Chapter 67
Chapter 67
My waist and legs hurt for a week.Don't know who to blame.
Never having done anything so indulgent, I leaned back in a soft office chair and reflected for a long time, thinking I was to blame.
Ever since I learned about Shen Nanyu's childhood, I have pampered him a lot, and Fu Zhiheng, I have always been used to letting him mess around.
After all, being soft-hearted is not a good thing.
So maybe out of some sort of sullenness, or maybe just physical weariness, I didn't let either of them get close to me all this time.Including Fu Zhiheng, who was driven to the study by me to sleep for three days.
Unlike Fu Zhiheng who wrote his dissatisfaction on his face, Shen Nanyu is much more considerate, even if he stays with me, he doesn't bother me to do anything, and often just stays with me quietly, and will come to me when I need it around.
As for what happened that day, after all, he wasn't thick-skinned enough to bring it up again.
The days passed steadily for a while, and the short autumn passed, and the temperature suddenly dropped to zero.Sometimes when I go out in the morning, I can see a thin layer of frost on the car windows on the side of the road.
Fu Zhiheng began to dress up in my favorite look, a knee-length coat, cashmere fabric that feels warm and textured, paired with a black turtleneck sweater, and sometimes a scarf.I didn't say I liked seeing him dressed like this, but every time he was dressed like this, I would take a few extra glances.
Slowly he seemed to have discovered something, as long as I stared at the clothes for more than five seconds, he would wear them for two consecutive days for the first time ever.
Fu Zhiheng is also keen to buy me clothes and accessories that match him. For example, if he wears a camel-colored long coat, he will buy me a short coat of the same color and brand; Buy me a beige one of the same style.In addition, he is more and more fond of coming to our company to brush his face without incident, and gradually even the new interns know him.
One day I stepped out of the elevator and heard two employees in front of me chatting over coffee.
"I saw the boss and his boyfriend downstairs just now, tsk, what a match."
"What boyfriend, he's engaged."
"Huh? Wow... No wonder it always looks like an old married couple."
……
I had no choice but to stop and wait for them to go first, in case they found out that I could hear them from behind.Unexpectedly, after turning a corner, it was still the voices of these two people: "Morning, Assistant Shen, are you here to find Mr. Shi?"
Then came a familiar voice: "Well, he doesn't seem to be in the office."
Mr. Fang's case has been in court recently, and Shen Nanyu has more and more reasons to run to our company every three days. I don't know if it's because he looks too decent and indifferent, but no one has ever doubted it.
I walked over and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
The two employees turned their heads in unison, "Morning boss."
"Morning." I nodded and looked at Shen Nanyu, "Come to my office and talk."
The two of us entered the office one after the other, before the door was closed tightly, Shen Nanyu grabbed my wrist as if he couldn't wait, pulled me into his arms forcefully, and then pushed the door behind him.
"I heard it." There was a little dissatisfaction in his voice, "They said that you and Fu Zhiheng are perfect."
It was cold, and he was wearing a thick coat, so it didn't hurt to bump into it. I raised my head to meet his gaze, and said without changing my face, "I didn't hear that."
Of course Shen Nanyu would not blame me for anything, he would only find fault with Fu Zhiheng overtly and secretly, "He cheated."
Seeing him look a little angry and aggrieved, I couldn't help laughing: "Why is he cheating?"
"Relying on being your fiance, he takes you to and from get off work every day." Shen Nanyu said seriously.
I didn't know that this kind of thing could also be called cheating, so I said helplessly and funnyly: "You also rely on being a paralegal to secretly date me."
Perhaps it was the word "dating" that made him feel happy, Shen Nanyu frowned, and whispered: "Anyway, he is cheating."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, looked at me and asked, "When the case is over, can I still come to you?"
"Anytime is fine," I said.
Shen Nanyu's eyes lit up, he hugged me and said, "Thank you."
He has no class this afternoon. When we had lunch together, he asked me if I was free to accompany him to a place later.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Temporary secrecy." Shen Nanyu showed a mysterious smile, "You will know when we arrive."
I have been resting during this time, I have not been to places other than the company and home for a long time, I thought about it and agreed: "Okay."
