Chapter 53 Do You Like Me?
Ji Dongyu strode out of the dining room, and Lu Ran quickly followed.

"I'm sorry, my friend," he said while pointing to his head, lowering his voice, lest Ji Zebei would hear him, he whispered like a mosquito, "he has a problem here."

Ji Dongyu: "I see."

Lu Ran smiled awkwardly.

"I'm leaving first, and I'll make an appointment another day."

Ji Dongyu walked towards the entrance without looking back.

Lu Ran followed and watched him go out.

"I suggest you stay away from people with abnormal brains." Before leaving, Ji Dongyu left her a 'advice'.

She could not laugh or cry.

Back in the dining room, Ji Zebei looked at her proudly, "He's gone?"

"Yeah." You walked away abruptly disgusted.

"Let's eat." Ji Zebei smiled and picked up the chopsticks.

Lu Ran sat back in her seat, but looking at a table of dishes that were almost cold, she remembered Ji Zebei's disgusting words about Ji Dongyu, and suddenly lost her appetite.

Ji Zebei, on the other hand, seemed to be fine and ate slowly.

"Is it tasty?"

Ji Zebei looked up at her, "Not bad."

"You have a good appetite, and you are not picky eaters."

"Not picky eaters, easy to feed."

Lu Ran smiled helplessly, watching Ji Zebei eat her dishes with gusto, couldn't help but think back to his series of abnormal behaviors today, and the fact that he deliberately disgusted Ji Dongyu, the more she thought about it, she The more I feel that this is Ji Zebei's performance of caring about her.

"Do you like me?" She couldn't help asking.

Ji Zebei choked on a mouthful of food and coughed.

She got up unhurriedly and poured him a glass of water.

His eyes were red from coughing, and when he regained his strength, the man blushed and said solemnly: "Are you still awake?" He didn't even look at her.

"You mean I'm dreaming?"

"You are not very young, but you have a high level of comprehension."

"..."

If he doesn't like her, then what is he messing around with today?

"You really don't like me?" She asked again without giving up.

Ji Zebei put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I'm done eating."

"You still have not answered my question."

"Balley, it's time to go home." Ji Zebei chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, got up and walked out of the dining room, and walked straight to the briquette on the sofa.

Picking up the briquettes with one hand, he looked back at Lu Ran who was still sitting in the dining room, and smiled faintly: "Thank you for your hospitality."

Lu Ran: ...

Ji Zebei just left.

Lu Ran sat blankly in the dining room alone, facing a table of dishes that had hardly been touched, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

When Ji Zebei returned home, he put the briquettes on the ground, walked into the kitchen and opened the door of the refrigerator.

The fresh-keeping layer of the large double-door refrigerator is complete with fruit and vegetable drinks. He took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the lid and took a sip, then sat lazily on the sofa and picked up a book next to him.

The chandelier above the head was shining brightly, and the incandescent light was a bit dazzling.

He curled the corners of his lips thoughtfully, thinking of the lies he told in front of Lu Ran, he felt a little ridiculous.

How could his refrigerator be empty?

How could there be a problem with the electrical system of his house?If there is a problem, the whole building will have problems.

He seems to have done some boring things today, which is really not his style.

"Do you like me?" Lu Ran's question lingered in his ears.

He frowned, his thoughts were inexplicably messy, he opened the book in his hand, but he couldn't read a single word.

The phone beeped.

He picked up his phone, and it was a WeChat message from Lu Ran. When he clicked on it, the content made him dumbfounded—Mr. Ji, do you like me?

A shy emoji was added after the text.

He was hesitant to reply, but before he could make a decision, the other party sent another string of cute emojis, and kept swiping the screen until the phrase 'Do you like me?' could not be seen anymore.

He didn't know what to reply, so he simply replied with a full stop habitually.

Lu Ran smiled when he saw his reply.

She could feel that Ji Zebei already liked her a little bit.

-

The next day.

Ji Zebei left the house on time at five o'clock in the morning.

Lu Ran vaguely heard the sound of the door closing next door. This apartment is good, except that the sound insulation is poor, but she is used to the sound of Ji Zebei going out in the morning.

She covered the quilt and continued to sleep, and when she woke up, it was almost noon.

It's all because she was too excited last night and didn't fall asleep until after two o'clock in the morning.

After getting up and warming up the leftovers in the refrigerator, she managed to fill her stomach. She walked into the study and began to write an exclusive interview with Ji Zebei.

She was busy until two o'clock in the afternoon, when Ji Zichen called. She stopped what she was doing and picked up the phone.

"Sister Lu Ran, are you at home?" Ji Zichen's voice sounded listless.

"At home, are you back?"

"At my brother's place."

"Your brother is at home?"

"No, he's gone to Brother Ye. Brother Ye just came back, and he's going to deliver the keys to the apartment."

"Come here."

She happens to be fine now, and just wanted to hear from Ji Zichen about Tao Biyao.

After hanging up the phone, she walked out of the study to the entrance to open the door. Ji Zichen was already waiting at the door, holding coal balls in his arms, and brought them along with him.

This scene reminded her of the scene yesterday when Ji Zebei knocked on the door several times with a coal ball in one hand.

The two brothers treated the briquettes really differently.

"come on in."

Lu Ran turned sideways and let Ji Zichen into the room.

As soon as Ji Zichen entered the door, he murmured, "Is there anything to eat at your house? I'm hungry."

There were some leftovers in the refrigerator, but she couldn't give Ji Zichen the leftovers from last night. Scratching her head, she said, "I'll order you takeaway, what do you want to eat?"

"Meat."

"Ok."

"And beer."

"You don't want the wine, do you?"

Ji Zichen is in such a low mood now, isn't he drunk after drinking?
"No, I will."

"……All right."

She didn't know Ji Zichen's drinking capacity, so she ordered two cans of beer, thinking it should be enough.

Unexpectedly, after the delivery was delivered, Ji Zichen saw that there were only two cans of beer in the bag, and Ji Zichen curled his lips and said, "Sister Lu Ran, why are you so angry?"

"..."

"Two cans of beer to get rid of me?"

"I'm afraid you drink too much."

"Brother, I will never get drunk with a thousand cups."

Lu Ran smiled wryly. Nine out of ten people who said that they would never get drunk were bragging.

"Then I'll help you get a few more cans."

"Here's a box."

Lu Ran swallowed, pondered for a while and said, "Then I'll go to the supermarket downstairs to buy it, and you eat first."

"it is good."

She didn't know why she pampered Ji Zichen so much, maybe it was because Ji Zichen was helping her and Ji Zebei match up, if he didn't take good care of Ji Zichen, how could he pick on his brother?
She went out with her wallet and keys, and brought a case of beer to the supermarket not far from the apartment building. When she got home, Ji Zichen had already drunk it.
