After making several calls but still not getting through, Lu Xixin gave up and sat on the sofa reading a book.
It was a rare moment of free time, when he didn't have to be busy doing experiments or socializing with others. Lu Xixin took out the novel and read it carefully.
She hasn't read novels for a long time. She only reads literature and materials. It feels like her mind is full of papers and materials without any literary flavor. You must know that she also wrote several novels during her second year in high school.
She reads quickly and has almost a photographic memory. She finished a novel in less than an hour.
I stood up and stretched, seeing that it was getting late, I was ready to have some dinner.
I was just thinking about what to eat when Lu Yaqing called me.
"Sister Xixin, are you still busy? Come to my place to have something to eat. Brother Xiuming is here too. I have prepared a lot of red wine. Let's have a wine tasting together tonight."
Lu Xixin happened to be a little hungry, so she nodded obediently: "Well, I'll be there in a minute."
After going to the bathroom to wash her hands, Lu Xixin went to Lu Yaqing's room.
Each room in the suite has a dining room where you can have meals and receive guests.
When Lu Xixin came over, Lu Yaqing had already changed into a pure white, simple dress that was more homely. Gu Xiuming also changed into another one. She was wearing a suit before, but now she is wearing casual clothes.
Seeing Lu Xixin, Lu Yaqing glanced at her covertly and found that she was still wearing the same clothes as before.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Lu Yaqing pretended to be concerned and asked gently: "Sister, why are you still wearing the clothes before? They are all gray and uncomfortable. How about changing to another one? I have a few sets of clothes here that I haven't worn. I hope you don't mind.
"
This considerate and considerate look is like an elegant noble lady meeting a country bumpkin who doesn't understand etiquette.
Then Yu condescended to teach the other party etiquette.
Lu Xixin paused for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Lu Yaqing, her eyes flickering slightly, as if she felt a little funny.
"No need." She refused coldly.
Lu Yaqing sat at the dining table, leaning her chin, with an elegant posture: "I understand, sister, she may not have had this habit before, but the Lu family is different. The Lu family is a wealthy family, and they must follow rules. There are rules for what to wear on any occasion.
.Don’t wear it casually, otherwise others will laugh at you.”
Having said this, she turned to Gu Xiuming and said considerately: "Brother Xiuming, don't dislike Sister Xixin. She just doesn't understand these things. I will teach her slowly and promise to give you an elegant and wealthy wife."
After talking about clothes, Lu Yaqing criticized Lu Xixin's dining etiquette a few more points, saying that she used her fork incorrectly.
When she said these words, she always spoke slowly and in a soft voice, completely thinking about Lu Xixin.
That is to say, Lu Xixin has a strong heart. If it were anyone else, under such picky conditions, I am afraid that she would have lost her inner balance, felt low self-esteem and fearful.
This is a common mentality among people. When you see people of a higher class than yourself, see their elegant etiquette, luxurious jewelry, and expensive clothes, you can't help but feel ashamed of yourself.
Lu Yaqing wanted to use this method to humiliate Lu Xixin, make her feel inferior, and let Gu Xiuming see the gap between the two of them.
After fussing about dining etiquette, Lu Yaqing started talking about red wine. She talked about the history, taste and identification of red wine, and it was like a familiar treasure.
Those bottles of wine that cost thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, were just ordinary bottles of wine that she could barely drink.
The posture is very grand.
After she finished speaking, she did not forget to ask Lu Xixin: "What kind of wine does Sister Xixin like to drink?"
While Lu Yaqing was talking, Lu Xixin had already drank a bowl of soup and a piece of steak, and her stomach was completely full.
Lu Yaqing's words were completely ignored and did not take her heart to heart.
She came here to eat, and she focused on eating over there.
I will listen to Lu Yaqing's questions by name.
Lu Xixin wiped the corners of her mouth and raised her eyes jokingly: "I don't drink."
"Don't drink?" Lu Yaqing chuckled, "Sister Xixin, you can't say that when you go out in the future. People like us must understand wine. Do you know what you are drinking? It is red wine from Chateau Petrus.
The second most expensive wine in the world.”
