Lying in bed at night, I rested on Luo Xiangdong's arm, although it didn't move. But he never fell asleep. Luo Xiangdong's even breathing came from my right side. He hadn't moved for a long time, but I knew he wasn't asleep either.
I have a lot on my mind. I couldn't help but shout softly: "Xiangdong."
"Huh?" Sure enough, Luo Xiangdong was very sober.
I said, "I have a day off tomorrow, please invite Rong Xin out. Let's have a meal."
Luo Xiangdong still had the intention to joke with me: "Are you going to fight in front of me?"
I can't laugh. Because I took this matter very seriously, I replied with a serious face: "She is also in Night City. We will inevitably meet sooner or later. In this case, I have to prepare early."
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. I don't want to sit still and wait for death. The key is that I am fed up with the torture of random thoughts.
Luo Xiangdong didn't say anything else. Only one word came back: "Okay."
We both lay down just after ten o'clock in the evening. Tossing and turning. I picked up the phone on the bedside table and looked at the time. It was almost early in the morning. I was terribly sleepy, but I couldn't fall asleep, my temples were pounding.
Luo Xiangdong's arm was across my waist, and he whispered: "Go to sleep."
I turned off my phone, closed my eyes, and forced myself not to think about anything, but Rong Xin's face kept coming to my mind. When I think about the fact that they will face each other day and night from now on, I can't help but feel uncomfortable in my heart.
Because I slept late, it was already past twelve o'clock when I opened my eyes the next morning. My back was to Luo Xiangdong, and he hugged me from behind. I turned over, facing him, and rubbed against his shoulder.
Luo Xiangdong snorted and woke up quickly.
I said, "Call Rong Xin and make an appointment. Let's have dinner together."
Luo Xiangdong asked me in a daze: "Do you really want to see her?"
I said, "What are you afraid of? She has three heads and six arms?"
Luo Xiangdong raised the corners of his lips, closed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that you will take away her head and six arms."
I said, "If she is fine, why should I remove her arms and legs?"
Luo Xiangdong hugged me and said loudly: "You have such a good character, at least you will not be wronged."
I hugged Luo Xiangdong back and asked, "If one day I really beat Rong Xin, will you lose your temper with me?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Rong Xin is not a good-tempered master. If you two fight together, I just ask you not to lose."
I was nestling on Luo Xiangdong's chest. When I heard this, I suddenly stepped back, frowned at him and said, "You also said that you don't have much contact with Rong Xin. How do you know that she has a bad temper?"
Luo Xiangdong opened his eyes, his eyes still a little worried, and said: "It's hard to tell at a glance whether you have a good temper or not. She is the eldest daughter of the Rong family. Naturally, she has been spoiled since she was a child. She is a little tricky, but overall she is still good. OK."
After that, without waiting for my response, Luo Xiangdong added: "Anyway, I don't like what she said, so I have no idea."
I snorted and glanced at him and said, "From now on, you two will be in Luo's family and get along day and night. If we don't keep it together, we will fall in love over time."
Luo Xiangdong reached out and pinched my face and said with a smile, "Do you think anyone can seduce you as well as you?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I have more female assistants around me. Who do you think I'm with?" After saying that, he glanced at me meaningfully, and then said: "I have fallen into your hands in this life, Zeyu and Zheng They can all see clearly that I am being eaten up by you, and you are the only one who is suspicious all day long, fearing that I will run away. "
"But I'm quite happy to see you like this. If you don't react at all, then I really have to examine myself."
Seeing Luo Xiangdong talking and laughing happily, the bitterness and hatred deep in my heart were somewhat diluted. Staring at Luo Xiangdong's handsome face, I held my tongue and said, "You blame me for being suspicious, and I blame you for having such a peach-shaped face. With such an uneasy face, as soon as you leave me with your front foot, I will immediately fall with my back foot." Starting to worry."
Luo Xiangdong looked at me and replied with a smile: "Then you might as well follow me all day long. I don't want you to be a tour guide anyway, it's too tiring."
I replied without thinking: "You support me if you don't work? Don't say you support me, your family may think you support me."
The smile on Luo Xiangdong's face faded slightly. He was not angry, but just distressed. He stretched out his hand to push away the broken hair from my face and said, "Zijin, I will never let you be wronged."
I stretched my arms forward and buried myself in Luo Xiangdong's arms. It doesn't matter, his words are enough. In fact, I never want to embarrass him, let alone see him in embarrassment. When big things happen, I will shoulder them with him. I still don’t believe that true love can break up the “feudal patriarchal system”.
Luo Xiangdong said that in order to wish us a successful start, we both need to be mentally alert before making an appointment with Rong Xin. So the two of us had a hearty battle for hundreds of rounds in **, making up for what we missed last night due to a bad mood.
My face was moistened by Luo Xiangdong's peach blossoms, and I lay in his arms and listened to him call Rong Xin.
Rong Xin answered quickly and said with a smile: "Hey, uncle, why do you call me when you have time?"
Upon hearing this, I could more or less tell that Luo Xiangdong and Rong Xin were not in regular contact.
