After Wu Sijiu finished speaking, he observed Ye Kai calmly. He didn't know what expression he expected to see on Ye Kai's face, but when the other party just said "congratulations" indifferently, Wu Sijiu knew that he was disappointed.
After greeting each other, the two passed each other, one went to the school gate and the other went into the teaching building.
Bang!
Ye Kai was knocked sideways and his books were scattered all over the floor.
The girl who bumped into him was terrified, grabbing her pleated skirt and saying sorry. She was happily discussing with her bestie how explosive her idol's new performance was, and she had never expected to bump into someone in such a wide hall.
Ye Kai squatted down to pick up the book, raised his eyes and smiled at her reassuringly: "It's okay, I was careless."
The girl was speechless, her face flushed red, and she was pulled away by her best friend, looking back every few steps.
"So handsome... Do you know him?"
"Are you crazy? Don't you know that's Ye Kai?"
"Really? This is the first time I've met him in person!" The girl felt like she had missed out on a billion yuan: "If I had known earlier, I would have helped him pick up the books. Maybe I could have gotten his WeChat ID..."
"Wake up, Ye Kai is extremely cold-blooded and won't accept any advances."
"That's right. Young masters from wealthy families like them should have already decided on a beautiful, rich girl."
The sound of their laughter gradually faded away.
There were still a few sheets of manuscript paper with formulas on them left on the ground. Ye Kai reached out his hand, and a white and slender hand picked them up before him.
"I've been following you for so long, why are you so distracted?"
It was his roommate Lu Fu.
Ye Kai took the stack of papers he handed over like a sleepwalker and slowly put them into his textbook.
"What happened?"
Ye Kai's eyes finally focused on Lu Fu and he calmed himself down: "It's okay."
The bell rang, and the two went upstairs side by side and said goodbye at the corner of the third floor.
Lu Fu is a grade higher than him, and it was purely by chance that they became roommates.
"Your birthday is next Saturday, right?" Lu Fu said jokingly, "You are so rich, it's hard to choose a gift."
Ye Kai thought about it and answered seriously: "Take me to the King."
Lu Fu was stunned, holding his shoulders and laughing tremblingly: "Okay, I will take you flying."
On the 65th floor of the GC Group headquarters, the office of the business group president was bright and clean, with a nearly five-meter-wide floor-to-ceiling window facing the calm and wide Xijiang River, and a white cross-river bridge running from east to west. Chen Youhan was sunk in a large leather office chair, with his long legs folded untidy on the desk.
He had just finished a meeting and had untied his tie, doing elementary arithmetic problems on the calendar with an impatient look on his face.
Ye Kai's birthday is on March 15th. After Christmas, he will give gifts on New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Eve. After New Year's Eve, it will be his birthday in less than a month. If he were a boyfriend, he would have to add Valentine's Day. Chen Youhan was startled by this idea and shook off a piece of cigarette ash.
Gu Xiu knocked on the door with a tablet and then pushed it open. He saw their young president Chen cursed because of the cigarette burns.
The look in his eyes when he looked up at me wanted to kill.
Gu Xiu wanted to die.
He coughed and pretended to be blind: "...Mr. Chen, I have selected a few models. Take a look."
He has been asking experts in the field for advice, reading forums and browsing foreign professional evaluation websites these days, and has forced himself to become a theoretical ski expert who can understand all parameters even though he has never been on a slope. Sidecut, camber, effective edge, asymmetry... He doesn't pay so much attention to choosing a wife.
Chen Youhan took the iPad and watched Gu Xiu slide through the albums and introduce them one by one. Even though he was tortured by the various conference plans and his nerves were fragile, he looked at each one one by one, and finally chose the most expensive and best-looking Lib Tech based on his intuition. Gu Xiu gave a thumbs up and flattered him: "Not bad, my president, you are really good at choosing! This limited edition co-branded with a legendary skier, with a sky-high price of $8,000, all the front-end technologies added to it, and customized graffiti by a Hollywood illustrator, will definitely make your boyfriend the most handsome guy in the Alps!"
