Ye Chu and Lu Huai made an appointment to meet at Hengxing Tea House.
In the past few days, Ye Chu went to the school to attend classes, and Lu Huai dealt with the affairs left behind when he was injured the other day. However, both of them are waiting patiently.
Ye Chu knows that Hengxing Tea House has been booming since its opening.
Although it is not easy to disturb other people's business, she hopes that their dialogue can be conducted in complete confidentiality.
Ye Chu thought about it, and felt that there was still something to be done to make it more secure.
Ye Chu called Hengxing Tea House.
Someone on the other end immediately answered, "Hello, this is Hengxing Tea House."
Ye Chu said: "I am a guest who made a reservation for room 3 on the second floor two days ago. I would like to ask if I can book the second floor of your tea house."
Ye Chu thought for a while, and then said: "Three days later, if there is an appointment with a guest, can you help me with it?"
The person at Hengxing Tea House froze for a moment, and hesitated slightly: "This..."
Ye Chu asked: "Is it inconvenient?"
The man hesitated for a while, then told Ye Chu the truth: "I'm sorry, the second floor has already been covered by someone."
Hearing this, Ye Chu raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
In a moment, she already knew who the person on the second floor of the tea house was.
The tone of the person at the tea house was a little apologetic: "That guest has a special identity, so I'm really sorry."
Ye Chuhu smiled: "That guest is the Third Young Master of the Lu Family?"
"You..." The person at the tea house seemed to be unbelievable, and he paused for a while. He clearly didn't say anything, but was actually guessed by the girl herself.
He promised to keep it secret, but...
From this person's reaction, Ye Chu already knew that her guess was not wrong. She knew that the man was afraid of revealing the secret, so she hurriedly said something.
Ye Chu said, "Don't worry, I won't tell others."
After hanging up, Ye Chu thought a lot.
It turned out that Lu Huai thought earlier than her, and did a good job ahead of her. After she booked the room, he actually helped her resolve her worries.
This time, they thought of going together again.
Lu Huai must know that there must be some unknown reason why Ye Chu concealed his identity twice to pass on messages to him.
But this time, after Ye Chu's identity was revealed, he offered to meet, which was actually a heart-to-heart negotiation.
Thinking about it, Lu Huai also wanted to ensure that their negotiations were foolproof.
This was Ye Chu's true surrender to Lu Huai. Although it is inevitable that she will be a little nervous, she is even more looking forward to this meeting.
…
This day will soon arrive.
Ye Chu chose a dress that was neither too plain nor too grand. She is to surrender, and naturally she has to show her sincerity.
But because the two are friends now, they are dressed formally, and they will look separate again.
After she changed her clothes, she walked out of the Ye Mansion, and the car in the Warlord's Mansion was already waiting at the door.
In winter in Shanghai, the sky is fine, but there are gusts of cold winds. Because of the sunshine, some of the chill is barely dissipated.
It is afternoon, and it is neither early nor late.
The Ye family worried about Ye Chu's safety, and they didn't know when she would return. Therefore, Lu Huai sent a car from the Governor's Mansion to pick her up.
Of course, Ye Chu didn't tell them her intention to go out this time. He just talked to her mother. If she was worried, she would call the Warlord's Mansion.
Lu Huai will send her back safely.
The black car drove slowly, and Ye Chu sat in the car, passing the still bustling Shanghai Beach from the window of the car.
Ye Chu had already made preparations before, and what she wanted to say to Lu Huai had already been written in her heart.
Her mood was very calm and she didn't feel nervous at all.
It seems that today's meeting is just the most common thing.
After Ye Chu thought about the questions that Lu Huai might ask, the car in the Warlord's Mansion gradually stopped and the Hengxing Tea House arrived.
According to Lu Huai's instructions, the driver would leave after sending Ye Chu to him. Lu Huai's car was parked nearby, and he would take her home by himself.
Ye Chu opened the door and got out of the car.
Because they only booked the second floor, there were still people coming and going at the entrance of Hengxing Tea House.
Others only knew that the reservations on the second floor were already full, and if there were no seats, they would leave early.
Ye Chu walked in, she didn't stay too much, and went straight upstairs. Because Lu Huai must have been waiting for her there.
He has always been a very punctual person, not to mention that this meeting is very important.
The corridor on the second floor was empty, no one came, and it was extremely silent.
Ye Chu walked to the room, knocked on the door a few times, and then said: "It's me."
The people inside did not speak, and Ye Chu thought for a few seconds before pushing the door open.
Lu Huai sat at the table and looked up at her with a calm tone: "Ye Chu, you are here."
Ye Chu closed the door and glanced at Lu Huai when he turned around.
