Chapter 8
Dating?
Hearing these two words, Li Xingyuan was obviously stunned.
In his impression, dating is something that only two young lovers who like each other would do. With a relationship like his and Lin Sen... going on a date? No matter how he thought about it, it was ridiculous.
"No," he said.
Lin Sen asked: "Why?"
Li Xingyuan said: "I have to work."
"But tomorrow is Sunday," Lin Sen did not give up and continued, "It's fine if you work overtime today, but do you want to work overtime tomorrow? You don't have a single day off in a seven-day week."
"Um."
Lin Sen should have been angry when his date invitation was rejected, but at this moment he only felt heartbroken.
Because he knew Li Xingyuan's past, knew how he grew up in a repressive environment, and knew how much pressure he was under. So he couldn't blame Li Xingyuan.
In his eyes, Li Xingyuan was like an eagle pressed into a swamp, unable to escape. He even forgot that he had a pair of wings that should have allowed him to soar into the sky and enjoy life. He could only follow Li Wanhong's arrangements step by step.
Little did he know that this swamp would completely swallow him up.
Thinking of Li Xingyuan's ending in the book, Lin Sen's heart suddenly ached.
Since God allowed him to travel into the book and become the male god's wife, he must do his best to save Li Xingyuan!
"Li Xingyuan," Lin Sen grabbed his arm with both hands and shook it left and right, "Would you just accompany me for a day, please? There is always work to be done, but if you don't accompany me, I will get old very quickly. It would be a pity if you didn't take a few more glances at me while I am young and beautiful!"
Li Xingyuan didn't say anything, just lowered his head slightly and looked at his hand holding his arm. The sleeves of his shirt were wrinkled by him, but the wrinkles were unusually pleasing to the eye.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Sen started to talk nonsense: "If you don't accompany me, I will be angry and run away with the ball. I will definitely get lost and have nowhere to go in the heavy rain. I might even get hit by a car and lose my memory! Just wait for your wife to be buried in the crematorium!"
Li Xingyuan's mouth twitched: "What the hell is going on?"
Lin Sen said confidently: "That's how it's played in TV dramas!"
Li Xingyuan glanced at his flat belly and asked, "What ball are you running with?"
Lin Sen rolled his eyes, pointed at the basketball in his display case and said, "Your All-Star signed basketball."
Li Xingyuan: ...
"Okay, okay?" Lin Sen's face swayed in front of his eyes, blocking the computer screen, with an attitude of "I won't move away unless you agree."
Li Xingyuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I do have important work to do tomorrow and cannot delay it."
Lin Sen was very disappointed, his shoulders slumped: "Oh."
At that moment, Li Xingyuan felt that if Lin Sen had furry ears on his head, they would definitely collapse.
"But I can have breakfast with you," he added promptly.
"Really?" Lin Sen's eyes lit up, and Li Xingyuan seemed to see his ears stand up again.
Li Xingyuan nodded: "Really, if you can get up."
Lin Sen assured: "I will definitely get up! I will go to bed now. The first thing you do when you wake up tomorrow is to call me. Do you hear me?"
Li Xingyuan can have breakfast with him tomorrow, dinner with him the day after tomorrow, and fishing the day after tomorrow. Maybe in a few days he will enter his house and sleep with Li Xingyuan... No, he will sleep with him in bed!!
Hehe, just thinking about it makes me feel more excited!
Before Li Xingyuan could answer, he ran back to the bedroom happily.
Until the bright yellow color disappeared from his sight, Li Xingyuan finally couldn't help but chuckle, closed the computer, and returned to his room.
He had lived in this lifeless house for five years, and for the first time he felt a little lively.
When he came out of the shower, he saw a piece of paper in the crack of the door. It must have been stuffed in by someone again.
I picked it up and opened it. On it was written in dog-crawling handwriting: "Li Xingyuan, there is more to life than just work and making money. There are also stars and roses, hot soup and hugs."
"Life is short, why not give it a try?"
Li Xingyuan looked at these two lines of words, and suddenly a strange feeling rose in his heart, warm, sour, and numb. The missing piece in his heart seemed to be blown by the wind, echoing into a beautiful melody.
No one had ever told him to try other things, and he thought he had lost the qualifications.
.
Lin Sen was used to being a night owl. Going to bed early was a very unfamiliar thing for him, and waking up early was even more unfamiliar.
When he opened his eyes and saw the time on his phone, he was shocked: "Shit! It's already ten o'clock!!"
He stood up with one foot, and without even putting on his shoes, he went to look for Li Xingyuan: "Li Xingyuan!"
There was no one in the living room or bedroom. There was breakfast on the thermos mat on the table, along with a note.
"I called you three times this morning, but you answered twice and didn't get up."
"Ah————" Lin Sen grabbed his hair in regret, and his slightly long curly hair was messed up by him into a mess like a chicken coop.
Such a good opportunity to get along with each other was wasted like this.
He quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Li Xingyuan: "I'm applying to change my breakfast companionship to dinner."
Half a minute later, Li Xingyuan replied: "The application was approved."
"Yeah!!!" Lin Sen jumped up happily, twisted his butt, and danced as he went to brush his teeth.
In the office, Li Xingyuan looked at Lin Sen dancing with joy on the phone screen, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose slightly.
Assistant Liu, who had followed him for several years, thought he was dazzled because he had never seen Mr. Li smile!!!
I closed my eyes tightly, and when I opened them again, the smile on the boss's face had disappeared.
Assistant Liu thought to himself: It seems that the intensity of work has been too high recently and I am starting to have hallucinations.
When Li Xingyuan signed the document in his hand, his eyes would always look at the mobile phone next to him. Unfortunately, Assistant Liu could not see the phone screen.
You can't see the person sitting naked in the living room eating breakfast on the screen.
After signing the document, Li Xingyuan said, "Notify them that we will get off work at 7 o'clock tonight... No, 6 o'clock."
"Six...six o'clock???" Assistant Liu thought he had heard it wrong.
Li Xingyuan raised his eyes and asked: "Is there a problem?"
"No problem!" Assistant Liu replied immediately, "Absolutely no problem, President Li!"
After saying this, as if he was afraid that Mr. Li would go back on his word, he immediately went out to notify all departments.
The intensity of their work at Li's is well-known in the industry. They get off work at 6 o'clock, just like Chinese New Year. When the employees heard this, they were almost crying with excitement.
However, their salaries are also far ahead, and their overtime pay is three times that of their peers.
When they heard that work would end at 6 o'clock, some people cheered and some people were worried. The high overtime pay was gone just like that.
Lin Sen had nothing to do on the weekend, so he went out for a stroll, bought a bunch of clothes and shoes in the mall, played video games for a while, and watched some old men and women dance square dance.
It’s a pity that there are no Tianjin uncles diving, no crosstalk teahouses, and no aunties with high-top hair buns dancing.
He felt bored no matter how he played alone, so he rode a shared bicycle and unknowingly arrived near Li's Building.
Lin Sen took out his cell phone, took a selfie with the building as the background, and sent it to Li Xingyuan.
