"I agree."

Ningtong Trading Company VIP room.

The credit approval process was complex, smooth, and silent. The sound of machine printing was heard occasionally. The red and white two-copy business form was passed back and forth in the hands of the account manager and Chen Youhan in tacit understanding. The pen tip scratched across the face, making a rustling sound. The room was very cold, and Chen Youhan's hand holding the pen was frozen, but he did not hesitate when signing. After signing the last form, the account manager's smile and voice were sweet and well-trained: "Okay, that's it, Mr. Chen, happy cooperation."

What happened next had nothing to do with her. The glass door was pushed open, and only four people were left in the room. The Ye family's lawyer took out the drafted legal documents from his briefcase. Ye Jin took it and handed it to Chen Youhan in person. Chen Youhan did not take it. Lawyer Xu from the head office followed in person and took the documents naturally. It was just two thin pages, and the rights, responsibilities and obligations of both parties were clearly listed.

Lawyer Xu has been in the industry for more than 30 years, and this was the first time he saw relevant legal provisions in this regard. His face changed slightly and he turned to look at Chen Youhan.

"If there's no problem, go ahead." Chen Youhan uncapped the pen.

There is no room for dispute, all terms are clear and concise.

Xu Lu put down the contract silently and stood up with a complicated expression.

Ye Jin also nodded slightly to the lawyer, and the two of them went out one after another. Finally, only two people were left in the quiet space.

"Xiao Kai is doing very well. He still ranked first in the grade in the third mock exam. The college entrance exam is in three weeks, and he is in good shape."

Chen Youhan nodded, and the tip of his pen stopped at Party B's signature column.

The clock ticked for two seconds, the pen was put down, he pushed the chair away and stood up: "Sorry."

Ye Jin followed his back as he walked out the door, and saw him take out a cigarette and a lighter, and put the cigarette into his mouth impatiently, as if a drug addict was craving drugs. The moment the cigarette was lit, he leaned against the wall, and the broad back muscles relaxed from the nervous tension. This is the Ningtong head office building, a floor dedicated to VIP customers, and no one will come to tell him that smoking is prohibited here.

The swirling smoke blurred his profile, which was stiff and tense like a stone.

Ye Jin withdrew his gaze.

Three minutes later, Chen Youhan opened the door and sat down again. His hair was wet, and Ye Jin saw the red bloodshot in his eyes.

The tip of the pen passed over, but no ink came out. It turned out that the pen had dried up. He shook it, muffled a self-deprecating laugh from his chest, pressed down the paper, and re-drew the first stroke that had failed just now. The black ink soaked the A4 paper, and the three characters "Chen Youhan" were written in a flamboyant style, just like the ones he signed on every document.

With the same signature, he sold off GC's high-quality assets one after another, sold off his sports cars one after another, sold off the properties under his name, and sold off the old employees who had followed GC for many years - now, he was selling off Ye Kai.

The contracts were swapped on the table. Ye Jin bent down to write her name and said without emotion, "I told Xiao Kai that love is only a very insignificant part of your life. You won't go crazy for love." She paused, "I don't know why, when I knew I guessed right, I didn't feel very happy."

"Ms. Ye has a keen eye for talent," Chen Youhan curled his lips and said hoarsely, "Their tactics are also very beautiful. I have to admit that they are better."

Ye Jin remained indifferent.

"Xiao Kai is not the perfect heir to the Ye family, you are."

Two weeks before the college entrance examination, I started to go to school as a day student. Bi Sheng repeatedly stressed that everyone should not be too nervous, should not be obsessed with answering questions, and should relax and adjust their state. Ye Kai did not have this worry. He faced too many important occasions during his growth and his mentality was very stable. Qu Jia did not control him too much, and he was still allowed to play with his mobile phone. Ye Kai occasionally played games and sent WeChat messages to Chen Youhan in the intervals between reading the wrong questions.

Maybe he was really busy, and his frequency of replying was much lower than before. When he called her via video at night, he would always hang up, and later send a short explanation, such as being in a meeting, working overtime, socializing, or having a dinner. After a few times, Ye Kai gradually learned not to disturb her.

It’s just that we’re still chatting on WeChat.

: Brother Youhan

: I miss you a little

Ten minutes, half an hour, no reply. I could only see Chen Youhan's reply after I finished my test paper. He said:

I miss you as well.

: Are you free this weekend? Can I come see you?

Three hours after disappearing, the dialog box was updated: I have to work overtime, you should review well.

The offer from the prestigious university finally came, and he took a screenshot to share: I now have twenty offers from world-class universities.

At this time, Chen Youhan replied quickly. He said: Do you collect stamps?

Ye Kai lay on the bed and laughed, his calves shaking.

: I don’t know either. It was Ms. Qu who asked people to apply.

: After graduation, you will become a famous and outstanding alumnus of Tianyi.

: Thank you for the compliment, senior.

After a long, long time, Chen Youhan asked: Have you decided which one?

The person waiting for a reply was unwilling to put down his phone. The interface remained on the conversation page between the two people, and even the timeout lock screen function was turned off. Ye Kai saw it accurately, but before he could type the first word, the message was withdrawn.

He said: Why withdraw? I saw it.

