The set of gold sent by Lu Ning successfully became the most special birthday gift of the day. Under the gazes of everyone, Jing Yi carefully put away this expensive and unique gift.
After giving out the gifts, everyone sang a birthday song for Jing Yi, and then it was time to make a wish and blow out the candles.
When Jingyi was still very young, he made many wishes on his birthday.
He once wished that his parents would come back, and he also wished that his grandfather could spend more time with him.
However, all these wishes came to nothing in the end.
After that, he no longer made a wish.
After so many years, he almost forgot how he felt when he made a wish as a child. Maybe he was just a little flustered with anticipation.
He still clearly remembered how he felt after his wish was not fulfilled.
Slowly, he got used to the sadness and loss again and again.
Seeing that Jing Yi was still not making a wish, Lu Ning probably guessed something in his mind.
Jing Yi's childhood could not really be called happy. Perhaps the scene before him touched upon some of his less-than-happy memories.
If you want to forget bad memories, you can only cover them with good memories.
Lu Ning sighed. For her friend, she rushed over and said, "Make a wish. If God doesn't hear your wish..."
Jing Yi raised his eyes and looked at Lu Ning quietly.
"Then let Teacher Lu fulfill your wish."
In front of the live camera and other people, Lu Ning deliberately called himself Teacher Lu. Sometimes, a change in the name can affect different things.
For example, it affects the direction of the barrage in the live broadcast room.
Sure enough, when she called herself that, everyone in the live broadcast room called Teacher Lu "awesome".
That's so cool!
I also hope that Professor Lu would say this to me.
Woohoo, Mr. Lu, look at your die-hard fans. I have been following you since you appeared on this dating variety show.
Teacher Lu, please fulfill one of my wishes!
Jing Yi heard this and chuckled, "Okay."
He closed his eyes, made a wish in his heart, then opened his eyes and blew out all the candles in one breath.
The guests present applauded one by one. No matter what they thought in their hearts, on the surface, they all expressed their blessings to Jing Yi.
Lu Ning noticed that Mu Baozhu seemed to glance at Jing Yi, but also seemed not to.
She frowned slightly.
Lu Ning didn't want to recognize Jing Yi at first because there was a female protagonist who had bad intentions towards her.
After knowing that Mu Baozhu could replace someone else to kidnap her, she was thankful countless times that Mu Baozhu didn't know about her friendship with Jing Yi. If she knew that she and Jing Yi had a good personal relationship, it was hard to guarantee that Mu Baozhu would not have her eyes on Jing Yi.
After the birthday, it’s time to share the cake.
Jing Yi gave the first and largest piece of cake to Lu Ning, and then it was his turn.
After Lu Ning got the cake, she took a few bites. After tasting it, she walked towards Mu Baozhu, who had been silent all night.
She said without any emotion, "Dad has been transferred to the hospital in the suburbs. Do you need me to take you there today?"
Mu Baozhu remained silent and didn't say a word.
Lu Ning was actually just here to fulfill her promise. She had promised to bring Mu Baozhu to see her father the day after tomorrow at the latest.
After knowing that Mu Baozhu had been kidnapped by someone else, she could take her to see Lu Beicai now without having to wait another day.
But at this time, Mu Baozhu no longer needed Lu Beicai.
Lu Ning guessed that Mu Baozhu would probably never go to see Lu's father again.
In terms of age, she is a few years older than Lu Beicai now, so she can no longer call him dad.
After Lu Ning told Mu Baozhu about this, he simply turned around and left.
What Mu Baozhu was thinking, whether she regretted it or not, these were not things that Lu Ning cared about.
The day after Jing Yi's birthday, the director gave the guests and mentors of "Heart Index" a Qingming holiday.
Director, "The production team will give you two days off. During these two days, you can visit the graves and remember your ancestors. We'll see you after the Qingming Festival."
After the director finished speaking, the audience in the live broadcast room were all shouting their reluctance to leave.
For the first time, I felt that two days seemed so long.
I would miss Teacher Lu very much if I couldn’t see her!
