Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Home entanglement
Chapter 7
In the evening, the hot sun cooled down and a golden-pink glow appeared on the horizon.
A car stopped in front of Ruan Mansion. Ruan Yan got out of the car with a bag of seeds in her arms and a smile on her face.
In the afternoon, she took Xiao Wen to the nearby flower and bird market and still gained a lot.
"Let's start with the easy ones. How about the summer violets and geraniums?"
"Okay, okay—"
The two were about to enter the door when they saw a figure standing on the other side of the door.
Ruan Yan turned her head and saw a handsome boy wearing a white T-shirt and clean sneakers. He looked like he had been waiting here for a while.
"Hello," he greeted Ruan Yan a little stiffly, then his eyes fell on the person next to her, "Xiao Wen..."
Ruan Yan suddenly realized it and nodded at him, then asked Xiao Wen: "Do you know him? Is he your classmate?"
Xiao Wen was surprised by the other party's appearance. She just hummed in surprise and forgot to say anything.
Lu Yanli? Why is he here?
Xiao Wen's brain short-circuited a bit.
"Hello sister, I am Xiao Wen's classmate, my name is Lu Yanli." He said politely.
Ruan Yan had a good impression of the boy. She handed the seed in her arms to the driver, Uncle Ding, and turned to the boy and said, "Did you come here specifically to see our Xiao Wen? It's so hot, come in and sit down."
"It's okay, I live next to you." Lu Yanli pointed to the house not far away, then looked at Xiao Wen cautiously, "I... I have some questions about my homework, can I ask you for help?"
Xiao Wen didn't look at him, but bit her lip and whispered, "Okay..."
Live next door?
Ruan Yan glanced at the direction he pointed, and at the same time grasped the key point of his words. His last name was Lu, and Lu Peishi's last name was also Lu. There was no one else living over there. Could it be that he was Lu Peishi's... son?!
If you look closely, you can see that there is some similarity between their eyebrows and eyes.
But the age doesn't seem to match.
"You live in that house, and Lu Peishi is yours..."
"He's my brother," Lu Yanli's eyes lit up. "Do you know my brother? Are you familiar with him?"
He was secretly happy in his heart, because this way he could do homework with Xiao Wen often in the future.
Ruan Yan laughed dryly: "...It's okay."
I just don't know if that guy is willing to get to know her.
"Sister, can I come to your house when I'm free in the future?" Lu Yanli thought about it and said, "Or, if Xiao Wen is free, can you come to my place to do homework?"
Ruan Yan looked at Xiao Wen and said, "Well, you should ask Xiao Wen's opinion first. If her mother agrees, then it's fine."
Xiao Wen stared at the tip of her shoes nervously and said nothing.
The sunlight dyed her short hair a light golden color, and the ends of her hair were a little frizzy and malnourished, making her look fragile and thin.
Lu Yanli nodded politely: "Okay."
It can be seen that he has a good upbringing and is a very humble person.
Although they are both children from wealthy families, there is a huge difference between him and those young boys who bullied Xiao Wen before.
But, is this really Lu Peishi's biological brother? Ruan Yan was surprised. How could their personalities be so different...
*
Passing through the entrance hall with Baroque-style murals, you come to the spacious and bright living room, where the soft carpet under your feet absorbs all the footsteps.
"Xiao Wen, you sit here. Sister, you sit too." Facing his two guests, Lu Yanli was extremely active in entertaining them, fearing that he would neglect them in any way.
Ruan Yan sank lightly onto the sofa, glancing around intentionally or unintentionally: "Is your brother not here today?"
Lu Yanli handed them two glasses of juice and replied, "My brother went out early in the morning."
"Oh." Ruan Yan nodded.
After returning home that day, Ruan Yan understood what Xiao Wen meant from her attitude. After Xiao Wen obtained Aunt Wang's consent, Ruan Yan found that she seemed to still be worried about something.
After repeated questioning, Xiao Wen stammered and told her dilemma. If Lu Yanli came to Ruan's house, she was worried that it would affect her mother's work. If she went to Lu Yanli's house alone, she felt it was not very convenient.
