Contention

After getting off the plane, under the tension of being in a foreign country, the girl quickly returned to her well-behaved appearance.

Lu Yuexi's mother personally drove to pick her up, and when they met, they hugged her warmly:

"Long time no see, I miss you very much, the more I cherish it."

"I miss you too, Mom." After Lu Yuexi finished speaking, she introduced with a smile, "She is Zou Feiniao. Feiniao, you can just call her Auntie Su."

Zou Feiniao took a step forward and bowed slightly: "Hello, Aunt Su."

Su Xueman's eyes were bright, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Ah, what a cute little girl, hello, hello, come, come, let's talk when we get home."

The so-called "home", Zou Feiniao thought it would be where Su Xueman lives now.

Because Lu Yuexi had briefly introduced her mother's current family, she thought she would see her husband and children greet her at the door of the house.

Unexpectedly, the destination turned out to be a vacant two-story villa building, which was located in a green space next to the street, and there were automatic irrigators sprinkling water in the green space.

Open the door and go in, there is still a faint smell of detergent inside, and there are still water stains on the table, as if it has just been cleaned.

Su Xueman handed the key to Lu Yuexi, briefly introduced the layout of the villa and said that he would pick them up for dinner at night and then left.

Zou Feiniao was still a little dazed, but Lu Yuexi was carrying the suitcase and was about to go upstairs. Seeing her confused face, she smiled and said:

"It's definitely not comfortable living with them, so I asked my mum to put us up here, which is also an estate in her name."

Zou Feiniao: "..."

"...It's quite convenient here, but the house is a bit small." Lu Yuexi looked around and said, "I feel that some facilities are a bit old because they haven't been used for a long time, but we only live for about ten days, so we don't buy new ones." It's gone."

The two put their things in the room on the second floor, cleaned them up, and then went downstairs to get some food.

Fortunately, Su Xueman was considerate and bought enough vegetables in the refrigerator.However, there was no rice, so Lu Yuexi had to make do with a few side dishes, including fried mushrooms, lettuce with salad, and fried eggs with bacon.

In the end, I felt that it was too vegetarian, so I found a bag of Snowflake Beef from the bottom of the refrigerator, and made a stir-fried beef with black pepper.

Zou Feiniao was on the sidelines helping, obediently washing and chopping vegetables.When Lu Yuexi was cooking, she didn't say anything, she just took the seasoning she wanted to put in. Fortunately, Lu Yuexi was still thinking about her taste, so she didn't add too much salt or spices.

After the two had a hearty meal, Lu Yuexi took out the itinerary and told Zou Feiniao about the itinerary for the next few days.The girl listened carefully, and even wrote some arrangements that Lu Yuexi casually said into the memo on the phone.

Lu Yuexi looked at it amusedly, and asked her to show it to him, but Zou Feiniao's face turned reddish, obviously embarrassed.

"So rigorous?" Lu Yuexi jokingly said, "Don't be too nervous, you just come out to play, you can do whatever you want, you know? Don't be afraid to be in a hurry, I'm here."

Zou Feiniao bit his lip: "Yes."

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Su Xueman actually drove to pick them up for dinner at home.There was also a boy about 12 years old sitting in the car, with blond hair and black eyes, fair skin, red lips and white teeth.

Lu Yuexi went over to hug him, and stroked the boy's fluffy head:

"Somo, long time no see."

She took out a box from her bag and handed it to him: "This is a gift from me."

The boy smiled: "I have a gift for you too."

Lu Yuexi took the transparent box he sent over, which contained a set of pure handmade wooden windmills, which was ingenious.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Lu Yuexi patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and then introduced Zou Feiniao to him, "You can call her Sister Feiniao, she is my friend's daughter."

Sommerfeld Daller walked over very well, and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Sister Feiniao, Mom mentioned you to us just now."

Zou Feiniao then extended his hand and shook him politely. She was actually whiter than the mixed-race boy in front of her. Her eyes were as calm as water, and she was neither impatient nor impatient, and she behaved very decently:

"Hello, I've been bothering you for the past few days."

Su Xueman cooked the dinner out of enthusiasm.It's a pity that Lu Yuexi knows that her mother's cooking skills are a minefield, and whoever steps on them will be unlucky.

So she didn't eat much the whole time, just smiled and chatted with her half-brothers and sisters, and answered questions from her mother and stepfather incidentally.

However, Zou Feiniao was in a worse situation. The whole family had a tacit reason for putting down their knives and forks. Only she ate everything on the dinner plate to be polite.

The cauliflower was undercooked and had a vegetable and watery smell.The meat was also loose and not chewy, it tasted like cement.The cheese is sweet and greasy, too tangy.

The worst part was the eels and lobsters on the plate. Zou Feiniao's mouth was full of fishy smell because they were not seasoned to remove the fishy smell.

Lu Yuexi watched the scene where the girl finished eating calmly, then got up and nodded slightly, and asked with a smile where the bathroom was, almost laughed out loud.

Because her complexion was livid, it was rare that she could not stand it and was about to fall to the ground.

Su Xueman was very moved, probably Zou Feiniao was the first person to finish what she made since she knew how to use a spatula. into the bathroom.

So across the living room and the corridor, Lu Yuexi heard this conversation:

"Hey, are you okay?"

"...It's okay, Aunt Su, I just, seem to eat too much..."

"Ah, then you..."

