Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Lu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Secret love. ...
27.
Lu Zhao is indeed a good teacher with good skills and thorough explanations.
At first, Jiang Nian thought God was deliberately targeting him, and he was once again the third wheel. But later, he became addicted to the game and put all these worries behind him.
During the break, Lu Zhao handed Jiang Nian a hot towel and warm water. He took good care of her. Jiang Nian was already used to Lu Zhao's thoughtfulness and was completely unaware of it.
The old classmates had never seen Lu Zhao take care of someone like this before. Thinking about the fact that the young master had just chosen Wang Min, Lu Zhao was filled with jealousy and made faces at them. Lu Zhao gave them a warning look and asked them to restrain themselves.
These people were laughing and joking, and were even happier.
Jiang Nian didn't notice the movement behind him. He was being fed by Lu Zhao.
After coming down from the fairway, Lu Zhao asked the waiter to bring up some snacks. A three-tiered, cream-colored dessert stand was filled with a variety of snacks: macarons, fruit tarts, puffs, and scones. Each one was exquisitely shaped, beautifully presented, and served in flavors that Jiang Nian liked.
Jiang Nian had just finished an activity and really needed to replenish his energy, so he picked out a small piece of cake and ate it. It had been a long time since they last met, and Lu Zhao found that just looking at Jiang Nian was very satisfying.
Shen Rong and the others started playing a match, and it soon reached an intense stage. Jiang Nian was attracted by the sound and watched with great interest.
This is a world he has never been exposed to, and it is very interesting.
Suddenly hearing Lu Zhao calling him, Jiang Nian nodded and looked over with bright eyes, looking very happy.
Lu Zhao's voice couldn't help but become softer: "Next time you want to go out and play, you can call me. Chen Rong is quite busy, so I'm relatively free recently."
Jiang Nian was deeply touched. What more could he ask for? Although he had already made up his mind not to take up Lu Zhao and Shen Rong's personal time, and to let them spend more time together during their off-work hours, facing Lu Zhao's dark and gentle eyes, he nodded and agreed.
Jiang Nian ate another cream puff and stopped eating. He said to Lu Zhao, "You go play too. I'll wait here for you."
Lu Zhao refused.
Jiang Nian was puzzled, and Lu Zhao said, "Didn't you say being alone is boring?"
"You're all here, it's not boring." Jiang Nian said, "It's quite interesting to watch you play."
He was desperate to get Lu Zhao to join the game and was about to persuade him again when he saw Lu Zhao reaching out his hand. Jiang Nian's eyes were filled with confusion and his gaze subconsciously followed Lu Zhao's hand.
Jiang Nian had long discovered that Lu Zhao's hands were very beautiful, the kind of beauty that matched his appearance.
The finger bones are slender but not thin. At first glance, it is obviously a man's hand. It is thin and powerful. The light blue blood vessels are faintly visible under the skin, and it looks full of tension.
Jiang Nian watched Lu Zhao's hand getting closer and closer to him, and then he felt a warmth on his lips as Lu Zhao's hand brushed past.
Jiang Nian felt a current running down his spine, and a tingling sensation spread across the area where Lu Zhao had touched him. He froze in shock, staring at Lu Zhao with wide eyes.
Lu Zhao showed him his hand, with a white spot on his thumb, and said, "Cream"
It turned out that I was just wiping his mouth.
Jiang Nian's cheeks flushed red, and he lowered his head and said, "I can do it myself."
He wiped his lips quickly and vigorously with the back of his hand, then pulled out a tissue and wiped it again. Then he looked up at Lu Zhao: "Is it clean?"
Because of the vigorous rubbing, Jiang Nian's lips, which were usually light in color, turned red, looking like delicate rose petals, soft and bright red.
Lu Zhao's eyes darkened, and he suddenly regretted his actions. Facing Jiang Nian like this, he almost lost control of himself and wanted to do something extreme. Fortunately, he managed to hold back, looking away, nodding, and then drinking the cold tea in the cup beside him.
Because of helping to apply the cream, Jiang Nian's cheeks were burning and he didn't dare to look at Lu Zhao, let alone talk to him.
Jiang Nian could only turn his head and pretend to watch the game, but the touch on his lips was lingering, making him feel confused.
Before they knew it, Shen Rong and the others had finished the game and were preparing to go eat.
Jiang Nian was shocked to realize that it was already dark. Lu Zhao had actually been sitting with him all afternoon. He once again became the light bulb standing between Shen Rong and Lu Zhao.
Another day wasted!
Jiang Nian was feeling very upset. Chen Rong came over and said to him, "It's time for dinner. Tell Auntie to eat with us. I'll take you home after we're done."
Jiang Nian didn't dare to stay. He said, "I have an appointment with my aunt to have dinner together tonight."
Chen Rong didn't force it when he heard it: "Okay, next time."
