Luo Rui's pastry shop finally got the hard decoration done before the Chinese New Year. During the Spring Festival, let the taste dry out, and then start purchasing, furnishing, and recruiting people after the year. Both Luo Rui and Wen Xiaohui lost a few pounds during this period. , I suffered a lot and gained a lot of insight, and finally my work was not in vain.
When Juxing held its annual meeting, it was actually a break-up meal. At the annual meeting, Liu Xing and Xiaoyan announced that Juxing will be acquired and will be restructured and integrated. Everyone in the studio will get reasonable arrangements. Unless they want to find another job, they will still continue to work in the new Juxing. Work. For small employees like them, it doesn't matter who the upper-level boss is, but they all know that Xiaoyan will take away a group of people to set up their own business.
Wen Xiaohui has known these things from Shao Qun for a long time. Since Raven left, he has been hugging Shao Qun’s thigh very seriously. Great development opportunity.
Liu Xing sent each of them a generous red envelope. Wen Xiaohui took the red envelope and turned around and bought his mother a fur coat. When his mother received the clothes, she scolded him for wasting money and looked in the mirror He refused to take it off for a long time.
During the Chinese New Year, Luo Rui and his parents went to Switzerland for vacation, and Wen Xiaohui and his mother cleaned up and prepared the New Year's goods, and they were busy until the 29th of the New Year.
During the daytime on New Year's Eve, Wen Xiaohui was going out with a bunch of New Year's goods.
Feng Yuehua was watching TV with a mask on: "It's New Year's Eve, where are you going?"
"Send me a gift, and I'll be back in the afternoon." He was going to find Luo Yi, he couldn't accompany Luo Yi during the Chinese New Year, at least he wanted to send him some delicious food.
"Come back early, there will be no car if you are late."
"Know."
Wen Xiaohui carried the big and small bags, opened the door with difficulty, and shouted into the room: "Luo Yi, come and pick up the things."
Luo Yi ran down from upstairs and took the bags in his hands: "Why do you bring so many things? I can't eat all by myself."
"It's not all food." Wen Xiaohui kicked one of the bags, "Look, you haven't hung up the couplets yet, so it doesn't look like Chinese New Year."
Luo Yi's house really doesn't have the slightest sense of the New Year, no one, no atmosphere, as deserted as usual.
Luo Yi said calmly: "It's not easy to be alone."
Wen Xiaohui sighed: "It's a pity that I can't spend the New Year with you... But I came to see you on the second day of junior high, okay?"
Luo Yi smiled: "It's okay, you can go and accompany your mother, I'm used to it."
"No one has accompanied you during the New Year before?"
"Mom will be here occasionally, not necessarily." Luo Yi shrugged, "It is said that the greatest meaning of the New Year is reunion. For me, the New Year is a general strike in the whole society, which is very inconvenient."
Wen Xiaohui patted him on the shoulder: "Give me some time, I will find a chance to convince my mother that we will celebrate the New Year together in the future. No matter where you will go to work when you grow up, during the New Year, you will be reunited with your family when."
Luo Yi said with a smile: "When you are by my side, it is when I reunite with my family. It doesn't matter whether it is Chinese New Year or not, so you should hurry back and be with your mother."
Wen Xiaohui rolled up his sleeves: "Come on, I'll leave after posting the couplets. I also brought red lanterns. If you live in a big villa, you need to hang lanterns."
The two found stools and paste, and began to put up Spring Festival couplets. Luo Yi seemed to be quite curious about this matter, and studied the rhymes on the couplets.
"Wouldn't it be the first time for you to post couplets?"
"Yes." Luo Yi said with a smile.
Wen Xiaohui was very emotional in his heart, he couldn't say that Yaya was too irresponsible, he could only try his best to treat Luo Yi well, to make up for his poor childhood.
After pasting the couplets and blessing characters, the European-style solid wood carved gate was completely stained with a rustic atmosphere, but Luo Yi was very happy, saying that it looked festive like this.
"Come on, let's hang up the lantern, this one needs nails."
"I'll do it." Luo Yi climbed up the ladder.
