While Lu Yan was taking a shower, Shen Kuo kept walking around the room, and she could even clearly hear his pacing.
"Add more hot water." He would come to the door from time to time and tell her: "It's best to use hot water."
"It's already very hot."
"It doesn't matter if it's a little hotter."
"Do you want me to turn into a roast duck?"
A slight smile appeared on his lips: "If you become a roast duck..."
Lu Yan waited for a long time, but before the next step, she asked angrily: "What if I become a roast duck?"
"I'll just...eat you."
"ha."
He always spoke in a serious tone, and there were not many such joking words.
Lu Yan liked his relaxed look, it would be great if he could stay like this.
Half an hour later, she turned off the hot water, dried her body with a bath towel, and asked Shen Kuo: "My clothes are wet, what should I wear?"
"Wait a moment."
Shen Kuo went to the room to get his clothes and trousers, walked to the door, and knocked: "Open the door."
After a long while, the little girl slowly opened a slit and slowly stretched out her wet arms, bringing out a burst of hot mist.
Shen Kuo handed the clothes to her white paws: "Wear mine, is it okay?"
"no problem!"
With a "swish" sound, she retracted her hand and immediately locked the bathroom door.
He said calmly.
The clothes Shen Kuo gave her were velvet pajamas, made of soft cotton, very warm and homely, and smelled of clean soap powder.
She has a petite figure and wears Shen Kuo's clothes that are very loose, but... she doesn't wear a bra. Although the clothes are a bit thick and not obvious, it is not completely obvious.
She pulled her clothes as far forward as possible to make the front appear looser.
After she was done, she took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself for a long time, then slowly opened the bathroom door and walked out.
Shen Kuo was making ginger soup in the kitchen, and when he heard the sound, he came out with a bowl of hot soup.
The little girl was wearing his loose clothes and stood awkwardly by the wall, with wet black hair hanging on her shoulders.
After taking a shower, the skin always looks particularly white, like a bud in bud, clear and moist.
No wonder you always have to do some things after taking a bath, not only because it is clean, but also because after taking a bath, both men and women will look particularly beautiful.
Seeing Shen Kuo staring straight at her, Lu Yan looked away with embarrassment and asked, "What are you doing?"
Only then did Shen Kuo react, calmed down, handed her the soup bowl in his hand, then pulled her to sit on the sofa and used a hair dryer to dry her hair.
Lu Yan took a small sip of the hot ginger soup.
"It tastes delicious."
"Then drink more."
He put sugar in the soup to make it very rich.
Lu Yan continued to drink the soup with her head down.
Shen Kuo stood in front of her, picked up her wet hair, and blew it dry strands with a hair dryer.
Lu Yan looked up at him from time to time.
He lowered his eyes, his expression was very serious and gentle, and he tidied her hair gently and meticulously.
Lu Yan didn't dare to look at him all the time. She moved her gaze downwards and looked straight ahead.
Directly in front is his flat belly.
She carefully pressed her forehead against his hard abdomen. Seeing that he didn't respond, she leaned forward with confidence and put her arms around his waist.
Shen Kuo's eyebrows were soft and he smiled lightly: "You seem to like taking advantage of me."
"Isn't it possible?"
"Can."
Shen Kuo picked up a bunch of hair on the back of her head, pulled her away, and said restrainedly: "Not now."
In some aspects, like all men, he does not have strong self-control, especially...when facing the girl he dreams of every night.
He was afraid that he would lose control and hurt her.
But Lu Yan didn't notice at all. During the whole process of blow-drying, the little girl was either rubbing his belly or touching his waist, which made him feel very anxious.
It was always like this, but he still patiently blow-dried every strand of Lu Yan's hair.
The rain was pouring outside the window, accompanied by spring thunder, with no intention of stopping.
Lu Yan's hair was fluffy and hanging on her shoulders. From time to time she looked outside worriedly, as the sky was gradually getting dark.
