Chapter 175: The Night the Stars Fell
Zhou Li had already told Lu Qianshui in advance that someone would eat at home in the evening, I don't know why, the little girl didn't seem to be in a good mood, but she just let out a faint sigh.
Standing in front of the door of the Lu family, Li Zijin was a little nervous, and only after arranging his hair and skirt did he let Zhou Li knock on the door.
Soon, a crack was opened in the door, and Lu Wanshui cautiously poked his head out from behind the door, and then was knocked by Zhou Li: "It's not an underground party joint, it's so mysterious, hurry up and open the door." ”
Lu Xiaoshui glared at him a little angrily, then glanced at Li Zijin, who was smiling and waving behind Zhou Li, and pulled the door open.
Li Zijin bent down, smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello little sister of weak water~"
Lu Qiaoshui looked up at her hair, which was ...... longer than herself. And look at her breasts, which are bigger than her own...... Look at her legs, they are longer than her own...... Suddenly looked a little depressed, reached out and shook it gently, and said, "Sister, hello." ”
Li Zijin laughed, took two large bags of snacks from Zhou Li's hand, and handed them to Lu Qianshui: "Brought to you~"
After lowering his head and hugging the gift, Lu Wanshui whispered, "Thank you." I'm going to boil water to make tea. ”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran back, making Zhou Li a little helpless, Li Zijin didn't seem to notice anything.
After entering the door, after Li Zijin hung his clothes on the hanger, he took Zhou Li and ran to his room with great interest.
Pushing the door in, Li Zijin looked around curiously, and finally sat on the edge of the bed: "This is your room?" It's not as dirty as I imagined. ”
Zhou Li took off his hat and gloves and put them on the table, and sighed helplessly: "I'm very diligent." ”
When he thought of the pile of clothes and things in Li Zijin's bedroom, he was quite helpless, although Li Zijin opened and closed the door quickly, but he couldn't stand Zhou Li's eyes.
Coats and coats are forgotten, underwear is also thrown everywhere, and there are various types...... Well, in short, Zhou Li has seen everything that should be seen and what should not be seen.
Well, it's actually quite eye-catching, but there is no need to say this, otherwise the angry boss sister will be angry again.
didn't know that the things he hid were all clearly seen by Zhou Li, and Li Zijin was still flipping Zhou Li's things with great interest, just like Lu Qiaoshui's treasure hunting adventure.
But the room is not big, and there are only a few things in Zhou Li, except for some books and things sent by friends, there are only a few clothes left.
In the end, Li Zijin, who had not found anything, lay on Zhou Li's bed without any scruples, and sighed: "It's so simple." ”
Zhou Li pretended not to squint and nodded, then quietly squinted at the posture of the boss's sister, and finally his eyes were attracted by the slightly turned up skirt, between the rounded thighs wrapped in black pantyhose...... It looks like it feels great!
His palm couldn't help but shake it behind him, well, it's better to touch it another day.
Not perceiving the ghost animal thoughts that occasionally erupted in the man's heart, Li Zijin turned over on Zhou Li's bed, fiddling with the alarm clock at the head of his bed, and as a result, his delicate and slender legs were completely looked at by Zhou Li's eyesighted eyes.
One of the unhealthy outbursts of thought even used his ability to slow down time dozens of times to look closely, his gaze moving up and down her delicate ankles, across the smooth curves of her calves, along seductive silhouettes, and finally stopping in the gap between skirts and pantyhose.
This angle doesn't seem very good!
Just when Zhou Li was about to change his posture and angle with a serious face, Li Zijin in front of him suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Li, which made him quickly recover to a serious appearance, and looked down at his palm and the fingerprints on the researcher...... Well, the recent trend of the relationship line seems to be good!
"Zhou Li, that ......" she hesitated for a moment, and said seriously: "If you are not used to staying here, do you want to live in my house?" ”
There is only a bed, a table and a chair, and a cabinet with clothes, although life is completely enough for Zhou Li, who does not pay attention to these, but it seems that it is a little insufficient in Li Zijin.
Although I already understand that Zhou Li has lived here for three or four years, it still feels a little too simple.
Zhou Li didn't react for a while: "Huh? What the? ”
"I mean, if you don't like it...... Otherwise, come to my house and stay there. She looked around a little wanderingly, and whispered, "I still have an empty room there." ”
"What else do you think?"
Zhou Li couldn't help but want to knock her forehead like knocking Lu Qiaoshui: "I'm fine here, and there is a little girl to take care of." ”
"Oh."
The suggestion that he finally mustered up the courage to put forward was rejected by Zhou Li, Li Zijin seemed a little lost, leaned on the bed and said, "She doesn't seem to like me." ”
"You're thinking too much. Children are more afraid of life. ”
Hearing Zhou Li speak for other women, Li Zijin felt a little surprised in his heart, "But...... She's a freshman in high school. ”
"The first year of high school is also a child." Zhou Li finally couldn't help but knock on her head: "What are you thinking about when you're so big, I'm her guardian, and I always have to take responsibility." ”
Li Zijin glared at him with slanted eyes that were quite unkind, and muttered in a low voice: "It's a good thing to be responsible, but what if you take yourself in?" ”
In this regard, Zhou Li could only pretend not to hear it.
Soon, Zhou Li carried the ingredients into the kitchen and started to work, while the two foodies, who were also not good at cooking, could only sit in the living room and look at each other speechlessly.
Lu Qianshui was lying on the sofa watching TV as usual, but I don't know why Li Zijin felt a little embarrassed, so he could only watch TV with Lu Qianshui in the same way.
The boss sister, who was originally long-sleeved and good at dancing, ran into a wall in front of Lu Xiaoshui in her autistic form, and every time she found a topic, it would end after just a few sentences, and then she became more and more embarrassed.
