Chapter 51 The Roar of Bones

Chapter 51 The Roar of Bones

Mrs. Xiang had already prepared dinner and lit the fireplace, waiting for the two of them for a long time.

When she saw Shang Nan coming in behind Lu Ji, she tilted her head and looked at Shang Nan, "Oh my god, why is your face so red? Is it an allergy?"

There was still a light fragrance of tea in Shang Nan's mouth, and his cheeks were numb from being pinched by Lu Ji. He tried hard to rub his face with his hands and slowly regained control of his muscles.

He put his hands in his pockets and said with a serious expression, "My dear, Lu Ji."

Mrs. Xiang actually didn't show any shock at all. She asked, "Did he suck on your face?"

"...That's not true." Shannan forgot that Mrs. Xiang was also a person with zero love experience. She spent all her time surrounding Lu Shen.

During dinner time, Mrs. Xiang was very curious about the development between the two, but she did not dare to offend Lu Ji, so she could only offend Shan Nan.

"Let's talk, let's talk," Mrs. Xiang unconsciously put a third piece of bread on Shang Nan's plate, "Do you need me to customize wedding clothes in a few days? Well, which one do you like? It's Western style.It’s still Chinese style, there are several Chinese styles, from those more than 600 years ago to the present, I know them all.”

Shang Nan felt that Mrs. Xiang now was probably Lu Xiang at that time.

Because of Mrs. Xiang, this dinner was extremely lively. In the end, even Lu Ji couldn't listen anymore, patted Shang Nan on the shoulder, and fled to the study.

The next day, there were snow particles floating in the sky. They would make a sound when they fell on the ground, and they would also crackle when they hit the eaves. You just need to listen carefully.

Shang Nan shoveled half of the yard's snow particles and shaped it into a ten centimeter-high snowman for Lu Ji to see.

Mei Mei didn't know what she was busy with these days. She went to the town several times.

Lu Xiang was rushing to make Shang Nan and Lu Ji's wedding clothes. Every day she could be heard arguing with the designers at the factory. She had very high requirements for the fabrics. Shang Nan felt that she was a little too anxious. He andIt's still early for Lu Ji to get married, at least Lu Ji didn't mention it at all.

When the snow particles falling from the sky turned into goose feather-like snowflakes, Lu Zhai, which had not had guests for a long time, welcomed his guests.

That day was the weekend, and Shannan was sleeping in. The windows were closed and the curtains were drawn. He only heard very faint voices. There were quite a few people, and it took a long time for him to quiet down.

[14: He seems to be someone who knows you.]

It's just that Shannan was too deep in sleep and didn't hear it.

Snow had been falling all day and night before, and Luzhai became a vast expanse of white. Apart from the lonely white, there was no other color. The messy footprints left by a group of people in the morning were quickly covered.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Shan Nan woke up. After washing and changing his clothes, he went downstairs and wanted to eat, but the large living room was quiet, and the firewood in the fireplace was the remnant of half-burned firewood last night - a bit strange.

He stood in the living room and looked outside the yard. It was already covered in snow. There was no such heavy snow last year.

Lu Ji was wearing a coat and walked from the white corridor nearby. His expression looked colder than the snow around him.

Shannan opened the door, "Have you gone to the main house?"

Lu Ji came in covered in wind and snow, and his gentle features were even sharper today. In his eyes, he seemed to be able to feel the wind and snow. The snow on his shoulders began to melt when it touched the heater in the room. He took off his gloves,Touching Shan Nan's face, he leaned down and kissed his forehead, "Are you hungry?"

"It's okay, just a little bit," Shang Nan looked at Lu Ji's face and eyes, and felt something was wrong. He subconsciously looked behind Lu Ji, "What's wrong?"

Shan Nan stared at Lu Ji for a while, "What's wrong?"

Lu Ji held Shang Nan's wrist and pressed it down, "I'll take you to meet a few people."

