1.7
Yangxin is having a dilemma.
The day ends and everyone is starting to leave the office. His dilemma starts when Ms. Chu asks him where he lives.
Yangxin just looks at her as if she is crazy until he just laughs it off and says his house location is a secret. Ms. Chu laughs along with him and bids Yangxin her goodbye.
The latter immediately went to their office and slams the door shut. Qin Sheng is having his afternoon coffee when he heard the door slamming.
He worriedly stares at Yangxin as the latter paces around the room, unknowingly what to do.
Qin Sheng puts his coffee mug on his table while he approaches Yangxin, hoping to calm the latter down.
But when the CEO heard the muttering of "house" and "location", Qin Sheng thinks he already has the mild thought of what the latter is having a problem with.
It is a fact that Yangxin is homeless and Qin Sheng forgets to tell him that he would be living with him until he finds a new home.
He taps the young man as he flinches in surprise. He turns to his side and sees the CEO.
"Mr. Lin, what are you doing in our office?"
Qin Sheng chuckles and it made Yangxin looks around the room and sees the luscious white couch with light brown color pillows, the white-colored marble table in the middle, the CEO's grey table and his computer, and the piles of papers on top of him.
Yangxin shrieks in response as he looks at Qin Sheng in shock. That's when the latter realizes that he is inside the office of the CEO and the door that he slams is the CEO's door.
He steps back a little bit until he felt something cold on his back. He turns around and sees the grey walls of the office. Yangxin gulps and Qin Sheng clears his throat.
"I forgot to tell you something earlier."
Yangxin stares at the CEO with wide eyes as the latter waits for him to continue. Qin Sheng blushes slightly when Yangxin stares at him with his innocent eyes. He can't take how innocent Yangxin is and would want to kiss him already.
But the young CEO also knows that kissing him this early in their lives would only make their relationship awkward than anything else.
And Qin Sheng doesn't want that to happen. He doesn't want this relationship to go sour since Yangxin is the first guy who made Qin Sheng's heart beats fast when they first met.
The young CEO had never felt such a feeling before. Even though he had met with a few suitors and potential wives in his past years, whatever he feels for Yangxin is different from the rest.
It is more pure and innocent.
And the young CEO would want to keep it that way, for as long as he can.
Yangxin is still waiting for the young CEO's statement or whatever the thing that he forgot to tell him when Mr. Wang entered the office with his paper bags and shopping bags at hand.
He had a flushed face and he looks like he had seen a ghost after running a non-stop triathlon from the mall to the office building. His expression made Yangxin thinks of what could've happened to the CEO's secretary.
"Ah, finally. Thank you so much, Mr. Wang. Can you please ask Mr. Shun to prepare the car? Thank you again. You can go home after that."
Mr. Wang nods and immediately went downstairs before going straight to the bathroom to wash his eyes. He needs to bleach them, too. After what he had seen from the shopping bags, he won't do anything that the CEO would ask ever gain.
Even if he pays him thrice the amount of his salary. It is too much for the twenty-seven years old man. True, that he already had a wife. But they never did such things before.
The things inside the bags made him question his masculinity. He just shakes his head and hopes he would forget everything that he saw.
He made his way to the garage and told Mr. Shun about what the CEO asked him to do and made his way home.
Meanwhile, back with Yangxin and the young CEO. Qin Sheng stares at Yangxin with a smile on his face as he asks the young man to carry the shopping bags while he waits for him by the door.
Yangxin obliged even though he is not quite sure as to why the CEO would want that to happen until he realizes that he is his personal assistant.
Yangxin almost face palmed himself as he goes out of the office with bags in his hands.
The latter is still curious as to what the CEO was about to say before Mr. Wang enters the scene but he doesn't want the CEO to think of him as someone who doesn't respect privacy.
It's just that, he knows he is involved in whatever that is.
Yangxin's thoughts were cut when he heard the office door's lock click and it swings open, revealing the young CEO that Yangxin had been crushing ever since he could remember.
The CEO asked him to follow him to the car where Mr. Shun is waiting by the entrance of the office building. When the driver spots them going out of the office, he immediately opens the door for them.
Yangxin is reluctant to enter the car but Qin Sheng encourages him to do so. The latter only nods and enters the car while Mr. Shun places all of the shopping bags in the trunk of the car.
Qin Sheng and Yangxin sit side by side at the back seat and when everything is okay, Mr. Shun starts to drive away from the office.
The car ride is silent. Only the radio playing is being heard from the inside. The busy streets of Shanghai start to open their heart to the people as the lights start to flicker and the people start to swarm the place.
Yangxin just watches everything from the window of the car. As it passes one of the restaurants, someone spotted him and calls out his name. But Yangxin did not hear the voice and the car starts to ride away.
The person who called out Yangxin takes out her phone from her pocket and takes a picture of the car that he is riding. She would like to know who it belongs to.
She misses Yangxin so much and would like to apologize for the things that she did to him.
She sighs as her mother calls upon her and asks who she called; she just shakes her head and told her mother that it was just a friend.
She doesn't want them to know. She is not ready to tell them about what she saw.
She enters the restaurant and puts a lock pattern on her phone, in case her other brothers would want to open it.
*I will find you, Yangxin.*
