Jiang Xuan stared at the boy at the door in a daze. He paused holding the cigarette until the flame burned his fingers. Then he suddenly came to his senses and extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray as if nothing had happened.

He was the first to react, his eyes dimmed, and he smiled hoarsely: “Xiaodong, come in and sit down.”

Lin Ziran stood at the door. Although he knew that his drastic change in appearance might attract attention, he did not expect the effect to be so good… This made him a little uneasy.

His outfit was indeed somewhat out of place for this kind of occasion. His previous outfit was more suitable for fishing in troubled waters here. Lin Ziran couldn’t help but feel a little worried. Changing clothes was relatively simple, but he couldn’t dye his hair once when he saw Ning Bai and dye it again when he saw Jiang Xuan… It would be exhausting and unrealistic!

It is really hard to be a double licker!

Forget it, let’s just leave it at that. Maybe after a few times, everyone will get used to it…

Lin Ziran calmed down and came to Jiang Xuan as usual, showing a flattering smile: “Xuan Ge.”

Jiang Xuan was used to seeing Lu Xiaodong’s flattering look, and should have been accustomed to it, but today he met the boy’s bright eyes, his gaze moved down to his thin waist, and suddenly his Adam’s apple rolled, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

This suit suits him very well, clean and fresh, without any of the ostentatiousness of the past, but it makes people unable to look away…

Fu Wenyao and the others stared at Lin Ziran with a dazed look on their faces. After a while, they came back to their senses and said in an exaggerated tone: “Xiaodong, have you taken the wrong medicine recently?”

Lin Ziran thought to himself, you took the wrong medicine, can’t you bear to see me in my normal state? He patted Fu Wenyao’s head and said in a bad mood: “I changed my clothes and it annoys you.”

Fu Wenyao was not willing to be outdone and said: “The problem is that this is not your style!”

Lin Ziran snorted coldly: “Why do you care what I want to wear?”

Fu Wenyao said sarcastically: “You are my good friend, I am worried about you? Are you irritated?”

Lin Ziran: “You are the one who is irritated!”

Fu Wenyao: “I’m not!”

Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, Jiang Xuan looked helpless and gave a meaningful glance toward Fu Wenyao: “Enough.”

Fu Wenyao shrank his neck, thinking that he should not have been arguing in front of Xuan Ge just now, and he quickly smiled flatteringly: “Is it right? I’m sorry, I’ll drink a glass as a punishment.”

Because of Fu Wenyao’s previous experience, everyone stopped questioning Lin Ziran and started to have fun again.

The box was noisy again, with neon lights flashing across faces that were either excited, obsessed or crazy. The place was filled with intoxication and decadence, almost blinding the eyes.

But Jiang Xuan could only see the person in front of him.

Jiang Xuan lazily sat on the sofa, stretched out his hand and patted the seat beside him, with a rare friendly expression and a low and pleasant voice: “Sit here, Xiaodong.”

Lin Ziran sat over obediently, blinked his eyes and said flatteringly: “Xuan Ge, would you like something to drink? I’ll get it for you?”

Jiang Xuan’s eyes fell on the boy’s face. It was obviously the same person, the same voice, except for the change of clothes, but it seemed that something was different. But if he was asked to put it into words, he couldn’t put it into words…

He coughed lightly: “No need.”

Lin Ziran sat next to Jiang Xuan, feeling nervous and awkward, racking his brains to think of how to be a good bootlicker. After watching others finish singing, he said to Jiang Xuan earnestly: “Xuan Ge, do you want to sing? I’ll go get you some songs!”

That location is far away from Jiang Xuan and not crowded, perfect!

Jiang Xuan shook his head. He almost never sang. Only a tactless guy like Lu Xiaodong would ask such a question after following him for so long.

Don’t eat, drink, or sing, so why are you here? Lin Ziran rolled his eyes, helped Jiang Xuan get a cigarette, and leaned over to say: “Can I light it for you?”

Jiang Xuan finally showed a trace of helplessness. I know you want to please me, but aren’t you trying too hard?

Jiang Xuan pressed Lin Ziran’s hand and said in a low voice: “No need.”

