“How much is your salary?” Huo Zhixiao asked suddenly.
Ding Yinan reported a number.
“If I remember correctly,” Huo Zhixiao paused, “Your salary is counted on my head, right?”
“Yes.” Ding Yinan did not deny it.
Huo Zhixiao “tsk”: “So you suck so much blood from me every month.”
Ding Yinan never thought that the salary he got was unworthy. He looked at Huo Zhixiao and asked emphatically, “Am I not worth it?”
Huo Zhixiao didn’t answer right away, he looked away and thought for a while, but Ding Yinan didn’t know what bad idea he was thinking. After a while, he said to Ding Yinan: “I don’t know if it’s worth it, please give me a work report first.”
Ding Yinan: “…”
No one likes to do work reports, and Ding Yinan was no exception.
The rule of Jiushan Architects was that employees must make a work report at the end of each year, and the boss used this as a basis to judge how much the employee’s salary will increase in the next year.
Ding Yinan’s direct supervisor was Huo Zhixiao, but Huo Zhixiao never cared about these things. In the past three years, Ding Yinan had been directly reporting to Huo Xun, and he thought that Huo Zhixiao would not like the content of the report.
“Do you really want to listen?” Ding Yinan asked.
“Why don’t you listen?” Huo Zhixiao was obviously interested.
Ding Yinan was silent for a moment, and he weighed it in his heart. Although Huo Xun was the one who recruited him into the office, he stayed by Huo Zhixiao’s side all year round. If he had to say something, between the father and son, he, in fact, I prefer Huo Zhixiao.
He opened his mouth slowly, and confessed to Huo Zhixiao: “Boss Huo gave me three requirements. The first is to assist you in your work, the second is to ensure your normal work and rest, and the third is to help you pay attention to whether there are suitable people around you, and if there is, let you settle down as soon as possible.”
Huo Zhixiao’s face turned black obviously. He seemed to realize that Ding Yinan didn’t just listen to his arrangements. Behind Ding Yinan, there was his father, the big Buddha.
“I did a good job at the first two points.” Ding Yinan knew that Huo Zhixiao didn’t like being controlled by Huo Xun, but instead of waiting until Huo Zhixiao found out about these things, it was better for him to take the initiative to confess, so that Huo Zhixiao wouldn’t go too far angry, “As for the last point, Mr. Huo doesn’t know your sexual orientation, so I can’t do anything about it.”
“Is that so?” Huo Zhixiao snorted coldly, “My dad really took great pains.”
Ding Yinan didn’t answer, he thought that Huo Zhixiao was just upset for a while, after all, Huo Xun didn’t care about him for a day or two.
But this time he seemed to have underestimated how angry Huo Zhixiao was, and only heard Huo Zhixiao say to him expressionlessly: “I don’t think I need to pay you any more.”
Ding Yinan’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he worked so hard just to get this salary, wouldn’t it kill him if he didn’t pay him?

Many people who are new to society make this mistake. Seeing that their boss was friendly, they thought they could speak freely. Not only did they joke with the boss, but also told the boss what should not be known to the boss.
The ass determines the head, and different positions were destined to have different ways of thinking. Many rookies in the workplace thought that opening their hearts was a way of showing loyalty, but they didn’t know that the boss didn’t want to hear unnecessary information from them.
Ding Yinan was not a rookie in the workplace, he could always grasp the sense of proportion just right.
But just like he inexplicably interfered with Huo Zhixiao’s dog raising, for some reason, he mixed unnecessary personal thoughts into his work.
He told himself three times that Huo Zhixiao was the boss. He needed to stop meddling in other people’s business, and then went back to the downstairs room.
At this time, Huo Zhixiao was sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding a laptop and browsing something. When Ding Yinan walked into the room, he didn’t even bother to give him a look.
Ding Yinan breathed out, and took the initiative to talk to Huo Zhixiao: “That bamboo, have you thought about what to do with it?”
Huo Zhixiao was still looking at the computer, and after a long while, he uttered two words: “No.”
Fine.
Ding Yinan knew that Huo Zhixiao hadn’t calmed down, so he came to his bed and sat down, looked at Huo Zhixiao and said, “I’m not a spy sent by your father.”
“Really.” Huo Zhixiao said lightly.
“Your father wants you to go to bars less, do you think I have ever taken care of you?”
Huo Zhixiao finally raised his eyes and glanced at Ding Yinan.
“I never told him,” Ding Yinan paused, “Your private life is so rich.”
If Ding Yinan was really a spy sent by Huo Xun, then Huo Xun should have known that his son was gay.
Huo Zhixiao seemed to realize this too. He looked at the computer for a while, and when he spoke again, his tone was not as cold as before: “If my dad says anything to you in the future, just tell me.”
“Yes.” Ding Yinan said.
“I want to build a slide between two flat areas.” Huo Zhixiao jumped up and changed the subject, turning the computer screen to Ding Yinan, “What do you think of this?”
Ding Yinan couldn’t see clearly, so he simply came to Huo Zhixiao’s bed and sat cross-legged to watch the case that Huo Zhixiao showed him up close.
“It’s pretty good.” Ding Yinan couldn’t give any professional advice, “It looks very interesting.”
