Shen Xinglan pretended not to hear Le Yi’s proposal, but he was aware that something was going beyond his control.
“Tell everyone, we will start investigating the subsidiary tomorrow.” Shen Xinglan gave instructions to Shen II at 2 o’clock in midnight.
Shen II asked, “Do I have to call Shen III back?” If they went out, they would be shorthanded with only him around.
“Where is Shen I?” Shen Xinglan suddenly remembered that he still had questions to ask his stupid subordinate.”
Shen II stuttered and said carefully, “He came back, but you sent him back…”
“Call him now, I want to see him before I leave.”
Snapped! Realizing the phone was hung, Shen II swallowed the words back that he was unable to speak.
Early in the next morning, A Miao heard the noises in the corridor. She turned over and continued sleeping. Le Yi was standing downstairs with his arms crossed and watching Shen Xinglan lingering up and down.
“What are you doing?”
Shen Xinglan unnaturally looked at A Miao’s room. “Is this woman a pig? Why hasn’t she gotten up?”
“Shen II told me that you are going to inspect the subsidiaries. It’s too sudden.”
Shen Xinglan seriously walked downstairs and looked at Le Yi. “Temporary work arrangements. By the way, how long will you stay here?”
“By the time when you come back, I will leave.” Le Yi shrugged his shoulders. “As your good friend, I have an obligation to remind you that even if you run into outer space, you can’t escape from it.”
Shen Xinglan walked past him. “In that case, I have to eliminate the people who influence me.”
“Shen!” Le Yi called him. “Why do you torture yourself?”
“You don’t understand.” Shen Xinglan closed his eyes. “I will have only one woman in my life, Shanshan. I will never allow others to steal her position from my heart, never…”
Shen Xinglan clenched his fist and left. Le Yi shook his head and sighed, “When can you undo the knot in your mind?”
As for A Miao, there was nothing more relaxing than Shen Xinglan was not around. She studied, ate, and slept every day. The only change was that she and Le Yi became more familiar.
“Shen is coming back tomorrow.” When she was having dinner tonight, Le Yi reminded her.
A Miao was stunned and blurted out, “Tonight? It’s too fast.”
“It has been ten days.” Le Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “You have already ignored what I did to you before. Why can’t you forgive Shen?”
“That’s not the same.” A Miao wiped her mouth. “You rarely lose your temper and you are polite to everyone. Even if I don’t like you, I will not be angry with someone who smiles every day.”
“What’s more, you didn’t do anything unforgivable to me.” A Miao curled her lips. “As for Shen Xinglan, I don’t hold a grudge against him. To tell the truth, I am grateful to him, at least he set me free.”
Le Yi nodded. “I understand.”
He actually knew that he should blame Shen Xinglan for this. “If he didn’t satirize A Miao every time they met, A Miao would not always argue with him.”
“When I start school in September, I will go to live in school. We won’t have to endure each other anymore.” A Miao stretched out and said, “I am going to read books!”
Le Yi stopped her. “I am leaving. This is for you.”
“A ring?” A Miao did not reach out.
“There is an anesthetic inside.” Le Yi pressed it, and a slender needle popped up.
A Miao was terrified and took it over. “Are you a doctor?”
“What kind of doctor carries this kind of thing…”
“Hehe, the medicine is mine and it works well. As long as it pricks someone for a second, he will be paralyzed.” Le Yi smiled. “The organ is made by one of our friends. Since you are now with Shen, you will see him sooner or later.”
A Miao stopped smiling and seriously looked at Le Yi. “Thank you!” Then she reached out and said, “Thank you for being willing to be my friend.”
“Don’t say that.” Le Yi reached out to shake her hands. “You are a good girl. Next time when I come…”
“What will happen next time?” Seeing that he did not finish, A Miao curiously asked. Then she seemed to understand something and said with a smile, “Oh, we are friends now. I will not forget you!”
Le Yi patted her shoulder. “That’s good!”
“What I want to say is, I hope you have a happy ending with Shen when I see you next time…”
When Le Yi left, A Miao suddenly asked him, “Shen Xinglan will come back tomorrow! Do you want to wait for him?”
“No, we don’t have to meet, unless there is something.” Le Yi opened the car door and sat in, “Take care!”
A Miao waved her hand. “Goodbye!”
In the evening, when she took a shower, she rocked her brain. “The relationship between Le Yi and Shen Xinglan seemed not as the same as she thought. Shen Xinglan can never be homosexual. As for Le Yi, what a pity if such a nice man adores a man!”
“Achoo.” Shen Xinglan suddenly sneezed on the plane.
“What time is it?” He closed the document.
Shen II looked at the watch and replied, “It is 12 o’clock in midnight.”
“Take them away.” Shen Xinglan pushed the file away. Shen I popped his head from the door. “Boss, do you want something to eat?”
“I am not hungry.” He looked at Shen II. “You can go to eat.”
