Lou Qi did not move, looking at the slices of meat on the chopsticks stretched out in front of him, his brows furrowed almost invisible.
An An kept looking at him expectantly with her dark and bright eyes, and then kissed his lips.
The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to say that his husband didn't like meat cooked in this way, but Lou Qi opened his mouth and ate the meat.
"How does it taste?" An An took back her chopsticks and bit them in her mouth, asking expectantly.
When Lou Qi saw her action, he was immediately choked and coughed slightly.
"Sir." The butler quickly handed him the napkin.
Lou Qi swallowed the meat, wiped the corners of his mouth gently, and said, "Not bad."
"Hehe, I just said it's delicious, let me have another piece." An An directly picked up another piece of meat with the chopsticks he had held in his mouth and handed it to him.
The servants on the side couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look at Lou Qi's expression. The gentleman had a mysophobia.
"An'an, you can eat it yourself!" Lou Qi looked away lightly, deliberately not looking at her.
"Eat, eat...I'll be sad if you don't eat." An An held out her chopsticks stubbornly. If she gave up so easily, she wouldn't be Long Mu'an.
"Uncle, let's eat... let's eat..." An An simply jumped down from the chair, lying on the table and looking at him pitifully.
"..."
Lou Qi really couldn't resist her, so he could only eat it. No one could refuse such a simple and beautiful child.
"Uncle, let the housekeeper and the sisters go out to eat. I will accompany you to eat from now on."
"An'an, this is the rule!" Lou Qi was not used to the current situation. He was used to being lonely. Most of the time, even if there were servants around him, he was more like a person.
"Oh, the rules can be changed. I don't like people watching me eat." An An's attitude was very firm, and she grabbed Lou Qi's hand and begged.
"..."
Lou Qi reluctantly withdrew his hand, waved his hand and ordered, "Everyone, get down."
"Yes, sir, please excuse me, sir." The butler left with the two maids.
Now An An is more like a rabbit out of the cage. There are no taboos at all. The rule of not talking when eating or sleeping is like a fiction to her. She sometimes sits on the left side of Lou Qi, sometimes sitting on the right side.
Chatting non-stop...
After eating, Lou Qi wanted to go upstairs, but An An directly grabbed him and asked, "Uncle, wait for me. I went to change my clothes. You go shopping with me. I am a guest and you are the host. When we arrive,
You didn’t even say you wanted to take me for a walk here...don’t you welcome me?”
"No!" Lou Qi was not good at words at first. His reticence for more than ten years seemed to have degraded his language skills, and he could not find more words to comfort her.
When An An heard this, she immediately laughed. She actually didn't need anyone else's comfort. "Then just wait for me. I'll go change my clothes and come down. You're not allowed to leave."
An An left like the wind. When she changed her clothes and came down, Lou Qi was still standing in the original position without moving.
"Uncle, why don't you go sit and wait for me in the living room?" An An looked at him with some confusion.
"Hehe... OK!" An An took his arm and pulled him out anxiously.
"Wow...it's so beautiful...Uncle...it's so beautiful here..." An An jumped and ran in front, sighing at the beautiful scenery around her, with a bright smile on her face.
Lou Qi had not seen such a smile for a long time.
It actually made him feel a little dazed...
He thought, if this child hadn't arrived suddenly, would he have turned into a wooden man?
More than ten years ago, even Reho, who had been by his side, asked him to move elsewhere. At that time, he did not want to see anyone or anything related to before.
"Uncle, these flowers are so beautiful. Can I pick some and put them back in the study?"
An An's cheerful voice brought Lou Qi back from his thoughts. He looked at the little girl squatting in the flowers not far away with a smile as bright as a flower. When he saw the flowers in her eyes, his eyes changed drastically, "An An, take your hands away!"
An An was startled by his reaction and quickly raised her little hand.
Lou Qi quickly came to her side, pulled her aside, held her little hand and inspected it carefully.
An An looked at his nervous look strangely and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This flower is poisonous! If you get hurt by it, you will be in danger." Lou Qi was relieved when he saw that there were no wounds on her little hands, but then he began to blame himself.
He was really careless.
"Poisonous?" An An looked at the purple flowers, a little regretful that such beautiful flowers were poisonous.
"Only this kind of flower is poisonous, so don't get close to it in the future." Lou Qi warned worriedly.
"Oh..." An An bit her finger, "Why is it still planted in the yard if it's poisonous? Uncle, get rid of it."
"..." Lou Qi looked at the flower in silence, then at An An's slightly uneasy little face, and finally nodded.
He must not let An An get hurt at all.
Otherwise, he would not be able to explain it to Nuan Xin.
"Uncle, you know that flowers are poisonous, why do you still get poisoned by them?" An An smiled again, tilting her head and asked in confusion.