See you on time in two days! The show must start on time!
When the audience was still immersed in the fact that "Heart Index" would not be broadcast live for two days, Mu Baozhu unexpectedly came forward and hugged Pei Xi tightly from behind.
Pei Xi: …
Everyone: …
There is no need to be so dedicated.
Yesterday it was a hug from the front, and now it’s a hug from behind. Is Mu Baozhu now taking the route of the heroine in a tragic drama
It’s true that girls are the ones who get hurt more deeply and can’t get over it in a relationship.
Mu Baozhu probably really loves Pei Xi and doesn't want to give up on him easily.
Lu Ning watched the scene quietly.
What the truth is, only she and Mu Baozhu know it at the moment.
As for how Mu Baozhu feels towards Pei Xi now, probably only she herself knows clearly.
Lu Ning guessed that Mu Baozhu's feelings towards Pei Xi were a mixture of love and hate, but her hatred for him was greater than her love for him, so she wanted to go to hell with Pei Xi and frantically plundered his fortune.
At this time, Su Yu started to hold her face and scream wildly, "Ah, this is too romantic."
Shi Lun said in a cooperative tone, "You can't bear to be apart for two days?"
Su Yu's face was excited. "At present, Xizhu CP is more interesting than Xichun CP. As expected, Xizhu CP is the best!"
After saying that, Su Yu cue Lu Ning as usual, "Teacher Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Ning glanced at her and said calmly, "You are right."
Xizhu CP is the way to go.
Su Xi was flattered.
Now that Lu Ning suddenly stopped arguing with her and started to agree with her, Su Yu and Mo Xin felt a sense of unreality.
Has she been abused for so long that she is almost unaccustomed to not being abused
Seeing that Mu Baozhu started to pester Pei Xi again, Shen Chuchun walked up to her with a dissatisfied look on her face and pulled her back.
She originally thought that Mu Baozhu would hug Pei Xi very tightly, and she might have to pull her for a long time, but she didn't expect that Mu Baozhu would let go as soon as she pulled.
She looked puzzled. Is this hug enough
Shen Chuchun had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart.
When she saw Pei Xi's back was free, she stepped forward and hugged him as well.
When Shen Chuchun watched "Love Index", she fell deeply in love with the domineering CEO Pei Xi.
Every time he looked domineering and affectionate, he attracted her deeply.
He satisfied her fantasy of a significant other.
So she came.
Just came for Pei Xi.
She didn't want to see Pei Xi getting involved with Mu Baozhu again.
Love triangle
Is this something I see on dating variety shows
A bit exciting!
Even if it's just a script, I'm hooked just for these three people! I hope the next development won't disappoint me!
Mu Baozhu lowered her eyes and stood aside.
When Shen Chuchun came to pull her away, she had already plundered most of Pei Xi's fortune for the day, so she simply let go.
Today, she was still fully armed like yesterday, and she even wore a pair of thin gloves on her hands.
There was no way, her hands were so pale and wrinkled, and the backs of her hands were obviously a pair of hands belonging to someone over fifty years old.
She could only hide her originally white and tender hands from others.
Lu Ning didn't care how Mu Baozhu spent her two-day vacation.
She returned home by herself, and early the next morning, she went to the cemetery to visit her deceased mother with her father Lu, who was discharged from the hospital early.
Mother Lu's eternal resting place is not in a private cemetery. I heard from Father Lu that Mother Lu loved the hustle and bustle of life and was most afraid of loneliness. Before she passed away, she specifically told Lu Beicai that she wanted to be buried in a public cemetery. There are many people who rest in peace in the cemetery, so she won't be afraid of loneliness.
Father Lu, who loved his wife, naturally fulfilled her wish.
Lu Ning saw Lu's mother on the tombstone for the first time.
Her face is very gentle, and she looks like a very gentle person, smiling at the camera. She always stays in her youth.
Lu Beicai placed the flowers in front of the tombstone. He lit candles and incense while chatting with Lu's mother, "Xiangting, I came to see you. My daughter is here with me today."
