Xu Shiyue was wearing a light pink home suit with white floral patterns. It was so simple that no design could be seen.
The somewhat loose design didn't seem to hold on the girl's thin body, so after loosening one button, it slid down.
The pure cotton fabric is kneaded together, and it feels a bit dull and soft when the light shines on it, and it can't be said to be very delicate.
But the shoulder that was exposed was as delicate and warm as a jade carving. The thin shoulder straps hung on the white shoulders, and the marks left by pressure were lightly red, which was particularly eye-catching.
People always say clothes complement a person, but few people know that some people don’t need clothes to complement them at all.
The gentle light in the room and the moonlight outside the window shine from top to bottom, making the entire room clear and bright.
Xu Shiyue took the initiative to pin her troublesome long hair to the other side, leaving the left half of her back exposed to the air.
This was the first time Lu Shizhen saw a girl’s back.
Light always favors beautiful people. The light in the room followed Lu Shizhen's line of sight and carefully depicted the girl's back.
Just like the arm she had just seen, Xu Shiyue's back also revealed a cool and gentle elegance like jade, and without the long hair covering her neck, her neck was smooth and soft.
This curve supported by the delicate bones is more perfect than any other figure she has ever copied.
The back exposed to the air was straight but not rigid, as if the Creator had shaped an excellent skeletal framework and then bestowed the most exquisite skin with special love on her.
The two echoed each other, forming a lonely half of a butterfly bone in Lu Shizhen's sight.
But Lu Shizhen frowned slightly when he looked at her like this.
Right on Xu Shiyue's beautiful butterfly bone, there was a glaring red mark, long and thin with blood clots, like a butterfly with broken wings. Even looking at it from a distance, people couldn't help but feel pity and pain.
Lu Shizhen just watched and couldn't help but raise his hand.
She carefully touched Xu Shiyue's butterfly bone, which was the mark on the shoulder blade, and asked cautiously, "Is it here?"
"Yeah." Xu Shiyue nodded, and then asked: "I can't see it, is there a trace here?"
Her voice was still calm and cold, not becoming weak at all because the wound was seen by others.
But it was precisely because of this that the last half of her statement made people feel sad.
Lu Shizhen knew that Xu Shiyue's injury was caused when they rolled down the stairs this afternoon. She felt sad and full of self-blame.
She took out a cotton swab and carefully applied the ointment, saying, "The wound is not serious, but it may be a little painful. Just bear with it."
"Okay." Xu Shiyue nodded, and sat in front of Lu Shizhen with her back to him, just as quietly as before.
The osmanthus tree swayed in the night wind, and its leaves with golden flowers disturbed the shadows of the two people.
Because he wanted to apply medicine to Xu Shiyue better, Lu Shizhen took the initiative to lean forward and get closer to her.
The cool medicine was rolled over the cotton swab to apply a light white ointment to the injured butterfly bone, and it did not emit much smell in the room.
The temporary approach did not lead to a quick separation, and it was at this time that Lu Shizhen smelled an indescribable fragrance.
The scent wafted slowly from Xu Shiyue's body. It was a little bland, but it carried a scent that was warmed by body temperature.
It smelled just like the girls she had heard people describe in the past.
Clean and spotless.
It was the first time that Lu Shizhen smelled such a scent, and she couldn't help but stop for a moment.
The smell seemed to welcome her as an uninvited guest. It went straight into her nostrils and slowly fell on her empty heart as she breathed.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew up, disturbing the calm.
Lu Shizhen paused for a moment.
Then she somehow avoided Xu Shiyue and distanced herself from him again.
The red bruises had been almost completely covered with the ointment. Lu Shizhen blinked a few times and said, "... Well, it's done."
Hearing this, Xu Shiyue slowly turned around and said, "Thank you."
The cotton swab made a slight sound when it was thrown into the trash can. Xu Shiyue silently tidied her clothes, but her eyes were lowered to look at the blurry figure of Lu Shizhen.
