"Hangzhou...it's a good season, you can drink tea," Emily pondered for a while, "Everyone should have been there, but besides the West Lake, there are many new places developed now, and there are many small and fresh homestays with good scenery to live in. , let me ask you!"

Colleagues discussed lively for a few noon, and finally actually decided on Hangzhou as the destination of this trip.

In the next few days, apart from normal secretarial work, Emily has been busy booking a trip to Hangzhou.But because it was the peak season, He Jing heard that she made many phone calls, but couldn't find the hotel she wanted.

"What if I can't get an order!" When eating together at noon, Emily frantically poked a piece of grilled eel in front of her with her chopsticks.

Jennifer was not as excited as she was, and asked leisurely: "Are there any vacancies in the agreed hotel?"

Emily said angrily: "The agreement hotel is in the financial district, not to mention the scenery, the facilities are all the same, what is there to live in?"

He Jing felt that his proposal had brought her a lot of trouble, so he said weakly, "How about changing the place?"

However, his suggestion was immediately met with a sharp eye—Emily is a typical Virgo, and she was planning to live in a B&B, but not being able to book one would be worse than death.

Seeing that He Jing had hit a snag, everyone stopped trying to persuade her, but just lowered her head and ate in silence, leaving her to tangle herself.

Lin Qiao has been very busy recently, so she doesn't bother to take care of such trivial matters, so she naturally doesn't know anything about Emily's entanglements.On the other hand, He Jing, who was going to travel with his colleagues for the first time, was quite looking forward to it.

"Our group is going on a trip next week, and we haven't booked a room yet. Emily is going crazy, and no one dares to mess with her recently."

During dinner, He Jing and Han Zhao casually talked about travel.

"It's been a winter, and many people go outing. It must be difficult to book popular places." Seeing that He Jing loves sweet and sour short ribs, Han Zhao pushed the plate in front of him, "Where are you going?"

"Hangzhou..." He Jing said, glanced at Han Zhao secretly, and quickly added, "Stay overnight on weekends, and come back the next day."

Since that night in Chongming, he and Han Zhao have never mentioned Hangzhou or his ex-boyfriend.However, not telling doesn't mean forgetting—the closer He Jing is to Han Zhao, the more He Jing wants to know, what kind of person can fascinate him so much that he can't forget him even after breaking up?Even the city related to that person aroused his curiosity.

However, after he tried to name the travel destination, Han Zhao didn't speak for a long time.

With a sinking heart, He Jing's eating movements slowed down.After the two ate in silence for a while, Han Zhao suddenly asked him, "It's your boss who said you're going to Hangzhou?"

He Jing shook his head and swallowed the rice in his mouth: "The colleagues ordered it, saying that there are many scenic spots and characteristic homestays in Hangzhou, which are more interesting than big hotels."

"It's too late to book a homestay, didn't the boss help find someone?"

"Lawyer Lin has been very busy recently, how dare you bother him with such a trivial matter?"

Han Zhao said "Oh", and continued to eat slowly. He didn't ask until the rice bowl was about to bottom out, "How many rooms do you want to book?"

"Four or five rooms." He Jing didn't quite understand the specific arrangement.

Han Zhao nodded and stopped talking.

After dinner, He Jing was in charge of washing the dishes, cleaning the table, and taking out the trash. When he finished his work, he came out of the kitchen and saw Han Zhao sitting at the desk, beckoning him to come over.

"My friend's friend opened a homestay in a scenic spot in Hangzhou, and there may still be rooms," Han Zhao handed He Jing a post-it note when He Jing walked up to him, "You ask your colleagues to call and ask."

The word "Guang Yin" was written on the note, plus an English name Rika and a string of phone numbers.

"You said it was introduced by you?"

Han Zhao shook his head: "No, the innkeeper doesn't even know me - I left Emily's name."

He Jing carefully put the note into his business notebook, then hugged him and kissed him: "I love you to death!"

The next day, He Jing handed the note to Emily, and the other party took a look at it and shouted: "I know this one! It's opened in Manjuelong, it's very famous, okay? It is recommended to book one month in advance!"

He Jing was taken aback. Han Zhao didn't finish his speech yesterday, so he just asked to ask. Now he is not sure.

However, before He Jing could say anything, Emily picked up the phone and called.

"Ah, what a coincidence, someone just checked out?!" After saying a few words, Emily beamed, and said "Okay, okay" and "OK, okay" into the microphone.

