Gu Tinglan's hand holding the steering wheel tightened slightly.
"Second Young Master?"
Lu Huaiyu still stared there, his expression unchanged.
Gu Tinglan frowned, and raised his voice:
"Lu Huai and?"
This sound seemed to finally bring Lu Huaiyu back to his senses.
He looked away, leaned on the back of the chair, raised his head slightly, closed his eyes, and covered all the waves in his eyes.
"It's okay, let's go."
There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice, as if he was suppressing something.
Gu Tinglan continued to drive forward, bypassing the scene of the accident.
After leaving for a long distance, he glanced in the rearview mirror.
Under the night, only vague outlines and lights can be seen there.
Lu Huaiyu sat in the co-pilot's seat, silent.
Gu Tinglan thought for a moment, then asked:
"Is it really okay?"
He really didn't expect to encounter such a scene here.
After a while, Lu Huaiyu replied.
"Um."
Gu Tinglan felt that it was a little dangerous for him to do so.
"Why don't you go back with me first?"
He opened his mouth tentatively.
Lu Huai and then opened his eyes.
His pupils were very dark, and he couldn't see his emotions clearly, and there seemed to be a thin layer of frost and snow between his brows.
"No need."
Gu Tinglan heard his insistence, frowned slightly, but didn't ask any more questions.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when we arrived at Yunding Fenghua.
Gu Tinglan parked the car in front of the villa, and looked over there with a slightly condensed expression.
The villa is lit.
someone here.
A suspicion appeared in his mind.
At this time, the only one who can stay in Yunding Fenghua can only be that one person.
Lu Huaihe had already opened the door and got out of the car.
"Thanks."
Gu Tinglan called him to stop:
"Lu Huai and."
Lu Huaihe paused and looked back.
Gu Tinglan looked at him from the car window.
The lights of the villa outline the tall and straight figures of Lu Huai and Qing Jun.
He was against the light, his face was hidden in the light and shadow, half-bright and half-dark, unable to see clearly.
Gu Tinglan said:
"Say hello to Ning Li for me."
Lu Huai and he stared at each other for a moment, and a very faint curve appeared on the lips.
"Um."
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the villa.
Gu Tinglan sat in the car for a while, until Lu Huaiyu entered the villa, he restarted the car and left.
Ning Li is sitting in the living room reading a book.
Hearing the movement from the door, she realized that it should be Lu Huaiyu who came back.
She put the book down, got up and walked over.
Lu Huaiyu was changing shoes at the entrance.
"Second brother, you are back."
Ning Li called him.
Lu Huaiyu raised his head, his eyes darkened slightly.
Ning Li was taken aback for a moment.
Lu Huai and seems to be a little different.
But this feeling was only for a moment, and Lu Huaiyu quickly walked over.
"Wait long?"
His tone was as loose as ever, and he raised his hand and tapped her forehead lightly, with a slightly hot temperature on his fingertips.
The subtle feeling in Ning Li's heart quickly dissipated.
She shook her head.
"No, I was just reading a book."
Lu Huaiyu walked in, glanced casually in the direction of the living room, and saw the book on the coffee table.
The corners of his lips were slightly curved, and he explained:
"The plane was delayed, so I came back later."
Ning Li nodded, and remembered that there seemed to be a car coming outside just now.
"Is Brother Xiyue with you?"
"Gu Tinglan."
Lu Huaiyu walked over, took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator,
"He asked me to say hello."
As he spoke, he unscrewed the bottle cap.
The cold liquid flowed down the throat, eroded by the chill, and finally suppressed the faint restlessness.
"Doctor Gu? He also returned to Yunzhou?"
Ning Li hadn't seen him for quite some time, but when she was asking, her eyes froze suddenly.
Lu Huaihe was leaning against the refrigerator, his long legs slightly bent, the bottle of ice water soon emptied, and the drops of water dripped down his protruding Adam's apple, the traces of water stains glowed faintly , the water droplets finally sank into his open shirt collar, and a small piece was wet and smudged, sticking to his straight collarbone.
She suddenly remembered that she had seen a similar scene in the previous video.
At that time, she had blushed through the screen, but now she was standing not far from her, and seeing it with her own eyes, the impact was too great.
Lu Huai said "um", thought for a while, and said:
"No, it's going to Lincheng."
Ning Li blinked.
Gu Tinglan had been investigating something in Lincheng before, but after he returned to the capital, there was no movement for a while, and she thought that his affairs were over.
Did not expect to go again at this time.
"It seems that coming to the city is quite important to Dr. Gu."
Otherwise, it would not take so much time and energy.
Lu Huaiyu put down the water bottle casually and walked over.
Ning Li was standing on the side of the Nakajima platform at this time, he stepped forward a few steps and stood opposite her.
"Ning Li."
He looked at her condescendingly, and immediately seemed to feel that the distance was a little far away, so he bent his elbows on the table and leaned forward.
The distance between the two was shortened instantly, and the breathing could be heard.
He tilted his head slightly, his voice was low and gentle, and he struck her eardrum with each word:
"Why do you always ask others?"
Ning Li was stunned.
She met Lu Huaiyu's gaze. He looked the same as usual at this time, but his eyes were extremely dark, as if something was surging on the seemingly calm lake.
It is also like a storm that has been dormant and hidden for a long time, faintly releasing a breeze.
His appearance is unsurpassed, his whole body reveals the dignity and looseness in his bones, and he is always far away and unattainable.
However, at this time, he was very different, his eyes and eyebrows were stretched, and the corners of his lips were smiling, but he carried an indescribable extreme temptation and danger.
She had seen such a look.
She frowned slightly, leaned forward a little, and shrugged the tip of her straight nose, but she didn't smell alcohol.
"Second brother, haven't you had a drink?"
she asked with some uncertainty.
Lu Huaiyu looked at her, his eyes fell on the corners of her bright red lips, his Adam's apple rolled, and then he smiled and said:
"No."
Ning Li thought for a moment.
That's right, today is his birthday after all, so it's inappropriate for her to keep talking about Gu Tinglan.
She said:
"Second brother, wait a moment, I have a gift for you."
With that said, she turned and walked to the side.
Lu Huaiyu's gaze followed her.
Afterwards, he saw Ning Li bring over a small strawberry cake.
The cake was estimated to be only six inches, but it was exquisitely made, double-layered, with strawberries in the middle and top.
The rich sweet aroma hits the nostrils.
Lu Huai and Wei Wei raised their eyebrows:
"you made it yourself?"
"Um."
Ning Li put down the cake and lit two more candles on it. Remembering that the light was still on, she went over and turned off the light.
The surroundings instantly darkened, leaving only the floor lamp in the living room, leaving a faint yellow light.
She walked back and looked at Lu Huaiyu.
Lu Huaiyu was also looking at her.
The candlelight shone in his eyes, bright and moving.
She could even hear his shallow breathing and smell the crisp cedar on his body.
The corners of her lips curled into small dimples, and she said softly:
"Second brother, happy birthday."
