Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Alienation

Lin Jie understood his lip movements and frowned. In terms of strength and appearance, he was indeed no match for Lu Quan, but Lu Quan was too arrogant. Xia Xia would not like someone like Lu Quan, who was too aggressive.

He raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, which was completely different from the silly smile in front of Liang Zhixia just now. He looked at Lu Quan and moved his mouth slightly: Xia Xia doesn't like you.

This sentence just hit Lu Quan's heart. He clenched his fists, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and endless malice flashed in his eyes, but he turned his head to look at Zhizhi.

Liang Zhixia was bored and scrolling through his phone when he suddenly heard Lu Quan calling his name.

"Xia Xia, I really didn't mean it last night. Didn't I hurt you?"

Liang Zhixia looked at Lu Quan in confusion. Why did they return to this topic again?

But he instantly thought of the bruises on his lower back that he saw in the mirror this morning. It was terrible. If you didn't know, you would think he was beaten in his sleep and it hurt when he pressed his fingers on it.

In fact, after hearing those words in the bathroom, he had been holding back a lot of anger. He looked into Lu Quan's eyes and said seriously, "It hurts, it really hurts."

Lu Quan was stunned. He was so jealous last night that he might not have been able to control the strength of his attack.

It was right for Zhizhi to ignore him today.

He was wrong.

"Xia Xia, I'm sorry, I'll be gentler next time."

Liang Zhixia: "..."

But to Lin Jie, who didn't know what was going on, this conversation was obviously wrong.

Fortunately, reason overcame emotion. Xia Xia didn't seem to like Lu Quan that much, and Lu Quan was deliberately guiding him.

He absolutely couldn't let Xia Xia be with such a person.

He pretended to cough twice, and sure enough, he attracted Xia Xia's attention.

"Xia Xia, would you like some iced coconut juice? It's my uncle's specialty drink, and it's never sold out."

Liang Zhixia looked at the boss who was lying at the cash register with his eyes closed, and whispered, "Your uncle is sleeping, no need."

Lin Jie showed his white teeth, "It's okay, he's not sleeping, he's just eavesdropping on us."

The boss with his eyes closed opened his eyes and cursed, "You stinky boy, how can you expose your uncle like this? Your uncle doesn't want face!"

Liang Zhixia opened her big eyes and was frightened and stood there.

When the boss looked at him, he had a kind smile on his face again, "Uncle will make you coconut juice, wait."

Lin Jie grinned and whispered, "Is my uncle very hypocritical? He calls me a little bastard every day."

Liang Zhixia curved her eyes, "I think your uncle is very interesting."

"That's true." Lin Jie said excitedly, "My uncle didn't run a rice noodle shop before, he was a bar singer."

I didn't expect that the ordinary rice noodle shop owner would be so unruly when he was young.

Liang Zhixia asked curiously, "Why did you open a rice noodle shop later?"

Lin Jie looked back at his uncle and lowered his voice, "Because he met true love, and was chased by a little girl to fall in love. Because my aunt likes to eat rice noodles, he went to the rice noodle shop that my aunt likes to eat as an apprentice, and finally opened a rice noodle shop."

Liang Zhixia likes to listen to these very plain love stories. Although they are completely different from the theme of his comics, the foundation is the same, both revolve around love.

One is the process of meeting, knowing each other and falling in love, and the other is a love that is directly acted out.

Anyway, it ends with a happy ending.

Seeing that he was very interested, Lin Jie reached out and took a photo album under the cash register, pointing to the young man with a rock style in the photo, and said, "Look, this is my uncle when he was young, isn't it magical?"

Liang Zhixia: "Really."

The photo album was placed in the middle of the table. In order to facilitate the explanation, Lin Jie stood up and bent slightly, and the two of them were almost close together.

Lu Quan, who was sitting on the other side and no one cared about him, had a dim look in his eyes and exuded a cold air all over his body.

He coughed twice, but Zhizhi didn't look back at him. She was still smiling and discussing the photos with Lin Jie, as if she didn't hear him. It

was obviously not like this before.

He pursed his lips, took out his phone from his pocket, switched to WeChat, clicked on the chat box with Zhizhi, and typed expressionlessly.

[L]: I miss Zhizhi so much (cat flipping belly.jpg)

[L]: Zhizhi, pay attention to me~

[L]: Zhizhi, what is she doing?

