Like last time, Chu Yi patiently repeated the words Qin Yiheng said, “You said before that since our field of work is different, you hope we won’t interfere with each other.”

Qin Yiheng on the other side instantly paused.

He did say that, that’s right.

He… said that?

Qin Yiheng thought for a few seconds before saying, “I think I misjudged the distance between us at that time.” He said in all seriousness, then asked Chu Yi, “Will you allow me to change my mind?”

Chu Yi naturally said, “Yes, you may.”

Qin Yiheng touched the center of his eyebrows and said directly, “I want to cooperate with you.”

Chu Yi wanted to discuss this matter with Qin Yiheng tonight, but since Qin Yiheng already said so, of course he agreed, “Okay.”

Qin Yiheng looked up slightly and asked Chu Yi, “What else did I say before?”

Chu Yi took a gentle breath.

Gege, you said quite a lot.

“You said don’t move when I sleep, don’t touch you, don’t make a sound, and don’t disturb each other in our work. When the auntie came over to clean, you said that only one person at home was enough. You also said that if both of us are working at home at the same time, I can’t be by your side, because I’ll disturb you.”

Chu Yi didn’t know how, but he let everything out like he had been reciting this.

So it turned out that he actually remembered everything so clearly and cared so much.

After he said this, he gave the time to Mr. Qin, who had set all these rules.

Mr. Qin paused for a long time over there. For a long, long time.

Then he said, “Why am I so difficult to get along with?”

Chu Yi laughed out loud on the spot, even Qin Yiheng heard the laughter.

Qin Yiheng also laughed, “I’m changing it.”

Chu Yi asked, “Change what?”

Qin Yiheng said, “It’s all wrong, I’m changing everything.”

Then Chu Yi deliberately asked, “Change to what?”

Qin Yiheng said seriously, “You can move when you sleep, touch me, and make sounds.”

Chu Yi continued, “What else?”

Qin Yiheng, “I hope we can cooperate a lot in the future.”

Chu Yi, “What else?”

Qin Yiheng, “I hope you can accompany me when I’m at home. It feels good when you’re around me, and I work relatively smoother.”

Chu Yi clenched his fist and clenched his teeth on the other end of the phone, celebrating silently.

It’s sugar, it’s sugar, it’s sugar!

Then he said seriously, “Okay.”

Qin Yiheng asked, “Anything else?”

Chu Yi thought, “I can only think of these for the time being.”

Qin Yiheng, “Okay.” He added, “If there are still such problems, tell me right away and I’ll change it.”

Chu Yi, “Okay.”

What a pleasant conversation. After Chu Yi finished this conversation with Qin Yiheng, he suddenly leaned over and piled all the plushies on the shoe cabinet together, and then hugged them in his arms.

Why did he do that?

He also doesn’t know.

Probably because he was so happy that his brain messed up.

Qin Yiheng didn’t speak, but he also didn’t hang up, so Chu Yi simply didn’t move either.

He took out the earpods from his bag, put them in his ears, put away his phone, and then finally changed his shoes.

Once inside, he found a small box next to the shoe cabinet.

“Mn?” Chu Yi picked up the box and asked, “I see a box. Is it for the plushies?”

Qin Yiheng replied, “Mn.”

So then Chu Yi put the plushies in one by one.

Qin Yiheng asked, “You don’t want to put it out?”

Chu Yi shook his head, “I don’t know where to put it. I’ll put it away, it’s easy to get dusty.”

Qin Yiheng, “Up to you.”

After Chu Yi put the plushies away, he asked Qin Yiheng, “By the way, if I accept your company’s event, do I need to reply by email? Or is it alright if I tell you?”

Qin Yiheng, “There’s no need to reply to the email. I’ll talk to Xu Jing.”

Chu Yi, “Ah.” Then he said quietly, “Will others think I got in through connections?”

Qin Yiheng asked, “Did you not?”

Chu Yi, “…”

He was speechless.

Chu Yi smiled, “I thought you wouldn’t care about such trivial things like the designs.”

