Chapter 48
Lu Qin whistled as he returned with two full pots of hot water. Someone at the gate was already complaining about where the pots were.
"Here!" He walked forward, "Sorry, there's no water in the kettle. You must have been waiting for a long time."
Regardless of whether they were gay or lesbian, they all put away their complaining expressions when they first saw the handsome Comrade Lu enthusiastically carrying two pots of water, and then heard his apology.
Most of the people standing there knew him because of his good looks.
Her attitude changed immediately, and she reached out to take the water from his pot. "Comrade Lu, you've worked hard."
Lu Qin, who had just returned from a short stroll, had his kettle snatched from him. He smiled, "The water's a little hot. Let it sit for a while before drinking. If you run out of water, I'll get more."
Someone who was shouting in front of the old man that he had eaten too much salt in the morning went back into the factory without drinking a sip of water.
After a walk around, he was in a very good mood.
Aunt Niu noticed him from the corner of her eye and said, "You're back after drinking water."
Lu Qin returned to his seat and brought back a new tray of biscuits. "I just brought back two pots of water. Auntie, go have a drink and take a rest."
"Okay, I'll go after I finish this half box. Comrade Xiao Lu, you should take a break too. Two jugs of water are quite heavy."
Lu Qin thought that he only felt tired when facing this pile of work, and he sighed.
While having lunch, Xu Youzhi looked at the combination of the enamel cup in his left hand and the lunch box in his right hand, and the dishes on the left and the rice on the right. Although he was surprised by it yesterday, he still felt shocked today.
Lu Qin generously placed a few pieces of food into his bowl before moving the lunch box towards him. "Comrade Xu, let me tell you something. This morning, when I was getting water, I saw your Propaganda Department's kettle in the hot water room, so I brought it back for you. Who of you is so careless?"
Xu Youzhi looked at the extra meat in the bowl and wanted to take it back, but his lunch box had already been taken away.
Hearing the latter part, he was a little surprised and stopped immediately, "You brought that pot back with you?"
"yes."
"Thank you, Comrade Lu. I forgot it in the hot water room."
Lu Qin paused, he really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and he sighed, "That's quite a coincidence."
He happened to drop the pot, and he happened to pick it up.
Xu Youzhi lowered his head and took a bite of his rice. He obviously felt the same way. He hesitated and said, looking at the extra meat in the lunch box, "Comrade Lu, you can eat more meat yourself. You don't have to share it with me."
"Ah, it's okay, then aren't we friends?"
"Yes, of course."
Lu Qin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Eat more. We can both grow taller. I can't abandon you, right?"
And he still needs his help.
Xu Youzhi, who was 20 years old but not as tall as a 17-year-old gay man, remained silent and swallowed the last half of the meat silently.
Qian Ming and Zhang Gang had been waiting in the distance, but the people next to them never made room.
When the time came, Lu Qin packed up his lunch box and followed Xu Youzhi to the office to rest.
There was still no one in the office, and the windows were wide open, framing the warm green that was unique to spring.
"Comrade Lu, you can look at the things on my desk as much as you want, but just don't take them out."
Lu Qin leisurely got a cup of hot water and came back without being polite to him. He sat down and looked at the table with the enamel cup in his hand. There was a stack of paper materials scattered around.
I didn’t expect that such a neat and tidy gay man would have bad habits.
But before sitting down, he asked, "Comrade Xu, do the other people in your office mind me taking a break here?"
Xu Youzhi sat down and took out the pen cap. "It's okay. Just sit down. They won't be back at noon."
And other people usually bring a few friends over.
Lu Qin had already sat down, then stood up again and rolled up his sleeves. "Is that so? Then I'll help you clean up."
Xu Youzhi had been busy with publicity recently. He was so busy that he didn't notice what Lu Qin was doing.
When he looked up, he was stunned by the tidy office. He turned around to ask Comrade Lu how he had managed it in such a short time, but all he saw was a dark head lying on the table, a few strands of black hair blown by the wind from the window. It looked like a peaceful and tranquil place, probably asleep.
It was not good to wake him up, so he hesitated for a moment and had to go out with his colleague's promotional newspaper and half a box of chalk.
The weather today is warmer than yesterday. Someone lying on the table moved his fingers slightly.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, people began to return to the office.
Lu Qin heard the noise and sat up, only to see a man and two women walking into the room, but Xu Youzhi was nowhere to be seen.
As the three of them entered the room, they saw a handsome young man sitting in Comrade Xu's seat.
Lu Qin waved and smiled at them, said good afternoon, and then waved his hand and turned away without any burden.
"Who is this and why is he sitting in Comrade Xiao Xu's seat?" The speaker was Secretary Niu.
"Hey, who cleaned this office at noon? It's quite clean."
Female comrades have always been meticulous, especially in details. As soon as Secretary Liu spoke, everyone looked over immediately. It was not clean at all. If they were asked to clean, they would not be able to get it that clean.
"Comrade Xu cleaned it."
Xu Youzhi just came in with something. He looked around but didn't see anyone. He didn't know if he had rested well. "Hello, Sister Niu and Sister Liu. I'm not the one who cleans the house."
When they learned that it was the man who cleaned the place, everyone, especially the women, were surprised. When did such a kind-hearted person come to the factory?
The author has something to say:
Well, I was very busy as usual on Wednesday and wanted to take a day off, but since there are not many words, I put it up anyway, and then I will make up for it on Thursday night.
