Chapter 29

Zhai Siluo's field of vision was swirling in an instant. The noisy cicadas, the cooing of the flowing water from the bridge in the distance, and the sound of moths flapping their wings were all gone, and the whole world was quiet.

    Only his intense heartbeat, thump, thump, kept beating against the eardrums.

    Shen Zhuoli kissed him, then stretched out his hand and pressed him into his arms, the force was so strong that it seemed to crush his bones and melt them into his own blood.

    This is the side that Shen Zhuoli has never shown in front of Zhai Siluo.

    He is always gentle and courteous in dealing with people, with a spring breeze on his face. However, at this moment, he was a stranger when he was drunk.

    The lips were bitten so painfully, the man's scorching breath was pervasive, and he was imprisoned like a pair of iron pliers on his shoulders. .The man he kissed was like a beast caught in lust, holding his prey firmly in his palms, not letting anyone covet.

    With a bang, Zhai Siluo was pressed against the carved iron door behind him. The sound of the metal crashing made Zhai Siluo sober for a moment. He raised his eyes and tried hard to push Shen Zhuoli's shoulders away.

    "Brother Zhuoli...no...uu-"

    Shen Zhuoli didn't hear it, raised his hand to grab his chin again, and the tip of his tongue repeatedly outlined the shape of his lips. Zhai Siluo's lips and teeth had a faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine. It was bitter at first, and then slowly became sweet, which made the man want to stop.

    Zhai Siluo felt that he was about to die of lack of oxygen, and the drunk Shen Zhuoli was too terrifying. With a ruthless heart, he bit Shen Zhuoli's mouth hard.

.Shen Zhuoli was in pain, and the hand holding his shoulder loosened slightly, Zhai Siluo took this opportunity to push him away quickly.

    "Brother Zhuoli, you are drunk." Zhai Siluo stood under the rose trellis, his breathing a little unsteady.

    Shen Zhuoli tasted a faint smell of blood, probably Zhai Siluo bit his lip. The dull black eyes regained clarity, desire was locked in a cage, and reason regained possession of his brain.

    The man's deep black eyes showed a hint of guilt.

    "Xiao Luo, I'm sorry, I was just impulsive."

    Zhai Siluo didn't speak, he looked down at the stone road under his feet.

    Is it just impulse? What was he expecting from the bottom of his heart?

    Shen Zhuoli looked at him, suddenly tore off his tie and loosened the collar of his shirt, a great struggle flashed on his face.

.He seemed to have finally made up his mind, approached Zhai Siluo, pinched his chin, and made him raise his head.

    "Let me correct it, it's not the urge to get drunk, it's that I only have the courage to reveal my heart when I'm drunk." He paused, his unusually bright and fiery black eyes looked at Zhai Siluo, his voice was hoarse and affectionate, "Xiao Luo , I kiss you because I like you."

    "It's not the kind that likes you as a younger brother. It's..." He didn't know how to describe it for a while, so he had to grab Zhai Siluo's hand and put it on his left chest.

    "This heart beats because of you."

    Zhai Siluo looked at him in shock. The skin under the palm of his hand was separated by a thin cloth, still scorching hot, the thumping sound of his heartbeat was clear and powerful, and the rapid and regular sound seemed to be transmitted from the palm of his hand to the heart.

    Did brother Zhuoli like him too?

.Seeing Zhai Siluo's silly expression, Shen Zhuoli couldn't help but smile.

    "Sorry, last time you were drunk, I couldn't help kissing you. I was too mean."

    Zhai Siluo blushed slightly and nodded. An unbelievable surprise smashed him head-on. His whole figure seemed to float on the clouds, and there was always a sense of unreal trance.

    The pictures of the two getting along in the past kept replaying in my mind. Shen Zhuoli visited the crew many times, and cameo and supporting roles played opposite him; when he was kidnapped, he came to rescue him alone; He always had a gentle smile on his face...

    So, the sweetheart that Shen Zhuoli said before was actually him?

.There seemed to be butterflies flying in his stomach, Zhai Siluo's heart beat a little faster, and his heart was thumping, he watched Shen Zhuoli staring at him under the dim yellow street lamp with his gentle black eyes, those eyes were deep and bright, like the most dazzling eyes. Xinghe, he is the only one who is full of eyes.

