Chapter 72 Chapter 72 A strong sense of immersion
What is going on in the mind of a genius?
Qiao Wu's tone was complicated: "Did you know it hasn't been weaned yet?"
"Hmm." Even Lu Jinzhi couldn't help but chuckle, as if he felt that this statement was a bit too nonsensical. "So that's my excuse."
"childish."
Although she said that, it would be better if she didn't mention it. Once she mentioned it, she couldn't help but want to see Wuwu, so she walked out of the elevator.
Behind him, Lu Jinzhi raised his voice slightly: "As long as it works."
As the two were talking, the door of a room not far away suddenly opened.
Lu Ning stayed in the room with Wuwu all night tonight. After feeding him for the last time, she was reluctant to go back to her room to sleep. Unexpectedly, she met two people as soon as she came out.
Her eyes swung between Qiao Wu and Second Uncle: "Qiao Wu, why are you wearing Second Uncle's clothes?"
She remembered that this was what her second uncle wore when he went out to exorcise demons.
"It's cold outside." Qiao Wu glared at Lu Jinzhi. "Untie it."
The latter laughed and raised his hand to untie the sleeves tied behind her back.
Qiao Wu threw the clothes on him and pushed the door on the other side.
Lu Ning blurted out: "Are you guys going to sleep together tonight too?"
Qiao Wu almost tripped over herself. She took a deep breath, turned around and grabbed the little girl's ear: "Let me see, woo woo."
Also, what does 也 mean?
"I haven't slept with him either, so don't talk nonsense."
"oh."
Lu Ning rubbed her ears.
If you don’t want to sleep, then don’t sleep. Why are you so excited?
"Then I'm going to sleep." She said, "I just fed Wuwu, so I don't need to feed her for a while. Good night!"
Qiao Wu walked into the house naturally: "Good night."
Worried that her ears would be harmed again by her second uncle, Lu Ning moved closer to the wall.
Fortunately, she ran to the elevator safely and her second uncle didn't give her any trouble.
She couldn't help but look back and found her second uncle standing at the door, straightening the coat that Qiao Wu had thrown on him, then slowly lifted it up, as if he was holding it to his nose and sniffing it.
oh!
Second Uncle is just like her. She also likes Qiao Wu and likes to smell the scent of Qiao Wu!
Lu Ning felt a sense of recognition in her heart, and in her excitement she accidentally kicked the trash can next to her. The clang made her grimace in pain.
Then she saw her second uncle, who was not far away, turned his head when he heard the noise, but he quickly looked away in just a few seconds because Qiao Wu was calling him in the house.
The door closed with a click, and Lu Ning at the elevator entrance came back to her senses from the previous sight.
In the past, my second uncle was either always smiling with a dagger hidden behind his heart, or he was cold and indifferent without any major emotional ups and downs.
But just now, the look her second uncle gave her from that distance made her shudder inexplicably. She had never seen such a strong and inexplicable emotion in her second uncle's eyes.
Lu Ning felt safe, satisfied and happy when she smelled the scent on Qiao Wu.
But Second Uncle didn't seem happy, more like he was dissatisfied, and looked gloomy and scary.
So weird.
Inside the room, Lu Jinzhi came in and put the coat on the bed. He turned around and asked, "Why don't you sit down?"
"It's asleep," Qiao Wu said. "I'll be leaving soon."
Thinking that Lu Jinzhi had drunk some wine tonight, she said, "I'll come over and feed him later."
Ever since Wuwu was brought to Lu Jinzhi's room, Lu Jinzhi gave her the time when she woke up in the morning, so that she didn't have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed her.
Lu Jinzhi said that he had to work overtime at night recently, so he fed the baby while he was at it.
"Aren't you going to the company today? You shouldn't have to work overtime tonight."
Lu Jinzhi said succinctly: "Yes."
If there is any urgent work that needs to be handled at the company, Xu Chao will also send a backup to Qiao Wu so that she can remind and assist Lu Jinzhi, but she has not received it recently.
