Chapter 90
Not all apologies are responded to.
So was Wen Ningshu's belated apology.
Su Xingyao just said take care and ran towards the car in the dark night.
After getting in the car, Su Xingyao quickly rubbed her frozen fingers.
Lu Jiuxu, who had already seen through everything, inadvertently glanced in the direction of Wen Ningshu, but when he looked back, the displeasure and sharpness in his eyes had gradually disappeared.
He did not take the initiative to inquire about this matter.
On the contrary, Su Xingyao treated it as an insignificant chat and took the initiative to talk to Lu Jiuxu about it.
"I just ran into Wen Ningshu when I came out. Her phone fell and I helped her pick it up."
Su Xingyao didn't say anything and felt there was nothing worth mentioning.
Lu Jiuxu also replied calmly, "No wonder your hands are frozen."
"It's really cold outside."
After saying that, Su Xingyao muttered, "I should have gone to the garage with you earlier."
Seeing that Su Xingyao was not unhappy or affected by the mention of Wen Ningshu, Lu Jiuxu's originally violent aura also subsided a lot.
He lowered his head and turned up the heat a little more.
Soon, Su Xingyao's face and fingers, which had been chilled by the cold wind, felt much warmer.
He glanced out the window, but there was no one in the mirror. Looking at the dark night, his eyes suddenly became warm.
Su Xingyao looked at Lu Jiuxu with a smile on her face.
"She came to apologize to me, but what I thought of at that time was the scene when I fell off the cliff last year..."
Su Xingyao continued, "I'm very grateful and lucky that you were there at that time."
Time is the best medicine to heal wounds.
Now when she talks about the scene of that day, all the pain that Su Xingyao's family brought to her has almost been forgotten.
To him, all the things that happened in the past seemed to have happened a long, long time ago.
But as the painful memories of the past faded, Lu Jiuxu seemed so different to him.
"If you hadn't saved me, I might have really died."
In fact, Su Xingyao knew very well that he was indeed dead after Wen Ningshu hung up the phone.
But later he was reborn and returned to the moment when Lu Jiuxu saved him.
It was also because of Lu Jiuxu's timely appearance that he was given a new life.
Otherwise he would still be trapped at the bottom of the mountain.
Lu Jiuxu didn't say anything, but just listened to Su Xingyao quietly.
Because of Chu Zian's incident during this period, everyone knew that Su Xingyao fell off a cliff.
Although Su Xingyao downplayed it in the show.
But having witnessed the tragic situation with his own eyes, he knew better than anyone how much pain Su Xingyao was in at that time.
If Su Xingyao hadn't brought it up on her own initiative, he would never want to let her recall such a painful memory again.
So he never mentioned this matter in front of Su Xingyao.
But today the other party suddenly brought it up.
Although the tone was very calm, it still made Lu Jiuxu feel heartbroken.
Lu Jiuxu waited quietly until Su Xingyao finished speaking before speaking.
However, he directly denied the possibility mentioned by the other party.
"No."
Lu Jiuxu's eyes were as firm as the tone of his voice.
He said, "I will definitely save you."
And I will definitely be the one to rescue you.
Even if it takes everything.
Lu Jiuxu took a deep look at Su Xingyao, who was intact.
He actually never told the other party.
Because before this, he himself hadn't figured it out.
But now he is extremely clear.
There are no ifs between him and Su Xingyao.
Those professional medical equipment that he had prepared for a rainy day at home at a great expense...
Those places where he met each other seemingly by accident.
In fact, these have always existed in his subconscious since he was born.
There was a voice in the dark constantly warning him.
In this life, I must save someone at all costs.
He couldn't miss it.
At first, he thought it was just a coincidence.
But now he finally understood.
It seemed as if everything he did was to enable himself to save Su Xingyao that day.
To be precise, it was to save the person whom he could not afford to lose in this life.
Su Xingyao is the obsession in his subconscious mind.
