It was a little past 11 o'clock in the evening at Lu's residence, and it was deserted. Lu Yuanzhou was standing in the restaurant in a wet robe, talking on the phone. His back looked somewhat lonely, like a lone warrior asking for support from his superiors.
However, his superiors seemed not to sense his desire to survive.
"Hey, Mom, when will you come back?" Lu Yuanzhou picked up the phone and talked to his mother Lu in Europe.
It was around six in the morning in Europe at that time. Mother and father Lu were still asleep. They were awakened by a call from their son and thought something had happened.
Mother Lu has a gentle personality and speaks softly. Even when her son wakes her up, she doesn't get angry at all. "You're not planning to go back this month. Do you miss your parents?"
The superiors seemed reluctant to come back.
Lu Yuanzhou thought that there was still a chance to save the situation, so he asked, "Aren't you going to come back to see your daughter-in-law?"
Mother Lu smiled and said, "You kid, you were making excuses before, saying there was no need to go back to see the doctor, but now you want us to go back to see the doctor?"
Lu Yuanzhou thought that because he hadn't discovered before, Chu Xiu was his panacea! If time could go back, he would strangle himself to death for preventing his parents from coming back!
"So when are you planning to come back?" he asked.
"Your father and I haven't been to Europe for a long time. We want to stay for a while and meet old friends. When we have enough fun, we will come back to see you. You have already married someone, so we can meet whenever we want. There is no rush."
Mainland China: …
Even if you are not in a hurry, I am!
"Okay, son. I'm still very sleepy and want to sleep a little longer. Bye!" Mother Lu said and hung up the phone.
Mainland China: …
The request for help failed.
After hanging up the phone, he looked down at his bathrobe that was soaked with foreign liquor, sighed silently, and took it off with a frown. The whole piece of clothing smelled of alcohol, which was enough to suffocate a person. He had to take a shower first.
I have just completely pissed off Chu Xiu. Not only can we not sleep together tonight, I guess I won't even get a pain-relieving kiss from her.
Thinking of this, the man who was a master strategist in the business world sighed helplessly again.
The sadness in his heart, like the dark clouds rolling over the horizon, weighed heavily on him.
What method should I use to successfully get myself into Chu Xiu's bed tomorrow?
It's really no wonder that he has no principles.
He had been having trouble sleeping these years, suffering from frequent insomnia, but he managed to get through it. He could endure it because he had never experienced the feeling of a sound and sweet sleep, but after sleeping soundly next to Chu Xiu for two nights, he really didn't want to endure the pain of insomnia anymore, and couldn't endure it.
It's like a machine that has been working for a long time. It seems that it can't bear the load, but as long as the parts are there, it can continue to work. Until one day, a part suddenly loosens and the machine collapses.
Lu Yuanzhou felt that if he couldn't sleep next to Chu Xiu, he would really collapse.
So as long as he could sleep with Chu Xiu, he really didn't mind using any means.
"Ha~chiu! Ha~chiu!" Chu Xiu closed the bedroom door and sneezed twice. She thought that it was Lu Yuanzhou who was scolding her. Not only did she pour out half a bottle of his expensive foreign liquor, but she also made him wet.
But he is too weird. In order to sleep with her, he really would try any tricks. What is his purpose?
If other men always wanted to climb into a woman's bed, they would definitely have dirty thoughts. But a man like Lu Yuanzhou, who would blush and get angry even when kissing, would definitely not be so unrestrained.
So he must have another purpose, but he just doesn't want to say it.
Chu Xiu guessed that this might be related to his insomnia. Could it be that she had something that could cure his insomnia? ?
Stop, stop. She really didn't want to continue guessing. Now because her kiss could relieve his headache, they kissed every day. If she could also help him cure insomnia, wouldn't they sleep together every day in the future? ?
She is not crazy!! They had clearly agreed that it was a fake marriage, but if they continue to be entangled like this, it will become real!
