Chapter 40 Thank you for taking good care of us
In order to become a straight man, Lin Xu drank Chinese medicine and imitated Zhou Yan in wearing an old man's vest, but in the end nothing changed.
Lin Xu was not going to pretend anymore. He wanted to pursue Zhou Yan, so he had to pay attention to his appearance.
Even if you can't dress too flamboyantly, you can't dress so plainly either.
Lin Xu put away all the black, white, gray clothes and the old man’s vest that he had found.
After taking a shower, he changed into a set of dragon fruit colored sleeveless pajamas and pinned up his hair on his forehead with the small hairpin Zhou Yan gave him.
The pink color that made the skin look brighter, coupled with the strawberry scent on his body, made Zhou Yan feel like a large piece of fruit candy was standing next to him when he stood next to him.
"Party A gave us tea grown in our own tea garden. I don't usually drink tea, so I'll give it to you. You can drink it yourself or give it to someone else. I heard it's pretty good." Lin Xu handed the tea given by Mr. Feng to Zhou Yan.
Tea is a common medium for daily social interactions. Although Zhou Yan is not an expert, he can distinguish between good and bad teas and can tell that it is a good thing just by smelling it.
"Thank you. I can't bear to give away such good tea." Zhou Yan said and smiled at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
He really didn't want Zhou Yan to give anyone away.
"Is your work going well during these days of your business trip?"
Mentioning this, Lin Xu perked up: "Yeah, it went pretty smoothly. Party A signed the contract with us without even looking at the renderings. Hehe, I'm awesome, right?"
Zhou Yan was also a little surprised: "That's impressive, it shows that the other party trusts you quite a bit."
"Well, that old gentleman and I really get along well, and I won't let him down." When Lin Xu was full of confidence, his whole body was glowing.
Zhou Yan looked Lin Xu up and down with a smile: "Why do you change your style so often?"
He still remembered that when he first moved in, Lin Xu had a white pajamas, which was clean and had a cute cartoon lamb pattern.
I don’t know what happened later, but I started wearing a vest and shorts every day, and black, white and gray became the main colors. Before leaving, I had a bit of an immortal look.
After coming back from this business trip, my style has changed again.
But he secretly thought that Lin Xu looked very good today.
He has good skin and looks young, so he is suitable to wear more bright-colored clothes.
Lin Xu looked down at himself and asked, "Does this look good on me?"
Zhou Yan nodded without hesitation: "It looks good."
Lin Xu raised his face and smiled: "As long as you think it looks good."
Zhou Yan chuckled: "My opinion is so important to you? Go get the dishes and chopsticks, it will be ready soon."
The soft noodles are soaked in the clear soup, garnished with green chopped green onions, which is full of fragrance.
Lin Xu narrowed his eyes, blew on the food, and started eating.
"If you do a food broadcast, you will probably become famous too." Zhou Yan suddenly said.
"ah?"
"You seem to have a strong appetite. How do you say it? Something good for dinner?"
"Tsk, can anyone see me eating?"
Lin Xu took a mouthful of noodles with a proud look on his face, and the soup splashed on his face.
Lin Xu's lively expression made Zhou Yan laugh uncontrollably. He pulled out a piece of paper and said, "Okay, I'm lucky."
Zhou Yan handed the paper over, thinking Lin Xu would take it.
Lin Xu stretched his face forward and said, "I can't see it myself."
Zhou Yan smiled and helped him wipe the soup off his face with a doting look.
"You look very capable when you're working, full of confidence and able to handle things on your own. But in private, you're like a child and need someone to take care of you." Zhou Yan put the tissue aside and concluded.
Lin Xu blinked his big eyes and curved them up: "Do you find it annoying? Taking care of me like this."
"Not only do you need someone to take care of you, but you're also a heartless little thing. If I felt annoyed, would I still care about your flowers and plants?" Zhou Yan asked back.
Lin Xu got serious: "Then just say it directly, are you annoying?"
"No bother—" Zhou Yan gave Lin Xu the answer he wanted with a doting yet helpless tone.
