Autumn water is long

The sweat from the fever subsided soaked the bedding, Lu Ting shivered and woke up.

After the high fever subsided, physical weakness was unavoidable, Lu Ting shook his head, and pulled out some useful things from a large area of ​​fuzzy memories last night.

He remembered that he seemed to have a nightmare after falling asleep last night, and he couldn't remember the content of the dream, but when he opened his eyes from the nightmare, he saw Qiu Yibei's face in reality.

Thinking of this, Lu Ting sneered, everything revealed by Qiu Yibei's face can be said to be no longer concealed, if she looks in the mirror, Qiu Yibei will definitely find that she has revealed herself.

Although Lu Ting couldn't remember what he yelled in his dream to make Qiu Yibei show such a hateful expression, but the eyes of Qiu Yibei at that time could be said to want to swallow him alive.

Lu Ting propped himself up on the bed and sat up, suddenly felt a dull pain in his right ankle.He pulled back the quilt, and saw that his right ankle, which was wearing a red rope, was slightly red and swollen, and there were faint teeth marks on it.

Lu Ting pressed his temple to recall, he didn't seem to remember when Qiu Yibei left such a mark on him last night.

However, he found that no matter which time it was, Qiu Yibei would always leave marks on him to varying degrees.Different from the gland mark, it is the real Qiuyibei that brings Lu Ting large or small injuries.

Whether it was the first waist injury, or this time the ankle.

Qiu Yibei seems to have a... unexplainable weird possessiveness towards him.

"Fever gone?" Qiu Yibei pushed open the door and stood at the door at some point.

Lu Ting withdrew his thoughts, raised his head and smiled, "The fever is gone, thank you Boss Qiu for taking care of me so hard."

Qiu Yibei seemed to have gotten used to Lu Ting's understated smile, without any unnecessary expression on his face, and said, "Get up and eat."

After Lu Ting was fully dressed, as soon as he left the bedroom, he was surprised by the amount of plates on the dining table.

"Morning...do you want to eat so much?"

Qiu Yibei placed the bowls and chopsticks, without looking up: "I asked the doctor, although the patient needs to eat light, but it still needs to be properly supplemented with nutrition."

For the word "proper", Qiu Yibei seems to have some misunderstandings.Lu Ting looked at the six or seven plates on the table, feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.

He sat down and looked at everything.

In front of him was a bowl of millet porridge sprinkled with goji berries, and next to him were a vegetarian bun and a sandwich.

In the middle is a cup of soy milk soaked in oatmeal, two plates of stir-fried side dishes, and a small bowl of milky white paste-like liquid, with a little sweet-scented osmanthus dotted on it, but I can't tell it's...

"Almond cheese," Qiu Yibei said along Lu Ting's gaze, "patients will feel bitter in their mouths, and the slightly sweet taste can refresh your taste buds."

After Qiu Yibei brought a cup of soy milk for himself, Lu Ting thought he was finally going to sit down, but Qiu Yibei turned and went into the kitchen again.

After a burst of crackling, Qiu Yibei held a sweet and sour fried egg in her left hand, and held a boiled egg in her right hand as if she was not afraid of being scalded.

The sweet and sour omelette was naturally placed in front of Lu Ting, Qiu Yibei said: "The patient's diet should not be too greasy, so I put very little oil this time, the sweet and sour is normal, it may not be so delicious, but you'd better Eat it, get your protein."

Facing the table, Lu Ting sighed: "Boss Qiu's kindness, if I waste it, I'm really ignorant."

After finishing speaking, Lu Ting reached out to eat the sweet and sour fried eggs, but Qiu Yibei snatched away the plate.

Lu Ting looked up suspiciously.

Qiu Yibei took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and said flatly, "Drink a few mouthfuls of porridge on an empty stomach before eating anything else."

During this breakfast, Lu Ting's belly was warm, and he felt that his heart was also burning.

The breakfast in the Lu mansion is always deserted, or it may be in chaos.

Every morning, he would personally feed Jiang Fangyue a spoonful of breakfast, because Jiang Fangyue would eat her breakfast obediently only when Lu Ting was by her side.

But when Jiang Fangyue finished eating, Lu Ting himself lost his appetite, and he didn't want to bother the housekeeper to reheat the milk and toast.He casually stuffed a few mouthfuls of toast, took a sip of cold milk before going to work, and walked out of the Lu mansion before he could swallow the food in his mouth.

It is almost the same to say that it is to go, but to escape.

Without Jiang Fangyue, he didn't want to stay in the Lu mansion for another second.

This is the first time that Lu Ting slowly tastes every home-cooked breakfast that seems to be ordinary with the attitude of enjoying food.

While burying his head in the porridge, Lu Ting secretly raised his eyes to look at Qiu Yibei.

Qiu Yibei is also eating seriously with her head down.

His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his muscular forearms.

Qiu Yibei's hands are very big, and people with big hands may not be so careful when doing delicate work. For example, the boiled egg in Qiu Yibei's hand has changed from a blown bomb to the surface of the moon.

