Chapter 17: After Breaking Into the Boss's Room 17: Coming Out

017 After breaking into the boss's room 17

Because of Lu Mingyang's interruption, their conversation came to an abrupt end.

When their eyes met again, Lu Jiu curled the corner of her mouth downwards, turned her head quickly, and faced away from him with an attitude that was even more indifferent and more unwilling to communicate than at the beginning.

Bai Yun looked at him calmly.

It doesn't seem like he asked that question willingly.

Otherwise she wouldn't have this attitude, and she wouldn't have asked the question but seemed not to want to hear his answer at all.

Why?

He tapped his pen again, thoughtfully.

What is weighing on him?

An hour and a half after the meeting ended, Lu Jiu didn't listen to what the two said at all, and his mind was still in a mess.

All I know is that Lu Mingyang was very excited when he stood up and shook hands with Bai Yun, as if the company's stock would soar tomorrow and he would become the richest man in the country.

Lu Jiu ignored the two and walked out of the office quickly. Behind him, Lu Mingyang shouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, how can you be so rude and leave without saying hello to your brother Yun!"

Lu Jiu had a stern face and walked to the elevator and started pressing the go button desperately.

"No need to see us off, no need to see us off. We can go down by ourselves." The person behind me was still being polite.

The elevator door opened, and Lu Mingyang hurriedly chased after him and stepped into the elevator with him. After turning around, the moment before the elevator door closed, Lu Jiu saw the pair of shiny black leather shoes stopped not far away, as well as the slender legs wrapped in suit pants.

He didn't look up.

"What's your attitude? Don't you see Bai Yun has been looking at you? Can't you--" When they were left with only two people, Lu Mingyang immediately started to scold.

"The remaining money should be transferred over, right?" Lu Jiu interrupted him.

"What's your attitude!" Lu Mingyang raised his voice again.

Lu Jiu reached out to press the top button.

Lu Mingyang immediately rushed over to stop his hand, swallowing his anger and saying through gritted teeth: "...I'll have someone turn around later!"

Since Bai Yun seemed to be very cooperative with the cooperation, he transferred it!

Thinking of the conversation just now, he felt happy again.

"Although I despise your style, you are still useful. As long as you can lure Bai Yun until my cooperation with him ends, I will agree to whatever you want."

Lu Jiu raised her head and looked at him strangely.

Lu Mingyang misunderstood: "Why, do you think I underestimated you and shortened the time? You don't think Bai Yun can talk to you forever, do you? Hahaha, you are such a child, so naive."

Lu Jiu also laughed sarcastically and looked at him as if he were a fool.

The lion's sharp teeth, ready to crush its prey, were hanging over its head, but it thought it was touching a kitten.

After leaving the building, the two of them went their separate ways.

He went to the company, and when he got on the online taxi, 111 sighed in his mind.

"Host, could it be that you really misunderstood your husband? Perhaps he is not as indifferent to feelings as you think."

"I think you have a little misunderstanding about yourself!"

Lu Jiu looked out the window in silence.

"In fact, you could have dealt with your father in a more straightforward way, but you chose to come with him. You have been absent-minded these past few days!"

"Host? Wait, host, are you listening to me?"

The small system is calling the master.

Lu Jiu suddenly asked: "What will happen if I fail the mission?"

The small system was startled and stammered: "W-what?"

"Isn't the mission you gave me to correct the trajectory of my life? What happens if I fail? I won't be able to return to my original world?"

"But this isn't a failure yet! The problem between you and your ex doesn't necessarily have to be solved. The baby in your belly is also..."

Lu Jiu said something that frightened 111 even more.

"You can fail proactively in advance, right?"

"No, no, no, no! You can't do that! What do you mean by proactive failure in advance? Host, you are not allowed to let your imagination run wild. If you do that, you really won't be able to go back to your original world! Forbidden! No! Da-me!"

