October flew by.
Entering November.
The schedule in November was so busy that Chen He had little time to take care of Yan Yongwang's daily life.
When he handed the document to Yan Yongwang, he said to him, "I will be going on a business trip tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Boss, you should take care of yourself and keep warm in the cold weather. Don't forget to eat."
Yan Yongwang nodded and said yes.
Then he asked, "How many days of vacation did you take last month?" Chen He asked calmly, but Yan Yong felt guilty. He calculated and said, "I took four days off at the end of the month."
Shen He nodded: "Very good, don't overwork yourself."
But then he changed the subject: "But I can't take a vacation this month like I did last month. I have a lot of things to do this month."
“You’re going to participate in — lots and lots of activities.”
Yan Yongwang received the schedule sent by Chen He.
All the activities this month, from Fei'an City to Feiye City and then to Feiy Country, in short?, the fingers of one hand are not enough to count them.
These business trips basically require Chen He to accompany him. Yan Yongwang silently checked the days at the end of the month and said sincerely, "Can these days be moved forward?"
Chen He: "If you move forward, your schedule will be more urgent."
"I don't recommend that."
Yan Yongwang said calmly: "But I think I need to leave some time at the end of the month." He didn't speak in a commanding tone, but in a negotiating tone, "I need this time to do what I want to do."
Chen He: "..."
He stared at him straight, and the two of them stared at each other for a long while. He sighed and said, "Well, since you insist on doing this, I can't help it."
For more than three years, whenever his schedule was full, Yan Yongwang would ask to keep the last few days of each month for himself, as if there was something important going on.
Chen He even suspected that he had done something bad at home——
But his attitude is so calm that it really leaves people speechless.
After explaining the itinerary, Chen He sat on the long chair in his office and asked him, "What? I haven't asked you yet, why did Chao Lingxi move out from next door to my house?"
Yan Yongwang didn't even raise his head: "I chased him away."
Chen He: "..."
He felt a moment of silence in the air. When he raised his head, he saw Chen He looking at him silently, with his arms folded. He seemed to want to say something, but was holding it back.
Yan Yongwang raised his eyebrows: "Why do you have this expression?"
Chen He: "..." He was silent for another two seconds before he said, "I always feel like he is... What are your intentions?"
What intention? An intention to be my father?
Yan Yongwang had no expression on his face. He continued to listen to Shen He: "Are you trying to coerce or bribe me?"
"Is this the image I have in your mind?"
Shen He pondered: "Shouldn't it be?"
Yan Yongwang: “Hmm?”
Chen He explained to himself: "Even if a man or a woman climbs into your bed, the first thing you do is to call me to deal with it. There is no reason not to let me handle this kind of incident again." His boss was very inexperienced in dealing with people who tried to get close to him - if there was any experience, it was his secretary Shen.
"Boss, tell me, what did Chao Lingxi ask you to do? And why did he want to live next door to my house?"
"Also, how old is he? He looks pretty good. He looks like he's only in his twenties."
Yan Yongwang narrowed his eyes. He rarely praised him: "You have a good eye for people's age."
"When Chao Lingxi was out, many people thought he was only in his twenties," Yan Yongwang swept the documents in front of him aside, leaned back on the chair, stretched his long legs under the desk, and stretched lazily in the cramped space. He said, "When we walk together, they all think we are the same age."
After hearing what he said, Shen He looked strange: "You walked with him?"
"Yeah." Yan Yongwang didn't hide too much from him. After all, Chen He was his personal secretary, and sometimes it was difficult to hide what he did.
But he did not mention that Ming Chao Lingxi was his biological father. The fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better.
"you?……"
Chen He murmured, looking into Yan Yongwang's eyes, which were calm and indifferent. He really couldn't tell that he had any extra emotions towards her, so he stopped thinking.
He clapped his hands, signaling to the boss not to avoid the question and to answer it in turn in front of the secretary.
Don't make excuses easily.
