Chapter 15
Xing Zhao tightened his grip on the steering wheel. What happened? Did this kid see through his trick?
"You definitely wouldn't know even if I told you. It has nothing to do with your industry." Xing Zhao turned passive into active. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"No." Wei Ge looked at Xing Zhao's tie and asked tentatively, "Just now when we were shopping, I saw this tie of yours. It cost 3.88 million."
Xing Zhao's hands gripping the steering wheel stiffened for a moment. This kid had a keen eye for observation and could even see his tie.
"This tie of mine is fake. Who would wear a tie worth millions?" Xing Zhao's expression didn't seem to change, and he didn't seem to feel guilty at all.
What kind of psychological pressure could a person who casually wears millions of dollars worth of ties feel when lying to a child like this?
"Fake?" Wei Ge stared at Xing Zhao's tie, as if he wanted to see the logo of the brand from some corner of the tie.
However, this kind of high-end tie usually does not have a logo marked on it, but instead has a hidden pattern embroidered somewhere in a very obscure way.
You can only feel it when you touch it with your hands, otherwise it is just an ordinary unbranded tie.
"But the store said that Mr. Xing often comes to the store to order ties." Wei Ge started, using the three words "Mr. Xing".
If Wei Ge was calling Xing Zhao alone, he would never call him like that.
"Mr. Xing, is that you?" Wei Ge had no intention of avoiding the question. His words gave people the feeling that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
"It's me." Xing Zhao still gave an affirmative answer. Lying does not necessarily mean denying a certain established fact, but making a turning point at a critical juncture.
"I ordered it for my boss. Although our company isn't one of the best in the industry, he's rich." Xing Zhao said calmly, "Of course my boss wouldn't order the tie himself, so of course I did it for him."
You are really wrong. Bosses like Xing Zhao like to make their ties by themselves.
Because he doesn't care about other people's opinions, he personally controls what he wears.
Otherwise, Wei Ge wouldn't have caught him, and the waiter wouldn't have recognized him.
"This tie might indeed be the same style as the one in the store." Xing Zhao took one hand off the steering wheel, reached out to loosen the tie around his neck and turned it.
"I think this pattern is really beautiful, but I can't afford a custom one, so I went to an experienced craftsman to have one made by hand."
The traffic light at the intersection turned green. Xing Zhao turned and glanced at Wei Ge. "How is it? What's the difference between this leader and the 3.88 million?"
Wei Ge had never touched a tie worth 3.88 million, but he subconsciously reached out and touched the tie around Xing Zhao's neck.
It's silky smooth, and has a totally different feel. Although I don't know how it compares to the one that costs 3.88 million, it's definitely different from the ties that cost twenty or thirty yuan sold at small commodity wholesale stores.
"I don't know. I've never touched such an expensive tie, but yours is also very good. Uncle Xing is a very elegant person, and this tie looks more expensive on you."
Wei Ge's serious look made Xing Zhao laugh. Xing Zhao reached out and rubbed Wei Ge's hair: "Then I'll take you to see it next time. Don't give the tie to the boss when you bring it back. Let little Wei Ge touch it first."
"Okay." Wei Ge nodded with a slightly red face. Judging from the way Xing Zhao spoke just now, it seemed as if he wanted him to touch something more valuable than a tie worth millions.
When Wei Ge thought about what he was thinking, he immediately turned around, afraid that Xing Zhao would notice the abnormality in his state.
When he looked up at the traffic light, he saw the countdown of the red light approaching. He did not look back, but reached out tentatively to pull the corner of Xing Zhao's sleeve, but accidentally grabbed Xing Zhao's wrist.
Xing Zhao had a big frame and was a few inches taller than him. Wei Ge once took advantage of Xing Zhao's inattention to carefully observe this hand of his and felt that it could crush him.
Wei Ge pulled his hand back reflexively and said, "The light is green."
"Okay." Xing Zhao stepped on the accelerator, Wei Ge looked out the window, and the car fell into a brief silence for a moment.
The shopping bags behind me were swaying and rustling in the car.
Wei Ge reached into his pocket, and the gift box in his hand lay quietly in his pocket. It was a snowflake-shaped brooch he had just bought for Xing Zhao.
Is this gift too childish? I wonder if Xing Zhao will like it.
I don’t know when, but Wei Ge seemed to start caring about Xing Zhao’s feelings, and began to pay attention to his preferences, his dressing style, his appearance and living habits.
It seemed to have started from that unexpected kiss that night.
Alcohol is harmful, and adulterated alcohol is even more harmful. Wei Ge will never drink it again.
When he drinks, he acts crazy and takes advantage of others. Xing Zhao can tolerate it the first time, but he may not be able to tolerate it the second time.
Moreover, from the last time to now, Wei Ge seemed to have developed a liking for Xing Zhao. If he only liked Xing Zhao's appearance the first time, now he gradually became interested in Xing Zhao as a person.
He was even afraid that he would reveal the truth after drinking.
After all, he himself didn't know what exactly he would say, but it was something that might affect the relationship between the two.
This is far more terrifying than truth or dare.
Some people just can't think straight. They fall asleep as soon as they think about something, especially in the car. Xing Zhao drives very steadily. Sitting in the passenger seat of Xing Zhao's car is like sitting on a small boat on calm water.
So Wei Ge fell asleep, confessing while he was sleeping.
He kept muttering that he wouldn't drink it next time, and he definitely wouldn't drink it next time.
