Maybe it was because he drank too much, Lou Shaotang's voice was low and hoarse, and he sounded a little negative.
I frowned, wondering how he could have done it, but I wasn't in the mood to look into it, because what he said made me feel so bad!
"Too late. Too late." Too late. His voice came from behind me again.
Lou Shaotang was so strong, he was able to destroy everything. How could something make him feel uncomfortable?
Impossible!
So I turned and smiled at him mockingly. "What's too late?" I said, "I will leave now. I won't disturb your entertainment, Director Lou. "Goodbye."
I rolled my eyes and turned to the door. However, after taking only two steps, a "clang" sound came from behind him, as if something had fallen down.
I turned my head in confusion and saw that Lou Shaotang, who was sitting on the sofa a moment ago, had already fallen to the ground.
"Lou Shaotang!" I panicked and ran back to the sofa to help him up. "Lou Shaotang, are you alright?" I patted his face.
Looking at him being depressed and reeking of alcohol, I couldn't help but frown as I saw that he didn't look like the usual cold and aloof CEO Fan'er at all, just like an ordinary person who was drunk. If I didn't take him with me, he definitely wouldn't be able to go back, so my rare soft spot suddenly popped up.
I immediately called the waiter and asked him to help me pull him up from the ground. It took a lot of effort for the two of us to lift him into my car. After that, I called Shu Qiao and told her that I had left due to some urgent circumstances.
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Lou Shaotang who was unconscious on the back seat. I sighed, annoyed that I was too impulsive just now, I just wanted to take him away, but didn't think about where I should take him. Now that I think about it, there doesn't seem to be anywhere to go.
Garden, no. If Lou Family sees that I gave it back, I don't know what he would think, but at that time, Xu Manli would have to make use of this opportunity and cause some trouble, which would cause a misunderstanding between Chen Fei and I.
I can't go to a hotel and get a room. In the event that they were caught by the puppies, even if they jumped into the Yellow River, they wouldn't be able to wash them off.
After sitting in the car and thinking for a long time, I suddenly thought of a very suitable place, the South of the City Apartments. That place was Lou Shaotang's secret residence. No one knew where it was safest.
Once I made up my mind, I started the car and headed for the apartment.
Coming back here after a few months, I feel weird. I can't describe the feeling, it feels like a lifetime has passed. He thought that Lou Shaotang had already removed the seal on his finger, but who knew that I would open the door just to try it out.
But I couldn't care less, all I wanted was to get him inside. He was too heavy, and I couldn't hold on any longer.
In the living room, my shoes were not happy to change. I carried him to the sofa and put him on the sofa. My whole body relaxed in an instant.
Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I accidentally looked around in a circle and was surprised.
Lou Shaotang was a person with a slight obsession with cleanliness. His room was always clean and spotless, but now, the living room was a mess.
Several magazines lay scattered on the floor, and seven or eight empty beer cans were scattered over them. There was half a sandwich on the plate on the table, obviously leftover, and beside the plate was a packet of unsealed biscuits, which were scattered all over the table.
So dirty. I couldn't help but frown. I looked at the coffee table in front of the sofa. The table was also filthy, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts, and there were ashes everywhere.
No wonder I haven't seen him in the Garden for the past few days. So it turns out that he's been living here, I think.
But I was even more confused the next moment, what exactly happened to Lou Shaotang that he would be so decadent?
Because he was too drunk, his face was flushed red. Although his face was not as cold and hard as before, he still emitted an aura that repelled strangers. It was likely that there was something bothering him, causing his forehead to furrow slightly.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and I sneezed, looking towards the wind. Seeing that the window was open, I immediately thought that Lou Shaotang was sleeping, and would catch cold if the wind blew. I quickly went to close the window, and then closed the curtain.
According to my previous plan, after bringing Lou Shaotang safely back home, I went back home. But now, I don't know where I went wrong, but I actually went back to the sofa and started taking off his shoes.
Looking at the leather shoes in my hands, I was stunned for a while. When I came back to my senses, I stood up, obviously intending to walk to the door, but my feet seemed to not listen to me and went back to my room. I even took the blanket from the bed and went back to the living room to help Lou Shaotang cover it. Then he went to the bathroom and washed his face with a hot towel.
After doing all this, even I felt that it was inconceivable, and I wondered if I had been possessed by a ghost.
No, I must go now.
