Chapter 16: The Nightmare God's Black Trench Coat
"Luo Xinyan! Her name is Luo Xinyan! Lu Xingyao was still flustered because she had made a mistake and said the word "Lu", and Luo Huilan on the side quickly stepped forward to speak for her.
Of course, don't forget to tap her on the head, "Hit you stupid?!" Don't even remember your last name? β
Lu Xingyao held his head, stuck out his tongue, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "I forgot it for a while......."
Fortunately, You Xiangdong didn't seem to suspect anything, and he carefully repeated the name of Lu Xingyao's original owner several times.
Luo Xinyan ...... Luo Xinyan ....... Well, I remember your name. As he spoke, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate, he looked at the caller ID, walked to a quieter corner of the ward, and answered with a swipe.
Lu Xingyao tiptoed behind him. Because she was standing very close to him just now, she also saw his caller ID. That's her father, Lu Kangcheng, calling!
"Hey, I'm swimming east."
Lu Xingyao leaned over, trying to hear what the people inside were saying, but in the end, he couldn't hear anything, only the voice of You Xiangdong talking.
"Talk? What do you want to talk about? β
"Okay, tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, I'll wait for you in the office. I'll send you the address later. β
You Xiangdong hung up the phone, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Xingyao's face magnified ten times in front of him! The big goldfish-like eyes made him so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the phone in his hand!
"Oh my God! Why are you standing behind someone else and eavesdropping on someone's phone call?! β
Lu Xingyao was caught red-handed, and hurriedly tried to squeeze out a bright smile, rubbed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Barrister You, I have admired you for a long time, I don't know your law firm, do you want to hire a clerk?" β
Swim to the east: "? β
"I ...... The results of the college entrance examination are not good, but I have already applied to retake the exam, and I will be able to enter in about September. I don't know if you'd like to take me in for the time being? I don't have a high salary, I just want to scrape together some money and help my mother make up for it......"
Seeing You Xiangdong's hesitant eyes, Lu Xingyao hurriedly flew up, pulled the sleeve of his coat, and habitually smoothed the wrinkles on it.
Swim to the east and immediately froze.
No way! The person in front of him is really too similar to someone. Even when she is coquettish or has requirements for him, she is exactly the same, and likes to grab his sleeves and smooth the wrinkles on his clothes.
Lu Xingyao continued: "That, didn't you just say that I was a good girl? I will definitely work obediently and I will not let you down. And, I'll be able to go to work tomorrow! β
Xiao Tao's mother heard it and couldn't help but interject: "Tomorrow? And your wounds ......."
"No, no, my injuries don't get in the way. Nothing is more important than my mother's illness, I think...... Give her a sum of money for the first time of surgery, and then try not to her off. She's not in good health and needs to be healed quickly. β
Lu Xing looked at Luo Huilan from afar and said sincerely.
Because she has already lost her mother once, she doesn't want Luo Xinyan to have to go through it once after she returns to her body. Some pain, it's good to know it yourself, and you don't have to let others empathize.
Luo Huilan frowned on the side, as if she had heard the most incredible words in the world!
You Xiangdong also glanced at Luo Huilan stupidly, seeing that the old woman's eyes were full of tears, thinking that what this girl said should not be a lie.
Besides, Lu Kangcheng is coming tomorrow, and he doesn't even have an assistant in his office, so it's too ugly, right? This is very damaging to his barrister's face!
After thinking about it again and again, weighing the pros and cons, he said angrily: "Okay then...... I need someone tomorrow, so come over tomorrow! But I declare in advance that my office doesn't need anyone, but it just happens to be tomorrow. Your day's wages, let's calculate it by the hour, one hour...... Belch...... Eight bucks, okay? β
"Okay!" In fact, what Lu Xingyao's head is thinking about is just doing tomorrow's work!
After all, I said on the phone that Lu Kangcheng is coming tomorrow! As long as there is a chance to see Lu Kangcheng, she has to hold it all!
