Chapter 74: Falling in Love with Little Dizzy

  The sky was still dark, and Liruo woke up. To be exact, she didn't sleep well all night, and she didn't know if it was because of hunger or homesickness. Anyway, the first feeling when she got up now was that her spirit was dizzy.

  Today I'm going back to my own home, but in my heart there's a kind of indescribable melancholy.

  Li Luoer pulled open the curtains and gazed at the luxurious courtyard, her tears falling like broken threads onto the windowsill, shattering.

  My room is the innermost one, adjacent to a small tea bar at the corner. If I want to go downstairs, I have to pass by Lu Xiansheng's, Chen Zhiquan's and Li Chao's rooms... There are also two large empty rooms temporarily used as guest rooms.

  Li Luo folded the towels and blankets neatly, made her bed, tiptoed out of the room, and went downstairs to the first floor.

  They get up so early?! Lí Luòér looked at the busy maids, feeling a bit unaccustomed. She couldn't sleep, but they had already started sweeping the rooms, preparing breakfast, and trimming flowers...

  "Hello, Miss Luo!" The maids looked at Luo Luo'er as she came downstairs and greeted her one after another.

  "Oh!" Lí Luò ér still felt a bit unaccustomed to this kind of life, and didn't know how to face it.

  "Miss, you're up so early, would you like something to eat with your tea?"

  "Just give me a cup of warm water! You all go ahead and busy yourselves, I'll go sit in the courtyard for a bit!"

  Facing Lie Luoer's politeness and courtesy, the maid was a bit bewildered. What was going on? In the past, the young masters who brought back women when the old master and the sisters were not around were not like this. They were all arrogant and domineering, as if they wanted to stick their noses up in the air.

  Li Lu'er walked in the yard, listening to the gurgling water flowing down from the small artificial hill, smelling the fragrance of flowers and grass, and sighed: "It's indeed a good place!"

  Looking at the bamboo chair swing beside her, Li Luo'er touched it and found not a speck of dust on it. "How meticulous! Such a large courtyard can be spotless!"

  She gently sat down, feeling the last bit of chill in the morning air, and smiled to herself.

  "Miss, I added a slice of lemon and salt to your water. It can help detoxify and nourish your skin, it's good for the body. I don't know if you'll like it." The maid bowed respectfully, holding the tray.

  Li Luo'er held the water cup, looking at the golden yellow lemon slice emitting a faint yellow glow inside, biting the straw and taking a few sips, the taste was exceptionally good, and after finishing it, her spirits were still quite high.

  "What's your name?" Lí Luòér asked the little girl in front of her, who looked like she was eighteen or nineteen years old.

  "Hello Miss, I'm Taizi!"

  "Taohua, what a lovely name... Thanks for the lemonade, I really like it!" Liruoer put down the empty cup on the tray and leaned her whole body sideways in the bamboo rocking chair to take a nap.

  "Should we get a blanket for the young lady?"

  "It's okay, you go ahead and busy yourself, I'll just rest here for a while!"

  "Yes."

  Lai Luo'er rested her hands as a pillow, staring at the sky with wide eyes, waiting for dawn. However, after staring for a while, her eyes didn't get tired, but her eyelids did.

  An hour later, Lu Xiansheng and Chen Zhiquan followed Li Chao downstairs.

  "Good morning, Master Da Shao! Good morning, Master Biao Shao! Good morning, Master Li Shao!" Ah Hua led the servants in bowing and greeting them good morning.

  Lu Xuan's hand waved, and the servants dispersed again, each going about their own business.

  Sitting at the dinner table, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Lei Luoer's empty seat and frowned, asking Ah Hua: "Where is she?"

  "In the garden!"

  "Hmm?!" Lu Xiansheng sighed, "You guys eat first!" He greeted Chen Zhiquan and Li Chao before going out to look for her.

  Looking at Li Lu's body that seemed to have a halo under the sunlight, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "You're so infatuated with her!"

  "Get up! What's wrong, want to get sick?" Lu Xiangsheng wrapped his arms around Li Luo'er's waist and gently placed her head on his shoulder.

  "What time is it?" Li Luo'er asked drowsily.

  "Seven thirty."

  "What? It's already 7:30?!"

  Watching Li Luoer's sudden clarity, Lu Xiansheng was a little curious.

  "Uh... let's eat, I'm hungry. We still have to go home later!" Li Lu'er put on her slippers and ran back into the house.

  "You..."

  "What's wrong with you? You're not eating, I'll eat!" Lí Luòér heard him speak but didn't stop.

  "I was going to say you're wearing your slippers backwards!" Lu Xiansheng yelled out in frustration.

  Li Lu'er stopped in her tracks upon hearing the sound, looked down at her own feet and saw that she was indeed wearing her slippers on the wrong feet. She then glanced up at the row of maids standing opposite her, looking puzzled, and awkwardly squeezed out a smile before calmly and composedly swapping her shoes.

  "What have I done to deserve this?! Falling for such a scatterbrained girl?!" Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked, walking behind with a gloomy face.

  After finishing breakfast, Lu Xiansheng took Li Luoye back to the old house of the Li family.

  Ahua had already prepared the car and although he was temporarily acting as the manager, he still personally washed the car until it was spotless.

  Li Luo sat in the car, feeling a bit awkward. It wasn't because she was sharing a ride with Lu Xiangsheng, but rather because she knew this was her last time going home. Her heart felt heavy with sorrow, yet she couldn't show it, so she tensed up all her nerves, hoping to be stronger.

