Chapter 49 Zhou Xiao and Shen Xinglan (1/2)
Shen Xinglan pretended not to hear Le Yi's proposal, but he was aware that something was going beyond his control.
”Tell everyone, we will start investigating the subsidiary tomorrow.” Shen Xinglan gave instructions to Shen II at 2 o'clock in midnight.
Shen II asked, ”Do I have to call Shen III back?” If they went out, they would be shorthanded with only him around.
”Where is Shen I?” Shen Xinglan suddenly remembered that he still had questions to ask his stupid subordinate.”
Shen II stuttered and said carefully, ”He came back, but you sent him back...”
”Call him now, I want to see him before I leave.”
Snapped! Realizing the phone was hung, Shen II swallowed the words back that he was unable to speak.
Early in the next morning, A Miao heard the noises in the corridor. She turned over and continued sleeping. Le Yi was standing downstairs with his arms crossed and watching Shen Xinglan lingering up and down.
”What are you doing?”
Shen Xinglan unnaturally looked at A Miao's room. ”Is this woman a pig? Why hasn't she gotten up?”
”Shen II told me that you are going to inspect the subsidiaries. It's too sudden.”
Shen Xinglan seriously walked downstairs and looked at Le Yi. ”Temporary work arrangements. By the way, how long will you stay here?”
”By the time when you come back, I will leave.” Le Yi shrugged his shoulders. ”As your good friend, I have an obligation to remind you that even if you run into outer space, you can't escape from it.”
Shen Xinglan walked past him. ”In that case, I have to eliminate the people who influence me.”
”Shen!” Le Yi called him. ”Why do you torture yourself?”
”You don't understand.” Shen Xinglan closed his eyes. ”I will have only one woman in my life, Shanshan. I will never allow others to steal her position from my heart, never...”
Shen Xinglan clenched his fist and left. Le Yi shook his head and sighed, ”When can you undo the knot in your mind?”
As for A Miao, there was nothing more relaxing than Shen Xinglan was not around. She studied, ate, and slept every day. The only change was that she and Le Yi became more familiar.
”Shen is coming back tomorrow.” When she was having dinner tonight, Le Yi reminded her.
A Miao was stunned and blurted out, ”Tonight? It's too fast.”
”It has been ten days.” Le Yi couldn't help but laugh. ”You have already ignored what I did to you before. Why can't you forgive Shen?”
”That's not the same.” A Miao wiped her mouth. ”You rarely lose your temper and you are polite to everyone. Even if I don't like you, I will not be angry with someone who smiles every day.”
”What's more, you didn't do anything unforgivable to me.” A Miao curled her lips. ”As for Shen Xinglan, I don't hold a grudge against him. To tell the truth, I am grateful to him, at least he set me free.”
Le Yi nodded. ”I understand.”
He actually knew that he should blame Shen Xinglan for this. ”If he didn't satirize A Miao every time they met, A Miao would not always argue with him.”
”When I start school in September, I will go to live in school. We won't have to endure each other anymore.” A Miao stretched out and said, ”I am going to read books!”
Le Yi stopped her. ”I am leaving. This is for you.”
”A ring?” A Miao did not reach out.
”There is an anesthetic inside.” Le Yi pressed it, and a slender needle popped up.
A Miao was terrified and took it over. ”Are you a doctor?”
”What kind of doctor carries this kind of thing...”
”Hehe, the medicine is mine and it works well. As long as it pricks someone for a second, he will be paralyzed.” Le Yi smiled. ”The organ is made by one of our friends. Since you are now with Shen, you will see him sooner or later.”
A Miao stopped smiling and seriously looked at Le Yi. ”Thank you!” Then she reached out and said, ”Thank you for being willing to be my friend.”
”Don't say that.” Le Yi reached out to shake her hands. ”You are a good girl. Next time when I come...”
”What will happen next time?” Seeing that he did not finish, A Miao curiously asked. Then she seemed to understand something and said with a smile, ”Oh, we are friends now. I will not forget you!”
Le Yi patted her shoulder. ”That's good!”
”What I want to say is, I hope you have a happy ending with Shen when I see you next time...”
When Le Yi left, A Miao suddenly asked him, ”Shen Xinglan will come back tomorrow! Do you want to wait for him?”
”No, we don't have to meet, unless there is something.” Le Yi opened the car door and sat in, ”Take care!”
A Miao waved her hand. ”Goodbye!”
In the evening, when she took a shower, she rocked her brain. ”The relationship between Le Yi and Shen Xinglan seemed not as the same as she thought. Shen Xinglan can never be homosexual. As for Le Yi, what a pity if such a nice man adores a man!”
”Achoo.” Shen Xinglan suddenly sneezed on the plane.
”What time is it?” He closed the document.
Shen II looked at the watch and replied, ”It is 12 o'clock in midnight.”
”Take them away.” Shen Xinglan pushed the file away. Shen I popped his head from the door. ”Boss, do you want something to eat?”
”I am not hungry.” He looked at Shen II. ”You can go to eat.”
Shen I blinked to Shen II, indicating that they could go together when he heard Shen Xinglan saying, ”Shen I stays. I have something to ask you.”
