The five-day vacation finally ended. Chen Yifei had never experienced such an exhausting vacation before. His only wish now was to lay in bed and sleep properly for ten plus hours. Work officially started again the day after their vacation, so Chen Yifei had another day of rest before work. However, Chen Yifei did not particularly like holidays. He found holidays to be boring because he would have nothing to do. He only felt enriched when he had something to work on. Yan Yu asked Chen Yifei to consider staying with him in his house again, but Chen Yifei decided against it in the end. Yan Yu was pretty disappointed. Despite questioning him, Chen Yifei did not reveal any concrete reasons. While Yan Yu did not have any plans for the day, he, unexpectedly, received a call from Chairman Yu inviting him out for a meal. Since Chairman Yu said that the meeting had nothing to do with work, Yan Yu told Chen Yifei to rest properly instead of having him come. Once at the restaurant, Yu Yue (俞悦)* started waving the moment he saw Yan Yu. Yan Yu returned with an enthusiastic greeting, sat down and asked, “Why are you so free today?” (T/N*: CEO Yu’s name.) Yu Yue’s expression was unexpectedly filled with distress, “Actually, I have something to discuss with you.” Yan Yu asked, confounded, asked, “About work?” Yu Yue shook his head, a hint of embarrassment in his voice, “It’s not about work but a personal issue. Since you look like someone who is pretty experienced in such things and I really need someone to talk to, or I’m gonna die from not being able to rant about it…” Yan Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry at his description, “Go ahead and feel free to talk to me about it.” Yu Yue took a big gulp of beer, as if to give himself courage, and said, “I want to pursue someone.” Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, but it was not because of how shocking Yu Yue’s love life was. Yu Yue looked like someone who would devote himself to his love. For someone to feel indifferent towards the pursuit of such a rich and devoted person, that was what Yan Yu found shocking. Yan Yu carefully asked, “Sorry if I am overstepping but, who’s this person you want to pursue?” Yu Yue’s face flushed a little as he admitted, “Don’t laugh at me, alright…? Do you remember that on New Year’s Eve I attended the al fresco performance nearby? There were quite a few policemen present to maintain order and that was when I saw him…” Yan Yu offered, “Love at first sight?” Vexed, Yue Yu replied, “Is it hard to accept? To be honest, I didn’t think I would fall in love at first sight before that day either.” Yan Yu shook his head immediately and laughed, “Not really. Falling in love at first sight sounds pretty romantic. Have you confessed?” Yue Yu shook his head, looking slightly dejected, he rocked the glass in his hand. “I have only asked for his contact information. I don’t want to scare him away.” “I don’t think it’ll go so far as to scare him away,” Yan Yu laughed. “You need to have the courage for such situations.” To be honest, Yan Yu was puzzled as to what gave Chairman Yu the wrong impression that he was experienced in love. But, since CEO Yu had already invited him out just to ask for his help, Yan Yu felt bad about not giving any decent suggestions. Yu Yue sighed, “But, he is a guy.” Yan Yu was dumbstruck and at a loss for words for a moment as he looked at Yu Yue’s sincere eyes. Yan Yu felt a sudden rush of courage and said resolutely, “It’s even better if it’s a guy. There’s nothing to be scared of! You’re cute. You can do this.” Yu Yue probably considered Yan Yu to be a decent ranting partner and described everything that had happened on that day to him in detail. Yan Yu ordered a few bottles of alcohol for them to enjoy while they talked, and the two got drunk not long after. For some reason, Yan Yu was becoming emotional as well since he found Yue Yu’s situation very relatable. He drank glass after glass and ended up dead drunk and laughed drunkenly, “CEO Yu, how do you know you have fallen for that guy? Have you not suspected that, maybe, you only wanted to be his friend?” Yu Yue was slightly more sober than Yan Yu as he admitted, “I’m not sure either, but it was very obvious at that particular moment.” Yan Yu laid his head on the table and stopped talking, letting his mind run wild. Around eight that evening, Yu Yue had no choice but to call Chen Yifei directly, apologising for getting Yan Yu drunk to the point of not being able to walk straight. Chen Yifei rushed out to where they were drinking and saw Yu Yue supporting Yan Yu as they walked out of the restaurant. As Yan Yu was slightly taller than him, Yu Yue was clearly struggling to keep Yan Yu standing upright as he supported him. Chen Yifei hurried over to take Yan Yu off Yu Yue’s shoulder and supported Yan Yu himself while he apologised profusely, before sending Yan Yu back home. Chen Yifei opened the door to the house and supported Yan Yu, who was completely intoxicated, upstairs. Just as Yan Yu missed a step on the stairs due to his unsteady steps, Chen Yifei immediately tried to steady Yan Yu, which resulted in him falling on the steps instead. Yan Yu hugged Chen Yifei’s leg, not letting go no matter how hard Chen Yifei pulled away. He even got angry when Chen Yifei tried to pull harder. Left with no choice, Chen Yifei could only sit on the steps with him. Yan Yu creased his brows as he hugged Chen Yifei’s thigh, seemingly uncomfortable. Yan Yu fumbled his hand around and touched Chen Yifei’s treasure accidentally, even fondling it unintentionally. Chen Yifei, who does not usually swear at others, wanted to swear at that moment. He quickly pushed Yan Yu’s hand away. Frustrated and angry, Chen Yifei yelled, “Stop this! Stand up!” Yan Yu hung onto Chen Yifei as if his life depended on it, his drunken voice sounded angry, “I want to go home!!”
