Chapter 39
Chapter 39
In the afternoon, He Shumo received a somewhat special task to buy snacks for the cat.
"Isn't that still there?" He Shumo asked, pointing to the pile of unopened snacks in the box.
"Hey, I've been keeping the expired ones. So I change them every week." Xun Liangjun sent a list to He Shumo: "This is all cats like to eat, so you can just buy it accordingly."
"But..." The cat won't come back again, why buy his snacks?He Shumo glanced at the list, but it was really his favorite food.
"Don't be fooled." Xun Liangjun said: "Just buy as you want, anyway, the boss pays for it. Don't ask too many questions, and don't mention cats in front of the boss. This is his minefield, the kind that catches at any point."
Minefield?He Shumo did remember that after the meeting, Yan Lu took the initiative to mention it several times.
"What about the leftover snacks?" He Shumo looked at the snack box with some pity, they were all his favorites.
"Usually put it in the tea room, whoever eats it will get it, and it will be used as employee benefits." Xun Liangjun replied: "After you buy it, replace it with a new one, and move the old one to the tea room. You can eat whatever you want. You young people love these messy little snacks."
Wrong, I just like this kind of messy snacks, I like them all!He Shumo took Yan Lu's card to the supermarket.When buying snacks according to the list, the previous picture unconsciously appeared in my mind. In the past, every weekend, Yan Lu would bring him here to purchase.At that time, he was squatting on the small chair of the shopping cart, just meowing if he wanted to eat, and Yan Lu would obediently put his favorite snacks into the cart.
I don't know what Yan Lu will think about when he goes shopping in the supermarket after he leaves.He Shumo felt fine pains in his heart, and the emotion of guilt was like rough sandpaper, grinding He Shumo's heart.At that time, how could I be willing to just walk away?Even without leaving a word, he disappeared without a trace.
When he came out of the supermarket, He Shumo suddenly heard a tempting aroma, mixed with the sweetness of chocolate and the milky aroma of bread, it turned out to be a newly opened donut shop next door.
He Shumo has always been insensitive to sweets, but donuts are an exception. He always feels that these things have a strange magic power, and he will feel better after eating them.Probably formed a conditioned reflex when I was a child.At that time, there was also a store like this in front of my house. Every time I cried and cried, my mother would take me downstairs to buy donuts to eat. As time passed, I felt happy when I saw donuts.
"Is there that kind of donut with a smiling face?" He Shumo remembered that it was his favorite kind, called a donut, but this kind has no hollow in the middle, it is completely round, covered with Yellow chocolate sauce, then use black chocolate to draw a smiley face on it, and it's done.The taste is second to none, just looking at the smiling face makes me feel happy.
"No." The clerk was a young girl, and she winked at He Shumo playfully: "But little brother, take a photo with me, and I'll make one for you."
Half an hour later, He Shumo returned to Yan Lv's office with four donuts and a cup of hot milk with sugar in exchange for his lust.At that time, the vice president and chief financial officer were having a small meeting with Yan Lv inside. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they turned their heads curiously, and met He Shumo who was carrying a large bag.
"Sorry to bother you." It's not that He Shumo didn't know he was going to knock on the door, but he had too many things in his hand, so he was lazy, and he didn't expect to bump into someone inside.
The chief financial officer looked at He Shumo curiously: "This is the boss's new assistant. The young man looks tender, like a high school student. How old are you?"
Hey, today's age is too much to pass, right?Boys who have just grown up always don't like being treated like children, let alone the competitive He Shumo: "I just graduated."
Graduated from high school.
"Graduated?" Naturally, the chief financial officer couldn't understand the ambiguity of the word "graduation", and shook his head in surprise, not like, really not like.
He Shumo ignored her, put the snack bag next to the cat's nest, and handed the donuts and milk to Yan Lv: "It's for you."
"Give it to me?" Yan Lu looked at the cute pink paper bag and smelled the sweet fragrance inside. This is what the little girl eats, right?
