As time went by, the hall returned to deserted from the noise, Lu Cai sat on the small unremarkable sofa, holding a bottle of Coke in his hand.

Xiao Yuan saw Lu Cai as soon as he spoke. The young man raised his delicate chin and was sipping soda, his amber eyes narrowed slightly.

Drinking water looks like a kitten being fed.

Lu Cai put down the cola, his eyes were wandering, and when he was thinking wildly, he suddenly found Xiao Yuanxu not far away.

"Mr. Xiao." He staggered and stood up straight.

Xiao Yuanxu walked over and asked, "Have you eaten yet? Why are you sitting here?"

The tone of the speech was gentle, as usual, and Lu Cai could control his depression just now, but after being so cared for, his heart was full of sourness.

Lu Cai lowered his head and said softly, "I can't eat it."

He noticed that Xiao Yuanxu was well dressed, his blazer was more eye-catching than usual, decorated with a gorgeous jewel brooch.

Because Xiao Yuanxu is very low-key, he dresses casually at home, occasionally has a few video conferences during the Chinese New Year, and wears business suits, not fancy at all, so Lu Cai is not used to it at first glance.

"Did something happen?"

Lu Cai was taken aback by the question, and thought that Xiao Yuanxu must have the ability to read minds.

He turned his face away and said, "Why didn't you mention it before, the way I walk is funny?"

Xiao Yuan said: "Funny?"

"That's right, they said I'm a penguin!" Lu Cai said, "I adjusted it a bit, and some people said that I was even more awkward, as if I had been slept with."

Gritting his teeth and saying this, he became more and more aggrieved: "What do you mean by being slept on? If there are more people lying on the bed, can walking be different?"

Xiao Yuanxu's expression was complicated, and he smiled helplessly: "Your voice should be quieter."

"Oh." Lu Cai obediently misfired.

"I've never laughed at you, and I really don't think it's funny." Xiao Yuan said.

Lu Cai's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Xiao Yuan said solemnly: "That's right, aren't penguins cute? I planned to go to Antarctica to find them."

The mermaid thinks that human beings are bad embryos, and she doesn't want to play with Xiao Yuanxu anymore, so she turns around and leaves with a sullen face.

"Wait." Xiao Yuanxu blocked his way, "I haven't eaten, do you want to come together?"

Lu Cai is half a head shorter than Xiao Yuanxu, as slender as a budding flower, knowing that he is not an opponent, and will not resist when blocked.

"We penguins don't eat human food." He gave himself a little backbone.

Xiao Yuanxu looked at him indifferently, then smiled suddenly, and said, "Let's go, humans invite penguins to eat fish."

Dinner was eaten in an old alley nearby. The restaurant was once a filming location for a certain movie, and the decoration is quite retro.

The record player was equipped with vinyl discs, and the Chinese-style furniture was equipped with stained glass windows. After the boss learned that Xiao Yuanxu was coming, he cleared the venue one after another and stopped accepting guests. The entire second floor was vacated to entertain the two of them.

The store cooks Subang dishes, and the signature is called squirrel mandarin fish.Under the skillful knife skills of the master chef, deep-fried and steamed with marinade, the mouth is crispy and tender.

Lu Cai ate half of it in one go. He was still struggling with whether he belonged to a human or a fish, but now it's all right. If he wants to be a fish, he probably wouldn't even dare to recognize it.

In the middle of the journey, his hand holding the chopsticks was unsteady, and he dropped a small piece of fish on his clothes. The light-colored jacket was stained with sauce, so he simply took it off and hung it on the back of the chair.

Until he was sixty percent full, he called the waiter to bring a bowl of white rice, and after waiting for 2 minutes, the boss who was over [-] years old actually brought it up himself.

Lu Cai hurried to the stairs, took the bowl and slapped the boss.

The boss asked him kindly: "I'm still a child who is about to grow up, why do I only eat one bowl of rice?"

Xiao Yuan said: "Grandpa, he has a conflict with me, his stomach is full of anger, and he probably won't be able to hold on anymore."

