after running with the ball

A person's liking is obvious, no matter how deeply he hides it, it is impossible to completely cover it up.

Just as Xi Chen is gentler and closer to Zhuo Yang than others, Zhuo Yang has the illusion that Chen Chen likes him several times; Zhuo Yang's liking for Xi Chen is very restrained, but it never stops, and he is not like Xi Chen. Chen can hide his emotions like that, otherwise Xi Chen's desire and longing to be close to Xi Chen would not be seen by Xi Chen when he was studying.

Recently, Xi Chen noticed that Zhuo Yang looked at him more often.

Zhuo Yang didn't dare to look at him directly, and always secretly.Xi Chen can't detect it with his own eyes every time, but he can feel Zhuo Yang's eyes falling on him, and every time he looks at Zhuo Yang when he feels something, he will see Zhuo Yang's gaze hastily and panicked. take it back.

Zhuo Yang was also depressed about being caught almost every time he watched Xi Chen.He wanted to hold back, but when facing Xi Chen, the desire to see him was like an innate instinct, and he couldn't help it.For this reason, Zhuo Yang could only memorize the knowledge he learned by himself, and his learning progress improved by leaps and bounds.

……

In mid-June, the outdoor temperature is getting higher and higher day by day.

After having lunch with Xi Chen at the company, Zhuo Yang did not go back to the villa directly, but drove to a nearby shopping mall.

Xi Chen's birthday is coming soon, and he is more than a month older than him, Zhuo Yang knew this when he was in high school.

When he was studying, Xi Chen had always been a man of influence in the school. This was reflected not only in his good looks, but also in his grades, and his family was rich.All excellent in several items, it is difficult for people not to pay attention.

When Xi Chen had his first and second birthdays in senior high school, he would invite the whole class to attend the birthday party at home, which made many students in other classes very envious.The first time Zhuo Yang heard about Xi Chen's birthday, he wrote down the date, even after so many years.

Zhuo Yang has been shopping in the mall for several days in a row, and he has been thinking about what birthday present to buy for Xi Chen these days.I want to buy a watch, but Xi Chen wears a million dollar watch, and Xi Chen doesn't smoke, otherwise Zhuo Yang thinks he can buy a lighter.Finally, Zhuo Yang hesitated between the pen and the tie, and chose the tie.

The price of a tie is four digits, which is very expensive for Zhuo Yang. Normally, Zhuo Yang would be reluctant to buy such an expensive item, but the monthly salary Xi Chen gave him is enough for him to buy several.Zhuo Yang is well aware of his ability. At present and even in the next few years, it is impossible for him to get such a high salary in other places. Xi Chen raised his salary specially.

After choosing a birthday gift for Xi Chen, after dinner, Zhuo Yang asked Xi Chen before he entered the room, should he book a restaurant to celebrate outside on his birthday, or invite friends to the villa for a birthday party?

Xi Chen rejected both of these items, he said: "Just order a restaurant and have a simple meal."

"Okay." Zhuo Yang remembered this, and asked again: "Do you want to invite President Liu and President Wang?" These two presidents are relatively young, and they both had dinner with Xi Chen on the rest day, and they are relatively familiar with each other.

"No need." Xi Chen said, "Just the two of us."

Zhuo Yang felt that he didn't hear clearly, "Us?"

"En." Xi Chen repeated to him, "We."

Zhuoyan clicked, "Okay, okay."

Zhuo Yang spent many times with Xi Chen alone, but he felt that the meaning was different from being alone on Xi Chen's birthday, especially the tone of Xi Chen's second time just now, which seemed to be emphasizing, as if there was no deep meaning.

……

The days passed quickly, and it was Xi Chen's birthday in the blink of an eye.

When Zhuo Yang got up and dressed in the morning, he had the illusion that he was going on a date with Xi Chen today.

It was a working day, and Xi Chen went to work normally. When Xi Chen left in the morning, he asked Zhuo Yang to bring his computer and books with him when he delivered lunch at noon. He stayed with him in the company in the afternoon, and went directly to the restaurant after get off work.

