Together through thick and thin

chap. 72

"Welcome back! How was your first day at work?"

"That's it, it's about the same as in the school research room... By the way, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, eat~"

"That's good. It was supposed to be a welcome banquet on the weekend, but the head of the off-duty office directly dragged people to the dinner party."

"Hey, it's okay, didn't you send me a WeChat message~ It's hard to be a newcomer, you have to be careful."

"Understood, old lady."

"Speaking of which, you can call your uncle and aunt later."

"Ah, yes."

"Tired? Do you want to take a shower first?"

"Well... that's fine too."

chap. 73

"Xiaolu, please clean the instruments here."

"Ok."

"By the way, this is the catalog of instruments that I said I would deliver, but it hasn't been implemented yet. Go to the office and ask what's going on."

"it is good."

"And these..."

……

"call……"

"Yo, Xiaolu, are you okay?"

"Hi Brother Cao. I'm fine."

"Doing chores is hard work, isn't it?"

"Fortunately, these things have been done before."

"The head of the office is very ruthless when he fucks people, especially newcomers. But the harder you fuck, the more you appreciate you. The young man has a future, work hard."

"thanks, I will."

"Haha, by the way, can you give me a meal? Pick a free time."

"noon?"

"……also."

chap. 74

"Yo~ Xiao Liao~ What's the matter? You look like you want to be dissatisfied."

"...Sister Tang, I am not satisfied with my desires..."

"Haha, well, it's not that you are dissatisfied with your desires, it's that you look like a resentful woman in a boudoir."

"..."

"What's the matter? Xiaolu is too busy at work and doesn't have time to talk to you?"

"Newcomers are busy with work, that's how I came here at the beginning."

"Since you understand, why are you depressed?"

"...Recently, a colleague got very close to Ah Yuan..."

"...Have you asked the person involved?"

"He said that ordinary colleagues are just seniors taking care of juniors."

"You don't believe him?"

"I believe it. It's just... I still feel uncomfortable."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you kid to be so jealous."

"I know that A Yuan is not interested in him, but I'm not sure if the other party treats A Yuan as clear as clear water."

"Well...then you are worried that Xiaolu will change his mind?"

"No, Ah Yuan won't."

"Then it's over. Since your love is stronger than gold, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"...That's right, I was thinking too much."

"Hey, you are still a young man. But if you are really uneasy, I suggest you talk to me. If you have something to say, explain it clearly, so that there will be no misunderstanding and trouble in the future."

"Well, thank you Miss Tang."

chap. 75

"You're back. Have you eaten?"

"...No. You are so early today..."

"The work is over and there is no need to work overtime. Do you want to help or wait for dinner?"

"...I'm here to help!"

"Then pick the beans over there."

"Okay~ hehe, it's been a long time since I've tried two people cooking together."

"Hmm... get me some salt."

"Oh, here."

"Thanks. Some water."

"Come."

"...hook a debt..."

"Take it, cash it."

"...where are the beans?"

"It's over~"

"Well... that's all right, you go out and stay."

"Kiss first."

"...Hey...um...you...the pot is still hot!"

"Hey hey, it's okay~ I'll protect you."

"What if you are injured! Get out of here quickly, don't make trouble here!"

"Hey hey hey, obey~"

chap. 76

"Ah Yuan, do you want some water?"

"Oh, thanks."

"Why are you staring at me? Is there something wrong?"

"Ah Hua, let's chat. It's been a long time since we had a good chat."

"...Why do I always feel that something is wrong..."

"I'm not good at talking twists and turns, so I just go straight to the point. Do you think I've left you out recently?"

"Pfft—cough cough cough! You are really straight-forward... No, newcomers are busy, I know that. That's how I came here too, have you forgotten?"

"Then what's the matter with you recently?"

"……I……"

"Don't say you're fine, anyone with a discerning eye can see that you're not feeling well."

"...It's so obvious... Could it be that you came back so early today because you..."

"Don't get off topic."

"Uh...cough. There must be some words of loneliness, but I know it can't be helped, and I can understand. If it's wrong... probably, it's because...uh...some, uneasy, right..."

"disturbed?"

"Well... You see, there has been a big change from school to society. The identity has changed, the horizon has been broadened, the degree of freedom has increased, and the concept, perhaps, has also changed."

"...You tell me the key points."

"...Recently, didn't you get very close to a colleague..."

"...You mean, Brother Cao?"

"……Um."

"So, are you afraid of me and change your mind?"

"No no no no! I don't!"

"I can only sum up the answer to your previous paragraph."

"Ah... can you stop using the method of analyzing test questions... I know you are not so easy to change your mind! I believe you! But, but... After all, he is your senior, and he is richer than us Right, I'm afraid our relationship will affect your career..."

