9 The ninth night
Not long after returning to the residence, Ji He received a call from Ms. Sui, and her aunt was also there, and as soon as she connected, she interrogated her about tonight.
"Didn't bully you, did you?" Ms. Sui asked.
Auntie sighed, "I said sister, what you said is not good." ”
Ji He suddenly remembered Lu Xunzhi's sister-in-law's eyes, hurriedly shook his head, and waited for the phone to be silent before interjecting, "His family is very easy to get along with, Mom, auntie, don't worry." ”
The aunt suddenly triumphed: "Yes, how can a powerful family embarrass a little girl, didn't you listen to the sister-in-law of the Lu family, just Lu Xunzhi and his grandmother, but he likes our family Jihe, full of praise." ”
Ms. Sui frowned and asked, "Then his father, what is the attitude of the old man of his family?" ”
What attitude? Ji He thought about it, she really didn't talk to Father Lu tonight, but before leaving, Old Man Lu asked her a few words, and mentioned Director Ji to her.
She replied cautiously, "It's all good." ”
"That's fine," said Ms. Sui, "you can prepare for class, and tomorrow you will go home for dinner, and your father will not work overtime." ”
After saying that, she hung up the phone and didn't give her a chance to find a reason to refuse.
Ji He sighed, talking to Ms. Sui on the phone is always like this, she only listens to what she wants to hear.
The tips of the big white ears lying on the hanging chair heard the sigh of the shovel officer, and jumped lazily off the ground, stretched out his little arms and made a graceful stretch before walking over and rubbing his legs.
"Meow~"
Ji He picked up Dabai and put it on his lap while turning on the computer, and soon entered the working mode.
-
Early on Monday morning, after doing what he should do in the morning as usual, Ji He went out to work with breakfast.
Out of the door of the unit building, I met Shen Qi, who was also in the history of the second year of junior high school in Beijing, a male teacher who looked very gentle and white, who was only transferred to Beijing last year, and happened to live in a community with her.
Ji He remembered that she got up late once, and hurriedly went out to meet Shen Qi, who also got up late, and he happened to have a car, so she took a ride, not expecting to be seen by other teachers, and since then she and Shen Qi have been ridiculed.
It was useless to explain a few times, anyway, she was not afraid of shadows, so she and Shen Qi didn't bother to speak.
Shen Qi slowed down and waited for Ji He to come over, "Teacher Ji, it's a little late today, I usually can't see you when I go out at this point." ”
Ji He said as he walked: "I have been preparing for class for a long time last night, by the way, Teacher Shen does not have a class of three classes today, please ask Luo Yiting to come to the office to find me after class, and I have something to tell her." ”
"Okay, do you want to ride in my car today?"
"Don't be," Ji He smiled, "I'm afraid, let's take the subway, no traffic jams, it's fast." ”
Shen Qi also smiled, "Those teachers are just idle, they love to use these things for fun, the more deliberate you are, the more they think there is something wrong with the two of us, am I right?" ”
Ji He answered "yes", but still refused to take his car to school.
The two walked to the gate of the community, Shen Qi's car stopped on the side of the road, he didn't give up, and asked again: "Really don't sit?" ”
Ji He smiled and shook his head, and said euphemistically: "See you at school." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji He caught a glimpse of a long figure, she was stunned, and hurriedly turned her head to look over, it was really Lu Xunzhi.
At this time, he leaned lazily on the car door, crossed his arms in front of his chest, squinted slightly to look this way, and after his eyes met, he walked over slowly.
Ji He pretended to be calm, turned his head to say goodbye to Shen Qi, and then walked in the direction where Lu Xunzhi came from.
It cooled down last night, and she added an off-white blazer to her daily commuting outfit, and her hair was casually clamped with a grab clip, and her body looked very clean and gentle.
Shen Qi didn't leave immediately, and his eyes fell directly on the tall man who stopped in front of Ji He.
Ji He looked up slightly and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”
Lu Xunzhi revealed the car keys hooked in his hand, "My sister-in-law said that let the two of us cultivate and cultivate feelings, and forcibly give an order in the morning, let me pick you up from work during this time." ”
As he spoke, Lu Xunzhi's gaze casually crossed the top of Ji He's head, and his deep and cold black eyes stopped on Shen Qi's body for a moment.
Ji He was clear, although he had told himself not to have too much expectations for this upcoming 'marriage', but at this time, when he heard that Lu Xunzhi was forced to come, his heart was still uncontrollably sour, and the feeling of being stuffy and swollen really made people want to escape.
