Full Cup of Water - Chap 7
Su Zhong had a very heady smell. His skin was permeated with an earthy, musky scent.
Xin Qianyu gently rubbed the tip of his nose against Su Zhong’s chest, feeling the surge of heat.
Su Zhong’s body was as tempting as his appearance.
Xin Qianyu felt that he was going to sink, and suddenly what his mother had said during the day rang out in his mind at that inopportune moment: Men are like dogs.
A light was on and shone on the two entangled people, falling on the grey wall. Wasn’t that silhouette like a dog?
Xin Qianyu smiled silently. That was also good.
Su Zhong was always well-dressed on weekdays, with his shirt buttoned to the top. The tall white collar wrapped his sexy neck snugly. His facial expression was cold, his eyes were distant, and he was like an emotionless robot.
Only during this time……
He was like a living person.
Or even like a primitive life-form.
Xin Qianyu was extremely happy to turn into a beast with him.
It was just that as soon as his pants were back on, the humanoid came back.
Xin Qianyu was confused and felt very insecure.
Su Zhong took a shower and returned to bed in dry clothes, exuding the smell of hotel shower gel. Xin Qianyu’s heart sank slightly, and his face was still not very happy.
Su Zhong covered him with a quilt and asked, “Where are you uncomfortable?”
It was rare to show a bit of gentleness in the tone of voice that was always mechanical.
Xin Qianyu shook his head. He knew that as long as he showed a weak appearance, he could win this trace of gentleness. For this reason, Xin Qianyu would soon become a master of acting.
“Ugh.” Xin Qianyu sighed helplessly. This sigh was not fake, but he really felt utterly powerless. “The boss asked me to report back the day after tomorrow.” This was not a lie. Xin Mu was indeed Xin Qianyu’s boss.
Su Zhong did not seem to know why Xin Qianyu was worried about it. After thinking about it, he asked, “Shall I book a ticket for you?”
Xin Qianyu’s chest felt suffocated. You just put on your pants and now, you’re booking a ticket for me? This guy…….. In fact, Su Zhong only thought that Xin Qianyu looked worried because he would not be in time to book a ticket. Su Zhong even picked up his mobile phone, found an acquaintance who was a ticket agent and asked if he could book a ticket. Xin Qianyu was silent for a while before saying, “You won’t be reluctant to let me go?”
“No.” Su Zhong replied. “Work is more important.”
Xin Qianyu’s anger became even more stifling. Sure enough, he never misses me and always feels that work is the most important.
I’m so angry.
Xin Qianyu was sulky but could not expect Su Zhong to notice and sweet-talk him. He could only cover his head with a quilt and absorb this depression that was difficult to explain to others.
After a while, Su Zhong took the initiative to uncover the quilt from Xin Qianyu’s head. It was very stuffy while covered with the quilt. Fresh air poured in after it was pulled away, and Xin Qianyu’s mind cleared. He blinked and looked at Su Zhong. “Huh?”
He selfishly hoped that Su Zhong was here to sweet-talk him.
Without thinking, Su Zhong said, “The return ticket has been booked for you, and the flight will be at two o’clock tomorrow afternoon.”
Xin Qianyu was very annoyed, but this irritation could not be expressed verbally so he could only endure it silently.
After a while, Xin Qianyu said, “Then you and An Su would be the only ones left here?”
Su Zhong nodded.
Xin Qianyu was even more upset.
Since Xin Qianyu had something on his mind, he got up early the next day. When he woke up, Su Zhong had already finished washing up. Xin Qianyu cleared his mind, sat up on the bed, and said to Su Zhong, “Doesn’t that An Su bring you breakfast every day? Could you ask him to buy one more set for me?”
Su Zhong agreed and sent a message to An Su.
As the “prince” of the company, An Su did not have the consciousness of knowing one’s place as an assistant at all. He got up earlier than the rooster to buy breakfast every day just to pursue Su Zhong. He was waiting for the fresh breakfast to be made, but his phone vibrated in his pocket. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from the male god. He was overjoyed, but when he tapped open and saw the content of the message, he immediately started seething with anger. “Who does Xin Qianyu think he is? Actually asking me to buy him breakfast?”
An Su immediately refused.
Su Zhong did not feel the assistant’s refusal was disobedience. After all, it was not An Su’s job to buy breakfast for Su Zhong’s boyfriend. It should be Su Zhong’s own job.
Su Zhong looked at his watch and saw that it was still early, so he said to Xin Qianyu, “What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”
Xin Qianyu said casually, “The croissant from the X Cafe.”
Su Zhong went downstairs to buy the croissant.
It did not take long for the hotel doorbell to ring. Xin Qianyu opened the door and saw An Su standing outside, so he smiled coldly. “Oh? Food delivery?”
