Between people, there is a process from strangeness to familiarity.
Even babies are not exempt from such a process with their parents.
No one’s child is familiar with his or her parents from the moment he or she is born.
It is also human nature to develop a love for each other over time.
It was the first time for Wu Jun to chat with Hou Ting openly and without any constraints like today.
It was also the first time for Hou Ting to chat so much at once with two men other than her girlfriends.
Before meeting tonight, the two had quite a few concerns.
It was thought that with less meals with Ma Si Yu or Moonlight, it would inevitably be awkward for the two to meet and eat alone in private for the first time.
Or sit together, but could not find a common topic to talk about.
The reality was the opposite of what was imagined.
The two people not only did not feel awkward, but even talked happily.
The feeling was like breaking free from some kind of invisible shackles.
The topic of conversation between the two also gradually moved away from Ma Si Yu and Moonlight, their mutual friends.
Talking about their respective hobbies and interests, talking about their respective ways of leisure and entertainment.
The two sat together tonight and said more words than the two had said in the five years or so they had known each other before combined.
Unconsciously, very consciously, like water flowing into the river, the two of them got high on chatting.
So much so that Wu Jun almost forgot about the main event of tonight.
Ding Ding Ding!
The mobile phone in his pocket received several messages one after another, which interrupted the two people’s high chatting state.
Wu Jun took out his mobile phone from his pocket and took a look, several messages were sent by Ma Si Yu.
“Wu Jun! How are things going? Has it progressed to that point? Moonlight and I are waiting to send a video call!”
“Wu Jun! Where is everyone? You’re not drunk, are you?”
“Give me a break, believe it or not, I’ll fly back to strangle you!”
Below these three messages is a row of small emoticons of fire.
Wu Jun looked dumbfounded, and only then did he remember the process of doing what he had agreed with Ma Si Yu before.
He had asked Hou Ting to the hotel, the first part of a three-part series.
The second part was to send flowers and a birthday cake as well as a birthday gift as a surprise.
The third part was Ma Si Yu and Moonlight sending a video call as an egg.
Although the two of them couldn’t be there in person for various reasons, they were still very attentive to Hou Ting’s birthday party and arranged it properly.
Wu Jun was so focused on chatting that more than an hour had passed since he entered, and things were still in the first part of place!
Wu Jun hurriedly replied to Ma Siyu on his mobile phone, placating her with a few words, telling her that things are progressing, don’t be impatient.
Ma Si Yu sent a few hammer to the brain emojis as a small warning.
“What’s wrong Wu Jun? Is there something urgent? If there’s something urgent, let’s chat here today, I’ve almost eaten, there’ll be plenty of chances in the future.”Hou Ting thoughtfully proposed to leave after seeing Wu Jun start drumming on his mobile phone.
“I’m fine, a few words have already been said.”Wu Jun raised his hand and glanced at the watch he was carrying on his wrist, looking at Hou Ting he joked, “It’s not even eight o’clock yet, it’s still early, why is Sister Ting in a hurry to go home? Could it be that someone at home is looking forward to returning home? Afraid of checking in?”
If it was before today, Wu Jun would never joke with Hou Ting like this, before the two were familiar with each other, but not to the point of joking with each other.
The feeling of familiarity is still mixed with a little bit of rawness.
Tonight’s meal was like a ripening agent between the two, and this time it was completely ripe.
“I’m a female bachelor, a female man, going back is also a lonely house, which is what people expect to return.”Hou Ting smiled shyly and rolled a very cute white eye, “Unless the house was burgled.”
Hou Ting’s little blank stare was not only not offensive, it was rather pleasing to the eyes.
Wu Jun’s body was like a jolt of electricity.
Sure enough, a beautiful woman could give a pleasing visual experience even if she rolled her eyes.
“Haha …… then Sister Ting can be dangerous, after seeing Sister Ting, it is estimated that there is one hundred million cash in the house, and the burglars will turn a blind eye.”Wu Jun was amused by Hou Ting’s sentence, no thanks to the radio host, a mouth is a ready-made paragraph.
Hou Ting was speechless for a while when she heard Wu Jun’s words, “Brother Wu Jun, you think a person has 100 million in savings!”
Making a small joke, dispelling Hou Ting’s thoughts of leaving, Wu Jun then got up and excused himself to go out, “Sister Ting, you wait for me for a while, I’ll go to the bathroom.”
“Well, go ahead, I’ll wait for you.”Hou Ting nodded, but did not feel anything strange.
Going out to go to the bathroom on the way to eat was normal again, who didn’t have a third emergency.
