Chapter 106 106 Lu Xuan: Coaxing your wife is a skill...
Lu Xuan didn't respond to his words, but just said lightly, "Guess."
Carl: “…”
Master, when did you become the Riddler?
Before Karl could figure out the whole story, Lu Xuan got up and left.
He sent the address to Pei Qi early on, and in order to avoid being late, he went to the restaurant an hour earlier to wait.
He looked at the communicator over and over again, his heart itching as if it had been scratched by a kitten.
Half an hour later.
Pei Qi went to the address given by the other party. Judging from the man's serious tone when speaking, he thought that he must be an elderly man. However, he was stunned when he saw him. The man was sitting by the window. The breeze blew the hair on his forehead, and the thin sunlight cast a layer of golden glow on him.
"Hello, are you the person who provided the clue?" Pei Qi asked tentatively.
"Yes, please sit down."
"oh."
Lu Xuan picked up the menu and handed it over. "What do you want to eat? Order it yourself. I heard that this place makes very good desserts. You can try it later to see if it suits your taste."
Pei Qi gave an unnatural laugh and said, "No need. Just ask the waiter to bring me a glass of water."
He clenched his hands nervously and asked anxiously, "Um, can you tell me Lu Xuan's information now? Is he doing well? Has he eaten on time? Also, how can you be sure that person is the Lu Xuan I'm looking for? Many people have given me clues before, but when I checked, I found that they were not the person I was looking for. I just want to confirm it again."
"How do you know they're not the ones you want?" Lu Xuan asked.
Pei Maomao frowned and explained carefully: "It doesn't feel right, and the details don't match."
"If, I mean if, if Lu Xuan stood in front of you, would you be able to recognize him?" Lu Xuan stared at Pei Qi, as if trying to get the answer from his face.
Hearing this, Pei Maomao nodded as a matter of course, "Of course, even if he turned into ashes, I would still be able to recognize him!"
"Do you think I look familiar to you?" Lu Xuan looked at him hopefully.
Pei Maomao pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and accused, "I came here this time to have a serious talk with you about Lu Xuan. You're such a weird person. Why do you always bring the topic up to yourself? I don't care about your affairs at all. I just want to know where Ah Xuan is and how he's doing. You haven't even answered my questions directly."
Lu Xuan subconsciously clenched his back teeth.

What a hellish joke this is.
Seeing that Pei Qi was about to get anxious, Lu Xuan slowly said, "He's in the barracks now. The army has rules, and he can't leave. However, he mentioned you to me. As soon as I saw the missing person notice, I contacted you immediately. If you're worried, I can find him later and ask for some photos of him when he was a child."
When Pei Qi heard that Lu Xuan was in the military camp, he frowned and muttered in dissatisfaction, "They really are not good to Ah Xuan."
He muttered very quietly, but Lu Xuan still heard it clearly.
"Why do you think they treat Lu Xuan badly?" Lu Xuan asked softly, supporting his chin, his azure eyes staring at him intently.
Pei Maomao bit her lip lightly and questioned dissatisfiedly, "How old is he? Why send him to the military? He's obviously better at studying. How much suffering will he have to endure in a place like that? Even if he longs to join the army, the right path for him should be to graduate from the military academy and apply to the army, instead of letting him give up the path he's good at."
Pei Qi felt very depressed when he mentioned this, and his eyes turned red. "Soldiers are in such danger, and those bugs are so hard to deal with. I think they just want Ah Xuan's retirement pay. If he survives, those people can take a lot of retirement pay from Ah Xuan's pocket. If he dies on the battlefield, it would be even better. The pension is double the retirement pay. This business is a sure win, why wouldn't those people be happy..."
Lu Xuan's eyes darkened. A little crybaby is a little crybaby. He started crying before he could even finish a few words.
He said hesitantly, "Maybe he's not doing as badly as you think."
Bruno had never been harsh on him in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but he was a little strict with him. He had been living under someone else's roof since he was a child and was used to having to look at other people's faces, so it was okay with him.
Since he returned home, he rarely stayed at home. Most of the time, he lived alone outside. Bruno would assign one or two people to take care of his daily life, and the two of them did not interfere with each other.
Tick.
Tick.
The tears rolled down one by one and hit the white tablecloth, staining the flower buds one by one. "You don't have to pick up nice words to lie to me. If he wasn't busy with his own affairs, he wouldn't ignore me, and he wouldn't be so quiet."
"He must have had a hard time."
“Crack.”
Lu Xuan pulled out a chair and half-knelt in front of him, his blue eyes looking at him with concern, "Okay, don't cry, I didn't mean to make you sad."
He raised his hand, trying to gently wipe away the tears from Pei Qi's eyes as he had done before. However, who was he to help Pei Qi wipe away his tears? His raised hand froze in mid-air, caught in a dilemma.
Pei Qi pursed his lips and laughed dryly, "It's okay, I'm just a little worried about him. Besides, the person you're talking about might not be Lu Xuan. It could be someone with the same name. This isn't the first time a mistake like this has happened."
"He said, 'You like sweets,' so I brought you to this restaurant. After all, besides desserts, this restaurant also makes pretty good braised meat. He said, 'You're a meat lover. You're too lazy to pick the bones out of fish or peel the shrimp. You always have to wait for others to prepare it for you.'"
Because of this, he always picked out the fish bones for Pei Qi. Otherwise, Pei Qi would not touch the fish at all. For example, if no one peeled the shell for Pei Qi, Pei Qi would just bite off the shrimp head and throw it aside, and eat the shrimp with the shell and meat.
"He said he was very afraid of the dark. Every day, he needed a kid named Pei Qi to sleep with him so that he could fall asleep. There were a few times when Pei Qi got angry with him and climbed onto the upper bunk. He couldn't fall asleep at night and could only sneak into Pei Qi's bed in the middle of the night. Only then would he dare to fall asleep."
Pei Qi's tears stopped all of a sudden. The crystal tears blocked his sight. He could only vaguely see that pair of beautiful eyes. The azure color was like the most dazzling sapphire. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but he retracted his hand halfway.
Pei Maomao asked quietly: "Did he tell you?"
"Um."
"This dinner is his treat. Since he can't come, he asked me to make sure you're well entertained. He picked out the restaurant all night."
"He said if your tastes haven't changed, you'll probably like this restaurant."