There was a hint of teasing in Lu Jiu's eyes. He knew that 111 had never asked his superiors.

111 cried out in a panic and tried to persuade him earnestly, "Host... you must cherish your life! How can you just end it early? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Lu Jiu held his chin up and said in a gloomy tone: "I don't want to die inexplicably, but I never said I was afraid of death."

Compared to death, a boring and struggling life is torture.

He looked at the scenery outside the window that was rapidly receding, his eyelids drooping, and fatigue swept over him again.

night.

As soon as Bai Yun found a seat in the bar, Ye Qin stood up, hooked his arm around his shoulders, and asked in a half-gloating and half-gossiping tone, "I heard that your parents called you back home again? Your sister said that this is the fifth time you've been asked to go on a blind date since your birthday party!"

"You contact my sister so frequently, does my brother-in-law know?" Bai Yun sat down and asked with a smile.

"Don't put the blame on me. You know how jealous your brother-in-law is. I have only been your sister's follower since I was a child!"

Ye Qin asked the waiter to bring the wine, "But what do you think? What are you going to do about Jiujiu? I told you in advance that if you make him unhappy, I won't let you go."

Bai Yun still smiled and leaned back.

The bar opened by Ye Qin is very noisy, a typical discotheque. At the moment, the music is blaring, the lights are bright and the wine is feasting on the table. Ye Qin needs to shout to make his words reach Bai Yun's ears. If that doesn't work, he can just pretend not to hear.

Just like now, Bai Yun didn't say anything, so Ye Qin thought he didn't hear it.

He moved closer and wanted to yell again, but found that Bai Yun was in a trance.

Young men and women were swaying their bodies on the dance floor. It was clearly approaching late autumn and the temperature had dropped to just over ten degrees, but everyone here was wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and was full of enthusiasm, making the temperature in this enclosed space seem to have risen back to twenty degrees.

Alluring glances were cast towards the booth repeatedly, but the absent-minded person responded with a tender face and indifference.

…

Parents who push you to get married are certainly difficult to deal with, but there is one person who is even more unpredictable.

When Bai Yun returned home tonight, he found that the flowers and plants his mother had planted had been replaced with a new one. This lady was good at everything else except this.

Bai Yun suddenly remembered the summer three years ago. He went to Ye's house the day after returning to China. As soon as he stepped into the villa, he saw a boy squatting next to a pot of flowers, carefully holding a parasol.

The sunlight made his skin burn white. Noticing his arrival, the boy nodded slightly to him, then looked away deliberately.

After he stared at it curiously for a minute, I finally explained, "I just watered the plants. The sun is too strong. If you don't shade them, they will burn to death."

Bai Yun looked at the sun.

So, why choose to water the flowers at this time?

Perhaps because he heard his inner voice, the boy glanced at him with dissatisfaction, and his righteous eyes seemed to say: I just did a stupid thing, so what?

Bai Yun laughed.

Suddenly I remembered that when I came here half a year ago, I seemed to have seen this child and the Ye family's golden retriever playing snowballs. The man and the dog were having a lot of fun.

…

Bai Yun himself did not expect that he would suddenly pay attention to the child of the Lu family.

After thinking about it, he firmly believed that Lu Jiu had done too many strange things, and it was understandable that he was curious about him.

When he came to his senses, he had already asked Ye Qin about him and learned that the child had just turned eighteen.

The immaturity has faded, but the youthfulness remains.

That unruly look was like a little tiger who had just realized that he would own a vast grassland but didn't know how to gallop.

Stumbling and ferocious.

At that time, Bai Yun knew that this little beast would be difficult to conquer in the future.

A thought becomes a prophecy.

Ye Qin poked him with his elbow: "What are you thinking about?"

A figure suddenly came into view, his dark grey eyes moved slightly, and his eyelashes raised.

Ye Qin looked at his younger brother who suddenly appeared in front of them with some surprise: "Why are you here too? Are you here with your friends?"

