When Shen Jize walked to the sofa, Lu Rong just sat and looked up at him. Under such focused and intense gazes, Shen Jize felt a throbbing in his heart, as if a twig that had just sprung was gently scratching that spot.
He resisted the urge to pull her into his arms, and only stretched out his hand to the fair forehead, wanting to flick it lightly.
Only halfway through his hand, Lu Rong straightened his upper body and brought his face closer, rubbed his fingers a few times, and showed a slightly shy smile thoughtfully.
Shen Jize's breath was stagnant, and he stopped touching his forehead, but silently withdrew his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to lunch."
"Um."
Lu Rong put his feet on the ground and put on his shoes. Shen Jize turned his head and looked to the side. The hand that Lu Rong had rubbed was hanging on the side of his trousers, and he twirled his fingers slightly.
Lu Rong took the wet towel covering his eyes to the bathroom, cleaned it under the tap, and hung it on the towel rack beside him.
When he came out, Shen Jize had already folded the blankets on the sofa. He was naturally holding his old backpack in his left hand, looked down at the phone in his right hand, and stood at the door with his back facing him.
Looking at the tall figure, Lu Rong suddenly felt a strong sense of unreality.
Mingming was still anxiously thinking about how to get close to his brother in the morning, but before noon, he was carrying his backpack, waiting for him to have lunch together.
Lu Rong walked slowly to the center of the room and called softly, "Brother."
Shen Jize was wearing earphones, telling Xiao Chu to cancel the afternoon schedule by voice, he didn't notice the movement behind him, and he didn't hear the voice of brother.
As soon as he finished the call and took off the headset, he heard Lu Rong calling him: "Brother!"
The voice was a little hurried and flustered, Shen Jize quickly turned around and replied, "Yes."
When he turned his head and saw Lu Rong, he couldn't help being slightly stunned. I saw him standing in the middle of the room, his expression was not very good, and he was staring at himself nervously, holding his trouser legs with both hands.
"What's wrong?" Shen Jize pinched the earphones and asked, "Not feeling well?"
"I called you just now..." Lu Rong glanced at his earphones, and was obviously relieved, "I don't feel uncomfortable, I just called you."
Shen Jize seemed to have realized, and said, "I didn't hear it just now, so I didn't mean to ignore you."
"I know." Lu Rong hurried forward to hold Shen Jize's hand, and found that both of his hands were empty, so he took his right wrist and squeezed it secretly twice, as if he was confirming something.
This look of worrying about gains and losses fell into Shen Jize's eyes, and he couldn't help feeling sore and soft in his heart. Putting the phone into the coat pocket, he naturally wanted to hold Lu Rong's hand, he took it back after a pause, pushed the door and went out.
Lu Rong hurriedly followed.
As soon as the door was closed, the door to the opposite room opened. Xiao Chu seemed to be waiting at the door a long time ago. He peeked at Lu Rong and asked, "Brother An, can we change the schedule for the afternoon?"
"Change it."
Xiao Chu's eyes fell on the old backpack he was carrying, and he recognized that it belonged to Lu Rong, his pupils dilated slightly.
Is this the brother An who always takes his things from others
It wasn't until Shen Jize took two steps that he caught up and asked, "The bodyguard..."
"Let's talk later." Shen Jize replied.
"OK."
"Xiao Chu, you can help me with something in the afternoon." Shen Jize pointed to Lu Rong beside him: "Go to the coffee shop where he works, and quit the job for him."
Lu Rong let out an ah, and stopped: "Brother."
Shen Jize looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"Well... nothing."
Shen Jize raised his eyebrows.
"I'd better resign myself, and I'll go later." Lu Rong said.
Since Shen Jize asked him to resign, he never thought of objecting in his subconscious, and he took it for granted that he should resign. What's more, he didn't plan to work in that coffee shop for a long time, but the boss and colleagues have treated him well, so it's better to resign in person.
"Okay, I'll accompany you after lunch."
