grey alley

Xue Lan has rarely been home since that day.

She and Lu Guanqing had a big quarrel and had a cold war until now, and there was no way to contact Xuesong again, and she didn't have any good friends in normal times, so she had nowhere to go.

It's like being abandoned by the whole world.

Xue Lan ordered a cup of coffee in the cafe and sat for the whole morning without doing anything. She just sat on the seat in a daze, and she fell on the table and cried.

Her temperament is too weak, and she is a symbol of bullying in the eyes of others, so Xuesong has always stood in front of her like a hen protecting her calf since she was a child, and blocked many malicious people for her, but now Xue Song didn't want to care about her anymore, so she felt that the people around her seemed to be far away from her, and it seemed that there was no one she could rely on.

Crying to the point where she was sad, the phone rang suddenly, she looked at it with sobs, and the screen showed that it was Lu Guanqing's call.

She didn't answer the call right away after waiting for so long, but she was very wronged. She also lost her temper, so she didn't answer it at all. She just continued to cry. After crying, she sniffed her nose and wiped away her tears. He took out the small mirror to touch up his makeup, and Lu Guanqing's call was displayed again.

Throughout the morning, more than 20 people came back and forth. She didn't pick up one of them. She put on makeup to hide the haggard look on her face. She pushed away the cold coffee and was about to go out when Lu Guanqing hurried in from the outside. There is thin sweat on the forehead.

"Finally found you, Alan, so you are here." Lu Guanqing was sweating profusely. He hurried to the store after hearing the news from his friend, and came to coax her before he even had time to wipe off the sweat. "Last night It's my fault, I shouldn't be so fierce to you, let's go back, shall we?"

Xue Lan pursed her lips and pushed him away, and saw that Lu Guanqing continued to lean towards him without giving up, coaxing him all the way. The two left the cafe and dragged to the back street.

On the opposite side of the street near the cafe, two women wearing inkspots witnessed the whole process, and the taller one asked, "How long do you think it will take for them to reconcile?"

Bai Sisi pushed the sunglasses, "It doesn't look like it will be long," she looked at Xue Lan's face from a distance, scrutinized her face, and concluded, "Because she looks too innocent to be deceived."

Liao Xuefang snorted lightly, "It really is."

"What about you?" Bai Sisi looked at her, "You broke up with Guan Wenjie?"

"It's been a long time ago," Liao Xuefang laughed coldly when mentioning the person she didn't want to see, "He flirted with others behind my back, gave me a cuckold, and refused to admit it when he was found out. Keep it for the New Year?"

Bai Sisi took off his sunglasses, "Doesn't he like you very much? He chased you for so long before, and he still pretended to be pure and upright. You really can't be judged by appearances."

"Who wants such a half-hearted liking?" Liao Xuefang also took off her sunglasses, revealing a glamorous face, her eyes were slightly raised, and she didn't look easy to get along with, "Dogs hate it."

On the day of the breakup, it was at the party organized by Lin Mizhi. Later, Guan Wenjie came to pester him several times, but she slapped him away.

She has always had a clear distinction between love and hate, but this man has no advantages, only his face and figure are good-looking. If it weren't for the appearance he put on at the beginning, she would not be with such a man.

After all, Liao Xuefang didn't like his group of friends very much, especially Lu Guanqing.

Even the way this man smiled was hypocritical, she couldn't bear it.

It can only be said that it is not that one family does not enter one family, and this group of people can be regarded as like flocking together, and people are divided into groups.

"Then why don't you go and remind that beautiful sister?" In order not to be fooled by others, she would give money to the count foolishly.

Liao Xuefang stared at their backs as they disappeared into the street corner for a long time, and sneered for a while: "I don't know her very well."

After finishing his day's work, Lu Mingzhou took off his glasses, reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose.

In recent years, the family has been preparing to gradually transfer the center of business to him, so he is not just in charge of a branch on the surface, he is much busier than in previous years.Although the content and difficulty are more onerous than before, he simply got started quickly, and now he can do it with ease.

Driving home after work, Pei Xiqing was the only one in the villa.

The housekeeper asked for leave to go home to see his daughter. Seeing him coming back, Pei Xiqing took out a mango hug from the refrigerator, "Try it, uncle," he opened the box, "I have nothing to do these days when I have nothing to do. Butlers learned." This is the only one that does it successfully.

Lu Mingzhou took a sip of tea, grabbed his hand, looked at it for a moment, "Cut?"

Pei Xiqing shrank his hand, but was caught and couldn't take it back, "Peeling the mango is too hard." He himself felt embarrassed to do such a thing, "Just... no Carefully stroke it."

The hemostatic patch oozes blood, Lu Mingzhou peels off the hemostatic patch, revealing the incision underneath which has been suffocated all day and the edges have turned white.

a little deep.

"Is there no medicine?"

"I didn't find the medicine box." It took so long for the butler to go back to see his daughter one day off, and he was too embarrassed to disturb him, so he just covered it with the hemostatic sticker.

