Song Zhi Xu stayed at the office with some irritation in his heart for the entire day. Before he got off work, he still didn’t know how to go home to face Lin Ran. It was just before he went home that Mu Qingting’s phone call came through and Song Zhi Xu answered it. From the other side he could still hear the voice of greeting, Mu Qingting should be just getting off from work, from the hospital. 

“What’s wrong? Have you found out something?” Song Zhi Xu opened his mouth and asked directly. Mu Qingting rolled his eyes in disgust, apart from Lin Ran’s matter, Song Zhi Xu couldn’t think of other matters.

He was really not important anymore in Song Zhi Xu’s heart. 

As he lightly snorted, Mu Qingting said with some dissatisfaction. “Can’t be check. You come out and accompany me to drink, I’m not happy today.” Song Zhi Xu hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Where?” Mu Qingting froze, although he did want to find Song Zhi Xu for a drink but he did not expect Song Zhi Xu to agree, after all, after having Lin Ran, Song Zhi Xu almost only stayed at home and at work.

“Qingting?” Song Zhi Xu called out again before Mu Qingting suddenly came back to his senses.

After hanging up the phone, Song Zhi Xu looked at the bar’s address sent to him on his phone so he called Lin Ran again, saying that he would not go back for dinner tonight. After all, a bar place like this was not suitable for Lin Ran.

Besides that, he was a little unsure of how to face Lin Ran right now. Song Zhi Xu called Lin Ran and was answered almost as soon as it rang, and soon came Lin Ran’s somewhat cheerful voice asking, “Song Zhi Xu, are you coming home?” 

Song Zhi Xu was silent for a moment, but still said truthfully and honestly: “Ran Ran, I have something to do tonight, I can’t go back to have dinner together with you. I’ll let the assistant bring you dinner,is that okay?”

After Song Zhi Xu said that, Lin Ran also didn’t pester him anymore, but only told him in a small voice to come back home earlier. 

Song Zhi Xu promised him before then the two of them hung up the phone.

Listening to Lin Ran’s somewhat pitiful voice at the end, Song Zhi Xu wanted to go back immediately, but he was still embarrassed and couldn’t control his feelings about it after Lin Ran said something about his nosebleed. 

After hanging up the phone, Song Zhi Xu went out and borrowed the kitchen from the company restaurant to make the dishes Lin Ran liked to eat and packed them up before handing them over to his assistant to send it. Song Zhi Xu drove his car and went to the bar that Mu Qingting had previously mentioned.

When he arrived at the reserved room, the moment he opened the door, the table was full of wine as Mu Qingting had already poured the wine and started to drink. 

When he saw Song Zhi Xu, Mu Qingting waved at him and poured him a large glass of wine and handed it over.

“Come, Old Song [Lao Song] have a drink, it’s been a long time since the two of us had a drink.” 

Song Zhi Xu was somewhat annoyed these days, Lin Ran’s unconscious teasing made him unable to hold on, and on the contrary, Lin Ran ran away whenever he had the mood.

This kind of thing that raised the fire and didn’t care about putting it out annoyed Song Zhi Xu, but Lin Ran naturally knew nothing about it, and Song Zhi Xu couldn’t blame him either, so he could just hold it back by himself. 

Song Zhi Xu tilted his head and finished all the wine in his cup, then asked Mu Qingting again.

“What’s going on?Tell me about it.” 

The two of them had known each other since childhood and had been close, so Song Zhi Xu knew just by one glance that Mu Qingting had something on his mind, so he asked him directly.

Mu Qingting was already a little drunk as he drank one glass after another, and when he heard Song Zhi Xu’s words, he pouted his lips. 

“What else can it be, if it’s not that psycho Xiao Nanyu? In the past, he was still occasionally looking for chances for us to run into each other, but now he is directly and blatantly running to my office. So shameless that I can’t even get rid of him.” Mu Qingting tapped the sofa, “Now, if the people in their department can’t find him, they’ll call my office, obviously… it’s obvious that I don’t have anything to do with him.”

Song Zhi Xu was not surprised at all, pouring a glass of wine for himself and sipping it while speaking indifferently, 

“Qingting, actually Xiao Nanyu is quite nice to you, maybe you can try it with him.”

As a bystander, Song Zhi Xu could see clearly. The only thing that was different about Xiao Nanyu was that he didn’t treat Mu Qingting the same way as he treated everyone else, that was, in front of Mu Qingting, Xiao Nanyu would be a bit of a stalker, “What’s the point of trying? 

I’m a golden bachelor with a lot of flowers and grasses waiting to be pampered,

Why hang myself on a crooked tree?

And what’s more, that Xiao Nanyu is three years younger than me, so I have a generation gap with him.” As he listened to Mu Qingting’s words, Song Zhi Xu unconsciously thought of Lin Ran. Lin Ran was six years younger than him, so there was even more of a generation gap, but he didn’t feel it at all.

Thinking about it, Song Zhi Xu advised him, “It’s alright, it’s only three years, it’s almost the same, there’s no generation gap, you can try it with him, maybe after the trial, he’ll think you’re not good and give up, then at that time, you can still spoil the flowers and grassess the flowers and grassess.”
