marvelous contract
Chapter 16
Wei Chao worked desperately to counteract Gu Shaofan's aggression syndrome. He lived in a bit of a muddle for several days. Every night when he returned to the door of the house, he would have irregular heartbeat and sweaty hands when he opened the door. In the dark, the whole person will breathe a sigh of relief, and then be enveloped in a depressive atmosphere, unable to escape throughout the day.
Wu Kai often invites Wei Chao to the bar for a drink in the name of work recently. Originally, Wei Chao lacked interest in such entertainment activities. Distracting his attention, he no longer always thinks about the appointment with Gu Shaofan, so he will occasionally go to the appointment.
One day, Jiamin came in with a leaflet during her lunch break and strongly recommended it: "Single owners and tenants of Xingang Building have a large-scale networking event. This building hides many elites. My spring may be coming soon."
"It's so old-fashioned. But go if you want, I don't express my opinion." Wei Chao replied casually, but his eyes did not leave the file record.
"I was thinking, is it better for you to go with me? Because your image is clearly the ideal object tailored for those unmarried women, I will steal the spotlight if I attack with you, so you should help me hey!"
Originally, Jia Min had no hope for her lobbying, but Wei Chao, who has always been rigid, replied casually: "Really, what time?"
Jia Min excitedly reported loudly: "Tomorrow night at eight o'clock!"
"Well, if there is no temporary arrangement——"
"You're so funny, Brother Chao!" Jiamin patted his chest with a smile on his face and then hid, closing the door and opening it again as if afraid of his repentance, adding, "Tomorrow, I will continue to maintain your recent dressing style. By the way, your watch is really pretty!"
After Jiamin closed the door again, Wei Chao was the only one left in the huge office. He put down the folder in his hand with a sigh, and looked down at his watch.
In the past, Wei Chao didn't have the habit of wearing a watch. He just watched Gu Shaofan wear it for a few days, and then put it on the shelf of the wardrobe. Down.
The next night, Wei Chao and Jia Min appeared at the fraternity meeting as scheduled. It was the auditorium on the top floor of Xingang, and it was now decorated as a gorgeous dance scene.
Jiamin "abandoned" him as soon as he entered the table, and was invited to dance by a man in a suit.Wei Chao took out a set of linen shirts from the closet that day, paired them with thin corduroy pants and dark coffee loafers.He thought that if it was Gu Shaofan, he would probably take a Maserati sports car.
In the middle, some bold girls also came up to hand Wei Chao their business cards. Wei Chao was not good at talking to women, so he had to deal with it shyly. He was quite pleasing, but because of his inaction and inactivity, other energetic men took over. got a head start.
Originally, he came here as a foil, and he was expected to be bored. He couldn't judge whether he was compatible with someone from the first time he met. , leading directly to stagnation of action.
Just when a rich girl was chasing him with words, a phone call saved the missed conversation.
"Mr. Wei Chao, I am Mary Feng of Heep Hong Society. We have received the check you sent last week. On behalf of the sick children, I would like to thank you for your strong and selfless support to Heep Hong Society."
Wei Chao was taken aback: "Sorry, I haven't donated money recently."
"I know that you entrusted a gentleman to donate anonymously, but when we promised not to disclose the name of the donor, he recorded your name and address, and we will send you the relevant receipt."
Wei Chao inquired about the amount of the donation hesitantly, and it was really a generous donation.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Chao already knew who did these things, and no one would give him Wei Chao's money and efforts except him.
With a bang, a kind and intense emotion welled up in his chest.
Knowing that the other party is being influenced by me and doing some meaningful public welfare deeds, this is how many times better than dressing up for him and transforming his appearance without knowing sincerity.
Gu Shaofan never mentioned this matter, and Wei Chao knew that he wanted to help some people from the bottom of his heart, which was different from helping him back then.
This has always been a knot in Wei Chao's heart, mixed with utilitarian use of the relationship, distorted and unhappy from the very beginning.
In the past, Wei Chao always acted indifferent - he didn't care whether the intersection with Gu Shaofan was reasonable or not, he didn't want to pay attention to how much the evolution of the real relationship between the two parties had brought to his life, and he didn't want to face the increasingly vague attraction and relationship. Fight against the panic behind it.
But for some reason, just today, at this moment, Wei Chao's heart suddenly cleared up.He leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows with a warm smile on his lips.
This was the first time that he actively and willingly dialed Gu Shaofan's mobile phone number. Of course, when the other party received the call, he was driving late at Pearl, and a table of directors came to check the next season's program arrangement.
