Chapter Seventy-Two: The Painful Price
Xiyu looked at Qiao Lu with a pair of dark eyes, his mouth was full of rice, Qiao Lu walked in curiously and closed the door, looking at a bowl of small green vegetables fried on the table, as well as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a bowl of tom yum soup, in her memory, Xu Jingshen didn't seem to know how to cook, why did he suddenly conjure up so many dishes?
"Don't you tell me you did all this?" Qiao Lu moved his suspicious gaze to Xu Jingshen's face, but Xu Jingshen looked at her seriously and said, "Don't doubt my ability, I've been studying recipes recently, and I've studied it almost." ”
After speaking, he also complacently took out all the several home-cooked recipes on the chair and showed them off in front of her, Xiyu smiled while frowning: "Yes, Mommy, these are all made by Daddy!" ”
Qiao Lu still couldn't believe that these dishes were actually from Xu Jingshen, and sat aside suspiciously.
"You'll know if you taste it, but I didn't cook your meal today, didn't you say you were going to dinner?"
Xu Jingshen added an extra pair of chopsticks to her, and Qiao Lu felt that this atmosphere was a bit of a family atmosphere.
"Ah...... It ended early, so I came back. Qiao Lu absentmindedly made up lies, looked at the dishes on the table curiously, and couldn't help but take a sip of Tom Yum soup.
The soup is delicious and melts in your mouth.
"How? Isn't it doing a good job? Xu Jingshen looked at her reaction expectantly, just wanting to hear a few words of praise from her mouth.
"It's a little salty, the others are okay......" Qiao Lu said with a deep face, in fact, his soup was already very good, but in order not to make him proud, he could only say this.
Xiyu pouted and said, "Mommy, you are lying, Daddy's soup is obviously delicious!" Xiyu looked at Qiao Lu, Qiao Lu couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, lying in front of anyone may be recognized, but lying in front of the little guy will definitely be recognized.
"Haha, okay, it's actually quite delicious, it's already good for you to cook like this for the first time."
Qiao Lu reluctantly praised him a few words, but found that he had a lot of band-aids wrapped in his hands, and picked up his hand nervously and said, "What's going on?" You're not going to cut your fingers, are you? ”
"yes, Daddy is stupid." Xiyu also looked at Xu Jingshen with a distressed face, Xu Jingshen wanted to cry without tears, why did this little guy still fall into the well?
"It's okay, it's just a little flesh wound, and it's not a finger drop." Xu Jingshen withdrew his hand a little embarrassed, such a small injury was just a gentle bite from an ant to him.
Qiao Lu became inexplicably nervous, and couldn't help but reprimand with a straight face: "Don't you know how to pay attention when cutting vegetables?" ”
Xu Jingshen looked at her nervous and annoyed expression and paused.
"Are you worried about me?"
When asked this question, Qiao Lu said with a hateful expression: "I just don't want my kitchen to become a murderous house." ”
“………”
Xu Jingshen was speechless, and felt that there was some truth in her words.
"I'm done eating, I'll clean it up." Xu Jingshen wanted to move all the remaining dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen for cleaning, but Qiao Lu snatched them over, "How can you wash the dishes if your hand is injured?" I'll come, you go and read a book with Xiyu. ”
"Okay." Xu Jingshen looked at Qiao Lu's back, the corners of his mouth raised, and he glanced at Xiyu beside him, in fact, he was not so stupid and injured, whether the band-aid was deliberately pasted on, or a ploy made by the little guy, I didn't expect Qiao Lu to be really worried.

Being able to see Qiao Lu's reaction like this, his heart didn't mention how sweet it was.
He Xiyu was reading the book, and suddenly heard a knock at the door, Xu Jingshen opened the door curiously, and saw that there was nothing, and it was already eleven o'clock, would anyone knock on his door so late? The entire floor was bought by him, except for Qiao Lu's family.
"Daddy, who is it?"
Heewoo looked at him standing at the door, looking around curiously, as if no one had come in.
"It's nothing, let's keep playing." Xu Jingshen didn't care carelessly, and at night in the past few days, Qiao Lu and Xiyu could hear a knock at the door, and when she opened the door, there was no sound, Qiao Lu was tortured so much that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and Xiyu was also scared and cried.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there's Mommy." Qiao Lu was afraid that the little guy would be afraid, so he went to his room to sleep with him, but the knock on the door outside always sounded in the early hours of the morning, making people unable to sleep.
Just when Qiao Lu was thinking about whether to seek Xu Jingshen's help, she suddenly heard a scuffle outside, she hurriedly put on her slippers, and when she went to the door, she found that Xu Jingshen was scuffling with a man in a black windbreaker, and it was obvious that the man was at a disadvantage.
Qiao Lu wanted to help Xu Jingshen, but he didn't know where to start, so he brought a vase from the living room, and was about to give the man a head-on blow, but accidentally hit Xu Jingshen's head, Xu Jingshen squatted to the side with his head in pain, and the man ran away from the stairs.
"Depth of field ......" Qiao Lu nervously bent down and found that his head was covered in blood.
Xu Jingshen was tied with several layers of gauze on Qiao Lu's head, but fortunately it was only a slight scratch of the skin, otherwise he would have to see him in the hospital.
Xiyu poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Xu Jingshen's hand, looked at him with sympathy and said, "Daddy, it's so pitiful, did you just beat the bad guys?" ”
"Yes." Xu Jingshen touched his head with a strong smile.
Qiao Lu sat aside with a guilty face, bit his lip, and said, "Who was that guy just now?" ”
Because the guy wrapped himself like a rice dumpling and wore a cap, he couldn't see it clearly.
Xu Jingshen shook his head and said, "Actually, I didn't see it clearly, if you can come out a little later, you might be caught by me." ”
"........." Qiao Lu lowered her head guiltily, blaming her for not seeing clearly and accidentally injuring her teammates.
"That...... Why don't you call the police? Qiao Lu thought of the strangeness of these days, and he must have been deliberately retaliated against.
"No, I've already called someone to check." Xu Jingshen is very confident.
"Daddy, Mommy is scared, can you stay here to protect Mommy?" Xiyu suddenly came up with this sentence, which made Qiao Lu very embarrassed, and quickly coughed a few times and gave Xiyu several looks, but this little guy acted as if he didn't see it.
"Ah, yes." There is this cheap why not take it! Xu Jingshen immediately agreed to come down and slept in the living room of his house in the open.
The next day, Qiao Lu returned to the law firm and found that Xiao Sun had come to work on crutches, so he hurriedly walked to his side and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Sun sat to the side depressedly, lowered his head and said: "The day before yesterday, I was looking at my mobile phone on the road, and when I was crossing the street, I was accidentally hit by a tricycle. ”
