Pi Xiu created a small temporary group.
Li Fengyu: 【Why did you create another group? Did you forget to add Shen Ge?】
Pi Xiu: 【I don’t want him here!】
Li Fengyu: 【What are you doing behind his back?】
Pi Xiu: 【How long has Tang Shen been in there?】
Liang Chen: 【20 minutes.】
Pi Xiu: 【Aren’t you curious about what they’re talking about?】
Liang Chen: 【Focus on work.】
Li Fengyu: 【Oh, what else is there to talk about? The company’s development plan? The talent recruitment plan?】
Pi Xiu: 【No, you guys didn’t see it just now. When Tang Shen came, his eyes were a little red.】
Li Fengyu: 【He might be tired?】
Pi Xiu: 【…..】
Liang Chen: 【Shen Ge is talking in the company group.】
[Deep Blue Startup Group]
Fu Shen: 【Recently, everyone has been working hard. Tomorrow is a holiday, and the company is organizing a swimming activity. Those who are interested can participate.】
As soon as the notice was released, the group was excited. Those who enjoyed swimming started to think about what swimsuit to wear tomorrow, and those who didn’t like swimming also felt a sense of relaxation both physically and mentally.
Fu Shen may look harmless on the surface, but once he enters work mode, he becomes a ruthless demon king. Except for Pi Xiu and his team, other employees in the company both respect and worship him.
Due to the high-pressure work, combined with the hot weather, everyone was feeling stifled, so they were all excited and thrilled when they saw the notification sent by the Demon King Fu.
Pi Xiu was also surprised, pondering in the small group.
Pi Xiu: 【What’s going on with Shen Ge? Suddenly turning into an angel?】
Li Fengyu: 【Could it be that Tang Shen felt sorry for us when he came to see us this time because he saw how hard we were working? After all, Shen Ge has always listened to Tang Shen’s words.】
Liang Chen: 【…..】
Pi Xiu: 【Tang Shen is so kind! I’ll love Tang Shen for ten thousand years!】
Liang Chen: 【…..】
Pi Xiu: 【Chenzi, what’s wrong with you? Are you speechless just like me?】
Liang Chen: 【The internet you use for the group chat is all funded by Tang Shen.】
Pi Xiu: 【Awoo, awoo, I’m going to work harder to repay Tang Shen~】
[In the Office]
Fu Shen put down his phone, with a smile that couldn’t be suppressed on his lips.
“It’s arranged, they’re all happy.”
Tang Zhou sat in the chair with his legs crossed, deliberately making a sullen face.
“You need to learn how to balance work and rest.”
The blush on his face hadn’t completely faded, and Fu Shen wasn’t scared by him at all. Instead, he found him even more adorable.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll try to work less overtime in the future.”
Tang Zhou: “…Just follow your own pace.”
They’re both ambitious people. Tang Zhou doesn’t even have time to eat when he’s busy, so he has no right to say anything about others.
Fu Shen’s gaze was too intense, and Tang Zhou coughed lightly. “I won’t disturb your work. I’ll go back first.”
Although he was a little reluctant to leave.

After he finished speaking, he felt like he was being a bit forceful, so he softened his tone a little. “But if you have something to do, you can go back first-”
“Your office needs a sofa,” Tang Zhou deliberately changed the subject. “There’s nowhere to sit for guests.”
As he said this, he felt that the office was too small. He couldn’t bear to look at it, and he said generously, “Or why don’t we change it for a bigger one?”
Fu Shen smiled and stroked his hair. “It’s already enough.”
He could change it later after he had made some achievements. However, it was indeed a matter of urgency that the office needed a sofa.
Before, he didn’t need to see guests, so it didn’t matter if there were extra seats or not, but in the future, he wanted to leave a seat for someone.
Tang Zhou pulled his hand away. “You’re too hot.”
Fu Shen sighed. “You like it when the weather is cold, but it’s annoying when it’s hot.”
Tang Zhou: “……”
Thinking of the time he burrowed into Fu Shen’s arms at the Lishan Hotel, the tip of Tang Zhou’s ears blushed as he averted his gaze, acting as if he hadn’t heard Fu Shen’s words.