She pursed her lips and tried to pull out a relaxed smile, "Don't, this is so troublesome for you, you go back and tell Aunt Lu, I'm used to taking the subway at work." As you know, there is no traffic jam in Beijing, the subway is much more convenient, and you can just step on a shared bicycle back after work. ”
Lu Xunzhi smiled: "This order can only be implemented, and the violator is homeless, so Teacher Ji will receive her kindness from an old man." ”
Ji He smiled "poof", this time it was from the heart, she was amused by Lu Xunzhi's words.
"Does Aunt Lu know that she has become an old man here at your age?"
Lu Xunzhi turned around and said, "Can you not know, do you guess what she said to me?" ”
Ji He was no longer hypocritical, and followed him into the car, "What did you say?" ”
"Fuck you." He said this in a very authentic Beijing accent.
Ji He lowered his eyes, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.
At one o'clock in the evening, Lu Xunzhi's car appeared at the school gate on time, Ji He said in the morning that his car was too eye-catching, and asked if he could stop at the school gate and move a little to the side when he came in the afternoon.
No, in the afternoon he changed to the most inconspicuous 'cheap car' in the garage, the kind that no one was willing to give eyes on the road.
Ji He stepped on the sunset and walked out of the school gate, and after saying goodbye to the teacher who was traveling with her, she looked around for a while, but she didn't see the car in the morning of Lu Xunzhi, and she was really surprised that he would be so obedient and park the car to the side.
She took out her mobile phone and opened WeChat, and Lu Xunzhi said that the two boxes were up, and she came back immediately.
Type on your phone's keyboard as you walk.
- Did you say you were there in my morning? I'll be over right away.
Lu Xun didn't move, just watched the girl walk in front of his car with her head down.
The phone vibrate, he glanced at it, then opened the car door and went down, strode over and grabbed Ji He's slender arm and walked back.
Ji He's sense of smell is relatively sensitive, she can smell and recognize people, and she knows who it is as soon as the cold breath gets close to her.
She honestly was grabbed by his arm, and after taking two steps, she couldn't help but say, "I didn't know you changed cars, so I didn't pay much attention to you in that car." ”
Lu Xunzhi felt that this girl looked gentle and gentle on her face, but in fact, she was wilting in her heart, and she obviously saw him when she sent him a message.
He opened the co-pilot's door and stuffed the person in, and smiled good-naturedly, "Yes, my pot, I didn't tell Mr. Ji in advance." ”
Ji He pursed his lips, but smiled silently.
Lu Xunzhi led her to Dongcheng for dinner, which was a private restaurant.
The boss is a friend of Lu Xunzhi, who happened to be not here today, the signature of the restaurant is Cantonese cuisine, the taste is light, and he specially asked the kitchen to prepare a chili pepper for her when ordering.
"This pepper is chopped by the chef by hand, try it, and if you like it, take two cans with you."
Ji He put some in his mouth, it was just right medium spicy, fresh and salty, which was very in line with her taste.
She saw Lu Xunzhi staring at her, picked up the small bowl of chili peppers and put it in front of him, "Do you want to taste it?" ”
As expected, Lu Xunzhi's face darkened, and he didn't politely push the bowl back into place.
Let's just say that this girl is very bad.
On the way back, Ji He was curious if Lu Xunzhi was not busy, and he was afraid that he would delay his business because he was going to pick her up.
Lu Xunzhi turned the steering wheel, the car drove to Fengtai, and replied lightly: "I'm just an idler." ”
That's not a lie, he really doesn't have a fixed thing to do in Beijing, he and his friends set up a studio in the United States when he was in college, engaged in artificial intelligence, and when the studio was stable, he became the shopkeeper and went to the mountains and rivers.
Later, when he returned to China, he took shares in several promising companies, and became a major shareholder, just relying on the monthly dividends of one of the technology companies into his account, which was enough to eat for a lifetime.
Even if he doesn't make these investments, he doesn't lack them at all, but he just promised the old man at home. Politics has to be a good business.
He is used to being free and casual, and he doesn't like to be bound by things like fame and fortune.
-
In the next few days, Ji He didn't have to rush to take the subway in the morning, except for work hours, he could see Lu Xunzhi.
The wedding date is approaching.
The wedding dress was tailor-made by Aunt Lu from a well-known foreign designer, and Lu Xunzhi happened to have something to do on the day she went to try on the wedding dress, and he was catching up when Ji He came out with a wedding dress.
Ji He, who was originally quite natural, became a little nervous when he saw Lu Xun, and his eyes wandered and he just didn't look at him.
