Chapter 568 Li Luo's Discovery
The next day was New Year's Day.
Because there will be a three-day final exam right after New Year's Day, the six people in Li Luo's study group made an appointment to rest and relax on the 1st, and come here to review and prepare for the exam on the 2nd and 3rd.
So after getting up early in the morning and doing a morning run, Li Luo took advantage of the free time on the 1st, got in Xu Youyu's car, and went to sign up for the driver's license test.
He had previously taken the time to imprint all the knowledge and questions related to the driver's license into his memory palace, so he signed up for the first part of the test that day and passed it smoothly.
Then I made an appointment for the second subject next week.
"You still have to go to school next week. Where do you find the time to practice the content of Subject 2?" Xu Youyu couldn't help but ask on the way to pick up Li Luo and take him home.
"Relax, it's okay." Li Luo said in the passenger seat.
He often drove Xu Youyu's car in his previous life. With the memory palace in hand, driving was a very simple matter for him.
But Xu Youyu was worried, and frowned and reminded him: "This is driving, not the bumper cars in the amusement park, you must be careful."
"Don't worry, the coach is there to pull the handbrake." Li Luo said, then changed the subject and asked, "Did the editor tell you about the annual meeting?"
"Yes." Xu Youyu nodded as he drove, "We're going to Tianhe City this time."
"It happens to be winter vacation then, so I can take Xixi and Zhusheng with me?"
"Oh." Upon hearing that Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng were also to be brought along, Xu Youyu curled his lips immediately, "Go ahead, bring them along. You're the one who knows how to enjoy life the most."
"Sister Youyu, do you want to be alone with me?" Watching Xu Youyu drive into the Bihai Lanting community and park the car, Li Luo reached out and held Xu Youyu's small hand, turned his head and asked with a smile.
"Take your stinky hands away." Xu Youyu pouted, unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car, "Let's go home."
"I thought you were going to stay in the car a little longer."
"Then do we need to call Xixi and Zhusheng down, so that the four of us can stay in the car together?"
"Jealous?"
"Who wants to be jealous of you?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him and walked straight into the building.
Li Luo got out of the car and quickly followed, walked into the elevator, touched Xu Youyu with his arm, and saw her move two steps away from him.
"How about we not bring them this time?" Li Luo said, "Just the two of us will go."
"I didn't say I couldn't let you bring it." Xu Youyu tried to keep a straight face and pretended to be indifferent.
"I also want to spend some time alone with Sister Youyu." Li Luo moved closer to Xu Youyu again and gently put his arms around her slender waist.
Seeing that she was no longer avoiding him, he hugged her in his arms and kissed her.
Now Xu Youyu could no longer pretend to watch, and buried his head in Li Luo's arms, laughing secretly, feeling a little happy.
It’s not that she doesn’t know how to share, but she insists on having Li Luo all to herself.
But when he thought about the New Year's Eve, Xixi and Zhusheng could stay with Li Luo, while he would have to wait two days before he could see Li Luo.
Then she thought about how she and Li Luo went to Qiongzhou City alone last year and had a wonderful time.
Even her first kiss was given to Li Luo at that time.
So when the annual meeting arrived, Xu Youyu really wanted to meet with Li Luo alone again and didn't want to be disturbed by anyone else.
"So did the editor tell you about the great writer's quota?" Li Luo watched the elevator door open and walked out with Xu Youyu. He suddenly remembered this. "I remember that your new book has been subscribed by 10,000 people, right?"
"No chance for now~" Xu Youyu spread his hands helplessly and sighed, "They will report the candidate list in mid-November, and then vote in December. I missed it."
"It's okay." Li Luo patted her hand and comforted her, "It will definitely be next year."
"But you're going to be a platinum this year." Xu Youyu puffed his lips, then glanced at Li Luo and snorted, "Now I'm just a small LV5, and you're a platinum writer. There's a huge gap between us."
"is it?"
Li Luo stretched out his hand and pressed her at the door of her house, hugging her tightly: "Let me see where the abyss is? Here? It is indeed the abyss."
"Where are you touching?! Ugh..."
……
The two men struggled outside the door for a long time before they took out the key, opened the door, and returned home.
At this time, Yan Zhusheng was practicing in the piano room.
Ying Chanxi was reading and studying in his bedroom.
