she's not at ease

Lu Yi grew up in a single-parent family.

When she was young, the children in her school class would always bring up the role of father from time to time, but she didn't because her father died in an elevator accident.

Few people know about this matter, and Lu Yi herself would never bring it up.

Growing up with her mother, she is not only precocious, but also extraordinarily strong. Naturally, she doesn't want people to know that she has such a miserable family background, but when the fear of "may die like my father" strikes At that time, Lu Yi still didn't hold back the part of his true emotions that were revealed.

She knew that Luo Yao had noticed it, and also knew that the other party deliberately lied about being afraid to appease her in order to take care of her "little stubbornness".

The two actually reached a natural tacit understanding at this time.

One wants to save face, the other does not tear it apart, and continues to maintain the last layer of tulle.

It's just that Lu Yi couldn't control the sticky sweat from her palms because of nervousness. At this moment, she thought, it's lucky that Luo Yao just held the back of her hand.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and soon after the emergency call button was pressed, human voices came from a distance outside the elevator, and someone came over.

Across the elevator door on the first floor, the security and rescue personnel communicated patiently with them. Considering that Lu Yi's current state is not suitable for talking to the outside world, Luo Yao took the initiative to open the communication task at the first sentence to himself.

Her voice was steady and calm, and she even offered some rescue ideas for the technicians outside.

With such a calm and composed appearance, it doesn't seem to be half afraid.

Lu Yi's attention was unconsciously attracted by the people beside her. Luo Yao's cold voice sounded in the empty elevator, as if a powerful tranquilizer had made her less nervous.

After a while, the rescuers outside seemed to have discussed a plan and were about to try to pry open the door.

Luo Yao's communication task also ended here, and she withdrew her attention only to realize that Lu Yi was staring at her non-stop.

That look... Luo Yao is not used to it.

"What's wrong?" She couldn't help but raised her other hand to touch her face, "Is there something on my face?"

Lu Yi shook her head: "You seem to have become very different."

Her face was full of seriousness, and she didn't seem to be joking at all, which made Luo Yao feel a little flustered, but quickly calmed down.

Perhaps even Lu Yi herself didn't know what she was talking about.

But Luo Yao knew.

She knew that Lu Yi meant that the current "Luo Yao" was very different from the one she knew before.

However, since Lu Yi didn't know that the person she was in love with was another person, at this stage, she was still in simple doubts.

"Really?" Luo Yao started to play dumb, "Does it mean that you have become prettier after seeing you for a few days?"

She deliberately said some confusing words, which made Lu Yi's impression of her change a little bit earlier, and immediately changed back again.

Lu Yi withdrew her gaze a little speechlessly.

——What is different is really just an illusion.

After such a fuss, Lu Yi's thoughts were no longer on the elevator accident. The workers pried open the door very quickly, and they escaped from the closed space after a few minutes.

The ups and downs of the rest of her life left Lu Yi with no other thoughts for the time being, she just wanted to go home and see her mother.

The person in charge of the building and Luo Yao apologized repeatedly, and then led the workers to continue to troubleshoot the elevator.

After finally getting out of the first floor of the building, Lu Yi subconsciously turned left and walked towards the parking lot. After taking two steps forward, she found that Luo Yao was just the opposite of her, heading straight ahead.

The office buildings here are basically leased to various companies for office work. At the moment, there are only a few people in the square, and their shadows are stretched out by the streetlights.

"Where are you going?" Lu Yi was taken aback for a moment before shouting.

Her voice reached Luo Yao's ears accurately, but the other party didn't look back: "I'm hungry, I didn't have dinner and went to the restaurant across the street to have something to eat."

The words that were so calm without any emotion made Lu Yi's heart skip a beat.

Didn't eat dinner?

She had vaguely guessed the hidden meaning of Luo Yao's words: I didn't eat dinner because I was waiting for you.

Both of them are thoughtful people, Luo Yao has obviously figured out what kind of temperament Lu Yi is after repeated contacts, every word she said today is equal to a potential confrontation.

Luo Yao wasn't worried at all that the people behind him wouldn't follow, maybe it was just an intuition.

The light from the street lamp diagonally above shone on Lu Yi's side, making the other half of her face in shadow, as if she was caught in some difficult decision.

