The faint smell of disinfectant wafted around, and the huge apples were a little cool.
Xu Shiyue looked hesitantly at the little girl sitting in the wheelchair in the distance. She did not seem to be very healthy. A small blanket was draped over her dangling legs. It was dull and monotonous without any pattern, and the slightly unstitched edges made it look a bit old.
Judging from the way her hands were clenched in her lap, the apple must have been dropped by her.
The small shoes tapped slowly on the tile floor, and the girl's calm judgment was controlled by this young body.
Really like a newborn calf, Xu Shiyue walked cautiously yet boldly, as if he was going to return the apple to its rightful owner, and walked towards the person opposite him, holding the apple.
Xu Shiyue thought this was a good idea. She could go and ask who this little girl was and what happened to her.
But just as she walked in front of the little girl, her sight suddenly zoomed in as if the camera was zooming in, and a square little house suddenly appeared in her sight.
It was like the fluctuations that only occurred in an unreasonable dream.
It also seems like the result of some subconscious manipulation.
The room is not big and you can see the whole thing at a glance.
It is square and evenly distributes the light.
The little girl whom she had just seen in the corridor was now sitting by the window.
The soft and even light shone from one side, making every inch of her skin look tender, clean and white.
Her not-so-thick hair just hung loosely on her face, cast a light chestnut color under the light, outlining the delicate profile of the little girl in a fragile and beautiful way.
Xu Shiyue felt that children's curiosity about the world was the most beautiful picture, just like this little girl at this moment who was looking out quietly, a pure white dove was perched in front of her, separated from her by only a piece of clean glass.
The thick eyelashes blinked, as if there were stars hidden inside, full of curiosity about the outside world.
The sun tanned her chubby cheeks, which were slightly flushed, and looked as delicious as the apple in her hand.
But despite such beauty, Xu Shiyue sensed something was wrong.
The pigeon perched outside the window never moved, and the distribution of light and shadow on the little girl's face did not match the appearance of her sitting in front of the window.
She looked around the small house and realized the problem.
--What the little girl saw in front of her was not a real window, but a painting drawn with a brush.
"Boom, Gulu Gulu..."
Just as Xu Shiyue was surprised at her own discovery, the apple rolled from her tender hands to the ground, unable to bear the weight.
Then it rolled to the little girl's feet.
The little girl's schedule of "viewing the scenery" was interrupted by the apple, and she skillfully adjusted the angle of the wheelchair under her.
The old blanket slid down a little, and the little girl bent down and reached out to pick up the apple that had fallen at her feet.
The lighting in the room was evenly distributed, but the scarlet apple could not stain the pale fingertips of the little girl.
She held the apple in her arms as if she had found it again, and smiled slowly and deeply at Xu Shiyue: "Thank you."
The little girl's eyes were dark and bright, and were reflected clearly and brightly in Xu Shiyue's sight as if they were clearing away the clouds.
It seems to be connected with some memory.
The wind blew in from the square room, ruffling Xu Shiyue's long hair.
She heard the sound of swaying branches and suddenly woke up.
The light rushed into Xu Shiyue's eyes, soft yet dazzling.
The clarity that only appeared in dreams suddenly faded away, and the surrounding scenery became blurry again.
The room was quiet in the early morning, and no one came back to knock on the door to disturb them.
Xu Shiyue sat up from the bed, her long hair hanging on the side of her face hiding her silent expression.
Who is the little girl who just appeared in my dream
Was the dream just now just a simple bizarre thing
Xu Shiyue never cared about these illusory things in dreams, but somehow he cared about this dream so much.
She still remembered the pair of bright black eyes, and the smile that the little girl gave her made her suddenly feel melancholy.
However, before she could recall the details of her dream, something was swaying towards her below her sight.
It was a dog's tail.
Yuanzi did not leave last night. She curled up carefully beside Xu Shiyue's bed and slept all night.
It seemed like it was really afraid of losing its owner. It stayed close to him and was extremely attentive, waking up at the slightest noise.
