Lin Yao was a little dazed. If he had heard such news before last weekend, he might have laughed out loud in front of Director Chen. But now was the time when he could not face Guan Ze the most. He really wanted to ask Director Chen to replace him with someone else. But Director Chen made it very clear that the newcomer should go and learn. There was no reason for a newcomer like him to refuse.
He could only agree and went back to his desk, staring at the computer for about five minutes before sighing.
"What's wrong? Did you get hurt?" Jiang Yifei slid over to him on the chair and asked, then looked at his face, "Your map face hasn't healed yet?"
"Brother Jiang, are you going to comfort me or provoke me? Can you think it over before you speak?" Lin Yao glanced at Jiang Yifei.
"Okay, I'll comfort you, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Chen asked me to go to the exhibition." Lin Yao lowered his head and scratched the edge of the table.
"Yes, I went there last year. It was quite relaxing. It was mainly the people in the marketing department who were busy." Jiang Yifei was a little surprised and whispered in his ear, "If I were allowed to go, I would still like to go. There are subsidies and I don't have to work."
Lin Yao didn't say anything. Jiang Yifei certainly couldn't understand his current mood. He also couldn't say that he didn't want to stay with Guan Ze. He could only smile and said, "That's right."
It was almost noon when Lin Yao hesitated whether to go to the tea room to drink some coffee. He got angry when he thought of Guan Ze's words. It was as if he had seen clearly that he was afraid to meet him, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Damn, it's just a cup of coffee. If Guan Ze hadn't come, he would have planned to go to the marketing department with the coffee to show off or something. He happened to have something to communicate with a client and he wanted to ask the girl in the marketing department who was in charge of this client.
He held the cup as if he was holding a gun and marched towards the tea room.
There were people in the tea room. Two girls from the marketing department were chatting inside. When they saw him come in, they were happy: "Lin Yao has a beautiful face."
"Would you like me to impart some beauty tips to you?" Lin Yao asked with a stern face.
"Hey, are you from the design department going to that exhibition?" A little girl handed him a biscuit.
"Well, what about you guys?"
The girl said four names: "Including Mr. Guan, there are five of us, plus you, six."
Lin Yao quickly allocated the rooms in his mind. There were three rooms for six people. Two of them were girls, so they would definitely stay in one room. The remaining four men would have exactly two rooms. The two guys from the marketing department would definitely not want to stay in a room with their boss and someone from another department, so... he would most likely have to stay in the same room with Guan Ze again.
Damn, this is so embarrassing!
I guess I don't even have the courage to look at Guan Ze. If I look at him once, Guan Ze might think that I have done something to him in my heart again. Of course, every time he looks at Guan Ze, he can't help but think something about him in his heart... But! Knowing and not knowing are two completely different realms!
His only hope was that Guan Ze would show off his leadership and ask for a single room.
However, this hope was soon shattered. During lunch, he heard what the girl from the marketing department at another table said to Guan Ze, which made him feel very desperate.
"Boss Guan, the rooms have been booked. Three standard rooms."
"good."
You big head of garlic paste! Lin Yao didn’t even have the mood to eat. He stared at the table full of dishes and only ate two pieces of hairtail fish and drank half a bowl of soup. He felt full.
All the melancholy in my heart is about to overflow, it's so depressing!
Now Lin Yao basically no longer plays games at night, and Guan Ze finds it a bit boring. Ever since the PK rules were changed, the server has been thriving, and wild PK is basically no longer seen. It is more about fully preparing for the challenge PK later. The fun in it has suddenly decreased a lot, and only the encounter battles in the wild can best reflect the meaning of PK.
In addition, Yanran Yixiao was not online, so he was too lazy to do anything except helping Yuangungun to upgrade. After Yuangungun went offline to do his homework, he usually went offline too.
Usually when he is bored, he will call Lin Yao. This kid has a natural temperament that can make people relax. He can chat with himself for an hour or so. Guan Ze doesn't have many friends, but Lin Yao is the only one who can make him completely relax and laugh.
Of course, Lin Yao may not consider him a friend now. He runs away faster than a puppy when he sees him. When they met in the corridor after get off work in the afternoon, Lin Yao was able to force his way into the full elevator and pushed a guy from the administration department out. As a result, the guy was too thin and not enough. Lin Yao even had the audacity to push a fat guy from the marketing department out, and kept saying that he was sorry for his brother and that he was in a hurry...
Guan Ze sighed. Lin Yao made him very depressed. He thought that he was fine after drinking and chatting at his house for a long time. He didn't expect that this kid was a thunder dragon. A thunder dragon takes several hours to receive information after being bitten on the tail. Lin Yao was fine after drinking some wine after losing face, but he started to feel ashamed three days later...
