Chapter 35(2/2)
Wen Xiaohui made excuses and didn't go to Luo Yi's place for several days. The two of them kept calling and texting each other, but Wen Xiaohui just didn't dare to see him, so he had to put it off day by day.
On this day, Li Shuo asked Wen Xiaohui to have dinner and chose a rather stylish Western restaurant.
As soon as the two met, Li Shuo said with some surprise: "You look a little tired, are you too busy?" He smiled slyly, "You still don't wear makeup?"
Wen Xiaohui smiled and said: "I really haven't changed today. It's too late. I'm really too busy recently."
Li Shuo smiled: "Your skin is very good. In fact, you don't need those things. Just pay attention to rest."
"It will be nice to be busy during this period. Our boss is recruiting senior stylists and makeup artists. If we find someone who can take care of things, I will be relaxed."
"This also means that the boss values you, which is a good thing."
"Yes." Wen Xiaohui stretched, "Brother Li, I want to share good news with you."
"What's the good news?" Li Shuo poured him a glass of wine himself.
"I'm going to the United States for further study."
"Oh? We will send them out at public expense."
"Yes, the boss said that I am not qualified enough and should study. This opportunity is rare, so I should go, right?"
"People have to learn to seize opportunities, so of course you should go."
Wen Xiaohui blinked: "You won't be able to see me for a year."
"Not necessarily. I go back to the United States several times every year. Are you in New York?"
"Oh, I forgot, your home is in the United States. It's in New York, so we can still meet."
"Of course, if you are free, I can also be your guide and take you to eat and play."
"Wow, good."
Li Shuo looked at his cheerful smile, and his eyes couldn't help but be filled with smiles.
After eating, the two of them took a walk along the pedestrian street. Both sides of the street were lined with small handicraft shops and specialty shops. As a local, Wen Xiaohui had almost never gone shopping, but with Li Shuo, he was probably willing to visit a bookstore.
Li Shuo casually bought a bracelet of white clam beads and gave it to Wen Xiaohui. It cost more than 300 yuan. It was not expensive and the style was beautiful. It was a completely worry-free gift. Wen Xiaohui liked it very much.
The two talked a lot that day and learned about each other's families, growth, and experiences. Compared to Li Shuo, Wen Xiaohui felt that his experience was too monotonous. He was just like most of his peers around him, studying, growing up, and working.
Li Shuo, graduated from an Ivy League school, organized democracy, traveled around the world, taught in Africa, went on snow mountain adventures, returned to China to start a business, and in just over twenty years of life, he compared with others’ forty or fifty years of experience.
Such a handsome, elegant, mature, and wise man was so fascinating that Wen Xiaohui could not help but fall in love with Li Shuo, but he always felt that at this moment, his heart was imprisoned by something, and there was no trace of the first time he met him.
When I arrived in Lishuo, I felt the freedom to get acquainted without any scruples.
He knew that the thing that imprisoned him was called "Luo Yi". Luo Yi was now like a dark cloud, floating above his head, making him uneasy and unable to distract himself from thinking about other things.
After the date, Li Shuo sent Wen Xiaohui downstairs to his house.
Wen Xiaohui said: "Thank you, Brother Li."
Li Shuo looked at him with a smile: "Do you remember this is our first date?"
"the third time?"
"Yes, if I don't kiss you on the third date, will it look like I'm not polite?"
Wen Xiaohui was slightly startled. Under the gaze of Li Shuo's pair of deep and beautiful eyes, his face turned hot with shame. Originally, he wanted to say a few charming words, but it turned out that he underestimated Li Shuo's charm and too much.
He overestimated his ability to adapt, and the result was that he couldn't say a word.
Li Shuo smiled, leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss on Wen Xiaohui's cheek: "Good night, Xiaohui."
Wen Xiaohui had the illusion that there was smoke coming out of his head: "Night, good night." He opened the car door and rushed out of the car.
After returning home, Wen Xiaohui couldn't help but scream, and Feng Yuehua shouted in the bathroom: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, just scream." Wen Xiaohui rushed back to the room, his body trembling with excitement. For the first time, he experienced the long-lost joy of love with Li Shuo.
Wen Xiaohui hadn't been to Luo Yi for a long time. Although the two were in contact every day, Luo Yi was so smart and sensitive that he probably noticed something. One day, he appeared in Juxing without any warning and scared him.
Jump.
"How did you come?"
Luo Yi smiled and said: "Seeing that you have been too busy recently, I sent you some tonic soup. I didn't buy it from outside, I made it myself."
