Su Zhengliang shook his head hurriedly, trying to withdraw his hand, "Shaoqi, it really doesn't matter to me, it's just a burn, it's okay."
You Shaoqi ignored Su Zhengliang's words. Instead, he clenched his palms more vigorously and pulled him into the bathroom without any explanation, startling several male customers inside who were relieving themselves.
You Shaoqi turned on the faucet with a sullen face, put Su Zhengliang's burned fingers under it and rinsed it for a long time. He didn't turn off the faucet until the red fingertips gradually turned into light pink. Then he carefully pinched his fingers and looked at them again and again to make sure they were not in the way.
Then let go.
In these short minutes, Su Zhengliang said nothing, but pursed his lips under the surprised gazes of the people next to him, and allowed You Shaoqi to grab his fingers.
Logically speaking, it is not surprising that You Shaoqi cares about him, but his excessive worry and exaggerated behavior made Su Zhengliang puzzled.
The two returned to the dining table and continued to eat. Since their behavior had attracted other people's attention just now, even the seemingly normal interactions and conversations still attracted several sideways glances from several female customers who liked to watch the fun, making Su Zhengliang feel uncomfortable all over.
.
You Shaoqi picked up some vegetables and put them into Su Zhengliang's bowl. Pingze's voice was filled with concern, "Does your hand still hurt?"
Su Zhengliang shrugged disapprovingly, "I'm fine, no need to make such a fuss."
"I'm not making a fuss. You got burned. As a friend, shouldn't I care about you?"
"But," Su Zhengliang glanced at the other diners around him and said cautiously, "just now you held my hand and let so many people see it, I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on you. After all, you are also a public figure now, so I think
It would be better if we keep a certain distance."
You Shaoqi's expression changed. He looked directly at Su Zhengliang and asked, "Why? Could it be that my concern bothers you so much?"
Su Zhengliang hurriedly explained, "Shaoqi, that's not what I meant. I just think that two men being too close in public can be misunderstood."
"Yeah?"
You Shaoqi smiled bitterly and stuffed a few pieces of vegetables into his mouth, chewing them hard, "Sure enough, in your heart, I'm still not as good as him."
Su Zhengliang opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "Shaoqi, what are you talking about? In my heart, you will always be my best friend, and your position cannot be replaced by others."
"Yeah, I'm your best friend."
But, I want more than just these...
The indescribable feeling of loss was revealed in You Shaoqi's eyes. He turned his head bitterly and asked pretending to be relaxed, "Zhengliang, why did you ask me out today?"
"Do you still remember my sister?"
You Shaoqi nodded slightly, "I have an impression, what's the matter?"
"My sister has been single since she broke up with Lin Xiluo. My mother wants you to meet her and see you two..."
The chopsticks in You Shaoqi's hand paused for a moment. He endured the anger in his heart and refused coldly, "Zhengliang, stop talking. It's impossible for Miss Su and I to do this."
When Su Zhengliang saw You Shaoqi rejecting him, he thought he was embarrassed because of the relationship between friends, so he quickly persuaded you, "Shaoqi, don't jump to conclusions so quickly. You two haven't had much contact with each other, how do you know it's inappropriate?"
? And you are in your thirties, and you are still single. Your uncle and aunt have always been worried about your affairs. So, if possible, I think you should try to date my sister. If it is true,
If it doesn’t work, it won’t be too late to tell you later.”
You Shaoqi's brows furrowed even more. He put down his chopsticks and said with a straight face, "If I say it's impossible, it's impossible. Zheng Liang, please stop trying to persuade me."
Su Zhengliang saw that his persuasion had no effect, and instead made You Shaoqi's face grow darker. Thinking of his actions just now and his strange reaction now, he asked in confusion, "Why? Shaoqi, you never refuse me.
Why did you reject me twice tonight?"
"I…"
You Shaoqi was stunned. He looked at Su Zhengliang's eyes and didn't know how to answer.
"Actually, if you really don't like my sister, just say so. I don't blame you."
"Zhengliang, it's not that I don't like your sister, it's just..."
Speaking of this, You Shaoqi suddenly stopped.
"Just what? Shaoqi, tell me?"
You Shaoqi said solemnly, "I already have someone I like, so I can't promise you."
Su Zhengliang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this answer, "I thought you were going to say something. It turns out that you already have someone you like, so no wonder you refused to agree. But you are really cunning enough. You have kept it secret until now, even from me.
Do not know at all."
You Shaoqi forced a smile and did not answer.
Su Zhengliang was happy for You Shaoqi from the bottom of his heart, so he noticed something was wrong with the other party's mood, "By the way, Shaoqi, when can you let me get to know you? I'm very curious about what kind of girl you like.
You Shaoqi lowered his eyes, trying not to look at the face that always attracted his attention, "You won't see him."
"Ah?" Su Zhengliang didn't understand for a while, "Shaoqi, what do you mean? Why can't I see her?"
You Shaoqi smiled mockingly, "Because he doesn't know my feelings for him at all. He already has someone else in his heart, and," the deep voice paused for a moment, "he is also planning to introduce me to someone else."
Su Zhengliang was even more confused. He felt that what You Shaoqi said was incomprehensible, "Shaoqi, this person...she is..."
You Shaoqi raised his eyes and looked deeply at Su Zhengliang, his deep voice filled with imperceptible helplessness, "Zhengliang, I have done so much and said so much, don't you still understand who I am talking about?
"
Under such scorching gaze, Su Zhengliang's right hand holding the spoon inadvertently trembled, and even his voice trembled as he spoke, "Who?"
"you."
Su Zhengliang's heart suddenly trembled. He stared at You Shaoqi dumbfounded and couldn't say a word for a while.
After a moment, he forced out an extremely unnatural smile, pretending to be joking and said, "Shaoqi, you must be joking, right? This joke is not funny at all."
"Zheng Liang, I'm not kidding," You Shaoqi said seriously, "Everything I said is true."
Su Zhengliang's fair face was full of shock and disbelief. He murmured, "No, how could you like me? You are my best friend, and you actually treat me..."
You Shaoqi said softly, "I didn't lie to you, I love you."
Su Zhengliang shook his head in horror, trying to deny this fact, "No, Shaoqi, it can't be done. We are both men, how can we..."
Seeing Su Zhengliang's reaction, You Shaoqi asked, "Why can't I do it? If I can't do it, then why can Lin Xiluo do it? Su Zhengliang, tell me!"
You Shaoqi's low roar caused everyone in the restaurant to stop talking, and everyone's eyes focused on these two people.
"I…"
Su Zhengliang was stunned again. He changed the subject with a trembling voice, "Shaoqi, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first... Waiter, pay the bill..."
You Shaoqi grabbed Su Zhengliang's hand and said, "Don't leave."
Su Zhengliang tried his best to break free from You Shaoqi's entanglement. He looked at the people around him staring at him in great panic, "Shaoqi, let go, others are looking at us..."
You Shaoqi took out the money from his pocket and put it on the table, pulling Su Zhengliang out of the restaurant.
