Chapter 21：

After that sentence, there was a moment of silence.

Lu Nian asked in a low voice, "So, do you have a familiar hotel near here?"

Qin Si replied stiffly, "No."

Lu Nian casually said, "Oh, I thought you would go often."

After all, Qin Si has been away from the Lu family for several years. He lives by himself and often does various part-time jobs during holidays. She has always remembered him as a person with rich social experience.

In the night, the boy's expression cannot be seen clearly, "..."

He said coldly, "I don't go to the hotel often."

"You want to find it by yourself."

Lu Nian, "..." I don't know where to provoke him, but, sure enough, the Qin Si she was familiar with was back again.

The two of them walked all the way to the attic where Qin Si used to live.

The three of the Xu family may have already fallen asleep. The room was dark. Lu Nian was surprised to see Qin Si took out a key and quickly opened the door.

"I thought you threw it away..." Afraid of waking the three of the Xu family, Lu Nian followed him secretly and asked angrily.

It was dark, the girls were very close, and the breath was like feathers, so soft, blowing behind his ears.

The young man only felt that the blood from his whole body was pouring behind his ears, he pressed his lips tightly, pulled away from Lu Nian, and did not answer her.

Lu Nian, "..."

Forget it, knowing that Qin Si talks a little, she only needs to know where he is, not necessarily asking him to answer anything.

Lu Nian followed him upstairs and finally reached the attic.

Qin Si opened the door, as if it was reopened after a long time in the dust. When he was a little boy, the attic where he lived for so long is now covered with dust and the lights are dim. You can vaguely see the cobwebs in the corners. .

With his current height, he already needs to bend over to enter that door.

Qin Si didn't let her in, "You are waiting outside."

Lu Nian looked at him eagerly.

To be honest, she was a little scared, standing alone in such a dark place, not to mention that she was so courageous tonight that she was simply embarrassing.

Qin Si noticed. He was silent for a while, and said stiffly, "I'll be out soon."

"One minute?"

Qin Si, "..."

"five minutes."

"Yeah." Lu Nian pitifully, "then don't lie to me, I will time you."

The boy was silent, opened the door and walked in.

Lu Nian waited boringly outside. It didn't take five minutes before Qin Si had come out.

Lu Nian couldn't see what he had taken, he could only judge that it might be a small thing and put it in his pocket.

But she didn't plan to ask, and if Qin Si asked, she wouldn't tell her.

She is only concerned about one other thing now, that is, if Qin Si is about to leave when she finishes taking her things.

It’s almost eleven o’clock. The main house in the manor is gone. Leaving Xu’s small building, standing under the eaves and looking out, the Lu family’s house on the opposite side becomes more and more fascinating, like a beast dormant in the dark. , Only her room, still showing a faint light.

Like an eye in the darkness, immortal, staring at her day and night.

Lu Nian shrank, and unconsciously moved closer to Qin Si's direction. The teenager noticed.

After a while of silence.

He finally asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The girl looked down at her toes and whispered, "...I, before going to bed at night, I accidentally watched an episode of a ghost movie. It was about a girl about my age who met from the closet in my room. The ghost that came out was so scared."

There was something obviously wrong with her.

Qin Si, "..." He didn't expose this clumsy lie, and his black eyes looked at her quietly.

"So living alone in the room is a little scary." Lu Nian whispered, "I want someone to be with me."

Although she had no choice but to lie before, but this part was completely true.

"Qin Si, where do you live now?" Lu Nian asked, "Is the place big?"

When the two stood together under the eaves, Lu Nian could almost feel the warmth radiating from him, making her shivering and shivering extremely want to get closer.

She was still a little unwilling to give up, and her words were full of hints.

Qin Si said indifferently, "...Don't think about it."

The house has not been completed yet. He still lives with Ming Ge. There are only three rooms, one for him, and Ming Ge and two bartenders, both of whom are rough men.

He doesn't have new sheets or quilts, and...only one bed in the room.