Lu Jiuxu turned his gaze to the people around him.
At this moment, the other person's face is rosy, lively and cute.
He was no longer the pale-faced, blood-soaked person he was when we first met, as if he would never be able to stay with him again in the next second...
*
Wen Ningshu's visit and apology did not cause much waves in Su Xingyao's heart.
Since they were already strangers, he wouldn't feel heartbroken about it anymore.
On the contrary, what Lu Jiuxu said before had a greater impact on him.
Although the other party seemed calm, he could feel Lu Jiuxu's emotional fluctuations.
It can also be heard that the other party has obviously not finished speaking.
After returning home, Su Xingyao originally wanted to ask the other party, but unexpectedly, the other party stopped her first.
"Why didn't you draw the red envelopes from the annual meeting today?"
During the annual meeting tonight, the company held a red envelope drawing activity with corresponding various rewards.
Everyone in the company participated and won many prizes, big and small.
The luckiest person even won a prize of 100,000 yuan.
When Lu Jiuxu suddenly asked about this, Su Xingyao pretended to be confused and smiled, and said vaguely, "I was so busy watching the fun that I forgot about it..."
Obviously this lie was easily exposed.
So when he finished speaking and looked at Lu Jiuxu who was staring at him motionlessly, he finally confessed immediately.
"Well, I'm just used to it..."
I'm used to being an insignificant spectator in the midst of other people's excitement.
If you get used to it, good luck will never come to you.
After hearing these words, Lu Jiuxu reached out and gently touched Su Xingyao's hair, and the pity in his eyes could not be suppressed.
Then he asked the other person in a low voice.
"Want to smoke again?"
Su Xingyao shook her head, "I've already missed it..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Jiuxu take out a stack of red envelopes from his coat like magic.
The other person's dark pupils were filled with his own shadow, and the tone of his voice when he spoke next was also extremely gentle.
He asked Su Xingyao, "Have you ever heard of this saying?"
Su Xingyao quietly waited for the other party's next words.
"Put money of different denominations in these red envelopes. Whoever can draw the lucky red envelope with the most money will have good luck for the whole year."
Lu Jiuxu's voice was as gentle as a spring, tempting Su Xingyao to sink deeper and deeper.
He handed the red envelope to Su Xingyao and said, "The highest denomination here is 200 yuan. Do you want to try it?"
Su Xingyao hesitated for a moment.
"I've never had any luck."
After saying that, he glanced at the handsome man in front of him.
Obviously wanted to refuse.
But because it was Lu Jiuxu's invitation, he felt that he had no way to refuse.
"There's a good chance I'll get the worst one."
Su Xingyao had already prepared for the worst in her mind.
After teasing himself with a gentle smile, his eyes finally fell on the red envelope in Lu Jiuxu's hand.
After looking over the red envelope several times, Su Xingyao chose carefully.
Seriously like an innocent and cute little kid.
Su Xingyao's fingers tapped back and forth on the red envelopes several times, and finally, after reciting the formula for several hours, she selected the seventh red envelope.
"That's it."
Su Xingyao picked up the red envelope with a smile.
Although he said that his luck was not very good, his eyes were still full of anticipation for the unknown.
Carefully opening the red envelope, Su Xingyao took out the money bit by bit.
Then, two bright red banknotes appeared in front of him.
Su Xingyao's eyes lit up and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
"two hundred?"
Su Xingyao couldn't believe it.
The man in front of him smiled and nodded.
"Yes, it's two hundred."
Su Xingyao suddenly felt as if she had received the best gift in the world, and her whole body exuded a happy aura.
"Won't that mean I'll have good luck for the whole year ahead?"
"yes."
I don't know when the heavy snow started falling outside the window.
However, Lu Jiuxu looked at Su Xingyao across the snow and told him firmly.
"Su Xingyao, you will always have good luck."
*
After receiving this lucky red envelope, Su Xingyao had sweet dreams that night.
