Chapter 73 The Fruit of Greed (6)
Nepeze had another schedule that day and said he would not attend. Temeira was busy preparing for the exhibition and had no time either. Shouye was relieved to hear this.
He still had a lot of things to deal with. Seeing that Shouye did not seem to have any intention of asking more questions, Nepeze got up and left first.
Not long after he left, Temeira came downstairs slowly.
"You're here." Temeira looked like she was not fully awake yet. She was half-closed, wearing pajamas and holding a cup filled with warm water. She pulled out a chair at the dining table and sat down, not forgetting to greet Shouye, "Do you want to eat together?" Shouye
had already eaten before, so of course he would not eat again. She sat next to Temeira and chatted with her casually.
Before coming, Temei said she would show her new works, and she sounded quite satisfied during the communication. After breakfast, Temei took people upstairs. The entire third floor was her studio, divided into two different areas for painting and displaying.
Temei's paintings are very spiritual. She has an unparalleled talent, and love and inspiration flow from her brush. Her paintings emphasize the changes of light and shadow and free brushstrokes. They are developed on the basis of traditional art schools, while also pursuing innovation.
The hot artist of the Mi family is now in great demand, but she doesn't care. Seeing that Shouye has been staring at the painting she just finished, Temei asked: "Do you like this one?"
She opened the terminal and asked someone to send it to her: "You can take it away, but do you want to put it at your home or in the office of the executive building?"
Shouye: "...You don't plan to exhibit this painting?" "
Of course, it's a private work, not for exhibition." Temei's voice rose playfully, with a smile on her lips, "It has belonged to you from the beginning. I was going to give it to you."
The night watchman's eyes fell on the painting again. The retro and elegant Dorothea roses were clustered together, and the slightly curled petals were also depicted in great detail. The unique texture was not gorgeous, but with decadent laziness, just like gentle and lingering love.
"Why did you draw this?"
"Because it's beautiful."
Temera's fingertips were about to touch the drawing paper at a short distance, but she hesitated to take another step forward. The emotions expressed through the painting flowed in her eyes, "That's why I will always miss it."
People and things are missed together.
"I haven't had time to go to a restaurant I like yet. If you're free, would you like to go with me? Don't stay in the office all the time! You should combine work and rest, you know? You can't just work!"
In the end, the night watchman was dragged to the street. Temera had just finished breakfast, so of course she wanted to go shopping first.
"...Actually, you just want to go shopping."
"I won't hide if I'm discovered."
The simple and elegant white dress suits her very well. There is no unnecessary and complicated decoration. The style and texture are all high-end, elegant and gentle. The pink diamond necklace on the crescent-shaped clavicle shines brightly. Her eyes are also shining.
Shouye never refused Temera. She just fixed the messy hair on her forehead and said, "It's up to you, but I won't be responsible for carrying things."
"Oh... okay."
Shouye didn't deliberately hide his and Temera's appearance. People passing by often recognized them, but they just greeted them in a friendly manner and didn't disturb them too much.
Except for the clearing of the area arranged in advance on some occasions, Shouye usually didn't hide his presence like other executives. People from Yongtian might bump into executives from their own city when they go out casually. At the beginning, many people came specially, but after a long time, there was not such a big fight after getting used to it.
Shouye was probably the only executive whose private server was spread all over the Star Network.
The executive officer was not wearing a uniform today either. His slim-fitting shirt easily outlined his slender figure, and his waistline was particularly thin. The black watch matched the pinky ring very well, and the cold white texture made it even more eye-catching.
The people in Yongzhan District, who wanted to show off and keep the photos for themselves, searched on QQ and barely picked out two photos. They had to say a few more words before posting them on Star Network. Look, this is our district's executive officer.
He is handsome and approachable, and his looks are so good that they can't even meet him, unlike the executive officers in other districts who are so arrogant that they can't even meet him.
[So handsome, so handsome, move to Yongzhan quickly]
[Hello handsome man, please don't □□, even if you are so handsome I will not move to Yongzhan District, I will only steal people]
[My defense is broken, our district is also so handsome that I can't sleep at night, but there is only one official photo on the Internet. I am really crying]
But Shouye has no idea about this now. When she saw someone taking pictures of her and Temei, her first reaction was, oh no, her scandal with Temei is going to start spreading again.
The key is the reaction of Nepeze and Yizi, that is what she may need to worry about.
"There's something I think I have to tell you."
Temera suddenly decided to buy a new watch for Shouye. She was having a great time shopping in the store. Shouye, who occasionally raised his hand to try on the styles, was stunned when he suddenly heard the Observer's voice, "What's wrong?"
The Observer hesitated to speak, and after organizing his words, he told her, "Makino is here too."
