She came with the light

Cheng Xiaoxiao's watery eyes were sparkling.

"I didn't expect that we would be apart for so many years." Lu Li whispered, "I left the country without saying goodbye to you, and now that I'm back, you've left the country again."

Lu Li lowered his head and grilled the meat. He stopped talking, but the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

Cheng Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of roasted meat and put it on the plate in front of Lu Li. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Aren't we all back now?"

These few days, Cheng Xiaoxiao heard about Lu Li's mother from her mother.

At this moment, Cheng Xiaoxiao saw Lu Li's aura was getting low, raised her eyes and said again, "Lu Li, let's eat, these things are all in the past."

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know how to bring up the matter of Lu Li's mother, and Lu Li had never mentioned it in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao.

Cheng Xiaoxiao could only pretend she didn't know and pointed at the barbecue, "You grilled the meat really well. Your skills have improved by leaps and bounds!"

Only then did a smile appear in the corners of Lu Li's eyes.

He raised his eyebrows proudly, "Really? It's grilled pretty well, right? Try it."

Cheng Xiaoxiao picked up the meat slices with chopsticks, dipped it in a little sauce, and put it directly into her mouth.

She chewed and raised her hand to praise, "It's really good, so fragrant. You should try it too."

Lu Li picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it directly into his mouth. "Not bad. Next time you want to eat barbecue, I will grill it for you."

"Hahaha. Okay. I'd like to trouble the president of Wansheng Group to help with the barbecue. I'm really flattered." Cheng Xiaoxiao joked.

Lu Li glanced at Cheng Xiaoxiao and said, "Don't give me that. Have you done this kind of thing less often?"

"Hahahahaha, that's right. I'll trouble Mr. Lu to take care of me from now on." As she said that, Cheng Xiaoxiao burst into laughter.

Lu Li looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao's happy expression and started laughing too, with the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc.

When Lu Li smiled, his cold expression softened a lot.

"You look better when you smile. Smile more in the future. Don't look so sullen." Cheng Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of Lu Li's mouth.

Lu Li was caught off guard, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

Cheng Xiaoxiao's fingers had gently slid across Lu Li's cheek. Feeling the warmth of Cheng Xiaoxiao's fingertips, Lu Li's heartbeat unconsciously quickened a few beats.

His heart tightened and he reached out to grab Cheng Xiaoxiao's hand.

As soon as Lu Li's hand reached mid-air, he felt something was wrong and took it back without making a sound.

Cheng Xiaoxiao still had a smile in the corner of her eyes and did not notice anything unusual about Lu Li.

"Hurry up and eat the barbecue. What are you standing there for?" Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Li sitting there quietly and couldn't help but remind him.

Lu Li then seemed to wake up from a dream.

The warmth from Cheng Xiaoxiao's fingertips just now seemed to still linger on Lu Li's cheek. Lu Li wanted so much to just grab Cheng Xiaoxiao's hand and never let go.

"Eat, eat more. Why are you still standing there like an idiot?" Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Li in surprise.

Lu Li was apparently grilling the meat just now, but now he looked distraught.

"Are you okay?" Cheng Xiaoxiao thought Lu Li was thinking about his mother again.

Lu Li came back to his senses, "It's okay, let's eat."

The meal was quickly finished. Cheng Xiaoxiao talked like a chatterbox from the beginning to the end.

Lu Li just smiled faintly, listened attentively, and occasionally added a few words of his opinions.

Cheng Xiaoxiao kept talking throughout the whole meal.
