CH 112

The next morning, Lu Xiao was woken up by a severe headache.

He doesn’t know if the quality of the wine last night was not good enough. His head was so painful that it felt like it would explode.

When he opened his eyes, he found that he was in an unfamiliar bed. The plain-colored curtains were drawn tightly, and the surrounding arrangement was a simple gray tone, obviously not where he lived.

Lu Xiao looked at his body and immediately his eyes widened – he didn’t have any clothes on him!

“Fuck!” he shouted, and hurriedly wrapped his body with the quilt.

Where the fuck is this? He won’t be drunk and mess around, and be robbed of money by strangers, right?!

There was a sound of footsteps outside the bedroom, and then someone pushed open the door.

The moment he saw Ye Cheng, Lu Xiao’s eyes widened.

Ye Cheng glanced at him, and said lightly: “The clothes are drying, on the balcony, after washing up, come out to eat.”

Lu Xiao sat on the bed in a daze, and the remaining memories gradually came to his mind… His face flushed red and he finally crawled out of the bed to wash up.

After a few minutes, he left the room while tying the buttons, and saw Ye Cheng sitting at the dining table. There is a pile of breakfast takeaways on the table, and it is estimated that he does not know how to cook.

Lu Xiao walked over unnaturally, looked around and said, “This is your home?”

“Rented house.” Ye Cheng peeled an egg and said.

“I… slept here last night?” Lu Xiao asked uncertainly.

Ye Cheng divided the egg into pieces, and threw the yolk aside, “Otherwise.”

Lu Xiao thought silently, he doesn’t like to eat egg yolks, he must remember.

Seeing his expression, Ye Cheng knew what he was going to ask, and explained: “You threw up last night and got it on your clothes… Don’t look at me like this, although I’m gay, I won’t take the opportunity to touch you. What are you doing thinking?”

“Oh, so that’s it.” Lu Xiao lowered his eyes slightly disappointed.

For a second, he did try to ask him, “I really didn’t do anything?”

Ye Cheng didn’t answer him again, he reached out and pushed the porridge in front of him.​​

Lu Xiao didn’t continue to ask questions, and silently lowered his head and drank porridge. He doesn’t know why, but the air pressure around his body seems to have dropped a lot, and the whole person seems tired.

After quietly finishing the meal, Lu Xiao asked, “Did you ask for leave today?”

“Well,” Ye Cheng packed up the tableware, “I’ve been here for a long time.”

Lu Xiao nodded: “I will tell Luo Ming, let him not count your attendance.”

“No.” Ye Cheng replied.

He took the garbage together and didn’t look at Lu Xiao during breakfast. As if overnight, his atmosphere returned to when they first met, and it was even a little stiffer than then.

Lu Xiao clenched his fists and said, “Do you want to go to the company together?”

Ye Cheng straightened up and said, “No, you go first, I’ll be there in the afternoon.”

“……okay.”

Lu Xiao walked to the door, stopped and said, “Thank you for your care last night.”

Ye Cheng bit his lip.

Lu Xiao for a long time did not hear his response, he slightly gritted his teeth, pushed the door and left.

It wasn’t until he closed the door that Ye Cheng sat down on the chair as if deflated, and was completely powerless.

He released his hand suddenly, and the contents of the garbage bag fell to the ground.

His wildly beating heart suddenly lost its shackles, and it slammed into his chest frantically. Thump, thump, loud enough that he himself would find it noisy.

He tried his best to cover it up just now, fortunately, Lu Xiao didn’t see the clue. At this moment, he suddenly relaxed his vigilance, and even his hands were shaking slightly.

The scene from yesterday appeared in front of him again, lingering on him.

After Lu Xiao was kicked away by him, he climbed up with both hands and feet. This time, he looked a lot more obedient, and he no longer mentioned the illegal word “mask”.

He was burnt by alcohol, his whole body was hot, and he couldn’t sleep.

