Lu Huai tensed up with his whole body.
At this moment, no one spoke.
It was clearly a scorching hot day at the end of June, but Lu Huaiyu felt a sudden chill.
He slipped his Adam's apple, and immediately touched Shen Li's forehead without changing his face:
"Shouldn't have a fever."
He bent down, stared at Shen Li with his pitch-black phoenix eyes, and said every word with a firm tone,
"Ari, you're drunk."
Shen Li looked at him blankly.
Don't have a fever
But she felt hot and uncomfortable.
But since he said so, it should mean that he really didn't have a fever.
Lu Huaiyu continued to ask:
"Shall I take you to rest?"
She nodded, and she didn't have the energy to think more, she leaned into his arms, her movements were extremely natural and smooth, as if she had done it countless times.
Still no one spoke.
Lu Huaiyu paused, and gently stroked her hair:
"Ari, shall I take you upstairs?"
As he spoke, he took her hand.
Shen Li obediently followed him to get up.
Lu Huai and looked sideways at Shen Zhijin:
"Mr. Shen, Ali's room—"
Shen Zhijin's eyes were fixed on the hands of the two for a moment, but he didn't speak.
Mr. Gu said:
"Qi Yang, take him there."
"yes."
Qi Yang stepped forward:
"Second Young Master Lu, this way please."
Lu Huai thanked him, and then led Shen Li to go upstairs.
Until their figures disappeared at the corner of the stairs, the huge living room on the first floor was still dead silent.
Gu Siyang lay down in despair.
Destroy it!
This world can no longer be better!
…
Lu Huaiyu brought Shen Li back to her room, Qi Yang waited outside the door and did not come in.
Lu Huai sat on the bed, pressed the tip of his tongue to his palate, and stared at her with dangerous eyes:
"Shen Tangtang, if you dare to drink secretly behind my back next time, you will suffer."
There was a warning in his tone, and his eyes were like a thick sea that cannot be melted.
Shen Li stared at him blankly, not quite understanding what he said.
But he seemed angry.
After reacting for a while, she raised her head and kissed him lightly on the lips, comforting him softly:
"Lu Huaiyu, don't be angry, I took good medicine today."
Lu Huaiyu suddenly froze.
He frowned, and there seemed to be a sharp edge flashing in the bottom of his eyes:
"What did you say?"
But Shen Li didn't continue talking, she raised her hand to touch the center of his brow, stubbornly trying to wipe away the coldness between his brow and eyes.
Lu Huaiyu grabbed her hand and asked again:
"Ari, you just said, what kind of medicine did you use?"
Shen Li looked at him blankly for a moment:
"... Don't you know?"
Lu Huaiyu didn't speak, but still stared at her closely, never letting go of any expression on her face.
There seemed to be a layer of mist in her eyes, and she couldn't see clearly.
His hand was so hard she felt as if he had touched her wound.
So she struggled, and the grievances that could be seen welled up in her eyes:
"... hurts."
Lu Huai and his eyebrows darkened slightly.
In fact, he just circled her wrist, definitely not too hard, but she looked like it was really hurting.
But, just seeing her look like this, he already felt very distressed, so he couldn't care less about other things.
He let go of his hand, patted her head comfortingly, and coaxed in a low voice:
"It's not good to take a shower immediately after drinking, and wait a while, okay?"
She is so drunk now, he is absolutely worried about letting her take a bath by herself, but obviously it is not easy to ask other people to help.
Shen Li hesitated: "Okay."
After Lu Huaihe comforted her, he got up.
Shen Li realized something and grabbed his hand:
"where did you go?"
Lu Huai and the people waiting downstairs let out a soft breath:
"Clean up the mess for your ancestors."
Shen Li didn't seem to understand what he said.
Lu Huaiyu pinched her face:
"I'll be back later, but—Shen Tangtang, if your boyfriend confesses here tonight, you will be fully responsible for the rest of his life, understand?"
…
After finally coaxing the little ancestor into sleeping obediently, Lu Huai and he left.
He walked out of the room, and Qi Yang was still waiting outside.
"Second Young Master Lu."
Qi Yang glanced inside the door, feeling complicated.
Lu Huai closed the door with a "click":
"Let's go."
…
Gu Siyang took out his phone again and checked the time.
Very well, Lu Huaiyu has been leading people up for nine minutes, and he hasn't come down yet.
Every minute and every second of these nine minutes was the most difficult moment in his life in the past twenty years.
Ten minutes later, footsteps were finally heard on the stairs.
Gu Siyang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked over, only to see Lu Huaiyu walking down.
Lu Huai and went downstairs, first looked at Shen Zhijin:
"Mr. Shen, Ali is already asleep."
Gu Siyang covered his face.
Well, very well.
After Shen Li drank, she called Lu Huaiyu to pick him up. During the two hours of waiting, she sat on the sofa without moving.
She doesn't drink tea, doesn't talk to anyone, and doesn't want to go to sleep, no one can persuade her.
When Lu Huai came, a few words coaxed him to go upstairs to rest.
And what Shen Li said—
In this situation, tonight, Lu Huai and I'm afraid it will be difficult to step out of the Gu family's gate safely and soundly!
Shen Zhijin didn't speak.
Lu Huaiyu paused.
Although I know that the effect is minimal, there is really no other way.
He said:
"Ari seems to be very drunk this time."
Shen Zhijin said quietly:
"Don't you still recognize you? How can you be so drunk?"
Lu Huaiyu: "..."
The scene once again fell into an almost suffocating silence.
Mr. Gu suddenly said:
"Ari is really tired today, it's always good to rest first."
He looked at Lu Huaiyu, his vicissitudes and sharp eyes were as real as they were, and he was depressed.
"However, Lu Huaiyu, don't you have anything to say?"
…
Lu Huaiyu was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly:
"Before that, I have one thing that I want to ask - is Ali going to drink tonight?"
When he said this, his eyes were already looking at the red wine on the table not far ahead.
There were five bottles in all, all opened.
There was still a faint smell of alcohol in the air.
Gu Siyang subconsciously looked at Gu Tinglan, Gu Tinglan looked as usual, as if this question had nothing to do with him.
Lu Huaiyu continued:
"If I'm not mistaken, these five bottles of wine should all come from Gu Wuye's winery?"
He rarely called Gu Tinglan that way.
Gu Tinglan's eyelids twitched.
Others might not be able to recognize it, but Lu Huai and himself also collect wine, so they know these things very well, and they can tell at a glance.
He finally said:
"What Ari drank was indeed the wine I brought."
Lu Huaiyu's eyes slowly swept over the five bottles of wine:
"Which bottle?"
Gu Tinglan didn't speak.
silence.
This is already the answer.
Lu Huaiyu smiled.
Okay, tonight it was agreed to dig a hole for him to dance together.
Mr. Gu stared at him, and asked in a deep voice:
"Counting from the last day you were together when Ah Li was seventeen, how many times has she been drunk?"
Before Lu Huaiyu could answer, Shen Zhijin behind him suddenly spoke, with a terrifyingly calm tone:
"What?"
