The main house of the Qiao family is in the western suburbs, which has been almost semi-idle in recent years, and Yuan Lu's adoptive parents have been dispatched, and Yuan Lu usually only comes back occasionally on weekends to stay for one night, and hurries back to school the next day. Such a large four-story single-family building is only taken care of by two old nannies of the Qiao family, and the house is empty and not popular.

But as soon as Qiao Zhengqi came back, the house immediately came to life. Juliet in the garden has bloomed her second crop of the year, a warm and charming orange; The dolphin fountain in the center of the garden is again watered, and the coloured spotlights reflect the fountain showers in seven or eight brilliant colors at night. Even Pony, Qiao's eight-year-old West Highlands, knew that the real owner had returned.

Yuan Lu watched Pony roll in Qiao Zhengqi's arms for almost half an hour, and there was no intention of stopping, it was really angry and funny, it was really a wolf cub no matter how to feed it, didn't he usually treat it well? This met Qiao Zhengqi, but he didn't even look at her with a straight eye.

"Po, it's time to stop." Qiao Zhengqi rubbed its head and put it on the sofa.

"Little things are hateful, and if you don't comfort them, you won't stop." Aunt Zhang came down from upstairs and hugged two quilts that had been replaced, "Aqi, the things in your room haven't been touched, they have been taken care of once a week in the past few years, you can see if there is anything missing, call someone to send it." ”

Qiao Zhengqi's room Yuan Lu went once, and that time she was nagged by Aunt Zhang for half a month, usually she didn't allow anyone to enter, Aunt Zhang treasured everything about Qiao Zhengqi, and others couldn't touch it. Aunt Shanghai's temper is very drilly, and she speaks with the squeamishness of Shanghainese Wu Nong's soft words.

"Heron, did you bring back Nong's clothes to be washed this week? If the school can't be cleaned, bring back your grandma to help you wash it, don't you listen to it? Aunt Zhang rummaged through the suitcase that Yuan Lu brought back, and there were only a few changes of underwear and a few professional books in it.

Yuan Lu was a little embarrassed, and Aunt Zhang rummaged through her luggage in front of Qiao Zhengqi, and it was still underwear.

Yuan Lu burned his face, and while rushing to pull up the suitcase, he said, "Grandma, I know, bring it back next time." ”

When Qiao Zhengqi heard this, he actually said on the side: "Shanghainese is very good." ”

Yuan Lu's eyes widened, a little flattered, and when she came back from the hospital, the master didn't say a word to her along the way, which would make her little heart flutter.

"Ah, grandma usually speaks Shanghainese at home, and she will speak a few words in a few years."

Yuan Lu explained to himself, Qiao Zhengqi didn't say anything more, turned around and went upstairs. Seeing him disappear from sight, Yuan Lu was completely relieved, she had to be ten meters away from this master to be at ease.

At dinner, Aunt Zhang stewed a pot of sea cucumber black chicken soup, Yuan Lu was so hungry that her eyes were straight and she didn't see Qiao Zhengqi coming down from upstairs, Aunt Zhang rushed upstairs several times and no one answered, turned her head and said to Yuan Lu: "Lu Lu, Brother Nong must be tired and asleep, don't go up and tell him to let him sleep well, can you eat first?" ”

The rule on the dinner table of Qiao's family is that everyone will move the chopsticks when everyone is together, since Yuan Lu came to Qiao's house, it is even more beneficial, Aunt Zhang was afraid that she would be hungry, so she said: "I'll make some hot food for your brother later, you eat first." ”

Yuan Lu originally planned to wait, but when she heard Aunt Zhang say this, she didn't wait, but as soon as she picked up the chopsticks, there was movement on the stairs. Yuan Lu looked up and saw that Qiao Zhengqi had obviously just finished taking a bath, his hair was simply wiped off, the messy ends of his hair were still dripping with water droplets, and he was wearing a bathrobe from the O family.

She knew that Qiao Zhengqi was not an ordinary person, but she didn't know that he was so pleasing to the eye.

"Aqi is down? I just called you a few times and you didn't answer, let's eat. ”

Yuan Lu put down the chopsticks that he had picked up slightly embarrassed, and wanted to say hello, but the word "brother" was stretched in his mouth and couldn't be called, what could he call if he didn't call him? It's awkward......

"Uh, ...... eating" Hara lowered her head, hiding her suspicious cheeks.

Aunt Zhang saw Yuan Lu's embarrassment and embarrassment, and pinched Yuan Lu while serving soup for Qiao Zhengqi: "Lu Lu, your brother is back, you have to contact him more, don't be embarrassed, what is the embarrassment of the two brothers and sisters?" At first, I was a little embarrassed to be strange, just like when you first came, you were worried about a lot and didn't say a few words at the end of the day, but now how good it is, how close you are to your parents, grandmothers, and grandmothers, you have to kiss your brother like this. ”

Qiao Zhengqi coughed and took Aunt Zhang's soup bowl, obviously not very appreciative of Aunt Zhang's words.

Aunt Zhang glanced at Qiao Zhengqi, who had a faint look in her eyes, and felt that she hadn't said anything wrong, why was he unhappy? Aren't you happy to pick up a sister for nothing? People like them are afraid that there are few people, and Yuan Lu is a girl who is more worry-free, I really don't understand today's young people.

