There was a hint of laughter in the man's voice, yet it was so low and oppressive.
Xu Shiyue did not recognize the voice, nor was he familiar with the vague shadow in his mind.
She didn't know whether the Lu family's security was reliable, nor did she know whether the people from the Xu family were really so unscrupulous, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Then a figure fell in front of her sight, and the blocked light carried a faint rose scent.
Lu Shizhen stood in front of her.
Xu Shiyue was protected by someone behind him.
The hand that secretly grasped the bread knife was full of vigilance, but there was also a hint of hesitation that was barely noticeable.
She didn't expect this person to come and protect her.
The sunlight from outside the window fell sideways into the room, drawing a line between Lu Shizhen and the man not far away.
Lu Shizhen did not inherit the original owner's memory and did not recognize this man. However, this stranger was able to control the TV at home, enter the house unimpeded, and look like a scoundrel. Isn't this enough to make people alert
She had gambled all her points last night to get Xu Shiyue back, and she couldn't let her make any mistakes again.
He was just being alert. For some reason, Lu Shizhen felt that the voice sounded a little familiar.
Before she could figure out the question, Aunt Sun, who had been in the kitchen, walked out quickly and greeted the man who suddenly walked in respectfully, "Young Master."
Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment.
This man who is not friendly to Xu Shiyue is actually the original owner's brother who has a sister complex
As if sensing Lu Shizhen's doubt, Lu Shize took the initiative to ask, "Zhenzhen, why don't you say hello to your brother?"
The voice was not only gentler than before, but also sounded a little lost.
Lu Shizhen had no experience in dealing with this, so she tried to imagine the original owner's appearance, called Lu Shize "brother", and then asked, "Why are you here?"
"Yesterday's incident caused such a big fuss that my mother also knows about it."
As Lu Shize spoke, he raised his hand and pressed the remote control in his hand, and the TV news that he had paused completely exited the interface.
The dark TV screen emitted several radio waves that seemed to be connected, and then Ms. Cheng Meiyan's face appeared on the screen.
There is a big time difference between the country she went to and her own country, and the sky on the other side of the camera was already dark.
She came back from somewhere shopping, with delicate makeup and a big smile on her face, and greeted everyone here: "Hello, my darlings, did you miss me after not seeing me for a few days?"
"Mom." Lu Shizhen didn't expect Cheng Meiyan to show up, and she was a little flustered for a moment.
You know, the original owner has always been a very good and excellent child in front of her family. What if she gets exposed
However, Cheng Meiyan doesn't need Lu Shizhen to deal with it.
She walked around her daughter and looked directly at Xu Shiyue who was standing behind her: "Shiyue, how are you? I was scared to death when I heard about this incident this afternoon. Are you scared?"
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm fine." Xu Shiyue shook his head calmly and put down the knife in his hand without making a sound.
"Oh my." Then there was a cry of surprise from the TV. Cheng Meiyan's gentle and kind expression suddenly turned into nervousness. She stared at the medical gauze on Xu Shiyue's face, "Why is there such a big Band-Aid on your face? Are you okay?"
Thinking that Xu Shiyue was still unconscious when she came back yesterday, Lu Shizhen explained for her: "Don't worry, Mom, it's not a big wound. Doctor Qin checked it yesterday and it's very shallow. We're afraid it will be infected by bacteria in the air."
"Oh, that's good." Cheng Meiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and felt even more sympathetic. "You must be scared, Shiyue."
"Not bad." Xu Shiyue shook his head, still looking calm and relaxed.
"What's good about that?" Cheng Meiyan was different. She was always straightforward and would complain whenever she had something to complain about. "Your two uncles are really bad guys, and they are blood relatives. If you were sitting in the car at that time, the consequences would be disastrous."
"They still want to ask me for someone. I shouldn't reject them over the phone. I should just fly over and slap them in the face right there."
Speaking of excitement, Cheng Meiyan even gestured twice in the video.
Lu Shize stood aside and coughed twice, reminding Cheng Meiyan, "Mom."
Cheng Meiyan reacted immediately, smiled and retracted her hand that was across the video, and said, "I'm sorry, Shiyue, Auntie is not a person who advocates violence."
