◇ Chapter 62 = =?

Lu Fangchi has a lot of good points. He is the most soft-hearted person in the world. Even if I make him very sad, he is still willing to give me a chance.

Although that is what people say, in the adult world, "accepting pursuit" is tantamount to telling the other person, I am willing to be with you, as long as you show a little bit of interest.

Zhou Zheng is like a student taking an open-book test with his textbook. He knows the answer is in the textbook, but he cannot write down the process of solving the problem well.

Alpha tried his best, asking about her well-being every morning, noon and night, giving her love lunch boxes three days out of seven, and finding ways to meet her every weekend.

Lu Fangchi was just like he made his own requests. He would refuse something if he didn't want to do it, but he would not completely deny it just because of who he was. In fact, he almost never refused anything.

Zhou Zheng even managed to stay overnight at Lu Fangchi's house a few times. He stuffed his toothbrush on the sink in the bathroom and left several sets of clothes in the cloakroom, adding some of his own traces to the house.

Lu Fangchi seemed easy to pursue, but in fact, he was very difficult to pursue. I don't know if the order was wrong, most people would be together-kiss-sleep. But he and Lu Fangchi were-kiss-sleep-pursue, from spring to summer, the trees turned green, the weather became hot, and the two of them were still not officially together.

Zhou Zheng clicked on the pinned note "Super nice and a little hard to get Lu Bao" and started typing: Are you there? Are you there? >O

Baby Lu: = =?

Probably influenced by Zhou Zheng, Lu Fangchi now occasionally sends emoticons. Zhou Zheng is always touched by them and feels that Lu Fangchi is a furry and cute cat head.

Zhou Zheng: It’s Monday. Can I request a date?

They met three times a week, spending two whole days together on weekends, once during the week, and occasionally twice more, all thanks to Zhou Zheng's persistence.

Lu Baobao was typing and replied with five words after half an hour: Didn’t I just see it = =?

Zhou Zheng hits a straight ball: I miss you. ,,^,,

Normally, Lu Fangchi would agree to this, but today he responded with two cold words: No.

Lu Baobao: This week is a bit busy.

Zhou Zheng: Okay. ^_ _ `

Zhou Zheng: Then when are you free?

The nickname area changed to "Input..." and then a white box bubble popped up on the screen: Thursday.

Zhou Zheng immediately looked through the work schedule on Dingding. He had a lot of work to do on Thursday and also had social events in the evening, so he would have to work overtime.

This won’t do, so Zhou Zheng found Assistant Liu and sent him a message: Can you please move my work to Thursday? I have something to do.

Liu Zhu replied immediately: What’s the matter?

Zhou Zheng: It’s none of your business.

Assistant Liu: …

Liu Zhu: Speechless, it can’t be moved.

Zhou Zheng: Really?

Assistant Liu: What's your problem? What can you say? It's been three months and I still haven't gotten my wife.

Zhou Zheng: That’s why I want to chase my wife. I just want to ask if you can move.

Assistant Liu extracted useful information from it: Do you want to live with Lu Fangchi?

Zhou Zheng: Yes.

Liu Zhu: I can move.

Another reminder: dress nicely that day.

Who is he looking down on? Zhou Zheng always dresses handsomely every time he goes to see his wife.

Zhou Zheng: You are talking too much.

Lu Fangchi was indeed very busy this week, but not because of work. He left work fifteen minutes earlier every day, and when he took the elevator to the underground garage, he looked around carefully, fearing that he would be blocked by Zhou Zheng.

Only after making sure that there was no cat in any corner did Lu Fangchi get into the car with peace of mind and drive towards his destination.

Lu Fangchi parked the car, pushed the door and walked into a store with simple white decoration. There were six white cooking tables in the room, each of which was polished to a bright shine, and the tables were filled with kitchen utensils and condiments.

The chef in white cook's coat heard the chime at the door, walked up to greet him, and nodded, "Mr. Lu, let's get ready and start now."

Lu Fangchi nodded, put on an apron, rolled up his sleeves, walked to the cooking table and waited for the chef's instructions.

He signed up for a cooking class. In order to learn quickly, he chose Western food that looked good and was easier to cook, and decided on a menu: fillet steak, garlic butter shrimp, eggs Benedict, seafood risotto, and small cakes.

Lu Fangchi planned it very clearly for himself. From Monday to Wednesday, he would learn two dishes a day, and leave the last day for small cakes. In this way, he could cook a delicious dinner for Zhou Zheng on Thursday, August 9th. That day was Zhou Zheng's birthday.

Lu Fangchi had promised to give a chance, not only to Zhou Zheng, but also to himself. Although Alpha was wrong, the accusation was not completely groundless, and it overlapped with Xie Xing's previous words. Lu Fangchi later reflected on it.

He thinks he may be a little emotionally cold? In fact, he is not heartless, but he often expresses little, which makes people mistake him for being cold. It is his problem that his partner cannot feel the love.

Lu Fangchi has always been frank, admitting that he likes someone. It's not that he can't feel the changes in Zhou Zheng in the past few months. People are made of flesh and blood, and he also wants to be nice to Zhou Zheng and take concrete actions to let Alpha feel it, so that he won't make wild assumptions because of his ordinary words without tone.

While I was thinking, my cell phone dinged and the screen lit up. Zhou Xiaogou: Overtime QWQ.

Lu Fangchi pushed the faucet away with the back of his hand, rinsed and dried his hands that were covered with seasoning, and clicked to reply: Come on. (˙3˙)

Puppy Zhou: ^><^

Lu Fangchi heard a question in his ear, "Any news about your lover?" Lu Fangchi looked up at the chef. The chef was of a certain age, with graying hair and crow's feet at the corners of his eyes when he smiled.

