◇ Chapter 35 Do you like me as I was before or as I am now?
Lu Fangchi's eyes lit up, and he strode to stand in front of Zhou Zheng. He found that the alpha's face was abnormally flushed and he was breathing out hot air. He was only wearing a flannel sweatshirt in the cold weather, and his hands on the sides of his legs were ice-cold.
Seeing this, Lu Fangchi immediately took off his coat and wrapped it around Zhou Zheng, then pulled the collar to tighten it. He reached out to feel the temperature of his forehead, and the scalding temperature passed into his palm. He was still burning.
Lu Fangchi reached down and took the alpha's hands that were resting on both sides of his legs, wrapped them in his palms, rubbed them, and blew out a breath of hot air before asking, "Why are you wearing so little?"
Zhou Zheng looked deep in his eyes and said nothing.
After being looked at by Zhou Zheng like this, Lu Fangchi realized that he probably saw everything that happened just now. Simulating a third-person perspective is indeed easy to cause misunderstanding. The look of Alpha needs an explanation.
Lu Fangchi licked his lips and said, "That was Xie Xing just now, do you remember him?"
Zhou Zheng nodded.
"We talked as we walked. This is a good place to go." Lu Fangchi explained as he led Zhou Zheng to the parking lot. "He saw us doing street interviews. He must have felt bad about it, so he came to find me."
Lu Fangchi frowned slightly, finding that explaining was a troublesome matter. He had to explain the whole story from beginning to end, and he also had to find the right measure and think of how to express it so that Zhou Zheng would accept it. After all, no one would like to hear news about their ex.
"My breakup with him was not peaceful. We didn't say goodbye properly. Today is the end of it. We won't bother each other in the future." Lu Fangchi walked to the car unknowingly, pressed the unlock button, and the two of them got into the car, one in front and one behind.
Lu Fangchi fiddled with the center console, and the air conditioner vents blew out warm air. He paused and said, "As for that hug...it was a bit sudden."
Lu Fangchi pursed his lips and suddenly didn't know what to say. He felt that no matter how he explained it, it was all so pale and powerless. Even if he had a thousand reasons, Zhou Zheng had the right to not accept it.
"It was just a sentimental hug at the end." Lu Fangchi spoke very quickly. It was hard to stand on his feet just by saying this. He closed his eyes and said, "It's my fault. I should have kept my distance from him."
Zhou Zheng hasn't said a word since then. It's unclear whether he's sick or angry. Lu Fangchi guessed it was probably the latter.
It was indeed his fault. Lu Fangchi reached out to pull the alpha's hand again. Fortunately, he did not shake it off. He admitted his mistake with a sincere attitude: "Baby, I was wrong. I didn't consider your feelings today. But please believe me, there is really nothing between him and me. We will not meet again in the future. If there is a special situation where we need to meet, you have to be present. Is this okay?"
Lu Fangchi admitted his mistakes with a good attitude. The deep meaning in Zhou Zheng's eyes finally loosened. He lowered his chin condescendingly and said, "Then you block him and delete him."
Lu Fangchi frowned, hesitated for two seconds, took out his phone and put it in Zhou Zheng's palm, "You come."
Zhou Zheng took the phone and opened WeChat. He clicked on the address book and scrolled down to the letter "X". He found "Xie Xing" and clicked to open it. The chat history stopped in June last year. Except for a green box with "OK" at the top, the rest were white boxes.
Xie Xing: [smiles]

The picture is dim, with dark blue and dark red colors mixed together, and rows of small wine glasses filled with transparent liquid. The time of posting is 1 a.m., and the late-night drinking implies something self-evident.
"Xie Xing" withdrew a message.
Xie Xing: You sent it to the wrong person.
Xie Xing:.
It was almost like he directed and acted it all by himself, and Lu Fangchi did not respond a single word.
Zhou Zheng couldn't stop sliding his fingers upwards, wanting to see what they said above.
