Chapter 111 My brother is here to pick me up
After visiting the scene, I had a brief meeting with the person in charge. It was already past seven o'clock when it ended.
Han Jingyi said he would take them both out for dinner.
Treating employees to meals when they work overtime is a normal practice for most bosses, but Lin Xu was a little hesitant.
It doesn’t matter if it’s someone else, but Han Jingyi liked him after all, and his attitude now is unclear. He is worried that it will make Zhou Yan unhappy.
He knew better than anyone how jealous Zhou Yan was, and there was no need to make him unhappy because of someone who had nothing to do with him.
Han Jingyi knew what he was thinking when he saw his hesitation.
"How about you report it? We're not eating alone anyway, isn't Hu Kai here with us?"
"Are the rules at home so strict?" Hu Kai was just watching the fun and didn't mind making trouble.
"No, I'll make a phone call."
Lin Xu couldn't refuse, so he had to call Zhou Yan to report.
He directly told Zhou Yan that he would have dinner with Han Jingyi and his colleagues before going back. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan didn't say anything, but just asked him to send his location and pick him up after dinner.
"Hey, then I'll go. Be careful on the road when you come over later." Lin Xu instructed.
Zhou Yan hung up the phone, thought about his cheerful tone, and reflected on himself.
In order to satisfy his excessive possessiveness, Lin Xu tried hard to avoid suspicion and even sought his own consent before having dinner with his colleagues.
But he met so many people every day, and Lin Xu trusted him very much and didn't ask too many questions.
Even when his ex-girlfriend was causing such trouble, Lin Xu remained tolerant towards him.
In this regard, he was indeed not as good as Lin Xu.
Thinking about it, Zhou Yan felt that he should do something.
Han Jingyi knew that Lin Xu couldn't drink much, so he didn't order any wine for dinner.
Han Jingyi couldn't tell what his attitude towards Lin Xu was now.
After all, he is different from others.
Han Jingyi was happy every day when he saw Lin Xu happy.
Even though a large part of Lin Xu's happiness came from Zhou Yan, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
As long as Lin Xu is happy, Han Jingyi feels that he is also full of motivation.
Recently, even his father expressed his approval of his work, saying that he is growing very fast.
His life is very fulfilling now, and Han Jingyi feels much happier than when he was just living a life of eating and waiting to die.
As he sighed, his eyes unconsciously fell on Lin Xu.
He sat on one side, Hu Kai sat opposite him, and Lin Xu sat next to Hu Kai.
Han Jingyi was staring at Lin Xu in a trance, and Hu Kai, who was sitting opposite him, could see everything clearly.
He pulled the corners of his lips and suddenly kicked Han Jingyi under the table.
"Hiss—" Han Jingyi grimaced in pain as he came back to his senses. "What are you doing?"
Hu Kai said calmly: "Sorry, my legs are numb and I wanted to move a little, but I didn't expect the movement to be too big."
Han Jingyi pulled his leg back and rubbed it: "It hurts so much."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Han, let me rub it for you." Hu Kai said as he actually reached out his hand from under the table.
Han Jingyi was startled, his knees almost pulled back to his chest: "No, no."
Hu Kai withdrew his hand and continued eating as if nothing had happened.
While Lin Xu was eating, he heard a loud crash under the table. The sound was so loud that it hurt. Is he really okay?
After dinner, Han Jingyi wanted to take them both home.
Lin Xu said no need.
Han Jingyi looked at him, feeling a little hurt by Lin Xu's rejection. "I'll send you off first and then Hu Kai. You don't have to be alone with me, so you don't have to refuse."
Lin Xu quickly pointed across the street: "You're overthinking it. It's really not true. My brother is here to pick me up."
Han Jingyi felt like he had been stabbed again.
Zhou Yan might not be staring too closely.
"Then I'll be leaving first. Be safe on the road. See you on Monday."
Lin Xu said goodbye to Han Jingyi and Hu Kai, and skipped across the street.
Zhou Yan got out of the car, straightened his askew coat, opened the passenger door for him to sit in, then nodded to Han Jingyi opposite him and drove away.
Han Jingyi took a deep breath.
It's unnecessary, right? Wearing a suit and tie to pick someone up late at night is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?
He has already kept a distance from Lin Xu as an ordinary colleague, so why does Zhou Yan still have to show off in front of him?
This person is too aggressive and has no sense of boundaries.
After Han Jingyi finished complaining, he asked Hu Kai to get in the car and take him home.
Lin Xu was in a good mood when he saw Zhou Yan. He opened the car window slightly, letting in the cool night breeze, and did something that Zhou Yan felt ruined the atmosphere.
Lin Xu took out his cell phone and transferred money to Zhou Yan.
"I got my bonus and transferred the rent for the second half of the year to you."
Zhou Yan: …
"Do you think it's appropriate for you to pay me rent now?"
Lin Xu picked up the phone Zhou Yan had placed on the center console, unlocked it, and clicked to pay.
And he said it as if it was a matter of course: "Of course it's suitable. I live in your house because I rent it. Besides, you are responsible for a lot of daily expenses now. A couple should share the household expenses, right?"
Zhou Yan really had no intention of calculating the rent from him.
I rented out my bedroom because I wanted to make my home more lively, so the rent was not high.
Now that the two are in a relationship, even if he doesn't rent the house to Lin Xu, he will let Lin Xu live with him.
He didn't want Lin Xu to settle things with him so clearly.
But hearing Lin Xu say the words "burden the household expenses" made him happy.
"Designer Lin is so rich. If I lose my job in the future, I don't have to worry about you not being able to support me." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"It's definitely no problem to support you, but you shouldn't be unemployed. You're so capable, you wouldn't even be unemployed if I were."
"What if?"
"If that happens, I'll just keep you. That way, I can see you every day after get off work, and I won't have to wait until midnight for you to come back from social events."
Lin Xu imagined that such a life would be quite beautiful.
Zhou Yan smiled faintly and shook Lin Xu's hand.
"But why are you dressed so formally to pick me up? Did you go out to do something just now?" Lin Xu asked, looking at Zhou Yan in a suit.
Zhou Yan has a good figure and looks good in a suit. But at this time, it looks a bit strange to wear this.
Zhou Yan nodded: "Yes, I did something important."
"Oh. Where are you going? This is not the way home." Lin Xu noticed the environment outside. It was not the way home as usual.
"Well, let's not go back yet. Let me take you somewhere."
"Where are you going?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Zhou Yan took Lin Xu to the lakeside park where they first confessed their love.
The snack street is at its busiest at this time.
Lin Xu thought Zhou Yan hadn't eaten yet, so he brought him here for a midnight snack.
As a result, Zhou Yan parked the car on the other side of the lake away from the crowd.
"Why are you here?" Lin Xu asked curiously.
Zhou Yan smiled gently and said, "You'll know when you get off the car."
He got out of the driver's seat, walked around to the passenger seat, held Lin Xu's shoulders and walked to the rear of the car.
Then she turned his body around and pressed his head into her arms to prevent him from seeing.
"Close your eyes."
Lin Xu closed his eyes obediently.
There was a click, the sound of the trunk opening.
Lin Xu suddenly became nervous and excited.
Zhou Yan covered his eyes with one hand, turned him towards the car, hugged him from behind and said, "You can open your eyes now."
