Miracle Boat
"What are you doing there? Are you coaxing me back again?"
Jin Zhou was lying on the second-floor balcony, laughing foolishly at his phone, when Jiang Ying, who walked up to him with a cigarette in her mouth, called him back to his senses.
He waved away the offered cigarette and asked Jiang Ying, "Where's yours?"
"Don't mention it," Jiang Ying exhaled a puff of smoke and said bitterly, "I wish my wife was as easy to please as Yangzi. That little girl is so cunning and can't be fooled."
"You can't keep someone away from society for their entire lives."
Jiang Ying was even more annoyed. "The store is so short-staffed, couldn't she just come here and help? And you know what she said? She said, 'You two need to maintain some distance, otherwise you'll bring work emotions into your relationship.' Damn! After all these years together, she still maintains a distance."
Jin Zhou chose to remain silent.
This guy even wanted to put his wife on his waist, so he didn't have the face to persuade others.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, Song Shuyang is clingy."
Jiang Ying rolled her eyes. "Get away from me! Don't mess with me now, or I'll expose your whole affair to the world."
"Stab," Jin Zhou looked at her expressionlessly, "It's a fight to the death, right? Come on."
"No, no, no, I'm just kidding, brother." Jiang Ying smiled bitterly. She found that she really couldn't threaten Jin Zhou. This man was not afraid of anything when he went crazy.
…
After talking nonsense in the morning and meeting Croissant in the evening, Song Shuyang felt uncomfortable all over.
This makes it impossible for anyone to tell that the boy with thin legs, parrot head and baby face is thirty years old!
However, he had to say this apology, whether because of him or because of Jin Zhou.
Song Shuyang's sincere apology only earned Croissant a confused look: "Huh? Why?"
He used all the English he had learned throughout his life to roughly describe the whole process of how he misunderstood him.
Croissant waved his hand nonchalantly, "When I was pursuing my wife, I used much more sinister methods!"
He actually used the word insidious. It must be similar to thinking of two advanced vocabulary words when writing an English composition.
Song Shuyang was very curious, "What is your wife like?"
Croissant smiled shyly, "She's a tall woman, 180 centimeters tall!"
Song Shuyang looked at the "shota" in front of him who was shorter than himself, and couldn't imagine what it would look like if he stood with his wife...
Jin Zhou and Jiang Ying were in the kitchen, one in the warehouse, and with only an hour left to go, they were both scrambling. Bored and finding Croissant quite interesting, Song Shuyang couldn't help but check his household registration.
"I heard from Jin Zhou that you are his arrangement teacher, so how come you are here as a resident singer?"
"That's not the case." Croissant wanted to explain, but he couldn't express himself clearly in his poor Chinese.
Song Shuyang became more and more confused as he listened. Fortunately, Jin Zhou came out from the kitchen, holding a plate in front of him, and said on behalf of Croissant, "For now, he's a singer. Once we have enough people here, Jiang Ying and I will be able to free up, and the four of us will start making original music."
Croissant: "Yes! That's it!"
"Four people?" Song Shuyang looked around. "Where is the other person?"
Jin Zhou said: "There is another person asking."
"Are you talking about me?" Song Shuyang pointed at himself, a little confused, "Can I do it? My guitar playing and singing are only half-baked."
Jin Zhou crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't someone say that they wanted me to be on the top 100 DJs?"
As he said this, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket like magic and handed it to Song Shuyang.
It was the rough contract he had written in the car that day. When he handed it to Jin Zhou for signature, he refused. But now his name was clearly written on it.
Song Shuyang wanted to take it to confirm whether it was really the one he had written, but Jin Zhou quickly took it away and said, "You have to keep this with me, in case you regret it one day."
Song Shuyang looked at his serious face and suddenly felt like laughing.
Jin Zhou is such an amazing person that people always suspect that he really knows magic.
He held Jin Zhou's face and said with a smile, "I won't regret it."
This time he will definitely do what he says.
Jin Zhou brought over two pairs of chopsticks and greeted him and Croissant, "The kitchen has newly developed a cold snack and is going to officially add it to the menu tonight. You guys should try it."
When Song Shuyang was in school, he always saw people saying that Helios’ snacks were very unique and not the same old pre-prepared dishes you see in other bars. This was the first time he had tried them after all the time they had been open.
There are some ducks on the plate, but from the appearance, they don’t look like they are braised or fried. They are garnished with bright red peppers and yellow French fries, which makes people’s mouths water at the sight.