The dialog box shows that the other party is typing. Over and over again, a minute or two passes, and the lie is clumsy: wrong key.

Ye Kai has his own secret. He pretends to be mysterious: I will tell you in July.

But such small talk eventually became less and less frequent.

On the last afternoon before the exam, Ye Kai woke up from a short, well-timed nap and suddenly felt an overwhelming desire to see Chen Youhan. The sound of cicadas chirping through the window made his temples throb with pain. He asked carefully: Brother Youhan, I want to see you.

According to working hours, it was GC's lunch break. Chen Youhan replied after ten minutes: In the office.

Ye Kai said: Can I take a selfie?

A cute watch clearance pack is included.

: Selfies are ugly.

:...It's okay, I won't dislike you.

After a while, a photo came from the phone. It was in the tea room, the light was bright, Chen Youhan's cheeks seemed thinner than before, with a smile on his lips, still very handsome. It was obvious that he took the photo, Ye Kai thought, maybe Gu Xiu was conscripted.

The photos were saved locally and Ye Kai didn't bother him anymore.

Qu Jia was arranging flowers in the small living room downstairs. She heard some noise on the stairs and came out with a pair of scissors in her hand. She saw Ye Kai had changed his clothes and was holding a stack of papers in his hand.

"Where are you going?"

"Let's go to school." Ye Kai changed into canvas shoes at the entrance, his body under the white T-shirt full of vitality.

"I'll give it to you?" Qu Jia handed the scissors to the florist and took off her apron.

"No need, Mom. I called a special car." Ye Kai waved at her: "I'll be back in an hour."

There was no teacher, and there was no problem he couldn't solve. He lied to himself and took a taxi to the GC building. He registered with his ID card at the front desk on the first floor, exchanged it for a temporary access card, and took the elevator to the 65th floor. Everything was the same as before, except that it looked much quieter and more empty than before.

Gu Xiu ran into him first.

"Xiao Kai?" He was very surprised. "Why are you here?"

Ye Kai made a hushing gesture to him.

Gu Xiu's expression was complicated for a moment, then he packed up and said in a normal tone, "He's in the office."

Ye Kai saw that the blinds were not closed. Chen Youhan was walking around the office very slowly, with one hand on his waist, his cell phone facing his face, and his face looked unfriendly.

Ye Kai walked quickly through the large office, not even having time to notice the empty workstations.

The office door opened with a very quiet sound. Chen Youhan did not turn around, perhaps thinking it was Gu Xiu. Ye Kai walked over quietly and pressed the main switch of the blinds. Chen Youhan turned halfway around slowly, and before he could see clearly, the young man's arms were wrapped around his waist.

He suddenly froze, the phone slipped from his hand, and the other party's surprised voice came from the receiver, and there was silence here.

His Adam's apple rolled, and Chen Youhan couldn't find the courage to speak.

Ye Kai couldn't help laughing: "Is it that scary?"

The body in his arms finally relaxed after asking this question. His slightly cool palm pressed against the back of Ye Kai's hand, and Chen Youhan tried his best to remain calm in the midst of the embarrassment: "I thought it was a dream."

It's not a dream.

Ye Kai pressed against his neck and cheek. After two seconds, he turned his face to the other side. The breath he spoke was sweet and hot, spraying into Chen Youhan's nostrils.

He whispered, "Brother Youhan, kiss me."

The hand hanging at the side was clenched into a fist.

Even the finger bones were turning white.

Chen Youhan's voice was dry: "Stop making trouble."

The embrace loosened, Ye Kai was stunned, his two arms dropped from Chen Youhan's waist: "Why don't you look back at me?"

Chen Youhan laughed at himself, his usual careless laugh that made it hard to tell what his emotions were. He turned around, with a normal expression, but in person he looked more haggard than in the photo, as if he hadn't slept well. He looked deeply at Ye Kai's innocent, bright, and beautiful face, raised his hand, and stroked his eyes with his fingertips: "Have you gained weight?"

Ye Kai's eyes were in a panic: "A little bit, two pounds, okay, three pounds - I don't even have time to play tennis!"

Chen Youhan smiled and said, "I have an exam tomorrow, why did you come out?"

"I said I would go to the teacher to ask him a very difficult question."

Chen Youhan would always see through his cunning and coquettish nature, and would always follow his wishes and ask questions even though he knew the answer.

He said, "What problem stumps you?"

"I'm asking the teacher," Ye Kai was coaxed by him and hugged him tightly again, "Why has Chen Youhan ignored me recently?"

Chen Youhan finally responded to him.

He raised his hands and hugged him. At first, it was just one arm. The strong forearm became more and more powerful. Later, it was two arms. One held his shoulders and back, and the other tightly wrapped around his waist, forming a gesture that was unwilling to let go.

Ye Kai stood on tiptoe. This time, Chen Youhan kissed him without waiting for him to speak.

The tenderness and love gradually got out of control and turned into a possessive and overbearing kiss.

The taxi took the boy back home.

He sat in the back seat, humming a song and writing down analytical formulas on the paper with his pen.

Before leaving, Chen Youhan wished him good luck in the exam, everything goes well, and everything will go well forever.
