Substitute subject to his outstanding acting

Does Xing Chi actually like him?

How can it be.Xing Chi pretended to be so obedient in front of him, but he scolded him a lot behind his back.It also insinuated that he was a big pig's trotter, and specially gave him burnt biscuits to eat.Even when feeding the cat, he said that it is a waste to give him the stewed soup...

Thinking of this, Lu Zhirui was taken aback suddenly.

He remembered the lively and happy appearance when Xing Chi mentioned him behind his back.

He scolded him, not by gnashing his teeth, but with a light-hearted joke.That appearance was even more inexplicably attractive than his obedient and docile appearance in front of her.

So... is it a duplicity?

Thinking of it this way, it seems to make sense.

Xing Chi didn't like the things he gave, so he catered to his hobbies face to face, and complained secretly behind his back, which was really a bit of a playful thought.

Before Lu Zhirui's eyes, there was an image of Xing Chi making soup for him last night, and even after the soup was cooked, he said he was not worthy.

But didn't you still bring the soup here today?

Lu Zhirui turned his head sideways, looked at the can of chicken soup on the bedside, raised his eyebrows, and curled up the corners of his lips.

She looks good, but she has a lot to think about.

Ji Lan standing in front of him was at a loss.I saw Boss Lu with a cold face just now, and he was not very happy all morning. Why is it suddenly cloudy and sunny now?

Although Boss Lu is unpredictable, he has never been such an uncertain person.

Then, Ji Lan saw Mr. Lu put down the documents in his hand, reached over, and picked up the thermos bucket on the table.

The thermos has been there all morning, and the soup inside has become warm.Mr. Lu has always been picky. Ji Lan was about to go over to take away the soup and heat it up for him, when he saw Mr. Lu had already opened the lid of the bucket, brought out the bowl of soup, scooped up a spoonful, and put it into his mouth.

Ji Lan's pupils trembled.

Like watching a ghost, she watched Boss Lu drink up the whole bowl of soup spoonful after spoonful.

Although Lu Zhirui had figured out Xing Chi's little thoughts, there was no reason to change what he said.

Although Xing Chi's petty temper behavior is cute, he doesn't want to condone it, and still feels that he needs to be taught a lesson.

So, throughout the afternoon, Lu Zhirui received more than a dozen messages from Xingchi, some asking him if he had eaten, some asking if he was in a bad mood, and some promising that he would not make him angry next time. He didn't reply to any of them. .

If a child who is throwing a temper tantrum wants to be taught a lesson, he needs to reflect on himself first.

At three o'clock, the financial department sorted out the financial reports from branches all over the country for the previous quarter and sent them to the hospital. Lu Zhirui became so busy that he even forgot to put Xing Chi aside.

After he read the financial report and replied one by one, the sky outside had completely darkened.

Seeing that Lu Zhirui was done, the nurse in the ward came in to change his dressing.While asking the nurse to change the dressing, he was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed to rest, when his phone rang.

Without opening his eyes, he picked up the phone.

"Hey."

The person on the other end of the phone didn't speak.Lu Zhirui frowned, and was about to see who was calling, when he heard two weak, suppressed sobs from the other end.

"I'm sorry Mr. Lu, I...I..."

It's Xingchi.He choked with sobs and reluctantly opened his mouth, but he didn't finish a sentence, and he was sobbing that he couldn't speak.

Lu Zhirui frowned and sat up unconsciously.

"What's the matter with you?" he asked.

"I'm fine, I just don't know... I don't know if you are still busy." Xing Chi said.

Lu Zhirui didn't speak.

"I... I shouldn't have called you this time, but I seem to have offended you today..." Xing Chi said twitching on the other end.

Through the phone, Lu Zhirui could hear his suppressed crying.He didn't seem to want him to hear that he was crying, but the sobbing couldn't stop.

"No." Lu Zhirui said.

"Then you...you let me..." Leaving seemed to be hard to say, and Xingchi on the other end was sobbing and didn't say it.

Lu Zhirui could even imagine him biting his lip in grievance.

At this time, even if Lu Zhirui decided to teach him a lesson, he couldn't hold on anymore.

Maybe facing the person who loves him passionately, he will always be extra soft-hearted, Lu Zhirui couldn't stand Xingchi's tears.

He didn't make any big mistakes, he was just a simple boy in love, playing with his temper behind his back.Lu Zhirui thought to himself.

He has always been very conniving towards Xing Chi, but today he suddenly drove him away for no reason, as if it was a bit harsh for him.Xing Chi suppressed it all afternoon, until now he dared not call him, and even kept apologizing on the phone, he must have been frightened.

Even Lu Zhirui himself didn't notice, his voice softened a bit.

"Just busy," he said.

This is obviously not an intentional explanation, after all, he originally told Xing Chi not to come.But this is already a rare concession for Lu Zhirui.

Xing Chi has always been sensible and interesting, this is enough.

He explained a little, and then continued: "Come back tomorrow morning, today's soup is stewed well."

Xingchi over there let out a sound of surprise while sobbing.

