Contention

Lu Yuexi stood there without moving, only watching Zou Feiniao in a daze for a moment, then quietly put the photo album back.

The confrontation just now was not even considered a confrontation, it was barely a sharp confession, but it made both of them exhausted.

After a long silence, Lu Yuexi asked, "How did you see this photo album?"

"While cleaning the room."

Lu Yuexi let out a "huh" and lowered her eyes to look at the slowly burning smoke in her hand.

Although she didn't say anything about Ye Huai, Zou Feiniao would find out sooner or later.She can't guess the details of the process, and it's meaningless to pursue it, because the final result is already like this.

She couldn't explain the reason for her feelings for this child. If it wasn't for the overly similar face and charm, she wouldn't have had other thoughts about Zou Feiniao in the first place.

It's just that as soon as she said that, the two of them must be over.

Lu Yuexi didn't have much regret, since the original purpose was not pure, and now she hurt the child, so why continue coaxing him and delaying that period of youth?

Seeing Zou Feiniao's movement, she paused and raised her eyes lazily:

"Going?"

Zou Feiniao pursed his lower lip, and threw over a bunch of keys.

Lu Yuexi didn't answer it, and the key fell on the floor with a dull sound.

She glanced at the key and smiled: "You did this to separate yourself from me?"

"..."

"Do you have to do this? Am I treating you badly?" Lu Yuexi took a breath of cigarette slowly, exhaled slowly, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "If you can't be a lover, you will still be my sister."

When Zou Feiniao heard this, he finally had an expression on his face. It wasn't that he was angry, but that look in his eyes, which made her look like a joke:

"At that time, I confessed to you, and you told me that since I said this, the relationship must be different, but now, you tell me to continue treating me as your sister?"

When she said this, she stopped for a while, as if she wanted to suppress some impulse, and said in a deep voice:

"You are too polite, Lu Yuexi."

After Zou Feiniao left, Lu Yuexi sat by the bed and smoked quietly.

In just one afternoon, she thought about many things.

From the hopeless and longing ten-year unrequited love, that distant and cold back view, to the girl's extremely disappointed and quiet gaze just now.

So many things have happened these days that she doesn't feel much sadness now, but her heart is a little dull.

Through the faint smoke, she seemed to have seen the end of her life at a glance.

Although there are ups and downs, it is nothing but repeated gains and losses. In the end, there is no one around, and after the joy and excitement, it is a boring and lonely form.

She was really tired this time.

Lu Yuexi sat for a long time, and the phone kept ringing at four o'clock in the afternoon. It was calls and messages from her family, urging her to go home for dinner.

She rubbed the space between her eyebrows, managed to pull herself together, took a shower, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.

Before going out, she glanced at the dining room.The food gradually lost its temperature on the table, and some warm scenes not long ago had already cooled down, turning into an unmanageable chicken feather.

Lu Yuexi looked at the cold food and cold dishes on this table, and couldn't help but feel bored, so he simply threw them all into the trash can.

Driving back to Lu's house unhurriedly, the car was clearly not cold, but her fingers were stiff.

When he finally arrived at his destination, Lu Yuexi parked the car in the garage, rubbed his hands, and walked towards the main house.

The living room was lively and warm, several people were sitting on the sofa, while Lu Heng pulled the microphone cable and was standing in front of the TV singing.

Lu Yuexi took off the scarf and smiled: "Dad, you are in such a good mood today, are you even singing?"

After hearing this, Lu Min looked over and smiled and said, "I had a drink with me in the afternoon, so I insisted on singing twice. I've been singing for two hours, and I don't feel tired."

When Lu Heng saw Lu Yuexi, he insisted on putting the microphone in her hand to let her sing a song too, but Lu Yuexi stopped him with his hand and gave him a white look:

"I just came back today and I'm exhausted."

"Who told you not to take a good rest when you come back? If you insist on running back to Rongjin, you don't know why."

Lu Yuexi was in a bad mood, so he didn't bother to talk to him, so he went to the sofa and sat down. Seeing two bottles of untouched beverages on the tea table, he randomly picked a bottle and unscrewed the cap to take a sip.

Lu Min leaned over and asked, "Yue Xi, why did you come and leave at noon? Originally, when Yun Yi and I heard that you were coming back, we would go straight home."

Mentioning this, Lu Yuexi frowned, looking a little annoyed: "I have something to do."

Seeing her expression, Lu Min was a little puzzled, but he was always considerate, so he tactfully didn't ask any more questions, just put his arms around the shoulders of the young man sitting next to him, and introduced:

"Come on, you know each other, Yun Yi, she is my eldest niece, Lu Yuexi, she is a few years older than you, you can call her Sister Yuexi."

The young man with beautiful eyebrows curled his lips when he heard the words, and called out:

"Sister Yue Xi."

Lu Yuexi frowned, she was allergic to these three words now: "You should call me Sister Lu."

"Why?" Before the boy could ask, Lu Min spoke.

"No, just call 'Sister Lu' to save trouble, only two words, 'Sister Yuexi' is very affectionate, I'm not used to it."

Lu Min was speechless for a moment, and could only smile at the boy again:

"Then you can call her whatever she wants to hear, it's just a title anyway."

The boy nodded noncommittally.

Lu Yuexi heard that her uncle talked to this boy in a soft voice, and she really loved him to the core, so she couldn't help but raised her eyebrows, and looked up carefully at his appearance.

