Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 55 Mild Neurosis
Meeting is no small matter, especially lately.

The activities of two people have to take into account the third person. Lin Lu thought about it and came to a conclusion -

Going crazy can actually get people to take her seriously. At least now that she wants to meet Duan Chengyu, she has to choose a time when Pei Yizhou won't find out.

She hesitated and sent a reply to Duan Chengyu: [Around 7 o'clock tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the specific time will be notified later. Are you okay with that? ]

Duan Chengyu quickly replied: [Sure. But if it’s convenient, try to meet tomorrow. I thought we could meet tomorrow, so I reserved time for tomorrow.]

【Okay, I'll try my best. 】

Duan Chengyu: [The restaurant has been booked in advance and is open for three consecutive days. You can go anytime.]

Then he sent a location and a link. Lin Lu clicked on it and found that it was not the Window View Restaurant where they met before, but a cooking club close to Tanghu Mansion.

The reservation is for three consecutive days, and all three meals are included.

Such a comprehensive preparation was done very well, and the balance in Lin Lu's heart tilted towards "we can meet as soon as possible", and the hesitant thought of "let's talk about it at another time" was suppressed.

Duan Chengyu is a gentleman who takes all aspects of life into consideration and possesses a calmness that makes people feel at ease.

The afternoon working hours were passed by counting the time. No one had yet extricated themselves from the cozy atmosphere of the Spring Festival. People dozing off could be seen everywhere you went. Their eyes seemed to be stuck with glue and they couldn't open them no matter how hard they struggled.

Lin Lu was also a little sleepy. His eyes were reading the "Thirty-Day Quick Guide to Human Resources Administration", but his brain had already flown to the soft bed. His head kept nodding, and he was finally awakened by the wings of a dragonfly on a twisting stick that poked his forehead.

Then he became alert and happened to see Pei Yizhou passing by the door.

He was walking down the corridor talking to a group of high-level managers in suits. His already superior height became even more conspicuous because of his position among the crowd. Everyone who looked at him would first look at him.

And he glanced at her inadvertently.

Lin Lu immediately looked away and pretended to be a useless signal receiving base station, with a serious expression on his face as if he was working hard.

Pei Yizhou laughed out of her sight and led a group of people into the office.

Such a peaceful and tranquil day is the best day in recent times. When he gets off work, Pei Yizhou is still immersed in the joy that happiness is back on track and life is about to return to normal.

Not to mention that Lin Lu took the initiative to make a request to him, saying that he would have dinner at the company and go home after dinner.

It was a small matter, and Lin Lu's expression was not very good. He just described the reason in passing -

"The dishwasher doesn't work well, and you stay here for a long time after you come in. I think it's better to finish your meal here before leaving."

The reason was mixed with disdain for him, but Pei Yizhou accepted it smoothly and agreed readily.

So today when he got off work, Lin Lu didn't rush out to work, but sat still at his workstation.

When Pei Yizhou went to the door to call for help, he saw her face illuminated by the dim light of the computer, as cold and indifferent as an accountant who had been working on the books for ten years.

"Knock knock--" Two crisp sounds were heard on the glass door.

Lin Lu looked up and saw Pei Yizhou leaning against the door, with a faint smile on his lips, and gestured to her to go outside.

The eye contact was more awkward than talking, as if they had an extraordinary tacit understanding.

She subconsciously turned her head and glanced around the office. Everyone else had left, only Sister Chen was still there. She lowered her head and sorted a bunch of filing cabinet keys. She seemed not to hear the knock on the door.

Realizing that he shouldn't act like a thief, Lin Lu took a deep breath, stood up and walked out naturally.

They started talking only after the door of the general manager's office was closed.

"Today we have your favorite cold chicken nuggets, try it and see how it tastes." Pei Yizhou was behind her. After looking at her back enough, he went to hold her hand again.

She shook her hand away. Pei Yizhou had no other emotions, and seemed to hold the principle that if he could hold her hand, it would be the best, but if he couldn't, it would be fine. After being dodged, he smiled at her and walked to the small sofa and sat down.

Started to unpack her boxes and show her the dishes for tonight.

Lin Lu had mixed feelings.

Speaking of which, it's not like she had not been pursued by male classmates when she was in school, but everyone's pursuit was carried out with normal thinking, so there were traces to follow. After receiving the love letter, she could bet with her deskmate what means the other party would use next time.

But the person in front of her is different, he is not normal, so she has to be alert and pay attention to what he will do next at any time.

Therefore, he was highly sensitive to Pei Yizhou's every word and action.

"There are crispy peanuts in the cold chicken nuggets," Pei Yizhou acted like a brother again, and warned her, "but you have to eat less. Eating too much will cause internal heat."

He stuffed the bowl, chopsticks and spoon into her hands, and put the first piece of chicken into her bowl. He then asked, "You've been sleeping with the heater on for a long time. Do you have symptoms of dry throat recently? If so, you should go home for dinner tomorrow night and make some tangerine peel and snow pear soup for yourself."

Lin Lu's eyelids twitched slightly, and he refused in a neutral tone: "No, no need."

After that, he put a piece of chicken in his bowl and said impatiently, "Eat your meal."

As if to shut him up.

But Pei Yizhou didn't care. He had a gentle expression and ate the piece of meat with a smile.

After dinner, Pei Yizhou drove her home.

There were still a lot of people in the company, some of them had just returned from the cafeteria to continue working overtime. Seeing them walking out of the company side by side, they all greeted them politely, and Mr. Pei kept calling him Mr. Pei all the way.

Lin Lu felt like he was walking on the red carpet, with people lining up on both sides to welcome him and applauding and playing music.

I was so embarrassed that I wanted to lower my head and rush out.

"Don't take me with you around the company next time," she said after getting in the car.

Pei Yizhou unbuckled her seat belt and then buckled it again, holding the steering wheel with his hands and sliding it half a circle, and said lightly: "You will get used to it sooner or later."

She sneered, reached out to grab the spring man car decoration she had bought earlier, and threw it into her bag.

"Lulu, don't take your anger out on my gift." Pei Yizhou said helplessly.

Lin Lu wanted to retort, but was afraid that he was just waiting for her to say "I'm taking it out on you", so she simply pretended she didn't hear him and didn't respond.

Even during the evening rush hour, it was only a little over half an hour's drive from the company to Tanghu Mansion, and they arrived at around seven o'clock.

According to her request, Pei Yizhou should have left after sending the person there, but the devil is always one step ahead of the saint, and he could come up with countless reasons to stay without having to make up any excuses.

The reason this time was that I wanted to go in and get something.

Lin Lu stood guard at the door: "Buy it yourself. Isn't the company busy? You can go back to work overtime and earn money now."

"Not busy tonight."

"That means the company's burden is still too light, and your work is not sufficient."

"I became a boss just to be unsaturated. The benefits of hiring someone at a high price are obvious. I have enough time to spend with you."

Lin Lu did not refute, but refused to give in.

Pei Yizhou still smiled helplessly: "Lulu, I don't have enough pajamas, belts and underwear. Do you want to bring them to the company for me tomorrow?"