Shao Fan was also surprised when he saw the caller ID, he raised his hand to interrupt the meeting process, turned around and went to the corridor to answer.
"What's the matter?" Shao Fan knew very well that Wei Chao would never think of looking for him unless there was an urgent matter.
"I just want to ask, if I want to invite you to dinner, would you rather go to Temple Street to try the food stalls, or go to Steintang Street to pretend to order fancy Western food. The latter seems to be your strong point."
Shaofan had never laughed from the bottom of his heart like this before, and he completely let go of his nervousness: "It's better to have claypot rice, beef offal, and cuttlefish balls. I'm actually not as picky as you think."
"I just think that besides me, who else can bear to survive under the eyes of a perfectionist like you."
"Are you emphasizing uniqueness to me?"
Shao Fan suddenly understood what the rumored flirting meant. If it wasn't for the heated discussion in the venue, he almost had the urge to leave the venue directly to find Wei Chao.
However, Wei Chao has always been relatively slow, after learning that he was being surrounded by Gu Shaofan again, he simply ended the call first: "Stop talking, I'm at the dance."
"The music is so loud, are you alone?" Never gossip like this, but still blurted out jealously.
"At a blind date."
Wei Chao told the truth, and even Shao Fan wasn't sure if his words were a joke or not.
"Anyone interested?"
"How many left a phone call, I don't know yet."
"I haven't seen you in a few days, you've turned bad." Shao Fan shook his head while making an appointment, "I'm going to open all night tonight, and I'll come to see you tomorrow evening."
This phone call can be described as warming hands and heart, and Shao Fan smiled contentedly in the corridor.
At this time, the secretary Judy came out and gestured for him to enter the venue quickly to coordinate, but when she saw Xiuyi's gentle expression, she couldn't help being stunned.
If it was a private call, Xiu Yi would never answer it in the middle of the meeting, but now that the evidence is solid, no matter how stupid you are, you can see that the person on the other end of the phone has a detached status.
Judy is well aware that the devil's boss doesn't take the friendly route easily, but the situation has been ups and downs recently. It has been rumored in the company that Xiu Yi is dating a certain mysterious big-name star, and has even secretly cohabited with him. Even the fiancée arranged by the family is ready Overthrow, really have the courage to sink the boat.
Although it's just a rumor, but now that Xiu Yi is uncharacteristically cold, sometimes nervous and irritable, sometimes harmonious and friendly, one can imagine how credible the rumor is.
Wei Chao suffered from insomnia due to excitement that night, and took a nap for an hour at noon the next day before recovering.He didn't know how he reacted like this after talking to Gu Shaofan.
"Mr. Ni is coming this afternoon. I made an appointment for you at three o'clock. It should be a big deal! The business has been booming recently. Didn't our highly skilled partner put a large advertisement in Minsheng Daily?" Huh?" Jia Min was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
Today, Wei Chao took a small sip of coffee and spit it out: "It's so hot!"
Jiamin looked at Wei Chao's embarrassed look with amused expression: "Didn't you see the heat above? I have no obligation to cool you down and bring it in." She mentioned the oolong last night, "I just did a few dances, Just slip away, tell me anyway."
"Aren't you having fun? I don't want to spoil your fun."
"Yesterday's man is not bad. You can date him. I'm already old, so I can't be too picky, right? Ah, right! You can't tell me that you're dating a girl from yesterday, right?" Jiamin stared at him with piercing eyes, "Don't lie to me, I can tell! You are going on a date tonight, aren't you?"
Wei Chao smiled, got up and walked out: "Stop gossiping, I'm going out to do some errands."
Jia Min raised her voice behind him: "You have a ghost. One, sure, yes, ghost!"
In the evening, Shaofan found that he couldn't get away to have dinner with Wei Chao, so he had to postpone the dinner. Wei Chao didn't mind, but said that he would wait for him at the Jiashiqi bar.
Shao Fan was a little curious: "You actually asked me to meet in a bar, didn't you always dislike alcohol?"
"You'll know when you come."
Jiashiqi Bar is a newly opened salon-style personalized bar in Central.But Jiashiqi only holds special themed receptions on weekends. At this time, all the wine girls will come out, including Yang Lebao's younger sister, Le Ling.
In fact, he had never met the real Le Ling, because it was inconvenient for him to reveal his identity at the time, so he hired a police psychologist to help Le Ling with psychological counseling, and arranged a new job for her.
Now knowing that Yang Leling has returned to the place where she once had nightmare memories, although this bar is not that bar, but no matter how artistic the form is, Wei Chao is still afraid that she will inevitably have a shadow of misfortune left in her heart, causing bad psychological reflexes, so today Came here to check it out.
