Chapter 38
On Monday morning, Luo Jie received a call from the nanny of He Songgao's family, saying that someone had sent a courier to the boss's house, it was a cash on delivery, insured package, and the boss had not told her, so she didn't dare to sign for it. Luo Jie said, "Please wait, I'll ask President He." After going to the president's office to ask, he found out that it was sent by the president's brother. He didn't know why it was sent cash on delivery. Luo Jie called the nanny back and asked her to sign for it first, and he would transfer the money to her later. As the president
's secretary, Luo Jie is used to escorting the president's life. In fact, many times, many people don't look for the president first when they have something to do, but for him, the secretary. Including but not limited to the president's nanny, driver, fitness coach, nutritionist, financial consultant... He gradually turned the secretary into the chief eunuch. Although sometimes he would feel annoyed, he was more proud and proud, and had a sweet feeling of burden. Being needed is always the most satisfying thing in the world.
Although the president said that he was an empty-headed idiot that night, the president could not leave this empty-headed idiot. After all, once he left, the president's life would be in chaos.
I don't know if it was his illusion recently, but I always felt that He Songgao's attitude towards him was much better. This kind of friendly attitude is reflected in various aspects. Let me give you a few examples: First, he has become responsive to everything. In the past, when Luo Jie had something to ask He Songgao or reported to him about work, he would choose the answers he wanted to answer, and ignore Luo Jie when he didn't want to answer. But now, even if it is a very small matter, so small that he doesn't need to reply specifically, he will say, "Okay." Or, "Got it."
In addition, he no longer has a cold face. In the past, Luo Jie always couldn't figure out how he had offended him, and he would always have an icy face that would freeze people to death. As a result, he could only act with his tail between his legs, and he also learned to be hypocritical and evasive, and what he said was completely different from what he thought in his heart. But now, the president treated him as warmly as the spring breeze, and even cared about whether he had eaten enough at noon. The original words were like this: "What did you eat at noon?"
After finishing his meal, Roger was sitting at his workstation to rest. He was stunned when he saw this: "I ate the same as you, what's the matter?" Did he think the food was not good?
"It's so bad, are you full?"
Uh, why didn't he just say it was bad? He could just go to another restaurant next time. Roger apologized to him immediately: "I'm sorry, this is my first time ordering from this restaurant too, I'll go to another restaurant next time."
"It's OK."
"?" Is it OK or not? "
No problem. Are you full?"
Inexplicably. Luo Jie said, "What if I don't eat enough?"
"Take you out to eat."
Oh my god, what happened? Was the president really taken away by someone, or has the earth exploded and restarted? Luo Jie said in disbelief, "Don't do this, I'm scared."
"?" Now it was He Songgao's turn to ask questions.
"You're too good to me, I'm not used to it."
"Is this good to you? You have such low standards."
"Or do you have some purpose, pretending to be good to me first? And then do something big." Luo Jie made a crying expression, "Please don't do this, I'm afraid I can't bear it."
"Think too much." He Songgao said, "Do I have so much free time?"
Yes, after all, the president is very busy. Maybe he really realized that he was too bad to his secretary in the past, and now he wants to make up for it. Roger confirmed again: "Is there really no conspiracy?"
"."
You use the period as "oh", right? Roger said: "Then I'll believe you."
"Yeah."
In the end, they still didn't go out to eat, because Roger was very full at lunch, he felt it was delicious, but the president didn't like it. Alas, in fact, he is still as difficult to deal with, just a little softer.
The departure date of the European trip is just around the corner, and Roger has also started to get busy. There are many things that need to be coordinated with the administrative department, which requires him to go down to hold meetings and discuss repeatedly, and he is often not in the office. The president called him and asked, "Where are you?"
Roger said, "I'm in a meeting."
"Come up for a minute."
Roger had no choice but to go up, but the president's computer suddenly couldn't connect to the printer. Roger said helplessly, "You can just ask Lulu for this matter, why do you have to ask me to come up?"
"Isn't she your assistant?"
"She's yours too!"
He Songgao said dissatisfiedly, "The company doesn't allow skipping levels to report." After saying that, he also felt that it was wrong, and added, "It's not allowed to skip levels to command."
