My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Zhou Qizhen hung up the phone and looked up at Lu Xiaoqiao who was squatting on the ground in front of him.

Today she tied her hair into a low French ponytail with a black rubber band, and her soft hair fell naturally on both sides. The skirt she wore was more formal than yesterday, but it still looked good.

His eyes accidentally swept over the small part of the white and slender waist exposed due to squatting, and it was as if he had touched hot charcoal and bounced away instantly.

After a while, realizing that she was picking up broken glass on the ground, he quickly stood up and said softly, "Don't do that. Don't prick your hands. Someone will come and clean it up later."

"It's okay. I'll throw the big pieces in the trash first. I can't find a broom, otherwise I wouldn't have to bother housekeeping."

Seeing him about to come over, Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly tried to stop him, "Okay, I've fixed it. Mr. Zhou, please don't come over. Don't prick your foot again."

After Lu Xiaoqiao finished cleaning up, she made a cup of honey water and placed it on the table in front of Zhou Qizheng: "Mr. Zhou, does your stomach still hurt? Drink some honey water to sober you up first."

Zhou Qizheng took the cup and said, "Thank you! I feel much better now. You should sit down and rest."

"Oh well."

The two of them sat on the sofa, with enough space between them for two more people to sit. Even so, Zhou Qizhen could still smell the pleasant fragrance of her hair.

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't know what to talk about because of the awkwardness just now. She ignored the people around her and just lowered her head to send a message to Lin Lin asking her how long it would take for her to come back.

Zhou Qizhen prepared himself mentally for a long time, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Lu Xiaoqiao stand up from the sofa.

"Where are you going?" he asked quickly.

Lu Xiaoqiao pointed to the kitchen and said, "I'll go check on the porridge. It's almost done."

After hearing this, Zhou Qizhen didn't say anything, but he sighed in his heart, is it cooked so quickly?

When Lu Xiaoqiao was serving the porridge, Lin Lin and Li Yuxuan came back.

"Brother Li, the porridge is ready. If nothing else, I'll go back first."

Li Yuxuan had no reason to keep him any longer, so he could only reply, "Okay, thank you, Xiao Qiao."

"It's okay, Brother Li, you're too polite." Lu Xiaoqiao said to Zhou Qizheng, who was sitting there drinking porridge, "Mr. Zhou, you should rest well. Don't forget to take your medicine after drinking the porridge. Lin Lin and I will leave first."

"Well, you can take those fruits back and eat them." Zhou Qizhen said, pointing to the fruit platter that the hotel had just sent over.

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't hesitate to thank Lin Lin and left with the fruit.

After the two of them left, Li Yuxuan turned around with a playful expression on his face, staring at Zhou Qizhen who was drinking porridge.

"Does it taste good?"

Seeing that Zhou Qizheng ignored him, he continued, "How is it? Doesn't this porridge have a taste of love? It's more effective than your painkillers! Oh! What did you two talk about just now? Is there any progress?"

Zhou Qizheng glanced at him and said, "You talk too much."

"Is it not possible for me to even ask?"

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly."

Zhou Qi was chasing people away, but Li Yuxuan didn't care at all. He even said jokingly, "Hey, you're such a traitor! Okay, okay, I'll leave. It's like I'm going to steal your porridge."

……

into the night.

Zhou Qi was in a trance in his dream when he saw the figure that had been haunting him. The waist was as white as jade, incredibly slender, and the waist was so thin that it could be held in one hand. It seemed to attract his gaze so tightly that he couldn't move his eyes away at all, making him sink into it and unable to extricate himself. He wanted to be intoxicated in it forever and didn't want to wake up.

However, just as he was immersed in this warm moment, she disappeared from his arms without any warning!

"Don't leave."

Zhou Qi was awakened from his dream. He sat up suddenly, breathing heavily, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and the panic and reluctance from his dream still lingering in his eyes.

It took me a while to sit there before my breathing calmed down.

He slowly lifted the quilt and looked down, a trace of helplessness and self-mockery flashed across his face. He sighed deeply. In his 32 years of life, this was the first time he had experienced such a ridiculous situation.

