I became my brother's treasure
Chapter 56
"What kind of relationship can I put your underwear on for you?" Lin Xi said as a matter of course, "You should be a couple. You and your brother are not in a relationship, so it's normal to avoid suspicion."
"However, under what circumstances will people who don't avoid you start to avoid suspicion?" He paused slightly, half-knowingly checking the movie scene in his memory, "Probably because of the appearance of some important people? "
After a series of self-questions and answers, he raised his voice slightly in surprise, and asked in a secretive tone: "Lu Xijia, is your brother looking for a sister-in-law for you?"
Just because of such a fluffy guess, Lu Xijia was so angry that she tossed and turned on the bed for hours, unable to fall asleep.Until midnight, he sat up from the bed with a suffocating stomach, and got up to run water in the bathroom.
But he didn't know whether he was angry with Lin Xi's words, or with the worries and unease in his heart that could not be dispelled for a long time. Two minutes later, he returned to the bed without any sleepiness, licked the dry skin of his lips, grabbed the empty water glass by the bed, opened the door and walked out.
The lights in the corridor have been turned off, Lu Xijia raised her hand and pressed the control switch, and a row of light beams lit up at the end of the line of sight.Holding the water glass, he absent-mindedly walked towards the stairs, but stumbled as he wiped his trouser legs abruptly.
The glass in his hand dropped muffledly on the carpet at his feet, rolled soundlessly towards his side, and finally hit the tightly closed door of the room lightly.Lu Xijia bent down to pick it up, but when she raised her face, she found that the cup had rolled to the front of Lu Yun's study.
He stared at the door for a moment, and the last reasonable inference left by Lin Xi floated up again in his mind. He raised his hand to hold the doorknob in a strange way, and pressed it down gently——
The door lock made a slight sound, and the door slowly opened a gap.
He was a little surprised that the door of the study was not locked, he hesitated for a second, then pushed open the door in front of him without hesitation, raised his hand and turned on the light in the study.
In fact, Lu Xijia didn't know what she wanted to find in the study. Obviously, if it was to overthrow Lin Xi's speculation, it would be more effective to find a way to get Lu Yun's cell phone.However, compared with the former, the possibility of success of the latter is almost zero.
Lu Xijia walked into the study with a sleepy expression, looked around the surrounding furnishings indifferently, and finally fell on the neatly arranged desk by the window.On the position facing the chair is the laptop that the other party often uses, and a few documents are scattered around the computer.
Lu Xijia pulled out the chair and sat down in front of the desk, reached out aimlessly and knocked on the computer in the off state, then symbolically flipped through the stack of documents on the right, and finally when she was about to get up and leave, her elbow bumped suddenly. Ashtray on left hand side.
He raised his hand to push the ashtray to the back of the desk, but he saw the ashtray and cigarette butts in the ashtray from the corner of his eye.Lu Xijia paused slightly, but frowned suspiciously——
Did Lu Yun smoke before?
The memory goes backward frame by frame in my mind.Not to mention that he lived at Lu Yun's house these days, and had never seen the other party smoking, nor had he ever smelled light or strong smell of smoke on the other party.When he was still in Dibao's body, he hadn't even seen a cigarette case in the whole house.
Lu Xijia didn't sleep well that night, and the next morning, even for the first time in the morning, she got up from the bed and ran to ask the housekeeper if there were any guests coming to the house recently, avoiding Lu Yun's sight.The final answer is naturally no.
He was suffocating doubts in his heart, and naturally he couldn't eat or sleep well.And those doubts finally turned into solemnity and worry two days later after seeing the other party smoking with his own eyes.
At that time, it happened that there was an in-class exam arranged in the school at night. Lu Xijia took a taxi back after the exam and searched for snacks. The housekeeper cooked noodles for him.Lu Xijia couldn't finish eating by herself, and wanted to go upstairs to ask Lu Yun to help him eat some, but she couldn't find him in the bedroom.
He came out of the other party's room and saw a glimmer of light coming from the bottom of the study door. Without thinking about it, he reached out to push the door, and shouted excitedly: "Brother."
The back of Lu Yun sitting in front of the desk and having a video conference came into sight. The back of the other party leaned slightly relaxed on the back of the chair, with one hand resting casually on the edge of the table, with a faint fire flickering on the fingertips.
Lu Xijia was stunned for a second, and then saw the other party calmly pressing the half-burned cigarette into the ashtray, then she turned her face to the side and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"
Lu Xijia's lips twitched slightly, and she said dryly, "It's all right", she withdrew from the study with a blank gaze, and closed the door of the study again with the only sliver of consciousness left in her mind.
A second later, he stood in the corridor outside the study door, his face was full of shock, and the wild thoughts in his heart took root and grew crazily in the summer night.So that when he went downstairs to eat noodles, he almost sent the noodles caught between the chopsticks into his nose.
After this night, Lu Xijia was so busy thinking about his brother's smoking every day that he didn't even have much thought to go to the appointments with those wine and meat friends.Finally, after repeated deduction and false evidence, he finally made a depressed and heavy call to Tang Mingri behind his brother's back.
He said cautiously on the phone: "I have something to ask you."
During the short time when Lu Xijia spoke, Tang Mingri's foxy thoughts, which were still unrepentant and cooled down, had already turned back and forth. He pretended to be embarrassed, "But I don't have time now."
Lu Xijia took a step back in time, "It's okay, I have plenty of time, I'll wait for you."
Tang Mingri hissed softly, "You probably don't know how full my schedule is every day, and I don't have any extra time to make phone calls." He changed the subject, "Why don't I leave it to you Come to a dinner time and invite me to dinner."
Lu Xijia didn't doubt that he had him, so she agreed immediately.Even fearing that the other party would regret it at any time, he set the dinner for the evening of the same day without saying a word.
On the pretext of attending a friend's birthday party, he got a verbal permission from Lu Yun not to go home for dinner, and after class in the afternoon, he rushed directly to the restaurant he had made an appointment with Tang Mingri.
The latter had been waiting in the restaurant for a long time. Lu Xijia took off the schoolbag on his back and sat down. He hid the malicious smile on his face at the right time, and reached out and handed the menu to the other party with a smile.
Lu Xijia didn't even look at the menu, but raised her hand impatiently and pushed the menu away, put her hands on the table abruptly, lowered her body and leaned forward slightly, with an unprecedented seriousness on her face, "I have a problem." I want to ask you."
Tang Mingri raised his eyebrows quite unexpectedly, put the menu back on the corner of the table, and waved his hands to keep the waiters at the table away from them, then leaned out his upper body slightly, putting on a solemn and affectionate attitude of listening attentively, and very cooperatively He lowered his voice and said, "Just ask."
Lu Xijia gave him a long look, her tone was pretending to be calm and her face couldn't be easily detected, but it perfectly matched the worry of a 19-year-old boy: "I...is my family going bankrupt?"
"However, under what circumstances will people who don't avoid you start to avoid suspicion?" He paused slightly, half-knowingly checking the movie scene in his memory, "Probably because of the appearance of some important people? "
After a series of self-questions and answers, he raised his voice slightly in surprise, and asked in a secretive tone: "Lu Xijia, is your brother looking for a sister-in-law for you?"