Wen Xiaohui looked at Luo Yi from the bottom up. When Luo Yi raised his hand to nail the nails, the hem of the sweater was pulled up, revealing his flat and strong abdominal muscles. Coupled with those long curved legs, it was really beautiful. Don't want to take your eyes away.
Luo Yi seemed to sense something, suddenly lowered his head, and met Wen Xiaohui's gaze in the air.
Wen Xiaohui was nervous for a while.
Luo Yi smiled slightly: "One more nail."
"Oh." Wen Xiaohui quickly handed it up, but the force was too strong, and the thin nail directly poked Luo Yi's hand.
Luo Yi shrank his fingers, and saw a small stream of blood popping out.
"Damn..." Wen Xiaohui said, "Come down quickly."
"It's okay, it's almost finished."
"No, the nails are so dirty, come down and disinfect them first."
Luo Yi had no choice but to come down, Wen Xiaohui looked at that hand, feeling very distressed, for such a beautiful finger was poked off a small piece of flesh by him, it was a crime. He took out the medicine box, first pressed Luo Yi's wound with an alcohol cotton ball, looked at Luo Yi apologetically, and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Luo Yi said with a smile: "A little flesh injury, there is nothing to apologize for."
Wen Xiaohui grabbed his fingers, feeling very annoyed, he was getting more and more confused about what he was thinking, just like he couldn't understand what Luo Yi was thinking.
After disinfecting, Wen Xiaohui wrapped him in a Band-Aid, and just about to let go, Luo Yi's fingers wrapped around Wen Xiaohui's nimbly.
Wen Xiaohui froze immediately, looked up at Luo Yi tremblingly.
Luo Yi was also looking at him, looking at him with those eyes with deep and indescribable emotions, and said softly: "I lied, I don't want you to go, I really want to celebrate the New Year with you."
Wen Xiaohui felt his heart was hit hard, and his whole body was not quite right.
Luo Yi's body slowly leaned over: "You said you would always spend the New Year with me, but you have a mother now and a boyfriend in the future, will you still spend time with me?" He looked at me without blinking. Wen Xiaohui, "I really want to keep you by my side." His face was already pressed against Wen Xiaohui, the distance between them was less than a punch, Luo Yi lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on Wen Xiaohui's lips.
Wen Xiaohui's heart beat like crazy, and seeing that the two of them were about to stick together, he pushed Luo Yi away violently.
Luo Yi was defenseless and was almost pushed off the sofa. He looked at Wen Xiaohui with a grievance on his expression.
Wen Xiaohui panted heavily, panicked all over his face: "You, what are you doing, Luo Yi?"
Luo Yi wrung his hands and whispered, "I just thought, how can I keep you with me all the time."
Wen Xiaohui said loudly: "No matter what! You are confused, don't you, do you think this is a child's play!"
Luo Yi raised his face, his eyes were very sad: "I just don't know what to do, will you hate me?"
Wen Xiaohui looked at that look, and suddenly lost all temper, he sighed deeply: "How could you have such an idea."
"Because you like men."
"But I don't like my sister's son." Wen Xiaohui said very seriously, "I know you don't like me that way at all, you just... You were too lonely before, I hope I will always be with you. I understand your mood, but this kind of thinking can never happen again in the future, you are not gay, don’t hint to yourself, don’t embarrass yourself.”
Luo Yi pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "But you will be snatched away by others."
Wen Xiaohui rubbed his earlobe, and said softly: "No one can take me away, mother is mother, boyfriend is boyfriend, you are you, you are one of my most important family members, I will always by your side."
Luo Yi nodded and hugged him gently: "Brother Xiaohui, you are very important to me."
Wen Xiaohui stroked his back: "I know, you are also very important to me."
"You're the only person in the world I trust, and you trust me completely, right?"
"Of course." Wen Xiaohui said without hesitation.
"Well, that's good." Luo Yi tightened his arms, his eyes were as calm as water, without any ripples.