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud noise outside the yard. Because of the cold weather, several dogs' houses were moved to their indoor rooms, so they came very suddenly without any warning.

Lu Ji, who was standing in front of him, was pushed away. Before Shannan could see the person clearly, he was hugged tightly. He was completely confused, but what echoed in his ears was the woman's howling..

"I finally found you, I finally found you..." The woman's painful cry resounded in the room, making Shan Nan's eardrums hurt. She cried for a long time, and then she slowed down when she found that the person in her arms was unresponsive.Slowly letting go of her hand, her face was covered with tears, flowing down from her wrinkles. She grabbed the shoulder and slowly bent down, her nails almost digging into Shan Nan's flesh.

Standing behind the woman were a man and a woman, both young, in their twenties and thirties, but Shannan didn't recognize them.

Lu Ji saw that Shang Nan was frowning in pain, and pulled Shang Nan from the woman's hands to him. The woman was crying so much that she could not speak normally. The woman behind her came forward, her eyes were red, but she was still restrained, "Hello." She took the initiative to say hello.

Lu Ji pulled Shang Nan and smiled at him, "Come in and sit down."

The door closed, and Lu Xiang, who came back with him, poured tea for a group of people with a bad look on his face.

Mei Mei is also there, and she seems to be in a good mood.

Mei Mei's face was full of relief, "It's true that I have been searching hard for this period of time, using a lot of manpower and material resources, and finally found Shang Nan's biological mother. Xiao Nan, hurry up, this is your mother, call someone..”

The woman sitting opposite Shang Nan was still crying. She and Mei Mei were completely opposite.

Mei Mei was wearing a black cashmere bottoming shirt, with well-maintained skin and hair, and a young and elegant posture. The woman next to her was slightly stooped, half of her hair was white, and the wrinkles on her face were clearly visible.

Shang Nan saw the joy in Mei Mei's eyes. Her joy was different from the joy of the Li family present.Shan Nan could see that he was not stupid, and Mei Mei probably didn't like his high status in Lu Ji's heart. He could see the conflict in the other person's eyes on the day of the conversation.

Otherwise, why bother to go to the trouble of finding a family for yourself? It would be too baffling.

But to the relatives in front of him, Shannan couldn't even call him out, he wasn't familiar with them.

Lu Ji pinched Shang Nan's fingers under the table and said to Mei Mei, "Please give him some time to accept."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man sitting diagonally across from Shan Nan slapped the table and stood up. The tea in the quilt spilled out. He pointed at Lu Zhi's nose, "Don't think that I don't know what you are planning. You are so eager toMy brother is here, what are you pretending to do?!"

Shannan was speechless for a moment, then pushed the tea cup in front of him, "It's better to keep it here than die at the door of the orphanage."

Li Northwest was startled. He could see Shang Nan's displeasure and knew that Shang Nan had suffered a lot. He just didn't like the way the Lu family acted.

At this time, Li Xixi next to him spoke. She looked at Shannan: "I'm sorry, my brother said something carelessly. I apologize to you on his behalf."

"Did my mother scare you?" She looked at Shannan, "She hasn't read any books. Apart from tending a few pieces of land in her hometown, she just looked for you everywhere. When she suddenly saw you, she reacted a bit too much. I'm sorry."

Li Xixi was probably the only one among these people who could talk calmly.

Shang Nan also figured out the whole story from the other party's explanation and 14's explanation.

At that time, Shang Nan's father had a man outside and wanted a divorce, but Shang Nan's mother refused to divorce. In order to retaliate and divert his mother's attention, his father and the woman outside stole Shang Nan out.Lost in an orphanage.

Everything went according to the plan of Shang Nan's father. Shang Nan's mother called the police and asked around. The telephone poles were covered with missing persons notices. She didn't have the energy to talk about the relationship with Shang Nan's father anymore. She signed the contract.After signing the divorce agreement, he worked to support Shang Nan's Daidai and his second brother, while at the same time looking for his youngest son.

