"You ......" Ning Xi turned her face in surprise, "you bought this house?" ”

"In this case, it will be more convenient for you to take care of your father in the future." Jiang Lu took out a bunch of keys from her body and handed them to her, "Open the door?" ”

Ning Xi has also been thinking about this before.

Ning Zhiyuan's current state, even if he finds a nanny, he needs to be taken care of often.

If she moved to live with Jiang Lu, the distance would be too far, and it would be unrealistic to run back and forth every day.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lu had already made arrangements.

The two villas are in a small community, only a few minutes' walk away, which can not only avoid the inconvenience of living together as a family, but also go back to take care of my father at any time.

"My husband is so thoughtful."

Raising his hand to hold Jiang Lu's shoulder, he kissed the man on the cheek, Ning Xi smiled and took the key and opened the door.

Sunlight shines in through floor-to-ceiling windows.

The whole villa is newly renovated in a style that is her favourite cosy and rustic style, somewhat similar to her family's old home.

However, from some details, you can still see the ingenuity of the designer.

The second floor is the bedroom, and the third floor is the study and piano room.

Outside the piano room is a terrace garden, because it is winter and there are only some evergreen flowers and plants.

However, it is conceivable that by tomorrow spring and summer, the flowers and foliage will definitely flourish.

Every day, she can see these beautiful scenery as long as she stands in the piano room.

The two went downstairs again, and Jiang Lu helped her pour a glass of warm water.

"How's that, do you like it?" Jiang Lu asked.

"Yes." Ning Xi smiled and nodded, "It's just designed in my heart, don't tell me, you designed it?" ”

"I don't have the skills." Jiang Lu blinked, "It was designed by your brother himself." ”

"Okay!" Ning Xi put the water cup on the bar and gave him a roll of his eyes, "You two are working together to lie to me." ”

"It's not a lie, it's just a surprise." Jiang Lu bypassed the bar and walked in front of her, "It's a pity, I did tell you a lot of lies before, and because of these lies, we will be separated several times by misunderstanding, so ...... From today onwards, I will not lie to you again, and...... I'm going to tell you all the truth. ”

"How?" Ning Xi tilted his head and smiled evilly, "What bad things are you doing behind my back again?" ”

Jiang Lu didn't speak, turned around and took the backpack he carried back from Jiang's house.

Unzip it, take out a sketchbook, and bring it to her.

"What is this?"

Ning Xi took it in doubt.

"It's my sketchbook, given to me by my mom on my first day of middle school." Jiang Lu took a deep breath a little nervously, "You can open it now." ”

Seeing that he was a little nervous, he opened the sketchbook in his hand in confusion.

On the first page, a girl is drawn.

Dressed in a white dress, with long hair fluttering, only the back of a violin.

Underneath the painting is the date, which was eight years ago.

Turning back again, almost all of them are backs, and none of them have painted faces, which are also painted by Jiang Lu eight years ago.

Ning Xi looked at Jiang Lu and continued to flip in puzzlement.

Finally, a frontal sketch appeared.

Is that......

her face.

She stood on the podium, playing the piano intently.

The date below says September 21, 20XX.

"What is this?"

"The first time I met you, it was my first day of transfer, and you attended an event at the school, performing on stage."

0912？

It turns out that this number is this meaning.

Ning Xi was stunned, "You...... It's all about me? ”

"That's right." Jiang Lu nodded lightly, "Actually, we've known each other for eight or nine years. ”

"This ...... It's impossible, I've never seen you before. ”

A boy as outstanding as him, if she knew him, it was impossible not to remember?

"Have you forgotten that L who learned Chinese with you on the Internet?"

Ning Xi raised her face and stared at him fixedly for a long time, and finally chuckled.

"You're L?"

At that time, she was preparing to study music abroad and made up for her English.

In order to practice speaking, I used social networks to make several foreign netizens online.

Online, she met a middle school student named "L" who said he was Asian-American who grew up abroad and wanted to learn Chinese.

So, the two hit it off, she taught him Chinese, and he helped her practice spoken English.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I've thought about telling you, but ......" Jiang Lu lowered his eyelashes, "I'm afraid you'll hate me." ”

After the death of his mother, this netizen, who had never met before, became Jiang Lu's greatest psychological comfort.

At that time, he agreed to leave for China with Jiang, and his preference was also an important reason.

He wanted to see what kind of person this girl who accompanied him through the darkest time.

He wanted to come and meet her.

