Chapter 76 Go to bed

Lunch was simple.

Feng Jiahe and Liu Ping were busy, Lu Yu helped out a bit, and Zhou Qianyun was in charge of serving the dishes.

When we lived across from each other, during holidays, both families would simply leave their doors open, use both kitchens together, and then bring the food to one of the families' living rooms, set up a round table, and have a lively meal.

The two little ones sat together, sharing the food they couldn't finish, which made the adults smile with delight.

Now, Lu Yu and Zhou Qianyun are also sitting together.

"Move it a little over there, it's uncomfortable!"

Zhou Qianyun gestured and picked up her chopsticks.

"have to."

Lu Yu responded, but instead of moving the chair, he switched the chopsticks to his left hand.

....fool."

Zhou Qianyun muttered something that only Lu Yu, with his [Beginner Listening] level, could hear clearly, and then picked up her bowl to hide her expression.

When I was a child, the living room was small and the table was tiny. It was inevitably crowded when the two families sat around it.

Lu Yu developed his ability to use chopsticks with his left hand during that time. Incidentally, he also learned to write with his left hand, but he hasn't used it for a long time.

He reached out his chopsticks, preparing to pick up a piece of pork rib, but halfway there, another pair of chopsticks unexpectedly collided with his.

Turning around, it was indeed Zhou Qianyun.

"Here you go, here you go, here you go."

Lu Yu then picked up the piece next to him.

Aunt Liu Ping's cooking skills are excellent. Lu Yu loves her braised pork ribs. It's a pity that Zhou Qianyun probably won't be able to inherit this skill.

Then he reached for the eggplant with his chopsticks.

Wait, what? It's Zhou Qianyun again?

You did this on purpose, didn't you?

"snort."

This time, Zhou Qianyun stopped.

The adults were chatting about their lives and work, and Lu Yu listened to them only half-heartedly.

Zhou Qianyun's father would occasionally mention that Lao Lu should retire as soon as possible and come to work for him in a sinecure, but Lao Lu always brushed it off.

Lu Yu knew his father's temper. He was a stubborn man; if he could do something, he could do it, and if he couldn't, he wouldn't occupy a position without doing anything. If he went to Zhou Qingyang's company, things would be more or less unclear.

Unless he was really killed by Ji Xunsheng's father at the factory.

For Lu Yu's sake, it's estimated that Lu Yu will have to swallow his pride and ask his good brother for help.

Pan-fried ribbonfish.

"Pa!"

"Zhou Qianyun, what are you doing?"

"Lu! Yu!"

The two finally couldn't hold back any longer and were about to explode through gritted teeth.

"These two kids are quite a good match; they even have the same taste in food."

Zhou Qingyang joked with a smile.

Lu Yu and Zhou Qianyun fell silent immediately.

Forget it, let's eat. Let's not argue with kids.

The rice was the priority, so Lu Yu quickly shoveled it all away.

"By the way, I saw Ji Xunsheng and his dad at school before. They said that after he becomes the factory manager next year, he's going to fire you, Dad."

Join the adults' conversation.

Bringing it up at the dinner table might at least allow Zhou Qianyun's parents and Grandpa Zhou to persuade Old Lu.

Zhou Qianyun stopped eating and listened quietly.

"That can't be right. Our workshop's performance is excellent. What reason could he possibly have to fire me?"

Old Lu, I hate that you're such a blockhead!

"Not only will you be fired, but all the uncles in your workshop will also be fired."

Lu Yu delivered the finishing blow.

"Ji Xunsheng is a real scoundrel. How come I didn't see he was an ingrate back then?"

Feng Jiahe is outspoken.

"Brother Heng, I'm an outsider in the machine tool factory business now, so it's not convenient for me to say anything. But if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

Zhou Qingyang knew Lu Heng's personality well; actively interfering would only make him rise up. He just needed to cover for him in the end.

"Yeah, but that's what Ayu heard. Let's take it one step at a time and prepare a backup plan."

Liu Ping echoed.

