MTL - Assistant Lin Has Something To Say-Chapter 33

After get off work in the evening, Lin Hui and He Jianshan arrived at Xue Pei's newly opened restaurant on time.

The restaurant is called "Yinxian" in the food street west of Jinghua. As you can see from the name, the main focus is seafood. Xue Pei bought an old building at the end of the street, with the theme of boat and sea, and asked the designer to redo the decoration design, which not only improved the grade, but also took into account the atmosphere.

The two sat down in the box, and Xue Pei sat down with them. When He Jianshan saw the table full of seafood, Xue Pei kept calling them to eat, and he didn't seem to want to leave, so he asked: "The store seems to be busy, don't you need to help?"

"It's okay, there are enough people. And I've already paid for it, and I'm required to contribute, so it's boring to be the boss."

Lin Hui smiled and glanced at He Jianshan: "Wanzhu's busiest person is the boss."

"I can't compare to your boss. You see that I have such a strong personal relationship with him that I still can't make an appointment, even half a month in advance."

"Didn't I come today, the same."

I told you to come to me when you get off the plane. If Lin Hui does not go to work on Sunday, he can come here earlier, but I have to say something, what a big thing, so I don’t even have dinner?”

He Jianshan laughed: "A major event in life."

Lin Hui's face was hot, he didn't dare to look at He Jianshan, he just kept his head down and didn't speak.

"Have you been to Lao He's house?"

"I've been there, what's wrong?"

"Have you seen the bathtub in his house?" Xue Pei was excited, "Isn't that bathroom in his house very luxurious, especially the bathtub looks super enjoyable."

Lin Hui couldn't help but secretly glanced at He Jianshan, but found that He Jianshan was looking at him. The two looked at each other, Lin Hui quickly looked away, and stammered, "Oh, oh, that..."

Xue Pei was very excited: "When I first saw it, I was really greedy, I was greedy to death, but unfortunately it was too expensive, I couldn't afford it. You said it was a waste for Lao He? He is so A person who doesn't know how to enjoy, would rather leave ashes than use them."

He Jianshan was noncommittal: "Who told you I wouldn't use it?"

"You just use it to raise fish, you won't even take a bath." Xue Pei said firmly.

"You're right, it's fish farming."

Xue Pei was a little confused when he saw He Jianshan's words: "Ah? Really? What kind of fish?"

He Jianshan paused: "Mermaid."

“—cough—”

He Jianshan and Xue Pei looked at the perpetrator, who was shaking, and Lin Hui said with a flushed face, "I'm sorry, this is a bit spicy and I choked."

Xue Pei saw that it was fried sea melon seeds with pepper. He hurriedly stood up: "Then I will tell the chef quickly, don't make it too spicy. Lao He said that you can eat spicy food well, but if you are too spicy, it must not work." He went out.

There were only two people left in the house, and it suddenly became quiet.

He Jianshan took a cup of coconut milk and put it in front of Lin Hui: "Water is not spicy, drink a drink."

Lin Hui glared at him.

He Jianshan wanted to laugh inexplicably, but said innocently, "Assistant Lin, you've used this trick for the second time."

Lin Hui felt that at the moment his face was so hot that the seafood could be steamed. He Jianshan said that he would accept it or not, and he would not accept it. By default, he was the mermaid ; Don't take it, I'm really embarrassed. He thought silently: Is this still the He Jianshan I know? Did he use the one he used at the mall against me?

Assistant Lin, who has always been articulate, suddenly fell into a crisis of lack of words!

"Just bully me." Lin Hui muttered, and couldn't help but use his honorific title again.

He Jianshan smiled again, he stretched out his hand in Lin Hui's direction: "Come, Lin Hui."

Lin Hui looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly put his hand into his palm.

He Jianshan grabbed his hand.

I don't know if the air conditioner is on in the house, but He Jianshan's palm is very hot, with a slight dampness. He Jianshan said in a low voice, "Look, I'm sweating, and I'm also nervous."

Lin smiled and said, "I don't believe it."

"I—" He Jianshan was about to say something when he heard the door lock suddenly turn with a "click", and Lin Hui withdrew his hand with a "swoosh". Sure enough, Xue Pei pushed open the door and walked in. He was holding a serving of garlic and bamboo razor. When he looked up, he saw He Jianshan looking at him expressionlessly, while Lin Hui was sipping his drink.

Xue Pei showed it: "...This razor is very fat."

He put the dishes on the table and sat down again: "Speaking of which, why did you two turn around today—"

He clicked He Jianshan: "Old He, there are more words—"

He Jianshan is the kind of person who drinks in private and does not talk much, but today it is rare to keep talking all the time, and his desire to express is too strong.

Then he turned his attention to Lin Hui: "Lin Hui, don't say a word."

In recent years, because He Jianshan always loves to take Lin Hui with him, and even Xue Pei is very familiar with him. As long as the three of them eat together, he and Lin Hui are basically chatting non-stop. Lin Hui was born with a strong affinity and could chat happily with anyone.

