EOTWR Chapter 1

“Sister, I’ve already arrived at the Company… No need, really no need… I don’t want to go on a blind date yet, I’m hanging up now, I’m going to be late.” Ai Wei hung up the phone, silently breathing a sigh of relief. His older sister, Ai Yi, had been enthusiastically trying to find him a partner ever since he graduated. But for some reason, he really didn’t want to go on a blind date.

Thinking about his relatives who had been urging marriage more and more intensely over the past two years, Ai Wei couldn’t help but feel a headache.

He also felt a faint sense of nausea. He felt a little unwell, but didn’t pay too much attention. He entered the Company floor, punched his Card, and then went to his position.

As soon as he sat down, Xiao Wang from across the way came over, looking gossipy, and said, “Hey, did you hear? Our Manager didn’t come today. It seems like he went to the Hospital.”

“My aunt also left the Hospital. Yesterday, she suddenly had a stomach ache and vomited a lot of sour water…”

Before Ai Wei could speak, Xiao Li, who was eating Snack next door, came over and continued Xiao Wang’s words.

“What are you eating? Let me try some.” Seeing the bag of Snack in his hand, Xiao Wang quickly grabbed a handful of Potato Chips from it.

“Hey, hey, are you robbing me! Buy your own if you want to eat!” Xiao Li quickly covered his Snack Bag, glaring at Xiao Wang as if facing a formidable enemy.

“Shh, keep it down, the Deputy Manager is looking over here.” Seeing the Deputy Manager looking over, Ai Wei quickly reminded them.

Xiao Wang and Xiao Li returned to their positions as quickly as possible, pretending to be working hard.

Seeing that they were not doing anything unusual, the Deputy Manager withdrew his gaze and went back to his own business.

Seeing that the Deputy Manager was no longer watching them, Xiao Li lowered his voice again and said, “Do you think there are a lot of sick people these days? It feels kind of scary.”

“Yeah, yeah… Could it be some kind of Infectious Disease? If it really is an Infectious Disease, there are so many people in the Company, will we get infected?” Xiao Wang said.

“Don’t scare me…” The two quickly started chatting about this topic.

Ai Wei was feeling unwell, a little dizzy and nauseous. Hearing their words, he suddenly felt that his symptoms were similar to those of the Manager and Xiao Li’s aunt.

Could it really be some New Type of Infectious Disease? Ai Wei couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive.

But although he was dizzy, he didn’t have a fever or vomiting, so he shouldn’t be that unlucky, right?

“Ai Wei, why are you so quiet today? You haven’t said a word from just now until now.” Xiao Wang noticed his abnormality today, looked at him, and asked.

“I stayed up late last night, so I’m a little out of it now,” Ai Wei said.

Yes, he must be feeling dizzy and weak because he stayed up late last night.

However, he should search for the symptoms of the New Type of Infectious Disease later, just in case he really gets infected, he thought.

“I’m going to the Washroom.” After he finished speaking, he left his position and went to the Toilet.

Entering the Toilet stall, he sat on the Toilet, took out his Mobile Phone, and searched for New Type of Infectious Disease.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn’t have a stomach ache, vomit sour water, or feel stiff and cold all over like the internet said.

After breathing a sigh of relief, he gradually felt a little drowsy. Just as he was dozing off, he suddenly heard some disharmonious sounds.

“Darling, you’re so cold in the Company, you don’t even pay attention to me, I’m so sad… Never mind, give me a quick kiss to comfort me…”

A gay-sounding male voice rang out, followed by the sound of some kind of fabric rubbing together, as if two people were hugging each other.

Ai Wei looked at the sky speechlessly, a tear rolling down the corner of his eye.

Having lived for 26 years and still having his first kiss, this was the first time he had stumbled upon someone making out in the Toilet. It felt really stimulating.

Huh? Wait, didn’t the voices sound like two guys?

Just as Ai Wei was about to see if it was really two guys, another magnetic male voice rang out: “This is a public place. If someone comes in and sees us…”

Hearing this voice, the first thought that popped into Ai Wei’s mind was, ‘It really is a man.’ The second thought was, ‘Damn, why does this voice sound so familiar?’

“No, no, you’re such a blockhead. What if someone sees us? Am I that embarrassing?!” the gay-sounding male voice said coquettishly.

“No, it’s just that this isn’t a good place…” the other person said. Listening to this voice, Ai Wei finally remembered who it was.