Now... there is no way to take her back.

Lu Nian lowered his head, "You are so stingy."

She muttered, "But I'm not an adult yet, so I can't get a room in the hotel."

Qin Si was silent for a moment, "It can be reached."

"what?"

Qin Si looked away, "...hotel room."

Lu Nian blinked, and the first reaction turned out to be belly-slander. Didn't he say that he didn't understand it.

But she just said casually, she didn't expect Qin Si to answer that way.

His tone did not seem to be joking.

Lu Nian was really a little bit tempted, and wanted to just follow him.

The rain became heavier, and a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the side of the young man Qingjun beside him, and at the same time, illuminating the opposite, towering land house in the dark.

Lu Nian's brain blew, and suddenly he came to his senses.

If you want to go out to stay in a hotel, even if money is not a problem, even if Qin Si can help her get the room.

She shuddered now thinking of the Lu family.

At the moment, she just sneaked out for a short time. If the time is short, Zhang Qiuping will definitely find out that if she doesn’t return all night, she will definitely report it to Lu Zhihong, and then send everyone up and down in the family. Catch her back together.

Maybe it will bring trouble to Qin Si.

She has no choice, at least still has no way to leave the Lu family.

Lu Nian said, "Thank you."

The heat of the teenager's body slowly dropped, and he said, "Whatever you want."

Lu Nian suddenly felt very guilty and asked him to help to this point. In the end, she regretted it again, but Lu Nian couldn't tell him exactly why.

She was extremely irritable and anxious, with so many words in her heart, she didn't know how to start.

After struggling with everything, Lu Nian finally spoke, "Actually, the day before yesterday, Zhao Yayuan told me about one thing..."

She thought that if she really wanted to figure out what was going on, it might be very difficult to start from the Lu family. Another way is to find Zhao Yayuan, but she doesn't know if he wants to say it or not.

Moreover, Lu Nian himself was not ready to know the truth about this matter.

She is now very worried, not knowing what to do, like a boat lost in the wind and rain, she has no one to tell, and no one to accompany, so lonely.

"Zhao Yayuan?"

Lu Nian nodded, "Listen to Brother Yuan's brother."

She suddenly thought that Qin Si might not know Zhao Yayuan.

She hadn't figured out those things at all by herself.

If you tell Qin Si, he might also cause trouble, after all, his identity is sensitive.

She was actually a little afraid of Lu Zhihong, and even more afraid of what he would do to Qin Si.

The boy was silent, and Lu Nian didn't realize his change. She was anxious and could only keep silent again.

As time passed, neither of them spoke, but only heard the ticking sound of raindrops.

After a long time, Qin Si said, "I'm leaving."

Lu Nian was wrapped in a large coat, standing in the rain, watching him leave with eyesight.

In the rainy night of early autumn, when she lacked blood, her hands and feet were extremely cold. Although she was wrapped in thick clothes, she still couldn't resist the cold. How could it be as warm as the actual human body temperature.

She just felt extremely lonely.

Suddenly...

I really want to be hug her.

But there was only Qin Si in front of her... In fact, she could do it with reluctance.

She felt that if Qin Si was willing to be a little gentle, and then hug her, it would definitely feel good.

However, the cold reality is... he doesn't want her to touch the corners of his clothes.

However, when he said that he was going to leave, he didn't leave either. He just stood on the spot, not too far away from her.

Looking from the side, the young man’s nose is high, and his eyebrows are always cold, and the coolness of the rain seems to be particularly serious.

Standing so far away, I can't see through or touch.

Lu Nian knotted his hands together, still looking at his toes, "...Well, it's so late, you go back early and be safe on the road."

In fact, she didn't want him to leave at all, but when her reason came back, she couldn't wilfully ask him to stay with her and stand in the rain all night.

Qin Si seemed to nod his head, and didn't seem to say anything.

She sniffed and stood alone in the night, watching the young man disappear into the night, exactly the same as when she came.

