Ye Cheng didn't do what he thought. After all, who would he go on a business trip with? It was not something he was about to decide. Lu Xiao was probably more depressed than him.

After getting on the plane, he and Luo Ming sat together, while Lu Xiao sat alone by the window.

Shi Jiaoxu's seat was behind them, and he glanced here through the magazine from time to time.

After arriving in Province A, Luo Ming went first to arrange vehicles and accommodation.

Ye Cheng was responsible for pushing the luggage. Fortunately, Lu Xiao didn't want to squeeze him and waved to him: "Come here."

They brought a total of three suitcases. Ye Cheng thought he would share one suitcase, but unexpectedly, he took two of them and pushed them forward, one to the left and the other to the right.

Just when Ye Cheng was feeling a little grateful, Lu Xiao lowered his voice and said, "The one sitting behind you on the plane? He's been following you? We, can't be some stalkers, right?"

Ye Cheng's heart suddenly rose to his throat and he glanced back. Shi Jiaxu turned his head and looked away as if nothing had happened.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Xiao's mouth, and she looked at him through her sunglasses.

"How is it possible?... You think? It's too much, I guess it's just along the way." Ye Cheng said dryly, and his palms couldn't help but sweat.

"Is it true, but he keeps looking at you?" Lu Xiao said.

"Probably... I'm probably looking at you and think you're handsome." Ye Cheng said nonsense, hoping that this topic would be over soon.

Lu Xiao suddenly laughed, startling him.

"It's so fun when you make up stories. Were you so nervous just now? Hahaha." Lu Xiao approached him and teased, "Last time you went to my bar together, you forgot so quickly?"

Ye Cheng was stunned for two seconds, and then realized that Lu Xiao had already recognized Shi Jia Xu, who was clearly teasing him.

This naive little student!

How childish!

"Boring!" He said coldly and walked forward faster.

Seeing that he had offended someone, Mr. Lu quickly chased him dragging two big boxes, "Hey, don't run so fast! How dare you wait for your boss, be careful I will deduct your salary... Hey, wait a minute

I!"

Ten minutes later, the three of them got in the car.

Luo Ming was in the front row giving directions while Lu Xiao answered the phone.

"Grandpa, I'm here."

"Don't worry, everything is ready. Six o'clock in the evening, right?"

I don't know what the other end asked. Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "No, I think it's quite interesting to stay in the company. Why go to Canada?"

As he said that, he glanced at Ye Cheng seemingly casually, then chuckled into the phone and said, "Colleagues are very interesting, especially the new subordinates."

Ye Cheng frowned and looked at him, but Lu Xiao looked away the moment he looked over.

Ye Cheng felt uncomfortable all over, always feeling that he was hiding himself, but there was no evidence.

After arriving at the hotel where he was staying, while waiting to register at the front desk, Ye Cheng received a message.

It was sent by his university tutor Xu Weiqiang.

[Are you here? Do you want me to send a car to pick you up? 】

Yesterday, Ye Cheng told him that he was coming to Province A for a business trip. Xu Weiqiang was very happy and said that he happened to have a friend who was also a guest here and they could meet and have a meal together.

Only then did Ye Cheng remember that she had forgotten to tell him when she got off the plane, so she typed a reply: [No need, Teacher, I've already arrived at the hotel.]

Xu Weiqiang: [Are you free tonight? I will treat you to dinner.]

Ye Cheng was a little hesitant. He didn't know if he would have work tonight.

While he was hesitating, Lu Xiao said to them: "You guys should have a good rest today. I have a dinner party tonight, so I won't have a meal with you."

Luo Ming nodded in agreement.

Ye Cheng will be back soon? Xu Weiqiang said: [Okay, just send the time and address. 】

Xu Weiqiang made an appointment with him at 5:50, at a private restaurant fifteen minutes' drive from the hotel.

Because of his understanding of the traffic in Province A, Ye Cheng left the house ten minutes early.

As expected, it was during the rush hour after get off work. Fortunately, he came out early and arrived at the private room on time.

When he pushed the door open and walked in, Xu Weiqiang and another old man wearing a Tang suit were already sitting in the private room.

Ye Cheng bent down and said hello. Xu Weiqiang stood up and introduced: "Xiao Ye, this is the old friend I mentioned to you, Mr. Lu, the founder of your company."

Ye Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to have heard the word "Mr. Lu" somewhere.

"Hello, Mr. Lu." He said in a loud voice before he had time to react.

Lu Jinnan smiled and said: "Don't call me Mr. Lu, I have already taken a back seat. You are as old as my grandson, just call me grandpa."

