In the jeep, Pei Zheng was sitting in the co-pilot seat and bargaining with Xiao Zhou. One of them said that he had promised to treat him to dinner at the state-owned hotel in the morning, and the other said that he had promised but didn't say when...
The people in the front row were chatting animatedly, while the people in the back row were unusually quiet.
Lu Nong didn't expect Pei Jinan to come in the evening. She and Pei Jinan sat in the back seat in silence. It was not that Lu Nong deliberately didn't talk to Pei Jinan, but she was in a very regretful mood.
She secretly glanced at the person next to her, then looked away. After a while, she looked again, and again...
As the sun sets in the evening, the afterglow sneaks into the car window and onto the man's face. Under the atmosphere created by light and shadow, the sharp edges of his face seem to be outlined by a brush, appearing and disappearing from time to time. The light cannot reach his slightly closed eyes, making him look cold and heartless.
However, the tiny and dazzling spots of light covered the man with a layer of light from time to time as the car swayed, neutralizing his cold aura and adding a touch of tenderness to him. It was this contrast that pierced Lu Nong's heart.
This is just like the sickly temperament Pei Jian revealed after being injured, but that day was the battle-damaged beauty buff, and today Lu Nong couldn't find any other reasons for herself, she was really attracted to Pei Jian.
When you first meet Pei Ji'an, you will be stunned by his aura, but when you really start to look at him as a man, you will be more and more attracted to him and fascinated by him.
Lu Nong found that ever since Pei Jianan was injured, she began to notice Pei Jianan's war-worn temperament, and she could get him all the time, noticed his appearance and was then captivated by him. Not only that, but also his calm speech yesterday about the lady's diplomacy. Lu Nong admitted that she was really killed.
What a pity, what a pity, such a top-notch man can only be looked at but not eaten, what's more unfortunate is that such a top-notch man can't even do it and has to drink tonic soup for a while. Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that God is very fair.
But thinking about the size of the gang when Pei Ji'an was walking, Lu Nongjun shuddered and immediately became calm. Fortunately, he could only do it for a while, so God did a great job.
Lu Nong thought that Pei Ji'an was closing his eyes to rest, so the sneak peek at the beginning turned into an honest appreciation. Later, as his thoughts deepened, his eyes couldn't help but glance towards the lower third area.
Although Pei Jinan closed his eyes, he was not asleep. As a soldier, his hearing, vision and visual sensitivity were all top-notch. As a result, no matter what Lu Nong and Sister Qin discussed yesterday, or Lu Nong's all-round visual inspection of him today, he could hear and feel it clearly.
Just like now, he could feel Lu Nong's gaze once again focused on his lower body. Did he hear someone say something that cast doubt on his ability this time?
Pei Jinan suddenly opened his eyes and happened to catch Lu Nong's dishonest gaze.
Lu Nong: “…” No martial ethics.
This was the second time he was caught, and this time it happened in the car. Pei Ji'an didn't get angry last time, so it was even more impossible for him to get angry this time. Lu Nong just froze, and the embarrassment lasted only a few seconds. Then he calmly looked away - if he ignored her body that kept shrinking towards the car window.
Fortunately, Comrade Xiao Zhou rescued Lu Nong at this time. He exclaimed: "Commander, it seems that someone is following us, but the person who is following us is a little stupid..."
After hearing this, Lu Nong immediately turned around and lay on the seat to look back. He saw a man on a bicycle chasing the car wildly. His hair was blown by the wind and flew around in the air. From the figure and clothes of the chaser, he could roughly tell that the man was Qian Yu.
Originally, Lu Nong was only cooperating with Xiao Zhou to divert attention, but when she looked at him, she realized that the person was actually an acquaintance who was coming for her.
Lu Nong: “…” This girl is really working too hard.
Lu Nong was shocked. Although Xiao Zhou's speed was not fast because they had just left school, a car with four wheels was countless times faster than a bicycle powered by two legs. To be honest, Qian Yu was able to catch up with the jeep because he must have used all his strength and determination to achieve his goal.
She wondered whether to ask Xiao Zhou to stop the car.
If he didn't stop the car, it would be dangerous for Qian Yu to keep chasing him. A slight mistake would lead to a traffic accident. But if he had to stop the car, Lu Nong himself felt uncomfortable.
