Holiday time always passes so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's time to go back to work again.
On the first day of work in the new year, everyone more or less suffered from the "work syndrome". One or two of them were whining in the office, staying at home and not wanting to go out to work.
Yanran was better off. She was very fond of knife skills and liked the feeling of the blade cutting through contaminants, so she accepted the task early on.
Yuan Xue and Lin Mo were different. They were holding Xiao Mi and counting the days until their next vacation.
Finally, Chu Zehuai, who couldn't bear it any longer, gave each of them a task.
Yuan Xue took Xiao Mi to find Su Zi. Calculating the time, it was time for Xiao Mi to meet its owner and take a happy walk outside.
Lin Mo was given a task to clear insect pollutants from the woods, and he hurried to the task site in great difficulty.
There were only two people left in the office.
The golden-orange eyes turned to stare at the man sitting in the office chair pulling leaves. The latter shuddered: "Captain Chu, wait until I pull these yellow leaves off and then I will do the mission!"
As long as there is enough water and food, Xiao Mi can survive five days smoothly, but the rose potted plant on the table is not so lucky. After five days of no one taking care of it, many of its leaves began to turn yellow.
...
...
Bai Yu would not allow such an ugly plant to be placed between him and Chu Zehuai, let alone that it was a white rose.
No, I can't leave the impression in Chu Zehuai's mind that roses will grow ugly.
Chu Zehuai looked at Bai Yu who was plucking leaves and taking the time to answer him, and took out something from behind and shook it: "That's not what I meant. I wanted to say, this is for you."
Both the clay plants and the climbing trellis require a certain amount of time to make, and now even the materials are not ready. After thinking about it, this is the only thing that can be given to Bai Yu quickly.
"What's this?"
Bai Yu plucked off the last yellow leaf and moved forward.
This is a palm-sized glass sphere, with a flower vine base also made of fired glass underneath and an openable lid on top.
In the middle of the sphere, a golden flame burned quietly, emitting a soft glow.
"I feel like you're a little afraid of the cold. The weather isn't warm yet, and it's still a little cold when you go out to work. This has a core made of down feathers that I kneaded to keep the flame burning."
The warm glass cover was forced into Bai Yu's hand, and the latter was stunned for a moment.
In fact, after enduring the coldest few dozen days, Bai Yu no longer cared about the weather outside, but occasionally he would rely on instinct to avoid the cold. However, he really didn't expect that Chu Zehuai could actually see it.
At the moment he was stunned, the man opposite him suddenly spread his golden wings behind him, opened them and then closed them slightly, just enough to cover the two of them in this small and private space.
The wings were extremely close, carrying the other party's unique high body temperature, and the air nearby was obviously a little warmer than before.
"Look, if the temperature is a little higher, I feel like you'll be in a better condition."
Chu Zehuai loosened his hand, and his fingertips slid across the back of the other person's hand and fell down, finding an excuse for his sudden action of spreading his wings.
"is that so?"
Bai Yu blinked blankly, then fell into deep thought.
His condition would indeed change due to the rise and fall of the surrounding temperature, but the office wasn't particularly cold just now. With such a small temperature difference, could his condition before and after really be so noticeable?
No one spoke in the office for a while. Even Xiao Mi, who usually called out "giao~giao~", was not there. The atmosphere gradually became a little subtle, and then from subtle to a little warm——
"Brother! We are back again! You will never guess who we met at the door."
Lin Mo pushed open the door of the office, not noticing that he had interrupted the atmosphere.
"Hey, isn't Xiaobai here? Bro, what are you doing with your wings spread out in the office?"
Chu Zehuai:.........
He felt that he needed to give his dear cousin some more love education.
"I seem to understand something."
Yuan Xue pushed up her glasses with one hand and held Xiao Mi in her arms with the other hand. A hint of understanding flashed across her eyes behind the lenses.
"giao~giao~giao~" Xiao Mi looked at this scene and cried out excitedly.
"Well, it's nothing. Remember to knock on the door next time you enter the office. Don't be so reckless all the time."
Under the gaze of the three people and the cat, Chu Zehuai retracted his wings as if nothing had happened and sat back in his seat.
Without the cover of his wings, Bai Yu, who was standing behind, was revealed to the three people.
"This is... Xiao Zhao? Is this another interview?"
Bai Yu looked at the person at the door who looked familiar yet a little strange. After thinking for a while, he finally matched the other person's face with the person in his memory.
His nose moved and he smelled a fragrance coming from the other person.
