evildoers

The Li family's rules are very good, they all get up around seven o'clock, when Xia Chen got up, there was already a gardener standing in the garden pruning flower branches.The wound on his back was swollen after applying medicine, but it was just aching.He wore a light blue pullover sweater and went downstairs.

The butler stood in the living room wearing a rigid suit and put the flowers sent by the gardener in the morning into a vase. He was an old man of the Li family, and he was the most well-behaved. Hearing the footsteps, he turned around, nodded and smiled, saying: "morning."

"morning."

Xia Chen replied, and walked down the stairs slowly.

"Mr. Xu is waiting for you in the garden."

Xia Chen frowned: "Mr. Xu?"

The butler just bowed his head respectfully and didn't speak any more.

Xia Chen didn't ask again - he had already guessed who that Mr. Xu was.

In the garden in the early morning, the air is icy cold, taking a breath, even the lungs will be frozen through.

The air is filled with stagnant floral fragrance, and the huge roses are like trees. The roses planted in the garden of Li Zhai are all precious varieties brought over from Europe by air. Xu Xu stands behind a purple rose, wearing a A loose white shirt, as slender as bamboo.

He is usually very decadent, like a 30-year-old man that can be seen everywhere.

But he is Xu Xu after all.

Xia Chen didn't see him at his best, but Lu Zhixu saw it with his own eyes.

In the summer vacation of Xu Xu’s junior year, he was selected as a student of R University to participate in the 514 Project. He taught Lu Zhixu astrophysics on the coffee table in the living room, used pencils to draw him the formation of the universe, and taught him Newton’s second law...

Unlike those so-called "experts" who use cloudy words to fool others, a real expert, a person who has really mastered a subject, can explain it to you in the simplest language.

At that time, Xu Xu's eyebrows were beaming, and he said to Lu Zhixu, "Little Yao, you don't know how beautiful physics is! I finally found what I want to do in my life! We are really standing on the shoulders of predecessors, we can making history..."

That kind of Xu Xu is so dazzling that people can't look directly at him.

However, at this time everything is over.

"Morning, Xia Chen."

Xu Xu turned around, still with that warm smile on his face, he seemed to always smile like this, warm and kind, harmless to humans and animals.

"morning."

Xia Chen walked to Xu Xu's side.

"Is your back okay?" Xu Xu asked.

Xia Chen was not surprised, Xu Xu stayed in this house, and news from the Li family always spread quickly, even if he didn't see Xia Chen being beaten with his own eyes, he should have heard about it from others.

"much better."

Xu Xu stopped talking, and stood there quietly. He was wearing very thin clothes, just a white shirt. Xia Chen saw that even his lips were white.

Speaking of which, the IQ of this person named Xu Xu is probably higher than that of Lin Youqi.

No one knows why he is willing to be trapped in this big villa.

No one could tell clearly whether it was Li Zhurong who trapped him, or he trapped Li Zhurong.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon when Xia Chen returned to Lu's house.

Li Zhurong is a person who protects his weaknesses. His own family members made mistakes, but he wants to blame others. Thousands of mistakes are the faults of other people, so now he is going to find trouble with Lu Zhixu.

Of course, it's not that he didn't think about tying Xia Chen up and staying in Li's house.

It's just that he needs to worry about someone.

Besides Prince Zheng and Prince Li, there is also Xia Zhifei.

Xia Zhifei doesn't need an exaggerated title, and won't be ridiculed by anyone as a prince.

He and Xia Zhifei both value Xia Chen, but their methods are different.

Li Zhurong is like a gardener, he has to trim Xia Chen from time to time, but Xia Zhifei is like a big tree growing beside Xia Chen, who only gives proper protection at the right time. As for what Xia Chen looks like, he I won't care.

For this, Li Zhurong was actually unhappy: Xia Chen grew up according to Xia Zhifei's appearance. He has been pruning and pruning for so many years but has not seen any results, and he still looks like a gentleman—of course, if He knew how Xia Chen got Lu Zhixu, so maybe he wouldn't think so.

What made him most unhappy was the matter of Xia Chen and Lu Zhixu.

He blamed this on Xia Zhifei as well.

Unfortunately, even if he blamed him, he couldn't do anything to Xia Zhifei.

At noon, the Lu family was depressed.

Xia Chen was in a hurry when he left, there was no food prepared at home, the baby got up at eight o'clock, and he couldn't find his father, so he found some biscuits in the kitchen and ate them.

