Chapter 85 Light a lamp for me
"Why did you come back suddenly?"

In the car, Hu Li, whose emotions seemed to have stabilized again, asked in a nasal voice.

"Do you want to hear lies or the truth?"

"……lie."

"The lie is, the reason I came back to pick you up was because it was hot and I was worried you wouldn't be able to get a taxi."

“…Like that time?”

"Ah."

"What about the truth?"

"The truth is... it's not just me. Sister Chu also noticed that you were suppressing yourself. We were both worried, so when we were leading the masters to Fortune Garden, we agreed that she would go and help you with the formalities and I would come back."

"…Am I very fragile?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie this time?"

"I want to hear what you have to say."

"This is not weakness, it's just your gentleness."

"..."

Hu Li stopped talking.

Leaning back in the seat, looking ahead.

In this way, they drove in silence all the way to Fortune Garden, and she saw Xu Ruochu in her house, who was arranging workers to unload the truck and arrange the furniture.

Seeing the two people walk in, Xu Ruochu subconsciously looked at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao nodded slightly.

Xu Ruochu understood immediately, so he asked in a normal tone:

"Is this arrangement okay?"

"Ah."

There weren't a lot of furniture to begin with, and when the entire house was originally designed, there was no very systematic area division.

Just like her old home, the furniture is against the wall and positioned reasonably...this is what she considers the most comfortable living environment.

Moreover, the air conditioner installer also came and was busy installing the outdoor unit on the balcony.

Soon, all the masters had finished moving.

Lu Yao handed over the water he bought, thanked him for his hard work, and paid the bill.

The masters took the money and left.

It was already past 1 o'clock.

"Shall we go eat?"

Hu Li said.

Naturally, the two of them had no objections.

At this time, Lu Yao saw the mess left by the air conditioner installers, so he said:

"Sister Li, do you need a cleaner?"

"No."

Unexpectedly, Hu Li refused firmly this time:

"It's my own home, I clean it myself, no cleaning required!"

Xu Ruochu's mouth twitched.

Because...she saw a strange look in Lu Yao's eyes.

She knew what the other person was thinking just by using her toes.

Suddenly I felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Fortunately, Lu Yao's eyes quickly returned to normal and he nodded:

"Then after dinner, let's go to the supermarket to buy some housekeeping supplies."

"Well, there's also a doghouse and stuff like that. This place is reserved for Xiaobu."

She pointed to a floor tile about 80 centimeters between the armrest of the sofa and the wall.

"it is good."

At this time, Xu Ruochu's phone rang.

"Hello... eh?"

"...Okay, I understand. I'll go back now."

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yao asked:
"Chujie, where are you going?"

"you……"

Xu Ruochu thought for a moment and said:
"You stay with her."

After saying that, he looked at Hu Li:

"There are guests at home, and my father is not here, so I have to go back."

"Okay. Then do you still want to eat?"

"Don't eat."

"Ok."

Following her agreement, the three of them went downstairs together.

Xu Ruochu drove away in the SLK, leaving the X6 to the two of them.

After Hu Li got in the car, he said:
“I have to buy a car.”

"Then... go to the 4S store?"

"No, I'll ask them to send one over... What car do you want to drive? How about the Bentley we had last time?"

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

I was afraid that my sister would get upset and save up one for herself.

He quickly shook his head and asked back:

"What kind of car does Sister Li like?"

"me……"

She tilted her head again:

"Emmm...MINI. It's a small car and easy to drive. I don't like driving normally, and we're going to drive this time. To be honest, it's too big and uncomfortable to drive."

"Then let's go with MINI."

"What about you? What kind of car do you like?"

Obviously, she had no intention of letting Lu Yao go.

But this time Lu Yao has learned some skills.

After seeing this sister's "desire to consume", he was afraid that she would respond by saying "I'm in a bad mood, let me vent".

He quickly said:

“I like trucks.”

"The Ford one?"

"No, a big truck, the kind my dad uses to transport goods."

"..."

This time it was Hu Li's turn to be speechless.

“How do you drive in the city?”

"No, I don't really care about small cars, but I really like big trucks. I've been driving short distances with my dad since I was a kid, and I'm always very happy."

“But you’re about to start school.”

"…Whose college student drives to school?"

"That's right... You should keep a low profile at school. It's not good to be too high-profile."

"What shall we eat?"

"Let's go to the mall."

She said no more and made a phone call.

In total, there are only a few sentences:
"Hey, I want a MINI."

"Color... pick a nice one. I'll take a look and send it to you later. Do you have it in stock?"

"Okay, I'll tell you later."

So, on the way to the supermarket, she was choosing the color of the car and asked Lu Yao to help her with reference.

Finally, she chose a car with a black roof and a cyan body.

It's called glass sea green.

Lu Yao thought she would choose red, but unexpectedly she chose this relatively conservative color.

But... you know what, this color isn't ugly.

But when she arrived at the mall, she couldn't walk on the underground floor.

Because the clerk at a nearby snack bar gave her a small piece of duck neck for trial.

Zhou Hei Ya from Hubei Province has been very popular in the past two years, and its sweet and spicy taste is really good.

