Chapter 699 Heartbeat (Memories)
The old man told him to communicate with her more, enlighten her, and guide her more in study.
He, who had always been a man of few words, started talking a lot to her. It seemed as if the roles had been reversed all of a sudden: she used to be the talkative one, but now he was the one.
On weekends, she would go to Lu's house, and he would tutor her. Over time, her mental state changed, and their relationship became closer.
It seemed that because of tutoring her with her studies, his patience increased.
During the summer vacation, the senior high school students needed to make up for their studies, so he had no vacation time. For a period of time, she went to school frequently, and everyone thought she was his sister. Because she was pretty, her classmates around her talked about how he had a beautiful sister.
He felt inexplicably disgusted and didn't like anyone talking about her in front of him.
"If I hear anyone talking about this again, they will be expelled from school!" He said unhappily in front of the whole class.
Everyone knew his identity, so from that day on, no one dared to talk about it in front of him.
His studies were delayed and he had not been home for a long time. There was a new person at home, his second uncle's adopted daughter, named Lu Jingxue, who was only two or three years younger than him.
"Big Brother." It was the first time Lu Jingxue entered the Lu family. After the old man introduced her, she called him.
Because of the unfamiliarity and the fact that he only recognized one sister, he did not agree and just took a quick look at the person who called him.
On weekdays, whenever he had a day off, she would come to the Lu family.
"I saw a girl going out just now, who is she?"
"My second uncle's adopted daughter."
"I heard from Lu Jingchuan that you had a girlfriend, and I thought it was her."
"Lu Jingchuan is talking nonsense."
"Will you have a girlfriend in the future?"
"You're so young, do you know what a girlfriend is?"
"Of course I know, boys talk about girlfriends and girls talk about boyfriends. I have a boyfriend, but you don't have one!" She had an innocent look in her eyes and boasted in her words.
The hand that was writing paused, and his brows were furrowed. "How old are you and you already have a boyfriend?" He spoke, but at that moment he did not realize that his voice was too loud.
"Why are you being so mean to me?"
She looked so aggrieved that he suddenly lost his temper.
"What I meant is that you are still too young to fall in love. Studying hard is the most important thing. I'm sorry, I didn't notice that my voice was so loud just now. I didn't mean to be mean to you."
"I will only forgive you if you go get me a piece of crushed ice."
"Just tell me what his name is, and I'll get it for you."
"Meng Baoyu."
"You can just let him be your boyfriend if he gives you anything."
"You gave me money and helped me beat up the classmates who bullied me. Where's the crushed ice you promised me?"
She just casually decided to be my boyfriend because of such a small thing. At that moment, he was very angry and inexplicably unhappy, as if something was stolen when he was not paying attention.
He took out some crushed ice and took out a stack of New Year's money that had been left unused for a long time from the drawer.
"How much did he give you?"
"ten bucks."
Ten dollars, which made me even angrier. He was actually bribed with just ten dollars!
"All this is for you. Study hard and don't get close to him. If it's not enough, I'll give you more and then give him the ten dollars back."
"It's not about the money. He helped me beat up the classmate who bullied me."
"Whoever dares to bully you, tell me next time and I'll beat him up. Don't bother others. Who is the person who bullied you?"
"I don't know his name."
That night, he suddenly suffered from insomnia. The little girl actually fell in love. He couldn't sleep thinking about it, and he felt inexplicably disgusted with that person.
The next day, before leaving for school, he was worried that after he got there, the little girl would start a casual relationship at school just because someone gave her money.
I specifically told the old man one thing.
“Depth of field, what else do you have to say?”
"Yesterday, Xiao Jiaran told me that there was a boy named Meng Baoyu at school who bullied her and tried to use money to stop her from saying anything."
"Meng Baoyu?"
"Well, there's another one whose name she can't remember."
"okay, I get it."
The old man cares about her very much. She can have whatever she wants in the Lu family. If she is threatened or bullied by others, the old man will definitely intervene.
He was still a student and had no ability to deal with things, but he knew that his grandfather could deal with this Meng guy. In order to deal with this annoying man, he lied for the first time.
At that time, he didn't understand why he had to intervene in this matter, nor did he know what he was thinking that he would lose sleep all night because of this matter.
I spent the whole night worrying about whether she would fall in love with someone else for some other random reason.
I accidentally heard Xu Fang mention that his sister went to the same school as her, so I wanted to know more about her situation at school.
Taking advantage of the half-day holiday, he went to her school and for the first time used his status as the young master of the Lu family to exercise his power and let Xu Hui transfer to another class.
“I met a new classmate today.”
"Is he a boy or a girl? What's his name?" At that time, he didn't fully understand why he always cared about whether he was a boy or a girl.
He only remembered that day, she was happy for the first time in a long time. She was in a good mood, and he was in a good mood too.
"A female classmate, her name is Xu Hui, and she has a brother."
Anda University is close to the Lu family, so during the winter and summer vacations, the old man would arrange for him to study at Anda University in his free time.
One day, Anda needed him to represent the school in a competition, so he did not return to school that day. When he returned, Shen Jiayi said that someone came to the school to look for her, and it was a girl.
Shen Jiayi mentioned her from time to time. He felt disgusted but did not show it too much.
"Grandpa Lu and I were just passing by that day, and we wanted to have dinner together. I didn't know you were not in school."
"I often participate in competitions and am not often in school. Don't go to school in the future. If you have any questions, just call me or come to my house to find me."
"Ok."
During college, many of his classmates started dating, and many girls of the same age pursued and confessed their love to him, but he was indifferent to all of them and even felt annoyed. However, her figure would always appear in his mind unconsciously. Her care, her smile, whether she was happy or not, were all in his mind.
During that time, he thought he might be sick because he often dreamed about her, accompanied by strange feelings.
Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would always forget about her in an instant as soon as she appeared. Gradually, he began to look forward to the days when he could meet and talk with her.
"I bought it especially for you. Do you want to try it?"
Although he couldn't eat spicy food, he didn't want to reject her kindness in a disappointing way.
After a long time, he suddenly realized that he was really sick. Whenever he met her, he felt even more uncomfortable as soon as she got close to him. His heart beat so fast that he needed a long time to calm down. However, he was very addicted to this feeling, as if this feeling had been deeply buried in him without his awareness.