In the past, Lu Beicai was the only one who came to the cemetery.
The original person did not like the gloomy environment of the cemetery and always refused to visit the graves because he had something else to do.
Lu Beicai looked at the quietly burning candle and said to himself, "Are you doing well over there? Ning Ning and I are doing well, and everything is fine at home. You don't have to worry."
After that, Father Lu said to Lu Ning, "Pray to your mother."
Lu Ning clasped his hands together and bowed three times respectfully to the woman on the tombstone.
After sweeping the tomb, the sky suddenly darkened.
There was no rain in the weather forecast, but at this moment, it started to rain.
No wonder people always say "It rains a lot during the Qingming Festival". It rains a lot during this season. It's like the tears of longing.
Neither Lu Ning nor his father brought an umbrella, and they ran down the mountain in a panic. The cemetery was very large, and Lu's mother's tombstone was on the mountain, about a foot away from the bottom of the mountain.
Not long after the father and daughter ran out, a deep voice sounded with a hint of surprise, "Mr. Lu, Teacher Lu?"
Lu Ning and Lu Beicai subconsciously stopped.
Seeing that it was really them, the man stepped forward and took a black umbrella from his secretary and handed it to them, "Mr. Lu, I have an extra umbrella here. You can use this one."
Father Lu glanced at the umbrella in Shen Rong's hand, and then looked at the road down the mountain. There was still a long way to go.
Father Lu suddenly remembered a previous report. The report said that the rain nowadays is acidic and contains some bacteria. Mr. XX from XX city became paralyzed because of being caught in the rain.
He himself didn't care, but he was afraid of getting his daughter, who was a big star, wet.
But even if my daughter doesn't become a star, she can't get wet in the rain.
Thinking of this, Lu Beicai took the black umbrella from Shen Rong's hand and said, "Thank you."
Shen Rong smiled and said, "You're welcome. Mr. Lu, are you here to visit your ancestors' graves?"
Lu Beicai opened the umbrella and covered himself and Lu Ning tightly under it.
"No, I came to visit my late wife."
Deceased wife.
Shen Rong knew that Lu Beicai had been single all this time. He thought Lu Beicai was divorced, but he didn't expect that he was a widower.
He quickly said, "I'm sorry."
Lu Beicai shook his head and walked down the mountain, "It's okay, my wife has passed away a long time ago." Some pain has slowly faded with the passage of time.
Shen Rong smiled and followed their steps, "I guess, your wife has always been a very good person." That's why Lu Beicai remembered her for so long and still hasn't remarried.
When talking about his wife, Lu Beicai became more talkative, "My wife is really good, she is very gentle, cherish her..."
Shen Rong raised his eyebrows and waited patiently for the next words.
Lu Beicai smiled bitterly and shook his head. "My wife passed away so long ago. It doesn't matter if you say something. Her family background was not good. Her father was cold and her mother was mean. She suffered a lot when she was young."
Shen Rong originally thought that Lu Beicai married a wife of equal social status. But after hearing what he said, it seemed that not only was his wife of ordinary birth, but even her family couldn't provide any help
Shen Rong nodded. "This is how it is in some families. Boys are favored over girls."
Lu Beicai shook his head. "It's not that boys are favored over girls. There are only three daughters in her family. My wife is the youngest daughter in the family, but she is the least favored one in the family."
This is quite unusual. Aren't daughters the most doted on in most families
At this time, they had already walked down the mountain while chatting, and Lu Beicai stopped talking in time, "Mr. Shen, thank you for this time."
Shen Rong shook his head. "You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake."
After saying that, he turned to Lu Ning who was standing beside him and said, "Well, Teacher Lu, goodbye."
Lu Ning nodded, "Boss Shen, goodbye."
On the way home, Father Lu frowned and said, "Shen Rong is a little too enthusiastic." Shen Rong's reputation in the circle is actually not very good, so Father Lu had asked Lu Ning to stay away from such people before.
His initiative to send an umbrella today was beyond his expectations.
Father Lu suddenly had a guess in his mind, "Could he be interested in you?"