Plus she was hungry, so she simply chose this hot dry noodles restaurant.

Hot dry noodles, duck neck, bean curd skin, and a bowl of sweet rice wine for each person. After eating, her lips pouted again and turned into the color of jelly.

She really likes spicy food.

But I really can’t eat spicy food.

After eating, the two went directly to the supermarket.

There are a lot of people in the supermarket right now.

While Lu Yao was picking up the cart, she wasn't paying attention and bumped into a couple who were walking towards the exit from the opposite side.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

She was the first to apologize.

The guy who was hit quickly said it was okay.

The three of them passed each other.

Hu Li rubbed his forehead.

Seeing this, Lu Yao suddenly said:
"Sister Li, come in."

"what?"

Hu Li was stunned, and when he saw Lu Yao pointing at the inside of the cart, he said with a smile:
"I'm not a kid."

"It doesn't matter, come on."

He held out his hand.

"…How do I sit like this? I can't get my legs in."

"I'm not asking you to sit in a baby seat, I'm asking you to sit directly in the car."

"Uh……"

Hu Li was stunned for a moment, but finally held Lu Yao's hand.

He lifted his legs, pushed hard, and sat down.

She was still a little uncomfortable, but Lu Yao suddenly started to speed up:
"Let's go!"

"what!!"

She screamed.

But a smile immediately appeared on his face:
"Go! Hahahaha..."

The supermarket was filled with laughter as sweet as silver bells.

At around 3 pm, when Lu Yao drove back to Fortune Garden, he saw two guys in suits standing in front of a MINI with a red flower on it at the basement door of Hu Li's apartment building.

Hu Li, who was also holding a bag, waved his hand:
"Don't want all this mess, take it away quickly. Where are the keys?"

The two people who were about to greet the main person when they saw him coming were made awkward by this speechless scene.

Lu Yao quickly said:

"Please help me with the paperwork. Do you need our signatures?"

He gave a way out.

One of them quickly took out the car documents.

"There are two places where you need to sign."

"it is good."

Hu Li quickly signed the documents, and the other buddy handed over the key respectfully.

"Thank you both for waiting for so long. Bye."

She took the key, opened the door of the unit and walked in.

Lu Yao nodded politely to the two of them:

"We have something urgent to do, so we'll go up first. Bye. Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing his words, Hu Li paused.

As he walked forward, he took out his cell phone.

When he entered the elevator, Lu Yao heard her voice:
"Hey, I received the car, and they even held a car handover ceremony for me. It was hot today, and I had to wait for quite a long time. These two people worked very hard, and I have a good impression of them."

"Well, just look at the reward. I'm hanging up now."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, she smiled at Lu Yao and said:

"Is this satisfactory?"

Lu Yao thought to himself, what does it have to do with me...

However, he still gave a thumbs up.

I thought that maybe because of her phone call, these two people could get at least a thousand yuan more in salary next month.

All the way to her house, Lu Yao bared his arms and bent his sleeves:

"let's start?"

"GOGOGO, you have one room, I have one room, let's compete!"

"..." Lu Yao rolled his eyes directly:
"Let's divide the work. I'll clean the windows, you sweep the dirt off the floor, then wipe the furniture, and I'll mop the floor."

"Then you just need to be careful. You don't even need to wipe the outside."

"It's okay. I have this magical window cleaning tool... If you insist on buying it, it's over 200 yuan. I want to see if this thing is just a waste of money."

"Hehe! Just wait and see!"

Inexplicably, Lu Yao found that she became more and more lovely.

So, the two people with clear division of labor began to clean up.

He concentrated on using this two-hundred-plus thing to clean the large floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, but Hu Li would often glance at him from time to time while sweeping the floor.

Then a smile will appear on your face.

He even hummed a song happily.

Hearing the noise, Lu Yao thought to himself that your face is like a dog's, it changes too quickly.

After humming for a while, Hu Li said:
"Play some music... Oh, yeah, let's go buy a home theater in the next couple of days, shall we?"

"it is good."

Lu Yao agreed casually, took out the mobile phone from his pocket and started playing music.

He remembered that Hu Li liked to listen to "Song of the Eagle" very much and this was the first song he chose.

After putting the phone aside, he listened to the melody she was humming on the phone and continued to clean the windows.

Not long after, suddenly, the song stopped and the phone rang.

Hu Li, who happened to be handing him water, took a look at the call and answered it directly, handing the phone to him.

Xu Ruochen's voice sounded inside:

"Hey."

"……you're awake?"

"Yeah, I just woke up...Brother Ruochen..."

"..."

Listening to the noise on the phone, Hu Li and Lu Yao, who were holding the phones, froze in expression.

The sound on the phone was soft.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s coquettish.

Lu Yao immediately broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that the young master would do something else, and quickly said:

"I'm helping Sister Li clean up here."

"……what?!"

The movements on Xu Ruochen's side became visibly flustered.

Then he quickly said:

"That's fine. I'll just tell you. I'm hanging up now."

Doodle.

The phone hangs up.

"..."

He was speechless, pursed his lips, and secretly glanced at the woman next to him.

