Chestnuts are ripe

At 9:45, it was time to get off work.

Facing the dressing mirror in the lounge, Chen Fang tugged on his crumpled collar, repeatedly confirming that his clothes were correct.

Tanya looked around behind him, but couldn't help asking, "What? Is there any important date tonight?"

Chen Fang was startled by her voice, and was about to shake his head to deny it, but hesitated when he thought of Xue Lin's face, and finally nodded with a blushing face: "Yes."

Seeing his rare admission frankly, Tan Ya was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: "Then I wish you all the best!"

Chen Fang nodded gratefully.

At the employee passageway, the familiar figure stood there. The moment he first appeared, he raised his head and smiled at himself.

This scene was so familiar, Chen Fang blushed, and hurriedly ran over with his head down.Just when he was about to run in front of him, he worried that he would appear too urgent, so he forced himself to slow down.But when he saw Xue Lin's face, he still couldn't help his joy, and ran to him a few steps faster.

"Are you hungry?" Xue Lin looked at his flushed face and slightly messy hairstyle, and almost couldn't control his hands that wanted to rub his hair. After tightening his hands, he said with a smile, "Let's go and have supper .”

"Okay." Chen Fang couldn't tell whether he was shy or excited, but when he walked beside him, he couldn't help but want to jump up and down.He tugged at his clothes, and diverted his attention: "You... just, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, I have to work overtime recently, I just went downstairs." He obviously wanted to leave the overtime employees at eight o'clock and wanted to leave himself alone in the office, lying solemnly.

When he was brought to the door of the hot pot restaurant, Chen Fang had a slight hesitation on his face: Isn't he worried that he will be recognized by some acquaintances in such a crowded place?

Xue Lin didn't seem to feel his worry at all, and walked in frankly.

Chen Fang was a little embarrassed by the employees who kept bowing and saying hello along the way. After being forced to know how big their store was, the two sat down in a booth.

"Can you eat spicy food?" Xue Lin asked thoughtfully, "Are there any taboos?"

The person in front of him was still wearing a formal suit at work, but now he was sitting across from him, seriously asking himself if he wanted to thicken the tomato pot.Chen Fang felt as if he had discovered a new world. It turns out that even rich people have similar food and preferences to ordinary people.

There doesn't seem to be much difference between him and me.

After Xue Lin ordered the food, he saw the person across from him smiling triumphantly like a squirrel picking up nuts. He couldn't help but be infected by his emotions, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Fang originally wanted to ask him why he wanted to come here to eat hot pot, but because the overly enthusiastic waiter interrupted him several times, he didn't have time to ask until all the dishes were served.

Xue Lin is a very caring person.

Xue Lin, who took off his tie and suit jacket because of eating, was wearing a simple white shirt at this time, but it could highlight his generous arms.He was not worried about the hot pot soup splashing on his clothes. He rolled up his sleeves to reveal his smooth forearms, and took long chopsticks to boil the mutton in the pot. Then, while Chen Fang was in a daze, he picked up the meat and put it on his bowl.

"Eat it while it's hot, why are you in a daze?"

"Oh." Chen Fang withdrew his eyes, and after thinking that he was so dumbfounded just now, he almost wanted to bury his head in the bowl.

But Xue Lin has just tasted the fun of feeding, and the chopsticks caught in his bowl have never stopped, forcing Chen Fang to whisper: "Enough, enough, Mr. Xue... You, eat some yourself ..."

Xue Lin paused with the chopsticks in his hand, and reluctantly withdrew them.

Chen Fangcai just took a bite of shrimp slippery, when the melodious background music in the store suddenly changed to "Happy Birthday" song, he followed the sound and turned around, and found the waiters in the corridor holding lighted balloons, pushing the cakes silhouette of a small car.

Suddenly an ominous premonition rose in his heart.Even if he didn't listen to the loud voice in his heart: No way?No way?President Xue shouldn't be the one to do this kind of thing, right?Shouldn't it? ?But even if he wanted to crazily deny this fact again, when he saw that group of people coming towards him, his heart almost stopped beating at that moment!

Seeing him staring straight at the corridor, Xue Lin also turned around with some doubts, and saw the birthday waiters bustlingly pushing the cake trolley to the next table, singing happy birthday to the guests loudly.

Does Chen Fang like this?Xue Lin turned his head and saw Chen Fang burying his head in the bowl again.Unable to see the expression, Xue Lin was a little uncertain for a while, and asked tentatively: "Do you... want to do this too?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Chen Fang, who was guilty of the self-proclaimed worry just now, was caught off guard by his question and choked violently, coughing continuously.

Xue Lin didn't expect him to have such a big reaction. He hurriedly pulled out a wet wipe and handed it over, and filled the glass for him again, regretting that he didn't ask clearly in the bottom of his heart.

Fearing that Xue Lin really misunderstood what he meant, Chen Fang hurriedly refused after he caught his breath: "No, no! It's too, too public, I don't like it!" It was warmed up after eating the hot pot, because it was just choking, it was so red that Xue Lin couldn't move his eyes, and he was a little dazed for a while.

"Boss Xue?"

Xue Lin came back to his senses and nodded to show that he understood.

The birthday star at the table next door is obviously a person who likes to socialize. A group of waiters surrounded him without stage fright, joking loudly to enliven the atmosphere.Chen Fang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles here, he could hardly eat anything.

Fortunately, the dishes ordered by the two of them were not many, and they were finished in a short time.

