Chapter 21 I'll wait for you tomorrow
By the time Lu Fangchi reacted, he had already driven to the underground garage, got out of the car, picked up the packed meal on the passenger seat, and slowly stepped into the elevator.
He rubbed the string of the brown paper bag in his hand and felt a little crazy. This behavior was very un-Lufangchi.
While I was thinking, a "ding dong" sound was heard, the electronic display screen showed that I had reached the eighth floor, and the elevator door slowly opened.
When I looked up, I saw Zhou Zheng leaning against the elevator door. When he saw the elevator door open, he immediately stood up and walked up to greet me.
"I'm here." Zhou Zheng smiled, looking very excited.
Lu Fangchi's previous thoughts were instantly thrown out of his mind. He lifted the bag in his hand and waved it in front of him, nodding and acknowledging, "Yes, the takeaway has arrived."
Zhou Zheng smiled again, his eyes full of joy, he subconsciously reached out to grab Lu Fangchi, but then he felt it was inappropriate to take his hand back and smiled foolishly: "I go back every day, but it feels like I haven't seen you for several days."
That's right. Every day when I go back home, Lu Fangchi has gone to bed early. When I leave, he is still asleep. I can only look at his sleeping face for a few seconds and chat on his phone to quench my thirst by reading the cold texts. He doesn't even like to send voice messages, and I can hardly hear his voice once.
Hearing this, Lu Fangchi looked at Zhou Zheng and felt that he had not seen him for a few days. In the past, they always met at events or press conferences. Whenever he attended, he was usually dressed in formal attire. After losing his memory, the alpha mostly wore loose and comfortable clothes, a navy blue pullover with an army green denim jacket on the outside, dark jeans underneath, and a pair of black and gray sneakers.
He has a head of smooth hair and looks very well-behaved, like a young man. Although he is not very old, he exudes vitality.
Somehow, Lu Fangchi felt that the person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. He frowned slightly and thought about it.
Zhou Zheng's voice brought Lu Fangchi back to his senses. He muttered, "I miss you a little bit."
Zhou Zheng felt a little embarrassed after he finished speaking. His eyes wandered around and couldn't focus on anything. His chubby lips were pursed, his hands were clenched into fists in his pockets, and his earlobes were covered with a layer of red.
Lu Fangchi didn't feel embarrassed anymore as he showed all his embarrassment. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat." The two of them walked inside. Zhou Zheng lowered his head and scratched his hot earlobe. "What about you?"
Lu Fangchi was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"Did you miss me?" Zhou Zheng asked in a low voice with an embarrassed face.
Lu Fangchi still smiled.
Zhou Zheng was a little annoyed, "A little bit?" As he spoke, he raised his elbow and poked Lu Fangchi.
Lu Fangchi stepped back and nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes."
No matter what his tone was, admitting it meant it happened, and Zhou Zheng's lips curled up high.
At this time, everyone went to the cafeteria to eat. Zhou Zheng took Lu Fangchi through the empty office area to his office and sat down. He naturally raised his hand to take the coat that Lu Fangchi took off and hung it on the hanger. When he went back, the other party had already taken the lunch boxes out of the bag and lifted the lids one by one.
The food was steaming hot. Zhou Zheng ordered braised spare ribs, scallion chicken, stir-fried shrimps, and stewed eggs with basil intestines. He also added a little something special - a plate of lush green lettuce with oyster sauce.
Zhou Zheng frowned. He didn't like eating vegetables.
Lu Fangchi naturally caught the expression on Zhou Zheng's face and said first: "You don't eat anything green when it comes to meat and vegetables."
"Oh." Zhou Zheng replied honestly.
Alpha stretched out his hand to break open the chopsticks, picked up a chopstick of ribs and threw it into his mouth, took two bites with the rice, and raised his head again, "Do you want to eat more?"
Lu Fangchi: "No, I'm full."
Zhou Zheng nodded without any reluctance. Perhaps he was really hungry, so he started eating again.
