Detective Files II

Chapter 309 Appreciation Banquet

An hour later, the expressionless Lu Xiangdong, carrying two gift boxes in each hand, followed Tian Mi to Tian Mi's house for the first time.

When they were still on the road, Tian Yang made several phone calls, and when they were downstairs just now, Tian Mi noticed someone looking down from her balcony, so when the two of them just walked to the door, the door opened. Just opened it, and Tian's father, Tian's mother, and Tian Yang stood on both sides of the door to welcome, Tian Mi was not too surprised.

"The formations on both sides are not neat enough, and the number of people is not symmetrical. Do you need me to join in as a sponsor?" She took a peek at Lu Xiangdong, who was a little stiff behind her, and knew that such a formation made him nervous, so she opened the door with her parents first. joke.

Although it was very interesting for Tian Mi to see Lu Xiangdong, who was invulnerable to all poisons in the past, showing nervousness, but now she is in the same camp as the freak, and it is still necessary to take care of her allies.

Tian Mi's joke was very funny to Tian Yang's ears. He burst out laughing and waved to Tian Mi: "Come on, let's line up according to seniority and accept Dr. Lu's review."

"Tsk! You two!" Mother Tian cast a reproachful glance at her children, and reproached her in a low voice, "The guests are here, don't make trouble."

Then he turned his face and greeted Lu Xiangdong with a warm smile: "This is Dr. Lu! I've wanted to invite you to my house for a long time and have a casual meal. Today I finally have a chance. Come, come, Please come in!"

Tian's father was relatively silent on weekdays, allowing Tian's mother to talk about it, but he just stood aside smiling and nodded to Lu Xiangdong.

Lu Xiangdong entered the door under Tian's mother's warm greeting, nodded slightly to everyone without saying a word, and passed the gift box to Tian Mi.

Tian Mi couldn't help but secretly rolled her eyes at him, and ended up handing the item to Mother Tian: "Mom, Lu Xiangdong bought this for you and Dad."

"Look at you kid! Dr. Lu is polite, so you don't stop him! How can you let him spend money!" Mother Tian blamed Tian Mi.

"It should." Lu Xiangdong said aside.

Mother Tian looked at him, stunned for a moment, she seemed a bit overwhelmed by the sudden words from him who had been silent all this time.

"That's right, that's right, according to seniority, Xiang Dong is also a junior, and it's a normal etiquette to go to an elder's house to get things!" Tian Yang saw Lu Xiangdong standing there with a dull face and no plans to speak again, so he had to smooth things over for him. By the way, he also changed his title, which made Lu Xiangdong closer invisibly.

"Sit! Dr. Lu, please sit down! Tian Yang, don't stand still! Go and pour tea for Dr. Lu!" Tian's mother didn't know the twisted intestines in her children's stomachs, and she only thought that Lu Xiangdong was the one who saved her daughter. You are kind, so I greeted you warmly.

Tian Yang went to the kitchen to make tea as promised, and Tian Mi followed.

"If this is the old days, when the new aunt came to the door, wouldn't he still have to pour tea for my brother-in-law?" Tian Yang saw Tian Mi following, and teased her casually, "I have to tell Lu Xiangdong later that he owes him first. Mine, when the matter between the two of you is over, I will double make it up!"

"Brother, I have no idea!" Tian Mi pulled Tian Yang's skirt, followed him like a little tail, and said to him in a pitiful whisper, "You also saw that from the moment he entered the door, he was nervous like a Like a piece of wood, dumbfounded."

"It's already here, don't think so much, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up! Dr. Lu has even fought criminals, are you afraid that he can't beat our mother!" Tian Yang patted Tian Mi's head comfortingly. , Hurried her to the living room, "You are afraid that he will behave badly, why are you still following me here! Why don't you hurry over there and see this!"

Tian Mi just came back to her senses, and hurried back to the living room, saw Lu Xiangdong and Tian's mother sitting on the sofa facing each other, hesitated for a while, and obediently sat beside Tian's mother.

Mama Tian seemed to have said a lot of courteous words to Lu Xiangdong, but Lu Xiangdong still had a dull expression, which made Tian Mi anxious, hiding behind Mama Tian's back and winking to hint at him, but Lu Xiangdong turned a blind eye to it.

Fortunately, Tian's mother didn't care too much. After all, she invited people to come to accept the thank you, and she kept hearing her son talk about this eccentric genius doctor. Naturally, she didn't expect to get such an enthusiastic response, but Tian Mi knew their actual plan , don't mention how crazy I am.

Fortunately, this kind of hot-headed situation was quickly ended by Tian's father's sentence "It's time to eat". With the help of Tian Yang, a table of sumptuous meals was quickly served on the table, and five people gathered around the table Sitting down, Mother Tian took the lead in raising the wine glass in front of her.