It was afternoon, and Li Luo and Xu Youyu had nothing to do, so they simply went back to their rooms to write.
It was almost evening when the four of them gathered together to buy groceries and then went home to cook together.
Ever since Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu tried cooking on Li Luo’s birthday last time, the two of them have become a little interested in this.
However, they are not very talented in this area, and everything will be fine if they can figure out one or two dishes that they are best at.
Even so, it saved Li Luo a lot of trouble.
The four of them squeezed into the kitchen to cook together, making some noise from time to time, and time passed quickly.
At 6:30 in the evening, a table full of sumptuous dishes was finally ready.
After dinner, Li Luo and Xu Youyu continued to write.
Because it was still early for a bath in the evening, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng did not come to Li Luo to blow-dry their hair.
Ying Chanxi cut some fruit for him and brought it to him, and also helped him fill his cup with warm water, and then did not bother him any further.
It was not until Li Luo finished writing a chapter, leaned back in his chair, stretched himself, and wanted to drink some water that he realized the water in the cup was almost gone.
Usually, Ying Chanxi would switch from studying to taking a break every half an hour, and add some water to his bowl.
But he didn't come at this moment.
Li Luo stood up, took the cup and walked out of the bedroom, and simply went to add water himself.
When passing by Ying Chanxi's room, I found that the door was open, but I didn't see Ying Chanxi.
Xu Youyu's door was closed, probably still typing.
There was no one in Yan Zhusheng's bedroom or living room.
So after pouring the water, Li Luo went straight to the door of the piano room, intending to knock on the door and go in to take a look.
As a result, as soon as I reached the door, I vaguely heard the sound of a faint conversation coming from inside.
Originally, Li Luo had no intention of eavesdropping and simply pushed the door open.
But when he approached the door, he seemed to hear Ying Chanxi mention his father and mother or something, so he paused, withdrew his hand from opening the door, and silently put his ear to the door.
The sounds in the piano room gradually became clearer.
"The New Year is coming soon. This is an established fact. It's useless for you to refuse to accept it." Yan Zhusheng's voice came from inside.
"Of course I know this is true." Ying Chanxi's voice followed, "Just like you sleep in Li Luo's bed every day now."
"Xixi." When Yan Zhusheng said this, he probably raised his head and looked directly at Ying Chanxi, or even tilted his head, "Are you jealous?"
"I'm not jealous." Ying Chanxi clenched his fists, still stubborn as always, "What should I be jealous of?"
"Then why don't you agree with my mother and your father being together?" Yan Zhusheng asked back.
"Are these two things the same?" Ying Chanxi bit her lip, "That's not the point at all."
"What is that?" Yan Zhusheng asked again, "I don't really understand why you reject it. Is there something wrong with my mother?"
"Of course Aunt Yuan is also very nice...but...but..." Ying Chanxi clenched his hands and held his breath, with a bit of grievance in his tone, "But what about my mother?" "If Aunt Yuan knew, do you think she would refuse?" Yan Zhusheng asked again, "If Li Luo and I were husband and wife, and I died, I wouldn't mind Li Luo marrying Xixi or Senior Sister."
Ying Chanxi: “……?”
Li Luo: “…”
Li Luo, who was standing at the door, was listening to the conversation between Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng. He was shocked at first that the two of them had already known about the relationship between Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing.
Then he was amazed at Yan Zhusheng's magical train of thought, which even silenced Ying Chanxi.
"Actually, Xixi just feels that no matter Uncle Ying or Li Luo, they are your own things and belong to you alone." Yan Zhusheng suddenly said, "So once someone else wants to share it with you, you get anxious."
"I didn't!" Ying Chanxi denied it flatly, "Zhu Sheng, don't talk nonsense! I didn't think that at all!"
"Then why do you keep dwelling on this matter?" Yan Zhusheng asked, "Do you always feel like my mom has taken your dad away from you?"
"But on the other hand, I can also say that your father took my mother away."
"So what do you think is right?"
It has to be said that Li Luo rarely sees Yan Zhusheng like this.
Even in the previous life, I had never seen her so eloquent.
Or maybe girls become different people when they chat privately?
After all, Ying Chanxi was somewhat excited at the moment, which was quite rare under normal circumstances.
But soon, Li Luo fell into another difficult problem.
