"You want to resign?"
Huo Zhixiao frowned and sat up, looking at Ding Yinan inexplicably.
"Did I not satisfy you just now?"
Realizing that Huo Zhixiao's brain circuit was going in a strange direction, Ding Yinan no longer lay lazily on the bed, but sat up and said in a serious tone: "No."
"Then why did you resign?" Huo Zhixiao said, "I don't allow it."
There are many reasons for resignation, and Huo Xun is just a trigger.
Ding Yinan felt a little headache when he thought that it would take a lot of talking and talking. But he had to discuss this matter with Huo Zhixiao, so he let out a breath, cheered up and started from the original motivation: "I don't like work and life mixed together."
As early as the day when he found out that his ex-boyfriend was cheating, Ding Yinan said when drinking with Huo Zhixiao that it was his principle to separate work and life.
If a principle can be easily changed, it is not a principle.
Huo Zhixiao obviously thought of this, his tone was not as strong as before, he just frowned slightly and asked, "Can't you work well with me?"
"Yeah." Ding Yinan said, "Choose one, wife or assistant."
Huo Zhixiao didn't answer, and the words "want everything" were written all over his face.
"Besides that," Ding Yinan paused, "I don't want to do a job that I don't like."
"A job you don't like?" Huo Zhixiao was shocked for a moment, his brows furrowed deeper, "You don't like being my assistant?"
"No." Ding Yinan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I don't want to arrange a blind date for you."
Huo Zhixiao fell silent thoughtfully, and after a while, said solemnly: "...my dad."
He seemed to finally realize that this was a problem.
"I don't want to bear it." Ding Yinan said, "Maybe in your environment, you have a lot of worries and have to endure Mr. Huo, but I'm different. I'm not happy with what I do, so I can leave at any time."
"... yes." Huo Zhixiao said with lowered eyes.
"If you're not happy either," Ding Yinan said tentatively, "you can be like me."
"You said resign?" Huo Zhixiao asked.
"Um."
If Huo Zhixiao himself had no intention of resigning, Ding Yinan would not impose his own ideas on Huo Zhixiao. He knew that Huo Zhixiao wanted to resign, so he took the lead in setting an example.
"But you said before that you would not resign with me." Huo Zhixiao said.
"As I said, I will not mix work and life together." Ding Yinan said, "I will look for another job."
"So you really don't want to work with me, do you?" Huo Zhixiao frowned and asked.
Ding Yinan faintly felt that Huo Zhixiao was angry, he didn't answer directly, but said calmly: "You are now a part of my life."
— You came into my life, more intimate than a working relationship.
Ding Yinan is not very good at talking about love, so he can only express his thoughts straightforwardly. The reason for his resignation was not that principles made him abandon Huo Zhixiao, but that he put Huo Zhixiao in a more important position, so he was looking for the best solution in the relationship between the two.
And only when he finds the optimal solution, can he be with Huo Zhixiao at ease.
"I see." Huo Zhixiao let out a breath of compromise, "What are your plans after that?"
"I should go to my classmates to help." Ding Yinan said.
"Which classmate?" Huo Zhixiao asked.
"You've seen it, the one at the Machimoto Bar."
After just a few words, Huo Zhixiao frowned again, and asked in a bad tone: "Are you going to be his assistant?"
"Not sure yet, but it should be."
"You resign as soon as you resign, why do you want to be someone else's assistant?"
Well, now Huo Zhixiao is really angry.
Ding Yinan said helplessly, "I have to earn money to live."
"Can't I support you?"
"No." Ding Yinan said, "Do you think this is a healthy couple relationship?"
Huo Zhixiao was silent for a while, and said with an irritable expression: "It's so troublesome to fall in love."
"That's how it is." Ding Yinan said, "Think about it carefully."
After saying this, Ding Yinan got out of bed and returned to his room.
To be honest, Ding Yinan was not sure how Huo Zhixiao would consider the relationship between the two.
Perhaps as Huo Zhixiao said, he found it troublesome and didn't want to continue, so the two broke up.
After all, according to Huo Zhixiao's flirtatious temperament, Ding Yinan didn't know whether Huo Zhixiao would still be interested in him after the two slept together just now.
If it really ends like this...
Forget it, Ding Yinan thought, anyway, the two of them are not officially together, and it's not even possible to talk about breaking up.
It's just... he still feels very irritable.
After simply rushing over, Ding Yinan lay down on the bed exhausted.
Obviously his body was exhausted, but his brain couldn't relax no matter what, imagining countless outcomes in the future.
After an unknown amount of time, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.
The footsteps came from far to near, Huo Zhixiao lifted Ding Yinan's quilt, and lay down beside him. But after lying down, he kept turning his back to Ding Yinan, and his whole body exuded low air pressure.
