white at sunrise

The hands are tied with red strings.

Xu Yuzhi stopped writing and went to reply the message. Doris quickly backed out.

Xu Yuzhi saw the child send a message: "Even."

Dad is boyfriend: "What's even?"

Child: "The thing about your boyfriend being jealous is even."

Xu Yuzhi smiled and continued working.

When Doris returned to her department, she couldn't wait to tell Tang Tang the clue she found, but found that Tang Tang sent her a message:

Croissant Tang: "Duo Duo QAQ, I asked Xiao Bai, and he said he has a partner. Sister, your dream is broken, woo woo woo woo."

Design director Lin Duoduo replied: "Sure enough, the handsome guys belong to other people, woo woo woo woo. But, I just discovered a brilliant point! I just saw my boss's mobile phone wallpaper! It belongs to him and his little girlfriend! Two Holding hands together, fingers interlocking! Two people also have couple red string bracelets! So sweet and envious! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I want to ask for the same style!"

Tang Tang: "Sister, are you paying attention?? But! It's nothing special! Our Xiaobai's hands are also super white and beautiful! It's a pleasure to see him typing on the keyboard with his slender fingers!"

☆, birthday gift

After a day of tiring work, Shen Tingbai felt uncomfortable everywhere.He had a displeased expression, moved his neck, and squeezed his fingers, as if he was going to fight.

"Bai, do you know what day it is?" Fatty Wang held his chin with a downcast expression.

Shen Tingbai didn't speak, raised one eyebrow, and gave him a look to signal him to stop talking nonsense and speak quickly.

"December 12th! It's half a month before the new year! Both of us," Wang Kaifei pointed to himself, then to Shen Tingbai, and said, "New year, new atmosphere, the same forever Only us, single dogs!"

Shen Tingbai turned off the computer and planned to get off work: "Well, it's a bit miserable."

"It's more than that! It's quite miserable! It's very miserable! It's utterly miserable! It's inhumane!"

"Oh, it's so miserable. But, you are the only one who is miserable. I am someone who has a partner. Bye~" Shen Tingbai walked away with his head held high.

"Damn! You actually sneaked out of the order behind my back!!!!!! Shen Tingbai!!! You come back!!!" Wang Fatty screamed like killing a pig from behind.

At this moment, everyone in the company where Shen listened to Bai Tuodan's news and was yelled at by Fatty Wang knew about it.

Shen Tingbai walked out of the company's gate, and suddenly thought of a very important thing.Today is December 12th, 15 days later, it will be Xu Yuzhi's birthday.

Birthday...birthday present...what should I get?

He originally wanted to ask Xu Yuzhi what gift he wanted, but he felt that Xu Yuzhi would definitely say: As long as it is given by you, I will like it.He couldn't ask anything even if he thought about it, so he decided to think about it himself.

Therefore, Xu Yuzhi didn't see Shen Tingbai for several days.Shen Tingbai spends his days at home doing his homework and wants to give him a surprise.

On the first day, he searched on Baidu: suitable gifts for boys.

Baidu gave some suggestions: watches, shoes, earphones, basketballs, figures, hand-woven scarves, game skins...

Shen Tingbai thought for a while: Okay, I don't know how to knit a scarf.Goodbye you 886!

The next day, he tried to type in an orange software: send boyfriend a birthday present.

A certain treasure jumped out with a variety of gifts: birthday Coke customized cans DIY, ghost horse creative gifts for boyfriend poop cups for Christmas, old newspapers on the day of birth, 100 things for couples to check in, DIY exclusive clay avatars......

Shen Tingbai: The speed at which you entered my eyes could not keep up with the speed at which I uninstalled the software.

On the third day, he tried to give full play to the ingenuity of contemporary netizens and found the answer on some question-and-answer apps: Excuse me, my boyfriend is going to celebrate his birthday, and we just got back together, what gift is more suitable?Need to be more reliable, thank you!

Soon, he received a lot of replies, he happily opened, and then uninstalled non-stop.

