In the living room, Shen Ci was drinking a cup of hot chocolate. His body, which had just been frozen in the cold weather, finally slowly warmed up.

Wei Shuo sat opposite him, leaning against the sofa in an unnatural manner, and the atmosphere between the two of them was silent for a while.

His eyes moved to Shen Ci's left hand which was wrapped in layers of bandages, and he finally couldn't help but speak first: "Ah, then... why did you come here suddenly?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci put down the cup, stood up, faced Wei Shuo's confused gaze, and hugged him with open arms.

Wei Shuo: “!!!”

Shen Ci closed his eyes and shouted, "Shuo Shuo, I'm sorry!"

Wei Shuo: “???”

Shen Ci loosened his arms, slid down and leaned against Wei Shuo, saying in a low voice: "Alas, I shouldn't have quarreled with you about that matter before, and I shouldn't have been in a cold war with you... Shuo Shuo, actually I should thank you."

Wei Shuo was a little dumbfounded. After playing with Shen Ci for more than 20 years, this was the first time he heard an apology and thanks from Shen Ci.

To be honest, Wei Shuo could no longer remember the reason for the quarrel between the two. He only remembered that Shen Ci suddenly became extremely angry and started smashing cups while yelling.

Shen Ci had a bad temper, but he had never been so violent. Wei Shuo was also very angry at the time, and in the end, he simply slammed the door and left, contrary to his usual behavior.

After that, the two of them were in a cold war for a whole month.

Shen Ci: "You are right, Shao Jinhuan is indeed a big pig's hoof! I will never be a fool again."

Wei Shuo: “…”

He seemed to remember that the starting point of the dispute between the two was that Wei Shuo scolded Shao Jinhuan.

At that time, Shen Ci came to him to complain, saying that Shao Jinhuan always ignored him and took care of a newcomer with no background. Wei Shuo took the opportunity to scold Shao Jinhuan. As a result, Shen Ci became even more unhappy, and shouted that it was not Shao Jinhuan's fault, but the problem of that bitch who seduced him.

Thinking of Shen Ci's mindless and unprincipled defense of Shao Jinhuan, Wei Shuo felt a little unhappy again. They were all childhood friends, why were they treated so differently? And why did Shao Jinhuan, that big pig-head, deserve Shen Ci's love?

But now...why did Shen Ci's attitude towards Shao Jinhuan change 180 degrees?

Wei Shuo was confused, but did not ask. Perhaps Shen Ci had come up with a new way to attract Shao Jinhuan's attention.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Wei Shuo felt a little uncomfortable and changed the subject directly. He had been paying attention to Shen Ci's hand just now.

Shen Ci lifted it up and waved it nonchalantly: "It was just permed, it's no big deal."

Wei Shuo pulled it over and took a closer look at the place where the bandage was wrapped around it: "Who permed it for you? Could it be that idiot Shao Jinhuan?"

"It's not him. You have a really unique way of thinking." Shen Ci was embarrassed. Shao Jinhuan might be a super scapegoat. He could be blamed for anything that happened.

Wei Shuo was puzzled: "Then why do you suddenly dislike Shao Zhutou so much? Aren't you... that guy?"

Shen Ci: "Ah? You said I like him?"

Wei Shuo curled his lips and hummed in response.

Shen Ci reached out and hugged his friend like a pillow: "I haven't liked him for a long time. He hates me so much, why should I rush over to be a bitch?"

Wei Shuo reached out and touched Shen Ci's forehead, muttering, "You don't have a fever..."

"Stinky Shuo!"

Shen Ci glared, picked up a pillow and threw it at Wei Shuo. Wei Shuo was prepared, and threw Shen Ci with a sly smile. The two of them immediately wrestled into a ball like they had done countless times before. However, they were of similar size, both were thin and over 1.7 meters tall, so neither of them could gain an advantage. After fighting for a long time, they only got their clothes wrinkled and their hair messed up.

