evildoers

While Xia Chen continued to tidy up the tea table, Professor Lu sat cross-legged on the sofa, counting Xia Chen's winnings.

"I figured it out, you have one thousand and three here." Professor Lu divided the money into three piles: "I lost more than 500, Xu Xu won't lose or win, and Shen Wanyi should have lost more than 700."

Xia Chen let out a "hmm", indicating that he heard it.

"That woman really doesn't know how to settle accounts, she always wanted to drag me into the water, and now she has lost a lot." Professor Lu Zhixu held his chin proudly: "A loss to you and a loss to me are not both losses."

Xia Chen put the full garbage bag aside, put a new bag on the garbage basket, lifted the garbage bag to the door, and started vacuuming the floor with the vacuum cleaner.

Professor Lu is still calculating: "You have won so much money, is there anything you want to buy?"

"No."

"How about you buy a laptop? I'll give you a salary advance."

Xia Chen: "..."

"Why does the teacher insist that I spend the money I win?"

"Because my money is in it, it's uncomfortable to watch."

When Xia Chen pushed open the door of the baby's bedroom, the baby was already fast asleep.

The baby's bedroom has tender green walls, and the wall next to the bed is made of cartoons on the entire wall. The painting is a shop opened by a tiger in the forest. There are many beautiful small lights embedded in the ceiling. The switch is on On the bedside of the baby, if only those lights are turned on in the room, it looks like a starry sky in summer night.

Xia Chen didn't turn on the light, opened the door and walked in lightly, Lu Zhixu followed behind him.

The baby is usually obedient and has a good sleeping appearance. He fell asleep sideways in the quilt, curled up, and wrinkled his face for some reason in his dream.

Lu Zhixu bent down, tucked the corner of the quilt for the baby, and kissed the baby on the forehead.

His skin is fair and his face is pretty, he doesn't look like a father who already has a four-year-old child, but at this moment, the breathing light on the baby's bedside shines on his face, and he kisses the baby with his eyes closed, just like Be a real father.

Xia Chen stood beside him, watching all this quietly.

Xia Chen's face, which hadn't changed even after being picked up by someone, was moved at this moment.

"Is teacher going to bed?" Xia Chen asked Lu Zhixu after coming out of the baby's bedroom.

Lu Zhixu shook his head.

"So, get something to eat?"

"I'm not hungry." Lu Zhixu put his arms behind his neck, sat down on the sofa, closed his eyes and said, "I don't want to sleep either."

Xia Chen didn't say anything more, but just sat down on the sofa.

In such a quiet night, everything was silent, all the lights in the living room were turned off, only the floor lamp next to the sofa was on, Xia Chen's tea was still steaming quietly on the coffee table, Lu Zhixu leaned against the bed Sitting on the armrest of the sofa, she gradually calmed down, and even her breathing became regular.

Xia Chen knew that he was asleep.

This person named Lu Zhixu can always do all kinds of strange things. He seems to have his own unique world and his own set of logic. He is not afraid of being alone. He behaves childishly from time to time. , but occasionally so fierce that even Xia Chen couldn't resist.

However, Xia Chen fell in love with such a person.

Xia Chen still remembers that in the lecture hall of the school, he saw Lu Zhixu on the podium, white and thin, with beautiful eyes hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, dressed like any professor over 30 years old, he was not like other The teacher likes to chat, and just standing there, he already let Xia Chen understand that this man named Lu Zhixu is the person he is looking for.

Or, a little earlier, on a certain night, Xia Chen drove a sports car and took Zhuo Luo to see his school. They pulled the car to the side of the road, turned on the lights, and the two of them sat in the car and smoked.

Then, a man in a suit walked slowly from the end of the road.

He was probably tired, walked very slowly, and looked a little lazy. The bright headlights made him subconsciously raise his arms to block his eyes, and then he continued to walk over.

He is not very tall, a little thin, long-legged, slender waist, pale, with his head down, like a prince in trouble.

At that time, Xia Chen didn't know who he was, and his tutor didn't allow him to jump out of the car at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night to ask a strange man's name.

That was half a year ago.

Xia Chen from half a year ago had never liked anyone, he didn't understand where this feeling came from.He didn't even quite know that this was the fabled like.

Half a year later, he accidentally took an elective class, and then met Lu Zhixu by accident.

Xia Chen still remembered that afternoon, when Lu Zhixu finished class, he was surrounded by a group of students. Xia Chen didn't have the habit of asking questions after class, and couldn't squeeze in, so he stood outside, quietly watching the student who was speaking for others. problematic young professor.

He actually wanted to say with a smile:

"Ha, finally found you."

Xia Chen was brought up by Mr. Li.

He has read poetry, seen the Red Mansion, and even though he wandered around in sensual places like any young man in the Xia family, he is still a Chinese-style gentleman in his bones.Although he was made of copper skin and iron bones by a big dye vat like the Xia family, he is not a bad person.

He is just good at using means.

He knew from a young age that nothing is inherently yours. If you want it, you have to fight for it yourself, whether you cheat or grab it, as long as you get it, the rest is not important.

He knew since he was a child that a person must be capable in order to protect what he owns. The world is too dangerous, and only capable people are qualified to set the rules of the game. He does not want to subvert the whole world, but only wants to protect the people he cares about.

He knew from a young age that the most precious thing in this world is not money or fame, but the person you love. There are many kinds of money and reputations in this world, but there is only one person you love.You never know what will happen in the next second, air crash, car accident, fire... the most important thing is to live in the present moment.

He is Xia Chen.

He likes a person named Lu Zhixu, even though he is domineering and mean-spirited.Even if he behaved grotesquely and alienated from people.Even if he likes to wander around the house late at night looking for food, even if he is not considerate and ignorant of the world, but because that person is Lu Zhixu, it doesn't matter.

What Xia Chen likes is that person named Lu Zhixu.