Chen Youhan asked coldly: "Which legendary skier? Which illustration master?"
Gu Xiu: “…Hehe.”
He quickly put the tablet away, took out the memo and asked, "Height and weight?"
Chen Youhan was stumped by his question.
Haha, this man can obviously recite the financial data of GC Group's commercial sector for the past three years by heart.
Gu Xiu had a look of “Oh my god, look at you” and was heartbroken: “No way, you can’t even remember his most basic physical parameters?”
Body, body, parameter, number.
Chen Youhan's expression changed and he took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Ye Jin.
While waiting for the reply, he asked, "When will it arrive?"
"About a month." International express delivery, this was Gu Xiu's conservative estimate, and then he saw that his bread and butter parents' faces darkened.
"…Is there any problem?"
Chen Youhan gave a cold order: "Collect the work on hand these two days and hand it over to marry——"
“!!!” Gu Xiu was struck by lightning.
"…you fly to the nearest counter and pick up the goods in person."
Gu Xiu's body swayed, and he collapsed in two seconds. ...Can you please stop panting when you talk?
"I have to see it in my trunk before March 15th, or else—"
"I understand," Gu Xiu said sincerely, "Bring your head to me!"
"Okay," Chen Youhan smiled coldly at him, "Go buy your plane ticket."
After all, there was a grand coming-of-age ceremony the following year, so Ye Kai's 17th birthday was not a big celebration. He only invited classmates and teachers to the banquet, plus some close family friends. Qu Jia decided to add a table of school leaders, and Ye Kai lamented for them, thinking that they would inevitably be asked to make a surprise report at the table.
The banquet was held at Sofitel. In order to prevent the high school students from getting bored, the K-room and the lounge were specially booked. On the day of the banquet, the adults were left to Qu Jia and Ye Zheng to take care of, and Ye Kai only had to entertain his group of classmates. Fortunately, the high school students were very good at finding fun on their own, and they would get together in groups of three or five to play. The reception room was gradually filled with colorful gift boxes of all sizes. Chen Youhan opened the door holding a box that was almost as tall as him, and saw Ye Kai almost surrounded by gifts, sitting cross-legged on the carpet with a boy.
The door of the reception room closed heavily and silently, and neither of them looked up.
The battle was fierce. Lu Fu's fingers were pressing on the screen quickly and he was giving voice commands to his teammates.
"Middle lane, middle lane, middle lane! Fuck Shangguan Wan'er, are you sleepwalking?!"
Ye Kai stood next to him and looked at him, the two of them were so close that their breaths intertwined.
"Beautiful!" The sound effect of victory sounded, and Lu Fu handed the phone to Ye Kai, and they looked at the battle rankings together.
Ye Kai Plastic Business: "Is this the great bureau? Love it."
Lu Fu raised his arm, hooked it around Ye Kai's neck and said arrogantly, "Choose, play with friends or play for someone else."
He has black hair and fair skin, and wears a loose trendy T-shirt. There is an evil and arrogance between his eyebrows, which is the youthful vigor that Chen Youhan has lost.
Ye Kai was about to answer when he saw someone else in the reception room. He looked up and saw Chen Youhan standing there with one hand on the gift box and the other in his pocket, looking cynical.
"Brother Youhan?" Ye Kai and his friend hadn't seen each other since he returned to China. He felt a sense of strangeness the moment they met. He smiled and said, "When did you come? I didn't even notice."
Chen Youhan's eyes were gentle and deep.
"Come here." He waved at Ye Kai without any doubt.
Ye Kai stood up and walked over. He saw what it was at a glance: "Snowboard?"
I thought he would be very surprised, his eyes would light up and he would smile with dimples. If there were no strangers in the room, he might even happily open the box and agree with him on the destination for this year's snow season. But Ye Kai just glanced at it calmly.
Chen Youhan let go, and the box, which was as tall as a person, fell towards Ye Kai, who caught it in a panic.
"I just picked it up at random," he said in a relaxed tone, as if he was just picking it up at a roadside stationery store. "There's no after-sales service if you buy the wrong one."
