Chapter 54 Chapter 54 So you are... in love with Cheng Yi...
The next day, Cheng Yi arrived at the company early.
He did all the routine work, including making coffee, watering the money tree, and organizing his boss's filing cabinet. However, he always felt that someone was watching him from behind.
Cheng Yi turned his head and happened to meet Lu Yu's eyes. The boss's silver-rimmed glasses swayed slightly in the sunlight, and a ray of light flashed across the lenses.
"……Well."
Cheng Yi touched the back of his head somewhat unnaturally, wondering if there was some chewing gum stuck on it. Otherwise, why wouldn't the boss concentrate on his work and stare at him!
He even twisted deeply and looked behind her buttocks, but he didn't see anything except two firm peach buttocks.
Lu Yu noticed his series of strange movements and raised his hand to gesture to him: "Come here."
Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, closed the door of the filing cabinet, and walked towards his boss.
"Come closer." Lu Yu pointed in front of himself and gestured again.
Cheng Yi simply stood in front of his boss and almost stepped on the tip of his leather shoes.
Lu Yu's gaze moved from the young man's face downwards, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed one of the other's hands.
Cheng Yi: “!”
The back of his hand was against the man's warm palm, and his fingers curled up unconsciously.
"What happened?" Lu Yu asked. He saw that, except for Cheng Yi's little finger, all the other fingers were wrapped with Band-Aids. The other hand too.
"Are you hurt?" Lu Yu frowned.
"Oh, about this..." Cheng Yi took out the lines he had prepared in advance, "Didn't I break the corn yesterday? I made a few small cuts, but it's no big deal."
This was a "small cut" he made last night to deal with the risk of being exposed. He didn't want to really cut his finger, so he used a Band-Aid to create the illusion.
Lu Yu stared at the young man's fingers, his heart sank slightly, his doubts instantly disappeared, and he stopped thinking about it.
"From today on, don't do any physical work and don't work overtime at night. Go home and rest early," he said.
Cheng Yi's eyes widened slightly when he heard this: "Huh? But I have two jobs and a lot of work to do. I may not be able to finish it within 8 hours."
"Then do it the next day," Lu Yu said firmly, "Work is secondary, health is primary. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
“……”Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi couldn't believe that Lu Yu could actually say "work is secondary", but at the same time he felt a little ashamed.
He lied to his boss, but his boss cared about him. He was ashamed of his dishonesty and he deserved to be whipped by Lu Yu with a small whip.
"I don't want to do physical work anymore, but I still have to work overtime," Cheng Yi was rare in his persistence in doing the thing he once hated the most. "Why not just work until 8 o'clock? I'll leave at 8 o'clock and try to improve efficiency as much as possible."
Lu Yu looked at him for a long time before retracting his gaze. He said "hmm" softly, and curled his lips slightly at an angle where Cheng Yi couldn't see.
A person who never works overtime now asks for overtime, refuses to agree if not allowed, and even bargains.
It can be seen how strong Cheng Yi's desire is to spend a few more hours with him after get off work, and he is determined to do so regardless of rain or shine.
Cheng Yi still cared about himself very much and wanted to stay with him, accompany him, and spend the long night with him, even if it was in such a boring way as working overtime.
This is a pure and sincere feeling, which is rare and precious. He should cherish it and give something back...
Cheng Yi didn't know that his image was becoming increasingly prominent in Lu Yu's heart.
After returning to his workstation, he quickly got down to work.
However, the cell phone kept ringing the entire morning, with more than thirty calls and WeChat messages, all from Zhao Xiaolang.
Cheng Yi was speechless. Zhao Xiaolang had a deep misunderstanding of him.
A plain flattery can actually turn into a love story, and I think he loves deeply.
Damn it, it’s not a crime to believe in things, but it’s wrong for you to come out and scare people.
Although Cheng Yi remembered his elder brother's words not to offend the Zhao family. But he is not so good-tempered that he would allow others to do whatever they want and be lustful.
