As soon as Lu Nianzhen said this, Ning Yuqi showed a surprised expression as if she had heard the story of a fairy tale.
"What?" Lu Nianzhen didn't expect Ning Yuqi to react like this. Seeing her stunned, only when she was reluctant to break up with Xue Ming, "He has already treated you like this, what are you still missing? ?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell off, Ning Yuqi "pouched" and laughed.
Lu Nianzhen frowned, and the two beautiful sword eyebrows were tightened together. He didn't know what was so funny about such a serious topic.
When Ning Yuqi saw him sinking, she immediately suppressed her smile, coughed slightly, and then said: "You misunderstood, Xue Ming is not my boyfriend."
"Then what's your relationship with him?" Although Lu Nianzhen was half-believing, he knew from Ning Yuqi that she and Xue Ming were not lovers, but it made him feel a little better.
Ning Yuqi lowered her head for a moment and asked tentatively: "Do you really want to hear it?"
Lu Nianzhen almost subconsciously wanted to nod his head, but he didn't want her to be embarrassed. He thought about it for a moment or replied: "If you are willing to say it, I think I will be a good listener."
When he said this, his expression was sincere, and some part of Ning Yuqi's heart softened inexplicably.
"Actually, Xue Ming is my half-brother. You saw me and him arguing outside the restaurant in the afternoon because he went to the store and asked me for money." Ning Yuqi didn't want to mention this. Unhappy things, but I was afraid that I could not eliminate the doubt in Lu Nianzhen's heart if I took it away.
It was just that Lu Nianzhen was still puzzled after hearing what he said, "Why does he ask you for money?"
Ning Yuqi said indifferently: "Because my mother's health has not been very good, Xue Ming and his father, that is, my stepfather, are not willing to go out to work. All the expenses in the family are counting on me."
Ning Yuqi originally had a happy family, but when her father died in a car accident when she was eight years old, everything changed after her mother remarried.
"I worked hard to go to school and won the opportunity to study abroad. I just hope that one day I can get rid of them." Ning Yuqi didn't dare to see Lu Nianzhen, her voice was dull, "I work and study abroad, and I have to pay my family regularly every month. , But Xue Ming lost hundreds of thousands of gambling money with his group of friends and friends, so he actually asked me to pay him back."
Of course, Ning Yuqi would not agree. For this reason, she had a big fight with her family. She just didn't answer the phone call from home for a few days. Xue Ming asked her friend to borrow money and flew to Seattle to find her.
"I finally didn't feel so bored in telling the matter." After Ning Yuqi finished speaking, she deliberately let out a heavy breath, as if to pour out all the worries that had come in the past few days.
Lu Nianzhen's heart became heavier after listening to her. Just when he was about to find words to comfort Ning Yuqi, Ning Yuqi suddenly smiled at him and patted him on the shoulder pretentiously.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, I am definitely not saying these words to win your sympathy, and you don't need to think that I am very pitiful." Ning Yuqi said, making a cheering gesture, "I believe these are temporary. , There is nothing you can't get through."
Lu Nianzhen was stunned. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak girl would contain such a powerful force. It was like a grass growing toward the sun, although it was inconspicuous, it would never be easily defeated.
Ning Yuqi went to class in the morning and rushed to work in the shop in the afternoon. At night, she was forcibly dragged to the hospital for examination by Lu Nianzhen. After some tossing, she was exhausted and fell asleep leaning on the co-driver.
When Lu Nianzhen drove halfway, he remembered that he forgot to ask Ning Yuqi's house where he lived, but he couldn't bear to wake her up after watching her sleep soundly.
After thinking about it, he took her back to his home, gave her his warm big bed, and stayed on the sofa for one night.
Ning Yuqi was awakened by the noise from the kitchen the next morning. She opened her eyes almost subconsciously and sat up from her sex.
Who is in the kitchen? I have always lived alone, so how can there be noises in the kitchen? Could it be that a thief entered the house
Thinking about it this way, Ning Yuqi's heart suddenly mentioned her throat, and she was about to lift the quilt to get out of bed, only to realize that the quilt covering her body was extremely soft and fluffy, completely different from the cheap goods she bought in the mall.
Ning Yuqi looked around in hindsight. The spacious and tidy bedroom is simple but not out of style. It is not difficult to see that the owner of the house has excellent taste.
