Chapter 45

With a click, the door was completely closed.

Sheng Jinyu pinched his head which was aching like it was exploding, and slowly sat up. When he saw the surrounding environment clearly, his pupils suddenly trembled.

His coat and tie were scattered on the ground, his shirt was open, revealing his chest and abdomen, and a button was missing...

It was crumpled beyond recognition and the pants were gone.

Sheng Jinyu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. His brain, which was dull and aching from a hangover, could not recall any useful information, but he vaguely remembered an expression of panic, helplessness, shame and anger on a face that was flushed due to lack of oxygen.

He once held her soft lips in his mouth and savored them carefully, invading them madly and domineeringly.

He kissed Su He, and then what happened?

Sheng Jinyu pressed his temples with a gloomy expression. He tilted his head, and out of the corner of his eye spotted a suspicious white mark on the bed sheet...

…

On the other side, Su He had already run back to his room. He had obviously done nothing, but for some reason, he felt guilty like a thief, as if he had forcefully kissed Sheng Jin.

The heart in his chest was beating wildly. He raised his hand to cover his cheek, but it felt so hot that it seemed to be burning red.

Su He was speechless and thought to himself: What a loser!

It was just an accident caused by drinking, it’s...nothing.

He washed his face with cold water. Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Su He subconsciously hesitated and didn't want to go out, or rather, he didn't want to see someone.

He didn't realize at all that this evasive behavior was actually making things more obvious. If Su He could calm down at this time, he would find that his dishonesty at this moment had actually planted the seeds for falling in love.

It happened that the staff of the publishing house called again to make an appointment, and Su He felt that he had found a sufficient reason.

He held the phone, biting his lower lip, deleting and revising, and sent a message to Sheng Jinyu on WeChat to ask for leave. He was so confused that he didn't realize that his behavior was unnecessary.

Until he stood in the restaurant and caught a glimpse of Sheng Jin walking down the stairs with a tired look on his face, his gaze flew away again, looking left and right.

Sheng Jinyu looked at him meaningfully and asked in a low voice, "It's such a small place. Why can't you say it in person instead of sending a message?"

Su He opened his mouth, feeling a little foolish, and explained casually, "For something like asking for leave, it's more formal to write it down."

Sheng Jinyu glanced at him for a long time, until he was annoyed with Su He, then he pulled out the dining table and chairs and sat down. Su He went to the kitchen to help Sister Ling bring up the last bowl of soup, and then he stood stupidly by the table without moving.

"Sit down." Sheng Jinyu raised his chin.

Su He lowered his head, not daring to look at his face. The gentle whispers and eager breathing in his memory were too real, burning him all the way from his cheeks to his heart. He said dryly, "No, no."

His resistance and avoidance were too obvious. Sheng Jinyu glanced at the tip of his slightly red ear, tightened his fingers holding the bowl, and asked casually with a nonchalant look, "Does your butt hurt?"

Su He was stunned.

"Ah?" He looked up confusedly, "It doesn't hurt."

Sheng Jin nodded in an ambiguous manner, and Su He finally realized that his behavior was a bit abnormal.

He simply sat down quickly, picked up his bowl and started eating.

In the past, he ate in a very elegant manner, even delicate and meticulous. But today, he didn't know what happened. He ate as if he had been hungry for three days. He didn't even raise his head, and his eyes never left the tempting dishes on the table.

Sheng Jinyu became more and more certain of his suspicions. Something must have happened last night!

He figured there was nothing to hide, and it was better to explain it now than to sow trouble later, so he said, "Last night..."

Before he could finish his words, Su He put down the bowl in an exaggerated manner, making a crisp bang on the silent dining table.

"I totally forgot!" Su He wiped the rice soup from the corner of his mouth and tried to smile openly, "I know you drank a lot. We are all adults, it's nothing, hahahaha, ha!"

After saying this, Su He almost bit his tongue. He could talk about theoretical knowledge related to love in hundreds of thousands of words.

But when it comes to sex and desire between people and between flesh and flesh, one is clumsy and at a loss.

It was just a few kisses anyway, and he didn't lose any meat, so there was no need to hold on to it.

Well, in the adult world, we have to learn to be a little vague.

Sheng Jinyu was slightly stunned, and his expression changed after a while. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he just felt a tightness in his chest, a little annoyed and a little irritated.

He said expressionlessly, "Okay."

The two people, each with their own thoughts, ate the meal absent-mindedly, even more silently than usual, with an indescribable awkwardness and ambiguity in their hearts.

Sheng Jinyu finally approved Su He's leave, and Su He hurriedly packed up and threw himself out of Xiaoxie Garden, running as fast as he could without even looking back.

In front of the clean and bright floor-to-ceiling window, Sheng Jinyu frowned as he watched Su He's fleeing back and called Yan Yichen.

He first asked a very strange question: "Did I really drink too much last night?"

Yan Yichen moved to another location late last night and played all night. He had just woken up and his voice was still sleepy: "It's more than just too much, I think you're a little crazy!"

With a curious heart, he lazily asked, "What crazy things did you do after Assistant Su took you back?"

“…”

Sheng Jin was silent for a while, then he threw out a thunderclap: "Yichen, I think... I slept with him."

"Oh slept...what!?"

Yan Yichen's mind, which hadn't been turned on yet, was completely clear. He asked anxiously, "You slept with him? It's not that you slept with him, it's that you! Slept with! Him!"

