Nie Yutong brought a lot of gifts, and the intention was for Lu Xixin to choose them. For this kind of invitation, unless you are very familiar or between relatives, you usually only need to bring one or two gifts. There is no need to pack a lot.
But Lu Xixin was squatting on the ground, fiddling with several gifts, and she couldn't put them down. She wanted to give them all to Nian Xi.
This is a very wonderful feeling. Whenever I think of that little boy, my heart becomes soft and I can't help but want to be good to him and want to give him everything I have.
After choosing for a long time, she chose two items, one was Lego and the other was a racing car.
She originally wanted to surprise Shen Nianxi, but when she got there, she realized that he was not at home.
Didn't you invite her to dinner? Why aren't you at home?
Lu Xixin's expression darkened visibly.
The living room was empty except for the servant Aunt Wang who came forward to greet her. She enthusiastically took the gift from her hand and walked in while saying: "Young master Nianxi must be very happy to know that you are coming. He talked about it all day long yesterday. He told me to prepare delicious dishes, but I was so nervous that I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to show off my skills.”
Imagining the little boy mumbling with his red and moist mouth, Lu Xixin pursed her lips and curled her eyes.
Guiding Lu Xixin to sit down on the sofa, Aunt Wang said: "Young Master Nianxi was originally waiting for you, but yesterday someone suddenly came to the old house and took the young master away. But don't worry, young master He will be back at noon, and he also left you a letter."
Aunt Wang took out a piece of pink letterhead with the little boy's immature handwriting on it:
Sister Xixin:
I'm going to grandma's place today and will be back at noon tomorrow. You can wait for me and I'll be back soon.
At the end of the letter, two little figures were drawn holding hands.
Reading the letter, Lu Xixin's heart felt as if it had been showered with warm water, feeling warm and soft.
Holding the letter in hand, Lu Xixin didn't want to leave immediately. She didn't want to do anything. She just wanted to wait for the little boy quietly.
Because she was worried that she would be bored, Aunt Wang brought a book after bringing her a fruit plate and snacks and read it for her to relieve her boredom. She apologized and said: "I'm sorry, Miss Lu, I'm the only one today. Sister Liu." I have something to do at home, so I'm not here. I have some things to do in the kitchen, so I can't accompany you."
Lu Xixin didn't need anyone to accompany her, so she let Aunt Wang go to the kitchen and read a book by herself.
This is a novel, a very famous novel "Gone with the Wind". Lu Xixin liked this book very much when she was in junior high school, and she liked the heroine in it. At that time, she was young, relatively middle school, and had no parents around, so she loved the novel. To be strong, I see other students being favored by their parents and I am jealous to death, but I am so stubborn and say I don’t care.
She should be as strong as Scarlett Hao and not care about other people's opinions.
Later, when she got older, understood better, and no longer longed for her parents so much, Lu Xixin would often read this novel.
Lu Xixin didn't intend to read here, but she had nothing to do, so she flipped through it casually. When she turned to a certain page, she found a line of words.
It's a very beautiful handwriting, very similar to her handwriting.
"Shen Jiayao will love Lu Xixi for the rest of his life!"
Lu Xixin's hand holding the page froze, and she looked at this line of text, which became more and more familiar to her.
How strange, it looks so much like her handwriting.
She put the novel on the coffee table, took out paper and pen from her bag, and wrote over the words: "Shen Jiayao will love Lu Xixi for the rest of his life!"
After writing, compare the two sides.
The handwriting is almost identical.
Lu Xixin had practiced calligraphy since she was a child, and had mastered Mrs. Wei's hairpin small regular script. The handwriting was slightly long and beautiful. Moreover, she didn't like to write in a continuous line. When she was not in a hurry, she would write squarely and one stroke at a time.
The exact same handwriting and similar names made Lu Xixin feel a little strange, and she stared at this line of writing for a long time.
After that, she flipped through a few more pages to see if there were any similar handwriting, but she never saw it. It wasn't until the end of the book, at the corner of the last page, that she found another word.
This time, it is a different handwriting, with a man's strong and sharp handwriting, iron painting and silver hook.
--"good"
It exactly echoes the previous line of text.
Lu Xixin's fingertips suddenly became numb and itchy, and a subtle emotion penetrated her heart, making her chest and mouth sore.
She closed the book and took a sip of water to calm her trembling heart.
At this moment, Shen Jiayao walked in from outside the door.
The man was wearing a black suit, with his cuffs rolled low, and he was holding a document in his hand. He was walking in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry. When he came in and saw Lu Xixin, he just nodded slightly, passed her, and walked upstairs.
He had already passed her and stepped onto the stairs, but suddenly stepped back and finally stood beside her, his eyes falling on the books on the coffee table.
Following his gaze, Lu Xixin explained softly: "Aunt Wang was afraid that I would be bored, so she brought it here to relieve my boredom."
Shen Jiayao ignored her, but leaned down, picked up the book, patted it carefully, and put it in his arms as if he cherished it.
"Ask Aunt Wang to give you another copy."
After saying that, he walked towards the stairs.
Hearing the noise here, Aunt Wang ran out and said, "Sir, he's back."
Shen Jiayao turned to her: "Don't touch this book in the future."
Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly: "Sorry sir, I will pay attention."
Lu Xixin, who was sitting on the sofa, was a little embarrassed. If it weren't for her, Aunt Wang wouldn't have taken this book.
Judging from Mr. Shen's appearance, this book should be very important to him.
She was thinking about whether she should stand up and apologize. Over there, Shen Jiayao had already told Aunt Wang: "Go and clean up the garage."
What's the problem with Kuqa? It wasn't just cleaned up in the morning. Aunt Wang was surprised, but since the husband ordered it, she went over to take a look, maybe it was messed up again.
When Aunt Wang was walking out, she passed by Lu Xixin and apologized to her: "I'm sorry, Miss Lu. I'll get you another book later."
"No need." Lu Xixin waved her hands quickly.
Mr. Shen looked a little scary just now. When you are a guest in someone else's home, it's better not to look at things randomly.
"Then Miss Lu, eat some fruit." Aunt Wang pushed the fruit plate in front of her and explained: "Sir, he should be back to get the documents. I heard that he has an important meeting today. Miss Lu doesn't need to be embarrassed. He will probably be there soon."
leave."
Lu Xixin smiled but said nothing.
Aunt Wang went to the garage. She was the only one downstairs. She raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It was almost 12 o'clock.
It was already this time, and Shen Nianxi hadn't come back yet, so she couldn't sit still.
Nothing really happened, so she turned on her phone and searched for literature on the Internet. As soon as she opened the literature library, she heard a bang, which startled her.
——It came from upstairs!
Lu Xixin raised her eyes and looked over worriedly, wondering if something had happened to Shen Jiayao.
Just when he was hesitating whether to go up or not, another loud noise came, accompanied by the man's short muffled hum.
This time, Lu Xixin no longer hesitated and decisively got up and went upstairs.
