Chapter 68: Boundaries
Although what Lu Zheng said was a bit disappointing, Lu Hua’s interest remained undiminished, and she was still in high spirits. She freed herself from Lu Zheng’s grip, and called Mother Zhang to serve a table of good food, and even took out a bottle of wine.
“This is sweet wine. It’s sweet and delicious.” Lu Hua told Lu Zheng and Chang Qing with a smile.
Lu Zheng didn’t say anything about not drinking. Lu Hua glanced at him and seeing that he was calm, she boldly handed the bottle to Chang Qing. “You open the wine and we’ll have a drink.”
Lu Zheng didn’t say anything about not drinking, but Chang Qing said, “You’re still young, one drink is enough.”
Lu Hua raised her chin and said, “One drink is enough. I’m not greedy.”
The Lu family’s love of drinking seems to be an innate interest. Lu Hua has a yearning for drinking at a young age. As soon as she saw Chang Qing undo the oak cork, she took the initiative to put a glass in front of him. “Fill it up, fill it up.”
Chang Qing filled the whole glass as she wished.
Lu Hua took a sip, her little white face was stained with a veil-like blush. She hummed and said, “This is the oldest wine in the old cellar. If none of you want to drink it then it’s a bargain for me.”
Lu Zheng paused, “Did you go to the old cellar to get the wine?”
Lu Hua whispered, “I asked Uncle Ding to get it for me, hehehe.”
Lu Zheng also wanted to have a drink, so he glanced at Chang Qing. Chang Qing understood and wanted to pour it for him, but Lu Zheng stretched out his hand to get the wine bottle, “I’ll do it myself.”
Chang Qing let go, and when he pulled away from Lu Zheng’s hand, his fingers accidentally touched the back of Lu Zheng’s hand. It wouldn’t make him care, but Lu Zheng trembled as if he had been stabbed, and almost dropped the wine bottle in his hand. Fortunately, his fingers tightened a little, and he squeezed the slender neck of the wine bottle again.
Chang Qing’s eyes swept across Lu Zheng’s face, with a little hesitation he said, “Hold it firmly, don’t let it fall.”
Lu Zheng said “Hmm” as if nothing had happened.
Chang Qing saw that he had poured himself a full glass. His gaze landed on Lu Zheng’s face again. He lowered his head. From this angle, he could only see his thick eyelashes.
Lu Zheng has good facial features. With narrow and long eyebrows, and the arcs of his eyes weren’t round, but always have a sharp look. He squinted his eyes slightly to look at people, and the look of unfriendliness was especially strong. But when he lowered his eyes and you could only see his thick eyelashes and the high bridge of his nose, he appeared to be a pure and harmless beauty.
None of this was important. Chang Qing felt that Lu Zheng’s appearance was a little different from before. But what was different he couldn’t say. He only felt that Lu Zheng’s aura was full of depression that makes people not want to talk.
But obviously only he felt that way. Lu Hua was as single-minded as ever. She talked to Lu Zheng about planting a garden at home and organizing the greenhouse and so on.
Lu Zheng was obviously not very interested, but he would also respond with a few words to Lu Hua. His attitude was also different from that of the past. On the contrary, Lu Hua had an indescribable mood. She just wanted to say more, so that her second brother, who had always been too lazy to care about her, would also say a few more words.
Lu Hua didn’t know if it was because she had been drinking, but her cheeks were blushing slightly. It also made her seem to be inexplicably excited. As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something, and said to Lu Zheng: “Second Brother, when will you bring me a second sister-in-law?”
Lu Zheng frowned and said simply, “Is that something you should worry about? If you have time to worry about me, you might as well worry about whether you’ll take last place in the next exam.”
Lu Hua: “…”
When Lu Hua heard him talking about the exam, her excitement immediately disappeared.
Lu Zheng didn’t care much about her studies, but it would be too embarrassing for her to be ranked last in the exams. The teacher called for her parents, but Lu Zheng didn’t go. Instead, Chang Qing came over and brought her back.
Lu Hua didn’t dare to say that she didn’t have to study so hard. She knew that she was just being stubborn. It was too embarrassing to be ranked last. Even if she didn’t like to study, it was rare for her to feel so ashamed and humiliated.
Lu Hua turned off the fire and didn’t make another sound. The table was completely silent, except for the ding-dong sound of the chopsticks touching the dishes.
After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.
In the future, Lu Zheng seemed to be true to what he had said. He would always come home. Even if he lived outside, he wouldn’t go overboard. When he came back, he still remembered to bring some gadgets for Lu Hua. Gradually, Lu Hua began to become closer to this second brother.
Chang Qing saw all this, and he should have felt relieved, but he always felt that there was something wrong. He couldn’t figure it out, so he didn’t think about it.
On this day, Qiao Zhenran contacted him again. During the days when Chang Qing asked for leave, he didn’t completely draw a line with Qiao Zhenran. As long as Qiao Zhenran didn’t talk about that aspect, Chang Qing would listen to him at work.
Qiao Zhenran contacted him this time to encourage him to become an H&C menswear model, “You have a good appearance. You are a good size and look, and you have a lot of personality. You can even enter the entertainment industry. Wouldn’t it be a waste of your talent to be an assistant by my side? If you have the intention, I’ll make you a star.”
Chang Qing asked suspiciously: “I’ve already rejected you. You’re not thinking about unspoken rules, are you?”
Qiao Zhenran choked embarrassed, and said: “I wouldn’t dare. I’m not a bad person. I’m pursuing you in an open and honest way. How could there be unspoken rules?”
Besides, he has such good conditions, no matter what he does, he can’t be reduced to unspoken rules.
“It won’t hurt to try,” he said sincerely. “If it works and you like it, there’s no need to be an assistant.”
