“No problem.” Xiao Si looked out the window as he walked on and said sentimentally, “Another year has passed by just like that. You’ve found a girlfriend, while I’m still single.”

“That’s alright! Ask you mom to arrange a blind date for you.” Nian Junting glanced at him.

“No way.” Xiao Si shook his head vehemently. “Oh yeah, I heard Ji Chuan tell me… that… Shuangwei will be returning this year…”

Nian Junting stopped in his tracks. “Ji Chuan didn’t tell me.”

“He must have been worried that you’d feel uncomfortable, especially with what went down between you and Shuangwei. She feels the same way, too. She’s hardly been back the past couple of years.” Xiao Si sighed. “I haven’t seen her in ages and hung out with everyone. None of them know about your new girlfriend yet.”

“This is all history.” Nian Junting frowned. “I don’t wish to talk about it again.”

Xiao Si sighed. He knew better than anyone that a happy family had been shattered because of what happened. The two of them parted ways at the elevator lobby. Nian Junting walked towards the CEO’s office, and he overheard two secretaries talking on his way in.

“It’s Christmas Eve in two days’ time. How are you spending it?”

“With my boyfriend, of course. We’ll have to eat an apple for good blessings for the rest of the year.”

“Shouldn’t he get you something else?”

“He probably will. We’ll see,” she said as she caught Nian Junting standing in front of her and jumped.

“Mr. Nian, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to chit chat during office hours.”

“It’s alright. Who doesn’t talk during work time? How boring would it be if you stayed quiet the whole day?” Nian Junting continued, “You have to gift something on Christmas Eve?”

“Yeah.”

Nian Junting grinned and appeared to be excited. “What are some gift ideas for a man?”

The two secretaries were shocked. For a man? Mr. Nian was going to gift another man something on Christmas Eve? So, the rumors about Mr. Nian and the vice president were true. They really did have something going on between the two of them. Oh god, what were the two of them thinking? They were both so handsome and perfect, why did they have to be gay?

“Things like… gloves, belts, or wallets, I guess?”

“Oh.” Nian Junting nodded meaningfully and walked into his office.

The two of them looked at each other and hugged each other tightly. So many girls in the company would be devastated when they found out.

…

In the office, Nian Junting pondered the subject by himself before calling Luo Sang.

“What? I’m studying in the library,” Luo Sang whispered.

“Have you gotten me a gift for Christmas Eve yet?” Nian Junting cut to the chase.

“…Not yet.” What on earth? She should have been the one asking that question. Luo Sang was frustrated.

“Great, listen, don’t get me gloves. Winters here aren’t that cold at all. I don’t need them, neither do I need belts or a new wallet.” Nian Junting chuckled. “Give me something different.”

“…”

“Why aren’t you speaking?”

Luo Sang inhaled a sharp breath and said, “Can I ask you to give me something for Christmas Eve?”

“Of course?”

“Get me a whip.” Luo Sang wanted to whip some sense into him. So much for being a man. Not only was he asking for a present from her, he was listing all sorts of requirements.

“A whip?” Nian Junting was shocked. “Are you into BDSM? I don’t think that’s a good idea. We haven’t even done it for real yet, what if you can’t handle it? I’m happy to try it out, but I just don’t want you to be uncomfortable.”

“Who’s talking about that?” Luo Sang was angry. “Alright, don’t get me anything then, goodbye.”

“Don’t be embarrassed. What’s so difficult about admitting to your fetishes?” Nian Junting smiled.