The arrangement of swimming to the east also won her heart!
"Barrister You, I'll be out of your office at 8 o'clock tomorrow! Send me the address later! Goodbye! Lu Xingyao was afraid that he would change his mind again, so he hurriedly walked to Luo Huilan's side, picked her up and was about to leave, and quickly discharged from the hospital, so that he would regret it later.
Luo Huilan "......", and before she could react to anything, she dragged her out.
The moonlight sprinkled lightly on the road home for the two of them, as if reflecting the dead leaves on the ground, as if the ground was covered with stars.
Lu Xingyao and Luo Huilan walked side by side in a rare way, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was quite embarrassing.
Lu Xingyao: "Uh, do you want to eat something?" β
Luo Huilan: "Where did you sleep last night?" β
As a result, now it's okay, don't say it at once, and say both when you speak.
Lu Xingyao is also a junior, since the elders have asked, he can only answer first: "I slept at Uncle Huang's house next door last night." β
Maybe the wound on the back of her head was medicated and was almost healed, she put her hand on the back of her head, and wanted to scratch it. However, Luo Huilan clapped his hands.
"Huang Hao?"
Lu Xingyao thought about it carefully, when the oily-faced uncle rubbed the medicine yesterday, he seemed to introduce himself as Huang Hao, and quickly nodded twice.
Luo Huilan was silent for a while, and continued to walk forward a few steps, only to suddenly remember what Lu Xingyao had asked her just now.
"Well, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? β
Lu Xingyao's soul has been transferred here for two days, and it is the first time that he has talked to her, the original owner's mother, so calmly, without moving his hands and feet!
Hurriedly replied: "Whatever I want to eat, will you buy it for me?" β
Although this girl is a bit of an inch, Luo Huilan remembered that she had done so many good things today, and it was a reward to buy her some delicious food, so she nodded, then took out the small purse on her waist and took out some money.
Lu Xingyao said excitedly: "Then, shall we go to that restaurant for a steak?" I'm going to get it like that...... Ah! β
Before she finished speaking, Luo Huilan's fist fell on her head again, pointing at a high-end Western restaurant.
However, because I thought that she had just been injured, the strength of her hands was light.
"Don't you know what's going on in our family?! I also want to go to the restaurant to eat! No! Wait for me here! After Luo Huilan lightly beat the carried away Lu Xingyao, she crossed the road and went to the convenience store opposite.
It's a convenience store again......
Lu Xingyao pouted boringly, even if he longed for a few Western restaurants next door, he still had to hold back. She used to treat this kind of Western restaurant as a normal place to eat, but she didn't expect that some people would have to think about it for a long time if they wanted to eat a meal inside...... I can't eat it!
Actually, Luo Huilan is right, their family is indeed not in a very good condition, and they have to raise money to give her heart surgery as soon as possible! Otherwise, that heart is like a time bomb, and I don't know when it will explode.
She didn't want to successfully complete the task by herself and return her body to Luo Xinyan, but she couldn't pay her back as a mother.
She stood idly on the side of the road waiting for Luo Huilan, who was buying food inside, when she suddenly felt a chill behind her.
Turning around, the Nightmare God in a black trench coat was standing beside her.
"Why are you here?!" Feeling fooled by the people passing by the road, she put the phone in her hand to her ear and pretended to be talking.
The Nightmare glanced at her indifferently. "I've been there for you, watching you do all sorts of stupid things today."
"What's the stupid thing?" Lu Xingyao felt that he was simply the most shrewd cub in the world.
Within one day, not only did he solve the grim relationship with Luo Huilan, but also found a temporary job!
Although she lost the opportunity to talk to Lu Kangcheng today, she successfully grasped the opportunity tomorrow! This is simply a village with no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright!
Nightmare poked her finger at the gauze-covered wound on the back of her head.
"Hissββ!" Lu Xingyao instantly felt the pain in his heart!
