Dead but not stiff

After the flower delivery incident, Shen Bai began to be entangled in both work and personal matters. As soon as the horn of the all-out offensive was sounded, the flags died down.

Gu Xi'en didn't care much about this point, anyway, every night when he went back, Shen Bai would still spare no effort to attack him with earthy insults, during the day he was busy with work, and all the tasks and plans in the initial stage of the project were in full swing , in contrast to the two, it is actually more clear during the day.

On the other hand, it was quite miserable for Shen Bai. The last time he drove Wu Jiaying back with him, his parents immediately felt that there was a joke. Unexpectedly, Shen Bai told his parents that night that he had no idea about Wu Jiaying.Shen's father let him go in a rage, Shen's mother cried and wiped her tears and scolded Shen Bai for being unfilial, Shen Bai stayed all night to comfort his mother, and only calmed down the old lady's emotions by talking out loud.When he left early the next morning, he was speechless by Shen's father's words.

"You said you don't like that girl from the Wu family, okay, we won't force you. Then you bring one back yourself. You don't have the ability to find it yourself, and you won't let us get it for you. Do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life? You make it so After a hundred years, your mother and I will be at ease."

On the other hand, Shen Bai was still inquiring about Gu Xien's family background and interpersonal relationship in private. He asked someone to ask Gu Xien's colleagues at the C City Architectural Design Institute, but he learned that Gu Xien was alone in C City with no relatives and no reason. The house was also bought after saving down payment for several years after working.

Shen Bai was a little shocked, because Gu Xien looked like a pampered and indifferent young man, and he couldn't see that there was such a hard-working and hard-working person behind him.

In addition to being shocked, a trace of pain oozes faintly from the apex of my heart.People are such strange creatures. Once two people who have never met each other have a certain connection, they can't help but start to worry about each other, not only the future, but even the past that they have never participated in.

On Friday, Shen Bai went on a business trip temporarily. The return ticket booked by his assistant was originally on the weekend, but he declined the client's suggestion to invite him to go bowling together on Saturday, and directly changed the night flight. Non-stop rush to the airport.

"Boss Shen is in such a hurry, those who don't know may think that he is hiding in a golden house."

Hearing someone tease like this, Shen Bai was very pleased: Isn't it just the golden house?

When he got home, it was almost past twelve o'clock at night. He thought that Gu Xien must have fallen asleep, and he was ready to run to the bedroom to take a peek while he was asleep.

As a result, the door of the house was opened, and the room was brightly lit. Gu Xien was wearing home clothes, which was rare, and was lying on the sofa with a pillow in his arms, watching Internet TV.

"I'm back." Gu Xi'en glanced at the entrance, said lightly, then turned his gaze back to the TV, and continued to concentrate on watching the variety show.

Feeling slightly left out, Shen Bai touched his nose and coughed twice, as if he was covering up some unfinished guilty plan.

"Why haven't you slept so late today?" Shen Bai changed his slippers, walked to the sofa and sat down next to Gu Xien, the smell of being infested by a group of old smokers and alcoholics at the dinner, after more than three hours of flying and driving Toss, but still not scattered clean.

Gu Xien frowned displeasedly, and moved his body to the side.

"Retire tomorrow." He still spoke lightly, staring intently at the TV screen in front of him.

"Does it look good, so concentrated." Shen Bai continued to tease cheekily, and he has always been patient enough to treat Gu Xien.

"so so."

Shen Bai followed Gu Xien's gaze and looked at the TV, then laughed and said: "Oh, isn't this the kid Zhong Li likes? What's his name? Not to mention, he really looks a bit like you .Let me see, the eyes and nose are a bit similar, but his mouth is not as good-looking as yours, and his chin is a bit wider."

He didn't notice that when Gu Xien heard his words, his body trembled slightly, his mouth opened, but he didn't say a word in the end.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the only sound left in the room was the din of voices produced by the variety show and the cheerful sound of background special effects music.

After a while, I heard Gu Xien say slowly: "Go and change your coat."

Shen Bai looked away from the TV, watching Gu Xien's washed and blown hair fluffy, and finally couldn't help touching it with his hands.

"Obey, Master Gu."

Shen Bai also changed into his home clothes after a while, and walked over with his slippers on. Gu Xien had already turned off the TV, and looked up at him: "Aren't you taking a shower?"