Two days after this beautiful snowfall, it is one of the most important annual festivals for Chinese people - the Spring Festival.
On New Year's Eve, Su Xingyao hung all kinds of lanterns in the yard.
Perhaps it was because I felt the festive atmosphere.
When Su Xingyao was hanging lanterns, Luo Ri also came over to join in the fun.
However, when it came, it brought a "gift" for Su Xingyao in its mouth.
There are several red envelopes.
Su Xingyao looked at the familiar cover and recognized at a glance that the thing Luo Ri was holding in his mouth was the remaining red envelope that Lu Jiuxu had asked him to draw that night.
He picked up Luo Ri, rubbed his head, and asked him, "Did you secretly go through Mr. Lu's things again?"
I don’t know what’s wrong with Luo Ri lately, but he particularly likes to look through things.
When it heard Su Xingyao ask it this, it whimpered innocently.
Su Xingyao smiled and did not blame him. After taking the remaining nine red envelopes from Luo Ri's mouth, she thought about returning them to him later.
Just as he was holding the red envelope in his hand, for some reason, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
Then he picked up one of the red envelopes and opened it.
After opening it, I found two hundred yuan inside.
Looking at the two hundred yuan, Su Xingyao quickly opened another one.
There are still two hundred inside.
After that, Su Xingyao opened the remaining seven red envelopes one by one.
Not surprisingly, all the money inside was two hundred.
Looking at the neatly stacked two hundred yuan, Su Xingyao recalled what Lu Jiuxu had said to him that night.
So the other party didn’t put any money of different denominations at all.
From the very beginning, all the money Lu Jiuxu put down was 200 yuan.
Because only in this way, no matter which red envelope you draw, it will be the one with the largest denomination.
And the one who draws the red envelope will always have the best luck.
For myself who has bad luck.
All Lu Jiuxu prepared for him from the beginning to the end were blessings.
Looking at these red envelopes filled with blessings, Su Xingyao collected them all.
Su Xingyao suddenly saw through Lu Jiuxu's tricks, but she didn't say anything.
He simply took out his cell phone and changed the other party's note to Lu Dog (limited deceptive edition).
*
After Aunt Zhang and others prepared the ingredients, they went home early for the New Year reunion.
So at night, only Su Xingyao and the two Lu brothers were left in the huge villa.
Su Xingyao and Lu Jiuxu cooked dinner together.
The dishes were simple, but it was the most heartwarming and lively meal Su Xingyao had ever had in all these years.
After dinner, no one chose to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Lu Zhiyun was one of those people who couldn't sit still, so he suggested that Su Xingyao go out with him to set off fireworks.
"Let's go to the mountain to set off fireworks. I bought a lot."
Su Xingyao seldom sets off fireworks, but she likes to watch them. When she heard Lu Zhiyun's suggestion, she felt very excited.
The two hit it off immediately, and then Lu Zhiyun went to pack up the fireworks.
But before leaving, Lu Jiuxu quietly "threatened" him in a very straightforward manner.
"You stay home."
When Lu Zhiyun heard this, he immediately felt aggrieved.
"Brother, it's Chinese New Year, and I'm alone. I don't want to go out and set off fireworks. Do you want me to stay at home and watch the Spring Festival Gala?"
As soon as he finished saying this, Lu Zhiyun suddenly saw his brother's gaze on Su Xingyao.
Then he quickly shut his mouth.
The next second, he quickly ran to Su Xingyao and said, "Ah, Su Su... I suddenly remembered that my friend asked me to sing with him, so I'll leave first."
Su Xingyao was a little confused and originally wanted to keep him.
But Lu Zhiyun ran faster than anything else, so he could only wave to him.
"Zhiyun is gone, what should we do?"
Su Xingyao turned around and asked Lu Jiuxu.
Unexpectedly, the other party brought the fireworks and took him directly into the car.
"Let's go look at the stars."
Thousands of houses are lit up on New Year’s Eve.