If she wants to invite her to work as a front office receptionist in the firm, a relatively simpler and lighter environment will help her.
Wei Chao successfully found the client. Le Ling was very surprised when she saw this handsome man. After Wei Chao explained his intentions, Le Ling fell into a long silence. Finally, she said she wanted to sell beer and turned away.
Wei Chao didn't want to force her, so he just sat on the high chair and waited.At this time, Gu Shaofan entered the arena, he glanced around, and immediately found Wei Chao sitting in the corner of the bar.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and his facial contours seem to be thinner, but also more sexy.It turns out that missing can give the other party extra points, Shao Fan's heart warmed up, and he stepped forward.
"You really look good." Standing behind Wei Chao, Shao Fan leaned close to his ear and said, "I can order brandy now."
Wei Chao glanced to the side, as if he was not used to flirting with Shao Fan in public.
But when he really looked directly at Gu Shaofan, his tone slowed down unconsciously: "I ordered it for you, but I didn't even take a sip."
Shaofan is wearing a beige trench coat today, with a retro T-shirt and Gucci leather pants. Wei Chao saw him wearing earrings and exaggerated wrist accessories for the first time. It has a bit of excessive visual impact, probably because he was dressed too much at home before. Living at home has suddenly highlighted a fashion-forward personality. Wei Chao is willing to admit that a person who dares to dress can also be called a professional.
"Tomorrow is a holiday, can you go to the sculpture exhibition with me in the afternoon?" Shao Fan felt distressed when he saw his quiet side face, "It seems that he is reluctant, there is still something to do?"
In the past, even small talk was rare, let alone Wei Chao took the initiative to talk to him about work.
"Well, I'm going to Causeway Bay. Recently, there has been a lot of movement in the community. It seems to be back to the 90s. There are some things that I want to investigate by myself."
When it came to the underworld, Shao Fan felt something was wrong: "I don't want you to do dangerous things again, understand?"
"Leave me alone now..."
Wei Chao smiled lightly, as if he didn't take his words to heart at all, so Shao Fan had no choice but to lower his head and sip his wine.
Wei Chao then raised his hand and ordered a glass of juice drink: "I know it's embarrassing to drink this here, but there are some things where you have to take risks to have a chance of winning. You taught me."
"Are you mocking me?"
Wei Chao was puzzled by Shao Fan's suspicion, so he shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, which made Shao Fan feel powerless as if hitting cotton with force was futile.
At this time, Wei Chao, because Gu Shaofan was sitting next to him, couldn't explain why, and felt a certain kind of special stability.
This is a comfort that has never been experienced for many years, peaceful and lively, overturning the loneliness endured alone, and enjoying the luxury of self-centeredness.
Thinking of this, his eyes have become different. When he looked at Gu Shaofan, Shaofan's black eyes seemed to be suddenly lit, burning fiercely.
At this moment, the original soft and romantic jazz background music was replaced by a burst of loud stage songs, which also awakened some suspected couples who were looking at each other in time.
Shao Fan pulled Wei Chao up and switched to a row of sofa seats with high backs, half-box style, but he could see the stage performance clearly.
At this time, the lights dimmed, and then the whole stage fell silent. When the show music came out, Shao Fan looked up and saw Su Hui.It turned out that she was signed as an endorsement by a certain jewelry company, and the jewelry company booked a presentation here, and Ms. Su became the opening guest.
Shao Fan raised his hand and asked the waiter to order the largest bouquet for the stage. Half an hour later, the waiter sent a note and invited them to the backstage.
When Shao Fan explained his relationship with Su Hui and Xue Zhining to Wei Chao all the way, Wei Chao said that he would just wait outside, he was not good at dealing with strangers, so he stopped at the entrance of the corridor .
Shao Fan walked alone to the special guest dressing room backstage, but was stopped by Xue Zhining at the corner.
Shaofan looked at him and said, "You really are Xiaohui's follower."
"Congratulations, my friend will win the show, I'm very loyal!" Zhi Ning stuck out half of his head, looked towards the end of the corridor, his eyes flickered, he was really a little surprised.
"It turns out that he is the mysterious Mr. X. Even if you are not picky, you don't have to choose such a tough and cheap steak." Zhi Ning began to dig up old scores, "Did you forget that someone sent someone to follow you, And leave you the phone number of the charity as a souvenir?"
Although Shao Fan did not expect Wei Chao to be exposed in front of Xue Zhining so early, he also felt that there was no need to explain: "I don't need you to talk about the matter with him."
