The mammoth lurking in the Alpha school

"That's why it's all fake to go on a date with Jiang Weiyi during the half-month of summer vacation." Lu Jingxing hastily brought the topic back, reminding his grandfather and cousin of lying: "You just met him during the physical examination. That's all, but he said it as if he wanted to pursue..."

"Stop talking!" Old Master Lu scolded, put his hands on his knees and stood up, frowned and said to Lu Xuesheng: "Talk to me upstairs."

Lu Jingxing was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to look at his grandfather, with a very aggrieved expression, like an orphan who was excluded by his grandfather and grandson.

However, old man Lu didn't look at him, and led Lu Xuesheng up to the attic.

The attic is a greenhouse, the entire sloping roof is made of sound-proof glass, and the connected walls are also floor-to-ceiling glass doors. You can see that the outside terrace is full of flowers and plants.

In the past, these flowers and plants were taken care of by grandma and the housekeeper, but now when grandpa is not messing around with models, he also goes upstairs to trim the flowers and plants.

Lu Xuesheng was very satisfied with this place of conversation. When he was a child, he also liked grandma taking him to spend time in this small garden in the sky.

After walking into this garden, grandpa became less unfamiliar, as if there was a grandma watching over him, and he became kind and patient with his grandson.

Grandpa went to the tool table and took the small scissors, started to trim the flowers and plants, and muttered to himself: "I don't know what to talk to you about except mechs, maybe you can also learn to grow some flowers and plants, like Like your grandma."

Lu Xuesheng casually walked over to his grandfather, raised his hand and poked the blue-purple freesia petals with his fingertips, and said bluntly, "I'm not interested in growing flowers, but I think it looks pretty."

When Grandpa pinched the branches and leaves to repair, his hands trembled a little. He was used to dealing with cold and hard machines, and he would appear clumsy when dealing with these fragile flowers and plants.

But he still worked very hard to avoid hurting his wife's precious flowers and plants. He frowned and said, "Azai, I have never doubted your talent and hard work in the mecha. I know you have done a good job."

Lu Xuesheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Thank you."

"But I still didn't expect you to do it so well..." Grandpa stopped pruning and turned to look at him.

"Thank you." Lu Xuesheng's expression was taken for granted.

Grandpa lowered his head and continued to repair the next plant: "But you misunderstood what I said before. I told you that physiological differences cannot be made up by hard work."

Lu Xuesheng raised his eyebrows and argued, "I think I've proved it now."

"So you misunderstood me!" Grandpa turned to stare at him, and explained irritably: "I mean... body differences, understand? Omegas will become very dependent on their partners when they get old, and mechas will no longer bring Give you pure happiness, your energy will be exhausted by your husband and children, and these will become the focus of your life, people can't resist instinct."

Lu Xuesheng wondered: "Did you forget that there is an omega like my mother? She is often so absorbed in a certain job that she forgets that she has a husband and children."

"So she is not a competent partner." Grandpa replied fiercely: "So people always feel sorry for your father, but they all envy me for having a wife like your grandma."

"Is the standard for people to measure whether an omega is successful or not?" Lu Xuesheng looked at his grandfather seriously: "Grandma said that she was a dancer when she was young, and she loved dancing very much."

"That was before dating me." Grandpa raised his chin and replied proudly: "Later she relied on me wholeheartedly."

"Really?" Lu Xuesheng raised his eyebrows and responded, "Grandma once told me secretly that every performance she used to have, you would look at her anxiously from the audience, and even because you heard an audience member in the back seat say something obscene. She jumped over the back of the chair and started fighting with the audience on the spot, she was fired from the theater because of that accident."

Grandpa defended ferociously: "Later, I found her a new theater with more formal facilities and more serious audiences. It was your grandma who wanted to quit her job and go home to take care of the family."

"It's not for taking care of the family, but for you." Lu Xuesheng told him calmly: "Grandma said that in order to let the elders accept her, you gave up your ideals after graduating from the military academy and came back to inherit the family business. She said that she was your only comfort at that time." , she doesn't want you to worry about her disappearing on the stage, worrying about the audience plotting against her, she feels that she has to sacrifice her ideals for you, so...she didn't give up her ideals because of her status as an omega, but for you."

Grandpa stood there stunned, and he hesitated for a while to explain: "She...she herself said that she didn't want to dance anymore, and she said that the old ankle injury hurts badly when it's cloudy..."

Lu Xuesheng continued: "Grandma also secretly told me that she was very envious of my mother. She said that she saw that every time my mother read scientific research magazines, she seemed to be in an empty world. There were only her and her loved ones in this world. Career, grandma said that she can only be immersed in the state of her mother when she is on stage, it is a kind of pride and satisfaction that cannot be described in words."

Grandpa lowered his hand holding the small scissors in a daze, and after a while, he asked nervously in a low voice: "Does she regret marrying me?"

Lu Xuesheng shook his head: "Grandma didn't say that, but she said that it would be nice if the man she loved wasn't so rough and childish. She said that she was very proud of raising a delicate and gentle character like my father, at least my mother didn't stay behind. Let her regret like that."

Tears flashed in Grandpa's cloudy eyes, he took a few steps back with trembling lips, and slowly sat in the wicker chair.

