she's not at ease

It gets dark earlier in winter, and the location of the capital is in the north. By the time I get off work at five or six in the afternoon, the sky is already gray and mostly dark.

Today is a special day, when Lu Yi came out of the office slowly, there were almost no people in the office area outside, everyone was rushing to celebrate the festival, only Zhou Jia was left stubbornly waiting outside for Lu Yi to get off work first.

Seeing Lu Yi coming out of the office, she quickly stood up.

"Why don't you go, don't you have to accompany your boyfriend today?"

Lu Yi was a little surprised.

Embarrassment flashed across the little girl's face, and she quickly answered Lu Yi's question: "I'm afraid the director won't be able to find me when you need to work overtime for a while."

She usually does file classification and some trivial things. Some things look simple, but they are not easy to find when they are needed.

Lu Yi didn't expect such a reason, she smiled helplessly: "I don't look like someone with a date, do I have to drag you to work overtime with me at this time?"

Zhou Jia just wanted to say "no", but just as the words came to his lips, he heard a urging from behind: "When can I go?"

Because he is Lu Yi's assistant, Zhou Jia is different from ordinary employees. He often goes up to the 24th floor by sending documents and contracts. In this way, there are many more opportunities to contact Luo Yao. Sound sensitivity is much higher than the average person.

When she looked back, she saw Luo Yao standing at the entrance of the office area with her bag in her hand, looking towards them with a smile.

Of course he couldn't be looking at her.

Then the only explanation is...

"I won't work overtime, so I'll leave right away."

"You also pack up and get off work quickly, don't make your boyfriend wait too long."

Lu Yi hooked her lips, patted her shoulder lightly, walked around her and walked in front of Luo Yao.

The two disappeared from Zhou Jia's sight together.

She stood there in a daze for a long time without recovering, and even the movement of packing things seemed a little slow: "It turns out that the director and Mr. Luo have a date..."

But even so, what can it explain?

I don’t know when the snowflakes began to fall again outside the window, and the Christmas songs coming from the stereo of the shopping mall not far away are especially suitable for the occasion, and the joyful atmosphere of the festival is everywhere.

That is, during the 2 minutes that Zhou Jia was in a daze, Lu Yi and Luo Yao had already taken the elevator down to the parking lot on the first floor.

"Didn't you say to wait for me in the parking lot? Why did you come down directly?"

"You just scared my assistant."

They got into the car from left to right.

"It's my Christmas surprise for her." Luo Yao smiled, and then threw the keys in Lu Yi's hands, "Drive, driver."

Since it was confirmed that he would resign from the position of president in the next year, Luo Yao's whole demeanor became much more casual.

Today is Christmas, logically speaking, they should book a high-end restaurant to have a good meal and then go back after having fun outside, but Lu Yi wanted to go home and change clothes first, so the driver became her.

Back home, Lu Yi left him outside the bedroom.

"You sit outside for a while, and I'll come out after I change my clothes."

Luo Yao didn't have any objections.

It took about half an hour to come here from the company, and she was already a little hungry, so she didn't have the time to flirt.

only……

I don't know if it's hallucinations because of being too hungry or what, Luo Yao sat on the chair and sniffed vigorously, always feeling that he smelled a fresh scent of soup.

After smelling it for a while, I just feel more hungry.

"Lu Yi, your house smells so good, have you smelled it?" Luo Yao called out to the half-hidden door of the bedroom.

At the same time, he got up from the chair and walked suspiciously towards the kitchen.

And Lu Yi in the room obviously also heard the voice of inquiry coming from outside the room.

Hearing this, she also sniffed it vigorously, and found that it did have a very fragrant smell, and it smelled a little like her mother's soup.

"It floated in from the window..."

Lu Yi frowned lightly, didn't pay much attention to it, and quickly changed her movements and walked outside.

Her mother even made a video call with her last night. She was sunbathing on the beach in Sanya, and it was impossible for her to come back today.

Besides, it's meal time now, and the windows at home are specially opened for ventilation, and it's not uncommon for the smell of someone's cooking to come here from the neighbors.

It was only when she came out that Luo Yaoren was already standing by the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yi took two steps forward.

However, without waiting for Luo Yao to answer, the strong aroma wafting from the kitchen had already told Lu Yi the answer.

Luo Yao deliberately lowered her voice: "It seems that something is cooking in your kitchen."

Their eyes drifted to the kitchen door at the same time.

The kitchen door is a sliding door, which was not fully closed leaving a gap of about ten centimeters.

