Chapter 604: Blood Clan Loyal Butler vs. Godly Lady 33
Lu Zewen came to the window. The office was bright and clean. Looking down, he saw the school basketball court.
The basketball court was bustling at around six or seven o'clock. A spirited teenager made a beautiful three-pointer, winning enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
After the first half of the game was over, the boy lifted up his jersey to wipe the sweat off his face. As soon as he got off the court, his girlfriend handed him a bottle of water.
The boy took the bottle of water, but the first thing he did was not to drink the water, but to hug his girlfriend and give her a big kiss.
The onlookers pretended to make a fuss, and the girl, embarrassed and shy, pushed him away with a slightly red face.
"I was born with a lack of emotions, so people often call me abnormal."
Just like now.
"I can't understand the joy he felt when he scored a goal, nor can I understand the shyness between young couples, nor can I understand the enthusiasm of the hecklers."
He is an outsider to the world and can never participate in it.
Quan Jiu stood shoulder to shoulder with him, looking at the lively scene on the playground:
"But you don't look like someone who is completely indifferent."
She had specifically observed that when Lu Zewen faced humorous questions from his classmates, he would laugh; when talking with his colleagues, he was also polite and considerate.
If she hadn't known the script in advance, she probably wouldn't have been able to guess his illness.
Lu Zewen crossed his arms over his chest and stroked his chin with his right index finger:
"How can I describe this feeling..."
"I can infer the correct emotions I should express based on the situation, but in reality, I don't feel anything at all about this matter."
When accepting a gift, he knew he should say thank you, but he couldn't feel touched or happy.
When the acquisition of a company caused the management of the rival company to lose their families, he also did not feel any guilt.
"For ordinary people like you, emotions that come naturally are a profound subject for me."
Since he was a child, he has been studying and pondering the so-called "emotions that people should have", and even once regarded it as a course of study.
Quan Jiu didn't hear any self-pity in his words. His tone was calm, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"So, you're like an artificial intelligence trying to learn to mimic human emotions."
Lu Zewen nodded: "That's pretty much what I mean, but there's a little difference. Sometimes, I can also experience normal emotions..."
Quan Jiu was curious: "When?"
"When I suck your blood."
Quan Jiu: “…”
She stared at him speechlessly.
Lu Zewen seemed to be savoring the taste of her blood:
"Maybe it's the instinct of the vampires. When I suck, I feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction."
Quan Jiu covered his neck tightly and glared at him:
"Let's be fair. Even though you're miserable, I won't let you suck it."
Lu Zewen had already guessed her reaction, and the man pressed on:
"Then why is it okay if it's just a short distance away?"
Quan Jiu: "You are different."
"How is it different? You also said that you don't like him." Lu Zewen tried to reason with her.
She doesn't like Lu Zhiyao, nor does she like him. From this perspective, aren't he and Lu Zhiyao the same?
Quan Jiu spread his hands: "Let's not talk about Lu Zhiyao and me for now. You are born without emotions and can't feel the joys and sorrows of love like normal people. I don't need a lover who can only pretend to be emotional and perfunctory."
Lu Zewen tapped his fingertips on the windowsill for a long time, then he spoke.
"Maybe, I can learn."
He can try to learn how normal people fall in love.
Quan Jiu: "Lu Zewen, there are some things that cannot be learned."
This time, he didn't argue.
"We're even today. From now on, as long as you don't cause me trouble, I won't attack you."
Quan Jiu threw down a few words and disappeared from the spot.
………
villa.
After Quan Jiu returned home, she was still thinking about how to gain Lu Zewen's favor. It was not easy for a person who was born with a lack of emotions to gain his favor, and it was undoubtedly even more difficult to dispel Lu Zewen's desire for her blood.
After thinking for a while, she couldn't come up with the answer. Feeling irritable, she took a swimsuit from the closet, put it on, and jumped directly from the second-floor balcony into the swimming pool on the first floor.
Leng Feng heard a splash of water and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window curiously. He saw a vague figure in the water at a glance.
The woman was obviously an expert swimmer. She held her breath and swam two full laps.
Because of the refraction of the water surface, he couldn't see clearly, but he could roughly catch a glimpse of Quan Jiu's graceful and flexible body.
Seeing him staring out the window, Zhou Qi walked over curiously: "Is the young lady back? I think I heard the door open."
As he finished speaking, he also saw Quan Jiu in the swimming pool.
The boy frowned.
They both applied for the position of butler, but except for the first day, Miss Xier clearly preferred Butler Lu. Even when she went out with people, she chose Butler Lu first.
They lived under the same roof, but he hadn't seen Quan Jiu for two whole days.
Leng Feng raised his eyes and looked at him: "You noticed it too?"
Zhou Qi shrugged. "It's so obvious, it's hard for me not to notice. I guess we two won't be able to stay here for much longer..."
This job is the easiest one he has ever had since he started looking for a job.
There are newly hired servants in the villa, so he doesn't have to do many things himself. He just needs to give orders and someone will complete it on time.
The lady didn't ask him to do much, and he just stood by and did nothing every day. He could still get a salary two or three times higher than outside. It was such a great opportunity that no one would want to leave.
Leng Feng's eyes flashed: "Are you willing to quit like this?"
Zhou Qi stared helplessly at the wine in the swimming pool:
"There's no point in being unwilling. Miss Xier only needs a housekeeper."
He heard the deep meaning in Leng Feng's tone, and considering that they were both wanderers in the world, he did not forget to warn him:
"Leng Feng, don't even think about it. Just take your salary and leave. We can't mess with a rich kid like him."
Leng Feng's eyes flashed: "...Yeah."
………
Quan Jiu swam for half an hour, and as soon as he emerged, he saw Lu Zhiyao standing under a parasol.
The man was wearing a black suit and had an indifferent look on his face. There was a glass of freshly squeezed lemon juice on the table next to him.
"Is Steward Lu done with his work?"
He specially asked her for half a day off today, saying that he had something urgent to deal with. Quan Jiu knew without thinking that he must be busy with the auction house.
Lu Zhiyao said respectfully, "I'm done."
"Come and swim with me when you're done."
Lu Zhiyao looked at the bottomless swimming pool, pursed his lips, and seemed a little embarrassed...
Quan Jiu's long golden hair was wet and stuck to her back. She swam to the shore, leaned over the pool with her long arms, and raised her eyebrows with interest:
"Don't tell me, you can't?"
Lu Zhiyao: “…”
Indeed not.