"How can you take a back seat? Isn't the current Mr. Lu also your son?" Xu Wei said emphatically.

Ye Cheng suddenly remembered, Tao Juan, who had said that Lu Xiao was the grandson of a certain senior executive in the company... They happened to both have the surname Lu, so his grandfather was Mr. Lu?

Previously, he was still taking chances, hoping that Xu Weiqiang's old friend would never have anything to do with Lu Xiao. Now, he would offend him to death.

I just don’t know? What would Lu Xiao feel like if she knew about it?

What are you afraid of? Lu Jinnan glanced at his watch and said, "It's time for him to arrive. Why hasn't he come yet? This kid is too unpunctual. I have to talk to him properly."

In an instant, Ye Cheng's face was filled with despair.

Fuck, no wonder Lu Xiao said she had a date tonight, but it turned out to be this? Dinner party...

More than ten minutes later, Lu Xiao still hadn’t come.

Lu Jinnan was unhappy and asked the manager to serve the food first and started eating first.

Ye Cheng anxiously picked up the vegetables and ate, every bite felt like he was eating the last supper.

Finally, they were halfway through eating, and Lu Xiaocai arrived late.

The door of the private room was pushed open, and there was a sound of footsteps, accompanied by Lu Xiao's voice, "Sorry, I'm late, the road is blocked..."

Before he could finish saying the word "car", he saw Ye Cheng. The word "car" was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get up or get off.

He was still holding a huge gift box in his hand and stood there blankly.

Until Lu Jinnan put down his chopsticks and scolded, "What do you mean when you come and don't call anyone? I told you that the traffic here is blocked, but you don't know? Are you going out in advance? Look at Xiaoye, he's already here."

.”

Ye Cheng: "..."

Please, Mr. Lu, please don't brag at times like this.

Seeing that Lu Xiao's face was getting darker and darker, he bravely broke through the embarrassment and said, "It's the first time Mr. Lu has come to Province A. He probably doesn't know the situation here."

Xu Weiqiang also followed to smooth things over: "That's right, Xiao Lu is here for the first time. By the way, I suddenly thought, you two should know each other."

Lu Xiao said nonchalantly: "Of course we know each other, we can't see each other until we look up."

"That's good, we should help each other in the future." Xu Weiqiang said with a smile.

Lu Jinnan snorted coldly: "We're just helping each other. I think Xiaoye helped him unilaterally. Don't you know that in our family, we can only do things in three minutes..."

Lu Jinnan started to complain, as if he regarded Ye Cheng as "someone else's child". Especially when he listened to his talk during the dinner just now, he looked down on his own brat even more.

Ye Cheng was sitting on pins and needles, got up to help? Lu Xiao put the gifts away and quietly looked at his expression.

Lu Xiao seemed to be used to it. He sat down and poured a bowl of soup to eat. He seemed to have no interest in the conversation between the two.

After three rounds of drinking, the conversation between the two old men gradually turned to starting a family.

"Hey, this guy of mine, don't look at him. He is good-looking, but he just doesn't want to fall in love. I have introduced him to several people before. Either they think they are not good-looking, or they think they have no inner qualities, just like him.

It’s like you have so much inner self…”

Ye Cheng subconsciously looked at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao had almost finished eating, and met his gaze without hesitation, as if to say, "Look at what you are looking at, I will be more demanding."

Xu Weiqiang said: "Little Ye is the same. His grandma and I are urging him to fall in love. There are many girls chasing him in the school, from the east gate to the west gate, but he just doesn't like them."

When Lu Xiao heard, "There are a lot of girls chasing him," something complicated appeared in his eyes, and he touched Ye Cheng with his toes under the table.

Ye Cheng didn't know what he meant, so he hid aside.

Lu Xiao refused to give up and continued to chase and touch his feet.

Ye Cheng hid to the side again, and accidentally hit Xu Weiqiang's foot.

"Today's young people..." Xu Weiqiang was halfway through speaking when the conversation suddenly stopped and he turned to him with a strange look on his face.

Ye Cheng quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, teacher, please continue."

Lu Xiao clenched his fist to cover his mouth and laughed secretly, which earned him a blank stare.

After finishing the meal, Lu Jinnan asked the driver to drive Xu Weiqiang back.

The two juniors wanted to relieve themselves of the alcohol and walked back to the hotel.

The summer nights in Province A are hot and restless. There are many universities in this area, and college students come and go on the streets.

The two walked onto the overpass.

