Chapter 54 Aren’t You Deceiving Yourself?
Lin Xu disconnected from the server directly.
Looking at Zhou Yan, I didn't know how to react.
My eyes felt a little sore.
There is nothing more tear-jerking than when your secret crush is reciprocated.
Even if this moment is just a coincidence.
"Then when will you come back?" Lin Xu asked in a low voice, suppressing the urge to cry.
There was no response from Zhou Yan.
The angle at which the phone was placed was just right to see Zhou Yan's face, and he was already asleep.
Lin Xu pursed her lips, secretly wiped away her tears, placed her phone on the doll beside her pillow, and whispered "good night".
He just looked at Zhou Yan, listening to his heavy breathing, and gradually fell asleep.
Zhou Yan woke up in the middle of the night.
The alcohol was already half gone, and when he opened his eyes he saw Lin Xu's sleeping face on the phone screen.
There is one advantage of Zhou Yan drinking, he keeps drinking.
Perhaps it is a special skill developed from hanging out in drinking parties for so many years. No matter how much he drinks, his behavior may be out of control, but he will subconsciously remember the important things that happened.
Whatever the other party agreed to or promised at the dinner table, he would definitely get it back afterwards.
So, he remembered how he got back to the hotel yesterday and how he made a video call with Lin Xu.
Lin Xu said he missed him, and he remembered.
Zhou Yan raised his fingertips and gently touched Lin Xu's cheek through the screen, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
What a silly child.
Zhou Yan actually doesn't have many friends.
After graduation, college classmates went their separate ways. With fewer opportunities to meet, they gradually faded out of each other's lives. Now they are just friends who like each other's posts on WeChat Moments.
You can’t make true and sincere friends after you start working. It’s all about weighing and calculating interests.
When various factors are involved, it is difficult for two people to become true friends.
Including the fact that he helped Wu Jing block the wine today, it was not entirely out of a sense of justice.
He wanted to sign the contract, but he didn't want to give in. The two sides had been deadlocked for so many days. If he helped Wu Jing block the wine, he was giving the other party an opportunity to suppress him.
Only by giving him the upper hand psychologically will he make concessions in reality.
And Lin Xu is the most special person in his life.
Lin Xu's concern and care for him had nothing to do with his own interests; it was just out of concern.
There was no reason for him to care about and take care of Lin Xu.
This pure feeling is precious to Zhou Yan.
It is the source of warmth in his silent heart.
Zhou Yan took a screenshot of the video and then quietly hung up.
He was afraid that the noise he would make while taking a shower and changing clothes would wake Lin Xu up.
Zhou Yan got up, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then went to bed.
He successfully got the contract today and can go back tomorrow.
I can also see Lin Xu.
Early the next morning.
Lin Xu woke up and found that the video call was hung up in the middle of the night.
He guessed that Zhou Yan had woken up and hung up the phone. He didn't know whether he was awake after drinking so much.
Lin Xu didn't call him, but just sent a message asking if he was feeling better.
Then I get up, wash up and go to work overtime.
When Zhou Yan left, he left his car keys to him and asked him to drive to work instead of taking the subway.
But Lin Xu didn't have the nerve to open it just like that, so he agreed verbally but never actually opened it.
Zhou Yan had talked about him yesterday during the day. If he didn't open it today, it would seem that he and Zhou Yan were estranged.
So when Lin Xu went out, he took the car keys from the shoe cabinet.
As a result, Zhou Yan’s company’s small group exploded again.
[Is Mr. Zhou back from his business trip? I just saw his car.]
[No, it was the handsome guy upstairs who drove here. I saw him get out of the car with my own eyes.]
[They're so close that they can drive the same car? So, those suspicions about them living together are now confirmed, right?]
[It's definitely a sure thing. They work together every day, so what else could they be but living together?]
[I feel bad for President Han. Doesn't that mean he has no chance at all?]
[Why are you supporting Mr. Han? Zhou Lin and I are the right couple. Can you guys who support Mr. Han open a separate group?]
[The handsome boy looks haggard. I saw him this morning and he looked thinner. Why hasn't Mr. Zhou come back yet?]
At this time, Zhou Yan also got up. Before leaving, he met with the client again, and then made an appointment with Wu Jing to meet in the cafe of her hotel.
"Thank you for sending me back to the hotel yesterday." Zhou Yan came here specially to express his gratitude.
Wu Jing smiled and shook her head: "You're welcome, you helped me yesterday, it's my duty."
After saying that, both of them were silent for a while.
When smart people talk to each other, there is never a need to say too much.
Wu Jing spoke first: "Since you didn't black out yesterday, I don't have anything to say."
Zhou Yan also smiled: "Thank you."
"Ah... Actually, I was looking forward to your rebuttal."
Zhou Yan was helpless. He didn't even know how to refute himself, so how could he refute others?
"Ms. Wu, I admire your abilities from the bottom of my heart."
"I know, your admiration is just admiration anyway. But Zhou Yan, I'm curious about one thing. Can you two really continue like this?"
Wu Jing had no ill intentions, but she just couldn't understand why a rational person like Zhou Yan would do such a rebellious thing.
This topic was unavoidable. Zhou Yan was silent for a moment and then said, "We are friends. I treat him as my younger brother. Of course, this relationship can continue."
Wu Jing wanted to say, "Aren't you just deceiving yourself? The way you behaved yesterday, how he started crying when he heard I answered the phone, how could we remain friends forever?"
Zhou Yan is so smart, it’s impossible that he doesn’t know.
He probably thought carefully about his decision to play dumb, right?
This relationship cannot be accepted by the world and can only be kept in the heart.
But Wu Jing disagreed.
She has always been bold in her love and hate relationships. If she falls in love with a girl one day, she will not be bound by these things.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt relieved.
Zhou Yan is not perfect either, it's just that she thinks Zhou Yan is too perfect.
"Okay, it's your business, you can decide for yourselves. Let's still be friends, right? I'm quite curious about your future development."
Zhou Yan smiled helplessly: "Why are you curious about this?"
Wu Jing stirred the coffee in her cup. "Don't worry about it. CP is something we girls enjoy. It relieves stress and regulates hormone secretion."
This also surprised Zhou Yan.
Wu Jing looks calm, wise, mature and steady, and she actually has the same hobby as the girls in the company.
People are multifaceted and we really can't be completely empirical.
The two smiled at each other, finished their coffee, and said goodbye to each other.
Zhou Yan sent a message to Lin Xu after he arrived at the airport with his luggage, asking him if he wanted to come and pick him up.
Lin Xu was in a meeting at the company. When he received Zhou Yan's message, he couldn't help laughing and quickly replied with a "good".
Han Jingyi was explaining the new project information in front of him. He clearly noticed his expression and coughed lightly to remind him.
Lin Xu then put away his phone, but his heart was already about to fly away.
