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

Chapter 95 Don’t Pity Him
After returning from the restaurant, Lin Lu was a little absent-minded.

He poured a glass of water but didn't drink it, staring at the water in a daze.

Pei Yizhou walked back and forth between the kitchen and his side bedroom. She couldn't hear what he said clearly, so she just responded with two perfunctory "hmms".

Until the glass of water in her hand was taken away, Pei Yizhou looked at her.

"What are you thinking about?"

She shook her head, wanting to say that she was just daydreaming as usual.

But Pei Yizhou gave her an option before she could speak: "Why, are you moved by Duan Chengyu's heartfelt confession?"

Lin Lu paused and rolled his eyes at him.

"That's not a confession."

"But you do think about it. You pity him?"

People are not cats or dogs. If you feel pity for others, you will be tolerant, allow them to get close, show pity for them... After all, this is what he uses.

Pei Yizhou brought the glass of water to his lips and took a sip. He lowered his eyelashes to hide his emotions and pointed out: "He is just testing your sympathy. A man's half-truths are equivalent to sweet talk. If you follow his tricks, you will fall into his trap."

Lin Lu glanced at him: "I'll give this to you as well. You are in your own trap now."

Compared with Duan Chengyu's confession, he has many more ways to seek sympathy.

Do you really think she is a fool and can't notice it?

Pei Yizhou choked for a rare moment and picked up the cup to drink water.

After drinking it, I don’t know what he was thinking about, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he lowered his eyes, looking a little gentle.

She glanced at him and said, "What are you laughing at? Is it funny to be exposed?"

"I just remembered the past," Pei Yizhou gently rubbed the glass with the back of his hand, and the ring on his ring finger made a ding sound when it touched. "You called me a fried dough twist. You never said what you wanted, but only knew how to test and probe, and created a lot of unnecessary conflicts for no reason. During the Chinese New Year, you deliberately bought a lot of fried dough twists and broke them into two strips in front of me to eat."

That’s a good scolding, she thought to herself.

Then I heard him say, "But you are very tolerant. Even if you scold me, you will still leave me dinner, although it is often burnt hand-pulled pancakes. Then you will bring a pillow to my room at night and say, 'Are you going to become an immortal if you don't sleep yet?' Finally, I will spend the last hour of the day covered with a quilt."

He demanded love, comfort and attention as recklessly as if he was thirsty for water. She knew it, but she still indulged him, as if she didn't know what she was giving him.

Only at this time would Pei Yizhou admit that he was a very lucky man. He was luckier than Pei Juan because he met someone who didn't mind that he was a morbid emotional creature.

Although Lin Lu has forgotten the two years they were in love, the traces of their past love always exist at some point in time.

He drank the water in the cup and reached out to touch Lin Lu's cheek.

"His pity is fake, but mine is not entirely true. Lulu, don't be soft on him."

Lin Lu turned her head away from his palm and glared at him with frowning eyes, like a cat-head emoticon.

"Isn't it just what you want that I'm soft-hearted? If I wasn't soft-hearted towards you, would you be standing here and talking to me?"

He changed the subject smoothly: "Then just be soft on me."

"You are so shameless, Pei Yizhou."

This kind of insult didn't hurt Pei Yizhou at all.

Lin Lu also knew this, so he just decided to let him go at the right time.

"It's nine o'clock, let's go."

"Other people's homes are curfewed at 10 o'clock and they have to go home, but mine is curfewed at 9 o'clock and I have to leave." Pei Yizhou picked up his suit jacket and car keys and sighed.

When he passed by her, regardless of her frowning look, he pinched her chin and kissed her.

"Goodnight kiss. Go to bed early. I'm leaving."

“…Get out of here!”

—As the summit gets closer, the company becomes busier and busier.

There was a car accident at a three-way intersection this morning, and the traffic jam lasted longer. Lin Lu rushed to his workstation and sat down, just one second before his boss arrived at work.

People in the office eat breakfast bought on the roadside while working on their computers. If they have a meeting or something else to do, the breakfast will be left next to the computer until it gets cold without them having a chance to eat a single bite.

Only Lin Lu is an exception.

"Bring fruits again? How early do you get up every day so that you can have breakfast at home?" asked the person at the next workstation.

There are only two types of people in their office: singles living alone and those with children living in groups.

The former usually buy breakfast outside, while the latter usually has little time left for breakfast after taking care of the children.

Lin Lu opened the fruit box and shared fresh blueberries with everyone. Before she could explain, someone guessed, "Do you have a nanny at home? I see someone comes to pick you up after get off work every day."

As for the million-dollar Mercedes, people in the office have discussed it privately several times.

Without blinking, she continued, "Yes, we have a nanny at home, and she likes to research some quick breakfasts."

Everyone immediately exclaimed in envy.

"Then why don't you go home for dinner after get off work? I saw you eating in a restaurant twice. I wanted to call you, but there were two men sitting next to you, and I was afraid of disturbing you."

"Oh, that's my brother and his friend," she continued without blinking, "They were talking about business, and I was eating next to them. That restaurant is delicious."

Talking about his own gossip was not very pleasant, so Lin Lu tapped on the keyboard and turned the topic to the summit mission.

Today I need to go to the conference center two streets away to connect with the third party and arrange the scene in advance.

Halfway through the intern period, the boys were in charge of moving things, while Lin Lu followed the manager to learn how to communicate with third parties.

After the communication, I went to the venue to help with the setup. I dragged a box of table signs and moved them around with great effort, my face flushed red.

"Let me help you." A boy came out, rolled up his sleeves and picked up the cardboard box directly.

The muscles in his arms stood out, straining his clothes.

"Thank you." She ran to the front and pointed out the location.

When she put the cardboard box down, she used her hand to pad it, and the boy happened to move his hand forward, so their fingers touched each other.

Before she could react, the other party quickly retracted his hand as if he had been pricked by a needle, and stammered, "No, sorry."

Lin Lu looked up and his face turned red.

...Is this how Pei Yizhou sees her? She has a weird expression on her face.

"It's okay," she smiled, "What's your name? I'm afraid I remembered it wrong."

"An Tianqi, my name is An Tianqi." He smiled, with dimples on both sides of his lips.

Oh, An Tianqi with dimples. He exchanged contact information with her on the day the training ended and even pressed the elevator for her.

A 23-year-old graduate from a key university, 1.8 meters tall, wearing a famous brand watch.

The girl who discussed with her what delicious food was in the company cafeteria, spent ten minutes identifying a few dishes, and the other twenty minutes talking about this boy.

Lin Lu was about to introduce himself: "Hello An Tianqi, I am..."

"Lin Lu, I know your name is Lin Lu. I have a cousin named An Zhilu, and I thought you were the deer in Xiaolu at first."

The cardboard box containing the place nameplate was placed on the table without being moved, and the two people started talking to each other.

The manager came over and took a look, with a meaningful look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking. He called out the names hastily and said that they should be divided into groups according to the formation of helping each other.

At that time, the two of them will be responsible for placing table signs and assisting in welcoming guests at the summit.

Lin Lu's eyelids twitched. She could tell that An Tianqi was interested in her. If they joined together to welcome the guests, and if they welcomed Pei Yizhou...
