Chapter 43.2
Editor: Jodi
The Tang Group had just invested a large sum of money into a project, and Ying Teng collapsed soon after. What’s more many responsible parties fled abroad with the funds, making it so that the beleaguered Ying Teng had no money left for compensation.
By the time the bankruptcy liquidation was complete, the Tang Group wouldn’t be able to recover much.
Meanwhile, the “reborn” Hua Yue signed a cooperation project with the emerging Ya Qi amidst the turmoil.

National Day was a statutory holiday, so Deep Blue’s employees all received a seven-day break.
Only Fu Shen stayed at the company diligently.
Tang Zhou also didn’t take a holiday but left work early to pick up Fu Shen from Deep Blue.
On the way, he saw a cake shop and, on a whim, bought a small cake.
**
The company was deserted, with only the sound of a mouse and keyboard coming from Fu Shen’s office.
Tang Zhou walked to the door quietly, grasped the handle, and turned it slowly.
The door wasn’t locked!
He opened it a crack and saw Fu Shen’s handsome face through the gap.
It was said that a man working seriously was the most attractive— Tang Zhou felt that this was very true.
Fu Shen had experienced a lot since childhood, and so had matured early, making it so that he no longer had the greenness of a student, and so as he sat there working so intently, he was truly captivating.
He seemed to gradually merge with the Fu Shen in Tang Zhou’s dream, yet he was less gloomy and cold, and more gentle and peaceful.
Then suddenly thinking of someone’s increasing requests for kisses, he couldn’t help but smile.

It wasn’t until Fu Shen paused his work that Tang Zhou pushed the door open and knocked.
Fu Shen who was organizing his thoughts looked up impatiently at the sound, only to see the handsome, dignified young man standing at the door with a smile, holding a cake box.
His impatience instantly turned to joy.
He stood up hurriedly to greet him. “When did you get here?”
Tang Zhou: “Just now.”
The two of them sat on the new sofa that had been placed in the office, then Tang Zhou put the cake down. “I brought you some afternoon tea.”
Fu Shen couldn’t care less about afternoon tea. Tang Zhou’s presence was the biggest surprise.
He wrapped his arms around Tang Zhou’s waist, his eyelashes lowered. “Why didn’t you say anything before coming?”
Tang Zhou raised an eyebrow. “You don’t like surprises?”
“I do.” Fu Shen paused, “but I wish you’d go home and rest early.”
Tang Zhou opened the cake. “Coming here is also resting.”
The mixed fruit and cream scent filled the air, even making Tang Zhou, who rarely ate sweets, feel a sense of happiness.
He scooped a spoonful and brought it to Fu Shen’s lips. “Everyone else is on vacation, and you’re the only one working overtime. I have to reward you, don’t I?”
Fu Shen’s eyes were filled with a smile as he accepted Tang Zhou’s kindness.
“Is it sweet?”
“It is.”
“How sweet?”
Fu Shen scooped a spoonful. “You try it.”
Tang Zhou shook his head. “Too much might be cloying.”
Fu Shen reduced the amount.
Tang Zhou: “I’m a bit thirsty.”
“I’ll get you some water.” Fu Shen stood up, feeling remorseful. How could he have forgotten?
Tang Zhou, however, laughed softly.
Fu Shen turned back, puzzled.
“Bend down.” Tang Zhou told him, his eyes curving into a smile.
Fu Shen bent down.
“A bit lower.”
Their faces were only a centimeter apart.
Then Tang Zhou, who was sitting on the sofa reached up to hold the back of Fu Shen’s neck, leaned up to his lips, then kissed the cream away lightly.
“It really is sweet.”
The young man’s eyes that were as bright as stars fell into Fu Shen’s deep, quiet pool, stirring the beast buried at the bottom. Then the beast surged out of the water, lunging at the bright star that was within reach.
When Tang Zhou was pushed down on the sofa, he was still expectant.
However when a certain beast tore off its gentle mask, revealing its ferocity as if it wanted to devour the star, he shivered, grabbed the hand inside his shirt, and whispered, “This is the office.”
Fu Shen chuckled, pinching his cheek. “Now you remember this is the office?”
Knowing he was in the wrong, Tang Zhou retorted, “I thought you liked Plato.”
Fu Shen paused. “When did I say I liked Plato?”
“Last time at the villa. I asked you and you said it was fine.” Tang Zhou still felt indignant.
Fu Shen was dumbfounded.
Then he sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “You asked so seriously. I thought… okay, I misunderstood you.”
Tang Zhou’s eyes widened. “You thought? You thought what? You thought I wanted Plato?”
Fu Shen didn’t say anything, however the expression on his face said clearly: Isn’t that right?
“That night when we were swimming, I was sure you were avoiding me.” Tang Zhou said, feeling wronged.
Anyone would think badly if their lover avoided them, right?
Fu Shen covered his forehead, sighing. “I was afraid of scaring you.”
After all, that swimming trunk had been tight— it would have been obvious.
Tang Zhou thought in his heart: He wouldn’t have been scared— he had seen the videos.
Then Fu Shen caught his hand.
The look in his eyes deep as he guided Tang Zhou’s hand lower, lower…..
Then he asked, his voice husky, “Are you scared?”
Tang Zhou: “…”
Although his hand had just stopped short off and didn’t touch anything, Tang Zhou still felt a burning sensation spreading through his body from the tips of his fingers.
His face flushed deeply.
Yet he stiffened his neck. “We’ll study it when we get home…”
Chuckling softly, Fu Shen let go of his hand.
There was plenty of time ahead.
