She tugged back her long black hair, a strand of hair sticking to her right cheek, stained with light sweat. Lucy rose to her feet, took a deep breath, and lay back on the bed, staring straight at the ceiling, her lips white, her cheeks unusually sallow, her right hand clenched into a fist under the blanket, her knuckles pale.

"Joe."

Hearing this, Qiao Yixia quickly opened the door and came in, looking at Lu Xifei who was lying on the bed with her eyes gently closed, she walked to the side of the bed, holding the light salt water that had just been boiled for her, Lu Xihua was hot, and drinking some light salt water would help her body recover.

"Professor Lu, I'm sorry." I'm sorry for wearing your coat and causing you to catch a cold and fever.

Lucy opened her eyes half-open, and watched her sit up from the bed with a glass in her hand, leaning against the back of the bed, trying not to let herself look abnormal in front of Qiao Yixia because she couldn't breathe. She stretched out her hand to Qiao Yixia, took the glass in her hand, lowered her head and drank a few sips of water, then raised her head and said to her, "It's none of your business." ”

Luci put the cup on the bedside table and said lightly: "Go ahead, don't miss a big thing because of me." ”

Qiao Yixia was no longer surprised by Lu Xifei's clever calculation, she just shook her head and said, "I have already told the stone team that I will not go today." ”

"Joe, don't forget our bet." She only gave her three days, and if she couldn't find the real culprit within three days, she couldn't be free.

But Qiao Yixia ignored her words, lowered a pair of beautiful eyes and said to her firmly: "I only know that I have to take medicine when I am sick." ”

"I don't like bitterness." Luci closed her eyes again, and it could be seen from her inadvertent frowning brow that she was suffering from illness at this moment.

Qiao Yixia didn't say anything more, turned around and left the bedroom. When she came back again, Luci was still in her square position, her eyes slightly closed, leaning against the back of the bed. Qiao Yixia stepped forward and grabbed her back with one hand and laid her flat on the bed, it was obvious that Lucy felt her movements, but did not open her eyes. Qiao Yixia put a wet towel over her forehead and pulled the blanket up.

Lu Xifei has a habit of cleanliness, Qiao Yixia did not sit on her bed, at first she squatted on the side of the bed, carefully observed the changes in Lu Xifei, and then continued to help her change the towel, and then her legs were really sore, she only took a few newspapers and spread them on the ground, and then sat on the ground.

"Boundless ......"

Although the voice was not loud, Qiao Yixia still heard the whisper in her dream. Lu Xifei is a mysterious woman, at this moment, she is so close to Qiao Yixia, but people can't see through her heart. Qiao Yixia couldn't help but guess the "vastness" in Lu Xihua's mouth, this person, whether he is a man or a woman, must be an extremely good person, because he can make the legendary Professor Lu still haunt his dreams when he is sick.

Later, Shi Wei and Bai Ying called her again, saying that through their investigation, they could not find any relevant information about Lu Guiping's husband Lu Yuanping, and they suspected that Lu Yuanping used a pseudonym when he came to Ginkgo Village, and this confirmed Lu Xifei's speculation that Lu Guiping and Lu Yuanping had made a private decision for life.

According to Shi Wei's words, Lu Guiping and Lu Yuanping moved to Ginkgo Village six years ago, when they happened to meet a family in the village to move, so they sold the house to Lu Yuanping and his wife at a low price.

is a little different from Qiao Yixia's guess, Qiao Yixia thought that it would be the woman who was opposed by her family, but she didn't think that it was the man.

About in the evening, Qiao Yixia went downstairs to cook millet porridge for Lu Xifei, who was quite well-behaved and didn't hold on to not eating. Qiao Yixia fed her a bite and she ate it, although she knew that it was not a gentleman's act to take advantage of people's danger, but Qiao Yixia couldn't help but take advantage of her when she looked at her cute appearance, and touched her face "by the way" when she tested the temperature of her forehead.

Although Lu Xifei was sick, his combat effectiveness was not weakened: "Officer Qiao, I can sue you for flirting with a woman from a good family like this." ”

Qiao Yixia couldn't help laughing, it was very strange, why didn't she like to laugh on weekdays, but after meeting Lu Xifei, she was always amused by her intentionally or unintentionally. Qiao Yixia put the empty ceramic bowl on the bedside table and pretended to be stern: "You have no evidence, how can you sue me?" ”

Luci didn't want to dwell on this topic with her anymore, and after drinking the porridge, she felt that her head was not as painful as before, but she still had difficulty breathing, and her chest ached faintly. Qiao Yixia asked her if she was still drinking, she just lay on the bed, pulled up the blanket and said, "I'm full, you go downstairs and drink some." ”

"It's okay, I'm not hungry."

"Who cares if you're hungry or not, I just want you to know how bad the porridge you cook tastes."

Seeing that Lu Xifei gradually recovered her combat strength, Qiao Yixia did not quarrel with her, but nodded and said that she understood. After washing the dishes and chopsticks, he found that someone was coming, Qiao Yixia thought it was Shi Wei and others, but it was the postman. The envelope is beautifully packaged and doesn't look like it's been sent by an ordinary person. She had no intention of violating her*, but her heart beat a little faster when she accidentally glanced at the sender's name.

When she returned to the bedroom, she found Luci reading a book on the back of her bed, her slender fingers holding the cover, her thick eyelashes casting a shadow in the light.

"Don't read when you're sick."

