CH 23

Shen Qingshu took a taxi and arrived at the Han company group as fast as possible.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Shen Qingyu and Yan Jiayu talking happily. Tut Tut, they really are green tea. When two green tea gather, their watery eyes and the taste of tea is the same.

Shen Qingshu went to the front desk and said to her, “I’m looking for Han Cheng.”

“Do you have an appointment?”

“I should.” Shen Qingshu said, “He asked me to come.”

“Are you Mr. Shen Qingshu?” Asked the front desk.

Shen Qingshu nodded.

The front desk stood up and walked to him, “President Han has explained before. Please come through.”

Shen Qingshu followed her and watched as she scanned her lanyard and the gate opened automatically.

“Thank you.” Shen Qingshu said politely.

“You’re welcome.”

When the front desk finished, they prepared to return to their post.

Shen Qingyu and Yan Jiayu watched as Shen Qingshu had walked in. They both stood up and walked over.

Shen Qingyu took two quick steps and shouted, “Ge ge.”

Shen Qingshu turned back. Shen Qingyu came to him and grabbed his arm. “Brother, why are you here? Come home with me. My parents are worried about you.”

Yan Jiayu listened quietly, his eyes wandering between them.

Shen Qingshu pushed his hand away and pretended that he had just noticed him here. “Why are you here?”

“I’m looking for you.” Shen Qingyu said with a smile, “I guessed Han ge should know where you are, so I came to him to ask about you.”

“Really? Then you’ve seen me now. You can go.”

“Ge ge, come with me. My parents are worried about you.”

Yan Jiayu said, “So you are brothers. Then Xiao Shen, go home with your brother, or your parents will be worried.”

“Do you have the right to speak?” Shen Qingshu turned to look at him. “You rush to take care of other people’s housework. You’re really free.”

Yan Jiayu didn’t expect him to be so impolite. He said innocently, “I also have your best interests in mind.”

“Who are you? Thinking for my sake? Those words are so cheap. Since you’re so good to me, why don’t you go back with him? I think you two have the same attributes and can study tea art together.”

Yan Jiayu: …

Shen Qingyu hurriedly said, “Ge ge, don’t be like this. Jiayu Ge is also trying to help me. If you hate me. Just scold me. Don’t misdirect your anger at others.”

“Then he’s really interesting.” Shen Qingshu smiled. “Obviously he wants to help you, but it’s for my own good. Then he’s outright lying to me. It’s amazing how he can cheat people without blushing or increased heart rate.”

“I’m not.” Yan Jiayu argued, “I really want to help you.”

“You heard that Xiao Yu,” Shen Qingshu looked at Shen Qingyu, “Don’t think too highly of yourself. Others don’t want to help you at all. You think everything in the world revolves around you and anyone who meets you will love you.”

Shen Qingyu: …

Yan Jiayu could only say again, “That’s not what I meant.”

“So what do you mean? Neither this nor that, do you even know what you want to say? When you speak randomly, us innocent brothers are the ones in conflict.

Yan Jiayu: ? ? ? Who said everything? Isn’t everything said by you?!

Yan Jiayu was so angry that he didn’t want to talk to him. He tried to push past him to enter. However, Shen Qingshu lifted his shoulder and pushed him back. Before taking the lead himself to go in.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyu immediately followed in.

Yan Jiayu was unwilling to be outdone and rushed in at the last second before the gate closed.

“Who let you in?” Shen Qingshu looked at Shen Qingyu and said, “Go back.”

“I won’t go.” Shen Qingyu finally came in. He was about to see Han Cheng. He was unwilling to leave at this time.

“Brother, if you don’t go, I won’t go.”

Hearing this Shen Qingshu said coldly, “You dare to threaten your brother. Your courage has grown day by day.”

He glanced at the front desk standing next to him and was ready to act according to circumstances. “Hello, how do you usually deal with people who break into your company?”

Seeing this, the front desk confirmed that Shen Qingyu and Shen Qingshu were not given permission to meet Han Cheng and quickly called the security guard.

Shen Qingyu didn’t expect Shen Qingshu to use force. He took his arm and said wrongly, “I just want you to go home. Is that so wrong?”

“There’s nothing wrong with this, but you and I are different. You miss your family. I love hard work. You want to be a rice bug. As your brother I don’t object, but you can’t stop my pace of hard work, can you?”

“I didn’t!”

Shen Qing patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, I don’t blame you. It’s not your fault. Your parents doted on you until you became a waste, so you need to go home. Brother is going to contribute to the national GDP!”1

After saying this he looked at the security guard who came, “Take them away quickly. Don’t let them affect me meeting president Han, or he will call again to complain later.”

