This matter became a secret known to all, including you, me, and the heavens. Lin Fengqi could not possibly tell Wen Xia about such an embarrassing thing, and Wen Xia did not point it out. When he saw Lin Fengqi the next morning, he wanted to say something, but he held it back.
Because every time he was about to speak, this person would look away. He wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but his slightly red ears made him look less calm.
So before leaving the house, Wen Xia grabbed him directly: "Did I provoke you this morning?"
Lin Fengqi was stunned and quickly denied: "No."
"Then why are you hiding when I talk to you," Wen Xia said, "Can I eat you or something?"
Lin Fengqi looked down at his hand holding his, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Did Liao Xingchen say anything to you?"
Wen Xia knew what he wanted to ask, and pretended to be confused: "What can he say to me? He just shared some things about the daily care of cats and dogs with me. Do you want to see it? If you want, I will forward it to you."
"No need," Lin Fengqi said hurriedly, lowering his voice, "Fortunately not..."
"No what?"
"Nothing."
While waiting for the elevator, Lin Fengqi asked again: "You...are you going to work overtime tonight?"
"Maybe." Wen Xia said.
"Then you tonight..."
"Hmm?"
Lin Fengqi hesitated: "I may have a drinking party tonight..."
The implication is that he can't deliver food today.
He is like this, it's really too... strict.
What's more annoying is that Wen Xia actually enjoys it.
"You go," he said, "I'll order takeout tonight."
"...Takeout is not good."
"Then what do you say," Wen Xia spread his hands, "Who would be so picky about overtime."
Lin Fengqi was blocked and kept silent.
The elevator door opened, and the two got in the elevator and went all the way down to the parking lot on the first floor.
Wen Xia also drove his own car today. Lin Fengqi bought a house here and had a fixed parking space, but he didn't. He moved here temporarily and usually found an empty space in the area that was not the owner's parking space.
When they were parting, Lin Fengqi suddenly called him: "I'll ask Zeng Yuan to bring you food tonight."
Wen Xia was stunned. Before he could say anything, Lin Fengqi turned around and left, as if he didn't want to leave him any room to refuse.
That evening, when Wen Xia was about to order takeout for everyone, Zeng Yuan came as expected. He didn't bring food for Wen Xia alone, but five portions, so that everyone could have a share.
"Mr. Wen, this is the food from our restaurant in Fenghang Technology Building. The safety and sanitation are checked once a week and supervised by General Manager Lin himself. We guarantee that there will be no health problems caused by the sanitation of the food. You can rest assured," Zeng Yuan put five meals on the table. "Because General Manager Lin can understand the tastes of the other four people besides you, so if there is anything that is not well received, please feel free to tell us."
Not only Wen Xia was a little confused,
but Liu Feisi and the other four were also a little confused. Although Zeng Yuan was the only one who came, it gave people the feeling that more than 200 people came to serve them.
"...Thank you," Wen Xia came back to his senses, "You've made such a long trip."
"Nothing, it's not hard," Zeng Yuan smiled, and suddenly moved closer, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "In fact, your dinner was specially prepared by General Lin in the kitchen of the dining hall."
After saying that, he stepped back and said goodbye with a smile on his face, "Then I'll leave first, I wish you all a happy meal."
As soon as Zeng Yuan left, Liu Feisi and others swarmed over.
"Fuck, there is such a good thing?" Liu Feisi looked at the lunch boxes that were so exquisite that even the packaging looked like those in a five-star restaurant, "Boss, you are too impressive! Who would have thought that one day I would be able to eat with Feng Hang..."
"Can I eat now?" Yaoyao was so hungry.
Wen Xia took his portion first: "Okay, you guys pick one."
The four of them were hesitant at first, but soon discovered that the four portions of food were actually different and just matched their respective tastes.
Liu Feisi opened the lunch box and exclaimed: "It's amazing, how did Brother Lin know what I like to eat?"
Ah Deng: "You call him brother, did he agree?"
"Of course he agreed, Brother Lin is such a good person," Liu Feisi took a bite of rice, "right, boss!"
There is no such thing as magic.
This guy just happened to come yesterday when he saw them eating, and observed what they were eating.
Lin Fengqi is really...
Seeing his lunch box was completely different from theirs, and he could tell at a glance that it was the result of someone's cooking, Wen Xia couldn't help but laugh: "Yeah, that's right."
After thinking about it, he took out his phone and took a photo, and took another photo after eating all the food. Then he opened his circle of friends and posted a status:
[Maybe the best overtime meal I've had this year. ]
Attached two photos.
This status did not have a visible range set, and soon after it was posted, there were several comments below.
Zou Ni: Why didn't you ask me to work overtime? I would have gone to eat for free if I had known.
Wen Xia replied to Zou Boyan: I welcome you to come and have a drink.
Zou Ni: /Angry
Gou Huai: Haha, shabby.
