Chapter 37 Be More Reserved

Wen Shuang waited until the temperature on his body subsided before he realized that he was nestled in Xuan Zhe's arms. He suddenly felt embarrassed. The man's palm was gently on his shoulder. The indescribable sense of security, which seemed to be separated by a layer but was extremely real, made it difficult for him to adapt.

"Mr. Xuan..." Wen Shuang pulled away slightly, and Xuan Zhe let go without any intention of forcing her.

"Sorry, I embarrassed you..." Wen Shuang glanced around and found that there were quite a few people sitting opposite her through the glass window. They must have noticed the movements here a long time ago.

Xuanzhe: "It's okay, whatever you want to eat"

How could he have any appetite when he was in such a shame? Wen Shuang lowered his head and said, "Whatever, I'm not hungry."

Xuanzhe raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, how could such words come out of your mouth?

Braised prawns, garlic oysters, spicy squid, and so on. Anyway, this restaurant has no shortage of seafood, but because of its high-end, the dishes are more delicate, not so-called, and the quantity is small. Mr. Xuan usually pays attention to others, but today he goes by the quantity for the first time, and starts with three plates. The gaps on the table are filled with juice. Seeing Wen Shuang's eyes getting brighter and brighter, Xuan Zhe said in a deep voice: "Are you hungry now?"

Wen Shuang sucked her saliva and gave a flattering smile: "Hungry."

Xuanzhe glanced at the red mole on his earlobe, his throat moving slightly, "Eat when you're hungry."

Wen Shuang was slapped in the face at the speed of light. He was so busy eating that he couldn't even lift his head. Little Quail also had a conscience and took the time to peel a few shrimps for Xuan Zhe, or pick up some vegetables. Seeing his cheeks bulging, Xuan Zhe was speechless for a moment.

He was in a circle that ordinary people could not even dream of. Although he never had a male or female companion with him, he had seen too many terrible things. Those seemingly innocent and romantic lovers were actually greedy. Every word they said carried hints and deep meanings. Behind all the romance was a naked exchange of interests. Some people in high positions liked to hear these things. Xuan Zhe couldn't figure out what was so good about them. They were hypocritical and disgusting.

But Wen Shuang is different. He can be so satisfied with this meal which only costs a few dollars.

As expected, what I like is different, President Xuan said lightly in his heart.

Food has the effect of healing the soul. Anyway, Wen Shuang had already forgotten whether it was embarrassing or not after eating. It was already eight o'clock in the evening when she and Xuan Zhe came out of the restaurant. Street lights on both sides of the street were on and night fell.

I had just watched a horror movie during the day, and I didn't feel anything when there were so many people around. But at night, only those who can understand the feeling know it. Wen Shuang began to recall various scenes in the movie, especially the scene where her toes hit the wall that Xuan Zhe had reminded her of. But as a grown-up, it was too embarrassing to say that she was afraid.

Arriving downstairs at Wen Shuang's house, Xuanzhe asked considerately, "Is it okay to be alone?"

Wen Shuang slammed the car door with a rare effort, her voice coming through the half-open window, "No problem!"

Okay, Mr. Xuan nodded. He didn’t think an adult man was too fragile.

Wen Shuang simply didn't know Xuanzhe's thoughts, otherwise she would definitely hug his thigh and say, "I'm very fragile!"

This was the first time Wen Shuang suffered from severe insomnia since coming into this world. The film was indeed a success, causing her to toss and turn late into the night. She dreamed of being chased by ghosts. The next day, she had to get up at seven o'clock to work overtime. After washing up with a dizzy head, Wen Shuang stared at her poor-looking self in the mirror for a few minutes. It seemed that she had forgotten something very important, but she couldn't remember it no matter what, so she gave up.

Wen Shuang is an example of someone whose energy and condition drop as soon as he wakes up from a doze. He came to the company and greeted several colleagues one by one, then turned to go to the tea room to pour coffee, and coincidentally met Zhao Jiaqing again.