She frowned. "What kind of work is so urgent? I can share some of the burden."
"Have you thought about it?" Lu Jinzhi asked with a smile.
"What have you thought of?"
"Come with me to dinner when you're free."
Qiao Wu was stunned for three seconds before he reacted.
That day, Lu Jinzhi said that as long as she made time, the rest would be his business.
"Are you making time to wait for me?"
Lu Jinzhi did not deny it.
Showing weakness appropriately is a good weapon.
“You really are…”
Qiao Wu wanted to say that he didn't know the difference between the important and the trivial.
But the words came to her lips but she couldn't say them. She had never thought about what it would be like for someone like Lu Jinzhi to like someone.
But now, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly red from drinking, and he was half leaning on the table, looking at her quietly, as if he was always waiting for her answer.
The psychology teacher said that people like Lu Jinzhi should be guided to perceive emotions little by little.
But Qiao Wu discovered that Lu Jinzhi was already showing her his emotions, clearly and distinctly.
He is putting his words into action.
She sighed silently.
"Lu Jinzhi."
"Um?"
Qiao Wu smiled and said, "I'll be free tomorrow."
In a moment, Lu Jinzhi, who was standing not far from her, also smiled: "My pleasure."
-
Although he had agreed to have dinner with Lu Jinzhi the night before, Qiao Wu still felt a little uncomfortable after waking up the next day.
This was the first time she had such an ambiguous relationship with someone, something she had never experienced before in her life. She specially went back to her own villa and stood in her cloakroom to think deeply.
What to wear for such an occasion?
It seems that it cannot be too formal, nor too casual.
She forgot to ask yesterday and didn't know where Lu Jinzhi was going to take her for dinner.
After choosing for a long time, she suddenly realized that this shouldn't be Lu Jinzhi's problem. It was her freedom to wear whatever she wanted.
With this in mind, she picked out a light blue coat and put on a scarf, fearing that Lu Jinzhi would tie her up like a dumpling with his sleeves again.
As soon as she went out, she saw a car parked outside her house. Lu Jinzhi was standing outside the car, looking at her.
He was not dressed as formally as he was at work today. He wore a black sweater with a khaki casual lapel coat, which made him look less mature.
Qiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly.
If he dressed too formally, she might start to regret it.
Because she believes that when two people are together, comfort should be the priority, rather than some complicated and unnecessary rituals.
Lu Jinzhi was driving the car himself today. He was more stable when driving than when driving a boat.
There was a light mist on the road in the early winter morning. Qiao Wu still couldn't understand why someone invited her to dinner and she had to go out at seven in the morning. She didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
“Are we going far away?” she asked.
"A little bit." Lu Jinzhi said.
Okay.
He can arrange it.
Soon, the car drove into an upscale residential area.
Lu Jinzhi parked the car in the parking lot and unbuckled his seat belt: "We're here."
Qiao Wu got out of the car with him: "Where is this?"
"Another home."
"Um?"
She looked back in confusion.
“I lived here when I was in college.”
Qiao Wu:?
She was even more confused.
Following Lu Jinshang upstairs, he unlocked the door and entered.
It is a house of about 200 square meters, with simple decoration and furnishings, which is very consistent with Lu Jinzhi's style.
There was someone in the room. Seeing Lu Jinzhi coming, they asked, "Second Young Master, do you want to have breakfast now?"
"Um."
Qiao Wu followed him in bewilderedly. Seeing this, he asked in confusion, "So you brought me to another home just to have breakfast?"
"more than."
Qiao Wu's mind raced for a long time, but he was still confused: "Can I have an explanation?"
Lu Jinzhi took off his coat and raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you were eighteen years old and were by my side, this would probably be the day."
Qiao Wu suddenly stopped moving and looked at him blankly.
Although she drank a little too much last night, she did not lose her memory. She still clearly remembered Lu Jinzhi saying that there were things he couldn't do.
