“But I want to kiss you…” Yan Sheng looked up, her eyes watery as she looked at him.
Fu Jingran could not resist such temptation. His blood was boiling with desire, and he could no longer hold back. He lowered his head and sealed Yan Sheng's lips with his.
Yan Shenyu didn't look at it again. He turned around and left, closing the door behind him.
The next day, Yan Shenyu woke up with a full hangover, feeling exhausted and dizzy.
Last night, the neighbors made a racket all night. Even though their house was well soundproofed, it couldn't stop the two people next door from making a racket. Yan Shenyu wasn't the type to be sensitive to sound, but he could still occasionally hear a long groan or two. It continued until dawn, when Yan Sheng cried out and begged for mercy, and the noise finally stopped.
Is this the luxury car that the main characters drive? It's like they're treating him like family.
If he went out now, he would most likely run into Fu Jingran, and Yan Shenyu didn't want to be a third wheel. He sat on the bed, scratching his head blankly, and after two seconds, lay back down.
Unable to fall asleep, Yan Shenyu opened his phone and found that Xie Siyan had sent him a WeChat message about an hour earlier, asking if he was awake.
[Just woke up.]
Yan Shenyu replied with those two words, and the other party immediately called.
"Are you dizzy? Are you feeling unwell?" Xie Siyan's voice came through the phone, as deep and magnetic as ever.
Yan Shenyu had his phone very close, and suddenly, it felt as if Xie Siyan's voice was right next to his ear, which startled him so much that he moved his hand far away.
Yan Shenyu paused for a while before replying, "It's alright, I didn't drink too much yesterday."
Her voice, soft and slightly hoarse, sounded as if she were deliberately being coquettish.
There was a brief silence on the other end before Xie Siyan came to his senses: "I ordered some porridge for you, it should have arrived by now. If you haven't eaten yet, you can have some."
"Oh, okay."
Xie Siyan still had work to do, so Yan Shenyu didn't chat for long before slipping on her slippers and going downstairs. Aunt Chen had already brought the things in for him. The packaging was an exquisite wooden box, printed with the sign of a high-end private restaurant. Yan Shenyu remembered that this restaurant didn't offer delivery or accept walk-ins; it was a very upscale restaurant that only accepted reservations.
However, now, all kinds of food boxes are densely packed on the table, with astonishing portions and dishes, enough for a group of people to sit down and eat.
"What are these?" Yan Shenyu was stunned. Didn't Xie Siyan say he ordered porridge?
"Yes," Aunt Chen nodded, "Why did you suddenly order so much? How long will it take to eat this!"
There was food at home, yet they went out and ordered such expensive food. Aunt Chen is always frugal, and seeing this made her heart ache.
"Why did you order so much?" Yan Shenyu took a picture and sent it to Xie Siyan.
"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought a little bit of everything. You can choose what you like to eat."
"Uh..." Okay, Yan Shenyu picked a bowl of porridge for himself, left two plates of snacks, and then said to Aunt Chen, "See who hasn't gotten up yet, leave a portion for them, and you and Uncle Huang can share the rest."
“Oh, it doesn’t matter what we eat,” Aunt Chen said, shaking her head. “It’s such a waste to give us such expensive food. I’ll save it for you to have for breakfast tomorrow. It’s only one night, it won’t go bad.”
"We've already ordered it, so it's just an occasional treat," Yan Shenyu said to Aunt Chen in a coquettish tone. "You work so hard, it's actually the most appropriate thing for you to eat here."
"You really are..." Aunt Chen was amused by him and stopped resisting. She turned around and distributed food to everyone.
After Yan Shenyu finished her porridge, she took a picture and sent it to Xie Siyan: "I've finished eating."
The picture shows the bare bottom of a bowl, with his left hand holding the bowl, and the hand visible in the shot is long and fair.
Xie Siyan looked at it for a while, clicked to save the photo, and then dragged it into the private album.
He handed his phone to Secretary Lin, looked at the group of subordinates in suits and ties in front of him, and there was no longer a trace of a smile on his face.
"Now, can anyone tell me," Xie Siyan stared, his gaze growing colder, "why hasn't the renewal contract for Darnier chips been successfully signed by August?"
The group of people below were trembling with fear. After a while, the project leader stood up: "Yes, yes, in previous years the contract would have been signed long ago by this time, but this year... In early spring this year, Daniel's three North American factories were hit by an extreme snowstorm, which reduced production capacity. In the summer, the person in charge was hospitalized due to heatstroke, which slowed down the cooperation process."
"Is that so?" Xie Siyan raised an eyebrow, speaking calmly. "But I heard that they've already signed a contract with Miton Technology?"
As global manufacturers of consumer electronics, Miton Technology and Wildfire Technology have maintained a fierce competitive relationship since their inception.
Chips are the most crucial component of electronic devices, and Wildfire Technology has failed to secure chips for next year, while their competitors have…
The person in charge broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained, "This was my mistake, but the person in charge at Daniel guarantees that the contract will definitely be signed by the end of this month at the latest!"
Xie Siyan withdrew his gaze, devoid of any emotion: "Then I'll give you another month. If there are any problems, give me feedback promptly. If you need my intervention, let me know and communicate in a timely manner."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
After the meeting, Xie Siyan instructed Secretary Lin: "Call Bai Ming here for me."
