70 – He came up to hold hands, and even took the initiative to stick together.
Just three days of school this week, and it’s time to enjoy the National Day holiday.
After entering into October, there is only one month left before the Brand and Culture Category of the Jewelry Design Competition. So these days, An Xing has been in the studio, doing the final polishing of his design drawings.
An Xing’s biological mother, Ms. Gu Lan, was born in an orphanage and was not well equipped to further her education in the arts. But even so, in her spare time, she would doodle and draw in her sketchbook. According to An Rong, in recent years, Ms. Gu has also received orders online to do some illustration designs, thanks to the rapid development of the Internet.
After getting a few of Ms. Gu’s sketchbooks, An Xing looked through them page by page, as if he could touch his own mother through time and space through those black and white lines. These paintings also gave him an idea.
He decided to design a piece of jewelry for his two mothers.
In his studio, the boy sits by the window, eyes downcast as he sketches and adds details to the design. When he does this kind of thing, he can’t feel the passage of time, and he is always absorbed in it.
The daylight at the window gradually shifted, and the light in the room dimmed. What finally interrupted the silence of the room was a phone call from Xiao Rui.
An Xing was the only one in the studio, so he answered the phone and stood up to move his shoulders and legs.
“Mr. Xiao, what’s wrong?”
The young man’s voice was clear and bright, always soft and smiling when he talked to his acquaintances. Xiao Rui was in a somewhat unhappy mood, but when he heard this voice, the unhappiness seemed to dissipate a little.
“What are you doing?”
“ Drawing!”
Speaking of this, An Xing got excited and grabbed the cell phone and talked to Xiao Rui.
“My design will be finished soon! Mr. Xiao, when I finish it, I will send you the draft to see!
Xiao Rui’s voice showed some satisfaction.
“There is no need to hurry, you finish it properly, I have confidence in you.” He paused before rambling on.
He paused and then asked carelessly, “Do you still remember Xu Xin?”
Xu Xin?
This name is a bit familiar, An Xing thought for a while and remembered. He interned in his own jewelry company during the summer, and one of the interns in the design department was this Xu Xin.
An Xing was not a person who loved to cause trouble, and he was very kind to everyone. People know that he is the son of An Zhaoming, and no matter what they think behind their backs, they are very gentle with him on the surface. The whole design department, on the surface, is quite peaceful.
Until the selection quota for the Jewelry Design Competition came out, and An Xing got one of the quotas allocated by the company for the Brand and Culture Group Competition.
Immediately after that, someone in the company said that An Xing might not be An Zhaoming’s son, and the atmosphere in the design department changed immediately. And its at this time that Xu Xin provoked him in public.
There are too many things that happened in the last month, and Xu Xin’s provocation is just a small thing that is too insignificant. An Xing also recalled for a while before remembering this person.
He responded, “I remember, what happened to him?”
“He finished his internship and left An Ning Jewelry to go to Wei Qing Jewelry Company.”
An Xing’s movements paused, and he made a “mocking” sound.
He has an impression of Wei Qing Jewelry, which is the jewelry company where Su Yiran interned during the summer. Although this company is small, it is also famous in the industry. Su Yiran was able to get in, and must have been stuffed in by An Hao.
As for that Xu Xin, he first heard about hugging the wrong child then jumped out to find trouble, and now he went to Wei Qing Jewelry… Ha, interesting.
If it’s just a person who went to Wei Qing Jewelry, it shouldn’t be worth it for Xiao Rui to make a special phone call to notify, An Xing curiously asked:
“Then what? What else did he do?”
“Wei qing Jewelry attaches great importance to him, and is about to give him a new product sale.”
Now, An Xing was really surprised.
Every year, many interns enter large companies, but the designer industry is relatively special, there is still a threshold to enter the profession. Even if they pass the internship and stay, they still need to study for a long time before they can design new products independently.
For designers who are new to the industry, unless they are extremely talented and happen to be appreciated by those in charge, it is extremely rare for someone like Xu Xin to be selected to launch new products just after joining the company.
An Xing felt that even if he were to be replaced by someone from the An family, he might not be able to make a mark in the company just by virtue of his talent – Xu Xin didn’t have the same talent as he did.
“It seems that he has been appreciated by someone important, so congratulations to him for getting what he wanted.”
