Chapter 146: Locked up

Xiang Ju finished a morning's work and went out for a walk.

This walk, I walked to the door of the room.

He reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no response inside, and then he gently pushed the door open again.

Zero Lu was sitting alone on the windowsill, leaning against the curtain with her eyes closed, and judging by the way she didn't realize that someone was coming in, she should be asleep.

A large part of the sunlight that was blocked by the curtains still came in a little, and the original perfect side face was even more beautiful and moving.

She had a book in her hand, and judging by the thickness, she should have read less than half of it......

Xiang Ju walked over lightly and reached out to touch her forehead, her body temperature was normal.

Then she picked up the book she had in her hand and flipped over to look at the cover - "Contemporary Astrology Research".

Is this girl still interested in astrology?

Xiang Ke sat on the ground and looked over it.

One person is seriously sleeping, and the other is seriously reading...... Time flew by, and after a while, he heard someone calling him to eat at the door of Xiang Ju's study.

Generally speaking, the servants at home will not enter Xiang Ju's study casually, even if they call him for dinner, they will call a few times at the door, and then leave first, and if he still does not come out after a while, they will continue to call.

Xiang Ju's ears automatically blocked out the sound of him being called to eat, and he continued to look at the book "Contemporary Astrology Research".

……

After about half an hour, the maid had already called twice, and Chef Wan was about to cry, and Ling Lu woke up slowly.

But this "slowness" was limited to before she opened her eyes and saw who the person in front of her was.

"Why are you here, didn't you say you can't just enter my room?!"

Zero Lu almost subconsciously stepped back and protected herself with both hands.

This reflexive sense of distance and questioning tone made Xiang Ju, who had only come to care about her physical condition, flash a trace of unhappiness in her heart.

He stood up with an indifferent expression: "If it weren't for Xiaolei asking me to stay and study this, I really don't want to sit here." ”

Zero Lu touched his head suspiciously, and Xiaolei came out again? Why didn't she tell herself anything? How can this work, I still hope that Xiang Ju can help him find the "real murderer", but he can't let Xiang Ju waste all his patience on Xiaolei.

Xiang Koma put down the book, turned around and walked towards the door.

Seeing that Xiang Ju was about to open the door and go out, Ling Lu was inexplicably anxious, and couldn't help but call him: "That ......"

Xiang Ju immediately stopped and waited for her to continue, but he didn't turn around.

"Mr. Xiang, I'm sorry."

With a "I'm sorry", Xiang Ju's lips tightened slightly—did she have to be so polite to him? She has known him for a long time, does she have to be so unfamiliar?

Also, if you have to say sorry...... The person who should say sorry is yourself.

"In the future, if Xiaolei makes trouble with you again, you can ignore her and lock her up."

Xiang Ju listened, I don't know what kind of feeling is in my heart, mixed feelings - Xiaolei is yourself, you let me lock up the happiest you, and then make her no longer happy? So you can never feel happy again?

Xiang Ju, who didn't know what to say, could only be noncommittal and raise his feet to go out.

Zero Lu sighed self-reproachfully, pursed her lips, and said to herself, "Still angry......"

Then she glanced at the astrology that Xiang Ju had placed beside her - it seemed that if this really worked, the first person who should be studied was not Ding Li but Xiang Ju.
