Chapter 91

The next morning, Lu Shenxing figured out Yan Shu's working hours and took Xiaobai downstairs to buy breakfast. After a night of strong wind, the trees were shaking and the dead leaves were scattered all over the place. A strong gust of wind came, and both the man and the puppy shivered.

Yan Shu lowered his head to adjust the gray and white plaid scarf around his neck. He walked towards the bus stop, going the same way as Lu Shenxing.

"morning."

Yan Shu turned his head and curled his lips at Lu Shenxing. He didn't know if it was because he slept well last night or what, but he couldn't help but tease, "After moving here for so long, this is the first time I see you after seven in the morning."

The words jumped out of his mouth, and Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, clearing his cough awkwardly.

Lu Shenxing smiled, revealing his white teeth, looking sunny and handsome. "You can see me every day from now on."

An ambiguous charm emanates from the words.

Yan Shu stared at him unconsciously for a long time before coming back to his senses. He cursed himself for not waking up yet.

Lu Shenxing chuckled, and Xiaobai followed him closely, curious about everything in this world, but it did not dare to leave its owner.

"I saw the reward you gave me under my article."

This man even wrote his real name on his pseudonym. Lu Shenxing was speechless and couldn't find any other words to express his feelings.

Yan Shu showed her shallow dimples and said, "When I finish my work, I will read the novel you wrote."

Lu Shenxing didn't care. He didn't read them either. Those novels had several million words in total and were very long.

"Next time if you need money, don't go to my office, give it to me in person."

Yan Shu nodded, "Okay." He had a vague feeling that the young man was a little annoyed, but he didn't know why.

After watching Yan Shu get on the bus, Lu Shenxing took a bite of the hot meat bun and went back with two buns filled with red bean paste.

Yan Shu stood by the car window, looking at the young man on the side of the road. An indescribable feeling grew in his heart, lingering and unable to be shaken off.

He thought the other party was just talking casually, but he didn't expect to meet him every day afterwards.

From the initial awkwardness to the gradual naturalness, the process was shorter than one could imagine. When Yan Shu reacted, he had already gotten used to looking behind him.

Are the young man with the bold and carefree smile and the cute little dog following?

On the weekend morning, Mou Yun came to see Yan Shu. Lu Shenxing knew the original plot. His door was open, and he was typing on the keyboard while paying attention to the movement outside. The two would quarrel today.

The reason was that Mou Yun was on her menstrual period and she wanted to break up with Yan Shu but couldn't bear to do so, which led to her self-entanglement and she was dissatisfied with everything.

"Yan Shu, my stomach hurts."

Yan Shu stirred the brown sugar water and handed it to her, "Does it hurt a lot? I'll take you to the hospital."

Mou Yun held the glass and said, "It's not time to go to the hospital yet." She blew on the sugar water and touched a little to her lips. "Yan Shu, let's talk."

Yan Shu wiped the water stains off his hands. Mou Yun stared at his hands and couldn't help but sigh that this man's hands were more beautiful than those of the hand models in her company.

Especially when you hold a pen, it is pleasing to the eye and makes you feel good.

"Didn't I say last time that I was going to a class reunion?" Mou Yun lowered his head and picked at his fingernails, whispering, "I ran into Chen Yang."

Yan Shu suddenly raised his eyes, "Really?"

Mou Yun grabbed Yan Shu's arm and said, "Yan Shu, it's impossible for me and him to be together."

Yan Shu's eyes caught the red string around Mou Yun's neck, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and hooked it, "Where did this jade come from?"

Mou Yun slapped his hand away, "I bought it myself!"

Yan Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.

Mou Yun felt increasingly insecure as he stared at her, his expression grim. "Yan Shu, I've never understood you!"

Yan Shu looked at the girl in front of him a little tiredly. I took out everything, but you pretended not to see it.

Outside, Zhang Ping opened the refrigerator to get some food. She pricked up her ears to eavesdrop when she heard a voice suddenly ask, "Have you finished taking anything?"

When she turned around, she was startled and quickly patted her chest and complained, "Landlord, why don't you walk quietly? Can scaring people to death be okay?"

Lu Shenxing crossed his arms and asked, "What are you selling?"

Zhang Ping was excited. "Children's supplies." She said with a smile, "Landlord, do you want to buy anything? For a relative's child? I'll give it to you.

20% off, plus a small gift."

Lu Shenxing said, "No."

Zhang Ping glared, "Then why are you asking me?"

Lu Shenxing said casually, "Just asking."

Zhang Ping, "..." She took a bottle of milk, slammed the refrigerator door shut and went back to her room.

Lu Shenxing stood there and looked at the closed door. Not long after, the door opened from the inside and a beautiful woman with long hair ran out, clutching her handbag without looking back.

Yan Shu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly looked up. Lu Shenxing was standing at the door with a gloomy look. He looked again, but he was gone.

"Were you having a fight?"

Yan Shu scratched his hair and said, "Hmm."

Lu Shenxing said slowly, "My laptop won't turn on. Do you have time to help me?"

Yan Shu wanted to say that he didn't know how to do it, but the only word that came out of his mouth was, "Okay."

Is he possessed by an evil spirit?

When he walked into the room, he was a little stunned. He had seen it before when he came to pay rent. It was very messy, not as clean and tidy as it is now.

