The Silent Strength of Arden Li Chapter 7

Arden Li had a long dream.

There was a scene in the dream where he was K!ssing Shao Qun. At that time, there was a white light shining down from above, which made him unable to open his eyes.

His body felt very uncomfortable. Sometimes he felt like he was being burned by a raging flame, and sometimes he felt like he had been thrown into an ice cellar. The whole world was spinning, everything had lost its gravity, he had a splitting headache, and his limbs were weak.

Reluctantly opening his tired eyelids, Arden Li stared at the wooden ceiling, stunned. For a moment, I didn't know where I was.

His body was heavy and something was weighing him down making it difficult to breathe. He tried to move his arms, and his body's functions were instantly awakened. The area below his waist felt as if it had been run over by a car, it was painful and numb, especially his lower body, which was burning.

He slowly turned his head, Shao Qun's sleeping face and naked arms were right in front of him, and his even breathing was sprayed directly on his face. At the same time, he felt that he was wearing nothing, and Shao Qun was close to him. The bodies of the group are also naked.

Arden Li's head buzzed, and he felt like his head was going to burst.

He struggled to push Shao Qun's arm across his chest and moved towards the edge of the bed.

Shao Qun slowly opened his eyes, stared at him blankly for two seconds, quickly stood up, yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "Baby, wake up."

Arden Li covered his chest with the quilt, and the blood on his face faded completely, "You...I..."

Shao Qun curled up one corner of his mouth and smiled evilly: "Cheng Xiu, you were so enthusiastic last night, which was beyond my expectation."

Arden Li was stunned: "I...?"

"Yeah, don't you remember?" Shao Qun supported his arms and leaned his upper body towards him, smiling seductively, "Last night was really unforgettable."

Arden Li felt a sharp headache, shook his head, and pointed at him tremblingly: "No... maybe, I, I'm drunk, drunk."

"Well, if you weren't drunk, you probably wouldn't be so bold, but..." Shao Qun leaned over and K!ssed his cheek, "I really hope you get drunk every day."

Arden Li shuddered and pushed him hard.

Shao Qun was unprepared, and his back hit the cabin board directly. It wasn't painful at all, but it was a loud "bang" sound that made people get angry.

Shao Qun frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

Arden Li glared at him angrily: "You, you, I was drunk, you, you did..." The more anxious he became, the harder it was to speak clearly. He wished he could question questions neatly and with force. Shao Qun, what did he do to himself?

Shao Qun, on the other hand, looked normal, "What's wrong? How can two people not do this when they are together?"

"But, I was drunk, I, I didn't...consent."

Shao Qun's expression changed instantly: "Cheng Xiu, what do you mean? Do you mean that I forced you?"

Since the two met, Shao Qun had never lost face with him. As soon as his face sank, Arden Li subconsciously felt nervous. Moreover, he was so calmed by Shao Qun's righteousness that he did not dare to accuse rashly.

Shao Qun said coldly with a sullen face: "Cheng Xiu, I thought we liked each other. Could it be that it was me who was always in love? You don't remember what happened yesterday, how could you punish me when you wake up?"

Arden Li was rendered speechless by Shao Qun's retort, staring blankly at the snow-white quilt, and his shoulders kept shaking.

He was also confused. Shao Qun seemed so righteous. Did he really lose his temper when he was drunk yesterday? However, even so, isn't this taking advantage of others' danger?

He raised his head and said tremblingly: "I, I don't remember, but, I was drunk, you..."

Shao Qun came closer to him, shrouded him in his shadow, and said softly: "Cheng Xiu, you were not like this yesterday. You are much more honest and lovely than you are now. I am a normal man, and I like you, How can I bear it? Cheng Xiu, don't you like me? "

Arden Li's mind was in a mess and he tightened his body, trying to avoid Shao Qun's oppression.

Shao Qun touched his face and said softly: "Cheng Xiu, am I just being sentimental? You obviously like me too, right? In that case, what's wrong with this?"

Arden Li looked at him with confusion in his eyes.

Shao Qun continued to induce: "I know you are too nervous, don't be afraid, relax. If you want to become my person, you have to endure this pain, but you will like it in the future, really."

Arden Li felt flustered and aggrieved, but there was nothing he could say despite all his words. He was not sure at all whether he had lost his temper last night. Shao Qun was so determined and calm that he could not refute a word.

He pushed against Shao Qun's bare chest, but as soon as he pressed it, he felt it was extremely hot and he retracted his hand as if he had been burned.

He stumbled out of bed holding the quilt and said anxiously: "I want to go home."

Shao Qun held his chest and looked at him with a smile.

Arden Li got up from the ground and rushed to the door. But as soon as he opened the door, a gust of sea breeze hit him with a fishy smell. Looking at the endless sea outside the deck, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot.

Shao Qun also jumped out of bed, hugged him from behind, and whispered in his ear: "Baby, we are at sea. I will take you home tomorrow. There will be no outsiders on the boat, so we will treat it as a honeymoon." ,OK?"

Arden Li only felt cold all over. He felt as if he was tightly bound by a coldness from the inside out, covering him in it, sealing off his retreat little by little, leaving him with nowhere to go. escape.

Shao Qun chuckled twice and hugged him sideways: "Let's go take a shower."

Arden Li was silently carried into the bathroom and placed directly in the bathtub.

Just as he was about to stand up, Shao Qun pressed his shoulders back and opened the faucet behind him to start running water.

Arden Li huddled in the huge bathtub with her naked body, raising her chin slightly and looking at Shao Qun with bright eyes. Those eyes were full of surprise and grievance, looking pitiful, and Shao Qun suddenly felt a little unbearable.