Shen Bai rubbed his stomach, "I drank all the alcohol at the dinner, I'm a little hungry right now, I'm going to cook some noodles, do you want it?"

Gu Xi'en shook his head, looking uninterested, but suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Do you know how to cook noodles?"

"Instant noodles, throw in the noodles and seasonings at once, and it's fine when it's cooked."

Gu Xi'en nodded, then took out the computer and turned it on, Shen Bai walked towards the cooking counter and asked, "Don't you watch TV?"

Gu Xien hummed lightly, and Shen Bai continued: "That's right, I'm not as good-looking as you."

Gu Xien didn't bother to talk to him anymore, Shen Bai was used to it long ago, he hummed an out-of-tune tune to himself, opened the cupboard to take out the pot, then turned on the fire and added water to cook the noodles, a set of movements went smoothly, perfectly showing the appearance of a bachelor who has lived for ten thousand years everyday survival skills.

"You really don't want to eat?" Shen Bai looked back at Gu Xi'en and asked again.

Gu Xian bowed his head and typed on the keyboard, without looking at him, he just shook his head.

"What did you have for dinner?" Shen Bai turned around and asked him while slowly stirring the pot with chopsticks.

"Eat whatever you want."

"Eat whatever you want, what are you eating?"

Gu Xien was silent for a few seconds, Shen Bai accurately caught his pause, narrowed his eyes and turned to look at him.

"You didn't have dinner, did you?"

Gu Xi'en replied with no expression on his face: "I have eaten."

"What to eat?"

Gu Xien finally became impatient, "Are you annoyed?"

Shen Bai turned off the fire with a snap, took out a bowl from the cupboard, filled it with noodles, brought it to the dining table and put it down.

Then he walked up to Gu Xien, reached out and pulled the computer out of his arms, put it on the sofa, and said to him: "Don't be too busy, go and eat the noodles first."

Gu Xian shook his head: "No appetite."

Shen Bai was surprised: "Why do you lose your appetite?"

Gu Xi'en didn't speak, Shen Bai directly grabbed him, "People are like iron and steel, you don't feel hungry, your stomach is already starving for food."

Gu Xien's hand was held by him at the moment, the palm was facing him, so Shen Bai saw several scabbed wounds on it at a glance.

"What's going on?" Shen Bai asked anxiously.

Gu Xien struggled a little, but Chen Bai still held his hand tightly, "You did it yourself? Gu Xien, you are not a child anymore, why don't you just quarrel, why are you so angry and self-mutilated?" .”

Shen Bai thought that it was pinched out by Gu Xi'en when the two of them quarreled two days ago.

With a little effort, Gu Xi'en broke away from Shen Bai's hand, and replied flatly: "It's not because of that."

Shen Baiqi asked: "Which reason is that?"

Gu Xien was silent, Shen Bai waited for a while, then suddenly reached out and pressed his shoulder, pressed him on the back of the sofa, looked into his eyes and said, "Did something happen in the elevator that day? Actually, I had already watched It came out that you were not in the right mood, and that girl Zhong Li deliberately concealed her acting skills too exaggeratedly. I originally thought that you didn't want to say it, and I didn't want to force you. After all, I said I was chasing you, but in fact, I am now I still don't understand life at all. But I didn't expect you to harm yourself, so I had to break the casserole and ask the end. Gu Xien, what's the matter? Tell me, I will help you, and I want to help you too. "

However, Gu Xien suddenly let go of his strength, avoiding Shen Bai's gaze, and said slowly: "Can I not answer?"

Shen Bai paused for a few seconds, and finally said: "Okay, but the price is that you have to pay a kiss, how about it?"

Gu Xien turned to look at him again, without speaking.

Shen Bai: "Huh?"

Gu Xien reached out to grab the back of Shen Bai's head, pulled him closer, then raised his head and kissed him.

Such a sudden kiss was led by Gu Xien at the beginning, but gradually, the situation changed, Shen Bai stretched out his hand to hold the back of Gu Xien's neck, lifted him from the sofa, and pulled him closer to his arms .At the same time, the other hand began to dishonestly reach in from the hem of the loose jacket on the other side, stroking Gu Xien's smooth back.

Until Shen Bai's hand started to go down the waistline, Gu Xien pushed him away suddenly, his chest rose and fell slightly due to the kiss just now, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

"Enough," he said.