When the security guard heard the speech, he immediately took away Shen Qingyu. While despising him in his heart, such a big man is idling at home. He’s really worthless!

Shen Qingyu was infuriated as he struggled, “Shen Qingshu, how can you slander me like this?!”

“Have I slandered you? Aren’t you old enough to go to work on weekdays? Why don’t you go to work? All right, you’re willing to degenerate yourself. Don’t pull me down too. I’m going to discuss work.”

When he finished, he didn’t forget to say to the security guard, “This is my waste of a brother. Please keep an eye on him. Don’t let him in next time, Mr. Han doesn’t like him.”

When the security guard heard the speech, he nodded again and again. He sympathised, it was not easy for him to support such an unsuccessful brother. Acting like a dog here. Why didn’t he know how to work hard!

“Understood.” The security guard affirmed.

Satisfied Shen Qingshu walked towards the elevator, ignoring the cries of Shen Qingyu.

As soon as he walked into the elevator, he saw a man standing next to him. Oh, forgot there were two Shen Qingyu and Yan Jiayu. Green tea always appeared in pairs.

But it doesn’t matter. Shen Qingyu has been solved. Can Yan Jiayu be far off?

Shen Qing pressed the floor button and looked at Yan Jiayu. “What’s the reason for Jiayu gege coming today?”

Yan Jiayu has just been abused by him. At this time, he is still angry, and his tone is inevitably not so good, “ I can’t afford you calling me gege.”

Shen Qingshu was not humble, so he said, “What are you here for today, Xiao Yan?”

Yan Jiayu:… This is also unpleasant!

“I’m looking for Xiao Chen.” He deliberately said, “You too?”

“Of course.” Shen Qingshu smiled and looked at him, “You can come find him. Why can’t I?”

“I’m his friend. I accompanied him through high school and college for seven years.”

“Oh ~” Shen Qing nodded. “That’s the seven-year itch.”

Yan Jiayu was annoyed. “Don’t dream of the impossible. Our relationship is very good. Also what do you know? I’ve known Xiao Chen for ten years. How about you? Ten weeks?”

Shen Qingshu smiled and sang to him, “Ten years ago, you didn’t know him. He didn’t know you. You were still strangers and walked slowly through the familiar streets as before. Ten years later, you were friends and just friends and greeted each other as friends. As friends you can’t find the reason to hug tenderly anymore. Friends will inevitably become…”2

He turned to Yan Jiayu and softly ended, “Strangers.”

Yan Jiayu’s face instantly turned foul. “Are you jealous? Jealous that I have known him for so long!”

“How is that possible.” Shen Qingshu said with a smile, “He’s not around a stranger now, but around me. What can I envy?”

“But he has been with me for seven years.”

“But you’re just friends.” Shen Qingshu said with a smile, “Who hasn’t had many friends in his life? He just treats you as a friend. Not only you, there are also his high school classmates and college classmates. What is there to envy?”

“There are so many people, and yet you were not there.

“Now out of them all, by his side is just me.” Shen Qingshu said with a smile, “Isn’t that so?”

“And,” he said calmly, looking at Yan Jiayu, “I’m not his friend.”

When he finished, the elevator door opened and Shen Qingshu walked out with a radiant face.

Of course, he is not Han Cheng’s friend. He is Han Cheng’s car friend, so he didn’t lie.

Seeing them come in, Han Cheng’s secretary stood up and asked, “Hello, who are you?”

“Shen Qingshu.”

“This way.” The secretary took him into Han Cheng’s office.

Inside Han Cheng was reading a report when he heard a knock on the door. As soon as he looked up, he saw the secretary open the door and Shen Qingshu came in.

He was about to speak when he saw Yan Jiayu coming in with him.

Han Cheng looked at Shen Qingshu in surprise. What’s the matter? Why did he bring Yan Jiayu up?!

After some thought since it’s too late and he was already here. Shen Qing will deal with him.

Shen Qingshu waltzed into Han Cheng’s office and sat directly on the sofa. Before Han Cheng and Yan Jiayu spoke, he took the lead.

“I don’t like him. Kick him out.” He pointed to Yan Jiayu.

Yan Jiayu was surprised and looked at him in amazement.

Han Cheng didn’t expect him to be so straightforward. He could only cooperate and say, “This… Jiayu, you’d better leave first.”

Yan Jiayu couldn’t believe it. “What are you talking about? You’re driving me away for him?!”

“Didn’t you persuade me to go home downstairs? Now I also advise you to go home and walk slowly.” Shen Qingshu smiled.

