Chapter 80

There was no response for two minutes after sending the text message. Li Wenyu was a little thirsty, so he got up and grabbed a bottle of drink from the shelf. When he looked up, he saw Yang Cheng with a smile on his face through a row of colorful drink bottles.

Li Wenyu was a little dazed. It was such a coincidence that they met twice in a short period of time.

Yang Cheng, wearing a very simple summer dress, walked around from the other side of the shelf, as if he could read minds: "What a coincidence, right? I think it's a coincidence, too."

Li Wenyu mumbled slowly before remembering Yang Cheng's studio. In fact, it's less than two kilometers away from here, so it's normal to appear here. He slightly curved his lower lip: "It's a coincidence. Do you live here?"

"Yes, it's close to the studio. The community environment is also good." Yang Cheng smiled and shook the shopping bag in his hand. "I was cooking at home at noon. I ran out of seasonings and had no choice but to go out and buy them. Then I saw you. The weather is so bad for you. Why are you still going out?"

Li Wenyu smiled helplessly: "I made an appointment for an interview today, but I didn't expect it to rain so hard."

Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Is your interview over now? The rain will definitely not stop for a while, why don't you go sit at my house for a while."

"No," Li Wenyu shook his head, "I have a friend who will come to pick me up in a while. Just leave first and I'll wait here for a while.

Yang Cheng pointed to the rain that showed no sign of stopping outside: "It must have been raining so hard for your friend to come here for a long time, and it's not safe on the road." Li

Wenyu then looked at the bad weather outside the window, feeling a little worried. Dazed: "Yes...I asked him not to come over just now, but..."

Before he could finish his words, his phone started to vibrate. Li Wenyu looked down and saw that it was Pei Xin's call back.

Li Wenyu smiled apologetically at Yang Cheng and pressed the answer button.

There was no such noisy rain in the office on the other side of Pei Xin. It was quiet and quiet, which made his voice clear and calm: "Is the interview over?"

Li Wen Yu nodded, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he saw that Yang Cheng had originally bent over. The line of his lips slowly straightened, and his face suddenly became stagnant. He realized that Yang Cheng might have heard Pei Xin's voice.

Li Wenyu turned sideways with a slightly stiff expression, and spoke in a low voice but very quickly: "It's raining too much, so don't come over. I'll go back when the rain stops."

There was the sound of the pages of the folder being turned over. Pei Xin said: "I have a meeting here, and I asked Uncle Zheng to come over."

"No, you asked Uncle Zheng not to come over either. It's not safe to drive in this weather." Li Wenyu originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, Pei Xin wouldn't listen to him at all, so he simply hung up the phone.

He turned off the phone screen, and Yang Cheng's expression returned to normal. He took a few bottles of the same drinks from the shelf as Li Wenyu was holding. The two of them went to the cashier to settle the bill together. Before Li Wenyu could open the payment code, Yang Cheng grabbed him and settled the bill together.

Yang Cheng tilted his head and looked at his face, grinning and joking: "I'm just buying you a drink, your expression is so solemn?"

Li Wenyu didn't feel that he had any expression, but subconsciously smiled along with him: "No, I I'm just wondering when the rain will stop."

"Don't think about it, it won't be until the afternoon at least," Yang Cheng said with a smile, "Let's go. I told you last time that I didn't have time to invite you to dinner. I don't have anything else to do today. I just want to show you my skills when you come to my house."

Li Wenyu was not in the mood to have lunch with anyone at this moment, but he also knew that it was too rude to refuse people again and again. The reason was that the chance encounter was such a coincidence. People don't even have a chance to hide.

He pulled the corners of his lips and smiled: "It's okay if you don't mind the trouble. I'm not very good at cooking, so I can only help you cut vegetables and wash dishes."

Before the wind and rain stopped, Yang Cheng walked out, opened his umbrella, and turned around leisurely. He smiled: "Don't worry, my cooking is not that good."

Under the extreme weather, most of the road conditions in City A were extremely bad. The wipers were running back and forth frequently, but they still couldn't block the crackling water droplets. A long line of vehicles blocked the road ahead, and the flashlights from the front and rear were blurry but still dazzling.

Zheng Guang has been driving for many years, so he will naturally not be irritated or flustered by bad weather. He glanced at the building in front of the intersection, then at the time, and suddenly heard a short whistle not far away, which sounded like a car rear-ended him.

Zheng Guang rolled down the window to see what was going on, but saw a familiar figure walking out of the building. In the blurry rain curtain, Li Wenyu and another person held an umbrella and left towards the other end of the street, but the distance was too far and Zheng Guang could not see what the person looked like.

Just as he was about to get out of the car, the phone in his hand rang.

Pei Xin's voice was always calm, but without any emotion: "Uncle Zheng, have you received the call?"

Zheng Guang watched the black umbrella disappear around the corner of the building, and had no choice but to tell the truth: "Mr. Pei, Mr. Li seems to have met a friend. , left early."

"Friend?" Pei Xin's voice was low but not vague, as if he could crush these two words.

Zheng Guang was a little nervous and spoke hesitantly, but he heard Pei Xin utter a few words coldly: "Follow me."

...

Yang Cheng's house was indeed very close to the building, and the two of them walked away within five minutes. Arrived downstairs of the community.

After getting out of the elevator, Yang Cheng took out the key and opened the door. He asked Li Wenyu to go in first and then found a new pair of slippers. "See if you are wet. Do you want to change them? The rain is really too heavy."

Li Wenyu Shaking his head: "No, I didn't get wet."

The house is quite big, but Yang Cheng probably lives alone and there are very few things.

Li Wenyu glanced briefly and asked casually: "Don't you live with your parents?"

Yang Cheng pretended to sigh as he changed his shoes: "How dare I live with them with my schedule? It's so annoying to be nagged. Especially after building this studio, the day and night changes will definitely affect their rest, so I just moved out."

He poured a glass of water for Li Wenyu: "You sit down for a while. Is there anything you want to eat? I've been stocking up on food for several days. There's everything in the refrigerator."

"Thank you," Li Wenyu sipped his water, feeling a little warm in his stomach. "I can do it. You can do it. Whatever is convenient."

Yang Cheng nodded, seeming to be thinking about what to cook. He paused for two seconds before saying, "Okay, you can watch TV for a while. I'll be ready soon."

Li Wenyu responded. After saying hello, he turned around and saw the scattered game controllers and fruits he had bought but didn't have time to deal with on the coffee table. He tidied them up a little and then followed them into the kitchen.

It was too dark, so the lights were turned on in the kitchen. Yang Cheng was chopping vegetables skillfully in an apron. A strong arm was exposed under his rolled-up black long sleeves. He stopped and looked back at him: "What's the matter? I want a drink." Water?"

"No," Li Wenyu smiled, "Let me see if I can help."

Yang Cheng changed the direction of the carrot on the chopping board and said lazily, "I don't need your help, but you can. If you're bored, you can chat with me for a while."

Li Wenyu hummed, picked up the apron hanging by the door and tied it, then divided the dishes prepared by Yang Cheng and put them by the sink to help wash them. " I do have something to ask you."

Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows in confusion: "What?"

Li Wenyu quietly watched the water rush through the vegetable leaves and asked, "After I left school that year, Have you met Pei Xin?"
