under fern mountain

Shi Ran knew that the interns in the company were chasing him.Although he never made it clear, they were all suggestive expressions, but the purpose was also obvious.

No one would look at him like that, except him.

When I came to the company in the morning, there were hot millet porridge, buns, eggs, sausage, yogurt, and various snacks on the workstation.During the lunch break, Pei Haojie can always find all kinds of delicious restaurants nearby, and gradually induces Shi Ran to try them with him.When it's time to get off work at night, if Shi Ran doesn't leave, Pei Haojie can always find a reason to work overtime and stay with him in the company.Once Shi Ran worked overtime until one o'clock in the morning, and was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. When he turned off the lights before leaving, he found that Pei Haojie had fallen asleep lying on his desk.He stared blankly at Pei Haojie for a while, then went over to wake him up gently.

"Team leader, are you off work?" Pei Haojie said with a hoarse nasal voice that had just woken up, "I wanted to be afraid for a while, but I fell asleep right away, hahaha..."

Under Shi Ran's gaze, Pei Haojie laughed more and more guilty, feeling a little bad.Shi Ran changed the coat on his arm and stood in front of him without leaving.

"When does your internship end?"

"what?"

"You also said that you don't intend to stay in the company for a long time. You are still a student, so don't put yourself under so much pressure."

"What pressure can I have?" Pei Haojie stared at Shi Ran when she said this, "I am very happy every day."

Shi Ran looked away: "Yes, that's good, I'll go back first. Be careful on the way."

He originally wanted to open the conversation, so he couldn't leave the intern with ambiguous hopes.Unlike Pei Haojie, he is very tactful and not good at expressing himself. To be able to say this is already a strong hint.Pei Haojie is young, playful, still studying, and doesn't have much social experience. It's normal to want to try any new emotional experience. He is older than him, so he should be guided.

Sure enough, within a few days, Pei Haojie found that Shi Ran seemed to be avoiding him.If it's completely unkind, that's fine, but he skillfully maintained a safe and polite distance, which hit Pei Haojie who thought his hopes were getting bigger and bigger before.

He wasn't sure if he had done something wrong or said something wrong, after several times of probing, he was finally sure that Shi Ran should have understood his thoughts.

Now that he understands it, there is no need to hide it anymore, let alone there are no more paths for him to choose.He no longer served breakfast secretly, but bought breakfast for Shi Ran openly, went to eat with Shi Ran at noon, and asked him for advice at work. If he worked overtime, he would order milk tea and takeaway for him.

It didn't take long for Shi Ran to be unable to sit still under his offensive.

"Let's talk." One day when he was delivering breakfast, Shi Ran pulled him into the tea room.

They all came early, and there were not many people in the company.

"You don't want to continue."

"Continue what?"

"Breakfast, snacks, takeaway, and take me off work." Shi Ran tried to look serious.

"Do you not like it?"

"I don't like it." Shi Ran moved his eyes away again.

"Then why do you look at me so evasively? Why do you secretly read my Weibo?" Pei Haojie approached him, completely huddling Shi Ran in a corner, not giving him a chance to escape.

"You..." Shi Ran opened her eyes wide.

"How do I know? I follow you so much, why don't I know?" Pei Haojie smiled, "What do you like to eat, what time do you go to bed, I even read every post on Weibo hahaha, you kind I put the grassy things in the shopping cart. I dare not give them to you because I am afraid that you will reject me. "

Shi Ran couldn't retreat, and wanted to push him away, but Pei Haojie grabbed him.Before she had time to react, Pei Haojie lowered her head.

This face is very young, so young that there is almost no scheming, and the eyes are full of hot emotions and vigorous desires. Anyone who is stared at by such eyes will not doubt whether they are loved, because the answer is yes.Shi Ran was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out.Getting along day and night and accumulating bit by bit finally exploded at the moment.

"Team Leader Shi, your heart beats so fast." Pei Haojie squeezed his wrist tightly, getting closer and closer to him.

"This is in the company!" Shi Ran warned him.

"So that's all it takes to name the company?" Pei Haojie asked immediately.

"Go back to your station and work hard." Shi Ran broke away from his hand and walked out nervously.

"The last word." Pei Haojie grabbed his wrist, "I don't believe you have no feelings for me, otherwise you wouldn't spend Christmas with me, and you wouldn't have promised me so many personal and transgressive requests. Maybe You think I'm young, unreliable, just playing around... No, I'm serious about you."

Shi ran away in despair.

Ever since Pei Haojie made it clear, Shi Ran was a little confused. There were two voices shouting in his heart, one voice said that he was just a child, his life was unstable, and they were not suitable, and the other voice said that it had been a long time. I have met someone who makes my heart beat, so what if I try it, it's just a relationship.

Pei Haojie didn't give him too much time to hesitate.Before Shi Ran could figure out why, Pei Haojie fell ill in the second week after confessing his love.

It is said that he suffered from the wind and cold, and stayed up late to play games. The next day, he had a poor appetite and did not eat all day. In the afternoon, he had a fever of 39 degrees.

Other people are very calm when they are sick, but Pei Haojie is restless when he is sick.He just took a day off and didn't come to work, and Shi Ran's WeChat never stopped.

"Team Leader Shi, I feel so hot and I have no strength."

"I don't want to eat anything at noon, I'm too lazy to order takeaway."

"If you want to drink iced Coke, the supermarket downstairs won't deliver it."