Although Qian Yu is the godmother's daughter, she is not as simple and optimistic as the old lady. She is ambitious and always envious of what others have but she doesn't.
Having high aspirations is not a bad thing in itself. After all, everyone who succeeds on his own initially relied on ambition and dissatisfaction with his own situation. It can be said that ambition is an inherent condition for a person's success.
But when a person only has ambition but lacks the ability to match it, it is a disaster. And if this person has evil intentions and cannot get anything herself, and instead of working hard, she wants to bring down those who have such ambitions, it is even worse. Anyone around her who is better off than her will suffer.
Qian Yu is such a person.
Lu Nong always compared herself to a poisonous snake and would never approach this person without any reason. But ever since she ran into Qian Yu and Lu Qing getting together at school last time, she had a bad feeling.
The thought made her speechless. Qian Yu had come to chase the car. If she pretended not to see it, Qian Yu would definitely bring Lu Qing along next time, and maybe even Lu's entire family.
There is no doubt that Qian Yu will do everything to the utmost.
Hiding all the time is not a good idea. Lu Nong wanted to see what Qian Yu wanted from her. She took a breath and said, "Xiao Zhou, stop the car."
Qian Yu, who was chasing the car, had reached her limit. She couldn't believe that she had chased it to this extent. The people in the car in front couldn't see it, but they should have seen it long ago. Even after seeing it, they didn't stop. There was only one possibility, that is, Lu Nong didn't let them stop.
Qian Yu thought angrily, let Pei Zheng and his son get to know Lu Nong's true face. Thinking of this, Qian Yu decided to add fuel to the fire.
She looked at the small ditch beside the road, gritted her teeth, tilted her body, fell out of the car and rolled into the river, "Help... Um, I can't swim..."
After hearing what Lu Nong said, Xiao Zhou was about to stop the car. He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the idiot who was riding a bicycle behind the car suddenly disappeared from his sight, as if he had fallen down.
"!"
As human life was at stake, Xiao Zhou quickly stepped on the brakes and got out of the car to check the situation. However, after getting out of the car, there was no one on the narrow road. Xiao Zhou touched his head and said, "This is strange. Where is the person?"
"Is it possible that I saw a ghost?" Xiao Zhou shuddered. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Seeing Pei Ji'an, Pei Zheng, and Lu Nong getting out of the car one after another, he bravely said, "Commander, the person is missing. Did we encounter something unclean?"
Lu Nong also found it strange. She clearly saw Qian Yu chasing the car from behind, so how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?
"Did you see it wrong?" Pei Zheng said impatiently. He didn't see anyone chasing the car. He was a little hungry and tired after playing basketball for an entire afternoon. He just wanted to go home quickly to eat and sleep.
Pei Ji'an looked around and fixed his eyes on the ditch beside the road. Xiao Zhou and Pei Zheng followed his gaze and reacted the next second by quickly running towards the river.
“……”No way?
Lu Nong also ran towards the river.
Qian Yu, who fell into the river, was really choked at first. After all, he jumped into the river from a bicycle, and the impact was not small. Water poured into his mouth and nose from all directions, which really made Qian Yu suffer a lot.
But after she swam twice, she found that the water in the creek was up to her knees. Even if she waded deeper, it would only reach her thighs. She would not drown unless she stood up.
Qian Yu: “…”
What could she do? Since she had already pretended to fall into the river, it would be a waste of effort if she got up now. Qian Yu gritted her teeth and pounced for a while. She didn't believe that the people in the car would not stop after seeing her fall into the river.
So Qian Yu waited for a while... and waited for a while longer...
She waited and waited until she felt hopeless, until she realized that Lu Nong was truly cruel. Qian Yu slapped the water surface in hatred, stood up from the water, and climbed toward the shore.
Not only did he lose his wife, but he also lost his army. Qian Yu was soaked all over. His hair was already disheveled, and after being rinsed again, it looked strange and kept dripping water, like a water ghost that had been pulled out of the water.
She was going crazy as she crawled: "Ahhhh, you bastard, you bastard, you damn Lu Nong, don't let me catch you, I'll kill you, kill you!"