Mentioning the reason for this contradiction, Lu Cai's heart skipped a beat, and he was concerned about whether his footsteps were messy or ridiculous.

The other two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after the boss left, Xiao Yuanxu saw that Lu Cai was still preoccupied, so he got up and walked to his seat.

"You're just not relaxed enough, the more tense your body is, the weirder you look." Xiao Yuan said, "Can you dance?"

Lu Cai shook his head blankly, then was led by Xiao Yuanxu to stand up, took off the well-designed coat and motioned for himself to put it on.

"When you wear a formal dress, you have to be a gentleman." Xiao Yuan said, "You shouldn't be dejected, show some grace."

Hearing this, Lu Cai couldn't help straightening his back.

Xiao Yuanxu clasped his slender fingers and said as if retreating: "You put your left foot first."

Lu Cai tentatively took half a step, Xiao Yuanxu was a very good dance partner, even if the other party's level was poor, he could cooperate with him tacitly, and danced three slow beats in sync with him.

"Then are you a lady?" Lu Cai remembered that the waltz was divided into male and female steps.

Xiao Yuanxu refused to be blindly taken advantage of: "Take turns."

After speaking, he guided Lu Cai to turn around.

After Lu Cai separated his legs, he sat and walked, almost did not trot, let alone rotated.It came suddenly, but he felt extremely light.

Xiao Yuan said: "Don't think about your feet, just close your eyes and listen to music."

The record player played a leisurely tune, the rhythm was smooth and relaxed.Lu Cai felt that Xiao Yuanxu seemed to have magical powers, and he should be in a hurry, but at the moment he completely put the burden behind him.

I closed my eyes, my legs lost the heaviness in the music, and I could only follow the rhythm instinctively.

"Don't be nervous about your knees, just jump, don't worry about stepping on me." Xiao Yuan said, "There is no need to hesitate when you step out."

This is not an orderly tone, but Lu Cai feels controlled.

Xiao Yuanxu led him around a few more times, and the last one vacated briefly.

The warm and strong hands put him back to the ground steadily, and Lu Cai opened his eyes amidst the rapid heartbeat, but instead of being afraid, he became more brisk.

Xiao Yuan said: "The operation of transforming the penguin into a human is completed, let's pay the medical bill."

Lu Cai asked along, "How much is Dr. Xiao's surgery?"

"You look at it?" Xiao Yuanxu continued.

Lu Cai cheated: "Then I'll give you a laugh!"

Following the feeling of dancing, he took a few steps forward, then turned his head and smiled brightly at Xiao Yuanxu, revealing his white and neat teeth and small dimples.

"I have to make up lessons tonight, it's time to go back." Lu Cai jumped up and down, "Bye bye Mr. Xiao."

At the entrance of the alley, there were farewell couples who blew kisses to each other. He didn't know why, but he loved to follow suit. With his fingertips on the corners of his soft lips, he blew a kiss to Xiao Yuanxu as well.

Half-hearted for a while, Lu Cai even forgot to return the suit, leaving his dirty coat hanging in the shop.

Xiao Yuanxu leaned against the door of the shop and smoked, watching Lu Cai's figure disappear from the alley, he took all these into his eyes but didn't remind him.

The phone in his pocket rang, and Xiao Yuanxu took it out to see that it was a certain socialite attending the ball.

"Aren't you coming? I scanned around and didn't see you."

After finishing speaking in a soft voice, the famous lady said regretfully, "For tonight's party, I ate grass for two months just to put on this dress. I thought I could invite you to the first dance."

Xiao Yuanxu originally planned to go to the meeting, but now he felt a little bored, but his attitude did not show the slightest bit of impatience.

"Sorry, I have something to do suddenly." Xiao Yuan said, "I shouldn't be here."

The famous lady asked: "What's the matter, do you need help? It happens that my father is also here."

Xiao Yuanxu said politely: "It's a small matter, the coat was changed away."

Lu Cai was already stunning in appearance, and she looked even more eye-catching when she wore slightly high-profile clothes. After walking all the way back, I don't know how high the rate of turning heads will be.