"OK, I'll keep my mouth shut. But you'd better be mentally prepared. What is the magic weapon for this handsome guy to decide you? You know it yourself. Although I don't know him at all, I know that he and those tricks under the lights outside Beautiful men are by no means the same kind, you have to see him completely, he may not be willing to open up to you.”
When Zhi Ning said these words to Shao Fan, Shao Fan didn't refute. Even though Zhi Ning didn't care about Wei Chao's opinion, some facts still hurt him.
Because Shaofan knew that just being an outsider was enough to see through his situation.
"I don't care who he is, he's here with me now."
"This person's origin is unknown, you don't know his background, what if he uses you?"
"I've joined his firm, and now I'm with him, can you say a few words less?"
Zhi Ning looked defeated by him: "Xiu Yi, you're hopeless this time, I've never seen you protect others like this, and do something that has no return on investment."
"I just want to tell you that he deserves it."
At this time, Su Hui opened the door and walked out: "Hey, what are you two big men doing muttering at my door! Xiuyi, I didn't expect you to come to join me. Zhining told you, right?" .”
Shao Fan didn't want to say it was just a coincidence, so he just went along with the flow and congratulated: "Uh, the show was a success."
Su Hui hugged him and said coquettishly: "You have been missing for a long time, and I have never seen you. I miss your first-class source of goods so much."
Zhi Ning laughed: "Today, I finally spoke the truth." Then he didn't know whether it was on purpose or what, he said loudly in Wei Chao's direction, "Xiu Yi also brought friends here."
Shao Fan sensitively turned his head to look in the direction of Wei Chao, who had already nodded in their direction.
Several people looked at each other, but it was Su Hui who responded first: "Hey, he looks familiar. Is he an artist brought by Xiu Yi? He's so handsome."
Zhi Ning pointed out, "He is Xiu Yi's good friend."
Su Hui thought he was joking: "Who are you lying to! Do I not know Xiu Yi's friends?"
She turned around and asked the person excitedly, "Xiu Yi, is he the new model signed by Pearl? Such high quality, isn't it some hidden secret weapon?!"
Shao Fan replied gloomily, "He's not from Mingzhu."
"Isn't it? That would be the best."
"Tsk, so he is still Xiaohui's cup of tea." Zhi Ning said sourly.
Although Ms. Su can't remember ever having a relationship with Wei Chao, it is obvious that her taste in men of different professions has not changed at all.
"Don't be sour!" Su Hui slapped Zhi Ning on the chest, but her eyes were focused on Wei Chao, and the next second she strode over and notified behind her without looking back, "Xiu Yi , I want to know him."
This was the second time that she had shown great affection for Wei Chao. Miss Su rarely showed her affections to the opposite sex in private, but now she suddenly became bold for some reason, and Zhi Ning, who was watching, was dumbfounded.
"Is this man the reincarnation of Concubine Xiang, so popular—ah!" The last cry was because Shao Fan gave him an elbow in the stomach, and he bent over and cried out in pain.
At the other end, Su Hui has already introduced herself: "Hi, I'm Su Hui, please call me Xiaohui."
Wei Chao seemed a little embarrassed when he approached the super beauty, but luckily Shao Fan stepped forward to help him out in time: "Let me introduce..."
But afterwards, Su Hui didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and kept talking with Wei Chao. Although Wei Chao avoided talking about his own affairs, his spirit had already relaxed.
"Could Xiaohui also be interested in him?" Zhi Ning fanned the flames in Shaofan's ear, "You plan to let Xiaohui know that you and him are—"
At this moment, Wei Chao stood up and walked towards a beer girl who appeared not far away. The little girl looked at him with a look of hesitation.That was Yang Leling who had changed her mind.
Because Wei Chao left the meeting without saying hello to them, even Shao Fan didn't know why he dragged a beer girl out of their sight, so his confusion grew.
After a few minutes passed, Shaofan couldn't sit still anymore, put down Zhining and Xiaohui and followed.Until he found an uncomfortable scene at the corner from the bar leading to Exit No. [-]. Wei Chao was patting the shoulder of the beer girl while she was sobbing in his arms.
Shao Fan frowned, stopped, ordered another glass of wine at the bar, and then leaned his back against the decorative pillar of the bar in the bartending area and looked at them.
When the woman had finished crying, Wei Chao whispered a few more words in her ear, and the two separated.Wei Chao stood there looking a little melancholy, but his expression was unexpectedly relaxed, as if he was a little happy, and Shao Fan saw it, not to mention his displeasure.
