Chapter 37 Positioning "Baby, where are you now?"...
When Assistant Qi returned to work after his annual leave, the entire secretariat celebrated because it meant that President Feng's mood would be stable every day in the future and he wouldn't suddenly have a low mood one day, causing the secretariat staff to be afraid to even speak loudly.
Qi Yu looked at the salute emojis sent by group members one after another and felt quite amused.
At nine o'clock in the morning, all the secretariat staff had arrived. When Qi Yu passed by Liang Nanxing's workstation, he placed a small bag on his desk.
Liang Nanxing looked at the small bag, a little surprised. "Assistant Qi, what is this...?"
"A gift for becoming a regular employee." Qi Yu explained, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days while I'm on annual leave."
"It's not hard, it's what I should do." Liang Nanxing was immediately flattered. "I'm already very happy to be a regular employee. How can I accept a gift?"
"Keep it, it's not something very valuable." Qi Yu smiled at him and turned back to the office.
Liang Nanxing was holding the gift, but before she could come to her senses, Liu Yu came over and said with a smile, "Just take it, Special Assistant Qi is giving it to you. For every new employee in our department who successfully becomes a full-time employee, Special Assistant Qi will prepare a small gift. Don't feel embarrassed to accept it. The scented candles on Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang's desks were given by Special Assistant Qi, and the one for you should be too."
Liang Nanxing opened it and saw that it contained an exquisitely shaped scented candle. Even through the packaging, he could smell the faint scent of freesia.
"This brand of aromatherapy is so valuable," Liu Yu said with regret. "If I hadn't joined before Special Assistant Qi, I could be using it right now."
After hearing Liu Yu's words, Liang Nanxing's surprised smile couldn't help but fade a little.
It turns out that every new employee who has been promoted has one. He thought it was specially given to him by Qi Yu...
Holding the aromatherapy bag, Liang Nanxing couldn't help but look at the closed door of the office.
A person with a gentle nature like Qi Yu would even prepare small gifts for colleagues in the department who were promoted to regular positions. He must have also given a gift to President Feng.
Will the gift for the boss be just an ordinary scented candle?
…
"The bag you were carrying this morning turned out to be a gift for your junior."
In the office, Qi Yu remained calm in the face of the boss's sarcastic tone. "Boss Feng, you forgot, I give gifts to every colleague in the department who gets a permanent position."
Feng Ji persisted, "I was the one who approved your permanent position, so why don't I have a gift?"
Qi Yu: “……?”
Qi Yu: "Boss Feng, it's working hours now, please stop making trouble."
Feng Ji suddenly stopped talking and sat alone in the boss chair sulking.
Now is not personal time, Qi Yu did not intend to coax him, he typed on the keyboard and soon got into work mode.
After some sorting out, Qi Yu found that there was not much to do this week, so he could keep his appointments with Liang Nanxing and Fang Kaize.
Just as he thought of this, Liang Nanxing's message came.
Liang Nanxing: [Senior, I saw you just logged into the backend. You don't have much work this week. Are you free on Saturday to come back to Beijing University with me to participate in the activities?]
Liang Nanxing: [(Expectation)]
Qi Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Nanxing, here's the thing. One of my roommates saw the article on the WeChat official account and wants to join us. Would you mind adding him?"
The words "The other party is typing..." flashed several times in the remarks column before Qi Yu finally received Liang Nanxing's reply: "Sure, let's meet at the entrance of Peking University at 10:00 AM on Saturday."
Pray for encounter: [(ok)]
Liang Nanxing sent a cute cat head emoji: [It’s my first time hanging out with my senior, I’m really looking forward to it]
Qi Yu smiled back at him, then turned around and clicked into the private chat with Fang Kaize, telling him about the incident.
Fang Kaize was naturally very happy to have someone accompany him. After confirming the meeting time, he happily went to the toilet with pay.
After the event was resolved, Qi Yu immersed himself in work again. While he was typing, the first day of work after the annual leave ended smoothly.
That is to say, Feng Ji didn't wait for Qi Yu to come and comfort him throughout the whole day. When he got home from get off work, the anger in his heart had almost made him mature.
In fact, he has always been aware of Qi Yu's gift to his colleagues who were promoted to regular positions. If the person who received Qi Yu's gift today was Xiao Wang, Xiao Cao, or Xiao Sun, he would not be upset. But the person who received the gift was Xiao Liang. Although he knew that he was being unreasonable, he could not suppress his unhappy mood.