Xue Pei's suspicious eyes turned between the two, Lin Hui seemed very calm: "I said less because your seafood is delicious, boss Xue? I'm busy eating. !"

Xue Pei frowned and shook his head: "Don't you have a conflict because of your work?"

He Jianshan was dumbfounded: "Xue Pei, actually we—"

"No noise." Lin Hui suddenly interrupted He Jianshan. He Jianshan was taken aback and looked at him. Lin Hui avoided his gaze, looked at Xue Pei and said with a smile, "I'm tired from the last day's work, so I don't want to talk anymore."

"Then eat more and make up."

After dinner, He Jianshan drove Lin back home. Originally worried about going to Xue Pei's side to drink, the two only drove out in one car. Lin Hui sat in the co-pilot, feeling a little uneasy. He couldn't stop looking at He Jianshan, and couldn't help but say, "Are you angry?"

He Jianshan glanced at him: "I'm not angry."

He paused for a while, then said again: "You interrupted me suddenly today, are you worried that I will tell you about our relationship?"

Lin Hui was silent for a while, then nodded.

"Actually, I didn't mean to say this at the time. However, I'm a little curious now, why don't I want to say it?"

He Jianshan's voice just fell, and the car has reached its destination. Lin Hui came out of the car, and a gust of cold wind made him sneeze. Before he could react, He Jianshan took out a scarf from the car and wrapped it around Lin Hui's neck. The air conditioner in the car warmed the scarf on the floor. Lin Hui glanced at it, and he was suddenly stunned. After a while, he whispered, "I gave you this scarf."

He Jianshan didn't understand why he was so surprised: "Yes, you remember."

Lin recalled, how could he forget?

Wanzhu Group has a birthday benefit: employees can receive a gift on their birthday, including a half-day holiday, a shopping card of 500 yuan and a small cake, even He Jianshan exception. But in the entire Wanzhu, He Jianshan may be the only one who didn't enjoy this benefit: he never used it during the holidays; the cakes were distributed to other people in the office; and the shopping card, he usually returned to Lin directly.

At first, Lin Hui didn't know what it meant, He Jianshan just said "you keep it" and left, Lin Hui thought he was going to buy something for him, so he kept it at Waiting for him to explain in the drawer. Later, when He Jianshan's birthday was the next year, he threw another card over, and he realized that this card should have been given to him.

Just like that, every birthday, every year a card. In the sixth year, the administrative staff simply gave the shopping card directly to Lin Hui. Lin Hui was really helpless, he opened the drawer, and there were five cards neatly in it. He thought: Is this also called a birthday?

Although he has no parents since he was a child and his family is poor, his grandmother is a very particular person. Every birthday, he must cook a delicious meal and buy him a gift. Later, when he went to college, even if his birthdays were at school, his grandmother would always remember to call him on time, and take the trouble to tell him that he must eat well, buy gifts, and not give up money on his birthday.

In his view, birthday is a very important thing. But He Jianshan didn't seem to care at all.

Lin Hui looked at the figure who was working hard in the office, looked at the card in his hand, took the car key and went out the door.

In the afternoon, Lin Hui came back from outside with a bag in his hand. As soon as he came back, he went directly to He Jianshan's office.

He Jianshan was looking at the document when he saw him hurried in and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Hui smiled: "Today is your birthday."

He Jianshan suddenly realized, lowered his head and continued to look at the contract: "divide the cake, and then you will—"

A paper bag appeared in front of He Jianshan.

He Jianshan raised his head in surprise.

Lin Hui scratched his hair and seemed a little embarrassed: "You have given me several cards, I have been useless, and this year's Minato bought you a gift."

He Jianshan did not speak for a long time.

Lin Hui was a little embarrassed: "Birthday is very important. You don't need the shopping card, but I can still buy this one. Would you like to take a look?"

He Jianshan did not move for a while. He didn't seem to react, and he seemed to hesitate, and even for a moment, Lin Hui felt that he was a little scared. After a while, he slowly took out the contents of the paper bag: it was a small box, wrapped tightly with dark blue striped paper, and the upper right corner was tied with a red ribbon a bow.

This is a beautifully wrapped gift waiting to be opened.

He Jianshan raised his head and looked at Lin Hui, Lin Hui's eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking a little proud: "It took me three shops to find this color of paper, it is more suitable You, the rest are too naive - you take it apart and see?"

He Jianshan carefully untied the ribbon bow, then removed the wrapping paper—

Inside is a scarf, a soft light-colored cashmere scarf, when they touch the skin, they are light and soft, like breathing.

He Jianshan smiled slightly: "Thank you."

Lin Hui seemed to be relieved: "Is it alright?"

"It's beautiful, I love it."

Lin Hui smiled and said, "Then... I wish you a happy birthday."

He Jianshan doesn't actually have the habit of wearing a scarf. The winter in Jinghua is short, and He Jianshan is basically accompanied by air conditioning and heating when going in and out. He rarely has the opportunity to wear it. But every winter, he always turns it over and puts it on the car. He always feels that there may be a sudden cold snap one day, and he needs to wear this scarf to resist all the cold.

