In mid-January, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital.
The white snow covered the roof.
When you walk from outdoors into the house, the temperature difference is very obvious.
The weather is getting colder, and office workers are welcoming winter again. They are craving for heating and want to curl up in bed and sleep the most.
In the office building, colleagues in the secretarial department looked around and asked quietly, "When will the chief secretary come back?"
"If I remember correctly, he won't be back until next week."
The colleague showed a sad expression: "Ah, I urgently need the help of the general secretary - I really don't want to go into the office in person and see the boss's cold face!"
Although the boss is really handsome, I don’t know why, he doesn’t seem to be in a very good mood in the past two days.
Yan Yongwang would never lose his temper at his employees. When he was angry, he would just keep it to himself.
Are you angry? You hold it in your heart and it shows on your face, making you look gloomy and cold, as if you don't want anyone to approach you.
Colleagues in the secretarial department didn't dare to look directly at the boss's cold face. Whenever this happened, they missed Chen He especially.
Secretary Shen is really a god. He is never afraid of the boss's cold face. Even under the boss's "death ray", he can still speak softly and gently, as if he didn't see the boss's indifference from the beginning.
Mo Mo was the highest-ranking secretary in the secretarial department besides Chen He. She watched her colleagues wailing and silently took out her phone and sent a message to Chen He.
"Brother Chen, has the boss been in a bad mood these past two days?"
Chen He responded quickly: "What?"
"I was on a business trip. Was he in a good mood before I left? Ah."
Mo Mo: "I don't know... My colleagues in the department are waiting for you to come back for help."
Chen He: "..."
He replied after a while: "I asked the boss, and he said nothing has happened recently."
Mo Mo thought, can the boss tell his favorite secretary why he is in a bad mood? Maybe he is in a bad mood because the secretary is on a business trip!
However, I cannot express this thought, for fear that Chen He would be speechless after hearing it.
The so-called CP-shipping is all private behavior. If you bring it up in front of the real person, you are seeking death.
Not to mention, both of them are superiors.
Mo Mo: "Eh, I don't know, Brother Chen, please contact the boss more often when you have time."
Another post: "The heating in the company is a bit insufficient recently. I feel like I'm being attacked by the cold."
Chen He saw the meaning behind her words and replied with a string of ellipsis: "..."
After a long time, he sent a message: "I will try to go back as soon as possible. Thank you for your help."
Mo Mo: "Actually, the boss has a cold face and doesn't lose his temper, so there's nothing to be afraid of. It's just that his aura is a little scary."
"As an ordinary person, it's really hard to bear."
Chen He sent a message: "Understanding."
Mo Mo turned off his phone and looked at his colleagues who were still sighing. He said, "The chief secretary said he would try to come back early."
After a pause, he said, "As for us, we just need to do our secretarial work. After all, the boss didn't lose his temper with us, right?"
The colleagues all agreed, but they were still frowning: "But when the boss has a cold face, his aura is too strong... When you get close to him, you feel--"
Several people looked at each other and said in unison: "Good? Scary!"
Mo Mo stared at his colleagues after saying this and thought, well, as ordinary people, we can only ship CPs and work honestly.
Mo Mo felt from the bottom of his heart that the person who could face the boss's cold face was a warrior - and Chen He was the warrior among warriors!
==
Besides Chen He, there is another person who can face Yan Yongwang's cold face.
Chao Lingxi accepted Yan Yongwang's cold face very naturally. At the beginning of the contact, she was not afraid at all. She could even be said to be shameless and came up to him and spoke to him warmly.
And once he changes his identity and becomes "Chao Juan", his daughter's cold face will be a hundred times better than his son's!
Because when my daughter is angry, her eyelids droop, her eyelashes are thick, like small fans, her eyes are cold, and she looks at people tiredly.
It is a feeling of world-weariness, detached from the mundane world, and ethereal, but because her pupils are extremely bright when she looks at people, it makes people feel like a goddess who has descended to the mortal world and is contaminated by the worldly air.
He liked her to laugh, and he also liked her not to laugh.
In short, Chao Lingxi likes her children no matter what they are like.
…
His love was passionate and tender. It existed in a cold shell, overflowing with a volcanic and passionate warmth. If you reached out to touch it, you would almost get burned.
He loves too much, loves Yan Yongwang, and loves Chao Juan.
