Chapter 62 What Should Children Learn from Adults?
If everything before was a misunderstanding, then starting from last night, Zhou Yan's behavior could not be explained by misunderstanding at all.
He invited me to sleep in the same bed and said things like, "You feel safe being with me," which could easily be misunderstood.
And what I just said was even more ambiguous.
What do you mean you can try to take care of him?
This is obviously not something you would say to a good brother, right?
If it were someone else, Lin Xu wouldn't be bothered. He would definitely think that the other person was flirting with him. This wasn't even a hint, it was already an explicit statement.
But the other party was Zhou Yan, so Lin Xu became conflicted.
Zhou Yan is a straight man, this is a fact and there is no need to question it.
Then his behavior is very strange.
And the problem is, even if he suddenly becomes gay and has feelings for me, how can I test him?
Come directly?
If Zhou Yan had no other intentions, it would be so embarrassing.
If Zhou Yan just had a good impression of him and didn't realize what the feeling was, he would only end up making things worse if he rashly revealed it.
Therefore, how to know what Zhou Yan was thinking became Lin Xu's most tangled problem.
Zhou Yan had a social engagement that night.
Since Zhou Yan asked him to take care of it, Lin Xu crossed his arms and took charge: "Then drink less. The doctor just told you to pay attention."
"I'll try my best."
"How about this, don't call a designated driver when you're done tonight. I'll pick you up."
Zhou Yan heard him say this, and suddenly felt a little excited but also reluctant: "Are you sure? We might finish very late, so it won't disturb your rest?"
Lin Xu was very determined: "No delay, I won't go to bed too early anyway. It's settled. I'll be your driver. Let me know before you finish and I'll pick you up."
"Okay, then you can take me there after work, then drive home and pick me up in the evening."
"That's settled."
Facts have proved that Lin Xu's method is effective.
Zhou Yan was worried that Lin Xu would keep waiting if he went back too late, so he postponed going to the club after dinner.
Otherwise Lin Xu would have to wait until late at night.
Driver Kobayashi did his job conscientiously and picked up Mr. Zhou, also bringing him some hangover soup.
I brought it in a thermos cup.
Zhou Yan took a few big gulps, leaned back in his chair, loosened his tie, and unbuttoned his collar with one hand.
"Brother, fasten your seat belt." Lin Xu reminded.
Zhou Yan leaned back in his chair, looked at Lin Xu sideways, and did not move.
Instead, he pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, took one and held it between his fingers, then fumbled for his lighter.
Lin Xu was quick to pull out the cigarette, put it in his mouth, and looked at Zhou Yan provocatively.
Zhou Yan smiled, leaned over and pulled the cigarette out of Lin Xu's mouth, and said, "Why should a child imitate adults?"
After saying that, he put it into his mouth.
But he fumbled for the lighter but didn't light the cigarette. He just held the cigarette in the corner of his mouth to satisfy his craving.
This was considered obedience, and Lin Xu was quite satisfied. He urged him to fasten his seat belt again.
Zhou Yan didn't get to smoke cigarettes, and his craving for cigarettes came back. He couldn't smoke, which made him feel very anxious, so he had to compensate himself in other ways.
He sat there without moving, motioning Lin Xu to come over and help him tie it.
Lin Xu had no choice but to go over and tie it for him.
Zhou Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the little head in front of him. He smelled the fresh scent on his body, and his irritable urge to smoke faded away. He took the cigarette out of his mouth.
Lin Xu fastened Zhou Yan's seat belt, started the car and went home.
Zhou Yan didn't drink much. With his alcohol tolerance, he was not even 20% drunk.
But when he saw Lin Xu busy taking care of him, he was almost drunk.
Zhou Yan thought he might be crazy.
I want to be close to Lin Xu, I want to lean on him, I want to fall asleep smelling his pleasant scent.
I know clearly that these things should not be done and are not allowed.
It made him feel itchy like a nicotine craving, but it was even harder to suppress than a nicotine craving.
Ren Linxu helped him upstairs and fell onto the sofa. He watched Linxu go to the bathroom to get a towel to wipe his face. He watched him frown and ask himself in front of him, "Why am I still so drunk after drinking the hangover soup?"
Zhou Yan felt like a piece of honey had melted in his heart, but he couldn't eat it, which made him feel distressed.
Zhou Yan felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have drunk more. If he had been really drunk, maybe he wouldn't have had so many worries in his mind.
Lin Xu's wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Zhou Yan took the towel from his hand and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
"Oh, go ahead then. Be careful not to fall."
The silly kid thought he was really drunk. Zhou Yan smiled and stroked Lin Xu's wrist to tease him: "Together?"
Lin Xu seemed to have touched some switch, and he jumped up and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no need, you go ahead, I washed before leaving."
Zhou Yan just wanted to tease him. Seeing his flustered expression, he didn't intend to force him and went to take a shower with a towel.
Lin Xu blushed and rubbed his hair in frustration as he returned to his room.
Lin Xu did not lie, he had indeed taken a shower before going out.
The sweet smell of strawberries in the shower room had not yet completely dissipated, drifting in every corner, teasing Zhou Yan's nerves.
It was as if Lin Xu was standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile, her big watery eyes clean and clear.
As the mist rose, Zhou Yan's vision became blurred and his consciousness became a little fuzzy.
The vague restlessness in my body became increasingly difficult to control.
Zhou Yan leaned his arms against the bathroom wall, the water flowing down his hair and washing over his strong muscles.
The bathroom door blocked the man's heavy breathing and Zhou Yan's frantic heartbeat.
In the second bedroom, Lin Xu hugged a doll and looked through Zhou Yan's photos on his phone, and gradually fell asleep.
It has been a month since Lin Xu joined Qingying Yijing.
The basic salary for full attendance plus the project bonus alleviated a large part of his financial pressure.
Anyway, he is now able to feed his whole family, so he set aside some money for living expenses and used the remaining money to buy a dishwasher.
Whether it was out of gratitude for Zhou Yan's free feeding or as a reward for Zhou Yan's renovation of his balcony, Lin Xu also wanted to do something for Zhou Yan.
Every time Zhou Yan cooked a table full of dishes, when he wanted to help wash the dishes, Zhou Yan said no.
Seeing Zhou Yan doing all the kitchen work by himself, Lin Xu couldn't bear it.
He had wanted to buy a dishwasher for a long time, but he had no money.
Now that I have received my salary, the first thing I do is to pay the money and make an appointment with the driver to deliver the goods to my door after get off work.
When Zhou Yan was renovating the house, he didn't reserve space for a dishwasher, so Lin Xu had to buy a countertop dishwasher that didn't require installation. Fortunately, there wasn't much difference in function. There were only two of them dining, so they didn't have many dishes or chopsticks.
For dinner, Zhou Yan made shredded pork with fish flavor and eggplant strips with sauce. While he was cooking, the courier arrived.
Lin Xu answered the phone and went to open the door. Zhou Yan heard the noise and came over to see.
"What did you buy such a big box?"
Lin Xu chuckled: "Surprise. Master, please help me move it to the kitchen."
The boxes were moved to the kitchen, unpacked and inspected. After Lin Xu signed the receipt, the master left.
Zhou Yan was somewhat moved.
It's not because of the thing itself.
It was because Lin Xu bought things for this house, which made him feel that Lin Xu would live here for a long time.
