Chapter 22: Temptation

Lu Xiaobai and Lin Ruoxi got acquainted, since he didn't even tell his good friend Feng Tianyu, then he wouldn't tell him about Zeng Jiabao who he just met.

Lu Xiaobai's sentence "I'm not interested in the girls around me" made Zeng Jiabao suddenly interested, only to see a strange light shining in his deep eyes, and his eyes frequently turned to Lu Xiaobai with a sense of exploration, as if he wanted to discover some amazing secret from him.

His gaze made Lu Xiaobai feel oppressed and nervous, Lu Xiaobai had never found anyone looking at him with such a strange gaze, in order to avoid his gaze, Lu Xiaobai picked up the purple clay pot and poured tea into the cup, his gaze focused on the gradually rising pale yellow tea in the cup. He took a sip from his cup, and a faint smell of tea mixed with a faint earthy smell swirled around his mouth. While drinking tea slowly, he couldn't help but recall Zeng Jiabao's facial expression just now, and felt that his erratic eyes were intertwined with enthusiasm, fascination and expectation. He was immediately taken aback by the thought, and when he thought of his strange series of words and actions to himself, he preferred to believe that there was something wrong with him. He looked at Zeng Jiabao with his peripheral vision, and saw that Zeng Jiabao was lighting a cigarette with a lighter, and soon, smoke curled out of his nostrils, and he seemed to enjoy it. He believes that Tsang did this by using the pleasure of nicotine flowing through his body to think about his own problems.

Two single men, a quiet private room completely isolated from the outside world, Lu Xiaobai had to suspect that this was deliberately arranged, he thought: Zeng Jiabao wants to use spirits to get himself drunk, and then attack himself who is powerless.

He felt both angry and amused that he had become someone else's prey, but fortunately, there was a cloud of smoke separating Zeng Jiabao's vision at this time, so he didn't see the change in Lu Xiaobai's expression. However, Lu Xiaobai quickly controlled his feelings, and he decided not to keep quiet, but to see how Zeng Jiabao did to him. But he would never let his plot succeed, and he did so out of curiosity.

Lu Xiaobai quickly adjusted his facial expression to make it look less stiff. He looked at Zeng Jiabao, and saw that his face was hidden behind the faint smoke that was as transparent as a cicada's wings, his eyelids drooped slightly, as if he was thinking about something, his eyes seemed to reveal a faint sadness and loss, his attention was no longer on himself, he put a huge question mark in his heart, why did a face that was smiling just now change so much in an instant?

He thinks how funny Zeng Jiabao is, a man with a problem with his sexual orientation, but sometimes he is eyeing another man with a normal sexual orientation, sometimes "no interest", what is he thinking? Are you afraid of being despised by yourself and have a feeling of frustration? He felt that Zeng Jiabao had recruited himself not only to develop a pyramid scheme, but more importantly, to take advantage of the opportunity to develop a relationship with him, and he was secretly excited that he had discovered this amazing secret immediately.

After a while, the cigarette in Zeng Jiabao's hand burned to the end, and the burning smell of the sponge began to emanate, and he seemed to be alert to press the cigarette butt into the white porcelain ashtray. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, both raised his wine glass and asked Lu Xiaobai to raise his wine glass, they touched each other in the air, and the two drank it all. Then he poured a full cup for Lu Xiaobai and himself, and they also drank it all with their necks raised.

After two glasses of wine in a row, Lu Xiaobai felt that the whole room was spinning, and he said that he was too strong to drink and couldn't drink anymore. Zeng Jiabao saw that his face was flushed, and thought that he was about to get drunk, so he stopped persuading him to drink, and drank silently alone.

Lu Xiaobai felt some pain in his head, so he lay down on the table to rest. Although he was already a little drunk, he was like a mirror in his heart, if Zeng Jiabao wanted to molest himself, he had the strength to knock him down. He felt that he had created a perfect opportunity to lure Zeng Jiabao into being deceived. He guessed that Zeng Jiabao was staring at him with a pair of shining eyes at this moment, thinking about how to do it quietly.

In order to make Zeng Jiabao do his best to attack him, he decided to imitate the sound of snoring and pretend to be asleep; He felt his heart beating violently, a natural expression of high tension in anticipation.

To his surprise, fifteen minutes passed, Zeng Jiabao did not move his body, and he had heard the squeaking of his lips when he sipped wine from time to time, but then there was no sound, and the room was surprisingly quiet. Did he misjudge, he didn't have a problem at all?

Is he frustrated or excited now? Is it sad or happy? With this question, Lu Xiaobai decided to take a look, in order to make him look like he had just woken up, he had to disguise it. He slowly raised his head and rubbed his eyes with his hands, but dimly saw Zeng Jiabao lying on the table, as if asleep.

He sat quietly for a few minutes, when he saw the waiter open the door and come in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Lu Xiaobai decided to wake Zeng Jiabao up. He pushed Zeng Jiabao a few times, Zeng Jiabao raised his head, looking drunk and hazy, but still conscious. Lu Xiaobai helped Zeng Jiabao out of the room, settled the account at the cash register, and then walked outside. Zeng Jiabao said that he hoped that Lu Xiaobai would send him back, but Lu Xiaobai hesitated for two seconds and agreed. Zeng Jiabao also said that his residence was far away from here, about five or six kilometers away, so he stopped a taxi and got into the car with Lu Xiaobai.