“It’s true that I didn’t care before, but I thought of you today.” Qin Yiheng said. “Our jobs can be connected.”

Chu Yi nodded, “Yes, then we can cooperate long-term in the future, President Qin.”

Qin Yiheng, “Yes, we’ll always consider your studio first.”

Chu Yi, “Thank you, President Qin, for giving me this opportunity.”

Qin Yiheng shook his head, “I don’t want President Qin.”

Chu Yi immediately changed his words: “Thanks lao-gong, for giving me this opportunity.”

Qin Yiheng smiled, “We’re family after all.”

“Ge!” A familiar voice suddenly appeared at the other end of the phone. Chu Yi pressed the earphone and asked, “There’s someone beside you?”

Qin Yiheng, “Zhao Xin.”

Chu Yi was confused, “He’s also in City W?”

Qin Yiheng, “Mn, he’s also here for work.”

“Hi, sao-zi!”

Chu Yi suddenly heard a roar from the other side, which was probably the sound from approaching Qin Yiheng’s phone.

Chu Yi asked, “Can he hear me?”

Zhao Xin, “Yeah, ge put you on speaker.”

Chu Yi laughed and said, “Hello.”

Zhao Xin opened the red wine he had just brought over, poured some for Qin Yiheng, and said to the phone on the table, “I haven’t met you even though I’ve worked with you for so long.” Zhao Xin continued to pour some for himself, “Sao-zi, I think we’ll meet soon.”

“Yeah.” Chu Yi said, “What are you guys doing?”

“I’m here to find my brother for a drink, we’re at the hotel terrace.” Xin Zhao put down the wine, pulled out the chair beside him, sat down, and got closer to the phone, “Sao-zi, ge and I are staying at the same hotel, I’ll help you watch over him. I will report to you if anything happens.”

Qin Yiheng glanced faintly at Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin laughed and continued, “Of course, sao-zi, you should believe that my brother is absolutely loyal to you.”

Chu Yi also laughed at the other end, “I believe him.”

Zhao Xin, “Aiyo. My brother was showing off his love earlier, and now my sao-zi is also showing off his love. You two are quite in sync.”

Chu Yi was curious, “What did he show off?”

Zhao Xin moved the phone over a little, “When I came to find him for a drink tonight, I also wanted to talk with him more. But he told me he has no time because he has to call you. Do you hear this? What can I say to this?”

Chu Yi laughed and helped Qin Yiheng explain, “When he’s on a business trip, we indeed have to call every night.”

Zhao Xin, “Aiya, I got it, I got it.”

Zhao Xin said, “There’s more.” Zhao Xin glanced at Qin Yiheng and saw that Qin Yiheng didn’t have any intentions to stop him. He brought up the wine and drank it slowly. As if he got approval, he became even more energetic, “This afternoon, he told me not to make things hard for you and even praised you like it was raining flowers.”

Speaking of this, Qin Yiheng finally spoke.

Qin Yiheng denied as he spoke with facts, “It wasn’t that exaggerated.”

“Fine, fine.” Zhao Xin nodded, “But he really did praise you.”

Zhao Xin is a talkative person, but Qin Yiheng didn’t talk much about Chu Yi with him, so he quickly let the topic move on in less than a minute.

After the topic ended, Zhao Xin and Chu Yi began to talk about this and that.

With the foundation of previous cooperation, and the fact that Chu Yi is generally a talkative person. With all these things together, they didn’t feel awkward at all when they chat, and the things they could talk about increased as they talked.

In the end, Zhao Xin even picked up the phone and chatted crazily with Chu Yi about basketball and shoes.

And Qin Yiheng, he sat there by himself in boredom, drinking wine alone.

When the two people’s laughter sounded at the same time, Qin Yiheng had just finished drinking the wine in his hand. He put down his glass, stretched out his hand, and forcibly interrupted the two’s conversation.

“Enough, he needs to wash up now.”