"Didn't you have lunch? Eat this to pad your stomach." He Shumo said awkwardly. He was actually not good at caring for others so actively, so he had to educate himself: Serving the boss is the job of an assistant, and you are paid people.
"Thank you." Yan Lu held the cup of milk, and the warmth came out through the paper cup.
The sharp-eyed vice president sniffed something unusual from the interaction between the two. Unlike the chief financial officer who focused on the report, he had heard something about this new assistant.No matter how true the gossip is, the vice president thinks it's better to withdraw at this moment: "Ah, Xiao Yan hasn't had lunch yet? Let's eat first. I almost understand what you said just now, and I will go back and change the plan."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, give it to me as soon as possible." Yan Lu nodded.
"Don't worry, the changes will definitely be finished before get off work." The vice president stood up.
Before the chief financial officer could understand what happened, he was pulled up by the vice president: "Then we'll leave first."
The door closed, leaving only He Shumo and Yan Lv.Yan Lu opened the paper bag, and inside was a beautiful cardboard box. When he opened the box, four yellow donuts were neatly arranged in the box.Each has a smiley face drawn on it.
"What is this?" Yan Lu looked at the food in the box inexplicably: "Chocolate bread?"
"This is called a donut, brother!" He Shumo couldn't laugh or cry, he had to say that no matter how powerful a big boss is, he would have a lack of knowledge. For example, the guy in front of him who can play games and start a company doesn't know anything. It's donuts.
elder brother?Yan Lv's focus was entirely on the name "brother". Although he knew that He Shumo was just shouting for fun, this title still made his heart flutter.
He Shumo didn't realize what was wrong with what he said at all, and he was so focused on caring for the strict law of those who had never eaten donuts: "Aren't you in a bad mood at noon, I told you that donuts are a kind of food. It’s a magical ability that makes you happier when you eat it.”
Of course, Yan Lu would not believe that eating donuts would make him happier.But the knowledge that He Shumo was making him happy made him feel a little joy in his heart, even looking at the four silly smiling faces in the box, he felt extra cute.
Yan Lu picked up one and took a bite, the sweet and greasy chocolate sauce, the milky aroma wrapped in bread, spread between his lips and teeth.He Shumo's eyes widened, looking at Yan Lv expectantly, as if waiting for a moment to witness a miracle.
Yan Lu's brows and eyes softened unconsciously, and the corners of his eyes curled up into a smile: "Well, it really makes my mood better. I feel much better now."
"That's good." He Shumo heaved a sigh of relief, leaned sideways on Yan Lv's desk and said, "Hey, I don't understand the situation in your family, so I don't know much about it. But blood relationship is not the only thing in this world. Become a family member, you can tell me if you are unhappy in the future, and I will accompany you."
This promise, sweeter than the chocolate sauce in the mouth, makes people feel a little unreal.Yan Lu picked up the milk on the table and drank it down, but suddenly took a big mouthful of sugar at the end.
"Hey, I added sugar, you can drink it without stirring it." Seeing Yan Lv's frown, with a sugar-smothered expression, He Shumo poured him a glass of water in a funny way.
"Ahem." Yan Lu's voice was hoarse: "I didn't expect that."
"Don't you like milk with sugar? I asked the boss for a sugar packet." He Shumo said, "But there is only granulated sugar there. It probably hasn't melted, and it all sank below."
Yan Lu took another sip of water from the cup, and raised his head sharply after hearing the words: "How do you know that I like milk with sugar?"
"I..." He Shumo was at a loss for words for a moment: Damn, why did he slip up again? It's hard to guard against.
"I heard from Assistant Xun." He Shumo prevaricated.
Yan Lu said in his heart: What a liar full of lies.Xun Liangjun didn't know that I had the habit of adding sugar to milk.
But Yan Lu looked at He Shumo's helpless look, like the little emperor who was caught by the tail when he first met, suddenly couldn't bear to expose him.
