Chapter 21: Let’s sleep separately, why are you blushing?
Zhou Yan mentioned his "girlfriend" in his accusation, so Lin Xu felt that he must not have said anything too outrageous.
Moreover, Zhou Yan's attitude was mostly teasing, not disgusting.
Fortunately, he did not say or do anything immoral after drinking.
After dispelling his concerns in this regard, Lin Xu imagined how Zhou Yan must have felt helpless after being tortured by him last night.
By the way, I carefully recalled the feeling of security I felt when Zhou Yan held me in his arms that morning.
A hint of sweetness quietly spread in my heart.
"I'm sorry to trouble you again." Lin Xu scratched his head.
"It's okay. If you can vent the grievances in your heart, you won't be so sad."
"I'm not sad, just a little angry." Lin Xu was still angry when he said it.
Zhou Yan smiled. "Fortunately, you've started over now. You've joined the company you love and are doing what you love. To be honest, I admire you. You can live so energetically every day despite feeling so wronged."
"Powerful?" It was the first time Lin Xu heard this description.
"Well, seeing you living so happily every day makes the people around you happy too."
Lin Xu blinked and looked at Zhou Yan and asked, "Are you happy?"
Zhou Yan nodded seriously: "Well, I'm very happy to be with you."
Zhou Yan's words made Lin Xu's heart pound in his chest.
He was also happy these days with Zhou Yan.
If Zhou Yan wasn't straight, Lin Xu would definitely be happy about this sentence and take the initiative.
But he said that these were all sincere and without any emotional color.
Lin Xu struggled repeatedly between the emotions of joy and loss.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Yan saw that Lin Xu's expression was unpredictable and his face was a little red, so he raised his hand to touch Lin Xu's forehead.
"Ouch!" Lin Xu suddenly screamed, stood up and rushed to the bathroom.
Zhou Yan watched this funny guy run out, smiled and shook his head.
After Lin Xu finished running the water, Zhou Yan took some clean clothes and went in to take a shower.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu cleaned up the empty wine bottles scattered around the living room.
After Zhou Yan got dressed and came out, he saw that the living room was clean and tidy, and he felt warm in his heart.
He only criticized Lin Xu once for hygiene issues, and from then on Lin Xu would take the initiative to clean up.
He witnessed Lin Xu's changes with his own eyes, including Lin Xu's career, which he watched grow from the bottom to where it is now.
But even when Lin Xu was in the most difficult times, he could still maintain that simple and clean smile.
Within his frail body lies a powerful spiritual core.
It is the vitality that makes everything around you come alive.
"Brother, this is for you." Lin Xu picked up a pot of green plants from the balcony and handed it to Zhou Yan. "Put it on your desk. It will help you relax after a busy day."
Zhou Yan said that he was very happy to be with him, and Lin Xu hoped that Zhou Yan would also be happy when he saw this pot of plants.
How much Lin Xu treasures these plants can be seen from the way he takes care of them.
Zhou Yan happily accepted it as a gift to himself.
The flowerpot is bright yellow, and the leaves of the green plants are round, thick, and tender green, which is very cute.
"Thank you, but won't I kill you?"
Lin Xu smiled, revealing his white teeth, and said, "I picked a pot that's easy to grow. I'll water it once a week and it won't die."
Zhou Yan held the pot of flowers and smiled: "Okay, thanks."
Before leaving, Zhou Yan took a bag of ice from the refrigerator and gave it to Lin Xu.
Let him apply it to his eyes to reduce swelling on the way.
But last night, Lin Xu not only cried, but also drank too much. His big eyes were swollen almost into slits, and he spoke with a nasal tone, looking pitiful.
Teng Qiu was startled when he saw Lin Xu: "Why are you crying? What happened?"
Lin Xu could only say, "I drank alcohol last night and got edema."
Of course, Teng Qiu wouldn't believe it. How much did he drink? And edema wouldn't make his voice so nasal.
But since Lin Xu said so, she didn't want to ask any more questions.
