Shen Boyan wanted to get angry, but because Xia Shu'an was still sick, he finally suppressed it, and at most gave Xia Shu'an a cold look to let Xia Shu'an feel it.

How should I put it, it looks quite pitiful.

Xia Shu'an thought it was funny, but didn't dare to laugh. She watched Shen Boyan enter the study with an unhappy expression on his face, and he didn't turn off the lights until late at night.

Because Xia Shuan was still ill, they slept separately, Xia Shuan slept in the master bedroom, Shen Boyan slept in the second bedroom, and after closing the door, Shen Boyan was about to fall asleep, when suddenly there was a steady knock on the door.

He took a few steps forward, and outside the door, Xia Shu'an's pale face was revealed as expected. He had slept enough today, so he was still very energetic at night, but his background was still sick.

Shen Boyan looked at Xia Shu'an, and watched him slowly, slowly, take out a storybook from behind.

Shen Boyan:?

Xia Shu'an looked up at him: "Shen Boyan, can you tell me a story?"

Shen Boyan laughed angrily.

"Xia Shu'an, how old are you?"

"It doesn't matter how old you are, I want to hear stories, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

"My mother used to tell me stories when I was sick."

Xia Shu'an thought: There is no such thing.

He raised his face and looked at him earnestly: "Are you okay?"

Although Shen Boyan has not agreed yet, the expression on his face has already begun to waver.

Xia Shu'an went one step further: "I really need you."

"I beg."

Perhaps because of his nervousness, there was a tinge of blush on his face, and his fair skin glowed with luster under the warm light at night, making him look extraordinarily charming.Bewildered by the beauty, Shen Boyan nodded involuntarily.

"Great."

Xia Shuan stepped into the room one step at a time, climbed onto the bed very consciously, covered her body with a small blanket, and looked at Shen Boyan with full eyes.Shen Boyan held the storybook and spoke with difficulty.

Although this is a story book, it is not a fairy tale book about a princess or a prince, but a story about a certain adventurer who goes on adventures around the world. It was once a bestseller.

Shen Boyan unfolded the pages of the book and started reading from a certain chapter. Xia Shuan was lying on his chest, her soft hair exuding a faint scent of shampoo, rubbing against his chest gently.

Shen Boyan felt weird at first, but as the atmosphere gradually calmed down as he read, his heart suddenly calmed down. That feeling was like a traveler who had been on a journey for many days and finally returned home, or like a sailor setting foot on the road. After reaching the shore, the children who came back at dusk saw the smoke rising from the house.

And the youthful breath in his arms gradually stabilized.

"Xia Shuan, Xia Shuan."

After two soft calls, the young man did not respond.Shen Boyan put him on the pillow and was about to get out of bed when suddenly——

"Shen Boyan."

When he looked back suddenly, the young man closed his eyes and frowned slightly, as if displeased.

He murmured:

"Shen Boyan, don't, don't smoke."

Shen Boyan: "..."

He got off the bed lightly, and his figure quickly disappeared behind the door of the room.

......

......

When Xia Shu'an woke up the next day, he realized that he had changed the bed. He recalled what happened last night.

He just wanted to give it a try yesterday, but he didn't expect it to succeed.Therefore, Shen Boyan really likes others to act like a baby, no wonder "in the past" he always forced himself to act like a baby to him, it turned out that he had this habit.

After washing up and going downstairs, Shen Boyan was already having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Xia Shuan coming down, he just raised his eyes.

The two didn't say a word about what happened last night, as if it was just a dream.

Seeing that breakfast was coming to an end, Xia Shu'an said, "I have to go to work from Wednesday, and the time off I asked for before is up."

Shen Boyan raised his eyes to look at him: "Go to work, you don't need to deliberately report to me, and I won't imprison you."

Remember what you said.

After tidying up, Shen Boyan was ready to go out. Xia Shuan had already waited at the door. When Shen Boyan stepped out of the house, Xia Shuan opened his arms and hugged him vigorously.

"Be careful on the road and come back early."

The scent that belonged exclusively to Xia Shu'an immediately filled Shen Boyan's nose, and Shen Boyan seemed a little drunk. He arrived at the company in a very happy mood, and the vaguely scented scent did not dissipate until he entered the company door.