"I know, I've spoken with the old factory director, but it's just hearsay. We can't find any problems with Ji Yiwei right now, but I'll keep an eye on it."

Lu Heng reluctantly agreed.

After lunch, Zhou Qingyang and Lao Lu went fishing, and Zhou's grandfather was invited along.

Feng Jiahe and Liu Ping were watching TV in the living room, chatting about clothes and hairdressing, and planning to go shopping at the mall next door in the afternoon.

Lu Yu was in charge of washing the dishes.

"There are still oil stains over there, keep an eye on them."

Zhou Qianyun, wearing sandals, was in charge of supervising the work.

"I see. The dishes need to be washed one by one, understand?"

Lu Yu handed her the washed dishes without turning his head.

Zhou Qianyun carefully placed the bowls back on the stand and returned to Lu Yu's side.

Hearing the noise from the kitchen, the two mothers in the living room peeked out, exchanged a smile, and then smiled at each other.

After Lu Yu dried his hands and came out with Zhou Qianyun, Liu Ping called out to him.

"Come and let Auntie see our handsome little boy."

It seems that Lu Yu's current good looks appeal to all age groups.

"No way, they just play ball aimlessly every day and don't study properly."

Feng Jiahe smiled modestly.

"Wow, those arm muscles are pretty good. And you even have abs now?"

Liu Ping pinched his upper arm under his short-sleeved shirt.

"well enough."

When Lu Yu saw Liu Ping reach out, he simply tensed his abdominal muscles.

"Wow, it really does! Playing basketball does have its benefits."

Liu Ping touched the distinct muscles, withdrew her hand, and smiled at Zhou Qianyun sitting next to Lu Yu.

"A-Qian, come and touch it too, it feels really nice."

"What's so special about it? I don't want it."

Zhou Qianyun glanced at Lu Yu's clothes, looked down at her phone, and then secretly glanced at it again while Lu Yu was dealing with his two mothers' nagging.

The clothes were loose and baggy, making it impossible to tell whether they were there or not.

It shouldn't be that bad, right?

The last time Zhou Qianyun saw Lu Yu's physique was when they went to the water park during summer vacation. She didn't see any abs then. Has this kid been secretly working out?

After chatting for a while, Feng Jiahe urged Lu Yu to do his homework and asked Zhou Qianyun to help him with it.

"study?"

Lu Yu picked up his schoolbag.

"My room, please."

Zhou Qianyun slid in her sandals and asked Lu Yu to bring in a chair, then closed the door behind her.

Her desk was quite large, more than enough for two people to sit on, which Lu Yu greatly envied.

His own photo was fine when he was a child, but now that he's grown up, he can't even stretch his legs out.

With her legs crossed and her toes hooked on her sandals, Zhou Qianyun began to speak English to Lu Yu.

After briefly reviewing the homework questions that he hadn't understood, he let Lu Yu do his homework on his own.

Zhou Qianyun also picked up her pen and began writing the rest of her homework.

A moment of silence fell, with only the faint sound of the television in the living room and the two mothers' casual conversation echoing in the background.

The math in the top class is very difficult. Cai Qingchuan will assign some extra challenging problems, such as the third part of the three major questions in the college entrance examination. Math is not Zhou Qianyun's strong point, and she always gets stuck on it.

After racking her brains, she put down her pen and glanced at Lu Yu beside her.

Lu Yu was also struggling to write in English, silently reciting the reading comprehension passages, his hand unconsciously twirling the pen.

His fingers were slender with distinct knuckles, unlike those of someone who plays basketball often; they looked more like the hands of someone who plays the piano. In short, they were very beautiful.

If you hold hands...

Lu Yu began to write, and Zhou Qianyun hurriedly looked away.

The math problems are even harder to understand now.

"I can't study anymore, I've burned out."

After finishing the last reading comprehension exercise, Lu Yu slumped into his chair.

It was the weekend, and Lu Yu had just finished lunch when he started reading three English passages. He couldn't find a reason not to feel sleepy.

