The rain, which lasted for nearly 24 hours, finally lightened around noon.

The pattering raindrops fell on the window glass, which was less messy and more suitable.

The inside of the carriage is like the world after the rain, exceptionally quiet.

Although the back row also had single seats, Lu Ming, who was sitting next to Xi Wang, didn't dare to take a breath.

She sat motionless on the leather seat, her buttocks were a little stiff.

In his little head, he couldn't stop thinking about what state he was in when Xi Wang sat in just now.

I took a nap with my eyes closed, but my head still seemed to be crooked.

Lu Ming clenched his fists nervously, but found that his fingers were still stained with water.

She's still drooling!

Lu Ming sat in his seat, feeling even more cramped.

The car started up smoothly, and the lush green summer scenery continued to retreat.

Lu Ming found that the reporters gathered outside when he came in the morning seemed to have disappeared.

I don't know who has such a great ability to clean up all those annoying people.

Lu Ming had an answer in his heart, and secretly looked at Xi Wang who was sitting beside him.

Xi Wangzheng relieved the tense shoulders and leaned on the soft chair back relaxedly.

The long and smooth hair fell down, quietly hanging on the side of the face, outlining a lot of tranquility and indifference.

She looked a little tired with her eyes closed, but her frightening aura didn't weaken in the slightest.

Lu Ming didn't dare to look any further, and carefully moved his gaze back.

She must have done it.

So many reporters are really disturbing the cleanliness of the dead.

Xi's house is located in the most expensive old town in the city center. Different from the emerging prosperity, here is more of a secluded seclusion in the downtown area.

The houses here are older than Luming, but they are well maintained.

Lu Ming sat upright, but couldn't help but look sideways at the window, admiring everything here like a curious baby.

The retro old buildings are hidden in the overlapping layers of greenery, which has a special artistic conception.

The car finally stopped in front of a huge bungalow with a low courtyard wall cut out of red bricks.

It's just that this house is not so much a huge bungalow as a small manor.

Just the front yard is two bigger than Shi Ning's proud backyard.

Lu Ming's eyes were wide open, and the clear eyes were filled with this big house that she couldn't see at a glance.

Her little heart was pounding, and she was even more timid about the new environment.

After the car came to a complete stop, Aunt Xu got out of the passenger car first, opened the door for Xi Wang and said, "Miss."

Xi Wang was awakened by Aunt Xu, and his dark pupils slowly opened with a little laziness.

Without the fatigue of ordinary people when they first wake up, the lingering momentum returns from all directions, making people afraid to make a sound.

Lu Ming didn't dare to slack off, walked over to Xi Wang carefully, and stood beside her obediently and cautiously.

At this time, the heavy double doors opened from the inside at the right time, and a woman who looked older than Aunt Xu appeared at the door.

She nodded slightly to Xi Wang and said, "Miss, you are back."

Xi Wang said "Yes", nodded Lu Ming beside him, and said: "Aunt Wang, let her get acquainted."

Aunt Wang saw the doubts on the face of the inexplicably extra child beside Xi Wang, but she didn't dare to ask more, nodded and said: "Yes, Miss."

Arranging Lu Ming out, Xi Wang took Aunt Xu straight to the third floor.

Lu Ming stood on the spot and watched Xi Wang leave, with some reluctance in his timid eyes.

"Let's go, grandma will take you to choose a room first." Aunt Wang smiled kindly, and took Lu Ming's hand.

The old man's soft palm wrapped around Lu Ming's rough palm, which should have given her some peace of mind, but Lu Ming's heart was full of fear.

She has been living a human life these years, and she has an extremely keen intuition at a young age.

This intuition made her follow Xi Wang back to Xi's house, and now told her to stay away from the woman in front of her.

But Lu Ming had no choice but to hold hands with Aunt Wang.

"What's your name?" Aunt Wang led Lu Ming to the stairwell, looking for a topic with the timid little girl beside her.

"Lu Ming."

"Which lu, which dream?" Aunt Wang asked again.

"Yo Yo Lu Ming's Lu Ming." Lu Ming read the verses in the Book of Songs with a little milky voice.

This is what Lu Yan told her.

She said that she hoped that Luming could be a girl full of spirit like Xiaolu.

But now this little deer has been tortured badly by life.

Except for those eyes that are always clear, there is nothing like a deer.

"It's a nice name." Listening to Lu Ming's verses, Aunt Wang became somewhat partial to this little girl whom I felt pity for, "Then how old is Lu Ming today?"

"15 years old." Lu Ming replied.

A gleam of surprise flashed in Aunt Wang's eyes, she looked at the girl in front of her who looked like twelve or thirteen years old, and she felt a little more love and pity in her heart.

"How did you meet Miss?"

"At the funeral today, my two younger brothers and I broke the bouquet at grandma's funeral, and she picked me up." Lu Ming simply explained.