Love that face that is similar to his when he looks at people indifferently, with a beautiful and majestic appearance, naturally noble, looking down from a high position, with a dignified temperament.
I love her smile, like spring flowers blooming, peach blossom eyes, pink lips, and bright eyes when she looks down on people. She is gentle when she smiles, and cold when she doesn't smile, a standard beauty.
…
Chao Lingxi knew from the beginning that parents' love for their children might be without reason and come from blood ties, but children's love for their parents is not necessarily the same.
Not to mention, he was just a father who came long late.
He stared for a long time at the bunch of dried flowers placed in the room, sunflowers, a brilliant bright yellow color.
Once upon a time, long and distant, he wore a bright yellow dragon robe, looking at the world with cold and murderous eyes and eyebrows.
The world belongs to him.
He was a prince who grew up surrounded by flowers and possessed the ultimate wealth in the world, like a peony and clouds.
Splendid palaces, rubies, jades, and gold powder were nothing more than this to him.
He once stepped on gold bricks and threw away jade in a ridiculous way. In the palace, he held the tribute South Pearls and threw them into the pond for fun, saying that he wanted to feed the fish. So the priceless South Pearls were dumped into the pond by him, accompanied by the golden and red fish.
He passed through silk that was as soft and delicate as mist and worth a fortune. He sprinkled ink on it for fun and painted randomly, ruining countless pieces of silk.
His life was full of brilliance. From the very beginning, he was the only most gorgeous and brilliant flower in the world.
There is no flowering period.
If he wanted, he could drive on for a long time, arrogantly, and live a life that belonged to him and to Chao Lingxi.
But then?
Chao Lingxi felt the long-lost dull pain, and he slowly raised his hands to cover his eyes.
He thought that he was still not liked by others as he was then.
He had watched "The Ruthless Road" many times. In the beginning, he was surprised at Ding Xuance's background, and was slightly moved by the relationship between Ding Xuance and Lin Linyue. Later, he read in silence until he had his own part.
Everything is just as described.
You Xiao, a typical villain.
He has selfish desires and righteousness, but selfish desires are more important. Although he wants to ascend to heaven and use the companion stone to break through the boundary wall, it can be said that he has brought good news to all the monks in the world - this move is for the greater good.
But from the beginning, he had always harbored a dislike for the monks' amorous and lustful nature, and felt from the bottom of his heart that only the ruthless path could change everything.
Even if there is righteousness, it is based on his selfish desires and evil intentions.
In ancient books, the companion stone can absorb emotions and desires, and can be used to save the immortality path of the cultivators in this world.
He initially thought that the reason why the walls of this world were too thick was because the seven emotions and six desires in this world were too strong. Because of emotions and desires, mortals quarreled and monks were in chaos.
In this case, the existence of the companion stone is killing two birds with one stone. He can use the stone to gain strength and practice his own ruthless way, allowing all cultivators in the world to abandon love and desire, achieve the Tao, and make his cultivation even better; he can also break through the boundary wall and look forward to the path of immortality.
He wanted to prove his Dao, prove the "ruthless Dao", and also wanted to break through the boundary wall and hope for immortality. So he went through untold hardships to find the companion stone, preparing for the breakthrough to Mahayana perfection many years later.
The companion stone is a treasure that he has cherished for many, many years.
It has been with him for many years. Whenever he is distressed, he strokes its surface with his fingers and always feels that the stone can speak.
But in fact, stones can't speak.
It is always permanent, stable, and exists without change.
After he got the companion stone, he got drunk one day and accidentally dropped it into the brazier, where it burned for a day and a night.
When I woke up the next day, I searched frantically and finally found the stone among the ashes.
If stones could talk, I'm afraid they would put their hands on their hips, point their fingers at him and angrily curse him for having a mental problem.
Stone is a treasure that was born from the chaotic air when the world was first created.
Indestructible, not afraid of water or fire.
Another time, he passed by a cold pond. He was so absorbed in looking at the newly blossoming plum blossoms in the distance that he accidentally dropped a stone into the pond.
It must have been several hours before he finally took the stone out of the water dejectedly.
The stone is not afraid of anything. Even if it is burned by fire for a night, there will be no cracks. If it is soaked in cold water, it will naturally not be damaged.
But at that time he felt inexplicably guilty.