Zhao Xin let out an “ah”, then reluctantly returned the phone, but still added in the end, “Sao-zi, let’s go watch a game together next time when we have the chance.”

Chu Yi said, “Sure.”

Qin Yiheng immediately took back his phone.

Qin Yiheng, “Are you back upstairs?”

Chu Yi’s tone still carried the excitement from the chat, “Yep.”

Qin Yiheng said, “Go shower and rest early this evening.”

Chu Yi, “Okay.”

After the call hung up, Zhao Xin poured Qin Yiheng another glass of wine.

He was also very happy, he said, “Ge, I really like sao-zi. When I go back, arrange for us to meet?”

Qin Yiheng looked up at him and frowned, “You like him?”

Zhao Xin nodded his head, but suddenly realized something and laughed, “What? It’s not that like. Our positions collided. How can I like him?”

Qin Yiheng was confused, “What positions collided?”

Zhao Xin did not hide it, “We’re both the one on the bottom. And ge, I have a boyfriend.”

Qin Yiheng picked up the wine and made an “mn” sound.

Zhao Xin continued, “I like sao-zi as a friend. In the past, when I used to cooperate with him, he treated me like a customer. He was so polite to me that I didn’t realize his interest. Now because of you, he became a lot more open.”

Zhao Xin picked up the glass and clinked it with Qin Yiheng’s, saying, “It’s just the ordinary like, which is different from how you like sister-in-law.”

Qin Yiheng picked up the wine and wanted to drink, but when he heard these words from Zhao Xin, he put it down again.

He said, “I like him?”

Zhao Xin laughed, “What’s the matter with you? Why are you putting on an unbelievable expression?”

Qin Yiheng didn’t speak.

Zhao Xin was gradually surprised, “No way, no way, ge? If you don’t like him, why did you marry him?”

Qin Yiheng brought out what he said to everyone, “Because we’re suitable.”

“How could it be!” Zhao Xin was even more surprised and moved his chair over, “Ge, are you serious?“

Qin Yiheng stopped talking again.

Zhao Xin patted his thigh and said something that no one had ever said to Qin Yiheng, “You definitely like him!”

Qin Yiheng raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xin, “Really?”

Zhao Xin nodded vigorously, “Really! Ge, if you don’t like sao-zi, I, I-” Zhao Xin thought for a bit, “I’ll become a pig on the spot.”

Qin Yiheng, “…”

Qin Yiheng contemplated deeply.

Of course, the “background music” behind his contemplation was very noisy.

Zhao Xin had been talking next to his ear.

“You like sao-zi so much that anyone could see it.”

“Did you see how much you were spoiling him when you mentioned him? Almost got me sick.”

“You’ve shown off so much of your love to me, yet you’re still wondering if you like him?”

“Feeling you’re suitable is not like this. You care too much about him already.”

Blah blah blah…

Qin Yiheng’s thoughts drifted further and further.

In the past, when others said such words to him, he would blurt out that he definitely didn’t like him.

His mother asked before, and so did Xu Jing.

Now, many scenes flashed through his mind.

He remembered Chu Yi’s fawn eyes.

He remembered his occasional emotional ups and downs caused by Chu Yi.

He remembered a different kind of heartbeat caused by Chu Yi.

He remembered that the only person he wanted to be close with was Chu Yi.

He remembered that as soon as he was bored, he’ll want to see Chu Yi.

…

There was too much.

Zhao Xin’s voice gradually disappeared. He seemed to notice that his brother was thinking, so he didn’t disturb him. He sat aside, drank wine quietly, and stared at the profile of his brother’s face.

Then before long, the brother of his who was deep in thoughts suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

Zhao Xin immediately sat up straight and looked excited.

Qin Yiheng, “What’s it like to like a person?”

Zhao Xin thought for a moment, then asked, “Do you miss sao-zi right now?”

Qin Yiheng nodded, “I want to see him.”

Zhao Xin lifted his chin, “That’s the feeling.”

Qin Yiheng nodded in understanding.

Then he suddenly laughed, “Yeah, I like him.”
