Chapter 39：

Zhao Yayuan had not left when Qin Si pushed the door in.

Lu Zhihong's study was originally very spacious, with most of the books used for decoration on both sides, a crimson solid wood desk, half-cage curtains, and the dark winter sunlight falling in, making the entire study seem to be covered with afterglow.

Originally, Zhao Yayuan sat opposite Lu Zhihong. At this moment, with three people, the room seemed a little cramped inexplicably.

The boy had a straight back and did not look at Zhao Yayuan.

His brows were cold and restrained, and he never showed emotions, and this time was no exception.

"Xiao Qin." Lu Zhihong smiled, "I just want to take the time to call you these few days. Unexpectedly, you will come by yourself today."

"Do you guys meet?" Lu Zhihong motioned, "This is Yayuan, Zhao Yayuan, this is..."

"I know him." Zhao Yayuan said.

He was still sitting, raising his eyebrows and faintly looking at the incoming teenager.

How come you don’t know each other.

Is this the one that Lu Nian fell in love with?

He and Qin Si have not met directly. This time, he took a look and felt that Lu Nian might be nothing more than a little girl's mind, because the skins had a hazy affection for people.

Lu Zhihong said, "You should all graduated from the same school, I forgot."

Zhao Yayuan stretched his hands, "Yes, Senior Qin's grades are so good, it's hard not to know him."

Qin Si's voice was faint, "I have encountered it several times on the road."

Obviously, he did not let Lu Zhihong have the illusion that they are familiar.

"Uncle, I have nothing to do today." Zhao Yayuan said, "Then I will leave first, so I won't disturb your conversation."

Lu Zhihong nodded, "Go ahead, I have a chat with Xiao Qin."

"Listening Yuan is at home now?" Before Zhao Yayuan stood up, Lu Zhihong suddenly thought of one thing, and seemed to ask casually.

Before socializing, they called the juniors to visit each other for the New Year. It’s not surprising in their circle. However, during the previous year’s festival, the people who visited the Lu family on behalf of the Zhao family were usually Zhao Tingyuan. Zhao Yayuan.

"My brother is back to Haicheng temporarily." Zhao Yayuan said, "Go and greet my relatives over there. I'll be back first."

After all, Zhao Yayuan is now in the third year of high school, time is tight, and he is the youngest son. It is not a big problem not to attend some occasions.

He said, "Originally, my family wanted my brother to come over, but he really couldn't get away. My grandparents hadn't seen the grandson for too long, so I didn't let anyone go."

Lu Zhihong's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled, "It doesn't matter, I think Nian Nian also likes you more. You are in a good relationship. If you come here for your brother, she might be happier."

The teenager on the side was silent all the time, his face was plain, and when he heard these words, his expression did not change at all.

It seems that all this has nothing to do with him, just listening to completely irrelevant arguments.

He waited quietly for them to finish.

The two passed by, Zhao Yayuan stopped at the door and confirmed once more, "By the way, uncle, Nian-nian should be at home now, right?"

He came to the Lu family this time and deliberately paid attention, but he did not see Lu Nian show up during the whole process.

Lu Zhihong said, "She has a chill, she has been dizzy these days, and her energy level has been poor. I don't know if she is too tired to study."

"Go and see her, she should be reading in the study now." Lu Zhihong said, "see if she can cheer up a little bit."

The door was finally closed.

The room was quiet again.

Lu Zhihong picked up the teacup and took a sip without hesitation.

The dark tea tastes a bit bitter at first, and he likes to taste tea.

There is a special small stove on his desk, which is specially used to make tea. The fragrance of tea is slowly baked and gradually diffused throughout the study.

There was silence in the study.

The young man's back was still straight, and there was no impatience between his beautiful eyebrows.

When I was a child, the fierce stubbornness and hostility seemed to have been mellowed down, but it became more and more clear and compelling, and the temperament was like cedar.

"Nian Nian has made great progress this time." Lu Zhihong finally said, "especially mathematics."

He said, "It's all thanks to you."

"It's an honor." The young man lowered his eyelashes. "It's the result of her own hard work."

Lu Zhihong asked, "Secretary Zhang said, the salary paid to you was returned intact by you?"

He answered neither humble nor overbearing, and his tone was light, "I have already said it in advance, and I don't need to be paid."

Indeed, when he first came to Lu Zhihong, he said that, he said he would not be paid, if he could, he would like an internship opportunity with Lu.