Chen Fang followed Xue Lin to stand up, looked at the mints on the table to freshen the breath of the guests, and secretly took a few more and put them in his pocket when he was not paying attention.

Who knew that this small action of mine had been hidden from Xue Lin, but was noticed by the enthusiastic waiter.While the two were still waiting for the elevator, suddenly the waiter handed over the packaged mint candy with a smile on his face: "Sir, I think you like this candy quite a bit, I'll just take one flavor After a little, you can eat on the road!"

"Ah? I'm not...no need!" Turning around, Chen Fang saw Xue Lin beside him was attracted by the movement and turned his head. He refused even more flusteredly, almost wanting to perform a kneeling begging for mercy to the loud waiter in front of him.

"You don't need to be so polite, just take it if you like it! This candy is very refreshing! It's okay!"

In this fight, Chen Fang, whose face was flushed, was finally defeated. The fingers holding the paper bag were almost curled up shyly, not daring to look up at Xue Lin.

Xue Lin could see the red tips of his ears when he lowered his head slightly, and felt that his shyness in front of strangers was so cute, so he couldn't help smiling and said, "It's not something to be ashamed to like candy. "

"I don't!" Chen Fang couldn't help but turn around and deny when he heard him joking, but couldn't help shivering when his high-pitched voice met his eyes, and murmured in a low voice: "I don't like sweets ..."

Xue Linben was just joking around and didn't have any other ideas.When walking out of the elevator door, he asked in a natural tone, "Are you full?"

"Huh?" Chen Fang's thoughts were still stuck in the shame of hindsight, and he didn't realize that his topic changed so quickly.

"Do you want to go for a walk in the park next to me?"

It's not too early now, and the aunts who danced in the square have already left.Chen Fang and Xue Lin walked together on the path in the park, and it took a long time before they saw a few people walking their dogs.

The relaxed atmosphere is very suitable for speaking from the heart.

But Chen Fang had been brewing for a long time, but he didn't have the courage to open the chatter box. He moved his mouth a few times and swallowed the words again.

After walking slowly to the viewing platform on the hillside, the two finally stopped.

The dim environment gave Chen Fang the best cover-up. He looked at the flashing lights of the cars coming and going, and suddenly relaxed.

"I," he heard Xue Lin say, "I agreed, and I'll wait for you to think it over."

Hearing this, he turned around and looked at Xue Lin, waiting for what he would say next.He could vaguely see Xue Lin's throat moving, and after a short wait, he heard him say, "I, I won't rush you, but I just want to ask..."

"Do you like me a little bit more today than yesterday?"

Chen Fang heard that his words were more or less unnatural, and then realized that Xue Lin seemed to be very nervous at this time.When he heard him ask such words, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Xue Lin also seemed to realize that the question he blurted out just now seemed a bit stupid, coughed a few times in embarrassment, turned around and put his hands on the railing of the observation deck, averting his eyes.

Just when Xue Lin thought he had messed up the atmosphere, he heard Chen Fang ask softly: "What do you like about me?"

He turned around and met those eyes that were still shining like stars in the dark night.

Chen Fang was waiting for his answer.

He opened his mouth, and the love words that he had memorized before leaving get off work today suddenly became useless, so he asked, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

Before Chen Fang could give an answer, Xue Lin was afraid that he would feel that he was fooling around casually, and hurriedly explained seriously: "I didn't believe it, either."

"But on that rainy day, the first time I saw you, I unconsciously followed you all the way..." Xue Lin swallowed, his voice trembling slightly with nervousness, "Later, in the store Saw you."

"I thought that we would only meet by chance, but later, every time we meet again, I feel that God is reminding me not to miss you."

"I know that you may be very troubled if you can't explain it clearly, but I," Xue Lin explained eagerly, couldn't help but put his palm on his chest, "My heart, indeed, has always been attracted to you."

"That's why I can't help but want to get close to you, understand you, and want to treat you well. Seeing you cry makes me feel very uncomfortable, and I want to hold you in my arms so that you don't cry..." Xue Lin can't wait to see you All my thoughts were displayed in front of Chen Fang, only looking at the small mole on the corner of his lips, which was faintly visible in the moonlight, and the urge to kiss it came to my heart again.

"But what if I no longer attract you in the future?"

There was a slight sadness in Chen Fang's eyes. His lack of confidence in himself made Xue Lin feel a little sad subconsciously. In his heart, he always felt that he deserved all the best things in this world. .

He didn't know how to erase the inferiority complex in Chen Fang's heart, because such a good-looking and gentle person should be loved well.

In his eyes, there should be the brightest light.

If not, he would like to be the light in Chen Fang's eyes.

"Chen Fang," Xue Lin whispered, "I like you."

"And it's a liking based on the premise of a lifetime."

"do you know?"

The distance between the two people did not know when it became so close, and Chen Fang's tired and exhausted heart was soaked in the other's true and soft emotions.

The distance was too close, and Chen Fang could feel his shortness of breath, his restlessness, and his waiting.Before he could react, he felt the corner of his lips cool down.

"I'm sorry," Xue Lin's voice was a little annoyed, but the approaching face didn't seem to move away at all, "I forgot to ask for your permission first..."

He lightly pressed his forehead, and Chen Fang could see that the other party's eyes were all about himself.

For a moment, as if scalded by his fiery love, his heart suddenly condensed enough courage to break out the deep buried emotions, and he took the initiative to move his face forward and kissed Xue Lin's side.

Faced with the surprise in his eyes, Chen Fang's face was burning, and he said in a low voice:

"I've thought about it."
