Shen Kuo brought over the steaming porridge, Lu Yan stood up and sat down on the carpet beside the coffee table.
"I'm so hungry!" She reached out to pick up the porridge bowl.
Shen Kuo patted her hand away and said, "I'll eat it later when it's cold."
So Lu Yan sat on the coffee table with her knees hugged, patiently waiting for the steaming bowl of vegetable porridge to cool down.
Seeing stars in her eyes, Shen Kuo was really hungry. After a moment of silence, he took the porridge bowl over, stirred the small spoon, and blew gently to let the porridge cool down as soon as possible.
Lu Yan squatted beside him and kept asking, "Are you ready... Are you all right?"
Shen Kuo glanced at her speechlessly, and murmured: "Idiot."
The little girl said aggrievedly, "Why are you scolding me?"
"You don't feel well, why don't you call me immediately."
"I thought, just sleep for a while."
Shen Kuo narrowed his eyes, looked at her sluggish appearance, pursed his lips, and continued to stir the hot porridge silently.
His emotions are not restrained, but Lu Yan can feel his long and deep feelings from his considerate actions.
Such a man will always give people an inexplicable stability and peace of mind.
"Okay, you can eat." Shen Kuo handed the porridge to her.
Lu Yan smiled slyly, and said deliberately: "You have no strength in your hands, feed me."
Shen Kuo knew that the little girl was deliberately acting coquettishly, so he said indifferently, "Dream."
Lu Yan curled her lips and picked up the spoon by herself.
In fact, sometimes, you can clearly feel the difference of the times.
Shen Kuo was very different from the boys of Lu Yan's time. He had the tenacious character of his father's generation. He had not been infected by all kinds of information in the Internet age, and his mind was more pure.
Especially in terms of feelings, he doesn't even know how to please girls, and many emotions are brewing in his heart.
After all, in that era, the basic communication between men and women in love was still maintained by love letters and paper, without too many sticky and greasy ingredients, let alone any rustic love words.
But it is precisely because of this that the occasional warmth is even more precious.
Lu Yan pounded the porridge with a spoon, and the thick vegetable porridge made her thinner and thinner. Shen Kuo clasped his index finger and tapped the table: "Concentrate on eating."
"Oh!" The little girl put down the spoon, picked up the bowl and took a small sip: "Oh!"
Got scalded.
Shen Kuo was a little helpless, took the spoon in her hand, scooped up the white rice porridge to dry for a few seconds, and fed it to her lips—
"Open your mouth."
Lu Yan opened her mouth obediently, and ate the rice porridge he fed.
Just spoon after spoon, the porridge in the bowl bottomed out, and Lu Yan didn't feel full at all, perhaps all her attention was on the man in front of her.
She leaned the back of her head on his arm and said with a smile: "Some people say no, but their bodies are very honest..."
Shen Kuo got up to clean up the dishes, unceremoniously let her head be empty.
"This is not an example."
"It's delicious!"
When Shen Kuo stood up, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed.
After washing the dishes, it was getting late, and the sound of crackling fireworks and firecrackers came from outside the window, which was very lively.
Shen Kuo came out of the kitchen and saw the little girl sitting on the sofa in a fluffy beige cotton pajamas, her thick black hair showed her fair and moist skin, she looked really cute.
He didn't dare to linger on her for too long, he hurriedly moved away, looked at the luxurious wooden living room, and chatted casually: "Your house is very big."
"Yeah, I don't like living in such a big house. When my dad and I were two people, a two-bedroom house was more than enough, and it was special..."
Lu Yan was half-spoken, but suddenly stopped.
Shen Kuo seemed to be waiting for her next words, but there was nothing left. He looked at her: "What else is special?"
"No, nothing."
Lu Yan knew that she had slipped her tongue, so she looked around and said, "Come and sit, don't stand."
He walked to the other end of the sofa and sat down, looked out the window at night, and asked casually, "The family won't come back tonight?"
"Well, we should wait until tomorrow morning to visit relatives."
"Lu Yan, when did you recover from your illness?"
"What disease?"
Shen Kuo looked at her: "I remember that many people knew that the youngest daughter of the Lu family was ill, but you are normal now."
Lu Yan panicked, her eyes flickered, obviously flustered—
"I... that's all."
The subtle changes in her expression couldn't satisfy Shen Kuo, which seemed to confirm Ye Jiaqi's words, the little girl had a secret, and she deliberately kept it from him.
Shen Kuo stared at her closely: "Really?"
Lu Yan's nervous heartstrings collapsed to the extreme, and at the moment when she was about to be unbearable and broke, the overhead light at home flickered, and went out with a "Zi".
