Chapter 54: Jojo's Birthday

Blocked all of Lu Ze's contact information again, Qiao Qiao washed up early and went to bed to get ready for bed, she didn't sleep well yesterday, and her mental state was not good, so she had to make up for sleep early to ensure the state of going to work. It's a pity that she wakes up from her dreams when she rolls around, and she always feels that there is Lu Ze in her dreams. The last time I woke up, it was three o'clock in the morning.

Qiao Qiao grabbed the pillow next to him and hugged it in his arms, staring at the ceiling in a daze. She felt that whether she was trying to break up or calm down, it was so difficult, and she couldn't help but wonder if Lu Ze was even more difficult.

What he did made her unacceptable, but he gave more than her in this relationship. Jojo wondered if he was already insomniac, and now he would have more insomnia, and then suddenly sat up, muttering about his nervousness, and at the same time feeling that his guess was probably true.

Qiao Qiao got up and went to the living room, she didn't turn on the lights, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor outside at three o'clock in the morning didn't turn on, Qiao Qiao's forehead was against the cold door of the living room, while feeling that it was stupid to do this, she opened her mouth and asked outside the door: "Lu Ze, are you outside?" ”

Hearing no response, Jojo thought he was being amorous and wanted to turn around and go back to sleep, when he heard a little footsteps outside the door. Lu Ze had always been leaning on the opposite wall waiting for her, and then she heard Lu Ze's low voice: "Qiaoqiao, I'm here." “

After a pause, Lu Ze asked her again, "Didn't you sleep?" ”

"I slept, I just woke up." Qiao Qiao leaned against the door and took two deep breaths before continuing to ask him, "But can you go back to sleep and don't wait all night with me." ”

Lu Ze leaned on the other side of the gate of Qiaoqiao's house and replied to her in a low voice: "I just can't sleep." ”

The two people inside and outside the gate leaned to one side and did not speak for a long time.

Qiao Qiao hesitated for a long time holding the pillow in his arms before he spoke: "Then you go home now, don't wait for me, okay?" You can't solve the problem except to put pressure on me. If you have insomnia...... Qiao Qiao was stuck for a while, remembering that Lu Ze once lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly and told her that she was his sleeping pill.

But if you are always so soft-hearted, you can't solve the bottom line problem. Qiao Qiao was ruthless and continued: "I remember that you also brought sleeping pills with you at the beach, you go home and take the medicine to sleep." ”

Lu Ze leaned against the door and didn't speak.

"Lu Ze, you said that you promised me everything except breaking up, is it true?" Qiao Qiao really couldn't take the silent Lu Ze.

"Yes." Lu Ze finally agreed to her.

"Then can you promise me to let me stay alone for a while recently, and don't block me like this." Qiao Qiao asked against the door, but he couldn't hear Lu Ze's answer.

It wasn't until she thought that Lu Ze was going to respond with silence again that she heard Lu Ze's voice outside the door agreeing to her, "Okay." ”

Qiao Qiao felt that Lu Ze, who was leaning against the door outside the door, got up, and the footsteps gradually left, but stopped, and came back again.

Lu Ze finally reached the door and whispered to her: "I'm really sorry." Good night, Jojo. ”

Listening to the footsteps of Lu Ze finally leaving, in the dark living room in the middle of the night, it was silent, and he could only hear his own breathing. Jojo leaned against the door of the living room and hugged the pillow, sad to death. She stared at her slippers and kept taking deep breaths, telling herself that this is a matter of principle, this is a matter of principle, what is the use of liking and soft-heartedness, this is a matter of principle.

After Qiao Qiao got up the next day, she finally returned to her original life track, she drove to work without Lu Ze, bought some breakfast near the office building and ate no love breakfast, ate with colleagues at noon and no longer went downstairs to the car to go to the car, and after eating dinner with Li Jinzhou at night, she went home without a jealous person, and after returning home, no one did not leave until half past ten, and no one always played tricks to live in the second bedroom.

Jojo no longer has any additional entertainment activities at night, just try to go to bed early, because the quality of sleep is poor when waking up from dreams recently, and he can only make up for it by prolonging his sleep time.

But even Qiao Qiao couldn't sleep well, and Lu Ze was even stricter.

Lu Ze also returned to the track of his life that had been bleaker for ten years, he didn't even have a job that required a 9-to-6 job to distract him, and the two places where he usually stayed for a long time were now poking his eyes and his heart everywhere.

There are still no entertainment facilities in his house, but there are small greenery and blooming flowers everywhere, Jojo likes hydroponic pothos, and his windowsill is full of transparent glass bottles, and the pothos leaves inside are round and vibrant.

Jojo loves flowers, and at that time he bought flowers all over the back seat and said that there were flowers in every room and corner of her house every day. Later, when Qiaoqiao was on sick leave, compared with her family, she also bought a lot of vases for Lu Ze's family, and at present, this wave of flowers was still bought together, and the two people's homes were dyed with the same summer seasonal fragrance everywhere.

Jojo likes swing chairs, often swaying on the balcony to bask in the sun and read, and has added a lot of childish pillows to his house.

Lu Ze can see Qiao Qiao Qiao everywhere he goes at home.

The other place he used to stay was even worse, and Jojo had only accompanied him to the court once. Every time he used to go to his closed court, it was full of insomnia pain and venting, and that time, it was full of charm and sparks between lovers.

Lu Ze, who had aggravated his insomnia, vented his fierce hitting against the wall in the court, but he added a problem, he sometimes stopped playing and playing, not because he was tired, not because he couldn't catch the ball, he just always had the illusion that he would see smiling eyes when he looked back.

His kitchen was also abandoned by him. In fact, before he met Qiaoqiao, Lu Ze often cooked for himself by himself, but now he doesn't want to cook, not only does he feel that it is boring to cook for himself, but he also always feels that there is one less person who will stick behind his back and rub him.

