"Please wait!"
Jian Yao chased out of the bar and stopped Lu Yan at the intersection.
Lu Yan turned around and saw Jian Yao trotting over, she was startled.
The two stood at the street corner and stared at each other for a few seconds, the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Jian Yao looked at her suspiciously, and saw that her eyes were flushed, which clearly looked like she had been crying.
"What's the matter with you?"
Lu Yan didn't expect Jian Yao to catch up, and suddenly she was at a loss.
Even Jian Yao herself couldn't figure out why she did this, she didn't know her at all.
She was a little embarrassed, scratched the back of her neck, and explained: "You were listening to me singing just now, and I noticed...you seem a little sad, so I caught up and asked, what happened to you?"
It's so strange, Jian Yao complained silently in her heart, why would she do such a strange thing! People don't know her at all.
Lu Yan rubbed her eyes, waved her hands again and again, and explained: "No, I just think your singing is beautiful and moving."
Jian Yao smiled: "That won't make the audience cry, I still have this bit of self-knowledge, so... what can I help you with, is it because someone bullied you?"
The mother's love that has been missing for so many years finally received a caring greeting today. The sour emotion in Lu Yan's heart, mixed with grievances, surged up all of a sudden, and her eyes were sore again.
This is her mother. Although she has never met her before, Lu Yan knows that she loves her very much, really loves her very much.
Seeing her wiping her tears, Jian Yao felt her heart throbbing suddenly, the pain was unbearable.
She quickly took out a tissue, wiped her tears, and said in a panic: "Don't cry, don't cry, are you broken in love?"
Lu Yan shook her head, feeling ashamed, she quickly wiped her tears with her sleeves: "No, you don't need to worry about me, I just..."
I just miss you a little bit.
Jian Yao looked at the girl's blush face and wet eyes, and for some reason, she felt infinite tenderness in her heart, gently wiped away her tears, and said, "Don't be sad, our band will have a celebration later. party, you join in, play together, and forget about all the unhappy things."
Lu Yan looked up at her, with light in her wet eyes, and asked, "Can we be friends?"
"Of course!" Jian Yao stretched out her hand to her with great enthusiasm: "My name is Jian Yao, I'm 17 years old, and I'm the lead singer of the wild wolf band. How are you!"
Lu Yan quickly took her hand: "I, my name is Lu Yan, Yan Ran's Yan."
"The name is really nice."
"You too."
Lu Yan shook her hand hard, her palm was soft, cool and comfortable.
"Let's go, I'll take you there." Jian Yao pulled Lu Yan and walked towards the Green Vine Bar.
The bar is already getting high. The boys in Jian Yao's band are very handsome, and they are especially good at warming up the scene. The drummer beats a series of rapid drum rhythms, and the bassist bends over to play the electric guitar. They look really cool .
Seeing Jian Yao's return, Qiao Nan rushed up to meet her and took her hand to the stage: "I've been looking for you for a long time, everyone is waiting."
"No rush." Jian Yao brought Lu Yan to the booth of the band, supported her by the shoulders, and asked her to sit down: "What kind of juice do you drink? You can name it, there are all here."
"tomato juice."
"I like tomato juice too." Jian Yao winked at her playfully, and said to the waiter, "Two glasses of tomato juice."
Qiao Nan looked at Lu Yan curiously, and asked Jian Yao in a low voice, "Who is she?"
"The friend I just met is also my little fan." She smiled and asked Lu Yan: "Right?"
Lu Yan nodded.
Qiao Nan stared at Lu Yan's face for a while, showing a slightly unfriendly expression.
"How did you become friends?"
Jian Yao said impatiently: "It's like old friends at first sight, why are you so verbose today?"
Lu Yan looked at Qiao Nan. He was tall, with a straight face, and there were some handsome eyes between his eyebrows, and his clothes were quite out of the ordinary.
The girl's sixth sense made Lu Yan sensitively realize that this boy named Qiao Nan should most likely be her father's rival in love.
"Don't you think she looks familiar?" Qiao Nan looked at Lu Yan and said defensively, "She looks a bit like that."
Jian Yao tilted her head, glanced at her with narrow and beautiful Danfeng eyes, and asked Qiao Nan with a smile: "Who are you talking about?"
"Just a few days ago, that guy harassed you!"
Mentioning him, Jian Yao's complexion showed a trace of complex meaning, it doesn't seem like he likes it, but it's not ... hateful either.
"What do you mean by Lu Zhen? He... is my brother."
Qiao Nan showed an expression of "as expected", and his tone immediately became fierce: "So it's not good to be a brother, and now you have a younger sister, right? You have no energy!"
Lu Yan frowned and muttered in a low voice: "Why are you excited?"
"Get out of here immediately! You are not welcome here!"
Jian Yao immediately changed her face, pushed him, and said angrily: "Why are you yelling at this little girl!"