In fact, Shao Fan's mind was in a mess at that time, he was suddenly afraid to push the vague dark cloud in his heart, it was terrible jealousy and crazy possessiveness, every time he got close to Wei Chao, it seemed like a wave of madness ran through his body Flooded.No matter how strong the recovery ability is, when he is alone and thinking again, there is no way to block the looming emotional gap. Only Wei Chao can fill it in time.
When Wei Chao came back with a gratified smile on his lips, Shao Fan put down his cup, stepped forward a few times, grabbed Wei Chao's arm, and led him out of Jiashiqi with a surprised face.
"Hey, what are you doing! Aren't you saying goodbye to your friends?" Wei Chao was somewhat dissatisfied with Shaofan's domineering restraint.
"Follow me." Shaofan simply ordered, and then led him back to the car, and hurriedly stepped on the accelerator to leave the right and wrong place.
"I don't understand what you're mad about!"
Wei Chao seemed to realize something, so he took the initiative to explain the misunderstanding just now, "The girl's elder brother hid a gun and went to jail for revenge against those who bullied her. He asked me to put his sister in place. I agreed, but until today I just explained the truth to her and tried to persuade her to leave the bar and work in the office.”
Shao Fan felt a little relieved when he heard what happened, but his expression was still serious.
"I don't mind introducing new jobs, but you don't have to let her cry on your shoulders, and don't put her in your office."
"What kind of vinegar are you eating, how can I have a relationship with her—"
Speaking of this, Wei Chao was suddenly embarrassed, because if he remembered correctly, he said the word "flying vinegar", which was like a scene in a Hong Kong and Taiwan drama when young couples quarreled, so he shut up quickly.
There was silence in the car for a long time, but it was Wei Chao who broke through first: "Where are you taking me?"
"my home."
"Why should I go to your house?"
Shaofan said after a while, "If you want, you can live here."
Wei Chao suddenly lowered his head and said nothing, because he was tilting his head at that time, so he couldn't see what his expression was.
"It's fine if you don't want to." It was rare for Shaofan to feel his flustered clearly, "I mean, it doesn't matter where you live, I just want to be able...to see you as much as possible."
In fact, Wei Chao understood what Shao Fan meant, and he also received it. His chest was filled with some kind of bulging and contradictory tenderness, but he was so entangled that he couldn't speak.In terms of emotions, his on-the-spot coping ability is really getting worse.
The closer Wei Chao and Shao Fan got, the more jerky his expressions became, and it was unknown whether it was because they were too familiar, or because the progress of the relationship made him feel strange.
In fact, both Wei Chao and Gu Shaofan encountered the same problem, that is, how to fall in love with the same sex.
There are so many invisible roadblocks in the operation of this field, and many ordinary prologues are completely out of track once they are opened. The whole process is sometimes slow and sometimes rapid, and there are thrilling and blind contradictions that make them occasionally get lost in the front road.
Wu Kai often invites Wei Chao to the bar for a drink in the name of work recently. Originally, Wei Chao lacked interest in such entertainment activities. Distracting his attention, he no longer always thinks about the appointment with Gu Shaofan, so he will occasionally go to the appointment.
One day, Jiamin came in with a leaflet during her lunch break and strongly recommended it: "Single owners and tenants of Xingang Building have a large-scale networking event. This building hides many elites. My spring may be coming soon."
"It's so old-fashioned. But go if you want, I don't express my opinion." Wei Chao replied casually, but his eyes did not leave the file record.
"I was thinking, is it better for you to go with me? Because your image is clearly the ideal object tailored for those unmarried women, I will steal the spotlight if I attack with you, so you should help me hey!"
Originally, Jia Min had no hope for her lobbying, but Wei Chao, who has always been rigid, replied casually: "Really, what time?"
Jia Min excitedly reported loudly: "Tomorrow night at eight o'clock!"
"Well, if there is no temporary arrangement——"
"You're so funny, Brother Chao!" Jiamin patted his chest with a smile on his face and then hid, closing the door and opening it again as if afraid of his repentance, adding, "Tomorrow, I will continue to maintain your recent dressing style. By the way, your watch is really pretty!"
After Jiamin closed the door again, Wei Chao was the only one left in the huge office. He put down the folder in his hand with a sigh, and looked down at his watch.
In the past, Wei Chao didn't have the habit of wearing a watch. He just watched Gu Shaofan wear it for a few days, and then put it on the shelf of the wardrobe. Down.
The next night, Wei Chao and Jia Min appeared at the fraternity meeting as scheduled. It was the auditorium on the top floor of Xingang, and it was now decorated as a gorgeous dance scene.
