Without the ease of getting answers from Boss Qian, Wen Jiaxuan could only figure things out on his own. After tossing and turning for a while, he couldn’t endure it any longer and fell asleep directly.
Even though he couldn’t pinpoint a specific reason after pondering it, Wen Jiaxuan had a feeling deep in his heart. Most likely, he had developed feelings for men because when he “relieved himself” last night, all he could think of were male characteristics, many of which came from his boss.
This was very likely what Wu Zehao meant by “Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups.” He thought there should be another rule: “Those close to vermilion turn red, those close to ink turn black.” He was completely influenced.
“Little brat, planning to sleep in today?”
A familiar voice suddenly echoed from above. Wen Jiaxuan instinctively burrowed into the gap in the sofa, then immediately remembered that there would be a fine for oversleeping, so he quickly sat up straight.
Due to tossing and turning all night and being unable to sleep for a long time, he now had prominent dark circles under his eyes, and his bed hair had reached new heights.
“Come over for breakfast,” Wu Zehao reached out toward Wen Jiaxuan’s cheek. Wen Jiaxuan instinctively squinted his eyes, anticipating a pinch, but for some reason, his boss’s hand suddenly paused in mid-air, then withdrew.
Is the boss… keeping his distance?
There was a small sense of disappointment in his heart. Wen Jiaxuan got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
The saying that “seeing is believing” had its merits. While brushing his teeth, Wen Jiaxuan’s gaze kept drifting back to the bathroom counter where he had sat last night.
Last night when Wu Zehao had held his earlobe with his tongue, it was incredibly skillful, and it made him so ticklish that even his toes curled…
Stop it, stop it!
Wen Jiaxuan quickly rinsed the foam from his mouth and then haphazardly wiped his face with the Mickey Mouse towel.
Today’s breakfast was a vegetable and fruit salad. The two of them sat across from each other as usual. Wu Zehao, also as usual, ate breakfast while browsing the news on his phone.
But Wen Jiaxuan was different from usual.
He forked half a cherry tomato into his mouth and then sneakily glanced at Wu Zehao.
He forked a piece of avocado into his mouth and then stole another glance at Wu Zehao.
He picked up a cluster of purple kale…
Wu Zehao suddenly withdrew his gaze from his phone without warning and looked at Wen Jiaxuan, saying, “Why do you keep looking at me?”
Wen Jiaxuan blushed and awkwardly changed the subject, “Uh, do we have Thousand Island dressing at home?”
“It’s on the second shelf of the second cabinet on the right-hand side.”
Wen Jiaxuan quickly left the dining table to organize his thoughts under the cabinet.

The bottom shelf of the cabinet was taller than Wen Jiaxuan, and when he opened the cabinet door, he quickly realized that the second shelf was a bit out of reach for him. He stood on his tiptoes to take a look, and while he could see the bottle of Thousand Island dressing, it was still beyond his reach.
He stretched his body as much as possible, and his fingertips finally touched the bottle. But at that moment, he felt something warm covering his back. When he snapped out of it, the bottle of Thousand Island dressing was right in front of him.
“Take it,” Wu Zehao said.
Wen Jiaxuan swallowed nervously, took the Thousand Island dressing from Wu Zehao, and then met his gaze.
At this moment, Wu Zehao’s left hand was resting on the marble countertop, right at Wen Jiaxuan’s waist. When he had reached for the bottle earlier, his body had been pressed against Wen Jiaxuan’s back, although it had been just for a moment. After retrieving the bottle, he had quickly taken a step back, but now Wen Jiaxuan was still trapped between him and the countertop.
“Thank you…” Wen Jiaxuan said, his mood feeling somewhat complex.
“Next time, if you can’t reach it, just call me,” Wu Zehao said.
After Wu Zehao had finished speaking, he returned to his seat at the dining table. Wen Jiaxuan held the bottle of Thousand Island dressing to his chest and couldn’t help but say, “Boss…”
“What is it?” Wu Zehao asked.
“You last night…”
His mouth moved faster than his brain, and as soon as he spoke, Wen Jiaxuan regretted it. He had just opened a can of worms.
“What happened last night?” Wu Zehao put down his fork and asked.
Wen Jiaxuan bit his lower lip, thinking he needed to clarify this matter. So he asked, “Why did you stop last night?”
Wait! That wasn’t the right way to ask!
“You didn’t want me to stop?” Wu Zehao raised an eyebrow, slightly puzzled.
“No, no, what I meant was, why did you suddenly change your mind? I just wanted to make sure, in case you…”
“I won’t do it again in the future,” Wu Zehao replied casually.
Hearing this, Wen Jiaxuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like a weight had been lifted from his chest. This was something he couldn’t figure out on his own, and now that they had talked about it, it was much better. After all, Wu Zehao had said he wouldn’t do it again in the future, so he didn’t need to dwell on it anymore.
He sat back at the dining table feeling much more relaxed and said without much thought, “Boss, I didn’t misjudge you. You really are a good person.”
Wu Zehao: “…”
Wen Jiaxuan had simply expressed his thoughts without realizing that he had inadvertently flirted with someone, made them stop voluntarily, and then handed out a “good person” card.
“Why did you ask me why I stopped just now?” Wu Zehao leisurely grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth.
“I thought maybe you had a change of heart,” Wen Jiaxuan picked up his yogurt and took a sip with a straw.
