C22

When we arrived at the street corner, there was already a black Volkswagen parked in front of the entrance. Just by looking at the car, I could tell that it was definitely Lu Xu.

I jogged over happily. The person in the car clearly saw me as well. With a smile, he walked out of the car.

It had been a long time since they had last seen each other, but Lu Xu hadn't changed in the slightest. He was still dressed in casual attire, a faint smile on his face, a warmth akin to the spring breeze.

"Lu Xu!"

"Xiao Ya, it's been a long time since we last met. You look really pretty now." Looking at me, Lu Xu lightly touched my hair.

"Really? I've had a good sleep these past few days and I'm not as busy as I was before, so I might as well take a rest and get better. You too, that magazine doesn't care about our lives at all, only working overtime every day.

Now that I talk about that magazine, my anger is still there! Every day was a strong job, but the salary didn't increase at all. Every month's salary really couldn't be eaten or starved.

Seeing my huff and puff, Lu Xu laughed, "Don't worry, I've worked in the magazine for so long. I'm well aware that I've come here just to see how the environment you're working in is right now. Is it hard for you to work there?"

I shook my head. "It's much easier than the magazine. The salary is also much higher. The people inside all treat me very well."

"That's good."

"Alright, stop talking so much. It's rare for you to come here. Let me show you around!"

I held Lu Xu's hand, dragging him along to shop without saying anything further. It's already the weekend, and there's clearly a lot of people on the streets now. However, most of them still stared blankly at them as they aimlessly strolled along the streets, their expressions expressionless.

"The buildings here are all very unique." As he spoke, Lu Xu lifted up his camera and began shooting non-stop.

Lu Xu was previously a professional photographer for our magazine. The photos he had taken had previously been awarded an international prize, and he also had some occupational disease. Therefore, upon seeing such a unique picture of the ancient era, he couldn't help but impatiently start taking pictures.

"You can't take pictures here."

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind me.

I was so frightened that I turned around abruptly. I didn't expect that the one standing behind me was my boss, Feng Chuan!

Lu Xu glanced at Chu Yu, expressing his apology with a smile, "I'm sorry, occupational disease. The scenery here is just too beautiful, so I unconsciously picked up my camera and took a photo."

"Boss …" Why are you here? " I didn't expect that Feng Jun would suddenly appear here. I hesitated for a moment before asking in confusion. Shouldn't he be sitting in the shop drinking tea, reading the newspaper, or some other flowers?

He gave me a faint glance. "It's nothing. When Old Wen said that he wanted to cook, he discovered that there was no salt left. Let me take a look. Is this your friend from before?"

"Ah, this is the friend I mentioned earlier, Lu Xu." "Lu Xu, this is my boss, Feng Chuan."

"Ah, how are you, Mister Feng?" Lu Xu hurriedly stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Feng Chuan, but who would have thought that Feng Chuan actually didn't move at all. He merely watched Lu Xu for a while before turning to leave.

Seeing Feng Chuan like this, Lu Xu could only awkwardly withdraw his hand.

"Aiya, you don't have to care about our boss. He's just like that, truly like a god." I hurriedly said, while Lu Xu merely gave me a faint smile and nodded his head.

"I'd better take you somewhere else. There are a lot of things here that are very special. I can assure you, you'll like them after you see them!"

"Alright." Lu Xu maintained his smile as he nodded at me.

Thus, I brought Lu Xu along this street. The food here was very little, and when we passed by the jewelry store, Lu Xu picked up quite a few hairpins. I asked Lu Xu for so many hairpins, and he said he was buying them for his female colleagues in the company.

Fortunately, I had long since given up on liking Lu Xu. Otherwise, I might have felt a great heartache when I saw this scene.

Picking up the hairpin in his hand, Lu Xu's face suddenly turned deathly white. Following which, his body uncontrollably collapsed backwards. Fortunately, I quickly caught hold of his body.

"Lu Xu, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well!" I stretched out my hands to rub Lu Xu's head, only to discover that he had actually broke out in a cold sweat at some point in time.

"I'm fine, it's just that my head suddenly feels a little dizzy …" Stabilising his body and rubbing his head, Lu Xu forced out a smile.

"Forget it, let's not shop around anymore today. You should go to our shop to rest for a while." After saying that, without caring about Lu Xu's reaction, I supported him towards our store without saying anything further.

Sigh, this is all my fault. Because Lu Xu came to see me today because he was too happy, he didn't notice Lu Xu's current condition at all. I deeply blamed myself.

When we walked into the shop, I called out for Grandpa Wen. After hearing my voice, Grandpa Wen hurriedly came out from the house. When he saw me supporting Lu Xu, he hurriedly stepped forward to help me.

"Ya, this young lad's face is so pale!" Seeing Lu Xu's expression, Grandpa Wen was also given a fright. He hurriedly pulled Lu Xu onto a chair and poured him a cup of tea.

Lu Xu drained the cup of tea in one gulp, looking at him with a much better expression.

"Hmm, this tea is so fragrant. What kind of tea is it?" After finishing the water, he lowered his head and looked at the cup in Lu Xu's hand. The remaining fragrance was still there, but Lu Xu's complexion had indeed improved by a lot.

Grandpa Wen was stunned for a moment after hearing my question. "This is just ordinary health tea, you can tell it's an occupational disease just by looking at this young man's appearance. He's busy with work every day and doesn't care about his body, so now all the pain has come. So you youngsters must pay attention to your body!"

Is it just health tea? I lowered my head to look at the cup that Grandpa Wen had just poured for Lu Xu, the remnants of the petals that had just been poured out. If I didn't guess wrongly, this is clearly the scented tea that MinMin used to entertain the guests with.