After a while, he tried to touch Ye Cheng’s cheek with his fingers.

Ye Cheng was shocked and looked at him with a cold face.

Lu Xiao swallowed and murmured, “When you’re not fierce, you’re actually pretty good-looking.”

If this sentence came from someone else’s mouth, Ye Cheng wouldn’t be surprised at all, but if it came out of the mouth of a straight man who is said to be extremely demanding on blind dates, it would be a bit weird.

Lu Xiao shook his head again, denying himself: “No, it’s not ‘pretty’, you are the most beautiful person I’ve ever met… Damn, Strange, is it because you are beautiful that I kept dreaming of you again and again?”

Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, but it took a while to realize that Lu Xiao thought he was dreaming.

“You…” He said helplessly, but stopped.

——If he thought he was dreaming, then “he dreamt of him many times”, what happened?

“You often dream of me?” Ye Cheng asked suspiciously.

Lu Xiao looked at him in confusion and said, “Hmm, I dreamed about you once when I saw JK. I dreamed about it again after that day at the convenience store, and I dreamed about it a few days ago. Today… You see, you still ask me, I’m dreaming right now. ”

Ye Cheng didn’t know what happened to JK, but after hearing what he said, his heart beat faster.

“What did you dream about me doing?” he asked tentatively.

Lu Xiao licked his dry lips and said slyly, “Guess what.”

“…”

Ye Cheng racked his brains, thought of an answer, opened his mouth, and was about to say.

Lu Xiao suddenly put out his index finger against his lips, “Shh-when you don’t say anything, I don’t think you hate me that much.”

The hot fingertips touched his cool lips, and it seemed that his heartbeat was instantly connected. Ye Cheng stared at Lu Xiao blankly and saw him approaching little by little.

“Since I’m dreaming, I should be able to do whatever I want.”

“Don’t reject me like you usually do, be good.”

“Well, you smell good, Ah Cheng…”

Ye Cheng’s eyes opened wider and wider, his eyelashes trembled like wings, and in the end, he slowly hugged him without hesitation.

Everyone says that it is easy to cause trouble when drinking, but the one who loses his mind should be the one who is drunk.

As for him, he wasn’t drunk, but he didn’t stop him.

When night falls, it is the time when there will be the most conflict.

Obviously, he can refuse when he raises his hand, clearly he knows that the other person likes the opposite sex, and clearly he can maintain the last boundary.

Ye Cheng sat at the dining table, holding his forehead, his heart was in a mess.

At noon that day, he did not go to the company.

Lu Xiao knew that he didn’t go, but he didn’t call to ask.

Since that day, they have been complete strangers, like they didn’t know each other.

Lu Xiao never shared an elevator with him again. After a long time, Ye Cheng realized that there was a dedicated elevator on the floor leading to high-level leaders, which means that leaders generally do not communicate with employees. They have their own elevator. On the day he met Lu Xiao for the first time, the elevator broke down, and then there was that embarrassing encounter.

But every subsequent “random encounter” was because Lu Xiao deliberately took the elevator for ordinary employees.

If Lu Xiao didn’t want to, he would never have the chance to “meet by chance” again.

In the days that followed, until Ye Cheng successfully got his graduation certificate, he didn’t have too many interactions. Canteen, office, conference room, he almost never encountered him.

Ye Cheng also gradually came to understand that maybe Lu Xiao was really afraid. He doubted what he did to him that day, otherwise he wouldn’t hide from him like this.

On the surface, he went to work step by step, completed his graduation defense, and bought a house near the company. Life seems to be going on without a hitch.

But one day, Shi Jiaxu came to Nandu and asked him to go out for a drink.

After Ye Cheng drank too much, he felt a numb pain in his heart.

It felt like that time when he deliberately ate mangoes when he was a child and was sent to the hospital because of allergies, but in the end he still didn’t feel the pain until his father didn’t came.

‌It hurts, it hurts, as if the heart has been hollowed out.

