Chapter 19

"Come in."

Lu Qi'an was straightforward and decisive, but Fu Jia was stunned, frozen in place, motionless.

He didn't believe it was that simple.

Lu Qi'an looked at him: "Aren't you coming in?"

Fu Jia shook his head, and stepped into the door in two steps.

His apartment was the same, with little life. In the guest shoe cabinet, three pairs of brand new slippers were neatly arranged, like goods in a store.

Fu Jia casually took a pair and put them on, noticing that even the tiniest corner of the shoe cabinet was spotless.

Because Lu Qi'an loves to be clean, he changed the slippers that others only wore once, not because he disliked him, right?

Fu Jia didn't ask.

Lu Qi'an entered the living room, and Fu Jia followed him to the living room.

Lu Qi'an sat on the sofa. It was a beige fabric sofa with no creases except where he was sitting. Fu Jia looked around and hesitated to sit down.

He asked: "Aren't you going to the study?"

Lu Qi'an picked up the kettle and glass in front of him to pour water, and put it back on the table without drinking after it was poured: "No, it's here."

Fu Jia looked left and right, no Sit next to Lu Qi'an, but sit on the small sofa on one side, put the schoolbag on his lap, and look for the exercise book inside.

After taking out the exercise book, Fu Jia turned to the page he had marked before handing it over, and said: "I have marked every question, not many, about ten."

Lu Qi'an took it over and flipped through it: "Yes. For you, these questions are all difficult, on average, each question takes ten minutes."

"Ten minutes?" Fu Jia was a little surprised. He's here to mess around, but it's late at night, and he's not shameless enough to occupy others for a hundred minutes. Afraid that Lu Qi'an might misunderstand, he waved his hands and said, "That's enough to say one thing, just one thing."

Lu Qi'an looked up at him: "One?"

Fu Jia didn't dare to hesitate, and nodded vigorously: "Just one."

Lu Qi'an didn't say any more, and started talking directly. He estimated it accurately. Although it only took three or four minutes for him to speak once, Fu Jia couldn't understand it once. He had to slow down and speak again. It took about ten minutes in the end.

During this period, Fu Jia has been sitting in the same place very well, not moving at all. He memorized the topic, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't go over to read it.

After agreeing one thing is one, Fu Jia nodded and said "understand", he directly closed the exercise booklet and handed it back.

Fu Jia stretched out his hands to take it, and said, "Thank you."

Lu Qi'an replied lightly: "No."

Fu Jia took a deep breath, trying to be indifferent: "Then I'll go back."

Lu Qi'an glanced at his watch: "Now the school is closed. It 's locked."

Fu Jia shrugged and jokingly said, "I'll see if I can get in with Mr. Liu, if not, I'll just stay in a hotel, and don't sleep in a park." After finishing speaking, he cheered himself on and smiled.

Of course, Lu Qi'an didn't smile.

He didn't think it was funny, because he was sure that Fu Jia would sleep in the park after leaving.

Fu Jia wouldn't go to Teacher Liu, because Fu Jia didn't even dare to sit on the sofa in his apartment, how could he dare to go to a teacher who was close to him? Fu Jia wouldn't go to a hotel, because Fu Jia didn't even want to eat meat for three meals, so how could she be willing to spend money on accommodation?

He probably also felt that today he managed to enter this apartment and stayed for more than ten minutes at the cost of lying in the park overnight, which was quite profitable.

Lu Qi'an pushed over the water that had been poured earlier, and said, "Drink."

Fu Jia's eyes widened in surprise, and he shook his head quickly: "I'm not thirsty."

Lu Qi'an looked at his dry and chapped lips, and said, "You look very thirsty."

Sensing his gaze, Fu Jia raised her hand subconsciously, and rubbed her lips with the back of her hand: "Maybe. But you drink what you pour, and I pour mine." After finishing speaking, he paused again, "No, I'm now I'm leaving, I'll go out and buy a bottle of water later."

He was talking nonsense again.

He is not willing to buy water at all, and he will probably stay up until the morning to go back to school and go to the cafeteria to drink for free.

Lu Qi'an knew that Fu Jia could not be so frugal. If he doesn't move out of the Lin family's villa, Mrs. Chen will be responsible for all his basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, and the school expenses will be debited from the card Mrs. Chen took. What's more, even if he moved out, if he didn't transfer to No. 6 Middle School, didn't study hard all day, and wasn't restricted by the school from working part-time, he didn't have to be so fussy and eat the money he had accumulated before every day.

Lu Qi'an knew it all.

Because he knew, he said, "Drink, it's getting late, you can stay with me temporarily tonight."

Even when Lu Qi'an was making a long speech, his tone rarely fluctuated. It is precisely because of this that other people can't figure out his true thoughts, and can't judge whether his words are sincere or superficially polite.

Fu Jia has a ruler in his heart, knows what can be taken seriously and what can't, so he will accept a lunch complacently, but he doesn't take what Lu Qi'an said now seriously.

He shook his head and said, "No, I live here…it shouldn't be convenient."

The glass full of water was placed between the two of them, and no one touched it. Lu Qi'an said: "I know you won't be able to go back to school, so will I drive you away? It's just a one-night stay, so it's not convenient or inconvenient."

Fu Jia's voice was dry, and he felt a little dazed.

Should he take this seriously?

He thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I won't go to Teacher Liu. I said that before, just because I was afraid that you wouldn't let me in. I will go to the school dormitory to intercede. If I can't get in, I will go." The hotel, it's just a joke to go to the park to sleep."

