Before Shen Chen could reply, he heard his mother interject:
"Don't worry about Youyou, the doctor said, you can go to the ground after lying down for a month. And after recovering, it won't affect your future actions at all. Don't worry, don't worry about it..."
Shen Chen's eyelids twitched: "Mom!".
Du You: "?"
Mother Shen hesitated, and then said: "Okay, let's talk. I have taken care of Chenchen for a day, and my old arms and legs are sore." She rubbed her arms, "I'll go out for some exercise."
Then he walked out the door. Before leaving, he did not forget to stretch out his hand and secretly gave his son a thumbs up gesture.
—Opportunities have been created for you, and then work hard on your own.
"..."
Shen Chen silently watched Shen's mother leave. Then he cast his gaze on Du You, and coughed lightly: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
The door closed, leaving only the two of them in the room.
Du You put the gift on the table and sat down: "I've caught the murderer."
He briefly described what happened, and finally concluded:
The culprit who caused several car accidents is nothing more than a werewolf who knows nothing about the world.
Shen Chen frowned: "A werewolf?"
Only a phantom can be seen in the surveillance video retrieved by the police.
It is certainly not human beings who can move freely through traffic. Although he had thought of this possibility a long time ago, he was still a little surprised when he heard this kind of monster that only appeared in fantasy stories.
Du You nodded: "I've locked him up for the time being. I'll take care of him until Xiao Tiantian is dealt with."
Shen Chen was silent for a while, then asked: "Then what about you?"
Du You: "What?"
"Since you can catch the werewolf, you must be stronger than it. What is your identity?"
Ever since he knew that Du You came from another world, Shen Chen wanted to know the answer very much. Now it is finally asked.
The room fell silent. The air conditioner was whistling and warm air was blowing, a red flower fluttered down from the vase decorated on the table, and lay gently on the carpet.
This deathly silence made Shen Chen a little embarrassed, wondering if he asked a question that shouldn't be asked.
He pretended to be calm, and took over the conversation: "You don't have to say it's inconvenient."
Du You: "You will be scared when you hear it."
Hearing this, Shen Chen was startled.
"I don't want you to be afraid of me." Du You said, "In front of you, I will always be human."
The real identity is indeed non-human.
Shen Chen looked away: "No matter what you are, I will not be afraid."
Du You froze for a moment, then heard the man add: "If you really don't want to say it, I won't force you... Anyway, I don't really want to know."
I see.
Du You understood. The other party should be chatting with nothing to say. But I should thank him for not asking about his identity anymore.
Du You: "Thank you."
Shen Chen raised his chin: "No need."
To be honest, he didn't understand what Du You was thanking at all. And he didn't understand why he had to talk too much about the latter sentence.
It may be because of the good face for a long time, adding that sentence is basically subconscious.
If Du You was not present, he would have already started to reflect on himself with the quilt covering his head.
It's a pity that the habits formed in front of parents when I was young, in front of classmates in school, and in front of subordinates and customers after work cannot be corrected in three to five days.
So no matter how entangled he was in his heart, on the surface he was still that calm old man of a wealthy family who didn't take anything seriously.
In order to divert this embarrassment, Shen Chen's eyes fell on the souvenir Du You brought.
It was a beautifully packaged round box, very big. It's just that this kind of packaging looks familiar no matter how you look at it.
Seeing that he noticed it, Du You picked up the round box and said, "Condolences, do you want to eat now?"
Shen Chen nodded dispensably. Only ask when the other party starts to unpack: "What is this?"
Du You tore open the red string: "Cake."
As he spoke, he took off the cover—it revealed its real body.
The taste is matcha. The surface of the cake is sprinkled with matcha powder, and the top layer is shaped like a forest of green trees. And in front of the forest, there is a guidepost made of chocolate with four large characters written on it.
-"Happy birthday".
Shen Chen: "..."
Isn't this a birthday cake! .
The corner of Shen Chen's mouth twitched: "Why is it a birthday cake?"
Du You put the lid on the table: "This is the biggest dessert shop. You're welcome, you'll still eat the same."
Shen Chen couldn't help but support his forehead: "Thank you."
Because Du You didn't say who to give it to. The clerk also took dozens of plastic spoons on paper plates and a bag of colorful candles.
Du You didn't celebrate his birthday, so he didn't know what this thing was used for. After picking up the beautifully packaged one, he was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and asked, "Do you use it?"
Hearing the question, Shen Chen didn't know how to answer.
This is to let him, an injured patient, lie on the hospital bed and light candles on a day that is not his birthday
What's more, since he became an adult at the age of 18, he has never celebrated his birthday like this again. Either nothing, or a reception. On the surface it is said to be a birthday party, but in fact it is also for business talks.
Shen Chen felt a little pain in his head, rubbed his temples: "No need."
