Chapter 28

Lu Xiaoqiao didn’t think much about it and sat down next to Zhou Qizhen to watch the movie that had already started playing on the projector. Lin Lin chose a disaster movie, saying that she didn’t dare to watch it normally, but today there were so many people around to give her courage.

The movie was about a global disaster caused by climate change. When it came to the part where everything in the world was about to turn into ice sculptures, Lu Xiaoqiao sat up straight with nervousness and clenched her hands on her legs.

Later, when it came to the part where a hungry wolf came out to look for food and almost pounced on a person, she subconsciously leaned back. However, she didn’t lean against the back of the chair, but fell into a warm and solid embrace. She instantly realized that she had accidentally leaned against Zhou Qizhen, who was sitting next to him, and her posture at this time was as if she was sitting in his arms. She hurriedly moved away and sat down. At that moment, her heartbeat was a little fast, and she was nervous and embarrassed, and a little shy, intertwined, and her cheeks flushed.

Just when I didn’t know what to do, my cell phone rang. I took out my phone and saw that the caller ID showed my aunt. I quickly stood up and walked to the bathroom in the private room. 🆆𝙬𝙬.🆅🅾𝙙🅃𝙬1.ℂ𝙘

Swiped the answer button, adjusted her breath slightly, and said softly: “Hello! Aunt.”

Zhang Minzhi’s voice came from the phone, “Xiao Qiao, where are you? I didn’t see you at all. I didn’t see you when I was eating just now. Your sister Na and Zheng Yan both said that they didn’t see you.”

“Uh, I’m in the bathroom now. Lin Lin, sister Jia and I were watching a movie just now. Aunt, what do you want to talk to me about?”

“Nothing, I just asked. Sun Mei from your department didn’t find you just now. She asked me if I saw you, and she said you didn’t reply to her WeChat message.”

What could sister Sun want to talk to her about? It was nothing more than to match her up with her brother. Zhao Jia went to the bathroom outside the private room before, and came back to tell her that she saw sister Sun’s brother. Knowing this, she would not go out even more.

“Oh, I’ll ask her what’s going on next time.”

“Well, I’ll be back soon. Be careful if you stay here tonight. I’ve booked a private room in the sleeping area. Your sister Na is with Zheng Yan. I’ll let Zheng Yan call you when it’s ready.” Lu Xiaoqiao sighed helplessly. It would be a miracle if she could really get a call from Zheng Yan. But she still said softly, “I know, auntie, don’t worry.”

Zhang Minzhi hung up the phone without saying anything else.

Looking at herself in the mirror on the sink, her cheeks seemed to be a little hot. She came to the sink, turned on the faucet and splashed it on her face a few times.

When she turned the handle of the bathroom door and was about to go out, she was startled by Zhou Qi who stood at the door without knowing when.

“Boss Zhou, you need to use the bathroom? I’m ready, go ahead.”

Lu Xiaoqiao said, but he didn’t move. She looked up at him. She really looked up. She didn’t notice it at other times, but now that they were standing close to each other, the height difference was immediately obvious.

“Did your aunt call you?”

He didn’t mean to eavesdrop. It was mainly because of the little episode that happened when they were watching a movie on the sofa just now. Just because of Lu Xiaoqiao’s unintentional leaning, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Before he could react, she turned and ran away!

The disappointment in his heart was self-evident. Although he knew she was answering the phone, he couldn’t help but follow her.

“Well, my aunt asked why she hasn’t seen me outside.”

“Do you want me to explain to your aunt?”

Hearing that he wanted to see his aunt, Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head and said, “You must not go.”

Zhou Qizhen said a little disappointedly, “I am very shameful?”

“No, the main thing is that if you go, Lin Lin’s identity will be exposed.”

Seeing that it was not because he was not good enough to prevent him from seeing her family, Zhou Qizhen was relieved, but still said in a gentle voice: “Sooner or later, you will see them.”

Lu Xiaoqiao thought he was talking about Lin Lin’s identity and did not respond to him.

At this time, the movie was over.