Lu Huai seemed to attach great importance to this meeting with her. Today, he came in a military uniform. This military uniform is properly tailored, and it looks even more austere when worn on his body.
Rebirth I, she saw him in a military uniform for the first time.
Ye Chu was a little dazed, and memories flooded her. She blinked her eyes, settled, and saw clearly that the person in front of her was Lu Huai in this life.
The weather outside is cold, and now the room has no windows open, so the temperature is much warmer.
Lu Huai sat there, as if because the two were familiar with each other, his whole body temperament did not become colder with the arrival of winter.
Ye Chu looked at Lu Huai silently, she thought a lot, so she stopped at the door for a while.
Her strange behavior was naturally discovered by Lu Huai.
Seeing that Ye Chu was not going to come over, Lu Huai suddenly said, "What are you standing there for?"
Ye Chu came back to his senses and muttered in a low voice: "It's the first time I saw the three young masters wearing military uniforms."
Lu Huai smiled faintly: "Call me Lu Huai."
Ye Chu was taken aback.
She always felt that she had to treat him with respect, so she always called him the Third Young Master.
Lu Huai quickly explained: "You said that we are friends. Right?"
Ye Chu naturally remembered: "Yes."
Lu Huai looked at her: "Then there is no need to see outside."
Ye Chu sat down opposite Lu Huai, hesitated for a few seconds, and called out for the first time: "Lu Huai."
Her clear voice rang in the room, and because of tension, she was a little uneasy in it.
A very shallow smile appeared at the corner of Lu Huai's mouth, and he replied: "Yeah."
Ye Chu looked away, his ears were a little hot, and he stopped looking at him.
Lu Huai pushed a cup of tea in front of Ye Chu, white smoke curled up, the temperature of the tea was moderate, and the color was good.
Lu Huai said, "I don't know what kind of tea you like, order it at will."
Ye Chu took a sip of the tea, the warm tea poured in from his throat, and his body gradually warmed up.
She thought for a while: "Actually, I don't like tea, I prefer coffee."
Lu Huai's eyes darkened, and he asked with a smile, "Do you like black coffee?"
Ye Chu didn't notice it, and followed his words directly, "Hi..."
After Ye Chuhu's meal, he felt that the person in front of him was deliberately setting off. Last time, when they met in a cafe, her cup of very sweet coffee didn't move much.
At this moment, she remembered that the person who liked drinking black coffee was clearly Lu Huai, and she was almost exposing herself.
"I don't drink black coffee much." Ye Chu shook his head, and turned the topic to Lu Huai, "How about you?"
Lu Huai glanced at her and replied, "Drinking black coffee is my habit."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Huai said: "If you try it, you will find that black coffee is also good."
"If you stay awake all the time, you won't lose your sense."
"..."
Ye Chu was taken aback, these two sentences were too familiar.
In his previous life, Ye Chu lived in the Governor's Mansion. When Lu Huai first told her about this habit, he also said the same thing.
Although he knew that only he had the memory of his previous life, Ye Chu still couldn't help being stunned.
It was weird, how could she think of her past life time and time again.
Ye Chu didn't forget the purpose of coming today, she lowered her eyes and constricted the emotion in her eyes. She took a sip of tea, and now she must keep a clear head.
Ye Chu nodded: "If I have the opportunity, I will try it."
The two people seemed to be in the Taoist school. After a little chat, the atmosphere became relaxed.
Lu Huai felt that it was almost time, and he put the cup in his hand down and looked at Ye Chu.
He slowly opened his mouth: "If we want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, I will tell you something, such as my habits."
Ye Chuhu smiled, Lu Huai's meaning was already obvious. Lu Huai knew that anything he did was just to achieve cooperation with him.
Now that he said it straight to the point, she couldn't hide it anymore.
Ye Chu raised his eyes to look at Lu Huai, and the two of them met each other's eyes, not avoiding the other's gaze.
Ye Chu's tone was extremely serious: "Lu Huai, I will remember your habits well."
Lu Huai said: "Ye Chu, I don't often cooperate with people for a long time. You should be the first."
Lu Huai's temperament is suspicious, and others often have other thoughts. Short-term cooperation is also difficult to build trust, so he did not have long-term cooperation with others.
But the strange thing is that, no matter what Ye Chu said, Lu Huai was very convinced. From the first meeting, he had an inexplicable trust in her.
Lu Huai looked at Ye Chu's eyes, as clear as usual, as if her sincerity was spread out in front of him very clearly.
What he kept in his heart for a long time finally came out today.
Lu Huai did not hesitate: "I hope you can tell me about yourself in the future."