Shouye:?
Shouye: "Who are you talking about? Who is in the Yongzhao District?"
"Because of the request of a partner, he came to the Yongzhao District temporarily. Oh, and Makisuke heard about the relationship between the research institute, the auction and the church, and he seems to be planning to sneak into the church."
"...He has a really big heart."
"You can't say anything about me now."
Shouye: "..."
"He ran into you just after discussing the cooperation, and he was there, staring at you for a long time, and was almost chased away as a pervert."
Shouye was speechless for a moment. She said that she vaguely felt that there was a familiar breath around her, and she suspected that it was her illusion and didn't think about this, but it turned out to be true.
"What's wrong?" Temeila had just put the silver watch on her hand. When she looked up, she found that she was distracted. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Shouye's eyes, "Are you under too much pressure? You are often distracted recently."
"No, I was just thinking about something."
Shouye came back to her senses. She lowered her eyes to the high-end watch on her wrist, "I think this one is not bad."
After hearing this, Temeila finally stopped the idea of continuing to search. She knew that Shouye would prefer to wear it directly, so she simply asked someone to put the original one into a gift box, and she also bought the previous watches of equally decent quality.
After Shouye accepted it, he turned his ability around and put it back to his private residence. The executive officer, who was indifferent to the outside world, smiled first this time, with a rare gentleness and indulgence, and his tone seemed to be teasing: "Return gift?"
"I guess so." Temera thought for a moment, then added, "Mainly, I want to give it to you."
"You always act like you have no desires, so I always want to leave more traces on you. Although I can't send you to the chief position, these small gifts are still okay."
Shouye was a little surprised. She really didn't expect that she would get this impression, and it came from Temera's mouth. She smiled, "Because what I want can't be said."
At the moment, she just wanted to bring down those executives.
Before the target turned to the next venue, Shouye suddenly looked back, and a familiar figure flashed by. Temeira tilted her head to look at her, and the black-haired young man explained nonchalantly: "Nothing, someone has been following us, but he is not from this area."
Temeira frowned, and her cheerful voice suddenly became a little colder: "Do you want to get rid of him?"
"Forget it."
Shouye took the person and walked forward, walking at a leisurely pace with implicit disdain, indifferent and cold, "It's not a big problem, not worth your effort."
She knew that Makisuke should be able to hear what she said.
She said it to him.
The subconscious arrogance would make him exclude the option of attributing it to the same person, at least when he thought about it again, he would hesitate.
From hesitation, doubt, to complete denial, this is the process she wants to promote.
She didn't want to let Suyuan know her identity as an executive officer yet.
The restaurant had already been cleared in advance. Temera walked briskly to a seat by the window. She tilted her head to look out the window, and the blue sky and soft clouds were reflected in her eyes.
The night watchman then realized that she didn't wear any earrings today, and she used to wear different earrings.
Upon hearing this, Temera tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her beautiful neckline and necklace. She drank the drink that the waiter had just brought her, and casually said, "I was in a hurry to leave, so I was too lazy to go."
Shouye knew what she was thinking and couldn't help laughing, "It seems that you like this necklace very much. I was right to wait for this auction."
"Of course I like it." Temera blinked, and did not forget to add, "But it also depends on the person who gives the gift. I don't like everyone who gives it."
Temera had to go to the exhibition to check the progress later, so Shouye went back to the executive building to handle things. She also brought a dessert back, but it was not for herself.
The little jellyfish excitedly throbbed its eardrums, twisted its tentacles to wrap around the cake, slowly moved closer to its mouthparts, and finally swallowed the whole thing. The whole process took only a few seconds, so fast that Shouye doubted whether he could taste it. But he looked very happy.
Most people always thought that Shouye liked sweets because he would always bring back desserts when he went out. The nutritionist in charge of the executive officer's meals would occasionally consider giving him a moderate amount of desserts, but in fact, all of them were eaten by Uros in the end.
He liked to eat these small snacks, which did not take up much of Uros' appetite and did not affect his next meal.
Weirdness was his real food.
Shouye couldn't figure out why the awakened person became like this after merging with the weird, but the inside of the weird seemed to evolve by devouring its own kind, and it might be affected by another part.
She sighed. So much time had passed, and Uros and the weird inside his body had already completely merged together. If she wanted to cure him, forcibly separating the weird would harm him.
In a trance, Uros had turned back into a human male. He stared at Shouye, as if he wanted to ask her what was wrong.
"No." Shouye wanted him to turn back into that little jellyfish so that she could poke his little umbrella, but she didn't say this idea in the end, "I just suddenly felt that."
"If I could go back to the institute, I would definitely take you out as early as possible and find a way to cure you."
