Chapter 51: The Dawn of Doom
I froze and was stunned for a moment, before I followed the voice and looked back, and lowered my head after just one glance: "Teacher Lu." ”
I haven't seen Mr. Lu for a whole year, and now it seems that Mr. Lu still looks so handsome, still like Qiao Chu said, standing on the podium seems to shine.
Lu Zhengqian strode over, grabbed my wrist directly and walked out the door: "What are you doing in this kind of place?"
I was stumbled by Mr. Lu's force, and I almost fell, saying, "Mr. Lu, I'm ...... Lu"
I didn't speak, and a sentence next to me cut off my words: "It was my beloved mother who asked me to bring Jiayin." ”
Lu Jingzhong stretched out an arm to block in front of Lu Zhengqian, without any smile on his face, he directly went around and pulled me over from Lu Zhengqian's hand, protecting my shoulder, there was already a trace of provocation in his eyes: "Correct, there is no one named Chen Nuolin here, her name is Du Jiayin, and there is only Du Jiayin." ”
Lu Zhengqian squinted his eyes and didn't look at me, but at Lu Jingzhong: "You want to pull her into this circle?"
Lu Jingzhong didn't answer this question, and took me in the direction of the banquet, I felt that this was a bit rude, so I hurriedly turned around and bowed to Lu Zhengqian again: "Goodbye, Teacher Lu." ”
Lu Jingzhong laughed out loud when he heard this, and pinched my face: "Your Teacher Lu is also going to the banquet, what will you see again." ”
Now, I have clearly understood my heart, so even in the face of Teacher Lu, I don't have the unruly mind I used to have, I am really young and ignorant, and the head teacher was really right at that time.
I was a little nervous when I walked into the hall, Lu Jingzhong noticed it, and shook my palm with his backhand: "Don't worry, don't worry about anything." ”
When Lu Jingzhong led me into the door, the people around the table all glanced here, no matter who they were, but their eyes only paused for a second, and then they continued with what they were doing, as if this side was just a cloud of air.
I carried the clothes given to Lu Jingzhong's parents in my hand, and thought about it a hundred times in my heart, how should I say the first word to his parents, I can see Lu Jingzhong's attitude towards the entire Lu family, but after all, it is still a parent.
However, I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door, Lu Jingzhong handed the things he bought to the housekeeper, who handed them over.
I glared at me, "No, don't you need me?"
"No," Lu Jingzhong said, "it's all handed over by the housekeeper." ”
During the meal, I could see what a big family this was, but it seemed that there was a gap between people, and even if they spoke, they looked inseparable.
Lu Jingzhong took me to sit at a round table and explained to me that in the Lu family, there is a very strict concept of seniority and hierarchy, so even if it is a meal, he will not sit with his parents.
I felt that Lu Jingzhong's tone was a little sad when he said these words, so he burst into a bright smile at him: "It's okay, I'll sit with you." ”
I saw that Mr. Lu was sitting with Lu Jingzhong, the titular mother.
When eating, I always felt that another line of sight fell on me, but when I came back to my senses, I couldn't find the person who had been staring at me, but when I turned my head, I inadvertently bumped into a person's gaze, which looked a little ruthless, but it was just a flash, I thought I was wrong, so I wanted to turn my head and take another look, Lu Jingzhong's hand directly reached over to protect my head, and his palm blocked the corner of my eye, and helped me clip a piece of bamboo shoot: "Don't look around, eat." ”
Someone at this table brought me wine, but Lu Jingzhong stopped me without saying a word: "She is still in school, and alcohol stimulation is not good for the brain." ”
I looked at Lu Jingzhong, and my heart was full of gratitude, Lu Jingzhong turned his head and said to me: "If your brain is stimulated, you will be even more stupid, you will be stupid." ”
Me: "......"
said that this meal was a Hongmen banquet, in fact, it was to talk together, ask about the current situation, anyway, I didn't hear the meaning of a little bloody rain, on the surface I laughed and laughed, but who knows if there is a knife hidden in the smile secretly.