The two recovered from their memories and looked at each other in unison.

Lin Hui stroked the scarf and said softly, "I haven't seen you wear it before, so I thought you didn't like it."

"This is my birthday present, remember to return it to me when you run out."

Lin Hui hid in the scarf and started laughing: "You don't bring it."

The two laughed and started walking towards home slowly. After all, it was winter, and after nine o'clock, not even a person could be seen on the road. He Jianshan took Lin Hui's hand and put it in his pocket.

"Okay, now tell me what you think."

The night wind rustled the leaves, and the heavy rain the day before left no trace. But for Lin Hui, everything is still in sight - he hasn't reacted yet, he hasn't woken up from the terrifying joy that He Jianshan said to himself "falling in love".

"We're only a day old...I'm probably...not used to..."

When Lin Hui said these words, he thought it was absurd: he had a crush on He Jianshan for so many years, and now that the two are really together, he felt it was too fast and not used to it, What's more, they have even done the most intimate thing between lovers. He was a little frustrated, he didn't know how to describe his mood to He Jianshan, it sounded strange and hypocritical.

But He Jianshan nodded: "You're right." He squeezed Lin Hui's fingers in his pocket, "Then let's get used to holding hands first—this way, you will feel not comfortable?"

Lin Hui shook his head. He thought, how could it be uncomfortable, in fact, it was too comfortable - they even fit their bodies so well, the tremor and desire from the depths of the soul almost made Lin Hui unable to face himself.

He Jianshan smiled lightly: "Do you think, why can I be so calm and reasonable in the matter of love?"

He Jianshan guessed right, Lin Hui did think so, and he was even a little unconvinced: I liked him first, why do I still feel that I can't talk to him?

"Do you deliberately pay attention to how you breathe?" He Jianshan suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Lin Hui shook his head.

"I've always been alone and it took me a long time to realize the 'love' thing, it's so hard to tell, like breathing, I don't realize it at all And when I want to understand this, then when facing you, what I say, do, everything is as natural as breathing.”

Love tames time, it melts in every second, every glance and every passing moment, He Jianshan has no way to strip it from his life.

As if thinking of something, He Jianshan laughed again: "Actually, when I walked this road to find you yesterday, I kept thinking, why is this road so long, why are you still Didn't show up? I wanted to invite you to a movie, wanted to tell you that I wanted to pursue you, thought about whether to apologize first or talk about things first, I thought a lot, and my mind became a mess, even the moment I saw you, I still Thinking, what should I do?"

Lin Hui was a little stunned. He didn't know that his reason was as calm as He Jianshan, and there would be such a panic moment.

"Even now, if you ask me what I like about you, I may not be able to answer." He Jianshan was a little helpless, "It's hard to tell. Even if you are by my side now , even if I hold your hand, I—"

He Jianshan stopped and turned to look at Lin Hui: "I still miss you."

"I say this, I want to tell you, Lin Hui, I can't live without you, I can't wait to establish a relationship with you, the initiative in this relationship is in your hands ."

"You don't care about anything, just do it according to your own mind, accept it if you want to accept it, reject it if you want it, and play with it if you want to—"

Lin Hui couldn't help shouting: "There is no such option!"

His voice was so loud that even the wind seemed to be frightened to stop for a moment, the two were silent for a few seconds, and then laughed together.

He Jianshan straightened Lin Hui's forehead, which was ruffled by the wind, and looked at him carefully: "Like all people in love, you can ask me to do anything."

After a long time, Lin Hui said softly, "Can I?"

He Jianshan nodded.

Lin Hui's eyes were bright, he took out his hand from He Jianshan's pocket and took a step back:

"Hug me, He Jianshan, hug me."

Winter is great.

Lin recalled that he never knew that winter could be so warm—

It's not the heating and sunshine, it's not coffee and milk tea, it's not the thick clothes and the quilt at six in the morning, it's him wearing He Jianshan's scarf, and then the whole person is full of He Jianshan hugged tightly.

They share each other's heartbeat, temperature, and those who have spoken or have not spoken of love.

He thought: This winter is really good.

The author has something to say:

Everyone seems to be a little surprised by Mr. He's "knowing". In fact, Mr. He has always been very good at making Lin Hui happy at the bar, inviting him to drink some songs he likes, and writing small cards; in Changning, he said that Lin Hui did not continue to read gardening, "it was a loss for all, but it was my blessing", At that time, I didn't realize my intentions, and I started to unconsciously seduce people. He is slow in his feelings, but he is not dull, and even he is very good at "talking". I remember I mentioned that when he was chatting and laughing with people at the wine table, everyone couldn't look away. It's just that there is a bit of acting in his work, so Lin Hui has always felt that he is tired, because he is not a person who likes to talk, but in this position, he needs to talk a lot. But it's different from Lin Hui's falling in love, because there is love driving him, when he devotes himself to it, he is really sullen and knowledgeable, and also has a strong desire to express, tsk tsk, man...

It's Friday, as usual, we'll see you at 0:00 next Monday.
