Luo Xi was having dinner with Qin Pei, chatting and laughing.
Lin Ziheng's arrival made her smile freeze, and she picked up the rice bowl and stood up, "I'll serve the rice."
"Did you make the girl unhappy?" Qin Pei winked at him like an naughty old boy, "If a girl wants to coax her, it depends on your ability."
"Don't worry, Master." Lin Ziheng put down his backpack and followed him into the kitchen. His back was turned to his figure with a cold face, and he had a tough attitude of keeping away from strangers.
"Roxi, are you angry with me?"
She filled up two spoonfuls of rice but didn't respond.
"If you are angry, I apologize to you."
She said lukewarmly: "I can't bear Mr. Lin's apology."
"Don't be like this, can we have a nice talk?" He took her arm, his expression serious.
"Then let's talk about it." Luo Xi put the bowl in his hand on the cooking table, "Tell me first, what is your relationship with Lu Sheng?"
He thought for a moment before answering, "We used to be comrades-in-arms. At that time, he was the captain of the feared 'Ghost Troopers' in the special forces, and I was the deputy."
"You already knew about our relationship, right?"
That's why he said that day that he didn't care about her past, he only wanted her present and future.
He nodded, "Yes, because I checked you."
"Because of the grudge between you and Lu Sheng, you deliberately called me to your birthday party and then acted like you were intimate, just to show Lu Sheng, right?" At this point, her eyes were completely cold.
.
Lin Ziheng hurriedly denied, "No, it's not what you think. None of what I said to you that day was false, nor was it a show. Although I wanted to make Lu Sheng angry, that was my previous plan.
I just want to have you by my side on my birthday, Luo Xi, please believe me, I am definitely not taking advantage of you."
She looked away, "How do you want me to believe you?"
He thought for a while, then took out a chain from his pocket, "This, I've been carrying this with me and want to give it back to you."
"Why is it at your place?" Seeing this jade pendant, Luo Xi was surprised and happy. She didn't expect that her mother's relics were lost and recovered. She held it in her hand as if she was holding her mother's weak hope. She put it in her hand before leaving.
He handed the necklace to her and told her: "Never take it off."
"I picked it up." He took advantage of the situation and held her hand. "Whether you believe it or not, I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you. Others call it love at first sight, but I think that
It's fate."
Luo Xi felt the warmth of his palms, and his breath was like a spring breeze. She did not refuse his embrace. He put his arms around her shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief, "Ro Xi, I'm very scared. I'm afraid that you will really ignore me."
Me."
"Why are you ignoring you? The shooting gallery project is not over yet."
He laughed and said, "Can I think this is a cold joke?"
Lin Ziheng took the initiative to take her job, "If you forgive me, let me eat."
Luo Xi took the bowl out of his hand and said angrily: "There is still rice in the pot anyway, you can eat it if you want."
"Then you forgive me?"
"I didn't say that."
When practicing in the evening, Lin Ziheng seemed to be deliberately looking for a fight. He was always passive. Luo Xi was not polite. At first, he used Tai Chi and soft boxing to fight him, but later he directly used Taekwondo. Lin Ziheng dodged and stepped back.
Basically, he just received a beating without fighting back, deliberately letting her vent her anger.
Luo Xi felt that it was boring. He wanted to end it with a backspin kick, but unexpectedly he was unprepared or was being beaten sincerely. Luo Xi's kick hit him in the head. Although he blocked it with his arm, he was still beaten.
After receiving a solid kick, something jumped out of his hair, bounced on the ground a few times and then landed in front of Luo Xi. The scene suddenly stopped.

"Have you ever sat on the roof and looked at the stars?" Lin Ziheng stood on the ladder and turned around to pull her.
The two of them climbed up the ladder to the roof. Even the sky in the courtyard house in the suburbs was brighter than in the city. On a clear night, the sky was full of stars.
"That's the Big Dipper, that's the Vega." Luo Xi pointed to the sky and accurately identified every well-known constellation. Lin Ziheng followed his gaze and said quietly: "Will you dislike me?"
She had tried her best to avoid this topic, and she pretended that she had not seen what she just saw, but Lin Ziheng still brought it up.
He skillfully put the hearing aid on his ears, and let his hair hang down, perfectly covering the two flaws. "If I don't wear this, I can't hear any sound. Even if I wear it, I still have to rely on others."
Use the shape of your mouth to determine what the other person said."
Therefore, when he talks to someone, he always looks at the other person's eyes. In fact, he is observing the mouth shape. Several times in the past, she talked to him when he lowered his head, but he didn't hear it. She thought it was him.
The reason for being too focused.
"How did you do this?" This topic was a bit heavy, and she tried to act as if nothing had happened, not wanting to hurt his self-esteem.
"When I was a soldier, I was once besieged by the enemy. Although I escaped, my ear was injured. I later had several operations, but the effect was not obvious. I was not used to it at first, because the world without sound was so confusing.
It's like watching someone else's silent movie, you can't hear the sounds of nature, you can't hear your favorite music, it's very quiet, terrifyingly quiet." When he talked about this, his eyes were covered with a thick layer of loneliness, as if he was...
I remember those most difficult years.
Luo Xi patted his hand gently, and he clasped it back and brought it into his arms, "You haven't answered me yet, do you think you dislike me for being a cripple?"
Luo Xi shook his head and pointed to the sky, "Just like these stars, which one is smooth and complete, but they are still shining. The brightest one is not necessarily the most perfect, don't you think so?"
"Then which star am I?" he asked with a smile.
"White Fang Pig Star."
"White Fang Pig Star? Which one is that?" He really looked for it in the sky.
Luo Xi smiled secretly on the side. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by this little woman, so he took her hand and put it in his mouth and took a bite, "You stinky girl, you dare to trick me."
"Oh, why are you biting?"
"The one who bites you."
"The white-toothed pig has bitten someone." She tried to run away, but he grabbed her into his arms. She looked at her helplessly, and the stars fell into her eyes, shining brightly. He stared at her eyebrows seriously.
, "Roxi, do you want to try to accept me? I'm serious."
She looked at him for a while, then finally looked away, "I..."
"No matter what you are afraid of, I will never give up, so give me a chance. If you regret it, I can let you leave at any time."
She thought about it for a long time and said, "Let me think about it."
"Okay, I won't force you, but I will always wait for you."
That night, they watched the stars on the roof and talked a lot about each other's past until late into the night.
