73
Ye He was woken up by a burst of "bang" outside the window.
When she opened her eyes, she found that the sky outside was illuminated in a large area, and the colorful colors seemed to be dyed, which was spectacular.
It was so spectacular that she was stunned for a moment, and she didn't react in a trance, thinking that she was dreaming, or she was sleeping stupidly.
Ye He patted his head, it was very painful, and then he realized that he was not hallucinating.
It's fireworks.
To be precise, it is the fireworks that break through the silent and dark night, bloom in the air one by one, and then sprinkle the sky full of bright stars, as if opening a very grand curtain, which is very beautiful.
Someone setting off fireworks?
Ye He didn't think much about it, lifted the quilt, and hurriedly went downstairs.
She really wanted to tell the person who set off the fireworks that today was actually her birthday, and in another twenty minutes, it would be another day, and she wanted to see it if he had to put it off a little more, and for a longer time.
Lu Qiyan said that he wouldn't let her leave this villa too late, but Ye He didn't want to care about anything now, and the day was about to pass...
As she went downstairs, her footsteps suddenly paused, as she noticed that the movement of the fireworks did not seem to be coming from outside the villa, but... Inside the villa.
The sound seemed to be very close, and every time I followed the sound of the fireworks, the more I felt that it was lingering nearby, as if I could see it when I turned around.
In the garden.
Ye He became very puzzled again, who would set off fireworks here? She slowed down gradually, moving her confused steps slightly, until something flickered through her head, and she sped up, almost runningβ" Lu Qiyan said. β
He stood in the midst of the fireworks that surged out like a cluster of flowers, and the colorful light illuminated his side face, intertwined and changed, as if outlining several beautiful shadows. His hands were in his trouser pockets, and he looked up, the corners of his lips were shallow curves, and he seemed to be smiling.
The fireworks blended with him, and he seemed to be transformed from the most brilliant place, and he was also dazzling to the extreme.
Ye He rushed over, opened his hand, and then hugged him.
The force was not small, and it almost hit him, but fortunately, Lu Qiyan took his hand out of his pocket in time and stabilized her body with his backhand.
"Is it pretty?"
"Beautiful." Her eyes were brightly illuminated by fireworks.
"I gave it to you." He knocked her on the head.
"You woke me up... Lu Qiyan, is this my birthday present? β
"Sort of."
She was confused, "Why is it barely counted?" β
Lu Qiyan didn't come back until the end of the day only an hour ago, and at that moment, it was already pitch black in the villa. Ye He slept quietly in her bedroom, but she didn't remember that she was in a daze, she actually opened her eyes and looked at him.
He sat on the edge of the girl's bed, stretched out his hand, and pinched the soft face, but Ye He snorted meaninglessly, and then the door covered himself again.
He thought she was angry.
So he could only set off fireworks, which counted as compensation, and he knew that she would be woken up and then seen.
But if it's just fireworks, it seems to be too wronged for her.
But Lu Qiyan didn't expect that the little girl's requirements were actually not very high, and she seemed to be very satisfied with this level.
So in the past, birthdays and so on, how casual they were.
"It's a bit of a thing, so I came back late, and I didn't forget your birthday."
The sound of fireworks almost covered his faint voice, but Ye He still heard it clearly.
"Lu Qiyan, are you explaining to me, I'm afraid I'm not happy, right?" She shook his arm,
For a moment, he was a little choked... Well, if you are not happy, you may run out, and it will be very troublesome to look for half a day ... Last time, because I was a little late to pick her up, I ran to the train station in a huff.
Ye He is like a cat, meowing is very docile, but it hurts to catch people.
"After all, I promised you before, and I don't want to be untrustworthy."
Actually, it's not surprising that Lu Qi didn't believe what he said, but at night, the villa was deserted and empty, and Ye He was indeed a little lost.
If he doesn't know his birthday at all, it doesn't matter, but he clearly knows... Moreover, I specifically asked her what she wanted.
"Then you have to tell me what the hell is going on, or I'm still upset."
"A matter of the company."
A very general answer.
Ye He pursed his lips, expecting that he would definitely say this, Lu Qiyan was indeed very busy.
But it's good that he hasn't forgotten.
"What did someone give you, huh?"
He looked down, looked at the pebbles on the ground, and then kicked them away one by one in a bored tone.
"No one gave me anything..."Ye He grabbed Lu Qiyan's arm and told the truth, "I didn't tell anyone that today is my birthday, and my classmates don't know." β
In fact, even if she said it, it shouldn't make much difference, she doesn't have many friends, and the relationship is still very shallow.
"Well, it's okay, it doesn't matter if there are many gifts."
This sentence was not Ye He's self-comfort, but what Lu Qiyan said to her.
Hey, hey, you said it would be okay if she said it herself, but it's not very pleasant to hear.
Ye He was almost about to stomp his feet, nineteen years old should be very important, Ji Xuan was very lively.