"He should be over 40 this year." The age Yan Yongwang said was the age on Chao Lingxi's ID card. In fact, if we really calculate according to the age of the deceased Chao Lingxi in the expansion pack, he should be over 50. But the Chao Lingxi in that expansion pack has passed away and it is impossible for him to be resurrected. The ID card Chao Lingxi is using now is completely different from the one in the previous expansion pack, except for the name.
Yan Yongwang had already guessed this result, and at that time he did not make any comment on Lingxi's new ID card.
He saw Chen He's eyes wide open, so surprised that he was about to turn into the emoticon package [cat shocked.jpg].
"I'm well maintained, right?" Yan Yong laughed. He inexplicably thought it was fun to tease Chen He: "Do you want his contact information? I'll ask him to teach you the art of maintaining your beauty?"
Chen He refused: "No, when I'm in my forties, I just want to be a normal middle-aged person, not a 'monster' with a face as tender as a college student."
When Yan Yongwang heard Cun Chao Lingxi's evaluation, his face froze for a moment, but he restrained himself very quickly and returned to his usual calm look, as if nothing could frighten him.
There was no disturbance and he spoke calmly.
"He doesn't like you very much because he thinks that you and I are not yet one-inch-strong, so if we are together... people will think that we are one-inch-strong," Yan Yongwang couldn't continue, so he just frowned and said the whole thing, "He wants to monitor you next door to your house."
Chen He frowned, "Wait, I am single, but don't you have an inch?"
Yan Yongwang was interrupted before he finished speaking. After he interrupted, Yan Yongwang was also stunned. He repeated: "I have an inch? elephant?" When did he have an inch? elephant?
The thoughts in his mind were already growing wildly, and he heard Chen He said very naturally: "Last time you asked me about the brand of women's clothing, didn't you buy it for Cun Xiang?" Even going out for the fireworks festival should be with Cun Xiang, right? However, he didn't say this, after all, Yan Yongwang didn't intend to tell him at first, probably because he felt embarrassed, and he was kind and considerate, so he wouldn't ask about this specifically.
In the office, President Yan silently put up the documents and calmly covered his face with A4 paper.
Then, he said in a steady voice: "Things are not what you think."
Chen He did not step forward to stop him from hiding his face, otherwise he would have discovered that his boss was holding his forehead helplessly, rubbing his temples frantically, and looked like he had a huge headache.
"Things are not what I thought?" Chen He shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, "Whatever you say, I don't believe it anyway." He followed his wishes and stopped asking questions. He continued, "Well, you have no idea."
"Then the question is, even if we are the two of us..." He hooked his left and right index fingers together to indicate a close relationship. When he did this, his face looked a little uncomfortable. It was obvious that he was speechless and embarrassed that others imagined that he was with his boss. "What's Guan Chao Lingxi about?"
"He is over 40 years old this year. Could it be that he likes you too?" This explains why he came to find the boss - maybe Chao Lingxi is gay. In the Ling City Cemetery, he fell in love with his handsome and charming boss at first sight and followed him all the way to the capital.
As he talked, Chen He felt that it made sense.
"Boss, you have always been charming. Lin Shen likes you, and now there is another..."
Yan Yongwang interrupted him and said in a panic, "That's not the reason."
Chen He: "...?"
He paused, trying to change the subject, but failed. Anyway, under Shen He's bright eyes, he said frustratedly: "He just has... the mentality of an elder. He always thinks that I can't be with you, understand?"
Chen He saw the helplessness on Yan Yongwang's face, and the even more helpless emotion when he mentioned Chao Lingxi.
It was like Cun? Yu Chao Lingxi, he always had no way out.
He really had no choice. At least during these days, Chen He would sometimes inadvertently see Yan Yongwang typing very seriously or chatting with someone.
One day, his hands were shaking, and when he was handing in the documents, he turned on the voice call.
It was Chao Lingxi's voice.
Cold and gloomy, but through external expression, it seems to contain some gentle and light-as-cloud emotions.
He said seriously: "I ate the food you ordered for me last time today. I think it's delicious. Can we have dinner together next time?"
Just this one sentence.