"The perfection in your eyes is not the perfect life that grandma expects." Lu Xuesheng looked down at his grandfather in the chair, and asked calmly: "If you do it all over again, do you hope that grandma will still be a good wife and mother in the eyes of everyone? To realize your ideals as you like, without leaving any regrets?"

long silence.

Grandpa looked up at him with a tired expression, and said in a low voice: "I will fully cooperate with any request from the school, as long as you can stay in Jingjia and complete your studies normally, study with peace of mind, Azai, Grandpa doesn't know how to become like you Your grandma is so sweet, but grandpa will try to learn."

"That's too difficult." Lu Xuesheng raised his eyebrows and complained: "Perhaps being annoying is a gene passed down from the Lu family ancestors. Being cute is the only skill I can't learn."

Old Master Lu grinned when he heard the words, looked at Lu Xuesheng, and sighed helplessly: "That's right...you're right, but luckily your dad's temper has followed your grandma's."

"Really?" Lu Xuesheng walked up to his grandfather with a tinge of expectation and sat down, turning his head and staring at him: "Then does grandpa like a father with a personality like grandma?"

Mr. Lu's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and he stopped talking.

Lu Xuesheng opened his mouth, unable to hold back his anticipation, raised his hand and grabbed the sleeve of his grandfather's shirt, and said in a low voice, "Dad and Mom don't know where they are going, it's too passive to rely on the police to track down their whereabouts, I think..."

Mr. Lu said displeasedly: "I will tell you when your parents disappeared, study at ease, I know how to do these things myself!"

Lu Xuesheng let go of his sleeve, drooped his eyes in silence for a long time, and said in a low voice, "How can you feel at ease, Grandpa? I have checked a lot of news about missing persons on the Internet, and I have never seen a case like my parents, and there is no such case. Enemy, and there is no kidnapper to extort the price, why did an ordinary couple disappear one after another? I always have nightmares. In the first half of the night, I dreamed that they went home together, and in the second half of the night, I dreamed that the police confirmed that they died accidentally. By tomorrow, I had already forced myself not to think about it, and told myself that they must be going to complete the secret mission, but I dreamed of them every night... How on earth did Grandpa manage to be indifferent? Can you tell me the technique?"

Mr. Lu lowered his head and murmured in a hoarse voice: "Indifference...indifference? Grandpa can only stop anxiety by fiddling with models in the daytime, Azai..." He turned his head slowly, throwing off his helmet and armor Showing the frail and helpless look of the old man, he choked up and said, "If grandpa is at a loss as if the sky is falling, don't you be frightened? You have to grow up with peace of mind, and I will definitely do everything possible to get back the boss and his wife. He is your grandma's favorite son, even if I exchange my old life, I have to exchange him back."

The warmth in Lu Xuesheng's eyes came back from the dead, and he suddenly got up and knelt beside his grandfather's legs, looking up at him eagerly: "Grandpa! The second uncle is transferring the company's assets, he..."

"I know all about it." Grandpa frowned and lowered his head, interrupted Lu Xuesheng's accusation, and said weakly: "After I handed over the company to your father, I accompanied your grandma to travel around. Not less involved, your grandma left early, I don't plan to stay in this world for too long, I don't have too much savings. I didn't know that something happened to your parents suddenly... I invite you both at home and abroad I asked my old friend to arrange the top investigation team to search for clues, and the capital chain could not be broken, so I simply sold all the shares in my hand. Now, I can't control your second uncle and your sister-in-law, but I can't let them know that I don't have enough funds , They thought that my shares were cashed out in order to completely let go of the company's affairs, and if they didn't care about my legacy, they would jump on the stage and fight each other."

Lu Xue was born with a bolt from the blue: "Sister-in-law... sister-in-law, she also..."

Grandpa shook his head sadly: "Your grandma has left, and the hearts of the Lu family have long since dispersed."

Lu Xuesheng curled his lips, holding back his grievances in his nasal cavity: "Then grandpa is still there? He just doesn't like me anymore."

Grandpa raised his rough hand, touched Ah Zai's head, and replied in a low voice: "Don't let Jing Xing see that Grandpa still loves you, otherwise your second uncle and Xiaoya will join forces to deal with you first. Grandpa is old, I'm afraid I can't protect you."

"Nonsense!" With tears streaming down his face, Lu Xuesheng hugged his grandfather's hand and said angrily, "Grandma said that grandpa is the strongest man in the world, and only grandpa can defeat her. Neither my second uncle nor my sister-in-law are opponents!"

Grandpa Lu took out a square handkerchief to wipe away his grandson's tears, and twisted his nose again: "Don't cry, just pretend to be taught a lesson by me when you go downstairs, don't let Jing Xing know what I said, and go back to school tomorrow .”

Lu Xuesheng took the handkerchief and wiped his face by himself, lest his clumsy grandpa would smear his nose all over his face: "Grandpa is also looking for things about mom and dad, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm under a lot of pressure by myself."

Grandpa looked disgusted: "You silly bastard has been straight since you were a child, and you can hide things on your face? I'm afraid that you will be like when you were a child, and you will follow my ass every day to ask me to see your drawings, and shake your nose like a slug. Don’t drop it, it’s unavoidable, from now on at home, it’s the same as it was a while ago, don’t talk to me and Jing Xing, do you understand?”

Lu Xuesheng nodded obediently.
