Chapter X
Du Huan, who was far away in Jiulianwei, was a little dazed during this time, even Ji Xinliang felt it, and Lou Li and Nature also noticed it.
Taking advantage of the rest, Lou Lihe specially went to ask Du Huan what happened, "Grandpa, is there something wrong at home?"
Du Huan looked at Lou Lihe, "Lihe, did I tell you that I have a granddaughter?"
"You said your granddaughter is abroad and is also a doctor. ”
Du Huan said: "I haven't seen her for decades, but I heard a few days ago that she was coming to Lingbei. ”
A few days ago, Ji Jie specially called Du Huan and discussed with him about Lou Li and returning to Lingbei, and Du Xinyan was already coming to Lingbei.
Du Huan misses this granddaughter very much, when he left, Du Xinyan was still a baby girl, and now he doesn't know how.
"Your granddaughter is coming?" Lou Lihe was puzzled: "That's just a reunion, why are you worried?"
Du Huan said: "My granddaughter, I don't know me, let alone get close, she received her grandfather's elite education, everything is the interests of the first, I can't get used to it, but I can't change it, so I haven't gone back all these years... We have no blood relationship, but we don't have love, but now that I'm older, I really want to see her. It's enough to see if she's okay. ”
"If you miss her, go see her. Lou Li and Dao.
"I haven't been to Lingbei for many years, and I don't know the way back for a long time..."
With Lou Lihe's Bing Xue cleverness, he naturally knew that Du Huan was not worried about the distance from Lingbei, but the gap in the relationship between him and his granddaughter for decades.
"Dean Du, in a week, I need to go back to Lingbei to report on the medium-term matters, it's a long way along the way, why don't you accompany me?" Lou Lihe said with a smile.
Du Huan was stunned for a moment, he knew very well that it only took an email to support the mid-term report of doctors in other places, and Lou Lihe said that he wanted to go back just to give himself a reason, a legitimate excuse.
"Good boy!" Du Huan's somewhat cloudy eyes were filled with emotion.
···
Waiting for Lou Lihe to come out of the dean's office, as soon as she turned around, she saw Ji Xinliang who was listening to the corner with her ears pricked up, she stared at him without saying a word, Ji Xinliang was caught, and smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I... I'm tired of reading... Come out and shake it..."
Lou Lihe said: "Rest, go back and continue reading." ”
"Oh oh!" Ji Xinliang hurriedly followed Lou Lihe.
Lou Lihe is very tall, but he still looks petite and slender next to Ji Xinliang, and Ji Xinliang secretly lowered his eyes and peeked.
Dean Du's worries were seen by everyone, but Ji Xinliang didn't expect Lou Lihe to care, after all, she was not a nosy person.
She is willing to find an excuse for this old man, but in fact, she is not as cold as she seems on the surface.
"What are you looking at?" Lou Li and Ji Xinliang stared at him in a daze.
Ji Xin smiled coldly: "Senior Sister Lou, you are actually a very gentle person, right?"
"Boring!"
···
In the evening, Ji Xinliang returned to Jing's house, chatted with Jing Fan during the break, Ji Xinliang talked about today's events, Jing Fan was not surprised, he read a book while smiling, and said, "Xinliang, everyone in this world is multifaceted, Lihe's coldness is true, gentleness is also true, you can't deny her occasional gentleness because of her coldness, and you can't deny her coldness because of her gentleness." ”
Ji Xinliang is not a little white rabbit, he has been up and down in the entertainment industry for many years, so he naturally understands that what Jing Fan said is true, "Because everyone is afraid that softness will hurt them, they can only be cold to defend themselves." ”
Jing Fan was noncommittal.
"However, no one wants to hurt her, is she a little overdefensive?" Ji Xinliang frowned.
"Say that a person is overly defensive because you can never understand how painful she is, because you can't empathize with her, because you can't empathize with her, because you can't understand it. Jing Fan closed the book, "People, in the final analysis, prefer to be calm and peaceful, who would raise their shields and spears when they are fine?"
Ji Xinliang understood the meaning of Jing Fan's words, "Brother Jing..."
