Candy cubes crackling

After Marshal Lu was sent to a German hospital for emergency rescue, he fell into a severe coma and became a vegetative state. According to the attending doctor, the chance of waking up was very low.Lu Liuyun leaned against the wall with two bloody handprints, his eyes were red, and he choked up with a hoarse voice.After Zhou Hengxi accompanied Marshal Lu into the ICU, he took off his woolen coat to cover Lu Liuyun's head and face, and sent him back to the mansion in a concealed manner.

After Lu Liuyun entered the door, he still didn't say a word, and sat on the chair blankly, as if he had lost his soul.Zhou Hengxi saw that his body was covered with dust and blood, so he dragged him to the bathroom to put hot water.After a pool of hot water was put away, Zhou Hengxi tested the temperature of the water with his hands before letting Lu Liuyun take a bath in peace.

Lu Liuyun sat in the bathtub with his knees in his arms and was lost in thought. Zhou Hengxi put shampoo on his palm and slowly rubbed his hair.Lu Liuyun sat obediently in the bathtub, like an oil painting that had been stripped of bright colors, leaving only black and white in his eyes, adorned indifferently on his face with drooping eyelashes.

Zhou Hengxi scrubbed him silently, when suddenly a tear fell on the back of his hand.He lowered his head and saw Lu Liuyun's eyelashes trembling slightly.Zhou Hengxi didn't say anything, and turned on the shower to rinse the foam from his head. Lu Liuyun took advantage of this gap, and tears rolled down his cheeks unscrupulously along the hot water, silently.

After taking a bath, Zhou Hengxi carried Lu Liuyun, who was wrapped in a bath towel, into the bedroom, and when the quilt covered him, Lu Liuyun closed his eyes tiredly, as if he was very tired.Zhou Hengxi sat on the edge of the bed and waited for his breathing to gradually become even, rubbed his sore brows, got up and walked out.When he got to the door, he turned around and took a look at Lu Liuyun who was sleeping soundly, and gently closed the door.

After going out, Zhou Hengxi leaned against the door frame and smoked.He hasn't touched this stuff for a long time. The last time he smoked it was the night before going to France. He sat on the steps of the compound in the residential area and picked one by one. Throw it into the suitcase, and take out the cigarettes to relieve your worries when you are ready to get on the boat.

Zhou Hengxi never tried to persuade Lu Liuyun from the beginning to the end. It is a good thing to be able to cry, and it is better than being unable to think about it.No matter how beautiful the words are, it is useless. When the sky falls, someone must find a way to prop it up.For them, in the current situation, it is more useful to learn to face it than to express comfort.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hengxi exhaled a choking white mist from his lips. He leaned his back on the door frame and coughed lightly in his throat, then snuffed out the half-burned cigarette butt with his hands.

He fell into a drowsy sleep until night, when Lu Liuyun lay on the bed, he opened his eyes and saw the darkness, then closed them hastily.After a long time, when he opened his eyes again, he sighed silently, lifted the quilt, got up and began to put the clothes on his body.Zhou Mansion was surprisingly quiet, Lu Liuyun walked into the corridor, saw the door of the study room was wide open, walked over to see that Zhou Hengxi was indeed here.He bent his fingers and knocked on the door. Zhou Hengxi, who was in a trance, raised his head and saw him, and asked with his brows furrowed slowly, "Are you up?"

Lu Liuyun said "hmm", and walked in with his hands in his pajama pants pockets, "There is no news outside, right?"

"No." Zhou Hengxi picked up the kettle on the table and wanted to pour him a cup of hot tea, but when he found that the water in it had run out of steam, he put the kettle back on the corner of the table.

"The situation outside is not very good now. Let's suppress the matter of Dad's distress first, and keep it hidden for as long as possible." Lu Liuyun sat half his butt next to the table, thought for a while and then said, "Then Or else, the eldest sister is pregnant with a child, so she cannot be allowed to know what happened at home."

Zhou Hengxi nodded to him, and said, "I have called the German hospital just now, and Xiao Zhu will also send people to observe the situation of the general every day."

After finishing speaking, he paused, and continued to add, "It's just that Wuyuezhou is too cunning, and Xiao Zhu can't find his den for a while. If we want to find out his current background, we're afraid It will take some time."

When Lu Liuyun heard the news, he stood in front of the table and secretly clenched his hands, pursed his lips and did not respond.After a long time, he just said "um", walked behind the table and sat down on the chair next to Zhou Hengxi.

