Lu Xizhang is in the second room on the left side of the second floor. It is very bright inside and has a faint fragrance of hyacinth flowers. The servants should change the water every once in a while.It is as simple as ever, with black, white and gray as the keynote, in line with Lucy's preferences and style.Although the decoration is not complicated, it reflects the grade everywhere.Lu Xizhan's complexion was not very good, but she still let Qiao Yixia sit freely with a gentle voice.

Qiao Yixia is not stupid, although she only met for a short time just now, she already knows that the relationship between Lu Xizhan and her family is not harmonious.Although Helan Qiubai treated her tenderly, there was always a feeling of hiding a knife in his smile.As for her father and stepmother, Qiao Yixia temporarily classifies the noble lady as a stepmother. The story of the two of them can probably be written into a long bloody romance novel with hundreds of thousands of words.At the hospital that day, Lucifer did not call this place home, but "over there".

She could understand how much Lucy resisted this place and how little family affection she had. Perhaps it was for this reason that she became such a withdrawn person.

"Xia." Lu Xizhan called, "I'll go next door to see my brother, you wait for me here, don't go anywhere."

Qiao Yixia nodded and smiled slightly.

Lucy held the doorknob with a pair of white hands, and she trembled a little despite her usual calmness. She took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

I saw him in silhouette.

He turned his head and looked at himself, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to be hidden for a whole spring, he was standing in the distance, motionless, his short black hair was like a sea of ​​gold in the sun.She felt that her eyes were a little sour, and she walked forward step by step. With each step, she got closer to him, and her heart became more stable.

Until she stood in front of him, she burst into a smile, a smile that only he could see.

"gray."

She smiled even wider. At this moment, it seemed that she was no longer that scary Professor Lu, but just an ordinary, ordinary, fragile and simple girl.She took the initiative to reach out, hugged him, rested her head on his chest, felt his heartbeat, and felt the temperature of his big warm hand touching her head.

"Brother, I'm back."

Her elder brother, as always, is still as gentle as jade, like a gentleman isolated from the world, so clean and elegant that people feel that he should live in the bamboo leaf forest, so as not to be polluted by the world.The handsome man stretched out his hand to scrape her high nose bridge, his obsidian eyes were full of tenderness and stared at the younger sister who was connected by flesh and blood in front of him.

"When I just came back, I saw that the swing in our garden was gone, it was dismantled." The smile on the corner of Lu Xizhan's mouth disappeared, and he tugged at the corner of the man's clothes, with a coquettish tone, "When I was young, you wanted to make me happy, Every day to help me rock the swing."

"It doesn't matter if the swing is gone, my brother is still here." The man comforted Lu Xizhan doubly lovingly, his voice was so gentle that he could drown, "Cang Cang, brother is fine, you don't have to worry about it, just live your life with peace of mind. If you can be happy, brother will have no regrets in this life."

There was a bit of frustration in Lu Xizhan's eyes, revealing a fragility that outsiders couldn't see. She held the man's hand, and her eyes glowed with confidence and courage again: "Don't worry, I will definitely not accept the things that belong to our Lu family." It will be snatched away by outsiders. I will not let you and mother down."

Seeing Lu Xizhan's resolute look, the man's eyes were full of unbearable and pity. He reached out and stroked Lu Xizhan's cheek: "Gang Cang, look how beautiful you smile. Don't always be a smile from now on." You look so cold that no one dares to get close to you, my sister is so good, I shouldn't be the only one who hurts you."

"Didn't Mom tell us when I was a child? She said that the first person I would call back then was not Dad, nor Mom, but Brother. The call was very clear, and I still called it with a smile." When she said this, her eyes lit up. There is a long river of stars, the corner of her mouth is raised in a happy arc, the light and shadow sprinkled on her body, making her more beautiful than any landscape painting in this world, and more refreshing than any kind of floral fragrance.

The man gently took her into his arms again, not daring to be too loose, for fear that she might run away, but not too tight, for fear that it would hurt her: "Cang Cang, whether it's for me or mom, as long as you can live happily Happy, it doesn't matter whether the group's surname is Lu or Meng."

After returning to the bedroom, Qiao Yixia still sat quietly on the white fabric sofa, looking like a beautiful girl in a cartoon, gentle and beautiful.Lu Xizhan sat with her and asked her if anyone had come in just now, Qiao Yixia just shook her head and said no.It was late, and when she came out of Lu Shuye's room, the servant had already called her down to eat. Lu Xizhan was not hungry, but she was afraid that Qiao Yixia would be hungry, so she asked her to go to the restaurant on the first floor to eat together.

The dining room of the Lu family is very large and spacious. There are two servants standing on each side of the black extended dining table, refilling meals, passing table paper, and scooping soup for them.