When her gaze fell on the photo frame on the bedside table, there was a knock on the door, and Lu Nianzhen asked gently, "Are you awake? Would you like to come out for some porridge?"
Ning Yuqi suddenly opened her mouth slightly in surprise, and her brain was blank.
How could I be at Lu Nianzhen's house and still sleep in his sex? However, she didn’t drank in pieces yesterday. After she calmed down, she remembered everything after a while. It should be that she fell asleep in Lu Nianzhen’s car last night, and he took herself home in desperation. .
Thinking that she had caused Lu Nianzhen trouble, Ning Yuqi punched the quilt in shame, and hurriedly replied outside the door: "Get up soon!"
After that, she hurriedly got out of bed to tidy up. She didn't know where the shoes were kicked, and she couldn't figure out the time to find them, so she ran to the living room barefoot.
Lu Nianzhen filled the porridge and came out of the kitchen, and as soon as he turned around, he was almost hit by Ning Yuqi, and hurriedly stepped back for a while before he escaped.
"Why is it always frizzy?" Although Lu Nianzhen complained so, the corner of his mouth was grinning.
Ning Yuqi scratched her head embarrassedly, and said hurriedly: "Give me the porridge, I can do it myself."
Lu Nianzhen laughed and raised her chin to beckon her to go to the side of the dining table. His eyes were gentle but his attitude could not be resisted. Ning Yuqi had to be obedient.
When drinking porridge, Ning Yuqi always remembered what happened last night. She wanted to thank Lu Nianzhen, but she couldn't find a good time, until the bowl of porridge bottomed out, she still didn't have time to say thank you.
After breakfast, Lu Nianzhen suddenly said: "You don't want to go to the restaurant to work today. I have already asked you to leave."
"What?" Ning Yuqi was taken aback, thinking it was a problem with her ears.
Seeing her dazedly, Lu Nianzhen smiled dozingly, and explained: "Xue Ming knows that you are working there, so he should be going to block you today. You should avoid the limelight these days."
Ning Yuqi's heart warmed and the corners of her eyes were a little moist. Since her father passed away, no one has cared about herself so much.
She never dared to hope that one day she could receive such meticulous attention from others, especially this person was Lu Nianzhen, who she had secretly loved for half a year but never dared to approach him for half a step.
Since the first time this man went to eat in the restaurant where she works, she has fallen in love with him.
Lu Nianzhen was startled when she saw that she was about to cry. He only thought that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly came to wipe her tears, but Ning Yuqi stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes and said, "Mr. Lu, thank you. "
Lu Nianzhen thought this fool, he was just a small effort, so why should I thank him
But before he could speak, he heard Ning Yuqi continue to say: "But I appreciate your kindness. I will still go to the restaurant today. There are still the last few days of this month. If you ask for leave, you will be deducted for full attendance."
"Then what if Xue Ming finds you again?" Lu Nianzhen lowered his face. As long as he thought of the potential danger Ning Yuqi might face, his heart would be tightly held together.
Ning Yuqi didn't have a good way to deal with it, but she didn't want to trouble Lu Nianzhen any more, he was so kind to herself, she was afraid she would fall into it.
"Then you don't have to worry about Mr. Lu, Xue Ming and I are still related by blood. He won't really treat me like that." In order to relieve Lu Nianzhen, she pretended to smile easily, but that laughed. But it did not reach the bottom of the eye.
Lu Nianzhen knew that she was just self-comforting, and he might leave her alone if she changed to other things, but there was no room for discussion on this matter.
"No, you are not allowed to go to the restaurant today. If you are worried about the full attendance bonus, so please..." Lu Nianzhen pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of an idea, "Today you follow me to where I work, I hire you Help me organize some information."
Ning Yuqi hurriedly shook her head and said: "No way, no way, your job is so profound and difficult to understand, I must not be able to do it well."
Lu Nianzhen said: "It's not difficult, it's just data recording and document organization. I will charge you by the hour. You can adapt first. If you really can't do it, it's not too late to do other considerations."
Ning Yuqi faintly guessed that it was Lu Nianzhen who was helping herself, but he had already said that, so he refused again with good intentions, and had to agree.
Lu Nianzhen worked in a large independent office. The office area of Qin Shuyi was next door. He inevitably had a face-to-face meeting with Qin Shuyi when he took Ning Yuqi through the corridor.
