ACBNHTS Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Can’t Sleep Without Holding My Wife

Yin Xue (Yin Xue) desperately suppressed the rising anger and embarrassment, clutching the insulated container and left.

Pei Du looked towards the front desk, his gaze light and indifferent, yet his aura was imposing.

The front desk staff’s expression tightened, feeling flustered and confused, not daring to meet Pei Du’s eyes.

Pei Du chuckled, the sound cold, his voice also cold.

“Are you here to work as a front desk, or are you here to chat?”

The front desk didn’t dare to make a sound.

Pei Du: “You’re fired.”

The front desk’s face paled, “General Manager Pei, I won’t dare again, I won’t dare again.”

Pei Du ignored her and walked straight past. He went upstairs, heading directly for Sheng Yiguang’s office, but didn’t see him. After a while, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

Pei Du turned around and saw him return.

“I heard you came.”

“Where did you go?”

“The cafeteria.”

Pei Du smiled slightly, “Did I come at a bad time? Have you eaten?”

Sheng Yiguang shook his head.

Hearing that he had come, he abandoned the queue and rushed to the front desk, only to see the front desk staff packing up her things to leave. Not seeing him, he rushed back again.

“Have you eaten?”

“Not yet.”

“Shall we go out to eat?”

“Let’s not bother, it’s troublesome to go back and forth. Is the cafeteria menu available?”

There wasn’t one, but Sheng Yiguang had been there and scanned it, remembered it, and recited it to Pei Du. Pei Du ordered a few dishes, and Sheng Yiguang instructed someone to bring them over.

Before the food arrived, Sun Mo’s WeChat message arrived first.

[Pei Du came?]

Sheng Yiguang: [Yes]

Sun Mo: [Several of our company’s general managers heard that he came and looked around but couldn’t find him, they guessed he was at your place]

Sun Mo: [Let me ask, is it convenient for them to go over and say hello?]

If they came to say hello, it wouldn’t be a matter of just a few words. Plus, Pei Du is currently rumored to have mental illness, and those people probably want to test him out.

Sheng Yiguang didn’t want them to come.

Sheng Yiguang: [Not convenient]

Sun Mo sent a thumbs-up.

Sun Mo: [Delivered the message verbatim]

Sun Mo: [Oh, also, tell your boyfriend to come less often. Smiling face.jpg]

Sheng Yiguang: [?]

Sun Mo: [You’ll understand when you see the food later]

Soon, the food arrived.

General Manager Xie sent it over, very tactfully not entering the door, but handing the two portions of food to Sheng Yiguang at the door. Sheng Yiguang opened it and saw that the meat portion was very generous, and the shrimp were all large and plump.

Sheng Yiguang suspected that they had been individually selected.

Pei Du acted as if he didn’t notice, or even if he did, he didn’t think it was strange. Over the years, countless people had tried to curry favor with him.

“I’ve chased your mother away, she probably won’t dare to make trouble again. Focus on your work and don’t worry about her.”

Pei Du didn’t rush to pick up his chopsticks, peeled the shrimp, and put them all in Sheng Yiguang’s bowl.

“Okay, I understand.” Sheng Yiguang looked at the mountain of shrimp in his bowl, not wanting to eat them all himself, so he said, “I can’t eat that much.”

“Eat mine if you can’t finish.”

Sheng Yiguang gave him four or five.

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, Pei Du reached over with his chopsticks and took away the carrots from his portion of braised beef.

Sheng Yiguang instantly remembered his high school days.

The local area was very suitable for growing carrots, with high yields, and every household grew them. Carrots were also a common side dish in other dishes, so it was inevitable that they would be slightly contaminated.

Although Sheng Yiguang didn’t like them, it wasn’t as if he couldn’t eat them. His grandparents would also make them, and he had no room to be picky, so he never mentioned it to anyone, and he would eat them when he encountered them.

But Pei Du could see it.

Once, while eating in the cafeteria, he suddenly stretched out his bowl.

“Give it to me if you don’t like to eat it.”

