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

Chapter 78 Two Men and a Play
Duan Chengyu did not rush in.

After opening the door, he first looked at Lin Lu to make sure she was fine, then quickly glanced around the living room before lifting the casserole in his hand.

Wen He said gently, "Medicinal food, and the mutton noodles I ordered after asking the chef."

Putting aside the medicinal food, the aroma of the mutton noodles was really rushing into Lin Lu's nose, she could even smell the flavor of tomatoes.

"Please come in." She had no experience in entertaining suitors, so she said the word "please" awkwardly and led him to the living room.

Pei Yizhou stood and watched him approach.

There were two men about 1.80 meters tall standing there. Even though the living room was large, Lin Lu felt that the space was becoming cramped.

As the distance between them gradually shortened, the air became thinner.

She kept watching the two of them, wary of them starting another fistfight over something they hadn't agreed to.

The main purpose was to prevent Pei Yizhou from taking action first.

But surprisingly, he did not have too many negative emotions towards Duan Chengyu's arrival - a cold face was not worth mentioning.

"Lulu, didn't you buy disposable cups for the guests before? Where did you put them?" He could also help with the entertaining.

The word "guest" is very prominent.

Duan Chengyu smiled and said, "No need to bother."

Then he placed the medicinal food he brought on the table, unpacking it and saying slowly, "I heard what you were cooking on the phone, so I didn't bring much food, and the medicinal food I chose is one that takes a shorter time to stew."

When the casserole is opened, a rich aroma mixed with the flavors of various medicinal herbs wafts out.

"That chef is the only one in Hai City who specializes in making medicinal food for women. It is said to be very effective. Why don't you try it? After drinking it, you can eat mutton noodles. I see you keep glancing at the takeaway box."

He also laughed softly, and his words and actions showed that he did not take Pei Yizhou's existence seriously.

Lin Lu wasn't just glancing at the mutton noodles; eighty percent of his eyes were focused on Pei Yizhou's expression.

However, she was grateful for Duan Chengyu's kindness and said politely, "Thank you. I'll give it a try."

She took out the matching bowl and chopsticks, planning to drink a few sips of soup before socializing quickly to reduce the time the two of them spent in the same room.

Then Pei Yizhou held her hand.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't use outside tableware. It's not clean." He said lightly, went to the kitchen to get her bowl and chopsticks, and took over the task of serving the soup.

He also said to Duan Chengyu: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Duan. If the medicinal diet is useful, I will contact the chef."

Duan Chengyu: "Don't bother. I have already ordered a month's worth of medicinal food, which will be delivered to Linzhou Technology every noon. After a month's worth of consumption, I can adjust the subsequent prescriptions based on the results."

Pei Yizhou looked at him coldly.

Not everyone is qualified to say the four words "don't bother".

The soup was right in front of him, but the bowl and chopsticks were held by someone. Invisible swords and sabers were fighting, and the atmosphere was like a drawn bow.

She is the arrow, and she doesn’t know whose heart it will pierce.

Lin Lu was silent for a moment, and reached for the mutton noodles: "Otherwise, I'd better eat this first."

So delicious.

"I just ate wontons, take a break." Pei Yizhou was staring at Duan Chengyu just now, but now he accurately interrupted her movements.

The medicinal soup was successfully served and placed in front of her.

The conversation also continued.

"Don't bother, Mr. Duan. It's not right for you to do this. People in the company will gossip about it. I will order the medicinal food. Thank you for the information."

Duan Chengyu kept smiling: "There is only one chef, and his energy is limited. If you accept my order, you will not be able to accept other orders. The amount of money is secondary. If you delay this month's conditioning, Lulu may feel uncomfortable next time."

It sounds like he knows what happened in the past two days.

Pei Yizhou looked at Lin Lu.

Lin Lu drank the soup silently.

She felt that Pei Yizhou's patience was almost exhausted.

For a person with a strong territorial reaction, it is tantamount to provocation for a disliked person to intrude into the territory that he has carefully maintained. Just like a mysophobia patient wants to clean up a large stain, Pei Yizhou probably wants to clean up Duan Chengyu now.

She took two sips of soup and coughed to draw their attention.

"The soup tastes OK. But keeping it warm for too long will reduce the efficacy of the medicine, right? You don't have to send it to the office. I can go to the restaurant to eat after get off work."

She clattered into her bag in her slippers, took out a card and pushed it to Duan Chengyu.

"I'm not taking advantage of anyone. You can deduct the amount I spent from this. I'm very grateful for helping me find such a herbal medicine chef."

Duan Chengyu looked at her serious expression, took the card and said, "Okay."

Pei Yizhou's expression relaxed.

"If you don't have enough money, tell me. This is just my supplementary card. It may not be enough to pay Mr. Duan's referral fee."

Duan Chengyu flicked the card and said, "It's okay. If it's not enough, I'll add more. You have to take some practical actions to chase a girl. Mr. Pei must understand this."

Then he turned to Lin Lu and said, "Report my name when you get to the restaurant, and the manager will take you to table number three. You should like the view from the window there, as the plum blossoms are blooming recently."

Pei Yizhou said to her slowly, "Lulu, why don't you thank Mr. Duan quickly? Remember to wait for me in the office after get off work every day, and we will go to the restaurant for dinner together."

Duan Chengyu's mouth corners smoothed.

Lin Lu unpacked the mutton noodles and said to himself, "It should be ready to eat now."

Before they could say anything else, there was another knock on the door.

She ran over to open the door.

Ding Zitong, who was standing outside the door, shook the hot drink in his hand, changed his shoes and walked in as if he was familiar with the place: "You finally woke up. I was really afraid of getting a call from Pei Yizhou with some bad news. Have you eaten? I brought it... Damn it!"

Ding Zitong almost dropped her hot drink as she looked at the two cheerful men in the living room.

Her eyes swung back and forth, finally looking at Lin Lu behind her.

"You are a dwarf in theory but a giant in action. You have reached harmony so quickly..."

Lin Lu accurately blocked her words before they could be blurted out and covered her mouth with his hands.

Then she said happily: "Zitong, you finally came to see me! Women's topics should be discussed with women. Come and help me take a look at this medicinal meal."

Ding Zitong was dragged to the middle of the living room with her mouth covered, and sat next to Lin Lu.

Lin Lu continued to unpack the package of mutton noodles. Ding Zitong's eyes moved back and forth between Pei Yizhou and Duan Chengyu's faces with meaningful looks.

"This is a rare scene in this century."

"...Okay, stop talking and drink some medicinal food."

"Is that the medicinal food you opened? Do you think I can't smell the mutton?"

"The medicinal food is right in front of you, drink it yourself."

"What should I drink? My period is coming soon. Do you want me to have a hemorrhage? Is your stomach still hurting?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"You put on a uterus-warming patch?"

“…I guess so.” Lin Lu finally ate the mutton noodles, and answered the question vaguely with food in his mouth.

The two of them started chatting, and Pei Yizhou and Duan Chengyu couldn't find a chance to interrupt, so they sat quietly for a while.

Then Pei Yizhou stood up, glanced at Duan Chengyu with half-lowered eyes, but spoke to Lin Lu.

"Lulu, don't rush to lie down after eating. Chat with Ding Zitong for a while before going to sleep. I'll take Mr. Duan out."

Fortunately, these words were relatively tactful. What Pei Yizhou really wanted to say was that Duan Chengyu should get out.

Duan Chengyu was not angry. He stood up and said in a friendly manner: "Boss Pei, please come with me. Indeed, girl's affairs should be discussed with girls. It is not easy to discuss with a man in the middle."

If you want him to leave, no one can stay.