Wen Yixia: When will the car be delivered to me?
Gou Huai: /spit/spit/spit
Even the squad leader interacted with Wen Xia after a long time: Wow, it looks so delicious, which restaurant is it from? Recommend it, I will order it next time.
The squad leader is a mutual friend of him and Lin Fengqi.
Wen Xia replied: Exclusively for private chefs.
Squad leader: ??? Is this the name of the restaurant? Why can't I search it?
Wen Yixia: No, it means literally.
Squad leader: ... Damn!
After all this time, you are showing off your affection!
... Huh? Showing off your affection?
The squad leader was stunned and hadn't reacted yet. On the other side, Lin Fengqi also saw this movement.
Not long after the drinking party started, before the dishes were touched much, some people were already drunk with flushed faces. Lin Fengqi didn't like such occasions, but he couldn't refuse. He still had to give face, so every time at this time, he would make an excuse to go to the bathroom and slip away from the table for a while.
He saw Wen Xia's movement when he was outside in the breeze.
In his field of vision, he could only see the conversation between Wen Xia and the squad leader.
The mobile phone suddenly became like a treasure. Lin Fengqi held it and watched Wen Xia's movement and his conversation with the squad leader over and over again.
As he watched, he couldn't help laughing.
Was he drunk by the smell of alcohol in the box?
Otherwise, why is my mind a little hazy?
It seems like I'm going to see Xia.
I want to see him right now.
"Boss Lin, aren't you going to the bathroom? Why are you lazing around here? Come on, let's go in and have a few drinks with everyone." A drunken voice suddenly sounded behind him.
——Here comes a spoiler.
Lin Fengqi restrained his smile and lowered his eyes unhappily.
He read the status and the comments below twice and turned off his phone.
"Sorry, I got a call."
"Hey, isn't it that the one at home is checking on you?" The man put his arm around his shoulder and showed his presence. "You said that you are in a hurry to get married at such a young age. I don't know much about this matter. Don't worry about it. When I was young, the one at home also liked to check on me. I had to report to her wherever I went. It was so annoying..."
"Not annoying."
"Huh?"
"I don't think it's annoying." Lin Fengqi said in a low voice.
If possible, he really wanted to tie Wen Xia to himself and never be separated no matter where they went.
Wen Xia went home earlier than Lin Fengqi today. After feeding Wen Da'e, he saw that Lin Fengqi had not come back yet, so he took Ah Moo out for a walk.
The community where Lin Fengqi lives is a new building, built only a few years ago, and the location is not bad. There are schools and commercial streets around it, and living facilities are complete. Many of the people who move in are young couples who bought new houses.
This is the first time Wen Xia is out walking Ah Mo. It is almost nine o'clock at this time, and there are not many people in the community. Most of those who are walking have gone home. Most of the remaining ones are night joggers, and people like Wen Xia who go out to walk their dogs after returning home late.
Wen Xia didn't expect to meet Lin Fengqi's acquaintances when she went out to walk the dog.
Well, maybe they are not very familiar with each other, but at least she knows Lin Fengqi, and she is mainly familiar with Lin Fengqi's dog son.
A young couple walked towards them with their dog. The dog seemed to be an old friend of Ah Moo. It couldn't wait to pull the leash over to play with Ah Moo. The boy holding the dog recognized it at a glance: "Huh? Isn't this Ah Moo?"
The girl holding his hand looked at the big black dog playing with her own dog, then looked at Wen Xia curiously, and said familiarly: "I have seen you many times. It seems that you just moved here some time ago, right?"
Wen Xia nodded, and then heard the boy say: "Why don't I remember it?"
Girl: "What can your brain remember? I told you many times."
The boy turned his gaze to Wen Xia again: "Sorry, I don't pay much attention to things in the community, you are...?"
"Oh, my last name is Wen..."
Wen Xia chatted with them generously. After chatting for a while, he learned that this young couple - or should I say a young couple, moved in at about the same time as Lin Fengqi, just one building away. They met Lin Fengqi when they were walking the dog.
"I was wondering, why did Ah Moo change its owner today?" The boy's last name was Ma. Knowing that Wen Xia was older than him, he asked Wen Xia to call him Xiao Ma. In just a few words, he called Wen Xia brother, "Hey, then Brother Wen, you live with Mr. Lin now, are you his...?"
His wife nudged him with her elbow, signaling him with her eyes not to ask anything.
The two's little actions did not escape Wen Xia's eyes, but he didn't care much. He smiled and said generously: "We just got married too."
Hearing this, Xiao Ma's eyes widened. Although his wife had guessed it almost right, she thought that same-sex marriage has been open for three years and some people still find it difficult to accept. At first, she didn't think about exploring it too much to avoid embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, Wen Xia admitted it so straightforwardly.
