Li Chengxiu glanced at it, but didn't care. He carried a bag of leftovers to breakfast tomorrow and lowered his head and walked forward.

As he passed by the car, the car horn suddenly rang. He was startled and looked at the car window in surprise.

The car glass slowly descended, and Li Chengxiu was not far away, and suddenly felt a stream of air conditioning coming out of the car.

The young Mr. Shao poked his face out of the car, waved his hand and greeted him, and smiled and said, "I'm here to pick you up."

Li Chengxiu took several deep breaths and looked at him in a daze.

When the visitor saw that he was still stupid, he frowned, opened the car door and walked to him, stretched out his hand: "Master Li?"

Li Chengxiu came to her senses awkwardly, looked at the hand that reached in front of her, and subconsciously wanted to reach out. When she raised her arm, she found that there was a plastic bag hanging on her right hand. She quickly changed the plastic bag to her other hand, and then gently reached out to shake it with him.

This man's hands were dry and powerful. For some reason, Li Chengxiu felt that his strength was a bit deliberate.

Li Chengxiu shouted: "Mr. Shao."

"It's too strange to call Mr. Shao. Li Chengxiu, do you really don't remember me?"

Li Chengxiu felt a little nervous. Although he had guessed that he was the Shao Qun, hearing his confirmation in person still made him feel nervous.

Li Chengxiu raised his head slightly, looked at him quickly, and whispered with her lips, "Remember."

Shao Qun's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Really remember? We have not seen each other for more than ten years. Looking at your reaction that day, I thought you had no impression of me at all. I was quite sad. After all, we were classmates, so there was no need to be so distant. Or do you still hold a grudge against the stupid things I did when I was a child?"

Li Chengxiu's cheeks were hot, and sweat slowly oozed out of her forehead.

Shao Qun deliberately emphasized the three words "small as a child". It seems that if he was still resentful of the harm he caused to him when he was young and ignorant, he would be a little petty and narrow-minded.

Indeed, what can a eleven or twelve-year-old child know? Looking back now, it is not a big deal, and he has long forgotten it.

The terrifying disaster that seemed as if the sky had fallen and the earth had fallen, but now I think about it, it was only infinitely magnified because of my youth. In fact, it was just that. He was still alive and had changed into a city. No one even knew who he was, so how could he hold grudges?

He did not hold a grudge against Shao Qun, but his fear and inferiority complex when facing this person has not changed over the years. If possible, he would not even want to stand side by side with him.

When colleagues who came out of get off work together, they had to take a few glances when they walked past them. Both of them were uncomfortable being seen. When Shao Qun saw that he didn't say anything, he said, "Get in the car."

Li Chengxiu hesitated to look at the car behind him: "What are you doing?"

Shao Qun said: "Talking about work."

Li Chengxiu wanted to tell him that he couldn't talk much after being so late, so it would be better to have another day. But when he thought of delaying and delaying, if he offended Shao Qun, there would be no benefit for him. Since everyone has come, he dared not turn around and leave.

So he nodded and got into the car.

When Shao Qun also sat in the car and brought the car door with him, a smell of oil smoke suddenly filled the narrow space.

In the open parking lot, Li Chengxiu didn't feel that the smell was so heavy, but once he was locked in a closed car, the smell would be gone, and even he felt embarrassed.

Shao Qun wrinkled his nose and lowered the car windows on all sides. His actions made Li Chengxiu even more uneasy, and his face was so red that it could drip blood.

He couldn't help but think that more than ten years ago, he was like this, going to school with a smell of smoke every day. Everyone around him retreated from him. At first, the disgusting expression of his classmates really hurt him, but later he gradually became numb.

Since he worked and had a stable income, he had done himself as clean as possible. But he had just gotten off work and had not had time to take a shower, but he didn't expect to sit with the person who laughed at him at that time.

It seemed as if everything had not changed. Shao Qun was still the noble young man who was always clean and arrogant, and he was still the sissy who ran to school every day with no one's cares. Even he couldn't help but hate himself.

Now he is obviously different, why is Shao Qun still seeing such a embarrassed self? He is still so ashamed in front of Shao Qun who is still glamorous.

The champagne-colored sports car slid out silently, and Shao Qun walked quickly along the coast. The sea breeze made Li Chengxiu's eyes almost open. He could only hold on to the seat belt on his chest tightly and endure the nausea.

When she drove to the city, Shao Qun's speed slowed down and the car window also rose. Shao Qun seemed to be holding his breath all the way, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He changed his face that had been tense just now, and smiled at him easily: "It's okay, I'm driving a little fast."

Li Chengxiu shook her head pale.

"Did you have meal?"

"have eaten."

"Then I'll take you to have midnight snacks. I haven't come to Shenzhen many times before, but it may develop here for a long time in the future. I really didn't expect to meet you here."

"We are talking about work?"

Shao Qun chuckled and said, "The sugar water in that restaurant is very good. I don't know if it can catch the eyes of you, the chef. Let's try it first."

Li Chengxiu no longer asked questions. Shao Qun was still the same as before, and he would not be refuted by others. Everything had to be done according to his wishes.

Shao Qun led him into a teahouse, and the waiters knew him, so they took them into a private room in a familiar way.

Shao Qun ordered more than ten things casually, and after ordering, he said to Li Chengxiu: "I'll be hungry when I wait for you."

Li Chengxiu didn't know what to answer, so she could only nod her head stiffly.

Shao Qun looked at him silently, suddenly moved his chair and leaned against him, saying softly: "Cheng Xiu, I can call you that, you have been very nervous. Do you hate me very much?"

Li Chengxiu looked up in surprise, facing his beautiful and bright eyes, her heart beat a few times, and shook her head awkwardly.