He took a break to go to the bathroom, deleted all the flirtatious WeChat messages that Zhao Xiaolang had sent him with one click, and made a phone call.
"Mr. Lang, I think I may have caused you some misunderstandings yesterday. I apologize to you. But please stop imagining my feelings for you. I will tell you the truth. I have been suffering from [love loss] for many years. This is a more serious disease than [muscle weakness] and [impotence]. Do you understand?"
"Also, my company has strict management. Please don't call or text me when I'm at work. If my boss sees this, he will stab a vampire in the middle of the night. Oh, the one who harassed his employees will be stabbed."
He fired the phone like a machine gun and hung up.
After that, Zhao Xiaolang really didn't call or send WeChat messages again, and Cheng Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The morning passed quickly.
As lunchtime approached, Cheng Yi received a temporary assignment from Lu Yu, asking him to go out for dinner with him, as it was Lu Lingyi's birthday today.
"Oh no!" Cheng Yi slapped his head, "I actually forgot about it and didn't have time to prepare a gift for him. I'm so sorry."
"He doesn't care about those things." Lu Yu said, "It's good that you're gone. Let's go."
Cheng Yi got into the car with a frustrated look on his face, muttering to himself that he was too careless. Lu Yu checked his handbag before getting in the car, making sure everything was there before getting into the driver's seat.
The two entered the restaurant and Lu Lingyi was already waiting in the private room.
"Brother, Brother Xiaoyi, you guys are finally here. I'm hungry."
Cheng Yi attended his best friend's birthday party empty-handed and felt very bad.
"I didn't have time to prepare a gift," he said honestly, "So, within my ability, just tell me what you want, as long as I have..."
"Hey, there's no need for us to be so polite." Lu Ling patted him.
"That won't work. The birthday ceremony must be there."
Cheng Yi insisted on sending it, and Lu Lingzhi had no choice but to agree.
"Actually, my brother hasn't given me a gift yet, because there is a tradition in my family for my birthday, where I draw a card to choose a gift." Lu Ling said as he took out a set of playing cards or something like that from his bag.
"This is the new gift card I customized this year, brother, please turn it over." He smiled and arranged the cards in a row. At a glance, there were about a dozen cards, with the backs facing up and the fronts facing down, and each card looked the same.
The gifts shown on the cards are all the ones he likes and wants.
Cheng Yi thought this method was great.
"So creative," he clapped his hands and praised, "Then Mr. Lu, you turn over the cards first, and after you turn over, I'll turn over one too. The gift matter is happily decided like this."
Lu Yu casually picked up a card from the center, turned it over and saw that it said: Cash/Bank Card 88.88 million.
"Ah! It's not the one worth 800 million." Lu Lingyi was discouraged, "Can you draw again, brother? We can play two out of three."
"No," Lu Yu refused, "People should have a spirit of contract."
“…”
Lu Lingyi lost 800 million yuan.
Cheng Yi was watching from the side and was terrified.
"Uh, well, if I turned over the 800 million gift card, I might...oh no, I definitely can't come up with it."
"Then don't draw that deck of cards," Lu Yu interrupted without waiting for Lu Lingyi to speak, "The lowest amount in that deck of cards is 8.88 million. I know Lu Lingyi."
Lu Lingyi: “?”
"Here's another set of cards," Lu Yu took out another set from his bag like a magic trick, "The gifts here are more approachable and thoughtful."
Cheng Yi nodded in agreement and gave his boss a smile. Understanding is the key.
Afterwards, she did not forget to cover her vest and said to Lu Lingyi, "It's not that I don't want to spend money, Lingyi, I'm different from you guys, I'm still a loser. When I become rich in the future, I will be worthy of the gift cards that your brother turned over."
Lu Lingyi was still a little confused, and his brother had confused him.
What the hell is this set of gift tags that suddenly appeared? It seems like they were custom-made for Cheng Yi.
