Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 96 Passive Personality

"Since... I don't know. I just feel most comfortable when I'm with you."

This was Hu Li's answer when faced with Lu Yao's fatal question, "When did you start to like me?"

She hugged Lu Yao tightly, curled up in his arms, and whispered:

"It's definitely not love at first sight."

"That's lust."

"I hate you!"

Hearing this, she became a little unhappy and started to act coquettishly by nudging Lu Yao with her head.

"Ha~"

Feeling such a cute contrast, Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hu Li, who was lying in his arms, continued:
"My mother told me that meeting, falling in love, and getting married is actually a process from being friends to being friends again. At the beginning, we met as friends, leaned on each other, relied on each other, and the distance between our hearts gradually narrowed, and finally we came together. At this time, we fell in love. Because we are friends, we are very familiar with each other and there is no sense of strangeness. And we like each other, so it is natural for us to enter the marriage hall in the end. After marriage, the passion of love will gradually subside, but because of the previous friendship as a prelude, plus the confidants who accompany each other. So, even if we become 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.

Mentioning her mother will easily bring up her father, and she will be unhappy.

So, he naturally changed the subject:
"I will walk by myself later, you don't have to see me off."

Hu Li subconsciously hugged him tightly.

But he still nodded:

"Well, you have to take your clothes down later. These are for my own place. I have almost packed up the things here... Look."

She pointed in the dark in the direction of the mini bar.

Those trophies and medals are gone too.

"I've packed everything. Asking you to get your clothes just now was just an excuse. I was sad to see you angry in the elevator."

"…The problem is you didn't talk to me in the car either."

"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 really regretful in the car, and I was really scared. What if... you don't agree to me, or think it's a misunderstanding... What should I do!"

She hooked her arms around Lu Yao's neck and began to twist it around.

It’s not so much acting like a spoiled child, but more like being embarrassed and showing off.

"Ha~"

Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

"dare you laugh!"

The royal sister, who was like a little girl in his arms, felt a little shy and annoyed, and suddenly sat up in a hugging position.

In the darkness, she said seriously:

"I like you, Lu Yao, do you like me?"

"Yes, I like it."

Lu Yao answered very straightforwardly.

I don't mean to do that at all.

He had never had a bad impression of Sister Li.

It’s just… I’ve never thought of being boyfriend or girlfriend.

This is not because of other people, but because of himself.

According to Lu Qing's "later generations", his younger brother was a person with a passive personality.

As for how passive he was... Lu Yao was actually not very clear.

But every time Lu Qing talked about this, he would be quite certain.

After hearing this, Hu Li's eyes instantly lit up.

She leaned into Lu Yao's arms again, held his face and kissed him.

She doesn't want any vows of eternal love.

Just his words are enough.

……

11 points.

Suite entrance.

Lu Yao picked up the clothes on the ground for the third time, feeling the warmth coming from his back, and said:
"I really have to go. What assistant stays in the boss's friend's room for two or three hours?"

"Woo~"

A voice of grievance came from behind.

"Okay, I'll come help you move tomorrow morning after I finish my work. Okay?"

"Woo~~~"

Hu Li pouted while holding her beloved, rubbing Lu Yao's back:
"No... Can you hold me for another five minutes?"

"…Oh no, I've been holding you for twenty minutes."

Hearing this, Lu Yao felt a little helpless.

But... he still forced the door open.

The light from outside the door came in, and Hu Li immediately let go like a frightened rabbit.

Looking at him with some unhappiness:
"Hate it! I..."

She lowered her voice:

"I don't want you to leave."

Lu Yao thought to himself, why are you acting like a child?

Shrug:

"Okay, see you tomorrow. You should get some rest early, okay?"

"..."

Hu Li's face was full of grievance, and his mouth was pouted into a W shape.

But in the end, perhaps because of this beam of light, her reason prevailed.

Nod:
"Then... drive carefully."