Lu Zhihong smiled.

The horizon is not shallow. Compared with a small amount of money, in the long run, the internship opportunity at Lu is naturally more valuable.

"I promised." Lu Zhihong said, "then I will definitely do it."

"Study for half a year in college." He suddenly changed his words and asked, "How do you feel?"

He said, "Very busy, I have taken some extra credits."

"I've been to your school before for training." Lu Zhihong seemed to miss, "It is indeed a good place to study."

"It's a pity that my daughter is not as good as you. It's almost impossible to get admitted." Lu Zhihong said, "However, I don't have high demands on her. She has been in poor health since childhood. As a dad, I can't bear to persecute anything."

Qin Si didn't react much, just listened to Lu Zhihong quietly.

He has a good grasp of every measure.

It is a subtle and polite attitude, listening to an ordinary thing about a high school girl that I have taught for a few days, but is still not familiar with it.

Or, listening to a senior in the industry, talking about his frail daughter.

Lu Zhihong opened a piece of tea.

The afterglow of the sunset has gradually appeared.

He admired the young man very much, and Lu Zhihong stood up and said, "You will come to Lu's headquarters for an internship next year."

Older, now he is still too young.

Although Lu Zhihong sometimes forgets when he talks with him, he is only a teenager who is less than twenty standing in front of him.

He also said, "The Lu family has branches in the imperial capital. You can find this one, Ding Kaihua, and he will give you a suitable position. If you are willing to go, you can start early."

Qin Si took the business card, "Thanks to your care."

"You're welcome." Lu Zhihong smiled.

"I like young people like you who are full of life." He looked into the distance.

If, Ah Zhu survived that year.

However, A Zhuo had a soft temper, he was more than capable, but lacked courage and ruthlessness, and he was obviously inferior to the one standing in front of him.

As for Lu Nian...he even ignored it.

Lu Zhihong's phone vibrated slightly. He picked up the phone and glanced at it, "I want to go back to the company immediately."

"You rarely come here once." Lu Zhihong said, "Tell them to entertain you and leave later."

He said, "After all, you have lived in this house. Be casual and don't be cautious."

...

Zhao Yayuan was strolling around the Luzhai.

His family is also very large, but it is still small compared to Lu Zhai.

This is just the main house. There is a large and exquisite garden outside. The side house surrounds the owner's house, and the lights inside have been lit up.

There are large-scale landscape paintings hanging beside the spiral staircase, which are all tasteful, but a little too old-fashioned.

There is really no fun in the Lu family. The servants are like robots. They are reluctant to talk. They are paid and do their own things. They don't say a word about other things in the host family.

If Qiu Li wants to come back.

He was a little unimaginable, the appearance of him trapped in this mansion, after all, he was accustomed to the world of green mountains and green waters outside, free and easy, and this oppressive, dim, dull mansion, no different from two worlds.

The Lu family’s room is on the first floor, while Lu Nian’s room is on the second floor.

He stopped and looked in the direction of the third floor. The end of the stairs was dark and there was no light.

He remembered that Qiu Li said.

The children's room for the two of them was on the third floor before. When he was a child, he lived with his sister, ate and slept together. The twin sisters and brothers were naturally closer than ordinary brothers and sisters.

Qiu Li said a lot when he was young.

My sister loves his things.

It is difficult for Zhao Yayuan to specifically associate this luxurious and inexplicably gloomy mansion with his siblings, Hemeimei, and the happy and happy memories he described.

Qiu Li always said how his sister treated him well.

At that time, Zhao Yayuan was young and had a bad temper. He was annoyed by it. He said casually, "Your sister was so kind to you. At that time, why didn't you want you? I wanted to hurt you? Which words of you are deceiving?"

Qiu Li didn't answer for a long time.

From now on, he became more and more silent and talked less and less about his past.

After Zhao Yayuan grew up, she regretted this incident when she thought of it.

Qiu Li cared especially about his relatives.

Just like now, he regards him and Qiulan as his relatives, and does his best to treat them well, and at that time, the only relative left beside him is his sister.

Anyway, it's fast too.

Zhao Yayuan thought, if Lu Nian really discovered the identity of Qiuli.

Qiu Li estimated that he could get what he dreamed of. With the character of Lu Nian he knew, as long as she knew the truth, whether she wanted to make up for it out of guilt or out of affection from her heart, she would only be able to treat Qiu. Lek good.

After a round, he was going to the study to find Lu Nian.

