Shu Jin, who went to sleep after the confession, recalled the scene of saying this to Sheng Xinghe many times in his dream.

On a summer evening when we ate ice icing together, after hiding under a tree and kissing while walking the dog together, making cakes together, traveling together, or when we were doing a certain intense exercise, lost voice.

He once said "I love you" to Sheng Xinghe many times, but on the day of the breakup, Sheng Xinghe asked him, "Have you ever loved me?"

Shu Jin didn't give an answer that day, but kept telling Sheng Xinghe "I love you" in his heart.

In the past few years, don't know if Sheng Xinghe heard it.

This time Sheng Xinghe heard it.

When Shu Jin woke up, the sky became a little dark. There was only a small high window in the cubicle, and a few gray clouds could be seen in the sky outside.

They still maintained the posture they had when they fell asleep, and Sheng Xinghe was awake, with his eyes on him.

Shu Jin rubbed his eyes, then closed his eyes and rubbed against Sheng Xinghe's arms: "Has the alarm clock ringed yet?"

Sheng Xinghe: "I turned it off."

Shu Jin said "Oh" and asked, "What time is it?"

Sheng Xinghe said: "Four o'clock in the afternoon." His tone was calm, and he asked, "Would you like to sleep for a while?"

Shu Jin was startled when he heard the words, and immediately awake, and quickly sat up and said, "Why have I slept for so long", then rubbed his left arm again, keeping it in a sleeping position for a long time and it was already numb.

Looking back, saw Sheng Xinghe also sitting up, but still looking at him quietly, with deep emotions in his eyes, he thought something was going to happen.

Shu Jin opened his mouth to ask, Sheng Xinghe leaned over and kissed him on his lips, with a bit of sucking strength, but it was short-lived, and he would stop at the touch.

There was a faint noise between the kisses, and Shu Jin's face instantly became hot, and she sat blankly not knowing what to do.

After Sheng Xinghe kissed Shu Jin's forehead, he said in a deep voice, "You can lie down for a while, or play with the computer outside for a while. I still have a few things left to deal with, and I will call them together at 6:30. have dinner."

Sure enough, by the end of the night, Sheng Xinghe brought a few people who were working overtime in the company to dine together. As one of the bosses, he arranged everyone to work overtime. Of course, Sheng Xinghe was the target of the slaughter. Moreover, when Shu Jin came, these people were even more interested.

When we arrived at the destination, there happened to be a mobile phone shop nearby. Sheng Xinghe asked Jiang Jiang to order food first, and he took Shu Jin to pick a mobile phone.

Shu Jin's phone hasn't been changed for several years, so he just picked the latest model.

A mobile phone is worth more than half a month's salary. He wrinkled his face and felt very distressed. He couldn't help but miss his old mobile phone.

Sheng Xinghe paid the money and took him to make up the card. Only then did Shu Jin find a sense of reconnecting with the world.

The new mobile phone has more functions, and the system has been updated more. Shu Jin's attention was diverted on the way back to the restaurant.

"It's worth it. I knew I would replace it sooner." Shu Jin commented and sighed, "If you change it earlier, the old one can still be replaced with the new one."

Sheng Xinghe ruthlessly pointed out: "Then what you lose this time will be a new phone."

Shu Jin: "..." It makes sense.

When Sheng Xinghe finished complaining, he was ordered not to look at the phone again: "Take it away and walk well."

They were standing outside the mall, and there were many children gathered by the brightly lit fountain, and red lanterns and Chinese knots were hung everywhere.

Shu Jin put the phone in his jacket pocket, walked a few steps side by side with Sheng Xinghe, and was naturally held by Sheng Xinghe.

There are people coming and going on the street, and someone may notice them.

But Sheng Xinghe didn't seem to care about this at all. He was no longer the boy in the past. He had completely become an adult with enough confidence to go his own way. So no matter how others would judge them, it didn't matter to him.

Shu Jin only hesitated for a second, then quietly held Sheng Xinghe back, forgetting the freshness of the new phone he just bought, and watching Sheng Xinghe's right face the whole time.

Shu Jin guessed that Sheng Xinghe already knew that he had something to hide from him.

After using the old mobile phone for a few years, the cheap and cramped residence, the house sold at the home mentioned last time, and all his current food and clothing expenses, it can be seen that his financial situation has taken place a lot. The change.

It can be said that the current Shu Jin is completely different from the past Shu Jin.

The world seemed to have turned over, and now he and Sheng Xinghe had turned around.

Fortunately, they are still trying to get closer to each other.

During the meal, Sheng Xinghe officially introduced Shu Jin to everyone. Without any extra prefix, he said in his usual concise tone: "My boyfriend, Shu Jin."

Everyone applauded and booed.

Shu Jin reluctantly kept herself from blushing and not embarrassed, and earning face for Sheng Xinghe.

It's a pity that when he picked up the chopsticks he almost couldn't hold it firmly. The phrase "boyfriend" made his heartbeat very disobedient, because this was the first time they used such a title to determine the identity of the other person, not a "friend". Not "brother", but boyfriend.

