For those who confused, it's the side story in a modern setting~Because of the limited ingredients, Shen Yanbei made a very simple two dishes and one soup: hot and sour potato shreds, braised pork, tomato beef soup.
The man was embarrassed to just sit and wait to eat, so he stood aside and occasionally handed him a plate.
When Shen Yanbei washed his hands and came out of the kitchen, the dishes and chopsticks were already on the dinner table and the rice too.
Shen Yanbei was not polite, He directly sat down. When he lifted his chopsticks, he first gave the man a piece of braised pork.
"Try it!"
The man was taken aback. "Thank you..."
The young man looked at him expectantly, and his eyes burning hot. The man unnaturally lowered his gaze, picked up the braised pork, and stuffed it into his mouth.
What he first felt was the springy meat. His teeth chewed the meat. This piece of meat had no greasy fat. When he kept chewing, you could feel the meat gradually melting...
These sensations progressed layer by layer, and the strong and inviting scent poured straight into the nasal cavity. Gu Changfeng pertinently praised, "It's delicious." This food was a hundred times better than he made, even the taste was in the same level as a restaurant chef made.
Shen Yanbei just laughed. After his mother passed away, he never cooked anymore. So at first, he was afraid that his craftsmanship wouldn't be the same as before.
"Then try this soup?" Shen Yanbei pushed the soup over.
The man was a little embarrassed. "I can do it myself..."
"It's okay. Just eat!" Shen Yanbei said with a smile.
They were a stranger who had just met, but he took care of him so enthusiastically. It didn't look like someone who just met for the first time...
Unexpectedly, the words Shen Yanbei said before that he was someone that he liked suddenly appeared in his mind. The man hurriedly took the food with his chopsticks, didn't dare to think deeply.
These a bowl of rice and three kinds of dishes were eaten by two big men until nothing remained. After the meal, the man took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
It had been a long time since he had a good home-cooked meal like today, which made him eat more. In the morning, he was injured and bleeds, which made him became lazy. All he wanted to do right now was to lie down for a while. But it was not good laying in other people's homes, especially in the home of a straight guy who knew that he was interested in him.
So when the man came out, Shen Yanbei said, "Thank you for your kindness! I won't disturb your afternoon, so I'm leaving!"
The man glanced at him, took out his wallet, and pulled out some money. "You can use it first to find a place to stay."
Shen Yanbei and his quiet black eyes looked at each other for a while. He intended to say that he didn't need money, and he had a place to live. But under the man's gaze, he actually took the money in a wicked manner.
"You don't worry I'll leave without paying back?" Shen Yanbei raised his eyebrows.
"I know you." The man said seriously.
Shen Yanbei looked at his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised. "This is not fair, isn't it?"
The man frowned slightly, not sure what he meant.
"You know me, but I don't know you."
The man was stunned.
"I don't even know your name." Shen Yanbei sighed. "If I meet you on the street in the future, I don't know how to call you if I want to greet you..."
"Gu Changfeng. My name is Gu Changfeng."
The man's low voice sounded, Shen Yanbei smiled slightly and said, "Gu... Changfeng?"
The man nodded, his eyes deep. Shen Yanbei smiled lightly, "Then I'm leaving, Changfeng."
His tone was natural and familiar as if had been calling it thousands of times.
Gu Changfeng was stunned and then sent him out with a hum.
Shen Yanbei waved his hand and turned around without reluctance.
Gu Changfeng stared at him for a long time until the young man's straight and sturdy back disappeared from his sight before turning around and entering the house. The room was as quiet and dull as it had always been. It seemed that the young man who was sitting at the dinner table picking food for him with a smile just now was an illusion.
Turning on the TV, Gu Changfeng sat on the sofa without expression. Although his eyes were staring at the TV, his thoughts flew to nowhere. He didn't come back to his senses until a familiar name came on the TV.
"Hello, Mr. Shen, why do you want to dissolve the father-son relationship between you and your only son, Mr. Shen Yanbei? Does your statement have legal effect?"
"Mr. Shen, you and Mr. Shen Yanbei have dismissed the father-son relationship. Then to who will you hand over God of Cookery Group to inherit?"
"Mr. Shen, do you have another son?"
Gu Changfeng frowned tightly and stared at the middle-aged man surrounded by reporters on the TV. The middle-aged man in suit and leather shoes looked quite majestic, but his facial features were not like Shen Yanbei's.
Hearing the reporter's question, the middle-aged man didn't say a word but got into the car under the protection of bodyguards.
