Chapter 176 Chapter 176 [Buy Buy Buy]
In the living room of the luxuriously and elegantly decorated suite, Lin Yimu and He Xiuji sat opposite each other. Apart from the rustling sound of Lin Yimu's pen as he calculated, you could hear a pin drop in the room.
He Xiuji, who was sitting opposite him, stared at the person on the computer screen in front of him with a stern expression. In order not to disturb Lin Yimu's calculation ideas, He Xiuji even took the initiative to ask the front desk for a pair of headphones to put on.
The reason why the two changed their itinerary was because of the meeting He Xiuji was currently attending.
It turned out that He Xiuji came to Country H in person not only to give Lin Yimu a surprise, but also to have a contract that he needed to sign in person. The original date was two days later, but He Xiuji came two days earlier in order to make time to meet Lin Yimu.
As a result, as soon as I arrived in Country H today and had just finished my meal, the staff in charge of the negotiations called to say that the partner had changed the cooperation requirements and negotiation time.
He Xiuji listened to the report from the person opposite him seriously. His expression did not change much, but his eyes were sharp and cold.
After the person on the other side finished reporting the details, He Xiuji spoke in a low voice without any emotion, "Since they have no sincerity in cooperating, then let's cancel this cooperation."
After a while, the person on the other side of the computer said something else. He Xiuji said calmly, "We are not the ones who should be anxious about this cooperation. Since the other party does not want to cooperate, it just saves us time."
After He Xiuji finished speaking, he took off his headphones and hung up the video conference without waiting for the person on the other end to reply.
Lin Yimu listened to the entire conversation with two minds at the same time, and even had the mind to secretly glance at He Xiuji a few times. Now that he saw that he had finished the meeting, he put down the pen in his hand and looked up at him.
He Xiuji just happened to look over at this time, and their eyes met.
He Xiuji's originally cold eyes gradually warmed up, and even overflowed with a smile. He stood up and walked to Lin Yimu.
"I have already dealt with the issues here. Mr. Lin Yimu, are you done with your work? Can I ask you to continue what you have not finished before?" He said this very gentlemanly as he extended his hand towards Lin Yimu, waiting for his answer.
Lin Yimu was dazzled by the smile in He Xiuji's eyes. He originally thought that he would be in a bad mood because of his expressionless and indifferent face during the meeting.
But seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, I felt relieved and put my hand in his palm. I couldn't help but smile and said jokingly, "I'm fine. Seeing how you looked just now, I was thinking about how to comfort you, but now it seems that it's unnecessary."
After saying that, Lin Yimu deliberately shook his head and clicked his tongue twice, teasing He Xiuji with an expression that said it was a pity.
Unexpectedly, He Xiuji suddenly exerted force with his arms and pulled Lin Yimu, who was sitting on the sofa, into his arms.
He lowered his head and approached Lin Yimu and said seriously: "Just because I have good self-regulation ability, I can't lose the opportunity to be comforted by my lover, right? Xiaomu, this is not fair to me."
Lin Yimu was startled by He Xiuji's sudden action.
Looking at He Xiuji's handsome face so close to him, and the other party's words that were completely inconsistent with his current actions.
He quickly stepped back, put some distance between them, and slapped He Xiuji's arm that was around his waist in annoyance, saying, "Loosen your arms, who did you learn these ways of flirting from? It's okay if you learned them, but you can't even do it well. Who can talk so seriously in this situation as if they are negotiating?" As he said that, Lin Yimu couldn't help laughing out loud.
He Xiuji, who was disliked by Lin Yimu, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the person in his arms laughing heartlessly. He pursed his lips but obediently loosened his hand around Lin Yimu's waist and instead interlocked their fingers.
The two laughed and joked for a while, then seeing that there was still early, they left the hotel together to continue what they had not completed in the morning and buy clothes for Lin Yimu.
When the two of them arrived at the commercial street, as soon as Lin Yimu got out of the car, He Xiuji pulled him into a store that looked very luxurious.
For all the following trips, Lin Yimu didn't need to do anything except trying on clothes like a clothes rack, but even so, he was exhausted.
Finally, Lin Yimu couldn't stand it anymore, so when He Xiuji called the waiter to choose clothes, he quickly walked over and pulled him.
"What's wrong?" He Xiuji felt his clothes being pulled, so he stopped picking clothes and turned around to ask in confusion.
Lin Yimu reluctantly took He Xiuji's hand and returned to the sofa for resting and sat down. Then he said, "It has been two and a half hours since we came here, and you have already picked out no less than ten sets of clothes for me. You have almost bought all my clothes for the four seasons. You should buy less."
Hearing this, He Xiuji rubbed Lin Yimu's fluffy hair with amusement and said, "Is this too much? I wish you could wear the clothes I bought for you all year round. How can this be considered too much?"
Hearing this, Lin Yimu showed a toothache expression and waved his hand hurriedly, "No, these are already too much now. I am usually busy studying and doing experiments in school. How can I have time to wear these suits every day."
After hearing what Lin Yimu said, He Xiuji thought about it and realized that he had indeed bought too many suits.
Then he turned around and called the shop assistants and asked them to prepare daily clothes that suited Lin Yi Mu's style, without giving Lin Yi Mu a chance to speak.
He was so angry that he kept pulling the hem of He Xiuji's suit, and the hem of the clothes was wrinkled and looked terrible.
After the clerk went down to prepare the clothes, He Xiuji loosened his hand around his waist, looked at the man who was glaring at him angrily, and explained: "Okay, dear Xiaomu, don't be angry. We have been together for such a long time, but I haven't bought you any clothes, and..."
