After the new firm was registered and established, Li Shuo drew several cases from the original firm, so as soon as it opened for business, they already had a lot to do.

He chose a good day for the opening reception. In addition to inviting personal friends, Li Shuo also invited a bunch of industry elites and bigwigs. The relationship has always been very good, and more than 100 people came to join him.

There are too many people for Li Shuo to entertain but Zhao Jinxin always follows him around. Some people who knew of Li Shuo’s sexual orientation looked at them differently. Zhao Jinxin smiled and remained calm throughout the whole process. Even Wen Xiaohui raised his eyebrows at him while Chang Wenyou looked at him with scrutiny.

Zhao Jinxin is usually a polite and courteous young man in front of outsiders. Li Shuo is not worried if he will embarrass himself in public, but it is difficult to deal with him in private. For example, when the reception is halfway through, he is caught by Zhao Jinxin when he went to the toilet. He was blocked in the toilet cubicle and was asked for a ‘comfort fee’ for a long time.

“Stop it, you’re going to crumple my suit.” Li Shuo pants and dodges Zhao Jinxin’s kiss, but couldn’t stop his bold hands.

“At this time you are still thinking about your suit.” Zhao Jinxin smiled, “It seems that you are not focused enough.”

“Ok, Jinxin…” Li Shuo pushed his face away, “I really need to go out.”

“No, you will be separated from me by those people when you go out. I am all alone.”

“Nonsense, do you wanna stay in the toilet all the time? I really want to go out. Leaving a bunch of guests is too rude…” Li Shuo struggled, pulling Zhao Jinxin’s hands out of his clothes.

“No, I won’t let you go out.” Zhao Jinxin gently bit Li Shuo’s ear and cheek, “They are so annoying.”

“You… let me go or I’m going to be angry.”

Zhao Jinxin blinked his bright eyes: “I will let you go but I want to sleep in your house tonight.”

“……All right.”

“I want to take a bath with you.” Zhao Jinxin grinned, “My hand can already touch the water now.”

“Okay, okay, you let me go.”

Zhao Jinxin took out his hand, and gently put back on Li Shuo’s clothes and pants. He then took a sip on his lips: “Uncle Li is so delicious.”

Li Shuo hit him: “You can even have a ‘meal’ in the toilet.”

“I can have a ‘meal’ anywhere, and you will never get tired of it.” Zhao Jinxin smiled and bends his pair of beautiful eyes.

Li Shuo smiled and said: “Okay, this is serious. I will go out first, and you will come out later.”

“Understood.”

Li Shuo straightened his front breasts and walked out with his head held high, without showing any signs of the embarrassment of being molested just now.

As a result, as soon as he returned to his seat, Wen Xiaohui squinted at him with an expression of ‘I knew it’: “Frankly speaking, you have been in a toilet for such a long time, is it not boring?”

Li Shuo winked at him, and said in a low voice, “Be quiet.”

Wen Xiaohui smiled: “Sure enough. You are so ‘hungry’. Have you used all the things I gave you?”

“I’ll use them some other day. Some other day, yeah?”

“That’s it, you need to give me feedback.”

Li Shuo smiled bitterly: “Okay, okay.”

The cocktail party was held until almost ten o’clock. After the guests left, the assistant Xiao Chen organized the staff and the hotel staff to deal with the aftermath. Seeing that he was exhausted, Li Shuo stayed back to help him.

Zhao Jinxin was also silently guarding and helping.

Until all the work was done, it was already very late into the night, Li Shuo was so sleepy that he was yawning, Zhao Jinxin looked distressed, and opened a room in the hotel directly: “Let’s not go back today, just sleep here for one night. You are already so tired.”

“Alright, after a busy day, we should also open a few rooms for Xiao Chen and the others.”

“Okay.” Zhao Jinxin said softly, “Let’s go up to sleep.”

“Hmm.” Li Shuo told Xiao Chen about his arrangements and left the banquet hall with Zhao Jinxin.

The two of them walked around, unconsciously holding hands, as if it was a natural move.

Although Li Shuo was sleepy, he was still satisfied with today’s reception. He happily discussed the future development of the firm with Zhao Jinxin and Zhao Jinxin listened to him with a smile.

In their hotel room, Li Shuo sat on the sofa and rested for a while. He then pulled off his tie with one hand and squinted at Zhao Jinxin: “You still don’t take off your clothes? Don’t you want to take a shower?”

Zhao Jinxin was carrying a glass of milk that had just been delivered from the room service and placed it on the coffee table. He pinched Li Shuo’s nose: “You go and wash yourself first.”

Li Shuo raised his eyebrows: “Oh?”

“You are too tired today, how can I be willing to fuck you?” Zhao Jinxin took his two hands and pulled him up from the sofa, “Go take a shower. I’ll wait for you to come out. When the milk is warm later, you will drink this milk and go to sleep.”

Li Shuo smiled and pressed a kiss on his lips: “Okay.”

Li Shuo was really too sleepy. He rushed in the shower and came out. Zhao Jinxin handed him the milk cup and went to take a bath.

When Zhao Jinxin came out, Li Shuo was already lying on the bed. He had closed his eyes and sank into the quilt, looking peaceful and warm.

Zhao Jinxin climbed onto the bed gently.

Li Shuo’s eyes opened a small gap, he smiled slightly, and said nothing.

Zhao Jinxin also smiled softly at him, then got into the quilt and put his hand on his waist: “Are you asleep yet?”

