Ye Feng knocked on the office door, and said to the man who was staring at the screen in a daze: "Hongxi, are you still leaving after eleven o'clock?"

Lu Hongxi came back to his senses, pulled himself together and replied, "I'm checking some data, you should go first."

"Your waist is not good, I'd better take you back, it's so late, and we have another meeting tomorrow morning."

Hearing Ye Feng's persuasion, he thought about it too.Although I don't want to go home, it's too late now to really ignore my physical condition.

He turned off the computer, tidied up and went downstairs with Ye Feng.After returning to the community, I looked at my window from a distance. There was no light at all. It seemed that Zheng Zhuoting had already fallen asleep.

While walking, he was thinking about how to tell Zheng Zhuoting about moving back, and he arrived at the door of the house before he knew it.After unlocking the lock with his fingerprints, he pushed the door and found that the lights in the house were bright.

He froze for a moment before coming in.There was no one in the living room, he wondered if Zheng Zhuoting got up to drink water, so he wanted to hurry into the bedroom.As a result, when I reached the corridor, I saw the bathroom door was opened, and a person with only a towel wrapped around his waist came out.

Zheng Zhuoting took a shower after the night run, and he didn't expect Lu Hongxi to come back at such a good time, and the two of them were stunned when they met each other.

The warm yellow light in the bathroom hit the muscular body, and the wafting water vapor lingered around, like an invisible hand drawing Lu Hongxi's attention, until Zheng Zhuoting asked, "Are you back?" "It was only after he realized that he hurried into the master bedroom after saying "um".

Zheng Zhuoting was still standing where he was, Lu Hongxi's gaze on him just now was too obvious, which made him annoyed at his carelessness.

He returned to the second bedroom, glanced at the closed door of the master bedroom, and then gently closed the door.

Lu Hongxi went straight to the bathroom, took off his clothes, tore off the plaster on the back of his waist, and stood under the shower to take a shower.

The icy water curtain let the chill quickly permeate the body, and also calmed down the unconscious mind.But when he was applying the shampoo, the aroma reminded him of Zheng Zhuoting's mint and sweet orange lingering with the smell of tobacco.

He raised his head, let the water wash his face, and made up his mind amidst the chill.If Zheng Zhuoting didn't mention it tomorrow, he would have to mention the matter of letting that person move back.

Neither of them went out of the room that night. The next morning, Zheng Zhuoting prepared breakfast as usual, and when he wanted to sit down to eat, he realized that the door of Lu Hongxi's room was still closed.

He slept in the second bedroom without saying hello last night, and Lu Hongxi didn't come to ask.For such a tacit understanding, he should be relieved, but he feels depressed for some reason.

If they keep their distance like this, can they restore the good friend relationship they used to have?

If not, then the final result is likely to be estrangement until no contact is made.

Staring at the breakfast for two on the table, Zheng Zhuoting thought for a moment before standing up and knocking on Lu Hongxi's door.

This atmosphere cannot be allowed to continue.If Lu Hongxi wasn't really interested in him, but just felt awkward because of Huo Sen's misunderstanding and that question, then such alienation would be unnecessary.

He knocked several times before the door was opened.

After Lu Hongxi changed his clothes for going out, his eyes felt uncomfortable for a moment when he saw him, but he immediately regained his composure and asked him what's the matter?

"Breakfast is ready, let's go out and eat." Zheng Zhuoting said.

"Don't eat, there will be a meeting in the morning."

While talking, Lu Hongxi turned around and took the bag, and glanced at the breakfast on the table when passing by the restaurant.

The smell of fried noodles with scallion oil filled the whole room. He was so hungry just passing by the smell, but he still refrained from going to the entrance to put on his shoes.

With such an obvious attitude, Zheng Zhuoting didn't know what to say, so he could only watch him close the door and leave.

Back at the dining table, Zheng Zhuoting sighed at the noodles in the large glass bowl that had been specially filled with less oil and sesame paste, and went to the kitchen to add more seasonings.

After eating, Zheng Zhuoting packed up and went out.He also has a lot of things to be busy with, but compared to the usual time when he can directly devote himself to work, today he seems to be caught up in something, and he always unconsciously wanders off.

After signing the wrong document for the third time, An Jin finally couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zheng, are you in any trouble?"

He pressed his temple: "No, maybe it's because he didn't sleep well and couldn't concentrate."

He really didn't sleep well last night, and his eyelids were still a little swollen in the afternoon, so An Jin said, "Then stop drinking coffee, I'll make you oolong tea."

After An Jin went out, Zheng Zhuoting took the mobile phone beside him, unlocked it and opened WeChat.

Lu Hongxi hadn't sent a message since morning. This situation made him feel that Lu Hongxi was avoiding him.

After staring at the head portrait of a rose with black lines on a white background for a while, Zheng Zhuoting clicked on the window and typed a line of words: [I have to work overtime tonight, you can eat dinner by yourself. 】

After typing, he stared at it and read it twice. The more he read it, the more he felt that the meaning was not quite right, so he pressed the delete button.Then switch to the voice mode, and after thinking about how to say it, press and hold it. After saying the three words "me tonight", An Jin knocked on the door and came in.As soon as he let go, the message was sent.

Looking at the one-second voice, Zheng Zhuoting pressed the undo button.An Jin put the brewed oolong tea on the table, and handed over two more documents, saying that they were brought by the purchasing department just now, and asked him to confirm immediately.

He had no choice but to put down his phone, thinking about sending it later when he was free.But what he didn't know was that Lu Hongxi happened to be using his mobile phone when he sent the message, and when he saw it, he clicked on it, and the voice disappeared as soon as he heard the word "tonight".