After eating, the housekeeper brought me a red envelope, saying that it was given by Mrs. Lu, I hurriedly thanked him, the housekeeper didn't have a little expression on his face, and left without waiting for me to say a word of thanks.
When I finally left, I didn't officially meet Lu Jingzhong's parents, only a few relatives who were not close or far away came to ask about the relationship between Lu Jingzhong and me, and Lu Jingzhong always replied: "Girlfriend." ”
Then they all smiled tacitly.
Lu Jingzhong drank alcohol during the meal, so he called to find a substitute driver to drive, he and I sat in the back seat, he leaned back in the chair, his eyes narrowed and stared at me, I asked him, "Do you have a headache?"
Lu Jingzhong shook his head and turned his head to look out the car window.
After passing through an intersection, Lu Jingzhong suddenly said an address to the substitute driver: "Drive to this place." ”
"Where are you going?" I asked.
Lu Jingzhong said: "Bar." ”
Lu Jingzhong said that this place is indeed a lot of bars, he asked the substitute driver to park in the temporary parking space on the side of the road, and then pulled me out of the car.
I ran in small steps to keep up with Lu Jingzhong's pace: "Didn't you let me drink?"
Lu Jingzhong slowed down his pace to cooperate with me, and said, "It's me who drinks, not you." ”
I always feel that Lu Jingzhong today is a little different, he didn't ask for a private room, but sat directly on the bar stool and asked for two bottles of wine and a wine glass.
At the other end of the bar sat a man and a woman, who seemed to be a couple, asked for a cocktail, and the bartender in the classic bartender white shirt, black bow tie and black vest played a series of tricks, and finally put a slice of lemon on the glass.
Lu Jingzhong knocked on the table in front of me, and suddenly approached me, with a slightly drunk breath: "Are you dazzled?"
I directly blocked his lips with the palm of my hand: "Maomao, have you drunk too much?"
Lu Jingzhong blinked maliciously, and I felt the tip of his tongue lick the palm of my hand, and an electric current rushed up from the brush on my back, spreading along the vertebrae to the part of the palm that was licked by Lu Jingzhong.
And just when I wanted to pinch Lu Jingzhong's face, he suddenly turned his head, snapped his fingers at the bartender casually, and asked for an empty cocktail glass and a shaker, an ounce glass.
At this time, I knew what Lu Jing was important to do.
Lu Jingzhong didn't have the fancy movements of the bar bartender, but they were all clean and neat, the cocktail shaker was lightly flipped on the tips of his fingers, and his wrist jumped up and down, seemingly a careless toss, the champagne-colored liquid drew a beautiful parabola in mid-air, and the other wrist flicked and threw an ounce glass upward.
The whole process was not muddy at all, it was like a careful performance, not only me, but even the bartender and a few people next to the bar looked at Lu Jingzhong.
At this moment, I looked at Lu Jingzhong with my arms propped up, and felt that the man in my mind should be like this, a king who seemed to stand in the spotlight no matter what the occasion.
Finally, Lu Jingzhong floated a slice of sliced lemon on the surface of the pale blue cocktail, gently placed it on my hand, and gently slid his slender fingers on the side of my cheek, hanging a strand of hair that fell on my ear behind my ear: "Taste, dear." ”
Lu Jingzhong's "dear" was like a falling feather, tickling on the tip of my heart, and I pretended to be calm and asked, "Didn't you let me drink?"
"You can take a small bite. ”
I picked up my glass and drank a little bit with my lips, almost throwing it out.
"How is it a bitter ......?"
Lu Jingzhong smiled, took a sip of his cocktail glass, and explained to me which kind of wine and which wine was paired with the citric acid of lemon slices, and which reaction it just did, and it became bitter.
I don't understand the names of the wines and the chemical reaction that Lu Jingzhong said at all, but after a long time, I remember Lu Jingzhong's last sentence-
"However, it has a nice name," Lu Jingzhong pursed the corners of his lips, and the thin lip flap was stained with a hint of moist wine, "the dawn of doom." ”
