I take paranoia as a victim

After sending this message, Xiao Cheng didn't look at his phone again.

It wasn't until after class that he realized that Luo Jingshu didn't know what to reply to him just now, and there was only one sentence left on the screen: The other party withdrew a message.

Xiao Cheng glanced at it and exited the chat interface. Whatever Luo Jingshu wanted to say had nothing to do with him, left and right were just excuses.

On the contrary, He An sent him a message half an hour ago. There was still a missed call on his mobile phone. He probably guessed that he was in class. He An only called once and didn't call again.

A few days ago, He An told him that Xiao Yu had already selected the person who would lead Xiao Cheng, named Bai Yiheng.

Xiao Cheng originally thought that he would have to wait until the holiday at least before he could meet this Mr. Bai, but He An just sent a message telling him that Xiao Yu would finish his business trip and return home tonight, and Bai Yiheng came by the way.

He An plans to invite Bai Yiheng to his house tonight, and formally introduce him to Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng was still a little nervous about meeting his immediate boss, he was afraid that he would show his feet in front of Bai Yiheng.

He An probably mentioned a few words to him that day, saying that this Mr. Bai is personable, mature and steady, with a gentle and polite personality.

It's all compliments.

Xiao Cheng probably imagined an image of an adult man in his mind. According to He An, Bai Yiheng should be a very easy-going person.

"Xiao Cheng, are you going to have a skewer at night?" Jiang Zihe hooked Xiao Cheng's shoulder, "It's been a long time since we went out to eat together."

Xiao Cheng came back to his senses, "I can't do it tonight, I have to go home."

"Next time."

Jiang Zihe showed regret, "Then you have to treat me next time."

Xiao Cheng agreed, "Okay, I'll let you eat as much as you want."

He has been through the book until now, and the closest friend around him is Jiang Zihe. Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but pat Jiang Zihe on the shoulder, "Thank you, brother."

Jiang Zihe had an inexplicable feeling of chills on his back, "What are you doing so greasy all of a sudden, you won't fall in love with me after breaking up, right?"

Xiao Cheng: ...

That is also unnecessary.

It wasn't too late when he got home, but a strange car had already parked in the warehouse, and it was Bai Yiheng who came.

The tension in Xiao Cheng's heart slowly rose again.

He walked into the living room, and before he saw anyone, he heard a burst of laughter—it was He An who was laughing.

Then she seemed to say something, but it was a little vague, and Xiao Cheng couldn't hear it clearly.

As soon as he came out of the entrance, He An saw him sharply.

"Cheng Cheng is back."

Xiao Cheng walked over with a smile, and the man who had been sitting on the sofa with his back turned to him also looked up and met Xiao Cheng's gaze.

The man's eyebrows and eyes are deep and well-defined, and his pupils seem to be darker than ordinary people's. When he looks at a person quietly, he gives people a very serious feeling.

It was indeed an impeccably handsome face.

There was still a smile on this face, and when his master saw Xiao Cheng, a chuckle came out of his throat, "This is Mr. Xiao Xiao, right?"

Xiao Cheng subconsciously stood up straight, and nodded to Bai Yiheng, quite like a high school student facing the head teacher.

"Hello, Mr. Bai."

He An covered his lips and laughed, "Don't be so cautious, Cheng Cheng, come and sit down, and Yi Heng, you're welcome too, just call him Xiao Cheng."

Xiao Yu beckoned, asked Xiao Cheng to sit over, then patted him on the shoulder to introduce Bai Yiheng to him, and briefly talked about the achievements of this Mr. Bai.

To make Xiao Yu full of praise, Bai Yiheng really has some skills.

When he heard Xiao Yu's praise, Bai Yiheng kept a gentle smile on his face and did not interrupt until Xiao Yu finished speaking. Then he said to Xiao Cheng: "The past achievements are just a proof, the important thing is How to move forward together in the future.”

Xiao Cheng tightened his fingers on his knees, and straightened his back, "I will ask Mr. Bai from now on."

Although he has experience, he is not as sophisticated as Bai Yiheng. Perhaps compared to Bai Yiheng, his last life can only be regarded as a small mess.

