Xue Du knew that his idea was a little ridiculous.
But who doesn’t have delusions sometimes?
He remained calm and picked up the ring box... no, the gift box.
When the gift box was opened, two sapphire cufflinks lay quietly on the black velvet fabric.
Ana Shen looked at his expression from the side: “I had someone make it for me a few days ago. It might have been a bit hasty. I don’t know if it fits… Do you want to try it on?”
He said, "Let me help you."
He seldom gives gifts to others, so putting it on someone’s head with his own hands should be more sincere, right?
Xue Du evaded the question: "It's a bit troublesome."
Ana Shen: “I just learned how to wear it, so I’ll give it a try.”
Before he finished speaking, Xue Du quickly took off his cufflinks and casually put them in his pocket.
Then, the pair of beautiful hands with distinct bones stretched out in front of Shen Yinan.
The movements were so fast that it felt like squatting at the entrance of a supermarket to grab goods, as if if you were a second late, the good stuff would be gone.
Ana Shen had seen many people put on cufflinks before, and when he went to buy them, the master also taught him, so he wouldn’t be embarrassed.
He lowered his head and carefully changed the one for Xue Du's right hand.
When it was his left hand's turn, he paused.
Because of the action, a part of Xue Du's watch was exposed. It was the same model as the one he gave himself, but with a different color scheme.
But Shen Yinan remembered that at the beginning, Xue Du used another model with a higher price.
Noticing his gaze, the young man, whose heart was beating faster just now because of receiving the gift, suddenly felt his heart lift.
When I bought it, I originally only wanted to buy it for Shen Yinan, but for some reason, I bought the same one in black and gold. I originally only wanted to see it for myself, but for some reason, I changed it as soon as I got it.
There are so many “original” things and so many “coincidences”.
I was so happy when I stretched out my sleeves just now, but now I feel so nervous.
What I fear most is that Shen Yinan will notice something and distance himself from me.
But Ana Shen just glanced at it, didn't think much about it, and continued to change his cufflinks.
Xue Du lowered his eyes to look at his sleeves, his gaze swept over Shen Yinan's hand, and suddenly stopped.
I discovered it before. Unlike him who was pampered, although Shen Yinan's hands were beautiful in shape, his skin was a bit rough. If you look closely, there are a few scratches on the palm of his hand.
You can tell at a glance that he has done a lot of hard work.
Xue Du's heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone, a dull stabbing pain mixed with sourness, which was then instantly filled with anger.
What kind of life did he lead before?
How did the Zhao family treat him?
Shen Yinan never said these...
He seemed to be thinking about something and was a little absent-minded.
When he came to his senses, Shen Yinan had already withdrawn his hand.
There were two knocks on the door, and the waiter came in with a few cold dishes and placed them on the table one by one.
Shen Yinan looked over with sparkling eyes: "I asked them to make spicy food, you try it."
He seemed to enjoy eating very much, and Xue Du was also infected by it, and picked up a piece of food closer to him with chopsticks.
Ana Shen asked, “Is it delicious?”
Xue Du said, "It's delicious."
It was a simple conversation, yet warm and harmonious.
The soup was also served, and Xue Du first served a bowl to Shen Yinan.
Shen Yinan felt a little embarrassed and thanked him in a low voice.
During the meal, there was originally one waiter per person, ready to serve at any time, but Xue Du took advantage of Shen Yinan lowering his head to eat the food, gave him a look, and asked them to leave.
Overall, the meal was quite enjoyable.
When it was almost over, Ana Shen asked, “Are you free this afternoon?”
"Yes." Xue Du anticipated something and answered slowly, lowering the corners of his lips.
"Do you want to go out and play?" Shen Yinan asked.
It would be insincere to just treat guests to a meal, so he planned to invite Xue Du to play in the afternoon.
"Okay." Xue Du curled his lips.
It's really hard to suppress a smile.
Ana Shen nodded, thinking about the destination later in his mind.
After dinner, the two walked towards the exit side by side.
Just then, the door next door opened. Gu Yan took out a cigarette and stared at them intently, as if he wanted to eat them alive.
But Shen Yinan didn't even give a glance, and passed by Gu Yan and his group with his head down.
However, Xue Du raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan paused while holding the cigarette and frowned.
Why does it feel like Xue Du’s eyes are unfriendly?
But when he wanted to see clearly again, Xue Du had already gone far away.
*
After getting in the car, Shen Yinan wanted to ask Xue Du about the destination, but his cell phone suddenly rang.
The old lady's kind voice came from the other end of the phone: "Nannan."
“Grandma!” Shen Yinan’s eyes were filled with surprise, “You called me…Are you able to be discharged from the hospital?”
When I went to see him a few days ago, Chen Hua was still asleep. Come to think of it, they hadn't had a good talk for a long time.
Shen Yinan’s eyes were a little red.
But considering Xue Du's presence, his tone was still relatively restrained: "Well, what did the doctor say?"
The other end of the phone said the above again. Shen Yinan glanced at Xue Du who was driving the car, and was a little embarrassed: "Today? Then I..."
"Go." Xue Du said suddenly.
Shen Yinan glanced at him gratefully, and asked Shen Hua a few more details before he felt relieved.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yinan looked at Xue Du with some guilt: "I'm sorry, it was me who asked you out, but I have to break the appointment."
"No rush." Xue Du smiled and spoke slowly in a clear voice, "There's a long way to go."
Ana Shen nodded, planning to open the car door and call a taxi to the hospital.
As soon as my hand touched the door handle, I heard the young man's voice from behind:
"I'll take you there."
Ana Shen was so used to doing everything by himself that he didn’t even think about asking for help.
Besides, I have already stood up Xue Du, so why should I bother him?
His lips moved, and he was about to refuse, but Xue Du seemed to predict his thoughts and spoke softly:
"Don't reject me, okay?"
Those eyes contained emotions that he could hardly distinguish, and Shen Yinan nodded as if he was bewitched: “…Okay, thank you for your help.”
Xue Du's lips curled up slightly, barely perceptible.
He spoke out his thoughts naturally in a bewitching voice.
"Your affairs are not a problem for me."
…
After sending Shen Yinan to the hospital, Xue Du wanted to send them back to Shen's house, but Shen Yinan said that the nanny and bodyguard were already on the way, so he had to give up.
He found a secluded place at the door, and while waiting for the Shen family bodyguard's car to arrive, he opened the social software and sent a message.
Half an hour later, the Shen family's nanny and bodyguard arrived.
Another hour later, a sturdy bodyguard got into the driver's seat, and Shen Yinan helped a white-haired old woman into the back seat, followed by a nanny.
Xue Du watched the car drive away before he felt relieved and drove towards the city center.
Before the car had even started, the phone started ringing like crazy.
I casually pressed the answer button, and a man's gnashing roar came from the other side.
"Xue Du, you're such a fucking bastard who values women over friends!"
"I've had three rounds of fucking drinks, where are you?! If you don't come over here, I'll post pictures of your abs online!"
