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

Chapter 16 How do you know I don’t like apples?
Lin Lu was distracted the whole afternoon.

This is rare.

The current working hours and saturation are not difficult for her to accept. She is the one who can leave work on time the most in the company, and her boss can't run faster than her. The fixed working hours and not difficult work content keep her happy every day, and everyone who sees her can't help but laugh with her.

So other people in the office found it strange when they saw her distracted.

"Xiao Lin, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" asked Sister Liu, the project assistant next door.

Lin Lu came back to his senses, shook his head and said no, then lowered his head and continued to organize the documents on the table.

But she had something on her mind, and her movements became slower and slower. She looked up hesitantly, wanting to ask them about Pei Yizhou's girlfriend, who he almost got married to.

The general manager's office knows 80 percent of all the gossip in the company, not to mention that there is someone in it who is specifically in charge of the single employees' association. If the boss has any emotional developments or romantic scandals, it would be right to ask them.

But he opened and closed his mouth two or three times, but still didn't ask.

She is Pei Yizhou's sister and the person who should know most about Pei Yizhou's love life. If she has to ask others, how should she answer when people in the office ask her why she doesn't know? Say that she has traveled through time for nine years inexplicably and therefore has no idea?

Moreover, she had been in the company for half a month, and had never heard anyone talk about Pei Yizhou's love story. The only thing she had heard about was this, and all she knew were some half-truths... It should be that Pei Yizhou kept it a secret and didn't like to mention those things.

Why not mention it? If you have someone you like, no one can hide it for so long without being noticed. Love is as hard to hide as a sneeze.

Then there is only one possibility, this matter is not going well, maybe it is really like what the middle-aged man said, something happened to the other party.

It's so pitiful for her brother. His sister disappeared. They finally fell in love but they are separated by the Yin and Yang. Nine years is really too long. Now she can believe someone who told her that Pei Yizhou had two sons and daughters in elementary school in recent years.

Alas, what a sin.

Her dazed state only lasted until the end of the get off work day. At six o'clock, she became a fluttering butterfly again, picked up her bag and ran away quickly. At this time, Pei Yizhou's reception task had not even been completed.

Lin Lu was eager to get off work in order to go to the supermarket for some shopping. After learning about her brother's tragic love life, she planned to make dinner to comfort him in a tactful way.

However, she did not go to the supermarket near her home, but took a detour to the boulevard. According to the information she had found, Duan Chengyu's company was here, and his residence seemed to be nearby as well, so there might be a chance for her to run into him.

She loves shopping now. She pushes the shopping cart straight into the supermarket, supporting the cart with her arms and putting the weight of her upper body on the cart. Her plush hat shakes when she passes by indoor speed bumps.

Like a rabbit leaning over and pushing off the ground to speed up.

Duan Chengyu came out of the daily necessities area and saw her at first sight.

Although the back figure did not stand out from the crowd, he just felt that it looked familiar.

He had many experiences of being encountered by ladies by chance, and he really disliked this kind of clumsy drama. However, it was usually a situation where they met at a corner of two shelf areas. He had never met anyone who rushed directly to the fresh food area after entering the supermarket.

Duan Chengyu put the selected items into the cart and followed slowly.

Lin Lu had just bought a pound of live shrimp and was selecting chestnuts in the vegetable section. There was only an old man with her, who was very skilled at picking. She didn't know how to choose, so she could only glance at them, then glance again, then pretend to pinch a few chestnuts here and there, hold them up to her ears and shake them, and finally randomly pick a few and put them in her pocket. After picking about ten, she suddenly heard a chuckle behind her.

Lin Lu paused, turned around and saw Duan Chengyu looking at her leisurely, his suit unbuttoned, his tall posture looking somewhat casual.

"It seems that Miss Lin is an expert at picking chestnuts. I want to buy some too. Can you help me pick some?" he asked jokingly.

"No problem," Lin Lu pretended to be calm and continued to pinch a chestnut and shook it, "What a coincidence, Mr. Duan, you are here to shop at the supermarket too. Have you investigated what I told you that day? Did you have any dreams?"

"It's quite a coincidence. I found out that Miss Lin works on San Street and lives on Jingning Road. How could she come to this supermarket to buy things? This place is not close to your company or home."

"Half of the reason is because I ran into you by chance," she said without hiding anything. She was still pinching a chestnut between her fingers, but her mind was on the conversation. "I thought about it and decided to ask you for confirmation again. It's impossible for me to keep dreaming about you for no reason."

Duan Chengyu laughed again. The words she said and the expressions she made were clearly not funny, but in the only two times they met, his mood changed when he saw this face.

"Ms. Lin, are you over 20? If you were a few years older, I would probably think this was a flirting tactic. Using the excuse of dreaming about me as an excuse to approach me again and again is something that only exists in science fiction movies. It's not very practical."

After the last time, Lin Lu was mentally prepared to be the only one who remembered the bizarre dream. He did not show his disappointment anymore, but just sighed: "But I really dreamed about you."

She put the selected chestnuts into the shopping bag and said seriously again: "If I hadn't dreamed of you, I wouldn't know your name. I came to find you because I only found you named Duan Chengyu. Before this, I didn't know whether the real Duan Chengyu was tall or short, good-looking or ugly, so there is no such thing as falling in love with you in advance and flirting with you. Although you are indeed very good-looking."

Duan Chengyu raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when a shopping cart came diagonally from the aisle and a half-grown child bumped into her as if the cart couldn't be stopped. Duan Chengyu quickly pulled Lin Lu and the two took a few steps back to avoid it.

They retreated to the fruit area. Lin Lu didn't notice where the child rushed to. He just felt that he was too close to Duan Chengyu. The unfamiliar smell on his body lingered on the back of his neck like a layer of smoke.

Her arm being held was not used to it, so she subconsciously struggled to break free, but her strength was a little too great and the cart didn't have time to turn flexibly, so it hit the fruit display stand, knocking down a bunch of oranges and apples.

The apple rolled and rolled until it landed at the feet of two supermarket salesmen. When they picked it up, they found that it was bruised.

"..." She scratched her eyebrows, squatted down and picked up another apple, "I'll buy it and eat it myself."

Duan Chengyu also squatted down to pick it up, and holding the apple, he blurted out something: "You take the orange, and give me the apple. If you don't like it, don't force me."

Lin Lu paused and turned to look at him.

"How do you know I don't like apples?"

Yeah, how did he know she didn't like apples?

The two looked at each other in the shadow of the display stand, one slowly frowned, puzzled by his own behavior, while the other's eyes sparkled with a hint of anticipation, with both hands on the same apple.

The child's mother, who came to apologize, looked at them, but didn't say the word "I'm sorry". She turned a corner hesitantly, thinking that she had disturbed the passionate love between a couple.