They never gave up looking for Shannan, so when they received the call from the Lu family, they rushed over as soon as possible. Before coming, they were mentally prepared. They knew that the Lu family was a wealthy family, but their family was notNo, the eldest daughter is a doctor and the second son is a lawyer. No matter what, they can never afford to raise a younger brother.

After listening to this, Shan Nan felt mixed emotions in his heart. He originally thought that his parents didn't want him. Now it seems that the truth is not exactly what he thought at first. At least the three people in front of him still love him, although he doesn't now.Much needed.

Li Xixi reached across the table and held Shang Nan's hand, "Xiaonan, do you want to come with us?" Her attitude was friendly, and Shang Nan didn't resent it.

"I know that Mr. Lu is very kind to you, we can all see that, and I am very grateful to him for raising you so well, but you...can you give us a chance to make it up to you."

Shan Nan lowered his eyes and said nothing. He didn't know what to say. Of course he couldn't leave unless he could pack Lu Ji up with him.

Shang Nan's silence made Li Xixi's heart beat loudly and made Li's mother's tears flow even more violently.

Lu Ji leaned back on his chair, his tone gentle but also cold, "No matter what the reason is, it is an established fact that Xiaonan has been abandoned for more than ten years. He is innocent."

He pondered for a few seconds, and his voice became very low, "Give him some time."

Lu Ji seemed to be speaking for the Li family.

Shang Nan remained silent. No matter who was sitting in front of him, they could not surpass Lu Ji's status in his mind, but he could not do such a thing without caring about his original relatives.

Li Xixi looked at Shang Nan and understood something in her heart. She let go of Shang Nan's hand and took out a hospital medical record from her bag. It was a thick stack and she put it on the table. What she looked at wasLu Ji said, "My mother is not in good health. She has been looking for Shannan for more than ten years, and the property has been ruined. Do you think this will work? Let us stay here for a few days. If we need to pay for it, we can pay for it."

Li Xixi wanted to stand up and speak, but was held down by Li Xixi.

Lu Ji smiled and said politely, "The visitors are guests, and we should treat them well. What's more, you are Xiaonan's relatives."

Seeing how quickly Lu Ji agreed, Shang Nan had no doubt that the other party was actually waiting for the Li family to lower their conditions step by step. When the other party regressed to a level that he could accept, he immediately agreed.

Li Northwest sneered across from him. He didn't have any good impressions of Lu Ji at all.

Li Northwest is almost 30 years old this year. He has been working as a lawyer for several years. He has seen a lot of files and handled many cases, and there are countless dirty things going on behind the scenes of the Lu family.Just the way the Lu family raises children and machines makes the industry's hair stand on end. Although it all happened when the previous heads of the Lu family were in office, all Lu family members are no exception. Why would Lu Ji be an exception?

Looking at the development history of the Lu family, the first Lu Shen was a handsome gentleman with almost no shortcomings. The only shortcoming was that he died too early.

Shang Nan also didn't have a good impression of Li Northwest.

He sat on the chair, holding the newly brewed tea that Mrs. Xiang had made for him, and said nothing.

Mei Mei stood up and smiled. It could be seen that she was in a better mood today than any other day before. "Lu Ji, let's all leave here and let the family talk alone. We haven't seen each other for so many years. They must have a lot of friends."What you want to say.”

Mrs. Xiang couldn't be happy. She now had a sense of crisis that her child was about to be snatched away, but she couldn't refute what Mei Mei said. She forced a smile and said, "I'll go get someone to prepare the guest room."

Lu Ji pinched Shan Nan's face. When Shan Nan was stunned, he stood up and whispered affectionately: "Call me if you need anything."

As soon as the people close to him left, Shan Nan immediately felt a little restrained. He was thinking about what he should do now, which seemed more reasonable.

