Ou Shaowen's eyebrows suddenly became cheerful, and he quickened his pace to walk to his side, "Aren't you busy at work today?"
Every time Ou Renjin said he didn't have time to come to the villa, he would use being busy at work as an excuse.
"When I want to see you, I can always find time no matter how busy I am." He said it casually, his words were sweet but his expression was calm. "Has your assistant become a friend who can give you advice so quickly?"
His words were sarcastic and a little annoyed. No matter what would happen next, maybe he would end the relationship with Ou Shaowen within half a year as they wished, or maybe it would be longer, or maybe shorter, but it was none of their business. They had to come to Ou Shaowen one by one to remind him, and they all swore as if they had seen the future.
"Yeah, he's very lively and likes to talk. I learned several new words today, and..." Ou Shaowen opened the page on his phone to show him, "He helped me apply for a Weibo account, and told me that I can share anything I want to share in the future..."
Ou Renjin interrupted him, "I don't like this assistant. I'll change you one tomorrow."
Ou Shaowen's expression also turned cold. He took back his phone, paused for a moment, and nodded gently, "Okay."
"Are you angry? Why, you don't want to do it?" Ou Renjin chuckled. "Didn't you say in an interview before that you thought I wouldn't force you to do anything you didn't want to do? At that time, I wanted to tell you that you misunderstood. It just so happened that you didn't have anything you didn't want to do for the time being, and you haven't encountered anything you like yet. Look, now you have encountered it."
Ou Shaowen listened to his words in confusion, and after a while, he explained: “I’m not angry, nor am I unwilling. It’s you who is unhappy, aren’t you?”
Ou Renjin rarely smiled so strangely and rarely spoke to him in this tone. He didn't quite understand what had happened to him, but he could understand that he was unhappy.
Ou Renjin looked at him deeply, turned around and walked into the door. "It seems that people are always easily influenced by the environment, so now you have become so eloquent."
He followed Ou Renjin quietly. This was the second time he mentioned that he was becoming more and more talkative. He didn't seem to like the fact that he was becoming more talkative.
"Why don't you answer?" Ou Renjin stopped and turned to look at him. When talking to people, Ou Shaowen always seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. He would respond to every word you said, with his voice, eyes, and body language. In short, he would respond to you.
Ou Shaowen raised his eyes and met his gaze. "What do you like? Is there anything that makes you happy?" His words were somewhat incoherent.
So Ou Renjin recalled the little assistant's advice to Ou Shaowen just now, "You don't have to give me gifts anymore."
This time, he emphasized with a serious expression, "Do you know when to give gifts to others to make them happy?"
Ou Shaowen listened carefully.
"When two people have equal status, assets and financial resources, but the gap between them is too big, one person seems to be giving alms, while the other seems to be flattering," he paused, "Do you understand?"
"I don't need you to spend every bit of your salary on buying me gifts. You don't have to always think about giving me something in return. What I give you is just the least worthwhile of all the things I have. So, when you have so many worthless things one day, you can give them to others. Now, I won't be happy to receive your gifts."
From beginning to end, his tone was calm. He didn't sound angry, but he definitely wasn't happy either.
Ou Shaowen didn't understand. It wasn't the kind of confusion that came from not understanding a certain vocabulary word or sentence. He couldn't understand Ou Renjin's mood at the moment, and didn't know how he should respond. It was as if a difficult question was placed in front of him, but he couldn't even understand the question, so naturally he couldn't get the correct answer.
"Okay." He nodded calmly, and tried to give the answer that Ou Renjin expected with his most superficial understanding. "I won't give you any more gifts. I didn't know it would make you unhappy. Last time, you didn't tell me directly."
He is still as well-behaved and calm as ever, as if he can tolerate all your sudden emotions.
Ou Renjin's impulse to speak without thinking suddenly calmed down. He flicked his fingers, suppressed his slight annoyance, and stretched out his hand to Ou Shaowen, "Come here."
Ou Shaowen took two steps closer to him and was embraced by him.
He was wrapped in warm body temperature, and his whole body felt comfortable, making him happy. He rested his chin on Ou Renjin's shoulder and instantly forgot the subtle conversation between them just now.
"Okay, stop standing here, let's go in."
Ou Renjin accompanied him to finish dinner, then sat on the carpet in front of the sofa and played two games with him before leaving the villa in the car.
In the kitchen, Aunt Zhou was washing dishes. Ou Shaowen went in to help and asked, "Aunt Zhou, do you know Ou Renjin?"
"What's wrong?"
"I don't quite understand what he said to me this afternoon?"
Ou Shaowen stopped what he was doing, turned around and repeated their conversation word for word, even imitating Ou Renjin's tone. Then, he said in distress: "So, what should I do to make him happy?"
It must be said that Aunt Zhou's curiosity was satisfied to the greatest extent at this moment. She was amazed in her heart that this was how President Ou usually talked to his little lover. She carefully analyzed it for him, "I've said it before, President Ou doesn't need your gift! He's not angry with you, he just feels sorry for you. Look at you, you had such a hard life before, and now you finally have some disposable income, you must use it to pamper yourself first. You can use the money to buy things you once longed for, handsome clothes, delicious food, and anything you want to try, you can try it."
“He…” Ou Shaowen hesitated, “Is that what you mean?”
"Yes, it's not that he doesn't like receiving your gifts. He means that when you become successful and wealthy in the future, he will be happy to accept any gift you want to buy for him." Aunt Zhou said, and she couldn't help laughing twice and patted his shoulder vigorously. "You are so likable, Mr. Ou must like you very much."
Ou Shaowen nodded thoughtfully, “Well, I understand.”
After this incident, he finally stopped thinking about buying a gift for Ou Renjin. His life was still plain and fulfilling. He had read the third row of books on the bookshelf. Although these books included finance, art, fashion, and movies, and there were many things he could not understand for the time being, he still read every book and every page in order. He also watched many movies, TV series, and variety shows. In this process, his shallow understanding and views over the years collided with the outside world. Just like Ou Renjin said, he was influenced by the environment at a very fast speed.
On the day of appearing on the gaming variety show, Ou Shaowen was very different from how he was many days ago.
He had just opened the car door and got in when he opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Qi Yue?"
"What?" Qi Yue looked back at him in confusion.
"Will you still accompany me to work?"
"What else?" He laughed. "You still want your agent to accompany you personally. By the way, do you know who your agent is? It's Mr. Ou! He will personally guide you, and every announcement of yours must be approved by him before it can be arranged. You can rest for a few days during this period. I heard that you will have magazine shoots and dance and singing lessons next. You will be so busy."
"Then he must be even busier." That's why I haven't contacted him for so many days.
"I am a little guy. I am a little guy. I am a little guy. I am a little guy. I am a little guy. I am a little guy. I am a little guy. I am a little guy. I am a little guy. I am a little guy. I am a little guy. I am a little guy. I am a little guy.
Ou Shaowen lowered his head and recalled the conversation between him and Ou Renjin that day, and then somehow he felt happy.
If he said he wanted to replace his assistant, was he being upset? He applied the upset looks of the female protagonists on TV to Ou Renjin that day, thought for a long time, and nodded with certainty.
Well, they are having a quarrel!
So you see, he is just like what he said, he will not force anyone to do anything he doesn't want to do.
Although he was not unwilling as Ou Renjin said, the slight hesitation at that time was only because he did not want to repeat the process of getting familiar with others.