He followed suit and stepped into the bathtub. Regardless of Arden Li's dodge, he held him in his arms and poured the warm water over him.

Arden Li's thin back was pressed against Shao Qun's chest. Shao Qun rested his chin on Arden Li's shoulder and said softly: "Cheng Xiu, are you angry with me?"

Arden Li still hugged his knees and buried his head in silence.

Shao Qun leaned close to Arden Li's ear and said with an ambiguous smile: "Let me help you take a bath..."

...

After taking a bath, Arden Li's eyes were red from crying, but Shao Qun was satisfied and even dried his body and hair in a happy mood.

Mr. Ellis was very happy to serve someone for the first time in his life. It was the first time that he knew that it was also very interesting.

After Arden Li was dressed, Shao Qun led him downstairs. Parasols and tables had been placed on the deck. The table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth, decorated with flower candlesticks and exquisite tableware.

Blue sea and sky, bright sunshine, snow-white parasols, swaying tablecloths, bright yellow flowers, everything is gathered together in romance.

Arden Li received Shao Qun's fiery gaze and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Shao Qun led him to the table and sat down, winking at the waiter next to him.

Scenes that could only appear on TV immediately appeared before Arden Li's eyes.

Someone was pouring wine, someone was passing food around, and someone was playing the violin nearby.

Arden Li was stunned.

Shao Qun smiled: "Do you like it?"

Arden Li secretly glanced at the waiter, who looked quite natural, but felt very embarrassed.

If this is a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, it will naturally be pleasing to the eye, but two men...

Shao Qun smiled, looking at Arden Li's shy expression, he felt quite proud of himself.

He knew that this gadget would be absolutely useful to Arden Li. Don't all women like these useless things?

Arden Li may have started to relax, or maybe he was hungry. He no longer tensed himself up, picked up the knife and fork, and started eating in silence.

After dinner, Shao Qun took him fishing and barbecue with great interest. When he was tired, he pulled him into the cabin, held him on his knees and taught him to play Black Jack.

Arden Li was really flattered by such treatment. Shao Qun was even more enthusiastic and gentle than usual. A casual word or action would make him blush and feel his heart beat at a loss.

Moreover, Shao Qun was so open and composed that Arden Li could not question what happened last night for fear that he had wronged him. Wouldn't that be too hurtful? After thinking about it, Arden Li couldn't keep a straight face.

As the day went on, the relationship between the two became increasingly sweet. It was rare for Shao Qun to be so relaxed. Quan Dang took his little //love//er on vacation. Naturally, he was in a good mood. When he was in a good mood, he naturally doted on Arden Li.

Before this, Arden Li had never thought that someone could love him so much. He cautiously followed Shao Qun's steps, cooperated with Shao Qun's closeness, and enjoyed the wonderful feeling of being cared for. He was deeply afraid that if he took a wrong step, he would miss the mark and fall from the clouds.

The yacht returned to Shenzhen Port in the evening. After sending Arden Li downstairs, Shao Qun pressed him on the backrest and K!ssed him hard.

Shao Qun licked his lips: "I really want to be with you tonight, but I have to go and accompany Awen and the others. It's rare for the four of us to be together."

Arden Li was so absorbed in his day that he had long forgotten about those three people. When he reminded them, his expression immediately changed.

Shao Qun pinched his chin: "What's wrong?"

Arden Li shook his head.

"You still remember the past, why are you so small-minded, huh?"

"no..."

Shao Qun pinched his cheek and said, "They are my buddies. You have to love the house and the bird, you know?"

Arden Li thought for a moment and nodded meekly.

"Come on, K!ss me."

Arden Li stepped back embarrassedly: "Just now, it wasn't..."

"Not enough." Shao Qun lifted his chin, lowered his head and K!ssed him again. He K!ssed Arden Li until he was breathless, and then he reluctantly let go.

A new baby is always warm for three days. Shao Qun's fever is getting hotter and hotter. But he can't burn it to his heart's content these two days. Unavoidably, he feels unwilling to do so. He is nostalgic for being separated from Arden Li.

Shao Qun made a phone gesture to him, and then drove away.

He could have continued to rest the next day, but after resting for a long time, Arden Li felt flustered. After all, anyone would be uneasy if he didn't work for free, so he went to work as usual early in the morning.

When he went to the hotel, he found that everyone looked at him differently.

He was irritated by those eyes that contained scrutiny, disdain, suspicion and jealousy.

After all, he hadn't gone to work for two weeks. After changing his clothes, he went to report to Manager Colby.

Manager Colby smiled meaningfully: "Hey, Master Li, you're back to work. How are you doing during this time?"

Even someone as slow as Arden Li could hear the thorn in the words. He stiffened his neck and didn't know how to answer.

"How about it? I've made enough money this time."

After being reminded by him, Arden Li remembered that he had not received any compensation. Based on his current relationship with Shao Qun, he really shouldn't be given any reward, so he naturally forgot about it.

"Anyway, I'm making money from a big house. I took on a private job this time. It's really worth it."

Arden Li suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him: "What...what do you mean."

"Oh, why are you pretending to be with me? I took you to the house. I don't care about your business. Don't be nervous. I'll just ask casually. Then go to work hard when you get back."

Arden Li opened his mouth, but finally said nothing and went back to work.

This day was much harder than any other day.

Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him from time to time, and the gaze was so menacing that it made him terrified.

He didn't know what those looks meant, and he didn't know what others had said about him during the two weeks of missing.

He was already very uneasy because of his shady relationship with Shao Qun, and now these silent suspicions and accusations made him even more flustered.

When he returned home exhausted at night, he used the key to open the door, only to find that the light in the living room was turned on.

