Chapter 49 I feel like I want to take good care of you

Secretary Yang took a sip of water and looked at Mo Chuan in surprise when he automatically appeared in the office at noon.

“I can’t believe it.”

"What?"

"Is it really you who finished the work in five days? I couldn't find you to stamp it before."

Mo Chuan sneered, "That's because I don't want to do it. If I want to do it, I can do it well."

He looked around, "Where are those two?"

"Inside, Li Yan went in to deliver the information, and Li Nuo followed him."

Mo Chuan leaned back on his desk, staring at the closed door, and asked, "Is everything okay while I'm away?"

"Didn't you go to see Li Nuo as soon as you got back yesterday? You even gave her a doll as a present. Why do you suddenly think of asking me now?"

"I didn't have time to ask that yesterday."

"Why don't you have time? Because we haven't seen each other for several days, and the longing for you overwhelms everything?" Secretary Yang teased.

A bystander sees things more clearly. Secretary Yang watched Mo Chuan's obsession with Li Nuo grow deeper and deeper. He was unconscious at first, but now he seems to have noticed it.

Mo Chuan said nothing, but just looked at the door. Seeing his look, Secretary Yang's smile rose even more.

"Oh, it seems I was right?"

"........Shut up."

"That's too much. I helped you collect information before, and you still have to thank me for coming back so soon."

Mo Chuan clicked his tongue impatiently, "It's not over yet, there's still a lot to do later, but it should be quiet for a while."

After saying that, he stared at the door again, "Why don't you come out?"

"It's almost time for lunch."

As soon as Secretary Yang finished speaking, the inner door was pushed open, and Li Yan and Li Nuo came out one after another. When Mo Chuan saw the person he was waiting for, he smiled and waved at him.

Linuo also smiled at him.

"Good afternoon, Director."

Mo Chuan looked straight at Li Nuo and said, "Where are you going to have lunch?"

"Get ready to go to the cafeteria."

"We're going to the cafeteria today?"

“It’s more convenient this way.”

The next surgery is approaching, and Brother He called me specifically to tell me to pay attention to my diet during this period.

"Let's go." Mo Chuan wanted to put his hand on Li Nuo's shoulder naturally, but Li Yan stopped him.

"Director Qin is going too, please wait a moment."

Mo Chuan raised his eyebrows, "Qin Xu is going too?"

"Of course, directors have to eat too."

Originally Qin Xu just asked casually, but when he found out that Mo Chuan was coming over at noon, he said that he wanted to go eat too.

Li Yan thought that instead of letting this happen, it would be better to act together.

Secretary Yang suggested, "You four still want to go to the cafeteria? Forget it, it will cause another commotion. Let's just go out to eat."

Mo Chuan nodded, this made sense.

When Qin Xu came out, Mo Chuan raised his hand and said hello, "We are discussing whether to go out for dinner, what do you think?"

Qin Xu naturally had no objection, "Where are we going?"

"The store over here is Jing Yi Pavilion."

"Secretary Yang, do you want to come with us?" Mo Chuan asked before setting off.

Secretary Yang, who felt that he would be out of place if he joined, declined the offer with a feeling of regret.

...........

“Try this, it’s delicious.”

"I understand. Don't give it to me anymore. Eat it yourself."

Linuo moved his plate aside. The food on top had already piled up like a small mountain and he couldn't put any more on it.

Li Yan was a step slower and put down his chopsticks, his face full of regret for not being able to feed.

Li Nuo then slowly ate the food. Next to him was Mo Chuan, who kept chattering about his overseas experiences. He also agreed with him from time to time.

We ate and talked, and before we knew it we had finished the bowl of rice in front of us.

He put down his chopsticks and took a sip of water.

"How long will you continue your assistant work?"

"Until next week."

Mo Chuan nodded in understanding, "Has the surgery time been confirmed?"

"Brother He said about three weeks later."

Li Nuo sighed briefly, feeling a little depressed. Although he trusted Brother He very much, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about the upcoming surgery.