Shen Bai stared at him with scorching eyes, his voice was hoarse and low, hiding some kind of dangerous signal: "You recruited me first, but you didn't take responsibility for solving the problem when it got angry?"

Gu Xian: "Can't I surrender?"

Shen Bai: "You're also a man, don't you know it's troublesome to stop at such a time?"

Gu Xian smiled, "I thought Boss Shen was different from those animals that only think with their lower body."

Shen Bai gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Gong is really eloquent."

Gu Xien blinked lightly, "Mr. Shen is over the top."

With Gu Xien completely helpless, Shen Bai turned over and fell on the sofa in frustration. Gu Xien sat up straight, straightened his shirt calmly and gracefully, and glanced at Shen Bai by the way: "Don't you need to go to the bathroom to solve it?"

Shen Bai pouted his neck and fought back: "No need, I can bear it!"

Gu Xi'en said with a smile, "Boss Shen is so calm."

Shen Bai put on an expression of losing power and humiliating the country, heartbroken, and made a poisonous oath: "Gu Xi'en, just wait! When I can't help but do it for you sooner or later, I will get back my principal and interest!"

Gu Xi'en didn't continue to play tricks on him, but he did not forget to remind: "Then hurry up and eat noodles, it's time to eat in a while."

Shen Bai suddenly sat up from the sofa, strode towards the bathroom with big strides, and said as he walked, "Don't eat, take a shower and sleep."

Gu Xien raised his eyebrows when he heard the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom in the next second, closed the computer and went to the bedroom.

For the first time in his life, Shen Bai, who took a bath for more than half an hour, with wet hair on his head, pushed open the bedroom door, leaned half his body in, and said to the person inside: "Gu Xi'en, let me discuss something with you." thing."

Gu Xien was leaning on the bed with his mobile phone in his arms to play match [-] games, when he heard that he put down his mobile phone, amidst a series of crackling sound effects, he asked lightly, "What?"

Shen Bai: "Can I apply not to sleep on the sofa?"

Gu Xi'en is as good as others: "Then I'll change it with you."

Shen Bai immediately became anxious: "Look at you, did I say anything? What kind of temper are you playing?"

Gu Xien: "..." What the hell did I say again.

Shen Bai found a step by himself: "What I mean is, why don't we buy another bed. Anyway, my study is big enough, I'll sleep in the study."

Gu Xien shrugged: "Sure, I have no objection, it's your home anyway."

Shen Bai has an opinion: "What are you talking about, what's mine is yours."

Gu Xien decided not to speak, so Shen Bai continued to talk about the topic, "Then let's go to the furniture store to pick a bed tomorrow."

"Can't I buy it online?"

"You can buy it online, but tomorrow is the weekend, so let's go out together." Shen Bai changed the subject here, and asked cautiously, "Are you busy tomorrow?"

"Well," Gu Xien said, "Acquainted with friends for dinner."

Shen Bai was surprised: "Aren't you from City C?"

Gu Xien said lightly: "Then you can't have friends from S City?"

While talking about being able to be able, Shen Bai added a sentence in his heart: Not only can you have friends in S city, you can also have a boyfriend in S city.

"Where is the date for dinner? Do you want me to take you there?" Shen Bai looked at him eagerly, like a big dog waiting for its master to throw a Frisbee.

Gu Xien: "Aren't you going to the furniture store to buy a bed?"

Shen Bai: "..."

Shen Bai, who was going to buy a bed in the furniture city, strongly demanded to drive Gu Xien to the appointment the next day under the banner of "If you have a car at home, don't waste social resources to take a taxi".

"Are you free? I don't have any friends in your business or in private, invite you to play ball, drink and discuss projects, ride horses, gamble and soak in hot springs?" Gu Xien was very puzzled why Shen Bai, an executive of a listed company, would have that American Time acts as a free driver on weekend mornings, and he is afraid that the next moment the other party will suddenly turn on the phone and start taking orders by Didi.

Of course, Shen Bai wouldn't be so free. In the past, the weekends were basically full of various public and private affairs, but this time, in order to spend the first beautiful weekend with Gu Xien since we met, he asked his assistant to push He dropped the official invitation, and as for the personal invitation, he has already blocked the wechat and mobile phones of a group of cronies with Jiang Yingyue as the core for three days.