Lu Mingzhou went to dig out the medicine box at home, took out a cotton swab and dipped it in iodine, frowned and gently moved around his wound, the force was very clever, and did not cause any pain.

"Be careful next time," Lu Mingzhou put the medicine box under the coffee table in the living room after taking the medicine, "I put the medicine box here, and you can come here to look for it next time you need it."

After re-wrapping Pei Xiqing's wound with a hemostatic patch, he turned his gaze to the mango hug on the table.

Looks like the kind of dessert a little girl would love.

He took a sip, unexpectedly found it to be good, and quickly finished a dessert, while Pei Xiqing propped his chin up and looked at him, "Uncle, there's still a bit of it on the corner of your lips."

Lu Mingzhou wiped it with a paper towel, and heard Pei Xiqing smile and say to him: "How is it, is it okay?"

Boss Lu, who still had a bit of cream on his lips that hadn't been wiped off, didn't know it, and nodded reservedly, feeling that the exhaustion from working all day had disappeared a lot after returning home.

Pei Xiqing didn't tell him, and leaned out her upper body to kiss the corner of his lips, licking off the cream silently, "I'm tired from work today, I won't go out, I'll make you what you want to eat," Pei Xiqing said. Tie Qingsong loosened his tie, leaned closer like a virtuous wife of the Gu family and said, "Go to bed early, uncle sees that you have a little fine lines in the corners of your eyes recently."

His approach brought a faint fragrance, which Lu Mingzhou smelled was the shower gel in the bathroom upstairs.

This shower gel is shared between two people.

...Lu Mingzhou took a sip of tea, but the sweet taste of cake still remained in his mouth.

His throat moved slightly, and his eyes looked from the water glass on the table all the way to Pei Xiqing.

The other party was wearing a dark green top today, which made his skin very fair. The slightly long bangs on his forehead were pinched by a carrot hairpin he found somewhere, revealing his white and smooth forehead.

Cards are cute.Lu Mingzhou smiled slightly, changed his posture, raised Erlang's legs, and sat on the chair without moving.

Fortunately, there was a table covering it, so Pei Xiqing didn't notice anything. He washed all the cups and bowls, put on an apron and turned around to ask him, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"It's okay, I'll eat whatever you do."

Pei Xiqing thought for a while, "How about the baked rice?"

Lu Mingzhou nodded, "Yes."

During this period, he poured a lot of tea into his stomach, and finally poured out the evil fire, and ran to the kitchen to watch Pei Xiqing handle the seafood.

"Is it taught by the housekeeper?"

"Yes," Pei Xiqing chopped up the legs of the little octopus, and said, "When the housekeeper sees that I have nothing to do, he will ask me if I want to learn how to cook." When it's over, he probably doesn't have anything else to do."

Lu Mingzhou was thoughtful, "Did the housekeeper plant flowers in the small garden?"

"Yes, I planted roses, but I don't know if they can grow."

After the baked rice was cooked, it was mixed with the aroma of cheese and the umami taste of seafood. It was quite successful. Lu Mingzhou became interested in the rare western food, so he finished the baked rice.

Pei Xiqing was very happy.

After eating and drinking, he returned to his room to take a shower. Pei Xiqing sat on the bay window and watched his mobile phone. There was a small desk on it, cushioned and soft pillows. He especially liked this place.

After Lu Mingzhou came out of the shower, he saw him curled up there motionless, and when he hugged him, he saw the unfolded interface on his phone.

"Your brother is looking for you again?"

Surrounded by the warm body temperature, Pei Xiqing half-closed his eyes, obviously feeling very comfortable: "If there is anything to do, I will look for it every few days. Maybe the pressure in the third year of high school is too great."

Lu Mingzhou had no intention of peeking at the conversation between him and his younger brother, but when he accidentally glanced at the chat records above, he still hesitated, "Your younger brother...does it seem that he is too dependent on you?"

Pei Xiqing's expression didn't change much, "Maybe."

"Tell him you're out of their house once and for all?"

"I didn't say anything, and neither did Second Uncle. Judging by his appearance, he probably doesn't know yet."

"Then when will you let him know?"

"I won't tell him," Pei Xiqing burrowed into his arms, "If we say when he will know, it should depend on Second Uncle, but Second Uncle will probably not mention it to him until after he takes the college entrance examination." Bar."

Lu Mingzhou rubbed his hair: "Why don't you tell him yourself?"

Pei Xiqing closed her eyes for a while, thought of something, put down the phone: "...It's just that I don't want to."

He was always alone when he came and went, so why bother to say goodbye to others to be considerate.

What's more, it wasn't his home, at best he was just a former tenant there.When the tenant leaves, does he still need to say goodbye to the owner's son?

Lu Mingzhou didn't continue to ask, but kissed his forehead, "Are you asleep?"

Pei Xiqing buried her head in his arms, took a deep breath, then raised her glass-clear eyes, which looked like a pair of washed gemstones under the lamp, with Lu Mingzhou's reflection reflected in them moistly: "I don't want to sleep."

"Uncle, I want you."
