Chapter 2: What’s there to show off!

Bai Sheng felt that Lu Xiao was really honest, and since meeting him that day, he has always sat across from Bai Sheng’s seat at lunch. On the first day of work, when Bai Sheng arrived there with a lunch box, Lu Xiao straightened up.

“Ge!” Lu Xiao grinned and waved his hands. The weather is nice these days, Lu Xiao has his back to the window, and Bai Sheng’s eyes were dazzled by his smile.

“Ge, I brought you oranges.” Before Bai Sheng could refuse, the person had already handed up the bag. Bai Sheng went upstairs with a lunch box, and returned with a paper bag full of oranges. Zhang Yichen is the first to get the news.

“Yo, is this for a stock?”

“Take one.”

“No, peeling oranges is too troublesome. What about that Alpha?”

“Chen Yan brought him here.”

“You didn’t know him before?”

Bai Sheng thought about it but couldn’t remember, “He is Chen Yan’s junior in university.”

.

Chen Yan did not always come to find Bai Sheng for lunch, but Lu Xiao was always there on time. Bai Sheng also made more dishes, and the lunch box gradually moved forward until it was placed between the two of them.

After lunch, Bai Sheng went back to take an orange from the drawer. He didn’t know how many days had passed like this. Finally, as he left work at night, Bai Sheng looked at the deflated paper bag and pondered, “How many oranges are there…”

In the end, he still couldn’t count it. The next day, Bai Sheng stared blankly at the undrawn seat opposite him, then at his own lunch box. Alas, the dishes are too much for him to eat alone.

Bai Sheng hadn’t seen Lu Xiao for two consecutive days. When he got off work, he folded up the empty paper bag and took it home. On the way, he suddenly thought of Lu Xiao. The longest meal at noon is only twenty minutes. Apart from that, they don’t seem to have any other contacts. He doesn’t understand. How many days have gone by like this? Bai Sheng thought about it for a long time.

Is this finding a meal partner? Should he send a message to ask whether he needs to cook an extra dish? He really can’t eat it by himself.

Bai Sheng’s thoughts kept going back and forth, from the company to home, and he even went to the supermarket to buy a bag of oranges. After washing, he drank a glass of warm water and tapped his phone’s screen twice with his fingertips. Forget it, they have nothing to do with each other, sending him a message like this is too abrupt.

.

In the past few days, Bai Sheng had always gone out to do some business with the cooperative company, and it was already late at noon when he finished. On his way back, he stopped at the stir-fry restaurant he often went to.

“Xiao Bai!” Chen Yan sat where Bai Sheng wanted to sit, and there was a boy sitting opposite him.

“Why are you here to eat at this hour?” Chen Yan quickly drew out the chair next to him, and asked the waiter to place an order.

“Just got off work. This is?”

“Ah, let me introduce, this is Bai Sheng, this is Bai Qiming” The person sitting opposite him smiled and greeted him softly.

“It’s quite a coincidence, you both have the surname Bai.” Chen Yan added with a smile.

He originally preferred eating alone, but he didn’t expect to run into Chen Yan. Looking at the food on the table, they should be almost done eating.

“You’ve finished eating, go back to work first. I’ll treat you two to a meal when I have time.”

Bai Qiming felt that it was impolite and was just about to speak, “Okay, Xiao Bai, we’ll go first. Waiter, please clean up here. “

“Chen Ge, it’s not good to just leave your friend like this.” Bai Qiming looked at the side, and Chen Yan suddenly stopped, said a few words into the receiver, and continued to walk forward.

“Hm? Don’t worry about him, we used to go to that place often.”

“You two have a good relationship.” Bai Qiming listened to Chen Yan’s message, [Xiao Bai, I’ve paid the bill, you can just leave after eating.]

“Oh, we’re old schoolmates, you can say we grew up together.”

“Really, that’s great.”

“We can take you along to eat in the future.” Chen Yan stared at Bai Qiming, “If you’re willing, I’ll introduce you to my friends.”

Bai Qiming’s face is a little red, “Ah? Is that okay? It’s your friend after all, why take me with you~”

“What’s the matter, you can do whatever you like. What do you think?” Chen Yan shamelessly moved forward.

“Let’s- let’s go, get back to work.”

.

Bai Sheng went back to the company, and assistant Zhang had just sorted out the documents, “Eh, director, why are you back?”

Other employees in the department saw Bai Sheng and said hello, and continued to pack their things.

“Team leader!” The intern froze when he saw the director, “Let’s get to work, don’t clean up.”

“It’s okay, don’t worry. The director will leave in a while. The workload will increase tomorrow, you’ll need to work hard. Just go home and rest this afternoon.” The intern nodded blankly.

“The work has been arranged. You may need to work overtime starting tomorrow, at least an hour. This case will be over within a week. I will accompany you to talk about the contract tomorrow.”

Assistant Zhang reported the itinerary, looking at Bai Sheng listlessly.

“What’s the matter, are you sleepy after lunch?”

“It’s okay.”

“I’m off work now, just say it.”

“Do you remember the alpha you mentioned?”

Assistant Zhang immediately sat up straight, “The one who ate with you?”

“Yes, is he from our building?”

“That’s it? I’ve never seen him before, so he shouldn’t be from our company.”

“Oh.” Assistant Zhang looked at Bai Sheng, his eyelids drooped again,

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go to the nurse, I’m running late.”

“Hey, do you think I should send him a message?” Assistant Zhang raised his eyebrows and looked at the director blabbering alone, “After all, he gave me fruits. I haven’t seen him at lunch these days, it’s not rude to ask him, right?”

Assistant Zhang was about to speak when he was interrupted by a notification tone.

[Ge, I don’t have time to eat with you these few days, so can I go to your house on weekends?]

“He sent me a message. He said he was busy. What do you think I should say? Do we have a get-together on weekends?” After speaking, Bai Sheng lowered his head again, deleted before sending out the message, and muttered the sentence [No time on weekends]

“Hey, do you think this would work?”

Why didn’t anyone speak? Bai Sheng quickly raised his head. His assistant leaned on the chair, leaned his upper body forward again, and sized him up and down. He smashed his lips, didn’t speak, glanced at him again, then turned around and left. What a load of BS! What’s there to show off!

[What the writer wants to say:]

Lu Xiao has been staring at the phone dialog box for two days straight, and his friend Shen Qing couldn’t help it anymore, “No way, is this thing a magic mirror!? Will you feel full if you f—ing stare at it, or will it grant your wish!?”

It’s so childish!

Lu Xiao sent a sentence after much deliberation, quickly turned off the screen, and secretly sneaked a glance. His brother really couldn’t help it anymore, “Let him be, he’s bewitched.”