"...Your words are so sloppy that I don't know where to start."

"Hey...QAQ"

"First of all, Brother Cao is just an ordinary working class, not some rich second-generation military second-generation official second-generation. He has been working for many years. It is natural that he has more savings and contacts than us. Of course, this is not the point. The point is, even if Brother Cao is a person who holds both money and power, what does it have to do with us?"

"...I always feel that he is chasing you."

"……Have it?"

"I look for you for dinner from time to time, and I take care of you at work, and so on... You told me these things, and there must be more things I didn't say."

"...well, it looks like I messed up too."

"Ok?"

"The main purpose of telling you that is to let you not worry too much about me. I didn't expect it to be counterproductive."

"..."

"Brother Cao is not the only one who takes care of me at work. Although he does provide more guidance, it is because he is my direct brother. The rules in my unit seem to be that old people lead new ones one by one. I was assigned to Brother Cao is under his command."

"Uh……"

"Taking a step back, even if Brother Cao is really chasing me, what does that have to do with us? To put it bluntly, you still don't believe me."

"I……"

"Although I didn't reach out at the beginning, it doesn't mean that I don't value you or this relationship. I said I wouldn't let go. So, do you still feel uneasy..."

"Ayuan..."

"How can I make you trust me?"

"...A Yuan, I... I'm sorry..."

"...It's not your problem...well...not exactly. By the way, I didn't see such a big reaction when I was in college or graduate school before?"

"...Uh, I don't know..."

"Brother Cao's appearance made you feel unconfident?"

"Well……"

"why?"

"...Probably, probably, because, he, he is more mature and stable..."

"...Alas. Liao Chunhua."

"?"

"What I, Lu Zhiyuan, like is you, your entire individuality, not a certain characteristic. Even if you are a collection of several characteristics, but the collection has been formed, no matter how many more or less traits, this collection still exists. That is, it is still the person I like.”

"...What kind of messed-up metaphor are you talking about..."

"Is there? I think it's very vivid."

"...Pfft, um, I was thinking too much, sorry. Actually, I didn't doubt you."

"I can't completely eradicate your anxiety, and I can only take it step by step. However, in the future, once you feel uneasy, I hope you can tell me that I don't want some uncertain factors to grow into cracks."

"it is good."

"Also, I hope you can tell me how to eliminate your anxiety."

"……it is good."

"So now, what do you want me to do?"

"...Let's go back to the room?"

"it is good."

chap. 77

"Hey~ This week is finally over~ Xiaolu, are you free tomorrow Saturday?"

"how?"

"Want to hang out together?"

"...Thank you for your kindness. I plan to spend the weekend with my lover."

"...do you have a girlfriend?"

"I have a partner."

"Ah, what a pity."

"What a pity?"

"I wanted to chase you."

"……Feel sorry."

"Haha, it's okay~ I have regrets but I'm not sad. Fortunately, it was cut off early."

"With Brother Cao's conditions, it's not difficult to find someone."

"It's hard to say, isn't this hitting a wall with you?"

"Next time you should find out who is single first."

"Thanks for the reminder, I will pay attention."

"Then I'll go back first, see you next week."

"Well, see you next week~"

chap. 78

【Ah Hua, are you home yet? 】

【No, work overtime today QAQ】

【Around what time? 】

chap. 79

"It seems that he has been resurrected with full blood. Sure enough, Xiaolu has a way."

"...Is it that obvious?!"

"Should I give you a mirror so that you can see how disgusting your smile is now?"

"Uh……"

"Hey~ Xiaolu is indeed a high-quality boyfriend, I'm envious."

"Hey hey hey, hurry up and act too~"

"...It's one thing to dream, it's another thing to act, and it's another thing to really become a partner after the action."

"But if you don't start, you will never know whether it will be good or bad. Aren't you afraid that you will regret it?"

"...I'll think about it again."

"If you hesitate again, be careful to be preempted by others."

"...You're the one who talks too much!"

"Haha."

chap. 80

"Ah, choo—"

"...made you crazy in the bathroom yesterday."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"Deserving it."

"woo woo woo woo……"

"Drink this, to drive away the cold."

"...This ginger tea is too strong."

"Do you think it's Sanfu now? It's almost the end of the year, and you won't die if you drink it."

"Ugh..."

"Fortunately, you don't have to go to work today. You should sleep more."

"Well... Ah Yuan, stay with me. Oh, if you don't accompany me, you don't need to hit someone."

"Who will take care of you if I sleep with you. Don't babble and wrap up the quilt and go to sleep!"

"Woo... Got it. You were the one who was pushed to the ground yesterday, why are you fine..."

