Chapter 78 - Ahhhhhh!

They had to get to the venue on Saturday morning, so Duan Shu Tong had to ask for leave on Friday in order to carpool with Xi Duan to Hai City together.

Coincidentally, Lu Shi had to leave Shan Quan County too.

Early on Friday morning, Duan Shu Tong packed up his luggage and picked up the gift he was going to give to Xi Duan. After leaving the bedroom, he thought about it, turned back around, and put down the gift.

It was better to wait until they got back from Hai City to give the present to Xi Duan.

In the living room, Lu Shi was already fully equipped*. He sat on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. Actually, his chauffeur was already waiting outside, but he wanted to say goodbye to Duan Shu Tong, and while he was at it, he could see with his own eyes whether President Xi was taking care of Duan Shu Tong as Lin Man Man said.

[*T/N: I didn't understand what the author was trying to say at first, but after translating some more of the story, I believe it means that Lu Shi is in disguise again, with sunglasses, hat, scarf, etc, to hide his appearance.]

Before Duan Shu Tong could come downstairs, the doorbell rang first.

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment. The doorbell rang again. He looked up the stairs. The second floor seemed silent. So he got up, walked over, and opened the door before the bell could ring for a third time.

The man outside the door was very tall, and his appearance was absolutely excellent. At first, the man had a slightly gentle aura around him, but when he saw Lu Shi, the man suddenly became biting cold. The man's astute eyes carried hidden depths. He glanced over Lu Shi indifferently. In the next second, the sharpness around him disappeared in a flash.

"Lu Shi." The man used an affirmative sentence. His voice was low and cold.

Even though Xi Duan kept restraining himself and kept himself from approaching Duan Shu Tong, it could be seen that he couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart when he saw the person who had been living with Duan Shu Tong for the past ten days.

Lu Shi chuckled and deliberately said in a familiar tone, "Shu Tong is still upstairs, Mr. Xi is early."

Xi Duan did indeed arrive early. He was simply too excited. He got up early in the morning and didn't want to stay at home and wait. There was a voice in his heart urging him to come to Duan Shu Tong.

He recalled the first time they shared a ride together a few months ago. At that time, he was neglectful towards the young man. Xi Duan has already secretly berated himself many times over that fact.

The two men stared at each other for a few seconds. The imposing manner that he had originally restrained was gradually starting to seep out again. Then came a sound from the staircase.

"Uncle Xi came very early." Duan Shu Tong carried a small suitcase with him, and he wore casual clothes. He walked down the stairs with a smile on his face, looking very handsome.

"Phfft." Lu Shi burst out laughing. When he heard Duan Shu Tong call Xi Duan "uncle" he just lost it.

Lu Shi turned his head to look at Xi Duan. Just as he suspected, Xi Duan's face had darkened even more.

Although Xi Duan maintained an expressionless face all along, Lu Shi, as an actor, was still very sensitive to micro-expressions.

Ordinary people would not be able to tell, but Lu Shi could see it clearly. Perhaps, even Xi Duan himself was not aware of it, but the way he looked at Duan Shu Tong was very gentle and cautious, wavering like he wanted to go near but also did not dare to approach.

Lu Shi didn't know what Duan Shu Tong thought of Xi Duan, but he could be certain now that Xi Duan's thoughts for Duan Shu Tong were not simple.

Lu Shi liked gossip very much. This situation was so interesting that it might be able to sustain his gossipy heart for a long time to come.

When he saw Duan Shu Tong, Xi Duan subconsciously restrained his imposing manner. When the young man got to the entrance, Xi Duan straight up took the suitcase off his hands. When the young man looked at him with a puzzled expression, Xi Duan eyed the shoe cabinet and said, "You change your shoes."

Duan Shu Tong said: "...Thank you." Xi Duan was really too considerate.

Off to one side, Lu Shi was watching all of this with joyful eyes. It's just that he was wearing sunglasses, so the two awkward men with palpitating hearts did not notice at all.

The three of them walked out together. Liu Zhi Fei and Cen Ning were standing beside the car and were about to say hello to Duan Shu Tong, but when they saw Lu Shi, who was fully equipped, they were so surprised that they forgot what to say.

Lu Shi nodded his head slightly at the two of them. Then, right in front of everybody, he said politely to Duan Shu Tong: "Thank you Young Master Duan for taking care of me during this time. Whenever Young Master Duan returns to Yan City, you must tell me, so that I may have the honor of inviting you to dinner."

Duan Shu Tong smiled politely, "Okay, be careful on the road."

Lu Shi watched as Xi Duan put Duan Shu Tong's suitcase into the car trunk himself. The refreshing feeling of watching a good play rose up in his heart once again.

It was like he was the first person to discover a secret, and the feeling was very fulfilling.
