Chapter 112 I'm Just Touching Myself

Yue Renge hung up the phone, and walked slowly behind the bar, where Li Mu was squatting to pack the boxes that he had just opened.A pair of leather shoes appeared in the middle of the field of vision, Li Mu raised his head, and Yue Renge looked at him with a smile.

"What?" Li Mu asked.

"It's Lao Zhao." Yue Renge said, "He asked how many we have now, so send them to him first, and he is willing to help us."

Yue Renge smiled and shook his phone, "Look, have we taken another step towards success?"

Li Mu clapped his hands and stood up, "I'll deliver the goods! I know where his home is."

Yue Renge grabbed him, Li Mu turned his head puzzled.

"Let's go together." Yue Renge said, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

Zhao Shengyan's house is not very far away.5 minutes away by car.Li Mu was familiar with the road, and when he got out of the car, he checked the bag a little bit.

"It's solid," Yue Renge said with a smile, "don't worry."

Zhao Shengyan's house is that kind of apartment building, with a dozen households on the first floor.After not coming for a long time, Li Mu felt a sense of bleakness.Many people still have garbage bags at the door, and it seems that they are all piled up, and it is not easy to go out and downstairs on weekdays.

He found the house number of Zhao Shengyan's house, hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Yue Renge.Yue Renge smiled and rang the doorbell for him.

"Who is it?" Zhao Shengyan kicked and stomped the ground, muttering as he opened the door.He has lost a lot of weight, and there are already some tough lines on his face.His hair was long too, his beard was unshaven, and his chin was covered with green stubble.The whole person looks a lot more mature.

When he saw Yue Renge at first sight, he yelled loudly, "How did you get here so fast! Tell me! Are you just wandering downstairs of my house--" The second time he caught sight of Li Mu, his mouth was opened wide, for a long time Only then did I make a sound.

"Damn it! Li Mu! Why are you here?! Didn't you go home??!"

Someone opened the door in the corridor, poked his head out and looked this way in surprise.

"Come in!" Zhao Shengyan scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm so excited, I'm disturbing the people."

Probably many men who live alone have this kind of virtue. It is not dirty and messy, but it is far from neat.Zhao Shengyan quickly pulled out a garbage bag, and swept all the garbage on the table into it.He took another paper towel and wiped it roughly, freeing up a small space, "Hey, put things here first."

Li Mu glanced at it, probably Zhao Shengyan didn't go out much for several days.The room is a scene of random desolation—it’s not that there is no clean place. A small incense table is set up next to the TV cabinet, and a small incense burner is placed to light incense.There is a photo frame next to it, and it seems to be cleaned every day to keep it clean.

"You don't go out, what are you doing at home all day?" Yue Renge threw a freshly sealed can into his arms, "Come on, this is the can I told you about."

Zhao Shengyan narrowed his eyes and looked at the can, "How did you do it?"

"Before I bought a machine to seal cans." Yue Renge explained, "Now I have nothing to do, so I use it."

Zhao Shengyan nodded, glanced at Li Mu's back, and asked in a low voice, "He did it for you." There was a bit of playfulness in his tone, "Not bad, when will it start again..."

"No, he just came back for a walk," Yue Renge said, "Just came to help..."

"Tch." Zhao Shengyan shook his head, "Cheating ghosts? His house is more than 1000 kilometers away from here, why go out for a walk when he has nothing to do? What's more, Huadu is in such a situation now. come over."

"Who are you talking about whose brain was squeezed by the door?" Li Mu walked over slowly, "Brother Zhao, what's the matter with you? You didn't even open the bottle of wine I brought you earlier."

Zhao Shengyan was taken aback. Seeing that Li Mu hadn't had a fit, he showed an embarrassed smile, "Hey, how can I be willing to drink such a good wine! Another day, another day when we get together and open this bottle liquor."

"I don't know when we will be able to get together." Li Mu was a little sad again, but soon he cheered up again, "It will be fine, let's do what we can do first. It took me a long time to seal this can of."

"Then what can I do?" Zhao Shengyan stopped joking and became serious.

"You just drink," Yue Renge said, "the taste effect of canned wine is different from that of ready-to-drink wine. These wines are all packed an hour ago, and you are responsible for tasting them. what a difference."

"Since we are going to do it, we should do it more carefully." Zhao Shengyan thought for a while, and said, "You might as well make a few more wines, and design variables according to time and storage methods. Let's choose the most suitable canned wine, storage The duration and storage method, if feasible, we will work together to promote a wave."

Zhao Shengyan also came from a science and engineering background. At the critical moment, the DNA of designing variables for experiments was activated.

Even if the bar is not open, the wine must be drunk.Life is so hard, but you have to keep going.The three reached a consensus on cooperation in the slightly messy little room. Although they didn't know if the career would have a future, they decided to do it without hesitation.

There were not many vehicles on the way back, just two or three vehicles. In the winter of Huadu, in the afternoon when it was not a holiday, such desertedness was indeed a bit too much.The vehicle drove slowly all the way, because there was nothing important, so everything slowed down unconsciously.