Her Chinese has always been good, and it is easy to sum up one thing.

Aunt Wang was taken aback when she heard Lu Ming say that.

This child has nothing to do with the Xi family, nor does he have any personal relationship with Xi Wang.

Was the bond between the two just because of an accident?

If she hadn't told it herself, Aunt Wang would never have believed it.

While talking, the two of them came to the second floor.

Aunt Wang stopped in the small hall, and introduced to Lu Ming: "This main building has three floors. The first floor is the dining room, and the wife... now it should be the lady's reception room. There are three bedrooms on the second floor, which are adjacent to the study room. , the entertainment room, and the library. The third floor is the wife's room, the study room, and the lady's bedroom. Except for the third floor, you can move around freely in this house. On the third floor, you are absolutely not allowed up, remember?"

Aunt Wang's face became more serious, Lu Ming hurriedly nodded timidly, and said, "I remember, Aunt Wang."

"Also, Miss has a serious cleanliness habit and doesn't like others to touch her. You must remember this, and you must be careful not to have any physical contact with him without authorization." Aunt Wang said again.

When Lu Ming heard what Aunt Wang said, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Just now at the funeral, she held Xi Wang's hand that was extended to her without any scruples.

Thinking about it, Xi Wang didn't seem to want to come and hold her by himself when he made that gesture.

It seemed that he was just beckoning himself to come to her.

Lu Ming tightly grasped the hand he held Xi Wang, feeling extremely terrified.

"Lu Ming, what's the matter?" Aunt Wang called out strangely seeing that Lu Ming didn't answer her for a long time.

Lu Ming suddenly came back to his senses, and dared not tell Aunt Wang, whom she didn't trust, "No... I remember what you said, Aunt Wang."

"En." Aunt Wang nodded in satisfaction, and took Lu Ming to visit the three bedrooms on the second floor.

The bedroom next to the library is on the west side of the second floor. There is a sliding door leading to the terrace and occupying one wall. Lu Ming doesn't feel safe.

The bedroom next to the entertainment room is on the north side of the second floor, and there are windows on both sides. Lu Ming still feels insecure.

Only the bedroom close to the study, Lu Ming seemed very satisfied.

This bedroom is located in a quiet place, with only one semi-curved bay window, which is just right.

Although the decoration of the room is a bit dull and formal compared to the other two, the location is relatively remote.But for Lu Ming, a child who is extremely insecure, it is the best choice.

Lu Ming: "Just this one."

"Okay, I'll call a few people to clean up here later, and try to clean up a beautiful room for you as quickly and well as possible." Aunt Wang rubbed Lu Ming's head as she said.

Lu Ming reluctantly revealed a timely smile.

She doesn't have any extravagant expectations for this room, she thinks it's fine as it is now.

Her desires are very low, and survival is her only desire in the past few years in the Lu family.

Now that she has come to Xi's house, she still has no naive fantasy and excitement.

She cautiously followed Xi Wang and talked with Aunt Wang cautiously.

I just hope that this time her intuition can bring her a decent living environment.

Aunt Wang gave the order to tidy up Lu Ming's room, and then asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want lunch?"

"Okay." Lu Ming nodded, obediently followed Aunt Wang downstairs.

The two of them just went downstairs and walked towards the restaurant. When they passed by the elevator, they saw the number "1" lit up inside.

The silver-white elevator doors opened slowly, and under the bright lights, Xi Wang walked out from inside with a blank expression on his face.

The black high heels hit the ground, making a cold clicking sound.

"Miss." Aunt Wang stopped immediately.

Lu Ming also stood beside Aunt Wang, calling softly, "Aunt Xi."

Even though he stayed with Xi Wang for a short time, Lu Ming would still feel timid when he saw her again.

Seeing that Xi Wang had changed into a dress, Aunt Wang asked, "Miss, are you going back to your wife's funeral?"

"Yes, the process is about to start over there." Aunt Xu replied for Xi Wang.

"Let's go then." Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly, "Lu Ming will be taken care of by me, Miss, don't worry."

When Lu Ming heard Aunt Wang put the words on him, he held his skirt tightly and raised his head slightly.

Listening to the conversation between the two just now, she knew that Xi Wang was leaving.

Fear and reluctance intertwined in her heart.

She was afraid of the terrifying woman in front of her.

But he also hoped to be close to her.

Xi Wang still lowered his eyes, his sharp blade-like eyes seemed to meet Lu Ming's timid eyes unintentionally.

In the next second, he left indifferently.

Near noon the sun shines directly into the car, covering everyone inside with a layer of golden light.

Even the black armband on Xi Wang's sleeve became less sad.

Sitting in the car, Xi Wang slowly closed his eyes.

In the darkness, the appearance of the little girl at home gradually emerged.

Really well-behaved and pitiful.

It's like the puppy that couldn't be chased away.