The whole room was plunged into silent darkness.
power cut
Shen Kuo went to the window and looked out. Many people came out of their homes and asked about the situation of the neighbors.
"It shouldn't be a trip." He said: "Everyone has a power outage."
In the darkness, Lu Yan felt relieved.
This man's aura is too strong, it is difficult for anyone to remain calm under his scorching gaze.
Lu Yan felt that if she was watched by him for a few seconds, the secret would be hidden.
And this secret, she can tell anyone, but she can't let Shen Kuo know.
Absolutely, absolutely not let him know.
Shen Kuo didn't need to look to know that the little girl was nervous, and the anxious factor in the air was instantly ignited.
She doesn't say it now, of course she has her reasons, and Shen Kuo doesn't force her.
He has always been a man who knows how to advance and retreat.
So he stopped entangled in this topic, walked over, stood in front of the sofa, and said, "The electricity in the residential area should not stop for too long."
"Then what if you don't call?"
"Then sleep."
"...I can't sleep."
"So timid?"
"Yes."
Perhaps it was because she didn't have a mother, Lu Yan was naturally timid. When she was a child, no matter how busy Lu Zhen was at work, she had to go home every night to be with her daughter.
Now I am a little more courageous, and I can sleep alone at home with the lights on, but if there is a power outage, I can’t do it, I can’t, if there is something in the dark, she can’t turn on the lights...
I shiver just thinking about it.
Shen Kuo joked, "So, you want me to stay?"
"I didn't say that!"
"Okay, bye then."
"Bye bye, bye bye!"
Shen Kuo got up to leave, but Lu Yan still duplicity grabbed the hem of his clothes and tugged lightly.
"You...you'd better wait for the electricity to come before leaving."
She was about to cry.
Shen Kuo was just teasing her to relieve the tense atmosphere just now, so he didn't leave and sat on the sofa again
Lu Yan subconsciously approached Shen Kuo and sat beside him. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, Lu Yan felt that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and she could even hear his steady and gentle breathing.
"Strange, how could there be a power outage?"
The young man didn't answer, he seemed to be thinking about something, Lu Yan talked on his own and didn't disturb him.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Shen Kuo's burning palm suddenly covered the back of her hand, covering her gently.
Lu Yan's whole body trembled, and she looked at him suddenly.
In the darkness, only his tall and straight silhouette could be seen, but his face, let alone his expression, could not be seen clearly.
His palms were rough and thick, as if he was using some strength, he held the back of her hand tightly.
Lu Yan could also hear her own heartbeat—
Bang bang, bang bang bang bang!
The two tacitly agreed, neither spoke, but held hands tightly. The surrounding atmosphere became more and more ambiguous as the two fell silent.
hold... hold hands
During this period of time when the two got along, Shen Kuo had been in a relatively restrained state, and never took the initiative to touch her.
Most of the time, it's Lu Yan who flirts blindly, and flirts after flirting.
Suddenly he is like this...
Lu Yan was flustered, her face was flushed to the base of her neck.
In the darkness, Shen Kuo kept holding her hand and did not let go.
Lu Yan clenched her fist tightly, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
She was afraid of his next move.
Because at this time... Her mind was really blank, and she didn't know how to react at all.
Fortunately, Shen Kuo did nothing. Two minutes later, the light suddenly came on, and he immediately let go of her, as if nothing happened just now.
He stood up and said, "There's a call, I should go back."
"Well, be careful on the road."
Lu Yan dared not look up at him.
The boy hurried to the door, then turned back abruptly: "I didn't take the key."
He picked up the keychain that had just dropped on the table and left at a faster pace.
It was only then that Lu Yan noticed that his cheeks seemed to be a little flushed.
Shen Kuo actually... blushed!
A man like him would be shy and nervous.
However, when he was nervous, Lu Yan was not nervous at all.
If there is a camera at this time, she must take a picture of his blushing, and show it to the cold, reserved and serious "Master Shen" twenty years later.
What kind of scene is this.
"Be careful when you go home."
"Um."
When he ran away, Lu Yan burst into a smile, inexplicably feeling that the shy Shen Kuo...was a little cute.
With the start of the new semester, Shen Kuo and Lu Zhen's third-year seniors have entered an intense review and preparation stage.
Lu Zhen wants to gain Lu Jian's approval on the one hand, and wants to become a better version of herself so that Jian Yao can see it.
So he regained his morale and started the final sprint.
And Shen Kuo also put all his energy into his studies.
Lu Yan knew that he might be smart, but he was by no means the kind of person who "studied casually and could get full marks" in the eyes of his classmates. All his grades came from his hard work and dedication.
