064: The Tragedy Caused by the Mooncake

When Wang Cheng got his driver's license, it was already the end of September. The autumn equinox had passed, and there were only two days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival was a national holiday, and he got three days off, so he went back to the apartment.

Chu Yifeng got off work early because he had something, but he said that he’d be back in time for dinner, so Wang Cheng made dinner for two.

As soon as the meal was set on the table, the apartment door opened, and Chu Yifeng and walked in and put two bags down.

"Boss, you just came back, you can change your clothes, and wash your hands before we start eating." Wang Cheng said, and went into the kitchen again.

Coming out of his room, Chu Yifeng had replaced his wrinkle-less suit with light gray home clothes, and sat on a chair near the dining table with a pair of slippers under his feet. After dinner, when they sat on the sofa watching the news and current affairs as usual, Chu Yifeng handed the two bags he brought to Wang Cheng.

"This is mooncake? Hasn't the company already issued it?" Wang Cheng took the bag. Just looking at the bag one could see that there were moon cakes in it, but Fan Qi already sent them moon cakes this afternoon. Cheng Cheng also said that, based on the box, the moon cakes were a certain brand and the price was not low.

"It was given to me by others." Chu Yifeng seldom celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival. He was not interested in moon cakes, which were sweet and greasy at first glance. Today, he wanted to refuse the moon cakes sent by others, as in previous years. But after seeing the moon cake, he accepted it.

Wang Cheng raised an eyebrow and said, "If someone gave it to the boss, the boss should keep it for himself. What should I do with it?"

"I never eat moon cakes."

"Wow, boss, you are not a Chinese. Mid-Autumn Festival is our festival, how can we not eat moon cakes; even one bite will do." Wang Cheng gave him a hard stare.

"I am of half-foreign origin."

"I can't see it at all." Wang Cheng was surprised. When he saw him for the first time, he felt that Chu Yifeng's facial features were a little deep, unlike the softness of the Chinese, but he didn't expect it to be in this respect. His hair was black, yet brownish-yellow, slightly closer to gold; he assumed it was dyed. This year, young people who dyed their hair various shades and colors of black could be seen all over the street, so he took it for granted.

Chu Yifeng didn't explain much.

Wang Cheng made up for himself, then calmly accepted two boxes of moon cakes. "Oh yeah, boss, are you going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Probably." Chu Yifeng wasn't sure about this. He had already foreseen that he would definitely be called back home during the festival this year. In previous years, he was abroad, so those people couldn't anything about it.

"I will go home the day after tomorrow, and when I come back, I will bring you some local specialties. There are many fruits this season. I will bring you some natural ..."

As the time passed, the moon quietly appeared.

The next day, Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng started packing after eating the breakfast they bought from the morning market. This time they brought a lot of things. The company and Chu Yifeng gave three boxes, each of which was not small, and he planned to go to the supermarket and buy some other things. There only seemed to be more items when he thought about it. The cell phone in his pocket rang, and Wang Cheng felt like an electrician.

"Wei Dandan, is there something wrong?"

"Can't I find you even when I'm fine?" Wei Dandan said, "I’m just teasing, are you free now?"

"Yes, do you already have a holiday?"

"I have three days off. The hotel originally offered three times the salary and wanted us to stay overtime on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I didn't agree. The Mid-Autumn Festival should be spent with my parents at home, don’t you think?"

"You're right. Oh, what did you call to say?"

"Can you come out now? I have something to tell you." Wei Dandan did not answer his question directly.

Although Wang Cheng felt it was strange, he had to go out in a while anyway and agreed. Wei Dandan was pleased and told him an address, which was not very far, but still took more than half an hour, walking. Wang Cheng decided to drive. He hadn't officially driven by himself after getting his driver's license.

Arriving at the destination, one could see it was a café with a warm atmosphere. Wang Cheng saw Wei Dandan beckoning to him and walked over.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, I just arrived." Wei Dandan gave him an unrestrained smile. She did not need to go to work right now, so she was very different from when working. The formal hotel clothing looked both formal and rigorous, and her hair needed to be pinned up. Now she put it down and her hair curled around her shoulders. She was wearing a blue dress that looked beautiful on her.

