KC | Chapter 103

The union of bodies could be an outpouring of desire, or it could also be an intermingling of emotions.

Under the moonlight, the slender waist swayed up and down, the hot restraint was wrapped inch by inch, stained with moisture after being swallowed, then spat back out.

The sound of water and the rustling of the waist chain swayed through the quiet night, and the red mole between the legs trembled ambiguously under the waist chain.

The excitement of signing a key client, the joy of receiving an honor, and the overflowing love that was so full it spilled over all surged in the moonlit night. The three sources of excitement jointly composed a soaring, rising and falling symphony, one wave not yet settled before another rose.

The two people, vibrating at different frequencies, were like the positive and negative ends of a battery. At this moment, the positive end had been inserted into the negative end, forming a perfect closed loop. A huge current flowed through every limb and bone, and in the skull it was as if they could hear sparks roaring.

The surging love turned into actual actions, sharing a common joy, and together overcoming the hardships and twists of the road. They urgently longed for each other’s touch, endlessly merging into each other’s bodies.

They kissed each other’s souls in the moonlit night.

Last night had been too indulgent, and Chen Xi got up only in the afternoon, his body very hot and somewhat uncomfortable.

“Brother Lin…” Chen Xi unconsciously called for Lin Yiran, his voice hoarse.

Lin Yiran had never been so indulgent before, and after working for 13 years, this was the first time he had slept until the afternoon. He rubbed his eyes and wrapped an arm around the person beside his pillow. Chen Xi, half-asleep, burrowed into his embrace.

Very hot.

Lin Yiran suddenly opened his eyes, touched Chen Xi’s head, and seeing that his face did not look too good, said with heartache, “Sorry, yesterday was too much. I definitely won’t do this again in the future.”

Chen Xi shook his head and hugged him, saying, “Want it, want it.”

Lin Yiran’s hand reached into the blanket. Chen Xi said, “It’s fine, I wasn’t hurt.” Lin Yiran was helpless, got out of bed and poured a cup of water, then found two tablets of Luofen.

Chen Xi obediently took the medicine, and with a nasal hum said, “Brother Lin isn’t going to Beishi today…”

“No rush.” Lin Yiran asked, “What do you want to eat, buns and porridge, or noodles?”

“I’m really fine, just take Brother Zhang’s car back first.” Chen Xi lay down, closed his eyes, and his voice was muffled. “I originally wanted to drive you to the station today, then I would go straight home, but with this situation now… you go your way, don’t worry about me. I’ll sleep a bit more, and after I wake up, I’ll go home.”

Lin Yiran took a thermometer for him, ordered clay pot porridge and a few snacks, and after washing up he saw that Chen Xi’s fever had gone down a little. Only after feeding him a few bites of porridge did he leave.

Chen Xi slept until night. When he got up, the fever had already gone. He heated up the food in the microwave and sat in the living room, eating his breakfast, lunch, and dinner while replying to messages.

So many people sent blessings, and Chen Xi smiled as he replied to each one. The one most concerned about him was the leaky sieve brother, Zhang Yuanji. He sent a total of more than 20 messages, starting from last night and continuing until an hour ago, almost asking him once every two hours: Are you there?

「晨曦：你是在给林哥计时么？」

「领导说得都对：不是，我只是单纯地在关心你！」

Chen Xi decided to scare him a little, and very irresponsibly sent a line

「晨曦：谢谢关心，我不是故意不回信息。林哥弄了一晚上，给我弄发烧了，躺到现在才退烧。」

Chen Xi: ε＝ε＝ε＝(#>д

Lin Yiran called, and Chen Xi turned off his phone.

The next day, the well-rested Chen boss drove his boyfriend’s Cadillac home.

Chen Yubin was sitting on the sofa cracking sunflower seeds, and Jiang Yang smiled brightly. “This outfit looks so good, my big son is getting more and more handsome.”

Chen Xi bought his mother a set of skincare products and his father two cartons of Yuxi cigarettes. It was the first time the two elders had received something from Chen Xi worth more than 300 yuan, and they were pleasantly surprised.

