When he was about to get off work, Luo Yi called: "Brother Xiaohui, when will you be back? What do you want to eat tonight? I'm in the supermarket."
"Oh, I just remembered, I won't go to dinner tonight." Wen Xiaohui couldn't hide his excitement in his tone.
"What's the matter, do you want to go out to play?"
"I have a date today, hehehehe." Wen Xiaohui laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
"... what a date."
"Do you still remember the handsome guy I met at the bar last time, his name is Li Shuo?"
"Well, I remember."
"I have a good relationship with him. Today, Liu Xing asked me to go to the accounting firm to deliver a document, but it turned out that it happened to be the firm he opened!" Wen Xiaohui said intoxicated, "He looks even more handsome in a suit, sitting in the office of the president. In the boss chair, there is style."
"Oh, what a coincidence." Luo Yi said blankly, "Then you go. You... will come back at night."
"Hahahahaha, yes, how can it develop so fast."
Luo Yi smiled lightly, "You seem to be looking forward to it."
Just as Wen Xiaohui wanted to say that he wished he could get rid of his virginity for a second, he suddenly remembered that he should try not to talk about men in front of Luo Yi, so as not to spoil him, so he coughed lightly twice: "Just kidding, Li Shuo really doesn't seem to think much of it." Fuck me, so just be a friend and have a meal, I can also be a male friend, okay?"
"Of course, I'll wait for your return that night."
"You don't have to wait for me, go to bed early."
Luo Yi said softly: "I want to wait for you, I've been wanting to see you all day long."
Wen Xiaohui felt very heartwarming: "Okay, I will try to go back as soon as possible."
"Well, eat well." Luo Yi hung up the phone, and stood blankly in the crowded supermarket for three seconds, his face suddenly changed, his pupils contracted violently, and a terrifying hostility emanated from his body. He stretched out his hand and knocked down the tower of Coke cans piled higher than a person in front of him.
Hundreds of bottles of soda cans crashed to the ground, spilling drinks all over the floor, creating a mess. The people around jumped back again and again in shock, fearing that their pants would be splashed, and someone else would be hit on the back.
Luo Yi smiled obediently at the supermarket employee who ran over: "I'm sorry, I accidentally knocked it down, and I will pay for it."
Wen Xiaohui struggled for a while whether to wear makeup or not. He remembered what the gay guy said, saying that Li Shuo liked good-looking women. In the end, he just put on a layer of powder to make his skin look fairer. Most people can't tell that there is makeup on. Yes, I went out with satisfaction.
The place Li Shuo chose was a small izakaya, decorated in a very warm style, in a CBD business district surrounded by office buildings, it looked exquisite and cute, and seemed to slow down here even in a hurry.
Wen Xiaohui walked in and saw that Li Shuo was chatting in English with a man who looked like a boss, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and waved his hands.
Wen Xiaohui walked over: "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Li Shuo smiled and said, "You're not late, I came early, and my office is opposite, so I often come here."
The boss ushered them into a very secluded seat and took orders for them himself.
Li Shuo handed the menu to Wen Xiaohui: "See if there is anything you like."
Wen Xiaohui opened the menu and looked at it, his eyes almost straightened, such a small dilapidated izakaya, the things are so expensive! He pretended to be calm and ordered a few dishes.
Li Shuo introduced: "The chefs in this restaurant are all hired from Japan, and the ingredients are all imported by air. Although not many people know about it, once you try it once, you don't want to eat other Japanese ingredients again. .”
Wen Xiaohui slandered silently, pretending to be aggressive, but he showed a sweet smile without hesitation for a moment: "Wow, I'm looking forward to it."
After ordering, Li Shuo poured tea for Wen Xiaohui: "Juxing is not far from here."
"It's okay, your English is really good, you have been abroad." Wen Xiaohui tried hard to find a topic.
"Oh, I'm American, and I passed it when I was very young." Li Shuo blinked, "Now I'm returning to China to start a business."
"Isn't it good to be abroad?"
"In the U.S. I'm going to work in my father's firm, and I feel like it's going to hinder my personal development."
Wen Xiaohui chuckled: "Is this the standard line of the rich second generation?"
Li Shuo smiled: "That's not the case. The accounting industry in the United States is very mature, and all major firms are bound to large companies. For newcomers, the development is limited, and it is a hundred times more difficult to start a business. The country is an emerging market. Every There will be many potential new companies emerging every year, and I think I have more room to display here, otherwise, no matter what achievements I have made, they will be superimposed on the foundation stone laid by my father, which is not in line with my ideal. ideal."
Wen Xiaohui thought to himself, indeed, he had money to burn, but he could only continue to pretend, and said with adoring voice and eyes: "You are so amazing."
