Chapter 52 Chapter 52 (new chapter) “Dad…
"elder brother."
Sheng Baili called out again obediently, his voice was very low and contained a hint of sleepiness, probably because he wanted to go to sleep.
"What song do you want to listen to?" Lu Zhouyan asked.
"Hmm..." Sheng Baili thought for a while, then slowly uttered two words.
“Daddy Issues.”
The voice is a little hoarse, but the pronunciation is clear.
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
What kind of song is this?
"Sing." Sheng Baili begged him, "Please, please."
"......" Lu Zhouyan typed the song title on the keyboard.
"No, I'll learn it."
"Okay." Sheng Baili said disappointedly.
There was silence on both sides of the phone. Leisurely and soothing music floated over through the phone. Sheng Baili's eyelids gradually became heavier and his breathing became heavier.
Lu Zhouyan listened to it three or four times and felt he could almost sing a few lines.
Sheng Baili had asked him before if he could sing, and he said no.
It was just something I said casually at the time.
I can’t say that he is very professional, but in many evening parties and celebrations in junior high and high school, classmates and teachers were particularly keen to have Lu Zhouyan sing on stage. He even appeared as the closing show several times. I just don’t know how much of a role his grades and looks played.
Luzhou Yanping doesn't often listen to music. When he works, he keeps turning like a robot and doesn't play music beside him.
Of course he has the ability to multitask, but just being absorbed in his work makes him feel relaxed.
"Sheng Baili." Lu Zhouyan called her in a low voice.
There was no response from the other side, only the sound of even and regular breathing.
"Zzzzz."
Lu Zhouyan: “….”
Lu Zhouyan pursed his lips, put his phone aside, and started to deal with tonight's work.
The next day.
S University dormitory.
"Hmm..." Sheng Baili half sat up and stretched out his body on the bed.
Sheng Baili rubbed his sleepy eyes and picked up the mobile phone next to the pillow.
""
Sheng Baili rubbed his eyes again and opened them again.
[Voice call in progress----9h19m]
Sheng Baili's heart skipped a beat and his gaze slowly moved to the profile picture of the person he was talking to.
It is Luzhou Yan.
Sheng Baili uttered a beautiful C language from his throat.
What did she do last night when she was drunk? Why did she have a voice call with Lu Zhouyan for more than nine hours?
Sheng Baili swallowed nervously and hung up the phone.
The call interface ended, and the chat record between the two of them last night popped up.
She sent two voice messages, and Lu Zhouyan replied with a question mark.
Then there is a record of the end of the call.
The dormitory was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Sheng Baili's heart was beating like a drum. She bravely clicked on the voice message she had sent.
"Why don't you come pick me up?"
A slimy sound.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Sheng Baili felt so embarrassed that his scalp was numb.
Is this her voice?
So weird.
How could she make such a disgusting sound, especially towards Lu Zhouyan.
She sent two more voice messages with the same words, it really was like the sky was falling.
Sheng Baili closed his eyes and slowly fell on the bed, feeling that he was going abroad to heaven.
Lu Zhouyan received a notification that the call was disconnected and sent a message.
[1: Wake up]
Sheng Baili's soul was away for a while before he trembled and picked up the phone.
【Bai Liya: Yes, boss.】
【1: Do you remember what happened last night? 】
【Bai Liya: Yesterday, last night, what did I do?】
Still feeling a little dizzy after a hangover, Sheng Baili tried to remember what happened last night, but he couldn't remember anything at all.
I only remember that I was sitting in the taxi, feeling sad for a long time looking at the snow scene outside the window, and then I returned to the dormitory in a daze and seemed to fall asleep directly.
Sheng Baili typed out his memory and sent it over.
【1:......】
In the conference room, the employee who was giving a report saw the boss suddenly sigh lightly. He couldn't help but get nervous, thinking that he might have said something wrong, and stopped immediately.
Lu Zhouyan raised his head: ""
"Go on," he said.
The employee nodded quickly and continued speaking.
【Bai Liya: Did I say anything bad on the phone?】
【Bai Liya: [panic][panic]】
【1: No. 】
Sheng Baili breathed a sigh of relief.