He glanced at the only outsider in the room.
That vague glance made Lu Fu feel like a thorn in his back. He tensed up reflexively and pressed his finger to block the stupid game sound on his phone.
Ye Kai casually moved the box to the wall and mixed it with a pile of gifts.
"I'll open it when I get home." He explained politely and distantly, as if he had not expected a gift from Chen Youhan, and Chen Youhan had not been able to surprise him.
Chen Youhan really wanted to grab him and ask “Don’t you like it?” Although he had prepared very carefully, if he didn’t like it, he could make up for it until he liked it.
But Ye Kai didn't give him this opportunity. He turned around and looked at Lu Fu, and politely introduced: "Brother Youhan, this is my roommate Lu Fu, Lu Fu, this is my brother."
Lu Fu called him "brother" crisply and grinned with half of his white teeth showing.
Chen Youhan nodded coldly and said to Ye Kai, "There are so many elders outside who want to meet you, why are you here playing games with others?"
Ye Kai was puzzled: "You came late, I have already seen everything."
Chen Youhan went to the company to work overtime in the morning. At around 3 pm, the elevated road was jammed due to a car accident. He risked being called an idiot and getting scratched to try to get on the road.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Lu Fu spoke up to break the ice: "Well, Ye Kai, I'll go find Xu Shangyuan and the others first."
Ye Kai turned his gaze away from Chen Youhan and said to Lu Fu, "Wait, I'll go with you."
He looked at Chen Youhan again, his expression normal, with just the right amount of politeness: "Thank you, Brother Youhan, I like the gift very much."
Chen Youhan grabbed his wrist out of control: "If you don't like it, you can change it."
Ye Kai said in surprise: "How could it be? It will definitely be useful during this snow season."
Lu Fu followed Ye Kai out of the door. When he closed the door, he unconsciously turned back to glance at Chen Youhan. He felt that the aura around this handsome man was terribly gloomy.
"Cousin? Cousin?" Lu Fu's voice was blocked by the soundproof door, but it came back clearly to his ears. The hall was filled with people in elegant clothes, and waiters were carrying trays back and forth to serve. Chen Youhan pushed open the door and chased out, remembering that he forgot to say happy birthday to Ye Kai.
Ye Kai replied to Lu Fu: "...No, he is just the son of an uncle who is a close friend of mine."
Chen Youhan stopped.
Ye Jin didn't see Chen Youhan anywhere, so he caught up with him when Ye Kai came to the table and asked, "Where is your dear brother Youhan?"
The dinner was about to start. When Ye Kai was asked this question, he realized that he had indeed not seen him: "Maybe he left after delivering the gift."
The lights in the venue went out, the stage curtain opened, the spotlight came on, and an actor in a dinosaur doll costume gave a monologue.
Ye Jin covered her face in dismay: "Here we go again."
This is a fairy tale play specially arranged by Qu Jia for Ye Kai's birthday party. It is held every year. The plots are all childish and full of self-entertainment. Ye Kai, wearing a suit and a bow tie, watched it carefully. Qu Jia covered her chest, looking at Ye Kai's profile reflected by the light green light, and then looking at her own stage masterpiece. Her heart was alternately flooded with maternal love and a long-expired girlish heart.
She didn't know that she was not the only one watching Ye Kai in the dim light. It was just that she was acting uprightly, while others were taking advantage of the situation.
After nearly ten minutes of performance, the lights suddenly brightened and the applause was overwhelming. According to convention, Ye Kai had to go on stage to say a few words. He didn't even have a script in mind. When he left the stage, his eyes moved slightly and he unexpectedly saw Chen Youhan. It turned out that he didn't leave, but sat there quietly, blending in with the crowd and gently applauding him. The two looked at each other, and he smiled at Ye Kai.
After three rounds of drinks, Qu Jia took Ye Kai to toast. The first table was Chen Youhan's, all of whom were important uncles and family friends. Ye Kai poured white peach flavored still soda water into his cup, and greeted each elder generously, skillfully and well-behavedly, his eyes lightly swept across Chen Youhan's face, called "Brother Youhan", and then moved on to the next one.