However, Su Xingyao followed Lu Jiuxu to a mountain far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The visibility in the mountains is not very good, and there are dense and tall forests on both sides.
Although Su Xingyao had already seen Lu Jiuxu's driving skills, he was still subconsciously alert when driving on the narrow mountain road, so he kept looking at the road ahead.
At some point, Lu Jiuxu's gentle voice reached his ears.
"Su Maomao, look up."
Su Xingyao raised her head upon hearing that, and what she saw was the brilliant starry sky.
At that moment, Su Xingyao felt as if she had returned to her childhood.
The teacher assigned the homework of observing the starry sky at home, and he also looked up at the bright galaxy.
He likes such a clean and bright starry sky very much.
Lu Jiuxu parked the car steadily on the terrace at the highest point of the mountain top.
After getting off the car, Su Xingyao stared at the starry sky for a long time.
Lu Jiuxu beside him accompanied him quietly.
"I wanted to bring you here to see the stars last time."
After hearing these words, Su Xingyao's first thought was what a pity.
He remembered that one time after he and Lu Jiuxu had eaten hotpot together, when they were going home, the other party mentioned that he wanted to take him to see the stars.
But he refused that time.
"It's a pity I missed it last time."
Su Xingyao glanced at Lu Jiuxu apologetically, "But fortunately I saw it late today."
Lu Jiuxu smiled.
"It's not too late."
After saying that, he turned around and took out the fireworks that Lu Zhiyun had prepared.
Su Xingyao rarely sets off fireworks, let alone such big ones.
So he followed the other person curiously throughout the whole process, placing the fireworks and then lighting them.
Watching the fuse burning bit by bit, Su Xingyao quickly stepped back.
However, when he was heading to a safe place, he almost fell because it was too dark and he couldn't see the road clearly. It was Lu Jiuxu who reached out and helped him steady himself.
Su Xingyao held Lu Jiuxu's hand but did not let go.
Then he held the other person's hand and ran to a safe distance together.
A minute later, with a bang, a huge and bright firework rushed into the sky.
Then the sky was filled with sparks.
The combination of the starry sky and fireworks looks particularly beautiful.
At the moment the fireworks unfolded, Lu Jiuxu said to Su Xingyao.
"Happy New Year, Su Xingyao."
Su Xingyao also looked at the other party.
"Happy New Year, Lu Jiuxu."
Then he let go of the other person's hand and returned to the car.
When he came back again, he had a gift in his hand.
"You gave me good luck before, and I want to give you a New Year's gift too."
Su Xingyao handed the New Year gift to Lu Jiuxu.
The gift was beautifully packaged.
You can tell at first glance that the person who gave the gift spent a lot of time and effort carefully wrapping it piece by piece.
Lu Jiuxu looked at the New Year gift that Su Xingyao prepared for him over and over again, his eyes filled with emotion.
Su Xingyao had no time to look at the stars in her eyes. She fixed her gaze straight on Lu Jiuxu's face, her big eyes blinking.
He asked the other party, "Do you want to open it now and take a look?"
"May I?"
"Um."
Lu Jiuxu carefully unwrapped the gift along the edges, fearing that the wrapping paper would be torn.
Seeing how slow he was, Su Xingyao felt a little worried for him.
But fortunately, Lu Jiuxu quickly opened the gift intact.
There was a folding fan inside.
Lu Jiuxu opened the folding fan, and fireworks exploded in the air, illuminating the contents on it.
It's a tree and a bird.
"This painting is called Blue Gum and the Salix Babylonia."
Su Xingyao lowered her head and explained, "Didn't I say last time that I wanted to give you a painting..."
However, when he looked up again, he was met with Lu Jiuxu's extremely burning gaze.
In the depths of the dazzling fireworks, the other person's dark eyes are filled with himself.
He usually seemed calm and composed, but for the first time his tone sounded a little irritable and anxious.
He asked Su Xingyao.
"Is that what I understood?"