"Physical problems. It's time for you to exercise. You'll have a stomach after sitting in the office all day."

"... Tomorrow I will go to open a fitness card."

"It's okay, the time to get off work at night is uncertain, and I don't think I can spare time to exercise.... What's wrong?"

"Do you dislike me? QQ"

"Fortunately, the little belly is soft and comfortable to the touch."

"..."

"But I still need to exercise. I don't want to guard a sick Xi Shi. If you feel uncomfortable, I will also feel uncomfortable."

"..."

"And haven't you noticed that your stamina has gotten worse recently?"

"When I get my abs back I'll fuck until you cry and beg for mercy!"

"Hahaha—I'm looking forward to it."

chap. 81

"Ayuan~Are you free tomorrow Saturday? Let's go to the gym~"

"……work overtime……"

"...You guys have been working really hard lately."

"No way, the project is rushed."

"Then let me know if you can't get off work at 6 o'clock, and I'll bring you food~"

"Okay. Your enthusiasm for fitness is very high recently."

"Well, to make you cry and beg for mercy!"

"Hey. Just don't get hurt."

"I know~ Besides, the people there are very nice and will guide you enthusiastically."

"Sounds good. But..."

"Ok?"

"You take it easy for me, don't get too flamboyant."

"...Do you still go to work at 9 o'clock tomorrow?"

"correct."

"Then let's go to bed early tonight."

"..."

"Yo, Xiao Liao, are you here again?"

"Brother Li, you are quite early today."

"Haha, as the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm."

"??? Are you waiting for someone?"

"Well...sometimes I think you are deadly dull, and sometimes I think you are very sharp."

"what……"

"Hey, Lao Li, Xiao Hua? You guys are really early today."

"Old Yang, you are here."

"Brother Yang, hello."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of wind is blowing today? I didn't see anyone before 3 o'clock. Why are they here today? Is my watch correct? Or did I read it wrong and now it's not 1 o'clock but 3 o'clock?"

"Old Fang~"

"Old Fang..."

"Brother Fang."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm flattered by this welcome lineup."

"Hehe. By the way, Fang, I saw a nice real estate near my house yesterday. Are you interested?"

"Oh oh oh? Come on, come on, tell me quickly."

"...So it turns out Brother Li..."

"Ha, Xiaohua, don't worry about them, let's play our own."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I have to deliver food to someone~"

"……girlfriend?"

"My love~"

"I didn't expect you, a young man, to have the master at such a young age. You are so quick."

"Haha~ God has mercy on me, I just happened to meet the right one."

"...Seeing your happy smirk makes me really want to hit you."

"Hehe~"

chap. 83

"Ah Yuan."

"Good~"

"...Is it so formal?"

"Of course you want to buy a wedding ring, or do you want an engagement ring first?"

"...>///<"

"Don't just blush, go in."

"Eh……"

……

"How about this one?"

"Well, it's beautiful."

"This is a new addition to our store. It is simple and elegant, and very popular~ There are also matching rings for women..."

"No, I need two men's models."

"...Ah! Okay!"

"By the way, can I engrave characters inside the ring body?"

"Of course! But there is an extra charge..."

"no problem."

"Okay~ Then please leave the words to be engraved~"

"...Don't be so troublesome..."

"No~"

"Well...forget it, as long as you like it."

"Hey~ Originally, I was thinking of buying a pair casually, but since you brought me here, I can't be perfunctory~Here, when can I get it?"

"It will be ready in a week~ please collect the receipt."

"OK, thanks."

"Thank you for your patronage, I wish you both happiness~"

"Haha, thank you~"

"... Xiao Liao, is that... a wedding ring in your hand?"

"Yes~"

"...Parents, are you done?"

"Are you mentally prepared?"

"Well. Anyway, no matter what, I won't let go."

"……so good."

"You have to work harder, Miss Tang."

"... Hey, if I have half your mobility... forget it, work hard!"

"..."

chap. 86

"Yo, Xiaolu, is that a wedding ring?"

"Correct."

"...Is there a wedding banquet?"

"No....Probably won't do it either."

"Have you obtained the certificate?"

"I can't get it in China."

"Isn't there still a foreign country?"

"Don't bother, it's just a piece of paper, and we don't plan to immigrate."

"...You guys are so chic. What about your parents? They agree?"

"No, we'll have a showdown at the end of the year."

"...Aren't you afraid of being kicked out?"

"Well...probably not. It's a big deal to go back after being kicked out."

"...So you have this kind of character!"

"It's best for them to admit it, and it doesn't matter if they fight for a long time."

"...It's good to be enlightened. I wish you success."

"Thank you, Brother Cao."