When Zhuo Yang arrived at Xi Chen's office at noon, Xi Chen was having a video conversation with someone.After Zhuo Yang went in, he heard Yan Kai's excited voice from the other end of the video, "Assistant Zhuo? Did Assistant Zhuo deliver the food? Bro, give Assistant Zhuo the phone, and I'll talk to him."

Before Zhuo Yang and Yan Kai exchanged WeChat, Yan Kai would occasionally send a WeChat to ask him what he was doing, and Zhuo Yang would simply reply with a few words, and he was familiar with it after going back and forth.

Xi Chen handed the phone to Zhuo Yang, and when Zhuo Yang took it, he saw Yan Kai's handsome face on the screen, and complained after seeing him: "Assistant Zhuo, I said I would come to celebrate my brother's birthday, but he didn't Allow me to come here, please tell me about him, how can he be so ruthless to his brother!"

Zhuo Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, I am Mr. Xi's life assistant, and I listen to Mr. Xi."

"Why do you still call him Mr. Xi!" Yan Kai said, "Brother, your actions are too slow."

Zhuo Yang looked puzzled, and Xi Chen next to him took the phone away, signaling Zhuo Yang to continue cooking.

Yan Kai in the video immediately said: "Brother, I still have something to say to Assistant Zhuo!"

Xi Chen glanced at him lightly, "A few words."

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid I'll be a light bulb." After Yan Kai muttered, he said with a smile: "Brother, I wish the two of you a happy night!"

There was a voice from Zhuo Yang, Xi Chen looked over and saw that Zhuo Yang was picking up the chopsticks that fell on the coffee table and putting them on the bowl.

Xi Chen turned to Yan Kai and said, "I'll go back next month to clean you up."

Then he hung up the call amid Yan Kai's screams, put down his phone and walked towards the tea table.Zhuo Yang was still standing there, his ears were red, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at him.

Xi Chen knew the last sentence Yan Kai said just now, Zhuo Yang must have heard it.Xi Chen didn't want Zhuo Yang to be at a loss and panic, so he pretended not to know.

Zhuo Yang also took a deep breath and told himself that it was just an auditory hallucination.

After dinner, Zhuo Yang originally wanted to go to the conference room on the next floor to stay for an afternoon, but Xi Chen said that all the conference rooms would be used in the afternoon, so he had to stay in Xi Chen's office and use the coffee table as a computer desk.It's just that the coffee table was too short. In order not to make his neck so tired, Zhuo Yang sat cross-legged on the carpet, and the height was just right.

One afternoon, people came in and out of Xi Chen's office, and everyone who came in would look at Zhuo Yang curiously, especially pay attention to his sitting posture, saying that it was the first time they saw someone dare to relax so much in front of Xi Chen.They knew that this person was Xi Chen's life assistant. For this life assistant, they basically only heard of him by name. After all, Zhuo Yang took the special elevator to Xi Chen's office every day when he arrived at the company. Show up on other floors.The only people who are familiar with Zhuo Yang in this company are the receptionist and the secretaries outside Xi Chen's office.

In the past few years when Zhuo Yang worked in the hotel, he would not feel uncomfortable just because of the gaze of these people.He ignored those gazes and concentrated on studying at the computer.

At 05:30, Xi Chen got up, picked up his coat and put it on, and asked Zhuo Yang to pack up and get ready to leave work.

"Okay." Zhuo Yang turned off the computer, leaned on the tea table and was about to stand up, but he sat cross-legged all afternoon, he didn't feel it before, but now he moved and found that his legs were sore and numb, he didn't use it this time Forced, he squatted down and sat back.

Xi Chen smiled, walked over to help him up, and said, "Remember to change your posture in the future."

Zhuo Yang nodded in embarrassment, wishing he could bury his head on the ground, finally got up the courage to raise his head, and met Xi Chen's smiling eyes, and he was stunned.
