At the beginning of the rain, round drops of water still hang on the leaves of the locust tree, which looks extraordinarily fresh and green.A few plump sparrows were chirping and jumping on the branches of the locust tree, and they could rustle without wind.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows behind the restaurant are like a picture frame, framing this dynamic and beautiful scene.

Lu Ming sat quietly at the table arranged for her by Aunt Wang, quietly eating her first lunch at Xi's house.

Aunt Wang's cooking skills are very good. The steak is wrapped in a thick and mellow sauce, which is very delicious.

It would be nice if it could be fully cooked.

Lu Ming has a keen sense of taste since she was a child, and the sauce can't hide the raw blood. The beef with excellent toughness was bitten in Lu Ming's mouth, hitting her head with the smell of blood.

But this is the Xi family, does she have the right to ask a butler-level servant to redo it for her?

Lu Ming chewed and chewed, but still swallowed the raw bloody beef, and also swallowed the idea of ​​going back to the stove and redoing it.

After barely eating half of it, Lu Ming felt that it was almost enough, so he smiled slightly and looked at Aunt Wang who was standing aside: "I'm full, Aunt Wang."

"Are you full after eating such a small amount?" Aunt Wang was a little surprised. She made small portions.

Lu Ming nodded, seeing the pity on Aunt Wang's face, he felt a little more guilty.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a sudden dark brown mark with white pepper spots on his chest.

The sauce on the steak splashed on the clothes at some point.

As if it was her punishment for wasting food.

Lu Ming hurriedly took out a paper towel to wipe it off, but Aunt Wang shook her head when she saw this: "This material can't be wiped off, so let's change it and send it to dry cleaning."

When Lu Ming heard that he was going to change, his face was a little embarrassed, and he whispered: "I didn't bring a change of clothes."

She brought nothing but herself.

Aunt Wang realized it instantly, she took Lu Ming's little hand and said, "It's okay, I'll take you somewhere."

On the second floor, apart from the few rooms that Aunt Wang had just introduced to Lu Ming, there were also many houses that Lu Ming didn't know what to use.

Aunt Wang pushed open one of them, and a small window cast a faint light into the room. Standing at the door, Lu Ming could barely make out that there seemed to be rows of wardrobes inside.

"These are all the clothes that the lady wore when she was similar to you." Aunt Wang introduced, and turned on a row of light switches at the door.

The bright lights dazzled Lu Ming so much that he couldn't open his eyes. After getting used to it, the dazzling array of clothes made Lu Ming feel his eyes opened again.

"This is summer clothing, the other is spring and autumn clothing, and the next one is winter clothing. Here are shoes and some accessories."

Lu Ming followed Aunt Wang's introduction and looked at each room. This exquisitely decorated cloakroom is like a fantasy beehive maze, and every door opening extending there is unique.

"These are the clothes that the lady used before she went abroad at the age of 17. When the lady was here, she would send someone to maintain them every year. Although it has been more than ten years, they have been well preserved. Some clothes are not outdated now. If Miss Xiaolu doesn't dislike it , you can choose one or two." Aunt Wang said.

Lu Ming listened to Aunt Wang's words and walked into the room.

She felt as if she had strayed into a dragon's lair, filled with glittering gold coins and jewels.

She was a little panicked, "Would Aunt Xi not mind?"

Aunt Wang smiled, "How come, these clothes are kept here by Madam who is reluctant to throw them away. Miss will not wear them anymore, why would you mind, choose with confidence."

The smile in Lu Ming's eyes was a bit awkward.

It turned out that the nest full of treasures in her eyes was just an ordinary cloakroom in the Xi family.

Or a cloakroom for unworn clothes.

The summer clothes in the cloakroom were dazzling, but Lu Ming was not fascinated.

She knew that Xi Wang's mother had a new funeral, and even though she had no blood relationship with Mrs. Xi, she still couldn't wear bright colors, so she chose a turquoise plaid skirt suit for her with extra care.

Dark green and black intertwine with sharp folds.There is also a red feather on the white short-sleeved shirt.

Lu Ming felt that the clothes looked very familiar, and suddenly remembered that Lu Jianni, the eldest daughter of Lu Changjun and Mrs. No.1, who went to the Experimental Middle School in Province A, was also wearing such clothes.

No, it's the school uniform.

"I'm so lucky, I got Miss's high school uniform as soon as I picked it up." Aunt Wang relieved Lu Ming's embarrassment with a gentle smile, "Is Miss Xiaolu also in high school now?"

Lu Ming shook his head, "I just finished the high school exam last week."

"Then I will enroll in high school soon. Is there any target school?" Aunt Wang asked.

Lu Ming bit his lip, and the hand holding the school uniform of the experimental middle school couldn't help but tighten a little bit.

Her target school is Experimental Middle School, especially now that she knows that Xi Wang also went to that high school, she yearns for it even more.

But Lu Ming was afraid that if he said it, he would be ridiculed like Lu Changjun - that is the best high school in the city and even in the whole province, so this stupid head deserves it?

The little girl lowered her gaze and shook her head.

Aunt Wang saw what Lu Ming was thinking, and suggested, "Since the clothes are all out, do you want to try, Miss Xiao Lu?"

"Is it possible?" Lu Ming's eyes lit up a little.

"Of course." Aunt Wang stood behind Lu Ming and helped her untie the tie on the back of the dress.

The skirt, which looked just right from the front, immediately grew bigger, and when it was put on Lu Ming's thin body, there was a strange disharmony.

Aunt Wang could tell right away that these were not Lu Ming's own clothes at all, they seemed to be taken from some older child.