It happened that Sheng Songbai passed by with a few documents. When he saw Shen Boyan, he smiled and greeted him familiarly:

"Morning, Boyan. By the way, when will I call Xiao Xia over, and I'll treat him to dinner."

Shen Boyan remembered Xia Shuan's curiosity about him last night, his smile faded, and his tone was polite and distant: "He has a bad appetite recently, and he is not used to eating outside, let's talk about it another day."

"Uh, good."

Sheng Songbai looked at Shen Boyan's back and couldn't figure out why Shen Boyan's attitude towards him suddenly changed until he returned to the office.

……

Xia Shuan rested for two days, and finally went to work on Wednesday.

He was in poor health, Xia's father and mother didn't want him to do heavy work, and Xia's father had sponsored the school, so Xia Shu'an stayed in the school's research room, and became a legendary person who walked through the back door.

But he has always been mild-tempered and doesn't make enemies with others.He doesn't talk about how hard he works, but he has never neglected to mess up anything. In addition, he never participates in internal disputes and does not grab other people's reputation, so everyone treats him very kindly.

The people in the research office only knew a rough idea about the Xia family's affairs, and when they saw him come back, they thought they had already dealt with it.

"Xiao Xia, you are finally back." The teacher patted him on the shoulder in relief.

This teacher is a friend of Xia's father, and he takes good care of him at school. This time Xia Shu'an asked for leave due to an accident in Xia's family, and he also helped out.

"Yes, teacher, I'm back."

"Go in, go in, you seniors miss you."

As he said, Xia Shuan was surrounded by several seniors just as soon as she entered the laboratory, and everyone rubbed her hands together.

Xia Shuan, a senior student who is a Ph.D. student, hugged him and shouted: "Xia Xia, my Xia Xia, you are finally back, you don't know, without you, the scenery of this laboratory will be lost by half, and I am exhausted every day." It's too hard for the dog queen to have no soul to comfort me..."

Because of Xia Shuan's good looks, she even has the honorary title of "Laboratory Room Flower". As for why it is "Room Flower" instead of "Room Grass", Xia Shuan doesn't know and dare not ask.

Another senior shouted, "Are you saying I'm not handsome enough to comfort your soul?"

The senior sister turned around: "How about a little self-knowledge?"

"..."

Looking at the noisy laboratory, the familiar atmosphere as always made Xia Shu'an feel relieved.A man walking in with a folder in his arms, his eyes lit up suddenly after seeing the situation inside the room.

"Shu An, you're back."

Xia Shu'an said calmly, "Well, I'm back."

This senior's name is Chang Jun, who is only one year older than Xia Shu'an. They knew each other before entering the laboratory, so he also takes good care of Xia Shu'an.Xia Shu'an walked to his desk and helped him tidy up the table.

Chang Jun sized him up, and finally said, "I lost weight."

"Is it?"

Xia Shu'an himself didn't pay attention. In fact, he felt that it was no small achievement for him to be able to maintain this body shape under Shen Boyan's tossing.

"Now that I'm back, I can make up for it."

"Okay, I miss the canteen food too."

"I invite you to have a meal at noon."

"A meal in the cafeteria is ready to send me away?"

"All right, you choose a place..."

The two were talking and laughing, the familiar atmosphere and the free air made Xia Shu'an feel extremely happy.It takes one to two years or even longer to study a project. Xia Shuan left for a month, but the progress of the project did not deviate too much from the progress when he left. The first day he came back was to grasp the latest data. Soon, he will reintegrate into work.

Time passed by, and at noon, a group of people walked to the cafeteria together.

There are four canteens in the school. They went to the one closest to the laboratory. The canteen has two floors. The first floor mainly serves meals, and the second floor serves various snacks. Xia Shuan ordered light noodles on the second floor. Because the peak period was staggered, there were not many people in the cafeteria.

Xia Shu'an ate less and finished eating the fastest. Everyone got used to it. After he put down his chopsticks, he sat quietly on the stool and waited for others. Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated and made a buzzing sound.Chang Jun on the other side took a look at it. Before he could see the name on it clearly, Xia Shu'an had already picked up the phone, said sorry, and got up and walked to the aisle outside the cafeteria.

