sticky essence

7.

Yan Zeyi cooked an extremely unpalatable meal again.

He seemed to realize this when he entered the entrance, and explained embarrassingly: "I used to do this all the time, and I didn't think it was bad. I only realized that it was so unpalatable after eating the food you cooked."

He originally wanted to make a joke, but Wen Xi was too sad just now, and now he is slow to respond to humor.

Yan Zeyi looked at him chewing in small bites, feeling very sorry, and said, "It's fine if it's not tasty, it's the same when we order takeout."

Wen Xi shook her head, and cleaned up the rice in two bites.

well.Yan Zeyi felt a little emotional in his heart. He didn't understand why Wen Xi forced himself. Even if he said it wasn't delicious and I didn't like it, he wouldn't blame him for such a trivial matter.

After eating clean, Wen Xi stood up, smiled weakly at Yan Zeyi, and said, "Let me make you another fried rice with eggs."

This time, Yan Zeyi finally sighed. He looked at Wen Xi melancholy, and said, "Since it's not tasty, why force yourself to eat it?"

"No coercion." Wen Xi's voice was hoarse but firm: "I don't know how happy I am to be able to eat something made by you yourself. The taste is not important at all."

Yan Zeyi was taken aback.

"However, I can't let you eat something you don't like. You suffer, and I suffer more than you."

This is the first time Wen Xi expressed his love so directly, but the way he said it was too serious, without the tenderness, ambiguity and tenderness when talking about love between lovers.

Yan Zeyi realized that he was only declaring a fact, not expressing love.

"Then, it's hard work for you." Yan Zeyi squeezed out a grateful smile, and for some reason he felt a little guilty.

Wen Xi took his bowl, kissed the corner of his lips, and entered the kitchen.

After that, everything was normal, Wen Xi's egg fried rice was as delicious as ever, and when the tears on his face dried up, Yan Zeyi was almost in a daze whether he had really cried in the afternoon.

At night, when they were hugging and kissing in bed, Wen Xi was as usual, skillful and methodical.

But the water marks on the wall still blatantly remind Yan Zeyi that his lover lost control today.

He didn't want to force Wen Xi to say anything. Wen Xi's past was too complicated. Rather than an explosive outbreak, he hoped to eliminate the stagnation in his heart with a steady flow of water.

For the first time, the two lay in bed but felt far apart.

Wen Xi was still thinking about Yan Zeyi's awkward smile at dinner.He's scared, sure, he's never smiled like that before, he's scared of me.

The smile in her mind was painted with layers of shadows and gradually became gloomy. Wen Xi seemed to see herself appearing alone in the middle of the sea again. The sky was gray, the sea water was black, and the edge of her eyes was a line Black arc, no shadow of land, no direction, no hope.

I have to be normal, I have to be normal.Wen Xi said silently in her heart, I can't make Ze Yi afraid.

a month later.

Yan Zeyi's software outsourcing company signed a large order with a famous Spanish fast fashion clothing brand. With this order, the company's target turnover for this year has achieved more than half. To celebrate this phased success, Yan Zeyi Another major shareholder of Yihe Company decided to lead the entire department on a group trip, with the destination set in S City.

"So we'll probably set off tomorrow...Wen Xi? Are you listening?"

"Ah, oh. I'm listening." Wen Xi smiled briefly to hide her panic: "How many days are you going?"

"Four days, but counting the distance, it's about five days." Thinking of the excited expressions of the department staff who heard that they will live in a six-star hotel this time, Yan Zeyi also laughed: "Everyone has been very lucky during this time. , It should be a good time to have fun."

"Yes..." Wen Xi nodded absent-mindedly: "It should."

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Yan Zeyi quickly asked, "Are you unhappy?"

"How could it be!" Wen Xi categorically denied: "This is your job, and it should be!"

Yan Zeyi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "It's great that you understand, thank you baby, I will bring you a gift."