"Dr. Lu, although I may have said this before, let me say it again. Thank you for saving our Tian Mi last time. If it weren't for you, this silly girl would not know what she is now!" Speaking of this matter, Tian's mother still had lingering fears.

"I won't let that happen." Lu Xiangdong responded firmly, his face still serious, or more accurately described as stiff.

Mother Tian was taken aback by his expression, and wanted to ask, maybe because she felt unfamiliar, but she didn't say anything in the end.

"I said, let's have a meal, don't do so many formalistic things! Xiao Lu can understand our intentions! Don't make the atmosphere so serious and depressing!" Although Tian's father didn't understand the reason, he said It could be seen that Tian Yang and Tian Mi hesitated to speak and Lu Xiangdong was tense.

Tian's mother glanced at her wife with dissatisfaction, but said nothing, picked up the chopsticks and began to pick up vegetables for Lu Xiangdong, and chatted casually about the daily life, with Tian Yang and Tian Mi making jokes, the atmosphere soon became lively After getting up, the two elders of the Tian family were very warm to Lu Xiangdong, and they kept adding vegetables to his bowl, as if they were afraid that the hospitality would not be good.

Lu Xiangdong has always been taciturn, and even his expression is more gloomy than ever, which makes Tian Mi feel anxious, and she deliberately hints that people don't even look at her, only to be anxious.

After finally finishing the meal, Tian Yang took the initiative to contract the task of washing the dishes, in order to be able to leave his parents, Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong in the living room.

Tian's mother didn't know the little girl in her daughter's belly, and she was busy cutting watermelon. Tian Mi stopped her, pulled her to sit on the sofa again, and called Tian's father to sit down together, and she sat down on the sofa. Beside Lu Xiangdong, facing the surprised eyes of his parents, he glanced at Lu Xiangdong with a tense expression beside him, took a deep breath, and said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, actually I have one more thing to tell you today, Lu Xiangdong and I , the two of us are in love."

Click.The piece of watermelon that Mother Tian picked up and was about to hand to Lu Xiangdong fell on the floor, the bright red flesh of the watermelon shattered all over the floor, and the black watermelon seeds jumped a few times on the floor and jumped a long way.

Tian's mother came back to her senses immediately, took out two paper towels from the table as if nothing had happened, bent down to wipe the melon pulp on the ground, and said with a smile: "Look, this man is old and his hands are not smooth. I can't hold anything steady."

Tian Mi looked at Father Tian and then at Mother Tian, ​​her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and she waited anxiously for their statement.

Mama Tian took another piece of watermelon from the fruit plate and handed it to Lu Xiangdong. Lu Xiangdong took it and thanked Mama Tian.

"You're welcome," Tian's mother looked at Lu Xiangdong with a smile, "I heard from our child, are you a teacher at J College, or a PhD student studying abroad?"

Lu Xiangdong nodded.

"That's great, neither of our two children has such a great future!" Tian's mother seemed to sigh with some regret, "You usually have to guide and guide our two incompetent children!"

Lu Xiangdong didn't make a sound or express his opinion, but just looked at Tian's mother quietly.

"Mom, what are you talking about? This is..." Tian Mi vaguely felt that there was something strange in her mother's words.

Tian's mother ignored Tian Mi's question, and continued to smile and chat to Lu Xiangdong: "Before you came, I thought, should I ask you to help find a young man of similar age for our children in the university?" , But after thinking about it, forget it, my girl, at best, she is sincere, but at worst, she is a silly girl. The masters and doctors in the university are too smart, let me call this silly child I'm really worried about handing it over to a master who is a monkey and a monkey!"

Unless Tian Mi is really a silly girl, for this reason, it is impossible not to hear Tian's mother's subtext that is too obvious to be obvious.

"Mom!" She couldn't help raising her voice.

Mother Tian ignored her, and also ignored Father Tian's movement of gently tugging at her sleeve, and continued to say to Lu Xiangdong in a pleasant manner: "Listen to our child, Dr. Lu has always taken good care of her, and our parents listened to it in our hearts." I am also very grateful, since we are friends, we must be friends for a lifetime! Regardless of whether we will get married or not in the future, we will still come and see each other often!"

Lu Xiangdong's face seemed to be wearing an iron mask, his expression was completely frozen, without any reaction, he quietly listened to Tian's mother's words, and stood up from the sofa.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I will take my leave first." He said to Tian's mother and Tian's father.

He turned around and quietly looked at Tian Mi who had red eye circles beside him, his eyes gradually changed from cold and hard to a kind of unresolved depression, his lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything after all.

He quickly walked to the door, changed his shoes, looked back at Tian Mi who was sitting on the sofa, sighed inaudibly, nodded to Father Tian and Mother Tian, ​​turned around, opened the door and walked out.
