After being laid off, Mr. Lu asked me to interview at his company

Lin Qing moved quickly. After about 10 minutes, Lu Yanqi saw her jogging out of the community. She must have been afraid that he would wait too long.

She was still panting when she got in the car. Lu Yanqi glanced at her chest that was rising and falling due to her panting, and his Adam's apple choked, "Why are you still carrying a computer?"

Lin Qing put her backpack on her legs and adjusted her skirt without raising her head. "I don't know when the water will come tomorrow. I'm bored in the hotel, so I'm working on some design drafts to kill time." Then she pointed out the approximate location of the hotel to Lu Yanqi.

Lu Yanqi remained silent. He really wanted to discuss his suggestion with her, but in the end he did not bring it up. He turned the car around and drove towards the hotel.

They soon arrived near the hotel, but it was inconvenient to park. Lin Qing said to him, "Mr. Lu, please drop me off here. I can walk there by myself."

"It's okay, I'll find a place to park. It's too late now, I'll take you to the hotel and then go back." He was worried about her walking over alone.

Lin Qing finally realized that she could not refuse Lu Yanqi's words. She felt that it was natural to accept his help. Oh, don't think about it anymore. Let's just leave it at that for today.

Lu Yanqi parked the car in front of a closed store. He helped her carry her computer bag, and she carried a backpack filled with clothes. They crossed the street and walked towards the hotel.

This hotel is not small, with two floors of guest rooms. After entering the door, Lin Qing asked the girl at the front desk: "Excuse me, are there any guest rooms available?"

The girl at the front desk said: "There will be no water before 8 o'clock. I heard that there was a water outage in a nearby community today, so many people came to stay at the hotel."

Hearing the answer from the girl at the front desk, Lin Qing felt a little disappointed and sighed. She was a little tired and wanted to take a shower and rest early.

The girl at the front desk looked at Lu Yanqi behind Lin Qing with bright eyes and a shy expression on her face. Then she said to Lin Qing with a kind and gentle smile: "You can go to Nanshan Road with your boyfriend. There is a star-rated hotel there. There should be suites available. I wish you a pleasant night."

After hearing what the girl at the front desk said, Lin Qing knew that she had been misunderstood. She wanted to explain, but no one would remember her when she left the hotel. So she was too lazy to explain. Her fair cheeks turned slightly red. She just said "thank you" and left the hotel.

Lu Yanqi was very satisfied with Lin Qing's reaction. During these few times of getting along, he could feel that she didn't dislike him, and that their relationship had changed from that of a superior and a subordinate to that of friends. He just had to wait and give her enough time to adapt.

He followed Lin Qing out of the hotel.

"What's your plan?" Lu Yanqi asked.

"I don't want to bother with that anymore. I'm a little tired now. I'll go to the 24-hour convenience store in the community to buy a bucket of mineral water and wipe my body when I get back. Don't laugh at me." Lin Qing looked back at Lu Yanqi and said with puffed cheeks.

Lu Yanqi didn't laugh at first, but when he heard Lin Qing's words, he couldn't help but stare at her and chuckled.

"I told you not to laugh at me. If I don't tell you and you don't tell me, who would know that I don't take a shower, right?" Lin Qing's voice became coquettish, and she jumped back and forth to look at Lu Yanqi.

To Lu Yanqi, this voice was full of tender sweetness. Her steps were as light as clouds, like joyful dancing notes, and simply a touch of vivid color.

Lu Yanqi's eyes were full of tenderness.

But he still poured cold water on her: "Are you sure the convenience store still has mineral water for you?"

Lin Qing was stunned. Yes, maybe she was not the only one who had this idea.

Lin Qing, who was just excited, lost his passion. "Well, I'll just bear with it tonight. I live alone anyway, so even if I sweat, it won't bother others."

"I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?" Lu Yanqi took two steps forward, walked side by side with Lin Qing, and asked tentatively.

Lin Qing was curious and turned his head to look at him: "Hmm? Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Good or not, you'll know after you listen."

"Mr. Lu, could you please stop selling official titles? Please speak frankly." Lin Qing was already a little anxious.

Lu Yanqi looked down and saw her anxious look. She even used a respectful name, which was so cute. He said, "Live at my house. Water and electricity are free for you. How about that? Is this a good suggestion?"

After hearing this, Lin Qing glared at him and made fun of her, "Mr. Lu, this joke is not funny at all." After saying that, she walked forward quickly.

In the eyes of others, this is definitely a girlfriend acting coquettishly to her boyfriend.

Lu Yanqi guessed that Lin Qing would not believe it, so he said sincerely again: "I'm not kidding, really, you can stay at my house tonight."

Hearing that Lu Yanqi's tone didn't sound like a joke, Lin Qing stopped and locked his eyes on him, with surprise and a hint of indescribable expectation in his eyes.

"It's inconvenient, isn't it? What will your family think of me if you bring a girl home in the middle of the night? I don't want others to misunderstand that I'm a casual person."

Lu Yanqi also looked at Lin Qing and lowered his voice: "Don't worry about this. I live alone now. My family lives somewhere else. Also, I know you are not a casual person."

If you were a casual person, you would have clung to my thighs long ago, why would I have to find ways to get close to you, Lu Yanqi thought.

"Um, will that disturb you too much?" Lin Qing was hesitating. He really wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep.

Lu Yanqi: “No.”

Lin Qing: "Then I'll think about it for 5 minutes."

Lu Yanqi curled his lips: "Okay."

Lin Qing struggled with his thoughts as he walked, wavering on whether to go or not.

Before she made a choice, she heard a commotion in front of her and someone yelled, "Stop running!"

There was a man running towards Lin Qing and the others in front, with four or five people chasing him from behind.

It was the middle of the night, and seeing those people getting closer and closer, Lin Qing was so scared that he didn't know what to do. He hurriedly stood by the roadside, and then reflexively pounced on Lu Yanqi behind him.

Lu Yanqi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He hugged Lin Qing tightly in his arms and turned around suddenly, cleverly avoiding the group of people chasing each other.

Lin Qing, who was still in shock, was still tightly grasping Lu Yanqi's coat with her head buried in his chest.

Why is she so unlucky? Last time she encountered a drunk hooligan, and this time she encountered a group fight. Fortunately, Lu Yanqi protected her both times.

Leaning in his arms, she felt very secure and at ease. This feeling was real and beautiful, and she was intoxicated by it.

Lu Yanqi knew that Lin Qing was quite frightened. Fortunately, he insisted on sending her here, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. He suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

His left hand, which was holding the computer bag, protected her waist, and his right hand stroked her hair at the back of her head.

"It's okay, they've run away."

Lu Yanqi didn't pull Lin Qing away, but let her lean quietly in his arms.

In fact, Lin Qing was no longer afraid. From the moment she hugged Lu Yanqi, she felt a full sense of security. At this moment, she was greedy and moved, and simply did not want to leave his arms.

After a long while, Lu Yanqi lowered his head, rested his chin on the top of Lin Qing's head, and then slowly moved to her ear, rubbed it gently twice, and made a low and mellow voice: "Come to my house tonight and stay for one night, ok?"
