Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Brother also has this picture

Liang Zhixia strictly abided by the plate action. He put down his chopsticks and looked up at Lu Quan who had been standing beside his table.

"You ate my bread, I ate your dinner, we are even."

The smile on Lu Quan's face gradually disappeared, and he lifted his eyelids and looked at him lightly.

Zhizhi was nestled in the chair obediently, still wearing the pajamas he bought, but the words he said were so hurtful.

"We are even?"

The man's voice was hoarse and low, revealing unknown danger.

Liang Zhixia instantly covered his face, peeking at him through his fingers, and said, "You don't want to hit me, do you? You want to eat my saliva yourself, not me asking you to eat it!"

After saying that, he found that this sentence sounded strange, so he changed his mouth: "You want to eat the bread I left over."

He blinked his big eyes, but saw Lu Quan smiled.

It was not the kind of polite gentleman's smile, but a sincere smile.

Lu Quan raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, I must eat your saliva."

He emphasized the word "saliva".

Liang Zhixia's ears felt hot when she heard this. How could this sentence sound so charming when it came out of Lu Quan's mouth?

Then he saw Lu Quan took out his mobile phone and took a photo of him.

He reached out to grab it: "What did you take a photo of?"

Lu Quan stretched out his arm to hold up the mobile phone, Liang Zhixia couldn't reach it, and his white fingertips tightly grasped Lu Quan's customized high-end suit, shouting, "Lu Quan! You took a sneak shot of me!"

The boy's attention was all on the mobile phone, and he didn't realize that he had fallen into Lu Quan's arms. Lu Quan naturally hugged his waist, and the two were very close, so close that they could hear each other's pounding heartbeats.

Lu Quan smelled the fragrance of the shower gel on the person in his arms, and looked down at Zhizhi, and his nose was sweating anxiously. He deliberately let the other party grab the phone, and as expected, he saw the smile on Zhizhi's face.

Very cute and beautiful.

The first thing Liang Zhixia did after grabbing the phone was to delete the photos, but the screen was black.

He looked up at Lu Quan with a frown, not noticing that Lu Quan had been staring at him.

"Lu Quan, what's the password?"

Lu Quan lazily leaned on the table, his arms loosely wrapped around the boy's waist, and raised his thin lips slightly: "Guess?"

Liang Zhixia only now truly felt what Xu Cheng said, that Lu Quan's temperament was actually very bad.

He held the phone and lowered his head, and his white neck fell into Lu Quan's sight without any defense. Lu Quan licked his canine teeth and his eyes fell on the bright red mole he saw in the surveillance video.

I really want to lick it, Zhizhi will definitely cry.

The bangs wet by the rain casually fell on his forehead. He lowered his head, and his hot breath hit the boy's slender neck. The distance was getting closer and closer, and he felt his blood boiling with excitement.

But just when he was about to bite, the person in his arms raised his head unexpectedly, and he felt a hot stream flowing out of his nasal cavity.

"Lu Quan, you have a nosebleed."

Liang Zhixia stared at Lu Quan's face blankly.

Lu Quan touched it casually, and there was indeed bright red blood on his cold white fingers. As

soon as he lowered his head, he heard the boy's hurried voice: "Don't lower your head!"

Liang Zhixia was so scared that her face turned pale. She struggled out of Lu Quan's arms, stretched out her hand to take a tissue from the table, and wiped Lu Quan's face.

Lu Quan did not hold the paper himself, but leaned over to let Liang Zhixia wipe it.

Liang Zhixia wiped more and more, looked up and saw Lu Quan lowering his head again, and shouted his name angrily.

"Lu Quan!"

Lu Quan liked Liang Zhixia calling his name very much, and he hummed softly.

"..."

Liang Zhixia frowned and pressed Lu Quan on her chair. Her slender white fingers pinched his neck and said in a serious voice: "Don't move."

Lu Quan felt the restraint on his neck, his Adam's apple rolled up and down uncontrollably, and he chuckled: "Okay."

The boy's expression was very serious, and there were not very obvious teeth marks on his rosy and soft lips. Lu Quan's eyebrows moved slightly and his legs overlapped.