"When will this rain stop?"
Seeing Shen Kuo cleaning up the room and ignoring her, she asked again: "Is it true that Father Shen won't be back tonight?"
"Won't."
She moved her feet and said, "Then what should we do?"
Shen Kuo just didn't know what to do, so he started to clean up the room.
There has to be something to do anyway, otherwise he will always... think randomly.
In fact, he really didn't have any purpose at the beginning. All he could think about was asking her to take a hot bath quickly and change out of her wet clothes to avoid catching a cold.
But the little girl who had taken a bath was wearing his clothes and sitting in front of him. She was not wearing anything at all. Only then did he slowly realize that taking her home was an absolute mistake.
"You want to do something." He turned his back to her, his throat was dry and itchy.
Lu Yan was completely unaware of the change in the boy's mentality. She lay on the sofa and stretched out easily——
"I don't know."
Shen Kuo went back to the room, took a teaching aid and threw it in her face: "Read the book by yourself."
"She deserves to be the first in her grade." Lu Yan commented: "I read books even when it rains."
Shen Kuo said: "Why can't you read on a rainy day?"
Lu Yan spread out the teaching materials and covered her face, breathing in the scent of ink, and crossed her legs lazily: "It's suitable to lie down on rainy days."
Shen Kuo sometimes felt that she was like a clingy big cat. He liked her calmness and her lazy look.
This kind of relaxed attitude in life was something he had never had before.
Maybe life...should be like hers.
Shen Kuo turned on the TV, found a few discs from the cabinet, and asked her, "Want to watch a movie?"
"Great!"
Shen Kuo picked out a Stephen Chow comedy, put it in the DVD, then sat on the sofa and watched it with her, as a way to make up for her missed appointment today.
Shen Kuo sat at the other end of the sofa. Soon, the little girl slowly moved over and sat next to him, leaning against him. Seeing that he didn't respond, she tried to rest her head on his shoulder.
The blue light of the TV screen enveloped his soft silhouette, and his mellow voice——
"You seem to really like my body."
"Well…"
"This is not good." He said to her seriously: "You can't mistake me for Lu Zhen."
"I didn't think of you as him, how could I think of you as him..."
She didn't know what to say.
Shen Kuo didn't know that Lu Yan had no mother since she was a child and was pampered by Lu Zhen. She would act like a spoiled child if there were conditions. If there were no conditions, she would act like a spoiled child even if conditions were created.
An intimate relationship can bring her psychological satisfaction, so she can't help but make intimate moves towards him.
"Isn't that what falling in love is all about?"
Touch each other, like each other.
But Shen Kuo never seemed to touch her, I don't know why.
"Don't you like me?" she asked him, feeling aggrieved.
Shen Kuo's Adam's apple rolled slightly. He didn't dare to answer this question. How could he not like it? But he didn't dare to like it too much. He was afraid that he would lose control and hurt her.
"Forget it if you don't like it."
Lu Yan leaned to the side, no longer next to him, and seemed to be a little breathless: "I'll leave when the rain stops."
"Um…"
The little girl was so angry that she raised her leg and kicked him: "Old antique."
She really had to remind herself at all times that Shen Kuo was from his father's era, and people from that era were all antiques. There was a generation gap of several decades between them.
You can only think like this so as not to piss yourself off.
Shen Kuo smiled faintly, stood up and said, "I'll go dry your clothes."
When he saw her, he rubbed the top of her forehead.
Lu Yan stuck out her tongue at him.
Shen Kuo didn't touch her clothes. He went straight to the toilet, even stumbling slightly in the last few steps.
Maybe I'm almost suffocated.
He closed the door, took off his clothes and turned on the shower head, letting the water wash over his body.
He tensed himself up.
Lu Yan thought he was taking a shower, so she had no choice but to grab her wet clothes and dry them on the rack, then dried them with a hair dryer.