After Wen Xiaohui returned home, he was always restless. What he was most worried about happened. Fortunately, Luo Yi's feelings for him should be rather vague. It's not like he likes him, but he is overly dependent and afraid of losing. After all, Luo Yi is still young. Seeing him like men, it is inevitable that he will be easily affected. Influence, just like everyone around you has a certain popular hairstyle, and you want to try it yourself, you don't know if you really want it or if it suits you. This is his fault, he didn't think carefully, and he will never talk to Luo Yi about men again.
In the evening, Wen Xiaohui and his mother went to grandma’s and grandpa’s house for the New Year’s Eve. On the first day of junior high school, they went to see grandma. Except for text messages for New Year’s greetings, he and Luo Yi had unusually infrequent contact these two days. Accompanying grandma instead of looking for Luo Yi, he thought it would be better for Luo Yi to calm down.
When Luo Rui called back from abroad to pay New Year's greetings, Wen Xiaohui thought he was making an international call, so he didn't talk too much, but he still couldn't help telling Luo Rui what happened.
Luo Rui yelled on the other end of the phone for a while, and then asked worriedly: "Then what should I do?"
Wen Xiaohui said irritably: "It's hard to say, let's wait for you to come back."
"Damn, half of the gossip chat is reserved for the other half, do you have the morality of gossip, and don't let people celebrate the New Year."
Wen Xiaohui snorted: "Damn rich people who went on vacation in Switzerland deserve to have a bad year and die."
Until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Xiaohui felt that it would not be good to go on like this, so he took the New Year's goods to find Luo Yi.
Luo Yi looked as usual, as if nothing had happened, but his face was pale, his eyes were haggard, and he looked very tired.
"What's wrong with you? Stayed up late?"
"I can't do anything during the Chinese New Year, just play games all night."
Wen Xiaohui couldn't help feeling a little guilty for not coming to accompany him earlier: "From now on, you are not allowed to stay up late." Wen Xiaohui put down his things, took out a red envelope from his bag, shook it with a smile, "Come on, Happy New Year."
Luo Yi smiled and said, "The red envelope, is it for me?"
"Of course it's for you. Although it's not very thick, when Brother Xiaohui makes more money in the future, I will definitely wrap it for you in a particularly thick one."
Luo Yi took the red envelope and looked very happy: "I'm happy even if you wrap a piece of paper."
Wen Xiaohui took off his coat: "Let's cook together, I'll make you a New Year's Eve dinner."
"OK."
Wen Xiaohui put the things in the kitchen and started sorting: "This is my grandma's marinated pork. It's super delicious. My mother didn't inherit her mother's cooking skills at all."
"Well, it's very fragrant."
Wen Xiaohui introduced while posing, suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a thick cigarette butt between the trash can and the corner of the wall. He reached out and picked up the cigarette butt: "Hey, Luo Yi, don't you smoke."
Luo Yi said: "No smoking." He turned his head, just in time to see Wen Xiaohui holding a half-smoked cigarette, his eyes immediately sank.
"Whose fault is this? I accidentally threw it out of the trash can?"
"A classmate came to my house yesterday."
"Oh." Wen Xiaohui threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, feeling puzzled.
Wen Xiaohui pretended to be aggressive when he was in high school. He used to smoke cigarettes for half a year, but instead of swallowing them down his throat, he just vomited them out of his mouth. Later, he quit because he was afraid of getting yellow teeth, so he knew a little about smoking. It was a homemade cigarette. The paper used for the cigarette looked very high-end, and the shredded tobacco probably wouldn’t be cheap, and the smell was particularly strong. Most of the people who smoked this kind of cigarette were of a certain age, and he had never seen students smoking this kind of cigarette. The most important thing is that Luo Yi doesn't even take photos with others, and he doesn't seem to have any friends at ordinary times, so he would let his classmates come to his home
He intuited that Luo Yi was hiding something from him, but he couldn't ask, because Luo Yi's secret either involved Yaya, or the biological father who couldn't be mentioned.
The two cooked a meal together, in fact, it was mainly done by Luo Yi, and Wen Xiaohui beat his hands and ate food by the side. When cooking, Luo Yi accidentally burned his hand, Wen Xiaohui always felt that he was not in a good mental condition today and was absent-minded of.