After all, Liang Nanxing was a junior whom Qi Yu had known since his student days. He was a younger junior who was six years younger than him and had ulterior motives towards Qi Yu.
It was difficult for Feng Ji to calm down after Qi Yu gave him such a slutty gift in front of him.
This was not a big deal, but he kept pushing it and wanted Qi Yu to take the initiative to coax him.
As a result, Qi Yu completely ignored him, which made Feng Ji feel even worse.
On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was very depressing.
——The driver himself thinks so.
He didn't even dare to look at the rearview mirror inside the car. He stepped on the accelerator hard on the road without traffic jams, for fear that this silent smoke of war would affect him.
When the elevator took the two of them upstairs, Qi Yu was surprised to find that Feng Ji, which was a rare occurrence today, did not make any moves on him.
When he turned his head, he was surprised again to find that a day had passed and Feng Ji seemed to be still sulking about the gift he gave Liang Nanxing for becoming a regular employee.
Feng Ji clearly knew that he had always had the habit of giving gifts to welcome new colleagues. Why did this person remain silent when he gave gifts to Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li, but got angry when he gave a gift to Liang Nanxing?
When Qi Yu thought that his anger should have subsided long ago, he actually secretly stayed angry for a whole day.
This is too much anger...
For the first time, Qi Yu began to take Feng Ji's attitude towards Liang Nanxing seriously.
Just as Feng Ji was about to leave the elevator, a hand grabbed him from behind.
Feeling the pulling on his arm, Feng Ji's lips, which were originally pursed into a straight line, trembled, and the corners of his mouth raised a very tiny arc, and then immediately drooped when he turned around.
What Qi Yu saw was the cold and indifferent expression on the man's face when he turned around.
This expression is really rare, and he looks very angry.
Qi Yu suddenly felt like he was a kindergarten teacher coaxing children in his class, and said helplessly: "It's been a day, why are you still angry?"
Feng Ji maintained a cold expression, "It's been a day, and you still only know how to question me."
No one got off the elevator on the eleventh floor. After a while, the elevator door made a "ding dong" sound and closed again.
Qi Yu looked at him with amusement, "You are so angry for no apparent reason, shouldn't I ask?"
"I don't understand." Feng Ji wanted to raise his voice, but was afraid of really making Qi Yu angry. After thinking about it, he decided not to raise his voice. He turned his head to look to the side, looking sad.
The elevator stopped on the twelfth floor, at the entrance of Qi Yu's house.
Looking at the man with an aggrieved expression, Qi Yu used some strength in his hands and simply pulled the man out of the elevator.
Feng Ji looked like he was standing still, but as soon as Qi Yu started to exert force, his steps began to move. As soon as Qi Yu raised his foot to walk out, he followed him.
"Why are you angry? Is it because I gave Liang Nanxing a gift for becoming a regular employee?" Qi Yu didn't pull him in. The two of them stopped in front of the entrance door, and the hand that was holding Feng Ji's wrist was also withdrawn.
Feng Ji moved his fingers, suppressed the urge to chase after Qi Yu and hold his hand again, and hummed softly.
"But you've always known that I'll give gifts to anyone who becomes a regular employee. Last time, you didn't stop me when I gave a gift to Xiao Chen. Why are you suddenly angry now that the person has become Liang Nanxing?"
"Because he likes you."
Feng Ji didn't hesitate. He looked Qi Yu in the eye and repeated, "Because he likes you, I get angry when you give him a gift."
Qi Yu's expression went blank for a moment after hearing this, and then he repeated, "He likes me?"
When Feng Ji saw his expression, he knew that this person had no idea what Liang Nanxing was thinking.
Qi Yu is always like this. When he is in school, he only has his studies in mind. When he is working, he only has his work in mind. As long as the other party does not express his feelings to him clearly and say the word "like", he will not be able to see anything.
This is not only true for her love for Liang Nanxing, but also for her love for him.
Feng Ji took a deep breath and continued, "Although we are just friends with benefits, we are the two of us who have an intimate relationship at this moment. You gave a gift to someone who likes you, so shouldn't I be angry?"
"But..." Qi Yu recalled Liang Nanxing's every move when he was with him, and looked at Feng Ji's resolute expression, and said hesitantly: "Maybe you are mistaken, he doesn't look like he likes me..."
