A Doll Made By One’S Own Hands—— Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Chapter 40[VIP]

The emotional sustenance of the two reached its peak after experiencing this incident. They were basically inseparable internally and externally, comparable to conjoined twins connected by the umbilical cord in the mother’s womb.

It wasn’t until her senior year that Chi Qing passed the interview during the school recruitment and got an internship in a small company. The job remuneration was relatively good compared to others, and she was guaranteed to have single days off, but she might occasionally have to work overtime.

In fact, Chi Qing’s mental condition is now healthy and good with Chi Xianyu’s long-term companionship. Even if Chi Xianyu occasionally gets up in the middle of the night and is gone, Chi Qing will no longer wake up from nightmares.

It’s just that he is still a bit clumsy in interpersonal relationships, and after being alone with Chi Xianyu for a long time, his social skills are almost out of touch with society, and he is completely unable to communicate with ease.

Perhaps with this idea and purpose in mind, Chi Qing seized the opportunity to submit his resume during this spring recruitment, and did not reveal any information to Chi Xianyu before this.

Chi Xianyu was half-leaning on the bedside to sleep with Chi Qing. When he heard the news, his fingers that were turning the pages of the book stopped, and his long and beautiful eyes looked at Chi Qing who was chatting and beaming, “I feel like I haven’t had any contact with the outside world for a long time. It will be easy to lose touch with society if this continues. Besides, this can be considered a meager income…”

But Chi Xianyu watched him quietly and said nothing. He neither expressed agreement nor showed any objection.

Chi Qing’s excited tone suddenly dropped as he spoke, “Besides, the company address is very close to our home, and the commute only takes about ten minutes…”

Then it stopped abruptly.

He vaguely sensed that the other party was unhappy, and then asked Chi Xianyu in a worried and cautious tone, his voice obviously dull and depressed, “If you really don’t want me to go, I won’t go…”

Chi Xianyu’s eyes fell on the young man’s slightly depressed cheek for a long time, and then he put the book in his hand aside. Chi Qing’s eyes also inexplicably followed Chi Xianyu’s movements and fell on the book.

Chi Qing only saw the words “human beings”, “emotions” and “learning” before being interrupted by Chi Xianyu. He pinched Chi Qing’s slender chin and shook it, and said in a tone that was only intimate between lovers: “Aqing, I will support you in whatever you do, including this.”

After hearing this, Chi Qing’s round eyes suddenly brightened for a moment. Chi Xianyu took in everything, and then said cleverly and with a bit of pity: “But do you know? Going to work is different from going to school. According to social data feedback, your spirit may be very tense under this long and oppressive rhythm, and this state will be very tiring.”

“Aqing, can you really bear it?”

A few days later.

Chi Qing joined the company on time on Monday. The first three days were probably due to the probation period for the new employee. The manager in charge of him, Sister Wu, did not give him much work, but only allocated an appropriate amount of work content.

As Chi Xianyu said later, the tasks were heavy, and sometimes even unnecessary errands were arranged by the elders of the company.

In the beginning, it was printing documents and sorting project pages. Later, it became even more outrageous that he had to go downstairs to help get coffee and other takeaways. The endless work of other departments also made Chi Qing, an intern, work overtime. The time after get off work was basically getting shorter and shorter every day.

For safety reasons, Chi Xianyu would come to pick him up every time. Occasionally, one night when Chi Xianyu came to pick up Chi Qing, he was bumped into by a colleague. The next day, word spread throughout the office that an extremely beautiful man had come to pick up Chi Qing.

At first, some male colleagues expressed contempt and disbelief, saying, “How can any man look like this? What you said is too exaggerated.”

The next second, a slightly blurry photo was shown in front of the male colleague. He almost choked for breath. Even though the pixels were relatively low due to the distance, anyone with a discerning eye could still see the other person’s superior and eye-catching facial features in this photo.

“It’s indeed… pretty enough…” he murmured.