The wound on the shoulder blade was not a serious injury. She just wanted to test Lu Shizhen.
Xu Shiyue also knew the danger of his temptation, but somehow he wanted to give it a try.
Go and try to see if this person is really as open and honest and a gentleman as she has appeared to be these days.
As if beyond her expectation, and as if just as she wished, Lu Shizhen really withstood her temptation.
There were no unnecessary movements and no greasy words.
She just sat behind him, applying medicine to him carefully and even breathing cautiously.
The moonlight fell softly on the girl's calm profile, and her crow-feather-like eyelashes were lowered.
She thought that although there were still many strange things about this person that she couldn't understand, he was indeed more trustworthy than before.
"10"
The surroundings were quiet, and the mechanical broadcast of the points system suddenly rang in Lu Shizhen's ears.
Her hands, which were packing things, suddenly paused, and white liquid sprayed on her fingers.
Lu Shizhen looked at Xu Shiyue in disbelief as she silently sorted her clothes.
The light fell on her face, and beneath her long hair she was still as calm and undetectable as usual.
I just gave her medicine at her request, and that gives me extra points
Isn’t it a bit…
The word "careless" had not even come out of Lu Shizhen's mind before she strangled it in her heart.
How can this be considered hasty? How can you think it is hasty for Xu Shiyue to give himself extra points
The main system hears this and thinks that you have objections to the extra points and revokes them for you. What if
As Lu Shizhen thought about this, he immediately looked around furtively.
Then, after making sure there were no surveillance cameras around, she withdrew her gaze.
But just at this moment, her sight stopped.
"Why?"
Lu Shizhen's doubtful voice came softly but clearly into Xu Shiyue's ears. She had heard Lu Shizhen make such a doubtful sound a long time ago, and she couldn't help but pause in the action of adjusting her collar.
The worry that had just been put down was lifted up again, and Xu Shiyue asked calmly: "What's wrong?"
"You seem to have a small scar on your forehead." Lu Shizhen looked at Xu Shiyue's forehead, which was exposed because she lowered her head. As he spoke, he moved closer to her and carefully tapped it with his clean hand, pointing, "Here."
The girl's fingers were as warm as ever, and they touched Xu Shiyue's forehead.
She was still so reckless that Xu Shiyue was caught off guard, but her careful control of her strength made her heart, which had just been tense, relax a little.
"It looks like it was done before, and the scar hasn't faded yet." Lu Shizhen judged, and seemed to remember something. Looking at the ointment that he had just squeezed into his palm, he continued: "It just so happens that I squeezed out some extra ointment just now, let me apply it on you."
After saying that, the enthusiastic citizen Ms. Lu spread out her palm which was filled with a lot of ointment.
The slender fingers gently tapped the ointment twice and then moved it towards Xu Shiyue's forehead.
Xu Shiyue didn't have the chance to refuse at all, and just let Lu Shizhen approach her.
The light passed through the tiny distance between the two people, depicting Lu Shizhen's current appearance in Xu Shiyue's sight.
Like a blurred lens that someone was trying to wipe over and over, Xu Shiyue just looked at the person in front of him with an aimless gaze. The picture should have been blurry, but because of the magnification of a single part, it had a rare clarity.
This was not the first time Xu Shiyue had seen Lu Shizhen's eyes. Not long ago, when this man had persuaded her to strive for the top position, she had also seen her eyes for a moment when she was very close to him.
Those dark pupils shone as brightly as ever, as if they were carefully carved from rare gems.
But compared to her extremely reckless impulsiveness last time, this time Xu Shiyue saw calm seriousness in her eyes.
The bright black eyes were slightly raised upwards, and the blinking eyelashes fell into Xu Shiyue's sight again and again.
This person was completely focused, with his attention fixed on the small light brown scar on his forehead.
They were so close that their noses did not touch each other, but their breaths inevitably intertwined and blended, falling warmly on Xu Shiyue's face below.
It has a light rose scent, but also has a hint of Chinese medicine.