After a moment of surprise, An Xing did not take it any more seriously. This person has left An Ning Jewelry, it has nothing to do with him, just treat him as a stranger.
Xiao Rui on the other side of the phone opened his mouth and choked, unable to speak.
The reason why he made this phone call is because when Xu Xin resigned, he was extremely arrogant and had a strange look in his eyes. An Xing did not go to the company after the start of the school year, but Xiao Rui always felt that Xu Xin’s changes have something to do with the teenager, so he wanted to remind the other side.
The result is that it is worthy of you, ah little fool, as always, a big heart.
*
An Xing really did not put Xu Xin on his mind, and was so focused on waiting for the arrival of the vacation that he didn’t even bother to pay attention to Su Yiran’s weirdness. Now he and Su Yiran are completely torn up, and they don’t even bother to look at each other when they meet.
In the past, they were really good friends, but Su Yiran bad words to the roommate, or Su Yiran in front of the An Rong and Lu Tian Shen giving him eye candy, have touched the bottom line of An Xing.
He doesn’t care if people get close to him because of their interests, but he absolutely can’t tolerate people stepping on him to get to the top.
The things of the last life haven’t happened yet, and in this life, Su Yiran no longer has the opportunity to step on him to please An Rong. If this person is honest, then An Xing will not take the initiative to do something, but if this person is a monster,…….
The young man clenched his small fists, eyes determined.
No, don’t bully the poor young man! He will bully back!
His cell phone rang and An Xing grabbed the phone to see, and happily carried his bag and rushed out of the dormitory. When he turned the corner of the stairs, he saw Lu Tian Shen standing expressionless at the door of the dormitory building.
Just now, when he was going downstairs, he met his classmates and said a few words, so he was delayed for a few minutes. An Xing did not expect that the man would not sit in the car, but actually walked downstairs to pick him up. Although it is the end of September, the summer in Tang City has always been long, and the temperature today is nearly 30 degrees.
Although he is a boss, when Lu Tian Shen is not working, he will not wear a suit every day. Today, the man was wearing simple short sleeves and cropped pants, revealing his beautifully structured arms and legs. The man’s aura stood out, and even when he stood in silence in the dormitory building, he didn’t fit in here.
The man’s body seems to be surrounded by a vacuum, no one would get close to within two meters, as if forming a black hole in the forbidden zone of life.
An Xing tilted his head and called out from the staircase.
“Shen gege”
The dead “black hole” came to life, and when the man lifted his head to look at it, ripples appeared in his dark, wave-free eyes, as if a starlight had fallen in.
In the past, when An Xing saw this scene, he would not think much about it. But now An Xing realized that Lu Tian Shen’s reaction was not because he was bored of waiting, and seeing him brought him into high spirits – or rather, it was true, but the spirit was not because he was no longer bored.
Rather, it was because the person he saw was him.
Lu Tian Shen walked over and took the backpack from the young man’s hand, and couldn’t help but look at the other person a few times.
What’s the matter with this little fool? The little curly hair on top of his head is about to stand straight up on his head.
An Xing smiled and did not say a word, after handing over the small bag with a smile he came over and grabbed the man’s hand.
Lu Tian Shen: ……
He mechanically walked a few steps forward. The Boss, who usually never froze even when he was battling it out in the business center, now looked down sluggishly at the teenager’s hand that had grabbed his own.
“Hurry up, Shen gege, it’s so hot!”
The teenager was still complaining and shook the man’s hand without realizing it, urging him to get into the car and turn on the air conditioner.
Lu Tian Shen looked at his own hand and couldn’t help but fall into confusion as well.
Yes, is he too reserved? After all, they had often held hands before, so the boy felt there was no difference. After being confessed, could they still hold hands?
After being dragged a few steps by the young man, the man’s eyes slowly narrowed, and a glimmer of light flashed in his dark eyes.
Since Xingxing feels that there is no need to avoid suspicion in the pursuit stage after confession…then maybe he can do a little more. However, before that, he still needs to observe again and make a plan.
An Xing had no idea what the man was thinking, and was very happy after getting in the car. When he held Brother Shen’s hand, it was different, it felt a little sweet.
As for the fact that he is still pursuing him, why did he hold hands… Hey, he has been tested, and he doesn’t feel uncomfortable holding hands with Brother Shen, so of course it’s nothing if he holds hands!