"Yeah." Looking at the anticipation and excitement in his eyes, Wen Xi knew she had done the right thing: "It's fun."

When Yan Zeyi was taking a shower at night, Wen Xi couldn't help but look at his phone—not sneakily, because Yan Zeyi had officially promised him that he would be allowed to check his phone at any time.

Wen Xi first clicked on the browser to check his browsing history, and after finding nothing wrong, he logged into the cloud space to check the automatically backed up pictures, files, and short messages.

There was no problem, he was very satisfied, and couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.At this moment, a thoughtless WeChat message popped in.

"Then let's talk about it!" Followed by a heartfelt expression.

Wen Xi squinted her eyes and clicked on the dialog box, only to find that there was no record of the conversation.Yan Zeyi deleted it, why did he delete it?Wen Xi clicked on the other party's profile picture and found that the note was 'Market Chloe'.It's a woman, Wen Xi clicked on this woman's circle of friends, the first one is: Tomorrow we will start team building~ Thank you for our handsome Yan Boss!Crazy love~ The picture is a selfie of myself, with a pink filter and high-quality skin, the kind that all straight men will like.

The first reaction was impossible, how could Yan Zeyi have anything to do with such an ugly girl.But the more I think about it, the more subtle it becomes. Since there is no problem, why delete the previous dialog box?Are you trying to hide something?

Wenxi launched this interface and checked Yan Zeyi’s other dialog boxes. Most of them were related to work, and a few of them mentioned preparations for team building, and there were also conversations with women, but none of them were deleted. Only this dialog box was deleted.

why?

Wen Xi heard her sneer, isn't that enough to understand, Yan Zeyi has cheated mentally.

The word 'cheating' made his heart feel desolate, the warmth and sweetness in his daily life instantly withered, and a hatred and trembling that hadn't appeared for a long time returned to his body.

Yan Zeyi will not cheat, he loves me, I have to trust him.

These high-sounding words could no longer suppress the beast in his heart, and the fact that he was about to be abandoned loomed like spider silk sticking to his face, and Wen Xi closed his eyes in pain.

"Wen Xi, help me get my pajamas." Yan Zeyi's energetic voice came from the bathroom.

"Here we come." Wen Xi heard herself say.

"If you want to go too, then I'll tell Lao Xu again to see if I can add someone," Yan Zeyi hugged Wen Xi, and the aroma of shower gel rushed into Wen Xi's nose with the wet heat: "If you think about it, you must tell me."

Wen Xi shook her head obediently, and said softly, "No, just have fun."

8.

I will go, Wen Xi thought, I want to give you a clean slate.

He followed Yan Zeyi again. To be honest, he couldn't remember how many times he did this kind of thing. Thanks to his previous experience, he is now a full-fledged agent.Follow the car, check the room number, and follow you.

It's nine o'clock in the evening, so far Yan Zeyi's performance is pretty good.He kept a proper distance from everyone. Although Wen Xi didn't like him smiling brightly at everyone, he could barely tolerate it.

The only problem is a woman.

Wen Xi guessed that the female cousin was Chloe.Like a shameless teddy, she kept getting close to Yan Zeyi, sitting together when eating, and standing together when visiting scenic spots.She even expressed dissatisfaction after asking Yan Zeyi to take a photo of her - Wen Xi really wanted to jump out and tell her loudly: The photo is ugly because you are ugly!Not because it was shot badly.

At [-]:[-], a group of people finished the barbecue and were going back to the hotel. Yan Zeyi stood up and said something. The barbecue shop was too noisy and Wen Xi couldn't hear clearly.Then everyone started to walk out, Yan Zeyi said goodbye to them at the door, and that Chloe followed him.They entered the convenience store together, but the convenience store was too small and Wen Xi didn't dare to follow in, so she had to watch secretly outside.

After a while, the two came out. Yan Zeyi and the woman pushed and shoved for a while and took the plastic bag in her hand. The woman's hand was on her small bag. Even in the dark, Wen Xi could see her I blushed.

