The sun gradually rose into the sky, and under its bright sunshine, Yuanzi ran back to Lu Shizhen's arms and acted coquettishly.
Aunt Sun's voice was filled with a kind smile, like an unintentional sigh of emotion because of the beauty in front of her.
Xu Shiyue knew from the beginning that Lu Shizhen liked her.
She approached him with impure motives, and she pestered him desperately.
Whether it was on notes, in chat records, or in occasional contact, the word "like" was always on her lips.
But Xu Shiyue suddenly realized that she hadn't heard this word for a long time.
Lu Shizhen is now sensible and polite.
She wanted to live well and realized that she had to make those who deserved to pay pay the price.
She got herself a guide dog instead of insisting on "personally" supporting herself since she couldn't see.
It seemed like whatever she needed could be given to her.
Xu Shiyue once believed that Lu Shizhen was a perverted lunatic with sweet talk.
But her current behavior has been normal for a madman for too long.
There was a faint rose scent around Xu Shiyue's fingers, but she didn't notice that the vigilance and disgust that was always hidden in her eyes had become more hesitant and indecisive since some time.
A breeze suddenly blew across the lawn, and the puppy's paws tapped on the lawn, making a tapping sound.
Xu Shiyue was standing here when she saw a low, blurry shadow running towards her from afar.
When Yuanzi saw Xu Shiyue appear not far away, he immediately came out of Lu Shizhen's arms, trotted over, and stayed by his master's side diligently.
Seeing this, Qiuqiu, whose body was covered in saliva, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It just looked at Yuanzi who was wagging his tail beside Xu Shiyue, and said in a tired voice: "Normally, creatures in your world can't see me, so why can it see me?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because it's a guide dog? It's very demanding, and then there are things that scientists can't explain?" Lu Shizhen also found it novel. Looking at Qiuqiu shaking her body like a dog, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. "Look, I like you so much that I can't wait to hold you in my mouth."
"Host!" Qiuqiu rarely showed a little temper towards Lu Shizhen.
However, it really didn't have the energy to care. With little energy left in its body, it fell exhaustedly on Lu Shizhen's head.
I lazily buried my body in my hair, wanting to rest for a while and restore my energy.
But Qiuqiu's peace did not last long, as she felt a jolt beneath her body.
Yuanzi was so eager to return to Xu Shiyue that she forgot to put on her work clothes.
The sound of metal objects clinking was heard. Xu Shiyue raised her eyes slightly and saw Lu Shizhen walking towards her carrying Yuanzi's work clothes.
"Good morning." The girl's greeting was polite and gentle, and Xu Shiyue's voice was as cold and calm as always, "Good morning."
The wind passed between the two of them, and the atmosphere seemed to be turning cold.
But there is none.
Lu Shizhen saw the basket that Aunt Sun had just taken from Xu Shiyue and took the initiative to say, "It's cold now, so don't take care of the roses. Yuanzi likes to be with you as its owner, so you should spend more time with it."
Yuanzi was wagging its tail, and when Lu Shizhen finished speaking, it woofed in agreement.
Thinking about the scene just now when Yuanzi chased Qiuqiu to play with it, Lu Shizhen inexplicably felt that this dog was very spiritual. His black eyes curved in the sunlight. He rubbed its head with fondness and said, "Just now, this guy forgot to wear his work clothes in order to come to you quickly."
"Wait a moment, I'll put it on."
Having said that, Lu Shizhen swiftly squatted down in front of Xu Shiyue.
Today is a rare good day. The wind blows across the lawn, bringing a refreshing autumn air.
The sunlight fell unhindered on the lawn, illuminating the blurry yet somewhat clear image in Xu Shiyue's sight as if with preference. The figures of a man and a dog occupied half of Xu Shiyue's sight without any warning.
Lu Shizhen just raised his arm and Yuanzi cooperated and got into the sling.
It was so tacit, as if they had done this often in the past.
"You know, a puppy like you who doesn't take work seriously will be fired."
Lu Shizhen held Yuanzi's feet and spoke to it with a serious face, with some intimidation in his voice.
It was just that those slightly widened eyes were like someone educating a disobedient dog, and the gentleness in his tone was not harsh, but rather childish as always.
It makes people want to shake their heads at this old-age childishness, and then laugh.
The dog's long and thick tail stirred up shadows in the light around the lawn, and the girl's slightly messy and fluffy hair was hazy with golden light.
At this moment, the Misty Paintings seem to be infused with life, so illusory and beautiful that it is worth anyone's nostalgia.
But a painting is still a painting after all.
Even standing on the same lawn, she was just a person looking at the painting.
None of this belongs to her.
The girl's eyes were filled with a darkness that swallowed up all the light. What she needed now was the power to help her get revenge.
Rather than complacent comfort.
Lu Shizhen won't give it to her.
.
The autumn sun was still high in the sky, but it was already getting chilly in the afternoon.
As usual, the servants gathered for a meeting at the call of Aunt Sun, and the whole villa was a little too quiet.
“Dangdang.”
There was a sudden knock on the door, but Xu Shiyue was not at all flustered.
She stood up from the chair slowly, turned around and looked at the person who pushed the door in: "Miss, the person who is supposed to pick you up is already waiting in the blind spot of the surveillance camera in the back garden."
