The five male protagonists must be my good brothers

When Shi Xu walked out the door, the rain that was about to fall in the sky had already fallen completely, forming a blue rain curtain, ticking on the eaves.

The rain was not small, and there was a constant flow of vehicles in front of the door.

Shi Xu was suddenly glad that he bought two umbrellas, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help turning his suspicious eyes to the side.

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the wooden floor is clear, and it is particularly eye-catching in the quiet store. When Shi Xu looked up, he saw Xie Ran's handsome face looking over him.

He held the phone loosely between his fingers, and the screen was on, as if someone was replying to a message. He didn't look at it, but looked at Shi Xu very seriously.

There is an indistinct emotion in his eyes, complex but not aggressive, unlike any side Xie Ran that Shi Xu knows.

Shi Xu didn't continue to explore, just smiled at him politely, followed his gaze, skipped the small water droplets splashing on the steps, and looked at the two umbrellas in his hands.

To be precise, it is a quaint and generous dark green umbrella, and a small flower umbrella with a white rabbit and green grass printed on it as a gift.

Shi Xu was dumbfounded, as if he understood something in an instant, but he was a little uncertain.

Xie Ran still looked at him without blinking, seeing his calm and indifferent appearance, I don't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed a little wronged.

Like the grievance of a child who didn't get his favorite candy.

Shi Xu was stunned, because of his sudden strange thought, and the strange instinct of wanting to stretch out his fingers involuntarily to touch his head.

In the end, he saw the boss's sharp, cold, and extremely aggressive eyebrows and eyes, and he woke up instantly.

He coughed lightly to cover up his thoughts, thought for a while, walked over, and asked carefully, "Mr. Xie, do you need an umbrella? It's raining outside."

There were only the two of them standing at the door, and the pedestrians on the road seemed in a hurry because of the heavy rain.

Xie Ran actually wanted to be reserved, Shi Xu didn't remember him, he didn't want to give Shi Xu any bad and abrupt impression, but he didn't restrain himself and answered a little quickly.

"Ah."

After he finished speaking, he remained silent, pursing his lips, like some kind of ferocious but tamed beast with soft fur on his body.

Shi Xu had such thoughts inexplicably, and a smile appeared in his eyes involuntarily. He handed over the umbrella in his hand, smiled, and said softly: "Here."

He handed over the umbrella that was more suitable without hesitation, leaving behind the small flower umbrella that didn't fit his body shape, Xie Ran was stunned for a moment, but didn't take it, a trace of annoyance flashed quickly in his cold eyes.

"It's not this." After a long time, Shi Xu had a puzzled look in his eyes, he pursed his lips, and lightly pushed the umbrella back, with a refusal expression on his face.

Shi Xu raised another cartoon umbrella in his hand in doubt.

The umbrella handle is very short, and through the traces of folding, you can see the fresh flowers and plants in it. Whether it is temperament or body shape, it obviously does not match the appearance of the person in front of you.

It seems a bit of a joke for the superior to make such an unreasonable request.

But Shi Xu inexplicably felt that this was not the case. He tentatively handed over the small umbrella, and found that the other party's eyes were serious, and he did not refuse, but was really ready to reach out to take it.

Suddenly, Shi Xu seemed to catch some idea in his mind.

The little flower umbrella was still in mid-air and didn't hit the ground. He paused and asked first, "Mr. Xie, do you need me to take you back?" He said, holding up the dark green umbrella handle in his hand.

An umbrella bought according to the body shape of an adult, even if it is shared by two people, is more suitable than a children's umbrella.

Xie Ran didn't refuse this time, his eyes lowered a little, and he answered quickly: "Okay." The hand that took the little flower umbrella lowered at the same time, it seemed that he didn't really want it.

It seems that just because he doesn't want to take away the umbrella that belongs to him, he forcefully says that he wants a children's umbrella.

Shi Xu tilted his head in thought, couldn't help but curved his lips to smile, and was a little curious. Seeing the calm side, his expression was as cold as ever, but it broke his original perception of Xie Ran a little bit.

"Mr. Xie, come here." Opening the umbrella, Shi Xu walked down the steps, the raindrops fell on the umbrella surface, making a crisp sound, he waved his hand, motioning for Xie Ran to come to his side.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he fell into the empty store, frowned slightly, and said softly: "The boss is not here, Mr. Xie, are you in a hurry, do you want to..." Wait for a while until someone comes back.