He didn't even have time to wait for it to warm up. He put the cold thing into his chest without saying a word. After it was warmed up, he found a small bag to put it in and hid it in his arms.
…
Chao Lingxi opened the voice message on his phone again.
"...He is a little silly. He doesn't know how to cherish until he loses it."
Yes, he is a fool.
Chao Lingxi thought wearily, he was a fool.
Even in the novel "The Ruthless Way", the story about him is written without too much emotion, and the words used are rarely harsh and sarcastic.
But from the perspective of the protagonists, he is just a fool who learns to cherish things only after he loses them.
Ding Xuance once asked him, Mr. You, do you regret it?
At that time, he had already regretted it. When he borrowed the power of the companion stone and tried to recall the companion stone, there was no response. He felt the panic and uneasiness that he had not felt for a long time.
It felt like a piece of flesh was being dug out from my heart.
The pain was only an appearance, there was something even more maddening. When he was absent-minded, he often imagined that there was a stone in the treasure bag in his arms.
At that time, he was already the highest Mahayana cultivator in the world, possessing the power to move mountains and seas. Even if he shed tears and wailed, the Heaven would tremble.
So even fantasy endangers the entire world.
…
Yan Yongwang calmly left work and received a call from Chen He: "Boss, how are you today?"
He looked at the number on the elevator, which was slowly getting smaller.
He breathed slowly and asked, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"My colleagues said that you looked unhappy today."
January seventeenth.
It was only two days after the annual meeting, and the boss was inexplicably in a bad mood. It was really strange. Chen He felt that it shouldn't be like this. After all, the stock price had been rising recently, and the boss's evaluation on the Internet was getting higher and higher.
Before he made the call, he thought carefully about what had happened to his boss recently.
A while ago, the man who climbed the bed died suddenly for no apparent reason. The bodyguards around the boss stayed for a while before leaving. There is no need to worry about security. The villa area where the Yan family villa is located has sound and complete security measures. Many luxury families choose to buy villas there. There is also a nationally famous security company boss in the villa area.
The boss provided security for the villa complex, followed up on network development, conducted new debugging every year, and hired a reliable programming team to prevent hackers from breaking into the villa complex's system and causing losses to the villa owners.
The company's security is also very complete. It is located in the CBD, surrounded by prosperous business districts, and the capital city is only a ten- to twenty-minute drive away. To be honest, there is really no danger.
However, the boss is still very cautious and all employees have to use their pupils to unlock when entering and leaving to prevent outsiders from entering.
Joey’s “sudden death” was the biggest thing that had happened recently, and it was something that Shen He had always kept in mind.
He thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out what else had happened to his boss that made him in such a bad mood.
So he just called to say hello.
"I'm fine. How about you? How was your business trip?" Chen He went on a business trip after the annual meeting. The schedule was rushed. Basically, he went to the airport that night, waited for the early morning flight, and flew directly to another place.
When on a business trip, he needs to stay out of town for a few days. Yan Yongwang has already adapted very well to his secretary's work schedule.
The elevator door opens.
Chen He said: "I am fine. It's no different from any other business trip. I'm just worried about you."
"You are not in a good mood," Yan Yongwang heard him and wanted to refute. Before he could say anything, he heard Chen He said seriously, "I have known you for so many years, but you can't just lie to me."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Yan Yongwang walked towards the parking lot. He didn't feel like driving today, so he pressed the sun and asked the driver to take him back.
In the back seat, with drooping eyelashes, he said coldly: "If a friend is inexplicably sad and lost, and you can't get an answer no matter how hard you ask, what would you do?"
Chen He: "A friend you care about? Who?"
He missed the point for a second, and hearing Yan Yongwang's silence, he knew that his boss might not be happy to talk about it, so he smiled, let him go, and just told him his own experience.
"You know, I have a lot of friends."
Yan Yongwang raised his eyebrows and thought, is he showing off or what?
Chen Heke had no intention of showing off, but as a person with good interpersonal relationships and strong social skills, he could easily exchange contact information with strangers and become friends even if he was walking on the street.
It can be said that he has a wealth of experience, which comes from dealing with many people over the years.
"Have you met that friend?"
Yan Yongwang was depressed: "No."
"If you want to comfort someone, comfort them face to face. Caring needs to be expressed through actions and words."
