Summary
When Vein first laid eyes on Xia Fei, his traitorous heart stuttered in his chest. Simply out of minor infatuation with a pretty face, of course, but it was surprising enough to startle him. Xia Fei came to him as this awkward, reticent college student in need of a job and, despite the nervous energy vibrating his frame, seemed determined enough to be there.
“I heard you were hiring models here. So.” He keeps his eyes focused on something behind Vein’s head as he toys with the sleeve of jacket. “So here I am.”
Vein smiles, unable to contain his interest. “Here you are.”

Summary
They spend the better part of the morning like that—working quietly and soaking up the feeling of each other’s presence. Vein responds to emails and looks through work-related documents with as much enthusiasm as a death row inmate, but the experience is made less tedious every time Xia Fei fidgets against him. Even the low, monotonous drawl of the applied physics lecture is welcome. It’s soothing background noise, punctuated every so often by the gentle sighs that leave Xia Fei’s lips.
Or, it is soothing background noise until it stops suddenly and Vein feels Xia Fei staring at him.
“Taking a break?”
When Vein looks at him, he’s surprised to see worry etched into his brow. He’d figured Xia Fei’s fidgeting was out of irritation with his schoolwork, but there’s more to it than that. On closer inspection, Vein notices that the skin around Xia Fei’s thumbs has been picked raw.
“Uh. Kind of. Boss?”

Summary
Xia Fei isn’t sure when he started loving Vein, or what parts of him he fell in love with first. It sort of felt like an instantaneous thing, like one second he was nursing a hopeless crush on his boss and the next it was as if the sun didn’t shine on days without him. But he’s sure that if he looks deep enough he’ll find the answer as to how such a bizarre, eccentric man became the object of his affection.