【1: Just let me sing for you. 】
Sheng Baili's heart hesitated for a moment, then he let go.
Fortunately, it’s just singing, not something that would cause social disgrace.
Anyway, it’s not her who is singing, hahaha.
【1: I didn’t want to sing, but you called me brother and forced me to sing. 】
""
Sheng Baili took a breath...but didn't catch his breath.
The two hands holding the phone kept shaking up and down. Sheng Baili looked at a dot in the sky. His gaze gradually faded, and his eyes opened and closed, wanting to leave this beautiful world.
I just returned to China and now I want to go abroad again.
【1: I am 6 years older than you. I am indeed your brother. 】
Even through the screen, you can hear each other's joking and frivolous voices.
Sheng Baili: “…”
Sheng Baili was so angry that he threw his cell phone on the soft bed.
She doesn't believe it!
There is no way she would call Lu Zhouyan brother.
Although occasionally, sometimes, and often, Lu Zhouyan still takes good care of her.
Sheng Baili: “:)”
[The host's body temperature is detected to be too high, and a high temperature warning is issued. 】
【Warning! Warning! 】
"What are you warning me about? Shut up!" Sheng Baili was very angry and cursed the system as well.
Sea tea: "QAQ"
[Bai Liya: I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I was drunk last night and I can't remember it, but based on my personality, I probably wouldn't call you brother.]
Blushing, but tough.
[Bai Liya: Also, boss, why didn’t you hang up the phone last night?]
【1: I’m afraid you’ll send me a voice message again, asking me why I hung up on you, and forcing me to speak.】
Sheng Baili: “…”
Sheng Baili's expression changed from collapse to calmness. She was so crazy that her whole face looked familiar. She sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the pillow in her arms and knocking her head against it.
If you listen to the clock going in the opposite direction a hundred times, can you go back to last night?
Sheng Baili wanted to pat himself on the pillow to make himself faint while he was speaking to Lu Zhouyan.
Haicha: “0.0!”
-
on Monday.
Sheng Baili walked into the company gate on time, looked around, didn't see Lu Zhouyan, and walked into the office with his head held high.
[The host feels so strong. 】
【Like a cat that is afraid of mice.】
Sheng Baili: “?”
Sheng Baili retorted that he was not afraid.
"Secretary Sheng," a colleague came over, "Please help me pass the document to General Lu."
"Okay." Sheng Baili responded quickly.
Next second.
Sheng Baili turned and looked at Assistant Chi.
"Xiao Chi." Sheng Baili blinked, "I suddenly want to go to the bathroom. Can you help me pass the documents?"
Koike took it and said of course.
Sheng Baili fled to the bathroom.
[Like a cat that is afraid of mice.] Haicha corrected her statement.
Sheng Baili: “…”
Sheng Baili coughed lightly, said nothing, and went to the tea room to pour himself a cup of coffee.
The cell phone vibrated in my trouser pocket.
[Jiang Jiang: Secretary Sheng! My friend gave me a cake. Do you want to eat it? I’ll give you a piece.]
【Bai Liya: Okay, okay, I'll come find you. 】
Five minutes later, Secretary Sheng had eaten up the cake.
"It's delicious." Sheng Baili seemed a little unsatisfied.
"Hey, it's delicious, isn't it?" Jiang Jiang said, "This cake shop is a foreign brand, it just opened in S City, there is only one store in the whole city, in Dongcheng District."
"It's so far." Sheng Baili said regretfully.
"Yes, yes, otherwise we can eat it often." Jiang Jiang said.
Sheng Baili put down some snacks and went upstairs to work.
She was extremely focused and serious the whole morning. She didn't even look at Lu Zhouyan when he passed by. She just lowered her eyes and looked at the notebook on the table, looking like an excellent employee.
Lu Zhou Yanmai walked slowly and leisurely past the secretary's workstation for the third time with his long legs.
[Ahhh don’t look at me, don’t look at me, I’m not good-looking.]
[What is Lu Zhouyan doing here all morning? Is he a sentry patrolling here?]
