desire to be loved

"Excuse me, is Luo Jie here? I have an appointment with him."

When Roy appeared in front of the counter, the counter lady's eyes lit up.

Purple striped shirt with jeans, [-] tall and thin physique, snow-white skin set off a beautiful and delicate face, brown mid-length hair, bangs hanging down on both ears, if it weren't for the obvious Adam's apple on the neck and flat chest, Definitely mistaken for a woman.

The first time she saw a handsome man who came out of a cartoon, she blushed like an apple, and stammered in response: "I...help, help you contact him." Pressed the intercom.

"thanks."

Roy gave the counter lady a charming smile, which made her overwhelmed with embarrassment.

During lunch yesterday, Luo Jie invited him to participate in the photography exhibition today, which put him in a good mood, so he dressed up specially.

Three minutes later, Luo Jie walked out of the elevator in the lobby. He was tall and straight in a suit. His 3-180cm physique immediately attracted the attention of others.

Although the two are brothers, their appearances and personalities are very different. Luo Jie gives people a direct impression of maturity, masculinity and straightforwardness, while Roy is feminine and calm, giving a neutral beauty.

Standing together, these two people will always exude the attraction of strength and beauty invisibly, attracting envious eyes from everyone.

Seeing Luo Jie, Roy had a smile on his face.

At this time, behind Luo Jie, there was an extra woman, with pretty short hair, dressed in a smart and capable OL, talking and laughing with him all the way, acting intimately like a couple.

Roy withdrew the smile on the corner of his mouth, and his mood suddenly became worried.

It should be just a colleague, right?He prayed in his heart not to repeat the scene four years ago: declaring in front of him that their relationship was different from ordinary colleagues.

His heart could no longer bear another blow and despair.

The undisguised sizing of the woman in front of him made Roy feel uncomfortable, and he turned his head to dodge.

"Jie, won't you introduce me?" She spoke first.

"My brother, Roy."

Luo Jie did not come to Roy, but stood beside her and introduced directly: "Liang Zhenxi, my colleague."

The phrase "colleague" relieved Roy of his uneasiness. "Hi, I'm Roy." He expressed his kindness.

Liang Zhenxi stared at him intently, then smiled coquettishly, and gave Luo Jie a hammer on the chest.

"Jie, you are so mean, why don't you introduce me to such a cute brother."

Seeing Zhenxi's happy look, Luo Jie warned her plainly: "Xiao Yi has been staying in the United States for the past few years, and he only came back last week. He is younger than you, so don't make plans with him."

Didn't this woman have a boyfriend, so why would she still flirt with a man younger than herself? He would be lazy if he was someone else, but the current prey was Roy, and he had to cut off her delusions immediately.

Roy watched them silently, hearing the woman call him "Jet." He felt very uncomfortable.

After getting along for a few days, he found that he wanted him more than four years ago. Although he decided to stay by his side as a younger brother, his heart was still entangled in the face of this situation.

Why didn't he want to give it a go and pursue it, but after that incident, his way of dealing with feelings became more negative.

"Everyone wants to meet handsome guys. If you want to fall in love, age doesn't matter."

Zhenxi's passionate eyes seemed to eat him, and Roy got pimples when he saw it, and frequently threw out signals to Luo Jie for help.

"Today's photography exhibition was organized by a friend of Zhenxi, and he gave her three invitation cards, so I invited you to come together." Luo Jie walked between the two and changed the subject.

Hearing what Luo Jie said, Roy felt that he seemed to be a superfluous person, so he was a little depressed.

"We have an appointment at three o'clock, let's go to the venue first!" Zhenxi glanced at her watch and reminded Luo Jie.

Afterwards, the three of them came to the parking lot together. Luo Jie quickly drove the car in front of them. Before Roy could react, he saw Liang Zhenxi sitting in the passenger seat.

Now he finally understood that her ulterior motives were not in drinking.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

The simple and bright exhibition hall has no partition design in the space of more than 100 square meters, and the moving line is formed naturally, without restricting the behavior of visitors.

The photos on the wall are decorations and the protagonists of today. The subject of the photography is the building, showing the rigid beauty of the building from various angles.

The number of visitors is limited and it is a private solo exhibition.

After entering the venue, Roy refused their invitation and wanted to appreciate it alone. On the one hand, he came with a learning attitude, and on the other hand, he didn't want to see their ambiguous behavior.

A photo in the corner caught his attention. The main character in the photo was a building with more than [-] floors. It was on the shore of the sea. The sun shone on the sea surface, creating a golden ripple. The scene on the sea surface was reflected on the glass of the building. At first glance, the wall looks like a golden dragon clinging to it.

"This building is very attractive!"

At this time, a human voice came from behind him.

Roy turned around and saw that the owner of the voice had long hair and was estimated to be about thirty years old from his eyes. He was dressed in black and had a unique style.

He smiled slightly, and then agreed with the other party's opinion: "It is very attractive, but this is also due to the person who captures this side of it."

Anyone can take pictures, but it is difficult to present the most perfect moment of an object on a flat photo.

"If you don't meet someone who knows how to appreciate it, it's just an ordinary architectural photo." The man walked up to Roy and stood side by side with him, shrugging.

Roy turned his eyes back to the photo, and said slowly: "The building materials used in general buildings always make the appearance of the building look cold, but after the designer's ingenious planning, the cold building can also show On the passionate side, the same is true for photography. Even if the subject is the same, the message to be conveyed in the photo will be different depending on the mood of the photographer and the photographer. It feels like a large vessel, and the surrounding natural scenery seems to exist only to highlight it.”

After listening to his opinion, the other party's eyes were full of smiles.

"You're such an interesting person. I'm Du Chen. It's a pleasure to talk to you." He first identified himself.