Their dishes came out quickly, Wen Xiaohui tasted the sweet shrimp, it tasted really good. The two chatted while eating, because Wen Xiaohui couldn't understand Li Shuo's work at all, so Li Shuo cooperatively chatted with him about gossip about the fashion and entertainment circles.
Wen Xiaohui looked at Li Shuo with watery eyes the whole time, hoping to attract attention, but Li Shuo was too well-behaved from expression to movements, always keeping a distance between friends, which disappointed Wen Xiaohui, and even began to doubt his own charm. Although he has never seduced a man, he is also a man and knows what a man wants, why Li Shuo didn't respond to his beauty at all, isn't it his fucking indifference
After eating, Li Shuo looked at his watch: "Where do you live? I'll take you back."
Wen Xiaohui looked at him depressedly with his chin propped up, but didn't speak.
Li Shuo turned his head to look at him: "What's wrong?"
After performing all night, Wen Xiaohui was a little tired. He had a feeling that this was his first and last meal with Li Shuo, so he didn't bother to pretend, and asked bluntly, "What type of boy do you like?" ah?"
Li Shuo was startled, then smiled: "Not necessarily, it depends on how you feel."
"Forget it, whether you feel it or not, most of it depends on the face, what kind do you like?"
Li Shuo thought for a while: "The kind that looks very gentle."
"May I introduce you to one?" He wanted to introduce Luo Rui to Li Shuo, so the money wouldn't flow to outsiders.
Li Shuo smiled and said, "Thank you, but I don't plan to fall in love right now."
"You use this kind of excuse to send me away, I'm not a child." Wen Xiaohui pouted dissatisfiedly, took out his phone and began to look through Luo Rui's photos, "I know you didn't like me, let me show you my Friend." He pointed the phone screen at Li Shuo, "Look, this is my childhood, 20 years old, a pastry chef, the biggest feature is gentleness, good cooking and beautiful cakes, innocent and well-behaved, long It's also beautiful."
Li Shuo gently pressed his wrist down, and said gently: "Adi, you misunderstood, I am not dissatisfied with you or your friend, I really don't have time to start a serious relationship now, I put most of my It would be irresponsible to jump into a relationship when I'm so focused on work and can't be distracted by a relationship. To put it bluntly, all I need is a mature bed partner right now, but I miss you and you Friends aren't like that."
Wen Xiaohui was speechless. It was his first time meeting someone like Li Shuo. Li Shuo was very clear about what he needed and didn't need. His own trajectory is out of control, and people with such a clear mind make him somewhat repulsed, because such people are mature to put it bluntly, but they are probably unlucky to put it bluntly.
Of course, Li Shuo may also be lying, but he didn't like him and Luo Rui at all, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of him, so he found an excuse to refuse. Although he doesn't have much relationship experience, he has seen too many messy things in the circle. There are indeed similar people who just want to have fun and don't want to be responsible, so he never encounters and is difficult to get rid of.
Anyway, at least people are honest.
Wen Xiaohui lowered his head in disappointment.
Li Shuo rubbed his hair: "You are very interesting and charming. If you don't mind, I will introduce some good friends of mine to you."
Wen Xiaohui blinked his eyes: "Really?"
"real."
Wen Xiaohui said coquettishly: "Then I want to be tall and handsome."
Li Shuo smiled and said, "No problem."
After dinner, Li Shuo sent Wen Xiaohui back. Wen Xiaohui remembered that Luo Yi protected his privacy very well, so he asked Li Shuo to put him at the street corner, and he walked to the villa area by himself.
The lights at Luo Yi's house were still on, and as soon as Wen Xiaohui entered, he saw Luo Yi watching TV in the living room, and when he saw him back, he asked, "How was the date?"
Wen Xiaohui said: "It's okay, let's get along as friends first."
"Is it Li Shuo, the boss of Zhengxin Accounting Firm?"
Wen Xiaohui was startled: "How do you know?"
"You told me his name and occupation, and I can find it on the Internet." Luo Yi leaned against the wall with his chest folded, watched him take off his shoes, and said lightly, "He is really handsome, twenty-seven years old, Young and promising, it is in line with your preferences."
Wen Xiaohui felt a little awkward, and couldn't help but think about Shao Qun. At that time, Luo Yi said that he was inquiring about Shao Qun with Cao Hai, but Cao Hai said that they hadn't contacted at all since they signed the custody agreement. Who is lying about him? I don't know, but at least Luo Yi really went to inquire about Shao Qun, and he pretended to ask casually, "Why are you going to investigate Li Shuo?"
"I'm afraid you'll meet bad people, it's better to get to know them better."
"He's just a date, not even a friend, it's unnecessary."
