World 2
Adults are much more likely to get stuck in a rut than children who think the world is either black or white, but there are also good sides to adults.
That is, once I figure something out, I will tell the truth.
So Yang Zheyu told Shang Feng about the phone call Lu Xinian made to him after he returned to China, including the content of the conversation on the phone.
He also recounted the conversation between Lu Xinian and himself after they met in real life, but he intentionally embellished the situation where he ran away due to the emergence of the system as "I saw a spider at that time."
The fur ball beside him snorted twice, perhaps because it was getting angrier the more it tried to hold back. It couldn't retreat anytime soon, as its system had no legs. It chose to emphasize to its host once more: "I'm not a spider!"
Yang Zheyu looked like he was waiting for Shang Feng to digest this information, but privately he was already comforting Maoqiu in his heart with ease.
[Yes, it was my fault. I didn’t look carefully at the time.]
Question: Who in a relationship is not only responsible for coaxing his or her lover, but also responsible for coaxing a non-Earth creature?
Answer: Yang Zheyu.
The business world is full of old foxes who have seen a lot of bad things. When Shang Feng dealt with those old guys, he also heard stories from them that destroyed his worldview.
Zhengxing hadn't woken up yet at that time, so even if Shangfeng didn't want to continue listening, he still had to say something like "Haha, it seems quite interesting."
So it only took him a few minutes to digest the message of 'leaving his ex behind and trying to persuade his current partner to break up with him', but...
He looked at Yang Zheyu with a puzzled expression, and felt a little embarrassed to ask the question.
"What's up?" Yang Zheyu placed his hands on the desk behind him, his attitude very casual. "If you have any questions, just ask directly."
"Then I'll ask directly." Shang Feng touched his chin, "Why did Lu Xinian choose to come to you after returning to China, and why did you agree to him?"
At this moment, the alarm bells in Yang Zheyu's mind rang, and the relaxed smile on his face almost disappeared: "...What do you mean by this?"
"No, I shouldn't ask that." Shang Feng put down his hand and looked directly at Yang Zheyu in front of him. "I should ask this. He must be saying that because he has done similar things before. He thinks you will agree to him this time, so he is so fearless. So, why did you choose to go to his appointment under such circumstances?"
"What else did he do before?" Shang Feng's expression gradually began to resemble that of Zhengxing's chairman as he spoke. "Did your going on the date mean... that you knew exactly what he would say to you. Were you planning to just break up with me?"
——It’s over.
Yang Zheyu looked at Shang Feng, who was unusually aggressive, and subconsciously wanted to step back.
The situation was different from what he had originally expected. In his expectation, Shang Feng would not be so sensitive. At most, Shang Feng would just feel something was wrong and then ask him what was going on.
But Yang Zheyu's body was already leaning against the front edge of the desk and he could no longer move back.
Although he was prepared to explain those things to Shang Feng, he was not ready to deal with Shang Feng, who guessed everything correctly and did not leave him any way out.
...You knew nothing about emotions before, so how come you have become so sensitive now?
If the current situation is not wrong, the system will choose to answer the host's question: because it is used to being taught by the host, and now the host does not seem to want to continue teaching.
All the things about friendship in the past were taught to Shangfeng by the young Yang Zheyu.
As for the issue of love, Shang Feng, who wanted to pursue Lu Xinian, also asked Yang Zheyu what to do.
Even when Shangfeng felt pressured by the expectations of his family, the two of them still remained as student and teacher.
It can be said that Shangfeng has gradually become dependent on Yang Zheyu. Because he is not good at handling these relationships and does not know how to act in a way that is considered "good" rather than "bad" by most people, he always hopes that Yang Zheyu can give him the answer.
But now that their relationship has changed from friends to lovers, it is impossible for Yang Zheyu to continue teaching Shangfeng step by step.
He can teach Shang Feng how to deal with jokes that Shang Feng doesn't understand, he can explain to Shang Feng, he can teach Shang Feng to pursue Lu Xinian, and he can also teach Shang Feng to make a place for himself to relax under the high pressure created by his family - but that's all because the person he wants to help Shang Feng deal with is not himself.
Shangfeng finally realized that Yang Zheyu was also hiding something from him, and that he wasn't the relationship genius he'd imagined. Yang Zheyu was also human, and just like himself when Zhengxing was being smeared, he would feel the urge to escape under pressure.
Either let him go, and the two of them go their separate ways. Or chase him, and the two of them end up side by side. There are only these two options.
"You told me before that you hoped we could create our own company." Yang Zheyu sighed and chose to tell the truth. "Then Lu Xinian somehow found out about this, and he told me... he hoped I could keep my distance from you."
He chose not to include what Lu Xinian said to him, because there was no need to make Shang Feng even more unhappy when he was already unhappy.
"So you really..." Shang Feng thought of Yang Zheyu, who had distanced himself from him in the past, and felt a surge of anger. "You really kept your distance from me."
The next day, after the two had already decided on the company name "Zhengxing" and agreed on their respective positions, Yang Zheyu abruptly walked away. He felt he had done something wrong, but couldn't bring himself to ask. The distance between them grew, and in the end, he couldn't even see Yang Zheyu's back.
It seems to be my problem, Shang Feng thought to himself. But it's not entirely my problem.
"I can't help it. You were dating at the time," Yang Zheyu replied with a smile. "We were good brothers back then. I can't possibly tell you about him. What kind of person would I be then?"
...a lie.
Shang Feng knows Yang Zheyu's ability to handle relationships better than anyone else.
