Chapter 14

Zhou Qizhen hung up the phone and looked up at Lu Xiaoqiao squatting on the ground in front of him.

Today, she tied her hair into a French ponytail with a black rubber band, and her soft hair fell naturally on both sides. The skirt she wore was more formal than yesterday, but it was still beautiful.

His eyes accidentally swept to the small part of her white and slender waist that was exposed due to squatting, and it was like touching a hot coal fire, and he bounced away instantly.

After a while, realizing that she was picking up the glass fragments on the ground, he quickly stood up and whispered, “Don’t do it, don’t prick your hand, someone will come to clean it up later.”

“It’s okay, I’ll throw the big pieces into the trash can first. I can’t find a broom, otherwise I won’t have to trouble the housekeeping.”

Seeing that he was about to come over, Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly dissuaded him, “Okay, I’ve done it, Mr. Zhou, don’t come over, or you will prick your foot again later.” 🆆𝙒𝕎.𝓥🄾𝔻𝙏𝓦1.𝙘🄲After

Lu Xiaoqiao finished cleaning up, she made a cup of honey water and placed it on the table in front of Zhou Qizhen: “Mr. Zhou, is your stomach still hurting? Drink some honey water to sober up first.”

Zhou Qizhen took the cup: “Thank you! I’m much better now. You should sit down and have a rest.”

“Oh, okay.”

The two of them sat on the sofa, with enough space between them for two more people. Even so, Zhou Qizhen could still smell her nice hair fragrance.

Lu Xiaoqiao didn’t know what to talk about due to the awkwardness just now. She ignored the people next to her and just lowered her head to send a message to Lin Lin asking her how long it would take her to come back.

Zhou Qizhen spent a long time preparing himself mentally, and just when he was about to say something, he saw Lu Xiaoqiao standing up from the sofa.

“Where are you going?” he asked hurriedly.

Lu Xiaoqiao pointed to the kitchen: “I’ll go check on the porridge, it’s almost ready.”

After hearing this, Zhou Qizhen didn’t say anything, but he sighed in his heart, is it ready so soon?

When Lu Xiaoqiao was serving the porridge, Lin Lin and Li Yuxuan came back.

“Brother Li, the porridge is ready. I’ll go back first if there’s nothing else.”

Li Yuxuan had no reason to keep him, so he could only reply: “Okay, thank you, Xiaoqiao.”

“It’s okay, Brother Li, you are too polite.” After Lu Xiaoqiao finished speaking, he said to Zhou Qizhen who was sitting there drinking porridge: “Mr. Zhou, you should take care of your rest. Don’t forget to take medicine after drinking porridge. Lin Lin and I will leave first.”

“Well, you can take those fruits back to eat.” Zhou Qizhen said and pointed to the fruit platter that the hotel had just sent over.

Lu Xiaoqiao was not polite either, thanked him and Lin Lin and left with the fruit.

After the two of them left, Li Yuxuan turned around, his face full of playful expressions, his eyes staring straight at Zhou Qizhen who was drinking porridge.

“Is it delicious?”

Seeing that Zhou Qizhen ignored him, he continued: “How is it? Doesn’t this porridge have a taste of love? It’s more effective than your painkillers! Hey! What did you two talk about just now? Is there any progress?”

Zhou Qizhen glanced at him: “You talk too much.”

“Can’t I ask?”

“It’s getting late, go back quickly.”

Zhou Qizhen drove him away, and Li Yuxuan didn’t care at all, and even said jokingly: “Hey, you are a person who crosses the river and destroys the bridge! Okay, okay, I’m leaving, as if I will steal your porridge.”

…

At night.

Zhou Qizhen was in a trance in his sleep and saw the figure that made him dream again, that white waist like jade, incredibly slender, that waist that could be grasped tightly, as if it could attract his eyes tightly, unable to move away, making him sink into it, unable to extricate himself, wanting to be intoxicated in it forever, unwilling to wake up.

However, just when he was intoxicated in this warm moment, without any warning, she disappeared in his arms!

“Don’t go.”

Zhou Qi was awakened from his dream. He sat up suddenly, gasping for breath, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, and his eyes still showed the panic and reluctance from the dream.

He sat for a long time before his breathing calmed down. He slowly lifted the quilt and looked down. A trace of helplessness and self-mockery flashed across his face. He sighed deeply. He had lived for thirty-two years, and this was the first time he felt so absurd.

