Chapter 17 He Likes Men
"Strange behavior? No, why are you asking?" Lin Xu didn't understand what Zhou Yan meant.
Zhou Yan hesitated to speak.
Zhou Yan didn't know if he was overthinking it.
The way Han Jingyi looked at Lin Xu just now didn't look like he was looking at a new employee at all.
And at noon, that obvious hostility...
Lin Xu didn't think about it at all, nor did he pay attention to it at all.
I was still thinking about teasing Zhou Yan: "You are quite popular. Did you notice the girl who had lunch with us at noon? She heard that I live with you and asked me about you."
"So what do you say?"
"I didn't say anything. That's your privacy. How can I tell others casually? Right?"
Zhou Yan smiled and rubbed Lin Xu's head. "Yes, you did the right thing. Thank you for protecting my privacy."
"hey-hey."
Zhou Yan coughed and advised with some concern: "Apart from work matters, don't get too close to Han Jingyi."
"Why?" Lin Xu blinked and asked, "Do you two have any grudges?"
"No."
"Why is that?"
"He-he likes men." Zhou Yan held it in for a long time before finally giving the reason.
"Huh?" Lin Xu was stunned.
"Yeah, that's why I told you not to get too close to him. If he does anything to harass you, come back and tell me so you don't get bullied by him."
Zhou Yan did not discriminate against this group, but was psychologically traumatized by the harassment from the previous tenant and was afraid that Lin Xu would encounter the same thing.
He is tall and strong, and he can suppress that kind of pervert if he encounters one. Lin Xu is afraid that he will suffer a loss.
"Ah...Oh, I understand." Lin Xu lowered his head.
When it comes to this topic, Lin Xu feels a little guilty.
I don’t know how to face Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan was sincere in his concern and care for me, but I had been deceiving him.
Lin Xu felt sorry for Zhou Yan's trust.
But if she told him the truth, she would definitely have to move out of his house, and Lin Xu didn't want to move out.
Zhou Yan saw that Lin Xu suddenly wilted and thought that he was scared by his words.
While waiting for the red light, he reached into the back seat, took something out of the shopping bag and handed it to Lin Xu.
"I just saw this by chance while shopping at the mall. I'm giving it to you."
Lin Xu paused as he looked at the bag of colorful cartoon clips in his hand.
Tentatively asked: "Brother Zhou, do you think it's appropriate for me to wear this? Isn't it weird?"
"It's not strange. I think it suits you very well. Last time I saw you clipping up your bangs because they were getting in the way. It looked really nice. I thought of you when I saw these clips when I passed by."
Lin Xu held the bag in his hand and thanked Zhou Yan: "Thank you, brother."
The evening rush hour was long gone, and their journey home was smooth.
When Zhou Yan got home, he changed his clothes and went to the kitchen to cook. Lin Xu went back to his room clutching the bag of hairpins.
It’s not that he really likes this kind of accessories. After all, he is a boy and doesn’t dress up normally.
I use clips to clip the fringe up to make the work easier, and I bought the cute clips as well.
Unexpectedly, this little habit was also noticed by Zhou Yan.
This type of clip does not come in a set, it is optional.
Lin Xu's mind flashed with the scene of Zhou Yan picking out clips for him one by one in the jewelry store, and he couldn't help but smile with joy.
He knew that Zhou Yan's kindness to him was without any emotional connection, but he was still moved by Zhou Yan's sincerity.
Lin Xu put all the small clips into the box, picked out a fried egg-shaped one, put it on his head, and walked out.
Since Zhou Yan didn't need his help in cooking, Lin Xu took the initiative to bring the dishes to the table.
When he walked to Zhou Yan's side, Zhou Yan looked at the clip on his head and smiled: "It looks good, it suits you very well."
Lin Xu was a little embarrassed: "I think it looks pretty good too."
After spending these days together, the two have developed some tacit understanding and their cohabitation life is very harmonious.
The next day, Lin Xu still took Zhou Yan's car to work.
While waiting for the elevator, someone patted Lin Xu on the shoulder.
"Hi, good morning." Teng Qiu's voice sounded from behind.
Lin Xu turned around and greeted her: "Good morning."
Teng Qiu looked up at Zhou Yan, suppressed his excitement and said, "Mr. Zhou, good morning."
She is simply a genius. As expected, she was able to wait for Lin Xu and Zhou Yan here in the morning, and even said hello to Zhou Yan through Lin Xu.
Zhou Yan remembered seeing this girl yesterday at noon. She should be the colleague that Lin Xu wanted to inquire about.
Zhou Yan nodded slightly: "Good morning."
Teng Qiu couldn't help but scream when she received a good morning greeting.
After getting on the elevator, Zhou Yan asked Lin Xu to stand against the car, and he stood in front of him, like a wall blocking the crowd of others.
"I have to have dinner with a client tonight, you have to go back by yourself." Zhou Yan said to Lin Xu with his eyes lowered.
"Yeah, okay."
"Don't eat takeout or instant noodles. Take the dumplings out of the refrigerator and cook them yourself. Can you do it?"
Ever since Lin Xu was admitted to the hospital due to heatstroke, Zhou Yan has doubted Lin Xu's ability to survive.
"Don't worry, I don't even know how to use my phone to search, I'm sure I can cook it."
The elevator reached the sixteenth floor.
"Then I'm leaving. Text me if you need anything."
"Okay, bye~" Lin Xu waved to Zhou Yan who walked out of the elevator.
Teng Qiu was stunned. He hesitated to speak and didn't say anything until he got to the company.
"No, what's with the déjà vu feeling you two have as newlyweds?"
Lin Xu almost spilled the glass of water he had just received, and hurriedly covered up his blushing face: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
Teng Qiu puffed out his cheeks. "Really? I've known Mr. Zhou for a year now, and I often find excuses to bump into him in the elevator. Although I haven't had the chance to say hello to him, I've been observing him. He's never been this gentle and considerate to anyone."
"And last night, it would have been fine for you two to leave together after get off work, but you worked overtime yesterday, and he came to pick you up. Don't you think that's a little off?"
Lin Xu was helpless. He finally knew where the rumors came from.
"No, he happened to be at the mall shopping yesterday, and he finished shopping when we got off work."
"Tsk, so 'just right'? Why don't you see him just right with someone else? And the way he looks at you, he looks worried and concerned."
"You make it sound like he's difficult to get along with. He doesn't look like a mean person."
Although Lin Xu didn't know what Zhou Yan was like in front of others, that was his nature, and it was impossible for him to be too mean to others.
"Well... not that he's mean, but he feels very cold. You know he had a girlfriend before, right?"
When Lin Xu heard this, he became excited: "Have you seen it?"
"Not really, but one time in the stairwell, I overheard him talking to his girlfriend on the phone. They were probably arguing, and although he was trying to comfort her, his tone was a bit stiff, not sweet at all. If my boyfriend used that tone to comfort me during an argument, I would definitely cry even harder."
Teng Qiu said so much, but Lin Xu only heard two words - "coaxing".
What does Zhou Yan look like when he coaxes people?
Sometimes he deliberately makes a joke and then apologizes. Does that count as trying to appease himself?
Should it count?
No, what on earth was he thinking? Why was he comparing her to Zhou Yan's ex-girlfriend?
That's their way of getting along. I'm just his friend, so it's definitely different.
Lin Xu quickly shook off the messy thoughts in his mind.
"Boss Han said we need to produce renderings today. I don't want to work overtime anymore. Let's get to work."
