Chapter 14: Dog Man Lu Chiyuan: He didn’t call me cub…
Jiang Chen cracked.
He never thought that what Lu Chiyuan called overtime was real overtime.
Because of Shen Zhiyi's problem, Lu Chiyuan was unable to carry out his work, so he moved his office from the company to Xu Chen's villa.
After get off work, Lu Mingxuan brought him the documents that needed to be processed, as well as some daily necessities. It seemed that he would be living here for a short period of time.
Uncle Lin asked someone to send over some clean clothes, including some for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen felt embarrassed to refuse, so he didn't mention going home again.
Isn't it just overtime? It's not like he hasn't worked overtime before. Who hasn't had a period as a worker?
A few hours later, Jiang Chen looked at the several file windows opened on the computer, his eyes went dark.
Why is this document getting longer and longer? And he is so hungry!
Jiang Chen looked out the window and saw the street lights in the community were all bright. It was indeed a quiet place with no noise. The quiet atmosphere often made people quiet and difficult to be disturbed.
If it weren't for his rumbling stomach and the dizziness from reading the documents, Jiang Chen wouldn't have been distracted. He raised his hand to check the time. It was already past eight o'clock.
[Qiuqiu, is it illegal to feed travelers in your world? ]
Since Jiang Chen came to this world, he has been hungry for nine meals out of three days. He is not a very particular person, but he really can't stand this frequency of eating.
Xueqiu sympathized with him: [Your boss is a workaholic. You need to learn how to arrange your meal times, otherwise you will easily get hungry.]
[I am hungry, isn't he hungry? He is not made of iron. ]
Jiang Chen realized that this wouldn't work. He couldn't bear it after just three days. If it continued like this, would Lu Chiyuan's body be able to handle it?
Jiang Chen decided to do it himself and have enough food and clothing.
He closed the document and went downstairs to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.
Opened the refrigerator, empty.
Opened the cupboard, empty.
Opened the freezer, empty.
Jiang Chen: “…”
Only now did Jiang Chen understand what Lu Chiyuan meant when he said Xu Chen didn't live here.
This home is very new, including the kitchen, everything is the same as when it was first bought. But even if there is nothing, the housekeeper still chose to connect it to electricity.
Jiang Chen leaned against the clean, new stove and remained silent for a long while.
[If I remember correctly, Lu Chiyuan did not ask the driver to keep the car. ]
The driver lived in the Lu family's old house, and Lu Chiyuan asked him to go back.
Jiang Chen's car was still in the hospital parking lot, and the car that Lu Chiyuan usually used was scrapped due to a car accident.
Even if Jiang Chen wanted to go out and buy it now, it would not be possible. Their location was far away from the main road and it was almost impossible to get a taxi.
[I am really impressed! ]
Jiang Chen's stomach ached from hunger, so he opened the food delivery app on his phone and looked through a huge array of colorful food. After looking through them, he didn't find anything he wanted to eat.
"Qiuqiu, I think I can't do it anymore."
Jiang Chen pressed his abdomen and the pain intensified. He took a deep breath and walked out of the kitchen.
Xueqiu said worriedly: [The original body offended Chen Jiu, and he always made things difficult for me, asking me to run errands during mealtimes, which caused the original body to have irregular diet for a long time and suffer from stomachache. Host, you have been skipping meals these past two days, which has caused your stomach disease to relapse.]
[I have detected that the nearest pharmacy is two kilometers away from you. According to your walking habits, you can get there in about half an hour. ]
"Half an hour, it's not very far."
Jiang Chen looked out the window, went to the shoe cabinet to change his shoes, and prepared to go out. He was in pain and hungry, so it was best to go out.
"where did you go?"
Lu Chiyuan's voice came from behind. He stood at the stairs and looked at Jiang Chen.
[Go buy some medicine, brother! You are truly a living god, but I am not.]
Jiang Chen said, "I'm hungry. I'm going to go out and see if there's anything to eat. What does Brother Lu want to eat? I'll bring it for you."
"No need to go out, wait two more minutes, I'll let Uncle Lin and the others prepare." Lu Chiyuan was not such a black-hearted boss as to not give them food, it was just that it would take time for Uncle Lin and the others to come over.
It was his mistake not to consider the issue of food at the beginning.
"If you feel uncomfortable, take a rest and don't run around." Lu Chiyuan heard the voices of Jiang Chen and Xueqiu and knew that he had a stomachache, so he asked Uncle Lin to buy medicine on the way.