Shen Jize pressed the elevator button and led people into the elevator, leaving behind Xiao Chu who was still standing there.
At the underground garage, Shen Jize pressed the car key in his hand, and a black off-road vehicle flashed its lights.
"Get in the car," he said.
Lu Rong trotted to the side of the car, reached out to pull the rear door, and quickly got in. After sitting down, he found that Shen Jize was not driving, but only looked at him from the rearview mirror of the car.
"Why, what's wrong?" Lu Rong asked.
Shen Jize said, "Sit in front."
"Oh." Lu Rong got out of the car and hurriedly got into the co-pilot from outside the car.
He held his backpack in his arms, put his hands neatly on his knees, and waited for Shen Jize to drive.
However, Shen Jize suddenly took his backpack away, threw it on the back seat, and then leaned over and pulled the safety belt to fasten it on him.
Lu Rong stared at Shen Jize's handsome side face in front of him, and suddenly leaned up to him and kissed him on the cheek.
As soon as the kiss touched, it was like a swallow's wings flying across the lake, but Shen Jize froze for a few seconds as if he had been stabbed. Then he continued to fasten his seat belt, sat up straight with a calm face, and drove out of the garage.
Lu Rong's heart was still jumping a little, but he pretended to be nonchalant and stared out of the car window, a little shy and secretly delighted.
Soon he arrived at the address that Lu Rong said, because vehicles could not enter the snack street, Shen Jize had to park his car on the side of the road.
Lu Rong said that he has only one luggage and does not need help. Shen Jize didn't wear a hat and sunglasses, and it wasn't suitable to go out, so he stayed in the car and waited for him.
He leaned his head on the back of the car, closed his eyes and listened to the traffic outside, thinking about the kiss that Lu Rong started, he couldn't continue like this.
You should avoid those intimate gestures with Lu Rong, and you can't indulge him too much, but be stricter, so that he doesn't get too far.
But at the same time, a wave of hope rose in my heart, maybe Lu Rong had that kind of feeling for herself...? After all, he is so old, it's not like when he was a child, kissing on the cheek is just a way of expressing intimacy
Shen Jize was in a mess, he took a deep breath, and covered his face with his hands.
Soon, the car window beside him was knocked, and he turned his head to see Lu Rong's big smiling face and the huge woven bag beside him.
Shen Jize got out of the car, put the woven bag into the trunk, and quickly returned to the driver's seat when passers-by began to look at him.
"Didn't you say that there is only a little luggage? It turned out to be so heavy that I was not allowed to help." Shen Jize said.
Lu Rong scratched his face and said, "It's not too heavy. I'm used to carrying it around by myself." After the words fell, he rolled his eyes, stretched his right hand in front of Shen Jize, and said coquettishly, "It's so heavy. Look at my hands are sore."
He wanted Shen Jize to take his hand and knead it like he did when he was a child, but he didn't want Shen Jize to just look at that white hand, then look away and said indifferently: "There is no mark, sour How can you tell if you are not sour?"
Lu Rong had no choice but to withdraw his hand resentfully, and sat down with his backpack in his arms.
"Seat belt." Shen Jize didn't help him fasten it this time, but only told him.
Lu Rong pouted, and started to fasten the seat belt by himself. Shen Jize pretended not to see the disappointment on his face, started the car, and drove towards his new home.
Half an hour later, the cross-country drove into a high-end residential area with a beautiful environment and parked in the underground garage of a building. Shen Jize went to the trunk to pick up the woven bag, and said to Lu Rong, "Let's go, this is my new house, and it has just been renovated."
Lu Rong took two steps forward, reaching out to hold his free hand. As soon as it touched it, Shen Jize changed the woven bag to another shoulder, and put his hand on it, and Lu Rong immediately held it empty.
Entering the elevator with one elevator and one household, when the door stops and the door is opened, the entrance of a suite is in sight.
