After living in Xiao Yuanmu's apartment for about a week, Song Xuanhe's injuries were almost healed.
It's just that Xiao Yuanmu seemed to have gotten used to working at home. Even if Louis complained many times, it was useless. Unless Song Xuanhe had to go out or it was necessary for work, he would never go out at other times. As a result, Louis repeatedly invited Song Xuanhe to visit their company.
It was hard to refuse the kind invitation, and Song Xuanhe was indeed a little curious about RE, so after the wound scabbed over, he went to RE with Xiao Yuanmu.
In the lobby of RE headquarters, Louis opened his arms enthusiastically and shouted excitedly: "Song! You are finally here!"
Song Xuanhe paused, Xiao Yuanmu raised his hand to block Louis's hand, and glanced at him lightly: "What are you doing?"
"A welcome hug." Louis shrugged: "Forget it, I know you don't like me hugging Song, it's okay, let's go upstairs now, I'll show you around."
"I'll show him around." Xiao Yuanmu said, "You can go back to work."
"I didn't expect you to do this to me." Louis said in disbelief: "We are both in the company, but you only let me go to work, while you are dating your lover?"
"Yes." Xiao Yuanmu took Song Xuanhe's hand, walked past Louis, ignored the surprised glances from the people around him, and went straight into the elevator.
Song Xuanhe glanced at Louis who was running towards the elevator, leaned against the back wall and said, "It's not good to lock him out."
"There's another elevator."
"That's not what I meant..." Song Xuanhe said, but when he saw Xiao Yuanmu's expression of not caring at all, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and said, "Forget it."
Xiao Yuanmu continued the topic: "Do you want Louis to interrupt our date?"
"I just came to visit the company with you." Song Xuanhe corrected: "This is not called a date."
Xiao Yuanmu humbly asked: "What is a date then?"
This question made Song Xuanhe stunned. He thought about it carefully. In his original world, he had never been in love and had no dating experience. The original owner's previous dates were only for innocent times when they watched movies and had meals together at school. The others were for attending various parties together. It didn't look like a date, but more like drinking buddies.
The question of what exactly is a date stumped Song Xuanhe.
But he definitely couldn't show in front of Xiao Yuanmu that he had no experience in dating, so he pretended to think for a while, then said calmly: "Watching a movie, eating, taking a walk, all count as dating."
"What movies do you like?" Xiao Yuanmu asked.
Song Xuanhe: "Star Trek."
"What?"
Song Xuanhe paused, shook his head and said, "I like science fiction."
"Science fiction..."
The elevator door opened and Yang Jie was waiting outside.
The first thing Xiao Yuanmu said when he came out was, "Do you know what science fiction movies are available recently?"
Yang Jie was stunned and shook his head: "I don't know."
Xiao Yuanmu nodded, took out his cell phone and started searching. Song Xuanhe followed behind him, passing the sight of countless people on the top floor, and walked into his office step by step.
Sitting in his rest area, Xiao Yuanmu finally finished his search. He raised his eyes and said, "There are no science fiction films showing now, but there are..."
"I don't want to watch a movie." Song Xuanhe pulled Xiao Yuanmu to sit down: "A date doesn't necessarily mean we have to do anything specific, it's fine for the two of us to be together, so today can be considered a date."
Xiao Yuanmu pursed his lips and asked, "What is Star Trek?"
[The search revealed that there is a science fiction book in this world, and its name is "Star Trek". 】
The system's voice appeared in time, and Song Xuanhe said, "A book that I like very much."
Something flashed across Xiao Yuanmu's eyes, and he asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"You cooked the meal."
Xiao Yuanmu's lips curved slightly: "Okay."
Qiao knocked on the door and came in. He was stunned when he saw Song Xuanhe. He had heard that Xiao Yuanmu brought his lover to the company before. He was half-believing and half-doubting, and more of a disbelief. Although Xiao Yuanmu seldom came to the company during this period, he attended all the meetings he was supposed to attend, and he had just returned to the Xiao family and was going to inspect the Xiao family's company, so it was normal for him to come to the company less often. Therefore, even if Xiao Yuanmu reduced the number of times he came to the company, he never guessed that Xiao Yuanmu was in love.
When he came back from outside just now and heard his colleagues say this, he thought it was just a joke. Now that he actually saw Song Xuanhe, he was very surprised.
"This is Qiao." Xiao Yuanmu said to Song Xuanhe, "My assistant."
Song Xuanhe stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello."
"My lover, Song Xuanhe." Xiao Yuanmu introduced again.
Qiao reacted and quickly extended his hand, "Hello, Mr. Song."
"Do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Yes." Qiao put away his surprise, pushed up his glasses and said, "Mrs. Xiao just called. She went to your apartment but couldn't find you. Your phone was always busy, so she hopes to contact you through me and ask you to call her back."
Xiao Yuanmu nodded and said, "Anything else?"
"There's nothing else to do except remind you again of the meeting tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock." Joe was very good at reading people's expressions. After he finished speaking, he said, "If you don't have any instructions, I'll leave."
"good."
Qiao smiled at Song Xuanhe and turned to leave.