Mo Chuan touched his head and said nothing.

The next day was a rare weekend, and Li Yan was busy doing housework.

Although Li Nuo wanted to help, his younger brother righteously refused and only asked him to do some small things.

Li Nuo sat on the bed that he had just changed and stared out the window blankly at the clear sky without a single cloud in sight. "I'm sleepy."

"Brother, if you are sleepy, go to sleep. I will turn on the air conditioner."

"...What a waste of electricity."

"We can still afford the electricity bill," Li Yan said helplessly. Ever since his brother found out about the family's debt situation, he has changed his attitude and become a stingy person. If it weren't for the hot night, he wouldn't even want to turn on the air conditioner.

"You'll get heatstroke if you sleep like this." The house is originally on the top floor, and there is no attic to provide shelter, so the heat seeps into the house without reservation.

Li Nuo touched his sweaty forehead, looked at Li Yan who was busy and sweating all over, and finally agreed to turn on the air conditioner.

The sound of the old air conditioner starting up was like a lullaby, and Linuo fell asleep quickly.

From that day on, Mo Chuan became more keen on showing off in front of Li Nuo than before. Not only that, he even sent more messages than before.

"Have you arrived at the company?" "Let's have lunch together." "Come to the rooftop garden to rest when you have time." Although she and Director Qin are in the same office, she feels like she sees Mo Chuan more often.

Occasionally, he would receive letters from people whom he had ignored for a long time. After thinking for a while, Li Nuo decided to wait until his surgery was finished before contacting them.

"Ah, there seems to be a 'Dad' as well."

Li Nuo glanced at Li Yan and learned from the bank records that not all of the money Li Yan gave to the original owner was used for luxury consumption. On the contrary, part of it was transferred to another account.

Of course, he stopped this behavior after Linuo came. Strangely, the father did not contact him because he stopped remittances, as if he did not care about his two sons at all.

"Let's just forget about it." Li Nuo had mixed feelings. He didn't have a good impression of the original owner's father.

"Ahem," Li Nuo cleared his throat, "Director Mo asked where we'd like to eat lunch since it's the last day."

"Where do you want to eat?"

"I don't care."

"Then let's go out to eat. It's the last day, and it would be a shame to go to the cafeteria."

Li Nuo nodded and sent a message to Mo Chuan.

Secretary Yang across the street had been in a hurry taking the meeting minutes away since the morning, and he is nowhere to be seen now.

Naturally, Director Qin was not in the office either.

"Brother, I'm going to a meeting too."

After Li Yan left, the office became deserted. Li Nuo sighed. As expected, the secretary's job was not suitable for him.

It can be seen in the past three weeks. I have been busy all day long and have to work overtime as a secretary from time to time. I think my body can't take it.

He fiddled with his work ID card. In the photo, he was smiling faintly.

"It looks like it's suitable for formal wear."

Gently run your fingertips over the place where your name is engraved.

".....Lino."

He looked a little dazed. To be honest, he almost forgot what he originally looked like after looking at the same face all day.

"Are you obsessed with yourself?"

Hearing the voice coming from above, Li Nuo quickly raised his head and looked at Mo Chuan who was leaning against his desk.

"director?!"

"Why are you alone?"

"I just wanted to ask, don't you have a meeting? I see you're very busy today."

"Ah, I don't need it," Mo Chuan sat in Li Yan's seat naturally, "The responsibilities are different."

He glanced sideways at Li Nuo. He was wearing the same suit he wore when he first came to the company today, with his hair combed back. It was the first time he saw him with this hairstyle, but he still looked very good.

"What about your other work? Don't you need to do it?"

Mo Chuan sighed briefly, "I did a good job at my job, so Director Qin hired me."

“........”

"Wait, what does that look mean?"

This time, even Li Nuo showed a look of doubt.

"I have a good job."

Mo Chuan felt a little aggrieved. Although he always sent him messages or came to see him, his work was not delayed.

"So, you came to see me?"

"I feel like today is the last day, which is a bit of a shame."

"What a pity?"

