Chapter 96 Passive Personality
"I don't know since... I just feel that I am the most comfortable when I am with you."
This was Hu Li's answer when faced with Lu Yao's fatal question of "When did you start liking me?"
She hugged Lu Yao tightly, huddled in his arms, and whispered:
"It's definitely not love at first sight anyway."
"That's just looking at sex."
"I hate you!"
Hearing this, she was a little unhappy, and started to act coquettishly as she cupped Lu Yao with her head.
"Ha~"
Feeling such a cute contrast, Lu Yao couldn't help laughing.
Hu Li, who was lying in his arms, continued:
"My mother told me that getting to know, fall in love, and get married is actually a process of going from friend to friend. In the beginning, we met as friends, cuddling and relying on each other, and the distance between our hearts gradually became closer. , and finally got together. At this time, we fell in love because we were friends. There will be no sense of strangeness. If they like each other, they will eventually get married. After marriage, the passion of love will gradually fade, but because of the previous friendship as a foundation, and as a close person who will accompany each other. Therefore, even if we are friends again, we are the best friends in the world.”
"...So that's it."
Lu Yao nodded, but didn't say much.
Because... he has begun to protect her emotions.
When it comes to her mother, it's easy to mention her father. She will be unhappy.
So, he naturally changed the topic:
"I'll leave by myself in a while, you don't have to see me off."
Hu Li hugged him tightly subconsciously.
But still nodded:
"Well, you have to take off your clothes later. These are to be placed at my home. I have almost packed the things here... Look."
She pointed in the dark in the direction of the mini bar.
Those trophies and medals are also gone.
"I've packed everything. I asked you to get the clothes just now... just as an excuse. I saw you angry in the elevator, and I felt sad."
"...The problem is that you didn't even talk to me in the car."
"I don't know what to say. I'm so embarrassed!...I...I took the initiative! I took the initiative to kiss you...I felt very regretful and scared in the car, just in case...you don't agree to it. , or think it’s a misunderstanding...I...what should I do?”
She hooked Lu Yao's neck and began to twist around.
To say it's coquettish, it's more like putting on a show of embarrassment.
"Ha~"
Lu Yao couldn't help laughing again.
"You're still laughing!"
Sister Yu, who was like a little girl in her arms, was a little embarrassed and suddenly sat up in a hugging position.
In the darkness, she said seriously:
"I like you, Lu Yao, do you like me?"
"Yeah, I like it."
Lu Yao answered simply.
There is no intention of going against one's will.
His impression of Sister Li was not bad to begin with.
It's just... I never had the idea of being boyfriend and girlfriend.
This is not because of other people, but because of himself.
According to Lu Qing's "later generations", his younger brother was purely a passive person.
As for how passive he is... Lu Yao actually doesn't know very well.
It's just that every time Lu Qing talks about this, he will be very sure.
After hearing this, Hu Li's eyes instantly glowed with brilliance.
She leaned into Lu Yao's arms again, held his face, and kissed him.
She doesn't want any oath of love.
His words are enough.
……
11 o'clock.
Suite entrance.
Lu Yao lifted the clothes on the ground for the third time, feeling the temperature coming from his back, and said:
"I really have to go. Whose assistant spends two or three hours in the boss's friend's room?"
"Woo~"
A voice of grievance came from behind.
"Okay, I'll finish my work tomorrow morning and come to help you move. Okay?"
"Woo~~~"
Holding her sweetheart in her arms, Hu Li pouted and rubbed Lu Yao's back hard:
"Don't... hold me for another five minutes, okay?"
"...No, I've been hugging you for twenty minutes."
Hearing this, Lu Yao was also a little helpless.
However...he still forced the door open.
The light from outside the door came in, and Hu Li immediately let go of her hands like a frightened rabbit.
Looking at him with a bit of unhappiness:
"I hate it! I..."
She lowered her voice:
"I don't want you to leave."
Lu Yaoxin said, "Why are you acting like a child?"
shrug:
"Okay, see you tomorrow, you go to bed early, you know?"
"..."
Hu Li's face was full of grievances, and his mouth had already formed a W shape.
But in the end, perhaps because of this beam of light, her reason prevailed.
Nod:
"Then...be careful when driving."
"If you don't want to drive, I'll just take a taxi. I'll leave the car for you."
