The president who wears books is cold

Xu Lin looked at the newspaper spread out in front of him, with an angry expression on his face, just thinking that no matter how angry he was, it was useless. After half an hour, he regained his composure.

It took a long time to wait for Zhou Ji to go home. Two hours later, the calmness on Xu Lin's face was replaced by new impatience. When Zhou Ji really opened the door to go home late at night, he was completely exhausted.

This exhaustion extended from his body to his mind, accompanied by a subtle numbness.

The lights in the room were not turned on, seeing Xu Lin who was suddenly exposed to bright light, Zhou Ji couldn't help but be taken aback by him.

"why are not you sleeping?"

Zhou Ji, who came over to hug him, was flushed, his eyes were loose, and there was a strong smell of alcohol on his body.

Xu Lin turned his head aside and said, "Where did you go?"

"Hasn't Weidong been broken in love these days? Today, after work, he dragged us to the bar." After speaking, Zhou Ji pushed him a bit reproachfully, and said, "Didn't you see it all?"

The two were in the same design studio, but unlike Zhou Ji, that design studio was opened by Xu Lin himself.

When the design studio was established, Zhou Ji had just graduated from university, with red lips and white teeth, and a green smile. Seeing that the boss who was not a few years older than him always kept a straight face and didn't know how to take care of himself, so he would take care of the boss every time he came and went. Treat it as his own task, from the decoration style of Xu Lin's apartment to the small breakfast he will have tomorrow, everything is meticulous and considerate.

Xu Lin's parents passed away early, and he grew up with his grandmother. When he was in the second year of high school, his grandmother passed away due to illness, and he has been left alone since then.

Before meeting Zhou Ji, Xu Lin had never been in a relationship, nor did he think that one day he would like a man.

It has been seven years since the establishment of the design studio, and the two have been together for almost five years.

In the past few years, he and Zhou Ji lived a life like an old married couple, but now, Xu Lin suddenly felt that it might be better for him to live alone.

The room was extremely quiet, and Zhou Ji also sensed his displeasure. After a moment of silence, he said, "Xu Lin, did I do something wrong?"

Xu Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "What do you think?"

There was a certain coldness in his eyes, Zhou Ji got off him a little nervously, and was about to pour him a glass of boiling water for him to explain the reason to himself, when he saw the newspaper spread out on the table.

The large black font marks the list of winners of this year's Zizhulin Award and the names of the entries.

Seeing that his name was the first in the list, Zhou Ji turned pale and said tremblingly, "Xu Lin, listen to my explanation."

"Explain what? Stealing my design draft for the competition?"

The Purple Bamboo Forest Award is the most important award in the field of interior design. It is held every two years. For this competition, Xu Lin has prepared for a long time. The mix of Chinese and Western styles, combined with the modern, simple and elegant design concept, that day he Originally, I wanted to send this design draft, but because Zhou Ji was too busy, I had more time to take the initiative to take the original draft in his hand.

It now appears that he had premeditated to do such a thing.

"Zhou Ji, I'm very disappointed in you."

Xu Lin can't say too romantic love words, nor can he make too harsh accusations, but based on Zhou Ji's understanding of him, this sentence means that he is unwilling to see him again in the future.

Thinking that the two might be separated, Zhou Ji burst into tears, half kneeling in front of Xu Lin, and said, "Don't be like this, Xu Lin, we've known each other for so many years, don't you know me? I...I really I was forced to do nothing…”

Xu Lin has always been very accommodating to himself. It was because of this consideration that Zhou Ji did such a bold thing. Originally, he thought that he would be fine if he begged Xu Lin hard, but today Xu Lin looks a bit Abnormal.

Zhou Ji couldn't make up his mind, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he had no choice but to say what he had thought up earlier, with tears in his voice, he said: "I'm not like you, I have no money, no power, and no talent like you. Xu Lin, Just help me, I'm going to be thirty next year, if I don't get any grades, I'm afraid I will have a miserable life in the future..."

At the end, Zhou Ji's knuckles holding his trouser legs began to turn white.

"You want to quit?"

"No, no, no, I stayed in the design studio well, how could I change jobs!"

Xu Lin looked down at Zhou Ji's teary pear face, it seemed that it was only at this time that he realized that he didn't know this person at all.

It's like he was kind to himself out of the blue.

For example, he would stand in the company tea room and speak ill of himself to his colleagues.

For example, when he came back a few days ago, the clothes were scattered on the living room floor.

He heard Zhou Ji's exaggerated groans from the bedroom.With a groan, he realized that he shouldn't have been there at that time.

This is Xu Lin's first time dating someone. Although he knows that Zhou Ji is doing something wrong, he doesn't know how to solve it.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, Zhou Ji was born in a poor family, and the school he went to was just a low-end school.

In the real world, such a person does not have any competitiveness. It may be that they are used to surviving in a tight spot, or they may be used to pleasing the people around them.

In the final analysis, he was just misled by Zhou Ji and had nothing to do with love.

"Zhou Ji, let's break up, please move out from here tomorrow."

All Zhou Ji's expenses are borne by Xu Lin for him. When he meets a luxury watch he likes, he will buy it for himself without saying a word. Except for his dull personality, he is the most considerate and perfect lover.

Thinking of the possibility that he would have nowhere to go after the breakup, and the amount of credit card overdraft, Zhou Ji sat on the ground in horror and said, "No! Xu Lin! You can't do this to me!"

"Why not?"

"I...we've been together for five years..."

Xu Lin didn't want to talk too much, and felt it was unnecessary. After pushing away Zhou Ji who was really trembling in front of him, he stood up and said, "I hope you will call tomorrow to explain to the organizer about the design draft. If I don't get an answer, I'll call the police."

"Xu Lin, you can't treat me like this..."

Talking like sleepwalking did not arouse Xu Lin's interest, but before he turned around and took a few steps, he heard a muffled sound, followed by a sharp pain from the back of his head.

When he turned around, what Xu Lin saw was the scene where Zhou Ji with a distorted expression smashed the trophy towards him again.

Xu Lin's family is well-off, but his grandma's generation suffered a lot, had traditional thinking, and was most proud of his achievements.

Before she passed away, all the certificates that Xu Lin took back would be pasted on the wall by her, and Xu Lin gradually developed such a habit. When I was two, I participated in a college competition and got...

Zhou Ji, who was riding on him, pinched his neck with one hand, and kept hitting his head hard with the trophy in the other.

While Xu Lin's consciousness gradually became blurred, he thought Zhou Ji was done this time.
