first love is not too late

Chapter 48 "You already know that, right?"

48

"Ming Yu, please briefly talk about the planning department's plan for the opening of 'Zhaomuli' in September."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, all the people participating in the meeting on both sides of the long table in the conference room cast their gazes at Ji Mingyu, while the protagonist who was named was still staring at the pen in his hand in a daze.

Xiao Xiao on the side quickly touched Ji Mingyu's arm with her elbow, and whispered: "Leader".

Ji Mingyu suddenly came back to his senses, facing the slightly frowning expression on Lin Mo's brows, he immediately corrected his expression, Xiao Xiao opened the plan that he had prepared earlier in the morning, and Ji Mingyu picked up the infrared pen and walked to the curtain, and began to explain the briefing of the opening event loudly arrange.

It was almost noon after the meeting, and Lin Mo told Ji Mingyu a few more words, saying that the first opening of the project was important, and hoped that he would do a good job. Ji Mingyu agreed with a smile, and went out to arrange supplier inspections and prepare for bidding.

When leaving the conference room, Xiao Xiao was still packing the laptop she had just used outside, Ji Mingyu rubbed the space between her eyebrows, and asked her to bring him a cup of coffee when she went out to eat.

Xiao Xiao responded, "Does the leader not eat at noon? Do you want to bring something for you?"

Ji Mingyu shook his head: "No, I'm not hungry yet."

Xiao Xiao nodded and asked whether she should drink latte or American style, then went out holding the computer.

When the coffee was bought, Ji Mingyu was sorting out the supplier's storage materials, Xiao Xiao knocked on the door twice, but Ji Mingyu who was sitting at the desk didn't respond, so Xiao Xiao slowed down and walked in, and then saw Ji Mingyu facing Staring at a certain brand of men's watch on the screen in a daze.

"Leader," she withdrew her gaze and put the coffee away, "your coffee."

"Oh, thank you." Ji Mingyu came back to his senses, closed the window, and saw that Xiao Xiao hadn't left yet, "What else can I do?"

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a while, bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "Leader, have you had a fight with your partner recently?"

Ji Mingyu paused slightly while drinking coffee, and looked sideways at Xiao Xiao: "Why do you say that?"

"That...you don't seem to be in a good mood recently."

Ji Mingyu: "Is there?"

Xiao Xiao nodded, more than that, don't be too obvious, okay? Since Qixi Festival, Ji Mingyu has been in a low mood, sometimes in a trance during meetings, occasionally makes mistakes in work, and often frowns and sighs.When it's off-duty time, I don't rush to leave. Instead, I stay in the office and work overtime, so I almost live in the office.

It is very different from before.

Of course Xiao Xiao didn't have the guts to be so direct, so she just mentioned a few words tactfully and left.

Ji Mingyu lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, then he frowned again and began to lose his mind.

Not two days after Qixi Festival, Fu Jing returned to Rongyang, took Huang Chengcheng with her, and asked her to go out to calm down and relax, while he and Fu Shi'an continued to work and live. The relationship between the two did not change, but Work is too busy, so he gets off work later and later.

Perhaps it was the few words Xiao Xiao said that reminded him that Ji Mingyu was able to leave work on time after finishing the storage matters today. He drove the car downstairs to Fu Shian's company and called Fu Shian but was not connected. After a while, he took out his phone and sent Fu Shi'an a WeChat message.

The last item on the chat page between the two was the two words he replied to Fu Shi'an two days ago - 'work overtime'.

The two of them didn't use WeChat to chat since they rented together, so the conversations were mostly about asking what time to get off work and when to go home, nothing special.

He flipped through it casually, and the conversation between the two of them was like this for four or five days in a row, but the number of words in his reply was gradually decreasing. "I'm working overtime, don't wait for me", and finally his concise and clear "overtime" without punctuation marks.

Ji Mingyu inexplicably and cleverly thought of the "dialogue change from the beginning to the end of love" mentioned on the Internet, from enthusiasm to indifference.

Although the relationship is not right, but...would Fu Shi'an also misunderstand that he was deliberately indifferent?

Soon he thought that Fu Shi'an didn't know that he already knew, so would his indifferent appearance make him feel sad?

Ji Mingyu was at a loss again.

After all, Fu Shi'an didn't make it clear, and it's impossible for him to open his mouth rashly and say that I know you like me, but I don't know what to do yet, so I'm pretending to be dead, but don't be sad.

Grass, big idiot.

Ji Mingyu covered his eyes, not daring to think deeply.

At this moment, Fu Shi'an's phone call came, the phone suddenly vibrated like a hot potato, Ji Mingyu almost threw the phone out of the car window in a panic, and finally answered when the ringing was about to stop.

