Chapter 3: Have You Hated Me?

At 6:40 in the evening, Lu Xiuwen's car stopped at the door of the 'rolling red dust' on time.

Lu Xiuwen went to the company and asked the driver to send Lin Yinuo to Zhong'an Shanshui Garden, his residence.

The driver didn't talk much, but he was very enthusiastic about Lin Yinuo, and when he sent Lin Yinuo to the place, he was about to leave. Lin Yinuo looked at this courtyard, cleaned up neatly! The decoration in the room is the same, at first glance, it looks like a man lives, simple colors, simple home layout, but there is a kind of arrogance in the simplicity, just like his people!

"Do you want to leave?" Lin Yinuo asked the driver, "This ...... Why isn't there any?"

"Mr. Lu's home is in Qingshuiwan! This is Mr. Lu's other courtyard, except for the cleaning people, no one comes!" The driver took down a packaging box from the car, put it in the room, and turned back to Lin Yinuo and said: "Miss Lin, don't worry, Mr. Lu will be back soon, I will put the things in the kitchen for you, Miss Lin, go in, it's going to be dark!"

The driver turned on the lights in the living room for her and left. Leaving Lin Yinuo alone in this big living room, he didn't know what to do for a while.

She looked at the spiraling staircase, where he lived. Does he have to go up and down the stairs several times a day?

The style of the second floor is much warmer than the first floor, and next to the stairs is a large study room, which neatly arranges a lot of books. He has always been a very demanding person, so his desk is placed next to the large floor-to-ceiling windows, which not only takes in good light, but also allows you to see the outside scene and the lush bamboo forest by the courtyard wall.

Next to the study, is his bedroom, he is a very clean person, so tidy up. Many years ago, it was like this, other people's beds were messy, but his bed was folded neatly every day.

She walked in, as if she could smell his breath, she panicked inexplicably, and sat on his bed with a blushing face - the first time she sat on his bed, she held the unwrinkled striped bed sheet with her hand, her eyes suddenly glimpsed, there was a stack of materials next to the pillow, she picked it up and looked at it, it was a bunch of drawings and data reports that she couldn't understand, and she was about to put it down, but she raised her eyes and saw that Lu Xiuwen was leaning by the door at some point, looking at her meaningfully.

She put down the papers and got up from the bed, not expecting him to come back so soon.

"Are you visiting my bed?" he asked, "are you satisfied with the comfort?"

This is clearly ill-intentioned.

"What are you staring at me for?" he continued to ask her, "Is the meal ready?"

"Food?" Lin Yinuo suddenly remembered the box that the driver gave her before leaving, and stammered a little: "I...... Meals...... Didn't do ......"

He nodded and asked her, "Are you going to let me make it for you?!"

It's impossible to think about it with your toes! Lin Yinuo hurriedly walked down: "I'll do it right away!"

His taste is always light, and he doesn't eat meat, so his dishes are easy to make....... It's just that Lin Yinuo hasn't cooked for a long time, and the appearance of making it is really ...... Miserable appearance!

This kind of dish...... Why are you embarrassed to ask him to eat!?

She struggled to go upstairs, and he was reading in his study, holding a copy of "The Road to Serfdom" in his hand...... The title of the book, The Road to Serfdom, feels like the road she's taking now, the road to servitude, to him.......

"The ......," she said, not knowing what to call him at the moment: "It's time to eat."

He sat down at the table, looked at a table of gray dishes, frowned, and looked at her.

Lin Yinuo lowered her head in embarrassment, she really tried her best. When she looked up again, she saw that he had already eaten alone first, and had eaten every dish she had made, and unexpectedly did not say anything, but ate very quietly.

After the meal, she consciously put on gloves to wash dishes, but looked up to find that he had not gone upstairs, standing next to him, and seemed to be looking at her with tender eyes. He ate all the dishes and didn't say a word of sarcasm or teasing, much to her surprise. Now this look ....... She was a little hairy in her heart, and it was common sense that he shouldn't have looked at her with such gentle eyes.

"The ......." she wanted to say something to break the suffocating atmosphere, but she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

He walked over, looked her in the eye and said, "I, not called 'that'"!

He approached suddenly, and said to her in such a gentle tone, so that her heartbeat inexplicably missed several beats, and her hand slipped, and the plate fell and shattered. At the moment when the whole world froze, this crisp sound of "dang-" exploded between the two of them, making her even more embarrassed.

The tenderness in his eyes overflowed and disappeared, and he said expressionlessly: "The clumsy appearance has not changed at all! The dishes are not well cooked, and the dishes are not washed well!"

I knew that he wouldn't let go of the opportunity to make fun of her.

When she squatted down to pick up the pieces, he turned away and coldly dropped a sentence: "Don't pick it up with your hands, I won't give you a bag if you cut your fingers!"

What kind of man! Lin Yinuo used a broom to clean up the debris all over the ground, and he called her upstairs: "Lin Yinuo, you come up!"

She answered, went into the bedroom, and saw him packing up the papers on the bed—was he cleaning up the bed? Was he ready to rest?

"I ...... Where do I sleep?" she asked, the question she had been struggling with.

"Here!" he said in an affirmative tone, packing the materials into his bag.

"Don't!"

"Don't?" he stopped his hand and looked up at her, "You said you didn't want to?!"

His eyes often make her unable to hide, but he has such an indifferent and tough attitude, does he want her to share the same bed?

"You can't do that to me!" she said aggrievedly.

"Then what should I do to you?!" He put down the file bag in his hand and pulled her over, Lin Yinuo was unsuspectingly pulled by him, and sat on his lap, his arm quickly wrapped around her, so that she couldn't escape, and asked with a smile: "Lin Yinuo, what should I do to you?"