Jiamin "abandoned" him as soon as he entered the table, and was invited to dance by a man in a suit.Wei Chao took out a set of linen shirts from the closet that day, paired them with thin corduroy pants and dark coffee loafers.He thought that if it was Gu Shaofan, he would probably take a Maserati sports car.
In the middle, some bold girls also came up to hand Wei Chao their business cards. Wei Chao was not good at talking to women, so he had to deal with it shyly. He was quite pleasing, but because of his inaction and inactivity, other energetic men took over. got a head start.

Just when a rich girl was chasing him with words, a phone call saved the missed conversation.
"Mr. Wei Chao, I am Mary Feng of Heep Hong Society. We have received the check you sent last week. On behalf of the sick children, I would like to thank you for your strong and selfless support to Heep Hong Society."
Wei Chao was taken aback: "Sorry, I haven't donated money recently."
"I know that you entrusted a gentleman to donate anonymously, but when we promised not to disclose the name of the donor, he recorded your name and address, and we will send you the relevant receipt."
Wei Chao inquired about the amount of the donation hesitantly, and it was really a generous donation.

Today, Wei Chao took a small sip of coffee and spit it out: "It's so hot!"
Jiamin looked at Wei Chao's embarrassed look with amused expression: "Didn't you see the heat above? I have no obligation to cool you down and bring it in." She mentioned the oolong last night, "I just did a few dances, Just slip away, tell me anyway."

Now knowing that Yang Leling has returned to the place where she once had nightmare memories, although this bar is not that bar, but no matter how artistic the form is, Wei Chao is still afraid that she will inevitably have a shadow of misfortune left in her heart, causing bad psychological reflexes, so today Came here to check it out.
If she wants to invite her to work as a front office receptionist in the firm, a relatively simpler and lighter environment will help her.
Wei Chao successfully found the client. Le Ling was very surprised when she saw this handsome man. After Wei Chao explained his intentions, Le Ling fell into a long silence. Finally, she said she wanted to sell beer and turned away.
Wei Chao didn't want to force her, so he just sat on the high chair and waited.At this time, Gu Shaofan entered the arena, he glanced around, and immediately found Wei Chao sitting in the corner of the bar.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and his facial contours seem to be thinner, but also more sexy.It turns out that missing can give the other party extra points, Shao Fan's heart warmed up, and he stepped forward.
"You really look good." Standing behind Wei Chao, Shao Fan leaned close to his ear and said, "I can order brandy now."
Wei Chao glanced to the side, as if he was not used to flirting with Shao Fan in public.
But when he really looked directly at Gu Shaofan, his tone slowed down unconsciously: "I ordered it for you, but I didn't even take a sip."
Shaofan is wearing a beige trench coat today, with a retro T-shirt and Gucci leather pants. Wei Chao saw him wearing earrings and exaggerated wrist accessories for the first time. It has a bit of excessive visual impact, probably because he was dressed too much at home before. Living at home has suddenly highlighted a fashion-forward personality. Wei Chao is willing to admit that a person who dares to dress can also be called a professional.
"Tomorrow is a holiday, can you go to the sculpture exhibition with me in the afternoon?" Shao Fan felt distressed when he saw his quiet side face, "It seems that he is reluctant, there is still something to do?"
In the past, even small talk was rare, let alone Wei Chao took the initiative to talk to him about work.
"Well, I'm going to Causeway Bay. Recently, there has been a lot of movement in the community. It seems to be back to the 90s. There are some things that I want to investigate by myself."
When it came to the underworld, Shao Fan felt something was wrong: "I don't want you to do dangerous things again, understand?"
"Leave me alone now..."
Wei Chao smiled lightly, as if he didn't take his words to heart at all, so Shao Fan had no choice but to lower his head and sip his wine.
Wei Chao then raised his hand and ordered a glass of juice drink: "I know it's embarrassing to drink this here, but there are some things where you have to take risks to have a chance of winning. You taught me."
"Are you mocking me?"
Wei Chao was puzzled by Shao Fan's suspicion, so he shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, which made Shao Fan feel powerless as if hitting cotton with force was futile.
At this time, Wei Chao, because Gu Shaofan was sitting next to him, couldn't explain why, and felt a certain kind of special stability.
This is a comfort that has never been experienced for many years, peaceful and lively, overturning the loneliness endured alone, and enjoying the luxury of self-centeredness.
Thinking of this, his eyes have become different. When he looked at Gu Shaofan, Shaofan's black eyes seemed to be suddenly lit, burning fiercely.
