We had hotpot for dinner indeed.
Su Ci couldn't eat spicy food before, but she didn't expect that now that she has a new body, she still can't eat spicy food.
She dipped a little bit of the spicy soup in the hot pot and found it very spicy. Next to her, Lu Zhe was eating the dish she picked for him with a blank expression on his face. The dish was stained with a lot of red oil.
“Isn’t it spicy?” Su Ci originally thought that she could eat spicy food but Lu Zhe couldn’t, but she didn’t expect it to be the exact opposite.
Lu Zhe remained calm, "Not bad."
The soup was boiling hot. In the smoke, Su Ci stared straight at Lu Zhe's lips. His lips were bright red because of the spicy food, and the hard and cold lines on his face softened a little in the steam.
Male beauty is also attractive.
"Lu Zhe, I want to eat spicy food again." Su Ci supported her chin with one hand and looked at him with loving eyes.
Lu Zhe helped her pick up some vegetables from the soup and put them in her bowl. "Are you sure you can eat it?"
She had just eaten something spicy and her eyes were red from coughing.
Su Ci glanced at the boiling red oil in the pot, shook her head, and looked at him with bright eyes, "I won't eat what's in the pot, I'll taste what's on your lips."
The hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and Lu Zhe glanced at her indifferently.
Even though Lu Zhe knew that Su Ci was mean and annoying, every time she said something shocking, it always stretched his patience.
Lu Zhe coughed and said coldly, "We have to board the plane tomorrow."
Su Ci nodded. Of course she knew.
"It's six o'clock now. Our flight is at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. You kiss me once, one hour before boarding the plane, and I will turn back into a rabbit." Su Ci began to count for him.
Even for such an important event as kissing, she remembers the time, don't try to deceive her!
Seeing the girl counting seriously, Lu Zhe's dark eyes showed a faint smile, but it quickly disappeared in the smoke.
"Yeah." I really owe her one.
Hearing Lu Zhe's response, Su Ci's eyes curled up with a little pride. She looked around and saw that there was a green plant in front of them, and the space next to it was empty, which was quite suitable for doing some small things.
Su Ci watched as the waiter walked by, and she urged Lu Zhe, "You can kiss now."
The girl came closer, and he didn't know if it was because of the heavy smoke in the pot, but he saw her dark eyes were full of water, and her small mouth was bright red, very beautiful. He slightly turned his eyes away, and his stiff face was serious, "Wait until we get back."
Su Ci glanced at him and was about to refute him, but her eyes accidentally fell on Lu Zhe's ears, and she saw that the tips of the boy's ears were red.
She leaned over to look in surprise, only to find that half of his ear was red.
Is Lu Zhe shy
Su Ci was a little surprised. She was like a bad guy who had discovered treasure and wanted to open the treasure and take it for herself.
She moved closer to him.
Su Ci reached out and touched the boy's ears, "Lu Zhe, your ears are red."
His grip suddenly tightened, and the chopsticks in Lu Zhe's hand were almost broken. He lowered his eyes, not looking at the fairy next to him with her eyes curved with laughter.
... ...
It was already the afternoon of the next day when we returned to our residence.
Su Ci lay on Lu Zhe's palm, her ruby eyes looking eagerly, she hoped Lu Zhe would kiss her quickly!
Lu Zhe looked at the little rabbit in his palm, which was so anxious that it almost jumped up and down. It was as white as a dumpling and very cute. However, such a cute dumpling turned out to be very bad after it turned into a human.
Not getting a response, Su Ci became even more anxious. She rubbed her head against Lu Zhe's palm, asking him to kiss her quickly.
Lu Zhe slowly put the rabbit on the bed, remembering how the girl pinched his ears, leaned close to his ear, and laughed at his little bastard look with red ears in the hot pot restaurant yesterday. He rubbed its head, then pinched its ears lightly.
The next moment, the rabbit fell limply on the bed.
Lu Zhe curled his lips, and he moved closer to the rabbit with red eyes and limp body, with a smile in his dark eyes.
As it looked at him with pitiful eyes, Lu Zhe lowered his head and kissed it.
The door was closed.