Before the words were finished, a graceful figure flashed out from behind the door, with a handsome appearance and a smile that couldn't be seen: "A guest is here."

When he walked over, Shi Xu saw that this was the little boss who showed him the way in the morning, and the little boss also saw him, with a surprised expression on his face: "It's you!"

As he said that, seeing Xie Ran again, his round eyes widened even more: "Do you know each other, are you ready to go, it's raining so heavily, do you need..." Umbrella?

Before he could finish speaking, seeing the two of them holding the same umbrella, he swallowed the words again, and just said, "Then I won't see you off."

After seeing off the people, when the rain curtain completely covered them, the little boss suddenly became excited, shouting at Grandpa while typing on his mobile phone.

After a while, the old gentleman came out. He poked his head and asked, "Grandpa, did you really recognize the wrong person this morning? Could it be the legendary Brother Shixu? He is back, so why is he ignoring us? "

The old man looked at him inexplicably, and his memory was a bit confused, but he still remembered Shi Xu, and said with a smile: "Yes, Xu Xu, I always came to play with Aran when I was in No. [-] Middle School."

The little boss clapped his hands: "I understand!"

His men were typing faster.

[Brother Xie Ran, I did a good job just now, spend money quickly! 】

Xie Ran's car was parked on the other side of the mall, and Yu Zhou sat inside and waited.

In some relatively private times, he has always been a part-time driver. In fact, Xie Ran didn't let him stay today, but when Yu Zhou remembered the boss's restless appearance, he always felt that something was wrong.

Then came Mr. Xie, who was holding an umbrella, his eyebrows drooping in the rain, and his breath was unusually soft.

When he got closer to Yu Zhou, he saw that this soft breath was not because of the good weather today, nor because of any contract negotiated, but because of the people Xie Ran was protecting under the umbrella.

The tall and slender young man, most of his body was covered under the umbrella, even if he got close, he could only see the smooth chin.

Xie Ran protected him, and didn't notice that half of his shoulder was soaked, like protecting some precious and fragile treasure.

Yu Zhou was startled, and even crawled and crawled down to open the door, when he saw Mr. Xie in the rain cast a casual look over him, and fixed his action of opening the door in place.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Yu Zhou gradually saw something.

The door he was going to open after getting out of the car was actually closer to the two people walking over, but Xie Ran ignored it, and led the people around before coming over.

There is no special advantage in doing this, except that it can cover half of the wet shoulder and prevent people under the umbrella from seeing it.

At this time, Shi Xu looked at the opened car door in front of him, and the people beside him waiting to get up, and couldn't help being a little confused.

Originally, I was just planning to lend an umbrella and leave after sending people to their destination. Halfway through, the person next to me seemed to feel uncomfortable and took the handle of the umbrella.

Then it developed inexplicably into what it is today.

"Mr. Xie." Shi Xu blinked, glanced at the blue sky outside the umbrella, thought for a while, and said warmly to the people beside him, "It's here, I should go."

The young man raised his head, because of the dim light, a gentle expression appeared in his amber pupils, Xie Ran looked down at him, pursed his lips, and did not say a word.

He is not very good at facing this kind of situation, this kind of time is extremely strange to him.

In the past, Shi Xu always told him what Ah Ran was doing, but now Shi Xu doesn't know anything, so he should say these things instead.

But he could only push the car door a little wider, looked at Humanity without blinking and said, "I'll take you back too."

It's just that saying this can't make the relationship between the two of them any better at all, it's more like a reciprocal politeness, Xie Ran's eyes flashed annoyance.

But it was precisely because of his politeness that Shi Xu didn't think too much about it, nor did he refuse his invitation.

He sat in, and Yu Zhou looked out of the corner of his eye. When he saw Shi Xu, he was paralyzed with fright.

People who haven't experienced it don't know how complex Xie Ran's senses are towards Shi Xu, but he knows, so what's the situation now, because they shared an umbrella with Shi Xu, and the two reconciled?

This awesome time and unstable boss.

Yu Zhou touched the steering wheel, and his usually rational mind couldn't help becoming curious. He looked behind without any trace, and saw that Shi Xu's shoulder was also wet, so he knew it in his heart.