She lowered her eyes and covered her lips: "If you say you don't drink, others will laugh at you."
"Laughing?" Lu Xixin turned her eyes, her patience exhausted, and looked straight at her: "Aren't you just laughing at me?"
Lu Yaqing was startled, she didn't expect Lu Xixin to be so straightforward.
Lu Xixin took a glass of red wine, shook it, and said with a cold expression: "It's just a glass of wine. What can you do if you understand it, but what if you don't understand it?"
Then he sneered: "Your so-called ladylike demeanor is that you keep mocking me with things I don't understand?"
Lu Yaqing quickly glanced at Gu Xiuming, her face turned pale, and she quickly denied: "I, I'm not..."
Lu Xixin interrupted her: "Just because you haven't changed your clothes and don't understand red wine, you ridicule and disdain me. I didn't laugh at you. Do you know Louis Pasteur? Do you know the molecular formula of penicillin? Do you know immunity?
What is the key principle of system activation? You don’t know, look, I didn’t laugh at you for being uneducated.”
No culture?
Lu Yaqing's face twisted for a moment.
After finishing speaking, Lu Xixin stood up and looked at Lu Yaqing condescendingly, with a faint look in her eyes: "I've eaten, you can use it slowly."
She walked towards the door. As soon as she reached the door and put her hand on the door handle, Lu Yaqing's nervous voice came from behind her: "Sister Xixin, you misunderstood me."
Lu Yaqing cried so hard, as if she had been greatly wronged: "I didn't mean it like that, I did it all for your own good, and I really want to teach you! I know that telling the truth and pointing out other people's mistakes will make you feel uncomfortable.
It will make the other party embarrassed and unhappy. I also know that you will misunderstand me, but I still have to do it because I am really doing it for your own good. Instead of my sister making a mistake in the future and being criticized and ridiculed by others, it is better for me to bring it up first."
She stood up, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said in a stubborn tone: "I know you hate me, don't like me, and no matter what I do, you think you have ulterior motives. I don't ask you to look at me and accept me, I just ask you.
Stop fooling around and learn etiquette seriously, otherwise you will make a mistake and make a fool of yourself, which will embarrass the Lu family and even bring shame to Brother Xiuming!"
Hearing this, Lu Xixin turned around and looked at her.
In my heart, I do have some ability to confuse right and wrong.
She ignored Lu Yaqing, walked directly to Gu Xiuming, and asked, "Do you want to leave with me?"
Gu Xiuming was surprised and didn't know how this happened to him.
He just raised his eyes and stared blankly at the bright-eyed girl in front of him, who was as beautiful as the sun.
The Lu Xixin in front of her was completely different from before. She was neither indifferent nor aggressive, but had an elusive charm.
It makes people enter the heart unconsciously and bewildered the eyes.
Somehow, facing such a look, Gu Xiuming seemed to be unable to control himself, and subconsciously followed her blankly.
It wasn't until he walked out of the door and walked to the corridor that he suddenly came back to his senses.
What's going on? Why do you want to follow her?
"Why did you call me out?" He looked at Lu Xixin.
Lu Xixin leaned on the corridor, bent one leg, her posture was casual, but inexplicably beautiful.
"What do you think?" she asked back.
Gu Xiuming was confused, so he listened to her: "Don't you find it boring to listen to Lu Yaqing playing average piano music, listening to her show off her meaningful history of red wine, and her pretentious words?"
Speaking of this, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked directly at Gu Xiuming: "The knowledge we have learned will eventually be immersed in our bones and internalized as our own cultivation, instead of becoming a tool to show off like her.
"
Lu Xixin doesn't like to fight back on minutiae, and also hates boring verbal sparring.
Since someone offends her, just take away what the other person cares about most.
——Don’t Lu Yaqing care about Gu Xiuming? Then take him away!
Lu Xixin lowered her eyes, a cold look flashed in her eyes.
Her eyes were so beautiful, as if they were filled with starlight. Gu Xiuming was completely fascinated. After a while, he nodded: "You're right."
Then when I thought back to Lu Yaqing's showoff before, I suddenly felt it was very tacky.
Gu Xiuming frowned, a flash of displeasure flashing through his heart.
