My name is Li Ming, I am 28 years old and I work for a foreign company. Work is stressful, and overtime is common. However, the income is good enough to support my living expenses in this big city. I am more introverted and shy, I don't have many friends, and my life and rest are relatively regular. After work, I rest at home, and occasionally go to the gym to exercise to release work pressure.
"Hey, I'm going to work late again. I muttered to myself as I packed my things.
I looked around and my colleagues looked tired, and it seemed that everyone had been working hard lately. I secretly made up my mind that I must find an opportunity to apply for a leave of absence from the leader tomorrow.
I have a female colleague named Chen Yu, who joined the company not long ago. She is very beautiful, fair-skinned, hot, and has neat short hair, which is simply a little girl in the office. However, she is very low-key, hardworking, and never shows off with others, giving people a sense of independence and stability.
"Chen Yu, you can help me check this report. "I handed her the papers.
"Okay, no problem. She smiled slightly, her eyes gentle and polite.
Looking at the side face of her focused work, I couldn't help but feel envious. I also want to be able to play it with ease and take it easy.
Everyone admires her hard-working, low-key style. The atmosphere in our department has also become more harmonious and dynamic because of her joining.
Just last week, Chen Yu suddenly approached me and said that she needed to stay at my house for a while. It turned out that the apartment she rented was going to be renovated, and the landlord asked her to move out temporarily for a while. She had heard me mention that the two-bedroom apartment I rented by myself was very spacious, and then she thought of asking to borrow it from my house.
"Li Ming, I've been experiencing a little difficulty recently, do you mind if I stay at your house temporarily?" Chen Yu asked me shyly.
"Oh, no problem, it's just friends helping each other. I was a little surprised, but I readily agreed.
"Thank you so much, I just need to borrow it for a month or so. She smiled with relief.
I didn't think much of it at the time, so I readily agreed. We're co-workers and we get along well, so she shouldn't have a problem borrowing it for a while. Besides, my house is indeed redundant and not too crowded.
I sat on the couch and looked at the familiar surroundings of my home. The words of my parents seemed to sound in my ears: "Don't mess around, keep in measure." "
I am more introverted, I rarely interact with the opposite sex, and I am not familiar with the way the two sexes get along. I began to feel a little regretful, maybe I should have thought twice before acting, instead of agreeing to Chen Yu's request so easily.
"No, no, no, I'll have to dismiss that idea. "I cheered myself up.
But on second thought, Chen Yu is already my colleague, and he is a very reliable person. I should believe in her, and I believe in myself, and we should be able to get along.
After a battle between heaven and man, I finally made up my mind to let Chen Yu move in as scheduled. As a man, I must be responsible, measured, and never do something immoral.
A few days later, Chen Yu moved into my house. We agreed that she would stay in the second bedroom and we would share the bathroom and living room. I try not to dress too casually at home, and I try to go home early so that she doesn't wait at home alone.
"You're back, I just made dinner. "Every day when I go home, Chen Yu will give me a bright smile.
"Well, thank you. I nodded, my heart warm.
We worked together at home like a couple of lovers, talking and laughing. She cooks and cleans, and I do the shopping and chores at home. Everything was so natural, as if we were meant to live together like this.
"Chen Yu, I'm done. "I came out of the bathroom wiping my hair.
"Okay, then I'll go wash it. She slung the towel over her shoulder and brushed me by, with a faint scent on her body.
One night, I accidentally saw Chen Yu's side face curled up on the sofa watching TV after taking a shower. Her skin looked smooth and greasy in the warm light, delicate like an 18-year-old girl.
"What's wrong? Are you in a daze?" Chen Yu asked puzzled when he saw me staring at her directly.
"No, nothing. I looked away and shook my head viciously.
I began to wonder if it was a mistake for the two of us to live together like this? Should I find an opportunity to put an end to this situation as soon as possible? However, the thought of losing Chen Yu made me miserable again.