Her pride almost made Wen Xi angry.

When they returned to the hotel, Wen Xi knew that Yan Zeyi's room was set on the [-]th floor, so she deliberately bypassed them and ran back to wait on the [-]th floor early.

But he waited for more than ten minutes but no one came.In a panic, he ran to check the elevator, but unexpectedly, the elevator stopped on the sixteenth floor—the floor where the employees' rooms were.

A bad premonition came out of my heart.

Wen Xi hurriedly ran down the safe passage, and as soon as she reached the stairs, she heard a woman's exaggerated and disgusting laughter like a duck.He cautiously poked his head to see that the woman was taking out the key card to open the room, and Yan Zeyi followed in the next second.

At that moment, Wen Xi only felt that the sky was dim and the earth was dark, and she almost couldn't even stand still.

This is definitely not true, Wen Xi thought, he might just help her carry things in.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes... 5 minutes.

Wen Xi couldn't lie to himself anymore, he felt an endless anger burning his body, he wanted to kill that woman, and then take Yan Zeyi to die with him!

Boom boom boom!Boom boom boom boom boom!

"Damn," Xiao Li scolded, "Where did the waiter come from with such strong hands?"

Xiao Peng pushed him: "You are the closest to the door, go and open it!"

Xiao Li had no choice but to stand up, and Yan Zeyi considerately turned on the corridor light for him.

Boom boom boom!Boom boom boom boom boom!

"Come here," as soon as Xiao Li opened the door, a ghostly man grabbed his collar and rushed in: "Damn it! Who the hell are you!"

Yan Zeyi and the big guys looked together, and saw his lover with a shocked face.

"Wen Xi, why are you here?"

"You, you..." Wen Xi was in a trance for a while, how could there be so many people in this room.

"Mr. Yan, your friend?" Xiao Li ran away from Wen Xi, joking angrily, "Why do you look like you are here to catch an adulterer?"

At this time, there was a burst of eerie music playing on the TV. Wen Xi looked there and found that it was a horror movie.The two plastic bags floated empty on the table, and the snacks inside were in the hands of these people.

Wen Xi felt a burst of cold air spread upward from the soles of his feet, almost freezing his brain.He couldn't help trembling and wanted to escape from this place, but his feet didn't obey the order.

What should I do, what should I do.

At this moment, the last thing he wanted to face was Yan Zeyi, he didn't dare to look at Yan Zeyi's expression at all.

"Boss Yan, is your friend okay?" someone asked.

Yan Zeyi stood up after a brief shock, and he said to everyone: "Sorry, please read first, I have something to do." After speaking, he led the stiff Wen Xi out of the room.

He dragged Wen Xi upstairs and returned to his room.The sound of the door lock falling startled Wen Xi, and he trembled, thinking he heard the sound of the death sentence.

"Why are you here?" Yan Zeyi asked seriously.He is not a fool, so he soon realized that Wen Xi was following him, and he is not a temperless mollusc, so he would naturally be angry with Wen Xi's abnormal behavior.

Wen Xi dared not speak.

This made Yan Zeyi even more annoyed: "What the hell are you thinking? Why are you following me?"

Wen Xi still dare not speak.

Yan Zeyi saw that he was unwilling to speak and was too lazy to force him. He was very angry now, and he didn't want to see Wen Xi's stubborn appearance.

"Forget it." After saying this, he was ready to go out.

"Don't go." Wen Xi grabbed his wrist and said softly, "Don't go."

Yan Zeyi was not in the mood to watch him play petty temper. He felt a headache when he thought of the discussion among the employees in the bottom floor. He had to go downstairs as soon as possible, saying that this trivial matter had been resolved.

As soon as he shook off Wen Xi's hand, the other party rushed forward as if parting from life and death, screaming: "Don't go! I beg you! Don't go!"

Wen Xi's voice was so tragic that Yan Zeyi was taken aback, and when he turned around, he saw Wen Xi crying miserably.