Lu Qi'an clasped his hands together, exerting light force on his knuckles, as if he was thinking. The expression on his face didn't change, he was very calm. But Fu Jia keenly felt that he was in a bad mood.

To put it bluntly, I was just angry.

If a person watches another person carefully for ten years, he will always develop some instinctive reaction.

"Are you afraid that I will find it inconvenient?" Lu Qi'an asked.

Fu Jia nodded stiffly: "Yeah."

Lu Qi'an pursed his lips, and said in a cold voice: "Then you go."

Fu Jia was stunned.

He carefully recalled the conversation between the two, realized something, and explained anxiously: "When I went in to change my shoes, I found that all the slippers were replaced with new ones, but I only wore them once or twice before. I thought you disliked me, so I just…"

Lu Qi'an frowned and interrupted him: "I never asked you in this regard."

He put the accent on the word "in this regard".

Fu Jia took a deep breath, hid her trembling hands behind her back, and said, "Yes, you never asked me to, and I pestered you unilaterally, so every time you said something, I would change it and learn from it.

" After saying the unspeakable words, Fu Jia felt better, her hands stopped shaking, and the swelling in her chest also calmed down. He said: "I'm just… afraid of making you unhappy. When you came to look for me in the sixteenth middle school, I made you angry. Not only that, but you also scolded me.

" Lu Qi'an is one year older, but his wording and tone at the moment are like a child's.

He lowered his head, not noticing that Lu Qi'an's clasped hands were getting stronger, even to the point where his knuckles turned white.

He also didn't notice that Lu Qi'an was watching him from the beginning to the end, rarely avoiding his eyes.

"What are you afraid of? At that time, I just told you to calm down and didn't say anything unnecessary."

"Not only did you tell me to calm down, but you also called me crazy." Fu Jia grasped this point precisely. Lu Qi'an asked him back: "You suddenly rushed up and hugged me, and you still hugged me around my neck. You didn't think about asking for my permission in advance. Shouldn't I scold

you?"

Brought back to the end of May, recalling the good smell he smelled from Lu Qi'an.

He felt embarrassed: "You came to see me suddenly and applied medicine for me. I thought you… could accept it."

After saying this, both of them fell into silence.

In the afternoon of that day, the sudden hug was as hot as fire, and it only took a little memory to feel the reckless heat.

I don't know how long it took before Lu Qi'an said, "Next time, I will ask for my permission first."

Fu Jia was taken aback.

This kind of thing… can there be a next time?

Before he could figure it out, Lu Qi'an stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll take you to the guest room. You can relax, I won't be angry."

"I won't be angry."——This kind of promise is enough to say It is precious.

Fu Jia opened her mouth, unable to speak, and followed him obediently to stand up.

Lu Qi'an's apartment is not big, and the room area is small. A single bed can only be placed against the wall inside, and there is no bathroom. Even so, the windows of the room are wide open, and the orientation is good, making the room look transparent and open.

Lu Qi'an let Fu Jia in, and stood by the door himself: "You know the location of the bathroom, I will use it in my room, so you can use it as you like."

Fu Jia rummaged through the cabinet for things needed for washing, looking A little absent-minded, he didn't turn his head back, but just responded with his back turned.

Lu Qi'an didn't say any more, and reached out to close the door.

"Wait." As soon as he opened the door, Fu Jia stopped him.

Fu Jia hesitated and said, "Do you still remember that I told you before that I wanted to get to know you?"

This was what he said when he squatted at Lu Qi'an in front of No. 6 Middle School for the first time. It was also the first time he got into No. 6 Middle School that day, and he disgusted Lu Qi'an in a childish way, trying to get his attention.

"I haven't told you the reason. In fact, I pester you like this because I think you are different from others, different from other people in the villa. Many years ago, I received a band-aid from you. Do you still remember? After that day, I felt that you might be willing to play with me…"

He dissected his desire for Lu Qi'an layer by layer, and told him the most rooted thing, hoping to be able to Impress him.

He spoke from the bottom of his heart, without realizing that at his age it was no longer suitable for him to say the words "play together".

The childishness he showed made Lu Qi'an startled. In a daze, it seemed as if the chirping of cicadas in summer was ringing in his ears again. His eyes passed through the courtyard of Lin's villa, and he saw Fu Jia squatting beside the weed pile. He was just a child at that time, hiding pitifully. Blow your fingers aside.

In the cloudy weather, the weeds were full of dampness, the child was sweating, his clothes were wet, and he looked dazed.

Lu Qi'an claimed to be a single-minded person in dealing with things, but he failed this time: he came to catch dragonflies, but was attracted by a strange child.

He threw the dragonfly to the child on purpose, but the child just stared at him blankly. He tried to use some tricks, and this stupid child knew how to catch the dragonfly with his hands.

He asked him, "Can you give me the dragonfly?" The

child was still staring at him, not knowing whether he listened or not.

He wasn't angry, just amused.

Lu Qi'an maintained the movement of closing the door, put his hand lightly on the doorknob, and did not speak.

Fu Jia continued, with a seriousness that he wished to cut open his heart, and said, "Lu Qi'an, you are very good to me." The

door was half closed, and the shadow cast blocked half of Lu Qi'an's face. He was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Really."

He didn't know whether he was asking Fu Jia or himself.

"Good night." With that, he closed the door.