Noticing the alpha's move, Lu Fangchi quickly reached out and pressed the phone screen, "There's nothing to see, delete it."
Lu Fangchi's palm covered the screen firmly and powerfully. Zhou Zheng had no choice but to give up and click the three dots in the upper right corner to add the user to the blacklist.
Go to user permissions again, bring up the blacklist of contacts, and click delete to eliminate the problem forever.
In this way, the other party cannot send friend requests, and the mainland pool cannot add them anymore.
Zhou Zheng returned the phone to Lu Fangchi, and saw him reading the blacklist of contacts again and again. His eyes were gloomy, and he curled his lips and snorted coldly: "Can't bear to part with it?"
There is actually such an operation, interesting. Lu Fangchi suddenly heard a voice, and he didn't react for a moment. He looked up with a puzzled look and said "Huh?"
"Nothing." Zhou Zheng moved his lips and turned his head to look out the window.
Lu Fangchi didn't think much about it. He leaned over and fastened the seat belt for the alpha, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove out of the underground garage.
The car was driving in the middle of the road, and the bustling night scene passed by one by one. In a moment of distraction, Lu Fangchi's mind suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized the hidden meaning behind Zhou Zheng's words "I can't bear to part with it".
You don't want to delete it yourself, so let me do it.
"3, 2, 1" The green light turned yellow and then red. Lu Fangchi stepped on the brakes and the car stopped. He tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips and looked sideways at Zhou Zheng who was sitting in the passenger seat.
The alpha lowered his eyelashes, his expression was listless, and his flushed cheeks and drooping lips made him look inexplicably fragile.
The light in the left side mirror kept flashing. Lu Fangchi came to his senses and looked up to find that the light was green. He quickly stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.
I must have been overthinking it. Zhou Zheng would not say such sharp words.
Turn the wheel to reverse into the parking space, straighten the car and park it, then step on the brake and shift the car to P gear.
The two got out of the car one after the other. Lu Fangchi took the initiative to reach out to pull Zhou Zheng. The alpha was probably still unhappy, with a cold expression and not very enthusiastic.
But he didn't let go, and let Lu Fangchi pull him with a stern face.
Until he went to bed, he reached out and slapped off the night light, and suddenly fell into darkness. Lu Fangchi closed his eyes and prepared to sleep, and then he heard a faint sound from behind, and then he was enveloped by a heat source.
Zhou Zheng came over and hugged Lu Fangchi. He lowered his head and rubbed it in the young man's neck with a bit of grievance, then opened his mouth and took a light bite unwillingly.
Lu Fangchi knew he was in the wrong, so he let the alpha vent his dissatisfaction. He raised his arm and pinched his earlobe to soothe him.
The hot and humid air caused an itch in his breath, and Lu Fangchi shrank his neck unconsciously. Zhou Zheng asked in his ear: "Do you like me before or now?"
Huh? The topic jumped a little too quickly. Lu Fangchi's brain froze for two seconds, and he didn't answer directly: "What's wrong?"
"Just asking." Zhou Zheng muttered, "You tell me."
"Isn't it all you?" Lu Fangchi didn't want to express too much opinion on this topic.
"They're different. You choose one." Zhou Zheng started to insist.
Lu Fangchi felt that Zhou Zheng was a little abnormal tonight, and he intuitively thought that this question was a trap, so he tried his best to balance it out: "I like it, I like it."
"You're lying." Zhou Zheng turned over and sat up, staring down at Lu Fangchi, "You clearly said that our relationship was not good before."
Having barely slept last night and having attended a half-day intensive meeting today, Lu Fangchi began to feel sleepy the moment he sank into bed. He tried hard to lift his heavy eyelids and replied, "Good boy, I'm sleepy."
"Answer my questions before you go to sleep." Zhou Zheng insisted on getting a real answer, so he raised his hand and pushed Lu Fangchi.
Feeling sleepy, Lu Fangchi dodged the shove and began to babble: "I think you are cuter now..."
