Chapter 2: Struggle in the Wealthy Family (2)

Will you root for Ye Zhou as the male lead?

Bai Luo drank the porridge the next day and noticed that the taste was different from the past.

“This morning’s porridge,” He saw Ye Zhuo seem to be nervous, his fingers unconsciously tugging at the clothes, Bai Luo paused, and then said: “It tastes good, I like it very much.”

Ye Zhuo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and asked cautiously: “Does the manager think that the porridge is good today or the one before?”

Bai Luo thought about it carefully, and said, “Although the smell is not as fragrant as before, I prefer the taste today.”

There is a trace of an unobvious joy on Ye Zhuo’s face.

[Favorability +20.]

Bai Luo wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked in his heart: “Why?” The basis for the system to increase the favorability is unclear, Ye Zhou brought him soups and drinks so many times before, and he didn’t see the increase in favorability for Ye Zhuo.

[There was a lot of thoughts detected in the porridge, and he persisted for two weeks.]

Bai Luo feels that although the degree of favorability refers to the way he treats Ye Zhuo, according to the systematic algorithm, it clearly refers to the way Ye Zhuo treats him.

[If you desire to take it, you must give it first. Only by investing his emotions, will he be able to get your favorability.]

Could it be that Ye Zhuo was attacking him by bringing soup every morning? How do you feel that strategy and pursuit are similar? Bai Luo subconsciously ignored this idea. Bai Luo, who has never been in love before, is very insensitive to these, and is very slow to feelings.

In the evening, Ye Zhuo accompanied him to a wine event. In the splendidly decorated and luxurious hotel, he entertained some government officials and partners. Ye Zhuo drank a lot of wine for him. The price have already negotiated in private. This event is just to invite them for dinner. After the guests and the host have enjoyed themselves, the approval documents for this project will be quickly obtained.

It was very late, Bai Luo was seriously intoxicated. He didn’t go home and stayed in the hotel for one night. When he woke up the next day, his head aches like a pincushion. Bai Luo rubbed his forehead and sat up, and he saw Ye Zhuo sleeping next to him. There were some obvious marks on his exposed shoulders. Bai Luo’s hand rubbing his forehead froze, and his mouth opened unsightly. Perceiving that Ye Zhuo moved, as if he was about to wake up, Bai Luo quickly put down his hand, closed his mouth, and restored his indifferent expression.

Ye Zhuo’s expressions were colorful, and the two looked at each other, not knowing what to say about the situation. Ye Zhuo took a deep breath, pretending to be calm, and said: “General Manager, we were all drunk last night. We are all men, let’s forget about this.”

“Well, good.” Bai Luo was still in shock, not knowing how to react.

Ye Zhuo lifted the quilt, got up and stiffened. He got out of the bed with a frown. Red and naked, he walked into the bathroom blankly.

Bai Luo’s eyes moved along with Ye Zhuo’s movements, and the sharp eyes saw white liquid flowing down from the roots of Ye Zhuo’s thighs. There are red marks on the waist that are grasped by two hands, and the color on the buttocks is obviously redder than the surrounding skin.

Bai Luo looked bewildered.

Did he sleep with a man!?

After that, Bai Luo was always a little uncomfortable when facing Ye Zhuo alone. He couldn’t help but glance at Ye Zhuo’s buttocks. Is it really possible to do it there? Although Ye Zhuo said that he had forgotten about it, but how could he said to forget and forget it? It wasn’t like the computer deleting a file. That scene gave him such a shock, it simply subverted his three views.

Bai Luo pays more and more attention to Ye Zhuo without knowing it. The inadvertent touch between the two men in the past seems to have magnified the details many times. When he touched Ye Zhuo’s hand while holding the file, Bai Luo’s left hand stiffened, and the writing movement of his right hand stopped. Without raising his head, he pretended to accept it as usual, and his expression remained unchanged. Bai Luo stared at the tip of his left finger in a daze when he heard the sound of closing the door. Just now, it seemed that a soft thorn had pierced his hand. He touched his left hand with his right hand in confusion, that feeling is not there. It’s strange!

When he came home from work, Bai Luo looked at Bai Yi seriously and said, “Come and sit down.”

Bai Yi unconcernedly leaned on the sofa, but sat up straight in Bai Luo’s solemn eyes, his heart trembled, and carefully said, “Brother, what’s the matter?” After thinking about it, he hasn’t done anything to get caught recently, right?

“Reach out your hand.”

Bai Yi subconsciously rubbed his clothes twice and stretched out, “I washed my hands before eating, and after eating.” Look at his hands, there is nothing strange.

Bai Luo also stared for two seconds, stretched out his hand and held it for a while. He frowned slightly, got up and went back to the room.

Bai Yi is inexplicable, he can’t figure out what happened to Bai Luo. He looked at his right hand, and then shook his left hand. He didn’t find anything strange?

Bai Luo sat next to the computer, and the light on the computer screen faintly hit his face, “Help! When a man touched my hand, there seemed to be thorns prickling on his hand. This kind of feeling doesn’t exist when I touch my younger brother’s hand with my left hand. What is the reason for this?”

Bai Luo went to take a shower after posting the post. When he came back, he thought of this, turned on the computer and looked at it, but he did not expect so many replies.

#The original poster is acting innocent and stupid, will not explain.#

#That is love!#

#+1#

#+2#

……

#Since ancient times, the second brother has produced talents.#(1)

#The original poster must be such a cute boy.#

#A weak sentence, only I clicked on the basic information of the original poster to see that the gender is male?#

The post was silent for a while, then suddenly exploded, and the number of posts increased rapidly.

Bai Luo has no intention of reading it anymore, and has been thinking, do I really like Ye Zhuo?