Fu Shen knew he couldn’t help but tease him, so he then comforted him, “You sit here and rest, I’ll go out and discuss things with them.”
Tang Zhou nodded obediently.
As soon as Fu Shen left, he secretly took out his phone, entered the chat page, and silently recited Fu Shen’s last sentence to him, over and over again.
With each recitation, his smile grew wider.
Love can make people forgetful, but it can also make people remember every single little detail, constantly picking out the sweet moments to feed themselves.
In the past, he didn’t think too much about it, but now he remembers that it seems that Fu Shen, except for the first few times, has always cooked his favorite food every time.
Even the Mr. Fu in his dreams.
That made Tang Zhou sit up straight.
He asked himself, why would the gloomy and cold Mr. Fu in his dreams also take care of his taste?
In his dreams, he and Fu Shen had a hostile relationship, right?
Tang Zhou, who was in love, fell into deep confusion. Until Fu Shen came back to the office after work, he was still staring at his phone in a daze.
“What’s wrong?” Fu Shen didn’t hold back and stroked his head again.
He has always been more mature than his peers, and Tang Zhou could not see any youthfulness in him. He was also more inclined to be dependent on him.
“Why do you like me?” Tang Zhou lowered his eyes, his fingertips picking at his cell phone case. “I-I used to treat you very badly before.”
Fu Shen raised his eyebrows. How did his sweet congee turn into bitter congee in such a short time?
“How did you treat me badly?”
Tang Zhou seriously listed his crimes: “I misunderstood you, bullied you, and exploited you–”
“Only you were willing to invest.” Fu Shen interrupted him, his amber eyes reflecting the young man’s stunned face.
“You were the only one.”
Tang Zhou immediately felt a pang of heartache and guilt. He invested casually and with such prejudice, it wasn’t deserving of such heavy weight.
“You didn’t hate me before?” He opened his eyes, both moist and transparent, and looked straight at Fu Shen.
Fu Shen firmly said: “Not hate, not at all.”
It’s fair to exchange labor for investment funds.
He had seen all sorts of people, encountered all sorts of things, and hit many walls. Tang Zhou’s conditions were harmless to him.
It felt more like a clear spring in the desert, giving him his only hope.
Seeing that Tang Zhou was still blaming himself, Fu Shen bent down and hugged him, his eyes calm and accepting.
“We should go home now.”
Tang Zhou turned his head and saw the setting sun shining brightly outside the window, with cars streaming by. The office outside was already quiet.
“Where are they?”
“They left first.”
Tang Zhou came by car, and Fu Shen took the initiative to take the car keys from him, “I’ll drive.”
“I’ll—”
Fu Shen suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered, “I’d like to drive.”
Tang Zhou: “…”
Although it was a perfectly normal sentence, he interpreted it in such an ambiguous way.
He sat in the passenger seat and didn’t look at Fu Shen again, burying his head in his phone.
Fu Shen, however, had no intention of letting him go.
“When will you leave tomorrow?”
The drive from here to the North District takes at least an hour and a half, so they need to make early preparations.
Tang Zhou’s previous proposal of swimming was just a temporary excuse, but now that he had come to his senses and thought about it carefully, he felt that just swimming would be too much of a waste of the house in the North District.
“Nowadays, companies like to organize group activities such as parties. The place in the North District happens to be a villa, which is quite suitable.”
They can’t just swim for the whole day, can they? Parties are better for enhancing good relationships between everyone.
Fu Shen had heard of parties, but he had never participated in one. However, that didn’t stop him from following Tang Zhou’s words.
“Okay, what do we need to prepare?”
“Ingredients, alcohol, etc. The other utensils are available there.”
“Okay, I’ll go to the supermarket after dinner.”
Tang Zhou suddenly came up with an idea.
“Let’s buy something tonight and go straight there.”
Fu Shen: ?
Tang Zhou blinked. “There’s only one swimming pool, and it’ll be crowded tomorrow.”
But tonight, it was just the two of them.
Fu Shen’s heart skipped a beat, but he was also worried that he might have gotten the wrong idea, so he forcefully suppressed the boiling blood and drove the car home safely.
