Chapter 56. Feng Xingyun lowered his eyes with a slight blush...
Feng Xingyun lowered his eyes slightly, a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly, "I'll bring your luggage in."
His naivety at this moment aroused Liu Duanhe's interest, allowing him to regain control from Liu Duanhe's previous ambiguous, sweet, and skillful words of love.
Feng Xingyun's ears burned. Without saying a word, he opened the door, picked up the suitcase by the door, and carried it inside.
His strong arm muscles bulged, radiating vitality, and he looked very reassuring.
Liu Duanhe pulled out his chair, leisurely propped his chin up to look, his thick, long eyelashes fluttering, making his eyes sparkle, as beautiful as a ragdoll cat.
Seeing him like that, Feng Xingyun suddenly felt full of strength. He had only wanted to change the subject, but now he wished he could lift another ton of luggage. The two of them were together in quiet silence, and Liu Duanhe's gaze was only on him.
Liu Duanhe did not hide his relationship with Feng Xingyun, and with so many eyes in the school watching his every move, everyone soon knew that the school heartthrob was dating his roommate.
Liu Duanhe is a prominent figure in the forum, and even more so in his offline life; his every appearance is the focus of attention.
Of course, many people know that the relationship between the school heartthrob and Feng Xingyun can be described as that of mortal enemies. Their relationship was very cold. The school heartthrob was gentle and polite. Although he did not say anything bad about his roommate, his attitude of keeping his distance was very obvious.
Feng Xingyun never bothered with pretense; most of his basketball team knew he disliked Liu Duanhe, and the two had a terrible relationship.
The change in their relationship has shocked everyone. The forum has exploded with posts, and even an old post that had just revealed some clues has been brought up again, with new comments filled with lamentations.
They really couldn't accept that the school heartthrob, who was gentle but emotionally unapproachable, had chosen such a scoundrel. In the eyes of most of the classmates who didn't expect to marry a swan but just admired his good looks, Liu Duanhe would most likely marry a beautiful and gentle rich girl and have a well-behaved and cute child in the future, a standard life winner.
The key is that Feng Xingyun always has a stern face and looks so fierce, like the kind of person who would commit domestic violence. He was also so rude to the school heartthrob before. Will he really treat the school heartthrob well?
The students on the forum were extremely worried about Liu Duanhe.
At this moment, Liu Duanhe was dealing with Feng Xingyun's persistent and clingy nature.
During the previous holiday, Liu Duanhe hadn't noticed it yet. Due to his work and the distance between them, Feng Xingyun didn't have much room to maneuver. It wasn't until he returned to school that he truly witnessed Feng Xingyun's clinginess.
A love-struck mind devoid of any illusions.
Liu Duanhe took him back to the house near the school today.
He sighed helplessly, wearily pulled Feng Xingyun away from his neck, and patted his face lightly. "Come on, I'm going to the study to finish my work for today."
Feng Xingyun was inhaling the fragrance from his neck, still clinging to him and refusing to get up, her hands tightly gripping his shoulders.
He pulled half of his body up, like a lazy cheetah pulling up a piece of its body.
Liu Duanhe couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Hurry up, I have important business to attend to, I have a meeting."
Feng Xingyun then got up from the sofa and sighed, "Sigh, how about I have my dad retire and hand over all our family's assets to you to manage? We can also hire a professional manager, then you won't have to be so busy and anxious."
Liu Duanhe gave him a deep look. This was no small sum of money, not just a few hundred or tens of thousands of yuan. The Feng family had been riding the wave of opportunity in recent years, and their stock price had skyrocketed. This was at least a hundred billion yuan in assets.
Even if it was just talk, Liu Duanhe understood. Besides, Feng Xingyun was never one to lie or make empty promises; if he said he wanted to give, he really meant it.
Liu Duanhe wasn't truly heartless; how could he not be moved?
He patted Feng Xingyun's buzz cut and said, "I'll be out with you soon, okay?"
Feng Xingyun was surprised for a moment, his cold and hard features softened a little. He never expected that he would have a day when he competed for a job.
Well, it wasn't a complete victory yet.
He nodded and said, "Okay."
Because Feng Xingyun was going to show off his skills today, he bought groceries and came back, so Liu Duanhe didn't call the housekeeper to cook.
Today's meeting mainly focused on the final stages of the Taicheng project. Taicheng Manufacturing Group finally relented, and negotiations have reached a new milestone.
Liu Duanhe is a perfectionist. He hopes to deliver a perfect answer before his grandfather passes away. Even though he has already secured the victory, he is determined to do it perfectly and get full marks!
To allow Grandpa to leave in peace, to leave with pride, contentment, and no regrets.
The meeting ended later than he expected. Liu Duanhe rubbed his temples. He still had some aftereffects of his head injury, and he was feeling dizzy from overwork. Fortunately, the doctor said it wasn't permanent and he would recover gradually after this period of rest.
Liu Duanhe picked up his phone and walked out of the study.
The dining room was brightly lit, and a wonderful aroma filled the air as soon as you entered.
