In the living room, Lin Lushen and Tian Ye were still debating whether the dog or the rabbit on the blessing tree was cuter.
Li Changsi opened the tea can and brewed three cups of tea. He watched the boiling water roll over the autumn tea, bringing with it a rich tea aroma, and said calmly, "Will they read the contents of the lucky bag?"
He avoided the topic and did not answer.
She has never been like this. She knows what she wants, but she has indulged herself once in her previous life. She was beaten to a pulp for love and even lost her life in the end. In this life, true love is like a mirage, which she cannot get, nor does she want to get.
So, she was waiting for time to heal those minor wounds, for her to face the past calmly, or for Lu Qi to break up with her.
Lu Qi lowered his eyelids, stepped back a little, and said softly, "It's okay if you see it. Uncle Lu said that we need a sense of ritual in life."
He and Song Mao were both single, so they went to ask Uncle Lu how to coax girls. People of Uncle Lu's generation probably thought that the most direct way to express their feelings was to write love letters, so he wrote dozens of lucky bag cards, each sentence of which was full of extremely obscure thoughts.
He had been waiting for her for many years. The moment their eyes met, all the accumulated and suppressed emotions were like the lava erupting from a dormant volcano. He was afraid that it would be too intense and would burn her, so he could only restrain himself and hide it bit by bit in the years.
“The drawing is quite cute.”
"Well, I'll draw you often from now on."
This is what is called "sour and reserved". After not seeing each other for a month, my sweet talk skills are maxed out.
Li Changsi felt a little hot in the tips of her ears. She had clearly had the upper hand before, but now the situation had inexplicably reversed and she was being suppressed by him.
"Sister, do you have coffee? I want to drink coffee..." Lin Lushen couldn't argue with Tian Ye, so she went into the kitchen angrily and wanted to drink coffee. As a result, she ran into these two people. She saw Lu Qi holding Li Changsi in a domineering posture. The handsome man and beautiful woman standing together were extremely pleasing to the eyes, and there was an invisible tension in the air. She blushed with embarrassment.
My sister usually looks very cool, but I didn’t expect Brother Lu to be even cooler! He is indeed a handsome guy that even Sister Changsi can’t resist.
"Ahem, Tian Ye has opened all your lucky bags."
"Little Deer, when children lie, their noses grow longer."
Lu Qi took a step back and took out the tea brewed by Li Changsi.
As soon as he left, the air suddenly began to circulate. Li Changsi felt that the indoor heating was too high, so he turned the temperature down.
Lin Lushen chuckled and nudged Li Changsi's arm, whispering, "Have you two made up?"
Last time, Bai Zhuo said in the group that Lu Qi withdrew from the variety show recording and that there were problems in their relationship, so they didn't dare to cue Li Changsi. Unexpectedly, they encountered him when they came to Nuanju.
Lin Lushen couldn't help but sigh at her own high emotional intelligence. If they really reconciled, wouldn't Lu Qi give her a big red envelope?
Li Changsi responded vaguely. Her relationship with Lu Qi was more complicated than that of ordinary couples and it was hard to explain.
It was still early for dinner, so Tian Ye suggested playing mahjong, which stumped Li Changsi and Lu Qi because neither of them knew how to play.
Tian Ye: "Oh my god, have you never played mahjong since you were little? It's a national treasure. I know four different types of mahjong because my parents, grandparents are from four different places, hahahaha.
Fortunately, we had the foresight to guess that you probably didn't have mahjong at home, so we brought it here specially."
Tian Ye happily found the mahjong he brought from a pile of gift boxes. He had been so tired and exhausted from recording the variety show before, and today he could finally relax.
Lin Lu smiled and said, "It's fun if you don't know how to do it. Otherwise, who will win the money?"
Rong Shu: "Mahjong is simple, as long as you understand the rules."
Rong Shu explained the rules of mahjong, a national game that is easy to master.
Lu Qi understood it after just one look and looked at Li Changsi: "You come, if you lose, it's mine. I'll ask Uncle Lu to prepare dinner."
Tian Ye chuckled and said, "Sister Si, with Brother Lu's words, feel free to lose boldly. Don't be stingy."
Li Changsi raised his narrow, deep eyes slightly, and said nonchalantly, "How big is it?"
"The bigger the better."
Half an hour later, Tian Ye was so upset that she started to cry: "Sister Si, your luck is too good. No, let's switch players and let Brother Lu play a round."
Li Changsi glanced at him with a half-smile: "Are you sure?"
