The current residence of the Lou family is located in the villa area in the core area of the ancient city of the imperial capital. There are no more than 20 houses here, most of which are built on the former sites of the ancient mansions. Heritage-level buildings are no exaggeration.
China's economic development in the last century was not as good as it is today, and many projects were in urgent need of financial support. These old houses were auctioned off in the name of the state to set up a special fund plan.
Although the owners of the other houses are not as well-off as the Lou family, they are all well-known businessmen in China. In order to help the country's key support projects, the transaction amount of the house they bought at the beginning actually far exceeded the actual value of the house. Therefore, even though the families have lived in mansions for many years, they have never been criticized by the public.
After the vehicle drove into the ancient city area, it went straight forward. The old house near the natural lake in the center of the villa area was the residence of Lou's family.
Li Zhiqing's memories of this place are much richer than those of Lou Garden. Seeing the familiar scene in the past quickly passing by the car window, Li Zhiqing always felt that his chest was stuffed with a ball of cotton dipped in water, and his expression of normalcy appeared. The momentary loosening, only looked out for a few seconds before looking away.
Fortunately, when he left the airport, he insisted that he didn't take the same car with Shen Qiongyan and the others, otherwise he might make his relatives feel uncomfortable again.
Li Zhiqing took a deep breath, lowered his eyes to adjust his state, he was about to pinch his knuckles subconsciously, when the back of his hand was suddenly wrapped in a cool body temperature.
Li Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, turned his head to the right, and his eyes directly fell into You Chuan's dark and deep eyes.
You Chuan's expression was indifferent, without saying a word, after covering the back of Li Zhiqing's hand, he didn't make any other unnecessary movements, just looked at him calmly.
This plot is somewhat familiar.
Li Zhiqing looked at You Chuan and thought about it for a while, remembering that he was holding his hand like this on the way to the Louyuan Garden to record the show, and the words he said later to comfort him were clumsy and old-fashioned, but surprisingly reassuring.
Thinking of this, the corners of Li Zhiqing's eyes couldn't help turning up.
He said "three two one" silently in his heart, You Chuan opened his mouth when he counted to one as expected, Li Zhiqing immediately spoke in front of him, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, although you are a big girl getting on the sedan chair today, It’s the first time to officially go to our house, but with me here, you don’t have to be afraid of anything.”
These are clearly the lines that You Chuan said to him before, but now they are all snatched by Li Zhiqing to "comfort" the original owner.
You Chuan saw him talking to him with a smile, and a smile slowly appeared in his calm eyes. Not only did he not feel helpless that Li Zhiqing made fun of him as a little wife, but he nodded indulgently, and followed his words. Answer: "Okay, you are here."
Li Zhiqing saw that he was so cooperative, his eyes curved even deeper, even when the car stopped in front of the stairs of the house, there was still an obvious smile on his face.
Shen Qiongyan and Lou Yu and his wife arrived a little earlier than them, and they were still worrying in the car whether the child would think of some messy things to find fault for himself after returning home, and now they saw Li Zhiqing and You Chuan through the car window Only when he smiled and talked did he let go of the big stone in his heart.
It is unambiguous that the wind blows in the northern winter.
The moment Li Zhiqing got out of the car, the cold wind poured down his neck, and before he had time to hiss, the ice knife that was wrapped around him suddenly broke.
He looked sideways and saw that You Chuan happened to be walking in the direction of the wind, relying on his height advantage to block the cold air and completely cover Li Zhiqing.
It's hard not to be moved by this instinctive sense of protection. Standing on the steps, Shen Qiongyan saw the interaction between the two clearly, and smiled with her lips pursed.
She didn't know that You Chuan was not afraid of the cold, and while she was relieved, she was afraid that the two of them would be frozen, so she was about to urge her, but Li Zhiqing saw that she was still waiting by the door, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, please go first!" Go in, it's too windy outside, don't catch cold."
Shen Qiongyan's heart felt hot when she heard the words, she couldn't bear to let her grandson worry about it, she answered with a smile, turned around and walked inside with Lou Yu and his wife first.