At the end of the phone call, she promised proudly: "I will pay the deposit online immediately, please reserve the room for me!"

"He Xiaojing!" After hanging up the phone, Emily said loudly, "Tell me what you want for lunch today!"

Just after the opening of the Chinese New Year this year, the stock market has been climbing all the way to record highs. The New Third Board, A-share B-share red chips, and capital markets related to the mainland are all as active as chicken blood.Lin Qiao's business is closely related to this, the whole team follows the rhythm of the market, new projects are received softly, and everyone is extremely busy.

Lin Qiao has to deal with countless emails every day. For the travel | itinerary sent by Emily, he only glanced at the meeting place and time on the title, and didn't click on the mouse.

On Saturday morning, it was Xie Rui who dragged him out of bed and drove him to the institute for assembly.Asked where he was going to play on the way, Lin Qiao replied lazily: "I don't know...as long as they are happy, I am only responsible for paying the bill."

"Be careful," Xie Rui glanced at him, "If you're too tired, don't go shopping with me, hide in the room and sleep for a while."

Lin Qiao yawned: "Look."

We all know that the boss hates being late, so everyone gathers downstairs in the office on time.Along the way, the weather was sunny and sunny, and the sun shone on my body through the filmed window glass, making me sleepy with warmth.Lin Qiao sat in the co-pilot's seat, listening to the chirping conversation behind him, and fell asleep leaning against the window before leaving the city.

He vaguely remembered that the car was driving at the entrance of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway. When he woke up and opened his eyes, he saw a sign [-] kilometers away from downtown Hangzhou.

Slightly startled, he asked the driver: "Master, are we going to Hangzhou?"

The driver master nodded: "Yes, it will be here soon!"

Lin Qiao looked at his watch. It had been more than two hours since he left the car. If the road conditions in downtown Hangzhou were better, he would arrive in half an hour.

Colleagues sitting in the back row were exchanging snacks. Seeing him wake up, Emily handed him a piece of chocolate and a bottle of mineral water.

Lin Qiao picked it up and asked, "Shall we go to Hangzhou?"

"Yeah," Emily wondered, "Lawyer Lin, don't you know? I mentioned it in my email."

"No." Lin Qiao unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and took a sip of water, "I thought you've all been there."

"Except for He Jing, I have been to them all," Emily explained, "But in recent years, there are more and more interesting places in Hangzhou, and now there is Mingqian Longjing to drink - this time I booked a homestay in Manjuelong , it is said that the scenery is very good.”

"Manjuelong..." Lin Qiao repeated in a murmur, with an imperceptible wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

The driver master followed the signs and drove all the way to the urban area smoothly.The car drove past the West Lake, and after a few intersections, Lin Qiao reminded him, "Master, change lanes to the right. You will turn right at the next intersection."

"Huh? Lawyer Lin, do you even know the roads in Hangzhou?"

Lin Qiao looked at the scenery outside the window, and answered after a while: "I have driven here by myself, and I am familiar with it after driving around a few times."

After a few turns, the car arrived at Manjuelong smoothly. Emily gave the printed hotel map to the driver, but Lin Qiao kept looking out of the window and did not speak again.

Familiar scenery flashed before his eyes, and he found himself unable to speak, and asked Emily which homestay she had booked.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a three-story Japanese-style wooden hotel. Emily looked around, shouted "Here we are, we are here", and jumped out of the car excitedly.

Colleagues got out of the car one after another, and Emily rushed into the hotel to check in with the booking form in her hand.He Jing helped her carry the luggage, and followed her in with other colleagues.

Lin Qiao was the last one to walk. He stood in front of the wooden gate of the hotel. He didn't move in until his colleagues were far away.

On Saturdays during the peak tourist season, the homestay is very lively.In the yard behind the door, there are tourists sitting in twos and threes, drinking coffee, having tea and chatting.

Lin Qiao took out the cigarette case and lit a cigarette, watched the commotion in the yard silently, and smoked the whole cigarette one after another.

Looking at the cigarette butt in his hand that could no longer be shortened, he sighed and pushed open the wooden gate.

Emily was looking for him when she stepped across the courtyard into the lobby.

"Lawyer Lin," Emily was sitting in front of the bar, while filling out the check-in information, she turned to him and said, "I want your ID card."

Lin Qiao walked over, took out his ID card, and put it on the bar.

At the bar, the proprietress who was helping them check in took the ID card, and after looking at it, she raised her head in surprise and said "ah".

Lin Qiao nodded towards her:

"Rika, long time no see."
