Stop flirting, I can't stand it

On Monday, Mu Hongmo came to the office and put the caramel latte he bought on Lu Qi's place.

Then he took off his coat, glanced at his watch——

Lu Qi is used to stepping a little bit, and it should be there in ten minutes.

Sitting in his seat, Mu Hongmo turned on his phone and glanced at the chat records of the two last night.

... No matter how turbulent his heart is, he still doesn't like to put this kind of pressure on the other party.Or maybe it was because he simply didn't want to scare Lu Qi.

So when he returned from the gym yesterday afternoon, he didn't think about sending Lu Qi a message until after nine o'clock in the evening.

"I came to the gym, I heard you have been here this morning?"

……

After Mu Hongmo sent this message, he came out of the shower and found that the other party still hadn't replied to the message.

He pursed his lips and said, "Have a good rest tonight, and you have to go to work tomorrow, good night."

It wasn't until almost ten o'clock that Lu Qi finally replied the message,

The content of the reply seems to have deliberately ignored the question above, just two simple words - "Good night."

Mu Hongmo was holding the phone, with a trace of fear on his brows.

Lu Qi is deliberately drawing a line with him, so that he will not delve too deeply into his own life?

But obviously...it wasn't like this before going to Changyang.

The two have come and gone, and there are more or less intersections in their lives, and Lu Qi didn't shy away from it at that time.

He thought of the thing that made him feel bad again - the person Lu Qi liked.

Although no one said this to him directly, he almost confirmed it as a fact through Zhang Zi's few words and Lu Qi's unusual reaction.

Combined with the front desk of the gym, he is blond and handsome.

...Could it be?

Mu Hongmo is not a person who prepares for the worst from the very beginning. He likes to stay the same and deal with all the problems encountered in life and work with ease.

But the matter about Lu Qi... Lu Qi himself made him lose his sense of proportion.

Once he meets this person, he sometimes feels that he is a bit unlike himself.

Nervous, apprehensive... I couldn't help but think what would happen if Lu Qi really fell in love with someone else.

He wasn't like that.

Mu Hongmo pursed his lips even tighter, feeling a little flustered.

Coming over this morning, Mu Hongmo went to the coffee shop he thought was good, and brought Lu Qi's favorite caramel latte.

……

While he was busy with the work in hand, he roughly estimated the time, but Lu Qi didn't show up at the company until he read the document in front of him and wrote the revision opinion.

Mu Hongmo looked at his watch—twelve minutes had passed the working time, and Lu Qi was definitely late.

He took out his mobile phone, and his first reaction was to worry if something happened to Lu Qi on the road.

After typing the line "Have you come to the company?", there was a pause, and Mu Hongmo deleted it word by word.The tone of this sentence is a bit blunt, so it should be said in another way.

Just as he was hesitating to send Lu Qi some questions, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

Mu Hongmo said.

A girl from the administration department hurried in and said to Mu Hongmo, "Secretary Mu, I forgot to tell you that Xiaolu always asked for leave today, and asked for one day off on Monday."

Mu Hongmo frowned, and repeated: "Ask for leave?"

Hearing Secretary Mu's rhetorical question, the girl from the administration department was a little flustered, and quickly added: "Yes...Xiaolu is not an ordinary employee. Strictly speaking, you need to report to the immediate leader to ask for leave. Xiaolu always has no direct supervisor. With us We can't go through the process after I asked for leave, so I'm here to tell you now..."

Mu Hongmo is usually known for his strictness in the company, and the administration department has dealt with him a lot on weekdays. Knowing that he has no eyes for this kind of process, so when he asked back, the first reaction of the girl in the administration department was Feeling that Secretary Mu was dissatisfied with the speed and rules of the administrative department's handling of matters, he quickly explained.

Unexpectedly, Mu Hongmo didn't delve into this point, but asked: "Did Xiao Lu say why he asked for leave? Sick leave, or personal leave?"

"The reason given was personal leave, specifically because Mr. Xiaolu didn't say anything, and it's not easy for us to ask about his private life..."

"Okay, I see." Mu Hongmo nodded.

The girl from the administration department took a long breath and left the office.

After the door closed, Mu Hongmo looked at the phone screen again.

Once again, all the words I typed out were deleted.

Since it's a personal leave, there's no need to send out this message.

……

Knowing that Lu Qi would not come to the company today, Mu Hongmo stared at his seat in a daze for a while.

It wasn't until the phone rang and he picked it up that he started working again.

"Well, I've marked the revision and sent it to you."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Hongmo opened the next file.

In fact, his daily work tasks are very heavy.

Those who can do more work, and Lu Zhengnian also values ​​him, values ​​his ability and character, and assigns him many big projects.