It was enough to show that Chao Lingxi and Yan Yongwang had a close relationship in private. After Yan Yongwang released the voice, he looked at him at a loss. Chen He was a little shocked at the time, but he endured it and didn't ask any more questions.
They are all adults. Even though Chen He knows that he is Yan Yongwang's closest secretary, he can be said to be someone close to his relative.
But he still adheres to the principle of "don't ask, don't tell".
Unless... I really can't help it, then I'll ask.
Today, he really couldn't help it.
It has been about twenty days since Chao Lingxi came to the company last month.
Chen He was curious about how Yan Yongwang became acquainted with a man who was classified as a homeless person in Ling City.
I am even more curious about how Chao Lingxi went from being a homeless person to a man who can afford to buy a house in a decent manner.
(Although his boss did something to kick him out of his newly bought house.)
When asked by Chen He, Yan Yongwang selectively answered, he answered what he knew: "It is said that he has assets left to him by his relatives and friends."
"It's a lot."
Yan Yongwang had some guesses about the money - maybe it was left to him by his parents.
If what Chao Lingxi said was true and he was indeed Yan Chi's benefactor, then his father would not let his benefactor suffer any loss.
Leaving a sum of money behind was only the most basic operation. He later asked Chao Lingxi if his identity and household registration had been settled. Chao Lingxi took it out and showed it to him, his tone rising: "My ID card."
Then he said in distress: "I haven't received the household registration book yet, but——"
"You and I are on the same household registration book."
What he said was "morning fatigue".
However, Yan Yongwang quickly dampened his excitement: "Oh, the household registration booklet of 'Chao Juan' has been separated."
Chao Lingxi was shocked and incredulous, his voice almost trembling: "Why? I am, I am Chao Juan's father!"
Yan Yongwang looked at his ID card over and over again. On the ID card, Chao Lingxi's expression was indifferent, which was completely different from the lively and stupid guy in front of him who was trying hard to argue about "We? We should be in the same household registration book."
"Oh." He didn't look up, but just ran his finger across the photo of him on his ID card: Chao Lingxi with dark eyebrows and eyes, and Chao Lingxi with pale skin.
And at this moment, he tried his best to give his eyes to Chao Lingxi.
"We? Shouldn't we be in the same household registration book?"
Chao Lingxi looked confused and gently pushed Yan Yongwang, who was sitting on a chair and looking at his ID card, "Why aren't you here?"
When he speaks, his tone is always cold and indifferent, but because it is mixed with so many emotions, the coldness is reduced a lot and becomes very... very easy to make people feel soft-hearted.
Yan Yong replied: "Because Chao Lingxi died in the expansion pack."
Chao Lingxi: "...I'm not dead yet!" His tone was cold, but he was extremely angry!
Yan Yongwang couldn't help laughing: "That can't be helped. Who told you not to show up in the past few years?"
"My parents told me that Chao Juan's father had passed away, so I could use this identity without worry."
"And the ID card you are using now... should be new and has nothing to do with Chao Juan."
"If you had appeared ten years earlier," Yan Yongwang looked into his eyes. His pupils were dark and the shape of his eyes was very similar to his. He smiled slightly, "I think I might still call you dad."
Towards Lingxi: “…”
He had no way of answering why he didn't show up earlier and could only remain silent.
Chao Lingxi seemed very dissatisfied with the fact that Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan had killed him. After saying that, he whispered something to himself. The tone was strange, as if it was not written in this world.
Yan Yongwang actually felt that it was somewhat familiar - just like the song his father, Yan Chi, had sung for him.
In his memory, the tune of the ballad was fresh, gentle and lingering. He did not understand it when he was young, but now that he has grown up, when he recalls it, he feels that the words used in the ballad are somewhat similar to what Chao Lingxi is saying angrily at this moment.
Chao Lingxi was very angry that day, really very angry. He never thought that after he showed up, his child would tell him that they were not in the same household registration book!
However, Yan Yongwang's tone was still relaxed and pleasant, with a hint of mischief: "What do you think?"
Chao Lingxi: ...What can he feel?!
