Seeing Xia Shu’an retract his hand in embarrassment and smile at everyone as if nothing had happened, the eyes of several people in the room were shocked.
The flavor of wanting to cover up is even stronger, ah!!!!
Xia Shu’an pursed his lips and said calmly, “This is my friend, Shen Boyan.”
As mature adults, we must pretend not to see the embarrassment of others. The person at the door quickly said, “Hello, hello, Shen… Shen what?”
“Shen Boyan?!”
After getting rid of the initial hesitation, several people with high academic levels finally found this face in their memory banks.
Someone shouted in surprise: “You are Wenhui’s boss, Shen Boyan!”
Shen Boyan smiled slightly. “I am Wenhui’s president.”
“Oh my God.” A senior covered his mouth and shouted in a tone that even Xia Shu’an thought was a bit exaggerated: “Xiao Xia, you actually know Wenhui’s president, and you didn’t even tell us!”
The senior sister calmly analyzed: “Xiao Xia’s family is already in good condition, so it’s not surprising that they know each other.”
It’s just that your “friend” is actually the CEO of Wenhui; why didn’t you tell me? She looked at Xia Shu’an with a heartbroken expression, her eyes full of accusations. The other girl at the door of the room had an expression on her face that said, “I’m getting high. I’m getting high.”
Xia Shu’an: “…”
He struggled to maintain the scene: “We just happened to run into each other. Can we have him come over and have dinner with us?”
“Of course, of course!”
The supervisor also said repeatedly, “Let President Shen…Mr. Shen come in; we are not crowded anyway.”
The senior sister at the other end had already voluntarily given up a seat, and her boyfriend moved a chair from the side. Xia Shu’an and Shen Boyan were about to go in when suddenly someone else came in from the door: “Why are you crowded at the door?”
A young man walked in and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.
“Why are you all standing?” It was Chang Jun.
“Xiao Shu.” Chang Jun looked up at Xia Shu’an, and in the next second he looked at the person beside him in astonishment and asked, “Are you-”
Someone inside answered, “It’s Wenhui President Shen Boyan!”
Chang Jun had a strange look on his face. He didn’t expect that he would be in the same room as the person who was at the center of the topic not long ago. Immediately afterward, his gaze flickered, and he noticed the distance between the door between Shen Boyan and Xia Shu’an.
He didn’t witness the farce just now, but he was the only person in the lab who knew that Xia Shu’an had a boyfriend. Xia Shu’an was not an avid socializer and had a sense of social distance due to his personality.
Even the people who have the best relationship with him in the laboratory keep at least one palm away, but now he is standing side by side with Shen Boyan, and their arms are almost touching each other. As long as he moves his fingers, he can hold the other person’s hand.
Even more, the posture of this man named Shen Boyan is full of a sense of possession and protection.
A guess quickly flashed through his mind. Chang Jun’s face turned pale, his pupils overflowing with emotion, but he put it away the next moment.
With a slight smile on his face, he said, “Xiao Shu, do you actually know Wenhui’s CEO?”
Someone inside shouted, “We were just talking about how they are actually friends.”
The supervisor said, “Okay, okay, don’t wait at the door. Everyone, come in and sit down.”
Shen Boyan followed Xia Shu’an and sat next to him. Chang Jun’s seat was opposite. After sitting down, everyone launched an offensive against Shen Boyan. Shen Boyan had experienced many storms and waves, so he naturally didn’t take these child-level gossip issues seriously. He showed a gentle, elegant, humble, and generous attitude, which quickly won unanimous praise from everyone present.
“President Shen, how long have you and Xiao Xia known each other?”
“Not long. Less than a year ago.”
“That’s right, Wen Hui has only been stationed in Rongchuan for a year.” No one felt that there was anything wrong with this answer at all, and after looking at the reason, the logic was consistent.
“Then what do you think is attractive about our Xiao Xia…what’s his good point?”
Shen Boyan mused, “He is very simple and lives his life with joy. The way he fiddles with flowers and plants is especially serious, a strong contrast to his appearance.”
“I understand. I understand. On the outside, he looks like a noble and distant young man with no material possessions. But the way he stepped on dirt with his trousers rolled up while concentrating on looking at the flowers and plants is particularly cute. It really makes people want to scold him, right?!”
The senior sister looked excited, as if she had done this thousands of times in her mind.
Shen Boyan and she quickly connected to the computer network, and the two of them spoke excitedly as if they had discovered a new continent:
“Yeah, and the way he seems easy to talk to and eat whatever he’s fed with a polite face, but he’s actually quite a picky eater.”
“Wow, so cute!”
“I don’t like to eat smelly fruits, but I will eat fermented cheese with a strong flavor.”
“Double standards!”
“His appetite is obviously very small, but he still likes to eat snacks.”
“He is so undisciplined.”
Xia Shu’an: “…”
Is this some kind of accusatory meeting for me? Aren’t you guys embarrassed to speak ill about people in their faces?
Xia Shu’an coldly watched Shen Boyan make a scene and concentrated on his own food. He picked up some vegetables, put them in his bowl, and was about to put them into his mouth, but someone stopped him.
“Be careful…”
The man inserted his chopsticks from the side, pressed the chopsticks in his hand, picked out two chili shreds, and put them on the side. He then smiled helplessly and fondly and said, “Be careful when eating. If you choke, you will feel uncomfortable for a long time.”
The senior sister and another girl who were watching said, “Wow!”
Xia Shu’an: “…”
If you want to create a persona, why do you have to use me as a prop?
…….
After a while, Shen Boyan finally seemed to be tired of this game and turned his eyes toward everyone.
“Are you all classmates from the same school?”
