Chapter 202 I Want to Sleep with Shen Jin
Bai Yujin and the other CEOs were socializing and chatting in a private room, discussing the upcoming collaboration.
While talking to them, Bai Yujin was absent-minded, thinking about the two people he had seen outside earlier, and he was eager to go out and take another look.
Those who were talking with Bai Yujin noticed his unusual behavior.
"What's wrong, Mr. Bai? Is something urgent?" someone asked. "Is there some other problem?"
Upon hearing his words, Bai Yujin immediately snapped out of his daze, looked at him, and smiled.
"It's alright, you guys continue," Bai Yujin replied. "I'm listening."
Those people responded and then continued talking.
After everything was discussed, Bai Yujin got up and left.
"That's all for today. We'll talk about the rest next time," a manager said to Bai Yujin with a smile as he packed up his things.
"Okay." Bai Yujin raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
After that, everyone left.
Bai Yujin also quickly went out, taking the same route he had come from. When he passed the table where Yan Yu and Shen Jin had been sitting, he found that the two of them were no longer there.
Looking at the empty table, Bai Yujin's brows immediately furrowed.
He didn't take long, so how did those two people leave?
I clearly saw that there was still a lot of food on their table, so I thought they could eat for a while, but I didn't expect them to leave so quickly.
Bai Yujin was somewhat concerned, after all, the sense of familiarity he felt with those two people was too strong, and his intuition was never wrong.
After standing there for a while, Bai Yujin became a little irritated, so he turned around and waved to a waitress not far away, signaling her to come over.
The waiter quickly approached and bowed slightly to Bai Yujin: "Mr. Bai, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Where are those two people who were sitting here just now?" Bai Yujin pointed to the table and asked the waiter.
Upon hearing Bai Yujin's words, the waiter glanced at the table.
"Ah, you mean those two handsome young men from earlier? They've already left," the waiter replied, realizing what Bai Yujin meant.
"Gone?" Bai Yujin frowned immediately and asked instinctively, "Where did they go?"
After asking the question, Bai Yujin couldn't help but look out the window, but all he saw was a bustling night view. He couldn't see anything else, let alone the two people from before.
Immediately afterward, Bai Yujin realized how foolish his action had been. If they had left, there would be no one around by now, so how could he have seen them?
Bai Yujin then remembered what the waiter had said about the two of them being handsome.
Handsome guy? That person clearly said he was ugly before. Thinking of this, Bai Yujin frowned even more.
Finally, Bai Yujin withdrew his gaze, thinking that he was probably being too suspicious, so he decided to leave the matter alone for the time being.
"Is there a problem, Mr. Bai?" the waiter asked.
Bai Yujin looked at the waiter and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, thank you for your help."
"It's alright, it's my honor to be able to help Mr. Bai," the waiter replied with a smile.
Meanwhile, at Shen Jin and Yan Yu's residence.
After washing up, Chen Jin lay down on his bed. He had been running around all day, and running into an acquaintance who brought up old stories had left him exhausted. He barely wanted to move once he lay down.
So much happened today that he's still feeling a bit irritable.
Moreover, I ran into Bai Yujin today, and he just brushed me off with that attitude. I felt a little guilty, considering we've known each other for so long.
Bai Yujin helped him so much when he was down on his luck, and later took care of his sister who was separated from him... Now, I wonder how she is doing.
As he thought about it, Shen Jin couldn't help but feel guilty again.
At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. Shen Jin knew without guessing that it was Yan Yu, so he didn't want to say anything.
Yan Yu cautiously entered, carrying a pillow in his arms, and approached Chen Jin's bedside: "Aren't you asleep yet?"
"Hmm, what are you doing?" Shen Jin asked, looking at Yan Yu. His tone was somewhat unfriendly.
"I..." Yan Yu gripped his pillow tightly with both hands, hesitating and unable to speak.
Shen Jin glanced at the pillow in Yan Yu's hand.
"Want to sleep with me?" After a moment, Shen Jin asked.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded, "Yes, is that alright?"
Shen Jin said expressionlessly, "No, get out."
Yan Yu pursed his lips: "I..."
Shen Jin was getting impatient. He didn't know what to say to Yan Yu, who kept pestering him every day. He was both angry and helpless.
“I’m afraid you’ll be scared if you’re alone.” Yan Yu said calmly after a moment of silence.
"...I'm not afraid, you can go back." Shen Jin was speechless. Even a child wouldn't believe such a thing, yet he could actually say it.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's reply, Yan Yu remained silent for a while.
