The gaze lasted for tens of seconds.
Lu Xingyan stepped back suddenly, and walked towards another guest room as if nothing had happened.
After walking a few steps, he stopped, the reflex arc circled back to the right track, and turned back to the room just now, holding the door frame and asking, "Who are you, come to my balcony to play jumping off the building."
The boy's tone was not very friendly. He was tall and thin. He was wearing a dark sweater. The movement of leaning his head against the door revealed half of his face. It could be seen that his skin was very fair and his brows were full of impatience.
Shen Xingruo quickly equated this unkind person with the word "Lu Xingyan".
She didn't answer, she was silent for a while, came down from the bay window, and nodded to him.
When she heard the sound from outside, Pei Yue was fiddling with lamps in front of Lu Xingyan's desk, trying to find the most perfect light for taking selfies.
As soon as she heard the movement, she put away her phone and hurried out.
"What's the matter with you, you are making a lot of noise at the door of other girls at night, and you know that I am waiting in the room? I haven't seen you think so fast in school, and you are quite good at dealing with me." She Stepped forward, pinched Lu Xingyan's ear and began to scold.
"Mom, let go!" Lu Xingyan frowned.
Seeing Shen Xingruo coming out from inside, Pei Yue pressed Lu Xingyan's head, put on a smile again, and said to Shen Xingruo with concern: "Ruoruo, why haven't you slept yet? Are you not used to it when you just arrived here? Or is it this kid? Are you bothering?"
Shen Xingruo: "No, Aunt Pei, I just got up to drink water."
Seeing Lu Xingyan with "I'm in a fucking bad mood" written all over her face, she nodded politely without changing her expression.
Only then did Pei Yue remember to introduce them to each other:
"By the way, this is my son Lu Xingyan. I don't know who he looks like. He has a bad temper and can't talk. If you don't mind, Ruoruo."
"This is Xingruo, your uncle Shen's daughter. You have to go back to the place of household registration for the college entrance examination, so you moved back to Xingcheng this year, and will live in our house from now on. By the way, Xingruo is also going to Mingli. You should take care of her at school."
Lu Xingyan: "The college entrance examination is still a year and a half away, what are you doing here so early?"
He was so unwelcoming that he almost used a broom to sweep the floor back and forth at Shen Xingruo's door.
Pei Yue pressed his head hard again, and gave him a "shut up" look.
In fact, from Pei Yue's point of view, these two people can be regarded as serious childhood sweethearts. They were born on the same day, one morning and one midnight. Jokingly said that in the future, he would be a son and daughter in-laws.
It's just that Shen Guangyao took his family to Huize to develop. The adults still kept in touch, but the children never saw each other again.
When this introduction talked about the past, she couldn't stop the car, and she overestimated the child's memory. When she said enthusiastically, "You two are swimming and blowing bubbles in a small swimming pool naked". There were varying degrees of cracking in the expressions.
And she kept talking about "you two were still wearing the same style of open crotch pants to grab Otto eggs on your first birthday", only to realize that the atmosphere seemed a little bit embarrassing.
No, it's two.
"Cough, then what, it seems it's getting late, Ruoruo, go to bed early." Pei Yue stroked the curly hair that was just permed this morning, and then lightly twisted Lu Xingyan.
Lu Xingyan didn't seem to feel anything, his face was expressionless and cold.
In his mother's call of "bare body" and "same style of crotch pants", he finally remembered——
This woman is the white peacock who poured a bottle of mineral water from a middle-aged fat man on the high-speed rail today.
However, this white peacock's memory seems to be inferior to his.
The shower rushed down from the top of the head, and gathered at the tip of the hair to form a small trickle along the jaw and neck, and flowed across the chest and abdomen.
Lu Xingyan faced the shower with his back, many pictures flashed in his mind, and many pictures were inadvertently connected together in his mind.
No wonder Xu Chengzhou said he saw his family's car when leaving the high-speed rail station.
When he got out of the bathroom, he wiped his hair while flipping through the photo album with his mobile phone.
There is a photo in the album of Chen Zhu lying on a boy's shoulder, smiling brightly.
When I saw the photo this morning and asked Chen Zhu, Chen Zhu was quite frank, "This is my neighbor's little brother, don't I often tell you, is he handsome or not?"
