Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Massage.
The next day was Saturday, and Lin Mo slept until noon.
She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling, thinking for a long time. She only remembered that last night at Hongyun Tianfu's dinner table, they were talking about work. She was worried that Song Yue might have drunk too much, so she helped him with two drinks. She had no recollection of what happened after that.
All I can feel now is: headache, tight temples, and sore eyes.
Don't many people say that if you drink good wine, you won't feel bad the next day? It seems this statement is not credible.
Lin Mo rubbed her temples and walked into the bathroom. She showered and cleaned up. The discomfort seemed to ease a little, but she still couldn't remember anything. She looked around the room. Her car keys and phone were on the bedside table. Did she come back in her own car? Did she call a designated driver? She picked up her phone, but found it was turned off.
Oh yes, yesterday while having dinner, she hung up Lu Yanxiao’s call and turned off her phone.
That should be the designated driver that Song Yue helped to call.
Lin Mo turned on her phone and switched to her chat with Song Yue. She messaged Song Yue as she walked downstairs: "Song Yue, you were the one who called the designated driver yesterday, right? How much was it? I'll transfer it to you."
Song Yue replied immediately: [No, no, not much.]
Lin Mo didn't reply for now. She opened the app to search for the approximate price, then directly transferred two hundred yuan to Song Yue: "Please take it, otherwise I will be embarrassed to ask you for help next time."
Song Yue: [Okay.]
Seeing that Song Yue received the transfer, Lin Mo put away her phone. At this time, there was a sound coming from the restaurant area, followed by the aroma of food.
Sister Qin is on vacation this weekend, which means Lu Yanxiao is cooking again!
Lin Mo pounded her head in frustration. Lu Yanxiao had cooked for her several times since she moved in, and she had promised to make delicious food for him several times, but all of them were empty promises and she had never fulfilled her promise.
Lin Mo walked to the restaurant embarrassedly.
Lu Yanxiao prepared brunch, consisting of boiled corn, greens, tofu, chicken, fish, and more. It was light overall, but nutritionally balanced. Perhaps he'd heard her washing upstairs and realized she was awake before serving them. Every dish looked freshly prepared, beautifully presented, and steaming hot.
Through the frosted door, you can see Lu Yanxiao busy in the kitchen, seemingly pouring something into a bowl.
A warm feeling surged in Lin Mo's heart. She felt like she was being cared for, and her eyes couldn't help but feel warm.
"Are you sober?" Lu Yanxiao pushed the door open and came out with a small bowl of porridge in his hand.
Lin Mo hummed in a muffled voice.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Lu Yanxiao asked in a gentle voice.
Lin Mo shook her head, turned her face away and rubbed her eyes in panic. When she looked at him again, she smiled sweetly and said, "Maybe it's because of drinking. My eyes are a little swollen, but it's no big deal." As she spoke, she actively stepped forward to find work to do, cut another bowl of porridge and fruit and brought them to the table, and poured a glass of warm water for both of them.
Lu Yanxiao turned around and opened a nearby drawer, took out a few capsules and placed them on the table in front of her: "After dinner, take the medicine."
Lin Mo stared at the capsule in a daze. Suddenly, her head buzzed like fireworks, and fragments of memories flooded back: at night, Lu Yanxiao carried her into the house, Lu Yanxiao helped her pour water and get medicine, Lu Yanxiao helped her go upstairs, helped her remove her makeup, helped her get skincare products, and even personally helped her brush her teeth!!!
Lin Mo widened her eyes in horror.
These are all real experiences that happened last night when I was drunk. They were so embarrassing.
She lowered her head and picked the corn kernels one by one, secretly glancing at Lu Yanxiao. The latter was eating slowly and leisurely as usual, like a very cultured gentleman who could cook and take care of people so well, and he had no complaints.
Lin Mo felt more and more ashamed of herself. She already had enough food to eat, and it would be inappropriate to avoid it again.
Even though it was embarrassing, she still took the initiative to say it: "Lu Yanxiao, thank you last night, and today as well."
"Remember?" Lu Yanxiao raised his eyes, with warmth in his eyes.
"Yeah, now I remember. You carried me home, took care of me, poured me water and medicine, and helped me wash up. Thank you so much." She had said thank you so many times that she really didn't know how else to express it to him. "Lu Yanxiao, you are so good to me. I don't know what to do..."
"What do you want? Or, is there any wish I can help you fulfill?"
After saying this, she felt that she was too naive. The Lu family was so rich, what could they not buy? Something like a wish might be something she couldn't afford at all. Thinking of this, she said dejectedly, "Forget it, I've kept it in mind anyway. I'll think about it carefully."
Think of other ways you can thank him.
Lu Yanxiao chuckled, put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
Lin Mo leaned halfway out to look outside, only to see Lu Yanxiao heading towards the study. When he returned, he was holding a pen and a small card. He placed them in front of her and said, "Words are not enough, so I'll write this down as proof."
