tempting

Cheng Zhiya just sat down and wanted to order, but the waiter brought him a cup of espresso that he often drank in a timely manner, which was obviously ordered by Su Tang.

Su Tang looked out of the window and sighed: "No wonder you like to sit here. This place has the best view in the entire cafe. You can see the intersection with dense traffic and traffic, and it's quiet enough."

Being taken care of like this, Cheng Zhiya didn't know whether he should be happy or not.Recently, he has been often moved by these details, and even began to over-interpret them passionately, even though Su Tang may only be out of politeness and self-cultivation.

Cheng Zhiya thought secretly, he really shouldn't have met him, he could still barely control his thoughts without meeting him, and it was hard to control his thoughts when he saw him.

But he still held it on the surface, and chatted with Su Tang about Yang Qingce all afternoon, during which Su Tang's phone screen lit up several times.

"Sorry, I'll take it first."

Su Tang smiled embarrassedly, picked up the phone and chatted for a while.

Cheng Zhiya stretched his neck to observe, and was a little dazed by Su Tang's smiling face, and when he turned his head, it was almost too late to resume his sitting posture.

He pretended to calmly sip his coffee and asked, "What's the matter? Is there something urgent?"

Su Tang said, "No, Zhou Shang called."

As soon as he heard the name "Zhou Shang", Cheng Zhiya's voice dropped a few degrees, and he replied perfunctorily, "Oh, is that so?"

Su Tang pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Recently, I introduced a colleague to him. He really likes him, but he couldn't bear to ask him out. But when he was about to go back to work in Africa, he was finally willing to invite him to watch a movie. He was so happy." Now, call and share with me right away..."

"What? Are you introducing someone to him?" Before Su Tang finished talking, Cheng Zhiya couldn't sit still.

Su Tang's eyes showed confusion, and he nodded: "That's right, he has been single since graduating from university, it's very pitiful."

It's fine for this guy to have a crush, but he also matches up with the crush to be nice to others, just because the other party wants it.

How can there be such a stupid person?

Cheng Zhiya was really angry, and he didn't care about the gentleman's demeanor, so he kept saying something: "It's fine if you don't talk about your secret love, but now you have to match him with others. Why don't you say you like him? Why do you force yourself like this? , give him whatever he wants?"

Su Tang paused for a few seconds, then Fang burst out laughing.After laughing, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked, "Tell me, who do I have a crush on?"

"Zhou Shang, isn't it?"

Seeing Su Tang laughing so hard, Cheng Zhiya felt something was wrong, and thought that maybe he had misunderstood, and he really did hear him explain: "Of course not, he played with me since we were young, and I'm the one who is very nice." very good friend."

He looked at Cheng Zhiya for a while, and continued in a joking tone: "I just heard your tone, hating iron but not steel, I always feel that if I really have a crush on Zhou Shang, you might beat him up first, and then replace him I confess."

Cheng Zhiya was so embarrassed that his ears turned red, and he pretended to drink coffee.

But he didn't deny it after all: "I won't confess for you, but I don't rule out teaching him a lesson."

"Why don't you confess to me? Didn't you say you like it?"

"I hope you can give up on him," Cheng Zhiya subconsciously replied, "The longer the crush, the more you will be unable to distinguish between love and self-movement, habits, and many things will change after a long time. And for the person who is crushed, This kind of love can also be overwhelming, feeling indebted and unable to repay."

Perhaps his tone was too serious, Su Tang suppressed his smile after hearing this, and asked after a moment of silence: "But if I can't give up, what should I do?"

Cheng Zhiya was still regretting that he had spoken too seriously, but Su Tang's question made him unable to reply, and his brows frowned even deeper.

Su Tang took it seriously for a few seconds, then chuckled: "I'm teasing you."

Cheng Zhiya obviously didn't intend to cooperate with him and Si Ni, and said seriously: "You should find someone who knows how to cherish you, and fall in love with him."

"Falling in love is difficult, just as difficult as the only two or two red beans in a basket of mung beans finally met. More people in this world love but don't love, love but don't. So to be able to love, whether it is being Love or lover, don't care too much."