This made Lin Ziran very embarrassed. Jiang Xuan didn’t want this or that, so he just sat next to him. It would be inappropriate for him to take out his phone to play…

Isn’t it the same as taking a nap under the teacher’s nose?

That’s disrespectful to DaGe!

So boring and hard to bear!

Jiang Xuan saw Lin Ziran’s embarrassment. After the boy found out that he couldn’t do anything, he was at a loss and embarrassed… Suddenly he found it a little funny, and a smile appeared in his eyes that he didn’t even notice.

Maybe he didn’t pay enough attention to him before, so he didn’t find his lovely side…

Jiang Xuan’s voice became softer, he looked at him with deep eyes, and raised the corners of his lips: “How about you sing?”

After saying that, he directly signaled the XiaoDi who was choosing songs in front to help Lin Ziran change the song.

Lin Ziran didn’t really want to sing, but Jiang Xuan had already spoken, so he should be flattered! Besides, his singing wasn’t good, so he definitely wouldn’t want to listen to it again. Thinking of this, Lin Ziran’s eyes lit up, and he said generously: “Okay, thank you, Xuan Ge, I won’t be polite then!”

Then he took the microphone, took a deep breath, and sang at the top of his lungs!

The music in the private room was loud and deafening, but Lin Ziran’s singing was even more shocking and could not be ignored.

“So close your eyes for now~”

“My expectations float in the darkness~”

“It makes me feel so unlovable~”

Hahahaha, there are actually real-life songs in the game, and he happens to be able to sing them. With the idea of making everyone never want to hear them a second time after hearing them once, Lin Ziran sang very hard.

Fu Wenyao and the others showed painful expressions, wishing they could go up and grab the microphone and beat up Lin Ziran, but when they saw Lin Ziran sitting next to Jiang Xuan, who was listening attentively, they immediately gave up the idea of taking action…

Jiang Xuan didn’t even say anything, and he and others went to grab the microphone? Is it appropriate? Is it appropriate? Not appropriate!

Lin Ziran saw that no one was competing with him for the microphone, so he could only sing a few songs and yelled fiercely. Not to mention that he found some feeling while singing, it seemed that he had vented a lot of the frustration he had in recent days.

Wait until he gets tired of singing.

Then he turned around nervously to look at Jiang Xuan, but he unexpectedly saw Jiang Xuan’s smiling face…

Jiang Xuan clapped his hands and said with a smile: “You sang well, drink some water to moisten your throat.” Then he brought him a glass of water.

Lin Ziran took the water blankly: “…”

As expected of a boss, his slyness is different, in stark contrast to Fu Wenyao and the others. The other XiaoDi were almost fainting from the pain, but Jiang Xuan had no reaction at all! He even had the mood to let him drink water…

Wait, isn’t Jiang Xuan a little too easygoing today?

Seeing Lin Ziran’s blank look, Jiang Xuan coughed lightly, realizing that his change in attitude might make him uncomfortable, and lit a cigarette somewhat uncomfortably.

Lin Ziran didn’t dare to look at Jiang Xuan anymore, he lowered his head and sipped the water from the glass.

Jiang Xuan’s eyes fell on the boy’s handsome profile, slender neck and half of his collarbone. Although his appearance was not stunning, his skin was glowing white. Boys of this age… don’t need too much dressing up and embellishment. In fact, he looks his best.

And some unprecedented thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind.

The boy was lying on his bed, and said tearfully, Xuan Ge, I can’t take it anymore, please…

Once this thought comes into being, it cannot be shaken off.

Jiang Xuan’s throat tightened, he looked away, and asked in a nonchalant tone: “What have you been busy with recently? I haven’t seen you for a few days.”

Lin Ziran thought about the plot, revealed an infatuated expression, and said: “I’ve fallen in love with someone recently and am pursuing him. I will definitely get him!”

Jiang Xuan pursed his lips when he heard this, and a hint of depression emerged in his heart, but he did not show it, and instead said: “Is that the one who called the police last time?”