As soon as Wu Jun went out, a waitress on duty outside the private room door greeted him in a respectful tone.
“Mr Wu, how can I help you.”
“Talk to me over there.”Wu Jun pointed to the corner of the building and took the lead to walk over there.
“Oh, okay Mr Wu.”The waiter was unsure, but did not ask much and followed closely behind.
The two of them walked to the place at the corner of the building one after the other, before they dodged out of the aisle and stopped in their tracks.
Wu Jun asked the waiter, “Have the things I ordered been delivered yet?”
The waiter confirmed with him, “Mr Wu, you are talking about the flowers and birthday cake for Miss Hou, right?”
“Well, yes.”Wu Jun nodded.
The waiter smiled, “The flowers and the cake were delivered almost together about half an hour ago, and the nine-layer cake has already been assembled in the kitchen on the ground floor, so it can be sent up at any time.”
“Well, I’m troubling you guys tonight, I’ll go downstairs to get some things first, and you can ask someone to send everything up first.”Wu Jun finished speaking and lifted his leg towards the stairs.
He had driven Hou Ting along with him when he came.
The birthday gift he prepared for Hou Ting, as well as the parcel that Moonlight sent to him, were all still in the car at this moment and hadn’t been taken out.
Ten minutes later, Wu Jun returned upstairs carrying two Hermes shopping bags and an unopened parcel.
At the turnaround point of the building, two waitresses were carrying a bouquet of flowers as big as a bath tub.
Two young chefs in white chef’s outfits and tall chef’s hats pushed an aluminium trolley the size of a single bed.
On top of the trolley was an appetising-looking nine-layer cake made of a combination of flavours from multiple bells!
Passing diners were attracted by the flowers and the big cake, and many of them took out their mobile phones to click pictures.
“Wow! Such a cake, could it be that company is having an opening celebration?”
“You’re silly, today is New Year’s Day! It’s a national holiday, that stupid company is having a celebration today!”
“The first floor of the Stone Gate Inn is full of high-class private rooms, I’ve never heard of that company having a celebration on the first floor, I feel it’s more like a birthday celebration for someone, right?”
A big man of 1.9 metres said, “Don’t need to feel it, it’s supposed to be, isn’t there a blessing word written on it? Can’t you guys see it?”
The crowd looked at the big man’s eyes for a while speechless, big brother, nine layers of cake, who can see the top ah!
This dude is not a fancy height show, Versailles-style pretender!
A girl looked at Wu Jun with two bright eyes, with an envious face: “I envy the girl who had a birthday, such a big and beautiful bouquet of flowers, with such a big cake, plus such a handsome boyfriend, she must have saved the galaxy in her last life!”
The girl’s companion’s eyelids suddenly jumped, pointing at the gift Wu Jun was carrying in his hand, and said in surprise: “Erm, you guys look at the shopping bags in his hand, both of them are Hermès shopping bags ah! It can’t be two Hermès bags!”
Hermès big “H” big trousers standard don’t too good recognition, as long as not blind can see.
Flowers, big cake, gifts, all together, Wu Jun always feel as if there is something missing.
Right, the atmosphere, there is still a lack of atmosphere!
Doing anything is all about the atmosphere.
Whether the atmosphere is good or not, it has a great relationship to the success or failure of things.
Seeing Wu Jun standing still, as if thinking about something, the waiter took the initiative to ask: “Mr Wu? Do you still have any dissatisfaction, or any other orders?”
Wu Jun thought about it, suddenly had an idea in his heart, looked at the waiter and asked, “Well, yes, can you give me some people here?”
“How many people do you need?”The waitress asked with a bewildered look on her face, she was a bit unable to keep up with Wu Jun’s thinking, not knowing what he wanted.
Wu Jun said, “Of course the more the better, the faster the better.”
“I’m very sorry Mr Wu, I don’t have that power, I’ll contact Manager Xu and ask her to dispatch it for you.”The waitress was just a foreman, she couldn’t take an idea of what to do, and immediately drew out the walkie-talkie from behind her waist to contact the manager.
Manager Xu, after hearing Wu Jun’s request, attached great importance to it, and without saying a word, began to gather people.
The Stone Gate Inn was a five-star hotel no matter what, there were still some people.
This branch, from waiters to chefs, to all levels of management there are more than a hundred people.
Excluding the chefs and waiters who couldn’t be deployed to maintain the operation of the shop, Manager Xu brought more than twenty people upstairs to join Wu Jun.
Seeing the vast group of waiters gathered in the first floor, the shop also caused a small stir, also thought that the first floor happened what major things.
