What's wrong with being a salted fish?

After dinner, Lin Zhuo asked Wan Linlin what she was going to do next. Wan Linlin smiled mysteriously and stretched out her hands.

"Do you see something missing from my hand?"

Luo Su immediately answered: "I know this question! There is no ring! Should we go to look for jewelry?"

Wan Linlin shook her index finger: "No, no, no!"

She stroked the back of her smooth and delicate hands: "My hands are so beautiful, it would be a pity if I don't get a manicure!"

"?" Luo Su had a dazed look on his face. This question was a bit beyond the scope for him.

"Can I not go?" Lin Zhuo raised his hand to indicate that getting a manicure would take a very long time and he couldn't afford it.

When Wan Linlin heard what Lin Zhuo said, she immediately covered her face with her hands: "Wow, I am so pitiful. I didn't even have the right to do a manicure before. Xu Wenhao said that Bai Li didn't like those fancy things and wouldn't let me do it! Now I am finally free, but I want to do a manicure and no one is with me. Wow, I am so miserable!"

Before Lin Zhuo could say anything, Luo Su started to coax her: "Go, go, we'll go with you, right, Brother Lin!"

"......" I hope you won't regret it later!

What could Lin Zhuo do? He could only be forcibly taken to the nail salon by these two men, one on each side.

The lady at the nail salon looked at her with great joy and said that Wan Linlin was so lucky to have a boyfriend who accompanied her while getting a manicure. She didn't know which of the two he was.

Wan Linlin also smiled, indicating that she was neither of them, and she wanted to be beautiful alone.

I don’t know if girls always have endless topics to talk about, but from the moment they sat down, Wan Linlin and the manicurist never stopped talking.

The two of them talked about everything from dressing up to TV dramas, from celebrities to singers, from international news to small things around them; they talked about everything there was to talk about.

Lin Zhuo once suspected that if the manicurist asked, Wan Linlin could even tell him her bank card password.

Luo Su was simply astonished. He thought he was quite talkative, but he didn't expect Wan Linlin to be even better than him. He couldn't even get a word in.

Then, Wan Linlin and the manicurist watched the currently popular TV series, and the two talked for a long time about the actors' acting skills.

Luo Su had nothing to do, so he went to tease Lin Zhuo who was lying on someone else's sofa: "Brother Lin, do you want to play games?"

Lin Zhuo looked up at him. The other party's eager gaze made it difficult for Lin Zhuo to refuse, so he had to sit up and turn on his mobile phone.

After about an hour, Lin Zhuo couldn't take it anymore. He turned off the game and lay down on the sofa: "Even if the king of heaven comes, I can't take it anymore. Good night, world."

"Come on, Brother Lin! Please guide me again! You are so awesome!" Luo Su smiled foolishly as he looked at his rising rank and stars, and continued to tease Lin Zhuo.

Lin Zhuo's will was very firm at this moment: "Good night world!"

"Alright alright."

Seeing that he was so tough, Luo Su changed someone to harass him.

At the same time, Duan Yunqi, who was in a meeting, looked at the messages that kept popping up on his mobile phone screen and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Duan?" The employee who was making a report was startled, wondering if he had said something wrong, as Duan Yunqi had clearly praised their plan last time.

"Nothing, you continue."

The employee continued to report. Duan Yunqi was originally listening attentively, but his thoughts kept drifting to his mobile phone. Finally, Duan Yunqi secretly took the phone under the table, unlocked it, and opened the green bubble in one go.

[Brother, I'm not saying this, your wife is amazing! Damn, she won ten games in a row, I'll wake up happy in my dreams tonight! ]

Duan Yunqi frowned slightly. What a loser! He was so happy after winning the game in a row?

Duan Yunqi was looking at the PPT on the screen and quietly replied to Luo Su: [Something promising]

As a result, Luo Su replied immediately: [I don’t have a single bit! ]

[You don’t know how vicious this season’s matching mechanism is! ]

[I won so many games with ease, what's wrong with me feeling good?]

[If you make any more noise, your bonus will be deducted]

[Brother, you have no moral principles! ]

"Cough cough!" The secretary standing behind Duan Yunqi suddenly coughed twice.

Duan Yunqi turned to look at him, and the other party signaled him to look at the screen.

"Mr. Duan, what do you think?"

It turned out that the employee had finished his report and was waiting for Duan Yunqi's instructions.

Duan Yunqi only listened to half of it, but fortunately he had some knowledge of the project before, and the team's plan was indeed good, so he nodded and said, "Not bad, keep it up."

After he finished speaking, the secretary signaled the next group to begin their report.

Duan Yunqi also knew that it was inappropriate to slack off any longer, so he was about to put his phone back, but he saw the last message Luo Su sent him.

[Photo of Lin Zhuo lying on the sofa]

[I can't reason with you, you heartless man! I really pity my sister-in-law! ]

Who did he say was pitiful?!