So Pei Zheng and Xiao Zhou ran down the river bank breathlessly, while Qian Yu climbed up the river cursing, and the two gangs met awkwardly.
Pei Zheng & Xiao Zhou: "..."
Qian Yu: “…”
Lu Nong followed behind: "..."
Qian Yu thought the jeep had gone far away and there was no one on the road, so she cursed so loudly that Lu Nong and the other three, including Pei Ji'an, heard her cursing Lu Nong a bitch.
Qian Yu looked at the people who came and went, his face twisted and it was very difficult for him to force a smile.
Lu Nong glanced at Qian Yu who was still in the river. The water was up to her calves, but she looked unharmed and full of energy.
Well, the distance from where Xiao Zhou parked the car to where Qian Yu fell into the water was about two or three hundred meters. During this period, they got out of the car and wasted some time, and it took another while to find someone. Even after Qian Yu disappeared in the rearview mirror (fell into the river) for such a long time, she still didn't climb out.
This was very embarrassing. If she had climbed onto the road earlier, she would have seen that they had parked the car; if she had stayed in the water a little later, she would have been able to wait for Pei Zheng and Xiao Zhou to go down and rescue them.
Unfortunately, she didn't calculate anything correctly and exposed her dark thoughts in vain. Lu Nong felt so sorry for her.
Xiao Zhou's originally nervous expression changed, becoming serious and sharp, "Girl, I now suspect that you are illegally following military vehicles for unknown purposes. I need you to go to the national security department with me."
小周穿着軍裝,板起臉來架勢十分唬人,錢雨瞬間臉色煞白,去國安部門……她這是被當成間諜懷疑了。
錢雨不是間諜,可是這幾年她為了錢什麽都敢幹,那些人裏連她自己都說不清有沒有間諜。
而且她幹了很多不能放到明面上說的事根本不經查,去了國安部門那些髒事醜事不但會被扒的一清二楚,甚至還可能記在檔案上,沒準查到最後,真會把她打成壞分子。
絕不能去國安處,錢雨白着臉搖頭,“我不去,我沒跟蹤你們,我就是順路,對,順路,我要回家了。”
說着小心翼翼注視着幾人的動作,扶起地上的自行車,匆匆往岸上跑。
她也不是個傻的,這幾個當兵的剛才明擺着來救她的,但是聽到罵陸濃的話後立馬變了神色,她撇清幹系或許還能逃過一劫,要是仍舊扒着陸濃說認識她,那才是真的不知死活。
裴铮看向陸濃,小周看向裴寂安,都在等他們發話,是否要攔下錢雨。
裴寂安眼睛微動,如果剛開始小周說把這人送到國安部門是吓唬人,可看到錢雨心虛的反應後,他真的動了查查這女人的心思。
他給了小周一個眼神,小周得令,立馬從身後叫住錢雨:“前面的女同志先等一等……”
錢雨聽了那更不能等了,連自行車都不要了,丢下車就跑,她這一跑小周自然就要追,一個跑一個追,畫面異常滑稽。
陸濃:“……”事情到底是怎麽發展到了這個地步?
她難得茫然起來,這都是什麽抓馬場景啊?
印象裏錢雨很難纏的一個人,怎麽到了裴家人面前成紙糊的老虎,一戳就破,難道這就是嫁給軍哥哥的安全感?
陸濃肅然起敬。
錢雨一個普通人自然跑不過天天訓練的小周,才幾個瞬息就被小周擒住,“老實點,跑得了嗎你?”
錢雨哀求道:“求求你放了我吧,我不是故意跟着你們的,我叫錢雨,是吳秀蘭的女兒,吳秀蘭你們認識吧?就是吳媽……”
“對了,我還認識陸濃,我跟着你們就是為了跟她,我也認識裴铮,我們是同一所高中的同學,”說着她看向陸濃,“陸濃你說句話,我們從小一起長大,你不能見死不救啊。”
陸濃:“……”如果她記憶沒出問題的話,這姑娘剛才罵她是賤人,還要搞她,在她心裏自己到底是有多聖母才能不計前嫌救她?
裴铮反應極快,他迅速質問道:“你說你是吳媽的女兒,為什麽不正大光明出現?為什麽要偷偷摸摸跟着陸濃?”