Manager Xu stood in front of Wu Jun and asked with a serious face: ”Mr Wu, do you think these are enough? If it’s not enough, I’ll call and contact other branches to transfer people over.”
“Enough, enough, enough…… “Wu Jun saw Manager Xu’s team and laughed bitterly for a while.
When he said the more the merrier, he was just saying it in passing, never thought Manager Xu got so many people over.
“What about a while later, like this ……” Wu Jun explained the plan he just brewed in his mind to Manager Xu.
“No problem, no problem, okay, it can be ……” Manager Xu nodded his head repeatedly as he listened.
After the explanation, Wu Jun handed the three gifts he was carrying in his hand to Manager Xu to hold as he pushed the door back inside the private room.
“Sorry ah Sister Ting, I made you wait for a long time.”
Wu Jun said he was sorry and lifted his leg back to the table to sit back in his seat.
The expression on his face was the same as it was before he left the house, no breaks could be seen.
Hou Ting wore a smile on her face and joked, “Good guy, after going out for so long, I thought you had escaped the bill by going to the bathroom.”
Wu Jun laughed: “On the way here, I said that Sister Ting is treating me, why would I want to escape by urinating, it’s inexplicable to escape!”
Hou Ting glanced at the leftovers on the desktop that were no longer hot, changed the topic and said, “The food is cold, order two more hot dishes, the first time I invited you to dinner, I have to let you eat and drink enough.”
Hou Ting said, she got up from her seat, it can be seen that she is not being polite with Wu Jun, she really wants to add more dishes.
Without waiting for Wu Jun to say anything, she had already crossed the small half table and walked next to Wu Jun.
Hou Ting’s quick character of doing what she said and not dragging her feet was the same as Ma Si Yu.
Plus, both of them also had a slim figure of over one metre seven, with the same delicate features.
The two even often cut the same hairstyle.
People who didn’t know each other often thought of the two as twin sisters.
“Sister Ting, you sit down, even if you add dishes, you don’t need to go out and call someone.”Wu Jun got up and stopped Hou Ting.
Definitely can’t let her go out ah.
A bunch of people were ambushed at the door waiting for them to send a signal ……
“Oh? Can people hear you if you shout inside the house?”Hou Ting returned a small blank expression to Wu Jun.
“Like this.”Wu Jun wore a smile on his face and clapped his hands, “Pah-pah ……”
As the secret signal agreed upon by Wu Jun and Manager Xu was given out, the lights in the private room suddenly went out, plunging it into darkness in an instant.
“Ah!”An unexpected scream resounded within the private room.
While Wu Jun was startled, he felt that there was an extra person in his arms.
Immediately after, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and the flickering candlelight re-illuminated the private room that was plunged into darkness.
“Wishing you a birthday ……”
“Wishing you a birthday ……”
“May your birthday fall fast ……”
Outside the door pushed in a group of people, those who had seen what was going on and those who hadn’t.
One of the most untidy birthday wishes songs ever was born.
Manager Xu, who took the lead in rushing in, saw the state of Wu Jun and Hou Ting inside the room, his eyes were wide open, his mouth wide open, and his eyes were dumbfounded.
Hou Ting’s arms were wrapped around Mr Wu’s neck and her legs were clamped around Wu Jun’s waist, hanging on him like a sloth hanging on a tree in a zoo.
The picture was so beautiful that the group of people who flooded in at the doorway turned their heads, not daring to look directly at them.
The expression on Wu Jun s face was equally complex, with surprise, bewilderment, embarrassment, and some …… enjoyment?
Wu Jun is a normal man, Hou Ting is a beautiful woman.
In this situation, if Wu Jun didn’t have a tiny bit of reaction, then he wouldn’t be a normal man.
Hou Ting heard the movement at the door, heard the birthday song ringing in the private room, slowly raised her head from Wu Jun’s arms and saw the room full of candlelight and …… people.
Swish, Hou Ting’s face instantly filled with blood and became red, and her legs slipped off Wu Jun’s body.
Then turned around and turned her back to the crowd, shy!
Gosh!
In front of a room full of people, what had she done to Wu Jun?
Embarrassment, capitalised embarrassment!
At this moment, Hou Ting felt that she had died socially, disgraced to her grandma’s house.
This scene today, without a doubt, will be an unforgettable famous scene in one’s own life, famous scene!
“I’m sorry ah Ting, I didn’t know you were so afraid of the dark, and reacted so much ……”
Things were already obvious, Wu Jun realised that he had botched it and hurriedly admitted his mistake.