Shao Qun said sincerely: "I am actually very happy to meet my former classmates in another place. I have never forgotten you over the years. I was young and ignorant at the time, and I have caused you a lot of trouble. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to you. I didn't expect to see you again. I want to say sorry to you. Are you willing to accept it?"

Shao Qun's eyes and tone were too sincere, so that Li Chengxiu became even more embarrassed when he heard this, and even felt a little embarrassed.

He really hated Shao Qun back then. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have stayed in a hotel as a chef today. He should have been admitted to a good high school or a good university, and would have a completely different life. But after fourteen or five years, he had a more transparent understanding of many things and began to believe in fate. Shao Qun had a distant and vague impression of him, just like he wouldn't hate the child who always robbed him of candy when he was a child. He had long had no memory of this person.

Under such serious and earnest gaze, Li Chengxiu showed a light smile. He felt that the hard knots that had been stuck in his heart from the day to the present have gradually melted. He felt relieved, so he said clearly and without hesitation to Shao Qun for the first time: "It's okay."

Shao Qun's eyes looked at him were extremely bright, making Li Chengxiu feel uncomfortable, so he left his head.

The exquisitely styled desserts were quickly put up one by one, and Shao Qun warmly greeted him to eat.

Li Chengxiu didn't eat much and had just eaten supper. She didn't have much appetite, so she picked up a few of them casually.

Shao Qun asked him about his situation over the years while eating.

Li Chengxiu said lightly that after dropping out of school, he went to work. Later, he said that there were many job opportunities in Shenzhen, so he came.

Shao Qun nodded, was silent for a moment, and said, "After that incident, my family sent me to the UK. I will come back and I have been looking for you, but I can't find it anymore."

When Li Chengxiu thought of the difficulties and embarrassment at that time, she felt so stuffy in her heart. She didn't know what to say, so she said "Oh".

Shao Qun put down his chopsticks and reiterated again: "I'm really happy to see you again."

No one has expressed his sincerity or favor to Li Chengxiu for many years. He is used to being disgusted or ignored. There is a person who can be happy to see him, even if it may be just a polite word, which is a bit flattering to him. Shao Qun's superiority and glamor suddenly becomes less repulsive. Li Chengxiu was in a better mood and slowly said word by word: "Thank you."

"I just want to thank you for helping me."

Li Chengxiu remembered the "main thing" they were going to talk about and asked: "I have no experience in how to do a party."

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to be burdened. There are specific people who can handle the specific things. You just need to be responsible for ordering the menu and what you want to purchase, and then make some preparations in advance. It's enough to prepare the dishes on the same day, which is not far from what you usually cook in a hotel."

Li Chengxiu felt much more at ease when he heard this. He had never done similar work. He only had some references when he received conference groups in the hotel before, but he was still afraid of messing up and his days in the hotel would be even more sad.

Shao Qun told him about how many people would come to the party, the main taste of the dishes, the special dishes that must be found, etc. Li Chengxiu listened carefully.

Finally, Shao Qun said that he would take him to the person in charge of this party for two days, and they would focus on discussing together.

After a meal, Li Chengxiu finally dispelled the nervousness and nervousness in front of Shao Qun and his speech became smoother and more complete.

Shao Qun endured it again and again, and asked, "You didn't speak like this before, why..."

Li Chengxiu was stunned for a moment, and her tongue, which had just been straightened, seemed to have been tied again.

Before he met Shao Qun, he was already taciturn. After dropping out of school, he became more autistic. It was normal not to say a word for several days.

When he was a child, he always played with girls. When he grew up to be able to distinguish between men and women, his whole body, from his behavior to his way of doing things to his tone of speaking, seemed weird and alternative among boys, so he was always ridiculed. In order to avoid being discovered, he could only use silence to conceal it.

The less you speak, the less you can speak. Now you have become unable to speak.

The two of them had a smooth chat, but Li Chengxiu was a little lost for a moment. Shao Qun's reminder seemed to have knocked him back to his original form at once.

Shao Qun also felt quite embarrassed, "I'm just asking casually."

Li Chengxiu lowered her eyes and nodded.

Shao Qun approached him slightly: "But you haven't changed much, you're still the same as before."

Li Chengxiu sat upright and subconsciously distanced himself from him.

"You, too, have not changed much."

Shao Qun curled his lips and smiled: "Do you know? After I saw you that day, I told Dali and the others, do you still remember Dali and the others?"

Li Chengxiu's body shook and her face turned pale.

Shao Qun said to himself: "They are all very happy and want to meet you very much. Dali and Awen are in Beijing and Xiaosheng are in Shanghai. I have always invited them to the party, but they all said they are busy and have no time. When they heard that you are here, they all said they will definitely come. Look, you have a better face than me..."

"No." Li Chengxiu whispered.

"What?"

"No." Li Chengxiu said in a trembling voice.

He didn't even want to see Shao Qun, let alone his friends. He didn't understand what was there to make them happy when he saw him.

When they used to be like a beast, but now they apologize to him as if nothing had happened, have they become old classmates who have not seen each other for many years? When did they be so good that they could laugh frankly?

What happened back then can always be attributed to the fact that he was young and ignorant, so he would have no longer cared about it. If it weren't for Shao Qun's appearance, he would have thought that he would have long since lost.

But now this group of people is going to appear in front of him collectively again, just like chasing the dog he had bitten together many years ago. Even though the group of dogs have grown up and stopped biting people, he still feels scared and still can't help but hate it.

Shao Qun looked at him silently, suddenly raised his hand and touched his hair, and said softly: "If you don't want to see him, I won't let them come."

Li Chengxiu's body shook suddenly and stood up from the chair.

He had not had physical contact with anyone for a long time, and at this time he felt a urge to panic and want to break out.
