Chapter 44 Cold Shower
"I'm glad you're alright." Sheng Baili said, "Boss, what do you want to eat? Aunt Zhang is on leave today, I'll order takeout for you."
"No need." Lu Zhouyan got out of bed in his slippers and heard someone's honest inner thoughts, "I'll do it."
"You feel uncomfortable in your stomach." Lu Zhouyan glanced at her flat belly and said, "Go to the guest room and rest."
"I'll give you a day off."
Sheng Baili: “!”
[Luzhou Yanren is still a good person. I will never scold him as a black-hearted boss again.]
[That’s great, I can eat delicious meals after a short nap. I’ve missed this for a long time.]
[But wouldn’t it be too tiring to cook right after the fever subsided? Should I persuade her?]
......
Lu Zhouyan took her to the guest room and said, "If you don't want to rest, you can go out and watch TV or play games. It's up to you."
Sheng Baili: "Okay, boss!"
The bed sheets were newly changed and looked new and clean. Sheng Baili rolled over on them.
It feels quite familiar.
It was very similar to the bed she had upgraded last time with the Midas Touch card.
Both very comfortable!
Sheng Baili lay on his side, rubbed his belly, played with his phone for a while, and fell asleep unknowingly.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already an hour and a half later.
Sheng Baili has no problem of being attached to his bed, and he sleeps even better at Lu Zhouyan's house than in the dormitory.
"boss"
Sheng Baili walked out of the room in slippers.
The living room and kitchen were very quiet, and she did not see Lu Zhouyan.
There was a sticky note on the table, Sheng Baili picked it up and took a look.
[Secretary Sheng, I saw you were sleeping so I didn’t wake you up. The food is in the kitchen. I’m going to the company now.]
I went back to work just after my fever came back.
The career-oriented protagonist is gone.
Sheng Baili sighed lightly and went into the kitchen to bring out the dishes.
The food was still warm, with a variety of dishes, light in taste, but looked very appetizing. Lu Zhouyan even cooked ginger and brown sugar water.
【Wow~】Hai Cha teased, 【The male lead is so considerate and virtuous.】
"This is called caring about your subordinates," Sheng Baili corrected.
After the meal, Sheng Baili obviously felt much better.
"Bao Bao, I'm going back to work." Sheng Baili stroked the cat's head, "I'll come see you when I have time."
[Didn’t the male protagonist give you a day off today?] Haicha asked.
"Yes." Sheng Baili said, "But I just checked my phone and a dance troupe from the annual meeting suddenly said they couldn't come. This means there's one less show. I have to find a replacement and have a meeting with the others to discuss it."
[You have a strong sense of responsibility, host. 】
Sheng Baili put the dishes into the kitchen and put them into the dishwasher. She pursed her lips unconsciously.
Perhaps it was because she saw how hard Lu Zhouyan worked and worked overtime to complete his tasks that she felt that...she should do more as well.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Sheng Baili walked into the company. She put a warm patch on her stomach and no longer felt the pain.
Sheng Baili went to the conference room humming a song.
Employee A: "Secretary Sheng, what happened to President Lu this morning? He looked a little off."
"Mr. Lu had a fever this morning, but it's gone now," said Sheng Baili.
Employee B: "What a hardworking Mr. Lu! He even issued a statement last night to clarify his relationship with Ji Susu. He seems heartless and has no desire... Mr. Lu only cares about work."
Employee C: "Boss Lu drove to the company to work overtime last night, and the lights in the office were left on all night."
Employee A: "Hiss, Mr. Lu has vented all his energy and strength on work."
After chatting for a while, the topic returned to the main track.
Sheng Baili searched for a suitable performance group on the computer.
"Secretary Sheng." Employee D suddenly said, "I think you sing very well, why don't you give it a try?"
Sheng Baili thought she was joking and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he didn't expect so many people to agree with him.
"Indeed, I've always wanted to say that Xiaoli, your humming sounds great." said Employee A.