Xu Shiyue shook his head.
She couldn't see what Cheng Meiyan was doing on the other end of the TV, and she didn't mind her frankness.
Because of yesterday’s incident, Xu Shiyue found that his vision had become less clear again.
Cheng Meiyan on the screen was just a vague outline to her. The light and shadow changed in her sight, but could not depict her movements.
It's a coincidence.
The improvement in her eyesight was just an illusion, just like her fantasy these days.
No one noticed the gloom that flashed across the girl's eyes. Cheng Meiyan thought about the family affairs of Xu Shiyue that she had just mentioned, and then comforted her: "Shiyue, don't worry about what will happen next. Shi Ze will do the aftermath. I will go to the Xu family and deny them. I promise you that they will never harass you or have any bad intentions towards you."
Cheng Meiyan's words were powerful and she was even more confident than the last time she confronted Sun Chenchen's mothers.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shize raised his hand and motioned for the people outside to come in.
I saw several burly men walking into the villa with powerful steps. They were wearing dark suits like a wall. "Hello, ladies! From now on, your safety will be protected by us!"
Lu Shizhen listened to this loud voice and felt as if his cognition was refreshed.
She only knew that the original owner's family was powerful and was one of the top figures in S City, but she didn't expect that they even had the capital to challenge the Xu family.
No wonder the original owner in the original text was able to keep Xu Shiyue’s affairs at home so secretive that the Xu family didn’t even find out a single thing in the end.
Why would such a good family do anything wrong and break the law
Lu Shizhen felt deeply sorry in his heart, then turned to Xu Shiyue and said, "Now you can stay here with peace of mind."
The sunlight fell on the girl's face. She lowered her eyes and listened to Lu Shizhen's words without answering for a while.
Xu Shiyue admitted that he was indeed impulsive this time.
She and Luo Ji were too naive to think they were still in the past.
But the person who supported them has fallen, and now they are left with nothing, and no one will be willing to stand on their side.
What's more, her current state makes it impossible for her to win the trust of most people. Who would risk losing their job or even their family life to listen to the orders of a blind orphan girl
Lu Shizhen was right. The most important thing in the Lu family was to take good care of your health.
She not only wants to survive, but also wants to live well.
The huge villa was quiet, and someone was thinking silently.
But before Lu Shizhen could wait for Xu Shiyue's answer, Cheng Meiyan's voice came through the screen.
"Zhenzhen."
Lu Shizhen immediately became like a student who was suddenly called by the teacher during class. Every pore on her body tensed up: "Mom."
"Have you thought about the explanation that your mother asked you to think of?" Cheng Meiyan held her chin, tapping her face with indigo nails, and asked with a gentle smile.
This time, not only was my name called in class, but I was also called upon to check my homework and suddenly realized that I hadn't done it yet.
Lu Shizhen suddenly became more nervous, and her left hand involuntarily clasped the palm of her right hand: "Um... Mom, I..."
Cheng Meiyan looked at her daughter's little action, snorted and laughed, and waved her hand: "Okay, you don't have to explain. It doesn't matter what, you did the right thing this time."
Lu Shizhen was suddenly as if she had been pardoned. Just as she was about to thank Cheng Meiyan, she was choked by her next sentence: "But if I want Shiyue to stay at home, I have a condition."
"Whether you two are adults or not, you are still high school students who are about to take the college entrance examination. Your main task is to study, study, and study."
"So, for this semester's final exam, please make sure you all get into the top 50 in your grade."
Cheng Meiyan's smile was exceptionally gentle, but her eyes revealed an irresistible pressure.
Lu Shizhen swallowed, and all that was struggling in his heart was rejection.
Her grades in her original world were not very good, and she forgot all the knowledge after graduating from high school.
After a round of review at school these days, she felt that it would be great if she could maintain her position in the top 100 in her grade without falling behind.
Top 50 in the grade...
Why do you have to make things difficult for her, a poor student
She has paid so much for her legs.