Noticing her condition, Lu Jinzhi hung up her clothes and took off her scarf: "Regrets cannot be made up, but you can have a little more."
"Come on, Wuwu classmate." He hung up his scarf. "If you don't eat breakfast now, you will be late for the lecture."
Now Qiao Wu finally realized what Lu Jinzhi was going to do.
Is it to make up for her regret of not having come to college before?
She couldn't describe how she felt, she just felt it was a bit childish and a bit funny.
But, I'm still a little happy.
It's not like she didn't go to college, it's just not like now.
But she was indeed unfamiliar with the eighteen-year-old Lu Jinzhi. At that time, Lu Jinzhi did not often go home and did not let "her" get close to him.
"You lived here then?"
"Um."
The servant brought breakfast over. Lu Jinzhi pulled out a chair and motioned for her to sit down, explaining briefly, "There's a quarrel at home."
His alma mater is A University, which is far away from Lu's house. He has to study at school and go to the company. He doesn't want to spend so much time on the road every day, so he bought a house between the two lines.
Besides, at that time, the people of the Lu family basically didn’t eat at the same table, so there was no point in going back.
He didn't really want to see "her" at that time.
Qiao Wu sat down and saw the breakfast for two people. He knew that he had asked the chef to come and prepare it in advance. After all, he hadn't been here for a long time.
According to Lu Jinzhi's personality of having everything planned in advance, he had thought of it last night?
"I'm not like you." Qiao Wu said while eating breakfast, "I won't buy a house here. What a loss."
She spent money to buy an apartment just to stay there for four years. If she could grow up normally, she would probably live in the school dormitory and go back to be with her father on weekends.
"It's mine."
"Um?"
Lu Jinzhi raised his eyes: "I am willing to let you, who is eighteen years old, live here."
What's the meaning?
He finished living there, and then let her live there?
Yes, Lu Jinzhi was several years ahead of her.
Qiao Wu thought about it and thought that if it were him at that time, he might have been good friends with Lu Jinzhi when he was eighteen, so this was also a possibility.
She joked, "So generous."
"Eighteen years old." Lu Jinzhi chuckled, "It's not generous, maybe I was the same as I am now."
"Now?"
"Yeah, I'm chasing you just like now."
“…”
Everywhere, unexpectedly.
Lu Jinzhi didn't give her any chance to breathe.
She said coldly: "I'm only eighteen years old."
"Why?" Lu Jinzhi asked with interest, "You are no longer yourself at the age of eighteen?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start imagining what the eighteen-year-old Qiao Wu would be like.
I was younger than I am now, without so much work pressure and without having to worry about trivial matters at home.
She will be freer and bolder to fight for what she wants to do, and her eyes will definitely be bright.
Emotionally, we will be more distant than we are now.
Qiao Wu sat across from him. Seeing his gaze getting deeper and deeper, he had a bad feeling: "Put away your wild imagination."
"I can't stop it." Lu Jinzhi sighed, "I regret it now."
"What's the regret?"
"If I had pursued you four years earlier, we could have gotten the marriage certificate now."
Qiao Wu was so frightened by his blunt words that he choked and kept coughing while patting his chest.
Lu Jinzhi walked over to the island and patted her on the back gently: "Did you get scared?"
After catching his breath, Qiao Wu waved his hand away: "Can you please stop talking nonsense?"
"I'm not talking nonsense." Lu Jinzhi sat back down, looking at her ears, which were red from coughing or embarrassment, and smiled, "I've thought about it. I like you when you were eighteen, too."
Maybe not even eighteen.
As long as she is still herself, as long as the two of them grow up together, the day when he is able to understand love and desire, the first person he sees can only be her.
So he would gather her by his side early, have breakfast with her like he is doing now, and then send her to school.
In the past, Lu Jinzhi felt that as long as he could get her back, there was no need to delve into the past.