A moment later, a young man wearing a black T-shirt walked in, a sly smile playing on his lips: "Boss, you called me?"
Xie Siyan cut to the chase: "How long until Wildfire's self-developed chips can be put into application?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ming's nonchalant expression vanished.
...
After finishing breakfast, Yan Shenyu ran into Fu Jingran at Yan Sheng's door.
The latter, wearing a wrinkled shirt, smiled broadly, revealing a set of white teeth, when he saw him: "Good morning, brother-in-law, I'm off now!"
Yan Shenyu nodded. As he passed by next door, he saw Yan Sheng standing at the door. He was wearing a loose T-shirt with the collar askew to one side, revealing a large expanse of fair skin and a ring of pink hickeys.
"Xiao Yan," he said, somewhat awkwardly and anxiously, pulling Yan Shenyu directly into the camera room with his back to him, "Do you have time this weekend?"
"Not necessarily," Yan Shenyu asked him. "What's wrong?"
Yan Sheng hesitated for a long time before whispering, "I want to spend the weekend with you."
"With me?" Yan Shenyu was somewhat surprised. "Didn't you just start dating?"
“That’s it…” Yan Sheng lowered her head, her ears flushed pink, “Fu Jingran is too clingy. He’s been pestering me lately, and I can’t take it anymore. So… so I told him I had something to do with you this weekend and asked him not to come over.”
"I don't have time for that," Yan Shenyu laughed. "Besides, I seem to remember you being the one clinging to him last night?"
Yan Sheng was taken aback, only then realizing that Yan Shenyu had seen it last night. He froze, his cheeks flushing red: "I...I didn't mean for it to be this fast..."
“No need to explain to me,” Yan Shenyu said with a smile, patting his shoulder. “I’m happy to see you doing well now.”
Yan Sheng was stunned, her eyes reddening slightly.
"I……"
"Alright, alright, please don't cry. It's not like you're getting married. I have something to do, so I'll head back now."
"Are you really not free this weekend?" Yan Sheng's voice came from behind, sounding pitiful. "I'm not bringing Fu Jingran, it'll just be the two of us."
"No, I really don't have time." Yan Shenyu waved and left, quite decisively.
At noon, Yan Shenyu received a WeChat message from Xie Siyan.
Are you free this weekend?
Yes, what is it?
I know a campsite that's said to be nice; we could go and stay there for one night.
【Can.】
The message had just been sent when Xie Siyan called.
"You're unemployed?" Yan Shenyu noticed that Xie Siyan had been calling him much more frequently lately.
"Lunch break," Xie Siyan's voice sounded relaxed, with a hint of languor, "I want to hear you talk."
"Ahem..." Caught off guard by the sudden commotion, Yan Shenyu cleared his throat before asking, "Why did you suddenly decide to go camping?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to go?" Xie Siyan said. "I recently found a nice place and was wondering if you wanted to come along."
He said he wanted to go before?
Yan Shenyu recalled for a moment, and then remembered that he seemed to have said something like that.
Camping has become incredibly popular lately, and in just two months, he's seen countless photos of it on his WeChat Moments. A few days ago, Wu Yun and her boyfriend also went camping, and she excitedly video-called him to show him the scenery in the mountains.
Yan Shenyu, having had his fill of being bombarded with PDA, finally posted a complaint on his WeChat Moments: "It feels like everyone on my Moments is camping, except for me. [Smile]"
When Xie Siyan gave him a thumbs up, he thought Xie Siyan was mocking him, but he didn't expect that Xie Siyan had already prepared for this.
Yan Shenyu smiled and pressed on, "So where are we going? Are we going to drive an off-road vehicle? And do we need to buy equipment?"
"No need, I'm all ready," Xie Siyan said relaxedly. "I'll drive over to pick you up."
"Won't this interfere with your work?"
"I'm not a robot. No matter how busy I am at work, I still need time to relax." Xie Siyan seemed to smile. "Then I'll pick you up on Saturday morning. What time do you usually get up?"
"Around six or seven o'clock."
Don't you sleep in?
"Basically not, going to bed early and waking up early is good for your health."
Xie Siyan seemed to chuckle again, his voice low and deep, with a hint of something fishy in it: "Okay, I'll come over at 8 o'clock. You can get ready first."
"good."
Yan Shenyu hung up the phone with her ears turning red, unable to suppress a hint of excitement.
Her heart was pounding, and her palms were sweating. Yan Shenyu's mind flashed back to Xie Siyan talking on the phone, and she suddenly felt an unprecedented surge of emotion.
A subtle emotion spread through my heart, like a seed that, after enduring a long period of darkness in the cold winter, finally sprouted on a rainy spring day.
Two tender green shoots, bathed in sunlight, danced merrily in the breeze.
Yan Shenyu lay on the bed, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
So this is what liking someone is.
Chapter 49 Help! Someone's licking me!
On Saturday, Yan Shenyu got up very early.
Outside the window, everything was still a deep blue, with a hint of dawn appearing in the east, gradually turning red under his gaze.
Yan Shenyu first went for a run around the lake, then took a shower after returning, and after breakfast, she carefully checked all the things she had packed the night before.
When I checked the time, it was only 7:30.
It's 7:30! Why is time passing so slowly?
Yan Shenyu lay on the bed, letting the sunlight stream through the window onto his face, his fingers idly darting about in the light.
Suddenly, the phone on the bed vibrated.