Lu Ting stretched out his hand.

Qiu Yibei: "?"

"Eggs are so wasted by you, be careful that the hen settles accounts with you." Lu Ting joked.

He took the egg from Qiu Yibei's hand, and carefully peeled off every piece of eggshell bit by bit.

From the corner of his head, he caught a glimpse of his feet without socks, and naturally saw the red rope.

The blue zircon on the top, which is responsible for connecting the head and tail of the red rope, shone like a star from time to time under the sunlight under the table, vying to enter Lu Ting's eyes as if competing for favor.

Lu Ting lowered his head and continued to "carve" this appalling egg seriously, and asked, "The red string, did you weave it by yourself?"

"En." Qiu Yibei nodded.

"From this egg, I really can't see that your hands are so skillful. The traditional red rope craftsmanship in Wutong is very complicated, and the hook line of your red rope is not inferior to that of an old craftsman."

Qiu Yibei: "I did ask some veteran craftsmen in Wutong."

The peeled egg was put back into Qiu Yibei's hands.

Lu Ting wiped his hands, feeling that he couldn't eat anymore, so he stared at the last bite of almond cheese left in the bowl.He doesn't like sweets, but he has to admit that the bowl of almond cheese made by Qiu Yibei is delicious.

Qiu Yibei noticed Lu Ting's tangled eyes, "Patients are limited, there is no chance to eat next time."

With that said, Qiu Yibei was about to take away the bowl of almond cheese.

Lu Ting quickly snatched it back, pulled it into his mouth two or three times, and contentedly handed the empty bowl to Qiu Yibei's palm, his cheeks bulging slightly, and smiled at Qiu Yibei triumphantly.

Because he ate a little fast, some almond cheese got on his mouth, and Qiu Yibei stared at the corner of Lu Ting's mouth in a daze.

Lu Ting didn't know what Qiu Yibei was looking at, swallowed the almond cheese in his mouth, and just about to raise his hand, Qiu Yibei stretched out his hand, lightly resting Lu Ting's chin with his index finger, and gently gave him the thumb with his thumb. Wiped off the stains from the corners of the mouth.

Then Qiu Yibei lowered her head and wiped her hands, and said flatly: "You had a nightmare in the middle of the night."

Lu Ting paused, and immediately flashed the fierce hatred towards him in Qiu Yibei's eyes last night.

Lu Ting smiled dryly: "I don't remember, did I talk in my sleep?"

"Say it." Qiu Yibei's voice became deeper.

"What did you say?"

"You're saying sorry."

I'm sorry... Lu Ting's heart trembled slightly. In fact, he himself knew that apart from this sentence in his sleep, he really had nothing else to say.

Lu Ting twitched the corners of his mouth, and said perfunctorily: "In the nightmare, there really is nothing good."

Qiu Yibei didn't seem to want to let go of this topic, "You really don't remember what you dreamed about?"

"I don't remember." Lu Ting shook his head.

Qiu Yibei: "You said a lot of sorry, to many people, but your last sentence of sorry is to yourself."

Lu Ting frowned: "Myself?"

Qiu Yibei didn't hold back the aggressiveness in her gaze: "You cried and said: 'Lu Ting, I'm sorry.'"

-

"Just put me down here." Lu Ting said to Qiu Yibei.

Qiu Yibei stepped on the brakes, and the red Bentley stopped three or four meters away from Lu's mansion.

Lu Ting got out of the car and closed the door, but Qiu Yibei pushed down the window.

Qiu Yibei probed to stop Lu Ting.

Lu Ting turned around.

"Remember one sentence: you have a husband." After a few seconds of pause, Qiu Yibei said such a sentence without thinking.

Lu Ting: "?"

Qiu Yibei obviously didn't want to explain, so he changed his expression and said instead: "I'll pick you up tomorrow, and you can give me some advice on drafting the transfer contract."

Lu Ting nodded slightly puzzled, and watched the Bentley that Liang Shaoze had lent to Qiu Yibei, but now it was no different from Qiu Yibei's own car, leave slowly.

Thinking about not understanding the intention of Qiu Yibei's words just now, Lu Ting simply stopped looking into it.He glanced back at the dense iron gate of the Lu mansion, then turned and walked in the direction of leaving the Lu mansion.

On weekdays, Lu Ting used a car instead of a car, but today he walked out of the villa area slowly, took to the street, and came to a toy store.

He opened the door familiarly. When the boss was entertaining other guests, he saw Lu Ting, and his expression immediately turned down, but he still put on a professional smile when he turned around to pay other guests.

Lu Ting went straight to a corner of the toy store without being entertained by the boss, and took out a brown teddy bear from the bottom of a large pile of colorful toys.

This teddy bear is exactly the same as the little bear that Jiang Fangyue hugs every night when she sleeps, except the one in Jiang Fangyue's arms is crippled.

The boss curled his lips and said angrily: "The price has increased, sixty!"

Lu Ting smiled, "Yes."

He didn't care about the price, took out his mobile phone to pay, took a free plastic bag, put it in and left.

