The taxi passed by in the dark night, and the old trees beside the street left afterimages on the window glass.Lu Xijia looked down at the lock screen of her mobile phone, the number on the time had jumped to eleven o'clock, but there was still no movement on the mobile phone, no text messages or calls.

This seemed to be somewhat different from the scene he had imagined. The calmness and restraint in Lu Xijia's eyes finally disappeared, replaced by an increasingly intense anxiety and uneasiness.

Maybe Lu Yun hadn't come home yet at this time, it wasn't because he didn't come home on time within the stipulated time, and he decided to let him go.While Lu Xijia was thinking wildly, there was still a trace of fantasy in her heart.After all, he had asked the housekeeper before dinner, and the other party did have work entertainment tonight.

The taxi slid into the low-key and luxurious villa area without hindrance, and Lu Xijia paid and got off the car neatly, unaware of the slight anxiety in her behavior.

The moon and stars are sparse in the night sky overhead, the crickets hide in the grass and flower beds and call tirelessly, and the street lamps cast a single halo of light on the gravel-paved road.Lu Xijia slowly opened the door and walked in. After entering the courtyard, she could see bright lights in the villa from a distance.

Lu Xijia stopped at the spot a little dejectedly, and the last trace of luck in her heart disappeared.The butler is an elderly member of the older generation. Even though he lives a carefree life now, the habit of frugality has followed him for most of his life.When Lu Yun is not at home at night, the housekeeper will not turn on all the lights in the house.

He was expecting a little too much.Lu Xijia finally realized belatedly that the actions she made tonight were too risky.What will be waiting when he opens the door and goes in?Lu Yun's cold and displeased face, or any actual punishment?

If he is a little careless, it is even possible that all his hard work during this period of time will be in vain.Everything came back to the original point, Lu Yun's apparent change of attitude towards him was just a daydream?

He clicked his tongue irritably and annoyedly, stepped up the steps absent-mindedly, raised his thumb and pressed it into the fingerprint collection slot on the door lock.However, the usual short passing sound did not appear, but a sharp and long warning sound was suddenly caught in the ears.

Lu Xijia's eyelids trembled slightly, and she raised her head blankly, as if she suspected that something was wrong with her ears, and pulled the handle on the door behind her——

The door in front of him remained motionless, tightly embedded in the door frame.

Lu Xijia's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley, it was clear that she was in the hot summer evening wind, but the back was densely chilled, and it was like an ice cellar in an instant.

He was locked out?This extremely clear cognition rushed around in his brain.Lu Xijia tightly pursed her lips, while enduring the surging anger, she raised her thumb again to press the fingerprint frame, and the sharp and long warning sound cut through the silence under the night sky again.

The bluffing anger was swallowed up by the panic that had been waiting for a long time. Lu Xijia stared at the door in front of her, and her mind went blank for three seconds.He stood on the steps in front of the door, lowered his eyes as if evading, but caught a glimpse of himself being slightly shaken by the shadow cast on the ground by the light on the edge of the eaves.

Lu Xijia blinked her eyes lightly, her gaze slowly moved up along the shadow, and finally landed on his slightly trembling hands hanging by his side.As if seeing something incredible, his pupils widened silently, and the precarious line of defense finally collapsed.Something more terrifying than closure and darkness built up high waves, hitting him overwhelmingly.

The next second, the door made a slight clicking sound, and Lu Yun's deep and cold voice split the waves into his ears, "Why didn't you come in while standing outside the door? Didn't think of a suitable excuse?"

Lu Xijia silently raised her head to look at him, the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

Lu Yun glanced at him in surprise, stretched out his hand to pull him into the door, and lowered his eyes to help him find home slippers, "You just stood outside the door and wept without thinking of a good excuse?"

"Since you know that you will anger me if you don't come back on time at night, why do you do it knowingly?" He placed the slippers at Lu Xijia's feet, and reminded him softly, "Take off your shoes."

Lu Xijia hung her head and didn't know what she was thinking, as if she didn't hear what he said.

Lu Yun frowned and squatted down, reaching out to untie the laces of Lu Xijia's sneakers.Halfway through the solution, he suddenly realized what he was doing, and his hands paused slightly.Two seconds later, calmly suppressing the dazed look in his eyes, he tore off the slipknot on Lu Xijia's shoes, and then stood up with a normal expression, "It's better to come and cry in front of me than to stand outside the door and cry secretly."

"After all, the second option is more likely to calm me down." He looked at the young boy in front of him, who was completely different from his unlovable brother in his impression, and frowned again.

Lu Xijia raised her eyes in astonishment, but they fell into Lu Yun's bottomless pupils.All other emotions disappeared in an instant, leaving only the tension in my heart with nowhere to rest my hands and feet.

In the next second, he clearly heard the man in front of him sigh, "Why are you so stupid?"

He froze on the spot, a faint grievance welling up in his heart for no reason.The emotion ran around in his chest, getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and getting stronger and stronger.

In the ten years since returning to Lu's house, he has never experienced any kind of emotion.I have been happy, angry, proud, and hated, but I have never tasted the feeling of being wronged.No one in the Lu family will let him be wronged.He once thought that he only had anger and indifference towards Lu Yun.But now, he feels wronged——

It's even unbearable to feel wronged.

"I can't open it." With indescribable stubbornness, he unreservedly revealed his loss and frustration in front of Lu Yun, "I can't open the door."

"Why can't it be opened?" Lu Yun pulled him out of the door, raised his hand to close the door in front of him, and turned his face to signal him, "Try it now."

Lu Xijia was silent for a second, raised her thumb and pressed it on the fingerprint lock.The wrong warning sound sounded without any surprise. He pursed his lips and looked at the man beside him without saying a word.

The other party's expression remained unchanged, and he only reminded him in a flat tone: "Think about it again, which finger it is."

Lu Xijia was stunned for a second, then subconsciously opened her mouth.In the end, he didn't say anything, just changed his index finger taciturnly, and pressed it lightly against the fingerprint groove.The short door opening sound in my memory came as expected, and a bright embarrassment flashed across Lu Xijia's face.

Lu Yun turned a blind eye to it, turned on the fingerprint entry system without looking sideways, held his wrist up, and pressed the remaining nine fingers on his left and right hands in the fingerprint slot one by one.

Reminders that the fingerprints were successfully entered exploded in his ears one after another. Lu Yun let go of his hand and looked at him calmly, "Okay. From now on, there will be no more cases where the door cannot be opened."

At the end, the man withdrew his eyes and raised the corners of his lips as if sighing, "It's really stupid."