He An kept Bai Yiheng for dinner at night, and Xiao Yu deliberately gave Xiao Cheng and Bai Yiheng a chance to talk, so that the two could get acquainted as soon as possible, so he asked Xiao Cheng to take Bai Yiheng out for a walk before the dinner started.

This is the second time Xiao Cheng has done this kind of thing this month.

The person next to him last time was Chu An.

For some reason, when he thought of comparing Bai Yiheng and Chu An together, he wanted to laugh a little, and felt that Bai Yiheng's sense of distance in his heart was also reduced.

"University-learned design?" Bai Yiheng caught a glimpse of the inconspicuous smile on his face, and asked first.

His voice was low and gentle, resounding in the howling cold wind, like a kind brother next door talking, Xiao Cheng also let go of his guard.

"Well, when I chose a major after the college entrance examination, I was quite interested in design."

Although the original owner had already chosen this major when he came here through the book, Xiao Cheng still had the opportunity to change majors.It's just that he thinks that studying design is also good, and he can express his ideas in the form of art. He is quite interested in this aspect.

Bai Yiheng was still wearing a coat over his suit. He put his hands in his pockets and exhaled softly, "Haven't you thought about developing in a professional direction?"

It’s not that after getting in touch with the family business, you can no longer continue to learn design-related knowledge, but the corresponding time will be less, and human energy is limited after all.

Xiao Cheng glanced at him in surprise, he thought that Bai Yiheng would persuade him to spend time on taking over the family business.

Sensing Xiao Cheng's gaze, Bai Yiheng smiled at him, then looked into the distance, his voice was still gentle and pleasant: "Everyone has their favorite things, and also has a future they yearn for, it's not surprising."

Xiao Cheng really wanted to ask him, do you like your life now?

Bai Yiheng might have sensed his thoughts, and before Xiao Cheng asked, he explained: "My previous dream was to become a painter, and I studied oil painting in college."

Xiao Cheng was really surprised this time. He tilted his head and looked at Bai Yiheng's side face, feeling that it was a bit real.

Bai Yiheng gives people a feeling of calmness like water, he is like an oil painting full of historical background, just waiting for someone to dig out his secrets hidden under his gorgeous appearance.

The appearance of such a man holding a paintbrush and concentrating on creating is probably a very beautiful picture in itself.

Xiao Cheng thought without any distractions.

Appreciating beauty is the essence of human beings, and it has nothing to do with all emotions. He just simply recognized Bai Yiheng's appearance and temperament.

Or it should be said that the unique temperament of some people can make others ignore his appearance.

"Then why didn't you continue to draw?" Xiao Cheng followed Bai Yiheng's example and tightened his clothes, the scarf around his neck covered his lips, and his voice was muffled when he spoke.

Bai Yiheng gave a low laugh, there was a fine line at the end of his eyes, which was not obvious, and could only be seen when he was close to him when he laughed.

Xiao Cheng never asked about Bai Yiheng's age, but he didn't feel that this person was too young, and of course he wasn't old either, it was a kind of maturity that was just right.

Maybe he's 30 years old.

"Xiao Cheng, painting is also very expensive." Bai Yiheng said, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Cheng, "Before this hand picks up the paintbrush, it must first support the family."

Xiao Cheng looked down at his palm and asked subconsciously, "Mr. Bai is married?"

He swore that he had absolutely no other thoughts, but he just heard Bai Yiheng talk about a family, and his mouth was faster than his head, so he asked the question naturally.

Bai Yiheng withdrew his palm, and the leather shoes stepped on the floor, making a soft clicking sound. He looked at Xiao Cheng: "No, I'm unmarried."

Xiao Cheng raised his head to meet his gaze, Bai Yiheng was taller than him, Xiao Cheng had to raise his head slightly to meet his gaze.

They walked to the place where Chu An asked to take pictures that night, Xiao Cheng recalled what happened after that, and his mood became lighter.

He looked away, feeling that his face was a little stiff, so he couldn't help but take out his hand from his pocket, put it on his cheek and rubbed it.

