chapter 36

The summer night at the end of August was already a little cooler, and it was no longer as hot as during the day, so after dinner, Lu Zhaoyu took Shu Jin's hand and walked in the community.

"Lu Zhaoyu"

"Hmm"

"You said Leon, whether it was a blessing or a misfortune for him to meet Matilda."

"There is always something more precious than life in a person's life, such as Leon who saved the rest of the girl's life with his own life. This is not a simple life-for-life summary. He chooses to die with Stan, so that the girl can let go of her hatred and live freely from now on. He paid for his life in exchange for the girl's happiness for the rest of her life, and no longer fell into the whirlpool of hatred. Do you find his sacrifice worthwhile? ”

Lu Zhaoyu said slowly.

"Yes"

"Look at what the girl brought him, she made a killer really live as a flesh and blood person. She allowed him to find his true self. If there is no girl, the killer is still the killer, there is no emotion and no heart, and he is free to accept tasks and perform tasks, and I don't know under which mission he lost his life. ”

"In this way, do you think it is a blessing or a misfortune for Leon to meet the girl?"

"Fortunately, Leon himself must not regret it." The girl nodded.

"Haven't heard enough of it, we've been listening to Shape Of My Heart many times on a loop."

The two of them shared a pair of headphones, and they heard the present from going out for a walk.

"Not enough, I love this song." The girl shook her head and said seriously.

"Do you want me to sing it to you?"

The two of them walked over to the side of the bench and sat down.

"Yes" The girl looked at the man with some surprise and replied quickly.

Looking at the mobile phone screen, Lu Zhaoyu cleared her throat, and sang fluently in English, low and deep, with magnetism into her ears.

“He deals the cards as a meditation,And those he plays never suspect”

“......”

“He may play the jack of diamonds,He may lay the queen of spades,He may conceal a king in his hand,While the memory of it fades”

When the man dropped the last English word, Shu Jin clapped his hands and exclaimed, "The singing is very good." ”

"If you like to listen to it, I'll sing it to you more in the future." The man looked at the girl gently, his eyes full of starlight.

"Lu Zhaoyu, how can you bring me so many surprises?" The girl looked at him and muttered.

"Hibiscus, this is not enough, I want to bring you surprises and hopes every day, like every element in an infinite collection, although inexhaustible, but different."

"Professor Lu really makes too good use of mathematics, and it has infiltrated into life." Shu Jin couldn't help but sigh.

"Therefore, mathematics comes from life, and it is widely used in life." The man replied lightly.

In the evening, Shu Jin took a shower, wearing loose light gray cotton pajamas, and was standing in the bathroom wiping her hair.

Lu Zhaoyu brought a hair dryer and stood behind the girl, blowing her long black hair. The man's slender hand passed through the girl's strands of hair, and the scent of shampoo permeated the room.

At this time, only the rumble of a hair dryer sounded in the room, but warmth quietly rose between the two.

The man's full attention was focused on the girl's hair, and he carefully moved the hair dryer, fearing that he would perm her scalp because he was unskilled.

The girl sat on the bed with her eyes closed, feeling the warmth of the man's fingertips on her scalp, and then gently ruffled her long hair with her big hands.

Almost all dried, Lu Zhaoyu unplugged the hair dryer, took the comb, and smoothed the girl's long black and fluffy hair. Then he leaned down and took the girl into his arms from behind, burying his face in her hair and taking a deep breath: "It's so fragrant." ”

Shu Jin pursed her lips and let the man hug him for a long time.

"Hibiscus, go to sleep." Lu Zhaoyu let go of her and took the Xia Liang quilt for her, and after seeing the girl lying down obediently, he covered her body, revealing only the girl's small face.

"Good night" The man propped his hands on the head of the bed, leaned over and kissed the girl lightly on the forehead, and was about to leave, but the girl grabbed his hand.

"Lu Zhaoyu, I want to hear you sing." The girl muttered.

"Still want to hear Shape Of My Heart?"

"Hmm"

The man nodded, sat on the edge of the girl's bed, took out his mobile phone and connected to the stereo, and when the accompaniment of the song sounded low in the room, the man's voice also sounded slowly in the girl's ears, deliberately pressed extremely low, to coax her to sleep.

Lu Zhaoyu stroking the girl's head while singing, watching her close her eyes, her breathing gradually became stable, and she looked peaceful, he gradually stopped his voice and stopped singing.

In the dark room, a wall lamp peeked at the tenderness that lingered on the man's body at this moment, and the deep black eyes were full of the girl's small figure.

He stared at her with affection and affection, and if the girl had opened her eyes at this time, she would have indulged in the man's eyes.

"Good night's sleep, my little girl." Lu Zhaoyu lowered his head and gently touched the girl's lips, then covered the quilt for her, slightly increased the temperature of the air conditioner, turned off the wall lamp, and gently closed the door and left.

He stretched out and walked into the study, intending to analyze and deal with Lin's recent acquisition.

Originally, there was only him in this house, but now that there is one more her, he feels extremely down-to-earth in his heart, and even his work efficiency is much higher than in the past.

When all the work was done, it was midnight, he snuffed out the cigarette butt, twisted his swollen eyebrows, and leaned his whole body back in his chair relaxedly.

