After a busy morning, gently leaning on the back of the car, listening to melodious and soothing music, Qiao Yixia slowly closed his eyes, his thoughts began to drift, and sleepiness swept over. Shang Lu saw Qiao Yixia's eyes closed from the rearview mirror in the car, and he lowered the volume of the music and increased the wind speed of the air conditioner. Lu Xifei glanced at her sideways, and he couldn't tell what kind of emotion was in his eyes, but if Qiao Yixia was awake at this moment, he would definitely be fascinated by this faint glance.

The sun in the world outside is just right, but the world in the mountains is integrated day and night, and the three of them are shrouded in gloomy atmosphere again, Qiao Yixia rubbed his eyes, and suddenly sobered up, and wanted to get out of the car to help Lu Xihua open the door, but Lu Xifei held down his hand, and heard her say: "No need." ”

Thinking that Lu Xifei was going to get out of the car by herself, she still sat still, and she didn't get down until the door on her side was opened by Shang Lu. Looking at Lu Xifei's arrogant and comfortable appearance, Qiao Yixia curled the corners of her lips.

It was noon, Shang Lu followed the two seniors to the villa, I thought that Lu Xifei would leave him to eat together, but Lu Xifei didn't say a word, Qiao Yixia was just an outsider, and it was not easy to say anything, Shang Lu had to touch his head in embarrassment, and said that he would go to the hospital to see Lu Guiping. Lucy bowed slightly, agreeing.

"Are you wondering why I didn't stay with him for dinner?" As Shang Lu left, Lu Xifei casually asked Qiao Yixia, who was standing next to the sofa.

Qiao Yixia nodded, shook her head, and could only stand still. Luci continued: "Not everyone I don't know is acceptable to me to stay in my house for more than two hours. And she, Qiao Yixia, is an exception.

Qiao Yixia cleared her throat and changed the topic: "Professor Lu is hungry, right?" ”

"There's food in the fridge, I'll go upstairs first, and call me when it's ready."

In fact, Qiao Yixia's cooking skills are not very good, mainly because her working hours are very tight, so she rarely has the opportunity to fire at home, and most of them eat some boxed lunches in the bureau. Looking at Qingye's notebook, she found that Lu Xifei was particularly fond of eating meat food, which was very inconsistent with her appearance. The cooking utensils of Luci's family are very clean, and the bottom of the pot can clearly reflect people's faces.

Finally, after tossing for half an hour, Qiao Yixia looked at the fried shrimp and sighed deeply. When Lu Xizhuo went downstairs, she choked on the smoke, she walked up to Qiao Yixia, frowned slightly and said to her, "I'll come." ”

Qiao Yixia had to ask at a loss, "Then is there anything I can do to help?" ”

"Go sit on the couch."

"Professor Lu, I just made a dish, and I'll bring it to the table first." According to the content recorded by Qing Ye, Lu Xifei likes spicy tastes, so Qiao Yixia made a chili scrambled egg that she is good at, and seeing that Lu Xifei didn't react, she took the dish to the table.

The smoke in the kitchen gradually dissipated after Lu Xihua turned on the smoke exhaust machine, and Qiao Yixia, who was sitting on the sofa, had a strong sense of frustration in her heart, as if she was asked by the teacher when she was in school but didn't know the answer to the question, so she could only stand and wait for the teacher to explain to herself. It didn't take long for Lucy to walk from the kitchen with her hair tied casually and empty-handed.

"Go serve the food."

Qiao Yixia immediately got up and went to the kitchen, looking at the dishes on the table that were already mouth-watering just for their appearance, Qiao Yixia's pupils were slightly enlarged. Lu Xifei made two dishes and one soup, a jade shrimp ring, a sweet and sour pork ribs, and a seafood three-silk soup, and the plate of scrambled eggs with chili peppers fried by Qiao Yixia was particularly bleak.

"Has Professor Lu ever learned to cook before?" Qiao Yixia sandwiched a pork rib, sweet but not greasy, even more delicious than what many restaurants make.

Lu Xifei took a sip of soup elegantly and responded shallowly: "Do you need to learn such a simple thing?" ”

"Professor Lu is so virtuous, and his husband will definitely be very happy in the future." This is Qiao Yixia's sincere praise, Lu Xifei is not the kind of embroidered pillow, not only exquisite on the outside, but also colorful on the inside. Such a woman, even if she is a little cold and arrogant, will not be annoying.

Lu Xifei didn't think so: "Even if I get married, I won't cook for him by myself." ”

Qiao Yixia couldn't help but chuckle: "So, I am the only one who can eat the dishes made by Professor Lu so far?" ”

"So to speak."

"That's a real pleasure for me." After that, Qiao Yixia sandwiched his scrambled eggs, which were really spicy, how did Lu Xifei eat it, and it seemed that he was still eating with relish.

