sensible

Mao Qingdou feels that these days are even more in a trance, because no matter where she is, she seems to be able to see Lu Qiubai's shadow.

He took a brand-new bus and went to eat in a small restaurant in front of the former school, and found that the tomato scrambled eggs there were much more fragrant than other restaurants.After eating, for the first time ever, he went to the nearby lottery shop to buy another lottery ticket.

After winning the second prize in the lottery, a huge five-figure sum fell from the sky, Mao Qingdou just squinted her eyes and let out an "oh", took the time to receive the prize, and continued to negotiate with the next business partner in suits and ties.

He was dragged by Shi Qing and He Li to watch a movie, and when he checked the tickets, he saw a row of claw machines, and there was a tall figure in the crowd.Mao Qingdou rubbed her eyes, the man turned around, but it wasn't Lu Qiubai.Mao Qingdou sighed lowly, and followed the two into the screening room.

Several Transformers have been released, and Mao Qingdou has seen all of them. When passing by the door, there are people who look like students selling figures. He Li bought two, but Mao Qingdou doesn't want any of them. At a glance, I felt sleepy and wanted to go back to the lakeside hut to sleep.

Like countless nights, he knocked on the door first when he got home, but there was no sound in the house.Maoqingdou opened the door, and it was deserted.

Mao Qingdou went back to his hometown and caught a few fish from the fish pond, each of which was fatter than the other. Mao Qingdou personally cooked for Shi Qing and He Lie, and the two of them praised each other with bright eyes.

After eating two mouthfuls, Mao Qingdou put down his chopsticks, went out for a walk, and unknowingly came to the intersection of traffic lights.At that intersection, Mao Qingdou watched the traffic lights turn green for a while and red for a while, and the crowds and vehicles flowed in different directions in an orderly manner as the traffic lights changed.

Mao Qingdou walked to the cake shop that he was reluctant to open before, and he bought a small cake there.When I turned around, I met a child with clear eyes, carrying a schoolbag and standing looking at the cake in Mao Qingdou's hand.Mao Qingdou knelt down and handed the cake to the child. The child happily took it and ran forward with his schoolbag on his back.

The sound of reading came from the front.Mao Qingdou walked in the direction of a group of children carrying schoolbags, and found that the ruins after the disaster had turned into an elementary school.

Maoqingdou stood and listened to the sound of reading for a long time.Suddenly someone patted on the shoulder, and Mao Qingdou turned around to meet He Li's face.

He Li smiled and said, "Why did you come here alone?"

Maoqingdou didn't answer.Shi Qing came running over with high heels, pointing excitedly, and said, "Wow, the name of this elementary school is really funny, Doudou Hope Primary School, haha, Mao Qingdou, did you secretly build it?"

Mao Qingdou said with a low smile, "Shi Qing, don't laugh at me. I don't have the skills. The company is extremely busy every day."

Shi Qing smiled and said: "Look at you, you can't just tease me now. Work, work, work every day, don't you think about your life's major events?"

When He Li heard this, he gave her a slight push to show affection, and made a gesture of silence to her.Be sympathetic, never mention this matter again.

When Shi Qing's car was approaching the entrance of the West Market, Mao Qingdou suddenly wanted to get out of the car and walk back by herself.After a few words of advice, the two let him go.

Mao Qingdou walked aimlessly for an unknown amount of time, and unknowingly reached the door of the lakeside hut.

It turned out that no matter how unconscious I was, there was a voice in my heart pointing to my way home.

Mao Qingdou raised her hand to knock on the door.Suddenly he paused again, and put his hands back into his pockets.

Turned around, walked around the lake, over and over again.

There was a light rain in the sky, and Mao Qingdou walked to a familiar corridor, stood with his hands in his pockets on one side of the corridor, looking in the direction of the lakeside hut, his eyes never blinking.

He longed for the lights to come on in the lake house.

During countless nights in the past few years, he had hoped that the lights in the hut would be on when he returned home, and he always felt that there would be someone waiting for him there.

It's been so many years, Lu Qiubai, how are you doing outside?

After you left, the M Group collapsed suddenly. I don't know when, the M Group changed hands, and now it has become a commercially inconspicuous charity.

I also don't get as bad luck as I used to.

People don't use the old flip phones anymore.

There is no need to count on buying property every year on your birthday.

I also became rich.

Everything has changed.

The only constant is the lakeside cottage.

Everything remains the same as before.

Just to wait for Lu Qiubai who has no news and does not know where she is.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Maoqingdou's mind.

He ran back to the lakeside hut, took out the envelope from under the pillow, and the photo slid out. In the lower right corner of the photo, there was a string of extremely inconspicuous letters——

qb01.

Mao Qingdou suddenly laughed. He laughed at himself for being so stupid. After so many years, he never thought of this.

Mao Qingdou picked up the phone and said, "He Li, come here quickly."

