Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

The moonlight poured in coldly through the gaps in the curtains, like frost and snow, all white and temperatureless, forming a sharp contrast with the heat in the room.

He Xi put down the water cup in her hand. It contained her favorite pure milk. It was warm and made people feel drowsy after drinking it. She rubbed her head against Lu Jinan's shoulder.

Lu Jinan glanced at the water cup and said softly, "Are you sleepy?"

Grandma Lu also glanced at He Xi and said regretfully, "You young people can't even finish talking yet. You are really getting more and more screwed."

Lu Jinan looked at the half-drunk bottle of warm milk on the coffee table with a half-smile: "Drinking milk at night is a strong psychological suggestion for her. It's a signal she tells herself.

"It's time to go to bed. Don't give her milk next time. Try to see how strong she is."

Young people staying up late and using the most expensive cosmetics were the characteristics of He Xi's era. If they despise He Xi for being sleepy now, they will suffer in the future.

Pure milk can help you sleep, and He Xi hinted to herself that she was really a little sleepy. Blinking her sleepy eyes, she lay on Lu Jinan's shoulder and said very sincerely, "It's okay, I'll listen to you. I can hold on for a while."

Mother Lu patted He Xi's hand and said, "If you feel sleepy, go upstairs and sleep. This is the same room you stayed in last time. Everything is still the same. I'm afraid you won't be used to it, so nothing has changed."

He Xi took the hand that Lu's mother extended: "Auntie, you think so much about me, aren't you afraid that Lu Jinan will be angry?"

Mother Lu's face was tinged with a hint of loneliness: "Alas, I really envy families with daughters. They say that daughters are sweet and caring. It's better to raise a daughter. You can have someone to discuss everything, including clothes, jewelry, and skin care."

He Xi and Lu Jinan were stunned, and then they were amused by Lu's mother's cuteness. He Xi said, "My dad often says that my sister and I are little cotton-padded jackets that leak air. Wearing them in winter can freeze people to death."

Hearing this, Mother Lu waved her hands and said, "It's different. It's different in gender. You don't understand."

Everyone present was silent for a moment. This was Lu's mother's obsession. To be honest, aren't boys and girls the same? If they are well educated, they are equally caring. If they are not well educated, they are all equally annoying.

He Xi is a girl who knows very well how naughty she is. She would jump from a ten-meter-high tree to see the scenery, and she would jump when there was water under a newly built bridge. She went to her aunt's house once, but she got angry and left without saying goodbye. She would walk in the morning and get home at noon, relying entirely on her fragmentary memories of the evening to grope her way home.

I have a collection of romance novels at home, each issue costs ten yuan, and I bought them all secretly.

There was a time when I was crazy about jeans and I could never buy enough.

Girls seem to be more difficult to raise than boys.

He Xi didn't say anything for a while. She really fell asleep quietly, lying on Lu Jinan's shoulder, with her hands under her face, drowsy.

Lu Jinan couldn't help but chuckle: "It's okay, let's continue talking. We can't carry her back or she will wake up if we move her. She's tired from the car ride."

Looking at her delicate third son, Mother Lu thanked He Xi from the bottom of her heart. She had been worried that her cold and indifferent son would end up living alone, but luckily he met her, someone who made him warm and whose facial expressions could be rich with expression.

Mother Lu recalled her expressions and behaviors from the time He Xi entered the house until now, and sighed softly that it was a good thing that she had not treated He Xi badly in any way, otherwise what would she do if she didn't want San'er anymore?

"So are you planning to return to Beijing or stay in Harbin?" asked Lu's mother.

"We are only freshmen. Isn't it too hasty to talk about where we will stay in the future? These are her exact words." Lu Jinan threw the question to He Xi who was already playing chess with Zhou Gong.

The elder present glanced at He Xi's sleeping face and asked Lu Jinan with a serious expression: "She is not sure about you? As her future support, you have no plans of your own, and you also said that she does not agree with your marriage proposal."

Mother Lu glared at her husband fiercely and said, "Watch your attitude. We are analyzing their future, not making decisions for them. If you keep glaring at me, just leave."

Father Lu refused to do it. How could he not be with his wife? He could only be close to her during the New Year holidays. No matter how he made trouble, she would not be really angry. But he couldn't leave. If he left, he would lose all his benefits.

Father Lu was thick-skinned. He didn't care that Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu were still there. He approached Mother Lu and said, "I was wrong. I'll shut up. Don't chase me away."

Lu Jinan lowered his eyelids to hide the emotions in his eyes: "She is most likely staying in Harbin to be a professor. Her current research results are in a direction that her teachers have never studied before.

"She developed the first generation of products. Teaching and running a company at the same time is a way of life that she mentioned before."

Grandpa Lu hummed, ate a small cookie on the coffee table, and thought for a moment: "That's great. When I become a professor and publish a book of my own, I don't even need to turn the pages when I stand on the podium. I can teach without a script. Just thinking about it is so cool."

Grandma Lu continued Grandpa Lu's thoughts and said, "Yes, and what's more, if students don't have a place to intern, they can come to the teacher's company. It will be easy to get internship certificates, and the teacher will know you."

"And more." Mother Lu pushed Father Lu who was squeezing beside her, "When I was marking the key points for the exam, I told you that you couldn't even remember this little knowledge. The teacher knows the whole book by heart."

"The students below asked, what did they ask?"

"I proudly said, turn to the first page of the book and see if the author's name is the same as the teacher's. They nodded, and I shook my head, no, that's what I wrote."

The serious topic was once again changed by the positive and optimistic people. Lu Jinan was also deeply moved and in a good mood. He took the opportunity to express his own thoughts: "I still like mathematics. I will teach her students mathematics to avoid mistakes during the experiment."

The orange light above fell warmly on Lu Jinan's head, and the light and shadow outlined his straight nose. His narrow eyes were not only cold but also beautiful. His hair lay softly on his forehead, and his whole body revealed tenderness amidst his aloofness.

He Xi and Lu Jinan originally slept separately, but Lu Jinan actually sneaked into He Xi's room in the middle of the night. He Xi was already uneasy because he was used to sleeping in his own bed, and being disturbed by him made him even more restless.

Lu Jinan hugged He Xi from behind, put his arms around her waist, kissed her hair, and fell asleep in her arms as he wished.

He Xi couldn't do it. There was suddenly someone next to her, a hot chest, and a warm touch on the back of her head. To be honest, she was a little scared inside, but the familiar temperature told her that the "stranger" was Lu Jinan.

He Xi has a bad habit of kicking off the quilt when he feels hot. He would be freezing all night long and would cover himself with the quilt whenever he wakes up. Most of the time, he would become conscious five minutes before the alarm goes off in the morning and would get up before he even warms up.

I woke up from the cold and touched my calves, which were cold. It turns out that this is how I live all year round.

Lu Jinan was also woken up by the cold. Looking at He Xi who had kicked off the quilt clean, he smiled helplessly, grabbed the quilt to cover himself, and hugged He Xi tightly to keep each other warm.