“Yes, Secretary Sheng’s voice is really amazing, ethereal and soft, very textured, otherwise this last show...” Employee C didn’t finish his words, but his meaning was clear.
Everyone turned their expectant eyes to Sheng Baili.
Secretary Sheng: “…”
As a performing student, she is indeed good at dancing and singing.
But I have never performed on stage.
"Can I?" Sheng Baili pointed at himself and asked hesitantly.
Everyone nodded in affirmation.
"There is another important reason." Employee C emphasized, "Secretary Sheng, you are the face of our Zhouchi. Even if you don't sing well, your reputation is there, and everyone is happy to see you sing."
Everyone nodded even more vigorously.
Sheng Baili: QAQ
Sheng Baili had little confidence and posted an anonymous group vote in the group.
Ask everyone if they would like to see her sing at the annual meeting.
Twenty minutes later, the voting results came out, with 782 people participating in the vote.
The approval rate was as high as 89%.
The remaining 11% said they wanted to see Premier Lu and Secretary Sheng sing together.
Sheng Baili: “…”
Facing everyone's expectant gaze, Sheng Baili took on this glorious task.
Everyone says so, so her singing must be...not bad
-
A week has passed in a flash. The temperature in S City has dropped sharply this week, with the highest temperature only 4 or 5 degrees.
Sheng Baili was very excited when he saw the weather forecast saying it might snow in the evening.
Before she traveled through the book, she lived near the Tropic of Cancer. Three-quarters of the year was summer, and one-quarter was winter. She had never seen snow.
[Build snowmen and have snowball fights!] As a system, Haicha has never seen snow before, [but the thickness doesn't seem to be enough, we need to go to a colder place.]
At seven o'clock in the evening, Sheng Baili walked out of the company building excitedly and waited on a bench in the park for a long time.
Finally, fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
"Wow!" Sheng Baili was surprised.
This is snow!
Sheng Baili stretched out her hands to catch the falling snowflakes. She felt the slightly cold touch in her palms and twisted them with her fingertips. Her fingers became a little wet.
The days get shorter in winter and it is already completely dark at this point. The dim street lights provide a little light, which creates a very atmospheric feeling.
Sheng Baili thought of the Chuxuecha that was very popular on the Internet every winter, and felt a little itchy.
[Dance! I haven't seen you dancing for a long time. 】
Sheng Baili put her cell phone on the bench. The camera was shot from bottom to top. She walked back, revealing her whole body.
The street light was just to her right, clearly reflecting the snowflakes falling in the sky, which was particularly beautiful.
After thinking about the dance moves for a while, Sheng Baili pressed the camera button and started moving to the beat.
In fact, the filming was very casual and it was done in one take. In the video, she was wearing an ordinary woolen coat and jeans, and she even laughed at one or two places where she forgot the movements.
A casually shot video that Sheng Baili uploaded to her BigEye account. She had only reposted the lucky draw blog post on this account. She had no fans and probably no one would watch it. She just treated it as a record of her life.
After filming the video, Sheng Baili walked around the park again before returning home feeling satisfied.
Although it was snowing in S City, there was no floor heating. Sheng Baili returned to the dormitory and immediately turned on the air conditioner. Her hands were frozen red.
After taking a shower, Sheng Baili played a few games and felt a little empty.
[Cha, do I still have a card that I haven’t used?] Sheng Baili asked.
Haicha [Let me see... oh, yes, there is also a "transmission card." ]
It's only nine o'clock now, and Sheng Baili wants to have some fun.
[Tong, use the "teleport card" to teleport me to where Bao Bao is. I want to play with the cat.] Sheng Baili shouted the command.
[Activating "Send Card", please wait. ]
In a moment, a white light surrounded Sheng Baili, and she seemed to have crawled into the drawer in Doraemon and Nobita's room, and walked along the long space tunnel to another place.
The white light disappeared.
Sheng Baili opened his eyes.
“Blah, blah—”
There was the sound of dripping water next to his ears, and Sheng Baili turned his head to look in confusion.
