Chapter 22 22

That being said, in fact, Lu Zhi is most worried about going to the Shen family during the Chinese New Year every year. Except for his grandma, everyone in the Shen family feels unattainable and difficult to get close to.It does for him.

It was only at this time that he realized that it was a lie that love could surpass everything, and love could not allow him to overcome his worries and fears about going to Shen's house for the New Year.

But this day will come sooner or later. In order not to be embarrassing in front of such a big family during the Chinese New Year, Lu Zhi practiced in front of the mirror every day at home, how to answer questions when asked, and controlled his expression. Compared with when he first started workingSeriously prepare for the interview.

On this day, when Shen Linchuan came from the study to the master bedroom, he noticed his behavior, and suddenly showed a puzzled expression. He asked, "Recently, you want to go out to find a job again?"

"No." Lu Zhi only glanced at him distractedly, then turned his head back, "I'm practicing answering the elders' questions during the Chinese New Year."

"Your parents?"

"It's your house," Lu Zhicheng said, "I'm worried every year when I go to your Shen's house to celebrate the New Year. When I can't answer something, it's really more embarrassing than being asked questions that the teacher can't understand when I was in school."

Shen Linchuan frowned. He walked over and briefly recalled the past years. He didn't notice Lu Zhi's embarrassment before because he couldn't find any useful memories for reference.

"Like? What questions did they ask you?"

Lu Zhi began to count on his fingers: "Auntie asked me why I didn't go to the same school as you, Uncle asked me if I made money in a small company like Zhou Guo, some cousins asked how we knew each other, and how did we know each other?"Once someone asked me what I think about the current global economic situation, and I managed to take a few days off during the Chinese New Year to refresh my mind, but in the end I was asked difficult questions.”

Lu Zhi's face wrinkled as he spoke, Shen Linchuan couldn't bear it, but he didn't want Lu Zhi to be prejudiced against his family, so he said: "They may not be asking these questions to deliberately make things difficult for you, and it doesn't matter if you can't answer them."What will happen, with me here, what are you afraid of?"

Lu Zhi couldn't help complaining: "But you didn't help me out before."

Shen Linchuan asked: "What am I usually doing at that time?"

Lu Zhi lowered his eyes and muttered softly: "Who knows, anyway, I'm not paying attention to me, so I don't know who I'm secretly thinking about."

Shen Linchuan paused: "Don't make trouble."

Lu Zhi let out a snort from his nostrils.

Shen Linchuan didn't explain much about his question of "who was thinking about", but gave Lu Zhi a shot in the arm, and said: "If you have any questions you don't want to answer this year, just wink at me and I will help youGet over it."

Lu Zhi asked, "How do you wink?"

Shen Linchuan said, "You try."

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and Shen Linchuan said hesitantly, "Did you wink?"

"I did it."

Shen Linchuan: "How did you do it? Do it again."

Lu Zhi winked at him.

"……that's all?"

Lu Zhi looked innocent: "Is this not possible? I feel like my eyes are going to twitch."

Shen Linchuan suppressed the corners of his lips that were about to be raised, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Maybe it's because your eyes are too small, I can't see clearly."

Lu Zhi instantly became dissatisfied: "My eyes are not small. Everyone has praised me for having big eyes since I was a child."

Shen Linchuan said in a nonchalant tone: "Really? Let me see."

Lu Zhi took the initiative to bring his face closer.

Shen Linchuan suddenly lowered his head, and a soft kiss fell on Lu Zhi's eyelid.

Lu Zhi's whole body was stunned, as if he had been electrocuted.Shen Linchuan was so incomprehensible in the past, why did he suddenly take this route now?

Lu Zhi raised his head and asked something Shen Linchuan didn't like to hear: "Did anything happen to you today?"

"What's the meaning?"

"I'm not used to you suddenly changing your usual style," Lu Zhi looked at him, and continued to explain, "In the past, you were always ignorant, and you didn't understand romance and couldn't say good things. Sometimes I racked my brains to throw awayIf you make a joke, you won't give me any reaction."

Shen Linchuan's face was slightly stiff, and he said with some doubts: "I used to be so bad?"

"You have." Speaking of this, Lu Zhi thought of a lot of things in the past, but there were too many, he only picked one and said, "When I first got married, I wore your shirt and purposely stood in front of your eyes.Dangling around, you didn't look at me all night, and when you finally saw me after you were busy, you asked me if I was short of clothes."

Shen Linchuan also remembered, no wonder every time Lu Zhi looked at him, he felt hesitant to speak, as if he was blaming him, but those thoughts in his heart were only expressed on his face, and he didn't say it out loud.

In the past few years in the business world, Shen Linchuan slowly developed a pair of insightful eyes, but he ignored this person in his family.

"Because..." Shen Linchuan subconsciously made the meaning of his words more tactful, "Maybe I didn't know you well enough at that time, and I couldn't guess your thoughts. It would be better if you just said it. If you don't say it, I won't say anything."Know."