But Hu Li's expression became meaningful:

"Oh~"

Lu Yao's scalp gradually began to feel numb.

"Lu Yao~"

"……Eh."

"Hey, Xiaolu-san."

"What...what..."

"Didn't you say this morning that it was just him and a few of his classmates?"

"I……"

Looking at Lu Yao's embarrassed expression, Hu Li sneered:
"Haha, no wonder you refused to take me with you last night... Tell me the truth, did you go home last night?"

"...Sister Li, the breakfast you ate was made by my mother herself!"

He was firm and resolute.

"Is Xiaochen upstairs with Xiaochu now?"

"He... is here."

He defends his teammates without hesitation.

But this time I'm not so confident.

But my mind was racing, thinking about how to make up for it.

"I never realized you're such a righteous person. Huh!"

Suddenly, she grabbed Lu Yao's ear.

but……

It doesn't hurt.

He just pinched it and pulled it gently, then let him go.

Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Xu, you owe me a meal.

Otherwise... you might die without a burial place.

……

It’s almost seven o’clock.

Lu Yao, who was sweating all over, breathed a sigh of relief again. Looking at the clean and bright house, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Let's cook?"

she asked.

But Lu Yao looked embarrassed:
"Are you sure? ... Sister, we have to choose an auspicious day to start cooking in a new home. This is called burning the bottom of the pot. And we also have to steam buns, which means prosperity... How about going out to eat?"

"I don't care about that. Life is for people to live. Don't you say that your cooking is delicious? Otherwise, why buy so many ingredients?"

"……All right."

Seeing that she was determined to do so, Lu Yao had no choice but to nod.

This afternoon's big shopping included pots, pans, and utensils.

You know what, although it will take at least a month or two for this house to smell just right, it does feel a bit like home now.

After taking out all the ingredients, he looked at the brand new kitchen, and after making sure that there were no problems with the gas stove and other items, he began to work.

While he was performing, Hu Li sat on the old sofa, drinking water and looking towards the kitchen.

The more I look at it, the more pleasing it becomes.

Moreover, listening to the clinking of pots and pans, she felt as if she were at a symphony concert called "home".

I feel so good.

Lu Yao was busy for a while and it was already past seven o'clock.

At this time, the sky gradually began to darken.

Seeing this, Lu Yao saw that Hu Li had not moved, so he urged:

"Sister Li, Xiaobu is still at Sister Chu's house."

"Oh yes."

Only then did she remember and quickly woke up from the melody. She took the room card handed to her by Lu Yao and walked out quickly.

After Lu Yao covered the pot of braised pork, he looked at the dim living room and turned on all the lights in the inner and outer rooms.

When building a new home, there is always some sense of ritual when roasting the bottom of the pot.

The lights are bright, and I hope the future will be prosperous.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Coming out of Xu Ruochu's apartment door, Hu Li found that it was almost dark.

After being locked up for a day, Xiaobu started to have fun again when he saw the lawn.

She originally wanted to let Xiaobu play, but her eyes subconsciously turned and looked in the direction of her home.

Suddenly I was stunned...

The lights in her house had been turned on at some point.

For a moment, she was in a trance.

Reminded me of my childhood again.

At that time... whenever I got home from school and walked into the community, I would always look back at home like this.

You can also see the lights on in your own home.

Sometimes I would even see my father or mother standing on the balcony looking over here. When they saw me with my schoolbag on my back, they would smile and wave, calling out to me:
"Lili, come on, the meal is ready."

Then I would quicken my pace and run towards the light that was left for me.

Thinking of this, she gradually woke up from her trance.

Shouted to the happy little Bu:

"Xiaobu, come on, let's go home. It's time to eat."

Hearing her shout, Xiaobu ran over happily.

Hu Li picked it up and walked quickly towards home.

Go all the way into the elevator and open the door.

When the door opens...

She suddenly got goosebumps.

A long-lost...homely smell hit me in the face.

Like a cannonball, it slammed into her heart unreasonably.

Let the memories and senses begin to boil and surge.

At this moment, Lu Yao, who heard the door opening, was wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand, and he poked his head out of the kitchen.

"I'm home……"

he laughed.

"are you hungry?"

He actually said this to Xiaobu.

After all, the newly bought dog food and food bowls are here.

But he doesn't know...

As Xiaobu whimpered anxiously after smelling the aroma of meat, Hu Li stared at him blankly...

These two sentences he said kept echoing in my ears.

Sounds so familiar.

So... familiar.

So much so that her originally happy mood suddenly changed.

After she put Xiaobu on the ground, her mouth formed a "W" shape again, and then...

She opened her arms towards Lu Yao.

Lu Yao was stunned, looking at the royal sister who was looking at him with a look of "wanting a hug" and a look of grievance on her face, and he was unable to react for a moment.

But still he was hugged.

It wasn't him hugging her, but she hugging him.

embrace.

Breathe.

He even felt... the other person's hot breath penetrated the apron and reached his chest.

At the same time... there was a sense of restlessness, which made him subconsciously distance himself a little...

then……

Hu Li hugged him for a long time.

Until Lu Yao reminded:

"Sister Li, the pot..."

"……Um."

Hu Li nodded, but did not let him go.
