Pandora's Box

So I called him: "Zhuo Wenyang."

"Ok?"

"Zhuo Wenyang."

"Ok?"

I really like calling him by name, and the way he responds to me is gentle, quiet, and patient.

Over the years, the Lin Jing in the past, and the me in the future, have recited this name devoutly and silently countless times in my heart, like prayers, in the night when no one was around.

But dare not let people hear, also can not get a response.

Now the man with that name is with me, and responds gently to my calling.It was as if all the prayers I'd had in the past had finally come true.

I called him over and over again, and he finally asked, "What's the matter?"

I said, "I just want to call you by your first name."

"Ok?"

"Your name sounds nice."

He seemed to be smiling in the dark: "Really?"

"Do not you think so?"

"I didn't think it before," he said, "but you said it sounds good, and I suddenly think it sounds good."

I could not help but gently rest my head on his shoulder.

I feel more and more that this man is quite stupid, for example, he doesn't know anything about his beauty.

So cute, so pitiful.

The room was quiet for a while, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

I feel his warm body temperature, which warms my heart, as well as the unique and pleasant fragrance on his body, as if surrounded by gentle and silent waves.

Strange to say, there have been countless unsuitable fantasies about him over the years, but at this moment, the top priority is not that kind of thoughts.

I don't know if it's because of shyness, timidity, or lack of realism.

Or maybe, after those years of unrequited love, being able to cling to a real real person like this, not only won't be rejected, won't encounter evasion, and even be welcomed, is already completely satisfied, so that it doesn't matter for a while. Ask for more.

Silent snuggling is also good, but if you don't say anything, you feel like wasting the precious time together.

So I thought, before I went upstairs, I asked him to have a chat and catch up on the old days, but in the end I didn't talk about the old days at all.

So is it time to talk?

After careful consideration, I said, "Zhuo Wenyang, how did you acquire GLX?"

He probably didn't expect to talk about this topic suddenly, and he let out a "hey" unexpectedly.

"It can't be, you bought it because you knew I was going to recommend Zhao Zichao?"

The president bought a team for his wife. Although I am not a wife, this romantic routine is quite sweet.

Zhuo Wenyang smiled and said, "That's not the case."

"..." Telling some lies will coax me to die, it's too honest, it's not romantic at all.

"Although it's nothing to raise a team, it's not a trivial matter. Of course, it's an investment decision made after a lot of research," he said, "But when I chose to invest in GLX, I really considered that it was your favorite team. I don't want to One day you come back and it's gone, or changed beyond recognition."

"..." Woohoo, it's still a bit romantic.

"And I thought, if you have nothing else to do, maybe you can choose a team manager as your career, you have excellent public relations skills, and you have also learned the skills of management, which is another area of ​​​​your interest and talent .Maybe you will realize your dream in this industry.”

I recalled Gu Yin's reaction at that time, and couldn't help but say: "No wonder Gu Yin tried his best to keep me. I thought he knew heroes with his eyes. Did you instruct me? The relationship is actually myself!"

He smiled and said, "Of course Gu Yin also wants to cooperate with you. He really needs a capable partner to help him share his worries."

So the two of us discussed our future development prospects seriously for a long time, and the occasion where we cuddled each other on the bed turned into a large-scale recruitment site.

It's not romantic!

But with Zhuo Wenyang, I feel that everything is romantic, even talking about the status quo of the team's operation is romantic.

Then he said: "Of course, the above are just my personal thoughts. You don't have to be restrained. Boldly choose what you really like to do, and I will support you no matter what."

"Then if I don't want to work, but just want to be a prodigal son who loses money and starts a business?"

"What does it matter?" He was quite serious, "Although I may not have a lot of money, it should still be enough for you to pay." "What if I lose all..."

"Then I'll make more money," he said. "I make money and you lose money. It's a balance."

"Hahahahaha."

Why is it so funny when he said such outrageous words in such a serious manner.

"I'm kidding," I said, "I think it would be nice to work on a team."

"really?"

"You just wait to see me show my skills, maybe I can lead GLX to win the world championship!"

He smiled: "That's great, I'm counting on you."

"Hey hey hey."

Then he suddenly grabbed my hand.

"Thank you."

"Huh? The champion hasn't arrived yet."

He said, "No. Thank you for being able to come back to us."

"..."

"Thank you, really," he said. "Will I wake up and realize it was a dream?"

"..."