[L]: Kitten poking.jpg

Liang Zhixia's phone on the table kept ringing. Lin Jie took a look and said, "You reply to the message first."

The boss happened to have made coconut juice and brought it over to the three of them. He took the photo album and patted Lin Jie on the head.

"You showed your uncle's photos to others again."

Lin Jie was also very confident: "Aunt said it was okay."

The boss rolled his eyes silently, patted Lin Jie on the head with the photo album, and then went back to the cashier to continue lying down.

Ding Dong——

[L]: Zhizhi, dear, little dear, pay attention to me, okay?

Liang Zhixia drank a sip of freshly made coconut juice expressionlessly and typed a reply.

[Zhizhi]: I'll pay attention to you.

The next second, L's message came.

[L]: What is Zhizhi doing now? You didn't chat with me this morning (crying)

[Zhizhi]: I was in class this morning. I didn't ignore you on purpose. You know, I only like you.

The love notes say that online dating partners have no sense of security, so you have to say some sweet words from time to time to appease the other person's uneasy emotions.

[L]: Will Zhizhi really like me alone forever?

[Zhizhi]: Of course, I will like you forever.

If Lu Quan hadn't seen Zhizhi typing these words expressionlessly with his own eyes, he would really believe Zhizhi's words that she liked him.

He lowered his eyes.

[L]: I will also like Zhizhi forever.

[L]: By the way, the things I sent to Zhizhi will arrive next week, Zhizhi, remember to pick them up.

Lu Quan put down his phone and turned to look at Zhizhi.

The other party put down the coconut juice in his hand, his lips were rosy and plump with the water, he pursed his lips slightly, and lowered his head to type.

[Zhizhi]: OK^-^

[Zhizhi]: I'll get it^-^

Lu Quan leaned back in the chair, tapping the table lightly with his bony fingers, his eyes slightly deep.

His long eyelashes slightly drooped, covering the complex emotions in his eyes, and his lips moved slightly.

Little liar.

After Liang Zhixia replied to the last message, he looked at the time again. It was almost time for class.

He stood up and said to Lin Jie: "Lin Jie, let's go back to school."

Lu Quan sat steadily on the chair, just blocking his way out, Liang Zhixia had to say: "Brother Lu, let's go back to school."

Lu Quan, who had been sitting still, stood up and took Liang Zhixia's bag naturally. He said in a low voice, "Let's go."

After leaving the rice noodle shop, Liang Zhixia reached out to Lu Quan and said, "I'll take it myself. Don't bother Brother Lu."

Lu Quan put the bag on his back with a calm expression and raised his lips slightly, "No trouble."

Lin Jie stood on the other side and said, "I'll take it."

Lu Quan looked at him coldly, "No need, Xia Xia's bag, I'll take it."

His slender fingers rested on the bag strap, and his fingertips were tightly clenched, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch the bag away.

Liang Zhixia: "...Then thank you Brother Lu."

Back to school, as soon as he stepped into the school gate, Liang Zhixia felt like a thorn in his back. He pulled his bag back from Lu Quan's hand and ran forward while the two were not paying attention.

He said as he ran, "I'll go to the classroom first, bye!"

Lu Quan, who was caught off guard by the sneak attack, rarely showed a surprised expression on his face. He looked at Zhizhi running out like a little rabbit and smiled helplessly.

After being surprised, Lin Jie turned to look at Lu Quan. Without Liang Zhixia here, the two of them spoke directly.

Lin Jie: "You are not suitable for Xia Xia."

Lu Quan lowered his head and rubbed the knuckles of his index finger, and said lightly: "I am not suitable, are you?"

Lin Jie: "I am more suitable than you."

The sun shone on the man's particularly handsome face. He lowered his eyes, laughed from his throat, and said in a deep voice: "Just you?"

Lin Jie clenched his fists: "Let's wait and see. Besides, what identity are you using to warn me now?"

Lu Quan looked at the other person's back, and the smile gradually disappeared from his face, but a trace of uneasiness surged in his heart.

Zhizhi began to distance herself from him. Was she discovered?

Without the three of them knowing, a new post appeared on the school forum.

