Under meals

In fact, before coming to country U, Tao Mingzhuo had already made up his mind not to be awkward anymore.

He doesn't want to use "meal exchange" as a bargaining chip to exchange for the intimacy that he should have with Jingci, and he doesn't want to use "want to eat mashed potato steak" as an excuse to come to U country to find Jingci. She wanted to tell Jing Ci personally that she really missed him.

But what he didn't expect was that in the paint shop that day, he would hear Jing Ci's heart-wrenching confession to himself without any precaution.

Compared with Tao Mingzhuo's clumsy and sincere words when he confessed, Jing Ci's expression is much smoother. It sounds like they are all gentle and delicate sentences, but the lethality of each sentence Both are big and have great stamina.

When Tao Mingzhuo came over slowly, he felt that his whole bones were brittle.

Now in his dreams, he is reminiscing over and over again what Jingci said to himself in the paint shop. As long as he recalls the long paragraph of "I like it very much" that Jingci said to himself, he will be so happy that he needs to jump out of bed Next, frantically pacing back and forth in the hotel room to relieve the throbbing in his chest.

As for the tender time in the hotel later, Tao Mingzhuo felt like he was living in a dream.

Even after returning to China, life returned to the right track, Tao Mingzhuo would quietly stare at Jing Ci's face for a long time when he woke up every day.

Tao Mingzhuo felt happy and proud when he thought that such a good person belonged to him.

While Jing Ci was still awake, he would secretly leave some marks on his body that belonged only to him, and then pretended to be sleepy and called Jing Ci to wake up, and questioned himself when Jing Ci stood in front of the mirror While showing a very innocent and bewildered expression.

During the morning break on weekdays, several people from their art team got together to chat.

Xu Yi said: "I heard rumors that our company is going to open a branch in country U, and it is estimated that it will be almost done by the end of this year."

Tao Mingzhuo had actually heard a lot of related news from Jing Ci a while ago, but at this moment he chose to play dumb and just listened to their chat with a water glass.

Yang Keying said: "That's right, and our big boss is back, I saw him downstairs in the company today, probably because he is busy with the branch."

Xu Yi nodded: "Yes, I heard that Mr. Li and Mr. Jing were acquainted with each other before. Although they are more than ten years apart, they have a very good relationship. They talk about everything. I heard that Mr. Jing When the president was studying at U Country University, the person who attended his graduation ceremony was President Li."

Tao Mingzhuo: "...?"

Yang Keying realized something, she looked at Tao Mingzhuo nervously, and asked: "...Really, why does it sound so unreliable?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "I don't know if it's true or not, I just heard what they said."

Tao Mingzhuo knew that the big boss of the company was Li Yupo, but he had never met him at all, and only had a few glimpses from a distance before.

The situation like Jing Ci is actually a very small number of cases. In fact, top-level people like Li Yupo basically have no chance to meet with R&D employees like them.

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw Jing Ci and Li Yupo appear at the other end of the elevator, followed by the secretary and assistant.

Li Yupo was talking and laughing with Jing Ci.

Both of them were wearing suits. Li Yupo was imposing and Jing Ci was gentle and elegant. Standing side by side, they were very conspicuous in the crowd.

However, in the next second, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Yupo hooked Jing Ci's shoulder directly, lowered his head, and whispered something in his ear with a smile.

The little girls beside Tao Mingzhuo let out a "huh" and started whispering.

Yang Keying's expression was tense, and he glanced at Tao Mingzhuo's face uneasily.

Tao Mingzhuo didn't speak.

Seeing Jing Ci's helpless expression, Tao Mingzhuo said something while pushing Li Yupo's arm away with a smile.

Although he pushed away Li Yupo's arm, Jing Ci seemed to have crooked smiling eyes, and there was no discomfort in his expression. Therefore, the interaction between him and Li Yupo seemed to be just plain old in the eyes of others. It's like flirting.

Tao Mingzhuo felt very uncomfortable.

He took a deep breath and stared straight at them as they got into the elevator together. When he lowered his head, he found that Tao Xue had sent him a message a few minutes ago.

Tao Xue said that Li Lan had ordered too many crabs a while ago and couldn't finish them all, so she wanted to hold a family gathering tonight and ask Tao Mingzhuo and Jing Ci to come and kill them together.

Tao Mingzhuo is a famous food processor, so he replied: "No problem."

Tao Xue said: "Sister Li sent a message to Jingci, but it seems that she hasn't replied. Please help convey it. I heard that Xiaoci's brother is here tonight."

