Chapter 25: Jinjiang Dufa is too mature to be hard...
Jiang Chen overslept.
I overslept while holding Lu Chiyuan.
The moment he opened his eyes and saw Lu Chiyuan, he could not believe his eyes.
The circular curved design of the sofa means that even if it is wide enough, it is not enough for two adult men to lie side by side.
In order to occupy more space and sleep more comfortably, Jiang Chen leaned most of his body on Lu Chiyuan, treating Lu Chiyuan as a human pillow.
He was not sure if Lu Chiyuan was asleep or not, because when he opened his eyes, Lu Chiyuan was awake. There was a sofa pillow behind him, which made his body tilted.
There was no extra space on the sofa and his other foot was hanging outside.
Jiang Chen touched his chest in a daze, still feeling that the pillow was so hard today. When he looked up, he met Lu Chiyuan's eyes.
Lu Chiyuan lowered his eyes to look at him, and said without being able to tell his emotions: "Did you sleep well?"
The voice was low and hoarse with a hint of tiredness, and Jiang Chen's ears felt numb when he heard it.
Looking up from this angle, he could see Lu Chiyuan's clear and smooth jawline. His Adam's apple rolled when he spoke, and the area from his ears to his neck was red.
Jiang Chen's brain froze for a moment, and the memories of last night quickly came to his mind. After highly concentrating and relaxing, he soon felt sleepy. Coupled with the background music being too hypnotic, he didn't even know when he fell asleep, let alone in what position he fell asleep.
The current situation was obviously beyond his expectations.
"You get up first." Lu Chiyuan said again. He had maintained this posture for several hours and his legs were really numb.
He asked Uncle Lin to replace the sofa. If nothing else, the new sofa should be able to accommodate two people lying flat.
Otherwise Jiang Chen would let him see what an octopus is again.
He remembered that last time in the hospital, Jiang Chen slept very well.
No talking in sleep, no grinding of teeth, no snoring, and the same position you lay down will remain the same the next day.
He thought it was quite magical at the time, but he didn't expect that the situation would change completely when Jiang Chen lay with someone else.
Jiang Chen quickly stood up, looking apologetic: "I'm sorry..."
It really wasn't intentional, he couldn't control falling asleep.
Lu Chiyuan was about to stand up, but the strange feeling in his lower abdomen made his face change. He suddenly froze and dared not move.
He looked at Jiang Chen, perhaps feeling guilty, and Jiang Chen consciously kept his distance.
Lu Chiyuan said inconspicuously: "Go wash up first, then go downstairs for breakfast."
The atmosphere at the moment was really awkward. Lu Chiyuan's words made Jiang Chen feel relieved. He listened to heavenly music as if he were listening to heaven. He didn't notice Lu Chiyuan's abnormality at all. He put on his shoes and left.
Lu Chiyuan raised his arms and pressed them in front of his eyes. The blush on his ears spread to his chest and his breathing became hot.
Damn it! It's normal to have physiological reactions in the morning, but why at this time?
Lu Chiyuan had to take a shower. When he finished cleaning up and went downstairs, Jiang Chen had already finished breakfast and was sitting at the table talking to Lin Bo, who looked at him with a smile.
He was wearing clothes prepared by Lin Bo, which were from the same series as Lu Chiyuan's clothes, except that his was more casual and didn't look as serious or dull.
In comparison, Lu Chiyuan's clothes were more conservative. He was tall, had long legs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and was a perfect clothes rack. Even simple-cut clothes looked noble on him.
Jiang Chen saw him and his gaze stayed on his chest for two seconds.
【It feels really good. 】
It's a bit hard for a pillow, but it feels very good.
Lu Chiyuan: “?”
He vaguely felt that this was not a good thing to say.
Today is another sunny day with no clouds in the sky. The sun is hanging brightly in the sky, the air is hot and the trees on both sides of the road are drooping their leaves, looking listless.
Jiang Chen was also in low spirits, sitting at his workstation slacking off.
Lu Chiyuan's schedule today is relatively simple, with no field work and no dinner parties. The only meeting he needs to be reminded of is at ten o'clock in the morning.