[Go away quickly. I feel embarrassed when I see him. Let’s leave a clean and pure land for the employees.]
Lu Zhouyan: “.”
Don't you really want to see him?
Lu Zhouyan cast a faint glance and walked away.
The meeting started on time at ten o'clock.
People sat down one after another. Lu Zhouyan sat in the center. He saw Secretary Sheng walk in with a cold face and sit next to him.
""
Don't you want to sit next to him?
Lu Zhouyan raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction again.
Secretary Sheng lowered his head to look at his phone. He caught a glimpse of Lu Zhouyan looking at him and held the phone in his hand even tighter.
It seemed like he didn't want to draw my attention to her.
Lu Zhouyan looked thoughtful and looked away.
"Hmm?" Xiao Chi walked into the room, saw the empty seat next to Lu Zhouyan, and sat down.
Xiaochi turned around and asked Sheng Baili: "Why did you change seats today?"
Sheng Baili: "Ah, it's okay, just change the taste."
Xiaochi nodded as if he understood, but said nothing. He picked up the computer and started typing.
After the meeting, Koike turned his head and asked, "Secretary Sheng, do you want to have lunch together?"
Lu Zhouyan was tidying up things on the table and his eyes inadvertently glanced over when he heard the words.
Sheng Baili: “…”
"Oh, by the way." Xiaochi turned around and looked at Lu Zhouyan, "Mr. Lu, come along too."
Koike had just returned from abroad and was eager to use dinner to build closer ties with his colleagues.
Lu Zhouyan responded calmly, "Yeah."
Sheng Baili blinked guiltily, "Xiao Chi, President Lu, you go ahead, I suddenly remembered that I still have some unfinished business in the office."
"Oh, okay." said Koike.
Lu Zhouyan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
So bold last night.
I don't even dare to eat together today.
Secretary Sheng left. Xiao Chi simply sorted out the meeting minutes and was about to get up.
"There are a few issues here that need attention," said Lu Zhouyan.
Xiaochi looked down at the document again: "Oh, okay."
......
Sheng Baili returned to his workstation and checked his phone for a while. Thinking it was about time, he got up and went to the cafeteria to get his meal.
There were still quite a lot of people in the cafeteria at 12:20.
Sheng Baili thought about the meal she wanted to eat in advance, and lined up at the window of the Spanish-style seafood rice with a clear goal.
""
Who is the tall and thin man in the black suit in front?
Sheng Baili looked as if he had seen a ghost, and staggered a few steps while queuing.
Why is Lu Zhouyan still queuing?
The burning gaze was fixed on him, and Lu Zhouyan seemed to realize something and turned to look behind him.
"..." Sheng Baili turned his face away, waited for him to turn his head, and then left the team.
[No, my seafood rice!]
[Is this an illusion? I feel like Lu Zhouyan is haunting me like a ghost.]
[I am really sick. I am sick to the point where I feel socially dead just by looking at Lu Zhouyan.]
[Forget it, let’s go eat somewhere else.]
Lu Zhouyan glanced to the side and saw the lonely back of the little secretary.
She walked towards the bibimbap window.
Lu Zhouyan lowered the look in his eyes and recalled Secretary Sheng's helpless mumblings when he was drunk last night.
"Auntie, I'd like a pork belly rice with both sweet and spicy sauce and seafood sauce." Sheng Baili said.
After getting the meal, Sheng Baili looked around, pretending not to notice Lu Zhouyan, who was so conspicuous in the crowd, and sat down in the corner.
Since he didn’t get to eat the rice he wanted, Sheng Baili took a bite of the bibimbap.
Ah, it’s not delicious.
Sheng Baili frowned, savoring the sweet taste of the morning cake in his mouth.
She opened Weibo and edited a post.
[Bai Liya: I really want to eat Sdanucy's cake. I took a bite of it this morning and it was really delicious [thumbs up][thumbs up]]
After posting this Weibo, Sheng Baili checked his Moments.
A new update has been posted.
This is the circle of friends posted by Duan Xin and Xu Shiyao.
In the photo, they were having a picnic while camping, with the grill piled high with meat. Her two boyfriends were also in the photo, and the four of them were facing the camera with bright smiles, looking like they were having a lot of fun.