Maybe she noticed the subtle expression on Lu Shizhen's face, Cheng Meiyan said as she looked at Xu Shiyue who was standing beside her: "Shiyue, our Zhenzhen has never been in the top 50 in her grade. Can you help her more when you have time?"
Lu Shizhen looked at the expectation on Cheng Meiyan's face and couldn't bear to see her disappointed later.
How could she be willing to let Xu Shiyue tutor her in her homework
Even though I got a high score last night, judging from the scoring bug that hasn't been fixed yet, Xu Shiyue's impression of me wouldn't be that high.
Not only do we stay in the same room, we also have to help each other study.
It's just a farce...
"Don't worry, Auntie."

Before Lu Shizhen could utter the word "Tan", Xu Shiyue's voice interrupted her thoughts.
She tilted her head and looked at Xu Shiyue who was standing beside her with a huge question mark on her face.
The sunlight fell on the girl's thin body, casting her upright figure on the wall.
She just stood there, her expression calm, and there was no emotion in her voice, let alone disgust: "Lu Shizhen, if you don't know anything, you can come to me."
A crisis always makes people panic, and only by calming down can rationality return to its original place.
Xu Shiyue did not let down his guard against Lu Shizhen. There was still a question mark behind the name "Lu Shizhen".
But she understood that she needed to stay here and bide her time.
And this condition is the bargaining chip that allows her to stay in this place.
The smile on Cheng Meiyan's face suddenly became even more intense.
She leaned on the table and said to Lu Shizhen with a smile: "Did you hear that? Zhenzhen, you should ask Shiyue for advice."
"By the way, Zhenzhen, I heard from your teacher Wu yesterday that you guys have an exam today, so why don't we go ask Shiyue tonight?"
Taking advantage of the fact that Xu Shiyue couldn't see, Cheng Meiyan gave Lu Shizhen a look that contained a hint of instigation.
Lu Shizhen didn't know for a moment whether Cheng Meiyan was a friendly force or someone here to cause trouble for him. He forced himself to maintain a smile on his face and nodded.
The night is as black as ink, and the dark clouds blocking the moonlight seem to be filled with infinite sorrow.
Lu Shizhen stood in front of Xu Shiyue's room holding the comprehensive science test paper in his hand, with a worried look on his face: "Qiuqiu, is there any precedent in your system where someone was deducted points because they were disliked for being too stupid?"
Hearing this number, Lu Shizhen took a breath of cold air.
In the past, she wouldn't have thought anything of it when she heard this number, because those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
But she really has 100 points now, and she really doesn't want to lose a single point...
"Boom, boom, boom."
"Dongdong..."
The antique clock in the living room downstairs chimed the hour, coinciding with the footsteps coming from the stairwell.
Aunt Sun, who came to deliver something, saw Lu Shizhen standing at the door of Xu Shiyue's room and was reluctant to come in. She thought she was shy and took the initiative to open the door for her: "Miss, why don't you go in? Don't keep Miss Xu waiting for too long."
Aunt Sun really is worthy of being the family's housekeeper. With just one word and one move, she blocked all of Lu Shizhen's escape routes.
The test paper made a slight sound when it was held, and she just stood at the door of Xu Shiyue's room, with no way to retreat.
"Ms. Xu, please don't be surprised. Our young lady is used to being alone and she needs to slowly adapt." Aunt Sun got Cheng Meiyan's instruction and enthusiastically pushed Lu Shizhen to sit on the chair next to Xu Shiyue's desk.
The two chairs were originally placed side by side. Aunt Sun arranged for Lu Shizhen to sit down, and their shoulders were crossed and leaned against each other.
The tray with things made a slight sound when it was placed on the table. Heat passed between the two of them, and the thin fabric transmitted the warmth between them without any gap.
Because they were too close, Lu Shizhen could smell the faint fragrance in Xu Shiyue's hair, and the sound of her weak heartbeat beating against her chest again. She even suspected that this was the faint abnormal consciousness of the original owner that remained in this body, reacting to her contact with Xu Shiyue.
This was the first time the two had such contact while both were awake at the same time.
Perhaps it was because this incident happened too suddenly that they all fell silent at the same time.