But unexpectedly, there were five or six in the Lu family's house alone, and he was not familiar with the Lu family.

Only in the end, I finally saw a familiar, Lu Nian's closest babysitter, looking at the appearance of a twenty-five-six-year-old.

"Where is Lu Nian now?" He stepped forward and asked, "I said it was in the study. I read a few times, but she was not there and she didn't answer the phone."

Miao Miao knew him and knew that it was a guest who needed to be treated favorably.

She said, "Just in the study room." It was in that small study room, which was basically not allowed to enter.

"Now?" Zhao Yayuan's temper a little bit up.

It’s so difficult to find someone.

Miao Miao said, "Miss Niannian went back to the room."

She said, "Should be asleep."

Zhao Yayuan said, "Is she okay, how can she sleep all day long, and she hasn't gotten up very early in the morning."

"It's just going to be winter, do you want to hibernate?" He wanted to open the doorknob and go in to see Lu Nian.

Miao Miao was busy stopping.

Zhao Yayuan said, "Can't I go in?"

He narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and looked like a smile. Outside, the young master of the Zhao family is also famous, and he is a stubborn, domineering and arrogant name.

Miao Miao knew about the relationship between the Zhao family and the Lu family and was in a dilemma.

There was a stalemate, and at the end of the corridor, another young man appeared.

Miaomiao was obviously relieved.

"I still have something to do." She hurriedly said, "You two will talk first. I will ask the kitchen to prepare dinner. If you need anything, please call us anytime."

She was relieved, walked quickly, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Qin Si said few things. He was taller than Zhao Yayuan, with stretched bones, wide shoulders and long legs, and he still began to look like a young man leap over to a young man, although the expression between his eyes was still faint.

"Have you finished talking?" Zhao Yayuan seemed to smile, "Is there time to go out too?"

"Lu Zhihong is out," he said.

Zhao Yayuan was not surprised, "Well, what are you doing here? You also came to Lu Nian."

Zhao Yayuan raised her eyebrows, "Or, come and take care of me?"

Qin Si said indifferently, "It's none of my business."

"It's just that, after all, Lu Zhihong now prefers your brother." The young man's brows were light, as if he was stating a fact that had nothing to do with him, "Your current behavior will only give you a deduction."

His eyes swept towards Zhao Yayuan's fingers still holding on the doorknob, faintly, cold.

Zhao Yayuan slowly let go, "Uncle Lu has left?"

A sneerful smile hung on the corner of the boy's lips, "Do you think he doesn't know?"

Zhao Yayuan was very interested now, "I thought, you are interested in her?"

In this way, Lu Nian was stupid.

I fell in love with someone before I started, but it was a pity that I fell out of love before the love started.

The boy said coldly, "Where is it, what is it thinking about."

"I'm just a dog that his family picked up to do things." His eyebrows were like ice and snow, and his phoenix eyes looked even more pitch-black. "Do you know what happened when I was in the Lu family when I was a kid?"

Zhao Yayuan did know.

Qin Si's life and experience in the Lu family are no secrets. After a little investigation, they will naturally know the bottom line.

Money, power and feelings are not the same.

People tend to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In the hypothesis of rational people, you will let go of hatred or any other feelings because of money, power, and other benefits. As long as the benefits are sufficient, it is not impossible to choose to cooperate with the enemy.

However, you can never have any surplus feelings for your enemies.

Zhao Yayuan said, "After that, I hope we can cooperate happily."

Take what you need.

"Forget it, I'll call and ask, this silly girl, she only sleeps all day long." Zhao Yayuan lazily said, "I will tell her to go to my house afterwards. There are too many people here, too boring, so I can't worry about it. ."

Miao Miao arranged things for the people in the kitchen, but he was still a little worried and hurriedly came back to look.

Zhao Yayuan had already left, the bedroom door was still tightly closed, only Qin Si was left.

Miao Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you, I was very helpful."

She didn't want to offend Zhao Yayuan, but she didn't want him to go in like this and disturb Lu Nian either.

"Do you want to stay for dinner?" she asked.

"You don't want to wait anymore..." Miao Miao hesitated, "Niannian might wake up later."

The boy shook his head, "It's over."

Didn't you come to see Nian Nian, Miao Miao was also a little startled, is it really just to come to Lu Zhihong?

He has turned and left.

The boy's thin lips were tightly pressed, and the knuckles of the slender fingers hanging down his side had turned white because of the force.

