My whole family is the protagonist, and I am the only cannon fodder!

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Give me some time."

Fang Li interrupted him hurriedly, his mind was confused by such a long string of words. He had some clues just now, but now it was a mess again. He didn't understand how this matter was related to Sister Lu Qingwan.

"Which sister are you talking about? Shen Xiyan?" Fang Li frowned so hard that a fly could be pinched to death. "Isn't she still studying in another city?"

"What does it have to do with Shen Xiyan?" Jiang Shen was puzzled. "Of course it's Lu Zaozao."

His brain was completely non-functioning and Fang Li was stunned, as if he had learned a shocking secret.

Jiang Shen pulled his hand out of his hand at this time and said in a neutral tone: "It's fine to just listen to it, but it's better to forget it after listening. Let Lu Qingwan act however she wants. After all, acting too much will make her tired. Just be more tolerant."

Walking out of the mansion gate, Jiang Shen felt a thin layer of sweat immediately covering his skin, which had been cold in the box just now, as the hot wind blew outside. The temperature difference between inside and outside was too great, and Jiang Shen sneezed involuntarily - his first reaction was that someone was openly cursing him behind his back.

What a cheapskate.

So now I need to send a message to the stingy guy immediately.

The person who loves eating the most in the world: [I’m back! ]

[I have already booked a place in advance, and I guarantee it will suit your taste. Please come and have dinner with me! ]

After a few seconds, the other party replied immediately.

Z: [Yes.]

Jiang Shen was so excited that he typed quickly, "How did you know I was back? You care about me so much and you're still paying attention to my schedule!"

Z; [What do you think]

In just four words, without any expressions or symbols, Jiang Shen could already imagine the other party's cold face and disdain.

Well, Jiang Shen admitted that he counted down on WeChat Moments every day for two weeks before his return. On the day of his return, he even posted a photo with the flight information, with the time highlighted in bold, and posted it every half an hour, completely flooding the screen with messages.

Despite this, Jiang Shen still had no guilt. He ignored the other person's words and quickly typed the next line of words.

[Please come out as soon as possible, don't leave me alone waiting here. ]

Attached was a very cute cat please emoticon and a bunch of messy emoticons, but it was quickly withdrawn. If it is posted again, it will probably be deleted and blocked.

We arrived at the restaurant that had been booked in advance. It was a Western restaurant. It was said that the chef and pastry chef were very famous and had won many international awards. They were specially hired with a high salary.

After sitting there waiting for more than an hour, the other party finally arrived. She was wearing a black long dress, and her eyebrows and eyes were like the cold landscapes in classical paintings. She had a deep sense of tranquility and gentleness, and there was no expression on her face. Even though she was so late, she did not look ashamed.

Jiang Shen was still saying bad things about her over an hour ago, but now he saw her in person. He found it very funny and said without hesitation, "I'm late but I didn't even say sorry, Miss Lu Qingwan. I'm very disappointed in you."

"Is it necessary?"

"No need." Jiang Shen shrugged, and then said, "I had a small dinner with a group of junior high school classmates when I came back in the afternoon. I heard that a boy in your school had his hand pierced through by glass fragments. We still don't know who the murderer is."

He smiled sincerely after saying this, "I guessed it was your work right away."

"So?" Lu Qingwan asked indifferently, "You called me out just to tell me about this?"

"How is that possible?" Jiang Shen pushed a cup of blueberry frozen lemon in front of her, holding his chin with both hands and looking at her, "It's been too long since we last met, and I miss you so much. If you don't come out, I'll run to your house to find you, hold up a banner and shout at your door, add some background music, and everything will be ready."

"nerve."

"Mad man." Jiang Shen shot back with a smile, "You always go too far. I wonder what you're going to do next time if you can't handle it."

"If you die, there will be no closure."

"..." Although Jiang Shen knew Lu Qingwan's character, he would still be surprised by her words occasionally. He said softly, "You always act very well in front of others, like a fairy who is not concerned with worldly things and has a beautiful and kind heart. Next time, act like that in front of me too."

"Otherwise, you keep saying such cruel things to me with such a gentle face. The sense of disconnection is too strong. I have the urge to punch you to death."

Lu Qingwan looked at her and said calmly, "Just gouge out their eyes."

"..."

Forget it, that’s it for now, let’s eat first.

The table was filled with dishes. After staying abroad for too long, Jiang Shen had lost most of his interest in Western food. Besides, he ate so much at noon that he hadn't digested even half of it. His stomach was still bloated, and it would probably take a whole night to digest it all.

Almost all the food on this table was ordered for Lu Qingwan. I can’t guarantee that she will like it, because Lu Qingwan doesn’t like anything at all, except for her sister.

I can only say that I'm relatively not disgusted, and I don't know if the other person's taste has changed after not seeing him for nearly a year.

He cut all the steaks on the plate into thin strips and pushed them in front of Lu Qingwan.

Lu Qingwan just glanced at it lightly and looked away. From beginning to end, she didn't even pick up the knife and fork. She just took two or three sips of the fresh juice in front of her.

"Have you had dinner?"

"No."

"Then why don't you eat?" Jiang Shen picked up the menu again, ready to have someone take all these things away and replace them with a new batch.

"I don't have much appetite." Lu Qingwan gently stroked the pattern of the tablecloth in front of her with her fingertips and said in a leisurely tone, "I came to this restaurant not long ago with my brother to celebrate his birthday."

"Your eldest brother, he has never really liked celebrating his birthday."

"It's because I didn't love him that I brought him here to celebrate." Lu Qingwan's tone was very light, with a hint of laughter, "There must be a reason why he didn't love his birthday."

"Either his parents don't get along, or his family circumstances make him not be treated well since he was a child, so this day seems insignificant. Or something particularly embarrassing and sad happened to him on this day, so he resists the arrival of this day so much."

Lu Qingwan's eyes were bright, and her tone was casual when she spoke, even smiling, but her eyes were dark.

"The possibility of the former is zero, so it must be the latter."