Luci nodded slightly: "It's great that you can realize this." ”

Qiao Yixia found that Lu Xifei rarely picked up her own fried dishes, but kept eating her plate of scrambled eggs with chili peppers, Qiao Yixia hadn't cooked for two whole months, not to mention that there were too many chili peppers, and the eggs were still a little mushy, so she asked: "Professor Lu, in fact, this egg is a bit mushy." The implication is that you don't have to force yourself to save face.

"Can't I see it?"

"Then you ......"

"I like to eat."

Getting along with Lu Xifei always gave Qiao Yixia a mysterious feeling, at first she felt that Lu Xifei was too conceited and would be difficult to get along with, but after only half a day, her impression of her changed, why did she always feel that this cold professor treated herself a little more special than others.

In the past, after lunch, Lu Xifei would go to the study on the second floor to read books for half an hour, but today she went directly back to the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed, she gently closed her eyes, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning. She has always loved cleanliness, and even did not take a bath after being contaminated with the smell of oil smoke, but directly changed into a nightgown, lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Qiao Yixia washed the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up, and called Shi Wei to inquire about the situation, and learned that Lu Guiping had stomach cancer, which was in an advanced stage. But after she sobered up, there were two completely different words from before, and she kept shaking her head and saying to them, not her, not her. Shi Wei asked her to go to the hospital, and she went upstairs to say something to Luci, but found that no one answered.

A person with Lu Xifei's temperament would not deliberately be silent to cause people to worry, Qiao Yixia was afraid that something would happen to her, so she took it upon herself to open the bedroom door.

"Professor Lu." Qiao Yixia ran to the bedside, looked at her reddened cheeks, and tightly knit brows, reached out and touched her forehead, and found that it was amazingly hot, "Professor Lu, where is your medical cabinet?" ”

Lu Xifei looked very painful, her brows tightened more and more, a little bead of sweat oozed from her fair forehead, she shook off the blanket on her body, opened her eyes and said to Qiao Yixia, "Who allowed you to come in?" You get me out. ”

"You're sick and need to take medicine."

"Don't worry about it, get out." Luci inhaled deeply and exhaled deeply, but the expression on his face was solemn.

Qiao Yixia felt that she couldn't turn a blind eye to her who was so weak, but with Lu Xifei's personality, she was afraid that she would not allow herself to go against her orders, so she had to nod: "Professor Lu, if something calls me, I will be guarding outside the door." ”

It wasn't until the door was closed that Luci got out of bed with some difficulty, but he squatted down deeply on the ground, took a few breaths of desperate breath, and then walked to the desk with great difficulty, opened the drawer, took out a bottle of spray, and put the gas into his mouth with trembling hands. She closed her eyes and held the spray to her chest, and the intense longing spread through her mind, and quickly swept through her body.

She remembered what he had said to her, and remembered how many times he had complained about why sickness had not befallen him.

Her asthma was innate, so she never ate candy when she was a child, and her family did not allow her to eat spicy food, simple white porridge and green vegetables made up her three meals a day. When he was a child, he secretly ate sour sweet and sour fish for herself, and she soon became obsessed with the impact of spicy on her, and after that time, she had an old illness, lying in bed panting, and turning over became an inaccomplishable thing. He took her in his arms, stroked her hair, and said sorry over and over again.

But she didn't blame him, because he was the only person in this world who had ever given her warmth.

As she grows older, her body is no longer as weak as when she was a child, and she can eat some sweet or spicy dishes, as long as she does not catch a cold and does not cause inflammation.

Come to think of it, the last time I experienced this kind of pain was two years ago.

Lucy knew very well in her heart that when she gave Qiao Yixia her coat to wear, she was in danger of catching a cold, causing complications, and thus relapsing with her old illness, but she still did it without any reason. Not only that, but she also ate scrambled eggs with chili peppers made by Qiao Yixia on the basis of her original cold. made the pain of suffocation this time deeply tug at the tip of her heart.

She has always been a perfect and impeccable person in the eyes of the outside world, and some people even worship her as a legend. And frailty has become her only weakness, she is unwilling to show her vulnerable side to others, if she can, how she wishes she could become an invincible iron man.

Qiao Yixia stood outside the door and sent a text message to Shi Wei, saying that he couldn't go. She leaned against the bedroom door, paying attention to the noises in the room, making sure nothing happened to Luci.

Everyone has a weakness and a cowardice that others can't see. Everyone has a past, and they all have fragile pasts that they don't want to tell others. Some feelings are like the black blue left on the leg after stumbling, and there is no feeling if you don't touch it, but with a gentle touch, the fine pain will pull up the fragile nerves and penetrate into the atrium.