Sheng Baili silently nodded a thumbs up.
[Why don’t they take you with them when they go out to play?] Haicha asked.
"Maybe it's because this is a couple's game." Sheng Baili said.
She didn't mind. The original owner didn't have a close relationship with her roommate, and she didn't have much contact with her roommate after she came here from the book.
It's normal for them not to play with me.
Sheng Baili finished his meal in no time, then went back to take a nap.
2:30 pm.
Sheng Baili yawned wearily and pressed the elevator to go upstairs.
[The early bird catches the worm, come on host. 】
Sheng Baili pressed the elevator button, waited for a while and then walked in.
She was the only one in the elevator.
The elevator door closed slowly.
——opened again.
""
Sheng Baili raised his eyes and saw Lu Zhouyan walking in slowly.
The elevator door closed.
There were only two of them in the small, enclosed space.
Sheng Baili stood in the corner, treating himself as a ball of air.
"Secretary Sheng." Lu Zhouyan's cold and oppressive voice sounded slowly.
"Are you hiding from me?"
"......" Sheng Baili curled his fingers, "No."
"No."
Lu Zhouyan took two steps forward, bringing the two of them closer.
"Then why don't you dare look at me?"
Lu Zhouyan smiled silently, his dark eyes fixed on the secretary's slightly red ears.
"Are you so shameless?"
Sheng Baili was forced into a corner by him, with nowhere to retreat. Lu Zhouyan's tall body completely enveloped her, his full chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing, containing a sense of vigorous power.
An inexplicable ambiguity arose in the air, and Sheng Baili couldn't help biting his lower lip a little, feeling that he was trapped in this small corner.
A light laugh came from overhead.
Sheng Baili wanted more and more to find a hole to crawl into.
Lu Zhouyan, why are you suddenly so aggressive!
That's too much.
Sheng Baili suddenly raised his head, stared at him with his bright black eyes, and then put his arms around the man's neck.
"Yes, I am very shy." Sheng Baili said in a low voice, "So please give me some space."
"elder brother."
The girl had bright eyes and a charming look. Her palm-sized face was tinged with a little red. Her eyes, sparkling like glass beads, were flashing with a light as if she had succeeded in a prank. She was both scared and playful.
Lu Zhouyan: ""
“Ding-dong——”
The elevator door rose to the designated floor and suddenly opened.
"Ah!" Jiang Jiang, who was standing outside the elevator door waiting, let out a cry of surprise.
Sheng Baili turned his head and met Jiang Jiang's excited eyes.
Jiang Jiang put his hand over his bared-toothed mouth, but the smile that he couldn't suppress still shot out from his eyes like an X-ray.
"Sorry to bother you, sorry to bother you." Jiang Jiang bowed, started running, and left the elevator entrance at the speed of light.
Sheng Baili: “…”
Was, was seen..
"It's all your fault." Sheng Baili was desperate and glared at the culprit angrily, "What should we do now that Jiang Jiang has misunderstood!"
"Hasn't it been misunderstood before?" Lu Zhouyan stepped back a few steps, leaned aside and asked her calmly, "Secretary Sheng didn't seem to mind it at the time."
Sheng Baili remembered.
In order to talk to Lu Zhouyan, she deliberately ran over to ask him what to do if he was misunderstood by others.
At that time, Lu Zhouyan was quite cold and difficult to approach. He said coldly that Sheng Baili should just go and explain it clearly.
"I mind it now." Sheng Baili said.
Lu Zhouyan: ""
"I don't want to suffer from the financial delusion."
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
The elevator door stopped at the top floor and Sheng Baili slipped out.
[Why did the male protagonist keep harassing you?] Haicha asked, [It seems that you really talked a lot to him when you were drunk that day.]
"I made a mistake while drunk." Sheng Baili was upset, "I will never drink again."
[So you just called him brother.] Haicha smiled secretly.
"Then I was forced into a corner." Sheng Baili spread his hands, "I had no choice but to use magic to defeat magic."
Haicha gave her a thumbs up.