"Shen Kuo, you are still taking a shower." She called to the door: "It's been half an hour, it's so slow."
Shen Kuo didn't answer, his body became tighter and his breathing became a little rapid.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Yan put down the clothes in her hands and walked to the bathroom door: "Are you still there?"
He said "hmm" in a low voice.
Come on, come on...
Lu Yan didn't know why: "Taking a bath is slower than a girl."
"Lu Yan." He suddenly stopped her: "Where are you standing?"
"ah?"
"Don't move."
He looked at the girl's silhouette reflected on the frosted door of the bathroom, and finally... the stars in the sky fell.
He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, his mind going blank for a long, long time.
It is easy to indulge, but difficult to restrain.
If one day, she can give him such beautiful and ultimate happiness, just think about it...
All the stars in his world will light up.
At nine o'clock, the rain finally stopped, and the clothes Lu Yan baked were just right to wear.
When Lu Yan returned home, she thought that at this time, Lu Zhen would inevitably chase her and ask her what she was doing. Unexpectedly, the house was quiet. When Lu Zhen saw her, he didn't say anything, poured water, turned around and went upstairs to his room.
Lu Zhen was a straight man, and his happiness or displeasure was always shown on his face. Lu Yan could tell at a glance that this guy was in a bad mood.
She chased after him and asked, "Dad, what happened?"
"It's okay, I'm going back to my room to read."
He stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, obviously trying to hide something. Lu Yan pulled his hand away and found that there were bruises on the corners of his eyes.
Fortunately, the marks are not deep and not obvious unless you look carefully.
"You got into a fight again!"
Lu Yan exclaimed, and Lu Zhen quickly covered her mouth, looked upstairs defensively, and whispered: "If you don't want your dad to be hurt twice, just keep your voice down!"
Lu Jian is in the study at the moment. During this period, the relationship between father and son has finally eased, and Lu Zhen does not want to make the relationship tense again.
Lu Yan nodded obediently: "So what happened? Who did you fight with again?"
Lu Zhen said casually: "Shen Kuo did it."
"Impossible." Lu Yan objected: "It can't be Shen Kuo. Who are you biting?"
Lu Zhen looked at her: "Why are you so sure it's not him? Is it possible that you are with him today?"
"..."
This guy has become smarter!
Lu Zhen looked at the time and said doubtfully: "It's almost ten o'clock before I go home, you..."
Before he finished speaking, the little girl suddenly shouted: "Grandpa!"
Lu Zhen quickly covered his face, and she took the opportunity to escape, slithering under him like a fish, ran straight back to the room, and locked the door.
"Damn girl, come back, I haven't finished asking you yet!"
Just as Lu Zhen was about to chase after him, Lu Jian's majestic voice came from the study: "Who are you talking to? Is there any rules in the house anymore?"
Lu Zhen quickly covered his mouth and hurried back to his room.
After Lu Yan returned to the room, she called Liang Ting and asked him what happened.
Liang Ting didn't hide anything from Lu Yan, and said, "Isn't your dad chasing a girl recently? That girl... well, how should I put it, has a bit of a bad temper."
Lu Yan exclaimed: "Mom, you said the injury on my dad's face was caused by a girl beating him?"
Liang Ting wanted to say, that is really your mother, but he held back and just said: "Yes, it is a girl's 'masterpiece'."
Who asked your father to chase after someone else's "baby" and "wife"? Isn't this asking for a fight?
"Don't tell me what I said."
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan took the medical kit and walked to Lu Zhen's room, pulled him up from the bed, took out the ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and gently rubbed it on his forehead.
"Oh, be gentle." Lu Zhen patted her hand: "It's too rough."
Lu Yan had a sullen face and said nothing. She still took the cotton swab and applied medicine to him. She looked a little angry.
Lu Zhen hissed and tugged the little girl's cheek: "You're going to avenge your private life, you damn girl."