“因為不偷偷跟着她,她們根本就不理我!”這個她們裏包括吳媽。
錢雨一個大姑娘被小周鉗着手,絲毫沒一點憐香惜玉,差點崩潰,她心裏憤恨不已,眼見陸濃沒有替她說話的意思,自己的臉皮又當着陸濃的面掉了個幹淨,索性一不做二不休,自己不好陸濃也別想好過!
于是她仰頭對裴铮說:“陸濃這個女人嫌貧愛富,自從她攀上你們裴家的高枝,別說我這個從小一起長大的朋友了,就連親生父母都沒再去看望,還把她二叔女兒的工作搞黃了,不信你們可以去查。”
陸濃:“……”姐妹我還在呢,哈喽?
裴铮則是徹底不耐煩了,原來聽說是吳媽的女兒還想問問情況,可一聽她淨往陸濃身上潑髒水,就知道沒有問下去的必要了。
裴铮都不問了,裴寂安和小周更沒必要聽錢雨瞎扯,當初裴寂安去接陸濃的時候是小周前後幫着搬家,陸家的一堆吸血鬼,不論裴寂安還是小周都見過,陸濃不搭理那群人在他們看來無可厚非。
既然如此,錢雨的話就當不得真了,這個人滿嘴謊話,更有必要送去審查一番了。
如果錢雨知道自己說了一通最後是這個下場,不知道作何感想。
最終小周押着錢雨走了,裴寂安開車載着裴铮和陸濃回小紅樓。
路上,陸濃思索片刻還是決定開口囑咐一下錢雨的事:“有關錢雨,回去以後就不要告訴幹媽了,我怕提起她幹媽傷心。”
“錢雨很早以前就登報宣布斷絕和幹媽的母子關系,後來認幹媽前夫的姘頭當媽……”
說到這裏,陸濃粗略說了一下老太太前夫和前夫姘頭的事,“當初幹媽的前夫錢大有為了一個女人抛棄妻女,幹媽只當他死了帶着錢雨在李家做工過活,解放後錢大有姘頭的爹因為率先響應公私合營政策,成了個不大不小的官,李家這種資本家庭日子開始不好過。”
“錢雨為了有個好出身,要求幹媽在公開場合大罵李家對她的剝削行為,幹媽不同意還扇了錢雨一巴掌,錢雨沒達到目的,轉身就投靠了親爹和親爹的姘頭,過了幾年登報斷絕了和幹媽的母女關系。”
那個時候的錢雨僅僅是個十來歲出頭的小姑娘而已,既狠又絕,讓人聽了她做的事都心驚。
陸濃想起來就替幹媽不值,更過分的是,錢雨竟然把報紙郵到了李家,專門給李家人和幹媽看。
老太太可不是個不識字的人,她年少的時候曾陪着少爺小姐們讀書,不但識文斷字,琴棋書畫都能說出個一二三來,看看錢雨清秀的臉,就能知道老太太年輕時候的風采,可惜遇到了渣男毀一生。
這都過去多久了,李家遠走海外,幹媽一人獨守着李園,錢雨再沒有出現過。
在剛剛錢雨說自己是裴铮同學、“揭露”自己攀裴家高枝的時候,陸濃猜到了她再一次出現的原因。
無非是在學校裏觀察出裴铮家庭背景不同尋常,又從上次北大一行得知陸濃成了裴铮後媽,覺得憑着幹媽的關系有利可圖,進而想法設法攀上來罷了。
誰知道遇到了裴家幾個男人不按常理出牌,頭一次見面沒等起壞心思就翻了車。
陸濃搖搖頭,俗話說,平生莫幹虧心事,半夜不怕鬼敲門,夜路走多了總是會遇見鬼的。
聽陸濃說完老太太的事,裴铮也沉默了,這種事在這個年代一點也不新奇,可聽了終究令人唏噓感嘆。
這天晚上,裴铮争着搶着幫吳媽幹活,小嘴更是像抹了蜜一樣,直把老太太誇得合不攏嘴,臉上皺紋都多了幾條。
顧小淮抱着小白跟在哥哥身後轉來轉去,包子臉嘟嘟,小白撓了撓蹄子,伸出舌頭直喘,這只小胖狗,不用自己走路被抱着都會累。
吃完飯,裴铮連同顧小淮和小白一起抱起來,對吳媽說,“吳姥姥,今晚我帶小崽子和狗子睡,他倆起夜什麽您都不用擔心,一切有我,您早點休息吧。”
裴铮覺得自己做了件給吳媽減勞的大好事,并決定以後都這麽幹,既能rua崽崽,又能讓吳媽睡個好覺,嘿嘿,他早就想這麽幹了。
“哎……”吳媽躊躇了一下,她親死顧小淮了,一點不覺得帶崽崽睡覺麻煩,可今天裴铮表現實在乖巧懂事,駁了他的念頭吧又不忍心,于是吳媽一咬牙答應道,“那行吧。”
就這樣雞同鴨講,兩個人都認為在為對方好的情況下,達成意見,也算完美。
陸濃一吃完飯就去了書房,說卷就卷,先把裴铮的課程表拿出來仔細安排自學課程,勢必讓他沒有絲毫空閑時間去玩球玩弟弟玩狗子,過了今晚,裴铮恐怕連晚上吃完飯都要學習了。
足以見得陸濃安排的課程有多緊。
安排完裴铮的學習時間,陸濃又自己卷起來,頭發一紮,桌子堆滿書,卷到連在書房的裴寂安都側目而視。
陸濃全然不知道,為了學習,她連世俗的欲望都沒了,燈下美人裴寂安就在眼前,她卻全然沒心思看。
在學習面前,搞男人不值一提。
時間一點點過去,最後陸濃成功睡倒在書桌前,睡夢中還在念叨着知識。
裴寂安:“……”
裴寂安擡起手表看了看時間,午夜一點半,從吃完飯到現在,陸濃一刻不停學了七個小時,如果她從前就是這麽學習的,那怪不得能考上北大。