Chen Youhan was so bored that he read the WeChat message from Gu Xiu very carefully.
: Boss, are you satisfied with your boyfriend?
The four false words made Chen Youhan's heart skip a beat. He lied to himself word by word: I like it very much.
It was not polite to leave in silence, so while Ye Kai was still toasting, Chen Youhan found Ye Tong to say goodbye, and Ye Tong took the opportunity to ask Ye Jin to see him off. The two walked side by side to the door, leaving behind a crowd of whispers.
"I heard that the Ye family intends to marry off their daughter."
"One is in commercial real estate and the other is in a bank. It's interesting."
"Even without mentioning these, they are still a perfect match."
"Come on," he lowered his voice ambiguously, "Who doesn't know that the number of people Chen Youhan has slept with is enough to fill an entire building?"
Ye Jin lifted her hair and said with a smile, "It's annoying, right?"
"Listen to them fart." Chen Youhan couldn't help but take out a cigarette, but since the lady was present, he just held it in his mouth without lighting it.
"Is it wronged you?"
Chen Youhan stretched out his finger and pointed to two: "Two buildings."
Ye Jin: "...Chen Youhan, you are hurting the enemy by a thousand and yourself by eight hundred, are you afraid that I will rely on you?"
Chen Youhan chuckled: "Why are you, a noble lady, blaming me?"
Ye Jin was stopped from talking. When she was sent to the elevator, she waved her hand without much interest: "Okay, see you later."
The elevator came down from the upper floor, and there was no one inside. Chen Youhan went in and pressed the key for basement level 2. The door slowly closed, and just as it was about to close, a hand came in.
With a beep, the door opened again and Ye Kai stood there with an unstable breath.
The lighting is so gorgeous that it is dazzling.
Chen Youhan unconsciously took the cigarette from his lips, and his casual standing posture instantly straightened up.
"What?" His eyebrows twitched slightly, and his heart beat faster uncontrollably.
Ye Kai stepped into the elevator and pressed the door-closing button: "I'll take you there."
The journey from the third floor to the basement level was very fast, without any stops in between. It took less than ten seconds, but it allowed many thoughts to run through everyone's minds.
"That classmate..."
"Wu Sijiu..."
They both spoke at the same time.
"You speak first." Chen Youhan let him speak.
"You and Wu Sijiu got back together?"
"That's too kind." Chen Youhan returned to his cynical tone.
Ye Kai understood: "I heard that you two are dating."
Chen Youhan asked warily: "Did he tell you that?"
"No," Ye Kai didn't want to talk about other people's faults behind their backs, so he said perfunctorily, "I heard it from others."
Chen Youhan was speechless: "You high school students are quite free, right? You've finished asking questions, right? It's my turn now." He lowered his head and tapped the cigarette on his palm, then asked, "What's wrong with your roommate?"
"What's going on?" Ye Kai was stunned, and a ridiculous guess gradually emerged in his mind: "You are not attracted to him, are you?"
Chen Youhan's heart sank, and a feeling of powerlessness rose from the bottom of his heart, but on the surface he held the cigarette and clapped lazily, "Beautiful, this is who I am in your eyes."
"He's not gay, so don't bother yourself with it." Ye Kai's eyes were dangerous, his tone was tense, and his whole body was abnormally tense.
Only a woman can tell who is a green tea girl. Similarly, only a gay can tell who is gay or straight.
Chen Youhan laughed: "Are you blind or am I blind?"
Ye Kai didn't want to have such a meaningless verbal dispute with him. He looked at Chen Youhan tiredly and seriously and said, "Brother Youhan, no matter what, please don't get close to him."
One Wu Sijiu was enough. He really didn't want to hear stories about how Chen Youhan was good at coaxing people everywhere in Tianyi.
Chen Youhan pretended to be enlightened, but his eyes were filled with dark clouds that were about to rain down. He asked word by word, "You are so nervous about him, is it because you like him?"