Lu Shenxing walked around Xiaobai who was rubbing against him and handed the notebook to Yan Shu, "Take a look."

Yan Shu came back to his senses and asked, "Do you have a screwdriver?"

Lu Shenxing rummaged through the drawers and pulled out a small plastic box from under the bed. He wiped off the dust on it with a rag. Inside were small household tools, wrenches, screws, and everything else.

He looked at Yan Shu's profile. In a few years, he would go out and work on his own, have his own studio, and his career would be booming, but his love life would still be stagnant. Lu Shenxing's eyes were filled with emotions. This was why he was determined not to be a spare tire in real life.

When Yan Shu was tightening the screw, he was not paying attention and the screwdriver moved, causing a break in the skin on the tip of his index finger.

Seeing this, Lu Shenxing, who was watching from the side, frowned immediately. He turned around and opened the drawer to get a Band-Aid.

Yan Shu said nonchalantly, "No need, it's just a little skin peeling off, it will heal soon."

The young man stared at him, anger burning in his dark eyes. He averted his gaze for no reason and reached out to take it. "Thank you."

In the early morning of that day, Yan Shu received a text message from Mou Yun: Yan Shu, let's break up.

In one sentence, simple and direct, nothing else.

His protruding Adam's apple trembled a few times, and he silently pressed the keyboard and typed a word: OK.

Afterwards, Yan Shu stood up and put his phone on the computer desk. He thought he would be very sad and unable to control himself, but at this moment, nothing happened.

It seems that something is no longer important, and what is important is...

A few days later, Mou Yun called Yan Shu and said, "I'm in Beicheng. Are you free? Let's have a drink together."

Yan Shu was adjusting the strokes of his paintbrush, "No."

Mou Yun on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, "Yan Shu, are you blaming me?"

Yan Shu sighed, "Mou Yun, you are no longer a child, so I understand that you are not joking with me. I don't blame you."

Mou Yun's lips trembled a little. "You are very good, really, Yan Shu. I know how good you have been to me. Thank you so much for all these years. You are the person I least want to hurt in my life, but I..."

"I'm sorry." She hung up the phone.

Yan Shu stretched out his hand and rubbed his brow. He was almost thirty-five years old, and he still received the good guy card.

When he got home from get off work, he saw the young man downstairs. It was the same every day. For some reason, Yan Shu had the illusion that the kid was waiting for him to come back.

Feeling a little ridiculous about his thoughts, he stepped into the corridor and the young man followed him.

At that moment, Yan Shu felt a dull pain in his head, but it disappeared before he could bear it anymore, as if nothing had happened.

Lu Shenxing held the cigarette between his fingers and said casually, "Yan Shu, you got off work forty minutes later than yesterday."

Yan Shu was startled, "There's something wrong with the art department."

Lu Shenxing made a syllable through his nose to indicate that he understood.

Halfway up the stairs, Yan Shu stopped. He felt that he was walking too fast and inexplicably wanted to wait for the child behind him.

Lu Shenxing noticed it keenly, curled the corners of his lips, and slowed down his pace, so Yan Shu waited there for several minutes.

After a month, Lu Shenxing had used up all his patience to fish, and fortunately, the fish was about to take the bait.

Lu Shenxing was lying on the bed watching a movie. During the buffering period, he opened the website and received a text message from the website, which was a warning to the small black room.

When you receive this message, unfortunately, I have to tell you that this is an ominous omen. Comrade, you still have 10,000 words left to complete your list task. You don't have much time left! Charge forward, young man!

The corners of Lu Shenxing's mouth twitched.

He didn't know what ten thousand words meant. He still remembered the eight hundred words he read when he was in school, and it was so painful.

If he remembered correctly, he had read the rules and knew that it would be fine as long as he didn't apply for the list. Lu Shenxing remembered that he didn't do anything.

Lu Shenxing quickly noticed the avatar of the person with the word "Editor" jumping around in the lower right corner of the screen. Two minutes later, his phone rang, and the caller ID showed "Editor". He was about to get up and eat something to calm down when a voice suddenly rang in his head.

"Ding, Mr. Lu, on the company's 70,000th anniversary, every customer has a chance to win a lucky draw. The prizes are generous, first come first served."

Lu Shenxing felt that he still needed to say, "Don't miss it if you pass by." "I refuse to participate."

He never believed in his luck and didn't believe that he could win anything good from the lottery.

After a while, the system's voice came out again, "Ding, rejection is the default option one."

Lu Shenxing, "..." He gritted his teeth, "What are the options?" As he thought about it, dense numbers appeared in the void.

There are thousands of them, which are dazzling to look at.

"I choose number 777."

The next second, Lu Shenxing had a sex toy in his hand out of thin air. Are you fucking kidding me?

After a long while, Lu Shenxing said with a dark face, "This should be used by women."

"Ding, it can be used by either party, regardless of gender."

It was pink. Lu Shenxing was just thinking of putting it in a corner when Yan Shu's voice came from the door.

"Landlord, I'm sorry, I left my key in the room. Could you please open the door for me?"

The last two words were barely audible, and it was obvious that he was frightened by the scene before him.

Lu Shenxing was holding a sex toy in his hand, "..."

Yan Shu looked at the sex toys in his hand, "..."
