Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 8 Forgot something

Once he had chosen which method to use to convince himself, Pei Yizhou's thoughts became very clear, and his reactions were as natural as if he were a habitual murderer.

He took the shocked Xu Jiayan away, and when he returned to the bedroom and faced Lin Lu's expectant eyes waiting for an explanation, he pretended to be uncomfortable and asked for some buffer time.

"I told him, but he didn't seem to believe it. Let's talk about the rest later. He's giving me a headache. Can you stay with me and sleep for a while?"

Lin Lu couldn't finish the question that was on the tip of her tongue. Seeing his tired and gentle eyes, she could only nod and say, "Then you continue to lie down for a while. You have to give him some time to digest it."

Pei Yizhou lay back on the bed, smiling slightly as he closed his eyes. The smell on the pillow and in the quilt was very familiar. They used the same toiletries, and the same smell stained each other. He liked it this way, and liked everything about Lin Lu to wrap around him.

Ghosts, Antarctica, time travel, anything abnormal, none of them mattered anymore, Lin Lu stayed by his side, his soul sank infinitely, and finally he fell asleep with a sigh of comfort.

Lin Lu was not as calm as him, she was even a little anxious.

Without legal identity, a cell phone to contact the outside world, and no money, Pei Yizhou's attitude was strange, and she doubted whether she could integrate into the current society like a normal person. Could he have been driven crazy by the nine-year search for her relatives and not allowed her to go out and meet people?
He wanted to wake him up and ask, but seeing the dark circles under Pei Yizhou's eyes, he couldn't bear it. He could only frown and wait patiently, hoping that he would wake up so that he could have an explanation.

As I was thinking, I fell asleep on my stomach.

I slept for a long time. When I woke up, it was dark. My palms were slightly sweaty. I looked around dazedly and found that I had been carried to the bed without knowing when. Pei Yizhou, who was supposed to be lying on it, was nowhere to be seen.

She walked towards the living room and heard a slight gurgling sound from the kitchen. The aroma of steaming rice filled the entire space. Pei Yizhou had changed into a white shirt and was cutting vegetables with his back to her. His shoulder blades slightly stretched the fabric of the shirt as he moved, and his broad shoulders and narrow waist made him look somewhat sexy.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and said, "Are you awake? I made yam and lean meat porridge and stir-fried seasonal vegetables. Try to see if you can eat hot food."

Everything was the same as in the past. Lin Lu was a little distracted. He walked into the kitchen and took a deep breath like he did in the past: "It smells good."

Pei Yizhou scooped out some porridge with a spoon and fed it to her lips naturally: "Try it and see if it tastes good."

This slightly intimate behavior was different from before. Lin Lu thought about it while leaning over to taste it, commented that it was okay, and then asked other questions indirectly.

"Brother, has Brother Jiayan come to his senses? Did he call to express his shock again?"

"I don't know. He hasn't contacted me yet. But you can take the initiative to contact him and ask." Pei Yizhou raised his chin and motioned her to look at the things in the living room. "You bought your phone. His and Ding Zitong's new contact information is in it."

Lin Lu was a little surprised. She thought she could only be a caveman recently, but the surprise came so suddenly. It seems that getting enough sleep can really improve people's work ability. The problem that had been missing for several days was solved in half a day.

She trotted over, picked up the phone, and began to study it.

That’s great. Now she can continue searching for Duan Chengyu’s identity information and try to find him as soon as possible.

Pei Yizhou didn't know what she was planning, so he prepared dinner and asked her to eat. Although the dining room was so spacious that the aroma of the food would only dissipate halfway when it was served on the table, when the light from the dining table shone on it, the hot steam lingered around the two people's smiling faces, giving them the same warm feeling of the past.

He was almost intoxicated by this atmosphere.

Lin Lu just got his own new mobile phone, and he played with it even while eating, poking here and clicking there, thinking that he could sort out and record the contents of his recent dreams while his memory was clear. The more he thought about it, the slower he ate, and he became absent-minded.

Pei Yizhou sat opposite her and couldn't see her phone interface. He knocked on the table and reminded her: "Eat well. What did Xu Jiayan say?"

"Ah? Oh, you haven't replied to me yet." After she answered, she sent the first sentence to greet Xu Jiayan.

Look, Xu Jiayan hasn’t replied to her yet.

"Brother, can I meet Ding Zitong? It's been a week, and I haven't talked to anyone except you." She asked after swallowing the porridge, showing her desire for normal social interaction at the right time.

Pei Yizhou seemed to have made plans in advance and nodded to arrange it: "How about tomorrow? Ding Zitong also works in the company, responsible for product development, and will only be available tomorrow, the weekend."

Lin Lu was curious: "She is also in your company? Is her university major similar to yours? I remember she said she wanted to be a police officer, so why did she choose to study and develop search and rescue robots?"

"How do you know that the company is developing search and rescue robots?" Pei Yizhou paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Have you searched with my phone?"

"Yes," she admitted honestly, "I wanted to know how you've been doing these past few years. But I saw the company introduction and it was gone. Jia Yan was banging on the door at the time."

"If you want to know anything, you can ask me directly, or ask Ding Zitong tomorrow. She studied engineering physics in college and joined the company right after graduation. At that time, the company had only been established for a year and a half." Pei Yizhou rolled up his shirt sleeves, picked up some food for her, minced garlic, taking good care of her. He also asked her what she would like to eat when he treated Ding Zitong tomorrow.

"Can't we go to her house or go out to eat with her?" Lin Lu wondered, "We don't have to be at home, right? It's too much trouble."

"It's very cold outside, and you're just beginning to get used to eating hot food, so it's not suitable to eat in a restaurant outside." Pei Yizhou was particularly at ease today, explaining everything flawlessly.

"Okay." Lin Lu felt weird but had no choice but to agree.

After dinner, it was time to go to bed. Lin Lu had slept all day and was not sleepy for the time being. He lay on the bed, opened the memo, and recorded the recurring dream while sorting it out.

[Duan Chengyu, Antarctica, crack in the ice, running towards me, tall and thin, with a nice voice, and a familiar name, we should have a good relationship, maybe even a relationship]

After writing, the cursor flickered next to the last word. She frowned, vaguely feeling that she should remember some important information. What was it?

When he was lost in thought, the door of the room was opened and Pei Yizhou walked in in the dim night with light footsteps.

Lin Lu quickly turned off his phone and pretended to sleep.

—— Pei Yizhou has been like this lately. On the surface, he still looks like a good brother, but he is always very invasive in some details. Thinking of the accidental kiss before the time travel, she feels uncomfortable all over, so every time this happens, she pretends to be stupid and pretends not to notice.

The familiar scent of Pei Yizhou spread in the darkness. Lin Lu pretended to sleep and actually fell asleep soundly.

Then I dreamed of Duan Chengyu again.
