CHAPTER IX
On a summer evening, a cool breeze blows in the sky, and the golden sunset shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and reflects on the soft Persian carpets, casting a few dim shades of color. In the midst of these rays of light, the dust particles in the air were clearly visible, swirling and floating outward, as if slowly propelled by a large, invisible hand, away from the large bed in the room, which was covered by a silver-green curtain.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of fabric rubbing on the bed, and a long white tail went around the layers of smoky green curtains, reached onto the bedside table, circled the glass containing water, and smoothly retracted into the bed.
Lan Xiu rubbed the pillow nostalgically, lazily opened his mouth and drank the water in the cup, and then opened his eyes comfortably.
He has a rare pair of violet eyes, which everyone says are inherited from his great-great-grandmother, but the truth is that because he occupies this body, the difference in soul changes the color of the eyes. Just like his appearance, when Lan Xiu was first born, his facial features had many similarities with his family, but with the fusion of his soul over the years, now everyone can only find a little trace of family inheritance on his face, and he looks more like his previous life.
For a while, the Scott family also had doubts, after all, Lan Xiu was so different, every time they stood with Lan Xiu, outsiders would never think that they were a family. This kind of doubt was not dispelled until Lan Xiu pretended to be unconscious and changed in front of them once. However, after some jumping, the family had a new problem, they didn't understand why Lan Xiu turned into a little fox with a few tails, and he could also spell, which really seemed like a fantasy.
Fortunately, the Scotts have always had special nerves, and they did not seek any scientific or non-scientific means to answer this question, but found the answer in a family biography from hundreds of years ago. It was a book of legends rather than biographies, and it was recorded that the ancestors of the Scott family had wizarding ancestry and had been combined with various magical creatures many times, so that many of the descendants had special abilities and inherited certain traits of magical creatures.
Although Mr. Scott can guarantee that there has been no strange thing in the Scott family for at least a hundred years, he still firmly believes that he has found a reasonable explanation for the peculiarity of his youngest son. Otherwise, there is really no way, the child is biological, and he has been under the nose of his family since he was born, and it is impossible to drop the bag.
Lan Xiu occasionally felt guilty, and when he first incarnated and descended the mountain for the first time in his previous life, his parents warned him never to test the true heart of humans, because they were the most selfish and suspicious creatures in the world. So he would never be able to tell the truth, he had already regarded this family as his true relative, and could not bear the reaction they would have when they knew that he was just an otherworldly soul that occupied this body.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
A pigeon flew over the balcony, Lan Xiu shook the two pointed ears on his head, and stretched out a big lazy waist with six tails.
Well, if you're hungry, don't think about what you don't have.
He got out of bed and was about to call for dinner when there was a knock on the door.
Ning Sibo's voice came from outside: "Mr. Scott, there is a Mr. Yu Roe Yu and Miss Yao Ling coming to you, do you need me to open the door?"
Yu Ziyu and Lan Xiu thought about it, and he made an appointment to bring an assistant to meet him.
"Yes, please open the door for me. Lan Xiu replied, standing up and quickly walking into the locker room.
The door opened, and the trio walked in.
Seeing the luxurious layout in the house, Yu Ziyu quietly grabbed his pants and wiped the cold sweat from his palms. Before coming, Xian Yuqi ordered, Lan Xiu's next hotel expenses were all reimbursed by the company, he didn't pay attention to it at the time, who would have thought that Lan Xiu looked like a very good child, but he could make money so much, obviously he was still sitting in the old small noodle shop at noon to eat a bowl of noodles for twenty yuan, but in a blink of an eye, he lived in the presidential suite of the ultra-luxury hotel.
Yu Ziyu was very worried, what should I do, their company didn't make much money, and it didn't make much profit in the past few months, so it was not easy to pay for this hotel fee.
When Lan Xiu came out of the locker room, he had already changed into comfortable home clothes, he greeted Yu Ziyu with a smile, and then looked at the girl who was standing behind Yu Ziyu nervously and didn't know how to put her hands and feet, but she didn't forget to stare at him with a bright face, "Doesn't Mr. Yu introduce this young lady?"
Yu Ziyu was also very nervous at the moment, and when he heard Lan Xiu ask Yao Ling, he hurriedly pulled Yao Ling's arm and pushed it in front of him, and said with some stumbling: "Oh, oh, this is the assistant I brought you, she, her name is Yao Ling, she is an old employee in the company, she is very good at taking care of people, and she is also very clever." ”
"Yes, yes, I'm smart. Yao Ling shook her head helplessly, found out that she was wrong and quickly changed it back, blushing and nodding her head several times, like a chicken pecking rice.