Regarding the last time she was locked in the cold storage room, Wen Shuang's explanation to the outside world was "it was too fast and I didn't see clearly." Zhao Jiaqing was a person who paid great attention to his image. In order to leave a deep impression on people, he sprayed a unique perfume. When the power switch came off that day, Wen Shuang smelled this scent, but she had insufficient evidence.

Wen Shuang was carried out by Xuan Zhe himself. Zhao Jiaqing didn't know if he was scared, but he restrained himself a lot afterwards. Anyway, when he met Wen Shuang, he was no longer as difficult as before, but he didn't give her a good look either.

Seeing Wen Shuang, Zhao Jiaqing forced a smile from his expressionless face, so stiff that it made people's scalps tingle, "Good morning."

Wen Shuang was still immersed in the aftereffects of the horror movie. At this moment, Zhao Jiaqing looked like a madman in the movie. She wished she could get out of sight immediately. "Good morning."

"I heard Zheng Yuanfei is back." Zhao Jiaqing turned his back to Wen Shuang and suddenly said, "Congratulations."

Wen Shuang's eyes flickered, and she walked out without saying anything.

Zhao Jiaqing was too anxious... Wen Shuang took a sip of coffee. Before he came to Quanyi, he knew someone was familiar with his persistent pursuit of Zheng Yuanfei. However, Zheng Yuanfei was an artist and had been completely blocking the news. In other words, how could Zhao Jiaqing, an outsider from the beginning to the end, know about it? And how could he say those suggestive words just now? Did he conduct a thorough investigation or was he instructed by someone?

Wen Shuang vaguely felt that the rules of this world were beginning to change against him again.

Cao Nanyu came down around noon.

Assistant Cao was in a good mood after having a whole day off yesterday, and he extended his hand to Wen Shuang.

Compared to his energetic appearance, Wen Shuang's dark circles under her eyes clearly showed that she had not woken up yet. She looked confused and said, "Ah..."

Cao Nanyu: "Lunch."

Wen Shuang suddenly woke up, "What the hell! I just said I forgot something when I woke up this morning!"

Cao Nanyu widened his eyes slightly when he saw this: "You didn't bring it..."

Wen Shuang: “I didn’t do it.”

Cao Nanyu: “…”

"I don't care about this." Cao Nanyu felt that going up to Mr. Xuan and telling him that he didn't have lunch would be like walking into a trap. "You handle it yourself."

Wen Shuang sighed, resigned herself to her fate and stood up.

As soon as Xuanzhe saw Wen Shuang come in with her head hung and empty-handed, he knew that today's lunch was most likely ruined. What happened? She was already impatient on the third day of pursuing him. Before Xuanzhe could ask her a few questions, he saw that Wen Shuang's panda eyes were particularly obvious, like a little quail that couldn't open its eyes in the wind and rain.

"I didn't sleep well." Xuanzhe seemed to have thought of something, and a smile faded from his eyes.

Wen Shuang nodded: "Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Xuan, I forgot when I woke up this morning."

"No problem." Xuanzhe was very generous. He raised his hand and pointed to the office cubicle with an unpredictable look on his face. "Do you see the big bed inside?"

The compartment door was half open, and Wen Shuang was not blind. "Yeah."

That bed is so big and looks so comfortable.

"It belongs to you for an hour." Xuanzhe lowered his head and continued working.

"Oh..." Wen Shuang was slow to react, and then his eyes suddenly widened, thinking that he might be hallucinating because he was too sleepy. He stared at Xuan Zhe with burning eyes, and he was so surprised that President Xuan looked up again.

"Why, you don't want to?"

"Yes!" Wen Shuang was overjoyed. He had been feeling overwhelmed since around eleven o'clock, but he had many little problems. No matter how sleepy he was, he would not sleep on anything other than a bed, and neither could he lie on the table. After receiving Xuan Zhe's affirmative answer, he ran straight to the cubicle and said with a heartfelt sigh, "Mr. Xuan, I love you!"