If it were her grandmother, she would definitely be very sensible and not make trouble, it was enough to have egg noodles and the dishes she liked to eat, but now the person around her is Lu Qiyan.
For some reason, she was a little greedy and wanted to ask for more, and she didn't want him to send it away with fireworks.
Although, the fireworks are beautiful.
Lu Qiyan seemed to be holding back a smile, "I haven't finished my words yet, what are you anxious about...."
"Then you go on..."
"It really doesn't matter if there are many gifts, a greeting card is a gift, a candy is also a gift, stingy people, kissing you is a gift..."
Ye He's face was slightly red.
Lu Qiyan is never stingy in terms of material, but he is quite stingy in terms of personality.
She didn't know if he was stingy or generous now.
"Is a hundred pieces of candy a lot? But it may not add up to the small ceramic mug of a gift shop that is not as expensive. β
"It doesn't matter if you don't receive a gift from someone else..."Lu Qiyan glanced at Ye He with a smile, "I'll just give it to you." β
"It's worth thousands."
Hum.
Ye He thought that he probably wanted to say that Lu Shaodu in Youzhou City gave him a kiss to sleep for nothing, there is only one such one in the world, and no one else wants it, she is cheap and good, what else do you want?
But Lu Qiyan actually put a cold thing in her palm, like a small fragment taken from somewhere.
Probably... A piece of metal?
Silvery-white, as if it had been preserved for a long time.
Ye He looked at this thing in confusion, not knowing what this was at all.
"It's expensive, take it."
He only had a few numbers and didn't give her the right to refuse.
However, no matter what the gift was, Ye He was very happy to receive it, so she didn't make an awkward and pretentious gesture to return it to him.
In fact, Lu Qiyan originally planned to ask Kai Ledi to simply make this into a bracelet, or necklace and other jewelry, Kai Ledi is the chief jewelry designer, which is simply a breeze for him.
But Lu Qiyan later regretted it, and Kai Ledi also regretted it, he said that this material was great, he had never seen it before, it was very challenging, but Lu Shao didn't give him his design talent, it was a pity.
Keledi begged for a long time, and he had never smelled blood on anything before that, and it was, very charming.
But Lu Qiyan said that he would take it back, simply and neatly, decisively and without giving any reason, and Kai Ledi had no choice, after all, his temper was notoriously strange, and no one could afford to provoke him.
Lu Qiyan finally gave this directly to Ye He, without any carving. He didn't expect her to understand anything, she just knew, it was expensive, because that's what he told her.
However, the more Ye He stared at this small steel plate, the more he felt that it was very special, for Lu Qiyan, there must be some meaning, right?
"You know what?" She held this carefully in the palm of her hand, "When I was born, my grandmother asked me for a peace and blessing, that is, I hope that I can grow up peacefully and live this life happily, and it is my name, Ah He, just like Xiao He Hua in Zhouchong County." β
Ah He, Ye He.
Lu Qiyan listened quietly, and the fireworks were about to be finished, and the last one bloomed in the sky, and then, sprinkled, and then gradually disappeared, and everything returned to the peace of the night.
"I've always worn that peace blessing on my body. Every time I take an exam, I will hold the peace and blessing and pray that I will do well this time. And every day when I go out, I will also silently read it in my heart, today must be a very smooth day... When something bad happens, there is really no way, and I will also say to Ping An Fu, hoping that everything can pass. β
"I don't know if it's protecting me, but I've always felt that it definitely is."
Ye He's tone was very serious, that peace and blessing was probably the most precious thing left to her by her grandmother.
Lu Qiyan chuckled, should he say that this is a feudal delusion? Well, or I'd better listen to her.
"I'm going to put this thing you gave me in the peace blessing that my grandmother gave me."
She stood on tiptoe and approached, "Grandma is an angel, she will bless me in heaven, but it is only heaven... The gods in the sky are so gentle, more polite, and more polite... What if there are no ghosts underground, what if I run into big trouble? β
"So, I still need a bad big devil to support me behind my back... If you have a wide network, you won't suffer anywhere. β
Lu Qiyan said that if such a person goes to hell, Lord Yama will be afraid of three points. Although, she didn't know if such a statement was appropriate.
Ye He looked at Lu Qiyan, and then, in the next second, he actually smiled.
It's not a shallow and faint smile, nor is it the kind of smile that hooks the corners of the lips and seems to be a smile instead of a smile, but a slightly childish smile, a very bright smile blooms, the voice is very crisp, smart and good.
It was the first time Ye He saw him smile so happily, and then she knew that when Lu Qiyan really laughed happily, there would be two bracket-like arcs on both sides of his cheeks, which was very beautiful.
She stared at him for a long time, "Lu Qiyan, why are your tiger teeth gone?" β
It's cute to have tiger teeth...
He gradually calmed his laughter, "How do you know I used to have tiger fangs. β
You can guess without much thought, she must be sneaking into her secrets, her curiosity is overflowing, and she is estimated to be a detective incarnate, thinking that she has got a lot of clues.
For example, injections, sleeping pills....
