Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 115 Table Number

There have been many scientific and technological projects in Linzhou in the past half month, and Pei Yizhou has been very busy, so the two can only see each other when they go to and from get off work.

——Plus, Lin Lu hasn’t agreed to let him move to the master bedroom. They have been sleeping in separate rooms recently. The reason is that she needs some time to adapt. The most she can do is to allow him to wash and hang clothes in the master bedroom.

Lin Lu was prepared for him to lose his temper, but he didn't. Except for the increasing number of kisses, he was very calm in other aspects.

Until the five-day business trip was about to begin, Pei Yizhou was still frowning but couldn't suppress his inner irritation, so he tried to ask Lin Lu to take leave so that he could go with him.

Of course Lin Lu would not agree. Her internship at Ling Group had reached the most critical moment and it was a good opportunity to show her abilities. How could she ask for leave for such a reason?

Pei Yizhou did not get the desired result. The night before his departure, he washed up slowly in the master bedroom bathroom and was reluctant to leave.

It was May and the weather was getting hot. He came out after taking a shower wrapped in a bath towel. There were still water droplets hanging on his body, but he didn't care and just held up a towel to wipe his wet hair.

To be honest, Pei Yizhou has a very good figure. When he was drying her hair with his back to her, his broad shoulders made the inverted triangle particularly obvious. His back muscles were pulled and his arm muscles were slightly bulging, which was a very pleasing picture.

But there are prerequisites for a peacock to spread its feathers.

Lin Lu looked straight ahead, sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed, sorting out the memo on his cell phone.

The memo records what she is going to do tomorrow and her reflections on what happened before. She likes it this way, as it allows her 30,000 days of life to be traced in these words.

After doing all this, she raised her head and looked at Pei Yizhou, who had a calm expression.

"It's time to go back to bed. Aren't you leaving tomorrow morning?" She tried not to look below her neck.

Pei Yizhou was like an NPC on the stage, as if he had the qualification to perform only when he was being stared at by her. He was wandering around at a distance just now, but when he heard her ask, he walked closer to the bed, sat down beside her, and put his hand on her knee and stroked it gently.

"You really can't go with me? We can attend the banquet together and chat with people from other companies. It will definitely help your career development in Ling's." He asked.

Lin Lu was unmoved: "I have to go to work."

"But……"

"No buts. You'll be on business trips a lot. Do you want me to put down my work and go with you every time? If you're so reluctant, you can let Brother Jiayan be the boss, and you can stay at home to cook and pick me up."

Pei Yizhou really had the urge to agree, but he didn't dare to speak under Lin Lu's gaze.

He didn't dare to speak, and it was Lin Lu's turn to speak: "You've grown a few years older, but your brain hasn't gotten any better. You can't even tell the priorities. I think you should take some medicine again."

The Pei family couldn't explain what was wrong with them, they all seemed a little neurotic.

Just like Pei Juan was able to throw a child who had no ability to protect himself into the street in order to chase a man and question him. Some people look normal, but in fact they have serious problems.

Pei Yizhou didn't react when being scolded. He even tilted his head upwards to kiss Lin Lu's lower lip.

"Didn't you take the medicine away?" he said as he rubbed her nose lightly.

Lin Lu pushed him away: "Didn't you say you have insomnia? I passed by your room door in the middle of the night recently, but I didn't wake you up."

Pei Yizhou's focus was different: "Why are you coming to see me at the door of my room in the middle of the night?"

"Didn't you say that you often wake up in the middle of the night and have to stand in the living room and drink?"

Pei Yizhou chuckled and covered her cheeks and ears with kisses.

"You are too good at coaxing people."

Lin Lu: “?”

Did she coax anyone?
It doesn't make sense to communicate the worldview of birds with a four-legged animal that is obsessed with the swamp.

Lin Lu kicked him out, but still didn't allow him to stay in the host's bedroom.

But then went to lie on his side and helped him pack some luggage.

Pei Yizhou was reluctantly satisfied. He got up early the next day and made a bowl of noodles for Lin Lu. He then sent her to the company before rushing to the airport.

Ding Zitong and Xu Jiayan, who were waiting at the airport, were playing with their phones with their backs to each other, without any of the nervousness that Assistant Yuan was looking at. Assistant Yuan had been with Pei Yizhou for four or five years, and they always arrived two hours early when they were going out to do something. Now that Pei Yizhou hadn't shown up yet, Assistant Yuan was worried that he had been stuck in traffic or had run into trouble.

If I get stuck and miss this flight, I will have to reschedule the meeting when I land, which is a waste of time.

Xu Jiayan advised him twice: "Don't look around, he is homesick and won't show up before the appointed time."

When people showed up, Xu Jiayan and Ding Zitong put away their phones and picked up their luggage in one go, their movements as if they had rehearsed them.

When passing by Assistant Yuan, Xu Jiayan said, "Let's talk to him after the plane has been flying smoothly for half an hour. He must be in a bad mood now."

Assistant Yuan humbly asked, "Why?"

Ding Zitong: "When a dog at home wants to go for a walk with a leash in its mouth but is rejected, the dog will generally not be in a good mood."

Assistant Yuan: “…Ah?”

This analogy is not very good.

However, Pei Yizhou's expression was indeed gloomy. Using known metaphors, it seemed... the more I read it, the more I felt that Ding Zitong's words had a vivid meaning.

Assistant Yuan swallowed the words he was about to report and decided to listen to the advice of the two directors.

The plane took off smoothly and flew over the vast plains. It took three hours to reach the halfway point of the journey.

At this time, Lin Lu was already having lunch in the company cafeteria.

Time flies when I’m working, just like tearing off a calendar without any words on it. Before I have time to remember this day, the thin paper has been torn apart and thrown away.

That's the end of the day.

After get off work, the driver came to pick her up. Lin Lu didn't feel any difference at first. There were many pedestrians on the road. She lowered her head and replied to her colleagues' messages. She just felt that the world was overcrowded.

But when I returned home and faced the dark and cold home, I felt empty again in an instant.

It reminded her of the time when Pei Yizhou first went to college.

At that time, she was already used to having a brother at home who would come home at the same time as her, cook, eat, and wash dishes together, and occasionally go out for walks and play ball together.

But the age difference prevented the two from keeping pace with each other. During Pei Yizhou's first month in college, he only came back once at the end of the month.

Every day when she opened the door, she saw only an empty room. She called "brother" several times in the living room but no one answered before she realized that Pei Yizhou was not there.

The faucet in the bathroom was broken. The first thing she did was to shout "brother" loudly, and then she was stunned in the fountain-like water column, like a silly starling that was soaked through.

Finally, she pursed her lips and went to find tools to fix the faucet. She didn't send a message to Pei Yizhou to tell him what a great thing she had accomplished. Instead, she went back to her room and went to sleep in silence.

A bit like now.

Lin Lu put down her bag, took a walk around the kitchen, and since she didn’t want to cook, she simply went out to find food.

The area around Tanghu Mansion is what is rumored to be a wealthy area online. The places to eat around it are all high-end restaurants and time-honored brands.

As we walked, we arrived at the Window View Restaurant on the corner.

The wintersweets outside have long since faded, and now a row of pink and white sunflowers are blooming. The light colors are very beautiful.

She stood where she had stood before, poked the petals with her hand, and when she looked up she was facing table number three.

There sat an unexpected yet reasonable person.

The two people looked at each other through the window, but it was no longer the situation as before, one was confused and the other was uneasy.

After a moment, Lin Lu smiled and walked in.