The fist beside him could not help clenching, Gu Changfeng's eyes were full of worry.
This morning, Shen Yanbei told him that he was swept out of the house by his father. He only thought that Shen Yanbei was quarreling with his father. He didn't expect things to be so serious...
Gu Changfeng became even more worried when he thought of the young man who was making food and vegetables for him with a bright smile before. Father Shen was so unfeeling, he directly froze Shen Yanbei's bank card, and the real estate under Shen Yanbei's name might have been transferred. No wonder Shen Yanbei said that he was homeless now...
Gu Changfeng felt a little grateful, fortunately, he had given him some money for emergency needs. It was just that people like Shen Yanbei who was used to the life of a rich young master might also have high requirements for the quality of life. It was estimated that this little money will not last long...
The heart that had just been put down lifted again.
In fact, Shen Yanbei's situation was not as bad as he thought, and Shen Yanbei himself did not take this matter to heart. Shen Yanbei didn't leave immediately after walking out of Gu Changfeng's enclosed compound. Instead, he walked around and found out the situation of the nearby vegetable market before stopping a taxi back to his usual apartment.
The old man Shen wanted him to give up by severing the relationship between father and son, but he was not the kind of dude who couldn't do anything. Even though his financial source was cut off, he wouldn't be in despair. Not to mention that he still had his own job and savings, even his mother left him a lot of "money for marriage"!
It was a pity that this "money for marriage" could only be kept.
Shen Yanbei threw himself onto the bed, feeling very depressed. It was hard to meet a person you crush, but the other person was actually a straight man! He had to be very restrained in his words and deeds for fear would make the other party being disgusted!
Hey! Although it was only a short time to get along, he could see that the other person had a good personality! Such a strong man with a good figure and a good personality had always been what he wanted to look for...
"Gu Changfeng..." Shen Yanbei looked at the white ceiling in a daze.
His arms, waist, hips, legs..., he didn't know what kind of work he did to develop such a good figure. But if he worked as a security guard at the bar he used to go to, most of them came out of the army...
It was said that the army was a passionate person, it was not rare to like the same sex. Moreover, Gu Changfeng didn't show any obvious dislike and didn't take seriously his confession. Perhaps he had seen this kind of this in the army so he was more being tolerant of this?
Thinking of the women's electric car that Gu Changfeng drove before, the small flame in Shen Yanbei's heart was suddenly extinguished. That car must belong to his girlfriend! But he lived in the house which had one bedroom and one hall, and he didn't see any woman's trace there...
Shen Yanbei's mind was messed up. He suddenly thought that the other party was a straight man and had a girlfriend, on the other hand, he suddenly thought that the other party did not show disgust for him and that there was no trace of a woman in the place where he lived.
"F**k you uncle!" He suddenly covered his head with the quilt. Shen Yanbei closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it.
What was the use of thinking so much? Direct action was the absolute principle*!
*actions can change things and create value.
"Ding..." His phone rang, showing a text message came in. Gu Changfeng, who was drinking water, opened his eyes and looked a little complicated.
"Your card with the end number of 6868 XX month XX day XX bank income (another bank remit) XXXX yuan, balance XXXXXX yuan. (XX bank)"
He had just given him money yesterday, and today it had been paid back directly to his bank account. Holding the phone tightly, Gu Changfeng lowered his eyes to cover the dark light under his eyes. He thought they had been friends after having eaten a meal and told each other their names, but...
The lips were pressed into a straight line. Gu Changfeng opened the thermos cup in a daze and took a big sip of water.
"Coach!"
Hearing a clear voice calling him, Gu Changfeng turned his head to face a bright smiling face. It was a fatty boy with white skin, a round face, black eyes, and a very bright appearance.
"Hello." Gu Changfeng greeted gently. He met the boy one night when he was going jogging. At that time, several hooligans blocked the boy in a corner and robbed him. So he beat them all away. The young man looked at him with admiration and kept asking him to accept him as a student and teach to practice martial art. But he was just a fitness coach, so he declined him. Who knew that the next day he would meet the young man downstairs in the gym, and then the young man became his student.
"Coach, what kind of sports are we going to do today?" The young man looked at him eagerly.
Gu Changfeng put the water down and said, "Did you feel uncomfortable in any way?"
"There is no discomfort, but the hands and feet are so weak that it can hardly be lifted." The young man said truthfully.
"It's like this at the beginning, just get used to it in two days." Gu Changfeng stood up. "Go do a warm-up first."
"Yes!" the young man replied, obediently doing the warm-up. He bent over, kicked, and turned sideways. The young man did it seriously, looked clumsy and cute.
