After handling Qin Pei's funeral affairs, Luo Xi took the wool ball back.
These days, it has been losing its appetite. It is not interested in anything Tangxin and Feichen feed it. It occasionally sticks out its tongue to lick it twice and then shrinks its head again.
"Brother, if the yarn ball doesn't eat, will it starve to death?"
"It may be in a bad mood, give it some milk."
Feichen brought a bowl of milk, Yarnball smelled it, and finally lowered his head and started to drink.
Tangxin clapped her little hands happily, "Yarling ball, please be good. A dog that doesn't eat is not a good dog."
Luo Xi was resting on the sofa. When she heard that the woolen ball was willing to eat, her eyebrows relaxed a lot. This dog was the only thought Qin Pei left for her, but she couldn't let it die too.
"Xixi, you should eat some too. You have lost weight these days." Mother Lu made some porridge and brought it to her after it cooled down.
Luo Xi hurriedly stood up and took it in her hand, "Thank you, Mom."
She wasn't hungry at all, but the old man was trying so hard to make her happy, but she still insisted on finishing the porridge.
Mother Lu watched her eating porridge and said happily: "That's right. If Brother Qin knew that you were sad for him without eating or drinking, he would also leave uneasily."
Luo Xi smiled and put down the bowl, "Mom, where is Lu Sheng?"
"I went upstairs as soon as I came back. It seemed like I had some official business to do."
He has been very busy recently. He hurried back from the army to deal with Qin Pei and took care of his funeral. He just finished his work here and had to deal with things there.
"Mom, is there any more porridge? I'll order it for Lu Sheng."
"Yes, I'll go get it."
Luo Xi held the tray in one hand and knocked gently on the door.
"Come in."
He was standing by the window talking on the phone, with one hand casually in his pocket. Perhaps because of the light, he looked much thinner.
She suddenly thought of the time she went to his villa to beg him. He seemed to be holding the phone in the same posture. So much time had passed in the blink of an eye, and so many things had happened in the meantime that she even forgot that they had ever been together.
Four years of separation.
Four years is too long for a woman's youth.
Luo Xi put the tray on the desk, regardless of whether his phone call was very important. She gently hugged his waist and buried her face in his arms. The breath on his body was clean and mature, which was the best for her.
Tranquilizer.
Lu Sheng gently stroked her hair, expressing silent comfort and intimacy.
"Don't worry, I will go on this mission myself."
There was a sound leak on the phone, and she vaguely heard a magnetic male voice, "Everything is about safety and national interests."
Luo Xi guessed that the other party had a good background and must be Lu Sheng's superior, either Cui Dingtian, or he had a higher official rank than Cui Dingtian.
She had no intention of asking, Lu Sheng had already hung up the phone, "Why don't you go and rest?"
"Mom made porridge, you should drink some too."
"I won't drink anymore. I have to have a meeting. You go to bed early and stop crying, okay?"
She nodded slightly, "Xiaochen and Tangxin are about to start school. I'll buy some stationery for them tomorrow."
"Don't you need to rest for two days before going?"
"I'm fine. By the way, I want to donate the master's house to the orphanage. He has no children. I think this should be his wish."
"Okay, I'll let Fan Kai do it."
"Lu Sheng." She hugged him tighter, clutching his clothes tightly with her two delicate hands, "You must seek justice for the master and bring the murderer to justice."
He patted her hand and said, "I will."
"Drink the porridge. You haven't eaten anything all day. It's just a few minutes. It won't delay your meeting."
Unable to resist her kindness, he kissed her face and said, "I'll drink."
The next morning, Luo Xi went to the mall to buy stationery for the two young children. It was almost time to start school for both elementary and junior high schools, and the stationery area was full of parents with their children.
Luo Xi stood in front of the shelf and selected paper books alone, while in the living area not far away, Zhou Huiyi and Mrs. Zhou were buying daily necessities.
Zhou Huiyi was obviously absent-minded, picking up something at random and throwing it in the shopping cart.
"You kid, what is this?" Mrs. Zhou hurriedly took out the things she threw in. It turned out that she threw in two boxes of condoms without even looking at them.
"You girl, are you crazy about men? Lu Sheng has a wife and children, why can't you be more open-minded and hang yourself from this tree? That Lu Sheng is not a good person, even though he knows you like him so much
He is still so indifferent to you."
Zhou Huiyi smiled bitterly, "If I'm not indifferent, how can I still have a concubine?"
"Since you know this truth and still think about him all day long, what do you really want?"
Zhou Huiyi stopped talking, her eyes drifting away distractedly.
"Don't run." Suddenly there was a panic shout from the front, Zhou Huiyi's mind wandered, and she was hit hard by the oncoming little thing. Her stomach hurt from the hit, and the little thing sat on the ground with a plop.
Shi Zheng stared at her with a pair of bright and narrow eyes.
Zhou Huiyi was suddenly stunned when she saw these eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." A middle-aged woman hurriedly ran over to apologize, "The kid ran around, didn't he hurt you?"
Mrs. Zhou looked at the shabby clothes of the mother and son, and immediately looked disgusted, "Watch your children, you can't afford to bump into someone with a proud body and a rich body."
"Yes, I will definitely be optimistic about him next time."
Just as the woman was about to leave with her child, Zhou Huiyi suddenly stalked after her, "Wait a minute."
The woman thought she wanted to hold them accountable, and immediately turned pale with fright.
Zhou Huiyi knelt down and looked at the little boy in front of her carefully, "Is this your son?"
"No, I am the teacher of the orphanage, and these are the children of our orphanage." The woman used the name of the orphanage to try to gain sympathy.
Zhou Huiyi was overjoyed, "Can I adopt him?"
The woman and the little boy were stunned at the same time.
Mrs. Zhou shouted hurriedly: "Huihui, are you crazy? You, a yellow-flowered girl, want to adopt such a big child?"
Zhou Huiyi seemed not to hear at all, her eyes were completely attracted to the little boy, "Mom, don't you think he looks like a person?"
"Who does it look like?" After hearing her words, Mrs. Zhou looked at her carefully, and soon her eyes widened, "Lu Sheng?"
This child's facial features are really similar to Lu Sheng's, especially his eyes, which are dark and deep, like two obsidian stones hidden in the deep sea.
"Huihui, just because this child looks like Lu Sheng, you want to adopt him? Crazy, really crazy, you are obsessed with Lu Sheng." Mrs. Zhou was anxious and angry. Since Zhou Huiyi's accident,
Her dependence on Lu Sheng continued to grow, and the most common thing she did was to hold up Lu Sheng's photos and look at them for a long time, often still giggling infatuatedly.