Shen Jin thought Yan Yu would leave now, but after a while, Yan Yu climbed onto his bed and lay down next to him.
Shen Jin was immediately annoyed. He turned around and glared at Yan Yu, about to say something to him, when he saw Yan Yu lying obediently next to him, holding a pillow with both hands and looking at him carefully.
Suddenly, Chen Jin couldn't say those words.
After a long pause, Shen Jin said coldly, "...either the sofa or the floor."
Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded after a long silence and went to the sofa.
Shen Jin stopped saying anything, thinking that he was simply crazy, why would he leave his perfectly good bed and insist on sleeping on the sofa?
Shen Jin ignored him and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought again.
Yan Yu didn't dare to disturb him, so he just lay there silently.
Gradually, Shen Jin remembered what the saleswoman had told him in the clothing store earlier that day.
Chen Jin's feelings were mixed, heavy and oppressive.
Lying next to Shen Jin, Yan Yu was also thinking about various things. He knew that Shen Jin's mind must be in turmoil right now, and he didn't know what to do next, nor did he know what decision Shen Jin would make next.
They thought about it for a long time, and then, overcome by sleepiness, they drifted off to sleep.
I slept soundly through the night without any dreams, and then it was morning.
The next morning, the tomb raiders arrived, and they sat together discussing the matter.
"How are your preparations going?" Yan Yu asked them.
"Everything is almost ready. Here's our shopping list. Take a look." One of the tomb raiders handed Yan Yu a piece of paper.
Yan Yu took the list, opened it, and looked at it. It was covered with dense writing.
"Is there anything else we need to buy?" the tomb raider asked.
Yan Yu glanced at the list and then handed it back to him.
“This list is already very detailed; there shouldn’t be anything else to buy in other languages,” Yan Yu replied.
"That's fine then." The tomb raider nodded, folded the paper, and put it back.
After a moment, Yan Yu asked, "When do you plan to set sail?"
Upon hearing Yan Yu's question, Shen Jin immediately stopped what he was doing, as he hadn't yet figured out what to do next.
"There's no rush. We should wait a few more days before setting sail, because there are no ships available right now. We'll have to wait a few days," the tomb raider replied with a smile.
Shen Jin was slightly relieved.
Yan Yu smiled and said, "Okay."
Afterwards, the two chatted with the tomb raiders for a while, but then the tomb raiders had other things to do and left one by one.
After they all left, only Shen Jin and Yan Yu remained. With nothing to do, Shen Jin felt bored staying there and decided to go for a walk.
But he knew that if he left, Yan Yu would definitely follow.
So Shen Jin just sat there, watching Yan Yu's movements, waiting for Yan Yu to do something without paying attention to him before he would slip away.
After a while, Yan Yu picked up the watering can used for boiling water and went to the balcony to water the potted plants there.
Seeing Yan Yu's actions, Shen Jin quickly seized the opportunity, got up, and secretly left.
They easily avoided Yan Yu and reached the street. As they walked, Chen Jin admired the scenery.
The street was particularly beautiful, and there weren't many people around, so Chen Jin walked quietly.
Suddenly, Shen Jin saw several people walking over from not far away. He recognized one of them very well—Bai Yujin.
Shen Jin was startled and quickly turned around to hide behind a tree.
Bai Yujin didn't notice Shen Jin and walked straight past his tree, chatting with the person next to him.
"Mr. Bai, isn't the scenery in our city quite nice?" someone next to Bai Yujin asked with a smile.
“I quite like it, especially since it’s by the sea,” Bai Yujin replied with a smile.
Shen Jin hid behind a tree, listening to their conversation, his heart pounding.
I wonder what Bai Yujin came here for. Did he come alone? And he also wants to know how his sister is doing...
"Haha, the place where we're discussing business happens to be a shop by the sea. After we're done, we can go see the sea." The person next to him immediately laughed.
Bai Yujin nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with the itinerary.
Seeing them gradually walk away, Shen Jin gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then followed them, secretly trailing behind.
Bai Yujin and the others chatted and laughed as they discussed the collaboration.
"I wonder if Mr. Bai is satisfied with the cooperation proposal I just showed him?" someone asked.
Bai Yujin nodded and replied, "I'm quite satisfied, but there are still a few areas that need improvement."
"I don't know where Mr. Bai is referring to?" the man immediately asked with a humble smile.
"Let's talk all together once everyone else has arrived," Bai Yujin replied with a smile.
"Okay, okay." The person nodded quickly in response.
Shen Jin secretly followed behind them.
Shen Jin moved very quietly, so that they wouldn't notice him, and followed him all the way.