"Want to drink coffee?" Wang Cheng asked, seeing that she had nothing to drink.

Wei Dandan nodded and said, "A cup of matcha coffee."

Wang Cheng called the waiter and ordered a latte and a matcha coffee.

There were not many guests at this time. After a bit, the waiter brought two cups of coffee. The hot drinks exuded a fragrant aroma.

"I'm sorry about that incident. I didn't know your mother would answer the phone and cause you trouble. I'm sorry." Wei Dandan looked up at him while stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon, her eyes apologetic. She later wanted to explain but couldn't find a good opportunity.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Wang Cheng thought she wanted to say something else. It had been so long, and he didn't expect that she would still remember; if she hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten.

"Well, did your mom misunderstand?"

Wang Cheng froze for a moment, remembering that after his parents knew that he had a connection with a high school female classmate, every time he went back, they would enthusiastically ask if he had any contact with others. Later, he was annoyed by the two elders. He told them that he had no thoughts about Wei Dandan and had no contact with her. They felt it was unfortunate and had to give up. These things had passed and there was nothing left to say. He thought of this and shook his head.

"No, I've made it clear to them."

Wei Dandan reluctantly smiled, suddenly taking a gift package from her side and handing it to Wang Cheng. "This is a Mid-Autumn Festival moon cake. I have collected a lot recently, but I don’t like moon cakes so I gave them all out. This is the last box, for you. I hope you don't mind."

Wang Cheng was very surprised and received a moon cake again; he suddenly couldn't help crying in his heart. In the past, he only ate moon cakes made by himself. He never received gift packages like moon cakes, but this year he received four boxes in a row. He had even previously rejected Li Yu's extra moon cakes they were stuffing him.

"Thank you, then I will accept it." Wang Cheng took the moon cake package right as Wei Dandan was thinking he wouldn’t accept it and she would be embarrassed.

Wei Dandan was glad to see him accept it.

At the same time, there was a sports car braking at the crossroads outside the cafe. The driver happened to see the two people talking and laughing through the window. Wei Dandan chose a position in front of a large floor-to-ceiling glass window, regardless of the people outside. Still, everyone inside could clearly see that Chu Yifeng just encountered a traffic light, and did not expect to stop to see this scene.

In the cafe, Wang Cheng suddenly felt a gaze, but when he looked out, he saw nothing. After a while, the feeling disappeared, so it may have been an illusion.

After bidding farewell to Wei Dandan, Wang Cheng diverted to the supermarket and returned after buying many supplements.

In the apartment, he looked at a pile of things on the ground. Unless one had four hands, it was estimated they would have to run two or three times to complete the move. The moon cake from Wei Dandan was also among them, and he would definitely not eat it in the apartment. He didn’t like sweets, but moon cakes were both sweet and savory. Generally, eating one or two was enough, but to be honest, the moon cakes sent by Chu Yifeng were too gorgeous and luxurious. Four boxes of moon cakes were put together. Wei Dandan’s moon cakes weren’t too dim and shabby.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang, who came this time?

Wang Cheng thought of the sports car he saw in the parking lot when he came back, and it was Chu Yifeng who opened the door. "Boss, haven't you gone out to work? You came just right, I am lacking manpower. There are too many things, I can't move them alone."

After Wang Cheng turned and said this, his left arm was suddenly fastened, and before he could respond, Chu Yifeng had dragged him in, his other hand clasping his chin. The strong, handsome features enlarged in his vision. He kissed him on the lips. In addition to feeling sparks, he even drooled.

‘I never thought I would be kissed again by a man.’

Wang Cheng was not drunk. He had his consciousness. In this sober state, he missed the best opportunity to resist, when he couldn't react the first time. His tongue was sucked, and he felt numb, the hormonal breath of the other male filling his nasal cavity. He didn't know he was so sensitive to this smell. The last time he smelled it, he was drunk.

When Chu Yifeng released him, Wang Cheng held his chest with one arm, his eyes narrowing slightly, and he gave him a punch with the other.

"Your uncle!"

Chu Yifeng dodged in time. Wang Cheng's second punch had already been thrown. His fists did not lose to those who were professional. It was difficult for ordinary people to break through Chu Yifeng’s defense, but Wang Cheng did. Two people went and fought as if in a den.