A group of online neighbors collectively replied: "Send yourself."

so annoying!How could it be so difficult!Shen Ting's gray hair is getting bigger.While he was worrying, someone called in.He didn't even look at it, and replied in a bad tone: "Who is it?"

"What's wrong?" A gentle and deep male voice came from the receiver, and Xu Yuzhi asked, "Who messed with my baby?"

"No, no." Shen Tingbai softened immediately.

"Really?"

"Really." Shen Tingbai asked tentatively, "Well, is there anything you want? Just, recently, is there anything you like?"

Xu Yuzhi paused for about two seconds before replying, "Want to prepare a birthday present for me?"

... Shen Tingbai simply smashed the jar and said, "That's right, tell me, I'll buy you whatever you want."

Xu Yuzhi chuckled lightly and said, "As long as it's from you, I like it."

Shen Tingbai sighed: "I knew you would say that, so it's useless to ask."

Xu Yuzhi was silent for a longer time now.Shen Tingbai thought that he might really not lack anything, and he really couldn't figure it out for a while, so he wanted to say it and forget it.Then I heard Xu Yuzhi say softly, "I want you."

The three words with an airy sound passed over Shen Tingbai's earlobe like a soft feather, itching.

Shen Tingbai's ears turned red all of a sudden, "Cough, I'll go to bed first, good night." He hurriedly hung up the phone and rubbed his hot face with his hands.Then he dropped onto the couch, burying his face in the fluffy blanket.He is seriously thinking about this problem.I don't know how long it took before he turned over, closed his eyes, and his chest heaved.

Xu Yuzhi was still processing documents in the company, and Lin Zhao was also there.He has been very busy recently, so busy that he started to envy Shen Tingbai's bed again.

It was almost 10:30, and he leaned back in the soft leather chair, loosening his tie a little.Just after finishing the phone call with Shen Tingbai, he felt hot-headed right now.

Lin Zhao knocked on the door, came in and asked if she wanted to make Xu Yinzhi a cup of coffee.

Xu Yuzhi replied, "No need, let's get off work."

"Okay, I'll take you back."

"No, you can get off work."

Lin Zhao didn't leave, but cared: "You look tired and not suitable for driving."

"It's okay." Xu Yuzhi rubbed her temples.

"Subordinates, please pay attention to your body and don't be too tired. There is no news from the board of directors recently. You can rest assured."

Lin Zhaoyi pointed out something, and Xu Yuzhi could understand that what the board of directors were talking about was not someone else, but his father.

"En." Xu Yu nodded her jaw slightly.

After Lin Zhao finished speaking, he withdrew.

Xu Yuzhi unlocked the locker under the desk, took out a small black velvet box from it, and held it in her hand.He turned his chair around, overlooking the night view of Ningcheng from the top floor of Building D of the International Finance Corporation, and he had a panoramic view.He looked in the direction of Shen Tingbai.

☆、Finally see you, brother-in-law

The days passed quickly, and it was Christmas Eve in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Shen Tingbai got off work at 500:[-] and started packing quickly.This positive energy really scared Fatty Wang on the side: "Bai, someone like me knows that you are going on a date. Those who don't know think you won the [-] million lottery and rush to claim the prize."

"Is it exciting to win 500 million? Do you know this word?" Shen Tingbai wrote a word in the air, then pointed to himself and said, "I am."

"Damn, you haven't kept up with your temperament, take a look at the house, Paramela!"

"Hmph." Shen Tingbai chuckled, put on his coat, waved his hands, and left.

Shen Tingbai made an agreement with Uncle He earlier today and reserved a seat.He planned to raid Xu Yuzhi's company and arrest the busy people who have no time to eat recently.

Shen Tingbai came to the 36th floor on the top floor of Block D of the International Finance Corporation.

The lady at the front desk smiled and said, "Hi, sir, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I'm looking for Xu Yuzhi." After Shen Tingbai finished speaking, he realized that Xu Yuzhi's name was called, thinking that this was someone else's company, so he immediately changed his words: "I'm looking for you Mr. Xu."