Lin Ziran looked embarrassed: “Yes…”

Jiang Xuan looked at him with an expression of DaGe, and taught him in a deep voice: “If someone doesn’t like you, don’t force it. Do you want to go to the police station again? Don’t cry and beg me again when the time comes…”

Lin Ziran was even more embarrassed, and lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake: “I’m sorry…”

Seeing Lin Ziran like this, Jiang Xuan’s accumulated anger suddenly dissipated, making it impossible for him to be cruel.

But what replaced it was jealousy. This kid who used to always revolve around him and always tried to please him suddenly fell in love with someone else and ignored him.

He was not by his side these days, but was being attentive to another person…

Showing a flattering smile to another person…

These originally belonged to him alone.

Jiang Xuan’s eyes were slightly cold, his thin lips were pursed into a line, and he said: “You are not a child anymore, you should consider the consequences before doing things, and don’t always make people worry. Since you follow me, I have to be responsible for you, otherwise Mr. Lu will blame me for not taking good care of you.”

Lin Ziran thought to himself, how dare his cheap father blame you? But he still said humbly: “What Xuan Ge taught is… b, but I really like him, I will know my limits, and nothing will happen again, don’t worry!”

Jiang Xuan squeezed the cigarette with a little force. Do you really like that person?

What kind of love is that?

Jiang Xuan looked at the boy’s new look and suddenly realized something. This was probably because he loved someone so much that he could change himself for another person.

Jiang Xuan was feeling a little annoyed. He looked at Lin Ziran intently and asked out of the blue: “Why did you suddenly think of changing your outfit recently?”

Lin Ziran touched his head and said with a smile: “Ah, because he likes me like this, so I changed into this outfit and dyed my hair back. I want to become the look he likes, maybe he will like me…”

Jiang Xuan looked into the boy’s eyes.

When he said these words, he was so serious and without hesitation that he could completely throw away everything he had insisted on before.

Just to get the likes of someone who doesn’t like him.

So humble.

Maybe this is really liking.

But this realization made Jiang Xuan very unhappy, because in the past, this child’s eyes always followed him, only cared about whether he was happy or not, and followed him like a puppy regardless of whether he responded or not… But now he didn’t follow him anymore, he gave all his enthusiasm to another person.

Jiang Xuan thought he wouldn’t mind, because he never took this person seriously. There were many people around him who tried to please him, and there was no more or less Lu Xiaodong.

But when one day this person really stopped caring about him, he realized that he actually cared about him.

This was something he had not expected.

Jiang Xuan looked at Lin Ziran with a sidelong glance, and said indifferently: “I think you looked better before.”

Lin Ziran was stunned.

No way, as a leading role, you don’t even have the most basic aesthetic sense?

Do you like that kind of eye-catching outfit? !

It’s so shocking!

………………

Ning Bai was sitting alone in the office. He put down the thick documents, walked to the French window and looked down, but he didn’t see the familiar green sports car.

At this time before, Lin Ziran was usually here, as if he had nothing else to do except hanging around him. No matter when he went to see him, he would be waiting there…

But he is not here today.

Xue Ze pushed the door open and walked in, coming behind Ning Bai, looking down and saying: “Hey, Xiao Lu didn’t come today?”

Ning Bai frowned slightly: “Xiao Lu?”

Xue Ze smiled and said: “Yes, I know him very well! This kid is so easy to fool, hahahaha. As long as I give him a little bit of your information, no matter if it’s true or false, he will do anything for me, hahaha.”

Ning Bai’s eyes suddenly became sharp and his voice became cold: “So you are confessing to me that you have been selling my personal information in private recently?”

Xue Ze: “…”

Ning Bai looked at him calmly and said: “Do you have anything else to tell me?”

Xue Ze looked up at the sky, then down at the ground, and then said with a bitter face: “I swear I never betrayed you. I just took advantage of you to let him bring me coffee a few times. Really only a few times! I definitely never ordered him around alone!”

Ning Bai looked at him for a few seconds and said in a cold voice: “The name Xiaolu is too intimate.”

Xue Ze swore to the heavens: “I have absolutely no improper thoughts about Lu Xiaodong! You know what I like is lovely women!”

Ning Bai finally retracted his gaze and returned to his desk.

