Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 66 Xu Ruochen

The gift Lu Yao prepared for Xu Ruochu was a peace locket bought at the City God Temple.

It looks like jade, but considering its price of over 300 yuan, it is just agate at most.

After he came back from school in the afternoon, he made a special trip to buy it.

When he entered the City God Temple, he also burned incense.

In the past, he was a staunch atheist.

But after being reborn... I don’t dare anymore.

I wouldn't say I'm superstitious, but at least I have a sense of awe.

He lit a stick of incense, bought a peace locket, and gave the gift over before returning home.

The atmosphere in the family changed from nervousness before the scores came out to ecstasy before, and now has gradually calmed down.

In other words, a very peaceful mood.

At the dinner table, my parents started planning what they were going to buy.

For example, we wanted to buy Lu Yao a laptop, but Lu Yao chose to buy a desktop computer, after all, he had already enrolled in Fuhua, which was close to home, and the desktop computer was obviously better in terms of performance in all aspects.

For example, the family wants to go out for a trip.

But considering that Xu Ruochu gave "180,000", it is not easy to let the child take leave.

Both of them looked regretful.

As for the last part...it is the recent plan of the family.

Lu Yuanshan plans to go to Hon Hai Real Estate tomorrow to see how the procedure is handled. As long as he gets the entry documents, he will quickly deliver the car to the logistics company.

As for Chen Aihua...she's planning to go back to work.

I have taken a few days off because of my child's matter. Now it seems that everything is fine and life should return to normal.

Lu Qing also has his own things to do.

She has to apply for a passport and go through various formalities according to the study abroad process, but she can do all of this by herself.

As for Lu Yao...just work normally.

Now there is only one graduation banquet left. Lu Yuanshan means that after returning from the real estate company tomorrow, he will see when the company asks him to go to work. If it is on the first day of next month, then he will hurry up and hold it in the next few days. At the same time, he has to hurry back to his hometown in Henan Province.

The relatives there also knew that Lu Yao had done very well in the exam, so they had to go back and prepare a banquet.

He also asked Lu Yao to try to ask for a day or two off. As the top scholar, he would definitely go back and show up for this kind of thing.

Lu Yao didn't dare to guarantee anything, he could only say he would try his best.

In the end, what the family discussed was that everything depends on human efforts, so they should take it one step at a time.

Although there is still a week left until next month, the schedule is quite tight.

After the discussion, the couple went for a walk hand in hand.

After arranging their children's affairs, they obviously also have many plans of their own facing this new future.

Lu Qing returned to the room, opened the notebook and started looking through the formalities, while Lu Yao thought about it and went out again with the basketball in his arms.

I haven't exercised today.

At about 9 o'clock, Ms. Chen, who was walking back, saw her son on the court:

"Yaoyao, go home."

"coming."

After waving and saying hello to his neighbors, he followed his parents home, holding the basketball and sweating all over.

"When you go to work tomorrow, remember to invite your boss to our graduation banquet."

"…Well, I'll try my best. But if my boss doesn't come, there's nothing I can do."

"It's just a meal! They gave us such a valuable gift, we should be grateful."

Ms. Chen was very persistent.

Lu Yao responded.

After returning home, he took a shower and went to bed directly.

On the morning of the 26th, after finishing my breakfast with great energy, I walked out the door carrying the steamed dumplings made by my mother.

Ever since he started bringing breakfast to Xu Ruochu every day, the standard of breakfast food in Lao Lu's family has risen sharply.

Anyway, Lu Yao has never eaten steamed dumplings in the morning except on holidays since he was a child... and they were freshly made.

I don't know what time my mother got up.

But when he arrived at Xu Ruochu's house, he was stunned to see the peace locket box he had placed yesterday was still in its original place... He thought to himself, didn't the other party go home?

After thinking for a while, he rang the doorbell.

I pressed the button several times, but no one answered.

After hesitating for a moment, he swiped the door card and opened it directly, then moved all the washed clothes in large and small bags.

Then he glanced at the bedroom door.

Sure enough, the bedroom door was open.

It seemed that the other party really didn't come back.

Seeing this, Lu Yao walked out of the house directly, went downstairs, drove towards Tan Palace.

