Chapter 13

But at this moment, I felt my heart go cold.If Lou Shumo really wanted to abandon this research, what would he do with the remaining eight condoms?! Would I ever be able to return to normal!

After I finished my porridge, after carefully thinking about it, considering the rest of my life was at stake here, I spoke to Lou Shumo, “Senior, about your proposal just now, you should let me think about it for a few days.”

After Lou Shumo listened to me, he let out a chuckle and replied, “Okay.”

After that, he took the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, washing them.

I went back to bed to recuperate.

Initially, I wanted to continue pretending to sleep, but I didn’t expect that it probably made my body feel better, and I really soon fell asleep.

After my consciousness arrived in Lou Shumo’s apartment, I didn’t know what had happened in my apartment. Lou Shumo should have left after washing the dishes.

However, I anxiously waited and waited in Lou Shumo’s room. After two hours, I heard the sound of the door opening. That man could finally come home.

Damn, how could I be like a wife waiting for her husband to come home? It’s really fucked up.

After Lou Shumo came back, he didn’t go to the bedroom first. I was too lazy to adjust the perspective of the condom to look around. He probably went to eat dinner or something. After about twenty minutes, he returned to the bedroom.

After that, I only saw him holding his phone in his hand. His pair of long legs were folded underneath him, as he sat on the swivel chair by the computer. He seemed very happy, but there was no emotional change on his face.

It wasn’t until he looked at the phone screen, did the corners of his mouth rise. He even stroked the phone screen with his fingers.

What was he looking at? Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NovᴇlFɪre .ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

He looked so happy as he smiled.

Bored and curious, I decided to turn on the magical perspective of the condom, directing the viewpoint at Lou Shumo’s phone screen.

Then, I saw a familiar sleeping face that couldn’t be more familiar to me.

Lou Shumo, this guy, just took pictures of me sleeping while at my house! He didn’t do anything else to me, did he?!

Although I deeply suspected that he must have done something else to me, I didn’t have any evidence, so I could only give up for now.

After two hours, I woke up.

The first thing I did, after waking up, was to check my body. After checking, I didn’t find anything different. It seemed that Lou Shumo was still a gentleman.

Afterwards, I felt that I had more or less recovered, so I got up from the bed and intended to move around. I saw a note on the dining room table, presumably left by Lou Shumo.

“Xiaoyu, I didn’t want to disturb you when I saw you sleeping. There’s still millet porridge in the kitchen. Heat it up in the microwave when you’re hungry.”

“Next time, don’t stay up late. It’s not good for your health.”

“And it’s better if the condoms are not placed in such a conspicuous place.”

“If you need anything, you can call Senior. You don’t have to bear it by yourself.”

It was still followed by a long series of instructions and warnings, which was very similar to what my mother would say. How did I not see that Lou Shumo could be so caring before? It was really unlike his usual appearance.

Due to this surprise attack by Lou Shumo, I have come to accept the unpleasant fact, regarding his feelings towards me. I think there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Anyway, the person who had a crush on me was him. If someone was going to be embarrassed, it should be him. I’ll just pretend to know nothing.

Therefore, I didn’t hide from him the whole week afterwards.

However…… a very serious problem had emerged.

Since the day I got sick, Lou Shumo seemed to really plan on giving up his research on condoms. I was left out in the cold, in the box of condoms, for a whole week. I laid there every night, so bored that I grew mushrooms.1

If this continues, when would Lou Shumo use up all of the condoms ahh!

Since it’s like this, I might as well jump in feet first.

That Saturday night, I tapped on Lou Shumo’s WeChat and sent him such a message.

[Little Fish]: Senior, the research you mentioned last time, I have decided to do it with you. I will come to your house tomorrow night.

After sending the message, I felt that my phone became scalding hot as I waited for a reply. In that case, I placed the phone down and went to take a shower first.

After returning from the shower, Lou Shumo had already replied.

[Lou Shumo]: Okay, what time do you want to come over?

[Little Fish]: Around eight o’clock, I guess? Is this a convenient time for you?

[Lou Shumo]: Yes, pretty good. I’ll wait for you then.

Originally, I thought the conversation was over at this point. However, I didn’t expect Lou Shumo to send a few more messages.

[Lou Shumo]: By the way, Xiaoyu, I’m ready to open a company. When the time comes, do you want to join my company?

[Little Fish]: Wow, Senior is amazing! But why haven’t I heard about it before?!

[Lou Shumo]: Mn, it’s because the app has managed to do very well. Rather than letting other people acquire it, it’s better to manage it myself.

[Lou Shumo]: I borrowed the start-up funds from my dad. I had been making preliminary preparations intermittently before.

[Lou Shumo]: How about it? If you believe in Senior’s words, just join in. Except for the people in my family, I have only told you about this matter.

I don’t know if Lou Shumo invited me to join because he really took a fancy to my strength or some other thoughts, but I had always admired Lou Shumo. He was excellent in all aspects, and I believe that he will definitely succeed in starting a company.

For a tactless and impulsive person like me, who would be fired even if he worked part-time as a supermarket cashier, it would definitely be wise to follow Lou Shumo.

Growing mushrooms is a figure of speech. Not literally lol
