Chapter 16 We Live Together
"How did you get to know Zhou Yan? What's your relationship?" Han Jingyi interrogated Lin Xu when going upstairs.
"We live together." Lin Xu admitted frankly.
"Oh my God, what did I hear?!" Teng Qiu had a look of astonishment on his face.
Han Jingyi's face turned dark.
Lin Xu then remembered what Yu Jing had done in front of Han Jingyi during the interview yesterday.
Han Jingyi knew his own sexual orientation and was afraid that it was a misunderstanding.
Lin Xu quickly explained, "Brother Zhou is my landlord. I rented a side bedroom in his house. We live together so we're quite familiar with each other. And Brother Zhou is a very nice person. He takes care of me like a younger brother."
After listening to Lin Xu's explanation, Han Jingyi's expression did not improve much.
"Hmm? Zhou Yan doesn't look like the type who would share a house with others. He's not short of money." Teng Qiu muttered in a low voice.
"Yeah, Lin Xu, you're not lying to us, are you?"
"Why would I lie to you? I'm the real landlord. If you don't believe me, I'll show you the rental agreement. I was in a hurry to find a house, so the agent brought me here."
After Lin Xu said this, everyone had no choice but to believe it even though they thought it was unreasonable.
"Then tell me, what is Zhou Yan like at home?" Teng Qiu gossiped excitedly.
"He--" Lin Xu swallowed the words back.
What is Zhou Yan like at home and why should he tell others?
This is Zhou Yan's privacy, and——
Compared with Zhou Yan's maturity and stability in front of others, his relaxation and gentleness at home are probably something these people have never seen.
Lin Xu suddenly didn't want to tell others about the side of Zhou Yan that belonged only to him.
"How can I say this? It's someone else's privacy."
"Oh - okay Lin Xu, just tell me~" Teng Qiu acted in a coquettish manner.
Lin Xu remained unmoved and shook his head firmly: "No."
Teng Qiu was deflated, Lin Xu was laughing secretly, and Han Jingyi looked at Lin Xu's expression thoughtfully.
Teng Qiu didn't ask about the gossip, but at least he was sure of one thing: Zhou Yan is currently single. Otherwise, who would find a tenant when he already has a girlfriend?
It's a bit of a gain.
"From what you said, Zhou Yan treats you quite well. So he must not be as serious in real life as he is at work." Teng Qiu bit the pen while analyzing Zhou Yan.
Lin Xu reminded her while working: "Don't think about Brother Zhou for now, think about how we can finish the work on time."
"Oh! Right, right, right!" Teng Qiu came back to his senses and buried himself in the design drawings.
Worried about not being able to get off work on time, Lin Xu worked very quickly, trying to do as much work as possible to avoid having to work overtime.
But before leaving get off work, Han Jingyi suddenly informed him and Teng Qiu that they must finish the floor plan today and produce the real scene effect tomorrow.
Lin Xu sighed, replied [Received], and sent a message to Zhou Yan dejectedly.
[Brother, I can't get off work on time today. I have to work overtime. You should go back first.]
Soon, Zhou Yan's message came back.
[Working overtime on your first day at work? ]
Lin Xu: [Yes, there was a job that was urgent, so I took it over right away.]
Zhou Yan: [Will it take a long time?]
Lin Xu checked the time: [It would take me two hours to do this.]
Zhou Yan: [Then you go ahead and do it. I'm going to go shopping and go to the mall. When you're done, send me a message and I'll come over and take you back.]
Lin Xu: [Okay!]
Putting down his phone, Lin Xu transformed into a tentacle monster.
Teng Qiu has been bearing the pressure alone these days, but now he has a reliable teammate and doesn't complain so much about working overtime.
Han Jingyi walked over to the two people with two cups of coffee and some food.
"Thank you for your hard work. Once this order is completed, I will give you two extra bonuses regardless of the outcome."
Lin Xu had no time to eat at all, so he left Han Jingyi there and concentrated on drawing.
Speed is necessary, but errors must also be avoided.
Lin Xu has his own principles and standards in design.
Han Jingyi raised his hand and waved it in front of Lin Xu's eyes: "Take a break. I ordered dinner for you."
Lin Xu waved away the hand that was in the way and said, "I'm almost done. Don't bother me."
"It's only 7:30, and you're already done? Lin Xu, don't fool me. If there's any problem, you have to redo it."
Lin Xu snorted softly: "If there is any problem, I won't go back today."
Teng Qiu sat next to Lin Xu, helping him keep an eye on him, and said, "Boss Han, just let him do his job properly. There really is nothing wrong."
Han Jingyi didn't leave either. He stood behind Lin Xu with his arms folded, watching him paint.
In less than half an hour, Lin Xu finished the floor plan.
"Okay, Mr. Han. I'll send it to your email, please take a look." Lin Xu rubbed his numb fingers.
After being idle for too long, he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden high-intensity operation and his wrists ached.
But he regained some of the feeling he had back then, and instead of feeling tired, he became excited.
Han Jingyi suddenly bent down, supported the back of Lin Xu's chair with one hand, and looked directly at Lin Xu's screen with the mouse.
Lin Xu quickly stood up and stood next to the chair to make room for Han Jingyi to have a good look.
Han Jingyi looked at him deeply and then turned his gaze to the screen.
Although this is not the most perfect design, it is definitely the best design Han Jingyi has seen recently.
Impeccable.
"That's amazing! It seems like I, the horse breeder, have found a good horse."
"As long as you are satisfied, I'm going home." Lin Xu cleaned up the desk and prepared to send a message to Zhou Yan to go home together.
"Wait a minute, let's go together, I'll drive you back." Han Jingyi suggested.
"No need, I can go back by myself." Lin Xu refused.
Teng Qiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Han!"
Lin Xu didn't wait for them and rushed into the elevator alone with a computer bag.
Zhou Yan received Lin Xu's text message and was driving towards this side. Lin Xu was waiting for him on the side of the road.
Han Jingyi drove Teng Qiu out of the parking lot and deliberately walked around here to see if Lin Xu had left.
When he found Lin Xu still on the side of the road, he drove over and wanted him to get in.
Han Jingyi thought that Lin Xu was not familiar with him yet, so he was embarrassed to bother him to send him off.
But when he got out of the car, Lin Xu suddenly trotted across the street.
There was a car parked across the street.
Zhou Yan got out of the driver's seat and said something to Lin Xu face to face. Then Lin Xu got in the car and Zhou Yan glanced at him.
Han Jingyi did not show any weakness either, he raised his chin and looked straight at Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan frowned and got back into the driver's seat.
Lin Xu then saw Han Jingyi: "Hey, isn't that our President Han?"
"Hmm." Zhou Yan snorted, honked the horn, crossed Han Jingyi's car, and drove in the opposite direction.
"Brother, have you had dinner? Where did you go just now?" Lin Xu asked.
"No, I just went shopping in the nearby mall and stopped by the supermarket. You haven't eaten either, have you? I'll cook when we get home."
Lin Xu felt a little distressed: "It's so late, why don't you stop working? You've been working hard all day - I'll treat you to dinner."
"It's okay. I don't like eating out. I'm tired of socializing all day. It would be a waste if I cooked too much. It's just right to have you here. Just think of it as accompanying me for dinner. I have to thank you."
After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, looked ahead and asked, "That Han Jingyi—did he do anything strange to you?"