He quickly added: "Well, to be precise."
"I want to know more about you."
"..."
Ye Chu smiled and answered sincerely: "Lu Huai, in front of you, I will be a person without secrets."
Lu Huai also smiled: "Huh? Really?"
How did he remember that this little liar had lied several times before. Now, she didn't admit it at once, and his smile became thicker, and he didn't reveal her.
Ye Chu continued: "If you want to know my secret, just ask it directly, I will definitely not hide it."
This is her guarantee. In the future, when they get along, the two of them must treat each other frankly and not conceal each other in order to work together.
Anyway, Ye Chu was sure that Lu Huai would not know about her rebirth. Therefore, he would never ask such questions.
In this way, if he does not ask, she naturally does not answer, and it is not a lie.
Lu Huai nodded: "Okay."
Now that their cooperation has been reached, the two of them are looking upright, and now they have to start talking about business.
Ye Chu put away the sly smile in his eyes, preemptively, and asked: "How did you discover my identity?"
Lu Huai picked up the teapot and poured tea for Ye Chu: "It's not too difficult."
Lu Huai answered her questions: "Do you remember the time you went to Yongan Department Store?"
Ye Chu nodded: "Remember."
Lu Huai said, "You bought things in Yongan Department Store for two hours by yourself. Later, when you met Ye Laixiang, you only stayed in the clothing store for one hour."
"This is just one of the doubts."
Ye Chu's expression froze.
Lu Huai slowly said, "I met you in the Xincheng Hotel. You pretended to unlock the door of my room to cover up."
Ye Chu did not deny it. She did meet him when she was stuffing a note into Lu Huai's room.
Lu Huai's tone was serious: "Be cautious in doing things, it's not good to show too much trouble."
Ye Chu analyzed that after Lu Huai had doubts about her time, did he think of what happened at the New Town Hotel.
Ye Chu was very cheeky: "It seems that I was quite successful in hiding. You only doubted me the third time."
Lu Huai raised his eyebrows: "The game of cat and mouse ends too fast, but it's not fun."
Although the two of them had been close to each other a lot, they were always unconvinced when they talked.
Ye Chu: "You haven't thought about it, maybe I left a handle on purpose and led you to arrest me?"
Seeing Ye Chu's serious expression, of course Lu Huai was not willing to lose her face. No matter when, it's always good for her to win.
Lu Huai said lightly, "Well, you did a good job."
Although his words sounded ordinary, Ye Chu's face became hot.
She didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, so she hurriedly moved her eyes away and lowered her head to drink tea.
Lu Huai's voice continued: "If you want to act without leaking, as long as you speak, I will teach you."
Ye Chu was taken aback, and thought to himself, in fact, you have already taught me. These methods are all learned from you.
She just smiled: "Okay, I remember this sentence."
Lu Huai said: "You can come to me at any time, I won't break my promise."
"Ye Chu, you have finished asking your question." Lu Huai cornered his mouth, "Now it's my turn to ask you."
Ye Chu settled down. She had anticipated this scene, and was not flustered, but patiently waited for his question.
Lu Huai quickly spoke: "Where did the child who came to the Warlord's Mansion look for?"
Ye Chu smiled: "He was found on the street, he is very smart, he can learn it as soon as he teaches."
Lu Huai: "Can teach him in a short time... Well, you did a good job."
Ye Chu continued to smile without answering.
Lu Huai asked again: "Where did you learn the Morse Code?"
Ye Chu didn't rush: "My cousin Ye Yixiu returned from studying at Oxford University and learned a lot. I looked at it for fun, so I asked him to teach me."
Whether Ye Yixiu knows the Morse code is not important at all.
Because Lu Huai would not investigate this matter, she understood that he just wanted to hear his own answer.
Lu Huai: "While staying at the Xincheng Hotel, you made a phone call."
Ye Chu's tone was calm: "I heard that you are staying at the Xincheng Hotel, so I went to find your room number. As long as you know the room number and want to know the phone number of that room, this is very easy."
Ye Chu said again: "I don't want you to recognize my voice, but I just covered the microphone with a layer of paper."
Lu Huai added: "You also deliberately lowered your throat."
"This matter is extremely simple, I think you should do too." Ye Chu looked at Lu Huai's eyes without any guilty expression on his face.
Lu Huai asked, "How did you know that room in the Peace Hotel?"
"The situation was urgent at the time, and I observed it." Ye Chu said, "I confirmed that only the fifth floor stairs were guarded by guards."
Ye Chu didn't rush and said, "There are many rooms on the fifth floor, but the carpet in front of that room is badly worn, indicating that people often come and go."
