The shadow of the tree swayed, casting Xi Wang's silent figure on the ground.

She didn't respond to Xi Ji's words, and the little girl in sight had already run away after the big golden retriever.

Xi Ji looked at Xi Wang, smiled and shook his head.

He has said everything that should be said, and he has given everything that should be given to Xi Wang, so he stood up on crutches.

Xi Ji: "Okay, it's getting late, I should go."

Xi Ji walked out of the main house with the help of Xi Wang, and Ah Fu was running back picking up the ball thrown by Lu Ming.

The dog was very happy to play, and even when he saw his master coming out, he held the ball and leaned beside Lu Ming to let her throw it out for him.

"Ah Fu." Xi Ji called out.

Lu Ming was about to throw the ball, but after hearing Xi Ji's call, he withdrew his hand in Ah Fu's expectant sight.

She rubbed the happily playing dog in front of her, and reminded: "Ah Fu, we should go back."

When Ah Fu heard Luming's words, he drooped his tail immediately.It looked at Xi Ji, stood where it was, no matter how Luming greeted it, it would not follow back.

This made it difficult for the little girl.

Lu Ming looked at Xi Ji and Xi Wang who were waiting for them not far away, and couldn't help becoming anxious and nervous.

"Ah Fu!" Xi Ji tapped the crutch in his hand, and his voice became more severe.

Ah Fu seemed to be a little shaken, and took two steps forward with a sweep of his tail, but he also got close to Lu Ming and stopped moving.

It likes Luming very much, knowing that it will separate from the little girl if it follows it back like this, so it refuses to leave.

Xi Wang was not in the mood to wait for someone to persuade Ah Fu to come over. He was about to raise his hand to signal the servant to put Ah Fu on a leash when he heard Lu Ming's voice.

"Let's go, Ah Fu doesn't want to go home?" Lu Ming bent down slightly, his little hand passed through Ah Fu's soft golden hair, "Grandfather is old, don't let him sunbathe. Let's play again next time ?”

The little girl's voice was much brighter and softer than usual.

Her bright eyes finally let go of cowardice and caution, and put on a little calmness.

Xi Wang raised his hand and put it down again. In his sight, Ah Fu wagged his tail and walked over slowly.

"Our little deer has this kind of talent, what a good boy." Xi Ji looked at Ah Fu who came to him, and praised him.

Lu Ming was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's Ah Fu who is smart, and he will come over as soon as he mentions grandpa."

"Okay, grandpa is leaving, I'll come to see you next time." Xi Ji stretched out his hand and rubbed Lu Ming's head again as he said that, the little girl was sweating from running, and the old man's palm was wet with sweat. .

"Goodbye, great grandfather." Lu Ming nodded, and beckoned to Xi Ji obediently.

Xi Ji got into the car happily, glanced at Xi Wang who was standing aside, and waved to her to come over.

Seeing this, Xi Wang walked over, she turned slightly sideways, and put her ear close to it, so that Xi Ji could talk to him more conveniently.

Xi Ji: "Xiao Wang, treat her well."

Another reminder.

It's just that this time Xi Wang was not as silent as the previous few times, she said in a flat voice, "I know."

I don't know if it's because Grandpa has some magical powers, Lu Ming felt that since he came, she was not so reserved in Xi's house.She also began to gradually leave her small room, exploring this "home" every day like a timid and curious little milk cat.

That day Lu Ming was having breakfast, and asked, "Aunt Wang, can I go to the Library Pavilion? Aunt Xi once told me that I can go there to read."

"Of course." Aunt Wang nodded, "Drink the milk and we'll go, okay?"

Hearing this, Lu Ming was holding half a glass of milk, and drank it without frowning.

Since Xi Wang reduced her morning milk intake, this matter has become less difficult.

The door of Zangshu Pavilion is on the second floor, but it is not limited to the second floor.

The appearance of the main house of the Xi family seems to have a large arc-shaped protruding design on the far right, which is the library.

This is a collection of books made by connecting the second floor and the third floor. There are many bookshelves embedded in the wall, full of tens of thousands of books. The circular staircase is embedded in the bookshelves to form a small corridor, which is quite interesting. Century European retro style.

Lu Ming stood at the door, looking up at the books in the room under the dim light, and the unique ink smell of the books embraced her enthusiastically.

"There are a lot of books here, which are divided into four or five floors. There are indexes at the far end of each floor, and there are also movable small books." Aunt Wang introduced, "This is the original design of the old man."

"Grandpa?" Lu Ming was curious.

Could it be that my great-grandfather once lived in this house?

"That's right, the Xi family's old house also has a library library that is bigger than this one, and it's also designed like this, with □□ floors." Aunt Wang said, "The old man likes to read, and the young lady also read it all over."

Lu Ming listened and nodded, and secretly decided in his heart that he had to read the books here as well.

She followed behind Xi Wang, watching her footprints and learning to walk step by step.