"...Well, call me when you get home."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Lu Yao had already walked out of the door.
Hu Li felt even more aggrieved.
But in the end, I still didn’t send him off, I just stood in the shadow and waved my hands:
"Bye..."
"Yeah."
Lu Yao nodded:
"Bye."
With that said, he picked up his clothes and left.
Seeing her boyfriend disappearing at the door, she subconsciously wanted to chase him out.
But in the end... the raised leg still didn't move out.
Just silently closed the door.
Darkness enveloped me again, and that sense of security seemed to return.
Her originally aggrieved expression gradually turned into a sweet smile.
"Hehe."
……
Facts have proved that Hu Li was right.
People at Marriott do know her.
Because Lu Yao had just carried his clothes downstairs, the lobby manager who was patrolling ran over immediately when he saw this:
"Assistant Lu, long time no see."
"Uh..."
Lu Yao looked at this elder brother and thought to himself, where have we met?
But he still smiled and nodded:
"Hello."
"Let me help the road assistant... Are you carrying Miss Hu's luggage?"
"Well, yes."
"Give me the car keys, and I'll ask the doorman to bring the car over to the road assistant."
"No, I'll put these clothes in the car and leave. Please give Sister Li the keys later, or leave them on the bar. I'll tell her to pick them up tomorrow."
"Okay."
The lobby manager helped him share a plastic bag, and the two of them came to the MINI that was still parked on the reception desk.
Finally, after Lu Yao took the other party's business card, he politely said goodbye to him and walked towards the road.
I quickly got into a car and headed straight home.
in the car.
He sent a message to Hu Li, telling him that he was already in the car.
But she didn't reply.
Probably taking a shower or falling asleep.
Lu Yao didn't urge him, he just looked at the night scene outside the window and started to feel dazed.
At this moment...as the hormones gradually faded away, his mind calmed down.
It's a bit inexplicable...even a bit ridiculous.
In fact, he lived quite well in his previous life.
This is the truth.
Sichuan and Chongqing is a very leisurely city, and his monthly salary in the research institute at that time was almost 40,000 yuan, not counting transportation subsidies, meal subsidies, housing subsidies, year-end bonuses, etc. Welfare.
The institute's supporting facilities in Sichuan and Chongqing are also very good. He only spent a year and a half of his salary to own a high-end house of more than 130 square meters.
There are many beauties in Sichuan and Chongqing, and the young people in the institute are not just academics who only do research.
In addition, his foundation is here, he is a man with a successful career, a stable job, a house and a car.
Before he gained weight, he really had no shortage of so-called romantic encounters.
But the reason why none of the various girlfriends around me can get married is very simple. The biggest reason is because of work.
Although his work is not highly confidential,... in terms of rules and regulations, even married partners cannot easily inquire about it.
Sometimes, these girlfriends would take him to meet some of their friends, and when they talked about their work, Lu Yao would always shake his head and smile:
"Just working in the factory."
At the beginning, he would say something like "it's confidential, don't ask", but in the end he couldn't stand the growing curiosity of others as time went by, so he simply gave this excuse that seemed to have no future. .
And the friend who was used to prevaricate his girlfriend gradually became a friend who was used to prevaricate his next girlfriend.
When people ask, "Dear, what do you do for a living?"
Lu Yao's answer was "Be a technician in the factory."
At first, no one would be suspicious.
But the problem is that once the research reaches a critical juncture, he may disappear for five or six days. I can answer the phone, but I can't tell others where I am. He couldn't tell directly what he was doing, he could only talk about business trips, and after the popularity of WeChat, his girlfriend kept asking for video calls, etc., and he could only refuse...
Once or twice is okay, but over time, it will be difficult to build trust between partners.
Especially as time goes by and everyone's general trust in their partner begins to decrease.
What's more... After working hard in the institute for several days, he went home exhausted. He faced not only the accountability of his partner, but also the need to work hard and exert himself... No kidding, Lu Yao just wanted to go back. When I get home, I just want to sleep.
Don't even want to leave the house.
Who can bear the back and forth?
Therefore, the people around him changed one after another.
Not to mention, he is still the "passive type" in Lu Qing's words.
Be content with the status quo.
Changes are rarely noticeable.
Submerge yourself in your own world.
This is also the main reason why he told Xu Ruochu that he was difficult to deal with.