Wen Xiaohui suddenly felt a little soft-hearted: "Why did you bring it here specially? I can just go over and drink it."
Luo Yi's voice was slightly aggrieved: "Do you have time to come over? You haven't been here for half a month. It has never been so long."
"I'm really busy during this period. I'm in charge of the beauty department right now. I have to get familiar with a lot of things. I lead people out five times a week."
"Congratulations, Brother Xiaohui, you are now more and more able to take charge of your own business."
Wen Xiaohui smiled and said, "Just wait for me here for a while. I'll go back with you to have soup today." After hiding for two weeks, he was finally able to face Luo Yi calmly.
Luo Yi suddenly grabbed Wen Xiaohui's hand: "Who gave you this bracelet?"
Wen Xiaohui was stunned: "How do you know it was given by someone else?"
"You either wear famous brands or fake famous brands. You don't have this kind of cheap bracelet in your jewelry box. Unless it's a gift from a special person, you won't wear it at all." Luo Yi smiled slightly, "I don't understand yet.
Your preference makes you pay enough attention to it that you want to wear the gift from him. Let me guess...could it be from Li Shuo?"
Wen Xiaohui's palms were sweaty and his heart was beating fast. He didn't know whether he should answer because if he lied, he would be exposed.
Luo Yi showed a clear expression: "So it's really Li Shuo who sent it." He narrowed his eyes slightly, "He has already started giving you gifts. You guys are making good progress."
Wen Xiaohui suddenly felt a pain in his wrist. He shrank subconsciously. Luo Yi immediately said, "I'm sorry, does it hurt you?"
"It's okay." Wen Xiaohui felt indescribably flustered, "I'll go and get busy first."
Luo Yi looked at his back, his expression turned cold almost instantly.
After get off work, Wen Xiaohui rode Luo Yi's bicycle home, and the two of them barely spoke a word on the way.
After entering the house, Luo Yi laid out soup and food and invited him to eat, as considerate as ever.
While eating, Luo Yi saw that Wen Xiaohui's wrist was empty: "Why don't you wear it anymore? That bracelet is very nice."
Wen Xiaohui felt a little scared: "I just wear it for fun."
"I'll give you one you like another day. Will you wear it?"
"Yes, why don't you wear it?" Wen Xiaohui said pretending to be relaxed.
Luo Yi looked at him: "Brother Xiaohui, if you had a boyfriend, wouldn't you be even busier than now, and you wouldn't have time to see me?"
"...I don't know either. Li Shuo and I are just friends now. It's too early to say this."
"You are so busy at work now. If you want to fall in love, you have to set aside extra time. As a result, I will have less time to see you. When I think of this, I don't want you to fall in love at all."
Wen Xiaohui didn't know how to answer the conversation. All he could think about now was Luca, Mr. Luo, and Sydney's ex-husband. The more he looked at Luo Yi, the more frightened he felt. How could this be? He didn't want to be afraid of Luo Yi. He liked Luo Yi and valued him.
Luo Yi, who regarded Luo Yi as an important member of the family, did not want to turn his feelings for this boy into fear!
"Brother Xiaohui?" Luo Yi looked at his stiff facial expression and couldn't help but reach out to touch him.
Before Wen Xiaohui's brain could react, he had already reflexively stepped back and avoided Luo Yi's hand.
Luo Yi's hand froze in mid-air, and an embarrassing silence filled the air.
Luo Yi retracted his hand, looked at him quietly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" There was a hint of indignity in his tone.
Wen Xiaohui wiped his face: "There is something I have never dared to tell you...but I still have to tell you."
"What's up?"
Wen Xiaohui said quickly: "Liu Xing plans to send me to the United States to study for a year. After I come back, I can take over the beauty department."
Luo Yi was silent for two seconds, then suddenly laughed: "What did I think it was? Isn't this a good thing?"
Wen Xiaohui felt relieved. He almost asked about Xue Li's ex-husband and Luca just now, but luckily he held it in. He forced a smile: "Yeah, it's a good opportunity, but I'm afraid you won't be able to let me go...
…”
"Of course I can't let you go. I even want to go with you. Unfortunately, I have to go to school. But a year is only a short time. I can still visit you during the holidays." Luo Yi grabbed Wen Xiaohui's hand and put it next to his face.
He said, "I will definitely miss you very much, but I can't hinder your development."
"That's good... I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it, so I never dared to say it. My mother also agreed, and I'm about to start applying for a visa."
Luo Yi smiled lightly and said: "Brother Xiaohui, I am very happy for you. When you come back, you will become even more powerful."