It was a very refreshing smell, but it instantly made Bai Yu frown.
It is the scent of flowers, but not just one kind of flower.
"Yes, it's me. I'm not here for a new interview this time. The last interview was very successful and I was appreciated by the editor-in-chief, so I wanted to come back and thank everyone. But at the end of last year, I had too many things to do and didn't have any free time."
Reporter Xiao Zhao stood next to Lin Mo, holding a large bouquet of beautiful flowers in his hand.
Blooming pink lilies, ping-pong chrysanthemums, Shangri-La roses, eucalyptus leaves... dozens of different kinds of flowers were piled together, wrapped in beautiful pink and blue wrapping paper, and handed to Chu Zehuai by Xiao Zhao.
"Captain Chu, this is for you. I specially selected the most beautiful flowers in the flower shop. I hope you will like it."
Reporter Xiao Zhao's feelings towards Chu Zehuai were half gratitude and half admiration. However, the moment he handed it over, the hairs on his back suddenly stood up, as if he was being stared at with cold eyes by a terrifying existence lurking in the dark, and a huge sense of crisis instantly surged over him like a tide.
So what should have been a very smooth flower-giving action, but at the last second the hand shook and loosened, and the bouquet flew out directly.
"It's not that exciting."
Chu Zehuai, who was closest to him, caught the bouquet of flowers that was flying towards his face. After noticing the fragile pollen of the lilies being thrown on his face, he reluctantly put down his pen and took a tissue, wet it and wiped off the powder that was thrown on his face.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang from the next table.
"Bai Yu, why are you——"
Chu Zehuai paused, looked at the person sitting opposite him, hesitated for a moment,
"Why is your face so red?"
Just now they were so close, the space covered by the wings was small and ambiguous, but Bai Yu didn't even blush, acting like nothing had happened.
It shouldn’t be his fault. He just received a bouquet of flowers just now, so...is Bai Yu allergic?
Or did he just accidentally raise the temperature too high?
"No...Nothing, don't worry."
Bai Yu unconsciously plucked off a green rose leaf and stared at the other person's face in a daze.
There was still a lot of pollen on Chu Zehuai's face. The wet tissue did not wipe it completely clean. The remaining moisture turned a small part of the pollen into a light-colored sticky liquid, which slid down his graceful jawline.
This scene was indeed a bit too stimulating for him, a plant that had been pure and abstinent for so long.
When Chu Zehuai spread his wings, he didn't feel much. But when the other party looked at him with half of his face covered with pollen, coupled with the beauty of that face and the confused expression of desire without knowing it, it directly hit the most secret corner of Bai Yu's heart.
No, I can’t stand it anymore.
“It’s clearly not the flowering season yet…”
Bai Yu felt that there was something strange about his plant cells. He actually had an urge to bloom during the non-flowering season. He looked dazed.
However, he reacted instantly at a certain moment.
The pollen on Chu Zehuai's face is from other flowers.
Other, plants, flowers, and pollen!!!
He hasn't even had the chance to spray the rose pollen on the other person's face and all over his body, but some other pollen has already gotten there?
Bai Yu felt like there was a string in his head, and it broke with a snap.
"Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, go to the infirmary early."
Chu Zehuai saw that Bai Yu didn't seem to be allergic, so he nodded. He might have just made the air in the office a little too hot.
He stood up and was about to open the window to let in some downwind air. The next moment, a shadow quickly came over from the opposite side, and the body that had just stood up was instantly pressed back.
A rich, fresh scent of plants suddenly surged up, and Chu Zehuai was pressed firmly on the chair by the other party. The slightly cool breath brushed across his neck and ears, and the calloused fingertips slowly and forcefully brushed across the side of his face.
"Captain Chu, there is still dirt on your face. It will affect your image. Don't move. I will help you wipe it off."
Bai Yu threw the bouquet of flowers to the ground. He trapped the other person between himself and the chair and carefully wiped off the remaining pollen on the fair skin.
"Wait, wait, Bai Yu, get off me first—"
With such a close distance and such intimate contact, Chu Zehuai felt like he could hardly breathe, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
It would be fine if there was no one in the office, but the key is that there are three people and a cat, a total of four pairs of eyes watching you.
"Captain Chu, hold on, I'm only a little bit away from finishing it!"
Bai Yu thought that his posture was making the other person uncomfortable, so he changed his posture, with one hand still carefully wiping the pollen, and the other hand casually supporting...
Chu Zehuai's pupils trembled, and the remaining four pairs of eyes widened.
Is this really something that could happen in an office?