When Lu Tian Shen sat on the driver’s seat, he saw the young man staring at him with round eyes, looking at him with bated breath. After a moment of staring at the boy, the man suddenly realized, leaned over and fastened the seatbelt for him.
Before he could retreat, Lu Tian Shen felt a heat on the side of his face, as if he was pressed by something, and rubbed hard.
An Xing came over and put his side of the face against Lu Tian Shen’s.
He wanted to learn from his cousin’s husband and kiss his Shen gege, but unfortunately, his brother said that they have not yet begun to talk about love, so they can not kiss now. So he could only stick to it first, and sure enough, he didn’t feel any discomfort.
The young man stepped back and looked at the man with an innocent face.
“Let’s go, Shen gege, we’ll go back and give Hua Hua a bath”.
“…Aren’t you going to have dinner?”
An Xing then remembered that they had agreed to have dinner first and then give the cat a bath at noon tomorrow. He looked away nonchalantly and spoke harshly.
“Eat, I’m just saying that I’m going back to have dinner and then give Hua Hua a bath tomorrow!”
Lu Tian Shen’s eyes became more subtle.
Ever since he was surprised by the little fool at the banquet, he had reflected on it and felt that he was a bit too indecisive on the matter of feelings. Things that could obviously be resolved by playing straight ball, but he actually let it drag on for so long that he could simply be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life.
He finally learned from the pain and decided to take the initiative, such as entering the dormitory to greet him when he could wait in the car. But who knew, the little fool would be in the atmosphere this time.
He came up to hold hands, and even took the initiative to stick together.
This wave of operations made Lu Tianchen doubt whether he had embarrassed the boss. But now it seems that this little fool is actually nervous.
Thinking about it, the little fool has never been attracted to anyone, and now he could agree to allow him to pursue,I am afraid that he listened to someone’s idea in the family before getting close to him – Lu Tian Shen has no doubt that his confession of love to An Xing thing, has been in the An family and the Shen family, spreading to everyone.
Lu Tian Shen can even guess that, in these two families, in addition to Shen Qing, and the second cousin’s husband, whom he still does not know as a person, there will never be a third person to give the little fool the idea of letting him get close to himself.
The man happily put on his seatbelt, started the car, and took him to dinner.
Cocoa love brain An Xing simply does not know, his operation has let the man completely see the logic behind it. During the dinner, he still pretends to be unintentional, a little touching the man’s hand, a little of going to be brushed against.
Lu Tianchen was a normal man after all. Being so close to his sweetheart, if he hadn’t seen that there was no lust in the little fool’s eyes but only intimacy, he would have been unable to behave as a polite person.
After the meal, he didn’t eat much, so he drank a lot of ice juice.
An Xing is not only satisfied with the appetite, but also stuck with his Shen gege a few times, and the whole person is very satisfied. When he returned home and played with his kitten, he felt even more healed.
“Are you busy these few days?”
Lu Tian Shen changed into comfortable loungewear and sat next to the teenager, one long leg slightly bent up, the lines outlined by the clothes were full of power.
An Xing’s gaze shifted a few times on the man’s leg, and calmly moved away, focusing on the little kitten with flowery arms that spread out its limbs to expose its belly.
“It’s okay, I’m not very busy, I’ve been perfecting the design lately.”
“Is there anything I can help you with?”
The teenager’s beautiful white hand was sunk into the fur, rubbing the kitten’s soft belly in a gentle motion, causing the cat to meow. The young man’s face also unknowingly put on a silly smile.
The picture was so beautiful that the man couldn’t help but come closer and look at the boy beside him with downcast eyes.
“No, it’s nothing, I can handle it all ……”
The heat of the crimson color climbed slowly from the young man’s neck to his ears. The air conditioning in the room didn’t seem to be working too well, and it was getting a little hot.
Or maybe the man was talking in his ear and his breath was too hot.
“…… Shen gege you do not lean so close, your home air conditioning is too bad!”
An Xing pushed the man, and the cat purred in dissatisfaction, whining and commanding the human to continue to stroke it, and the teenager went back to stroking the cat in a hurry.
Damn it, Brother Shen is such a scheming boss. Why are you pursuing this so hard and then suddenly coming over to stick with me?
Too close! An Xing thought seriously.