Jing Fan looked at Ji Xinliang, "When I met Lou Lihe, she was colder than now, I don't know what happened to her in the past, but I don't think it's natural, because people who are naturally cold really don't care about other people's lives or deaths." ”
Only then did Ji Xinliang discover that Lou Li and Lou Li were very different from the ice beauties in college back then.
She said that her psychological problems had been resolved, but the damage to her heart could not be restored no matter how much she repaired it.
So what would Lou Lihe, who had no psychological problems look like?
No one knows, because Lou Li and himself can't say it.
Ji Xinliang was curious about this matter for the first time, and he was very curious.
···
The rainy season in Jiulianwei continued, but it did not stop Lou Li and Dean from returning to Lingbei.
The two got on the slow green train, and Lou Lihe saw a few drops of rain leaking from Du Huan's pale hair, so he reached out and brushed it away.
Du Huan thanked him and said casually: "Old people like us are afraid of this kind of cold rain, even a drop on the head will give you a headache all day, is your grandfather like this?"
Lou Li and smiled: "Yes, he doesn't like it, I don't like it either, people in our family don't like cold water." ”
As he was talking, the train warning was about to close, and a figure squeezed in through the crack in the door, shook his hair and couldn't come over, sat opposite Lou Lihe, and looked at each other triumphantly.
Lou Li and the accident, but not showing his face, "Why are you here?"
The person who came was Ji Xinliang.
"My teacher is not here, how can I review? Besides, I am from Lingbei, and I am more familiar with Lingbei than you, so I seem to be more suitable than you to lead the way. Ji Xinliang turned his head and said to Du Huan obediently: "Grandpa Du, did you say it?"
Because of Lou Lihe, Du Huan understands Ji Xinliang, Ji Xinliang is used to ingratiating himself and selling well, and he also has a good impression of the children of the Ji family after getting along for a while.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's just right to accompany the old man, the pear and ah are too boring, it's just right to have you!" Du Huan laughed.
"Okay!"
···
With the presence of Ji Xinliang, the long dozens of hours seemed a lot easier, Lou Lihe didn't like to talk, but Ji Xinliang said the words of the two of them alone, which made Du Huan smile.
At night, Du Huan asked Ji Xinliang with concern: "I heard that you are a member of the Ji family, or a descendant, why don't you be a doctor." ”
"What are you doing as a doctor? Like her? It's stuffy like a big ice cube. Ji Xinliang took his chin and pointed to the sullen Lou Lihe on the side.
Du Huan laughed: "Pear and like a big ice cube? ”
"Grandpa Dean, you also agree with what I said, don't you?"
The two high-fived and laughed, and Lou Lihe looked at him coldly, "Bored." ”
"Xinliang, you should make more friends like Xinliang. Du Huan gently patted Lou Lihe's shoulder.
"That's it, it's not a loss to give me tutoring, right?" Ji Xinliang teased.
···
The shortest journey in the world is the one with friends.
This was the first time, and Lou Lihe felt that more than twenty hours was not a long time, because she was only halfway through the book in her hand, and last time, she had read this book three times.
···
When he arrived at the station, Lou Lihe took Du Huan into a taxi, and Ji Xinliang also squeezed in like a loach.
"What are you doing?" Lou Li and Liu raised their eyebrows.
"Hey, Senior Sister Lou, you should know how much my family is not welcome here, and how much I am treated by fans. In Lingbei, I can't stand on the street for more than a minute, otherwise I will definitely be overwhelmed by the crowd, and besides, I'm here for Grandpa Du, if I don't follow, how can I lead the way?" Ji Xinliang turned his head to look at Du Huan beside him: "Do you say it's Grandpa Du?"
"Okay, okay, Xinliang will be with us. Du Huan beckoned the driver to open the way.
···
Ji Xinliang thought that Lou Lihe was staying in a hotel with Du Huan, but when the taxi stopped, he found that this was a high-end community around the First Hospital of Lingbei.
"You... Bring me to your house?" Ji Xinliang was dumbfounded, holding his package and not getting out of the car.
