◇ Chapter 45: A Crazy Man
This scene looks familiar. It happened the same thing a few months ago. I came home late at night and saw someone standing at my door.
The difference is that Zhou Zheng looked as pitiful as a puppy at that time, but now he has his hands in his pockets, looking down at him from a high position.
After only a few days, Lu Fangchi could not find any trace of Zhou Xiaogou in him, as if those whispers of love were short-lived, or just his fantasy, a dream.
Zhou Zheng's face was gloomy, his eyes were as dark as ink, and he asked, "Where have you been?"
This question was inexplicable. How could it be related to him? Lu Fangchi did not answer, but just asked: "What's the matter?"
Lu Fangchi's irrelevant answer and distant tone aroused Zhou Zheng's anger. He curled his lips and sneered, and his red lips uttered malicious speculation: "Did you go to see a wild man?"
Lu Fangchi frowned, unwilling to pay attention to his nonsense, and walked forward to go home without paying any attention to him.
However, Zhou Zheng moved his feet to block the door, blocking the way like a mountain.
Lu Fangchi pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, and said patiently: "Get out of the way."
Zhou Zheng remained motionless, the harsh and harsh words echoing above his head, "You're not going to answer, is that because I was right?"
Lu Fangchi frowned. He didn't have the time nor the mood to argue with him. He raised his hand and rudely pushed Zhou Zheng to the side.
Zhou Zheng seemed to have not expected Lu Fangchi to do this. He staggered and had to press his heels against the corner of the wall to avoid falling. It can be seen how much effort Lu Fangchi put in.
Zhou Zheng widened his eyes, staring at Lu Fangchi's ruthless back in disbelief, then stepped forward and grabbed Lu Fangchi's wrist fiercely.
With this movement, I saw the white tourniquet on the back of Lu Fangchi's hand, and then I smelled the faint smell of disinfectant on his body, as well as the redness half-hidden by the mask.
Zhou Zheng was stunned, and he loosened his grip on Lu Fangchi's hand, frowned, and asked, "Are you sick?"
Lu Fangchi did not answer. He coldly pulled back his wrist and lowered his head to identify the fingerprints.
"Ding Dong, the door is unlocked, welcome home." Lu Fangchi reached out, opened the door, and walked in. He quickly turned around and blocked the door, stopping Zhou Zheng's foot from following in.
Zhou Zheng was not as assertive as before. He moved his lips and said, "You deleted my fingerprint. I waited for you at the door for more than three hours."
"So what?" Lu Fangchi asked expressionlessly.
Zhou Zheng bit his lip, raised his eyes and saw the expression on Lu Fangchi's face. Something in his eyes seemed to be broken into pieces. He said with bloodshot eyes: "I'll pack up."
That was a good reason. Lu Fangchi loosened his grip, leaving a gap for him to come in.
Lu Fangchi stood at the door with his arms folded across his chest, watching Zhou Zheng's movements. He reached out to open the shoe cabinet and prepared to change his shoes.
As soon as I opened it, I realized something was wrong. Most of the space in the shoe cabinet was empty. At a glance, all my shoes were gone, not even a pair of slippers left.
Zhou Zheng looked at Lu Fangchi, he looked away and lowered his eyelids, and said coldly: "No need to change, just come in."
Zhou Zheng pursed his lips and was stunned for a moment, but finally took off his shoes and walked in barefoot.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw boxes piled up as high as a person in the corner of the wall. Lu Fangchi's voice came to my ears: "Everything is packed, you can just move it away."
The redness in Zhou Zheng's eyes grew even brighter. It had only been a few days, and he had already deleted his fingerprints and even packed up his things. He was so impatient.
The alpha's Adam's apple rolled, his brows furrowed and his nose twitched twice, as if he was trying hard to hold back something. He turned to look at Lu Fangchi and said, "I want to get checked."
It would take a lot of time to open and check so many boxes one by one. It was already 1:30 in the morning and Lu Fangchi wanted to rest. He frowned slightly and said, "Nothing will be missing."
