Chapter 268: Drink More Hot Water
Lu Yiming always felt that he was not good at speaking.
Especially when facing the future mother-in-law or father-in-law.
So when he appeared at Shi Qingxue's door, he was extremely nervous and his heart was about to beat in his throat.
But thinking of Shi Qingxue, Lu Yiming felt full of courage in his heart again.
No matter how you look at it, I am now successful and famous, so I am not afraid of anything.
He took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
The person who opened the door was an old lady.
That is Aunt Liang, the full-time nanny of the Shi family.
Aunt Liang naturally didn't recognize Lu Yiming. She asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
Lu Yiming introduced himself very politely: "Hello, I am Shi Qingxue's classmate. Is this Shi Qingxue's home? I heard that she was sick, so I came to visit her."
"Ah? Classmate? What's your name? I'll go ask Xiaoxue."
"Lu Yiming."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Aunt Liang went into the house to look for Qingxue, confirmed it, and then came out again with a much more enthusiastic look on her face.
"Come in."
Lu Yiming entered the room and looked around curiously.
Aunt Liang asked politely: "What kind of fruit would you like to eat? Tea or coffee?"
Lu Yiming replied politely: "I just came to see classmate Shi Qingxue, no need to trouble you."
Having been in the Shi family for several years, she had never seen Shi Qingxue get close to any boy, so Aunt Liang couldn't help but look at Lu Yiming a few more times: "Then drink some flower tea, it's hot in the summer, it can reduce internal heat."
Aunt Liang was busy in the kitchen, while Lu Yiming came to Shi Qingxue's boudoir.
This was the first time Lu Yiming entered a girl's room, and he couldn't help feeling a little weird.
In the room, Shi Qingxue was lying on the bed. When she saw Lu Yiming coming in, her eyes were filled with expectation, but she also looked a little flustered: "Why did you come in?"
She struggled to sit up, but Lu Yiming quickly held her down: "You are already sick, so don't move around and lie down obediently. By the way, where do you feel uncomfortable? Have you seen a doctor?"
Shi Qingxue's face suddenly turned red to the root of her neck. After hesitating for a long time, she whispered, "I'm not sick. I just have a stomachache."
Lu Yiming took a few glances and immediately understood that Shi Qingxue was having her period.
Upon learning this was the situation, Lu Yiming was immediately relieved.
He was restless the whole day today, and he had no idea how many possibilities he had thought of, such as car accidents, terminal illnesses, and other clichéd plots from TV dramas...
What I never expected was that Shi Qingxue was having her period.
Lu Yiming then silently noted the date in his mind.
"So that's how it is. I thought something was wrong and I was worried for a long time. Can I rub it for you?"
As soon as Lu Yiming put his hand in, Shi Qingxue caught it. Shi Qingxue silently guided Lu Yiming to put his hand in the right place.
Lu Yiming stroked Shi Qingxue's flat and smooth belly with moderate force.
Shi Qingxue felt the warmth from Lu Yiming's palm. Her breathing became heavier and heavier. She looked up at the ceiling, not daring to meet Lu Yiming's gaze.
After a while, Shi Qingxue said, "I didn't expect you to know so much. Tell me the truth, have other girls taught you before?"
Lu Yiming said without hesitation: "No, I'm just more diligent and studious. There are physiology classes in junior high school. Don't you remember the protein queen? How are you? Are you feeling better?"
"Hmm...comfortable..."
"You need to drink more hot water, okay?"
“…”
"Your parents are not home today?"
"They went out. Last night, someone from my dad's company came over and said something happened at the company. In the middle of the night, my dad came back drunk. I was in my room and heard him arguing with my mom in the living room. He even said he wanted a divorce. Lu Yiming, I was so scared."
In the bed, Shi Qingxue held Lu Yiming's hand tightly.
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Shi Caijiang, the word "divorce" was still a big blow to Shi Qingxue.
Lu Yiming coaxed her softly, "Don't be afraid, you still have me. Although I can't participate in your past, I will be there for your future."
Hearing Lu Yiming say this, Shi Qingxue felt like her heart was about to melt.
She recalled the day when she first met Lu Yiming in elementary school.
At that time, Shi Qingxue was a tomboy. She happened to see her father hugging another woman with a newborn baby in his arms.
She still remembered how sad and desperate she was at that time, and she even wanted to run away from home, but then she met Lu Yiming.
It was his cheerfulness and smile that warmed her wounded heart.
It was also from that day that she began to like blueberry flavored ice cream, because it was the first gift Lu Yiming gave her.