Lin Xu chuckled and continued eating noodles.
Zhou Yan is a straight man after all, and he doesn't have any extra thoughts about himself at the moment. Knowing when to stop will not make him feel uncomfortable.
Lin Xu already felt happy enough tonight, so he didn't continue to test or tease her.
After clearing the dishes, it was already past one o'clock. Lin Xu and Zhou Yan stood in front of the bathroom sink brushing their teeth together.
Then they said good night to each other and went to bed.
Before going to sleep, Lin Xu went to the balcony to take another look, and said to himself with a smile: "He is so good to you, you must not let him down."
Lin Xu squatted in front of the flower stand, took a photo with the green plants, and posted it on WeChat Moments.
The caption reads: [Thank you for taking such good care of us. ]
The decision to pursue Zhou Yan was made too suddenly, and Lin Xu himself did not have a complete implementation plan.
In fact, he had no experience in pursuing people, let alone straight men.
Now, he could only try to get closer to Zhou Yan based on his attitude towards him.
What he was sure of was that Zhou Yan did not mind their physical contact, was willing to take care of him, and seemed to enjoy the process of taking care of others.
Then he would be someone who needed Zhou Yan's care and give him space to develop.
Both of them went to bed too late and didn't get enough sleep when the alarm rang the next day.
Lin Xu yawned and squeezed toothpaste beside Zhou Yan, then leaned his head on Zhou Yan's shoulder.
"I'm so sleepy... It's so sad to be a slave. I have to come back late at night from a business trip and still be on time for work the next day." Lin Xu said vaguely, holding a toothbrush in his mouth.
Zhou Yan looked at him in the mirror.
He is obviously not short, but he has a small frame and looks tiny when leaning on me.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but find it amusing. Why was this kid so clingy after returning from a business trip?
"When you become famous in the future, you can open your own studio and become a boss, then you will be free." Zhou Yan said while shaving.
"Come on, seeing Han Jingyi busy and nagging about 800 calls a day during this business trip, I know how troublesome it is to be a boss. I'm not cut out for that. I'm only suited to doing honest design."
Lin Xu straightened up, and one side of his hair was flattened by Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan raised his hand and smoothed it over a few times, making it fluffy again.
"Are you familiar with Han Jingyi?"
Han Jingyi is his immediate superior and also the young master who took over Qingying Yijing. Zhou Yan noticed that every time Lin Xu talked about Han Jingyi, it didn't seem like his attitude towards his own boss.
Not to mention respect, there seems to be a bit of resentment.
Although this is not a positive relationship, it also shows that the two people are very familiar with each other.
Otherwise, with Han Jingyi's personality, he would not tolerate his subordinates treating him like this.
Not to mention a newcomer like Lin Xu, even veteran designers in the circle would not easily give face to the boss.
"Not really, just a friend of a friend, it's a bit of a festive occasion."
Lin Xu's explanation did not make sense to Zhou Yan.
What Zhou Yan heard was Lin Xu blah blah, in short, they were very familiar with each other.
"I've never heard you say that before."
"Huh? Why would he talk about something unimportant? Let's go, we're going to be late for work."
Lin Xu washed his face and went back to the room to change clothes.
After Lin Xu changed into pajamas last night, he chose bright-colored clothes this morning.
The egg-yellow suit has an egg boy logo on the chest, which looks so cute with his sleepy face.
"Let's take a nap in the car. I don't have anything to do at noon. Would you like to have lunch together?" Zhou Yan asked for a lunch date.
Lin Xu was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid it won't work today. I have an appointment with Chen Jinhe."
"Him? Isn't he working?"
"Well, he took the postgraduate entrance exam right after graduation, and he's still taking it now."
"Oh." Zhou Yan was a little disappointed that the dinner appointment failed.
After not seeing each other for a few days, he always feels like he needs to catch up.
"We meet every day, but I haven't seen him for a long time. I went to have lunch with him at noon. I'll go with you next time."
A long time? Didn't they go to the movies together just last week? Besides, how could they see each other every day? How could they see each other every day when they just got back from a three-day business trip?
