The Flowers Blooming Over The Years

Nowadays, Xia Yiyang thinks that he was very brave when he was in college.

In fact, he couldn’t understand how he fell in love with Shen Luo for no reason, at first they were clearly half-rivals in love, so he couldn’t help but secretly give his best in front of Bai Fang, but after a long time had passed, even Xia Yiyang was unclear whether he was competing against Shen Luo or Bai Fang. 

At that time Xia Yiyang always thought of methods to get Shen Luo’s attention, but he was also confused because he didn’t know how to keep calm. If there had been something like Instagram at that time, all of Shen Luo’s posts would probably have been inundated with Xia Yiyang’s likes.

He foolishly hid those likes as if his life depended on it, he wanted Shen Luo to know but at the same time he didn’t want Shen Luo to know.

Shen Luo had posted a photo of the living room of his new house on Instagram, his ex-girlfriend, ex-ex-girlfriend and ex-ex-ex-girlfriend, appeared within seconds to leave their likes and show off their presence.

Xia Yiyang got angry, inside his head he was imagining the scene where Rong Momo was giving acupuncture treatment. 

After thinking about it for a long time, he again thought that he looked like a perverted stalker, in contradiction and self-disgust, he continued to check the instagram of the harem members.

As a result after checking, he couldn’t sleep well all night and the next day he continued to go to work with dark circles under his eyes.

Shen Luo was drinking coffee in the break room in the morning. After seeing him, he raised his eyebrows: “You didn’t sleep?”

Xia Yiyang was angry with him in his dream and was upset when he saw him.

He slowly poured himself a cup of coffee, but Shen Luo stopped him when he was about to drink it.

“Aren’t you allergic to coffee?” Shen Luo frowned. “What are you thinking?”

Of course, Xia Yiyang couldn’t explain what he was thinking, so he could only wait for Shen Luo to finish making a cup of tea for him.

“What are you going to check today?” Xia Yiyang asked as he blew on the tea. 

Shen Luo: “I’ll keep checking the same, you guys don’t have any problems. What are you so worried about?”

Xia Yiyang sighed: “I’m just preparing for the unexpected, so that when the critical moment comes I can use the back door.”

Shen Luo scoffed: “Are you going to use my back door or am I going to use yours?” 

Xia Yiyang: “……” 

That was too lewd, he really didn’t know what to say.

Shen Luo seemed to be simply “teasing” him, acting as if he hadn’t said anything, after taking a sip from his cup he asked: “What are we going to eat today?”

Xia Yiyang looked at him, he finally learned to be clever: “Who’s treating?”

Shen Luo stroked the back of Xia Yiyang’s head before leaving the break room.

In the end no one could invite anyone that night, because President Chen had given an ultimatum, he made sure to invite all the inspectors to eat.

Three of them are older men with an average age of 40… 

“White? Red?” Chen Hui’s face was clean and clear, though his tone of voice was that of a reckless man demanding payment of a debt.

Xia Yiyang shuddered as he sat to the side: “President Chen… are you just going to drink wine?”

Chen Hui: “I’ll drink what I want, you should be making skewers on the side of the road.”

Xia Yiyang: “……” 

Shen Luo: “President Chen, you are free to join us at any time.”

Chen Hui waved his hand to order: “Five bottles of blue sky.”

Others: ……

Chen Hui looked at Xia Yiyang with contempt: “Just drink milk.” 

Xia Yiyang honestly said: “Thanks dad.”

Shen Luo’s drinking capacity is really good.

How good is it?

He was as good as Chen Hui, annual meetings are always a mix of red and white wine, usually the person who toasts with the SZ bank’s liquor dad is the person who dies, having finished the third bottle of blue sky with Shen Luo, Chen Hui obviously started to get drunk. 

His voice was very loud, when he could no longer continue roaring he began to speak in a low voice, it was soft and considerate.

Shen Luo was still the same, he spoke little, his face did not change color, his eyes were clear and bright, and he had a clean smile.

In the end, Chen Hui did not dare to order the fourth bottle of blue sky, and asked Xia Yiyang to pay using the bank’s card.