"I won't drive. I'll just take a taxi. I'll leave the car for you."

"…Well, call me when you get home."

"it is good."

Hearing this, Lu Yao had already walked out the door.

Hu Li felt even more aggrieved.

But in the end, she didn't send him off. She just stood in the shadows and waved her hands:
"Bye-Bye……"

"Ah."

Lu Yao nodded:
"Bye-Bye."

Having said that, he picked up his clothes and left.

Looking at her boyfriend disappearing at the door, she subconsciously wanted to chase him.

But in the end...the raised leg still didn't take a step forward.

Just closed the door silently.

Darkness enveloped us once again, and that sense of security seemed to return.

Her originally aggrieved expression gradually turned into a sweet smile.

"whee."

……

As it turned out, what Hu Li said was right.

The people at Marriott did know her.

Because Lu Yao had just come downstairs with his clothes, the lobby manager on patrol immediately ran over when he saw this:

"Assistant Lu, long time no see."

"Uh……"

Lu Yao looked at this elder brother and wondered where have we met before?

But he still smiled and nodded:
"Hello."

"Let me help Assistant Lu...Is this for Ms. Hu's luggage?"

"Yep."

"Give me the car keys. I'll ask the doorman to ask Assistant Lu to drive the car over."

"No, I'll just put the clothes in the car and leave. Can you please give Sister Li the keys later, or leave them on the bar counter? I'll tell her to pick them up herself tomorrow."

"Ok."

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, Lu Yao took the other party's business card, said goodbye to him politely, and walked towards the street.

I quickly got a taxi 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.

He must be taking a shower or sleeping.

Lu Yao did not urge him, but just stared at the night view outside the window in a daze.

At this moment… As the hormones gradually faded, his mind calmed down.

It's a little confusing...even a little ridiculous.

In fact, he lived a pretty good life in his previous life.

This is the truth.

Sichuan and Chongqing are relatively leisurely cities, and his monthly salary at the research institute was nearly 40,000 yuan, not including a series of benefits such as transportation subsidies, meal subsidies, housing subsidies, and year-end bonuses.

The institute's supporting facilities in Sichuan and Chongqing are also very good. He only spent one and a half years' salary to own a high-end house of more than 130 square meters.

There are many beautiful women in Sichuan and Chongqing, and the young people in the institute are not just old pedants who only know how to do research.

Plus he has a good background, a successful career, a stable job, a house and a car.

Before he gained weight, he had no shortage of so-called romantic encounters.

But the reason why none of these girlfriends around him could get married is very simple. The biggest reason is work.

Although his work is not highly confidential, but... according to the rules and regulations, even a married couple 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 laugh:

“It’s just working in a factory.”

At first, he would say something like "Keep it a secret, don't ask anymore", but in the end, he couldn't stand the growing curiosity of others and simply gave this seemingly hopeless excuse.

And it gradually changed from being used to fool around with his girlfriend's friends to being used to fool around with the next girlfriend.

When people ask, "What do you do for a living, dear?"

Lu Yao’s answer was “Working as a technician in a factory.”

At first, no one would be suspicious.

But the problem is that once the research is at a critical juncture, he may disappear for five or six days. He can answer the phone, but he can't tell others where he is. He can't tell them what he is doing, he can only say he is on a business trip. And with the popularity of WeChat, his girlfriend often asks for a video call, and he can only refuse...

It's okay once or twice, but over time, it becomes difficult to build trust between partners.

Especially as time goes by, people's general trust in their partners begins to decline.

What's more... after working hard in the institute for several days in a row, he returned home exhausted. Not only did he have to face the accountability of his partner, but he also had to work hard and exert his strength... Seriously, as soon as Lu Yao got home, all he wanted to do was sleep.

I don't even want to go out.

Who can stand it after all this?
So, the people around him changed one after another.

Not to mention, he is what Lu Qing calls a "passive type".

Be content with the status quo.

