she's not at ease

It was a bit late when I got home.

Lu Yi gently opened the door.

She thought her movements were small enough, but after a while, she saw her mother Lu Xuemei sticking her head out of the bedroom, and then came out: "Why are you back so late today, I'll go to the kitchen to make chicken soup for you."

"I went back to the company after having dinner with my colleagues."

Lu Yi opened her lips, she hesitated to speak, she changed her shoes and took two steps forward, and finally sat down by the table, waiting for her mother to serve her chicken soup.

The hand that was originally on the knee also subconsciously lifted up and covered the lower abdomen.

Strictly speaking, this was probably her third meal tonight, and she ate a lot of bridge rice noodles with Luo Yao just now.

——Hold on.

"You are so tired after going to work every day, so you should make up for it. Come on, I'll watch you drink it." Lu Xuemei sat on a chair beside her and stared at her daughter earnestly, like a strict supervisor.

"..." Lu Yi couldn't drink anymore, so she had to beg for mercy, "Mom, can I have a drink on the table first?"

"why?"

"I just came back from eating and I'm full."

"Didn't you say that you went to the company after the dinner? Why did you eat again?"

Lu's mother is indeed Lu Yi's real mother. She gave birth to a daughter who is thoughtful and a good mother.

She accurately grasped the logical loopholes in her daughter's words, and at the same time smelled an unusual smell.

Lu Xuemei's eyes lit up instantly, and she lowered her voice: "Have you met a boy recently?"

"No."

"Really do not have?"

Lu Yi looked at her mother quite speechlessly, a look was enough to express everything.

"Okay." Lu Xuemei looked a little disappointed, and her interest was half lost.

Finally, Lu Yi coaxed her mother back to the bedroom to sleep, while she leaned on the chair and took a nap with her eyes closed, digesting what she ate not long ago.

The phone was placed on the table like this, and it rang after a while.

The straightforward caller ID tells the owner of the phone who is calling.

——A phone call from Luo Kunpeng.

Lu Yi stared at the constantly flashing names on the screen, without doing anything.

The matter of contract renewal has now been settled, and she has agreed to Luo Yao's condition to help the other party, so naturally there is no need to contact the former boss.

Lu Yi let the screen flicker until it hung up automatically.

Luo Kunpeng called her several times before and after. It could be seen that she was in a state of anger after receiving the news of contract renewal and wanted to ask Lu Yi for an explanation, but Lu Yi felt that the other party was too annoying, so she finally pulled her into the call blacklist.

The world is finally clean.

The next day, Luo Yao did not come to the company as he said.

Lu Yi didn't care, she was still doing her own things step by step, but occasionally when she opened the company's chat group, she would see everyone taking time to discuss some gossip - for example, 'Mr. Practical people, for example, Mr. Luo seems to have a younger sister.

Whether it's true or not, Lu Yi only takes it as a joke.

On the third day, Luo Yao still didn't come.

The fourth day, the fifth day... Someone saw Luo Yao appearing in the company and then leaving, looking very busy.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the two hadn't seen each other since "Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles" that night.

During the period, Lu Yi also thought about whether this was Luo Yao's play hard to get... But it was just a guess.

This kind of emotional matter only took up a very small part of her life, and soon, Lu Yi also devoted herself to her busy work.

The weather has gradually turned cooler and entered November, and the beginning of winter will begin as soon as the first month passes.

In Lidong, there was a trend of mutton hot pot. Within a week, Lu Yi had already had two meals of mutton hot pot with clients, and this was the third meal tonight.

On the business table, if there is hot pot, wine is indispensable.

A dinner party lasted from 09:30 pm to [-]:[-]. When Lu Yi came out of the restaurant, she wobbled and said goodbye to the customers while holding the door.

The people who ate together left in a hurry, and these bosses all had their own drivers to pick them up.

It is a fixed tradition in China that business must be discussed at the wine table.

Although most people hate this tradition, there is nothing they can do about it.

Lu Yi knew that she would not be able to drive a car like this, so she didn't bother to get back in the car. She simply leaned against the wall of the hotel entrance and took out the mobile phone in her bag to call a car.

Drunkness filled her brain, making her eyes a little foggy.

At this time, I found several missed call IDs of "mother" on the mobile phone.

After thinking about it, she decided to dial one back.

"Hey, mom, I just delivered the client..."

"Don't worry, don't drink and drive, don't drink, I know."

"I'll take a taxi back in a while, don't worry."

Before the person on the other end of the phone could speak, Lu Yi habitually said what her mother used to tell her.

Lu Yi thought that the person on the other end of the phone was her mother, so there was a bit of coaxing when she spoke.

Unexpectedly——

"Mom?" Luo Yao's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone, "Lu Yi, have you been drinking?"

At this time, Luo Yao had just finished talking with his friends outside and was about to go home. After receiving a call from Lu Yi, his steps of leaving paused.

She pressed down her brows indistinctly, and gestured to her friend to go first, then walked aside and continued to hold the phone: "Where are you now?"

It was already raining heavily outside, and Luo Yao's voice was a little cold with the pattering rain.

There was endless silence on the phone.

If it weren't for the continuous noisy background sound, Luo Yao would almost have thought that the phone had been hung up.

"Lu Yi." She called out again patiently, "Answer my question."

"How can you get a car in such heavy rain?"

However, Lu Yi, who found out that she dialed the wrong number, didn't intend to talk to Luo Yao more.

"Sorry, I seem to have made a typo."

"Hang up first."

She hung up the phone decisively.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yi leaned against the wall to support her forehead, and was speechless to herself for a while. She didn't expect that the wrong number was dialed to Luo Yao.

I don't know if it will be misunderstood as "deliberately dialing wrong".

——As long as Lu Yi thinks that he will be misunderstood by the other party, Lu Yi can't wait to find a hole in the ground and go in.

While fidgeting, she continued to use the software to call a car, but no driver answered for a long time.

Just like what Luo Yao said, it is even more difficult to get a taxi in heavy rain.

Not long after, a silver-white car stopped in front of the hotel.

Immediately afterwards, someone opened the car door, opened the umbrella and walked down.

There are still people running to the hotel in this heavy rain at this point... Lu Yi couldn't help but looked down the steps curiously.

The black umbrella leaf covered the owner's entire upper body, leaving only the slender wrist holding the umbrella handle.

The other party was wearing a pair of white sneakers and stepped on the wet stairs, one step at a time, the clean white shoes were soaked by the water splashed by the rain within two steps, leaving shallow wet marks on the shoes .

As the height of the steps rose, Lu Yi was able to see the other person's face clearly.

The woman walked through the rainstorm with an umbrella and came to her.

"You...how do you know I'm here?" Lu Yi had to admit that her heart skipped a beat the moment she saw this face.

The newly folded umbrella was still dripping water on the ground, staining the originally dry ground in a dark color.

Luo Yao tilted his head slightly and looked at Lu Yi, with faint doubts in his eyes: "Didn't you call me by mistake on purpose?"