Lu Nianzhen didn't think there was any problem. If the laboratory is a secret place and people are not allowed to enter the office at will, the office is relatively free, and it doesn't matter if there are irrelevant personnel staying there.
But Qin Shuyi almost wrinkled at the first glance when she saw Ning Yuqi, and did not hide her.
"Nianzhen, come here, I want to talk to you." Qin Shuyi glanced at Ning Yuqi casually, as if how shameful she was.
Seeing her arrogant attitude, Ning Yuqi felt quite uneasy, especially when she said "Nianzhen", she seemed to be taking an oath of sovereignty, telling herself how close she and Lu Nianzhen were.
But I didn't have the right to refute it. After all, she and Lu Nianzhen had some fate, if you really said it, you might not even be a friend.
She watched Lu Nianzhen follow Qin Shuyi into the office, and she couldn't help feeling a little sad.
The moment the office door closed, Qin Shuyi seemed to be unable to wait for a moment to ask Ge: "Nianzhen, how can you bring such a person here?"
"What kind of person?" Lu Nianzhen was unhappy, wondering why Qin Shuyi had such a big reaction, and his words were full of contempt for Ning Yuqi.
Qin Shuyi realized that she had said the wrong thing, but she couldn't restrain her anger, and couldn't help but counterattack: "Nianzhen, a little girl of this age wants to get close to you, and there are some means, you just follow her way. Huh?"
Lu Nianzhen's eyes darkened, and his tone of voice became chilly when he spoke again: "Senior Sister, I hope you know what you are talking about now?"
Qin Shuyi chuckles disdainfully: "Nianzhen, I have known you for seven years, what kind of love is between us? Are you threatening me for her now?"
Lu Nianzhen felt that the Qin Shuyi in front of him was terribly unfamiliar, and he didn't want to bother with her, and said directly: "If this is what you want to talk to me about, forgive me if I have work to do, I will leave first."
"Lu Nianzhen!" As soon as Lu Nianzhen turned his head, he heard Qin Shuyi call out his name by name and surname.
Without turning his head, he asked coldly: "What else is there?"
Qin Shuyi's voice became crying for a second: "Do you like her? If you want to be with her, what should I do?"
Lu Nianzhen was disturbed by a sentence she caught off guard, not because of her pitiful attitude, but only because of the word "like" in her words.
Do you like Ning Yuqi
He didn't deny it, but replied almost coldly: "Senior Sister, this is my personal matter, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."
He is not dull about feelings, and he doesn't like procrastination. Qin Shuyi's words have reached this point. How could he still not understand what she meant, but he didn't intend to give her any hope.
"Senior Sister, I don't like you. I don't like it now, and I won't be in the future.
His words were like a sentence, causing Qin Shuyi's tears to gush out like a bank.
But he didn't care about it, he just wanted to return to Ning Yuqi immediately. I followed Qin Shuyi into the office for so long, I wonder if that fool would have misunderstood
As soon as Lu Nianzhen left the office, he immediately began to look for Ning Yuqi, but Ning Yuqi was no longer in the corridor. He panicked for no apparent reason, worried that she would sneak back to the restaurant to work while he was not paying attention.
Lu Nianzhen clenched his fists in anger, and was about to take out his mobile phone to call Ning Yuqi, but heard Ning Yuqi's voice from behind him.
"Mr. Lu, are you looking for me?"
Lu Nianzhen turned his head and looked at Ning Yuqi who was standing in front of him. He almost couldn't help but hugged her into his arms.
"Where did you go?" He was so angry that his chest rose and fell, and he tried his best to stabilize his voice.
Ning Yuqi sensed that he seemed to be angry, but she didn't know what she had done wrong, and replied innocently, "I went outside to answer the phone."
After listening to her explanation, Lu Nianzhen felt that the questioning of Master Bo Xing was inexplicable, and he sighed after a long while: "Don't run around in the future, do you know? Tell me if you have something to do in advance."
Ning Yuqi nodded blankly, although she didn't know why Lu Nianzhen suddenly mentioned such a serious topic.
"Also, if someone shows you a look in the future, you will just fight back." Lu Nianzhen said as he took out the key and opened the office door.
"Do you mean... the lady just now?" Ning Yuqi glanced at the direction of Qin Shuyi's office, and intuitively told her that the conversation between Lu Nianzhen and Qin Shuyi must be very unpleasant.