Lu Fangchi sat next to him and watched him eat. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Until the office door was suddenly pushed open, I heard the voice before I saw the person: "How can you eat instant noodles? I changed the place today. Take a look at it..."
Assistant Liu looked at the two people sitting on the sofa and the food on the coffee table in front of them, and swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach, "Looks like it's not necessary, huh?"
"Yeah," Zhou Zheng raised his chin, "give it to others. I have food to eat. Xiaochi gave it to me."
The last half sentence sounded so impressive that Liu Zhu got goosebumps all over his body as he left the office with his lunch box.
Time was running out and Zhou Zheng ate quickly, finishing in about ten minutes. He devoured several dishes like crazy, except for the lettuce with oyster sauce, half of which was left.
"Is it tasty?" asked Lu Fangchi.
"It's OK. You gave it to me." Zhou Zheng took two pieces of tissue to wipe his mouth and answered casually, but he was expressing the specialness of Lu Fangchi all the time.
This may sound disgusting, but it really pleases Lu Fangchi. After all, no one hates being recognized for their efforts.
Seeing Zhou Zheng packing up the takeout boxes and putting them into a paper bag, Lu Fangchi stood up and said, "You go ahead, I'm leaving now."
Zhou Zheng then stood up and took down the coat from the hanger to put it on Lu Fangchi. Lu Fangchi wanted to do it himself, but the alpha didn't let go, as if he wanted to help Lu Fangchi put it on.
Well, it doesn't matter. Lu Fangchi stretched out his hand and let Zhou Zheng put on his coat for him.
Zhou Zheng sent Lu Fangchi out. The employees were still having their meal and not at their desks, which was a good thing to avoid becoming gossip about private negotiations.
When he reached the elevator entrance, Zhou Zheng hesitated to press the elevator button.
"I want to go back with you," Zhou Zheng sighed, complaining with a gloomy face, "I don't want to work overtime anymore."
His colleagues can empathize with him. Lu Fangchi knows how exhausting it is to work overtime to catch up with the deadline. "How long will it take?"
"Soon, maybe in two or three days." Zhou Zheng replied.
Lu Fangchi: "Then you just hold on."
Zhou Zheng nodded, still looking unhappy, with his pink lips pursed and his eyelids drooping unhappily.
People are really strange. It is the same face, but Zhou Zheng used to give Lu Fangchi the feeling of being arrogant and defiant, but now he always seems to be acting coquettishly and aggrieved.
Maybe Jiang Mingyi was right. As long as his attitude was good, Zhou Zheng's face was indeed very much to Lu Fangchi's liking. Seeing him show this expression, Lu Fangchi couldn't help but give him a little sweetness. "What do you want to eat tomorrow?" The young man pressed the down button and asked casually.
Zhou Zheng's expression really changed. His melancholy disappeared and stars appeared in his eyes. Was this what he thought it meant?
"Braised pork ribs, braised chicken, and eggs with soy sauce," Zhou Zheng said quickly, and then added: "Vegetables are all fine. Please help me choose."
"Got it." Lu Fangchi nodded.
The elevator just reached the eighth floor, and the elevator door opened with a "ding" sound. Lu Fangchi stepped in and turned to face Zhou Zheng who was standing outside the elevator.
The words had already hinted clearly, but Zhou Zheng still wanted to ask for a precise answer: "Will you send it to me tomorrow?"
His eyes were full of joy and anticipation. Lu Fangchi was willing to let him continue to be so happy. "Yes, I'll send you off until you finish your overtime work."
The elevator door slowly closed, descending from "8" to "-1".
When Lu Fangchi walked out of the elevator, his cell phone buzzed in his pocket. He took it out and looked at it.
Xiao Zhou Zhou: Can you be my boyfriend?
Again, Lu Fangchi clicked "bu" on the screen, but before he finished typing, the other party withdrew a message.
Xiao Zhou Zhou: Let me know when you get home.
Xiao Zhou Zhou: I'll wait for you tomorrow.
