Encounters - Chapter 3.1

Translator: Deyonna

Xi Yu left in the middle of the night, wearing a shirt that was already wrinkled, and the tie that he untied from Shen Zhi's wrist.

He originally planned to sleep here for one night, and even looked forward to Shen Zhi's reaction when he woke up the next morning. However, after reaching out, he touched the marriage certificate under Shen Zhi's pillow.

Putting the marriage certificate in such a private place, sleeping with it on your pillow every day where you can touch it as soon as you reach out, Xi Yu is not an idiot who doesn't understand anything. Even if no conclusions can be drawn from this, everything is definitely not as simple as he thought at first.

When Xi Yu was young, taking over the company had taken up most of his life and energy. Apart from socializing with people, he seldom went out for entertainment and even resisted gathering with friends. As the one who manages the company, he knows his responsibilities well, and he does a lot of work by himself, so he doesn't have the time to go out and have fun. He also hates the act of casually dragging someone into his bed. When he has free time, he would rather go home and rest and solve it himself when he needs it.

Xi Yu had dated several times in his college. It all starts with the pursuit of the other party and ends with the contradictions in the trivial matters of life.

Xi Yu looks good and usually gets along with everyone gently and thoughtfully, which can easily make people have a favorable impression. But those who have actually been in contact with him will find that he is actually a bit domineering, his personality is a bit sharp, and most importantly he only seems to be in love with you programmatically on the surface, but he never opens up himself like everyone else who's in love, and he never seems to really love you.

Xi Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

He put the marriage certificate back under the pillow and stared at the sleeping Shen Zhi through the light coming in from the window. He wanted to calmly and rationally analyze his thoughts, but he seemed a little confused. The cold treatment decided tonight has obviously failed, and they even have more intimate contact.

This is the first time that Xi Yu has encountered such a situation. In the past, when he was confronted with a direct or indirect love, he could calmly judge whether to detest or accept it, whether he should refuse politely or fall in love logically.

Now he can't figure it out. Originally, he was looking forward to Shen Zhi waking up the next morning, but now he doesn't even know how to confront him tomorrow morning. Although he's still somewhat looking forward to it. However, he's also vaguely at a loss. Therefore, he simply left.

When Shen Zhi woke up, he had a splitting headache. He rarely ever drank alcohol before, so he didn't know that his alcohol tolerance was so poor that he would collapse with one glass. He vaguely remembered asking the bartender to call Xi Yu for him last night, and Xi Yu later came to pick him up. The entire sequence of the scene was not clear and muddled in his head. He hadn't completely blackout, but he didn't remember anything too clearly. He couldn't tell which memories actually happened last night, and which were his own drunken imagination.

But whether it's true or not, in his memory they were lying together, hugging each other, falling asleep, which made his face a little hot now. And he was pestering him to give him his shirt, to tie his wrist, and suck his earlobe to sleep. The more Shen Zhi thought about it, the more shy he felt. Not sure if these are real or not. Shen Zhi hoped that all of those were real but also hoped that they were not.

If true, would he think I was troublesome and annoying last night? Will he be angry?

While thinking about it, Shen Zhi fell asleep again. When he woke up, he saw the text message that Xi Yu had just sent: Take the clothes to my company now.

Although he didn't know why he asked him to bring the clothes he said he didn't want, Shen Zhi felt very happy.

At least he shouldn't hate me.

As soon as Xi Yu arrived at the company in the morning, his assistant Xiao Zhang was taken aback. In broad daylight, he had discovered the boss at work had been planted a strawberry[1], and it was still in a blatant place like the earlobe. After thinking about it repeatedly, he still reminded Xi Yu tactfully, "President Xi, is your ear bitten by a bug?"

Xi Yu didn't pay attention when he went out in the morning. After he was reminded, he immediately thought of last night. He went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. The left earlobe was red and purple. With a glance, it was obvious that it was some kind of ambiguous mark.

He didn't cover it, and everyone's eyes who entered the office in the morning couldn't help but stay on it, trying to pretend that they didn't notice anything. Xi Yu didn't feel embarrassed at all and just kept thinking of Shen Zhi. When other people glanced at his ear, he would first remember Shen Zhi, then remember the undisguised dependence in his eyes when he lay beside him last night, his slender wrists, his wet, smooth and warm tongue, and his hand wrapping on him. The more he thinks about it, the more restless he becomes.

Xi Yu, who was on his way out in the afternoon, sat in the back seat, and when he looked up, he saw his ear in the rearview mirror. He stared at it for three seconds, picked up the phone and sent Shen Zhi a message.

He felt that he was so unreasonable. It was obvious that he was going out now, and he had to have a long-term negotiation, but he just wanted Shen Zhi to go to his place and wait for him immediately. After receiving an okay reply from Shen Zhi, he felt a lot more comfortable.
