The Young Man's Life Chapter 7

Cohabitation life officially begins.

Alex Ye went from sleeping until 7:30 every morning to being woken up by Liam Wen half an hour earlier. They had breakfast together, took the subway together, and went to the company together.

Although the decision was made hastily at first, the result was better than Alex Ye had expected. With You Ethan there, he didn't need an alarm clock, didn't have to worry about being late for work, and could even have a hot breakfast when he woke up in the morning.

For the first time, Alex Ye realized the convenience of living together with someone. He arrived at the company early for two consecutive days and was almost suspected by Emma Sha of having been stimulated by something.

He wasn't very busy these two days, so Daniel Liang would occasionally invite him to the company cafeteria for lunch.

Their publishing house is not located in an office building, but a stand-alone building. The cafeteria is on the third floor of the company. It was not too late when we went there, and the dining area was full of people.

As soon as he walked in, Alex Ye saw Liam Wen sitting by the window on the left, sitting at the same table with several colleagues from the magazine department. The colleagues were chatting about something interesting and laughing. Liam Wen was eating silently, with the same indifferent look as usual, and no expression on his face.

After he came in, Liam Wen opened his eyelids, looked through the crowd, and looked over. When he saw him, the other people at the table also noticed him, raised their hands and greeted them with a smile.

"Editor-in-Chief Ye."

"Editor-in-Chief Liang."

"Would you like to sit here?"

Alex Ye raised his hand and gave a faint smile, "No need, you guys eat first."

He withdrew his gaze from Liam Wen and continued walking forward with Daniel Liang until they reached the cafeteria window in front.

Even after walking away, I could still vaguely hear my colleagues chatting.

"Editor Ye looks so handsome in this suit today."

"The one from yesterday was also very nice."

"Yeah, yeah, Editor-in-Chief Ye looks handsome in anything he wears."

Liam Wen: "Yeah."

Facing Liam Wen's sudden words, the other colleagues all said, "Huh?"

"Did Liam Wen notice that, too?"

"I thought Ethan didn't care about these things."

"Does Ethan think so too?"

Liam Wen still had a stern expression on his face, and said calmly: "It's not a feeling, it's a fact."

Alex Ye didn't hear the rest of the conversation. He and Daniel Liang ordered their meals, took their trays and found a seat for two. It was past the peak dining time and people around them started leaving their seats one after another.

Alex Ye sat opposite Daniel Liang, poked the lava-filled poached egg on top with his chopsticks, mixed the side dishes and rice in the bowl, and listened to Daniel Liang asking him questions.

"How are the preparations for the fashion show going?" Daniel Liang added beef chili sauce to her rice and glanced at him. "You still have time to come to the cafeteria to eat, so it should be okay?"

Alex Ye nodded: "The topic has been determined, and the main style has also been decided."

Daniel Liang said, "That's good," "It looks like it's going well." He added, "Don't forget tomorrow night, it's still the same hotel as last year. I'll send you the room number."

Alex Ye said yes, picked up his phone and looked at the room number Daniel Liang sent him, remembering what he said last time, "Sister-in-law, are you really going to introduce me to someone?"

Daniel Liang took a bite of rice and said helplessly, "When have you ever seen your sister-in-law joke?"

Alex Ye scrolled through the screen of his phone and checked the message in the work group. Without even raising his eyes, he asked, "Is this someone you know?"

Just as he was about to exit, Liam Wen's name suddenly flashed in the top bar. He paused, saw the VX message Liam Wen sent him, and looked in his direction.

As if sensing something, Ethan also looked towards him at the same time, and the two eyes were staring at each other from a distance.

"I've met her a few times, but we're not very familiar with each other." Daniel Liang answered him, "Lanlan said that she is the daughter of her former tutor. You'll know when you go there tomorrow night."

Alex Ye didn't listen much, just responded casually, and lowered his eyes to read Liam Wen's message.

Liam Wen: Do you have time to go to the flower market together?

Liam Wen: How about the weekend?

Visiting the flower market...

It seems like I haven’t been there for a long time.

Probably because they talked about flower planting that day, Liam Wen sent him a message to ask him out, but Lin Feng had agreed to come to Shenshui City this week, so he didn't know if there would be a conflict in schedule.

Alex Ye was a little conflicted and typed with one hand: I'll go when I have time.

Then he asked Daniel Liang: "Lao Liang, do you still remember where the flower market you went to last time was?"

"Flower market? It's on Chaoping West Road, right?" Daniel Liang asked, "Why did you suddenly think of going to the flower market?" After that, he glanced at his phone and raised his eyebrows curiously, "Who is it?"

