When Su Yan came to the door of Laiyue Bar holding the agarwood box and called Lu Shouyue, he felt a little uneasy.
Lu Shouyue answered the phone and came out quickly.
After taking the wooden box, Lu Shouyue politely said thank you to Su Yanwei, and politely asked him if he would like to come in and play together for a while and have a drink. The bar today has been booked by them.
If Lin Wanwan had not had any trouble with Lu Shouyue, Su Yanwei would definitely agree to the invitation.
But at this moment, looking at Lu Shouyue's indifferent face, how could he not recognize him?
"Well, I won't go. You guys have fun. By the way, Mr. Lu, my cousin is not feeling well today, so she asked me to give you a gift. Then, I wish you a happy birthday!"
Lu Shouyue nodded casually: "Thank you."
"Then I'll leave first! Bye! My car is still parked on the side of the road." Su Yanwei was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the ground. After delivering the wooden box, he immediately turned around and ran away.
Lu Shouyue stood quietly at the door of the bar for a while, with no expression on his calm face.
It must have been a while since he came out, and Wang Bocheng chased him out: "Old Lu, what are you doing? Come in and play cards!"
Seeing the long wooden box he was holding with one hand, he asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Gift." Lu Shouyue said calmly, "You guys have fun, I want to have a cup of coffee by the river to wake up."
"Are you okay? You are the birthday boy today and you still want to take some time off!" Wang Bocheng came up and grabbed him, "Let's go in and play together. In such a cold weather, is there anything good to sit by the river?"
This bar has an outdoor area, facing the Bund.
It's just that it snowed last night, the temperature is very low today, and it's daytime again, so there's not a single person in sight along the river bank.
After sending the return gift, Lin Wanwan felt relaxed. She didn't know how much Yu Shinan's copybook could be fetched at a modern auction house. She thought the value difference between it and the "Dream Star" blue diamond wouldn't be too big.
Lu Shouyue never replied to the message, so he must be angry.
Lin Wanwan knew very well that she had lost this friend.
The world between men and women is like this. What is originally a stable friendship will change unpredictably once one party wants to get closer.
Although she had made the decision, Lin Wanwan was still not in a high mood. She could neither read medical books nor take online video courses. She could not even write novels and was stuck.
She just sat in the company's office for a long time, watching short videos, reading novels, fishing until noon, then packed up and went home to sleep.
If we count from Tang Dynasty time, she has already stayed up until the latter half of the night.
While she was drifting into sleep, the phone rang. Lin Wanwan reached out from under the quilt and touched the phone. She opened it and answered it without even looking at it.
"Hello~"
There was still a lot of weariness in her voice.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment before he asked uncertainly: "Are you really sick?"
Lin Wanwan heard that it was Lu Shouyue, and suddenly she felt a little sober. However, she couldn't tell the truth, so she could only say: "Yeah."
"Then open the door and I'll take you to the hospital. I'll be downstairs from you."
"No, I'll just take a nap and be fine." Lin Wanwan, who is so strong that she can carry a cow, why is she going to the hospital?
"Come down, I'll wait for you."
Lu Shouyue's tone was a bit strange, and he hung up the phone after speaking, without giving Lin Wanwan the chance to refuse again.
Lin Wanwan buried her head in the quilt and fought internally for half a minute, then put on her coat and went downstairs.
After walking out of the villa, he found that it was snowing outside again. When Fugui saw Lin Wanwan coming out, he came out of the dog villa without fear of the cold and rushed to squat beside her.
Lin Wanwan said to Fugui: "Let's go and open the door for the guests together."
Fugui naturally agreed with all his might, and Lin Wanwan walked to the door of the courtyard in the snow with heavy steps and opened the door.
In fact, I want a light bulb to illuminate myself and give me courage.
Lin Wanwan had rejected many people who had no feelings for her since she was a child, but when she thought about this person becoming Lu Shouyue, she felt inexplicably timid.
The door opened, and Lu Shouyue, wearing a black coat, leaned quietly against the door frame. There was some snow on his head, shoulders and eyelashes. He had obviously been waiting in the snow for a long time.
Lin Wanwan swore that after hanging up the phone, she just suffocated in the quilt for at least a minute. She couldn't have been soaked like this, right?
"Teacher Lu, why don't you hold an umbrella? Come in first."
Lu Shouyue silently opened his long legs and followed Lin Wanwan through the door. Fugui acted very sensibly and closed the courtyard door behind him.
"Is your birthday party over? Oh, I'm so sorry today. I was sick and didn't go to attend. But I've made amends with gifts. Please forgive me."
Lin Wanwan kept talking as she walked towards the house.
Lu Shouyue chuckled: "How are you? Do you have a fever or something? I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."
"No, no, I feel much better now, haha."
In fact, the moment he met Lin Wanwan, Lu Shouyue saw through that she was pretending to be ill.
There is no change in the voice when speaking, and the cheeks are rosy and very healthy and cute. Where is the haggard air of a patient?
It's very cold today, there's no air conditioning downstairs, and there's no difference between indoors and outdoors.
Lin Wanwan saw that Lu Shouyue's nose was red from the cold, and she couldn't bear to say: "Teacher Lu, why are you wearing so little on such a cold snowy day? Do you want to be elegant rather than warm?"
After a pause, he added: "How about you go up to the second floor and sit for a while? I've turned on the floor heating and central air conditioning on the second floor."
"good."
I hadn't noticed it in the yard before, but now I could smell Lu Shouyue's alcohol smell after entering the house.
The two of them went upstairs and sat down. Lin Wanwan asked him: "Teacher Lu, what do you want to drink? Hot tea or boiled water?"
"No, I've been drinking all day today, so I can't drink anything else."
"How did you get here after you were drunk?"
"There is a driver."
"oh."
Lin Wanwan was sitting on the sofa opposite Lu Shouyue, not knowing what to say next.
Normally it would be Lu Shouyue who would answer the call, but today he was particularly silent.
Lin Wanwan had to rack her brains to bring up another topic: "Today's birthday party is very lively, right? With your popularity, Mr. Lu, you must have many friends. Oh, by the way, I saw Wang Anni's circle of friends, and she went too
Well, she’s dressed up so hot today!”
Lu Shouyue sneered: "Yes."
Lin Wanwan felt that he was being arrogant, but considering that the other party was the birthday girl today, and she also refused to attend his birthday party, she was a little unreasonable, so she just tolerated it for the time being.
However, the topic was once again ended by Lu Shouyue.
Lin Wanwan then stood up and walked to the seven-drawer cabinet with the thermostatic milk regulator on the side. As she walked, she said, "I'd better pour you a cup of hot water."
As a result, she had just taken two steps when Lu Shouyue suddenly caught up with her from behind and pulled her into his arms with such force that Lin Wanwan staggered.
It is very unethical to stop here, so today I will update the fourth update. Seeing that I am still working so hard on the second day of the new year, everyone who has a monthly vote should vote for me! Thank you!