Finally, they arrived at a restaurant by the sea.
As soon as Bai Yujin arrived, a CEO came up to him and extended his hand. Bai Yujin smiled slightly and shook hands with him.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Bai Yujin said politely.
The boss quickly replied with a smile, "Mr. Bai, you're too kind. I arrived early. Mr. Bai isn't a local, so it's natural that I'd be a little late."
Hearing his words, Bai Yujin smiled slightly and said nothing.
Then, the boss quickly gestured to Bai Yujin, "Mr. Bai, let's go in and talk about the cooperation."
"Okay." Bai Yujin replied, and then followed them inside.
Seeing that they had gone inside, Shen Jin did not follow them in, but waited outside.
Outside the restaurant was the sea. Chen Jin admired the view in front of him. The boundless blue sea made him feel relaxed.
Many waves were crashing on the shore, accompanied by the sounds of children playing, creating a beautiful melody. Shen Jin didn't find it annoying at all; instead, it relaxed him.
The salty sea breeze hit his face and made his hair fly everywhere; it felt really good.
After waiting outside for a while, Shen Jin felt a little bored, so he started playing with the children on the beach.
"Are you playing hopscotch?" Shen Jin asked with a smile, looking at the group of children.
Hearing Shen Jin's gentle voice, a little boy turned his head to look at him and smiled.
The little boy was especially cute when he smiled, and his eyes were beautiful, as if they contained the stars and the sea, which made Shen Jin feel fond of him.
"Yes, big brother, do you want to come and play together?" the little boy replied with a smile.
“I…” Shen Jin waved his hand, about to say that it was alright.
Before he could speak, a group of children ran over, surrounded Chen Jin, and pushed him while laughing.
"Come on, big brother, it's a lot of fun."
"Yeah, yeah, let's play together!"
The children were laughing very enthusiastically.
Shen Jin is naturally someone who can't say no to others, especially since these kids are so cute. But now is not the time to play along with them.
Shen Jin pinched their cheeks and said with a smile, "I won't play, you can play."
While the children were playing and making noise, Shen Jin would occasionally turn his head to look at the restaurant. Through the window, he could see Bai Yujin talking to the CEOs.
Inside the restaurant, Bai Yujin was discussing the upcoming collaboration project with several CEOs.
"Regarding this offshore development project, I need to clarify a few points. Please see if you can agree to them." Bai Yujin took out a document and handed it to the CEO with a smile.
The boss took the document, opened it, and began to examine it carefully.
"Well... we can accept some of these conditions, but if it's all of them..." After reading it, the boss was immediately in a dilemma.
"What's wrong? The previous cooperation plan has always been favorable to you. We are all business people, and no one will do a losing deal. Moreover, this project is being developed at sea, so the risk is still quite high. I have to fight for some favorable conditions for our company, don't I?" Bai Yujin said without changing his expression.
He exuded an aura of strategic brilliance.
The boss was immediately stunned by Bai Yujin's aura and kept smiling.
"What Mr. Bai said is true..." The boss nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry, you will definitely not lose money in this cooperation. This condition is already very favorable to you. Or do you not believe in the capabilities of the Bai family?" Bai Yujin continued.
Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, the boss was immediately startled, as the Bai family was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"No, no, no, that's no problem at all. We can agree to any of those conditions," the boss quickly replied with a smile.
As expected, Bai Yujin should not be underestimated. I originally wanted to get more for myself, but it seems I shouldn't be too greedy.
Bai Yujin smiled and said, "Then let's move on to the next step of our work."
The boss quickly agreed.
So, the two sides began with the next steps.
Shen Jin remained outside, observing the movements inside.
Halfway through the work, the boss suddenly frowned, looked out the window, and said, "Why do I keep feeling like someone is watching us?"
Upon hearing the boss's words, Bai Yujin paused in his work, flipping through documents. He then glanced out the window but saw nothing.
Bai Yujin withdrew his gaze, looked at the CEO, chuckled, and said with a teasing smile, "Maybe I'm too handsome, which attracted the attention of the young ladies who were peeping at me."
The boss immediately burst into laughter: "President Bai is so humorous."
Bai Yujin smiled faintly, picked up his signature pen, and signed his name on the contract in his hand.
"Anyway, our cooperation will be announced soon, and it's not a secret, otherwise we wouldn't be here to discuss it, so you can rest assured that nothing will go wrong." Bai Yujin closed the document and handed it to the CEO.
The boss took the document and nodded in agreement.