Shen I blinked to Shen II, indicating that they could go together when he heard Shen Xinglan saying, “Shen I stays. I have something to ask you.”
…
Breaking off Shen I’s fingers on his arm, Shen II left without looking back.
“Boss… I haven’t made a mistake recently…” Shen I bitterly came over and asked, “Why don’t you just tell me what do you want and don’t keep me flying on the plane.”
Shen Xinglan flicked his spotless cuffs and looked at Shen I with a strange expression. Just when Shen I thought that his boss was going to abandon him, he suddenly heard a sound.
“Are you a virgin man?”
Shen I: “Will I die if I say No…”
“I am!” He said without hesitation.
Seeing Shen Xinglan narrow his eyes, Shen I suddenly realized that he was not the reason why his boss asked the question, so he tempted to ask, “Boss, did you…”
“No.” Shen Xinglan said immediately.
Shen I sighed and muttered, “It is normal if you did. Normal men will not only have wet dreams but also a reaction every morning.”
“I have never been there.”
Shen Xinglan would never say that. He coughed with a fist in front of his mouth. “You… At that time, who is in your dream?”
“Oh… sometimes it was like a cat or a snake!” Shen I answered seriously and then found his Boss’s eyes changed.
“No… I mean…”
Shen Xinglan raised his hand and interrupted him. “Go out.”
“I must be crazy to consult a pervert!”
Shen I left with a dejected look. After seeing Shen II, he was especially wronged and threw himself into Shen II’s arms until Shen II kicked him off.
“He just wanted to say that sometimes it was a Catwoman, flirting with him with her tail. Sometimes it was a woman who could wriggle and had a good waist like a snake!”
Woo, woo…
Because Shen Xinglan was coming back, A Miao became very nervous from the early morning. However, one person came before Shen Xinglan did.
“Why do you come?” Seeing Zhou Xiao, A Miao was surprised. “How did you come?”
Zhou Xiao triumphantly walked in and said, “I took the bus to the foot of the mountain, and then came up on foot!” She leaped to the sofa as if this was her home. “Give me some food and drink. I am too tired.”
“From the foot to the top, you have to walk at least half an hour. Are you not afraid a heatstroke in such a hot day?” A Miao quickly took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator and gave it to her. “Auntie Song allow you to come?”
Last weekend, when Zhou Xiao wanted to come, Song Baohua stopped her and confiscated her wallet.
“She doesn’t know!” Zhou Xiao said proudly. “I borrowed ten yuan from the aunt who sells fruit at the door.”
A Miao was anxious. “You are too hasty. Auntie Song will be worried when she cannot find you.” She shot Zhou Xiao a glare and took out her mobile phone to call Song Baohua.
“Yes, she is here with me.”
“Rest assured, Auntie Song. Ok, I know.”
Seeing her hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiao carefully came over and asked, “What did she say? Is she angry?”
“You tell me.” A Miao angrily patted her head. “Don’t do this again. If you really want to come, I will pick you up.”
“I know you are the best!” Zhou Xiao shook her arm. “Well, where is your doctor friend?”
A Miao rubbed the space between her eyebrows and answered, “He’s gone.”
“Gone?” Zhou Xiao’s face darkened. “I still haven’t caught up!”
A Miao was very clear about her thought. However, Zhou Xiao would not listen to her. Fortunately, they had no chance to meet again.
“What do you want to eat? I will cook for you.” A Miao thought for a moment and said, “I will send you back after you finish eating.”
Zhou Xiao said in an angry voice, “Are you crazy? I barely managed to walk up and you want me to go back?”
“You can’t stay here today.” A Miao said to her, “Shen Xinglan is coming back soon.”
“Shen Xinglan?” Zhou Xiao looked interested. “That’s just in time! I haven’t met him yet. Let me have a look.”
A Miao immediately said, “No, you can’t see him.”
“Why?” Zhou Xiao’s face changed. “If I have a boyfriend, I will ask him to buy you dinner. However, look at you. You are getting married and I have not seen your fiance.”
“Enough.” A Miao knew that she couldn’t understand, so she gave up communicating with her. “I am going to prepare you something delicious, and I will send you back immediately.”
Zhou Xiao snorted, “A Miao, enough! What are you worried about? Are you worried about that I will seduce your fiance, or are you worried that your fiance will love me?”
“What are you talking about?” A Miao’s face turned ugly. “Zhou Xiao, how did you become like this?”
“It is you who have changed!” Zhou Xiao shouted. “You used to agree with everything I said. Now that you are married to a rich man and don’t want me to be your friend.”
A Miao looked at Zhou Xiao, who was yelling, and suddenly thought of a sentence that she saw somewhere.
“One hundred minus one is equal to zero.” You had done 99 things for her, but you were unable to do the 100th one. After she was rejected, the 99 things that you had done for her before were gone.
Without knowing how to face Zhou Xiao, A Miao heard a voice coming from the door.