After a while, Su Ci pulled the sheet next to her to cover her naked body. Lu Zhe was so abominable, pinching her ear again.
When Su Ci recovered her strength and came out, she saw Lu Zhe pursing his lips and carrying a backpack.
"Are you going out?" she asked him.
Lu Zhe looked at Su Ci, "I have something to do. I have to be out for two days."
"What happened?" They had just returned from City B and had not yet had a good rest.
"The director of the orphanage is seriously ill. I'm going to go see her." Lu Zhe received a message from his former friend at the orphanage saying that the director was seriously ill and asked him to go back to see her.
Su Ci stared at him with her dark eyes for a while, then she turned around and went back to her room without saying a word.
Lu Zhe lowered his eyes and prepared to walk out. His friend’s car was already waiting outside.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard the sound of a box being pulled from behind.
Su Ci pulled out the suitcase she had just put back and said, "Why didn't you wait for me?" She looked at Lu Zhe with an accusing look in her eyes.
"You don't have to go with us. It takes more than two hours to drive from here and you will be very tired on the way." Besides, the orphanage is located in a remote area and she would not like it if she went there.
Su Ci directly handed the lever in her hand to Lu Zhe, "It's so heavy, please help me hold it. Let's go, let's go, are we going to take a ride?"
Lu Zhe reminded her, "It will be hard along the way."
Su Ci didn't care at all, "I am a hard-working person."
Lu Zhe curled his lips, "Yeah."
I hope the little squeamish girl doesn’t cry.
Lu Zhe’s friend Pang Fu is two years older than Lu Zhe. He did not go to college and opened a small restaurant, and his business is pretty good.
The food in the restaurant is good. His previously thin figure has changed a lot. He started to gain weight before he even reached middle age.
He and Lu Zhe had both received favors from the dean when they were young. When they learned that the dean was seriously ill, the first thing they wanted to do was go back and see her.
Fat Fu looked at the time and saw that Lu Zhe had not come down yet.
Just as he was about to call Lu Zhe, a tall young man came out of the old neighborhood pulling a suitcase.
Fat Fu opened the trunk and lowered the window. "We're going to be gone for two or three days. You're carrying a backpack and a suitcase. This doesn't seem like your style."
At this moment, a girl poked her head out from behind Lu Zhe and said, "The box is mine."
Fat Fu was stunned when he saw the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him.
After Lu Zhe put the suitcase in the trunk of the car, he opened the door and let the girl get in first.
"Azhe, why don't you introduce yourself?"
Fat Fu had never seen such a beautiful girl before, and he felt a little restrained. Fortunately, he had washed the car before coming and sprayed air freshener in the car, otherwise, he would be embarrassed to let such a delicate girl ride in his car.
"Her name is Su Ci." Lu Zhe introduced Fatty Fu to Su Ci, "He is my friend in the orphanage, Qi Fu."
"You can also call me Fat Fu." Fat Fu didn't dare to look directly at Su Ci.
Su Ci felt that the other person not only had a pleasing appearance, but also a pleasing name. She leaned over to take a look at the other person's wrist. The health value was six yellow squares, and he had at least another sixty years of life. He was indeed a blessed person.
Along the way, Su Ci discovered that Lu Zhe's friend had a completely opposite personality to Lu Zhe.
It was hard to force Lu Zhe to say a word, but Fatty Fu kept talking all the way. As the owner of a small restaurant, he greeted different guests every day, met many people, and knew many interesting things.
Su Ci leaned back in the car seat, listening very attentively, and occasionally adding a word or two.
Once the car was on the highway, Fat Fu stopped talking and drove seriously.
Su Ci felt a little sleepy. She had been on a plane for the whole morning and had no time to rest. Now she was in the car again.
She touched the young man who was resting with his eyes closed next to her.
Lu Zhe looked at her.
"I'm sleepy." Su Ci looked at him pitifully.
"It's still two hours before we get there, you should get some sleep first." Lu Zhe's hard and cold face softened a little in the flickering light of the tunnel.
He originally wanted the girl to sleep on his shoulder for a while, but unexpectedly Su Ci reached out and patted his thigh, "I'll sleep here with you."
Lu Zhe: ... ...
Su Ci lay down directly, resting her head on Lu Zhe's thigh.
