Chapter 28: I'm Not Squeamish
After sending Lan Xuewu upstairs, Qiao Yixia didn't come down for a long time, which made Lu Xifei feel a little depressed, and the dull breath in the car made her chest feel stuffy, so she opened the car door and walked outside. It turned out that Qiao Yixia didn't come down, but stood aside to answer the phone. I could see that she looked nervous, something bad should have happened.
And Lu Xifei naturally thought of Chen Nianwei.
"Lu Guiping didn't hold on." Qiao Yixia hung up the phone and walked towards Lu Xifei next to the car, sighing, "Lu Yuanping also went, biting his tongue, saying that he had been shouting her name since hearing the news, and singing over and over again. ”
Thinking of the song "Knowing Lover", Qiao Yixia's eyes appeared Lu Yuanping's painful and desperate expression, this may be the best ending for him, there is no court, no trial, he has not been convicted, and he follows the person he loves most in his life with the most relaxed attitude.
"They are all relieved, but they pity Nianwei." The grievances of the previous generation eventually suffered the innocent next generation.
Lucie's eyes were lowered, her thin lips were closed, and the high bridge of her nose set off her temperament on this cold winter day. Qiao Yixia glanced at her, opened her lips lightly and said, "Professor Lu, there is one thing I have always been curious about. About that song "Knowing Lover". ”
In the hospital that day, after several of them arrived, the mobile phone on the bedside was playing "Knowing Love", which was obviously Luxi Fei's love song of Lu Yuanping and Lu Guiping. Lucy brushed her broken hair behind her ears, like a noble lady: "When people are about to live at the end of their lives, they always rely on some precious love to maintain their lives, and the frequency of her fingers hitting the sheets seems to be irregular, but in fact it is a cycle every once in a while, and she relies on that melody to show the love between her and her husband and evoke her own memories." And obviously, it was a song. ”
Qiao Yixia's smile became more and more obvious, she shrugged helplessly, approached Lu Xihua for a few minutes, and then said with a smile: "I'm not asking the professor how he guessed this song, but I'm curious that Professor Lu actually heard this song." ”
Lu Xifei was so speechless by her words, her face turned slightly red, but her good psychological quality was still enough to keep her in a calm state.
She said coldly and haughtily, "You're laughing at me. ”
"I swear, I didn't." Qiao Yixia raised his right hand to make an oath as he spoke, then pressed the car key, opened the car door, and then looked up at Lu Xifei, "I'm humiliating you." ”
When Qiao Yixia said the word humiliation, she should have understood that she was undoubtedly challenging the limit of Luci's patience. A character like Lu Xifei, who is tall and arrogant, has a heart higher than the sky, and can only accommodate herself in her eyes, where would she have thought that one day it would be the turn of others to say such things to her. She got into the car in silence and sat in the back seat, hugging her shoulders without saying a word. The air conditioner was running hard, but it couldn't cover the chill that kept bubbling out of her body.
Qiao Yixia looked at her pursed lips from the rearview mirror in the car, and could only soften her tone and say, "It's my fault, it's just a joke with you."
And Lu Xifei didn't mean to embarrass her, but just coughed dryly and asked, "I can listen to this kind of song, is it strange?" Seeing her look of wanting to know the answer but suppressing herself, Qiao Yixia couldn't help laughing.
"Not really." Qiao Yixia replied while controlling the steering wheel, "I just think that a cold and beautiful professor of criminal psychology opened the CD on a long and lonely night, and played songs like "Knowing Love", "Tea Mountain Love Song", and "The Shy Rose Quietly Opens", which felt a little strange. ”
In Qiao Yixia's imagination, Lucie's noble image of a lady should be matched by some equally elegant piano pieces or violin concertos, rather than old love songs, not cheesy, but not quite in line with the image she has always created. That's why it makes her laugh.
I thought that Lu Xifei would say, "Your imagination is really rich", but unexpectedly, Lu Xifei did not refute immediately, but frowned slightly, and then said slowly: "How do you know." ”
This time, Qiao Yixia wanted to laugh even more, she just wanted to tease her, but she was really blinded by herself. With the illusion in his mind that Lu Xihua listened to the shy rose quietly with an intoxicated expression, Qiao Yixia felt that she almost had a stomachache when she couldn't help laughing.
And Lucy's cold voice shattered her illusions: "If you think I'm going to be intoxicated when I listen to a song, then I think you've watched too many TV series or romance novels." I am different from you, you mortals listen to songs for entertainment, and I am here to dabble in a wide range of things. ”
Qiao Yixia really smiled, jokes are jokes, but what Lu Xifei said still makes sense. Like the case of the two Chen Lu brothers this time, music played a crucial role, whether it was the song "Twin Flowers" or the later "Intimate Lover", it was undoubtedly the key point of the case. In addition, Lu Xifei is really a terminal patient of the second middle disease, and one bite is a mere mortal, which is easy to say. Helplessly, Qiao Yixia stopped making a sound, leaving enough time for the "fairy sister" to rest.
After returning to the house, Lu Xifei went straight back to the bedroom, and Qiao Yixia thought to herself that she should have taken a bath. I went back to my room with the same intention. This inexplicable strange smell on the body is really a fatal crisis for two patients with extreme cleanliness.
