Lu Huai laughed softly, and interlocked her fingers.
"It's a bit of a conscience. I was thinking about how I stole you from the Gu family's mansion."
The warmth of ironing posts came from the palm of her hand, Shen Li raised her eyes, and there was already a smile in her peach eyes.
Lu Huaiyu led her into the building.
The two went to the Japanese grocery store on the top floor and entered the private room.
Shen Li looked at the menu and ordered a few things:
"Baked rose prawns with sea urchin sauce, wagyu sashimi, silver cod fish, caramelized mango foie gras. Second brother, would you like something to drink?"
The waiter earnestly recommends:
"Miss, our plum sake tastes very authentic, do you want to try it?"
Lu Huai and his lips curved slightly, looking at Shen Li.
Shen Li coughed lightly:
"No need, just juice."
The waiter looked at Lu Huaiyu again.
Lu Huai nodded:
"Add a bottle."
The waiter quickly backed out.
While wiping her hands with a hot towel, Shen Li said:
"Second brother, I just saw that the alcohol content of their sake is not very low."
Lu Huai and eyebrow raising:
"Ari, are you worried that I'm drunk?"
Shen Li nodded with a very natural expression.
Lu Huaiyu couldn't help laughing:
"A Li, I'm not that bad at drinking."
Shen Li glanced at him with an expression of disbelief.
"But the second brother is really easy to get drunk."
Lu Huaiyu leaned back, with a lazy posture, and smiled:
"when?"
People who are familiar with him know how much he drinks, but they don't know what the little girl thinks. It seems that from the beginning, she thinks that he can't drink, and she persuaded him to drink less alcohol more than once.
Before, he thought it was because the little girl cared, but now that he thought about it—she was clearly afraid that he would get drunk.
Shen Li thought for a while and said:
"Just at the beginning, the first time you went to school to help me hold a parent-teacher meeting."
Lu Huaiyu thought for a while, then raised his eyebrows slightly.
He attended a dinner at noon that day, drank some wine, and then went to hold a parent-teacher meeting for the little girl.
After that, the little girl followed him back to Yunding Fenghua, but she didn't enter the door and left quickly.
During the whole process, he didn't seem to be drunk
Seeing that he didn't seem to remember much, Shen Li reminded:
"Second brother, you are not only drunk, but also broken. I went back to the master bedroom to see you after I left, but you don't even remember."
Lu Huai and slowly sat up straight:
"What?"
Shen Li nodded:
"Yes, I waited for you to fall asleep before leaving."
After she left, she recalled that Lu Huaiyu's state seemed not right, so she turned back and took a look.
It was also that day, when he was in the master bedroom, he almost kissed her.
Because of this, she didn't sleep well all night.
In the end, seeing Lu Huaiyu again, everything went on as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Afterwards, she talked with Cheng Xiyue on the phone, only to find out that Lu Huai had a drink with him, and naturally he would not remember those things when he was drunk.
She buried it in her heart.
Now that things have passed for so long, and the two are already together, there is nothing that cannot be mentioned about this trivial matter.
Lu Huai and his eyes darkened slightly.
He doesn't remember her ever going back.
When he woke up, Cheng Xiyue was waiting for him to sign the contract in the living room downstairs, and asked Shen Li by the way.
At that time, he also said that she didn't enter the villa, but left directly.
But it turned out that she had gone back and left after watching him fall asleep.
At the dinner at noon that day, he only drank a few glasses. With his drinking capacity, he would not even get drunk, let alone fragments.
—He really has no memory of that short period of time.
He held the glass water glass and took a sip of water. The cold liquid flowed down, making him much more awake.
"Second brother?"
Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Shen Li called him.
Lu Huaiyu put down the water glass and smiled:
"I drank a little too much that day, but a bottle of sake is still okay."
Shen Li remembered that he had indeed seen him drink champagne a few times before, and there was nothing wrong with it, so she nodded.
It is estimated that Cheng Xiyue exaggerated on purpose, so he said that he poured a cup.
The waiters began to serve the dishes one after another.
Lu Huai and Lianshen helped her open the pine leaf crab.
Shen Li picked out a piece of wagyu sashimi and asked:
"When will the second brother return to the capital?"
Lu Huaiyu handed over the snow-white crab meat: "Tomorrow afternoon."
"So fast?" Shen Li was a little surprised.
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyes and said with a smile:
"Reluctant to let me go?"
Shen Li's face became slightly hot.
In fact, Lu Huaiyu had been in Hong Kong City for several days, and it was the end of the year, there should be many things waiting for him to go back to Beijing.
After all, it was time to go back.
She is celebrating the New Year this year, and she is probably in Hong Kong City.
The two spend less time seeing each other.
"What is Ah Li doing at home today?" Lu Huaiyu asked.
Shen Li said:
"draw."
I didn't sleep well last night, and I feel much better after painting.
"How long have you been painting?"
"No." She didn't say that she spent almost all day in the studio.
Lu Huaiyu suddenly stood up and walked towards her.
The box is for four people, and the seats on both sides are couch.
Originally, the two were sitting facing each other, but when he came over like this, he sat beside her.
"Second brother?"
Shen Li was a little strange.
Lu Huaiyu grabbed her waist and hugged her on his lap.
He held her hand, gently rubbing his slightly callused fingertips on the inside of her delicate wrist, and said with a smile:
"It's hard work for us, Ari. After a day of painting, are your hands sore?"
Shen Li shook her head:
"Not sour."
It's not like I haven't painted for such a long time before, it's really nothing to her
Lu Huai hugged her in his arms, and kissed her soft cheek again.
"Really not sour?"
When he spoke, the warm breath fell on her neck, causing a slight shudder.
An ambiguous hot breath lingered.
The tips of her ears were dyed crimson, and she shook her head:
"real."
I didn't have time to say the rest of the words, because Lu Huai kissed her fingertips.
Fragile and tender, extremely precious.
She seemed to be hit by something in her heart. She wanted to push him away, but was softened by his kiss, so she obediently leaned against his neck.
"Um."
She answered in a low voice.
Lu Huai and his chest trembled, and he laughed softly.
Afterwards, he intertwined his fingers with her, leaned over to kiss her lips, and asked seemingly unintentionally:
"I was drunk that day, what was it like?"