He has always been very careful in his life and has never forgotten to turn off the lights.

And...that's not right, he left during the day, how could he turn on the lights.

He was shocked, and just as he was about to rush out the door, someone suddenly walked in outside the balcony.

Arden Li took a look and saw that it was Shao Qun, holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking at him with a smile.

Arden Li felt an inexplicable anger in his heart: "You, why do you have a key?"

Shao Qun squinted his eyes and took a puff of cigarette, slowly spread his hands and said with a smile: "This is my house, why don't I have a key?"

Arden Li didn't know how to refute, but he felt really uncomfortable, especially after thinking about what Manager Colby said today.

Shao Qun threw the cigarette into the ashtray, walked towards him, leaned over and K!ssed his face: "Why are you keeping your phone turned off today?"

"Turn off your phone when you go to work."

"Do you get off work so late every day?" Shao Qun looked at his watch. It was almost eleven o'clock.

"No, there are morning and evening shifts."

"I've been waiting for you until now."

Arden Li looked at him in surprise: "Are you waiting for me?"

"Of course, I wanted to have dinner with you, but you just came back now."

"Did you have meal?"

"What do you think?" Shao Qun pointed at the dial.

Arden Li raised the plastic bag in his hand: "I have packed meals."

Shao Qun frowned and said, "You want me to eat other people's leftovers?"

Arden Li smiled slightly: "I'll cook for you."

"No need." Shao Qun went up and hugged his waist, "I've already eaten." He leaned into Arden Li's neck and smelled it, then frowned and said, "It smells like oil smoke again, so hurry up and take a shower."

Arden Li pushed him away embarrassedly, turned around and rushed to the bathroom.

Shao Qun took his arm: "Wait, I'll wash with you."

Arden Li's face turned red immediately: "Not good..."

"It's not like he hasn't been washed." Shao Qun dragged him into the bathroom, squinting his eyes and threatening, "Don't run, just stay here. I haven't planned to do anything yet. If you move around, I won't guarantee it." "

After the two of them took a shower, Shao Qun took out his pajamas from the closet in the bedroom and put them on. The bathroom was filled with bottles and jars that Arden Li had never seen before. Everything seemed as natural as if this was Shao Qun's home. Same.

Arden Li was stunned, standing on the edge of the bed and looking at Shao Qun who was lying comfortably on the big bed.

Shao Qun stretched out his hand towards him: "It's already past eleven o'clock. If you're not tired, come up."

"you..."

"What's wrong?"

Arden Li was silent.

Shao Qun took it so naturally that he didn't even need to ask his opinion when staying overnight.

This is indeed his house, but what did he say at the time? He rented this to his boss, who used it as a staff dormitory for him. How could he come in and stay whenever he wanted?

He felt a little sad. As he grew up, he had become accustomed to anyone's disrespect for him, but this period of getting along with him made him think that Shao Qun was different, and made him think that he was different too. Unexpectedly, nothing changed.

Shao Qun stood up and pulled him onto the bed, looking at his sad expression: "What's wrong?"

Arden Li shook his head and lay down, touching the pillow. He was used to being patient and didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Shao Qun because of these things.

Shao Qun covered the two of them with the quilt, hugged him in his arms, and rubbed his neck with his cheek.

His intimacy made Arden Li feel more comforted and relaxed. He touched Shao Qun's hair and whispered, "It's still a little wet."

"It's okay, I'll be done in a moment."

"Blow again?"

"No need." Shao Qun grabbed his hand and K!ssed it: "Cheng Xiu, I want to tell you something."

"Um."

"You should quit your job."

"ah?"

"What's there to do in that kind of job? It's dirty and tiring. If you follow me, you don't need to work. Just quit."

Arden Li broke away from his arms, stood up, and looked at him in disbelief with bright eyes.

Shao Qun was still minding his own business and said, "Instead of working so hard every day, why not take care of me at home? If you don't feel comfortable talking to your boss, I'll do it."

"No." Arden Li said tremblingly, "No, resign."

Shao Qun also stood up and frowned: "What can't be done? There will be a lack of a cook?"

"This is my job."

"Is it interesting for you to earn two to three thousand yuan a month? If I ask you to resign, I won't treat you badly. Is it enough to give you fifty thousand yuan a month?"

"Shao Qun!" Arden Li rarely raised his voice, and his eyes were red with anger, "Shao Qun, I don't need it, you take care of me, I'm not, not that kind of... you don't need to take care of me!" The more impatient he became, his tongue Just tie it straight.

He felt as if he had been slapped in the street, embarrassed and angry.

What does Shao Qun take him for? With this attitude, doesn't it cost money to support him?

He had only heard that it was not easy for girls to live //   and be raised by rich men. He was a man and he could support himself well. How could Shao Qun insult him like this?

What saddens him the most is that he always thought that he and Shao Qun were in love and were in free love.

Shao Qun saw that his eyes were red like a rabbit, and he was quite puzzled: "What's going on with you? I can make you live a very good life, you don't have to work, you can only enjoy it. It's better than you getting up early and working hard to earn that little money." All right?"

Arden Li was so angry that her body was shaking: "I am not a woman. I can support myself."

Shao Qun was quite disdainful. In his opinion, it was a joke for people like Arden Li to talk about ambition and dignity with him. He would not think that he would be more like a man by doing this, but would only think that he was ignorant of current affairs.

However, after being together for a few months, he had already figured out Arden Li's temper, and he was willing to accept the soft and not the tough.

Shao Qun immediately softened his attitude and said softly: "Cheng Xiu, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. You go out early and come back late every day. I feel sad when I see you. I just want you to live a better life. I miss you more every day." Everybody can see you."