It was as if Xu Shiyue had just sat up from the bed, and his light golden ears moved, and he instantly stood up while supporting his body which was still in a dream.
A dog's care and concern are always the most enthusiastic and unreserved. Xu Shiyue felt a warm current flowing in his heart.
She gently rubbed Yuanzi's head, then got out of bed and held it to guide it.
.
The villa in the early morning was filled with an orderly bustle, and there were constant sounds from the kitchen. Aunt Sun started to get busy early in the morning.
Lu Shizhen also got up early and sat in the living room eating breakfast with full energy, constantly looking at his 100-point score record with Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu was excited to look through the books with Lu Shizhen at the beginning, but now she is a little numb: "Host, these points will not be lost."
Lu Shizhen was different. He flipped through the records for the 25th time and said, "Let me take another look. This is 100 points."
Qiuqiu knew that she had no way to deal with Lu Shizhen, and she was really happy for her. She didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, so she simply stopped trying to persuade her. She held the small piece of beef that Lu Shizhen had secretly given her just now and slowly started to chew it on top of her head.
At this moment, Xu Shiyue came down from upstairs holding Yuanzi's hand.
Thinking that he had gained a lot of points last night, Lu Shizhen raised an exceptionally friendly smile and took the initiative to ask, "Are you awake? Are you feeling better?"
"Much better." Xu Shiyue replied in a calm voice.
"Good morning, Yuanzi." Lu Shizhen greeted Yuanzi and enthusiastically introduced her to Xu Shiyue: "Auntie Sun made steak sandwiches today. They are delicious."
Xu Shiyue nodded and picked up the sandwich that Aunt Sun had just placed next to her.
Because of the historical issues left over by the original owner, and the fact that he had to rush to school in the mornings, Lu Shizhen seldom ate with Xu Shiyue.
The sunlight enveloped the two people sitting opposite each other, and the warm aroma of beef lingered around, giving the dining table a peaceful and harmonious feeling.
Lu Shizhen bit his sandwich and secretly looked up at Xu Shiyue.
She was still as quiet as usual, her slender body sitting straight in the chair, only the medical gauze on her face recorded the turmoil she experienced last night.
The condition looks good.
Lu Shizhen made a mental assessment and said, "The cello you hid behind the garden was found by the greenhouse servants this morning when they were tidying up the garden. I saw some scratches and dirt on the case, so I asked Aunt Sun to send it for inspection and maintenance. It will be back in two days."
She thought Lu Shizhen would reprimand her and give her a lecture, but she didn't expect it to be just such a casual notice.
With blurry vision, Xu Shiyue couldn't see through the person's thoughts. He said in a light voice, "Thank you."
Lu Shizhen pursed her lips slightly, looked at the sandwich that the person opposite her had not even eaten half of, and said, "If you really want to thank me, eat more."
"Doctor Qin said that your body needs more nutrition so it can heal faster."
When Xu Shiyue heard Lu Shizhen's words, she frowned slightly.
The familiar excuse of the reminder reminded her of many unpleasant things, and this was the kind of reminder she disliked the most.
But Lu Shizhen did not feel Xu Shiyue's disgust, and continued: "Your main task now is to slowly take care of your body here, so that you have the strength to eat and the strength to do other things. After all..."
Lu Shizhen paused, then looked at Xu Shiyue with a smile: "After all, the body is the capital of revolution."
She thought Xu Shiyue was in such a hurry to leave because she wanted to get back what belonged to her so badly.
But this matter was not written into the script by the Lord God and was doomed to fail.
Lu Shizhen knew that the reason why Xu Shiyue in the original text did not act hastily like she did now was because the original owner had caused her huge obstacles.
But now she is no longer a stumbling block on Xu Shiyue's path.
If the road is too smooth and you walk too fast, you can easily fall.
Lu Shizhen felt that as someone who knew the plot, he might as well encourage and guide Xu Shiyue to become a qualified combat readiness logistics personnel.
Moreover, a person as kind as jade as Xu Shiyue should not have encountered the things described in the original text.