His face was close at hand, his eyes were full of smiles, his snort was in his ears, knowing that he was a malicious teasing, but she couldn't help her heart beat faster, her cheeks were red, she looked at his bright eyes, the gentle eyes...... Long time no see. Once, let him treat everything as hard as iron, as soon as she appeared, all his rules and regulations would fall apart, let him treat everyone coldly, but when he looked at her, he was speechless....... At that time, he often looked at her with such gentle eyes. He is a vegetarian, but when he barbecues, he only kebabs because she loves meat, and every time it is her turn to cook, she will happen to appear, taunting her, while reluctantly helping her cook all the meals......

"I want the previous Lu Xiuwen .......," she said, her eyes reddening.

The smile on his face was gone, his eyes became dark, and his eyes were hidden in the darkness, deep and obscure. Even though it was close at hand, she couldn't see clearly, and she would never know what he was thinking.......

Her eyes were as deep as a lake, and her long eyelashes trembled and trembled, and his heart tightened, and he swallowed his saliva, and the Adam's apple squirmed up and down twice around his neck, and he swallowed again, and closed his lips, but said nothing, except that his eyes moved away from her face and to the clock on the wall......

He let go of his hand, stood up, and said in his voice that suddenly became hoarse, "Yinuo, help me prepare two sets of clothes, I'll wait for you downstairs!"

He finished and left, leaving her alone to sit there like a rain of ice.

When she went downstairs, she saw that the driver was also there, and Lu Xiuwen called him "Uncle Qian" - Uncle Qian took the suitcase and put it in the car, and Lu Xiuwen only threw her one sentence: "You take me to the airport" and sat in the car.

She followed her into the car, and he didn't say a word or look at her all the way. She helped him prepare two sets of thin clothes, and another set of thick coats for him, she knew that he had been weak since he was a child, and every time the cold wind blew, he would catch a cold, and she wanted to ask him: Where are you going? What are you going to do? When will you come back? But she understands that if he doesn't want to say, it's useless for her to ask, ask in vain.

When Lu Xiuwen got out of the car, he glanced back at her and ordered lukewarmly: "Lin Yinuo, you clean up the house and wait for me to come back!"

Lin Yinuo gave him a blank look.

On the way home, Uncle Qian asked Yinuo, "Why is Miss Lin still sullen? Is there any difficulty?"

"When you meet this kind of cold and ruthless person, are you happy, Uncle Qian?"

"Actually, Mr. Lu seems to be indifferent on the surface, and it is difficult to get close, but Mr. Lu is really a very upright and enthusiastic good person! He is meticulous in his work, upright in his life, and is neither humble nor arrogant to anyone, not afraid of authority! This is known to everyone in our company!" Speaking of Mr. Lu, Uncle Qian's wrinkled eyes bloomed with a strange brilliance, full of admiration and respect: "Miss Lin, I can't help but defend our Mr. Lu, anyone can say that Mr. Lu is cold and ruthless, you can't!"

"Why?"

"Why, Miss Lin, don't you know?"

"What do I know?"

Uncle Qian's prophecy stopped again, and Lin Yinuo looked at him with a puzzled expression. Uncle Qian said: "Miss Lin, Mr. Lu is actually on the plane at seven o'clock tonight, before this kind of thing, Mr. Lu was busy working in the company, and went directly to the airport when it was time! Today, Mr. Lu deliberately changed the latest flight in order to come back to accompany Miss Lin for dinner, I have been with Mr. Lu for more than ten years, and at work, he will not delay time for anyone!"

"You hear that, too, he just...... Just so that I could clean his house and deliberately come back to give me orders!"

"Is that so?" Uncle Qian looked at her from the rearview mirror and laughed.

"Aang!" she nodded.

The car drove into the courtyard, and Uncle Qian took out a lot of daily necessities from the trunk and put them in Yinuo's hand: "These are all purchased by Mr. Lu himself! If there is anything else, Miss Lin told me that I will sleep and stay, Miss Lin don't worry, go upstairs and rest early." ”

"Uncle Qian, you don't have to go home, you live here too?"

"Mr. Lu is worried that Miss Lin is afraid of living here alone, so he told Lao Qian to live downstairs in the other courtyard these days, and Miss Lin can rest assured!"

Lin Yinuo nodded: "Then thank you Uncle Qian!"

Or Lu Xiuwen understands her, she lives alone, she is indeed afraid.......

Lu Xiuwen actually bought her a pink sheet and bed cover, she really didn't expect it! She hugged the pillow, and there was a faint fragrance left by him on the pillow, she took two deep breaths, and then resolutely decided to sleep on his bed sheet, and put the pink bed cover in the cabinet. When he covered his quilt, his smell became stronger, and she didn't feel blushing, thinking that he slept in this bed every night...... What does he do every night before going to bed? Who is he thinking about before he goes to sleep? She saw a drawer in front of the bed, curiously opened it, and there was a square box in the drawer, she hugged it on the bed, this box was not locked, it shouldn't be a safe? Aren't all safes with passwords? She shook it and it wasn't very heavy, could it be that it was full of deposit slips? She thought a little funny, Lu Xiuwen was a miser, and every night before going to bed he fell asleep with a box of deposit bills......

When she opened the box, she never thought that what was contained in the box was actually some of her photos in recent years and the rolling red dust activity cards - from the opening card to the annual card, season card, monthly card, and various extension cards, every year, every month, every issue, he has ......

Lin Yinuo stayed there, he had never appeared all these years, but why, he had so many photos of her? Why did he have her activity cards for every issue? Could it be that he had always cared about him all these years? Has he been quietly following her in one place? After she hurt him like that.......

Lu Xiuwen ......." She held her photo, her heart hurt as if she was dripping blood, and tears rolled down instantly: "Have you ever hated me all these years?"