As he spoke, He Xiuji frowned and looked at the suit Lin Yimu was wearing. He felt jealous again. He pursed his lips and continued seriously, "Besides, I don't want you to wear clothes that others picked for you."
After He Xiuji finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yimu with a calm expression but a little nervousness, afraid that he would think he was too stingy and overbearing.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yimu just sighed helplessly, then smiled warmly and held He Xiuji's hand that had been placed on his waist, and said, "I know, you jealous guy! But let's make it clear first, we won't buy any clothes after we pick them out. We have to go back as soon as possible at three o'clock. I have an academic report to give at around 3:30, so I can't be late."
He Xiuji nodded and felt relaxed. After the clerk pushed the clothes over, he glanced at the full hangers. Afraid that Lin Yimu would refuse again, he asked the clerk to pack them all according to his size, leaving Lin Yimu no room to refuse or return.
The two came out of the commercial street and seeing that it was getting late, they didn't go shopping anymore. Instead, they drove directly back to the hotel.
As soon as Lin Yimu sat in the passenger seat, he felt listless and wanted to doze off. He Xiuji simply laid the chair flat for Lin Yimu to rest.
"You sleep for a while. I'll call you when we get to the hotel."
Lin Yimu was indeed a little tired. He arrived in Country H by plane the day before, and before he had time to catch his breath, he hurriedly went to buy a suit and had no time to spare at all.
To be honest, Lin Yi Mu was not used to being in a foreign country. Even though there were researchers who came with him, he was not very familiar with them. Apart from seeing them a few times at Professor Jiang's place, they were all busy with their own experiments in the laboratory and could hardly talk to each other.
What's more, Lin Yimu, the test-taker, is not only good at mathematics, but also good at physics and chemistry. He spends much more time in physics and chemistry laboratories than in mathematics. This has led to the fact that even though he has been a researcher at the Mathematical Research Center for several months, he is not very familiar with his colleagues.
So Lin Yimu, who never used to be a bed and had a good sleep quality, suffered from insomnia last night. In addition, he got up early this morning to attend the opening ceremony and went out with He Xiuji to eat and buy clothes. Now he was completely exhausted. The moment He Xiuji finished speaking, Lin Yimu fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Yi Mu woke up again when He Xiu Ji called him. He opened his eyes drowsily, and his first reaction was to check the time.
Before he could take out his cell phone, He Xiuji's deep and pleasant voice came to his ears, "Don't worry, there's still time." As he said that, he pulled Lin Yimu up from the chair.
Lin Yimu sat up. Although he heard He Xiuji say that there was still time, he took out his mobile phone and took a look. The time showed 15:00, and there were even several missed calls on the phone. Looking at the notes, they were all calls from several senior brothers who came with him this time. The top call was from Professor Jiang, and the time was 25 minutes ago.
"It's over. My phone was on silent before. Professor Jiang and others called me several times, but I didn't answer any of them. I guess they must be worried." Lin Yimu said in annoyance.
After that, Lin Yimu called Professor Jiang back and said to He Xiuji, "I'll go in first. Park the car and go back to your room to rest. You've been busy since you got off the plane today. I don't know where you got so much energy."
He Xiuji listened to Lin Yimu's words with a look of disapproval. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Yimu raised his hand to stop him because the call was connected on the other end.
As soon as the call was connected, Lin Yimu immediately apologized to Professor Jiang on the other end of the phone and said, "Professor, I'm already at the entrance of the hotel. I'll go over and meet up with everyone right now. I'm really sorry for making you worry."
As Lin Yi Mu was speaking, he wanted to reach out to open the car door, but He Xiu Ji held his hand. Because his other hand was on the phone, Lin Yi Mu didn't dare to move too much, so he could only ask with his eyes. However, He Xiu Ji gestured for Lin Yi Mu to answer the phone first.
After Lin Yimu finished talking to Professor Jiang on the phone, he looked at He Xiuji and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, the car is parked here, and I want to go back with you." He also declared his sovereignty. Of course, He Xiuji didn't dare to say the latter part directly.
Lin Yi Mu didn't see his intention either. He thought that since he had already told the professor that he was going out to meet friends, there was nothing wrong in taking He Xiu Ji to meet the teacher. Besides, the two were about to get engaged, and everyone would know about their affairs sooner or later.
As for their relationship, Lin Yi Mu was not like He Xiu Ji who was eager to announce it to the whole world. Instead, he just let things take their course. If someone found out and asked him about it, he would tell everyone. If they didn't find out, he wouldn't tell anyone about it. Lin Yi Mu had very few friends at school and basically went only between two places. So until now, very few people knew about their relationship.
That's why He Xiuji always felt that Lin Yimu didn't care much about their relationship. Even though they had met each other's parents and were about to get engaged, he was still somewhat worried and insecure.
This is also the reason why He Xiuji has always wanted their relationship to be known to everyone.
However, He Xiuji was rational after all. He knew that if he did this, Lin Yimu would be looked down upon at school, so he endured it and only visited him as a friend from time to time.
Of course, sometimes you can't help but feel jealous, which is also the fun between young lovers.
After Lin Yimu nodded in agreement, He Xiuji's expression was visibly happy. He opened the car door and got out as if he was afraid that he would change his mind. The parking attendant had already been standing by and waiting.
The two walked into the hotel lobby together. Just after a few steps, they heard someone calling Lin Yimu's name from the right.