But his voice was so soft that Xing Zhao couldn't hear clearly. He only heard the humming of a child coming from his passenger seat.
Xing Zhao turned around and wanted to ask Wei Ge what he said, only to find that the child had fallen asleep with his hands still in his pockets.
Wei Ge was holding the gift for Xing Zhao in his hand, but Xing Zhao thought it was too cold in the car, so Wei Ge felt his hands were cold and put them into his pocket to warm them.
So at the next corner, Xing Zhao pulled over, took off his suit jacket and covered Wei Ge with it.
Xing Zhao's clothes were too big, covering Wei Ge and wrapping him up completely, making Wei Ge look even thinner.
I inexplicably had the illusion of wanting to protect Wei Ge.
This was actually not the first time Xing Zhao met Wei Ge. The first time he met this kid was when he was a freshman in college.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that Wei Mingzhe was his senior in college, because the two of them had different majors, so it would be more appropriate to say that he was a senior. However, Wei Mingzhe was as nice to him as his own brother, so calling him senior seemed more intimate.
At that time, Xing Zhao was 19 years old, the same age as Wei Ge is now.
Wei Mingzhe is a graduate student at the same school. He studied his major for five years in college. I heard that he took the postgraduate entrance examination for the second time, so he still hadn't graduated at the age of 30.
Some people are just not cut out for studying. Wei Mingzhe is one example of someone who tries to study without any talent.
However, Wei Mingzhe has his own abilities, at least his luck in love is very strong.
Wei Mingzhe, who is still a graduate student at the age of 30, already has an 8-year-old son.
Wei Ge was even thinner at that time than he is now, and seemed a little malnourished.
Wei Ge's mother and Wei Mingzhe met at school. Wei Ge's mother married Wei Mingzhe right after graduating from college, and the two soon gave birth to a child.
Wei Ge doesn't look much like Wei Mingzhe, but more like his mother, with fair and handsome complexion. Moreover, the child has been weak since childhood and is always sick, so he is very thin.
Although he doesn't inherit Wei Mingzhe in other aspects, he does inherit his father's IQ. Wei Ge's academic performance has never been very good, always at an average level, but he works hard.
As hardworking as his father, Wei Mingzhe always says: Your dad doesn't know anything, but he still finished his postgraduate studies, right?
However, Wei Mingzhe did not force Wei Ge to study, because he knew very well that if Wei Ge did not study well, he would not be able to find a good job even if he graduated with a high degree.
He is a typical example.
He also knew that Wei Ge had his own hobby, which was painting. The Wei family had cultivated this hobby in their son since he was a child.
Wei Ge is talented.
When Wei Ge was young, he went to school to play with his father. His father was busy doing experiments and left his son in the classroom next door. Wei Ge then drew in the classroom.
At that time, Xing Zhao was sitting in the first row of the classroom reading a book. Wei Ge thought Xing Zhao was good-looking, so he drew a picture for Xing Zhao.
Before leaving, he ran over and gave it to Xing Zhao. Wei Ge might not remember it, and he didn't know how many times he had met Xing Zhao at that time.
But Xing Zhao remembered.
Xing Zhao still keeps that painting in a folder in his study. In a separate folder, there is only the painting that Wei Ge drew for him.
The car turned a few times and headed towards the highway. There were not many cars on this road, so there would be no problem if we drove fast.
However, Xing Zhao was afraid that driving too fast would affect the children's sleep, so he drove very steadily and was not in a hurry.
It was not until the sun had almost set that Wei Ge turned over and Xing Zhao's suit fell off him, waking him up.
Looking up and out the window, the scene outside is becoming more and more familiar.
Wei Ge pulled Xing Zhao's coat. The smell of tobacco on Xing Zhao's clothes had completely disappeared, replaced by the smell that he always had.
It seemed like the fragrance of laundry detergent, but when Wei Ge was close to Xing Zhao's body that night, the smell was even stronger.
Wei Ge likes the smell very much, which makes people want to hug Xing Zhao.
Thinking of this, Wei Ge even felt a little regretful. He should have pretended that he was not awake.
If he didn't wake up, Xing Zhao would carry him out of the car like he did that night.
"We're here." Xing Zhao's voice interrupted Wei Ge's not innocent thoughts, and Wei Ge's face turned red.
He has been blushing a lot recently, but Xing Zhao really can't sense why Wei Ge is blushing.
Last time Wei Ge blushed, he misunderstood her, and it will be the same this time.
"Is my coat too thick?" Xing Zhao reached out and took the coat that Wei Ge was holding. "I covered you up just now because I was worried you might be cold. Now that we're home, you can cool down and we can go home."
He said he was going home in Lu Shui, and he still said he was going home when he arrived at Wei Ge's house.
Wei Ge even wondered if Xing Zhao was really related to him, since everywhere seemed like home to them.
The two of them seemed to be at home together anywhere.
The word "home" can easily make people have wild thoughts, even people like Wei Ge, who have a not-so-pure mind, can have wild thoughts.
"Okay." Although Wei Ge had countless thoughts in his mind that he couldn't express clearly, he only whispered a small agreement.
Xing Zhao felt that Wei Ge's obedience was just an act.
In fact, Wei Ge’s core is like a reckless lion. Gentleness is just his behavior when facing others. However, if someone can tame him, he will change from false gentleness to real gentleness.
Because he is willing to submit to that person from the bottom of his heart.
