Through Thick and Thin

On a Saturday at the end of April, near the end of get off work time, Lu Chuiqing hummed a song and cleaned up his desk. A while ago, a new employee who helped coordinate work and research suddenly came over and called him Brother Lu.

Lu Chuiqing raised her head and said with a smile, "Huh? What's the matter?"

The junior scratched his hair shyly, and said, "It's okay, I just wanted to ask if you're free for a while? I've troubled you to take me with me for so long a while ago, and I wanted to treat you to a meal or a coffee or something. "

Lu Chuiqing paused, vaguely remembered that the junior in front of him seemed to be an Alpha, no matter what, he had to avoid suspicion, and replied: "It's my job to help you familiarize yourself with the work, so don't specially treat me to dinner, thank you, I got it."

The younger generation is obviously a bit disappointed, probably because they are more straightforward, and their social experience is relatively shallow, they don't know how to hide their emotions, and the hope and traces of admiration are clearly seen in their eyes.

The younger generation fought hard without giving up: "Brother Lu, I really feel sorry for not thanking you well, can you spare some time..."

Lu Chuiqing smiled apologetically, and reminded at the right time: "Actually, tomorrow is the first anniversary of my boyfriend and I, so I want to go back early today, sorry."

The junior's expression became depressed, obviously he had suffered a lot of blows, so Lu Chuiqing said that as long as he said goodbye, he turned and left.

Even if Lu Chuiqing didn't fall in love, he personally didn't like developing relationships between colleagues in the same department who looked up and down every day. What's more, he still preferred people who were more experienced and mature than himself.

These juniors will probably behave after a few reminders. Lu Chuiqing won't take it to heart. He didn't lie to that junior just now. Tomorrow is indeed the first anniversary of him and Xiao Zhan. This is the most important thing right now. thing.

Since graduating, Lu Chuiqing feels that time has passed much faster, and she has been dating Xiao Zhan for a year. In terms of relationship, Lu Chuiqing wants to take every step they have taken seriously.

When Lu Chuiqing came home, Xiao Zhan was looking at some work documents in the study. Recently, Xiao Zhan's company was very busy, and Lu Chuiqing would see him still working in the study when he came home from time to time.

It is already past eight o'clock at night, and I think I have been watching Xiao Zhan for a long time, and his face is rarely tired.Lu Chuiqing walked in lightly, and leaned forward to take a look. On the computer screen was probably a company's complicated contract items and report data. Even he, a researcher, felt a headache at a glance.

Lu Chuiqing leaned over Xiao Zhan's shoulder and said, "Take a rest."

In front of outsiders on weekdays, Xiao Zhan has always looked calm and at ease, but everyone will inevitably get tired from work.

People who deal with people in the workplace must not show too much fatigue, and always talking about tired words will not get others' understanding.Only in front of Lu Chuiqing and his close family, Xiao Zhan would not mind relaxing occasionally.

Xiao Zhan touched Lu Chuiqing's hair: "There are still a lot left."

Lu Chuiqing paused, and suggested enthusiastically: "Why don't you go to rest for a while, tell me what to check, and I'll help you look at it for a while."

Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his chair and looked up at him: "Are you sure?"

"...I have passed the CPA exam and have been a researcher for more than a year. Do you have some confidence in me?"

Xiao Zhan smiled in a low voice, briefly explained to Lu Chuiqing the items that need to be checked and the points to pay attention to, stood up, and kissed Lu Chuiqing's lips: "Then leave it to you."

Xiao Zhan said he would hand it over to Lu Chuiqing, and he didn't seem to have any plans to guide him personally, so he turned around and lay down casually on the sofa in the study, as if he was completely fine.

Lu Chuiqing sat down at the desk, continued to read the place that Xiao Zhan checked just now, and within 10 minutes, he began to feel that his brain was not enough.

