20 Potential Partner? (1/2)

Su Yan stared at Nie Chang without knowing what to say. How could their compatibility even be calculated? They were two men for heaven's sake!

”Your phone …” Nie Chang wanted to pick it up but Su Yan finally reacted at that moment.

He couldn't let Nie Chang see that darned result!

Both of them bent down and reached for Su Yan's phone. Their hands actually met in the middle. Su Yan grew frantic. He wanted to take his hand back but also didn't want to seem strange. He looked up at Nie Chang to gauge his expression but actually found Nie Chang staring right back at him.

Su Yan's face and ears instantly turned red. Nie Chang's brows lifted a bit. Was Su Yan … embarrassed? Why?

He looked down at their hands again. His fingers were still touching Su Yan's. It couldn't be that Su Yan was really starting to see him as a potential partner? How had that suddenly happened? He had worked for years to make Su Yan fall in love with him but nothing had really worked. How come he was suddenly this conscious of his presence?

Nie Chang didn't understand but he was happy nonetheless. This was a big step in the direction of their future together. He had to use this chance but he couldn't go overboard, though.

”You dropped your phone.” He picked it up and stuffed it into Su Yan's hands before looking up again. He feigned surprise. ”Ah Yan, what's wrong? Your face is completely red!” He cupped his cheeks and bent forward.

Not even three inches separated them. It was close enough to hear how Su Yan's breath caught in his throat before it sped up. He could even see how Su Yan's face got redder. Had they been alone he might really have bridged the gap between them and just kissed them.

Unfortunately, two huge light-bulbs were still standing behind them. And one of them couldn't manage to keep his mouth shut. ”What's with this PDA? Didn't he say he wanted to introduce a new colleague to us?”

Su Yan flinched, clutched his phone and leaped to his feet. ”What PDA?! I … I just dropped my phone!” He said so but Nie Chang's employees only stared at his red face silently. If this wasn't PDA, then what was? Those two had nearly kissed in front of them!

Nie Chang stood up and lightly coughed. ”As I said just now, I've found someone who will permanently take over work at the counter.”

His employees exchanged a look, one of them even wriggling his brows. Ah! 'Permanently'! So that really was the boss' boyfriend!

Su Yan thankfully hadn't looked at them since he was putting his phone away to make sure that damned result couldn't accidentally be spotted by Nie Chang. Thus, knew nothing of their thoughts. He just nodded at them. ”It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Su Yan.”

”Mn. Lao Lao!” The first one returned his greeting.

”Gong Gong”, the second one introduced himself. Su Yan stared at him. What had he just heard? Did that guy just say he was a eunuch?

Nie Chang laughed, patted his shoulder and conveniently left his hand there. ”I'm sorry. Those two, they did it again. This once is Lao Jing Mu.” He pointed at the first one that Su Yan had seen before. ”Everyone's just calling him Old Lao so he tends to forget he should introduce himself decently. The other one is called Gong Chun. He's played some daoist eunuch ages ago in a game so since everyone called him Gong Gong back then it kind of became a nickname even outside of the game and then just stuck somehow.”

”Oh.”
