Chapter 45 Suspicious Person
Lin Xu was restless while working all morning.
He always felt that it was not a good thing for Zhou Yan to hang out like this.
"Teng Qiu, what do you think is the situation in which a man would dress himself up?" Lin Xu couldn't help but ask Teng Qiu beside him.
Teng Qiu looked incredulous: "You ask me? Why are you asking me such a question when you're a man?"
"Oh, that's right." Lin Xu was dejected.
If the question is about himself, then there is only one answer: Zhou Yan has someone who makes him care about his image.
He just couldn't accept this answer, so he wanted to find a different answer from others to comfort himself.
Lin Xu asked Chen Jinhe the same question again.
Chen Jinhe: [Why ask? The peacock has spread its feathers.]
Lin Xu: ...
The problem is that Zhou Yan either has to attend social events or go home on time every night, so he knows his whereabouts best.
There's nothing suspicious about it.
If it’s not the girl from the last blind date, then it must be someone from the company?
The more Lin Xu thought about it, the more restless he felt. Ten minutes before lunch break, Lin Xu slipped downstairs.
The receptionist had already memorized Lin Xu's face, and when she saw him approaching, she asked directly, "Are you looking for our CEO Zhou?"
Lin Xu nodded: "Yes."
"Please wait a moment." The front desk clerk called Zhou Yan and said that the designer upstairs had arrived.
Zhou Yan asked her to bring Lin Xu in quickly.
Lin Xu walked slowly towards Zhou Yan's office, observed the people around Zhou Yan, and looked for suspicious targets.
"Why did you come down early?" Zhou Yan asked while sitting behind his desk.
When he works, he rolls up his shirt sleeves, revealing half of his forearms, looking casual and sexy.
It's just that he rolled up his sleeves casually, so they're a bit messy.
"I-I came to see how this pot of flowers is doing." Lin Xu glanced at the pot of flowers he had given Zhou Yan on his desk and found a seemingly reasonable excuse for himself.
Zhou Yan smiled and raised his chin towards the flowerpot: "It's growing well."
The receptionist completed his task and exited the office.
I posted a big sweet in the group: [The extra plant on Mr. Zhou's desk was also given by the handsome boy. He came to check whether Mr. Zhou is taking good care of the flowers.]
【I hit it.】
[I was wondering why Mr. Zhou suddenly started growing flowers. Turns out someone gave them to him.]
Mr. Zhou is such a sweetheart. When I go in to clean the office, he won't let me touch it. He waters and wipes everything himself.
Lin Xu arrived ten minutes early and chatted with Zhou Yan for a while before lunch break.
Zhou Yan tidied up the things in his hands, stood up and went downstairs with Lin Xu to eat.
"Wait a minute." Lin Xu pulled Zhou Yan back.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Xu walked to Zhou Yan's side, unrolled his sleeves and rolled them up again.
"If you roll up your sleeves like this, they'll be all wrinkled by the time you get off work."
Zhou Yan lowered his eyes and watched Lin Xu carefully adjusting his cuffs, and cooperated by raising his arms to make it easier for Lin Xu.
Lin Xu's fingers have distinct joints, and probably because of his fair skin, they look clean, and the fingertips are a little pink.
The wrinkled sleeves became smoothed in his hands, and the stress of his work seemed to be relieved a little bit.
The two of them went to the second floor to eat together.
Although there are a lot of people, fortunately they are all in the building and don’t have to go outside.
The high temperature these days is really unbearable.
Lin Xu ordered beef cold noodles and Zhou Yan ordered a set meal.
Lin Xu said he didn't want cilantro, but when the dish was served, cilantro was still added. Maybe there were too many people at noon and the chef was busy and forgot about it.
"Forget it, I'll choose it myself." Lin Xu didn't make things difficult for the waiter.
Zhou Yan didn't let Lin Xu move, but picked up his bowl of noodles and exchanged the food between the two.
"You eat this, I'll eat noodles."
"No need, I'll just pick it out." Lin Xu wasn't allergic, he just didn't like it very much, so he could just pick it out.
But Zhou Yan insisted: "It doesn't matter what I eat, just eat it."
"Thank you." Lin Xu lowered his head and picked up a piece of meat from the bowl and handed it to Zhou Yan's mouth, "Then you can have a piece."
Zhou Yan smiled: "No need."
"Eat it! I'm afraid you'll cry from hunger in the afternoon and won't be able to work."
Zhou Yan had no choice but to lean over, open his mouth and eat the meat, then raised his chin to signal Lin Xu to eat well.
Only then did Lin Xu eat well.
The waiter brought another drink to make up for the kitchen's mistake.
During this time, Zhou Yan asked Lin Xu about his plans for Saturday.
"I might have to go and stay with Chen Jinhe for two days to give him some advice."
Zhou Yan frowned when he heard this. Can't he just counsel him during the day? Why did he have to stay there at night?
"Isn't he still in school? Living in his dormitory would be so inconvenient."
"Their graduate student dormitory is a double room. He doesn't have a roommate, so the environment is pretty good."
Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said, "He's just been heartbroken, and if you go to accompany him, he'll just keep bringing up his sad story. How about this? I have a client swimming with me this weekend. Wouldn't it be better if we treat him to dinner and drinks tonight and help him relax?"
"Ah?" Lin Xu didn't understand what Zhou Yan meant.
If he didn't know that Zhou Yan was a straight man, he would have suspected that Zhou Yan liked Chen Jinhe.
He wasn't close to Chen Jinhe, so why did he invite her to dinner? Why was he so concerned about whether he needed to relax after a breakup?
It's true that Zhou Yan only started to pay attention to his image after meeting Chen Jinhe that day...
Holy shit! No way!
Chen Jinhe, this enchantress, is good-looking, otherwise she wouldn't have seduced that scumbag. Isn't that scumbag also straight?
Is Zhou Yan also bewitched by him???
Lin Xu opened his own little theater here, and his ever-changing expressions were quite exciting.
Zhou Yan:?
"What's wrong?"
Lin Xu pouted and was about to cry.
"Why did you invite him to dinner?"
"Huh? He's your friend. Aren't you going to live with him just to appease him? I mean, have a drink with him and keep him company. And then you go home and sleep at night."
"that's all?"
Zhou Yan laughed angrily: "That's it, what else?"
"Okay, I'll ask him what he thinks." Lin Xu puffed out his cheeks, half believing and half doubting.
Zhou Yan raised his hand and rubbed the top of his head: "What are you thinking about? Do you want to go swimming with me this weekend?"
"Do you want to invite me or Chen Jinhe?" Lin Xu muttered softly.
Zhou Yan was so happy: "No, what kind of jealousy are you eating? Why did I ask him out? I'm asking you, it's just you."
"Who's jealous..." Lin Xu's mood finally brightened up after hearing him say that. "Aren't you meeting a client? Is it inconvenient for me to go?"
"It's okay. We're all here together anyway. Just have fun. It's not inconvenient. Can you swim?"
"Yes," Lin Xu finally smiled, but then realized something and quickly changed his words, "I didn't drown, I just can't swim well."
He was racking his brains over what excuse to use to go out with Zhou Yan on his day off, as it was too hot outside and there was nowhere to go.
I didn't expect Zhou Yan to take the initiative to invite me.
And since it's swimming, of course he has to go.
