Chapter 164 Lu Xuanyao is missing
Seeing Lu Xuanyao just holding the chopsticks and not eating, He Shu frowned with heartache.
"What's wrong, Yaoyao? Still can't eat?"
"Hmm? Um.... Sorry mom, I still don't have much appetite right now."
Lu Xuanyao curled the corners of her mouth and was about to put down her chopsticks and go back to her bedroom.
"Your health is important, remember to eat."
The scene of Lu Yinghan advising her at noon suddenly popped into Lu Xuanyao's mind again.
The hand paused in mid-air, then picked up silently again.
"Yaoyao? You..."
He Shu looked at Lu Xuanyao in surprise as she picked up the chopsticks again.
His eyes were wide open.
He stood up happily, clenched his fists, and his face was flushed.
Lu Xuanyao swallowed her saliva, picked up the vegetables and chewed them in small bites.
It took me a long time to get used to the nausea and discomfort in my stomach and to finish eating a leaf of vegetable.
Taking advantage of the lingering scent, Lu Xuanyao immediately took a bite of rice to fill her stomach.
After doing this three or four times, she finally couldn't eat anymore.
"Mom...I can't eat anymore."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's already great!"
Comparing Lu Xuanyao's eating habits over the past few days, she really made a great progress today.
Even Lu Yu hadn't eaten yet. He was extremely shocked when he saw Lu Xuanyao only eat three or four bites.
What stimulated this?
Seeing that no one stopped her, Lu Xuanyao's heart was still surging.
She has a bold idea.
I returned to my room a little excited.
This time, Lu Xuanyao turned on the light in the room, no longer the dim little table lamp.
She took out her notebook, turned to the last page, took out a pen, and started writing quickly.
Even when it was time to go to bed, she didn't feel as sleepy as before, and now she was full of energy.
"In that case, I can also..."
Muttering to herself, Lu Xuanyao stroked the paper filled with her own densely written words.
The eyes that had been half open were now fully open and filled with stars.
In the next few days, Lu Xuanyao would force herself to eat more.
When faced with quarrels among her family members, she would not care as much as before. She would just take a few glances and then go back to her room.
Her energy was also growing.
These subtle changes were still noticed by Lu Yu.
One night, Lu Yu looked at Lu Xuanyao who was still forcing herself to eat.
His brows furrowed slightly.
"Yaoyao, what are you doing recently?"
The sharp and direct question made Lu Xuanyao's heart skip a beat, and the cold blood circulation made Lu Xuanyao's movements freeze.
"No, I haven't done anything. The school just asked us to do a group of test subjects recently, so I'm quite busy."
As he said this, he stuffed another mouthful of food into his mouth and chewed it tastelessly.
Even though she still felt nauseous and didn't want to eat, she still used the action of eating to respond to Lu Yu's question.
He looked at the uncomfortable Lu Xuanyao in confusion. This child has never been able to lie since she was a child, but now her eyes are shaking so obviously.
I feel so empty inside.
But there is no need to ask too much.
She couldn't do anything.
Seeing that Lu Yu stopped asking her questions, Lu Xuanyao breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took another bite, and hurried back to her room.
"call….."
After a long sigh of relief, Lu Xuanyao's heart was still beating fast.
"Brother Yu is too perceptive. If we delay any longer, he might find out."
Lu Xuanyao opened the closet and looked at her small backpack inside, which was filled with important things that she had collected over the past few days.
The small body squatted on the ground and was silent for a long time.
"Let's go tomorrow..."
The dispute between my father and my brothers has been going on these days. I don’t care about it, but I am still a little affected by it.
She didn't want to stay any longer, so she just left like her sister.
Thinking about this, she took out the bag from the closet, prepared some things as if she was going camping, and placed them on the desk.
The next day, it was still a little chilly even though it was a midsummer morning.
Lu Xuanyao's whole body was covered with goosebumps. She walked out of the house wearing a thin coat. On the coffee table at home was a note she had written.
"Mom, Dad, and my two brothers, I have made an appointment with my classmates to go out for practice. You don't have to worry."
The door closed heavily, and Lu Xuanyao was no longer seen...
"Miss? Why are you up so early?"
The housekeeper, who was trimming the grass in the garden, heard the sound and immediately turned his head to look at the door.
Lu Xuanyao looked at the housekeeper uncomfortably.
"Ah, I made an appointment with my classmates to go out for practice."
The butler opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat…
What kind of practice, starting at six in the morning...
But I'm just a worker, so I shouldn't know too much about the employer's family affairs.
"Okay, miss, how can I help you?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Just keep busy. I'm leaving soon."
Having said that, Lu Xuanyao hurriedly picked up the strap of her backpack and was about to walk out.
"Miss, I'll go get you a driver."
"No!"
The housekeeper put down the watering can and was about to call the driver to wake him up.
Lu Xuanyao panicked and interrupted the housekeeper's actions.
Walk out with big strides.
"We have to take the bus ourselves! We have to write it down."
Having said that, he fled out of the Lu family's gate, leaving the housekeeper standing there alone, unable to move or shout.
"Well, it seems that the young lady's school assignments are unusual."
Lu Xuanyao escaped from the Lu family and took a deep breath to calm her heart that felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
"Phew...Luckily the family didn't wake up so early. Dad must have slept late last night, and his sneakers are still in the shoe cabinet."
Relieved Lu Xuanyao did not choose to take the bus, but instead chose to walk through the woods next to the road full of surveillance cameras.
She knew the methods used by her family, so she tried her best to avoid being caught by the camera.
The mixed feeling of nervousness and excitement made Lu Xuanyao feel a little stomachache.
She stood there, her mind still confused.
After a long time, she took out a hat from her backpack, lowered the brim and covered her face.
Carefully walked into the woods, and disappeared...
At 8:30 in the morning, the people of the Lu family woke up one after another. By the time they had taken care of everything, it was already 9 o'clock.
When I came downstairs, I suddenly saw Lu Xuanyao's pink sticky note on the beige coffee table.
"Um?"
Lu Yu touched his stubble, frowned slightly and walked towards the note.
Looking at the words above, his sleepiness disappeared instantly.
This reminds me of Lu Xuanyao’s awkward acting last night.
Lu Yu's heart suddenly became uneasy.
I always feel like something is wrong...
