The slanted sunlight was hit and shook violently several times in Lu Shizhen's sight, and that familiar voice was filled with unruly.
Lu Shien came with a fierce look. She seemed to have grown a lot taller after not seeing her for a few years. Her eyes were wide open and her gaze was level with Lu Shizhen.
"Small… "
Lu Shizhen never expected that she would meet Lu Shien again in this way. She was so surprised that she almost called out "Xiaoen".
The habit of being rolled down the throat suddenly braked, and then turned into pretending not to recognize the doubt: "Miss, who are you?"
"I'm my sister's younger sister! Xu Shiyue's sister-in-law! Just because you have the same name as my sister, you can do whatever you want!" Lu Shien pinched his waist and introduced himself. His words were full of protection. "My sister is not here, but I'm still here!"
Lu Shizhen was a little stunned when he heard this.
This chaotic feeling even made her forget the pain of her wrist being tightly grasped.
Sister-in-law
What kind of family ethics drama is this
"Xiao En, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Xu Shiyue walked out of the bedroom and scolded Lu Shien in a cold tone, who had warned him loudly as soon as he entered the room.
When Lu Shien heard Xu Shiyue's voice, he suddenly turned around and looked at her.
The slanting sunlight fell on her shoulders, and her skin, which was tightly wrapped in shirts all year round, showed a cool white.
The slightly open collar was like a sharp arrow, shooting straight into Lu Shien's eyes.
Although it was just a monotonous snow-white voice, she couldn't help but raise her voice: "I want to ask you! What are you doing!"
Lu Shizhen suddenly felt someone slapping her wrist hard, but the pain was gone, leaving only Lu Shien's sharp and unruly questioning voice: "Is this person your new love?"
"Didn't Shen Yanxing call you last night? Didn't you know that the robot butler project had problems? Now you don't even care about the company for your new love, right?! You're having fun with her here, and you're hiding her with such a high-end combination lock? I almost couldn't crack it, Xu Shiyue, you really put a lot of thought into it!"
After listening to Lu Shien's series of questions, Lu Shizhen finally came to his senses from the confusion.
The main system would not design an intersection between the two for no reason, so when Shen Yanxing called Xu Shiyue yesterday, it was not just because he was concerned about her, but something really happened in the company.
Thinking of how he had rejected Xu Shiyue in the street yesterday, Lu Shizhen couldn't help but feel even more guilty.
And the most important thing is that the encryption program of the combination lock was written by Qiuqiu specifically for Lu Shizhen's safety after she had seen many cases of break-ins.
"Actually..." Lu Shizhen hesitated, wanting to clarify the second half of her sentence with Lu Shien, but was interrupted by Xu Shiyue, "It is my freedom to make friends with whomever I want. I don't think the company's affairs will prevent me from making friends with anyone, right?"
Xu Shiyue seemed very displeased with Lu Shien's sudden intrusion, with a cold look in her eyes.
She drew a clear line between her private affairs and Lu Shien's, shielding Lu Shizhen from her own protection, and asked in a deep voice: "Besides, have I said I don't care about the company's affairs?"
"Regarding the leak, I asked Shen Yanxing and Luo Ji to investigate yesterday. Didn't you also cooperate in writing the trap program this morning? If you think that fish will be caught immediately after throwing the bait, and you don't even have the patience to wait, then I think you should not be the chief engineer."
Lu Shien was speechless and brought his question back to the beginning: "Then, then you can't betray my sister either."
Xu Shiyue raised her eyes slightly, and the sunlight was coated with a layer of gloomy displeasure towards those who crossed the line: "Lu Shien, please think clearly, are you coming to me now for the company's project, or are you simply emotional?"
This company's project is Lu Shien's first project that she has completed independently. She attached great importance to it when she received the task. It is a home smart software system that will be launched on the market in the near future. Both the hardware and software are designed exceptionally well.
But just yesterday, the rival company suddenly and without warning officially announced their new smart system that was about to be launched, completely replicating the highly confidential core selling points that Lu Shien and his team had prepared.
Seeing her hard work being plagiarized, the girl panicked and was at a loss for a moment. She also heard that Xu Shiyue had gone to the capital for no reason, so she used some scientific and technological power to find out Xu Shiyue's whereabouts and the mysterious woman who was traveling with her.
Lu Shien felt as if her head was buzzing, and anger became a shield to cover up her panic.
Just like a red panda that opened its arms, stood up and tried to intimidate the other party when it encountered danger, even Shen Yanxing couldn't hold her down.
The room was somewhat quiet in the afternoon and evening, as the setting sun made the clouds outside the window glow orange.
Xu Shiyue's calm voice at this moment carried a terrifying sense of oppression as he asked Lu Shien questions directly, forcing her to calm down.