The heating in the main house is fully turned on, and the main door is closed when no one comes in or out, which cuts off the cold air outside and the movement inside.
As soon as Shen Qiongyan and the others entered, Li Zhiqing clearly heard a few cheerful barks coming from the door, before he stepped on the steps, the barks became louder and louder.
Li Zhiqing raised his head, and saw a glossy black dog flashing through the crack of the door, its ears pulled back, and the tail on its buttocks almost wagging a double image, it rushed straight towards Li Zhiqing, its posture was as fast as his It's the same as when I went to the "Emperor Record" interview.
This time Li Zhiqing recognized it, it was a Labrador raised at home, and it was called Black Hole.
The feeling of being warmly greeted by a dog is not so good, Li Zhiqing let out a "ha" happily, and was about to make preparations to prevent being staggered by the black hole, but the black hole slammed on the brakes less than two steps away from him, and Yu Guang glanced at You Chuan cleverly, his tail was still wagging vigorously, but the force of running towards Li Zhiqing was much lighter.
Li Zhiqing easily caught the big dog that was pounced on him, bent down and rubbed Hei Dong's head vigorously, responding to the dog's enthusiasm: "Be good, you are so obedient."
Hei Dong whimpered and rubbed against his arms, sticking out his tongue to lick Li Zhiqing's hand flatteringly.
Li Zhiqing was so excited by it that he couldn't even care about the cold for a while, and wanted to rub two more on Hei Dong's body, but You Chuan directly grabbed his coat collar from behind, and lifted him up: "Go in first. "
Li Zhiqing's hand was still on Hei Dong's head, and he was helplessly dragged into the door by You Chuan like a chick, causing the guards outside and the servants inside to hold back their laughter.
"Hey hey!" Li Zhiqing regained his freedom after being carried to the porch by him. He turned his head, and when You Chuan averted his gaze, he found the slight emotion in the other's eyes, and laughed "puchi".
What happened to this old fairy? How old can you be jealous of a dog
Seeing that the servant waiting at the entrance was worried about You Chuan's cold face, he hesitated whether to step forward, took the initiative to take off You Chuan and his coat, and said to You Chuan: "To tell you the truth, you are not allowed to talk to me. angry."
How could You Chuan get angry with him, so he naturally nodded.
"When I saw you for the first time, I thought your eyes were very similar to..." Li Zhiqing paused, then patted Hei Dong's head with a smile, "Our dog."
You Chuan didn't speak when he heard the words, he and Li Zhiqing looked at each other for a moment, eyelids rolled together, and looked down at the black dog around Li Zhiqing's feet.
The black hole snorted twice in his throat when he saw it, moved behind Li Zhiqing's legs, raised his dog's neck and tilted his head at You Chuan, blinking those bright black round eyes blankly.
Li Zhiqing had tried to imagine what would happen if You Chuan and the black hole appeared in the same picture before, now he looked up at You Chuan, then looked down at the black hole, and couldn't help laughing.
You Chuan turned his gaze back to him, even though his face was still expressionless, but Li Zhiqing somehow felt that the other party seemed to be wronged, he shook the corners of his mouth to stop laughing, and pulled him in: "I don't have anything else to say." It means that your eyes are too dark, and the eyes of the dog at home are also dark, so I can't help thinking about it."
He finally wanted to say, "I don't think you are very similar to my dog", but then he thought of You Chuan's clinginess and possessiveness, and then thought of the "loyal dog attribute" teased by fans, and silently swallowed these words into his stomach .
You Chuan still didn't speak, and reached out to stroke his hair, expressing that he understood what he meant.
Shen Qiongyan is getting older, and her mental and physical strength is not as good as before. She felt a little tired after getting off the plane, not to mention jet lag. After telling Li Zhiqing to drink the hot soup prepared in advance to dispel the cold, she went back to the bedroom to rest.
In order to personally go to the film festival to support Li Zhiqing, Lou Yu and his wife postponed their domestic work for a few days.
Although Li Zhiqing slept a lot on the plane, he didn't feel too tired, but he had just returned home today, and he had a big emotional ups and downs. He was worried that he would spend a lot of time at home and couldn't help thinking about it, so he simply decided to go back to his room to make up for it. After a while, let the brain completely calm down.