Su Ci looked up at Lu Zhe and could only see his firm chin. She blinked, "Lu Zhe, your thighs are too hard. It's not comfortable at all."
Lu Zhe usually exercises, so the muscles in his legs are tight, not as delicate and soft as hers.
Lu Zhe lowered his head, "Get up."
There was no way Su Ci would listen to him. She closed her eyes to express her refusal.
Lu Zhe's body gradually relaxed, trying to soften the muscles in his legs. He opened the backpack next to him, took out a clean piece of clothing from it, folded it in half, and lifted the back of the girl's head with one hand and let her rest her head on the clothes.
The air conditioner in the car was a little cold, so he took out another clean piece of clothing and covered Su Ci's legs.
Su Ci felt the warmth on her legs. She opened her eyes, looked at Lu Zhe with appreciation, and then continued to sleep.
Fat Fu looked into the rearview mirror from time to time, and of course he saw what Lu Zhe was doing.
Although Lu Zhe did not say what the relationship between him and Su Ci was, in his opinion, the two of them were more than just friends.
Su Ci was really tired. Not long after she closed her eyes, she fell asleep.
Unconsciously, she turned around and turned her head towards Lu Zhe.
The fair face was close to him, and Lu Zhe froze all over, and quickly reached out to move her head away.
The next second, Su Ci leaned over again uncomfortably and rubbed against him.
Lu Zhe gritted his teeth and pushed the person away again.
Su Ci was woken up by Lu Zhe. She opened her eyes and looked up, meeting the boy's overly dark eyes. "Are we there yet?"
Lu Zhe's face was tense and looked even colder. He pushed her away and said, "No, sit up and sleep."
Su Ci sat up. She thought her pillow had numbed his legs, so she reached out to massage his thighs. "Did I make them numb?"
The girl's hands were soft and weak, and there was no strength at all. Lu Zhe's leg muscles were tightly clenched, and before he lost his composure, he separated her hands and said, "No need."
Su Ci didn't insist. She squinted her eyes and was still very sleepy.
As if she had no bones, she leaned towards Lu Zhe's shoulder, "Then I'll continue sleeping."
Lu Zhe closed his eyes and responded, "Yeah."
It was already evening when we arrived at the orphanage. The orange-yellow setting sun shone on the roof, illuminating the big words "Happy House".
Su Ci had never been to an orphanage. In her impression, an orphanage gave her a gloomy, sad and desolate feeling. But now, looking at the childlike oil paintings on the wall, she suddenly felt that she was completely wrong.
The person who came out to greet them was a young girl who was a staff member of the orphanage.
"The dean should be awake by now. Follow me." The staff member led the way.
When they passed by a room that looked like a classroom, they saw the children inside looking at them with curious and innocent eyes.
Su Ci walked forward and secretly hooked Lu Zhe's finger.
Lu Zhe turned his head to look at her.
Su Ci smiled, she was wondering if Lu Zhe was as cute as these little kids when he was a child.
The dean just came back from the hospital yesterday. She was lying in bed, and she looked obviously ill.
"It's Xiaozhe, right?" The old dean has a lot of silver hair on his head and his face is marked by the years. His eyebrows are straight and kind, and his temperament is peaceful. The old dean is very popular among children.
"Dean, it's me." Seeing the old dean sitting up, Lu Zhe hurried forward to put a pillow behind her back.
"You've grown up, Xiaozhe, but you haven't changed. You're still so careful." The old dean took the glasses from the bedside table and put them on. She found a strange girl next to her, "Who is this..."
"Hello, Dean's grandmother. I'm Lu Zhe's friend. I came with him to see you." Su Ci stepped forward. She was delicate and beautiful, and when she was coaxing people, she spoke sweet words as if they were free. "Lu Zhe often mentioned you to me, saying that you were kind and always treated him well..."
The old dean followed Su Ci's words and talked about Lu Zhe's childhood.
Lu Zhe had never been a talkative kid since he was young. Usually, other kids would get together to play games, but he would sit alone in a corner, holding a book. It was unknown whether he could understand it or not, but he could stay there all day long.
Moreover, he never had a tantrum like other children. He never cried or argued with other children. He was a very easy child to take care of.
