He seldom had this feeling, so it was a little difficult to describe the feeling of bitterness spreading from his heart. He felt a little regretful and thought that he should have given Ou Shaowen a plot that made him feel more comfortable and natural. He was also a little angry and felt that Xiao Yao's self-expression made him feel uncontrollably angry. Then, he was a little at a loss and felt that every answer from Ou Shaowen was not what he had expected.
In his imagination, Ou Shaowen could be like Xiao Yao, holding on to his own goals and treating everything as a tacit game between us. He could also be like Qi Shuyang, truly indulging in the trap of tenderness, becoming jealous and envious, and treating him as his own property.
However, when he said, "Don't worry, those who can survive will not die," there was no sarcasm or self-mockery in his tone, and it was a tone that showed acceptance and taking it for granted.
The feeling that he seemed to be out of this world resurfaced. Ou Shaowen was like a ship drifting aimlessly on the sea. Meeting him was like encountering a pier where he could dock temporarily. He could dock here or he could weigh anchor and leave immediately.
The bitterness slowly rose up from his throat. He picked up the teacup and swallowed a sip of water, feeling that he was really feeling a little uncomfortable.
In the surveillance footage, Ou Shaowen had already gone downstairs and walked into the kitchen. Ou Renjin was a little inexplicably afraid to look at it anymore. He quickly closed the page, then picked up his phone and sent a text message to Xiao Yao, telling him that he could take his book and leave the villa as soon as possible.
In the kitchen, Aunt Zhou observed Ou Shaowen’s expression cautiously. After a while, seeing that he seemed to be really calm, she couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Xiao went upstairs to get the book just now. Did you… bump into him?”
"I encountered it." Ou Shaowen was cleaning a fish neatly.
"He signed with Mr. Ou's company, so it's inevitable that there will be some work dealings." In this kind of situation, Aunt Zhou felt sad and embarrassed for Ou Shaowen. She wanted to comfort him, but the words she said were so high-sounding that she didn't even believe them.
"Yeah." Ou Shaowen nodded.
"Really, let me tell you, Mr. Ou seems to do whatever he wants on the surface, but he actually does things with principles. At least he never cheats, and he never is ambiguous between two people. If he doesn't like someone, then that's it. He will break up cleanly before considering starting a new relationship, so you..." Aunt Zhou felt more and more that something was wrong, and she wanted to stop and slap herself in the face twice.
“Oh,” Ou Shaowen stopped what he was doing and thought carefully about what Aunt Zhou said, then said, “I see.”
Oh my God, don't tell me, I just said it casually, don't think about it! Aunt Zhou slapped her head, feeling extremely frustrated, as if she had slandered Mr. Ou for no reason and successfully destroyed his image in Xiaowen's mind.
When Ou Renjin went to the villa as scheduled the next night, he sat in the car for a full ten minutes before he opened the door and got out. He himself didn't know what he was thinking about during those ten minutes. Occasionally he thought of Ou Shaowen knocking on his door and saying he wanted to sleep with him, and then he suddenly thought of him grabbing the actress' waist with both hands and lifting her onto the windowsill with ease. In short, his mind was full of thoughts, never stopping.
As soon as he entered the gate of the villa, he smelled the aroma of ribs, mixed with the faint fragrance of fruit and the mellow smell of brandy. A few steps further in, he saw Ou Shaowen carrying a baking tray and putting it on the dining table. The delicious spices and meat exuded an attractive smell in the air. He looked at him and smiled gently, just as he had taught him.
At that moment, Ou Renjin looked away and stared at the fruity roasted spareribs on the table. He paused for a moment before speaking, "It smells so good. It seems you have inherited Aunt Zhou's true teachings. But didn't you say we were going to fry steak today?"
"I was going to fry steak, but I practiced so many times before because I wanted to make it for you. Today, I suddenly got tired and didn't want to make it. Aunt Zhou said you also like to eat ribs. This is my first time making it, but it seems to be better than the steak I will cook later. How about this today?"
As a person who always speaks with a hidden meaning in business and has to detect the hidden meaning in others' words, Ou Renjin's thoughts at this moment spread from Ou Shaowen's words. What is he hinting at? Is he telling him about his grievances? Or is he warning him? Is he saying that he doesn't have a sincere heart that can be abused by others. If you insist on it for too long, you will get tired. Things that you didn't want and didn't know how to cherish before will not be there for you to take forever? Is he saying that love is still the best at the beginning. Although it has not been practiced, it is beautiful enough to have a simple and sincere heart
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to eat this today?” Ou Shaowen observed his expression, “Try it first. If you don’t like it, I’ll fry you a steak.”
