Chapter 880: More Than Two Years Ago

Lu Huaiyu had been in a car accident two years ago?

He had never mentioned it before.

Subconsciously, Shen Li held her breath.

Then, she heard Lu Huaiyu’s carefree-sounding voice.

“I’m fine, you don’t have to worry.”

His tone was the same as always. It was as if this was merely a small matter which he did not really take to heart.

Angus, on the other hand, sighed. Looking at Lu Huaiyu, who had a smile playing at the corner of his lips and an indifferent expression, Angus remained silent for a long time.

At that time, not long after Lu Huaiyu had left Fino Laboratory, he had received the news that Lu Huaiyu had been in a car accident.

He was, after all, a junior that Angus greatly admired. Angus had paid special attention to this matter and even made a phone call to ask about his condition.

At that time, the answer he received was that his life was not in danger.

In fact, Lu Huaiyu had very quickly been discharged from the hospital.

After hearing this news, Angus had felt greatly relieved.

Later, however, he realized that things were not as simple as he had thought.

That was because Lu Huaiyu had taken a long time to recuperate after he was discharged from the hospital.

He had turned down all his work and social activities, seemingly disappearing overnight.

Angus had asked around and found out that he had left the Capital and gone somewhere else to recuperate.

It had not been for just a week, not a month, but for a whole year.

No matter which way Angus thought about it, he felt that it was too long.

However, somewhere during that time, Lu Huaiyu had borrowed some books from him. Later on, when he found out about Shen Li’s existence, he had thought about it and realized that she was probably the reason for it.

It was true that Lu Huaiyu had returned to the Capital after Shen Li had been admitted to Xijing University.

That was also why he had specifically asked Lu Huaiyu to come here today. He had wanted to ask about his condition.

Fortunately, Lu Huaiyu did not seem to be having any problems now.

Angus wanted to ask a few more questions, but when his eyes encountered Lu Huaiyu’s dark eyes and saw the calmness in them, he suddenly did not know what to say.

After a long time, he put down his coffee and said, “That’s good.”

Knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Both of them turned their heads.

Angus asked, “Who is it?”

The door was pushed open and Shen Li entered.

“Professor Angus, Second Brother.”

Lu Huaiyu’s deep phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately got up and walked over to her.

“Why are you here? Where’s Teacher Shen?”

“Dad had something to do, so I said I’d come over here to take a look.”

Shen Li asked, “Second Brother, I didn’t disturb you, right?”

Lu Huaiyu smiled and said,”No.”

Angus leaned back against his chair and said,”It looks like I’m the one who’s disturbing you two.”

He smiled and waved his hand.

“Alright, Huaiyu, you should go and show her around again.”

Lu Huaiyu responded with a smile and led Shen Li away.

In addition to the data processing building’s observation platform, there was also a basketball court, tennis court, and other places for researchers to have fun. There was even a small garden with a very nice landscape.

Lu Huaiyu and Shen Li strolled around slowly.

At this time, there were not many people outside.

Lu Huaiyu would occasionally tell her about the interesting things that had happened during the year that he had spent there.

Shen Li listened, finding it very interesting.

Lu Huaiyu did not often talk about these things before. Now that they were walking here together and she listened to him talk about such things, she felt as if they were partic.i.p.ating in the experience together.

This was actually quite a nice feeling.

However, Shen Li still had something else on her mind.

She hesitated for a long time, until finally, at a certain moment, she suddenly stopped and took his hand.

She raised her head slightly to look at him and asked, “Second Brother, were you… involved in a car accident before?”

From the moment Lu Huaiyu had seen her appear outside the office door, he knew that she must have heard what he said, so he was not surprised to hear her ask about it now.

He smiled.

“Yes, it was a long time ago.”

Shen Li pursed her lips.

“Then, was it serious?”

Lu Huaiyu’s tone was languid.

“I was wearing a seatbelt. Also, I managed to get to the doctor in time, so it wasn’t that serious.”

Shen Li looked at him but did not say anything.

The corners of Lu Huaiyu’s lips curved slightly. He leaned closer and said with a smile, “Look at me now. Does it look like I was affected very badly?”

Shen Li suddenly took a step forward and raised her arm to wrap it around his slender waist.

Lu Huaiyu was slightly startled.

Then, he felt her soft hand land on a certain spot on his back.

Her touch was very light.

She hugged him and leaned against his chest, her voice sounding a little m.u.f.fled as she spoke.

“The wound here, was that left behind from that time?”

She had once accidentally barged into Lu Huaiyu’s master bedroom and happened to catch him while he was changing clothes.

Actually, it had only been a glance, but that scene had been too clear. It had been etched in her mind and could not be forgotten.

The man’s square shoulders, broad back, narrow waist, and firm and perfect muscle lines…

As well as the distinct scar on his back.

At that time, she had not asked about it in detail. Now that she thought about it, she surmised that it was probably something that had been left behind by the car accident.

Lu Huaiyu lowered his eyes slightly before he started to laugh.

“Yes.”

Shen Li’s forehead pressed against his chest.

“Why didn’t Second Brother mention it before?”

Lu Huaiyu stroked her hair, pulled her out of his embrace, and looked at her.

He asked with a low laugh, “Does your heart ache?”

Shen Li nodded.

Lu Huaiyu’s heart moved slightly.

“It happened a long time ago, and it wasn’t very serious, so I didn’t think of telling you about it.”

Actually, Shen Li understood what he really meant. He had probably not wanted her to know about it so that she would not be unnecessarily worried.

If she had not overheard it being mentioned today, he probably would not have brought it up at all.

She asked,”Did it happen two years ago?”

Lu Huaiyu looked into her eyes.

“Yes, it’s been more than two years.”

More than two years ago…

Shen Li thought of something and frowned slightly.

“Speaking of which, two years ago, I also–”

“Huaiyu! Shen Li!”

A voice suddenly sounded out, interrupting Shen Li as she spoke.
