Standing in front of a whole row of winter plush slippers, Shu Jin carefully selected and quickly locked a pair of dark gray suede shoes with a thin fleece lining. There is heating in the house and the floor is very warm, but it is still too inconvenient to walk around in socks.

In the morning, when Shu Jin saw Sheng Xinghe standing on the ground just like that, he always felt neglected in his heart.

When choosing the size, Shu Jin hesitated for a long time. He didn't know Sheng Xinghe's size. After so many years, Sheng Xinghe's height seemed a little different from what he had originally thought.

It took a while at this step, and Sheng Xinghe was still there when Shu Jin returned to the place just now, but was answering the phone.

The shopping mall was quite noisy. In addition to the crowds, the speakers kept playing congratulations on the New Year. When Sheng Xinghe saw him coming, he looked at his hand, and Shu Jin immediately threw the slippers into the pusher. In the car, the ears are hot, and pretend to look at the goods on the shelves next to me naturally.

The earlobe was pinched.

The fingers were warm and the movements were very light.

Shu Jin heard Sheng Xinghe say in his usual tone very close behind him: "Well, you can call me at any time if you have any questions."

"If there is an urgent need for approval, I will find Jing Chao, he has nothing to do anyway."

"Happy New Year."

The phone hung up.

Shu Jin looked back and asked, "Is it work?"

He didn't know how long Sheng Xinghe could stay here, nor asked this question, and suddenly felt that the time they could stay together might be very short.

"It's Jiang Jiang." Sheng Xinghe said, "My assistant, you met last time."

"Oh." Shu Jin remembered the girl, and the other person was there on the day he had a fever, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "She knows us..."

Sheng Xinghe: "I know."

Shu Jin: "Will she find it weird?"

Although the times have changed and young people don't care about gender, Sheng Xinghe is different after all. Shu Jin's first reaction turned out to be whether it will affect him.

"No." Sheng Xinghe said, "They all know my sexual orientation."

After buying everything, the two slowly moved the cart to the cashier counter.

This was the first time they talked about topics related to Sheng Xinghe's work and life. Shu Jin didn't know anything about them. Sheng Xinghe has developed too fast these years. Sheng Xinghe graduated from university at the age of 20 because of his grade skipping. Instead of choosing to study for graduate school, he started a small company with his classmates. In the beginning, only did small and inconspicuous projects. After getting the first real investment, showed brilliance. Because the technology is too new, many people commented that they were lucky and made the first pot of gold by using the sword and speculation. They were not optimistic about them. But Sheng Xinghe's team got a bigger springboard two years ago, backed by the big tree to enjoy the coolness, and now everyone can't deny the fact that they are still taking off.

These are very one-sided news that Shu Jin learned from the Internet.

Sheng Xinghe said to Shu Jin: "There are only 18 people in our team. The management has a married, a single foreigner, and a foreigner you know, so you don't have to worry about them feeling a fuss."

"I know?" Shu Jin asked, "Who?"

"Jing Chao." Sheng Xinghe said, "My college roommate, you have met."

Only then did Shu Jin remember it, no wonder he felt familiar when he heard the name just now.

They seemed to have seen it two or three times, and they had the impression that he was a tall and dark boy, and he was very hearty. At that time, Shu Jin knew that they were starting a company together, and that Jing Chao's family was in good condition, but he didn't expect that they would have worked together until now.

Sheng Xinghe: "The first investment was given by his dad."

He briefly talked to Shu Jin about what happened in the past few years, and unknowingly they had already arrived at the cash register.

There is a long line here. It is rare for two young boys who seem to be close to come together to buy things, not to mention Sheng Xinghe's overly eye-catching appearance. Some children in the line peeked at Sheng Xinghe's gray eyes, and other customers cast curious glances at him.

Sheng Xinghe didn't realize that he had been immune to these investigations for so many years.

Shu Jin only felt that those gazes were just like cast on him, like a thorn, scratching his heart, he suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have brought Sheng Xinghe to a place with so many people, Sheng Xinghe shouldn't be here like an alien. Let anyone look at it.

"Is it difficult at that time?" Shu Jin asked, "that's when you haven't got the investment yet."

"Fortunately." Sheng Xinghe said, "At most, it is just living in the basement and eating instant noodles. Everyone does not feel bitter to work hard together, and the time is relatively short, only about half a year."

That was six months after Sheng Xinghe completely left the Shu family.

Shu Jin didn't ask at that time, he didn't care about it, he didn't dare, and he was not qualified.

The line is almost reaching them.

