Extra: Chapter 03 of "A Long Road to Love", the first "click..."

There was a very soft sound of the door lock being locked, and the last servant who walked out gently closed the door.

It was already dark outside at this time, and only the wall lamps were left in the room, dimly smearing on both sides of the bed, covering the young man with cold eyebrows and the girl who fell asleep due to illness.

The housekeeper who had just urged him had already ordered him to leave, and his schedule was cancelled. Lu Shaoheng looked at the girl lying on the bed, and he slowly frowned again, as if he was seriously worried about something.

Looking back, he fixed on her hand on the back of her hand.

I don't know if it's because of her young age, but her finger bones are very soft and thin, making them appear weaker compared to his.

In fact, she is still asleep now, and her consciousness is not very clear, and her grip on him is not very tight. As long as he uses a little force, she can push her hand away. But for some reason, she has such a soft hand.

The boneless hand grabbed him without warning, as if it had caught his heart, and it stopped suddenly.

Lu Shaoheng raised his other hand, as if he wanted to help pull out his own hand. After pausing in mid-air for a long time, he finally put it down.

Lu Zhen and his wife had taken a flight to other places early in the morning. Even if they were at home, they could not interfere with any of his decisions.

Therefore, he really didn't know why he made such a decision just now. He had set the departure time half a month ago and everything was arranged properly. But the moment she grabbed his hand, he really

He couldn't move even half a minute.

What is the reason for this?

Lu Shaoheng didn't know, maybe... maybe it was because she looked so pitiful.

He lay covered in sweat as if he had been fished out of water, his round little face was wrinkled in pain, and his eyes that were as bright as stars were closed in pain. He didn't know if it was a dream or something.

She was holding on to the sheets in fear, and when he came in, it took him a long time to pry her fingers away.

After she entered the Lu family, although she could rely on the surname "Lu" from now on, she really had to live a difficult life here depending on others.

Lu Shaoheng didn't worry about these things. It was just because he happened to see the intact meals brought out by the servants from her room. After asking more questions, the servants confessed that the three meals throughout the day were all.

It's like this, it seems like the person is not feeling well.

It had nothing to do with him in the first place, but by some strange combination of circumstances, his direction to go upstairs suddenly changed. The moment he opened the door, he seemed to see those stray cats and dogs on the street with no one to take care of them. Maybe even the stray cats and dogs

It's not as good as anything else, because they might meet kind-hearted people, and she would have no one to care about her in the Lu family.

Maybe this is really the case, and I feel so intolerable towards her.

"Thirsty...water, want to drink water..."

The girl lying on the bed was licking her lips, which were already foaming, and murmuring unconsciously.

Lu Shaoheng didn't hear clearly at first, so he leaned forward and came forward. After knowing what she wanted, he hurriedly took the water glass on the side and handed it to her while he was half-supported.

After she drank half the cup in small sips, he put her down gently, pulled the paper aside, and helped her wipe the remaining residue at the corners of her mouth with a slightly clumsy touch.

of water stains.

During the whole process, Lu Xijun never opened his eyes because of his high fever and the hanging medicine bottle. After drinking water, he became confused again.

Lu Shaoheng pulled the chair he was sitting on forward, looked down at her hand that never let go, and made no further movements.

This is the first time he has taken care of someone since he grew up independently until he was eighteen years old.

*******************************

In the early morning, the first ray of sunshine shines in, bringing a vibrant day.

Lu Xijun, who was still lying on the bed, no longer had so much depressing blood red in her dream. She came to the dark green forest in the fairy tale world, and the fresh smell of rhino lingered in her nose. She looked like

I feel as stable as a princess.

In the fragmented memories she experienced last night, she also seemed to realize that she was sick. Someone came to see her, someone helped her change clothes, and a doctor gave her injections and bottles...

"You have a fever."

The male voice sounded calmly, and a pair of heavy, calm eyes stared at her.

Then, there is a unique male temperature transmitted between the fingers and palms...

Thinking of this, Lu Xijun was so shocked that he suddenly opened his eyes with force, jumped up and sat up, looking ahead and around with slightly dilated pupils.

After carefully looking around every corner of the room twice, she was sure that no one was there. She was alone here. She looked at her hand, and it was only the sheet she was curling up with her fingers.

call……

Lu Xijun breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that everything was her illusion, no wonder, otherwise how could he be by her side? If I remembered correctly, he should have left home as early as last night.

While she was taking her temperature by pressing her forehead, someone knocked on the door outside, and then a servant carrying breakfast came in and placed the tray on the bedside cabinet on her left.