Zhao's house.

Now this mansion is the old house of the Zhao family. It is located in the west of Ancheng city. It is in a good location, but after all, the owner's family has moved for so long, and the decoration is a bit outdated.

And now most of the Zhao family are not there, and the two brothers usually live, making it even more empty.

However, tonight Zhao's house is more lively than usual.

After finishing a dinner with only two diners, Su Qingyou and Zhao Tingyuan sat in the living room and chatted.

"My chef is usually used to making my taste." Su Qingyou said, "I don't know what you like to eat. If it doesn't suit the taste, you must tell me and improve it next time."

"It's delicious." Zhao Tingyuan smiled, "I'm not particular about what I eat, except that Yayuan's mouth is more silly."

But Zhao Yayuan was not here today, saying that he was looking for a friend.

Su Qingyou smiled, "That's good."

She took a sip of tea and suddenly seemed to ask casually, "I heard that you have met the Lu family before?"

Zhao Tingyuan was taken aback, only to realize that she was referring to the incident where their brother and Lu Yang and Lu Nian had a meal together.

He didn't know how Su Qingyou knew the news. He didn't answer yet. Suddenly, there was a loud closing sound. The teenager hung up his headphones and walked over with a fruit plate.

Zhao Tingyuan was surprised, "Yayuan, when did you come back?"

Zhao Yayuan put the fruit plate heavily on the coffee table between them.

"I'm back early." He stared at Su Qingyou who was opposite, his eyes were not very friendly, "I will bring you fruits."

Zhao Tingyuan was helpless, "Stop making trouble."

How could a young master like Zhao Yayuan do such a thing as giving fruits to people?

Su Qingyou pretended not to realize, "Thank you."

"So next week, come to my house to have a meal together? My parents have always wanted to pick you up for a long time." Su Qingyou said.

"Let's join Yayuan and try my chef's craftsmanship."

In fact, the Su family and the Zhao family have been in contact with each other before, mainly for business, but the adults of the two sides have good personal relationships, but the Su family was defeated later, and once almost fell to the point of declaring bankruptcy, and was forced to ask for help everywhere.

The Zhao family contributed their resources and provided them with a guarantee. The Su family successfully obtained the loan from the bank and survived the crisis. Therefore, the Su family has been reciting this kindness. The family happened to have a daughter about the same age as the Zhao family’s son. So the two families have been very enthusiastic.

Zhao Tingyuan agreed, "Okay, when..."

Zhao Yayuan had a bad tone, "I'm not going."

Zhao Tingyuan scolded him, "Yayuan!"

Zhao Yayuan, "I don't have time, I'm going to make up classes next week."

"Make up a lesson? You angered the make up teacher away last time. Where are you looking for a new one now?"

Zhao Yayuan said, "I'll go to Lu Nian."

Zhao Tingyuan heard the story of Fang Ye Tan, "Read it?"

When did their relationship get so good? Did Lu Nian agree?

Su Qingyou still has some restraint, even if he was startled when he heard this name, he was not too gloomy.

She had heard before that Zhao Yayuan had a very weird and perverted temper, so she was not surprised now, so she nodded generously, "Study is a matter of business. If Yayuan has no time, it doesn't matter if you don't go."

Zhao Tingyuan smiled apologetically to her, "I will send you out."

The two went out side by side, and when Zhao Tingyuan came back, the first time they went to the room to find Zhao Yayuan.

There was deafening rock and roll in the room, and the teenager was lying on the bed, flipping through a comic book.

Zhao Tingyuan turned off the speaker, "Yayuan, she is a girl, and she is older than you, so you have to be respectful when you speak."

"I don't like that person." Zhao Yayuan said, "it looks bad."

Zhao Tingyuan, "Who have you liked?? Who can make you like it is amazing."

"When I had dinner with Nian Nian some time ago, you can see what you said."

Zhao Yayuan, "That's different."

The reasons for his disgust with Lu Nian and Su Qingyou were completely different.