But Jiang Chen overslept, and they arrived at the company at half past ten.
Lu Chiyuan probably knew that it was too late, so he canceled the meeting on the way here and changed the date to next Monday.
There was no reaction in the group, and the boss didn't hold a meeting, so of course everyone was happy.
In the small group, Xu Chen sent several exclamation marks in succession and started a group chat with one person.
[As expected, as long as you live long enough, there will be nothing new in the world. You, a workaholic, haven’t even arrived at the company yet.]
[Didn’t Xiao Chenchen remind you of the meeting today? Amazing, he usually pays the most attention to your work.]
[No, why aren’t you in the company either?]
Xu Chen tagged Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen was conflicted for a while. He couldn't say that he slept with Lu Chiyuan as a pillow all night, and then overslept the next day, causing Lu Chiyuan to wake up late, right?
This made him look like a demon concubine who was causing chaos in the court. How presumptuous! He was too embarrassed to make up lies in front of Lu Chiyuan, so he simply pretended not to see it.
The installation took a whole morning.
"You went out to have an affair last night? You look like you haven't woken up at all."
Jiang Chen was defending the crystal in the game when he suddenly heard Xu Chen's voice and a bottle of iced drink appeared in front of him.
He looked up at him, then looked down again. The game was over.
Xu Chen chuckled: "It seems that I came at the wrong time."
Jiang Chen put away his phone, took the drink and said thank you.
He and Xu Chen are two relatively idle people in the office, and visiting other people and slacking off is normal for them.
Xu Chen has learned to arrange a chair for himself here. He lies on it leisurely with his legs crossed, acting more like a boss than the president Lu Chiyuan.
Jiang Chen thought he came here because of what happened in the group this morning, and was just thinking about what kind of nonsense to make up when he heard Xu Chen ask him, "You accompanied Lu Chiyuan to the police station yesterday, how is Shen Zhiyi's case?"
Jiang Chen was a little surprised, but soon he was relieved, as long as it wasn't about being late.
Jiang Chen briefly told Xu Chen about Lan Luo's situation. If the police found out that Lan Luo and Huang Mao did have transactions, Shen Zhiyi's case would not be just running away from home, but might involve trafficking and fraud.
After hearing this, Xu Chen closed the distance between him and Jiang Chen and lowered his voice to ask, "What is your boss Lu's attitude?"
Jiang Chen said: "Leave it to the police, and let Uncle Lin assist with the relevant inquiries."
Lu Chiyuan remained calm from beginning to end, and Jiang Chen hoped that he would remain like this, being rational and not impulsive.
Shen Zhiyi will be fine as she has the heroine's halo, but her heroine's halo requires sacrificing the people around her. The main thing is that she is safe and unharmed, while everyone else is unlucky.
Now that Lu Chiyuan is not by her side, if she encounters danger, the first one to suffer will definitely be the little yellow-haired boy.
Xu Chen smiled, feeling relieved and happy, as if a great burden had been lifted off his shoulders: "Then I feel relieved."
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. He had a very good impression of Xu Chen. In his heart, Xu Chen was like a caring older brother. He was easy to talk to, had no airs, and was a bit outgoing and friendly.
Even if he hated someone, he would not show it, but the words he just said had a clear emotional tendency, which was disgust.
Jiang Chen had no secrets in his heart and asked, "You don't like Shen Zhiyi?"
Xu Chen waved his hand: "I have no problem with her, but I hate that Lu Chiyuan is like a curse on her. Do you know how it feels when we work overtime to finalize a project and are ready to sign the contract, but during the signing, Lu Chiyuan drops his work because of Shen Zhiyi, and Lu Mingxuan and I can only smile bitterly?"
Jiang Chen said that he understood, he really understood it too well.
When he follows the updates, as long as the author writes this kind of plot, there will definitely be a topic building with his presence in the comment section of that day.
He doesn't curse people or give writing guidance to authors, but he will write long reviews to Lu Chiyuan.
Lu Chiyuan is not a tool. If the author’s pen cannot give him spiritual energy, then let his words give him a soul.
