The night was thick.
As soon as Qiao Xi came out of the bathroom, she heard the sound of her mobile phone. It was a video call from Lu Huo.
She threw away the towel in her hand, found a place with bright lights, and connected the phone.
On the screen, the young man's clear eyebrows and eyes instantly appeared. With the light behind him, his facial features became deeper and deeper, "Xixi."
"It's so late, are you still reading?" Qiao Xi saw the pages of the book on his desk, all of which she couldn't understand, and she only saw the word "risk" marked on the circled place. .
She knew that he had been playing with investments recently.
"Well, when I'm thinking about something, reading a book can calm my mind." Lu Huo looked at the girl on the phone screen, "However, it doesn't seem to help much."
Qiao Xi asked, "Is it about the school?"
He has only started school in the past two days. Compared with other students who have been in college for almost two years, he really started a lot slower.
"Lu Huo, you are so smart, you will catch up soon, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Qiao Xi comforted him.
"Yeah." Lu Huo responded in a low voice.
What is the school's business that is bothering the teenager? He is born smart and has a strong learning ability. He has already learned all the knowledge points of the course.
"Are you eating out tonight?" He was bringing it up, he wanted to know who the man sitting next to her was.
"Brother Xiang told you that he met me in the restaurant?" Qiao Xi had already guessed that the elder brother bodyguard would mention this to Lu Huo. She had a pure smile on her fair little face, showing no guilt at all.
"He said you were dining with friends."
Qiao Xi nodded obediently. She just took a shower, and the hair on the side of her face was wet, and a few strands stuck to her face, making her face look whiter and smoother. She smiled and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect him to He went on a blind date there, and from his tone, he liked the girl on the blind date. If he really succeeds in the blind date, you probably need to give him some more vacation time so that he can settle the big things in his life."
Lu Huo replied: "Okay."
His eyes were a little dark, the girl didn't mention the man, if it was normal, she wouldn't change the subject on purpose.
After hanging up the video, Lu Huo sat in front of the desk and didn't move for a long time. He lowered his eyes, turned off the fire and jumped to his feet, rubbing his fat body with the snowball all the time without feeling it.
He was recalling what the bodyguard said, and the other party said that the figure of the man sitting with her was very similar to him, and the other party was also in a wheelchair.
On the other end, Qiao Xi buried her head in the pillow cautiously, obviously the two Lu Huo were the same person.
When school was about to end the next day, the car stopped at the school gate.
In the car, Lu Huo waited quietly. He wanted to pick Qiao Xi up from school.
The boy looked at the school gate, his hard and cold facial features softened, this was his first time visiting her school.
He can't walk normally with his legs now, and when his legs are fully recovered, he can accompany her for a walk in her school, instead of just turning the wheelchair and staying by her side, letting others look at him strangely she.
It was very quiet in the car.
Lu Huo looked at the time, he knew her schedule, and when she was about to leave school, he sent a message.
In the studio, Qiao Xi was finishing her brushwork.
Feeling the vibration of the mobile phone, she put down the brush and took out the mobile phone. It was a message from Xiao Lu Huo. He reported his condition to her, and he asked her if he could go to see him later
There was a little bit of humility in the message, Qiao Xi felt soft-hearted and sad. She was still worried about his condition, so of course she wanted to see him.
Qiao Xi replied the message.
Then, another message came in later, it was from Daluhuo, he asked her if she was out of school.
Qiao Xi replied to him that she would go to the villa to see him later today after school.
"Xixi, school is over." Ye Zixin suddenly patted Qiao Xi on the shoulder. Just after Qiao Xi pressed send, her shoulder trembled, her hand trembled, and the phone she was holding fell directly. In a small bucket placed at your feet.
With a "boom", the splashed paint still stained Qiao Xi's white skirt.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zi Zixin was dumbfounded, she never expected that Qiao Xi's phone would fall into the brush washing bucket because of her snap.
Although it was common for art students to drop their mobile phones into the bucket, she never thought that Qiao Xi would drop the mobile phone because of herself.
