In the early morning, the bright sunlight shines through the pale blue curtains, bringing a little warmth to the house.

Ji Yatong slowly opened her eyes, and there was only a black-brown roof in the haze.

Am I still dreaming?

Ji Yatong rubbed her eyes, and her vision gradually became clearer.

She suddenly remembered that after she went home last night, Lu Jiu pounced on her, could it be that she was given by Lu Jiu......

Ji Yatong didn't dare to think about it anymore, and suddenly lifted the quilt, and found that she was not naked, but wearing an unfamiliar pajamas, exuding a smell of laundry detergent.

Where is this?

Ji Yatong turned her head and saw Lu Jiu sitting on a chair not far away, snoring slightly.

Ji Yatong immediately sat up, barely making any sound, but still woke up Lu Jiu.

"When you woke up, did you feel any discomfort?"

Ji Yatong shook her head, looked around carefully, and asked, "Where is this?" ”

"This is my home."

"Your home? Why am I in your house? Ji Yatong looked at Lu Jiu suspiciously.

"Did I bring you here?"

"What are you bringing me here for? Last night you knocked me down and said, What the hell did you do to me? ”

Ji Yatong, who was calm just now, suddenly exploded like a firecracker.

Lu Jiu shook his head helplessly and threw the phone over directly.

"See for yourself."

Ji Yatong turned on her mobile phone, checked the news of the day, and was dumbfounded.

'Last night, a top high-end residential building exploded in the bay area of Marina City, according to preliminary estimates, caused by a natural gas leak, killing 13 people and missing 5 people, and rescue efforts are ongoing. ’

"My house exploded last night?" Ji Yatong asked blankly.

Lu Jiu nodded.

"You threw yourself on me to save me?"

"Or what do you think I'm trying to do to you?"

Ji Yatong's face flushed slightly.

"No, how could it explode?"

"Manson did it."

"Manson?" Ji Yatong repeated in disbelief.

"Yes, I did everything I could, but I didn't expect him to press the bomb on the one below us, and the power of the bomb directly sent our top two households to the sky."

"So, what about the family down there?" Ji Yatong asked.

"It's estimated that he is dead, and in that case, there is almost no chance of survival."

Ji Yatong bit her lip, and her fingernails were deeply embedded in the flesh.

"Lu Jiu, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, no one will offend me and still live."

"Don't let him die too happily."

"I understand."

Ji Yatong took a deep breath and said, "Accompany me home today." ”

"Okay."

After breakfast, Ji Yatong changed into Lu Jiu's previous clothes.

Originally, she wanted to wear Lu Ruoling, but the size was a little smaller, so she could only settle for it.

got into the car, and Ji Yatong was still picking on the blue sweatshirt on her body.

"You've always worn this before?" Ji Yatong stretched out two fingers and pinched a hole.

"Uh- that's when I accidentally burned my cigarette butt while sleeping."

"Why didn't you order all the houses?"

"I woke up with a burn and haven't been smoking in bed since."

Ji Yatong covered her mouth and smiled: "I really can't see that you still have such a sad time." ”

Lu Jiu scratched his nose and said, "That's all in the past, but it's better than someone drooling while sleeping." ”

Ji Yatong instantly stiffened.

"I drooled last night?"

"Well, it's not just drooling, it's grinding teeth, farting, ......"

Before Lu Jiu finished speaking, Ji Yatong hit Lu Jiu with a small pink fist, hitting Lu Jiu's cheeks.

"Let you go big stinky fart, the old lady is not so sloppy, you can arrange me hard."

Lu Jiu crooked his mouth and smiled, and for the first time, he did not look back.

Back to your home again

It was wet everywhere, as if it had suffered a flood.

Ji Yatong didn't show much sadness until she found the table that should have been placed on the table from the ruins.

The table was almost destroyed, and I could no longer see the mother holding her daughter happily.

Only one corner of the photo remains, and only the mother can be distinguished from a small pink floral shirt.

Ji Yatong flicked off the ashes and carefully put the remaining corner into his pocket.

Wiping his eyes, he turned around, barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Let's go." ”

On the way back, neither of them spoke, and I don't know how long it took for Ji Yatong to suddenly speak.

"That's the only picture of my mom, he burned everything else before my dad left. So no matter what, I'm going to have to get it back, even if there's only one corner left. ”

Ji Yatong said, clutching her pockets hard, as if that was everything to her.

"I'll do something in a while, you go home first." Lu Jiu said suddenly.

"Home—well, remember to come back early, it's too late, I'll be mad."

"Hmm."

Lu Shaokuan's family.

Lu Shaokuan pushed off all his work today, including the course with Lu Ruoling, the purpose was to wait for someone here, a very important person.

In one room, Lu Shaokuan stood in the center, with three TV screens in front of him, each with a black outline, only the outline could be seen, and other than that, there was only a white background.

"The guy you're talking about is really that powerful?" On the TV screen, a gruff voice spoke in a suppressed voice.

Lu Shaokuan nodded and said: "Afterwards, I went to Fiora Restaurant to see that painting, and my attainments are indeed very high, whether it is technology or artistic conception, it is by no means comparable to ordinary people." ”

"Lu Shaokuan, you should know what the consequences of bringing the three of us together are, right?" A sharp voice rang out.

"I understand, Grand Master, if tonight's people can satisfy the three Grand Masters, I hope that the three Grand Masters will let me leave Marina City."

"But don't forget, your mission isn't done yet." A woman's voice rang out.

Lu Shaokuan said cautiously: "Yes, but now there is not enough time, that little girl is about to go to college, and then I will not be able to contact her in the name of making up classes, my suggestion is to send another person in the regiment to enter the university and continue this task." ”

On the screen, the three of them were silent, and after a while, the shrill voice sounded.

"Okay, we'll consider your suggestion carefully, but only if the person who comes tonight is who you say he is."

"Thank you, Grand Master." Lu Shaokuan bowed.

At this moment, the doorbell of Lu Shaokuan's house suddenly rang.

Lu Shaokuan looked at his watch, the time was just right.

It was Lu Jiu, and Lu Shaokuan was not surprised at all.

Lu Jiu was carrying a large roll behind him, and Lu Shaokuan knew that it contained the painting that the two had agreed on.

Rembrandt's Saul and David.

Lu Shaokuan smiled, pointed to the back room and said, "Mr. Lu is very punctual, please inside, there are a few big people who are very interested in your paintings, if they are optimistic, they may give you a great price." ”

Lu Jiu smiled, without any surprise, as if he had expected it a long time ago.

Lu Jiu shook his head and said, "Doctor Lu, before you go in, I want to confirm first, are you the head of the branch or the head of the branch of the 'circus'?" ”
