Chapter 2: The burden of secretly loving an idol is quite heavy
As night falls, the oppressive heat in the air dissipates.
Yun Sui walked out of the coffee shop. She and Yu Qian made an appointment to have dinner at a nearby restaurant.
I passed by the flower shop next door and found that the sunflowers were in full bloom, so I took a photo and posted it in the family group.
[Yun Sui: The sunflowers in the flower shop are blooming beautifully]
Soon, she saw the photos sent by her mother.
[Mom: That’s still not as fresh as the ones in my shop (smile)]
Yun Sui smiled, hung up his phone and continued walking forward.
The two met at a nearby Xingcheng Restaurant, which is said to serve the most authentic Xingcheng cuisine in North City.
Yun Sui glanced at the plaque.
South Wind Courtyard.
It's too artistic, not quite like the style of Xingcheng cuisine, and lacks the spicy and fragrant feeling.
"Ladies."
A waiter came up and asked politely.
"My friend has arrived. She said she's sitting by the window." After Yun Sui finished speaking, the waiter understood and took her inside.
"Your friend is there."
"Thank you." Yun Sui nodded to her.
She walked towards Yu Qianzai and patted her shoulder lightly.
"Qianqian."
Yu Qian saw her coming over and said with a smile: "I ordered a few dishes that you like. They should be ready to eat in a while."
Yun Sui nodded, then teased her: "Then I'll see if I like it later."
"How could I be wrong?" Yu Qian said confidently, "You always order the same dishes when you eat at Xingcheng. How could I be wrong?"
When Yunsui likes something, or gets used to something, he rarely changes it.
After Yun Sui sat down, she could see the night view of the North City from her angle. She looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic and the neon lights of the city, which was beautiful and gorgeous.
Yu Qian followed her gaze.
“It would be great if I could enjoy the night view like this every day,” Yu Qian commented. “This city is still very beautiful.”
Yun Sui nodded slightly.
After graduating from university in Beicheng, I have been working here. From being confused about the future to now having a place to rest after get off work and being accompanied by close friends, Yunsui feels that he should have gotten used to this city over the years.
"My mother is planning to introduce me to a blind date." Yu Qian spoke after taking a sip of tea.
Yun Sui retracted his gaze and looked at Yu Qian in front of him, "So what do you think?"
Yu Qian is Yun Sui's college roommate and a native of North City. Unlike her who works alone in this city, Yu Qian's home is not far from where she works. She is the only daughter in the family, so she is naturally loved and pampered, even when she is working.
What's more, Yun Sui still remembers that she has a childhood sweetheart.
"I'm not resisting. If it's suitable, we can be together." Yu Qian said.
"What about your childhood sweetheart?" Yun Sui looked at her slightly awkward expression and teased her.
Yu Qian opened her mouth slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything.
The dishes arrived just in time, and Yun Sui didn't ask any more questions.
Yun Sui learned about this childhood sweetheart from her during a night chat in college. They met later. Yu Qian didn't tell him about their current situation, and Yun Sui didn't ask either.
Looking at the dishes being served, they were indeed the ones she liked to eat.
"I was thinking of changing things up today, but I didn't expect someone to understand me so well," Yun Sui said.
"Of course." Yu Qian smiled and raised an eyebrow, "But I ordered it slightly spicy."
"Just a little spicy is fine. After so many years in North City, I can't handle spicy food anymore."
This is the truth. Yu Qian still remembers the first reunion in college. Three spoonfuls of chili peppers directly deepened her impression that people in Xingcheng can eat spicy food. She is obviously not as good as she was back then.
"You've been here for so many years, haven't you ever thought about going back?" Yu Qian asked.
"I've thought about it." Yun Sui said.
Yunsui has been staying here since graduation. Except for some discomfort at the beginning and the high intensity of work making her want to go home and lie down, she got used to it later.
Now I work hard every day and don’t look for a partner. I hang out in the cafe every day and have dinner with them. My life is ordinary and I have fewer thoughts about returning to Star City.
"Then you will stay in North City forever, right?" Yu Qian asked again.
"Not sure." Yun Sui suddenly thought of what Lin Chi'an said, that his family was introducing him to a girl.
They are all at the age where they should start a family, and the future is uncertain.
"No, you're my best friend. What would I do without you?" Yu Qian pretended to be about to cry and suggested, "You should find a partner in Beicheng."
Yun Sui picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl.
"That's not a good suggestion. If I wanted to go back, I would probably take my partner back to Star City with me." He winked at her after saying that.
The Xingcheng cuisine in this restaurant is really authentic. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been busy recently and I feel a little tired, so I really want to eat hometown cuisine.
She looked at Yu Qian who was taking another sip of tea across from her.
Qianqian can't eat spicy food very well, but I'm afraid that she will miss home and no one will eat with her, so I always take the initiative to accompany her to eat Xingcheng cuisine.
"Zhao Lei and the others asked us to go karaoke today. I wonder if we will drink." Yu Qian said, holding up his cell phone and leaning his arms on the table.
"I won't go for drinks. I drank too much yesterday." Yun Sui opened the group chat and watched Zhao Lei tag everyone in the group.
Soon, another message appeared.
Zhao Lei: No drinking, just singing
"The one among us who should get married the most is Zhao Lei," said Yu Qian.
Yun Sui thought about it and agreed.
Many of the groups were organized by Zhao Lei. He was from the north city, his family was not short of money, and he had no shortage of partners around him, but none of them finally settled down.
"If it's not far, then go. I've been busy lately and have rejected him many times." Yun Sui said.
"OK."
The two of them replied to each other in the group, and then saw Lin Chi'an's avatar appear behind them.
