Chapter 19

After the shoulder injury was completely healed, Ji Xiuran started to go back to the company to go to work normally. He didn't come over for a week, and there was a backlog of things. After a whole morning, he only dealt with about half of them.

It's almost lunch time, usually, if he's so busy, Ji Xiuran will usually ask the front desk to order a takeaway for him, which can save time, but today...

Ji Xiuran went downstairs to the restaurant, looked around but did not see Lu Jingyao, he deliberately slowed down, took the plate slowly and queued up, and finally——

"Xiu Ran." Lu Jingyao strode over to line up behind Ji Xiuran, "Are you busy in the morning?"

"A little bit." Ji Xiuran replied. He looked back at Lu Jingyao, thinking of what he heard in the nursing home yesterday and the things before him, he pursed his lips and decided to try it out, so he took a step back, intentionally separating himself from the previous ones. Distance, whispered: "Jing Yao, there are some documents that you need to look over, and I will send them to your office after dinner."

"Okay, but don't worry, you can give it to me after you finish your work in the afternoon." Lu Jingyao and him finished picking up the meal, and found a seat to sit down to eat.

After eating, Ji Xiuran went back to sort out the documents and went upstairs, knocked on the door of Lu Jingyao's office, walked in and handed him the documents in his hand, and then deliberately yawned moderately when he bowed his head to review.

Seeing this, Lu Jingyao immediately raised his head: "Are you sleepy?" He got up and pushed Ji Xiuran to sit down on the sofa a few steps away, and brought a pillow over: "If you're sleepy, just rest here for a while, don't work too hard, work It can't be done."

Ji Xiuran took advantage of the situation and sat down on his side on the sofa, with his head resting on the soft pillows. The air conditioner in the office was turned up. He looked at Lu Jingyao's busy figure walking back and forth, and felt inexplicably nervous in his heart.

Is Lu Jingyao really what he thinks?

What if he guessed wrong?

After resting at home for a few days, and being busy all morning without stopping, Ji Xiuran was just pretending to be sleepy, but now when he lay down, he became really sleepy.He closed his eyes, but didn't dare to fall asleep immediately.

The office curtains are drawn, making the room opaque, making it more suitable for a lunch break.In the dark, people's five senses are infinitely magnified, and the slightest voice can be heard clearly.

With his eyes closed, Ji Xiuran felt someone approaching him in front of him, and then a blanket covered him, not heavy but enough to cover his body.The shoes on his feet were taken off, and Ji Xiuran felt that Lu Jingyao stuffed his feet under the blanket so that he would not catch cold even if he slept in an air-conditioned room.

As the black shadow in front of him walked away, Ji Xiuran quietly opened a slit in his eyes, inevitably disappointed in his heart.

no yet?

Unexpectedly, Lu Jingyao turned back suddenly, Ji Xiuran was startled, and quickly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.He heard a low sigh from Lu Jingyao in the void, and then squatted in front of him, as if looking at him.

Ji Xiuran kept breathing evenly through his chest, for fear that Lu Jingyao would notice that he was pretending to sleep.After a while, he didn't see any movement from the other party, Ji Xiuran was about to fall asleep in a daze, when he suddenly woke up——

Lu Jingyao came over!

In the dark office, it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.Ji Xiuran's fingers hidden under the blanket trembled uncontrollably, and even his breathing became a little messed up. He tried his best to calm himself down, but his ears roared and his heart beat fast.

Lu Jingyao's warm breath gently brushed his face, and a low laugh came out of his chest. He seemed to be staring at him all the time, without moving his eyes for an inch.Immediately after the breath got closer and closer to him, Ji Xiuran gripped the blanket tightly, held his breath, and did not dare to move.

However, before Lu Jingyao could do anything, there was a knock on the door outside the office, and the warm breath in front of him disappeared instantly. He heard Lu Jingyao go out and closed the door softly.

So, it's really gone now.

Ji Xiuran opened his eyes, looked at the empty front, let go of his fingers gripping the blanket in desperation, disappointed.He moved his limbs that were tense and stiff just now, changed his posture and lay flat on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

He thought he could find out something, but nothing happened, but what Lu Jingyao did made him suspicious again.

If it's really what he thinks it is.

Ji Xiuran pursed his lips, turned to the inside again, and buried his face in the pillow, the remaining drowsiness disappeared completely, as if a cat's paw was scratching in his heart, not getting an answer made him very uncomfortable.

Should I try again?

Just as he was thinking, when Lu Jingyao came back, Ji Xiuran quickly closed his eyes, and the blanket on his body was pulled up again to cover his limbs, and then Lu Jingyao left without continuing to do other things.

Let's try again, Ji Xiuran thought depressingly.

At the end of the lunch break, Ji Xiuran took a nap and was woken up by Lu Jingyao.The curtains were slowly opened, and the sunlight came in. Ji Xiuran squinted his eyes, shielding his eyes with the back of his hands, and sat up after his eyes got used to the light.

"Did you sleep well?" Lu Jingyao poured a cup of hot water and put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"It's... not bad." It would be better if you didn't go out, Ji Xiuran complained softly in his heart, took a few sips from the water glass.Covered by the water glass, he secretly looked at Lu Jingyao behind the desk, thinking about what opportunity he could find to test him next.