He got up and went to the bathroom, turned on the shower head, and the warm water poured down, hitting his strong body, but it didn’t seem to work. After coming out of the bathroom, he did another hundred push-ups, and then took a cold shower to calm his anger.

…

The next day.

The morning light shone through the gap in the curtains and sprinkled into the room.

Lin Lin and Zhao Jia had already gotten up, but Lu Xiaoqiao was still lazily lying on the bed, with no intention of getting up. 🆆𝙒𝙬.𝙑🄾𝙙𝙩𝙒1.🄲🅲

“I can’t open my eyes. You two wait for me. I’ll be up soon.”

Lin Lin applied sunscreen on her face and urged, “Hurry up, Xiao Qiao. My uncle called and asked us to go upstairs for breakfast. There are many things you like. Hurry up and get up!”

Zhao Jia, who was not wearing makeup, had already sat on the stool waiting for the two of them: “What did you do yesterday? We slept together, why haven’t you woken up yet?”

Lu Xiaoqiao slowly crawled out of the bed with messy hair, and muttered, “Don’t mention it, you two “I slept soundly, but I had to go to the bathroom seven times in one night, seven times! It’s all because I ate too much watermelon! I will never eat watermelon at night again!”

Zhao Jia was sitting on a stool playing with her mobile phone without raising her head: “There was such a big fruit platter with more than ten kinds of fruits, but you chose to eat watermelon. You should be happy that your eyes are not swollen.”

Lu Xiaoqiao dragged her heavy steps to the bathroom and gently turned on the faucet. She scooped up a handful of water with both hands and poured it on her face without hesitation, until the cool touch made her chaotic brain clear.

While rubbing the facial cleanser in her palms to make bubbles, she shouted to Lin Lin outside: “Are we going to eat alone, or with your uncle and others?”

Lin Lin was carefully packing her makeup tools into her makeup bag one by one. When she heard Lu Xiaoqiao’s question, she replied without raising her head: “I don’t know. Anyway, he just called me and told me to go there for breakfast after we get up.” Afraid that

Lu Xiaoqiao would refuse, she raised her head, looked in the direction of the bathroom, and said with a smile: “Xiao Qiao, its just breakfast. You don’t have to be so polite. You even helped my uncle cook porridge yesterday.” After Lu Xiaoqiao finished packing, they took the elevator to the restaurant on the middle floor of the hotel building.

Arriving at the hotel’s buffet breakfast area, although it was just breakfast, the variety was rich and varied, and the bright and warm lights fell on the neatly arranged dining table.

Zhao Jia glanced around the hall and said, “It seems that there are no empty seats! There are the most people during this time period.”

“My uncle has reserved a seat for us at the innermost table. Let’s go over there quickly.”

The three came to the table where Zhou Qizhen was sitting and found that he was the only one sitting there.

“Morning, Mr. Zhou, why are you alone? Brother Li and Secretary Ding have finished eating?”

Zhou Qizhen raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao. Because of last night’s dream, he saw her at this moment, his face was a little unnatural, “Well, they have finished eating.”

Zhou Qizhen had already occupied a seat at the four-person table, and Lin Lin sat down next to him. Zhao Jia chose the seat opposite Lin Lin, and Lu Xiaoqiao could only sit in the seat opposite Zhou Qizhen.

No one spoke at the table, and Lu Xiaoqiao lowered her head to eat the tea egg in her hand.

“Where are you going today?” Zhou Qizhen glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao who was drinking porridge and continued, “I’m not busy today. I’ll arrange where you want to go.”

After hearing what he said, Lu Xiaoqiao and Lin Lin looked at each other. Finally, Lin Lin bit the bullet and said, “Uncle, you go and do your thing. Let’s go to the food street. It’s so noisy there and I’m afraid you won’t be used to it.”

When Zhou Qizhen heard what Lin Lin said, he frowned and said, “Why go to such a messy place?”

Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly explained, “It’s not a safety issue. Lin Lin said that there are so many people there and she’s afraid that you won’t be used to it. Don’t worry, Mr. Zhou. Sister Jia and I will take good care of Lin Lin. There will definitely be no accidents.”

Zhao Jia also echoed from the side, “Yes, don’t worry, Mr. Zhou!”

Seeing the three of them singing the same tune, it showed how much they didn’t want him to follow and didn’t want to affect everyone’s interest. Finally, Zhou Qizhen said he would assign them a driver.

Knowing that he would not go with her, Lin Lin said happily, “Thank you, uncle.”

Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia also thanked Zhou Qizhen.
