Lu Beicen's house has a structure of three bedrooms and two living rooms. Because it has a large terrace facing the lake, even if the price is slightly higher, Lu Beicen is still willing to spend more money to pay for it because he likes it.
Later, thanks to Jiang Yunjin's handiwork, Lu Beicen planted many flowers and plants on the large terrace after the decoration was refined and warm, making it feel like home. In midsummer, Jiuli incense exuded a strong aroma.
The wind on the lake brings the fragrance into the room, slightly cooling down the hot weather.
As soon as Lu Beihao and Jiang Zhongze entered the house, they smelled the fragrance. Lu Beihao threw the big bag in his hand on the cabinet in the entrance hall: "Sister, it turns out you like this fragrance. I wonder if there is such a fragrance among these perfumes."
Taste."
Lu Beicen turned on the air conditioner and said with some humor: "This is the scent of flowers blooming. It's on the terrace over there. You can do whatever you want. I'll get you some water to drink."
"Okay, don't worry about us. Let's take a look at your new house and close the windows. It's too hot."
Jiang Zhongze followed Lu Beihao, walked around the house, and finally came out of the study room to the terrace. He felt that this girl was quite interesting. The room with the best view was used as a study room. This study room still has one side.
The bookshelf on the long wall was still full of books. Jiang Zhongze asked Lu Beihao seemingly casually: "Does your sister like to use books as decoration?"
Lu Beihao was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said: "Brother Ze, your eyes are not very good this time. If you pick out any book on the bookshelf, I'm afraid there will be traces of reading it."
Jiang Zhongze did not actually go to take out a book from the bookshelf. Instead, he picked up the half-read Zizhi Tongjian on the desk and flipped through it. Sure enough, there was beautiful handwriting in it, and he wrote down occasional random thoughts.
"Brother Ze, let me tell you a joke. When my sister first came home, she was busy studying every day. My dad felt sorry for her, but he didn't know where he started to feel sorry for her. Knowing that she liked reading, he bought some complete sets of love books.
Novels, martial arts novels are back."
"My mother blamed my father for buying books like this so as not to distract my sister. My father said that my sister must change her mind. Otherwise, she would either do questions or memorize vocabulary words every day, and she would be suffocated.
Just because of this, the two of them had a quarrel. Later, I observed it for a long time and found that my sister's self-discipline is beyond the reach of most people. She reads ten pages a day, no more, no less. If you say how good the martial arts novel is, I will
I almost planted a bone-changing cotton palm..."
"Lu Beihao, you arranged for me to come out to drink water again."
"Sister, your study is very comfortable. Let's sit here and chat for a while, and you can come and take a rest." Lu Beihao poked his head out of the study and replied.
Lu Beicen put the water and fruit plate on the table in the study: "Okay, you can do whatever you want, I have to make dinner. It's too hot, how about some cold noodles in the evening?"
"Sister, you need to take a rest, the sun is still hanging in the west, don't worry."
"You have to go back later. It's an hour's journey, which is quite far."
"Sister, this place has changed a lot. Before we went out for spring outings, this place was still full of barren mountains and lowlands. By the way, Brother Ze, this place is quite close to the east gate of W University. I remember correctly, sister."
"Well, it's a twenty-minute drive around the lake. Why do you want to go to University W?"
"It's not me, it's Brother Ze, who will teach at W University in September as a visiting professor."
It's true that foreign monks are good at chanting sutras. For such a young visiting professor, Lu Beicen frowned. Jiang Zhongze looked at her expression and smiled and said, "What's wrong, Xiaobei, tell me what you have to say."
Lu Beicen smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, just, well, W University is pretty good..." She looked at the vague smile on Jiang Zhongze's face and had to continue to make up: "I mean, Mr. Jiang
He is really young and promising.”
"Xiao Bei, is there something behind his words? Are you worried that I won't be qualified?" Jiang Zhongze smiled, took a cup and took a sip of water. The aroma of Tieguanyin lingered on the tip of his nose, what a tea!
Lu Beihao interrupted: "Sister, I think it's strange to call me that name. Why don't you call me Brother Ze like me?"
Lu Beicen couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. You and I are brothers. Look at me, haha. She was too lazy to talk to Lu Beihao, and she didn't want to face Jiang Zhongze's scrutiny anymore. She turned around and walked towards the door and said: "
You guys sit down and I'll cook."
Jiang Zhongze looked at Lu Beicen's cover-up as if he was about to run away, and said with a smile: "Xiaobei has worked hard these two days, why don't we go out to eat tonight? Is there any better restaurant nearby?"
Lu Beicen wanted to send Jiang Zhongze away as soon as possible, and said quickly: "It's okay, I like to cook, you guys sit down."
"Is there anyone who likes to cook? It's just that when the chef comes home from get off work, the kitchen is the last place he wants to go." Jiang Zhongze said with a smile.
"My sister's two major hobbies in life are reading and cooking. She really likes cooking. She reads when she is happy and cooks when she is unhappy." Lu Beihao stuffed a piece of apple into his mouth and said.
"So, we are not very popular." Jiang Zhongze looked at Lu Beihao and said with a smile.
"Brother Ze, you are wrong again. My sister also has a big hobby, which is to watch me eat. The more delicious the food, the better." Lu Beihao's face was full of pride.
"Your sister's hobby is quite special."
"Nowadays, girls like my sister are really rare. They can't tell the difference between leeks and wheat. They grab a lot of them all over the street. Which big brand has released a new color of lipstick? What new style is released in the season?
Even if it is a very subtle difference, they know it clearly."
Jiang Zhongze raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems you can tell the difference between leeks and wheat."
"I can't tell the difference, but my sister can definitely tell the difference. What I mean is that my sister's life is very simple, so simple that it is difficult for ordinary people to figure it out and understand it." Lu Beihao had a faint smile on his face,
But his tone was very solemn, and his eyes looked at Jiang Zhongze firmly.
Jiang Zhongze was silent for a long time and pointed to the horizon beyond the lake outside the window, which was dyed red by the afterglow of the setting sun: "The lake from here is exactly the same as the one from the window in your house. They are both quite beautiful."
"Well, this house is affordable. No wonder my parents nodded. It's close to work and comfortable to live in. I think it's quite suitable for a girl to have such an independent space at her age."
The two of them watched the sunset for a long time. Jiang Zhongze suddenly changed the subject and said, "I don't know if there are any houses for sale in this community. I also think the environment is quite good."
Lu Beihao glanced at Jiang Zhongze and said nothing, but there was obviously a trace of displeasure in his eyes.
"Ah Hao, what are you thinking? I don't mean anything else. I just think the environment here is good. You also said it's very close to University W. Doesn't that suit my needs?"
Lu Beihao pursed his lips: "Brother Ze, I hope you won't disappoint me. My sister had a very difficult time when she was a child. I want her to live a peaceful and happy life in the future. Don't..."
Jiang Zhongze smiled and handed the cup of cold tea to Lu Beihao: "Drink some water, Ah Hao, you really think too much. I just think the environment of this community is quite good..."