She had very few things, only a cello, which Luo Ji had hidden in the back garden, ready for her to put down and come back to get.
The sunlight shines through the lush osmanthus tree outside the window, scattered into the room, and casts a layer of light on the clean table.
The room was so tidy that it looked as if no one had ever lived there. Only a folded letter on the desk by the window proved that a careful girl had once lived in this room.
Since she didn't need to work for the time being and her older sister who usually played with her was not at home, Yuanzi curled up in her nest by the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room to rest.
The dog can always accurately distinguish the footsteps of different humans. As soon as Xu Shiyue followed Luo Ji downstairs, it opened its eyes.
The thick tail suddenly started to shake, making the glass beside it rattle.
Luo Ji's heart suddenly tightened, but Xu Shiyue was much calmer than her.
She knew that Yuanzi had woken up, so she hurried over to pet it, gently indicating that she didn't need it now and it could continue to rest.
Yuanzi is a very leisurely guide dog. Xu Shiyue is not completely blind, and she is used to being alone, so she doesn't use it very often.
It was also smart, and in just a few days it had understood all the gestures Xu Shiyue had given it, and this time was no exception. When Xu Shiyue touched it like this, it immediately understood what she meant and lay back down.
"Miss is the one who has the solution." Luo Ji looked at the dog sleeping obediently and praised in a low voice.
Xu Shiyue did not answer.
She stood up slowly, and clenched her hands in her pockets.
The platinum-colored balls were wrapped in the light from the window, looking particularly warm and comfortable in Xu Shiyue's eyes.
And right next to this platinum color, there should have been a young girl in the past.
Play with this dog in a carefree and calm manner.
Sometimes, the two of them would argue for a long time over something.
The wind blew, the shadows of the trees outside the window swayed, and the shadows of the setting sun flickered in Xu Shiyue's sight.
The girl frowned slightly, then withdrew her gaze without saying a word.
It's time for her to go.
The regular meeting convened by Aunt Sun had already begun at this time, and the villa, which was as big as a small manor, was deserted.
The wind blew the girl's skirt, and the light fabric brushed against the rose branches.
The weak roses in the front yard swayed in the wind, as if chasing the flames she had burned along the way, or trying to keep her.
But the girl never stopped.
After a while, Xu Shiyue and Luo Ji walked to the door of the front yard of the villa unimpeded.
The security guard on duty poked his head out as he usually did when Xu Shiyue was about to go out, and said with a flattering smile: "Miss Xu, are you going out? Why don't you take a car?"
"Ms. Xu has some Braille textbooks to buy, and she wanted to go and have a look at them in person," Luo Ji explained, his acting was top-notch. "Last time we went there, Miss Lu got really mad because it was hard to park there, so this time we'll just take a taxi."
The security guard seemed to understand what was said and nodded.
Anyway, this wasn't the first time Miss Xu went to buy a Braille textbook. Although Miss Lu wasn't with her this time, she didn't think anything was wrong, so she let her go without much suspicion: "Miss Xu, go slowly."
"Thank you." Xu Shiyue nodded slightly, and followed Luo Ji out the door calmly as usual.
The car disguised as a taxi had already parked on the side of the road. Luo Ji helped Xu Shiyue to the back seat of the car and sat in the driver's seat neatly: "Miss, we are finally going!"
"Yes." Xu Shiyue nodded slightly, but there was no joy on her face.
The car started up quickly, and the trees on the roadside kept receding in her sight. Lu Shizhen's medicine was very effective, and her eyes could now see things a little more clearly.
The huge white building that she had wanted to escape from became clearer. It seemed to be chasing the setting sun and was also moving away from her.
Xu Shiyue couldn't see the road ahead clearly and wasn't familiar with it.
The lights in the tunnel kept flashing in her eyes. When passing through the second tunnel, the car stopped with the hazard lights on.
According to the agreement, Xu Shoude's men will wait here, and Xu Shiyue, Luo Ji and the bodyguards following behind will move to the car they have prepared to eliminate all traces that Lu Shizhen and Xu Shouxian and others may track.
Xu Shoude's men also kept their promise and drove over from the opposite side almost at the same time.
The sky gradually darkened, and Xu Shiyue saw Xu Shoude walking out of the car.
The blurry shadows made it impossible to tell whether the person was fat or thin, but it seemed that there were a lot more gray shadows.
The man was still as kind as usual, as if he had come to take her back personally.
This action can be said to show that Xu Shoude attaches great importance to Xu Shiyue.
But it could also be said that he had other plans.
The car was shrouded in the vast darkness of the tunnel behind it, and the double flashes illuminated the car parked in front.
Xu Shiyue was reluctant to tell Luo Ji to unlock the car door. The place she was going this time was the closest to Xu Shouxian. Even though she had a close relationship with Xu Shoude since childhood, she had to be on guard against him.
At this moment, a light came from far away and gradually approached inside Xu Shiyue's car.
A black Bentley slowly stopped behind Xu Shoude's car, and the shadow of a man in a suit was printed on the bright windshield.
Xu Shouxian walked out of the car naturally and greeted Xu Shiyue who was sitting in the car with a smile: "Little niece, long time no see."
