Seeing Zhong Linyu's speechless expression, Feng Yuxiao smiled again.
He actually stood up from his office chair.
She carried the dumplings gracefully to Zhong Linyu's side and sat down directly.
"Your dumplings are delicious. You must have been busy for a long time, right?"
Zhong Linyu rubbed his thighs sheepishly: "Well... actually, it wasn't that long."
Feng Yuxiao smiled faintly and handed over the only pair of chopsticks: "Eat together, consider it as celebrating my birthday."
Zhong Linyu's eyes practically lit up.
He simply couldn't believe that Feng Yuxiao would share a pair of chopsticks with him!
She quickly wiped her hands on her clothes, took the chopsticks, and asked incredulously, "Is this alright?"
"Of course! We're friends, right?"
"Yes, haha, yes, we are friends."
Seeing Zhong Linyu start eating, the initial aloofness and indifference in Feng Yuxiao's eyes had disappeared.
She actually stood up again.
He walked to Liu Kai's desk, opened the side cabinet, and took out a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor).
He shook the bottle at Zhong Linyu and chuckled, "Dumplings and wine go so well together, want some?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Kai almost cursed.
Because the shelter's management team is usually so busy, worrying and stressed.
Sometimes I'm so restless at night that I can't sleep.
Therefore, Qin Luofei's humane management style enabled the supplies department to provide everyone with a small amount of wine on time.
Having a drink during a break from work can help you shake off fatigue and fall asleep more easily.
Although Liu Kai doesn't usually work at the shelter, he's a hands-off manager who doesn't care about anything.
But the people in the supplies department dared not withhold his share.
In other words, this bottle of wine should rightfully belong to Liu Kai.
Zhong Linyu clearly knew that the bottle of wine belonged to Liu Kai.
But the current situation doesn't allow him to utter a single word of dissent.
He immediately nodded with a beaming smile: "Go ahead and do it!"
Over the next ten minutes or so, Zhong Linyu's initial reserve gradually faded, and he began to talk more freely.
He and Feng Yuxiao chatted and laughed.
From going to school as a child, to attending military academy, and then joining the army after graduation, the more we talked, the happier we became.
However, Feng Yuxiao remained silent about her own experiences.
I just listened to Zhong Linyu's story, occasionally interjecting a few words.
When she asked Zhong Linyu if he had ever been in a relationship.
The old iron tree, however, seemed like a goose with its neck being choked, stammering for a long time, unsure how to speak.
Under the influence of alcohol, Feng Yuxiao's eyes also became somewhat hazy.
Soon, only one dumpling remained in the large bowl.
The two politely defered to each other, and as they pushed and shoved, their two flushed cheeks drew ever closer.
This gave Liu Kai, who was peeping next door, quite a fright.
If things continue like this, won't they end up kissing and eating each other's mouths?
He had originally planned to find another opportunity to remind Zhong Linyu again.
It looks like that old bastard is about to get his hands on it.
What are we waiting for? If we wait any longer, something terrible will happen.
He immediately stood up, startling Qin Luofei: "What's wrong?"
"I'll go and break up this couple!"
With a dark expression, Liu Kai left a message and strode out the door.
...
"Thud!"
Zhong Linyu was stunned when he saw Feng Yuxiao's stunningly beautiful face with its fair complexion and rosy cheeks.
He didn't even seem to notice when the chopsticks fell to the ground.
Just as the fiery red lips and the iron tree-like old mouth were about to come into contact, heavy footsteps sounded at the office door.
Immediately afterwards, the office door lock clicked open.
Hearing the commotion, the two gradually regained their senses.
They moved as quickly as startled rabbits, hurriedly moving away from each other to prove their innocence.
Zhong Linyu instinctively stood up, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared at the doorway.
He wanted to see which bastard would dare ruin his plans.
Unfortunately, it was Liu Kai who walked in, feigning innocence.
Upon seeing the two of them, Liu Kai raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Huh? Secretary Feng hasn't left work yet?"
After saying that, he looked at Zhong Linyu and asked, "Old Zhong, what are you doing in my office?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuxiao's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's bottom.
Even Zhong Linyu's anger vanished instantly, as if he had been caught red-handed as a thief.
After hesitating for a while, he finally stammered, "Um... the cafeteria made dumplings today. I heard from Director Qin that you'd be back soon, so I wanted to bring you a bowl to try."
"Oh~"
Upon hearing this frustrating excuse, Liu Kai deliberately dragged out the syllables.
He glanced at the empty bottles and bowls on the table and sniffed hard: "The smell of alcohol is so strong."
He then asked curiously, "So, where are my dumplings?"
"Um... I suddenly got a little hungry, so I ate it for you. I'll go ask the cafeteria to cook another bowl right away."
"No need, I'm from the South, I don't eat dumplings on the Little New Year."
After saying that, Liu Kai waved his hand and said, "You go ahead and do your work, Lao Zhong. Fei Fei and I will go home to eat in a bit."
At this point, Liu Kai glanced at Feng Yuxiao discreetly, his eyes full of warning.
Upon seeing Liu Kai's gaze, Feng Yuxiao seemed to recall the scene of being beaten up before.
The effects of the alcohol wore off instantly.
At the same time, she instantly remembered one of the purposes for which Kazamikawa sent her: to seduce Liu Kai.
If Liu Kai misunderstands this, it could even cause something to go wrong with Kazamikawa's plan.
Then she and her father, the Fourth Elder...
Thinking of this, she shrank her neck and slowly lowered her head.
Zhong Linyu, however, did not see Feng Yuxiao's reaction.