Song Shuyang took a bite of the duck neck and said in surprise, "It's delicious."
There are several local brands of braised food in Han City, but the dish that Jin Zhou brought tastes different from those brands. The texture is very novel, and the taste is both spicy and fresh, making it perfect for drinking.
Croissant also kept giving thumbs up, and while screaming in pleasure at the spiciness, he gobbled up half the plate in no time.
As a new media person, he recorded this visually impactful scene in his mobile phone in a timely manner. After obtaining authorization from Croissant himself, he took less than ten minutes to edit it into a finished video, which he prepared to send to the account he operated for Jin Zhou to warm up the new product in advance.
As a result, the new product was sold out within an hour of opening. Originally worried that the product would not sell out and would have to be stockpiled, Jin Zhou asked the kitchen to conservatively prepare 20 servings. However, as soon as the door opened, a group of people came up from nowhere and specifically asked for this product. This table alone ordered five servings. In the end, Jin Zhou had to take the initiative to apologize to the customers who came here for the product, saying that he would definitely stock up tomorrow and that the drinks for the whole table that were not ordered today would be 20% off.
Song Shuyang was watching from the second floor, feeling a great sense of accomplishment, even though the customers were attracted by the croissant's appearance...
He has already planned to create a personal IP number for Croissant in the future, which will be used specifically to promote the snacks, which is very bossy!
At eight o'clock, Helios' music performance officially began.
The microphone had already been tuned, Croissant sat down in front of it, Jin Zhou picked up the guitar, hit three drum beats, and the music started.
I have to say that Croissant's voice is really nice as long as he doesn't speak Chinese. He is a natural singer. When he gets into the performance state, he is no longer the same person as he usually is. His colorful hair covers half of his face, leaving only his delicate nose and lips exposed, and his heavenly voice slowly pours out.
But what attracted his attention more was Jin Zhou.
Jin Zhou was wearing a loose black and white sweater today. He lowered his head with a focused expression, and his slender fingers brushed across the guitar strings, which was inexplicably seductive.
Noticing the gaze coming from above his head, he looked up and blinked at Song Shuyang.
What are you doing, in front of so many people...
Song Shuyang complained in his heart, but a sweet smile filled his lips.
Croissant only performs three songs every day. No matter how much the audience shouts for an encore, it’s useless. They are just following the hunger marketing route. What will happen if you get tired of listening to it once and don’t want to come next time?
He quickly ran upstairs to find Song Shuyang, pulled him and said, "Come drink with me!"
Jin Zhou told him that Croissant was an old drunkard. He would start to get drunk after performing three songs every night. He had fallen drunk in Jiang Ying's office several times and no one cared about him. He would just sleep on the floor in a daze all night.
Song Shuyang thought he was already a troublemaker, but he didn't expect there was another troublemaker. He declined Croissant's enthusiastic invitation, "I don't drink, so you should drink less."
Croissant's face was filled with disappointment. "No one plays with me. I'm so lonely."
"You're great. You even use the word 'lonely'." Song Shuyang praised sincerely.
"Really?! I once told Boats I was lonely and he said I couldn't say that to him. I thought I used it wrong!"
Song Shuyang: "..."
Is it right for a married man to cry out to Jin Zhou about being lonely?!
"Do you know how to play games?" Song Shuyang had no other ideas and used his ultimate killer move. "How about I take you to play games?"
So the two naughty kids sat side by side in Jiang Ying's office playing games. Song Shuyang was afraid that he would be too good, so he played very carefully, but ten minutes later he found out -
Great! Someone even more deceitful than him has appeared!
Because Croissant's tricks were so obvious and innovative, all his teammates' fire was directed at him. The key point was that he couldn't quite understand the insults and ran around the map in a daze the whole time. After hearing a certain keyword, he finally realized that the chattering voice in the microphone was scolding him.
Song Shuyang comforted him: "It's okay, these people are just very irritable, just block them."
However, Croissant's expression turned serious.
He clicked on the small speaker icon, took a deep breath, and started speaking into the microphone.
The astonishing speaking speed and the aggressive momentum made Song Shuyang stand in awe.
The key point is that he speaks French, so there is no need to worry about the system detecting that he is swearing. This is simply the highest level of trolling. Even if no one can understand him, he is not afraid of being blocked. He is completely unselectable!
Although the teammates didn't understand, they were silenced by the rapid-fire French.