To be honest, she is a face-chaser, and it is already hard for her to control herself when she kisses a tall, long-legged, handsome guy every day. If she then sleeps in his arms every day, she is really afraid that one day she will lose control and knock him down and eat him!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling guilty, so she took out her phone and sent a message to Ran Ran, "Baby, when are we going to the Film City?"
Ran Ran was probably playing with her phone, and she replied immediately, "This weekend, don't you have two more physical education classes to attend?"
Chu Xiu thought for a moment and said, "How about we skip the remaining two classes, pack up our things, and head to the Film City tomorrow?"
Ran Ran asked curiously, "Sister, why are you so anxious to join the group? Didn't you ask Sister Zhao if you could take two more days off? Don't you think you haven't rested enough?"
Chu Xiu: ...
After a while, Chu Xiu said, "I feel that if I don't join the group, something irreversible will happen to me!!"
Ran Ran:!!!
That night, Lu Yuanzhou not only suffered from insomnia, but also had a headache. He tossed and turned all night long, and it was not until three or four in the morning that he managed to take a short nap. When he woke up the next morning, there were two dark circles under his eyes.
He walked to the dining table, poured himself a glass of warm water, and looked at the time before asking Butler Liu, "Is Chu Xiu not coming down yet?"
Butler Liu brought breakfast and said, "My wife left early in the morning and didn't even have breakfast. She said she was going out with her assistant to have some snacks."
Lu Yuanzhou said "oh", pulled out a chair and sat down, ready to eat breakfast and then go to work.
Butler Liu poured him a glass of juice and said, "Sir, you have to take care of your wife. Snacks outside are unhygienic and will affect your health."
Lu Yuanzhou raised his head and looked at him strangely, saying, "Why should I care about her? Don't you know the relationship between her and me best?"
Butler Liu was stunned and said in confusion: "Of course I know, but haven't you already slept together? Isn't it a done deal?"
Lu Yuanzhou frowned, glared at him, and said, "That's not the case. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Butler Liu nodded somewhat disappointedly, turned and walked away.
Lu Yuanzhou continued to drink his porridge, but then he stopped and stared at the bowl in front of him in a daze.
What has been done?
How to cook it? Become a real couple, and then you can sleep in the same bed openly? ?
Lu Yuanzhou looked up at the floor-to-ceiling window of the restaurant and realized that it was snowing outside the yard. It was so cold, but the woman actually ran out early in the morning.
It seems that she really wanted to eat snacks, and she also really wanted to avoid him. She was so brave to pour wine on him last night, but today she doesn't dare to face him.
When they arrived at the company, their subordinates had been scolded for two days in a row. Seeing him now was like seeing a big devil. They wanted to hide as far away from him as possible, for fear of being caught and scolded by him again.
However, the big devil had no intention of scolding anyone today. After entering the office, he was exceptionally quiet. During this time, Assistant Du went in twice to deliver documents for Lu Yuanzhou to sign. Every time he went in, he was seen turning his boss chair towards the glass wall and staring at the light snow outside.
Assistant Du has been following Lu Yuanzhou for several years. Looking at his expression, one can tell that he is thinking about something. Although he appears harmless on the surface, who knows what he is planning in his heart.
I don’t know which company will be in trouble this time.
At noon, Dong Dongjian came to Lu's to find Lu Yuanzhou again. "I happened to pass by here, so I came up to take a look." He said happily.
"Are you still wandering outside on a snowy day?" When Lu Yuanzhou said this to him, he was thinking of Chu Xiu who ran out early in the morning.
Dong Dongjian sat slumped on the sofa and sighed, "I can't stay idle. I can't sit in the office like you all day."
Dong Dongjian's family is in the construction business, and he would run to the construction site all day long when he had nothing to do, under the pretext of inspecting the work, but in fact he was just wandering around.
