Chapter 140: Vacation by the Sea
Naturally, all that Lu Xue took out were cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, and cosmetics for female soldiers, which didn't look like any famous brands (maybe I just didn't know them). Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut our family is all businessmen who deal with people all day long, and when we get the gifts, we are more or less surprised, and I don't know if it's true or not.
"Is there any mine then?" I asked.
"Of course there is! How can a little birthday star not have it? She pulled out a blue box, "This is for you, but not for the military." I didn't find anything you liked there. ”
I opened the box and inside was a pair of glasses, "AR mirrors? Is it the same as an athletic school? ”
She smiled, "The one in the athletic school is a research item, and it can't be given to you." This is the product that Veken will go public in the second half of the year. You've got a sneak peek. ”
I realized that everything Luxue did was carefully prepared. Dressing up like a little girl and making well-behaved gestures is to show that she is a good match for me. Wearing a short skirt and directly exposing her prosthetic leg is to show that she can live like a normal person. The purpose of using military goods as gifts is not to look shabby in my nouveau riche family. Apparently she was anxious to get her parents to accept her as a prospective daughter-in-law. Listening to her whispers as she chatted with her parents, with a clear flattering tone, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
"Ouyang," said his father, "today is Huaiyu's twentieth birthday. It was not easy for me to come back with his mother and brother. So we booked a trip to the beach for the weekend. I don't know if you'd like to go with us. ”
"Dad, why don't you discuss it with me?" I began to protest, "Luxue can't go to the sea." ”
"It's okay." "We booked beach villas and yachts. It is impossible for so many of us to go to the sea at the same time, and we will not leave you alone on the shore. ”
"Then I won't go to the sea, I'll accompany Luxue." I say.
Luxue smiled, "No, I can go swimming in the sea." ANE's smart prosthetics are designed to resist seawater corrosion. Just in time to give it a try. I've even got a swimsuit! ”
"Oh?" I asked, "Have you investigated my parents' whereabouts?" Otherwise, all the swimsuits are brought. ”
"What a lie!" She still had a smile on her face, but there was a hint of disgust in her eyes when she looked at me. "Where am I going to investigate my uncle and aunt? I've been out for days, and it's always possible to swim, and besides, the swimsuit doesn't take up space. ”
We took two cars and our nanny to a seaside resort more than 200 kilometers away. Several of us changed into swimsuits. The mother and eldest sister are one-piece, Luxue is a yellow bikini, and the sides of the briefs are only two fingers wide. It's the first time I've seen Luxue dressed so little. Sitting on the yacht, I saw her put a latex stocking over her right leg until it was above the break. "Sister, didn't you say that prosthetics are not afraid of seawater?"
"Yes! However, seawater is too corrosive after all. Artificial skin has a lifespan. If I don't protect it, it will be inconsistent with the color of my skin if I do it too many times. ”
I stroked the scar from the dagger stab on her abdomen. She looked at the bite marks on my shoulder, the scar on the top of my head, and the place where she kicked me in the chest, "Does it still hurt here?" ”
"When did this happen? Besides, what does this injury compare to yours? ”
She put her arm around my shoulder, "Don't say that! The more you say that, the more heartache I feel. ”
After playing in the sea, the six of us had another game in the pool in front of the villa. Despite her disability, Ruxue won the undisputed title, and only her father, a former soldier, could barely compete with her.
Before lunch, I rinsed up, changed my clothes, and went upstairs to find Luxue. Instead of arranging my room with Luxue upstairs, my parents let me live downstairs, seemingly unwilling to let us get too close.
Luxue was still in the bathroom. "Don't come in, I'm not dressed."
"Then why don't you break the door?"
"Alright, come in and do me a favor." I walked into the bathroom and saw her in light-colored underwear, sitting on the toilet seat, her hair still wet, and she was peeling off the tattoo on the broken right leg. Then she pressed the back of her calf a few times, only to hear a "click", and the entire prosthesis was removed by her.
In the middle of her severed limb was a two-finger-thick metal rod with an electrical jack and guide slot in the middle. At the tip of the prosthesis is a round hole that fits into a metal rod. Luxue separates the pair of seals that had been prepared together. The outer one was covered by a metal rod implanted in her thigh, and the inner one was tucked into the hole at the tip of the prosthesis.
She picked up her prosthetic leg and handed it to me, "Help me get this outside." Then he stood up on one leg with the water tank in his hands. I hurried to help her. "No, I'll do it myself." She leaned against the wall, supported her body with her left leg, then jumped to the basin in a few steps, lifted the stump of her right leg and reached under the faucet, and began to rinse with water.
I put the prosthetic leg next to Lu Xue's bed and turned around to look at Lu Xue. She had jumped to the door.
"I'll help you!" I put her arm around my neck and put her on the bed.
"I'm sorry. When I'm at home, I always have a pair of crutches next to my bed. I can't take it with me when I go out. ”
I asked, "It's time to start eating." I'll help you get dressed? ”
"I'll have to wait for my legs to dry. If it's wet, it'll be swollen. I'm not going down. I don't want to jump one foot at a time. ”
"How's that good? We eat and leave you alone here. ”
"It's okay, I'm not hungry yet. Eat first! ”
I had no choice but to go downstairs.
"What about Ouyang?" Mother asked.
"Her prosthetic leg was removed and she had to wait for her leg to dry. She said she wasn't hungry and let us eat first. ”
"How does this work?" The father said, "How can you leave a guest to eat by yourself?" ”
The mother continued: "If she doesn't say it, can she not be picky in her heart?" ”
The brother said, "She can't go, so you can take her down!" You've been together for so long, you hug her less! ”
I turned and went upstairs. Lu Xue was leaning on the quilt and looking at her phone. She has an extra long-sleeved shirt on her body, and her lower body is still only underpants. The left leg is bent at the knee, and the right leg is spread flat on the bed. Her shadow in the backlight looks beautiful, but it is full of sadness.
She looked at me, "Why are you back again?" She asked.
"Our family thinks that the guests don't come to eat because the host is not well entertained."
"It's a nuisance. Why is your family so exquisite? ”
"Come on, I'll carry you down."
She pushed my hand away, "Wait, I'm not wearing pants yet!" ”
"Afraid of what? It's all family. ”
"I'm not from your family. Even if you are in the family, will your sister-in-law only wear underwear in front of your dad? ”
"My sister-in-law is still wearing a swimsuit!"
"Then I'll wear a swimsuit, too."
