When the summer solstice comes, the weather starts to get hotter. The cicadas lying on the trees know how to sing non-stop. They have been singing since the sun just came out, and they can be heard clearly through the window.

Lu Ming sat in the dining area and had breakfast. The central air conditioner kept the temperature in the room at a suitable 28 degrees. It was just right for him to wear only a cool skirt.

Today's breakfast is similar to usual, it is still bear chocolate sauce bread and half a cup of milk.

Lu Ming looked at the little bear in front of him who had been seeing him for many days, and secretly pursed his lips.Aunt Wang has been a little absent-minded in her work recently. She used to draw patterns of rabbits, kittens, and dogs with various flavors on the bread, but now she didn't notice that it was a bear for several days.

Lu Ming looked at this little bear, she was really tired of seeing it.

"Aunt Wang, I really don't want to leave. Can you please intercede with the miss for me? I won't dare next time."

At this moment, Lu Ming heard a woman's crying voice coming from the kitchen on one side.

Aunt Wang: "It's not that I didn't intercede for you. You also know what you did this morning. This is the rule of this family. It's fine if you don't get discovered by the lady on weekdays. Today you hit the muzzle firmly. I can't help it either."

Lu Ming bit the slice of bread in small mouthfuls, and sent in all these conversations with his keen ears.

If you heard it, act like you didn't hear it.Just like when he was at Lu's house, Lu Ming silently lowered his head and continued to eat his own bread.

"Miss Xiaolu! You must be able to speak in front of the lady! Help me tell the lady, don't fire me, please, the man in the family is a gambler, and there is a three-year-old son to raise!"

Although Lu Ming wanted to stay away from the vortex of right and wrong, the vortex rushed towards her.

The woman who was pleading with Aunt Wang in the kitchen had red eyes and grabbed Lu Ming's shoulder.

Lu Ming was quite frightened by this sudden woman, and the slice of bread in his hand fell to the ground.

Still the side with the chocolate sauce.

Aunt Wang hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the woman away from Lu Ming, and said angrily, "You really have no rules! Miss Xiaolu is also something you can grab at will! You pack up and leave! Otherwise, don't blame me for even the last sliver of affection. None left for you!"

"Miss Xiaolu..." The woman wanted to say something, but when she saw Aunt Wang's glaring eyes, all she could do was choke with grievance.

Every whimper of the woman was desolate, and Lu Ming felt more sympathetic.

But her tightly closed mouth never opened her mouth to agree to the woman's request.

All Lu Ming can do is sympathize with women.

She is not from the Xi family and cannot be the head of the Xi family.

The farce rushed in and out like waves crashing onto the beach, leaving only a shattered slice of bread on the floor.

In the next second, Aunt Wang bent down and threw it into the trash can, and wiped off its traces on the ground.

"It's okay, she was sent away because she did something wrong." Aunt Wang comforted her, and put a new slice of bread coated with chocolate sauce in front of Lu Ming.

Lu Ming nodded, seeing that he and Aunt Wang were the only ones in the dining area, he boldly asked, "Then what did she do wrong?"

Aunt Wang: "She went to the third floor."

Aunt Wang's words were to the point, which just echoed Lu Ming's advice to her on the first day of her arrival.

Lu Ming nodded, remembering this matter in his heart again.

"This family is really getting more and more intolerable." Aunt Wang sighed, as if slightly dissatisfied with Xi Wang.

Lu Ming was always very sensitive to this kind of tone. He raised his head and looked at Aunt Wang in puzzlement. He didn't understand why she expressed such emotion. Was it just because she drove away a servant who had done something wrong?

Aunt Wang noticed Lu Ming's gaze, realized that she had said it before, and changed the subject: "I'll go and change another piece for Miss Xiaolu, wait a moment."

Lu Ming looked at the chocolate sauce that Aunt Wang took out from the refrigerator, licked his lips, and asked in a low voice, "Aunt Wang, can you change me to a strawberry bear?"

Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, she looked at the chocolate sauce in her hand and reacted quickly, she nodded quickly and said, "I've been confused these days, I'm sorry, Miss Xiaolu. Strawberry Bear, right, I'll make it right away."

The corners of Lu Ming's mouth curled up, feeling a little happier.

In fact, it is not that difficult to put forward your own reasonable demands.

"Da da da……"

The sound of high heels hitting the floor came from the stairwell not far away, and Lu Ming knew that Xi Wang was going out as usual.

The little girl shook the cup in her hand, her palms were warm and full of moisture, her eyes looked expectantly and restrainedly at the corridor.

The bright light shone on Xi Wang's body, the pure white satin shone with a cool light, every button on the shirt was tightly buttoned, and the state of abstinence was ready to emerge.

"Aunt Xi, good morning." Lu Ming's voice was small, and he rarely took the initiative to say hello to Xi Wang.

Xi Wang still lowered his eyes, as if he didn't hear the faint voice.

Lu Ming was used to being neglected by others, so she didn't feel sad because of Xi Wang's neglect, only a little frustration was quickly digested by her.She sat quietly in her seat, watching Xi Wang leave as usual.

