Lin Fang's face turned pale, and he subconsciously clenched the hand hanging by his side. He couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Lu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shizhi on New Year's Eve last year. Mian's mood suddenly stirred up again, and he stared at her blankly, speechless for a moment.
My heart is sometimes sour and sometimes astringent, and sometimes it is slightly sweet and slightly gratified.
She said she wanted to send him off! It seems that she has not forgotten herself, and she is not estranged from herself.
However, he secretly smiled wryly, he didn't want her to send him off, he wanted her to keep him! But he knew that in this life, he would never be able to wait until that day, because she already had someone in her heart, but that person was not him!
Lin Xin felt a pain in his heart, subconsciously turned his head to avoid Lu Xiaoshu's gaze, and said with a faint smile, "I had something to do at the time, so I didn't have time to talk about it. In fact, it's just that, I won't blame you!"
"Even so, etiquette is always important!" Lu Xiaoshu laughed.
Lin Fang reluctantly smiled, etiquette? After all, she was born with him! Otherwise, how can you say that etiquette is not etiquette!
"Let's go! My brother and adoptive parents know you're here. They might be so happy! By the way, my sister is going to get married after the Chinese New Year. Do you know who she is going to marry? Hee hee, it's our hometown Zhou Yuan, that little fat man of the Zhou family! Hey, he is an infatuated man. After waiting for my sister for so many years, he can be regarded as a lover who finally got married!"
Lu Xiaoshu only cared about talking happily, but didn't notice that Lin Fang felt even more sad after hearing her words, and his face turned slightly pale.
"Really?" Lin Fang forced a smile, and said shyly, "Congratulations to them! Lovers finally get married..."
Lu Xiaoshu laughed again: "I also heard from my adoptive parents that thanks to your words back then, otherwise, that little fat man in the Zhou family might not have waited for so many years! If you go back then, don't forget to go Have a glass of wedding wine!"
"Well, that's for sure." Lin Fang nodded and smiled.
The two chatted for a while, Lu Xiaoshu still smiled and asked Lin Fang to go to Lu's house with her, but Lin Fang kept hemming and refusing.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "Why didn't you go? You don't look down on our family, do you?"
What Lu Xiaoshu said was a joke.
Lin Fang hurriedly said: "No, no, how could I!"
"Then what are you waiting for? They are all from my hometown, so you are too out of touch!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled.
"I—" Lin Fang's expression was really a little anxious, but he couldn't find any words to refuse.
Don't say he is anxious, the followers beside him are even more anxious than him, and they have already muttered a lot of words in their hearts.
"My lord, Miss Lu!" The attendant finally couldn't stand it any longer, coughed and laughed and said, "Miss Lu, of course our lord wants to meet our old friend, but we can't just go just like that. It’s still in the residence! You have to go back and get it!”
Lu Xiaoshu has never cared much about the status of these formalities, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the sudden interruption of the attendant, but she laughed when she heard him say that, waved her hands and said with a smile: "I have to ask for a gift no matter what. ? My adoptive father, adoptive mother and elder brother are such people? Could it be that you are not allowed in without a gift!"
"That's not what you said!" The entourage rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not a valuable thing, but it's expensive because it's all brought from hometown Tete! What a rarity!"
Lu Xiaoshu was taken aback, glanced at Lin Fang and said with a smile: "You really have a heart! My mother doesn't talk about the dried bamboo shoots and bacon at our house all day long!"
"Coincidentally, our young master has brought a lot, which is specially prepared for Master Lu and Mrs. Lu!" The attendant smiled, and before Lin Fang could open his mouth, he took advantage of the situation and said with a smile: "Miss Lu, why don't you take care of yourself?" Let's go to the residence together to get it? Then go to visit Master Lu and Mrs. Lu's house?"
Lin Fang opened his mouth and was about to say something, when the boy raised his eyelids, and stared at him coldly, Lin Fang's chest froze, and his words of refusal were abruptly blocked.
Lu Xiaoshu didn't notice the little action between the entourage and Lin Fang, and after hearing what the entourage said, he thought it was a good idea, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
"My lord, Miss Lu, please!" The attendant hurriedly agreed, stood sideways with a smile on his face, bowed his head and raised his hands in a "please" gesture.
Lin Fang had no choice but to glance at him lightly, and had no choice but to go out. Lu Xiaoshu followed with a smile.
After getting into the carriage, they drove all the way to Lin Fang's residence.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help asking what he was doing in Beijing this time. How long are you going to stay? Is everything going smoothly? Is it by car or by boat
However, Lin Fang seemed to be preoccupied, and his mind was distracted from time to time, or he would answer irrelevant questions. When the attendant saw him, he smiled and said that his son was tired on the road and hadn't rested yet, so he was not in good spirits.
