I Can’t Be This Protagonist - Chapter 141
A week after the New Year’s Day, Yan Shuang successfully finished all the subjects’ exams. After the bell for the last exam, he said goodbye with a smile to his classmates in the same exam room, put on his schoolbag and got on the bus.
Sheng Guangming’s new store opened today.
It was originally planned to reopen after the year, but he said, “In this case, the employees have been vacant for too long. When they open the store in the last month of the year, they can be given year-end bonuses at that time.”
Such a good boss, no wonder those employees would rather wait for him to open a new store after the store was cleared.
He is a good man.
Yan Shuang looked out the window happily.
The plot of the good man is simple and easy to brush, and he likes the good man the most.
The whole city is stained with a strange layer of gray in winter, but the cake shop on the street is bright and soft blue. There are many flower baskets at the door, and exquisite desserts are displayed in the window. Yan Shuang got off the bus. Just smelled sweet.
The reopened cake shop is more popular than before in the mall, and even had to pull up a temporary cordon at the door to control the flow of people in the shop.
The clerk took out the biscuits and distributed them to the crowd. When they saw Yan Shuang in the line, their eyes widened in surprise, “Why are you here? Didn’t the boss say you have an exam today?”
When the store was being decorated, Yan Shuang gave advice in the past, and Sheng Guangming directly introduced it to the staff, “This is my boyfriend.” It was natural to say that, so everyone in the store knew that their boss had a Boyfriend who is seriously dating.
“After the test, I’ll give him a surprise.” Yan Shuang said with a smile.
The clerk said: “Then go in quickly, don’t wait in line, it’s so cold outside.”
The people in the front and back of the team heard the content of the two people’s words, and cast a somewhat dissatisfied look. Yan Shuang smiled and said: “It doesn’t matter, I’ll just line up here, and it will be my turn soon.”
The clerk couldn’t beat him, so he had to enter the store after dividing the biscuits.
Yan Shuang lined up quietly in the queue, with his hands in his pockets for shelter from the wind. After a while, the wind chime on the door rang, and a tall man wearing only short sleeves hurried out in the cold winter.
Sheng Guangming glanced over the team quickly, and then said in surprise: “Shuangshuang!”
Yan Shuang tilted his face in the crowd, smiled, and waved to him slightly.
Sheng Guangming hurriedly walked over in three steps and took two steps. In the past, he grabbed Yan Shuang’s hand first. The hands of people wearing thin clothes are much hotter than those wearing long down jackets, so they warmed Yan Shuang’s cold hands. When he got up, Sheng Guangming frowned, “Hands are so cold.”
“Congratulations on opening.” Yan Shuang smiled.
“Let’s go in,” Sheng Guangming put his arms around his shoulders, and gestured to the people in the front and back, “I’m sorry, this is my family.”
Yan Shuang was hugged into the store in a half hug, and Sheng Guangming led people all the way to a place with few people in the back kitchen before stopping.
The temperature in the store was very comfortable, and Yan Shuang’s face was flushed, Sheng Guangming held his hand, and his face still showed a distressed expression, “Why are you waiting outside, what should I do if I catch a cold? “He raised Yan Shuang’s hands and breathed in two warm breaths.
Yan Shuang smiled and said, “I’m not that vulnerable.”
Ever since he made a clear distinction with Qi Feiyun that day, Sheng Guangming’s attitude towards him was as careful as a fragile vase.
Originally, the beginning of this relationship was born on the premise that “one party does not like it”.
The favored party has nothing to fear, and it is the norm to be pampered and arrogant.
But Yan Shuang acted like the most perfect lover.
Every time he smiles, his gaze is so focused and gentle.
Sheng Guangming was simply flattered.
Gradually, he understood that Yan Shuang was fulfilling his promise—trying to like him.
In this case, he should work harder than Yan Shuang.
The love that both of them worked hard together made him feel sweet and joyful. Every day he passed, he became more certain that he hoped to continue walking with Yan Shuang, to a farther and better place.
“How was the exam?”
“Okay.”
“How did you get here?”
“Take a bus.”
“Why don’t you take a taxi? Or give me a call and I can pick you up.”
“I think you’re so busy today, so I won’t bother you.”
The two whispered common words, and the atmosphere in the corner gradually became ambiguous. When his cheeks were eager to approach, the clerk suddenly came over. Seeing the two people who were close, he braked suddenly and closed his eyes and shouted: ” I didn’t see anything…” Then he remembered the business, and said hurriedly: “Boss, something happened!”
The shop that was almost full of customers disappeared.
The long queue outside the door also disappeared.
It was as if someone had performed magic in just a few minutes, taking away all the anger in the store.
“…Not long after you entered, a group of people suddenly came and drove all the guests away.”
It sounded like a fantasy, Sheng Guangming frowned, “Who?”
The clerk pointed out the window in panic.
Sheng Guangming turned his face.
Across the street stood a row of men in black coats. They were tall and straight-faced. When someone wanted to go to the cake shop, they would immediately swarm up and scare them away without saying anything.
Everyone in the store looked at everything that was happening outside with anger and fear, and the behavior that looked like malicious competition could only be solved by asking the boss to come forward.
“I’ll go take a look.” Sheng Guangming said calmly.
“Let’s go together.” Yan Shuang took his arm.
Sheng Guangming said: “It’s okay, just stay here, it’s cold outside.” He patted the back of Yanshuang’s hand soothingly, and walked out while everyone was looking forward to it.
