The whole world knows he has a crush on me

Shady corner of the venue.

The tall boy with curly hair looked at the iron box in disbelief, and grinned with his hands on his chest.

And the long-haired young man squatted under the tree, counting the ants on the tree with a pretty face.

ended.

The business of Ningning, a social animal, has ended for today.

He just wants to go home now, wrap himself in a quilt, don't listen to anyone, don't do anything, just like that, quietly, in a daze.

Richard was clearly more of a normal person than he was.

"I didn't expect you to be outside the door, are you all right, senior?"

Qu Ning was weak: "You should call me Qu Ning here."

Richard is young and has just graduated from college, and his whole body is still full of the atmosphere of a young boy.

"Then... I call you Brother Ning?"

Qu Ning wiped his forehead again: "It sounds like a mafia."

Richard has curly hair and a pair of dog eyes, but the outline of his face is very model-like, small and delicate.

"Brother Qu Ning, how did you locate me? It's amazing, is it Chinese Kung Fu!"

Qu Ning showed him the badge on his neck, "It's a Chinese social animal."

Richard: "Nanfeng Media...Designer?! You work for this company?! That icon was really designed by you!"

Qu Ning: "Yeah, yeah."

He looked at the time on his mobile phone, it was almost twelve o'clock after so long delay, a text message came for the restaurant reservation, Qu Ning straightened up on his knees: "Let's go, take you to dinner, let's talk while eating .”

Richard quickly picked up the backpack on the ground and followed behind Qu Ning, "What a coincidence, then we can be colleagues from now on?"

Qu Ning: "Probably... oh yes, today's meal is a treat. When I have a chance in the future, I will introduce the two of you to each other. You extroverts must have a lot of common topics."

Richard glanced at the traffic around him, and said indifferently, "Thank you Qu Ning."

Qu Ning: "It's okay, we're all friends."

Looking at the current Richard, it seemed as if he could imagine Bo Jiu's appearance in college, full of vigor and heroism, but Qu Ning began to unconsciously lose his mind again, and he was about to move forward with every step.

However, his arm was suddenly resisted. Looking back, Richard didn't smile, and his expression was a little anxious and serious: "Brother Ning, didn't you hear the car number?"

Qu Ning was taken aback suddenly.

"Sorry...I didn't go to work today, so I only wear a hearing aid."

Richard sighed: "It's okay, let's go."

Qu Ning was silent, then raised his eyes and smiled: "Actually, I came to you today to talk about this matter..."

The sunshine in the autumn afternoon was shining brightly, and it also brought a third of the late summer heat. The air-conditioning in the restaurant was particularly high, and there was a Chinese-style screen in front of Qu Ning.

"So, no one here knows your real situation?"

Qu Ning cut a small piece of foie gras and hummed, "And I also met an old classmate who is now the boss of Ren Nanfeng. He organized the modeling contest you participated in this time."

Richard looked surprised: "I thought Brother Ning, you don't have any friends... Ah, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean that!"

Qu Ning shook his head: "It's okay, I really don't have any friends, and I haven't contacted my relatives in China after returning home. I lived in a hotel for the first two months, and I just moved recently."

Richard hurriedly said: "Where did you move? Can I go and play with you?"

Qu Ning hesitated to speak: "...it's at the boss's house."

Richard: "?"

He concluded: "So the former old classmate is now the immediate boss or your landlord?"

Qu Ning: "That's right."

"But with your character, it's impossible to agree—"

"He's different," Qu Ning raised his eyes and interrupted the young boy, "He's different to me. I didn't say goodbye to this person when I went abroad, but now I meet him when I come back. sexual compensation."

Qu Ning roughly explained the contract to the other party.

Richard's face became more exciting, and he even forgot to tell him to change his name: "But Sean, you don't have to sacrifice so much, you don't like staying in the same space with others at all..."

"It's okay with him by accident, I don't hate him, it was seven years ago, and it's the same seven years later." Qu Ning poured some red wine for Richard, "And I don't want him to know some things about me, such as my ears. "

"There is a period of cohabitation between us. There is no need to bring him pain that may never be forgotten in a limited period of time."