  No matter what, I'll go and stay calm, then look for clues!

  Li Luo leaned against the car window, looking at the various flowers and grasses outside the window competing with each other in beauty, but it didn't arouse any interest. If it were usual, she might have turned into a butterfly long ago, playing with those flowers and grasses together.

  "Ah Hua, have you done everything you needed to do?" Lu Xian Sheng's tone was somewhat heavy.

  "Everything is arranged, young master." Ah Hua replied steadily from the driver's seat.

  Li Chao looked at Ah Hua, somewhat puzzled, and several times wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Xuan Sheng ge, Zhi Quan ge, can you tell me about your story? I still don't understand until now, just muddling along every day, it's a bit worrying."

  Lu Xuan Sheng smiled slightly and pulled down the corner of his mouth, raising his chin to look at Chen Zhi Quan, "Explaining this matter isn't your specialty, is it? You come instead."

  Chen Zhiquan seemed to understand and yet not understand as he met Lu Xiansheng's gaze, foolishly asking: "What are you talking about? How do you explain it? Where do you start?"

  "Feel free, or you can say nothing but know everything, and speak without leaving anything out."

  Listening to Lu Xiansheng's response, Chen Zhiquan was somewhat at a loss.

  "What does this monster want to do? In the past, he was extremely secretive about his identity, although the goddess had already exposed a lot, but wasn't he still being cautious about Liruo's acceptance ability?"

  Even if he moved into another courtyard, he didn't mention a word about Li Lu'er. How could it be that with just one casual question from Li Chao, he would let himself be completely exposed?

  Chen Zhiquan looked at Lu Xiansheng's eyes a few more times. This guy, when he was sober, his eyes were deep and bottomless, and nothing could be seen. But looking at the evil spirit at the corner of his mouth, it was full of playful flavor!

  Looks like this guy just wants to get himself all tangled up? Dammit, trying to drive me crazy! I'm definitely not going to let you have your way.

  "Lai Chao, are you trying to get a scoop on my romantic history or Lu Xian Sheng's other secrets? Or do you want to know more explosive stuff?" Chen Zhi Quan said with a smug look in his eyes, glancing at Lu Xian Sheng.

  Looking at Lu Xiansheng still expressionless, Chen Zhiquan secretly shouted in his heart: "See how long you can sit still? Hmph!"

  "We all want to know, Zhiquan, hurry up and say something!" Li Chao was getting impatient.

  "Lu Xiansheng grew up in a man's den since childhood, except for having an older sister, other women were basically unable to get close to him. However, this kid has had numerous romantic encounters and has been surrounded by girls all the time. I remember when he was in elementary school, there were already girls writing love letters to him!"

  "Elementary school already?" Lei Chao's eyes were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

  "That's right, but at that time our family Lu Xuan Sheng didn't have such thoughts. Later, when he entered junior high school, the school flower and grass both came up, and I don't know why people nowadays are so fond of gossip... The previous school grass even asked him if he was willing to be his boyfriend!"

  "Pfft!" Li Luo'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, interjecting: "The previous school heartthrob? Actually likes guys? Can that even be considered a school heartthrob?"

  "It's not, I heard that guy was normal before, but after seeing the monster, even his orientation changed..." Chen Zhiquan looked at Lu Xiansheng and finally had some reaction, with a slight twitch between his eyebrows, knowing that his purpose was almost achieved.

  "What then?" Lei Chao asked further.

  "In junior high, Lu Xiansheng...” Chen Zhiquan paused for a moment, thought about it and continued to say, “In junior high, he didn't have a girlfriend, but when we went to senior high in Guozhong, that was an aristocratic school, all sorts of young ladies from noble families, rich and wealthy daughters were as numerous as clouds, those who took the initiative to pursue him were so many that even with two hands and two feet, you couldn't count them all!"

  "Speaking of which, have you ever had a girlfriend!" Li Chao was eager to know how their high school life was like, and since he heard that the mainland was well-developed, he wanted to hear something nourishing.

  "I've seen many, not to mention school beauties, even some young celebrities would throw themselves at him... He was a playboy back then, often staying out all night..."

  "Sleeping out at night? What are you doing playing outside at night?" asked Li Chao foolishly.

  "Come on, don't you understand? This is about playing with women!"

  As soon as Chen Zhiquan said this, Lu Xiansheng immediately pulled out a bottle of glass cleaner from the drawer and threw it heavily on Chen Zhiquan's body.

  "It seems that expensive things are indeed of good quality!" Chen Zhiquan picked up the glass of water and smiled with a mixture of surprise and delight.

  "Xuan Sheng brother, you didn't come home at night since high school? Uh, that... " Li Chao was indeed a bit silly and hadn't figured out the situation yet, but he still blurted out this sentence.

  Lu Xuan Sheng's tightly clenched fist rose and fell, his clear eyes scanning Li Luo Er's calm face, silently sighing, it seemed she believed him!

  "Fine, I can just go to the supermarket and be so gentle! Who wants to be brothers with you? Whoever does will be damned unlucky!" Chen Zhiquan cursed viciously, feeling extremely unfair.

  "Stop messing around, we're almost there!" Lí Luò'er said lightly, still leaning against the car window staring outside. This familiar road, she used to take it several times a day, but now, maybe for the last time...