Later, when they curiously asked about Chi Qing’s relationship with the other party, the male colleague was the first to ask. Chi Qing was stunned for a moment under his pressing force. It was not known what kind of mentality and instinct to hide it: “It’s my brother.”

“It turns out they are brothers.” He murmured inadvertently, “It doesn’t look like that…”

Chi Qing didn’t care about these words. After all, the ones in school before were much worse than this.

The company arranged a team-building dinner on Friday, mainly to celebrate the over-fulfillment of the company’s project performance this month. Incidentally, it also held a small celebration party for Chi Qing to welcome Chi Qing to join their team after completing the probation period.

However, this matter was obviously forgotten by Chi Qing and he did not tell Chi Xianyu. As a result, Chi Xianyu appeared in the coffee shop under the office building near the end of the day. A colleague on the side caught a sharp glance and joked with a smile: “Chi Qing, you two brothers have such a good relationship. Your brother is here to pick you up again.”

Chi Qing looked down from the window, and as expected, the tall and familiar figure of Chi Xianyu came into view. Just when Chi Qing was about to withdraw his gaze, the other party seemed to vaguely sense the sight and raised his head.

Chi Qing smiled and said hello.

The male colleague on the side saw this and simply made a suggestion, “In that case, let Xianyu have dinner with us.”

“Besides, this is a team building specially organized for you. If you have more people, it will be more fun.”

“Besides, Chi Qing, your brother is so outstanding, you can’t hide him like this all the time, right?”

…

In the magnificent private room of the club, colleagues exchanged glasses with each other. After drinking for three rounds, the colleagues who were always good at talking turned their attention away from work and started a new topic.

At first, they chatted about the economic situation, fund stocks, housing prices, etc., but then for some reason the focus of the conversation gradually fell on Chi Xianyu.

It was obviously an invitation on the grounds of Chi Qing’s relatives, and it was a team-building party to celebrate Chi Qing, but in the end, the questions that were asked were all related to the word “Chi Xianyu”.

First, he politely asked Chi Xianyu how old he was, and then asked him where he worked. After asking some random questions one after another, he finally revealed his true intention, “Excuse me – are you still single at the moment?”

This is really strange.

It doesn’t ask whether you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Instead, it uses a question that blurs gender.

Chi Qing stopped while eating, and his eyes looked toward the source of the sound with a hint of caution.

The person who asked the question was a man. He was the male colleague who looked contemptuous and questioning at the beginning. His facial features, which could barely be called above average, were squeezed together due to tightness. He seemed to be very embarrassed. When he was about to take a drink of water to relieve his pounding heartbeat, he accidentally picked up the wrong water glass.

But those eyes were still looking straight and sincerely at Chi Xianyu, unblinking and waiting nervously and apprehensively with the others for Chi Xianyu’s answer.

Only then did Chi Qing suddenly realize that several eyes were staring at Chi Xianyu intently, full of expectation.

It’s really boring.

There is nothing more uncomfortable than having your boyfriend harassed by a group of people in front of him.

“Stab-” Chi Qing stood up and found an excuse to go out.

He washed his face in the bathroom and waited for the smell of tobacco and alcohol that he had picked up at the party to dissipate before walking back. After all, Chi Xianyu was still waiting for him in the box.

But halfway back, Chi Qing bumped into Chi Xianyu at the corner of the corridor. Along with him was the male colleague who was always asking questions. It seemed that the two of them were talking about something.

When Chi Qing was about to step forward to say hello, he suddenly heard the other party’s sudden confession. His expression was so sincere and hot that he seemed to be confessing his heart to Chi Xianyu, “I really-like you very much. Before I met you, I never thought that I would confess to someone of the same sex.”

“Xianyu.” The other party murmured obsessively, “You are so attractive.”

Sure enough, someone confessed again.

Chi Qing’s casual eyes glanced over the face of his male colleague, and he felt more and more funny for some reason. This colleague had been more or less kind to him since he joined the job. He occasionally took care of him at work, and had never inquired about Ding Dian and Chi Xianyu’s affairs with him.