Wei Shuo lay on the sofa, panting heavily, "I said, you came to me just to say this?"

Shen Ci slapped his forehead and said, "Ah! I almost forgot something! Hurry up, hurry up..."

Wei Shuo covered his forehead and said angrily: "Why did you take a photo of me! Shen Ci, I will kill you!"

Shen Ci took out a small bottle from his pocket: "Here."

"What is this?" Wei Shuo didn't answer. He moved closer to take a closer look and found that there were a lot of hair in three small glass bottles, with handwritten labels on the outside: Dad, Mom, and Brother.

Wei Shuo: "...Do you see the question mark above my head?"

Shen Ci stuffed it into his hand and said, "Please ask someone to identify it for me. Your father is in the field of biotechnology, so he should have friends in this field. I want to confirm the blood relationship between my family and me."

If it is really determined that he is not the Shen family's child, then he will choose to completely accept everything in his dream.

He pulled a strand of his hair down, put it in the fourth empty bottle and handed it to Wei Shuo: "By the way, don't reveal my identity!"

Wei Shuo took the four vials with a dazed look on his face, and after a long while he spoke with difficulty: "Uh... why are you suddenly trying to determine blood ties?"

Shen Ci had long anticipated that Wei Shuo would ask, and he did not intend to hide the fact from his best friend who he had grown up with, so he told the whole story directly: he might be a child adopted by the Shen family.

The room was silent, and the lively atmosphere suddenly froze.

Wei Shuo, who was usually as noisy and arrogant as Shen Ci, looked a little nervous and serious: "Are you serious?"

Shen Ci pointed at the bottle and said, "Do you think I'm kidding?"

The living room was flooded with brilliant sunlight, which shone softly and warmly on Shen Ci. The indifferent smile on his face seemed as unreal as an illusion in Wei Shuo's eyes.

He stopped talking, silently stood up to put the bottle away, and when he came back he hugged Shen Ci tightly.

"No matter who you are, Shen Ci, you will always be my friend. If anyone bullies you, come to me!"

Shen Ci tightened his embrace, feeling deeply moved.

In the original novel, Wei Shuo eventually left him. This was not Wei Shuo's fault, but Shen Ci's own fault.

After countless arguments over Shao Jinhuan or Bai Ziwei, the words "It's none of your business. I don't want you as my friend" completely destroyed their already fragile friendship. Wei Shuo left in anger, and the two never met again until Shen Ci was kicked out of the house.

No one wanted Shen Ci, so Wei Shuo came to take him to seek refuge with a stinking face. However, Shen Ci was still sarcastic at this moment, and continued to tear Wei Shuo's sincerity madly, and finally forced him to leave completely.

After waking up, Shen Ci felt regretful and guilty. He must have been stupid to speak ill of his good friend of twenty years and even hurt him wantonly just to lick the male protagonist.

He even wondered if his original self was equipped with some kind of "cannon fodder thinking system".

In a trance, Shen Ci seemed to hear some strange noises, and hurriedly pulled away Wei Shuo's face that was lying on his shoulder.

Wei Shuo was actually sobbing and snotting: "Xiao Ci, you really have such a miserable life, wuwuwuwu... You are so pitiful, little baby, wuwuwuwu..."

Shen Ci: “???”

The corner of Shen Ci's mouth twitched, and he shook Wei Shuo's shoulder vigorously: "Wake up! Stop your brainstorming!"

He almost forgot. Wei Shuo was a person who could immediately think of 60 episodes of bloody and touching anti-cancer movies made in China when he saw the word "cancer"...

***

Shen Ci has a two-week vacation and is so idle that he is almost bored. Today he follows Shen Bie to his office to make trouble, and tomorrow he goes to fight with Wei Shuo. After repeating this for several days, the bored Shen Ci starts to set his sights on Lu Xiao again.

The Sky Tower is in the city center, and the crowds are too dense. Shen Ci put on his sunglasses and hat, and then wrapped a scarf around his neck. He gave himself a thumbs-up in front of the mirror with satisfaction. Now no one could recognize him!