The door was closed tightly.

Lu Nian was still sleeping, holding the deer, sleeping unconsciously.

The night went down, and the indoor heating was turned on. It was as warm as spring, without the severe cold of winter at all.

It seemed that she suddenly felt cold, she shrank slightly, but did not wake up.

The girl was wrapped in a thick cotton quilt, the curtains around the bed were hanging down, her small face was white in sleep, her lips were slightly pursed, she seemed to be asleep, and her mood was still not very good.

She has a poor physique, slender and thin, wrapped in such a silkworm pupa-like quilt, she looks more and more slender, with only a small ball, her neck is slender, and a small shoulder is exposed. Her shoulders are very thin, but the exposed skin is as white as porcelain. .

After a long time.

Approaching with the breath of cold night wind outside.

A light touch came from the lips.

Very light, pious and gentle in action.

...

It burns at the touch, even if it's just such a light touch.

The restrained breathing was abruptly suppressed, and the darkness covered everything.

The touch has disappeared.

Lu Nian seemed to be entangled in a dream. She finally woke up, rubbed her eyes, sat up straight on the bed, but found nothing.

The room is quiet and everything is business as usual.

During this period of time, she was in poor health and had more dreams.

She pursed her lips and called Miao Miao, "Miao Miao, did you come in just now?"

Miao Miao turned on the night light and shook his head, "No, dreaming again?"

She drew the curtains and closed the window. "Niannian, don't look at the window anymore. It's cold outside. You will have a headache when you are blowing in the wind."

Lu Nian blushed a little, "...I don't look at it often."

She was sober now, and was touched by this sentence.

The first thing was to scold Qin Si eight hundred times in his heart.

After all, still unresolved.

Afterwards, the short winter vacation soon ended and the third year of high school started.

Days were busy and busy. With the wave of the first monthly exam, Lu Nian Mathematics finally hit 130 points for the first time, so even with the total score, he also rushed to an unprecedented ranking, although the second time he fell quickly. .

The faster the time passed, she devoted herself to studying and spent a lot less time on painting.

So that day, she occasionally logged in to Shanghai Rabbit again, and she saw a piece of news about an appointment.

And it's a company, not a private contract.

Lu Nian followed the phone call.

"We are in charge of the "Star Strike" mobile game planning." said over there, "Next month, our company wants to do a new event, we need a poster, we saw your work on the Internet, think it is suitable, do not know you Would you like to take over the part of the manuscript for the next event?"

Lu Nian was very pleasantly surprised.

But then he was nervous, "I'm sorry, I only have two months to take the college entrance examination. Can you draw this manuscript after I finish the exam."

The other side was silent for a while, and apologized, "Then this project may not be able to catch up."

Lu Nian also knew that it was difficult for him to be strong, "Thank you for liking my manuscript."

The remuneration offered on the opposite side is really very high, and she really likes Lu Jue and is willing to draw for him.

But he didn’t hang up the phone and said, “We also saw the fan manuscripts you drew. They are all excellent, but they have all been published. If you have not published any publicly published drafts of "Star Strike," you can post. Come and show us it? If there is a suitable one, we can also use it in other publicity channels."

Lu Nian's eyes lit up, "Some and some."

She found the manuscript immediately, packed it up nervously, and mailed it.

The other side returned a receipt.

Lu Nian didn't have the mood to draw anymore, put the tablet away, and sighed.

But finally there is some hope.

There is only one month left for the college entrance examination.

"Are you unwilling to go abroad?" Lu Zhihong talked to her once.

Lu Nian lowered her head, "Yes." This was the first time she had told Lu Zhihong her choice.

"You have really worked hard in the past six months." Lu Zhihong said.

"An Da," he said.

"Tingyuan is also in Angola."

Lu Zhihong said, "Based on your current grades and comprehensive consideration of your future professional development, staying in the country is the best choice. If you fail to pass the exam, Dad will arrange for you to go abroad."

Lu Nian looked down, "Okay, thank you Dad."

She understood that this should be the best choice she could fight.

Stay in Ancheng.

If she expresses her desire to go out, other places are fine, if she wants to go to the city where Qin Si is...

Lu Zhihong was very shrewd, she did not dare to show a bit of her own attitude in this regard.

And if in Ancheng.

After all, Qin Si's home is here. Ancheng has a developed economy. After Qin Si graduates, it is very likely that he will return to Ancheng to develop.

At any rate, it was on a piece of land.

