Huge crowd

In the evening, the sunset glow of Yingcheng is like a painting painted in gold, which is so bright that it burns people's eyes.

The bazaar in front of the Great Indus Square has already opened with the sound of gongs. In the crowded commercial square, vehicles of all sizes from various shops lined up along the road in the square.

Tolu is the blessing of this dog-headed military commander. During this period of time, besides selling flowers, Yunyun has also done a lot of "non-business" small businesses, but it has become very popular. The organizer arranged a very good location. Gu Yu Xie's minivan was squeezed into the popular pit in the middle, with a handful of brilliant sunflowers planted on the top of the car's head. From a distance, they were the most conspicuous.

A car full of fresh cut flowers and domestic green plants was hidden in the trunk of the minivan. Gu Yuxie and Liu Ye moved out dozens of plastic buckets filled with nutrient solution and potted plants of various sizes. The value is really recruiting, the stall is the largest and the most eye-catching, the girls came to the flower stall to ask Gu Yuxie about this and that, and pestered Gu Yuxie to give more gifts He is willing to give away a pot of moss that he has touched with his own hands, and the business is so lively that it attracts people.

Lu Zheng asked the organizer to find out the location of Yunyun's booth early on, and used Lao Yu's license plate number to reserve a vacant seat under the big sycamore tree, looking for a place where he could watch the "flowers" from across the bank.He parked the little yellow car, climbed onto the roof and sat on the sunroof, watching Gu Yuxie busy in the crowd from a distance.

More and more people came out for a walk after dinner, and the square was crowded with people. Lu Zheng had to tilt his head back and forth to see Gu Yuxie's figure in the gap. He was wearing a light brown linen shirt with rolled cuffs today. On the forearm, the snow-white skin was exposed, and Yunyunli's denim apron was tied on the body, showing a slender waist.Gu Yuxie was patient and kind to all the guests, with a slight smile in the corners of her eyes, her thin forehead hair brushing her eyebrows, she looked bright and charming, and the girls around her were like leeks that could not be pulled out for a moment. stopped.

Lu Zheng took a sip of the aged vinegar that fell from the sky, and whistled to the girl at the beverage stall next to him: "Can you send me two cups of sour plum juice to the flower stall over there?"

The young lady at the beverage shop was busy doing business, and didn't have time to lift her head. She shouted at Lu Zheng, "Look where I'm free. I'll make it for you and send it yourself."

Lu Zheng curled his lips, raised his mobile phone and scanned the huge payment QR code on her bunk. After finishing an order for an unknown amount, the young lady's eyes lit up, showing her grinning grinning face. Two cups of sour plum juice rushed left and right among the crowded guests and rushed to the flower bed.

Lu Zheng shouted at her from the roof of the car: "Remember to tell the boss that it was given by his partner."

The straightforward girl quickly stuffed two glasses of chilled plum juice into Gu Yuxie's hands, said "Your partner gave it to you", then turned around and ran towards her business booth in a hurry.

Gu Yuxie stared at the drink in his hand in a stormy confusion, and the girls around him burst into heart-pounding groans of "Wow" and "Axi".

Liu Ye sneaked in and leaned against the car door, sucking the drink that was so sour that it creaked. His eyes caught a glimpse of the yellow car under the big sycamore tree not far away. The handsome guy on the top of the car was gloating. , he rushed to Gu Yuxie and said, "I'm going to the bathroom, just stare for a while."

"Okay, you go."

Mr. Liu wore a small flower apron around his neck, and he leisurely paced under the yellow mini car. Lu Zheng said to him, "Master Liu, come up."

Sixth Master visually inspected the car model, and it is not too big, but with his skill, I am afraid it will be a mess.Lu Zheng moved to the side, unlocked the car door, let Liu Ye step on the back seat and dragged him up from the sunroof.

"Hey, who's car is this? It's so dirty!" Sixth Master finally climbed up and sat down, but also disliked the dirty roof of Lao Yu's car, so he kept patting his trouser legs.

"How is business?" Lu Zheng asked.

"You asked after you saw it!" Liu Ye said, "If it weren't for the girl you sent to shout, there would be crowds and groups of girls waiting to line up to be flower farmers."