Ye Zixin rolled up her sleeves in a panic, and reached into the bucket to pick up the phone. The original white phone was stained with paint from the bottom of the bucket, making it dirty, and the screen turned blue.
Ye Zixin looked guilty, "Xixi, why don't I buy a new phone and return it to you." This phone is probably going to be scrapped.
Compared with Ye Zixin's panic and guilt, Qiao Xi's expression was still calm, she knew that the other party didn't mean it.
She pulled out a tissue beside her and signaled Ye Zixin to put the phone on the tissue, "It's okay, I'll take it to repair tomorrow, if it doesn't work, I'll get a new one."
"I will pay." Ye Zixin assured that she knew that Qiao Xi's family had money, but she did something wrong, and it was only natural for her to lose money, "Don't reject me, I will pay for it whether it is repaired or bought a new one. Give it to you, or I won't feel at ease."
Qiao Xi smiled, "Okay, this was an unintentional mistake, next time you just be careful not to be surprised."
Ye Zixin hurriedly responded, having learned a lesson, how would she dare next time.
Qiao Xi put the phone on the table, and carefully wiped off the paint and water stains on it with a tissue, while Ye Zixin quietly helped pass the tissue.
The sky darkens quickly in winter, and the lights in the classroom have already been turned on.
Ye Zixin quietly looked at Qiao Xi who was wiping the phone. His face was white and smooth, and his facial features were exquisite. Even his hair was pulled behind his ears, and the small ear exposed was white and small. It was so beautiful that people wanted to pinch it. .
Who doesn't like such a beautiful person, if she were a man, she would definitely fall in love with Qiao Xi too.
"Xiao Xi, why doesn't Lu Huo come to school to look for you? Does he not know how popular you are at school and how many opponents he has?" Doesn't Lu Huo feel a sense of crisis? For a school beauty like Qiao Xi, enough people chased her from the classroom door to the school gate.
If it wasn't for Qiao Xi's decisive refusal, not to engage in ambiguity, or even to give any chance to others, I'm afraid there would be more people chasing her.
After all, a fool would not like a beautiful person with such outstanding family background and appearance.
Speaking of Lu Huo, the corners of Qiao Xi's mouth subconsciously twitched, "I will take him to visit the school after a while, and he has long wanted to come."
"He should really come here to take the oath of sovereignty, so that other people will know that you are worthy of your name." After Ye Zixin finished speaking, she agreed with her own words and nodded.
Qiao Xi tried to turn it on, but the screen of the phone couldn't be turned on, it was indeed broken.
She was glad that she had replied to Lu Huo's message.
Outside the school gate, Lu Huo received a message from the girl. His dark eyes dimmed. After a while, he replied to the message telling her that he had arrived at the school gate.
However, on the other end of the phone, the girl never responded to his messages.
The slender fingers gradually gripped the phone tightly, and the knuckles turned white due to the force.
His eyes kept looking at the school gate, and after an unknown amount of time, he saw Qiao Xi walking out of it.
In such a cold weather, she was wearing a beige soft knitted long skirt with a light khaki long coat on it. When she was walking, the skirt was slit, revealing her thin white legs.
In the crowd, she is the most dazzling.
"Master, it's Miss Qiao." The bodyguard who was driving also noticed Qiao Xi's figure, "Do you need me to drive over now?"
Lu Huo watched the girl walk towards her family's car, and watched the car leave, his deep voice sounded, "Follow."
Even if we don't meet, he still wants to take her home.
"Yes, master."
The bodyguard started the car, followed Qiao Xi's car without haste, keeping a distance.
Until the car stopped outside the gate of a hotel, the bodyguard said in confusion and embarrassment: "Master, Miss Qiao seems to have gotten off the car."
Ms. Qiao didn't look for the young master after school, and she didn't know how to go home, so she ran to the hotel
On the rear seat, Lu Huo didn't respond, his eyes were fixed on the black car not far away, and then he saw the girl get off the car.
The cold wind brushed against her snow-white face and messed up her hair. She reached out to hold her hair and trot into the hotel.
The thin lips were pursed tightly, and Lu Huo's face was expressionless, making it difficult for people to see his thoughts clearly.