Lu Yan put down the cotton swab and said angrily: "How did you promise me this?"
"What did I promise me?"
"You promised not to flirt with women before you met my mother!"
"I just..."
"That's what!"
Lu Zhen paused, feeling that it would be unwise to tell the little girl the truth like this.
Lu Yan had lost her mother since she was a child, and she would definitely be more excited than him to see Jian Yao. If she hugged her legs and called her mother with "snot and tears", he couldn't imagine what Jian Yao's bad temper would do to her.
What does his daughter do?
It doesn't matter if he gets beaten a little, he can't let his daughter put herself in danger.
This matter needs to be considered in the long term, at least until Jian Yao truly accepts him...
This way he also has face.
Seeing Lu Zhen's appearance, Lu Yan felt pitiful and relented. She slowed down her movements and spread the yellow ointment little by little: "Then don't put the gauze on, so as not to be discovered by grandpa."
"We can't let him see it, otherwise he will definitely say that I am not doing my job properly and go out to cause trouble."
"If you don't want to be looked down upon by grandpa, then just stay calm."
Lu Zhen curled his lips in frustration and said nothing.
The next morning, while having breakfast, Lu Zhen asked about his children's studies respectively. He mainly told Lu Zhen that he must focus all his energy on his studies in the last semester. He was waiting for good news from him.
Lu Zhen nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Even if there is a problem, it can only be okay now, after all, Haikou has been boasting about it.
Shi Xuexian stared at Lu Zhen's face carefully and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhen, why are you still wearing makeup?"
Lu Zhen was shocked and instinctively covered the corner of his left eye: "What kind of makeup...are you wearing?"
Lu Yan glanced at Shi Xuexian. Although she pretended to be surprised, it was obvious that she could see the foundation on the corners of Lu Zhen's eyes, covering up the light bruise.
"Look, the skin on the left corner of my eye is obviously whiter. Isn't that because I'm wearing makeup?"
Lu Jian raised his head and glanced at Lu Zhen, and he noticed something unusual: "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Zhen asked his daughter for help without tears. The daughter smiled slightly and asked him, "Yes, Lu Zhen, what kind of makeup does a grown man wear? Do you also want to be a girl?"
"I...you...!" Lu Zhen was speechless, pointing at Lu Yan, his face flushed: "It's not you..."
"I didn't do anything." Lu Yan stretched out her hands and expressed her innocence again and again: "I didn't do it!"
"It's you! It's obviously you who said..."
"I didn't say anything and I didn't do anything. Please don't accuse a good person unjustly."
Lu Jian rubbed his forehead and realized that this was another prank between children.
The two of them were fighting and arguing at home all day long, and it was probably Lu Yan who was playing tricks on his face while he was sleeping.
However, Lu Jian was an absolute slave to her daughter. She did not blame Lu Yan, but only told Lu Zhen: "After dinner, go and wash your face."
"Oh...ok."
Lu Zhen didn't expect to get through so easily. He looked at Lu Yan, who winked at him.
Understood, she deliberately defended herself, but Lu Jian thought it was a prank on her part and stopped going into details.
The muscles on Shi Xuexian's face twitched slightly.
She is not willing to accept it. After all, the relationship between father and son has warmed up during this period, which is definitely a great disadvantage to her. Now she will seize every opportunity to drive a wedge between father and son.
"You can't see it, Lu Zhen, your face..."
Before she finished speaking, Lu Yan chewed the steamed bun and said casually: "Grandma, you might as well take more care of Shi Ya at this time."
Shi Xuexian's face suddenly changed as if she had swallowed a fish bone, and she looked at Lu Yan: "What's wrong with Yaya!"
"Hey, you don't know yet that everyone in our school knows about her falling in love with Wu Tianhan."
"You...what are you talking about!"
Lu Yan shrugged and was speechless.
This made Shi Xuexian feel like a kitten scratching her heart, and asked Lu Yan again: "You said...who is she with?"
