Chapter 66 Sticky Sticky Sticky You Are My Hidden Style.
A thin man wearing glasses appeared in front of him, blocking Jiang Mingyu's view.
"You must be Mr. Jiang, the president of Blue Universe?"
“Yeah.” Jiang Mingyu ignored him and kept peering inside, trying to find Xing Lan. “I’m here to see your Director Xing. I have some new opinions about the plan he gave us last time. I need to talk to him and ask him to revise it.”
"I'm sorry, Director Xing has already withdrawn from this project." Xiao Fang looked at Jiang Mingyu and said politely, "Now I am the main person in charge of this project. My name is Xiao Fang. If you have any thoughts, you can tell me."
"Me? Me? Tell you?" Jiang Mingyu gradually realized something was wrong and widened his eyes, saying, "What business is it of yours if I tell you? I'm telling you, I'm going to see your Director Xing. This is something I can only discuss with him!"
Xiao Fang looked troubled and repeated hesitantly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, but Director Xing is indeed no longer in charge of this project..."
Jiang Mingyu felt a surge of annoyance looking at the timid and submissive Xiao Fang in front of him.
He never expected that Xing Lan would give up her job to avoid him, treating him like a plague.
Jiang Mingyu snorted coldly, flicked his clothes, crossed his legs, sat down on the leather sofa in the company lobby, and said with his chin raised, "I don't care. I just want to see your Director Xing, otherwise we don't need to cooperate."
"Hey you, Xiao Huang, don't just stand there like an idiot. Quickly call your Chief Criminal Inspector over here. I want to talk to him personally."
Xiao Fang glanced at Jiang Mingyu awkwardly: "Um, I, my name is Xiao Fang, not Xiao Huang..."
Jiang Mingyu glanced at him coldly, frowning impatiently as he dismissed him, "What's with all this 'yellow' and 'square' stuff? Even if you were SpongeBob SquarePants, I wouldn't be interested in you for a second. I want to see your Director Xing. Hurry up and call Xing Lan out here. I have something very important to say to him."
Xiao Fang: "..."
Xiao Fang didn't say anything, turned around and left. Jiang Mingyu initially thought he was going to call someone for him, but he didn't expect that Xiao Fang would never come back.
Back when the project was handed over, Xing Lan had already given Xiao Fang a heads-up. He said that Jiang Mingyu was a very difficult person to deal with and that he was mentally unstable. He told Xiao Fang not to be afraid of Jiang Mingyu threatening to cancel the cooperation, and that if Jiang Mingyu threw a tantrum, he should just ignore him.
Jiang Mingyu may seem reckless, but he is actually very clear in his heart that the cooperation between the two companies is his only chance to get closer to Xing Lan. Although he often threatens Xing Lan by saying that he does not want to cooperate, he is the one who is really afraid that the cooperation will be ruined.
Xing Lan's private office door was tightly closed. No matter how shameless Jiang Mingyu was, he was still a well-known and wealthy second-generation heir. His status was what it was, and he wasn't a real thug, so it wasn't appropriate for him to just barge in.
Jiang Mingyu waited and waited, growing angrier with each passing moment.
The frail SpongeBob just left like that, without bringing back Patrick, whom he longed for.
No one in the company paid any attention to him, so Jiang Mingyu just sat on the sofa for the whole afternoon, until his legs kept cramping up.
He checked the time and realized that Xing Lan was about to get off work, so he went to the restroom, thinking that he could wait for Xing Lan at the office door after he came out.
However, when he quickly came out of the restroom, he saw Xing Lan at the company entrance, head down, gently tidying the clothes of a blond man who looked like a college student.
When Xing Lan looked at him, her eyes were incredibly cold and disgusted, as if she had seen something filthy and wanted nothing more than to kick it away. But when she looked at the other man, her eyes were full of affection and tenderness, and the frost over her brows melted away gently, creating an incredibly ambiguous atmosphere between them.
Even when he was dating Xing Lan, he had never seen Xing Lan so gentle and considerate towards him. Occasionally, when he wanted to hug him affectionately in public, Xing Lan would slap the hand that was around his waist down.