Duan Yunqi looked at the photos sent by Luo Su. They looked relaxed and happy on the other side of the screen. He looked at the employees reporting on the stage and couldn't help but clench his phone.

No matter how you think about it, he should be the one who is pitiful, right?!

......

By the time the three of them left the nail salon, it was dark.

Wan Linlin kept showing off her new nails: "Do they look good?"

Lin Zhuo and Luo Su nodded tiredly. They really didn't expect that Wan Linlin took six hours to do this manicure.

"Why doesn't Sister Linlin look tired at all?" Luo Su didn't understand. Wan Linlin had been sitting on the bench for so long and couldn't move, but she was still full of energy.

Lin Zhuo was helpless: "Maybe it's her special skill."

"What do you mean? Let's go eat?" Wan Linlin was in a good mood now.

Lin Zhuo shook his head: "I'll go home and eat. I'll go home and eat."

"Brother Lin, let me take you there!" Luo Su was now worried that Wan Linlin might have other activities after dinner.

Wan Linlin shrugged to show her understanding: "Okay, then I'll go back to the hotel and order takeout."

Luo Su came by car. He first sent Wan Linlin and her gains of the day back to the hotel, and then sent Lin Zhuo back to the villa.

In the car, he complained to Lin Zhuo: "Women's fighting power is amazing."

Lin Zhuo leaned back in the car seat and closed his eyes to rest: "You'll get used to it. Did you add green bubbles?"

"add."

"Then you will be indispensable in this kind of thing in the future. Your sister Lin doesn't have many friends."

After hearing what Lin Zhuo said, Luo Su imagined a big drama in his mind. In the drama, Wan Linlin had a miserable life and a humble situation. She was depressed because she was dependent on others. Now she was finally free, and Luo Su thought it was okay to let her go.

Luo Su nodded quickly: "I understand, I understand! I will come whenever you call me! I will never let Sister Linlin be sad!"

A yellow question mark appeared next to Lin Zhuo's head again. He always felt that Luo Su seemed to have imagined something that he didn't know.

......

Luo Su sent Lin Zhuo to the door of the villa, and Lin Zhuo invited him to come in and sit down. After all, his brother should be back from get off work at this time, and the two of them could chat for a while.

Unexpectedly, Luo Su shook his head in panic: "No, no, I'll come next time. I'm afraid my brother will beat me up!"

When he was about to leave, he did not forget to call Lin Zhuo: "Brother Lin, please help me with the game later!"

"decide as things go."

"Okay, bro, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, Luo Su quickly stepped on the accelerator and left, as if there was a wolf chasing him.

What's going on? Lin Zhuo wondered: Is Duan Yunqi a cannibal?

Lin Zhuo had just walked to the door and hadn't knocked when it opened from the inside.

Duan Yunqi was standing at the door in a dark blue home suit, with no expression on his face and a calm tone: "Are you back?"

Lin Zhuo looked at him in surprise. He had never seen him greet him before. Did he change his personality today?

"Yeah." Lin Zhuo said, walking past him, "Uncle Tian, ​​is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"

Uncle Tian quickly came out from the inner room and called Lin Zhuo to the dining room: "Yes, it's still hot. I saved it especially for you!"

Looking at Lin Zhuo's leaving back, Duan Yunqi stood at the door a little disappointed. He thought that the other party would tell him what he did today as usual.

Lin Zhuo seemed to have changed, but he himself seemed to have changed as well.

It was obvious that he didn't care about Lin Zhuo's daily life before.

When Duan Yunqi followed him to the restaurant, Lin Zhuo was having a meal.

He pulled out a chair and sat next to Lin Zhuo. Lin Zhuo turned around and looked at him with noodles in his mouth.

Seeing that Duan Yunqi didn't say anything, Lin Zhuo started to eat attentively again.

"Cough cough."

It sounded like he was reminding himself, so Lin Zhuo had to turn around and look at him again: "Does your throat feel uncomfortable? Ask Uncle Tian to pour you some hot water?"

"No."

"Ah."

After the brief conversation, the two fell silent again. Lin Zhuo could feel the awkward atmosphere between them even while eating noodles.

Especially when Duan Yunqi stared at him with such a burning gaze, Lin Zhuo felt a little unable to eat.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Lin Zhuo sighed inwardly, comforting himself that this was his partner and he should pamper her a little.

Duan Yunqi coughed twice again: "Who did you go out with today?"

Lin Zhuo put down his chopsticks: "Wan Linlin, didn't you see her yesterday?"

"You two have a good relationship?"

"It's ok, what's the problem?"

Duan Yunqi wanted to say that Wan Linlin was Xu Wenhao's person, and Lin Zhuo had better stay away from her, but for a moment he didn't know what position he was in to say this.

Based on his friendship with Lin Zhuo, he had no right to interfere in Lin Zhuo's social life; and he had a feeling that Lin Zhuo would not listen to him.

