In the end, I was so annoyed that I simply stopped thinking about it and went straight to the study to work.
Only by keeping busy can I distract his attention and make him forget about that heartless thing temporarily!
After Lu Yunxiao figured it out, he quickly washed up and went to the study.
Bai You, who was downstairs, was still immersed in Lu Yun's words and didn't react.
What did he mean by what he just said...
Is that what she meant?
But how is this possible? How could he be interested in her?
She always thought that he took good care of her and did so much for Mr. Lu's sake.
How could I have never imagined that it was because of her?
Bai You didn't know how long he had been standing there. He only knew that he was in a daze, and the words Lu Yunxiao said kept repeating in his mind.
"I've done so much, I don't believe you can't feel anything. You can feel it, but you ignore my existence. Haha, you're really good, huh?"
"Since you want to distance yourself from me so much and don't want to have anything to do with me, as you wish, I will no longer care about you or bother you. I will not interfere in your affairs."
"You don't have to hide from me, and you don't have to go to great lengths to reject me."
She heard every word clearly, including his extremely cold tone at that time, which she remembered clearly.
She didn't even know why she remembered it so clearly, nor why she was so self-deprecating as to think about it.
But she just couldn't control herself, as if she had been bewitched.
And knowing that he will no longer appear by my side and will not interfere in my affairs, shouldn't I feel happy?
In this way, she was able to distance herself from them as she wished. He returned to his upper class life, and she lived a peaceful life as an ordinary person.
Go to college, get a job, and return to a normal life.
Isn't this all what I wanted? Now that it's come true, shouldn't I be happy?
But what's going on with the awkwardness and slight discomfort coming from deep in my heart?
Why did she feel panicked subconsciously when she heard him say that he would never appear by her side again?
Why?
Bai You thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why.
The housekeeper looked at Bai You, who had been standing there for who knows how long. After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and said, "Miss Chu?"
"Um?"
Hearing someone calling her, Bai You subconsciously looked up and replied "Hmm". She didn't even react who was calling her.
It's just a conditioned reflex.
After being Chu Lanxi for a year, she is now getting more and more accustomed to the name Chu Lanxi. If one day, someone subconsciously calls her Bai You, she may not be able to react.
Bai You raised his eyes to look at the housekeeper and asked, "What's wrong, Uncle Wang?"
The butler smiled and said respectfully, "Nothing. I just wanted to ask if you were hungry. I'd like to ask the kitchen to make you something to eat."
Bai You shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry. Please let them go home."
The butler nodded. "Okay. I'll tell them."
Bai You hummed, and when the housekeeper turned around, he said, "Uncle Wang, can you send a driver to take me there, or lend me a car and I'll bring it back tomorrow?"
The housekeeper looked at the sky outside and said to Bai You: "Miss Chu, it's almost dark at this time. It's not safe for a girl to live alone. It would be very dangerous for you to go back alone. Why don't you stay here? If you really have something urgent, I can ask the driver to take you back at dawn tomorrow."
Bai You has a lot of things to do. The Mu family's affairs are on the agenda, the cause of her car accident has not been found out yet, and she also has to prepare to go to college.
She didn't actually have that much time to waste. In that house, she often stayed up late, and being able to fall asleep before one was a miracle.
Staying here for one night, she thought she would make up for it on the following nights.
But she still said, "Okay."
After she spoke, she didn't even think about it, it was like a subconscious answer.
But she didn't regret it, instead she felt a little relieved.
She didn't know why this happened. Maybe she was worried about Grandpa Lu. After all, his mood was so bad. It would be better to stay here.
She comforted herself in this way.
The housekeeper smiled and sighed, then said, "In that case, I'll ask Aunt Zhang to clean up the house for you."
Bai You nodded and agreed to the butler's suggestion.
When the housekeeper left, Bai You said again: "Uncle Wang, please don't call me Miss Chu anymore, and don't call me you either. It's not appropriate for you to address me like that at your age."
The housekeeper looked embarrassed. "This... is not good. After all, you are the master. How can we, who are paid, do this?"
Bai You smiled. "There's no hierarchy between people. Even at work, there's no difference. Ultimately, we all earn our livings with our own hands. The only difference is how much we earn. So there's no master-servant relationship. Everyone is equal, only old and young. You're the elder, and I'm the younger. That's all I care about. You're older than me, so I call you uncle, and I'm the younger, so it's appropriate for you to call me by my name."
The housekeeper looked at Bai You, his eyes reddened. After a long pause, he said, "Okay, I won't call you Miss Chu anymore."
Bai You smiled and said, "Just call me Xiaoxi. That's what Grandpa Lu calls me."
The housekeeper groaned, turned around, wiped his tears, and then asked Aunt Zhang to clean up Bai You's room.
Same time, different place.
