Collapsing 11 Boundaries 4

This position really couldn't be seen.

The two people were wet and their bodies were attached to each other. It would be strange if Jiang Xie kissed the other person.

Outside the moment, Xie Xi couldn't help rubbing his temple. Such an obvious setup, Jiang Xie was really deceiving himself.

Of course, the two people didn't kiss. Xie Xi had deliberately done this action to make the heart of the teenager in front of him jump. If he kissed the teenager, it would be overdoing it and wasn't in line with the current progress.

Jiang Xie got up in a hurry. "I'm sorry."

Xie Xi was ashamed. "I didn't pay attention and dragged you down…" Then he asked, "You weren't hurt by the fall?"

Jiang Xie naturally wasn't hurt. His whole body was pressed against Xie Xi and only his knee touched the ground.

He belatedly asked, "Are you okay? I was pressing against you."

Xie Xi took a light breath. "I'm fine." However, he couldn't stand up.

Jiang Xie's heart shook and he went to help this person. "Is it painful?" The floor was very hard and he fell down like that. Xie Xi pressed underneath him would definitely be uncomfortable.

Xie Xi grabbed Jiang Xie's hand and struggled to stand up with a bitter smile. "Once you get older, your body isn't as fit."

He was in his prime and only a bit older than Jiang Xie.

Jiang Xie disagreed. "You are so young."

Xie Xi released this person and rubbed his waist. "How old do you think I am?"

Jiang Xie replied softly, "In your early 20s?"

Xie Xi smiled. "I'm 11 years older than you."

Jiang Xie was surprised for a moment.

Xie Xi blinked. "I'm an uncle right?"

Jiang Xie stared. The person in front of him had black hair that was messy because of the water. His white face was covered with water and his beautiful eyes were full of smiles. The beautiful lips were light because of the cold and people couldn't help…

Jiang Xie's heart thumped and he s.h.i.+fted his line of sight. "28 is the best age…" He bluntly s.h.i.+fted the topic. "Go and change clothes or you will catch a cold."

"You too. You're soaking wet."

"I…"

"Let's go." Xie Xi held his hand. "It won't be good if you are seen like this."

Jiang Hong was really important to the Jiang family or else Jiang Xie wouldn't dress like this to support her. It would be a disaster if he was seen this way.

Xie Xi was quite familiar with this place. He bypa.s.sed the service staff and took Jiang Xie to an empty room.

Xie Xi took out his phone and found that he could still use it. He hurriedly made a phone call to his a.s.sistant. Jiang Xie's phone was more uncooperative. There was only a black screen after he took it from his bag.

Xie Xi asked, "Do you remember your a.s.sistant's number?"

Jiang Xie naturally remembered it and Xie Xi lent his mobile phone. Unexpectedly, this phone also had a limit. It barely managed the previous call and died.

Jiang Xie, "…"

Xie Xi smiled. "It's fine. Wait for Xiao Liu to come over and I'll ask him to go and talk with your driver."

Jiang Xie shook his head. "No, I'll go back myself." The diver who came with him today didn't know the secret so it wasn't very convenient.

Xie Xi thought about it and suggested, "I'll send you back."

Jiang Xie didn't refuse and said, "I will trouble you."

Xie Xi shook his head. "If it wasn't for your help tonight, I don't know how long I would be in the water."

"I didn't Mr. Xie to not be able to swim."

"As a child, I fell into the water. Since then, I have been a bit afraid of water."

Jiang Xie was stunned.

Xie Xi smiled at him. "Really, thank you for just now."

Jiang Xie told him, "Don't be afraid. If you have the chance, you should learn how to swim."

Xie Xi sighed, "Yes, if I fall again and there is no Miss Jiang…" He paused and changed his words. "Maybe no one will save me."

Jiang Xie's heart was hot as he said, "You can call me by my name."

"Xiao Xie." (Remember,Xiao = little/small)

Jiang Xie was obviously stunned and the tip of his ears were red. "Yes."