After saying that, Father Lu looked at Lu Ning who was standing beside him.
Since participating in the dating variety show, Lu Ning is like a different person. She has become mature and stable, no longer like before when she only sees Pei Xi. She is no longer noisy.
If Shen Rong fell in love with his daughter, it didn't seem impossible.
Hearing this, Lu Ning said bluntly, "There is no chance between him and me."
Seeing her decisive attitude, Father Lu joked, "Then who do you have a connection with?"
A handsome face flashed through Lu Ning's mind.
However, she quickly suppressed this thought.
Maybe she has been spending too much time with her friends recently, so she thought of him first.
The two-day Qingming holiday ended quickly.
When Lu Ning returned to the Heartbeat Room, almost all the other guests and mentors had arrived, except Jing Yi.
The group of people waited for a long time before Jing Yi finally arrived.
There was no expression on his cold face, his eyes were indifferent, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Lu Ning hadn't had any dreams for the past two days, so she had no idea how her friend had spent the past two days.
Maybe, she could ask indirectly the next time she dreams
The guests and mentors greeted each other. After greeting Lu Ning, the ice on Jing Yi's face melted, but it was obvious that his mood still hadn't completely calmed down.
In the afternoon, the director announced today's love and affection theme - cleaning.
The director coughed lightly, "The heartbeat room has not been occupied for two days, and there is so much dust. As the saying goes, male and female guests divide the work, and the work is not tiring. Male and female guests working together is also a great way to promote love."
I was smart enough to see through the truth long ago. The director just wanted free hourly labor.
But what the director said is not wrong. By working together, you can see part of a person's character.
Yes, a boy’s character can probably be reflected in this stage.
The director was the general commander. "The places you need to clean today are the living room, the kitchen, and the public restroom on the first floor. In fact, there are a lot of fallen leaves and dust in front of the heartbeat room, and you also need to clean them up. Okay, you guys can assign the specific tasks by yourselves, and the guests should start now!"
Nuonuo raised one hand, "Director, I have a question."
Director: "You say."
"So, the instructor is watching us work?"
Director, "Yes, you guests are here to fall in love. Working is a reflection of a person's character. They need to observe your performance."
Nuonuo nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Four mentors were watching the guests' performance in the mentor room.
The eight guests were the type who did not do any work at home. When the director suddenly issued a cleaning task, they all felt like they had no idea where to start.
Pei Xi was the most strict, and he took the initiative to assign specific tasks. "Meng Heng and Yao Hanhan will clean the living room, Mu Baozhu and Zheng Shu will clean the public toilet, Nuonuo and Xin Nancheng will clean the kitchen, and Shen Chuchun and I will sweep the floor in front of the door. That's it."
As soon as he issued the task, Zheng Shu said with a look of dissatisfaction, "Why do you want me to clean the public toilet?"
Pei Xi looked impatient, "It's not just you, there's also Mu Baozhu, both of you should clean together."
"So, why are Mu Baozhu and I the ones cleaning the toilet?"
Pei Xi's expression was cold. "Sweeping the toilet is too harsh. We are all doing the same job. What do you think?"
Zheng Shu sneered and asked, "Why don't you and Mu Baozhu go clean the toilet?"
Pei Xi was so precious that he would not do such a lowly and dirty job as cleaning the toilet. If he had to do it, it would be done by others.
No one wanted to clean the toilet, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.
Finally, the public toilets have to be put aside for now.
Zheng Shu joined Meng Heng's group, and Mu Baozhu and Pei Xi swept the area in front of the door together.
Pei Xi went out with a broom.
As soon as he went out, he was troubled by the fallen leaves all over the ground. He had never done the job of sweeping the floor in his life.
At home, there is naturally a nanny to do this kind of thing. When he is at school, the tasks that come to him are all easy, such as wiping the blackboard.
Sweeping the floor, he had never done it before. Pei Xi held the broom in his hand, but he was hesitant to move.
The audience in the live broadcast room began to wonder.
Why hasn't he started working yet!