No wonder, it turned out that the degree of change in the narrative hit the bottom line of the boss.

Secretary Yu's driving experience was no worse than that of a professional driver, and the car drove smoothly on the wet road due to rain.

The atmosphere in the car was quiet, because he was not familiar with it, and because his current achievements had not reached the point where the boss would turn his back on him, Shi Xu didn't say anything hastily, he just smiled and politely put the umbrella beside him.

It is the normal state of mind that ordinary employees should have.

Xie Ran looked at him, and lightly moved his fingers on his knees, wanting to speak to him.

He thought for a while, looking for the right wording: "Where are you going?"

He had a completely puzzled voice. Secretary Yu in the front row heard it and didn't bring it up in one breath.

But then he thought that although Shixu's dormitory was assigned by the boss himself, he never paid attention to the previous Shixu unless the other party did something out of the ordinary.

It seems reasonable to not remember where you live.

Secretary Yu has good professionalism, even though he has gossiped several times in his heart, he never showed any emotion on his face.

Shi Xu didn't notice his abnormality, but just told the address of the community to the people beside him, and seeing Xie Ran tilting his head to listen carefully, for some reason, he couldn't help but smile.

His laughter was very soft, but in the extremely quiet space, both the front and back could hear it.

Yu Zhou felt weird, always felt that the latter Shi Xu was different from the one he knew before, but his face and voice were exactly the same, which made people puzzled.

Xie Ran silently softened his expression.

The car drove steadily through the rain curtain until it reached the downstairs of Shixu's dormitory.

The vegetation in the community is rich and dense, and it is still green in winter. The leaves and bushes are moistened and cleared by the rain, and the air has the unique civil freshness after the soil is wet.

Xie Ran wanted to take the umbrella and send Shi Xu down, but Shi Xu shook his head to stop him: "It's raining too much, Mr. Xie, go back quickly, thank you today."

His voice is gentle and clear, like rain falling from the sky. He smiled when he spoke, without the politeness and sense of distance at the beginning. Xie Ran could tell that there was a slight tick on his lips.

He didn't move anymore, but looked in the direction of Shi Xu, his eyes were dark, as if he had a lot to say, and finally he just said: "If you have anything, you can come to me."

His eyes were clear and gentle, almost diluting the sharpness brought by his appearance, and there was no trace of bad or evil in them.

Shi Xu could see that although he didn't know why the boss treated him very preferentially, the other party's overly clear eyes would not make people think too much, so he just smiled: "Okay, I understand, thank you."

He walked in with an umbrella, waved goodbye to Xie Ran, and the waiting car left as if it had come.

Suddenly there were only two people left in the space. Because Yu Zhou wanted to reassess Shi Xu based on Xie Ran's attitude, he thought for a moment and asked, "Boss, apart from the contract, will you also take care of other aspects in the future?"

He was talking about Shi Xu, in the past, Xie Ran didn't care much about him except for not allowing Shi Xu to touch things that shouldn't be touched indiscriminately.

Then Secretary Yu heard a cold voice behind him, but instead of answering his question, he asked, "Is the company involved in Shixu's recent work?"

Participating in investment, you can have a greater voice, and you can make the people in it get the best treatment.

I don't know if it is an illusion, although it is a familiar voice, cold and monotonous, but when talking about the time, there is always a little bit of special treatment indulged in it.

Surprised by his own thoughts, Yu Zhou was stunned for a moment. The secretary's good qualities made him quickly react, and replied: "Not yet, do you need it?"

Xie Ran's eyes drooped slightly, revealing an undetectable softness: "Need."

Yu Zhou felt different now, his fingers on the steering wheel were stiff, and after a while, he slowly realized, and confirmed in a low voice: "Is it going to be a little faster?"

Will it be abrupt? After all, counting today, the relationship with Shixu has only eased for a day, so will you throw resources at him without hesitation?

Xie Ran didn't speak anymore, he didn't know what to think of, his expression was a little cold, and he turned his head to look at the blurred scenery after being washed by the rain outside the window.

Unhappy.

No one knows how long he waited for Shixu, guarding the stolen skin, watching Shixu, who should have the best future, bright as the sun, step by step towards another completely different life.

But he couldn't save it.

He doesn't think about anything now, he just wants the time to be bright again.
