Lin Zheng picked up Lin Ziheng's mobile phone and said, "You guys should get closer."
Lu Sheng originally didn't want to take pictures, but Cui Dingtian spoke and he couldn't refuse. Tangxin stood happily beside Cui Dingtian, holding his chin with both hands, making a cute POS.
Cui Dingtian was holding her, with Lin Ziheng on his left and Lu Sheng and Zhou Huiyi on his right.
The moment Lin Zheng pressed the shutter, Zhou Huiyi leaned against Lu Sheng, hugged his arm with both hands, and smiled affectionately at the camera.
"Okay." Lin Zheng seemed to be in a hurry to leave and handed the phone to Lin Ziheng, "You all can play, I have something else to do, byebye."
"What big thing can this kid do?" Cui Dingtian shook his head, but still let Lin Zheng leave, "Come on, let's all have a meal."
At the dinner table, Lin Ziheng was lowering his head to pick up the food. Suddenly, the phone beside him vibrated slightly. After taking a look, he pulled out his chair and stood up, "Sorry, I'm going to make a call."
Turning around, the smile on the corner of his mouth was so obvious that even his eyes reflected a light similar to happiness.
Lu Sheng glanced at it calmly, lowered his head and continued to eat, but quietly clenched his palms under the table.
The text message was from Luo Xi.
"I want you to help find someone."
He asked: "Who is he from this city?"
"She was my father's former secretary. I want to find her. Maybe there will be some clues."
"Okay, send me the information."
"Well, thank you. Are you busy?"
"No, we just finished dinner, and a guest came to the house. By the way, you know this guest too." His slender fingertips slid on the screen, "We also took photos, do you want to take a look?"
"OK."
After drawing comics all morning, my eyes were sore and sore, and I wanted to find a chance to relax.
"Wait."
While waiting for him to send the photo, Luo Xi went downstairs to the kitchen. There were fresh ingredients in the refrigerator, which Aunt Zhang had just bought in the morning.
She took out the sashimi and paired it with fine scallops.
Lu Sheng likes to eat raw things, especially seafood.
There were many things in her heart that she wanted to ask him for confirmation. It seemed that everything pointed to a fact that she couldn't believe. Was everything Lu Sheng did because of her?
Is that because he still loves her?
This realization made Luo Xi panic, but she still had a strong expectation in her heart.
She was going to cook a sumptuous dinner, and then talked to him calmly. She was carefully selecting ingredients, including seafood and his favorite fungi.
After getting ready for the meal, she washed her hands and returned to the guest room. When she saw the mobile phone on the table, she remembered the photo that Lin Ziheng wanted to send.
Clicking on his text message, there was a picture and a message from him, "Am I on camera?"
The picture is still being received, and the green bar is slowly moving forward.
She was ready to laugh at him, but the moment she saw the photo, she was not even in the mood to joke.
He said that there were acquaintances of hers in it, and they were indeed very familiar. He was sitting on the sofa, looking calm, and beside him, the woman holding her had a sweet smile on her face. Such an intimate photo really looked like
It's a family.
He said he was going to a family gathering today, and it turned out to be this gathering. He brought candy cores but not her. That was because there was another person who was more suitable to sit next to him.
Luo Xi threw the phone aside, pressed her temples that were pounding, and secretly laughed and cursed her own stupidity.
Just now, she naively thought that he was still in love with her, but she didn't know that he was already paired with another woman.
Luo Xi, Luo Xi, no wonder he said you are naive. You are really naive, hopelessly naive.
The phone she had thrown away vibrated again. It must have been that Lin Ziheng sent her to inquire after seeing no reply for a long time.
Luo Xi took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the turbulent emotions, picked up the phone and went back, "I just went to the bathroom and saw that the photos were taken well. I will send you the information later. I am a little sleepy and want to sleep for a while."
"Okay, I'll pick you up from school tomorrow."
She was noncommittal and did not reply to the message.
*****
Tangxin had to go to bed at noon, so Lu Sheng didn't stay long. After dinner, he said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Cui Dingtian gave Tangxin a jade bracelet inherited from his family. Although Lu Sheng declined, Cui Dingtian insisted on it.
Yes, it seems that he really likes Tangxin. For Cui Dingtian, who has no children, the Lin brothers are his sons, and Tangxin is his granddaughter.
On the way back, Zhou Huiyi and Tangxin were sitting in the back seat. The little guy ate something salty and was yelling for water.
"There is no water in the car, I'm going to buy it." Lu Sheng parked the car at the entrance of a convenience store, then jumped out of the car to buy water.
Tangxin was playing with the red panda on his clothes and talking to himself from time to time.
After sitting for a while, Zhou Huiyi lowered her head and asked her: "This dress is so beautiful. Did your father buy it?"
Tangxin shook his head.
"Tangxin, do you like Aunt Zhou?"
"I like it." Tangxin raised his head and smiled at her, "I like Aunt Zhou."
"Can Auntie Zhou be your mother?"
Tangxin thought for a while and shook his head.
Zhou Huiyi was a little confused, "Don't you like Aunt Zhou? Why can't you let Aunt Zhou be your mother? Are you afraid that Aunt Zhou can't take care of you?"
"Because Tangxin already has a mother." Her answer was crisp and affirmative, with a hint of sweetness in her smile.
Zhou Huiyi was a little shocked, and just as she was about to ask more questions, Lu Sheng had already opened the car door. He bought a bottle of room-temperature mineral water, then unscrewed the cap and said, "Tangxin, come here."
Tangxin immediately moved her buttocks in front of him, held the bottle and took a big sip.
"Okay, let's drink it when we get home."
The water was a little cold, so Lu Sheng didn't let her drink too much. He squeezed the water and put it in the back seat of the car.
Tangxin drank some water and fell asleep soon after. Zhou Huiyi covered her with clothes and looked at the man driving the car, "I just learned a dish that you like. Can I go to your house to cook it for you tonight?"
"I have something to do tonight. Let's call some of them some other time. We all want to eat your cooking."
He rejected her easily and without any flaws.
Zhou Huiyi felt a little sour in her heart. She had never been to his house in Yuqiao. She heard that the decoration style was the same as the house here, and even the door code was the same.
That place was his private territory, to be precise, Tangxin's private territory. He protected her territory and wouldn't let anyone get close to it, including her.
The car stopped in front of Zhou Huiyi's house, and he said, "Thank you today."
"Why are you so polite to me?"
Mr. Cui has been trying to bring them together. In order to avoid causing trouble, Lu Sheng would always bring Zhou Huiyi with him on such occasions. There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two. Lu Sheng was completing a task to prevent Mr. Cui from being angry with him again.
He taught earnestly, and Zhou Huiyi was willing to cooperate with him and enjoy herself.
But as soon as she heard Tangxin's words, Zhou Huiyi became completely uneasy.
She wanted to know, who was the mother Tangxin mentioned?