[Main building: Did you see the scene at the school gate just now? ! ! ! ]

[1st floor: Front row~]

[2nd floor: What? ? ? ? ]

[3rd floor: I saw it! Too exciting! It's a tit-for-tat! 】

【4th floor: What the hell what the hell what!!! 】

【5th floor: Put an ear.jpg】

【6th floor: The scene just now was tit-for-tat. When has the school hunk ever been so frustrated? Hahaha】

【7th floor: I was really afraid that the school hunk would punch the boy opposite. The school hunk's cold face was really scary】

【8th floor: It's okay to run away while the school hunk isn't paying attention. It's so cute, isn't it? Hahaha】

【9th floor: It's obvious that the junior has no interest in the school hunk. 】

【10th floor: What are you guys talking about? The school hunk doesn't like that freshman at all. They just happen to know each other】

【11th floor: ? When have you ever seen the school hunk carry someone's backpack? Even Xu Cheng doesn't get treated like this, right?】

...

【219th floor: Stop arguing. Let's vote. Which couple do you support? 】

【Voting options: A. School hunk x junior B. Lin Jie x junior C. None of them are good】

In the classroom, Liang Zhixia came early and grabbed three good seats.

He sat on a chair and looked out the window boredly. Two sparrows happened to land on the windowsill and chirped together.

Liang Zhixia took out his mobile phone, recorded this moment with the camera, and sent it to L who was pinned on the top.

You should share some daily life with your online love partner from time to time.

[Zhizhi]: A cute pair of little sparrows~

L seemed to be guarding the phone all the time. As soon as he sent the message, the other party replied.

[L]: It's really cute. Zhizhi, are you in a bad mood?

Just like before, L can always sense his emotions first.

He lay on the table, poking the phone screen with his fingertips casually, making a light tapping sound.

[Zhizhi]: A little bit.

[L]: Zhizhi, can you talk to me?

[L]: Big hug.jpg

Liang Zhixia hesitated for a moment and typed a reply.

[Zhizhi]: I thought I had a good relationship with him, but I didn't expect that he didn't like me all the time and pretended to like me very much. But I was only a little sad, really only a little bit.

Lu Quan on the other end of the phone stared at the "him" on the phone screen with cold eyes.

Who is the "he" Zhizhi is talking about?

Why are there always so many irrelevant people around Zhizhi?

He frowned and typed.

[L]: Zhizhi, stay away from this person, he doesn't deserve Zhizhi's love.

[L]: Zhizhi is always right, that person doesn't know how to cherish at all.

[L]: Zhizhi should take the initiative to stay away, otherwise that person will take advantage of your weakness, make an inch, and do something even more excessive. [L]

: I will always like Zhizhi.

Liang Zhixia was actually only a little sad. He looked at L's words of comfort. Although he looked a little strange and stiff, he still felt warm in his heart.

[Zhizhi]: L, you are so nice. I am not sad at all now. I will treat him as an ordinary friend in the future.

The bell for class rang outside the classroom, and he typed.

[Zhizhi]: I have class to go to, so I won't chat anymore~

On the other side, Lu Quan put down his mobile phone and stared at that "he" coldly. His eyes caught Xu Cheng who walked in with a yawn.

"Who are the friends that Xia Xia has a particularly good relationship with?"

Xu Cheng didn't understand, but he still answered Lu Quan's question reflexively.

He mentioned several names, and Lu Quan went through them in his mind and found that none of them matched.

Old friends?

He suddenly realized that he knew nothing about Zhizhi's past, especially in terms of interpersonal relationships.

Xu Cheng sat down next to him, rubbing his chin, and flipping through his phone.

Suddenly, he laughed out loud.

Before Lu Quan shot him cold eyes, he handed the phone to him, pointed to the most popular post on the school forum, and said excitedly: "Look at this post, someone in the forum actually said that you are jealous of Lin Jie, and the person you are competing with is your junior. Don't you think it's funny, hahahaha."

Lu Quan looked at the floor in the post, turned to the voting button below, and directly voted for A.

After throwing the phone to Xu Cheng, he said lightly: "Forward me the link to the post."

The vote in the post can only be cast by people within the school, and people outside can't even open the link.

Lu Quan looked at the voting ratio, and the number of people who voted for A was only 10% more than those who voted for B.

