Chapter 60 Invitation to Sleep Together
If Lin Xu hadn't been so scared, Zhou Yan might have fallen asleep long ago.
Domestic horror movies are actually not that scary.
It's just that the soundtrack and atmosphere are good, there's nothing real about it.
But Lin Xu was really into the role.
Watching his reaction is far more interesting than watching the film itself.
Every time he wanted to be mysterious, Lin Xu would curl himself up into a ball, hug his knees and hide half of his face in his arms, ready to hide his eyes at any time.
But I couldn't help wanting to watch it, I was both green and timid.
He was sitting slightly sideways, and every time he shrank back in fear, he would get a little closer to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan remembered the last time he met Lin Xu at the movies. Lin Xu was sitting several rows away from him.
This time Lin Xu was by his side.
Zhou Yan raised his hand and put his arm around Lin Xu's shoulders, pulling him into his arms again.
"No, don't watch it. I'll watch something else with you."
"It's almost finished." Lin Xu would be more scared if he didn't see the ending.
"Then just watch it like this." Zhou Yan just held him and watched him.
Lin Xu suffered a loss in the last game, and he reacted quickly this time.
Zhou Yan hugged him again.
Lin Xu's attention shifted from the screen to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan’s arms were warm and felt good, giving me a full sense of security.
As a result, Lin Xu didn't pay much attention to the plot later and was not so scared anymore.
The movie was over, and Lin Xu had no reason to stay in Zhou Yan's arms anymore, so he sat up straight.
Zhou Yan teased him: "How dare you sleep alone after watching this so late at night?"
Lin Xu forced himself to be energetic: "Of course I dare. Let's go, let's go to bed. I have to go to work tomorrow."
Zhou Yan knew him too well. He could tell from the guilty look in his big eyes that he was very scared.
But he couldn't just ask Lin Xu to sleep with him, that would be a bit too weird.
"Okay, good night then. But if you're afraid you can't sleep, you can come and sleep with me. I won't laugh at you."
Lin Xu puffed out his chest: "How is that possible!"
As a result, Lin Xu, who had shown off his power, regretted it as soon as he returned home.
Sometimes Chen Jinhe was right to scold him. Zhou Yan had already said that he wanted to sleep with him, so how could he still be so arrogant and say no?
What a great opportunity!
Sleep with him!
Lin Xu was about to cry because of his own stupidity.
But I've already been told not to, so wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to run over there now?
Lin Xu held the doll and hesitated.
The result was that he gritted his teeth, rolled up his quilt and rushed into Zhou Yan's room.
Zhou Yan had just laid down when the door was kicked open, startling him.
As a result, he saw Lin Xu wrapped in a quilt and jumped directly onto his bed, crawling up like a worm, finding a comfortable position next to him and then staying still.
Zhou Yan was so angry that he went over and pulled the blanket wrapped around Lin Xu and asked, "Didn't you say you weren't afraid? Why did you come over anyway?"
"I'm afraid you'll be scared." Lin Xu said sullenly under the quilt.
Although the air conditioner was on in the room, it couldn't stop Lin Xu from wrapping himself so tightly. Zhou Yan shook for a long time before shaking Lin Xu out of the quilt.
Zhou Yan turned sideways to face Lin Xu, holding his head straight with one hand and covering him with the quilt with the other. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'm scared."
Since Zhou Yan gave him the way down, Lin Xu followed him down and patted Zhou Yan: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Well, then you have to protect me." Zhou Yan was more able to go with the flow, so he leaned over directly, rested his forehead on Lin Xu's shoulder, and curled up beside him.
Lin Xu's blood boiled with a loud bang.
This...this is really not right...
Is this the sleeping position of a good friend?
Lin Xu didn't dare to move and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Just when he thought Zhou Yan had fallen asleep, the person next to him suddenly spoke.
"I don't know why. I haven't known you for long, but I feel inexplicably safe around you."
This was the first time Lin Xu heard Zhou Yan say such words since the two of them met.
Zhou Yan, who has always been mature and steady, seems to be exposing his vulnerable side at this moment.
In the silent night, his low murmur sounded more like a monologue.
Lin Xu's restless heart miraculously calmed down.
Zhou Yan said that he felt safe around her, and so did he.
These days, Zhou Yan has become the person closest to him.
She also became the person he trusted the most. Even when she was harassed by her ex-boyfriend, she put all the bad emotions behind her after seeing Zhou Yan.
It seems that as long as Zhou Yan is around, all the troubles in this world are not worth mentioning.
But what could he respond to now?
Saying 'me too' seems perfunctory.
Saying 'I will always be by your side' seems too serious.
Lin Xu thought for a long time, and finally raised his hand to gently smooth the hair on the back of Zhou Yan's head: "Then sleep peacefully."
The breathing of the people around me gradually became steady.
He fell asleep next to Lin Xu.
Lin Xu tilted his head slightly, moving closer to Zhou Yan's head, but not daring to touch it. Surrounded by his breath, he fell asleep peacefully.
The two of them almost slept with their necks intertwined.
The next day, Lin Xu successfully got a stiff neck due to his sleeping posture.
I can only tilt my head, I can't straighten it up or look back, and the slightest movement will make me grimace in pain.
The two of them stood in front of the mirror brushing their teeth, and Lin Xu tilted his head.
Zhou Yan felt both amused and distressed. He brushed his teeth with one hand and gently massaged him with the other.
"I'll take you to the Chinese medicine clinic at noon and let the doctor treat you."
Lin Xu now feels a little stressed when he hears about Chinese medicine.
"I'm not going. It's just a stiff neck, right? Who hasn't had it? There's no need to go to the hospital with so many people, right?"
Zhou Yan insisted: "Your case is too serious. Be obedient, I will take you there during lunch break."
Lin Xu couldn't persuade him and had to agree.
After the regular meeting on Monday morning, Han Jingyi asked Lin Xu and two other designers to stay to discuss the project.
When Lin Xu mentioned that Zhou Yan was also trying hard to fight for it, Han Jingyi frowned.
"As the designer of this project, you have a much better grasp of the core data than Zhou Yan. Use your company computer to work on this project. Don't bring it home for the time being."
"Why?"
"Zhou Yan is going to bid. If your competitors use the fact that you two are living together as an opportunity to exploit it, they could easily use it to question Zhou Yan's work and squeeze him out of the project. So, just focus on this project and don't talk about it at home."
Only then did Lin Xu realize the connection. No wonder Zhou Yan's attitude was a little subtle yesterday.
“He didn’t even tell me…”
"What's the point of telling you? Is he quitting the project or are you quitting the design team? Besides, it hasn't come to that. You're not from the bidding company, so your involvement won't be too big. Just don't let anyone take advantage of you."
Han Jingyi could actually understand Zhou Yan's approach. If Lin Xu, the little fool, knew that he would have an impact on Zhou Yan's subsequent work, he would definitely choose to protect Zhou Yan.
In fact, Han Jingyi envied Zhou Yan very much because Lin Xu cared about him.
"Your neck - do you need to see a doctor?" Han Jingyi asked with concern.
"Zhou Yan said he would take me to see it at noon."
Han Jingyi: ...
He was beginning to doubt, is Zhou Yan really a straight man?