“No, it’s just that I suddenly remembered,” Wu Zehao paused, “we don’t have condoms and lubricant at home, and it’s inconvenient without them.”
“Pfft—cough, cough, cough!”
Wu Zehao grabbed another tissue, extended his long hand, and calmly wiped away the yogurt that had splashed on Wen Jiaxuan.
“Also, when I said I won’t do it again in the future,” Wu Zehao paused again, “I meant I won’t ‘stop’ in the future. Do you understand?”
Wen Jiaxuan was choked, and his lips turned red. He looked at Wu Zehao in disbelief and said, “Why are you always like this? You don’t keep your word!”
“I’m the boss, do you have a problem with that?”
Wen Jiaxuan was left speechless and resentfully glared at Wu Zehao’s retreating figure. He silently cursed his boss for eating instant noodles without a sauce packet.
However, at this moment, Wu Zehao, who had already reached the living room, suddenly turned back and said, “Give me your passport; I’ll buy the plane tickets.”
Wen Jiaxuan was taken aback, and all his dissatisfaction and curses were pushed aside. He asked uncertainly, “Boss, are you taking me on a trip?”
Wu Zehao corrected him, saying, “It’s for work.”
“Right, right, it’s for work!” Wen Jiaxuan quickly changed his tune. “Boss is so kind! Long live the boss!”
Wen Jiaxuan swiftly cleaned up the dining table and then hurried to the storage cabinet, starting to search for his passport.
“Boss, do you think that because you took advantage of me last night, you need to compensate me now?” Wen Jiaxuan joked nonchalantly.
“…No.”
Wen Jiaxuan took out his passport and habitually counted the entry and exit stamps collected on it. His mind was preoccupied with numbers, and he made a joke without thinking, “It’s okay! I’m completely okay with the ‘level’ of last night!”
“…”
“Here, my passport!” Wen Jiaxuan cheerfully handed his passport to Wu Zehao, who was sitting in the office chair. Then he leaned in closely to Wu Zehao, intending to see him book the flight. If necessary, he felt he could offer some guidance since he was familiar with Japan.
“What ‘level’ are you not okay with?” Wu Zehao picked up his phone, searching for flights as he asked.
“Hmm?” Wen Jiaxuan was completely focused on Wu Zehao’s phone screen and didn’t respond immediately.
“Licking your earlobes is okay, what about other places?” Wu Zehao still didn’t lift his head. “Is your nipple also okay?”
“…Huh?” Wen Jiaxuan sat up straight, subconsciously thinking he had misheard. “What are you talking about?”
“So I want you to use your brain properly and stop talking nonsense.” Wu Zehao quickly bought the plane tickets without giving Wen Jiaxuan a chance to intervene. He tapped Wen Jiaxuan’s passport against his forehead and reminded him, “We’ll be going for four days and three nights this time. You’ll be sharing a room with me, so behave yourself and don’t try to seduce me again.”
Wen Jiaxuan put away his passport and blinked in confusion. “Boss, what do you mean? What do you mean by ‘don’t try to seduce you again’? When did I ever try to seduce you?”
“Do you want me to list them for you?” Wu Zehao asked.
“You can list them; if you list even one, I’ll admit defeat,” Wen Jiaxuan said with some pride.
Wu Zehao chuckled coldly, turned his office chair to face Wen Jiaxuan, and asked expressionlessly, “On the second night you came to my house, did you or did you not go without pants after taking a bath?”
“I washed my pants,” Wen Jiaxuan explained.
“Washing them is one thing, but did you also bend over and show me your butt?”
“You… you saw it?” Wen Jiaxuan only realized belatedly that Wu Zehao had seen half of his buttocks. His tone immediately softened, “How was I supposed to know that little clip would pop off…”
“When I went to Croatia, didn’t you show yourself naked to me?” Wu Zehao asked again.
“????” Wen Jiaxuan widened his eyes. “Boss, it’s a misunderstanding! I just happened to not be wearing clothes while chatting with you!”
“Then what do you call it if not showing yourself naked?” Wu Zehao immediately retorted.
“…Right,” Wen Jiaxuan shrugged.
“Did you or did you not ride on my back? Twice,” Wu Zehao continued to ask, “And did you sit on my lap, hug my neck, and call me your husband?”
Wen Jiaxuan didn’t dare to speak up. If Wu Zehao didn’t bring it up, he wouldn’t even have realized he had done so many mischievous things.
“Wen Jiaxuan,” Wu Zehao still spoke without much expression, “You’re the first person to call me ‘husband.’ How do you think I should deal with you?”
“Is that so…” Wen Jiaxuan buried his head, feeling genuinely guilty. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to… seduce you.”
“I know,” Wu Zehao said, and this was exactly what troubled him the most. “That’s why I need to make it clear to you. Otherwise, if things continue like this, what happened last night might happen again.”
Wen Jiaxuan quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at grains and said, “You’re right, Boss. Don’t worry; I’ll definitely be more careful in the future.”
“Good.” Wu Zehao breathed a sigh of relief, but fearing that Wen Jiaxuan might forget, he added cautiously, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you; there are condoms and lubricants in the hotel.”
Wen Jiaxuan immediately understood what Wu Zehao meant, and his face turned red. “I understand, Boss. If I try to seduce you again, I’ll be dog.”
