Chapter 77: Peach

  On the second day of returning to Zizhushan Villa, the police station called and said that Bai Shi was fine, but some medical expenses still needed to be borne by Li Lu'er. The rest were just some veiled warnings, but there was something hidden in them that she couldn't quite grasp.

  Today's weather is unusually cool and refreshing, with a whole night of light rain, the entire air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and grass.

  The sunshine after the rain is bright and gentle, without being dazzling.

  Lai Luo'er lazily pulled open the curtains, habitually glanced down at the building below, dazedly turned around, and then dazedly turned back again.

  Lying on the window and looking out for half a day, I just found that there was an extra car in the yard.

  Although I said I don't understand cars, but I can also tell that this car is different from the ones I've seen on the street before.

  Black body, streamlined design, huh? It seems to be able to transform...

  What's the point of buying a car? It doesn't seem too far from school either.

  Let him go, it seems that a month of cycling career has already made him tired.

  What should I do?

  Her big eyes, which were dim and hazy like a cloudy day, blinked for half a day, but she still didn't know what she was thinking about.

  "What are you thinking about, miss?" Taozi didn't know when she came in and was already making the bed.

  "It's nothing, I just feel like the air is really good today, and I thought there would be a rainbow, but after waiting for half a day, it didn't come out." Li Lu'er laughed brightly, herself not even realizing when her acting skills had become so exquisite.

  "Master is waiting downstairs for Miss to have dinner, would you like me to help you comb your hair?"

  "No need, I'll do it myself." Lí Luòér grabbed the comb and casually combed her hair into a ponytail. Watching Táo Zǐ's quick movements, she couldn't help but smile and ask, "Isn't Zhì Quán and Lí Chāo here?"

  "The second master and third master have gone out for a stroll, leaving only the eldest master at home."

  "Hmm?" Lí Luòér splashed water on her face, seemingly asking and answering at the same time.

  After washing up and going downstairs, Lu Xiansheng seemed to have waited impatiently for a while. His right index finger tapped rhythmically on the dining table, making a slight noise in the quiet room.

  "Why don't you eat first?" Lí Luòér kicked off her slippers and sat down casually, smiling at him with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

  "Wait for you." Lu Xiangsheng responded calmly, touching the temperature of the glass cup with his hand, frowning slightly. Before he could speak, Ah Hua quickly came forward, picked up the milk on the table and quietly went to heat it up.

  "What did they go buy?" Lí Luòér looked at the empty room, feeling a bit unadapted to being left alone with so many strange servants.

  "Cell phone, what else do you want to bring? I'll call Lei Chao."

  "There's nothing useful and nothing to buy, what else is lacking in this house?" Lí Luòér smiled wryly and sipped the salted lemon water that Táozi had just brought up.

  "It seems you like Taozi very much. From now on, let her serve you personally." As soon as Lu Xiangsheng's voice fell, Taozi hastily stepped forward to respond and thank him.

  Looking at Li Luo's slightly awkward frowning eyebrows, Lu Xiangsheng smiled shallowly, "Maybe not used to this kind of life yet, but I think you'll get used to it."

  What kind of family is this?! What's going on?! This isn't a feudal dynasty or the early years of the Republic, how can there still be such a clear distinction between master and servant?! If I wasn't seeing it with my own eyes, I would definitely think I had traveled through time!

  Recently, Zhen Ai had been distracted, and Li Luo'er let out a faint sigh, absent-mindedly eating the food on her plate.

  "It's fine, Bai Shi Na won't be a problem anymore, and the school probably won't find out either. So tomorrow at school, don't think too much about it, but if you run into her, just avoid her for now." Lu Xiang Sheng spoke in a calm tone, but was still slightly worried inside.

  If Bai Shi were her own sister, she would have to send her to a mental hospital, otherwise, she would have to hire a psychologist to take care of her personally.

  "Why did she have to do that?" Lí Luòér stared straight at Lù Xiǎng Shèng, whose eyes were deep and unfathomable.

  "Maybe this is a fate. Hehe." Lu Xiangsheng wiped his mouth, paused for a moment, and smiled with a raised eyebrow, "Or maybe it's because I was too good to you."

  What's wrong? You're good to me...

  It seems indeed not bad for me.

  But since I met you...

  The house is gone!

  Grandpa is injured!

  First kiss is gone!

  Even his body...

  "Isn't it good?" Lu Xiangsheng looked at her with a slightly uneasy frown.

  "I didn't say it was bad." Lí Luòér dared not look him straight in the eye, hastily nodding while holding the cup of milk, but ended up scalding herself and coughed for half a day.

  Looking at her like this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head. This girl was still so clumsy.

  "They've all gone out, so where are we going now?" Li Lu'er asked her, having already put everything from just now behind her.

  "I'll buy you clothes."

  "Clothes? I have."

  "No!"

  Yes...

  Lu Xuan Sheng gazed at her puzzled expression with a faint smile, wiping his lips gloomily. "Those clothes of yours are basically unwearable. I'll take you to buy some new ones later."

  Lí Luòér stared at the home clothes he had bestowed upon her, her bewildered eyes darting about. What was this guy going to do next?