He raised his eyes to look at the cheerful Xu Cheng: "Forward the link to the group and let them vote A."

Xu Cheng said: "Aren't you always indifferent to this kind of thing? Is it because the target is your junior? Men's hearts are as unpredictable as the sea!"

Although he said so, he still honestly forwarded the link to various groups.

He knows a lot of people, so he can just forward a link and send a red envelope, which is a complete secret operation.

Soon, option A surpassed option B by a large margin.

Lu Quan was satisfied.

His fingertips stroked the phone case, wondering how he could let Zhizhi see this post.

Zhizhi would choose him, too.

The bell rang for the end of class, and Liang Zhixia had just packed up his books when he heard Fan Li hurriedly say, "It's raining heavily outside."

He reached out to open the curtains, and the two little sparrows that had been resting on the windowsill had disappeared. There was only the sound of rain hitting the window, crackling.

Jiang Ling frowned: "Did you bring an umbrella?"

Liang Zhixia: "No."

Who would have thought that it was sunny at noon, but it would rain heavily in the afternoon.

Three people stood at the entrance of the teaching building, and many classmates who did not bring umbrellas stood next to them. The rain fell quickly and urgently.

Liang Zhixia looked at the weather forecast on his phone: "The weather forecast says that this rain will not stop for a while, and it may even get heavier."

Jiang Ling put his coat on his head, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, it's quite refreshing to get wet in the rain. Do you want to join us?"

Liang Zhixia looked at the rain and thought of the heavy rain in his senior year of high school. Just like this rain, it came unexpectedly and the rain was icy cold.

Fan Li, who was standing by, saw that he was hesitant and said: "Xia Xia, don't get wet in the rain. You had a fever last time. Otherwise, I'll go back to the dormitory first and bring you an umbrella."

Liang Zhixia, who had come out of his memories, smiled when he heard Fan Li's words: "I'm not that fragile. It's really refreshing to get wet in the rain."

As he said that, he put his bag on his head and rushed out first.

Jiang Ling and Fan Li looked at each other and chased after him.

The laughter of the three people could still be heard in the rain.

Back in the dormitory, Liang Zhixia was soaked all over. He stood in the corridor on the first floor to block the rain, intending to drain the water off his body first.

A gust of wind blew by, and he sneezed.

After a few minutes, he saw that there was not much water dripping from his body, so he walked towards the elevator.

As soon as he opened the door of the dormitory, he saw a person standing in the middle of the dormitory. It was a young man who had met him once before, and he seemed to be Lu Quan's assistant.

The assistant heard the voice, turned around and saw him, and said, "I'm here to help Mr. Lu get a file."

Liang Zhixia nodded, stood at the door without moving, and planned to wait for him to leave before taking off his clothes and taking a hot shower directly.

The assistant wore shoe covers and gloves, rummaged around on the table, and finally found the file in the corner of the table. He said hello to Liang Zhixia when he left.

After the people left, Liang Zhixia took off his clothes and walked barefoot to the closet to get clean clothes, but he didn't notice a flash of red light on Lu Quan's table.

At the same time, Lu Quan, who was handling official business in the office, heard a sharp beep from his mobile phone.

He frowned and took the phone, and the screen of the phone directly displayed a picture.

Looking closely, it was a real-time picture of the dormitory.

Coincidentally, the assistant called.

Assistant: "Boss Lu, I have got the file. I will be at the company in about ten minutes."

Lu Quan frowned: "Did you touch something on my desk?"

The assistant was a little confused: "The file was found on the desk."

Lu Quan hummed coldly and hung up the phone.

The truth was found. The assistant accidentally turned on the surveillance camera that he had turned off.

This surveillance camera has not been turned on since the beginning of this semester. Unexpectedly, it was turned on by the assistant.

There was no one in the picture, but he noticed the clothes in the corner.

Zhizhi returned to the dormitory.

He used the computer to open the surveillance screen. His bony fingers held the mouse and slid the progress bar below the screen, pulling back ten minutes.

First, the assistant appeared, followed by Zhizhi who was soaked. He frowned and looked up at the window, only to find that it had rained without him noticing.

He looked annoyed. He should have brought an umbrella to Zhizhi.

The surveillance screen was still playing backwards, and his eyes were unconsciously attracted to it.