I shook my head to clear it.
Just as I was about to leave, Lou Shaotang suddenly muttered something. I didn't hear clearly, and turned around to look at him, and he seemed to look very uncomfortable, with his hand on his neck as though he was very thirsty, thinking that any drunk person would be thirsty. Thus, I only hesitated for a moment, put down my bag, and went to the kitchen to pour him a cup of water.
I sat down on the sofa and helped him up against me. I put the glass of water to his mouth and gave it to him. After drinking for a while, seeing that he seemed to be feeling better, he put him back on the sofa.
Putting the cup on the coffee table, I squeezed my tired arms and shoulders and looked up at the clock. It was past 2 AM. It had been several hours since he brought Lou Shaotang back from the bar.
I exhaled, looked around the cluttered living room, and got up to pack.
After they were all cleaned up, another 2 hours passed. Looking at the living room that had turned back into a clean and bright place, I cursed myself: Tu Ying, you're sick!
But at this point, I can't mess it up any more.
After slapping himself in the heart and clearing his mind, he decided to just treat it as a good man.
I yawned. I wanted to go home, but after thinking about it, I wouldn't be able to sleep for long even if I went back now. I decided to just leave and head straight to the company when the sky turns bright later.
I felt a little hungry from all the work and physical exertion of the night, so I went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. Open the refrigerator and find nothing but beer.
How did Lou Shaotang spend the past few days?
I complained in a low voice.
Thinking about the rice I bought when I lived here, I decided to make porridge. I opened the cupboard. The rice bucket was still in its place. I scooped up two handfuls and poured the rice into the pot. Then I added water and boiled it on top of the gas.
Staring at the blue-purple flames, my thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the time Lou Shaotang and I lived here.
At that time, without Lou Family's pickiness and supercilious eyes, he and I would be like an ordinary couple living here. During the day, we would each be busy our own way. Although they had been taunting each other all day and disliked each other, their relationship was definitely not as bad as it was right now.
Looking back on those days, I was in such a good mood that my secretary thought something had happened to me.
However, too many things happened that I did not expect and did not expect. The relationship between him and I, which was gradually easing down, collapsed once again, eventually breaking into pieces.
With a "puff" sound, the porridge overflowed from the pot and pulled my thoughts back to reality. I quickly turned off the fire, opened the lid, scooped a few spoons into the pot and boiled them for a while. After observing for a while, I turned off the fire.
I walked back into the living room. Lou Shaotang still had not woken up, so I looked at the clock. It was already 6.
I carried the porridge to the kitchen table, filled a bowl for myself, and took out the only package of pickles left in the fridge. Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, his phone in his bag rang.
While I was wondering who was looking for me so early in the morning, I went to get my phone and was shocked when I saw it was Qiao Chenfei.
With one hand on my cell phone and the other on my chest, I tried to calm my flustered emotions.
After a moment, I regained my composure and slid open the answer button. "Hello?" I said something in a deliberately slurred voice, pretending that I was still in the middle of my sleep.
"Xiao Ying, you didn't come home last night?" Qiao Chenfei's worried voice sounded in my ears.
I was surprised. He couldn't have come to my house like last time, could he?
"Oh, yes." I quickly responded, "I'm staying at Shu Qiao's place." He knew that I was with Shu Qiao last night, so I believe that he wouldn't doubt me if I said that.
The other side of the phone suddenly went silent, but it was only for a few seconds, then Qiao Chenfei continued: "You didn't tell me, I even specifically bought breakfast for you."
Only after hearing him say so did I remember that he mentioned yesterday that he wanted to eat some morning tea from a Cantonese restaurant. He said he would buy it for me today.
A wave of guilt swept across his heart.
"I'm sorry, I forgot." I immediately apologized and said, "Why don't you eat it yourself?"
Qiao Chenfei was silent again.
"Fine." After a moment, he sighed and said, somewhat helplessly, "Then don't forget to have breakfast. I'll come back for you at noon and we'll eat together. "
"Alright."
Staring at the words "end of call" on the screen, my heart felt very astringent. I knew that he didn't like Lou Shaotang and me getting involved again and again, but I didn't know why I had been bewitched.
Taking a deep breath, I put the phone back in my pocket and prepared to return to the dining table to continue eating breakfast. When I turned around, I saw Lou Shaotang sitting on the sofa, staring at me with his cold eyes.