She didn't stop talking, "You haven't seen the real person, he is so cool and cute! Standing like a small pine tree, he is very tall and straight! Although he is in the National Defense University now, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You can send some photos from time to time to let him remember me as a real childhood sweetheart!"
Lu Xingyan didn't know how he felt. In short, the words "childhood sweetheart" sounded a little uncomfortable.
Scroll down, coincidentally, it's his childhood sweetheart again.
He snorted lightly and threw the phone on the bed.
Lu Xingyan didn't sleep well that night. At dawn, the sky outside the window turned pale, and he fell asleep with a pillow covering his face.
When I woke up again, it was already twelve noon.
After washing up, he went downstairs.
As soon as I passed the corner of the stairs on the second floor, I heard Lu Shan's voice from below, "Green in color, fragrant, sweet in taste, shaped like a sparrow's tongue, good tea!"
"Father said that Uncle Lu, you like to drink Longjing the most, and asked me to bring it here."
Lu Xingyan pulled the corner of his lips.
Shen Xingruo was standing directly facing the stairwell. When he looked up, he saw Lu Xingyan wearing a loose black T-shirt and gray sweatpants, with his hands in his pockets, walking down lazily.
She looked away without any trace, and added another tea to Lu Shan.
"Ruoruo, do you like chicken?" Pei Yue's voice came from the kitchen.
Shen Xingruo: "Aunt Pei, I can do it."
She put down the teapot, greeted Lu Shan, and went to the kitchen to help Pei Yue.
Lu Xingyan walked to the refrigerator, poured himself a glass of milk, took a piece of toast in his mouth, and walked around the living room like a tour—
No one paid him any attention.
I only heard "Ruoruo" on the left and "Xingruo" on the right, and even Lu Shan got up to appreciate Pei Yue's cooking while drinking tea.
His eyes drifted to the kitchen, and the corners of his lips twitched again.
In fact, Pei Yue seldom cooks by herself, if the aunt at home hadn't come back for the New Year, it would be hard to see her go back to the kitchen.
Vegetarian stir-fried three delicacies, stewed beef brisket with potatoes, stewed old duck soup...
Lu Xingyan held up his chopsticks and paused in the bowl, very good, none of which he liked.
Finally, Pei Yue finally served a little fried chicken, and there was no pepper.
no soul.
"I heard that the taste in Huize is relatively bland. The last time I saw your father in Nancheng, he used to be a person who could eat spicy food. He drank three glasses of water after eating fish head with chopped peppers."
As Pei Yue said, she put the fried chicken in front of Shen Xingruo, "Ruoruo, try this."
Lu Shan pointed, "This is your Auntie Pei's specialty, Xingruo, Uncle got your honor today."
Shen Xingruo bent her lips, "Thank you, Aunt Pei."
Seeing her gentle and well-behaved, Pei Yue became more courteous, "You should also drink more of this old duck soup to nourish your body. Look at you, you are weak and weak, and you are under a lot of pressure in the second year of high school. You have to take care of your body first. Don’t just focus on studying…”
Before Pei Yue finished speaking, Shen Xingruo coughed twice.
"What's the matter, Ruoruo, do you have a cold?" Pei Yue was nervous.
Lu Shan: "The heat and cold have changed recently, so we should wear more clothes."
"Aunt Pei, Uncle Lu, I'm fine...cough cough...just my throat is a little itchy, just drink some hot water, cough cough, cough cough..." Shen Xingruo said, turning his head to cover his lips and coughing.
"..."
Said she was weak and she coughed.
Holding up the chopsticks, Lu Xingyan didn't come back to his senses for a long time. At one moment, his mind was filled with the arrogance of the white peacock splashing water yesterday, and at another moment, it was Shen Daiyu's weakness coughing in front of him.
"Lu Xingyan, go get a cup of hot water."
"No, warm."
"What are you doing in a daze, go quickly."
Lu Xingyan, who was ignored like a cloud of human-shaped air, finally had a name.
When he poured the water, Miss Shen Daiyu had calmed down his parents who were overly worried about food and clothing.
"boom-"
The glass fell heavily on the table, making a crisp sound.
The water splashed three or four more, and one of them just landed on the back of Shen Daiyu's hand.
Shen Daiyu said "Thank you" softly, held the water glass, and sipped it in small sips.