But now thinking about it, he felt really regretful.
After dinner, Qiao Wu and Lu Jinzhi went to University A together.
Although it was Sunday, there were still many people in the school, and they would look at the two of them from time to time.
Qiao Wu looked down and asked, "Do I look a bit like a college student?"
Since she asked him to see it, Lu Jinzhi would not be polite.
He openly looked her over from head to toe. When he saw her eyes become dangerous, he raised his hand and gently rubbed her head: "Junior."
"What are you yelling about? I might not even pass the exam."
Lu Jinzhi said with certainty: "If it's you, I can definitely do it."
The two of them came to the school auditorium. There were some names of honorary alumni posted outside, and Lu Jinzhi's name was prominently listed. Qiao Wu turned around and compared the photo with the real person. He looked a little younger in the photo than now, and the look in his eyes when looking at the camera was not like now. Instead, he looked a little indifferent and cold.
Just like Lu Yingchi and others said, he looked down on everyone equally.
Before she could see enough, a hand blocked her eyes.
"Why, you won't let me see it?"
"It's time to donate again." Lu Jinzhi still blocked her view, "Change the photo."
Qiao Wu was happy: "It's not ugly."
She moved Lu Jinzhi's hand away and felt that the young man above him was very handsome and young, much better than the middle-aged men around him. Who could donate a building to the school in the year of graduation? Only Lu Jinzhi could do it.
"ugly."
Lu Jinzhi was very persistent and even pressed her shoulders to turn her in a different direction: "Let's go, we're going to be late."
There is a lecture at school today, and Lu Jinzhi plans to take her in to listen.
The two of them sat in the back row. Seeing that Lu Jinzhi was quieter than before, Qiao Wu turned around and looked at him.
This person is very obvious when expressing his unhappiness, and his expression will be very dull.
Just because of a photo?
Not really.
Lu Jinzhi still has appearance concerns?
Noticing her gaze, Lu Jinzhi turned his head: "Hmm?"
Qiao Wu gave a thumbs up: "Appraisal completed, very handsome."
Lu Jinzhi, whose eyes were somewhat indifferent, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he lowered his eyes and laughed deeply a few times.
"Then please like me quickly." He said gently.
How could it become so bright after just a little bit of color? Qiao Wu sat back down: "...I'm just trying to comfort you, don't repay kindness with hatred."
The smile on Lu Jinzhi's face deepened.
The lecture had already begun and the venue gradually became quiet.
Just as Qiao Wu was about to listen carefully, he felt someone next to him move.
She turned her head and saw Lu Jinzhi approaching her. Their eyes suddenly met at this moment.
Too close.
It was so close that she felt she could even feel Lu Jinzhi's breath in a trance.
She suddenly understood what Lu Jinzhi meant when he said, "It's hard to hide love."
The young man with cold eyes in the photo was now in front of her, with warm and strong emotions in his eyes, which was clearly visible at a glance.
Qiao Wu blinked subconsciously.
The next second, she saw Lu Jinzhi raise his hand. She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Lu Jinzhi just gently turned her head to the other side, diverting their gazes.
What Qiao Wu saw was a long row of seats in the front and a teacher speaking on the stage.
But there was a different sound in my ears.
Lu Jinzhi's voice was very soft, and it sounded in sync with the sound of the venue's speakers, but it was very clear.
"If you were eighteen years old, I wouldn't be like that," he whispered in her ear.
Someone will tell him to express his emotions.
He won't be that cold and selfish jerk.
Qiao Wu's heart trembled slightly with the vibration of the speakers.
She suddenly wanted to see what Lu Jinzhi's expression was now, but Lu Jinzhi's hand was still exerting a little pressure on the back of her head, so she didn't turn around.
"Are you going to compete with Lu Xuan for his job too?" she asked with a smile. Realizing that she had no intention of leaving, Lu Jinzhi gradually loosened his grip, but his hand had already covered the back of her head and gently slid down, hovering at the back of her neck, just about to fall.
