Lu Huaiyu picked up the teacup and gently stroked it with his fingertips.
He was really not right that day.
When he woke up, Shen Li was in his room, sleeping beside him.
And what happened before that, he didn't have the slightest impression.
It's all right, of course she won't suddenly run over and lie down with him.
He probably guessed in his heart that there should be some reason.
Of course, he guessed that it was most likely related to him.
It's just that she didn't ask, and he didn't mention it either.
It was as if everything was business as usual.
"It was jet-lagged that day."
Lu Huai and Dao,
"Like a nightmare."
Gu Tinglan asked:
"Is it still the dream from before?"
Lu Huaihe thought about it for a moment, then nodded.
"I don't remember clearly, it should be."
For more than two years, he often had the same nightmare.
Those images would replay in his mind over and over again, so clear that it seemed as vivid as yesterday.
And after waking up, those things will gradually become blurred, and in the end, only the remaining palpitations remain.
Gu Tinglan frowned slightly:
"I remember you haven't had that dream for a long time."
Lu Huaiyu's situation is improving, he knows this very well.
That's why he was so surprised by this situation. In addition, he was also uneasy.
Lu Huaihe paused, then smiled slightly:
"Indeed. This frequency is much better than before."
Gu Tinglan was suddenly at a loss for words.
He had seen Lu Huaihe's most detailed case, which clearly recorded his situation over the past two years.
He knew what Lu Huai was like when he was at his worst.
Even he, after seeing it at the time, couldn't help feeling in his heart that this person's willpower is really amazing.
If you change someone, you may not be able to handle it long ago.
And now, compared to then, it is indeed much better.
"Then, does Ali know about this?"
he asked.
Lu Huai and his eyelids drooped slightly, and the green tea in the cup swayed slightly.
"I probably don't know."
"should?"
"She's smart."
Lu Huai and these words made Gu Tinglan even more worried.
"She didn't ask you?"
Lu Huai shook his head.
Gu Tinglan felt at ease.
"That should be because I don't know..."
Lu Huaiyu smiled, noncommittal.
Gu Tinglan thought for a while:
"It's not convenient here. After you return to Beijing, you can go to my place for a comprehensive inspection."
Lu Huaiyu wanted to refuse at first, but then thought of Shen Li, so he nodded.
"OK."
Gu Tinglan was a little surprised that he promised so readily.
Lu Huaiyu has always been resistant to these things.
As if guessing what he was thinking, Lu Huaiyu raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm looking at Ali's face."
Of course Gu Tinglan understood this too.
He couldn't help teasing:
"It seems that you didn't get anything good from Shen Zhijin."
Lu Huaiyu didn't mind his words at all, but answered them smoothly:
"I dare not disobey my uncle's order."
The smile on Gu Tinglan's face froze immediately.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Did Second Young Master Lu call it too early?"
Lu Huaiyu glanced at his watch and asked another question:
"Ms. Shen is in Baicheng now, don't you want to visit?"
The relationship between Shen Zhijin and the Gu family has been frozen for many years, and there has been no communication.
After recognizing Shen Li, this relationship finally broke the ice.
Gu Tinglan wanted to call Shen Zhijin "fourth brother-in-law". Now that both of them are in Baicheng, and they are not far away, it stands to reason that they should meet up.
But when these words came out of Lu Huaihe's mouth, it was somewhat...
Gu Tinglan looked at him warily.
"Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered it. In the afternoon, Teacher Shen took A Li back to Corning Street, so today is also the day A Li returns home."
Lu Huaiyu smiled slightly,
"Such a meaningful time, are you sure you don't want to have dinner together?"
There was no problem with what he said, but Gu Tinglan had instinctively sounded a warning sound in his mind.
"you-"
"I happened to have a good talk with my little uncle this afternoon, and we went there together—the little uncle shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Gu Tinglan narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Huaiyu for a while.
"So, I invited you to come over to meet me before, and you agreed so readily, so why are you waiting here?"
Lu Huai and Thin Lips slightly raised their smiles sincerely.
"if not?"
…
After visiting the house, Shen Li finally chose a south-facing bedroom on the first floor.
Shen Zhijin should have been cleaned up in advance, all the things Shen Li needs are available, she can just live in.
These years have been traveling between Baicheng and the capital for a long time, and Shen Zhijin's body has become accustomed to such jet lag.
But Shen Li was worried that he was tired, so she urged him to go back to his room to rest.
But she herself stayed in the bedroom and turned on the computer.
An email was quietly lying in the mailbox, it was a draft notice from "Universe".
This time their efficiency was much higher than last time. After all, Shen Li had published a paper on this before, and became the youngest first author since their publication was founded for a hundred years.
Shen Li closed the computer, thought about it, got up and went to the study.
She came to the bookshelf on the right, glanced slowly over it, and finally picked out a book at random.
Afterwards, she sat down on the chair on the left, opened the comic, and read it.
…
An hour passed quickly.
tuk tuk.
Shen Zhijin knocked on the study door.
"Ali."
Shen Li closed the book, got up and went to open the door.
Shen Zhijin glanced over the book in her hand, and was dazed for a moment.
But he recovered quickly.
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
Shen Li put the book back on the shelf.
"It's all fine."
When Shen Zhijin brought her here, he passed by a large supermarket and bought a lot of things.
The two walked towards the kitchen.
Shen Li opened the refrigerator, picked out ingredients, and said:
"By the way, Dad, I just received the "Universe" draft notification, and this time it's much faster than last time."
Shen Zhijin nodded.
"Your article is very good."
He had personally read her paper, so of course there would be no problem.
Shen Li suddenly thought of something, turned to look at him, and said quietly:
"Dad, could it be that they saw that the corresponding author was you, so they should hurry up?"
Shen Zhijin couldn't help laughing.
"All submissions to "Universe" must first pass the review team. They have a complete review process, and all the editors are very strict. Being able to pass the manuscript so quickly can only prove that your paper is well written."
"If all the corresponding authors are going to be treated specially on my papers, then they should be pretty busy too."
Shen Li: "..."
Shen Zhijin can really say such a thing... But it is still the truth...
She silently took out two radishes and a box of beef, planning to add a radish brisket to make up for it.
The doorbell rang suddenly.
Shen Li was taken aback: Who will come at this time
Shen Zhijin went to open the door.
The next moment, she heard two familiar voices.
"Brother-in-law."
"Teacher Shen."