For example, when watching the movie channel, Li Zijin said with interest: "This is good, "Cold War"? , suspense films, I've always wanted to watch it. ”
Then, Lu Xiaoshui would nod lightly, and then lightly spoiler: "The mastermind behind the scenes is Peng Yuyan." ”
"Uh......" Li Zijin was suddenly embarrassed: "Have you seen it?" ”
"Hmm."
"Okay, then change ......"
Li Zijin picked up the remote control, changed the channel, and finally started to play Conan on the TV.
Two minutes later, Lu Qiaoshui pointed to the screen and said, "The murderer is that fat man." ”
Suddenly, it was cold again.
"You've seen this too?"
"No, but you can see it." Lu Xiaoshui shook his head lightly and said in a low voice: "The plot of this kind of film is easy to guess." ”
So, embarrassed again.
For a whole hour, the conversation between the two was like a wronged daughter-in-law and a harsh sister-in-law, so much so that after Zhou Li came out of the kitchen, he felt a burst of embarrassment.
On Christmas Eve, after dinner, Li Zijin and Lu Qianshui both received the apples that Zhou Li bought, and Zhou Li also went to subspace in the middle and brought two to Qichu.
The girl, who didn't seem to know what loneliness was, felt that it tasted good after eating it in two bites, and then took the apples that Zhou Li received from Lu Qiaoshui and Li Zijin and ate them.
This made Zhou Li want to cry without tears - the apple he received since he was a child, and he was stunned that he had never tasted a bite of it until now.
But looking at her smile, Zhou Li was already satisfied, and after not being able to rub Lu Qiaoshui's hair, Zhou Li put all his complexes for rubbing other people's hair on Qi Chu's head.
After crumpling the long straight black hair into a mess, and then restoring Qichu to its original appearance, the girl's expression was puzzled and curious from beginning to end, which made Zhou Li couldn't help but have a strong sense of guilt.
"I've been so busy lately that I don't have much time to come, so I'm sorry." He looked at Qichu's ignorant eyes, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face, "Anyway, Qichu, Merry Christmas." ”
After dinner, Li Zijin proposed to set off fireworks, she brought a lot of them herself, anyway, there is a small fireworks processing company under the Times Group, and Li Zijin can get a lot of fireworks every year, but she is not interested in putting them, and the benefits are sent down.
This time, she simply took all the fireworks that had been in her basement for a year, and planned to release them together.
The proposal was well received by everyone, after all, it was quite embarrassing to sit in front of the TV and I saw you.
In recent years, in order to prevent fire, the city government has banned unauthorized fireworks and designated fireworks sites, the nearest one in the river.
When Zhou Li and the others arrived in their car, many people had already started to light fireworks on the dry riverbed, the sky was streaked by the light of various flames, and many children were shouting excitedly and playing nearby.
Lu Qiaoshui volunteered to light fireworks and ran down the river pond with the largest one; Zhou Li and Li Zijin, who were not interested in this, stood behind, looking up at the colorful flames rising into the night sky.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of fireworks and human voices, Li Zijin looked up at the fireworks burning in the black night sky and felt the silence he had not seen for a long time.
Slowly, her gaze fell from the sky, and she looked at the side face of Zhou Li beside her.
Sensing her gaze, Zhou Li turned his head to look at her suspiciously, feeling as if she had something to tell him.
Li Zijin smiled, withdrew his gaze, and looked intently at the flames in the sky.
This time, it was Zhou Li's turn to look at her delicate side face in the glow of the fireworks.
"Zhou Li."
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the silent Li Zijin suddenly made a voice, as if he was whispering to himself, "I've been wondering if I'm a very shallow woman." ”
"Huh?" Zhou Li's eyes flashed with doubts and puzzlement.
A complicated smile appeared on her raised cheeks: "If that's not the case, then why are you so reluctant to tell me so many things, is it because I can't do anything?" Isn't that fair...... It's so unfair. ”
Zhou Li was silent, not knowing how to answer. He has too many secrets to share with others, and he can't treat this budding relationship unreservedly like Li Zijin.
Because of this, he was a little silent and a little lost.
Just in the sound of the fireworks, in the shadows where the fireworks could not be found, Li Zijin stretched out his palm without any guilt and clenched Zhou Li's hand.
"Zhou Li, I really want to get to know you."
She muttered in a low voice and held Zhou Li's palm, feeling that she didn't have the courage to look into his eyes. "I ...... Didn't want to marry a man I knew nothing about. ”
Feeling the slight tremor and coldness of her palms, Zhou Li could only clench hard, "I'm sorry." ”
With a bitter smile, he whispered, "There are some things I can't tell you, but I'll try to let you know everything else." ”
After a pause, he said seriously: "Believe me, one day, I will tell you those things as well." ”
Li Zijin was stunned for a moment, smiled, and nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”
In the river pond, Lu Xiaoshui finally mustered up the courage, carefully lit the bundle of fireworks, and then ran away like a frightened hamster.
Brilliant fireworks rose into the sky, in the light of light, she seemed to have completed a great and arduous task, smiling proudly, looking for Zhou Li in the crowd, just when she saw the two people standing hand in hand, a trace of loss vaguely flashed in her eyes.
Unconsciously, her palms trembled, and the air resounded with a short, hallucinatory sound that was fleeting, drowned out by the noise.
But a warm current spread from her fingertips, diffused in the cold wind, and finally disappeared.
No one saw it, just in the sky of countless fireworks, behind the clouds, a subtle but fiery light flashed silently, like a blade cutting through the starry sky, disappearing at the end of the stars.
A 'star' has quietly fallen.
