Chapter 75 I Didn't Want to End
The car ride back to Lu's house was very quiet.
Lu Xuan, whose face was blown crooked by the cold wind, finally felt that the air had become a little normal. He looked ahead and saw that Qiao Wu had turned his head towards the window the whole time, sticking to the door and far away from Lu Jinzhi.
This is normal!
While Lu Jinzhi was driving, there was a very strange smile on his face.
It's not normal again.
What happened during the time he was away from home?
When I got home, the other two were still awake, but I didn't seem surprised to see them come back together.
As soon as she saw the dazed Lu Xuan, Lu Ning cautiously ran to get the breathalyzer: "Come here."
“…”
Lu Xuan grabbed her ears and said, "Now you dare to act like a jerk on my head?"
Lu Ning, who was being dragged, was fearless: "We have a little one at home now. As Wuwu's older sister, I have to take good care of him in every way. Drunks are not allowed to get close to him."
Who wants to see your kitten?
But when Lu Xuan heard the word "wuwu", he subconsciously looked back. Qiao Wu was drinking water at the table. She just smiled when she heard it. She didn't seem to object to this name at all and even liked it.
He drove Lu Ning away: "Take it away, I'm not drunk, cat... where's Wuwu?"
"Second uncle's room."
“…”
"?"
Where?
Qiao Wu only told him that there was a new cat, but he didn't tell him that it was in Lu Jinzhi's room.
Lu Jinzhi allowed a cat to mess around in his room?
Lu Ning, holding the tester, moved in front of her second uncle again. She was about to test her second uncle as well, but when she saw the other uncle's half-smile, she immediately put her hands behind her back.
"Second Uncle," she asked cautiously, "Wuwu is a month old now. She doesn't need to be fed so many times every night. How about bringing her to my room?"
Although her second uncle agreed to let her enter his room, she felt uncomfortable every time she entered.
Lu Jinzhi casually asked, "No final exams yet?"
"What does this have to do with my final exam?"
Lu Jinzhi glanced at her and said, "Put it in your room. Are you going to look after the cat or read a book?"
Of course it's... both.
Lu Ning was not very confident, so she had to turn around and look at Qiao Wu for help.
However, this time Qiao Wu did agree with Lu Jinzhi's approach. Putting the cat in Lu Ning's room was a given. This child must not have enough self-control and could not concentrate on studying. It would be better to let the cat go after the final exam. That way, she would get used to it when school started.
"Listen to your second uncle."
Lu Ning's eyes lost their luster: "Oh."
Being ignored, Lu Xuan's face darkened: "Can you still see me? Can you hear me? I said I want to see the cat."
Lu Ning put the breathalyzer away, feeling quite familiar with the place: "Come on, I'll take you there."
The two of them got on the elevator together. Lu Xuan glanced back and asked, "Where's Lu Yingchi?"
"He's been busy studying lately, and he doesn't have time for professional competitions."
It turns out he's not the only one who's going through withdrawal.
Lu Xuan's mentality calmed down a little, and when he looked again, he saw that Lu Jinzhi's monkey had rushed in front of Qiao Wu again, and his doubts deepened.
"Lu Ning."
"Um?"
"Do you think Lu Jinzhi is a little strange?"
Lu Ning was used to it: "He's always been weird."
"It's gotten even stranger lately," Lu Xuan said. "He actually agreed to keep the cat in his room. Today, he even picked me up from get off work and drove me himself. Maybe he's done too many bad things and it's finally paying off, and his brain is broken."
"Pick you up from get off work?"
Lu Ning looked up at him with deep suspicion in her eyes.
"Wait for me, I'll go down and test you."
You're already talking nonsense.
Lu Xuan patted her head, feeling very disappointed: "Didn't you see we came back together?"
"That." Lu Ning said as if it was normal. "He comes back with Qiao Wu every day recently."
As for whether he drove the car himself, she didn't know.
"Wuwu was originally kept in Qiao Wu's room, but later on, I don't know how it suddenly ended up here with Second Uncle."
“…”
The elevator arrived, and Lu Ning walked up to the room and opened the door expertly. "Maybe it's because Second Uncle's room is convenient for parkour, it's quite spacious!"
Lu Xuan had no recollection of Lu Jinzhi's room. He only vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he played hide-and-seek with Qiao Wu. He left Qiao Wu at the door of Lu Jinzhi's room. When he turned around, Lu Jinzhi had already kidnapped Qiao Wu into the room and held him hostage. No matter how much he cried, he would not open the door.