Su Tang twirled the pen in his hand while talking, his eyebrows drooped, his eyelashes were thick and long, and from Cheng Zhiya's perspective, he could see that there seemed to be a moth with fluttering wings.

Cheng Zhiya's heart was moved, and he suddenly wanted to kiss and keep the moth, but he felt that the timing and occasion were wrong.

Just like there is nothing right between him and Su Tang now, he is not willing to go back to bed partner or stop at the position of so-called friend, Su Tang may not let him sit on the throne of lover.

And is he ready for a new relationship?The answer is unknown.

Su Tang didn't want to continue this topic anymore, he raised his eyes and smiled: "Okay, don't waste time, let's get back to the topic."

After that, the two chatted all afternoon, and it was already evening when they walked out of the cafe.

Cheng Zhiya wanted to keep someone for dinner, so Su Tang hurried back to sort out the recording and the outline of the planned interview.He wanted to send someone home, but Su Tang drove out today.

Anyway, there is no reason to stay together anymore.

When parting, Su Tang said: "Thank you today, I will treat you to dinner another day."

Cheng Zhiya didn't believe this kind of adult politeness the most, another day, another day, another day is probably the next life.He asked, "When did you make an appointment for the interview?"

"It's probably three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, at Mr. Yang's house."

"Okay, see you then."

Su Tang blinked, but didn't understand what Cheng Zhiya meant.

Knowing that this guy was just being polite, Cheng Zhiya cursed.

He snorted: "Didn't you say treat me to dinner? After the interview is over, treat me to dinner."

Su Tang suppressed a smile: "Okay, but is your painter Cheng Da still short of a meal?"

Cheng Zhiya said in his heart that he is not short of a meal, but he is quite short of your meal.

*

On the day of the interview, Cheng Zhiya was delayed, and it was almost four o'clock when he arrived at Yang Qingce's house.

I thought the interview was almost over, but as soon as I entered the door, I heard hearty laughter from the old man's house.Then look at Yang Qingce's face beaming with joy, talking endlessly about his youth, and he doesn't look like he hates reporters a bit.

Su Tang made tea for him from time to time, and made a few words for him. The atmosphere of the chat was very pleasant.

Cheng Zhiya called out master with a low eyebrow, and Yang Qingce sent him to work with his wife on the grounds that he was talking about business.

Yang Qingce's respected friend from the same industry married an actor. After the divorce, he was smeared and harassed many times by unscrupulous media. Later, he simply went abroad to avoid right and wrong.He himself has a violent temper. At that time, he came forward to scold the report for his friends. Since then, he has formed a relationship with the media. He has refused any media interviews for many years. This time he agreed to accept the invitation of "Character Style" for almost five years. The editorial department was sincere enough to let go.

While choosing dishes with his wife, Cheng Zhiya listened to his wife chatting about homework, while paying attention to the conversation in the living room.

He seemed to inadvertently ask his wife how the reporter who came to interview him was doing.

Mistress nodded with satisfaction: "That child is energetic and polite. Your master talked to him today more than he talked in a whole year."

Cheng Zhiya was inexplicably proud, with a smile on his lips.

The originally scheduled one-hour interview lasted nearly three hours, and Su Tang made an appointment for another interview while the old man was in high spirits.I wanted to say goodbye at this point, but it was time for dinner, so Yang Qingce and his wife stopped him for a potluck meal.Su Tang had no choice but to accept the old man's kind invitation.

At the dinner table, Su Tang pretended to be completely unfamiliar with Cheng Zhiya, and even introduced himself in a serious manner.

Obviously they're all fucked up, why are they pretending, Cheng Zhiya thought this way, he didn't cooperate well with this kind of friend game.But Yang Qingce, who didn't know it, thought that this indifferent attitude was a lack of etiquette, so he taught him the principles of life on the spot, and Cheng Zhiya was reprimanded for nothing.

Mr. Yang has a deep friendship with Cheng Zhiya's grandfather. Cheng Zhiya has been a teacher since he was a child. He used to say "grandpa" on the left and "master" on the right. He was already half of the Yang family. Grandchildren are no different.

