Chapter 22 I'm About to Find a Partner

At six o'clock, Lu Fangchi got off work on time, took the keys to the underground garage, and drove to the fast food restaurant.

Walking into the fast food restaurant, Lu Fangchi took out his phone and read the dishes on the screen: "Spicy shredded pork, spicy shredded chicken, pineapple ribs, braised eggplant, shredded potatoes, stir-fried chrysanthemum. Take it away, thank you."

The auntie who served the food nodded in response and quickly packed the dishes into the take-away boxes.

Lu Fangchi had been visiting the restaurant for several days in a row. His outstanding temperament and superior appearance made my aunt want to match him up with her. After chatting with him for a while and learning that Lu Fangchi bought so many of them for others, my aunt gave up her idea and even joked when she handed the takeaway to Lu Fangchi: "Your partner loves big fish."

Lu Fangchi paused, not understanding how his aunt could have such a misunderstanding. However, he didn't have the habit of explaining too much to a stranger. He took the hand, smiled, and said politely, "Yes, he likes it."

Lu Fangchi paid the bill, drove back, and walked into the elevator with the takeaway.

"Ding", the elevator reached the eighth floor, and Lu Fangchi looked up and saw Zhou Zheng standing at the elevator entrance.

Lu Fangchi stepped out of the elevator, Zhou Zheng came up to him and naturally took the takeaway bag from his hand, and the two walked towards the office together.

Zhou Zheng took out the takeout boxes and arranged them, then asked Lu Fangchi to sit down and eat together. This was the same process for the past few days. In order to improve efficiency and avoid unnecessary time waste, Lu Fangchi simply bought two portions and took them over to eat with Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng broke open a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Lu Fangchi first, then opened a can of Coke, inserted a straw into it and placed it in front of him. Then he broke open a pair of chopsticks for himself and took two mouthfuls of rice. In between, he looked up and said to Lu Fangchi, "You don't need to send me tomorrow. I'm almost done here."

This was the fourth day that Lu Fangchi had delivered meals, which was about the same time as Zhou Zheng had estimated. He nodded, picked up an egg and put it in his mouth, asking, "What about tonight?"

Zhou Zheng raised his head and noticed a thin silver and black braided chain on Lu Fangchi's wrist when she raised it during dinner. It looked very familiar, like the one he had lost on New Year's Eve.

Zhou Zheng didn't reply for a long time. Lu Fangchi glanced at him and saw that his eyes were staring at his wrist. Then he realized it.

Lu Fangchi casually raised his hand and took a tissue. The silver-black chain swayed in front of Zhou Zheng. He raised his eyebrows and said "Hmm?"

Zhou Zhengcai came back to his senses from the small brown mole on the lower part of his wrist. He sighed and said, "I have to do a test first. I think it will be late. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a press conference tomorrow, so I can leave work early."

"Got it." Lu Fangchi nodded.

Lu Fangchi has no habit of talking while eating and does not talk while sleeping. Usually Zhou Zheng is the one who talks, but today he is too quiet. His deep eyes become even deeper. He eats slower and no one knows what he is thinking.

After the meal, Lu Fangchi took out a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth. It was time to leave.

Zhou Zheng was packing up his takeout boxes, looking a little absent-minded.

While walking Lu Fangchi the short distance to the elevator, Zhou Zheng's Adam's apple rolled. He opened his mouth numerous times to ask something, but swallowed it back in the end.

Lu Fangchi naturally saw his hesitant expression. Seeing that the number of words on the electronic screen continued to rise and was about to jump to the number "8", he would miss the chance if he didn't ask.

Lu Fangchi looked straight ahead without looking at Zhou Zheng, and took the initiative to break the situation: "Go ahead, what do you want to ask?"

Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and slid it across his nose twice, saying, "Your bracelet..."

Only half of the words were said, and the implication was self-evident.

Lu Fangchi took two steps sideways, turned sideways and raised his hand towards Zhou Zheng. The silver-black color reappeared and swayed. "What are you talking about?"

"Yeah." Zhou Zheng's eyes wandered a little. He thought it looked a bit like the one he lost, but he was afraid that he was just being too sentimental.

Seeing the worried expression on Zhou Zheng's face, Lu Fangchi suddenly had evil intentions. He sighed and replied, "Someone gave it to me."

Others, who?

Then it’s not the one that belongs to me, after all, the one I sent out was lost.

But I sent him another one, the style is exactly the same, the only difference is the color, red and black are not much different, the red is obviously more suitable for him. But it was returned.

Same chain but different destiny. If it’s a gift from someone, just wear it on his hand.

It looks good, but it’s not a gift from myself.

Zhou Zheng blinked, feeling a little sad, and said "oh" in a pitifully small voice.

Zhou Zheng's drooping eyes showed that he was thinking about something. Lu Fangchi withdrew his teasing intention and explained: "You gave it to me, right? I found it on the carpet in my office."

Zhou Zheng is the one who can become brilliant with a little sunshine. The dullness in his eyes disappeared instantly, and when he raised his eyes, they became sparkling. "Oh, oh, it was given by me as a gift. It fell off at that time, so I changed it for a spare one."

"I guessed it. Let's go." Lu Fangchi raised his bracelet-wearing wrist and waved it. The thin silver-black chain glowed in the dim light. He walked into the elevator.

The elevator door closed slowly, and the numbers on the electronic screen began to jump gradually. Zhou Zheng was still standing there, grinning foolishly.

He accepted it, and he wore it! Zhou Zheng put his hand under his lips to secretly express his joy. What does this mean?

The answer was about to come out when a hand suddenly patted my shoulder.

Zhou Zheng was immersed in his own little world, feeling ecstatic, but was suddenly attacked from behind. He was so frightened that he shivered and his hair stood on end.