He remembered it very clearly because Lu Jinzhi confiscated his snacks for a week that time.
He gave it all to Qiao Wu, saying it was compensation for mental damage.
This time he came in openly and found that Lu Jinzhi's room was not that mysterious after all. It was as simple as it could be.
In the middle, there was a large nest and cage that was different from Lengdanfeng's, with bottles and jars beside it. Inside, a little calico was crawling around clumsily with round eyes.
It really looks like Wuwu when he was a child and couldn't walk yet.
He walked forward, squatted down, and gently scratched the cat's chin: "Why is it so small?"
"Woo woo, call uncle."
Lu Xuan was speechless.
What a stupid brain! Can cats talk?
and……
"You should call me Third Uncle."
I couldn't even figure out my generation, so I failed the final exam.
"I'm Wuwu's sister." Lu Ning also squatted down, "Of course you're its uncle."
"Isn't this yours? Why call you sister?"
"But Second Uncle and Qiao Wu fed it. Qiao Wu is its mother."
Lu Xuan paused and asked, "What about Lu Jinzhi?"
"Dad," Lu Ning said, secretly pleased with her business acumen. "Second Uncle used a huge transfer to secure custody of Wuwu. Lu Yingchi, penniless, has been kicked out of the group chat. Are you interested in competing?"
What a mess.
Lu Jinzhi could do such a childish thing, so why would he fight to be a father?
Lu Xuan silently counted his film remuneration, plus the living expenses given by Qiao Wu. Since he stopped buying those messy things and attending any parties, the speed at which he spent money dropped sharply, so that he actually did not spend all the 100,000 yuan that Qiao Wu gave him.
He asked very casually, "How much did he give you?"
Lu Ning showed him her Alipay balance.
"Damn it." Lu Xuan's eyes widened. "You still say he's crazy?!"
He was unwilling to use the card given by Lu Jinzhi, because in the end it would still be Lu Jinzhi's money that was spent.
But it seems unrealistic to give all the remuneration to Lu Ning.
"Next time, for sure." He withdrew his thoughts in disappointment, "Wait for me to come back after the filming is finished next time."
“Oh~”
Lu Ning sees through everything.
It seems that only the second uncle can be the real overlord in this family.
"I'm sorry, you've been kicked out of the group chat too, Uncle Wuwuta."
"Add me in." Although he couldn't participate in the competition for the time being, Lu Xuan could still give her a small red envelope. "Keep an eye on Lu Jinzhi. I still think there's something wrong with him."
"Sure, sure."
Lu Xuan remembered that when he eavesdropped on Lu Jinzhi and Qiao Wu's conversation that morning, Lu Jinzhi did not agree with the idea of quitting at all, which meant that he was still going in and out with Qiao Wu every day.
But Qiao Wu originally said to wait and see, so how could he agree to it?
"Are they on good terms now?"
"fine."
Although her second uncle said that he liked Qiao Wu, Lu Ning always remembered what Qiao Wu said, not to mention such things in front of adults, so she didn't say anything.
"Why do you think that is?"
Lu Ning collected the red envelope and thought carefully with her mind, which had recently been influenced by the master: "He can talk to Qiao Wu."
"We don't have mouths?"
Lu Ning didn't know how to explain: "But usually it's Qiao Wu who talks to us."
Although she spoke incoherently, Lu Xuan, who was on the same wavelength as her, listened to her.
He inexplicably thought of the notes that Qiao Wu and Lu Jinzhi had hidden in the library for so many years, and it suddenly dawned on him that the two had been able to speak on the same level a long time ago.
And he was the one who had always been standing behind Qiao Wu.
After a long silence, Lu Xuan pinched the kitten's neck and asked again, "Why is it so small?"
How come the other birds have grown up, but you are still so small?
He stood up and pressed Lu Ning's head: "Remember to do the job after you take the money, okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm a professional. Qiao Wu even found a teacher to teach me photography."
This behavior sounded very familiar. Lu Xuan thought for a long time before finding the similarities in his memory. He slapped her head and said, "...I didn't ask you to be a paparazzi."
As the end of the semester approached, Lu Ning quickly retreated to her room to study.
Lu Yingchi has been very busy recently, so she has to review with Zhong Shixia according to her schedule, otherwise she will have to go to bed.
Thinking of her important task, she went to the first floor temporarily. Lu Yingchi was still sitting there holding a video conference with other classmates, but Qiao Wu and her second uncle were gone.
