The Melancholy of a Third-Rate Writer

Even the boss didn't expect Little Bell to call Lafayette back.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stared at by several pairs of eyes, and the little awkwardness that Lu Xiaohua had along the way disappeared.

It seems that this is the real game!

Lu Xiaohua greeted Lafayette obediently: "Hi sister! Hello Bell!"

Boss: "... who is your sister?"

Lu Xiaohua: "Of course I didn't call you and the housekeeper!"

Lafayette did not speak.

Lafayette couldn't say anything in front of Little Bell, but his eyes kept sweeping towards Lu Xiaohua.

The housekeeper told her that this is a very sensible child with a sweet mouth, and the boss is very happy to be with him.It's just that in order to make Xiao Lingdang believe in their relationship, the boss actually directly dragged her to register for marriage. This is too nonsense!

Lafayette had to wonder if Lu Xiaohua had used some tricks.

Of course, Lu Xiaohua could feel Lafayette's scrutiny. He knew that what he said was just asking for trouble, so he sat down to eat peacefully.

Little Bell felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and quietly moved the chair to Lu Xiaohua's side.

Little Bell looked at Lu Xiaohua expectantly, and secretly said in a low voice, "I'm going abroad tomorrow, Brother Xiaohua, you must get along well with Brother Siqi!" She pointed a little finger at Lu Xiaohua, " Let's pull the hook."

Lu Xiaohua said: "How old are you, you still pull the hook."

Little Lingdang insisted: "We must pull the hook!"

Lu Xiaohua could only stretch out his little finger to hook Little Bell's little finger.

Little Bell was happy: "Hanging on the hook, it cannot be changed for 100 years!"

Lu Xiaohua fell into deep thought: "Why did you hang yourself after pulling the hook?"

Little Bell: "..."

Little Bell was also lost in thought.

Lafayette, the boss and the housekeeper: "..."

Seeing that the two of them got together again to ponder, the boss put a particularly spiny fish into Lu Xiaohua's bowl with a sullen face, and said calmly, "Eat."

Lu Xiaohua wants to cry but has no tears.

When he was a child, he got stuck by a fishbone once, and it was so severe that he could not speak for a week, which directly caused him to have a shadow on the fishbone!

He clearly wrote "I really hate fish" in that questionnaire!

Unexpectedly, halfway through the meal, someone under the boss called to find him, saying that there was something that the boss had to deal with in person.

The boss glanced at Lafayette and said, "I'll come back as soon as I go, you guys eat."

Without the boss, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much more harmonious, because Lafayette didn't say a word, Lu Xiaohua and Xiao Lingdang could discuss to their heart's content the question of "why hang themselves after pulling the hook"!

After chatting until about eight o'clock, Little Bell couldn't hold on any longer, and fell asleep drowsily leaning against Lu Xiaohua.

Little Lingdang got seriously ill at a young age, and Lu Xiaohua felt bad for her.The reason why she was sent to live with the boss was probably because the family had something to do and couldn't spare time to take care of her.But this child is very sensible, and he doesn't make noise when his family is not around.Lu Xiaohua looked at her sickly face and was a little worried. If this was his sister, he would be so heartbroken to death.

Lu Xiaohua carefully picked up the little bell, sent it back to her room, and covered her with the quilt.

When he came out of the small bell room, he saw the butler waiting outside: "Madam is waiting for you downstairs." After a pause, he patted Lu Xiaohua on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we all know this is a stopgap measure, Madam Not a person who doesn't know right from wrong."

Lu Xiaohua nodded: "I understand!"

He encouraged himself and went downstairs to see Lafayette.

Lafayette's eyes kept sweeping towards Lu Xiaohua.

Lu Xiaohua could only say dryly, "Hello, sister!"

Lafayette said: "Based on my many years of experience as a leading dancer, you have a good body. Although you look thin, you are quite strong. Just now you didn't pant when you carried the bell up the stairs. That's right, it's not the same as those now. Young people are different."

Lafayette's tone was calm, and Lu Xiaohua put his heart back in place.