"Miss, it's time for breakfast," the servant said.

"...Yes." Lu Xijun nodded. Even if she was a servant in the Lu family, she had to be careful when dealing with him.

He shifted his gaze and looked at the breakfast on the tray. There were quite a few varieties, but it seemed to be much lighter than usual.

Porridge mixed with rice and millet, chopped with some preserved eggs for seasoning, two very light side dishes, a plate of small pickles, and two egg-sized butter flower rolls.

After the servant put him down, he did not leave immediately as usual, but waited there quietly.

Seeing this, Lu Xijun did not dare to delay. After taking a sip of saliva and rinsing her mouth, she picked up chopsticks and a spoon to eat, and deliberately speeded up her meal so that the servants could take her away after she finished eating.

She hadn't eaten for a whole day and night, so of course her stomach would be empty. Coupled with her good appetite after recovering from an illness, she drank the entire bowl of porridge in a short while, and also stuffed two small flower rolls down.

, when I put down the dishes and chopsticks, I felt like I was filled with energy again.

"I've finished eating..." Lu Xijun reported in a low voice, even though the other person was just a servant.

The servant immediately stepped forward, picked up the tray again, nodded slightly, and then walked out of the bedroom.

Lu Xijun, who was sitting on the bed, hesitantly shouted, "Please wait a moment!"

The servant who was stopped by her stopped and turned around to look at her again.

"I..." Lu Xijun hesitated and asked cautiously, "Yesterday I..."

She didn't know how to ask. She wanted to know what happened last night, but because of the dreamy boy's presence, she didn't dare to ask directly, so she inevitably faltered.

"Miss, what do you want to know?" After hearing this, the servant just asked.

Lu Xijun was even more at a loss after being asked this question. He finally managed to organize some words, but when he looked up, he saw the cold face of the other party that had not changed for a century. He was so scared that he swallowed back all the words he wanted to ask.

"...No, it's nothing." She shook her head repeatedly.

The servant said no more, nodded slightly, turned around and left the room again.

But after closing the door, he didn't go downstairs toward the kitchen as usual. Instead, he crossed the stairs and walked straight forward. Then he stopped after passing a corner. He nodded respectfully and went down, facing in front of him.

A tall young man standing with his hands behind his back.

"Master." The servant shouted respectfully, and then moved the tray in his hand forward to signal.

Lu Shaoheng didn't say much, his posture remained unchanged, his long and narrow eyes glanced down slightly, he scanned all the dishes on the tray, then withdrew his gaze and stepped forward.

The fever had gone away in the early morning, and I ate both porridge and flower rolls...

It shows that the disease is completely cured.

******************************

It's a bright day, the sun is shining.

After checking the calendar, Lu Xijun also confirmed that she had slept for a day and a night. It should have been the night when the Lu family held a farewell party. She lay by the window for too long and blew the night wind before she caught a cold and fell ill. But who gave her the disease?

, she was not sure who took care of her.

Every time I think about this, those eyes that do not match my age will appear in my eyes.

Shaking his head, Lu Xijun, sitting on the bench in the courtyard, tried his best to block out this possibility again.

In the Lu family, she was always treated as an adopted daughter and was treated well to food and drink, and her personal freedom was never restricted. It was just the servants' indifferent attitude towards her. So after she probably got familiar with the way back to her room,

, she began to try walking around the villa, and her favorite thing was to sit on the bench in the backyard.

As the sun gradually set, Lu Xijun looked at the time and stood up to go back to the villa.

Just when I walked in from the back door, I saw a young man walking towards me.

Her eyes widened, and she was suddenly shocked.

A lot of thoughts and possibilities flew through my mind at once, all of them surged up.

"You--" Lu Xijun pointed at the young man facing him and spoke in disbelief.

Lu Shaoheng, who was pointed at by her, frowned and looked at her protruding index finger with an unhappy expression.

She also quickly realized that her behavior was very impolite. She retracted her hand in panic and nervously held it behind her back. However, she still blurted out and asked, "You, didn't you go to report...how could..."

Why are you still here?

"I'll go in a week." Lu Shaoheng said calmly, then changed the topic and calmed down a little, "What, do I need to report to you?"

It's not like an ordinary school. You can report later or two days later. It's strictly disciplined. So if you miss that time, you can only wait for the second reporting time. This is still a matter of trust.

A backdoor that only exists through relationships.

"No, it's not!" Lu Xijun shook his head hurriedly.
