The next day, Li Peiyu opened her eyes to find Lu Yuzhi's handsome face before her. She reached out to touch it, but as soon as she raised her hand, a wave of soreness washed over her. Last night, she had flirted with Lu Yuzhi, smugly believing herself to be in control. But when she saw him take a red string from his bag, she realized who the lamb to the slaughter was.
Although teasing Lu Yuzhi was very interesting and the subsequent events were extremely exciting, the result of her body falling apart was something she couldn't bear.
Li Peiyu was admiring the handsome face in front of her when Lu Yuzhi stirred, pulled her into his arms, and then went back to sleep.
Li Peiyu wanted to move her arms and legs, but she was restrained. The more she couldn't move, the more uncomfortable she felt. So she could only move her glass-bead-like eyes and lotus root-like feet.
After playing by myself for a while, I don't know why I fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, Lu Yuzhi was lying on his side, the blanket covering his waist. The red marks all over his body were very noticeable; they were all from her. And she herself wasn't in much better shape.
Lu Yuzhi stared at Li Peiyu with a somewhat casual and unrestrained expression, reminiscing about the vibrant growth of spring bamboo shoots last night, their red and green hues filling his eyes with doting affection, and his tone full of tenderness, "Are you awake?"
"Um."
"Well then, get up? Have some breakfast, then we'll go home."
"Mmm," she responded, but the soreness in her limbs was almost unbearable.
Li Peiyu started to worry. If this happened so often, how could she go to work?
This time it's a red string, what will it be next time?
We must make a three-point agreement with him.
"Lu Yuzhi, you've made it so I can't get out of bed."
"Then I'll carry you out of bed."
"Um, could you please submit an application before you start doing something like this next time? If you just surprise me like this, how am I supposed to keep my job?"
“Honey, you don’t need to apply, because this is a punishment. If you don’t come home for several days in a row, I’ll find all sorts of ways to torment you.”
Forehead---
After straightening his clothes, Lu Yuzhi said, "I'll help you get dressed."
After finally getting dressed, Li Peiyu struggled to get out of bed, stretched her limbs, and let her body adjust. Fortunately, this body was still usable.
At this time, the hotel restaurant had long since stopped serving food. The two ate something simple at a small shop outside and then headed to the airport.
In the waiting room, the two found seats and sat down, their fingers intertwined the whole time.
Li Peiyu asked, "Have you contacted Gu Yan? How are he and his mother?"
Logically, she should have asked Gu Yan about it earlier, but she was so busy that she forgot, and only remembered when she saw the plane outside the waiting room.
“He called me on the third day of the Lunar New Year. He had reconciled with his mother.”
That's great.
"Um."
Li Peiyu wanted to ask more specific questions, but because Gu Yan's mother was Lu Yuzhi's first love, she didn't say anything more.
"Aren't you going to ask how they reconciled?"
"How did they reconcile?"
"After leaving, Gu Hongxi went to Country Y to study architecture. After more than ten years of hard work, she finally realized her dream and became a great architect."
"Very inspiring."
"Um."
Just then, Wang Boyang called.
Wang Boyang said urgently, "When are you coming back? There are so many things going on at the company, I can't make decisions on my own."
"You're at the company?" Li Peiyu didn't know that Wang Boyang and Gu Yan had gone to Y country together; she thought he was at home during the Spring Festival holiday.
"Yes, I arrived at the company the day before yesterday."
"I'm at the airport now, I'll arrive tonight."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the company. There are a lot of things I need to discuss with you."
After getting off the plane, Li Peiyu rushed to the company without stopping. Lu Yuzhi did the same.
The company's affairs are piling up.
Both bosses need to make time for dating.
Like two playful students who, after playing all day, are doing their homework late into the night.
But
Most of the money in City S ended up in the pockets of this young couple. Isn't that infuriating?
The moment Li Peiyu stepped into the company, Wang Boyang immediately came to greet her.
"You're finally back!" Wang Boyang said, handing over a stack of documents.
Li Peiyu took the document, glanced at it briefly, and frowned slightly.
Working overtime until dawn.
The two entered the conference room and began to discuss each matter one by one.
In particular, we signed several handsome young men before the new year, and their career paths are very important.
After several hours of intense discussion, most of the issues have been addressed with preliminary direction.
Li Peiyu rubbed her shoulders and let out a long sigh. "I'm a little hungry, is there anything to eat?"
Wang Boyang said, "We have instant noodles prepared for the employees, or we can order takeout for you."
"Instant noodles it is."
Wang Boyang brewed two buckets of liquid and placed one of them in front of Li Peiyu.
While waiting for their instant noodles, the two chatted casually.
Wang Boyang spoke first, saying, "How come you're trending again with Xiao Fan?"
“Uh,” Li Peiyu paused slightly, because she needed to cover up Xiao Fan and Zhang Yuwen’s relationship, but this matter absolutely could not be revealed to outsiders.
"Last time you and him trended on social media to divert attention from his and Zhang Yuwen's situation. What about this time? You've been staying at his place for several days in a row. Doesn't your Lu Yuzhi have any objections?"
“Uh,” Li Peiyu was speechless again.
"So, is Xiao Fan gay or not? Are he and Zhang Yuwen a couple?"
"Wang Boyang, when did you become so gossipy?" Li Peiyu said helplessly.
"Just curious," Wang Boyang said frankly.
“This is someone else’s privacy, I can’t tell you,” Li Peiyu said with a serious expression.
“Not denying it is tantamount to admitting it,” Wang Boyang muttered to himself.
"Don't tell anyone," Li Peiyu quickly emphasized.
"Okay," Wang Boyang replied.
The instant noodles were finally ready. Li Peiyu skillfully stirred the noodles with a fork and then took a bite.
Suddenly, Li Peiyu said, "Um, do you like me?"
Wang Boyang was eating noodles when he heard Li Peiyu's words. The small mouthful of noodle soup he had just sipped seemed to get stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down.
"Although you've never confessed your feelings to me, all the signs have been quite obvious. I'm already taken, so it's time for you to let go."
"Hey, stop being so narcissistic, okay? I haven't liked you for a long time," Wang Boyang retorted loudly.
"Really?" Li Peiyu asked, half believing it.
“Really.” Wang Boyang said firmly.
"Then why don't you date anyone? We're graduating soon, and it would be a real shame if we didn't date during college."
"I'm busy as a dog every day, how can I have time to date?" Wang Boyang complained.
“Time is like water in a sponge; you can always squeeze some out,” Li Peiyu said while eating noodles. “When I went to Xiao Fan’s variety show recording this time, the new executive producer was incredibly beautiful. If I were a guy, I would definitely have won her over. How about I play matchmaker for you two?”