Even a little bit can add up to a lot.
Xu Chen didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so enlightened after working for such a short time, and he immediately felt that he had found a confidant. He happily stood up and gave Jiang Chen a bear hug, and the more he looked at Jiang Chen, the happier he became.
What a nice kid! Why did he fall for that idiot Lu Mingxuan?
Is it too late to fall in love with someone else now?
Xu Chen's mind was full of nonsense. Jiang Chen was unable to resist his enthusiasm and tried to rescue himself from his arms.
The knock on the door interrupted their passionate embrace. Lu Chiyuan stood at the door and glanced over coldly: "Did I disturb you?"
Xu Chen let go of Jiang Chen, turned around and said: "You don't understand, this is to celebrate your new life!"
"To celebrate my new life, you should come and hug me." Lu Chiyuan walked into the office. He was used to Xu Chen's unconventional thinking and was too lazy to ask him what new life meant.
Xu Chen frowned and looked at Lu Chiyuan with complicated eyes, thinking carefully: "No, we are too familiar with each other. I am afraid I can't get hard when I see you."
Xu Chen spoke bluntly, so bluntly that people could ignore the fact that he was a hooligan.
Jiang Chen's pupils trembled. He was too ripe to get hard, so he didn't hug him. Then why did he hug him just now?
Jiang Chen silently slid the stool away.
Lu Chiyuan frowned, his face stern. He glanced past Xu Chen and caught a glimpse of Jiang Chen's retreating movement. A smile flashed in his eyes, and the coldness on his face gradually disappeared.
Jiang Chen's resistance touched him deeply.
"What are you doing here?" Xu Chen sat back in his chair, his eyes slightly provocative, "The president should stay away from the private lives of his employees."
Lu Chiyuan sneered: "There is a project abroad that hasn't found a suitable candidate yet. What do you think of letting Lu Mingxuan go?"
Xu Chen became alert. He had never heard of any project. Was Lu Chiyuan threatening him?
Xu Chen reacted very quickly, knowing that Lu Chiyuan was unhappy. Before he even had time to warm up his chair, he stood up again and snorted, "Stingy."
After saying that, he walked straight out the door and turned into Lu Mingxuan's office.
Jiang Chen silently shed a handful of bitter tears for Lu Mingxuan.
He worked diligently in the office, unaware that someone was preparing to take the blame for him.
As soon as Xu Chen left, Jiang Chen slid the chair back. He stood up, tidied up his slightly messy desk, and invited Lu Chiyuan to sit down.
"Brother Lu, do you have any instructions?"
Lu Chiyuan didn't sit down and didn't give any instructions.
Lu Mingxuan just received news that a project in City A had a problem and needed someone to go over and handle it. Because the project involved Lu's father and mother's overseas operations, Lu Chiyuan planned to take Lu Mingxuan over.
He knew very well that he and Lu Mingxuan were not in the company. With Xu Chen's personality, he could be quiet alone, but with Jiang Chen around, he would definitely cause some trouble.
Lu Chiyuan just wanted to remind Jiang Chen not to pay too much attention to Xu Chen’s unrealistic fantasies.
But now he has changed his mind.
"Go back and pack up, and accompany me on a business trip to City A. It will probably take four or five days." Lu Chiyuan paused, thinking of Jiang Chen's parents who were in City A, and added, "After you finish your work, you can have a small gathering with your parents."
Jiang Chen heard the previous person reply: "No problem."
When I heard the word "parents", I was stunned.
Jiang Chen's parents were not mentioned much in the original text, and were only mentioned in detail in Jiang Chen's ending. As Jiang Chen's backing, they were a very vague existence.
Jiang Chen’s own memories were also vague and not as real as the photos on that wall.
This resulted in Jiang Chen not feeling real with them, and the air was filled with dead silence.
Xueqiu quickly found out the information related to Jiang's parents and gave it all to Jiang Chen.
[My parents are very nice people, don't worry, Chenchen. Just get along with them the same way you get along with your parents at home.]
Jiang Chen's heart felt like it was stabbed by someone and it hurt a little.
【I... don't have parents.】