Since it is jade, it should be well maintained so that the light it emits will be the most tenacious and clean.
And... this will also help you gain favor very quickly.
Qiuqiu slowly nibbled the beef in her hand, rolled over, and covered her ears with her little wings in disgust.
It said that it could hear the sound of its host's abacus.
"Besides... the person and opportunity that can help you get revenge may not appear for a while."
Lu Shizhen wanted to give Xu Shiyue a hint of the future to calm her down, and continued to "predict" her: "If you don't care about it, it might pop up on its own."
"Isn't there a saying? You can't force it."
Lu Shizhen said several sentences in a row, and the meaning he wanted to express became more and more progressive.
There was no harsh teaching, no tough command, only seriousness in the voice.
Resisting disgust is like the taste of beef lingering in your mouth, which slowly breaks down and fades.
Xu Shiyue felt a little surprised that this person was just trying to encourage and comfort her.
Xu Shiyue knew that Lu Shizhen was a sinister and cunning person, and was the best at sweet talk.
But for some reason, perhaps because it made sense, she wanted to try to believe it again after listening to it.
"Yeah." Xu Shiyue responded lightly, as a token to Lu Shizhen that she had listened to him.
Perhaps because they had been together for a long time, Lu Shizhen also understood the meaning of Xu Shiyue's "hmm".
Joyful expression appeared on the girl's face. She leaned over slightly and looked at Xu Shiyue, testing and expecting: "Do you want to stay?"
The morning sunlight exuded a fresh and clean feeling. A branch extending outside the window swayed gently. In Xu Shiyue's lowered line of sight, he saw a blurry figure looking towards him.
I don't think I have a favorable impression of her, but...
It's not that annoying.
After a pause, Xu Shiyue said softly, "Maybe I'll have to bother Miss Lu for a while longer."
"Woof!"
Yuanzi's reaction was faster than Lu Shizhen's.
It seemed as if it sensed from their conversation that Xu Shiyue would not leave, and it happily circled around the table.
A subtle sliding sound came from Xu Shiyue's ears, and a glass bowl full of blueberries was pushed in front of her by Lu Shizhen.
The beautiful glass bowl reflected the light, and Xu Shiyue saw a dislocated tail shaking behind Lu Shizhen.
"Eat more, it's good for your eyes."
Xu Shiyue pursed her lips lightly and was about to say something when she was interrupted by a news report that suddenly sounded on TV: "Last night, a serious rear-end collision occurred at the intersection of Huagong Road and No. 1 Avenue."
Suddenly the whole restaurant was quiet.
Lu Shizhen realized something instantly and quickly signaled Aunt Sun to turn up the volume of the TV.
"The driver of the car in front braked suddenly to avoid a pedestrian crossing the road. The driver of the car behind who was trying to overtake her did not react in time and the car rear-ended her. According to the description of the passengers in the car behind, the driver of the car behind was dissatisfied with the driver in front, so he wanted to speed up to catch up with her..."
"The accident caused one person to be slightly injured and two people to be seriously injured. We appeal to everyone to keep calm while driving and not to cause irreversible consequences for the sake of venting anger."
The picture on TV was in the dark, and the female reporter was standing under the street light, reporting the accident that had just happened clearly.
The accident scene was handled extremely quickly, and Lu Shizhen saw that only the wreckage of the car was left in the background.
Aunt Sun looked carefully, pointed at the familiar license plate not far away, and said, "Miss, isn't this..."
Of course Lu Shizhen saw it too.
And she also noticed the bloodstains that were unnoticeable in the dark.
With such a serious traffic accident, Luo Ji’s condition should not be considered very good.
What would happen if Xu Shiyue’s very important assistant lost his combat ability in the later period
Lu Shizhen's heart suddenly sank.
And just when the news was finished, the TV screen was suddenly paused.
The door of the villa was opened from the outside, and a man in a suit and tie walked in slowly.
He just looked at Xu Shiyue who was having breakfast in the restaurant and said with a smile: "Miss Xu, there was really a big scene last night."