"By the way, I forgot to ask, are you and your friend just good friends, or..." Chen He paused, "If it's more than friendship, please don't be careless and go meet him in person."
"A hug will make the other person feel warm."
The more Yan Yongwang listened, the more he felt something was not right: he felt that Chen He must have misunderstood something.
It couldn't be a misunderstanding. The friend he was talking about was the "object" that Chen He inexplicably thought he had and forced on him, right?
"...No? It's a woman."
Yan Yongwang could only say, "It's not what you think."
Chen He laughed: "Okay? Sorry, if it's a male friend, I suggest you give him a call as well?"
"Just like I care about your condition, I called to ask about it."
Chen He's voice was gentle and patient, teaching his boss to...
How to deal with it well? Interpersonal relationships.
Finally, he added: "No matter what, I wish your friend will be happy again."
"Also, boss, next time you feel unhappy, you can call me. I have been eating for a few more years than you. Although I can't beat you in business, I can still teach you something in other aspects."
Yan Yongwang said sullenly: "Okay? Thank you."
"Take care of your health when you are on a business trip, don't skip meals or drinks, and all expenses will be reimbursed."
Chen He smiled: "I know, I am not the kind of person who would mistreat myself."
"By the way, if you feel that calling still doesn't comfort your friend, use the method I mentioned above. Although it is applicable to the person you are talking to, it can also be applied to your friends." Chen He naturally didn't know that the "friend" Yan Yongwang mentioned was actually his "biological father". Because it was not easy to say "relative", he had to use "friend". However, his opinion was obviously very reasonable. "Bring something he likes and go meet him."
"Okay, I'm going to get busy."
"I hope that when I come back, the company's heating will be working and my colleagues won't be howling with cold."
Yan Yongwang: “…”
He understood the implication of his words.
Unfortunately, the call was hung up. I couldn’t refute him and could only hold my forehead and sigh.
The driver was driving in front, and seeing the boss sigh, he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Yan, what's wrong?"
Yan Yong said nothing.
After a while, he checked the time and said to the driver, "Let's go to the flower shop."
Driver: "Okay!" After being confused for a second, he didn't ask any more questions and went to the flower shop as the boss suggested.
The flower shop the driver drove to was the most expensive flower shop in the capital's business district. It was very large and had many varieties of flowers. It also had the most popular doll bouquets on the Internet.
Yan Yongwang picked a bouquet of dolls.
He still remembered the last time that Chengpin He gave Chao Juan a bouquet of stuffed kittens. The kittens were so cute that he thought that if Chen He got angry in the future, he could buy a bouquet to appease him. But he didn't expect that the first person to be appeased was not Chen He, but Chao Lingxi.
The shop owner recognized his face and was flattered that Mr. Yan came to the store in person to purchase a bouquet of flowers.
The young shop owner cautiously asked if he could sign his name. Yan Yongwang agreed, signed his name on a non-blank paper, and wished the shop more and more prosperous.
The shop owner was so happy that he almost jumped up holding the autograph, and asked, "Mr. Yan, who are you giving these flowers to?"
He looked at the bouquet of dolls in his hand. The dolls were in the shape of small animals and looked cute. They could be taken apart and hung on keys, or you could stick a magnet on the back and stick them on the refrigerator as refrigerator magnets.
It can even be removed and hung inside the car as a pendant.
In short, the doll bouquets sold in high-end flower shops are not ordinary online purchases. I wonder if any of the internet celebrity dolls have been granted copyright.
Every little animal is very cute. The rabbit has long ears, the puppy has black and bright eyes, the bear has a pink nose, and even the bird has delicate wing textures.
Yan Yongwang felt that Chao Lingxi would definitely like this gift.
"For relatives." Of course, you can speak directly to strangers. After all, outsiders are not like Chen He, who knows that he actually has no other relatives. The media has revealed information about the Yan family, and there are distant relatives, but in fact, those relatives who are so close to each other in reality have never come to visit.
"Wow, Mr. Yan is so thoughtful. Children love this kind of bouquet the most. Many of our customers send bouquets to their own children."
Yan Yong thought for a second and thought, that’s about the same, Chao Lingxi is just like a child.
He didn't explain any more and just nodded slightly.
Yan Yongwang got into the car and asked the driver to take him to Chao Lingxi's current address.