Song Shuyang was so moved that he almost wanted to kneel down to Croissant. After all these years, he finally met the most suitable gaming partner...
Since no one can lead him, he will just bring a mercenary to shut up the trolls!
At two o'clock in the morning, most of the customers in the store had left, and Jin Zhou was finally able to relax and take a breath.
As soon as I went upstairs, I heard—
"Brother, you are so awesome. If you feel lonely in the future, just come find me. I promise to be there whenever you call!"
Jin Zhou frowned.
I didn't even look at him, so how come he is not the only brother anymore?
When I walked over, I saw Song Shuyang circling around Croissant and flattering him, while Croissant was laughing foolishly.
Jin Zhou was amused, two idiots.
"Song Shuyang, come here."
The real brother came, and Song Shuyang didn't care about the temporary brother anymore. He ran over and jumped on him.
"Jin Zhou!"
Jin Zhou caught it steadily, lifted his butt and bounced it up, with an indulgent smile on his face, "You don't feel sorry for me at all, and you didn't even ask me to rest for a while."
Song Shuyang asked him: "Am I heavy?"
“It’s not heavy, but it’s hot.”
"All right."
Song Shuyang jumped down again and told him ecstatically that he had finally found a gaming partner.
"My destiny," he said. "Croissant is definitely my destined partner, the teammate God sent to me."
Jin Zhou still had a smile on his face, "Is that so."
"What time are you coming home? I'm a little sleepy."
"Now."
Before Song Shuyang could react, he was pulled by the hand and walked out. As he walked, he turned back to remind him: "There are still two tables left..."
"in spite of."
Song Shuyang was stuffed directly into the back seat of his car, and then that broad chest pressed down.
He finally started to get scared, but it was too late. He was pressed on the car seat and kissed for more than half an hour. That was not all, the key point was that his entire body except for the vital parts was touched through his clothes!
It's not uncomfortable, the key is...
He's a functioning adult male!
Jin Zhou lit the fire and refused to put it out. Song Shuyang was paralyzed all over and was half-forced and half-coaxed to call Croissant.
"Um... From now on, the time we play games together should be limited to one hour."
"Huh? Why?"
Song Shuyang's waist was pinched, itching and uncomfortable, but she said with a stiff upper lip: "My boyfriend won't let me play games for too long."
"Well, Boats is pretty much like a strict father to you."
After hanging up the phone, he said angrily: "That's enough!"
Jin Zhou tutted, "I'm still a little unhappy."
"So what do you want from me? Never meet him again? Or never find someone to play games with?"
Jin Zhou looked into his half-angry, half-resenting eyes, so bright, so trusting of him.
Before he could say anything, he suddenly relaxed and hugged Song Shuyang's waist and rubbed it.
"Zizi, do you think I'm too controlling? I don't want to be like this either. I want you to be happy and make more friends, but I'm so jealous. What should I do..."
Song Shuyang found that since he officially confirmed his relationship with Jin Zhou, he seemed like a different person. His former magnanimity and composure were all gone, and now he was just a jealous and anxious boy.
But he said, “It’s okay.”
The tips of his ears turned red as he muttered, "I don't have much of my own opinion, and I'm too lazy to think. It's best if someone tells me what I should and shouldn't do. As for controlling tendencies... just figure it out. Just don't always try to settle scores later. If you're unhappy, just tell me in person and I'll change."
His words made Jin Zhou feel even more guilty. "You're so nice, you'll only make me become more and more demanding."
Song Shuyang rubbed his head with a deep look in his eyes, revealing a helpless yet doting smile, "Who made you my boyfriend?"
Song Shaoyou ordered: Spoil her! Spoil her to death!
He played with Jin Zhou's hair for a while and found that it was very long. There was a question that he had been holding in his mind and had not asked it for a long time, so now was the right time to ask it.
"Hey, why did you suddenly cut your hair short?"
"Don't you like it?"
"I like it quite a bit, but I think long hair suits your temperament better. When you stand there, you look like a melancholic, artistic handsome man."
"If you like me, I'll keep it."
"Can you dye it a croissant? You don't need so many colors, right? Blue-gray would definitely suit."
Jin Zhou raised his face and rubbed noses with him, "I always listen to my wife."
Song Shuyang coughed lightly and thought of a particularly funny word, but it was rare for him to hear Jin Zhou call him wife, so he was afraid that saying it out loud would ruin the atmosphere.