Chen Yifei started getting impatient as he shouted back, “You are at home!” Yan Yu clung onto Chen Yifei’s neck and yelled, “Where is Chen Yifei?!” Chen Yifei tried to pull his arms away. “Chen Yifei is not here.” Yan Yu stopped suddenly and stared closely at Chen Yifei’s face. Yan Yu’s flushed cheeks and vacant look caused by his drunkenness stunned Chen Yifei momentarily. The latter immediately rolled his eyes and looked away. Yan Yu’s voice was soft, “...Can I kiss you…?” Chen Yifei pushed him away, “You’re absolutely smashed.” Yan Yu held up one finger, pleading, “Once, just once.” Chen Yifei didn’t want this to continue. “I don’t want to…” Without waiting for Chen Yifei’s full rejection, Yan Yu pulled Chen Yifei’s collar and kissed him. Yan Yu had not kissed anyone for a long time but he did not hesitate going full-out on his kiss as he pushed his tongue into Chen Yifei’s mouth, giving him a deep kiss. Chen Yifei could not react in time. While his logical mind knew he had to push Yan Yu away, his hand hesitated. Yan Yu leaned on him after the kiss, seemingly satisfied and fell fast asleep right after. Chen Yifei’s anger rose as he gathered all his strength to carry Yan Yu back into his room. Chen Yifei could not imagine what would have happened had Yan Yu still been with CEO Yu just now. When Yan Yu woke up the next day, he recalled his unruly actions on the stairs the previous night. No wonder there was a hint of anger in Chen Yifei’s eyes when he looked at him. This resulted in an extra awkward atmosphere between them on their way to the office with not a single word spoken between them throughout the ride. Yan Yu did want to apologise but seeing Chen Yifei so angry, as if he hated being kissed so much, made Yan Yu extremely unhappy. Once they reached the office, Chen Yifei did not utter a single word and went straight to his own side office once while Yan Yu sat gloomily on his chair, sulking. It was their first day of work since the holiday and Yan Yu had a meeting in a while, too. So, it would be inappropriate for him to continue sulking. During the meeting, Yan Yu could see Chen Yifei sitting on the side, his face heavy, as he took notes for the meeting, causing Yan Yu to feel needlessly flustered. But at the same time, Yan Yu seemed to have finally understood something within himself. Back in the office, Chen Yifei put the documents on Yan Yu’s desk and turned to walk away without any pauses. Yan Yu had not talked to Chen Yifei the whole morning, he could not bear it anymore. Yan Yu called out, “Chen Yifei!” Chen Yifei turned his head to look at him. “Why are you still showing such a long face?” Yan Yu asked. Chen Yifei remained silent for a moment before he replied, “Can you be more mindful next time? I can’t be with you all the time and you’re the Chairman of the board. Even if you’re close to Chairman Yu, it doesn’t mean you can trouble others and be so rude.” Yan Yu was stunned. “Why are you fussing over the details with a drunkard?” Chen Yifei did not want to do that either, but he could not control his anger. It was not as if Yan Yu could remember what he did in his drunken state the previous night. Chen Yifei asked directly, “Do you even know that I was the one who you were talking to last night?” Did he even know he kissed him last night? Yan Yu said, “Of course I do. Why do you think I kissed you!?” The atmosphere turned heavy in an instant the moment Yan Yu spat those words. Chen Yifei looked at him in silence as Yan Yu got more embarrassed by the second. At that moment, Yan Yu’s phone rang. He quickly picked up the phone as if it was his life saviour. “Hello, this is Yan Yu… Yes, yes… Please go ahead…” Chen Yifei was already back in his own office when Yan Yu finished his call. He let out a sigh as he sat and spun around on his leather chair. Yan Yu acknowledged that he had already fallen in love with Chen Yifei. That kiss from last night