Feng Ji didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
Qi Yu: "...Even if that's the case, there's no need for you to be so angry all day, right?"
Feng Ji's tone became even more resentful. "You know I've been angry all day, but you didn't care about me at all and didn't even try to comfort me."
"In your heart, my emotions are not important at all?"
Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, then gently raised his foot and took a step closer to Feng Ji.
Before he understood why Feng Ji was angry, he just thought that he was too angry and unreasonable.
Now that he realized there was a reason for what happened, he also felt that it was not right for him to ignore Feng Ji's emotions for a whole day, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
After a moment's thought, he took the initiative to put his hand into Feng Ji's palm, slightly spreading his slender fingers, wedging them between his fingers, and interlocking his fingers with the man's. Then he took a step forward, slightly raised his toes, and lightly touched the corner of the man's lips.
"I ignored your emotions. I apologize. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Before he finished speaking, Feng Ji couldn't wait to grab him tightly with his backhand, and with a light pull, the two people who were already very close to each other were suddenly stuck together.
Qi Yu lay in the man's arms and heard his voice, which was obviously filled with smugness, coming from above, "I'm not angry anymore, baby. Now that I'm here, how about staying at your house tonight? Just for one night."
Qi Yu: “…”
He hasn't even been coaxed yet, how can he stop being angry?
After all, she had been angry for the whole day, and Qi Yu thought it would take some time to talk her out, but who knew that she could be coaxed into silence with just one sentence.
It was so easy to coax him that Qi Yu felt that the main reason why Feng Ji was angry was that he wanted to hear his coaxing, and Liang Nanxing was just an unimportant introduction at the beginning.
Qi Yu agreed to let this easy-going man in, and Feng Ji went downstairs to get his clothes with a secretly happy look on his face.
Looking at the other person's back as he left, Qi Yu pinched his nose bridge with a headache.
If he had known Feng Ji would be like this, he should not have agreed to Liang Nanxing's invitation so quickly today.
But now that the words have been spoken, he cannot deliberately breach the contract.
Just treat it as the last time I go out with Liang Nanxing. Next time he asks me out, I will find a reason to refuse.
As for this time... thinking of Feng Ji's jealous look because he gave him a gift, Qi Yu decided to keep the fact of going out with Liang Nanxing a secret from him for the time being.
He didn't need to report to Feng Ji every time he went out, and he didn't want Feng Ji to get angry again because of this matter, so hiding it was the best option.
Besides, a big part of the reason why he agreed to Liang Nanxing was because Fang Kaize would also go.
Go and come back quickly, there shouldn't be any accidents.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu left the door open for Feng Ji, picked up his pajamas and went into the bathroom.
As for the fact that Liang Nanxing liked him, Qi Yu didn't care.
Because whether he likes it or not, he has no intention of responding, so this liking has nothing to do with him.
There is no need to waste energy on unimportant things.
…
…
After a busy week, the workers in the workplace are looking forward to the weekend.
Shortly after Qi Yu was woken by the alarm clock, he received an impatient message from Fang Kaize: "Hey, Yu, I'm awake! I'm so happy just thinking about having spicy hot pot in the second cafeteria for lunch. Are you up yet?"
Qi Yu replied: [Get ready]
Fang Kaize: [Okay, okay, but will President Feng agree? Won’t he call you back right after you leave?]
Looking at this line of words, Qi Yu couldn't help but think of the message Feng Ji had just sent.
A perverted man with a horny brain: [Baby, I have to go back to the old house for an urgent matter today. I might not be able to reply to messages in time, so I’m letting you know in advance]
Feng Ji wants to go back to the old house. Qi Yu remembers that Feng Ji's mother is now placed in the old house.
In the past, Feng Ji would occasionally go back, and if he was not allowed to follow him, each time he would spend most of the day. Based on past experience, today should be no exception.
Qi Yu then replied: [No, Mr. Feng has something to do today]
Fang Kaize: [That's great. I'm going to go brush my teeth first. See you later!]
Qiyu: [See you later]
He put down his phone, walked into the bathroom and started washing up.
…
The event at Kyoto University was very lively. As soon as Qi Yu arrived at the school gate, he saw several of his former classmates.
He didn't know anyone, so he didn't say hello. Fang Kaize, however, was standing in front of the small gate next to the school gate, and whenever he saw someone he knew, he would pull them over for a chat. His outgoing personality was truly astonishing.