Su Ci could imagine a smaller version of Lu Zhe, with a tense face and a cold expression, sitting in a small corner with a book in his hand.
Cute, and sensible enough to make people feel distressed.
Su Ci raised her eyes and glanced at the young man standing upright beside her. Little Lu Zhe had grown up but was still a pitiful little boy.
Lu Zhe poured a cup of warm water for the old dean.
The old dean realized that her mouth was dry from talking so much. She took the water from Lu Zhe and said, "Xiao Zhe is a very considerate child."
"Director, I have brought you a lot of good things, please praise me." Fat Fu came in from outside, he took some supplies out of the car and asked the staff to distribute them to the children.
"You've gained weight because of Qi Fu." The old dean had a smile on his wrinkled face.
"It's me. The food there is so good that I can't control my mouth, so I start to stare." Fatty Fu came over, "Are you feeling better, old man?"
"Okay, okay, okay." The old dean said with a smile.
On the side, Su Ci looked at the old dean's hand holding the water cup, and the smile disappeared from her pretty little face.
The old dean’s life value is a red line with the words: 2 months marked next to it.
Su Ci called out Fugui, "Did the old dean die of illness?"
Fugui: Yes, Master, you can’t save her. Otherwise, it would have been eager to ask you to save her.
Su Ci: "I know."
She can still lend a helping hand to prevent accidents from happening, but she is powerless to help with illnesses.
The old dean was not in good spirits. After chatting with her for a while, they left the room.
"I asked the staff member who takes care of the director, and she told me that the doctor said the director's condition is not very good. The old director may be aware of her physical condition and does not want to be hospitalized again." In fact, Pang Fu also knows that the old director's current physical condition is just a matter of time.
He sighed deeply.
Lu Zhe: "Let's rest here tonight. Tomorrow, when the dean is in better spirits, we will have a good talk with her. Even if she doesn't want to go to the hospital again, we will talk to her."
"You're right. I'll go ask the staff if there are any vacant rooms and sleep here tonight." This village is remote and there are no hotels in the village. It takes more than half an hour to drive to the town center.
"We'll stay here tonight. If you can't adapt, I'll take you out." Lu Zhe looked at Su Ci next to him.
"No need." Su Ci shook her head.
Lu Zhe could sleep here when he was a child. Could it be that she is not as good as little Lu Zhe
There are two vacant rooms in the orphanage, each with eight bunk beds. Correspondingly, there are eight small cabinets in the room, probably for the children to put their things.
The bed was already covered with a uniform sky blue quilt cover.
Su Ci had never had the experience of sleeping on a bunk bed. She didn't dare sleep on the upper bed, fearing that she would roll off the upper bed in the middle of the night. She chose to sleep on the lower bed.
The orphanage was very quiet at night, with only the occasional sounds of children playing and laughing.
Su Ci tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The bunk bed was made of hardwood boards with only a thin layer of cushion on top. The wooden boards hurt Su Ci's whole body.
She picked up her phone and sent a message directly to Lu Zhe: Lu Zhe, I can't sleep.
In the room at the other end.
Fat Fu is chatting with Lu Zhe.
"Are you and Su Ci a couple?" He had been curious all the way and couldn't help but ask.
Lu Zhe wiped his hair and said coldly, "No."
Fatty Fu could see the difference between Lu Zhe and Su Ci, but when he thought about Lu Zhe's physical condition, he paused and whispered, "You two are quite a good match."
One is handsome, the other is beautiful, they seem to be a perfect match no matter how you look at them.
Fat Fu asked Lu Zhe, "Does Su Ci know about your illness?"
" Um."
Su Ci knew about Lu Zhe's illness, but was still willing to walk with him, "Su Ci likes you, right?"
Along the way, he saw Su Ci sticking to Lu Zhe, and between the two of them, it was obvious that Su Ci was the more proactive.
"No." Lu Zhe lowered his eyes.
He knew that Su Ci kissed him and followed him in order to maintain her human form.
Instead of liking him.
Fat Fu felt that he was not mistaken, "Of course not, I can see that she..."
His head was covered by the towel thrown by Lu Zhe.
