Chapter 65 Who did you meet at noon?
Zhou Yan felt something was wrong when he received Lin Xu's message at noon.
Lin Xu was a person who seldom missed appointments, and the message he sent to himself was only a few words long and had typos, which seemed to have been sent in a hurry.
But since Lin Xu said so, Zhou Yan had no choice but to believe it.
He had no appetite anyway, so he didn't go out to eat and rested in the office.
After sleeping for a while, Zhou Yan felt a little cold and suspected that he had a fever, so he got up and went outside the office to ask his colleagues if anyone had any antipyretics.
There were a few girls taking a break and chatting in the tea room. No one noticed that Zhou Yan was still in the company, let alone noticed him coming in.
Because a few people were gossiping.
Someone saw Lin Xu having dinner outside with a handsome young man she had never seen before, and they seemed to be arguing.
Zhou Yan stood behind them and saw the photos posted in the group.
There was indeed something wrong with Lin Xu.
But if he wants to meet his friends, he can just meet them. Why would he lie to me and say that he was delayed because of work?
Zhou Yan didn't say anything, left the tea room, and went upstairs to wait for Lin Xu.
He arrived at Qingying Realm and calmly asked where Teng Qiu Linxu, who was in the company, had gone.
Teng Qiu saw Shen Xinji coming to see Lin Xu, but considering the relationship between Shen Xinji and Lin Xu, Teng Qiu did not tell Zhou Yan the truth.
"He went to eat." Teng Qiu said lightly.
Zhou Yan nodded and went to the corridor to wait for Lin Xu to come back.
He was very concerned about the fact that Lin Xu lied to him.
That man made him care more.
If it was just an ordinary friend who came to see him, there would be no need for him to lie to himself.
He waited for a while and Lin Xu came back.
Zhou Yan endured his physical discomfort and pretended to be calm and asked where Lin Xu had gone.
The answer is still deception.
My body, which was already feeling uncomfortable due to illness, is now even more irritable and restless.
Faced with Lin Xu's concealment and deception, Zhou Yan felt upset and had an uncomfortable feeling that Lin Xu treated him as an outsider.
To avoid losing his composure, Zhou Yan nodded and walked towards the elevator.
Only then did Lin Xu realize that Zhou Yan seemed angry.
Because I broke my promise and didn’t bring him lunch?
Lin Xu subconsciously grabbed Zhou Yan's arm: "Brother."
Zhou Yan looked back at him and slowly pulled his arm out: "Go back to work."
Seeing Zhou Yan getting on the elevator, Lin Xu finally realized that Zhou Yan's arm was very hot. Did he have a fever?
Lin Xu didn't have time to wait for the elevator, so he ran down the stairs, bought a bowl of noodles and a box of antipyretic medicine as quickly as possible, and went to find Zhou Yan.
The company's front desk staff didn't find it strange to see Lin Xu, and didn't stop him when he ran in.
Zhou Yan returned to the office and lay down on the sofa.
I felt very dizzy and even worse.
Ever since Lin Xu moved into his house, the two of them had almost no boundaries in their lives.
They were together day and night, and spent most of their time together during get off work and commuting. He thought they were very close, but when he thought about it carefully, there were many things about Lin Xu that he didn't know.
Zhou Yan never thought of himself as a controlling person before, but when it came to Lin Xu's matter, he found that he could not tolerate this feeling of alienation.
He was feeling drowsy and struggling with his thoughts when someone knocked on the office door.
"Enter."
Zhou Yan propped himself up on the sofa and sat up, rubbing his temples.
The door opened and Lin Xu came in.
Zhou Yan was stunned.
Lin Xu walked over and sat down beside him. He raised his hand and touched his forehead, his face full of anxiety.
"You have a fever! Why didn't you tell me just now? Did you miss lunch?"
Lin Xu's little face was almost wrinkled with anxiety, and his big eyes were full of worry.
His obvious concern made Zhou Yan feel better.
"Why are you here again?" Zhou Yan's voice was hoarse when he spoke.
"When I pulled your arm just now, I felt that you were a little hot. Do you have a thermometer? Your temperature is probably over 38 degrees now. Are you busy this afternoon? Why don't you take some time off to go to the hospital?"
Lin Xu was really anxious. If he had known earlier, he would not have wasted time with Shen Xinji. If he had come to find Zhou Yan earlier, he would have discovered that something was wrong with him earlier.
Zhou Yan stared at Lin Xu's chattering mouth and licked his lips.
Suddenly he leaned over, rested his forehead on Lin Xu's shoulder, and said weakly, "No, I have a meeting this afternoon. I'll just take some medicine."
Zhou Yan was burning like a furnace, and Lin Xu's cheeks were also hot.
"Brother..." Lin Xu was a little at a loss, "Let's eat first."
Zhou Yan simply put his arms around Lin Xu's waist, hugged him tightly, and murmured, "I feel a little uncomfortable, let me hold you for a while."
"oh……"
Lin Xu didn't dare to move and let Zhou Yan hold him.
Zhou Yan leaned on Lin Xu, and his annoyance increased instead of decreasing.
He couldn't help but think that every time he made a move on Lin Xu, Lin Xu would hug him or cuddle him whenever he asked.
Is he like this to others too?
Thinking of this, her heart felt sour and bitter, and the arms around Lin Xu's waist tightened involuntarily. She wished she could stuff him into her body and carry him with her at all times.
"Brother... Brother... be gentler." Lin Xu was almost breathless due to being strangled, and patted Zhou Yan's arm to remind him.
Zhou Yan finally came to his senses, loosened his arms, opened the takeaway box on the table and ate his noodles.
Lin Xu was still in shock and stared at Zhou Yan blankly.
His entire body was filled with Zhou Yan's abnormal heat, which surrounded him more tangibly than his breath. The feeling made his hair stand on end.
Zhou Yan ate the noodles and took the medicine, then leaned back on Lin Xu quite naturally.
Lin Xu: ...
This is so natural.
It turns out that a man like Zhou Yan can be so fragile when he is sick, and will rely on the people around him like a child.
Lin Xu raised his hand and touched Zhou Yan's hair: "I have to go back to work soon. If you feel unwell, you can go back early."
"Yeah." Zhou Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Who did you meet at noon?"
Lin Xu's hand paused. How did Zhou Yan know this?!
"you--"
"A colleague saw you outside." Zhou Yan explained.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Lin Xu had to evade the main point and said, "A friend from the past."
"What friend? Why don't you tell me the truth?"
"I..." Lin Xu was a little panicked. He just couldn't tell the truth.
Tell Zhou Yan that he is his ex-boyfriend, wouldn’t that cause an uproar?
"We don't have a very good relationship, and we have some past issues. We probably won't have any intersection in the future, so I didn't tell you. I'm sorry, brother."
Lin Xu's explanation basically matched what he knew, and Lin Xu did seem to be arguing with that person, so Zhou Yan temporarily believed him.
I felt a little better too.
"Just tell the truth. I don't really need you to bring me food. Don't lie to me about such trivial matters in the future, okay?"
Could this be considered a small matter? This was a huge matter for the relationship between the two of them. Lin Xu had a hard time expressing his suffering.
But Zhou Yan's tone was almost pleading, which made Lin Xu's heart ache. He promised, "Okay, it's my fault this time. I won't do it again."