Liang Zhixia wiped it while feeling Lu Quan's rolling Adam's apple. She couldn't help but gently pressed his Adam's apple and said angrily: "Can you stop moving?"

This was the first time Liang Zhixia looked down at Lu Quan. It felt very different. The fingers pinching Lu Quan's neck slightly exerted force, leaving shallow marks on the cold white skin.

His eyes moved upwards, and his black eyes were deep and bottomless, as if hiding some kind of hot emotion. As

soon as his fingers loosened, the blood-stained tissue fell on Lu Quan's collar. Liang Zhixia's pupils dilated unconsciously, and a few words appeared in his mind again.

It's over.

Lu Quan felt the force on his neck was getting weaker and weaker, so he took the initiative to move forward until he felt suffocated again.

His bony fingers picked up the tissue that fell on his collar and wiped it casually to the side, saying lazily: "I was going to throw this shirt away."

Liang Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief, his legs softened, and he actually sat directly on Lu Quan's legs.

He was about to stand up when he was pressed down by the arm on his waist.

"Just wipe it like this."

Lu Quan finally cooperated, and Liang Zhixia just wanted to stop the bleeding.

After the nosebleed stopped, he pulled out a clean tissue and stuffed it into Lu Quan's hand: "You take it yourself."

Lu Quan retracted his hand: "No, Xia Xia hurt me, so I have to take responsibility to the end."

Liang Zhixia: "..."

Obviously he and Lu Quan were so far away, who knew that he would bump into Lu Quan's nose when he raised his head.

But he didn't dare not take responsibility for Lu Quan, Master Lu's body was precious, and he angrily put the lunch box back into the thermal bag with a snap.

Lu Quan hooked his finger and took back his mobile phone.

With his index finger tapping the screen of his mobile phone lightly, he pointed to the ginger soup on his desk and said lazily, "Drink the ginger soup."

After being soaked in the rain, Zhizhi would definitely get sick tomorrow if he didn't drink the ginger soup.

Liang Zhixia didn't like the taste of ginger soup very much, and he refused, "I won't drink it."

Lu Quan: "As long as you drink the ginger soup, I will delete the photos."

Liang Zhixia was a little tempted. It was too dangerous to leave ugly photos on Lu Quan's mobile phone.

He got up and walked to Lu Quan's desk, stretched out his hand to open the thermos, and a strong smell rushed to his nose. He quickly closed the lid of the thermos again.

"Can I have a sip?"

He tried to bargain.

Lu Quan smiled and ruthlessly rejected him: "No, drink it all."

Liang Zhixia had a bitter face: "Then drink half, okay?"

A thermos is too much.

Lu Quan looked at the distressed expression on Zhizhi's face, admired it, and then slowly said, "Okay."

A trace of relief flashed across Liang Zhixia's face. He looked back at Lu Quan who was sitting on his chair. Just as he was about to stand up to finish drinking the ginger soup, he heard a man's voice: "Sit on my chair."

"Is it okay?" Liang Zhixia looked at him in surprise.

Lu Quan tilted his head: "Yes, or you want to sit on my lap to drink it."

Liang Zhixia sat down immediately. Seeing that the other party's face did not become ugly, he put down his feet and lay on the other party's table to drink the ginger soup.

Lu Quan's chair was very comfortable to sit on. It supported the waist and back, and it could also rotate.

He tapped his toes lightly and turned around unexpectedly, just meeting Lu Quan's eyes.

It was a bit embarrassing.

In order to ease the embarrassment, he stuttered and said: "Will you let others sit on your chair?"

Lu Quan raised his eyebrows: "Of course not."

Liang Zhixia suddenly didn't know what to say, and said lightly.

The ginger soup in his mouth also became tasteless. Unconsciously, he actually drank more than half of it.

He looked at the remaining ginger soup in the thermos bucket and showed it to Lu Quan. He showed a bit of boasting: "I have exceeded the target. Now it's your turn to delete the photos."

Lu Quan: "Okay, you delete it."

The unlocked phone was placed in front of him. Liang Zhixia opened the album, clicked on the latest photo, and deleted it.

He didn't want to look around, but a photo he caught out of the corner of his eye looked very familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere.

"This..."