This situation continued until they arrived at the exhibition and checked into the hotel, and there was no improvement.
When Lin Yao was checking in at the front desk, he kept chewing gum with his headphones on, not saying a word. Guan Ze took the room card and ripped off his headphones: "You'll be in the same room with me."
"Yes," Lin Yao put away his headphones and followed him dejectedly, muttering, "Why don't you get a single room? You are a director after all. You can't have the same salary standard for business trips as us small employees, right? You don't think about the company at all. What if when we talk to a client this time, people see that a director is staying in a standard room and think our company is so stingy? A director staying in a standard room..."
"Lin Yao," Guan Ze couldn't help laughing when he heard him mumbling, and turned around to look at him, "When will you get over this?"
"It's too late, Master Guan," Lin Yao didn't even look at him, and continued to mutter behind him, "You probably won't be able to understand how I feel in this lifetime. Even a veteran unlucky guy like me feels extremely unlucky when encountering this. How can this matter be so unlucky... It's just like you running on the street... Forget it, I think I've said this once..."
After entering the room, Guan Ze held back his laughter, threw his bag aside, took out his clothes and walked to the bathroom: "I'm going to take a shower. I have to get up at seven tomorrow to set up the exhibition. Don't think about it anymore. If you really feel uncomfortable, I'll give you a day off and you can go wherever you want to play."
Lin Yao glanced at him and said nothing. He also didn't say anything else and went straight into the bathroom.
After a while, Lin Yao was heard laughing in the room outside. He didn't know what kind of TV he was watching that could make him laugh like that. Guan Ze sighed, this kid was really amazing.
Before coming out of the shower, he put on his clothes and pants neatly, fearing that Lin Yao would be embarrassed when he went out. But when he was about to open the door to go out, he hesitated again. If he dressed so neatly as if he was going out, what if Lin Yao felt that he was on guard against him, wouldn't that make him even more crazy? So he took off the T-shirt he was already wearing and walked out of the bathroom shirtless.
Lin Yao was sitting cross-legged on the bed, smiling at Guo Degang so hard that his eyes were curved into two tiny slits, and even the slits were almost invisible. Guan Ze couldn't help laughing just by looking at him like this, without having to listen to what Uncle Guo said.
"Why are you laughing like that?" Guan Ze threw his clothes on the other bed.
“Too funny, oh, I love to hear it…” Lin Yao rubbed his face and turned his head, and saw Guan Ze’s sweatpants casually hanging on his hips and his naked upper body. He suddenly felt a rush of blood to his forehead, and a hole in the top of his head would immediately make him feel like he was going to be raped and tortured!
"Keep listening." Guan Ze leaned against the head of the bed, took out his cell phone and looked at it.
Lin Yao quickly turned his head back and stared at the TV. He didn't hear a word Uncle Guo said afterwards. Guan Ze over there laughed so hard that he chuckled twice.
This won’t do. Lin Yao secretly glanced at Guan Ze and found that he was playing with his phone and didn’t notice his reaction. He pinched his leg and said, “Lin Yao, haven’t you lost face enough? You’re almost out of face!”
He took a deep breath, crossed his legs again, put his hands on his knees, palms up, closed his eyes and began to pretend to cover himself. Now, you are the only one in this room...
Five minutes later, Lin Yao jumped off the bed, without saying a word, took his cell phone and walked out of the room.
Guan Ze was a little puzzled. What was this kid doing? If he had known that he could be so awkward, he should have discussed with Director Chen to bring one more person and arrange for the two design departments to work together. Only then could Lin Yao feel at ease.
"Oh..." Guan Ze sighed. To be honest, it was his fault that he did not handle the matter well. If he had told him earlier, Lin Yao would not have felt so bad. Now he didn't know what else he could do to make the child feel better.
Just as he was wondering what to do, his cell phone rang, and it was his private number. Guan Ze got out of bed and took out his phone from his bag. When he saw the caller ID, he was stunned and smiled
What is Lin Yao trying to do
"Sister Xiao." Guan Ze answered the phone.
"Master Dao, what are you doing?" Lin Yao's voice came from the other end, just like when the two of them talked on the phone before, quite calm.
"On a business trip," Guan Ze didn't ask why Lin Yao suddenly acted like this, but just went along with what he had said before, "What about you?"
"What a coincidence! I'm also on a business trip with our director." Lin Yao sniffed.
Guan Ze hesitated about how to respond to this, and finally decided not to consider anything else. The reason why Lin Yao suddenly called Heng Dao was to achieve this effect. He smiled and said, "So you can't sleep tonight, right?"
