Chapter Seventy-Five: I've Cried for You
The wick in the candlestick was too long, and it crackled and burned slightly. Lu Xiao picked up the scissors and cut off the extra wick, and the fierce firelight of the jump returned to its gentle brightness.
In fact, many times it is like this burning candle in the world, and it is impossible for you to put it there and ignore it, hoping that it will be consistently gentle. You'll need to trim it from time to time so that it burns more smoothly.
Lu Xiao didn't plan to escape, but he didn't think of a solution, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing to let Su Ning see it now.
The bright candlelight illuminated half of Lu Xiao's body, but the other half was in the shadows. The clear facial features are even more unfathomable in such a yin and yang light. Su Ning quickly fled her gaze just by looking at it, and her heart was suddenly scared...... Fear of losing, fear of abandonment, fear of ......
"Su Ning, you have grown up, and you are no longer the child you used to be...... "What I am most worried about is that time suddenly stands still, and the words you want to say are circling in your throat over and over again, but it is so difficult to break through that line of defense.
"Brother, what do you want to say?" Just for a moment, Su Ning showed a reluctant smile, and the dried tears did not leave any trace on her face.
"I want to say, you are my sister, you are my family, and my feelings want to be blessed by you......"
"You think too much, you can have a girlfriend and I am of course a blessing to you as your sister. Have you forgotten, your last girlfriend, how our family supported you? A bleak smile froze on her cheeks, and Su Ning wanted to deceive herself and tell Lu Xiao that since she could happily accept the previous term, this one was not a problem. But when it comes to words, you just can't say it. Because she knew very well that with Ran Hong, Lu Xiao was just dealing with it perfunctorily, but Yuhan ......
"I'm glad you thought so, I knew my sister was always reasonable......"
"But this Li Yuhan is different from Ran Hong!" Su Ning's words were calm, as if they came out of her mouth, and the rare tranquility was a little more indifferent and distant.
"Of course they're different! I'm serious about this! I'm going to marry her! β
"What are you doing with all this excitement? Did I stop you from getting married? Su Ning's eyebrows tightened, and she looked at Lu Xiao and had a thought, this person is hopeless.
"Ah...... Not yet. Are you rooting for us? β
"Did I say that?"
"Not really. So what do you mean exactly? β
"Brother, I want to say, I've worked with her, you don't know, I, don't like her!" I don't like to say three words weakly, Su Ning feels that she is at a loss.
Yes, not to mention half-siblings, even if they are siblings of biological parents? When does my brother look for a partner, when do I need to ask my sister if she likes it?
"Then I want to know, who do you like when I look for you?" Lu Xiao's voice was not loud, but every word fell heavily into Su Ning's heart, and there was an uncontrollable echo in the heart of the uneasy mountains and ravines.
yes, who would he like?
This is a question that has no answer or cannot be answered satisfactorily at all, how does this answer Su Ning? She raised her eyes and looked at Lu Xiao pitifully, she didn't believe that her extremely smart brother would not know about the thoughts she had carefully tried to hide for so many years?
I have to say that Su Ning's eyes are very bright and can speak, Lu Xiao discovered this secret when Su Ning was still young. Therefore, no matter what Su Ning asked Lu Xiao to do, or what Su Ning did wrong, as long as she raised her eyes and looked at Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao would not hesitate to choose to retreat and choose to protect her little sister. This time, will Lu Xiao still be like this?
Su Ning is gambling, she knows that the probability of winning this bet may be very small, but if she doesn't do this, she doesn't know what else she can do?
"Su Ning, Yuhan is different to me, I hope you can accept her. You don't have to worry that you will lose an older brother, you should be glad that you will have another sister to take care of you in your later life. His tone was like a spring breeze, but the words he spoke carried the chill of winter.
"But brother, Li Yuhan told me in person in front of me that he doesn't look down on you, you are the type she hates, and you are the kind that she hates very much. Now that she's turning her head and making peace with you, aren't you worried that she has other plans? Su Ning picked her fingers childishly, although she had always been unruly and disdainful for saying bad things about people behind her back, but now, there was no other way.
Lu Xiao smiled slightly, "That's because you don't know how we met, don't say that I used to be the type she hated, how could she not be the object of my disgust?" "Obviously talking about disgust, but no matter how you look at that expression, it's all reminiscing about the sweetness of the past, the corners of the crooked mouth, and the eyes full of affection have anything to do with disgust?
"You've been fooled by her...... You have already suffered emotionally, and I advise you to still have reservations about her. Are today's girls greedy for money? β
"Money?" The corners of Lu Xiao's mouth hooked up an embarrassed smile, "It would be great if Yu Han could really covet his own money, or that he could really have money and ask Yu Han to covet it!" β
"My sister has indeed grown up and knows that she cares about her brother." Lu Xiao reached out and touched the back of Su Ning's head, she wore a wig today, although it still feels good, but it always feels weird.
"I'm not concerned about you, I'm worried...... You...... The money was given to other women, and the time was gone. "It's true that lies are a bit counterintuitive, but for now it's probably the best way to escape embarrassment.
Lu Xiao looked at Su Ning, there were some words, it would be better not to say them.