Ji Mingyu said "Hello" twice, but there was no answer from Fu Shi'an's side, only the noise of people and the sound of traffic, Ji Mingyu was wondering and didn't notice the horn and mobile phone beside his ear The voices from inside overlapped highly.

"Y.." Just as Yuan Zi uttered an initial sound, he seemed to suddenly realize how intimate Fu Shi'an's nickname is, so he changed his voice and shouted: "Fu Shi'an? Why don't you talk?"

It was quiet for another second or two before Fu Shi'an's voice came over: "Well, what's the matter with calling me?"

Probably because of the problem of radio wave transmission, Fu Shi'an's voice was too deep, and Ji Mingyu's ears were a little itchy: "Are you off work? I'm downstairs in your company. Let's go back together..."

"I'm not in the company." Fu Shi'an said, "Go back first."

After Fu Shi'an finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and Ji Mingyu stared blankly at the phone that had been restored to the lock screen page, as if this was the first time that Fu Shi'an hung up his phone so directly, without even waiting for him to ask, "What about you?" Where? '.

The roses in the vase at the entrance have long since dried up, and the gray-brown petals are scattered on the off-white shoe cabinet like a stained canvas. A faint aftertaste of decay.

On the night Fu Shi'an bought this bouquet of roses, he carefully disposed of the dead branches and leaves, leaving only a few pretty buds. After more than a week, they were all completely changed. Fu Shi'an didn't throw them away, and Ji Mingyu Didn't mention it either.

Temporary circuit maintenance in the community, and there is no call at home at the moment.Now that the temperature is high, Ji Mingyu took a cold bath in cold water without turning on the water heater. He didn't feel cold, and even felt quite refreshed.It's just that there is no air conditioner, but it's a bit difficult. There is no one around the house, so Ji Mingyu is naked and only wears a pair of loose shorts, and then sits on the balcony in a daze with the "Looking for".

When I opened the homepage, I saw the phrase to sign again——May you have unabated love and unyielding courage in this life.

When he first read it, he wondered why San Yueqiu would write this sentence. After reading the book, he realized that the twelve characters were the short note written in Sanqi's notebook when the backpacker left.

And the row of brown squares of different sizes on the back of the title page is the block code created by Sanqi mentioned in the article, and what do those eleven brown squares mean? Ben found out.

San Yueqiu's writing has always had a kind of magical power, but this time the magic probably failed. Ji Mingyu turned the pages, and those words passed by his eyes one by one, but nothing was left behind.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Ji Mingyu still didn't notice it until there was a sound at the door. Fu Shi'an entered the door and turned on the light in the living room. gone?"

The footsteps stopped, but Fu Shi'an didn't respond. Ji Mingyu adjusted to the light and opened his eyes to see Fu Shi'an standing at the door, his eyes fell on...his naked chest.

Ji Mingyu:...

Only then did he come to his senses that he was not wearing any clothes, and he subconsciously opened his palms and put them on his chest to cover them.Then, he saw Fu Shi'an's eyes froze for a moment before he turned his eyes away. The flash of this moment made Ji Mingyu come back to his senses, realizing that his actions at the moment were a bit inappropriate.

Because as a good brother who didn't know about Fu Shi'an's sexual orientation, Ji Mingyu had never shy away from exposing his upper body in front of Fu Shi'an before today.

"Is it very hot? Why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"

Seeing that Fu Shi'an had come over with a normal expression, Ji Mingyu lowered his hands and walked to the sofa to pick up his T-shirt without embarrassment: "The battery was out just now."

Naturally, Fu Shi'an also saw the property notice. He bent down to get the remote control of the air conditioner on the coffee table, while Ji Mingyu was wearing a T-shirt in a panic. Because his vision was blocked, the step he walked happened to bump into the corner of the sofa, and his knee hurt immediately. Unsteady, he fell directly towards the coffee table. Fu Shi'an next to him immediately came back to his senses, and quickly reached out and pulled his T-shirt, letting him show his head and making him change direction and rush towards him.

Turning their gazes, the two of them just fell down on the couch.Ji Mingyu's whole body was pressed on Fu Shi'an's body, Fu Shi'an's soft hair was on the side of his face, and he could smell a good fragrance, his chest heaved and both of them were stunned.

Ji Mingyu could feel that Fu Shi'an's hands on his back were hugging tightly. It was obviously not the first time he embraced like this, but he still couldn't control his blood and his face became hotter, and he seemed to hear his own heartbeat in a trance. Or maybe not, it was always the sound that made his breathing come short.

