Chapter 35
Li Shuo slept in a daze, feeling something soft brushing on his face, strangely itchy. He barely opened his eyes, and saw a pair of smiling eyes from the blurred vision, the corners of the eyes were hooked down, the tails of the eyes flew up obliquely, the pupils were black and bright, the eyelashes were long and dense, and they were bent into the Emei Moon because of the smile.
Li Shuo felt his heart jump a few times, opened his eyes, and Zhao Jinxin's face appeared in the enlarged vision, which was a perfect match for those eyes.
"Good morning, lamb." Zhao Jinxin kissed Li Shuo on the cheek.
Li Shuo was stunned for two seconds, so embarrassed that he was about to break out in a cold sweat, he laughed and scolded: "Don't scream." ”
"Is that the only one I call you?" Zhao Jinxin said with a smile, "Only I can call it from then on." ”
Li Shuo rubbed his eyelids and yawned: "It's not allowed to call it that way in front of any outsider, it's too embarrassing." ”
"Then that's our very own nickname." Zhao Jinxin said expectantly, "Then what do you call me?" ”
Li Shuo said helplessly: "What do you want me to call you?" ”
"This should be yours."
"You can let me go." Li Shuo looked at his watch, it was exactly eight o'clock, and he usually got up at this time, but he slept too late last night, and he was still very tired.
"When I think about it, I will sue you, don't refuse."
Li Shuo touched his head: "You didn't go out, did you?" ”
"No, but I heard movement downstairs, presumably preparing breakfast, so I told you to get up."
"Well, my family has breakfast at a quarter past eight." Li Shuo said, "I'll send them to the room." It's Saturday, and around nine o'clock my parents will go golf together, and I'll take you out then. ”
Zhao Jinxin licked his lips: "We really look like we're stealing...... I like it. ”
Li Shuo smiled lightly and did not respond.
The housekeeper brought a breakfast into the house, and Li Shuo said that he was very hungry and asked him to bring another one.
When the housekeeper left, Zhao Jinxin poked his head out of the cloakroom: "I should hide here naked, it will be more realistic." ”
"Stop making a fuss, let's eat."
The two sat at the low table facing each other, Zhao Jinxin smiled at Li Shuo, and Li Shuo also smiled back, although he was preoccupied.
Zhao Jinxin took two bites and suddenly said, "It feels good to have someone to eat breakfast with." ”
Li Shuo was stunned for a moment. He raised his head, looked at the bright weather outside the window, looked at the fragrant breakfast on the table, and then looked at the handsome young man opposite, he agreed with Zhao Jinxin very much. What happened yesterday left a shadow in his heart, at this time he was relieved a lot, today there is wine and today is drunk, think about what to do, and have fun in time, so as to live up to the good time. He smiled, stretched out his hand, rubbed off the Qiandao sauce on the corner of Zhao Jinxin's mouth with his fingertips, and then put it on the tip of his tongue and licked it off.
Zhao Jinxin's Adam's apple rolled, his voice sank, and his eyes were deep and evil: "It's early in the morning, and if you tease me again, you will bear the consequences." ”
Li Shuo hooked his lips and smiled: "You are now on my territory, be cautious in your words and deeds." ”
Zhao Jinxin bit his lip and put down his fork.
Li Shuo pressed his shoulder: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, eat honestly." He really didn't have the courage to do it with Zhao Jinxin in his room, his parents were downstairs.
Though...... It's a thrilling scene just to think about.
Zhao Jinxin pursed his lips in disappointment and smiled again: "It's good that we can keep doing this." ”
Li Shuo's hand paused, and he lowered his head and took a sip of soup.
What is it like to be like this all the time? What an esoteric question.
After the two finished eating, Li Shuo's parents also went out, and he led Zhao Jinxin out of the back door: "Let's go, don't mess around like this next time." ”
Zhao Jinxin squeezed his eyes: "Obey." Then he suddenly came over, kissed Li Shuo heavily, and whispered, "Next time I will be in your bed." ”
Li Shuo smiled and pushed him into the car and closed the door.
When I returned to my room, I looked at the two remaining pairs of cutlery on the low table and the messy quilt on the bed, and suddenly felt empty in my heart.
It would be nice to have another man here.
Although he enjoys the joy of love and the excitement of sex, what he wants most is to form a warm home with people who know and love each other.
Li Shuo sent the information and official seal away, and only then did he really have a sense of career. Although he can still get dividends every year and lead Ennan's projects, this is completely not enough for his work*.
He locked himself in his room, thinking carefully about what he was going to do next.
Because he was involved in the bankruptcy and loan fraud case of Benhui Real Estate twice, his reputation in the audit industry in Beijing was basically over, and he either changed places or changed careers.
Li Shuo decided to sort out the financial situation of himself and his family, he has been in business for so many years, he has not had a good rest, now is a good time, if you can't think about what to do for a while, you can choose a few projects to invest in.
When his father came home in the evening, he told him what he thought, but he concealed that he was being investigated, and only said that he wanted to spend more time with them, so he sold part of the shares of the firm and planned to do something else, but he didn't lie.
His father was very supportive of him, and the two chatted back and forth, and his father put forward an idea, saying that a friend in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce wanted to invest in a luxury hotel in Sanya City and was looking for a partner.
When Li Shuo heard this, he also thought it was good, and planned to ask someone out to talk another day.