Lou Lihe even threw a stingy look at him, and helped Du Huan to walk in: "Grandpa Du, this is my house, close to the hospital, very convenient." ”
Du Huan is old, of course he doesn't mind, but Ji Xinliang is different, he is not only a young man but also a famous movie star, if he really lives in Lou Lihe's apartment tonight, he will become the headline overlord of Lingbei tomorrow.
"Hey!"
Ji Xinliang, who really had no choice, got out of the car and ran over, "You won't really leave me here like this, right?"
"You have a lot of real estate in Lingbei, how can you say that you are homeless?" Lou Lihe said sarcastically.
"But..."
Ji Xinliang wanted to speak and stopped.
But those places will be noticed by everyone once he goes back, and it's really easy to come back and difficult to leave...
···
When Lou Lihe helped Du Huan into the elevator, as soon as he turned around, he saw Ji Xinliang flashing in, "What are you doing?"
Ji Xinliang said: "Live in your house." ”
"Who allowed you to live in my house?" Lou Lihe frowned.
"You have been on the train for so long, you haven't booked a hotel, and you took your grandfather home, don't you mean to invite me to live in your house?" Ji Xinliang smiled.
Lou Lihe said coldly: "There are only two beds in my house, are you going to sleep on the carpet on the floor or lie on the sofa that is only half the length of you?"
Sleeping on the floor, carpeting, sofas less than a meter long?
Ji Xinliang was helpless, "Can't I sleep on the carpet?"
···
After Lou Lihe opened the elevator again, he helped Du Huan to walk to the right, and Ji Xinliang hurriedly followed.
But just as he almost stepped into the apartment, the door suddenly slammed shut less than a centimeter from the tip of his nose.
Almost disfigured!
Ji Xinliang couldn't yell and scream, so he could only wait quietly outside the door, anyway, Lou Lihe would open the door, I don't know why, he didn't think about leaving in his subconscious.
Sure enough, a minute later, the door opened in front of Ji Xinliang's eyes, and Lou Li and a cold face appeared behind the door: "Get in." ”
"It's coming!"
Ji Xinliang laughed and strode into Lou Lihe's apartment.
···
Seeing this apartment for the first time, Ji Xinliang was surprised, he thought that with Lou Lihe's temper, her house should be black and white, cold, and boring.
But on the contrary, this apartment is cosy.
Pale blue curtains, golden oil paintings, small sofas in light gray, and pale pink slippers.
It looks like an ivory tower for a little girl, a small world to live in all her life.
There was a bunch of wind chimes made of shells hanging above the balcony connected to the living room, Ji Xinliang couldn't help but walk over, pointed with his finger, shook it, the wind chimes made a crisp sound, and with a turn of his eyes, he saw the easel outside, Lou Lihe can also paint?
Ji Xinliang was puzzled, and Lou Lihe came out of the kitchen, "Come and drink water." ”
"Senior sister, where is Dean Du?"
"Rest in the room. ”
The old man sat in the car for dozens of hours, tossing and turning, even if he had two children to take care of, he was not light, so Lou Lihe took the lead in settling the old man.
Ji Xinliang took the water cup and thanked him, pointed to the balcony and asked, "Senior Sister Lou, do you still know how to paint?"
"No, it won't. Lou Li and Dao.
With that, she turned and went to the storage room.
No, it won't, why are you putting on a face again...
Ji Xinliang pouted and continued to wander around the living room by himself.
Looking at the oil paintings on the wall, there were sitting on the sofa until Lou Lihe smashed a small pillow and a stack of thin quilts into his arms, "Senior sister, you won't really let me sleep on the ground, will you?"
Lou Lihe glared at him: "There are rest chairs in the study." ”
As she spoke, she pointed to the opposite side of the master bedroom.
"You let me sleep in the study?" Ji Xinliang couldn't believe it.
Lou Lihe didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he had already turned around and walked into the bedroom and locked the door.
The so-called rest chair in the study is nothing more than two benches put together.
Ji Xinliang looked at the shabby rest environment, and really felt that he was asking for hardship.
"But this study is really good..."