“Most of them are, but there are also people who took postgraduate entrance examinations from other schools.”
“Chang Jun and I are Xiao Xia’s direct seniors.”
“Really?” Shen Boyan chatted with the senior sister for a few words, then raised his head and looked at Chang Jun opposite him naturally: “Then Xiao Shu is in good hands.”
Chang Jun froze and put down his chopsticks. His eyes flickered, but he didn’t look at Shen Boyan. “No, Xiao Shu is much more self-disciplined than us.”
Shen Boyan smiled slightly and quickly turned his attention back to Xia Shu’an, as if the sentence was just a formality.
When the meal was finished and the bill was being paid, Shen Boyan took the lead and said, “It’s rare that we get the chance to eat together. I’m treating you to this meal, so please don’t refuse.”
When everyone thought about his net worth and the soaring stocks, they had no desire to refuse!
After dinner, there were other activities planned to follow, but everyone was too embarrassed to mention them because of Shen Boyan.
Shen Boyan has been on the battlefield for a long time; how could he not understand this? With a gentle and kind smile on his face, he said to everyone, “Xiao Shu and I will go back first. There is a club nearby that is owned by a friend of mine. I asked him to leave a room door for me. If you have nothing to do in the evening, why not go there and have some fun?”
“Ah, how can this be…”
“It’s fine. I’m just trying to promote my friend’s business. The place is not far away.”
When Shen Boyan reported the name of the place, everyone said, Wow, it’s a super high-end entertainment club.
Want to go!
If Shen Boyan really wanted to do something, it must be thoughtful and meticulous. He first called his friend and then gave him the number of the restless senior sister. Soon the friend called the senior sister, saying things like, “If you don’t come, you’re not giving me any face.” With a few words, the person was coaxed away.
Xia Shu’an watched the others get into the car and then followed Shen Boyan into the car he drove over.
Shen Boyan declared his sovereignty in public today and was in a very happy mood. Even if he didn’t speak, Xia Shu’an could feel the joyful atmosphere emanating from him. He couldn’t help but shake his head slightly and turn to look out the window.
The lights of the city were extinguishing in the darkness, and an old song was playing on the car stereo. The particles in the air continued to settle, densely spreading on Xia Shu’an’s heart, immersing his body and mind in a peaceful atmosphere.
He closed his eyes unconsciously.
“Are all your colleagues dating anyone?”
Xia Shu’an was startled and twisted his head over. “What? What do you want to do? Do you still want to introduce friends to single people?”
“Sure, since they stay in school and do research, they must be very smart and capable. Many people in my company are still single.”
“…No way.” Xia Shu’an complained seriously:
“A boss who even cares about his employees’ personal lives is disgusting.”
Shen Boyan chuckled.
Afraid that Shen Boyan would really have this idea, Xia Shu’an added, “And most of us are already dating someone.”
“So are your two direct seniors?”
“Ah?” Xia Shu’an didn’t react and said subconsciously, “For senior sister, the person sitting next to her is her boyfriend. As for senior Chang Jun…”
He paused and then said, “Senior Chang Jun seems to have just fallen out of love.”
“Don’t harass people. He just fell out of love and has no such intention.”
“Really?” Shen Boyan responded lightly. “I know, just kidding with you. Well, get some rest. I’ll call you when we get home.”
“Yes.” Xia Shu’an was relieved, leaning his head on the back of the seat and slowly closing his eyes in the light flashing outside the window.
Shen Boyan put his hands on the steering wheel, his expression not as happy as Xia Shu’an imagined.
As soon as that man called him “Xiao Shu,” he had set his sights on the young man named “Chang Jun,” and naturally, he didn’t miss the flash of disappointment in his eyes when he saw him and Xia Shu’an standing together.
In the gloomy night, the man pulled his lips slightly, and the corners of his lips slowly drew an indifferent arc.
…….
…….
In the middle of the night, a bright yellow taxi stopped at the entrance of a residential area. A young man got out of the car and walked into the community carrying a bag. He had just approached the building where his home was when a girl suddenly jumped out from the shadows and said, “Chang Jun!”
Chang Jun’s face flashed with pain, and he looked at the girl blocking the road with a very troubled expression: “Lin Yue, I told you, we broke up.”
“Please, let me go, really!”
The girl was Chang Jun’s ex-girlfriend, who broke up not long ago. At this moment, she was no longer as sweet and cute as she was at school. Her eyes were filled with a resentful glow as she stared at the agonized Chang Jun: “You said we should break up, then we just break up? On what ground?”
“You were the one who pursued me first. I told you that I was just trying it out with you. Now that I’ve tried it, I feel it’s inappropriate. Can’t we break up?!”
Chang Jun was on the verge of going crazy. At first, he couldn’t stand Lin Yue’s pestering, so he decided to give it a try.
But if he knew that Lin Yue would be so obsessive when they broke up—no, a hundred times more obsessive than when she pursued him—he would definitely not agree.
“Then what do you want? I beg you, please let me go. I really don’t like you!”
“Do you dislike me, or do you like someone else?”
In the gloomy night, Lin Yue’s eyes were more frightening than the cold wind passing through the dead trees: “Or maybe you actually don’t like my gender!”
Chang Jun suddenly raised his head!
The girl’s beautiful face slowly revealed a disgusted and thrilled expression: “Chang Jun, you like men; you’re disgusting; you’re so disgusting.”
Hua: Both of them are low-key problematic. Chang Jun probably doesn’t want to accept the fact that he’s gay for XSA; that’s why he agreed to date Lin Yue. Now he’s stuck with a crazy homophobic girlfriend. 🙄🙄
