At half past eight, Lu Jingshen arrived at the company. Liu Jie, who had arrived five minutes earlier, was waiting at the door of the building, waiting for him to go up together.
Striding towards the elevator, Liu Jie reported today's work arrangements. While waiting for the elevator, his eyes suddenly paused, and the words on his lips were stuck.
Lu Jingshen tilted his head and looked at him in confusion. Liu Jie came back to his senses and quickly continued what he had just said: "There is a meeting at 1:30..."
Lu Jingshen listened attentively, but Liu Jie's gaze could not help but drift to the back of his neck. A bright red mark at the root of his left hair was particularly conspicuous.
It’s only mid-May, and there don’t seem to be any mosquitoes yet…right
Lu Jingshen was absent-minded in the morning. Not wanting to regret it, he picked up his phone and sent a message to An Xin, saying that he wanted to go home for dinner tonight and asked her to ask Lu Jingqing and Lu Chixie to go back with him.
Her son suddenly said he wanted to come back for dinner. An Xin was of course happy. She asked him what he wanted to eat and asked someone to prepare it.
Lu Jingshen replied: "It's all right. Ask someone to make more. I'll bring a friend with me."
After talking to his family, Lu Jingshen looked at the time and saw that it was already noon, so he directly called Feng Si.
"I just came back from the cafeteria after dinner. What's up?" Feng Si's voice came with a smile, "Your flowers have just been delivered. Today's flowers were delivered on time."
Lu Jing took a deep breath and paused, then asked him, "What time can you get off work today? Are you free in the evening?"
"About five o'clock. What? You want to go on a date with me?"
Feng Si asked directly, and Lu Jingshen said "um", "Is it okay?"
"I'm afraid not. I just made an appointment with a colleague to have hotpot together in the evening. We didn't go last time. It would be bad if I canceled it again this time?" Feng Si's tone sounded embarrassed.
Lu Jingshen insisted: "Can you change the time if you have an appointment with a colleague? I want to see you tonight. I have something to tell you. I also want to take you to my house for dinner."
Feng Si: "Go to your house?"
Lu Jingshen said: "My parents' house, everyone in the family is here."
"So Mr. Lu came prepared? Doesn't that mean I can only stand up my colleague?"
Feng Si's laughter became even more joyful, and Lu Jingshen asked again: "Is it okay?"
"How can I say no now that you've asked me this?" Feng Si teased him deliberately, "You're more important, so let's meet tonight."
Lu Jing heaved a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll pick you up at 5:30."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingshen was still feeling uneasy. He always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't tell what it was.
A moment later, Lu Jingqing's WeChat message came in: "You told mom to ask Chi Xie and I to go home for dinner tonight? And you said you wanted to bring a friend back with you?"
Lu Jingshen: "It's just a simple meal. If you don't have anything important to do, go as much as you can."
It said "typing" and it took several minutes to reply, with only three words: "Okay then."
Putting down his phone, Lu Jingqing pouted at Lu Chixie, who was leaning against his desk with a gossipy look on his face, and said, "My date tonight, and your date tonight, are both ruined."
Lu Chixie smiled: "We can bring people home with us to make it more lively. He didn't say that we can't. Anyway, we will be a family in the future and will meet each other sooner or later."
Lu Jingqing: “Oh.”
Lu Chixie came to the company today to record a show.