"vomit……"

"Okay, you did eat too much, come on, good boy, it's okay, just spit here." Su Xueman was very friendly, "It seems that you like my cooking very much, but it's not okay to eat too much." Great..."

Zou Feiniao: "..."

After returning to the villa with the ashen-faced Zou Feiniao and the schadenfreude Lu Yuexi, Su Xueman held Zou Feiniao's hand reluctantly, looking at her more lovingly than at her other children:

"You are such a lovely child, come over to play tomorrow too."

Zou Feiniao touched the tip of his nose, remained silent for a long time, and nodded solemnly under Su Xueman's caring and sincere gaze.

The place where they dived the next day was in a fjord that Lu Yuexi often visited.

The fjord is made of volcanic rocks, and it is cave-like due to the erosion of sea water.As far as the eye can see, there is a stretch of natural gray on the vast blue water, and occasionally seagulls leap over.

Because there were so many trips, Lu Yuexi was nothing unusual. He rested his head on Zou Feiniao's shoulder while sitting in the car, unconsciously dozing off.

The girl didn't push her away, she just flipped through the book on her lap.Lu Yuexi listened to the rustling sound, and occasionally opened his eyes to read the popular science knowledge in the books, lacking interest.

The diving instructor invited was also an old acquaintance of Lu Yuexi, and he was the one who drove them to the diving site at the moment.

Teaching children new things is very laborious, but the object is Zou Feiniao, Lu Yuexi is happy to work hard.Anyway, she is smart and a quick learner.

And the coach was left out in the cold, and he didn't feel embarrassed. He just asked them to take their time, and then started warming up exercises near them.

After the two men finished warming up and put on their diving gear, he went over to check if there was any problem, and then took them into the water.

Lu Yue regretted that he was not fully equipped like Zou Feiniao, but simply wore a mask, a snorkel and flippers.

She didn't plan to go to far and deep places, so she planned to take pictures nearby.

She covered the Sony camera with a waterproof cover, found a coral group at random after entering the water, and waited for an opportunity to take pictures of the small fish swimming out of it.

On the other hand, Zou Feiniao was supervised by the coach, firstly to prevent accidents, and secondly, the two of them were equipped with excellent equipment, so that they could go to far-reaching places and see more underwater scenery.

But not long after, Zou Feiniao swam back on his own initiative.Lu Yuexi squinted his eyes to meet the light refracted through the sea and glanced at her, but saw the girl waved her hand excitedly.

Lu Yuexi had no choice but to swim towards her, but was suddenly grabbed by Zou Feiniao.She felt strange, and before she had time to say anything, she suddenly heard the other party yell very vaguely:

"dolphin!"

Lu Yuexi didn't understand at first, so she just looked in the direction of her finger, and saw two dark gray bottlenose dolphins playing. After looking carefully, they found that they were actually chasing a school of fish.

However, their attention was not entirely on the fish school. After a while, they turned around a few other divers who were taking pictures there, and one of them tilted his head and turned his round eyes towards them. Take a look at this.

Lu Yuexi only felt the strength in his hands suddenly increase, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the girl beside him. The latter was wearing a waterproof mask, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

But looking at her motionless and concentrated appearance, she should be fascinated, or obsessed.Obviously holding the camera in both hands, but forgot to lift it up to record.

Lu Yuexi secretly hooked her lips, raised her camera, and helped the already sluggish girl capture the scene she dreamed of.

Everything today is like a dream, Zou Feiniao is a little bit in a trance of a happy dream, the childishness that was well hidden by her is unavoidably revealed again, she carefully watched all the photos and videos taken by Lu Yuexi several times , making Lu Yuexi funny and helpless.

"I really like it so much, how about washing it out and making it into a photo album for you?"

Zou Feiniao was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up at her thoughtfully, looking a little moved, but she quickly shook her head:

"No, it's too much trouble."

Lu Yuexi said lightly: "What's the point, how much effort will it take?"

"It's really not necessary. Besides, if you want to make a photo album, I can do it myself." Zou Feiniao tactfully refused again, "I don't want to trouble others too much."

When Lu Yuexi heard it, there was a "hiss", and he didn't have the intention of teasing, so he replied calmly: "Whatever you want, anyway, I'm going to develop these photos myself."

Zou Feiniao said, "Yes."

Then he continued to look down at those photos, as if he didn't care about her sudden cold attitude.

Lu Yuexi looked at the way she frowned and looked at the photo, and suddenly felt irritable, but she couldn't show it, so as not to let her feel that she was moody.

So she poured herself a cup of soaked rose jasmine black tea, took a sip slowly, calmed down, and then asked casually:

"In your eyes, am I still an 'other'?"

Zou Feiniao didn't expect her to ask such a question suddenly, he couldn't react for a moment, paused, and then replied:

"No."

"Then you are so polite?"

"...I just don't want to trouble you too much." Zou Feiniao said, lowering her eyes, Lu Yuexi couldn't see the emotion in her eyes, but her tone was very soft, "Few people have been so kind to me, except me mom."

Lu Yuexi asked eagerly, "Then what am I in your heart?"

Zou Feiniao looked up at her, his dark pupils were clear, inexplicably sincere:

"You are my... best sister."

Lu Yuexi was in a good mood immediately, but at the same time he felt that something was wrong.

However, she didn't think much about it, she just touched the girl's soft hair and said with a smile:

"I also regard you as my best sister."
