You Are Deep in The Stars

Although he felt a little sorry for Aunt Li, Bai Xi found that he preferred the taste of Mr. Han’s food—even if he couldn’t carve carrots into florets or fry fish in the shape of a flower basket.

“Why are you daydreaming again?” Han Zhuo helped him serve the soup and casually reminded him, “The rice is going to go up your nose.”

“I was thinking about what Chunchun said just now,” Bai Xi replied.

Han Zhuo paused, and his first thought was, ‘You should find a girlfriend.’

Bai Xi held his head with one hand and seemed deep in thought. He even ignored the luxurious mushroom soup that Mr. Han placed in front of him, which came with a whole chicken leg.

“Then, what’s the result?” After a few minutes, Han Zhuo finally couldn’t help but speak first.

“I think I really need to think about it,” Bai Xi put down the spoon and looked very serious. “It’s not an option to continue like this, don’t you think so?”

It was quiet in the kitchen.

Han Zhuo said, “Don’t think too much, eat well.”

At this moment, if Gwen sensed the emotions of the upright little beast again, she would find that the relaxation and comfort that filled his heart just now were gone, replaced by deep melancholy, loss, and a trace of sourness—that very adolescent and cute little temper.

The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly.

It wasn’t cold, and there was no traffic. The environment was perfect, but the mood wasn’t.

Bai Xi was sitting in the passenger seat, holding a can of potato chips in his hand, shaking his body playfully.

After five minutes, Han Zhuo finally stopped the car on the side of the road, turned around, and asked him in surprise, “What’s wrong?”

“Did you finally notice me?” Bai Xi was a little amused and put his arms around Han Zhuo’s neck. “Mr. Han, it’s easy to get into an accident if you’re distracted while driving. I’ll deduct your bonus.”

“No.” Han Zhuo shook his head. “I can do two things at once.”

“The point is not to multitask, but you’ve been absent-minded since lunch today.” Bai Xi removed his hands from the steering wheel. “So, something must have happened. Are you really not going to tell me? We agreed before that we can’t hide anything important from each other; otherwise, there will be no meat in the hot pot.”

“On important matters regarding superpowers and underground warehouses, we are not allowed to hide from each other. Now we can also add the third laboratory,” Han Zhuo corrected. “But this matter has nothing to do with them. It is purely my… private life.”

“Private life?” Bai Xi was a little surprised by the answer.

“I’m sorry, but I really don’t want to say it.” Han Zhuo looked at him apologetically. “Just let this matter stay in my heart forever, okay?”

It was quiet in the car.

After a long time, Bai Xi nodded. “Yes.”

“Thank you.” Han Zhuo smiled and said softly, “Let’s go. We are going to be late for the meeting.”

The car merged back into traffic, and the CD player played the same cheerful piano music as before. After arriving at the company, Han Zhuo helped him pick up his coat and computer as usual and took him into the office.

Everything seemed to be the same as before.

In the conference room, the partner pushed over a document. “We think this contract can be revised. The details have been circled. Mr. Bai, please take a look first.”

Bai Xi leaned back in the chair, spinning a pen in his hand, and said, “Oh.”

There was silence.

“Besides these, is there anything else that needs to be changed?” Bai Xi continued to ask. His tone was cold and indifferent, his attitude careless, and his face clearly showed that he was in a bad mood.

The partner wisely took back the contract. “Then let’s discuss it with Mr. Zhao.” Of course, they weren’t afraid of Bai Xi, a young man who had just entered the business world, but they couldn’t ignore the fact that he had Bai Boyang, one of the top figures in the industry, behind him. No one wanted to provoke the big boss.

The meeting ended early. Several female employees were making coffee in the break room, excitedly discussing Mr. Bai’s performance in the meeting. They were captivated by how handsome he was and how effortlessly he handled the situation, causing the opposition to collapse and admit defeat.

“It’s just that the contract has been changed so many times, and they almost lost money and are still not satisfied,” Song Xiaoxiao said. “Mr. Bai has a good temper. If it were me, I would have gone home and complained.”

“You’re not Mr. Bai, but you can chase after Mr. Bai!” Someone immediately smiled and nudged her. “Hey, seriously, do you have any evil intentions?”

“I didn’t. It’s obviously you who has evil intentions towards Mr. Bai!”

“You!”

“You, you, you!”

“Shut up! Oops, someone heard us. Keep your voice down!”