Ruan Yan could understand her. Aunt Wang has always been dedicated to her work. Seeing her child bring a classmate of the opposite sex to the workplace, she would definitely be distracted from time to time.
No matter how you think about it, Lu Peishi's home is more suitable for two children to do homework and study together.
Ruan Yan immediately patted her chest and said, "I can go with you."
Getting along well with Lu Peishi's younger brother is also a way to indirectly bring him closer.
If we take a roundabout way to save the country, we may be able to overtake others soon.
Besides, she was bored staying at home, so it would be nice to visit her neighbors and chat to kill time.
So she took the initiative to accompany Xiao Wen here.
After eating some fruit, they went upstairs to the study to start doing their homework.
The two children sat together upright, with papers, exercise books and draft books spread out on the table.
Xiao Wen was explaining a math problem in detail, and the tip of her pen made a slight rustling sound on the paper.
Lu Yanli listened very carefully, and from time to time he bent down to write something on the paper.
Ruan Yan found this harmonious and harmonious picture really pleasing to the eye.
There is no need to say anything about our Xiao Wen, she is smart, hardworking, cute and has a good personality.
This little Lu is not bad. He is still thinking about his homework during the summer vacation. It seems that he is very eager to learn. It is rare for him to have such a good family background, good looks, and such a passionate heart for learning.
Look, this is what the future pillars of the motherland should look like.
Ruan Yan withdrew her head that had been gently poking into the study, decided not to disturb them anymore, and wandered around on her own.
Lu Peishi's house is very big and the courtyard is very beautiful.
There are pavilions and waterside pavilions, lush green plants, and winding cobblestone paths. Next to them are several tall and straight Podocarpus trees with lush branches and leaves, their crowns like umbrellas.
The antique Chinese style is gorgeous but not luxurious, but exudes simplicity, elegance and tranquility everywhere.
It's not quite what I imagined. I thought that with Lu Peishi's arrogant and difficult personality, the style of his home must be extremely luxurious.
Ruan Yan looked at the large fish pond not far away, beside which were two large bamboo lounge chairs.
She thought that it must be very pleasant to lie here at night and stare at the moon.
After a casual stroll, Ruan Yan finally nestled back into the big sofa in the living room. On the table were fruits cut by her aunt and a bunch of snacks brought by Lu Yanli.
She was eating and watching TV, and before she knew it, her head tilted, her eyelids drooped, and she fell asleep.
…
"Brother A Shi, you won't leave this time, right?" The pretty girl who spoke was leaning lazily on the seat, with sunglasses on her head, her shiny nails tapping the car window lightly, and a pair of well-proportioned and slender legs crossed under her tight skirt.
The man in the driver's seat replied nonchalantly: "Not necessarily, it depends on the situation."
"Oh, don't leave," the girl pouted her peach-colored lips, revealing half of her fair face covered by brown curly hair. "Since you left, how many times have we met in all these years?"
The tone of her voice, coupled with the upturned corners of her eyes, was soft and charming.
Lu Peishi looked straight ahead and said, "You fly all over the place all day long. Even if I were in City C, I wouldn't see you very often."
"At least when I'm on vacation, it's more convenient for us to have dinner together. You're the busy one, and you're still blaming me." Luna expressed her dissatisfaction. "I don't care. This time I happen to be on vacation, and it's a rare opportunity to catch you back. I'm going to pester you."
Lu Peishi chuckled and said nothing.
The sea of cars with flashing taillights began to move slowly, and the traffic jam that had lasted for half a day finally eased.
"By the way," Luna seemed to remember something, "what happened to the woman who was photographed with you last time?"
Lu Peishi's brows knitted slightly: "An insignificant person."
His attitude confirmed Luna's thoughts: "That woman deliberately used you to stir up news, right?"
In her circle, similar people and things are endless, and she has always despised these little secret actions the most.
Lu Peishi didn't answer.