Xue Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief, approached Ning Bai, and said with a playful smile: “I see that the boy likes you wholeheartedly. Since you are also interested in him, just accept him. Why keep him hanging like this? It hurts me to see you…”

Ning Bai paused and said coldly: “Who said I’m interested in him?”

Xue Ze said with a smile: “Why bother to be so stubborn? If you have no interest, would you let him come every day and let him sleep in your office?”

Ning Bai raised his eyes and looked at him.

Xue Ze felt a chill on his back, and he reached out and gently patted his mouth, smiling: “I was just talking nonsense, don’t take it to heart!”

Then he left in a hurry.

Ning Bai retracted his gaze, his eyes dimmed, and he tapped lightly on his phone… If you are not here, where did you go?

………………

Lin Ziran sat beside Jiang Xuan, absent-minded, wanting to leave but with a suitable excuse.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang and a text message came in.

When he clicked on it, Lin Ziran showed a toothache. In the middle of the night, Ning Bai asked him to buy him coffee… But then he thought, he would rather buy coffee for Ning Bai than stay here and breathe in the secondhand smoke, and this is just an excuse to run away!

Lin Ziran’s eyes lit up, and he said to Jiang Xuan: “Xuan Ge, I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”

Jiang Xuan noticed Lin Ziran’s expression and deliberately asked: “What’s the matter?”

Lin Ziran did not hide it. After all, Lu Xiaodong was a simple-minded child. This was in line with his character and the plot. He said directly: “I’m going to buy him coffee.”

Jiang Xuan frowned slightly: “Now?”

It’s already ten o’clock.

Lin Ziran nodded, not feeling anything wrong, and smiled: “Yes, I’m leaving. If I’m late, he’ll be unhappy again.”

Jiang Xuan was unhappy now.

It was rare for him to have someone call Lin Ziran over, but Lin Ziran was absent-minded the whole night. His mind was probably on someone else. That person called him and dismissed him at will, but he didn’t think it was wrong at all. Instead, he enjoyed it, just like when he followed him before…

Now someone else has taken away the privilege that originally belonged to him.

Jiang Xuan had to admit that he was jealous.

But he had no good reason to stop it.

Jiang Xuan was silent for a moment and said: “Okay.”

Lin Ziran got the nod and happily got up and left.

Jiang Xuan looked at Lin Ziran’s back, clasped his hands together, and a layer of gloom gradually appeared in his eyes. This person…

He didn’t want to let go easily.

………………

Lin Ziran went to buy coffee for Ning Bai and drove to Ning Bai’s company again. At this late hour, most people in the building had left, and only a few offices were still lit.

Lin Ziran complained about Ning Bai’s workaholic attitude while walking in the quiet corridor.

He was the only one here, and the surroundings were so quiet that he could even hear his own footsteps clearly. This atmosphere was actually a bit scary. Lin Ziran was afraid of ghosts, so he inevitably walked a little faster…

Just when he was about to reach Ning Bai’s office, he heard a creaking sound from the side, and the door of the public toilet suddenly opened…

Ahhhhhh, Lin Ziran’s face turned pale with fright. Who is in the toilet in the middle of the night?

Then he saw the door being pushed open, and Ning Bai walked out in neat clothes…

Lin Ziran: …

Ning Bai looked at Lin Ziran’s frightened eyes. He was not in a good mood at first, but at this moment, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but rise. He was so timid, and dared to speak without restraint in front of him all day long. What gave him the courage?

Lin Ziran calmed down and thought to himself that it was a good thing that he didn’t throw the coffee away. He smiled awkwardly and ran over: “Dear, the coffee you asked for is here!”

Ning Bai didn’t really need this cup of coffee, but…

He approached Lin Ziran and stared at his face. Just as he was about to take the coffee from his hand, he suddenly sniffed and frowned slightly.

The boy was lingering with a faint smell of tobacco. Even though it had dissipated a lot, one could still vaguely feel how strong it once was, like a mark left on him by another man.

Ning Bai’s eyes showed a hint of displeasure, his expression turned cold, and he turned around and said: “Send it to my office.”

Lin Ziran was startled. Ning Bai was clearly about to come over to get it, so why did his expression suddenly change? So moody?