At this time, Xie Xi's a.s.sistant hurried over with clean clothing. Xie Xi pushed Jiang Xie into the inner warm, causing Jiang Xie's heart to warm. Xie Xi took the clothes and told his a.s.sistant, "Bring over one more."

The a.s.sistant didn't ask much and left.

Xie Xi returned to Jiang Xie and said, "You should put on my clothes first."

"I will wait. You change first."

Xie Xi s.h.i.+vered and said, "Then I will change first."

Jiang Xie said this but he didn't expect Xie Xi to took off his suit jacket. The soaked s.h.i.+rt was completely attached to the body, showing the perfect lines.

His fingers were long and white, bringing out an unspeakable s.e.xiness when he untied his tight neckline.

In fact, these movements were very ordinary and there wasn't a hint of any meaning behind it. Still, Jiang Xie couldn't help his heart becoming hot.

Xie Xi outside the memories saw it. 'Young man, you are too easy to provoke!'

Once all the b.u.t.tons were untied and Xie Xi took off his s.h.i.+rt, Jiang Xie directly escaped. "I… will go to the bathroom."

Xie Xi's lips slightly curved but his tone was calm. "Okay, go wash your face."

By the time Jiang Xie came out, Xie Xi had finished changing clothes. His hair was still messy but this didn't lower his face value. Instead, it got rid of some of the mature and elite worker temperament, making him more youthful.

Jiang Xie looked slightly dazed.

Xie Xi told him, "Your clothes are here. Change quickly."

Jiang Xie took the clothes and went inside. It wasn't until the closed the door and started to change clothes that he woke up. Why should he avoid Xie Xi? They were both men and what was the big deal about changing face to face?

Unfortunately, he already went in and it was too strange to go out again.

Jiang Xie faintly felt a bit uneasy, as if there was a secret hidden inside his heart that he didn't dare face up to.

He changed clothes and came out, causing Xie Xi's eyes to lit up. "It fits just right."

The two men had an 11 year age difference but Jiang Xie was around the same size as Xie Xi, causing his clothes to fit well.

Jiang Xie saw the light in the other person's eyes and his heart thumped.

Xie Xi smiled. "You are only 17 years old yet you're so tall. After two years, you will be half a head taller than me."

"Mr. Xie has a good height."

Xie Xi shook his head. "No, if your sister wears high heels then I wouldn't dare stand beside her."

Jiang Xie smiled. "My sister is very tall." The 1.8 metres tall woman could be a model.

Xie Xi told him, "Your family has good blood. Both brother and sister are tall and look good."

This was easy to say but it was actually boasting at the disguised Jiang Xie was good-looking.

The 17 year old boy heard this and there was a bang in his heart.

Xie Xi sent Jiang Xie home and as they separated, Xie Xi said, "I have arranged for someone to clean your wet clothes. Wait for me to contact you."

Jiang Xie wanted to say it didn't matter since those clothes were originally disposable but…

Xie Xi spoke what he was thinking. "Give me a contact method?"

"Good."

The pair swapped numbers and added each other as friends on the social network software.

Then Xie Xi left.

The perspective of the memories was fixed on Jiang Xie.

This evening's 'accident' had an enormous impact on Jiang Xie. He stared at the newly added number in his phone and easily made note of it.

Xie Xi's circle of friends was very dull and rigid. There was no personal information but Jiang Xie looked on with relish for half an hour.

The Xie Xi outside the memory was speechless and found it funny. Based on this, he could basically guess 70~80% of what happened.

Xie Xi clearly deliberately approached Jiang Xie. It could be seen from this chance encounter. After all, how could there be so many coincidences?

As for what Xie Xi was plotting, it was easy to guess as long as he combined it with Jiang Xie's 'despicable.'

He was likely trying to steal the Jiang family's important resources. The young Jiang Xie knew he had been cheated and was filled with hate, retaliating against Xie Xi.

Xie Xi guessed most of it but he still had to keep watching. He needed to scrutinize many details and work hard to find a method of breakthrough, checking if there was a possibility of whitewas.h.i.+ng himself. He quickly entered the memories and watched as Jiang Xie completely fell.

