Wen Jiu went up to the rooftop and found a corner sheltered from the wind.
She took out a lighter and wanted to burn the two booklets.
But she pressed it for a long time, but no fire came out.
Wen Jiu looked at the things in his hands doubtfully.
None of her family smoked, and it took her a long time to find this lighter.
My mother bought it many years ago and planned to light candles when the power went out, but as long as she could remember, the power had never gone out.
Will this thing also expire?
Just when she didn't know what to do, Lu Jing's voice suddenly came from above her: "Do you want to light a fire?"
Wen Jiu was stunned, raised her head and looked at Lu Jing: "Yes."
"That's not how it works. Let me help you."
Lu Jing also knelt down and took the lighter from her hand.
This kind of lighter has two protective devices to prevent children from playing randomly. Only by opening both of them can it light a fire.
Wen Jiu looked at the small flames that appeared in surprise: "You are so awesome. I never see you smoking. How come you are so good at using a lighter?"
Lu Jing replied calmly: "Quit."
Wen Jiu seemed to have never seen him smoking since she met him, so she casually asked: "When did you quit?"
"Ten years ago."
"Oh...ah?" Wen Jiu looked at him in disbelief, "You are smoking at such a young age? Why? Is it because being the heir to the Lu family is stressful?"
Ten years ago, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, right? If he quit smoking at that time, wouldn't it mean that he started smoking earlier?
Lu Jing looked at her through the firelight. From her expression, you could tell that she had a hard time believing it.
But what he said is true.
Ten years ago, he skipped school, smoked, and got into fights. He did the same things bad students did.
But because of her, he got rid of all his bad habits.
This story is too long to tell.
It's not a nice story either.
"I will tell you slowly later."
Lu Jing did not reply to her question. He lowered his head and looked at the two books on the ground: "Is this something from your student days?"
Wen Jiu also lowered her head: "Yeah."
"You said on the show that there are many people who love you in this life, so don't be obsessed with the people who hurt you." Lu Jing looked at her side face quietly and asked tentatively, "Now you have to say goodbye to the people who hurt you in the past.
?”
Wen Jiu smiled: "Yes."
She didn't know why she was so willing to open her heart to Lu Jing.
She lit the two books.
Soon, the flames jumped up.
Lu Jing glanced sideways at her, she didn't speak, her eyes were filled with firelight, as if there were vast stars inside, making him fall deeply into it.
He knew that she had suffered for many years for a man who disliked her for being ugly.
But Lu Jing never, ever thought she was ugly.
At the age of sixteen, she was like clouds, like marshmallows, pure and sweet.
At the age of twenty-six, she is as dazzling as the stars.
When the two booklets were burned clean, Lu Jing suddenly had the urge to confess: "Did you know that there are people who love you silently on the road?"
Wen Jiu raised her eyes, her eyes full of mature and firm charm: "I know, my parents."
Lu Jing nodded silently.
In fact, there is still me.
He really wanted to tell her this.
I also wanted to tell her that he didn't pass by the airport at all last night.
He just went to pick her up.
As long as she comes back, no matter how late it is, he will pick her up.
Because he has liked her for many, many years.
But...she broke their agreement back then, and now she doesn't even remember that he existed.
He worried that everything he did was just wishful thinking.
I am also worried that if I say it out loud, it will cause trouble to her.
So just wait.
When he could feel that... even if she had a little bit of affection for him, he would run towards her desperately.
Wen Jiu took out the plastic bag she had brought before and put all the burned ashes in it.
She stood up calmly and said to Lu Jing, "It's very late. Let's go home and sleep."
Lu Dingding nodded and stood up.
He followed Wen Jiu and looked closely at her thin, white shoulders, slender waist, and two straight and slender legs...
Lu Jing quickly looked away, his throat tightening uncontrollably.
He forced himself to calm down quickly.
Wow wow wow, she was so beautiful in a short skirt, so beautiful that he didn't dare to look at her too much!
If you read too much, you will think wrongly, and you will have to embark on the path of breaking the law and committing crimes.
In the future, if he is lucky enough to marry her home, he will definitely buy a closet of short skirts like this and let her wear them for him every day!
…
Lu Jing also knew that he could not stay in the Wen family for any longer.
Otherwise, Wen Jiu would definitely know that he was not here to work hard.
So, he got up early the next morning and planned to really investigate.
When he came out of the room, Wen Hua was making breakfast in the kitchen.
We have a day off in Wenhua today, so we don’t have to go to the hotel anymore.
When he heard the noise, he turned around and saw it was Lu Jing. He said with a smile: "Xiaojiu and her mother both like to stay in bed. Let's have breakfast first."
Lu Jing walked into the kitchen to help, just in time to talk about other things while Wen Jiu wasn't awake.
"Uncle, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter?"
Lu Jing took out a card and handed it to Wen Hua.
He had a long chat with Wen Hua last night and already knew how much Wen Hua owed, so he transferred the amount to this card.
"You pay back the money you owe to the bank, and then tell Xiaojiu that the buddy who defrauded you of the money found out and paid it back for you."
Wen Hua hurriedly refused: "That's not possible! How can I ask for your money! I know it's not easy for you young people..."
Lu Jing advised: "It's easy for me. It's the hardest for Xiaojiu. She still has a mortgage to repay, but I don't. You don't want to see your daughter not eating well or sleeping well every day, worrying about money as soon as she opens her eyes, right?"
Wen Hua insisted: "Then I can't ask for your money! If you keep doing this, I'll get angry with you!"
Lu Jing was not good at persuading people. He held it in for a long time and finally said: "We are brothers, so don't be polite to me."
After saying that, he howled in his heart:
Senior sister, I'm sorry!
I really don’t want to take advantage of you and be brothers with your father!
If I didn't say that, your father wouldn't be willing to accept this money.
When Wen Hua heard this, his eyes slowly changed from shocked to moved.
The way Lu Jing thought about him was very similar to the way he used to help his brothers!
Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by a brother, and God gave him a more loyal brother!
Wen Hua was no longer a mother-in-law. She took the card and patted Lu Jing's shoulder heavily: "Hey, I really don't recognize you as my brother in vain! I know how much I love my niece!"
"..." That's okay.
Just be willing to use it to pay off the debt so that Wen Jiu won't have to work so hard.
Wen Hua was not someone who took advantage of others. He took the initiative to write an IOU to Lu Jing, and after he finished writing it, he forced it on Lu Jing.
"After I pay back the money to the bank and lift the ban, I can start the factory again! I will make money quickly then, and I will pay you back when I have saved enough!"
Lu Jing said unconcernedly: "Let's talk about it then."
Maybe by the time they save enough money, he will already be his son-in-law.
That family doesn't need to be so polite.
After breakfast, Lu Jing planned to leave.
Wen Hua walked him to the door and waved warmly: "Goodbye, brother!"
Lu Jing could only express: "...Goodbye, brother."
Hey, I really didn’t expect that after this trip, my relationship with my senior sister still hasn’t made any progress...