Luna was still angry: "I've seen this kind of woman many times. She has ulterior motives and is always trying to take advantage of others to get a shortcut..."
The car drove down the overpass and the road gradually became clear. That was the direction back to Lu Pei's home.
"Are you living here now?" As she spoke, Luna opened the car door and her slender high heels clicked to the ground.
She looked around curiously. "You know what, even though it looks a bit old, the environment is quite nice and quite artistic."
Luna followed Lu Peishi into the house: "Hey, is Xiaoli living here with you now? Where is he? I'll go..."
After seeing the girl napping on the sofa in the living room, Luna was stunned and her voice stopped abruptly.
After a few seconds, he stared and asked, "Brother Shi, who is this woman?"
Lu Peishi was also stunned for a moment, then he suddenly remembered that before leaving the house in the morning, Xiao Li had said that his classmate would come to his house today to help him with his homework. The classmate lived next door, and her sister came with her.
From Xiao Li's scattered introductions, he roughly learned that this classmate's mother was a live-in nanny who worked in the Ruan Mansion and she also lived in the Ruan family.
"She's a very good student. She's the one who was almost bullied at the school gate last time," Xiao Li said, scooping up some porridge with a spoon. "Brother, you're not home most of the time, and I'm really bored. I'll ask a classmate to help with homework. I can always ask her for help if I don't understand something, okay?"
Lu Peishi had some impression of the skinny and weak girl. He nodded and said, "You should study hard too. Don't delay other people's studies."
He knew that the eldest daughter of the Ruan family would come today, but he had two meetings in the afternoon and was too busy to do, so he forgot about it for a while.
At this moment, Ruan Yan, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a burst of voices. She opened her eyelids in a daze and vaguely saw two figures standing in front of her.
He rubbed his eyes and recognized one of them, Lu Peishi.
Ruan Yan subconsciously stood up from the sofa and smiled with her eyes curved: "Brother Pei Shi, you're back."
"What do you call him, Brother Pei Shi?" Luna next to him clicked her tongue and took another look. Wait, why does this person look so familiar... Oh right, isn't this that guy!
Only then did Ruan Yan notice the woman beside Lu Peishi. She had big eyes, an oval face, and skin as pale as milk. She wore a berry-red knitted halter top that revealed her perfectly angled shoulders. Her wavy hair cascaded lazily, revealing her sexy and charming side.
A very aggressive kind of beauty.
She walked up to Ruan Yan in her stilettos and said unhappily, "You're the one who was photographed with Brother Shi?"
There is a fragrance lingering in the air, which is the fresh yerba mate mixed with the fragrant and sweet golden osmanthus, and faintly seems to be mixed with the light scent of iris and cedar.
A bold yet gentle fragrance.
"Did you deliberately hire paparazzi? Let me tell you, don't think I don't know your little thoughts. I've seen a lot of people like you." Luna crossed her arms across her chest and questioned her aggressively.
Even though she chased the person all the way to her home, Luna still underestimated the means and dignity of this young lady from the Ruan family.
Ruan Yan stared at the other person with wide eyes without saying a word.
Luna was quite annoyed by her gaze. What's going on? Are you trying to fight me?
Lu Peishi, who was standing next to her, felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he pulled Luna and indicated that she was going a bit too far.
Luna had no intention of letting it go and kept on pestering me: "Why, taking pictures wasn't enough, now you want to come to my house and harass me, right? You..."
"Luna!" Ruan Yan suddenly shouted, "You are Luna, right?"
Luna was stunned for a moment, then she shouted again: "It's... it's me, so what?"
Being recognized...it doesn't matter, she doesn't really care about her image anyway.
"I'm telling you, don't think about hitting on Brother Shi. Give up on that idea as soon as possible."
"Luna, it's really you!"
"You already have a boyfriend, what do you want..."
"Luna, I, I like you so much! I'm your fan!" Ruan Yan couldn't help but pull her hand excitedly.
Luna: “…”
ha? ? ?
?
Lu Peishi: “…”