After hearing this, Lin Fang forced a smile, and his complexion became even worse.
Lu Xiaoshu took a closer look at him and saw that it wasn't like that, he hurriedly asked concerned: "What's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold? Did you see the doctor take the medicine?"
The attendant hurriedly laughed and said: "It's all because the slave didn't take good care of him, which caused the young master to be ill for two days on the road. Although he has recovered, his body is still a little weak..."
"Yeah...it's all right now!" Lin Fang forced a smile and nodded.
Only then did Lu Xiaoshu feel relieved, nodded with an "oh", and said with a smile, "In this case, you should rest well!" Then he hesitated: "Or, let's forget about it today! You should go back and rest first Well, it won't be too late to visit my adoptive parents after a while!"
"Then why are we so upset, young master? This slave knows best!" The attendant laughed and said, "Besides, Miss Lu has already come here. Wouldn't it be troublesome to go back? We You should also move around more, so your health will heal faster!"
Lin Fang nodded slightly and forced a smile.
Lu Xiaoshu saw that he didn't have any objections, and besides, he had already come here, but what the attendant said was right, so he smiled and said: "That's right, let's go today!"
The attendant laughed along with him, afraid that Lu Xiaoshu would be bored, so he smiled and talked with her.
Lu Xiaoshu didn't take it seriously, nor did he mean to look down on him, so he also talked to him.
Just as he was talking, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the three people in the carriage couldn't help but swayed to and fro. The driver hurriedly apologized, saying that the wheel accidentally hit a big rock on the road.
The coachman controlled the horse to retreat, staggered the big rock, and the carriage started to drive steadily again.
Lu Xiaoshu suddenly felt a little stuffy in the carriage, so he stretched out his hand and opened the curtain to look out. It was too late for the attendant to stop him, so he had to sit back with a calm expression on his face.
Lu Xiaoshu was stunned, and asked Lin Fang in surprise: "I remember you bought a house in Dongcheng? Why - this carriage is out of the city? You live outside the city?"
Lin Fang faltered, nodded reluctantly and said: "This time, because there are some things that have not been dealt with this time... For the time being, I am living outside the city for the time being..."
The attendant was also busy nodding and laughing.
Lu Xiaoshu's eyes flickered, and suddenly his expression changed, he stared at Lin Fang and shouted his name loudly.
"What's wrong!" Lin Fang was taken aback by her unexpectedly, and looked at her in a daze.
Lu Xiaoshu's face was frosty, and he asked coldly, "What tricks are you playing with me! Where are you taking me?"
Lin Xin trembled, stared at her in a daze, and couldn't speak for a while.
"Say it! Where are you taking me!" Lu Xiaoshu's eyes were as sharp as knives and cold.
Lin Fang had never seen her look at him like this before, and felt sad for a moment. He stared at her blankly and forgot to answer.
"Miss Lu—"
The attendant was in a hurry and wanted to explain, but Lu Xiaoshu glared at him and scolded: "Shut up! This girl is talking to your master, you don't have the right to interrupt! Lin Fang, why don't you interrupt?" I say!"
explain? What else can I say? Lin Fang could only smile bitterly in his heart at this moment! He simply lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help being angry, but she didn't think about other things, but mistakenly thought that Lin Fang hadn't let go, and still had that kind of thought.
If he really still had that kind of thought and wanted to be alone with her, she wouldn't be angry, but he deceived herself and didn't know where he wanted to take him, which was unbearable!
"You have nothing to say?" Lu Xiaoshu said coldly: "I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person! You lied to me, I still treat you as a friend in vain!"
"Miss Lu, even if you don't let the servant talk about it, the slave has to say it! Please forgive me, Miss Lu!" The attendant couldn't help but said: "Miss Lu, you have wronged our son! If you are sorry, no one will forgive you. I won’t lie to anyone! The house in the city has been unoccupied for a long time, and it is being cleaned! Besides, we still have a batch of goods coming to the capital, and we rented a warehouse on the outskirts of the city to store it. For the scenery nearby, I decided to live there for a few days! My son also guessed that Miss Lu would like it, so I didn’t say anything! I didn’t expect Miss Lu to be so angry... "
It's no wonder that Lu Xiaoshu believes in these words that are barely plausible! Not only did he not believe it, but he became more and more suspicious.
At this time, she suddenly realized that Lin Fang's expression was a little weird along the way, and she couldn't explain why, but it was different from before! Moreover, the entourage next to him obviously doesn't look like a entourage—talks too much, and doesn't seem to take the master seriously in his speech and expression!