Suddenly, Lu Quan reached out and took the phone back, turned off the screen, and said in a deep voice: "Look down."

Liang Zhixia lowered his head in confusion. A warm hand covered his forehead, and Lu Quan's magnetic voice sounded in his ears: "Well, you don't have a fever." He

didn't have a fever in the first place.

He avoided Lu Quan's physical contact, observed his nose, and found that it was no longer bleeding, and he was relieved.

Lu Quan noticed his little action and wanted to tease him again, but he couldn't bear to ruin the current atmosphere. Zhizhi

seemed to pay attention to him again.

He wanted to let this moment stay a little longer.

It was not long now, and Liang Zhixia still wanted to draw comics, so he took advantage of Lu Quan's inattention and went into the bathroom to brush his teeth.

After brushing the taste of ginger soup out of his mouth, he walked out and found Lu Quan still sitting in his chair, even though his chair was very uncomfortable to sit on.

He reached out to pick up the tablet on the table, and unexpectedly found that the remaining ginger soup in the thermos bucket had disappeared inexplicably.

He looked at Lu Quan suspiciously, got on the bed with the tablet in his arms, and pulled the bed curtains.

Lu Quan tapped his toes, turned his chair, and narrowed his black eyes. He shouldn't have agreed to install bed curtains in the dormitory, so he couldn't see anything.

After looking at the bed curtains for a long time, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the housekeeper, asking the housekeeper to remind Lu Manman to pick up Xia Xia this week.

Liang Zhixia behind the bed curtains didn't feel Lu Quan's impatience. After finishing the latest chapter of the comics, he saved it on Weibo and set a time to publish it.

He put away the tablet, covered his mouth and yawned, then lay down and opened his phone. His fingers accidentally turned to the photo in the rain that L sent him. He seemed to have seen this photo in Lu Quan's album just now.

Maybe he saw it wrong. How could Lu Quan have the photo that L sent him?

When he fell asleep in a daze, he suddenly opened his eyes and his consciousness was extremely clear.

No, he was clearly planning to talk to Lu Quan and draw a clear line. He

would definitely talk it out tomorrow.

But the next day, he was so busy that he forgot about it again.

On the third day, he just arrived at the cafe in the afternoon and saw the boss standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for him.

"Boss?"

The boss pointed to a black car on the side of the road and said with a smile: "Someone is looking for you. I will give you a half-day paid holiday."

Liang Zhixia looked in the direction the boss pointed, and a cute little face popped out of the window of the car behind him.

Lu Manman.

But why did the boss give him a paid holiday?

He was puzzled silently, but did not ask. He was busy all day yesterday and was exhausted.

Lu Manman in the car over there was already getting a little impatient, and waved his chubby little hands vigorously at Liang Zhixia.

The boss smiled and said, "The young master is waiting impatiently, Xiaoxia, please go over quickly."

Liang Zhixia just walked over, and suddenly remembered that he was wearing men's clothes, and was obviously a boy.

He paused, hesitating whether to go over, or go back to change into women's clothes first.

Lu Manman stood on the cushion and waved out the window: "Xia Xia, Manman is here."

Many passers-by had already looked over here, he gritted his teeth and walked over, opened the car door and got in.

Little Lu Manman got into his arms very familiarly, raised his tender little face, and said in a baby voice: "Xia Xia, Manman has been waiting for you for a long time."

Liang Zhixia was a little annoyed, he touched Lu Manman's head: "Sorry."

Sorry for his perfunctory invitation to Lu Manman before.

He really didn't take the words of a three or four-year-old kid to heart.

Lu Manman didn't understand, and shook his head and said, "It's okay, Manman forgives Xia Xia."

Liang Zhixia raised the corner of her mouth: "Thank you, Manman."

Although Lu Quan is hateful, his brother is very cute.

He put Lu Manman on the child seat and checked it again, and the driver in front started the car.

At the same time, Lu Quan put down the documents in his hand, frowning: "Do you have to let me go?"

Assistant: "It was Director Lu who asked you to go."

Lu Quan pinched his brows, knowing that this was a test from his grandfather, and said coldly: "I know."

Going on a business trip abroad for a week means that he won't be able to see Zhizhi for this week.