After tidying up her clothes, Xing Lan was driven away by the blond-haired boy. The two were very affectionate, chatting and laughing, giving Jiang Mingyu no chance to catch up.
We waited so long, but it was all for nothing.
Seeing their sweetness and thinking of the bitterness of being snatched away, Jiang Mingyu was like a goose hit by a stone. He instantly let out a furious cry and slammed his fist into the marble pillar next to him, causing blood to flow continuously from his knuckles.
He shook his hand in annoyance, intending to come back tomorrow, but the next second, someone grabbed his ear.
The man grabbed his ear, spun it 180 degrees, and twisted it hard, causing him to grimace and stop in his tracks in pain.
Jiang Mingyu turned his head, about to curse, but upon seeing the person's face, his arrogance instantly subsided, and he cautiously called out, "...Mom?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts!"
"You still feel pain? You're such a disgrace!" Jiang Mingyu's mother, dressed in an expensive mink coat, glared angrily at Jiang Mingyu and yelled two words at him, "Go home!"
-
Jiang Mingyu's parents somehow discovered that he was harassing employees at other companies every day instead of going to work.
When his parents found out, they scolded him severely and locked him in the house every day, not letting him come out.
Even if he was still unwilling, he was forced to shut up for a while.
Finally free from Jiang Mingyu's entanglement, and since Xing Lan wasn't too busy with work lately, she spent all her time sticking to Li Baidong.
From Monday to Friday, the two of them went to work or school respectively, but on weekends they were inseparable. Li Baidong even wanted to follow Xing Lan into the bathroom.
Since their very thorough conversation at the dinner table that day, their relationship has undergone a subtle change; simply put, they have become much closer.
In the past, Xing Lan didn't resist Li Baidong's approach, but he still maintained a certain distance. Once it crossed that line, he would feel a little uncomfortable and would subtly avoid him.
In the past, when Li Baidong was dozing off on his chest, Xing Lan would often ruthlessly pull him up by the hair and tell him to go back to his bedroom to sleep.
But now, everything feels natural.
Sometimes, when Li Baidong got sleepy while watching TV, he would rest his head directly on Xing Lan's lap, and Xing Lan wouldn't react at all. Li Baidong would use the excuse of giving him a massage to relax, taking advantage of him without any resistance.
Xing Lan has always been a person with clear boundaries in his dealings, very principled, and not fond of physical contact with others. But now he is backing down again and again, making it easier for Li Baidong to advance. The two of them have reached a tacit understanding, both physically and mentally.
In fact, Xing Lan had been somewhat attracted to Li Baidong from the very first moment he saw him. After living together for so long, he had seen Li Baidong's young and handsome body and his strong and alluring muscles time and time again.
Although Xing Lan appears aloof and indifferent, he is not without desires. He is naturally attracted to the same sex and will inevitably be drawn to handsome young men with good physiques and good looks. However, he has excellent self-control, so it is not obvious on the surface.
Now their feelings for each other are growing deeper and their relationship is getting better and better. They are so affectionate that they don't need to buy candy or dog food anymore. The whole apartment is filled with a sweet fragrance at all times, a sticky atmosphere that belongs to the honeymoon phase.
Soon, they celebrated their first special holiday together since they got together – Valentine's Day.
Xing Lan bought Li Baidong a Valentine's Day gift several days in advance: a set of limited-edition plush blind boxes.
These dolls have recently become incredibly popular online. Xing Lan thinks they're all baring their teeth and not particularly cute, looking more like sea urchins with two eyes. However, Li Baidong is a huge fan of this IP, talking about it to Xing Lan every day and frequently sending him their emoji packs.
Xing Lan didn't understand the blind box market very well. She looked up some strategies online and secretly waited for the early morning every day to try and grab a set. However, her hand speed was not fast enough, and she spent several days trying to grab a set but ended up staying up all night to miss out. In the end, she had no choice but to pay an exorbitant price and spend several thousand yuan to buy a whole set directly from a scalper at a high price.
The scalper was cunning yet enthusiastic. Seeing that his account was new, he specifically asked if he wanted to buy it for his girlfriend. Xing Lan, with a very simple system avatar, casually agreed.