When Shao Qun said this, Arden Li immediately softened and said softly: "I, but I, have to work."

"Okay, you work. If you don't want to resign, forget it. But I'm alone in Shenzhen. I have no relatives or friends. I don't even have anyone to take care of me."

Arden Li frowned and thought for a while: "I can, adjust the shift, try to work as early as possible."

"What's the difference?"

"Okay, I'll make you breakfast and dinner."

Shao Qun smiled: "Really?"

"Um."

"Then I'll talk to your boss and adjust them to morning shifts."

"no."

"What's wrong?"

Arden Li hesitated and said, "Colleagues will be dissatisfied."

Shao Qun sighed impatiently. It was the first time in his life that he didn't dare to pick up a pie falling from the sky. How could he sing like this? Play hard to get.

His mind turned around and he had an idea in his mind. Since he couldn't persuade him to resign, he should let him resign automatically. He hugged Arden Li's waist and lay down: "Okay, let's talk about this tomorrow and go to bed."

Shao Qun rarely sleeps with his lover. The one who lives in Beijing keeps asking him for this and that in every possible way. The one in Hangzhou won't let him go if he catches him. Annoying, he is so fed up now that he is planning to break up with them. Anyway, he will stay in Shenzhen in the short term.

Arden Li is different. At least it's comfortable to stay with him now. He's not noisy or fussy, and he's quite easy to coax. Tired of tasting either monster or hot, he now began to like this docile and well-behaved one. Holding Arden Li to sleep was like holding a cat, soft and warm, and would not move around.

When Shao Qun woke up the next morning, Arden Li no longer knew when he left.

When he got up, he saw that his clothes were neatly folded and placed at the head of the bed. The edge of the sink in the bathroom was wiped clean without a drop of water. The breakfast on the table was covered with a cover and was still hot when he opened it. , even the tableware is arranged neatly.

Shao Qun felt refreshed and sneered, "Aren't you born to serve men?"

After finishing the meal, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Hey, Manager Colby, it's me, um, you or you, that's it. I want to trouble you with something privately."

Arden Li began to feel that life in the hotel was becoming increasingly difficult.

Ever since he came back after taking over Shao Qun's job, everyone's attitude seemed to have changed, treating him with contempt and hostility.

Needless to say, several chefs would sneer at him when they saw him, but even the apprentices below him began to make things difficult for him, which directly affected his work.

While he was cooking, he heard a cool voice from behind: "Hey, look at this small waist. If I have such a figure, do you think the big boss is looking for me?"

Everyone around him laughed.

Arden Li paused, and his face instantly turned pale.

The waiter washing vegetables next to me laughed and said, "You're not gay, how do you know what gays like? It doesn't matter how thin your waist is."

"That's right, what's the point of having a thin waist? You have to have thin skin and tender flesh, and you have to be feminine, just like our Master Li, right?"

The crowd laughed unbridled behind Arden Li.

Arden Li almost lost his grip on the spatula in his hand. He slowly turned around and whispered, "You guys, don't talk nonsense."

"Just kidding, what did we say?"

"Master Li, we are joking, but if something really happens, don't hide it from us. We are all colleagues. We have been together for so long, why do we need to see each other outside?"

"That's right, society is very open now, and we won't discriminate against gays."

"Gays are human beings too, and they have to date, but being able to date a big boss is like a female star marrying into a wealthy family. It saves a lot of effort."

"Why don't I go stir things up?"

"Hahahaha, you're so thick, gays won't like it."

Arden Li managed to steady his trembling hands, turned around, forced himself to ignore the words behind him, and stirred the vegetables in the pot silently.

The days at work seem like years.

Just after the dinner rush hour, he was called to the office by Manager Colby.

"Sit." Manager Colby pointed to the chair.

Arden Li sat down nervously, wringing his fingers unconsciously.

"Xiao Li, there have been some rumors in the hotel recently."

Arden Li nodded stiffly.

"Actually, there's nothing much to say about you and Mr. Ellis. Anyone with a brain can't guess it, right?"

Arden Li didn't raise his eyes and still nodded.

If someone hadn't said something, he wouldn't have believed that the people in the hotel would think so far just because he took a private job. The only person who would doubt his relationship with Shao Qun was Manager Colby who sent him to that house. It was very clear who spread the rumors, but what could he say?

"Although the social atmosphere is very open now, this kind of thing will have a bad impact after all, do you understand?"

Arden Li raised his face and said sadly: "What do you think of me?"

He is not good at lying, and he cannot say that there is nothing like this between him and Shao Qun. If Manager Colby is deliberately trying to make things difficult for him, he will do nothing wrong.

Manager Colby said: "How dare I do anything to you? You have a deep relationship with Mr. Ellis now, and the boss appreciates you very much. Logically speaking, it's really not my turn to tell you this. But, after all, I With so many people in charge, I have to pay close attention to employees’ moods and motivations. This incident obviously made the male employees in our hotel very uneasy. I’m afraid that this kind of emotion will affect the work. Isn’t this a dereliction of duty on my part? , do you think so, can you understand me? "

Arden Li only felt that his nose was sore, but he still nodded.

"I called you here just because I hope you can try to be more careful in the future and not get too close to male employees, and don't rely on your relationship with Mr. Ellis to do something special and neglect your work. I am a department manager, and I I can't force you to resign, but I hope you can be considerate and considerate of me and try to make my work smoother, okay?"

Arden Li couldn't sit still anymore and stood up from the chair. His trembling hands clenched into fists behind his back.

Manager Colby glanced at him and waved his hand: "Okay, you can go back and do your work."

Arden Li turned around and walked out the door without saying a word.

