MAPF Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Hidden Joy – Is It Really Unattractive?

He Qin was swayed by Xie Shiwei’s sudden embrace, but quickly regained his balance, confirming something amidst his increasingly rapid heartbeat.

He should have admitted it sooner.

He did indeed like Xie Shiwei, and he (wúbǐ – incomparably, extremely) enjoyed Xie Shiwei’s dependence on him.

He didn’t care who this Xie Shiwei was before, where he came from, or what his purpose might be.

He just wanted to hold him, hear him say who he was, talk about his perhaps fragmented childhood, talk about the magnolia trees in front of his house.

Just like Xie Shiwei had softly recounted to Xiao Yue that night.

But after so many attempts to test him, Xie Shiwei never opened up, because Xie Shiwei hadn’t developed the same feelings for him.

.

Xie Shiwei cried enough and felt quite embarrassed.

To have He Qin witness such a disheveled and weak moment of his, and to have clung to He Qin’s clothes and cried for so long, it was just ridiculous.

He lowered his head to hide his blushing face, climbed out of He Qin’s embrace, and quietly said thank you.

He Qin really wanted to wipe away his tears, but it was too abrupt, so he just took out a wet wipe for him: “Wipe your face.”

“Oh.” Xie Shiwei wiped away his tears, his nose was very red, “What do we do now?”

“Did he actually touch you? Did he cause you any real harm?”

“…No, I was blocking and dodging.”

He Qin’s eyes turned cold again: “He’s from your company. Go back and fire him personally. As for whether to punish him, it’s up to you.”

Xie Shiwei thought with his head lowered, feeling that Qiao Mu was so bold probably because of the good feelings he unintentionally expressed, regretting clutching his hair: “Forget it, just make sure he never appears in front of me again.”

“Okay.”

“Just tell Qiao Mu about this, don’t let Amy and Qiu Chen know, it’s quite embarrassing.”

“Okay.” He Qin asked Xie Shiwei for his phone and set himself as the emergency contact. “Call me next time you encounter something like this.”

Xie Shiwei’s heart warmed: “Okay.”

.

The three upstairs sang dozens of songs and collapsed, holding juice and drinking wildly.

Qiao Mu suddenly received a WeChat message from Qiao Lin saying that he had something to do and had to go home temporarily. He beckoned Amy and Qiu Chen to go downstairs to see what was going on and saw He Qin standing next to Xie Shiwei at a glance.

“President He is here, hello,” Qiao Mu nodded, “Why did Qiao Lin leave? Did you run into him?”

Xie Shiwei casually made up a reason, saying that it was getting late, everyone should sleep, and continue playing tomorrow. He sent a WeChat message to Qiao Mu with the truth.

Qiao Mu lost face in the president’s house, his face instantly turned red, black, and green, so angry that he wanted to beat his perverted and lecherous younger brother immediately.

“Then how do we sleep? There are four bedrooms here,” Amy said particularly perceptively, “Why don’t we three employees enjoy it today, one room each, Shiwei, you and President He, you two boss-couple take one room?”

Qiu Chen expressed his agreement.

Qiao Mu was still angry, suddenly slammed the table and said no problem, confusing the two girls.

“Okay.” Xie Shiwei agreed, and He Qin had no objection.

Their relationship should seem very close to outsiders, there was no way to insist on two rooms.

.

Xie Shiwei took a shower at night and changed into the pajamas he brought.

The weather was getting warmer, and the pajamas were changed to the thinnest cotton silk material.

When he returned to the room, He Qin was already lying on the right side of the bed. Their pajamas were in the same color scheme, really like a couple’s style.

The bed in front of him was much smaller than the big bed at home, only one and a half meters, it was quite difficult for two adult men to lie down on it.

Xie Shiwei sighed, took a pillow and stuffed it vertically between the two, saying that he rolled around when he slept, so this could block it a bit.

As a result, in the middle of the night.