This was probably handed over to Xiao Zhan for the final review after the staff of the company sorted out the materials. The things to be checked were cumbersome and complicated, much more complicated than what Lu Chuiqing came into contact with in his usual work.It is okay to say that it is a simple audit work, it mainly involves some details that can only be seen by people who are well versed in business rules. In this regard, Lu Chuiqing is basically a layman.

Lu Chuiqing watched with difficulty for another half an hour, feeling a little sad and distressed. Everyone envied the money earned by being a boss, but not everyone has the ability to earn that money.

Lu Chuiqing rubbed her eyes, stretched her waist, looked up at Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan sat on the sofa and looked at him leisurely, and said, "Don't you want to watch?"

Lu Chuiqing straightened her waist: "Look! Of course!"

As soon as the words were finished, the cat at home suddenly came in from the study door, and the nanny followed behind the child, seeming to want to take it away so that he would not disturb the boss's work, but Xiao Zhan said: "It's okay, I'll play with it for a while. "

The kid walked to the side of the sofa, Xiao Zhan patted his chest, and the kid immediately kicked his hind legs nimbly, jumped onto Xiao Zhan's chest, and lied on his body softly and coquettishly.

Lu Chuiqing looked a little greedy, calmed down and looked at it for a while, really couldn't help but want to suck the cat, finally stood up, walked over, buried her face on the fluffy back of the child and rubbed it.

Xiao Zhan said with a smile, "Don't watch it?"

Lu Chuiqing: "Take a break, my eyes hurt..."

The child was lying on Xiao Zhan's body, and Lu Chuiqing was lying on Xiao Zhan's body almost in the same posture. As soon as he was lying on his stomach, he remembered the matter of tomorrow and Xiao Zhan's first anniversary.

In fact, Lu Chuiqing had been thinking about what to prepare for the anniversary a week ago, but she couldn't think of something suitable after much deliberation.With his financial resources, he couldn't afford too high-end things, and he felt that ordinary things would be a bit cheap when paired with Xiao Zhan. In the end, he decided to cook a meal by himself tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuiqing raised her head and said, "Xiao Zhan, let the nanny rest tomorrow, and I will cook."

Xiao Zhan paused, and just when Lu Chuiqing felt a little lost and thought that Xiao Zhan had forgotten that tomorrow was their anniversary, he heard Xiao Zhan reply: "Actually, I also want to cook."

Lu Chuiqing was stunned for a moment, and finally lowered her head and smiled on the child's back. When she raised her head again, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes: "Then we will do it together."

"Anything you want to eat?"

"I can do it, but you, I can't cook those high-end dishes like foie gras... If you order food, you can only order it at home."

However, Lu Chuiqing and Xiao Zhan have lived together for two months, and most of the meals in Xiao Zhan's house are home-cooked. Lu Chuiqing is quite confident in his cooking skills, and he is not worried that it will not suit Xiao Zhan's appetite.

Lu Chuiqing: "Is that done at noon or at night?"

"It's noon." Xiao Zhan replied, "Go out to eat at night."

Lu Chuiqing nodded: "When you talk about food, I seem to want to eat late at night..."

"Auntie will do that."

Xiao Zhan lifted the child from his body to the carpet with one hand, as if getting ready.Lu Chuiqing sat up with him, and said, "Should I call now? It's been two hours since I finished dinner, so let's eat later."

Xiao Zhan stretched out his hand suddenly, and hugged Lu Chuiqing from the sofa. Lu Chuiqing didn't expect Xiao Zhan's appearance, and immediately hugged Xiao Zhan's neck: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Zhan: "Go to the bedroom."

Lu Chuiqing felt that he understood the meaning of Xiao Zhan's words. Was it because he heard that it was too early, so he planned to take him to do other things to "digest food"?

Clinging to Xiao Zhan's neck, Lu Chuiqing felt a little ashamed for her comprehension ability for a moment, and blushed silently thinking, maybe he was wrong.

Facts have proved that Lu Chuiqing's understanding is correct.

