Perhaps because of the previous incident, the domestic servants became more cautious, even to the point of trembling.
When Jiang Rui watched the food come to the table with her own eyes, the person who served the food didn't dare to breathe.
Lou Wenyuan sat in the main seat, although his expression looked similar to usual, but for no reason people dared not look at him more.
Except for the occasional sound of chopsticks hitting the dishes, there was no sound on the dining table, and it was depressingly quiet.
This kind of feeling is really bad, as if it is not food that is eaten in the stomach, but a heavy stone.
Jiang Rui was determined to break this state, and she put the chopsticks on purpose, making a clack sound, either light or heavy, then picked up the spoon to drink the soup, slurping it thinly, and when she put the spoon down, it made a soft sound again. .
There were so many small actions that Lou Wenyuan couldn't ignore it.
"What do you want to say?" he finally asked.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the invisible and breathless atmosphere suddenly loosened, and the people in the house breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh?" Jiang Rui stuffed her mouth with food and looked at him suspiciously with puffed cheeks.
Looking at her innocent expression, Lou Wenyuan felt a little bored, as if he couldn't bear without her and lost.
But for him to admit, that's impossible.
He said very peacefully: "Why do you make so many noises when you can eat quietly?"
"Because it sounds lively like this, don't you think it's too quiet, making people so depressed that they can't even eat?" Jiang Rui swallowed the meal.
Can't eat
Lou Wenyuan glanced at her rice bowl, which was the second bowl, and she also ordered dessert after dinner with Mrs. Li. Is this the so-called unable to eat
"Do you know how much an average girl eats?"
Jiang Rui asked back, "I'm not just an ordinary girl? Or, have you observed a lot of girls?"
"How come." Lou Wenyuan hooked the corner of his mouth, then decided not to talk to her anymore.
Jiang Rui lowered her head to grab the rice, carefully hiding the smile on her lips.
She had already figured out his quirky habits. She was obsessed with cleanliness, had obsessive-compulsive disorder, and couldn't stand the unethical noises at the dinner table. Her every move was as regulated as a textbook, and she was less human than she was.
He wants to concentrate on eating, she wants to talk.
"I don't want to go home tonight."
"Girls don't say such things."
"But I've said it all. If I don't go home at night, I want to sleep with you." Jiang Rui's tone was charming.
Lou Wenyuan started to reflect on his job. Did he wear his gentle mask for so long that she forgot her fear of him, and now she is more reckless
He turned to look at her, trying to confirm with his eyes if she really forgot, and if so, remind him.
If wearing the glasses is not enough, he may consider taking the glasses off.
But Jiang Rui didn't look at him at all, trying to fight a piece of spare ribs in the plate.
Lou Wenyuan looked at it for a while, and saw that she made the whole plate covered with sauce, even the edge of the plate was not spared, but she still couldn't take out the bones in the ribs. , separated flesh and blood in three or two strokes, and pushed it in front of her.
"Huh? Thank you!" Jiang Rui smiled and thanked him, "So do you agree with me to stay?"
Lou Wenyuan didn't speak, and he began to reflect on himself again.
Jiang Rui said to herself: "If you don't agree, I have to stay, and I even brought a pillow."
After dinner, Lou Wenyuan was about to go upstairs, but Jiang Rui stopped him: "Aren't you going to take a walk just after dinner? Be careful that your belly turns into a general's belly, and you start to gain weight before middle age."
"This situation won't happen to me." He has maintained the habit of fitness.
"Every man who hasn't gained weight thinks so. My dad still thinks he is still handsome and suave."
Although he told himself to ignore her words, Lou Wenyuan still had Zhou's rich belly and round face in his mind.
He didn't stop walking upstairs, but when he got to the third floor, he didn't go directly into the study, but went to the gym and walked on the treadmill for 40 minutes before coming out.
When dealing with business affairs in the study, every once in a while, he glanced in the direction of the door or checked his mobile phone.
Ever since she said she wanted to stay at night, he had a hunch that it would not be as quiet as before, but he hadn't seen her for so long. I didn't wait, it made people remember hanging in their hearts all the time.
Finally, after he didn't know how many times, there was a knock on the door, and he felt a faint sigh of relief - after quickly dealing with her, he could do things with peace of mind.
Jiang Rui stuck her head in from the door, tilted her head and asked, "Can I read a book here with you?"
It's polite now that I know I'll disturb him.
Lou Wenyuan was about to speak, when Jiang Rui squeezed in through the crack of the door, closed the door, walked to the sofa and sat down, took out a book that was obviously a magazine, turned her head and said to him with a smile, "Do your work. ,Do not bother me."
It was just a nice question.
Lou Wenyuan silently closed his mouth again.
There were more people in the study, and when it was quiet, there was a rustling sound of flipping books, but there was no other interference, and the sound of flipping books was not unbearable. He was quick to concentrate on the business at hand.