Mother Li finally recovered, but acted reserved. Looking at Shan Nan's current appearance, she felt both relieved and sour.Because even if she had raised Shannan herself, she probably wouldn't have been able to raise him to such beauty. She spoke carefully, "Look, you and your sister have exactly the same eyes."

They were exactly the same. Shang Nan looked at Li Xixi as if looking in a mirror.

Li Northwest also moved. He took out a photo album, a milk bottle, and a rattle from his backpack. "They are all your things, do you remember?" His eager attitude was the same as his attitude towards Lu Shishi.They are two extremes.

Li Xixi cried and laughed, "How old was he at that time? How could he remember?"

After that, Li Xixi pushed Li Northwest and said, "Go and ask someone where the bathroom is, and take mom to wash her face."

"Oh." Li Northwest helped Li's mother get up and left her seat.

Shang Nan saw that Li Xixi had something to say.

Li Xixi looked at the young man with delicate eyebrows in front of her, feeling strange and relieved at the same time. She said softly: "Don't be angry with Li Xixi. He got the photo of you in the orphanage. He was covered with injuries. He threw the envelope toWhen I was talking to Mr. Lu, I hit Mr. Lu in the face, and I’m really sorry.”

Shang Nan couldn't accept the apology on Lu Ji's behalf. It wasn't his own apology, so he could only stay silent and drink tea while holding the tea cup.

"Don't be angry with my mother. She didn't mean to scold Ms. Mei Mei. It was because there were too many scammers. At first, my mother was defrauded of money by scammers who said they found you. As soon as she saw Ms. Mei Mei, sheApologized to her."

"I can see that you and Mr. Lu have a very good relationship. I also know that you are definitely not willing to come with us, but I still want to give it a try, so I just asked more questions." Li Xixi smiled reluctantly, "When you were just born, my mother found out that the man was cheating on you. We had fights and quarrels all day long at home, and I took care of you most of the time. You liked to drink water in several mouthfuls, and you weren’t a crybaby.No matter what happens, you won’t cry or make trouble...just like you are now."

Shang Nan was a little moved, but he didn't know whether it was his consciousness or his body that was moved.

He put down the tea cup and sighed, "It's all over."

"Listen to me," Li Xixi smiled heroically, "When mom found out you were missing, she was so anxious that the man took advantage of this moment to pester her to sign the divorce agreement. She didn't have the energy to deal with it at that time.That man just signed. At that time, there was very little surveillance, and you couldn't be found at all. She had been in a hospital for a long time, and her health was getting worse. The missing person notice was posted in the advertisement column, and was torn up and posted.She tore it up, but later she was not allowed to put it up, saying it would affect the appearance of the town, and she was even invited to the street office for a talk."

"Li Xibei and I are both ordinary people. He studies law and I study medicine. He and I have never gotten married because we both feel that if he did not go to play games with his classmates that day, I would not be busy preparing for the exam., you won’t be secretly carried away.”

"When I first learned that you were in the Lu family, I thought it would be okay to be taken away. The Lu family is so rich. It would be better to be a young master in a rich family than to live in an old house with us. But when Ms. Mei Mei sentI didn’t think so about the photos of you when you were a child, although I don’t know how she got those photos, but before you were fifteen, your life was similar to that of a little beggar.”

"However, seeing that you are living so well now makes me feel relieved." Li Xixi patted the back of Shannan's hand.

In the restroom.

Li Northwest wiped Li's mother's face with a tissue, his face full of injustice, "Lu Ji refused to let him go, I can see it."

Mother Li's hand was carefully holding the countertop, for fear of breaking something. She didn't want to cause trouble to Shannan.So when she heard Li Northwest's words, she raised her hand and hit Li Northwest on the forehead, "It wasn't him, your brother would have died in the orphanage a long time ago. We have to thank them. See how well they raised Xiaonan.As white and tender as a piglet."

"Mom!" Li Northwest was speechless, "How can Xiaonan be a little piggy?"