Lu Zheng laughed in a muffled voice. The sixth master patted Lu Zheng's shoulder, and looked in Gu Yuxie's direction with him. Among the flowers and grass, Gu Yuxie was already so busy that there was a fine line of sweat on his back.

Sixth Master sighed: "Xiao Yu, it's really not easy."

"It's not easy for you. Yu Xie told me about you and...that uncle."

Sixth Master put his arms around his knees, looked up at the sky, with a shy smile involuntarily at the corner of his mouth.

In Lu Zheng's simple understanding of feelings, domineering possession, outrageous demands, and embarrassing tearing are not absurd things. It seems that all love is like a wave of ups and downs in a heat wave, entangled with each other, never ending. end.He had never seen on anyone's face the peace and serenity of Liu Ye when he recalled his lover. He tightly closed his lips, said nothing, and was stingy with words, as if he was someone who was waiting for him to go home for dinner every day. Instead of experiencing life and death parting, people who have already left him.

It was the first time for Lu Zheng to feel the kind of weightlessness, like mountains and mist, years like docile birds, fluttering past without making a sound, and also like in the calm and breezy yearning, Liu Ye firmly believed that they would always meet again See.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng suddenly blamed himself a little. Before he and Gu Yuxie parted ways that day, he was still too impatient. He didn't even have a decent confession, so he wanted to grow old forever.

Sixth Master patted Lu Zheng and asked, "What, are you discouraged?"

"No, I feel that I'm too impatient. After paying one point, I wish he could see that the remaining nine points have been prepared for him. If he doesn't see it, I feel wronged."

Liu Ye smiled: "Xiao Yu is a slow person, thinking of taking a step back in everything, like a startled cat, who doesn't trust people."

"Don't trust people?" Lu Zheng smiled wryly, "Yeah, regardless of feelings, I have mentioned Yunyun's relocation plan to him many times, and he probably just doesn't trust me."

"Lu Zheng, it's not your fault."

"?"

"Xiao Yu... also has her own difficulties," Liu Master said with a serious mind, vaguely revealing the hesitation of not knowing where to start. Lu Zheng just waited quietly without urging.

"Xiaoyu was a very good landscape architect back then. After graduation, he took on several garden renovation projects in Europe. His fame and reputation were very impressive. Later... he studied abroad and led a team to participate in the world landscape design competition with his mentor. , the theme of the competition that year was...it seems to be industrialization and environmental protection, I can't remember clearly, Xiaoyu was the main creator of that work, he chose an abandoned industrial plant as a prototype, and kept all the abandoned industries The combination of equipment and mechanical equipment and landscape design makes the abandoned factory building a carrier of natural cultivation, creating a regional landscape image that combines factories and gardens. His original intention is to call on people to pay attention to the recycling and green recycling of industrial waste, but... ..."

Lu Zheng frowned, and his breathing became tense. He remembered the few words Gu Yuxie had mentioned to him about this competition that day in the Rose Maze, and it didn't sound like a good result.

"The concept is intangible. You say so, but others think it is like that. It's easy to be taken away from the rhythm." Liu Ye continued, "Xiao Yu led the team to fight for a long time, and the factory building The equipment, machinery and their design plans were made into models, but just the day before the competition, it was rumored that his works were meant to promote and exaggerate the achievements of industrialization, and he regarded waste pollution as a treasure. As soon as his work was published, others followed this distorted interpretation to understand the work, and they really felt that they really meant it, and immediately angered a group of local radical anti-industrial environmentalists, who pulled banners outside the factories they chose to protest The demonstrations were very ugly, and naturally they lost the game."

Lu Zheng recalled: "Brother Yu said that after that game, his mentor told him a sentence, 'The sun shines on good people, but also on bad people'. Is it related to this?"

