Chapter 17 - Your eyes are... beautiful

The company’s way to the airport was a bit far, but the air ticket was after 11 o’clock, so the time was not too rushed.

On the way to the airport, Zhuang Yanyu turned his head to glance at Wen Chenxi who was sitting next to him from time to time, as if he still couldn’t believe that his good brother was really going on the business trip with him.

He hadn’t heard him talk about it at all this week…

Zhuang Yanyu’s eyes were very bright, he usually didn’t have much expression. Especially when talking to unfamiliar people, he was more expressionless, giving people a very cold and difficult to get along with kind of impression.

However, when he looked at people seriously, his eyes were actually very focused. Unlike when he was expressionless and difficult to approach, when he was focused, he looked like he was looking at a very cherished ‘treasure’, earnestly recording all the detailed data of this ‘treasure’ carefully and etching it to his memory.

Right now, the eyes he looked at Wen Chenxi with from time to time were as such. He might not be aware of it himself, but the person he stared at was somewhat overwhelmed.

Wen Chenxi couldn’t help turning his eyes over, and met Zhuang Yanyu’s gaze: “What are you looking at me for?”

Zhuang Yanyu pursed his lips: “I’m making sure.”

Wen Chenxi was a little helpless: “You don’t need to be sure, I’ll tell you, we will board the plane together and go to City H together, I’m not joking.”

Zhuang Yanyu looked away: “Oh.”

He was not just being sent to the airport.

So he could rest assured.

When Wen Chenxi saw that he answered back very coldly, but had a smile at the corner of his mouth with his dimples even faintly visible, one that he might not have noticed if he didn’t look closely enough, he knew that the fish¹ was really happy.

Wen Chenxi had been working overtime for the past week, just to free up time so that he could go to City H.

This fish was on a business trip for the first time. As a person who obviously didn’t like working overtime because it was very busy, this fish was now on a business trip.

Just thinking of this, he(WCX) decided that it would be better to go with him(ZYY).

Seeing Zhuang Yanyu’s smile at this moment, Wen Chenxi felt that the reward of him only sleeping three or four hours a day this past week was worth it.

Perhaps it was because staying by Zhuang Yanyu’s side was too relaxing, the sequelae of lack of sleep due to overtime work broke out at this moment.

Wen Chenxi took off his glasses and rubbed between his brows, calmed his tired eyes, controlled the urge to close them, stretched out his arms, and pulled Zhuang Yanyu closer.

Wen Chenxi: “Have you had breakfast?”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Yes.”

Wen Chenxi raised his lips: “Yeah, that’s right.”

Zhuang Yanyu was puzzled, what was right?

Wen Chenxi thought of Zhuang Yanyu’s obsessive-compulsive disorder, how could Xiao Yu not eat breakfast? If he didn’t eat, he would probably be in a sleepy state now.

Zhuang Yanyu sat closer, and his breath kept pouring into the tip of his nose.

The smell on Zhuang Yanyu’s body was a very light herbaceous fragrance. He didn’t know if it’s because his father has planted various fruit trees and medicinal materials for a long time. It unconsciously relieved his fatigue.

Wen Chenxi raised his lips and smiled: “It’s nothing, I just remembered that your three meals are very regular.”

Zhuang Yanyu said seriously: “The human body is relatively fragile, regular and healthy meals are an important part of ensuring good health. ”

Wen Chenxi: “En.”

Zhuang Yanyu: “You have to eat well, too.”

Wen Chenxi: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Zhuang Yanyu showed that not-so-obvious dimple again, obviously happy.

The two chatted for through the ride, and finally arrived at the airport.

The assistant went to check in, and Wen Chenxi picked up all the business travelers’ air tickets.

In addition to Zhuang Yanyu and Wen Chenxi, there were five people on this business trip, one of whom was the general manager appointed by Wen Chenxi, an engineer, two assistants, and Director Xu.

Director Xu himself didn’t need to make this trip. It was Wen Chenxi who considered that none of the people on the business trip were familiar with Zhuang Yanyu. In order to make Zhuang Yanyu feel more comfortable outside, Wen Chenxi asked the engineering department to bring Director Xu, who was familiar with Zhuang Yanyu, with them.

After getting out of the car, the assistant went to check-in, and Director Xu and Chen Kang, the general manager, looked for Zhuang Yanyu.

Chen Kang searched around but couldn’t find him, so he asked suspiciously: “Which car did Xiao Zhuang take just now?”

They came in three cars, and Director Xu didn’t share the same car as Chen Kang, so he said strangely: “Didn’t Xiao Zhuang take your car just now?”

Chen Kang said: “No.”

Director Xu: “That’s strange.”

Director Xu was about to pick up his mobile phone to find someone, when the assistant who was on a business trip with Wen Chenxi said, “Zhuang Yanyu and Mr. Wen are already waiting in the lounge, and we can just go there after checking in our luggage.”

Director Xu was shocked: “Did Xiao Zhuang come with Mr. Wen’s car?”

Mr. Wen was so optimistic about Xiao Zhuang?

Chen Kang was also a little surprised, “It seems that Mr. Wen thinks highly of Xiao Zhuang…Mr. Zhuang.”

He was still calling Xiao Zhuang just now, but now he even changed name he called him.

Director Xu thought he was the first to discover Zhuang Yanyu’s talent, and said proudly: “It’s not surprising, think about it, if our project is completed this time, it will be great.”

Chen Kang nodded: “That’s not wrong, this young man is really amazing, and I heard that he is even self-taught! Sure enough, the idiom is correct, the masters are among the people!”

