desire to be loved

Chapter 22: Japanese Cuisine

After getting into Du Chen's SUV, Roy immediately made a call to the restaurant to see if the waiter had reserved a seat for him. After finishing the call, he directed Du Chen to a Japanese restaurant near Yangmingshan District. Restaurant - Hele Temple.

Hele Nunnery was newly opened in the past three years. It covers an area of ​​about [-] square meters. The overall space planning is mainly based on Japanese garden landscaping design. The interior decoration is all made of solid wood. The dining seats are divided into general There are nine seating areas, small boxes, and a total of nine small boxes, which need to be reserved in advance. Each box is separated by semi-transparent glass and Japanese-style grilles. The space is hidden, but the line of sight is not closed. You can see it from the glass window Enjoy the elegant garden view.

Waiting at the counter for a while, the waiter in plain Japanese kimono led them to a small box named Jufang.

The two of them sat down facing each other, and ordered a different set meal, and ordered a jug of sake.

From driving all the way to entering the restaurant, Du Chen's eyes were filled with smiles, "I thought we would never meet again after eating that day, but I didn't expect to meet you on the street."

At that time, Roy did not leave any contact information. He asked Zhenxi to help him find out the phone number of Luo Jie, but there was no further information.God let them meet by chance on the road today, which means that the fate between him and Roy is not broken.

"I was also surprised to meet you in this way, but what surprised me even more was how did you cut your hair? Did something happen?" Roy looked at his hair that was scratched like a hedgehog, concerned asked.

He thought that it took Du Chen at least two or three years to grow that long hair, and he cut it down to less than seven centimeters. It must be because of some shock in his heart that he made this decision.

Seeing Roy's thoughts, Du Chen explained with a smile: "At the beginning, I grew my hair long to urge myself to abide by the agreement with my friends. Now that the agreement has been fulfilled, I cut it off."

"It turned out that the post was kept to keep the agreement, so can you tell me about the agreement between you?" Roy suddenly became interested in his affairs.

Du Chen smiled, "Of course." Everyone around him knew the story behind that long hair, and now it doesn't matter if one more person knows.

"That happened four years ago. In the winter of that year, my friends and I went to Yushan to take pictures of the mountain scenery. Because we didn't have time to go down the mountain, the two of us were trapped in the heavy snow. At that time, there was not much dry food and water left. We had no choice but to die. Holding on, while waiting for the rescue, we made a promise that if we can escape here smoothly, we must let our works shine and occupy a place in the photography world. Wen died unfortunately for too long; in order to urge myself to fulfill this promise, I started to grow my hair, and made a vow not to cut it if I failed.”

After hearing his story, Roy was moved, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" In his cognition, it is usually women who keep their hair to fulfill a promise.

Roy's slightly frowning expression and words full of surprises made Du Chen suddenly laugh, "What kind of person am I?"

"A man who values ​​love and righteousness." Roy gave him an appreciative look.

"Thank you for your compliment." Du Chen smiled, he didn't expect that this story would give him a lot of points.

Afterwards, the topic of the two still remained on the hair. After about 5 minutes, the waiter brought in the appetizers, meals and iced sake one by one.

Seeing that the jug of sake was right in front of him, Roy poured each other a glass of wine.

In order to express his gratitude, Du Chen did it first and respected it.

"By the way, Roy, when do you expect to return to the United States? I can see you off." He said that he would see Roy off, but he actually wanted to know how much time he had left to develop a relationship with Roy.

Roy did not respond to the question, but turned a corner to hint him, "Actually, I quit my job in the United States a few days ago." He picked up the small wine glass to his lips, took a sip, first tasted the slightly spicy taste, and then The delicate aroma of rice and flowers spreads slowly to the taste buds.

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Chen immediately raised his eyes to look at him, eyes full of surprise.

"You once said that you were waiting for a reason to keep you, so you have found the reason to keep you in Taiwan." Du Chen asked tentatively.

Roy responded softly, "Yeah." He lowered his head and picked up a piece of salmon sashimi and put it in his mouth, his face was filled with a touch of happiness.

"Then what's the reason?" He still remembers Roy's expression at that time was very sad, as if it was an endless wait, but why did the situation suddenly change after more than a month.

"This is a secret." Slowly picked up the glass and sipped, Roy pulled an intriguing smile from the corner of his mouth.

Since it was said to be a secret, Du Chen thought he should stop asking, because if he heard Roy answer that he stayed because of someone, then he would be out of the game before he was qualified.

"By the way, have you framed the photo I sent you?" He changed the subject.

Roy was stunned for a moment, and then he responded embarrassedly: "Not yet, because I live with Luo Jie now, I'm afraid he will mind." Architects usually taboo to put other people's works in the office or at home, and he is also in this way.