Everyone at the table was stunned.

Sheng Yiguang was also stunned.

“Brother Pei, what are you talking about? I’ve never seen him be picky.”

Pei Du ignored him, still holding the bowl, urging him, “Hurry up.”

“No need.”

“We’re all brothers, you don’t need to be embarrassed.”

Sheng Yiguang had already forgotten how he felt at that moment, anyway, he gave all the carrots in his bowl to Pei Du.

The students next to him were extremely surprised.

“Brother Pei, how did you figure it out?”

He also wanted to know the answer to this question, and perked up his ears to listen.

Pei Du smiled, raised his eyebrows, a little proud, “Is that difficult?”

After a long time, he still didn’t say.

Now that Sheng Yiguang thought about it, he couldn’t help but ask, “I’ve never asked you, how did you know I didn’t like to eat carrots?”

Pei Du smiled, “You always leave them to eat last, you’d be a ghost if you liked them.”

Sheng Yiguang’s heart warmed, and he took the initiative, somewhat in return, saying, “I also know what you like to eat.”

Pei Du chuckled softly, his deeply etched eyes curving gently.

“Don’t tease me, okay?”

Sheng Yiguang nodded.

Sheng Yiguang, who usually ate very quickly in order to rush to work, spent more than half an hour leisurely eating with Pei Du today.

After finishing eating, he couldn’t bear to let Pei Du leave like this, and asked him.

“Do you take a lunch break? Do you want to stay here with me? It’s just that the bed is a bit small, and I’ll take you to the company when you wake up.”

A manager of Sheng Yiguang’s level didn’t have a separate rest room. Sheng Yiguang had a folding bed in his office, in case of emergencies.

Pei Du noticed it, and smiled, “It looks very new, haven’t you used it?”

“No.”

Pei Du opened the bed and sat on it to try it out, “Not bad, but…” His tone was casual, his gaze falling on Sheng Yiguang, “I have a problem when I sleep.”

Sheng Yiguang: ?

Does he?

He’s slept with him, how come he doesn’t know?

“I can’t sleep without holding my wife.”

Sheng Yiguang’s face flushed.

This is the office.

Pei Du tilted his head, looking at him with a smile, “Sleep with me?”

Sheng Yiguang struggled inwardly for a moment, turned around and locked the office door, and also lowered the blackout curtains.

The room was dim.

Pei Du pulled him in front of him, saying he wanted to take a lunch break, but first kissed him enough.

The two of them breathed hotly, Sheng Yiguang almost sinking into his arms, feeling his shirt being pulled out from his waistband, and he shivered in fright.

Pei Du immediately kissed him gently, “Don’t be afraid, I’m just serving you, aren’t you uncomfortable like this? Don’t move, the bed is small, I’m going to fall off.”

Sheng Yiguang’s face was frighteningly red, only stiffening for a moment, before his body softened again…

In the end, he hugged Pei Du’s shoulders tightly, and said tremblingly that he wanted to help him too.

After all the commotion, he only slept for ten minutes during his lunch break, before the alarm clock rang.

Pei Du got up, opened the curtains, and opened the window to ventilate the room.

After everything was tidied up, Pei Du unlocked the door, picked up the tie on the side and helped Sheng Yiguang tie it, teasing him as he did so.

“Did General Manager Sheng have a good nap?”

Sheng Yiguang’s Adam’s apple moved, and he nodded.

Pei Du smiled, “Will I serve you like this for your nap from now on?”

“No, it’s a bit of a waste of work time.”

Hearing this, Pei Du chuckled softly for a while.

“Knock knock knock”

Someone knocked on the door.

“General Manager Sheng, General Manager Lu of ShunGuang Technology is here.”

It was already working hours, and the subordinate was about to push the door open as he spoke.

Sheng Yiguang’s heart tightened, “Wait a minute!”

The subordinate was startled and quickly let go.

Pei Du’s smiling voice came out from the crack in the door, “What are you feeling guilty about?”

Lu Zhengyang was stunned outside the door.