Now it seems that Lu Yiming probably has forgotten what happened at that time.
Lu Yiming, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember, I will always remember this precious memory.
"Um……"
Lu Yiming's words calmed down Shi Qingxue's chaotic thoughts.
No matter what, Lu Yiming is still here.
It's pretty good.
"Lu Yiming, you have to keep your word. You can't leave me. If you leave me, I will really have nothing."
Looking at Shi Qingxue's clear eyes, Lu Yiming's nose felt a little sour.
He solemnly promised: "Well, I will always be with you."
After saying this, it seemed that Lu Yiming was not only declaring his determination to Shi Qingxue, but he also felt a great sense of responsibility.
He suddenly felt like he had grown up.
He was no longer worried and confused. He believed that even if Shi Caijiang and Su Yunjin came back now, he would be able to face it calmly.
"Let's have dinner here tonight."
"good."
"I'll go talk to Aunt Liang."
"I'll go and talk to you."
Lu Yiming also guessed that the person just now was the nanny.
Aunt Liang naturally would not neglect Shi Qingxue's instructions. She took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and started preparing dinner.
When it was time for dinner, Shi Caijiang and Su Yunjin had not returned yet, so Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue were eating in the restaurant.
If Lu Yiming didn't come, it would be normal for Shi Qingxue to eat alone.
Aunt Liang is a good cook, and with Qingxue, such a beautiful lady, around, Lu Yiming would eat a few more bowls of food at dinner.
After dinner, the two sat in the living room and watched TV.
Aunt Liang glanced over from time to time, fearing that Lu Yiming would do something inappropriate. After all, her salary came from the Shi family, so she had to keep a close eye on Shi Qingxue.
Fortunately, Lu Yiming didn't do anything unbecoming. He was just watching TV with Shi Qingxue. It was just that the two of them were a little close to each other, which made Aunt Liang's eyelids twitch.
Although she was watching TV, Shi Qingxue was still absent-minded.
Lu Yiming had a headache: "Are you still worried about your parents' divorce?"
"Um."
These days, the ones who suffer the most in a divorce are the children.
After all, the children are innocent, but they are dragged into it because of the willfulness of the adults, resulting in the breaking of families and the loss of family affection.
"It seems that you don't want your parents to divorce."
"My dad was very nice to us before, really."
"Don't worry, your parents won't divorce that easily."
"real?"
"real."
Although she didn't know why Lu Yiming would arrange such a marriage, Shi Qingxue was still very happy to hear it.
No matter what, it would be best if we don't get divorced.
Watching the change in Shi Qingxue's expression, Lu Yiming felt in his heart that his rebirth was ultimately like a butterfly flapping its wings, quietly changing the original story line.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to get close to Shi Qingxue and been discovered by Shi Caijiang, given her cold and taciturn personality, the father and daughter wouldn't have come into conflict so quickly, triggering the whole incident.
According to Lu Yiming's guess, if it weren't for his "interference", Shi Caijiang should have waited until after Shi Qingxue took the college entrance examination before launching his long-planned arrangement, instead of making a big deal like a divorce now.
At ten o'clock in the evening, not only Shi Caijiang, but even Su Yunjin, who was called away by Lei Peilin, had not returned, which made Shi Qingxue very worried.
At this time, there were bursts of thunder outside, and it looked like a torrential rain was about to fall.
Just as the thunder and lightning were happening, the phone rang.
Shi Qingxue stood up immediately: "I'll go answer the phone."
The call was from Su Yunjin.
"Hello, is this Xiaoxue?"
"Um."
"Xiaoxue, Mom is at the company now. There are still many things to deal with here tonight, so I can't go back for the time being. Ask Aunt Liang to close the door and windows. You are afraid of the dark, so remember to turn on all the lights. With Aunt Liang accompanying you, you can rest assured at home."
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but frown slightly, because since she was old enough to understand, Su Yunjin seemed to have never taken care of the company's affairs. It was really a bit abnormal that she suddenly said that the company had a lot of things to deal with.
But Shi Qingxue is not the type to get to the bottom of things. She said, "Well, mom, you have to be careful outside too."
"Okay, my daughter is so good, Mua... I'm hanging up."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Qingxue was worried.
As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. First, the senior executives of the company suddenly came to see Su Yunjin, and then Su Yunjin, who had not been involved in the company's affairs for ten or twenty years, stayed up late to handle company affairs. It seemed that something important was about to happen.
The storm is about to come.