“Bamboo can be used for some decorations, so that the two buildings can be integrated with the hillside, otherwise it will look very abrupt.”
Ding Yinan nodded, quietly listening to Huo Zhixiao’s thoughts.
But at this time, Huo Zhixiao suddenly asked without beginning or end: “Then how do you plan to solve the third point?”
“What?” Ding Yinan was startled.
“My dad wants me to get married.” Huo Zhixiao said, “How do you plan to solve it?”
How else can Ding Yinan solve this problem? “I can’t help it,” he said truthfully.
Huo Zhixiao chuckled, put the computer on the bedside table, then put his hands behind his back, leaned back and looked at Ding Yinan from a distance, and said: “My dad definitely hopes that you are a woman.”
Ding Yinan was noncommittal, Huo Zhixiao said again: “He recruited several female assistants for me before, but I left them all in anger.”
Ding Yinan could fully understand why he would be angry, because Huo Zhixiao would curse when he is angry. Being scolded by a handsome guy like him, he is afraid not many little girls can bear it psychologically.
“How do you tolerate me?” Huo Zhixiao tilted his head and asked.
Ding Yinan thought for a while and said, “The salary of this job is a huge sum of money for me.”
The implication was that as long as the money was in place, it was not a problem.
Huo Zhixiao laughed directly. The two sat cross-legged on the bed, their knees were very close to each other. Huo Zhixiao smiled, and their knees inevitably touched each other.
Ding Yinan’s pajama pants were knee-length shorts, his calves were casually overlapped, and his bony ankles were shining white under the low-quality fluorescent lamp.
Huo Zhixiao lowered his eyes halfway, looked at Ding Yinan’s ankle and said, “Secretary Ding.”
“Yes?” Ding Yinan responded.
“We’re going back tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
“Aren’t you going to do something tonight?”
Ding Yinan belatedly realized that Huo Zhixiao was looking at him not quite right, he subconsciously sat up straight and wanted to turn over and get out of bed, but at this moment Huo Zhixiao suddenly leaned over and pushed him onto the bed.
“Master Huo?” Ding Yinan widened his eyes, looking at Huo Zhixiao in disbelief.
“Let’s do something.”
After saying this, Huo Zhixiao leaned over and blocked Ding Yinan’s lips.
Ding Yinan’s brain exploded, he pushed Huo Zhixiao’s shoulder away, but he grabbed his wrist and pressed it to his ear. The tip of the tongue drilled into his mouth, like revenge for what he did last time, and kept sweeping the sensitive area of his palate.
“Huo Zhixiao!” Ding Yinan raised his chin, barely avoiding Huo Zhixiao’s kiss. But before he could yell at him, Huo Zhixiao leaned over and bit his lips again, and unscrupulously put his right hand into his clothes, kneading the nipples on his chest.
“Hmm…” Ding Yinan let out a muffled groan uncontrollably, he grabbed Huo Zhixiao’s forearm so hard that his five fingers almost sank into the flesh. But it still couldn’t stop those fingers from messing around on his chest.
“You’ve reacted.” Huo Zhixiao leaned into Ding Yinan’s ear, with an unconcealable joy in his tone. With his other hand, he rubbed Ding Yinan’s swollen genitals, as if he was playing with a toy he couldn’t put down.
“Are you finished?!” Ding Yinan roared unbearably, “I’m not fucking impotent!”
Ding Yinan had never made such a big fuss in his life, Huo Zhixiao seemed a little surprised. he restrained himself a little, stopped touching the little Ding Ding below, but looked at Ding Yinan and said: “I won’t go in, we don’t have condom here.”
There was a hint of grievance in his tone, as if he had made a big concession by not going in.
“Where do you want to go?!” Ding Yinan asked angrily.
He propped his elbows on his side, and stepped back a distance, the sudden cooling of the air finally made Huo Zhixiao stop his movements.
“Are you crazy?” Ding Yinan quickly left Huo Zhixiao’s bed, frowned and complained, “Did the countryside make you hold back for too long?”
Huo Zhixiao lowered his eyes, the reaction somewhere has not subsided. He was silent for a long while, then carelessly rubbed the broken hair on his forehead, and said as if giving up on himself: “I don’t know.”
–I don’t have any idea.
Ding Yinan just complained a few words, and didn’t expect Huo Zhixiao to answer seriously.
But hearing what Huo Zhixiao said, he didn’t know what to say. Huo Zhixiao’s expression was as if he was possessed by a ghost just now, and he himself didn’t know why he had that impulse.
Ding Yinan exhaled heavily, but his expression was still not very good. He took the cigarette case and lighter, and left the room without saying a word.
Not only did Huo Zhixiao need to calm down, he also needed to calm down.
The next morning, Ding Yinan could clearly feel that the atmosphere between him and Huo Zhixiao was not right. But what exactly was wrong, he couldn’t tell.
Until he came to him holding Huo Zhixiao’s tie, for the first time in three years, Huo Zhixiao stretched out his hand to him, and said calmly, “I’ll do it myself.”
At this time Ding Yinan understood that Huo Zhixiao was keeping a distance from him.
