He secretly changed his character

While Lu Zichu was still imagining the plot, Fei Mingze and his mother's boyfriend were already chatting.

"Hi, Firog."

"Long time no see, Lopez." The two hugged each other, looking more like good brothers than those with different generations.

Lu Zichu was amazed. If his mother had found a boyfriend, he would not be so open-minded and harmonious.

This is probably due to the fact that Fei Mingze's ideas are different from his own.

After Fei Mingze greeted his mother, he formally introduced Lu Zichu to his mother and Lopez.

"Zichu, this is my mother. You can call her Carina like I do. And this is Lopez, my mother's boyfriend." Fei Mingze said, and then introduced Lu Zichu to the two of them, "This is Zichu, my partner."

Lu Zichu looked humble and shook hands with the two men one after another.

It was not until he met Lopez that Lu Zichu understood why Fei Mingze was so sure that his mother would like him. Because the tastes of the mother and son were so similar.

After exchanging greetings, the four of them sat down one after another.

Only then did Zhao Xiaotang and the other party get introduced to each other. However, due to their awkward identities and language barriers, the two sides were not very warm and just nodded to each other.

Zhao Xiaotang wanted to show off, but the others were either speaking English or Spanish. Not only could he not get a word in, even Lu Zichu was confused. Zhao Xiaotang could only eat in peace.

Lu Zichu occasionally listened to a few words, and sometimes Fei Mingze would translate them for him.

In a blink of an eye, the dinner came to an end.

Fei Mingze saw his mother and her boyfriend off, then came back and sat down again.

The servants served the dessert. Fei Mingze took a sip with his fork and said, "I will be busy these days. You can look around the manor on weekdays."

Boss Lu Zichu was not happy. You're going out by yourself, leaving me and Zhao Xiaotang at home? What's your train of thought?

"Oh." Lu Zichu responded lazily.

"The manor is very large, but there are two places you can't go to. One is my study, which is on the second floor here. The other is the tower opposite."

"I understand that you can't go to the study. But why can't you go to the tower?"

Fei Mingze smiled. "Why do you have so many questions? I can't go if I can't go."

"Oh. I can't go, and I can't tell you yet."

"Anyway, it's for your own good."

Fei Mingze pulled Lu Zichu up and said, "Good night, Miss Zhao."

After saying that, he took Lu Zichu back to the room.

When Lu Zichu woke up the next day, he did not see Fei Mingze. And for three consecutive days, he came back late at night.

Lu Zichu had nothing to do all day, but luckily he and Zhao Xiaotang were not in the same room. She was in the front yard, and he was in the inner yard, separated by two doors.

Lu Zichu was sitting in the garden, bored. His eyes unconsciously swept across the tower.

The tower is a black building, very old and weathered, with lush trumpet creepers underneath, climbing up almost the entire wall.

The tower is very tall. Although it looks like it only has three floors, it is actually taller than a five-story building. Compared with other buildings here, it stands out from the crowd. Lu Zichu suddenly thought of a fairy tale he had read in his childhood - Rapunzel.

He thought that it would be such a waste if there was no long-haired beauty in such a place.

Just as Lu Zichu was daydreaming, the window on the tower opened and a person leaned out.

It was a woman with a delicate face and long hair. Her skin was very white, so white that it seemed transparent. When the sun shone on it, it seemed to reflect light.

Lu Zichu was shocked.

Really?

Lu Zichu couldn't help but run over. The woman also saw him, leaned against the window, looked down at him with a curious look on her face.

Lu Zichu didn't expect that there would be a woman here? Moreover, Fei Mingze had expressly forbidden anyone from coming here.

He walked around the tower and finally saw a padlock in the lobby. He shook it and it was a real lock, not a fake one.

He had no choice but to return to the tower.

The woman was also curious about this stranger and asked in English, "Who are you?"

Lu Zichu hesitated and did not answer.

The woman looked at him, seemingly thinking about something, and finally asked in Chinese, "Are you from Huading?"

Her Chinese was quite fluent, and Lu Zichu was extremely curious about the cause and effect of her appearance here, and also very curious about her identity. He subconsciously asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The woman smiled sweetly, "I'm Rapunzel."

Lu Zichu asked, "Can I crawl in along your long hair?"

She rolled her eyes, gathered her hair in front of her chest, and then let it down again. She looked at it and said with some regret, "It's a pity that my hair is not long enough."

In fact, her hair is already very long.

It was almost to her knees. But it was very high. Even if it was twice as high, she would be powerless. It would be hard to write a fairy tale for Rapunzel.

Lu Zichu asked again, "What's your name?"

The woman looked in a good mood. Lu Zichu couldn't help thinking that she might have been locked up here and didn't see many people on weekdays, so she was happy when she saw him. She climbed up to the windowsill and sat there, swinging her legs. There was some innocence unique to young girls.

"My name is Susu."

Lu Zichu was horrified by what he saw. He was worried that she would fall, so he ran up to her and advised her, "Be careful. It's very high up there. If you fall, you'll die."

Su Su said sadly, "If you stayed here all day like me, you wouldn't care if you fell down."

When Lu Zichu heard her say this, he felt uncomfortable.

"Look—" Su Su came down and ran back to the house. When she reappeared, she was holding a parrot in her hand. She showed it to Lu Zichu like a treasure, "I raised it."

"Is it your pet?"

"No, it's my teacher."

"teacher?"

"I want it to teach me how to fly." Su Su's face was gloomy. "Unfortunately, I'm too stupid and I can never learn it."

“The prerequisite for learning to fly is to have a pair of wings.”

Su Su waved her hands, "Isn't this my wings?"

"No. These are hands."

Su Su listened to his words and thought, "What if feathers are attached?"

"Ah?" Lu Zichu realized that Su Su's mental state was problematic. Her perception of the world was distorted and shallow.

He was about to say something else when Su Su seemed to be inspired or influenced by something and disappeared from the window.

Lu Zichu stood there for a while, but she didn't show up again. He suddenly felt disappointed. He had no choice but to leave.

In the evening, Fei Mingze came back very late.

Lu Zichu just had dinner with Zhao Xiaotang in the front hall. The two of them were like strangers, and although they sat together, they didn't talk much.

After sleeping for a long time, Fei Mingze came back. When he came to hug him, Lu Zichu regained consciousness and murmured, "When will you finish your work?"

Fei Mingze's voice was full of fatigue. "It will take another two days."

Lu Zichu thought for a moment, opened his eyes, looked at him and tentatively said, "I went to the tower today."

Fei Mingze seemed a little embarrassed. He rubbed his neck, kissed him, and then said, "Did you see anyone?"

Lu Zichu felt his words were a bit harsh, so he lied, "No - I'm just curious. There's no one there, why wouldn't you let me go."

Fei Mingze held him in his arms and whispered, "It's haunted there."

"Haunted?"

Lu Zichu was horrified.
