It was already past three o'clock when Gu Lian woke up. Nian Nian slept so soundly with his little hands and feet spread out that his nose was almost soaked with snot.
She stretched out her hand to check the little guy's forehead and breathing, and then felt relieved after making sure there was nothing wrong. She stood up and remembered Lu Zechen. She looked in the direction where he was sleeping, but it was empty.
I got up and got out of bed, opened the door and looked outside, but there was no one there.
Probably hearing the noise she made, the secretary knocked on the door.
"Enter."
"Ms. Gu." The male secretary reached out and said, "Mr. Lu will be back soon. There is hot food that just arrived on the coffee table. You can eat first."
Gu Lian glanced at the coffee table. There were three or four food boxes in large and small sizes.
She thanked her and the secretary left.
She didn't eat at noon, and she was indeed hungry. She walked to the coffee table and sat down, and opened the food boxes one by one.
Because she is expected to wake up soon every year, she always eats big mouthfuls.
During the process, Lu Zechen's computer kept beeping for voice calls.
After thinking about it again, it rang several times in succession.
The sound was too loud, and she was worried that it would make the noise last year. She hesitated for a moment and thought about turning down the volume. Anyway, there was a record, so Lu Zechen would know that the other party had called when he came back.
I put down my things, walked to the desk, sat down, and touched the mouse.
The screen saver was on and she was staring at the screen when the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Lu Zechen approached from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he noticed someone in the direction of the desk.
His sharp eyes met Gu Lian's slightly surprised look.
He stopped and asked, "What are you doing?"
Gu Lian was stunned.
After reacting, he quickly retracted his hand.
In this way, it looked like she was deliberately looking at the things on his computer. Combined with Lu Chiwen's incident, it felt a bit like there was no silver in this place.
Her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably. She stood up and opened her mouth: "The beep is too loud."
Just in time, another voice call came in, and the voice was indeed quite loud.
Lu Zechen walked closer and scanned the screen, which was still just a screensaver. Then he looked at Gu Lian, his eyes clearly flashed with panic.
He reached over and tapped the keyboard. The screensaver disappeared and he turned down the volume.
Looking up, he found that Gu Lian was still standing slightly stiff.
"What are you afraid of? It's just a reminder. It's not like you'll be caught stealing trade secrets." He seemed to be joking.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Gu Lian frowned, walked around the desk, and walked back behind the coffee table.
I brought the porridge bowl and ate it dully.
She felt a little annoyed and felt like he was hitting her by saying this.
Lu Zechen caught a glimpse of her expression, thought for a moment, and roughly guessed what she was thinking.
"What about every year?" He was at a loss for words.
Gu Lian didn't raise his head and stuffed a big mouthful of porridge into his mouth.
Lu Zechen was helpless, and just as he was about to explain, the sound of Nian Nian's crying came from the lounge.
Gu Lian quickly stood up, put down his things and entered the lounge.
Lu Zechen followed, leaned against the door and said, "It's getting late, you can go home first."
Gu Lian hugged Nian Nian and glanced at the clock on the wall.
It's just less than four o'clock.
Lu Zechen: "I am the boss, I can leave early."
Gu Lian turned her back to him and realized that she had also said this.
When Lu Zechen saw that she was silent, he was not in a hurry. He gave her time to clean up, and he had to go out to answer two phone calls.
When he came back, Gu Lian had already wrapped Nian Nian.
He originally wanted to help her carry him, but she walked past him, her neck as stiff as a swan, and she didn't even look at him.
Lu Zechen wanted to laugh a little, but was not annoyed and put the bag she left behind on his back.