The days of conflict went on for two weeks, and my heart was almost torn apart. As a man, I really can't continue to suppress my desires, I have to make a decision. So one night, after I was full of wine and food, I finally mustered up the courage to test Chen Yu.
"Chen Yu, you said that we live together like this, will anyone have some other ideas?" I pondered my words and asked her tentatively.
Chen Yu seemed to be stopped by my words, and she was silent for a while, with an unconcealable shy look on her face.
My heart was pounding, and my brain was blank for a moment. I never expected that Chen Yu would come to my house with such a mind!
"What did you say?" I stammered, "You mean, you like me as a person?"
Chen Yu nodded, with an expectant look on his face: "Yes, I have always admired you." You're a nice guy and you're nice to people. Living with you during this time made me decide that I was truly in love with you. "
My brain was buzzing and the blood seemed to rush to the top of my head. It turns out that everything I secretly struggle with is superfluous. Chen Yu also has the same mind as me!
Despite this, I still didn't immediately agree to Chen Yu's wishes. Because in my traditional concept, a girl who takes the initiative to woo a guy always seems to be a little bit impolite.
"It's okay, I'm pretty sure. Chen Yu said firmly, "We have been living together as a husband and wife for so long, and I feel very well about you." "
I lowered my head and fell into deep thought. Indeed, during this period of time, Chen Yu and I have gotten along like a pair of lovers, or even more like a husband and wife. However, everything came so suddenly that I was a little caught off guard.
Just when I was in pain, Chen Yu stood up and walked to my side. She reached out and gently stroked my cheek with a gentle smile on her face.
"Li Ming, you don't have to be so entangled. Just let everything run naturally. She said, "We're already in love, so why hide it?"
Chen Yu's words were like a basin of clear water, extinguishing the confusion in my heart. Yes, we are already in love, so why hide it anymore? We should be brave enough to face our feelings.
I took a deep look at Chen Yu, and then resolutely kissed her on the lips. Her lips are so sweet and delicious, if I keep running away, I'm sorry for myself.
In this way, after some struggle, I finally accepted Chen Yu's love and my heart's desire. I know that from now on, our lives are going to change completely.
Although Chen Yu and I finally confessed our hearts to each other, our relationship was not all smooth sailing. As colleagues, we must be careful to hide our relationships for fear of causing trouble for the company and our colleagues.
"When you have a meeting tomorrow, you'll have to behave. Chen Yu said half-jokingly.
"Don't worry, I won't look like a young man who is just starting to fall in love. I smiled and pinched her cheek.
We avoid suspicion in the company, for fear of being discovered that we are secretly entangled. But as soon as we got home, we kissed each other hungrily, seeking each other's warmth.
Sometimes I wonder bitterly, why can't we be together openly, why do we hide our feelings for fear that others will know? But when I think about the rules of the company, I can't help it.
After a month of contradictions, the relationship between me and Chen Yu became deeper and deeper. Whenever we secretly kiss each other, I have an unprecedented courage growing in my heart: we should fight for our love, fight!
"Chen Yu, I'm thinking, maybe we should give it a go. "One night, I plucked up the courage to say it to her.
"Yes, I know it's risky. But if we're not brave, we'll always have to love each other carefully. I said firmly.
Chen Yu was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, just do as you say." Anyway, we already love each other so much, so why hide anymore?"
In this way, after some careful consideration, Chen Yu and I made up our minds to fight for our love, even if it would cost us. After all, true love requires courage, and there is no reason for us to continue to run away from it.
"It's normal for you young people to fall in love, as long as it doesn't affect your work, I won't interfere. The leader was so open-minded, "But you should be extra careful in the future, just don't cause trouble for the company." "
In this way, although my relationship with Chen Yu is still "underground", at least it has the tacit approval of the company. We were all secretly glad that if we were opposed by the company, we would be in danger of being fired.
Since then, Chen Yu and I have become more cautious, but also more calm. At least we don't have to hide and hide anymore. With the acquiescence of the company, our love is invincible.