    Zhai Siluo retracted his hand and unconsciously clenched the hem of his shirt. There is an ecstatic voice clamoring in the bottom of my heart, respond to him, you also like him, he also likes you, isn't this the luckiest thing? What else do you want!

    However, there is still an indescribable heavy force pulling him, causing his soul to fall.

    He knew that he was no longer the Zhai Siluo who could risk his life for love. Now he has become hesitant and shrinking, sensitive and cautious, cautious, walking on thin ice, not daring to take a wrong step. His heart was already wrapped in hard ice, and walls of thorns were erected everywhere. .Shen Zhuoli looked directly at him with too firm and fiery eyes, which made him even less courageous to respond.

    He is simply not worthy of such a good brother Zhuo Li. After being reborn, he was full of hatred in his heart and played with Shen Weixi and Wei She. What would Shen Zhuoli think if he saw it? Besides, if he knew that the person he liked at first was actually him, and that what he was looking for in Shen Weixi was just a shadow like him, what would Shen Zhuoli think?

    Under the streetlights, tiny moths buzzed and fluttered their wings like a source of light, rushing to merge into the light that burned their bodies. Zhai Siluo felt as if his heart was being burned by something, with a faint pain like tearing.

    He didn't speak, just stood there quietly, all the emotions in his eyes receded, and he looked a little bewildered. Shen Zhuoli watched his reaction, her long eyelashes drooping slightly.

    He understood that he was still impulsive. .Because of jealousy and possessiveness, when he saw Shen Weixi went to Zhai Siluo, he came here in a hurry, and even got drunk and said a lot of crazy things, just wanting to get his response.

    How could he forget that Zhai Siluo had loved Shen Weixi for so many years after all, and even if they were separated now, he still needed time to heal the wound in his heart. He hurriedly wanted to take out his heart and hold it in front of him, forcing him to respond, I'm afraid it would only backfire.

    Shen Zhuoli suddenly hooked the corner of his mouth and laughed at himself.

    "Look at my brain, I'm really drunk. You don't have to worry about those words just now, rest early, good night."

    He picked up the tie that had fallen on the ground, tried to stand up straight, and walked towards the next villa.

.Looking at his back, Zhai Siluo felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by something, and he had to bend down to resist the suffocating pain.

    A few days later, Li Le went to cc's dormitory to visit the class and wanted to know the progress of Zhai Siluo's recording. When he saw his state, he was shocked.

    "Why have you lost so much weight, is this broken company abusing you, or is it unhappy?"

    Zhai Siluo stood on the balcony smoking a cigarette. He looked at the tall buildings and streets in the distance with no expression on his face.

    "no."

    "That's because he's at odds with Ye Zhi, he offended you?"

    Zhai Siluo chuckled lightly with the cigarette between his fingers.

    "He won't have any influence on me, and I don't talk to him more than three times a day, you think too much."

    He wanted to ask again, but the urging voice of the director's team came from the room. .He had no choice but to watch Zhai Siluo anxiously go back to the dormitory.

    The two-week internship period has ended, and today the CC executives will conduct the first round of elimination assessment. Before entering the conference room, Jin Yu was so nervous that he grabbed Zhai Siluo's sleeve and kept talking.

    "Mr. Zhai, I think I'm definitely finished. What if I can't answer a word of what they asked?"

    "If you can't answer, you don't know, don't pretend, maybe they will still appreciate your frankness."

    Jin Yu nodded and looked at Zhai Siluo with his eyes sunken with some worry.

    "Mr. Zhai, I don't think you've been doing well in the last few days. Are you too tired in the company?"

    "Can I get tired of this shit?" .Zhai Siluo smiled indifferently, and couldn't help but rubbed his hair, his tone was like comforting a worried puppy, "You can go in with confidence, it doesn't matter if you are eliminated, go back and concentrate on making music."

    Jin-Woo nodded, took a deep breath, and walked into the conference room.

    Zhai Siluo was the last to enter. His posture was lazy, and the top button of his shirt was not properly buttoned. As soon as he entered, the male examiner who was leaning against the wall frowned slightly.

    A total of four executives sat in the spacious and bright conference room, three men and one woman. The questions they threw are all very sharp. First, let Zhai Siluo briefly summarize his experience in the marketing department in the past two weeks, and then give him a few plans for his comments and revisions.

