At noon that day, the two had just returned from a horse riding farm in the suburbs of Wancheng.

The hour hand was almost pointing to twelve o'clock, so I didn't choose much, so I directly chose a seafood restaurant.

"Crabs are the best in this season. You didn't think you were too tired from eating a while ago, so order some in water today to clear your stomach."

Fang Yongxin yelled more than a dozen times in one breath, handed the menu back to the waiter, and waited for others to leave, seeing Guan Yishen's absent-minded look, and frowned.

"What's wrong? You don't talk when you're in the car, are you feeling unwell?"

Guan Yi rubbed his nose deeply, how dare he tell him that he moved too much when he got on the horse, and accidentally stretched his tendons, which hurts until now.

In order to maintain my dignity, I had to say obliquely: "That place is not interesting, it's tiring and troublesome, I don't like it."

Fang Yongxin pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "Okay, if you don't like it, you won't go in the future."

Guan Yishen expressed his satisfaction. Now he has less and less psychological burden on making requests. Anyway, the answers he gets are always "yes", "ok" and "yes".

Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder how much patience the man in front of him had, as if he couldn't exhaust it.

The speed of this restaurant is very fast. After waiting for [-] minutes, all kinds of fish, shrimp, scallops, oysters and clams were cooked and delivered to the table.

Guan Yishen has eaten a lot of dishes with Fang Yongxin these days, but his eyes fell on a plate of hairy crabs placed in the center, and he still had trouble.

He held the chopsticks in his hand for a long time without moving, and scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I haven't eaten crabs for more than ten years, do you believe me?"

"It should be when I was in elementary school. When my mother just got divorced, the family conditions were still good and the food was good."

"My mother will steam it for me occasionally, but I am clumsy and impatient, so I just know how to do it. She always says that I ruined something good."

"Why don't you just eat a crab? You use a spoon and scissors. How can you be so particular about it?"

Fang Yongxin listened to him babbling for a long time, suddenly realized "oh", looked over with a light smile, and summed up brilliantly: "You don't know how to eat crabs."

Guan Yishen stopped his mouth immediately, held back for a long time, and then nodded reluctantly, admitting this embarrassing fact.

"You won't, and me, let's eat other dishes first, and I'll help you pick out the crab meat."

Fang Yongxin still showed a caring attitude willing to accommodate him, not only talking, but also acting neatly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved the whole plate of hairy crabs in front of him, picked up the eight pieces of crabs provided by the restaurant, and began to tear apart the crab shells without distraction.

"Aren't you so busy making it for me that you don't want to eat it yourself?"

"I'm not that interested in eating crabs, I'm more interested in..." He paused slightly as he spoke, cast ambiguous eyes over him, and turned slightly on him.

Guan Yi suddenly felt hot in his ears, coughed twice and lowered his head, this person always has the ability to make others blush and heartbeat.

Fang Yongxin smiled again, with a hint of pampering, and continued with what he was doing.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious at first, until Guan Yishen put an oyster on the plate, and the electric bell suddenly rang in the quiet private room, which stunned both of them.

Guan Yishen's social life is pitiful, even after resignation, and Fang Yongxin doesn't seem to have any serious calls these days because he doesn't go to work.

So, another sales pitch?

He didn't feel at ease at first, sucking fans in his mouth, and subconsciously glanced to the left.

But Fang Yongxin pursed his lips slightly, staring at the caller ID on the screen, his expression was obviously different from usual.

There was a thump on the left chest, and the chopsticks stopped in mid-air.

The phone rang persistently for more than ten seconds, but Fang Yongxin bowed his head in silence.

The color in the pupils settled several times, and finally wiped his hands and slid to connect.

With slightly parted lips and tongue, a clear voice called out: "Pei Wen..."

A completely unfamiliar name, at least Guan Yishen had never heard it from him.

No...it's not just the name, it seems that Fang Yongxin has never said anything about himself since the two met.

"I'm out of town, so of course you can't find me."

"I didn't hide from you, nor from anyone, I just came out to relax."

Guan Yishen was still at a loss when he just discovered this fact, so he sighed and said helplessly, "Why are you doing this?"

With a familiar and natural tone, it turns out...he is equally gentle and close to everyone.

"You came to Sirui right after graduation, and worked with me for several years. You finally got the position. If you don't want it, you don't want it. Isn't it a pity?"

"Bai Jiayu is not reconciled to me sharing his power, and the Asia-Pacific region has always been leaning towards him. I have long expected that today will happen."

"You are a rare talent. He has always wanted to win you over and surrender to him. Your salary will only increase. Why do you have to do it for me..."

Fang Yongxin squeezed the space between his eyebrows when he said this, and lightly tapped the table with his slender knuckles.

Although there was no expression, the complex emotions mixed with trust and burden could not escape Guan Yishen's eyes.

He was sure that the relationship between Pei Wen and Fang Yongxin was by no means an ordinary workplace relationship.

Sure enough, something was said on the other end of the phone, and a long sigh fell, as if a certain barrier had finally been loosened.