Today is cloudy with no wind, and the weather is a bit gloomy, but not particularly cold.Shen Nanyu said that the place we were going to was not far away, the two of us did not drive, we walked together holding hands for more than ten minutes, and he took me to a quiet small park in the city.
It is said to be a park, but it is more like a green space for people to take a walk and rest. Except for a few old people playing chess around the stone table, there are only children who have just finished school squatting on the side of the road playing game consoles.
"It's cooling down, and we need to prepare a new house for the kitten." Shen Nanyu led me to the lawn, where there are several loving cat houses built by stray animal organizations. He dragged out a cardboard box from nowhere and opened it. planks and some cushions.
The two of us squatted down, and a fluffy head poked out from a certain cat house, and meowed at Shen Nanyu tentatively.
"This is glutinous rice. I just gave birth to a kitten last month. The original house is not enough." Shen Nanyu said while spreading out the tools, looking very skilled.
"By the way, don't move around." He didn't forget to tell me, "Be careful not to hurt your hands."
Being reminded like this by a person who is seven or eight years younger than me, I couldn't help but feel hot, and whispered: "Then what can I do?"
Shen Nanyu turned his head and smiled at me: "It's good that you stay with me."
He gave me the mats that he was going to lay in the kitten’s house as cushions. I sat on the lawn and watched him carefully assemble the cat litter, and occasionally handed him a few needed parts.
The little white cat named Nuomi probably knew Shen Nanyu, and gradually put down his guard against me, came out of his room, meowed softly, and paced back and forth around Shen Nanyu.
"Be good, go and play with your brother over there." Shen Nanyu patted its head, "I'm busy."
So Nuomi really came to look for me, first stopped two steps away and looked at me for a while, then came over and squatted in front of me.
Shen Nanyu took out a cat strip from his pocket and asked me to feed it glutinous rice.The kitten who got the food became more and more trusting of me. After eating, he boldly jumped on me and found a comfortable position to lie between my legs.
The sky is getting dark, and the street lights are lit up with warm yellow.Unknowingly, something icy and cold fell on my face. I didn't pay attention at first, but when I realized it, I raised my head and saw under the beam of the street lamp, there seemed to be fine ice crystals falling one after another.
Shen Nanyu also raised his head, looked at it for a while, and muttered to himself, "It's snowing..."
After speaking, he turned his head to look at me, with a soft smile gradually overflowing from his eyes, and said, "It's snowing."
I looked at him and smiled unconsciously, "Well, it's snowing."
The first snow in early winter fell without warning, silently and softly, like Shen Nanyu looking at me at this moment.
Those little snowflakes disappeared before they hit the ground. I stretched out a hand and felt the coolness of them melting on my fingertips.But Nuomi still nestled obediently in my arms, looked up and yawned lazily.
The work in Shen Nanyu's hands was coming to an end, he wiped away the broken hair stuck to his forehead by the melting snow with the back of his hand, and said to himself: "It seems that something is missing..."
I also looked at the near-complete cat house and thought about what he was talking about.
"I remember," he tapped his head with his knuckles, "I forgot to make a door sign."
As soon as the words were finished, a bunch of car lights came on behind me. Shen Nanyu and I turned our heads together and saw a familiar car parked not far away.
Then I remembered that I forgot to tell Fu Zhiheng when I came out to play, and it was hard for him to find here.
Fu Zhiheng didn't get out of the car immediately, he looked in the car for a long time before getting out with a black umbrella.After getting off the car, he didn't come here, but tilted his head at me, showing a questioning expression.
"Wait for me." I said.
He smiled helplessly and dotingly, "Yeah."
The snowflakes fell gently like blown dandelions. With Fu Zhiheng's headlights, Shen Nanyu and I finally didn't have to squint our eyes to look for parts.
If it was before, Fu Zhiheng would definitely come over to help me hold the umbrella and blame me for being careful of catching a cold in the snow, but now he is leaning against the car, lighting a cigarette for himself in a leisurely manner, and watching Shen Nan and me quietly Island builds a house for the kitten.
Time became gentle and slow at this moment, the church bell rang in the distance, and the snow stopped.