"Do you have an appointment?" The front desk lady took out the notebook.

"No."

"Then wait a moment, I will report to Assistant Lin."

After about a minute, Assistant Lin came out.

"Mr. Shen, sorry for the long wait. Please come with me. Mr. Xu is waiting for you in the office."

Shen Tingbai thought to you that 1 minute is too long to wait?Then he followed Assistant Lin and walked in.

Some people in the company noticed these two, because the styles of the former and the latter were too different.

The person walking in front was wearing a black suit and black leather shoes. Lin Zhao had a delicate face and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. The neckline was fixed meticulously, giving him a very elegant demeanor.Shen Tingbai, who was walking behind, was wearing a black sweater, dark blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers.He has chestnut hair with long bangs and excellent facial features. He walks casually behind Lin Zhao. The contrast is obvious. He looks like a young master from a rich family who came out to play in his spare time.

Lin Zhao knocked on the door and led Shen Tingbai in.

Xu Yuzhi smiled the second she saw Shen Tingbai, "Why do you want to come here?"

"I'm here to catch you for dinner." Shen Tingbai walked to Xu Jinzhi's desk, put his hands on it, and smiled at Xu Jinzhi.

"Cough." Jiang Zhi, who was sitting on the sofa and ignored, let out a dissatisfied voice.

Jiang Zhi twirled two walnuts in one hand, propped his head in the other, and looked at Shen Tingbai.Shen Tingbai turned to look at him, puzzled and vigilant: this person looks very difficult to mess with.

Xu Yuzhi looked at Shen Tingbai with a smile, and said, "His name is Jiang Zhi, he is my friend."

"Oh, hello, I'm Shen Tingbai."

Jiang Zhi raised the corners of his lips, and said to Shen Tingbai, "Oh~ I finally see you, son-in-law."

"Uh, huh?" Shen Tingbai became even more puzzled.

"In terms of seniority, I want to call me brother, you and him." Jiang Zhi put down the walnut in his hand, bent his two thumbs together, and said, "I call you brother-in-law, what's wrong? "

Shen Tingbai laughed awkwardly.

Holding the phone, Xu Yuzhi said sternly: "Jiang Zhi, don't tease him." Then she changed her tone and said to Shen Tingbai in a gentle tone: "Xiaobai, wait for me for a while, I'll take care of this, and we'll go eat, okay? good?"

"No hurry, you go first."

"Let's go, brother-in-law, let's sit outside. He wants to make a phone call." Jiang Zhi said as he walked towards a reception room.

Xu Yuzhi nodded slightly at Shen Tingbai, and Shen Tingbai followed Jiang Zhi out.

"Mr. Jiang, please drink tea. Mr. Shen, honey water." Lin Zhao personally prepared to deliver it.

Shen Tingbai couldn't believe the three words he heard, honey water, and looked at Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao understood, and replied: "Mr. Xu said that you have a bad stomach. There is only honey water in the company. The hospitality is not good. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Shen Tingbai stopped quickly, he was really afraid that Lin Zhao would suggest that he go downstairs to buy milk later.

Lin Zhao walked out of the reception room and closed the door.This is a small reception room, Jiang Zhi and Shen Tingbai are sitting at one end of the table, not far apart.

I just heard Jiang Zhi say: "Hey, Xu Yuzhi really cares about people. Don't be nervous, I just want to see what it's like to be a person who can make this boring gourd do one incredible thing after another. "

Jiang Zhi was very calm on the surface, but he was jumping with joy in his heart: Xu Yuzhi, the time has finally come to expose you!

Are you still telling me to take it easy?Shen Tingbai thought in his heart, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Oh? You don't even know?" Jiang Zhi smiled, "Xu Yuzhi has been beaten by his father a lot because of you."

"I don't know. What happened to him in Beicheng?" Shen Tingbai frowned, and his expression became uneasy.

