Chapter 1 Love at First Sight 1
Lu Xiao was the first friend she made when she first entered college, and also the one she played with best. Although they had only known each other for a few months, they were as close as sisters who grew up wearing the same pants. The idiom "It's a pity to meet too late" seemed to be tailor-made for them. Han Shao was Lu Xiao's cousin, the high-quality man who confessed to her within a week of meeting her.
When I first met Han Shao at the weekend, I couldn't help but be amazed by him.
It was a dinner party, Lu Xiao said he would take her to eat, she agreed because she was bored, and when they got there, they saw a handsome man waiting for them. The man was well dressed, sitting leisurely by the window, from her perspective, his profile was angular, and he had a noble and cold temperament, he was almost like a sign saying "No Trespassing".
"Brother, I'm here. Let me introduce myself. This is my classmate. It's the weekend."
She felt a little embarrassed for eating for free on the weekend, and when she saw the other person slowly turning his head, their eyes happened to meet, and she subconsciously spoke first: "Brother, hello..."
As soon as she said this, Weekend felt abrupt and thought, if she followed Lu Xiao in calling him brother, wouldn’t the other person think she was too familiar? Before she could think about whether to change the way she addressed him, the person on the other side said, “Hello, Weekend.”
The voice was low, the words were clearly pronounced, and there was a hint of smile in the tone.
Weekend was stunned for a moment, feeling that this voice was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. Later, when Han Shao was out answering a phone call, Lu Xiao laughed at her and said, "A handsome guy with a nice voice, where have you heard it before?"
Weekend rolled her eyes and was about to fight back, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Han Shao hanging up the phone and walking back, so he gave up and sat up straight.
As soon as Han Shao came back and sat down, the waiter came over with the plates and placed them on the table. The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, your dishes have been served. Please enjoy your meal."
Lu Xiao is usually carefree, and now he was so amazed that he shouted, "Wow! So many dishes, did you make any money today? Hey, these are all my favorite dishes from the weekend."
Weekend was also puzzled. They came after Han Shao ordered the dishes. She didn't hear Lu Xiao and Han Shao talking on the phone before that. If it was a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence, right? Or... did Lu Xiao's cousin have the same taste as hers?
Han Shao's mouth corners were slightly curved, his right hand supporting his chin idly, and he said, "As long as you like it."
Weekend looked up subconsciously, but unexpectedly met his eyes again. She originally thought that he said the four words "as long as you like it" to Lu Xiao, but she didn't expect that the other party's eyes were directly on her. She couldn't help but laugh dryly.
Afterwards, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even weirder. Weekend looked at the mountain of food in front of him and heard Lu Xiao muttering in dissatisfaction: "Hey, hey, hey, cousin, who is your biological cousin?"
Han Shao glanced at her and replied lightly: "I treat you as my cousin." After that, he calmly put another piece of meat into Weekend's bowl.
Lu Xiao: “…”
weekend:"……"
In the evening, Lu Xiao wiped his hair and said to Weekend: "My cousin used to be a painter. Usually, he doesn't like to talk much, but I didn't expect that you two would get along so well the first time you met."
I thought to myself on the weekend, what kind of rapport is this?
"Not only did you like all the dishes you ordered, but you also kept picking food for you. As your cousin, I couldn't bear to watch it."
Weekend was afraid that she would go off topic, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, "Has he ever held an art exhibition?"
Please forgive her superficial belief that the criterion for judging whether a painter is famous is to hold an art exhibition.
Lu Xiao was still thinking about the dinner scene. When Weekend asked him this, he didn't react for a moment. He said "Ah", then thought for a moment and said, "I remember there was one, but it was held by the elders in the family for his birthday. It was many years ago."
"Well... but a few years ago, he had a car accident and something happened to his hand."
Weekend looked at Lu Xiao in surprise. For an excellent painter, the importance of hands is self-evident.
Seeing the look on her face, Lu Xiao quickly explained: "But it's okay now. I just don't paint much anymore. I occasionally help my dad with company affairs."
At this moment, the screen of the mobile phone placed next to the computer suddenly lit up. Weekend picked it up and saw that it was a message.
Don't be surprised if I ask Lu Xiao for your number. Good night, weekend.
The signature is: Han Shao.
Weekend was stunned for a moment, a little angry that Lu Xiao betrayed her number, and was about to find someone to settle the score, but where was Lu Xiao in the dormitory? He had already run away. In desperation, she had to save this string of mobile phone numbers strangely and remember the contact name as: Lu Xiao's cousin.
