Chapter 42

After a while, He Songgao replied, "Are you awake?"

"Yes." Luo Jie was enjoying the time when the nanny fed him. He thought that he was also blessed by He Songgao to live a life of having his clothes stretched out and his food opened. "Thank you, otherwise I really don't know what to do at home."

The fever was so serious that he might go directly to see King Yan.

"No need to say thank you all the time." The president said, looking a little dissatisfied.

"Then what to say?" Luo Jie began to talk a lot, "Just say I love you."

"."

"You are so nice." Luo Jie said, this time he was sincere. He decided to forgive the president for being so rude to him in the past.

"Then what?"

"What then?"

"How are you going to repay me?" "

How can you be like this?" Luo Jie said, "You should be more selfless and treat someone well without asking for anything in return."

"Am I such a person?"

"Are you being nice to me in order to get something in return?" Luo Jie snorted, "Then you're not that nice."

"I'm not."

"That's it."

"..."

Nothing to say. Haha. Luo Jie happily put away his phone, finished his last bowl of noodles, and said to the nanny, "Auntie Yang, I want to go to the bathroom."

The nanny helped him push the IV cart, and he went to the bathroom. After going to the bathroom, he wanted to take a shower, but the nanny said, "No, you can't take a shower these days, or you'll catch a cold."

"No, I feel so dirty." I sweated a lot, and it must have gone bad.

"No." The nanny said, staring at him fiercely.

Ten seconds later, Roger was defeated: "Okay, I won't take a shower."

Although he still felt uncomfortable, Roger thought he was almost well and could get out of bed and walk around. After the drip, the nanny helped him pull out the needle and said that although he couldn't take a shower, he could wipe his body with a hot towel and change into more comfortable clothes.

Roger said, "I don't have any clean clothes."

The nanny said, "Xiao Liu just went out to buy some for you." Xiao Liu was the younger nanny.

Thinking that everything was instructed by He Songgao, Roger couldn't help but feel moved again. What the hell, he was suddenly so nice, how embarrassed he was. He used to curse He Songgao for not having a close friend in his life. Alas, I don't know if it's too late to take back the curse now. Let him be He Songgao's close friend, he doesn't mind being despised by He Songgao anymore. After all, good friends are meant to be despised.

He took the new clothes to the bathroom to wash his body. After wiping off the dirt, he felt much fresher. But he couldn't wash his hair, it always felt greasy. He hoped that He Songgao wouldn't mind that his good friend was so sloppy.

When he was going out, he bumped into He Songgao. He was totally caught off guard. He stood at the bathroom door and stared at He Songgao: "Oh, you scared me to death." His throat still hurt, and his voice was indescribably hoarse, "When did you come back? You didn't even say hello." He

Songgao frowned and said in a blaming tone: "Didn't you say you can't take a shower?"

"I didn't take a shower! I just wiped it with hot water." Luo Jie said, feeling a little guilty, "The nanny also agreed." "

...Did you wipe it clean?" There was heating in the room. Luo Jie was wearing a sweater and sweatpants, like a young and beautiful college student. He Songgao pulled the collar of his sweater towards him, "Let me check it out."

"!" Roger felt uneasy and pushed He Songgao's hand away, "Are you sick? Are you trying to take advantage of me?"

He Songgao stepped back, "I'm joking."

"It's not funny at all." Roger said, seeing that He Songgao looked exhausted and didn't even have time to take off his coat, "Did you just come back from the company?"

"Yeah." He Songgao said, taking off his coat and hanging it on the coat rack at the door.

"Are you feeling better?" He turned around and asked Roger.

"Much better." Luo Jie said, walking towards the bed, "You can go back to work tomorrow."

"No need to work so hard." He Songgao said lightly, "Take care of your health."

Luo Jie lifted the quilt and lay back in the warm bed, "Just one day of rest is enough. You don't know how busy I am. One day of rest is okay, but two days, you might as well just kill me." He always felt that there was a smell in the quilt, and he didn't know if it was his illusion.

"No." He Songgao followed him to the bed and sat down on the stool, "Take another day off tomorrow."

"Then what about my work?"

"What kind of work do you have?"

"You said that." Luo Jie frowned, "Are you referring to me?"

"No, you think too much."

Luo Jie didn't want to talk anymore, and his voice was almost broken after saying these few words: "Then I'll rest for a while, you go out."

He Songgao looked at him and nodded: "I'll go back to the company and come back in the evening."

Luo Jie opened his mouth and had a bold guess in his heart: "You won't come back to see me specially, right?"

"What else."

"...You don't have to do this on purpose."

"?"

"You put a lot of pressure on me." Luo Jie crossed his hands on his chest and said seriously, "I'm worried that you will assassinate me in the next second."

"..." Some black lines appeared on He Songgao's forehead, "Boring." He pulled up the quilt on Roger's body and covered Roger's head with the thick quilt, "Sleep, remember to take medicine and eat at night."

Roger was almost suffocated, and got out of the quilt by himself: "I know, then, you ask them to change the quilt for me, it always feels smelly."