"Xingyao."
Su Xingyao did not answer immediately.
The sound of fireworks exploding filled the surroundings, but at this moment Su Xingyao seemed to only hear one person's voice between heaven and earth.
After a few seconds, he answered softly.
“I saw a poem.”
Su Xingyao's eyes fell on the four lines of small words she had written on the fan -
The blue eucalyptus has met the locust bird, and I love you only, not anything else.
Shi Huai comes and goes without a return date, and when he wakes up from his dream he has already chased after the floating clouds.
He is the poisonous and lonely blue gum in this world.
The only person who took the initiative to approach him and save him, Lu Jiuxu, was the Huai Bird in his lonely life.
The other party's intentions were very obvious, and I had actually noticed it a long time ago.
But before he figured it out, he had no way to respond to the other person's feelings.
And tonight, he felt that he could respond.
Because he was sure that he liked Lu Jiuxu as well.
Just like the other person likes you.
So he wanted to tell the other person his feelings through this painting.
Maybe it was love at first sight when we first met, or maybe it was love that grew from spending time together day and night.
But, Lu Jiuxu is the only one for him.
The man in front of him naturally understood what he meant at the first moment.
So the other party looked at Su Xingyao deeply and asked him seriously.
"Then can I be your bird?"
The man's voice was restrained and low, and sounded particularly nice in the night.
At this moment, Su Xingyao's heart was beating violently for this person.
He looked at the other person and nodded firmly.
"You already are."
A series of fireworks rushed into the sky at this moment.
Under the witness of the sparks and bright stars in the sky.
Su Xingyao stood on tiptoes and gently kissed Lu Jiuxu's lips.
Su Xingyao, who took the initiative to kiss someone for the first time, originally planned to just try it out briefly.
But who would have thought that the moment his body pressed against the other person's, the man in front of him would hold his waist, gradually increasing his strength, deepening the kiss again and again.
The feeling of lips and teeth entangled is wonderful, making people feel as if they are in the clouds, or as if they are embraced by gentle spring water.
Su Xingyao likes this feeling very much.
So even though he had never kissed before and had no skills or methods, he responded to the other party with the same enthusiasm at this moment.
He grabbed the hem of Lu Jiuxu's coat, feeling his warmth and breath at close range.
The ambiguous tongues continued to entangle until each other's breathing became so hot that it was unbearable.
Su Xingyao didn’t know how long his first kiss with Lu Jiuxu lasted.
So when they separated, he felt as if he was about to deprive of oxygen, and even his eyes seemed to be moist and watery due to lack of air.
The fireworks in the sky had already finished without anyone noticing.
Everything around returned to peace.
Su Xingyao, who was completely exhausted, simply sat down on the ground comfortably.
Lu Jiuxu also sat next to him, put his arm around him, and let him lean on his shoulder.
Su Xingyao looked at the sky, her cheeks rosy.
"I had a little drink with Zhiyun tonight."
"So now I'm actually a little drunk and oxygen-deprived."
After Su Xingyao finished speaking, she was afraid that Lu Jiuxu would misunderstand what she meant, so she quickly clarified it.
"Of course I don't mean to say that what I just said to you was all drunken talk."
Lu Jiuxu chuckled and stroked his cheek gently.
"I know you won't."
Su Xingyao nodded, then narrowed her eyes slightly, looking a little tipsy.
He looked like a lazy little kitten at this moment, and even the tone of his voice was particularly light-hearted and cute.
"What I actually meant to say is that my album is 90 percent complete, and there is still one song that has not been finalized."
"Lu Jiuxu, do you know? I have written many types of songs."
"About family, about friendship...the ups and downs, the separation of life and death..."
Su Xingyao smiled.
"But the only thing I haven't written about in these songs is love."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the people around him again.
Then he raised his body, put his lips to the other's cheek, and whispered in Lu Jiuxu's ear like a dragonfly touching the water.
"I think the last song should be about love."