Alex Ye moved his lips and was about to mention the fact that he and Liam Wen were living together, but he swallowed the words back. Before asking Liam Wen, he decided to hold off on talking about it for the time being.

At this time, Liam Wen sent another message.

Liam Wen: Okay, let’s wait until the weekend to watch it.

Liam Wen: Do you want to go for a walk around the neighborhood after work today?

Liam Wen: I saw a newly opened bookstore that day. I can have dinner there before going back.

Um?

bookstore?

Alex Ye's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately became interested, and replied with a "good" without hesitation.

After replying, he put down his phone, glanced at Daniel Liang across from him, and answered irrelevantly, "Xiao Feng will come this week. He said he is going to attend a colleague's wedding banquet, and he will be the best man."

"It's Xiao Feng." Daniel Liang asked suddenly, "How is he doing recently? When will he come?"

Alex Ye drank a mouthful of soup and said calmly, "He is the class teacher this semester and seems to be very busy. Maybe he will come on weekends."

Daniel Liang said with a regretful tone, "It's too late. Otherwise, I could have invited him to dinner. We can only make an appointment next time." As he spoke, he remembered something, "Xiao Feng is 27 years old this year?"

Alex Ye nodded: "Yes."

"So, he is the same age as that handsome guy in your department." Daniel Liang sighed again, "They are all young people."

Alex Ye slightly curved her lips and repeated: "Yes, they are all young people."

Not only are they the same age, but they are also high school alumni.

When they finished eating and left, the table by the window was empty. When walking out of the cafeteria, Alex Ye couldn't help but look in that direction again.

The magazine department and the book department are located on different floors. After leaving the cafeteria, Alex Ye and Daniel Liang walked towards the elevator together, and Daniel Liang pressed the button in front.

The elevator door opened quickly, and the two took a step forward. When they saw the figure in the car, they stopped at the same time and shouted at the same time, "President."

The man inside had his head hung, and was standing bonelessly against the car. He seemed to have left in such a hurry that he had forgotten to fasten even his tie. When he heard the word "president", he raised his eyes with a tired look on his face, and his voice was weak and a little hoarse.

"Hi."

"Good morning."

Leaf order:...

Daniel Liang:...

Daniel Liang entered the elevator first, and Alex Ye followed behind and pressed the floor number. He stood beside the man and reminded him with a smile: "President, it's already noon."

"Oh... Really? Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Ye." The man rubbed his temples, frowned, and showed a headache expression. He muttered softly, "I slept too long..."

Alex Ye and Daniel Liang looked at each other. They were used to it and were not surprised by it.

The president's office was on the sixth floor. There were only three of them in the elevator. Since the president was there, the two of them didn't chat much.

After a while, they reached the sixth floor. The man held his forehead and staggered towards the door. After taking two steps, his body suddenly lost weight and fell forward.

Seeing that he was about to fall, Alex Ye, who was closest to him, quickly helped him up, "President? Are you okay?"

"It's okay..." The man dodged like a frightened bird, supported his lower back, and subconsciously distanced himself, "I'm fine..."

Then he dragged his feet out of the elevator, turned back and said, "Notify the copyright department that there will be a meeting at 3 pm."

"good."

The elevator door slowly closed, the man's back disappeared from sight, and in a blink of an eye, they were the only two left in the car.

Alex Ye looked at the jumping floor numbers, and remembered the faint smell of alcohol that he had just smelled on the man, and asked curiously: "Did the president have a drinking party last night?"

Daniel Liang stood beside him with his hands behind his back. "It seems to be Ethan's business reception."

Alex Ye turned his head to look at him: "Ethan?" He searched for the two words in his memory, but had no impression, so he hummed softly, "I haven't heard of it, which Ethan?"

Daniel Liang took over the conversation: "The old Qian family in Shenshui City has been developing overseas in the past few years and has been low-key. It's normal that you haven't heard of them."

He glanced at the person next to him and added, "The Ethan in Liam Wen."

Smell the smell.

Alex Ye repeated it silently in his mind and nodded in understanding: "This surname is quite common."

"Not bad." They were almost at the magazine department. Before Alex Ye got out of the elevator, Daniel Liang asked, "Would you like to have dinner together tonight?"

Alex Ye refused without thinking: "No, I have an appointment tonight."

"Hmm?" Daniel Liang raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Isn't Xiao Feng here yet?"

Alex Ye raised his lip, but didn't say that the person he had an appointment with was Liam Wen. Instead, he asked, "Sister-in-law, aren't you working overtime tonight?"

Daniel Liang hummed: "No overtime."

The elevator door opened at this time, Alex Ye walked out, turned his back to him and waved: "Then you should go back to accompany your sister-in-law."