This was the first official job he had since retiring, and the salary was not bad too. Before finding a better way to earn a living, he planned to work as a fitness coach for a while. After so many years in the army, he returned to society again, he was still unable to adapt. His temper was tedious, so it was still hard for him to deal with such a complicated relationship in this society. Therefore, simply teaching the students to cultivate their bodies was the best choice for now.
Two more students came to the class one after another. Gu Changfeng taught with all his heart and responsibility. It was almost eleven o'clock after cleaning up. So it was time to get off work.
"Coach Gu, do you want to join us having a drink?" The two male coaches in the gym asked him.
"No, thank you." As a result of years of military life, he lived self-discipline and was not that curious or enthusiastic about the city's rich nightlife.
The muscular, flat-headed male coach looked disapproving. “Young people have to go out to play more when they are young and get to know beautiful girls more, or they will not be so free when they get married in the future!”
"True, Coach Gu!" Another coach also echoed. "The younger sister there is so pretty and gentle, why not you follow us?"
Gu Changfeng declined with a faint smile. Their gym rule was more formal, the owner was strict, and the atmosphere was better. So there was no messy relationship between the coach and the students. Even though after getting off work, both male and female coaches loved to go to nightclubs, but this was everyone’s freedom.
After saying goodbye to his colleague, Gu Changfeng took the elevator to the garage on the first floor to pick up his small electric car.
The location of the gym was in the downtown area, with pedestrian streets and shopping malls nearby. He also could see the brightly lit night view of the city as soon as he stepped out of the main road. Gu Changfeng calmly crossed the busy street and turned into the nearby residential area, intending to take a shortcut home. When passing a certain community, a cat suddenly emerged from the flowerbed next to him. Gu Changfeng had no time to brake, so he had to move the car sideways.
"Scram!"
The stern male voice sounded extremely clear in the night, Gu Changfeng suddenly raised his head. Under the dim street light, the young man standing next to the tree with one hand in his pocket had cold eyebrows. His tight lips showed his extremely unhappy mood. Two tall men in black suits were standing in front of him, and one of them said, "Master, don't difficult us."
Shen Yanbei snorted. "You can't understand human words?"
Another man in a black suit was talking with someone. After hearing the order of the other party, he hung up the phone. Then he winked at his companion, they slowly moved their hands to Shen Yanbei.
Gu Changfeng's face was sinking. He stopped the car and rushed to block the man in the black suit. The man in the black suit was taken aback, he didn't expect someone coming out to help.
"Changfeng!" Shen Yanbei was surprised and delighted.
Gu Changfeng had only time to make an "um". His head tilted, avoiding the fist thrown by the opponent, and at the same time, a right uppercut hit the man in the black suit.
"Uh..." The man in the suit screamed painfully while clutching his abdomen.
The other man hurriedly rushed over when his companion was beaten. Gu Changfeng knocked him out with one kick.
"Ah—" The man in the black suit slammed straight into the flower garden.
Shen Yanbei's eyes widened. So handsome!
The man in the black suit clutching his abdomen knew that he encountered such a difficult opponent. He didn't dare to continue and hurriedly helped his companion to run away in a messy appearance.
"Go back and tell your boss, since the relationship between father and son is severed, then I have nothing to say with him. Don't bother me again in the future!" Shen Yanbei shouted to the man in a black suit. "I don't care about his stinky money!"
After shouting, Shen Yanbei felt that most of the anger in his heart had disappeared. Looking back, Gu Changfeng's dark eyes were looking at him.
"How can you be here?"
"Just passing by." Gu Changfeng said truthfully.
Shen Yanbei's eyes fell on his women's electric car, and he asked carelessly, "This car is yours?"
Gu Changfeng shook his head and nodded. "It's mine." His house was sub-leased to him by a girl. The girl asked him if he wanted this electric car when she was going to return to her hometown. It happened that he was short of a transportation tool, so he bought it for a few hundred dollars.
Shen Yanbei thought sourly: He must have bought this car for his girlfriend! Maybe he just sent his girlfriend home!
Gu Changfeng saw that his face was not so good, probably it was because of the man in the black suit just now.
Shen Yanbei grinned reluctantly. "Thanks for helping."
"You're welcome." Gu Changfeng walked to his electric car and exhorted, "You must be careful in the future and try not to go out alone at night."
"Okay. Be careful on the road!"
Seeing Gu Changfeng's figure disappear into the night, Shen Yanbei sighed heavily.
Such a good and handsome man was not his...