It's really comfortable to wear your own clothes. Qiao Yixia, who came out of the bathroom, thought to herself. She is not used to wearing the clothes that Lu Xifei prepared for her, but it has nothing to do with cleanliness, after all, it is a new dress, but like this, she eats her, wears her, and uses her, Qiao Yixia always has a feeling of eating people with a soft mouth and short hands. So when I sent Lan Xuewu home, I simply sorted out my clothes and brought them with me.
And the strange thing is that I finally don't have to worry about the temporary mission, Qiao Yixia didn't want to sleep Meimei after taking a bath, but to see what Lu Xifei was doing.
At this moment, Lu Xifei is in her exclusive secret room, holding chalk in her hand and writing on the blackboard. This is an essential step in the process of studying criminal psychology, and Luci draws a square in the center of the blackboard, with a question mark in it, and several arrows radiate from the square, pointing to the analysis of various situations.
Qiao Yixia stood outside the door, almost startled by Luxi who suddenly opened the door. Luci had a calm face, and walked out without looking at her.
"Professor, what are you going to eat tonight? I'm going to wash the vegetables. Qiao Yixia asked.
"What do you think you don't burn my kitchen, so I'll eat it." Luci walked to the staircase without looking back.
"Professor, where are you going?"
Lucy froze, turned around and said, "Are you going to spy on me twenty-four hours a day?" ”
"It's not." Qiao Yixia shook her head awkwardly, "I want to say, can you not change too many clothes a day, my hands are swollen from water." For example, the dress in the morning, obviously only wore it for breakfast, and threw it into the laundry room, and she didn't dare to use the machine to wash that kind of expensive clothes, and she was always worried that Lu Xifei would not be satisfied if she couldn't wash it clean.
"As an incompetent babysitter, all you have to do every day is wash a few clothes. If that alone makes you feel wronged, then you can leave. ”
Sometimes Qiao Yixia felt that she was very close to her, as if she had known her for several years or even more than ten years, but she joked with her at will, but when she looked at herself with such indifferent eyes and spoke to herself in such a cold voice, Qiao Yixia would feel that her tenderness was all her own imaginary memory. And it was such a Luxi who was so close to herself that she was about to be overwhelmed.
The day passed very peacefully, and the two of them barely spoke again until after dinner, Qiao Yixia made two green vegetables according to Qingye's record book, and Lu Xifei didn't pick anything.
Lu Xiyu didn't eat much, and he didn't leave the table immediately after he was full, but waited for Qiao Yixia to finish eating. Qiao Yixia's relationship was not good, and it was not all because Lu Xifei spoke coldly to her in the afternoon, and Chen Anhe's case had too much impact on her, thinking that her former friend had become a lonely and crazy patient like this, she couldn't raise much interest.
"Professor, thank you for accompanying me to dinner." Qiao Yixia raised the corners of her mouth politely, then got up and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, "You just go and get busy, I'll clean up my things." ”
Lu Xifei didn't leave, but sat on the chair and said lightly: "If you really don't want to wash your clothes, forget it, just wash your own." ”
"I didn't want to wash, but ......"
"It's that you don't think I need to change more than two clothes a day." Lucy interrupted her, and then said sternly, "But I have too many clothes, and whenever the seasons change, designers or people in charge of brands like D&G, and Kenzo will always mail me some new styles, and I can't afford to wear them once because of other people's kindness." ”
"Anyway, the clothes won't run, so you can wear them next year." Qiao Yixia patiently gave her advice.
Lucy looked at her in disbelief and said, "You let me wear Ji's clothes?" ”
Qiao Yixia then remembered that the person she was facing was Lu Xifei, not a passerby, Qiao Yixia had to say gently: "Okay, I don't mean anything else, let alone don't want to help you wash your clothes, don't be angry." ”
"I'm not angry, I'm just stating my point." "I don't like to force people, and if you find it difficult, I can wash my clothes myself." ”
Qiao Yixia didn't think about it and asked, "Do you know how to do laundry?" ”
"Can't I live without the nanny?" Lucy raised her eyes, her long eyelashes flickering proudly like peacock feathers, "I'm not that squeamish. Not all people with superior living conditions have wealth and nobility, and they can't carry their shoulders and can't lift them, and she hired a nanny not because of how squeamish she is, let alone because she wants to show how noble her identity is, but because her busy work makes her rarely have time to do physical work.
Qiao Yixia looked at the almost omnipotent Lu Xifei and sighed: "Sure enough, those who are really squeamish are often not very squeamish. Qiao Yixia has also seen many people who have been pampered by their families since they were children, and they have to help their mothers serve meals and wash clothes at the age of ten*, but that kind of girl has extremely poor self-reliance and often can't become too big a climate.
Lu Xifei sneered: "Officer Qiao is taking it for granted again. ”
"Professor Lu's family is well-off, beautiful, and smart, he should be the pearl in the palm of his hand, but he is rarely not squeamish." These remarks are indeed Qiao Yixia's sincere words.
But Lu Xifei obviously disagreed: "If the family is well-off and has the conditions to be squeamish, then I should naturally praise Officer Qiao with the same words." Officer Qiao's family is also wealthy, isn't it not squeamish? ”