Ding Yinan immediately understood what Huo Zhixiao meant, and he wanted to continue the conversation, but he was still angry about Ding Yinan becoming someone else's assistant.
As long as the two don't end up, these are trivial matters.
The busy mind was finally relieved, and Ding Yinan was instantly swept away by a deep sleepiness.
He turned over towards Huo Zhixiao, put his head against his back and fell asleep like that.
When he woke up the next morning, Ding Yinan's side was empty.
He subconsciously looked at the time, it was less than eight o'clock, Huo Zhixiao shouldn't have gotten up so early.
However, in the next second, the noise from the kitchen broke Ding Yinan's usual cognition.
He came to the kitchen with his slippers on, and saw Huo Zhixiao wearing an apron, stirring the egg liquid with an egg beater in a decent manner.
"Are you making breakfast?" Ding Yinan asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Huo Zhixiao looked at the bowl in his hand and said, "Go wash up first."
It's not that Huo Zhixiao didn't cook before, but Ding Yinan twisted his foot that time, so Huo Zhixiao could only take care of the lunch for the two of them. Now that Ding Yinan is not injured or sick, and it's still early in the morning, he really can't figure out how Huo Zhixiao suddenly became so homely.
When Ding Yinan came back from washing, two bowls of steaming egg noodles had already been placed on the dining table. He picked up a few noodles and tasted them, and they tasted pretty good.
Huo Zhixiao took off the apron, sat down opposite Ding Yinan, and while stirring the noodles, said, "I respect your decision."
Ding Yinan raised his eyes and looked at Huo Zhixiao.
"Before I thought raising a dog was a very simple matter, but later I found out that it is not the case." Huo Zhixiao said unhurriedly, "I take Sanbai for a walk every day, and spend time playing with him , sometimes it is naughty at home, and I can't do anything about it."
Ding Yinan looked at Huo Zhixiao quietly.
"Do you know why I persisted?" Huo Zhixiao finally raised his eyes to meet Ding Yinan's gaze, "Because you said I would not be responsible."
Ding Yinan did say that, even after Huo Zhixiao had already started raising three hundred years old, he still had a negative attitude towards this matter. But I don't know when, he has changed his view of Huo Zhixiao, and he doesn't even reject himself as having an extra son.
"The same goes for falling in love. I thought it was very simple, but in fact there are many aspects to consider." Huo Zhixiao said again, "I imagined having an underground relationship with you under my father's supervision, but it turned out... very uncomfortable. So I Understand why you want to resign."
Ding Yinan pursed her lips and said "um" involuntarily.
"How much annual salary does your classmate offer you?" Huo Zhixiao asked suddenly.
"500,000." Ding Yinan said, "It doesn't count as a bonus."
"When I can give you a million annual salary," Huo Zhixiao paused, "Will you come back to me?"
Ding Yinan was already by Huo Zhixiao's side, so he knew that Huo Zhixiao meant returning to work by his side.
"this… "
"I know you have your principles." Huo Zhixiao said, "But the problem is that work is a part of life."
Ding Yinan was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
"Think about what you do around me." Huo Zhixiao said, "You are my personal assistant, and half of your job responsibilities are related to my life."
Huo Zhixiao stopped talking and did not continue to argue about the relationship between work and life, but what he said just now caused quite a stir in Ding Yinan's heart.
"I will resign." Huo Zhixiao finally came to the final conclusion, "But I need some time."
Ding Yinan nodded and said, "Okay."
He already had a way out, so he dared to resign confidently, and Huo Zhixiao's need for buffer time is of course beyond reproach.
In fact, no matter how dissatisfied a rational social animal is with his job, he should resign after finding a new job.
"I have to go out later." Huo Zhixiao said, "Appointed a lawyer to consult about opening a studio."
Ding Yinan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Huo Zhixiao to move so fast.
"Have you been thinking about resigning?" Ding Yinan asked.
"Well." Huo Zhixiao said, "So it's not completely clueless."
Ding Yinan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly found that the relationship between him and Huo Zhixiao was not as difficult as he imagined.
After breakfast, Ding Yinan took the initiative to clean up the messy kitchen countertops made by Huo Zhixiao.
Huo Zhixiao came out of the bedroom wearing a light gray suit, holding two ties in his hand and asked Ding Yinan, "Which one do you wear?"
Ding Yinan looked left and right, finally took the one on the right, went directly around Huo Zhixiao's neck, and tied a beautiful tie knot under his collar.
"Perfect." Ding Yinan imitated Huo Zhixiao's tone.
Huo Zhixiao smiled and said, "Then I'm going out."
"Wait." Ding Yinan grabbed Huo Zhixiao's tie and pulled him back in front of him.
He raised his arms around Huo Zhixiao's neck, raised his chin and pressed his lips. After a while, he let go of Huo Zhixiao lightly, and said with a faint smile, "Go early and come back early."
