It is bad...
It is so bad to have company....
Specially a hyperactive 26 year old who is too cute to scold..
The decision to stick around was taken at that moment because he thought it was the right thing to do. Man, does he regret it. The moment they were headed back from the ancient town, XiaoBao started talking nonstop. Guy has no breaks. And he was very observant. Li Lianhua thought XiaoBao's mind was so occupied, but noooo he can multi task while running his mouth so fast...
But Li Lianhua was kind of happy to have him around. For his bleak, lonely life, this was like someone spit rainbows and sunshine and flowers. Well, he thought of tolerating it to see whether he would come to like it. For whatever reason, he can not see him as anything else other than a little brother who is a little too spoilt. Anyways, he had to take him home this weekend, so he might as well get the full picture of what kind of life he had so far in the modern world.
Li Lianhua lost his parents when he was very young. But he had his uncle to support him until his education was finished and found a job. He was lucky to have such a family member. For him, Di Feisheng was a whole new interest. This was because of his memory loss with the accident. But he felt very familiar about him the moment he called to set an appointment for the XiaoBao's contract. The voice... the voice was very serious at the same time challenging... No one has challenged Li Lianhua for a long time. So it was refreshing. His interest in visiting Di Feisheng was immediate. He needed to see who it was. In the end, Li Lianhua was not disappointed.
Di Feisheng had this aura of authority, and the way he carried himself was... very confident and nonchalant at the same time. It was like Di Feisheng knew everything already or he had calculated all the possibilities and impossibilities and weighed the best option for both parties. He was literally smart, sharp, and shrewd. But for some reason, Li Lianhua felt that he was loyal to him as well... Even though most of his memories are distorted, mainly due to the accident, he knew the moment he met Di Feisheng that they were meant to meet each other. It's like fate. And he still remembered how both of them smirked at each other the moment their eyes met. It was like muscle memory.
XiaoBao kept yapping the whole nine yards and more until they came to the apartment complex. After he parked and walked up to the elevator, he looked at Fang Duobing, "Late morning call tomorrow. I will wake you up on time. Light clothes."....
"Eehhh... Aiiiyyyahhh... stop being so professional. You can call me Bao or XiaoBao or AFang or whatever... please stop being distant. I knew I had something to do with you the moment I saw you...."
"What? There's nothing to do with me. Okay? I'm your manager and on the spot lawyer. This is a precautionary measure Di Feisheng took to protect you. I would also like to advise you not to say my name in public because I hate getting attention... call me... Xiagyi... People don't know that name except very few close people who know me."
XiaoBao doesn't know when to quit... "Oooo, what close people? Who are they? Are they men or women? Why are you close with them?"....
Li Lianhua just rolled his eyes. This one is too much trouble.
After they got into the elevator, Li Lianhua checked his phone. Only his assistant had sent him some notices and emails. Even though he is committed full-time for this contract, he still helped out some of his closest clients. They, after all, knew him for a long time.
When they got to their apartments, XiaoBao followed Li Lianhua to his unit. "What are you doing?"
"I wanna see inside..."
"There's nothing to see. It's the same one as yours. There's nothing special."
"I'll see about that..."
With that, effortlessly, XiaoBao slipped inside. The condo is the same as his. Only this one has a different view. It opens up towards the river... The sun rises, and the sun sets must be amazing.... XiaoBao thought.
"Can you please leave now.?.."
"NO! I haven't done exploring yet...." With that, Fang Duobing started walking all over the place. He opened the fridge and went through everything. Then he went to the rooms downstairs. "Which one you sleep in?".....
"Why do you need to know that?"
"Never mind, I found it...hehehe."
Li Lianhua thought of ignoring the whole fiasco. He removed his jacket and hanged it in the coat closet. Then he went to the fridge and took a bottle of water. While drinking it, he went through some of the emails... Then he started replying to one... Meanwhile, suddenly, he realised everything was silent. Usually, he is very comfortable with the silence, but having someone like Fang Duobing around and suddenly everything becoming quite was not a good thing... So he called his name... "XiaoBao.... XiaoBao... Fang Duobing... where are you..?" With that, he started walking towards the sairs. There he was, Fang Duobing on the couch upstairs, fallen asleep. Li Lianhua double-checked whether he was sleeping and then took the blanket in the corner and covered him. Maybe he was tired he had an early start after all..
Later, after a few hours, Li Lianhua ordered some food and went to wake XiaoBao up. He lightly tapped on him... "Wakey wakey... spoilt Bao baby..."
"Mmmhmm... let me sleep.."
"Nope. It's not gonna happen. I ordered food, eat, and go and sleep in your own bed. You have work tomorrow. "
XiaoBao was not happy, but he was hungry. So he got up and followed Li Lianhua downstairs. After eating while watching TV, Li Lianhua gave some camomile tea to Bao to calm his nerves. Then he said, "Don't forget the melatonin..."
"Hmm, okay..."
"I'm going then. But I will sleep at your place too"....
At this, Li Lianhua shivered. He was not easily worried. But this guy was not a room mate he wants to have around.
"Good night now.. sleep well."
With that, he closed the door behind Fang Duobing and locked it. He had to clean up and get to bed, too...
XiaoBao was so ecstatic. He was finally having this person who he could be with... But for some unknown reason, he felt nervous and knew that Li Lianhua didn't feel the same way. But he shook off the worries.. Somehow, he's gonna keep him around and protect him like his asset, especially from that scheming Di Dumb Face!..... XiaoBao smiled to himself as he got ready for bed...