"Oh." Lu Zhi responded.Thinking about it this way is also true. They didn't get married after they fell in love. He was still studying in Beijing two years ago, and the two of them didn't see each other a few times a year.Same, I couldn't find the right angle and posture for kissing.

It's all over now.

Lu Zhi felt relieved, and his expression also eased. He said generously, "I was not careful enough before, so I forgive you."

"Well," Shen Linchuan asked him, "Then don't you worry about going home for the New Year?"

It's good that Shen Linchuan didn't mention this, but when he mentioned it, Lu Zhi immediately felt a dull pain in his abdomen, which he used to love when he was nervous.

He snorted twice: "Don't remind me yet, just rush the ducks to the shelves when the time comes, and don't give me time to prepare."

"Still nervous?"

"Nervous." Lu Zhi felt apprehensive when he thought of Father Shen's calm and pretentious face.

Shen Linchuan came up with a serious idea: "Then what should we do? Why don't you tell your parents that you have trouble this year?"

"..." Lu Zhi stretched out a thumb, "You know the ways of the world."

Shen Linchuan pressed on his head.

Lu Zhi said: "I think I still have to rely on myself, I can't count on you."

Hearing this, Shen Linchuan was not happy, he put down his words and said: "This year will be fine, this year must be an exception, you believe me."

Lu Zhi was instantly dazed by Shen Linchuan's words, and gradually forgot about the panic he was about to greet.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Shen Linchuan drove him back to Shen's house.

It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, but when Lu Zhi looked to the side and met Shen Linchuan's firm gaze, he suddenly became more open-minded.

When grandma saw them coming in, she immediately waved to Lu Zhi with a smile.

"Grandma." Lu Zhi's appearance is very pleasing to the elders, and he has a bit of ability to deceive the older generation, so it is not difficult to win grandma.

Lu Zhi and Shen Linchuan looked at each other, and decided to sit next to grandma and talk to her.

Grandma looked at him and asked, "Why do you seem to have lost some weight? Is it because the food cooked by Linchuan is not delicious and can't make you fat?"

Lu Zhi smiled and explained: "Recently he took me to jog in the morning together. This may be the reason. If you haven't lost weight, it should be because your flesh has become firmer."

"It's good to exercise regularly. You young people are busy with work, and it's easy to damage your body," grandma said, "Especially if you are still a designer, you work in front of the computer every day. There are no other problems with your body, and your eyes can't get any better."question."

"Grandma is right," Lu Zhi looked taught, "I will exercise with him."

The grandma said with relief: "You are very sensible, unlike some people who are not willing to listen to what you say to him. Anyway, no one in this house listens to me, an old woman, so you can say a few words of caring to grandma."if."

When grandma said this, the volume was not low, Lu Zhi immediately felt a little embarrassed, because when grandma said this, several people looked over, it seemed that they could perfectly match the words.

Shen Linchuan came over in time, and took the initiative to answer the question: "Who is grandma talking about? Who made you angry again?"

Grandma raised her jaw.

Father Shen sat there, glanced to this side and then looked back.

Shen Linchuan said clearly: "Did you quarrel with my dad?"

"Oh, don't dare," said grandma, "I'm old and I can't earn a living. My son doesn't want to care about me when he grows up, so I have to live in spite of myself."

"Mom," Father Shen couldn't help interjecting, "When did I say I don't want to care about you anymore, don't tell them about me."

"What did you say this morning?" Grandma began to scold, "I just want to buy an infrared physiotherapy device, and you are trying to stop it..."

Lu Zhi rubbed his nose. Old people at this age would be like this. Young people know that they are being deceived, so they don't want the old people to be fooled. It's not a matter of money or not. The main reason is that it's useless to buy it.There are too many scammers in the society, and it is hard to earn money for anyone, so we can't get used to it.

But it's inconvenient for Lu Zhi to intervene in this matter. No matter how close grandma usually is to him, he is just an outsider to the Shen family.

With Father Shen's succession, when eating snacks, drinking tea and chatting, no one thought of asking about his situation, and they all tried to persuade grandma to calm down.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Lu Zhi's worried moment came.

The reason was that someone at the table asked about the recent work of the younger generation. This is an annual repertoire in the Shen family. When it was Lu Zhi's turn, he tried to speak as calmly as possible: "I resigned from the original company, and now I have opened a studio by myself..”

As soon as he said this, there was a silence on the table.

Where does an office worker who doesn't understand his economic conditions get the courage to start his own business.Seeing Lu Zhi's embarrassment, Shen Linchuan explained to everyone for him: "The previous company's overall level was not good, the management had loopholes, and it often failed to win over other companies. I asked him to resign. Lu Zhi's personal ability is completely competent for anyone.Atelier, he now takes a lot of orders, earns a lot of money, and has more free time, which is a good thing for him and me.”

When the people at the table heard this, their faces softened.

After Lu Zhi heard these words, it would be a lie not to be moved.He glanced at Shen Linchuan with a natural expression beside him, and secretly ticked his fingers under the table.

Shen Linchuan looked at him from the corner of his eye for half a second, and took his hand.