"Let's go to the front. There is an olive grove in front. I often go there." Lou Qi did not answer and walked forward first.
An An quickly followed, and the two of them walked to the olive grove. An An looked at the short trunk, jumped up, and sat on the fork of the tree.
"Uncle, come up and sit here." An An patted the thicker branch next to her.
"You can play up there, I won't go up there." Lou Qi felt that he was too old and such childish behavior was too ridiculous.
"Come up here, I'm so bored up there alone. Come on, I'll pull you up." An An directly extended her hand to him.
"An'an, stop making trouble! You can play by yourself." Lou Qi didn't listen to her this time, and his tone was a little harsh.
An An's expression froze, and tears slowly began to accumulate in her big, beautiful eyes, threatening to burst out...
Lou Qi suddenly felt a headache, and it seemed that he had no reason to argue with this little guy, "Don't cry, I'll just go up there!"
Lou Qi directly grabbed the branch next to him and jumped up. His movements were neat and beautiful. Only then did An An retract his hand with satisfaction. In the blink of an eye, his face cleared up.
Lou Qi, "..."
I always feel like I'm being tricked by this little girl.
"What's in your bag?" Lou Qi had long noticed that she had a small cloth bag hanging sideways with her. It looked like it was hand-sewn. It wasn't pretty, but it was cute.
"This is the snack bag that my great-grandmother sewed for me... My great-grandmother loves me so much, but she and my great-grandfather are both gone... Uncle... I wonder what they should do?"
At this moment, An An really cried, her tears falling down, which made people feel very sad.
"Don't be sad... Although they are no longer here, their hearts are still with you... In fact, they haven't left, they just stayed with you in a different form." Lou Qi couldn't help but raise his hand and help her.
Go wipe your tears.
"Really?" An An looked at him nervously, as if she cared about his answer and believed in his words.
"Really!" Lou Qi nodded firmly.
"Uncle, thank you!" An An suddenly threw herself into Lou Qi's arms and hugged him tightly. Her tears couldn't stop falling. In order to prevent her parents, brothers and sisters from worrying about her, An An didn't dare to brag in front of them.
cry.
They are already very sad and need someone to comfort them, and they have no energy to comfort others anymore.
So she always cried secretly behind her back...
"..." Lou Qi patted her back gently, with a pleased smile on his lips.
The child's emotions came and went quickly. After crying for a while, she smiled happily again. She opened her small bag and took out a jelly from it and handed it to Lou Qi, "I treat you to jelly as a thank you."
Lend me your chest."
Lou Qi looked at the wetness on his chest and shook his head helplessly, "No, I won't eat this."
"Don't want to eat? Why, it's delicious! I'll open it for you!" An An felt that delicious food should be shared with the people you like, so when she was at home, she often gave delicious food to her parents, brothers and sisters.
But neither her brother nor her father appreciated her favor.
An An tore open the package and handed it to his lips. Lou Qi didn't know what was going on, but he just couldn't refuse her request. Looking at her expectant eyes, he really couldn't bring himself to say another word.
No word.
So he ate the first jelly in his life for the first time.
It's soft, qq, and has a light apple aroma...the taste really doesn't seem that bad.
"It's delicious, isn't it? I have a lot more here!" An An took out a pack of jelly and enthusiastically shared a few with him.
Lou Qi looked at the cute little jelly on his hand and smiled helplessly...
"Hey, uncle, you smiled...you look so beautiful when you smile." An An seemed to have discovered a great happy event, and she almost fell off the tree in surprise.
Fortunately, Lou Qi picked her up in time and saved her from the bad luck of falling down the tree!
An An stuck out her tongue in shock, turned around and smiled awkwardly at Lou Qi.
After returning to the villa, An An insisted on dragging Lou Qi to watch TV with her...
And it’s a cartoon!
Lou Qi could only take some work and stay with her until about ten o'clock in the evening. When Lou Qi raised his head, An An had fallen asleep on the sofa with snacks in his arms.
He shook his head helplessly, put down his work, walked to the sofa, reached for her snacks, picked her up and went back to the room.
"It's delicious..." An An clicked her mouth a few times, then found a comfortable position in his arms and continued to sleep.
Lou Qi slightly shook his head helplessly, thinking about eating in his dreams...
It’s so nice to be so carefree!
The next day, when Lou Qi woke up, he saw an enlarged little face appearing in front of him. This face had appeared in his dreams countless times...
[By the way, many people have opinions when writing about Lou Qi. In fact, you can think about it. With Lou Qi’s character and love for Nuan Xin, except for Nuan Xin’s daughter, he will never let anyone else be with him.
So An An was the only choice. When I planned to write it, I didn’t think too much about it. I just hoped that there would be someone who could bring him some happiness and make him no longer alone.】