After dinner, Yuan Lu took Pony to walk in the community, and Pony was in a hurry to go back to Qiao Zhengqi after solving the dog's life. The original heron shouted all the way to run all the way, usually no matter how coaxed and refused to go home, today is good, after pulling the sa aunt and grandmother did not recognize a grunt and was in a hurry to go back to see the old master.

Yuan Lu chased after her a little angry, and suddenly felt that her world was about to collapse again because of Qiao Zhengqi's appearance, and even a dog was constantly reminding her that she was an outsider to this family, and once the real owner appeared, the problems she faced would come one after another. Unfortunately, Qiao Zhengqi didn't seem to like her very much, and he never showed her a smile from beginning to end. But comparing her heart to her heart, she also knows who would rarely have an extra person to share with her out of thin air?

Yuan Lu went home distraught all the way, and glanced at Qiao Zhengqi who was leaning on the sofa and Pony who was on his lap at the entrance door, and suddenly had a disheartened thought.

The owner of this family, the dog of this family, what is she doing when she comes back?

"Coming back? Po ran back by himself, and thought you had lost it. Qiao Zhengqi talked to her, didn't even raise his eyes, still stared at the TV screen, a faint tone, a faint greeting.

Yuan Lu let out a "hmm", didn't want to speak, and went straight upstairs.

Her room was on the second floor, which happened to be under Qiao Zhengqi's room, Yuan Lu walked to the door of the room and was stunned when she saw something on the ground, and there were two boxes of white chocolate from Gillian in front of the door. Yuan Lu bent down and picked up two boxes of chocolates, staring at them for a long time, maybe things weren't as bad as she thought, Qiao Zhengqi might ...... Don't hate her that much?

Yuan Lu was cheered up by these two boxes of chocolates, and his mood was much better, but as soon as he opened his phone, his mood immediately turned black smoke again.

Wu Jin sent her a text message: Junior high school reunion at 6 p.m. next Saturday, location: G Assembly Hall, with the words "business~must~out~seat".

What common topics can a group of people who haven't gotten together for many years have? It's nothing more than to see who is good at mixing with male classmates and who is beautiful to new heights among female classmates. And those people in junior high school, if they can, Yuan Lu will not want to deal with them again for the rest of their lives. She doesn't want to listen to or watch the things that are right and wrong, and she doesn't want to listen to them one by one.

Open WeChat sure enough, a new friend request has been added to the address book column, and the avatar is the black and white logo of AirJordan, and Yuan Lu is worried that Wu Jin, this kid will come up, so he won't want to go through guò verification.

"Happy, young master? You have to push me into the pit of right and wrong, don't you? What am I sorry for you? And we don't seem to know each other very well, do we? Yuan Lu sent a voice message with his head covered his face, and he didn't even bother to type. After sending it, he immediately threw the phone on the bed, and didn't bother to listen to Wu Jin's crooked words at all.

When she came out of the shower and picked up her phone again, it was already more than half an hour later, and the other party replied with a text message, and Yuan Lu clicked in: Okay, it seems that we really don't know each other very well......

Looking at such a reply, Yuan Lu's heart chuckled, and when he saw that the other party's reply time was twenty minutes ago, his heart sank even more. Yuan Lu nodded to each other's circle of friends with some trembling, the latest status is on December 24th, Yuan Lu clicked on the photo, tonight's network speed is exceptionally good, and it was opened in one second, this is a group of Christmas Eve returnee association Christmas party photos, Yuan Lu almost recognized the person in the group photo at first glance - Lin Mu.

It should have been thought of a long time ago, Wu Jin took her number, and in addition to himself, he would add her, and another person might also add her.

Yuan Lu quickly swept Lin Mu's circle of friends, and also mastered a lot of his recent situation, Cambridge Master has completed, joined the New York Stock Exchange, his life is almost several steps faster than others, when others are still struggling with their undergraduate thesis, he has completed his master's degree and got an offer from the world's largest stock exchange, and even only a year and a half after joining the company was sent to China to become a representative of Greater China.

Such a fierce life, Yuan Lu really dare not reach, such a proud character can intersect with her, it seems that it can only be in the student days when he is still ignorant. Lin Mu, her long-lost genius tablemate.

Yuan Lu took a deep breath, turned the mobile phone page back to the WeChat chat interface, and listened to his voice several times, he really wanted to die, how could he talk to Lin Mu in that tone.

Is that brutal and rude female voice really made by herself?

Yuan Lu was bitter and hateful to his voice, but the other party sent a message again: Sleeping?

Yuan Lu's heart was a little annoyed while being a little annoyed, and he thought for a while before replying: No.

The other party quickly replied to the message: Angered you?

Yuan Lu didn't know how to reply, so he briefly replied with three words: It's not you.

[I know it's not me, Wu Jin? 】

Yuan Lu looked at Wu Jin's two words and snorted, and typed the word "um".

[Let's talk, it's good just like that.] As soon as this text message came, the next voice message followed: "It's a little late, go to sleep, talk next time." ”

Yuan Lu listened to the warm male voice in the microphone, and his face suddenly burned hot, and even his heartbeat was out of rhythm. Yuan Lu blushed, a little afraid of being discovered, and carefully pressed the voice to listen again, chewing and listening three or four times before returning a good night expression.

This night, Yuan Lu carefully watched Lin Mu's daily status, and did not even miss a punctuation mark. On this day, Yuan Lu suddenly felt that in fact, her past was not all gloomy, at least Lin Mu, a mythical being, had brought her a glimmer of light when she was a teenager.

It's good that there have been people like this before.