Although the real person does not fit her aesthetics just like the one in the photo, I have to admit that the young man can indeed be called beautiful and eye-catching.

The other party has a pair of slightly raised fox eyes, dark pupils, narrow nose, and fair skin, which looks very comfortable, but his chin is too sharp, his lips are too thin, and he is too feminine. people.

Seeing Lu Yuexi looking at her, Yun Yi was calm and composed, without any sense of restraint, and smiled at her.

This smile is like a spring peach blossoming, sly and aura, with the unique sense of intelligence of a teenager.

Lu Yuexi felt very subtle, she looked away calmly and asked, "Where's Zimo?"

Lu Heng cleared his throat, and replied, "I'm practicing piano upstairs, if you need anything, go upstairs and find him."

He asked Lu Yuexi to go upstairs to look for him instead of asking Lu Zimo to come down to meet people, mainly because he was concerned about Lu Min and Yun Yi.

After all, acquiescing to his younger brother coming out of the closet is only for his happiness, but in his eyes, the children in the family should avoid such things as much as possible.

He still felt that Lu Yuexi was interested in women only because of Lu Min's influence.

Lu Yuexi also understood his father's thoughts, and felt a little helpless.

Of course she had nothing to do with Lu Zimo, she just wanted to amuse the children for fun.Now that she is depressed, and she is sitting with a few old men listening to his father crying and howling, she may go crazy.

Before dinner started, Lu Yuexi went upstairs to find her brother.

Although this child is playful now, his interest in musical instruments has not diminished in the slightest.

Some friends in the shopping mall complained that their children had to be coaxed to go to musical instrument lessons, but Lu Zimo didn’t need to say anything, he himself was looking forward to the private music teacher coming every day, and would be alone when there were no lessons Practice quietly in the piano room.

When Lu Yuexi opened the door and entered, the little boy was concentrating on playing the piano, so he didn't hear anything.

After coming to Lu's house, he was brought into a lot of cynicism by Lu Heng, but when he played the piano, he looked very serious, and he pressed every key carefully. If he played a wrong note, he would do it all over again.

This frowning look looks like a person, Lu Yuexi smiled and said:

"How long have you been practicing, and you don't feel tired even after eating?"

Lu Zimo was startled, turned around and pouted: "Why don't you knock on the door."

"I knocked, but you didn't hear me." Lu Yuexi opened his eyes and said nonsense, walked over and pressed the black and white keys casually, "What did you do today? Did you stay here all day?"

"I can't help it, Dad won't let me go downstairs..." Lu Zimo said, sniffing, "Ah, it smells like cigarettes, sister, you are smoking again!"

"Nonsense, I've taken a shower." Lu Yuexi smelled it, and she really smelled cigarettes on her sleeves. It may be because she has been smoking in the bedroom after Zou Feiniao left, and the smell is everywhere. , Even if you change your coat, it will inevitably be stained, "Oh, just a little bit, it's okay."

"Sister, stop smoking!" Lu Zimo wrinkled his nose and said sincerely, "Smoking will make your mouth smelly, your teeth will be yellow, and you will also get lung cancer. Cancer is terrible, and your lungs will rot."

"...you kid really knows how to talk." Lu Yuexi patted his head, "Sometimes you get upset, it doesn't matter if you twitch a little."

Lu Zimo looked puzzled: "But the cigarette smells so bad, wouldn't the more you smoke it, the more annoying it will be?"

Lu Yuexi: "..." She finally understood why her father suddenly seldom touched cigarettes during this time.

"Then you are smoking again today, are you in a bad mood?" The boy blinked and pulled her coat cuff, "If you are in a bad mood, you can tell me, don't smoke."

"..." These words seemed familiar, Lu Yuexi smiled wryly, touched his head again, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I'll just stop smoking next time."

After dinner at night, Lu Yuexi went to sit in the garden behind the house to digest.

Since Lu Yuexi took up his post at the headquarters, Lu Heng raised birds at home in his spare time, expanded the garden area, moved two rockeries, and planted many trees.

Those colorful birds perched on the trees and among the rockery. They were very noisy during the day, but relatively quiet at night. In such a quiet cold night, a sudden bird cry interrupted Lu Yuexi's thoughts from time to time.

There are also several solar lawn lights in the garden. With their light, Lu Yuexi recognized a little white bird that can sing and coo, and I don't know if it was blown cold by the wind.

Lu Yuexi walked over and looked at it under the tree.

The little white bird nestled in the nest, with its dark round eyes open, and occasionally called out, looking quite obedient.

She thought about it, went to the kitchen to get some corn kernels, held them in her hand and said softly under the tree:

"Come down, I'll give you something to eat."

Of course birds can't understand human language, but they know what to eat.

Flapping its wings, the little white muffin flew down, just in time to land in Lu Yuexi's palm, shaking its head to peck at the corn kernels.

Lu Yuexi's heart softened for a moment, with mixed feelings.She freed up a hand and carefully touched the head of the following bird:

"Little bird, why are you so small?"

The little manniao rubbed her hand, as expected of a house pet, and blamed her relatives.

Lu Yuexi stared at it, and after it finished eating the corn kernels, watched it fly back to the nest quietly, thinking about when it would settle down, and ask Lu Heng to raise it back.

After standing outside for a long time, her face turned red from the cold. Just as she was about to go back to the house, she heard Lu Min's laughing voice:

"It seems that you are quite leisurely, how about Xiaoniao?"
