41 Sustained assistance
When she woke up on the morning of July 4, Lu Qianqian was still very unfamiliar with the room where she had only slept for four nights, and after sitting up, she was familiar with someone standing in front of her desk.
"Why?" Lu Qianqian tightened the quilt for a moment. There is central air conditioning, so there is still a thin quilt at night.
Ying Mingyu didn't turn his head: "I knocked on the door, you seem to be the type who can't wake up." β
Does that explain why he came in on his own? She woke up very alarmed, maybe she drank some red wine for dinner yesterday, and after thinking about it like this, Lu Qianqian still couldn't let go of the quilt: "What are you looking at?" Can I go out first? β
"You'll do all of this?" Ying Mingyu was flipping through a hand-copied cookbook.
The handwriting has been written a lot from the initial naΓ―ve to the recent beauty, and the last few pages are written with special recipes, and the first to the twelfth have different names: sweet and sour all the way to various combinations of sweet and sour.
A person who won't follow him to find a conversation, but he has done this kind of thing that is too girly, no matter how she thinks, she just likes to study these very much, so she has such a big cookbook.
"That's ...... Something from before, did you see it? β
Ying Mingyu put down the notebook and turned to face her: "I'm hungry." β
Lu Qianqian sighed: "You go out first, and I'll make you breakfast right away." β
After finishing his work at the table, Lu Qianqian poured the milk and sat down, handing another cup to the person opposite.
"I said, I don't drink milk." Ying Mingyu knew what she was distracted about, and she hadn't figured out how to deal with his invasion of her room in the morning.
Lu Qianqian reluctantly put the two cups in his hand, planning to drink them hard later.
"It doesn't matter if you don't go to the bureau so late?" Anyway, she didn't plan to go today, and after a delay of nearly a day, she had to hurry up to finish the painting and frame it.
"If the case is solved, they can handle it, it doesn't matter if you go later." Ying Mingyu propped his head and looked at the daylight outside the window. And after he went, he had to go to the Fu Bureau to deal with him, and he had to explain Lu Qianqian's affairs, he was not very motivated.
Lu Qianqian was speechless, looked up at his posture and expression, and held his breath for a moment.
Ying Mingyu didn't speak with a lazy look, it was a crime, she wanted to draw it now.
Lu Qianqian felt that her little heart was a little overloaded, and this was just the beginning of her life, could she really persevere?
In the afternoon, when Ying Mingyu held a meeting to sort out the information of the case, suddenly everyone's mobile phones in the conference room rang or vibrated at the same time, except for him.
"Got a case?" He took out his phone to make sure it wasn't turned off, and asked anyway.
Everyone who looked at the mobile phone either coughed or laughed, but only Fan Hua took care of him: "It's a WeChat group, Lu Yatou is sending a message in it, you don't have WeChat, so you didn't receive it." β
"What did she say?"
"Greetings to entry......" Bao Zhan replied first.
Fan Hua just kept smiling, he wasn't going to say it, after he responded, Lu Qianqian asked him in the group, did he eat the steamed buns he brought last time?
Ying Mingyu glanced around, didn't ask again, and started the meeting.
After getting off work on time that night, Ying Mingyu went home and saw that Lu Qianqian was still coloring, and turned on the light in the living room. Although it wasn't dark yet, after he did so, Lu Qianqian immediately found out that he was back.
During dinner, Ying Mingyu handed the mobile phone to the person sitting at the long table: "Help me register a WeChat, and add you first." β
Lu Qianqian didn't know where he got his whim, they were all texting before, but this person really left everything to others to do, he only used his brain and opened his mouth.
As a result, before going to bed at night, Lu Qianqian received Ying Mingyu's WeChat: Did you sleep?
After watching it three times, Lu Qianqian chose to ignore it and pretended to be asleep.
On the morning of July 5th, Lu Qianqian subconsciously tightened the quilt before sitting up, and the person really lived up to expectations, standing in front of her desk and reading her sketchbook.