"By the way, you took Mr. Han to the hospital yesterday. How is he?"
Lin Xu simply replied, "It's just heatstroke, nothing serious. I'll go home as soon as he wakes up."
"Oh, I'm glad you're okay. Hey? Isn't that Mr. Zhou? Why are you here? Looking for you?" Teng Qiu suddenly looked behind Lin Xu and said excitedly.
Lin Xu quickly turned around and saw that it was indeed Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan walked straight to the design department. When he saw Lin Xu turning around, he waved to him.
Lin Xu stood up and went over: "What's wrong?"
"This is for you." Zhou Yan stuffed a cup of hot milk and a sandwich into Lin Xu's hand. "You drank too much last night and didn't eat breakfast. Eating this will make you feel better."
"You... came here specially to bring this to me?" Lin Xu asked with his head down, holding the breakfast.
"Of course, go back quickly, I have something to go out for, I should be back before get off work."
"Well, let's contact each other before we get off work."
"good."
After Zhou Yan finished his instructions and turned to leave, Lin Xu suddenly thought of something and pulled his clothes to stop him.
"What else?"
"Well...it's very hot outside. Be careful not to get heatstroke."
Zhou Yan nodded and said with a smile, "I see. Thank you."
Han Jingyi, who came to work, happened to see this scene when he got out of the elevator. He was so angry that he almost felt dizzy.
After passing by Zhou Yan, the two looked at each other. Zhou Yan nodded expressionlessly and got on the elevator.
Han Jingyi gnashed his teeth as he looked at Lin Xu and said, "I'm the one who got hospitalized for heatstroke, right? You left your boss alone in the hospital without doing anything about it, and now you're worried about whether your brother Zhou got heatstroke?"
Lin Xu's sunny face when he saw Zhou Yan just now instantly faded after seeing Han Jingyi. He turned around and left with his breakfast: "Aren't you okay?"
Han Jingyi took a deep breath, and before he could say anything, he was surrounded by colleagues who came over to express their condolences.
Lin Xu took breakfast back to his workstation and ate while working.
After greeting Mr. Han, Teng Qiu sat next to Lin Xu.
"This breakfast, personally delivered by President Zhou, is incredibly delicious, isn't it?"
Lin Xu tapped the keyboard with one hand and replied, "Mm, delicious."
"Oh my, this guy is so annoying. I've been squatting for so long and Mr. Zhou hasn't even looked at me. And you, a man, have only slept with him for a few days, and you've already had a loving breakfast."
Lin Xu almost choked on a mouthful of milk: "Ahem, big sister, what do you mean by sleeping with him for a few days? We have two rooms, each sleeping in our own——"
Lin Xu originally spoke with confidence, but when he thought about the situation when they slept together this morning, he felt a little guilty.
Teng Qiu keenly sensed his guilty conscience.
"Eh? Aren't we supposed to sleep separately? Why are you blushing?"
"I didn't, we just slept separately. He saw that I drank too much last night and was worried that I would have a stomachache if I didn't eat in the morning, so he brought me breakfast. I told you, he's a very good person."
Lin Xu tried his best to hide his panic.
"Tsk tsk," Teng Qiu shook his head, "It's not simple, there's definitely something wrong with you two."
"We just have a good relationship, that's all. Stop overthinking it and get back to work."
"No matter what, it's hopeless for me to pursue Zhou Yan. I'm going to switch to being a CP fan of you two. Eating some sugar every day is good for your physical and mental health."
Lin Xu's eyes widened. "Stop it, what CP fans? Zhou Yan—Zhou Yan and I are both straight men."
Teng Qiu smiled mysteriously: "You don't understand, straight men are the easiest to get. Gay people are all very cautious, only straight men are not too heavy-handed."
Lin Xu took a big bite of the sandwich and worked while chewing to cover up his guilty conscience.
He had to admit that Teng Qiu's words were really insightful. Where did he come up with that?
These little girls are so scary.
