Chapter 58
He Songgao said he would take him shopping. Roger thought it was somewhere, but it turned out to be the legendary Goose Market - Gnsemarkt. Roger knew there were many luxury stores here, such as Ai Lwei, Ai Mou Si, Bai Bai Feicui. Any store he picked would be a first-line brand.
Roger still remembered that He Songgao said, "I'll take you shopping." Instead of "Go there to buy things." His card was still with him. Roger asked him quietly, "What do you mean? Can I use your card to buy things?"
He Songgao said, "Yes." Damn
. Is he going to be rich? Roger walked towards Ai Mou Si across the street without saying a word. It's better to make a quick decision, lest the president regret it later! He went in and bought two bags, two scarves and a dazzling diamond-studded belt in one go. When he paid, he held the black card in front of the salesgirl and said proudly, "I want all of these!"
The salesgirl was Chinese. While swiping the card, she chatted enthusiastically with Roger: "Handsome, are you out playing with your boyfriend?"
"Yes!" Roger was happy and didn't care what she said at all. When she showed an ambiguous smile on her face, he realized what a serious question he had just answered. Fortunately, He Songgao was sitting in the VIP room to rest, otherwise he would have been so ashamed. He straightened his face and said to the salesgirl seriously, "He is my boss, we are here on a business trip."
Salesgirl: "Oh~" The ambiguity on her face became even stronger, "Great, where are we going next?"
"None of your business." Luo Jie glared at her fiercely, "We are colleagues, we are here on a business trip!"
"Okay, okay." The salesgirl coaxed, "I understand, I understand, handsome, you must be tired from shopping, do you want to rest here for a while and have some fruit and snacks?"
Luo Jie: "No need. Well," he said uncomfortably, "Go and call my boss to come out, we should leave."
"Yeah." The salesgirl covered her mouth and laughed, "I'll go call him now, welcome to come again next time."
After coming out, He Songgao looked at the bag in his hand and said, "I only bought this much?"
"Ah?" Luo Jie said in surprise while holding several bags, "Did I buy too little?" However, he couldn't really take advantage of his boss, so he showed them one by one to He Songgao, "Two bags, two scarves for my mom and my aunt, and a belt for my dad. I have already prepared everything."
"You didn't buy anything yourself?"
"I don't need them." Luo Jie said, "I am a frugal person and don't like luxury goods. Have you ever seen me use any famous brands?" Thinking about it, it seems that all the luxury goods he has are given by He Songgao, or won in the company's lottery. He is not interested in luxury goods. What other use does this thing have besides its high value? But he is happy to accept it when others give it to him, haha.
"Hmm." He Songgao seemed to be thinking about something. Suddenly, he asked Roger to follow him, "Let's go over there and take a look."
After a while, they stopped at the door of a store. Roger stared at the row of letters on the store sign that showed its nobility: "...If I remember correctly, this is the cheapest watch that costs one hundred thousand. That's the brand, right?"
"Go in and see if there's anything you like." He Songgao said, his tone so flat that it seemed as if he was saying "Go in and see if there's anything you like to eat."
Luo Jie laughed dryly: "No need." He looked at He Songgao, his expression became very complicated, "You don't want to support me, do you?"
"Support you?" He Songgao seemed to have heard a particularly funny joke, "Let you wash my clothes."
"?" Although he didn't understand what it meant, it was definitely not a good thing to say, "My only function is to wash clothes? You look down on me too much."
"Do you know what you have to do to be supported?"
"What?" Roger reacted quickly, his face flushed instantly, "Haha, I'm joking. Let's go, I'm not interested in watches!" In fact, he was afraid that if he accepted He Songgao's watch, he would really be supported by him. It was terrible. The president must be extraordinary. It is impossible for him to really buy the cheapest watch. How could he accept hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars casually? He wouldn't be able to pay it back even if he sold it!
He dragged He Songgao's arm and quickly left this place of trouble. He bought a bottle of perfume for Lulu and Qinqin at the perfume shop on the corner, and the shopping trip was temporarily over.
Back to the hotel. It was dark, just ten minutes past four. As soon as Roger got back, he lay on the bed in a daze: "It gets dark too early... Oh, right," he sat up suddenly, "We are going to Northern Europe now, won't it get dark even earlier there?" After all, it is in the Arctic Circle, and it is polar night in winter. "I can't imagine how to survive the winter without sunshine."
He Songgao stood in front of the closet to change clothes, "I'll get used to it in a day or two." He took off his coat, then his sweater, and there was a round-neck black warm coat inside. Just when Roger sighed, "The president is finally starting to warm up," he suddenly took off the last piece of clothing!
"..." Roger turned around silently and stared at the white curtains, "Why do you want to book a standard room? Can't you book a suite? There is no privacy at all."
"This is a suite." He Songgao said.
"The suite I'm talking about has two bedrooms, and you can close the door when you sleep."
"Why, are you afraid of what will happen at night?"
"Yeah." Luo Jie pretended to be calm, "I'm afraid you'll snore at night and keep me awake."
"It's not like we haven't slept together before," He Songgao said, "I don't snore."