Then, Bai Yujin stood up, straightened his suit, and extended a hand to him: "Then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
The boss also stood up, shook hands with him, and nodded slightly: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Bai Yujin, still wearing a friendly smile, withdrew his hand and turned to leave.
Just after stepping out the door, Bai Yujin suddenly heard a splash not far away; a child had accidentally fallen into the sea.
"Thump—"
Immediately afterwards, a wave crashed over the child, sweeping him some distance away.
"Ah! I've fallen into the sea! Help!"
The children on the shore screamed in terror, "He can't swim! He's going to get swept away!"
The child couldn't swim and was bobbing up and down in the seawater, trying to call for help but unable to make a sound. Several children on the shore immediately became anxious and rushed to go down into the water.
"Don't move!" Shen Jin quickly called out to the children on the shore. "Wait!"
After saying that, Shen Jin jumped into the sea, creating a splash and causing another commotion on the shore.
Because of the commotion, Bai Yujin took a closer look. Upon closer inspection, he felt that the figure who jumped down looked somewhat familiar. However, since he was in the water, he couldn't see the figure's face clearly.
After hesitating for only a moment, Bai Yujin quickly walked over to the beach.
"Come on, give me the child." Bai Yujin reached out to help.
Shen Jin was already swimming towards the shore with the child in his arms when Bai Yujin quickly stepped forward to help Shen Jin take the child from the water and bring him ashore.
Shen Jin's hair clung to his forehead, partially obscuring his vision. He saw Bai Yujin in the water and was immediately startled, plunging headfirst into the water with a "splash—"
The child was rescued and lay on the beach. The others immediately gathered around him with concern, and Bai Yujin also looked down to check on the child's condition.
A moment later, the child coughed twice and vomited some water, then regained consciousness.
"They're awake! They're awake!" the children cried out immediately.
One of the girls, who was crying particularly hard, immediately stopped crying when she heard this. She looked at the boy and, seeing that he was indeed awake, she smiled through her tears.
"Brother, you scared me to death!" the little girl cried.
The boy coughed twice, then grinned at the little girl, revealing a very bright smile.
Still terrified, the little girl saw the boy still laughing and angrily hit him, saying, "I'll get angry if you do that again."
The boy quickly replied, "I won't do it again next time."
Bai Yujin watched the conversation between the brother and sister and couldn't help but smile, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.
Seeing that the little boy was mostly unharmed, having only choked on some water, Bai Yujin breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Yujin turned around and looked at the person in the sea, who had already plunged into the water.
Bai Yujin reached out to pull him up: "Don't stay in the sea for too long, come up quickly."
Bai Yujin felt that he looked familiar, but he didn't know why. Lately, everyone looked familiar, including the two people at the restaurant last night.
Shen Jin, who was submerged in the sea, quickly waved his hand at Bai Yujin to indicate that he didn't need it.
Bai Yujin frowned immediately: "Aren't you coming up?"
Chen Jin was so breathless in the water that he turned around, his back to Bai Yujin, and then poked his head out of the water to breathe in the fresh air.
"Aren't you coming up? Don't stay in the water any longer, come up quickly," Bai Yujin continued to say to Shen Jin.
"I'm fine... I just wanted to go swimming." Shen Jin lowered his voice, trying to change his tone, his heart pounding with anxiety. "You don't need to worry about me..."
He didn't dare to face Bai Yujin directly at all; even with his back to Bai Yujin, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Bai Yujin suddenly felt somewhat confused.
He jumped in to save people, so why did he suddenly want to swim again?
“If you want to swim, you can go to a swimming pool. It’s not safe in the sea,” Bai Yujin said to Shen Jin.
“It’s okay, I just love being in the sea,” Shen Jin said to Bai Yujin in a moment of desperation.
Bai Yujin was even more puzzled.
Afterwards, Bai Yujin stared at Shen Jin's back for a while, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.
Then, Bai Yujin thought of the two people he had seen at the Tai Restaurant the night before and was momentarily stunned.
One of them looked remarkably like the person in front of him; they even seemed to be wearing the same clothes.
Thinking of this, Bai Yujin asked almost without hesitation, "Are you the person I saw at the restaurant yesterday?"
Upon hearing Bai Yujin's words, Shen Jin froze, his back stiffened, and he was instantly startled: "Of course not!"
After denying it, Shen Jin felt he might have overreacted, so he said, "I have to go... that's all..."
After saying that, he swam away as fast as he could, wanting to get away from Bai Yujin and reach the shore as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing to be recognized here.
Upon seeing his reaction, Bai Yujin's eyes flashed with suspicion. He narrowed his eyes and followed after him, saying, "Wait a minute!"