Sweetness and bitterness are intertwined together. They are obviously the two most contradictory things, but they match each other just right, refreshing the heart, and slip into Xu Shiyue's nostrils imperceptibly.
The slightly cool ointment was warmed by the temperature between people's fingers, and swirled around her forehead in circles.
The more serious Lu Shizhen was, the more obvious it was that Xu Shiyue was distracted.
It was clearly a blurry world, but Xu Shiyue was able to see clearly into this person's eyes.
She suddenly felt inexplicably that the whole world was like being stirred by the finger stained with ointment, and suddenly became warm.
It's a strange and indescribable feeling that makes people feel like they are out of control.
Xu Shiyue remained silent and lowered his eyelashes.
No one spoke in the quiet room.
I don’t know how long it took, but finally, Lu Shizhen finished applying the medicine to Xu Shiyue and raised his hand neatly: "It’s done."
The girl's voice sounded particularly relaxed.
As if because of the extra points he just got, Lu Shizhen's tone was not as restrained as before, and he was even a little narcissistic: "Look, it's a good thing I'm here, otherwise, once this mark is established, it will be difficult for me to go there in the future."
Xu Shiyue hesitated to raise her eyelashes, and said calmly: "Thank you."
Lu Shizhen waved his hand: "You're welcome."
As Lu Shizhen's fingers left, the heat on Xu Shiyue's forehead also faded away.
She didn't like this strange feeling very much, so she rearranged her clothes, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore."
Lu Shizhen glanced at the time and did not wait for Xu Shiyue. She took the initiative to stand up and act as her guide stick: "Okay, I'll take you out."
Lu Shizhen put his arm in front of Xu Shiyue, and she raised her hand to hold it.
The pace of the two people was still not fast, but it was only a few steps from Lu Shizhen's room to Xu Shiyue's room. After a while, Lu Shizhen sent Xu Shiyue to the door of her room.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest." Lu Shizhen said.
"Okay." Xu Shiyue nodded, then raised his hand and grasped the familiar door handle.
But just as she was about to push the door open, a voice came from behind her, where the door should have closed: "Good night, Xu Shiyue."
The dim light illuminated a corner of the corridor, and Xu Shiyue paused as he pushed the door.
She thought she shouldn't reply to this man like that and was about to walk into the room.
Lu Shizhen sighed softly, feeling a little lost.
Just as she turned around to go back to her room, a cold voice came through the night.
"Good night, Lu Shizhen."
The man hid half of his body behind the door, and before he finished speaking, a click was heard in the corridor, trying to cover up his words.
.
The sun was especially cooperative during the rare two-day weekend, providing sunny days, and even the bleakness of autumn was alleviated a lot.
The warm sunlight made the room cozy, and fell brightly and brilliantly on the girl who was sleeping on the quilt, giving her dreams a beautiful golden look.
At this moment, Lu Shizhen was standing on the ground that seemed to be made of cotton clouds, looking up at the sky full of clouds.
The system's points were like ancient gold coins, clattering down from the clouds and spreading in piles on the ground, so many that they were about to bury her.
And Xu Shiyue was sitting on the most beautiful cloud, her clothes fluttering in the wind, without a speck of dust on her.
She looked down at Lu Shizhen who was standing on a pile of bonus coins and asked in a cold voice, "Do you want more?"
Lu Shizhen looked at her rapidly increasing points in the system and jumped happily on the pile of gold coins: "Yes! Yes! I want more!"
This was supposed to be a test by the gods to see if humans were greedy.
But after hearing Lu Shizhen's request, Xu Shiyue really waved his hand, and the clouds instantly became like rain, and began to drop gold coins for Lu Shizhen.
"Hehehe, Xu Shiyue you are so nice... Hehehe, I want more... Xu Shiyue... give me more..."
Lu Shizhen rolled around on the bed, lying in a "big" shape, letting herself go. Her dazed voice was filled with a silly smile.
She just touched the gold coins piled at her feet and watched the rapidly changing numbers in the points system.