Half an hour later, on the first floor of Yunxiao, in front of a few stars, the sister

Shen Ci, who was surrounded by people, silently withdrew his thumbs up before leaving.

"So cute, such a cute little one, you can tell at first glance that it's a Ci baby!"

"What are you doing here, Cibaobao? Did you get a taxi and go to the wrong place?"

"Come here, I'll give you some candy, let me take a sip!"

Shen Ci was stunned. How could fans accurately identify a dumpling even if it was wrapped like a big dumpling? !

Just when the weak and pitiful but gluttonous Shen Ci was about to be trampled by the terrifying fans in the front desk, someone tapped lightly on the long table in the front desk.

The noisy girls looked up and saw a man in a suit with a cold face.

"Assistant Min..."

They immediately put on a dignified and elegant professional smile, raised their heads and straightened their chests, sat down politely, and asked Shen Ci kindly: "Sir, may I ask your name? Have you made an appointment in advance?"

Shen Ci: “…”

Special Assistant Min successfully rescued Shen Ci from the crowd of fans and took him directly to the top floor in the high-speed elevator reserved for the president. As soon as the elevator opened, it was the spacious and empty president's office floor. Shen Ci felt relieved and took off his glasses and mask.

"Mr. Shen, I'm going to work. Take your time." The special assistant saluted him gentlemanly, turned around and walked to the secretary's office on the side.

Shen Ci took off his scarf, walked to the left as if he knew the way, and knocked on the door.

The double dark wooden doors opened silently, and Shen Ci saw Lu Xiao sitting in the middle at a glance, and walked towards him with a swagger.

Sitting behind the desk, Lu Xiao was wearing only a black shirt, with the collar buttons casually unbuttoned and sleeves rolled up, revealing his tight and smooth white arms. He was wearing silver-framed glasses and seemed to be writing something, his eyes were downcast but he was sitting upright, his fingers were clearly jointed because he was holding a pen.

The only sound in the office was the rustling of paper and pen. Lu Xiao lowered his eyes and signed the last word, then closed the pen and looked up: "Why are you here?"

Shen Ci lay down on the sofa next to Lu Xiao's desk and stuck out his tongue: "Because I'm bored."

Lu Xiao checked the time and sorted out the documents in his hand: "It's almost noon, what do you want to eat?"

Shen Ci didn't say anything. Instead, he took a few steps over, took off Lu Xiao's glasses, and looked at him carefully.

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow but did not dodge, questioning Shen Ci with his eyes.

Shen Ci had a serious face. He frowned and poked the wrinkles between Lu Xiao's eyebrows, muttering, "You're not handsome anymore if you keep frowning..."

Soft fingers touched his skin with a cool feeling, and the weak current between his eyebrows made Lu Xiao's heart numb. He relaxed his body and leaned back in the chair, showing Shen Ci a tired and gentle smile: "I can't help it. The work is very tiring. Why don't you help me with a massage?"

Shen Ci's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

He often gave his father massages when he was a child, and thought his technique was pretty good, so he rolled up his sleeves and enthusiastically began to massage Lu Xiao's head and neck acupuncture points.

Lu Xiao closed his eyes and enjoyed it. The office fell into a comfortable and relaxing silence.

On the desk, the laptop, forgotten by its owner, was open.

The employees in the video conference watched the president sign a document, but were interrupted by a delicate-looking teenager who even started to mess around!

There is a saying in the company's secret jokes: "If you want the president to interrupt his work during working hours, it is better to hope for the end of the world." The employees on the other side of the video are almost blinded. Is the person in front of them who deliberately pretends to be weak and tired and lets the boy help massage him really the workaholic and frigid Lu Xiao? !

No one dared to speak. All the participants showed terrified expressions as if they were going to be killed and silenced, and one after another they cautiously left the meeting.

Ahhh! I'd pay a lot for a pair of eyes that haven't discovered the CEO's secret!