Lin Mo didn't react to this: "What kind of document do you want to sign?"
"You're going to regret it so soon?" Lu Yanxiao raised an eyebrow. "Fulfill my wish."
"Oh, I didn't regret it. How could I possibly regret it?" Lin Mo understood, took the card and pen, and wrote on it, "I, Lin Mo, promise that, without violating any laws or regulations or harming others, I owe Mr. Lu Yanxiao a wish. As long as Mr. Lu Yanxiao asks, I will definitely help him fulfill it. —Promiser: Lin Mo"
After signing the final signature, Lin Mo returned the paper to Lu Yanxiao: "Is this okay?"
"Very rigorous." Lu Yanxiao smiled. The small piece of paper was almost filled with her writing. However, her handwriting was just like her personality, beautiful and powerful. No matter how much she wrote, people would still read it patiently with an appreciative attitude and savor it over and over again.
Lu Yanxiao put the card in his pocket and sat back in his chair. Before eating, he looked up and asked her, "What else do you remember about last night?"
"Ah, anything else?"
Lin Mo paused for three or two seconds, and suddenly realized that she had never drunk too much alcohol in her life. At most, she just drank a little bit. Therefore, she had never been drunk before. Could it be that she had a bad alcohol tolerance?
"Would you mind me?" she asked tentatively, "I'm not drunk, am I?"
"No, I'm very well behaved." Lu Yanxiao curled his lips and glanced at her, speaking meaningfully, as if he was speaking in a sarcastic way.
Lin Mo was unsure: "How can I be good? Next time, record it for me."
"You still want to have another chance? Don't you know your stomach is not good?"
At the dinner party, she didn't think much about whether she had stomach problems or not. She was just thinking, "I can't just let my colleagues drink while I just watch." If she faced that situation again, she would probably still drink.
So, she didn't respond to Lu Yanxiao's question, and instead asked, "Am I the type who falls asleep right after getting drunk?"
Lu Yanxiao's mind was still lingering on the kiss from last night. He remembered most of it, but he didn't remember kissing him. He was silent for a moment, facing the girl's expectant eyes, but he didn't mention it in the end. He just nodded and said "hmm" insincerely.
As long as he didn't act crazy, Lin Mo's burden was lifted and she ate happily. But as she ate, she noticed the man's eyes were still on her face. She puffed her cheeks and raised her head: "What's wrong? Did you miss something?"
"Corn husk on the chin."
Lin Mo wiped it with a napkin, but found that there was nothing there. She wrinkled her nose in anger: "Childish."
After dinner, Lin Mo forcefully pushed Lu Yanxiao out of the restaurant, saying that she would be responsible for all the work of washing dishes, cleaning the restaurant and kitchen. Lu Yanxiao had no choice but to do as she was told.
When I came out of the kitchen again, my cell phone was vibrating on the table in the dining room. It was Li Ningxin calling.
"Senior Sister, has President Xiao come to see you?"
Lin Mo didn't understand why, so she subconsciously glanced towards the living room. Lu Yanxiao was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She said calmly, "No, what's wrong?"
"Last night, when I was at the company until eight o'clock, President Xiao came to our office area with a cup. I don't know if he was just passing by and asked, or if he came over on purpose, but he asked me, 'Where have you been?' I said I was out discussing cooperation, and then he left."
"Oh, I must have been passing by, just asking casually." Lin Mo evaded the question guiltily.
"Later, around ten o'clock, I got home and Assistant Wang called me again, asking where you were going to discuss the collaboration. I told him to let me know if he needed to, and I'd tell you later. He said it was urgent and important and he had to talk to you in person, but I didn't know where you were going. I called you and Song Yue, but one phone was turned off and the other no one answered. Didn't Assistant Wang contact you later?"
"Not yet. Well, I won't tell you now. I'll call him and ask."
After hanging up the phone with Li Ningxin temporarily, Lin Mo called Wang Qian and asked him if he was looking for her last night and what was the matter.
Wang Qian on the other end of the line was clearly surprised, as if he hadn't understood what she said. He was distracted for a few seconds before regaining his usual assistant style and stating in an orderly manner, "Boss Xiao saw that you didn't come home late and was worried, but he couldn't ask other people directly, so he asked me to call Li Ningxin from your team."
"He's worried about me?"
"Yes, the boss was very worried about you. He finally asked someone from Longsheng Xinghui and found out your location. When he was about to pick you up, you just happened to come back."
As soon as Wang Qian finished speaking, Lin Mo's mind immediately filled with several more memories of last night: in the garage, Lu Yanxiao sat in the car and looked at her sinisterly; Lu Yanxiao helped her to the elevator; Lu Yanxiao carried her into the elevator; she hugged Lu Yanxiao's waist at the door; she kissed him secretly!
Ahhhh——
What did she do?!