However, just two minutes after he left the house, he turned back again and said to Xiao Yuanmu, "Mrs. Xiao called again. She sounded very anxious and asked me to inform you to come back as soon as possible. It seems that something has happened."
Xiao Yuanmu frowned, and Song Xuanhe grabbed his hand which was placed aside.
Qiao waited for a few seconds, and seeing the serious expressions on their faces, he tactfully left again.
"Did something happen to Mr. Xiao?"
After Qiao went out, Song Xuanhe asked.
"Yes." Xiao Yuanmu said lightly.
Song Xuanhe asked: "Do you need to rush over to take a look? I can go back by myself."
"No need." Xiao Yuanmu said calmly: "I know his physical condition very well. There shouldn't be any serious problems at this time. The doctor will solve it for him. There is no need for me to go over."
"But..." Song Xuanhe frowned: "What if there is an accident?"
Although he knew that Xiao Yuanmu did not have a good relationship with his family, these people were his only relatives in this world. If possible, Song Xuanhe hoped that there were people in this world who could truly care for and take care of Xiao Yuanmu.
"No." Xiao Yuanmu said calmly, "I know his body very well."
Seeing Song Xuanhe's slightly frowned brows, Xiao Yuanmu grabbed his hand and moved it, saying, "I'll call her."
Song Xuanhe nodded.
Maybe it was really busy over there. Xiao Yuanmu called three times but no one answered. Just when Song Xuanhe thought no one would pick up the phone, a crying voice came over: "Yuanmu, where are you? Your father suddenly fell into a coma and went into the operating room again."
Xiao Yuanmu glanced at Song Xuanhe and said, "I'm in the company."
"Then can you come to the hospital right away?" Mrs. Xiao's voice was filled with helplessness: "Now what the doctor says is very vague, and he doesn't even dare to give me a guarantee that everything will be fine. I'm really worried about your father. Your brother is still in school, and it will take a long time to rush over. Can you come back first?"
"I have something important to do now..." Xiao Yuanmu's eyes fell on Song Xuanhe who bumped into his arm. He paused and continued, "I'll come over when I'm done."
"But……"
"I'll send someone to pick up Xiao Bocong." Xiao Yuanmu said, "He should be on his way back now. When he arrives at the airport, I'll..."
"Need not!"
Mrs. Xiao interrupted him hastily, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across Xiao Yuanmu's eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, perhaps realizing that her refusal was too hasty, Madam Xiao explained, "Cong Cong has already asked the butler to pick him up. The bodyguard and the butler together are already a bit conspicuous. If you go over there too, it will be easy to delay if the two groups bump into each other. You can just come by yourself."
"Okay." Xiao Yuanmu raised his lips slightly and said, "I'll come over when I'm done."
This time, Madam Xiao no longer urged him to come over immediately, but quickly replied: "Okay, come when you're done."
After the call was hung up, Xiao Yuanmu took back the phone and said, "I'll have dinner with you first, and then I'll go over after I send you back."
Song Xuanhe had frowned since he heard Madam Xiao's decisive refusal. Later, after hearing her change of attitude, the corners of his mouth pursed tightly. When he heard Xiao Yuanmu's voice, he took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to a movie this afternoon. I suddenly feel like watching a movie."
Xiao Yuanmu paused, held his hand tightly, and then nodded slowly.
"Calculate the time." Song Xuanhe said, "Wait until Xiao Bocong is about to arrive before going."
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes lit up, with a hint of smile in his eyes, and he nodded again.
"What movies are there today?"
Xiao Yuanmu reported the names of the movies released in the past few days. Seeing Song Xuanhe frown, he briefly skimmed the introduction and told him the ratings of each movie.
"Let's watch something relaxing." Song Xuanhe made the final decision: "You book the tickets first, and we'll go after dinner."
Xiao Yuanmu booked the movie tickets without wasting a moment, then took Song Xuanhe out of the office and gave him a formal tour of the office building.
Starting from the top floor, Xiao Yuanmu held Song Xuanhe's hand, greeted Qiao, and introduced the people in the secretariat to Song Xuanhe one by one.
Song Xuan was not as good as Xiao Yuanmu in his memory, but he was pretty good. There were more than a dozen people, and after Xiao Yuanmu mentioned them once, he remembered everyone's faces and names. When calling people by their names, he would also praise the obvious advantages of each person.
Before the tour even started, Song Xuanhe had already won the love of everyone in the secretary's office. A senior executive passing by even smiled and said, "Song, I have always liked your designs since I saw them. I didn't expect that you are so interesting in person. If possible, I really hope to have dinner with you."
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes darkened slightly, but he did not answer on behalf of Song Xuanhe.
Song Xuanhe smiled and said, "I'm very sorry, I don't like eating out. If you don't mind, we can invite you to our house. Xiao is a good cook."
Xiao Yuanmu was stunned, and then he saw Song Xuanhe looking at him and asked, "Do you mind showing off your cooking skills?"
"I don't mind." Xiao Yuanmu answered very quickly, and then he pressed down the corners of his mouth and said to the senior executive: "Welcome to our home."
