When Lou Ming received the news, he had just finished dinner. He stared at the phone for a long time, and a very strange feeling filled his heart. The mixed flavors were hard to describe.
"He Qi." Lou Ming raised his head and called He Qi who was clearing the table.
"The Third Young Master?" He Qi stopped the movement in his hand, and stood still waiting for the Third Young Master's command.
"Is there still food at home?" Lou Ming asked.
"San Shao, you haven't eaten enough?" He Qi glanced at the small half of the food left on the table, a little confused.
"No, forget it..." Lou Ming sighed, "You go out and buy some food and drinks and come back. Buy some girls like to eat."
Girl? who? He Qi grew his mouth in shock.
Knowing that Chen Yu was coming, Lou Ming didn’t continue his daytime research, instead he found a book and sat in the living room to read it. Only half of the book was turned over. He Qi bought a half of the various snacks. The coffee table, the person who said that he was coming early in the morning, did not show up.
Lou Ming looked at the time and found that it was almost ten o'clock, it was already this point, and the little girl estimated that she would not be here today. Lou Ming guessed that the little girl was chatting with her family and forgot about coming here. After all, on the first day of the holiday, the Chen family and his wife would definitely have to ask for warmth if they haven't seen their daughter for so long.
It was just a faint loss that suddenly appeared, Lou Ming shook his head with a wry smile, and it really was so long since he had been in normal social interactions that he cared so much. Lou Ming closed the book in his hand and planned to return to the room to rest after putting it back in the study.
"Three young masters." At this moment, He Qi walked in from the outside and said with a complicated expression, "Miss Chen's said that I have made an appointment with you to come over tonight?"
It turns out that the girl mentioned by the third master refers to Miss Chen's family, which made him almost crooked.
"..." Lou Ming, who just thought someone would not come, had a complicated expression, "Let her come in."
The moment Chen Yu stepped into the yard, the strong spiritual energy pierced her bones, making her comfortable and almost groaning. Also feeling comfortable was the compass that was held by Chen Yu in his pocket, which was also shocked with excitement. Down.
"Be reserved." Chen Yu took out the compass, knocked it in his hand, and then looked at the yard curiously. The last time I came here, I was so hasty that I didn't even notice that there was a spiritual gathering formation in the yard.
"Miss Chen Yu, the third master is waiting for you in the living room." He Qi reminded.
Chen Yu let out a cry, and ran in with a brisk expression. He raised his head and met Lou Ming's hesitant eyes.
"Third brother, I'm here." Chen Yu greeted him vigorously, and at a glance, he swallowed a pair of snacks on the coffee table next to him, swallowing uncontrollably, and Chen Yu suddenly flashed a pair of big eyes. Asked expectantly, "Are these... are they for me?"
I can't blame her for being narcissistic, it's really because the layout pattern is clearly for the guests.
"Yeah." Lou Ming nodded, originally prepared for her.
"Thank you third brother." Chen Yu cheered, and jumped on the sofa and started eating. Although she is rich now, she has always been a good child who is thrifty and has never been so corrupt.
Lou Ming turned around with a complicated expression, and waited for the little girl to take two bites before asking aloud: "You are here, do Mayor Chen and Madam Chen know?"
"They don't know." Chen Yu replied while eating, "I only sneaked out after they fell asleep, otherwise let them know that I was running out at night, that would be bad."
"You also know it's not good to run out at night?" Lou Ming raised his eyebrows.
"I know." Chen Yu replied naturally.
"..." For the first time, the knowledgeable Young Master Lou San didn't know how to answer the call. The good and the bad are let you say, what else do you let me say? Lou Sanxiao thought a little discouraged.
"Can I watch TV?" Chen Yu asked while eating chocolate chip cookies, turning his head.
"Let's see." Lou Ming waited for Chen Yu to turn on the TV with the remote control, and then asked, "Xi... Girl, when are you going to go back?" After all, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
"Ah, don't worry about me, I will leave before dawn." After Chen Yu finished speaking, she changed a seat on the sand, took the remote control in one hand, and held a pillow in her arms, smoothly. Muttered softly, "This pillow is so hard."
Dawn? Lou Ming's face turned dark. He looked at the compass that Chen Yu casually placed on the corner of the table and said, "You put the compass here, and you can pick it up tomorrow. You don't have to stay here all night."
"But I have to absorb aura too." Chen Yu said pitifully, "I lost a lot of aura when I caught a ghost on the mountain that day, and I haven't recovered yet."
Thinking of what happened that day, Lou Ming's gaze crossed the little girl's right arm. He saw that the wound had been scarred and he had almost recovered, so he relaxed and said, "You can come back in the daytime tomorrow."
"Oh, I came to your house sneakily anyway. What's the difference between day and night," Chen Yu said, "And I have to make excuses for going out during the day. My mother will definitely ask."
Come to your house sneakily, what's the difference between day and night? Such an ambiguous sentence made Lou Ming's forehead bulge uncontrollably.
"No." Lou Ming frowned, "At most twelve o'clock, you must go back."
