Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 97. The sky is beautiful today.

Xiao Mo glanced at her WeChat balance, her eyes crinkling with laughter. Just the fact that she could accumulate gold coins made her far superior to that stingy person.

Upstairs, Jiang Jixu's thoughts kept drifting away.

Lu Lishen answered the phone for me this morning. According to Xiao Mo, that means he spoke with Ji Yanci on the phone.

She thought about her conversation with the man—

You trust me that much?

Do you have a reason to lie to me?

Just in case.

Just what if... there is?

"Buzz-"

My phone, which was lying next to me, vibrated.

It was a message from Lu Lishen.

Jiang Jixu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if her secret thoughts had been exposed. Her heart skipped a beat, and her earlobes burned.

She opened the message.

It's a photo.

The first thing that catches the eye in the photo is a laptop computer, with a cartoon hand with distinct knuckles suspended above the keyboard. The sleeve is pulled up to reveal a slightly protruding wrist bone and a red rope bracelet.

Jiang Jixu vaguely felt that the bracelet looked familiar.

But she didn't pay much attention and sent a question mark.

Lu: [Just letting my wife know.]

Jiang Jixu couldn't help but smile, her hair falling down her cheek. She raised her hand to tuck it behind her ear, but it just happened to touch the pomegranate flower she was wearing by her temple.

As if she had just remembered something, she quickly got up and walked to the railing.

"Xiao Mo, do you still have any leftover materials from the last leaf exhibition?"

"It seems there's still a little left in the warehouse."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Jixu hurriedly go downstairs and run into the warehouse.

Xiao Mo followed curiously.

"Sister Jiang, why do you suddenly need those leaves?"

Jiang Jixu's eyes flickered slightly: "It's nothing."

She searched for a while before finding the materials.

These ginkgo leaves were left over from the autumn leaf exhibition held in the studio last year. The leaves are still golden yellow and look beautiful when the sunlight shines on them.

She carefully placed it in her palm, and then went back upstairs.

Her slender, fair fingers picked up a carving knife placed in the bamboo tube beside her.
-
Inside the meeting room, Lu Lishen glanced at his phone again.

Still no news.

With fingers slightly bent, he lightly tapped the table.

The person reporting from the front paused, looking nervously at Lu Lishen sitting in the middle: "President Lu, is there a problem?"

He felt a little unsure.

Despite his young age, this CEO Lu has been in charge of the entire Lu Group since he was a teenager.

Not only did he single-handedly develop the latest engine system, propelling the company to become a leading internet enterprise in the country, but he also single-handedly pulled the Lu family out of the mire.

But apart from the company's top management, no one knew that the president of Lu's Group was actually an undergraduate student who had not yet graduated.

Lu Lishen supported his chin with one hand, his eyelids half-closed.

He was wearing a sophisticated black suit, a stark contrast to his usual appearance at school.

The man didn't speak, his gaze fixed on the phone beside him.

The person on stage couldn't help but glance at the content of their PowerPoint presentation.

There shouldn't be any problems, right?

"Buzz-"

The black phone screen lit up.

Lu Lishen suddenly looked up, slowly extended his hand with elegant and dignified movements, but his speed in entering the lock screen password was surprisingly fast.

Below his report.

It was a video sent by the girl.

He paused, put on a Bluetooth headset, and then gently tapped to start the video.

The girl's slender fingertips held a golden leaf, and she seemed to be moving; the scene trembled slightly.

Slowly, the camera pans and rises as the leaves turn.

The azure sky shines through the hollowed-out parts of the leaves, and the two meet, instantly transforming the chaotic and unclear hollowed-out patterns into a painting.

The person in the painting is him.

Lu Lishen's eyelashes trembled slightly as he heard Jiang Jixu's sweet, porcelain-white voice.

“Lu Lishen, you adorn my hair with flowers, and I will return the leaf painting to you.”

"Also, the sky is beautiful today, I wanted to share it with you."