Lu Xingyan stood by the table with his hands in his pockets and looked at it for a while, then licked the back of his teeth, turned his head away and sneered softly.
very good.
Ganqing's family has a legacy from the film industry.
During the whole meal, Lu Shan and Pei Yue were booing and inquiring about Shen Xingruo's health, and the unworthy human figure finished the meal in two or three strokes. He wanted to go upstairs, but when he heard Lu Shan and Shen Xingruo talking about transferring schools, he slowed down down.
"All the formalities have been completed. Originally, the head of the grade said that he would take a quiz first. As soon as your file was transferred, he put you in the first class without saying a word."
Lu Xingyan looked up.
Lu Shan turned his gaze slightly, "What are you looking at? I'm in the same class as you, and you also learn a lot from Xing Ruo. What about you? You didn’t stay in Guangmingding during the exam, your mother and I are thankful.”
During the Mingli exam, the seats in the exam room are arranged according to the previous results. The exam room gets worse the further you go upstairs, and the top floor is affectionately called Guangmingding.
Unfortunately, Lu Xingyan is a veteran of Guangmingding.
Lu Shan picked up two chopsticks and continued to say: "School starts the day after tomorrow. I'll see if I'm free. If I'm free, I'll take you two to school. If I'm not, I'll let Lao Liu take you there. Xing Ruo just came , live in the dormitory one day in advance, and get to know your roommates better."
Lu Xingyan didn't answer the call, and only wrote "You don't have time" all over his face.
Lu Shan: "What expression do you have?"
"I hope you can make more money by doing everything you can every day."
Lu Shan: "..."
"I'm stuffed."
Lu Xingyan was too lazy to talk, put down his chopsticks and got up, put his hands in his pockets, and went upstairs in a daze.
As Lu Xingyan wished, on the day of the report, Lu Shan was not free.
The driver, Lao Liu, parked the car at Qianping and got out to help with the luggage.
Lu Xingyan didn't even raise his eyes, he went straight into the car to play with his mobile phone, and chewed his gum casually.
Outside the car, Pei Yue was still pulling Shen Xingruo to talk, talking back and forth was nothing more than paying attention to her body, covering her with more quilts, and remembering to call her if something happened.
After the game was over and no one came up, Lu Xingyan lowered the car window, frowned and looked out, his eyes were full of "there's still a fucking end".
Shen Xingruo just met his eyes, and Pei Yue also looked over, "By the way, do you know how much you take care of at school? Ruo Ruo knows that she is a girl who transfers here alone, and she doesn't know her place well. Don't you People bullied her."
"..."
"Ah."
Who can bully this little fairy who gives people a heart-warming feeling when she disagrees with each other.
Lu Xingyan raised the window.
Before covering his eyes, Shen Xingruo could still see the sneer on his face.
Shen Xingruo didn't know where she had offended this naive young master. To her, being hated by boys was quite a rare thing.
For the time being, she didn't know how to get along with him, so Shen Xingruo didn't take the initiative to speak.
Winter is not far away, there are no flowers outside the window, and the passers-by on the road are still wrapped in thick coats. She opened the car window a small gap, and as soon as the wind blew in, there was a sudden cry from the side, "Want to freeze?" kill me?"
"..."
"Excuse me."
She raised the window again.
There was nothing to say all the way, Shen Xingruo kept looking at the navigation to know the way, and at the intersection of turning right into a one-way street, she greeted Lao Liu in advance, "Uncle Liu, I want to get off first, there is a stationery store in front, I want to go shopping."
"Okay, then I'll stop and wait for you for a while."
"Don't wait, Uncle Liu, I know the way, and I can walk there by myself."
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingyan suddenly interjected, "I'll be here too, Uncle Liu, don't turn in, there's a traffic jam at the gate of Mingli today."
Shen Xingruo glanced at him.
The two got out of the car and parked under the roadside tree, the leaves above their heads were rustling by the wind.
Shen Xingruo thought about it, and said politely, "Then I'll go shopping first."
She dragged the suitcase and walked away a few steps, when Lu Xingyan suddenly stopped her, "Hello, Shen Xingruo."
Shen Xingruo turned around.
Lu Xingyan leaned halfway on the tree trunk, his eyes were direct and cold, "It's already school, can you stop pretending like this?"
