he most; one that was filled with feelings and romanticism.
Both parties had actually acquiesced to the next process, but Xiao Ke did not want to pull the progress bar as that cupcake that he had been craving for a long time, the more he craved it, the more delicious it was.
This was not only true for him, but for Zhou Zui as well.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ke closed his eyes before he rolled over with a smile on his face, thinking that Professor Xiao’s piece of cake was delicious.
However, Zhou Liwu was also very difficult to pursue since it had already been almost six months.
He was originally scheduled to go to the parlor on Saturday since his man was there for him to seduce, but he couldn’t stand it so he left early on Friday afternoon to drive to the parlor.
On the way, he also went around to buy a few roasted rabbits since their Lu Xiaobei especially loved to eat them.
Once he pushed the door in, Lu Xiaobei happened to be smoking outside and saw him so he whistled.
Xiao Ke handed him the lunch boxes he was carrying and asked, “Does Teacher Zhou have any work?”
“No,” Lu Xiaobei took the lunch boxes and told him, “Your Teacher Zhou didn’t sleep all night last night and is upstairs catching up on his sleep.”
“Didn’t sleep all night?” Xiao Ke raised his eyebrows.
Seeing Lu Xiaobei directly take out a rabbit leg and gnaw on it without washing his hands was a bit unbearable.
“What did he do to stay up all night?”
“Worked.” Lu Xiaobei was particularly content while eating so he ate as he said, “A little brother changed his flight and had to leave today, so my big brother rushed it for him.”
Xiao Ke frowned and said, “No one treats our old man like a human being.”
His old man was still a human being, and shouldn’t have to stay up all night long to work while missing out on his sleep.
The elderly group rarely work overtime as that would hurt their hearts.
Tsk.
Xiao Ke knew that Zhou Zui had rushed last night, because Zhou Zui was still in the shop when he called, and they had only said a few words before he went to bed.
He really did not expect the man to directly work an all-nighter.
Xiao Lin was talking to a tattoo artist in the inner room when she saw Xiao Ke, and she raised her hand to wave at him before he went upstairs.
The door to Zhou Zui’s bedroom upstairs was closed, but Xiao Ke didn’t knock and straightaway opened the door to head in.
Zhou Zui was sleeping soundly, and his breathing was steady.
Last night, the man did not go home, and did not shave so he had new stubble on his face.
The room previously had a chair, but it was nowhere in sight so Xiao Ke directly sat on the bed without being too close to Zhou Zui since he was quite careful when sitting.
As a result, as soon as he was next to the bed and before he sat down, Zhou Zui’s eyes opened and stared straight at him.
Xiao Ke unexpectedly met his eyes and was not psychologically prepared so he froze.
He finally reacted and smiled as he prepared to speak, but Zhou Zui suddenly flinched backwards.
Xiao Ke frowned and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Did I…Did I scare you again?”
This scene was inexplicably familiar as it happened once before so Xiao Ke reached out to pat him, but Zhou Zui didn’t let him touch him and right away sat up.
Xiao Ke’s outstretched hand was still frozen in place as he was baffled by Zhou Zui’s reaction.
He blinked and laughed, “You’re hiding from me, Teacher Zhou? Time to get up? Little princess?”
Zhou Zui stared at him and didn’t say anything for a while as he just watched.
Xiao Ke raised his eyebrows and whispered, “You had a nightmare? Don’t be afraid.”
Zhou Zui seemed to have returned to his senses only at this point and averted his eyes before he tightly scrunched his brow.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Ke tentatively reached over, and when he did not dodge, he gently patted him several times, “I thought you were sleeping quite well, otherwise I would not have sat down.
Sorry I woke you up.”
“No, it has nothing to do with you.” Zhou Zui shook his head with his head still down and his voice muffled, “Professor Xiao, let’s talk.”
“Sure, let’s talk.” Xiao Ke was surprised that this person wanted to talk as soon as he woke up, but he loved to listen to whatever Zhou Zui said so he obviously agreed.
Zhou Zui sat for a while longer before getting out of bed and saying, “I’ll clean up a bit.”
“Okay.” Xiao Ke could see that he was not in a good mood so he did not talk much.
However, the conversation didn’t work out after all as when Zhou Zui just came back from washing up.
Xiao Ke already stood up and said, “Sorry, let’s talk some other time.
My mom just called and said that my aunt is in the hospital, I have to go see what’s going on.”
Zhou Zui frowned.
“Oh, go on then.
Do you want me to go with you?”
Xiao Ke shook his head before he went over to him and touched his head with his hand.
He felt the stubble sticking to his hand, and then he tugged on his ear.
Xiao Ke whispered very softly in his ear, “Did you just get scared? I’ve patted your head, so don’t be scared.”
His hand did have a calming power, and the restlessness and anxiety in Zhou Zui’s heart now eased up a lot.
Zhou Zui said, “Go on, and don’t drive in a hurry.”
“All right,” Xiao Ke smiled at him.
“Don’t worry, it is probably hypoglycemia again, an old problem.
I’ll go check it out.”
In fact, as Xiao Ke had guessed, she was hypoglycemic and woke up after two glucagon injections at the hospital.
When she fainted, Dr.
Xu was also there.
Since they weren’t at her hospital, the ambulance took them directly there.
The hospital was not a good place to stay so when she woke up, she wanted to go home.
As there was nothing seriously wrong with her, she went her own way.
His cousin sent his aunt home, and Xiao Ke sent his mother home.
When they arrived home, Xiao Ke had to stay and eat before leaving so he sent a message to Zhou Zui, [She’s fine, see you tomorrow.]
This message didn’t have a reply from Zhou Zui as it probably was not seen.
His mom asked Xiao Ke what his plans were for tomorrow.
Xiao Ke said, “Why? Is something wrong?”
Dr.
Xu shook her head, “Nothing, just asking.”
Xiao Ke laughed, “My schedule is very full.”
It was true that it was a full schedule from morning to night.
On Saturday morning, Xiao Ke got up and went to the shop after cleaning up.
When he got to the door, there was a man who came in with him.
When the man raised his hand and pushed open the door, Xiao Ke saw that he had a knife tattooed on his hand with a human eye on the knife while the tip of the knife was pointed towards the web between the thumb and forefinger which was a cool design but looked too fierce.
The man saw Xiao Ke also wanted to enter, after pushing open the door, he smiled and made a gesture, indicating that he should go in.
Xiao Ke smiled and didn’t be polite, lifted his leg and went in.
He thought Xiao Lin was the only one in the shop at this time, but it turned out that Zhou Zui and Lu Xiaobei were both there.
Zhou Zui took Lu Xiaobei’s draft and gave him the illustration, saying that some of his lines were too superfluous.
Xiao Ke came in and Lu Xiaobei looked up and saw him before raising his hand, “So early…? What’s up?”
Halfway through his sentence, he saw the person who came in behind Xiao Ke and was a bit stunned at first, but after a while his eyes turned round, “What are you doing here, Mr.
Feng Lei?”
Xiao Ke looked back and saw the man smiling in the direction of Zhou Zui and Lu Xiaobei, then he bowed his hand and said with a smile, ” Happy New Year, big brother.”