Looking at Ou Shaowen's somewhat uneasy and expectant expression, he felt that everything he had just thought about seemed to be asking for trouble.
"It's not that I don't want to eat." He raised his head, looked at him straight, and slowly smiled, "Come here, feed me a bite."
Ou Shaowen was easily happy and satisfied. He cut off a small piece of meat and handed it to his mouth with a table knife.
Ou Renjin took the meat and licked the tip of the knife gently. Ou Shaowen suddenly became a little excited. He sat next to him and put the knife in his hand. "I want you to feed me too. Feed me too."
He looked inexplicably childish, like a kid waiting to get candy.
"Okay, then you can only feed it once, and eat the rest yourself."
"Is twice not enough? I'll feed you twice too." Ou Shaowen said eagerly.
Ou Renjin couldn't help laughing, then shook his head mercilessly, "No."
"Okay then." He looked at him with bright eyes, as if welcoming a long-awaited surprise.
Ou Renjin suddenly felt that the action that he could do easily before was now extremely awkward. Under Ou Shaowen's gaze, he felt as if he could hardly hold the knife. After finally putting the ribs into his mouth, he turned his head, collected his thoughts, and tasted the food in front of him.
A whole piece of ribs lay horizontally in the baking pan, looking a bit rough. Ou Renjin removed the meat from the bones bit by bit and divided it between their plates, eating it elegantly and delicately. Ou Shaowen subconsciously imitated his every move. In fact, he often imitated Ou Renjin unconsciously, imitating his walking posture, his dressing style, and his tone of voice. He may not realize that he and Ou Renjin are becoming more and more similar.
They were originally of similar height and build. If they stood together now, even the fans who were most familiar with Ou Renjin would find it difficult to tell them apart from a distance.
After dinner, Ou Renjin went with him to take a walk in the community to digest the food. After walking quietly for a while, he suddenly mentioned Xiao Yao, "Did you meet Xiao Yao when he came to the villa to get the book?"
Ou Shaowen frowned, “Yeah.”
"He won't appear in the villa again." His tone was flat, but with a hint of seriousness as if he was making a promise.
"Yeah." He still responded lightly.
Ou Renjin turned his head to look at him, Ou Shaowen met his eyes and raised his eyebrows in confusion, "What's wrong?" It seemed as if such a small matter was not worth his attention.
He looked at him quietly for a while, then turned his head and looked forward again, "I remember that I seem to owe you a request."
"Is there?" Ou Shaowen thought carefully.
"When we were in the hospital, you said you wanted me to give you a few leaves, and I said it was not your request." Ou Renjin gave him a few pointers to help him recall.
“Oh.” Ou Shaowen thought about it, then shook his head again, “But, in my opinion, I have already fulfilled this requirement. The leaves are very beautiful. Later, I made them into specimens and put them in my treasure chest.”
"Okay." Ou Renjin smiled, unwilling to argue with him, "Then let's exchange requests. You promise me one and I promise you one."
"Okay." Ou Shaowen found it very interesting. He couldn't help but jump forward and turned around to jump in front of Ou Renjin. "I like playing this game. Can I ask for anything? Can I ask for anything?"
"Yes, anything is fine. Anything I can do." Ou Renjin really wanted to know what requests he would make and what he would want him to do.
“Then you move to the villa and live there for a whole month.” Ou Shaowen stretched out his finger. He was originally going to number two, but he hesitated for a moment and changed it to one.
Ou Renjin's heart skipped a beat. He looked at him and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just nodded, "Okay."
"You have to sleep with me every day during this month." Ou Shaowen added with a smile on his face.
"No." Ou Renjin shook his head, "This is the second requirement."
"How can this be considered the second one? It's just a supplement to the first one." He widened his eyes slightly, looking a little cute.
Ou Renjin had a smile on his face, but his tone was firm, "Because you didn't make it clear the first time, so for me, this is the second one."
Ou Shaowen was a little frustrated when he heard this, and looked at him pitifully, “Okay, then what are your requests?”
Ou Renjin held his chin with his hand and thought for a while, then pretended to be calm, "Then... my request is that you have to sleep with me every day this month."
The expression on Ou Shaowen's face brightened instantly. His eyes were sparkling and beautiful with surprise, and his slightly pursed lips were extremely charming. He suddenly attacked him, and took advantage of the momentum of jumping towards him to pounce on him and hugged him tightly, "You just teased me on purpose."
This time, Ou Renjin struggled to hold him steady, "Yes, I was teasing you, because teasing you is so fun."