After the drowning incident, Xie Xi didn't immediately contact Jiang Xie and waited a week.

During this time, Jiang Xie was very stable. He did everything well and became more familiar with the operation of the company.

However, during the quiet night, he would pick up the phone and stare at Xie Xi's number.

On the weekend, Xie Xi finally sent him a voice message. "Are you free tomorrow?"

Jiang Xie's joy illuminated the entire memory segment.

Xie Xi smiled at the sight, heart as sweet as honey.

Jiang Xie replied in a reserved manner, "Is there something?" In fact, his hands were shaking as he typed.

"Do you want to watch the ball? I have two tickets."

Jiang Xie immediately thought, "Baseball?"

Xie Xi replied, "Yes."

Jiang Xie loved to play baseball. "I didn't expect Mr. Xie to also like baseball."

Xie Xi laughed. "I am a sports idiot. I can't play and can only watch."

Jiang Xie liked his laughter and couldn't help listening to the voice message again.

Xie Xi didn't wait for his reply and said, "If you have no time then forget it."

Jiang Xie could only say, "I'm free."

"Then it's settled. I'll pick you up."

Jiang Xie refused. "No, I'll go on my own." In fact, he wanted Xie Xi to pick him up but he was afraid that this would be known to his sister. He didn't want to let his sister know that he and Xie Xi knew each other. He was probably afraid that his sister would see through his thoughts.

The thoughts might be small but he was afraid to admit them at this moment.

The two people met at the stadium and Jiang Xie saw Xie Xi in casual clothing.

Previously, they met at the parties. Don't mention Jiang Xie's female clothing, Xie Xi was also wearing a neat suit. He was handsome but gave off a sense of distance. This was far from his present appearance in a simple t-s.h.i.+rt and pants. Once he looked up, he revealed a white face that seemed younger than Jiang Xie.

Jiang Xie's heart accelerated.

Xie Xi greeted him and joked, "It is really amazing. You are a beautiful woman with makeup and a handsome young man without makeup.

Jiang Xie, "…"

Jiang Xie was Jiang Xie after all. His heart was beating quickly but he still dared to say, "It is amazing. Mr. Xie changed out of a suit and looks two years younger than me."

Xie Xi's eyes slightly widened. "Two years younger than you? Does that mean I only look 15 or 16?"

"Almost."

Xie Xi's eyes curved. "How cheeky."

Jiang Xie's heart jumped to his throat but he was stable. 'If we stand together, other people will think I'm your older brother."

Xie Xi's smile deepened. "Then Brother Xiao Xie, it is time to enter."

Jiang Xie, "…" In the end, it was a defeat since he couldn't answer!

If someone wanted to ask Jiang Xie what happened in the game, they could only ask the people around him.

He tried to restrain himself but Xie Xi was like a strong glue. Jiang Xie's line of sight was fixed to him and couldn't move. Xie Xi clearly knew it but pretended to be unaware.

The two men finished watching the ball game and had dinner together. Xie Xi ordered wine and asked Jiang Xie, "Will you have some?"

"Yes."

Xie Xi laughed. "No, minors aren't allowed to drink."

Jiang Xie, "…"

Xie Xi poured himself a gla.s.s of wine and asked Jiang Xie, "Do you have a driver's license?" A driver's license could be obtained at the age of 16.

"Yes."

"That's good. I will drink and you can drive me back."

Xie Xi didn't let a driver follow him but drove himself. Jiang Xie naturally had no opinion. "Okay, you drink."

Xie Xi drank the bottle of red wine. He was used to fighting this battle for a long time and the wine didn't affect him. He was only slightly tipsy.

On the way back, Jiang Xie drove while Xie Xi sat in the pa.s.senger's seat and unexpectedly fell asleep.

Jiang Xie steadily stopped the car and turned to see this person's sleeping face.

Soft lights, a white face and lips that were bloodstained because of the alcohol. Jiang Xie observed and found that he kissed this person by the time his senses returned.