After drinking the water, Ji Xiuran had no reason to stay here, so he reluctantly stood up from the sofa, took the documents he brought before his lunch break, and left the office.

There will be opportunities, Ji Xiuran comforted himself.

After finishing the urgent work at hand, Lu Jingyao opened the company system to browse at will.The company has a bonus that will prepare corresponding gifts for colleagues who celebrate their birthdays every month. The list of birthdays will also be published in the system at the beginning of each month. Lu Jingyao clicks on it casually and sees a name.

It's Ji Xiuran.

Lu Jingyao was stunned. There were too many things happening during this time, and he was too busy. He actually forgot such an important day!Moreover, Ji Xiuran's birthday is just three days away, so he doesn't even have time to make adequate preparations.

What better gift?

Lu Jingyao's business elite brains are completely useless at this moment. He has lived to almost 30 years old and has zero love experience. He has no idea what gift to give to his sweetheart on his birthday, not to mention that he and Ji Xiuran have not confirmed their relationship yet. , Sending a suitable birthday gift is extremely important.

As a last resort, Lu Jingyao opened the search site and entered keywords such as birthday and gift, but the results were not very satisfactory.At this time, a video call came in, it was the parents who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

The video was connected, and the parents on the other end of the phone seemed to be on vacation abroad. Mom was snuggling next to Dad. The two were talking and laughing, and seemed to be in a good mood.Lu Jingyao raised his eyebrows, a little envious in his heart.

"Jing Yao, mom and your dad are in New Zealand. Do you have any presents you want?" After a while, Mother Lu asked with a smile.

Lu Jingyao shook his head: "No, parents, you just have to have fun."

"Do you have something on your mind? Tell me, Mom, let me hear?" Lu's mother saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood, so she asked.

Lu Jingyao said, "I have nothing on my mind."

Lu's mother stared at him, and after a while she made a very sure conclusion: "Jing Yao, you have someone you like, right?" A woman's intuition and insight are always second to none, this keen sixth sense, It made Lu Jingyao familiar and helpless.

"Is it... a boy?" Mother Lu asked after hesitating for a long time.

Lu Jingyao looked at her through the phone screen, hesitating in his heart.

"Jing Yao, you know that mom and dad don't object anymore." Mother Lu waited for a long time but didn't get an answer, feeling a little disappointed, "Can't you tell us?"

"No." Lu Jingyao shook his head, so he could only confess, "It's because we haven't decided yet, or maybe...it's just that I like him unilaterally."

Mother Lu's eyes widened when she heard the words, and a guess came to her mind: "It's still the kid you were in high school?"

This time Lu Jingyao didn't hesitate, and simply nodded.

"Mom understands." Lu's mother and Lu's father looked at each other and said seriously: "Since you still like him, treat him with heart. If it's really not suitable, or if he doesn't think about you, don't force him. Mom and Dad will always stand by you Here."

"I know, thank you parents." Lu Jingyao's eyes were slightly warm, and he was touched by his family's understanding and support.

"Then let's do this first, don't be too tired at work, and cultivate a few more backbone experts." Mother Lu instructed a few words, paused for a few seconds, and said: "If you have any clues in the future, take them home and show them to your parents. "

Lu Jingyao said "um" and said goodbye to them.

A phone call interrupted his thoughts, Lu Jingyao continued to search, and suddenly Secretary Li came in to deliver something, he had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out: "Wait a minute."

Secretary Li stood still: "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Lu?"

Lu Jingyao looked at her, his gaze fell on the ring on her right finger, coughed, and asked, "Is Secretary Li engaged?"

Hearing this unexpected question, Secretary Li froze for a moment, then showed a shy smile, nodded and said, "Yes, I just got engaged last month."

"Then..." Lu Jingyao paused for a moment, hesitating whether he should ask or not. After a long while, he seemed to be desperate, and said with a solemn expression, "That's right, I want to give a birthday present to a friend, but I don't know what to give. I want to ask you to give it to me." What kind of gift does your boyfriend usually give?"

Secretary Li was startled again, and asked, "Are you a male friend?"

Lu Jingyao nodded seriously.

"That depends on what the other party likes." Secretary Li thought for a while, "Generally speaking, it's best to be able to match what he likes, otherwise it's a waste of energy and money. Basically, there are only a few things a man can give, it depends on how much you want." old. For the elders, tea calligraphy and painting are very good, such as..."

"Not an elder, not over 30 years old." Lu Jingyao interrupted her, and added: "Nor married."

"That's it." Secretary Li smiled awkwardly, and continued: "If it's a young man, they usually give clothes and trousers, and ties and ties are also good. Of course, it's a commemoration for the other party. Meaningful things are better."

After speaking, she carefully observed Lu Jingyao's expression, for fear that she might say something wrong, but the serious brows of the other party slowly opened, as if he was satisfied with her answer.

"Go and get busy." After a long time, Lu Jingyao said in a deep voice, just a moment ago, he already had the answer in his heart.
