After I was kicked out by the benefactor

When Zhong Wentian had gone far away, Xu Shuming came back to his senses and quickly raised his heels.Zhong Wentian's back was tall and tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. When he put on a suit, he had an indescribable demeanor. He seemed to realize that Xu Shuming was not behind him, so he paused slightly and looked back at him.

Xu Shuming was one step behind him, followed closely behind him, seeing his urging eyes, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhong."

Zhong Wentian looked at him in surprise, then smiled, and said: "It seems that he took my words to heart."

Xu Shuming thought to himself, when did he not take his words to heart, he said: "Next time I will practice more with the mirror."

Zhong Wentian laughed twice, as if Xu Shuming had told a very funny joke, he took a step back, walked side by side with Xu Shuming, looked at Xu Shuming while walking, and pretended to be serious: "Well, that's not necessary, you laugh now It's very beautiful. It didn't work just now, just now I saw that you didn't want to answer me directly, it was too perfunctory. Maybe I didn't realize that when you smile from the bottom of your heart, your eyes will also narrow your eyes."

Yeah.Xu Shuming really didn't expect that Zhong Wentian would notice such a small expression of his own.Probably seeing the expression on Xu Shuming's face, Zhong Wentian looked at him proudly, then looked forward and said, "Next time you want to lie to me, you have to use a little cleverer method, you know?"

Xu Shuming's heart trembled, he suddenly raised his head to look at Zhong Wentian's side face, Zhong Wentian's tone of words was very calm, Xu Shuming couldn't tell whether he was chatting with him or warning him.

"Then I will work harder next time." After a long time, when Zhong Wentian looked over suspiciously, he said slowly.

At this time, they had already gone downstairs and met other assistants who were going to join them downstairs.When there were too many people, there were very few opportunities for Xu Shuming and Zhong Wentian to talk privately. It wasn't until Zhong Wentian got on the plane that Zhong Wentian asked him not to participate in the meeting, but to help Bai Yue on the sidelines. Chance.

Helping Bai Yue is not easier than working independently. After all, Bai Yue is the chief assistant, taking care of all matters big and small, but Xu Shuming's identity is different. The boss has said to let him take a break. How dare he He really treated him like a subordinate, casually handed over a light job, and invited Xu Shuming to a quieter place to rest.

And when he did this, his immediate boss, Zhong Wentian, turned a blind eye, as if he didn't see it, and let people fish for fish in a grandiose way, which shows how correct he did it.

On the contrary, Xu Shuming was a little panicked. Ever since he was officially promoted by Zhong Wentian's side as a special assistant, he had never had such a leisurely time.

Zhong Wentian's private plane was more comfortable than a normal business class. He put the documents to be processed in front of him, put on the earphones and listened to music, leaned back on the seat, and soon fell asleep.

"Assistant Xu, Assistant Xu?" An annoying voice buzzed in his ears, and Xu Shuming suddenly opened his eyes from his half-dream and half-sleep.

As soon as Bai Yue saw him waking up from the seat with his head tilted, he immediately retracted his hands and said with a smile, "Assistant Xu, we've arrived."

Xu Shuming looked at him while rubbing his temples, looking out from the window, it turned out to be a private airport.He said: "Okay, I know, sorry, fell asleep."

As he spoke, he was about to get up from his seat.As soon as he moved, the clothes covering him slipped off his body, Xu Shuming lowered his head in surprise and grabbed the clothes.

This blazer...

Bai Yue saw his doubts, and immediately enthusiastically explained his doubts: "Mr. Zhong said, Assistant Xu doesn't need to go to the dinner party, go to the hotel to rest first, recharge your energy, and then accompany you tomorrow."

Facing Bai Yue's straightforward eyes, Xu Shuming didn't want to explain anything. There was really no need for Bai Yue, so he smiled slightly, ignored the countless questions on his face, got up and put his clothes in his arms and took him off the plane.He got off the plane, didn't see Zhong Wentian and his party, and asked Bai Yue beside him, "Where is Mr. Zhong?"

"The people who received the reception over there were well-informed. As soon as they heard Mr. Zhong had landed, they sent people over early and took Mr. Zhong to the racetrack."

Xu Shuming was even more surprised: "Mr. Bai can't ride a horse?" Why did he leave you behind.

Bai Yue was already ready, and said: "Boss Zhong specially ordered me to send you to the hotel first."

The subliminal meaning of these words was beyond words. Xu Shuming couldn't ignore it face to face, so he simply said: "I'm really sorry for Mr. Bai's help, and I am very grateful to Mr. Zhong for his sympathy for me."

Bai Yue smiled knowingly, and said with emotion: "Assistant Xu is Assistant Xu, it's really quiet, if it wasn't for Mr. Zhong...ah, haha, I don't know at all!"

When Xu Shuming heard this, he stopped immediately and turned to look at Bai Yue.His expression was extraordinarily serious, and he said to Bai Yue with a solemn expression:

"Boss Bai, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Boss Bai wants to say what's wrong with Boss Zhong?"

Bai Yue has a psychological barrier to Xu Shuming now, seeing Xu Shuming's face like this, he thought to himself, is it wrong to show affection again?

