Sewing machine's love storyChapter 17

The question of whether or not he gave money was a very serious question, for, as the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Xu Nian had already become accustomed to his bank account getting deposits of hundreds of thousands, so that when they suddenly stopped it was understandably a little bit of a downer for him.  

But in front of Cheng Chen, he couldn’t show that he was down. ZhNjF

Nowadays, Cheng Chen stared at him like a chicken stared at rice grains.

No matter what Xu Nian did, he always had a ‘hurry up and come please me’ expression plastered to his face.

This led to the situation where, even when Xu Nian drank water, he had no choice but to ask him, “Do you want to drink some water?”

Cheng Chen didn’t disappoint. “I do.” SK rIi

Xu Nian had no choice but to go pour some water for him. 

The two drank water together, ate together, and what’s more, even went to the bathroom together, and would be side by side. Because they were so close, Xu Nian couldn’t help but take a peek at Cheng Chen’s.

The boss seemed to be unhappy and roughly said, “What are you looking at, little Homo?”

Xu Nian obediently stopped looking at once. 

After a while, Cheng Chen abruptly asked, “Is it big?”

“…..Sorry I didn’t see anything.” WhrSXu

In truth, Xu Nian didn’t understand what Cheng Chen was thinking. Even Chen Di was completely in the dark, so much so that he really wanted to go on ZhiHu and post the question, “My homophobic boss suddenly wants a gay guy to pursue him, what does that mean?” and see if the smart netizens of the web could help resolve his confusion.

No matter what Xu Nian did, he would secretly observe it. He would even make a list tallying everything on his computer.

Once, Chen Di was helping the boss manage forms and saw this list, and was momentarily unable to control his facial expressions.  QMl2wB

“What do you think?” Cheng Chen was actually very serious. “Isn’t my point system really strict?”

Chen Di had no choice but to say, “Yes, yes, of course, of course.”

Cheng Chen smugly said, “It’s not so easy to pursue me.”

At this, Chen Di couldn’t help but ask, “Then how many points in total would be needed to successfully get you to agree to date?” lxqFB2

Cheng Chen didn’t even need to think about it. “Of course it would have to be full points.”

Chen Di was a little curious. “Then how much does Xu Nian have now?”

Cheng Chen was a bit dumbstruck at that, as he hadn’t paid much attention. So, he went back and started calculating. Then, his expression became a little unsightly, as Xu Nian was close to getting full marks.  bfegrZ

Chen Di started urging him to use the rotten ideas he gave. “How about you raise the amount of points that are deducted?

Cheng Chen furrowed his brows and started editing the points, but the result of what seemed like hours of editing was that nothing changed.  

Cheng Di felt even more anxious than him. “Is there something wrong, boss?!”

“No.” Cheng Chen earnestly said, “I can’t bring myself to do it.” YqMTpl

Chen Di：“……”

Although Xu Nian wasn’t getting any money at the moment, the remaining amount in his account from before was still quite a lot. In addition, the money for Li Fang’s surgery had been prepared early on, so he didn’t have to worry about that. Then the money he had was enough for the daily necessities such as eating and such, so after carefully calculating everything, Xu Nian felt less nervous.  d8qNdM

But Cheng Chen truly was a beautiful man who did not do things the common way. 

Xu Nian came and brought him lunch. Mr. Boss Cheng finished eating and drinking, was satisfied, and so started up with his antics again.

“What’s for dinner?” Cheng Chen asked.  j9ys f

“Whatever you want to eat, I’ll make for you.” Xu Nian said, even-temperedly.  

Cheng Chen hmmphed. “If you’re pursuing me, then shouldn’t you take me out to a more expensive restaurant?”

Xu Nian: “??” DyNXdc

How come he’d never thought of this type of wacky move ?!

Mr Boss Cheng’s leg was shaking as he said, “I’ll give you an opportunity to show off. I’ve already gotten Chen Di to make a reservation at the restaurant.”

Xu Nian：“……”

　　 zvFITn

When Xu Nian came out muddle-headed and carrying the empty lunch box, Chen Di was already waiting outside the door. Chen Di gave him a sticky note, and gave him a heads up, “On average, that restaurant would be 1200 per person, and in addition the boss ordered some 5A beef by air transport, so I suggest you bring more money.”

“And so…….” Xu Nian was so pained his heart was almost dripping blood, “I really am inviting him, huh…..”

Chen Di smugly raised an eyebrow and said, while very obnoxiously making a heart with his hands, “How else would it be~you’re trying to pursue our boss after all~ah~ good luck~I’m cheering you on~~”

Rinrin: HHHHHHH cheering ya on~~ iepFLV