He got up and went to the bathroom, turned on the shower head, and the warm water poured down, hitting his strong body, but it didn't seem to work. After coming out of the bathroom, he did another hundred push-ups and then took a cold shower to calm down his anger.

……

The next day.

The morning light shines through the gaps in the curtains and into the room.

Lin Lin and Zhao Jia had already gotten up, but Lu Xiaoqiao was still lazily lying in bed, with no intention of getting up at all.

"I can't even open my eyes. You two wait for me, I'll be up soon."

Lin Lin applied sunscreen to her face while urging, "Hurry up, Xiao Qiao! My uncle called and asked us to go upstairs for breakfast. There are a lot of dishes you'll like. Hurry up!"

Zhao Jia, without makeup, had already sat on a stool, waiting for the two of them. "What did you do yesterday? We slept together, why aren't you awake yet?"

Lu Xiaoqiao slowly crawled out of bed, her hair disheveled, and muttered, "Don't mention it. You two slept soundly, but I had to go to the bathroom seven times in one night. Seven times! It's all because I ate too much watermelon! I'll never eat watermelon at night again!"

Zhao Jia sat on a stool playing with her phone, not even looking up. "There's such a big fruit platter with more than ten kinds of fruit, but you chose watermelon. You should be happy that your eyes aren't swollen."

Lu Xiaoqiao dragged her heavy steps to the bathroom and gently turned on the faucet. She scooped up a handful of water with both hands and splashed it on her face without hesitation until the cool touch cleared her confused mind.

While she was rubbing the cleanser into her palms to create foam, she called out to Lin Lin outside, "Should we eat by ourselves, or with your uncle and the others?"

Lin Lin was carefully packing her makeup tools into her makeup bag. When she heard Lu Xiaoqiao's question, she replied without even looking up, "I don't know. Anyway, he just called me and told me to go there for breakfast after we get up."

Afraid that Lu Xiaoqiao would refuse, he then raised his head, looked towards the bathroom, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqiao, it's just breakfast, you don't have to be so polite. You even helped my uncle cook porridge yesterday."

After Lu Xiaoqiao had packed up, they took the elevator to the restaurant on the middle floor of the hotel building.

Arriving at the hotel's buffet breakfast area, although it was just breakfast, there was a wide variety of options. Bright and warm lights fell on the neatly arranged dining table.

Zhao Jia glanced around the hall and said, "It seems there are no empty seats! This time of year is the busiest."

"My uncle has reserved a seat for us at the innermost table. Let's go over there quickly."

The three of them came to the dining table where Zhou Qizhen was sitting and found that he was the only one sitting there.

"Good morning, Mr. Zhou. Why are you alone? Brother Li and Secretary Ding have finished their meal."

Zhou Qizheng raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao. Because of last night's dream, his face looked a little unnatural when he saw her at this moment. "Well, they're done eating."

Zhou Qizhen had already occupied a seat at the four-person table, so Lin Lin sat next to him. Zhao Jia chose the seat opposite Lin Lin, and Lu Xiaoqiao could only sit in the seat opposite Zhou Qizhen.

No one spoke at the dinner table. Lu Xiaoqiao lowered her head and ate the tea egg in her hand.

"Where are you going today?" Zhou Qizheng glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao, who was drinking porridge, and continued, "I'm not busy today. I'll arrange where you want to go."

After hearing what he said, Lu Xiaoqiao and Lin Lin exchanged a glance. Finally, Lin Lin said, "Uncle, you go ahead and do your thing. Let's go to the food court. It's so noisy there, I'm afraid you won't be used to it."

When Zhou Qizheng heard Lin Lin's words, he frowned and asked, "Why go to such a chaotic place?"

Lu Xiaoqiao quickly explained, "It's not a safety issue. Lin Lin said there are a lot of people there and she's worried you won't be used to it. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. Sister Jia and I will take good care of Lin Lin. There won't be any accidents."

Zhao Jia also echoed beside him: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, don't worry!"

Seeing that the three of them were in unison, it was obvious how much they didn't want him to follow and didn't want to affect everyone's interest. In the end, Zhou Qizhen said that he would assign them a driver and they gave up.

Knowing that he would not go with her, Lin Lin said happily, "Thank you, uncle."

Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia also thanked Zhou Qizhen.
