Male Lead 2 and Male Lead 3 Happy Ending!

Chapter 99 - Mutual Understanding

Xi Duan listened to Duan Shu Tong and sat down obediently, but unfortunately his legs were too long and the back of the passenger seat in front of him was pushed backwards a little too much, so he could only sit leaning out. He looked a bit sullen.

Duan Shu Tong saw the predicament that Xi Duan was in and deliberately asked him, "How does it feel to take the high-speed train?"

Xi Duan turned his head to look at him. There was a warm light in his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his lips, "Very good."

"How is it good?"

"It's all good."

The train began to speed up and galloped in the direction of Yan City. Duan Shu Tong stopped talking and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

In the carriage there were the sounds of people chatting, people making phone calls, videos playing on phones, and children's screaming voices. Everything was lively.

Duan Shu Tong closed his eyes. In his head, images of Xi Duan keep popping up one after another. Each image was imprinted clearly and deeply in his mind.

In the past, he was blindfolded by his inherent impression of Xi Duan, believing that Xi Duan held "deep emotions" for Pei Ruo Wei. Now, it was like the clouds have been dispersed and he could see the sun, getting a glimpse of the truth.

It was like he has been poured a bowl of sweet syrup. His heart was only filled with joy.

He opened his eyes and sent a WeChat message on his mobile phone: Are you taking the high-speed train again for the trip back?

Hearing the notification alert, Xi Duan turned on his phone and stared at the message for a few seconds. Just as he was pondering on the young man's intentions, a service personnel came over with a cart full of snacks and drinks and Xi Duan's legs just happened to be blocking the path of the cart.

"Sir, can you move a bit?"

Xi Duan retracted his legs, but the passenger seat space was too small, so he had to lean towards Duan Shu Tong, and naturally their knees bumped together.

They could feel the warmth of the other person's body heat through the thin fabric of their pants.

After a while Duan Shu Tong lowered his head and said, "She passed through already."

"En." Xi Duan moved his legs back into the aisle.

The air felt so viscous that it made his heart pound, and it became difficult to even breathe.

Xi Duan rubbed his fingertips on the armrest unconsciously, and it wasn't until his mind calmed down that he remembered that he hadn't replied to the WeChat message yet.

But what did Duan Shu Tong mean with that message? How should he [Xi Duan] answer? Will the young man get angry if he gave the wrong response?

The more you cared about something, the more you tend to over think the matter.

Xi Duan even searched the Internet for related topics, "What does it mean when someone I like asks me if I want to take the high-speed train for the return trip?"

Of course he did not get any results for his search.

No matter how astute and formidable someone was, once they fell in love, they will be like an ignorant brat, and their mind will be at sixes and sevens.

He pursed his lips, made up his mind, and replied: Yes.

Seeing the reply, Duan Shu Tong almost laughed out loud, and he replied happily: That's too bad, I wanted to carpool with you.

Xi Duan's inner heart: !!!

He promptly remedied the situation: Then let's take the car together.

Duan Shu Tong's eyebrows rose. Then he glanced over at Xi Duan. Their eyes just so happened to meet. Duan Shu Tong was unable to restraint he happy curve of his eyes.

Sunlight shone in through the window, lighting up the side of his face in dazzling sparkles. He was so good looking it was unfathomable.

At that precise moment, Xi Duan's heart was filled with endless tenderness. It was like everything sweet and soft was burrowing into this heart, filling it to the brim and then some more.

The sweet and fragrant atmosphere was abruptly interrupted by WeChat messages.

Duan Shu Tong looked down and couldn't help laughing, somewhat sadistically, rejoicing in another person's misfortune.

Without waiting for Xi Duan to ask, he brought the phone over to show him the picture on the screen. "There is a traffic jam on the expressway."

"Who sent you it?" Xi Duan asked.

Duan Shu Tong took back his phone and sat upright again, "Newly recruited technician." He suddenly thought of something, "Are Cen-ge and Liu-ge also going back to Yan City? Will they be stuck in traffic too?"

Xi Duan immediately sent a WeChat message to Cen Ning to express his concern.

As soon as he sent the message, he got Cen Ning's anguish wailing in reply: President Xi, you're so wise and farsighted! The high-speed rail is so great! The expressway is jammed tight!

Xi Duan finally understood the feeling of schadenfreude that Duan Shu Tong had expressed just now. Now more than ever, he felt lucky to be acquainted with the young man.

He sent both Cen Ning and Liu Zhi Fei a red envelope [through WeChat] to console them. At the same time, it alleviated the guilt he felt from being amused at their misfortune.

He showed Duan Shu Tong his WeChat account, and Duan Shu Tong praised sincerely, "What a good boss."

As for Duan Shu Tong, he didn't bother to give Han Ling a red envelope of consolation.

[T/N: Phffft, Duan Shu Tong is such a gremlin in this chapter. XD]
