Episode 5. He doesn't recognize me 2

This is really not like him at all as if he has become a different person.

Qian's mother smiles and says, "Slippery tongue." While saying this, she picks up food for the two of them. "Zhou Zhou, don't look at this brat who always jokes around. When something happens, he is very reliable. Usually, when Lao Qian takes him to do projects, he is sedate and serious."

Zhou Ji'an draws a question mark after the jokes. But for sedation and reliability, she still nods in agreement, which is based on what she knows about his past.

Lu Zhining pretends to bow like a joke: "I just realized that Mrs. Qian thinks so highly of me. I am unworthy of it."

But the tone is not at all embarrassed.

Qian's mother also gets it, and laughs: "So many dishes can't fill your mouth."

Lu Zhining naturally cooperates with the food stuffed in his mouth and pokes his tight cheeks, indicating that he couldn't speak.

Now Qian's father and mother are amused by him, and even Zhou Ji'an turns his head and smiles. He was not so cheerful before. On the one hand, she is happy for his change, and on the other hand, she feels lost for his unfamiliar side.

"Zhou Zhou, what's wrong with your hand?"

Zhou Ji'an sees that everyone's eyes are attracted and curls her index finger slightly: "I don't know where I bumped into it and scratched the skin."

Lu Zhining pauses with his chopsticks. He knows that the wound was caused by a knife, but he didn't expose her.

"Be careful."

Qian's father's eyes wander between Lu Zhining and Zhou Ji'an. Before dinner, Lu Zhining asks him for a Band-Aid, which is now stuck in Zhou Ji'an's hand.

He also sees Lu Zhining's behavior of pretending to glance at Zhou Ji'an. As long as Zhou Ji'an speaks, Lu Zhining will fall silent, and the way he seems to be listening to the content of the speech makes him feel that the two seem to know each other.

Who knew his words would actually come true?

"Zhou Zhou, how about you exchange contact information? Lu can answer your questions about the book you read. His insights are very profound. Compared with my interpretation, the collision of ideas between you young people is more interesting."

"Okay." After Zhou Ji'an picks up the phone, she breathes a sigh of relief when she sees Lu Zhining doing the same action out of the corner of her eye.

She was really afraid that he would refuse directly.

After all, he has done this kind of thing a lot before. The high school forum even set up a special floor called "Rejector Lu," which was full of jokes about Lu Zhining rejecting people for various reasons.

After watching the two add their contact information and exchange their phone numbers, Qian's mother winks at Qian's father in praise.

Qian's father winks back happily: "How has Zhou Zhou's work been recently? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"Brother Jianying takes care of me so much; how can there be any difficulties."

Qian's father: "I heard Ying say some time ago that you are always on business trips."

Qian's mother adds a chopstick of food to her: "No wonder you have lost a lot of weight, eat more."

"If you encounter any problems at work that you can't tell Jianying, tell me. I will tell him."

Zhou Ji'an nods obediently, and Lu Zhining looks at her wrists, which are so slender that the joints are particularly obvious, and frowns inadvertently.

In the afternoon, Lu Zhining accompanies Qian's father to play chess in the study, while Zhou Ji'an and Qian's mother continues to tinker with dessert in the kitchen.

Qian's mother: "Zhou Zhou, give this to them to eat; let Lao Qian eat less, Xiao Lu likes sweets very much."

Zhou Ji'an says with a heart: I know; I have never seen a man who likes sweets more than him.

The study is tranquil.

The two of them are concentrating on playing chess.

She gently places the dessert on the table and even forgets to say what Qian's mother just told her. She leaves the room and is about to close the door when she raises her eyes and glances in the direction of Lu Zhining...

The man, who was originally concentrating on playing chess, is now looking at her carelessly.

Her eyes widen a little at the moment when her heart beats violently. Even her hand on the door handle is stiff. Without the master's instructions, it doesn't know what to do next.

As if he expected her reaction long ago, Lu Zhining begins to look at her blatantly, and his eyes turn willful.

Qian's father hums, as if he is still thinking about how to play this move.

Zhou Ji'an hears the sound and closes the door in flurry, as if she did something wrong, and her heart is beating non-stop.

Qian's father is tired of looking down. Although he doesn't see the series of eye contact between the two just now, he could feel it deeply! Lu Zhining's eyes are like X-rays, nakedly scanning Zhou Ji'an, and it is back and forth! Young people nowadays are really becoming less and less reserved, but... he secretly gives a thumb up in his heart and praises: Lu has the style he had back then. And they definitely know each other!

They must be very familiar with each other, otherwise, how could the dishes in front of Zhouzhou be all her favorites? How could it be such a coincidence? Besides, no matter how much Lu likes a girl he just met for the first time, he would not stare at her like this, and the two of them seemed to be from the same place.

The more Qian's father thinks about it, the more clues he finds.

In order to confirm his guess, Qian's father asks directly: "Why do I feel like you two know each other?"