Should we talk about this matter with Ying Zhicheng and the others in advance?
Logically speaking, Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing rarely come to their place, so there shouldn't be much risk of being exposed.
I don't know when the truth was revealed.
Lao Ying is really something.
We agreed to wait until college to confess, but in the end I couldn't help but bring him home during the New Year.
He always looks for opportunities to meet with Yuan Wanqing in private.
It's okay now.
Your daughter knows everything.
Li Luo recalled the time when he was writing a novel and kept it a secret from Ying Chanxi, which resulted in her getting mad at him.
So at this moment he could understand some of Ying Chanxi's subconscious thoughts.
Sometimes, you may not know yourself best.
Ying Chanxi herself may not realize that she actually longs for people around her to be honest with her, without covering up or hiding anything.
If Ying Zhicheng had taken the initiative to explain the matter to Ying Chanxi and sought his daughter's opinion when there were just some signs of romance between him and Yuan Wanqing, Ying Chanxi might have been more receptive to it.
But now that things have come to this, there is no going back.
Let's find some time before the New Year to talk to Ying Zhicheng.
Since Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng already know about it, let’s end it as soon as possible to avoid hiding it.
but.
Li Luo, who was thinking about something, began to have some doubts in his mind at this time.
Because according to his understanding of the situation of Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng in his previous life, he had not heard from his parents that there was a bad relationship between Ying Chanxi and Ying Zhicheng.
On the contrary, it was Yan Zhusheng's side.
She had worked for her for nearly a year, but had never seen Yuan Wanqing come to see her.
It seemed that she had never visited Yuan Wanqing.
The two sides seem to have no contact at all.
Li Luo was able to come to this conclusion, firstly because he lived in Yan Zhusheng's house at the time, and secondly because Yan Zhusheng spent the New Year's Day alone at home that year.
Li Luo came back to her from the hospital late at night and took her to set off fireworks.
He didn't even go home for the New Year, and it was obvious that he had basically cut off contact with Yuan Wanqing.
But looking at the current situation, Yan Zhusheng seems to be quite supportive of Yuan Wanqing's second marriage?
On the contrary, Ying Chanxi was a little resistant to this matter.
This made Li Luo a little confused and he had no idea what was going on.
Could it be that it was the butterfly effect caused by my rebirth?
After thinking it over, Li Luo decided not to delve into the reasons for the time being. Hearing that the quarrel inside had almost subsided, he quietly retreated and came to the door of Xu Youyu's room.
He knocked on the door and walked in.
"Is there something?" Xu Youyu was sitting cross-legged on the chair, typing seriously on the computer.
When he heard the door opening, he turned around and asked.
"Well... I want to discuss something with you." Li Luo thought for a while and told Xu Youyu what happened just now. "So I thought, should I bring them along to the annual meeting? Let's see if I can take them out to relax and solve the hidden dangers of this matter in advance."
When Xu Youyu heard that his long-awaited time as a couple was going to be ruined, his face immediately drooped.
"Are you angry again?" Li Luo asked in a low voice.
"What's there to be angry about?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes, then grabbed Li Luo and pressed him to the bed, "But I have to collect some interest in advance!"
……
The next day, Zhao Rongjun and two other people came to Bihai Lanting, and a six-person study group was started.
However, Ying Chanxi was obviously a little absent-minded.
As time got closer to New Year's Eve, she felt more and more irritated.
However, she hid it well on the surface. Except for Li Luo and the others who knew the inside story, Qiao Xinyan and the other three did not notice anything unusual about Ying Chanxi.
When it was time for lunch, Xu Yinghuan couldn't wait to say, "Our winter vacation starts on the 13th, and New Year's Eve is on the 27th."
"Didn't my dad say at the parent-teacher conference that he wanted to invite you to dinner at my house?"
"So I'm going to take a day off and invite you guys to my house. How about that?"
Ying Chanxi was actually not interested.
But since I have already promised it before, I naturally won’t say anything.
Li Luo nodded, but added: "We need to ask Uncle Ying and Aunt Yuan to see how their schedules are."
"Then you guys ask first." Xu Yinghuan smiled happily, "Let's make an appointment in advance about when you're free. I'll go tell my dad."
……
Two days passed in a blink of an eye.
After the New Year's Day holiday.
The final exams for Affiliated No. 1 Middle School have begun.