That’s a huge difference!

One is a consensual relationship between two parties, and the other is Sheng Jin's unilateral beastly behavior!

How could this pure-hearted, arrogant brother of his actually do such a beastly thing?!

"You..." Yan Yichen was choked, and after a while he said, "Wait, what do you mean by 'as if'?"

Sheng Jinyu's face was expressionless, and his voice sounded calm, but the movement of his hand stroking the phone seemed to be in agony: "Because I can't remember, but he..."

His memory stopped when Su He led him into the bedroom and turned to leave, but he vaguely remembered that Su He finally came back.

Yes, not only did he come back, he probably stayed in the room all night.

He left in a hurry this morning, and his fleeing back is still imprinted in Sheng Jinyu's mind.

He originally thought that he would feel annoyed or angry because of this matter, annoyed with this tricky situation, angry at himself for not being able to control himself, but the truth was, he actually felt a little annoyed.

How could he not remember anything? How did they do it? He had actually forgotten the entire process...

In addition, there was a suppressed restlessness deep in his body, like magma and hot fluid about to erupt, ready to break through the ground, stirring up his reason and calmness.

Yan Yichen tutted several times, feeling a sense of expected absurdity. He stopped sarcasm and asked, "What happened to him? What did he say? Did he jump up and beat you up?"

Sheng Jinyu turned around, and the sunlight shone into the pearl fish tank through the glass window, making the two goldfish glow all over.

He stared at the goldfish in silence for a few seconds, then said, "He said just pretend it never happened."

"Oh, from your tone, why do you sound a little regretful?" Yan Yichen asked with a smile.

Sheng Jinyu stopped talking, which was strange. Even though Yan Yichen had a lot of experience, he couldn't help but be astonished by the complicated relationship between the two of them.

He sighed, "He's a playboy, but he fell in love with you. He was in love with you but couldn't get you. Now that he's slept with you, he's afraid that you'll hate him, so he pretends nothing happened."

"Brother, this makes me believe in love!" Yan Yichen sighed exaggeratedly.

Sheng Jinyu continued to remain silent. The image of Su He with a red face and cautious look just now appeared in front of him, which made him feel very unhappy.

"It's not like you're not interested in him. It's just a relationship, why do you have so many concerns? If you like each other, you two should be in love. What's the point of sleeping together?" Yan Yichen said bluntly.

Sheng Jin subconsciously retorted: "What's interesting to him?"

This time, Yan Yichen didn't tolerate him and said directly: "How dare you say that you didn't treat him differently? In the past, when I made such a joke to you, you told me to get out. Now you didn't scold me? Don't you think it's abnormal?"

Sheng Jin was speechless for a moment: "Are you a masochist?"

Yan Yichen quickly denied it, and after saving his reputation, he continued, "Have you forgotten that those who showed affection for you in the past were all rejected terribly by you? They won't even have the chance to get close to you again, but what about Su He?"

"At first, the idea that he might like you was just a guess, but you gradually became convinced of it. Not only did you not think about staying away from him, but you actually enjoyed it?"

Enjoy it...

"I don't believe you when you say you have no interest in him..."

Yan Yichen's voice was still ringing incessantly from the other side, but Sheng Jinyu didn't hear a word and was still struggling. He pondered these four words over and over again, and he really couldn't refute it.

His attitude towards Su He...maybe it is indeed different.

But Su He's attitude made him hesitate. Sometimes he felt that Su He liked him very much, and sometimes he felt that Su He was too self-disciplined and had no impulse towards him at all.

But the more this is the case, the more it tries to cover up and seems to be there and not there, the more it is bewitching and makes people scratch their heads and feel itchy.

Sheng Jinyu sighed, thinking that he was probably finished.

·

In the evening, the red glow stretched across the entire sky, and the air was filled with humid heat.

Su He came back from the publishing house after finishing his work. Sheng Jinyu was not there, so he met the gray calico stray cat in the villa again.

In the past, this little guy didn't dare to enter the gate, probably because he had been driven away by servants from other families. He only dared to wander around the outside of the villa looking for food. Every time Su He passed by and saw it, he would feed it something.

Over time, Su He bought some cat food and fed the cat whenever he saw it.

Now this little calico is lying blatantly by the fountain. Its bean-sized body is not even as long as its forearm. Perhaps it is so hungry that it dares to stick its head into the water to catch a pond of ornamental koi.

When Su He caught her red-handed, Xiao Sanhua was holding a small koi the size of two fingers in her mouth. She was lifted up by the neck and glanced at him timidly with her round eyes.

Look at the koi again, it is already dead and can't even jump.

Su He sighed, patted Sanhua's little head, and murmured, "I heard this fish is very expensive. What if you get beaten?"

But he turned around and denied himself: "But Sheng Jinyu shouldn't bother with you."

He put the cat on the ground and was about to go back to the house to get some cat food to feed it, but he saw the kitten limping up to him, carefully putting the fish at his feet, and began to meow pitifully, as if afraid that Su He would scold him for it, so he quickly returned the fish.

It ran with a limp, and Su He took a closer look and found that its hind legs seemed not very flexible, as if it was injured.

The pitiful way the little creature wagged its tail made Su He start to have some ideas again.

He already has fish, so can he... also have a cat?

Does Sheng Jin agree with the meeting?