The check-in procedures were quickly completed, and everyone found that their air tickets had been upgraded. There was another burst of excitement in the cabin.

They had to say that traveling with Mr. Wen was so good!

In the end, when they entered the lounge, they didn’t see either Zhuang Yanyu or Wen Chenxi. Because they completed the formalities, it happened to be boarding time, the two of them should have already boarded the plane first.

When they all got on the plane, Director Xu finally saw Zhuang Yanyu.

Zhuang Yanyu and Wen Chenxi sat in the front seat, and the seat behind them was empty. The two of them sat there, feeling isolated from the world.

Director Xu and Chen Kang both wanted to come over to say hello, but were stopped by the assistant brought by Wen Chenxi.

The assistant said in a low voice: “Mr. Wen and Mr. Zhuang are talking about something. Let us all take care of ourselves. It’s better not to bother.”

Director Xu thought about it again. He if he wanted to talk to Xiao Zhuang, he also had to face Mr. Wen. He felt a lot of pressure in an instant and decided to forget about it.

Chen Kang also thought so. Hearing what the assistant said, the two immediately nodded and went to find their own seats.

Before sitting down, he looked up inadvertently, and saw Wen Chenxi and Zhuang Yanyu talking. Director Xu didn’t know if it was his illusion. Why did he feel that those two people seemed to be very familiar with each other, that they didn’t look like they had just met and they didn’t look like they were talking about work, but seemed to be chatting?

Director Xu patted his head, thinking it was funny. He had read Xiao Zhuang’s resume, how could a kid from the countryside know Mr. Wen, he really thought too much.

Besides, besides work, what else could he talk to Mr. Wen about?

He didn’t know that the two people sitting at the front had already chatted from three meals a day to hobbies, and from hobbies to life ideals.

Wen Chenxi: “No other wishes?”

Zhuang Yanyu: “No, I am very satisfied with my current life.”

He had a job, a healthy body, and a good brother. Retirement life was so relaxed and comfortable. One didn’t have to think about calculating how many points the host could get for completing a task. It’s really easy and comfortable.

Wen Chenxi: “It’s really easy to raise.”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Huh?”

Wen Chen laughed.

Probably as long as he gave this fish a basin of water, he would be satisfied, right?

What was this if not easy to raise?

Zhuang Yanyu: “Then do you have a wish?”

Wen Chenxi: “Me?”

Zhuang Yanyu stared at Wen Chenxi with burning eyes, and the notepad in his brain already prepared, intending to record his good brother’s wish and then try his best to help his good brother fulfilled his wish together.

Wen Chenxi: “In the past, no.”

Zhuang Yanyu analyzed the meaning of his words and asked, “How about now?”

Wen Chenxi glanced at him.

The young boy started looking at him with that focused look again.

If it wasn’t for sure that Zhuang Yanyu was not interested in him…

Wen Chenxi raised his lips, and suddenly stretched out his hand to cover Zhuang Yanyu’s eyes.

Zhuang Yanyu blinked, brushing his long eyelashes on Wen Chenxi’s warm palm, and asked in puzzlement, “Why are you covering my eyes?”

Wen Chenxi said in a low voice, “Your eyes… beautiful.”

Zhuang Yanyu blinked again, and praised back without hesitation: “Oh, yours are also beautiful.”

Wen Chenxi said with a smile in his eyes: “Really?”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Yes. Scientific data shows that it is recognized as one of the best in the world. There are five types of eyes, and your eyes happen to be one of them, and its shape… ”

The covering of the boy’s eyes had not been affected his ability to analyze data at all.

So Wen Chenxi listened to Zhuang Yanyu carefully and enthusiastically analyze the eye shape report with almost 1,000 words, and finally conclude that his eye shape was the best.

It made Wen Chenxi feel a little helpless but amused.

The plane flew for two and a half hours before landing. They made an appointment with Hai Cheng Group to discuss the project tomorrow. After arriving at the hotel in the afternoon, they rested and made some preparations for the meeting tomorrow.

The one with the most leisure time was Zhuang Yanyu. He was only in charge of the program system, and Chen Kang and the others would take care of the cooperation.

H City BaN² was a tourist city, so Zhuang Yanyu, since he had nothing to do, went to visit the tourist attractions with Wen Chenxi.

Hence, the goal of traveling with his good brother was achieved indirectly.

After shopping all afternoon and having dinner, they returned to the hotel. It was almost 11 o’clock after washing.

Wen Chenxi remembered Zhuang Yanyu’s obsessive-compulsive disorder, knowing that he had to go to bed after 10 o’clock, and planned to sleep quietly as soon as the lights were turned off, so as not to disturb the fish.

In the past week, Wen Chenxi only slept for an hour or two a day in order to work overtime to compress his time. Now when he thought of Zhuang Yanyu sleeping next to him, he felt inexplicably relaxed. As soon as he lay down, he felt drowsy.

Just as he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he suddenly felt something strange and woke up suddenly.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a person standing beside his bed.

Wen Chenxi: “…”

Wen Chenxi: “…Xiao Yu?”

Wen Chenxi turned on the bedside lamp.

Zhuang Yanyu looked at him with piercing eyes: “Ah Xi, are you sleepy?”

Wen Chenxi glanced at the other’s thin pajamas, and at the slender bare wrist, and his Adam’s apple rolled.

He became awake in an instant.

The author has something to say:

¹- Word play, i realised the author was writing with ‘fish’ now, so to retain the meaning from the original, I will use ‘fish’ from now on(probably).

²- It was originally in english in the raws.