“.......”
——I saw Lu Zhouyan, naked.
Sheng Baili was stunned for a long time, his face gradually turning red.
[I am invisible, right? Ahhhh, system daddy, where did you come from? How did you get to the hero’s bathroom?]
[I am devastated. If I quietly open the door and go out now, will it be like a horror movie? There is no one there, but the door suddenly opens.]
[Fuck, someone save my life. I'm here to have fun, not to have fun.]
[But is the male protagonist's size normal?... So scary.]
[No more empty talk, I will never say enough about bad temptations again.]
.......
The slightly warm water flowed down from the top of her head. Lu Zhouyan closed her eyes and tilted her head back, pushing her hair back. Her Adam's apple moved slightly, and the protruding shape was very obvious.
The sight from the side is a bit hot.
Lu Zhouyan tilted his head and glanced vaguely in the direction of Sheng Baili. His eyes were calm and there was nothing unusual in them.
There were still bubbles on his body, and the whole bathroom was filled with a pleasant fir wood scent. Hot steam was rising, and his slender and powerful figure was looming in the mist, making people more imaginative.
The moment their eyes met, Sheng Baili's heart almost stopped beating.
Her eyelashes trembled and she looked away with difficulty. Perhaps the bathroom was too hot and took away some of the moisture, and Sheng Baili felt dry mouth.
"Bag." The man's cold and sexy voice suddenly sounded.
Sheng Baili followed his line of sight and discovered that Bao Bao was squatting next to the washbasin.
Lu Zhouyan closed the water, his arms hanging down with veins bulging. He ground his back teeth lightly, pretending not to notice the secretary who suddenly appeared.
The other party's gaze seemed a little too bold, and Lu Zhouyan glanced at the person who was huddled in the corner with a red face.
His eyes darkened.
The water drops rolled down the jaw to the clavicle, and then flowed down along the smooth shark line and abdominal muscles, creating a charming scene... Lu Zhouyan picked up the bath towel next to him and wrapped it around his waist.
Lu Zhouyan walked a few steps to the sink, grabbed the kitten by the scruff of the neck, and chased it out.
"go out."
The cold voice carried a sense of oppression from a superior, and one could clearly hear the reprimand in the words.
The bathroom door was opened, and the cat ran out with its paws spread out. Lu Zhouyan turned on the faucet and washed his hands with cold water.
I don't know why the cheats never work on him.
He looked up and saw in the mirror that the secretary, looking embarrassed, quickly left the bathroom.
I walked along the wall with my head down, not daring to get close to him or even look at him again.
Lu Zhouyan pulled his lips in an ambiguous manner.
Weren't you staring at it intently just now?
Why does he feel embarrassed when he is wearing a bath towel?
Sheng Baili left the bathroom without even daring to breathe. She ran all the way to the balcony, the cold evening breeze hitting her face, and she slowly recovered her breathing.
"Bao Bao!" Sheng Baili picked up the cat on the ground.
Didn't pick it up.
Forget that you are now a translucent soul.
She slapped her blushing face hard, thinking that it was a good thing that Lu Zhouyan didn't find out, otherwise she would immediately want to leave this beautiful world.
Sheng Baili found some cat toys in the house and played with the cat for a while.
The cat toy suddenly flew into the air by itself. Bao Bao was so scared that she jumped half a meter high and stepped back repeatedly. She used her shadowless claws to quickly slap the toy hanging in the air with her claws, and her fur almost exploded.
[Cats also have brains, host, you scared the cat. ]
Sheng Baili put down the toy angrily and squatted on the ground quietly watching the cat.
The cat ran all the way back to the room, and Sheng Baili followed it, swaying and cheering himself up.
Lu Zhouyan can't see her again, so there's no need to be afraid.
But back to the room.
There was still the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.
Sheng Baili: “…”
Didn't you just finish your shower? You're wrapped in a towel and ready to go out.
Why are you washing again?