Tao Mingzhuo was stunned for a moment before recalling that Jing Ci had told himself before that he had a half-brother.

It is also thanks to the indirect assist of this elder brother on his last birthday, otherwise Tao Mingzhuo might have to spend a long time to realize his intentions.

Through the gifts and cakes at that time, Tao Mingzhuo could feel the deep brotherhood between them. He decided that when he met today, he must show well in front of each other, and let Jing Ci's brother know that he can take Jing Ci together. Well looked after.

Tao Mingzhuo replied: "It's okay, I'll go and talk to him."

Li Yupo walked back and forth in Jing Ci's office, and asked sadly, "Where's the big peony painting with flowers and wealth that I hung on the wall before?"

Jing Ci said: "Put it in the warehouse."

Li Yupo looked left and right: "What about my goldfish? Where's my lucky bamboo? Where's the golden toad cornucopia I put on the table before?"

Jing Ci was quiet for a moment, and said tactfully: "...I think there may be some differences in our aesthetics."

"...?" Li Yupo pointed to the oil painting of Hamburg on the wall, "Are you talking about aesthetics with me?"

Jing Ci ignored him.

The more Li Yupo watched, the more heartbroken he became, and finally decided not to watch it anymore. After a while, he sighed and said, "Shall we go out for dinner together at noon?"

Jing Ci was slightly taken aback, pointed at the computer screen, and shook her head: "I have to deal with these first."

Knowing that Jing Ci is the kind of person who doesn't have any sense of time when he is busy, Li Yupo patted him on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Alright, I'll come back to you later."

When Li Yupo came out of Jing Ci's office, he found someone standing at the door.

He didn't think much about it, he just replied to the message on his mobile phone, and asked casually: "Are you looking for Boss Jing? He's busy now, so it's okay to report to me first if you have anything to do."

"No," Li Yupo heard the man say, "Boss Jing is looking for me."

Li Yupo raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and raised his eyes.

Only this time did he see clearly that standing in front of him were young men with a height of 1.9 meters.

He has broad shoulders and long legs, handsome eyebrows and deep eyes, and a generous and sunny temperament. It has to be said that his external conditions are very superior, and he has the kind of appearance that is very popular with young girls.

It's just the look in his eyes...it seems a little unfriendly.

Li Yupo was very curious: "What can he do with you?"

The young man raised his chin slightly, and replied in a loud voice: "It's nothing special, it's just that we both eat together at noon every day, it's a habit between us."

Li Yupo blinked thoughtfully, and realized who he was almost instantly.

There is no sentence that states "I am Jing Ci's boyfriend", but both inside and outside the words imply "I have an unusual relationship with Jing Ci".

It can be seen that this young man's mind should be extremely pure, because the hostility on his face is not concealed at all, and the sour taste in his words is almost spreading throughout the corridor.

Li Yupo held back his smile, he suddenly felt that things became interesting.

Tao Mingzhuo heard Li Yupo ask: "Do you have lunch together every day?"

With this question, Tao Mingzhuo's room for exertion instantly increased, and he coughed: "Yeah, it's not just lunch."

"For example, tonight we will have dinner together, hairy crabs bought by his mother." He said nonchalantly, "It's not just the two of us, but also our family, my sister and Jing Ci's brother..."

Tao Mingzhuo didn't realize that the more he said the more sour his words became, he only knew that he felt indescribably bored when he saw Li Yupo and Jing Ci staying together.

When talking with Li Yupo, Tao Mingzhuo didn't even feel that the other party was his big boss, because he positioned himself as "Jingci's lover" at this moment, so Li Yupo is now in Tao Mingzhuo's eyes It's just a "weird man with evil intentions".

Tao Mingzhuo stood at the door and eavesdropped for a while. At the beginning, he felt very uncomfortable when he saw Li Yupo touching Jing Ci. Later, when he heard Li Yupo ask Jing Ci, "Would you like to have dinner together?" The fire could no longer be restrained to rise upwards.

Tao Mingzhuo felt that he could barely endure other things, but the matter of eating was the only bond between him and Jingci.

The purpose of Tao Mingzhuo's words is to tell Li Yupo that it's not that Jingci doesn't want to eat, but that she doesn't want to eat with you.

Tao Mingzhuo felt that he was almost stunned, and immediately said "ah" pretending to be regretful: "Sorry, I seem to have said too much on my own..."

A few seconds later, he heard Li Yupo say thoughtfully: "It's okay."

The next second, Li Yupo hissed again in surprise, and said, "But I remember when my mother sent me a message just now, saying that what I'm going to eat tonight seems to be king crab?"