At this time, Xie Xi let out a light sound.

Collapsing 11 Boundaries 5

Jiang Xie's senses returned and there was some tension in his eyes. Fortunately, Xie Xi didn't wake up. He just changed directions and continued sleeping.

Jiang Xie struggled to calm his heartbeat. Once it completely calmed down, he whispered, "Mr. Xie."

Xie Xi slept soundly.

Jiang Xie's voice became slightly hoa.r.s.er as he called out, "Xie Xi."

He didn't know why but just calling this person's name filled him with an inexplicable trembling that started from his back to the tip of his hair.

The wonderful thing was that Xie Xi opened his eyes. Jiang Xie's heart hardened.

Xie Xi's eyes were blurry. Once he saw Jiang Xie, he spoke with some chagrin. "Oh, look at me. I only drank that much and actually fell asleep."

Jiang Xie steadied himself with effort. "You are too tired."

Xie Xi pinched his brow. "I've been very busy recently."

Jiang Xie's heart moved. "If you are busy, why did you come out to watch the game?"

Xie Xi laughed. "After socializing for a week, I have to find a way to reward myself."

It was a reward to watch the ball game with Jiang Xie? He wasn't a social engagement but a way to relax?

These casual words were more exciting than any sweet talk. This was the defenseless Jiang Xie. How could his heart not be warm?

Xie Xi untied the seat belt and got out of the car. "It is late. I'll have someone send you back."

Jiang Xie also got off the car, trying to let his eyes always remain on this person. "Okay."

On the way back, the corners of Jiang Xie's mouth couldn't be suppressed. He thought about the kiss just now and his heart was soft.

An unimaginable beauty. In addition, this beauty was only the tip of the iceberg.

Jiang Xie closed his eyes and couldn't escape. He liked Xie Xi. Not as a friend but in a love-related way that went against secular ethics.

He was calm after coming to this conclusion. He wanted to be with Xie Xi and wanted to have this person.

Xie Xi watched this memory of the firm and loving teenage Jiang Xie and couldn't help playing it again.

Sure enough, no matter how young and naive, this man was like this. Once he recognized the goal, he would go all out. He wasn't timid but was confident and determined.

After watching it three times, Xie Xi shook his head and laughed. He still thought that Jiang Xie was too silly.

In the memories, the two people had more frequent contact. In the past, Jiang Xie was very resistant to a variety of entertainment since he would have to wear women's clothing. Now he was looking forward to it.

He didn't know if Xie Xi would go but he couldn't hide his happiness if they met.

Xie Xi also protected him everywhere, trying to let him talk less and not become too tangled up with someone else. He was very diligent as the 'flower protector.'

Occasionally, they would sneak out to talk on the balcony. They chatted for a while in this empty place, in the night where they couldn't see the stars.

Xie Xi didn't make any moves but he never refused Jiang Xie's invitation. They talked happily every time, feeling a moment of ease and comfort in this hypocritical entertainment.

Nearly one month later, Jiang Xie raised the courage to invite Xie Xi. He didn't send a message because he felt it wasn't formal enough. Therefore, he made a phone call.

Xie Xi accepted the call after a while. He lowered his voice and wondered, "Xiao Xie?"

Jiang Xie vaguely heard voices on the other end of the line. "Is it inconvenient right now?"

Xie Xi gradually moved away from the other voices and his own volume increased. "I'm in a meeting. There has been no result for an hour."

Jiang Xie felt chagrin. "I disturbed your work."

"No." Xie Xi's tone was relaxed. "I've heard enough."

Jiang Xie's lips slightly curved and his heart was filled with sweetness. "Then do you want to go out for some air?"

"Okay, eat together at noon? I will arrange the place."

"No," Jiang Xie refused. "I have booked a table. You can come over directly."

He really wanted to pick up Xie Xi but this was too eye-catching.

Xie Xi requested, "Where is the reservation? I will go now."

Jiang Xie laughed. "It is only 10 in the morning. Wait another hour."