"If you want to continue dating him, it is necessary." Luo Yi looked at him deeply, "You don't want to meet a liar like your ex-boyfriend again, so if necessary, you can spend some money to check more clearly."
"No need!" Wen Xiaohui emphasized, "It's not good to do this."
"What's wrong?" Luo Yi stared straight at him, his pupils were like two black holes, as if they could suck people in.
Wen Xiaohui felt a little unhappy, I don't know how many times, he noticed that Luo Yi had a desire to control him, although it was very slight, and as long as he rebounded, Luo Yi would immediately take it back, but he was sensitive, so he still noticed it. arrive. He doesn't blame Luo Yi. Luo Yi's growth environment is doomed to lack a sense of security, and he is very dependent on him, the "only remaining" relative, so he will inevitably overreact. The more this is the case, the more he loves Luo Yi. Therefore, he He will work hard to resolve Luo Yi's desire to control, and the specific method is to curb it in time every time he feels it. So he said seriously: "Luo Yi, you are still a student, but I am an adult, I know you want to protect me, but I don't need your protection, I can take care of myself, our position is against Now, I should be the one to protect you, and you don’t have to worry about anything, just study hard and live well.”
Luo Yi lowered his head and didn't speak.
Wen Xiaohui came over, touched Luo Yi's head, and said softly: "I understand all your thoughts, but I hope you can just be a simple student and don't worry about me."
Luo Yi whispered, "I can't do it."
"..."
Luo Yi raised his head and looked at Wen Xiaohui pitifully: "Brother Xiaohui, I only have you, I am afraid of losing you, afraid of leaving you, even if you go out to work, I am afraid that you will have an accident, so all you have is I want to know everything, and I want to rule out all factors that may hurt you. Is it annoying that I am like this, and do you think I am annoying too? "
"Of course not!" Wen Xiaohui hurriedly argued, "Why would I find you annoying? Of course I know you care about me, but there are some things that people of your age really shouldn't worry about. I can take care of myself. Work and life, you just have to take care of yourself."
Luo Yi reached out and hugged Wen Xiaohui's waist, tilted his face on his shoulder, and whispered, "If I still can't do it."
Wen Xiaohui felt his heart start beating wildly, Luo Yi seemed to be acting like a baby with him for the first time, oh my god, he was so cute, he couldn't stand it. There is such a perfect and beautiful young man who puts almost all of his attention on himself, which inevitably makes people's hearts flutter. He started to stutter: "Uh... you... try to focus on your own study..." After finishing speaking, Wen Xiaohui wanted to slap himself. Isn't this what he hated hearing from adults when he was a student.
Luo Yi shook his head: "It doesn't take a lot of energy to take care of studies, Brother Xiaohui, you know, I don't know how to get along with others, my family is different from everyone else, I feel that there is a generation gap with other people, so I have no friends. Only you are different. With you, there is no pressure or estrangement. You have a mother, a colleague, a friend, and a boyfriend in the future, but I... I only have you."
Wen Xiaohui felt another blow to his heart. Suddenly, all the feelings of distress, pity, and guilt flooded in his mind. Even if Luo Yi was taller than him now, in his eyes, he had changed. He became a loveless puppy, so pitiful, he comforted softly: "Don't say that, sooner or later you will make friends who are compatible with you, and one day you will meet someone you love, even if you never have, you still have to give up." With me, I know you don't feel safe, don't worry, I will never leave you."
Luo Yi rubbed against Wen Xiaohui's neck, and his lips slipped across his collarbone, making Wen Xiaohui's heart palpitate endlessly.
This moment can be said to be tender or embarrassing, Wen Xiaohui couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't gone to see Cao Hai and signed the agreement, what would happen to him and Luo Yi now? Without Luo Yi, his life would still be the same as before, no difference, but without Luo Yi... a sense of pride rose in his chest, and he saved a confused and lonely boy for himself.
The ringing of the mobile phone broke the silence, Luo Yi let go of his hand, stood up straight, and Wen Xiaohui also covered his hair and went to answer the phone.
As soon as the phone was connected, Luo Rui yelled: "How about a date, how about a date!"
"Damn, can you keep your voice down?" Wen Xiaohui said perfunctorily, "That's it, I had a delicious meal, and it's easy to eat with his face, I even forgot to lose weight."
Luo Rui made a dreamy voice: "That's great."
"What a great thing." Seeing Luo Yi go to the kitchen, Wen Xiaohui said in a low voice, "I still don't like me, saying that I'm busy with work and don't have time to fall in love, huh."
"You really aren't his type, so introduce me." Luo Rui said urgently.
"I introduced it. I said his answer just now. He is busy and has no time to fall in love."
"Nonsense, it's obviously an excuse." Luo Rui mourned, "Does his eyes grow on the top of his head? It's so demanding. It's nothing special. Ignore him from now on."
