Chapter 19 Motivations for Behavior

The New Year's Eve event went online smoothly, and all the programmers returned from their holidays. Lu Fangchi was not very busy today, and even had too much free time. He only had half an hour of work to do in the whole day, and spent the rest of the time sipping tea, staring at the scenery outside the window.

It was six o'clock when Lu Fangchi turned off his computer and prepared to go home.

The phone rang, and Lu Fangchi slid open the screen to take a look.

Xiao Zhou Zhou: I have to work overtime.

Xiao Zhou Zhou: I can’t go home with you after get off work today.

The emoticons were vivid and cute. Lu Fangchi could imagine Zhou Zheng typing with his lips pursed and a depressed look on his face through the screen.

The young man curled the corners of his lips slightly, tapped his finger on the lit screen, and replied: Come on.

The other party replied immediately: Got it.

Xiao Zhou Zhou: I will miss you.

The last sentence was so straightforward that it burned his hands. Lu Fangchi didn't know how to respond and could only click "1" to indicate that he had read it.

The other end might be busy, Zhou Zheng did not reply. Lu Fangchi waited for a few minutes but received no news, so he turned off the screen of his mobile phone, put away the phone, put on his coat and walked out.

He unlocked the car, fastened his seat belt, and the car slowly drove forward. This time, the co-pilot was not as chattering as Zhou Zheng. Lu Fangchi inexplicably felt that the journey home was longer, but also much quieter.

Lu Fangchi did not go home directly. Instead, he parked his car on a snack street one street away from the community and found a noodle restaurant to solve the dinner problem.

The restaurant served food very quickly. After waiting for about ten minutes, a bowl of colorful yellow croaker noodles was brought to Lu Fangchi. He reached out to the chopstick bucket, took a pair of chopsticks and started eating the noodles. He slurped a big mouthful and the taste was so delicious that it made his eyebrows drop.

"Ding Dong" the phone next to me rang and the screen lit up.

Lu Fangchi took a quick glance and put down his chopsticks after seeing the three words "Xiao Zhou Zhou". He then clicked in to take a look.

Xiao Zhou Zhou: [Picture]

It's a photo of a box lunch, with two pork and three vegetable dishes, and it looks pretty good.

Xiao Zhou Zhou: Have you eaten?

Lu Fangchi stretched out his finger and pointed: In progress.

Xiao Zhou Zhou: What to eat?

Lu Fangchi took a photo and sent it over.

Xiao Zhou Zhou: It looks okay, how does it taste?

Lu Fangchi: Not bad.

Xiao Zhou Zhou: How does it compare to what I did?

Most of the noodles Zhou Zheng makes are stuffed with meat, beef chops, pork bones, chicken, etc. It's hard to compare as they are different.

Lu Fangchi Duanshui: Everything is fine.

Xiao Zhou Zhou: Okay.

Xiao Zhou Zhou: I won’t say anymore! Oh, I have to be busy again:ˉˉ:

Lu Fangchi: Go ahead.

Putting down his phone, Lu Fangchi suddenly lost his appetite after being interrupted. He took two pieces of tissue to wipe his mouth, then got up and went home.

Lu Fangchi rested on the sofa for half an hour, then got up, changed into loose clothes, stepped onto the treadmill in the gym and started exercising.

Lu Fangchi's living habits are in stark contrast to his cold and abstinent appearance. He is not healthy at all and likes to stay up late playing games. He has bought all kinds of fitness equipment but seldom uses them. In fact, he has not touched as many things as Zhou Zheng has in the past two months.

Oh, thinking of Zhou Zheng, Lu Fangchi began to think about his confession while running. It was very sudden, illogical, and there was no motivation for action.

The speed of the treadmill gradually increased, and Lu Fangchi's pace changed from brisk walking to jogging. Sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead and slid down to his chin.