Mother Li washed her face and went out. This time, she did not sit in her previous seat, but sat next to Shannan.

She unbuttoned the pockets of her clothes, and there were pockets sewn inside. She took out a bank card from her pocket and stuffed it to Shannan from under the table. "This is the money I have saved for you over the years. I will post the password on it."Above, there will be many places for you to spend money in the future, good for the Lu family, but you must also have money in your own hands."

"We can't live here for more than a few days, and we will leave soon. The radishes in our hometown are about to be harvested, and we have to prepare to plant corn after the New Year..." Mother Li wished she could finish talking to Shannan at this moment.

Li Northwest listened for a long time, and when he noticed that Li's mother started to go off topic, he couldn't help but remind her, "Mom, why are you talking to Xiaonan about this? You tell the key points."

Mother Li realized that she had said something, and her face turned red. However, the redness was not very obvious on her face that had been exposed to wind and sun. She held Shang Nan's wrist for a long time before she said it.One sentence, "Study hard and get into a good university."

Shang Nan did not dislike it. 14 said that his previous major was zoology and botany, so he felt very friendly when he heard about radish and corn.

Mother Li is a good mother. She has done enough for the original body. This is all that she can do for her son within the scope of her knowledge.

Shang Nan will not be indifferent to people who treat him sincerely. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will study hard."

There are thousands of unhappy families. No matter what, the affection given to him by the other party deserves to be taken seriously by Shannan.

Mei Mei did not leave. She was drinking health tea in Lu Ji's study. Her smile showed relief, "It is a good deed to help Xiaonan find her relatives."

"Seeing them reunited makes me very happy for Xiaonan. Lu Ji, what about you?"

Lu Ji browsed the documents Lu Xiang put on the desk. When he heard Mei Mei's words, the corner of his mouth twitched, "Mother, I am also very happy for Xiaonan."

Mei Mei carefully observed Lu Ji's expression, and after a moment, she said: "Lu Ji, I am your mother, I know you, and I know that you are actually not happy."

"I know you have raised Xiaonan yourself for three years, but he has grown up after all, and he should have his own life. It is a good thing that you have a good relationship," Mei Mei frowned, "But even if it is father and son, brothers, there is no relationship between each other.All have to keep a certain distance.”

Lu Ji dipped the tip of his pen in ink, signed his name on the last page, then closed the document and put it aside. He looked at Mei Mei, his tone was slow and gentle, and he said, "He and I are not father and son.Not brothers either.”

After he finished speaking, he stood up, walked to sit down opposite Mei Mei, and poured her tea with his own hands. When he placed the tea cup in front of Mei Mei, Lu Ji said, "Mother, can I ask you a favor?"

Mei Mei avoided Lu Jiwu's heavy gaze and said, "Say."

"I hope you can treat Xiaonan the same way you treat my spouse." Lu Ji said sincerely, but his expression was always calm. He seemed to be just informing Mei Mei.

Mei Mei's elegance and calmness no longer existed. Her eyes widened and she couldn't believe what she heard.

"I also hope that you will not do anything like helping Xiaonan find relatives again, but I am indeed very happy that you can find relatives for Xiaonan who truly love him." Lu Ji paused slightly, "It's just that your purpose is notNot for Xiaonan, or for me, right?"

"How dare you..." She covered her chest and turned pale.

Lu Ji told her not to worry and speak slowly.But Mei Mei felt that the other party was so strange.

In her eyes, Lu Ji's health was not good, he had always been weak, his temper was soft, and his heart was soft.But when she came back this time, she vaguely felt that Lu Ji was different from before. He seemed to be no different from before, except that he looked better.But the indifference mixed with tenderness is like the snow in the cold winter.

The only thing that makes him behave differently than usual is the child he keeps by his side, but apart from his handsome appearance, there is nothing special about him.

But Lu Ji's relationship with him was so good that he couldn't even compare to her as a mother. He even had to ask the child for help when persuading him to get married.