The place where Gu Xien's friend invited him to eat was a holy place for weekend entertainment and leisure that some young people in this city would choose, so the direct impact was that the traffic flow near the destination began to be blocked.

"Can you and your friend discuss changing the place?" Shen Bai glanced at the long queue of convoys ahead, and suggested aloud: "For example, it's not very far from here, but there's absolutely no traffic jam when you drive there. Red Star Macalline .”

"I'll make a call and ask." Unexpectedly, Gu Xien accepted his suggestion, took out his mobile phone and started making calls.

Shen Bai's hand that wanted to stop him stopped halfway, watching Gu Xien nervously and annoyedly call his friend's phone, and said Shen Bai's suggestion intact.

"He didn't agree." Gu Xien hung up the phone and put down the phone. While speaking, he turned his head to look at Shen Bai. The innocence and incomprehension in his eyes made Shen Bai's desire for protection burst instantly, and he almost wanted to grab the phone and call directly to question him. Why did the other party disagree.

"It's okay, it's okay, I guess there will be no traffic jam in a while." Shen Bai repeatedly comforted, "It's really not possible, let's park the car by the side of the road, and I will ride you there on a shared bicycle."

Gu Xian: "..."

Shen Bai patted his chest: "I'm very good at cycling, so it's no problem to drive you."

"However, shared bicycles do not have a back seat."

Shen Bai got stuck, laughed dryly, and quickly changed the subject: "I'll see your friend later, how are you going to introduce me to others?"

Gu Xien was surprised: "Are you going too?"

Shen Bai was straightforward: "I gave up the beautiful weekend of playing ball, drinking, talking about projects, riding horses, gambling, and soaking in hot springs. I volunteered to be your driver, but didn't I even give you a meal?"

Gu Xi'en was too lazy to tangle with him, and he really didn't mind Shen Bai being with him, so he asked, "How do you want to introduce?"

Shen Bai cautiously probed: "Boyfriend?"

Gu Xien glanced at him, and he immediately jumped up from his seat, "Hey, how else do you want to introduce? You can't even have a boyfriend, so you can only settle for the next best thing and call me husband."

Shen Bai, who worked his life out and finally broke out from the weekend traffic jam, followed Gu Xien to the private room of the restaurant that he had agreed to. The friend seemed to have arrived early, and Shen Bai saw from a distance that the other party was a man of the same age as the two of them. The young man's eyes suddenly became alert.

Crowded in the weekend traffic jam, but also to meet, and even to have dinner in a private room, could it be the legendary ex-boyfriend?

"One or two of you are stuck on the road. If you don't come, I will starve to death." The friend stood up and complained to Gu Xien with a smile.

Gu Xien retorted: "Then I say you are not willing to change places."

"Then no matter what, you can't go to the Furniture City for a dinner appointment. You can say such a thoughtless suggestion."

The heartless Shen Bai felt that it was time for him to brush up on his sense of presence, he coughed lightly, and stretched out his hand to greet the friend in front of him gracefully: "Hello, it's the first time we meet, my name is Shen Bai."

"Oh hello." The other party was obviously not used to such an overly formal way of greeting, and he was taken aback for a moment before reaching out to shake his hand, "My name is Huang Yiwen, and I am Gu Xien's college classmate and best friend."

"Oh." Shen Bai gave Gu Xien a meaningful look, but Huang Yiwen continued: "Hey, you guys sit down first, and the food will be served when my boyfriend arrives."

Shen Bai: "???"

Huang Yiwen greeted the two of them to sit down first, and at the same time moved to Gu Xien's side, and asked in a low voice, "What's the relationship between you two?"

Gu Xien glanced at Chen Bai next to him, and saw that the other party was picking up the teapot and pouring tea, with a look of calmness, but with his toes, he could tell that this person was scratching his head and waiting for Gu Xien's answer.

"Friend." Gu Xien replied lightly.

Shen Bai's hand that was pouring the tea paused, and he shook the few drops of tea that leaked out, and spilled all on the table.

"Oh." Hearing such an ordinary answer, Huang Yiwen responded flatly, but after hearing a loud sound, Shen Bai put the teapot back on the table, looking at Gu Xien's face, I was very hurt and hesitated to speak.

Gu Xien sighed, and could only continue to say to Huang Yiwen, "Boyfriend."