Du You didn't force it, cut open the big cake, cut out a piece and handed it to Chen Chen.
Shen Chen took it. I don't know if the other party did it on purpose or not, but the chocolate street sign with "Happy Birthday" printed on it was specially left for him.
Shen Chen looked at the road sign, picked it up and took a bite.
The taste is rich, and the chocolate and milk are just right.
It was quite delicious.
Then, Du You also cut a piece for himself.
When it was not their birthday, the two ate the birthday cake silently in the ward together. This scene sounds a bit strange.
After Shen Chen finished eating a plate, he saw that Du You was about to cut off a piece, so he stopped him and said, "I'm full."
I have to say that this cake still tastes very good. But the hospital was crowded with people, even if he was staying in a private ward, Shen Chen was worried that he would be bumped into by the nurse who suddenly entered by mistake.
Hearing Shen Chen's refusal, Du You cut another piece for himself.
The aroma of milk mixed with the aroma of astringent and sweet matcha diffuses in the air.
"Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask you." Du You swallowed the cake, "You asked me before if there is someone you like."
Hearing these words, Shen Chen suddenly turned his head to look at Du You. But seeing that the other party was still holding a piece of cake in his hand, he immediately looked away.
He felt a little bad in his heart.
It must be because of what happened recently that Du You suddenly mentioned this matter.
Is someone asking the same question? Or did Du You realize his feelings and have someone he likes
He suddenly remembered the two people he met that Christmas.
Although in his opinion, those two are brats. But I have to admit it still looks good. And perhaps because of his youth, he pursued it without any concealment.
Is it possible...
Du You didn't see Shen Chen's mood swings under the calm surface, and continued to ask questions: "Why did you ask this question at that time?"
Shen Chen pretended to be calm: "Just chatting, what's wrong?"
"Someone asked me this question recently." Du You replied, "I want to know the reason."
Shen Chen frowned.
Exclude the gossip of the boring aunt - basically impossible. Since he would specifically ask about himself, it must be because the person who said this made Du You feel a little shaken.
Shen Chen wanted to know who it was. But just as he was about to leave his mouth, he swallowed it back.
So what if you know. He has a one-way relationship with Du You, and Du You has a relationship with him.
Even if there are other people who like Du You, it is impossible for him to throw money at the other party to make that person give up like in some TV dramas.
However, he didn't want to be a bridge for others.
So, Shen Chen just said: "Don't think too much, maybe that person has nothing to say."
Du You understood: "Same as you, gossiping?"
While dragging the enemy back, he accidentally dug a hole for himself.
Shen Chen was silent for a while: "Yes."
"Then, why would someone say they like you? Is it just gossip?" Du You continued to ask.
"When..." Shen Chen subconsciously wanted to respond, but suddenly frowned.
Wait, like
Someone confessed to Du You
Those two little kids who just took off their school uniforms actually confessed their love to Du You
Shen Chen's mind was in chaos.
Du You is still waiting for a response: "Is it?"
Shen Chen really wanted to say yes. But since Du You asked this, it proves that he hasn't agreed to the other party yet. He must kill this sign in the cradle.
But no matter how you say it, this explanation is a little far-fetched.
He said with difficulty: "Is that person younger than you?"
Du You nodded.
Regarding the identity of the confessor, Shen Chen became more clear in his heart.
He said: "That guy is too young and ignorant. So he doesn't know what 'like' is."
Du You suddenly realized that he had asked the right person. Even without Xiao Tiantian, Shen Chen must be a man with many battles and experience.
"Then how should I respond?"
Shen Chen was categorical: "Keep a distance, alienate."
Du You was disappointed: "Can't be friends anymore?"
"Cut it off immediately, otherwise it will only cause people to misunderstand and get deeper and deeper." Shen Chen said, "Since you regard that person as a friend, you should consider his future even more."
Indeed, You Haoyu is still in the early stages of career development.
Du You nodded: "That's true."
Seeing his convinced face, Shen Chen couldn't help feeling a little guilty. But he immediately dismissed the thought.
Love is like a battlefield, either you die or I live.
Before he knew it, Du You had already eaten all the remaining cakes.
It was already dark. Fortunately, Father Shen didn't walk in with his own food on the way.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Du You was about to leave, and stood up: "Thank you, I will do as you said." He paused, "And... I have questions in the future, can I still ask you."
So far, most things have been asked about the system. But the other party is not human after all, and a lot of experience is also obtained from all kinds of pure love.
Since Shen Chen is a human being, he is also older than him, so his field of vision must be much broader than his. And as the president, the other party will definitely be able to give more appropriate advice.
Seeing Du You's trusting eyes, Shen Chen always felt that this development seemed a little wrong.
But he still replied, "It's up to you." Then he added coldly, "Don't waste too much of my time."