I don’t know if it’s because of the light reflected from the window, but Lu Shien’s eyes are slightly red.
She sniffed lightly and asked stubbornly: "But... you promised me that you would find my sister back. You can't go back on your word."
In the entire group, Lu Shien is the only one who can be so stubborn as to confront Xu Shiyue.
The displeasure in Xu Shiyue's eyes did not get worse. She just listened to the little girl's question, and glanced at Lu Shizhen who was standing not far away, and then said to Lu Shien without hesitation: "I promised you at the beginning, and I will definitely do it."
"Your sister will definitely come back."
Xu Shiyue's voice was soft, but it seemed filled with the weight of time.
Lu Shizhen was listening at the side, and she felt as if something heavy had fallen on her body, causing her to feel a dull pain.
How long ago was it? Five years ago
So during the five years that she was away, Xu Shiyue had been looking for her every day
Lu Shizhen realized that Xu Shiyue might have been aware of the existence of the system, which was why he invested heavily in artificial intelligence.
However, Lu Shizhen found that after realizing Xu Shiyue's idea, he was not afraid at all.
She thought this person hated her so much, but in fact she cared about her more than anyone else.
She loves me.
That's why she is willing to plant roses in the desert of data, hoping that one day the roses will bloom and bring back her butterflies.
And Xiao En...
Lu Shien got Xu Shiyue's promise again, like a madman who took back her doll. After a slight pause, she calmly replied to Xu Shiyue's question: "I came to discuss the company's affairs with you."
"They have already taken our robot butler's core program, and they announced it yesterday before us. It's almost impossible for the factory to develop another selling point in the short term. So what should we do?"
"It doesn't matter if the selling points are repeated. Many competing products on the market have this problem." Xu Shiyue stated calmly, "We can start from other places, use public opinion, create price differences, and many other methods are possible."
After hearing this, Lu Shizhen suddenly felt that he should do something as well.
Although she cannot take the initiative to admit her identity to these two people now, she should indeed do something for them.
The slanting sunlight outlined the two dark shadows standing opposite each other neatly and cleanly, while a thin shadow with a soft shadow slowly rose between the two shadows.
Lu Shizhen weakly raised his hand and said, "Well, I have a way here that may be able to help you."
Lu Shien didn't like the way this person who almost replaced her sister spoke. When she heard Lu Shizhen's voice, she turned her head and looked over with disdain: "You?"
Even though five years have passed, Lu Shien still doesn't hide his emotions.
Lu Shizhen saw the contemptuous look clearly, but she didn't care and continued: "I wonder if your artificial intelligence product can be co-branded with my comics?"
"In fact, under the premise of having similar competing products, co-branding is also a very good promotional advantage. Some people will come for the co-branding, and some will come for the good-looking appearance. It can cover a lot of groups."
"That comic of yours?" Lu Shien did some research on Lu Shizhen on the way here and was skeptical about the comic that Lu Shizhen had just been recommended by her senior schoolmates.
Lu Shizhen knew that this kind of self-recommendation had to be based on real data, which made her feel like she was just trying to sell melons. She scratched her nose in embarrassment and said, "We have done a joint venture with a game console before, and the sales were pretty good... we sold over 10,000 in the first hour."
Lu Shien was really surprised by the number. He didn't expect that this cartoonist had some skills. He said stubbornly: "Do you know that this little time is not enough to prepare?"
"You can get on the bus first and buy the ticket later. You can announce the collaboration first, and the contract can be finalized later." Lu Shizhen had previous collaboration experience and described his ideas very skillfully. "The co-branded products can be made into pre-sales. I believe that the Xu Group and the Lu Group are two large groups. It's not a major holiday now, so they can always rush it out within the specified time, right?"
Lu Shien was somewhat convinced, but she was still not convinced by the man in front of her. She nitpicked and said, "Do you understand our products? Do you know what you are going to draw? Our product line is ready, but you haven't submitted your draft yet."
Lu Shizhen knew Lu Shien's personality well and was patient enough, so she said, "Wait a moment," and then she picked up the tablet she had just put away on the cabinet beside her and sat on the sofa.
Although Lu Shien is sometimes unreasonable and does things based on his likes and dislikes, he is also a good and sensible child.
Since she was the one who proposed this collaboration, she should also show some strength to prove the feasibility of this matter.
After unlocking the door and opening the painting software, Lu Shizhen held the fully-charged capacitive pen and tapped the canvas.
Before she started drawing comics, she started as a comic book artist. She knew all the tricks of the trade. She spread the entire canvas on the screen and drew the general layout outline with rough lines in a few strokes.
Compared to the bright sunshine in the early morning, the room is already a little twilight.
