Chapter 117 Cao Ming x Lu Zhiyan 2
Cao Ming had just finished washing the pot and was preparing to take a shower and go to bed early.
Before he could even walk into the bathroom, the phone on the bed rang.
Worrying about work.
He walked over to the bed and took a look.
Is it Lu Zhiyan calling?
He looked at the sky outside in confusion. It was almost dark, why was Lu Zhiyan calling him at this time?
It's a bit too late to have dinner at this time.
He answered the phone doubtfully.
"Hello."
"Secretary Cao."
As soon as Cao Ming heard Lu Zhiyan's voice, he realized something was wrong. His voice was sticky and he was stammering when he spoke. "Drunk?"
Lu Zhiyan laughed inexplicably, "You know me quite well, but I'm not drunk."
Cao Ming: “…”
No one believes what a drunkard says.
"Why are you calling me so late?"
Lu Zhiyan looked up at the buildings in the community and said, "I'm at the entrance of your community."
Cao Ming looked up at the window in surprise, "Are you downstairs in my neighborhood?"
"Well, I was drinking around here today. I drank too much and came out to sober up, and ended up downstairs in your complex."
"You're drunk and can't drive. How do you plan to get home?" Cao Ming asked.
Lu Zhiyan paused and said, "I'm not going back. I'll find a hotel nearby to stay for the night."
"Wait for me for a moment." Cao Ming went downstairs and walked to the gate of the community. He saw Lu Zhiyan standing there.
Lu Zhiyan looked even more lazy after drinking too much.
Cao Ming walked up to him and found that Lu Zhiyan's cheeks and neck were a little red.
Lu Zhiyan hasn't spoken since he came down.
Cao Ming was still a little uncomfortable with Lu Zhiyan, who was so quiet.
"Would you like to come up and sit with me?" he offered.
Lu Zhiyan stared at Cao Ming's face for a long time. Hearing his invitation, he nodded without hesitation, "Okay."
Cao Ming stretched out his hand to lightly support Lu Zhiyan.
Lu Zhiyan watched his eyes flickering under the light of the street lamp.
Looking at Cao Ming's hand pulling his sleeve, his heart beat a little irregularly.
Cao Ming took Lu Zhiyan back home.
Lu Zhiyan smelled strongly of alcohol, and one could tell at a glance that he must have drunk a lot.
Walking to the back, Lu Zhiyan's head almost rested on his shoulder.
He helped Lu Zhiyan sit down on the sofa.
As soon as Lu Zhiyan reached the sofa, he lay down directly.
Cao Ming went to pour him a cup of hot water. When he came back, he saw Lu Zhiyan fell asleep on the sofa.
He looked at Lu Zhiyan, whose breathing was steady, and knew that he would probably not be able to leave tonight.
He went back to the bedroom and took a thin blanket to cover Lu Zhiyan.
He had little experience in caring for alcoholics, so this was the best he could do.
He went back to his room to wash up and go to bed.
Lu Zhiyan woke up in a daze in the middle of the night and looked for the bathroom.
After groping around in the house for a long time, he realized something was wrong and observed the situation around him.
He doesn't seem to be at home.
He remembered that he was drunk and came to find Cao Ming.
He looked around.
So, this is Cao Ming’s house?
He found the bathroom and saw that he was still wearing the clothes from last night. The smell of alcohol on him made him frown in disgust.
He wanted to take off his clothes, but there were no suitable changes of clothes.
He could only go back to the sofa and continue sleeping.
However, when he thought that this was Cao Ming's home, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
His eyes kept looking around the room.
The room is very neat.
There is not even a TV at home, so it seems that he doesn’t watch TV series usually.
However, after working like a slave for a few days, he understood very well that when one is too tired after work, watching TV series feels like wasting energy and all he wants to do is lie down.
He lay on the sofa with a feeling of despair. He was a good man and had a lot of troubles. After working for a few days, he came back and felt like a fool.
Maybe the work during the day was indeed too intense, and he fell asleep again not long after.
The next day, someone's cell phone rang, and both of them sat up from the bed and the sofa at the same time.
Cao Ming opened the door and saw Lu Zhiyan sitting up.
"It's different now that you've started working. Why are you up so early?"
Lu Zhiyan glanced at the time on his phone, then looked up at Cao Ming and said, "Yeah, he's become a beast of burden."
Cao Ming chuckled and said, "I have some disposable toiletries at home. I'll find them for you."
Lu Zhiyan nodded, "Okay, thank you."
Cao Ming felt a little uncomfortable looking at Lu Zhiyan who suddenly became so polite.
Lu Zhiyan took the toiletries brought by Cao Ming and washed up quickly.
Then he left home with Cao Ming.
Cao Ming drove Lu Zhiyan out of the community and found a parking spot in front of a nearby restaurant.
"The breakfast at this restaurant is pretty good. I wonder if you can get used to it."
Lu Zhiyan got out of the car with him and said, "I'm not picky."
Cao Ming was skeptical about this statement. It was hard to say whether a young master like him was picky about food or not.
However, after trying it, Lu Zhiyan found that he was indeed not picky.
The hygiene in this restaurant is pretty good. He wouldn't dare take Lu Zhiyan to a restaurant with poor hygiene. If anything goes wrong during the meal, he would be responsible.
After eating a few buns, Cao Ming drove Lu Zhiyan to the bar where he was last night to find his car.
Afterwards, the two separated and went to work.
Before leaving, Lu Zhiyan called him and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you last night. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Of course Cao Ming would not refuse a free meal. He didn't have to cook or wash dishes, and this meal was a reward for his kindness.
That day, he received many messages from Lu Zhiyan, [I was late for work and got scolded by my dad.]
He smelled alcohol on me and got scolded again.
Cao Ming saw the message he sent and couldn't help but feel lucky, "I'm luckier than you. I clocked in at the last minute."
Lu Zhiyan: [Rabbit lying flat.jpg]
Cao Ming looked at the emoticons sent by Lu Zhiyan and couldn't help but wonder what it would look like if Lu Zhiyan did this.
Lu Zhiyan: [I had three meetings today. I'm so tired.]
Cao Ming: [We also held two meetings today. Isn't that the case with cattle and horses? Just be happy that it didn't take up your rest time.]
Lu Zhiyan: [……]
I finally experienced the life of cattle and horses.
In the evening, Lu Zhiyan sent a message to Cao Ming as soon as he got off work, "I promised to treat you to dinner today, don't forget."
Cao Ming: [I can’t forget the experience of eating for free.]
Lu Zhiyan booked a table at a high-end restaurant in the city center.
As soon as Cao Ming walked into the restaurant and introduced Lu Zhiyan's name, he was greeted and led all the way to the private room.
It was the first time for Cao Ming to come to a restaurant with such good service.
I think it has something to do with the price of the restaurant.
He waited in the restaurant for a while.
A few minutes later, Lu Zhiyan appeared at the door of the box.
【Here we come.】
Cao Ming asked: [Are we the only two here today?]
Lu Zhiyan nodded. "Of course. This is to thank you. Of course, it's just the two of us. No one else can eat the dinner I prepared for Secretary Cao."
Cao Ming was amused and felt that Lu Zhiyan was different today than before.