"That building was designed by him, what does he care about?" Du Chen had already finished eating the mixed sashimi, and now he was working on the beef slices that were grilled to medium rare.

"What?" Roy opened his lips with a look of astonishment.

"You seem shocked. Don't you know that it was designed by him?" On the day of the photography exhibition, he thought that Roy knew that the building was designed by Luo Jie, so he stood in front of the photo for so long.

Seeing Roy nodding his head slightly, now Du Chen looked shocked, "You two brothers are also strange, obviously the relationship is so good, but why don't you know this little thing?"

From the conversation and small actions of the two of them that night, he could feel the strong brotherhood between them, but Luo Jie seemed to be overly protective of his younger brother. As soon as he got close to Roy, those sharp eyes that were as black as ice skates It will immediately sweep towards him as a warning.

"What a good brother, we haven't seen each other for four years, and there are still things we don't know about each other." Roy's expression sank, and he laughed at himself.

Think carefully about what Luo Jie did during the four years he left?What happened?He didn't know it at all, but just blindly loved him blindly.

How should he make up for the four years of estrangement and trust in each other?Staring at the food on the plate, he fell into a moment of thought.

During this period, the waiter served other meals one after another, and the table was suddenly full of rich food.

Picking up the freshly baked fried shrimp tempura and taking a bite, Roy asked indistinctly, "Du Chen, have you known Miss Zhenxi for a long time?"

"We have known each other for ten years. She was my school girl in college."

"Then do you know her well?" Roy asked casually.

"It's quite understanding." Du Chen nodded while chewing the food.

Seeing that Roy seemed to want to find out more about her, he asked with interest, "What's the matter? Are you interested in her?"

Roy immediately shook his head, "No, I just feel that she and...my brother seem to be very close." He couldn't truthfully say the scene that he cared about. Once he said it, Du Chen would immediately notice that his tone was full of envy.

"Could it be that you are afraid that Zhenxi will become your future sister-in-law!" Du Chen jokingly said, raising his eyebrows.

Roy paled and stopped eating.That image flashed in his mind, and a soreness was churning in his chest.

Du Chen took his reaction as an answer, and even thought that he was looking at Zhenxi from the perspective of helping his brother pick a girlfriend, so he asked about those things.

"Don't worry, it's impossible for them to call, besides, Zhenxi has a boyfriend."

Unable to hear Du Chen's words behind him, Roy remained silent and just stuffed the food into his mouth. No matter what the taste of the food in his mouth, he tasted it like chewing wax.

The two sides were silent for a while, Du Chen didn't understand why Roy's attitude changed so much?Tried to talk to him, but he just said a few words, then fell silent.

******

After sending Zhenxi home, Luo Jie drove home at a fast speed.He couldn't wait to see Roy and enjoy the sweet world of two people.

But before the car was about to drive into the underground parking lot, he unexpectedly saw Roy get out of someone else's car and say goodbye to the people in the car with a happy face.

Looking at that scene with cold eyes, a solemn air condensed between his brows.

After saying goodbye to Du Chen, Roy walked into the apartment with a disturbed mood.

At the beginning, he wanted to find out from Du Chen what kind of mentality Zhenxi had towards Luo Jie, so he blurted out that he wanted to invite Du Chen to dinner, but he didn't achieve his goal, which made him even more upset.

He didn't expect that eating a meal would cost him so much energy and energy. It's getting late now, and he hopes to get home one step earlier than Luo Jie.

Because he didn't want to face Luo Jie with a turbulent heart, and he didn't want to smell that woman's perfume from him.

Insert the key into the round hole and turn it slowly, and there was a crisp sound immediately on the door lock, and at this moment, a sentence suddenly came from behind him: "Xiao Yi..."

Hearing that magnetic voice, Roy's whole heart paused, and a chill shot up from the soles of his feet instantly.

God!How could it be so hard to let him meet Luo Jie at the door!

He immediately suppressed the panic in his heart, looked back and smiled, "Jie, you're back!" He pushed open the door with one hand.

"Where are you going? Why did you come back now?" Luo Jie looked at him with eyes like a torch, and asked curiously.

Roy looked back at him with a pair of clear round eyes, "I went out for a stroll and had dinner by the way." After entering the door, he quickly put the leather shoes into the shoe cabinet, leaving Luo Jie alone in the hallway, and strode into the house.

Luo Jie then followed his footsteps into the house.Putting his coat on the back of the sofa, he sat down towards the sofa and loosened his tie and the two buttons in front of the neckline.

"Xiaoyi, come here." He called to Roy's disappearing figure.