Sheng Xinghe said: "I have the opportunity to arrange a meeting for you, Jing Chaoren is good."

Shu Jin was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll talk again when I have a chance."

This answer was somewhat perfunctory. Sheng Xinghe understood what Shu Jin was thinking, but didn't say anything, just moved with the team.

The checkout begins.

Originally, Shu Jin lowered his head, but his eyes swept across the row of things near the cash register.

Sheng Xinghe took the things out of the cart one by one, and was talking to the cashier. His profile was very nice. Standing on his right side, Shu Jin looked at him secretly. Knowing that he couldn't see himself, he looked at the small boxes of different colors again.

There are many brands, many sizes, and even different flavors.

Shu Jin hadn't studied it. The only experience he only bought was once, and he bought it wrong, and that was not a pleasant experience.

Very panic at that time.

In the room on the second floor, Shu Jin's hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't do anything after several attempts. Sheng Xinghe helped, and finally pressed him to the floor and laughed. Shu Jin became angry and beat him on the shoulder.

Shu Jin didn't dare to look at it when he bought it. He grabbed a box and threw it into his pocket. You can't blame him for buying it wrong. It's not true that Sheng Xinghe only hits the side ball every time.

Sheng Xinghe hadn't bought it at that time. He stopped laughing and hugged Shu Jin in front of him. The two looked at the outer box together, and after they were sure it was the wrong size, they threw the box into the trash can.

But the housekeeper saw it when she was cleaning up.

She told Shu Zhaoyuan about it.

There are two boys in the family, one is 20 years old and the other just turned 18. They all go through sex education in adolescence. It’s okay to start dating after college, but young people are not mature enough. If they hurt a girl or do something bad, it will affect their life.

Shu Zhaoyuan received the call and rushed back from the field overnight.

He didn't find Sheng Xinghe, and went straight to the second floor to open his son's door.

For a long time afterwards, Shu Jin was thankful that Sheng Xinghe did not stay at home that night, but went to school, otherwise Shu Zhaoyuan would definitely find a surprise in his room.

"Who bought it?" Shu Zhaoyuan was straightforward, "Is it Xiaosheng?"

Shu Jin said, "I bought it."

Shu Zhaoyuan asked seriously: "Did you bring the girl home?"

Shu Jin: "No."

Shu Zhaoyuan might rarely reflect on the next day, feeling that his tone was too bad. Shu Jin grew up in a single-parent family, and he gave very little company. Perhaps as a father, he should guide his son.

He said to Shu Jin: "Daddy didn't mean to teach you last night. It's normal for you to want to fall in love when you grow up. But you are only 18 years old. Is it too early to have a relationship with your love partner now? You didn't tell me how old the girl is and what the family conditions are."

Shu Jin had to say: "I'm not in love."

Shu Zhaoyuan: "Then why are you buying that kind of stuff?"

Shu Jin made up indiscriminately, saying that he was just curious, and then exposed the matter.

Shu Zhaoyuan finally said helplessly: "Be good, it's fine if you don't. You are still young, it's best not to fall in love so early, if you really want to talk, you must first tell your dad, I will give you a check."

After the checkout, Sheng Xinghe took out his mobile phone to pay.

Shu Jin immediately recovered and said he was coming, but Sheng Xinghe didn't give him this opportunity.

The two returned home with big bags and small bags. Sheng Xinghe checked the time, and before noon, he said, "I'm going to get the luggage."

Shu Jin was surprised: "Did you bring your luggage?"

He thought that Sheng Xinghe came here temporarily.

"Well, it was placed in the hotel yesterday." Sheng Xinghe said, seeing his expression, bending his lips again, "Shu Jin, I also want face."

After finishing speaking, Sheng Xinghe lowered his head and bit his lips, "I don't know if you lied to me last time. If so, I would be too affectionate when I came to the door with my luggage."

Shu Jin immediately understood.

Sheng Xinghe was saying that the last time he asked him if he was in a relationship, his answer was no.

But the five-year separation is too long, full of too many uncertainties. Sheng Xinghe is proud to be proud. Even if he can see through Shu Jin’s heart, he has to force Shu Jin to say the answer himself, but he is still too uncertain. .

From one city to another, to meet someone who can't give an answer.

Seeing that he appeared at the door of Shu Jin's house in a strong and irresistible manner, in fact, Sheng Xinghe put down almost everything.

Shu Jin was very sad, and found out his conscience said: "Is it important? I'll go with you."

"No, you can organize the things you just bought at home." Sheng Xinghe said, adding by the way, "Remember to put my slippers in the cabinet at the door."