"Where's Qiao Wu?"
Lu Yingchi glanced back and said, "Go wash your hands."
"What about Second Uncle?"
"Wash your hands too." Lu Yingchi sneered, "You have to come in groups just to wash your hands, you elementary school students."
Lu Ning nodded.
There's nothing strange about this, it's just washing your hands.
At this time, in front of the sink on the first floor, Qiao Wu had washed her hands with hand sanitizer several times, but still couldn't wash away the strange feeling of being touched on her hands. She didn't believe it and squeezed another pump of hand sanitizer.
Lu Jinzhi leaned against the wall behind her and smiled when he saw her, "Are you that disgusted?"
Qiao Wu said expressionlessly, "Yes."
"You were the first one to cover my face." Lu Jinzhi smiled, "Then shouldn't I wash my face too?"
Qiao Wu rinsed his hands, picked up the hand sanitizer and pointed it at his face, which looked completely unrepentant: "Do you want me to help you?"
Lu Jinzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, not caring that it was hand sanitizer, and actually leaned forward slightly and closed his eyes: "Okay."
“…”
Qiao Wu felt as powerless as if he was punching cotton. This man was unmoved.
Don't think she doesn't know he did it on purpose.
Lu Jinzhi maintained this action and did not wait for her to move, and said softly, "Hmm?"
Because he was smiling the whole time, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, which seemed to have a gentle and indulgent meaning.
Qiao Wu inexplicably recalled the vague feeling of touch when he deliberately leaned on his hand while talking in the car, and suddenly wanted to wash his hands again.
She put down the hand sanitizer: "I don't want to reward you."
Lu Jinzhi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing. When he opened his eyes, his black eyes were full of smiles.
"Lu Jinzhi." Qiao Wu turned and leaned against the sink, slowly wiping his hands and asked him, "Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Qiao Wu smiled and said, "There's no way to end this later."
Her relationship with Lu Jinzhi was originally special. The reason she agreed to his pursuit was that she thought it would be better to let nature take its course, but Lu Jinzhi obviously did not take letting nature take its course to heart.
In this case, if it doesn't work out in the future, she can't imagine how Lu Jinzhi, with his personality, will deal with it.
Because of his special personality, he would unconsciously please himself, so he would only do things that made him feel satisfied and happy at the moment. Qiao Wu was worried that he would end up in big trouble.
Lu Jinzhi straightened up slightly, took two steps towards her, and they stood face to face.
Occasionally, there were servants coming and going. He remembered what Qiao Wu said, so he kept his voice low.
"Why did you end it?" He seemed to be asking himself, and then he fixed his gaze on her eyes. "That day in the hospital, you told me you didn't know why you did that."
Qiao Wu raised his eyelids: "Hmm?"
Lu Jinzhi: "You are willing to disregard your life for a reason that we don't even know. So now that I know my purpose, why should I care about other things?"
Qiao Wu was a little startled.
Lu Jinzhi leaned over to look her in the eye, his gaze focused, revealing the emotions in his eyes. He curled his lips slightly and said, "You know, it's hard for me to perceive other people's emotions, so when I can clearly feel that I like you, it means that I am hopeless."
"Woo woo." He called her gently, his eyes soaked in water. "For you, it's an option, but for me..."
He paused.
However, Qiao Wu could hear what he had not finished saying, because the man's eyes were not gentle at all, as if he was about to do something.
He never makes a hysterical noise or expresses his wishes so strongly. He just looks at you quietly, his silence speaking louder than a thousand words.
Reason told her that she should not get close to such a person.
Once you get involved, you can't escape.
But in her conception of love, a lover who is loyal to her until death is her ideal.
Lu Jinzhi smiled and said, "There is no second option for me."
Indeed, Lu Ning was right.
For people like Lu Jinzhi, there is always something bad happening when they smile.
Qiao Wu felt that she might have some problems, because when she saw this straightforward and morbid determination, she actually felt a strange sense of security.
She raised the corner of her eye slightly: "What should we do, Lu Jinzhi?"
"What should we do?" Lu Jinzhi repeated her words, thought seriously for a moment, and smiled calmly, "Then let it be hopeless. I don't want this to end."
Qiao Wu looked at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Lu Jinzhi, you're seventy."
Thirty points added.
Still a negative number.
Lu Jinzhi laughed and rubbed her head lightly: "Thank you for your hard work, please do your best."