He Qin tensed up his spirits, trying his best to endure Xie Shiwei’s unconscious rubbing and hugging, almost every fifteen minutes he had to take him off his body, but this person persevered in rolling over, his pointed chin and soft cheeks pressed against his shoulder, and his beautiful hands were still mischievously touching his abdominal muscles.

He Qin gave up resisting, borrowing the moonlight to see Xie Shiwei’s face so close, and understood why Qiao Lin would be so daring.

For insurance, he put the pillow that Xie Shiwei kicked away next to his legs.

His heart was disturbed by desire, but also secretly happy, and he didn’t close his eyes much all night.

It wasn’t until dawn, when a few rays of sunlight leaked through the curtain cracks, that Xie Shiwei settled down, turned over and curled up on the edge of the bed with his back to him, and took the quilt away with him.

He Qin finally closed his eyes at this point.

.

Xie Shiwei was plied with alcohol by everyone last night and slept until noon. After waking up, his head was dizzy. Looking at the empty bed, he remembered the accident that happened last night, and Qiao Lin’s face appeared in front of him again.

He no longer thought Qiao Lin was handsome, enduring the nausea, he opened WeChat and wanted to blacklist Qiao Lin, and saw a message sent by the other party at two o’clock in the morning.

[I’m sorry, I’ll resign on Monday. But you don’t seem innocent either.]

Xie Shiwei immediately got angry and immediately made a voice call to Qiao Lin.

The call connected.

Xie Shiwei said angrily: “Qiao Lin, listen up, I am not innocent, my mistake was being deceived by your appearance and having good feelings for you without knowing your character. But last night was completely your problem, I was drunk, I smiled at you and said a few nice words and you couldn’t control yourself, trying to force yourself on me when I had already expressed resistance, what’s the difference between you and an animal? If it’s really not good, just dig out your eyes, don’t reverse right and wrong.”

Qiao Lin seemed to have something to say, but Xie Shiwei hung up decisively.

Turning back, He Qin was standing by the bed with a glass of milk, with a bit of a smile in his eyes: “Sharp-tongued Little President Xie, wash up and drink milk.”

“Thank you.”

After drinking the milk, Qiao Mu came over to apologize to Xie Shiwei, guaranteeing to send Qiao Lin to their hometown city to work and reflect properly.

Xie Shiwei nodded and followed Qiao Mu out.

It was mealtime again, Amy and Qiu Chen were fiddling with lunch in the kitchen, saying they wanted to cook home-style dishes.

They went to play beach volleyball in the morning, Xie Shiwei didn’t participate, and immediately joined in at this moment, washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, starting the pot, heating oil, and stir-frying dishes in one go. Amy and Qiu Chen’s work was all snatched away, and they were stunned in place, and finally could only hand Xie Shiwei the spatula.

Qiao Mu was also stunned, and quietly asked He Qin: “Does Little President Xie usually cook at home?”

He Qin remembered the dinner Xie Shiwei had made for him a long time ago, smiled, and deliberately exaggerated: “Not often, but he will cook for me.”

Qiao Mu’s eyes were suddenly full of pink bubbles: “President He is so lucky, this dish smells so good.”

.

In the afternoon, not long before returning, Amy said that she still wanted to hear Little President Xie sing.

Xie Shiwei’s heart skipped a beat, and he refused: “I don’t sing well.”

Qiu Chen was puzzled: “Shiwei, you’re too modest, right? You sang so well yesterday.”

He Qin leisurely rolled up his shirt sleeves: “I want to hear it too.”

Xie Shiwei was taken to the song selection stand by Amy and Qiu Chen. Helpless, he imitated the original host and deliberately sang off-key, so unpleasant that it scared away three seagulls resting on the windowsill.

The three people who had heard Xie Shiwei sing yesterday were shocked, and they asked President He how Xie Shiwei’s singing could be good and bad at the same time.

He Qin asked: “How good did he sing yesterday?”