Changes are rarely noticed.

Immersed in my 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’ve just entered college and have nothing to do.

But once it starts working...

It will only make things more difficult for you.

So, gradually, Lu Yao himself didn't even know how he had developed a habit.

I welcome you to come.

You go, I'm fine.

Under Moore's Law, chip technology's computing power will double every year.

But his world is a reverse Moore's Law.

Getting calmer.

Sometimes he would reflect on himself, but... to be honest, it was usually useless. Once he got busy, the "vow" he had made was completely forgotten.

He has no aversion to Hu Li.

As for whether or not she likes her... I can only say that if she confesses, I will accept it.

Will also be nice to each other.

But in the future...

For some reason, he remembered Master Xu's words again.

He grinned silently.

Not to mention that a live-in son-in-law definitely can’t be such a person…after Sister Li is over the honeymoon period, it’s hard to say whether she can accept it.

Forget it.

Don't think about it. "Ha... um."

He yawned.

It was almost 12 o'clock when he got off the bus at the gate of the community.

Finally received a reply from Hu Li:

"Baby, are you home yet? I just finished taking a shower."

As she sent this message, she glanced at the trash can in the bathroom.

There was a piece of underwear in there that I had just thrown away.

So shameful!

She also wrapped it with a lot of toilet paper, fearing that it would be seen by the cleaning lady tomorrow.

Lu Yao responded quickly:
"Just arrived. Are you sleepy?"

"I'm not sleepy. I miss you...I want to hear your voice."

Just a few seconds after she sent the message, Lu Yao called.

"Hey... hehe."

She smiled:

"Have you reached home yet?"

"Not yet. I'm on the basketball court."

"...Ah? You haven't gone home yet?"

"Just arrived. I'll chat with you for a while before I go upstairs."

"No, hurry up and lie down in bed so we can talk."

"...Aren't you sleepy?"

"you are tired?"

"Kind of."

"Well...then you go home and take a shower first...never mind, you should have a good rest. I'll go to bed early and get up early tomorrow. See you at home?"

"it is good."

"Hehehe... then kiss me."

"Isn't it childish?"

"Oh, I don't want to, you kiss me... I'll kiss you first, bo bo bo..."

For some reason, Lu Yao, who was standing downstairs of the apartment building holding the phone, felt that she was more like a child.

Finally, Hu Li hung up the phone reluctantly.

Lu Yao turned the door.

have to……

The door is stuck again.

He wordlessly began to poke and turn the door carefully for a while, and finally opened it.

The living room was dark.

He tiptoed into the house, washed up quickly, 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 was around 7am on Saturday.

Lu Yao woke up automatically due to his powerful biological clock, and the aroma of food wafted in from outside the bedroom.

"Mom, morning."

"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."

"what?"

Looking at the somewhat confused Lu Yao, Ms. Chen thought for a moment and said:
"You have to pay attention to your personal hygiene when you go to school. Didn't mom bring you seven pairs of underwear? You should change them frequently... How do you wear such dirty underwear?"

"...???"

Lu Yao was stunned.

I thought to myself, where did this come from?

When it comes to personal hygiene, he's always been very... uh.

Suddenly, he realized something and smiled awkwardly:
"I got it, Mom."

"Well, come back early this afternoon and we'll go take a look at the new house. You haven't been there yet."

"...I can't come back this afternoon. I have to go to the flower market with Sister Li."

In the end, he didn't say that they were dating.

No need.

"This...that's okay."

Ms. Chen didn't think much about it and handed over a plate of food:

"Hurry, call your dad and ask him to come back for dinner."

"What did he do?"

"I went downstairs to exercise."

Lu Yao nodded and called his father.

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 especially good..."

"I won't be back for lunch."

"Okay. Come back early in the evening and let your mother make you some beef stew."

"Ah."

……

A little after 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 there waiting. He quickly said something polite and opened the door with the room card.