Besides, he could not say that he was...disgusted with Lu Nian.

"Brother, be careful." Zhao Yayuan suddenly became serious, "If this woman wants to marry you in the future, and then take away my family's money, don't even think about it. It's impossible for me to look at her like this."

Although he is only two years younger than him, but because he looks like a teenager, and his personality is always small, Zhao Tingyuan is also very pampered with him, just as a kid talking nonsense, "How is it possible, Qingyou The person is very nice, so don't go out and spread rumors in the future."

Zhao Yayuan snorted, then lay back on the bed again, and continued to read the comics.

Zhao Tingyuan knew that his younger brother, who is usually fierce in front of outsiders, is actually very clingy, and will act spoiled with people he likes. He is a child who hasn't grown up yet. He rubbed his brother's head, "Ya Yuan , We didn’t accompany you when we were young..."

Zhao Yayuan threw away his hand, "Fine, don't talk about it." The old story came again.

He drove Zhao Tingyuan out of the room, closed the door, and lay back on the bed.

Zhao Yayuan’s room is a typical boy’s room. Model airplanes, basketball posters, rock CDs, consoles and game discs are piled together. There is only one exception.

especially.

It is a picture framed and hung on the wall.

Behind the endless sea of ​​forest, the little boy was pale, smiled faintly at the camera, his eyebrows were exquisite, and there was a breath of illness that could not be resolved, but he smiled softly, as if a moonlight hung between his eyebrows.

He thought of Lu Nian.

Zhao Yayuan turned over and threw away the pile of comic books in his hand a little violently, "Your sister doesn't remember you at all."

He muttered this sentence to the void, his eyes were very complicated.

Although he hadn't seen Lu Nian, he probably knew everything about her as a child because he kept hearing the name many years ago. It seemed that it was natural for him to get close to Lu Nian.

However, getting closer can also be beneficial.

He wanted to determine whether Lu Nian really forgot, or just disguised the snake-heartedly too well.

Anseong University of Technology is not far from the affiliated high school, and it is considered a good university. Therefore, many affiliated high school students are admitted every year. Therefore, it is not unusual to see students in the affiliated high school uniform on campus.

Lu Yang and Lin Junrun sat face to face in a coffee shop in Anli.

Lu Yang frowned, "I am looking for your help for my sister's study, so don't bother her too much."

Lin Junrun nodded, "Okay."

Lu Yang asked, "Is she still in contact with that person these days?"

Lin Junrun knew Qin Si and remembered that he was the boy who met Lu Nian on the street that day.

He told Lu Yang what he had encountered on the street.

Lu Yang frowned slightly, "You said, Niannian let you go?"

Lin Junrun nodded.

Lu Yang asked, "Then what did they do?"

Lin Junrun said, "I watched it secretly and didn't do anything. I seemed to be arguing all the time. After Nian Nian left alone, I was not very happy."

Lu Yang said, "Nian-nian has hated him the most since he was a child. He has been pestering Nian-nian. Next time you meet him, tell him that our Lu family doesn’t welcome him. Tell him to stay away from Nian-nian."

Lin Junrun nodded hurriedly.

He is Lu Yang’s direct school brother. The family has known each other since childhood, but the Lu family is better than theirs. Lu Yang is generous and has a well-developed relative. Of course, he also knows Lu Nian’s identity. Lu Yang has already decided in Lu’s family. The position is over, the Lin family also knew about this, and naturally also called Lin Junrun to spend more time with Lu Yang.

The reason why Lu Yang trusted this matter to him was also for this reason.

Lu Yang said that he is now in college, and it is not convenient to see Nian-nian all the time, so he asks him to do a favor, saying that he owes him a favor.

Of course Lin Junrun was extremely happy.

He knew that Qin Si was quite early, because he was quite famous in his grade, with surprisingly good grades, handsome, and mysterious cool guy. Now many young girls like this type.

However, when Lin Junrun learned of his true identity from Lu Yang, he naturally looked down upon him.