He held the wine bottle to cover his face, and it didn’t take long for his fingers to get wet.

Shi Jiaxu had just been dumped by his boyfriend, and he started to cry together with him.

In the end, they cried by the river. At one point, passers-by thought they were going to jump into the river, so they almost called the police.

Ye Cheng thought that he probably liked Lu Xiao before.

Maybe it was the first time he saw him in the bar, he pretended not to care, but in fact met his eyes several times.

Perhaps when he learned that he was his superior, he was worried on the surface and deliberately ignored the secret joy in his heart.

Perhaps it was because he heard others say that he politely rejected many girls, and his uncontrollable excitement made him unable to deceive himself any more.

He has never been a tolerant and generous person. When others cross the line a little, he will decisively fight back. As for Lu Xiao, he made a lot of concessions and indulgences, and he loved it.

When this concession and indulgence disappeared, it was not the person who was indulged, but the person who indulged him.

It’s absurd, it’s ridiculous.

Ye Cheng didn’t expect that his first love came so suddenly and ended so hastily.

He indulged for a while, and finally lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, thinking it was time to move on.

The next morning, he was woken up by the set alarm.

Only then did he remember that the company organized outing team building today, which was jointly organized by several departments.

Ye Cheng was in a hurry to get dressed and washed. After telling Shi Jiaxu a few words, he quickly took a taxi to the company.

Fortunately, he was only a few minutes late and caught up with the company’s bus.

Luo Ming rebuked him a few words and told him to get in the bus quickly.

Ye Cheng didn’t sleep well last night, so he closed the curtains and went to sleep after sitting down.

This time, the team building was held in a relatively far place, in a mountain manor, so he had to stay there for one night.

It was only after he got in the bus that he remembered that he didn’t bring any clothes or chargers.

Forget it, he can ask to borrow from someone.

Ye Cheng fell into a drowsy sleep when he heard a girl say something to Peng Gushu next to him, and then someone slapped his shoulder.

He didn’t care and continued to sleep.

When he was in the bus, he found a girl from the personal affairs department sitting next to him, named Xu Xiaohui.

This girl was introduced to him by Yu Xiaowei, saying that she wanted to add him to WeChat. Ye Cheng didn’t talk much after adding her.

Xu Xiaohui blushed and said to him, “Are you awake, did you sleep well?”

“It’s okay.” Ye Cheng nodded politely.

She followed behind him in the bus, and Yu Xiaowei gave her a “come on” mouth.

The company has chartered three buses, and everyone happily discussed going to barbecue and pick vegetables.

Xu Xiaohui followed Ye Cheng with great interest, and said, “Boss Luo, hsaid he wants to make a bonfire, why don’t we pick up firewood together?”

Ye Cheng followed everyone to the villa, and casually said “um”.

Just as he walked to the gate of the villa with the wooden plaque hanging, he suddenly stopped. Xu Xiaohui didn’t stop and almost hit him.

He saw a familiar figure standing at the door.

Lu Xiao dressed casually and was staring straight at him with his hands in his pocket. After seeing Xu Xiaohui next to him, his brows were deeply entangled.

He doesn’t know if it was Ye Cheng’s illusion, but he always felt that he had lost a lot of weight, and there was no more flesh on his cheeks.

Luo Ming turned around with a smile and said loudly, “Mr. Lu invited me to come to his villa today for team building. Don’t be restrained, let’s play.”

Everyone cheered: “Thank you, President Lu!”

“Wow, this villa belongs to President Lu, how amazing?”

“This is also beautiful, and the air is good.”

Lu Xiao didn’t care, looked at Ye Cheng without saying a word, and occasionally glanced at Xu Xiaohui.

Ye Cheng was a little hairy when he stared at him, but after thinking about it, Lu Xiao ignored him first, so why would he be so embarrassed to stare at him?

With a cold face, he passed him by without looking sideways.

Lu Xiao secretly clenched his fist, and the blue veins on his forehead jumped.