Even when he was pursuing in the past, there were a few times when he hadn't seen Qiao Qiao for a long time, but Lu Ze had never felt so empty and unable to grasp it.

Now Lu Ze admits that Qiao Qiao is right, he really didn't think of looking at her journal and looking at her computer as something very bad before. At that time, he may not be able to see her every day, but he can see her dynamics, her daily life, her joys and sorrows, Jojo's ten years of life, and even more distant youth, are also vivid to him.

He didn't have any nervousness when he pursued, although Qiaoqiao never let go of his mouth and didn't agree or even pretended to keep his face up, but he knew Qiaoqiao's reaction, knew that she was stressed because he was good to her, knew her hesitation, and knew her vacillation.

But now that feeling of certainty is gone, I can't hold on to it. He didn't know if Qiao Qiao was gradually getting a little angry, and he didn't know if she was secretly thinking about him, and he didn't know if she would be taken advantage of because she was in the cold war. The most important thing is that he doesn't know how long Jojo's stay alone for a while. I don't know if she really wants to break up.

Lu Ze was a little unsure of the time, but he remembered that the twelfth day after the Cold War was Qiaoqiao's birthday. He wanted to give her a very memorable birthday, but now he wasn't sure if he should be in front of her.

He couldn't send her a birthday message or call her on time to congratulate her because he was still on the blacklist. He didn't dare to go to her door to block her, it was a working day, and she was even more angry about delaying her work. Lu Ze didn't prepare any more expensive birthday gifts, he didn't think Qiao Qiao would accept them.

The flowers in his house have gradually withered, so so should be in Qiaoqiao's house. Lu Ze didn't buy the bouquet of ninety-nine red roses again, he just bought a bouquet of flowers of the season that were simply bandaged and put them in the back seat.

He didn't go downstairs to the company to block people, just thought about waiting downstairs at her house, waiting for her to come back from work, saying happy birthday to her, and if he could, bring these flowers to her again, and replace the withered flowers in her house.

Qiaoqiao, who has been in love with Xù and is also lost recently, didn't think about her birthday, but this birthday is still very lively. Many companies have birthday benefits for their employees, but Jojo didn't expect such a surprise.

In the afternoon, Li Jinzhou informed her that there was a temporary department meeting, but Qiao Qiao pushed open the door of the conference room and did not turn on the lights, and the entire conference room was pitch black, only the candles on the birthday cake were bright.

Listening to her colleagues in the department singing a happy birthday song to her, Qiao Qiao, who was smiling, hurriedly thanked everyone, and her colleagues asked her to make a wish in front of the cake, Li Jinzhou generously took out her mobile phone and smiled: "I'll take two photos of you and the cake." Then he froze two pictures of Jojo closing his eyes and making a wish in front of the cake candles.

After Qiao Qiao made a wish, she opened her eyes and blew out the candles, smiled and turned back and called her colleague at the door to turn on the lights so that she could cut the cake for everyone, but as soon as the light came on, she saw a large bouquet of red roses handed over by Li Jinzhou. Qiao Qiao was slightly surprised, and Li Jinzhou explained: "Take it, the department gives the employee a budget for his birthday." ”

The flowers sent by the company, although the roses were a little strange, Qiao Qiao still took them, smiled and said to everyone: "I will invite everyone to dinner in the evening." ”

But the dinner in the evening was still paid by Li Jinzhou, and the reason was still that the boss invited everyone to eat. Li Jinzhou has always been very generous, even if he pays out of his own pocket to treat guests, colleagues are very happy that the boss is so generous, in addition to not drinking during the banquet, it is also very lively, and the dinner party will not end until more than ten o'clock.

After dinner, Li Jinzhou said to send Qiaoqiao home, Qiaoqiao shook his hand: "I didn't drink tonight, I drove." ”

Li Jinzhou smiled, of course he noticed that Qiao Qiao had been driving to and from work by herself in the past ten days, and her boyfriend's car had not come to stand guard. He reached out and took the heavy rose that Qiao Qiao was holding: "Let's go, your car stays in the company." Tomorrow morning the meeting will be in the hotel, the company will send a car to pick you up, and you will drive back from the company in the evening. ”

Tomorrow's meeting will have a lot of participants, and there will be a luncheon after the meeting, so there will definitely be a drink, so tomorrow the company will send a car to pick up. Qiao Qiao recently accepted a lot of love from Li Jinzhou, and recruited a deputy for her, not to mention, the wine was all blocked for her, Qiao Qiao always felt that she was really uneasy because she had taken sick leave for half a month because of her body.

Li Jinzhou put the roses in the back seat and drove Qiaoqiao back. He knew that Qiaoqiao had either broken up or had a cold fight, but he didn't ask Qiaoqiao directly. He is not in a hurry, occasionally picks up, slowly draws up, and is quiet to her. Later, Qiao Qiao knew that he had already pursued it, and when she looked back, she naturally knew that these were all his care and kindness to her.

In the car, he also chatted with Qiaoqiao casually while driving, "What birthday wish did you make?" ”

Qiao Qiao smiled and replied: "Everyone celebrates my birthday, let me make a wish, I will cooperate, in fact, I didn't promise anything, and it wasn't when I was a child." ”

In fact, she made a wish, she thought that even if they were not together, even if they would break up, she hoped that Lu Ze would not lose sleep in the future.

Lu Ze was downstairs at Qiao Qiao's house, from six o'clock when she could theoretically get off work normally, until eleven o'clock at night when she usually went to sleep, and waited until she got off Li Jinzhou's car and took the roses that Li Jinzhou took out from the back seat, and then Li Jinzhou finally said something to her, Qiao Qiao nodded at him with a smile.