On the first day of transferring to her school, he saw Ning Xi for the first time.

At that time, she was standing on the stage, dressed in a red dress, beautiful like an angel.

At school, everyone liked her.

It's not just the boys, it's the girls.

At that time, Jiang Lu not only lost his mother, but also knew the secret of his life - an illegitimate child who could not see the light.

Feeling his mood at that time, he caressed his face with pity.

"I never hated you, and I was sad for a long time when you disappeared."

"Actually......" Jiang Lu raised his palm and covered the back of her hand, "From the first time I saw you, I knew that you were my dream." ”

Ning Xi smiled and shook his head, "How can I be so good?" ”

"You're so good to me." Jiang Lu stared into her eyes and took a deep breath, "I have to be honest with you, in fact, I have been paying attention to you all these years, including the person who recommended you to go to the clubhouse to find me that day, and I also arranged it. ”

Although she is abroad, Jiang Lu has been paying attention to her whereabouts.

even quietly returned to China several times, just to take a look at her.

Many times, he wanted to reappear in front of her, but he was afraid of scaring her, so he could only hide far away.

It wasn't until something happened to the Jiang family and knew that she was facing the most difficult situation in her life that he finally had the courage to reappear.

Ning Xi looked stunned.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Yiyi's casual joke actually revealed the truth.

Jiang Lu really returned to China for her?

"But there's one thing I still don't understand, how do you know that I can't have contact with boys?"

That matter was her secret, and it stands to reason that Jiang Lu shouldn't know about it.

"Because ......," Jiang Lu's voice was soft, "I know who that person is." ”

"Who is it?"

"It's Chu Jinyan."

"What?" Ning Xi was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

"After knowing that you had an accident, I have been investigating the events of that night, and then I heard that that that night, Chu Jinyan went back to school, and I also saw that his school uniform was torn and there were scratches on his body. I confronted him, and he didn't admit it, so ...... I got into a fight with him. ”

"That's it, the one you fought on the playground?"

Jiang Lu nodded slightly.

No wonder, Jiang Qicheng said, she once ruined Jiang Lu's life.

Because of that one, he failed the college entrance examination, which is tantamount to ruining his future.

"I know, I'm mean, I'm very selfish......" Jiang Lu lowered his eyelashes, not daring to look into her eyes, "I...... I apologize to you for all my lies, if...... If you can't forgive me, I'...... I won't embarrass you, I can...... Disappear instantly and never disturb your life again. ”

Ning Xi froze in shock, she never knew.

He had done so much for her in places she didn't know!

Didn't hear her response, Jiang Lu's hands clenched at his side.

I didn't dare to tell her, because I was afraid that she would not be able to accept the truth if she knew it, his meanness and paranoia.

Really......

She couldn't accept that.

"I'm really sorry, I ...... I'm so sorry. ”

Jiang Lu turned around with heavy footsteps and walked towards the door.

"Stop!" Ning Xi hurriedly chased after him, "You are gone, what should I do with the baby?" ”

"I'm ......" Jiang Lu stopped and turned around again, "I'm sorry, I just don't want to lie to you all the time anymore, no matter what decision you make, I ...... Won't embarrass me anymore. ”

"You've lied to me so much and lied to me for so long...... "Ning Xi walked slowly up to him, "isn't it...... Should I be compensated? ”

"Of course!" Jiang Lu lowered his face and nodded, "You can compensate whatever you want." ”

"What if...... I want you to take care of me for the rest of my life! ”

Jiang Lu was stunned, slowly raised his face, and met her gaze.

The corners of the girl's lips were slightly raised, obviously deliberately teasing him.

"...... you" Jiang Lu frowned, still a little incredulous, "You're not angry with me?" ”

"Who says I'm not angry?" Ning Xi frowned and glared at him, pretending to sigh, "Who told me to love you for such a big liar, I can't let you harm others again, right?!" ”

Jiang Lu showed a look of ecstasy on his face, stepped forward, took her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you, thank you, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for the previous things, I promise, I will never lie to you again in the future!"

Ning Xi supported his shoulders with both hands and straightened up.

"Wouldn't you say anything other than thank you and sorry?"

Staring at her face, Jiang Lu slowly spoke.

"I'm sorry, I'm ...... I love you. ”

After seven years, he finally had enough courage to say these three words in her eyes.

"Big liar, big fool......" Ning Xi hugged his neck with red eyes, "I love you too, more than you think." ”