Just as she was watching the main system coming towards her, the "system sales champion", and flattering her, there was a sudden knock on the door.
“Dangdang.”
Lu Shizhen frowned, but didn't care and continued to watch the main system walking towards her.
“Dangdang.”
But before the main system came over, the annoying voice came again.
Lu Shizhen still didn't want to pay attention, but she didn't expect the main system to suddenly disappear, and the gold coins under her feet turned into powder. The fluttering golden color merged into one piece and turned into sunlight falling into the room.
Dream
The eyes that were forced open were full of confusion, and Lu Shizhen just stared at the ceiling above his sight without focus.
No way, are all those bonus coins she has fake
The knocking continued, and the person outside the door seemed to be impatient. After knocking carefully for the third time, he pushed the door open a crack and called softly, "Miss, are you awake?"
Wake up, but don't want to wake up.
Lu Shizhen was thinking in her heart and didn't want to speak.
She was not feeling lost, but she was feeling lost because she thought the dream was reality but suddenly woke up.
Her points...
She hasn't seen the recognition from the main system yet!
After Aunt Sun's voice fell, the room became quiet with only the sound of the breathing light.
Seeing that Lu Shizhen had opened her eyes, Aunt Sun said to her carefully, "Miss, it's nine o'clock, and the young master has been waiting for you downstairs for an hour."
When Lu Shizhen heard the key word "young master", he sat up in shock from his dying illness, "Brother?"
She quickly got up and changed her clothes, then asked, "Why did he come here suddenly? Is there anything wrong?"
"The young master heard about what happened yesterday afternoon and came here early in the morning," said Aunt Sun.
Lu Shizhen was confused: "He heard? Where did he hear it from?"
"Miss, are you confused?" Aunt Sun looked puzzled. "Young Master cares about you so much, how could he not let him know about what happened yesterday?"
"Ah... I really forgot." Lu Shizhen suddenly realized.
I have a sister complex.
Without this flash of concern and worry, and the ability to always pay attention to your sister's safety, how can you be called a sister complex
Soon, Lu Shizhen changed her clothes with the help of Aunt Sun and walked down the stairs slowly.
The living room was very close to the stairs. From a distance, Lu Shizhen saw Lu Shize sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
The gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, and his black hair was loosely blocking his eyebrows, revealing a sharp look between his brows.
Even though he and the bodyguard standing next to him were wearing the same black suit, he looked ten levels higher than them.
This is nothing more than a scoundrel in gentlemanly circles.
As he looked at this, the person being watched looked towards Lu Shizhen.
In an instant, the sharpness between his eyebrows disappeared, and Lu Shize's voice became gentle: "Zhenzhen, are you awake?"
"Yeah." Lu Shizhen nodded, "Brother has been waiting for a long time."
"No, I just sat there for a while." Lu Shize put down the newspaper in his hand and asked with concern: "How was it, did you have a nightmare last night?"
Lu Shizhen shook her head: "I slept very well last night."
"No way, I see you have dark circles under your eyes." Lu Shize didn't believe it, "I have already asked your school for a long vacation. Don't go to school until your leg injury is healed."
Lu Shizhen was a little surprised when she heard this: "Isn't this a bad idea?"
Lu Shize said, "What's wrong with that? Your class is on the second floor. You are disabled, what if you fall down again?"
Then he looked at Lu Shizhen who sat next to him and asked, "Zhenzhen, tell me the truth, is it because Xu Shiyue's matter recently took up too much of your energy that you fell down the stairs?"
Seeing that Lu Shize was showing signs of taking his anger out on Xu Shiyue, Lu Shizhen quickly denied it, "That's not true, brother."
"Really?" Lu Shize didn't believe it.
"Really." Lu Shizhen continued to nod, looking at Lu Shize with a firm look.
Suddenly, Lu Shize sighed for some reason.
He just looked at Lu Shizhen, his tone somewhat serious: "Zhenzhen, Xu Shiyue and you are not from the same world, do you understand?"