It's okay now, I just went to college and have nothing to do.
But once you start working...
It will only make things more difficult for you.
So, gradually, Lu Yao didn't even know how he had developed a habit.
Come, I welcome you.
You go, I'll do whatever I want.
Chip technology is under Moore's Law, and computing power will increase exponentially every year.
But his world is a reverse Moore's Law.
More and more peaceful.
Sometimes he would reflect on himself, but... to be honest, it was probably of no use. Once you get busy, the vows you once "swore" will be forgotten and completely forgotten.
He has no objection to Hu Li.
As for whether she likes it or not... I can only say that if she confesses her love, she will accept it.
They will also be kind to each other.
But in the future...
Inexplicably, he remembered Mr. Xu's words again.
He grinned silently.
Not to mention that you definitely shouldn't take this kind of thing as a home-based son-in-law... When Sister Li is past the period of passionate love, she won't be able to decide whether she can bear it or not.
never mind.
Don’t think about it anymore. "Ha...well."
He yawned.
At almost 12 o'clock, he got off the car at the gate of the community.
Finally received a reply from Hu Li:
"Baby, are you home yet? I just finished taking a shower."
When she sent this message, she glanced at the bathroom trash can.
There was a piece of underwear that he had just thrown away.
So shameful!
She also wrapped it in a lot of toilet paper, fearing that the cleaning staff would see it tomorrow.
Lu Yao replied quickly:
"Just arrived. Are you sleepy?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I'm not sleepy, I miss you...I want to hear your voice."
A few seconds after she sent the message, Lu Yao called.
"Hey...hehehe."
She smiled happily:
"Are you home yet?"
"Not yet, on the basketball court."
"...Huh? You haven't gone home yet?"
"Just arrived. I'll chat with you for a while and I'll go up."
"No, hurry up and lie down on the bed while we chat."
"...Are you not sleepy?"
"Are you sleepy?"
"A bit."
"Well... Then you go home and take a shower first... Forget it, you have a good rest. I'll go to bed early and get up early tomorrow. See you at home?"
"Okay."
"Hehehe...then kiss me."
"Isn't it childish?"
"Oh no, no, you kiss me...I'll kiss you first, bum bum bum..."
Inexplicably, Lu Yao, who was standing downstairs in the unit holding the phone, felt that she looked more like a child.
Finally, Hu Li hung up the phone reluctantly.
Lu Yao unscrewed the door.
Gotta...
The door is stuck again.
He wordlessly began to push and turn carefully for a while, and finally opened the door.
The living room was dark.
He tiptoed into the house, washed up in a hurry, lay on the bed and yawned.
Hu Li sent another text message:
"Baby, I miss you."
Lu Yao saw it.
But no reply.
He is sleepy.
……
It's about 7 o'clock on Saturday morning.
The powerful biological clock made Lu Yao wake up automatically, and the aroma of food had already drifted in from outside the bedroom.
"Morning, Mom."
"Well, do you want to bring food to Mr. Xu today?"
"...No need. She went home last night."
"Yeah, okay. I'll wash your clothes for you...son."
"Huh?"
Looking at Lu Yao who was a little confused, Ms. Chen thought for a while and said:
"You have to pay attention to personal hygiene when you go to school. Didn't mom bring you seven pairs of underwear? You change frequently...how do you wear such dirty underwear?"
"...???"
Lu Yao was stunned.
Where did the heart say this?
When it comes to personal hygiene, he has always been very...well.
Suddenly, he realized something and smiled awkwardly:
"I got it, Mom."
"Well, you come back early in the afternoon and we go to the new house to have a look. You haven't been there yet."
"...I can't come back in the afternoon, so I have to go to the flower market with Sister Li."
In the end, he didn't say that they were friends anymore.
No need.
"This...that's okay."
Ms. Chen didn’t think much and handed over a plate of food:
"Quick, call your dad and ask him to come back for dinner."
"What did he do?"
"I went to exercise downstairs."
Lu Yao nodded and dialed his father's phone number.
Soon, Lu Yuanshan came back with a bag of vegetables in his hand:
"Come back early at noon. Look at the beef today, it's very good..."
"I won't come back for lunch."
"Okay. Then come back early tonight and let your mother make you beef stew."
"Yeah."