Chang Qing didn’t have any thoughts. “No, I think it’s good to be a small assistant. I don’t have much to do. I can do reports and type information, and I don’t have to meet people. That’s good.”
Qiao Zhenran paused, then said quietly, “You’re not an otaku, are you?”
Chang Qing said, “How is that possible? “
Qiao Zhenran said: “Then are you afraid of meeting people? I don’t see you as a social phobic either. Are you afraid of meeting people at work?”
Seeing that his words were getting more and more outrageous, Chang Qing couldn’t help but stop him, “Why do you suddenly want me to be a male model? What are you planning?”
Qiao Zhenran said: “H&C is also one of the leading men’s fashion magazines in the country. They’re now recruiting models for the new issue next spring. I looked at the requirements, and your face suddenly appeared in my mind, so … I thought it was appropriate. Would you like to try it? The salary is also quite large, you should be satisfied. “

Chang Qing paused and asked, “How much?”
Qiao Zhenran said: “You can have 10,000 yuan at a time. You can completely rely on your face to eat. I think you can do it.”
Chang Qing didn’t say a word.
Qiao Zhenran said: “You don’t have to worry about me. Even if you reject me, I still want you to be well. I didn’t even drive Qiu Qianjin away.”
Chang Qing paused and asked, “Secretary Qiu really dated you?”
Qiao Zhenran saw that he had spilled the beans and didn’t hide anything. He continued, “He was my high school alumnus. There was a period in high school. Knowing that I was in Tianxing, he came to Tianxing to apply for a job and wanted to get back together with me.”
“And then what?”
Qiao Zhenran said: “Then I took a fancy to you and didn’t agree to get back together with him.”
Chang Qing said: “Oh.”
Qiao Zhenran saw that his reaction was indifferent, and continued, “He also understands the situation. I didn’t agree to get back together, and he won’t bother me anymore.”
Chang Qing said: “Then why can’t you figure it out?”
Qiao Zhenran thought for a while, and said calmly: “I think I got it in my head, but I won’t be able to figure it out for a while. How about you give me a chance to please you?”
Chang Qing couldn’t help being a little curious, “What do you like about me?”
Qiao Zhenran thought for a few seconds, then said, “Your face.”
“Just my face?” Chang Qing was a little disappointed, appearance is the most unreliable thing. If you can like his face today, then you can be attracted by other people tomorrow.
Chang Qing is someone who disregards face the most. He values a person’s character more.
Maybe Qiao Zhenran knew what he was thinking, and said in a low voice, “You look good when you smile, and you have a good personality.”
Chang Qing shook his head, didn’t say much, but asked about the modeling job in detail.
Chang Qing was obviously a little moved, so Qiao Zhenran naturally explained everything to him clearly.
After hanging up the phone, Chang Qing thought for a while, and then made another call to Zhang Xinyu. When talking about this matter, Zhang Xinyu naturally supported him. He said to Chang Qing, “Being a star is also tiring. There is almost no time for rest. If you don’t love this job, you shouldn’t enter it easily. There are too many things to learn and too many things to control. It’s not suitable for you. It’s fine to be a model. If you don’t like it, you can quit right away and experience a different life… .. .”
After talking to Zhang Xinyu, Chang Qing was able to put down his bad feelings.
It was also impossible for him to be idle all the time. Although he had been working out with the fitness instructor in the gym behind the Lu family villa, he couldn’t stay in the gym all the time. It would be nice to find something else for himself to do.
At dinner, Chang Qing talked about it at the dinner table.
Lu Zheng didn’t comment on this, but Lu Hua was very interested, “Is it fun to be a model?”
Chang Qing wasn’t sure, “It should be quite interesting.”
Lu Zheng said at this time, “You’re short, can you be a model?”
Chang Qing let out a breath, and then said: “The requirement is between 178-185 cm in height. I’m 178, so I just qualify.”
Lu Zheng didn’t say anything.
Lu Hua murmured, “If you were a girl, you could be anything at this size…Is that called a supermodel? You can become a supermodel. If it’s interesting, I’ll be a model too.”
Lu Zheng looked at her, remembered something and said, “You seem to have grown taller.”
Lu Hua was taken aback, “Have I grown taller? Me?”
Lu Zheng looked at her face and said with certainty, “You’ve grown taller.”
Lu Hua was surprised, “Really! I’ll go have a look! “
Lu Hua was still growing taller, and her appetite was increasing day by day. She ate a lot, and naturally, it was reflected in her growth. She found it troublesome to use a measuring tape, so she used a small knife to mark the door frame.
At this moment, she stopped eating and pulled Chang Qing to ask him to measure her height. Chang Qing had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and follow behind her to measure her height. The new black line on the door frame was much higher than the previous one. Lu Hua took a tape measure to measure the distance between the two black lines. It was 2.4 centimeters, that is to say, she was 165 cm!
Lu Hua was overjoyed, and said happily, “It will be good to grow to 168 cm, 168 is the prettiest and slimmest height.”
Lu Zheng said abruptly: “You’re only 13 years old, with a height of 165 cm. You’ll be as tall as me in a few years. Congratulations.”
Lu Hua: “…”
Lu Hua suddenly let out a scream.
She doesn’t want to keep growing! 180 was too tall, it wasn’t gentle and beautiful at all!!!
Lu Zheng watched her cover her face and wail, and a smile appeared on his lips, Then he raised his eyes to look at Chang Qing as if he felt something, and was just in time to catch Chang Qing’s gaze.
The smile on Lu Zheng’s lips didn’t change, but his eyes lowered. Until now, he had been quite clear about his intention to distance himself from Chang Qing. It had just never been said.
