Luo Mingsheng didn't say anything, but Qian Wenshi, as his pillow, naturally knew it very well.
Qian Wenshi wanted to show her stepmother's generosity and care, and took the initiative to mention Luo Lian: "Luo Lian doesn't know what to do if he lives outside alone. Why not... let him move back."
Luo Qianqian raised her eyes to Qian Wenshi, said nothing, then lowered her head to eat.
Luo Mingsheng pursed his lips and said, "He has decided to move out and will not move back."
Qian Wenshi was stunned and had nothing to say.
Luo Lian is the kind of person who will have his own way. No matter what others said, they couldn't change Luo Lian's mind.
Qian Wenshi put some vegetables into Luo Mingsheng's bowl and said, "Let's eat."
This matter should just come to an end.
Maybe it will come up again in a few days.
Although Luo Lian no longer lives in the Luo family and is clearly no longer around, Qian Wenshi feels particularly unsure. It's like...predicting that something bad will happen, and having an uneasy feeling.
Every time she sees Luo Lian, she always feels uneasy.
The way Luo Lian looked at her, no matter how hard he tried to hide it, the depths of his pupils were extremely cold and frightening.
Qian Wenshi glanced at Luo Mingsheng beside him.
There was an age gap between Luo Mingsheng and her, but now Luo Mingsheng is getting older and fatter, and he is no longer as handsome as he was when they first met.
She sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on her face.
Luo Qianqian secretly raised her eyes, looked at Luo Mingsheng, and then at Qian Wenshi.
After eating, Luo Qianqian returned to her room.
There are papers spread on the table and a few textbooks on one side. The small desk lamp was on, and there were many cute anime figures on the table. She particularly liked Xiaomi and bought a set of six of them, which she put in a three-dimensional storage box so that she could see them every day.
She looked at the papers on the table and saw that she was actually under a lot of pressure to study every day in her senior year of high school. And she is neither talented nor hard-working.
She stretched out a finger and flicked the gel pen on the table.
The pen barrel rolled a few times and stopped.
She dialed again in the opposite direction.
The gel pen rolled back into place.
"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door and Qian Wenshi's voice, "Qian Qian, can mom come in?"
Luo Qianqian came back to her senses and said, "Come in."
Qian Wenshi walked in with a freshly cut fruit plate. She stood next to Luo Qianqian and said, "Don't study too late every day. Your health is the most important thing."
There are no high school seniors who don’t work hard, and going to bed at twelve o’clock is already the norm. Luo Qianqian's concentration is not particularly stable. He will suddenly wander away for a while while learning, and it will be even later.
Luo Qianqian smiled at Qian Wenshi: "Yeah."
Because I stayed up late for a long time, I couldn’t hide the dark circles under my eyes. The condition of my skin is not very good either. So much so that his face didn't look that good.
Although Qian Wenshi wanted Luo Qianqian to do better in the college entrance examination, she was also worried that her body wouldn't be able to survive.
Qian Wenshi reached out and tucked a few strands of hair on Luo Qianqian's face behind her ears, "If you are under great mental pressure and feel burdened, just tell your mother."
It is especially easy to have psychological pressure at this time, which can lead to depression.
Luo Qianqian has always been hiding things in her heart.
She smiled at Qian Wenshi: "What else can I do? I'm just busy answering questions. It's a question-sea tactic, but I've been really tired lately."
Qian Wenshi touched her face and said, "It's been a long time since you took a good look in the mirror. Your face looks very bad, and the dark circles under your eyes can't be blocked at all."
Luo Qianqian said: "It's okay. I'll stay up for a while and pass the college entrance examination. I can sleep as long as I want." Luo Qianqian is still somewhat motivated.
Qian Wenshi pinched the tip of her nose and said, "Don't tire yourself out."
"Don't worry, Mom."
"Then you study hard, I'm going out." Qian Wenshi pushed the fruit plate, "Remember to eat some fruit."
"Yeah, yeah."
After Qian Wenshi went out, Luo Qianqian sighed.
There were some things on her mind that she couldn't talk to Qian Wenshi. Including her last meeting with Luo Lian, including the gossip over the years, including others' contempt...
Luo Qianqian has never said these words to anyone.
Keep it all in your heart.
Even if she said... it wouldn't change anything.
Luo Qianqian actually has no hostility toward Luo Lian, but more of fear.
She actually also wanted to improve the relationship between her and Luo Lian. But... this is a... very difficult thing.
Luo Qianqian scratched her hair, feeling really annoyed.
She sighed heavily, picked up the pen again, and started writing questions.

The next day was Sunday. Luo Lian prepared some dishes and planned to invite Deng Zhiming, Chen Chu, and Grandma Fan over for dinner.
The first week after moving here, I said I would treat everyone to dinner on the weekend. As a result, sometimes I work overtime on weekends, and sometimes I am too busy, so this matter has been postponed until now.
It's relatively simple, a family version of hot pot. Considering that Grandma Fan might not like eating these, he ordered a nearby takeaway and delivered some chicken soup and some light side dishes.
When everything was ready, Luo Lian went to knock on the door.
Deng Zhiming and Chen Chu are both homebound people who stay at home on weekends without going out or stepping outside.
Deng Zhiming was still a little sleepy when he opened the door. After all, they usually slept until noon on weekends.
Luo Lian smiled at him: "I have prepared hot pot and some dishes. You can go to my house for lunch. I said before that I would treat you to dinner on the weekend, but I have been putting it off until now. Please give me a favor."
Deng Zhiming rubbed his eyes, "Huh? Is it too much trouble for you?"
"No, just come over after you clean up. I'm ready." Luo Lian prepared it in advance, just in case they had lunch first. "I'll call Grandma Fan."
Luo Lian walked to the door of 504, reached out and knocked on the door.
After a while, Grandma Fan opened the door. Her legs and feet are not very agile. Although she is not completely unable to walk, walking will take a lot of time.
Luo Lian said to her: "Let's have lunch at my place. I have always wanted to invite my neighbors over for dinner. I was too busy in the past few weeks and I just have time this week. I have already prepared lunch."
Grandma Fan said "Oops", "I just made dumplings."
Luo Lian chuckled: "Then just put it in the refrigerator to freeze it. It will be the same if you eat it another day."
Grandma Fan glanced at him and said, "I'll tidy up and go to your place later."
"good."
Both families said hello, and Luo Lian responded with 501. The table is already ready, just waiting for everyone to gather and eat together. He turned around and saw the lunch box on the kitchen table, which Grandma Fan had given him yesterday. He forgot to send it back yesterday.
He sat on the sofa and began to feel dazed.
After a few minutes, there was finally a knock on the door.
Luo Lian stood up and opened the door. Deng Zhiming and Chen Chu stood at the door with smiles on their faces.