"Well..." He didn't dare to move, his eyes almost poked a hole in the curtains, "Are you ready?"
"Yes."
Luo Jie turned his head, and he was indeed ready. He was wearing a gray sweater, which looked very refreshing. "You look good in light colors, why do you always dress yourself up as an old man?"
He Songgao was silent, "Old man?" He asked with a strong questioning tone, "Are you questioning my aesthetics."
"No." Luo Jie quickly added, "I mean you can try this younger style, very handsome, like the big warm man in the idol drama."
"Really." He Songgao frowned slightly and looked down at his sweater, "I will consider your suggestion."
"..." Luo Jie pinched his cheek and said, "Then I'll go change my clothes, shall we go downstairs for dinner?"
"Yes."
After changing clothes, he rested in the room for a while and went downstairs for dinner. The restaurant is He Songgao's, a seafood restaurant near the warehouse city, and the dishes are also He Songgao's, with complicated dishes and exquisite order. However, Luo Jie secretly wondered why there are so many couples. All I could see were couples. There were also individual mood lights on the tables. The lighting in the restaurant itself was very dim. Even with the lights on, I couldn't see where the food was.
"Is it delicious?" He Songgao asked.
"Hmm..." Roger used a small fork to pick up the dessert. At this moment, some inappropriate thoughts popped up in his mind, such as why they looked so much like a date.
Although it's not impossible to meet up with friends, and they didn't do anything intimate beyond friendship, but... He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, and he always felt awkward in his heart. Maybe it has something to do with the environment here. Really, why don't they choose a restaurant suitable for friends or family gatherings? It made him feel uncomfortable.
"I'm full." Luo Jie put down his fork and said, "Let's go home?"
"So soon?" He Songgao was a little surprised, "You don't seem to have eaten anything."
"How come you haven't eaten anything?" Luo Jie pointed to the empty plate on the table, "I ate most of it. You too, you are so big, but you have a small stomach. Don't you feel hungry?"
"Not bad." He Songgao wiped his mouth elegantly, "Let's go when you're full."
When he went out, he felt that everyone's eyes were focused on them. He consciously kept a distance from He Songgao until they walked to the street.
"What's wrong with you?" He Songgao noticed his abnormality.
"Nothing." Luo Jie said, looking at him innocently.
"You..." He Songgao hesitated to speak.
"What are you doing?" It was snowing again. Some cold snowflakes fell into his neck, freezing Luo Jie and shivering. "It's so cold, let's go back." He turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait." He Songgao called him, "Zip it up." He said, then grabbed Luo Jie's collar, helped him zip it up to the top, and put on his hat, "OK."
"..." Luo Jie turned his eyes away, "You too."
"What?"
"Your zipper is not zipped up either." Luo Jie said, "Ahem, it's the buttons that are not buttoned."
"Oh." He Songgao stood still, "You know how to reciprocate."
"What do you mean by reciprocity?" No, it's not what he understood. "
I'm zipping you up, so are you going to button mine?" He Songgao said, with a sly smile in his eyes.
"You wish." Luo Jie said, rolling his eyes at him, "You were the one who wanted to help me zip up, I'm not without hands." He said, pulling the zipper down, then pulling it up again, "See, I can zip it myself, you can also button it yourself."
"Okay." He Songgao said, with a regretful expression, "But I'm not cold, thank you for reminding me."
"... I'll freeze you to death." You're not cold, so you're just being stubborn.
At night, Luo Jie lay in bed and searched "If a person always deliberately creates physical contact, does it mean he likes it?" He Songgao was already asleep, and no one else in the world knew what he was searching for, but he still felt embarrassed and his heart was beating fast. There happened to be a post with a similar question, and an enthusiastic netizen gave the answer:
"It depends on the personality. If he/she has a cheerful and lively personality, physical contact may not have any other meaning. It is just to express that he/she is happy to play with you."
"How do you know he/she is doing it on purpose? You like him/her and you are thinking too much."
"The ones upstairs."
What the hell, Roger clicked on these two comments and thought to himself that it takes two to tango. If he/she is not so deliberate, why should I think too much?
Someone downstairs said it well:
"He must like you. If you don't like someone, why do you keep sticking to him/her? Because you can't help but like him/her."
See, there are still people in the world who think the same way as him/her! Roger was moved and gave this answer a thumbs up, then hid in the quilt and twisted around -
I said he liked me, although it was not 100%, but at least this guess was well-founded... Roger's face was reddened by the temperature in the quilt, and his heart was beating non-stop. He thought shyly, it's okay to like me, but can you not keep testing me? I'm a straight man and only like girls.
No, I have to find a chance to reject him.
"What are you doing? Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
The sudden voice startled Roger. He held his breath, and after his heartbeat became a little more stable, he calmly got out of the quilt. He Songgao was leaning against the wall, staring at him with a puzzled look on his face.
The light was on, and Luo Jie tried his best to look normal: "Well, I couldn't sleep, so I checked my phone and fell asleep right away."
"Go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow." He Songgao said, turning off the night light.
"Oh, okay."
Luo Jie lay back in bed, tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep two hours later.