That night he thought his relationship with Zhizhi had eased, but in the past two days, Zhizhi only took the initiative to say two words to him, and other times she was indifferent to him.

His eyes fell on the lit screen, and the housekeeper sent him a message that Lu Manman had gone to pick up Zhizhi.

He looked up at the assistant: "When are you leaving?"

The assistant said in embarrassment: "Now."

Lu Quan: "..."

If I had known, I wouldn't have asked the housekeeper to remind Lu Manman about this matter.

I can't go home to see Zhizhi at night.

On the other side, the driver parked the car and Liang Zhixia unbuckled Lu Manman's seat belt.

After the two got out of the car, Lu Manman took his hand, pointed to the big villa in front of them, and said excitedly: "This is Manman's home, Xia Xia, come with me, I asked the housekeeper to prepare a big meal."

Liang Zhixia looked around and found that this was the villa community where he worked part-time last time.

He followed Lu Manman and walked into the villa that looked very luxurious.

The middle-aged housekeeper I met last time stood at the door and said respectfully: "I am the housekeeper of the Lu family. Madam and Mr. are not at home. You can come to me directly if you have any questions."

Liang Zhixia: "Hello."

Not only Lu Manman, but even the housekeeper did not question his men's clothing at this time. He could only guess one person.

It should be Lu Quan who said something to them.

The housekeeper did not disturb their getting along and turned back to his work.

And Lu Manman was very conscious of being the host. He introduced in a baby voice: "This is where the adults talk, this is Dad and Mom's shoes, this is where the chef uncle works, and here, this is my brother's secret base, no one can go in."

He glanced at the locked room, located in the corner of the third floor, with a gloomy feeling.

It is worthy of being Lu Quan's private territory.

He: "Then let's go quickly."

Lu Manman took his hand and introduced other places. In the backyard of the villa, there was an abandoned small house.

Lu Manman stopped and pulled his hand.

Liang Zhixia understood what he meant, squatted down, and said, "What does Manman want to tell me?"

Lu Manman said in a childish voice, "You can't go to that little house. There is a man-eating monster there. Even Ultraman can't beat it."

Liang Zhixia looked up and saw that the little house was covered with green ivy outside the wall. The roof was shabby and didn't match the bright and beautiful villa. It even looked very abrupt here.

He asked curiously, "Why did Manman say that?"

Lu Manman also squatted down like him, touching her chubby fingers together, and her little face wrinkled, saying, "My brother told me. My brother said there is a monster there. Dad and Mom also told Manman the same thing."

Liang Zhixia squinted and looked at the ordinary little broken house in confusion. Lu Quan actually said there was a monster there. Was he sure he didn't mean to scare Lu Manman?

Suddenly, Lu Manman sighed like a little adult, and her baby body got into his arms, lying on his ear and whispering.

"I only told Xia Xia. Dad and Mom said that my brother was captured by a monster when he was a child. It was very scary."

Liang Zhixia didn't expect to hear such a rich family secret. He turned around in panic and looked around. No one should have seen it.

He didn't want to be "killed and silenced" because of this matter.

When he left, he looked back at the shabby little house. Could it be that the rumor Jiang Ling said last time was true?

What happened to Lu Quan when he was a child?

He lowered his eyes in disappointment. These had nothing to do with him. Lu Quan didn't regard him as a friend, so why should he take the initiative to care about him.

Little Lu Manman was really talkative, a real chatterbox.

Not only did she take him to visit all the rooms in the villa except Lu Quan, she also introduced all his Ultraman toys to him, which filled a whole wall.

"Did your parents buy these for you?"

Anyway, it couldn't be Lu Quan. Lu Quan looked cold and didn't seem like someone who would buy toys for his younger brother.

Lu Manman shook her head and said in a baby voice, "No, these were all bought by my brother. My brother bought Ultraman for Manman."

Liang Zhixia suddenly realized that he didn't know Lu Quan at all. Maybe he shouldn't have listened to the one-sided words of those two people and immediately concluded that Lu Quan didn't regard him as a friend.

Because at the beginning, Lu Quan really didn't like him.

He didn't like Lu Quan

either. He changed his attitude towards Lu Quan, so why wouldn't Lu Quan change his opinion of him?

