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

Chapter 77 Visit
Lin Lu had been in a coma for a day and two nights. If her breathing had not been steady and her heartbeat normal, Pei Yizhou would have sent her to the hospital for emergency treatment.

It was morning when she woke up, she opened her eyes and for a moment she couldn't tell where she was.

The feeling of lightheadedness, coldness and stiffness that had plagued her for so long was like a layer of dust being blown away. She felt fully revived, felt the light, and subconsciously turned her head to look out the window.

Unfortunately, this is no longer the old building of China Railway 18th Bureau. The shade of trees and birds outside the window have been replaced by the solemnity of high-rise buildings.

Then she regained her senses and noticed the breathing of another person beside her.

Turning my head, I was looking at Pei Yizhou's chin. He was asleep, and his long and dense eyelashes cast two shadows under his eyelids, making the dark circles under his eyes look even darker.

His beard was clean-shaven, and he looked fresh and handsome, not too haggard.

Lin Lu got out of bed quietly, holding her breath and paying attention to whether Pei Yizhou woke up or not.

If his eyelids fluttered once, she would stop and wait warily.

——She never thought that she would really accept falling asleep in his arms so easily. If they looked into each other's eyes now, she would be really embarrassed.

Fortunately, Pei Yizhou was sleeping soundly and was not woken up. She was able to get out of bed smoothly and slip out of the room like a thief.

Pei Yizhou opened his eyes only after there was no sound in the room. His eyes were clear and he had no sleepiness at all.

Lin Lu went to his side and washed up briefly, then went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

She was so hungry that she ate three lutein gummies in one go.

With candy in her mouth, she opened her phone to check the time.

More than a day has passed.

Unread messages and missed calls popped up one after another, shocking her.

She had very few contacts after she traveled back in time. If Pei Yizhou and Ding Zitong didn't contact her, no one would send her a message for a week.

Now, she counted the dialog boxes with red dots. Duan Chengyu had sent her nearly ten messages and called her three or four times.

Ding Zitong and Xu Jiayan also sent messages to ask if she was feeling better.

There are also Lan Jia, Wu Sihan, and a few classmates who joined us a while ago.

In addition, there was a stranger with the note Fang Jun who was adding her as a friend. This was a prompt that just popped up.

She opened the dialog box with Duan Chengyu and started reading from the first message from the night before.

Duan Chengyu first asked her if she was free, and wanted to meet her for dinner to talk about her latest dream.

Then, when he still hadn't received a response until yesterday, he called twice.

No one answered the phone, so he asked in the message whether her personal freedom was being controlled.

Still no response, he called again.

The latest news was from yesterday afternoon, when Duan Chengyu asked her if she was sick.

She replied to report that she was fine: [I was sick. But I am fine now. Thank you for your concern.]

Duan Chengyu seemed to be staring at his phone. A few seconds after the message was sent, he called.

Lin Lu quickly pressed the mute button and found that the phone was set to do not disturb.

But she was worried that the noise would wake up Pei Yizhou in the room, so she closed the kitchen door and lowered her voice.

"Hey?"

"Are you really sick? What happened?" Duan Chengyu's voice was also soft, as if he didn't want to disturb her.

"Well, it's the aftereffects of coming back from Antarctica," she said briefly.

Duan Chengyu insisted on asking, "What sequelae? I went to your house yesterday afternoon to look for you. Your brother came out with a gloomy face and said you were still asleep. The noises of me knocking on the door and asking questions must have been very loud. Didn't you notice it? It wasn't just a simple sleep?"

While caring about her, he can also imply something to Pei Yizhou, really...

Lin Lu hesitated for a second, and said seriously: "The sequelae is that my body is cold, like a popsicle. I wore it for a few months and finally got my period. I was so cold that I fell asleep for a day and a night." No matter who it is or what tricks they use, her way of responding is to be sincere.

She didn't want to let their relationship become a fig leaf that could be pulled one way and then unstoppable the other.

Duan Chengyu seemed stunned for a moment, then he said in a gentle tone, "How are you now? The restaurant where we first met has a chef who can cook medicinal food, which is said to be very useful. Do you want to eat some snacks? I'll bring them along."

Lin Lu was also stunned, and then quickly refused: "No, I'm fine now. If the medicinal food is useful, I can order takeout."

"That restaurant doesn't accept takeout," Duan Chengyu said in a gentle and steady tone, "Is your brother still at your house? It's okay, I can just say a few words and leave. And if you don't want to be in the same room with him, I can help you take him away."

“……”That scene should have taken her life away.

She swallowed the candy and said again, "Really, no need. My brother has been pretty normal lately, and he will leave after taking care of me."

This statement is extremely unreliable to those who have not spent day and night with Pei Yizhou.

Duan Chengyu sighed: "Lulu, I just want to confirm with my own eyes whether you are really safe."

Why do I feel that this sentence and this tone seem familiar?

Lin Lu pursed her lips, thinking about how to refuse.

If you want to visit, you can't do it at this time, because Pei Yizhou is sleeping in her room.

The shrimp wontons put into the small cooking pot floated up. She put the phone to her left ear with her other hand and stirred it with a spoon in her right hand.

"I am safe and healthy. Although my brother is a little neurotic at times, he is not a criminal..."

The kitchen door was suddenly opened, and Lin Lu was so scared that he trembled, and his phone fell off the kitchen counter and onto the ground.

She dropped the spoon and tried to fish with both hands but couldn't find anything.

Pei Yizhou walked over, took her away from the boiling pot, then picked up the phone and returned it to her.

Of course, the call was hung up.

"You don't have to be so nervous when you see me," he took over the job of turning Wonton over, his expression showing no emotion, "This doesn't count as cheating."

"..." Lin Lu touched the stubborn phone and imitated his calm expression, "You came at an unfortunate time. Duan Chengyu said he wanted to come visit me, and I was rejecting him."

Then the call was hung up and I didn't succeed in rejecting it.

Pei Yizhou threw down the spoon, and the ceramic texture hit the edge of the pot, making a sound.

It was like dubbing his gloomy expression.

She shrugged innocently, went to the refrigerator, broke off two leaves, washed them and threw them into the pot.

She bought the wontons at the supermarket earlier, and they were highly recommended by Ding Zitong.

The filling is shrimp and water chestnut chopped pieces. It tastes like the chewiness of shrimp and the refreshing granularity of water chestnut chopped pieces. It is very delicious when paired with the sauce prepared by Pei Yizhou.

She didn't even want to take time to talk, and ate the whole bowl in one breath, only then was her stomach just barely filled.

Pei Yizhou didn't let her eat too much in a short period of time. He was extremely worried about her sweating while eating wontons. He frowned and wiped her sweat, and frequently put his hand against her forehead to check her temperature.

"Your menstrual flow was very small this time, and your body was cold. Sleeping next to you was like a piece of ice melting. Did your dream say how long you stayed in Antarctica?"

Her sequelae did not seem like she had been wandering in a parallel world for seven years, but rather like her body had been frozen in the Antarctic ice for seven years and then dug out.

Lin Lu shook his head: "But in the dream, after I fell into the ice, I seemed to have been soaked in ice water, and then..."

"Knock knock--" The knock on the door interrupted her recollections.

She subconsciously looked at Pei Yizhou's expression, then coughed and ran to open the door.

It’s really Duan Chengyu.