Tian Ye: "I'm absolutely certain. If I don't change people, I'm going to lose all my pants today."
All right. Li Changsi stood up and let Lu Qi play. She was a little tired of playing anyway. This simple permutation and combination game was not challenging at all and was just a waste of time.
Li Changsi got up and went to read on the sofa. Seeing that she was tired of playing, Lu Qi rolled up his exquisite cuffs and sat down gracefully to take over.
Half an hour later, Tian Ye was tortured to tears, and Lin Lushen was also tortured to tears. Oh my God, is this a hand that a human can win with?
Lin Lushen: "Brother Ye, it's all your fault. Sister was clearly having fun, but you insisted on replacing her. Now she's in trouble, right?"
Tian Ye complained: "How do I know that Brother Lu is even more perverted than Sister Si?"
Rong Shu saw that everyone had lost and that continuing to play would only lead to even worse losses. He laughed and said, "They both have photographic memories, can remember cards, and can count cards. It's normal to lose to them."
Changsi was fine and even let the deer off, but as for Lu Qi, there was no such thing as letting him off at all.
Rong Shu used to think highly of himself. When he was in middle school, he even thought he was the best in the world. Maybe he was Beethoven or Mozart in his previous life. It was only when he was thirty that his personality became more stable. It was only after he met Li Changsi that he realized that there really are people who are well-rounded in moral, intellectual, aesthetic and physical development and who can crush ordinary people in every way.
He went to listen to the guzheng played by Li Changsi, and the word "skillful" could no longer be used to describe it. It was as if the sound of the guzheng contained something that was not found in this era. The only words left were: "a masterpiece."
She and Lu Qi both give people the same feeling, like pearls polished in the long river of time, bright and dazzling, making people sincerely impressed.
This is probably the reason why Li Changsi chose Lu Qi instead of Bai Zhuo.
Birds of a feather flock together, and they are of the same kind.
Photographic memory, card counting? Tian Ye was dumbfounded. Shit, so poor students aren't even worthy of playing mahjong? On the disparity of the world.
"No, it's only a hundred yuan a round. Brother Lu, as a capitalist, are you really going to haggle over such a small sum with us common people? And you're even counting cards?"
Tian Ye's mentality collapsed.
Lin Lushen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. That's right, that's right. Rich people are really stingy.
Lu Qi raised his superior jawline slightly and said slowly: "It has nothing to do with money. I don't like the feeling of losing."
Tian Ye: "Brother, have you never lost since you were a child?"
Lu Qi's crow-feather eyelashes drooped slightly. He glanced at Li Changsi, who was leaning on the sofa reading a book, and the corners of his lips softened slightly: "I only lost to Changsi."
Oh my god, this is such unexpected dog food.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Qi said in a low voice, "It's almost time for dinner."
He called Uncle Lu to send the food over.
Dinner was still exquisite Chinese food, and the taste was no worse than that of Lane 49. Lin Lushen and Tian Ye’s wounded hearts were instantly healed by the delicious food, and then they accidentally ate too much. However, everyone had good eyesight, so they didn’t stay long after the meal and got up to say goodbye.
Li Changsi had eaten a bit too much that night, and thinking about the Spring Festival Gala and being on camera soon, he stood up and said, "I'll take you downstairs, and we can go for a walk in the park in front to digest the food."
The community is built around the lake. A few steps away you will reach the ice lake in front. At this time, the lake is covered with ice and frost, which is very beautiful. If you encounter a flock of white pigeons, you can also feed them.
The group went downstairs. Rong Shu lived in the same complex. Seeing Lu Qi there, he felt embarrassed to stay and went home to turn on the heater. Tian Ye drove Lin Lushen back home and then went back to his own home.
The community is full of green trees, and small red lanterns and colorful lights are hung under each tree. The property managers also brought in early spring camellias and arranged them along the flower beds, which is really a bit luxurious.
Li Changsi put on a hat and walked along the wooden plank road beside the icy lake. The cold wind on the lake was so strong that it made her shiver.
"Walk behind me." Lu Qi took a step forward, his tall body blocking the cold wind and not touching her. His long black coat was next to her white down jacket, both black and white, extremely clean and simple.
Li Changsi covered her face, feeling that the breath she exhaled turned into white mist. The phone in her pocket rang. It was her agent. She thought of calling Qiubi to come over to get the New Year's goods during dinner.
Lin Lushen and others sent too many home-warming gifts, including various foods, fruits, and fresh produce. She couldn't finish all of these by herself, and they would easily go bad if left for a long time, so she asked her agent to come and get them and distribute them to other team members.