Lu Nian suddenly felt exhausted.

She can only continue to work hard.

But Qin Si hadn't heard from him for so long.

That night, she was very tired of reviewing, and she couldn't write the title, and all the years of pressure almost caused her to collapse.

Feeling uncomfortable, she suddenly felt a peculiar resentment, her nose was a little sour, she crumpled the draft into a ball and threw it directly into the wastebasket.

The phone was still aside, and she finally couldn't help it. Picking up the phone, without even thinking about it, she directly dialed the number that had been accumulated in dust for a long time.

At this time, it was three o'clock in the middle of the night.

She didn't intend that Qin Si would answer this call, but just wanted to make it, out of a kind of unethical, pure vent.

Either waking him up or making him irritable, maybe they can fight again the next day.

Anyway, they have had a lot of quarrels since they were young, and they quarreled every time they met.

What she didn't expect is,

After a busy tone, the call there was picked up quickly.

After almost half a year away, she heard the familiar voice on the other side of the phone. After half a year away, she heard a familiar and unfamiliar voice, "Hello?"

It seems to be lower than I remembered, still dull, but with a touch of tiredness and hoarseness.

She was stunned, for a moment she didn't know what to say.

I didn't speak here, I only heard the girl's gentle breathing, like a feather gently scratching.

He took the phone farther away, "...what's the matter?"

Hearing his voice did not deliberately lower it.

Lu Nian finally squeezed out a sentence, "... answer the phone so late, are you afraid to wake up your roommate?"

He said, "I'm not in the dormitory."

Not in the dormitory at three o'clock in the middle of the night.

? ? ?

Lu Nian's tone is flat, great reading, "...then, are you not afraid to wake up your girlfriend who is sleeping next to you?"

Sure enough, college life was degrading, and he was obviously immersed in it.

Like a fish in water.

There was silence for a long time.

Lu Nian was irritable, and suddenly a little wronged, she just wanted to hang up the phone, if it would be fine in person, she would scold him viciously and shamelessly.

He finally said, "It's at work."

These three words are shallow.

The computer screen is still on, the numbers are flickering, and the data that the software runs hasn't run out yet.

And tomorrow he will go back to school to catch the ten o'clock class.

There was a sticky note stuck on the table next to him. It was something he was going to do last night during this period of time. It was densely packed, and most of it had been crossed out. There was also Fang Deng’s mail. He had not responded yet, and there were a lot of things that needed to be dealt with.

He took a nap at the table, and when he heard the ringing tone, he woke up immediately and answered the phone.

At night, looking down from the tall buildings, the day-by-day bustling city was mostly silent, seeming extremely lonely.

Lu Nian was stunned.

She didn't feel like, "It's so late?"

Is it because of the money? The tuition is okay. After all, the living expenses are not a small expense... she thought.

She didn't want him to work so hard, but Qin Si's self-esteem had always been too strong, and she would never accept this kind of help from her.

"I'm not short of money." He said concisely, clearly knowing what she was thinking.

It's for something else.

What he wanted.

Lu Nian, "...oh."

She originally wanted to ask if it disturbed his work, but when she thought that he hadn't heard from him for more than half a year, and then he wouldn't be able to during the New Year, she was angry without a word, and didn't want to ask anymore.

Simply maintaining the state of the call, I didn't bother to say a word.

Wait for him to hang up impatiently, she thought nerdy.

But there has been no hang up.

Hearing the shallow breathing of the girl over there, the rustling of the soft cloth, it seemed that she got out of the bed, took a sip of water, and got back up again, light as a deer.

She should still sleep on that bed.

Just like the scene that night.

...

His Adam's apple moved, a slender hand covered his eyes, the end of his eyes was already thin red, but the fingers of his left hand pressed the record button uncontrollably.

It's like opening a Pandora's Box.

In the year that she left her, it got worse and worse.

"I only have one month to take the college entrance examination." Lu Nian muttered, "I, maybe not, I won't go abroad."

After all, he had let go of harsh words before him, saying that he would go far.

She shrank into a ball on the bed, and because of her tension, Xue Nen's little toes curled up, her voice was tender, with a little vibrato that could not only be felt.

So in other words, they will have another chance to meet afterwards.

The author has something to say:

Hehe.

Later, someone was forced to say all this before.

Nian Nian (Great Reading): You are really shameless, come, say it again, I want to record it.

Four or four cubs:...

(This is the rhythm to kill people)
