The Stars In Your Eyes

Bai Yutang is glad that the firm he worked at just started to be busy after Bai Yuren already went back to W city.

Previously, his firm participated in one big tender for a school project that will be built next year. This tender involves three other firms competing with each other. The other firm competing in this tender is the firm where Fei Hong does her internship.

The tender preparation finished last week, and the firm where Bai Yutang and Tang Yuxuan work won the bid. Now they're busy starting to work on this project. For the senior architects working there, the hell is where they prepare for the tender and try to win the tender. But for the junior architects and the interns, the hell is when the project starts..

There's thousands of details, and long working hours. Lately they are always working from 8 am to 8 pm, sometimes even until 10 pm. Because of that, Jian Kang Lu nowadays always picks Bai Yutang from the firm and they have dinner together outside. Often Tang Yuxuan and Fei Hong join them for dinner.

How could Fei Hong join them for dinner together? That's because Fei Hong's firm is located in the office building next to Bai Yutang's firm. Thus they often meet together and lament about their hard time together. This resulted in both Tang Yuxuan and Fei Hong getting closer, because they went to the firm from the dorm and went back home together everyday.

At first, Bai Yutang is speechless when his lover turns into a bad mood once again the first time they have dinner together with Fei Hong. The reason? The same reason for their fight because of Feng Mian. Jealousy.

If someone needs to be jealous, definitely it has to be him. Almost all the female architects in his place, including Fei Hong herself, asked about Jian Kang Lu when they saw him pick Bai Yutang for the first time. Many of them thought Jian Kang Lu was his relative or his brother.

This is because Jian Kang Lu once showed up in the firm when he picked him up and brought many snacks and drinks to them while politely saying, "Hello, i came to pick Bai Yutang. These all for your hard work and to accompany your over time. Thank you for taking care of our Bai Yutang all this time."

The next morning, all of them surround him and rain him with thousands of questions.

"Yutang, who was that handsome man who picked you up last night? Your brother? Your cousin?"

"Why didn't you guys look alike?"

"Your friend? Where does he work?"

"Is he single?"

"Is he an architect too?"

"A doctor? How come my doctor didn't look like that? Where does he work?"

Even some of them tease him by saying they won't give Bai Yutang too much work if Bai Yutang gives Jian Kang Lu's contact to them. And these cruel big sisters laugh so loud when Bai Yutang stammering said that he can't give Jian Kang Lu's contact to them.

These girls look so serious when they work, but outside of the working part, they like to tease Bai Yutang so much. Bai Yutang didn't understand. Tang Yuxuan is definitely more handsome than him, but why do these big sisters keep pestering him?

One of them told him that it was very satisfying to see his red face every time they tease him. And also they prefer to see the handsome mature man like Jian Kang Lu compared to the handsome little brother like Tang Yuxuan. So they will follow him out and wave their hands to Jian Kang Lu if he picks Bai Yutang up in the office.

Bai Yutang knows that some of these big sisters are not serious and just like to tease him, while refreshing their eyes by looking at a handsome man. But, some of them really look at his lover with a different kind of gaze in their eyes. Coveting his man. 

Every night, these girls will turn their zombie face in the day into a fairy at night.

"How come we let your handsome big brother see our real face?" They said in unison when Bai Yutang and Tang Yuxuan were shocked to see them applying makeup for the first time.

Even though Bai Yutang told them that Jian Kang Lu was not his friend, they still call Jian Kang Lu as his big brother.

"Can you imagine, if that big brother of yours treats a little friend like you this way, then he must treat his girlfriend much better than this. Oh I'm so jealous of that woman. Wish my own boyfriend had the conscience to pick me up from work everyday."

Because of Jian Kang Lu, Bai Yutang is now often surrounded with these big sisters and receive their order. That left Tang Yuxuan to receive the order from the senior male architects. They just look at Bai Yutang with pity in their eyes.

After those first two days where Jian Kang Lu showed up and resulted with Bai Yutang pestered by these ferocious sisters, Bai Yutang told Jian Kang Lu to wait for him in the parking lot, and dare not show up in his office. 

But then one of this big sisters saw Jian Kang Lu in the parking lot, pick him up. This led to their loud chirps, pestering him more to let them see Jian Kang Lu again.

This made Bai Yutang look at his lover resentfully every time his lover picked him up. His lover defended himself by saying, "I just thought you and your senior must be tired working over time almost everyday. When I was in my residency, if someone visited and brought us food and drinks, it will soothe our soul and brighten our night shifts. Thus I brought that for your colleague. Don't be mad, TangTang..."

Fei Hong also joined this fans club, including the senior female in her firm.