“I did it for you!” Yan Jiayu angrily said, “Your brother wants you to go home, as your parents are worried about you. Is it wrong for me to advise you to go home?”

“Then I’m also for your sake. Don’t your parents worry about you? Is it wrong that I want you to go home?”

“Are you doing this for me? You obviously don’t want to meet my Xiao Cheng

“Fine I agree you’re for my sake, okay? I can also say you obviously don’t want me to meet Xiao Cheng ~”

Yan Jiayu was so incensed with him.

Han Cheng watched and secretly gave Shen Qingshu a thumbs up. Good work!

“So you go back.” Shen Qingshu made persistent efforts.

“Go back first.” Han Cheng sings with his husband.

“You’re on his side!” Yan Jiayu looked at the man in front of him, “Xiao Cheng, we have known each other for ten years. How can you turn against just for him!”

“He’s in a bad mood now. You should let him have his way.”

“Then I’m in a good mood? Why don’t you let him let appease me?”

“So you should go back first. When you go back, you won’t need to see each other, and you can be in a better mood.”

“Then why can’t he leave?”

“Of course he can’t bear to part with me.” Shen Qingshu said, “Aren’t you reluctant to part with me, Xiao Cheng?”

Why do you imitate me to call him Xiao Cheng?!

Han Cheng took a glance and saw Shen Qingshu’s smiling until his eyes bent. It was clear that he was deliberately calling him that.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to correct Shen Qingshu’s address at this time. He could only cooperate with Shen Qingshu and gently gaze at him with affectionate eyes, with the correct response, “En.”

Yan Jiayu: ! ! !

He dared to “En”, he really replied “En”!

“So can you leave?” Shen Qingshu continued his duty. “We have something private to discuss. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to be here.”

Han Cheng also echoed, “You go first. If you ignore him again, he will call the security guard.”

Shen Qingshu: … Oh, thanks for reminding me.

Yan Jiayu thought of his ruthless attitude towards Shen Qingyu and felt that he could really do such a thing. When he cast an aggrieved look at Han Cheng, he saw Shen Qingshu go over and turn Han Cheng’s head to face him.

“Look at me.” Shen Qingshu said sternly, and then he tilted his head and smiled.

Amused by his action, Han Cheng felt that he was inexplicably cute. He reached out and rubbed his head.

Yan Jiayu looked at the tenderness in his eyes and felt as if he fell into an ice cellar.

He turned and strode out and the door slammed shut behind him.

Seeing that he was gone, Shen Qingshu loosened his hand and looked at Han Cheng, “How was I?”

“Awesome!” Han Cheng boasted.

“Naturally.” Shen Qingshu is not modest at all.

He sat back on the sofa. “You work, I’ll write the rest of my chapters, and then you’ll invite me to dinner at noon.”

“Okay.” Han Cheng promised.

Shen Qingshu was writing a note on his mobile phone. When suddenly he thought of something and turned back to him, calling out “Xiao Cheng ~”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng narrowed his eyes. “Do you need me to read and recite the full text for you?”

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qing snorted, “You always use the same trick!”

“There’s no need to have numerous. As long as it works, one move is enough to deal with you.”

Shen Qingshu puffed up his cheeks angrily. He’s so angry. He doesn’t have such a sure kill skill. It’s unfair!

He bowed his head and speedily typed, venting his resentment against Han Cheng on Cheng Han. Since he can’t retaliate against him in the third dimension, let his counterpart help him in the second dimension!

Shen Qingshu wrote ruthlessly. Poor Cheng Han is rejected by his wife outside the door again. Don’t mention getting in the car. Not even the car tires can be touched.

Cheng Han is very aggrieved. He has specially moved next door to Su Qing. He doesn’t care that he has two children, let alone that he once had a wife. Why is Su Qing so ruthless to him? He’s too scummy!

Cheng Han feels so miserable!

Yan Jiayu stormed out of Hancheng’s office. He was angry, wronged and uncomfortable. As a result, when the elevator reached the first floor, he seemed to think of something. He pressed the button again and watched the elevator floors rise a little, with a faint hope in his heart.

He walked onto this familiar floor, looked at Han Yu’s secretary and asked, “Is Mr. Han there?”

Seeing him, the secretary said politely, “Mr. Han is busy. Come back another day.”

Yan Jiayu bowed her head to call Han Yu, but Han Yu didn’t answer.

He is always this way. He never answers his calls.

Yan Jiayu had not choice but to send him a wechat message: [Gege, I’m in your company now. Do you have time? I want to see you.]

Han Yu did not reply.

Yan Jiayu continued: “I’m already outside your office.”

Han Yu looked at it and was annoyed. He didn’t like the man who swam between their brothers and said he loved him, but wanted his younger brother to be his spare tire.