Master Six sighed deeply, and nodded: "I only found out later that the one who spread the messy rumors to mislead the public was their competitor and a girl Xiao Yu liked very much at the time. That girl was brought up by another school. The main creators of the team, they are... They used to be very good friends, and they agreed to start a company and do design together after graduation. Xiaoyu also trusted too much, so she didn't take precautions when the girl came to inquire about their design direction and creative philosophy The truth was revealed to her, and it ended up like that... Xiaoyu felt that she had lost the game, that she was sorry for her teammates in the same group, and that she had failed her mentor, and she couldn't face the betrayal of her good friend. Yunyun, I have lost contact with my classmates and teachers back then. Sometimes I feel that there is a child like Chunlai living in Xiaoyu's heart, trapped in one place, and has never been able to get out."

Lu Zheng: "I think I know why he always looks like he refuses people thousands of miles away. He doesn't believe anything I say. It's not that he doesn't want to believe it, but he can't believe it."

What he said sounded dejected, but Liu Ye keenly revealed a different flavor, and arched his shoulders: "What are you selling, I just want to say that Yu Xie is willing to believe in you."

Lu Zheng spread his hands and said, "I believe it's useless. Even if I throw a contract in black and white in front of him now, he might not even look at me, and even talk to me about why oranges don't like to move, so much so that he would tie Yunyun with half of his neck." It’s like the soil never moves.”

"Heh kid, I'll just fool you." Liu Ye smiled, "He means potted kumquats, right? Well, the reason why plants don't like to move is probably because they are facing the sun. It's not that they can't move. It will not disturb the lighting, next time you press this to go back."

"Next time..." Lu Zheng shook his head, "I don't know when we will meet next time."

The sixth master asked, "Why, won't you come for Chunlai's birthday tomorrow?"

Lu Zheng slapped his head: "Oh fuck! I forgot!"

"Okay, let's talk again when you come tomorrow. Xiao Yu mentioned to me about the relocation today, so you can work harder... Then, by the way, I will tell you that Gu Yuxie is at least in our distribution today. On the record sheet, I wrote a hundred words of 'positive'." Liu Ye raised his eyebrows and glanced at the wonderful expression on Lu Zheng's face, and asked with a smile, "How is it, is this enough energy?!"

"Enough, enough!" Lu Zheng jumped off the roof of the car as if he had taken medicine, and was about to rush out, but was stopped by the sixth master: "Hey, you boy, come back! I'm here, how can I get down!"

Lu Zheng just came back to his senses, and found that Liu Ye was alone on the roof of the car and couldn't get off. He stretched out his hand and said, "Liu Ye, you jump, I will follow."

"Oh, I don't want to jump, I'm afraid!" Liu Ye looked around delicately, even the orchid finger propped on the roof of the car was too dirty, let alone other difficult moves.

Lu Zheng took out the car keys: "Sixth Master, move to the side, yes, right there, sit on the sunroof and sit firmly!"

The top cover of the sunroof was removed, and Master Liu plopped onto the sofa in the back seat, howling.

The Sixth Master came out from the back seat with his arms on his back, cursing and swearing. Lu Zheng supported him and shook his shoulders with a smile. The Sixth Master said weakly, "You bastard, I'll let Xiaoyu blackmail you when you get back!"

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Sixth Master waved his hand: "Okay, your Sixth Master is not that old yet, I have things to go first, Xiao Yu's minivan is not easy to drive, you can see him off later."

"Success, leave it to me."

Sending off the sixth master, Lu Zheng went back to the car to smoke while waiting for Gu Yuxie to close the stall.It was almost ten o'clock, and there was still a constant stream of people in the square, but Gu Yuxie's goods were almost sold out. He finished cleaning up the garbage on the ground, flowers, leaves and branches, packed the trunk, and prepared to pack up the stall and go home.

Lu Zheng got out of the car while pinching his cigarette butt. As soon as he passed under the big sycamore tree, his mobile phone rang impatiently. He gave an impatient "tsk" and looked at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number.

Lu Zheng thought for a while before picking up the phone. The other party was a young man, and he said respectfully, "Mr. Lu, I'm the secretary of District Chief Cai."

"Cai Shaoyuan?" Lu Zheng wondered, what mountain god did he offend today, and District Chief Cai came to the door himself, "What's the matter?"

"District Chief Cai invites you to gather at No. 16 Yazhi Road now."

No. 16 Yazhi Road is the address of Cai Yiran's private club. Lu Zheng naturally understood it when he heard it, but he didn't know why the mayor of Cai was so interested in inviting Lu Zheng to have a small gathering in the middle of the night.