The furniture in Li Zhiqing's former bedroom was based on children's standards and could no longer be used. The adult's bedroom was located opposite the old bedroom.
He put himself on the bed, patted the place beside him, and signaled You Chuan to come over.
You Chuan obediently lay down next to him, wrapped his arms around him into his arms, did not kiss Li Zhiqing's face like before before going to bed, only took his chin lightly to touch Li Zhiqing's hair.
Li Zhiqing reached out and poked his chest: "Are you still arguing?"
You Chuan didn't speak.
"I didn't mean to associate you with the black hole." Li Zhiqing said.
You Chuan still didn't speak.
"Just the eyes, I swear."
As soon as Li Zhiqing raised his eyes again, You Chuan moved his arm holding him slightly.
Li Zhiqinglai looked up at You Chuan in his arms, and encouraged him to speak out with his eyes.
You Chuan stared at him for a while, hesitating to speak, and finally he was willing to tell Li Zhiqing what was in his heart: "You used to praise me for my good eyes."
Li Zhiqing couldn't understand the meaning of You Chuan's words for a while, blinked his eyes and thought about it, and after he understood it thoroughly, he couldn't help but bury his face in You Chuan's chest.
What You Chuan wanted to express was whether Li Zhiqing praised him for his good eyes before because his eyes resembled those of the dog at home.
Li Zhiqing held back his laughter and almost trembled all over.
The reason why the other party is awkward is because of his motives for boasting about himself, and why You Chuan is so cute even when he is in a dead end.
"Is there anything wrong with praising your good-looking eyes?" Li Zhiqing laughed enough, pulled his face out of You Chuan's arms, stretched out his hand to pinch You Chuan's chin, "I only compliment you because I really think you are good-looking."
Hearing what he said, the awkwardness in You Chuan's eyes finally began to disintegrate, he gave a soft "um", held Li Zhiqing tighter, kissed his forehead, and said, "Go to sleep."
Li Zhiqing followed with an "um", and as soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of the scene where You Chuan was standing opposite the black hole, hiding his grievance and awkwardness and looking at him, and still couldn't help laughing.
He intended to close his eyes and rest for a while, but being so protected by You Chuan, Li Zhiqing actually fell asleep slowly, and only opened his eyes in a daze when he felt hungry.
Now there is still some time before the evening meal, Li Zhiqing didn't want to miss the opportunity to have dinner with his family, so he just asked the kitchen to send some things that could fill his stomach.
He didn't eat at noon, and the servants at home were very attentive. They had already prepared tea and snacks for him when he woke up, and brought the food and other things along the way.
The servant put down the refreshments and handed Li Zhiqing a paper bag: "Master, this is from Ms. Liu Ruyi in the afternoon. You were resting at that time, so we didn't bother you."
Li Zhiqing took the document, thanked him with a smile, threw a piece of yam cake into his mouth, opened the paper bag with his hands, and took out a neatly bound typed manuscript from inside.
He flipped through it quickly, and it contained the information of two well-known information providers in the domestic circle. These two people not only have extensive contacts, but also have strong analytical skills. At first, they made profits by selling artist information to illegitimate fans. Later, I gradually started to start a business of digging deep into the black history of artists.
Wu Zhengyan bought the "black material" about Li Zhiqing by employing these two talents.
Such people are generally related households. The more they know that they are breaking the law, the more covert their business is. It's just a pity that the person who investigated them this time was Lou Yu.
When Lou Yu sent the result to Li Zhiqing, it was obvious that he was giving the initiative to Li Zhiqing and letting him handle it in his own way.
Gentlemen don’t lie to the dark room, Li Zhiqing’s way of solving problems has always been straightforward and straightforward. After reading the information, he was thinking about how to start from the root and directly destroy the entire tree that went up, when he found that there was an invitation letter in the paper bag.
Li Zhiqing opened it, raised his eyebrows, and smiled meaningfully.
— This was actually sent in the name of Wu Zhengyan's own grandfather.