Xie Xi also laughed. "Look at me being this anxious. It must be because you think too little of me."

Jiang Xie's heart jumped wildly and his throat was dry. "I will take note of Mr. Xie's words and regularly meet you in the future."

Xie Xi's voice through the microphone seemed to carry an electric current. "That would be good."

This routine was too deep…

Xie Xi watched the memories and thought, 'I don't have this ability. Jiang Xie's script writing ability is really excellent!'

Then Xie Xi recalled what happened in Dream Come True and found that he really had been caught a bit easily. The good thing was that Mr Jiang in Dream Come True wasn't a slag. He was just a little beast.

In contrast, the collapsed world was full of malice.

It couldn't be helped. In the face of being abandoned, the souls were forced to think in bad ways.

In the normal quasi-worlds, the tasks might be too pitted and Xie Xi had to pedal N number of boats but the souls always did their best to find reasons for Xie Xi. They strove to cast him as a pure-hearted octopus with difficulties. There was no way, he stepped on so many boats because he had too many feet.

It wasn't the same in the collapsed world. The previous summary was basically that he was a pure slag…

It was up to Xie Xi to turn the tide. Repairer Xie Xi had to carefully repair it!

Xie Xi buried a time bomb and waited for when it almost detonated.

A photo of Xie Xi and 'Miss Jiang' holding hands was sent online.

The headline was shocking: The Chengyu Group and Jiang family's upcoming marriage? Chengyu's Xie Xi and Jiang Hong are secretly engaged.

Jiang Xie's pupils shrank the moment he saw the photo.

It was by the pool after Xie Xi fell into the pool and Jiang Xie rescued him. Thanks to the fall, it was inconvenient for Xie Xi to walk and they held hands as support.

This photo was taken very cleverly. The dim lighting made it impossible to see that the two people were wet. It only showed the intimate posture of the two people holding hands.

This was too much like a couple in love.

If Jiang Xie was really Jiang Hong then he would only be happy to see such news.

However, he wasn't. Xie Xi was the person he liked and Jiang Hong was his sister. He didn't want anyone to misunderstand their relations.h.i.+p.

He was thinking about how to suppress this news. He had just refreshed the page when it was deleted.

Jiang Xie searched for relevant information but the previous page was like an illusion. It didn't exist at all.

At this time, Jiang Xie's phone rang. He just had to listen to the ringtone to know it was Xie Xi. Jiang Xie picked up the phone. "h.e.l.lo."

Xie Xi told him, "I was careless and didn't expect to be photographed. Rest a.s.sured, I have arranged for people to suppress the news."

Jiang Xie was very grateful after hearing the words. "Thank you."

This type of gossip didn't harm Xie Xi at all. It only damaged Jiang Xie's side. After all, Jiang Xie wasn't Jiang Hong. If this was revealed then it would be troublesome.

Xie Xi said, "I didn't think they would directly publish it. The withdrawal was fast but it is estimated that someone still saw it. Your sister…"

"I'll explain it to her clearly."

Xie Xi rea.s.sured him, "You can rest a.s.sured that I won't let things get bigger."

Jiang Xie's heart was hot.

There was a slight pause before Xie Xi continued, "Just in case, we should avoid suspicion. I might not be able to get near you at parties anymore."

"I understand."

Xie Xi spoke again. "In private, we…"

Jiang Xie was very sad but he knew the seriousness of the situation. "We will see each other less."

Xie Xi sighed. "We will still keep in touch."

Jiang Xie hung up and his heart was empty.

He told himself that once he fully adapted to the company's affairs, he could justifiably approach this person with his own ident.i.ty.

This matter was known to Jiang Hong. The news might've disappeared in a flash on the Internet but it was enough to cause a sensation. Jiang Hong directly called Jiang Xie to ask about the photo.

Jiang Xie explained the drowning incident.

Jiang Hong lay on the bed and coughed lightly. She was pale but her eyes were calm. "Xie Xi, this person is an extremely deep river. You should stay far away from him."

These words caused Jiang Xie to frown slightly.