During the meal, Luo Yi also chatted without saying a word, and he was very distracted. Wen Xiaohui finally couldn't help it, and put down his chopsticks: "Luo Yi, you are very wrong today, not just staying up late, these few days you What's wrong?"
Luo Yi also put down his chopsticks, and said in a deep voice, "That person came to look for me."
Wen Xiaohui's heart tightened: "When?"
"...yesterday." Luo Yi scratched his hair, "I'm sorry, I lied, that cigarette end didn't belong to my classmate, it belonged to his bodyguard."
"What did he come to see you for? Come and see during the Chinese New Year?"
"He wanted something from my inheritance and said mum stole it from him."
"what?"
"An official seal."
Wen Xiaohui frowned and said, "What is that for?"
"I don't know, but it must have had a lot to do with it, because that official seal was specifically listed as an item of heritage."
"Even if you want to give it to him, you can't give it now."
Luo Yi nodded: "That's right, my inheritance can only be inherited after I reach the age of 18, but there is a premise that if I have an accident and need to use this fund for emergency, I can use it."
Wen Xiaohui's eyes widened: "What is an accident, emergency."
Luo Yi looked at Wen Xiaohui, and said slowly: "For example, I was sick, got into a car accident, was..."
Wen Xiaohui slapped the table violently, and said sharply: "You mean to say that in order to get the official seal, he will give you an accident?" His voice was trembling.
Luo Yi bowed his head and was silent for a while: "I asked that too, and he said he wouldn't, he would wait until I was eighteen... But I don't quite believe him."
Wen Xiaohui said nervously: "You... that person, what exactly do you do?"
Luo Yi shook his head: "I can't tell, but there is a lot of power, both black and white."
A chill invaded Wen Xiaohui's body, making him feel chilly. As early as in Yaya's suicide note, he could smell something was wrong. The gun on his birthday proved that Luo Yi's biological father was an extremely dangerous man. Such a person, such a person, can't be expected to have any family affection from him, what if it is really unfavorable to Luo Yi
Luo Yi grabbed Wen Xiaohui's hand: "Although he and I are alienated, we are related by blood after all. I don't think he will hurt me, but maybe he will think of other ways, because he seems very anxious to get it. official seal."
"What will he do?"
"I don't know." Luo Yi frowned, "Brother Xiaohui, to be honest, I'm a little scared."
Wen Xiaohui grabbed his hand: "Don't be afraid, if it doesn't work, let's call the police."
Luo Yi shook his head: "It's useless, let's see what he wants to do next. If he just asks for money, it's a big deal to give it to him."
Wen Xiaohui nodded: "Yes, if you want money, give it to him. You can give him my share. Your safety is the most important thing."
Luo Yi smiled: "Brother Xiaohui, you are too kind to me."
"It should be." Wen Xiaohui patted his hand, "Be careful usually, but I think he is you after all... Well, after all, he is related by blood, so he shouldn't do things too extreme. If you have anything to do, you must discuss it with me." , I don’t hide things from you, and you can’t hide things from me either.”
"good."
Wen Xiaohui lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of food, then suddenly said, "Is my sister's death related to him?"
Luo Yi was silent for a long time before humming lightly.
Wen Xiaohui clenched his fists.
After starting to work after the year, Juxing lost one-third of its staff, obviously they all left with Xiaoyan, the studio seemed a bit sluggish for a while, Liuxing began to sit in the office every day, managing, guiding, and recruiting, he was so busy every day. With big dark circles. The employees are not idle either. There are fewer people in the studio, and one has to be used for two.
On this day, Wen Xiaohui had just had lunch, and no one ordered him, so he sat on the sofa to rest, Liu Xing just came out of the office, saw him and said: "Adi, are you okay now?"
"Oh yes."
"You make a trip to send a document to the office." Liu Xing handed him a stack of documents, "I'll send the address to your phone."
"Yes." Wen Xiaohui took the documents and left depressedly.
He opened Liu Xing's text message and saw: Zhengxin Accounting Firm. He took a taxi without hesitation, since it could be reimbursed anyway.
When he arrived at the office, he reported his name and was ushered into the office by the front desk. The lady at the front desk said, "Wait a minute, our boss is about to finish the meeting, or you can put the documents on the table."
