Chapter 60: What Is a Pheromone Bracelet?
Cool water sprayed out from the broken faucet.
Shen Chi could not dodge in time, while Lu Chenzhou did not dodge at all. Both of them were drenched completely.
And yet, at this exact moment, the system was still causing chaos in his head. [Oh, stop! Stop!]
Shen Chi fell into despair.
He was so stupid. What had he been thinking back then, believing that Lu Chenzhou, this domineering CEO, could wash dishes?
Oh, he remembered now. He had thought Lu Chenzhou would at most smash the bowls in his house. Just a few bowls. He could treat it as letting the domineering CEO smash them for fun.
But now, the domineering CEO had broken through his bottom line.
For example, right now, after seeing that the faucet was broken and water was spraying wildly, Lu Chenzhou actually tried to press it down with his hand by instinct.
Originally, the water had been spraying very evenly. Now, all the water was shooting straight into Shen Chi’s face!
With a heart as dead as ashes, Shen Chi reached out and wiped his face. Very soon, new water sprayed over again.
He could not wipe it all away. He simply could not wipe it all away…
Lu Chenzhou rarely showed a trace of panic. “Sorry.” While apologizing, he asked, “Where’s the water valve?”
“Don’t! Leave it to me! I’ll turn it off!”
Shen Chi hurriedly reached out to stop him. What a joke. If Lu Chenzhou broke the water valve too, then everything would truly be over.
Soon, Shen Chi found the water valve. However, the kitchen had already been completely destroyed.
Lu Chenzhou was like a husband who had caused trouble, at a loss after being chased out by his wife.
Shen Chi said, “I’m begging you, President Lu. Can you stand outside?”
Lu Chenzhou tried to help, but after one look from Secretary Shen, he became like a child who had made a mistake and could only obediently stand at the kitchen entrance as punishment.
There was water everywhere in the kitchen. Fortunately, Shen Chi had been poor back then and had not bought many things. He only needed to mop the water off the floor.
During this time, Lu Chenzhou did not just stand there and watch. He had the butler bring them two more sets of clothes.
This time, he did not play tricks and told the butler to send everything in Shen Chi’s size.
The butler was very fast. He brought two sets of clothes in different sizes. Then, seeing the two people drenched from head to toe, he smiled and said, “Youth is wonderful. Playing with water so early in the morning.”
Shen Chi felt even explaining would be useless. He looked numbly at Lu Chenzhou.
For once, Lu Chenzhou was too guilty to meet his gaze.
“Butler, I’ll go change first. Sit wherever you like.” After saying that, Shen Chi picked up the clothes and went to the bedroom.
Lu Chenzhou took his clothes and followed right after him. In the next second, the bedroom door slammed shut with a bang, almost hitting the bridge of his nose.
He took a step back. Rarely, he said nothing and instead turned toward the cramped bathroom.
The butler watched this tiny scene and could only marvel.
Secretary Shen truly was an excellent dog trainer… cough, wrong. An excellent secretary.
Because of the faucet, the two of them were unusually late that morning.
When the people in the secretary’s office saw Shen Chi change into another new high-luxury suit, the flames of gossip burned in everyone’s eyes.
“Good morning, Secretary Shen.”
After several months, everyone knew Secretary Shen was a good person. Especially Assistant Zhou, who had delivered clothes to him twice and considered their relationship decent.
He immediately used work as an excuse, picked up an unimportant contract, and approached him with a fawning smile. “Secretary Shen, what happened yesterday? You didn’t come to work, and President Lu didn’t come either.”
Shen Chi greeted everyone, then turned back and saw Assistant Zhou smiling like an ancient palace eunuch. Speechless, he took the document from his hand and slapped it against his face.
“Eunuch Zhou, asking about me is one thing, but asking about the emperor’s private affairs? Are you trying to die?”
Hearing this, Assistant Zhou immediately started acting. He curled his fingers into an orchid gesture and pinched his voice. “This servant is only concerned about His Majesty’s dragon body and Lord Shen’s health. How is that asking about private affairs?”
Shen Chi gave a cold laugh. Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Lu Chenzhou suddenly appeared in the secretary’s office.
“Assistant Zhou, I haven’t seen you for one day. Did you fly to Thailand for surgery?”
His tongue was as venomous as ever, startling Assistant Zhou.
Assistant Zhou immediately put away his orchid fingers, but forgot to turn off his pinched voice. “No… cough… no.” He returned to normal and said, “I was just asking how Secretary Shen’s health is. If he still isn’t well, I’ll have someone reduce his workload.”
Assistant Zhou was the chief assistant. Although Shen Chi had passed his probation, he was still technically in his internship period. Most of his work came from Secretary Xu and Assistant Zhou.
Lu Chenzhou glanced at him and said nothing. Instead, he told Shen Chi to come out.
There had been a major accident this morning, so he planned to properly coax Secretary Shen. Thinking that Shen Chi had not eaten much in the morning, he had someone prepare many fresh fruits.
But just as the two of them walked out of the secretary’s office, the receptionist suddenly ran over from the corridor, holding a huge bouquet of flowers.
“Secretary Shen, flowers for you!”
The red roses were bright and dripping with beauty. The bouquet was so large that it covered the receptionist’s head.
Shen Chi was a little stunned. Who would send him flowers?
The receptionist said, “Secretary Shen, hurry and take them. They’re so heavy. I can barely hold them anymore.”
Shen Chi felt too embarrassed to let the receptionist keep carrying them, so he instinctively took them.
The receptionist let out a breath of relief. When she had been holding the flowers just now, most of her vision had been blocked. She had only seen Shen Chi and had not noticed Lu Chenzhou beside him.
Now that the flowers had been taken away, she waved her slightly sore arms and smiled. “Secretary Shen, your partner is so romantic. They even sent you roses.”
Shen Chi was dumbfounded.
Where did he get a partner? Schrödinger’s partner?
But with Lu Chenzhou beside him, he could only give a polite smile. Unexpectedly, someone became displeased.
“Is the front desk very free? Now you dare sign for any delivery and send it to the secretary’s office?”
The cold voice was wrapped with a trace of violence, scaring the receptionist silly.
She had not expected Lu Chenzhou to be here too, and quickly trembled as she apologized. “I’m sorry, President Lu. It was my mistake. I’ll return to my post immediately.”
The receptionist ran off. Lu Chenzhou stared gloomily at the flowers in Shen Chi’s arms.
Fresh flowers with a beauty—without a doubt, when the red roses were held in Shen Chi’s arms, they created an even more dazzling contrast against his snow-white skin. But the most dazzling one was still Secretary Shen.
He was like a beautiful scene that had stepped out of a painting and come to Lu Chenzhou’s side.
But Lu Chenzhou was extremely unhappy.
A sudden destructive urge rose in his heart. He wanted to tear the red roses apart, and he also wanted to excessively scatter the rose petals over Shen Chi’s snow-white skin before questioning him aloud.
—Do you like flowers that much?
—No matter who gives them to you, you’ll accept them?
His pheromones rose again. Lu Chenzhou felt the warning vibration from the pheromone bracelet. Right in front of Shen Chi, he expressionlessly removed it.
Shen Chi did not recognize the thing, but the system had a rough understanding of it.
It stared in shock at the bracelet flashing wildly red, then looked at Lu Chenzhou. Good grief, he had just thrown the bracelet straight into the trash can.
[Holy shit, danger!]
[The pheromone bracelet is flashing an overload warning!]
[Human, stop looking! Run!]