I turned around and took a closer look. It was Liu Zhu.

The culprit not only showed no apology, but also pushed the frame of his glasses and said with disgust: "Can you please stop smiling so disgustingly at the elevator?"

Zhou Zheng was in such a bad mood that he didn't want to argue with him. He stood up straight, straightened his clothes, and said proudly, "I'm going to find a partner soon."

"Who is it? Where is he?" Assistant Liu turned around on the spot, looking around frantically in an exaggerated manner.

"Psychopath," Zhou Zheng insulted him mercilessly, and then he raised his chin and pointed at the elevator: "He just left, just delivered me a meal, and wore the bracelet I gave him."

I deliberately emphasized the two words "戴" and "我".

Assistant Liu chuckled, his face full of contempt: "That's all you can do. You gave it to him, not him to you. What are you so happy about?"

"What do you know? Why doesn't he wear the ones given by others, but only the ones given by me? It shows that he loves me." Zhou Zheng said arrogantly.

Liu Zhu was stunned by Zhou Zheng's dog-licking remarks, and seeing that the sweetness and complacency on the alpha's face did not seem fake, he changed his mockery to become serious, reached out and grabbed Zhou Zheng's arm, and confirmed: "Zheng, don't say that you have been living together for almost three months, and the progress is only that he wears the bracelet you gave him."

Zhou Zheng's handsome face turned red when he heard that, and he stiffened his neck to save face: "I even slept in his bed!"

"Oh?" Assistant Liu raised his eyebrows and emphasized the two words: "Asleep?"

Obviously, the two of them were talking about different things. Zhou Zheng interrupted Liu Zhu's dirty talk and said, "Clean your mind."

Assistant Liu: "Then kiss?"

Zhou Zheng: "What kiss? We are not even together yet."

Oh, that means nothing.

Liu Zhu shrugged and shook his head, and made a sharp comment: "The rule for adults to pursue is to flirt but not chase. You have to fish for him. If someone's eyes are enough to attract you, how can you be so confused?"

Zhou Zheng obviously couldn't agree with Liu Zhu's words, so he turned around and left.

Assistant Liu shouted at the tall and strong figure, "Don't blame me for not warning you. You won't be able to catch up with him even if you keep chasing him like this for a hundred years. The three months are almost up, and you won't be able to stay at his house for much longer."

Zhou Zheng's steps obviously paused, and after hesitating for a while, he turned around and walked back.

"Then tell me, how do we chase her?"

-

Lu Fangchi walked out of the elevator, took out his key to unlock the car, and stepped into the car.

He raised his hand to the steering wheel and his eyes fell on the thin silver-black braided bracelet on his wrist.

I have to say Zhou Zheng has a good taste. This bracelet is low-key yet has a touch of design. It adds a sense of refinement when worn on the wrist. It is also one of the few accessories that Lu Fangchi can appreciate.

In fact, no matter red or black, they all look good.

Lu Fangchi reached out and stroked the silver metal on the bracelet, recalling the scene when he discovered it.

It was indeed found on the carpet in the office, but it was not found by Lu Fangchi himself.

Not long after Lu Fangchi arrived at the office today, the cleaning staff pushed the door open and handed him a bracelet, saying that they found it in the corner of the compartment under the carpet while cleaning.

Lu Fangchi was a thoughtful person, and he almost instantly pieced together all the details of that day, which led to the quarrel between Xie Xing and Zhou Zheng.

Knowing these two people, we can roughly deduce the scene at that time. Xie Xing found the bracelet and picked it up to play with it, and may even have said a few provocative words. Zhou Zheng was enraged. The two of them fell while fighting for it, and disappeared because it was too small. Zhou Zheng was completely annoyed and reached out to pinch Xie Xing's wrist.

In fact, Lu Fangchi had no intention of helping Xie Xing at the time. He knew Xie Xing's temper too well and knew that he was definitely not completely innocent.

He just solved the problem objectively and realistically, following the gentleman's demeanor - alphas cannot lay hands on omegas.

It was not until he saw this bracelet that Lu Fangchi realized the grievance that Zhou Zheng had been hesitant to speak about at the time.

Then he stayed up for several nights to help with work, made a fireworks app and bought a bracelet to please me, but in the end all he got was a request for an apology from him.

What happened next?

I couldn't get a taxi and walked for an hour to get home. I was sulking until late at night and came to make peace, but the second bracelet I gave was returned to me.

Lu Fangchi held the corner of his lips and felt a little sympathy for this silly dog. He was so well-behaved.

So I put on this bracelet. It won't hurt to wear it for a while, and I will give it back as a gift when the time comes. So in the end, I bought it myself.

That's right, Lu Fangchi rationalized his behavior, ignored the slight weirdness in his heart, started the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the underground garage.

Many things cannot stand up to scrutiny, and if you look into them, they become horror stories. Lu Fangchi went home and took a hot bath. Even as he lay on the bed, the left atrium in his chest was still echoing the "bang, bang" sound.

Lu Fangchi reached out and pressed his heart, wondering if he stayed up too late and had an irregular heartbeat at such a young age?

But twenty-eight doesn't seem too young, three years older than Zhou Zheng...

No, stop. Lu Fangchi shook his head, why did he think of him again, what does it have to do with him.

After counting dogs to 2,899, Lu Fangchi gave up in a sudden collapse and found himself becoming more and more awake. He opened his eyes, stared at the dim ceiling, and reached for his cell phone.

The moment the phone screen lit up, Lu Fangchi squinted his eyes. It took him a moment to adjust and see the time clearly - 05:35.

Damn, this one is on point.

Lu Fangchi turned off his phone, lay down again, and began to force himself to sleep. The company would hold an annual meeting tomorrow and he had to attend. If he didn't sleep, he would not be able to get up tomorrow.