Also, how come his brother had never even looked at the set of gift tags he customized, so the minimum amount of money in the tags was 8.88 million? Is he such a money-loving person?
Lu Yu placed the new gift card upside down on the table. Just as Cheng Yi was about to flip it over, his cell phone suddenly rang.
He took a look and saw that it was his eldest brother.
"Sorry, I have to go out and answer a phone call." Cheng Yi was afraid that something might have happened at home again, so he hurried outside the box to answer the phone.
Lu Lingyi watched the door close and turned his head quickly.
"Brother, tell me, what's the matter with this gift tag of yours?" he asked curiously.
Lu Yu pursed his lips and raised his chin towards Lu Ling: "You will know after you take a look."
Lu Lingyi hissed, feeling that something was not right with his brother today. He looked mysterious, as if he was secretly planning something.
He narrowed his eyes and picked up a gift card at random from Lu Yu's set.
I took a closer look and - damn!
Two words clearly appeared on the card: sister-in-law.
What does this mean? Ask Cheng Yi to give him a sister-in-law?
Lu Lingyi: “!”
Lu Lingyi: “!!!”
Lu Lingyi rubbed his eyes and quickly reached out to look for another gift brand - Sister-in-law. sister in law. sister in law. sister in law. sister in law.
...Twelve cards in total, all with sister-in-law on them! It made his eyes so blurry that he could hardly recognize the two words.
"Brother!" Lu Lingyi grabbed Lu Yu's hand fiercely, as if he had bitten into a huge melon, "Brother, you are actually... gay?!" he said in disbelief.
"I'm not gay." Lu Yu said with certainty.
"So you..." Lu Lingyi held the "Sister-in-law Army" gift card in his palm, took a deep breath, and changed his words, "So you...are in love with Cheng Yi?"
Lu Yu lowered his eyes and said nothing this time.
"Ah ...
"Is it really that serious? Are you that shocked?" Lu Yu's tone remained calm, but his ears slightly turned red.
"No, not really?" Lu Ling stuttered, and it took him two full minutes to digest what he had just said before he finally returned to his normal self.
It also helped his brother to sort out his thoughts.
His brother is not gay, he just fell in love with Cheng Yi.
In front of other people, his brother is still a straight man, but in front of Cheng Yi, his personality changes and he becomes as bent as a mosquito coil.
What the hell...a mysterious and great love!
Lu Lingyi was in high spirits, even more excited and thrilled than when he was in love.
"Then brother, does Cheng Yi know that you like him?" He grabbed his brother and continued to eat melon.
"They probably don't know." Lu Yu said, and pointed at the gift tag (customized version) again, "So I customized this. Double surprise."
Lu Lingyi gave his brother a thumbs up: "You are really scheming... Oh no no, I mean, you are really smart!"
This was done with full preparation, and was designed to be a part of the play.
Lu Yu glanced at him and said nothing. He rearranged the gift cards and placed them on the dining table in their original order.
Lu Lingyi looked at his focused and serious expression, feeling happy but also a little worried.
"So brother, does Cheng Yi have feelings for you as well?" He asked the crucial question.
He had tried it many times before, and judging from the feedback, Cheng Yi didn't seem to have any ideas in this regard.
Lu Yu lowered his eyes and pursed his lips gently: "He..."
He wanted to be sure. He does.
During this period of time, I have seen it very clearly. If you care about someone and pay attention to someone, your eyes and behavior cannot lie. Cheng Yi has some feelings for him.
Although he may have a broad mind and be absent-minded occasionally, he probably won't do that once he completely defeats Cheng Yi's predecessor Cheng Xiaoyong.
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it so confidently.
"Results oriented, you will know soon." Lu Yu said.
Just as he finished speaking, Cheng Yi pushed the door open and came in.
"Sorry to have wasted your time." He said apologetically.
"It's okay," Lu Yu said calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He pushed the gift card on the table to Cheng Yi's hand, his eyes were rarely gentle, "Turn over one."