However, in order to achieve his own goal, he still needs to mention it.
Jiang Chen's mood was in hell one moment and in heaven the next. He and Lu Chiyuan looked at each other from afar and he felt that his hesitation just now was too ridiculous.
Lu Chiyuan stood on the upper floor, and Jiang Chen had to look up at him and be looked down upon by him.
For some reason, he hated this distance and the way Lu Chiyuan looked down at him.
In the book, he is the second male lead who Jiang Chen empathizes with. Jiang Chen writes reviews and rewards him, hoping that he can survive and have his own life.
In reality, he is Jiang Chen's immediate superior, and any trouble that Jiang Chen sees can be solved with just a flick of his finger.
He doesn't need Jiang Chen to empathize with him, nor will he empathize with Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen had a deeper understanding of the boundaries between them, and at the same time, he felt a subtle sense of gap in his heart.
The source of this gap is the inequality between identities.
"Brother Lu, can you take me to the hospital when Uncle Lin comes over? My car is still in the hospital and I want to go home." Jiang Chen asked with a smile, suppressing his discomfort.
Lu Chiyuan was a little surprised. He didn't hear any voice from Jiang Chen. Going home seemed to be a decision that he made physically and mentally.
Why did the person who had happily agreed to let him stay during the day suddenly change his mind?
Lu Chiyuan's subconscious made him agree. He was in a trance for a moment, and his hands on the railing kept tightening. He fought against his subconscious and said in a deep voice: "No."
Jiang Chen's smile froze on his face. He opened his mouth but said nothing.
【Dog man! 】
For whom did he suffer this? He couldn't even get a ride.
[Forget it, I can just book a car to go back.]
Jiang Chen didn't say anything else. He changed his shoes, walked to the sofa and sat down, pressing his abdomen with one hand to try to relieve the pain.
Lu Chiyuan looked left and right, and sure enough, he was the only one upstairs.
So Jiang Chen was scolding him when he said "stupid man" just now? He was still a kid during the day, but now he has become a stupid man. Did he do anything against the law?
Lu Chiyuan didn't understand. He went downstairs and saw that Jiang Chen was feeling uncomfortable, so he went to the kitchen to boil some hot water for him.
Xu Chen's home is so clean. He only comes back a few times a year and never hoards food.
Fortunately, Uncle Lin and his friends arrived on time, and they came just as Lu Chiyuan's hot water was ready.
In addition to the prepared dinner, Uncle Lin also delivered the ingredients, directed people to fill the refrigerator, replenish the cupboards, and then there was the stomach medicine that Lu Chiyuan ordered.
"Take the medicine after meals." Uncle Lin reminded.
Lu Chiyuan walked to the living room and called Jiang Chen to eat.
Jiang Chen leaned on the sofa for a while and almost fell asleep. Lu Chiyuan called him to eat, he rubbed his eyes and followed Lu Chiyuan to the restaurant.
The servant put the things away and went out. Now only Uncle Lin was in the restaurant.
Jiang Chen greeted him and sat down, looking at the dishes on the table, but he had no appetite. However, Uncle Lin brought them from far away, so he ate a few bites, but then he couldn't eat anymore.
He looked up at Lu Chiyuan, and seeing that he hadn't put down his chopsticks, he served himself a bowl of soup and killed time at the dining table.
[Qiuqiu, help me book a car. ]
[Host, hold on, we will provide you with the best ride service. ]
"After eating, take a rest and then take the medicine. Sleep here tonight. Don't go back and forth if you're not feeling well."
Lu Chiyuan put down his chopsticks and interrupted the communication between Jiang Chen and Xueqiu.
Jiang Chen looked up at him.
[So what he meant by "no" was that you were not allowed to go home. Who wants to be with the boss when they are sick? ]
Jiang Chen complained silently. After a while, he reacted and asked, "Medicine?"
Uncle Lin smiled and said, "The young master asked me to buy some medicine."
The little complaint in Jiang Chen's heart disappeared without a trace after hearing these words, and he said sincerely: "Thank you."
Lu Chiyuan said: "The medicine is on the coffee table, take it and rest for a while."
Jiang Chen nodded.
Lu Chiyuan looked at him, and did not hear the cheerful voice, nor did he hear the word "baby".
Not satisfied?