The other guests hadn't left yet, and when they saw that such a small teddy bear, not as long as its forearm, was going to be sixty, they opened their mouths unconsciously.

The boss quickly explained: "The bear is a style from more than ten years ago. Except for him who comes here every year, no one else buys it. Not to mention the space, I have to find a manufacturer to produce it for him."

After hearing this, the guest asked his own question: "Then why didn't you refuse him? Still want to buy?"

The boss was speechless for a moment.

The guests who came were a couple. When the girl saw the boss being questioned by her boyfriend, she snorted coldly and satirized the boss angrily: "What else could it be? Buy as much as you want."

Now this "stupid man with a lot of money" Mr. Lu returned to Lu's mansion with the teddy bear he bought.

Lu Ting didn't enter the villa, but went around a circle and went to the small garden behind the Lu mansion.The little garden was kept neat and tidy, not a single flower, not even a weed.

Lu Zhengting did not allow flowers to grow in the garden, but neither did he allow a single weed to grow.

Just as Lu Ting was about to push open the small fence in the garden, he saw Lu Yuan not far away, coming towards him in a wheelchair.

"For more than ten years, you are still unshakable." Lu Yuan said.

Lu Ting didn't want to think about what he had learned about Su Yu the night before, so he turned around with an indifferent expression: "Isn't that the same, big brother?"

Lu Yuan didn't answer directly, "Now I can understand why you married Qiu Yibei just after meeting him. He is indeed very attractive."

"Brother likes it?" Lu Ting asked back.

Hearing Lu Ting's question, Lu Yuan didn't react too much, his eyelids drooping.

He has been sick all year round, and the large bruises under his eyes have penetrated into his skin layer by layer, even the thin upper eyelids are not spared.

"Is my liking important in this family?" Lu Yuan raised his jaw slowly, his dark eyelids were folded in, and the gloomy aura on him was restrained.

However, Lu Ting looked at the whites of Lu Yuan's slightly raised eyes, and his breathing was still tight.

Lu Yuan stopped looking at Lu Ting, lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "You are the omega of the Lu family outside, you are the one who is qualified to marry the alpha outside, you are the one who is healthy, and you are still the one who can work by Dad's side." , and it can only be you. A person who can’t even stand on his own and stand at eye level with others is not allowed to have the emotion of ‘like’.”

"Brother, do you think I can have it?"

Lu Ting took a deep breath: "As an alpha, being forced to pretend to be an omega, marrying an alpha, and finally being shamefully temporarily marked, are these things worthy of my elder brother's envy?"

"Envy? No, I hate you. It's great to hate your life. I hate you for being so good at robbing. Lu Ting, don't you feel guilty when you look at everything you have now? How can you sleep at night?" Lu Ting Yuan Yuan seemed to speak slowly, but the hatred between the words seemed to pierce Lu Ting's heart with thousands of arrows.

Lu Yuan really hated him very much, not only did he hate Lu Ting, he also hated himself for being so unbelievable, having such a broken body, hating himself for being an omega that Lu Zhengting didn't want to see.

This kind of Lu Yuan, Lu Ting has seen too many times in these years.

Sometimes, Lu Yuan's defense of him in front of Lu Zhengting made him think that Lu Yuan was actually just a gentle and kind brother who was not favored by God.But the extreme hatred that Lu Yuan showed towards him from time to time made Lu Ting sober again.

He remembered Jiang Fangyue's psychiatrist's words: Don't try to find love from your distorted family relationships.

"Thanks to my elder brother's 'teaching' before my bed every night," Lu Ting said lightly, "In the past 20 years, I really haven't had a good night's sleep."

After saying this, Lu Ting left Lu Yuan behind, turned around and went straight into the small garden.

The garden is not big, but there is no flower or grass to make the garden look empty and desolate.

Especially, a dead tree standing in the center.

I can't tell the species, but the diameter of the trunk is comparable to a big watermelon, so it should be quite old.

Lu Ting picked up a shovel from a corner of the garden, walked under the tree, and inserted the shovel into the soil one by one.It's just that the shovel was only inserted a few centimeters at a time, and Lu Ting was overly cautious in shoveling the soil.

Half an hour later, the soil layer loosened a few inches, and a corner of the thing under the soil was exposed, which was a light gray jar.

Lu Ting took out the small jar, patted the dust on it, put it aside gently, and continued digging.

A brown old-fashioned suitcase was dug out by Lu Ting.

When I opened the suitcase, what I found was a pile of neatly stacked bears that were exactly the same as the ones Lu Ting bought.

Counting down, there are 22 of them.

Under these little bears, several pieces of children's clothes were placed flat, which should have been in the past many years, because the color seemed to have faded a lot.

Lu Ting took out the bears he bought today, and put in the No.20 three.

He buckled the suitcase again, put it back into the pit, and turned his eyes to the light gray ceramic altar.

He seemed to be stroking the head of a child, and gently patted the lid of the altar.

He said: "There was a delay, I was late. Happy 23rd birthday, Lu Ting."
