Chapter 64 Chapter 64 A "surprise" running in both directions...
He decided not to go in yet.
So he listened outside the door as Lu Manman and Lu Quan quarreled on their phone watches. It wasn't really a quarrel, but they were fighting for the title of who was the most obedient.
So childish.
Liang Zhixia's legs were tired from standing, so he went downstairs again with the fruit plate.
The housekeeper saw him and hurriedly asked, "Why is Xiaoxia coming down again?"
Liang Zhixia said vaguely, "Manman is on the phone with Lu Quan."
The housekeeper understood instantly.
At this time, the sound of a car suddenly came from outside the door.
Liang Zhixia looked over curiously, and saw a short-haired woman getting out of the car.
The housekeeper standing next to him greeted her: "Madam, you are back. Why are you back so early today?"
When Liang Zhixia heard the word "Madam", he knew the identity of this woman.
She was Lu Quan's mother.
The other party had already seen him, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Hello."
Jiang Li naturally saw him and knew his identity.
"You are Xia Xia, right? I often hear Manman mention you."
In Liang Zhixia's impression, he thought Lu Quan's mother would be the kind of workaholic, after all, Lu Quan said that his parents both like to work.
But completely opposite, Lu Quan's mother speaks very gently and always has a smile on her face.
Lu Manman upstairs seemed to have lost the quarrel, and came downstairs angrily, buried her head in Jiang Li's arms, and shouted: "Mom! Brother is so bad! Obviously I am the best child!"
Jiang Li picked him up and whispered: "Brother is playing with Manman."
Lu Manman wrinkled his little nose and said reluctantly: "Okay, Manman is a generous child!"
After that, he whispered again: "Brother is a stingy child."
Liang Zhixia secretly observed the way Lu Quan's mother and Lu Manman got along, and found that it was the same as an ordinary family.
Jiang Li asked the housekeeper to take Lu Manman out to play.
Liang Zhixia blinked, and then realized that Lu Quan's mother had something to say to him.
Sure enough, Lu Quan's mother said, "You are Lu Quan's boyfriend, right?"
"?!"
He quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm not, Auntie!"
Jiang Li looked at the boy in front of her with a red face, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to break you up. To be honest, I'm quite surprised."
Liang Zhixia puzzled: "What's surprising?"
Jiang Li took the water handed to him by the servant, took a sip to moisten his throat, and said, "I'm surprised that Lu Quan actually likes someone."
"???"
Perhaps the expression on his face was too shocked, Jiang Li smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. His father and I have always thought that Lu Quan would be lonely for the rest of his life. After all, he is different from others."
Liang Zhixia felt that what she would say next would be very important.
"When Lu Quan's father and I were young, we only wanted to work hard and make a career, so we ignored Lu Quan who was still young at that time. At that time, his father and I often flew abroad and were not at home, which gave the nanny the opportunity to do evil."
Liang Zhixia was puzzled: "Isn't there a surveillance camera at home?"
Jiang Li paused and smiled bitterly: "It was installed, but we didn't have time to check it. Later we found that the surveillance camera had been turned off for a long time."
Liang Zhixia: "Then how did you find out?"
Jiang Li seemed to want something to make her angry, but there was a sense of despair.
"I remember that day was Lu Quan's birthday. His father and I bought him a birthday cake and planned to go home to give him a surprise, but we didn't find him and the nanny after we got home until we walked to the backyard and found that there was a lock on the door of the small house, and there was a sound coming from inside."
Liang Zhixia had already guessed what happened next.
"His father and I thought it was a thief or some small animal, but when we opened it, it was Lu Quan. He was so small and thin, lying on the cold ground with wounds all over his body. The weather was very cold at that time, just like it is now, but his body was very hot and he couldn't even open his eyes. His father and I were terrified at the time. After we sent him to the hospital, the doctor scolded him."
Liang Zhixia felt like something was blocking her throat and she couldn't speak.
"Luckily we sent him there in time. The doctor said if it was any later, he might not be able to be saved. Lu Quan woke up that night. He was sitting on the hospital bed. After his father and I opened the cake and put the candles on it, he said something. He said the candles were put in the wrong place. He didn't say a word for a long time afterwards."
Liang Zhixia's fingers moved slightly, and her throat seemed to be scratched by something. She said hoarsely, "What about the nanny?"
Jiang Li showed a pale smile, "She was sent there."
"You told me this because you want me to--"
"Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to speak well of us in front of Lu Quan. This was a mistake made by his father and I. It's understandable that he doesn't forgive us. I don't want you to be more tolerant of him."
Liang Zhixia frowned slightly, "Then what do you mean--"
Jiang Li looked up and out the window, as if he was looking at a place far away, "Since that incident, he has been unwilling to talk to others. He has become withdrawn and silent. Even at school, he has been isolated by others. I was particularly worried that he would be sad, but no. He even retaliated in his own way, because that was the first time he was called to the school by his parents."
"Later, at the teacher's suggestion, we sent him to see a psychologist. After several years of treatment, he gradually became like a normal person, but he is still seeing a psychologist. You should know what this means?"