Qi Yu was stuck in traffic for a while, so he was the last one to arrive. From a distance, he saw Fang Kaize and Liang Nanxing arm in arm, talking about something.
Qi was a little confused by this situation.
When did these two people know each other? How come he doesn’t know?
As he got closer, the two people waiting at the school gate also noticed him and immediately rushed towards him in unison.
"Yuzi, you're finally here!"
"Senior, I'm here!"
The two shouted in unison, looked at each other, and said in unison again, "You are waiting for him too?!"
Qi Yu walked up to them and stood still, feeling somewhat helpless when he saw their situation. "So you two don't know each other..."
"We just met." Liang Nanxing's voice was filled with fear. "Senior Fang saw that I was waiting for someone, so he came up to talk to me. He said he was waiting for someone too and wanted to wait with me. Senior Fang is really good at chatting..."
He thought he had a pretty cheerful personality, but who knew Fang Kaize was even more outgoing. Even the extroverted him was afraid of him.
"This is fate. I just happened to run into you at the school gate." Fang Kaize laughed and said to Qi Yu, "Now that we're all here, let's go!"
He squeezed next to Qi Yu, and it was obvious that he had a good relationship with Qi Yu.
Liang Nanxing glanced at him and decided to walk to the other side of Qi Yu. However, just as he was about to go over, Fang Kaize quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Junior, please walk next to me. Yuzi doesn't like being sandwiched between people, so don't go over there."
Liang Nanxing glanced at Qi Yu, and seeing that he didn't refute, he could only laugh dryly, "Okay, I can go anywhere."
The three of them walked side by side towards the event venue, chatting and laughing along the way.
However, the opportunity to walk with Qi Yu was blocked by Fang Kaize. Liang Nanxing looked unhappy, but he couldn't say anything. He could only bring up topics from time to time and want to chat with Qi Yu. However, his eloquence was not as good as Fang Kaize's. Whenever he thought of a new topic, Fang Kaize would soon lead the topic astray and go in a direction that he couldn't follow.
Judging from Qi Yu's expression, he seemed to have gotten used to Fang Kaize's imaginative way of chatting, and would occasionally give responses that were very much in tune with him.
It was clearly he who invited Qi Yu first, hoping to enhance the relationship between the two through this event, but now it has all been ruined by Fang Kaize.
The only thing that made Liang Nanxing feel relieved was that he did not feel any sense of crisis from Fang Kaize.
Although Fang Kaize was very enthusiastic towards Qi Yu, this enthusiasm was just pure friendship, unlike the guy in the company, whose possessiveness was so strong that it was almost overflowing...
After all, today is the weekend, so that person shouldn't appear next to the senior.
…
…
In the suburbs of Beijing, the old house of the Feng family.
"Are you sick again?"
Feng Ji got out of the car and walked towards the door with steady steps.
The housekeeper, who was leading the way, quickly replied, "Yes, the servants are all taking good care of her, but for some reason, the old lady's illnesses have been getting more and more frequent recently."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Feng Ji cautiously. Seeing that the man didn't show any displeasure on his face, he continued, "In the past, we were able to calm him down with a few words of comfort, but this time the attack was too severe. The old lady insisted on seeing you, so we called you."
"I understand." Feng Ji didn't say anything about this. After turning a few corners, the housekeeper brought him to a closed door.
After Feng Ji pushed the door open and walked in, he closed it quietly, as if he was afraid of making any noise to disturb the people in the room.
Although the noise at the door was small, it still caught the attention of the woman on the bed.
She turned her head, and the light from outside the window, filtered by the cold glass, shone on her face, leaving a dark shadow in her deep eye sockets.
The figure of the tall man beside the bed was reflected in those dark eyes, and they lit up almost instantly.
"Son, you're here." The woman stretched out her hand to him, her face full of longing. "Why haven't you come to see your mother for so long? Do you still have me as your mother in your heart?"
Feng Ji squatted down beside the bed, but didn't take her hand. He called out, "Mom."
This height is just enough to make the woman's eyes level, so she doesn't have to crane her neck to look, which is so tiring.
"The housekeeper said you wanted to see me, what's going on?"
The woman scolded, "Do I have to have something to do before I can see you? You're my son, isn't it natural for a son to accompany his mother? Or do you dislike me because I'm sick and don't want to see me?"
When she finished speaking, she widened her eyes and looked straight at Feng Ji.
