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

Chapter 23 Goodnight Kiss

Lin Lu never thought that one day he would be lectured for "not spending his brother's money".

Pei Yizhou educated him all the way from the underground garage to the doorstep of his home. He thought that although she said that brothers and sisters were the best in the world, she was actually very distant and did not really integrate into the family and treat him as a family member - because she refused to use his money.

Lin Lu felt that he had too much money and it was both taxing on his money and his brain. Perhaps the logic of rich people had gradually become distorted.

But she was still very happy that she could get a car and a house in exchange for a set of clothes by "taking a loan", instantly realizing her long-cherished wish. Lying in bed at night, she excitedly changed the name of her social account.

【Brother earns 5 million per month】

Life was very kind to her. She didn't have to go through many years of difficult entrepreneurial history. She could just jump to nine years later and enjoy her life immediately.

She was holding the cell phone and chatting with Ding Zitong about the origin of the name. When Pei Yizhou came in to "check on the ward", she reacted quickly, stuffed the cell phone into the quilt, closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

But unfortunately, he was a step too late. Pei Yizhou knocked on the door and said with a smile: "Don't pretend. I can hear your laughter at the door."

Lin Lu: “…” He opened one eye and silently took out his cell phone.

"You are so old, and you still play with your phone secretly."

"I'm only eighteen."

Pei Yizhou paused, then said, "Yes, you are still young."

He placed the cup of water on the bedside table and habitually adjusted the corner of the quilt next to her neck: "Remember to get up and drink water if you are thirsty, otherwise you will say tomorrow morning that your throat is smoking from being bombarded."

After being bombarded with such outrageous statements, even the person who spread the rumors couldn't help laughing. As he laughed, the corner of the quilt beside his shoulders and neck was pushed up to create a small gap, allowing wind to get in.

Pei Yizhou pressed her again and asked as usual: "Are your feet still cold?"

"It won't be cold any more. The air conditioner is turned up so high that even a Siberian can feel warm."

"Then why can't you, who lives at No. 18 Jing'an Road, warm up? What about your hands? You're holding your phone and playing with it, but aren't your hands cold? What are you playing?"

Lin Lu swept her cold fingertips across the back of his hand, then pulled herself back in and wrapped herself up like a silkworm cocoon: "It's not that cold. There are so many things to play with on the phone, and I can scroll through them until midnight."

Pei Yizhou felt the coldness on the back of his hand, frowned and said, "It's so cold, put your phone aside, or I'll come back in the middle of the night."

"..." She regretfully gave up her phone, and lay down straight, covered by the thick quilt with only her head sticking out. She closed her eyes and urged him to leave, "I'll fall asleep soon, brother, go ahead. I promise that as soon as you leave, I'll start the sleep countdown."

Pei Yizhou, on the contrary, sat down beside the bed and gently stroked her forehead to her hair.

After a moment, Lin Lu could hardly hold back from opening her eyes again, and suddenly she felt warm breath approaching. She subconsciously held her breath, her heartbeat beating against her eardrums.

Then his soft lips pressed against her forehead.

Pei Yizhou didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this behavior. They both knew that she was just pretending to sleep, but he really thought she wouldn't open her eyes. After the kiss, he said to himself: "Sleep well, good night."

After the door was closed again, Lin Lu opened his eyes as if he had just emerged from the dead and took deep breaths.

Before I had time to think about it, the phone rang.

Ding Zitong: [Where are the people? ]

She picked up her phone and crawled into bed to reply: [I’m here, my brother just came to check on me.]

Ding Zitong: [……]

Ding Zitong: [Reposted from xxx "Excessive interference in children's lives will only lead to misfortune for the family"]

Ding Zitong: [Forward this to your brother.]

【You can transfer it yourself. 】

Ding Zitong: [“A child’s silent tolerance is actually an indulgence of the “perpetrator””]

Ding Zitong: [Let me show you this.] […Actually it’s okay. I know he’s just worried that I’ll disappear again for no apparent reason.]

Ding Zitong: [You are really patient with your brother. ]

Although she felt that her brother had become strange, she still tolerated him, hiding her fear and strangeness, and tried to reassure Pei Yizhou. It was hard to say who was the superior in this family relationship.

But it is very obvious in love. Ding Zitong thought that Pei Yizhou could enter Lin Lu's room under the pretext of checking his sister's room, and she felt that he deserved it out of sympathy.

She had just got home from get off work and was cooking herself some beef rice, thinking that this conversation would probably end here - in fact, Lin Lu rarely contacted her after he came back. After all, one of them was still 18 years old and had just graduated from high school in her memory, while the other had been a corporate slave for many years. Apart from reminiscing about the past, the two did not have much to talk about, and the past that could be discussed could not be explained clearly due to many reasons.

As a result, the beef rice was not ready yet, and Lin Lu seemed to be very confused and kept "typing", and finally secretly sent a question.

[Did my brother go abroad and receive education from a Western gentleman father? He came to check on me and gave me a goodnight kiss]

Ding Zitong: …

What can I say? This was definitely something Pei Yizhou had planned for a long time.

Ding Zitong: [Well, just like you said, he is just very worried about you, too worried, and wants to treat you as a little sister who needs to be taken care of...right?]

Lin Lu: [Yes, that’s the reason.]

Ding Zitong: [Yes, yes, that’s the reason.]

Putting down their phones, both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. If they continued talking, Pei Yizhou would become a pervert.

-

As the end of the year approaches, the weather is getting colder and colder. A gust of wind can easily blow away the warmth that you have worked so hard to build up.

It's another Monday.

The project in cooperation with the government has entered the second phase. The design department has come up with a plan and a feasibility report. Both parties need to meet again to discuss the optimization of project details and the quotation.

The meeting lasted for three days, and since there were two other foreign clients who also needed to be entertained in the company at the same time, Xu Jiayan and his colleagues were so busy that they even yawned while eating.

The meeting is almost over, and the internal staff of the company still need to discuss it together again. This meeting will be held on the third floor of the research center.

Xu Jiayan yawned like an alien landing on Earth, his mouth opened so wide that his face skin could hardly hold it together.

"Can this meeting end quickly, boss? I'm going to go home and catch up on my sleep."

Ding Zitong turned a deaf ear to his nonsense, holding a tablet that was always ready to read parameters, and said to Pei Yizhou:

"Today, the Turkish customer came to visit the testing department and said, 'Your boss is not as urgent as before. Antarctica can wait for him, but earthquakes won't wait for us.' He asked us to install the system as soon as possible to complete this business."

The person who disappeared in Antarctica has returned, and his fighting spirit has indeed been largely relieved.

Pei Yizhou nodded calmly, wrote something on the paper, and then looked at Xu Jiayan.

Xu Jiayan spread his hands: "It's still a problem of information asymmetry. We do have some points in our exploration of Antarctica that they don't know, but this is overseas cooperation. We don't know about their previous overseas cooperation, nor are we familiar with their commonly used systems. It is difficult to come up with a more targeted plan immediately. Unless we ask them to cooperate at any time, or find a reliable third party..."

Speaking of third-party information consulting companies, Xu Jiayan suddenly thought of someone.

"Hey, the Duan Chengyu you asked me to check out before is in offshore outsourcing business, which is perfect for me. I asked Lulu to bring you some news that day, you should still remember? It's a perfect match for my major."

The pen drew an abrupt line on the white paper, making a harsh sound. Pei Yizhou raised his head, his expression flickering.

"When did you ask her to bring me news?"

　Oh no, Lin Lulu, you are exposed!

　　A character named Pei is about to transform into a prehistoric acid-spewing dragon—report from a CC Jiufang TV reporter.