Xu Shiyue glanced at the window beside her, then slowly walked behind the sofa, leaving the best light for Lu Shizhen.
This was the first time she saw Lu Shizhen paint.
The short hair on the side of the face that reached the chin seemed to be a bit of a hindrance at this moment, so it was casually gathered behind with a rubber band, revealing a clean little face.
That fair little face was thinner than before, with real blood flowing under the fair skin, but it made people feel an indescribable sickness, as if it had been soaked in medicine for too long, and no matter how it changed, it could not get rid of this smell.
The thick eyelashes curled slightly upward, revealing a pair of eyes full of seriousness.
Times have changed, and on this face that even Lu Shien couldn't recognize, only a pair of eyes remained, which looked similar to the past.
How to describe Xu Shiyue’s mood when he looked at this person
I feel sad, but also relieved.
These five years were a blank time for them.
Xu Shiyue actually saw with her own eyes that the incomprehensible mess of lines on the other side of the screen turned into a painting with clear lines.
The setting sun spread out through the window on one side, and the brilliant orange-red color was like the distant painting framed by the school window that day.
Xu Shiyue watched Lu Shizhen painting, and she seemed to be able to outline clearly the blurry and regretful picture that she had seen in the art classroom in the past.
Xu Shiyue still remembers that it was the first time she was extremely eager to see it, and she was equally jealous of everyone who could see Lu Shizhen's paintings.
The faint scent of soapberries wafted into the room through the balcony with the wind, and she now felt that many things could not be seen with just the eyes.
Lu Shizhen is always crazy about creation. Although she hasn't had any experience with art for a long time and her hands are a little rusty, she completed the first version of the line drawing very quickly and the degree of completion was astonishing.
Lu Shizhen is always like this, working hard towards his desired goal.
She had just said a lot, and after the line drawing was completed, her allocated senses finally sent her a signal of thirst.
Lu Shizhen looked deeply at the line drawing he had just completed, and habitually raised his hand to touch his cup.
The author said: I found a very good reading website: Ziyun Reading Network
Address: ZIYUNＳ.COM
But she forgot that she had just cleaned up the house last night, and her cup should not and would not appear on the table now.
It seemed that this action was about to fail, but Lu Shizhen's palm still touched the hexagonal glass cup that she often used.
Or rather, it should be said that her palm was placed into the hexagonal glass cup by someone.
Xu Shiyue's movements were very natural, as if she had predicted it. When she saw Lu Shizhen reaching out her hand, she handed her a glass of water.
The warm water flowed through the glass onto Lu Shizhen's palm, but Xu Shiyue's fingers were cold.
The two different temperatures seemed to fall on Lu Shizhen's fingertips unintentionally, plucking the strings in her heart and causing them to vibrate suddenly.
Lu Shizhen was somewhat surprised that Xu Shiyue knew what she was going to do, but was also somewhat moved by their tacit understanding.
She held the glass in her hand tightly, and tried to keep her voice calm under the warmth: "Thank... Thank you."
Xu Shiyue curved his eyes slightly.
Just when she was about to say something to Lu Shizhen, Lu Shien suddenly interrupted with a cough: "Ahem."
The voice was undisguised and extremely deliberate, clearly reminding the two people that there was someone watching them.
The obscure ambiguity was brought to the surface, and Lu Shizhen's face felt slightly hot.
She immediately turned the tablet in her hand to Lu Shien and said to her in a disguised manner: "What do you think, Miss Lu? Is it okay?"
The line drawing does not give people the colorful color impact like the finished product. Without the attention shared by the colors, people tend to focus their attention on the only black and white lines.
Lu Shizhen's black and white line drawing was so well done. All the necessary lines were present, and there was no redundant outline. Just a few strokes made it a highly finished painting. Lu Shien couldn't find any fault with it at all.
Don't want to find fault either.
Because this painting is not only beautiful, but also gives her a familiar feeling.
It was as if she had seen someone draw like this not long ago.
But the last person was her sister...
Lu Shien looked deeply at the line drawing in front of him, but before he could get into his thoughts, he was interrupted by Lu Shizhen: "I think they just took away the core of your innovation, not you. Your technology can keep this product going, but they can't."
"They just want to take down this wave and make you lose the market, so that you won't be able to compete with them later. So as long as you can handle this wave, the market for this product will still be yours."
Lu Shien was a little surprised that the man in front of him was thinking about him, and even felt a little guilty about his behavior just now. His arrogant tone slowed down a lot: "Why... are you helping me?"
Qiuqiu hasn't yet completed the trick to deceive the main system, and Lu Shien is such a computer genius.
Lu Shizhen was really a little worried that the world that Xu Shiyue had not destroyed would be destroyed by Lu Shien who knew the truth.