It was probably because Ji Mingyu's breathing touched the ground and Fu Shi'an's ears were itchy. He turned his head slightly and took two deep breaths before raising his hand to push the person on him away, "You..."

As soon as he raised his hand, Ji Mingyu jumped up like a frog. Fu Shian was still half nestled on the sofa, and his hand was still raised in the air, as if he didn't expect Ji Mingyu to react so fast, his pupils widened slightly , but soon, the surprise in his dark pupils disappeared, leaving only desolate sarcasm.

Ji Mingyu stood up straight, and hurriedly pulled up his t-shirt. The touch of Fu Shian's palm rubbing against his waist seemed to be still there, and the fine electric current was transmitted through the skin to the blood, allowing his heart to continue to charge. Jump fast.

He wanted to apologize, but also wanted to thank him, his lips moved for several seconds without saying a word.

When he was struggling, Fu Shi'an had adjusted his sitting posture and sat on the sofa, looked up at him and suddenly said:

"You already know that, don't you?"

Although this question is a question, he uses a declarative tone.

Ji Mingyu was stunned, and met Fu Shi'an's gaze, which froze all of Ji Mingyu's panic like ice blades: "Know...know what?"

The indoor temperature is still scorching hot, unknowingly Ji Mingyu has sweated a little on his forehead.

He was not smart enough to pretend to be a fool. Fu Shi'an didn't answer his question, but just sat up straight and stared at Ji Mingyu deeply. The two of them faced each other silently for a few seconds. Pulled out the remote control of the air conditioner.

The roar of the machine starting broke the silence, and the cold wind hit, but the temperature on Ji Mingyu's body did not drop, and it seemed that Fu Shi'an sighed softly in the sound of the wind.

"I know that I like men." After a pause for a while, he then said in a harsh voice, "I also know who I like."

Ji Mingyu looked sideways, and saw that Fu Shi'an's eyes that were always gentle and quiet now had a dangling indifference, he frowned lightly, he really didn't expect Fu Shi'an to show it clearly in front of his eyes, but obviously he said again Playing dumb doesn't help either.

"Ah."

After being acknowledged, Fu Shi'an suddenly sneered.

Ji Mingyu frowned, looking at the arc of his mouth inexplicably felt glaring, but didn't know what to say.

Then there was another silence, and after a while, Ji Mingyu sat down on the sofa behind him and asked, "Is that person really me?"

This time Fu Shi'an didn't deny it, his eyes were almost hotter than Chaoyang, Ji Mingyu turned his eyes away as if he couldn't bear it.The cold wind from the air conditioner made his skin tremble, but he only felt extremely hot, and his heart was beating like a drum in his chest.

Countless thoughts arose and were pushed down by him, and the words were swallowed back by him.Ji Mingyu still couldn't deal with the chaotic emotions in his mind, he just felt that he was almost wiped out in Fu Shi'an's eyes.

"If you feel disgusted, I can move out." Fu Shi'an whispered.

Ji Mingyu was still in a state where his brain was receiving too much information so that it went down. He didn't hear what Fu Shi'an said at all. When the people around him stood up and planned to leave, his brain read the words just now belatedly. mean.

He quickly reached out to grab Fu Shi'an's wrist, and raised his eyes to touch Fu Shi'an's drooping eyes. This expression was exactly the same as his coldness after getting up from Fu Shi'an just now.

Ji Mingyu blankly recalled the gesture he got up just now as if he was too panicked, so Fu Shi'an misunderstood and thought he felt disgusted?

"No, I'm not disgusted." Ji Mingyu stammered and explained, "It's just... just a little surprised, you know I...you..."

Fu Shi'an interrupted him: "I know, you like women."

There was another silence, and they all knew it.

"I didn't want to tell you, and I didn't expect you to give me any response." Fu Shi'an's voice was rough, he probably couldn't continue, he closed his eyes and didn't speak again, but he was not willing to break his hand from Ji Mingyu's palm .

Ji Mingyu felt that the needle in his heart reappeared, making it difficult for him to breathe, subconsciously exerted force on his hand, he didn't know how to comfort him, he obviously wanted to say something but couldn't say anything.

Standing and sitting is silent again.

From the corner of his eyes, Ji Mingyu noticed that Fu Shi'an's wrist was reddened by his pinching, and he quickly let go, wanting to touch it to ask if it hurt, but hesitated for a second but still didn't move.

Fu Shi'an lowered his eyes, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Are you still friends?"

"Of course!" Ji Mingyu answered quickly.

Fu Shi'an chuckled, "Okay."

It seemed to be relieved, but also helpless, and then walked into his room without looking back.
