When Song Zicheng finished holding the meeting, it was already 7 PM. He looked at his watch, thinking about the awkward look Lu Shaojie had when he called for him this afternoon, he directly got into the car.

"What's going on with this kid today?" Song Zicheng thought and directly drove the car to Lu Shaojie's house.

He took out his phone and pressed the familiar number. After a while, a blurry voice sounded out from the phone, "Hello?"

Hearing Lu Shaojie's voice, the corner of Song Zicheng's mouth raised slightly. This person looked like he was still asleep: "Still sleeping? Are you hungry? "

After Lu Shaojie returned from the army, he immediately rushed home. He thought that since the company didn't have any important matters to attend to this afternoon, they directly fainted.

He had not expected that when he heard Song Zicheng's voice, he would not be able to guess who it was at all.

"You, who are you?"

Hearing Lu Shaojie's words, Song Zicheng was startled, he did not know who the person calling was yet.

"Shaojie, who do you think I am?" As Song Zicheng said this, he already got off the car.

"How would I know if you didn't tell me?" Lu Shaojie squinted his eyes, his face was filled with fatigue. He had actually been lying down the entire time, and because he had understood how he felt about Song Zicheng, he felt a surge of pressure in his heart.

"You can't even recognize my voice?" Song Zicheng had already entered the elevator in Lu Shaojie's apartment and pressed down on the numbers on his floor.

This person was always like this. Just a simple sentence was enough to make his heart itch. It was as if a kitten was scratching his heart with its little claws.

Lu Shaojie heard the familiar voice, and was wondering who it was. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered to look at the screen.

Boom!

How could it be him? Wasn't he going to have a meeting?

"Squad leader, squad leader, so it's you." Lu Shaojie pulled himself into a quilt, thinking about how muddle-headed he was previously, to not be able to recognize that it was Song Zicheng's voice. To think that during the past few days, he had been thinking that this person was the one who slept bad every day.

Song Zicheng was already standing in front of the door to Lu Shaojie's house, took out the key Lu Shaojie had given him earlier, and immediately opened the door.

"Well, who do you think it is?" Song Zicheng looked at the place that was so familiar that it looked like his own room, and then walked straight towards Lu Shaojie's room.

"I-I fell asleep a moment ago. Sorry about that." Lu Shaojie muttered, but in his heart, there was sweetness, he thought that Song Zicheng was not as concerned about him as she used to be, but now that he had received his call, she was extremely satisfied.

"Well, if you're embarrassed, you don't need to hide in the quilt, do you?" Song Zicheng opened the door and saw Lu Shaojie using a blanket to cover himself. He frowned, this person was not afraid of making him fall sick.

"You, how did you know I was hiding in the blanket?" Lu Shaojie was shocked in his heart. This Song Zicheng was too godly, not only could he guess what he was thinking normally, they hadn't even met each other yet, so they knew what he was doing.

"Come out and see who's in front of you." Song Zicheng's mouth raised, just as he was about to pull Lu Shaojie out from under the blanket, a cute little head suddenly crawled out from under the blanket, and looked at him blankly.

Lu Shaojie slowly lifted the quilt, and when he saw Song Zicheng, he was at a loss, and blankly said: "Squad, Squad Leader …"

Seeing Lu Shaojie's current state, Song Zicheng immediately reached out and caressed his head, stroking his soft hair, and then said gently: "You slept for an entire afternoon?"

The moment he was touched by Song Zicheng, Lu Shaojie's heart tensed up, he wanted to dodge, but discovered that it was already too late, because no one could replace the peace and stability the warm hand gave him.

"Yes, yes."

"Hungry?" Song Zicheng thought that Lu Shaojie had just woken up, and that his brain had yet to clear up.

As he said that, he stretched out his arms intending to hug Lu Shaojie, but the person he just touched immediately dodged him, "I, I'll go to the washroom first."

Song Zicheng looked at the currently empty large bed and also the person he should have been carrying in his arms. At this moment, he had already escaped and entered the washroom.

Did he know something? Otherwise, why would she be avoiding him all this time?

Thinking about that, the originally smiling corner of Song Zicheng's mouth, suddenly froze as if he had been frozen for a few days, and was so stiff that he couldn't lift it up anymore.

The moment Lu Shaojie ran into the bathroom, he realized that his heartbeat was completely out of his control. A faint blush appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch his hair.

Just now, that pair of warm hands had caressed his hair, unconsciously giving him a sense of safety.

However, it was this kind of carelessness that made Lu Shaojie nervous and scared. Ever since Song Zicheng had invited him to dinner, he had endured the urge to not take the initiative to look for Song Zicheng, afraid that he would see how warm and gentle Song Zicheng was to others.

He admitted that he had different feelings toward Song Zicheng, but he had actually always kept this feeling in his heart. When he saw the way Qi Yunxiu and Jin Di were together today, he realized that he had really liked Song Zicheng, it was just that he had never understood it.

But what was the use of understanding now? Did he have to tell Song Zicheng? He had always remembered the day when they were having dinner together, when someone wanted to introduce Song Zicheng to someone, Song Zicheng's expression of anticipation had always been there.

He couldn't, couldn't bring Song Zicheng onto this road.

Lu Shaojie looked at himself in the mirror and thoroughly washed his face with cold water. Only then did he regain a clear head.

In the future, reduce your interaction with Song Zicheng and keep a distance from him … Lu Shaojie silently said in his heart. Then he walked out of the bathroom.

When Song Zicheng saw Lu Shaojie coming out, she saw his wet hair, so she immediately took a dry towel and walked towards him.

"Why are you so casual? Come and dry your hair." Song Zicheng habitually wanted to wipe Lu Shaojie's hair, but Lu Shaojie took the towel from him.

"I can do it myself." Lu Shaojie walked past Song Zicheng gently, and then, he took a deep breath.

Sure enough, once you got used to it, it was not easy to quit suddenly.

Song Zicheng was slightly stunned. He leaned over and looked at Lu Shaojie's back, and for a moment, thought that he had seen wrongly.

From the moment Lu Shaojie wanted to hug him just now, it was as if she had escaped, and then to that moment when he was deliberately distancing himself from her, this made Song Zicheng feel suspicious.

Had he done something that Lu Shaojie did not like? As he thought about it, he recalled it from this afternoon, but he realized that it was not there at all!

However, Lu Shaojie kept on telling him not to look at Song Zicheng. He didn't know if he would accidentally want to tell him how much he liked, like how he did this afternoon, and tell him that he only wanted to take care of him. He didn't dare.

Sometimes, in love, a person who was not considered bold would become even more cowardly because he was too uncertain. He did not know whether he should or not, and even felt that his liking would only bring burden to the other party.
