.

"Tch." Fan Yue suddenly laughed, "President Xia, please think again."

He said and looked at the person beside him. After all, not everyone is willing to take the risk of being with him, and can take it, just like the previous one——

The deep voice next to his ear abruptly interrupted Fan Yue's train of thought: "I thought about it ten years ago."
