Chapter 38 I have no motivation to cook alone
"It has the best character. It's cold-resistant and drought-resistant. As long as it has roots in the soil, it can come back to life."
"And the smell of its leaves is pleasant, which makes people feel good."
After listening to Lin Xu's introduction, Zhou Yan suddenly asked, "Like you?"
"Huh? What do you mean like me?"
"Seeing you makes people feel good."
Lin Xu paused and asked, "So, are you in a better mood after seeing me?"
Zhou Yan admitted frankly: "Yeah, I'm really not used to you not being home for two days."
In the past, Lin Xu would have regarded Zhou Yan's words as casual remarks, and would not have dared to think too much or respond.
But today, maybe it was because of the screen, or maybe it was because of what happened to Mr. Feng that I was a little stimulated.
Lin Xu took a deep breath and said, "You're not used to me just two days after I left. What will you do if I get a girlfriend and move out?"
Zhou Yan was silent for a few seconds.
Lin Xu was already nervous after asking the question and was prepared for Zhou Yan to tease him, but Zhou Yan's silence was beyond his expectations. Lin Xu waited for his answer even more nervously.
Lin Xu couldn't see Zhou Yan from his angle, so he didn't know that Zhou Yan frowned during the few seconds of silence.
Yes, it’s only been two days and Zhou Yan missed him a little. If Lin Xu moves out in the future, he will need some time to adapt.
This thought made Zhou Yan very upset.
The good mood I was in while video chatting with Lin Xu suddenly became a little gloomy.
Finally, Zhou Yan asked, "Didn't you say you didn't plan to get married?"
"Well, then you can still be in love without getting married."
"Do you have someone you like?"
Lin Xu couldn't see Zhou Yan's expression, but he always felt that Zhou Yan's tone was a bit cold.
"Yeah." Lin Xu nodded.
"Do you have someone you like? Who is it? Your ex-girlfriend or a colleague at the company? Or someone you met by chance over there?" Zhou Yan didn't realize that he was asking a series of questions.
"Neither." Lin Xu muttered softly.
Zhou Yan suddenly became a little nervous and blurted out without thinking: "Could it be your President Han?"
"What?" Lin Xu was so scared that he almost threw his phone away.
Why did Zhou Yan guess that it was Han Jingyi? Did he notice his sexual orientation?
Seeing Lin Xu’s big reaction, it shouldn’t be Han Jingyi. Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Jingyi is gay, but Lin Xu is not. How could he ask that? Zhou Yan apologized for his gaffe.
"It's okay, I was just talking nonsense, I'm sorry."
Then there was a minute-long silence between the two.
Zhou Yan didn't understand why he cared so much about this matter. It was actually only a matter of time before he and Lin Xu separated, and he knew it very well.
But when he thought about Lin Xu just passing through and disappearing from his life, he felt like he couldn't breathe.
Lin Xu remained silent because he didn't know whether Zhou Yan had guessed his secret through Han Jingyi.
In the end, it was Lin Xu who spoke first.
He couldn't stand the cold war with Zhou Yan.
"Brother, what are you going to eat for dinner?" Lin Xu asked cautiously.
Zhou Yan came back to his senses and calmed down: "Order takeout, do you have any recommendations?"
"Why are you eating takeout?" Lin Xu remembered that Zhou Yan said he didn't like takeout.
"I don't have the motivation to cook alone, so I'll just make one bite. I'll make something delicious when you come back."
Zhou Yan has this ability. One sentence can make Lin Xu's heart fall to the bottom, and another sentence can make Lin Xu happy immediately.
"Okay, can I order food then?"
Zhou Yan glanced at the co-pilot's phone and adjusted the angle so that he could see Lin Xu's face.
Seeing him smiling, I couldn't help but curl up the corners of my mouth: "Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"Can you do everything?"
"I'll make a menu when I have time. I'll list all the dishes I can cook. You can order whatever you want from now on."
The two of them discussed dinner, and their previous little thoughts disappeared.
Lin Xu chatted with Zhou Yan all the way to the community parking lot before hanging up the phone and asking Zhou Yan to order something to eat.
He was also a little hungry, so he changed his clothes and went out to eat.
The next day, Han Jingyi prepared the contract and went to see Mr. Feng with Lin Xu.
"Didn't Rongrong come today?" Lin Xu asked when he saw Mr. Feng sitting alone in the yard.
He played with Rongrong for a while yesterday and really liked this little girl. She was a little princess who grew up being pampered, naughty and cute.
Mr. Feng shook his head. "He went to the kindergarten. Did you bring the contract? This is my attorney. Just show him the contract and discuss the details with him. I've authorized him."
The lawyer stepped forward and gestured for an invitation: "Then we'll go this way."
Han Jingyi followed him into the house.
Lin Xu was only responsible for the design, and the contract was not his responsibility, so he did not go in, but sat down next to Mr. Feng.
Lin Xu actually had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Mr. Feng, but he felt it was too presumptuous, so he hesitated and couldn't open his mouth.
Mr. Feng laughed: "You're hesitating, do you have something to say?"
Lin Xu scratched his head: "I'm afraid you'll be angry."
"Ask."
Lin Xu considered his words carefully and asked, "Actually, I want to ask you, is it because of Rongrong's grandfather that you haven't gotten married yet?"
Lin Xu's question seemed to be within Feng Lao's expectations. He was not surprised, but smiled at Lin Xu: "You really saw it."
After hearing what Mr. Feng said, Lin Xu no longer needed to ask any more questions.
Lin Xu felt even more upset when his guess was confirmed.
"You have someone you like, right? So, does my story scare you?"
Mr. Feng is indeed a shrewd man, he sees through Lin Xu.
Lin Xu didn't hide it: "Yes. So I really want to ask you, if you feel it's presumptuous, you don't have to answer. Have you ever tried to fight for it before?"
Mr. Feng looked into the distance, as if he was lost in a deep pool of memories.
"No. If you know it's impossible, why expose it? You'll lose the chance to be friends."
"But don't you feel sorry for living alone your whole life?"
"That depends on what your expectations are. I don't have such high expectations. As long as he is well and we can see each other occasionally, that's good enough. If your expectation is that the two of you can be together and you can accept the consequences of never seeing each other again, then you can go for it."
"Then Grandpa Rongrong—does he know?"
Mr. Feng smiled bitterly. "I don't know if he knows. Probably not. But this is my own business and has nothing to do with him."
Lin Xu was extremely distressed.
He used to think that he had the same idea as Mr. Feng. As long as Zhou Yan lived well, he would be his roommate as his younger brother, and they might even become friends in the future.
But now, as Zhou Yan treats him better and better, Lin Xu's greed is growing.
"He's so good to me. Sometimes I can't help but be full of hope, and then I deny myself. I'm almost schizophrenic." Lin Xu said dejectedly.
Mr. Feng leaned back in his chair and laughed, "Hahahaha, I get it. Straight men don't hold back. Otherwise, why can't I get over it?"