Entering Zeng Jiabao's room, Lu Xiaobai saw that the room was arranged in an orderly manner, leather sofas, glass coffee tables, mahogany tables, color TVs, etc. were all placed in suitable positions, and there were several portraits of young foreign men with their upper bodies exposed on the walls, all of which were bronzed and very muscular.

In a young man's room, he does not post elegant and charming portraits of Mona Lisa, does not post portraits of beautiful and sexy modern girls, but specializes in portraits of masculine and sexy men, which just proves that he is very obsessed with these men in the portraits, Lu Xiaobai thought.

When he returned home, he was almost completely drunk and awake. He picked up the remote control board from the sofa, flicked the switch button, and soon, a costume fight scene appeared on the TV screen. He said to Lu Xiaobai: "There are many movie discs in the TV cabinet, if you think the TV is not good, take the disc out and play it." He didn't sit down to watch TV, but went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Lu Xiaobai had no intention of watching TV, he was still wondering if Zeng Jiabao had any problems? He leaned his head back on the sofa chair and faintly heard the sound of water rushing from the bathroom. Lu Xiaobai thought that he had brought a man he had just met to his house and was in a hurry to take a bath, his intention was very obvious, and he was proceeding step by step according to his plan. A paradoxical scene appeared in Lu Xiaobai's mind: after bathing, Zeng Jiabao walked out wrapped in a bath towel, found an unhealthy disc and put it in the CVD and pressed the play button, and then came over and sat beside him, his eyes on the TV screen, scanning his expression changes and body reactions from time to time.

Lu Xiaobai was excited about his speculation, why did Zeng Jiabao appear to be "honest and honest" in the restaurant and not do anything to himself? The reason is that he may think that the place is not suitable, the time is not ripe, if he acts rashly, he will be disgusted and resisted, but doing this kind of dirty thing at home is completely different, the place is absolutely secret, there are fragrant images to stimulate the senses, when his blood is full of blood, he will attack himself, this is easy, it will be natural.

A sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth, as if he saw Zeng Jiabao's face walking towards him with a dissolute smile, and as if he saw Zeng Jiabao sitting on the ground in a cold sweat.

He closed his eyes slightly, waiting for a good show to play.

After a while, he heard the sound of slippers hitting the floor, the sound was getting closer and closer, and then stopped abruptly next to him, and then a voice asked softly: "Xiaobai, are you sleepy?" ”

Lu Xiaobai said "um", deliberately yawned before slowly opening his eyes, he saw Zeng Jiabao dressed uprightly, the hem of the white shirt was tied in the waistband of the black trousers, the shirt buttons were neatly buttoned, meticulous, he took a closer look at his face again, his face was full of generous smiles, and there was no confusion in his eyes.

"Go into your bedroom and rest if you want." Zeng Jiabao pointed to two places, "You sleep in that one, I sleep in this one." I slept late last night and was a little sleepy and wanted to sleep. ”

"Oh--though, I'm not so sleepy now, I think I'd better go back," Lu Xiaobai's words left room for maneuver.

"Well, then I won't keep you." Zeng Jiabao still maintained a smiling face, and there seemed to be no trace of disappointment between his eyebrows.

Lu Xiaobai walked out of the room disappointed, thinking: Could it be that he really made a mistake, and things are not what he imagined at all?

Why should he rush to prove that others are aliens, and that it is accompanied by a deformed psychological reaction of contempt and pleasure? In fact, he unconsciously found a balance for the painful psychology of discrimination and ridicule in his childhood.

Lu Xiaobai studied attentively for two days, memorized the written materials that Zeng Jiabao gave him, and came to Zeng Jiabao with great interest to hand in the answer sheet.

Zeng Jiabao was very surprised to hear his smooth recitation, this pile of information is 30,000 words, not to mention two days, even if it is ten days, I am afraid that it will not be able to remember, but he only took such a short time to memorize it, as if he read it, his extraordinary endowment has to be impressive!

When Zeng Jiabao gave him the information, he didn't ask him to write it down word for word, but only hoped that he would study seriously and remember as much as he could; However, Lu Xiaobai secretly put forward strict requirements for himself, he must memorize it well, and his main purpose in doing this is to work hard in front of Zeng Jiabao, so as to be recognized by others.

Zeng Jiabao praised him, and offered a sumptuous lunch as a reward, and Lu Xiaobai readily agreed.

After eating, Zeng Jiabao said that there was a salon meeting this afternoon, and new people came to attend, and he decided to take Lu Xiaobai to test the waters, hoping that he would show him well, and temporarily taught him some etiquette and norms in the workplace and told him what communication matters and contingency strategies he should pay attention to.

Lu Xiaobai said that he remembered, and he was eager to try, as if he saw himself speaking passionately to a group of unfamiliar faces.