At this time, the traffic jam in Shanghai had already started at peak hours. There were a lot of cars, so he walked very slowly. When he arrived at the gate of Tan Palace, it was already 9:.

He dialed Xu Ruochu's phone number directly.

"Dudu... Hello."

"Boss Xu, are you in Tan Palace?"

"Well……"

Xu Ruochu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and said:

"Yes, I forgot to tell you, I'm here. Wait for me, I'll go back now."

"I'm at the gate of Tan Palace now. When I took your clothes to Fortune Garden this morning, I rang the doorbell. After making sure you were not there, I moved all the clothes into Fortune Garden and walked over here."

"You're at the door?...Okay, then just drive in. Do you remember where my house is?"

"remember."

"Well, just come over here."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yao drove the X6 without any hindrance and arrived at the villa area known as the No. luxury villa in Puxi.

You know what... the morning sunlight mixed with these landscape trees really creates a sense of tranquility in the midst of hustle and bustle.

It is no exaggeration to say that the forest is full of colors.

He followed his memory all the way to the gate of the manor, whose exact price he couldn't even imagine, but he didn't drive in. Instead, he parked on the side of the road and got out of the car.

Through the iron fence, he saw some children's toys and swings in the yard, as well as two Rolls-Royces, a Ferrari, and two nanny cars.

This front yard is almost as big as a basketball court.

As he was thinking, he saw a trash can on the roadside. After confirming that there was a small smoking window between two trash cans, he walked over and lit a cigarette.

As a result, after taking two puffs, I heard the sound of the door.

I turned my head subconsciously and saw Xu Ruochu and the friend who called her sister on the day of the funeral walking out together.

Both of them were dressed very formally. Xu Ruochu wore her signature black long skirt, a pure white pearl necklace, and a very dignified bun. She looked simple and elegant to the extreme.

But he is the most romantic person in the world.

The guy was wearing a suit...but if you could ignore his puffy eyes and slightly messy hair, the brother and sister were a perfect match.

Lu Yao threw the cigarette butt directly into the trash can, walked quickly to the car and opened the door.

And Xu Ruochu naturally saw him as well.

So he said:

"Lu Yao, open this today."

She said, pointing at the Rolls-Royce.

Xu Ruochen, who looked listless, also looked over.

But he squinted his eyes... because facing the sunlight was too painful for a person with swollen eyelids.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, then this car..."

"Please stop in."

"it is good."

Lu Yao nodded and got in the car.

Xu Ruochen rubbed the tears from his eyes and yawned...

"Ha... Um. Sister, why don't you go by yourself. I'm so sleepy..."

Xu Ruochu turned his head and glanced at him.

No words were spoken.

But Xu Ruochen seemed to have accepted his fate and sighed helplessly.

"Ugh……"

By the time Lu Yao parked the car and got out, Xu Ruochu had already taken out the keys to the Rolls-Royce from her bag.

After Lu Yao got out of the car, she handed over the keys and took the initiative to say:
"You should have met each other. He is my younger brother, Xu Ruochen. Ruochen, this is Lu Yao, my assistant, and the top scorer in the national college entrance examination this year. You will be alumni in the future, so learn more from him."

"...???"

"...?"

Not to mention Xu Ruochen, even Lu Yao had a hint of doubt on his face.

Xu Ruochen opened his bloodshot eyes and looked straight at Lu Yao:

"The top student in the country? ...You are the one who scored 720 points?"

"...Hello, Mr. Xu."

Lu Yao greeted politely.

Xu Ruochen nodded first, then looked at Xu Ruochu:

"Your assistant? You let the top scholar in the country be your assistant?"

At this moment, a smile appeared on Xu Ruochu's face.

Even a bit funny:

"Can't you?"

"..."

What responded to her was the speechless absurdity on Xu Ruochen's face.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Lu Yao:
"How old are you?"

"Boss Xu, I'm eighteen."

"…92?"

"Correct."

"What month?"

"October."

"Well, I'm older than you. I'm Zhengyue. You can just call me Brother Chen. Don't call me Mr. Xu. It sounds weird."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

Brother, you calculate the lunar calendar, right?