Beautiful things are always cherished, Xiao Yuanxu thinks it is worthwhile to exchange a boring dance party for a bright picture.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Cai suddenly realized that he had taken away the man's coat, and timidly called to apologize.

If he knew how much the brooch was worth, he might have sent it back to Xiao Yuanxu's home overnight, but unfortunately Xiao Yuanxu didn't mention these details.

Lu Cai said: "At 06:30 tomorrow afternoon, behind the door of the fire exit on the eighth floor, I will give you the clothes when no one is around."

Xiao Yuanxu was speechless: "Are we conducting some shady transaction? The location needs to be so hidden?"

Lu Caidao: "Everyone is gossip. If we find out that we know each other, I may not know how to arrange you. I am thinking of your innocence."

It was the first time that Xiao Yuanxu was taken care of by others, he was shocked, and he choked out a "thank you" for a long time.

After that dance, Lu Cai blended into humans one step closer. As long as the speed is not too fast, the appearance of walking looks the same as that of ordinary people.

In the morning, he put Xiao Yuanxu's clothes into his schoolbag and took them to the classroom together.

During the etiquette class, the trainee sitting behind him was deserting, and found that his schoolbag was bulging than usual, and asked what was in it.

This is the person who first called Lu Cai "little illiterate". Lu Cai didn't want to answer, so he said something perfunctory about clothes.

"What kind of clothes, why did you bring them here?" the trainee asked.

Lu Cai didn't have any malice, and simply asked in confusion, "What's none of your business?"

The trainee was speechless, but Lu Cai quickly shifted his attention, writing notes in crooked fonts.

His hair is so long that it can be tied into a small braid, and when it falls down, it weakens the heroic spirit of the facial features, and certain angles have a somewhat indistinguishable beauty.

At this moment, he was attending class with his head bowed, his hair loosely revealing a section of the back of his fair neck, and the light shone on it, making it so delicate and shiny.

The trainee was itching to see it, and kicked Lu Cai's schoolbag for nothing.

With 5 minutes left to finish class, Lu Cai didn't want to cause trouble, so after he endured it, he didn't expect to be kicked by his schoolbag again.

The action is not heavy, but it can't be ignored.

"Little illiterate, why are you taking this class so seriously? The teacher doesn't care about discipline."

The trainee had a hippie smile, leaned forward to talk to him, and brushed his hair.

Lu Cai moved the chair forward to put some distance away from him, and then the trainee pushed the desk over, and the desks and chairs of the two of them joined together again.

After repeating this several times, when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, they were still tossing about childishly, and no one was willing to stop first.

The girl next to him asked, "What are you doing? Are you elementary school students?"

"Little illiterate hid a piece of clothing." The trainee said sourly, "It can't be women's clothing, right? Which girl forgot it in your room last night?"

Lu Cai said: "Don't be kidding!"

The more he reacted, the more the trainees wanted to find out, and even used the aggressive method.

"Don't be embarrassed, a man has to be brave! What can't be said directly? If someone throws his clothes here, his innocence will be gone! You look like a scumbag!"

The trainee wanted to grab the schoolbag, but failed.Lu adopted his schoolbag tightly, and moved the desk a lot forward, almost sitting at the door of the classroom.

He broke the can and said, "What's wrong with me being a scumbag?"

The corner of the table knocked against the thinly opened door panel, making a "bang" collision sound.

Lu Cai subconsciously apologized, and when he looked up to see his immediate boss, he was so shocked that the fish's tail was about to be exposed.

The agreed time of 06:30 was already past, and Xiao Yuanxu was released as a pigeon for a quarter of an hour. I was worried, so I came here to have a look.

Lu Cai guessed this, and remembering the fight with the trainees just now, he was so guilty as if he had done something terrible.

He was afraid that Xiao Yuanxu would get angry, so he fluttered his eyelashes a few times, not daring to speak casually.

And Xiao Yuanxu found it interesting, and then said in a volume that could only be heard clearly by each other, "Return my innocence, scumbag."