“Xiao Xi, how’s work been lately?” Chen Yubin grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to him.

Chen Xi nodded. “Not bad.”

Before this, every time Chen Xi came home, he had a face full of gloom. The two elders were afraid that if they said something wrong, he would go into the room and sulk. This time, Chen Xi not only bought them things, he had also become more cheerful. Chen Yubin figured out the flavor of it and said, “Did you get promoted?”

Chen Xi shook his head. “Still sales, I just signed a few clients, so I can get a little more money.”

Jiang Yang frowned and said, “You didn’t get promoted, so why buy such expensive cosmetics? If you have money, save it for the mortgage. Mom doesn’t lack face cream.”

“Hey, how could you bear to buy expensive ones? The beauty bloggers said this brand’s skincare has anti-aging effects. I’ll buy a set first to try, and if it works well, I’ll keep buying it for you.”

Xu Dongxu had even given away a wallet worth several thousand, so what was wrong with giving his parents something worth a few hundred? Right now he just had no money. When the salary came on the 15th, he’d buy them something more expensive.

After a few pleasantries, they came to the topic Jiang Yang cared about most. “Does my son have a partner?”

Chen Xi hesitated for 2 seconds, then nodded.

“Aiya, I said why you became so cheerful, this definitely has to do with dating someone!” Jiang Yang smiled like a flower. “How did you meet, what does the other person do, bring them home for New Year…”

“I want to eat a popsicle.” Chen Yubin interrupted his wife’s words.

Jiang Yang frowned in dissatisfaction and said, “The neighbors already have grandchildren, what’s wrong with me asking?”

Chen Xi had originally wanted to tell the truth, but that “grandchildren” sounded a bit harsh. After considering it several times, he said, “We have only been together for two months. We haven’t developed to that stage yet.”

“No rush, no rush, let’s take it slow. Don’t be like those improper young people, getting in the car first and paying the fare later.” Chen Yubin said.

Chen Xi: …

The next day, Chen Xi made an appointment on a certain platform with the psychological counseling center with the highest rating in Fushi. No one was willing to admit that they had a mental illness. Chen Xi just wanted Lin Yiran to get a better version of himself.

The counselor was a woman in her thirties, and her voice was gentle. “Good afternoon, Mr. Chen. I am Sili, very happy to spend a wonderful afternoon with you.”

Chen Xi nodded and said, “You can just call me by my name. Sili, I want to consult about mental health issues.”

“Okay, Chen Xi, then do you feel, what mental issues do you have?”

“Some time ago, three different little people would often appear in my brain. They each voiced their own opinions and refused to give way to each other. Sometimes they would argue for a whole night. I couldn’t sleep well, couldn’t eat, and felt very bad.”

Sili’s expression turned serious, and in an instant she returned to a smile, her voice still gentle. “Can you remember clearly what they were arguing about?”

“Yes, sometimes they would argue about clients’ ideas. Right, this is related to the work I do, I’m a salesperson who needs to sell advertising to the client. Sometimes, sometimes they would also argue about my emotional issues. But now it’s better, they haven’t appeared for quite a while.”

Sili: “You can remember clearly what they were arguing about, which means this was not a dream, but your subconscious behavior. What you described is a chronic mental disorder called ‘schizophrenia’, the cause of which is related to social and emotional pressure. Once the pressure is eliminated, the symptoms will improve significantly. You haven’t seen those 3 little people recently, which means your recent pressure hasn’t been very great. Continue maintaining this state, and the condition can gradually recover.”

Chen Xi nodded. “Although there has still been some pressure recently, all client problems can be solved easily, not like before when I had the heart but not the strength.”

Sili smiled and said, “If it’s convenient, can you talk to me about your emotional issues?”

Schizophrenia came from the dual pressure of work and life. Since he had decided to receive treatment, Chen Xi simply laid it all out.

Chen Xi thought about it and said, “Before, I thought the person I had a crush on had a family, and I had been very troubled. Now, we’re together, so the pressure has disappeared.”

Sili: “You thought she had a family, and felt uneasy about your own emotions, so pressure arose. If in the future, she can’t give you enough sense of security, you should still feel pressure.”