"I... "
Qiao Nan lost her temper with Jian Yao, and said sullenly: "She is that guy's sister, she must have been sent by him to get close to you on purpose!"
Lu Yan quickly explained: "No! No, Lu Zhen didn't know I was coming."
"Who are you lying to? Go back and tell your brother to let him die for Jian Yao! She won't like him."
Lu Yan was also a little upset, and murmured in a low voice: "You don't know anything when people don't talk."
At this time, the drummer in the band came over with a cool afro head, and said with a smile, "Hey, Mr. Jian, take the girl to play!"
Jian Yao smiled and said, "Yes!"
Afro took a look at Lu Yan, and said in amazement: "Wow, this girl looks...a bit like Master Jian!"
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Lu Yan and Jian Yao in unison.
Jian Yao has typical classic red phoenix eyes, slightly raised, while Lu Yan has completely inherited her father's powerful genes, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that are burning and moving.
In addition, the looks of the two people's brow outlines are quite similar.
"Are we similar? Do we resemble?" Jian Yao seemed very excited, and kept asking the people around her: "Are we really similar?"
"It's really a bit like sisters." Afro commented: "But our Master Jian is more handsome, and this girl looks more cute."
Jian Yao took Lu Yan's hand: "Then we are destined to be sisters!"
Lu Yan nodded vigorously.
Not sisters, but mother and daughter, you are my mother!
But she won't be as impulsive as Lu Zhen, and it's not good to make her mother's first impression for nothing. She decided to be friends with her first. Anyway, the most important thing she lacks now is time. She and her parents still have a long time to go. years can be spent together.
That night, Jian Yao was particularly excited and pulled Lu Yan to sing on stage.
Lu Yan's voice was sweet, while Jian Yao's voice was ethereal and sexy. The audience strongly urged them to sing together, so they tried to sing a few songs, and they hit it off right away, a tacit understanding.
Lu Yan now finally understands why her father is tone-deaf, but she has such a nice voice.
All her talents and talents come from her mother.
She left her, but left her with this heavenly voice.
And she gradually understood why Lu Zhen opposed her singing so much in those years, because every time she spoke, it always brought back the most painful memories in his life.
Always uneasy.
…
At nine o'clock in the evening, Afro drove his convertible car to take Lu Yan home. Jian Yao was also there, and the whole car was bustling with people playing guitar and singing in the car, which was extremely cool.
Since coming back, Lu Yan has never really played so high. Her mother is a person with a special personality. She is sincere and her personal style is particularly obvious.
Such a girl is very unlike his father's taste.
At least for a long time, Lu Yan thought that her mother's personality was similar to Shu Mengfei's, the soft and weak little white flower type.
Obviously, Jian Yao is definitely not that kind of girl.
"Xiaoyan, let's play together next time."
After Lu Yan got off the car, Jian Yao waved goodbye to her.
"Hmm! You should go back early, too."
"I don't have a mobile phone right now, but I have written down your mobile phone." Jian Yao said to Lu Yan, "I will call you."
"Wait for you."
Lu Yan watched them go away and disappeared at the end of the street. She turned around and went back to the mansion. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhen, who was lurking behind the door, was dragged back to her room as soon as she entered.
With a "bang", the door was slammed shut by him. He pressed her against the wall and asked seriously, "Why did you come back with her?"
Lu Yan slapped him: "You still ask me! How dare you hide such a big matter from me!"
Lu Zhen felt a little guilty, and loosened Lu Yan's collar: "Didn't I... want to give you a surprise? After I catch up with your mother, I will bring her to you and ask you if you are happy." .”
Lu Yan shook her head: "Just you fool, you still want to chase after such a cool Jian Yao's mother, dreaming!"
Lu Zhen rubbed her head unceremoniously: "I must have chased her!"
"There are many boys around my mother. The bass player named Qiao Nan looks very handsome."
"I've seen it." Lu Zhen didn't seem to take it seriously, and said confidently, "Compared to your father, it's far behind."
Lu Yan rolled her eyes and said, "That's not enough to keep her close to the water, getting along day and night, caring. Look at you, how many times have you met my mother, and how many times have you been beaten by her for being stupid?"
Lu Zhen lowered her head and pondered, seeming to realize the seriousness of the problem, and asked Lu Yan worriedly: "Then what should I do?"
"From now on, everything is up to me." Lu Yan clutched his collar and shook his shoulders vigorously: "First thing, don't do weird things anymore, don't be stupid again!"
Lu Zhen was dizzy from being shaken by her, and said repeatedly: "I know, I know, why don't I listen to you! Stop shaking, hey... I'm dizzy."
"Then during this period of time, you don't want to go to my mother to smear your presence. Everything is focused on the college entrance examination. This matter will be discussed after the examination."