He came to Ning Bai’s office nervously, like a child who didn’t know what he had done wrong, waiting to be scolded by his parents…

Huh, why does he have such a strange thought?

He must have been hallucinating because of this guy!

Lin Ziran didn’t want to pay attention to this moody guy. He just wanted to go back and rest early. He put down his coffee and prepared to leave, pretending that he didn’t see Ning Bai’s unhappy look…

Ning Bai: “Stop.”

Lin Ziran struggled internally for a while, but finally turned around, looked at him innocently and said: “Dear, is there anything else?”

Ning Bai raised his eyes calmly: “Where did you go tonight?”

Ning Bai never inquired about his whereabouts before. Lin Ziran was a little surprised and said casually: “I got together with some friends.”

“What friend?” Ning Bai asked.

Lin Ziran was getting impatient. Why was he asking so much detail? He rolled his eyes and said with a lecherous look: “Why are you suddenly concerned about my friend? Why don’t you come with me next time? I can introduce you to my friend. Hehehe…”

They were not in a relationship, and with Ning Bai’s personality, he would never want to get to know his friends. Lin Ziran was sure that this would make Ning Bai unhappy.

Ning Bai frowned. What decent friends could Lu Xiaodong have? They were nothing but bad friends.

His voice was a little cold, and he said: “Don’t meet them in the future.”

Although he really didn’t like that occasion, Ning Bai’s words were obviously too much.

Lin Ziran snorted: “Aren’t you meddling too much?”

Ning Bai’s amber eyes were calm, but they made people feel a little nervous. He said calmly: “If you don’t want to listen to me, you don’t have to come in the future, but since you are here, you have to listen to me. The decision is in your hands.”

Lin Ziran: You are cruel.

It was easy to not go see those friends, but Jiang Xuan had summoned him and he had to go. After all, he was still Jiang Xuan’s lackey. But then again, whether he went to see someone… Ning Bai would not know!

Lin Ziran smiled and said perfunctorily: “Okay, if you don’t like it, I won’t go. Honey, I can do anything for you!”

Ning Bai lowered his eyes and looked at him steadily, saying: “Really? Then you’d better do what you say.”

………………

Lin Ziran left Ning Bai carelessly. Although he agreed, he didn’t take it to heart at all.

He doesn’t really like Ning Bai, so he doesn’t have any psychological burden at all~

Nevertheless the plot is more important.

As long as he could get through this period, and Jiang Xuan didn’t take him seriously, he definitely wouldn’t come to him often. Lin Ziran quickly forgot about that little episode.

Two more days passed.

This morning, Lin Ziran bought coffee for Ning Bai as usual and sent it over. As soon as he left, he unexpectedly received a call from Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan said in a low voice: “Do you have time? Let’s get together.”

Lin Ziran paused and said: “Okay! I’ll come now.”

He didn’t expect Jiang Xuan to call him personally, so he had to go… But it was only 9:30 now, so he could go for a while, and then find a chance to slip away. This way, he wouldn’t be discovered by Ning Bai, and wouldn’t cause Jiang Xuan’s dissatisfaction!

That’s right!

Lin Ziran came to the place Jiang Xuan mentioned. It was a hot spring club, different from the place where they had gathered before. This was his first time here…

The clubhouse was very large and lush, with villas looming among the trees. There was a large open-air hot spring in the middle, and Jiang Xuan was waiting for him there.

Lin Ziran looked around and only saw Jiang Xuan. He was very surprised and said hesitantly: “Xuan Ge, is it just us?”

Isn’t it usually a large group of people?

Jiang Xuan smiled slightly: “Yes.”

Lin Ziran: “…” Oh no, how am I going to get away later!

Jiang Xuan looked at the boy’s blank eyes, a smile appeared on his lips, and he raised his eyebrows and said: “Go change your clothes.”

Of course one has to change clothes when they take a hot spring bath. Lin Ziran turned around in a daze and was worried all the way. He thought it was another large gathering of people, but who knew it was just him and Jiang Xuan!

Miscalculated!