Richard was a little sad: "You are still like this, you consider others completely in everything, but you live with the flow."

Qu Ning said with a smile, "I'm good at learning idioms."

Richard pretended to be angry: "We're talking about serious things!"

Qu Ning laughed again, and his face became serious again: "I know what is wrong with my ears. When I return to China, I will not contact that man, nor will I contact my mother. My mother has A very happy reorganized family, they have a very cute little son, I don't need to make things difficult for others."

Richard seemed to have thought of something, and looked very angry: "But they didn't take care of you! As a result, you had to go to Chinatown to work during your study abroad! You are a social barrier!"

Qu Ning thought optimistically: "But I have also practiced a good cooking skill? Thinking about Richard, at least I am living a good life now."

Richard almost stood up straight away, he looked at Qu Ning, his dark green eyes flashed unbearably: "But you...you can hardly hear...Is there really no other way?"

Qu Ning was silent for two seconds, then unconsciously repeated: "Maybe, but it doesn't matter. Even if I become deaf in the future, I can still read lips and learn sign language. It doesn't matter. I can live on."

Richard took a deep breath: "Sean...how about you come back to England with me, I—"

"--excuse me."

Qu Ning raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw a familiar figure walking into the restaurant.

"Where is the seat I reserved at noon?"

"Ah, Mr. Bo, please go this way—"

Qu Ning stood up abruptly.

How could it be Bo Jiu?How could he come!

Qu Ning thought of something, and quickly whispered to Richard: "You remember what I said, this person is very important to me, and you will know it when you see him."

Richard then raised his head, and the hollowed-out screen slowly turned, and he could vaguely see a man wearing a diagonally striped suit, wearing a bow tie delicately and rigorously, the shiny tie clip was buckled in place, the chain was hanging down, and a silver pocket watch was vaguely placed on it. in the upper side pocket.

A near-perfect elite attire.

It doesn't look like a meal, but a business discussion.

But this is not what shocked him the most. When Bo Jiu showed his face from behind the screen, Richard's heart really stirred up a storm.

Not because of the other person's appearance, but because he had seen this familiar face by chance.

In one of Qu Ning's private collections.

"He is the protagonist of "He"!?"

The male protagonist of the album who is on the desk full of pages, under the tung tree, carrying food, and reading manuscripts is actually Qu Ning's current contract partner!

The male protagonist's facial features are too prominent, even after a few years, he is still very recognizable!

Bo Jiu walked in, just in time to hear this question that seemed to be an artistic argument. He took a look at the two of them, and then sat directly beside Qu Ning, leaning back with his eyelids drooping. Waiting to order food respectfully.

Bo Jiu didn't seem to notice Qu Ning who was fidgeting next to him, and he didn't say anything about interrupting the conversation between the two of them. He nodded his chin at Richard: "It's the first time we meet, I'm Bo Jiu."

Qu Ning's eyelashes trembled slightly. This was Bo Jiu, who was familiar to him but also unfamiliar. It was just like in the meeting when they met for the first time.

But that time there were countless people between them, this time there were only two layers of clothes between them.

Qu Ning couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here..."

Only then did Bo Jiu turn his head: "Isn't this obvious? I'm coming to the restaurant for dinner."

The waiter asked at the right time: "What do you want to use?"

Bo Jiu straddled his legs: "Lunch box."

Waiter: "Huh?"

Bo Jiu: "This Mr. Qu's boxed lunch is stored here today, heat it up and bring it to me."

Qu Ning's head started to be buried down again, but before the burial was finished, Bo Jiu tilted over.

He reached out and pulled a handful of hair from the back of the young man's head, "Ningning, don't you want to introduce this new friend?"

Qu Ning didn't have such awesome and powerful social skills as Bo Jiu, but he knew that Bo Jiu had unexpectedly run out of food today, and the young master was a little angry.

