A black sedan was parked in front of the White Manor Villa.

A strange car or two.

Thirteen-year-old Qiao Shanya had just returned from school when she saw a car parked in front of her house.

It's been a long time since anyone from her house has been there. Qiao Shanya couldn't remember clearly, and even when her father came back last time, she was vague.

The car at the door was not any of her family's cars, let alone her father's, and the car had a license plate from other provinces, which was obviously an uninvited guest.

Qiao Shanya was a little hesitant, after all, she hadn't received guests for a long time, and she was a little scared at this time, which was related to her natural stage fright character. This kind of character is a fatal poison for her, her family is not a famous nobleman, and she is not a wealthy lady, but she still has a little intersection with some upper-class people. Her personality can't be a boost to her father's career, but a drag, which she is also very annoyed about.

Otherwise, she would not have been left behind by her father in this secluded villa, and no one cared about her.

Fate is a magical thing, Qiao Shanya can only sigh like this.

If it wasn't her mother's first anniversary, if she insisted on studying late at school as usual, or if she had gone to see her dad that day and had dinner together, this wonderful autumn encounter might not have happened.

That year, Qiao Shanya was thirteen years old and Lu Baichen was eighteen years old.

"You... Are you ......?"

Qiao Shanya's gaze moved from the black sedan to the other direction, and she asked hesitantly.

There was a teenager standing on the lawn over there.

The young man was thin, with a long body and a free body, like a poet wandering in the distance, wandering in the world and liking to look into the distance.

The young man standing against the light stood on the lawn with a nudge with one hand, and the swing chair that originally belonged to Qiao Shanya turned around when he heard the sound.

"Lu Chen. Hello," he replied, saying hello in passing.

"You...... Hello," his mother was the first stranger she had ever come into contact with since she died, and she, so nervous that she felt her tongue fighting when she spoke, "I am... My name is..."

She was so nervous about how to introduce herself that she couldn't express herself properly.

"Qiao Shanya, I know you."

Afraid that he felt that she was too difficult to speak, he spoke for her first.

"My dad wasn't home. If you want to find him, please go to the 15th floor, Building 12, Area C, Century Garden. "She is very interesting, this man named Lu Chen, no, it should be a teenager, after all, he is only a teenager, he will not come to find him.

"Is this an eviction order?" Lu Chen was puzzled, and then smiled, "Are you so sure I didn't come here to find you?"

"I don't know you," so Qiao Shanya was sure.

Lu Chen was noncommittal, still standing against the light, looking up at a sky in the west. The fiery clouds stained the western half of the sky, and the warm colors of orange and red brought a little warmth to the autumn day.

Qiao Shanya didn't see the corners of Lu Chen's mouth slightly raised when he looked back at the sky, only for a moment, he turned around and stretched out his hand, and said to Qiao Shanya, "You can get to know each other slowly in the future." ”

Qiao Shanya saw the young man clearly at this time, his face was fresh and handsome, and his eyebrows were like stars.

"Out of etiquette, a lady should reach out first. However, it seems that you are very embarrassed," he reluctantly said, and took the lead in shaking hands and making peace.

Lu Chen's hand of etiquette stretched out out of friendliness was still hanging in the air, and it could be seen that he was sociable, unlike her, who didn't even know how to react at this time.

Seeing her embarrassment at a glance, Qiao Shanya took a few steps forward and simply shook hands with Lu Chen.

His hands were slightly cold, compared to hers.

He wore very little, compared to her.

Maybe she should invite him in, and then ask Aunt Ayu to make him a pot of coffee, no, a pot of Pu'er. The cool breeze that blew from behind him seemed to carry the scent of mint, and she thought that he would like pu'er to coffee.

However, she stood in front of him in such a daze, and did not speak at all. It's not the shyness of a little girl in the face of a good-looking boy, it's just a person who has been lonely for a long time and closed himself for a long time, and is not good at facing the fear and overwhelm of strangers.

She was still hesitating, but she still didn't know how to speak.

"Brush ......"

"Brush ...... Brush...... Brush ......"

……

Several water jets erupted one after another, the high pressure was released, and the water droplets flying into the sky scattered in all directions, emitting colorful light in the setting sun.

"Ah," Qiao Shanya was startled.

With a tightening of her arms, she was pulled by a man and walked a few steps away from the fountain's sphere of influence.

"Sorry, I forgot that today is Wednesday, I should have reminded you," on Wednesday at eight o'clock in the afternoon, a fountain will open on the lawn in front of the villa to irrigate the lawn.

The water was running down her face, and it was a little itchy where it flowed, so she wiped it off and looked up and said, "I'm sorry." ”

The person in front of him was also drenched in water, and he was already wearing a thin shirt, but at the moment the shirt was completely soaked, and it was wet and sticking to his skin, outlining the slender and bony feeling that belonged to a teenager. The originally fine hair on the forehead is also attached to the door of the head at the moment, which is a little miserable.

After all, it was in her house, so that the appearance of the person in front of her was not as graceful as before. However, it is more tragic and beautiful.