Roger was speechless. It actually made some sense! He resigned himself to repairing He Songgao's printer, and only went back to the meeting after it was repaired.
Did you see it? This is also a change. The president seems to have suddenly become clingy. Although this is also a sign of trust, can you not do it so frequently? It is annoying to be called by your boss all the time.
He went out with He Songgao for a social event that day. The restaurant was in an art district in the suburbs. It was said that the host liked art, especially neo-abstract art, and presented He Songgao with an abstract painting. However, Roger had no artistic background and could not understand the abstractness of the painting. Maybe he was more abstract.
Halfway through the meal, Roger wanted to go to the bathroom. He and He Songgao got up at the same time, so they went to the bathroom together.
Luo Jie whispered, "Why did you drink so much? You'll be drunk soon."
He Songgao said, "It's okay. The alcohol content is not high."
"You should drink less. I can't carry you if you're drunk."
"Thank you. Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself."
Tsk tsk, he was being too sentimental again.
At the door of the bathroom, Luo Jie poked He Songgao, "Well, you go in first."
He Songgao stopped and looked at him, "Why?"
"Don't you know how to avoid suspicion?" Luo Jie stammered, "Although we are both men, but, well, you are that, I'm straight, it's not good to be naked like this."
"It's not like I haven't seen it before." He Songgao said shockingly.
Luo Jie was so scared that he held his urine back: "What are you talking about! Damn, you can't secretly..."
"Heh." He Songgao snorted coldly, "Did you lose your memory? Who was the one who took off his clothes in front of me before?"
"..." Luo Jie was stunned. This, this, seems to be the case. But, he was the one who lied to himself that he was a straight man at that time! Thinking of this, Luo Jie was still a little angry, "Then why didn't you tell me that you like men before? If you said it, would there be no next thing? In the final analysis, it's still your problem."
"...It's my problem." He Songgao said, "I apologize, okay."
At this time, a man came out of the bathroom. He stared at He Songgao with a strange expression. When he approached, he avoided He Songgao as if he was avoiding something, and muttered: "Homosexuals are so unlucky!"
Luo Jie had sharp ears and heard it. He went up to argue with the man: "Who are you saying is unlucky!"
He wanted to go up to fight, but was grabbed by He Songgao, "Come back. Can you beat him?"
The man saw Luo Jie and He Songgao and ran away.
Luo Jie said angrily: "What era is it? There is still such prejudice. He should be beaten and he will be obedient!"
He Songgao said with a smile: "Weren't you like this before?"
"I..." Luo Jie wanted to refute, but found that he couldn't refute. It seemed that he was like this before. His face turned red. "Was I so annoying before? Sorry, I may not mean it. Is it too late to apologize to you now?"
"It's too late." He Songgao said generously.
"Then go to the toilet quickly, you go first, I'll watch you outside!"
"...Is it necessary to do this?"
"Of course. You are not the only homosexual in the world. What if someone with bad intentions peeks at you?" I am protecting your chastity, do you understand?
He Songgao couldn't help laughing: "Then please do as you please, I'm going in."
After going to the toilet, he went back to eat. This kind of socializing is the most annoying. I really don't know why business must be discussed at the wine table. Can you still make the correct judgment when you are drunk? I don't understand, maybe the bosses have this special ability.
The meal lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening. In the second half, they almost stopped drinking and chatted. There were a lot of people. He Songgao dealt with them for a while, then left and said he wanted to go home. Roger couldn't wait and followed He Songgao.
It was snowing when they came out. Roger was still drunk and shivered from the cold. Parking was not allowed in the street, so they walked to the parking lot.
As they walked, it felt like the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and their vision was almost completely blocked. Roger pulled He Songgao to hide under the eaves: "Let's wait until the snow is lighter before we go." As he said this, he noticed He Songgao's clothes. As a man (a gay man), He Songgao really cared too much about his image. He always wears a conservative three-piece suit, whether in summer or winter. In winter, he wears a thicker material and a dark cashmere coat. He looks handsome, but he looks freezing.
He couldn't help but ask, "Are you cold? Do you want me to lend you my scarf?" He was wearing a thick down jacket and a thick wool scarf today. He looked like a tightly wrapped silkworm baby.
"No need." He Songgao said, "I'm not cold."