If he hadn’t been afraid of how he would retaliate through Han Cheng, Han yu would have already blocked him.

Han Yu replied: [There is no time]

Seeing that he had replied, Yan Jiayu hurriedly sent: [Can’t we just meet briefly?]

Han Yu: [I’m busy.]

Yan Jiayu was completely devastated now.

He said to Han Yu: [You really don’t like me at all]

Han Yu is indifferent: [En.]

Yan Jiayu felt that his eyes were a little sore, looking at the word “en”. He was really cruel. At this time, he didn’t even want to say a superfluous word.

Just an “en” word, merely the “en” word.

For Han Yu, his feelings for so many years are worth the one word “en”.

How ridiculous, but this is Han Yu, is the Han Yu he likes the most.

Nevertheless…

Yan Jiayu clenched the mobile phone. Since there was no hope with Han Yu, he had to give up.

He tried but failed, so he gave up.

He should have given up long ago. If he chose not Han Yu but Han Cheng from the beginning, they would be together now. How can there be a Shen Qingshu!

When Yan Jiayu thought of this, he couldn’t help harshly gripping his mobile phone. It doesn’t matter. He comforted himself that he and Han Cheng had been friends for ten years. When the two of them were ambiguous, Shen Qingshu didn’t know where he was!

Before, he was not serious enough and didn’t care enough about Han Cheng. He just wanted to chase Han Yu, which gave Shen Qingshu space to sneak in.

But now he is back and willing to seriously chase Han Cheng. With their feelings for so many years, he is sure to get Han Cheng in the end.

He knows Han Cheng too well. After all, they have known each other since high school.

Yan Jiayu made up his mind. Finally, he took a look in the direction of Han Yu’s office, and then turned to the elevator.

Han Cheng worked until 11:30 before finishing his morning work.

Shen Qingshu hasn’t finished writing yet, so he waited for a while. At 11:50, he saw that Shen Qingshu finally put down his mobile phone and shook out his hand. “I’m tired to death but l made good progress.”

“You’re pretty serious.” Han Cheng said.

Because the contents are your sad and miserable scenes, Shen Qingshu thought to himself, but he didn’t dare to say that. He only laughed and said perfunctorily, “That’s because this is my job and I love my job.three hundred and sixty lines, the best in the industry.”3

Han Cheng: …

“You are the most narcissistic person I have ever met.”

“That’s because you have experienced too little.”

“Yeah but I still know a little bit more than you.” Han Cheng stood up.

Shen Qingshu squinted at him. “Don’t think I can’t hear you mocking me.”

Han Cheng laughed, walked over and pulled him up from the sofa. “Let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“What are we eating?” Shen Qingshu asked curiously.

“There’s a Sichuan restaurant near here that’s good.”

“Oay.” Shen Qingshu was not picky, “I’m hungry.”

“Can’t your spiritual food satisfy you?”

“Of course not. Besides, I’m a producer of spiritual food, not a consumer of spiritual food. Won’t I be more hungry producing without consumption?”

Han Cheng chuckled and left the office with him.

He swiped his elevator card and took Shen Qingshu all the way to the underground parking garage without stopping.

The two of them walked over to the car. As soon as they got to the car, they saw Shen Qingyu standing not far away, waiting in ambush.

“Gege, you’re out.” Shen Qingyu looked at him with a smile.

Shen Qingshu’s intuition rang and he frowned, “What do you want to do?”

“Nothing. It’s just that gege’s ex boyfriend missed you, so I brought him to see you.”

When he finished, he moved sideways. Shen Qingshu saw Li Hui coming out of a nearby car.

Shen Qingshu: …

“Long time no see, Qingqing.” Li Hui smiled.

After that, his eyes turned to face Han Cheng, “Is this your current boyfriend? Hello, I’m his ex boyfriend Li Hui. I just broke up with him for half a month. You should know me. After all, he loves me so much and is willing to do anything for me. Oh, by the way, he told me personally that I was his first love.”

Hancheng: ! ! !

Han Cheng looked at Shen Qingshu in shock, “ex boyfriend? First love!”

2From Eason Chang song ‘Ten years’. Here’s the original lyrics from https://lyricstranslate.com/en/%E5%8D%81%E5%B9%B4-ten-years.html

We didn’t even know each other at all

We were all the same, stayed by a stranger`s side

Walking through the familiar street

Ten years later

We’re still friends and greet each other

But for that affection, we can’t find a reason to embrace any more

Lovers are meant to be friends in the end

We’ve been friends for many years

Now I know the tears I cry

Not only for you, but also for the others