We chatted for nearly an hour today, and it did take a long time.
Du You: "Ten minutes?"
ten minutes…
It feels like jumping to the other extreme.
Shen Chen tried to save it: "It's not impossible to make it a little longer."
Du You: "Eleven minutes?"
Is this shopping for vegetables, rising every minute
But the matter has come to this point, Shen Chen could no longer lose face and asked for more time, so he could only hum slightly to express his agreement.
After waiting for people to leave, Shen's father and Shen's mother also walked in after a while.
Father Shen was still holding an insulated box, which seemed to be the food he had promised to bring.
The timing for the two of them to come in was exactly the same as when Du You left. Shen Chen was speechless: "Are you eavesdropping again?"
"No." Mother Shen hummed, "We just happened to be walking nearby. Right, the child's father."
"Yeah, motherfucker."
Father Shen shook his head and sighed, "It's just that I didn't expect someone to be so disappointing. After a long time, he took the initiative to approach, but in the end he acted like a monster to shorten the time."
"Eleven minutes." Mother Shen looked at her son with pity in her eyes.
"Eleven minutes." Father Shen repeated it to show contempt.
Damn it, stop talking!
Shen Chen was repeatedly poked in pain, but it was not easy to attack his parents. I had no choice but to lie down and pull off the quilt and cover it to the top of my head.
After listening to the opinions, Du You prepared to carry out the proposal.
When You Haoyu went to the set, the number of meetings should decrease. The problem is now, the other party lives in his house, how to avoid it without a trace.
Coming out of the hospital and sitting in the car, Du You asked Assistant Xiao: "Are there any business trip arrangements for these few days?"
Assistant Xiao shook his head: "No."
Du You: "Will you be very busy? Will you work overtime?"
Assistant Xiao: "Several major projects are in the final stage. Only the co-branding project with Shen Group is still under development. I re-sent an email today to inquire about the meeting time, but there is no reply yet."
In short, it is to be idle for a while.
Du You glanced at his watch. It was nearly seven o'clock. It's probably less than eight o'clock when I go home now, and when I go home, I have to run into You Haoyu again.
He thought for a while and said, "Help me book a hotel for three days."
"Yes." Assistant Xiao took out his mobile phone, "Do you have any clients coming?"
"Use my ID card."
Assistant Xiao paused and looked at Mr. Du.
Check-in in hotels is now strictly managed. Unless you use your ID card, you cannot check in. According to Mr. Du, he wants to stay in a hotel outside for three days.
Obviously his home is an hour's drive away
Assistant Xiao knew from his previous work experience that there are generally two possibilities for the boss who has a home in the city but wants to live in a hotel.
1. I quarreled with my family and wanted to be alone.
But Du always lives alone, so naturally he won't have such troubles.
And the second possibility is to meet a lover.
"..."
And she opened a hotel for three days in a row, no wonder she was asked if she was busy with work recently.
Assistant Xiao had a complicated expression.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the hotel.
This is the largest five-star hotel in the city, and it was renovated only a year ago. Whether it's entertaining foreign guests or celebrities on business trips, this hotel is an unmistakable choice when you come to S City.
The building is resplendent and resplendent, straight into the sky. As the tallest building in S City, it is also a beautiful landscape.
As soon as the car drove to the door, a doorman greeted him.
Walking in, there is a gorgeous and complicated chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the hall.
After completing the check-in procedures, Assistant Xiao said that he would pick him up on time the next day, and left.
Du You took the elevator and came to the presidential suite on the top floor. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the bustling night. Suddenly, an important question came to mind.
He didn't seem to have brought a change of clothes.
However, clothes are available for purchase. A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem at all.
Du You sent a text message, saying that he would not go home from a business trip these days and let You Haoyu take care of himself. The other party didn't say anything.
Looking at the sneaky appearance of the host, the system couldn't help but have an illusion.
… Are you a cheating husband on guard against his wife finding out
Two days passed without incident. Tomorrow is the day when You Haoyu returns to the set.
When Du You came to the company, not long after he sat down, Assistant Xiao hurried in.
"Mr. Du, I'm sorry. There is a contract missing. I need it for a meeting with Mrs. Chen tomorrow. Is it with you?"
The last time I saw this contract was the day Mr. Shen got into a car accident.
I was in a hurry. Since the bosses of both parties were away, they could not sign at will, so she put the contract in Mr. Du's briefcase.
After hearing the explanation, Du You recalled it.
A domineering president doesn't need a briefcase. Although it was his stuff in name, Assistant Xiao had been holding it for him in reality. That briefcase should have been in the car, and that car...
Still parked in his garage.
So in order to get back that document, Du You returned home early the next morning.
It was five o'clock in the morning, and the room was quiet, with the lights off.
