Real or Fake Missy : I Have a Piece of Godly Land Novel - Chapter 53
Chapter 53: Eating Peanuts
Lu Xiu was very happy that Lu Qi could enjoy a part of a normal person’s life instead of being trapped in a power struggle every day.
“What are you thinking about? Why did you suddenly stop talking?”
The Lu Qi in front of him suddenly overlapped with the Lu Qi who had saved him eight years ago. Lu Xiu threw those terrible memories to the back of his mind and only then did he realize that his eyes were actually burning.
If Lu Qi found out, how embarrassing would that be.
He deliberately rubbed his face with big movements, pretending that he was very sleepy.
“Nothing, I was just thinking about what Tiger Head said at dinner tonight. Go to sleep, don’t burn yourself out.”
He stood up from the chair and accidentally dropped Lu Qi’s black windbreaker on the ground.
He bent down to pick it up and found that there was some soil on the carpet.
“Huh? Why is there mud on your clothes? Did you work for Cheng Ling again?”
However, when he touched the bulging pocket on the side of the windbreaker, Lu Xiu knew the answer himself.
“You are actually secretly hiding the peanuts given by Cheng Ling!”
“What do you mean by ‘secretly hiding’? Cheng Ling gave them to me.”
Lu Qi added, “To me alone.”
Lu Xiu didn’t care about all this. He peeled a peanut and there were two round peanuts inside.
“Why are we still separated? We’re in one family.”
He put the peanut in his mouth and actually felt a little pious.
.
The peanut was actually not very tasty when it was raw. However, the peanuts grown by Cheng Ling didn’t have a astringent taste. Instead, it had a slightly sweet taste. The fragrance of the peanuts instantly filled his entire mouth. Lu Xiu felt that all the fatigue he had felt throughout the day had been washed away. His body felt as comfortable as if he had taken a hot bath.
His entire body felt comfortable.
He peeled another peanut and simply could not stop eating.
“After eating this peanut, I’ve really forgotten all the worries of the day. I now feel that I can still work for another 24 hours.”
Lu Qi raised his eyebrows. Was It really that tasty?
He walked over and peeled one of the peanuts from the pile of roots on the table and put it into his mouth.
Originally, he felt much better after eating the medicine that Cheng Ling had decocted for him. However, after eating a few peanuts, he felt that the gloominess that lingered in his heart had completely disappeared.
Just like what Lu Xiu said — he felt refreshed.
Thus, the two men, one standing and one sitting, began to eat peanuts at nearly twelve o’clock.
“Mr. Lu, are you here?”
When Lu Xiu entered, he did not close the door properly.
Cheng Xiao had just gone to Lu Xiu’s room to look for him, but no one answered. She came to knock on Lu Qi’s door, but she did not expect that the door was not properly closed. With a light push, it opened.
Thus, Cheng Xiao saw the scene of two men eating peanuts around the table.
She was obviously confused for a moment.
“It’s for you, Mr. Lu,” Lu Qi reminded Lu Xiu.
Lu Xiu could only stand up and take two more peanuts from the table before walking out.
“Close the door, I’m going to rest.”
Lu Qi’s voice came from behind. It was obvious that he wanted to leave the mess of Cheng Xiao to Lu Xiu alone to handle.
You were the head of the family and you had the final say!
Lu Xiu closed the door and secretly regretted that he did not take more peanuts and put them in the pocket of his suit. They would definitely be eaten away by Lu Qi alone.
When he saw Cheng Xiao standing in the corridor, his head hurt. However, he still had to deal with her politely.
“Miss Cheng, why are you looking for me so late at night?”
Compared to Lu Qi’s exquisite appearance, Lu Xiu’s facial features were more robust and his figure was tall. Cheng Xiao had only been in close contact with Lu Qi in the afternoon. Now that she looked at Lu Xiu, she actually felt that Lu Xiu was not as good looking as Lu Qi.
She recollected her thoughts and recalled Xie Wan’s advice to her.
With a shy smile, Cheng Xiao raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear. She read on the Internet that this kind of action could arouse a man’s possessiveness.
“Mr. Lu, Don’t call Me Miss Cheng. Just call me Xiao Xiao like my family.”
This… I was not able to say it out loud.
“This… isn’t appropriate. If others hear it, they might misunderstand our relationship. Miss Cheng and I are not related, so it’s better to be polite.”
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao stiffened and forced a smile.
She just wanted others to misunderstand their relationship.
“Then can I call you Brother Xiu?”
Ugh.
No.
“This… I’m afraid it’s not appropriate.”
Being rejected twice in a row, Cheng Xiao was a little embarrassed. But she couldn’t show it, so she nodded embarrassedly.
Her gaze fell on the two peanuts in Lu Xiu’s hand.
“Mr. Lu, did you not eat dinner? Shall I ask the kitchen to make some for you?”
“No, thank you. If Miss Cheng has nothing important, I’m going to rest.”