"Who would know?" Zhou Zheng snorted.
Yes, they originally had this kind of relationship where they didn't even look at each other and had no trust at all, so this request was reasonable. Lu Fangchi frowned and gave in: "Why don't you come over on the weekend?"
"Today," Zhou Zheng said stubbornly, his feet nailed to the spot, "I don't have time on the weekend."
Lu Fangchi thought about it and agreed. If a problem can be solved in one day, there is no need to delay it for several days. It is better to deal with it as soon as possible.
Okay, "You check it." Lu Fangchi agreed and sat on the sofa to watch Zhou Zheng check things.
He rolled up his sleeves and started moving boxes. He moved the stacked boxes one by one to the ground, spread them out to occupy most of the living room, and then began to open the boxes for inspection. He felt the edge of the tape for a long time, looking for the beginning, and finally found it. It didn't go smoothly when he tore it open, and it tore halfway. He started looking for the beginning again, and he hesitated for seven or eight minutes without success in opening a box.
Lu Fangchi, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he stood up, went to the study, got a utility knife and hit the cardboard box beside him.
Alpha reluctantly took up the utility knife to cut the tape, and finally successfully opened the first box. It was filled with shoes, most of which were packed and sent by Assistant Liu, and a small part were newly added later. There were also three pairs of shoes that were obviously one size smaller and belonged to Lu Fangchi.
Zhou Zheng placed the three pairs of shoes in front of Lu Fangchi and said, "You picked up the wrong ones." He meant that his inspection was necessary.
Lu Fangchi glanced at it and looked away, urging, "Check it out quickly."
He then opened the second box, and the third box. The more he checked, the uglier Zhou Zheng's face became.
The second box contains daily toiletries, such as shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, bath towel, skin care products, etc. I won't mention the toothbrush, towel and skin care products, but I have to pack up the shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste and other items that are used together for myself.
The second box was still manageable, but the third box of kitchen supplies was too obvious. Pots, bowls, pans, cups, and anything that he had used was packed in.
How come he was poisoned? Those who were poisoned by him are no longer safe?
Zhou Zheng had a gloomy face and opened the fourth box, the fifth box, the sixth box, the seventh box and the eighth box in a somewhat impatient manner... He finally confirmed his guess and the underlying logic of Lu Fangchi's packing.
As long as it was something he had used, from a cup to a four-piece set of bed sheets, anything he bought himself, bought for Lu Fangchi, or something he didn't pay for but was related to him, such as the same style of shoes and clothes of the same color, all were collected.
In short, Lu Fangchi doesn't want anything that has anything to do with him.
Zhou Zheng stood up and scanned the house. Everywhere he looked was empty. Everything related to him was wiped out. Alpha put his hands on his waist, rubbed his gums with his tongue, and touched his cheek. Good, it's really good. He smiled and nodded, looking at Lu Fangchi with a pair of scarlet eyes, raised his thumb, and said with gritted teeth: "You are really good."
Lu Fangchi frowned. Zhou Zheng's expression of being a victim made him feel uncomfortable. "Have you finished the examination?"
Zhou Zheng lowered his head to glance at the messy ground, and lightly nodded his chin, "Yeah."
"Then you can go." He said to shoo her away.
"Since you want to make such a clear distinction, just settle it thoroughly." Zhou Zheng said coldly, bent down and began to pick up the things under his feet.
Lu Fangchi frowned, not understanding, "What?"
Zhou Zheng picked up a pot and weighed it in his hand. Lu Fangchi felt that the alpha's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot. For a moment, he even worried that he was going to hit someone with the pot. Then he heard him say in a sinister tone: "How much? I don't want to take it for nothing."
"And these four pieces of equipment," Zhou Zheng kicked and kicked again, "pillow, cup, cutlery, comb, and nail clippers."
The alpha pointed and waved his hand to include them all. "Name your prices and I'll settle the bill for you."
Lu Fangchi frowned. How could he count so many things? This was not his original intention. "No need."
"I understand. Mr. Lu is a wealthy man and doesn't care about such trivial matters." Zhou Zheng nodded, misinterpreting maliciously.