The next morning, the phone on the pillow vibrated, which was particularly piercing in the quiet dormitory. Weekend squinted and opened the phone screen to see an unread message -
Can you come down for a moment? I'm downstairs from your dormitory.
Ah? Although she was confused, she got up reflexively on weekends. She didn't like others waiting for her. She rinsed her mouth and washed her face, then put on a long coat and went downstairs. As soon as she walked out of the dormitory door, the tall and straight figure entered her sight with absolute advantage.
It was a foggy late autumn morning, and Han Shao was carrying a large bag and walking towards her. She heard a chuckle from above her head, and then her hair was rubbed by a hand.
"Good morning, weekend."
Being woken up early on a weekend morning, her mind was in a fuzzy state, so she didn't pay much attention to Han Shao's intimate behavior. She tilted her head slightly and asked bluntly: "Um...you...what's the matter with you?"
"I bought some breakfast, seafood porridge, shrimp dumplings and steamed buns."
He handed it to her, and Weekend took it subconsciously, exclaimed "Ah", looked at the bag and asked, "Is it for Lu Xiao?" Maybe he didn't want to wake up his cousin's sweet dream, so he asked her roommate to come down and get it.
She thought so, but she saw Han Shao's eyes smiling, curved the corners of his lips meaningfully, and said softly: "It's cold outside, let's go back first."
"Oh." Weekend went back in a daze.
After climbing the stairs to the fourth floor, she reached into her pocket to take out her key, but found that she didn't bring it with her. She sighed tiredly and had to knock on the door to wake up her roommates. She heard the sound of knocking inside and a gust of cold wind poured in from the window at the end of the corridor, which made her shiver. Only then did she wake up completely.
What happened just now? Who was she meeting? What was she holding now?
Lu Xiao opened the door and saw Weekend standing outside motionless. He looked at what she was holding and smiled happily: "I was wondering what you were doing so early in the morning. It turns out you went out to buy us breakfast. Come in quickly. What are you doing standing outside?"
On the weekend, I took out three boxes of seafood porridge, as well as xiaolongbao and shrimp dumplings in various flavors, filling the entire table.
Lu Xiao looked at her seriously and pressed her, "Tell me! Did you pick up money when you went out this morning? How much did you pick up? It must have been a lot! You actually dared to buy such a luxurious breakfast, and bought so much!" After saying that, she immediately started to eat with relish.
Weekend looked thoughtful, sat upright, and said, "I didn't buy it."
"Ah? Who is that?"
"These were all bought by your cousin."
Lu Xiao’s mouth opened for at least a minute, and he asked in disbelief: “My cousin?”
"Yes." Weekend nodded.
In the next few minutes, Lu Xiao's mantra was: Impossible.
"He probably didn't want to wake you up, so he asked me to go down and get it."
"This is even more impossible!"
Lu Xiao quickly swallowed the shrimp dumpling in his mouth and complained excitedly: "Thinking back to the time when I was taking the college entrance examination, I stayed at his house and was woken up by him every day. He even refused to let me go on weekends and asked me to go out to buy groceries early in the morning! Now you tell me that he asked you to go downstairs to get them because he didn't want to wake me up? This is impossible!"
I couldn't help laughing at the weekend.
"Come to think of it, the more I think about it, the more something seems wrong. He kept picking up food for you yesterday, and even came all the way to bring you breakfast this morning..."
Weekend was afraid that she might think too much, so he interrupted her immediately: "Maybe he just happened to be passing by?"
Lu Xiao snorted, looked at her and said, "If you go to the airport, will you just pass by the city center?"
"Although his home is not far from our school, it is definitely not close either. Although he has a car, this is the city center with a lot of cars coming and going. The traffic jam alone is enough for him to deal with, so there is no way he just happened to pass by!" Lu Xiao added, "Also, one of the reasons why I applied to University A was to live far away from his home. This way, my parents wouldn't leave me with him, and I could sleep until I wake up naturally every day. It's perfect!"
Lu Xiao's words kept lingering in Weekend's mind. After finishing breakfast, she hesitated for a while, but decided to send a text message to Han Shao: Thank you for breakfast, I won't bother you again in the future.
After reading it carefully, do you think this sentence seems a bit overbearing? Delete it and start over!
Thank you for the breakfast.
Finally, I added a smiling emoticon and sent it.
The other party replied almost immediately: No trouble, is it delicious?
She replied: Delicious.
He replied: That’s good.
Weekend didn't expect that because of her reply, Han Shao sent her breakfast for several days in a row, and the amount only increased every day. Therefore, every time Lu Xiao looked at her, there was a bit of "bad intention" in his eyes.