Amy covered her ears: “The level where the live venue could be filled with people, I don’t know why it’s turned into this ghostly look now.”

He Qin smiled noncommittally: “He’s nervous when he sees me.”

Xie Shiwei was very guilty, so he simply changed the song and didn’t sing anymore.

.

Mid-June, summer came.

Xie Tian’an took the time to read Xie Shiwei’s work summary in the Social Responsibility Department. After reviewing the plans he had written, he was very satisfied, and immediately transferred Xie Shiwei to the Sales Department, letting Chen Ning personally lead him to study.

Xie Shiwei received the news temporarily, and in a hurry, he handed over his work, bid farewell to the partners in Group Three, and specially called the driver to send three pots of rose dew, which he personally gave to everyone. Qiu Chen and Qiao Mu embraced Xie Shiwei, Amy said with red eyes that Little President Xie should make a dinner appointment when he has time in the future, Xie Shiwei smiled and said no problem, and waved goodbye.

He followed Secretary Huang to the Sales Department and met Chen Ning in the new office.

Chen Ning was wearing an expensive but low-key dress, her smooth hair was diagonally coiled behind her head, and she was watering the orchids on the table.

“Shiwei, you’re here.” Chen Ning saw him, smiled gently, and asked Secretary Huang to move a box of documents to Xie Shiwei, “These first half are the basic information of the department, introducing the department’s division of labor, personnel, work tasks, and distributors in various places, and the second half is sales professional knowledge and jargon.”

“It looks like a lot, but it’s not difficult. With Shiwei’s current work enthusiasm, you should be able to finish reading it within three days, right? After reading it, come to me to report your experience.”

Xie Shiwei stared at the full box of folders and realized the long-lost sense of exploitation.

He used to be used as a beast of burden by his boss like this.

Chen Ning deliberately gave Xie Shiwei a hard time, wanting him to give up in the face of difficulties, but she didn’t expect this kid to really agree, and smiled and said thank you to her.

After Xie Shiwei complimented Chen Ning, he immediately took out the documents and started reading, opening the computer to take notes.

The smile on Chen Ning’s face disappeared, and she walked away in high heels.

Secretary Huang was still there, reporting the situation to Xie Tian’an.

Xie Tian’an took a sip of tea, feeling that this family might not be peaceful in the future.

.

Xie Shiwei didn’t relax when he went home at night, relentlessly making up for his lack of knowledge in the Sales Department, vowing to create a miracle within three days and make Chen Ning’s calculations fail.

He Qin came back at eleven o’clock, Xie Shiwei was sleeping on the table, his head pillowed on the page with professional terms, and the computer document contained the knowledge points he had extracted.

He patted Xie Shiwei’s back, but the person didn’t respond, so he had to put one hand around Xie Shiwei’s waist and the other hand to scoop up his legs, holding the person horizontally to bed and covering him with a thin quilt. He suddenly heard him mutter in his sleep, and leaned closer to distinguish it carefully, and what he said seemed to be:

Chen Ning, I definitely won’t let you succeed.

He also gritted his teeth.

He Qin smiled and helped Xie Shiwei organize the scattered text into a mind map, and went to bed on time at twelve o’clock.

Xie Shiwei got up at six thirty in the morning, which happened to coincide with He Qin’s wake-up time.

The washstand in the bathroom was very large. When he went, He Qin was washing his face with his head down. He was probably preparing to go for a morning run, wearing a headband, a sleeveless sports shirt, and sports pants, his waist and back were bent forward, and the muscles in his arms bulged with the movement.

Again, that damned but delicious taste of hormones.

He Qin rinsed the foam off his face, said good morning, and took a towel to wipe his face.

He found that Xie Shiwei was staring at him in the mirror, then unconsciously licked his lips and swallowed.

He Qin suddenly doubted Xie Shiwei’s claim of zero percent.

Is he really unattractive to Xie Shiwei?