"The courier asked me to go downstairs to pick up the item. I chatted with him for 10 minutes before he agreed to deliver it to the door."

"The weather is getting cloudy. It looks like it's going to rain here. I feel dizzy."

Shi Ran had a meeting, and his phone kept vibrating, so he had to mute it, and secretly replied to the message under the table.

"What's the temperature on the thermometer now? Have you taken your medicine?"

"Let me order some porridge for you, and let the takeaway be left at your door. You can't drink iced cola, boil some water or hot milk."

"If you feel dizzy, sleep for a while and don't keep looking at your phone."

I don't know if Pei Haojie really fell asleep. After Shi Ran sent the last message, he didn't reply.Usually he is lively and lively in the office, and he always pretends to pass by his desk casually, or meets him in the tea room inadvertently. Now... Shi Ran imagines that Pei Haojie is lying listlessly on the bed, unable to even work Concentrated.

In the afternoon, I took the time to call him, but this time Pei Haojie answered, her voice sounded weak, and it was easy to feel the sickness through the microphone.Shi Ran hadn't spoken a few words with him, and his heart felt like it was being pulled.Ask him if he has eaten the takeaway, and how many degrees it is now, and urge him to drink water... After saying these things, it becomes natural.

"Can the team leader come to see me at night?" Pei Haojie couldn't sound more pitiful.He said he felt uncomfortable, dizzy, and would faint when he got up to drink water.He was hungry and overwhelmed, and he had a fever that he said was about to die.Shi Ran said that he would leave early and take him to the hospital, but Pei Haojie was unwilling.

Knowing that he did it on purpose, knowing that he was exaggerating, knowing that his circle of friends is so popular, as long as he thinks about it, it is impossible for him to be alone when he is sick, Shi Ran's emotions are still overwhelming.I was absent-minded all afternoon, and my work efficiency was almost zero.In the end, he gave up resisting, closed the unfinished work, left early, and took a taxi directly to Pei Haojie's house.

He bought vegetables and fruits at the canteen downstairs, and when he carried them to the door, he found that the takeaway at noon was still at the door, and his heart sank.However, when he rang the doorbell, Pei Haojie opened the door very quickly, standing at the door and looking at Shi Ran with burning eyes.Shi Ran squeezed him into the room, kicked off his leather shoes, and tested the temperature of his forehead with the palm of his hand.Pei Haojie still looked at him with that gaze, Shi Ran felt as if he was going to burn too.

Everyone left their jobs and ran to the intern's house to take care of them.Shi Ran could no longer convince himself that it was only because the seniors cared for the newcomers.

Pei Haojie was obedient like a child, telling him to lie down, cover him with a quilt, apply a towel, take medicine, drink water...he took everything without saying a word.Shi Ran made her porridge with preserved egg and lean meat, and fried vegetables. Pei Haojie ate them all, and his appetite was so good that he didn't look like a patient.

Shi Ran took his temperature again before he went to bed, it was 37.8°, still a little low-grade fever.

He felt he had to go back.

If you stay any longer, the nature will be different.

Pei Haojie seemed to have the same idea, and seemed to be connected with him, when Shi Ran was about to withdraw, she grabbed his hand.

His hands were big, the palms were hot, his pulse was throbbing, his fingers climbed up like vines, and entangled Shi Ran's fingers.He was very slow, like probing and teasing, interlocking fingers with Shi Ran.

Shi Ran was like a caught rabbit, not daring to move.He lowered his eyes, hiding all the mixed emotions.

Pei Haojie's voice was full of laughter: "Group Leader Shi, Shi Ran."

Shi Ran's fingers twitched.He pronounced his name as if under a spell.

Pei Haojie stood up, and the wet towel fell from his forehead.He held Shi Ran's hand tightly, pulling him into him, and the breaths of the two gradually merged together.

The TV is muted, and the picture jumps silently.

He leaned down and kissed him.

Shi Ran's fingers tightened suddenly, and his palm was wet.He didn't push him away, accepting the hot, careful kiss.

That night, Shi Ran tossed and turned and didn't sleep well. He didn't feel a little drowsy until the sky was bright.The work was not completed, and there was no reason to ask for leave. He went to the company early in the morning with dark circles under his eyes.On the contrary, Pei Haojie seemed to have absorbed energy overnight, and appeared at the company the next day full of energy.He greeted everyone in the company with a smile, even talking more than usual, anyone could see that he was in a good mood.

Pei Haojie secretly held Shi Ran's hand under the desk, hugged him briefly in the tea room, fed him more frequently than usual, and even sat next to him after get off work and waited for him to get off work.He boldly and ostentatiously swears ownership and possessiveness, but he does it so tightly that others can't see the clues.

"You have a lot of work today!" Everyone in the office left, Pei Haojie peeled off a piece of brown sugar soft cake and stuffed it into Shi Ran's mouth.

"Because yesterday's work was not finished." Shi Ran said vaguely while biting a candy.

"Oh? Why didn't you finish it?"

Shi Ran glanced at Pei Haojie who knew the reason and asked, and smiled: "To take care of a certain person!"

The notebook was closed with a snap by Pei Haojie.

"To put it another way." His breath approached Shi Ran very slowly and ambiguously.

Shi Ran stared at Pei Haojie silently and for a long time.This time it was Pei Haojie who couldn't hold back his gaze, and it wasn't until he flinched that Shi Ran finally grabbed his neck and quickly kissed the corner of his mouth.

"To take care of my sick and coquettish boyfriend."
