Chapter 20: Warmth in the Eyes
Zhong Qi woke up in a daze, and when he saw that the room was empty, he suddenly felt a little lonely in his heart.
As soon as I walked to the staircase, I ran into Lou Jin who came back from outside. The hand holding the stairs tightened, and he felt that his loneliness came from him. But he still forced himself to ignore the person in front of him and go downstairs as if nothing happened.
Lou Jin saw Zhong Qi's attitude, and silently took off his suit jacket and handed it to the servant on the side. He couldn't let go of letting Zhong Qi be home alone, and he came back after staying in the company for a short while.
He gave the old butler a look, and turned to go upstairs.
Zhong Qi sat on the sofa, Lou Jin disappeared in front of him, and the hand he was holding was released. When I saw the magazine on the table, I took out a random copy and flipped through it.
The old housekeeper brought a cup of flower tea, and before Zhong Qi could say thank you, he saw the housekeeper turn around and go to the kitchen to make another cup of tea, and this time he went upstairs.
Zhong Qi "cut" in his heart, didn't say anything, and continued to bury his head in the magazine.
"Knock knock."
"Please come in."
As soon as the words fell, the old butler pushed the door in, put the teacup in his hand, and stood aside respectfully.
"Uncle Li, you don't have to be so polite." Lou Jin saw the old housekeeper like this, and said. The old housekeeper has been working in the Lou family all his life, which is equivalent to an old man who watched him grow up.
The old butler still stood aside respectfully.
Lou Jin knew that the old housekeeper had always been like this, so he didn't say much.
"She, how was it this afternoon?" Lou Jin knew that the old housekeeper would not speak without waiting for him to ask, so he hesitated for a while, but still scratched his head and opened his mouth.
"Who is the young master talking about?" The old butler feigned puzzlement.
Lou Jin was a little helpless, so he could only pick out and say: "You know, I'm talking about Zhong Qi."
"Oh, young lady. She, she didn't do anything this afternoon. The old butler smiled on his face.
"I'm talking about what she's busy with this afternoon." Even though Lou Jin knew that the old housekeeper was joking with him, he still wanted to know what Zhong Qi was doing when he was not at home.
"The young lady was not busy with anything this afternoon, went downstairs for lunch, and went upstairs. Then he never went downstairs again, he should have fallen asleep in the room, and the young lady did not come out of the house until you came back, young master. The old housekeeper knew Lou Jin's temperament, and immediately reported Zhong Qi's every move this afternoon to Lou Jin.
After Lou Jin listened, he was silent for a long time and let the old housekeeper go out.
Zhong Qi drank tea and read the magazine, so uncomfortable. It's just that because Lou Jin is in the house, she is still a little restrained. The thought of being treated like that this morning made her feel resentful. But no matter what, she can't get rid of him now, so she can only endure all this first.
Lou Jin was bored in the study, and wanted to spend more time with Zhong Qi. Even though he knew that she was hiding from him now, he couldn't help but want to be by her side.
When I went downstairs, I saw Zhong Qi sitting there looking at something, looking at the quiet little woman, Lou Jin's heart softened. Standing at the top of the stairs and looking at Zhong Qi quietly, I only hope that time can stay for a long time until this moment.
Zhong Qi felt that someone was staring at her all the time, turned her face to look over, and met Lou Jin's eyes.
The voyeur was discovered, Lou Jin touched his chin, and immediately went downstairs sideways.
Zhong Qi was puzzled by what she had just seen in Lou Jin's eyes, warmth?? She couldn't be mistaken.