She was the only one in the secretary's office that afternoon.
Xiaochi and Luzhou Yan were both out. Sheng Baili was happy and relaxed, and handled the matter very efficiently.
Just work for a few more days and then you can have a holiday!
Sheng Baili took a few glances at the group of [Driving a G to G City]. Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, sharing what clothes, food and entertainment they brought.
"Hey." Sheng Baili suddenly came up with a good idea, "Haicha, don't I have a space card?"
"It's perfect for traveling. You can put your stuff in the space and take it out when you need it. You don't have to carry heavy luggage everywhere. How convenient!"
[Yeah, that’s a good idea.]
【But will others ask you why you didn’t bring anything?】
"That's easy." Sheng Baili said, "I can just carry an empty box."
Haicha raised his thumbs with both hands.
The phone screen lit up, and Sheng Baili clicked on the message and took a look.
【Jiang Jiang: Don’t be shy, Lili. 】
【Jiang Jiang: It’s just being pushed against the wall in the elevator. I understand. [Yellow heart][Yellow heart]】
【Jiang Jiang: Don’t worry, I won’t say anything nonsense.】
【Jiang Jiang: [Closes his mouth][Closes his mouth]】
"......" Sheng Baili typed a reply while stiffening his neck.
【Bai Liya: It’s not a wall-dong. 】
【Bai Liya: There is a mosquito here, and Mr. Lu is hitting the mosquito 0.0. 】
【Jiang Jiang: OK, I understand, don't worry. 】
Sheng Baili: “QwQ”
[I am dying of laughter. Host, what a lame excuse you have. It is so lame. Hahaha. It makes you look guilty.]
[Don't explain. Explanation is concealment, concealment is hinting. The male protagonist is about to fall in love with you. Jiang Jiang is right.]
Sheng Baili punched the air hard.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sheng Baili closed his eyes and did a set of eye exercises.
The boss who was out sent a message.
Sheng Baili thought she was being told to do something, but she didn't expect that when she opened it she would be amazed.
【1: I accidentally saw your Weibo post. I want to eat some cake, right?】
【1: I happen to pass by this store later. I can buy two for you. 】
[1: What flavor do you want?]
Sheng Baili: “!”
She read the three lines again, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
When the boss is not doing bad things, he is still a pretty good person.
【Bai Liya: Thank you, boss! ! 】
Sheng Baili searched the name and price of cakes on the Internet.
[Bai Liya: I want the taro flavor and the succulent green grape and blueberry flavor. ]
【Bai Liya: [transfer 218 yuan]】
The cake is very small and the price is quite expensive.
Lu Zhouyan did not take the money and simply replied "OK".
【Bai Liya: Boss, please collect the money. 】
Sheng Baili reminded him.
【1: No, afternoon tea is for you. 】
【Bai Liya: OvO, thank you boss. 】
【1: It’s okay, it’s just on the way. 】
There is something to look forward to after an afternoon of work.
Wait until six o'clock in the afternoon, just when it's time to get off work.
Lu Zhouyan pushed the door and walked into the secretary's office.
A beautiful packaging bag was placed on the table where the white liquor was served.
Sheng Baili's eyes sparkled as he asked eagerly, "Boss, do you want to eat?"
“No.”
Lu Zhouyan put down the cake and walked away hurriedly, probably going to another meeting.
Sheng Baili sent a message to Jiang Jiang, asking her to walk slowly, and then went downstairs carrying two small cakes.
"Hey, Xiaochi." Sheng Baili met Xiaochi who had just returned at the elevator entrance.
"You're back too"
"Yes." Xiaochi asked, "Is President Lu back too? So soon?"
"Yeah." Sheng Baili asked doubtfully, "Didn't you come back together?"
"No." Speaking of this, Xiaochi was confused.
"We were originally planning to return together after discussing business in the west of the city, but Mr. Lu suddenly said he had something to do and asked me to take a taxi, so I got off the car." Xiao Chi looked confused.
"Mr. Lu said he was going to Dongcheng District, but I looked through the itinerary and found no address in Dongcheng District, and it is so far away from the company."
"It might be General Lu's private trip," said Koike.