Not far away, three students-looking people gathered together, looking at this place and not daring to come over.

Ye Lin staggered over and questioned Bai Yun: "Did you ask your brother to arrange an internship for me?"

Ye Qin's ears were blurred by the music, but Bai Yun could hear it clearly.

He didn't say anything. Ye Lin's voice was filled with anger: "Want to get me away from Lu Jiu?"

Bai Yun smiled but didn't.

Ye Lin was stimulated by this expression and clenched his fists: "I am different from you. I have known him for sixteen years!"

"I left him not because of his personality change, but because... because I found that I liked him," Ye Lin was a little drunk, as if he wanted to take this opportunity to vent all his feelings. He spoke haltingly, ashamedly, but more firmly than ever before, "I didn't know he liked men, and I hated myself for becoming weird! If I had known he could do it, he and I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

He was panting, not knowing whether he was talking to Bai Yun or to himself.

"As long as he's willing to listen to me, we'll make peace! Even if we can't become lovers, we can still be brothers!"

Ye Qin watched him talking non-stop, but he didn't hear a word clearly. He stood up and pulled him: "What are you talking about, kid?"

Ye Lin stood there stubbornly, like a warrior ready to fight, angrily waiting for his opponent's counterattack.

Just then, the song ended and the music stopped abruptly.

The young and sharp figure in his memory, soaked in sunlight, was pushed backstage by him and the curtain was drawn.

Bai Yun stroked the corner of his clothes.

"You seem to be talking to the wrong person."

Ye Lin's face turned pale instantly.

Bai Yun stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, smiled, and his words were clearly heard by the two men.

"But come on, actions speak louder than words, especially for him."

Ye Qin still looked confused: "What are you two talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Bai Yun suddenly turned to him and said, "I remember you have a pony?"

"...Really? I bought it for my sister, but she doesn't like riding. I said I would give it to your wife after you get married." Ye Qin was puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"That pony is not suitable for him." Bai Yun said in a thoughtful tone.

"……ha?"

Since observation and testing are no longer possible, it is better to change the strategy.

Bai Yun is never afraid of disrupting his plans.

"I will accompany him to your stable to pick out a horse in person when I have time."

Patting Ye Qin's shoulder, he passed by the stiff Ye Lin and left as Ye Qin watched in shock.

Two days later, Shen Ke created a WeChat group. In addition to him and Lu Jiu, the group also included the two people who played billiards with them that day at the winery.

Shen Ke: "Something happened, something happened, something big happened to the Bai family!"

Chen Ke: "Brother Yun came out to his family, and I heard he got beaten up! [scream.jpg]"

Short guy: “Fuck!”

Another boy: "Fuck, is this true?!"

Chen Ke: "Brother Jiu, did you see that? Brother Jiu! @Lu Jiu"

Lu Jiu was in class and his heart skipped a beat when he saw the group chat.

...What's going on?

...So suddenly? Is this fake?

He returned to the dormitory with his textbook in shock and absent-mindedness, and was still in a daze until he lay down on the bed that night.

...It can't be because of what he said that day, right? ?

He continued to calmly maintain the three points and three lines of school, company, and dormitory. Three days later, several more friends were pulled into the group.

"Something happened, something happened, it's a big thing again!!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Hurry up and tell me!"

"After three days of fierce fighting, Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai have accepted the fact that Brother Yun likes men, but they are still worried about his lifelong affairs. After asking carefully, they found out that Brother Yun already has someone he likes. The other party is 8 years younger than him and has not yet graduated from college. Brother Yun got beaten again!"

"Fuck!"

“How could this happen!”

"They are only 8 years apart. When Yun was in college, he had already been playing in the mud for many years!"

"That's right, I don't accept it! @陆酒"

Lu Jiu: “………………”

He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

That evening, he was called back home.

The Bai family's parents brought their rebellious son to the house.