Liang Zhixia nodded, indicating that Lu Quan still has big psychological problems.
Jiang Li: "He may have psychological problems for the rest of his life. If you can't accompany him, just be cruel. His father and I can help you leave here."
Liang Zhixia immediately understood what Lu Quan meant by not abandoning him.
He suddenly felt very sad. Lu Quan obviously had parents who loved him and a wealthy life, but his life was ruined by a little nanny.
It turned out that there was such a painful experience under that cold face.
Jiang Li saw that the boy was thinking, and did not say anything for a while, and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
Liang Zhixia turned around and said, "Thank you for telling me these things, but no one can predict what will happen in the future, so don't worry. Lu Quan is different now. He is very good and will get better and better."
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, this is my contact information, you can contact me if you need it."
Liang Zhixia took the business card: "Okay."
Neither he nor Jiang Li mentioned this meeting to Lu Quan.
On the day Lu Quan came back from a business trip, Liang Zhixia went to the airport to pick him up with a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
So much so that Lu Quan pressed him against the bed and kissed him for more than half an hour that night.
When he got up the next day, his entire lips were red and swollen.
He had to wear a mask in the library for a day.
Jiang Ling teased, "The school hunk is back, and he's really different. Look at his face, so rosy and shiny."
"..."
He lowered his head to glance at his phone, then looked up and asked casually, "Why hasn't it snowed this year?"
Jiang Ling is a native of City A. He frowned and said, "I heard from my mother that the snow this year may come very late, or it may not come at all."
"Not coming?!"
Jiang Ling was shocked to see his big reaction, and asked in confusion, "Do you really want it to snow? It's cold and the ground is slippery when it snows, but you can play in the snow."
Fan Li, who came late, ran over with a red face and exhaled cold air, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Ling: "Why are you so late?"
Fan Li took a breath and said, "I went... to meet a friend."
Liang Zhixia suddenly thought of something, blinked, and lowered her head.
Jiang Ling snorted, "I think she's going to meet her boyfriend. Her mouth is so red."
Fan Li covered her mouth in panic, then put it down awkwardly, and said with a smile, "Your eyes are still so sharp."
Liang Zhixia raised his head, but there was no shock on his face. Fortunately, the two people opposite him didn't notice his calm expression, otherwise they would definitely ask.
Fan Li whispered, "Isn't Christmas coming? He asked me what gift I want?"
Jiang Ling frowned and said, "Is your boyfriend reliable? Aren't gifts supposed to be surprises?"
Fan Li scratched his head and said, "He is a straight man, just in the literal sense. I said I wanted a scarf he knitted by himself, and just now I went to buy a ball of yarn with him."
Liang Zhixia, who was listening nearby, suddenly thought of Lu Quan's birthday, which was the day before Christmas.
Why don't he also knit a scarf for Lu Quan?
So he secretly sent a message to Fan Li, asking him where he bought the balls of yarn.
After getting the address, he went to pick out several balls of yarn by himself.
After he left, two more boys came into the store.
"You want to knit it yourself?"
"Yes."
"My junior will definitely be very touched! No! As your good brother, I want you to knit it yourself too!"
"Get lost."
*
During this period, Liang Zhixia has been secretly learning to knit a scarf, but it is too difficult.
In order to give Lu Quan a surprise, he hid everything with Fan Li.
After hooking the wrong line again, he reached out and scratched his hair, pulling the progress bar forward again.
Fan Li, who was sitting next to him, looked at his messy hairstyle and sighed.
This is love brain.
He didn't want to knit a towel for his boyfriend at all. It was not only tiring but also brain-consuming. He was afraid that knitting would make himself angry.
At dinner time, Liang Zhixia packed up the scarf she had just knitted and put it in Fan Li's drawer, saying, "Are you really not going to have dinner with us?"
Fan Li shook her head, "I'll go with others."
"Okay."
After seeing Lu Quan downstairs in the dormitory, he walked over and said, "Why are you free today?"
Lu Quan: "I still have time to have dinner with you."
Liang Zhixia: "Oh."
Since Lu Quan came back from his business trip last time, he has been getting busier and busier, so Liang Zhixia asked this question.
After dinner, Lu Quan hurried back to the company.
Liang Zhixia also rushed to Fan Li's dormitory without stopping.
After a while, Fan Li came back.
He looked at Liang Zhixia sitting on the chair and couldn't help but admire her: "You... have this perseverance, you will succeed in everything you do."
Liang Zhixia didn't have time to listen to his "compliments", and hurriedly said, "Come and help me see, isn't this line drawn like this? Did I draw it wrong again?"
Fan Li sighed and sat over to help him see.
At the same time, the top floor office of Lu's was brightly lit.
Xu Cheng scratched his head with a painful expression: "I can't knit, what's the point of calling me?"
Lu Quan had a cold face, as if he was doing some rigorous scientific experiment.
"You know too much."
Xu Cheng now regretted accompanying him to buy a ball of yarn that day, and he really couldn't knit!
