Lu Yubei's chin touched Xiaoqiao's hair, and a faint fragrance slipped through his nose.
Although it was just for an instant, Lu Yubei could still remember that aroma. Carrying a bit of the fragrance of the Gardenia Flower, and with it lingering on the tip of his nose, smelled it very comfortably.
Its head continued to head downwards, just as Lu Yubei's head was about to reach Xiaoqiao's eyes.
Suddenly … Dingdong. The elevator arrived.
Lu Yubei reacted in an instant, he straightened his body and the people in the elevator quickly left.
After the others left, there were only two people left in the elevator, which instantly became empty. On the other hand, Lu Yubei's hands were still wrapped around Xiaoqiao.
"Big Brother Lu …" Xiaoqiao raised her head and called out softly.
"Yes, the elevator has arrived." Lu Yubei replied, his voice was as calm as the wind, he did not panic in the slightest.
"Then we'll go out first." As he said that, Lu Yubei's hands that were supporting on the two sides of the elevator slowly moved down, moving his feet to make a path for Xiaoqiao.
After exiting the elevator, Xiaoqiao spoke first, "Big Brother Lu, I really have to thank you inside the elevator earlier. I really will be very ashamed. "
"Why?" Lu Yubei did not understand.
In his opinion, being squeezed into the corner of the elevator was nothing to be ashamed of.
Xiaoqiao saw the puzzlement in Lu Yubei's eyes and explained with a chuckle: "It's not because I'm crowded but because I'm … Too many people had just flooded into the elevator, making me feel like the air was clogging up, like... In the small dark room that I stayed in countless times when I was young, the past shadows gradually became clearer in my mind. "
"Big Brother Lu, do you know? Luckily, you rushed to my side, otherwise … I might actually shake and faint. "
When Xiaoqiao said this, her heart was also strongly implicated.
She always had a way to make his heart feel pity for her, to feel pain for her, to feel pain for her.
Some love started from a deep desire to protect. Lu Yubei thought that this was his original intention towards Xiaoqiao, to properly protect her and prevent his from being bullied by others.
He wanted to see her smile. He wanted to make her happy. He wanted to let her live a carefree life.
And these emotions, in the fermentation of time, became deeper and deeper, more and more unstoppable.
Until he had truly taken this lively and adorable girl into his heart, firmly placed her within it, and properly kept her within it.
"Is the reason for this related to my childhood?" Lu Yubei asked softly, using the gentlest tone possible to speak.
Xiaoqiao nodded: "I guess so. I often spend the night in the dark room. I get scared as time goes by; in fact... Compared to the darkness in the room, I'm more afraid of the feeling of suffocation that comes from that small space. I don't have any freedom to escape, no matter how I think about it, I can't escape.
"Why aren't you afraid of the dark?" Lu Yubei asked.
"Darkness …" Xiaoqiao softly spat out these words, "It's because I know that the darkness will definitely break after dawn, and there will definitely be sunlight after dawn. I believe … As long as the sun rises, it will drive away all the darkness and cold. "
Facing such a strong and optimistic Xiaoqiao who was bravely living under the sunlight, Lu Yubei's heart was once again softly struck.
He struggled to come to life from the darkest of hellswamps. He wandered around the Gates of Hell again and again, but fortunately … Even Yama didn't accept him, so … He was a tenacious person who came back from the dead, and with his skills and achievements, he stood at his current position.
The darkness of the past, how dirty was it, how cold-blooded and cruel was it? It was a past he was unwilling to talk about.
He had to admit that Xiaoqiao was stronger, kinder, and more beautiful than him; After everything that had been the most unfriendly thing in the world, she was still strong, optimistic, and smiling.
She did not complain, nor did she seek revenge?
She was working hard, tenacious, and did not let down every minute of her life. She allowed herself to live a wonderful life, live a wonderful life.
She longed for warmth, for beauty, for love and for love...
And this kind of Xiaoqiao, was someone Lu Yubei couldn't refuse in his heart. She, had moved his heart, and also allowed him to find a portion of hope and salvation.
Lu Yubei knew that Xiaoqiao's heart was weak and sensitive …
Qin Muhan was the best person to verify.
"Qin Muhan, don't care... What role did you play in Xiaoqiao's youth, and how important your position was? Since you have given up on Xiaoqiao, I will never give you a second chance. "
"In the future, Xiaoqiao will have me. I don't need any man by her side anymore."
It was sufficient as long as he was here.
Lu Yubei reached out his hand, took control of the long arm, and easily pulled Xiaoqiao into his embrace.
"Xiaoqiao, don't move, let me hug you, I want to hug you." Before Xiaoqiao could speak, Lu Yubei's gentle voice brought a thin layer of Qi that sprayed next to Xiaoqiao's ears.
The voice of the Big Brother Lu was so soft, so soft, and even carried a trace of exhaustion.
Xiaoqiao could not bear to let go of Lu Yubei. She stretched out his hand and stopped it in midair, unable to bear to push Lu Yubei away.
"Xiaoqiao, actually... I had a bad childhood, too, and it was terrible, but you know what? I am ashamed now. " Lu Yubei said.
"Why?"