"Oh, that's right." Manager Colby said behind him, "From now on, you will have one night shift every week, and your rest days will be increased to two days. Look, can I refuse what Mr. Ellis said, but what do you want me to do?" To appease the emotions of other employees? Xiao Li, it’s really embarrassing for me to have you here.”

Arden Li was walking home that day.

The hotel was not far from where he lived, and it only took ten or twenty minutes to walk. He didn't know if Shao Qun was there now, and he didn't want to turn on his cell phone. He just wanted to be alone to think.

Manager Colby made the point, and the deaf man knew that he was driving him away.

But he really doesn't want to resign, how can he resign?

He has been working in this hotel for nearly six years. His five social insurances and one housing fund are all paid by the hotel. His salary is increasing every year. In a few more years, he will be able to have his own apprentice. By then, the hotel may even give him shares. He has worked hard to achieve what he has today, and he doesn't want to give up.

Besides, if he resigns, will he be able to find a good job in the short term? What about the debt he owes?

But can he still survive there? Thinking of the scenes in the hotel during the day, he felt chilled.

He is just keeping company with one person, is that so shameful?

After returning home, I found that Shao Qun had not come.

After taking a shower, he lay down on the bed with his tired body, and then turned on his mobile phone.

A text message popped up on the phone immediately.

Three simple words: I miss you.

Arden Li thought of the first mobile phone Shao Qun bought him when he was a child. The two of them often exchanged boring words, but no matter how boring they were, they still felt very sweet.

A warm current surged into his heart, and he replied seriously with four words: I miss you too.

The phone call came immediately, and Shao Qun's magnetic voice rang in his ears: "Baby, are you off work?"

"Um."

"You must be very tired."

"tired."

"I won't go there today. You should have a good rest."

"Okay...Shao Qun."

"Um?"

"You, give me, changed your shift?"

"Yes, I don't want you to be too tired. Don't you want to spend more time with me?"

Arden Li hesitated and said, "I thought, but..."

"No, but it's all set. Let's just settle it. You will work the morning shift tomorrow and cook for me in the evening, okay?"

"...good."

After hanging up the phone, Arden Li felt better.

Shao Qun's voice was really nice, he thought, and after listening to it, a lot of the blockages in his heart seemed to clear up.

Even if he might lose his job, it would still be worth it to have Shao Qun as his company.

Arden Li finished the morning shift the next day and came back in the afternoon.

He went to the market to buy some fresh fish and planned to make a good meal for Shao Qun.

In fact, it would be better to switch to the morning shift. Now he is frightened when he goes to work, wishing he could go early and come back early.

He also felt quite uncomfortable when he thought about what Shao Qun said that day that no one was here to take care of him. He knew that people like Shao Qun had been pampered since childhood. It was definitely not easy to do business alone in other places. It was unhygienic and unhealthy to always eat out. Now that he had more time, he wanted to take good care of him.

When cooking in the evening, he always focused on light food. He didn't include anything that Shao Qun was taboo about, and cooked seven dishes in different ways.

In normal times, he would never cook so much food, and it would definitely be wasted if he couldn't finish it. Now, even if he has leftovers in the next two days, he hopes to let Shao Qun eat more.

After he finished cooking, he started to clean up the house, making it clean inside and out, and couldn't find anything that was an eyesore.

But by seven o'clock, Shao Qun still didn't come.

Arden Li couldn't help but make a call. The phone kept ringing, but no one answered, and he felt a little anxious.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Arden Li jumped up, turned on the light, and ran to open the door.

Standing at the door was a strange man, wearing black-framed glasses and a crisp shirt and trousers, with a calm and capable temperament.

Arden Li looked at him speechlessly.

The man nodded politely, looking serious: "Hello, Mr. Li, I am Mr. Ellis's assistant, my last name is Zhou."

"Oh, Hello."

Arden Li let him into the room, only to find that he was dragging a suitcase in his hand. Another person came behind him and pushed in a rack full of clothes like those in a clothing store. Arden Li took a closer look and saw a row of clothes on it. There is a row of various suits, mainly black and gray, with the corners straightened and each covered with a hard transparent bag.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Ellis has something to do and can't come over today. He asked me to send some of his daily necessities and a change of clothes to you."

Arden Li stared at the stainless steel shelf blankly and nodded.

Assistant Zhou stood the suitcase in the center of the living room: "Mr. Li, these are things that Mr. Ellis is used to using. Please arrange them for him." Then he directed the man pushing the shelf, "Put these clothes away." Hang it in the closet, and be careful not to mess up the order of colors, from light to dark. "

Arden Li stood aside and watched in silence as Assistant Zhou and his entourage walked around the room, leaving light gray footprints on the floor he had just mopped.

After all the clothes were placed, Assistant Zhou took out a folder from his briefcase and handed it to Arden Li, "Mr. Li, as Mr. Ellis's assistant, I have the responsibility to ensure that his life is stable and orderly, so that he can Focus more on work. This document collects most of Mr. Ellis’s living habits and precautions, including his taboo foods, taboo things, work and rest habits, etc. Mr. Ellis will stay here in the future. The time will be greatly increased. I hope this will help you to be more harmonious and happy in life. "

Arden Li took the soft-covered folder with a dull face. It was just a few pieces of paper, but he felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

Assistant Zhou continued with a straight face: "Mr. Ellis may or may not come over tonight. Mr. Li can make a phone call to confirm whether he needs to make preparations in advance."

After that he left.

Assistant Zhou behaved very politely and appropriately during the whole process, but Arden Li felt like she had been slapped several times.

He didn't know if he was too sensitive, or if it was really as he thought, was this person named Zhou thinking of him as Shao Qun's mistress?