"Shu Jin, I heard Jiang Jiang mention you!" said the young male colleague who was holding chocolates at Sheng Xinghe's table in the morning, "I heard that you met only when President Sheng was on a business trip last time. !"

Shu Jin looked up and saw Jiang Jiang winking at him. He also relaxed a little: "Well, I won a luxury tour at the company's annual meeting, and I happened to meet him on a business trip."

The male colleague slapped his thigh: "It's such a coincidence, it's destined at first sight!"

The corners of Sheng Xinghe's lips rose, and he was in a good mood.

Shu Jin also smiled: "It's because of my luck. Maybe the lucky value has been accumulated until that day."

Jiang Jiang said: "Shu Jin broke his knee that day. After returning home, Mr. Sheng arranged for me to buy medicine. I didn't even get out of the elevator, so I went straight downstairs."

She said something that Shu Jin didn't know, and joked, "I haven't seen Mr. Sheng who cares so much about anyone. Why did he care about it in the elevator without saying anything to others? Later, Sheng. My husband called the hotel to complain that the swimming pool floor was too slippery, so I knew what was going on~"

What's the matter?

Shu Jin was embarrassed and immediately turned his head and said to Sheng Xinghe: "Actually, the ground of the hotel is not slippery at all. I tripped on it myself. The hotel is really a bit wronged. Or... I'll call to explain to them."

Sheng Xinghe gracefully arranged dishes for him, jokingly: "It's okay, the hotel owner dare not have any opinions."

Shu Jin was shocked, is Sheng Xinghe so dizzy!

Another older male colleague answered, "Hahahashu, please don’t worry, the boss is Mr. Sheng’s old friend! Otherwise, why would he stay there every time Mr. Sheng goes? But that’s how he met him. Yours."

Sheng Xinghe: "So I have to send him a red envelope?"

Everyone laughed.

Halfway through the meal, someone arrived late and opened the door.

The visitors were all tall, and they looked familiar. Everyone called him "Mr. Jing." Shu Jin vaguely remembered that this was Sheng Xinghe's college classmate Jing Chao. Sheng Xinghe mentioned him last time.

Jing Chao took a seat and asked people to add dishes and chopsticks, and exchanged a few words "Happy New Year" with everyone, and looked straight to Shu Jin: "Long time no see."

The other person's eyes seemed to be a sharp blade, and when he looked straight into his heart, Shu Jin was a little bit shocked: "Long time no see."

But in the next second, Jing Chao showed his white teeth and said heartily: "I ran over here specially when I heard that you were here. This time I will help Mr. Sheng to look at you. You can't remember to run. Come on!"

Sheng Xinghe raised his eyes: "Drink your tea."

It was originally just a simple meal, because Shu Jin's identity relationship has almost become his reception feast, and the meal was enjoyable.

Shu Jin did not reject such an arrangement. In fact, it was not until this night that he really understood what Sheng Xinghe's working environment and interpersonal relationships were like, rather than in illusory fantasy.

After the meal, everyone said goodbye at the door. Shu Jin drank two glasses of wine and was a little dizzy. Sheng Xinghe went to the intersection to call for a car.

Jing Chao, who stayed with him, suddenly said, "Don't leave him this time."

The cold wind shaved his face, and Shu Jin was startled, only to see Jing Chao's expression a little serious.

Seeing his surprise, Jing Chao smiled again, and said in a slow tone: "Don't be nervous, I'm just an outsider, and I know that it's not easy for you. If it were me, I might also...but you are not the same. , Shu Jin, I believe you will be different."

Shu Jin lowered his head, pondered for two or three seconds, and nodded: "Yeah!"

Jing Chao didn't say how Sheng Xinghe lived in those years, nor did he accuse Shu Jin. He just told him one thing: "I know you will be different. Guess what?"

Shu Jin: "What?"

Jing Chao said: "Two years ago, Sheng Xinghe asked me that there is a kind of artificial eye technology that has been matured. Apart from being unable to restore vision, the appearance looks almost the same as ordinary people. He said that if he accepts this technological transformation , If you look back to you, will the burden in your heart be easier."

Shu Jin froze completely, and there was a blank in his mind.

Two years ago?

At that time, they hadn't met again. Had Sheng Xinghe, who had always been proud, ever planned to do that?

"As you can see, of course he didn't do it later." Jing Chao said, "I don't approve of him doing that. If he personally has this requirement, it is understandable. Everyone has to make themselves look better. He’s right, but I know him too well. He didn’t care about it at all. If he performed surgery just to make others look at him pleasing to the eye, then his part of himself would be completely disintegrated. At that time, we quarreled. It's quite powerful. He wanted to ask my opinion, and refused to listen to me. He insisted on going his own way. He even did a preoperative check. But in the end, I don't know why he didn't go. I thought he gave up."

Shu Jin's eyes were red and she looked a bit pitiful.

Jing Chao said, "This time he came back from a business trip, and I knew he still didn't let you go."

A car came slowly towards them.

Sheng Xinghe called the car and walked back along the curb.

Jing Chao: "In other words, it is impossible for him to let you go." w Please keep in mind:,,,