She thought about finding Shang Nan's family, hoping that Shang Nan's family could take Shang Nan away.

At first, everything developed as expected, but when Shan Nan showed his unwillingness, his family immediately changed their tune.

It doesn't matter, blood ties are inherently invincible. As long as they get along with each other for a few days, Shannan will naturally be willing to leave her family. By then, she will definitely prepare a rich gift for Shannan and send him away.

However, what she didn't expect was that the relationship between Lu Ji and Shan Nan was not what she imagined at all. The actual situation was obviously much more difficult.

"No, I don't allow it..." Mei Mei was speechless.

Lu Ji held Mei Mei's hand, "Don't be afraid, Xiaonan and I will love you forever."

Mei Mei: "..."

She looked bad when she left, and everyone in the living room noticed it. She didn't even close the door when she left.

Shang Nan bit into the biscuit Mrs. Xiang sent her and thought: It's probably because she was unhappy looking for it at Lu Ji's place.

Looking away from the door, Shang Nan pushed the biscuits to the middle, "You guys eat too."

Li Northwest: "I won't eat."

Shan Nan was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Li Xixi took a piece and said by the way: "I asked for annual leave with the hospital this time, but it is only for ten days. The hospital is very short of manpower. I am fully booked for the rest of the time, so I won't disturb you for too long..”

"Doctors are very hard-working." Shang Nan followed the other person's words and said.

Li Northwest put his hand on a biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth, "She is the deputy director of the ophthalmology department, and she is also a workaholic. If she doesn't work hard, who will?"

"What about you?" Shannan raised his eyebrows.

"I'm a homeless person." Li Northwest didn't feel ashamed at all.

Mother Li couldn't help but interject, "He studied Fa and helped people fight a lawsuit. He won the lawsuit and lost his job. Now he can't find a job and is delivering food."

"It's not that I can't find it, it's that they don't let me look for it!" Li Northwest said impatiently, "Anyway, after I finish spending this time with Xiaonan, I won't hang out here anymore. I can't hang out anymore."

Shang Nan looked at Li Northwest thoughtfully. He might be that kind of cynical young man with a good mind, but not that good.

Li Northwest felt uncomfortable when Shang Nan looked at him, "What are you looking at?" The young man's eyes were fixed, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

He also washed his hair and took a shower today, put on new clothes, and shaved his beard. There should be nothing worth seeing.

Shannan said casually: "Look at how handsome you are."

Li Northwest was stunned for a moment, then sneered, his neck and face turning red together.

Lu Ji watched this scene of "brothers, friends and brothers respectfully" in the study, and gently closed the door. Not long after, Mrs. Xiang walked in expressionlessly and reported expressionlessly, "The guest rooms have been arranged, and they are all with us."This way."

After Lu Ji heard this, he nodded. After he nodded, he found that Lu Xiang had been staying in the room. He raised his eyes and saw that the other party had a gloomy look on his face. He couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong?"

"Why is Mei Mei like this?" Lu Xiang walked to Lu Ji's desk and stood still, "I went to check the surveillance and phone records of the past few days, and found that she was helping Xiaonan find her family. Why did she do this?It harms others but does not benefit oneself.”

"Fortunately, this family is just a little bit stupider than Li Northwest. It would be really disgusting if we found a family of vampires."

"She likes Xiaonan, but she doesn't like me and Xiaonan getting too close." Lu Ji told Lu Xiang truthfully.

Lu Xiang was shocked and covered her mouth, "Has she discovered your relationship?"

Lu Ji: "I didn't know at first, but now I know."

"No wonder she looked like she was about to faint when she left."

Not long after Lu Ji was born, she and Lu Xiao left the old house. She only sent back one letter every year, in which she would only express her longing for Lu Ji. Other than that, she would rush to the house on the day Lu Ji fell off his horse.She came back, but because there was a banquet in the evening, she left in a hurry.