"I won't live long." Lu Zhe's words interrupted Fatty Fu's words.
Fat Fu pulled off the towel on his head. He saw Lu Zhe's stiff and cold face under the incandescent light. His expression was indifferent, with a hint of self-mockery at the corner of his lips.
At this moment, a knock on the door broke the awkwardness in the room.
"Who's knocking on the door?" Fat Fu was about to get up to open the door when Lu Zhe had already walked to the door.
The door was opened.
Standing outside was Su Ci, who was wearing a light mist blue dress. She was so beautiful that even in the dim light, she was dazzling.
"Something wrong?" Lu Zhe asked her.
"Lu Zhe, you didn't reply to my message." Su Ci looked at him accusingly.
"I wasn't looking at my phone just now, what's wrong?"
"I can't sleep." She was a little embarrassed, "The bed is too hard." She didn't admit that she was delicate, it was just her body that was delicate.
Lu Zhe slept on the bunk beds here for several years when he was a child, so he knew that girls would not be used to it.
"I'll find you some soft cushions to use as a cushion first." Su Ci nodded. There was no way she would refuse.
Fat Fu watched Lu Zhe being called away by Su Ci.
He still remembered that Lu Zhe didn't like to have contact with girls when he was a child, and it was the same when he grew up. And now, he just saw Lu Zhe being pulled away by Su Ci's hand, and he didn't shake it off.
Tsk, the body is more honest than the mouth.
The village is located in a remote suburb. Not only is the air here good, but at night the sky is full of stars.
Su Ci was not in a hurry to go back and make the bed. She asked Lu Zhe to take her for a walk in the orphanage.
There is a small grass slope behind the orphanage, with many slides and other recreational facilities built next to it.
Su Ci sat on the children's swing. She turned her head to look at the boy who was pushing the swing for her. "People are born, grow old, get sick and die."
She couldn't tell Lu Zhe that the old dean only had two months to live.
Lu Zhe looked at her, "I know."
"If the person who likes you is gone, there will be another substitute." If the old dean is really gone, she will also care about and take care of Lu Zhe and make good money to support him.
Lu Zhe glanced at her dimly. It was indeed easy for her to find someone who liked her.
Su Ci didn't know whether Lu Zhe had received her hint or not. She looked at him firmly and said, "No matter who leaves you, I will never leave you." After all, her life and his were tied together.
Lu Zhe pushed the swing. He saw the girl's misty blue skirt blooming under the moonlight, "Yeah."
Su Ci's eyes curled up, and her little teardrop mole looked particularly charming in the night. She asked Lu Zhe, "Lu Zhe, there is no one here. People say that kissing on the grass slope is particularly exciting. Do you want to try it?"
Lu Zhe was already used to the girl teasing him from time to time. He looked at her deeply and said, "Tomorrow I will ask the dean to help issue a certificate, and then I will take you to the police station to apply for an ID card."
Su Ci has no ID card and can hardly move forward in this society.
Su Ci nodded, "Okay."
She motioned for Lu Zhe to stop, got off the swing, and pulled Lu Zhe to the grassy slope next to her. "Come on, lie down, and I'll kiss you."
Under the moonlight, the girl who was as beautiful as a fairy had a look of desire on her face.
Lu Zhe held his forehead with his hand, and the coldness in his eyes was dispelled. No matter how cold-hearted a person is, he would be forced into no resistance by this evil-minded girl.
Su Ci looked at the handsome young man lying on the grass slope. She lay on his chest, pressing him with her body as if she had no bones. She laughed so hard that her nose trembled, and her nose felt a little sour. "Lu Zhe, you are so nice."
Since he didn’t have enough to eat at night, Pang Fu ran to a small store near the orphanage and bought two bowls of instant noodles.
He was slurping his noodles when he saw the door of the room suddenly open.
Fat Fu looked at Lu Zhe who walked in and almost spit out the noodles in his mouth.
He swallowed hard, wiped his mouth, and said in surprise: "Oh my god, you rolled in the haystack? Why are you covered in hay?"
Lu Zhe did not respond.
Thinking of the girl lying on his chest and licking his lips again and again, the tips of Lu Zhe's ears turned red under his short black hair.
