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

Chapter 20 Good Brother
In his sleep, Lin Lu felt his hot face touching something cool. He couldn't help but rub it, and then fell into a deep sleep more comfortably.

Pei Yizhou's palm supported her face, turning it from facing the sofa to facing him. His other hand gently stroked her red and hot cheek, and he slowly and carefully kissed her on the face.

It has been almost a month since he came back, and including the past seven years, he hasn't kissed his lover for a long, long time.

A warm and real forest.

The kiss slowly moved from the cheek to the eyelids and forehead. He placed kisses one after another lovingly and cherishingly, and finally moved to the lips.

Lin Lu had fallen asleep and would not respond, so he did not dare to make too much noise to wake her up. But perhaps he actually wanted to just throw the jar into the air and let her find out, so besides being cautious, for a moment he could not help but want to bite her awake, or do something to wake her up.

But he was now a coward who could not afford the opportunity cost. When he found that Lin Lu was feeling a little uncomfortable, he hurriedly let go and looked at her slightly twisted eyebrows and slightly moving mouth corners with a serious gaze, not knowing whether he was more panicked or expectant.

Lin Lu didn't wake up.

Pei Yizhou was like an experienced thief who kissed her more deeply this time. He skillfully took her hand and placed it on his body, caressing her from the collar of her white shirt to her chest.

The city lights outside the floor-to-ceiling window went out one by one, the dining lights were also turned off, and the room became increasingly darker. Only with the help of a tiny bit of blurry light could one see Pei Yizhou tilting his head back and breathing rapidly from time to time. The line from his jaw to his neck was taut, and the rise and fall of his chest was visible to the naked eye when he gasped.

At half past eleven, Pei Yizhou cleaned up as usual, carried Lin Lu back to the room, wiped her face and feet, stripped off her clothes and stuffed her into the quilt, then sat by the bed and looked at her.

The wine he drank at dinner seemed to have some effect. He was now overwhelmed by inexplicable anxiety and the urge to tell everything and live the loving life of lovers again. He didn't want to be a brother or sister, a boss or an employee anymore. After tasting the sweetness of that night, it would be difficult for him to return to the state of a good brother after daybreak.

-

The next day at work, Lin Lu was almost late.

After arriving at the office, he was yawning while turning on the computer, but his face did not show the fatigue from staying up late and wasting his energy. Instead, one could see from his eyes that he was full of energy.

Office Director Sister Chen took out some fruit and distributed it to everyone. When it came to Lin Lu, she saw that her lips were red and unusual, so she asked her, "What did you eat that made you so irritated?"

Because everyone knows that she either goes to work every day or is urged to go home by her boss, so it is impossible for her to have a boyfriend.

Lin Lu touched the corner of his mouth, thinking about the delicious food from last night: "Spicy scallop meat, it's a bit spicy, but it's really delicious, and paired with some beer, hiss, delicious."

Sister Chen and the others were drooling after hearing this: "Is it really that delicious? Which restaurant is it from? I want to go there to eat tonight too."

She paused and said, "I didn't eat it at a restaurant. My brother cooked it. But if I look around, I should be able to find a restaurant that cooks this dish."

The office was quiet for a few seconds, then everyone stepped out of their office chairs and gathered around, asking for details in surprise.

"Boss Pei can also cook home-cooked meals?"

"I thought he could only make vegetable salads, boiled chicken breasts, etc. When a group of leaders went out to eat, the dishes they ordered were generally light, with most being seafood and very little Chinese food."

"Like Director Xu, every time he comes back from a big meal, he asks the canteen to introduce low-calorie fat-reducing meals and low-uric acid healthy diets. He says he cooks the same thing when he goes home."

"It's hard to imagine that Mr. Pei poured all kinds of thick sauces into the pot, then fried it at high temperature, and a burst of spicy smell hit him... He is actually a good brother who can cook."

Lin Lu was not sure about the first sentence, but she nodded affirmatively and said, "He is indeed a super good brother." Then a super good brother called her to his office via an internal phone call.

"This is the attendance summary sheet for each department submitted by the Human Resources Department. Take a look."

The first time Lin Lu heard him talk to her about work was in the boss' office, which was naturally intimidating. Her brother had turned into a capitalist who would point out her mistakes at any time. The tip of her shoes rubbed against the carpet, and she felt a little nervous when she walked forward to look at the attendance sheet on the computer.

She didn't sit down either. She bent down, found her name on the computer interface, and looked at the attendance record.

"Um... did I get off work too early?" She asked hesitantly, eyes wide open.

On the attendance sheet, she was the only one who always left work as soon as possible, and she was the only one who only came to work fifteen minutes before the scheduled time and never came early. Her name was marked in color.

Pei Yizhou saw that she was only hesitant but not guilty, so he said, "It's okay to leave work on time, as long as you don't feel the need to work overtime."

"That's really not necessary," Lin Lu answered quickly and seriously, "I know I'm just an extra person in the general manager's office. Sister Chen and the others had a clear division of labor before. After I came in, I just took over some of their original tasks. There weren't many things to do. After learning how to use various office software and OA processes, my efficiency improved. I was free around four in the afternoon and just had to wait until the end of the day."

After that, she asked, "Did someone report me? I helped everyone share the work in the general manager's office. Their salaries haven't changed, and I've tried my best to maintain a good relationship with them. As long as they're not stupid, they won't do such a thing. The HR department? That's not right. I took the initiative to help. The marketing department would definitely not do that. Their working hours are not fixed, so they don't have time to check whether I'm on time or not."

Pei Yizhou watched her analyze it like this, a little dazed, his eyes lingering on her lips.

"So what's going on, brother?" Lin Lu waved in front of him, unhappy with his distraction.

Pei Yizhou turned the computer back and said, "Some people said in the employee relations interview that they envy people like you who never work overtime. Every feedback from employees must be addressed in a timely manner, so the HR department specially marked it for me to check. Don't worry, this is not your problem. What's more, I want you to see the final position - after this form is passed, the salary will be paid in the afternoon."

In fact, even if it was about salary, there was no need to ask her to come, but he wanted to see her.

Lin Lu's eyes lit up.

Yes, this is the second natural month and it’s time to pay salaries.

"Do you remember what you promised when you said you wanted to go out to work?" Pei Yizhou asked.

Lin Lu's eyes almost turned into gold coin patterns, and he waved his hands: "I know, you use your salary to support my good brother."

She excitedly began to allocate where to spend her salary: "Buy vegetables for the family, there are plenty of tomatoes. Buy a souvenir for myself, and a gift for my brother and my boss."

"So what gift does Assistant Lin plan to buy me?"

"Well, clothes. People say that it's best for your family to buy you a suit for your first day at work. I used to think that when I make money in the future, I would buy you a suit first, so that you will definitely have a good luck when you go out to find a job. But you have so many clothes now..."

"But I'm still missing the suit you bought me," Pei Yizhou leaned back in his chair with a genuine happy smile on his face, "Let's go shopping for suits together after get off work? Then take my salary and go shopping in the mall."

Lin Lu was surprised and said, "Brother, you are such a good brother!"
