Lu Sheng turned on the stereo in the car, and the music that had been interrupted flowed out again, and his sad and helpless voice sang a heartbreaking tune.
"I can't forget tomorrow,
When all the sorrow comes to my heart again,
I once had you, but now I let you go
In this moment of separation, I should let you know
Let you know what you need to know."
He echoed softly to the beat, remembering every word clearly. Luo Xi once said that his pronunciation had a London accent, but he seemed dismissive. What's so good about a London accent? Isn't a Chinese accent better?
He originally didn't plan to learn it because she thought it was troublesome, but she always hummed in his ear like a puppy, and in the end, he gave in.
When she sang to the end, she lay on the table and stared at him seriously with her big innocent eyes. He asked: "What are you looking at? There are lyrics on my face?"
She shook her head, pointed to a sentence on the paper, and said word by word: "I-LOVE---YOU."
Even though he didn't understand much English, he still knew the meaning of this sentence and pretended not to know, "Is this sentence in the lyrics?"
She nodded firmly, "Yes, hurry up and repeat after me."
"I LOVE YOU"
He spoke smoothly, knowing clearly that these were the lyrics she made up, but he was willing because he liked to see her little proud smile.
When the phone rang, Lu Sheng recovered his thoughts and turned off the stereo.
"Lu, when will it be?"
"Soon."
"Waiting for you to start the dinner."
"Um."
At the Zhou family's villa, Tangxin had arrived a long time ago. The little guy was playing with the Zhou family's dog in the living room. When he saw Lu Sheng come in, he hurriedly abandoned the dog and trotted over, "Dad."
With that said, he started to climb up along Lu Sheng's legs.
Lu Sheng leaned over and picked her up, "Remember to wash your hands when eating."
"Know it."
"Commander of the Army, welcome." Zhou Pingchuan greeted him with a smile.
Lu Sheng nodded slightly, "Lu Sheng is a junior, Mayor Zhou just calls me by my name."
Zhou Pingchuan laughed and said, "If that's the case, then I won't be polite to you anymore. You, don't call me Mayor Zhou, it seems out of touch."
"Uncle Zhou."
"haha okay."
"Grandpa Zhou." Xiao Tangxin joined in the fun.
Zhou Pingchuan was very fond of this little one. He was beautiful and had a sweet mouth, and he looked like a big baby who could move.
"It's time to eat." Zhou Huiyi walked out of the kitchen with two plates of food, dressed like a housewife. She looked at Lu Sheng and said very naturally, "Lu, eat what you like."
Zhou Pingchuan spoke for his daughter on the side, "Xiaohui bought the groceries and cooked the food herself today. Lu Sheng, you have to taste it."
"My craftsmanship is not good, don't make me laugh." Zhou Huiyi took off her apron, pulled out the chair for Lu Sheng herself, and patted the child seat next to her, "Tangxin, come and sit next to Auntie."
"Auntie, I just played with the dog and I need to wash my hands." Tangxin raised her two little hands and jumped to the bathroom.
While the child was away, Zhou Pingchuan coughed twice and said proactively: "Lu Sheng, what do you think of my grandfather who makes candy cores?"
Lu Sheng remained calm, "In terms of seniority, if she calls you grandpa, she is actually your granddaughter."
"I mean, we become a family and her real grandpa."
He spoke so plainly that Lu Sheng could not pretend not to understand. To be precise, just last night, he came to this meal with this purpose.
Although Zhou Huiyi did not express her position, she nervously observed Lu Sheng's expression.
I saw him holding the red wine glass in his hand, as elegant as a noble gentleman, "Sorry, I'm not divorced yet."