  Before she could think much about it, Lu Xiangsheng was already lying on the sofa in the living room watching the news.

  Li Luoer slowly put down her chopsticks and suddenly found that Taozi was already standing beside her.

  "Miss, go upstairs and change your clothes, or I'm afraid you'll miss the plane later." The crisp voice of Taozi echoed in her ears.

  Airplane?

  Airplane!

  I still have school tomorrow!!!!!

  "What's going on?" Li Lu'er's big eyes blinked rapidly, shining with curiosity.

  But Taozi didn't make a sound, she just habitually revealed her professional smile.

  Alright, on your turf, one has to show deference.

  What's more, I want to know too much.

  Li Luo'er smiled lightly and followed Taozi upstairs, sitting obediently in front of the dresser like a child, letting her do as she pleased.

  "What about my clothes?" Lí Luòér asked Táo Zǐ.

  The peach blossoms have already given Li Luo'er an answer with their gentle rustling.

  Yes, those clothes of mine don't match this home at all.

  Li Luo smiled and asked softly, "Then what should I wear?"

  "The young master is ready." Taohua opened the wardrobe, quickly found the position, and walked over with a clothes rack in her left hand and a tray in her right.

  Carelessly turning back, Li Luoer suddenly felt a discomfort in her eyes, and she tilted her head to the side, trying not to recall or look.

  "Let go, I'll wear it."

  "I'll go out first, Miss has something to call me, I'm at the door." Taozi said and immediately went out of the door.

  Li Luo'er looked at the blue dress on the bed and smiled wryly.

  This is the first time he gave his own gift.

  This is the most heart-moving skirt she has ever worn in her life.

  That's not all.

  The lingerie under the tray was her favorite when she strolled around Ladies' Street that day.

  She clearly remembered that her gaze had only stayed there for a moment.

  Embarrassed, he turned back, but didn't say a word.

  The hair band on the tray.

  It was on that day when I had to let go of something I couldn't bear to part with but had no choice.

  He had promised himself that one day he would get it.

  She was originally full of joyful anticipation, but when she saw Bai Shi, she began to learn how to forget, forgetting the promise he made.

  These three things are all my favorites.

  Tears fell as she sat on the edge of the bed, holding the only things he had left behind.

  Don't know whether to be happy or sad.

  This way makes me wonder whether I should love you or not.

  If love, who will teach me how to love.

  Gently wiping away tears, Lí Luòér put on this blue dress.

  Carefully put on a hair band, matching the peach-shaped hairpin she had braided into a scorpion braid.

  Staring at herself in the mirror, she forced a smile by pulling up the corners of her mouth.

  "Peach." She called out softly.

  "Miss is really beautiful." Taozi stood behind Lier and sincerely praised her.

  "Are you going to put on makeup?" Lí Luòér asked.

  "Huh? Ah! Okay... Miss, I'll help you with your makeup." Taozi was momentarily stunned, and after regaining her composure, her hands still trembled slightly.

  "Peach?" Lí Luòér closed her eyes tightly, letting her match colors and apply eye shadow for herself.

  "Yes, miss?"

  "What time did you arrive at Lujia?" Although Li Lu'er seemed to be asking casually, she actually wanted to know more about Lu Xiangsheng's private life, especially - women.

  "My father is the driver of Old Master Lu, my mother has passed away, and Old Master Lu is kind, he took me back home, since I was young, I have been growing up in the Lu family, although it's obviously different from the young masters, but this is all my willing..."

  "Is Lu Xiansheng good to you?"

  "Alright, although young master has been quiet since childhood and is not as charming as his older brother, he's particularly good to us. Even though his expression always seems cold."

  "You're so good at makeup, are you often doing makeup for others, huh?" Lí Luòér finally successfully brought the topic over.

  "Of course, when there's nothing to do, I put on makeup. These were all taught by Meiyu-sama, and when I was younger, I would always help Meiyu-sama with her makeup. But after Meiyu-sama's coming-of-age ceremony, she basically did it herself. For important dinners or meetings, we wouldn't even be needed, since there are professional makeup artists."

  "Hehe, can't see any awkwardness at all. Still drawing so well." Li Luo'er smiled lightly, indeed, this face in her hands was even more delicate.

  "I was doing makeup for Miss Ying before I came, and I used to do it for Zi Xi too..." Taozi held the setting powder, looking at Lei Luo'er in the mirror, her fingers trembling involuntarily, her words trailing off.

  "What's wrong, Peach?" Liruo'er gently shook her.

  "No...no." Peach suddenly trembled all over, and as she placed the powder puff on the dresser, her face had turned deathly pale with not a hint of blood.

  "What's wrong?" Lí Luòér pressed her into the chair, anxiously asking.

  Touching the peach's fingers was like a thousand years of ice cave, and it was chillingly cold.

  Taozi made a great effort to nod her head, looking up at Lailuo with a choked voice: "Miss, please treat Young Master well, he really can't afford to be hurt again..."

  Li Luo squatted down and looked at her, seeming to understand something, but also seeming to understand nothing.
