Jiang Xinrou sat opposite the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant, holding a glass of iced cocoa in her hand, and after looking around to no avail, she inserted a straw and took a sip.

For some time last year, she and Ji Shizhou often came to this restaurant.

Fang Ji mistakenly thought that the two of them were together, and specially prepared a table of excessive dishes for them, showing his selfishness at a glance.

The way he treats a person well is too simple and too Chicheng, which is one of the reasons why Jiang Xinrou gave up.

No other person or thing can get in between these two people, Fang Ji always puts Ji Shizhou first, and no one else even thinks about that position, and can't even touch it.

The iced cocoa permeates the mouth, leaving a bitter taste in the end.

Jiang Xinrou raised her eyes again, and there was a reflection of a person on the window glass, tall and broad shoulders, with a short beard, mature and handsome.

Chi Jie was 12 years older than her. Hearing her confession for the first time, he refused without even thinking about it. The reason was: "You are still a child."

Jiang Xinrou didn't give up, and reached an agreement with Ji Shizhou. The two of them went in and out of the restaurant together, but Chi Jie saw through it the first time.

The man smiled and asked her to "stop making trouble", and his deep and smiling voice hit her heart again.

God knows that she didn't notice Chi Jie at all at first, but she just heard that Fang Ji was working here, so she couldn't help but want to take a look at him.

It's not the pretentious idea of ​​seeing her youth and her first love that died without a problem, but simply wants to see if Fang Ji is doing well.

She was very happy for him that he could come out of that small county town, and at the same time, she also understood that only Ji Shizhou could do this, only Ji Shizhou could make him willingly walk out of that prison and get rid of that suffocating family.

That year when she was a freshman, she saw that Fang Ji had cut his hair, and the staff uniforms were so nicely dressed, and they were neatly and cleanly fitted on him.Just a few seconds of watching, she sat in the dining room and burst into tears.

She is a crush, a bystander, an existence that is so close and yet so far away from Fang Ji.

Fang Ji didn't even know her name, and perhaps didn't remember her appearance.

Her eyes were blurred, and suddenly there was a smear of white mottled by tears, and someone handed a tissue to her.

"What? Have you taken a fancy to our employees?" The man sat on a chair at the table next to her, "Do you want his phone number? I know."

Jiang Xinrou wiped away her tears, before seeing the man's face clearly, she held the tissue tightly in her hand, "I don't need your kindness."

Chi Jie laughed, nodded and got up and said, "Okay, then don't cry, how about giving you a cup of cocoa? You children should like it."

Jiang Xinrou was startled to realize that this person might be the store manager. She was rude just now, but she wanted to make amends, but she could only say to the man's back: "No need..."

It turned out that the cup of cocoa she drank was very sweet, and the dishes in this restaurant were also delicious.

That was Jiang Xinrou's first and last visit during her freshman year.

Later, when he was a sophomore, Guan Yang coaxed Ji Shizhou to treat him to dinner, and Ji Shizhou brought them to this restaurant.

A group of students opened a private room, and Fang Ji was in charge of serving their table.

During the dinner, Guan Yang caught Ji Shizhou to speak again, saying that he was lying, even though he was a mixed race and refused to admit it.

Guan Yang's smug expression seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, "Isn't your great-grandmother Russian?"

Someone poked him and reminded him in a low voice, "Ji Shizhou is not."

Guan Yang was still stupid, "Why not?"

Ji Shizhou didn't have a circle and didn't answer Guan Yang's question, because Fang Ji smashed the spare tableware on the ground.

He and Ji Shizhou looked at each other, blinked and said without guilt, "I'm sorry."

Ji Shizhou asked him, "Are you really sorry?"

Fang Ji's expression clearly said that he was wrong, but he didn't admit it.

He did it on purpose.

In order not to let this topic continue.

But he still repeated: "I'm sorry." After saying this, his eyes crossed Guan Yang, not so kind, and a little provocative.

Ji Shizhou called out to him, "Fang Ji."

Fang Ji immediately looked back, his eyes were docile again, and his tone was flattering: "I'll clean it right away, Xiao Zhou..."

In the eyes of others, this is proper dog licking, but Jiang Xinrou knows it is not the same thing.

Fang Ji is not a licking dog.

He is clearly so good and so obedient.

Halfway through the meal, Chi Jie came to look for Ji Shizhou, and Jiang Xinrou was sitting directly opposite the door.The two met face to face, Chi Jie wanted to put his hand on Ji Shizhou's shoulder, but hesitated again: "Did you jump out again, kid?"

"No." Ji Shizhou refused his arm, and walked out of the box with Chi Jie.

As soon as Ji Shizhou went out, someone asked Guan Yang, "Have you lost your mind?" Several people echoed in succession.