Lu Fangchi nodded in acknowledgement and asked, "How did you know?"

The chef raised his finger and pointed to his eyes and replied, "There is love in your eyes."

He also said: "Things made with care are the most delicious food in the world."

Lu Fangchi curled his lips, "Thank you for your good wishes."

Yesterday's fillet steak and garlic butter shrimp were high-quality ingredients, and they were easy to make and delicious if you mastered the cooking time. Today's eggs Benedict were a little more complicated, with a few more steps, mainly because the Dutch sauce on top took some time. Take the egg yolk and add lemon juice, melt some butter, heat it in water and stir until it thickens. Then boil a poached egg, pick it up and put it on a plate with side dishes, and finally pour the Dutch sauce on it. It's finally done.

He immediately went on to learn the next dish. There was too much preparation work required for seafood risotto. Just listening to the chef's description, it sounded very complicated. For a novice like Lu Fangchi, it would take at least an hour to prepare it, and there was a possibility that the dish would be ruined and taste bad.

Forget it. Lu Fangchi tapped his fingers on the table, interrupting the chef's instruction, "Can you change to a simpler dish that takes less time and is less likely to go wrong?"

The chef thought for a moment and then answered, "For example, creamy lemon salmon and waterless curry rice."

Lu Fangchi felt that he was still missing a main course, so he chose the second one, "waterless curry."

Curry tastes good in anything and the steps are not complicated. Just cut the ingredients and throw them into the pot. When they are cooked, add the curry cubes and a golden pot of curry will be ready.

Lu Fangchi tasted it and it tasted delicious. It turned out to be the simplest and most delicious dish he could make out of the four.

At eight o'clock, Lu Fangchi opened the door and walked out, and the wind chimes rang out.

When I got home at 8:30, Lu Fangchi had the two dishes he had just made for dinner. After tasting them carefully, he concluded that the eggs could be more tender and runny. The cooking time should be shorter.

You can also add more onions to the curry rice, which will blend perfectly with the curry and give it a sweet flavor.

While I was thinking, the phone next to me dinged.

Lu Fangchi slid away, and Zhou Xiaogou said: I’m finally off work.

Lu Fangchi patted Zhou Xiaogou's portrait, and the small square shook twice.

The next second, Zhou Zheng's video call came in and Lu Fangchi pressed the answer button.

Zhou was walking, and the video was a little shaky. He got into the car, stuck his phone on the stand, and asked Lu Fangchi: "What are you doing?"

Lu Fangchi raised the spoon in his hand to indicate that he was eating.

"What did you eat? Let me see." Zhou Zheng asked and started the car.

"It's not instant noodles." Lu Fangchi replied without turning the camera or showing Zhou Zheng what he was eating.

Zhou Zheng didn't seem to care much about what Lu Fangchi had eaten. As long as it wasn't instant noodles, he nodded slightly and said, "I haven't eaten yet."

Alpha looked straight ahead and turned the steering wheel. "I was thinking if you haven't eaten yet, I'll go to your place and cook a meal for us to eat together."

Zhou Zheng stopped using his usual tricks and came here to cook at this time. He didn't even know what time it was when he finished. It was a good opportunity for him to stay overnight, killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Fangchi curled his eyes and said to him, "See you on Thursday. It won't make a difference in a day or two."

Zhou Zheng sneered unhappily and said reluctantly, "Okay."

The two of them were on the phone until Zhou Zheng returned home. Lu Fangchi helped him order takeout while he was driving. Just as Zhou Zheng entered the hallway, the doorbell rang. The delivery man said, "Your takeout."

Zhou Zheng raised his hand to take it, nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Hurry up and eat. I'm hanging up." said Lu Fangchi.

Zhou Zheng opened the brown paper bag and started to unpack the takeaway. "Okay, you can hang it up."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Fangchiwo went to the sofa to look at the recommendations. He planned to buy some things to decorate his home and add some atmosphere.

After looking around, I found that the key points are candlesticks, incense and flowers.

Lu Fangchi sat up straighter and started to choose flowers. He ordered red roses, which were hot and versatile. He ordered ninety-nine roses and chose the delivery time as five o'clock in the evening of the day after tomorrow.

There were still two days left, and Lu Fangchi couldn't help but start looking forward to it, and couldn't wait to see what expression Zhou Zheng would have when the time came. He would be happy, he liked romance and ceremony.

Time flies, two days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was Thursday.

On this day, Lu Fangchi left work two hours early, drove to the supermarket to carefully select the ingredients, and went home carrying a large shopping bag.

Lu Fangchi put on an apron and prepared to show off his skills. It shouldn't be a big problem, as he only needed to make four dishes. The small cake had already been made at the baking center yesterday and brought back directly.

At six o'clock, half an hour before Zhou Zheng got off work, Lu Fangchi sent him a message in advance: Can you get off work on time? I'll pick you up.

Xiaogou Zhou: I have a car. But it's not impossible for you to pick me up.

Seeing his poor mouth, Lu Fangchi narrowed his eyes.

Puppy Zhou: But something happened suddenly, so I will be late for half an hour. Wait for me, baby.

Seven o'clock. Lu Fangchi looked at the ingredients that had just been put into the pot in front of him. It was OK. There was more time.

Lu Fangchi: Okay, I’ll wait for you.

At 6:30, Lu Fangchi turned off the fire and took the curry rice out of the pot.

She set the plates, lit the candles and aromatherapy, placed the big bouquet of roses on the table, and adjusted its position left or right.

At 6:45, I went out to pick up Zhou Zheng.

At seven o'clock, Lu Fangchi arrived at the company basement, took out his mobile phone and typed: dao...

Zhou Zheng’s phone request popped up on the screen.