"I didn't see you last week because I was on a business trip. Wasn't the time originally only three weeks?"

Li Nuo was a little confused by what he said. Mo Chuan blinked and had no intention of explaining.

"I'll be here all day."

"Where does Li Yan sit?"

"...Does it matter?"

"Of course."

Mo Chuan let out a long, depressed sigh, "Shouldn't you ask me first why I have to stay here? Why do you care about where Li Yan sits first?"

After losing his memory, Li Nuo seemed to care about his younger brother very much. Even when he went to buy clothes, he would think of the clothes that would probably suit Li Yan very well.

"You brothers have such a good relationship, what will you do if you find someone to date in the future?"

"This won't affect anything, right?"

“But others might be jealous.”

Before he knew it, a big hand overlapped Li Nuo's hand, completely covering his hand.

"Small."

"...I'm not short, it's you who are too tall."

"I didn't say height, I just said hands."

“Then add a subject.”

"Yes, yes, it's my fault."

Mo Chuan smiled slowly. Lately, Li Nuo's attitude towards him had become very natural. He would respond well to his messages and phone calls.

Take it slow, there will be a day when he will be friendly to you.

"When will you be admitted to the hospital?"

"Monday morning."

"Are you going alone? Do you want me to take you there?"

Li Nuo shook his head and said, "Li Yan will take half a day off to take me there."

Mo Chuan sighed, his face full of regret.

Li Nuo moved his hand and touched Mo Chuan's palm.

“Everyone’s hands feel warm.”

Maybe it was because of the poor blood circulation in his body. Even in the hot summer, Li Nuo's hands were cold unless he was exposed to the sun.

"Everyone? Besides me, who else did you hold hands with?"

Although Mo Chuan asked with a smile, his voice sounded creepy for some reason. Li Nuo thought it was because the air conditioner was turned too low.

"It's not a hand-in-hand, it's just an accident."

"So who is it?"

"It's Director Qin. His hands are very warm."

That’s what I felt at the sake house.

Mo Chuan exerted a little force with his hands to get his attention back.

"What about me?"

“The director’s is also very warm.”

"...That's it?"

Looking at his hurt eyes, Li Nuo immediately wanted to say that you are making things difficult for me, but after thinking about it, he decided to endure it.

I could only think hard, and then look into his dark green eyes, and then I said in a daze: "The director's words are like a spring breeze blowing on my face."

“What an abstract concept.”

"You are like spring. Warm and nice."

After hearing what Li Nuo said, Mo Chuan looked down at the two people's clasped hands.

This is the first time I heard this statement and I was so nervous.

My heart seems to be beating faster than usual.

Was it because of holding hands with Li Nuo? Or was it because of that sentence?

But he was sure that spring had indeed arrived in his heart.

"Li Nuo."

"?I am here."

"I'll ask for permission in advance."

"?"

"Can I touch your face?"

Mo Chuan said this very seriously. Li Nuo looked into his eyes and realized this. He always did things on his own before, but now he was very serious.

He nodded his approval.

Mo Chuan put his other hand on Li Nuo's cheek. Maybe it was because of the wind from the air conditioner, it felt a little cold, but it was very soft.

Unexpectedly, the words I had said to Yunjin during our chat came to my mind.

"You chose a beautiful flower, so you need to take good care of it, because although the flower is beautiful, it is fragile. Do you feel the same way about it?"

Now, Mo Chuan can say with certainty: Yes.

Very strong touch.

With a desire.

However, after taking a look at Linuo's innocent yet doubtful eyes, he withdrew his hand. He couldn't guarantee that he could hold back if he continued to stay here.

He was able to steal a kiss on the forehead last time in the rooftop garden, but now he's become timid.

"I have to go now. I've been away from the office for too long."

He stood up reluctantly, "I have something to do at noon and can't come to see you. I will come after get off work and give you a farewell party."

He gently loosened the hand he had been holding and turned to leave Qin Xu's office.

Li Nuo, who was left alone, looked at his back, thoughtful.