After the "digestion" was over, he was really hungry after exercising too much. He sat on the small sofa chair on the balcony of the bedroom and ate a whole bowl of noodles.

After eating, Lu Chuiqing wiped her mouth in satisfaction, put down the bowl, and said with some distress: "Auntie's cooking skills are really good, I'd better not eat supper next time, if I get used to it, I guess I'll grow up sideways .”

Until now, Lu Chuiqing still has lingering fears about her experience of gaining weight back then, not to mention living with Xiao Zhan now, the food is much better than when she lived alone, if she is not careful, she may be fattened by Xiao Zhan.

After supper, the two sat on the bed and watched a movie together. After the movie ended, it was past twelve o'clock. Lu Chuiqing yawned sleepily, and Xiao Zhan beside him turned his head slightly. Kissed the cheek lightly, and said slowly: "Happy first anniversary."

Lu Chuiqing's heart melted warmly, and she replied, "Well, happy first anniversary."

The next day, Lu Chuiqing thought that Xiao Zhan had just booked a restaurant for the evening outside, but after the two had dinner, Xiao Zhan took him directly to the hotel room.

Xiao Zhan probably contacted the hotel in advance. There are two exquisite ice cream cakes and a red wine ice bucket on the small table on the balcony of the guest room.

The two leaned against the glass railing of the balcony, watching the night view of the city from the upper floors of the hotel.After a few glasses of red wine, Lu Chuiqing felt a little tipsy. Probably because of Xiao Zhan's pheromone smell, he felt that he was becoming more and more sensitive to the smell of wine. The capacity for alcohol had indeed increased, but he was prone to getting drunk It seems that it is not the body, but the heart that is beginning to be overwhelmed by alcohol.

Having been with Xiao Zhan for a whole year, Lu Chuiqing will realize every day that every shining point in Xiao Zhan's body is the goal of his efforts, and besides that, there is also another side of him that other people don't know. All will exude more charm as time goes by.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhan." Lu Chuiqing turned her head and looked at Xiao Zhan intently, her eyes shimmering, "I'm really not a very proactive person emotionally, fortunately I didn't miss you."

Xiao Zhan put down his wine glass and opened his arms towards Lu Chuiqing. Lu Chuiqing also put down his wine glass, took a small step forward, buried himself in Xiao Zhan's arms, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The warm body of the person in his arms made Xiao Zhan's usually calm eyes a little more sentimental, which is rare.

When he first met Lu Chuiqing, his first impression was that he was very smart and had his own ideas.

Later, either when he took the initiative to pay attention or met by chance, Xiao Zhan felt more and more that Lu Chuiqing was indeed a very good and motivated person, neither arrogant nor impatient.

Perhaps it was because of something that Lu Chuiqing had experienced before. At the beginning, Lu Chuiqing always showed some unscrupulous inferiority complex when facing him. After getting in touch with him a lot, his words and deeds were full of cuteness and shyness that caught people's hearts.When staying with Lu Chuiqing, Xiao Zhan's mood is often better than when staying with anyone.

To put it simply, Xiao Zhan liked these qualities and personalities of Lu Chuiqing very much, and they became more and more fond of Lu Chuiqing as they got along; Xiao Zhan had already firmly loved Lu Chuiqing.

Due to his personality, Xiao Zhan would not intentionally confess these words verbally. The two of them are now pursuing their careers, and they usually don't talk about love affairs.

But at this moment, on this day, Xiao Zhan is embracing Lu Chuiqing, and he is willing to say it in the simplest words: "I love you too."

Probably thinking of the past when he lost himself in his relationship and life, Lu Chuiqing's eyes couldn't help turning red. He hugged Xiao Zhan tightly, and felt that he was not one of those young people who loved you and me all day long. It seemed a little embarrassing to shed tears because of a sentence, and secretly reached out behind Xiao Zhan's back to wipe his eyes.

Fortunately, this time, he found himself and met him.