After the assistant left, Zhizhi was actually... glowing white.

The camera he installed at that time was the most advanced, and the picture quality was also the best. He could even see the small red mole on Zhizhi's neck.

His eyes then moved downwards, to her smooth back, white skin, long and straight legs, and delicate and lovely face... It was not

until Zhizhi walked into the bathroom that he came back to his senses from the surveillance screen.

He lowered his head to look at something that was beyond his control, loosened his tie with one hand, frowned irritably, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his gradually heavier breathing could even be heard in the quiet office.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Quan calmly switched the surveillance video to the small window and cleared his throat: "Come in."

The assistant came in with a damp face and put the documents in his hand on the table: "Boss Lu, the documents you want."

Lu Quan flipped through the documents and asked casually: "Did you run into my roommate in the dormitory?"

The assistant was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes, your roommate didn't seem to bring an umbrella, and his clothes were all wet."

Lu Quan carefully checked the documents, then closed the documents, handed them to the assistant, and said in a deep voice: "Ask someone to make a copy, and then you go to my dormitory to deliver ginger soup."

Assistant: "Ah?"

Lu Quan frowned: "Don't understand?"

The assistant immediately said: "Yes! I understand! I'll go now!"

The boss's eyes made him feel that if he was a step slower, he would have to pack up and go home.

In the dormitory.

Liang Zhixia had just taken a comfortable hot bath when he heard someone knocking on the dormitory door.

He opened the door and found that it was the assistant who had just left.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you?"

The assistant raised the thermos in his hand and said, "Boss Lu asked me to bring you ginger soup."

Liang Zhixia frowned, "How did he know?"

The assistant said, "I mentioned it. Boss Lu knew you were caught in the rain, so he asked me to bring you ginger soup. Remember to finish this bowl of ginger soup. Goodbye, I wish you a happy life."

Liang Zhixia had no choice but to take the thermos. After sending the assistant away, he put the thermos directly on Lu Quan's desk. He would not drink it.

Over there, Lu Quan looked at the thermos on his desk with a helpless expression.

So he shortened the half-hour meeting to fifteen minutes. After the meeting, he hurried out of the meeting room, took the car keys and left the company.

The department managers who were still sitting in the meeting room looked at each other. The meeting report was so bad this time, but Boss Lu didn't scold them. Was there really a miracle?

The assistant who was packing up the documents always felt that he had peeped into some big secret. Boss

Lu was so anxious, couldn't it be for his roommate?

Being nagged by managers from various departments, Lu Quan returned to the dormitory as quickly as possible. He shook his hair outside the door, and the rain flowed down his delicate face and into his neck. When

he opened the door, he saw Zhizhi hunched in a chair, chewing on a piece of bread.

It was small, looked unpalatable, and not full.

Just as Lu Quan thought, the bread did taste average. Liang Zhixia brought it from home, and there was a whole bag of it.

He placed another insulated lunch box on Zhizhi's desk.

"Dinner."

Liang Zhixia smelled the fragrance emanating from the lunch box, then looked down at the small piece of bread in her hand, swallowed her saliva, and looked away with difficulty.

"I'm full."

There was still one last bite of the bread in his hand. He lowered his head and was about to take a bite, but someone snatched it away.

Lu Quan supported his arm on the table, lowered his head and bit his bread. His slightly wet bangs rubbed his forehead, bringing the unique coolness of rain.

He widened his eyes in surprise. Lu Quan lifted his eyelids lightly, met his gaze, and then lowered his eyes and bit all the remaining bread into his mouth.

Liang Zhixia could only watch his bread being eaten by Lu Quan. He even felt a soft wetness on his fingertips.

"What are you...doing?"

Lu Quan said unreasonably, "You are not full now."

Then he pushed the lunch box in front of him.

Liang Zhixia stared at his face and said carefully, "Do you want to vomit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Quan's Adam's apple roll and swallow the bread.

Lu Quan didn't say anything. It seemed that he was too nauseous to speak.

He said nervously, "Then do you want to have your stomach washed?"

Lu Quan asked back, "Why do you need to have your stomach washed?"

He said as a matter of course, "Of course you ate my bread."

Lu Quan lowered his head and opened the lunch box while smiling and said, "Did you poison me?"

Liang Zhixia frowned slightly, "Of course not."