Lu Xiaohua said: "When I was young, my younger brother was relatively weak. I did a lot of things at home, and it would be better if I exercise more."

Lafayette knew that the situation in Lu Xiaohua's family was not particularly good, but he didn't know much about it.Hearing Lu Xiaohua take the initiative to mention it, she asked: "What kind of work can you do when you are so young?"

Lu Xiaohua said: "Children of poor people are already in charge of the house, so they can't do any work. My parents are not in good health, and my younger brother is growing up, so those flying in the sky and swimming in the water have to find ways to get them back for extra meals." Usually go down to the fields, herd cattle, and when the fruits are ripe, put them in two baskets and take them to the town to sell on bicycles, in exchange for the meat that is put on sale in the town. But that is too expensive for us, Even if I trade fruit for money, I’m reluctant to buy too much…”

Lu Xiaohua said it calmly, but Lafayette burst into tears: "I didn't expect you to come through that kind of hard life!"

Lu Xiaohua smiled shyly: "It's not a big deal, I didn't feel hard at all at that time, because they are all my dearest people."

Lafayette cried even more fiercely. She stretched out her arms to hug Lu Xiaohua: "You are really a sensible child." Then she assured Lu Xiaohua, "I don't blame you for the marriage, it's Siqi who messed up on his own. He obviously likes it." People, how can I drag you like this, I will let you divorce when the bell is stable."

Lu Xiaohua let out an "um" and let Lafayette cry in his arms.

The conversation finally came to an end after Lafayette received a "opening" call from friends.

After seeing off Lafayette respectfully with Lu Xiaohua, the housekeeper said to Lu Xiaohua solemnly: "You shouldn't lie to Madam."

Lu Xiaohua was taken aback, and said, "I didn't lie!"

The butler's tone became more serious: "I don't know about your relationship with the family? I asked you to deal with the matter in your family last time."

Lu Xiaohua: "..."

He rushed forward and hugged the butler tightly, moved and gratefully said: "So it was you who helped! Dad! You are so kind to me!"

But this time the housekeeper didn't let him get away with it, and sternly pulled him off his body and warned: "I hope you don't lie in front of Madam in the future, she is a person who easily trusts others, you are taking advantage of her sympathy !"

Seeing that the housekeeper was serious, Lu Xiaohua was silent for a while, and said, "I didn't lie." He paused, "What I said was true—I didn't feel hard at all at that time."

This is true.

At that time, Lu Xiaohua would not think about hard work or not. They are his parents, his younger brother, and people who are closely tied to him by blood. It is only natural to treat them with all their heart and soul. .It was precisely because of his unprepared and unreserved heart and soul that his world was split in two when he fell ill and was kicked out as worthless waste.

Half of it is no regrets in the past, and the other half is never looking back now.

Lu Xiaohua didn't say anything more, but that appearance made the housekeeper feel distressed, and he stretched out his hand to hug Lu Xiaohua into his arms.This is the second time, so although his movements are still a bit stiff, they are much more natural than the first time.

It's a pity that before the housekeeper had time to comfort Lu Xiaohua, the boss' voice came from the door: "Lu Xiaohua, what are you doing?" The tone was full of gnashing of teeth.

housekeeper:"……"

Why is this reaction so like catching rape in bed!

Lu Xiaohua also felt baffled, he always regarded the housekeeper as an elder, and couldn't keep up with the boss's thinking.

Lu Xiaohua seldom struggled with things that he couldn't figure out. He jumped away from the butler, and said to the boss carelessly: "It's getting late, the school may check the bed tonight, I'll go back first!"

Seeing that Lu Xiaohua had no intention of explaining at all, the boss dragged him into his arms and carried him upstairs.

Lu Xiaohua felt bad now: "What's wrong with you!"

The boss gritted his teeth and said, "When I got home and saw you hugging someone else, what did you say?"

Lu Xiaohua: "..."

The housekeeper who was about to follow upstairs felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard this sentence.

Then the butler quietly took back the steps he had already taken.

He had to quickly find a way to figure out whether the boss was so angry because of machismo, or if they had made a mistake in their judgment before!