He just thought that Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan were both bastards!
Out of anger, Tian Chao Lingxi didn't sleep well, and the next day he clumsily searched on his mobile phone: How to put the two of them in the same household registration book.
The first popular answer below: After getting married and establishing a husband-and-wife relationship, the two are registered in the same household registration book.
Chao Lingxi said gloomily: What a bullshit idea!
So I immediately closed the search interface so that I wouldn’t be bothered by it.
Yan Yong was so arrogant that he had no idea what stupid thing Chao Lingxi did afterwards because he and "Chao Juan" were not in the same household registration book.
He answered Chen He very carefully at this moment, mostly to cover up for Chao Lingxi: "He later also had his own ID card."
"..." Chen He was sharp-minded and could sense the peculiarity of Yan Yongwangcun and Chao Lingxi. He clearly remembered that in the first few days after Chao Lingxi came to the company to look for someone, if he asked about Chao Lingxi, his boss would have an extremely annoyed expression.
These days are different.
Looks like a whole new person.
There is a glimmer in the eyes, like stars in the sky?
This was rare. After the death of Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan, his young master had never had such an expression. He was always tired and devoted to his work, persevering, as if he was proving? What - to prove to everyone that he could take over the Yan family well and that he could let his parents know about it in the afterlife.
Looking at Lingxi made a light appear in his eyes.
At this moment, he actually has some similarities with the young master from before.
Chen He's heart moved, and he suddenly didn't want to ask any more questions.
No matter what Chao Lingxi's purpose was in getting close to his boss, he believed Yan Yongwang would handle it properly. And if Chao Lingxi could make him happier, Shen He would even be willing to go and thank him in person.
He smiled, gentle and patient: "Well, then, boss, are you happy getting along with him?"
Yan Yongwang said coldly: "It's okay.
”
"You drove him away, so where does he live now?" Chen He suddenly thought of this again, and the kind secretary murmured, "It's not easy to buy a house these days. Even if I have money, I would probably have some spare money if I bought the house next door to mine in full."
You know, he had to work with Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan for three years to save up the down payment for that house.
Now I have to pay several thousand yuan in mortgage every month.
Worker Shen He felt very sorry for the homeowner who was driven out by his cruel boss just after buying the house.
He actually didn't care at all? He was shocked by his cold and defensive attitude.
Yan Yongwang: I don’t want to answer, but seeing Chen He’s relentless look, I have to answer.
He managed to say in a low voice, "I have a house in the city center."
Chen He: "Ouch!"
Yan Yongwang had a blank expression on his face. He glared at him, signaling him not to be so startled: "Anyway, let's give him the place to live for now."
Shen He continued: "Oh!"
Yan Yong was annoyed by his appearance and said fiercely, "Get out!"
Chen He became gloomy this time, he muttered quietly: "No, why do I feel like you, boss, are trying to support me?"
"A good-looking old man... and you keep him in your house obediently..."
"He wasn't unhappy, either?"
"…I've already told you that he is my elder!"
Chen He saw that Yan Yongwang was a little angry and embarrassed, so he sighed, "Okay, boss, as long as you are happy."
Before leaving the house and closing the door, he said one more sentence: "...you need to maintain a good relationship between men and women."
Well, at the end of the heart-to-heart talk, Shen Mi suspected that he and Chao Lingxi had some kind of improper relationship.
Some even thought he would have affairs with both men and women.
Yan Yongwang rubbed his temples with a cold face, and felt the headache that he hadn't had for a long time coming up again.
He found Chao Lingxi's WeChat ID and was thinking about what to send, but unfortunately he clicked on his profile picture and saw a message he had posted today.
It’s a photo of a calligraphy copybook.
The Chinese characters were written clumsily. Chao Lingxi used the most ordinary fountain pen, and the strokes were like those of an elementary school student.
Yan Yongwang gave him a thumbs up.
Soon, Chao Lingxi knocked him:
"Are you done yet?"
He probably doesn't have many friends in his address book, so when Yan Yongwang gave a like, he reacted quickly.