Aunt Sun, the culprit, was unaware of the embarrassment of the two at the moment. She smiled and held the door handle: "The fruit plate, coffee, and tea have been placed for the two young ladies. No one will come to disturb you from now on."
Then the sound of a door closing was heard in the room, and the light from the corridor was completely blocked by the door.
Lu Shizhen was like a rabbit that had been untied. He immediately lifted up his chair, as if trying to save his precarious points, and moved outwards with great discretion: "Um, sorry."
Xu Shiyue shook her head slightly. Her voice remained calm and she asked without any fluctuation: "Have you checked the answers on the test paper?"
"Yeah." Lu Shizhen nodded, feeling a little nervous as she looked at the test paper in her hand that had been annotated with a red pen.
"How many points do you estimate you can get?" Xu Shiyue asked, adjusting her hair.
No one noticed that there was a blush hidden under the long hair hanging by the ears.
"Biology 83, Chemistry 89, Physics..." Lu Shizhen was very confident at first, but when it came to Physics, his voice became weaker and even a little unclear, "65 conservatively."
The sharp tip of the pen scratched on the paper, and the Braille written out recorded the results that Zhen had mentioned when he landed.
Xu Shiyue's expression did not change much as she commented, "Biology and chemistry are both OK, but I failed physics."
This evaluation was fair and straightforward, but Lu Shizhen didn't want to give Xu Shiyue a first impression that her grades were not good. She struggled and muttered softly, "Just one point short."
"It's hard to get into the top 50 if you're one point short," Xu Shiyue reminded.
Her voice sounded serious, with a touch of meticulousness from the late period.
Lu Shizhen immediately sat aside obediently, pursing her lips like a little quail.
"Judging from your scores in the three subjects, you can handle the knowledge points in biochemistry by yourself. I will focus on physics in your future tutoring." Xu Shiyue analyzed and took out the Braille textbook on his desk slowly. "You failed physics because your basics are not good enough. It's useless to just solve these wrong questions. Let's start with the basics."
"Okay." Lu Shizhen agreed immediately.
Having just sensed Xu Shiyue's serious attitude, Lu Shizhen immediately followed suit.
She thought that even if she really couldn't learn it, with such a good learning attitude, Xu Shiyue wouldn't make it difficult for her... Just follow her own points.
But things often don't go as planned.
Xu Shiyue's explanation of basic knowledge points was carried out in an orderly manner, and Lu Shizhen's blinking eyes also blinked extremely regularly.
The girl's upright sitting posture just now became like a branch bent by the wind, and slowly, slowly, it lowered.
I held the pen in my hand and wrote down the formula on the notebook paper, watching the tail of the "y" getting longer and longer...
Slowly, slowly, the eyes that opened and closed had been closed for nine seconds.
"Host, host, don't sleep!"
Suddenly, Qiuqiu's anxious voice exploded in Lu Shizhen's ears.
The girl's head suddenly fell down and stopped a second before hitting the table.
Lu Shizhen looked around like a rabbit that was suddenly awakened.
But she found that the pen in her hand had slipped to the bottom of the notebook, and a "y" made her stretch it as long as the notebook.
The sound of Xu Shiyue explaining the knowledge points was still coming steadily to his ears, and Lu Shizhen found out guiltily that he had just fallen asleep.
"Oh my goodness."
Qiuqiu floated beside Lu Shizhen, looking at her incoherent notes, and said, "Host, you will lose points if you continue like this."
Lu Shizhen made a bitter face as she looked at the crooked formula she had written down in the notebook: "But I'm so sleepy, Qiuqiu."
"There is magic in this world! It makes me want to sleep as soon as I read the physics book!"
Qiuqiu listened to Lu Shizhen's statement that the responsibility was attributed to the world, and said with a look of "Do you think I believe it?": "Host..."
"Doesn't your system have a cheat code that can automatically fill in knowledge? Or redeem points or memory bread." Lu Shizhen was whimsical, his eyes full of sincerity, "I can eat a lot."
Qiuqiu apologized: "I'm sorry, host, I'm just a junior system administrator and don't have this authority."
"… "
Lu Shizhen didn't want to talk anymore.