However, in the next second, a slender figure was reflected on Lu Ming's body.

When Xi Wang passed by Lu Ming, he stopped.

Lu Ming slightly raised his head in trepidation, but found that Xi Wang's eyes fell on himself.

Her expression was indifferent, and she couldn't be peeped out at all.

Under such sight, Lu Ming felt like his heart was going to explode.

It's just that Lu Ming never imagined why Xi Wang suddenly stopped by his side.

——This kid actually took the initiative to say hello to himself?

Xi Wang looked at Lu Ming, who was a head shorter than him, and could see fear in her eyes without any effort.

You obviously had the guts to say hello to yourself just now, but now you are afraid of yourself?

There seemed to be a smile on the corner of Xi Wang's mouth, he looked at the little girl for a while, and then slowly said: "Morning."

Lu Ming's eyes lit up suddenly, she never thought that she would get a response from Xi Wang, her clear eyes were like a galaxy full of stars, bright and brilliant.

Xi Wang took the star-filled galaxy into his eyes, and left without saying anything to Lu Ming.

The sun was gradually setting, and the room was covered with a layer of bright or dark light. Lu Ming was a little tired from looking at it, and then realized that it was getting late.

She put the half-read book in her hand on the table, and looked out the window. The sun was shining, and the shadow of the camphor tree blown by the wind gave the whole manor a hazy beauty.

It's already evening, normally Aunt Wang should call me for dinner, why didn't she call me today?

Lu Ming glanced at his watch, feeling suspicious, closed the book, and walked out of the room.

Going down to the first floor, a young servant was serving dishes at the dining table. When she saw Lu Ming approaching, she hurriedly asked, "Miss Xiaolu, are you hungry?"

Lu Ming shook his head, "Where's Aunt Wang?"

"Aunt Wang has asked for leave. There are a lot of things going on in her family recently, so she always asks for leave." The maid replied, "Aunt Wang asked me to stay with Miss."

Yes, Aunt Wang has asked for leave more and more frequently recently.

Lu Ming thought so, and sat down at the dining table.

She was not familiar with this maid, and the two shadows who were far away fell on the ground, and the dining area was quiet and lonely.

However, Lu Ming gradually discovered that this maid seemed to be more careful than Aunt Wang. Just now, when he saw that he liked to eat the white-cut chicken that was far away, he brought it for him calmly, but now he finds that he hates it. After eating coriander, I silently picked it out for myself.

Lu Ming looked at what the maid had done for him, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Thank you, I'll just do it myself."

The maid smiled embarrassedly, "It's nothing, I was originally sent by Aunt Wang to serve Miss Xiaolu, this is what Miss Xiaolu should enjoy."

When Lu Ming heard the maid's words, he found his place in her words.

Few people respected his "Miss" status so much, Lu Ming raised his head and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Li Yan." Li Yan replied.

Lu Ming imitated Xi Wang and nodded to her. She thought that if Li Yan wanted to, she could be transferred to her side.She heard from Aunt Wang that the salary of the servants who follow her is only lower than that of Xi Wang, and it is one of the few "good places" in the family.

Just as Lu Ming was about to talk to her, he heard the sound of opening the door from the quiet entrance in the distance.

For some reason, Lu Ming swallowed the words on his lips, and subconsciously looked over there.

The white silk shirt came into Lu Ming's sight first, and then the long black hair that was a bit messy.

The woman's back was straight, and she didn't let go of her strength at all, but Lu Ming felt that she was walking unsteadily from a distance.

The faint smell of alcohol floated from a distance, and no one in this house dared to come back with the smell of alcohol except Xi Wang.

Xi Wang came back, and came back after drinking some wine.

Seeing this, Lu Ming hurried over and asked, "Aunt Xu, what's wrong with Aunt Xi?"

Before Lu Ming approached, Aunt Xu greeted her: "Miss, I've had some wine, I'm fine. Don't worry, Miss Xiaolu, go back and eat."

Although Aunt Xu said so, she didn't show it like that.

She followed behind Xi Wang, watching her nervously, saying these words just to reassure Lu Ming.

But seeing Xi Wang like this, how can Lu Ming feel at ease?

Lu Ming was not obedient for the first time, but raised his feet and continued to walk forward, wanting to go over and support Xi Wang.

But the next second she remembered that Xi Wang didn't like people touching her, otherwise Aunt Xu wouldn't have followed her closely instead of stepping forward to help her.

However, just as Lu Ming's arm dangling in the air was about to be put down, Xi Wang's lowered eyes locked on her body.

The pitch-black eyes seemed to see through the little girl in front of him, so Lu Ming's arms stiffened a bit.

She thought that Aunt Xi must have guessed what she was going to do and got angry.

But in the next second, Xi Wangwang put his arm on Luming's shoulder, and half of him leaned on the thin carrot head.

His deep eyes gave Lu Ming a lazy yet elegant look, and said, "Help me."