Chen Xi froze.

During this period, Lin Yiran had indeed given him enough sense of security, but when he secretly took a side job for Pingsheng behind his back, Chen Xi immediately felt that he was being dishonest and felt that there was a problem with their relationship.

Chen Xi: “Am I too sensitive?”

Sili nodded. “Emotional sensitivity is not a bad thing. You will be able to take good care of the emotions of both the client and your lover, and you will notice some problems that others cannot notice. But at the same time, you will also feel more pressure than others. I suggest communicating more with the client, and understanding their real needs. With a lover, not only do you need more communication, you also need more companionship.”

Chen Xi smiled and said, “Indeed, we haven’t been together for very long. Maybe after a few more years, I won’t need him to give me a sense of security anymore.”

The two of them chatted for almost an hour. Chen Xi found the cause of his schizophrenia and decided to follow Sili’s advice: participate in more outdoor exercise, improve his stress resistance, and confess his condition to Lin Yiran. Only without barriers could love continue.

When the consultation was about to end, Sili reminded him, “Schizophrenia tends to recur, it is not afraid of sustained high pressure, what it fears most is sudden stimulation. If you can’t bear the pressure, you can share your worries with your lover at any time, or come find me.”

Chen Xi smiled and said, “Communicating with you is indeed very pleasant, but I think I probably won’t come again. After all, counseling costs money.”

Sili also laughed, then reminded him again, “Absolutely do not go participate in overly stimulating extreme sports, or do things that may cause severe emotional fluctuations. If schizophrenia is suddenly stimulated, it may very likely evolve into split personality.”

Chen Xi spent several days at home being a rice worm. On the evening of October 5, Uncle Pan from Xinxin Door Industry said he would introduce a client to him, One Brother Wooden Door.

It was the “One Brother Wooden Door” from Chen Xi’s key client list!

Uncle Pan said that twenty years ago, One Brother had learned how to make roller shutters from him. Because he couldn’t endure hardship, he changed careers and went into wooden doors. At the Eleventh door industry expo, the two ran into each other by chance and ate a meal together. While chatting about recent developments, Uncle Pan said that lately he had been relying on advertising to get work. One Brother had been in the door industry for more than 10 years and had always worked within circles. He was especially worried that advertising was unreliable. Today, hearing from his master that he could get work, his eyes lit up green, and he immediately told Uncle Pan to get people. One Brother not only had online marketing needs, he also had offline event needs.

Chen Xi was stunned by this pie that had fallen from the sky. Last time Zhang Yanrong had shown him Oulai’s bidding floor, and this time when there was work, he had not forgotten his big brother.

On the morning of October 6, Chen Xi drove at full speed to One Brother Wooden Door headquarters. The two marketing big shots and “One Brother” chatted very happily. After confirming the general direction, they ate a meal together.

“One Brother”‘s real name was Zhong Yige. He said that this name meant valuing love and righteousness, with lofty character. Zhang Yanrong followed along and joked that One Brother had affection and righteousness, and his horizons were unusually broad. Chen Xi couldn’t keep up, white liquor and beer went down one cup after another, a classic case of “it’s all in the wine.”

After eating and drinking well with the client, the two walked toward the parking lot. Zhang Yanrong said in surprise, “Isn’t this Old Lin’s car!”

Chen Xi nodded. “Brother Lin is in Beishi these few days, so he lent me the car to drive.”

Maybe because he had drunk a bit too much, Zhang Yanrong spoke without much thought: “He’s so good to you, even his car is lent to you. Heh, so Old Lin saying bad things about you was because he didn’t want to let you go.”

Although Chen Xi had drunk more than him, he was not completely out of it. Since it involved Lin Yiran, he couldn’t help but tense up a little. “What bad things did Brother Lin say about me? What do you mean by not letting me go?”

“Three months ago, didn’t you submit your resume to Ouchuang? During the background check, Old Lin said you ‘slept with a colleague and then ran,’ and now that I think about it, I’m f*cking just a pig. I believed his ghost words and rejected your resume…”