He now felt that showing weakness in front of Qiao Wu seemed to be a very interesting thing.
This person is soft-hearted and does not like to be tough. It seems like there is a ball of cotton in his heart. Once touched, he will sink into it and be wrapped up little by little, tightly.
He smiled almost imperceptibly: "Hmm?"
"Have you forgotten the common flaws of traditional overbearing CEOs?" Qiao Wu said in a relaxed tone, "No one is perfect. It's normal to coexist with your own shortcomings. Don't be so paranoid."
"So, don't entertain the thought that 'I'm weird, I'm different from everyone else in the world.'" Qiao Wu thought for a moment. "Have you ever seen the TV series where Lu Xuan plays a domineering CEO? You don't want to end up like that, do you?"
Lu Jinzhi didn't expect her to say that. After the initial shock, he couldn't help but lower his head and laughed.
He was already close to Qiao Wu, and now his forehead rested lightly on her shoulder. As he smiled, their foreheads would occasionally touch through their clothes.
Qiao Wu was a little stiff.
But thinking about the man's emotions just now, he endured it again.
Leaning on him with stiff shoulders.
Then she felt someone gently pressing the back of her neck.
Lu Jinzhi's hand, which was about to fall, finally came down, covering the warmth he had coveted for so long. He smiled and said, "Woo woo, so cute."
"..." Qiao Wu turned around, holding his head that was resting on his shoulder with both hands, and pushed him away with his forehead. "Lu Jinzhi, you are simply the epitome of someone who pushes the issue further."
Lu Jinzhi readily agreed: "Businessmen are like this, if they can grab a little bit, they will not let go."
As for those who cannot be caught.
I will also find ways to seize it and make that opportunity my own.
Qiao Wu slapped him hard on the forehead, and then he saw a flash of light.
She turned around and found someone holding a camera facing her and Lu Jinzhi.
At the same time, the teacher's voice came from the speakers: "Lu Jinzhi, the president of Lu's Group, was also my student in the past. He is also here today. Next, I will invite him to share some of his experience with everyone."
Qiao Wu: “…”
She abruptly withdrew her hand and looked at Lu Jinzhi in shock.
Why is there this link?!
"I told the teacher yesterday that we'd add two more people, so I have to show up." Lu Jinzhi straightened his clothes and stood up, "Wait for me."
The person holding the camera was taking pictures frantically, but Qiao Wu's face was still stiff.
She has never made such a fool of herself outside!
She sat back down, and when Lu Jinzhi passed by her, she lowered her voice and said, "Lu Jinzhi, you've lost a hundred today."
Lu Jinzhi lowered his eyes to look at her red face and couldn't help laughing: "I know, I will keep working hard."
When Qiao Wu saw him walking up to the stage in a serious manner, he was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Who is this person!
Try your best to reach negative 1000, and then kick him off the list of suitors!
No one could have expected Lu Jinzhi to appear at the lecture at A University. This person has always been a legend at A University, but he has rarely appeared since his appearance, and even the magazine interview was a long time ago.
So this time he suddenly came on stage, shocking many students in the audience.
Everyone took out their phones to take pictures.
University A would not miss this opportunity. As soon as they learned from the teacher that Lu Jinzhi would attend, they arranged for people to come and take pictures in order to write a report.
The lecture had just ended when the photos and reports came out.
Even Qiao Wu, who appeared but did not go on stage, was brought along.
On the way back, Guo Liyan sent the relevant report to Qiao Wu's mobile phone.
Since many students also posted it on social platforms, it became a hot topic.
Qiao Wu clicked on it and saw that the official pictures were quite serious. They were photos of her and Lu Jinzhi sitting together and talking. There was nothing special about them except that they were a little close to each other. The title was "Lu Jinzhi, President of Lu Corporation, and Qiao Wu, Chairman of Lu Corporation Charity Foundation, came to University A today to exchange experiences with students."