As they entered the elevator, he couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want to swim tonight?”
Tang Zhou had blurted it out impulsively and was already feeling a little embarrassed. When he asked, he turned his head and coldly said, “If you don’t want to, then forget it.”
“No!” Fu Shen quickly defended himself.
The elevator door opened.
Tang Zhou let out an “oh” and strode out, his lips involuntarily curling up.
Anyway, Fu Shen was behind him and couldn’t see him.
Fu Shen indeed didn’t see it, he was busy sending a message.
Fu Shen: 【Liang Chen, come and organize the people that’s going tomorrow.】
Pi Xiu: 【Shen Ge, you’re not going?!】
Li Fengyu: 【You’re not working again, are you?】
Liang Chen: 【?】
Fu Shen: 【Tomorrow there’ll be swimming activities plus a party, so I need to prepare the ingredients. I’ll go over tonight.】
Pi Xiu: 【Just you and Tang Shen?】
Li Fengyu: 【Party? I can do that!】
Liang Chen: 【Go it.】
Pi Xiu: 【Even if it’s a party, it’s not necessary to go over so early. Shen Ge, are you…】
Fu Shen: 【What?】
Pi Xiu: 【…..】
Li Fengyu: 【Holding his stomach laughing.JPG】
Pi Xiu cried, How could he dare to actually ask that out loud!
Due to the tight schedule in the evening, Fu Shen didn’t have time to make those sweet and sour dishes, so he just simply stir-fried a few home-cooked dishes.
As Tang Zhou ate, his gaze couldn’t help but fall on Fu Shen’s hands.
Those hands he had held before, they were not delicate at all. His fingers were long, but his knuckles were a bit big, and his palms were also covered in calluses.
They were a bit rough.
Tang Zhou: “You must have had a hard time in the past, right?”
Fu Shen looked up and stopped what he was doing. Why was his little sweet porridge rambling again?
“No, I didn’t have a hard time.”
He had seen people who were suffering much more than him, so he didn’t think his life had been that difficult.
Fu Shen never complained about fate. He only wanted to control his destiny.
Seeing that Tang Zhou was still staring at his hands, he couldn’t help but laugh. “I learned to hunt from my grandfather when I was a child. These calluses are from using a bow.”
“Hunting?” Tang Zhou’s eyes widened slightly. He had only seen it on TV.
Fu Shen nodded. “There are many mountains in our area, and there are mountains behind the village. My grandfather often took me to the mountains to hunt for rabbits and other animals.”
The story sounds interesting, but Tang Zhou can also taste a hint of sadness.
He asked, “Can you still hunt in the mountains now?”
“You can still catch some rabbits and chickens,” Fu Shen smiled. “If we have the chance, I’ll take you there.”
“Sure,” Tang Zhou said without hesitation.
Fu Shen held his fist against his lips to hide the smile on his face.
There was a shopping mall near the villa in the northern district. Tang Zhou and Fu Shen drove there, bought the ingredients along the way, and arrived at the villa.
A Chinese-style garden villa, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is unique and elegant.
Fu Shen put the ingredients into the refrigerator and turned to look for Tang Zhou.
He walked through the ancient corridor and saw a pool of blue water at the end of the corridor.
On the clear water surface, a glistening pale figure was swimming continuously, creating a series of elegant and clean water splashes.
Tang Zhou swam to the other side and swam back.
The distant lights reflected on the water, like a field dotted with stars.
A handsome young man emerged from the water with a splash, his arms resting on the pool’s edge. His gaze met with Fu Shen on the long corridor, and he suddenly smiled like a mysterious siren in the sea, easily captivating people, and making them sink.
Fu Shen’s heart was pounding so hard as his legs moved forward involuntarily, step by step, approaching the enchanting water sprite.
His brain was blank, his eyes filled with this person in front of him.
He stopped in front of Tang Zhou and slowly squatted down.
The young man’s eyes were very bright, like a glowing gemstone. Fu Shen couldn’t help but reach out, wanting to touch him.
Tang Zhou scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on his face.
The water droplets rolled down his cheeks, and he vaguely heard Tang Zhou ask:
“Are you coming down to play?”