Feng Ji lowered his eyes, avoiding the woman's gaze, "I've been too busy with work lately. It's not that I don't want to see you."
He inherited his mother's eyes, which were pitch black and so dark that they seemed to suck people in.
But he inherited his father's brow bones and nose bridge, which are three-dimensional and deep, with a hint of obvious aggressiveness.
When he lowered his eyes, covering the part of his face that belonged to his mother, he looked especially similar to his father.
At this moment, the woman's originally gentle expression suddenly became ferocious. She raised her hand and slapped the hateful face hard.
However, she had been bedridden for a long time, and the slap she used with all her strength only barely managed to knock the man's face to the side.
The crisp sound of a slap was followed by her hysterical insults, "Didn't I tell you not to bow your head? You're just like that beastly father of yours. How many times do I have to tell you before you remember?!"
"You think you can live a good life now that you've grown up and locked me up here?! You think I'm crazy, but half of your blood is my blood! If I don't live well, you won't live well either!"
"I don't know what you're like. You're a lunatic in the eyes of others! Even your father doesn't love you, his biological son. No one will love you in the future. Just wait to end up lonely for the rest of your life!"
The cursing sounds continued one after another, and the butler was terrified listening to them outside. Just as he was hesitating whether to push the door in, the door had already been opened from the inside.
The housekeeper looked at the man's slightly red cheeks from the beating and asked hurriedly, "Do you want some ice? I'll have someone prepare it."
"No need." Feng Ji took one last look at the woman in the room who was already immersed in her own world and smashing things wantonly, and said, "She can't go on like this. Call a doctor to give her a sedative."
"Got it. I'll be there right away." The butler quickly responded, turned around and trotted away.
Feng Ji closed the door, completely blocking out the woman's voice.
He leaned against the door frame and took a deep breath, but his mood was far less irritable than when he left.
I don’t know what Qi Yu is doing now, whether he has gotten up or had lunch.
They had not lived together for the past few days. Feng Ji had originally planned to pester the girl to his home this morning, but he received a call from the housekeeper and had to go back to the old house first.
After taking the sedative, he would usually sleep for the whole afternoon, so there was no need for him to stay here any longer. He just wanted to go back quickly, hold the person in his arms and take a nap to get rid of the bad luck.
He turned on his phone and on the lock screen was a message from Qi Yu a few hours ago, asking him good morning.
A smile gradually appeared on Feng Ji's lips. He unlocked his phone and was about to click on WeChat to reply when a notification popped up in the notification bar.
[Please be advised that the step count of the person you are following, "Baby", has been updated to 5132 steps today.]
Feng Ji's smile suddenly froze on his face.
5132 steps?
Shouldn’t Qi Yu be at home today? Where did he get more than 5,000 steps?
The tenderness in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of anxiety and depression.
Has Qi Yu gone out?
What are you going to do? Hang out with friends? Or go for a walk downstairs?
If I were hanging out with friends, I would definitely tell him that I was probably going downstairs for a walk...
The man's breathing became heavier. He clicked on the notification and a map immediately appeared in front of him.
On the map, the red dot was moving slowly across an area. The sight slowly moved downwards, finally stopping at the address displayed at the bottom.
[No. 2 Canteen, Jingshi University, Yuyang District, Jingshi. The person is > 7 kilometers away from you.]
Instead of taking a walk, Qi Yu carried him on his back and went out without saying a word.
But who was he going out with? A friend? A colleague? Or a schoolmate?
Why didn’t you tell him when you went out?
There was only a lonely "good morning" in their chat box, and no other reporting information.
Feng Ji clicked into their chat box, pressed the voice button with his thumb, and asked softly, "Baby, where are you now?"
Qi Yu on the other end seemed to be looking at his phone. He replied quickly, but the content was particularly eye-catching.
I'm home, ready to eat.
Not far away, the housekeeper had hurried over with the doctor. Seeing Feng Ji still leaning against the door, he asked, "Boss Feng, are you staying at the old house for lunch?"
In the past, whenever Feng Ji came back, he would have lunch with the old lady at the old house before leaving.
However, this time, the man shook his head.
He closed his phone, stood up and walked quickly towards the door.
At the door, the driver was leaning against the car, basking in the sun. Seeing the boss stride open the door and get in, he quickly got in the driver's seat and started the car. "Boss Feng, are we going back to Yulong Bay?"
"No."
The man's grip on the phone slowly tightened.
"Go to Kyoto University."