"Nothing." Duan Yunqi said softly.

Lin Zhuo was helpless. What was this man imagining again? "Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to hide it."

"It's really nothing." Compared to this, Duan Yunqi actually hoped that Lin Zhuo could chat with him about his daily life like before.

But Lin Zhuo looked very tired and had to concentrate on listening to what he said.

Duan Yunqi stood up and said, "After you finish eating, go to bed early."

Lin Zhuo: “?”

Are you really going to stop talking halfway? Fine, I won't kill you.

When Lin Zhuo finished his meal and went upstairs, Uncle Tian told him that Duan Yunqi had gone to the study to work again.

Busy, it’s better to be busy.

Lin Zhuo supported him with both hands: Only by working hard can you avoid bankruptcy.

It’s definitely not because he is in a bad mood.

Lin Zhuo went back to the room, played with his mobile phone for a while, played a few games with Luo Su, and then covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.

Before going to bed, he subconsciously touched the empty space on his left: Alas, I feel empty when I sleep alone.

For the next week, Lin Zhuo did not go out. He just hung out at home every day, eating snacks and watching movies. When he had nothing to do, he would go and damage the precious flowers and plants in Duan Yunqi's yard.

"Xiao Zhuo, phone call." Lin Zhuo heard Uncle Tian's voice while he was walking in the yard. He turned around and found that the other party was holding his cell phone.

"Thank you, Uncle Tian." Lin Zhuo took the phone: "Hello?"

Wan Linlin's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sister! I've found a house. Ask Xiao Su to come to my new house for dinner!"

"Okay, send me the address." Lin Zhuo said as he unconsciously pulled off the leaves of the flower in front of him that he couldn't name.

"Ok ok! I'll be waiting for you!"

After Lin Zhuo hung up the phone, he saw Uncle Tian looking at the leaf in his hand with a distressed look on his face.

"?" What happened?

"Are you going out?" Uncle Tian walked up to Lin Zhuo with a smile and took him back to the house to stop wasting the flowers.

Lin Zhuo held the leaf and followed Uncle Tian: "Well, go visit someone else's house."

"Then I'll prepare some gifts for you and contact Uncle Hu to send them to you." Uncle Tian looked as if he understood.

"It's troublesome."

"It's no trouble. It's a good thing to go out for a walk."

Uncle Tian gave Lin Zhuo the feeling of a parent staring at him while he was exercising.

Hearing this, Duan Yunqi, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, raised his head and asked, "Are you going out?"

Lin Zhuo looked at him straight. Duan Yunqi had changed his personality. He had been working from home these two days, but when he had nothing to do, he liked to stare at himself in a daze.

The other person's gaze was too intense, causing Lin Zhuo to be unwilling to leave the room for the past two days and stay in the bedroom.

Then Lin Zhuo discovered one thing. These two brothers were more annoying than the other. Luo Su kept pestering him to play games these days. If he disagreed, he would act like a spoiled child. Lin Zhuo had no way to deal with him.

Finally, Lin Zhuo had to go to Duan Yunqi and ask him if Luo Su was very free. Duan Yunqi's face darkened and he asked Lin Zhuo to go out first and he would take care of it.

Afterwards, no one knew what he said to Luo Su. Luo Su sent Lin Zhuo a few crying emoticons, but stopped bothering Lin Zhuo, allowing Lin Zhuo to spend two days in peace.

"Well, Linlin is moving to a new house, please treat us to a meal." Lin Zhuo lowered his head and sent a message to Luo Su.

"We?" Duan Yunqi thought Wan Linlin invited him.

"Ah?" Lin Zhuo looked up at him, then lowered his head: "Me and Xiao Su."

"......" It turns out that he was not bringing me.

Lin Zhuo reacted: "You want to go too?"

Duan Yunqi didn't say anything, but kept staring at Lin Zhuo, and Lin Zhuo thought that his eyes were full of desire.

Lin Zhuo lowered his head and sent a message to Wan Linlin: [I'll bring a family member with me.]

Wan Linlin replied quickly: [Your husband? Of course.]

After receiving the reply, Lin Zhuo began to instruct Duan Yunqi: "Go up and change your clothes."

Although Duan Yunqi's expression didn't change much, Lin Zhuo felt that his mood had improved a lot: "I'm going too?"

"You don't have to go." Lin Zhuo was too lazy to wait for him and went upstairs first.

Duan Yunqi quickly put down the book and followed Lin Zhuo upstairs.

When he went upstairs, he was still observing Lin Zhuo. Why didn't he notice that Lin Zhuo was so thin before? Didn't he eat well? Compared with him, Lin Zhuo looked a little petite.

"What are you looking at?" Duan Yunqi's gaze was so strong that Lin Zhuo felt itchy on his back, so he had to turn around and remind him.

Duan Yunqi replied casually: "Look at you."

“…” I beg you to shut up.
