âNo problem.â Xiao Si looked out the window as he walked on and said sentimentally, âAnother year has passed by just like that. Youâve found a girlfriend, while Iâm still single.â
âThatâs alright! Ask you mom to arrange a blind date for you.â Nian Junting glanced at him.
âNo way.â Xiao Si shook his head vehemently. âOh yeah, I heard Ji Chuan tell me... that... Shuangwei will be returning this year...â
Nian Junting stopped in his tracks. âJi Chuan didnât tell me.â
âHe must have been worried that youâd feel uncomfortable, especially with what went down between you and Shuangwei. She feels the same way, too. Sheâs hardly been back the past couple of years.â Xiao Si sighed. âI havenât seen her in ages and hung out with everyone. None of them know about your new girlfriend yet.â
âThis is all history.â Nian Junting frowned. âI donât wish to talk about it again.â
Xiao Si sighed. He knew better than anyone that a happy family had been shattered because of what happened. The two of them parted ways at the elevator lobby. Nian Junting walked towards the CEOâs office, and he overheard two secretaries talking on his way in.
âItâs Christmas Eve in two daysâ time. How are you spending it?â
âWith my boyfriend, of course. Weâll have to eat an apple for good blessings for the rest of the year.â
âShouldnât he get you something else?â
âHe probably will. Weâll see,â she said as she caught Nian Junting standing in front of her and jumped.
âMr. Nian, Iâm sorry. I donât mean to chit chat during office hours.â
âItâs alright. Who doesnât talk during work time? How boring would it be if you stayed quiet the whole day?â Nian Junting continued, âYou have to gift something on Christmas Eve?â
âYeah.â
Nian Junting grinned and appeared to be excited. âWhat are some gift ideas for a man?â
The two secretaries were shocked. For a man? Mr. Nian was going to gift another man something on Christmas Eve? So, the rumors about Mr. Nian and the vice president were true. They really did have something going on between the two of them. Oh god, what were the two of them thinking? They were both so handsome and perfect, why did they have to be gay?
âThings like... gloves, belts, or wallets, I guess?â
âOh.â Nian Junting nodded meaningfully and walked into his office.
The two of them looked at each other and hugged each other tightly. So many girls in the company would be devastated when they found out.
...
In the office, Nian Junting pondered the subject by himself before calling Luo Sang.
âWhat? Iâm studying in the library,â Luo Sang whispered.
âHave you gotten me a gift for Christmas Eve yet?â Nian Junting cut to the chase.
â...Not yet.â What on earth? She should have been the one asking that question. Luo Sang was frustrated.
âGreat, listen, donât get me gloves. Winters here arenât that cold at all. I donât need them, neither do I need belts or a new wallet.â Nian Junting chuckled. âGive me something different.â
â...â
âWhy arenât you speaking?â
Luo Sang inhaled a sharp breath and said, âCan I ask you to give me something for Christmas Eve?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOf course?â
âGet me a whip.â Luo Sang wanted to whip some sense into him. So much for being a man. Not only was he asking for a present from her, he was listing all sorts of requirements.
âA whip?â Nian Junting was shocked. âAre you into BDSM? I donât think thatâs a good idea. We havenât even done it for real yet, what if you canât handle it? Iâm happy to try it out, but I just donât want you to be uncomfortable.â
âWhoâs talking about that?â Luo Sang was angry. âAlright, donât get me anything then, goodbye.â
âDonât be embarrassed. Whatâs so difficult about admitting to your fetishes?â Nian Junting smiled.