The atmosphere in the car was serious and dead silent, and the bodyguard didn't speak.
In front of the hotel room door, Qiao Xi rang the doorbell for the first time, and the door of the room opened instantly, as if Lu Huo had been waiting behind the door.
Pushing open the door, Qiao Xi met the young man's dark eyes, his eyes were bright, with a faint smile, obviously very happy to see her.
"You've been waiting?" Lu Huo backed the wheelchair and let the girl walk in.
Hearing her question, Lu Huo's ears felt a little hot. He had been looking forward to her coming to see him earlier in the morning.
He shook his head, "No, I just woke up."
Above the head, small leaf buds popped out.
With just one glance, Qiao Xi knew that he was duplicity. Obviously, he had really been waiting for her.
The apex of his heart softened, Qiao Xi bent down, reached out and touched his forehead, it was still hot, and the fever was about to subside, "Take another day of medicine, I guess your illness will be cured tomorrow."
The girl's hand was very cold, Lu Huo held back her little hand while holding back his embarrassment, his ears were red, "Your hand is so cold."
He noticed that she was wearing a skirt. In this weather, wearing a skirt must be cold.
"You should wear more." The boy said with concern.
"It doesn't look good if you wear it too thick." She is afraid of the cold and loves beauty. Either way, she prefers beauty.
Lu Huo disagreed, his handsome face was serious, and he looked a little serious, "You look good in whatever you wear, not that you look good in less clothes."
Qiao Xi smiled, "Why do you say the same thing as my mother?" The young and handsome young man spoke with an old-fashioned tone, which was very cute.
Lu Huo glanced at her faintly, squeezed her little hand tightly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Qiao Xi frowned, "Do you still want to go out to eat tonight?"
"May I?"
"Of course, but time is tight tonight. After dinner with you, I'm going to find him." The "he" Qiao Xi said meant Dalu Huo.
Lu Huo's eyes darkened in front of him, "Okay."
Qiao Xi found a black fisherman's hat and helped Lu Huo put it on, "It's windy outside today, you wear the hat to keep out the wind."
"What about you?" For him, she was thoughtful, but for herself, she wore so little.
"How can I be the same, I am a beautiful frozen person, and you are a patient." Qiao Xi helped him straighten his hat, and she pushed him outside.
When they got down to the lobby, the door just opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in front of them, Qiao Xi subconsciously pressed the hat on Lu Huo's head.
The car parked not far away fell into a dead silence, and the surrounding air pressure seemed to be colder than outside the car.
The bodyguard saw Qiao Xi appear, and at the same time, she pushed a man in a wheelchair out. Even though he had seen many scenes, the bodyguard couldn't help being shocked. That man should be the man sitting next to Qiao Xi in the restaurant last night.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Huo who was sitting on the rear seat, "Master, Miss Qiao is out..."
The lights in the car were not turned on, and the light behind the rear seat was even dim, blurring the silhouette of the boy.
His face was plunged into darkness, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
The bodyguard only knew that the air pressure in the car was very low, and Lu Huo was obviously extremely unhappy, "Master, do you need me to say hello to Miss Qiao?"
Lu Huo didn't respond, he looked at Qiao Xi who was standing under the bright lights of the hall, she was chatting with the man in the wheelchair, her eyebrows were curved, and her little face was full of bright smiles.
And the man was sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a hat so that his face could not be seen clearly.
The wind blew, and the hat was mostly turned up.
The bodyguard subconsciously said: "Master, why does that man look like you?"
He has good eyesight. Just now, he saw that the other party showed most of his face, and he actually looked like his young master. Moreover, the other party was also sitting in a wheelchair, and even his figure was also like the young master.
How is this going
The bodyguard brother's mother loves to watch dramas, and sometimes he will watch them with the elderly, so naturally he has watched a lot of cheesy and bloody dramas.
So, subconsciously, a bloody thought appeared in the bodyguard's mind. He seemed to have discovered some big secret, "Ms. Qiao will not use you as the other party's substitute, will you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the car almost froze, and it became a little colder.
The boy's deep voice was hoarse, "Shut up!"
