Chapter 279
Bai Luo stood at the door of the utility room, thought for a while, then lightly pressed the doorknob, and under the dim light, she saw Chu Luochuan leaning on an old black lacquered wooden armchair, looking at the small window on one side.

When the young man heard the door knock, he looked back just in time.

Seeing the young girl with fair cheeks sticking her head in, her slender fingers resting on the edge of the door, she stared at herself with clear eyes.

He suddenly withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at her.

"Can I come in?" she asked softly.

He was silent for a moment, the metacarpals resting on his knees tightened, and his heart rate accelerated again inexplicably, but he opened his lips and said coldly:

"Don't bother me."

".Oh."

Nan Luo nodded, stepped back, and closed the door.

With a soft 'bang' sound, the utility room returned to the silence just now, and Chu Luochuan felt inexplicably empty in his heart, "."

really left?

He tightly pursed his pale crimson lips, his mood was complicated, and there was a faint sense of loss buried in him.

After a while, there was another sound at the door behind him.

The girl's gentle footsteps sounded, and when he looked back, she had almost walked in front of him, holding a handful of candied dried fruits in her small white hand, she didn't speak, and didn't ask him whether he agreed or not, she went straight to the mess Sit down on a wooden box in the room.

She happened to be sitting opposite him, and looked directly at him when she raised her eyes.

"Here." She handed over the food in her hand.

Chu Luochuan was taken aback for a moment, then turned his face indifferently, "I don't eat these things."

Nanluo said "oh", her expression was calm, and she didn't feel sad after being rejected by him. She shook her legs lightly, stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth, and muttered:
"That's the best."

"."

So she just handed him those little sweets just out of courtesy?For some reason, Chu Luochuan felt that the roots of his teeth were a little itchy, and the line of his jaw was tense. He straightened up on the armchair, raised his hand and snatched a handful of things from her.

Nan Luo opened her eyes wide and looked at him, but didn't say anything.

After sitting for a while, she felt that the box was hard, so she got up and wandered around the utility room twice, wandering aimlessly.

Chu Luochuan watched her figure swaying in front of her. The pale pink flower pleats on the bottom of the small foreign skirt were exquisite, and in the twilight that shone in from the small window, it looked like an epiphyllum quietly blooming.

As soon as she turned around, the hem of the skirt lightly turned half a circle, she suddenly walked back, came to him, bent slightly and said:
"You said, you don't like me, you hate me following you and disturbing your quietness in the Chu family, how about we play a game? If you win, I will never pester you again."

"."

Never bother again?

The boy's figure was slightly stiff, his shoulders and neck were thin and slender, and his posture leaning on the chair was particularly languid and beautiful, and even the inexplicable loss and sense of loss could not be seen in the beautiful outline.

After a while, he sullenly put on an air of indifference.

"Okay, how to play?"

Nan Luo's eyes flickered, she thought for a while, and from the corner of her eye, she saw a few brand-new mahogany boxes in the corner, on which lay a book with a black cover, and she didn't know who put it there.

She opened her lips, pointed at the book, and suggested to the young man: "I'll say the number of pages, you say the number of lines, and the first word you turn to later, if the strokes are even numbers, you promise me a request, If it's an odd number, I'll listen to you and won't bother you anymore."

Chu Luochuan looked at her, stared at her face for a moment, lowered his eyes, and said with an unclear expression: "Okay."

he wishes
He loses.

"?" Nanluo didn't expect him to agree so quickly.

She hasn't even said whether it's the first word from the left, or the first word from the right, or which word she happened to notice first.

She planned to take a gamble anyway.

Even if she loses, she can still deny it.

After all, Zhao Jingyu had a good relationship with him only by showing shame in front of him, and she could be even more shameless than Zhao Jingyu.

Nanluo didn't even know what to call Chu Luochuan stupid.

Or is he deliberately giving her water?

However, the chance to win is here.

She was ready, and when the time came, she would insist on a word with even-numbered strokes without blushing.

She went to the corner to get the book back, sat in front of Chu Luochuan, and put the book on her lap.

"Come here."

She greeted the boy.

With a blank expression on his face, he got up and walked to her side, glanced at the top of her black and soft hair, the silver hairpin on the bun was shining, he blinked, and said calmly: "Page Nine."

"Then I'll take the ninth row."

After Nan Luo finished speaking, she turned a corner of the page with her green fingertips.

The paper at the corners of the pages was very white, but there were no numbers printed on it. She pushed aside a few more pages, gave a suspicious 'Huh', and muttered, "Is this an empty book, or a picture album?"

Chu Luochuan frowned. He was standing, so naturally he couldn't see the corner of the book that was held on her lap. When she quietly found out that she had lost, and was about to refuse to admit it, he suddenly reached out and took the book from her lap. Let's go, just open a few pages generously.

There are indeed no numbers in the corner of the page.

However, when he turned his eyes a little, he saw the picture of two figures intertwined in the middle of the page. He was astonished, but felt that the picture was too glaring, and his ears suddenly turned red.

'Clap' to a sound.

The book was slammed shut and thrown onto a wooden box beside it.

"What are you doing?" Nanluo was almost taken aback by his big reaction, she was taken aback, raised her head and asked him: "Have you turned to the ninth line on the ninth page, the first word is double Is the number correct? Chu Luochuan, do you want to deny it?"

"." The young man just wanted to shut her mouth. The irritability and embarrassment in his heart made him unable to control himself. He said in a hoarse voice: "That game doesn't count, change it."

Nan Luo tilted her head and stared at him carefully, seeing that his face was blushing as if bleeding, he must have lost, she was afraid and ashamed.

She leaned over and reached out to pick up the book he had thrown out. She pressed her fingertips against the cover of the book, making a gesture to open it.

next second.

She was quickly held down by the young man's little hand.

His face was dark and ugly, just like the evening glow not long ago, bright and dark, under the dim light, he looked like a little daughter-in-law who had been bullied by hooligans, her whole face was awkward.

Nan Luo turned her wrist, trying to break free.

But the force in his hand became more ruthless, he pulled the book away, threw it far away, and stopped her who was still about to run to pick it up.

Nan Luo hummed and pushed him.

But he stood in front of her, his heels were extremely steady, and his shoulders would not move no matter how she pushed him.

Half a head taller than her, when he stared at her coldly with downcast eyes, he was fierce and strict, "Don't pick it up."

Nanluo was reluctant, and finally found an opportunity to cure him, so she didn't want to miss it.

The girl was determined to be willful, and kept looking for opportunities to get under the boy's arm. Chu Luochuan didn't want to touch her, and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stop her from picking up the book and opening it, so she said in a calm and irritable voice:
"Just treat it as me losing, and I promise you a request."
