The private room was very quiet, completely different from the laughter of the past. The atmosphere was even a little heavy, perhaps because there were fewer people.
However, Chen Qiannan, Liu Shuxian, and Lu Zhibei were able to chat happily here. Now, there were still three of them, but they couldn't. Perhaps it was because the time was different.
Among the three of them, Lu Zhibei sat in the middle as usual. There were people on both sides. This was where her charm lay. No matter where she was, the girls would subconsciously gather around her and surround her.
The sound of the hotpot and the rising heat added warmth to the room. However, with the air conditioner, it seemed insignificant, just like Qing Yuwen.
Her relationship with Lu Zhibei could be said to be good brothers. Although she had some thoughts back then, she later realized that she was the first person who could stay by Lu Zhibei's side as brothers. As for the others…
Qing Yuwen glanced at Liu Shuxian. He was still the same as before. He took care of Lu Zhibei beside him, the seasoning plate, the chopsticks, wiped his hands, and picked up meat. He really looked like a mother taking care of a newborn child.
As for Lu Zhibei, he didn't know if it was a habit he had left behind after so many years, but he subconsciously let Liu Shuxian take care of him. He didn't even take back his hand when he was grabbed and wiped.
" Let's eat." Liu Shuxian continued to pick up the meat for the child. It was as if nothing had changed.
However, Qing Yuwen, who was familiar with Liu Shuxian, knew that Old Liu was already on the verge of breaking down. She had held back her tears when they had just met. If Little Lu 'er had provoked her again, she might have hugged her head and cried.
She rarely saw Old Liu cry, but the few times she did, it was all because of Lu Zhibei.
The one that left the deepest impression on her was Old Liu's birthday performance that year. Lu Zhibei had said that he would be able to come back, but because of the plane, he couldn't make it back in time. He only let Hu Xiaohui read the letter.
Then, Liu Shuxian immediately started crying on stage. It was the same kind of crying. The public performance had been paused by Duan Yixuan. She took him away to comfort him for a while before he was finally appeased.
However, Lu Zhibei was on the plane at that time and couldn't answer the phone. So, after the performance ended, Liu Shuxian cried again. He couldn't be coaxed, and he cried until Lu Zhibei rushed back. He hugged him in his arms and comforted him for a while before he stopped. His eyes were swollen.
From then on, Lu Zhibei was very careful whenever it came to Liu Shuxian, afraid that she would cry again.
Qing Yuwen reached out and secretly touched Lu Zhibei's leg. When she saw the other party looking over in confusion, she frowned and shook her head, hoping that the tacit understanding they had for so many years was still there.
Lu Zhibei immediately understood what she wanted to say. She couldn't provoke Liu Shuxian. She nodded slightly, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating the meat that Liu Shuxian had placed in her bowl.
Qing Yuwen smiled happily. It wasn't just because Lu Zhibei was as obedient as before, but also because their chemistry was still there. This made Qing Yuwen very happy.
Liu Shuxian saw that Lu Zhibei had eaten the food he had picked up, and his mood improved a little. He smiled. It was still the same as before. It hadn't changed. That was good.
" Slow down." Liu Shuxian wiped the corner of Lu Zhibei's mouth gently with a tissue.
She remembered that a long time ago, Lu Zhibei had also sat here and talked excitedly to Chen Qiannan while eating. As a result, his mouth was covered in sauce.
Then, Liu Shuxian wiped her mouth from the side. He wiped her mouth, wiped it, and then wiped it again. Then, he put some meat into Lu Zhibei's bowl.
In Liu Shuxian's heart, the image of the little white coat had already occupied her entire heart. All her eyes would be on Lu Zhibei. No matter what, Liu Shuxian would prioritize Lu Zhibei.
"Er, Little Lu 'er, where have you been these past two years? "Did he really go abroad for treatment?" Qing Yuwen found a topic to talk about, but it was also the question of all of them.
Back then, Lu Zhibei had disappeared without a word. He had disappeared completely. This made them really want to know why.
Liu Shuxian also put down his chopsticks and listened quietly.
" Yes, my health isn't very good. I recuperated overseas for two years, but because of my family, all my original contact numbers have been deleted. I only came back recently," Lu Zhibei smiled and looked like he didn't care.
However, when she was abroad, she had been fed with countless drugs, needles, and machines. She had been fed with a fixed amount of medicine every day. Even though it had taken her a long time, her body had not recovered to its peak. However, it was fine for her to dance and exercise.
"How is your body now? Are you done?" Qing Yuwen's heart ached as she placed her hand on the back of Lu Zhibei's hand.
Liu Shuxian's heart ached for her, but when he saw Qing Yuwen's hand, his expression immediately turned cold and he even glanced at her.
When Lu Zhibei saw Qing Yuwen retract her hand, he smiled." Much better. Dancing is no problem." Qing was still as cowardly as before.
"Then, are you coming back? "We all missed you so much!" Qing Yuwen's eyes reddened. She knew that Old Liu wanted to ask this, but it was also something she wanted to ask.
Liu Shuxian slowly clenched her fists. She was very nervous. Although she knew that it would be better if Lu Zhibei didn't come back, she still wanted her to come back.
" It's not easy. My family doesn't agree." Lu Zhibei smiled embarrassedly, then lowered his head and remained silent.
Qing Yuwen wiped her tears. She didn't know how the lively and cheerful child from before had become like this. However, she didn't know what to say either because they couldn't force Lu Zhibei to come back.
Liu Shuxian also lowered his head, not knowing what to do.
Lu Zhibei turned his head and lifted her hair.
" The new hair color is very beautiful." The gentle voice once again reminded Liu Shuxian of the snowy day when they first met. She really couldn't bear to part with it. This also broke the last line of defense in her heart.
" Lu Zhibei, I-I beg you, please come back. Although I know this is selfish, I really miss you." Liu Shuxian couldn't hold it in anymore. She held Lu Zhibei's hand tightly and didn't dare to raise her head. Her tears fell on her pants and the floor.
Qing Yuwen remained silent. This was not the time for her to speak. Even if she did, she did not know what to say.
Lu Zhibei lifted Liu Shuxian's face and looked at her tear-stained face. He smiled. Her pink hair and her crying made her look quite pitiful.
" Don't cry." Lu Zhibei reached out and wiped Liu Shuxian's tears. Just like that birthday performance, Lu Zhibei was very good at coaxing people. Of course, he also knew how to coax Liu Shuxian.
