There was a moment of silence on the phone.
For a moment, Lu Huai and Xiao laughed.
"Ali, do you know what grandpa said today?"
Shen Li didn't expect him to say this suddenly:
"Huh? What did Grandpa Lu say?"
"He said, why is it me who celebrates my birthday instead of you."
Lu Huaihe looked out of the window, his deep and hoarse voice seemed to blend into the dark night, his words were filled with a slightly hot temperature, and even the silent night was ignited.
"Shen Tangtang, grow up quickly."
…
The next day is the weekend.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the black Palamela stopped at the downstairs of Building No. 9 in Tianye City.
A tall and handsome figure stood beside the car.
The breeze blew, stirring his pure black shirt, revealing the perfect texture lines under it.
He had one hand in his pocket, and his cuffs were half rolled up, exposing his white and tough forearms.
The black hair hangs down, the line from the brow bone to the bridge of the nose is extremely smooth, and the jaw line is clean and sharp.
The posture is loose and lazy, but it reveals the abstinence and dignity in his bones, like snow on the top of a mountain, unattainable.
As soon as Shen Li walked out, what she saw was such a scene.
Such stunning beauty, even if it has been seen countless times, it can still be easily stunning.
As if he had noticed something, he raised his head and looked over, his black eyes narrowed.
She wore low-waisted jeans, white shoes, a black tight-fitting short-sleeved upper body, and a short denim jacket.
The girl's graceful and exquisite curves are carefully outlined, her legs are long and straight, and her waist is slender.
The slightly curly long hair was tied up, and a loose ball head was pulled up, which further complemented the white and slender neck of the swan. A few strands of soft and broken hair hung down on the forehead, lazy and beautiful.
She was already extremely white, and she wore tight black short sleeves, which made the small piece of skin at the neckline white and clear, as thin as cream, and her collarbone was delicate.
The moment he saw her, his originally extremely cold face stretched his brows and eyes, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
"Ali."
Shen Li walked up to him, raised her face, and smiled at him.
"Second brother."
Lu Huai and helped her open the car door, Shen Li grabbed the small black satchel and got into the back row, Lu Huai and followed.
Fang Qingyun smiled and said:
"Ari is so beautiful today!"
Shen Li smiled:
"Thank you, Uncle Fang."
"Speaking of which, you haven't been there for a long time. The old man has been talking about it all the time. I'm looking forward to you today!"
Shen Li was really busy some time ago, and today it was Lu Huai's birthday, so she said she would go to Lu's house to help him celebrate his birthday.
"I miss you, Grandpa Lu, too."
Fang Qingyun was elated when he heard it.
"Your Aunt Chunlan bought a lot of ingredients today, and you plan to show off your skills. They are all your favorite food!"
Shen Li blinked:
"It's my second brother's birthday today, I still choose my favorite—"
Fang Qingyun laughed and said:
"The old man said, what do you like, the second young master will definitely like it! Then choose what you like!"
Of course, there is another sentence: Lu Huaihe often comes back, but Ah Li comes here rarely, so of course you have to be close to Ah Li!
However, considering that Lu Huaiyu was also there, Fang Qingyun did not repeat this sentence.
Shen Li coughed lightly.
"Then... I'd like to thank Grandpa Lu and Aunt Chunlan first."
…
Half an hour later, the vehicle arrived at Lu's house.
Mr. Lu was watering the flowers in the yard. When he saw Shen Li get off the car, he immediately put down the already empty watering can.
"Ali!"
"Grandpa Lu."
Mr. Lu stepped forward, looked at Shen Li,
"Why is Ali losing weight again?"
Shen Li silently lowered her face.
"no?"
"It's just that I've lost weight! I've lost a lot of weight compared to when I was in Baicheng! When you come home today, you must make up for it!"
Shen Li was stunned for a moment:
"Baicheng?"
Standing aside, Lu Huai, who had been completely ignored by his grandfather, explained:
"Grandpa was watching the live broadcast of 'Embracing the Stars'."
Shen Li understood, and was a little dumbfounded for a while.
Mr. Lu even read this...
"The lens will widen the proportions of people, so you don't have to worry about it. But you, how are you doing recently?"
"well!"
Mr. Lu smiled brightly,
"Get inside!"
…
Lu Huai and Guo Guo have always kept a low profile on their birthdays, and this year is no different.
At noon, one dish after another was served on the table, with a rich and attractive aroma.
Shen Li looked around and asked in a low voice:
"Aunt Chunlan, should the second brother's birthday cake be cut before the meal or after the meal?"
Zhang Chunlan smiled and waved her hands:
"Second Young Master has always disliked those things, so I wasn't prepared."
Shen Li froze for a moment, then felt normal again.
After all, Lu Huai and his family were excellent in all aspects and lacked everything.
A birthday cake or something is indeed a bit clichéd.
She nodded.
…
The meal was very lively.
Mr. Lu hadn't seen Shen Li for a long time, and he kept pulling her to talk.
After finally finishing the meal, he proposed to play chess again.
Of course Shen Li would not refuse, and Lu Huaihe was watching the chess from the side.
Mr. Lu's chess skills have been miraculously maintained at the same level for many years.
Shen Li had played against him a few times before, and had basically figured out his level and style, so she wanted to give way quietly.
But she soon discovered that it was quite difficult to do this - because Mr. Lu didn't regret his move.
In this way, his level is even more direct, and Shen Li can't even give him a chance.
Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer, and spoke after deliberation:
"Grandpa Lu, I don't think you made the right move just now? Did you make a mistake?"
Mr. Lu's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to nod, he saw Lu Huaiyu sitting next to him, with a half-smile.
He coughed hard.
"No, no! I think it's okay to lay down there!"
Shen Li: "...Are you sure?"
Mr. Lu's heart was bleeding, he held back and said:
"OK! OK!"
Shen Li said "Oh".
Snapped.
She dropped a child.
"You lost."
Mr. Lu:? ?
He quickly looked at the chessboard: Lost? How did you lose!
"No, I just—"
His words suddenly stuck in his throat.
Shen Li looked over with a questioning expression, and stopped moving to collect the chess pieces.
Mr. Lu's lips moved, and finally he had to reluctantly look away.
"Then, it seems that I did make a mistake just now... Let's play again!"
He has learned his lesson and will definitely win next time!
After one hour.
Grandpa Lu looked at his chess pieces that had been sealed again, and finally waved his hand.
"No more, no more."
Shen Li asked:
"Are you really not going down?"
Mr. Lu endured it:
"This thing is easy to play with things and lose one's mind. It's not good."
Shen Li: "..."
Lu Huaihe didn't seem surprised, he started to help collect the chess pieces, and put the things back into the cabinet.
"Grandpa, are you tired?"
Mr. Lu was very tired.
"Tired tired."
Lu Huai said:
"Then I took Ali to the movies?"
Mr. Lu sighed over the vicissitudes of life, and he lost interest in many things he had planned, so he waved his hand dejectedly.
"go Go."
