mandatory agreement

"I'll put you on this recliner, okay?" Zhou Xing asked warmly.

"Okay." Lu Zheng rubbed his chin on Xia Zhouxing's back, and was satisfied to see him stiffen for a moment.

Lu Zheng was put on a soft recliner, and Zhou Xing helped him stretch out the blanket and covered it on his knees.

"I should go." Zhou Xing said with a little embarrassment.

"It's not just coming up, let's bask in the sun for a while, you should lie down too."

— But you seem to be seducing me.

Zhou Xing slandered, after all, he couldn't bear to put people here like this, and he also wondered if he was thinking too much - Mr. Lu didn't look like someone who would be interested in him.

He sat upright on the recliner, waiting for Lu Zheng to talk to him, but he didn't expect that the other party quickly closed his eyes, and his breathing became long and steady.

Zhou Xing sat for a while, quietly looked at the layout of the greenhouse, quietly picked up the watering can filled with water and watered the flowers for a while, then quietly lay back on the chair, raised the blanket under the warm sunlight—he He just fell asleep like that.

Not long after Zhou Xing fell asleep, Lu Zheng opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, without the slightest bit of confusion when he woke up.

He rubbed the wristband and entered a series of instructions. The recliner under Zhou Xing stretched out a mechanical arm, holding a small needle, quickly pricked Zhou Xing's finger, and then retracted.

——"Sampling succeeded."

Lu Zheng turned off the notification on the bracelet, stood up slowly, walked into the depths of the greenhouse, cut out some white hyacinths with scissors, and wrapped them with colored paper himself.

The mechanical arm quietly handed over a gift bag. Lu Zheng held the flower in his left hand and the gift bag in his right, and went to find Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing hadn't slept so deeply for a long time, and there were no scenes that made him try to escape in the dream, but there was a faint fragrance of flowers.

He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was white petals.

"The flowers are so beautiful." Zhou Xing blurted out.

"Is it beautiful? I'll give it to you."

Lu Zheng casually threw the bouquet on Zhou Xing's body. He found a hairpin from somewhere, and brushed the broken hair from his forehead behind his ears, revealing his snow-white forehead with a little sweat oozing from it.

"I can't take your flowers." Zhou Xing caught them reflexively, but put them by his side decisively.

"This flower has been cut, and it only has a viewing period of a few days. I gave it to you to let you watch it."

"I can't, I have a man..."

"Throw it away if you don't like it," Lu Zheng easily interrupted him, "It's just a bunch of flowers."

Zhou Xing looked away in a little embarrassment, and insisted, "I can't accept it."

"If you can't accept it, you can't accept it. Why do you look like you're being bullied?"

Lu Zheng stretched out his hand, Zhou Xing hesitated for a moment, and passed the bouquet over. Lu Zheng took the flowers and put them aside casually.

"I have another gift, do you want it?"

"...what is it?"

"It's a doll, the kind of doll given by friends."

Lu Zheng handed over the gift bag, but Zhou Xing didn't pick it up. He asked, "Is this expensive?"

"It's not expensive, it's only a few hundred yuan. You can give me a gift in return after you receive it." Lu Zheng handed it forward again, "You don't want my flowers anymore, so you can't even want a gift."

"I suspect there is something wrong with your logic," Zhou Xing stretched out his hands to hold the gift bag, "but thank you for giving me the gift."

"You're welcome." Lu Zheng yawned a little, "I'm sleepy, you go, I won't keep you for dinner."

"You are too straightforward."

"I thought you liked straightforward people?"

Zhou Xing stopped talking, he said "thank you" solemnly, turned and left.

Lu Zheng watched him leave, and threw the bunch of hyacinths into the trash can.

He draped the blanket over his shoulders, walked slowly towards the downward stairs, pushed open the door, but stopped - Zhou Xing stood on the steps, with his hands still raised, looking as if he was about to push the door.

"Why are you back? Did you leave something behind?" Lu Zheng asked gently.

Zhou Xing pursed his lower lip awkwardly, and said, "I'll carry you down."

"I'm alone, I can walk slowly." Lu Zheng couldn't help laughing.

"I'll carry you down." Zhou Xing said again, he turned around and bent down, "Come up."

"Thank you." Lu Zheng no longer refused, and directly hung himself on Zhou Xing's back.

The two walked in silence for a while.

Lu Zheng leaned into Zhou Xing's ear and asked, "What is the conflict between you and your boyfriend?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Zhou Xing responded stiffly, and even quickened his pace.

"Well, if you feel sad, you are welcome to chat with me at any time."

Zhou Xing didn't reply to these words at all, he thought he was crazy to walk halfway, worried that Lu Zheng couldn't get down alone, so he turned back to carry him.

He carried Lu Zheng to the first floor, put him on the sofa, wiped off his sweat, and said, "I'm really leaving this time."

"Can you have dinner with me?" Lu Zheng leaned on the sofa.

"I have to go now."

"Have dinner with me, I don't know how to wear a mask, don't you wonder what I look like?"

"I'm curious," Zhou Xing said honestly, "but I shouldn't stay."

"Okay, you take the gift I gave you, did you put it on the shelf over there?"

"Yes, you pay attention to your body, I'm leaving."

Zhou Xing didn't say goodbye, neither did Lu Zheng. He heard the gate open and close, and waited for 10 minutes, convinced that Zhou Xing had really left.

"Sarah—"

"Yes, sir."

"Go and pick up my flowers."

"You threw the trash can."

"Pick it up, wash it, and put it in a vase."

"Okay, sir."

"By the way, how is Wei Ze's progress?"

"His family has agreed."