He Songgao lowered his head and sniffed, "No smell."

"Really? I didn't wash my hair, wouldn't it smell?"

He Songgao paused, leaned close to Roger's forehead and sniffed.

"No." He said at last.

"..." Isn't it a stereotype of homosexuality? Why did he always feel that He Songgao's behavior was strange, as if he did it on purpose?

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Forget it, he decided not to say anything, lest he be accused of discriminating against homosexuals.

"Then take a rest. I'm leaving." He Songgao stood up and said lightly.

"Yeah." Big brother, hurry up!

This time, he couldn't fall asleep even though he was lying in bed. Roger felt that the power of the virus in his body was gradually dissipating. Although the pain was still there, the feeling of powerlessness was almost gone. He got out of bed and wandered around He Songgao's house, sitting in the living room for a while, and then going to the study. He sighed that this guy was lucky. He enjoyed such a luxurious space alone. The study was almost as big as his living room and bedroom.

He randomly picked up a book in He Songgao's study to read. There was only one book about history that he thought he could understand. As he was reading, his mother called him. Luo Jie cleared his throat and picked up the phone: "Hello, Mom."

His mother knew something was wrong and asked him: "Do you have a cold?"

Seeing that he could no longer pretend, Luo Jie said: "Yes, it's a minor cold. I'm almost well."

His voice was hoarse and unpleasant. Although his mother felt distressed, she still wanted to talk to him about business: "Will you come back next week?"

"No. Why?"

"Your aunt introduced you to a girl. I saw the photo of the girl. She's really beautiful. She works at the county Water Conservancy Bureau and is a civil servant. The girl is very quiet. Can you spare some time to meet her?"

"Huh?" This was too sudden. He hasn't gotten over his heartbreak yet, so isn't it too fast to jump into another relationship? He told his mother honestly, "I don't want to go on a blind date for the time being."

"You don't want to. You're already an adult. If you don't get married, are you going to be a bachelor?"

"Thirty is the golden age for men. It's the time to work hard. How can you always think about love affairs and extramarital affairs?"

"Bah." His mother scolded him, "I don't think you will have the freedom to love in this life. What good girl would fall for someone as stupid as you. Do you want to reply or not? If not, your aunt will introduce this girl to your cousin. You can wait to regret it."

"Oh." Roger said calmly, "I wish my cousin and future cousin-in-law a harmonious and happy marriage, and a baby soon..."

"Beep, beep, beep..." His mother actually hung up the phone.

"…" Mom, you are too heartless.

He called back, but his mother hung up again. He could only send a message to his mother: "I am going to Europe on a business trip next week, and I want to buy you luxury goods. What do you want? A bag? Skin care products? Or jewelry." When his mother

saw the message, she was no longer angry and replied immediately: "Bag." Then the next message came, "And a scarf from Ai Mou Si."

"Where's Dad?"

"He doesn't want anything."

Poor dad, Roger mourned for his dad for a minute. Since mom said you don't need anything, then I won't care about you. If you need anything, please ask your wife yourself.

In the evening, when it was almost time for dinner, He Songgao hadn't come back yet. He sat alone at the dining table, feeling like a young wife waiting for her husband to come home safely (?). Although he didn't really want to wait, he felt that it was not good for him to enjoy the luxurious five dishes and one soup by himself when the host was not there. He sent a WeChat message to He Songgao in confusion: "Why haven't you come back yet?"

He Songgao: "Why?"

"It's time to eat."

"You eat by yourself, I'm working overtime."

It seems that he really works overtime every day. Roger said: "Then couldn't you tell me in advance if you were not coming back? I can't finish so many dishes by myself, it's such a waste."

"Only the husband has the obligation to report to his wife waiting at home."

Damn! Luo Jie stared at the terrifying words as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets, "Are you sick? Can you please stop saying such disgusting things?"

"Leave me alone and eat your meal." He Songgao said at last.

This seems quite normal.

Could it be that he didn't come back at night because he went on a date? What's the matter? He is so impatient after being single for such a short time. Luo Jie felt a little uncomfortable. His good friend was still sick, but he was thinking about going out to have fun. Men, as expected, are the kind of people who forget their friends for the sake of beauty and their principles for the sake of profit! Luo Jie snorted coldly and poked the screen of his mobile phone angrily: "Auntie made a lot of delicious food tonight, it seems that you are not lucky enough to enjoy it."

"Oh." He Songgao said, "Enjoy it."

What do you mean, is he really going on a date?

After dinner, Roger was very curious and asked Lulu: "What is the president's schedule tonight?"

Lulu said: "A meeting tonight, a meeting with a German client. There is a time difference, so it can only be arranged in the evening."

Just say it's a meeting, why be so ambiguous, really.

Lulu said again: "Secretary Luo, will you come to work tomorrow?"

Roger said: "It depends."

He suddenly didn't want to go to work anymore. It was quite comfortable to stay in He Songgao's big house. He didn't have to do anything. He could be a hands-off manager... Oh no, a hands-off customer. It was so happy, haha.

Let him be happy for two more days! Amen.