He Li and Shi Qing went to the lakeside hut together, and when they opened the door, they found Mao Qingdou smiling brightly with a photo.

Shi Qing tugged at the corner of He Li's clothes: "He...couldn't be crazy?"

He Li nodded and said, "That's the only way to explain it."

Mao Qingdou laughed till she burst into tears, and invited the two of them into the room with her hips on her hips, and laughed for a while before calming down a little.

"Do you remember this photo? Back then, Lu Qiubai asked someone to deliver it. There was no postmark, no address, and the sender couldn't find it." Mao Qingdou said to them holding up the photo.

He still gave the photo to He Li, and said, "Look carefully at what else is on this photo."

He Li and Shi Qing looked at each other and looked carefully for a long time, but they didn't find anything special.

Mao Qingdou took it over and pointed to the code in the lower right corner, take a closer look, it's this.

He Li pushed his glasses, his eyes were almost pasted on the photo, and asked back: "Isn't this a code automatically generated by the camera?"

"It's a code." Mao Qingdou said, "But it's not automatically generated by the camera. It's a code that belongs to Lu Qiubai."

"A code belonging to Lu Qiubai?" the two exclaimed in shock.

Mao Qingdou gave a heavy "Yes" and said, "Some time ago, I met a netizen on the Internet, and I chatted with him for a long time, and then I found out that that person was Lu Qiubai."

"Ah?" He Li and Shi Qing looked at each other in shock.

"At that time, he used this name—codename qb01." Mao Qingdou continued.

He Li was still in shock and couldn't recover from the facts he heard just now, but Shi Qing suddenly said excitedly: "This, so to speak? So Lu Qiubai is still living under this code name?!"

He Li stared blankly at Shi Qing, but Shi Qing grabbed He Li by the collar, pulled him up, and kept asking: "He Li! Don't you know how to search? Don't you like collecting information the most? Hurry up! Use this number to search!"

He Li suddenly jumped up and said, "Okay, okay, quick! I'll search now!"

Half an hour later, He Li's face, which was deeply buried in front of the computer, finally slowly lifted up, and his complexion was not very good.Maoqingdou couldn't help becoming nervous: "How is it? Did you find it? Didn't you find it? Impossible!"

He Li zoomed in on the computer screen, revealing a name, which was the photographic work uploaded on the Internet under the code name qb01.He Li said: "It's not that you can't find them, but there are too many... If I'm not wrong, Lu has gone to many places over the years."

In the desert, on the glacier, by the sea, in the tropical rainforest, in the waterfall, in the jungle, in the bath, in the snow-capped mountains... This photographer, code-named qb01, has traveled almost everywhere, vividly expressing every beauty there.

Mao Qingdou suddenly felt her throat was a little dry.

He was almost certain by intuition that the person hiding behind so many photos must be Lu Qiubai.

He Li found the closest work on the website of the Photographic Association—it was a devastated and barren land, and in the corner of the picture was a Middle Eastern girl holding her head.

This photo won the association's Gold Medal.However, half a year after this photo, the code name qb01 has not logged in again.That is to say, the latest code-named qb01 information they have now is only a photo from half a year ago.

They don't even know which country it is.

He Li saved the photos on the desktop, and used the software to extract the detailed information of the photos.The photographic equipment is a famous brand, and the model is an old model from a long time ago. Because the shooting effect is very good, many photographers like to use that one.It is really difficult to find the owner of the camera through this information.

The thread breaks at this step.

Not long after, He Li called Mao Qingdou one evening, and emotionally said that he had found Lu Qiubai's clue again. Mao Qingdou was in a meeting, and when he received the news, he went out without looking back.

He Li handed over a thick stack of materials to Mao Qingdou.Inside is a piece of dense information.

In March 2015, donated 3 million to build a Hope Primary School.

In May 2015, donated 5 million yuan to build an orphanage.

In July 2016, a charity fund was established.

……

Mao Qingdou looked at it for a long time, and all the questions he had thought all these years had been answered.

He Li looked at Mao Qingdou from the side, and after seeing that he had read every message carefully, he asked in a low voice, "Mao Qingdou, what do you think?"

Mao Qingdou stood up, looked out the window, and said to herself, "I miss him so much."

It was difficult for Mao Qingdou to digest the information about Lu Qiubai she had just received.Although he has gradually become calm over the years, whenever he thinks of Lu Qiubai, his heart will ache.

What's even more frightening is that this pain has not been relieved by the passage of time.He only felt more and more pain, and the miss would never be the heaviest, only the miss that was better than the day.

He felt ridiculous.Only now did he realize that he always thought that the person he missed regarded him as a friend, but in fact, what Lu Qiubai always wanted was not friendship.

And he himself, no matter how dull he is, understands his feelings for Lu Qiubai.

That is a completely different feeling from He Li and Shi Qing.