Seeing the two of them coming down side by side, Helan Qiubai raised a standard celebrity smile, stepped forward and hugged Qiao Yixia's shoulders, and brought her to the seat: "Miss Qiao, please sit here." Then he pressed her shoulders and let her sit down go down.

As soon as this remark came out, except for the younger little girl, everyone's expressions were a little strange.Father Lu and the lady's weird expressions didn't last long, and they quickly took their seats without saying anything.

Only Lu Xizhan stood where he was, not taking a step forward.After about half a minute, she walked behind Qiao Yixia and said, "Xia, sit on the seat on my right."

Whether it's Lu Xizhan's father, her stepmother, or Helan Qiubai, they all know very well in their hearts that that belongs to Lu Shuye.Qiao Yixia is also very good at observing words and expressions, once Lu Xizhan said this, she then changed to another position.In fact, after the faces of the others changed just now, Qiao Yixia realized that this position may have a special meaning, for example, it may be the exclusive position of Lu Xizhan's deceased mother, but she can't get up immediately, so that Helan Qiubai can't get off the stage.

"Xizhan, you're too thin. Come on, eat more pork ribs. I specially ordered the cook to make it." Lu's father said as he picked up the ribs and wanted to give them to Lu Xizhan.

Because Lu Xizhan has a serious obsession with cleanliness, she has asked the cook to serve her meals alone since she was a child, but today, considering that Qiao Yixia is also here, Lu Xizhan was afraid that she would think too much or feel embarrassed, so she discussed with Helan Qiubai, let The cook makes individual servings for everyone.Let Qiao Yixia eat comfortably without embarrassment.

But Lu's father, seeing that his daughter was overly happy, offered to bring her some food, but Lu Xizhan politely refused: "No, thank you."

Father Lu's chopsticks were hanging in the air, very embarrassed, the little girl smiled and brought her bowl over: "Give it to me, Dad, I want to eat!" Father Lu smiled and put it in her bowl.

Lu Xihua put down her chopsticks, and began to peel the prawns on the plate with her slender hands. This plate is an old blue and white porcelain plate, which has a very classical charm. It can be seen that it is a genuine product, probably an antique from a few years ago.The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite harmonious, Helan Qiubai didn't say a word, but Lu's father chatted happily with Qiao Yixia, thanked her, praised her for being young and promising, and Qiao Yixia only exchanged polite greetings.

Until a prawn fell into the bowl placed on the seat on the left side of Lucy, she heard her say: "Come on, brother."

Looking at the empty seat, Qiao Yixia felt a little complicated in her heart.Looking at Helan Qiubai again, I saw that pair of narrow and mysterious eyes staring at Lu Xizhan, with an imperceptible shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and then collided with Qiao Yixia's eyes, and then the two looked away one after another .

After a while, there was a peeled prawn in Qiao Yixia's bowl. Qiao Yixia looked at Lu Xizhan, and just wanted to express her gratitude, but Lu Xizhan said first: "Give me the one in your bowl too, I will Come and peel it off for you, so I don’t need to touch your hands anymore.”

As soon as this remark came out, not only Helan Qiubai, but Lu's father, the lady, and even the little daughter looked at Lu Xizhan in disbelief. The child's words were innocent, and she was the only one who said, "My sister has never peeled a shrimp before. Me, sister, give me a treat, I want to eat your peeled shrimp too!"

Lucy had just finished peeling another shrimp, the little girl pouted and hung the plate in the air, as if she wanted Lucy to put the shrimp in her hand on her plate, but Lucy didn't look at her and put it directly on the plate. Qiao Yixia's bowl: "Xia, eat more, it tastes good."

Seeing the unhappy look on the little daughter's face, the lady immediately comforted her: "Okay Qianqian, don't bother your sister, mom will help you peel."

Although the girl was unhappy, she didn't dare to act like a spoiled child to Lucy, let alone get angry, and threw the plate on the table with some force, making a harsh sound.

After all, the girl is too young, 15 years old, just in the third year of junior high school, living a life of a princess held in the palm of her parents' palm by her parents. Girls at that age are easily blinded by too much pampering, thinking that they are It is the center of this world, and deserves everyone's love.But what she didn't know was that in front of Lucy, she didn't have the right to be self-righteous, or even speak loudly.

"Mom, why does my sister always ignore me? Is she really my sister? Why is she more like a stranger!"

Father Lu just wanted to speak, but He Lan Qiubai said first, "Qianqian, you can't be willful."

The girl named Qianqian pursed her mouth, and coquettishly called her sister-in-law at Helan Qiubai.Helan Qiubai still had such a gentle and gentle look, he smiled at her, as gentle and kind as he looked at his own sister.And that girl was also very obedient to Helan Qiubai, just such a brief sentence made the 15-year-old pampered girl quiet down.

After that, the lunch was very peaceful, no one spoke actively, and the expressions on their faces were unreadable. The short meal time seemed to be as long as a century.