Lu Fangchi frowned even deeper. What on earth was he going to do?
"But I'm different," Zhou Zhengfeng turned around and sneered at Lu Fangchi, "I'm poor and stingy, so I have to count."
Then Lu Fangchi saw him pull out a bottle of shampoo from the box, shook it and saw that only half of it was left. He said, "The original price of the shampoo was 198, and half of it is left. 198 divided by 2 equals 99. I'll round it up and give you 100."
Lu Fangchi blinked, not understanding what Zhou Zheng was talking about.
Zhou Zheng continued to dig and took out half a tube of toothpaste. "This toothpaste costs 128 yuan. I estimate that there are still two-thirds left. There is a decimal point when divided by three, so I'll give you 90 yuan."
"This shower gel is 580 yuan, but you like the scent, so I can just use the soap, so it's all yours, 600 yuan."
What do you mean? Even if it's rounded off, how can it be higher than the original price of a new one? No, what are you calculating?
Zhou Zheng took out his cell phone and started searching on Baidu, then raised the phone and waved it in front of Lu Fangchi.
Lu Fangchi saw clearly on the screen that "the average monthly salary of a nanny in City A is 15,000 yuan", but he didn't understand what this string of words had to do with them. He heard Zhou Zheng say, "I have lived in your house for half a year, and I am responsible for washing clothes and cooking. According to the average monthly salary of a nanny, you need to pay me 90,000 yuan. Oh, and there is also money for food. Forget it, just consider this an extra gift." Alpha waved his hand, seeming very generous.
Lu Fangchi felt that he was so angry that he actually followed Zhou Zheng's ridiculous logic and continued to talk, "What if I go on a business trip later and you work overtime, and you haven't cleaned up or cooked for a long time?"
"Not really," Zhou Zheng said like a scoundrel, "Just think of it as paid vacation. You didn't object at the time, did you?"
He recognized every word, but couldn't understand them when they were put together. Lu Fangchi rubbed his swollen temples, wondering if he had become mentally ill due to his illness.
"So how much should I give you?" asked Lu Fangchi.
Zhou Zheng continued to fiddle with the things, and he took out the engagement bracelet, dangling the black braided chain on his index finger. "This bracelet is three thousand five hundred, plus the one on my hand, you have to give me seven thousand."
Forget about the one he had taken care of, "Why are you blaming me for your own fault?" Lu Fangchi couldn't understand.
"Because I bought them all for you, I just picked up the leftovers. If they weren't for you, I wouldn't buy any, so they're yours," Zhou Zheng said.
Such a thief's logic! Lu Fangchi was so outrageous that he finally cursed him: "Are you sick?"
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and continued to add fuel to the fire, saying in a sly tone, "Why, you can't afford it?"
"You don't have to pay," the alpha shrugged and said mercifully, "Then you keep these things and I'll pay you."
Lu Fangchi took out his mobile phone with a gloomy face, did a quick mental calculation, rounded up the amount to an even number, and transferred two hundred thousand yuan.
He shook his phone and spat out two words: "Cleared."
Zhou Zheng's eyebrows were knitted into a frown, his eyes were red, his lips were tightly pursed, he swallowed and nodded slightly, "Okay."
Lu Fangchi winked at the things on the ground, indicating that he could leave.
Zhou Zheng silently lowered his head and squatted to pack his things, put them into cardboard boxes one by one, and sealed them one by one with tape.
This action lasted about ten minutes. After the eight large boxes were rearranged, he had to leave.
Zhou Zheng slowly opened his phone and called a Huolala, and even added a particularly harsh note: don't answer the call if you don't want to help move things for free.
The next second, a "Ding Dong" window popped up, indicating that a chef had accepted the order.
Speechless.
Zhou Zheng immediately clicked to cancel the order and started to complain: "Forget it, I don't want it. I can't move it."
【Author’s words】
Zhou Zheng: I have to find a way to get my wife to keep the things.
Lu Fangchi: A mean man who counts money after breaking up.