"The Xu family is not like ours. Xu Shiyue's second uncle is not an easy person to deal with. Many things in the business world are not as simple as they seem. I don't want you to go through this. I just hope you can be worry-free forever."
Lu Shize spoke earnestly, and Lu Shizhen could of course understand what he meant.
The Xu family had caused such a big incident last time that he even had to clean up the mess himself. As such a sister-con, how could he let his sister be in any danger
However, no matter whether it was her present self or the original owner in the past, none of them made him worry-free.
Lu Shizhen felt a little sad when he thought that in the end his identity would also disappear in the fire according to the script.
But her sadness didn't last long, and she was interrupted by Lu Shize: "Zhenzhen, brother is like mother, and doesn't object to you liking girls. In fact, you haven't met many people yet, you can go out and see more. Xu Shiyue is not the only beautiful girl in the world, you should go out and make more friends."
As he spoke, Lu Shize took out a dozen photos from the inside pocket of his suit.
"This is Uncle Li's daughter. You and Zhenzhen went to the same kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school. You didn't separate until her family moved to City A in high school. I remember you often brought her home to play when you were little. You two were childhood sweethearts. Zhenzhen, do you still remember her?"
"This is Aunt Wang's daughter, one year older than you. She's a pretty good kid. She won the gold medal in the adult category of this year's national piano competition. She's very talented. I saw you two got along pretty well at last year's New Year's Eve dinner, and she really wants to make friends with you."
"This is Assistant Director Sun's sister. Don't you run into her sometimes when you come to my office? This girl looks weak and frail, but she's very capable. She was admitted to S University last year and received a full scholarship. If you have any questions about your studies, you can go and ask her."
As Lu Shize introduced it, clear quality photos were placed in front of Lu Shizhen. The people standing in front of the backgrounds that were either luxurious and dazzling or fresh and natural were all beautiful in their own ways.
Lu Shizhen sat there, completely stunned. She felt like her brother seemed to have misunderstood something.
It seemed like there was no misunderstanding.
The original owner is not a straight woman.
But she is a straight girl! A straight girl!
A straight woman who is even straighter than Mr. Zhang who stands guard at the door!
Besides, she is not yet an adult!
Shouldn't these parents have nipped this idea in the bud
Why didn’t the original owner’s mother stop it, and even the original owner’s brother didn’t stop it
Is there something wrong with her youth romance story?!
"And this, this is..."
Just as Lu Shize was about to put another photo in front of Lu Shizhen, Lu Shizhen stood up suddenly: "Brother!"
Lu Shize paused for a moment, a little frightened by Lu Shizhen's reaction: "Zhenzhen...what's wrong with you?"
"Brother, I have absolutely no intention of falling in love right now." Lu Shizhen said to Lu Shize in a strong voice, "I'm already in my third year of high school, and I'll be taking the college entrance exam next year. Time is very tight right now, and I still have to complete my mother's target in the final exam. I really don't have time to make friends with other girls!"
When she spoke of Lu Shizhen, she couldn't help but express her doubts to her brother and the world: "And brother, don't you know that it is forbidden for minors to fall in love?! This kind of behavior will be reported and blocked on a certain green reading software!!"
"Lock... text?" Lu Shize's puzzlement became even worse.
Lu Shizhen didn't give him a chance to figure it out. As she spoke, she took the photos on the table and in Lu Shize's hand and said, "I'm going to take all these photos. Brother, please don't introduce girls to me. All I want now is studying."
After saying that, Lu Shizhen hurriedly put away the photos and limped to the second floor.
However, one of the photos that were being put away accidentally fell out and floated towards the stairs.
Lu Shizhen took a few quick steps to chase it, but as soon as it landed on the ground, it was pinned down by the paw of a falling dog.
The sunlight fell sideways from the window into the stairwell, and the shadows on the steps blocked Lu Shizhen's sunlight.
She slowly raised her head and saw Xu Shiyue walking down from upstairs holding Yuanzi, his silent eyes looking down at her calmly and condescendingly.
