Chapter 44: Lin Qian Pavilion
Lu Qian looked at Cheng Yi gently. That charming face was so close to her that she could sense his extremely aggressive aura with every breath, which made Lu Qian uneasy.
She stumbled and said, "No, not married yet..."
"Can I kiss you then?"
Lu Qian lowered his head in panic, "Neither, nor..."
Lu Qian knew very well that when Cheng Yi kissed her, she didn't hate it, and she even felt some indescribable joy.
But she didn't dare to think about why a man like Cheng Yi needed her.
She couldn't stand being abandoned anymore.
So she didn't want to get too deeply involved. She just wanted to go back to live a normal life in two months. She felt lucky to pass by the man in front of her in her life.
But her consciousness sank much faster than she had imagined, so fast that she was at a loss as to what to do.
The tenderness and dominance of the man in front of her were not something she could resist.
In the silence, Cheng Yi saw the anxiety and sorrow surging in Lu Qian's eyes.
"Don't let your imagination run wild," he said, his narrow eyes widening under his eyelids. He opened his hands and rubbed Lu Qian's head. "I still have things to deal with. You should have a good rest in my room."
Lu Qian let out a soft "oh".
Although Cheng Yi's answer was bland, at least Lu Qian knew that he was not married.
The level of ethics and morality has been determined.
After Cheng Yi left, Lu Qian sat in the house bored.
Let her rest...
But she didn't feel tired or sleepy at all. It would be strange if she felt sleepy after sleeping for two days in a row.
“Dangdang.”
Just as he was bored, the bedroom door rang and Lu Qian quickly got out of bed to check.
When I opened the door, a gray-haired man dressed as a waiter stood outside.
He saluted Lu Qian and said, "Miss Lu, I'm here to deliver some books to you. I've also brought some of the headmaster's belongings here."
Lu Qian saw that he was dragging a large suitcase behind him and holding an exquisite small box in his hand.
Lu Qian took the box and thanked him quickly: "Oh, okay, thank you."
The waiter carried the large suitcase into the house and placed it there, then bowed slightly to Lu Qian.
"Please tell the headmaster that if he wants someone to clean up at any time, he can give instructions."
"Miss Lu, if you have nothing else to do, I will withdraw first."
"Thank you very much, take care."
After seeing the waiter leave, Lu Qian let out a long sigh. There were really too many rules in this mansion. She was exhausted just from bending down to say thank you every day.
She struggled to move the box further into the house.
“Wow, so many books!”
Qu Le was right. Luochuan really had a lot of books, and he wanted to include all the mystery books from ancient times to the present, from China and abroad.
Lu Qian picked out a few books he liked and placed them on the table, then locked the rest of the books up again, trying to hide them in the room as much as possible so as not to take up space.
Lu Qian stood by the table, stroking the exquisite gold-embossed spine of the book. He turned the pages much more gently, and his breathing became heavier.
This is not a book to be read, it is clearly a work of art collected in a museum.
It's in both Chinese and English, which is so advanced.
Lu Qian squatted down and began to immerse herself in reading. When she came to her senses, she had already finished the second half of the book in one breath.
Looking out the window, the sun was beginning to set.
The evening sunlight shone into the room, burning Lu Qian's face like a hot kiss.
The warm light filled the empty bedroom, and Lu Qian's heart was also satisfied.
The sharp leaves of the plane tree outside the window softened under the setting sun, and the thorny ball-shaped fruits swayed in the summer breeze. The birds were startled and flew away to an unknown distance.
Just like her, she didn't know where to go.
Lu Qian withdrew his gaze and put on a relieved smile.
Then he stood up, rubbed his sore waist and stiff neck, and walked around the room twice to drive away his fatigue.
At a glance, I saw the exquisite box that the waiter brought.
Is this Cheng Yi’s thing?
Lu Qian walked forward, took it in his hand and looked at it over and over again.
This little box isn't even fastened properly, so it can't be very important?
Curiosity drove Lu Qian to open it and find out.
Lu Qian hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out and opened the box.
In the groove of the box, there lies an exquisite copper key. The key head is a special hexagonal shape, and the handle is decorated with delicate Chinese relief.
This is not a key, it's like a cultural relic.
Lu Qian turned the key over and saw a few words engraved on it in official script:
"Lin, Qian, Ge..."
Lu Qian muttered the words on the key.
What an elegant name. Is this the name of a room?
Is this the room that the waiter was referring to when he said "cleaning" just now?
Just when Lu Qian was puzzled, she saw a piece of paper lying at the bottom of the box. When she opened it, she found something similar to a map.
"This is……"
The map was not difficult to recognize, and the floor where Cheng Yi lived was marked on it.
Cheng Yi told her that there were crocodiles behind the iron gate on the west side of this floor and she was not allowed to get close to it, but she could go anywhere else.
So since they had to clean, why not let her go? Cheng Yi even told her to work hard.
With an adventurous mood, Lu Qian walked out of the room with the key and map.
She walked out of the room and turned left, and easily found the so-called "Linqian Pavilion" in a small corner at the end.
Lu Qian raised his hand and touched the low-key wooden door panel.
If you didn't come here specifically to look for this inconspicuous door, you wouldn't even pay attention to it in this huge Tavia Mansion.
She took out the key and opened the door.
When he pushed the door open, the light in the room was dim and Lu Qian could not see clearly.
The temperature inside the house was much higher than outside, and a damp smell hit me in the face. The moist air was mixed with the scent of soil and sawdust.
Lu Qian walked into the house cautiously, and his eyes gradually got used to the dim environment.
The room was large and spacious, with the ground covered with irregular huge stones and dead wood and leaves, which made a creaking sound when stepped on.
There is a large pond in the middle of the house, and the surrounding ground is made of black mud mixed with sand and gravel. The smell of earth probably comes from here.
Lu Qian couldn't help but mutter, what on earth is this place?
Going further in, there is a stone arch without a door panel, emitting wisps of heat. This is probably the source of heat in the house.
Lu Qian walked forward and was about to continue exploring when he heard a slight sound coming from behind his head.