Lu Chiyuan asked again: "Do you need me to ask someone to drive your car over for you?"
Jiang Chen waved his hand quickly: "No, I can get it myself tomorrow. I'm done eating, thank you for the treat, I'm going to take my medicine now."
Jiang Chen left the dining table and walked towards the living room.
Uncle Lin has already prepared the hot water and divided the medicine.
Jiang Chen thanked him, counted the pills, and swallowed them one by one starting with the most unpalatable capsule.
He hates being sick and taking medicine. When people are feeling uncomfortable, their magnetic field is at its lowest.
Neither medicine nor food worked in a very short period of time. The varying degrees of pain in his stomach made Jiang Chen unable to muster the energy to do anything. He felt uncomfortable sitting on the sofa and simply lay down.
The sofa is soft enough to support the body while making people feel extremely comfortable.
Jiang Chen relaxed his body. Not sure if it was because the medicine was taking effect or he was just running low on energy, he soon felt sleepy.
On the other side, Lu Chiyuan was discussing things with Lin Bo and didn't hear any movement from him. When he turned around, he saw that he was lying on the sofa, curled up with his hands covering his abdomen and his brows slightly furrowed.
Lu Chiyuan walked over and sat down next to Jiang Chen. He lifted Jiang Chen's head and placed it on his lap, then gently rubbed the uncomfortable area with his hands.
Uncle Lin followed closely behind. Seeing this scene, he kept smiling and calmly reported the progress of the work assigned by Lu Chiyuan.
When Xueqiu called the police, Lu Chiyuan promptly notified Lin Bo and Lu Mingxuan. Lin Bo cooperated behind the scenes, and Lu Mingxuan asked the public relations department to issue a dismissal statement of Chen Jiu as soon as possible.
Gu Tingsen’s illegal club was closed down, involving not only Chen Jiu but also many celebrities.
They wanted to work together to suppress the incident, but the news of the police raid had already passed through Lin Bo's hands and was passed to two rival media outlets.
It was only a matter of time before it was exposed.
In addition to Chen Jiu, there is also news about the aunt from the Shen family.
She took the jewelry away, but didn't know its price, so she privately asked someone how to sell it.
Upon seeing this, Uncle Lin asked the person who was following her to give her information and guide her to a regular brand store to sell the second-hand item, and also told her the price.
She was overjoyed when she heard this. After using some rhetoric to get rid of her relatives from the same hometown, she secretly went to the jewelry store to sell it by herself. The clerk became alert and called the police, and she was taken back for questioning on the spot.
"The jewelry matter will involve the young lady. Will we need a lawyer to help?" asked Uncle Lin.
Lu Chiyuan said: "No, I will watch here. Let her make her own decision."
That string of jewelry is a huge fortune for the Shen family, but for Shen Zhiyi, it will be a lesson.
She invited the Shen family here, regardless of whether they were good or bad, so she should open her eyes and take a closer look.
“Have you found out who asked the Shen family to contact Shen Zhiyi?”
"We checked, but it should be unintentional." Lin Bo said, "The person who leaked the young lady's contact information is her classmate. She and the Shen family are from the same hometown. Her parents work here and brought her here to go to school."
[Wow, the vicious female supporting role, she actually did it on purpose, and she was the one who introduced the little yellow-haired boy to the heroine. It's a pity that the heroine knew nothing and still treated her as a good friend. ]
Lu Chiyuan frowned slightly and looked down at Jiang Chen who was lying on his lap. He did not wake up, but fell asleep because of Lu Chiyuan's good technique.
Jiang Chen's consciousness was not in control, but he could still hear the voice of the so-called system.
Snowball, who was squatting on Jiang Chen's chest eating melon, felt a chill on his back when he was stared at. He stopped licking his paws. Why did he feel so cold?
Lu Chiyuan remained calm and looked away.
"Check Zhiyi's classmate again, especially the relationship between the two of them."
Uncle Lin took note, and Lu Chiyuan said, "It's nothing, you guys go back, and send me a car tomorrow."
Uncle Lin tiptoed out. Lu Chiyuan leaned against the sofa. Jiang Chen, who was resting his head on his legs, changed his position. It seemed that he thought Lu Chiyuan's legs were too stiff. He reached out and pulled them twice, then grabbed Lu Chiyuan's hand.
The moment their fingers clasped together, Lu Chiyuan had an inexplicable illusion.
It seemed like a long time ago that they were so close.