Her disappointing husband was still standing there, so she had to speak up to break the silence: "That's quite a coincidence. We went to get the certificate on the 8th of this month."
"We went on the 11th." Wen Xia said.
The girl laughed and said, "It was just one weekend, what a fate. When we see Mr. Lin in the neighborhood, we occasionally gossip about what he will be like when he finds a partner. It's really unimaginable."
"Are you surprised to see me?" Wen Xia said, "I think it's quite unexpected too."
The girl was amused by his words and chatted for a while. Xiao Ma, holding his wife in one hand and the dog in the other, left and shouted, "Brother Wen, come to our house when you have time! I have all kinds of games!"
When Xiao Ma learned that Wen Xia liked to play games, his eyes lit up and he called out "Brother Wen" at that time.
Wen Xia said goodbye to them with a smile, and continued to walk forward with Ah Moo, but saw a familiar figure under the shade of the tree in front.
Lin Fengqi went to a social event today, wearing a suit. He stood there with a tall and slender figure, his eyes half bright and half dark, but with a softness that was different from the past. When
Ah Moo saw his master, he rushed forward. Wen Xia didn't hold him back for a moment, and was led by it to run forward until he stopped in front of the man.
The dog's paws scratched at the suit, and soon a few mud marks were left on the delicate fabric, which were blurry under the street lights. But he didn't care, half squatted down and stroked Ah Moo.
Then he looked up at Wen Xia, his eyes were particularly bright under the light.
When he got closer, Wen Xia could smell a faint smell of alcohol on him, a little stronger than the last time he brought it back from a social event. He seemed to be able to control his drinking even during social events, and never put himself in a state of losing control.
"How did you find this place?" Wen Xia asked, wondering if he had heard the conversation between him and the young couple.
"I usually take this route with Ah Moo, so I stopped by to take a look." Lin Feng stood up and said.
Wen Xia had left him a message before leaving, telling him to take Ah Moo around the neighborhood and walk the dog for him.
"Then why didn't you make any noise when you came? Don't you think it's scary standing here?" Of course, it's impossible to scare him.
Lin Fengqi stared at him for a while, lowered his eyelids and said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Wen Xia asked.
"Nothing," he said, taking a half step back, "Are you going back?"
Wen Xia frowned and took another step closer: "No, take Ah Moo for a walk again, it hasn't been out for a few days, right?"
Lin Fengqi took another half step back: "Yeah."
Wen Xia: "?"
What's going on?
As if he was more energetic, Wen Xia took another step forward, this time almost sticking to Lin Fengqi. He didn't say anything, just stared at Lin Fengqi straight.
Lin Fengqi wanted to retreat again - his back hit the tree trunk.
There was no way to retreat.
Even though they were so close, Lin Fengqi still didn't dare to face Wen Xia's gaze. He avoided her eyes and whispered, "... Don't get so close."
"Why?"
"..."
Lin Fengqi was silent for a few seconds and said, "I've been drinking, and I don't smell good." Wen
Xia pretended to move over and sniffed. Feeling the man's body stiffen for a moment, his heartbeat suddenly became a little faster: "It's okay. Don't worry, you didn't think I smelled bad when I was drunk. I won't dislike you in return."
Lin Fengqi didn't say anything.
"So, is there any other reason?" Wen Xia asked slowly.
No one passed by the path, and it was quiet all around. The night wind was a little cold, and the leaves rustled overhead. They were so close that they seemed to be able to share each other's body temperature.
"...Yes." After a long period of silence, Lin Fengqi said softly.
Wen Xia hummed in response to what she heard, and waited for him to continue.
Lin Fengqi leaned against the tree trunk, his head still tilted elsewhere, his sight couldn't find a suitable place to rest, he wanted to find Wen Xia, but he didn't dare to look for him, his eyes flickered, his eyelashes trembled slightly. Gradually, the ears hidden in the intersection of light and darkness turned slightly red.
"I'm just a little... happy." He said.
Seeing him like this, Wen Xia also felt a little hot inexplicably, he stepped back a little, afraid that his heartbeat would be heard by Lin Fengqi.
He hummed again: "Why?"
"..."
Lin Fengqi lowered his eyes and pursed his lips slightly.
"Maybe it's because..." After a while, his extremely light voice rang out softly, like a whisper, "You like the food I cook."
And when facing the couple, he said with a smile, "We just got married too."
It was as if there was no contract between them, just like a newlywed couple who had truly gone from knowing each other to falling in love, accepting this marriage from the bottom of their hearts.
He likes to see Wen Xia smile.
In the past, he just thought that as long as Wen Xia was happy, he would be happy as long as Wen Xia was happy.
But now it's just like this, and it seems that it can no longer satisfy him, especially after last night - after that oolong memory that he wanted to delete.
Lin Fengqi also wanted all of Wen Xia's emotions to be related to himself, whether good or bad.
- Is it too greedy?