Although this decision seems difficult, Lu Ming has confidence in himself when he thinks that Xi Wang has done this before.

Although her height development is not very good, but fortunately her brain is still quite bright, and she can be regarded as a fast epiphany in the class.

"Miss Xiaolu, call me if you need it, and I won't bother you here." Aunt Wang saw that Lu Ming didn't have any more instructions for her, so she closed the door and left the library.

After closing the door, there was no sound from the library.Looking at the vast sea of ​​books in front of him, Lu Ming felt like swimming in the ocean of knowledge.

She didn't know what book she should read, and stepped on the first floor to explore layer by layer.

At first, the first floor contained some literary masterpieces, as well as many reference books, Xinhua dictionaries, English dictionaries, and even many minor language dictionaries.

Lu Ming didn't know the usefulness of these dictionaries at first, but she didn't understand the usefulness of these dictionaries until she went up one level.The higher you go, the more incomprehensible philosophy, business, and even pure classical Chinese and pure English.

Lu Ming was holding a copy of the English version of "Jane Eyre", but felt that his vocabulary was not enough to support him to finish reading a page.

She looked at the obvious traces of flipping on the pages of the book, and couldn't help thinking of the way Xi Wang was holding the book in her mind.

She sat at a desk below, a bright light illuminating the yellowed pages.

She was wearing the school uniform of the Experimental Middle School. The white shirt set off her elegant demeanor, and the checked skirt was lightly stretched to reveal a slender waist.

Does she frown at the word no?

Do you read your favorite sentences repeatedly?

Then in the quiet Library Pavilion, standard British English will occasionally be heard, carrying the aloofness and dignity of its owner.

People always become extra motivated when they have their own goals.

Lu Ming thought so and put a heavy Oxford dictionary on the table. She opened the first page of the book, and started her reading journey clumsily and diligently.

Rows of new words were quickly listed on the brand new big book, and Lu Ming read from the first page to No.20.

I don't know if it's because of the slight similarity in life experience with Jane Eyre, even though the reading is intermittent, Lu Ming is still very fascinated by the reading, and has a lot of emotion.

They are also orphans, and she is submissive in Lu's house, while Jane Eyre dares to resist injustice in her aunt's house, why can't she also become stronger?

Aunt Xi would also prefer smart and capable children.

An invisible seed was buried in the little girl's heart like this.

The sun rose to the top of the sky, casting the most ardent sunlight into the study room.

Lu Ming is just like the illustration in the book, propping his little head and looking into the distance, his dark and clear pupils seem to have changed inadvertently.

Near noon, Xi Wang returned home from work.She seemed to be taking something, and went straight to the library on the second floor.

She pushed open the heavy door as usual, but felt that the atmosphere here was different from usual.

A vigilant gleam appeared in Xi Wang's eyes immediately, she looked around skillfully and calmly, and found clues on the table under the window - the little girl at home didn't know what she was looking at, but she was holding her head in the air. Asleep on the table.

A long time ago, Xi Wang once told Lu Ming to let her come to Zangshuge to read books to pass the time.It's just that she hasn't had one these days, and Xi Wang is still a little disappointed about it.

I didn't expect that she would appear here today.

Still asleep?

Xi Wang looked at the little girl who was sleeping on her back, the cold light in her eyes faded away, and her brows frowned instead.

She stepped forward and saw the things Lu Ming had slumped on the table, a dictionary, a Jane Eyre, and a notebook with various words.

The crooked English and Chinese on the book all show its owner's ugly and terrible characters, but the neat layout makes people see the little girl's seriousness.

Somehow, Xi Wang became interested, sat down beside Lu Ming, picked up her vocabulary book and read it.

The little girl is just graduated from the third year of junior high school, her vocabulary is not very large, and the school is not a good school, and many commonly used and difficult grammars seem to have not been taught to her.

But the comprehension is not bad, and the grammar in a few places seems to be guessed, and the comprehension is also very accurate.

Xi Wang's frown, which was still slightly furrowed, gradually relaxed.

Suddenly, Lu Ming slowly tilted down from the corner of Xi Wang's vision.

The little girl's arms seemed to have supported her face for a long time, but now her face couldn't support it anymore and was about to slide down.

Just for a split second, Xi Wang stretched out his hand to support Lu Ming's small face.

The little girl slept soundly, her soft face rubbing against Xi Wang's palm gave Xi Wang an indescribable feeling.

Xi Wang was a little stunned, she looked at Lu Ming's small and delicate nose, and felt the hot temperature that the little girl gave her through the thin gloves.

It's just that this time is different from the past, her body didn't feel disgusted by it.

Just like it was in the East Outer Hall half a month ago.

Xi Wang looked at the sleeping Luming for a long time, as if he wanted to understand the little girl's magic power.

No fruit.

Xi Wang sighed softly, hid all the expressions on his face, and put Lu Ming's head on his shoulders expressionlessly.