Luo Xiangdong was not too polite and said bluntly: "I asked you to go out for dinner. We will have dinner after lunch. Do you have time?"
Rong Xin was surprised, and then joked sarcastically: "Don't you need to accompany your girlfriend? Why are you willing to spare time to ask me out for dinner?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Zijin wants to invite you out for a meal. Are you free?"
Rong Xin said: "You've asked me that, how can I still say I'm not free? I just had lunch, so let's do it in the evening."
Luo Xiangdong said: "What time will it be tonight? You decide."
Rong Xin said: "I have time after 7:30 in the evening. By the way, I want to eat Western food. Just go to the restaurant you took me to yesterday."
"Okay, then at eight o'clock in the evening, Maxim, I will take my position."
"Well, let's get in touch then."
When Luo Xiangdong hung up the phone, I immediately grabbed his arm, looked at him and asked, "How long will she be an intern at Luo's?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "It's said to be an internship. It's not up to her how long she stays. She can't find any excuse to get rid of her, right?"
Luo Xiangdong's words were true. I thought about it and then said, "What does she think of you?"
Luo Xiangdong raised his eyes slightly and said ambiguously: "We haven't seen her for eight hundred years. The last time I saw her, she was only twenty. I always treat her as a junior. What can she think of me?"
I couldn't help but say something to him: "What did you think of me back then? What do you think of me now?"
There were some words I didn't mention clearly, but Luo Xiangdong naturally understood them. He glanced down at me, and his hand under the quilt squeezed my waist, and then said: "Stop trying to hurt me about the past. You didn't take the initiative?"
I originally wanted to have a few words with him, but then I thought that now was not the time for us to have internal conflicts, so I quickly returned to the topic and said out loud: "I don't care what you think about her, anyway, women are chasing men. If Rong Xin is interested in you, it will be dangerous for you two to be together."
Luo Xiangdong didn't say exactly what Rong Xin meant to him, but he just told me to take comfort in the fact that he could control himself.
In the afternoon, I went out for a meal with Luo Xiangdong, and sent kingb and queenb to the pet center for a bath. Because I knew I was going to meet Rong Xin in the evening, I put on very elaborate makeup. Even Luo Xiangdong couldn't help but look sideways at me frequently and was driving inattentively.
At 7:50 pm, Luo Xiangdong and I arrived at Maxim’s private room. Luo Xiangdong also answered the phone in the middle of the trip. He didn't avoid me. I heard him call "Mom".
Guan Lin should ask him about Rong Xin, but Luo Xiangdong replied frankly: "I made an appointment with Rong Xin to go out to dinner, and I'm waiting for her."
Guan Lin didn't know what she said, but Luo Xiangdong looked calm and replied: "I'm with Zijin. When Rong Xin comes to Night City, we have to say hello."
I involuntarily straightened my back and looked at Luo Xiangdong without blinking until he hung up the phone.
I quickly asked: "What did your mother say?"
Luo Xiangdong put his phone back in his pocket and said back to me: "It's nothing, let's have fun and eat more."
It's strange that I believe him.
There was a British retro clock hanging on the wall of the private room. At eight o'clock sharp, Rong Xin opened the door and walked in. This is the first time I have seen her face in person. Without exception, she is wearing exquisite makeup, and her clothes and supplies are all from famous brands.
Out of politeness, I wanted to stand up, but seeing Luo Xiangdong sitting still, I hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile: "Rong Xin, hello."
Rong Xin was holding a dark green Hermes medium-sized platinum bag on her left arm. She nodded to me and said "Hello" lightly. Then she looked across my face and said directly to Luo Xiangdong who was sitting there: " I'm not used to driving Bentleys. Please lend me your car to drive. I almost ran into another car when I turned around on the road."
Luo Xiangdong said: "You can't get used to driving my dad's car, so you can't get used to driving my car even more."
Rong Xin didn't squint her eyes, as if I didn't exist, she sat down directly, and then said to Luo Xiangdong: "Stingy, lend me for two days, it's not like I won't pay you back."
Tsk tsk, look at the show of authority. I really regretted that I stood up and gave her face.
I sat down again without leaving a trace, and I didn't rush to talk, waiting for Luo Xiangdong to finish talking to her.
Rong Xin asked Luo Xiangdong to drive his car, but Luo Xiangdong refused to rent it without any reason.
Rong Xin pursed her lips, and then said: "My dad asked you to take good care of me. You don't even want to borrow a car, just to see if I don't call to complain later."
Luo Xiangdong smiled lightly and replied: "Whatever you want, I don't believe Brother Shizhang can blame me for this matter."
Rong Xin was playing with her phone, and her crystal nails were so dazzling that I couldn't take my eyes away. Hearing this, she glanced at Luo Xiangdong with a half-smile, and then said: "Then I won't tell my dad, but I will complain to your dad directly. Grandpa will definitely scold you when he turns around."
Luo Xiangdong said nonchalantly: "Then it doesn't matter. It's not the first time that the old man has scolded me."
I listened to the conversation between Luo Xiangdong and Rong Xin. Although Luo Xiangdong kept quarreling with her, their attitudes and unscrupulous looks... I was deeply worried.