When dinner was over, Cheng Zhiya offered to send Su Tang home as an "apology", with a downcast expression on his face.

Su Tang couldn't stop laughing as soon as he went out, Cheng Zhiya thought it would be embarrassing for him to be scolded in public when he was almost thirty, it can be seen that Su Tang laughed happily and didn't care about it.

He also became interested, and took the initiative to mention his childhood embarrassment to Su Tang: "One time I sneaked out to the flower and bird market with my senior brother to learn about it, and bought a parrot. But the master suddenly came back early, and my senior brother and I hurriedly hid the parrot in the bed. As a result, the parrot almost suffocated to death. The matter was revealed, and everyone took a few palms."

"Master was really angry that day. He was angry with us for not cherishing the opportunity to practice painting, and even more angry with us for lying. Those few strokes were really cruel, and his hands hurt for several days."

As he spoke, he raised his palm, but Su Tang suddenly stretched out a hand to cover it, and slowly stroked the imprint on his palm that had faded long ago. The touch like a dragonfly on water made his palm numb and itchy.

Cheng Zhiya completely lost his ability to speak, only Su Tang muttered in a low voice: "Fortunately, Mr. Yang didn't do anything today."

In fact, after his father Cheng Mian passed away, Master was not willing to beat him anymore.

He didn't say it, but kept a slightly despicable thought.Su Tang's almost distressed touching and muttering tone made him very happy.The autumn wind passed by, and the body that was feverish after the meal immediately cooled down a lot, and the ambiguity at the moment was very comfortable, and when the head was hot, I couldn't help interlocking my fingers with him.

Su Tang raised his head to meet his pulse, and blinked his peach blossom eyes, which seemed drunk but not drunk, and his slightly raised lips looked soft, just waiting for someone to kiss, bite, and lick.

The upturned corner of his mouth deepened again.

Cheng Zhiya took a deep breath, wondering if it was time to kiss now.

He mustered up the courage to bow his head a little bit, but Su Tang avoided it as if nothing had happened: "Let's go."

Just a little bit of touch, lips and teeth, or some other deeper intimacy.

The anxiety that he couldn't get began to burn in Cheng Zhiya's chest again.

Along the way, he was agitated by inexplicable emotions, and he didn't say a word.

Xu Shi noticed that the atmosphere was delicate, so Su Tang took the initiative to talk about today's interview.

Seeing that he was talking vigorously, Cheng Zhiya took advantage of the situation and asked him how to pry open the old man's golden mouth.

Mr. Yang was really repulsive at first, but when he talked about the days when he was studying abroad in France when he was young, his emotions rose, and he even hummed a French song that he missed very much. Unfortunately, he suddenly forgot the lyrics that day.Cheng Zhiya talked about this detail before, and Su Tangji learned it in his heart, and it came in handy at that time, humming with the old man and beating the beat for him.

"Now that the old man was happy, the chatterbox opened up. I didn't follow the outline at all. I listened to the stories of people in whatever period he liked to talk about, and gave him some guidance. This time I gained a lot of interesting details. We will definitely have a more in-depth conversation next time.”

When Su Tang was chatting, his face was filled with a happy smile. When he was a child, he read countless books and wanted to be a novelist. He had endless interest in the life stories of strangers. Later, he found that the stories of life are sometimes more attractive than fictional imagination. , So I changed my ambition to be a reporter.

Cheng Zhiya who was on the side couldn't help thinking that when Su Tang interviewed him, he was really young, with a little baby fat on his face, and he didn't speak as calmly as now, but he revealed a kind of nervous seriousness.

Looking back, Cheng Zhiya only thought that Su Tang was so cute, so cute that his heart was sweet, so he couldn't help laughing.

Su Tang asked him what he was laughing at.Cheng Zhiya immediately picked it up again, saying it was nothing.

"Liar." Su Tang said angrily, this kind of coquettish tone is so attractive for some reason.

"I did not lie to you."

Cheng Zhiya opened his eyes and talked nonsense, thinking to himself.

Well, it's cute now too.