Xuanzhe: "..." You are such a grown-up, don't you know how to be more reserved?

This is where Xuanzhe rests. Even if it is a compartment, there is nothing wrong with it. The bed is softer than the one at home. Wen Shuang almost became unconscious as soon as he lay down on it. The sunlight shone on his body, making him feel warm. He held the extra quilt in his arms, thinking that with Xuanzhe outside, no evil spirits could get in. Those hideous faces disappeared in an instant, and the dream became extremely peaceful.

Not long after, the door was gently pushed open. Xuan Zhe stood at the door, looking at Wen Shuang, whose eyebrows and eyes gradually relaxed, as if she had entered the same dream with him, and comfort instantly spread to every part of his body.

Cao Nanyu came in to hand over the documents. Although his movements were light, they were not without sound. However, President Xuan was leaning against the door motionless and did not notice at all. Cao Nanyu glanced at him and only saw the vague outline of Wen Shuang through the gap. He sighed in his heart and tiptoed out.

A good night's sleep is more beneficial than anything else. Wen Shuang woke up feeling so refreshed that she could even set up an altar to worship Xuan Zhe.

Before leaving get off work, Zhu Lian came over and gave him the Weibo account that the company had opened in Wen Shuang's name. "We're going to record the show in a few days. Before the recording, everyone should forward the official announcement from the program team's Weibo account. Don't forget. And, if nothing unexpected happens, you and Jiang Ning will be partners in the next episode, hehe!" At this point, Zhu Lian suddenly laughed, and Wen Shuang felt uncomfortable. "Ahem, the audience likes to watch it anyway, so remember to interact more."

"Yeah." Wen Shuang responded. He was already traumatized by the recording of the show, but it was good news that his partner had changed to Jiang Ning. It should be much easier.

***

The weather forecast said it would rain in the next two days, so the program team decided to record this episode indoors. A notice was sent out at five in the afternoon. Wen Shuang remembered Zhu Lian's instructions and forwarded it immediately. Then the next second, her phone exploded like a firecracker. Wen Shuang was stunned for a moment before she realized that they were likes and comments.

[Ahhh, Wenzai, you're here! I'll be able to see you in the next episode. I'm so happy!]

Wen Shuang frowned, Wen Zai, who is Wen Zai?

Why would he, a grown man, be described as a "baby"?

Wen Shuang was a little angry and took a screenshot of the comment and sent it to Xuan Zhe.

Their interactions had obviously increased over the past few days, mainly because Wen Shuang was still scared when she slept at home the next day, so she couldn't help but send a message to Xuan Zhe, mumbling about movement inside the wall. She thought she would get no reply, but Xuan Zhe sent a long, very personal message, which was obviously typed: [Don't think about it. Walls are good conductors. To put it bluntly, it's structural sound transmission. There must be ants or other small reptiles in there. What? Are you afraid of insects too?]

Scientific explanation, well-founded.

Anyway, after Xuanzhe said this, Wen Shuang was inexplicably no longer afraid. He read every word Xuanzhe said before going to bed, as if he was carrying a talisman.

Occasionally, if there was something interesting, Wen Shuang would dare to send it to Xuan Zhe. She would be very happy if she could get a response. In Wen Shuang's opinion, Xuan Zhe was such an out-of-touch person, and it was really generous of her to listen to his meaningless words seriously!

Xuanzhe became even more cocky, knowing that Wenshuang was particularly serious about him, and sharing her life was the most direct way to show it!

Han Ling, who was participating in the show, had a concert schedule conflict, so to make up the number of people, she squeezed Lin Nuan in. Lin Nuan was once a well-known model, but later some scandals broke out, and after her endorsement was withdrawn, her reputation plummeted. After being silent for more than half a year, it is unknown how she made a comeback, but anyway, she made it in.
