"Eighteen."

Tao Xinyi smiled and nodded, her cheeks dyed cherry red, staring at the tablecloth printed with flowers without daring to raise her head.

After learning that she was eighteen years old, Lu Guofu felt relieved. He looked at Lu Ming meaningfully, patted his shoulder and said, "You are really promising. Waiter, please order the pickled fish!"

Lu Ming met Lu Guofu's inquiring gaze and pretended to be serious: "Actually, I can still be more promising."

Be so promising that you can make up for all the regrets around you...

However, Lu Guofu's brain circuit was bent by this sentence. If he is more promising, it is possible that he will bring him back in his third year of high school! That is not possible! Considering that Tao Xinyi is still there, he thought for a long time and finally came up with a suitable sentence.

Lu Guofu stood up, pressed Lu Ming's shoulders with a little force, and said in a serious voice: "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and good things will take a long time."

Suddenly, Lu Ming heard his father say something dumb. Lu Ming didn't realize what he wanted to say. Why did his father stop talking to Tao Xinyi after being together for a while? Tell me not to get ahead too quickly?

Tao Xinyi, who was often confused, understood what Lu Guofu meant and timidly said: "We know what we know."

Now Lu Ming understood what was going on and smiled bitterly and did not continue to talk.

The hot pickled fish was quickly served on the table. The fish fillets were white and tender, and the soup noodles were floating with red and green colors, which were composed of chili peppers and fresh peppers. The red and green colors were attractive.

Take a sip gently, and your mouth will be filled with delicious food with a slight numbing and chili flavor. Even the picky eater Tao Xinyi can't help but have an appetite.

The fresh and tender fish fillets blocked their mouths. Although no one spoke, they did not appear embarrassed and gave people a warm feeling.

When a group of people came out of the hotel, it was already completely dark, and the street lights on both sides of the road gave off a dim light that was not very bright.

"Uncle, I'll leave first. Bye! Thank you, uncle!"

Tao Xinyi smiled politely and turned to leave.

"Xinyi, uncle, I drive a taxi and will take you home by the way." After saying that, Lu Guofu winked at Lu Ming, which made Lu Ming a little embarrassed.

Lu Ming then said: "Save yourself a squeeze on the bus. Seeing as my dad is in a good mood today, let's come together."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Although Tao Xinyi felt a little embarrassed, she wanted to stay with Lu Ming for a while longer.

The weather in late autumn was cold, but Tao Xinyi's heart gradually warmed up. She walked next to Lu Ming and got into Lu Guofu's yellow taxi.

Lu Guofu specially let Tao Xinyi sit in the passenger seat, and let Lu Ming sit in the back seat alone, looking at his son through the rearview mirror.

"Girl, where do you live?"

"Splendid Huacheng. I'm sorry to trouble you, uncle." Tao Xinyi said as she glanced at Lu Ming through the rearview mirror, feeling a little sweet in her heart.

Lu Guofu turned the steering wheel with ease and sighed in his heart. Splendid Huacheng is a famous villa area, with housing prices of hundreds of thousands per square meter, and each villa worth tens of millions.

When Tao Xinyi got out of the car, Lu Guofu took out a cigarette from his pocket, held it in his mouth and smoked it. He glanced at Lu Ming and said, "Do you know what you are doing now?"

Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Dad, don't worry about me, I'm a young boy." His father must have regarded him as an adolescent boy who couldn't control his inner impulse.

"You are not a young boy, am I?"

Lu Guofu was a little irritated and felt that the cigarette had no taste, so he put out the cigarette with his fingers, pulled over and said seriously: "We are in our senior year of high school after all, so we can let go of emotional matters. I think that little girl also likes you, so don't be impatient for a while.

."

"How did you see it? Is it obvious?" Lu Ming asked puzzledly.

Before his rebirth, he had been with Tao Xinyi for many years without noticing her secret love, but his father noticed it in just a few hours, which surprised Lu Ming.

"It's so obvious. The way she looks at you is so similar to how your mother looks at you."

"So that's it." For a moment, Lu Ming was filled with emotion and said, "Dad, are you afraid that I will fall in love prematurely?"

Lu Guofu rarely became serious. He turned to look at Lu Ming and said solemnly: "Eighteen years old is not puppy love. I'm not afraid of it. I also have a good impression of that girl. It's rare for us to like each other."

"But her mother is not an easy person to get along with."

"I know this well." When Lu Meiqing was mentioned, Lu Ming frowned slightly. He didn't know if the advice given during the day was useful? I hope it was.

"On the one hand, I know you have made great progress, son, but that girl can score more than 660 points in the exam, which is more than 100 points higher than you. On the other hand, she lives in Jinxiu Huacheng, and her family has hundreds of millions.

.The gap between you is not small.”

At this point, Lu Guofu felt that his son's ambition was being shortchanged, so he turned up the volume.

"You will understand even if I don't tell you. However, as long as my son is willing to work hard, he can even find an immortal."

Lu Ming met his father's gaze, his eyes sparkling with dazzling light, and he was surrounded by absolute confidence that could not be concealed. He said loudly: "Dad, don't worry.

My son has grown up, and I know everything by heart."

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, their shadows stretched long under the street lights, and the bright moon emerged from the clouds and tore through the dark sky, although there were only one or two stars around.

On Sunday, Lu Ming, Tao Xinyi and Lin Xuan went to visit Li Xingzhou.

Li Xingzhou, who has been bedridden for more than ten days, has become increasingly lethargic. Perhaps because he has not seen his peers, he is unusually silent and hardly takes the initiative to speak. He only responds to Lin Xuan's words.

While Lin Xuan and Tao Xinyi were washing fruits, Li Xingzhou looked at Lu Ming and considered his words.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that you improved by more than 70 points in this half-term exam. Do you have any secrets that you can teach me? I am lying in the hospital, and you are all studying hard in school. I am afraid that the gap between me and Lin Xuan is getting bigger and bigger.

The bigger.

With my level, it would be good if I could get into a top school, and Lin Xuan could get into a prestigious school."

Seeing Li Xingzhou's dejected look, Lu Ming felt a little depressed. In just ten days, a person's energy and spirit had collapsed like this, so he offered words of comfort.

"The learning methods suitable for everyone are slightly different. But the principle remains the same. You must first master the knowledge points before you can answer the questions. I haven't mastered other subjects, but I can help you with English tutoring."

Li Xingzhou was a little disappointed when he didn't get a learning method similar to the Nine Yin Manual. He looked at the bird flying away by the window in silence: "Maybe the method that suits you is not suitable for me, thank you."

Seeing this, Lu Ming didn't say anything else, thinking that he would find a suitable time to mention the tutoring matter again.

Lin Xuan walked into the ward with washed apples and one in his mouth. He threw the best-looking apple to Li Xingzhou and said with a smile: "It's quite sweet!"

It's a pity that Lin Xuan's accuracy was not good, and the apple was thrown crookedly and fell under the hospital bed.