Xia Junchi, Planning Department Manager, 28 years old, 1.87 meters tall, 160 pounds. Handsome appearance, and to emphasize, he was Ai Wei’s secret crush.

That’s right, the person Ai Wei had a crush on was a man.

He was Bisexual. He had liked the girl at the same table in high school and would also have sex fantasies about women’s bodies. But since the time the Company organized employees to go to a Hot Spring, after seeing Xia Junchi wearing Swim Trunks, he discovered that he also had feelings for men.

Since then, he couldn’t help but want to glance at Xia Junchi. Every move and smile of Xia Junchi was so beautiful in his eyes. His deep, magnetic voice was like a knock on his heartstrings, making him feel excited.

He was fascinated by Xia Junchi. Even more frightening was that when he looked at other handsome men’s photos online, he found that he also had feelings for those handsome men’s bodies.

Having lived for more than 20 years, he realized that he was actually gay!

No, not just gay, he also liked women. His female classmate that he had a crush on in high school was an example. And he also had a few Little Yellow Films stored in his Mobile Phone, proving that he was also interested in women’s bodies.

So he came to the conclusion that he was Bisexual.

Since he was Bisexual, there was no need to come out. When he ended his infatuation with Xia Junchi, he would find a girl he liked and live an ordinary life.

But before his infatuation with Xia Junchi disappeared, he really had no interest in Blind Date at all.

He continued to pay attention to every move of Xia Junchi. The longer he paid attention, the more he liked this person.

Xia Junchi was very organized in his dealings with people and things. As the Planning Department Manager, he managed a department of people, but he didn’t like to lose his temper with his subordinates like the managers of other departments. But he was very convincing and could always deliver satisfactory answers to the Company. He was a serious, capable, motivated, and highly self-disciplined person.

You rarely saw a negative side to him. Seeing him every day gave Ai Wei energy for the day.

However, although he liked Xia Junchi very much, he didn’t plan to pursue him. First of all, the road of homosexuality was always more difficult than the road of heterosexuality. Whether it was him or Xia Junchi, there would be many difficulties in taking the road of homosexuality. He couldn’t just turn Xia Junchi gay because he liked him and make Xia Junchi also take a difficult road.

Although society was much more tolerant of homosexuality than before, there were still many problems to face.

He felt that it was best to hide this feeling in his heart. When Xia Junchi found a girlfriend in the future, he should also find a girl he liked to marry and have children. This would be good for him and would not embarrass Xia Junchi.

But what had he just heard? Xia Junchi was being kissed by a man? And judging from the meaning of their words, they should still be in a relationship.

So, Xia Junchi also liked men? Ai Wei suddenly felt even dizzier. Damn it, Xia Junchi actually liked men. He could only hide this relationship silently and never see the light of day, but in the end, Xia Junchi actually liked men!!!

Why hadn’t he realized that Xia Junchi was interested in men before! Now that someone else had taken the lead, he really wanted to spit out a mouthful of old blood!

It was also because he had always thought that he was Bisexual and had chosen to take the path of heterosexuality. Therefore, he had not spent any effort to understand the homosexual community. He thought that homosexuals were all like Ye Cong, who liked to dress up and act coquettishly. He didn’t expect that there were men in the homosexual community who looked no different from heterosexual men like Xia Junchi! At this moment, Ai Wei felt that his worldview was about to shatter. He felt that he was simply too miserable.

The two people outside were still continuing. The affected male voice was relentless and insisted on pulling Xia Junchi to make out in the Toilet: “It’s already past get off work time, everyone has gone home, no one will come in. I’ve always wanted to try doing it in the Company’s Toilet, it must be very exciting…” “No, this is too…”

“Don’t you love me anymore? You won’t even agree to this little request of mine…”

Hearing this, Ai Wei finally couldn’t sit still anymore. It was one thing to hear that the person he had a crush on was with someone else, but now he had to listen to them flirting. This was simply unbearable! Uncle can endure, aunt can’t endure!

He opened the door of the Toilet stall and walked out under the astonished gazes of the two people outside. He gave them a slightly embarrassed smile and said, “Sorry to bother you, I’ll go out now, you guys continue.” After speaking, his eyes quickly swept across their astonished faces and recognized that the affected person seemed to be a newcomer in the publicity department named Ye Cong.