At this moment, the original soft and romantic jazz background music was replaced by a burst of loud stage songs, which also awakened some suspected couples who were looking at each other in time.
Shao Fan pulled Wei Chao up and switched to a row of sofa seats with high backs, half-box style, but he could see the stage performance clearly.
At this time, the lights dimmed, and then the whole stage fell silent. When the show music came out, Shao Fan looked up and saw Su Hui.It turned out that she was signed as an endorsement by a certain jewelry company, and the jewelry company booked a presentation here, and Ms. Su became the opening guest.
Shao Fan raised his hand and asked the waiter to order the largest bouquet for the stage. Half an hour later, the waiter sent a note and invited them to the backstage.
When Shao Fan explained his relationship with Su Hui and Xue Zhining to Wei Chao all the way, Wei Chao said that he would just wait outside, he was not good at dealing with strangers, so he stopped at the entrance of the corridor .
Shao Fan walked alone to the special guest dressing room backstage, but was stopped by Xue Zhining at the corner.
Shaofan looked at him and said, "You really are Xiaohui's follower."
"Congratulations, my friend will win the show, I'm very loyal!" Zhi Ning stuck out half of his head, looked towards the end of the corridor, his eyes flickered, he was really a little surprised.
"It turns out that he is the mysterious Mr. X. Even if you are not picky, you don't have to choose such a tough and cheap steak." Zhi Ning began to dig up old scores, "Did you forget that someone sent someone to follow you, And leave you the phone number of the charity as a souvenir?"
Although Shao Fan did not expect Wei Chao to be exposed in front of Xue Zhining so early, he also felt that there was no need to explain: "I don't need you to talk about the matter with him."
"OK, I'll keep my mouth shut. But you'd better be mentally prepared. What is the magic weapon for this handsome guy to decide you? You know it yourself. Although I don't know him at all, I know that he and those tricks under the lights outside Beautiful men are by no means the same kind, you have to see him completely, he may not be willing to open up to you.”
When Zhi Ning said these words to Shao Fan, Shao Fan didn't refute. Even though Zhi Ning didn't care about Wei Chao's opinion, some facts still hurt him.
Because Shaofan knew that just being an outsider was enough to see through his situation.
"I don't care who he is, he's here with me now."
"This person's origin is unknown, you don't know his background, what if he uses you?"
"I've joined his firm, and now I'm with him, can you say a few words less?"
Zhi Ning looked defeated by him: "Xiu Yi, you're hopeless this time, I've never seen you protect others like this, and do something that has no return on investment."
"I just want to tell you that he deserves it."
At this time, Su Hui opened the door and walked out: "Hey, what are you two big men doing muttering at my door! Xiuyi, I didn't expect you to come to join me. Zhining told you, right?" .”
Shao Fan didn't want to say it was just a coincidence, so he just went along with the flow and congratulated: "Uh, the show was a success."
Su Hui hugged him and said coquettishly: "You have been missing for a long time, and I have never seen you. I miss your first-class source of goods so much."
Zhi Ning laughed: "Today, I finally spoke the truth." Then he didn't know whether it was on purpose or what, he said loudly in Wei Chao's direction, "Xiu Yi also brought friends here."
Shao Fan sensitively turned his head to look in the direction of Wei Chao, who had already nodded in their direction.
Several people looked at each other, but it was Su Hui who responded first: "Hey, he looks familiar. Is he an artist brought by Xiu Yi? He's so handsome."
Zhi Ning pointed out, "He is Xiu Yi's good friend."
Su Hui thought he was joking: "Who are you lying to! Do I not know Xiu Yi's friends?"
She turned around and asked the person excitedly, "Xiu Yi, is he the new model signed by Pearl? Such high quality, isn't it some hidden secret weapon?!"
Shao Fan replied gloomily, "He's not from Mingzhu."
"Isn't it? That would be the best."
"Tsk, so he is still Xiaohui's cup of tea." Zhi Ning said sourly.
Although Ms. Su can't remember ever having a relationship with Wei Chao, it is obvious that her taste in men of different professions has not changed at all.
"Don't be sour!" Su Hui slapped Zhi Ning on the chest, but her eyes were focused on Wei Chao, and the next second she strode over and notified behind her without looking back, "Xiu Yi , I want to know him."
This was the second time that she had shown great affection for Wei Chao. Miss Su rarely showed her affections to the opposite sex in private, but now she suddenly became bold for some reason, and Zhi Ning, who was watching, was dumbfounded.