After the contract was signed, the official operation of the Beijing branch of Ennan Group was also put on the agenda, Li Shuo carefully confirmed his father's physical condition, and decided to return to China with Zhao Jinxin at the end of the month, but he didn't dare to leave for too long, hoping that this time he would go back and take care of both official and private affairs, especially Li Chengxiu's affairs.
Two days later, Han Feiye called Li Shuo to ask for dinner, and he readily agreed.
During this time, Zhao Jinxin was busy with the company's affairs, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for several days, and Li Shuo was very sure that he wouldn't be rude this time.
Li Shuo took two good bird's nests from home, Han Feiye hadn't grown a few taels of meat for so many years, and he didn't feel at ease when he looked at it.
The two of them went to the Italian restaurant they had been to together, and there were many restaurants, cafes, and shops on that street, some of which had already changed hands, and almost all of them still had their common memories.
Li Shuo drove by, and his heart was full of emotion, and it is a wonderful and cherished thing that someone can share with you the memories of the past.
The two of them came at a coincidental time and met at the door of the restaurant.
They looked at each other and smiled, and Li Shuo pushed open the door and let Han Feiye in.
"I didn't expect that there would be many more stores that were open." Han Feiye sighed.
"Yes, it has stood the test of time and proved that we have a good vision."
Han Feiye smiled, "Do you remember what I like to eat?" ”
"Yes." Li Shuo said.
"Really?" Han Feiye raised his eyebrows, "Then you can do something." ”
Li Shuo summoned the waiter, flipped through the menu, and ordered Han Feiye smoked salmon, creamy seafood soup, and beef lasagna, and the dessert was a red wine brownie.
Han Feiye looked at him in a daze: "...... You really remember. ”
Li Shuo said with a smile: "You have always eaten like this, you don't like to try new dishes, and if you think something delicious, you will order it repeatedly." ”
"I think it's called long-term affection." Han Feiye looked deeply into Li Shuo's eyes.
Li Shuo stared at him quietly for two seconds, nodded with a smile, and raised his wine glass: "For the past and the future." ”
"For the past and for the future." Han Feiye raised his glass and touched him lightly.
The two chatted while eating, talking about interesting things in the past, laughing regardless of the image, mentioning mutual friends, and also full of emotion, Li Shuo realized that he hadn't chatted with people so freely for a long time, it should be said that he hadn't met a friend with such a common topic for a long time.
He knew Han Feiye, and he knew this person's hobbies, thoughts, principles, and beliefs, just as Han Feiye knew him.
It's been a long time since I've felt this feeling.
They had eaten this meal for more than two hours, and they were still unsatisfied, but unfortunately the restaurant was about to close.
After checking out, Li Shuo asked, "Where is your car parked?" ”
"I didn't find a parking space when I came, and I parked a little far."
"It's a bit chaotic around here at night, I'll send you there."
Han Feiye nodded with a smile.
The two walked side by side along the street at night, Han Feiye touched his stomach, and a rare childish smile appeared on his always calm face: "I've eaten so much, I haven't eaten so much for a long time." ”
"You don't know how to diet, you're already so thin, you really need to make up for it in the future."
"I haven't deliberately dieted, but sometimes I'm too lazy to eat when I'm busy with work, and I really don't have much appetite when I'm alone." There was a hint of loneliness in Han Feiye's tone.
Li Shuo said softly: "Then you should find someone to accompany you." ”
Han Feiye tilted his head to look at him: "I think so too." The plain cold and calm eyes were full of burning heat at this time.
Li Shuo's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt something.
Han Feiye took two quick steps, then turned around, blocked in front of Li Shuo, and said generously, "Xiao Shuo, is it still possible?" ”
Li Shuo looked at Han Feiye quietly, and something sour was surging in his heart. It's been 12 years, things are not people, and that kind of feeling for personnel changes makes him feel lost. He whispered, "Feiye, I don't know. ”
He looked at Han Feiye, as if he saw the youth at the beginning, he had loved and resented, and now those loves and resentments have all turned into dust, falling a layer of dust on the past, and they have become irrelevant.
Is it still possible for them? He really didn't know, he only knew that the person he was thinking about was not Han Feiye, but the person he was thinking about was probably not anyone in his heart, so why did he bother to find a narrow path.
Han Feiye smiled softly: "I knew you would answer like this, but I didn't know either." But, since we are both single, since we can still talk so well and still appreciate each other, then I want to try, Xiaoshuo, I understand you, what you want is by no means a momentary ---, especially at our age, I want to have a home, and you are the same. ”
Family.
This word poked into Li Shuo's heart.
After the age of thirty, he began to look for a suitable partner to start a family, and when he reached this age, he began to play again, completely contrary to his original intention.
As Han Feiye said, he wanted to have a home.
This word is so moving.
He chuckled, "Yes, I want to." ”
"Let's try it, then." Han Feiye spread his hands, "You don't have to answer me now, I hope we get along like friends like this, let it be, I just need you to remember what I said tonight, remember that you still make my heart move." ”
Li Shuo pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "Okay." Feiye, I've always believed in fate, this time let's see where fate can take us. ”
Maybe Zhao Jinxin is just a passerby, maybe Han Feiye is the destination, maybe he has been going around for so many years, just to finally meet the right person.