Yan Lu took the box and signaled He Shumo: "I can't eat so much by myself, let's eat together."
"I can't even eat four of these. When I was a child, I could eat eight of them alone." He Shumo said, reached into the box and took one, bit off half of the smiling face in one bite, and after two more bites, the whole donut was eaten. stuff it in your mouth.
He Shumo's cheeks were bulging like a hamster hoarding food, and his cheeks moved rhythmically, looking more funny than the smiling faces on donuts.
"Why are you eating so fast, and no one is robbing you." Yan Lu chuckled, stretched out his fingers, and gently wiped off the chocolate sauce on He Shumo's face with his fingertips: "It's all on his face."
He Shumo suddenly felt his whole body numb as if electrified, and his heartbeat was so fast that it made people panic.It seemed that he had been immobilized, his cheeks were puffed up and his eyes were fixed, like a frightened hamster.
He grabbed the water glass on the table abruptly, gulped down all the cold water left in the glass, and felt a little clearer in his head.
"Well, I choked on eating too fast." He Shumo explained embarrassingly with a flushed face.He stood up straight again in a panic, ready to run away: "Eat slowly, I'll go to Assistant Xun to see if there's anything I can do to help."
Yan Lu raised his hand to clasp He Shumo's wrist, and with a little force, he pulled He Shumo to the side of his chair.He Shumo was dragged like this, and his center of gravity was unstable. He held the water glass in one hand, and Yan Lv grabbed the other hand, so he quickly put his knees against the chair so as not to jump directly on Yan Lv, his expression flustered as if he was being dragged Cat with paws: "What are you doing!"
Yan Lu blinked and smiled innocently: "It's okay to drink from my cup, but can you return the cup to me after drinking?"
Only then did He Shumo realize that he had picked up Yan Lu's water glass in his panic just now.He Shumo didn't pay much attention to this at school. He didn't bring water after playing basketball, and he often grabbed a cup and drank it.But being caught and said by Yan Lu like this, it seemed a little ambiguous.
"I, that, I'm going to wash you up." He Shumo retracted his hands twice, but he didn't break free from Yan Lu's palm.
Yan Lu took the cup in He Shumo's hand and put it on the table casually: "No need to wash, I don't mind."
"Boss, tomorrow..." Xun Liangjun pushed open the door, and was immediately speechless from the shock of the scene in front of him.I saw the boss sitting on a chair in front of the desk, holding the assistant's hand in his hand, looking up, with a smile on his lips, and infinite tenderness in his eyes.
On the other hand, He Shumo blushed, put one knee on the cushion of the chair, and looked down at Yan Lv.The two were very close, as if they could kiss each other just by leaning over.
Xun Liangjun retreated and closed the door in one go, as fast as if the moment just appeared was just an illusion of the two people inside the door.
He Shumo didn't realize what Xun Liangjun had misunderstood, but asked strangely, "Why did he leave?"
"Probably because I suddenly thought of something else." Yan Lv told the editor's nonsense solemnly, and let go of He Shumo's hand.
Yan Lv reminisces about the residual touch on his hands. He Shumo's wrists are well-articulated, but his skin is delicate and smooth.It has a completely different touch from cats.
"Then I'm leaving too." After He Shumo regained his freedom, he ran away immediately.The atmosphere in the room was too strange. When he was caught by Yan Lv, He Shumo felt unspeakably nervous, like a cat being grabbed by the back of the neck.
Yan Lu looked at the back of He Shumo leaving in a hurry, and smiled self-deprecatingly.what happened to him?Skin hungry?Why can't I stop clamoring in my mind, I want to touch the boy in front of me more, I want to hold his hand tightly, I want to hold him tightly in my arms, I want to own him, I want to make him my own, I want to be alone human.
Yan Lu closed his eyes, suppressing the constantly surging absurd thoughts.
You are crazy strict law.
He's a human being now, not a cat.
