In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Tao, who relies on import and export trade and has a lot of wealth, is undoubtedly a successful person, but due to his lonely background, every time Lu Xingchuan sees him, he can't help but write in his heart www.biquge.info complicated alienation and contempt.

The boy was fed up with his mother's endless waiting, and he didn't understand her unconditional love for this man.

"Here...... Are you still used to it?"

One day, Lu Tao called his youngest son to the study and asked.

Lu Xingchuan hates to rely on, and even complains sparingly: "Well, it's okay."

When he was young, Lu Tao was not as beautiful as he is now, and he was even poor and white, he relied on the help of He Mei's parents to start from scratch in Beijing, so no matter how bad the relationship is, it is unlikely that he will abandon his wife, so he smiled helplessly: "Dad knows, you don't want to live with them."

Lu Xingchuan looked sideways at the rows of books in the bookcase, silent.

"But it can't be helped, you're too young." Lu Tao promised: "When you become an adult, you can freely choose your future, just because I am your strong backing."

If it were an ordinary innocent child, he would definitely be a little moved when he heard this.

But Lu Xingchuan had already made up his mind when his mother died: grow up quickly, leave these hated people as soon as possible, and then forget all the humiliating experiences of his childhood.

He suddenly raised his dark eyes and asked in a low voice, "Have you never wanted to marry my mother?"

Hearing this, Lu Taoyan's face changed slightly, he picked up the cigar in his hand, and put it down again: "When you grow up, you will talk to me about this issue."

The answer without surprise made Lu Xingchuan purse his pale lips angrily.

"Child, you must know that love and marriage are completely two different things, and you don't necessarily need that piece of paper to love someone." Lu Tao couldn't help but explain like this, and then instructed: "Study hard, tell me and Uncle Wang if you have any needs, and Dad will have more time to spend at home with you recently."

"You're still busy." Lu Xingchuan refused.

Lu Tao smiled and asked, "I heard that you and Qiao Bai had a good time?"

Lu Xingchuan hummed.

"It's good to make more friends, too." Lu Tao opened the text jiàn folder: "You are just too introverted, don't always be bored in the room."

Seeing that his father was going to be busy with business, Lu Xingchuan agreed noncommittally: "Okay, then I'll do my homework."

Lu Tao lit the cigar and said casually, "Rest early."

Lu Xingchuan hurriedly left here.

As soon as he pushed him into the corridor, he turned around and saw He Mei holding refreshments.

The two stared at each other coldly for a moment, neither of them saying a word.

The night outside the window was as cold as this messy home, and only the faint cry of the little German pastor added a little vitality to the dead silence at this time.

――

Qiao Bai has been very lively since he was a child, he loves to eat and play, and there are many people who can't stand him and many people who like him.

All in all, such a character is naturally very eye-catching in school.

He likes freshness, and in addition to following his old friend Ke Yizhu everywhere, he has also made a lot of other friends.

For example, Lu Xingchuan, who appeared recently, is one of them.

"Oh, how do you do this question, you can tell me about it!" After school on this day, Qiao Bai took advantage of the proximity to the water and went to Lu's house to do his homework, and harassed the school bully by the way.

Lu Xingchuan, who wanted to read the book for a while, was annoyed: "I have already said it three times, even your dog can do it."

"But I just can't do it, or you can lend me your homework book." Qiao Bai put his face on the table, very desperate.

He's as versatile as his mother, but his culture classes are rotten.

"Want to copy?" Lu Xingchuan smiled lightly: "Your father specially came to tell me......

"What are you doing with him?" Qiao Bai lowered his head in disappointment and scribbled.

Lu Xingchuan felt that he was stupid and funny, reached out and pulled away the useless pen, and sighed: "I think you should start from the textbook, geometry is actually very simple, just remember the formula, add a little spatial imagination, or let me help you talk about it?"

He rarely said so much in one breath, but Qiao Bai, who heard that he was going to make up the class, couldn't be happy, and blinked his eyes to change the topic: "By the way, what are you doing on October 1st?"

Lu Xingchuan shook his head.

Seven days off was not a bitter torture for him.

"Hehe, come with me to Hengdian to play, I plan to go see my mother, and then go to Hangzhou for a visit." Qiao Bai immediately sent out an invitation.

"Why don't you go with your dad?" Lu Xingchuan was not interested.

"He's going to have to go to the TV station and record it." Qiao Bai has long been accustomed to his parents' work conditions that are different from ordinary people.

The balance in Lu Xingchuan's heart swayed between enduring his stepmother and enduring a fool: "Let me ask."

Qiao Bai was reluctant to go out by himself, but when he saw that he finally had a companion, he immediately stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask for you!"

As he spoke, he pulled his throat and ran out of his bedroom: "Aunt He! Where are you?"

Lu Xingchuan was still a little uncomfortable with his exaggerated behavior, and he was stunned before he came back to his senses, and casually flipped through his math homework book, only to see that every page was a big red fork, and he couldn't help but admire it deeply.

What's funny is that Qiao Bai still didn't give up and left a message to the teacher, "QAQ pity me, give me a passing grade, I'm not far from sixty points."

Of course, the teacher was ruthless: "-yes, six points and sixty points are really the same, rounded up to 200 million."

After a while, Qiao Bai came back happily and said, "She agreed, then I will ask my father to book a ticket for you, and then I can go directly with my brother."

Lu Xingchuan had hardly experienced friendship, and he didn't know if his subtle envy for Qiao Bai could develop into a so-called friendship, but he couldn't help but be infected by that elation, and curled the corners of his mouth: "Okay."

Qiao Bai rejoiced: "To celebrate our brothers' first trip, let's share some math homework!"

Lu Xingchuan casually threw his notebook in front of him.

Qiao Bai's eyes lit up, and when he opened it, he was disappointed: "Huh? Why is it empty, haven't you written it yet?"

"What's the hurry?" Lu Xingchuan asked.

「…… When are you going to start?"

"Tomorrow morning self-study."

「……」

――

Just like Lu Xingchuan was reluctant to share a room with his stepmother, He Mei probably couldn't stand the stepson imposed on her by her husband for a long time, so she showed unexpected enthusiasm for the activities of the two children's National Day, packed her luggage with her own hands, and sent them to the airport on time.

"Auntie, don't be busy, don't worry, my mother's agent will pick us up when we get there." Qiao Bai's mouth has always been sweet.

"Stay safe, Hoshikawa, take care of Little Joe." He Mei's smile was impeccable, and she had long since put away her private meanness in the bustling airport.

"Well, let's go." Lu Xingchuan grabbed Qiao Bai's arm and turned around to say goodbye.

"Goodbye, Auntie!" Qiao Bai turned around and beckoned, and then whispered, "How do I think, she has been very good to you recently."

"Adult masks, you can have as many as you want." Lu Xingchuan replied coldly.

Qiao Bai was stunned, and then happy: "You're pretty cool."

He is always like this, and he can always easily find the good in a person's things.

Lu Xingchuan really wanted to get this skill, and then heal the world in front of him.