Lan Xiu's eyes swept around Yao Ling, well, his face is smart and upright, and his body is also very healthy, if he can do the same as an old employee in that company, at least his work ability should be enough, and he is not small in his courage. To sum up, barely passing.
Yao Ling didn't dare to move, if she was usually looked at like this, she would definitely feel unhappy, but now she just wanted to shout: "I must be chosen! I must be !!chosen!
At the beginning, when she heard Yu Ziyu's introduction to Yi Lanxiu, she thought that the object she had to take care of this time was a little hairy child with a very good personality, but she didn't expect that the other party was a peerless beautiful boy, it was like coming out of the second dimension, and he was also the kind of beautiful boy who would have a luminous effect as soon as he appeared. The temperament looks particularly noble, and it is completely able to control this ultra-luxurious room, and the character is so gentle. If she can stay by the side of this beautiful young man, she Yao Ling will die without regrets!
"Well, I'll ask Miss Yao to take care of it from now on. Lan Xiu gave Yao Ling a grateful look, then looked at Yu Ziyu and asked, "Have you had dinner?"
"No, I don't. Yu Ziyu shook his head, he originally wanted to take Lan Xiu to have a good celebration, but now he can't say this anyway, the so-called big meal in his mind is not high-grade at all, Lan Xiu shouldn't look down on it.
"Let's eat together, Manager Ning, please help me ask the kitchen to bring dinner for three people." ”
Dinner was delivered quickly, and according to Lan Xiu's request, there were only two dishes in the table that were garnished with vegetarian dishes, which made him very satisfied. Inviting Yu Ziyu and Yao Ling to sit behind his left and right hands, Lan Xiu ate happily, his movements were a little fast, but he was still elegant and beautiful, looking like an ancient nobleman.
Yu Ziyu and Yao Ling were grumbling with hunger, but when they saw his posture, they didn't dare to move their hands while holding chopsticks in their hands, and they always felt that their eating appearance was too ugly and they would be embarrassed to eat.
Lan Xiu saw that the two of them were staring but didn't eat, and he was a little strange: "Why don't you eat it, is the food not to your taste?" I prefer to eat meat, you may not be used to it, I'll order some more." ”
"Don't, don't. Yu Ziyu and Yao Ling waved their hands again and again, this has already set up a table, and a few more people can't finish eating. And the price of this table is enough to make the hearts of the two of them bleed.
"Then eat it while it's hot, you're welcome. ”
"You eat first, you eat first, and we'll eat when we're done. ”
Seeing them like this, Lan Xiu simply put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked unhappily: "What's wrong with you, as soon as you come in, you are weird, if you have anything to say directly, I don't like to play dumb riddles with others." ”
Lan Xiu is not an ordinary person after all, his momentum is quite powerful, and he is always very intimidating when he looks at people with a cold face. Sometimes this kind of coercion that makes people furious behind his back is even unconsciously emitted, but the effect will not be reduced because of this.
Yu Ziyu broke out in a cold sweat, looked at Lan Xiu's face, didn't know why he was stunned, hesitated for a few seconds, and saw that Lan Xiu's face was getting worse and stronger, and then he said in a trembling voice: "My father-in-law has no income in the past few months, and the price here, Mrs. here is too expensive, and the company may not be able to afford it!"
After doing it for a long time, it turned out that it was for this, Lan Xiu said helplessly: "When did I say that I asked the company to pay me? I don't live in the company, and I am naturally responsible for my daily expenses." ”
"Then, then you still live here?" Yu Ziyu opened his mouth, and his face was full of expressions of "why are you so willful and spending money so indiscriminately", as if Lan Xiu's five-star hotel was something angry and resentful.
I really haven't seen the world, Lan Xiu glanced at him with disgust: "Don't look like everyone's little monster, you will be embarrassed if you go out." ”
Although he was disgusted, the compelling momentum on Lan Xiu's body disappeared, and Yu Ziyu spoke a lot smoother, "Lan Xiu, it's really too expensive here, I can rent you a good house, and the money here for a day is enough to rent a new house for a month." ”
"Needless to say, you have to worry about a lot of things in the future, but you don't have to worry about money. "It's strange that he has the impression that he has no money.
"Huh?"
"Ah what, eat it. Lan Xiu picked up the chopsticks and simply ignored Yu Ziyu with a sad face.