"Do you want to bring your sister-in-law here? How about we have a late-night snack? Lu Xiao looked at the silent clock hanging on the wall, and it was already 0.15 minutes in the morning of the next day.
"Sister-in-law? Brother, don't you think it's too early to call you now? Su Ning felt goosebumps all over her body, she had known Lu Xiao for so many years, she had never seen this brother so naughty and relaxed, looking at the innocent and happy smile on the big boy's face, Su Ning's heart also tightened slightly.
"Call early, rest assured."
That smile is as warm as ever, and letting go may not be too difficult.
"It's really hard for you to not sleep so late?" The door opened, and Yu Han was still dressed as when she left, not even changing her comfortable pajamas. "Don't look at it, I'm alone, my brother said that he was afraid that you would sleep alone and be lonely, so he specially sent me to accompany you." Su Ning leaned against the corner, as she always had been uninhibited.
"You cried?" Girls have always been careful and sensitive, and Yu Han saw the tears on Su Ning's face at a glance.
"I've cried, I've cried for you." Su Ning's mouth was stiff, but Yu Han didn't care.
"Then I have to thank you."
"Don't thank me, treat my brother well in the future, otherwise, you have learned how good I am." Su Ning clenched her fists.
"Tang Suning! I told you to call your sister-in-law, why are you so long? Across the door, Lu Xiao shouted loudly through a corridor.
"I ......" Su Ning replied with hatred, turned her head and said with a smile, "That's fine, why are you in a hurry." Turning his head, he gave Yu Han a hateful look, "My brother told you to go over and clean up the table, hurry up, don't rub it off!" β
The romantic candlelight dinner for two has turned into a supper for three people, and Lu Xiao's house tonight is destined to be sleepless all night.
Su Ning didn't know if she had ulterior motives or other intentions, and after simply eating something, she became interested in Lu Xiao's Lafite. The crux of the matter is that she is not only interested in herself, but also pulls Yuhan. As long as Yu Han didn't drink it, she said that she was careful to hold grudges and didn't take her future sister-in-law seriously at all. The helpless Yu Han can only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, although Su Ning is just a sister-in-law, not as good as her mother-in-law, but if she offends the person in front of her, it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat in the future.
It's better to take the opportunity to stammer Tang Suning, she will drink when she asks to drink, anyway, her own amount of alcohol is ...... No one else knows, and she doesn't know herself, because she's never been drunk.
Yuhan's alcohol consumption is indeed unknown to outsiders. Ever since she was just sensible, Li Han often took her eldest princess to various banquets and receptions. In other words, Yu Han has been smoked in the smell of wine since he was a child, and he is quite disgusted with this thing. Sometimes while adults are not paying attention, they secretly wipe it in their mouths, although this way is extremely detrimental to the physical and mental health of children, but the self-taught Yuhan is riding a horse and whipping on the road of wine tasting, and climbs step by step.
Later, when she was older, she didn't need to drink secretly when she attended such an occasion, and those uncles and aunts would tease her and tell her to drink a little. For this reason, Ms. Wei Shumin also turned her face with an old friend, but who called her daughter angry. As soon as he had a falling out with someone because of the drinking, Yuhan turned his face and apologized to someone for drinking.
There are many times, and it is indeed nothing to look at Yu Han, plus he is already eighteen years old, and it is nothing to drink a little red wine, so Wei Shumin will turn a blind eye.
However, what Ms. Wei still doesn't know is that Yuhan's alcohol consumption is not limited to red wine, and the level of white wine is also at the level of a thousand glasses without getting drunk.
The Su Ning in front of him, although he grew up abroad, although he was less restrained by his parents since he was a child, and although he thought that the amount of alcohol was still good, in front of Yu Han, it was indeed a big thing, and Guan Gong played a big knife in front of him, and he was left to laugh.
After three rounds of drinking, it has reached a category that is completely beyond Lu Xiao's control, Su Ning pulled Yu Han's collar with his eyes and said drunkly, "You are so annoying, relying on your pure and lovely face to pretend to be innocent everywhere, even my brother...... My brother has been deceived by you......"
"Then you're wrong, it's not your brother I lied, we are in love. You little brat, you don't understand. Yu Han glanced at Lu Xiao, who had completely given up restraining them, with a pair of autumn wave eyes, and then smiled, and that smile rendered a beautiful pink flower on his cheeks.
"Who says I don't understand? I knew much earlier than you. Another glance turned to Lu Xiao, and he quickly turned his head to look away.
"You...... It won't be like ......," Yu Han pretended to be confused with the strength of the wine.
"Don't talk nonsense! That's my brother! Su Ning's thoughts, which were well concealed and not known to outsiders at all, were said by Yu Han in such a grand manner, her whole person was excited, and her confused consciousness suddenly sobered up half, she looked at Lu Xiao's nostrils and sneered, "What is there about him, you guys...... What is the name of the leader of your company? Su Ning grabbed her head and pondered.
βTimmyγβ Yu Han took another sip of red wine.
"Yes, yes, yes, Timmy, I've seen him, I think that guy ...... It's kind of ...... It's kind of interesting. Su Ning stared at the wine glass in front of her with bright eyes, and there was Lu Xiao's shadow in it.