Li Yuxuan suggested going to the sauna. Everyone was wearing hot spring clothes and could go in directly. Only Zhou Qizhen was left standing there in a shirt and trousers.

Lu Xiaoqiao asked in confusion, “Mr. Zhou is not going?” She was confused before, why did people let him in without changing clothes.

Li Yuxuan smiled playfully: “The only one who can see Lao Zhou’s body is his future wife.”

“Ah? You don’t need to take off your clothes to take a sauna, just wear this.” Lu Xiaoqiao said and pulled the hot spring suit on her body.

“No arms or legs, no exposure at all. Don’t worry about him, let’s go.”

Lu Xiaoqiao said embarrassedly: “Is that so!”

Then he suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help laughing.

“What are you laughing at?”

Lu Xiaoqiao tried hard to hold back his laughter, and frowned in a serious manner, “I’m not laughing! You saw it wrong.”

After that, he ran away quickly. If he didn’t run away, would he tell him that Mr. Zhou would be finished in our Northeast? 🅆𝓦𝕎.𝙑🄾🅳𝙩𝓦1.𝙘𝘾

In winter, you can’t take a shower at home, you have to go to the bathhouse to take a shower. It’s all white inside, and if he comes out after taking a shower, he will probably be depressed.

Several people went to the sauna, leaving Zhou Qizhen alone in the private room to work.

When they came out, they took another shower each, and chose dinner on the tablet, and then asked the staff to deliver it to the private room.

Before going to bed, Zhou Qizhen said that he had asked for another private room next door for sleeping, and asked the three girls to sleep there.

Until lying on the tatami, Lu Xiaoqiao did not receive a call from Zheng Wen or Li Na. It is estimated that the two did not need to discuss it, and they united as a team with just one look.

The next day.

When Lu Xiaoqiao opened her eyes, she looked at her phone and found that it was almost ten o’clock. They watched a movie too late yesterday and had a midnight snack. The three of them didn’t fall asleep until after two in the morning. She hurriedly sat up and called the two people who were still sleeping soundly next to her.

“Jia Jie, Lin Lin, you two, wake up quickly, it’s over! It’s almost ten o’clock, it’s over time.”

They came in at around nine in the morning yesterday. The group purchase coupons bought by the company are for 24 hours, which means that they should have left before nine o’clock today, but now it’s over time, and they must pay the difference themselves.

The two seemed to be still asleep and had no intention of getting up. “I’ll go see if Mr. Zhou and the others have gotten up. You two should get up quickly too.”

Lu Xiaoqiao came to the private room next door and knocked on the door twice. It was Zhou Qizhen who opened the door. He was on the phone at the moment. He raised his hand to signal her to come in.

After entering, she found that Zhou Qizhen was the only one in the private room. The other two had gone somewhere unknown.

Lu Xiaoqiao sat on the sofa and waited for him to finish the call. Resting here was definitely not as good as at home.

But even so, the man in front of her still looked refreshed and not tired at all. He was in excellent condition, and the clothes he wore were not the same as yesterday. Although they were all dark colors and similar styles, they were gray yesterday and pure black today.

Zhou Qizhen hung up the phone, walked to the sofa, and looked down at Lu Xiaoqiao, who was still a little sleepy and confused.

“You’re still asleep? What time did you go to bed last night?”

Lu Xiaoqiao raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, yawning and saying, “It’s around two in the morning, where are Brother Li and Zhao Zhizhi?”

Seeing her cheeks slightly flushed because she had just woken up, her watery eyes revealed a bit of confusion and innocence.

At this moment, Zhou Qizhen’s eyes were full of tenderness and pampering, wondering how she could be so cute without waking up.

His heart became extremely soft because of her, and his tone was unspeakably pampering: “They are having breakfast outside, if you are not awake, then sleep a little longer.”

“No, it’s overtime, and you have to pay extra to go out later.”

Zhou Qizhen bent down and sat down casually on the sofa next to her, “I’ll arrange it, come back when you wake up.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.

“Hey! Sister Xiaoqiao is awake?!”