    Zhai Siluo's habit of stepping off work is well-known in the company, and several personnel also turn a blind eye, not surprising. .However, as one of the examiners, the director of the marketing department was very unhappy and felt that it was necessary to take care of him. Even if a star enters their company, they have to abide by their company's rules and regulations, not to mention that this is just a 18th-tier star who has just become popular, and he is not a big name. In his eyes, this evil spirit must never grow!

    The director deliberately chose a few difficult planning cases, and the target groups he faced were very tricky. Even an experienced hand might feel overwhelmed. Unexpectedly, Zhai Siluo thought about it for a few minutes, and quickly pointed out the problems. A sharp revision was given.

    The director embarrassed him professionally, and threw questions with bad eyes.

    "As far as I know, you leave work earlier than your leaders. As an intern, I'm afraid this is not good?"

.Zhai Siluo twitched the corners of his mouth, "I appreciate and admire the leadership's devotion to work. But since the company has stipulated the off-duty time, it is my right to get off work at this point, and I have not delayed any tasks assigned by my superiors. If If you think my attitude is not correct, then I have nothing to say."

    This sentence succeeded in provoking the director's anger.

    "As an intern, do you talk to the leaders like this? I think you are making excuses for your laziness and slack! If it was a real workplace, you would have been fired countless times, and you are not qualified to sit here. !"

    Zhai Siluo smiled, "But aren't I sitting here well now? You can eliminate me so that I can get off work at some point in the future."

.The director is a man in his early forties. He has always treated his subordinates harshly and harshly. He doesn't like being refuted by his opinions. Seeing Zhai Siluo's soft and hard attitude, he is even more angry, his chest heaving up and down.

    "You're just—"

    The HR director next to him was afraid that he would lose his temper in front of the camera, so he hurriedly interjected, "Mr. Zhai, the assessment is over, you can leave."

    Zhai Siluo stood up and walked out of the conference room neither humble nor arrogant.

    It's boring to record this shitty variety show, why don't you just get your lunch and go home and go to sleep.

    Director Liu re-shot the material on the table. If he hadn't thought that there were still shots, he would have let Zhai Siluo go.

    In the conference room, several chief examiners asked the director team to avoid first, and closed the door to start the discussion.

.There is no doubt about Ye Zhi's excellence and hard work, and he will definitely stay. There is still one place left, whether it is for Zhai Siluo or Xiao Yu, there are great differences among the four examiners.

    The Personnel Director is in his early thirties, with short and neat hair, and wears light-colored professional attire. She put down the pen, thought for a few seconds, and suddenly looked at the director of the marketing department, "Mr. Liu, Zhai Siluo's attitude is not as motivated as the other two, but he has completed the tasks assigned to him very well, impeccable, and very efficient. Gao. I think Zhai Siluo should stay."

    Another vice president also echoed him.

    "Yes, Mr. Liu, Jin Yu is being led by my team. That kid works very hard, but his head is too stupid, he can't speak, and he has no business talent at all. Let him do a survey with a client. He can't open his mouth for a long time, he is really not suitable to stay in our company."

    Mr. Liu's face was gloomy, and the veins on his forehead jumped.

.At this time, someone from the director's team knocked on the door and came in to say hello.

    "Mr. Liu, in fact, we also hope that Zhai Siluo can stay here. With him on this show, it will be a topic of conversation. Do you want to be accommodating? Don't care about his attitude..."

    "This kind of playboy is a complete waste of my time!" President Liu was so angry that he dropped his pen and strode out of the office door. Sooner or later, he will give Zhai Siluo a show!

    Fifteen minutes later, the results of the assessment came out, and the personnel announced that Zhai Siluo and Ye Zhi had passed successfully, and Jin Yu was eliminated and needed to move out of the dormitory immediately.

    Although he was mentally prepared, Jin Yu's eyes were still red as he was waiting on the corridor. After living with Zhai Siluo for two weeks, he took care of everything, and now he is particularly reluctant to part with him.

."Why are you crying? You should be happy after the holiday. When you go back, take a good rest for a few days. Look at your dark circles."

    Zhai Siluo put him in the nanny car.

    Xiao Yu waved to him reluctantly, "Mr. Zhai, then you must do your best, you must defeat Ye Zhi and stay until the end."

