The cold water hit his face and Lu Sinian forced himself to calm down. The pursuit and breakout just now inexplicably made the signature pop into his mind again.
The lingering words suddenly weighed down his breath.
Meteors always fall in an instant.
He felt he couldn't bear it.
By the time Lu Sinian finally adjusted his expression to be calm and composed and returned to the private room, the food had already been served.
The girl is carefully observing the signature dish in front of her - "Fresh crab and bird's nest stuffed with phoenix wings".
For some reason I thought of the fried chicken wings of a world-famous fast food restaurant.
I don't want to use the reserved chopsticks at all.
She looked at Lu Sinian and blinked.
Lu Sinian was stunned, "Huh?"
"I want to eat it with my hands." The girl confessed frankly.
Lu Sinian sneered from his nose, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"It's over. I want to, too."
The sleeves of their shirts were half-rolled up.
Wash your hands.
Opening.
After eating two chicken wings, Su Xiaoli wiped his hands with a wet towel with satisfaction.
She picked up the red wine and drank it all. "It's great."
The restaurant owner knew that two distinguished guests from the Lu family had arrived, so he specially gave them some red wine from his collection to go with the meal.
Lu Sinian put down the chicken wings in his hand and picked up the wet towel, "Don't move."
Su Xiaoli didn't understand what was going on and didn't have time to dodge before Lu Sinian had already extended his towel towards her.
There were traces of oil and red wine at the corners of her mouth.
Fortunately, only a little bit.
Lu Sinian...actually, he wanted to help her put a strand of soft hair on her temples behind her ears.
Endure it again and again.
Don't be impatient.
Take a deep breath silently.
The face is clean.
Su Xiaoli accidentally caught a glimpse of Lu Sinian's arm.
"Huh? The scar on your arm hasn't disappeared yet? Mine is almost gone."
She showed her hand to Lu Sinian and said, "The ointment is very useful."
Lu Sinian smiled indifferently, "Scars are not easy to remove."
"Oh, then you have to keep applying it." Su Xiaoli instructed him seriously.
"Yeah." Lu Sinian responded without blinking.
"Actually, there is one more thing..." Su Xiaoli's face suddenly became serious.
"What?" Lu Sinian put down the towel and stared at the girl.
"Lin Er." Su Xiaoli propped up her chin with one hand. "Whether she is targeting us or not, it is still necessary to learn more about her situation."
Lu Sinian's heart trembled, "Tell me about it."
Su Xiaoli sorted out his thoughts and slowly began to talk about his analysis.
"I guess she can't get into the Lu residence yet, so her purpose of drugging him might be to deal with Lin Da inside, but she just borrowed grandpa's hand."
"However, in order to accomplish this, there must be connections between the inside and the outside. Kuang Jiaming brought her in, but there is still a lack of someone to pick her up when the matter is completed."
Su Xiaoli was still leisurely as she told the results of her analysis over the past few days.
Lu Sinian sat up straighter.
——Indeed. Her biological father, Lu Jiahao, was exactly the part that the girl hadn’t figured out.
"No matter what, Lin Er is a man who is good at stirring up trouble. We have to know more about him." Su Xiaoli didn't want to be disappointed by this man in the future.
She should pull out this thorn in advance.
If you want to go further, you must take the initiative and avoid risks.
"What do you want to do?" Lu Sinian hid a hint of anxiety under his calm appearance.
"Private detective? Or instigate a few people who are familiar with her to defect?" Su Xiaoli tilted her head, but she only had the general direction but no experience in this area.
Lu Sinian pondered.
It is indeed better to hope that everyone will be alert than to protect Su Xiaoli by yourself. It is better to protect as many people as possible.
It’s not a bad thing for Xiao Li to take the initiative. He feels more at ease because she has a sense of self-protection.
Although... I don't want her to know at all that Lu Jiahao was one of the masterminds and played an important role.
But compared to my own face, Xiaoli’s safety is indeed more important.
She must be able to get through the time when the fortune is coming true.
"Then let's go find Lord Zheng." Lu Sinian figured it out and suggested in a friendly manner.
"Uncle Zheng?" Su Xiaoli hesitated, "Doesn't that mean Grandpa will also know about my little actions?"
Things have gotten out of hand.
Lu Sinian laughed and asked jokingly, "If you find someone else, do you think Grandpa won't know?"
Su Xiaoli suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense."
"Bo Zheng is also more cautious in his work." Lu Sinian added.
In addition to trusting Zheng Bo's skills...
The key is that I will know the results of the investigation first, and Xiaoli doesn’t need to bear it alone.
"That's settled then." Su Xiaoli smiled brightly.
She picked up the red wine glass and said, "Cheers to my first time actively doing evil."
The eager little face flushed, smiling brightly, and her eyes clear and innocent.
There is absolutely no sign that he is going to do anything bad.
Lu Sinian clinked glasses with her naturally, touched his lips with the red wine and put it down.
But I feel a little relieved.
——The first time Su Xiaoli “did evil”, she was the only accomplice.
Even when the sun goes down and the air conditioner is on full blast, it's actually warm to "do bad things" with her.
The two chatted a lot over the good wine and delicious food.
Ever since coming out of the bookstore that day, Su Xiaoli's every move had unconsciously become more free and easy and natural.
She is pure and charming, relaxed and at ease, and her smile is particularly charming.
Spending day and night with Su Xiaoli like this, Lu Sinian was really afraid that his defense would break down in the next second.
The urge that cannot be suppressed.
"Come to think of it, from now on you will be the one who has the final say in Lu's company, just like grandpa did back then." Su Xiaoli's eyes were already somewhat drunken.
After being tired for several days, she was a little drunk.
Lu Sinian hardly drank, which was fine.
There was only a little more deep amber in his eyes, and he remained gentle and calm, "At least, I will follow your advice."
"There are still many things I don't understand myself." Su Xiaoli smiled.
"Oh?" Lu Sinian had a look of disbelief, but there was a smile in his eyes.
He had witnessed the girl's abilities with his own eyes; after all, they had been together every day for the past two months.
Her depth of thinking, intelligence, decisiveness, imagination and comprehension always made him admire and be fascinated by her.
There are still things Xiao Li doesn't know.
"There are a lot of them, such as how to take proactive precautions right now, and stocks, futures, and options." Su Xiaoli thought of the stocks that Grandpa Lu gave her.
Lu Sinian nodded. So that's it.
"Want to learn? I can teach you." He said gently.
Su Xiaoli refused disrespectfully and nodded repeatedly, "Then open two accounts first."
I found a new target all of a sudden, and I felt quite proud.
"Why do you need so much? Grandpa gave you a lot of stocks, so you can operate directly."
"It's better to start from the beginning." Su Xiaoli's lips curled slightly.
How can you know the world of martial arts if you don’t go into the grassroots?
Her eyes suddenly became a little dreamy, "We can hedge the two accounts."
Two accounts, one for himself and one for Ling Yicheng.
The two have had no contact since they parted in Qingzhou.
I don't know if what I said to him had any effect at all.
Regarding Lu Sinian's attitude towards dealing with the scar on his arm - in fact, it can be regarded as a kind of subconscious self-healing, because he saw his parents stabbing each other with a knife in his childhood, and a similar stabbing behavior also occurred between Xiao Lu and Xiao Li.
"The emotions and physical sensations of a traumatic event are not just a memory, but an imprint that can cause destructive reactions in real-life situations. To regain control, you need to revisit the trauma. When you encounter similar feelings and emotions from the past, you need to process the overwhelming feelings you have."