He obediently did not break away from Bo Jiu's fondling, and said softly, "Mr. Bo, this is Richard, our rookie contestant, and also my junior in England. He has photographed wild animals in Africa before."

Bo Jiu: "Hey, that's amazing, did this little artist take pictures of elephants or leopards?"

Richard barely woke up from a huge secret, and looked at the opposite man with a complicated expression, but he didn't answer immediately.

Qu Ning glanced at Richard, with an invisible request in his eyes.

The hero named Bo Jiu once lived in the fantasy that a lonely artist relied on, but one day the fantasy suddenly became a reality, the artist reunited with his teenage dream, and asked him not to break his dream.

Qu Ning is indeed quite ruthless.

But he was ruthless to himself, he thought of a happy escape for everyone, but he didn't think about himself.

I didn't think about what to do in the future, how to treat my ears.

Richard's heart was full of emotions, looking at Bo Jiu's undisguised possessiveness, he fantasized about whether he would regret or feel heartbroken one day when this eccentric hero who seemed to care about Sean knew everything.

The young boy took a breath quietly and showed his best acting skills: "I have photographed both elephants and leopards, and I have also photographed lions and deer. There is a deer born with deaf ears. It survived tenaciously, I was very puzzled at first, and finally found out that there was a lion protecting it from behind."

Bo Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly: "This kind of lion is rare."

Richard smiled cheerfully. He has obvious foreign blood. "There are very few deer with diseases. I even sent a photo to Brother Qu Ning. Brother Qu Ning said that deer is very cute."

Bo Jiu turned his head and looked at the young man beside him with a slightly disturbed expression: "You artists' topics are really high-class, but it seems that a businessman like me is a bit vulgar."

"...Nothing, by the way, Richard, Mr. Bo Jiu will be your future boss if nothing else happens." Qu Ning tried to change the subject.

Richard skipped Bo Jiu's probing eyes, and looked at Qu Ning helplessly.

"It's an honor to work with me."

The waiter brought up Bo Jiu's meal, and Qu Ningchu's processed breakfast had been expanded into a sumptuous lunch. With a different presentation and some sauce from a western restaurant, the price would soar 880 in an instant.

"Eat, eat first, don't be hungry." Qu Ning coaxed.

Bo Jiu exhaled from his nasal cavity, and he couldn't see any emotion when facing the young man: "I saw you chatting happily from afar. I used to discuss with me how to paint the car's buttocks. Did I wrong you? I don't have art in me." bacteria."

Qu Ning opened his eyes wide: "No! I am willing to do that! It doesn't matter if you don't understand, we have been together happily for so long—"

Bo Jiu's voice was so low that only Qu Ning could hear: "You are right, but now I really want to get to know you again, so that the distance between us will be closer and more real."

Qu Ning's heart skipped a beat.

Get to know again... how do you understand? ...How can it be real?

But Bo Jiu didn't speak any more, but finished his meal silently, and assigned a manager to Richard on the spot. Without looking at the other party's interested eyes, he led Qu Ning straight out of the restaurant.

"I was too hungry just now, and my stomach was a little uncomfortable. Sometimes I have such a dog temper. I calmed down after eating, but it is impossible to expect you to read the report, so I was wondering if I could get closer to you. I have more common language with you." Like that Li Hede, he can have a good conversation with you.

Qu Ning: "...Huh?"

Bo Jiu said so many ambiguous words, but he didn't mention it again because of the contract.

He stood by the car and said, "I just asked Li Ming that an international orchestra will come to Ancheng for a tour in a few days. I asked him for two concert tickets. There are many classic repertoires in it. I can invite you to accompany him. Shall I listen to it? You artists should all like this."

Qu Ning was stunned beside the car.

concert?

And...he listens?

Bo Jiu frowned and repeated: "You don't want to go?"

Qu Ning came back to his senses, looked at the enthusiastic Bo Jiu, opened his lips and said, "Go."

"Being with you is certainly a rare opportunity, and I am looking forward to it."