Lu Xiao put his pants in his pocket, looked at the college lovers passing by, and said with emotion: "It's great to go to school, why do people always realize this after working."

"Didn't Mr. Lu just graduate?" Ye Cheng said.

Lu Xiao shook his head, "I never went to college and was forced to go abroad for two years. That diploma was just a piece of waste paper. In fact, I regret not studying hard in high school. I really regret it.

I envy you serious guys who know how to live in college."

Ye Cheng didn't know what to say for a long time. After a while, he said: "Studying in college is just like that, cafeteria, dormitory, library, three o'clock every day."

He didn't know? Was this sentence a comfort? Although it was clearly Lu Xiao's own problem that he didn't study well in high school, the envy on his face still made Ye Cheng feel a little unbearable.

Lu Xiao did not answer, but looked at him and asked, "It's just three points and one line, isn't it? Are there a bunch of seniors chasing you?"

Ye Cheng: "..."

Lu Xiao seemed to be out of control and asked one after another: "How many times have you been in love? Are you a Neptune? No, you like men, so among the people chasing you, are there any boys?"

Ye Cheng suddenly stopped and looked at him with a cold face.

The next second, he left him and walked away without saying a word.

Lu Xiao stayed there for a moment and immediately understood his abruptness - he was used to being direct with those brothers, but Ye Cheng was different. He was a person who really didn't like others touching his private territory.

Lu Xiao discovered this from the very beginning of contact.

In other words, he is very insecure and will retreat reflexively if he is approached by an unfamiliar person.

Lu Xiao didn't think much, he ran to catch up with him and grabbed his wrist.

"I'm sorry, I said too much. Don't be angry." He blurted out.

After saying this, he and Ye Cheng were stunned.

Neither of them expected that he would apologize. Even Lu Xiao himself was shocked. He actually apologized to a small employee without thinking.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into awkwardness.

Ye Cheng originally didn't want to show off his face, but now the other party took the initiative to apologize, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Lu Xiaodong looked around and saw an old woman selling flowers on the overpass.

"Wait for me." He said to Ye Cheng.

He let go of his hand, walked towards the old lady and said, "I want all your flowers. How much are they in total?"

Ye Cheng didn't understand what he was going to do, so he walked over and took a look. There was a basket of blue roses in front of the old lady.

"All of them are not for sale." The old lady gestured gesticulatingly, "I want to keep one branch."

Lu Xiao said cheerfully: "Okay, except for that branch, help me wrap the rest."

The old lady smiled and wrapped the roses, handed them to him and said: "A rose costs 30 yuan, which adds up to 540. This blue one is a little more expensive..."

Lu Xiao took out his mobile phone to pay, took the flowers and stuffed them into Ye Cheng's arms.

"Here, I'm trying to apologize to you, don't be angry." He said casually.

After saying that, he deliberately turned his head away? Looking at the bottom of the overpass, he seemed not to care about Ye Cheng's reaction.

This was the first time Ye Cheng received flowers. He was a little overwhelmed holding the bouquet of crushed ice blue roses.

It's quite funny to say that there are indeed many people chasing him, but no one has given him flowers. This thing? Logically speaking, it should be used by boys to give flowers to girls.

The gradually changing petals stretched out softly, like shy and timid dancing girls, secretly releasing some charm in front of him.

The night wind blew through the petals and hair tips, and Ye Cheng leaned up and smelled it carefully.

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes and peeked at him from the corner of his eye.

At this time, a girl's voice came from the side.

"Grandma, you haven't left yet. I got off work late today, so I thought you had closed the stall."

Ye Cheng raised his head and met the eyes of a girl with long hair. The girl stared at him for a few seconds and blushed.

The old lady looked at them with a smile and said, "I left one for you."

The girl clenched her fists and mustered up the courage to walk up to Ye Cheng and said: "Well, my WeChat transfer can't be used. Can you help me pay? I'll add you on WeChat and go back to transfer.

for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiao sneered.

What an old-fashioned way to strike up a conversation.

The girl's face turned redder.

Ye Cheng thought for a while and said, "I'll pay for you. You don't have to pay me back."

Say?, scan the QR code and pay.

The girl lowered her head in disappointment, "Then... thank you."

Lu Xiao laughed beside her, and Ye Cheng nodded politely to her and walked off the overpass.

Lu Xiao followed him, and after a while, he walked up to him again, bumped his shoulder, and showed a wicked smile: "Why didn't you give that woman her WeChat message?"

"I don't like to add people randomly." Ye Cheng said lightly.

Lu Xiao's smile became even more obvious, "Then why did you give it to me?"