Walking in, there was a slight breathing sound from the living room. A black figure was lying on the floor of the living room, covered with a blanket, only a furry head was exposed.
It's Ryan.
The guest room windows have been repaired and the carpet has been replaced with a new one. Why are you still sleeping here
Du You stopped in his tracks after seeing it, somewhat incomprehensible.
[Host, hurry up, the garage key is in the study, right? Take it and leave, don't wake people up.]
Since Du You acted like a thief when he went back to his own home, the system couldn't stop talking in his breath.
It became more and more like a scumbag husband who cheated on him and came home late and didn't want to be discovered by the hostess.
The study is on the second floor, passing the guest room on the way.
Du You walked forward. At this time, there was a click, and the door in front of him just opened - bumping into You Haoyu.
When You Haoyu saw him, he was taken aback for a moment, then frowned.
System: [Ah, I got caught!]
It's fully into the character.
Du You: "Sorry, did I wake you up?"
"...No." You Haoyu said, "The manager is coming soon, I'll leave right away."
Only then did Du You notice that the other party had already put on a down jacket. Although the temperature has risen in February, it is still a bit cold in the early morning.
I remember that the last time the other party went to the set, they got up very early.
Du You: "Be careful on the road." After a pause, he said, "I'll come back to get things."
After speaking, continue to walk towards the study.
But as soon as he passed by the young man, he heard the question: "Did you just say that?"
Du You paused.
"You didn't go on a business trip at all." You Haoyu said, turning around, "Why didn't you come back."
Du You turned around with a slightly surprised expression.
The system yelled: [Wait a minute, he can't possibly know, he must be bombing you!]
The little brain of the system began to run rapidly. After watching so many dog blood love dramas, it has accumulated a lot of experience. Just prepare to pass it on to the host here!
But before finding the answer, the host blew himself up.
Du You: "How do you know?"
Hearing the answer, You Haoyu twitched the corner of his mouth: "... Guess."
The system hates iron but not steel: [Why did you blow yourself up so quickly!]
However, Du You was not good at lying in the first place. Now that he was exposed, he simply confessed: "The hotel I stayed in these few days."
Hearing this, You Haoyu lowered his head, clenched his fingers tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.
Even without asking why, he knew the answer.
"Did I trouble you?"
"Huh?" Du You replied, "No..."
You Haoyu raised his eyes: "Then why don't you even give me a chance?"
The five fingers couldn't help but clenched tighter and tighter, "I make you so disgusted that you would rather go to a hotel than stay in the same place as me?"
His amber eyes seemed to be steamed. The eye sockets are faintly red.
It was the first time Du You saw You Haoyu showing such an expression. Even if he was hunted down by a werewolf back then, it didn't seem to be the case.
He asked, "Are you going to cry?"
You Haoyu was stunned, then rubbed his eyes with his sleeve: "I won't cry!"
She really didn't cry, but her eyes were clearly reddened a little more.
Du You knew that tears represented emotional agitation for human beings.
I cry, maybe because I am happy; or maybe because I am sad.
What is the reason for You Haoyu.
Du You: "Are you sad?"
Hearing this, You Haoyu's breath became stagnant. Then he raised his hand slowly, and put his palm against his forehead.
It's ok. Du You has always been like this, and he doesn't show mercy at all when he speaks. If you want to be together, you have to get used to it.
"Sorry." Du You said, "I just think we have to separate for a while, you might calm down."
The other party's reaction was not as expected. He didn't want You Haoyu to waste time on himself, but he also didn't want the other party to have negative emotions because of this.
"...I'm serious." You Haoyu still buried his head. He didn't confess on impulse, but took this step after sorting out his feelings.
It's just that since childhood, although he has been pursued by many girls—including some boys, he has never had a serious relationship, nor has he pursued others.
Du You didn't need anything, even if he wanted to cook for him, he was rejected.
He also knew that most of the men and women who confessed to him just liked their appearance. But Du You was not interested in this at all.
Although he has made up his mind to pursue it openly, the other party has repeatedly avoided it.
What should he do to make Du You like him, even a little bit.
You Haoyu slowly put down his hands. At this time, the mobile phone in the bag vibrated a few times, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it was a message from the manager.
It's almost there.
If we just leave now to go to the set, if Du You doesn't take the initiative to come, it may take ten days and a half months to not be able to see each other.
But he didn't want to be like a stalker, pestering Du You all the time. In doing so, it is estimated that the other party will only retreat even more.
"There are about two months left for this drama to finish."
You Haoyu suddenly said, "I promise you, I will calm down during this time. If I still like you...can you give me a chance?"
Du You was puzzled: "Opportunity?"
"Don't avoid me." You Haoyu's eyes were still red, but he stared at Du You intently, "For a week, try to date me."