Jiang Hong could reach her current position because she was very good at observation. She instantly captured Jiang Xie's emotion and asked, "Did he deliberately approach you?"

"No, it was just an accident."

Jiang Hong gave him a deep look. "Xiao Xie, I will never interfere with your friends but Xie Xi is too completely. He isn't someone the current you is capable of going against."

Jiang Xie didn't say anything.

Jiang Hong wondered again, "Are you sure he didn't recognize you?"

About the drowning incident, Jiang Xie only said that he used the rescue pole to save Xie Xi and didn't say he jumped down.

Jiang Xie replied, "No."

Jiang Hong smiled. "Good." It seemed his tricks of seducing women were aimed at the wrong place.

Jiang Xie frowned again.

Jiang Hong looked up at him and told him, "Don't look at his young age. When he was your age, he was more ruthless than anyone else in the financial circle."

Jiang Xie wanted to defend Xie Xi but he thought of his sister's temper and said he was the one in the wrong.

Jiang Hong patted Jiang Xie's hand. "Remember, no matter what he does, don't pay attention to him."

Jiang Xie nodded.

Xie Xi saw this and thought, 'Thank you for the support.'

This was a flag and Jiang Xie was a veteran general used to carrying the flag on his back.

The words of Jiang Xie's sister were counterproductive. Xie Xi behaved too naturally and wasn't deliberate at all. It was quite different from the man Jiang Hong spoke about.

The 17 year old boy was too smart and always thought he had enough experience. He was also single-minded about Xie Xi. How could he listen to his sister's advice?

After that, Xie Xi's performance perfectly represented the 'deep river.'

In order to avoid suspicion, he and Jiang Xie maintained a distance at the parties.

This was a type of torture for Jiang Xie. He had been defended too well before and now when he tried to disguise himself, the contrast was great. He also wanted to speak to Xie Xi but couldn't say a few words. It was hard to bear.

His line of sight kept drifting towards Xie Xi's body.

The parties were full of shrewd people. The photo might be hidden from ordinary netizens but it couldn't be hidden from these people.

It might've been deleted from the Internet but the people kept it in mind.

Before they didn't feel it but now that they saw these two people deliberately avoiding each other while gazing at each other, how could they not know?

This was the effect that Despicable Xie wanted. The whole layer was perfectly intertwined.

The outside Xie Xi waited for the final event to erupt and for him to be revealed as not a person.

Once the storm subsided, Jiang Xie's stimulation was great.

On the one hand, he became clearer about his mind. On the other hand, he was aware that he had to speed up the progress if he wanted to pursue Xie Xi. The sooner he took over the family business, the faster he could do what he wanted.

Jiang Hong was relieved by his positive att.i.tude.

No matter how shrewd, Jiang Hong was sick and tired. She wasn't comfortable placing it all on his younger brother but he was the only successor. She could only hand as much as possible over to him before her fall.

This was all part of Xie Xi's plan as he resumed his private meetings with Jiang Xie.

In the past, the two people never talked about work. However, as they became more familiar with each other, Jiang Xie inevitably chatted about his work.

This was Xie Xi's strength. He only needed to speak a few words for Jiang Xie to benefit a lot.

The teenager was strong-minded and the wisdom that Xie Xi showed made him feel even more admiration.

At this time, Xie Xi gradually discovered the internal situation of the Jiang family through Jiang Xie, including the progress of the Lance project…

Taurus' birthday was on May 1st, which happened to be Labor Day.

This was a national holiday and even Jiang Xie and Xie Xi were no exception. Of course, this didn't mean they rested completely like normal employees. They were just more leisurely than usual.

Jiang Xie had steadily taken over the company's affairs and the person who attended several meetings in place of his older sister was more mature and stable.

In just one year, Jiang Xie had grown and was already taller than Xie Xi.

Today was his birthday and Jiang Xie would celebrate in the evening. However, Xie Xi agreed to meet him at noon.

This was the sweetest day for the 18 year old Jiang Xie and also the day when he awakened from the dream.