Lu Zhen said doubtfully, "Is that okay? After the college entrance examination, what if she gets along with someone else?"
Lu Yan pressed him against the wall, and said firmly: "Believe in me, and you must also believe in yourself. Since my mother chose you, she must have her reasons. What you have to do now is... Work hard to become Even better, use your excellence to attract Jian Yao, understand!"
Looking at the girl's determined eyes, Lu Zhen suddenly felt hot and nodded emphatically.
Yes, he wants to stay good and become the best Lu Zhen in the world.
He must believe in fate, and he must also believe in himself.
No matter how many times you start over, love...is something that will never change.
During that time, after listening to Lu Yan's words, Lu Zhen really patiently stopped bothering Jian Yao.
During the first month, the family members went to visit relatives, but Lu Yan insisted on staying at home to read, so she didn't follow.
Of course, Lu Jian didn't force her.
Originally, Lu Zhen also said that he would stay at home to study his homework, but Lu Jian did not agree and insisted on bringing Lu Zhen with him.
After all, he is the eldest son of the family, and he will inherit the property of the Lu Group in the future, and he is slowly preparing to train him.
When Lu Yan woke up that morning, she felt heavy in her head. After getting out of bed and walking a few steps, her whole body felt limp and limp, as if her bones had been pulled out.
She called Aunt Li, the nanny, but no one answered, and then she remembered that Aunt Li also went back to her hometown to visit relatives yesterday.
So she should be the only one at home today.
It's rare for a person to feel at ease and be able to do whatever he wants, but it's really unlucky to have a bad cold.
Lu Yan sucked in her breath with difficulty, lay down on the bed, slept drowsily for most of the day, and finally woke up from hunger at four o'clock in the afternoon.
She reached out from under the quilt, touched the mobile phone on the bed cabinet, and clicked on three missed calls and one text message.
The text message was sent by my father Lu Zhen, saying that relatives were enthusiastic about staying overnight, and neither he nor Lu Jian would come back tonight, so Lu Yan was asked to close the doors and windows at home alone, and not to open the door to strangers.
Lu Yan pursed her lips, wanting to edit a text message to tell Lu Zhen that she was sick and tell him to come back quickly.
But after thinking about it, he and Lu Jian went to the uncle's house in a neighboring city, and even if they rushed back now, they would not get home until midnight.
never mind...
And the three missed calls came from Shen Kuo.
Lu Yan hurriedly called back, the phone only rang with a "beep" and was answered by Shen Kuo—
"Where?"
Lu Yan quickly replied: "At home, I was sleeping just now, and I didn't receive a call."
Shen Kuo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and joked: "Sleeping until now, are you a pig?"
Lu Yan was exhausted all over, and felt a little grievance in her heart, and said, "Uncle Shen, I'm sick..."
The other end of the phone paused for two seconds, Shen Kuo frowned: "Have you taken your medicine?"
"I don't know what medicine to take."
"What about the family?"
"I've gone to relatives, and I'm the only one at home."
Shen Kuo was silent on the phone for a few seconds, then said, "Wait for me for a while."
Hearing what he meant, it seemed that he was going to come over. Lu Yan was a little excited, and with all her strength, she went downstairs and slumped on the sofa.
I deeply feel that her silly father is not as reliable as her boyfriend.
Within 10 minutes, the doorbell rang. Lu Yan tried to jump up from the sofa but failed and almost fell.
She leaned on the wall and walked to the entrance, opened the door for him, and said in a low voice, "It's so fast, you..."
Before the words finished, Lu Yan was stunned.
The tall slender boy standing by the door was not Shen Kuo, but... Ye Jiaqi.
He carried his schoolbag, shook the roast duck bag in his hand, and smiled brightly: "Hello."
"Brother Jiaqi, why are you here?"
"I heard from Lu Zhen that you are studying at home, so I want to come over and review your homework with you, and fix dinner by the way."
"Ah, this, it may not be convenient... convenient."
Before she finished speaking, Ye Jiaqi had already taken off his shoes and entered the house, completely treating this place as his own home.
The Lu family and the Ye family have been friends for decades. Ye Jiaqi has also visited the Lu residence many times since he was a child, so he is very familiar with this place. This is equivalent to half of his home.
Lu Yan saw that everyone had already entered the house, so it was hard to tell them to go out.
"Brother Jiaqi, you can sit wherever you want."
After she finished speaking, she lay back on the sofa, hugged the soft pillow, and looked at him.
Seeing that she was not in a good state of mind, Ye Jiaqi asked with concern: "Are you sick?"
"Um."
"Why didn't you tell your dad when you were sick?"
"It's useless to talk about it. The far water can't quench the near thirst, and he can't come back immediately in a spaceship."
Ye Jiaqi smiled, squatted down beside the sofa, and reached out to touch Lu Yan's forehead—
"There is no fever, it should be a simple cold."