It’s also the first month of the lunar calendar for me.

And Xu Ruochu also looked over curiously:

"You were born in March? What day? Gregorian calendar?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu, March 1st of the Gregorian calendar."

"……what?"

The brother and sister were both surprised.

Xu Ruochen asked again:
"When were you born?"

"Uh... I don't know."

"…Then it's okay for you to call me brother. I was born at 2 a.m."

Lu Yao asked subconsciously:

"March 1st too?"

"Yes, we have the same birthday."

Xu Ruochen waved his hand again after he finished speaking:

"You can call me Brother Xiaochen. I must have been born earlier than you." "Okay, Brother Xiaochen."

Lu Yao didn't have any psychological burden.

The boss’s brother, you can call him whatever you want.

But…it was also the first time he met someone who was born on the same day of the same month of the same year.

You know what, this feels really weird.

"Ah."

Xu Ruochen nodded, looked at his sister again, and said;
"Get in the car. Can this car drive?"

“First time opening.”

"Hand-held, can you open it?"

"meeting."

"Then I'll sit in the passenger seat and help you keep an eye on things. This car has a great field of vision. It'll take some getting used to for the first time you drive it... um~"

Lu Yao thought that this person was quite considerate.

After nodding, Xu Ruochu didn't even ask him to open the car door and walked straight to the back.

Seeing this, Lu Yao also got in the car.

This was really his first time driving a Rolls-Royce.

Not to mention how luxurious this car is, I have to say that he was a little nervous.

Because…only after getting on the bus did I realize how long it was.

And just as Xu Ruochen said, its central control field of view is indeed much higher than that of ordinary cars.

"Just focus on this contour line. This line is the front face. There's nothing else to look at... um... hm?"

After Xu Ruochen finished speaking to Lu Yao, his nose suddenly twitched.

He glanced at Lu Yao subconsciously.

But he didn't say much, just put down the chair.

"Sister, I'm going to take a nap. Call me when you get there."

"it is good."

After Xu Ruochu agreed, he said to Lu Yao:
"Do you remember the private restaurant we ate at last time?"

“Which Cantonese restaurant is that on the Bund?”

"Yes. Go there."

"Ok."

Lu Yao nodded and drove out slowly.

The Rolls-Royce slowly drove out of the community. At first, the car was very silent.

Xu Ruochen was sleeping and Lu Yao was getting used to this Rolls-Royce.

However, after driving along with the traffic for a while, he gradually got used to the car.

Apart from being longer, there's nothing else to it.

At this time, Xu Ruochu behind said:
"Have you made an appointment with Wang Tao this afternoon?"

"Not yet. Do you want me to make a date?"

"Well, I have nothing to do after lunch. I have to do some body management in the afternoon, so you can arrange the time accordingly."

"Are you going to the beauty salon?"

"Correct."

"Okay, then I'll put the meeting place nearby. Is that okay with you?"

"Ah."

After the two of them finished talking, Xu Ruochen on the side yawned again and adjusted his chair from a lying position to a sitting position.

Apparently, he couldn't sleep either.

Listening to the conversation between the two, he turned his head and looked at Lu Yao:

"How did you get 720 points? ... You got full marks in math and comprehensive science, right? I saw that on the news."

"……Yes."

"How long did it take you to solve the last math problem?"

"Well……"

Lu Yao thought for a moment and said:

"I don't really remember."

Actually he remembered.

That question is quite simple... you can figure it out at a glance.

It's nothing more than the equation of an ellipse.

"Tsk."

Xu Ruochen smacked his lips, and suddenly his nose moved again.

"Sister, do you smell it?"

"what?"

"...I don't know, it smells nice. Just like...someone's family is cooking."

“…Brother Xiaochen, it might be the lunch box I brought.”

As Lu Yao spoke, he took out the milk tea paper bag from the door storage compartment at his seat.

"Inside are the steamed dumplings my mom made."

"...Sister, you don't provide meals? Are you abusing child labor?"

"..."

Xu Ruochu's mouth twitched.

But Xu Ruochen had already taken the milk tea bag, looked at it and asked:

"What stuffing?"

"Courgette and eggs."