Soon Lin Ziran changed into a pair of shorts and came over. Jiang Xuan was dressed in the same way, revealing his muscular upper body and eight-pack abs, exuding the charm and hormones of a mature man…

Lin Ziran looked down at his ribs, looking depressed. Lu Xiaodong really didn’t exercise. No wonder the other was the protagonist and he was cannon fodder. The asset was different. As for other special parts that could not be seen, it was better not to compare them!

So as not to be more sad!

Lin Ziran slid into the pool sadly. He deliberately kept a certain distance from Jiang Xuan, absentmindedly thinking about how to leave later.

Jiang Xuan leaned on the edge of the pool with his hands, looking lazy, and looked down at the boy beside him. He sat carefully one meter away from him. In the mist, his soft black hair fell wetly on his forehead, his eyelashes were slender and trembling, and he seemed to be absent-minded…

What’s on your mind?

Jiang Xuan’s Adam’s apple rolled, and he suddenly stood up, making a splashing sound.

Lin Ziran suddenly woke up, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Xuan walking towards him.

The man came directly to him and sat down, his arm gently brushing his shoulder, his sharp and handsome face was wearing a wanton smile, his black eyes were deep and sharp, and water drops flowed down his chest, wild and sexy.

Lin Ziran suddenly became extremely nervous and didn’t dare to move at all!

Jiang Xuan had a smile in his eyes. He looked at Lin Ziran with a sidelong glance and said in a low and hoarse voice, as if he was chatting casually: “How is the person you like doing recently?”

Lin Ziran swallowed his saliva and said: “Still, still chasing…”

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes, looked lazy, and said meaningfully: “If he really doesn’t like you, there’s no need to force it. You can always meet someone better. What do you think?”

Lin Ziran was dejected: “But I only like him…”

I don’t want to force it either, but this is a mission…

Jiang Xuan looked at the boy’s depressed look. Do you like him so much? His patience was worn away bit by bit. He wanted to kill this guy directly…

But his final sanity prevented him from doing so.

He looked at Lin Ziran deeply and said slowly: “Really? You’ve only met him a few times, how much do you like him?”

Lin Ziran met Jiang Xuan’s gaze, and he felt as if he was being held by something. He suddenly felt a little scared, and stood up and said: “I, I’m going to the bathroom…”

He hurriedly climbed out of the pool, but when he turned around, he saw Ning Bai and Xue Ze standing not far away, looking at him.

Suddenly he was confused.

What’s going on?

He was caught the first time he came out. Is he really that unlucky? !

【Lin Ziran is so tired: I was just soaking in the hot spring with my DaGe, why do I feel like I was caught cheating…】

【System:……】

Ning Bai looked at him indifferently, with no warmth in his amber pupils and his thin lips slightly pursed.

He had seen Jiang Xuan’s actions just now. The man’s intentions were obvious to him, but Lu Xiaodong had never been very tactful, so he couldn’t see it at all. He was as clueless as a prey…

Was Lu Xiaodong also with Jiang Xuan that night?

Ning Bai’s eyes were slightly cold.

Xue Ze felt the low pressure from Ning Bai and didn’t dare to speak at all. It was all his fault for asking Ning Bai out today. It was such a coincidence that he ran into Lu Xiaodong and Jiang Xuan’s ambiguous scene…

Lin Ziran was silent because he was too embarrassed. He was caught less than three days after he promised Ning Bai. He knew Ning Bai was angry when he saw his expression.

No, no, no…

At this time, he needs to save it quickly!

Lin Ziran took a deep breath, put on a smile and walked over, saying flatteringly: “Dear, why are you here too?”

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous look.

He met Ning Bai not long ago because of the cooperation in the company, but he didn’t expect that Ning Bai was the one Lu Xiaodong liked…

This was the first time he saw Lu Xiaodong trying to please someone like this, except for himself.

It’s really unpleasant…

Lin Ziran was still planning to continue talking nonsense with Ning Bai, trying to get away with it, when suddenly a strong arm grabbed his waist from behind, pulling him back, and his back immediately crashed into the man’s arms.

“Isn’t this Mr. Ning?” Jiang Xuan easily hugged Lin Ziran with one hand, raised his eyebrows, looked sharp, and chuckled: “Are you the one Xiaodong likes? Sorry, I will discipline my people in the future and won’t let him cause you trouble again.”
