Goldberg Variations

"That's right, Pei Wen said he would treat you to dinner, you can choose the seat." Gu Kai laughed.

"This……"

"Take it as an invitation between friends." Pei Wen said, "Is that okay?"

Shi Yangming couldn't refuse Pei Wen's expectant eyes: "If you say that, then I'm not welcome. Let's go eat barbecue? How about?"

Shi Yangming is a pure carnivore, he cannot live without meat.

For him, besides hot pot, the most delicious thing is barbecue.

Pei Wen: "Okay."

The three of them went to the barbecue restaurant that Shi Yangming went to most often. It was not far from Shi Yangming's house, and the price was not too expensive.

Pei Wen gave the menu to Shi Yangming to order. Shi Yangming ordered a lot of beef, mutton, and pork belly, and put them on the table one after another.

There is a small oven in the middle of the dining table, with a charcoal fire underneath and a grill above. The meat is raw and needs to be grilled by yourself.

Eating while grilling is the fun of eating barbecue, and the dipping sauce needs to be adjusted by yourself.

Shi Yangming came back with a small plate of dipping sauce, saw that the two were still sitting where they were, and said, "You two, go and adjust the seasoning, what are you doing sitting around, go! Otherwise, I will eat all the meat by myself later." Eat it up!"

Gu Kai patted Pei Wen's arm: "Go together?"

"Ah."

"You don't usually eat barbecue, do you?" Gu Kai asked while adjusting the seasoning.

"Well, I seldom eat."

Gu Kai: "Can I get used to it?"

"It's okay." Pei Wen said, "Today I invite Yangming to dinner, as long as he eats happily."

When he returned to his seat, Shi Yangming had already filled the grill with meat.

The bright red meat is next to each other, making a sizzling sound under the high temperature of the charcoal fire. The oil is roasted until it drips down, and the burnt aroma is tangy, which makes the index finger move.

Shi Yangming's eyes sparkled, and he sniffed exaggeratedly: "I'm going to eat until you two come back."

"Eat raw meat? You shouldn't be in such a rush, right?" Gu Kai teased.

"As for." Shi Yangming rolled up his sleeves, "I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time."

"Today, I will show you my ability to barbecue. My grandfather once set up a roadside stall and sold kebabs, and I helped him."

"The meat I roasted is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It's so delicious that you can swallow your tongues."

Gu Kai laughed out loud: "Okay, then I'll wait and see."

Shi Yangming's barbecue technique is just as he said, really good.

The three of them chatted and ate, Shi Yangming ate while grilling meat, he could also flirt with the two of them, complain about his unscrupulous boss, and Gu Kai occasionally answered him a few times.

Gu Kai and Shi Yangming ate very enthusiastically, but Pei Wen hardly ate much.

Pei Wen's taste was also as Gu Kai expected, he didn't seem to have a cold for barbecue, and only took a few mouthfuls slowly.

Seeing Gu Kai, he called the waiter and ordered some light snacks, plus some fruit salad, dessert and so on.

These suit Pei Wen's taste, but Shi Yangming started to yell: "What fruit salad are you eating at the barbecue shop? Come on, eat meat!"

With that said, he picked up a piece of freshly roasted pork belly for Pei Wen.

Pei Wen looked at the piece of meat in the bowl, looking a bit embarrassed. He didn't want to eat it, and it was hard to refuse it, let alone give it back to Shi Yangming.

Gu Kai kicked Shi Yangming under the table: "You think he's just like you, but he's an actor, he has to keep fit and control his weight, he won't look good on camera if he's fat."

"That's true..." Shi Yangming didn't hold back at all, he put the piece of meat back and waved it in front of Pei Wen's eyes, "Oh, that's such a pity, such a delicious barbecue is right in front of us None of them can be eaten."

Pei Wen glanced at Gu Kai gratefully.

"Here, look, does it smell good?"

"It's a pity you can't eat it, hehe."

Pei Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pointed to the fruit salad: "I can just eat this."

Shi Yangming devoured the meat.

"Maybe this is the price of beauty. If I have to eat grass every day to be an actor, then I would rather resign."

Pei Wen couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Then are you interested in watching my performance?"

Gu Kai looked at Pei Wen upon hearing this, but Pei Wen didn't notice.

Shi Yangming: "Is it possible?"

Pei Wen: "Of course, if you want."

"Think about it," Shi Yangming said, "I must think about it."

"I wanted to see you when I knew you were a drama actor! When and where are you?"

Pei Wen said: "The time and place haven't been decided yet. I haven't returned to the crew since I was discharged from the hospital. They went out to perform recently. When they come back in two days, I'll ask. I'll give you a ticket when the time comes. You must come."

"Okay, okay, definitely go!" Shi Yangming's cheeks were bulging, his mouth was full of oil, "I must go to your performance, let's see what kind of amazing person I rescued!"

"In the future, I can brag to my colleagues that I have a friend who is an actor!"

Pei Wen couldn't help laughing.

"However, since you are such a powerful actor, there is nothing else you can't think about. Why..."

Shi Yangming brought up this topic again.

Pei Wen's heart tightened again.

"Your flesh seems to be mushy," Gu Kai interrupted Shi Yangming for the second time, "Look at it."

"Damn! My meat!"

As expected, Shi Yangming smelled burnt, so he didn't bother to speak, and lowered his head to turn the meat on the grill.

Pei Wen breathed a sigh of relief again.

After eating a meal for two hours, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them came out of the barbecue shop after drinking and eating.

Both Shi Yangming and Pei Wen drank a little wine, Shi Yangming drank the most, and Gu Kai didn't drink a sip because he had to drive.

After sending the drunken Shi Yangming home, Gu Kai sent Pei Wen home again.

On the way, he reminded Pei Wen to send Shi Yangming a message, telling him that there was a red envelope in the gift box with the keyboard.

Pei Wen thought about how to thank Shi Yangming for a long time, and finally decided that giving money would be the most practical.But he was also worried that Shi Yangming would not accept it, so Gu Kai suggested that he secretly put a red envelope in a gift box and tell him when he left Shi Yangming's house, so that he would not have to worry about Shi Yangming not accepting it.

After sending the message, in order to avoid Shi Yangming's refusal, Pei Wen put away the phone directly, and smiled at Gu Kai: "It's better to do it this way."

Gu Kai said: "In this way, even if he doesn't want to accept it, he's too embarrassed to return it."

Pei Wen smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Pei Wen drank a little wine, not much, but it was easy to get on his face when he drank, and his face would turn red after drinking just a little.The blush on his face hadn't subsided at this moment, and the blush stood out against his fair complexion.

Gu Kai glanced at Pei Wen in the rearview mirror, and said unexpectedly:

"I thought you only invited me to your live show, though."

"Huh?" Pei Wen didn't react.

"If you want to thank me for taking care of you in the hospital, there is no need."

Pei Wen: "I..."

"Compared to the same thanks as Shi Yangming, I hope you invite me alone." Gu Kai looked into Pei Wen's eyes and said.
