Cheng Lu's words stopped me again. I was stunned for a long time and then said to her: "Why do you ask that?"
"No, I just want to know what type of woman Dashan likes." After she finished speaking, she lowered her face shyly.
I reached out and touched her hair, and said with a smile: "You are still so young, don't think about this all day long."
"But I just want to know! I want to know what Brother Dashan likes?"
"I like"
Cheng Lu immediately tilted her head, as if she was looking forward to it.
I looked at her and said with a smile: "Lulu, you are too cute. Do you really want to know that much?"
"Yeah, I really want to."
It seemed that I couldn't stop talking today. After being silent for a while, I finally said to her: "I like sexy and good-looking things."
"Ah!?" Cheng Lu suddenly looked surprised.
I was teasing her, so I smiled and said, "What? If I tell you the truth, don't you believe it?"
Cheng Lu shook her head and said, "Brother Dashan, did you lie to me? How could it be so simple!"
I spread my hands and said, "It's that simple! What man doesn't like good-looking women? Even your brother also likes good-looking women. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Cheng Lu puffed out her cheeks, looking particularly cute, as if she was thinking about something.
After a while, she asked me again: "Do I look good?"
"You," I said with a smile, deliberately dragging my voice, "you are quite cute."
She suddenly looked unhappy again, pursed her lips and said, "That means it doesn't look good?"
I was really dumbfounded. I reached out and touched her little head again and said, "What are you thinking about all day long? Don't think about this. You should be focusing on studying now."
Cheng Lu didn't say anything more. When we got home, we made a fire to cook.
While eating, Cheng Lu suddenly said to me again: "Brother Dashan, why don't you go to sleep in the fields tonight, okay?"
"What's wrong? Are you scared at home alone?"
She nodded slightly, and then said in a low voice: "Last time I came back from the city with you, I always had nightmares and I was scared."
I suddenly remembered the last time I took Cheng Lu to the city, she was almost insulted by Professor Qin.
This incident was indeed due to my carelessness. Although Professor Qin did not succeed, it still left a deep mark on her young mind.
I suddenly blamed myself, sighed softly and said, "Lulu, I was negligent last time. This matter has passed. Let's not think about it, okay?"
She nodded and said coquettishly: "But I still have nightmares. Brother Dashan, why don't you go to the fields tonight?"
I nodded heavily and replied, "Okay, I'll sleep at home tonight."
She finally nodded happily, then put a piece of meat into my bowl and said, "Brother Dashan, eat more."
After dinner, we sat in the courtyard together and dazed. This is something I must do after dinner every night.
Cheng Lu also likes to sit next to me, even if she doesn't say a word, she just sits quietly for a while.
I enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation. I leaned back on the chair, closed my eyes, slowed down my breathing, and completely relaxed myself.
Cheng Lu, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "Brother Dashan, when I went to look for my brother last night, I saw you and that beautiful sister together."
I opened my eyes suddenly, looked at her for a moment, and asked her, "Did you see me with her?"
She nodded but said no more.
My heart immediately thumped, wondering if she had even seen it?
I was stunned again and asked her, "What else did you see?"
"It's nothing. When I saw you, you just yelled at her, and then you turned around and left."
Hearing this, I took a deep breath. It seems that she didn't hear what An Lan and I said before.
I nodded and finally said to her: "Yes, she kept saying things I didn't want to hear, so I asked her to stop talking."
"But Brother Dashan, I don't think it's that simple?"
Cheng Lu paused and then said: "After you left, I saw her squatting on the ground alone, and then started crying. What on earth are you doing?"
I knew that An Lan must have been disappointed at that time, and I also knew that she cried.
I sighed heavily and said, "It's nothing, so don't ask."
After Cheng Lu was silent for a moment, she suddenly said: "Brother Dashan, does she like you?"
I turned to look at her and said with a serious face: "Stop thinking nonsense. I have only known her for a short time, how can I like her?"
"But she won't cry for no reason? You won't yell at her for no reason? Brother Dashan, I'm not stupid, I know it."
I suddenly became angry and said louder: "What's going on with you today? I don't want to talk to you about these things. Can you please just be quiet?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Brother Dashan, I was wrong." She immediately apologized to me, then bit her lips and stopped talking.
I lit a cigarette distractedly, and Cheng Lu stood up and said to me: "Brother Dashan, I was really wrong. Don't be angry. I'm going to bed. You can go to bed early."
After saying that, she turned around and went back to the house.
I continued to sit on the chair, smoking a cigarette and staring at the night sky in a daze.
My thoughts are still very confused. It seems that ever since I found out my true identity, my thoughts are not as pure as before.
Including Cheng Lu, until An Lan appeared, she was always by my side asking questions that were difficult for me to answer.
In the final analysis, which part went wrong?
After sitting alone outside for a while, I was ready to go back inside and sleep.
But at this moment, I heard a nervous voice coming from Cheng Lu's room.
"No, don't come over! Don't come over!"
Then there was a scream, and I almost instinctively rushed to Cheng Lu's room.
"Lulu, what's wrong with you? Lulu"
As soon as I rushed into her room, I saw her sitting on her bed, breathing heavily, her expression seemed to be frightened.
"Lulu, what's wrong with you?" I frowned and walked towards her.
She looked up at me with tears in her eyes and choked with sobs and said, "I have a nightmare, Brother Dashan, I'm scared!"
It seems that what happened last time really left a deep impression on her. Looking at her like this, I really blame myself.
I walked to her bedside and looked at her softly. In order to increase the comfort, I gently held her hand.
I said to her: "Lulu, don't be afraid, everything has passed, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. Brother Dashan will definitely protect you, for sure!"
Cheng Lu's mood fluctuated for a moment, and she looked up at me, tears glistening in her eyes again.
She suddenly jumped up from the bed, rushed towards me, and hugged me tightly.