Hurriedly brushed his hand away, and said angrily: "Go away!" Do you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade! It hurts! β
The nightmare god's eyes were still cold, "I know it hurts, so I still rush up?" β
She glared at him, "Who can control themselves!" The situation was urgent! I didn't know what to do, so my body jumped up first. β
In the cold night, a cool breeze blew. I don't know if it's because the nightmare god is by his side, Lu Xingyao felt very cold, and couldn't help rubbing his hands, hoping to rub some heat energy.
The nightmare god didn't say anything, and the man suddenly disappeared again.
The problem that disappears as he speaks, Lu Xingyao has long been used to it. When I raised my head, I just saw Luo Huilan, who was holding a small bag in her hand, coming out of the convenience store, waiting for the red light to turn green, and then trotting across the road and returning to her side.
"What are you buying? Let me see! Lu Xingyao couldn't wait for the food she bought, so he quickly took the small bag from her hand and rummaged through it happily.
Unexpectedly, I found two frozen steaks, a can of barbecue sauce, and a cabbage lying inside. Her expression was a little disappointed. I thought it was junk food from the convenience store!
Luo Huilan looked at her sideways, "Where did you get your coat?" Isn't it going to eat steak? I bought it, and I made it for you to eat at home. That kind of Western restaurant is expensive and not nutritious, we don't eat it! β
Coat? Lu Xingyao took a closer look, only to find that he was wearing a big black windbreaker!
His face instantly darkened.
This...... Isn't this the legendary black trench coat of the Bad God?! When did it happen to her?! Could it be because she was cold just now, so that guy deliberately left it for her?!
After being tortured by that guy for so long, she was still a little scared when she was suddenly kind to her!
Luo Huilan stepped forward, retrieved the small bag in her hand, and hobbled home.
Lu Xingyao was puzzled for a while, until Luo Huilan in front of him shouted: "What are you doing?" Don't go home? Only then did he panic and hold on to the black windbreaker on his body in a hurry to keep up!
This nightmare god is really confusing sometimes!
*
in a boardhouse.
After Lu Xingyao ate Luo Huilan's love steak, he could summarize a few things.
One, Luo Huilan's cooking skills are really not good. It doesn't matter if a good medium-rare steak is fried until it is fully cooked, it is still black and burnt...... This is really the worst steak she has ever tasted in her life!
Second, the small kitchen of this kind of wooden board house is really not suitable for cooking high-smoke food such as fried steak. However, frying two steaks, Lu Xingyao felt that the whole room was full of steak smell, even on himself!
Ay...... Why don't you take a shower first!
She stood up, walked to the room, and turned around, only to realize that her luggage was still in Huang Hao's house!
"What are you doing?" And Luo Huilan, who had just washed the dishes and came out of the kitchen, saw her rummaging in the room, suddenly rushed into the room out of control, and angrily pulled her away from a half-open closet!
"You...... I still misread you! So you came back with me just to steal?! β
Lu Xingyao stood there stupidly, not understanding what she was talking about.
"What are you stealing? I just felt that the smell of steak on my body was too strong, and I wanted to take a shower, so I remembered that my clothes and luggage were left at Uncle Huang's house. I wonder if it would be rude for us to knock on his door at this time? β
Luo Huilan turned around to check the traces in the closet that she had rummaged through. I saw that the clothes were still neatly placed inside, indicating that she was really looking for clothes, not looking for things hidden in the clothes. Because if she really wanted to turn it over, the clothes couldn't be so neat.
If you find that the clothes are not your own, just put them back!
Luo Huilan's tense nerves relaxed at this time, took out some clothes from another closet, and handed them to her. "Well, this is yours."
Ah, that's great!
"Thank you, Mom!" Lu Xingyao was overjoyed, took the clothes handed over by her, habitually hugged her the way he treated his stepmother Long Xiangxiang at home, and then kissed her on the face!
Luo Huilan: "......", I can't believe what this daughter did to me just now!