Driver: "Hello sir, do you want to go back to the villa later?"
If you go back, the driver will be waiting downstairs.
"...You should go back first."
After Yan Yongwang finished speaking, he looked at the bustling street scene outside the car window. He silently recalled the brief exchange with Chao Lingxi that night at the annual meeting.
After finishing the "Stupid Man Theory", Chao Lingxi seemed extremely sad and tired.
He should have asked him at that time to get the secret he wanted to know. But it was inexplicable - it was really inexplicable. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was afraid that the truth would hurt others or he felt that Chao Lingxi was so pitiful.
He suppressed his confusion and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
To Lingxi: "...I'm fine."
In the next two days, Chao Lingxi seemed to become very depressed and he seldom sent messages personally.
Yan Yongwang called him once. When he picked up the phone, he sounded tired and confused, and said he was sleeping.
As if sleeping can help me escape from something.
Yan Yongwang was almost laughing out of anger at that time. He thought, Chao Lingxi - a guy completely different from ordinary people, who can almost survive without eating, has no sense of cold or heat, and even gets little sleep.
What was she trying to escape from? She had been falling into deep sleep for the past two days and even had less time to talk to him?
Yan Yongwang was very angry. He was so angry that he decided to come to the door in person.
Just like Chen He said, no matter what, he had to talk to him face to face.
…
I knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Well? There was his fingerprint on the door lock. Yan Yongwang held the bouquet of dolls in one hand and pushed open the door with the other.
The heater was on indoors, but because the balcony door was wide open, the cold wind made the air temperature drop, and the thick snow piled up on the balcony like a hard armor.
"Chao Lingxi." Yan Yongwang stepped on the floor and found that the furnishings in this room were very exquisite and beautiful.
It is a completely different feeling from the standardized style of home at the beginning.
There are no fish in the fish tank in the living room, but there are beautiful shells and conchs. There is a light in it, and the switch is turned on, and the light flickers. There are landscape paintings on the wall, which are quite nice, and look like template paintings purchased online.
There was also a flower pot on the balcony with no flowers in it, but with mud inside. The placement of the flower pot was not very good, half of it was buried in the snow, and the black mud and white snow contrasted with each other. It was a bit ugly, and Yan Yongwang frowned as he looked at it, thinking about asking Chao Lingxi to get rid of this flower pot later.
Or maybe he could just send him a few pots of flowers.
Thoughts kept turning in my mind - I wasn't short of money, so why should I keep a flower pot?
"Telepathy."
Yan Yongwang pushed open the bedroom door and saw someone sleeping under the quilt.
He slowly and melancholy emerged from under the quilt.
On the table was a bunch of bright dried sunflowers, bright yellow, a yellow that would make one feel happy.
Chao Lingxi's hair had grown longer and was messily hanging on his forehead. When she saw him, she responded in a low voice.
His face was very pale, his eyes were very dark. When I met his eyes, I felt dumbfounded.
"You don't look too well."
Chao Lingxi looked at him blankly for a moment, then nodded.
He saw him walk up to him and put his hand on his forehead. It was warm - just like the warm stone he had dug out from the ashes when he was drunk.
It's so hot that it makes people want to cry.
Chao Lingxi looked at him greedily, at that handsome face that was somewhat similar to his. He thought, he knew nothing, so he could easily approach him and greet him with concern.
If he knew the truth... would he still be so close to him?
I don’t dare to think about it, so I keep silent.
Then, he heard a deep sigh from his nose: "No fever."
Chao Lingxi thought, how could he have a fever? He was just too tired and didn't know what to say or do, so he stayed at home for two days.
"... like a child, so annoying."
Chao Lingxi thought a little aggrievedly, he really, really doesn't like her.
Before she could react, he stuffed something into her arms.
A bouquet of dolls appeared in front of Lingxi, and she stared at the little animals on it.
"Hurry up and get up," he patted his shoulder coldly, "You're a grown man, what's the point of saying that?"
"I'm giving you flowers, but you don't want to keep a straight face. It's so ugly."
The author has something to say: Yan Yan, a single person who has never been in a relationship, has mastered the skill of comforting others.
Here are some tips to share:
①Transfer money.
②Send flowers.
Everyone is welcome to learn Yan Yan’s little tricks to coax people.