He tremblingly crumpled the folder in his hand into a ball, turned around and threw it into the trash can.

He fell tiredly on the sofa, looked at the suitcase standing alone in the center of the living room, and then looked at the table of exquisite meals, feeling sour in his heart.

He was a little confused and didn't know if what he was doing was right. He knew that Shao Qun was not the right person to live with him, but he couldn't help being attracted. This was just the beginning, and it made him full of doubts. What about the future.

Arden Li didn't dare to think about it anymore. He felt that Shao Qun was leading him now. He didn't have to stop and think about the turn to do what he wanted. He had no other choice but to take one step at a time and watch one step at a time.

Arden Li stood up and put all the dishes on the table into the refrigerator without touching a bite.

Then he packed Shao Qun's suitcase and put the contents into the bedroom and bathroom.

After finishing his work, he looked at his watch and saw that it was already past ten o'clock. He stared at the screen of his mobile phone for a long time, hesitating and hesitating, and then sent a text message to Shao Qun: Are you still busy?

After lying on the bed and waiting for a long time, there was no response. Arden Li felt very disappointed and fell asleep without knowing it.

Sleeping until midnight, he suddenly felt something heavy pressing on him and it was very hot.

Arden Li slowly opened his eyes and felt a dark shadow behind him. He was sleeping in a daze and didn't react. He immediately screamed and struggled to get up.

Shao Qun grabbed his waist and whispered, "It's me."

Arden Li immediately felt at ease and carefully curled up into his arms.

"I'm so busy today, I'm exhausted."

Arden Li couldn't help but frowned when she smelled the pungent smell of alcohol and cigarettes on his body.

Shao Qun's cold hands reached directly into his pajamas and stroked his chest in the darkness.

Arden Li hunched up, he still couldn't adapt to this kind of intimacy.

Shao Qun touched it for a while, then moved his hand down to pull his baggy pajamas.

Arden Li was shocked and wanted to push him away: "Shao Qun, don't..."

Shao Qun breathed heavily and spoke a little unclearly, and said impatiently: "How long do you want me to endure it?"

After drinking, Shao Qun was so eager, without any of his usual thoughtfulness, which frightened him.

Shao Qun turned over and pinned him down, and said angrily: "What the hell is wrong with you? It's not like you haven't done it before."

Arden Li stared with bright eyes and whispered: "You are drunk."

"I'm not drunk, I'm more than capable of Fcuking you." She said, going to break his thigh.

Arden Li screamed in fright, huddled up into a ball, and used his hands and feet to resist Shao Qun's attack.

Although Shao Qun was not completely drunk, he was indeed high and could not use his hands and feet very well. As soon as Arden Li struggled, his eyes were blurred, and even after a long time, he couldn't catch him. He was so angry that he said "Fcuk". He got out of bed with his shaking body, slammed the door and left.

Arden Li was frightened by the loud bang and shook violently. He stayed silent in the darkness for a long time before tremblingly putting his clothes back together.

He remembered that Shao Qun was still wearing his coat and didn't even take off his leather shoes. He entered the door and ran directly to the bed.

If you are so careless, what do you think of him...

He got out of bed and turned on the light. He looked at the wrinkled sheets with several obvious shoe prints on them. He felt his nose was sore and his vision was a little blurry.

The next day was the evening shift, but he turned off his cell phone early in the morning. He didn't know what to say if Shao Qun called.

The time spent in the hotel was still miserable every second. His colleagues became more and more disgusted and disdainful towards him. Male colleagues even walked away from him when they saw him. All kinds of unsavory rumors spread throughout the hotel.

Manager Colby now wants to talk to him every other day, and his words become more and more serious, making him feel that it is shameless for him to stay here.

Arden Li felt physically and mentally exhausted. The pressure was so great that he couldn't even eat. He began to consider whether he should really resign.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when he got off work, so he went out through the back door of the hotel.

From here to the bus stop, you have to pass through the hotel's leisure area. This sea view hotel covers an area of   more than 100 acres, with two swimming pools and several hot spring pools. The entire leisure area is filled with lush tropical plants. It is very difficult to recognize at night. At first glance, it is full of green space, flowers, trees, and grass. It's impossible to tell how many people are hiding inside.

When Arden Li passed through this area, he was blocked by several hotel workers in a hidden corner of the third guest room building.

Arden Li had never seen such a posture before, and he shrank his neck in fear.

He didn't expect that at this age, something like this could still happen. Isn't this something only middle school students can do? Coastal cities have always been open, but they couldn't tolerate him, and he didn't even know these people.

The leader looked him up and down with disdain: "Master Li, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

These people are not regular employees of the hotel. They earn fixed salaries and do all kinds of chores. As long as they have money, they will do anything. Arden Li was heartbroken. Why did Manager Colby have to force him like this.

"What do you want to do?"

"Talk to you."

"I don't know you."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know us. Who doesn't know you in the hotel now? Master Li, you are already with the rich, why are you still here to join in the fun? You might as well go home and enjoy your life."

"Don't...don't talk nonsense."

"What nonsense are we talking about? Who doesn't know about this? The area where you wait for the bus every day is a high-end community. I heard that one square meter costs more than 60,000 yuan. If you weren't next to the big boss, you would live there. Can you afford it? Why are you pretending? There are many people in the hotel who take that bus every day and have watched you. "

"Hey, why didn't this big boss assign you a driver, hahaha."

Arden Li's face was livid, he held the plastic bag in front of his chest and was about to rush out with his head buried in the air.

The person standing closest to him pushed his shoulders and pushed him against the wall.

Arden Li was trembling all over and looked at the people surrounding him in horror.