"Yutang, I can't believe you didn't introduce Jian Ge to me before we applied for the internship. And why have you never told me that he introduced you guys to Zhen Guo before? I really want to meet Zhen Guo, that genius architect." Fei Hong looks at him with envy and regret once she knows that Zhen Guo is Jian Kang Lu's friend.

Bai Yutang blamed Tang Yuxuan for this. He thought that they already agreed not to tell anyone about how Jian Kang Lu introduced them to Zhen Guo. Tang Yuxuan just diverted his eyes and ran away from him when Bai Yutang asked for his explanation.

With all of these girls looking at his man with those bright eyes, how could Jian Kang Lu be the one to turn into a sour mood when they have dinner together with Fei Hong for the first time? Bai Yutang is already tired from all the work, and his own mood is also sour from his female senior comments while eyeing his lover.

This turned them into a cold war that whole night, and Bai Yutang punished Jian Kang Lu with three days of not cooking for breakfast. Even though his lover was already pleading and asking for forgiveness the next morning, Bai Yutang still punished him.

"Gege, I can't believe you. How on earth could you feel jealous with Fei Hong while she's the one that keeps looking at you the whole dinner? I'm the one who should be jealous!"

"I know i was wrong. Can you just forgive me, TangTang. Please don't be mad at me anymore." Jian Kang Lu can only plead and look at his kitten with puppy eyes, hoping his kitten forgives his childish act soon.

But even though his kitten gave him a cold shoulder for three days, Jian Kang Lu was glad that he still could hold his kitten the whole night they're sleeping together. No matter what, he needs to hold his kitten in his arms every night just to make sure this man is not just his illusion.

Time flies, Bai Yutang and Tang Yuxuan finally finish their internship for two months in that firm. Liu Xiang also comes back to life from that hellish pit. He lost 3 kg while working there in Zhen Guo's firm. Their senior managed to be accepted in that firm as a junior architect with 3 months probation time. It was no surprise, since he really is a prodigy and hard working person.

Jian Kang Lu invited all of them for dinner as a celebration for finishing their internship. Fei Hong also joined the dinner. Jian Kang Lu is just smiling and listening to these students talking lively about their experience.

"Jian Ge, I want to badmouth one of the seniors there, please don't tell Zhen Guo." Liu Xiang said before he rambled about this evil senior of him. It's rare for Liu Xiang badmouthing people, unlike Tang Yuxuan. But Bai Yutang felt that Liu Xiang was reasonable to hate this senior.

Liu Xiang's seniors like to point out his faults and say "In this field, you can't depend only on your face. You need real talent and capability." Those words repeated day by day. 

Fei Hong laughed when she heard that and said that Liu Xiang's senior must be ugly.

Liu Xiang smirked, "I used to see faces like Jian Ge here, of course all my seniors there look like toads compared to our Jian Ge."

Jian Kang Lu smiled and said, "You don't need to flatter me like that. I already said I will pay for dinner tonight. If you want to order some more, just order. No need to drag me into this."

Liu Xiang hurriedly call for the waitress and order more expensive beer for them.

At the end of dinner, Liu Xiang is already drunk and keeps hugging Jian Kang Lu saying thank you for letting him have the opportunity to fulfil one of his dreams. Working under Zhen Guo is one of unforgettable memories for Liu Xiang, and will add to his resume as an achievement. These words repeated over and over, make Fei Hong look at Liu Xiang with envy.

"Jian Ge, please introduce me to Zhen Guo.. I really want to try to apply there again next year." Fei Hong already tipsy and says those things that occupied her mind lately with a begging tone.

Jian Kang Lu speechless, and just nod. He warns Fei Hong that he can't interfere with the process, but he can try to invite them one day to have dinner together with Zhen Guo. This resulted in Fei Hong almost crying and nodding her head frantically.

"Even though i can't work there someday, at least i want to meet Zhen Guo in person once in my life." Fei Hong choked when she said these lines.

They separated there in the restaurant. Tang Yuxuan, Liu Xiang, and Fei Hong going back together to the dorm.

On the way back home, Bai Yutang kissed his lover softly on his cheek. That made his lover surprised, and smiled gently while tousling his hair.

"Gege, thank you. I know Liu Xiang could work there because of his own capability. But without you, maybe he can't have that opportunity. Thank you.."

Jian Kang Lu just smiled. He really didn't do anything except accidentally introduce them. But he knows what his kitten means.

Bai Yutang also tipsy from all those alcohol they drank that night. He put his head on his lover's shoulder, smelling the familiar scent from his lover's. He felt happy. It's nice to have someone that not only takes care of you, but also kind and care about the people around you.

Just like his lover did.