Yan Yongwang replied: "I'm very busy."
Towards the spiritual consensus:
"Then keep busy. I'm writing."
Does this mean that his liking of the post disturbed him?
Yan Yongwang turned off his phone and ignored him.
He immersed himself in his work and didn't pick up his phone again until it was time to get off work.
Then I saw Chao Lingxi send another message one minute after that one: "Writing your name."
"Look:" [Calligraphy Picture]
There were a few new lines of words written on the copybook, which looked like his name.
Yan Yongwang practiced very seriously, and his strokes did not seem so childish. He seemed to be very familiar with these Chinese characters "寸" (Inch). The ones shown to him were all ones he had written many times, and he thought they were the best looking.
"Did you see that?"
“…?”
“You’re not here?”
"Busy again, aren't you? Well, you go to work and I'll continue writing."
Half an hour later, Chao Lingxi sent another picture of the new calligraphy copybook.
He was truly gifted. In a short period of time, he learned regular script and wrote his name, the five characters, very beautifully and handsomely.
"Your name."
Yan Yongwang clicked on the photo and looked at it for a long time.
He saved it.
Then I replied to him: "Did you write anything today?"
The voice is steady and without any unnecessary emotions.
He also sent a voice message to Lingxi - he knew that Lingxi was busy with work, so he would send a text message to avoid disturbing him with the voice message. After all, voice message is the most inconvenient way of communication, and it is far slower than text in conveying information.
Although he is not good at using smartphones, his typing speed has improved over time.
"I also watched the new TV series."
"The story of the emperor and his concubine?"
Yan Yongwang's eyebrows moved, and he said, "Do you like to watch it?"
"It's okay, it's fake, but maybe... the emperors and concubines here are like this." Chao Lingxi said lightly. The conversation between them was maintained at a wonderful level of communication. Chao Lingxi sometimes let something slip, and Yan Yongwang couldn't tell whether he let it slip or was deliberately telling him something.
After saying this to Lingxi, he quickly asked, "Have you eaten?"
"…I'm off work, getting ready to go home."
Chao Lingxi immediately became interested: "I just learned a dish, do you want to come to my house for dinner?"
He looks very much looking forward to it?
Yan Yongwang stared at the company corridor, strode out, stepped into the elevator, and said, "No."
Chao Lingxi said slightly depressed: "Okay."
Yan Yongwang: "Next time, when you have learned ten dishes."
Chao Lingxi actually understood what he had said halfway, so she was happy again: "Okay."
They made a pact.
Outside the building, white-collar workers were rushing to the subway and bus stops after work. Yan Yongwang looked up at the evening in the capital.
The capital is about to enter winter in November. It is late autumn, and the trees along the streets are covered with frost, and the sky is dotted with dim clouds.
There is no moon today.
He put his phone back in his pocket and strode toward the parking lot.
Street lights were turned on along the street, and in the frosty late autumn, Yan Yongwang smelled a slightly cool breeze, as if foreshadowing that autumn was about to leave and winter was coming.
The tip of his nose felt a little cold, so he raised his palm to cover it.
I thought: It’s a bit cold in autumn. I wonder if there are any extra quilts in Chao Lingxi’s room.
——By the way, is he afraid of the cold?
Yan Yongwang pondered for a second, and thought that he was probably not afraid of the cold: a person who could stay in Lingshi Cemetery for more than ten days would feel cold when the dew was heavy at night, even if the weather was pleasant. But he lived to the time when he met him.
However, I still have to add some. Yan Yongwang thought on his way home, a person like him who is out of his mind probably doesn't know that he needs to put on more clothes and quilts when it gets cold in autumn.
As the normal person around him, Yan Yongwang had a hard time taking on the responsibility of taking care of the fool.
The author has something to say: The current relationship is like this: Chen He cares about and takes care of Yan Yongwang's daily life → Yan Yongwang "reluctantly" takes care of the life of the stupid Lingxi → Lingxi tries to care about and take care of Yan Yongwang's life, but is currently working hard to learn how to cook——