“We have to drink again next time~~” President Chen stood still, but his speech had taken the wave sign. 

Shen Luo shook hands with him loosely, and said the word “good” succinctly.

Xia Yiyang looked at him from the side.

Shen Luo turned his head and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xia Yiyang: “I’ll take you home.” 

Shen Luo smiled: “Okay, sorry for the trouble.”

Chen Hui called a driver along with the others, Shen Luo got into Xia Yiayng’s car.

They live in the same neighborhood so he didn’t have to detour, Xia Yiyang rolled down the car window while driving for Shen Luo to dissipate the smell of alcohol, Eason Chan’s “Ten Years” was playing on the radio, Shen Luo listened for a while and began to hum.

Xia Yiyang laughed and said: “Are you drunk?” 

Shen Luo stopped singing: “No, when have I ever been drunk?”

Xia Yiyang didn’t know why he was trying to save face, he drove towards their neighborhood not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Xia Yiyang first stopped in front of Shen Luo’s building, turned off his car, and was prepared to help Shen Luo so he could lean on him.

But in the end, Shen Luo sat still and refused to unfasten his seat belt. 

“Do you and Chen Hui have a good relationship?” Shen Luo held his head as he looked at Xia Yiyang’s face.

“We got along well,” Xia Yiyang didn’t think much of it and told the truth, “It’s not easy to rise to a management level in a bank for a person without influence or power like me, but Chen Hui promoted me a few years ago.”

Shen Luo nodded, Xia Yiyang found that the other’s face did not change color, but his earlobes were bright red.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Yiyang asked patiently. 

Shen Luo opened his mouth and suddenly said: “You called him dad.”

“?” Xia Yiyang was stunned, “I was joking to coax him.”

Shen Luo’s voice sounded a little aggrieved: “Then why don’t you coax me?”

Xia Yiyang: “……” 

Shen Luo snorted and muttered: “Don’t call him dad, I don’t like it.”

Xia Yiyang had no choice but to coax him dryly: “Okay.”

Shen Luo finally seemed satisfied and obediently unfastened his seat belt, Xia Yiyang came over to help him and Shen Luo’s breath fell on his forehead.

The fragrant and spicy smell of white wine lingered in Xia Yiyang’s nose. After a “Click” the seat belt was unfastened. 

The two maintained their inclined position and neither moved. Xia Yiyang raised his head slightly and saw his face reflected in Shen Luo’s eyes.

Shen Luo suddenly leaned forward and lightly rubbed the tip of his nose on Xia Yiyang’s bangs.

“……” 

Xia Yiyang was speechless at the inexplicable action of the other party. 

Shen Luo began to laugh childishly.

Xia Yiyang sighed: “It’s really weird to see you like this.”

“I’m not drunk,” Shen Luo opened the car door, Xia Yiyang quickly got out to help him, but the other party really stepped out on their own.

Shen Luo walked around the front of the car, keeping his distance from Xia Yiyang: “I remember everything clearly.” 

Xia Yiyang asked him: “What do you remember?”

Shen Luo made a “thinking” expression: “We are from the LWP university, you like Bai Fang.”

Xia Yiyang rolled his eyes.

Shen Luo was quite proud: “But she became my girlfriend.” 

Xia Yiyang had no intention of lowering himself to the level of a drunkard, he closed the car door prepared to send the man upstairs.

Shen Luo took a couple of steps and continued: “Do you know why I went abroad in my second year?”

Xia Yiyang continued the conversation: “Why?”

Shen Luo thought for a while, he put his index finger on his lips, and said in a low voice, “Shh, I won’t tell you.” 

……Xia Yiyang wanted to hit him.

Shen Luo fumbled for the key to open the door in the dark and muttered, “Fifteen years, three months, two days, and twelve hours.”

Xia Yiyang: “?”

“It’s the time we have spent apart.” Shen Luo put the key in the lock, but did not open the door right away. He turned his face to the side and looked at Xia Yiyang silently. 

“It really is a long time.” Shen Luo said in a barely audible voice.