"Our boss asked me to personally hand it over to your person in charge, saying that it is an important document."
"Okay, you can wait later."
Wen Xiaohui sat on the big leather sofa, looked around the office, thinking, what a grand, when can he have such an office, of course it is not so old-fashioned, but big and spacious, full of fashion and youthful atmosphere.
He couldn't help but put his body close to the back of the sofa, feeling like he was going to sink into it, it was so comfortable, he was tired all day today, standing from morning to afternoon, and finally able to sit for a while, he was ordered to come out, it was so annoying. He leaned against, and gradually his whole body relaxed, and finally couldn't help but closed his eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously.
He didn't know how long he slept, he felt a little cold, he stretched his body, then wrapped his coat tightly, completely forgot where he was, fell sideways on the sofa, and wanted to continue to sleep.
A "puchi" laugh came out of the room.
Wen Xiaohui opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up in a jerk. At some time, there was already a man sitting in that imposing boss' chair, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, dazzlingly handsome, looking at him with interest.
It's him!
Wen Xiaohui's mouth grew wide in surprise, isn't this Li Shuo who he tried to strike up a conversation with at the bar that day!
Li Shuo said gently, "Did you sleep well? Is it a bit cold?"
Wen Xiaohui felt his face burn, he stood up: "Uh, I'm sorry, I was too tired, I accidentally fell asleep..."
"I delayed the meeting. It's not your problem. I should apologize." Li Shuo smiled and said, "Sit down." He walked over, sat on the sofa next to him, and poured Wen Xiaohui a cup of tea. The wrist watch and diamond cufflinks, which are worth a lot of money at first glance, are full of extraordinary taste.
Wen Xiaohui looked at him, his straight suit, the smile on his face, his long legs curled up, the whole room was filled with the hormonal smell of Li Shuo's mature gentleman, he felt like he was going to be out of breath , my mind is dizzy.
Li Shuo put the tea in front of him: "Drink something hot, so as not to catch a cold."
"Uh... oh." Wen Xiaohui picked up the tea, shook his hands, and put on his pants.
Li Shuo laughed again, took out a tissue and handed it to him.
With a blushing face, Wen Xiaohui took the tissue and wiped it hastily.
"Why are you so nervous? Is it because we met at the bar?"
It turned out that he still remembered. Wen Xiaohui said embarrassingly: "It's really a bit of a surprise." He handed the file bag to Li Shuo, "Our boss asked me to send it over. It turns out that your office is sorting out Liu Xing's accounts."
"Oh, no, what we do is your boss's own." Li Shuo took the document, "Our firm also provides personal financial consulting services."
Wen Xiaohui nodded, the hand holding the teacup was very nervous, he didn't want to delete Li Shuo's phone number, but he didn't plan to call either, just lying in his cell phone address book, he thought he would never get in touch, no Thinking of meeting again after less than a month, does this prove that the two are destined, Wen Xiaohui not only started to lust.
"Your name is... adi? I remember correctly."
Wen Xiaohui nodded hurriedly: "Yes."
"Thank you for sending the documents here."
Wen Xiaohui became depressed again, the goddamn order to evict customers so quickly, such a luxurious office, such a handsome and cool young CEO, I really want something shameful to happen! But he only dared to think about it. When he met Li Shuo, he realized that he was a little more shy than he thought. He had no choice but to say: "You're welcome, then you are busy, I will go back first."
"Oh, I'll take you out." Li Shuo politely made a gesture of invitation, opened the door for him, sent him all the way to the elevator entrance, and even pressed the elevator button for him himself.
Wen Xiaohui gritted his teeth and mustered up his courage to look at Li Shuo: "Well, can I treat you to dinner?" Since God arranged for them to meet for the second time, if he didn't do something, wouldn't it be a disappointment to such a fate? For such an attractive man, he really couldn't hold back.
Li Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled slightly, lowered his head, hesitated for two seconds, then raised his head and smiled: "Well, how about the Japanese restaurant opposite my office at 6:30 in the afternoon?"
Wen Xiaohui's eyes lit up: "Good!"
