On a large ginkgo tree at the corner of Old Street, its branches touch a building. On the second floor, there's a tattoo shop called "Gui Yi," run by Qiao Zhuoyi, who has a "porcupi...
Chapter 58 Chapter 58 "What did you two talk about?"...
"Let's talk about Boss." Liang Yizi leaned back, raised his eyebrows and greeted him.
"Mr. Liang." Tan Du walked in with a tray in his hand.
Qiao Zhuoyi didn't know why he felt guilty, so he didn't look at him and said, "I'm going to get a tattoo."
"Wait a minute." Tan Du picked up the cup and handed it over. "Wake up."
What a coincidence! Today's latte art is "Cupid's Arrow", and the arrow looks like someone's sharp eyes.
Qiao Zhuoyi lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes trembling, and raised his hand to indicate that it was inconvenient: "Drink later."
"It's cold." Tan Du put the cup to his lips.
A light laugh came from Liang Yizi beside him.
Qiao Zhuo glanced over and drank it obediently.
Tan Du pulled his hand away and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"Yeah." Qiao Zhuo responded.
"Hmm?" Tan Du didn't let him go.
Tsk, it’s not over yet.
Qiao Zhuo raised his eyelids and saw his gaze fixed on the takeout coffee cup, then dropped again. He leaned over and whispered, "Your place is closed."
After a pause, he continued, "Who asked you to cultivate this habit in me?"
Tan Du finally smiled and said, "Well, it's my fault for being late."
The two of them have been busy with their own things during the day lately and don't even have time for a proper date.
Especially in the past few days, in order to save time for filming, TD worked overtime to catch up with the orders online. Tan Du didn't even have time to make dinner, and Qiao Zhuoyi was already asleep when he got home.
The two of them were really like neighbors, they just met and exchanged a few words in the morning. Two days ago, Tan Du went to City A again to purchase materials for the Double Day shopping festival.
Qiao Zhuo originally thought that he would not be able to see him today. Although he did not say it, he actually missed him very much. If he had not sensed the sourness in his eyes, he would have looked at him long ago.
He glanced at the mirror beside him. Except for Liang Yizi in front of him, the other three people didn't even look at him. He quickly kissed them on the mouth: "It ends at six o'clock. Book a private room at the mutton restaurant."
As the weather gets colder, the mutton shop is packed every day. If you don’t ask the boss for favor, you really can’t book a table.
"It's booked."
I booked it after I knew the date.
Tan Du pressed his forearm and said, "Be careful. I'll rub it for you when we get back."
"Yeah." Qiao Zhuo went in and started tattooing someone.
Tan Du walked over to the sofa and sat down: "Mr. Liang, let's have dinner together tonight."
"Okay," Liang Yizi smiled, "Is Boss Tan busy?"
"You don't need me." Tan Du said.
Seeing how defensive he was, Liang Yizi started to worry again. He took a sip of his coffee and said, "Boss Tan seems quite hostile towards me. Did Zhuoyi tell you?"
Tan Du raised his eyebrows.
"When he came out to his family, he used the excuse of 'liking me'," Liang Yizi said with a smile.
Tan Du's brows furrowed, and he pushed his glasses down: "It's just a loan."
As he was speaking, a muffled groan suddenly came from the inner room.
Tan Du was used to it. No matter what kind of screams came out of this store, it would not be excessive. However, Liang Yizi, who was sitting opposite him, squeezed the cup in his hand so hard that it became deformed.
Tan Du's brows relaxed: "It hurts to get a tattoo, so it's normal to scream a few times."
The words were spoken in a loud voice, just when Qiao Zhuo was giving people a breath. The room was very quiet, and every word fell into Xiao Lan's ears.
"Who's shouting! It doesn't hurt at all! Ouch—"
Qiao Zhuoyi didn't give him the chance to be a hero and decisively gave him the acupuncture.
Liang Yizi stood up suddenly, then realized that he had overreacted. He coughed lightly and sat down again.
Tan Du smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, are you interested in going out for a chat? I'd like to treat you to coffee."
Liang Yizhi looked at him and asked, "Isn't TD occupied?"
"I can make a cup of coffee," Tan Du raised his eyelids, "The third floor is Guiyi's small restaurant, wait for me upstairs."
Liang Yizi glanced into the inner room and only caught a glimpse of a strand of golden hair shaking slightly. The man's lowered hand was clenched into a fist. He turned away and walked out first.
The restaurant was bustling with people.
The hot air hit Liang Yizhi's face, and he coughed. The tall figure immediately stepped forward to block him. He was helpless: "Xiao Lan, how can I walk like this?"
Xiao Lan moved to the side.
Tan Du said from behind them, "Liang Yizi, box 203."
Qiao Zhuo glanced at him and asked, "Why don't you call him "Mr. Liang" anymore?"
Every time he heard him call her that, Qiao Zhuoyi wanted to laugh. He used to think he was pretentious, but later he found that sour tone quite funny.
Tan Du let him go ahead and into the private room. The mutton shop owner came in to take the order himself: "Boss Tan, hot pot again? And a few more dishes?"
"Okay, you decide." Before Tan Du finished speaking, Liang Yizi also spoke, and their voices overlapped - "Keep it light."
Xiao Lan's eyes immediately lit up. He pushed the scalded cutlery in front of Liang Yizi and raised his chin arrogantly towards the two people opposite him.
"You need to eat light food when you have a tattoo," Qiao Zhuoyi said, "Boss Tan understands that quite well."
Tan Du shook his head: "I said it for you."
"What for?" Qiao Zhuo asked.
"We have a shoot tomorrow." Tan Du replied.
"Tsk, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Qiao Zhuo thought Dian Heng was just joking, but he didn't expect him to be serious.
Tan Du picked up a piece of brown sugar rice cake for him, and Qiao Zhuo swallowed it in one gulp. Just as he was about to ask why the two of them disappeared later, Xiao Lan across from him couldn't help but ask, "Brother Liang, where did you go just now?"
"I went to the third floor with Tan Du and sat for a while." Liang Yizi said, "Zhuo Yi, your little restaurant is doing well."
"It's just a table..." Qiao Zhuo paused and looked to the side. "What did you add?"
"I happened to have some time today, so I made some simple arrangements. Let's see tomorrow if you're satisfied." Tan Du stopped him. "Two pieces are enough. I can't digest too much glutinous rice."
"What a waste of time." Qiao Zhuo put down his chopsticks reluctantly.
Xiao Lan's undisguised gaze flickered between the two of them. Liang Yizi wanted him to restrain himself, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by the waiter who came in.
"We can start serving the food once the pot has boiled," the waiter said. "Do you want to open the wine?"
"Open it." Tan Du said.
The waiter opened the door quickly and left.
Xiao Lan raised his hand to take the bottle of wine, but Liang Yizi glared at him. He withdrew his hand awkwardly and silently poured a drink.
"I'll do it."
Tan Du stood up and poured two glasses of wine, clinked glasses with Liang Yizi, and they each drank.
He put down the cup, rubbed his palms to warm them, then held Qiao Zhuoyi's hand and pressed it gently.
The transformation in the relationship between these two people is too magical.
Qiao Zhuo recalled what Liang Yi hadn't finished saying before, so he pulled his hand back and asked coldly, "What did you two talk about?"