Yan Shuang also followed to the window.
Sheng Guangming quickly walked across the street.
Judging from Yan Shuang’s judgment on Sheng Guangming’s force value, the group of men in black on the opposite side should be able to fight Sheng Guangming, but after all, there are so many people facing one person, and they are on the street, so they should not do it in broad daylight. .
Sure enough, the two sides seemed to be just negotiating.
It seems that the negotiation is not going well.
Yan Shuang saw Sheng Guangming’s face ashen through the window, and the hands hanging on both sides had quietly clenched into fists.
“I’ll go out and see.”
Yan Shuang threw a word, calmly opened the door and walked out.
“…Who sent you?”
Sheng Guangming restrained the urge to throw a fist and asked again.
The leader of the men in black looked disdainful, and his tone was deliberately provocative, “Do you not know who you have offended yourself?”
“Who did he offend?”
Yan and the pair came from behind Sheng Guangming, with their chins tucked into the down jacket, with a light expression, Sheng Guangming hurriedly said: “Shuangshuang, what are you doing out, come in quickly.”
The leader suddenly put away his contemptuous attitude and said respectfully, “Master Yan.”
The hand that Sheng Guangming wanted to lift to pull Yanshuang suddenly froze.
“Where is Qin Yu’s white man?” Yan Shuang asked directly.
“President Qin is in the company.”
“Others hid in the company and asked you to come out and smash the scene? It’s really despicable.” Yan Shuang said coldly.
The leader did not dare to refute, and bowed his head and did not speak.
“Go, don’t stay here.”
“I’m sorry…” The leader hesitated, “Our task today is to stay until the store closes.”
“It doesn’t work if I let you go, does it?”
“…Sorry, this is what President Qin meant.”
“Where is the car, I’ll go with you.”
“Shuangshuang—” Sheng Guangming, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn’t help clenching Yanshuang’s wrist. He frowned, “It’s cold outside, I’ll take you in.”
Yan Shuang looked at him with a calm expression on his face, “It’s nothing, I’ll just talk about it in the past.”
“Hands are cold again, hurry in.” Sheng Guangming turned a deaf ear, pulled the person into his arms and walked into the store, Yan Shuang was hugged forward by him, and said in a cold tone: “Brother Sheng, this is my fault, I’ll fix it.”
Sheng Guangming hugged him halfway into the store without saying a word, and said to the clerk, “Get off work, I have a half-day off today, let’s go back to rest, it’s hard work.”
There was no joy on the faces of the people who got the holiday, and they all looked uneasy.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
The tall man stood upright in the store and looked very convincing. The clerks who had experienced a similar incident were a little shaken, but they could only pretend to be calm and obey the arrangement.
The bustling opening suddenly became deserted, and the clerks left one after another, and everyone looked worried when they left.
All the people in the store have left, leaving only Sheng Guangming and Yan Shuang and the sweet aroma of cakes in the room.
Sheng Guangming glanced at the street outside the window.
The men in black still didn’t leave.
“Let me go.” Yan Shuang said softly.
Sheng Guangming turned his face sharply and said decisively, “No.”
“It’s alright, maybe it’s because I said it too badly last time. He deliberately came to harass me. I apologized to him, and the matter is over.” Yan Shuang took this matter lightly. on himself.
“He was targeting me.” Sheng Guangming said.
“That’s because of me too.”
“It’s not your problem,” Sheng Guangming took his shoulder, “I’ll fix this, trust me, okay?”
Yan Shuang’s eyes were a little sad, and after a long silence, he said, “…Okay.”
Sheng Guangming took him into his arms, “Don’t worry, it will be fine.”
It happened suddenly and not suddenly.
The love affair with Yan Shuang was so smooth that Sheng Guangming subconsciously ignored the reef hidden under the water.
Qi Feiyun came, and it was Yan Shuang who drove people away.
Now that Qin Yubai is here, should Yan Shuang come forward?
Since he became Yan Shuang’s boyfriend, he was ready to meet these.
Sheng Guangming sent the person back home and warned, “Have a good rest at home, and I will come back to cook for you in the evening.”
Yan Shuang was sitting on the sofa, blinking his eyes and looking hesitant, under Sheng Guangming’s earnest gaze, he still nodded reluctantly.
He watched Sheng Guangming go out, sat quietly for a while, and picked up the phone on the side.
“Hello? It’s me.”
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, then sighed softly, with a complex helplessness in his tone, “Of course I knew it was you.”
“He’s here now, be careful yourself, be careful of getting beaten up.”
“…understood.”
“I’m sorry to trouble you.”
There was another silence on the other end of the phone, the man was breathing lightly, and after a while he smiled bitterly: “Shuangshuang, why did he make you unhappy?”
“He didn’t upset me.”
Yan Shuang lay down on the sofa and raised his feet, “He didn’t do anything wrong, it’s just that I want to set some obstacles for him to make him realize more quickly how honored it is to have me.”
There was another long silence on the other end of the phone. Yan Shuang didn’t hang up. He asked someone to do things, of course he had to be polite.
“…free tonight?”
“No time,” Yan Shuang said lazily, “Don’t go too far, Qin Yubai, haven’t you learned well yet?”
Qin Yu clenched the pen with his white fingers, lowered his long eyelashes, and his eyes seemed to be gentle, “I will do whatever you ask me to do, isn’t it good enough?”
