"When did you and he develop that kind of relationship? And, what is going on between you two now?" Lin Hao felt that there was a story between her sister and Wu Chengyue. She was already pregnant, but still didn't seem to accept him.
"What do you mean? There isn't that kind of relationship between me and him. We're only in a cooperative relationship. You know who my body originally belonged to. What she did has nothing to do with me, okay?" Lin Qiao glanced at him and said.
"Eh? Why did you sleep with him then? Was it just a one-night thing?" Lin Hao looked at her and asked another question.
"Just eat your food. Why do you have so many questions?" Lin Qiao gave him a glare.
Lin Hao dropped his head and focused on the food.
"I'm telling you, you're not allowed to tell the others that he's the father of my baby... not even Mom and Big Bro!" Lin Qiao warned him seriously.
"Alright, " Lin Hao mumbled to respond with rice in his mouth.
...
At that time, Lu Tong had already moved into his new flat. He didn't have the time to organize the place yet. It was a suite, including one bedroom, one living room, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a balcony. It was small, but fully functional.
If Lin Wenwen saw the bedroom, she would immediately recognize it as the bedroom that she had seen in her mind.
At the moment, Lu Tong was happily preparing the food he had bought from the canteen. The common residents in the base weren't able to cook in their own kitchens. The electricity supply in the base was still short, so not every family could have it. The people who had it could only have it for a limited amount of time every day.
Lu Tong believed that Yuan Tianxing would show up, because he had promised him. As far as he knew, Yuan Tianxing was a faithful person.
Lu Tong traded a few zombie nuclei that he treasured for a few great dishes.
He didn't know that Lin Wenwen was hiding behind a window in the building across the road, watching his every move through a telescope.
She had been having a strong feeling that things would go as she had seen in her mind. Yuan Tianxing was going to have dinner together with Lu Tong, and she felt that something was going to happen during the dinner.
"I thought Deputy Chief was going to invite him for dinner. How come he's having Deputy Chief over now?" Long Qingying looked at Lin Wenwen with confusion.
Lin Wenwen shook her head. She had no idea what Lu Tong said to convince Yuan Tianxing to go to his place for dinner. But clearly, Lu Tong had a purpose!
"Just wait and see. The show is on!" Lin Wenwen smiled coldly.
Lu Tong invited Yuan Tianxing to his place for dinner and asked him to bring a bottle of wine as his apology. He made it very clear that the dinner had to take place in his new flat, because he also wanted it to be a housewarming gift. If Yuan Tianxing disagreed, his apology wouldn't be accepted.
As Lu Tong repeatedly emphasized that he had no friends to warm his new home, Yuan Tianxing accepted his invitation without much thought.
Yuan Tianxing served the food on the table, then put two glasses of water on the table, before the two chairs. After that, he poured the drug that he got from Li Honglin into one glass of water. He expected Yuan Tianxing to drink it after dinner.
As a Deputy Chief, Yuan Tianxing was, of course, careful with the food he ate. However, Lu Tong acted like a kind and upright person in front of him, so Yuan Tianxing believed that he wouldn't do such things.
Lu Tong looked so weak and vulnerable, after all. Yuan Tianxing had no reason to stay vigilant against him.
As everything was prepared, Lu Tong curved his lips in a faint smile. However, thinking that he needed to make Yuan Tianxing lie upon him nakedly later after he was drugged, he turned his lip corners down, his eyes showing a hidden dislike.
...
Lin Qiao told Lin Hao to go after dinner, then heard Xie Dong report to her about all that Lu Tong had done, including how he got the drug from Li Honglin.
"This Lu Tong is really wicked, " said Lin Qiao expressionlessly.
Yuan Tianxing was straight, and had no interest in men at all. However, Lu Tong tried to take advantage of him in such way. If his plan worked, Yuan Tianxing would certainly feel awful.
Xie Dong stood straight by her side, his masculine face wearing no expression. Ever since he became a zombie, his face seemed to have lost the function of making expressions. He was always with a poker face.
He didn't respond to what Lin Qiao said, but Shen Yujen did."I don't think Wenwen is gonna let Lu Tong do it."
Lin Qiao nodded and said, "She sure won't! Lu Tong could have targeted at anyone, yet he chose Yuan Tianxing." Then, she said the exact same words as Lin Wenwen had said, "Let's wait and see. The show is on!"
...
Lu Tong didn't wait long before he heard the footstep sounds and knocks on the door.
"You're here!" Lu Tong put on a bright smile as he opened the door. Seeing Yuan Tianxing standing by the door with his subordinates, he immediately greeted the other.
Yuan Tianxing walked into the flat, his handsome face wearing a mild smile."How do you like this place? Is it okay?"
"It's perfect! I'm so happy to have it!" Lu Tong smiled humbly, then watched Lu Junjie come in behind Yuan Tianxing while holding a bottle of wine and two glasses. Lu Junjie put the wine and the glass on the table, then looked at the food on the table and stood aside silently.
Lu Tong gave him a few glances. He first guided Yuan Tianxing to his seat, then glanced at Lu Junjie again. He seemed to try to say something, but hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Tianxing noticed the look on his face.
Lu Tong turned his eyes away from Lu Junjie, then responded awkwardly, "I... I don't like being watched while I'm eating... Perhaps, he can eat together with us. Is that okay?"
While speaking, he stood up, seemingly to get bowl and chopsticks for Lu Junjie.
"No need! I'll let him wait for me outside, " Yuan Tianxing hurriedly raised a hand to stop him, then glanced at Lu Junjie. After all, most people didn't like being watched while they were eating. That would make them feel stressed.
Lu Junjie hesitated for two seconds. As Yuan Tianxing nodded at him, he turned and left, then conveniently closed the door from the outside.
Lu Tong sighed with relief. He was truly relieved. He had a plan to make Yuan Tianxing's subordinate leave, but didn't know if it would work. Now, as Lu Junjie had left, he felt better.
"You didn't spend all you have for these dishes, did you? You didn't need to make the dinner so luxurious, actually, " Looking at the four dishes on the table that normal people could hardly afford, Yuan Tianxing sighed.
"It's a must. This is my housewarming dinner. I also need to thank you for your help. We surely need some good food. There has to be something that can go with the wine, right?" Lu Tong smiled shyly.