"Don't go... Ah... I was wrong... I was really wrong..."

Wen Xi's choking and sobbing sound pierced Yan Zeyi's heart like a needle, and his heart softened in just a second.

"I'm not leaving." He leaned over and hugged Wen Xi who was crying to pieces, and said softly, "I'm not going anywhere."

Wen Xi cried louder, as if confirming that this person is someone she can let herself be spoiled for.

"I'm sorry, I... I..."

"Don't cry baby, don't cry." Yan Zeyi took his hand and sat on the bed, Wen Xi held his hand tightly and sobbed tremblingly.Yan Zeyi helped him wipe away the tears on his face, and comforted him: "I forgive you, I will never blame you. But you must tell me the reason, or I will be angry."

Wen Xi raised her head sharply, with tears streaming down her face: "Please, don't be angry, I, I was really wrong, don't hate me...don't leave me..." His hand tightly grasped Yan Zeyi's hand showed streaks of purple and blue.

Yan Zeyi had no choice but to hug him, coax and kiss him, and it took him a long time to calm him down.

"I didn't mean to, I looked at your phone last night..." Wen Xi explained intermittently: "...I saw you entered the room with her, that's why..."

"Alas," Yan Zeyi sighed, touched his chin, and said helplessly, "I deleted the dialog box because I was afraid you would misunderstand it. Chloe is more unrestrained, and she talks ambiguously. I'm afraid you won't be happy when you see it."

Hearing such a reason, Wen Xi felt more and more guilty. He felt that he was simply too dark, and Yan Zeyi who was with him really endured too much.However, even so, he doesn't want to be separated from Zeyi, he knows that he is selfish and inferior, but he really really doesn't want to be separated from Yan Zeyi.

"I swear, I will never do this again, please don't hate me, please, I will always be good to you, please, don't leave me... I really love you... …I beg you."

Yan Zeyi helped him wipe away the new tears, but the tears fell one after another like broken pearls, and couldn’t stop. Yan Zeyi kept kissing his cheek and telling him with actions, I love you too ah.

He never knew Wen Xi was so insecure, never knew that his love was such a precarious thing to Wen Xi.Maybe Wen Xi will be a troublesome lover to others, but to him Wen Xi is a lover who will make him feel distressed.Now that he is with Wen Xi, he has to be responsible, treat Wen Xi well, give him a sense of security, and give him a home.

9.

"Let me introduce to you, this is my lover, Wen Xi."

There was no sound.The employees tried their best to suppress the urge to be dumbfounded, what the hell!The boss came out early in the morning!

Wen Xi's eyes widened, and he was more surprised than everyone else. He didn't expect that Yan Zeyi's "introduce you to everyone" meant this, and he didn't expect that he actually used the word "lover".It's not a word for a couple, it's a word for a partner.

"Ah, ah hahaha, everyone, don't be so surprised," Mr. Xu was the first to smooth things over, "What age is it? Come on, let's applaud Mr. Yan's courage."

Crackling crackling crackling.

After the applause, everyone obviously relaxed a lot.

The bold employee even made a joke: "Mr. Yan is indeed Mr. Yan, the sister-in-law I found for us is also too pretty."

Several female employees also booed: "Yeah, why is the skin so good, how are you taking care of it?"

Yan Zeyi couldn't help but kissed Wen Xi's chin, he was the one who blushed, "Wen Xi is born beautiful."

Old Xu couldn't see it anymore, and scolded: "Oh, shameless, you're here to show your affection," then turned to the staff and said: "Since my sister-in-law is here, let's go and accompany her, do you have any opinions? ?”

"No!" the group shouted in unison.

Wen Xi hugged Yan Zeyi's waist tightly, never feeling so at ease in her heart.

"You are my boyfriend now, the one who will get married in the future, do you want to?"

"Yes." Wen Xi disliked her crybaby temper: "I am willing to die."
