Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

"The boss raised their daughter alone, but unfortunately, a year ago... Anyway, this is the boss's sad place. No one is allowed to come here. We just come here occasionally to sweep the floor."

Seeing that she didn't move, the staff member frowned and urged her, "Little girl, please leave quickly. Don't embarrass me. If the boss sees me, I won't be able to keep my job."

Li Fumei noticed the embarrassment on his face and nodded: "Okay, I'll leave now."

After taking the person out, the staff locked the small door before feeling relieved.

The two hadn't walked far when a figure rushed over and knelt on the ground, grabbing the staff member's trouser legs and crying, "Qingshan, my son, where are you?"

"...Why are you here again, you crazy woman? Didn't I tell you long ago that your son resigned and went to northern Myanmar with someone else? Don't come to our farm stay anymore."

"I've shown you all the surveillance footage. Your son did leave here alone. We really don't know his whereabouts."

The old woman had messy silver hair and tattered clothes. She looked no different from a beggar. Her eyes were empty and blank as she grabbed the other person's trouser leg.

The staff had no choice but to pull the man up and drag him to the door, and called security to send him away.

Li Fumei followed him and looked at the man sitting on the ground crying. She squatted down and handed him a bottle of water. "What's wrong with you? Your son used to work here."

The crazy woman grabbed the water, opened it and started to drink it. After she finished, she held it in her arms, muttering with empty eyes: "Qingshan, my Qingshan, where are you?"

"Hey, can you hear me?"

Seeing that the other party didn't react at all, Li Fumei pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the security guard's voice: "That crazy woman is causing trouble again, quickly send her away."

"There have been a lot of customers lately. If we see a crazy woman, it will affect our image. The boss will not let us off."

"Little girl, this crazy woman can hurt people when she gets mad. Don't get close to her. If you get hurt, it will be hard to recover."

Li Fumei slowly stood up and looked at the old woman being dragged. She carefully examined her face and hair and said expressionlessly, "She is only in her fifties, how come her hair is all white?"

A trace of guilt flashed across the security guard's face. "...Why is the little girl asking so many questions? Hurry back. We'll take her far away and make sure she doesn't disturb you."

Returning to the farmhouse with doubts, Li Fumei sat in the yard, enjoying the breeze and looking at the yellow ginkgo leaves blown to her feet. She picked them up and held them in her hands.

The voice was barely audible: "Is there something you want to tell me?"

Soon it was time for dinner. They sat down at the table, refreshed, and ordered a table full of farm-style dishes. Xing Fei greeted them, "Thank you for your hard work at the resort. Come and try the food here."

"Although it's not considered a delicacy, it's fresh and grown on farms. It doesn't contain any additives and is very safe. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

"Yes, alright, Captain."

Xu Qianqian glanced at the girl beside her and saw her playing with a leaf in her hand. She asked casually, "What is Fumei looking at? Why isn't she eating her vegetables?"

"Hey, where did these yellow ginkgo leaves come from?"

Li Fumei shook her head. "No, it's a ginkgo tree that someone has planted at the farmhouse that's over 20 years old. The whole tree is so lush and leafy that it's turned golden yellow, and there's a thick layer of ginkgo on the ground."

"You mean the ginkgo leaves are turning yellow now? No, that's not the season yet. Ginkgo leaves don't turn yellow in this season."

"I don't know, I saw it over there."

Xu Qianqian didn't think much about it and said casually: "Oh, is it out of season? Okay, let's eat first, and after we finish eating, take me to see some places and take some photos."

"This golden ginkgo tree is very beautiful. Taking photos under it is also very artistic."

"No, you're not allowed in there."

"Ah, why are you not allowed to go in?"

Li Fumei briefly explained what happened, and was a little hesitant about whether to talk about it. What was the whimpering sound she heard? Was it really the ginkgo tree crying?

"There's another thing. When I was looking at the ginkgo tree over there, I vaguely heard crying. It was like... the ginkgo tree was crying."

"The staff member said that the ginkgo tree was green two days ago, but now it's golden yellow. Sister Xu, if the ginkgo tree changes color, how could it change so quickly?"

Xu Qianqian thought for a moment and shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know much about this either. Anyway, the ginkgo trees in our university only turned yellow in September and October."

"When everything turns yellow, we pick up the leaves and make small crafts, or make them into bookmarks to give to others. They are quite commemorative."

"I've never seen anything turn yellow in July."

This topic immediately aroused the curiosity of the others. Not to mention that they really wanted to go and take a look, but the door was locked, and it would not be appropriate to break in without permission.

Xing Fei said, "Okay, don't be curious if you shouldn't be. Didn't the staff say that it was planted by the boss and his deceased wife? They don't want people to see it."

"If you go and get caught, that would be so embarrassing, right? Don't mess around, you know? It's not appropriate to go in when the door is locked."

Li Wenhao blinked, his eyes full of curiosity.

A few people hummed and continued eating.

After dinner, it was completely dark. A few people strolled in the yard, walked along the path beside the lotus pond, and came to the pavilion, where they felt very comfortable in the breeze.

Li Wenhao leaned back in his chair and stretched comfortably.

"Well, it's still more comfortable here. The wind is so cool."