"Arden Li, I won't talk nonsense to you. Do you understand that you are blocking other people's way here? If your life is so good, why don't you come out to earn a living with others. The head chef will retire next year, and many people are better than you. It's appropriate, you understand? What's the point of asking for it? Others have to rely on it to support their families. You should be aware of the current situation, save some face for yourself, and get out of here. "

Arden Li gasped quickly and mustered up the courage to say: "Why...why..."

"Why?" The man grabbed Arden Li's collar and waved his fist, "How long do you want to keep doing it? You have to give me a toast if you don't eat, right?"

Arden Li shrank his neck and looked at the fist in front of him, and all the blood on his face suddenly disappeared.

"What the hell are you doing? Let him go."

A cold voice suddenly broke in from behind everyone. Arden Li's eyes heated up when he heard this familiar voice.

Shao Qun walked over with a frown and looked at Arden Li who was surrounded by him: "What's going on?"

He had just walked from the parking lot and was about to go into the hotel to pick him up. Halfway through, he saw a few people surrounding him downstairs. When he got closer, he saw that it was indeed him.

He asked Colby to find a way to drive away Arden Li, but he didn't ask him to find a group of 250 people to fight with him. This is stupid.

Several people turned around and didn't recognize him. They thought he was a guest and said angrily: "Sir, this is none of your business. Don't interfere."

Shao Qun cursed, pointed at his nose and said, "Get out of here."

The man let go of Arden Li and looked at him sideways: "Who the hell are you, looking for trouble?"

Under Manager Colby's instructions, these people have become bolder. In normal times, they would never dare to offend the guests here casually.

Arden Li huddled in the corner and looked worriedly at Shao Qun, who was surrounded by several people.

Shao Qun's eyes were filled with fierceness.

Although he now wears the appearance of a noble son and a young elite, the violent and ferocious nature in his heart is only lightly covered up. The little gangster leader who has been competitive and aggressive since he was a child has not changed much, but most of his energy has been vented on the conquest of the shopping mall. Now these people have inspired the anger that he has not felt for a long time.

Shao Qun started to pull open his tie, then raised his foot and kicked the person in front of him hard in the stomach.

Before the man had time to scream, he was kicked more than a meter away, and he knelt on the ground with his stomach in his hands and retched.

Several people around him were stunned for a moment, then immediately came to their senses and rushed towards Shao Qun together.

Arden Li was anxious: "Shao Qun! Shao Qun!"

The situation quickly got out of control. Four or five people surrounded Shao Qun and beat him. Shao Qun was full of violence and his fists were unambiguous. He hit him accurately. If he was touched by him, he would definitely not be able to stand up for a long time.

Arden Li wanted to help Shao Qun, but he didn't even have the courage to step into the chaotic battle circle. The feeling of those hard fists hitting his body made his legs weak just thinking about it.

The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of others. After a burst of noise, Manager Colby ran over with several security guards.

When Manager Colby saw Shao Qun, who was disheveled and had blood on his mouth, his face turned pale with fright.

"Oh, Mr. Ellis! Mr. Ellis! What, what is going on, what is going on!"

Shao Qun glared at him and snorted from his nose.

Manager Colby was so frightened that he kept apologizing to Shao Qun.

Shao Qun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hand to Arden Li: "Come here."

Arden Li was trembling against the wall. When he saw Shao Qun calling him, he quickly ran over and grabbed his arm. He choked and asked, "How are you, Shao Qun..."

Shao Qun put his arm around his shoulders: "It's okay, let's go home and talk."

Arden Li cried as soon as he sat in the car: "Shao Qun..."

"Why are you crying? It's okay."

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. When I was in England, I fought with those foreign brats every day. That's called ruthlessness. These idiots are nothing."

Shao Qun started the car and drove directly back to where Arden Li lived.

As soon as he entered the room, Arden Li searched the room for the medicine box and wiped the corners of his mouth with cotton dipped in alcohol.

Shao Qun touched the corners of his eyes: "Don't cry, it's okay."

The feeling of being worried is not bad at all, and Arden Li's crying look is not so annoying to him today.

"sorry."

"What did you say to me that you're sorry for?" Shao Qun paused: "I drank too much yesterday, and I want to tell you that I'm sorry."

Arden Li looked at Shao Qun's swollen half of his face, and he felt guilty enough. When Shao Qun said this, he felt guilty and moved, and tears flowed down.

Shao Qun held his face and K!ssed him gently.

Arden Li looked at him quietly.

"Cheng Xiu, I'm a normal man, I can't help it, can you understand?"

Arden Li nodded.

Shao Qun came up to lick his tears and slowly pushed him down on the sofa.

It was worth it today, Shao Qun thought proudly as he took off Arden Li's clothes.

Arden Li shrank up and pointed to the floor-to-ceiling windows behind them: "Curtains..."

Shao Qun turned a deaf ear and put his hand around his waist to pull off the only underwear he had on.

Arden Li was as red as a ripe shrimp, from head to toe.

"Shao Qun, window..."

Shao Qun lowered his head and blocked his mouth.

Arden Li's body sank into the off-white leather sofa. The shame of his naked body made him subconsciously want to curl up into a ball, but Shao Qun pressed his hands and pushed them away with his knees. His legs, kneeling between his legs.

Arden Li was breathless from his K!ss. He was not familiar with how to respond to the K!ss skillfully, so he could only accept Shao Qun's plunder stiffly, not even daring to move his neck.

When Shao Qun had finished K!ssing and let him go, he still didn't forget that they were in the living room and whispered: "Not here."

Shao Qun smiled and said, "We have to do it here. The light here is good. I want to take a good look at you, and you have to take a good look at me."