Therefore, Lu Yan also consciously became a sensible girlfriend and did not disturb Shen Kuo's study.
The peaceful life was broken on a sunny afternoon at the end of March.
Shi Ya called a few girls and blocked Lu Yan at the back door of the deserted small garden in the school.
Lu Yan hasn't seen Shi Ya for a long time.
Since leaving the Lu Zhai, no one has controlled Shi Ya, and her style has also changed, and she has begun to develop in the direction of a "society sister". earrings.
Lu Yan had already heard about her changes. She heard that her boyfriend Wu Tianhan was a mean-spirited guy. His family was rich and powerful, and he always bullied his classmates at school.
When Shi Ya followed such a man, she was naturally "infected".
In the past, she was always afraid of being looked down upon by others, and her mind was very sensitive and fragile. Now she has a backer and reliance like Wu Tianhan, and she gradually becomes arrogant and domineering, as if she wants to take what she suffered in the past All the suffocation was vented.
She stood arrogantly in front of Lu Yan, and at the same time, several "little sisters" who were also dressed out of the ordinary around her unceremoniously blocked Lu Yan's way.
Lu Yan was keenly aware of the hostility in their eyes, ready to "make trouble".
"Sister, long time no see." Shi Ya whistled and greeted her with a smile, calm and calm.
Lu Yan said bluntly: "Since you have left the Lu family, don't let your sister and sister scream."
After all, the two have nothing to do with each other.
Shi Ya didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with Lu Yan, and asked bluntly, "You complained to my mother about Wu Tianhan and me, right?"
"I don't have that much free time. I'm going to tell your mother about you."
Lu Yan said casually: "It's your mother's arrow that always hits Lu Zhen, I just distracted her."
Anyway, Shi Ya asked Shi Xuexian to teach her a lesson, saying that she has no ladylike demeanor at all now, how to marry into a noble family in the future, how to tie the hearts of men, the young masters of those rich families will not like her now ...
This made Shi Ya very embarrassed.
There was a lot of anger in her stomach, and she was going to settle the score with Lu Yan today.
She winked at the little girls around her, and they understood, striding towards Lu Yan.
Lu Yan took a few steps back defensively, but they still grabbed her arms.
"What are you doing, let go!"
They didn't do anything to her, they just held her hands.
Shi Ya walked up to Lu Yan, patted her on the face with a sneer, and said, "Aren't you very good at it? At home, you always rely on yourself as the daughter of the Lu family to make things difficult for me."
Lu Yan gritted her teeth and said, "It's not that I want to make things difficult for you, it's that your mother is too extreme and doesn't leave room for Lu Zhen, it's that you can't see your position clearly, and expect things that don't belong to you."
The corners of Shi Ya's eyes trembled: "My mother said that as long as I can grab it with my hands, it belongs to me!"
"grab?"
There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Lu Yan's mouth: "Don't you still want to be a lady and take the stolen things as your own? This is not a lady, but a bandit."
"you... "
Shi Ya couldn't say no to Lu Yan, her face turned pale with anger, and she raised her hand to slap her.
Lu Yan closed her eyes.
But the slap did not fall, and a few seconds later, she opened her eyes and saw Jian Yao tightly gripping Shi Ya's wrist, and threw her to the edge of the grass.
Shi Ya was staggered by the strength of her hand and nearly fell down. She was still angry and looked at Jian Yao: "You... why are you meddling in your own business."
Jian Yao said with a sullen face, "I hate girls slapping girls the most in my life. It's quite vicious."
Shi Ya was indignant and silent.
Jian Yao walked up to Lu Yan, glanced at them with cold eyes, and said, "Let her go."
The young ladies all knew Jian Yao, and her reputation as "Master Jian" was quite important among the girls, so they didn't dare to provoke her, so they let Lu Yan go.
Lu Yan immediately hid behind her own mother.
Jian Yao casually grabbed a girl's collar, threw her heavily at Shi Ya, and said coldly: "Lu Yan is my friend, if you move one of her fingers, I'll break ten of your fingers, don't believe me You can try it."
Of course the young girls know that Jian Yao is definitely not someone to be messed with. She did what she said. When she entered the school in the first year of high school, she kicked a male classmate who spoke hooliganism to her into the quiet lake of the school. The male student couldn't use water and almost died.
Later, the male classmate's parents came to the school and asked Jian Yao to make an apology, otherwise they would use the "relationship" at home to make her drop out of school.
Not only did Jian Yao not apologize, but she even reported the matter to the media. The matter became so big that it was even published in the newspapers, and the so-called "relationship" in the male classmate's family was brought down.