After that day, the news of Marshal Lu's accident was strictly controlled, except for a few important officials, no one else was able to disclose the news.And Qiao Muxi received a telegram communication from Lu Liuyun, and rushed over from outside the customs by train overnight.

After Qiao Muxi arrived at the ground, he handed over the luggage to the servants to pack, and went to the German hospital by himself in a car to visit his unconscious old friend in a low-key manner.Marshal Lu was lying in the intensive care unit in either good or bad condition, he just took a hard breath and didn't let go.Qiao Muxi looked at this heroic elder brother, who was lying quietly on the hospital bed, feeling sour in his heart, and sighed silently.

After Lu Liuyun knew that Qiao Muxi was coming, he quietly went back to the Marshal's Mansion to wait for him.He walked cautiously along the way, because Miura Xinjiu took out the public welfare association to make a fuss, and the hostility towards him from the outside continued, and now Lu Liuyun could not even return to his own family.

When the car drove to the back door, Qiao Muxi walked into Lu's study and had a detailed talk with Lu Liuyun. During this period, he mentioned that Marshal Lu arranged for his son to go abroad, and euphemistically expressed his hope that Lu Liuyun would go abroad on this cusp of wind and waves. Go hide.But Lu Liuyun sat across from the sofa and thought about it, but he didn't agree to Qiao Muxi.Right now, his father is lying in the intensive care unit, and the people hiding in the dark are watching and trying to make trouble.

Seeing Lu Liuyun's hesitation, Qiao Muxi sat on the sofa and said to him, "Son, if you stay in the green hills, you won't have to worry about firewood. If you want to succeed, you must pay attention to the word "forbearance". If you insist on staying in the It's hard to beat here, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk steadily in the future."

What he said is very realistic. Now the important officials in Tianjin who can come up to help the Lu family will avoid the Lu family if they know that something happened to the commander-in-chief, let alone those who catch the slightest hint of wind and pretend to be deaf. The family is big.

After hearing this, Lu Liuyun sat on the sofa without saying a word, Qiao Muxi understood his intentions, sat across from him and pondered deeply, but managed to think of a compromise.It's just...he glanced up at Lu Liuyun, and decided to make things better for what he was going to say next.

"Nephew, since you intend to guard the Lu family in Tianjin, you must be in urgent need of contacts at this moment. Although I have few hard connections in this city of Tianjin, there is one who can barely get it. The relative on the table... If you don't mind that person's soft words, I can pass the message on my behalf."

"Uncle Qiao is serious. Now that our family is in such a situation, others will walk around when they see it. If someone is willing to help, it will be a great blessing. How can there be any talk of mind?" Lu Liuyun heard this. If there is no time to explore, I hurriedly agreed, and asked Qiao Muxi to lead the way.

Qiao Muxi saw that he should be straightforward, so he stopped talking. After leaving Lu's house, he took a car to the hotel where he was staying and called the "relevant relative" in Tianjin.

"Qin Mansion, who are you looking for?" After the call was made, the mother of the Qin family, who was in charge of cleaning chores, learned that it was Qiao Muxi who was calling, and hurriedly answered, "Hey, wait Wait, I'm going to ask my wife to come over and answer the phone."

Qiao Muxi waited patiently for a while with the receiver in his hand, and heard the voice of his cousin and niece Jiao Didi on the other end of the phone, "Hello, uncle, it's me, Anna."

The young cousin and niece of the Qiao family originally came from a mediocre family that was not enough to make people look at her differently. Later, she married an officer surnamed Qin from a Tianjin family and became a successor.Ms. Qiao successfully stepped into the coveted upper class circle, and her status immediately rose a lot, and she was very wooing to those distant relatives who could be ranked high.

After Qiao Muxi heard this very recognizable voice, he gave an indifferent "hmm" and began to explain why he was called.

"This... oh, okay, okay." Joanna listened to her uncle's instructions, her face went through a process of changing from cloudy to sunny, and she finally hung up after Qiao Muxi contentedly The phone call, I was very happy in my heart.

Ms. Qiao has always liked to look at people through her nostrils after she climbed to the top. At first, she was a little unhappy when she heard that her uncle asked her for help, but when the other end of the phone heard that the handsome son was introduced, she immediately changed her expression , and promised the matter with a smile.She is a person who is good at estimating the value. She is close to Lu Liuyun's level of wealth and status, and suddenly feels that there is a lot to gain. She hangs up the phone and rolls her eyes, and she has a big idea in her heart.

