Just started working and the company is full of ex-girlfriends?

Chapter 40 The Emperor’s New Clothes

Dreamy.

The lights and shadows intertwine.

This night seemed particularly beautiful and long.

Shen Huai woke up belatedly and felt a burning pain in his back.

He stood up and tried to turn on the power switch, but Lin Yeman held him back: "Don't turn on the light."

Shen Huai was stunned for a moment.

Looking down at Lin Yeman's pleading eyes, Shen Huai nodded silently.

He understood that once the lights were turned on, all the beautiful illusions before his eyes would disappear.

Their relationship will return to that of colleagues, partners, and then ordinary friends.

After a burst of joy.

There was a long silence.

In the darkness, two people sat back to back, hugging their legs in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Shen Huai, have you ever fallen in love with me?"

After a long silence, Lin Yeman suddenly spoke and asked a question out of the blue.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Shen Huai's eyes darkened and he took a deep breath.

"So, did you like it or not?"

Lin Yeman refused to give in.

"..."

Shen Huai didn't know why Lin Yeman insisted on asking this question.

So what if you like it?
So what if you don't like it?

No matter how much you like it, it is already a thing of the past.

He, Shen Huai, never dwells on the past.

I could feel the back pressed against me and my breathing becoming more and more rapid.

Shen Huai's cold words fell into his throat, but he finally softened: "Of course I liked it."

Hear this.

Lin Yeman fell into a long silence again.

Just when Shen Huai suspected that Lin Yeman might have fallen asleep.

Lin Yeman took a deep breath suddenly, and his tone was unprecedentedly low.

"Shen Huai, do you know why I have always been reluctant to make our relationship public?"

"……Why?"

"Because I'm afraid."

Lin Yeman said these four words very calmly.

But Shen Huai inexplicably heard endless sorrow from it.

After a pause, Lin Yeman continued, "I am a complete pessimist. In my opinion, all good things are short-lived."

“The more beautiful something is, the shorter the time you have it.”

"So I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if I declare it to the world as my property, it will leave me faster."

As she spoke, Lin Yeman suddenly turned around and gently hugged Shen Huai from behind.

"I know you may think I'm crazy, but that's what I think."

"At the time, I was paranoid and thought that as long as no one knew about our relationship, we could remain friends."

"If we are friends, I will definitely be a funny and humorous person who is perfect for you."

"But if we were in a relationship, I would become a psychopath."

Lin Yeman's cheek rubbed gently against Shen Huai's back.

The arm that was holding Shen Huai's waist also tightened a little.

"Shen Huai, stable emotions and strong love cannot coexist in me, do you understand?"

"Love drives me crazy, makes me lose my mind, makes me extremely possessive."

"I can't help wanting feedback and confirmation from you over and over again, just like now."

Done.

Lin Yeman forcefully turned Shen Huai's face over, put her hands on Shen Huai's neck, and covered Shen Huai's lips again.

Feeling the strength of this kiss.

Shen Huai's throat was dry, and his primitive body reaction made him unable to help but respond for a few seconds.

But the next moment.

He grabbed Lin Yeman's arms with both hands and pulled her off her neck.

to be frank.

This was the first time Shen Huai heard Lin Yeman speak to him in such a humble tone.

Looking at Lin Yeman's eyes full of affection and sincerity at this moment.

At that moment, Shen Huai was actually moved. Shen Huai reacted and immediately extinguished this disturbing feeling.

There is no other reason.

It's simply that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

The way Lin Yeman speaks has always been three parts truth and seven parts lies.

As time went by, Shen Huai didn't know which of her words were true and which were false.

He didn't even know that her feelings for him were somewhat playful.

After all, in Shen Huai's eyes.

Lin Yeman has always been unwilling to acknowledge him as her boyfriend.

When I first entered college as a freshman, I didn’t have time to find a dormitory.

A girl with outstanding temperament and beautiful appearance came towards him and asked Shen Huai with a smile if he needed help.

Later, Shen Huai found out that this was the famous student union president, Lin Yeman.

At that time, he was just a freshman.

Lin Yeman is a senior in college and has been contacting various units for internships and taking exams.

At that time, Shen Huai still had fantasies about true love.

After class, I rushed out to work part-time, hoping to love Lin Yeman in my own way.

But I didn't expect it.

The heart of this innocent boy had not even warmed up before it was ruthlessly shattered by Lin Yeman.

that night.

Chinese Valentine's Day.

It was also such a spring evening in the hotel.

Lin Yeman lay in Shen Huai's arms with a satisfied look on her face, and said five words lightly: "Let's break up."

What is it like to ride a roller coaster in terms of mood?
Two words: I want to die.

Shen Huai was not convinced and asked for the reason, but what he got was two more cold words: "I'm tired of it."

These seven words.

It made Shen Huai start to doubt his life.

First, reflect on whether you are not doing well enough.

Then he began to suspect that Lin Yeman had fallen in love with someone else.

Then he started to blame everyone, drown his sorrows in alcohol, and hated all girls indiscriminately.

Finally, he sealed his heart and love and stepped into the mortal world.

From then on, the innocent boy no longer existed, and a scumbag was born in the world.

Shen Huai grabbed Lin Yeman's hand and slowly pressed it down: "Have you ever heard of a saying, delayed affection is cheaper than grass."

"If it were me in the past, I might not understand what you said."

"But now, I think what you did is fine."

"Without a title, there is no need to take responsibility. Just enjoy the present moment, right?"

"Since we have all made this choice, let's just maintain our mutual understanding. What do you think, Team Leader Lin?"

As he spoke, Shen Huai looked at Lin Yeman with deep eyes.

This time, Lin Yeman didn't laugh.

She looked at Shen Huai deeply, as if trying to see some other affection in his eyes.

But unfortunately, Shen Huai hid it very well.

She saw nothing.

"You really are a qualified 'friend'."

Lin Yeman's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she smiled faintly, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

"Can I come over once a week later?"

"No, I need to rest."

Shen Huai refused without hesitation.

Once a week, as his slave?
There's another one next door.

A flash of disappointment passed through Lin Yeman's eyes.

But she soon put on a sweet smile again and asked frivolously: "What type of...uniform do you like now?"

Shen Huai sighed.

He knew that this woman was still harboring evil intentions.

"I like the emperor's new clothes," Shen Huai's eyes flashed with meaning, "Do you know what it means?"

"What do you mean?"

“Just not wearing it.”