Luo Yao always felt that this scent was not his illusion, and sure enough...the closer you got to this scent, the stronger it was, and the smell came from the kitchen.

It's just that I haven't had time to reach out and pull the door.

There was no one at home, but there was a scent wafting from the kitchen.

Lu Yi clenched her throat, a different feeling rose in her heart, all this was like the beginning of a traditional ghost story.

until……

With a "click", there was the sound of the anti-theft door being opened, followed by Mama Lu's familiar loud voice——

"Oh, oh, it's so cold outside!"

"I was thinking about it, so I went downstairs to buy some spices and didn't need to wear too much when I came back. I didn't expect it to be so cold...

"I knew I wouldn't come back so soon!"

The answer to the puzzle was solved in an instant, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

But then they began to face another problem-there was an extra person in the two-person world that could go on after returning and changing clothes.

"Mom... Didn't I sign up for a tour group for you? Why did you come back after only a few days of playing?" Lu Yi immediately went up to meet him after recovering.

She grabbed her mother's hand, looking like a caring daughter.

Luo Yao, on the other hand, went back to the chair and sat down in silence.

"Don't mention it, it's because I thought you were alone and had no partner and I had to come back to spend the holidays with you." Mother Lu hated that iron could not be made into steel, and sighed.

As she spoke, she pushed away her daughter beside her and poked her head into the room: "Hey, Mr. Luo is here too!"

"........."

The deserted room suddenly became lively.

Lu's mother went out to buy a lot of seasonings and came back, plus the ones already at home, it seemed that she was planning to cook a sumptuous dinner for them.

The two people's plan to go out on a date died on the way.

Luo Yao herself didn't think there was anything wrong with her. She lost her biological mother when she was 16 years old, and now she got along well with Lu Yi's mother by accident. happy.

The cooked soup was brought to the table, and Luo Yao hurriedly followed Mother Lu to ask the secrets of making the soup, but left Lu Yi behind.

The small family that had only two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table now suddenly has one more person, which seems to be not bad.

After dinner in the evening, without waiting for Lu Yi to speak, Lu Xuemei took Luo Yao's hand and took the initiative to keep him.

This was the second day Luo Yao stayed at Lu's house overnight.

It's just that Lu Yi didn't expect...

"Mom, it's time to go to bed." It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and after thinking about it, she still knocked on the door of her mother's room.

The door that was originally closed was opened by Lu Yi and quietly opened a crack, and the light in the room seeped out from this crack.

Lu Yi poked her head in, and soon saw two figures sitting on the bed.

Luo Yao has been pestered and chatted by her mother since she finished washing at 09:30, and now she is directly dragged into the room for a "long talk".

Lu Yi felt that if she didn't show up again, the other party might have to sleep in her mother's room tonight.

This is her girlfriend, how can it be?

"What are you doing here?" Mother Lu turned her head and saw her daughter who suddenly appeared at the door, she said directly.

"..." Lu Yi was startled.

For a moment, she almost thought that she was an outsider in this family.

"Mom, it's time to go to bed." Lu Yi sighed secretly, and had to repeat what she said just now, "You should check what time it is now, the doctor told you not to go to bed late."

The tone is serious and serious, just like when the other party watches TV dramas too late.

Sure enough, a guilty expression flashed across Lu Xuemei's face.

"Okay, okay, let's go to bed then, please turn off the lights for us." Mother Lu quickly compromised, and got into the quilt obediently.

It's just that the words that come out of the mouth are so wrong.

She didn't get her daughter's intention, but the word "we" shocked the two people present.

Luo Yao and Lu Yiyao looked at each other, and she shook her head slightly at each other to express that she never said she would stay and sleep.

After the two exchanged some scattered information with their eyes, Lu Yi spoke again: "Mom, Luo Yao will sleep with me."

"You sleep lightly at night and wake up early in the morning, so don't people sleep in late at the weekend tomorrow?"

Reasonable, and irrefutable.

After finishing speaking, she opened the door a little wider and looked at Luo Yao on the bed: "Come out."

When the words fell to the ground, Luo Yao glanced at Lu's mother.

Seeing that the other party didn't continue to refute, she slowly got up and got out of bed: "Then auntie, I'm going out first...you have a good rest."

The lights went out and the door was gently shut.

Finally it was time for the two of them to be alone again.

Lu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief...and brought him back to his room.

Before turning off the lights and going to bed, she made a special effort to check whether the door lock of her room was unlocked.

This behavior was seen by Luo Yao, and he couldn't help but tease: "Why are you guarding against your own mother?"

Lu Yi didn't even raise her head: "It's my own mother."