    "Well, let me borrow your auspicious words."

    In fact, Zhai Siluo didn't want to face that stupid leader for a second. It would be best if he could be eliminated. After all, he had signed a contract, but he could not be passive. Are you wearing small shoes?

    Afraid of what to do, before leaving get off work, the personnel specially informed him and Ye Zhi that the company leader had prepared a welcome party for the two of them. The location was in the restaurant diagonally opposite the company. Please go to Box No. 8 on time at 6:30 to attend the party.

."Sister Zhang, we'll be there on time later, please." Ye Zhi has a delicate appearance and a thin body. She is kind to everyone in the company, with a smile on her face, and almost all the female colleagues in the company He treats him like a brother.

    Therefore, when the party started and several executives asked him to make a toast, he found a reason for being allergic to alcohol, and with an embarrassed shy smile, a female colleague immediately helped him speak kind words.

    "Mr. Liu, let Ye Zhi replace the bar with tea, don't embarrass him."

    Mr. Liu sat in the top position, glanced at Ye Zhi, and regarded it as a default. When Ye Zhi finished drinking tea, he looked at Zhai Siluo sitting beside him with cold eyes.

    "I heard that the two of you are cousins. Since your cousin can't drink, you can always drink as a brother, right?"

.President Liu looked at the handsome and rebellious young man with a bad expression, and his tone was prickly, "Or, you have the courage to fight against the leader in the conference room, but you don't have the courage to drink with the leader?"

    Zhai Siluo was burying his head in eating when he heard this and laughed. He knew that there would be no good fruit to eat when he stayed, but he signed a contract after all, so he couldn't make the scene too ugly.

    He picked up the wine glass and smiled decently, "Mr. Liu is joking. I was a little impulsive when I spoke in the conference room today. I'm really sorry, I'll punish myself for three glasses first."

    As soon as he looked up, he drank the liquor in the glass neatly, poured two more glasses in a row, and drank it all at once.

    Ye Zhi looked at him in surprise.

    He vaguely felt that Zhai Siluo didn't seem to be soft on President Liu, but that he wanted to drink, so he poured it into his mouth so desperately.

.Seeing Zhai Siluo drinking cup after cup, President Liu's face became a little ugly. He was already prepared for Zhai Siluo to fall out with him, but why did this man change his sex again?

    "Mr. Liu, are you still satisfied?" Zhai Siluo had a row of empty wine glasses in front of him. His black eyes had no emotion, but the ends of his eyes were a little red with alcohol.

    "You only respected me, not the other executives." Mr. Liu was expressionless. This man seems to drink well, but he has a way of making him look ugly.

    The director of personnel felt that it was too much to make it difficult for a newcomer. He couldn't help looking at President Liu and persuaded, "Zhai Siluo has also drank a lot, or that's it, let him eat something first."

    President Liu smiled sullenly, "Xiao Zhai, this is the time to test your sincerity towards CC."

.Zhai Siluo twitched the corners of his mouth and brought a whole bottle of white wine directly.

    "It's too much trouble to drink cup by cup, let's just do this, I drank the whole bottle, respect all bosses."

    He picked up the bottle of wine, and before it was brought to his mouth, the harsh ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly rang. Mr. Liu looked at the phone call, his face changed slightly, and he motioned others to be quiet first.

    He stepped aside, answered the phone respectfully, and said in a humble tone, "Secretary Zhou, what's the matter?"

    A few days ago, there were rumors that the big boss would come to visit, but he hadn't seen half a person these days. Now Secretary Zhou called him, does it mean that the big boss is coming?

    The big boss doesn't come to the headquarters several times a year. If he comes to inspect, this is a good opportunity for him to stand out.

    I don't know what was said on the other end, and President Liu's happy expression suddenly became stiff. .After hanging up the phone, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He glanced at Ye Zhi and then Zhai Siluo.

    Secretary Zhou asked him not to embarrass the new intern, but who was he referring to? Secretary Zhou could make a special call to explain only one thing, that is, it has something to do with the big boss. Could it be that the big boss took a fancy to one of them?

    "Xiao Zhai, don't drink anymore." Mr. Liu suddenly changed his face and looked at him with a smile, "I don't think you have eaten much, so let's eat first."

    He turned to Ye Zhi again, with a kind smile on his face, "Xiao Ye, this steamed mandarin fish is delicious, you should try it too."