"Roy, I'm glad to meet you too." Roy reached out and responded to him.

Seeing Roy let go of his guard, Du Chen's topic will shift to him, "You seem to be very interested in architecture."

According to his observation, most people look at the exhibition in a casual way, but Roy stayed in front of each photo for more than 5 minutes.

"To be honest, I'm an architect myself."

Roy did not shy away from mentioning his work. He thought that since Du Chen had shown sincerity to himself, he should also be honest.

"I see." Du Chen cracked his lips and smiled.

At this time, a young man in reception clothes walked up to Du Chen and whispered in his ear.

Roy avoided knowingly.

After the young man left, Du Chen informed him: "I'm sorry, I have to excuse you now, and I'll chat with you later."

Roy responded with a smile.

Watching Du Chen leave, he suddenly felt that a figure from the back that passed by Du Chen was quite familiar, and he kept staring at that person, waiting for the owner of that figure to turn around.

But after a while, he dismissed that idea.

It should be impossible for Jill to appear here, probably because he is dazzled, after all, in his eyes, foreigners all look the same.

Roy moved forward along the movement line he arranged, but the owner of the back just now appeared in front of him and greeted him: "Roy."

"Jill! Why are you here?" Roy couldn't hide his surprise.

"Actually, I'm quite surprised to meet you here." Jill responded.

"You won't forget that I'm from Taiwan, right?" Roy raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.

Unlike the formal relationship between general bosses and employees, he and Jill talk easily like friends to friends.

Jill laughed off her own fault.

"I plan to expand into the Asian market this year. I just received an invitation from a Taiwanese construction company a few days ago, so I will come to Taiwan."

"Since it's in my territory, then hand over the case to me! I can better understand the needs and ideas of the builder." Roy said in a high-sounding manner, but in fact half of his proposal was out of selfishness.

He hoped to use work to distract him, until five days ago he used this method to numb himself, but now he can only do nothing to let that mood torment himself.

Jill refused straight away: "No! This case has been handed over to Sam, so you can make good use of this vacation to reunite with your family!"

Although Roy is missing from the work team, his other employees are not easy-going.

Hearing that Sam is in charge, Roy no longer fights for this case, no matter in terms of qualifications or ability, Sam is more suitable than himself to take on this heavy responsibility.

"So Sam should have come to Taiwan too, but why didn't I see him?"

Jill looked in the direction where the crowd gathered, and responded: "He is with Linda. Those two seem to be interested in the traditional Taiwanese architecture in the photo, and they are now pestering the reception staff."

Roy followed his gaze and quickly found the figures of the two men.

"I didn't expect even Linda to come. It seems that this case is not trivial." So Jill will stay in Taiwan for a while.

"But did you come by yourself? Would you like to share dinner with us later?" Jill casually invited him.

Roy shook his head, "No, I came with him...they." His eyes turned to a man and a woman in the distance, and the woman was naturally helping each other adjust their tie.

The way he looked at the man made Jill understand one thing: "He is the one you like."

Roy showed a wry smile.

After becoming friends with Jill, he once mentioned to him why he came to the United States. For Americans with open customs and customs, he does not despise himself with homosexuality, but has always supported him.

"It seems that he still doesn't know how you feel, don't you plan to confess to him?"

Roy stared at the photo in front of him, seemingly appreciating it seriously.

"Do you know Jill? There are some loves that can only be thought in the heart but cannot be expressed, and some feelings can only be given but not taken back. I have such a feeling for him." He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and moved His helplessness and sadness are all hidden under this mask.

Jill smiled playfully.

"It's a deep word, but to me it's just an excuse for the faint of heart."

Roy was not stimulated by his words at all. On the contrary, he agreed with his words, "I am very timid, because I don't have the courage to destroy the family relationship between us." This is the only thing he can stay in Roy. Jie side reason.

Jill was surprised and said: "So, don't you..."

"You're right, Luo Jie and I are brothers, but it's ridiculous to fall in love with my brother!" Roy responded to him first.

Receiving Roy's negative emotions, Jill approached him, hugged his shoulders, and whispered in his ear: "Since you haven't done anything, how can you judge the result, if you lack the courage to take that step, then Just let me help you!"

Roy was not disgusted by Jill's actions, but his words made him feel afraid.

"What does that mean? Are you going to tell him this?" He stared at Jill tensely.

Jill backed away, giving him room to breathe.

"Seeing that your face is pale with fright, spare me some time tomorrow night, accompany me to a place, and I'll tell you what I'm going to do." He threw a bait at Roy.

He knew that Luo Jie was observing them, and he did not ignore the subtle changes in Luo Jie's eyes when he approached Roy.

He would do this just to clarify whether Luo Jie's relationship with Roy is just an ordinary brotherhood, or whether there are other possible feelings.

"Okay." Roy agreed with one word.

Jill handed him the note with the hotel room number on it, "I'll contact you later, and now I'm going to rescue the reception staff."

As soon as Jill left, Luo Jie came to Roy's side.

"Who was that foreigner just now, do you know him?" He asked casually.

Roy shook his head and denied, "I don't know each other. We are just discussing works together." He thinks that Luo Jie probably didn't hear their conversation.

Staring into Roy's eyes, Luo Jie tried to find a flaw in it.

Roy looked back at him without fear, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you see Sister Zhenxi?"

"Hee Jin with her friends"

As soon as Luo Jie finished speaking, Zhen Xi appeared in front of them.

"Jie, my friend said that he will invite us to dinner later." Her eyes only stayed on Luo Jie.

"Xiao Yi, do you want to go together?" Luo Jie asked Roy beside him.

"Okay." Roy happily agreed.

Maybe he will see more painful scenes later, but he thinks he can bear it, because compared with those scenes, he can't bear to let Luo Jie and this woman be alone in a closed space.