"This is nothing."

Zhou Qianyun took the opportunity to put down her pen and rest.

"It must be because I ate too much at lunch and I'm sleepy."

Lu Yu got up and made a move to lie down on Zhou Qianyun's bed.

"Hey, hey, this is my bed!"

Zhou Qianyun panicked.

"I know, if I sleep in the guest room, they'll know I'm slacking off."

Lu Yu kicked off his slippers, lay down on Zhou Qianyun's bed, and skillfully rolled over, pulling back the covers.

"You! I'm going to tell Aunt Feng!"

Zhou Qianyun stood up.

"Uh-huh.

""

Lu Yu had already read the random reply and crawled into Zhou Qianyun's bed.

The beautiful girl's bed is soft, fragrant, and very comfortable to sleep in. I wish I could sleep in it every day.

Clenching her fist, Zhou Qianyun ultimately decided not to tell her parents.

After a while, Liu Ping's voice came from the living room, through the door.

"A-Qian, A-Yu, let's go shopping at the mall next door. You two study hard. There will be fruit and snacks if you get hungry."

Zhou Qianyun responded, and then the sounds of changing shoes and opening and closing doors came from outside.

Turning around, Lu Yu only frowned, but did not wake up.

The room fell silent, leaving only Zhou Qianyun and Lu Yu inside.

Write math problems.

I can't write it down.

My mind is a mess.

I was really sleepy when I got hungry for lunch.

Zhou Qianyun put down her pen and subconsciously went to lie down on the bed, but when she turned around, she saw Lu Yu fast asleep.

I don't want to go to the guest room next door.

Perhaps sleepiness was really creeping in, Zhou Qianyun puffed out her cheeks, looking a little sullen.

It's all Lu Yu's fault.

Why are you sleeping in my bed!

No, this is my bed, why should I give it to you!

How can you sleep at your age!

Indignant, Zhou Qianyun got up and went to the bedside, intending to pull Lu Yu awake.

As soon as I reached out, I saw Lu Yu's adorable sleeping face, with relaxed eyebrows and a calm, scholarly air about him.

Memories of that afternoon from last time flooded my mind.

Zhou Qianyun felt her cheeks burning and hurriedly turned her head away.

"never mind."

She muttered something, casually picked up a cushion from the foot of the bed, tidied up the desk a little, and then, using the cushion as a pillow, lay down on the desk and closed her eyes.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Zhou Qianyun was groggily woken up.

"Go to bed."

A clear male voice came from behind, and then Zhou Qianyun felt herself being picked up and laid on the bed.

Unconsciously pulling the blanket up, she curled up in bed, feeling warm and cozy.

I fell into a deep sleep, as if I were having a very long dream.

In her dream, she and he were still children, huddled together on a bed, their foreheads touching.

The warmth of that person's body felt like it was embracing me right now.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Zhou Qianyun realized that she didn't know when she was lying in bed.

Startled, the girl, afraid she had done something wrong, jumped up and found Lu Yu sitting at his desk playing on his phone.

"You're awake? You can sleep so much, are you a pig?"

Lu Yu glanced over and teased.

"I didn't just now..."

'

Wasn't he sleeping on his desk?

"A fifteen-minute nap is enough for humans; my biological clock is very accurate."

Lu Yu gave an irrelevant answer.

"But pigs sleep for twenty hours a day."

"Get out of here!"

Zhou Qianyun gritted her teeth.

"Go to sleep if you want. My mom said they won't be back for a while, so she told me to prepare the food in advance."

Lu Yu put down his phone, got up, opened the door, and then turned back.

"Was the bed your brother Yu Zi slept in really comfortable?"

"Please close the door for me, thank you!"

Zhou Qianyun shouted.

Lu Yu chuckled, left the room, and closed the door behind him.

Zhou Qianyun stared blankly at the door, then slowly buried her face in the blanket, where she could smell a trace of his scent among the familiar fragrance.

The bed that Lu Yu slept in was indeed very comfortable.