After an unknown amount of time, he closed one document and reached for another, when a white plate suddenly appeared in front of him, with a few delicate cookies and a glass of milk on the plate.
"I'm hungry, you can eat with me." Jiang Rui lay in front of the desk and looked at him from the bottom up.
Lou Wenyuan put down his pen and pinched the bridge of his nose, "It's not good to eat too much at night."
"Not too much, just this, you have done so much work, and you can't fall asleep when you are hungry, right? And I specially asked the kitchen to make whole wheat soda crackers, salty, not sweet, and easy to digest. "
This was another habit she observed of him, not fond of desserts.
Lou Wenyuan put on his eyes and looked at her up and down, "You didn't do anything, why are you hungry?"
"I know you just want to say that I can eat it, that's what you meant at the dinner table just now!" Jiang Rui squeezed her two fists and pounded it off the table.
"You said it, I didn't." Lou Wenyuan had a smile on his lips.
Jiang Rui pouted and said, "I'm hungry anyway, and I'll eat more in the future, I'll eat you into a pauper!"
Lou Wenyuan nodded, reached out and picked up a biscuit, and encouraged her to say, "The ideal is lofty, so work hard."
Jiang Rui snorted, propped her chin up and watched him eat for a while, then turned her head around, "I've finished reading my books, do you have any books you can lend me?"
Lou Wenyuan glanced at the magazine on the sofa, meaning, "I'm afraid I don't have any books you read here."
"Stop looking down on people! Do you want to borrow me?"
"The row of bookshelves on the left, look for it."
Jiang Rui took two steps and turned around to ask him, "Is there anything I can't move? You tell me in advance first."
"No." Lou Wenyuan shook her head, a little surprised that she would take this into consideration, but then she thought about it, except for the audacity to suddenly run and say she was going to marry him, except for drinking and hugging him to be drunk, and for pestering him. I said a lot of nonsense at night, except...
Forget it, I don't want to.
He even tried to find the good in her, isn't it as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack
There are several rows of bookshelves against the wall in the study, extending from the floor to the ceiling. Each bookshelf is filled with densely packed books, and each book is in thick leather and hardcover. If you accidentally fall, you can kill someone.
Jiang Rui looked up for a long time, and finally found a thinner book, and tried to take it down on tiptoe.
"what?"
This is not a book, but a photo frame on the side. In the photo frame, a teenage boy, looking closely at the outline, is Lou Wenyuan, except that the appearance is somewhat similar to the present, and his temperament is poor. far away.
At that time, although he was young and slender, he gave a gloomy and indifferent feeling between his eyebrows and eyes. With those gray eyes, he was staring at him coldly, which made people unconsciously feel chills on the back of their necks. , as if being targeted by some cold-blooded hunter.
The photo was taken under a tree in the garden. There was something white between the leaves behind him. Jiang Rui carefully identified it and confirmed that it was a white Persian cat.
"You actually raised a cat." Jiang Rui raised the photo frame in his hand in surprise.
Lou Wenyuan looked over and was a little surprised that the photo was here, but for her question, he just hummed lightly.
Jiang Rui looked at the photo again, and suddenly smiled: "So you were so young."
Lou Wenyuan was too lazy to answer this question.
Jiang Rui continued to comment, "You used to be in the school, you must be a first-class person in the school, wearing a clean white shirt every day, holding a book in your hand, fair skin, melancholy eyes, wow, beautiful boy! Super impressive I'm sorry, there must be a lot of girls who like you, I'm going to look for a love letter!"
Immediately excited and full of energy, she pulled over the ladder by the wall and began to climb up and down to find the imaginary love letter.
"..." Lou Wenyuan.
He suddenly felt that he was really old, or why couldn't he keep up with her thinking
Are all the kids out there now
But... It's undeniable that having a chatty and energetic person around can really dilute some negative emotions, such as his mood when he sees that photo again.
Melancholy…
She would actually think that look in that look was just melancholy, and it was ridiculous to think that someone would be distressed.
You know, after seeing the photo, his father listened to other people's words and thought that he was an unfamiliar wolf, and since then he has almost been isolated from all the properties of the Lou family.
And his mother... not to mention.
Jiang Rui searched for a long time, but couldn't find anything. She couldn't help but be disappointed: "No, were all the girls in your time so shy? Or are they too blind?"
But she quickly rejoiced: "Fortunately, they don't have the vision, how can they get me? If I were the same age as you, I would definitely write you a love letter every day!"
Looking at the happy look on her face, even though she knew that there was only one other man in her eyes, Lou Wenyuan couldn't help but think, if he was the same age, it seemed not bad.
If I could have known each other earlier, it would not seem unbearable.
Unfortunately, she came too late.
It's too late.
The author has something to say:
Yes, the boss raised real cats and was abandoned by cats, and now he has started to raise a cat again.
The third child: Oh, without a trace of merit, how could anyone like it.