Since then, no one in the school dared to confront Jian Yao head-on.
She admits to death and keeps her word, so she is definitely not someone to be messed with.
Shi Ya originally didn't want to just give up like this, but the sisters around her were scared, and she couldn't handle the current situation by herself, so she could only say a few harsh words, and then left angrily.
Lu Yan finally relaxed, covered her chest, and exhaled: "It's so dangerous, I almost broke her hand..."
If my mother hadn't arrived in time, she would definitely let Shi Ya do a good job of "school violence" today.
Shi Ya hated her to the bottom of her heart, and today she was definitely entertained with a double "luxury set meal" of physical and mental torture.
Jian Yao asked Lu Yan: "How could you provoke such a girl?"
Lu Yan rubbed the corners of her eyes helplessly: "Don't mention it, it's all a bunch of broken things at home."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jian Yao didn't ask further questions.
"Mom... no, Jian Yao, thank you, hey, let me buy you something to drink."
Jian Yao smiled and said, "What's the big deal? I just happened to pass by. It's easy to do, but we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's sit down and chat. I'll treat you to some juice."
Lu Yan didn't refuse either, and walked out of the school gate together with Jian Yao, and came to the juice shop on the street.
The last time the environment in the bar was noisy, the two of them couldn't have a good chat, but this time they sat down, they both planned to get to know each other well.
Of course, Lu Yan came here to learn more about what kind of person her mother was.
But Jian Yao really didn't know why, she fell in love with Lu Yan the first time she saw her, and fell in love with her... as if she had known her in her previous life.
From her narration, Lu Yan learned that Jian Yao is a sophomore in high school this year, and she is in the same grade as Lu Yan. Since the third year of junior high school, she has formed a band with Qiao Nan and the others. While chasing her dreams, she can also earn some extra money.
"Do you want to be a star?" Lu Yan asked her.
Jian Yao chewed on the juice straw and said with a smile: "Which kid who plays music doesn't want to stand on that star-studded stage and make people all over the country and even the world... scream for him and let everyone sing his song Song, let the concert become a chorus."
Her words instantly ignited Lu Yan's originally silent heart, her eyes sparkled, she held Jian Yao's hand, ready to move.
"I... I also want to sing, I also want more people to hear my voice, and I also want to hold a concert!"
"That's great!" Jian Yao said excitedly, "You join us and play together!"
In this matter, the two almost hit it off.
In her last life, her dream was snuffed out by Lu Zhen in the cradle, but now, meeting her mother and being able to play music with her mother is a very happy thing for her.
"By the way, can you play the piano?" Jian Yao asked her.
"Yes, in my last life... No, I played piano since elementary school."
Jian Yao immediately grabbed her hand: "That would be great! There will be a chorus competition at the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment for the school celebration next month, and we are short of someone who can play the piano. Do you want to join us?"
"sure."
"Then it's settled."
Lu Yanli suddenly remembered something, and asked Jian Yao, "But I remember the school celebration chorus, it was Shu Mengfei
play the piano? "
Jian Yao waved her hand, a look of disgust appeared on her face: "She lied to the teachers in the entertainment department that she could play the piano, but in fact she couldn't at all, she was just learning it now, she stuttered, she couldn't get on stage at all, and she also said that she could play the piano on stage In the future, let the teacher play the soundtrack at that time. I am also speechless, what should she do to play the soundtrack."
The corner of Lu Yan's mouth twitched: "It's really courageous to insist on going on stage even if you don't know how to play."
Jian Yao shrugged: "I don't know what she's thinking, maybe she just thinks playing the piano is cool."
Lu Yan discovered that her mother was really a straight girl of steel.
Shu Mengfei insisted on playing the piano on stage, of course not because she was cool. Most likely, she still wants to show off in front of others and fulfill her title of "talented girl" with both virtue and skill.
"Okay, mom, you can tell the teacher in the entertainment department, I can go."
The corners of Jian Yao's eyes were filled with smiles: "Then it's a deal!"
"Um."
Jian Yao squeezed the straw, mashed the juice, and suddenly asked, "Hey, did you call me mom just now?"
"Pfft!" Lu Yan squirted out a mouthful of juice, spraying Jian Yao's face.
Jian Yao: ...
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Lu Yan quickly took out a tissue and wiped her face: "I... I made a mistake, young lady."
Jian Yao didn't mind this, and said with a smile: "Haha, since they are all called mothers, I can't blame you, right?"
Lu Yan blinked and looked at her innocently.
Jian Yao touched her forehead, and shouted deliberately jokingly: "Good girl?"
"Hey…?"