Also appeared with Jiang Jing, the matter on Huairou's side was still caused by Jiang Jing, Lu Xunzhi received a call in the middle of the night, and went over to help him settle it with a chill.
Jiang Jing used to hear his girlfriends say that women are the most beautiful when they wear wedding dresses, and he still scoffed at them, at that time, he always felt that these girls were just trying to hint at him? He also didn't give face, saying that there was nothing good about being white.
But when he saw Ji He at this time, he slapped himself in the face.
"Little sister-in-law, it's not that I'm exaggerating, you put on this wedding dress, and you have something to do with that, yes, fairies, more beautiful than fairies in the sky."
Ji He's face was slightly red, and he smiled: "Are these sincere?" ”
Jiang actually gave a thumbs up: "It must be sincere." ”
Lu Xunzhi withdrew the sight that fell on Ji He, picked up the veil on the table, walked over, and put the veil on the back of her head under the guidance of the staff.
Ji He was breathing tightly the whole time, and she couldn't wait to grow her eyes to the back of her head, so that she could observe and observe Lu Xunzhi, who was moving gently at the moment, whether his expression and eyes were also a little tender.
Until now, Ji He still felt very unreal, and when she talked to Qu Zhiyi on the phone last night, she asked Zhiyi if she was in a dream, otherwise how could she meet the person she had secretly loved for many years every day, and even in the near future, this person would become her husband.
Qu Zhiyi pretended to be sour and said, "Your dream has come true." ”
Song Yao next to him interjected, "If you don't forget, there will be an echo." ”
Before the corners of Ji He's mouth were raised, Zhiyi asked her how the relationship with Lu Xunzhi had been cultivated.
Thinking of getting along during this time, although we met every day, there was almost no communication, and Lu Xunzhi really didn't talk much.
She always felt that Lu Xunzhi was just completing the task.
Qu Zhiyi got up from Song Yao and walked to the balcony with his slippers, "It means that you are unilaterally interesting to people, and people just regard you as a marriage partner arranged by the family." ”
"Yes." Ji He replied firmly.
Qu Zhiyi looked at the face on the screen and smiled, "You can't help but sink while you are sober." ”
Ji He didn't say a word, and once again agreed with Qu Zhiyi's words.
Lu Xunzhi tidied up his veil, went around to the front to take a look, and then found that Ji He's eyes were empty.
Distracted.
He took off the coat on his body to cover Ji He's slender white and round shoulders, and this little movement pulled Ji He's thoughts back from running away.
She looked at the suit on her shoulder, and Lu Xunzhi only had a thin white shirt on her body.
The weather is getting colder, and the indoor heating is not turned on yet, so it will be cold.
"I'm not too cold." As she spoke, she lifted her coat.
Lu Xunzhi pressed Ji He's shoulder and didn't let her take it off, "What were you thinking just now?" ”
Ji He shook his head, suppressed the strange emotions surging in his heart, raised his eyes into those dark eyes with no emotional fluctuations, and whispered, "You can also try it." ”
Lu Xunzhi glanced at her, didn't say anything, and followed the staff.
Jiang actually sat on the sofa with his mobile phone in his hand, clicked on the group, and his fingers quickly flew in the keyboard.
Jiang: Good news, the iron tree is blooming, tonight's wine Lu Gongzi, please.
Qu: Isn't it early blooming? So I went back and took the girl to the villa.
Jiang: This time it's a happy wine.
A bunch of question marks immediately dominated the screen in the group.
There are only a dozen or so people in this group, some of whom have grown up in a compound since childhood, and the rest are more familiar to some circles.
The circle is also divided into levels, and in this group are the kind of people who know that they are unattainable just by hearing their names.
Xu Yu: Really?
Jiang actually raised his eyes and glanced at Ji He, who was standing quietly waiting for Lu Xunzhi, and then replied to Sister Xu in the group.
Jiang: Yes, you don't have any hope.
Luo: What is the origin of that girl, can make the Lu family agree.
Qu: Pretty is beautiful, but I always feel like there's something missing from her.
Jiang: It's okay, the daughter of the director of a local bureau.
The person who sent a message to the group at the same time as Jiang Jing was Lu Xunzhi.
Lu Xunzhi: What do I need for the wife I am looking for? Is it enough for me to come from this background?
The group was suddenly swiped by various emojis.
Jiang actually yelled at the changing room with a hippie smile: "Oh, just protect it like this?" ”
Ji He turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at Jiang Jing inexplicably.
Jiang actually grinned and raised his mobile phone, "It's okay, my brothers are chatting." ”