"Um."
"I need to take some medicine."
"What medicine to take?"
"I'm not so sure either."
Ye Jiaqi is also a pampered son, not very good at taking care of others, so he suggested: "Why don't you go to the hospital?"
"Not now."
She still has to wait for Shen Kuo.
"Then you can sleep for a while." Ye Jiaqi stood up.
Lu Yan's eyes lit up: "Brother Jiaqi, go slowly!"
Ye Jiaqi smiled: "I won't leave, you are so sick, how can I leave with peace of mind."
Lu Yan smiled wryly, "I... I'm actually not that serious."
Ye Jiaqi said softly, "Lie down quickly."
"Uh."
The doorbell rang again, and Ye Jiaqi went to open the door. He was obviously a little surprised when he saw the young man outside the door—
"why you?"
Shen Kuo naturally did not expect that it was Ye Jiaqi who opened the door. His face turned cold, and he turned his head to see Lu Yan who was pretending to be dead on the sofa, and said calmly, "I should ask you this."
Ye Jiaqi looked down and saw the vegetables and the medicine box in Shen Kuo's hands. He seemed to understand something, turned sideways with a complicated expression, and let him into the room—
"I came to find Xiaoyan to do homework together, and I happened to see that she was sick, so I stayed to take care of her."
Lu Yan turned over and buried her head in the sofa.
I have nothing to love in life, and I don't want to talk to anyone, so you two talk slowly.
Shen Kuo completely ignored Ye Jiaqi. After entering the room, he went straight to the sofa, knelt down and touched Lu Yan's forehead, then opened the cold medicine box, and got up to get water.
Ye Jiaqi had already handed over the cup of warm water.
Shen Kuo took the cup silently and handed the pill to Lu Yan's mouth.
It's a tacit cooperation.
Lu Yan couldn't continue pretending to be dead, so she opened her eyes and looked at him nervously.
Shen Kuo was expressionless, unable to see any emotional changes.
He has always been like this, all emotions are buried deep in his heart, so he always gives people a sense of aloofness that is difficult to get along with.
"Take the medicine first." He handed over the pills.
Lu Yan took his hand obediently, and swept away a few white pills in his palm.
The soft tip of his tongue licked his palm, tickling like a kitten.
"Shen Kuo, that..."
He didn't ask Lu Yan to explain anything, and interrupted: "I'll make you some porridge first, to warm your body after eating."
Because of the presence of outsiders, Shen Kuo naturally didn't show much concern, and went straight to the kitchen with his pockets in his hands.
Ye Jiaqi was stunned in the living room for a while, then came back to his senses, and said, "Then I'll help in the kitchen."
Lu Yan was lying alone on the sofa in the living room, full of apprehension, should she lean over and take a look at the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Shen Kuo was busy alone, chopping ginger slices and vegetables, putting them into a casserole, and cooking them together with porridge.
Ye Jiaqi is a young man who doesn't touch the spring water with his five fingers, so naturally he can't help. Standing by the wall, his eyes follow Shen Kuo's back.
Whether Shen Kuo is cutting vegetables or cooking, his movements are very skilled. It can be seen that he is a man who often cooks, and his body is full of human fireworks.
Ye Jiaqi rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Shen Kuo turned his back to him, without even turning his head, and said bluntly, "You will be the greatest help if you leave."
Ye Jiaqi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to be so direct.
Yes, he could also tell that from entering the house to now, Shen Kuo had been hovering over his head with low pressure, obviously very unhappy.
It's like... a male beast that has been dormant after being invaded by humans.
Ye Jiaqi turned her head to look at the girl beside the sofa, and the girl had also been secretly observing them. Seeing Ye Jia looking over, she quickly turned over and got into the corner of the sofa.
He guessed that the two should have had an unusual relationship.
He said to Shen Kuo: "The Lu and Ye families are family friends, and Lu Yan is like my sister."
Shen Kuo's tone was not kind: "There is a brother, what kind of brother do you think she is?"
Ye Jiaqi suddenly smiled: "It seems...she didn't tell you about that."
Shen Kuo paused for a moment while stirring the casserole with a spoon, then continued stirring as if nothing had happened.
Ye Jiaqi seemed to relax, washed his hands by the sink, and said threateningly: "Lu Yan is still young, I don't recognize your relationship, and I hope you will respect yourself."
After saying this, he walked out of the kitchen.
"Xiaoyan, since Shen Kuo is here, I'll go home first."
"Oh, Brother Jiaqi, go slowly."
"No need to send it off, just lie down obediently."
…
Ye Jiaqi left, and the empty mansion immediately fell silent, except for the sound of porridge stewing in the casserole.
Shen Kuo held the spoon, his expression did not ease.
She has a secret, Ye Jiaqi knows it, but he doesn't.