Jiang Nian nodded, waved goodbye to everyone, and went back to find Lan Xin.
As soon as Jiang Nian left, those who had been holding back all afternoon suddenly became excited and surrounded Lu Zhao, saying, "Hurry up, tell the truth, what's going on!"
Lu Zhao said: "It's just as you see."
Unexpectedly, he was so frank, and everyone asked again: "How far has it progressed?"
Lu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Secret love."
friend:"……"
The friends didn't believe it at all. They thought Lu Zhao still needed a secret crush. It was just a joke. They looked at Shen Rong, wanting an answer, and saw Shen Rong smiling. It was obvious that what Lu Zhao said was true.
Everyone fell silent and thought about how Jiang Nian and Lu Zhao interacted. It seemed that the young master of the Jiang family was indeed a little slow in emotions.
One person said: "If you like her, just say it and pursue her directly."
This person is impatient and likes to get results as quickly as possible in everything he does.
Lu Zhao said, "I'm afraid of scaring him."
The man didn't quite understand, but soon remembered that Jiang Nian was not in good health, and couldn't help but show a look of sympathy to Lu Zhao.
It's not easy to have a secret crush on someone. Lu Zhaotian is a proud son of heaven. He has had a smooth life and has never suffered any hardship. Does he have to suffer the pain of love?
That was really funny. The man quickly started laughing, and it gave him something to talk about during future gatherings.
After hearing this man's words, the others also laughed. Their laughter was hearty and without any malice, just a good-natured joke among friends.
Lu Zhao also curled his lips, then quickly lowered them. He ignored his friends' teasing and turned his attention back to Jiang Nian. He felt that Jiang Nian had become a little strange since returning from the island.
He was abnormal and didn't go out, didn't contact Chen Rong or him, and even rejected his invitation to go out and play.
When they met today and Chen Rong asked Jiang Nian to come play with him, although Jiang Nian concealed it very well, Lu Zhao still caught a hint of embarrassment from Jiang Nian's subtle expression.
He didn't want to come.
Even though he came, Jiang Nian was a little absent-minded, and it was really unusual that he chose someone he had just met to teach him how to bowl.
Is Jiang Nian distancing himself from Chen Rong?
Why?
What happened?
Before Lu Zhao could figure it out, his old classmate pulled him aside and said, "Let's go to the hotel and talk it over. We want to know everything, no matter how big or small."
"Yes, tell us and we will give you some advice."
Lu Zhao's thoughts were interrupted, he smiled and said okay, he looked back at the place where Jiang Nian and the others had just been, it had been occupied by new guests, Jiang Nian and the others had left.
**
Jiang Nian regretted this trip very much after returning.
He was filled with remorse, thinking that even in his dreams he would blame himself for affecting the protagonist's love life, but no. All he dreamed about all night was Lu Zhao, Lu Zhao's hand, and the touch of his lips.
Jiang Nian opened his eyes, feeling exhausted. He stared at the ceiling, thinking he was insane. Why would he dream about his best friend? It was just him wiping his mouth, so normal.
But, will good friends wipe each other’s mouths?
He's not sure.
He didn't have any particularly good friends in his previous life, and in this life he only had Shen Rong and Lu Zhao. He imagined Shen Rong wiping his mouth, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
Before he could continue to think about the answer to this question, there was a knock on the door. Lan Xin came in and asked him if he wanted to go out and play today. She had made an appointment with her sisters to play cards together.
Jiang Nian felt like he was being targeted by God. He would run into Lu Zhao and Shen Rong wherever he went. How could he dare to go out? He said, "I'm a little tired. I want to rest."
I was out all afternoon and half the night yesterday, which was indeed a long time for Jiang Nian. Lan Xin said, "Okay, tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not feeling unwell. I'm as strong as a bull now."
Lan Xin was amused and said, "I know. Okay, get up and eat."
"Okay." Jiang Nian responded. After his mother closed the door, he got up and washed up.
While brushing his teeth, he looked at his messy hair in the mirror with a confused look in his eyes. What was he thinking before his mother came in?
I can’t remember. Never mind. I’m hungry, I’ll go eat something first.
After breakfast, my parents went to work, leaving Jiang Nian, the housekeeper, and the aunt at home.
These people would not disturb Jiang Nian on their own initiative, so Jiang Nian stayed in the room alone. He was bored and watching videos on his phone when he suddenly received a message from Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao explained to him the rules and techniques of bowling.
Jiang Nian glanced at the time. It was nine o'clock in the morning. Humph, he caught him. The CEO was slacking off at work.
Jiang Nian curled up the corners of his mouth, clicked on the link and glanced at it briefly, then clicked on the favorite, exited and replied to Lu Zhao: "I will read it carefully."
Lu Zhao replied quickly: "When will it be put into practice?"