Arden Li covered his eyes with his hands and trembled: "What are you looking at?"

Shao Qun smiled briskly and said, "Look at your first man."

Shao Qun removed Arden Li's hand from his eyes, and looked straight into his evasive eyes with a pair of lustful eyes, capturing his shyness and fear with interest.

Arden Li turned his neck, his eyelashes trembling rapidly, his eyes looking at the bright tiles on the floor, his white neck stretched straight, and his protruding Adam's apple sliding up and down.

Shao Qun lowered his head and bit his neck, half joking and half threatening: "Wait for me, don't move. If you dare to move, I will carry you to the balcony and have S3x with you."

Arden Li closed his eyes tightly.

Such a night is destined to be sleepless.

Shao Qun personally called Boss Fletcher the next day and helped Arden Li resign.

Boss Fletcher apologized profusely on the phone and said that he had fired those few people and Manager Colby. Shao Qun hummed a few words and was noncommittal.

Putting down the phone and looking at Arden Li's disappointed expression, Shao Qun was very happy.

From now on, Arden Li only needs to stay at home so that he can find someone whenever he needs him.

Shao Qun smiled and said, "You've been busy for so long. It's rare that you can take a break. Please stay for a while."

Arden Li nodded: "I'll rest for a few days, and then look for a job."

The smile on Shao Qun's face froze: "Let's talk about this later. It's not that easy to find a job."

"Yes." Arden Li sighed, "I'll go to other hotels and ask."

Shao Qun nodded perfunctorily, thinking that he must not be used anywhere.

He took out a large envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Arden Li.

Arden Li took the heavy envelope and looked at him doubtfully.

Shao Qun raised his chin: "Your reward."

Arden Li looked at the envelope in his hand in surprise. It was so thick. How much did it cost?

"Too many." Arden Li murmured.

Shao Qun sneered: "You deserve it, take it."

Arden Li hesitated for a moment, then took it and smiled shyly: "Thank you."

This little daughter-in-law's expression made Shao Qun feel itchy again. He hugged Arden Li and rolled directly onto the bed.

The two people's cohabitation life has officially begun.

After Arden Li submitted several resumes but received no response, he could only stay at home.

He has no friends and doesn't know how to surf the Internet. When he has free time, he can only stare at the TV in a daze, but he doesn't actually get much in it.

Although he doesn't talk much, Shao Qun is the only person he can talk to, and he still hopes to see him every day.

But Shao Qun didn't live here very long, only three or four days a week. The rest of the time, he didn't know where Shao Qun was, and he didn't feel it was convenient for him to ask. After all, Shao Qun had to work, and it was impossible to stay with him at home every day.

Shao Qun is always busy. He often says he wants to come back for dinner, but he will innocently miss the appointment and won't even make a phone call. The meal he cooked for him goes to waste. He has no choice but to eat leftovers every day.

Similarly, when Shao Qun was coming, he would rarely notify him. He would come as soon as he said he was coming, and he would stay for a long or short time, but at night he would just have to drag him to do that.

He was somewhat repelled by that kind of thing, but Shao Qun was very enthusiastic, so he could only cooperate.

He vaguely felt that his relationship with Shao Qun was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He felt that Shao Qun was very kind to him. He often praised him for the delicious food he cooked and the cleanliness of his house. When the two of them slept together, Shao Qun would say things that made people blush and make their hearts beat. He felt that Shao Qun liked him very much.

He was flattered that someone liked him, and he was such an outstanding person as Shao Qun.

After he resigned, he still lived in Shao Qun's house. Shao Qun was still very kind to him, so he wanted to repay him twice as much. As long as Shao Qun comes, he will be taken care of in every possible way. He couldn't speak and didn't dare to actively express any love. He could only treat Shao Qun in his own way.

It's just that such days don't last long. Arden Li is also willing to take care of Shao Qun all the time, but he cannot live without a job.

In order to compensate for the house where he lived in Shao Qun, he had to bear all the living expenses for more than two months. He did not touch any of the money Shao Qun left at home.

He has very little savings, and he has to pay off debts every month and also have to eat to live. If he doesn't work, he won't be able to survive for long.

But he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find a job now. He submitted dozens of resumes, but few responded. Even if he heard back from time to time, none of them got through in the end.

In the end, he finally couldn't sit still and decided to give up big hotels and restaurants and find some small restaurants. Although the salary and benefits were definitely not as good as those in big hotels, it was better than sitting around and living in vain.

So he started to get busy again, running to the city to look for work every day during the day.

But this incident caused Shao Qun's dissatisfaction.

He couldn't make the whole city listen to him without Arden Li. He finally found a job and started to be busy again.

What bothered Shao Qun the most was that Arden Li came back every day covered in oil fumes, with very white hands and the smell of garlic between his fingernails. He wanted to hold him to rest after a tiring day, but the smell was really disappointing.

In Shao Qun's life, career is used to realize self-worth, money is used to enjoy, and bed//partner is used to have fun after busy work.

He considers himself to be a good lover, generous and affectionate, and he has no strict requirements for his bed partner. He is pleasing to the eye, clean and not sick, and well-behaved and obedient.

Shao Qun decided to talk to Arden Li. He was quite interested in him. Arden Li was a rare and considerate person. He was so gentle and obedient that even a woman could not compare with him. Except for the fact that he had to sell cheap labor, he was really stupid. Besides, Arden Li is the most satisfying one he has ever raised, and he doesn’t want to give up yet.

If Arden Li could just stay at home, everything would be perfect. He felt that he could pamper him for a long time. Not to mention the trouble, the key was that it was unhygienic.