"Why doesn't the family prepare a dress that fits you?"

Aunt Wang's question didn't mean to be sarcastic, but Lu Ming lowered his head even lower.

The clothes on her body belonged to Lu Jianni.

The room was quiet, but Lu Ming grabbed his fingers, sensitive and embarrassed.

It's just that what landed on her next was no longer the servant's cynicism, but Aunt Wang's warm palm.

"Good boy, it's all over. From now on, Aunt Wang will protect you, and no one will bully you anymore." Aunt Wang said while changing the underwear on Lu Ming's body that had long lost its elasticity.

The pure white soft sports underwear outlined the girl's barren figure, bringing her unprecedented warmth.

Lu Ming watched as Aunt Wang carefully helped him arrange Xi Wang's school uniform, her soft palms brushed over her slender waist.

She suddenly felt that Aunt Wang didn't seem to be as unkind as she was when she first met her.

"Okay, let's look in the mirror."

Aunt Wang pushed Lu Ming to stand in front of the full-length mirror in front of the window. The loose white shirt was tied with a red bow tie, and the three-rolled skirt spread out its pleats like sunset flowers.

Putting on Xi Wang's clothes, Lu Ming seemed to be a different person, his fair face looked extra energetic under the high ponytail that Aunt Wang had combed.

The light fell, lighting up the breastplate on the upper left of the shirt that Lu Ming hadn't noticed.

"Senior Three·(15) Ban Xi Wang" mirrored the red words that jumped into her sight.

It turned out that I had guessed wrong, Xi Wang's forgetting was not wishing for hope, but forgetting.

Lu Ming felt a little regretful, but also a little puzzled.

Why forget it, isn't she her mother's hope?

"I always feel that it was yesterday that Miss went to high school. No one would have thought that more than ten years have passed. It was so good at that time..." Aunt Wang looked at the little girl in the mirror. Memories of the past, "It would have been better without that."

Lu Ming heard some sighs about the past from Aunt Wang's words, and looked up at Aunt Wang with clear and innocent eyes.

"It's all old sesame seeds and rotten millet. There's nothing to mention." Aunt Wang smiled and rubbed Lu Ming's head. "It's getting late, let's go and choose some regular clothes and pajamas."

Lu Ming nodded, obediently obeyed Aunt Wang's words and went to choose a few sets of uniforms and shoes.

This is not something she should inquire about, she is just an orphan girl who lives in another family, and she should not speculate about the affairs of the master's family at will.

The setting sun burned half the sky red, and the camphor tree at the door was blown by the wind, causing the light and shadow on the glass windows to shake.

Lu Ming opened his eyes in a daze, looking at the light pink bedroom in front of him, he was stunned for a while before he recognized the new and unfamiliar environment in front of him.

——This is where she will live and live in the future.

Just after packing up the clothes and shoes he brought, Lu Ming lay down on the bed and fell asleep.Originally, I just wanted to take a nap, but I didn't expect to sleep until the evening.

Lu Ming closed his eyes and gently sniffed the faint fragrance in the room, the soft satin was against her delicate skin.

Can she really, can she have this life that couldn't be better?

Lu Ming looked at the exquisite furnishings in the room, his eyes filled with longing and bewilderment about the unknown future.

"Guru~"

There was a particularly abrupt stomach sound in the quiet room.

I didn't eat much at noon, and as expected, I was hungry early in the afternoon.

Lu Ming's room was newly furnished, it was empty and waiting for the master to fill it up, how could there be snacks to honor the master.

After his stomach protested three times in a row, Lu Ming had no choice but to carefully leave the room and go downstairs.

The first floor is quiet, there is not even a sound, let alone Aunt Wang.

Lu Ming was not used to bothering others, so when he couldn't find Aunt Wang, he went to the kitchen alone, opened the refrigerator, and carefully took out a box of relatively cheap eggs among the dazzling array of delicacies.

She thought it wouldn't matter if she baked a few eggs and made an egg roll.

A crack was cracked in the white egg shell, Lu Ming knocked the egg into a bowl, and carefully added a little salt into it.

After heating up the oil in the pan, Lu Ming cooked his best egg rolls in a small rectangular pan.

However, according to Lu Jianni, this thing seems to be called Tamagoyaki.

The range hood was working silently, and the golden egg liquid gradually condensed and became shallower due to the heat. Lu Ming held chopsticks in one hand and a shovel in the other, and was self-reliant in this exceptionally quiet environment.

She enjoyed this space that belonged to her, and rolled the egg rolls in the pan extraordinarily beautifully.

"clatter."

The sound of the refrigerator being opened came from behind Lu Ming.

Such an insignificant sound startled Lu Ming to poke a chopstick hole in the egg roll.

She looked around like a frightened rabbit, and when she turned her head, she met Xi Wang's condescending gaze.

Xi Wang didn't know when he came back, and he didn't know when he stood in front of the refrigerator behind him.

She seemed to be very dissatisfied with her surprised appearance, and she frowned slightly.

The cold air poured out from Xi Wang's body and the refrigerator at the same time, but Lu Ming's nervous mood couldn't be cooled down no matter what.

Hearing the beating heartbeat in her ears, she wished she could disappear in front of Xi Wang.But the unfinished egg rolls left her no way out, so she could only bite the bullet and greet in a low voice, "Aunt Xi."

Xi Wang nodded, but his movements remained unchanged.

She looked at the frightened rabbit in front of her with heavy eyes, and moved her gaze to the pot in her hand.

"Make me one too."