Thinking about yesterday, Jiang Nian wanted to rush to the bowling alley right now, but he didn't want to take up Lu Zhao's private time.
Lu Zhao is busy with work on weekdays, and his rest time is so precious that he should use it to date instead of spending time with friends.
Jiang Nian said, "I was a little tired from playing yesterday, so it might take a while."
Lu Zhao could tell at a glance that this was a euphemism for refusal, but he still said, "Call me when the time comes."
There was no immediate response to the message. Lu Zhao leaned back in his chair, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table as he looked at the message "The other party is typing..." on his phone. A full three minutes passed before Jiang Nian finally replied with a "OK."
Lu Zhao frowned slightly. Is it really that difficult?
Lu Zhao contacted Shen Rong.
Jiang Nian had just put down his phone when he received an invitation from Shen Rong, asking him to go out and play.
These two people have such a good time not to fall in love, but to take him out to play, he is not a child. Jiang Nian sighed and turned the perfunctory words to Lu Zhao back to Chen Rong.
Thinking of how caring Lu Zhao and Shen Rong were, Jiang Nian suddenly felt uneasy. How did he find himself in a romance novel? Both protagonists were his friends. When his friends fell in love, there was no one to accompany him.
He understood what netizens said, why they would feel lost when their good friends fell in love, as if they had also been heartbroken.
That's true.
Jiang Nian was so focused on his gratitude that he had no idea that on the other side, Lu Zhao was trying to figure out why he was acting so strangely.
After receiving the news that Shen Rong was rejected, Lu Zhao felt that his guess was correct and Jiang Nian was avoiding them.
**
Jiang Nian put down his phone and sighed. Seeing the housekeeper trimming the branches at the door, he went to help.
Pruning flowers and plants was quite calming. Jiang Nian regained consciousness and the entire morning had already passed. He felt like he had found a new way to pass the time, so he started pruning the flowers and plants in the yard with the housekeeper.
In just one day, two translucent blisters appeared on his hands.
Lan Xin was extremely distressed. She called a doctor to come and take a look, and told Jiang Nian not to do this.
Jiang Nian's new hobby was nipped in the bud before it could even develop. He started to stay at home and watch TV series again, and he wouldn't go out even when Lan Xin took him.
Another half month passed like this, and Lan Xin couldn't stand it any longer. There happened to be a charity dinner, and Jiang Nian had never attended such an event before. Now that her health allowed, Lan Xin decided to take him to see it.
This charity dinner was hosted by a well-known tycoon in the business circle. Celebrities and wealthy people in Jinhai City would attend events of this scale, and Chen Rong and Lu Zhao would definitely go as well.
Jiang Nian has been hiding for so long, so naturally he won’t go.
But Lan Xin was determined to take him out for some fresh air, and the couple worked together to escort him to the car. Jiang Nian clung to the car door: "I really don't want to go. I'm so sleepy and tired."
Lan Xin exposed him: "You slept all day today."
During the standoff between the three of them, Jiang Hao, dressed neatly, came out and stood on the steps. A glance from him made Jiang Nian immediately behave himself. As soon as he let go of his hand, his father grabbed him by the waist and stuffed him into the car.
Since he couldn't hide anymore, Jiang Nian decided to wait and see when he got there, taking things one step at a time.
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Pre-collect "When Salted Fish Enters the Domineering President's Literature"
Copywriting: Lin Rong accidentally bound the system and turned into the overbearing CEO in the story. He robbed the poor little girl and finally died at her hands.
He had to complete the mission and save his life. He exploited the system's loopholes in issuing missions, battling wits and courage with the system every day, without completely offending the poor little thing.
He was doing his task diligently, but he didn't know that everything he was thinking was exposed in front of the poor little thing.
**
Lu Yuqi fell seriously ill and after waking up, he found out that he was a character in a book, probably created for some people's XP. A disgusting man in the book abused him physically and mentally, and he hated him in his heart. When he got rid of this guy one day, he would definitely make him pay.
However, he discovered that he could actually hear the boss's inner voice.
This boss seems to be very lazy, intermittently playing badly and then suddenly making a comeback, it's very strange.
“I really want to retire.”
"Forget it, whatever happens. I'd be dead a long time ago anyway, so I won't do any missions."
"Woo, woo, woo, how wonderful it is to be alive."
"Workers have a working spirit, and working is the best! I can do it!"
**
Later, late one night, Lin Rong was taken under Lu Yuqi.
Lin Rong leaned against the man's shoulders: "What?"
"..." Two words came out from the beautiful thin lips that were so close to her, which were both sexy and erotic.
Lin Rong's cheeks flushed: "Vulgar."
But in my heart I thought: "Lu Yuqi has my aesthetic taste in every aspect, I am not at a disadvantage at all."
The corner of Lu Yuqi's mouth twitched, but he couldn't help but kiss him with a smile: "Focus."