In the second week, he went to the Qin Si class to look for him.

When the familiar boy came out, he didn't seem to see him at all.

He plucked up the courage to speak, "Are you Qin Si?"

The boy cast a low-eyed look at him, "What's the matter with you?"

Lin Junrun, "...My name is Lin Junrun, the one we ate with Niannian last time, we met on the street."

Nian Nian.

The boy sneered.

He was much taller than Lin Junrun, and when those indifferent black eyes were lowered to look at people, he was quite oppressive.

"We had a great meal together last time." Lin Junrun said, as if he wanted to use this fact to prove something general, "Niannian also agreed to paint for me."

Qin Si's tone was calm, "Why does she want to eat with you, you don't know?"

Lin Junrun's face turned pale, "What's up with you!"

He didn't know how Qin Si knew about this. Mingming Lu Yang promised him that he would never wear a gang.

Lin Junrun was a little incoherent, "Don't even think about telling the truth."

"I'm telling you, Niannian hates you." Lin Junrun said, "Don't pester her anymore, and no one in their family wants you to be near her."

The corner of the boy's lips curled up slowly, with sarcasm.

He knows himself well, knowing he doesn't deserve to miss her at all.

Lu Nian didn't care what he thought of him.

But it seems that the person in front of him has no self-awareness.

When he saw Lin Junrun trying to pull Lu Nian's hand that day, he found that his self-control was far from as good as he had imagined.

The boy lowered his eyes and asked casually, "Lu Yang asked you to come?"

Lin Junrun was panicked, "What does it have to do with Lu Yang?"

The boy said lightly, "Don't go to Lu Nian again."

The young boy's long and narrow phoenix eyes were like ice lakes, usually just looking cold, but at this moment, the fierceness and violence hidden in his eyes made Lin Junrun cold sweat.

"Go and tell Lu Yang that what he owes me will be paid off sooner or later."

Lu Nian was worried during this time. She remembered that she had promised Lin Junrun's painting, so she went to the studio of the art agency, where she has been soaking in the past few days after school.

The base drawing of the sketch has been finished. Lu Nian was standing on the drawing shelf, holding the paint and adjusting the color, when he was absent-mindedly preparing to paint, a girl came over and said in a low voice, "Niannian, someone is looking for you."

Lu Nian was surprised by the people who appeared, and he slipped his hands and squeezed the paint into his hands.

After all, it is rare for this person to come to her once in 800 years.

After the rainy night last time, their relationship seemed to heal a little bit. Although he didn't seem to be in a happy mood afterwards, it was better to put it apart than the previous big quarrel.

Qin Si seemed to be a little irritable, and didn't know how to speak. He watched her painting in silence for a while, "Are you painting homework?"

Lu Nian, "It's not homework, it's drawn for people."

"Who?"

"Lin Junrun, that's the same boy last time." Lu Nian said, "Last time he said he liked my paintings, I painted for him. You see, I painted the base map for three days. This place..."

Qin Si rarely cared about her hobbies. Lu Nian was a little happy. Out of an inexplicable desire to express herself, she happily introduced him to each of her proud pens.

The boy listened blankly, and said briefly, "Stop painting, he doesn't want it."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Lu Nian, "???"

"Wait, you make it clear why you don't want it."

Qin Si's face was not very good, "You must give it to him?"

Lu Nian, "It's an appointment."

Moreover, she has already painted so many and will not give it away, thanks to her.

There are a lot of people in the studio, and Lu Nian is beautiful, and many people have even thought that she is a high-level flower in their hearts, so they naturally pay a lot of attention.

Now I saw a handsome guy I didn't know came to her again, and his eyes and ears were ready to be in place.

The relationship between the two looks very delicate.

Saying it is close, listening to them is indeed quite casual, but looking at the content and tone, it is not friendly at all. Unlike relatives, it is impossible to fight with lovers.

Qin Si didn't seem to be in a good mood.