"It doesn't matter if it's a dream," he said softly, "It's also good to have such a dream."

I grabbed his fingers viciously: "It's not a dream."

"Ah."

I was fierce: "Are you kidding me?! It doesn't matter if it's a dream?! It can't be a dream, did you hear me?"

"Ah."

After a while, he said again, "I'm sorry."

"what?"

He whispered, "I'm sorry for many things, everything. I'm sorry, Lin Jing."

"..."

"sorry."

I hugged him tightly.

We are like two little rabbits, hugging each other.

In order to comfort me, Zhuo Wenyang once sent me an emoji of two rabbits hugging. At that time, I thought sadly, if he could really hug me like this, it would be great.

And we are now, just like them, embracing each other as if warming each other.Our past seemed quietly intertwined.

In fact, before he apologized, I had already let go.

I feel a little sad, but it's just sad.

And it wasn't time that healed me.

is the love I get.

When I woke up the next day and opened my eyes, my first reaction was to confirm whether the people around me were illusions.

In the bright sunlight, his tall nose cast a shadow, and his hair and skin were shining.real, fresh.

Not a dream.

I breathed a sigh of relief.Then suddenly realized that bright sunlight ==?

I quickly looked at the clock, and the hour hand was past ten.

I jumped up from the bed like a carp.

It's already this point?How did you fall asleep until this point? !

Originally, he wanted to get up earlier and let Zhuo Wenyang go back to his room while Cheng Yichen was still sleeping, so as to fake a scene where nothing happened.

It's about this time, Cheng Yichen must have woken up a long time ago, if he doesn't go to the bookstore today and wants to accompany me at home, how can Zhuo Wenyang go out?

I was so flustered that I had no choice but to bite the bullet and secretly open the door a crack to check the enemy's situation first.

There seemed to be no one in the living room.

I observed in secret for a while, then opened the door cautiously and went out, looked around to make sure that Cheng Yichen was not at home, only the cold breakfast was on the table.

I finally felt relieved and went back to the bedroom to see that Zhuo Wenyang had also woken up and was sitting on the bed.

Looking into my eyes, he asked, "Where have you been?"

I patted my chest in fear: "I just went to investigate, Uncle Chen is not at home, it's all right, you can come out now."

He frowned and said with a smile, "Why are you acting like a thief?"

I suddenly felt guilty.

This is indeed a thief.

I stole someone's son.

Although there was that unbearable past, Cheng Yichen really treated me sincerely.Regardless of whether it is out of guilt or not, he treats me better than Zhuo Wenyang in many cases, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he treats me as his own.

So much so that when I am with his son, I feel as if I owe him something.

After all, if Zhuo Wenyang didn't fall into my pit, there would be many better choices in life.Not to mention that most people from this kind of family choose to marry, even if he doesn't mention his own excellence, he should be matched with a well-matched lady, and it can't be my turn.

Of course Cheng Yichen isn't snobbish, but which parent doesn't want his children to have better prospects?

Or, worse, what if he thinks I'm taking this opportunity to get back at him?

Thinking of this, my originally bright and happy mood became dark and heavy.

"Go brush your teeth and eat something."

"what……"

It was only then that I realized that Zhuo Wenyang had already gone to heat up the breakfast while I was thinking wildly.

I asked him, "Aren't you rushing to work? You're already late."

Zhuo Wenyang gave a "hmm" and said, "I'm not going today."

"Hey? Can this be done?"

"Yes," he said, "if there is any urgent matter, I can also solve it on my mobile phone."

I was very surprised: "Is this the beginning of absenteeism? How can I learn bad things so quickly?

He said very seriously: "I can learn everything very quickly."

I understand that he is here to accompany me, and on the one hand, I feel that this is not good, and as soon as I come back, I will lead him astray, who is dedicated to his job, and on the other hand, I am really happy in my heart.

After quickly eating porridge and meat buns, Zhuo Wenyang asked, "Do you want to go for a walk? The sun is good today."

"it is good!"

Although the relationship at this time must be due to the desire for more private space than the public, but in this room I dare not commit crimes against the wind.

I always feel that his father may show up at any time. It feels like when I cheated in the exam, I was always on guard against the teacher coming from behind. Even sitting next to him felt like a drumbeat.

It's better to go out and find a place where no one is around, maybe you can secretly hold hands.

I went downstairs with this anticipation. The community is supposed to be quiet on weekdays, but today it was a bit lively.