"Changsi, I'm at the entrance of your community. Please open the outer gate for me, otherwise I can't get in."
Li Changsi remotely opened the outer door for Qiubi, then looked at Lu Qi and said lightly: "Go back."
"Yeah." Lu Qi lowered his eyes to look at her, knowing when to stop, and walked back along the ice lake with her. The two of them did not walk fast, and strolled back to the community slowly and leisurely, and saw Kewpie, dressed like a penguin, waiting downstairs.
"It's so cold today. President Lu is here too?" Qiubi was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them in the same frame, and then he was secretly happy. No wonder Assistant Song didn't call him again in the past two days. It turned out that Changsi and President Lu had reconciled?
Thank God, if we don't reconcile soon, he will go crazy.
Lu Qi nodded.
"Changsi, the Spring Festival Gala is the day after tomorrow. I'll have the costumes delivered tomorrow. You should stay home and recuperate and have a good rest for the next two days, okay? Mr. Lu, next time, please don't drag Changsi out into the cold. If she catches a cold, how will she perform at the Spring Festival Gala?
Changsi has finally made it this far. If something unexpected happens, during the Lunar New Year, the haters will definitely have a collective orgasm..."
Lu Qi: “…”
Li Changsi curled the corners of his lips slightly and said, "Not that delicate."
She wore a thick down jacket to keep warm.
Lu Qi said calmly, "Your agent is right. Don't go out for the next two days. I'll have Uncle Lu deliver your meals three times a day. Just tell me if you need anything."
Kyubey: "Then it is happily decided."
Li Changsi: "..."
Qiubi took away most of the fresh fruits and gift boxes. Lu Qi was also very considerate and did not stay because it was getting late.
In the next two days, apart from Uncle Lu delivering three meals a day, Qiubi came once with a New Year gift box and performance costumes from the brand, and no one disturbed us anymore.
Li Changsi rarely takes a vacation. The first day was fine, but he couldn't stand it on the second day. He started a live broadcast, opening the gift boxes at home and wishing his fans a happy new year. It was a New Year's benefit for his fans.
In the previous live broadcast learning, she hardly showed her face, and obviously did not interact with other male guests in the Heart-beating House. Her presence was extremely low. Fans were squatting in the major live broadcast rooms with magnifying glasses, looking for Li Changsi who might intrude. At this moment, the young lady was doing business openly, and the little red beans were overjoyed.
The super topic received a lot of responses and immediately went straight to the Weibo live broadcast room.
——Sibao seems to have moved, and the decoration style has changed. The living room used to have a pink sofa, but now it has a retro brown color scheme.
——Wow, Sibao’s house is so beautiful. I really love the solid wooden beams on the roof, and there is even a prayer tree in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows!
——Hahaha, is sister live streaming from the living room? I want to see sister's bedroom, hehe~
The comments were all about the decoration style of Li Changsi's house and the blessing tree hung with lucky bags and lanterns. When Li Changsi found the gift box sent by the brand, they all screamed and started to flatter him.
Because the heating was on at home and the temperature was just right, Li Changsi only wore a thin beige sweater and home casual pants. She looked lazy and casual. Her small face was only the size of a palm, and her skin was white and delicate with no pores, revealing an indescribable exquisiteness.
——I love this look, I love it. I always thought that this young lady was a dark-skinned type, but it turns out that she can also handle the literary style.
——I think Sibao is doing very well. He seems to be much happier after moving to a new home. Sibao used to be a little aloof, but now he is like a cute and soft puppy. I want to rub him!
——The one in front is, how much do you like Puppy? It's not appropriate to call Bao a Puppy with this face value. I accept that he's cute.
——Hahahaha, just say it’s beautiful and that’s it.
Li Changsi just started the live broadcast casually. She is currently endorsing a perfume. The brand sent her a gift box, so she took the opportunity to promote the brand. As soon as the gift box was opened, fans exclaimed "Wow".
Inside the big pink gift box, there were 24 pieces of finely crafted scented tea leaves, corresponding exactly to the 24 solar terms. The scent was the same as the "Renjian Boiled Snow" that Li Changsi had customized before.
In addition to scented slices, there are also customized gorgeous scented candles with patterns of the elf princess and mermaid that she previously endorsed. The brand is really thoughtful.
Then there are two candlesticks and a bottle of perfume, all of which are unique custom-made, which shows how much C company likes its spokesperson.