Looking at the reminder to withdraw, Lu Hongxi frowned.

I thought Zheng Zhuoting would post it again, but I didn't expect that there was no movement after waiting for a long time.

He stared at Zheng Zhuoting's window, thinking about what this man wanted to tell him.

tonight?

Dinner together tonight, or do I move back tonight?

But no matter what, why did Zheng Zhuoting withdraw?

Did you regret it after you finished speaking, or did you feel that what you said was inappropriate?

Looking at Lu Hongxi with a serious expression next to him, Ye Feng couldn't help asking: "Did the conversation go well just now?"

Lu Hongxi just finished meeting with Orson to discuss the process and details of going to Australia for the show next month.Logically speaking, they are good friends with a good relationship, and Orson should not make any demands to embarrass Lu Hongxi.

"No, it went well." Lu Hongxi replied absent-mindedly.After Ye Feng nodded, he came back to his senses and added: "By the way, you can help me book a ticket to Rome next Friday."

"Roma?" Ye Feng wondered, "Why do you want to go there suddenly?"

"The teacher called in the morning and said that there is an important client who wants to be introduced to me." Lu Hongxi said.

"Okay." Ye Feng responded, and asked again: "Then shall I go with you on this business trip?"

"No, you stay and help me keep an eye on the progress of 'Wangles'."

After returning to the car, Lu Hongxi received a message from the fitness coach, asking him how his waist was doing after two days of rest.

He thought that today was much better, and if he continued to rest, the previous training would be wasted, so he made an appointment with the coach to go there in the evening.

Due to being busy, Zheng Zhuoting didn't remember forgetting to send WeChat until he got off work.When he picked up his phone and checked, Lu Hongxi had sent him a text message.

[I'm going to exercise tonight, so I don't go back so early.You can pack your luggage yourself, and I will treat you to a good meal sometime, thank you for taking care of me during this time. 】

Although the text doesn't say it explicitly, the underlying meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Zheng Zhuoting wanted to call back, but he opened the dial page and stopped.

What are you going to say when you call?

He leaned back in his chair irritably, a little confused as to why he had become like this.Obviously, they didn't have any problems before Huo Sen came yesterday.

But with Lu Hongxi's personality, if it was just a misunderstanding and he didn't mention it deliberately, he should easily expose it.Could it be that the reaction was so obvious this time because Huo Sen's question was really on his mind?

So, did Lu Hongxi really like her?

When he thought of this possibility, Zheng Zhuoting stared at the word "Xi" in the address book without blinking his eyes.

If it is true, it is really difficult to continue to get along with each other.

Rubbing his face with his hands in frustration, he remained silent for a while before clearing the table and leaving.After returning to Lu Hongxi's home, he walked into the second bedroom, opened his suitcase and packed his clothes.

On the day he moved here in a hurry, he only brought a few sets of clothes, and all the daily necessities were provided by Lu Hongxi.So he didn't have much to clean up.

After folding the pajamas on the bed, he went to the balcony and lowered the automatic clothes drying rack.When I was collecting my home clothes, I saw the pajamas hanging next to me. The dark green silk fabric was soft and slippery to the touch.

Lu Hongxi had several sets of such pajamas. When he slept together before, every morning when he woke up, he could see the skin exposed at the neckline of the pajamas of the person in his arms.

It's really white, even if the chest is flat, there's a kind of unbearable desire to spy more.

Zheng Zhuoting was stunned when he realized this thought.Staring at the collar of the pajamas, it took him a long time to recover.

What is he thinking!

Instead of looking at Lu Hongxi's pajamas, Zheng Zhuoting went to the place where his underwear was drying, and when he was about to collect his own underwear, he saw Lu Hongxi's again.

There was obviously a wide gap between the two pairs of underwear, and it was only then that he realized that Lu Hongxi always kept a distance from him when drying his underwear.He didn't realize it before, but thinking about it now, he actually did something wrong from the very beginning.

It's because he failed to draw a clear line, thinking that there is no need to avoid so many taboos in the relationship of friends.

The light in his eyes dimmed little by little, and the details that had not been noticed before were like methane rising from the bottom of the sea, constantly boiling on the surface of the sea, reminding him of those inappropriate actions in the past.

He put his underwear and socks in, and squatted in front of the suitcase to make the final adjustments.

There is basically nothing in the entire second bedroom, the only furniture is the mattress that I bought and only slept on for one night.

Maybe Lu Hongxi had already noticed at that time, that's why he insisted on buying a mattress to sleep separately.

After zipping the suitcase, Zheng Zhuoting stood up and pushed the suitcase out of the room.When passing by Lu Hongxi's bedroom, he stood there for a while, and finally left directly.

The fitness coach formulated exercises for waist recovery. Although he did not exercise much, Lu Hongxi was still exhausted.

Two hours of sweaty exercise can relax both body and mind, but after taking a shower, his mood is like the ebb of a river, and nothing can cover it up.

There was a message from Zheng Zhuoting on the phone screen, three simple words: 【I'm leaving. 】

It's like a farewell to never seeing each other again.

He stood in front of the locker, looked down at the three words, and didn't look back until his eyes blurred for no reason.

That's good.

he told himself.

At least you can still keep friends.

Biting her lower lip tightly, Lu Hongxi replied with the word "OK".

(See "Zhuo Ting has something to say" at the back, if you don't see it, exit and re-enter.)

The author says:

Zhuo Ting: Someone help me and tell Hongxi to take it easy, I'll be bent in the next chapter.