Bai Luo paid much more attention to Ye Zhuo than others, he didn’t even know it.

Bai Luo and Ye Zhuo work together, they have quite a tacit understanding, and the rhythm is in perfect harmony. Once another female secretary took over Ye Zhuo’s job, she was very slow in finding the files, and she didn’t classify the files like Ye Zhuo did, which increased his workload.

“Why didn’t Ye Zhuo come?”

“General Manager, Assistant Ye is sick and took leave this morning. I will temporarily replace him for two days.”

“Is it serious?”

“He said that it was a cold, he just need two days off.”

Bai Luo went to the hotel to socialize the next day, in the past, Ye Zhuo followed him. This time he couldn’t think of a suitable person to accompany him for a while, so Bai Luo asked the secretary to follow. While Bai Luo was on the road, thinking of the drinking, he couldn’t help but think of Ye Zhuo’s appearance after being drunk last time. While letting his imagination runs wild, they arrived at the place.

At the wine table, Bai Luo felt more tired than usual, and felt that he has talk a lot more than before. Only when he saw the woman next to him did he think of the reason. Ye Zhuo was smooth, although his face looks cold, he can actually be sociable. This woman would just sit there with a reserved smile.

Someone on the side toast to him, the female secretary Bai Luo had brought for help looked at Bai Luo, and said, “I don’t know how to drink.”

Bai Luo picked up the glass, touched glass with the toasting person, and drank. His stomach is burning and it aches.

When it’s time to end, Bai Luo feared what happened last time would happen again. He forced himself to stay conscious and order the driver to send him back to the apartment.

Bai Luo was extremely uncomfortable and also very tired. He was awakened by discomfort after barely falling asleep. He had a splitting headache, his stomach was very uncomfortable, and his body was hot and cold. Bai Luo doesn’t know when he fell asleep in a daze.

Next morning, disturbed by the ringing of his mobile phone, with his body very heavy, Bai Luo was too lazy to move. With great difficulty, until the ringtone stop, Bai Luo’s eyes gradually closed. He wanted to sleep for a while, but the ringtone rang persistently.

Bai Luo closed his eyes and touched the phone, and said “Hey.” His voice was very hoarse.

“General Manager, are you okay?”

Bai Luo vaguely felt that the voice was very familiar, and gave a vague hum.

Ye Zhuo’s voice was a little anxious, “General Manager, where are you now?”

“Hmm, apartment.”

Half asleep and half awake, Bai Luo feels that someone was feeding him water and made him swallowed two pills. After a while, Bai Luo awakened, and seeing that it was Ye Zhuo, Bai Luo’s spirit was a bit stunned. He couldn’t tell whether this was a dream or reality. After drinking a bowl of porridge, he felt dizzy and fell asleep again.

Plain white porridge topped with green onions

It wasn’t until noon that Bai Luo woke up. He doesn’t sense a person next to him, so it was originally a dream ah. There was a feeling of loss and sorrow that lingered in his heart. Bai Luo dazedly prepared to go to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Bai Luo went to the kitchen while wiping his hair. His stomach is empty, don’t know what else is there to eat in the kitchen. As soon as he came downstairs, he smelled the scent of cooked rice. Bai Luo was taken aback for a moment. Shouldn’t he be too hungry, and started hallucinating?

Sweet, delicious, Asian’s stable white rice

Ye Zhuo is wearing a shirt wrapped by a little bear apron—a present from the supermarket—cutting vegetables.

Bai Luo stared blankly.

Ye Zhuo sensed something. When he looked back, he found that it was Bai Luo. He said, “Bai Luo, are you better? I made digestible and light dishes. You have a fever this morning, and I gave medicine for you. The temperature has dropped. After eating, use the thermometer and measure it again.”

Digestible, light food—according to Google

[Favorability +40.]

Bai Luo’s heart beats faster for a moment. Bai Luo has always lived independently, his father doesn’t give him much attention, his mother died early, and he got used to loneliness. The physical discomfort shattered the powerful and omnipotent mask he put on during the day. He still hoped that someone could accompany him.

Ye Zhuo now feels too warm to him. Perhaps the time is too appropriate now, in his own home, he was sick. Bai Luo released his spiritual fragility, unexpectedly someone appeared at this time and gave him spiritual comfort. What Bai Luo did not know was that even if another person appeared here, he might still be moved.

It is not the person who made his heart beats, but that he happens to appear in his life at the right time.

Ye Zhuo put down the thing in his hands, washed his hands, and poured a glass of water, “You did not wake up, I used the kitchen without your consent, please don’t be angry.”

“No, not at all.” Bai Luo paused, and said seriously, “I am very happy.”

Ye Zhuo didn’t see the smile on Bai Luo’s face. Bai Luo’s expression was earnest and solemn, Ye Zhou moved away from his gaze as if being burned. “You go rest for a while, the meal will be ready in a moment,” He said again in a joking tone, “General Manager, it seems that I will take another day off again today.”

“Well, I will give you a paid vacation.”

Ye Zhuo didn’t know how to reply, turned around and went to the kitchen.

Bai Luo felt a novelty looking at the person in the kitchen. Except for the nanny, no one has ever cooked for him. Bai Luo touched his heart, it feels strange.

Bai Luo called the company and found that Ye Zhuo had taken care of it. Every departments are still working orderly, step by step, and the things that need him to signs were pushed back. Bai Luo is quite satisfied.

The two finished their meal in silence, Ye Zhuo tidied up the tablewares, “General Manager, call me if you have anything in the afternoon.”

“Where are you going?”

The author has something to say:

Bai Luo felt thorns pricking him when touching Ye Zhuo’s hand is because of disgust, he didn’t know…

T/N: lmao at the A/N. This is why you don’t believe everything they say on the Internet.
