Chapter 139 Where is my express delivery?
Lin Xu found the opportunity at noon the next day. While Zhou Yan was cooking for the guests, he secretly went to the front desk to ask for his express delivery.
The receptionist clasped her hands together apologetically: "I'm sorry, when you called me that day, Boss Zhou was talking to me about something, and when he saw it was your number, he turned on the speakerphone, so -"
Lin Xu's eyes widened: "What?? Then you said he wasn't here!"
The receptionist was about to cry: "He told me to say it, you know, I can't argue with him..."
"Oh, then you're not afraid of offending me?"
"Boss Zhou is much scarier than you, and he just stood there and told me to talk. I—"
Lin Xu didn't know what to say.
He also knew that these waiters were usually more afraid of Zhou Yan.
In addition to the fact that Zhou Yan manages more B&Bs than he does, it is also because Zhou Yan is indeed much scarier than himself when he gets serious.
This matter cannot be blamed entirely on the front desk. Lin Xu closed his eyes and did not intend to pursue it.
"Forget it, so he took the package?"
The receptionist nodded.
Lin Xu took a deep breath: "I understand, you go ahead and get busy."
Lin Xu walked back with a somewhat desolate figure, which made the receptionist feel guilty.
After Zhou Yan finished his work and entertained the guests, he was stopped by the front desk.
"Um, Boss Zhou, Boss Lin just came to me and asked for a package..."
Zhou Yan nodded: "Well, you said everything?"
"Yes...this matter...this matter is your fault. Even if Boss Lin is angry, you should have let him go. You can't..."
Zhou Yan was amused when he heard this: "Can't what? Can't bully him?"
"Um."
"I guess I need to reflect on this. Do I look like someone who would bully him?"
"That's not the case..."
The front desk didn't know what to say.
They all knew that Zhou Yan was usually nice to Lin Xu, but they always felt that Zhou Yan had a strong desire to control Lin Xu. Lin Xu was a bit naive, so they naturally thought that Zhou Yan was the dominant one in this relationship.
Moreover, Zhou Yan was a few years older than Lin Xu and had great authority, so Lin Xu listened to him in almost everything.
In addition, no one knew what they bought this time, and they didn't dare to tell Zhou Yan, so they imagined Lin Xu like a bullied little wife.
Although the couple was willing to fight and be beaten, as bystanders, they felt a little pity for Lin Xu.
Zhou Yan was helpless, shook his head and left.
When he returned home and didn't see Lin Xu in the yard, he went into the house to look for her.
There was no one on the first floor, so Zhou Yan went up to the second floor.
Lin Xu was indeed there, sitting on the bed. He watched him go upstairs and kept watching him until he walked to the bed.
"Where's my delivery?" Lin Xu asked directly, arms folded.
Zhou Yan turned around, took out the box from the cabinet, and placed it on the bed: "It's here with me."
Lin Xu took a look. Eh? It seems like it hasn't been unboxed yet?
"You didn't see it?"
Zhou Yan sat next to him and confessed, "I didn't see it. I was just curious about what you bought and why you brought it back without telling me. But this is your privacy after all. Since you don't want me to know, there must be a reason. I respect that."
Lin Xu pursed his lips. He had originally planned to settle the score with Zhou Yan, but he didn't touch the express delivery, and his anger was instantly extinguished.
"It's not that I don't want you to know, it's just that, it's a little bit..." Lin Xu couldn't put it into words. Just thinking about what was inside made his ears feel hot.
Zhou Yan originally guessed that the things in here would be useful to them. Now that he saw his ears visibly turning red, he became even more certain of his guess.
He pulled Lin Xu into his arms: "I was wrong, you wanted to give me a surprise, right? But I messed it up."
Lin Xu muttered softly, "You're always quick to admit your mistakes, and then you don't dare to do it again next time."
"Isn't that because you spoiled him?" Zhou Yan asked with a smile.
"That's because you're thick-skinned."
Zhou Yan did not deny this statement. How could he have a wife without being thick-skinned?
He pinched Lin Xu's face: "Then do you want to tell me what you bought secretly? Or should I put it back in the cabinet and wait for you to surprise me?"
"Now that you've discovered everything, what other surprises are there? Let's see."
"So I really watched it?" Zhou Yan teased him deliberately.
Lin Xu took the box over, took out a pair of scissors from the bedside, and opened the box.
"Cough cough cough cough--" Zhou Yan choked when he saw what was inside.
He thought Lin Xu must have bought something extraordinary, but he didn't expect it to be so extraordinary.
He took out the things one by one and placed them on the bed, unable to take his eyes off them.
The various images in his mind had already caused a computer freeze for a man whose left and right brains could normally work simultaneously.
"Look, look." Lin Xu took the risk.
Zhou Yan pulled him into his arms, holding him tightly and kissing him hard on the face: "Baby, you are such a big treasure."
"Laugh if you want to. It's nothing." Lin Xu mentally prepared himself.
When it comes to open-mindedness in this regard, he is really far behind the straight man Zhou Yan.
"You finally got it." Zhou Yan rubbed his head with relief. "It's nothing. Don't feel embarrassed. We are together because of love, and it's because of love that we want to be closer to each other."
Lin Xu is easily shy, so Zhou Yan certainly likes his genuine reactions.
But occasionally Lin Xu takes the initiative, which is another surprise.
Developing the different sides of Lin Xu is his current pleasure.
Lin Xu was also inspired by Chen Jinhe.
He knew that Zhou Yan liked to do fancy things, but he felt shy and kept ignoring Zhou Yan's needs.
In comparison, Lao Wang's life was much more comfortable than Zhou Yan's. Lin Xu suddenly felt a little sorry for Zhou Yan, so he gritted his teeth and bought such a big box.
"Do you like it?" Lin Xu asked.
"I prefer that you put in the effort for me." Zhou Yan kissed his ear. "If I had known, I would have opened it yesterday."
Lin Xu dodged for a moment, feeling itchy. "Well, so now you can only feast your eyes."
The two of them consumed too much energy yesterday, so he needs to rest for a few days. Zhou Yan can only watch these days.
Thinking of this, Lin Xu was secretly happy. This could be considered as a punishment for him secretly intercepting his express delivery.
Zhou Yan sighed. Isn't he asking for trouble?
If you can only look but not touch, it’s better not to look at it.
Zhou Yan was in charge of packing up. Lin Xu lay on the bed and watched him humming happily. He felt sweeter than eating candy.
In the evening, Zhou Yan and Lin Xu entertained guests at the B&B.
The receptionist was originally worried that they were arguing, but when she saw the two of them coming together, both smiling, she realized that she was overthinking it.
Moreover, the closeness between the two of them seemed even more obvious than when Lin Xu just came back yesterday.
"Boss, all the decorations need to be changed with the season. Should we use the old ones or buy new ones?" The housekeeping staff came over and asked Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan raised his chin towards Lin Xu and said, "Ask your boss Lin. He's responsible for paying."
Lin Xu thought for a moment and said, "Let's change to something new. This year's fashion elements are quite different from last year's."
"OK."
The kitchen also came to ask: "Boss, what do you think of the menu adjustment plan?"
Zhou Yan looked at Lin Xu and said, "Ask your boss Lin."
Lin Xu said, "Let me take a look and discuss it with you tonight."
"OK."
After everyone left, Lin Xu was curious: "Why are you asking me everything today?"