    No matter, these two little ancestors have to serve well, and no one can offend.

    His sudden change in attitude made Zhai Siluo feel a little nauseous, and it was estimated that the director's team called and said something. .He put down the wine bottle, took a few mouthfuls of food, excused his stomach discomfort, and quickly left the box.

    Next to the tree-lined road full of plane trees, a black Bentley Mulsanne parked under the tree.

    Secretary Zhou looked at the staggering back in the night, and said worriedly, "Mr. Zhuo, do you want me to come over..."

    "No." The man in the back seat was expressionless, but a pair of black eyes fell on the young man by the road without blinking.

    After walking for a while, Zhai Siluo had a headache. The alcohol burned his stomach. What he had just eaten was nauseated, and there was an indescribable nausea in his throat. He supported the tree trunk and squatted beside the trash can. Just as he was about to call the assistant to ask her to pick him up, his stomach suddenly cramped. The phone fell on the ground, he pressed the edge of the trash can, and spit out all the food he just ate.

.After vomiting, he squatted on the ground with a bit of strength, his face was pale, and he picked up the phone whose screen was shattered on the ground. The screen saver photo shows Xiao Jiu squatting on the cat climbing frame and looking at him with his head tilted. There is also a hand on his back, with slender knuckles and white fingertips, which is Shen Zhuoli's hand that accidentally appeared on the screen. He didn't feel so uncomfortable when he woke up in the morning, but now looking at the torn screensaver, his heart was suddenly blocked to death.

    He put the phone back in his pocket and tried to stand up while holding onto the tree trunk. However, after squatting for too long, his knees were numb, and he vomited out of force. , but suddenly his back slammed into a warm embrace.

    The man's somewhat helpless voice sounded in his ear, "Why did you drink again?"

    After all, he couldn't bear to watch in the car, and when Zhai Siluo vomited while holding the trash can, he got out of the car.

.Zhai Siluo thought he was dreaming. He thought that after that night, Shen Zhuoli must be very disappointed in him and would not come to him again. But he still came, and it was when he was vulnerable and needed people to rely on him the most.

    "Raise your face." Shen Zhuoli took out a wet tissue and wiped his face. Zhai Siluo leaned in his arms, his heart was sweet and sour. After a while, he hoarse his voice and said softly, "Brother Zhuoli, I'm sorry."

    Shen Zhuoli smiled.

    "What's wrong with you? Just because I confessed that day, you didn't respond to me?"

    Zhai Siluo didn't speak, but the guilt in his eyes explained everything.

    "It's just such a trivial matter that you need to worry about your conscience? Xiao Luo, you think I'm too vulnerable. There are thousands of unsatisfactory things in the world, so what's the point of me?" .What's more, it is already a great luck for him to stay by his side in this life, take care of him, and accompany him.

    "Get in the car first and go back to take a shower."

    Zhai Siluo wanted to say something, but seeing Shen Zhuoli's stern brows and eyes, he turned to talk to the secretary, and closed his mouth again.

    Back at the villa, he dragged his tired body to the bathroom to take a shower. Shen Zhuoli was worried about him, afraid that he would drown like last time, so he guarded outside. When he saw Zhai Siluo coming out wearing a bathrobe, he regretted it again.

    The handsome young man's brows and eyes were steamy, his black hair was wet, and the dark blue bathrobe was open at will, only the loose belt around his waist. The heat made his bare skin red, and he was barefoot without shoes, revealing his straight and slender calves.

    "Remember to blow your hair before going to sleep." Shen Zhuoli's eyes moved with difficulty from his neckline.

.Zhai Siluo nodded. Although he was terribly sleepy, he still listened to his words and went to dry his hair first. His stomach was empty, and his esophagus was burned by the excess stomach acid. After putting down the hairdryer, he lay on the bed in discomfort. There are stomach medicines in the bedside tables on both sides all the year round.

    "Where is the medicine?"

    "The drawer below... No, the one in the middle!"

    By the time he realized what it was, it was too late. Shen Zhuoli opened the bottom chest of drawers and looked at it for a while.

    The can of fruit candy he gave Zhai Siluo lay in it intact, with an envelope pressed underneath.

    The author has something to say: the update time will be changed to nine o'clock every night in the future, please understand.