“Not yet.”

“You are waiting for me.”

“No.” Li Shuo smiled lightly.

“It’s a lie, you must be waiting for me.” Zhao Jinxin tightened his grips and put Li Shuo into his arms.

“It’s just that in this period of time, I neglected to exercise, and I seem to be thinner.”

“Whether you are fat or thin, health is the most important thing. I will take you to a morning jog in the future, OK?”

“Hmm… let’s talk about it later. I am afraid that I will run out of time when I get busy in the future.”

“I can take you to exercise every day, urge you to eat, and take care of you.” Zhao Jinxin’s lips softly kissed Li Shuo’s forehead, “It’s just that I need to be closer to you.”

Li Shuo grinned: “You really haven’t given up…”

“I haven’t given up?” Zhao Jinxin smiled, “Yes, of course I won’t give up. I want to see you every day when I get up and hold you every day when I fall asleep.”

Li Shuo looked at Zhao Jinxin quietly, his eyes looked affectionate in ways that even he could not imagine. He was really softened and moved.

At the end of a tired, busy day, having a loved one by your side, chatting, eating, or even doing nothing, just being in a daze together, sounds like a yearning.

When Zhao Jinxin saw Li Shuo’s obvious looseness, he rubbed Li Shuo’s forehead back and forth with his own forehead, and acted softly: “Uncle Li, okay?”

“You…” Li Shuo smiled helplessly, “I am too sleepy now, let’s discuss this tomorrow, OK?”

“Tomorrow you will definitely find other excuses to refuse.”

“Maybe not.”

Zhao Jinxin’s eyes lit up. This was the first time Li Shuo let go of his restraint. He said excitedly: “Then promise me now. Right now.”

Li Shuo yawned: “You really know how to take advantage of others, I’m so sleepy…”

“If you promised me, I will let you sleep and sing a lullaby for you.”

Li Shuo laughed, as if a warm current poured into his heart, spreading to every part of his limbs in an instant and allowing him to experience a kind of unspeakable joy and sweetness, as if the whole person was satisfied, including the body and the heart. He slightly squinted at Zhao Jinxin: “Okay.”

“Uncle Li!” Zhao Jinxin gave him a heavy kiss. He was so excited that he couldn’t help himself. He kissed Li Shuo several times and rolled around on the big bed with Li Shuo in his arms.

Li Shuo said with a low smile: “Okay, let me sleep now.”

Zhao Jinxin hugged Li Shuo with a strong force and his nose also became sore when he was that excited: “This time, I will never leave you again.”

Li Shuo also hugged him back, his voice trembling slightly: “Jinxin, please don’t let me down again.”

“No, never again.” Zhao Jinxin said dumbly. “Thank you. From your appearance in front of me until now, all things related to you are the best things I have ever experienced in my life. “

Li Shuo stroked his back, with a satisfied smile on his face: “You don’t have to be afraid of the dark anymore.”

Zhao Jinxin’s eye circles suddenly became wet. Sometimes, he would think, how can he have such a good person by his side? So this time, he will never let go.

Zhao Jinxin feared that Li Shuo would go back on his words. So, as soon as he woke up the next day, he surrounded Li Shuo to discuss whether he should move in, or whether Li Shuo should move into his house or if they should buy a new house.

“Quickly stop fussing. Just live in my house. My house is closer to where you work.”

“I listen to Uncle Li.” Zhao Jinxin smiled.

Li Shuo brushed the broken hair from his forehead, his eyes were very gentle: “After moving over, you don’t need to do anything, just fall in love with me.”

“I don’t need you to do anything either.” Zhao Jinxin smiled so that his eyes were bent, and said without blushing, “Just be loved by me.”

Li Shuo squeezed his chin: “you really know how to flirt.”

“I will do it.” Zhao Jinxin licked his lips, “I will do whatever you want me to do.”

Li Shuo laughed: “I hope you learn restraint first.”

“How can you blame me?” Zhao Jinxin threw himself on Li Shuo, staring at him and said, “Who told you to be so seductive? Everyday, I want to not let you out of bed.”

“Restrain yourself, okay?” Li Shuo pinched his nose, looked at him unwillingly but still couldn’t help but smile.

Zhao Jinxin took possession of his lips: “It’s true. The first time I saw you, I already wanted to fuck you on the plane.”

“What’s going on in your head?” Li Shuo scolded with a smile.

“I miss you. I miss you every day.” Zhao Jinxin arched Li Shuo’s cheek with the tip of his nose, “Next time we go home together and see our parents together, okay?”

Li Shuo nodded: “Okay.”

“I want to tell your father and mother myself that I love you and I want to be with you forever.” Zhao Jinxin looked straight into Li Shuo’s eyes. His eyes looked firm and pure.

Li Shuo held his face and returned with the same seriousness: “Okay.”

Zhao Jinxin gave him a rough kiss, as if holding a world-famous treasure in his hand, not knowing how rare it should be. He wrapped Li Shuo with his hands and feet, and said with a smile: “Uncle Li, I will take care of your birthday this year. OK?”

“Okay.” Li Shuo exclaimed, “Time flies so fast, I’m halfway through 30 years old in a blink of an eye.”

“What are you worried about? Whether you are in your seventies or eighties, you are equally attractive.” Zhao Jinxin said happily, “I want to give you the best birthday.”

Li Shuo smiled and said: “Okay, don’t make it too grand, whatever else is fine.”

Zhao Jinxin’s eyes flashed with excitement.
