One sentence turned Lu Mingxu's face, which was originally flushed, completely black.
Chi Xiuwen, who was in the kitchen, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lu Mingxu got up from the ground dejectedly. He pinched his arm with a lack of confidence. Was his muscle really okay?
Lu Mingxu has been exercising every day for the past few years.
He felt that nothing seemed to have changed from before.
But since Pei Zhi said that, Lu Mingxu felt that her muscles weren't as good as before.
Pei Zhi couldn't help but chuckle and went to the shelf next to her to get a water glass.
Lu Mingxu quickly and attentively served Pei Zhi, "You want some water, right? I'll pour you some."
Pei Zhi handed the cup to Lu Mingxu, who then went to the water dispenser. "How about 45-degree water?"
"Can."
Lu Mingxu filled the water container, took a small sip himself to make sure the temperature was right, and then handed it to Pei Zhi.
Seeing Pei Zhi staring at the rim of the glass, Lu Mingxu said, "You can drink from this side."
Lu Mingxu was afraid that Pei Zhi would dislike him, so he said, "How about I get you another cup?"
Pei Zhi took the water glass. "No need."
When Lu Mingxu saw Pei Zhi finish a glass of water, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Pei Zhi drank water from the cup he had used, which means that Pei Zhi doesn't mind him, right?
Pei Zhi asked curiously, "Lu Mingxu, why are you still the same as before?"
What was I like before?
Pei Zhi put down her water glass. "Like a little puppy, it's easy to feel secretly pleased with yourself."
When Pei Zhi saw that she had only used the water cup that Lu Mingxu had drunk from and drunk water, Lu Mingxu couldn't help but smile.
Ten years have passed, and it seems that these people are still the same as before, unchanged.
What Pei Zhi didn't know was that changes were still happening, but only to outsiders.
Lu Mingxu stubbornly retorted, "Nonsense, there's no secret pleasure involved."
Pei Zhi nodded, "Okay, then your mouth is twitching, you've been smiling the whole time."
"Is it because you're getting old? Should you go to the hospital to get checked out?"
Lu Mingxu angrily brandished his fist at Pei Zhi, but in the end he simply opened the cabinet, took out coffee beans, and planned to make Pei Zhi a cup of coffee.
Pei Zhi was just thinking about opening a coffee shop when she saw Lu Mingxu skillfully grinding beans and brewing coffee.
"I'm thinking of opening a coffee shop. Do you think it's a viable business opportunity?"
Lu Mingxu paused in his grip on the cup, then nodded repeatedly, "Of course."
"Young people these days can't live without coffee. If you open a coffee shop, your business will definitely be booming."
Lu Mingxu continued, "I can give you an address so you can go and see if there are any shops available for sublet."
Chi Xiuwen interrupted, "Lu Mingxu, didn't you say the company was having a meeting today?"
Lu Mingxu looked at Chi Xiuwen blankly. He had turned down all his company business early in the morning.
Chi Xiuwen secretly winked at Lu Mingxu, signaling him to stop talking.
Lu Mingxu quickly brewed Pei Zhi a cup of coffee, while Chi Xiuwen took the opportunity to take the kitchen waste out to throw it away.
"What, are you afraid that Pei Zhi doesn't know that we all want her to open a coffee shop downstairs from our company?"
Lu Mingxu then realized, "You too..."
"No wonder the coffee shop owner called me and said that he's been lowering prices, but Pei Zhi still hasn't made up her mind."
Lu Mingxu couldn't very well offer Pei Zhi a rock-bottom price right away.
If he could, Lu Mingxu would even give Pei Zhi a coffee shop for free.
Lu Mingxu was also afraid that Pei Zhi would be unhappy if she found out.
The only solution is for the coffee shop owner to lower the prices little by little.
Once Pei Zhi has taken over the coffee shop, if he reappears, just say it's a coincidence, and Pei Zhi won't blame him.
Lu Mingxu realized what was happening and said, "Didn't you agree to help each other? But you secretly did your own thing."
Chi Xiuwen didn't tolerate Lu Mingxu's behavior either, "It's like you didn't do anything underhanded."
Lu Mingxu ignored this matter; they all had their own selfish motives when facing Pei Zhi.
"As for the coffee shop, let's each rely on our own abilities. Pei Zhi can choose where to open it."
Lu Mingxu nodded and replied, "Okay."
“Pei Zhi will probably go back after finishing her meal. Go find Hu Shi and do whatever it takes to prevent Pei Zhi from moving back.”
"I'll do my best."
Chi Xiuwen patted Lu Mingxu on the shoulder, "The task is entrusted to you, good luck."
Chi Xiuwen threw away the trash and went upstairs.
Lu Mingxu took the car keys and drove directly to Hu Shi's house.
No one was home at Hu Shi's house, but Lu Mingxu knew the password to Hu Shi's front door.
Lu Mingxu wandered around Hu Shi’s house, pondering how to prevent Pei Zhi from coming back to stay.
Did they want Hu Shih's house to be flooded?
I don't know when this water will be stored, but it will be habitable after a little cleaning.
Lu Mingxu looked around Hu Shi's house and silently apologized to Hu Shi.
For the sake of my brothers' happiness, I have no choice but to apologize to Hu Shi.
Hu Shi got up very early in the morning and went to work like a beast of burden.
After lunch, he had only rested for a short while when he received a call from the property management company saying that his house had been burned down.
Hu Shih thought he was hallucinating because he hadn't rested well after working for several days in a row.
"Don't joke around, no one's home, how could it have burned down?"
When Hu Shih's house was renovated, fire prevention measures were taken.
Moreover, no one was home, and he rarely cooked at home. How could it have burned down when everything was fine?
Lu Mingxu took the phone from the property management staff. "I'm sorry, I was smoking at your place and set it on fire."
"ah?"
Hu Shih opened his mouth, "No, no one's home. Why did you come to my house alone to smoke?"
What, does Lu Mingxu have to be picky about where he smokes?
Why do you insist on smoking at his house? Is it more comfortable to smoke at his house?
"I came looking for you, but you're not here."
"Then, while I was waiting for you to come back, I smoked a cigarette, and while I was waiting, I fell asleep."
Hu Shi was unwilling to listen to Lu Mingxu's perfunctory words. "Lu Mingxu, before Pei Zhi came back, when was the last time you took the initiative to come to see me?"
Lu Mingxu tried to recall it carefully... but couldn't remember.
Eight years ago!
"I was filming on set when an explosion occurred, and I was injured. The news reported that I was killed in the explosion."
"Then, you came to find me on your own initiative."
Hu Shi saw through Lu Mingxu's true nature, "So, why did you burn my house down?"
"Stop talking nonsense. You've already made the selection. Name your price, and I'll have the bank transfer it to you."
Hu Shi was so angry he laughed. "Fine, you just wait, I'll call Pei Zhi right now."
Hu Shih refused to believe that Lu Mingxu had burned down his house and he still wouldn't receive an apology from Lu Mingxu.
Isn't that being tough?
Lu Mingxu quickly stopped Hu Shi: "Hey, hey, hey."
"Why did you call her? Let's talk this out."
Hu Shi scoffed, "What do you want with her?"
"I asked her, what was wrong with me taking her in?"
"Just because I took her in, my house, which still has half of its mortgage payable, was burned down. I have to get an explanation from her!"