"Because I'm a boy and you're a girl, and I'm actually not as brave as you in my childhood. Xiaoqiao … You're the strongest, most optimistic girl I've ever met, so... You deserve happiness and the best people to take care of you all your life. "
"And I, am striving to become the best, most unique, and irreplaceable man in your life." Of course, Lu Yubei only kept these last words in his heart and did not reveal them.
After leaving the hospital, the two of them got into the car. Lu Yubei instructed them: "Go to the food street."
"Eh?" Big Brother Lu, you … Do you want to go to the snack bar? " Xiaoqiao turned and looked at Lu Yubei. His eyes were wide open, obviously exceptionally shocked.
"Why?" Lu Yubei raised his eyebrows, "Can't I go?"
"Of course you can, but it's very unexpected …" Last time, Han Leng told me after we finished eating the hotpot. " Xiaoqiao said.
"What did Han Leng tell you?"
"He said that you actually don't like eating hotpot in Big Brother Lu. Because after eating it, you would be covered with a thick smell of hotpot; so … "I'm surprised, you actually came to the food street. The smell here is even stronger, after having eaten a round, you might be filled with the smell of snacks, can you accept that?" Xiaoqiao was willing to die for him to say it.
Lu Yubei smiled, his beautiful lips only able to spit out a few words: "But you like to eat!"
Ah!
Therefore, Big Brother Lu meant … Was it because she liked him that he wanted to come?
Was the reason why the Big Brother Lu had allowed Master to drive here to eat, all for her?
"You took care of Xin, so Xin got rid of me to take care of your dinner. Tell me … As an elder brother, I can't let my sister's best friend go home hungry! " Lu Yubei smiled.
Xiaoqiao nodded, that was a principle.
However … no need to come here personally for her sake of Big Brother Lu!
"As long as you eat happily, that's good. Xin said that you come here often, that's perfect … "You should recommend a few snacks that taste good."
"Alright then, Big Brother Lu, I promise you that you will be satisfied. There are a few dishes that I eat frequently and the taste is especially good. I will bring you there." Speaking of food, Xiaoqiao was immediately interested.
"Alright, lead the way." Lu Yubei nodded.
"Sure, but …" Big Brother Lu, the road here is very narrow, we can't get into the four-wheel drive, we need to get out and walk. " Xiaoqiao hurriedly explained.
"Alright, then let's go down." Lu Yubei was very straightforward.
After getting off the carriage, Xiaoqiao successfully brought Lu Yubei to the usual shop and ordered his favorite snacks.
"Boss, a serving is good as well, thank you." After Xiaoqiao finished ordering the dishes, she handed the menu over and smiled.
"Will one be enough to eat?" Lu Yubei asked.
In fact, what someone wanted to ask was: Why did the two of them only order one serving?
"Enough, one serving is enough. If you can't finish, you'll be wasted." Xiaoqiao said.
Lu Yubei:... Fine!
But in the next moment, Han Leng walked in with an exquisite bag, and called out respectfully: "President Lu …."
"Why are you here?" Lu Yubei was puzzled, he did not remember him calling for Han Leng today.
Xiaoqiao immediately took the bag from Han Leng's hands and said happily: "I sent a message to Big Brother Han Leng, asking him to bring you dinner."
With that, Xiaoqiao quickly placed the dishes in the bag in front of Lu Yubei.
"Big Brother Lu, just eat this!" Xiaoqiao said considerately.
At this point, Lu Yubei finally understood why he had only ordered a portion just now. Xiaoqiao did not order his portion.
He was actually thinking too much!
This feeling was truly exciting and unpleasant.
"Yan Xiaoqiao..." Lu Yubei solemnly and seriously called out her name: "Now, I need you to seriously tell me why you're cooking for me so that I can eat alone."
Xiaoqiao laughed embarrassedly: "Don't be angry Big Brother Lu, I was just thinking for you."
"In novels, the president of a noble family would always accompany the ladies to eat roadside snacks in order to accommodate the female lead. However, in the end, almost all of them lead to a bad stomach. I don't want your stomach to feel uncomfortable for a while."
After listening to Xiaoqiao's explanation, the expression on Lu Yubei's face eased up a little.
"Take all these down." Lu Yubei said coldly.
Han Leng: "President Lu, I think what Miss Yan said is reasonable."
Lu Yubei shot a cold glance at Han Leng, and asked in an indifferent voice: "Reasonable?"
Han Leng nodded.
"Well, sit here and eat all this."
After saying that, Lu Yubei stood up and pulled Xiaoqiao to another table.
Han Leng felt bitter in his heart, he had offended someone, he was truly innocent!
After reaching another table, Lu Yubei picked up the menu, and straightforwardly ordered the exact same as Xiaoqiao.
"Big Brother Lu, you really want to eat the same as me!" Xiaoqiao asked uncertainly.
"Aren't you afraid of getting a stomach upset?" Xiaoqiao asked again.
Lu Yubei frowned: "Didn't you say you wanted to introduce me to some classic snacks? If I don't taste it, how would I know how it tastes? "
"Besides? "In your impression, I was being hypocritical?" Lu Yubei asked with sharp eyes.