After not coming for a week...Xu Ruochu's house has become visibly messy.

However, Lu Yao was already familiar with the place, and naturally began to direct the four cleaners to start working, while he himself went to the cloakroom.

At this time, he noticed some small changes.

Xu Ruochu had fewer clothes.

He guessed that the assistant hired by the other party had also started to take over these tasks.

Sitting on the stool for changing clothes, he sent a message to Xu Ruochu to inform him of the situation.

The other party didn't reply.

Obviously he's not awake yet.

It was not until 9: that Xu Ruochu replied:

"Morning. Are you already at my house?"

"Yes. Chujie, they are cleaning up now. I am watching them."

"Okay, I'll go over now."

After sending the message, Xu Ruochu changed his clothes, opened the bedroom door and was about to go out.

As soon as she went out, she saw the servant knocking on the door. She asked:
"what happened?"

"Miss Ruchu, the madam is asking 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.

"elder sister!"

Xu Linlin, who was wearing an Arale hat on her head, immediately flew over:
"Hurry up, let's go?"

"?"

Xu Ruochu caught his sister, a trace of doubt appeared on his face:
"Where?"

"Disney!"

"……where?"

Xu Ruochu was a little slow to react.

At this time, a beautiful woman carrying a box came out of the elevator. After seeing Xu Ruochu, she smiled and said:
"Xiaochu, let's go? Let's go to Tokyo."

"……what?"

Xu Ruochu was even more confused:

"To Tokyo?"

"Yes, you have nothing to do these two days, right?"

The beautiful woman's eyes were like crescent moons, full of smiles:

"Your dad is lazy every day and pushes the work to you. You finally get two days off this weekend. Let's go to Tokyo? Let's go to the autumn and winter fashion show. Xiangxiang and Linlin are clamoring to go to Disney. We will be back tomorrow night. Let's take a short vacation, and then..."

As she spoke, she made a gesture of holding a cup.

The meaning is self-evident.

"Uh...but I..."

"Sister, sister! Can you accompany us to Disneyland, please..."

Seeing her hesitation, Linlin in her arms began to act coquettishly.

"You haven't been with me for a long time. You've been working outside every day... I miss you so much..."

The girl acted coquettishly, and the boy came over:

"Sister, let's go. I just called my second brother, but he was sleeping and he wouldn't go no matter how hard I tried... Please come with us."

"..."

Xu Ruochu was speechless.

At this time, the beautiful woman also came over and took her hand:
"Xiaochu, please go with me, please, please..."

With three people hanging on his body, Xu Ruochu was shaken all over the place.

Every time he tried to open his mouth to speak, he would be interrupted by the girl's coquettishness.

Finally, all the words turned into a helpless voice with a bit of regret:
"Ok."

"yeah!!!"

The boys and girls cheered.

"Let's go to Disneyland!"

"...Can't we go to Hong Kong? Do we have to go to Tokyo?"

"No, the one in Hong Kong is too small!"

"..."

……

"I have something to do today, so I can't come over."

Seeing this message, Lu Yao replied:

"It's okay, Chu Jie, you go ahead and do your work. I'm watching them, and they're almost done."

"……it is good."

"Well, I'll send you a MMS when I'm done packing."

"Do you like sake?"

?

Looking at the message sent by Xu Ruochu, Lu Yao was a little puzzled.

After thinking about it, I sent a message:

"Do you want me to buy two bottles of sake to keep at home?"

"No, it's okay, I'm just asking."

"Ok."

Inside a business car.

Xu Ruochu's fingers became a little stiff as he looked at the message.

At this time...

"Who? Boyfriend?"

The beautiful woman looked curious.

Xu Ruochu instinctively put down the phone and shook his head:

"No, my assistant."

"Oh."

The beautiful woman said no more.

And she didn't reply again.

　It's the beginning of the month, brothers, please give me some monthly tickets! Thank you very much!