"Is this man the reincarnation of Concubine Xiang, so popular—ah!" The last cry was because Shao Fan gave him an elbow in the stomach, and he bent over and cried out in pain.
At the other end, Su Hui has already introduced herself: "Hi, I'm Su Hui, please call me Xiaohui."
Wei Chao seemed a little embarrassed when he approached the super beauty, but luckily Shao Fan stepped forward to help him out in time: "Let me introduce..."
But afterwards, Su Hui didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and kept talking with Wei Chao. Although Wei Chao avoided talking about his own affairs, his spirit had already relaxed.
"Could Xiaohui also be interested in him?" Zhi Ning fanned the flames in Shaofan's ear, "You plan to let Xiaohui know that you and him are—"
At this moment, Wei Chao stood up and walked towards a beer girl who appeared not far away. The little girl looked at him with a look of hesitation.That was Yang Leling who had changed her mind.
Because Wei Chao left the meeting without saying hello to them, even Shao Fan didn't know why he dragged a beer girl out of their sight, so his confusion grew.
After a few minutes passed, Shaofan couldn't sit still anymore, put down Zhining and Xiaohui and followed.Until he found an uncomfortable scene at the corner from the bar leading to Exit No. [-]. Wei Chao was patting the shoulder of the beer girl while she was sobbing in his arms.
Shao Fan frowned, stopped, ordered another glass of wine at the bar, and then leaned his back against the decorative pillar of the bar in the bartending area and looked at them.
When the woman had finished crying, Wei Chao whispered a few more words in her ear, and the two separated.Wei Chao stood there looking a little melancholy, but his expression was unexpectedly relaxed, as if he was a little happy, and Shao Fan saw it, not to mention his displeasure.
In fact, Shao Fan's mind was in a mess at that time, he was suddenly afraid to push the vague dark cloud in his heart, it was terrible jealousy and crazy possessiveness, every time he got close to Wei Chao, it seemed like a wave of madness ran through his body Flooded.No matter how strong the recovery ability is, when he is alone and thinking again, there is no way to block the looming emotional gap. Only Wei Chao can fill it in time.
When Wei Chao came back with a gratified smile on his lips, Shao Fan put down his cup, stepped forward a few times, grabbed Wei Chao's arm, and led him out of Jiashiqi with a surprised face.
"Hey, what are you doing! Aren't you saying goodbye to your friends?" Wei Chao was somewhat dissatisfied with Shaofan's domineering restraint.
"Follow me." Shaofan simply ordered, and then led him back to the car, and hurriedly stepped on the accelerator to leave the right and wrong place.
"I don't understand what you're mad about!"
Wei Chao seemed to realize something, so he took the initiative to explain the misunderstanding just now, "The girl's elder brother hid a gun and went to jail for revenge against those who bullied her. He asked me to put his sister in place. I agreed, but until today I just explained the truth to her and tried to persuade her to leave the bar and work in the office.”
Shao Fan felt a little relieved when he heard what happened, but his expression was still serious.
"I don't mind introducing new jobs, but you don't have to let her cry on your shoulders, and don't put her in your office."
"What kind of vinegar are you eating, how can I have a relationship with her—"
Speaking of this, Wei Chao was suddenly embarrassed, because if he remembered correctly, he said the word "flying vinegar", which was like a scene in a Hong Kong and Taiwan drama when young couples quarreled, so he shut up quickly.
There was silence in the car for a long time, but it was Wei Chao who broke through first: "Where are you taking me?"
"my home."
"Why should I go to your house?"
Shaofan said after a while, "If you want, you can live here."
Wei Chao suddenly lowered his head and said nothing, because he was tilting his head at that time, so he couldn't see what his expression was.
"It's fine if you don't want to." It was rare for Shaofan to feel his flustered clearly, "I mean, it doesn't matter where you live, I just want to be able...to see you as much as possible."
In fact, Wei Chao understood what Shao Fan meant, and he also received it. His chest was filled with some kind of bulging and contradictory tenderness, but he was so entangled that he couldn't speak.In terms of emotions, his on-the-spot coping ability is really getting worse.
The closer Wei Chao and Shao Fan got, the more jerky his expressions became, and it was unknown whether it was because they were too familiar, or because the progress of the relationship made him feel strange.
In fact, both Wei Chao and Gu Shaofan encountered the same problem, that is, how to fall in love with the same sex.
There are so many invisible roadblocks in the operation of this field, and many ordinary prologues are completely out of track once they are opened. The whole process is sometimes slow and sometimes rapid, and there are thrilling and blind contradictions that make them occasionally get lost in the front road.