She had never learned physics in her original world. Now that she had graduated and gone to college, she had completely let herself go. It was almost like she had no basic knowledge at all when she was learning physics again.
Why do people who travel through books have all kinds of golden fingers and can use incredible buffs at will
But she has to save the heroine and learn physics, and if she doesn't learn physics well, she will face the risk of losing points!
Lu Shizhen felt that she might have been a bitter gourd raised by Xu Shiyue in her previous life.
I’m here to repay you in this life.
Seeing Lu Shizhen's distressed look, Qiuqiu, as a qualified system partner, worked quickly and said, "Host, don't be so stressed. It doesn't matter if you can't learn. I can provide the host with Xu Shiyue's teaching video. The host can watch it anytime he wants."
"That's a good idea." Lu Shizhen's eyes lit up. "Although I can't keep up now, the early bird catches the worm."
"And maybe if I study on my own, I won't feel so sleepy."
"Yes, host." Qiuqiu nodded frantically in agreement, "You'd better not fall asleep. This will definitely deduct points! Even if you are awake and distracted, it is better than falling asleep!"
"Right, right, right." Lu Shizhen agreed, holding her 100 points pitifully, shaking her head to wake herself up completely, "Any method is fine. She can't see it. I just need to stay awake."
Thinking of this, Lu Shizhen began to lose focus.
She looked around, staring at anything that could attract her attention and make her want to stay awake.
So from the vase in Xu Shiyue's room, to the bedside table, and then to plant number two.
But the double buff of physical and night power was too deadly, and Lu Shizhen's sleep progress bar kept dropping.
After she looked around Xu Shiyue's room, her eyes finally fell on the owner of the room.
Xu Shiyue was wearing loose home clothes, but her body was straight without any loose feeling.
Her long, smooth hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and the moonlight cast a halo on her.
Her hands slowly moved across the seemingly all-white book, quietly and silently feeling the words on the book with her fingers.
Lu Shizhen felt that Xu Shiyue had a mysterious magnetic field.
She is calm, and can infect others to be calm as well.
Xu Shiyue's voice was calm and slow as he narrated the knowledge points. His clear and cold voice had a kind of empty and pleasant sound in the night.
Lu Shizhen found that as long as she didn't listen carefully to what she said, she wouldn't even feel sleepy.
So Lu Shizhen was infected by her, as if he had found a panacea that would not deduct points. The drowsy feeling in the dark night was immediately repelled, and his eyes were completely on Xu Shiyue.
Compared to what he could see at a glance just now, Xu Shiyue could not summarize it in one word.
Her excellent bone structure can support her appearance even when she is in poor physical condition. Her light cherry-colored lips are slightly open and closed, with a hint of fullness that is not too cold.
The crow-feather-like eyes were slightly lowered, and the moonlight passed through the window in front of the desk, adding some brightness to the originally dim eyes.
Lu Shizhen felt that if Xu Shiyue could see, her eyes would definitely be like this, bright and shining, as if dotted with countless stars, or black pearls placed in the moonlight.
The rectangular window traps the moonlight from behind the osmanthus tree, which softly spills into the room.
And Xu Shiyue was sitting under that beam of moonlight.
really beautiful.
She was the kind of beauty that a straight woman like her couldn't bear to look away.
Thinking this way, Lu Shizhen slowly raised his hand and involuntarily placed his cheek on it.
She is indeed the heroine...
Just as Lu Shizhen's eyes were becoming increasingly unscrupulous, the girl in his sight suddenly stopped writing.
Then she saw the lips that she had just carefully drawn open slightly, and the words that originally spoke physical terms turned into her own name: "Lu Shizhen."
In just a moment, Lu Shizhen woke up completely.
Thinking that Xu Shiyue couldn't see, she quickly retracted her gaze, kept holding the pen, and looked like she was listening carefully. She was very confused about Xu Shiyue suddenly calling her name: "What's wrong?"
Xu Shiyue had a calm expression. She looked at the shadow that was slowly distancing itself from her and reminded him meaningfully, "You've been staring at my face for thirteen minutes. Are you still sleepy?"