Li Changsi was also very surprised to see the contents of the gift box, especially the scented pieces of the 24 solar terms, which were the scents she wanted. The scented pieces of various colors, such as fresh green, pink, and tender yellow, were mixed together, which looked very beautiful.
Replace one piece every solar term, which is exactly the amount for a year.
She picked the emerald green fragrant petals on the day of the beginning of spring and hung them on the red blessing tree with ribbons of the same color. Suddenly, a faint fragrance came and the blessing tree turned into a fragrant tree.
"Thank you for the brand's New Year gift box. I will open some gift boxes sent by friends, and then hold a raffle on Weibo to give them away." Li Changsi did not set up a studio until he heard Lin Lushen talk about it. He learned that celebrity studios would give gift boxes to partners, media and fans during festivals.
Qibi never told her about these things. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and this year was really chaotic, so she simply held a lottery.
"I moved two days ago, and a friend came to warm my home and gave me a lot of products that I endorsed. I wanted to see what they had." Li Changsi brought over four or five gift boxes.
——Hahaha, it must have been sent by Lin Lushen. She mentioned it on Weibo.
——The girl became popular for too short a time, and she had to take exams and record variety shows, so she couldn’t do everything in the first New Year, but she would have experience in the second year.
——I have to say that I received a gift box, a very luxurious gift box. I didn’t dare to show it off, and I almost went crazy with joy at home.
——Me, me, me, I also received a gift box. I posted it in the super topic. I heard that it was a high-end gift box customized by the agency, which is much better than other celebrity gift boxes.
——Oh my god, what a magical gift box this is.
Fans rushed to the super topic, only to see the host showing off a high-end black and gold gift box. The gift box was huge, lined with red velvet, and divided into four areas. There was a high-end perfume endorsed by Li Changsi, customized blessing characters and couplets, a food box with exquisite pastries, and a silk three-piece set with an eye mask, slippers, and a pillow.
——The silk pillow is super soft and looks great, but my favorite is the pastries in the lunch box. Oh my god, they are the most delicious pastries I have ever eaten since I was born. I almost suspect that what I ate before was pig feed.
——It may be an exaggeration, but I am really jealous. There is a perfume endorsed by Sibao in the gift box. Wow, I can’t buy it.
— Damn, the blessing character and couplet in the gift box have signatures. This isn’t a couplet, it’s a calligraphy collection!!
The gift box posted by the host of the super topic was stripped clean by the fans in a moment. The silk three-piece set was a high-end custom-made one, the perfume was a limited edition of C, and the pastries in the food box were not available for purchase, so it must have been custom-made. The most important thing was that the inconspicuous couplet inside was written by calligrapher Deng Wei, with a seal underneath.
This is not being rich, this is being rich but inhumane.
——Little host, don’t post the couplets at home anymore, collect them quickly, there are so many small coins!
The young host was completely stunned. If the girl hadn't been live streaming today, she wouldn't have posted the gift box. The main reason was that the girl's agent hadn't told her there was a New Year gift box. She thought the perfume and silk pillow were the most expensive, but what happened!!!
In addition to the young host, seven or eight fans also came out to show off the gift boxes. They are all big fans who are familiar to them, which shows how cautious the young fans are.
—I won’t put it up anymore. I quickly told my dad to buy new couplets, hahahaha. Sibao doesn’t seem to know that the agency sent a gift box.
——I no longer complain that Sibao’s agency is small. It’s really rich.
——A little-known fact: I have checked the agency of the girl goose before. It was indeed an inconspicuous small company before, but it was acquired by a large group three years ago. It can be checked by anyone.
——The girl married a wealthy agency, woo woo woo.
In the live broadcast room, Li Changsi opened the gift boxes, which were all high-end skin care products, toiletries, and some bird's nest supplements, all of which were quite good. She held a lucky draw on Weibo, drew all the gift boxes, and then posted it. Then she saw that her agent sent her a message.
Kewpie took a screenshot of the luxurious gift box from the super topic and gave it to her, and asked with a trembling heart: Baby, is this from you?
Li Changsi: ???
Chubby: That should be a gift from Mr. Lu!!!
Qiubi cried with envy. Why didn't Mr. Lu leave him a copy of such a luxurious gift box? He also wanted Deng Wei's calligraphy couplet.
Li Changsi checked the super topic, then fell silent. He sent a message to Lu Qi: "Did you send the New Year gift box? And the calligrapher's couplet?"
Lu Qi: I just asked for a dozen couplets, and someone delivered them. Ah Mao took care of it. I also wrote you another couplet.