This call was naturally made by Shen Boyan. This kind of behavior was within Shen Boyan's normal control operation. "In the past" Xia Shuan had to report to Shen Boyan whenever he went out. It would be even more troublesome if he had dinner with friends.

But no matter what, this is a manifestation of Shen Boyan's hegemony and power politics. Xia Shu'an should have hated it, but after what happened last night, he somehow felt like his boyfriend was checking the post. Thinking about it, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Xia Shu'an picked up the phone while feeling funny in her heart: Xia Shu'an, as expected of you, you have top-notch self-regulation ability.

As soon as the phone was attached to his ear, a deep male voice pierced through the eardrums and reached Xia Shu'an's brain.

"Still in school?"

For two or three seconds, Xia Shuan's heart beat 1.2 times faster. He put his hand on his chest and looked out through the glass window in the corridor:

"Yes."

"have you eaten?"

"Just ate."

"Dining with colleagues?"

"Well, the school cafeteria is a bit greasy and not very tasty."

Xia Shu'an was just reporting, but this kind of words similar to complaining to her boyfriend made Shen Boyan very useful. He let out a chuckle from his throat, and when he spoke again, his tone suddenly became intimate:

"Hey, bear with me, there will be something delicious tonight."

"Better."

It seems that the topic should end here, but Shen Boyan has no intention of hanging up the phone. Xia Shuan is naturally unwilling to embarrass others. After thinking about it, he took the initiative to open another topic:

"What about you? Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"It's also a cafeteria?"

"Yeah, just like you."

There was a smile in the man's tone, Xia Shuan thought for a while, and said a little unhappy: "Then your canteen food must be better than mine."

A deep laugh suddenly came from the small receiver.

At this time, Chang Jun and the others came out of the cafeteria, and several of them walked towards the stairs. Chang Jun walked a few steps towards Xia Shu'an and said, "Xiao Xia, I'm back."

Shen Boyan suddenly heard a man's voice, the smile on his face faded, and the strange man on the other side of the phone said again: "You are chatting with a friend?"

"Well, boyfriend."

The smile on Chang Jun's face froze suddenly, but the man who was a thousand meters away returned to the smile after hearing this sentence.

After Xia Shu'an finished speaking, she quickly said to the phone: "Stop talking, hang up first."

There are not many people under the shade trees outside the cafeteria, and there are people playing basketball in the playground not far away, and youth is swaying wantonly under the sun.

Xia Shu'an caught up with the senior in a few steps, he straightened his words and said, "Is it too sudden?"

Both of them knew what he was talking about, Chang Jun smiled briefly: "No... just a little bit."

"My boyfriend, he is more... sensitive." Xia Shu'an explained this matter as tactfully as possible:

"So I need to appease him and let him not worry too much."

Chang Jun nodded again and again: "Understood, understood."

He changed his mind and added, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Xia Shu'an laughed out loud, looked at Chang Jun, and said softly, "I'm not worried about this, I believe in the character of the senior."

Under a row of magnolia trees, Xia Shu'an had a faint smile on his face, and his black pupils were illuminated by the sun, overflowing with light.

His skin was white, like transparent white porcelain under the pure golden sunlight in the afternoon, even the fine hairs around his ears were completely visible, and his whole body exuded a warm smell.

Facing such a gentle and handsome person, Chang Jun should feel comfortable and warm, but his chest hurts inexplicably.

"Chang Jun." Suddenly someone called his name over there.

Xia Shu'an turned her head and saw a girl standing under the opposite tree: "Senior, that's your girlfriend, right?"

Chang Jun quickly realized, responded, and said, "Yes."

Xia Shu'an waved to the senior and said, "Then you go, I'll go back to the laboratory first."

Chang Jun responded briefly, and after seeing Xia Shu'an turned to go in another direction, he slowly walked towards the opposite path.

The girl's face was full of joy just now, but now her face has sunk.

"That's Xia Shu'an, he's back?"

Chang Jun frowned and said, "Don't use such a tone."

The girl screamed, "What tone am I talking about?!"

"..."

Xia Shu'an was unaware of their quarrel, and he quickly returned to the laboratory.In the other office, Shen Boyan closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the desktop. After a while, he called Assistant Qi in.