Lu Manman didn't know that his words had such a big impact.

Liang Zhixia played with Lu Manman for the whole afternoon until the dinner bell rang and the butler knocked on the door.

"Mr. Liang and young master, dinner is ready."

As Lu Manman said, the butler did prepare a big meal, all of which he had never eaten.

After dinner, he was about to ask to go back to school, but the housekeeper came over and said, "Mr. Liang, can you stay with the young master for a while? The husband and wife called just now, saying that there was something urgent at the company, so they have to work overtime."

Liang Zhixia looked at the time. It was only six o'clock, and it was not dark outside.

He looked down and saw the expectant eyes of little Lu Manman, so he nodded: "Okay."

Little Lu Manman happily said "yeah", and then took him to watch cartoons.

The housekeeper seemed to be afraid that he would be bored, so he specially handed him a stack of photo albums.

"Here are the photos of the eldest and young masters. If you are bored, you can take a look."

Liang Zhixia was a little flattered. He took the photo album: "Can I really look at it?"

The housekeeper: "Of course."

Back in the corner, the housekeeper opened his little notebook and crossed out the item of showing the photo album to Mr. Liang. The list above had been crossed out, and these were all things ordered by the eldest young master.

Lu Manman was watching cartoons nearby. Liang Zhixia opened the album. On the first page was a photo of a little boy. He was very thin, with long bangs covering his eyes, and looked very gloomy.

He glanced at the note next to him and was stunned. The little boy in the photo turned out to be Lu Quan.

But after a closer look, the eyes were very similar, but only the eyes were similar. They were dark and gloomy.

Lu Quan now was not as gloomy as he was when he was a child.

The second photo was probably when Lu Quan was a teenager. His long bangs were cut off. He was wearing a baggy and ordinary school uniform. The childishness on his face had completely disappeared, and one could even glimpse his handsomeness later.

After flipping through all the photos, he found that there was only one photo of Lu Quan when he was a child. Most of them were photos after he became an adult.

And in all the photos, Lu Quan looked at the camera gloomily, and there was not a single smiling face.

The photos of Lu Manman later were very rich. He was only three or four years old, but there were more photos than Lu Quan had taken in more than 20 years.

It was very strange.

Little Lu Manman had crawled up to him at some point, leaning over to the album, pointing at the photos with his chubby little hand, and exclaimed, "This is Manman."

Liang Zhixia replied, "Yes, this is Manman."

He looked behind him, and the housekeeper was no longer standing in the corner. He turned the album to Lu Quan's part and whispered, "Are these the only photos of brother?"

Lu Manman's chubby little hands flipped through the album, and he also imitated him, speaking carefully and softly, "Yes, these are all brother. Brother is so small, even smaller than Manman."

This is the fact. If he hadn't seen the photos, he would never have imagined that Lu Quan was even thinner than Lu Manman when he was a child.

He: "Manman, do you know why brother is so small?"

Lu Manman frowned and shook his head, saying, "I don't know, Mom and Dad didn't tell Manman."

Liang Zhixia hummed, closed the album, and didn't plan to look at it anymore. She always felt that she was taking advantage of Lu Quan's absence to peek into his privacy.

He was no longer old enough to watch cartoons. If it was a different kind of "cartoon", he would at least take a look.

The sound of the cartoon was very hypnotic. He leaned against the soft sofa and gradually closed his eyes.

With long and thick eyelashes covering his light brown eyes and his soft hair scattered in a mess, little Lu Manman leaned in Liang Zhixia's arms and watched very seriously.

The two little hands were tightly clasped. After seeing the bad guys being defeated by the kind-hearted and powerful protagonist, he clapped happily. The little hand grabbed the remote control and clicked on the next episode.

After an unknown amount of time, Liang Zhixia was awakened by Lu Manman's voice.

"Xia Xia, your phone has been ringing."

Liang Zhixia opened his eyes, but his head was not fully awake yet. He squinted and opened WeChat.

L sent him a lot of messages.

He leaned on the sofa and swiped up the messages. Lu Manman, who was sitting in his arms, tilted her head and took a look. Suddenly, she pointed at L's avatar and said, "Brother, this is the same picture."