was far from satisfying. As it was only the first day of work, there wasn’t much for Yan Yu to do as he had delegated most of the work to the managers. Chen Yifei, on the other hand, did not leave his office at all even though Yan Yu knew that he had nothing much to do. Yan Yu sulked and finally persevered until dinner time, asking Chen Yifei to go out for dinner together. Each and every movement that Chen Yifei made seemed normal as if he had returned to being the perfect assistant. Yan Yu started to feel uneasy seeing Chen Yifei like this and finally understood why CEO Yu did not have the courage to take the first step. There was no way he could have understood such a tormenting feeling without experiencing it first-hand. The two arrived at the car park. Chen Yifei received a call just as he entered the car. Realising that the caller was Jiang Ge, Chen Yifei hesitated for a second but answered the call anyway. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ge’s sounded extremely anxious. Chen Yifei tried to calm him down and listened to him carefully. Jiang Ge’s mother had, apparently, had a stroke and lost consciousness. Her condition was not yet stable. Jiang Ge’s mother was pretty old and his father had passed away a long time ago. Such news made Jiang Ge extremely anxious and it pushed him to his wit’s end. He could only become flustered alone in the hospital. Unsure who else he could rely on, he decided to call Chen Yifei in the end. Chen Yifei hung up and told Yan Yu, “I have an urgent matter to attend to. You should go ahead and eat first. I need to stop by the hospital.” “What’s wrong?” Yan Yu asked, concerned.
“Jiang Ge’s mother had a stroke,” Chen Yifei said. “There’s no one to accompany him, so I’ll go.” Yan Yu could only feel furious, but he had no reason to stop Chen Yifei, so he said, “I’ll go with you?” Chen Yifei was surprised, “What for?” “To accompany you.” Chen Yifei hesitated for a second and then replied, “You probably shouldn’t go. I’m going there to accompany Jiang Ge in the first place.” Yan Yu frowned, “Why can’t I accompany you while you accompany him?” Chen Yifei relented, “...Fine.” The two drove quickly to the hospital. Chen Yifei spotted Jiang Ge sitting in the corridor the moment he stepped inside the in-patient department. Jiang Ge saw Chen Yifei before he could call out to him and quickly walked over to hug him. Witnessing that, Yan Yu, who had been tagging along further behind, could not help but feel upset. He, somewhat, regretted his decision to follow. Jiang Ge sniffled and said apologetically, “Sorry for causing you trouble.” Chen Yifei asked concernedly, “Is auntie doing alright?” Jiang Ge replied, “She just regained consciousness. It shouldn’t be too severe. I’ll take care of her for a while longer. Maybe you should go back first.” Chen Yifei shook his head, “It’s fine.” Chen Yifei stayed to accompany Jiang Ge as he took care of Mother Jiang. Mother Jiang recognised Chen Yifei as well. The atmosphere was harmonious between the three in the room. Yan Yu sat to the side, feeling completely left out. Yan Yu knew that it was merely Chen Yifei’s concern but who could blame Yan Yu’s heart for feeling upset? After half an hour or so, Chen Yifei said to Yan Yu, “It’s late, you should go back first.” Yan Yu looked at Chen Yifei, “How much longer will you stay?” Chen Yifei was uncertain, “It’ll probably take quite a while. I’ll get a taxi later.” Yan Yu felt that there was no point in him insisting on staying anymore. He asked Mother Jiang to take care and left straight after. After Yan Yu left, Jiang Ge asked quietly, “Are you not gonna accompany him?” “You are mistaken. He’s my boss,” Chen Yifei explained. Jiang Ge laughed lightly, “But he likes you. He’ll be upset if you stay with me.” Chen Yifei remained silent for a while before he stated, “He does not belong to this circle. He needs to calm down and think it through.”