Seeing that he could escape into the bedroom in a few steps, Roy was startled when he was suddenly stopped.He turned around and sat down on the empty seat beside Luo Jie with a nervous expression.As soon as he sat down, he smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

Jie would not have gone drinking with Zhenxi until now!

Usually when a man buys a woman a drink it means he is interested in her.He knew that Luo Jie was not interested in her, but Zhen Xi might not think so.

"I was downstairs just now and saw you getting off someone else's car. Who did you go out with today?" Luo Jie's calm and calm attitude seemed full of menace.

He didn't want to contain Roy too much. Although they were lovers, they still needed some space for themselves.He allowed Roy to have dinner with his friends, but Roy's abnormal reaction made him feel that things were not simple.

"Just a friend." Roy responded perfunctorily, feeling extremely restless.

"Which friend?" With a raised eyebrow, Luo Jie continued to ask.

"It's someone you don't know." He still didn't say the answer Luo Jie wanted to hear.

With just a blink of an eye, Luo Jie read guilt from his flickering eyes, "Tell the truth!" He clasped his jaw, speaking with a domineering air that cannot be resisted.

Roy tried his best to calm down, took a deep breath and said loudly, "It's Du Chen."

This person's name was blacklisted by Luo Jie.He frowned, his face turned cold, "I said before that he has no good intentions for you, why do you still want to approach him?"

"After the photo exhibition, he gave me something instead of a treat, so I invited him back to dinner to express my gratitude." Royry explained bluntly.

Luo Jie's jaw was set, and he was very displeased that Roy acted alone without telling him about it in advance.

"If you want to thank you, you can invite him to dinner together when I am free. I don't like you being alone." He invited Roy to have dinner together that day. If he wanted to invite Du Chen back, it should be him. please.

Roy retorted sullenly: "Just going to have a meal together, what can he do to me? Even if he is interested in me, do you think I'm so unreliable in your eyes?" Tsukuru is his accessory and doesn't like people touching his things.

"You know I didn't mean that." Luo Jie said with dark eyes and lowered his voice.

"That's what you mean."

The eyes of the two met, and each had its own persistence.Suddenly, the flames of anger burned between each other.

"Anyway, I don't allow you to approach him. If you dare to meet him again, see how I punish you." Luo Jie gritted his teeth and growled, his eyes radiating a cold light.

Hearing this, a sense of grievance suddenly entered Roy's heart.Obviously it was Luo Jie who had an affair with Zhen Xi first, but now he warns himself that if he wants to find out why he met Du Chen, the reason is not because of him.

"What right do you have to forbid me from meeting anyone? Why don't you go drinking with Zhenxi yourself!" He was angry, blurted out this sentence and left the living room angrily, locking himself in the bedroom.

Hearing those key words, Luo Jie's black eyes flashed with surprise, and the anger in his belly was replaced by another emotion.

He remembered that the text message did not tell Roy that he was with Jinxi.

He immediately came to the door of Roy's room and wanted to ask clearly, "Xiao Yi." After turning the doorknob and finding it locked, he slapped the door heavily, "Xiao Yi, open the door!"

Roy lay on the bed and turned a deaf ear to him. He covered his head with the quilt and hid in the bed, trying to prevent all disturbances.

His heart was so upset and chaotic that it seemed to explode.

After a while, the people outside the door suddenly became silent.Turning over the quilt, he stared blankly at the door, unable to believe that Luo Jie left just like that, not intending to explain everything to him.

After a moment of astonishment, he heard the sound of a key, and the door was suddenly opened.

Deng looked at the person who broke into the room, and said angrily, "How can you do this? Get out of here immediately."

"This is my family, why can't I do this." Luo Jie raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"You..." Roy stared at him tongue-tied.

"Clarify what you just said, how do you know I'm with Zhenxi?" Luo Jie walked to him and sat down, asking in a soft tone.

From Roy's point of view, he just saw a lip print on the inside of his collar, and the anger tormented by jealousy and anxiety in his chest instantly burned more intensely.

He pursed his lips, got out of bed without saying a word, and planned to head towards the door.

"Xiao Yi." Luo Jie grabbed his hand and prevented him from leaving.

"Let go of me! I don't want to see you now." Roy choked angrily as he broke free from the restraints on his hands.

"Roy!" His voice sank, and Luo Jie was also angry.

Ignoring his warning, Roy insisted on leaving.

Seeing that he couldn't listen to anything, Luo Jie violently pulled him back to his side and pinned him on the bed.

Roy stared at him with red eyes, "Put... woo" Before he could say anything, his lips were swallowed by Luo Jie's hot mouth full of wine.