He gave a dry laugh and said, "Assistant Xu, don't be so serious. Of course Mr. Zhong is fine. He is very 'sympathetic' to those of us who are subordinates, and everyone knows it!"

Xu Shuming's dark eyes stared at him right and wrong, which made people feel extra pressured, only to hear his voice firmly said:

"As assistants, we all work for Mr. Zhong in the final analysis. We do what he says. How can I say anything? Mr. Bai, don't speculate about the deep meaning behind Mr. Zhong's behavior. If you guess By the way, there is still room for a step back, if one day I guess wrong? Then—”

Xu Shuming didn't finish the last sentence, but the meaning was already obvious, Bai Yue immediately said: "I understand, I understand, Assistant Xu made a slip of the tongue, let's go, let's go! I'll take you to the hotel right away, you have a good rest, Don't take my words to heart!"

Xu Shuming glanced at him, seeing that he didn't even dare to look at him, so he nodded silently, and then boarded the special car all the way without saying a word.

When he arrived at the hotel, Xu Shuming didn't rest immediately. He sat on the sofa by the window and looked at his mobile phone for a long time. After confirming what he wanted to know, he took off his clothes and went to bed for a while.

He is indeed a little tired. It would be a lie to say that he is not tired. When he first arrived in the United States, he didn’t even have time for jet lag. Until now, he still can’t sleep at night and needs sleeping pills to barely fall asleep.

It's a bad habit, but if he's forced to sleep without sleeping pills, it's going to be hard for him to stay focused and work the next day.

Because Zhong Wentian was no longer by his side this time, he slept very comfortably, and when he woke up, it was already afternoon and dusk.The hotel they chose is located by a lake. The scenery at dusk is very beautiful. The magnificent sunset slowly sinks into the water, and the gray-white wild birds fly past the calm lake. In the place is DC's unique cherry blossom tree, with fluffy white petals falling like snow from the top of the tree. Such a peaceful and beautiful picture made Xu Shuming feel unreal for a moment.

Wearing casual clothes and a knitted jacket, he walked slowly outside and sat on a bench on the lawn.

The setting sun has only a ray of unreconciled fiery red reflection, the sky presents a chaotic thick black and purple blue clouds, the breeze blows from afar with the unique breath of spring, and gently brushes the hair on the forehead, Like the delicate fingers of a child.

"Does it look familiar?" A male voice suddenly came from beside his ear, Xu Shuming turned his face suddenly, and Zhong Wentian sat on the other side of the chair, looking at him with a visible smile on his face.

It is now close to night, the street lights have not been turned on, and people's faces are only a little blurred in the dark, but Zhong Wentian's eyes are bright and his smile is beautiful, so Xu Shuming can't help but travel through time and space, back to their early days in Europe The time we met.

Xu Shuming looked at him seriously for a while, then nodded with a smile, looked away, looked into the distance and said, "It's the town you took me to. I don't know how you found it, but it's really beautiful. I have never seen such a clear lake and such a magnificent sunset."

Zhong Wentian didn't look into the distance with him, but looked at Xu Shuming's beautiful side face in the misty night without blinking.

In fact, Zhong Wentian had seen Xu Shuming a long time ago, but Xu Shuming was so focused on looking at the scenery in front of him that he didn't realize that he had also become the scenery in the eyes of others.

He sat beside Xu Shuming for a long time, until he couldn't stand Xu Shuming's neglect, so he couldn't help disturbing him.

"Do you still want to go and have a look again?" Zhong Wentian asked softly.

Xu Shuming opened his eyes slightly, and he looked back at Zhong Wentian. At this time, the street lights had been turned on, and the faint light shone on Zhong Wentian's face. Only Zhong Wentian's eyes that were staring at him closely could be seen. , There is a scorching light that people can't understand.

In those eyes, Xu Shuming could even see his own reflection clearly, which made Xu Shuming a little startled, he didn't understand why Zhong Wentian suddenly mentioned this, but he never said that he wanted to go back to that time before.

Didn't Xu Shuming have a hard time at that time?

Rent fees, transportation expenses, living expenses, insurance premiums, even asking someone to introduce a job, but also extracting a lot of commission from his meager salary.

Of course, Zhong Wentian has never experienced all this, and what he remembers are those romantic times.

But for Xu Shuming, apart from being romantic during that time, it was more about planning carefully for the future.

It wasn't until Xu Shuming realized that Zhong Wentian's romance could be converted into cash, and Zhong Wentian had originally planned it that way, that he gradually jumped out of the torment.

Zhong Wentian saw that Xu Shuming was in a daze, his long eyelashes were half down, and he looked at him very deeply, as if there were thousands of words hidden in his eyes.He stared at those eyes for a few seconds, then leaned over uncontrollably, wanting to kiss them.

However, when his body moved, Xu Shuming recovered from his contemplation and stepped back in time.

"Mr. Zhong, I'm sorry."

After he finished speaking, he immediately stood up from his seat. The DC temperature dropped significantly when the sun set. He gathered his coat and said to Zhong Wentian:

"It's getting cold, Mr. Zhong, let's go back to the hotel."

Zhong Wentian grabbed his wrist, looked up at him, and said in a calm tone, "Shuming, I can wait for you, but don't resist so much, okay?"
