Xia Yuan and Uncle Feng were already setting the dishes on the table.

"Huai Nian, it's all up, take a seat." Xia Yuan never expected that his assistant's scope of work was already extensive, and he went to the kitchen to cook. He's going to ask for a wage increase! Must go up! There are several of these dishes that he personally cooked!

Dishes and chopsticks were set up in front of everyone's seats, but there was only one cup containing two-thirds of the juice and a straw, and there were no chopsticks or plates.

When he took his seat, Lu Huainian sat in that seat.

Zhao Qi was arranged to sit on his left, and Guan Xi was next to Zhao Qi's left.

Xia Yuan and Uncle Feng came out of the kitchen, Xia Yuan was still wearing a dark apron and a pair of brand-new dishes and chopsticks in his hands. When the pair of chopsticks were handed to Zhao Qi, everyone looked at Zhao Qi in surprise and naturally took it and placed it in front of Lu Huainian.

Even Guan Xi was a little puzzled by her familiar movements: "When did you and Lu Huainian become so familiar?" ”。

Zhao Qi glanced at him and replied to him in a low voice, "Rub your food quietly, and don't talk much." ”

"You guys try it, don't dislike home-cooked food, because Lu Huainian is a little unwell today and is not suitable for going out, so I invited the two of you to come to the house." Xia Yuan took off his apron and put it aside.

Lu Huainian is not feeling well?

Zhou Zhou's mother glanced at Lu Huainian with concern, "Xiao Lu, where is it uncomfortable?" ”

Lu Huainian smiled lightly, "It's an old problem, it's not a big problem." Xia Yuan and Uncle Feng sat down to eat together. ”

"Auntie, uncle, try the braised eggplant and sweet and sour fish I made." Xia Yuan's personality belongs to self-familiarity, and he can quickly get acquainted with anyone. "Guan Xi, Zhao Qi, you can also try it, see if my craftsmanship is better or Uncle Feng's is better?"

Uncle Feng shook his head, didn't fight with him, and quietly ate with chopsticks.

"Lu Huainian, do you want to try it? Don't miss the opportunity. Xia Yuan highly recommended his own dishes, which amused the people at the table.

Zhao Qi shook his head when he saw Lu Huainian, and then somehow, Zhao Qi always felt that he was looking at himself.

While eating, Guan Yi next to her suddenly sandwiched a piece of bamboo shoot meat for her, "Try this, it's delicious." ”

"Really?" With an attitude of believing or not believing, Zhao Qi took a small bite and gave Guan Yi an appreciative look.

It was really delicious, and soon she ate the whole piece that Guan Xi gave her.

From the time Guan Xi put vegetables into her plate, Lu Huainian had been observing Zhao Qi's reaction, watching her eat the first bite and the second bite, until the bamboo shoots in the dish were eaten by her.

When Zhao Qi wanted to take another slice, he saw Lu Huainian sitting quietly in his seat, and the juice in the quilt did not move at all. Zhao Qi glanced at a week, Xia Yuan was chatting with Zhou Zhou's parents, and Uncle Feng was eating with his head down. For fear that others would hear it, Zhao Qi asked him in a low voice, "Do you want to taste this?" ”

After Lu Huainian shook his head, he coughed twice and quickly got up and left the seat.

Xia Yuan and Uncle Feng didn't keep up, thinking that Xia Yuan had just said that he was not feeling well, Zhao Qi put down the dishes and chopsticks and found an excuse to go to the bathroom to follow.

Through the door, Zhao Qi heard that he had been coughing. Really sick?

Knock.

Lu Huainian heard someone knocking on the door and cleared his throat, "Come in." ”

"Lu Huainian, are you okay?"

"Well, it's fine." He had fallen asleep like that yesterday, and the bedroom window had been open all night, facing the bed.

Hearing that he was still coughing intermittently, Zhao Qi brought him a glass of warm water. "Drink some, moisten your throat and it should be better."

Guan Xi saw this side when he passed by the door of Lu Huainian's room, and he said that where did Zhao Qi's familiarity with the plate just come from? It seems that this has been the case more than once a time ago.

"How is Zhou Zhou's matter?"

"I have a little clue, when Zhou Zhou's mother sends me the photo, I can start to investigate, and that person should be able to find it quickly."

Zhou Zhou's matter Lu Huainian cares about it because of human nature, but he cares more about other things.

Lu Huainian stared at her arm that was tightly wrapped in his coat, "Does it hurt?" ”

"What?"

"When he hits you, does it hurt?"

"Pain"

"Why don't you hide?"

Zhao Qi looked at his face, and didn't know why she didn't want to tell Guan Xi what she wanted to say to Guan Xi at the beginning, she wanted to tell Lu Huainian now. "I can't hide it, he can't hide it... There is something, although I don't see it clearly, but I'm scared... Angered him. ”

If she really stimulated the other party that day, she might not be able to run away.

Guan Xi leaned against the wall, no wonder she was so badly injured and didn't dare to resist.

For the same question, one gets silence and the other gets confession.

Guan Xi seemed to have something called disappointment flooding in his heart.

When resting in the courtyard of Lu Huainian's house, Guan Xi's face was a little abnormal, and before parting, Guan Xi asked Zhao Qi very seriously, "Zhao Qi, can't you stay away from Lu Huainian?" ”

Zhao Qi felt that he asked knowingly, "Stay away from Lu Huainian, how can I still check my father's affairs?" ”

"Isn't it me?"

Zhao Qi asked him in disbelief, "Will you tell me?" ”

Guan Xi quickly returned to the normal state of a hippie smiley: "How is it possible!" ”

Zhao Qi "cut~" and said, "Then what qualifications do you have to ask me?" ”

Yes, what qualifications does he have to ask her to stay away from Lu Huainian? said that he concealed more than Lu Huainian, and said that his qualifications were not as good as Lu Huainian.

At least Lu Huainian is just a victim, and he...

The small flame that burned in Guan Xi's heart dimmed little by little.

The distraught Guan Yi went out with his coat and wanted to calm down.

Zhao Qi and Xia Yuan sent Zhou Zhou's parents to the car, the car started, and Xia Yuan drove them away quickly.

Zhao Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now wait for Zhou Zhou's mother to go back and send those photos to her, and she asked someone to check them. Guan Yi originally suggested that she call the police, but she wanted to wait.

As for what to wait for, it may be that he is afraid that Zhou Zhou's parents will be disappointed, or he may be afraid that his report is really wrong as the man said.

"Zhao Qi, come in, it's cold outside." Lu Huainian walked through the courtyard and walked towards her, he was only wearing a black sweater.

Hearing Lu Huainian's voice, Zhao Qi looked into the courtyard.

The sky had already begun to fall snowflakes, and Zhao Qi noticed that the position of his shoulder was a little faintly white from a distance, and then it quickly disappeared. "It's snowing outside, don't come out."

"Hmm," although his mouth responded, Lu Huainian's steps did not stop.

"Zhao Qi"

"Huh?" Zhao Qi, who heard the voice behind him, reacted, and his first reaction was not to run, but to shout to Lu Huainian opposite, "Lu Huainian, don't come here!"

"Zhao Qi, I said you couldn't run away." Zhao Qi knew that the man was behind him, and his voice was so close to him.

At this time, Lu Huainian also paid attention to the man wearing a hat behind Zhao Qi, the atmosphere was a little wrong, because Zhao Qi's face was obviously nervous.