Mu Hongmo used to enjoy the feeling of putting himself into work, but for some reason today...

I always feel empty in my heart.

It may be because there is one less person around.

……

"So, is the person you have a crush on your boss or your classmate in college?" Di Yi was surprised.

Lu Qi stopped holding the chopsticks for a moment, and replied a little irritably, "It's sort of."

"Then you two are really destined! Lu, when did you start to fall in love with this Mu? When you were in college? Why didn't I hear you mention it when you were in school?"

Di Yi awkwardly picked up a piece of tribute dish with his chopsticks and asked Lu Qi.

At noon, Lu Qi brought Di Yi to a famous hotpot restaurant in Beishi, planning to show him the style of Huachao hotpot.

"No..." Lu Qi said, and picked up the tribute dish that had been repeatedly falling into the pot with his chopsticks and put it into the Diyi bowl.

"It was only after returning to China that I found out that I... like him."

"Hmm... delicious!" Di Yi chewed the tribute vegetables crunchily and gave him a thumbs up.

Lu Qi: "..."

After enjoying the tribute dishes, Di Yi remembered his question just now, and continued: "I heard that you and this Mu had a lot of happy times when you were on a business trip. Why are you still so sad? It's because he and uh...others the words said?"

Yesterday, Lu Qi had roughly explained the matter to Di Yi, and today he wanted to take this friend who came from afar to have fun, but unexpectedly, at noon, Di Yi was obviously more interested in his "secret love" interest.

"Ah."

"Hey, brother, don't do this! Okay? In my opinion, that Mu must have feelings for you... Let's not talk about what he thinks. You have confirmed your mind. Is it because the other party has feelings for you?" attitude?"

"His attitude towards me is actually pretty good..."

"Look, even if you are in a bad mood, you are still speaking for him! Don't worry about yourself anymore."

"Who is in a bad mood..."

"It's obvious, okay? There's no need to deny it! I admit that there is a person who has a crush on sweet and sour. Enjoy this kind of relationship, brother, do your best, and then leave the result to God... This blood is Isn't it familiar?"

"Well, it's ready to eat." Lu Qi picked up the colander.

"Well, it's delicious! It's so spicy!"

"You can dip a little less in the dry dishes." Lu Qi smiled when he saw Di Yi grinning.

"That's right, just smile." Di Yi winked at Lu Qi with a smile while breathing in: "In my impression, you are the energetic and courageous Lu!"

……

"By the way, your birthday is coming up, isn't it?"

"Ah."

"Invite him."

""

"That Mu." Di Yi said, "Create opportunities for you to get along, birthday party, think about it... Alcohol, dancing, games, what a good opportunity to get closer, if you still struggle, then get him drunk Just ask him what he thinks, anyway, he won’t remember anything when he wakes up.”

"...You are quite addicted, I have never seen you do it before."

Di also choked for a moment, and was rarely able to refute.

"Hey, but it's indeed a good idea." Lu Qi raised his eyebrows at him.

"Remember to invite me then, I will be a good assist!"

"Really? It took years for some people to cultivate, can I really get help?"

"Hey! Don't underestimate me, okay? I should have more say than you in terms of emotions!"

"Maybe?" Lu Qi laughed, he liked to chat with Di Yi very much, it reminded him of the time when he was still in school in Ice Country.

……

"Lu... Beishi, do you know a lot of people?"

"what happened?"

Di Yi looked at Lu Qi's back and said, "There's a handsome guy coming towards us."

"Maybe passing by. To be honest, we still have a lot of handsome guys in Beishi." Lu Qi joked with Di Yi.

"No... just staring at you."

Lu Qi turned his head when he heard this sentence, and saw a familiar person—it was the protagonist of the conversation between the two just now.

Mu Hongmo was dressed in a suit and had already walked in front of him: "Lu Qi?"

"Brother Mu." Lu Qi stood up.

"You asked for leave today because of... this one?"

"Oh, my friend came to play with me. I took a day off to show him around. Brother Mu, this is..."

"Entertainment, have dinner here with the partner." Mu Hongmo replied briefly, and set his eyes on Di Yi who was on the side.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and a really handsome face.

When I came over just now, I saw this person smiling at Lu Qi... Maybe the relationship is really good.

"Oh! This is my friend Di Yi." Lu Qi quickly introduced.

Di Yi stood up with a smile all over his face, he probably already knew who the person in front of him was.

"Hello." Di Yi greeted in broken Chinese and extended his hand.

He could faintly feel the less obvious hostility from the other party.

"Hello." Mu Hongmo said, and shook the foreign youth's hand.

……

Di also felt the strength in the palm of his hand, and glanced at Lu Qi, who was a little dazed, next to him.

This Mu may not care about him as much as Lu imagined.

Hey, great news.