Ye Cong had not been in the Company for long, but because he had a fair and delicate face that could be described as a doll, he was quickly recognized by many people in the Company. Ai Wei had even heard two female colleagues discussing Ye Cong, saying that he was gay and must be a soft and cute bottom.

He also felt that Ye Cong was a bottom. At first, he had paid attention to Ye Cong, after all, Ye Cong looked very beautiful. But Ye Cong was not the type he liked at all. He only paid attention to Ye Cong a few times and quickly lost interest in Ye Cong. He didn’t expect that Ye Cong would be with Xia Junchi.

When did these two get together? Why hadn’t he noticed it at all before?!

Ai Wei was a little confused. In the Company, the person he paid the most attention to was Xia Junchi. Every time he was in contact with Xia Junchi, most of his attention was on Xia Junchi. He usually paid close attention to Xia Junchi’s news. But he had not noticed at all that Xia Junchi was in a relationship!!

Were they hiding it too well? Or was he too blind?! Ai Wei thought about it carefully and felt that they must be hiding it too well. Because he had never seen them together in the Company, nor had he heard any rumors about them. How secretive did they have to be!

Although the office didn’t allow dating, they were too careful, right?

Closing the Toilet door, Ai Wei couldn’t help but feel depressed.

Damn it, what kind of mess was this?

Also, these two were really something. Didn’t they know that the Toilet was a public place? It was during work hours, and they were fooling around in the Toilet. Weren’t they afraid of being seen by someone who suddenly came in to use the Toilet?

Ai Wei shook his head heartbrokenly, sighing at how open-minded some modern people were. Then he went back to his work position. However, when he returned to the office area, he found that the office area door was locked.

Looking inside through the glass window on the door, he saw that the office was clean and tidy, and there was no one there.

What was going on? How could the office be empty after he had only gone to the Toilet? Could it be that something happened in the Company, and everyone was temporarily called away?

Ai Wei was extremely puzzled. He took out his Mobile Phone from his pocket and wanted to call Xiao Wang to ask what was going on. However, when he turned on his Mobile Phone, he suddenly jumped in his heart.

He saw that the Mobile Phone screen showed that it was now 18:31, which meant that it was already more than an hour after get off work.

What was going on?

He had clearly just come to work. He had specially looked at his watch. He had punched in at 8:55. How could more than nine hours have passed after he had only gone to the Toilet?

Ai Wei rubbed his eyes and looked at the time again carefully. That’s right, it was still 18:31.

Did he transmigrate?

No, he had been drowsy just now and seemed to have taken a nap. Could it be that he had just slept in the Toilet for more than nine hours?

Oh my god, how dead could he have been… The Mobile Phone showed that there were more than twenty missed calls. Ai Wei clicked on it and saw that the top five were from the Deputy Manager, the other two were from Xiao Li, two were from Xiao Wang, and the remaining dozen were all from Ai Yi.

Ai Wei immediately felt his scalp tingle and immediately clicked on the Deputy Manager’s Mobile Phone number to call the Deputy Manager back. A pleasant Mobile Phone ringtone rang from the Mobile Phone. After a long time, a formulaic female voice said, “I’m sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off, please call back later…” Ai Wei made several more calls to the Deputy Manager, but still no one answered.

He suddenly thought of WeChat, so he quickly opened WeChat and clicked on the work group.

Sure enough, the Manager had sent him a few WeChat messages in the work group. “Zombie” appeared. Where did you go during work hours?

Why didn’t you answer the phone? Answer the phone quickly!

Do you still want your full attendance and bonus this month? Okay, you’re awesome.

Ai Wei’s face was full of black lines as he read. He quickly replied to the Deputy Manager with two WeChat messages, explaining where he had gone just now. He also called the Deputy Manager, wanting to explain, but this time, the Deputy Manager’s phone still went unanswered. No one replied to the WeChat message either. Ai Wei couldn’t help but want to cry.

The Deputy Manager’s Mobile Phone was turned on 24 hours a day. As long as it wasn’t busy, someone would answer the phone whenever you called. Now the Deputy Manager had been refusing to answer his calls, obviously not wanting to answer at all.

It seemed that he would inevitably be scolded tomorrow. Thinking of the Deputy Manager’s incessant mouth, Ai Wei suddenly felt weak all over.

However, how could he have slept for so long in the Toilet? He hadn’t stayed up late last night either! Why was he so sleepy?