Look up! Are his feet stuck
Why was his hand loosely holding the broom
Lu Ning accidentally saw this comment in the live broadcast room.
She said expressionlessly, "Maybe it's because his hands are inlaid with diamonds."
Su Yu, Shi Lun: …
Audience: Hahahaha!
I’ve heard of diamond-set d-cups, but this is the first time I’ve heard of hand-set diamonds.
However, after Lu Ning said this, the audience actually felt that it made sense.
Because his hands were inlaid with diamonds, he felt that his hands were very delicate, so he refused to touch the dirty broom.
Just when the audience was guessing when Pei Xi would get up, Pei Xi suddenly jumped up from the ground, as if he was performing a high jump on the spot.
He cried out in pain and subconsciously reached back.
The next second, the audience in the live broadcast room watched helplessly as a big yellow dog barked and chased after Pei Xi's butt to bite him.
Everyone:
This is so embarrassing...
Mu Baozhu looked at the scene of Pei Xi being bitten on the buttocks with an indifferent expression.
Ever since Pei Xi asked her and Zheng Shu to sweep the toilet together, there has been no friendship between them.
Soon, Pei Xi's cries of pain attracted many staff members.
When the staff came over and saw this, they immediately came up with shovels to chase the dog away. When Da Huang saw so many people coming, he quickly opened his mouth and ran away.
But at this time, Pei Xi's butt had become unrecognizable.
Pei Xi was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to kill that big yellow dog!
Pei Xi was quickly sent to the hospital. His injuries this time were very serious, with a large piece of his hindquarters bitten off.
According to the news from the hospital, he seemed to be slightly disabled. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Pei Xi, who was so proud that he would not even touch a broom.
Upon hearing the news, all the guests present were silent.
No one expected something like this to happen today. The big yellow dog went crazy for no reason and chased Pei Xi and bit him like a possessed person.
All the guests felt sympathetic, except Mu Baozhu, who slightly raised the corners of her mouth under the mask.
This is what happened when Pei Xi abandoned her!
You deserve it!
Lu Ning was the only one in the audience who noticed Mu Baozhu's pride.
She felt that she couldn't let Mu Baozhu continue to do this.
Pei Xi was already unlucky, and he paid the price for his previous actions.
In the original book, Pei Xi was the main cause of the original body's tragic end. His current situation is also a cycle of cause and effect, retribution.
In this case, it's time for Mu Baozhu's golden finger to disappear.
That night, Lu Ning entered Jing Yi's dream again.
As soon as she fell asleep, Lu Ning felt a strong atmosphere of joy and happiness in the air. She was surprised to find that she was at a wedding.
It was obvious that the family holding the wedding was either rich or noble, and the wedding scene was decorated extremely luxuriously.
The hall is beautifully decorated, with an elegant blue base, just like a real underwater world. The floor is covered with fresh roses of various colors flown in from abroad. The tassels of the crystal chandelier are slightly drooping, and dolls such as mermaids and starfish that match the underwater theme are placed in various places on the venue.
At this moment, there were not many people in the hall, and the guests were probably still outside.
Lu Ning subconsciously walked out. When she was about to leave the hall, she saw a huge wedding photo at the door. The photo showed a young man and woman, who looked very good and well matched.
She didn't recognize the two people in the photo, but the style of the photo was outdated, so the wedding must have been held several years ago.
As soon as Lu Ning walked out of the hall, there was a large green meadow in front of him.
It seemed that the couple was having a lawn wedding. She looked around and found that the wedding had already reached the stage where the bride threw the bouquet to the guests behind her.
I heard that the bride's bouquet carries some kind of sincere blessing.
Anyone who can grab this bouquet of flowers will either soon find himself single or will soon succeed in proposing to someone.
Lu Ning had not attended many weddings. She was not very old before she entered the book, and her peers were still unmarried. Therefore, she had never participated in the bouquet grabbing segment.
This time, she naturally had no intention of grabbing the bouquet.
However, at this time, Lu Ning was sharp-eyed enough to spot his friend among the crowd of people scrambling for the bouquet