He also didn't seem to want to get involved with her in this large crowd. He had to walk away with his long legs, and his tone was cold, "If you want to send it, just find someone on the roadside to send it. Anyway, you can't just anyone. ."

Listen, is this still what people say?

Lu Nian's anger started from his heart, and the evil grew to the guts, "You wait."

She didn't care about the paint in her hand, and chased it out, almost taking out her speed of running in gym class. Fortunately, her physique has improved a bit now, and she finally caught up around the corner.

Lu Nian directly reached out and stopped in front of him.

She suddenly discovered that Qin Si was so much taller than her now, and how far away from the weak and bruised little boy before.

Qin Si didn't say anything and didn't want to run anymore. When Lu Nian just thought he was introspecting, he heard the boy say, "Someone is here."

Lu Nian, "..." Is she so shameless?

He hooked up with someone outside, can't be seen, right?

Moving to the end of a secluded corridor, Lu Nian said angrily, "You have a guilty conscience to see no one!"

The two were very close, and Qin Si didn't know why this time, but didn't push away as quickly as usual, she suddenly smelled a familiar smell.

Very shallow.

Deja vu, that is mixed with a touch of acacia scent, very refreshing and belongs to the boy.

Seems to grab something in general soon.

Lu Nian looked like a puppy, leaning on him, trying to get a clear idea.

The boy froze in an instant.

He felt that his whole person was not good, he loosely grasped her wrist and quickly separated from her, "...you treat a man like this?"

Lu Nian was not convinced, opened his eyes and looked at his hand holding his wrist, "You do the same to girls?"

Qin Si quickly let go, "...not including you."

The implication is that she is not considered a girl.

rogue.

Lu Nian was angry.

She has painted all her paws, and now she just wants to completely paste Qin Si's face, "Yes, you are usually outside and so many beautiful big sisters hook up, of course you don't think I count."

I don't like her, right?

Qin Si, "?"

Lu Nian was so much lower than him. He didn't know why, and his reaction was a little slow. Lu Nian's right cheek was painted with paint. Although he was only caught off guard, he succeeded in the end.

Seeing that Qingjun's face was ruined, she was happy, and finally clapped her hands with satisfaction, "Explain why you don't want me to send it."

The boy seemed to be reluctant to bring up this topic again, and looked away, "It was not you who Lin Junrun helped that day."

He said, "Don't look for him."

"why?"

Lu Nian didn't believe it, that was what Lu Yang told her. Although Lu Yang's character is not very good, it seems that he has not lied to her so far.

Moreover, suppose it was not Lin Junrun, who was it, and how did Qin Si know?

He couldn't answer why.

...I just like him.

The girl's voice was clear, clear and bright, with a little bit of a hurry, and the yelling line echoed in his ears.

The speaker had no intention, and it was probably a puff that made him embarrassed on the spot.

However, just such a sentence was enough to make him toss and turn for countless nights, and even had unspeakable dreams that made him ashamed to not want to think of it again.

He must not let Lu Nian know that it was him...otherwise, it would be too much trouble.

Once exposed, his unbearable thoughts could not be concealed in front of her at all.

But now, he has been forced to do nothing.

There are only two paths in front of you, or you can admit that it's not Lin Junrun, or...

He gritted his teeth, "I don't want you to meet him."

The tip of the young man’s ears were already red, and he was really forced to do nothing. It was extremely difficult to say.

When did Qin Si, who had been arrogant and cold since he was a child, said something like this?

The girl's big clear eyes opened wide, "What? You say it again?"

The author has something to say:

A big fun after marriage, all kinds of bullying four or four cubs.

Nian Nian: Talk about it.

Four or four cubs: ... (unspeakable)

Nian Nian: Wave (then see you)

What could be faster than forcing a thin-skinned arrogant who has been stubborn with your duplicity for so many years to confess in person.

Four or four cubs are too pitiful, it was so difficult to chase his wife, but after chasing it... (difficult in another sense)
