"Then I'll accept it."

Si Jin picked up the business card and, right in front of Xia Linyuan, turned on her phone.

Enter the number and dial the number.

Sure enough, Xia Linyuan's white phone rang.

The man's eyes lit up.

For some reason, Xia Linyuan's heart trembled when the phone rang.

It felt like receiving a call from someone I hadn't heard from in a long time; my heart was pounding.

He smiled and picked up the phone to show Si Jin: "Look, is this the number?"

Si Jin stared at it for a while, then suddenly said, "Something's not right. It seems like one of the numbers is wrong. Hold it closer so I can take a closer look."

How could the numbers be wrong if the call has already gone through?

But Si Jin's words came so suddenly that Xia Linyuan didn't react for a moment and actually brought the phone even closer.

The next instant, Si Jin grasped his hand.

The man's cool fingertips brushed across the back of his hand, the touch as light as a butterfly's wing.

But just as she was about to let go, she pinched the tip of his ring finger hard.

It seemed to be reminding him that these touches were intentional.

A slight pain gradually spread to his heart, causing ripples. Xia Linyuan's ear tips turned slightly red. Before he could react, he heard Si Jin say.

"The number is correct. Sorry, I just misread it."

Yes, the number is correct.

How could a number that has already been dialed be wrong?

Was Nan Sijin deliberately trying to hold his hand just now?

Realizing this, Xia Linyuan's heart pounded even harder.

She lowered her head and shoveled a couple of mouthfuls of rice, then couldn't eat anything else. Instead, she would steal glances at Si Jin every now and then while eating.

In the end, Si Jin finished her meal, while Xia Linyuan spilled rice all over the floor.

So easily charmed?

Si Jin looked at him with amusement: "Is this how rich people waste food?"

Xia Linyuan then realized that he had spilled rice all over the floor and looked up embarrassedly.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke: "Mr. Nan, there are some things I need to explain to you first."

"I'm gay, I was born that way."

Si Jin: "So?"

"Therefore, I like men."

Si Jin continued, "Well... I'm not a woman either."

No...not a woman?

What does "南司矜" mean?

Does that mean he can like him?

Or is it simply about emphasizing gender?

While Xia Linyuan was still stunned, Si Jin had already stood up and turned around with a faint smile: "Thank you for your hospitality. See you tomorrow, Director."

After saying that, he turned and left the room.

With all the doors closed, Xia Linyuan still couldn't figure out what Si Jin meant.

All I know is that after the person left, I felt inexplicably empty inside.

He finished cleaning up the dishes, picked up his phone, and repeatedly dialed Si Jin's number.

I spent half an hour debating whether to call, half an hour debating whether to send a text message, and another half hour debating whether to add them on WeChat.

Just when I was about to give up completely, the phone rang.

Xia Linyuan was overjoyed and quickly picked up his phone. It was a call from the pet center: "Mr. Xia, your cat has completed its vaccinations. Would you like to pick it up now?"

Xia Linyuan then suddenly remembered that he had taken the cat to get vaccinated that morning.

This delay caused me to completely forget about it.

"I'll take it back right now."

Xia Linyuan went out to pick up the cat, and when he came back, he seemed to have thought of a good idea and bought a lot of cat food and cat toys.

She put the cat in the car first, then took only the cat food and knocked on the door of Si Jin's rest room.

Si Jin opened the door and saw the same sunny young man in a leather jacket.

"Um, Mr. Nan, these are my cat's food and toys. Your room is closer to the front door, could you store them for me for now? I'll go pick up my cat in a bit."

Si Jin turned her gaze and looked at the lounge where Xia Linyuan was only a step away from the door.

Then he looked at the lounge at the very end of the corridor.

So... he's closer to the door here?

However, Si Jin didn't expose him, but instead smiled and took the cat food back.

Sure enough, a little while later, Xia Linyuan came knocking on the door again, carrying the cat: "Mr. Nan, my cat is always restless at night. Could I let it play with the cat toy here for a while?"

Si Jin lowered her eyes and glanced at the listless American Shorthair tabby cat in Xia Linyuan's arms.

The kitten was very quiet, and gave a very uncooperative yawn.

It's as if it's saying: Master, I'm sleepy, I don't want to play with the cat toy, meow~