So it’s hard to tell how deep the relationship between mother and son is.

Lu Xiang thought that Lu Xiao's death had hit Mei Mei too hard, and she could only pin all her feelings on Lu Ji.

Lu Xiang is extremely aware of the deep class concept of the Lu family, regardless of gender.In their eyes, a child from a farming family could barely carry shoes for the Lu family.

But Mei Mei's act of inviting Shang Nan's family here was really unethical.

"Aren't you afraid that Xiaonan will go with them in the end?"

Lu Ji laughed, his eyes warm, "How many people in the world love Xiaonan, for him and me, it is a dream, why do we have to be divided?"

He said it calmly and fairly, and it would have seemed even more calm and fair if he hadn't said the next sentence.

He said: "What's more, the child I raised, I know his temper well."

But thinking about the scene just now, the corners of Lu Ji's mouth couldn't help but lower down. Being so intimate with others really made people unhappy.

Li Xixi didn't even stay at the Lu family for a day. The dean called and asked her to go back in person. There was an operation that had to be performed tonight.

Mrs. Xiang likes Li Xixi because she is a doctor who can help the world. She was already preparing lunch. When she heard that Li Xixi was about to leave, she hurriedly said: "Let's have a meal at least."

"Don't eat. The little girl waiting for the operation is only three years old. Only I can do this operation." She hurriedly put on her coat, took out a bank card from her bag, and hurriedly gave it to Shannan.She also said in a hurry, "Pocket money, I'm in the third hospital. You can come see me when you have time. If you don't have time, forget it and study hard." She seemed to have entered working mode, and she was very different from before.

The only ones left were Li Mu and Li Xibei, one sitting on the left side of Shang Nan and the other on the right side of Shang Nan. When Lu Ji passed by, he had a teasing smile on his face.

After lunch, Shang Nan was so impressed by Li Northwest that he even checked his homework and made a future plan for him, including 1234567.

"After all, I am a graduate of the top political and law university. You are right to believe me."

"Lu Ji? Lu Ji has money and can buy you a doctorate. Do you want it? We have to rely on ourselves."

"Don't fall in love prematurely, cheat money and cheat feelings."

Because of Li Northwest's intervention, Shang Nandu and Lu Ji maintained a very polite social distance until ten o'clock in the evening.

When sleeping at night, Li Northwest even made a bed on the floor of Shang Nan's room.

There was a very strange atmosphere in the room, because Shannan was not familiar with the other party, they had just met him, and Li Xibei was not very likable.

Li Northwest didn't sleep either. He slept on the floor. Because there was heating, it wasn't cold. He crossed his legs and said, "I know, you think Lu Ji is good anywhere. He is your savior. Even our mother thinks he is."He is a good man, but do you know that every one hundred years or so in the Lu family, a twenty-seven-year-old person dies?"

Shannan was already about to fall asleep, but when he heard these words, all his sleep ran away, "What?"

"I used to help people with lawsuits. The defendant was a lending company opened by one of Lu Xiao's subordinates. I obtained the permission to browse the Lu family's information through a senior and discovered this matter. The causes of death of these people were different. The onlyThe same thing is that they are both twenty-seven years old," Li Northwest said in a deep voice, "But I just find it strange and haven't found any other connections, so I'm telling you. The water in the Lu family is too deep. If you can, just go as far as possible."

"I know you are annoyed by my mother and me, and I am annoyed too," Li Xibei said, "No matter what, Lu Ji is more reliable as a brother than me."

Li Xibei talked about something later, but Shannan didn't pay much attention to it, mainly because the other party's voice became quieter and quieter, and finally he just started snoring.

It was like a hairdryer suddenly appeared in the room.

[14: Your brother is quite smart. There is no detailed information about Lu Ji in that information. Lu Ji is just twenty-seven years old this year. Otherwise, he should have noticed.]