"I... Sofina told me, she told me, you used to have tiger teeth. β
Fortunately, she found a reason quickly, and didn't want him to know that she had rummaged through his cabinet, looked at the photos, and even found out about the existence of another boy.
"Grinded off."
Lu Qiyan's answer was only three very simple words.
But Ye He didn't know how cruel this calm answer was.
At the beginning, Di Huo went crazy in front of Lu Qiyan, he bit him in order to protect himself, and then he completely angered that twisted pervert, and he asked people to grind out these two teeth, which was regarded as a punishment for him.
That was the first time he realized what real pain and blood were.
And Ye He showed a very regretful expression, "Why do you want to grind it off... How beautiful the tiger teeth are. β
But indeed, it doesn't seem to be quite consistent with his gloomy temperament, once he has this kind of very cute thing, Lu Qiyan is not Lu Qiyan.
"I don't like it, so I don't want to keep it."
It seems to be in line with his style.
"Ye He, have you lived with your grandmother since you were a child?"
In fact, this was also the first time he asked about her past.
Speaking of which, she still hasn't understood why she holds on to her, pinching and playing with her in the palm of her hand like a toy.
Ye He thought that Lu Qiyan was different from others, he had money and power, and he had everything, but gradually, in the end, nothing could satisfy him, which eventually caused psychological distortion, so he treated her like this.
Ye He didn't know who had heard say that how messy and dirty the rich man's world was? It's unimaginable to ordinary people.
So Lu Qiyan didn't care what kind of family background she had or what kind of personality she was, just because he had broken his behavior at the beginning, he felt that he had caught a little prey.
Ye He didn't know if she had figured it out, she only felt that if he didn't want her to return to a normal life for a while, then just ask him to let her live a better life and suffer less flesh injuries.
But today, less than a minute before her nineteenth birthday ended, Lu Qiyan asked her if she lived with her grandmother in the past.
She felt that he looked very different now, and she couldn't tell what was different. She didn't know which would be the real Lu Qiyan.
The gloomy one? Or is this one who laughs like a bright sunflower?
"yes... From small to large.. I... They all live with their grandmothers. β
There seemed to be an indescribable light under Lu Qiyan's eyes, and he fiddled with her forehead and asked her about the wind-blown hair on her forehead, "What about Ye He's parents..."
What about the parents, where did they go... She didn't know how to answer.
If the definition of death is to go to heaven, then Mom and Dad should be blessed by heaven.
Ye He is actually very vague about this concept, she has never met her mother, nor her father, I heard her grandmother say that when she was about a baby, her parents passed away one after another.
Pretty unfortunate, right? But her grandmother never mentioned such a thing repeatedly in front of her, so Ye He's memory is actually very faint, only occasionally in the dead of night, she will want to ask, why is her father and mother not in this world when she was born, is it because of her existence?
"Lu Qiyan, don't ask me if this is good, I...."Ye He's heart shrank, as if he was sad, but he was not very sad, this feeling was not good. In fact, when she grew up so big, she was always bullied and teased by her peers because she didn't have parents, and others also liked to ask her, where did your parents go, do you want you anymore.
All with great malice.
So she was very resistant to similar questions, and she didn't want to answer them.
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't talk about it."
She nodded, but fortunately, he didn't force her to speak.
In fact, for a moment, she was a little grateful to him, and many times, he was not bad to her. If it weren't for him, I might not even be able to study.
"Lu Qiyan, can I also ask you a question? No, two is fine. β
Two is fine... He raised an eyebrow, "What if I think it's a bit much?" β
She took a step back with a slight disappointment, "Then... I'll just ask you one question. β
"Forget it, you say."
Ye He has been in the Lu Mansion for so long, and he has heard of something bits and pieces. The previous owner of the Lu family was actually Lu Qiyan's father, Lu Qiyan originally planned to study abroad, but later because of a little change, the company fell into a crisis, so he gave up what he liked and took on the responsibilities of the entire group.
The people in the entire villa unconditionally chose to be loyal to him, Ye He thought, probably Lu Qiyan must have something worthy of their hard work, especially Qiao Qinian. Unfortunately, she doesn't know much about his past.
She didn't even see a photo of Lu Qiyan's parents.
Sofina and the housekeeper inadvertently talked about it, and Ye He happened to hear it quietly, to the effect that the Lu family and his wife were kind and benevolent, but they died for some reason, which was very embarrassing, which was a scar in Lu Shao's heart and couldn't be touched.
So Ye He knew that Lu Qiyan was actually the same as her, and he had no parents for a long time.
But she wanted to ask him anyway, because she was still confused.
"Lu Qiyan, in this world, do you have any other relatives?"
For example, the boy in the photo is somewhat similar to him. Do you want to tell him that she's already seen the photos...
"In a sense, Qiao Qinian can be regarded as one."
β.. All right. β
Lu Qiyan did answer Ye He, but this was not the answer she wanted, or did that boy actually have nothing to do with him?