Liu Duanhe's gaze was as gentle as spring water when he didn't know it, watching Feng Xingyun's back with an upturned smile on his lips, a genuine smile without any pretense.
When Feng Xingyun finished serving the food and turned around, she noticed him standing at the door. The man, who had always been indifferent, was now wearing an apron and looking like a stay-at-home husband. Feng Xingyun was slightly surprised by the stark contrast.
"Just in time." Feng Xingyun snapped out of his daze, raised an eyebrow, and took the dessert out of the oven.
Liu Duanhe was even more surprised than him at this moment, "When did you learn to bake pastries?"
Feng Xingyun said casually, "Last time when I brought you food, didn't you say that Auntie's cakes were delicious? So I learned a few tricks from her."
Liu Duanhe stepped forward to help him carry it, and examined it carefully. "This doesn't look like a few moves, it must be at least dozens of moves, right?"
It's so exquisitely made, and it looks very appealing. It's clear that Feng Xingyun didn't just learn a little bit as he claimed.
Liu Duanhe felt a subtle stirring in his heart. His gaze swept over her, then he lowered his eyes gently and murmured, "You really are."
Feng Xingyun placed the things on the table, turned around and looked at Feng Xingyun seriously, saying, "It doesn't matter how long I've studied, what matters most is that you like it."
"Try it, is it to your liking?"
His deep, handsome face was expressionless, but the deep affection in his eyes was incredibly genuine, like a hawk locking onto him firmly.
Liu Duanhe, unusually, avoided the question. He was stunned, completely locked onto by the man's dark eyes. After a long while, he lowered his head, gently cut off a piece with a spoon, and when he looked up after tasting it, he acted as if nothing had happened. "It tastes very good. I like it very much."
Feng Xingyun knew that even if the food wasn't good, Liu Duanhe would still say it was delicious. That was just how considerate and thoughtful he was; he almost never intentionally embarrassed anyone.
Perhaps the day when Liu Duanhe unceremoniously lashes out at him will be the day they can truly be together.
Feng Xingyun saw through his evasiveness, but he wasn't discouraged. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Finding an excuse, Liu Duanhe went to the balcony and opened the window to calm himself down. The early spring wind still had a bit of chill, but it carried a hint of sweetness that melted Liu Duanhe's heart.
Liu Duanhe rubbed his face vigorously, his fair, jade-like face flushed with a captivating blush, his heart fluttering like a thousand butterflies.
Feng Xingyun stared at his retreating figure, his chest pounding wildly, his mind filled with the image of his feigned indifference.
It was precisely because of Liu Duanhe's seemingly gentle, cold, and ascetic nature that Feng Xingyun longed for the color of desire emanating from him, and for his undeniable sensuality that broke through the barriers.
Just like when he first glimpsed Liu Duanhe's silence shrouded in smoke beside the abandoned building, what surfaced in his heart was not disgust, but astonished fascination. Liu Duanhe possessed this kind of crazy charm that made it impossible to look away.
Liu Duanhe quickly composed himself and came out from the balcony to eat.
Feng Xingyun also suppressed his emotions. Although the two remained silent throughout, every time their eyes met, their gazes seemed to be hooked, lingering and reluctant to leave.
After the meal, Liu Duanhe neither asked him to stay nor chased him away.
So Feng Xingyun seized the opportunity and stayed.
Of course, it's the guest room.
Before they were officially together, Liu Duanhe would never allow Feng Xingyun into his room.
From the age of twelve, he stopped allowing outsiders into his bedroom. When cleaning, Liu Duanhe preferred to clean the entire room himself rather than allow others to enter. The feeling of having his private space invaded by outsiders was too unpleasant.
After dinner, Liu Duanhe held a cup of coffee and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the beautiful sunset while pondering his recent schedule.
After slowly finishing his coffee, he felt a bit like having a cigarette. Liu Duanhe didn't have a serious smoking habit; he usually only smoked when he was in a bad mood, and only a few times during his college year, and Feng Xingyun even caught him smoking once.
However, I've been smoking much more often lately. A while ago it was because of stress, and recently it's because I'm feeling anxious.
At this point, Liu Duanhe knew that he should quit smoking, or he would become addicted.
Liu Duanhe rubbed his itchy teeth, let out a long breath, and the rich aroma of coffee somewhat suppressed his sudden craving.
Feng Xingyun suddenly appeared behind him at some point and handed him a jar of candy. The jar, which looked to contain several hundred candies, seemed a little small in his large palm.
"Quit smoking, you've been smoking too much lately."
Feng Xingyun kept a close eye on Liu Duanhe's every move. Whenever he had free time, he would follow Liu Duanhe closely. During the holidays, he was actually restricted because both of them had to go to the company. Now that school had started, Feng Xingyun kept an even closer eye on Liu Duanhe.
He also felt that Liu Duanhe had been smoking much more often recently, which made him a little anxious.
Then he found his mother's dating guide, a jar of candy containing only names, and used it to blackmail him into giving her a luxury car.
Liu Duanhe took the candy jar, picked out a grape-flavored one, threw it into his mouth, and crunched it with his teeth, mumbling, "It tastes good."