Lou Lihe's study is probably the same as the master bedroom, the walls are surrounded by bookshelves, full of professional books, Ji Xinliang put down the quilt, looked and looked in front of the bookshelf, from beginning to end, "This is too boring, it's all medical books..."
On the bookshelf, the books are all medical-related, especially the window side, which is full of psychology-related books, Ji Xinliang took out one, the pages were yellowed, and the notes inside could be seen that the owner was still looking through them from time to time.
"I didn't expect her to like psychology so much... But yes, you have to look more to understand your illness..." Ji Xinliang put the book back and looked at the other bookshelves, thinking that he would see Lou Lihe's photo album or something, but found that there was not even a photo here, "Sure enough, Leng Beauty doesn't like to take pictures, do you think it's cool like this?"
Ji Xinliang didn't realize that not only the study, but in fact, the entire apartment, Lou Lihe didn't put any photos, whether it was the present or the past, the sixteen-year-old Lou Lihe he wanted to see was not in Lingbei at all.
Late at night, drowsiness hit, Ji Xinliang could only lie on the narrow rest chair aggrievedly, but after a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
···
"Jingle bell!"
In the morning, Ji Xinliang reached out to turn off the mobile phone alarm clock on the ground, but forgot that he was now lying on a narrow stool that was one person wide, and he fell down in a daze: "Oops!"
After complaining a few words, Ji Xinliang took the phone and found that it was not an alarm clock, but Fu Xi's phone, "Hmm, why did Brother Fu Xi call me at this time?"
The clock on the wall shows that it's just 7 o'clock.
"Hey, Brother Fu Xi. ”
"Little rabbit cub! I didn't tell me when I returned to Lingbei, if it wasn't for Lihe who sent me a text message, I would have been kept in the dark, hurry up and roll over to me! I'll be waiting for you in the old mansion." ”
Fu Xi sold Lou Lihe in just a few words, Ji Xinliang put down the phone and gritted his teeth: "Lou Lihe!"
Go back to the old house, and you can't be skinned by his father when you go back?
Ji Xinliang threw away the phone, sullen for a while, his stomach gurgled, he still lifted the quilt and went out barefoot.
In the open dining room outside, Lou Lihe was already sitting there with Du Huan for breakfast.
"Xinliang, you actually got up so early, I thought you still had to sleep for a while, come over and eat. Du Huan beckoned to Ji Xinliang: "Lihe's craftsmanship is good." ”
Ji Xinliang wiped the corners of his eyes and walked over after making sure there was nothing.
The breakfast was really rich, Lou Lihe not only made porridge, eggs, but also side dishes, which didn't look like they went out to buy.
There were no Ji Xinliang's dishes and chopsticks on the table, and he wanted to reach for the eggs, but was hit by Lou Lihe with chopsticks: "I didn't wash my face, and I wasn't allowed to eat." ”
"Hey, Lou Lihe, don't go too far! I haven't cared about you reporting to my brother!" Ji Xinliang was angry.
But Lou Lihe smiled rarely: "Senior contacted you? That's right, you go to him to wash your face and save me some water bills." ”
"You're so unrighteous!" Ji Xinliang yelled.
"Lots of words. Lou Lihe criticized him and ignored him anymore.
Ji Xinliang was angry for a while, then turned around to wash, and when he came back, Lou Lihe and Du Huan had already finished breakfast, and there was nothing on the table.
"Lou Lihe, you really don't leave anything for me!" Ji Xinliang was furious.
"Originally, I made breakfast for two people, and I want to eat it yourself. ”
Lou Lihe moved the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, and Ji Xinliang followed up with the kitchen: "Do you have noodles at home..."
As he spoke, he saw the noodles prepared by the counter, "Wow, you prepared this for me?"
Lou Lihe didn't say a word, just silently washed the dishes and chopsticks.
Ji Xinliang is good at cooking noodles, and likes to eat thick noodles in the morning, such as spicy knife cut noodles, if not, instant noodles can also be improvised.
Lou Lihe watched him skillfully open the stove, boil water, boil noodles, put chili sauce in a big spoon, and then was spicy tears flew straight away...
She quietly hooked the corners of her mouth, for some reason.