一桌子歷史資料和史學書籍,在這些史學資料最頂上有一張法學專業的課程表,裴寂安頓住,拿起來看。
就見上面原本空餘部分寫滿了手寫內容,每天不但白天時間全部被學習填滿,就連晚上都要學到十二點,開頭“自學”兩個字直白道明了手寫人的心思。
裴寂安:“……”一時間不知道該欣慰裴铮的精力有了地方散發,還是該可憐兒子會學到吐。
他推了推陸濃,想叫她起來回房睡覺,推了幾次都沒推醒,裴寂安揉揉眉心,俯下身抱起陸濃回了房間。
一回房間,陸濃瞬間清醒了,連忙問道:“幾點了幾點了?”
“……一點半。”
“我還能再學半個小時,可惡,我應該堅持到兩點的。”
“已經很晚了,睡吧。”裴寂安溫聲說。
Lu Nong thought about it and decided, okay, she picked up her pajamas and ran to the bathroom, where she spent ten minutes washing up. She returned to the bedroom, casually applied some cold cream, and quickly lay down on the bed and fell asleep in seconds.
Before falling asleep, I was still thinking that it turns out that you can’t have both studying and being a delicate pig girl. Forget it, studying is the most important thing.
In the middle of the night, Lu Nong dreamed that someone didn't let her study. She was so angry that she woke herself up.
After waking up, Lu Nong was even more terrified. She hoped very much that she was still dreaming, but unfortunately reality told her that she was really awake.
...It would be better not to wake up.
Because she found that she, Lu Nongnong, was wrapped in Pei Jinan's arms, with one leg arrogantly placed on Pei Jinan's waist, and the other leg inserted between Pei Jinan's legs, and her thigh even rubbed against places that shouldn't be rubbed.
What's even more terrifying is that she was still holding one of Pei Jin'an's hands, and Pei Jin'an's big hand was holding her Nini. In this posture, Lu Nong didn't know whether Pei Jin'an grabbed her and she held his hand, or she was holding his hand and moving towards her Nini actively.
Lu Nong: “…” Either way, it’s terrible.
Lu Nong's heart was pounding, and he trembled as he tried to take Pei Jinan's big hand off his body. However, as soon as he moved, the big hand completely grasped his consciousness.
"Hmm..." Lu Nong moaned.