He remembered the night when he told the little girl a math story, it was almost dawn, her mobile phone was automatically turned off, knowing that the little girl said the dream words when she woke up and forgot about it, but this dream was too cruel, he guessed that it might be related to her own experience, so he couldn't ignore it, even if the phone was turned off and the call was broken, he wanted to send her warmth at the first time.

No matter who thinks she is grass, in his heart, she will always be his priceless treasure.

Even if such words would make her guess what happened last night and bring back bad memories for her, he would rather dissect her and warm her up than let the little girl bear it alone, and let her know her place in his heart.

Later, I received a reply from the little girl at 7:30 in the morning.

Jinjin: Lu Zhaoyu, I know, you go and catch up on sleep.

His little girl has such a delicate heart, how can he not be attracted to her and bend his waist for her?

So, he stood up and looked at the little girl again, uneasily.

Through the faint light on his phone, he faintly saw a lump on the bed. After walking in, I found that the girl was nested in the quilt.

He frowned, and pulled the quilt down a bit, revealing the girl's disheveled face, and looked down to see her hands clenched into fists on either side of her collarbone.

Lu Zhaoyu's eyes deepened, and the quilt was moved away a little more, and he found that the girl was curled up facing him, hunched back, legs crossed together, the already petite person looked even smaller, and the huge bed only occupied a small part of the position, such a defensive and insecure sleeping position made him feel distressed.

He sighed lightly, there was a melancholy in his eyebrows, and he leaned down silently, trying to correct the girl's sleeping position, but the girl frowned and subconsciously resisted him, and whispered softly in her mouth.

He rubbed his eyebrows, so he had to cover her with the quilt, sit on the edge of the bed, and gently comb the girl's scattered hair with his fingers, revealing her whole little face little by little.

I don't know how long he stared at the girl before he stood up with his thin lips pursed and left the girl's room.

Hibiscus, one day I want you to get a full sense of security from me.

Just in an unfamiliar environment, Shu Jin has always slept not very well, when she first came to Linda, in the bedroom of 402, she always slept unsteadily for the first few nights, and it was not until later that she gradually adapted. I thought it would be like this last night, but I didn't expect to sleep until dawn, and even fell asleep not long after listening to Lu Zhaoyu singing.

She lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a long time, and it was 7:30 before she got up to wash.

Coming out of the bathroom, I went into the kitchen and poured a glass of warm water, and just after two sips, I heard the door open.

I saw a man wearing a light gray sportswear and walking in with breakfast.

"Up?"

"Hmm" the girl looked at the sweat on the man's forehead and asked, "You went for a morning run?" ”

"Well, I'm going to go at half past six, you have breakfast first, and I'll take a shower."

As he spoke, he handed the breakfast in his hand to the girl and went straight to the bedroom.

Shu Jin sat in the kitchen room, rummaging through the breakfast bag, a little helpless. It's just the two of them who eat, how can he buy so much.

She didn't have a very good appetite, so she only took a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork and a spring roll.

When Lu Zhaoyu came out, he saw that the girl had only drunk one-third of a bowl of porridge, and she hadn't finished the spring rolls, and the breakfast in the bag hadn't moved, so he frowned: "Eat so little?" ”

"I can't eat it."

"No wonder it's so skinny." He tried to persuade her, "Eat more porridge, okay, you promised me to eat more before." ”

Shu Jin nodded, slowly drank the porridge again, and the man hooked his lips with satisfaction when he saw this, and then took out a shrimp dumpling.

After the two finished breakfast, Lu Zhaoyu wrote a paper in the study, while the girl sat on the sofa opposite him and flipped through a copy of "Yesterday's World".

They are all people who are very dedicated to their work, such as Lu Zhaoyu, although the little girl he likes is sitting opposite him, it does not affect his meticulousness and rigor when writing his papers. As for Shu Jin, although the sound of the man on the opposite side tapping on the keyboard continued, it did not disturb the girl's progress at all.

In many cases, it is not sticking together that is a sign of love, but more about silently accompaniing, not disturbing each other, and giving each other enough personal space.

Although the two are in the same place, they seem to be in two different spaces. Later, who stopped first, was it the guy who typed on the keyboard or the girl who turned the pages of a book?

None of them, the two suddenly raised their heads together at a certain point, looking at each other, the man's thin lips were slightly hooked, and his eyebrows and eyes were warm; The corners of the girl's lips are slightly upturned, and her eyebrows and eyes are soft.

"Hibiscus, what do you suddenly see me doing?"

"Lu Zhaoyu, why are you looking at me?" The girl did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Neglecting you because I can't work long hours." The man said slowly, "What about you?" ”

"I suddenly want to see Professor Lu working hard." The girl said with a wink.

"Then you seem to have missed it?" Lu Zhaoyu raised his eyebrows and said.

"Miss this time, and next time, I'll see you there."

"Why are you willing to let you miss it, why don't I continue to write, you look at me carefully?"

"Won't that distract you?"

"Try it and you'll know."

A few minutes passed.

Silly girl, you look at me with such obsessive gaze, if only I could concentrate, unless you are not important to me.

The truth is, my Word document is full of sentences.

Fortunately, Shu Jin has no regrets in this life.