"I was just talking nonsense." Lu Yan refused to tell her.
Lu Zhen said casually: "Wu Tianhan, our school is ranked last. Last week I heard that the two of them kissed in the back row of the classroom while they were studying late at night."
His last note actually had a hint of Erhua, which almost made Lu Yan choke with laughter.
Shi Xuexian was as angry as a boiling kettle: "You...are you telling the truth?"
"Everyone in the school knows it." Lu Zhen said, "It has been spread for a long time. Hey, he is really good at playing."
Lu Jian glanced at him: "Why are you playing? I'll eat your food."
Shi Xuexian clutched the bowl tightly, her joints turned white, and her face became extremely ugly. Lu Jian did not comment on this. He never paid attention to Shi Ya. All his care and concern were tied to himself.
On a pair of children.
She glanced at Lu Yan angrily and felt deeply that this girl... was really going to kill her.
Is it the reincarnation of heaven? After she did that wrong thing, now she comes back to punish her?
…
In the evening, Lu Yan came to the Green Vine Bar according to the address Liang Ting gave her.
She heard that the girl her father had been chasing was singing in this bar. She was very curious and wanted to know what kind of girl her father was interested in this time.
The Green Vine Bar is not as smoky as other bars. On the contrary, the bar is relatively clean. Guests can sit at their booths and listen to music quietly, giving it the feel of a modern clean bar.
Lu Yan walked into the Green Vine Bar and immediately saw the girl sitting on the stage holding a guitar and playing.
She was wearing a light-colored turtleneck sweater and loose denim trousers, her hair fell down to her waist, and her figure was really good.
The light fell on her heavily made-up face. The moment Lu Yan saw her three-dimensional facial features clearly, all the blood in her body boiled!
When she was a child, she sneaked into her father's room countless times and secretly took out the small blue box on the bottom from the first cabinet next to the bed. The small box contained photos of her mother when she was young.
The photo was well kept by my father. Although it is slightly yellowed, my mother's voice and appearance when she was young can still be seen.
In the photo, her mother lies on Lu Zhen's back, letting him carry her, with her arms spread out as if flying, and her smile freezes at that moment, as beautiful as the first snow.
When she was a child, she wiped tears in front of the photos countless times. She didn't understand why other people had mothers, but she didn't.
Lu Zhen rarely tells her about his mother. Jian Yao is the deepest pain in his heart, which he cannot talk about and dare not talk about.
The girl on the stage seemed to have stepped out of the photo, standing in front of Lu Yan so vividly.
Lu Yan stood in the front row, looking at her with water in her eyes.
Of course, Jian Yao also noticed the girl standing under the stage. The look in her eyes showed deep and complicated emotions.
Jian Yao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She couldn't explain what it felt like. In short... it was strange that she felt an inexplicable affection for the little girl in front of her.
After the concert, Jian Yao's band went to the manager's office to collect their salary. When they came out, they saw the little girl sitting alone in the corner of the booth wiping tears.
She seemed to be crying.
"The salary has increased again, Mr. Jian, our band depends entirely on you." Qiao Nan walked over with a bass in her hand, her eyes shining, and she said excitedly: "Believe me, one day, you will become a star."
Jian Yao didn't seem to hear him and looked at Lu Yan absently.
Lu Yan wiped the corners of her eyes, feeling that she felt like a fool like this. Maybe she was timid about being close to home. She did not disturb Jian Yao like Lu Zhen did, and turned around and left the bar.
"Who are you looking at?"
Qiao Nan followed Jian Yao's gaze and saw only the girl's slender back.
Jian Yao didn't care, threw the guitar into her arms, and quickened her pace to catch up with Lu Yan.
Qiao Nan quickly hugged the guitar: "Young man eating, can you please be gentler! Hey... why are you running!"
He has never seen Jian Yao acting so impulsively.
Chapter completed!