"Really!" He was still crying, but his whole body seemed to brighten up. "Then I'll come early tomorrow morning!"

As he said that, he couldn't help but smirk twice, but before he could laugh, his laughter was choked back by a sobbing hiccup.

The corners of Lu Zhirui's mouth twitched.

What a silly thing.he thought.

"Ah."

"Then, then I'll hang up first." Xing Chi said.

He said he wanted to hang up, but he didn't mean to hang up at all.He was there, twitching occasionally, as if he was waiting for Lu Zhirui's response.

"Yes." Lu Zhirui didn't say anything.

"Then Mr. Lu, you, you should also pay attention to rest, don't work too late, go to bed early."

"it is good."

"Then... Then I wish you good night and have a good dream."

Xing Chi's soft and gentle voice brushed against his ears, obviously he was still crying, but with a bright smile.

This feeling was a little strange, and even Lu Zhirui gradually came to his senses long after Xingchi hung up the phone.

He slowly put down the phone.

For such a long time, he has long been used to Xingchi being by his side like a shadow, but he has never felt like this today.

He seemed to have just met Xing Chi.

After all, this may be the first time that Xing Chi has shown his true emotions and feelings in front of him, or it may be the first time that Lu Zhirui has noticed Xing Chi's strong and forbearing love.

The so many resources, money and materials he gave to Xingchi seem to be insignificant in the face of such love.

He accidentally picked up his phone, opened WeChat, bypassed all the work news, and clicked into Xingchi's dialog box.

During the time he was busy, Xing Chi sent him dozens of messages.

There is the meal he ate tonight, the night view and starry sky outside his window, the gift that Lu Zhirui just gave, and more, his terrified apology.

In the past, Lu Zhirui would only take it for granted as a money transaction, but now he knows that what Xingchi wants is not that.

He turned a blind eye to the millions of jewels, he was so humble and careful only because of Lu Zhirui.

Holding the phone, Lu Zhirui unconsciously flipped through the chat history.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't be such a worthless person.He has been a star from the crowd, and he is outstanding from ordinary people. Even the children of the aristocratic families around him have a lot of admiration for him.

He has never lacked admiration since he was a child, but for some reason, this kind of love from Xing Chi made him slightly moved in the freshness.

It even made him want to see Xing Chi for the first time, and see him right away.

His hand landed on the dialog box, but stopped.

It was getting late, calling Xing Chi at this time seemed to be very eager and hopeless.

He is not used to showing weakness, let alone put other people's place before his own.His hand stopped, and after a long time, he typed a line lightly.

"Don't think too much, go to sleep."

Then, he put down his cell phone, turned off the bedside lamp, and lay down on the bed.

Ji Lan, who was about to come in to get the documents at the door, froze in place when she saw the ward with the lights off through the glass.

This……

She raised her wrist in disbelief.

Nine o'clock sharp.

When did Boss Lu sleep so early?

She thought about it again, maybe Mr. Lu was tired after working hard for a whole day before his injury healed.

She must have never imagined that the person in the ward was trying his best to fall asleep without saying a word.

It was just because he suddenly wanted to see someone.

-

In a daze, Lu Zhirui opened his eyes.

He appeared in Xingchi's living room again.The lights outside the window were bright, and the huge living room was empty, with no one there.

Lu Zhirui walked around and saw Xingchi busy in the kitchen.

There was a faint smell of chicken soup wafting from the kitchen. It looked like he was staying up late to make soup for him.

He didn't listen to him and told him to rest early.

Lu Zhirui complained coldly in his heart, but stood up and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

The closer you get to the kitchen, the clearer the scent.Lu Zhirui's tongue has always been picky, and this kind of ordinary home-cooked food has never caught his eye, but at this moment, he smelled the smell wafting from the kitchen, and he actually felt a little hungry.

He raised his head, and saw Xing Chi's tall and slender back under the soft light.

There is actually a vague feeling of home.

Lu Zhirui sat down on the spot unconsciously, watching Xing Chi quietly.

At this moment, the busy Xing Chi turned around and picked up the mobile phone on the island stage.

With a calm and comfortable expression, he held down the voice button and said to the phone.

"Mr. Lu, are you asleep? I remember that you seem to like the shiitake mushrooms in the soup very much. I put a lot of them today..."

With a leisurely smile on his face, he even slowly opened the refrigerator and took out a can of Coke from it.

But his voice was choked and weak, with a fragile, fragile, and humble joy.

"I'm sorry, I must have disturbed you. I'm just... just very happy that you can answer my call today. Go to bed early and don't stay up late."

With a whoosh, the voice note was sent out.

Xing Chi hummed slowly, put down the phone, clicked, and opened the can of Coke.

Cold air bubbles burst out, as if the soft cry that echoed in the kitchen just now came from another person.

Lu Zhirui's heart also went cold.

The author has something to say:

Lu Zhirui's diary:

April 2021, 11, sunny.

He loves me so much, his eyes can't fool me.

November 2021, 11, sunny to cloudy with light rain

He doesn't love me, he's just pretending.