Luo Jie moved his stiff fingers and said admiringly, "No one is more resistant to cold than you. And heat."
The street was very quiet, no one was around, and only a few street lights were still shining with warm yellow light.
Luo Jie suddenly thought of something, he turned his head and stared at He Songgao curiously.
He Songgao said, "What's wrong?"
"Um..." Luo Jie hesitated, not knowing whether he should ask this question.
-- He hasn't been out on dates recently? The gossip president's private life seems to be a little bit bad, but as a person who just broke up, he still cares about other people's emotional status. He asked He Songgao: "Recently, things haven't been going well between you and the person you've been dating?"
He Songgao looked down at him: "Why are you asking this?"
"Just to show my concern." Roger sighed, "You have more experience in this matter. What do you do after breaking up?"
"Nothing." He Songgao said, "After all, I have never been cheated."
"..." Roger felt that he was hit in a sore spot, and said angrily, "Being cheated is not something you can control. No, it should be said that you can't control liking someone. When I like someone, I don't care whether I will be cheated or not, and I only focus on her."
"Because you are a pig." He Songgao said objectively.
Roger paused and found that he had no reason to refute. In this matter, "Even if I am a pig, I am a good-looking pig."
"What's the use of being good-looking? You will be killed during the Chinese New Year."
"Haha, then you don't have to buy pork during the Chinese New Year." Heavy snow flew in from under the eaves at an angle. Some snowflakes were standing on Roger's hair and face. His body temperature was too low, and the snow did not melt when it fell on him. "Let me ask you, what does it feel like to have a relationship with the same sex? Is there any difference with the opposite sex?"
"I've never had a relationship with the opposite sex, so I don't know."
"What about the same sex?"
Roger thought of Youyou and her annoying lover. Although girls are sweet and soft, none of them is unlovable. But he had an indescribable disgust towards Esther. Why would anyone like a man who was not strong and a woman who was not attractive? He didn't understand.
"The feeling of love."
Isn't that the same as not answering at all? Roger found that he always fooled himself like this: "Of course I know it's the feeling of love. What does love feel like?"
"That's it." He Songgao said calmly, as if he didn't have that kind of human desire.
"At least it's a feeling of liking." Roger said, wondering what men can talk about. If you ask him, men are born to be with women. Their genders match, they are naturally attracted to each other, and they will reproduce and form a family together. From then on, human life will continue. This is the universal law of nature.
"Yeah."
Roger looked at He Songgao's face, which was full of desire and extreme sexual indifference. He couldn't imagine how he treated the person he liked. At this moment, he really had a doubt, wondering if He Songgao didn't have the kind of feeling that humans like each other. After all, he had seen the president's love, which was very ordinary, so ordinary that he suddenly had a lover. He had never seen him happy and joyful in love. He broke up with someone today and broke up tomorrow. It seemed that love was just a seasoning of life for him. He would talk when he was lonely, break up when he was bored, and find the next one when he didn't like someone anymore. This is actually very good. If you don't take love so seriously, you won't be easily hurt.
"I really envy you. I'm just too deeply in love, otherwise I wouldn't be so hurt." Roger said with a sigh.
"Don't talk about your love anymore, it's too stupid, I don't want to hear it." He Song frowned and said coldly.
"I can't even share it with you?" Even if I listen, it won't bother my ears, it's really heartless!
"If I share, share something normal. I'm afraid that listening to these will affect the normal development of my IQ."
"You still despise me, but I don't despise you." Luo Jie looked at him angrily, "You are in love with a man, and a man who is not manly at all, so what's the difference between you and a woman?"
He Songgao said coldly, "With your IQ, you can't understand the feelings between men."
"Then tell me, what kind of feelings are they?"
If the snow is not falling lightly, there will be no sound, but at this moment, the sky is snowing heavily, and the sound of those snowflakes brushing the air, brushing against their own kind, and gently falling on the eaves and windows is particularly clear in the night.
There is no one on the road, only the two of them, Luo Jie's face is red from the cold, the tip of his nose is also red, and there is some clear water light in his eyes.
He Songgao turned his head and looked at the quiet snow scene: "It has nothing to do with gender, and does not consider realistic factors. It is just that you are simply attracted by his soul, and you can't resist... a feeling as pure as snow."