"You... Don't see the sign on the door? β
Ying Mingyu responded casually: "See, is there anything on the sign?" β
"Eh......" Lu Qianqian didn't ask again, "I'll get up and make breakfast right away." β
Ying Mingyu took one last look at her sketchbook, and the last one should have been painted yesterday, in which he looked out the window in a daze. He put down the notebook and went out first, he thought that his face was unattractive to her, he was still very confident in it, since he was in high school, there were a bunch of girls who circled around him for this face. Besides, didn't her friend just pester him a lot for this?
It seems that she doesn't have any special immune system, but has been converted into other nutrients, and he almost forgot that in her eyes he is just material, not a person. But he admired her memory, and after seeing it, he could restore it to such a point, like a camera.
After he left, Lu Qianqian quickly changed his clothes and went out, first looked at the sign hanging on the door, and found that it was turned to the opposite side. She lowered her head and mourned for a moment, then went into the room and took a pen, and soon added four words on the verso: Gentlemen do not enter. In this way, there are both pros and cons, Lu Qianqian hung the sign right, and then went to wash.
"I'm off today, do I want to buy anything? I'll take you there. β
"Huh?" His kindness made Lu Qianqian uneasy, "No, I'm going to cut my hair today, not to go shopping." β
"What about the parasols and tables and chairs on the balcony? Didn't you say you wanted to put it? Ying Mingyu pointed to the empty balcony, "That's a public area, I'll pay for it." β
"That's not in a hurry, you don't have many opportunities to use it anyway."
"Okay, it's time for me to cut it too, what do you want to cut it into, hot roll?" Ying Mingyu said nonsense casually.
Lu Qianqian did not answer.
Ying Mingyu didn't expect her to cut it short, and after her hair was trimmed, she looked over there, and the corner of her eye happened to sweep a person, who was about to enter the door.
"Isn't it a pity that it took so long to grow so long?" Ying Mingyu walked over and reached out to touch the top of her head, and then followed the end of her hair.
The warmth on his hands made Lu Qianqian feel some hairs on the back of his neck, and then there were some goosebumps on his entire back.
"But it's cute, too." Ying Mingyu didn't care about her stiff reaction in the mirror, leaned over and rested his chin on top of her head, looked in the mirror and commented.
He definitely took the wrong medicine! Lu Qianqian felt that the short hair on his head was about to stand up.
"Let's go." Ying Mingyu gave an order and handed the card to the barber.
As for the person who fled without entering the door, Ying Mingyu felt that it was quite easy to deal with, but judging from the fact that he would come here to wander around, it seemed that he had not given up.
This barber shop is near the community, Ye Shaojun picked up people outside the community the day before yesterday, and it is a simple reason to come over to find Lu Qianqian. I should have seen her in the store just now, thinking she was alone, so I wanted to come in and pretend to meet her.
"Handsome guy, do you want to get a card? You look like a regular customer, and there is a discount for applying for a card. "The cashier highly recommended it when he returned the card to Ying Mingyu.
Ying Mingyu shook his head to deal with it.
"Handsome guy, let's go, bring your girlfriend next time!"
For this kind of person who is too rich to be too lazy to apply for a card, the clerk has a positive and enthusiastic attitude.
When he went out, Lu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help muttering: "Why do a man and a woman walk together, they must guess that they are a couple?" β
Although she didn't refute it out of laziness to explain, this is the first time, the intermediary is like this, the part-time worker aunt is like this, and now even the clerk of an ordinary barber shop is like this.
Ying Mingyu turned her head to look at her, but she complained for the first time: "Otherwise, in this era when only children are prevalent, should they guess their brothers and sisters?" β
Not to mention what he did in the store just now, the clerk would think that it was a brother and sister who had ghosts, not to mention that their appearances were very different.
"It seems to be." Lu Qianqian accepted his statement, and didn't ask him what he was crazy about in the store just now.
"Now that you're out, I'll eat outside and go back." Ying Mingyu invited a lunch without asking for any advice.
In the afternoon, after Ying Mingyu got up from a nap, he used his own fitness equipment, and as for the other person, he had been drawing pictures and was not distracted at all. The same is true after dinner, Ying Mingyu was bored, took the book and looked behind her, and the coloring seemed to be almost finished.