Not long after, Lu Liuyun came to visit with high-end dim sum, and was warmly received by Ms. Qiao.After entering the door, he didn't see the dignitary surnamed Qin. He heard that it was a coincidence that he was on a business trip to Beijing.Sitting on the sofa, Lu Liuyun felt a little embarrassed facing the room full of female family members of the Qin family. He coughed lightly, and found an excuse to shirk his visit at another day, but Ms. Qiao kindly persuaded him to stay and insisted on finishing the "Mistral" Let's go after lunch.

Lu Liuyun saw that Ms. Qiao was a little too enthusiastic, but couldn't see why, thinking that now was the time when she needed contacts, so she held her nose and sat patiently surrounded by a group of Yingying Yanyan, listening While listening to their chirping and laughing, my heart was very tormented.

"Mommy, Pauline is back." The six-year-old young lady of the Qin family was playing with the maids in the yard. When she first saw the family car coming back, she rushed to the living room to act as a messenger for the announcement.

Ms. Qiao stretched out her onion fingers painted with pink nail polish, kissed the tip of the little daughter's nose, and said in a doting tone, "It's not big or small, why don't you call me sister."

"Oh, it's just that the daughter of my uncle's family came to stay with us temporarily, and she will become our big sister." The young lady of the Qin family flung herself into Ms. Qiao's arms spoiledly, not caring about Mommy at all. Take his teachings to heart.

Ms. Qiao is notoriously fond of children. Although the youngest daughter has begun to show signs of being "outrageous" after following the first three children, she is a treasure in the eyes of the mother. With the development of this family, they are unwilling to do this self-defeating intervention.

After a while, there was the sound of leather shoes knocking on the ground outside the living room. Qiao Baolin came in with a book in her hand and said hello to Ms. Qiao.

"Pauline, this is Mistral, Lu Liuyun, the third son of the Marshal's Mansion." Seeing her niece coming back, Ms. Qiao hurriedly introduced Lu Liuyun to her.

"Mr. Lu, hello." Qiao Baolin got a reminder from her aunt, and then she noticed this noble son who was surrounded by the daughter of the Qin family. She gave Lu Liuyun a friendly smile, and then walked to the little girl next door I went to the side hall.

At first, Lu Liuyun was a little suspicious when he heard the foreign name in Miss Qin's mouth. Now that he saw it, he realized that the person who came was indeed the female student who gave the book to Zhou Hengxi. There was a warm smile on his face, but he couldn't help but A little embarrassing.

When it was time for lunch, Ms. Qiao directed the old mother to send a group of joking children to the small dining room to make a fuss, leaving only Qiao Baolin to arrange the western tableware on the table with her in the large living room. And metaphor.

"Pauline, what do you think of that Mysterio in the living room?" Ms. Qiao asked her niece while spreading the tablecloth.

"Oh, you seem to have a good temper." Qiao Baolin dealt with her aunt absent-mindedly, and walked across the table while she was laying out the plates.Seeing this, Ms. Qiao treated her as a girl's shameless face, she giggled and didn't take it seriously.

And when Lu Liuyun sat at the long table, he felt even more puzzled when he faced the two female relatives present alone. He held the knife and fork in his hand and slowly cut open the steak on the plate. The purpose of the lady to come up with this trick.

Qiao Baolin accidentally touched the red wine glass with the knife she was holding while holding the spoon, making a "jingle" sound, breaking the silence on the table.Ms. Qiao was worrying about how to speak, and seeing this opportunity, she quickly switched the vegetable salad in front of her with the cheddar cheese on Qiao Baolin's table, and said with a smile, "You girls' figure is the most important thing, eating so many calories High snacks, grow meat carefully."

Qiao Baolin usually doesn't care if she eats half a cheesecake in Qin's house. Today, when she saw her aunt making a big fuss on the table, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. When she was about to speak, she saw Qiao Baolin turn her face away, and naturally faced her Lu Liuyun, who was across the table, asked, "Mistero, in your social circle of young celebrities, what type of girl do you like the most?"

Lu Liuyun sipped the red wine in the goblet, and almost coughed when he heard this, he picked up the white napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth, smiling a little awkwardly, "I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed if Madam asks me this, my father My family has always been strict, and I seldom let me go out to mess around, so my personal views on this aspect cannot be generalized."

Ms. Qiao nodded with a smile on her face, and her eyes showed two points of appreciation, thinking that this handsome son is a rare and decent person among dudes.So, she thought for a while, and then asked, "Does Mistral have a girl he likes?"

Hearing this, Lu Liuyun felt something in his heart, and immediately shook his head vigilantly.Seeing this, Ms. Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at her niece sitting next to her, and said to Lu Liuyun, "What does Mysterio think about our Baolin?"
