Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

The next morning, Lu Hao left home twenty minutes early.

He went to the place where he had shaken off Su Yu the night before, looked around, and saw no bloodstains, so he figured Su Yu hadn't been bitten.

With that in mind, he was relieved.

Turning around, I walked towards the steamed bun shop next door. As soon as I arrived at the shop, I heard the shopkeeper and his wife talking.

"What era are we living in? There are still people who don't believe that throwing meat buns to a dog means they're gone forever."

"Who cares? They paid for it anyway, let whoever wants to eat it eat it."

Lu Hao became interested and asked the proprietress, "Sister Li, what kind of 'throwing meat buns at a dog' is this?"

The proprietress quickly turned around and saw it was Lu Hao. She laughed and said, "A very pretty girl just came in and bought a big bag of steamed buns. She said she was going to beat up a dog. It was hilarious."

"They're not wrong. First, feed the dog until it's stuffed with buns, then use the remaining buns to fight it, and it'll come back."

"Your thought process is just like that girl's."

Sister Li was both amused and exasperated. She packed the buns for Lu Hao and handed them to him.

"If a girl comes next time, Sister Li, could you introduce me to her?" Lu Hao said, then turned around with the steamed buns in his hand.

He was quite interested in the girl that Sister Li had mentioned.

Feeding dogs is fine, but to say it in such a "vicious" way is quite interesting.

Upon arriving at the company, Lu Hao swiped his clock in, something he hadn't done in a long time.

He glanced into the glass room but didn't see Lin Ran.

That's strange. Lin Ran is never late, so why isn't she here yet, even though it's already past the appointed time?

Lu Hao sat down at his workstation, took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Ran, but did not receive a reply.

Just as he was about to make a call to ask, Li Xu patted him on the shoulder from behind, "Holy crap, Brother Lu, what a rare guest! I can't believe I saw you so early in the morning."

Lu Hao slapped his hand away, turned around and asked, "Where's Team Leader Lin? I haven't seen her today."

"She said she wasn't feeling well today and is resting. Didn't you see the group messages?"

Lu Hao shrugged; he had already muted the group chat. These days, who cares about group messages when they're slacking off?

But Lin Ran is not feeling well. Could it be because of yesterday's disappointment, which led to a bad mood and then caused him to become anxious?

Thinking about how she had taken care of him over the past two years, Lu Hao felt he should go and see her.

Lu Hao got up, preparing to leave the company and go to Lin Ran's house.

Just then, Wang Ba walked in with Zhang Xiang, the leader of the second group.

"Your team leader Lin is off today, so team leader Zhang will temporarily take over the management." Wang Ba glanced around sharply before leaving.

Lu Hao was speechless. With Zhang Xiang in charge, he couldn't sneak away anymore. It seemed he could only wait until after get off work to see Lin Ran.

Zhang Xiang smiled and walked over to Lu Hao, patting him on the shoulder. "Come with me."

Lu Hao pursed his lips, got up and followed Zhang Xiang to the smoking area.

Zhang Xiang took out a box of cigarettes, opened it, and handed one to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao waved his hand, then pulled out his twelve-yuan Red Dragon cigarette. "I still prefer this one."

"You just haven't earned enough money yet. Once your standard of living improves, you'll naturally look down on this kind of trashy cigarettes," Zhang Xiang said to himself.

Lu Hao ignored it, took a couple of puffs, and then said, "You're looking for me, you don't still want me to go to Group Two, do you?"

"I've secured the manager's position," Zhang Xiang said confidently, his eyes fixed intently on Lu Hao. "The second team consists of my trusted men. Come and guide them, and I'll give you the position of deputy team leader."

Lu Hao laughed, "I'm really grateful that Team Leader Zhang thinks highly of me."

"Of course, I've always admired your abilities. It's just a pity that Team Leader Lin has been letting such a promising talent go to waste."

Zhang Xiang's words made Lu Hao wave his hands repeatedly. He took a deep drag, stubbed out his cigarette, and said as he exhaled the smoke, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't have any ambitions. Let alone deputy team leader, I wouldn't want to be team leader even if you offered me the position."

After saying that, Lu Hao turned around and opened the door to the smoking area before Zhang Xiang could speak.

Back at his workstation, Lu Hao looked rather grim.

Zhang Xiang spoke with such confidence just now. Did he give a gift to the person in charge of Xiyue Clothing? Otherwise, how could he be so sure that the manager's position is his?

If he were to actually become the manager, Lin Ran's situation would be even more difficult than it is now.

It seems he urgently needs to meet that woman from the bar.

Even if she doesn't adopt her own plan, we can't force her to adopt Zhang Xiang's plan.

"Brother Lu, wanna have a drink tonight?" Li Xu asked Lu Hao as soon as Zhang Xiang left the office area.

"Sure, same place, I'll be there later." Lu Hao agreed without any hesitation.

Anyway, he was planning to stake out that woman, and now that Li Xu had brought it up, he could go and freeload some drinks.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Hao greeted Li Xu and then went downstairs to the company.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

Su Yu was still wearing a white dress, the hem and her loose hair fluttering in the wind, just like in college, without any change.

She remains as charming and dazzling as ever.

While Lu Hao was still in a daze, a man walked over and prepared to strike up a conversation.

But when Su Yu saw Lu Hao, her eyes lit up, and she ignored the man beside her and quickly walked towards Lu Hao.

Lu Hao turned and ran without any hesitation.

"Stop!" Su Yu shouted, lifting her skirt as she chased after him.

It was rush hour, and the crowds were huge. Lu Hao disappeared into the throng in a few quick movements.

Without any hesitation, he got into a taxi parked by the roadside and gave Lin Ran's address.

As the car started moving, he glanced back a few times and saw the figure standing by the roadside, looking around. After turning a corner, the white figure disappeared from Lu Hao's sight.

……

Tomato Community.

Lu Hao reluctantly paid the 30 yuan fare, cursed the unlicensed taxi driver, and then entered the residential area.

The neighborhood isn't big, it's a bit of a myth.

A few little kids were playing with something called a yo-yo in the square of the Central Garden.

One of the kids performed a move called "Silver Dragon from Beyond the Heavens," which drew cheers from the people around him.

Lu Hao sneered, "Just a basic move at level 1A, trash!"

Of course, if this kid really had a silver dragon surrounding him, then Lu Hao would admit he was awesome.

Lu Hao didn't visit Lin Ran's house often, but he still remembered the route.

Unit 2, Building 3, Room 1606.

"Knock knock knock~"

A moment later, a series of light footsteps came from behind the door.

With a creak, the door opened.

Lin Ran was wearing thin pajamas, her hair was a little messy, and her face looked somewhat haggard.

"You came empty-handed?" Lin Ran questioned Lu Hao, who had no hands.

"My presence here is the greatest show of sincerity."

Lin Ran shook her head slightly, having long been aware of Lu Hao's shamelessness.

She turned around, squatted down, took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and placed them on the floor. "Change your shoes."

As Lu Hao changed his shoes, he asked, "Where does it hurt?"

"My period has started." Lin Ran walked to the sofa without turning her head, sat down, took off her shoes, curled up her legs, and picked up the blanket next to her to cover herself.

"Oh, and could you make me some brown sugar water?"