Li Mu was driving the car, but he muttered to himself.When did Zhao Shengyan have such a good relationship with Yue Renge?Although the two of them theoretically should have an intersection, but in Li Mu's cognition, the two of them are capitalized "unfamiliar".

"Recently, Lao Zhao and I have been talking a lot," Yue Renge said, "After you left, I had a fight with him."

"You and him?" Li Mu was a little surprised.

"Yeah." Yue Renge nodded, "I know, he has a good relationship with you. The two of you knew each other before. At that time, I thought that you were probably instigated by him to participate in the competition, and I didn't have a good impression of him."

At first, Yue Renge thought that Zhao Shengyan was interested in Li Mu, and he was more or less hostile.Even though the two are regarded as colleagues in a certain sense, and there are some overlaps in work, they have not been able to get close.

On the contrary, after Li Mu left, they really had a deeper contact.

Only then did Yue Renge realize that he had misunderstood people deeply.

After arguing, talk again.Chatting and chatting, they couldn't help drinking, and said some heartfelt truths. The two drunks finally staggered and called themselves brothers and became friends.

"Old Zhao is a man who values ​​loyalty and arrogance," Yue Renge said, "There are not many people who can look up to him. He told me that apart from Liang Chuan, the only person he has come into contact with in this industry is you. "

Li Mu didn't know that Zhao Shengyan gave him such a high evaluation in private, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and then heard Yue Renge say: "I admit, I am narrow-minded. It has always been like this. Including the previous...competition."

Li Mu's heart skipped a beat, he has been unwilling to think about this matter, and he does not want to bring it up again.Even though facing Yue Renge now, he doesn't have too much bad feeling, and even has more good feelings, but the aborted match still left him with deep trauma.

"I've always been a bit self-righteous." Yue Renge took a deep breath, raised his head and stared ahead, "It's the same with feelings. I always want to plan a better and more perfect life for the other party. I hope the other party is well. Even sometimes... disregarding other people's wishes." He smiled, "In the end, I'm just moving myself."

Li Mu wanted to refute, but hesitated for a moment, and chose to remain silent.

"Old Zhao is right. I am not good enough for you. You have a bright future. Leaving Dionysia and going to work elsewhere, even if you don't do this business, will be a good choice. In this world There is no perfect option, as long as you choose it yourself, you don’t regret it.”

Li Mu's heart was overwhelmed, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, blindly mixed together, and it seemed that there was a hand tightly holding his heart, infinitely sour and painful, squeezing his air inch by inch, making him unable to breathe angry.

Yes, he obviously has a better choice.He can lie at home, and think of ways to have fun with those rich second-generation friends who don't know what to worry about. As long as he wants, he can go home and open a bar now-it doesn't matter whether he makes money or not, as long as he is happy.

But why is he still coming?

Could it be that he wanted to see Yue Renge's downfall?Or is it trying to be an inferior savior?

No, it is not.

"What do you want to say?" Li Mu's hands trembled a little, and he drove the car into the parking space of the bar.The car stopped.Neither of them got out of the car in a hurry.The seat belt is still fastened, looking very upright.It seemed as if he had just returned, but also as if he was about to leave.

The two didn't look at each other, they just stared ahead silently.Yue Renge seldom confessed himself like this, he wouldn't, and only at such moments would he speak his mind to Li Mu.

Li Mu has always felt that Yue Renge is far away and that he is a nice person, but he doesn't know where that sense of alienation comes from.Maybe it's because his goodness is too standardized, the result of highly precise self-control.

But now Yue Renge seemed extremely real.Because of his fragility, but also because of his exposed, irreparable flaws.He is a living person, not a perfect god aloft.He will feel lost because of difficulties, and also rejoice in small successes.

It was only when he was with him that Li Mu truly realized that he was living in this damned cruel world full of infinite hope.

"I want to say..." Yue Renge let out a long sigh of relief, and unfastened his seat belt, "I'm sorry for the harm I caused to you before. I think the opportunities I've given you are limited... Can you come back and help Me, I am also very happy. But I will not let you pay for nothing. Although we are not in an employment relationship now, I will pay you according to the standard of three times the salary of the holiday. I will write you a note and cover the bar official seal, if I go back on—"

With a "snap", Li Mu unbuckled his seat belt.

He turned sideways and pressed Yue Renge's shoulder.Warm breath gushed out, and Yue Renge smelled a faint scent of jasmine first.

It was from Li Mu, the smell of jasmine.Yue Renge didn't move, because Li Mu's lips had already been kissed.

He blinked blankly, and after a while, Li Mu let him go.

"I have no objection to triple the salary." Li Mu stared at Yue Renge's face, watching his eyelashes flutter up and down like butterfly wings, "I came back this time, I don't want to see your jokes, nor do I want to save you. If Yes, I want to contribute to the survival of Dionysus. And..."

and also.

The indescribable, throbbing mood has been written on his face.

Yue Renge held his hand tightly, not letting him continue talking.Li Mu hesitated for a moment, but held his hand instead.

The sun shrouded the entire world, like light golden wine.Yue Renge's heart was clenched, he quietly turned his face away, not wanting Li Mu to see his tears.