"...I know, I know your heart, I just don't want to drag you down."

"Since you have handed over your resignation letter, I won't talk nonsense. You chose me, and I will be responsible."

"There will be a big move in the capital soon. You wait patiently at home, and you have the right to take a holiday."

"Well... I will tell you as soon as I go back."

Fang Yongxin hung up the phone, ready to continue picking crab meat, turned his head, and faced Shang Guan Yishen's stiff face.

"Why don't you eat it? This big table won't taste good when it's cold."

Guan Yishen held the chopsticks without moving his hands, his lips were drawn into a straight line, and after a long while, he asked dryly, "Who is that Pei Wen? Are you familiar with him?"

Fang Yongxin glanced at him, and answered concisely: "It's my former subordinate."

"When you resign, he also resigns. He is quite loyal, and he only recognizes you as his boss."

Guan Yishen couldn't control his mouth a little bit, he knew the tone was wrong, but he couldn't stop no matter what.

The conversation between Fang Yongxin and Pei Wen just now kept echoing in my ears. It was fine to listen to every single word, but when combined, it gave birth to an unclean feeling of ambiguity.

Isn't it simple between the two of them?Could it be Fang Yongxin's second lover in the capital?

No, it's obvious that they knew each other earlier, if you talk about coming first and arriving later, then you are the one who has no confidence.

"I left this time because I fell into the trap of my colleague. In order to protect my sales team, I took the blame and resigned. He felt sorry for me, so that's why."

Fang Yongxin obviously didn't want to get entangled in this issue, so he turned his eyes away after speaking, opened the crab shell, and planned to dig out the crab roe.

However, Guan Yishen heard these words, which further confirmed Pei Wen's affection and righteousness to him.

It was as if the five-flavored bottle had been knocked over in my heart, with anger, unwillingness, depression, and hostility that Guan Yishen couldn't tell.

Fang Yongxin was too nice to him these days, his head was dizzy from soaking in the honey pot, and now suddenly a jar of sour vinegar was splashed on his face, he was caught off guard and didn't know how to deal with it.

He gritted his teeth, the knuckles of the chopsticks were turning white, and he spit out his thoughts: "I don't think it's that simple, he has feelings for you, and you are responsible for him. Who would say that in a purely superior-subordinate relationship?" ?”

Fang Yongxin paused, and finally put down the small spoon in his hand.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the metal material colliding with the tabletop, the small private room was instantly so quiet that a needle could be heard.

He took out two paper towels and wiped them slowly.

Guan Yishen watched his movements, his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and his subconscious mind kept reminding him that he had said the wrong thing.

Yet there was still a sound of fluke in the corner.

Hasn't he always been obedient to himself? He won't ask Pei Wen a few more questions and then...

After Fang Yongxin wiped his hands, he threw the tissue into the trash can and turned his head.

At that moment, Guan Yishen's heart sank rapidly.

The face he liked so much was expressionless at the moment, and the eyes were distant and indifferent, even showing an undisguised coldness.

We've known each other for so many days, and I'm used to seeing Fang Yongxin's tenderness when he smiles at Yanyan, how can I experience such coldness.

I was stunned for a moment.

"Some things, I thought you could understand if I didn't mention them, but now it seems that I still have to explain them clearly."

The always clear and pleasant voice, when speaking of gentle and thoughtful words, is of course warming one's spleen and stomach, but Guan Yishen did not expect that this voice, when speaking of ruthless sarcastic remarks, can also pierce the heart and lungs.

"I spend money to support you, and I am willing to pamper you. I have no special requirements, just a little—"

"Don't talk too much about things you shouldn't care about."

"Whether my subordinate is loyal or not, what relationship do I have with him, you have a sense of proportion, think about it again, is it your turn to ask?"

Fang Yongxin's tone was very calm from the beginning to the end, and he looked directly at him lightly, fully interpreting the words "soldier without bloodshed".

Guan Yi's eyes widened, he felt that his breathing was blocked, and he was filled with unspeakable astonishment and disbelief.

That's right, that's right, the relationship between him and Fang Yongxin is nothing more than a relationship between a benefactor and a young lover.

He shouldn't have done so, lost his sense of propriety, and asked questions that he had no right to ask.

Every sentence of Fang Yongxin was so reasonable, but why, he only felt a heavy weight on his heart, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

"Eat slowly, I'll go out and make a phone call."

As if he didn't want to spend any more time with him, and as punishment for his ignorance, Fang Yongxin left the table full of delicacies and walked out of the private room.

The moment the door closed, all the strength was drained, and the chopsticks fell to the ground with a "click" as soon as they let go.

Guan Yi looked deeply at Fang Yongxin's half-processed crab roe and crab meat, which were neatly stacked on the plate, and the color was attractive and attractive.

He suddenly felt genuine fear.

He was afraid of this ruthless Fang Yongxin, afraid that he would never forgive himself again.

I was also afraid of that gentle and considerate Fang Yongxin, afraid that he would be completely reduced to what he once was.