"Well, I was afraid that I would have a nosebleed while I was sleeping," Lin Yao laughed, "I was squatting in the fire escape right now, I couldn't stay in the room, and he came out with his bare chest, I almost couldn't control myself."
"You are hopeless."
"Yes, it's too hard. I'm afraid to be with him, but I also really want to be with him. Sometimes I want one thing, sometimes I want another. It's so frustrating that my teeth are almost aching."
Guan Ze chatted with Lin Yao about this and that. When Lin Yao faced Hengdao, he was very relaxed. He liked the way Lin Yao was, his carefree and silly look. But when he thought of Lin Yao squatting in the fire escape at the end of the corridor pretending to call Hengdao, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
He had been in this state before, and he felt uncomfortable when he thought about the feeling of being lost and having no one to talk to. Although Lin Yao's situation was not exactly the same as his back then, he could clearly understand this feeling.
"Go back to the room, don't squat there. He might be asleep by the time you get back." Guan Ze lay down on the bed, ready to pretend to sleep.
"It's not even ten o'clock yet. I'll stay a little longer. I feel suffocated staying in the room." Lin Yao said sullenly, sounding pitiful.
Guan Ze didn't say anything. He got out of bed, put on his slippers, and walked out of the room without even putting on any clothes. He went straight to the fire escape and pushed the door open.
Lin Yao was squatting by the wall, holding a cigarette and picking at his shoes. He seemed startled when the door was pushed open. When he looked up and saw Guan Ze, he said to the phone, "I won't talk to you for now. Our director is looking for me..."
"Okay, I'll hang up then." Guan Ze didn't know what was wrong with him, he said this cooperatively and then hung up the phone.
"Mr. Guan, why are you here?" Lin Yao stood up.
"I put out the cigarette," Guan Ze pointed at the cigarette in his mouth, "It's almost burnt."
Lin Yao bent down, put out the cigarette on the sole of his shoe and threw it into the trash can beside him. Guan Ze went over and grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the room. Lin Yao stumbled several times. Guan Ze let go of his hand after he entered the room. He turned around and looked at him: "Lin Yao, this matter is really not as serious as you think. Some things become more and more awkward the more you think about them."
Lin Yao lowered his head and was silent for a long time before speaking: "I know, but... This is the first time in my life that I like someone and someone knows about it. In the past, I would just think about it secretly and fall in love with him."
"I didn't scold you or say anything about you. Besides, it's my fault for not handling it properly. You didn't do anything wrong. If you feel embarrassed in front of me, I have the final say. If I feel embarrassed for you, then you are embarrassed. If I don't feel embarrassed for you, then you wouldn't be embarrassed. Do you understand?" Guan Ze felt like he was speaking a tongue twister. Except when talking to clients, he had never said so many words in a row. He patted Lin Yao's shoulder and said, "I'll tell you again, I'm really sorry."
It was also the first time that Lin Yao saw Guan Ze speak such a long sentence in one breath. He stared at him for a long time without saying anything, as if he hadn't reacted. However, Guan Ze could see that his eyes were a little red: "Crying again? You are really a child. You love to cry so much."
"Get lost," Lin Yao glared at himself, "I'm not crying. Do you think your words are touching? I'm crying."
Guan Ze laughed and said, "I was quite touched when I said it myself. I felt that I was very amiable."
"Hey," Lin Yao scratched his hair and stared at the handprint on Guan Ze's chest for a while, "Now that you've said that... Actually, if you don't care about me, I can recover after a while. It just takes a little longer. My mom always says that I'm too slow to think about things."
"Why did you think of calling Hengdao? It's quite creative. I almost don't know what to say." Guan Ze took out two pieces of chocolate from his bag and handed them to Lin Yao.
"I used to talk to Hengdao about this, but now I feel uncomfortable because I have no one to talk to," Lin Yao put the chocolate in his mouth. "Hengdao is the only friend I can talk to about these things."
"I can also be a friend like you," Guan Ze walked to the window, "I always treat you as a friend, even though you are very... eccentric, but it's fun to chat with you."
"Are you using me to entertain yourself?" Lin Yao chuckled twice and suddenly felt not as depressed as before.
"Don't be so nervous when you're with me next time. I'm almost getting nervous just from watching you," Guan Ze said as he peeled chocolate. "Just treat me as a friend."
"It's a bit difficult, I'll try my best." Lin Yao looked at Guan Ze's back. He was still shirtless. The beautiful grooves on his back made Lin Yao a little dazed. He swallowed and said, "Can you put on your clothes? I'm so young and full of energy."
Guan Ze looked back at him, smiled and walked back to the bed and picked up his clothes: "You have so many things to do."
"Wait," Lin Yao gritted his teeth, "Can I touch that tattoo?"