She only has a matching chair, Ying Mingyu feels that there is something missing in this living room, and the last time she entertained guests, it was all chairs for the dining table, but fortunately, there were not many people and it was enough.
Suddenly the doorbell rang, Ying Mingyu looked at the unmoved person and went to open the door.
"Sorry for being so late......," the person outside the door stopped talking when he saw that it was different from what he had imagined, "Mr. Officer?" β
"Is there anything wrong with Mr. Liu? Looking for Lu Qianqian? Ying Mingyu let someone enter the door, and the person who came was a guest, he didn't know how to be polite.
Liu Tianming saw that he was wearing pajamas, didn't ask any more, and showed Ying Mingyu the things in his hand after entering the door: "Last time, classmate Lu gave me some tea, so I want to give her a little gift in return." β
He only knew that Lu Qianqian lived upstairs from him, and only after asking about the property did he know that she lived on top of him, but he didn't turn on the lights upstairs when he came back the night before yesterday, and he didn't come back until tonight on a business trip yesterday.
"Still drawing." After Ying Mingyu led people to the living room, he said something in advance.
Liu Tianming saw that it was the lotus pond picture last time, and went around to Lu Qianqian's back to take a closer look, and the finished picture was countless times more beautiful than the previous first draft, whether it was color or details, Liu Tianming wanted to give her a high score.
Ying Mingyu stood aside and watched for a while, and did not do anything to serve tea and pour water.
"Ah, wait." Seeing that Lu Qianqian opened the black bottle to change the pen and autograph, Liu Tianming stopped her.
Lu Qianqian walked out of the same state as he was settled, put down his pen and said hello: "I'm sorry, when did you come?" β
Liu Tianming smiled: "I just arrived, and Officer Ying opened the door for me." Actually, two days ago, someone gave me some painting materials, but I rarely use my pen now, so I picked a black stone and a paperweight to give to you as a return gift for tea. β
"How embarrassing, it's not a very expensive thing, this ink stone seems to be very good...... "After Lu Qianqian looked at the thing, he returned the paperweight, "If you only have the ink stone, I can accept it." β
"Do you want to try it now? Take it for the final signature? I'll help you with the ink, do you mind? Liu Tianming didn't tell her that the price of tea was also expensive, because of ginseng, but he found that she calculated it very clearly.
"No, it's embarrassing, and the color doesn't necessarily fit, so I'd better use the current one." Lu Qianqian is not so arrogant, and it is too arrogant to ask an older senior to help her study ink.
Liu Tianming still smiled: "Don't be so polite, but when are you free, can I ask you for a painting?" β
"It's the one in the hall, and I want to change it. You've already painted a lotus pond, I still want to have lotus fragrance, how about the autumn lotus picture? Will it be too difficult for you? β
Lu Qianqian looked at him with wide eyes, it seems that the last time he praised her, it was not completely flattery and deception, as a professional colleague, he wanted to ask her for a manuscript, which was not an ordinary honor and promotion.
"You're so polite, if you want, I'll draw it and give it to you."
"That's not what I said, you should have seen it, the horizontal drawing in the living room, according to that size, I will make an appointment with you for a draft at a reserve price of 30,000 yuan, and pay half of it first after the first draft is released, is it okay?" Liu Tianming is very serious.
Ying Mingyu was stunned, this person is very aggressive, much more active than Ye Shaojun: "Mr. Liu, Lu Qianqian is very busy now, and he may not be able to take over your work in the short term, can you go back first?" We're going to talk about it. β
Liu Tianming took the paperweight and turned his head to look at Ying Mingyu, who didn't speak much after entering the door: "I'm sorry, I forgot to consider Officer Ying, the time of love is also very important, it's late today, so I won't bother." β
After the guests left, Lu Qianqian was still holding the ink stone, and he couldn't help but ask Ying Mingyu: "What did you do?" Why did Mr. Liu think we were a couple? β
What was done? Ying Mingyu looked at what he was wearing, probably because he didn't do anything Liu Tianming misunderstood.