Seeing that Shi Qingxue was distracted after answering the phone, Lu Yiming immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Shi Qingxue then told Lu Yiming the content of the phone call and her own guesses.
After hearing this, Lu Yiming immediately understood.
It was probably because Shicai's asset transfer was exposed.
According to Shi Caijiang's strategy, Shi Jin Ji will probably go bankrupt soon. Therefore, the company's senior management will naturally have to ask Su Yunjin, the second largest shareholder, to step in.
After all, the one who betrayed them was their boss Shi Caijiang.
"It's okay. Things in the company change rapidly. Don't make blind guesses."
Lu Yiming comforted Shi Qingxue, then stood up and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back too."
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Yiming stood up and wanted to leave. After all, it was not suitable for him to stay overnight.
Although he really wanted to do it in his heart, it would not be good for Shi Qingxue. A girl's reputation and fame are very important, and he didn't want to leave a stain on Shi Qingxue's life because of him.
When I was about to enter the entrance hall, a loud thunder broke through the night sky, causing the glass to vibrate continuously.
Shi Qingxue's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but hug Lu Yiming from behind.
"Don't go, don't leave me alone."
Lu Yiming suddenly froze.
Even without looking back, he could feel Aunt Liang's shocked gaze in the distance.
"It's not good for me to stay here overnight. What will others think of you if the news gets out? Isn't Aunt Liang here to accompany you? Don't be afraid, I won't abandon you. I'll come over at dawn tomorrow, okay?"
Shi Qingxue was not willing to give in. She hugged Lu Yiming tightly and blushed. However, she was still willful and said stubbornly, "I don't care. I want you to stay with me tonight."
It was pouring outside and whispers were lingering inside the house.
Lu Yiming turned around and looked at Shi Qingxue's expectant eyes. Her bright eyes under her long eyelashes seemed to be about to cry, as if she was showing affection. He wanted to say no, but suddenly found it difficult to say it.
How could he refuse such a thing?
On such a cold and rainy night, Shi Qingxue was the most lonely and helpless and in need of company the most. It would be too cruel for him to refuse.
Lu Yiming took a deep breath, his eyes gradually firmed up: "Okay, I'll stay with you."
What stains, what rumors, go to hell with them, this is my future wife!
Whoever dares to talk nonsense, I will tear his mouth apart!
Seeing that Lu Yiming agreed to stay, Shi Qingxue finally burst into laughter.
Lu Yiming took the initiative to come to Aunt Liang and said apologetically: "Aunt Liang, I'm really sorry to trouble you. Please help me prepare a guest room."
Aunt Liang sighed silently, forced a smile and said, "It's not a problem. The guest rooms are ready."
Although it was against the rules to let a boy stay overnight at home, she also knew that Shi Caijiang and Su Yunjin were getting a divorce, and it would be pitiful for Shi Qingxue to be alone at home, so it would be good to have someone to accompany her.
What's more, the young man in front of him looked like a very honest child. Besides, with me keeping an eye on him, nothing serious should happen.
"Okay, I won't leave tonight. Are you satisfied now?" Lu Yiming pinched Shi Qingxue's face lovingly and scratched her straight and delicate nose lightly with his index finger.
Shi Qingxue suddenly smiled like a flower, but then she felt shy when she thought of her own audacity just now.
But soon, her gaze became firm again.
If you want something, you should take the initiative to fight for it.
Compromising and giving in everywhere like Su Yunjin did, only resulted in the current situation.
The two returned to the living room to watch TV. After watching for a while, Shi Qingxue began to yawn, so Lu Yiming said, "It's late now, shouldn't you have a good rest?"
"Um."
There was a violent storm outside with thunder and lightning, but Shi Qingxue felt at ease because Lu Yiming was by her side.
Lu Yiming entered the guest room and found that it was quite large. It not only had a shower room, but also a bathtub inside the shower room. It was also equipped with a washing machine with a washer and dryer, which was quite high-end.
After taking a bath in the bathtub, Lu Yiming threw all his clothes and pants into the washing machine to wash, and then got into bed.
Late at night, when Lu Yiming was half asleep and half awake, the door of his room was quietly opened.
A graceful figure floated in and scared him.
Shi Qingxue whispered in his ear: "It's me."
After Shi Qingxue finished speaking, she crawled into Lu Yiming's bed, scaring him again.
This girl is so brave!
Lu Yiming felt helpless. Was he attacked at night?
If Shi Caijiang and Su Yunjin knew about this, would they kill me?