"He said he would introduce us to tall and handsome friends."
"I take back what I just said."
The two chatted for a few more words, then hung up the phone, and Luo Yi came out with a cup of hot milk: "Go take a shower after drinking, and go to bed early."
Wen Xiaohui really likes Luo Yi's tenderness and consideration. It should be said that no one in the world can refuse such delicate care. Sometimes he would have the idea that "it doesn't matter whether you have a boyfriend or not when you have Luo Yi", but this kind of As soon as an idea pops up, he will immediately suppress it.
While chatting before going to bed, Wen Xiaohui told Luo Yi about the recent changes in work. When the integration is completed, the investors, that is, Mr. Luo and Shao Qun, should meet with them. He is very worried about the meeting with Mr. Luo.
Luo Yi said: "Don't worry, he hasn't dared to do anything for such a long time, let alone do it now, as long as you behave as usual and don't provoke him, you still have Shao Qun as a backer, and... I think Shao The group will squeeze Mr. Luo out soon."
"Huh? How do you know?"
"It's just a guess, Shao Qun is very ambitious."
"Who knows, it's better to be like this, otherwise Mr. Luo will always be pressing on top of my head, and it will always feel like a problem."
"Don't worry, I won't let Boss Luo have the opportunity to wear small shoes for you."
Wen Xiaohui turned to look at him: "You?"
"Did you forget that we have his photo in our hand?"
Wen Xiaohui's eyes widened: "Don't mess around, even if he fires me, I will admit it. You must, absolutely not do anything illegal."
Luo Yi was a little puzzled: "We have such a good handle, we can completely protect you, why are you afraid instead?"
"One more thing is worse than one less thing. There's no reason to take the initiative to cause trouble. It's just a job, and it's not that serious. It's not as important as your future anyway, so you must not mess around." Wen Xiaohui broke out in a cold sweat. , About the photos, if he hadn’t mentioned Mr. Luo, he would have forgotten it long ago. He didn’t expect that Luo Yi would actually want to threaten Mr. Luo with photos. This is not the first time Luo Yi made him feel a little scared. During the fight, Luo Yi recorded a video, which made him feel very... wrong.
Luo Yi shrugged: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Wen Xiaohui lay down for a while, still feeling a little impetuous, couldn't help turning around and looking at Luo Yi: "Luo Yi, why are you so courageous?"
"Um?"
"It's just... For example, about that luca incident, you wanted to put the video on the Internet in order to relieve my anger. This time, too, do you know that these are illegal?"
Luo Yi smiled: "I dare to put it up, so naturally no one will know who did it, and I won't be found out."
"No, that's not the point. Even if you can't be found, you still did something very dangerous."
"Since I can't be found, what's the danger?" Luo Yi said disapprovingly, "Even if they were found, have you forgotten that I'm only sixteen years old, and you won't do anything to me."
Wen Xiaohui felt a slight chill, Luo Yi seemed to be lacking something, he couldn't say what it was for a while, it was like...something that many people think is unethical is nothing in Luo Yi's eyes, it is very scary, although He didn't think Luo Yi was bad, Luo Yi just wanted to protect him, but his behavior seemed a bit...excessive. He hastily found an excuse for Luo Yi, and it was the usual one—abnormal family. He said: "Luo Yi, you can't think like this in the future, although you may think it's just... a prank or something, but it's illegal after all, it's not illegal if you can't be caught, even if you want to protect me , the method must also be correct, you are still so young and have a bright future, you can't make fun of this kind of thing, don't say such things in the future."
"okay, I get it."
Wen Xiaohui sighed softly in his heart.
"I just hope that you don't have any troubles in your life." Luo Yi said, "I hope you never have to worry about anyone, things, or money."
Wen Xiaohui's attitude softened: "Luo Yi, thank you."
"Don't be polite to me." Luo Yi grabbed his hand, "Brother Xiaohui, can I hold your hand to sleep."
Under such sincere and dependent eyes, Wen Xiaohui couldn't refuse, so he could only nod.
Luo Yi smiled faintly, held his hand and stuffed it under the quilt, and gently closed his eyes.
Wen Xiaohui tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He couldn't help sorting out the big and small things from the time he met Luo Yi to the present, and he always felt that something was covered with a layer of veil, which made him unable to see through or guess it. The more he got along, the more he found Luo Yi Yi is not as sunny and innocent as he imagined. This young man is very smart and scheming, and sometimes he is so smart that he is a little scared. The things about Luca and Mr. Luo, the kind of coldness hidden behind his wisdom, always makes him feel a little bit scared. Feel overwhelmed. He can no longer treat Luo Yi as a young man who doesn't know much about the world.