Lin Mo clenched her hands frantically and dug her toes into the ground. The key point was that Lu Yanxiao actually said that she was "very well-behaved when drunk." What kind of well-behaved was that? He was clearly a drunk.
Lu Yanxiao is such a good person.
How anxious he must have been when she ruthlessly hung up on him during the dinner. He must have been kept awake very late last night by her, and had to cook porridge and rice early this morning.
Lin Mo felt extremely guilty, but was also deeply moved.
After ending the call, she tiptoed into the living room. Lu Yanxiao was sitting on the sofa at the far end, leaning against the back of the sofa with his eyes slightly closed, but he was not asleep. When she approached him, Lu Yanxiao just pinched his eyebrows.
Lin Mo sat down next to him and poked his arm with her fingertips: "Lu Yanxiao?"
Lu Yanxiao opened his eyes.
"I'm sorry for hanging up on you yesterday. I made you anxious. Next time, if I'm going to be home late, I'll try to tell you in advance, and I'll try not to hang up on you or turn off my phone."
Three "try your best" were used in a row to ensure that rigor is implemented to the end.
"Okay." Lu Yanxiao nodded, but he could not hide his fatigue. He nodded to her with his head resting on the back of the sofa.
"Let me massage your shoulders, neck and head." Lin Mo said on a whim.
"You can?"
"Who are you looking down on? I learned it online and used to massage my grandfather." Her grandfather had been doing heavy work for many years and needed to keep his head down most of the time, which caused problems with his shoulders and neck. After his health problems occurred, his cervical spondylosis always recurred, and he felt dizzy and nauseous. She learned it specifically for her grandfather.
"Okay, let me try." Lu Yanxiao stood up and turned half a circle, sitting with his back to the armrest of the sofa so that it would be easier for her to press. "Come on."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
Lin Mo did not give him a massage immediately. Instead, she quickly ran to the bathroom closest to the living room, washed her hands, took out a clean towel, and then spread the towel flat on his shoulders.
"Professional." Lu Yanxiao smiled.
"The technology is more professional." Lin Mo is full of confidence.
Lu Yanxiao closed his eyes again. He had to admit that the girl was not exaggerating. Her fingers were slender and her skin was soft and smooth, but she was powerful. Every time she pressed with force on her fingertips, wrist bones, and elbows, he could feel a slight pain and soreness.
"How is it? Is your technique okay?" Lin Mo's sweet and soft voice rang in his ears.
Lu Yanxiao said softly: "Yeah, not bad."
"Would you like to apply for a card?"
Lu Yanxiao raised the corner of his lips: "Yes, what should I do?"
"Since we're acquaintances, I'll give you a discount. A monthly pass is 1888, and an annual pass is 8888. Would you like to apply for a monthly or annual pass?"
"Annual card." Lu Yanxiao answered cooperatively.
"Okay, wait a moment while I register you."
Lu Yanxiao was amused and laughed out loud. The extreme comfort of his body and the extreme numbness in his heart made him eager to see what the girl looked like at this moment. He opened his eyes slightly, tilted his head to look back, and was caught by the girl.
"Don't be absent-minded. Sit still." Lin Mo straightened his head.
"Didn't you say you wanted to apply for a card?" Lu Yanxiao picked up the phone next to him and opened the chat dialog box with her.
Lin Mo stopped moving: "Lu Yanxiao, are you serious?"
"Yeah, seriously, the technique is very good, and it's worth the money." Lu Yanxiao said as he clicked on the transfer and entered 8888.
Lin Mo leaned forward anxiously, waving her long arm and snatching his phone away. "Hey, since you're so supportive, it's free. I'll serve you for free this time, and I'll charge you next time." After saying that, she was about to put the phone down, but suddenly her eyes lit up. "Oh, by the way, playing some music will make the experience even better."
"Can I see your phone?"
Lu Yanxiao didn't hesitate: "Okay."
The phone was already turned on and there was no need to enter a password. Lin Mo slid the screen, but after searching for a long time, she found that there was no music player software on Lu Yanxiao's phone.
"You don't even use your phone to listen to music? You don't even have any music software."
“I don’t hear much.”
"Let me download the same one for you. I have a membership and I can give it to you."
"good."
The internet speed was very fast and the software was downloaded successfully in less than 30 seconds. Lin Mo happily logged into her account. She had many playlists, which were clearly classified and organized according to style and year, so that Lu Yanxiao could listen to them in the future.
She said to Lu Yanxiao as if offering a treasure: "If you have songs you want to listen to, you can also create a new playlist."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Lin Mo smiled sweetly, her mood as bright as a blue sky full of flowers, because, in her opinion, by doing this, she seemed to finally have a chance to repay Lu Yanxiao for his previous efforts for her.
Soothing music played as Lin Mo continued to massage him, and soon he began to feel sleepy from the relaxation. While massaging his head, Lin Mo asked him to lie down, and after about two or three minutes, the man fell into a deep sleep.