Sure enough, looking at the back of the opponent gradually going away, Lu Yi changed direction and followed after struggling for two seconds.

There were not many choices of nearby restaurants, so the two walked into a cross-bridge noodle shop.

It wasn't meal time, the restaurant was empty, and there was no one else except a couple who were waiting for a meal.

The two chose a table near the door, sat down and ordered a double bridge rice noodle set.

After ordering the meal, Luo Yao looked sideways, letting her gaze stay on Lu Yi's face, jokingly: "Why are you following me again, haven't you eaten?"

"Aren't you hungry again?" Lu Yi didn't even bother to explain.

She pursed her lips, raised her head slightly, and focused her attention on the public TV in the middle of the restaurant, where a variety show was playing.

——She won't say it, it's because you helped me in the elevator.

It was such a "rejection" gesture again, Luo Yao was used to it after coming down a few times, and she didn't force it.

Although Lu Yi doesn't look at her, it doesn't mean that she can't look at Lu Yi, so Luo Yao began to hold his head and "harass" Lu Yi with his eyes with great interest—from the smooth forehead down, passing by the other side. The pursed lips fell on the long white neck, and stopped there.

I have to say that Lu Yi is really pretty.

The smooth jaw line is not as tough as men's, but has a softer feeling.

Luo Yao looked at it with pure appreciation, but at this moment Lu Yi happened to roll down his throat.

Someone is being uncomfortable.

There was a slight smile in Luo Yao's eyes.

Lu Yi's beautiful long eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was light in her eyes, as if she felt her gaze, but stubbornly pretended to be nonchalant, still staring at the TV screen.

The two began to compete secretly again.

At this time, the other young couple in the store suddenly had an argument for some reason, and the sound of the two bickering almost overwhelmed the sound of the TV variety show, so Lu Yi and Luo Yao's attention was also attracted.

The contest ended silently. There is no one in this world who does not love gossip.

It turned out that the girl wanted to add spicy millet to the bowl during her menstrual period, but the boy refused, so the two couldn't get over this trivial matter.

It's a boring thing. Seeing this, Luo Yao suddenly thought of something.

She looked back at Lu Yi again: "What do you think?"

"Huh?" Lu Yi hummed a shallow single sound from her nasal cavity.

"If I also want to add millet pepper during menstrual period, do you think it is feasible?"

—— Lu Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with the normal topics triggered by the incident.

When she got the question, she actually thought about it seriously for a while... There are many ways of persuading people, like the one used by the boy just now, which is completely unskilled, and girls will of course quarrel with him.

Lu Yi is obviously not the kind of person who doesn't know how to adapt.

If it was her, she would probably promise another kind of reward to exchange with the other party, and use the desire for "reward" to suppress the desire for "pepper", so that people's desire value will be balanced .

All are happy.

Very sensible and perfect answer.

After finishing speaking, Lu Yi waited for the other party's comment, but when she raised her eyes, she met Luo Yao's smiling eyes, accompanied by the slightly raised corners of her lips.

"Then I will like it very much." Luo Yao smiled slightly.

She refers to the plan that Lu Yi provided for herself.

"..." It was only then that Lu Yi realized that she seemed to have been fooled by Luo Yao again.

The situation of the two of them is completely different from that of the couple over there, so how can it be used as an assumption?

Unless, Luo Yao is her girlfriend.

At this time, the boss brought over the bridge rice noodles and put them on the table. The white steam from the casserole separated the two of them, and Lu Yi's face became hazy and unreal in Luo Yao's eyes.

Lu Yi picked up the disposable chopsticks on the table and held them in her hands, ready to start eating, but Luo Yao's voice kept coming from the opposite side——

"I just don't know, Director Lu, what is the "reward desire" you gave?"

"I'm curious, can you reveal a little bit in advance?"

It was obviously a hypothetical thing, but Luo Yao said it as if it was true.

She was persistent, deliberately stepping on Lu Yi's "shame" point and tossing back and forth, and finally got the unbearable counterattack from the other party.

With a muffled sound of "boom", Lu Yi reached out and picked up a small bowl of chopped chili peppers on the table and put them heavily in front of Luo Yao, gritted his teeth and said, "You should eat chili peppers."