Bai Yiheng seemed to laugh, but when Xiao Cheng looked over, the other party had already looked away and asked him, "Do you want to go on?"

After Xiao Cheng rubbed his cheeks until they turned red, he stuffed his cool fingers back into his pocket, "It's a bit cold, let's go back."

Bai Yiheng hummed, his eyes under the long eyelashes looked even darker in the dark night, he looked at the young man next to him calmly, his eyes saw the flushed face from those shining eyes all the way.

Xiao Cheng's face is the proof of Nuwa's eccentricity, especially those eyes, which are slightly lighter in color than others, look particularly clean and transparent, and it is easy for Bai Yiheng to think of warm jade.

He had never met Xiao Cheng before, and when Xiao Yu asked him to bring his son with him, Bai Yiheng thought he was just an ordinary young man.

Now he still doesn't know how good Xiao Cheng is, but after a conversation, he is satisfied with the other party's quiet character.

If there is no accident, Xiao Cheng will be his assistant for a long time in the future, and he has to follow him for meetings and business trips at any time.

Even knowing that this assistant will become the leader of the company sooner or later, Bai Yiheng still hopes that during the time he leads Xiao Cheng, he has a comfortable assistant.

He didn't have much emotion about that period of time in the future, but it's not like he can't look forward to it now.

Bai Yiheng finally came to a conclusion. With Xiao Cheng by his side, let's not talk about work, at least it is true that he can be good-looking.

The two walked quietly for a while, and Xiao Cheng suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have answered Bai Yiheng's question just now.

"My father hopes that I can take over the family's property, and the Xiao family really needs me."

He said such a sentence without thinking, but Bai Yiheng immediately understood what he meant. The smile on his face was slightly reduced, and he looked at Xiao Cheng with a serious expression: "Are you not interested in business matters?"

Xiao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "That's not what I mean, I just want to say that this reason is more important than my interest in business."

Bai Yiheng breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not as if I have no interest."

His voice was serious and his tone was slow: "Xiao Cheng, if you have no interest in what you are going to do, then there is no need to do it."

"Because all it brings you is pain, basically it's just a burden on you, it doesn't bring you any pleasure."

Bai Yiheng said, and suddenly smiled again, "Of course, people can never just choose what they like. Many times we have to go against our own wishes and continue to work on the road knowing that the road ahead is rugged. Go forward."

Xiao Cheng blinked, "For example?"

Bai Yiheng was serious: "For example, work."

"If you can lie at home and sleep until you wake up naturally, then eat and relax, and do what you like, who would want to go out to work in the cold wind or scorching sun?"

Xiao Cheng: That makes sense.

He didn't expect that Bai Yiheng, who looked like a successful person, would feel distressed about having to work.

Suddenly felt closer.

"So many times, for a certain purpose, we have to hold back the pain and persist."

Bai Yiheng looked at Xiao Cheng's fair side face, and said with a smile in his voice, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Xiao Cheng turned his head and looked at him: "Mr. Bai is trying to tell me that no matter how difficult it will be in the future, I will not give up lightly?"

Bai Yiheng felt that the young man was like a harmless little animal, secretly stretching out his claws to test the enemy, pitiful and cute.

He couldn't help laughing a few times, and said meaningfully: "I'm not a good boss of a thin employee."

As his assistant, Xiao Cheng will be directed by him to do things for sure, even if Xiao Cheng is the prince, he will be scolded if he doesn't do well.

He was just afraid that Xiao Cheng was not mentally prepared and would be scolded by him to cry.

The young man smiled at him: "Don't worry, Mr. Bai."

Bai Yiheng curled his lips, "Okay, let's go in."

He and Xiao Cheng walked in one after the other, and when they were approaching the door, Bai Yiheng suddenly asked in a low voice: "By the way, I forgot to ask you just now."

"Xiao Cheng, do you have a date?"

The author has something to say: woo woo woo, I'm sorry I'm late, today the dysmenorrhea is too severe, I have been out of shape, everyone has been waiting for a long time!
