Chapter 141: Shield (1/2)

Xia Ye coaxed him for a long time last night before he heard the sound of Tang Jinyu falling asleep on the phone. He didn't want to hang up immediately. After listening for a while, he whispered goodnight.

He can have a good night's sleep tonight.

Probably because he heard such sweet words before going to bed, his dreams were very different from usual. The little guy of his family ran around in his dreams, wearing the same pajamas as in the photo, with soft and fluffy hair and a pinch. If he smiles at him, he will also run over and give him a strong hug, and not let go.

…

When Xia Ye fell asleep, it was rare for his eyes to darken, thinking about those in his dream, and it took him a long time to relax.

He doesn’t know if he can say the secret thing in his heart, but at least not now, he is not ready yet, and the little guy has to grow up a little bit.

Otherwise, it would be like in a dream, he would feel soft when he cried, and would not be able to bear it.

Xia Ye got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and quickly packed himself up. After all, after yesterday's level, he finally made some substantial progress. He could feel that Minister Jiang and the others are still in the stage of testing them. Their final paper was about their competition in the previous three days. He handed in a satisfactory answer, and next it’s time to take the next step and start to approach the real task.

The breakfast served in the building is very rich and full of flavors. When Xia Ye punched in and entered, he suddenly remembered the words his brother had said to him before. It seemed that he was in Harbin at that time. His brother was laying on the hotel bed and chatting with him and asked him. Does the company have a canteen? Does the boss need to line up for food? Xia Ye ordered a portion of fried noodles with his plate, thinking that he could have staff open a restaurant once he came back.

Han Yichen came soon too. He yawned and walked a few steps and asked for the same. He said to him, ”Morning, I am so sleepy. I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep at all when I went back. I played with my mobile phone, and watched it all over again all night…”

Xia Ye said: ”Didn't call home?”

Han Yichen: ”…”

Han Yichen: ”Can I call directly without applying?”

Xia Ye said: ”Yeah, isn't it just for making a phone call? Or else you can do something for us. Just be careful not to say anything that shouldn't be said.”

Han Yichen collapsed, he didn't expect it at all!

But Comrade Xiao Han soon comforted himself again, and shrugged: ”Forget it, it's midnight, my parents are also asleep, and the stars is probably also getting some beauty sleep, you don't know, little girl loves beauty now. Before I came, didn’t I have to spend a few nights working overtime to do the project? She asked me to put on some anti-aging eye cream and said that my dark circles are too heavy. If I had known how it would be this time, I would’ve brought two bottles, I stayed up so many times here…”

Xia Ye asked, ”Does it work?”

Han Yichen was stunned, ”I'm just joking, I didn't bring it… No, I never bought it, Lao Xia, are you so exquisite?”

Xia Ye thought for a while and said, ”Fortunately, I'm just a little curious.”

Han Yichen saw Old Ape coming over, and when he took the opportunity to get close, he leaned in and whispered to him. The two of them were muttering, still secretly watching Xia Ye. Old Ape lowered his voice and winked his eyebrows and said, ”I told you a long time ago, right?”

Han Yichen was puzzled, but also whispered: ”He is younger than me, only twenty-five or twenty six years old, why is he so focused on maintenance? He is young now, and not old at all…”

Old Ape hissed immediately, ”Don't say that word, Xia Ye will be upset if he heard this.”

Han Yichen nodded carefully, ”Well, I will pay attention.”

Old Ape and Han Yichen took their breakfast and went to sit in their old position and ate with Xia Ye. Not long after they sat down, they heard someone standing there and asking, ”Is there anyone sitting here?”

Xia Ye raised his head and glanced at Qin Ke.

There was a long table on their side, and it was not full. Qin Ke had a good temper with them. He stood there and waited patiently. He sat down after hearing that there was no one. There was a slice of toast and a glass of juice on his dinner plate. When he put it down, the ice cubes in the glass collided and made a ”crash” sound.

Qin Ke sat there and said, ”I thought for a long time last night, and suddenly remembered who you are.”

Xia Ye was unmoved.

Qin Ke did not touch the food on his plate, and looked at him with interest, ”So you are x. I grew up listening to your story and admired it for a long time.”

Old Ape on the opposite side almost spewed out a mouthful of rice, and he didn't dare to look at Xia Ye after a few coughs. The stubble of eye cream in the morning had not passed, and it was catching up to him again.

Qin Ke added another sentence, ”Do you know where ‘A Little Fish’ is? I have been looking for him for a long time.”

As soon as this was said, the whole table became quiet.

Xia Ye looked up at him, ”Was it you who checked him?”

Qin Ke nodded and said innocently: ”I just saw the post he was looking for someone on the forum. I thought he was particularly interesting. I want to be friends with him. Senior, can you…”

Xia Ye twisted his eyebrows and interrupted him: ”No.”

Qin Ke smiled and said, ”I haven't finished talking yet.”

Xia Ye said coldly: ”There is nothing to say.”

Qin Ke pushed the dinner plate and leaned back and sat there, raising his eyebrows and said: ”No, how old is he? Who is he? You are so strict about making friends? Let me guess. Is it a relative? A friend? It can’t be someone in your company. I checked it. He should be still studying. As for the approximate location of the school, it should be…” Qin Ke whispered an approximate location, which he had checked before. The frequent activity range of the little koi coming out.

When these words came out, the faces of Old Ape and Han Yichen sitting opposite were not very good-looking, Old Ape looked solemn, and Han Yichen was fully guarded.

Qin Ke glanced at them, then smiled suddenly: ”I guessed it right?”

Han Yichen scolded: ”Are you sick? Don’t you know it’s illegal to check people's privacy?”

Qin Ke immediately said: ”I don't mean that, I just want to make friends simply, and his skills are pretty good, and his defenses are pretty good…”

Xia Ye slapped his chopsticks on the table and got up to pull his collar. The glass of ice juice in Qin Ke's hand was shaken and spilled onto the table. It flowed down his hand and got on his clothes. Qin Ke stopped talking and looked up at Xia Ye, Xia Ye also looked directly at him, neither of them gave way to each other.

Among the people who came to dine was someone next to Minister Jiang. He immediately came over and asked, ”What's the matter? If you have something to say, speak slowly.”

Xia Ye stared at him for a while, then let go and said, ”Don't move him.”

The mediator didn't understand what he meant, but Xia Ye's face was so dark that he didn't dare to ask. He could only look at Qin Ke and ask a few questions in a low voice.

Qin Ke was almost beaten just now, but also restrained a few points, raised his hand and said, ”I didn’t mean it. I just want to have a good relationship with Captain Xia and learn from him. There are still more people who need to ask him for advice in the future.”

Xia Ye gave him a cold look, got up and left.

Old Ape and Han Yichen at the back also looked wary, especially Han Yichen. When passing by, he didn't calm down and deliberately hit Qin Ke with his shoulder. The two people were similar in height, and Qin Ke was knocked away a bit. After they left, he rubbed his shoulders without feeling angry, and followed with a smile.