……
At early 8 o'clock, Lu Yao hurriedly drove to Fortune Garden.
But when we arrived, it was already 9 o'clock.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw four cleaning staff standing at the door waiting. He quickly said politely and opened the door with the room card.
After not coming for a week... Xu Ruochu's home became visibly messy.
However, Lu Yao was already familiar with the road and naturally began to direct the four cleaners to start working, while he came to the cloakroom.
At this time, he noticed some small changes.
Xu Ruochu's clothes were missing.
He estimated that the assistant hired by the other party had also begun to take over these tasks.
After sitting on the stool where he was changing clothes, he sent a message to Xu Ruochu to explain the situation.
The other party didn't reply.
Apparently he didn't wake up.
It wasn’t until around 9:30 that Xu Ruochu replied:
"Morning. Are you already at my house?"
"Yes. Sister Chu, they are cleaning up, and I am watching them."
"Okay, I'll go over now."
After Xu Ruochu sent the message, changed a set of clothes, and opened the bedroom door to go out.
As soon as she went out, she saw the servant at home about to knock on the door. She asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Miss Ruochu, my wife is calling you to come downstairs."
"Uh..."
Xu Ruochu was a little puzzled, nodded and followed her.
Then I saw Xu Xiang and Xu Linlin jumping around in the living room.
"Sister!"
Xu Linlin, who was wearing an Arale hat on her head, immediately swooped over:
"Quick, quick, let's go?"
"?"
Xu Ruochu caught her sister with a trace of doubt on her face:
"Where to go?"
"Disney!"
"...Where?"
Xu Ruochu didn't react.
At this time, the beautiful woman carrying a box in her hand walked out of the elevator. After seeing Xu Ruochu, she smiled and said:
"Xiaochu, let's go? Let's go to Tokyo."
"...Huh?"
Xu Ruochu was even more confused:
"Going to Tokyo?"
"Yes, haven't you been fine these two days?"
The beautiful woman’s eyes are like crescent moons, full of smiles:
"Your dad is lazy every day and pushes his work to you. It's easy for you to have two days off this weekend. Shall we go to Tokyo? Go see the autumn and winter fashion show. Xiangxiang and Linlin are clamoring to go to Disneyland. We'll be back tomorrow night . Let's take a little vacation, and then..."
As she spoke, she made a gesture of holding the cup.
The meaning is self-evident.
"Uh...but I..."
"Sister, sister! Why don't you accompany us to Disneyland, okay..."
Seeing her hesitation, Linlin started to act coquettishly in her arms.
"You haven't been with me for a long time. You work outside every day...I miss you..."
The girl acted coquettishly, and the boy also came over:
"Sister, let's go. I called my second brother just now. He is sleeping and he won't go away no matter how hard I pull him... You can go with us."
"..."
Xu Ruochu was speechless.
At this time, the beautiful woman also came over and took her hand:
"Xiaochu~ Come with me, okay, please..."
With three people hanging on him, Xu Ruochu was shaken and staggered.
Every time he tried to open his mouth to speak, he would be interrupted by the girl's coquettishness.
In the end, thousands of words turned into a helpless voice with a bit of regret:
"Okay."
"Yeah!!!"
The boys and girls cheered.
"Let's go to Disneyland!"
"...Can't we go to Xiangjiang? Do we have to go to Tokyo?"
"No, Xiangjiang's is too small!"
"..."
……
"I have something going on today and I can't get through it."
After seeing this message, Lu Yao replied:
"It's okay, Sister Chu, you're busy. I'm watching them. They're almost done."
"...Okay."
"Well, I'll pack it up in a moment. I'll take a picture and send it to you as an MMS."
"Do you like drinking sake?"
?
Looking at the message Xu Ruochu sent, Lu Yao was a little puzzled.
After thinking for a while, he sent a message:
"Do you want me to buy two bottles of sake to keep at home?"
"No, it's okay, I'll just ask."
"Okay."
Inside a business car.
Xu Ruochu looked at this message and his fingers were a little stiff.
At this time...
"Who is it? Boyfriend?"
The beautiful woman looked curious.
Xu Ruochu instinctively put down the phone and shook his head:
"No, I'm an assistant."
"Oh."
The beautiful woman said no more words.
And she didn't reply again.
It’s the beginning of the month, brothers, please give me a monthly ticket! Thank you so much!