Seeing Lou Ming, Chen Yu seemed to be a little angry. Although he didn't understand why, he nodded honestly.
Lou Ming's complexion was slightly dark, and when he was about to educate the little girl about the hazards of staying alone in the yard full of men, the phone on the sofa suddenly rang.
Chen Yu met, grabbed the phone to please and handed it to Lou Ming.
Lou Ming took the phone and found that it was a video call from his mother. Lou Ming turned his head and said to Chen Yu, "You are watching TV here, I will go up and take a call."
After speaking, Lou Ming took the mobile phone back to the study on the second floor, and then connected to the video communication.
Lou Mu is a graceful and luxurious old lady who is nearly 60 years old, with a faint smile on her elegant and delicate face: "Why is it so long to answer the phone? Is it fascinating to draw drawings again?"
Lou Ming smiled as an acquiescence, and then asked strangely: "Mom, why haven't you slept so late?"
The mother-in-law pays great attention to maintenance when she gets old, and usually goes to bed before ten o'clock.
"Of course there is a reason." After the mother had finished speaking, the screen of the phone suddenly moved. It seemed that the mother was handing the phone to another person.
"Uncle!" A clear and loud voice of a child suddenly came from the other end of the phone, and a four or five-year-old boy suddenly appeared on the other end of the video.
"Confusion?" Lou Ming looked surprised.
"Uncle, I came back to see my grandpa and grandmother today, why are you not at home?" With a small face, I complained, "I've grown up so much and haven't seen my uncle yet. When will you come to see me, uncle?"
Congcong is the son of Lou Jingxin, the eldest sister of Lou Ming. Lou Ming's brother-in-law is a diplomat, and his family is stationed abroad all year round. Lou Jingxin takes her children back to China to visit relatives several times a year, but Lou Ming has never seen her nephew once in so many years. After all, the child's resistance is too weak. Lou Ming is afraid that the evil spirit on his body will hurt the child, so he has been meeting with the Congcong video all these years. But the weird thing is that the three uncles in the family love Lou Ming the most.
"Don't make trouble with your uncle." Lou Jingxin said, taking the phone from Congcong's hand, "Lou Ming, I didn't interrupt you to rest."
"no."
"As soon as we came home from the airport, we murmured and clamored to see you, saying that he was going to give you a gift he prepared. I didn't know that he also prepared a gift." Lou Jingxin said with a smile.
"Really?" Lou Ming also looked curious.
"Uncle." He rubbed against his mother, "I brought you a gift. If you come over tomorrow, I will show it to you."
Before Lou Ming had time to speak, he heard the elder sister say to his son: "Confusion, your uncle is busy with work, and my mother will send you a gift later."
"No, no, uncle, will you come back to see me." With a look of expectation, "I seem to have a cold today. Will you come and see me tomorrow?"
"If you have a cold, go to bed early." Lou Jingxin picked up the phone and said to Lou Ming here, "Don't bother you, I'll take the gurgling to sleep first, probably because the air conditioner on the plane is too cold. Some catch cold."
"good."
Lou Ming stared at the dark mobile phone screen, and his family's faces flashed in front of him, with a pitiful voice in his ears that wanted him to go home. It seems that it has been more than ten years, and I have never eaten a meal with my family again. The juniors in the family have never seen one.
In the early years, my mother and eldest sister always regretted that he could not be there every New Year's Day. The whole family was not really reunited, but after a long time, everyone gradually got used to it. Last year, when Lou Ming called to pay the New Year's Eve during the Chinese New Year, the family dinner seemed to have already started.
Lou Ming is not angry, but a little bit sad. After staying alone for a long time, he will gradually get used to being alone, but he will also be more likely to miss home. What's more, obviously his home is only a 20-minute drive away.
"Hahaha..." There was a sudden burst of laughter downstairs, and the soldiers patrolling the yard almost rushed in with guns. He Qi stopped him and explained that it was Miss Chen Jia who was watching a variety show.
Lou Ming came back to his senses and put down the mobile phone in his hand. He walked out of the study and stood on the corridor on the second floor. He looked at the smiling girl in the living room, his eyes lit up suddenly.
He turned and went downstairs, walked to Chen Yu's side, and said aloud: "Girl, I want you to do me a favor."
Chen Yu, who couldn't control herself while laughing while watching variety shows, finally stopped laughing, and asked casually, "What's busy?"
"Can you give me another Talisman?" Lou Ming remembers Chen Yu's words. A Talisman can last for two hours, deducting forty minutes of driving back and forth, and he can stay at home for one hour and twenty minutes. .
"Okay, when do you want it." Although drawing the magic charm is laborious, you can come to the small courtyard anytime to rub the aura at any time. Staying here will recover after a few hours.
"Tomorrow morning." Lou Ming's voice was faintly excited.
So early the next morning, Chen Yu made an excuse to make an appointment with his classmates to go shopping. Under Chen's mother's expression that my daughter finally made friends, she left the house and crooked into the courtyard of the Lou's house.