Qiao Wu quickly hung up his phone, not daring to read any reports about himself for the first time.
After all, these people didn't know what strange topic Lu Jinzhi was talking to her about at that time.
"I won't accept your invitation again in the short term," she said with a dull face.
"It's okay." Lu Jinzhi was very flexible. "It's the same if we eat at home."
“…”
At this time, Lu Xuan, who was far away in Hong Kong, had just finished a filming. Because he was a supporting role and did not have many scenes, he would be able to wrap up in a few days.
He sat in a corner reading the script. While the props crew was moving the set, Jiang Qi came over to him and asked, "How's it going? Do you understand the next scene?"
Seeing what Lu Xuan was holding, Jiang Qi laughed heartily. "Oh, it looks like you'll be a great actor. You've torn several pages of the script apart. Aren't the only parts left the romance?"
Lu Xuan didn't even raise his head: "What qualifications do divorced people have to speak?"
“…”
This brat really can't speak.
"You still expect this script to teach you something." Jiang Qi also stabbed him, "Then you might as well read some more romance novels."
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan actually raised his head: "Is it useful?"
"It's useless." Jiang Qi sneered, "If you can't even understand your own feelings, how can you rely on these words? Remember to sit at the children's table at the wrap party."
As expected, there is no common language with divorced people.
Lu Xuan threw the script aside and took out his cell phone.
He subconsciously clicked on the pinned post and opened the previous chat history.
He reported his filming progress to her every day, and most of the time she just responded in a businesslike manner.
But there were a few exceptions. When Lu Xuan was thinking about those exceptions, Qiao Wu would occasionally tell him about the situation at home.
She said there was a new cat at home, which was picked up by Lu Ning and its name was Wuwu.
Call out "wooooo".
He suddenly missed his Wuwu too.
Qiao Wu told him to plan himself well and have a clear understanding of the relationship between him and her. He spent so much time thinking about it, but it was still vague, so he didn't dare to call her.
Afraid that she would think he was useless.
After he finished flipping through the pages, he opened the dialogue editor and said, "I'm about to wrap up filming. Do you want to come?"
After a while, I deleted the last half of the sentence.
I sent the message “I’m about to finish filming”.
After sending the message, he immediately exited the dialog box and started browsing various apps on his phone in an attempt to cover up his mistake.
Suddenly, two names on the hot search caught his attention. He clicked on them and saw that they were about work.
He took a quick glance and planned to leave. Where Lu Jinzhi went or what he did was none of his business.
But when I slid the screen down, I suddenly saw another highly liked private Weibo post.
Lu Jinzhi and Qiao Wu were sitting in the last row, with Qiao Wu putting both hands on Lu Jinzhi's head.
Lu Jinzhi, who has always been arrogant and never bowed his head, lowered his head slightly and allowed her to touch him.
Lu Xuan's fingertips paused.
My eyes fixed on the picture, and an indescribable emotion suddenly emerged.
Jiang Qi, who had returned to his position in the distance, shouted with a loud speaker, "Lu Xuan, take your positions!"
Lu Xuan took one last look at the picture, clicked save, then threw the phone into his assistant's arms and walked into the venue.
Jiang Qi was really worried that this brat wouldn't be able to act out the emotional scenes well, so he repeatedly told him, "Be more immersive. You're asking for it but it won't come."
Lu Xuan: “…”
"It's jealousy."
“…”
“You can’t touch it!”
Lu Xuan couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted Jiang Qi for the first time: "Can you stop talking?"
Jiang Qi: "Aren't you a primary school kid? Let me explain it to you in detail so you can feel it better."
"No need." Lu Xuan's face was grim. "It's very immersive."
I'm already getting angry.
What? There is no difference between gender between her and Lu Jinzhi?
He wanted to take the photo back, print it out, and throw it at Qiao Wu's face, oh no, at his body!
Then make up for what you have lost these days!
He also wants to be touched!