Lucy listened to her, but still looked intently at the book she had read many times. Seeing that she didn't respond, Qiao Yixia continued: "I also like the books I write, but I read the translated version. ”

"When I'm reading, I don't like to be disturbed." Luci said lightly.

Qiao Yixia handed the letter to Lu Xifei: "Professor Lu, I have your letterhead." ”

"There's a wooden cabinet in the storage room with an iron box in it, help me put it in." Lu Xifei didn't even look at the heart in Qiao Yixia's hand, and looked at the collector's edition book in his hand seriously with a pair of watery beautiful eyes.

Originally, Qiao Yixia was reluctant to ask about other people's affairs, and this involved Lu Xifei's *, but the sender really aroused Qiao Yixia's curiosity, so she unconsciously asked, "Doesn't Professor Lu take a look?" ”

"Hmm."

"My dissertation in college was on social learning theory and the psychology of related topics." Albert Bandura, the founder of social learning theory in the United States, is known as the founder of social learning theory and has high prestige. Qiao Yixia looked at Bandura's fluent English and recalled many clips from his college days.

Lu Xifei stopped flipping through the book and moved his gaze to Qiao Yixia's body: "If you are so interested, I don't mind if you take it to see." ”

Although she admired Bandura, and had studied all of his works in middle school, she would not look at the letterhead of others, even with her master's permission: "I'll put it away for you." ”

Previously, when Luci was in the United States, Bandura had invited her to participate in the personality analysis and psychological research exchange meeting initiated by him, but she was not interested in it, which she had made clear when she had afternoon tea with him, but this psychological giant still wrote three letters in a row and sent it to her.

Jo Yixia took out the iron box from the wooden cabinet, she swore that she was not interested in the contents of the box, but her lips opened slightly when she saw the letter at the top.

"Professor Lu, it's better for patients to rest early." Back in the bedroom, Qiao Yixia re-examined Lu Xiyu.

"I can't bear to waste my time sleeping, because this damn cold has disrupted my original plans, so I'm going to delay my bed for an hour and a half, and I won't fall asleep until half past twelve tonight."

"Professor Lu, do you have any extra beds at home?"

"Your room is upstairs."

"Can I bring the mattress here?" Qiao Yixia asked.

"No, you can't." Luci said decisively, "I'm just cold, it's fine. ”

The most right thing Qiao Yixia did was not to refute Lu Xifei, because with such a woman who does not eat oil and salt, refutation is often in vain. But Qiao Yixia is not an idle person, her stubbornness does not belong to Lu Xifei at all, once she decides something, I am afraid that even nine cows will not be able to pull it back. So much so that when Lu Xihua opened his eyes the next day and saw Qiao Yixia lying on the ground, his pupils dilated slightly.

Lu Xifei took out the spray from under the pillow and sprayed it on her throat, and then exhaled calmly three times, she looked at Qiao Yixia who was sleeping under the bed, and had a strange feeling in her heart, this woman really didn't take what she said to heart at all.

Yesterday she was uncomfortable, put down the book after twelve o'clock and went to sleep, although the feeling of tightness in her chest made her feel uncomfortable, but mixed with the headache caused by the cold, she still quickly fell asleep, and as for when Qiao Yixia came to her bedroom, she didn't know. Luci looked at the time, five thirty o'clock, which was the time when she would wake up every day.

Today, presumably, it must be another fierce battle.

Lu Xifei shook her head slightly, the sense of chaos in her brain subsided a lot, presumably the heat had dropped, as usual, she got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath, and after washing, she returned to the bedroom to find that Qiao Yixia was still asleep. Lu Xifei looked at Qiao Yixia's sleeping face and shook her head, thinking that Qingye was much more diligent than her.

Walking through this ancient castle-like suburban villa, the dim light evenly smeared on Luci's body, and she wore a dark brown cardigan, the geometric shapes on which set off her curves. When she walked through the stairs and to the first floor, her face was almost as white as the freshly painted walls, and people who had never experienced this disease could not understand the pain of asthma, she lived the same time as ordinary people, but at every moment she could only feel less fresh air than others, and the heaviness of each step was like a sharp knife cutting through the heart, which would make people feel depressed about this life full of suffocation.

She closed the kitchen door, pressed her left hand against the wall, let out a violent cough, a sharp pain in her lungs, and after a moment of calming down, she leaned against the wall, her right hand clenched into a fist on her chest, she looked at the window, it was still dark.

When Qiao Yixia woke up, it was nearly seven o'clock, she rubbed her eyes, picked up the mobile phone next to her, and found that there were several missed calls from Shi Wei, and they were supposed to be turned on twenty-four hours a day, but yesterday she was afraid of noisy Lu Xifei to sleep, so she turned on the vibration, who knew that she was sleeping too deeply, and she didn't feel it at all.

By the time Qiao Yixia tidied up and went downstairs, Lu Xifei was already sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper elegantly. Lucifer's hair is loosely tied behind and there are two strands of broken hair on either side of her cheeks, making her look like a princess in a medieval royal family. There are two bowls of noodles on the table, mixed with some beautiful vegetables, which looks very appetizing.

"Thank you, Professor Lu."

I thought that Qiao Yixia would say sorry to her together, but when Qiao Yixia hooked the corners of her mouth and blinked her eyes and said thank you playfully, the resentment in Lu Xifei's heart disappeared in an instant, she put down the newspaper in her hand, and said indifferently to the woman in front of her: "Sit." ”