Chi Qing originally thought that this colleague had no purpose for him, but he did not expect that this was the other party’s true intention of approaching him.

“Pfft.” Chi Qing couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. A slowly approaching figure interrupted the conversation between the two. The male colleague immediately fell silent when he saw this. Finally, he said vaguely in front of Chi Qing: “You don’t have to rush to tell me now, I can wait for your reply.”

After saying this, the male colleague glanced at Chi Qing in embarrassment, as if he felt uncomfortable being seen by the other party. After all, there is nothing more embarrassing than being confessed to a fellow colleague and brother of the same sex.

He was about to leave when Chi Xianyu’s sweet and cold voice came from behind, “I have a lover.”

Before the male colleague could react, Chi Xianyu had already taken Chi Qing’s hand in a very intimate manner and led him outside.

The male colleague who was left behind was stunned, his eyes fixed on the two people’s interlocked hands like hawks, and his lips straightened in an increasingly obscure manner.

Chi Qing had an unpleasant feeling inexplicably. After all, even if he didn’t look back, he could still feel the intense gaze on his back like a shadow.

–

on Monday.

Chi Qing’s eyebrows slightly frowned, and he moved his focused gaze away from the laptop screen in front of him. He glanced around suspiciously and found that everyone was busy at their workstations with their heads down, as if the several looks that had just been projected were all Chi Qing’s hallucinations.

He casually glanced at the workstation of the male colleague who confessed his love last week. It was empty.

Chi Qing didn’t pay much attention. When he lowered his head and was about to continue sorting out the documents he had just interrupted, the feeling of being frequently spied on and peeked at came over again.

But now Chi Qing is not as timid and fearful as before. He can face all kinds of unkind looks calmly.

The frequent peeping glances of the girl at the workstation on the right were too conspicuous. Chi Qing couldn’t help turning his head to look at her. As soon as their eyes met, the girl unnaturally looked away. She panicked and tapped on the computer to pretend that she was busy, and subconsciously lowered her computer screen slightly – as if she was afraid of being seen.

But when Chi Qing passed by with his peripheral vision, he accidentally glanced at the records on the other party’s chat software clearly.

—Help, I just learned that Chi Xianyu has a partner. This is simply bad news.

—Who?Has anyone verified this?

— If it really doesn’t work, why don’t you send someone to ask Chi Qing?

He looked back silently, roughly guessing who had deliberately leaked the news.

So boring.

Chi Qing subconsciously picked up the water cup – it was empty, so he stood up and went to drink the tea. Halfway through the hot water, a familiar male voice suddenly came from behind, “Why don’t you add some coffee or tea?”

He turned around and faced Tan Jin’s smiling face. The other party continued to greet Chi Qing as a senior, probably thinking that he could use this method to obtain more information related to Chi Xianyu from Chi Qing – if Chi Qing had not encountered that scene.

“No, if you take too much caffeine, you won’t be able to sleep at night.” Chi Qing politely declined.

He didn’t want to stay in the tea room with the man in front of him any longer. After a brief chat while receiving water, he was about to return to his work station, but the other person stopped him: “Wait a minute.”

Chi Qing turned his head and was about to ask him suspiciously what he was doing, but Tan Jin’s eyes with an inexplicable and scary smile first stayed on his face for a second, and then fell on the young man’s neck as white as snow with a bit of arrogance and obscenity.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Chi Qing reacted quickly and covered his neck. The woolen sweater he wore today was not high, and the faint traces Chi Xianyu left on it last night were not fully covered.

Light red, light crimson, anyone with a discerning eye who has experienced love affairs can see what caused the red marks at a glance.

Tan Jin chuckled in a low voice with unknown meaning. He did not make it too difficult for this intern who had just arrived, and still maintained an approachable expression.

But before leaving, he stopped when he passed by Chi Qing and said in a voice that only two people could hear, as if to check the facts, “He is not your brother, he is your boyfriend, right?”