"Can I eat it?"

"Sure, I brought it for Mr. Xu."

Before Lu Yao finished speaking, Xu Ruochen was speechless and turned to look at his sister:
"Is this what you told our dad about starting to cook?"

"..."

For some reason, the female president's expression became uncomfortable.

"What's in this thermos?"

"My mother made soy milk."

"Is this for my sister too?"

"Uh...I drank it myself."

Lu Yao thought to herself that she should help cover it up, but after Xu Ruochen heard it, he looked at her with a look of disdain, as if to say, "Do you think I'm mentally retarded?" and asked:

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Ate."

"Why do you want to drink soy milk after you've had breakfast? You're fooling me."

"Uh……"

Having his thoughts exposed, Lu Yao didn't know what to say.

Instead, it was Xu Ruochu who spoke:
"If you want to eat, just eat. Stop talking nonsense."

"hey-hey."

Xu Ruochen chuckled and opened the lid of the lunch box.

He smelled it first, then smiled and said:

"It smells delicious, I'll eat it then... Sister, do you want to eat it?"

"..."

Xu Ruchu said that it was originally mine.

But seeing her brother picking up one and stuffing it directly into his mouth, she still shook her head:

"You eat it, just give me the soy milk."

"Look at me, you've been late more than once."

With a steamed dumpling stuffed in his mouth, his speech was a little slurred.

At the same time, he handed over the thermos cup and lunch box:

"It's delicious, sis, and the cucumber won't taste good in the morning after eating it. It won't affect you for a while."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Yao thought to himself, don’t you two have a housekeeper at home?

How come I can’t even afford a meal?
But...Xu Ruochu finally made a steamed dumpling.

Soon, the car was filled with the aroma of steamed dumplings.

Xu Ruochen directly opened the passenger window.

So, the guy in a private car next to him stared in amazement at the handsome guy sitting in the passenger seat of the Rolls-Royce stuffing one in his mouth, showing off like a crazy fan...

Soon, the whole box of steamed dumplings was sold out.

One of the siblings used the thermos cup's lid as a cup, while the other took the cup and started sharing the soy milk.

After Xu Ruochen had eaten and drunk his fill, he found a wet wipe to wipe his hands, then leaned back in his seat again.

"Huh... I'm alive. You know what, I drank too much the night before, so it's really refreshing to drink some soy milk this morning."

As he spoke, he seemed to be still savoring the memory.

But he glanced at Lu Yao who was driving, as if looking for something.

"Don't drink so much next time."

"I can't help it. I was late yesterday. You know Xu Wei's character..."

The two began to chat about some family matters.

As for Lu Yao, he ignored it and concentrated on driving.

At about ten o'clock, we finally arrived at the Bund.

There are many Western-style houses on the Bund, but most people in Shanghai actually have no idea what these buildings look like.

The same is true for Lu Yao.

After arriving at the Cantonese restaurant, Xu Ruochen gave Lu Yao some instructions and asked him to come to an unsigned Western-style building not far from the restaurant.

"Sister, get out of the car first. I'll take him to the parking lot."

"it is good."

As Lu Yao parked the car, Xu Ruochu got out by himself.

Then, Xu Ruochen guided him to a parking space. After parking the car, he stretched out his hand to Lu Yao:

"Hurry up, have a cigarette."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

Seeing that he didn't move, Xu Ruochen urged:
"Don't pretend, I smelled it when I got in the car, hurry up..."

Lu Yao thought that he looked just like the student who secretly smoked in the toilet without telling the teacher during school.

So he took out his Liqun from his pocket.

"Wow, Liqun? This smoke is really strong."

He took it, lit it skillfully, and a puff of smoke came out.

"Huh... a cigarette after dinner makes me feel like a god. But I'm dying of suffocation."

With a look of satisfaction on his face, he turned his head and looked at Lu Yao:

"Are you interested? If you're interested, come up with me and take a look?"

Hearing this, Lu Yao asked:
"What are you looking at?"

After he finished speaking, he saw Xu Ruochen's face full of disgust:
"Watching a bunch of unsophisticated people performing for a psychopath they don't understand at all and pretending to understand."

"...?"