Lu Zhixu didn't sleep until midnight last night after studying. After sleeping until noon, he woke up hungry and got up to look for something to eat. He found a pile of biscuits and took a few mouthfuls with some milk. He didn't feel good and was very upset After sitting on the sofa for a while, he decided to harass Lin Youqi.

Professor Lin was making up for the lack of sleep these days, sleeping soundly on Xia Chen's bed, and Lu Zhixu was about to wake him up to starve together, when a baby's cheers came from downstairs, he came down and saw that it was Xia Chen came back.

He stood on the stairs, trying his best to look indifferent, but in the end he just said with a stiff expression, "You're back?"

Xia Chen touched the baby's head on his lap, and smiled at Lu Zhixu.

While Xia Chen was making lunch, Lu Zhixu sat on the sofa for a while, and finally walked to the dining room, standing at the kitchen door and watching him quietly.

Although he was wearing an apron, the young man's figure was always tall and straight, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like he was being crushed...

Xia Chen stood in front of the counter, skillfully cutting green beans, turned his head to see him, and immediately smiled: "Teacher, what are you looking at..."

"Excuse me."

Professor Lin, who was wearing a shirt that had been worn for at least four days, pushed Lu Zhixu away, went into the kitchen, dug out a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, and walked out while drinking.

When passing by Lu Zhixu, he tugged at the hem of the latter's clothes and said softly, "Come out with me."

Lu Zhixu impatiently followed him to the living room.

"Are you blind?" Lin Youxi lowered his voice, with a look of hatred on his face: "Xia Chen has injuries on his body, you can't see it? And let him cook."

Lu Zhixu pouted, with a look of disapproval: "I'm not a medical student, so I can't tell."

After saying this, he left Professor Lin who still wanted to talk, and continued to stand by the kitchen door.

Xia Chen had already cut the green beans and put the chicken legs in cold water to defrost. Lu Zhixu looked at him and suddenly said, "I don't want to eat chicken legs."

Xia Chen's movements paused.

"How about braised carp?"

"I don't like eating carp either."

Professor Lu turned his face away, looked at the door of the dining room, and said with a little embarrassment but tried his best to pretend to be casual: "I just want to eat green beans and cabbage, no soup, just cut some sauerkraut!"

Xia Chen put down the kitchen knife, looked at Lu Zhixu, and immediately knew what he was thinking.

So he rolled his eyes with a smile: "This order is less..."

"Let Lin Youxi do the rest. If he comes to eat, he should cook." Professor Lu said righteously.

Empress Dowager Lin was lying sprawled on the sofa, not knowing that her lunch had come to naught.

Xia Chen laughed.

He walked towards Lu Zhixu, and hugged this professor who likes to beat around the bush gently but resolutely. Because of his action, the latter reflexively remembered the "knowledge" he made up last night, and immediately exploded: " what are you doing!"

Xia Chen grabbed his hands that were trying to resist, and skillfully pressed him against the kitchen door. Before Professor Lu protested loudly, he squeezed his knee between his legs with a little threat.

Professor Lu gasped, then fell silent, and looked at him fiercely.

Under his guarded eyes, Xia Chen turned his head and kissed the corner of his lips.

His voice was very gentle, as if he was holding precious porcelain, and he was afraid that it would break if he was not careful.

He said: "Teacher, what should I do... I seem to like you more and more."

This Saturday, the Lu family's lunch is quite rich.

After dinner, Professor Lin dragged Lu Zhixu to wash the dishes, Xia Chen was dragged by the baby to see the taller roses, and made a phone call by the way.

It was snowing in city B, and there was a howling north wind outside. Xia Zhifei answered the phone outside.

"Second uncle."

"Well," Xia Zhifei responded, and said, "Li Zhurong started to check on your teacher last night. It was just to check, and didn't send anyone to him."

"He is still trying to see if there are others around the teacher who are protecting him."

"It's good that you know." Xia Zhifei said lightly: "Be calm, don't get confused, Li Zhurong knows you better than others, don't try to play tricks with him, you will be easily taken advantage of by him."

"I know."

"Have you seen that person named Xu Xu?" Xia Zhifei seemed to be flipping something: "He has been under house arrest by Li Zhurong. Don't underestimate his role."

Xia Chen let out a "hmm" and didn't answer any more.

He was not going to use Xu Xu.

He just wanted to protect Lu Zhixu and didn't want to harm others.

For a person like Li Zhurong, if he finds that he has a weakness that will be threatened by others, he will make that weakness disappear completely.

What's more, Xu Xu will not stay long in Li's house.