An Su was being ridiculed, but still endured and said, “Where’s Manager Su?”
Xin Qianyu chuckled and replied, “Weren’t you unwilling to buy me breakfast? So he had to go.”
This spoiled attitude really made An Su very jealous.
The more An Su thought about it, the angrier he became. He worked so hard to get up early to buy breakfast for Su Zhong, but Su Zhong worked so hard to get up early to buy breakfast for Xin Qianyu. Why Xin Qianyu? Was it just because of his vixen-like appearance?
Xin Qianyu seemed afraid that An Su would not be angry enough, so he said, “Zhong Ge has always loved me very much. Our relationship has always been very good. Of course, Zhong Ge’s qualifications are good, and it’s not like there are no shameless things rushing to latch onto him. However, he’s very loyal and doesn’t like anyone but me.”
These words were like a slap in An Su’s face. An Su’s cheeks were hot and red with shame and anger.
An Su gritted his teeth and said, “What shamelessness are you talking about? I think you’re the most shameless! You obviously have such poor qualifications, but can’t let go of Manager Su. If it weren’t for him, could you afford to stay in a luxury suite in this five-star hotel? Can you afford to wear these pyjamas?”
An Su could see at a glance that the silk pyjamas on Xin Qianyu were LV’s new style, and a set would cost more than 20,000 yuan. It was impossible for an ordinary English teacher to afford it and definitely cost Su Zhong money.
Xin Qianyu almost laughed out loud when he heard An Su say this, but the corners of his eyes swept across the corridor, and he immediately pretended to be weak, saying in aggrievement, “Why do you say that? Is it just because you like Zhong Ge, you can humiliate me like this?” As he spoke, Xin Qianyu rubbed his eyes and tried to squeeze out a few tears. However, his acting skills were still insufficient. He could only rub his eyes dryly and frantically until they were red to make himself seem more pitiful.
An Su became even angrier when he saw Xin Qianyu pretending like this, but before he could say anything, he heard rapid footsteps coming from behind. An Su turned his head for a look and found Su Zhong walking over quickly with a bag of breakfast, his eyes glancing at him coldly. With this cold look, An Su’s stomach knotted. “Manager Su…”
“Go,” Su Zhong said coldly. “You’re not welcome here.”
An Su’s heart tightened and his eyes were red. “I…”
Su Zhong ignored him, walked into the hotel room and closed the door in An Su’s face, completely disconnecting An Su’s words.
Xin Qianyu was still pretending to be pitiful and said to Su Zhong. “It turns out that your assistant likes you, so he looks down on me…”
“I understand. I’ll take care of this matter.” Su Zhong put the breakfast he bought on the table. “Eat it while it’s hot.”
Xin Qianyu was relieved to hear Su Zhong’s words.
Since Su Zhong said he would deal with it, he would naturally deal with it.
Although Su Zhong’s straightforwardness was sometimes hateful, his crispness was also a sharp weapon.
Xin Qianyu looked at Su Zhong with a conflicted expression. “An Su is David’s son. Are you able to be cruel to him?”
Su Zhong said, “What’s the relationship between the two?”
Xin Qianyu smiled, not knowing what to say. Speaking from a rational point of view, it would be unwise for Su Zhong to reject An Su outright. But Xin Qianyu could not stand that An Su, as an assistant, was with Su Zhong day and night, so he could only use such methods. Xin Qianyu said softly, “But…would you really reject him?” As he spoke, Xin Qianyu seemed to think of something and was slightly resentful. “As simple as rejecting me back then?”
In all honesty, this matter of being rejected by Su Zhong was a perpetual knot in Xin Qianyu’s heart. Xin Qianyu was a proud person and had never really suffered such setbacks.
“When did I reject you?” Su Zhong was puzzled.
Xin Qianyu recalled grudgingly, “It was back then, you asked me if I was pursuing you. I said yes, and then you told me to study hard and not to waste time and energy…” Didn’t this count as a rejection?
Su Zhong said, “I just told you to study hard. I didn’t reject you.”
Xin Qianyu was dumbfounded. “Is, is that so?”
On second thought, it seemed that……
It was the case.
Based on Su Zhong’s personality, if he had really rejected him, he would have just said it directly, instead of talking about studying hard.
Therefore, for Su Zhong’s statement, “Study hard. Don’t waste time on me”, Xin Qianyu’s understanding was, “Don’t pursue me. You won’t be able to. If you have the time, use it to read more books”. But Su Zhong meant, “I agree to be your partner, so don’t waste time pursuing me and study hard.”
Xin Qianyu’s expression became ugly as if he doubted life. Didn’t he reject me back then?
When I was pursuing him so diligently after that, was I pursuing someone who had already been won over by me?
Xin Qianyu was in a daze as if he had seen a foolish dog chasing his tail in circles.