It was really strange, Ai Wei couldn’t help but sigh. He had no choice but to go home first and apologize to the Deputy Manager tomorrow.

However, after sleeping for so long, his body had become much lighter. The dizziness and nausea from the morning were gone, and he felt much more relaxed than usual.

Ai Wei was worried in the morning that he had contracted that Infectious Disease, but now that his body was better, he was naturally very happy. Just then, Xia Junchi and Ye Cong chased out of the Toilet. “Wait.” Xia Junchi called out to him. Xia Junchi’s voice was very magnetic, very nice, and very charming, making people’s ears pregnant.

If it were normal, Ai Wei would be very happy if Xia Junchi took the initiative to talk to him. But now, seeing Ye Cong next to him, Ai Wei’s mood was a little complicated.

If he was right, Xia Junchi was calling him to ask him not to tell anyone that he and Ye Cong were a homosexual couple.

Although that Ye Cong said it would be better if they were seen, the Company stipulated that office romances were not allowed, so they wouldn’t really violate the Company’s regulations.

Ai Wei really felt heartbroken to be asked such a thing by the person he had a crush on.

“Is there anything I can do for you?” he asked. Xia Junchi walked up to him, his tall body being half a head taller than Ai Wei, who was not short. He was wearing a Dark Brown Suit with a White Shirt and Dress Pants. This outfit fit him very well, perfectly setting off his tall and muscular figure, making him look very good.

His hair was not too long or too short, and he used Hair Gel to comb it into a Three-Seven split, making him look very elite.

His face was very handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose and thin lips, which was completely Ai Wei’s ideal type. Just looking at him made Ai Wei feel excited.

“I hope you won’t talk about what happened today,” Xia Junchi looked at him and asked.

Ai Wei nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t talk about it.”

“Can you guarantee that? I’ve seen you whispering with your colleagues during work hours several times!” Ye Cong also walked over at this time and said to Ai Wei in a suspicious tone.

Ai Wei said sternly, “I was discussing work with my colleagues. Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who likes to spread other people’s secrets around.”

“Who knows?!” Ye Cong curled his lips and said, “You better keep your mouth shut. If I hear someone in the Company spreading rumors about me and Junchi in the future, I’ll tell the Manager that you’re slacking off during work hours. Do you know? Your Manager is my uncle, and he usually treats me the best.”

Seeing his attitude, Ai Wei was also a little unhappy and said, “I guarantee that I won’t talk about it, but I can only guarantee that I won’t talk about it myself. If you guys mess around in the Company like this, you’ll be seen by other colleagues sooner or later. When that happens, it won’t be my business if other people talk about it.”

Ye Cong’s fair and delicate face turned slightly red, and he said angrily, “What did you say?!”

Xia Junchi pulled him back in time and said, “Forget it, he’s already agreed, so he shouldn’t talk about it.”

Ai Wei looked at Xia Junchi approvingly, and then continued to feel heartbroken. Why was such an understanding and handsome guy someone else’s and not his!

Speaking of which, he didn’t look worse than Ye Cong. Ai Wei was very confident in his appearance. Although he didn’t have the kind of handsome and masculine look that he liked the most, he was slender, had fair skin, and had regular and beautiful features. He was also a recognized little handsome guy. Why didn’t Xia Junchi like him?

It would be one thing if he found a handsome guy who had a good temper, looked good, knew how to care for people, and could make money. But he actually found such a flamboyant and cheap thing, but didn’t find him, which was really heartbreaking.

Ai Wei got into the elevator heartbrokenly. Since all three of them were going to the first floor, Xia Junchi and Ye Cong also got on the elevator.

Ai Wei pressed the number for the first floor and stood there waiting for the elevator to reach the first floor. Ye Cong was still whispering something to Xia Junchi next to him. He didn’t care. When the elevator “dinged” and arrived at the first floor, he got out of the elevator.

The first floor was a spacious and clean hall, with Stone Green Marble Floors in cool colors and white walls. There were a few sofas for people to rest on by the wall, and next to the sofas were Plant Stands with green Ornamental Plants on them, which looked very stylish.

The Company’s door was a super large Full-Length Glass Window. Bright light shone into the hall from the outside, making everything in the hall clearly visible.

And now, in this hall, there was a person slowly wandering around. That person was wearing a suit and looked like someone from the Company.