Jiang Zhi sat up straight, took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The tea is good, and the little assistant tastes pretty good."

Shen Tingbai: ...

Jiang Zhi glanced at Shen Tingbai, only to see the smiling face and said: "It's been nearly three months since he graduated from high school. He was really miserable. I only found out later that he was imprisoned by his father for three months. The reason is that he I refuse to go to North City University." Jiang Zhi paused and continued: "I was lucky to see him a week before he started school, at the hospital."

"Auntie Qing told me that she refused to go to Beicheng University, and said she would go to Ningda University. Uncle is a quick-tempered man, so he beat him up with a golf club, and after the beating, he was locked up at home and died. Communication. Uncle Fian asked him once a week, "Are you going to North City University?", and he answered "No." Every week, Uncle Fian beat him up. He was half-dead and refused to change his words. The old wounds were not healed, and new wounds were added. No, I saw him in the hospital."

When Jiang Zhi said this, his tone was relaxed, as if he was telling a joke.Shen Tingbai gave him a displeased look.

Jiang Zhi ignored it and continued: "Later, Aunt Qing and his younger brother pleaded for mercy, so Uncle Fen didn't let him beat him to death. I didn't even need to guess that he must have done this for you. I asked him to leave a note. Fate, or I won’t see you anymore. What are you talking about like, love, and being together? No life, it’s all empty. Only then did he give in and exchanged terms with his father. He went to Beicheng University, he Dad resumed his communication. But he still can't reach you."

Jiang Zhi stopped at this point.

Shen Tingbai lowered his head and didn't look at him. After a long time, he asked: "What do you mean 'I don't need to guess that he must be doing this for you'. Isn't this the first time you've seen me?"

"This is the first time I've seen you, but it's not the first time I've known you." Jiang Zhi stood up, walked to the window, and continued, "Because I've heard of your name since I was a kid. Shen Tingbai. Xu Yuzhi is one year older than you. He was going to go to the first grade with me. Because of you, he beat me up and told his father that we have a bad relationship, so he would never go to school with me. First grade, one year later."

Jiang Zhi turned around and looked at Shen Tingbai and said, "The only time I ever had a nosebleed in my life was when Xu Jinzhi punched me when I was 7 years old."

Shen Tingbai: ...Should I say I'm sorry?

"After that incident happened, he was forced to transfer to Beicheng. In the three years of junior high school, he diligently won the first place in the grade and the competition. Do you know why? Because he only won the first place once in three consecutive years. One, it is possible to exchange a wish from his grandfather, his wish is to return to Ningcheng, and he wants to find you."

"Even if his grandfather agreed, his father still refused. He had no choice but to ask me for help. I received a call from him that night, and he said to me: 'Jiang Zhi, come to my house.' I didn't say much. I went when I thought about it. In his study, he said to me: "Jiang Zhi, beat me up. Give it back to you." I thought there was something wrong with him, but I thought about the humiliation of the 7-year-old punch, so I beat him up. After beating him, tell his father that our relationship is really bad, as I said, as long as he promises to stay in Beicheng for a day, I will beat him up every time I see him. "

Shen Tingbai: "...Is he crazy?"

"He's crazy. Just to see you, he would do any stupid thing." Jiang Zhi leaned against the window, watching the night scene: "He smashed all the trophies in the room, making a lot of noise He is usually too steady and silent, so that everyone forgets how old he is. The words of 15 and 6-year-old children actually scare a group of adults. He got his wish and returned to Ningcheng to find you. He went to the airport There was no one to pick him up, except his driver. I went there secretly. After all, we are still real brothers. I asked him why he insisted on going back to Ningcheng. There are many places to visit and make many friends in Beicheng. Only Shen Tingbai is your good friend?"

"Xu Yuzhi told me that he wanted to go back and confirm something."

"What's the matter?" Shen Tingbai asked.

"He said he thinks he likes you." Jiang Zhi said it seriously, without any hint of a joke.

Shen Tingbai looked up at him, but didn't speak.