Yun Suiqing blinked his eyes.
[Lin Chian: Arrive late]
"Lin Chi'an is coming too? Then I guess we'll see a lot of little girls today." Yu Qian said.
When Yun Sui heard this, he just smiled and nodded slightly in agreement.
Zhao Lei was Lin Chi'an's roommate in college. They knew each other because of Lin Chi'an and Yun Sui.
"When will I be able to experience this feeling of being sought after?" Yu Qian sighed.
It is undeniable that Lin Chi'an is a scumbag, but he is also handsome. This kind of person has a fatal attraction to little girls.
"Right away." After saying that, Yun Sui opened his QR code and waved it at her. "Beautiful girl, can you add me on WeChat?"
Yu Qian was amused and came over to hug her arm.
From this angle, she could just see Yun Sui's fair skin and superior profile.
"It's a pity that you are not interested in Lin Chi'an, otherwise I guarantee that he will not be able to escape from your grasp." Yu Qian looked at her face and said seriously.
Lin Chi'an is the most handsome man she has ever seen, and Yun Sui is the only person she has ever seen who can suppress Lin Chi'an.
The two people's magnetic fields are very harmonious.
Hearing this, Yun Sui was stunned for a moment, but the daze on his face was quickly suppressed.
"He's not interested in me either."
Lin Chi'an dated many people during his college years, so Yun Sui never told this secret to anyone.
They didn't know what she was thinking.
The place Zhao Lei chose was not far from where they had dinner. After eating, they went shopping in the mall before taking a taxi there.
When I pushed open the door of the box, the first thing I heard was the restless sound of drums, followed by Zhao Lei's ghostly howls.
Yu Qian stood in front and looked at Yun Sui helplessly, as if to say that it was not easy for this person to sing confidently every time.
Yun Sui shrugged and said there was nothing he could do.
After they entered, they found a place to sit down, and Yu Qian immediately took out her cell phone and started ordering songs.
She wants to take away Zhao Lei's position as the microphone master.
Zhao Lei came out of his immersion and turned around to see Yun Sui sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone.
"Sui Sui! Come and sing!"
The sound was so loud that it cut through the noisy drumbeats. Yun Sui felt that many people were looking at her.
She held up her phone, indicating that he had already ordered it.
Judging from his expression, he should understand.
The next song started playing, Zhao Lei put down the microphone and sat next to them.
"What song did you order?" Zhao Lei asked.
Yun Sui showed him the phone screen.
"OK."
Then Yun Sui saw that his song was pinned to the top.
"There's no need for that." She said helplessly.
"I set up this group because I wanted you to relax. I don't know how long it will take for you to finish your song." Zhao Lei said as a matter of course.
This private room is not cheap, and since Zhao Lei is treating us, no one has any objections.
Just some unfamiliar faces looked at her again and again, as if trying to explore the relationship between her and Zhao Lei.
She didn't care.
"Thank you." It's not like they just met, so there's no need for extra formalities.
When "Meeting" appeared on the screen, Zhao Lei handed the microphone to Yun Sui.
This song is at the top of her playlist and she likes the feeling of telling a story in a leisurely manner, which is very comfortable.
When the prelude sounded, without the strong rhythmic drum beats, the whole box fell into a soothing atmosphere.
Yun Sui spoke.
When singing "Cloudy day, evening, outside the car window", Yun Sui suddenly remembered the scene when she first met Lin Chi'an many years ago.
It was raining heavily that day, and he was walking on the road alone without an umbrella. That day she was waiting in the car for her father to buy a birthday cake for her mother.
Just like now, it's a hot summer
"I'm standing in line, holding the number plate of love."
When he sang this line, the door of the box opened and Yun Sui subconsciously looked outside.
Lin Chi'an pushed the door open and looked up, his eyes meeting Yun Sui's.
The only sound left in the entire box was the melody of music.
Yun Sui came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the words on the screen, and continued singing.
After Lin Chi'an came in, he sat in the empty seat next to Zhao Lei and talked to Zhao Lei.
"You're quite early." Zhao Lei said, "Many of the beauties over there came here because they heard you were here too."
Lin Chi'an followed Zhao Lei's gaze and saw the girls opposite him looking up and smiling at him, while others lowered their heads shyly. Lin Chi'an curled the corners of his mouth.
"You're ruining my reputation again." Lin Chi'an leaned back on the sofa, his eyes passing over Zhao Lei and looking at Yun Sui.
She stared at the words on the screen and sang beautifully.
This song suits her very well.
"Zhao Lei, if there are people I don't know here in the future, I won't come over," said Lin Chi'an.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Lei was puzzled.
"There are so many people, I don't know how long I'll have to wait to sing."
"Hey, if you want to sing it, I'll just pin it to the top." Before Zhao Lei could finish his words, Lin Chi'an patted him on the shoulder, motioning him to switch places with him.
After Lin Chi'an sat down, Yun Sui had just finished singing his song.
She noticed the sofa next to her sink and a familiar smell came to her nose.
So he turned around and looked at Lin Chi'an with a smile.
"Don't you want a song?"
Lin Chi'an shook his head, "Later."
Without forcing it, she handed the microphone to Zhao Lei next to her.
quite a while.
Lin Chi'an said: "How come after all these years, you still like to sing this song?"
Zhao Lei changed the music to one with a strong rhythm, which was a bit noisy. Yun Sui subconsciously moved closer to Lin Chi'an.
“This song is the best.”
"Um?"
"With so many people here, I don't want to embarrass myself," Yun Sui said.
After hearing this, Lin Chi'an's brows relaxed and he laughed.
"I still have a lot of idol baggage."
