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

Chapter 79 What is she hiding from Duan Chengyu?
As soon as the two men left, Ding Zitong began to "interrogate" the person involved.

"What's going on? You took your concurrent trial position home for a trial? That's too fast. You're only eighteen. Isn't doing this like a savage carrying an anti-aircraft gun into a spaceship?"

"...You think too highly of me. I haven't evolved that fast yet. He came to visit me as a patient and introduced me to a herbal medicine chef."

Ding Zitong didn't believe it: "And your brother let him in like that, and even had a friendly conversation with him?"

"Yes." Lin Lu answered seriously.

Ding Zitong thought for a moment and said, "If he doesn't explode in silence, he will become perverted in silence. Your brother is going to evolve into another type of perversion."

“…Actually, he’s pursuing me.”

"You are too fresh. His behavior is generally called seduction and damp coercion."

"...Really, he's pursuing me, so I'm starting to become normal. The day before yesterday, he even told me not to call him brother for the time being and to treat him as an ordinary suitor."

"Really?" Ding Zitong's eyes switched between widening, squinting, and then widening, her expression becoming subtle. "Then what is his method of pursuit? First assume that he succeeds in pursuit, and then legitimately drives away the rival?"

Lin Lu was eating mutton noodles and didn't have time to answer for a while.

She analyzed it herself: "Humans can no longer tolerate darkness after they have electricity, and men who have had wives cannot accept returning to their internship period. His pursuit is most likely due to the suspicion of divorced husbands... How are you going to deal with it?"

"Like you said, just give the score," Lin Lu said truthfully, "Since he said it was a normal pursuit, then I am the examiner and the rules are in my hands."

Ding Zitong: "A young man can be taught. Don't give him any hope for now. Abuse him for a year and let him experience the ups and downs of life. Of course, you can still enjoy the benefits that are delivered to your door."

What kind of benefit? She thought about Pei Yizhou's hands that were occasionally exposed, and his broad shoulders and narrow waist that he occasionally saw. These were things that people would take a second look at when they passed by, so they were not considered benefits.

So, the only real benefit I saw was at the resort.

“No benefits yet,” she said casually.

"Huh? He doesn't resort to seduction anymore? How come he knows that he is old and ugly after the age of 30?" Ding Zitong was surprised.

She replied nonchalantly: "How should I know? Maybe."

The old and ugly Pei Yizhou sneezed in the car.

He and Duan Chengyu parted ways after leaving the residential area. He went around the company, dealt with some things, and then rushed back at lunch time.

Before getting on the car, I was still on the phone with a foreign client I had worked with before, taking the initiative to help the other party solve their problems and recommending a well-known domestic offshore outsourcing consulting company.

The other company was extremely grateful for his help and he said his last words as he started the car: "You're welcome."

Then drive home in a good mood.

Duan Chengyu does not have the convenience of his identity. As expected, he will be hindered by work after returning. He will most likely have to fly abroad on a business trip and will not be able to appear in front of Lin Lu for a while.

It was a good thing that a piece of garbage at his doorstep was thrown out of the country.

But his good mood only lasted until he opened the door.

Because Lin Lu was video chatting with Duan Chengyu.

That haunting voice floated out from the damn modern mobile communication device, with a sense of ease and tenderness.

"...Yes, a car, a two-seater convertible, you sit in the passenger seat with your hands open, the wild daisies in your hands are very brightly colored, and the weather is very good..."

The mobile phone was placed upright on a spliced stand, and Duan Chengyu's face was magnified, looking at Lin Lu who was writing and drawing with his head down.

The bracket was made of squirrel mortise and tenon joints that Pei Yizhou and Lin Lu bought at the handicraft market. They put it together.

Ding Zitong opened the door for him and prepared to leave as if handing over work. Before leaving, she glanced at him subtly. Pei Yizhou frowned, but did not pay much attention to outsiders. He glanced at Duan Chengyu in the video on his mobile phone, lowered his eyes, took off his coat and hung it up.

Lin Lu looked up at him in the midst of her busy schedule, then continued to write and draw with her head down.

"Go on, how was I feeling in the dream? Were there any specific images of clothes and shoes? Where were we driving to?"

Duan Chengyu's voice was not loud, as if the volume of his phone was turned down.

"You were in a good mood and smiling. Your clothes seemed to be white, but I was not sure about the rest. I could only feel that you were very happy. The car sped up and you grabbed my arm and said you wanted to go home quickly for dinner."

Home? Why another home?

Lin Lu coughed, quietly moved the phone a little bit so that only half of his face was visible on the screen, and then turned down the volume.

Duan Chengyu seemed not to notice and asked her, "Have you written down all my dreams? Are there any overlaps with your dreams so far?"

She paused for a moment, pressed the pen shaft against her thumb with her index finger, and replied, "Not yet. I probably only remember a few scenes that left a deep impression on me. I can only rely on you to dream more and see if you can match the scenes I dreamed of."

Pei Yizhou stood where the phone screen couldn't capture her, holding the glass loosely, took a sip, his eyes fixed on the little movements of her hands.

She also used to like to do that little pen-pressing gesture, for example, when he asked her whether her living expenses were enough, whether she had eaten more meat, eggs and milk, or whether she had gone to bed early.

Was she lying to Duan Chengyu's question just now?
Pei Yizhou took another sip of water to hide his thoughtful look.

Lin Lu didn't notice his gaze. She was video chatting with Duan Chengyu under Pei Yizhou's nose. She would never have dared to think about it before. But now, even if neither of them greeted each other's ancestors for three generations, she still found it very weird.

So she quickly lowered her voice, finished her conversation with Duan Chengyu, and hung up the video.

Then he asked Pei Yizhou: "Why are you back again?"

"It's lunch time. I was worried that you might feel uncomfortable if you ate too much. How do you feel? Do you want to take a nap?" Pei Yizhou asked, putting down the cup.

She shook her head and glanced at him: "I can sleep again after you leave."

"Lulu, you are in the dangerous observation period these days. I can't be away from you for too long." However, he knew that some of his previous behaviors made her worried, so he made concessions.

"I'll just sit in the living room and work. Can you go back to your room and lock the door?"

Lin Lu nodded reluctantly: "You can return to the company after your lunch break. My position is insignificant, and I can take consecutive leave, but you can't."

"Okay." Pei Yizhou agreed with a good attitude.

She returned to her room, taking with her handwritten and sketched dream map.

Having slept enough and filled her stomach sufficiently, she curled up on the single sofa on the balcony of her room, trying to piece together all of Duan Chengyu's dreams.

Unfortunately, they are just simple clips of images, without any story, and cannot be pieced together.

All we can confirm is that she and the "Duan Chengyu" in her dream have many daily interactions, their relationship is indeed very good, and she has no other friends for the time being.

From this, we can guess that when she traveled to the parallel world, she met Duan Chengyu, and then he took her in. Perhaps in the process of helping her find her way back to the real world, the two began to develop feelings for each other.

However, when she traveled through time, did she remember Pei Yizhou's existence?
Has she let go of Pei Yizhou and planned to accept Duan Chengyu, or has she already forgotten him and decided to start a new relationship with another man?

Just as I was thinking about it, a message suddenly popped up in my mobile mailbox.
