Lin Yuhe persisted in not raising his head, so he missed the watchful gaze of the man standing before him.
Lin Yuhe was not sure what this action of tying his tie signified, as an older person helped him to tie his necktie. Also, the older man had personally turned his beloved boy into a man, providing him with guidance and teachings, watching the boy undergo maturity with his own mark on him.
He did not know that no one else was able to withstand this sort of feeling.
There were far too many things that he did not know.
The entire process of the man tying his tie went on so smoothly. Even after he finished, his hands still remained around Lin Yuhe’s neck and the front of his suit jacket for a long while. It was only after Lu Nan had carefully straightened out Lin Yuhe’s clothes that he finally withdrew his hands.
Only then did Lin Yuhe dare to raise his eyes and keep his face devoid of facial expression, as he listened to his thundering heartbeat that had long since been beating in his ear. Before long, he whispered, “Thank you.”
Lu Nan pursed his thin lips slightly and made a soft response.
Absentmindedly, Lin Yuhe seemed to have picked up on a mere trace of a smile on the corners of Lu Nan’s lips.
By the time he cast another glance at Lu Nan, the other had reverted to his usual cold and impassive expression.
Lin Yuhe thought, Have I begun hallucinating from fear?
Now that Chairman Lu had straightened out his suit and tie personally, all that remained was finally passed on to the hands of the stylists. His assistant then held up a brocade box that was wrapped in a bright yellow satin with both hands, and the stylist took it from the assistant and opened it carefully, revealing a jade brooch and a pair of jade cufflinks.
The embedded jade was rather large in size and of excellent quality, gleaming with a silky play of light. Enveloped with golden streaks, its design appeared chic and tasteful. No matter how you look at them, they did not look as if they had been recently custom-made, but rather, a simple and unadorned treasure that was most valuable and aged.
The jewelry in the brocade box and Lu Nan’s tie pin and cufflinks were part of a matching set, as they were all made of the same jade deposit. Just the raw material alone, it was deemed as priceless, let alone that astounding craftsmanship.
However, Lin Yuhe was not aware of the hefty cost of this jewelry and only felt that it was very dense as it laid heavily upon his chest.
Lowering his head to look at the jewelry, he was oblivious to the fact that the back of his slender nape was entirely exposed to the man. Hidden from Lin Yuhe’s sight, Lu Nan’s eyes fell upon that dazzling whiteness, not shifting his gaze even for a long time.
At last, the man even stretched his hand that had distinct joints out and pressed his palm against that smooth, long neck.
He initially made a grasping motion with the hollow of his palm facing downwards. But right before he made contact, his hand froze for a second as if something had restrained him. It was only then did he relent somewhat and used the back of his hand to cover that smooth and slightly chilled skin on the back of Lin Yuhe’s neck.
“Oh……?” Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Lin Yuhe quivered for a moment from the sudden heat against his skin.
He was also easily ticklish, so he instinctively wanted to shrink his neck back. But as soon as he recalled Lu Nan emphasizing twice for him not to move, he forcefully restrained himself, to not evade Lu Nan.
Fortunately, the elevated temperature did not stay on his skin for long. The man withdrew his hand quickly, as he slid his palm along Lin Yuhe’s back, feathering over his waist towards the front of his body and finally grasping Lin Yuhe’s fingertips.
Lin Yuhe’s fingers were usually very cold, so he could vividly sense the man’s scorching heat.
Although this sort of heat was calming, Lin Yuhe was not too used to having such close contact with people, especially when so many people were around. So, his body still remained rather rigid.
As he was trying his hardest to calm himself, he heard the man instruct, “Turn up the heat a little.”
It seemed that he was giving instructions to his assistant.
Once the air-conditioner temperature setting had risen, the heating in the room became more efficient. However, it was only after this moving humanoid freezer left would the entire room truly become slightly warmer.
“I still need to meet several guests,” Lu Nan mentioned, “After you have finished up here, you can rest for a while and head to the main hall by 11 in the morning.”
Lin Yuhe nodded his head obediently. “Okay.”
Before he left, Lu Nan had yet again raised his hands to help him straighten the brooch.
As soon as the man left, not only Lin Yuhe, but everyone in the entire room also could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Fear still lingered within everyone, but a young member of the stylist team could not help but sigh, “Young Master Lin, both of you are so close.”
Lin Yuhe plastered a smile on his face and said nothing else.
After more than ten minutes, Lin Yuhe finally got himself sorted and followed someone, whom Fang Musen had assigned to accompany Lin Yuhe, out of the makeup room.
The team of photographers had just begun putting all their equipment in order, awaiting to fight in the battle at the main hall in a while’s time.
Amongst them, a young main photographer, who had been watching the screen for a long while, could not help but nudge the assistant. “Xi Xi, what is it like……when you look at Young Master Lin?”
“What?” The assistant looked back. “You are asking me? Well, there certainly are loads to talk about. How does that saying go? Brother look at me, I can do it[1] and it only takes one glance from Brother for even an iron cage can’t hold flowing water[2]……”
“Alright, alright. You will be going overboard if you continue!” You are reading on g.com, the official source.
The photographer was busy trying to stop her. “I was not asking about this. What I was trying to ask…… Well, how shall I put this?”
The assistant asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
“Look at this.” The photographer pointed at the screen. “This is the video clip of Boss helping Young Master Lin put on his suit. After watching the close-up, I discovered that the way Boss looks at Young Master Lin is somewhat……”
Since she was not able to find words to describe, she could only let the assistant see it for herself. After watching the video clip, the assistant stiffened as well.
“This……”
The photographer asked worriedly, “Can we still keep this?”
This team of photographers had been recruited for nearly six months and they were usually responsible for Lu Nan’s official pictures and publicity materials. In addition to being in charge of the shoots, they were also required to select the most suitable footage accurately and remove inappropriate images.
This was the fundamental criteria in the industry. After all, even if it were the most ordinary actions, like laughing heartily and yawning, the cameras could magnify any defects by a hundredfold. Hence, all the content gathered from the long hours of filming would definitely need to be deleted.
When it came to the editing process, their team never had any issues with editing any content out, since their Boss was always impassive. So, even if they wanted to work hard in capturing any moments of his gaffes, it was nearly impossible. All this time, they had retained footage of their Boss’s deadpan expression.
But this time……
Despite their Boss’s face still indifferent, that look in his eye could not be concealed, even if it was separated by a screen.
The photographer and assistant could not help but turn to look at each other.
This sort of situation……should it be considered as a “gaffe” that is required to be deleted?
The author has something to say:
Would looking at my wife’s matters be considered a gaffe?
(It is called a pervert)
