Chapter 539 Roses
Qi Xu seemed to have heard something like a fairy tale.
"Mr. Lu, what did you say?"
"I say, just wait there obediently. I'll send someone to pick you up. They'll be there in half an hour. Don't run around. Do you hear me?"
Without waiting for Qi Xu to refuse, Lu Shixu hung up the phone and called the Lu family's private pilot.
"Xiao Yang, help me pick someone up from South City. Now, immediately, leave immediately, without wasting a second."
He was afraid that Qi Xu would be bored, so he sent her another message.
"Are you hungry? Do you want me to order something for you?"
"I'm not hungry, thank you, Mr. Lu."
Qi Xu's answers were always polite and courteous, just like a pool of clear water. No matter how noisy the people on the shore were, it always remained clear and calm without a ripple.
"Doctor Qi, how are you these days?"
"Thank you for your concern Mr. Lu, I'm fine." Qi Xu still answered indifferently.
In fact, she is very busy and helpless these days.
She secretly went to the hospital to visit her mother once. Her mother was so thin that she looked like a ghost and almost dead.
She looked at her mother's frail appearance and cried for a long time, hating herself for being incompetent and unable to save her mother.
Afterwards, she secretly contacted a private detective and asked him to investigate her adoptive father's family and her mother's home furnishing company, hoping to collect some evidence in preparation for future lawsuits.
However, time was too tight and I had to come to Hucheng to work before there was any progress or results.
My mother has been paralyzed for many years, and she is still young and inexperienced. She cannot reveal her whereabouts, nor can she challenge Qi Wangxing head-on. She can only endure humiliation and take it step by step.
Qi Xu was so indifferent that Lu Shixu didn't know what to talk about.
The main reason is that he has never been with girls and has never had any friends of the opposite sex, so he doesn't know how to communicate with girls.
Didn’t the ancients often say that women talk too much, like sparrows, chirping all the time and always like to talk endlessly?
Why does Dr. Qi say so little?
Even if words are precious, she shouldn't be so stingy, right? Couldn't she have asked more questions like, "How are you doing recently? Does your wound still hurt? I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time?"
After waiting for half an hour, Lu Shixu finally received a message from her.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Yang picked me up. Thank you."
It was a short sentence, still so polite, courteous, simple, boring and distant.
Lu Shixu was too lazy to reply.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but reply.
"Yeah. I understand."
It's the same as not replying to his words. He is even less emotional than Qi Xu.
Qi Xu is a person who is slow in love and is naturally not interested in men.
Coincidentally, Lu Shixu is a straight man who has never been able to interact with girls since he was a child.
As a result, every text message conversation between the two was like an elementary school student reciting the Three Character Classic: boring, perfunctory, and without substance.
While waiting for Qi Xu, Lu Shixu dressed himself up carefully from head to toe.
He also ordered Aliang to buy a bunch of snacks and dozens of desserts, which filled the dining table and tea table.
Poor Aliang, tired like a dog, collapsed on the sofa.
"Doctor Qi, I beg you, please come quickly, I can't hold on any longer."
Lu Shixu grabbed him.
"Get up! Don't lie here! Make the sofa straight! You've made wrinkles all over it."
"Captain, you're going too far. I'm exhausted after a long day, and you won't even let me sit on the sofa. I'm going to report you to Commander Xu for mistreating a soldier."
Lu Shixu personally wiped the place where Aliang had sat again to remind him.
"If you complain about being tired after doing such a small job, you'd better go back home as soon as possible. Don't be my soldier anymore."
A Liang was in tears.
Is this a small job? It's obviously a truckload of work, okay?
He bought so many things in the whole house that his hands were almost broken.
The windowsill, the floor, the crack in the door, and even the toilet bowl—he knelt, lay down, and crawled to clean them bit by bit, more professionally than a professional cleaner.
The boss is still not satisfied and complains that he made the sofa wrinkle because of sitting on it. Is there any justice in this world?
Finally, there was a pleasant doorbell ringing outside.
Lu Shixu rushed over in a flash, and because the floor was wiped too clean and a little slippery, he almost bumped into the doorway.
Fortunately, Aliang was quick-witted and acted as a human cushion for him.
Otherwise, if Lu Shixu's shoulder bone is injured again, it will be permanently irreparable. The commander will chop Aliang to pieces.
"Captain, you've almost ruined my life."
Lu Shixu's wound was so painful that his brows were twisted into a knot.
"Look at you, why would you clean the floor so clean for no reason? You're really bad at everything and you're the biggest drag on the class."
Aliang stared at his leader in amazement. It was so unfair.
Didn't you tell me to clean it so clean? And you said it had to be spotless, and if there was even a speck of dust, you'd make me run up 100 flights of stairs?
Lu Shixu straightened his clothes, smoothed his hair, cleared his throat, and then solemnly opened the door.
"Doctor Qi, you're here."
"Second Young Master, it's me!"
Lu Shixu looked around and saw that there was no young doctor there. There was only the driver and pilot Yang Yong in front of him.
"What about her?"
"She went to buy you a gift. She said it wouldn't be appropriate to come empty-handed on your first visit."
Lu Shixu angrily yelled at Yang Yong.
"Why don't you go with her? This place is unfamiliar to everyone. What if she gets lost? What if she falls? What if she encounters a scammer?"
Lu Shixu's way of thinking completely treated Qi Xu as a three-year-old kid.
Yang Yong said, "Second Young Master, as soon as we got to the gate of the community, she asked us to stop the car and then she ran away, telling me to get in first and she would be back soon after she finished shopping."
"It's a one-way street, and you can't park there. There's a car behind you, pushing you. I can't catch up at all."
Lu Shixu was so anxious that he insisted on going down to look for her, but Aliang and Yang Yong stopped him firmly.
"Captain, you are injured, you must not run around."
"Second Young Master, this is all my fault. I'm going to find Doctor Qi right now."
"Yes, yes, yes, we'll both go look for him. You stay home. It would be terrible if Dr. Qi comes back first and no one is home."
As soon as Aliang and Yang Yong went downstairs, Qi Xu came up with a big bouquet of roses.
"Mr. Lu, I haven't seen you for half a month. Are you okay?"
Lu Shixu looked at the pretty and bright little doctor in front of him and the bouquet of bright red roses in her hand, and his heart was boiling.
"This flower? Is it for me?"
He had never given flowers to a girl in his life, but he didn't expect to receive flowers from a girl, and they were roses.
"right!"
"This is my first time at your house. I'm in a rush and don't know what to buy."
The smile on Qi Xu's face is more beautiful than a rose.
