Stop flirting, I can't stand it

Lu Qi had a messy dream that night.

First, he dreamed that his birthday party was held in a dimly lit private room, Zhang Zi and Li Yang were all there, and Brother Mu was sitting on the sofa opposite him.

He seemed to be talking to Zhang Zi all the time, occasionally glancing at his eyes to quietly observe Brother Mu's expression.This person had a cold expression on his face, he had absolutely no intention of talking to everyone present, and he had never met his eyes.

At twelve o'clock, a group of booers wanted to eat cakes and light candles.The candles lit a whole circle around the cake, and the candles flickered on and off in the dim environment.

Lu Qi closed his eyes, made a wish and blew out the candles, and it was time for a group of people to give him birthday presents.

Zhang Zi, Li Yang and the others handed over exquisite packages one after another, but Lu Qi's attention was obviously not on these people.He saw that Mu Hongmo, who was sitting opposite with a dull expression, also moved, and was taking something out of the bag he was carrying.

There are quite a few people giving gifts in front of him, but Lu Qi is concerned about that one.In his arms were piles of presents from the guests present, and his eyes were silently watching Mu Hongmo's movements.

He watched Mu Hongmo stand up, and waited until the other gift givers had returned to their positions before this person came to him with something.

"Lu Qi, happy birthday." Mu Hongmo came over and said to him.

Lu Qi looked intently at the thing in this man's hand - the thing was not small, it was packaged in a big box, he carefully opened the box, and what came into view was...

Lushi Group's A-level project report for the past five years? ? ?

Lu Qi held the box, his heart was in a mess, and he still said "Thank you."

At this time, suddenly a human head emerged from the cake, as if it had been hidden in the cake a long time ago.

——It’s Di Yi.

I saw this golden retriever was covered in cream, and there were a few candles on top of his head that were not completely down. He excitedly shouted at Lu Qi: "Lu! Look! I said he cares about you!!!"

……

When Lu Qi woke up with a start, Di Yi's voice seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

He wiped his face silently, and he couldn't help thinking—what's all this mess?

The alarm clock only started ticking at this time, and Lu Qi reached out to press it off.

The curtains in the room were all closed tightly, and the light that came in could only be seen through the gaps.

Last night I set an alarm clock for [-]:[-], and today I woke up a little earlier than the alarm clock... It's all because of Di Yi.

It's okay to urge people in reality, and it's not even a dream to make people feel at ease.

Lu Qi was stunned for a while, thought about something, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed, changed clothes and washed.

……

When I went downstairs, Mama Zhang was the only one busy in Nuoda's kitchen space, and there was no sign of Lu Zhengnian.

"Where's the old man?" Lu Qi asked after going down the stairs and sitting in front of the dining table.

Thinking about it this way... It seems that it is not just today.

I didn't see Lu Zhengnian yesterday or the morning before yesterday.

After returning from a business trip in Changyang City, Lu Qi has been focusing on his own affairs.Relieving emotions and entertaining friends did not notice this.

"Oh, sir, he got up and went to the company after five o'clock. He said that the company has been busy recently, so he has to deal with it quickly."

Lu Qi frowned: "What time did he come back last night?"

After sending Di Yi back to the hotel by himself, when Xiao Liu pulled him back...the parking lot didn't seem to have the car that Lu Zhengnian used to.

"It's more than one o'clock. My husband is working overtime again. During this time, I come back very late every day." Zhang Ma said while bringing Lu Qi's breakfast to the table in front of Lu Qi.

"so late?"

Coming back so late and going out so early, Lu Zhengnian looked like a serious workaholic... He is not too young now, is his body able to handle it?

"Yes, I also persuaded my husband to take a longer rest, but my husband said that the business is important, and it will be fine after I have been busy for a while."

"……Um."

Lu Qi nodded, thinking about going to the company to ask Mu Hongmo today.

He has also been in the company for a short time, and he has no idea that the company has been so busy recently...Go and ask, and see if there is anything he can help.

……

"morning."

As soon as Mu Hongmo arrived at the company today, he opened the office door and saw someone greeting him with a smile on his face.

"Morning." He also nodded, and put the paper bag in his hand on the table.

"Do you want coffee?" Mu Hongmo asked.

"Bought it for me?" Lu Qi's expression was a little surprised.

"Well... the newly opened coffee shop downstairs is buy one get one free, two caramel lattes, and I brought you a cup by the way." Mu Hongmo said.

"Thank you."

Lu Qi stretched out his hand to take the coffee that Mu Hongmo handed over, and he could feel the warmth that it conveyed to his palm through the cup and the thick cup holder.

The coffee tastes fragrant, and the amount of sugar that Lu Qi likes is added, which relieves the bitterness.

He took a sip and asked as if remembering something: "The newly opened coffee shop is having an event, why didn't I see it when I came up... Where is this coffee shop?"

"..." Mu Hongmo paused.

This coffee shop is indeed newly opened, but it is not opened downstairs of the company, and there is no buy one get one free event.

Of course he would not tell Lu Qi the exact words.

"It's in the southeast corner, a little distance from the company. I'm coming from home to drop by." Mu Hongmo said briefly.

The address of the store was not specified.

"Oh... the southeast corner, I should have come from the north at the intersection in front of the company, and I probably missed it."

"Ah."

Mu Hongmo calmly took a sip of the same cup of coffee as in Lu Qi's hand, the silky and sweet taste slid down the tip of his tongue to his throat.

He didn't like these coffees with sugar and milk much before, and he drank mostly iced Americano.

But today's cup... tastes pretty good, at least much better than yesterday's cup.

……

"Did you have a good time yesterday?"

Lu Qi heard Mu Hongmo ask this.

"It's okay, let's do the landlord's favor." Lu Qi didn't know why Mu Hongmo suddenly brought up yesterday's incident, and was a little nervous.

"That friend of yours..." When the words came to his lips, Mu Hongmo paused, feeling that he should not overstep.

"Ok?"

"It's nothing... is it your friend in Ice Country?"

"Yes, we rented together at that time, and the relationship was relatively good."

Mu Hongmo's mind was working fast.

Ice country rent together?This person was so...enthusiastic towards me when I was in college before, so I probably don't have a crush on him.

It should be what happened after going to the ice country.

"He's pretty handsome." Mu Hongmo said after pondering for a moment.

When he thought of Lu Qi and that man getting along day and night in the country of ice, he felt a faint soreness in his heart, and he didn't want to say more.

"Well... he did."

After Lu Qi finished speaking, he also fell into silence.

Di Yi's words still affected him to some extent, and quietly gave birth to a trace of expectation in his heart, "Will Brother Mu ask me something?"

If Brother Mu really cared about him personally, he should... At least he wouldn't praise Di Yishuai so mildly.

Just like a normal friend who doesn't hurt or itch.