At this moment, Qiao Shanya was soaked in a dark blue autumn school uniform, similar to a sportswear style, but it was not bloated at all, but she was petite. The sides of her hair were lined up in a fancy bungature, neat, and even if she was wet, she wasn't embarrassed. At least at the moment, she was much better than him.

Seeing that Qiao Shanya was still pursing her lips and silent, she said, "Is it so difficult to invite me in?" ”

Qiao Shanya was stunned, as if she had been guessed, and now in this predicament, she still only blindly apologized, and did not mean to invite him into the door at all.

His face suddenly burned, "Please ......"

"Oops! Yaya, Mr. Lu, what are you ...... How...... Drenched like this......" Aunt Ayou hurriedly beckoned the two people who were drenched in soup chicken to go in.

Aunt Ayou walked in the front, busy taking off Qiao Shanya's wet coat, and Lu Chen followed them into the house.

"It's all wet, Yaya, you hurry back to the room and take a shower, be careful of catching a cold," Aunt Ayou sent Qiao Shanya into the room, looked at the room opposite, and said to Lu Chen: "Mr. Lu, your room is this one." You've packed up before you come. ”

"Aunt Ayu?" Before entering the door of the room, Qiao Shanya turned around when she heard the sound and looked at Aunt Ayou in shock, "This-"

***

This is much better than suddenly finding out that a strange man has lived in her house, at least Lu Chen did not leave a bad impression on her.

Lu Chen lived in the largest room on the second floor, which she had lived in before, but later because it was too big, she felt empty and a little scared, so she moved to the opposite room.

After explaining to her that Lu Chen wanted to live here, she settled down and said that the boiled brown sugar ginger tea would be placed in the living room on the second floor.

Qiao Shanya went out to drink tea as usual, but when she opened the door, she met Lu Chen, who was also bathing.

Lu Chen glanced up at her, quickly retracted his gaze, and hurried down the stairs.

"Hey, Aunt Ayu made tea, don't you drink it?" Qiao Shanya hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him, but his steps were so fast that he didn't seem to hear her.

She walked to the living room on the second floor to drink tea, Aunt Ayou went upstairs with a plate of rich desserts, and saw Qiao Shanya leaning on the sofa blowing tea, her eyes wandering, a little embarrassed.

"Yaya, you are thirteen years old this year, you are a big girl, and now there is Mr. Lu at home, you ...... You can't come to the living room in your pajamas in the future," Aunt Ayou didn't know if Qiao Shanya could understand what she said, after all, girls are just starting to develop at this age, and they are very ignorant about many things.

Qiao Shanya glanced down at what she was wearing, although it was not a revealing model, but after all, it was pajamas, it was her carelessness, and it was indeed bad to wear it in front of outsiders, no wonder Lu Chen walked so fast.

"I'll go change," Qiao Shanya got up to change her clothes, and paused after walking a few steps, "Aunt Ayou, are you sure Lu Chen will live here in the future?" She still couldn't believe it.

"Your father called and specially ordered it, it can't be wrong," Aunt Ayu cleaned up Qiao Shanya's cups and plates, "It is said that your father is kind to him, and he thinks he is alone and pitiful, and recognizes him as his godson." ”

"Oh," Qiao Shanya was not surprised, her father was kind and charitable for not a day or two, for his medical career and Qiao Ren Hospital, even his mother's heart was donated, what other good things did he not do?

"By the way, your dad will be back tonight, and you family of three can have a good meal. Although today's day is not very suitable, but you can have more brothers, and I am happy for you," Aunt Ayou was really happy, especially when she mentioned "a family of three", she was very excited, and hummed a little song.

Qiao Shanya couldn't laugh, and silently returned to her room, not thinking about it, but spreading her homework on the table first. Unable to put pen to paper, she took out the papers of the various exams she had put in the drawer, smiled slightly, and put them on the corner of the table.

In her second year of junior high school, her ability to learn was not innate, but she worked hard every time, because only by being at the top could she get more attention.

Seeing that the parents of other classmates would reward their children with high scores in exams every time, Qiao Shanya also hoped that she could be praised by her father once, although never. Because in her father's eyes, talent is everything, and she has no talent.

"Knock knock," there was a knock on the door, "Yaya, what soup would you like to drink today?" It was Aunt Ayu's voice.

"It's all right," Qiao Shanya flipped a page of the book, not taking Aunt Ayu's words to heart.

After that, there was another distant knock on the door, Qiao Shanya's hand flipping through the book paused, and sure enough, Aunt Ayou asked the question just now. It's just that the person who asked this time was Lu Chen on the other side.

The sound of the car engine suddenly appeared in the silent villa area, Qiao Shanya quickly got up as if she heard some alarm, opened the curtain of the room, and saw the familiar car, she rushed out of the room with joy.

Aunt Ayou happened to see Qiao Shanya coming downstairs in a hurry, and hurriedly advised, "Yaya, slow down." ”

Qiao Shanya ignored Aunt Ayu's reminder and took the lead in trotting to the door, and a second before someone outside the door pressed the doorbell, Qiao Shanya opened the door.