After Guan Yang quit, someone explained: "Ji Shizhou's mother wasn't born to Shi's family at all. Are you asking a question that a human being can ask?"

Shi Qiong was adopted into Shi's family.

She has no blood relationship with Shi's family, so Ji Shizhou naturally wouldn't have one either.

Guan Yang was stunned for a few seconds before wiping off the sweat from his brow, "Where would I know...Is it true? It's absolutely true?"

When Ji Shizhou came back, Fang Ji also came in, holding a cup of cocoa in his hand, walked around a large table of people, and put the cup of drink in front of Jiang Xinrou.

Jiang Xinrou looked at Ji Shizhou subconsciously, and Ji Shizhou was also looking at her, with an indifferent expression but precise gaze.

Obviously caring but pretending not to care.

It seemed a bit funny to Jiang Xinrou, until Fang Ji whispered in her ear: "The boss asked me to send it."

Jiang Xinrou didn't care that her former crush was so close to her, and Ji Shizhou's face darkened visibly, she was full of thoughts—who is their boss?

It wasn't until Fang Ji left that she realized it was Chi Jie.

She was a little funny, and drank the cup of cocoa, it was still so sweet and tasted like chocolate.

Chi Jie still remembered her, so what?To create a chance for her to talk to Fang Ji at close range?

But she had already given up.

Everything that happened in Li County made her desperate to escape, and she managed to escape, which was her personal success.

She was a bystander of that tragedy, a listener of gossip, and an existence without a character name in past stories.

Unlike other people present, they misunderstood the appearance, drew conclusions, and put a rigid label on the relationship between two people.

Jiang Xinrou had actually seen the relationship between Fang Ji and Ji Shizhou, and seen Ji Shizhou not smiling or pretending to be kind.In other words, he only has Fang Ji's willfulness, only Fang Ji speaks the truth, only Fang Ji has so many emotions towards Fang Ji, and only Fang Ji can make him give in and compromise again and again...

She has witnessed it, so she can't be reconciled, and she can't be complacent.

The reason for liking Chi Jie is unknown.

It couldn't be because he remembered him and gave him a cup of cocoa.

But when Jiang Xinrou noticed something, what impressed her most was that he remembered herself, and he gave her a cup of cocoa.

It was Saturday, a fine day, and she had a glass of iced cocoa, bitterer than usual.

Chi Jie came over and asked her, "What do you think, I tuned it myself."

Jiang Xinrou laughed, the sun fell on her long black hair, so dazzling, so youthful, full of vitality.

"Not very tasty."

##

The sky at night was dark purple wine, wine bottles were all over the coffee table, and a few bottles fell on the floor, being ridden and played by puppies.

Fang Ji's eyes were foggy, and he opened them wide with all his might, "Xiao Zhou, you're drunk."

Ji Shizhou pulled the puppy aside, picked up the wine bottles one by one, and said in a calm and steady voice, "I'm not drunk, but you are."

Fang Ji waved his hand and leaned against the edge of the sofa, "Me neither."

"Really." Ji Shizhou put the last wine bottle on the coffee table, and raised his arm, "Can you still stand up by yourself?"

Fang Ji slowed down, handed the other hand to Ji Shizhou, stood up with both legs, leaned on Ji Shizhou, and muttered: "You drank too much today."

"I know." Ji Shizhou moved him to the bedroom.

"Xiao Zhou." Fang Ji suddenly held his face in his hands, and stared at Ji Shizhou with those beautiful eyes that were misty, "Don't be sad."

"...I'm not sad."

Ji Shizhou's voice was very soft and deep, "It's too late for me to be happy."

Fang Ji couldn't understand, tilted his head, and knocked his chin on the other's shoulder, even his lips.

He was dazed, unable to figure out how Ji Shizhou could hold so much alcohol today, he drank so much wine, only two bottles less than him, and yet he wasn't drunk.

He drank too much, he was indeed drunk, because Ji Shizhou seemed in a bad mood, and the wine glass was filled up again and again. Xiao Zhou said that he had met Shi Yi, and Fang Ji knew that he was the last thing he wanted to see at Shi's house. The person in question is this nominal uncle.

Fang Ji didn't want to see him sad but had nowhere to vent, so he could only drink with him, and felt that Ji Shizhou drank too much, so he secretly poured the wine into his glass.

Xiao Zhou never found out.

It seemed really sad.

And now their posture is so suitable for hugging, Fang Ji took the initiative to put his hands around Ji Shizhou's waist, still thinking in his heart, they can't kiss, but hugging is fine.

He wanted to hug Xiao Zhou.

In the end, Ji Shizhou broke his hand away and said to him, "Fang Ji, take off your clothes."

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

Fang Ji: Xiao Zhou must be very sad, hug Xiao Zhou

Day: I am too happy