Shen Jize put the heavy woven bag on the floor, took out a new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, looked at Lu Rong after changing them, and said, "These are a bit too big for you to wear. I'll buy a pair that fits later."
"I want to buy the same one as yours." Lu Rong stared at the pair of blue slippers on Shen Jize's feet and said.
After speaking, she raised her head and smiled at him again, the two dimples on her cheeks floated up again, embedded in Bai Shengsheng's face.
"Then go to the supermarket and see if there's anything similar." Shen Jize looked away, his voice wanted to be indifferent, but it revealed a softness that he couldn't control, which sounded a bit weird.
He touched the woven bag again: "What's in it?"
Lu Rong said: "The bacon and sausage brought from my hometown."
"Bacon and sausage?" Shen Jize was a little surprised.
Lu Rong straightened up and said, "My grandfather thought I would live with a friend, so he asked me to give these to him."
"Friend? Which friend are you? Why didn't I know you had a friend who could live with you in the capital?" Shen Jize's voice suddenly became louder.
Lu Rong hurriedly said: "It's one of my seniors, who is also from the town middle school. He works in the capital. Originally, I could live with him temporarily, but I'm not in the capital because of business, so I live in the store."
Shen Jize's face darkened: "It's just a senior. Do you know him? Do you know what he is? What's more, he is a senior in middle school. I haven't seen him in these years, so I can live with him?"
"He would go back to his hometown every vacation, and we know each other very well, otherwise I wouldn't plan to live with him." Lu Rong defended in a low voice.
"Very familiar? How familiar? You have to know that many people in society nowadays hide evil intentions, but they can't see anything on the outside. You only meet once in a while, and you know that he must not be a bad person?"
Like a conscientious parent, Shen Jize scolded Lu Rong angrily, forgetting that he hadn't seen him for several years.
"The bacon is Grandpa's heart, so don't give it to him. If you want to meet him, I will accompany you there, and I will buy him another gift."
Lu Rong could only say oh.
Shen Jize saw that his attitude seemed a little perfunctory, and he said in a more emphatic tone: "I must accompany you to meet again, understand?"
"clear."
Shen Jize stared at him for a while, as if judging the authenticity of his answer, Lu Rong looked at him with wet eyes, very obedient.
Shen Jize was satisfied, and asked, "Should I hang these bacon on a beam, or put them in the freezer?"
"No need to hang it up, but put it in the freezer."
Lu Rong didn't realize that he was using my bacon.
Shen Jize picked up the bag of bacon and walked towards the kitchen. When he tried hard, his forearm bulged slightly, and his muscles were very beautiful.
He opened the secret door to the kitchen, revealing an empty pantry with a huge freezer against the wall. After putting the bacon in the freezer, he checked it again before exiting and closing the door.
Lu Rong walked into the living room and looked around. This house is surprisingly big, the living room alone is as big as his entire house. The decoration is very simple, black and gray, but it can be seen that the design is very careful.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the lawn, and there is a lake in the distance, sparkling with waves.
"This is a large flat floor, with a roof on the top, a greenhouse, and dogs can be raised. But if anyone is used to living in an exclusive small courtyard and doesn't like living in a building, then I can buy a villa."
Shen Jize had already left the kitchen at some point, standing beside Lu Rong and said quietly.
Lu Rong wowed silently, and said: "Brother, your house is already very good, there is no one who doesn't like it."
Shen Jize glanced at him and said, "It's okay, but it should be more comfortable than living in your senior's house."
Just as Lu Rong was about to speak, he suddenly came to his senses and asked sweetly, "You don't want me to live with the senior, do you want me to live here?"
He stuck to Shen Jize's side again, put his arms around his arm, and said confidently: "I definitely want to live with you, you are my dearest brother."
Shen Jize was not only pleased by this sentence, but also made his mouth a little bit bitter when he said "the dearest brother".
He took out his arm calmly and asked, "Is grandpa still in good health?"
"Very tough, in better health than me, and usually doesn't even have a cold."