Whether he was being resented without reason or being scolded out of anger, Yang Zheyu always had the ability to not make the situation worse. During the time when the two were inseparable, Shang Feng had seen countless times that those who had some resentment towards Yang Zheyu gradually fell in love with him.
Yang Zheyu has such charm, and if he wants to, it is impossible for him to deal with bad friendship and brotherly love.
Shang Feng closed his eyes: "He should have said more than just this to you."
It's no surprise that Lu Xinian feels a sense of crisis towards Yang Zheyu, who has been with him since he was seven years old.
And Lu Xinian, who left him to go abroad when he needed comfort the most, and said before leaving, "You don't want me to be dragged down by you," there was no way he would have spoken kindly to Yang Zheyu at that time.
Yang Zheyu certainly knew how to quickly close the distance between himself and others, and also knew how to shut them down with words. Unless, at that time, he had already realized that he liked his brother and didn't want to be treated that way by his brother's partner.
This is the real reason why Yang Zheyu distanced himself from me.
"I'm a little hungry." Yang Zheyu asked casually, "How long until lunch?"
Shang Feng took out his phone, glanced at it, and put it on the desk: "I don't know either."
As he said this, he took a step forward and hugged Yang Zheyu, who was standing in front of him and asked, "Huh? Didn't you just check the time?"
Shang Feng felt the familiar touch on his hand and whispered, "I forgive you."
Yang Zheyu raised his eyebrows: "Hmm——?"
Wait, what is this?
"I forgive you for choosing to distance yourself from me without even telling me." Shang Feng whispered as he helped Yang Zheyu fix his loose tie. "You're not responsible for my sadness and confusion back then."
Yang Zheyu's eyebrows fell back to their original position: Well, it was indeed his problem to distance himself from her without saying hello.
He took advantage of the fact that Shang Feng couldn't open his mouth to ask him what had happened, so he left so abruptly.
"I also forgive you for not trusting me after we became a couple and choosing to go on a date with Lu Xinian instead of telling me about it immediately after receiving his call." Shang Feng continued.
Yang Zheyu hugged his waist back in anger, the man's tone half complaining, half begging for mercy: "Don't just blame me, you are also wrong, right? So can't we just..."
Reveal the past?
"But I also want to apologize to you," Shang Feng interrupted Yang Zheyu, "I'm sorry that I didn't realize my problem before."
Yang Zheyu's eyes widened, and he subconsciously wanted to touch Shang Feng's forehead: Who is this? Is this really Shang Feng?
Shang Feng actually discovered one day that he was dealing with interpersonal problems and apologized to him. Is he dreaming now?
"I won't use words like 'because I'm not good at dealing with emotional matters' to brush you off, because actions speak louder than words, and I prefer to prove it with actions." Shang Feng held Yang Zheyu's hand, "So I will learn how to care for you, just like you learned to deal with serious matters for me."
Yang Zheyu's hand subconsciously retracted.
"So let's work hard together from now on." Shang Feng turned his head and gently kissed the back of Yang Zheyu's hand, "Okay?"
…
When the two of them went out together, the two meals that the personal assistant was carrying were already cold.
"I'm sorry." The personal assistant looked at the two people who looked calm and didn't seem to have just argued. She felt like crying but couldn't. "Actually, the delivery guy just arrived. I signed for the food and let him go. He knocked on the door when he came up, but..."
But after knocking for a long time, the door was still closed and showed no sign of opening.
However, the person who came to deliver the documents specifically reminded him not to continue knocking after seeing him - because the two people in the office were probably arguing.
He didn't dare to knock and continued to wait at the door.
He was nominally Shangfeng's personal assistant, but to Shangfeng, who no longer trusted outsiders, he was not that important.
Getting paid to slack off is one of life's great pleasures, but if your boss pays you a high salary but doesn't let you do any heavy work, it can easily make people feel scared.
So even though he was nominally Shang Feng's personal assistant, he was very afraid of meeting his boss, fearing that he would be fired one day.
It is very difficult to find a similar job that offers two days off a week, six insurances and two funds, and either direct payment on holidays or organized overseas travel, high salary, and advance payment.
"Just heat it up in the microwave," Yang Zheyu took the food from him. "No need to apologize. We didn't hear it anyway."
The assistant looked at Yang Zheyu standing in front of him, with "gratitude" written in his left eye and "excitement" written in his right eye.
Shang Feng, who was about to say something, shut up when he saw this.
Yang Zheyu turned his head and looked at him, signaling him with his eyes: Since you want to learn to change, start with your attitude towards other people.
Shang Feng had no choice but to look at his personal assistant and said in a very stiff tone: "Don't take it to heart."
The secretary subconsciously turned his head away, his face full of shock.
"Okay, go do what you should do." Shang Feng said this without looking at him again, but took Yang Zheyu's hand, turned and walked into the office, closing the door again.
……ah.
The personal assistant turned around, still feeling a little dizzy.
He walked to the elevator door and pressed the down button.
He walked into the elevator and stood inside.
The elevator made a ding sound, indicating that it had arrived.
……ah?
Chairman Shang, who always has a cold face, seemed to have just said to him "It's okay"?
The personal assistant felt as if he had bumped into someone. He shuddered and finally came out of his state: "Ah... well, sorry!"
"It's okay, what's wrong with you?" The other person held his shoulder. It was the person who had just gone up to deliver the documents. "Why do you look like that? Did you get scolded just now?"
"He didn't scold me," the personal assistant murmured. "Not only that, he even told me not to take it to heart and told me to do what I had to do."
"Oh, the person who said that should be Mr. Yang, right? He has always been kind and a very good person..."
"No, it's Chairman Shang."
"Oh oh... no, wait, who are you talking about?!"