"Brother Zhou, what do you want to eat for lunch? This kind of weather is perfect for eating sea cucumbers. Call sister-in-law and let's go eat together!"
Lu Yuanzhou didn't say yes or no, he just picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Chu Xiu, "Let's have hot pot at noon, do you want to come?"
After a while, Chu Xiu sent him a photo showing several people eating hot pot around their dining table, including housekeeper Liu, several servants, and Chu Xiu's assistant Ran Ran.
Mainland China: …
Dong Dongjian came over to take a look, then smiled and said, "Hey, sister-in-law, you are really enjoying your life. Brother, how about we go and eat?"
Lu Yuanzhou put down the phone, looking unhappy, and said, "What hot pot? It's a waste of time. Go down to the staff canteen and get two lunch boxes."
Dong Dongjian: …
From being rescued from the bottom of the sea to having a box lunch, isn’t the gap a bit too big?
In the end, Dong Dongjian obediently went downstairs to buy a box lunch, and the two of them sat at the desk to eat.
Lu Yuanzhou is not picky about food and can eat anything, but today his appetite is not very good. After taking a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and stared at Dong Dongjian, almost making Dong Dongjian angry.
"No, brother, why are you looking at me? I'm scared!"
The two had been friends since childhood, and their feelings for each other were beyond words and there were no secrets. Among Lu Yuanzhou's many friends, only Dong Dongjian knew that his marriage with Chu Xiu was a fake one.
Lu Yuanzhou thought about it and told him that he could fall asleep by sleeping with Chu Xiu.
"At first she was not prepared, and we slept together for two nights, but then we couldn't find another chance." After saying this, Lu Yuanzhou looked a little hesitant, and said, "What do you think... it's a done deal, what do you think?"
Dong Dongjian glared, "Brother, are you going to stay with her for a long time?"
Lu Yuanzhou said: "I haven't had time to think about the future yet. Now I just want to sleep."
Scumbag! Dong Dongjian cursed in his heart, and said: "You have to think about this matter carefully. I think my sister-in-law is not a casual person. If you want to make it a done deal, you have to plan your future affairs carefully."
Lu Yuanzhou tapped the table with his fingers and said, "I have never thought about staying with any woman for a long time, but if it is her, I would not be too opposed to it."
Dong Dongjian was also quite conflicted. Although he thought Lu Yuanzhou's idea was a bit bad, he was his childhood friend and he couldn't bear to see him suffer from insomnia.
"You just want to find an opportunity to sleep in the same bed with her, right?" he asked Lu Yuanzhou.
Lu Yuanzhou nodded, "I plan to find an opportunity to sleep with her, and then... make it a done deal."
Dong Dongjian said, "Then I have an idea. How many guest rooms do you have in your house, including the one you are sleeping in now?"
"Five."
Dong Dongjian said, "Then I will bring four friends over tonight and say we are going to hold a party in the glass house on the roof of your house, and then stay the night at your house. In front of outsiders, your sister-in-law will definitely not refuse to share a room with you."
After hearing this, Lu Yuanzhou slammed the table and said, "Good brother!"
That night, several young people stayed up late at the Lu family's house, and housekeeper Liu arranged rooms for them to sleep in one by one.
After taking a shower in the guest room, Lu Yuanzhou went upstairs to find Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu refused to let him in and stood at the bedroom door and asked him, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yuanzhou said as a matter of course: "The guest room is full, I have to sleep with you tonight."
Chu Xiu crossed her arms and said, "That's right. We can't let others know our true relationship."
Lu Yuanzhou nodded quickly.
…
Half an hour later, in the guest room downstairs, Lu Yuanzhou was lying on the big bed, staring at the ceiling in silence, unable to understand why this happened.
Dong Dongjian, who was lying beside him, comforted him, "Brother, think positively. At least this bed is big enough for two grown men like us to sleep together! Hehehe... We haven't slept together since we were 10 years old. I miss it a lot when I think about it!"