[14: By the way, can you still call Lu Jiyi brother now?]

The feeling that Lu Ji gave to Shang Nan was different from the feeling that Li Xibei gave to Shang Nan. They were completely incomparable.

Li Northwest kept snoring, and Shannan couldn't stand it anymore. He found slippers on the ground, put them on and tiptoed out of the room.

As soon as he closed the door, he met Lu Ji who was standing aside. The other person's dark gaze startled Shang Nan. Shang Nan was afraid of waking up Li Xibei, so he pushed Lu Ji into his own room, "YouWhy haven't you slept yet?" He asked Lu Ji.

Lu Ji was holding a lamp in his hand, "We just finished the meeting. Where are you?"

"Li Xixi said."

Lu Ji frowned slightly, "You guys sleep on the same bed?"

Shannan leaned against the wall and said helplessly, "I can hear him even if he sleeps in the yard."

"Come on, come with me downstairs to have something to eat." Lu Ji held Shang Nan's hand.

The firewood in the fireplace on the first floor was about to burn out, and the living room was quiet. Shannan lowered his head and watched the hand holding him change from white and shiny to bones. The sleeves fell on a few bones on the back of the hand.A weird beauty.

"Lu Ji, are you unhappy?" Shang Nan was sensitive to the changes in Lu Ji. Not only the appearance of bones, Lu Ji's mood was quite low.

The other party didn't look back, and after letting Shannan sit down at the dining table, he went to the kitchen and took out two steaks that had been opened. The raw steaks were placed in the center of a large plate, with a thin layer of red liquid on the bottom of the plate.

Lu Ji took out the knife and fork, "Xiao Nan, can we use them together?"

"No, just eat it." He doesn't eat raw meat.

The steak on the plate was raw and looked like it had just been thawed.

Lu Ji's back was straight and his posture was elegant. He held the knife steadily with his finger bones. When cutting the raw steak, he had no effort at all. Only his arms were white bones. When he fed the steak into his mouth, he felt like a man from hell.The perfect gentleman.

"I'm not angry, I'm really happy for you."

Shannan could almost imagine how his teeth felt when chewing raw meat. His teeth were a little sore, "Thank you."

Even if he knew the answer, Lu Ji still wanted to ask for proof, "Xiao Nan, if they must take you away, will you follow them?"

"I will visit them often." Shan Nan said slowly, "They have worked hard, and they are also innocent."

Lu Ji slowed down his chewing movements and smiled, "I know you have always been a kind child."

Shang Nan felt something strange and weird when he heard it. He knew that Lu Ji in monster form, no matter how normal it looked, would always have something abnormal, even if it said it wasn't.

"They are relatives. Even if I don't admit that I have never met or known each other, they are still relatives. No one can deny this, not even myself." Shan Nan leaned on the table and looked at Lu Ji seriously, "But you don'tSame. I like you, Lu Ji, and I want to hug and kiss you, not someone who is used to your existence."

Lu Ji looked at Shang Nan and smiled slightly. The curve of his mouth was gentle and weird, "Me too."

It put down the knife, reached behind its back, and made a low, clear sound. Because the restaurant was quiet, Shang Nan heard it clearly.

Lu Ji placed the object in his hand in the middle of the dining table - a piece of white bone.Shang Nan couldn't see the specific location, but he knew that his hair was about to stand up. Could the bones be broken off at will?

The lamp above the head was dim, and the raw beef exuded a healthy and fresh blood-red color under the lamp. The snow outside the window fell in large flakes, like the arc of feathers falling from the sky.

The boy's expression was a little dazed and confused, but in the eyes of the skeleton, it was cute.

Lu Ji raised his hand to support his chin with his knuckles, with a gentle and conniving expression. One eye socket no longer contained an eye, but a hollow, dark bone. The arched brow bone drew a perfect facial curve downwards. It made a "please"Gesture, "Xiao Nan, make a vow that you will always love me."