The truth cannot be told, Lu Shizhen raised his hand and rubbed Lu Shien's head, using a vague sense to replace the statement of fact: "Maybe I have a liking for you."
The hair that was messed up by the wind when he ran here in a hurry was smoothed down under his fingers, and Lu Shien suddenly felt that this feeling was familiar.
Then he suddenly realized that he shouldn't have such thoughts.
The little girl looked up at Lu Shizhen stubbornly, like a struggling kitten, and said stubbornly: "Don't even think about replacing my sister with sweet words! I belong to my sister! Xu Shiyue can only belong to my sister!"
"Yeah." Lu Shizhen looked at the stubborn little girl in front of him, not knowing whether he felt more helpless or more moved.
She just held the cup that Xu Shiyue had handed to her, her eyes softened, and she repeated in an obscure way: "I know that Xu Shiyue can only belong to your sister."
.
Because of this unexpected incident, and Lu Shien’s sudden visit, Xu Shiyue had to leave the capital early and return to City S.
Someone will be assigned to contact the studio regarding the collaboration, and it is impossible for Lu Shizhen to follow them back to City S. All he can do is send Xu Shiyue and Lu Shien downstairs.
There were three people standing in the small elevator car. It wasn't crowded, but it was quiet enough.
As soon as Lu Shien came in, he stood in the middle and separated Lu Shizhen and Xu Shiyue.
The little girl held her head high, and there seemed to be a hint of smugness in her back that made people laugh and cry.
Soon the elevator brought the three of them to the first floor, and Lu Shien strode out first.
Then she paused, her tightly pursed lips slightly opened and closed, and finally she politely looked back at Lu Shizhen who was standing in the elevator and said, "Hey, thank you for this time, bye."
I don’t know if it was because she was shy, but before Lu Shizhen even raised her hand to wave goodbye, the girl turned around and ran away.
But Lu Shizhen still waved at her back, with relief and helplessness in his eyes: "Goodbye."
She was really a little worried that her sister's personality might cause her to suffer in the future.
But instead of worrying about Lu Shien, Lu Shizhen should worry about herself now.
Xu Shiyue was standing on the other side of the elevator and was reluctant to leave.
"You're not leaving?"
Lu Shizhen watched the elevator door slowly close, and raised her hand to press the button to delay door closing.
But before she could reach out her hand, Xu Shiyue suddenly reached out and held it.
The hand was slightly cool but powerful, and it pulled Lu Shizhen over unexpectedly.
The distance that was originally artificially separated by Lu Shien was rapidly shrinking. In less than a second, Lu Shizhen stopped only one centimeter away from Xu Shiyue.
The outdoor light was blocked out as the elevator door closed, leaving only the gentle light inside the elevator cabin, falling dimly on the two people's heads.
Lu Shizhen's pupils reflected unexpected surprise under the light, and her thick eyelashes flickered chaotically under her crossed breathing.
Their eyes met, and the scent of Xu Shiyue spread in the small elevator.
The originally light and refreshing smell is made rich and ambiguous at a very close distance.
As if anticipating what Xu Shiyue was going to do, Lu Shizhen's dry throat rolled for a moment, and he nervously reminded: "Xu Shiyue, someone could be here at any time."
Hearing this, Xu Shiyue tilted his head slightly and chuckled.
Then he moved a little closer to Lu Shizhen and asked in a low voice: "But Teacher Sixteen can't go back on his word, right?"
"What?"
It was pressed against Lu Shizhen's cheek, flowing gently and ambiguously.
Some doubts arose in her heart.
There was a layer of window paper between her and Xu Shiyue that no one had ever broken. When Xu Shiyue called her Sixteen, she was Sixteen, not Lu Shizhen.
Therefore, she didn't feel that there was anything she needed to fulfill in the promises she had made to Xu Shiyue, whom she had just met.
But Lu Shizhen didn’t know that ambiguity happened leisurely through the unbreakable window paper.
The more secretive something is, the easier it is to hide ambiguity.
Xu Shiyue just looked at Lu Shizhen without saying a word, raised his hand and accurately pressed the button for the floor where Lu Shizhen's house was located.
The heavy feeling of the elevator starting up pressed against Lu Shizhen's ears, and Xu Shiyue's slow and gentle voice came over him: "Teacher Sixteen was so careful just now, how come you don't know that according to the hotel's rules, Teacher Sixteen should also give appropriate compensation to guests who check out early?"
After saying that, Xu Shiyue exerted a little force with her arms, shortening the distance between her and Lu Shizhen as close as possible.
The gaze, so calm without any desire, slid straight down with the eyelashes drooping like a fan.
And the kiss fell on Lu Shizhen's lips.