After the warm-up, Lu Fangchi picked up two dumbbells of moderate weight and moved them up and down. As the sweat dripped down his face, Zhou Zheng's words and actions came to his mind, and those clear eyes didn't seem to be lying.

So why?

Until the exercise in Lu Fangchi was over, he went to the bathroom to take a shower. The hot water washed away his fatigue. The young man came out of the bathroom with steam all over his body without thinking of the answer.

The activity that brings peace before going to bed is playing games. Lu Fangchi used to enjoy this moment the most, but today he was a little absent-minded. His health bar kept dropping and he was KOed almost every time.

Forget it, I don’t want to play anymore.

Lu Fangchi exited the game and switched to WeChat. His eyes fell on Xiao Zhou Zhou's conversation box for three seconds, then he scrolled down and found a group named "Three Stooges". He sent a message: Is anyone there?

Jiang Mingyi replied immediately: Are you finally willing to say it?

Lu Fangchi:?

Jiang Mingyi: I heard from my sister that Zhou Zheng has started working in your company and is also working in your office. What’s going on?

The amount of information in this sentence is so huge that it blows away the rest of my daily diving experience:?

Jiang Mingyi is Lu Fangchi's roommate in college and is now engaged in animation production, so he is considered a half-colleague. His sister Jiang Mingyu majored in fine arts and plans to become an original artist after graduation. She is currently a junior in college and got an internship at Lu Fangchi's company through a backdoor.

Everyone in the industry knows that Zhou Zheng and Lu Fangchi are sworn enemies. They have been going in and out together in a high-profile manner in recent days, and the employees have been going crazy privately.

Yu Yao is a senior who is one year older than them. The three alphas were assigned to the same dormitory. They have similar personalities and have gotten along well with each other over the years.

Lu Fangchi: It’s a long story.

Jiang Mingyi: Then please speak slowly.

Lu Fangchi really wanted to discuss Zhou Zheng's matter today, so he briefly explained: he had lost his memory in a car accident some time ago and only remembered me. His assistant used the chief planner position to exchange him for staying with me for three months.

Jiang Mingyi: Wow, so dramatic. Wouldn't that annoy you to death?

Lu Fangchi pursed his lips and continued typing: Not really, he is quite obedient and can even help with cleaning and cooking.

Jiang Mingyi: Damn, is this true? I can’t imagine it, his eyes are always on top of his head.

Before, Lu Fangchi couldn't have imagined this at all, but reality is so magical, not only did she become well-behaved, but she was also able to express her feelings.

Lu Fangchi frowned slightly, bit his lower lip and began to think of an excuse: What do you think of Zhou Zheng and me?

Yu Yao: Enemies often meet on a narrow road.

Jiang Mingyi: Deadly enemies, extremely bad relationship, incompatible horoscopes.

Yes, based on their previous performance, this assessment is correct.

Lu Fangchi's fingers tapped and paused on the screen, typing and deleting: What do you think about him confessing to me?

There was a moment of silence in the group, and then the phone dinged several times, and several white bars popped up at once.

Jiang Mingyi:? ?

Jiang Mingyi: ! !

Jiang Mingyi: XX

Jiang Mingyi: This grandson has absolutely no good intentions. Don't forget how miserable he looked every time he saw you before. It is difficult to change a person's nature. Can you change your nature just by losing your memory?

Jiang Mingyi: Maybe the amnesia is just fake. My brother, you better be careful and be on guard, but don't be fooled.

Lu Fangchi did not quite agree with Jiang Mingyi's speculation. He was about to type a rebuttal but stopped. Forget it, he might even be laughed at by him.

Yu Yao, who has been diving, expressed his opinion: Why can't he have been planning this for a long time? It's normal for him to like little Lu Jing.

Jiang Mingyi: Hahaha, I don’t know whether Zhou Zheng likes it or not, but his attitude before was not so shitty, and his appearance is indeed the type that our Xiao Lu likes!

Yes, it’s useless to ask.

Lu Fangchi:.

Lu Fangchi: Asleep.