As for whether it was a calligrapher's couplet, Lu Qi didn't care. These trivial matters have always been handled by Song Mao. In previous years, he had no feelings about the New Year, as it was just an ordinary day. But this year, he had infinite expectations and felt that life seemed to have become more lively.
So he wrote the couplet himself. When Uncle Lu received the couplet, he quietly turned his back and wiped his eyes.
Li Changsi sighed softly. He was not shocked to know the origin of the Lu family. With Lu Qi's personality, he really wouldn't care whether it was a calligrapher's couplet or not. The collection of the mountaintop manor probably spanned a century.
Li Changsi: That’s a very good gift. Don’t give it to me again next time.
The first year was such a high standard, so what should we do next? We had no choice but to follow this standard.
Lu Qi: Don't like it? Then I'll deduct Song Mao's bonus.
The hardworking Assistant Song sneezed for no apparent reason and had a bad feeling.
Li Changsi drew some New Year gift boxes and asked Qibi to deliver them quickly, and the New Year fan welfare session ended.
The super topic that day was as lively as Chinese New Year. Fans who received luxury gift boxes and won prizes all sent red envelopes to the super topic, and the super topic was full of joy.
#李长思直播彩票开奖# and #超话CelebrateNewYear# were both on the hot search list.
The next day is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, Lu Qi and the housekeeper came to deliver the couplets.
The man was wearing a newly tailor-made long coat, still in deep black, but the fur collar was changed to brown. The long coat made his already tall and straight figure even more slender, as bright as a jade tree.
Seeing her open the door, the housekeeper said with a smile: "Miss Changsi, we are here to give you the couplets and blessing characters."
Ever since Miss Changsi moved here, her husband has not returned to the mountaintop manor and has been living across the street, causing them to run back and forth between the two places. Although the manor is deserted this year, it may be lively next year.
Li Changsi nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Lu, are you spending the New Year at the Hilltop Manor this year?"
"Ahem, it depends on where you're spending the New Year," the housekeeper said with a smile. "Here are the couplets and the blessing character you wrote."
This is the first time in so many years.
"It's not well written, but it's just for show." Lu Qi just wanted to see her. Although they lived next door to each other, they were so close and not seeing each other for two days was already the limit of what he could endure.
So he asked the housekeeper to come and deliver the couplets early in the morning. Seeing that she had been on vacation for two days, her little face was emitting a gentle glow, and his anxious heart of the past two days suddenly calmed down.
Li Changsi looked at Lu Qi's couplet. The characters were vigorous and powerful, with a majestic aura, like a dragon hidden in the clouds. However, the ending was a bit more restrained. With such a look, it was no wonder he looked down on the calligrapher's couplet and even came to offer his courtesy and seek praise.
She lowered her eyes and said nonchalantly, "Then just make do with it."
The housekeeper smiled and thought that young people just knew how to have fun. They lived next door to each other, wrote Spring Festival couplets, and even took him, an old light bulb, with them, as if they were afraid that others would not know about the secret love affair between them.
"Well, let me help you put up the Spring Festival couplets." Lu Qi took the couplet from her hand, stood at the door with his tall and slender body, and easily reached the top. "Help me check if it's straight."
The man had a sexy voice and looked down at Li Changsi.
Li Changsi saw that he was very close, and his body was full of his turbulent and dangerous aura. He quickly stood up and said casually: "Correct, just stick to it."
Lu Qi smiled deeply and carefully pasted the couplets. He then pasted the cut-out blessing characters on the French window. Seeing that her home had a New Year's atmosphere, he finally spoke: "What time does the evening show start?"
"Around nine o'clock." Her show was well-timed, so it wasn't too late to come back after it was over.
Lu Qi nodded, his scorching gaze fixed on her: "Okay, then I'll pick you up after your show. Today is New Year's Eve, so why don't you let your agent spend the New Year at home?"
This sentence stopped Li Changsi from saying anything.
Today was New Year's Eve, so it wasn't appropriate for Kyubey to pick her up. Not being able to drive was a real bummer; she'd have to find time to get a driver's license.
She nodded: "Okay."
Lu Qi walked to the door, then thought of something and turned around hastily. He put his hands behind his back with restraint and said in a low voice, "Happy New Year, Chang Si."
Those four words seemed to come from the depths of his throat, carrying with them the pain and regret of endless years, falling heavily.
Li Changsi's eyelashes trembled slightly. Happy New Year, Lu Qi, and sir.