Shen Jize nodded: "That's fine. When will you take Grandpa to live for a while, and take him around to have a look."
Lu Rong narrowed his eyes with a smile, and nodded heavily: "It will be fine after I find a new job."
"New job? Don't you have a new job?"
"Huh?" Lu Rong was at a loss.
"My personal bodyguard."
Lu Rong was dumbfounded: "I, I'm just, just, am I really your bodyguard?"
Shen Jize looked at him with great interest, but his expression was very solemn: "Yes, congratulations, Mr. Lu, after many selections, you have obtained this bodyguard position. From today on, you are my personal bodyguard, yes I practice 24-hour close protection."
Lu Rong was stunned, and stood there with a face of astonishment, with his mouth slightly open.
Shen Jize couldn't help itching and wanted to pinch his nose, moved his fingers, finally held back, turned and walked to the kitchen, took out a few oranges from the refrigerator and squeezed the juice.
Staring at the stirring juicer, he said in a buzzing voice: "Don't worry, your salary is very good, and the job content is very easy."
Lu Rong's mind was spinning rapidly.
If he didn't become a deer, he was afraid that he could not do well in the bodyguard job, and it would affect Shen Jize instead. But the condition of being with my brother for 24 hours is too tempting.
If he signs up to learn martial arts now, is there still time
Shen Jize took a sip of the glass of juice, looked at Lu Rong from above the rim of the glass, saw him standing there with a tangled expression, his expression was very exciting.
He admired Lu Rong's struggling expression, and saw that his face gradually became firm, and he clenched his fists, as if he had finally made a certain decision, so he put away his smile and put on a serious look.
Lu Rong turned his head and said affirmatively like a promise: "Don't worry, I will be your bodyguard and protect you well."
Shen Jize also nodded: "Okay, I look forward to your work performance."
After speaking, he walked over and handed him another glass of juice in his hand: "Go sit on the sofa and drink some juice."
Lu Rong took the juice but didn't drink it, put it on the tea table in front of the sofa, sat down, and his sitting posture was as standard as those men in black that he saw in the morning.
He asked with a serious face: "Brother, did you hire bodyguards because of something bad?"
Shen Jize saw that he had already entered the role of bodyguard in a short moment, turned his face and coughed a few times, put down the juice, sat opposite him, and said, "It's not a big deal, just received a few inexplicable gifts .”
"An inexplicable gift?" Lu Rong clicked in his head, thinking of his stool deer.
"It's just that someone threatened me by putting some bloody things in it by giving gifts." Shen Jize didn't want to tell him too much, it's better that Lu Rong doesn't know about those things.
Lu Rong's heart shuddered, and his brows furrowed.
"I will try my best to catch that person." He solemnly stated.
Shen Jize waved his hand: "No, your job is not to arrest people, you are in charge of supervision, guarding the staff to unwrap the gifts sent, if there is anything wrong, report to the police in time."
Lu Rong let out a short ah, a little dazed: "Do you mean I'm just in charge of unpacking the express boxes?"
Shen Jize said: "Of course it's not just express delivery, there are also other things, such as you see."
He stood up and walked to the window, Lu Rong hurriedly followed.
Outside the window is a small forest, and farther away is a wide lawn, with tender green stretching to the horizon.
Shen Jize pointed to the lawn and said: "This is a golf course. How do you know that no one will pretend to play and then climb up the building? Right? After all, I am famous and rich now."
Lu Rong deeply agreed: "Yes."
"That's why I need a bodyguard." Shen Jize raised his chin to him: "A bodyguard who can usually watch the staff unwrap presents, and help me guard my house on those horrible nights when the moon is dark and the wind is high."
Then he added: "Of course you don't have to be afraid to be my bodyguard. There is no danger. I will protect him."
"Brother is amazing." Lu Rong said sincerely.
Shen Jize stared at him with dark eyes: "I have had military training three times, and I have also participated in the Boy Scouts."
"Wow..." Lu Rong exclaimed.