Seeing Xing Lan's naivety, the other party lied and said he was experienced and could use a flashlight to peek inside the box to see the design. He recommended another, more expensive link, saying that the link had a higher probability of getting the hidden design. Xing Lan believed him and immediately added several hundred more yuan, thinking that Li Baidong would be even happier if he could get the hidden design.
The package arrived on Valentine's Day.
The deliveryman was very dedicated and delivered the package to my door early in the morning.
When the doorbell rang, the two were still snuggled in bed. Xing Lan had just woken up, while Li Baidong had been awake for a while but hadn't gotten up yet. He gently twirled a strand of Xing Lan's hair around his fingertip, playing with it idly.
Xing Lan narrowed her eyes, ignoring Li Baidong's continued playful playing with his hair, and casually said to him, "The package should have arrived. Go and get it."
Li Baidong listened without changing his mind.
Compared to going outside and standing in the cold wind to pick up a package, it's definitely more comfortable to lie in bed with Xing Lan.
Although they were both men and physically similar, Li Baidong felt that Xing Lan's entire body was soft, warm, and had a faint fragrance, making him want to keep pressing against her and hold her tightly.
However, he had just lowered his head and leaned closer when Xing Lan coldly pushed him away with her palm.
"Go pick up the package." Xing Lan glanced at him, her tone leaving no room for argument.
Li Baidong was refused the delivery, looked up pitifully, and said, "What delivery? I don't remember ordering anything."
"My package." Xing Lan's tone was still indifferent. After a pause, the tips of her ears suddenly turned red without being noticed. "I... I slept for too long, and my back is a little numb. Could you help me get it?"
The morning light was too strong. Although the curtains were half-drawn, they weren't fully closed. Sunlight streamed in through the gaps, making his skin almost translucent white, and every strand of hair shimmered with a golden luster, making him look exceptionally noble.
Several distinct red marks were visible on her slender neck, remnants of last night. Upon closer inspection, one or two teeth marks could even be seen mixed in. Small, puppy-like teeth marks, just a bit dark in color.
Li Baidong stared at him, his gaze sweeping from top to bottom, filled with deep infatuation.
Xing Lan felt a little embarrassed by his stare, so she turned her face away and coughed softly.
Li Baidong smiled, leaned over and kissed him, then got dressed, jumped out of bed, and very attentively went to get the package for Xing Lan.
Xing Lan was still lying in bed. He was about to lift the covers and get out of bed when he accidentally strained his lower back muscles, hissing and frowning slightly.
There was a rustling sound outside, and after a while, Li Baidong returned excitedly carrying a beautifully packaged cardboard box, his face beaming with a bright smile.
"Bro?! When did you buy this blind box? I love it so much!"
Xing Lan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at him, and calmly said, "You like it? Then take it apart."
Li Baidong's hands were trembling with excitement. He licked his lips, and after realizing what he had just said, he looked at Xing Lan in disbelief again: "Really, brother? Is this my Valentine's Day gift?"
Xing Lan did not answer, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Li Baidong sat cross-legged on the carpet by the bed and carefully began to open the blind box.
Xing Lan watched him from behind for a while. This was the first time he had ever seen someone open a blind box, and it was quite a novel experience for him.
Li Baidong moved quickly, his slender fingers pulling out one colorful plush doll after another from the cardboard box. Every time he pulled out a new one, he would let out a soft exclamation and widen his eyes, as if he really liked it.
He kept exclaiming "Wow!" repeatedly, his expression extremely exaggerated. Xing Lan couldn't decipher his tone, so she nudged Li Baidong's shoulder and asked, "Why are you so excited? Did you find the hidden model?"
Li Baidong looked at the pile of ordinary banknotes beside his legs, but smiled and turned to look at Xing Lan on the bed. He nodded happily and said, "We got them!" His young voice was particularly clear.
Upon hearing this, Xing Lan's dark, almond-shaped eyes brightened slightly. Looking at the large pile of dissimilar little things on the ground, she asked with some curiosity, "Which one is the hidden model? They all look pretty much the same to me."
Li Baidong smiled, then suddenly sat up slightly, hooked his fingertips around Xing Lan's slightly upturned cheek, kissed his lips, and then stared at his fair and delicate face, narrowed his eyes, and said in a cheerful tone.
"It's you."