Lu Zheng was absolutely unwilling, and howled in his heart, if I don't go, I will escort the beauty home.But reason suddenly prevailed, thinking that Cai Shaoyuan looking for him at this time might have something to do with Yunyun's affairs, and this grandfather still has to serve him.

He glanced at Gu Yuxie's direction, he was already packed up and ready to drive away, he had a choice between the two, and Mr. Lu still said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Got it, I'll be right there."

The yellow Countryman and the khaki-colored minivan left Dawutong Square in two different directions at the same time.

Halfway through the drive, Lu Zheng took a photo of himself and sent it to Gu Yuxie. He thought that when Gu Yuxie returned to Yunyun, he would see the photo and send him a message. He would know that Gu Yuxie had arrived home safely. While waiting for the red light on the way, he glanced at his phone and immediately replied to him.

Offensive weapon holder: [? 】

Counting the time, Lu Zheng knew that he hadn't arrived home yet, and the plan failed, so he had no choice but to pretend to be stupid: [It's nothing, I'm just afraid that you'd forget what I look like. 】

Offensive weapon holder: [Don't worry too much, I will remember you even if you turn into ashes. 】

Lu Zheng laughed in the car, picked up the phone and dialed; "Why are you still looking at your phone while driving?"

Gu Yuxie turned on the speakerphone and said, "How do you know I'm driving?"

Lu Zheng: "I went to your market today."

"Oh..." Gu Yuxie suddenly realized, "So those two glasses of drinks belonged to you?"

Lu Zheng smiled triumphantly, but didn't speak, Gu Yuxie whispered: "That's right, who else could it be if it wasn't you."

"What's the matter, it's me and you are disappointed?"

"Not at all..."

The two people's car was very quiet, with the charming headlights and the night passing by the window, they were quiet with each other on both ends of the phone, but they didn't feel awkward, as if they were driving home with each other.

After driving for almost 10 minutes, Lu Zheng heard the sound of Gu Yuxie turning on the turn signal, and asked, "Are you there?"

Gu Yuxie was surprised: "How do you know?"

Lu Zheng: "Go straight from the main road after the market. You don't need to turn. You can drive all the way to the village road in front of Yunyun. When you turn on the light, it's time to turn into the small road in the garden."

Gu Yuxie smiled: "Can't I change lanes?"

Lu Zheng: "You didn't like to change lanes last time you drove."

"I did that time because... because..." Gu Yuxie suddenly realized that Lu Zheng was digging a hole in a hurry. He was waiting here, and his face turned red with anger.

Lu Zheng seemed to be pretending to be clairvoyant, seeing Gu Yuxie's embarrassment, but he didn't intend to let him go at all, and asked: "What was the reason last time? Was it because you wanted to stay with me in the car for a while so you Why don't you pass the time by not overtaking?"

"Go away, you're just talking nonsense, I'm really here." Gu Yuxie turned into the garden gate and parked the car.

It was a bright and bright summer night with dazzling stars. Gu Yuxie got out of the car with the phone in his hand, feeling unspeakably good. I can’t say it.” He didn’t know how to express it, so what he expressed was still the sound of getting off the car on the phone, followed by blank silence.

Lu Zhengdao: "Okay, I'm relieved when I know you're home, go to bed early."

"Well, then you too, go to bed early."

Lu Zheng nodded: "Bye."

"Hey wait," Gu Yuxie called to stop him, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, are you coming back?"

Gu Yuxie used "come back". With just this one word, Lu Zheng was able to fully understand his mood at the moment, and he said happily, "Come on, you miss me, my brother, and me."

"Nonsense! See you tomorrow."

After speaking, Gu Yuxie hung up the phone.

Lu Zheng also happened to be driving on Yazhi Road, and after hanging up the phone, he recalled Gu Yuxie's "nonsense"—what did he say wrong...

After thinking about it, the screen of the phone went black, and Lu Zheng suddenly saw the corners of his mouth reflected on the screen turn up involuntarily. The gate at Road 16.

Nonsense, who said that only Chunlai misses him!