"Since that room is very important, it must be where you stay."
"Am i right?"
Ye Chu's reasons were set after set, and he knew that he had made preparations early.
But there was no flaw in her words, and Lu Huai couldn't find any flaws.
Lu Huai smiled suddenly: "Well, what you said has always been correct."
Ye Chu remembered the scene: "I was wearing a suit and disguised as a man. When I was hiding in the corner, I was almost spotted by you."
The corner of Ye Chu's mouth raised: "However, after you know that the guard on the fifth floor was knocked out, he left."
Lu Huai's hand stopped there, holding a warm tea cup.
He raised his eyebrows: "Really? It seems that I missed the way you look in a suit."
Ye Chu: "..."
Lu Huai put aside the cup and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, you will have the opportunity to dress up again in the future."
Lu Huai asked Ye Chu: "You never thought that you learned so many things by yourself, and you can use them all on me."
Ye Chu didn't answer, but instead asked Lu Huai: "You didn't expect that I would fool your eyes."
Lu Huai did not speak.
Ye Chu smiled: "If you look with your eyes, you may not be able to see the truth."
Lu Huai thought without hesitation: "Then, in the future, I will be more attentive."
Ye Chu was stunned for a few seconds.
Seeing Ye Chu's speechless, Lu Huai smiled at the corner of his mouth. In a blink of an eye, he picked up the teapot again and poured tea for her.
Lu Huai said lightly: "Drink some tea and talk about it."
Following his words, Ye Chu picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea is still hot, soothing the discomfort of the throat.
Ye Chu asked, "Lu Huai, aren't you curious about how I learned the news?"
Ye Chu reminded him that so many things hadn't happened yet.
She is just a female student with a clean background, but she knows many secrets. Why doesn't Lu Huai ask the most critical question
She had her own countermeasures in her heart, and she just waited for Lu Huai to speak.
Unexpectedly, Lu Huai was not in a hurry: "You can tell me about this problem later."
He looked at Ye Chu seriously: "What I want to know now is that you have done so much just to cooperate with me. Is there any reason?"
reason
Ye Chu was startled slightly, she thought for a while.
In the last life, the Ye family was down. She was displaced and found Lu Huai. Although the two joined hands, they were harmed by Mo Qinghan and nearly died many times.
And now she doesn't know who caused the accident on Scott Road.
She didn't find out, except for Mo Qinghan, who else would harm Lu Huai.
When he saw Lu Huai for the first time in his life, Ye Chu was unprepared.
She knew Lu Huai's temperament and was very suspicious. Before he could confirm Lu Huai's attitude, he could only avoid him.
Now they can finally sit down and talk about a long-term cooperation.
Ye Chu surrendered to Lu Huai because he wanted to protect the Ye family and change the course of the fate of his previous life.
and also…
Ye Chu raised his head and looked into Lu Huai's eyes. His eyes remained constant for a moment, as if patiently waiting for her answer.
Lu Huai's eyes seemed to be able to see into her heart and guess her mind.
But Ye Chu understood that Lu Huai would not guess what she was thinking, she said a word in her heart.
She hoped that Lu Huai would be successful and safe forever.
Ye Chu spoke slowly and called his name: "Lu Huai."
"I accidentally learned a lot of dangers that will happen in the future, and I also know that only you can prevent those dangerous things from happening."
"I am willing to tell you all those things, but I also want you to do one thing for me."
Lu Huai looked at her silently.
Ye Chu categorically said: "If the Ye family is in trouble in the future, I hope I can get your help."
Lu Huai's voice is also extremely serious: "I promise you."
The temperature in the room was high, although it did not affect their consciousness in the slightest. The two people are still very awake when they talk about this.
Outside the window, night has gradually fallen, but the lights are on in the tea house. They stayed in the room, as bright as the day, unconsciously.
Lu Huai and Ye Chu stared at each other in silence, and neither spoke.
Hearing Lu Huai's affirmative voice, Ye Chu's mind was a little confused.
Ye Chu knows that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and they will still encounter many difficulties.
She only hopes that he can live this life safely, and that the bad things that happened in the past will not repeat the same mistakes.
However, whether it is light or darkness, she will face it with him.
Ye Chu slowly opened his mouth: "I hope you can see my sincerity."
Ye Chu closed her eyes, her voice was extremely clear, as if she had made a promise.
Those words, in her previous life, there were thousands of opportunities, but she never told him.
"Ye Chu promises here."
"In this life, if Lu Huai encounters any danger, I am willing to save him at all costs."
There is still one sentence left unsaid.
Even my life.
The author has something to say: Formally join forces and prepare to kill the Quartet.