Then I realized that this was Cheng Yichen and the others catching stray cats.

Several flight boxes were placed on the ground next to the green belt, but only Lu Feng and Cheng Yichen were really grabbing.

We approached, and I asked, "How's the catch?"

Cheng Yichen was obviously not very satisfied, sighed, and said: "I only caught Qixi, Orchid Bean and Oreo this morning. I didn't see the Orange Tea family. Too many people came here at once, they were all strangers, the cat scared away."

Lu Feng said solemnly: "Yes, it's all their problem, I'm not a stranger."

Cheng Yichen glanced at him, but said nothing.

I am very speechless.Whether it's a human or an animal, they can feel that Lu Feng is the scariest one!

Anyway, the wronged bodyguards were out of work, and these two were left to work diligently on the front line. Fortunately, Cheng Yichen had a lot of patience, and Lu Feng was always patient when he was by Cheng Yichen's side.

After a while, finally a beautiful big orange cat was attracted by the smell of canned cat food. After cautiously testing it several times, it finally got into the cage.

As soon as it entered the cage, it immediately retreated vigilantly, but the cage door had already fallen.

Cheng Yichen happily yelled "Orange tea!" Then he went to lift the cage, Lu Feng helped put the cat into the flight case, and he was very agile.

Cheng Yichen was about to take the air box to the car, when Lu Feng said again: "Didn't it give birth to a litter of kittens, if you want to catch the kittens, put it here for a while, it will draw the kittens out soon. "

"..."

This guy may not understand cats, but he understands the nature of animals.

Sure enough, the orange tea yelled for a while, and several kittens came out of the grass one after another. After all, their vigilance was still very weak, and they were caught by the lure of the canned cat food not long after.

At first, the cats scratched the cage uncomfortably, but with the canned food as a reward, the cats soon began to eat with peace of mind.

This time the harvest was quite fruitful, Cheng Yichen smiled all over his face, and even praised Lu Feng: "Amazing! I really have you!"

Lu Feng didn't have much expression on his face, but he could feel that he was very happy, every pore of his body was filled with the happiness of being praised.

I feel very good.

Maybe I'm a petty and selfish person. After all, when I'm in pain, I want them to experience that pain too.

But now I am very happy, I am a stingy person, and I also want to see them get their own happiness.

After watching for a while, the two of us took our leave politely.After all, whether it's me and Zhuo Wenyang, or Lu Fengcheng Yichen, now we all need more space for the two of us.

When I walked to the apartment building where I had just placed the deposit, I raised my head and pointed, and said to Zhuo Wenyang, "I've bought the apartment on the eleventh floor!"

Zhuo Wenyang looked at me, as if shocked.

"What did you buy?"

"I bought a house."

He opened his eyes wide: "House?"

"Yes," I puffed out my chest proudly, "I will soon be a house owner."

He froze for a while and said, "Why do you want to buy a house?"

"There is a place of your own, and it can add value."

He looked at me and smiled: "Great!"

"Nope," I confessed. "Actually, I didn't earn the money myself. My father gave it to me when I left. I bought a house by gnawing on the old."

"That's also very powerful," he said with a smile: "For Lin Jing before, it's unlikely that this money will be kept for two years. Even if he wants to buy it, he should buy a luxury car."

"Hahaha..." Indeed, back then, I should have bought a Lamborghini calf to show off the coolness, and the rest of the money would be squandered on food, drink, and entertainment, and it would be spent in a few months.

He seemed to be very emotional: "You have changed, Lin Jing."

I tensed reflexively: "So, if it changes, do you still like it?"

He smiled: "I like whatever you become. This seems to be my instinct, and I can't fix it."

"..." I said, "You have changed too."

He looked at me and said seriously, "Really?"

"You're naughty, I'm straight; you're bad, I'm good. Tsk tsk."

Zhuo Wenyang smiled and said: "So when we add it up, the total amount of good and bad is still the same, which is good and stable."

I don't know why, but I felt a little embarrassed, so I scratched my head and said, "The house is not mine yet. After the ownership transfer, clean it up a bit, and I'll invite you to come and play."

"Okay," he said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to it."

"Where are we going now?"

"where do you want to go?"

I had a flash of inspiration: "Let's go to your house."

Zhuo Wenyang was taken aback for a moment.

"I haven't visited your house yet. So how can you come to my house when the time comes?"

He looked at me, as if hesitating slightly, but still said, "Okay."
