shadow in daylight gl

The slight noise in the kitchen and the soft light of the morning sun weave into a peaceful morning.

Lu Linzhong changed his clothes and walked to the dining table, just as An Huaixu was serving breakfast, the salad bowl was filled with corn kernels, small tomatoes and lettuce leaves, poured a little salad juice, and the boiled black tea had cooled down to a temperature suitable for drinking , and boiled soft-boiled eggs.

An Huaixu handed the bamboo chopsticks to Lu Linzhong, "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Lu Linzhong looked at the home clothes on An Huaixu suspiciously, and asked, "Aren't you going to work?"

An Huaixu's smile condensed on the corner of his mouth, and he hesitated in reply: "Yes, come on."

"Is it ready? Let's go."

An Huaixu followed Lu Linzhong out the door.Near the work unit, Lu Linzhong pulled over and asked in a gentle voice, "Shall I pick you up from get off work in the afternoon?"

"My off-duty time is relatively fixed, I'll go to Zhitian to find you, in case you have other things."

"Alright."

An Huaixu stood on the side of the road and waved to Lu Linzhong. Lu Linzhong's car drifted away, and her mood became depressed.

Finding a job was not smooth. Although Jinhua Law School is ranked among the top five in the country, she has been in the public service system. Due to her family's relationship, she has never been able to get a job in the two years since she went to work, and she is seriously lacking in work experience. A lot of resumes were sent out, and I received several interview invitations, but they were all small law firms that were not well-known in Jincheng.

An Huaixu sighed, looking at the bustling Cross Street in Jincheng and the office workers hurrying along the road, his heart became more and more depressed.After wandering aimlessly outside for a long time, she finally stayed up until the afternoon, when she hailed a car and went downstairs to Zhitian Building.

The elevator door stopped and opened, and An Huai walked into Lu Linzhong's office sullenly, but it was not Lu Linzhong who was sitting on the white computer chair.

"..."

An Huaixu exited the door in embarrassment, looked up at the door plate, and it was indeed Lu Linzhong's office.

Lin Yucen can barely make sense in Zhitian, will he be in Lu Linzhong's office?

An Huaixu stood outside the door awkwardly.Feeling that Lin Yucen was staring at her for a long time, she finally said, "I'm here to find someone."

"Vice President Lu has gone out." Lin Yucen lowered his head and continued to check the report in his hand.

An Huaixu pressed the doorknob and sat on the sofa directly opposite Lin Yucen, "It's okay, I'll wait for her here."

Lin Yucen glanced at her, hesitated to speak.

The office was surprisingly quiet, except for the occasional sound of Lin Yucen clicking the mouse.

An Huaixu clicked all the apps on the phone that could be browsed, then locked the screen and opened it again, staring at the screensaver with the corners of his mouth rising little by little.

The screen saver of her mobile phone is a photo of Lu Linzhong.Lu Linzhong has bright facial features, 360 degrees without dead ends, but she doesn't like taking pictures, especially selfies.She secretly took this screen saver while Lu Linzhong was cooking in the kitchen.

Under the light of the summer night, Lu Linzhong wore a set of silk satin home clothes, her legs were slender and white, and her bones were well-proportioned. She propped up the kitchen counter with one hand, and brushed her long, messy curly hair with the other.

so gorgeous.

An Huaixu stared stupidly at the screen for a long time, his legs were numb and wanted to change his sitting position, but when he raised his head, he found Lin Yucen was looking at her. The smile she had on the corner of her mouth that she couldn't take back was especially weird.

Lin Yucen held his pen and lowered his head, and said, "She just left."

"Huh?" An Huaixu responded, "Oh." He took out his phone and sent Lu Linzhong a WeChat message: I'm in your office.

Lu Linzhong made a phone call directly, and the "hum" vibration echoed in the quiet office, causing a feeling of earth-shattering shock.

An Huaixu: "..."

"Xiao Xu, I'm sorry."

An Huaixu already knew what Lu Linzhong was going to say, curled his lips in response, "Huh?"

"I have a party tonight, so..."

"Well, I see."

The person on the other side of the phone suddenly said softly, "Baby, don't be angry."

An Huaixu was picking at the seams of his trousers boredly, when he heard this, he immediately froze and took a peek at Lin Yucen, then turned his back to her and whispered: "Hey, I didn't."

"Is Lin Yucen in the office?"

"She's at."

"You help me tell her that you can leave work after sending me the checked report. Don't wait for me in the office, eat outside and go home earlier."

An Huaixu hung up the phone, and Lin Yucen had already stood up and cleaned up his desk.

"Vice President Lu said that you can leave work after sending the checked report to her."

Lin Yucen walked past her to the door, "I heard it a long time ago."

"..." An Huaixu turned off the office lights in embarrassment, and followed him out.

"An, Huai, Xu, let's have a meal together." Lin Yucen said word by word.

The stiff voice and tone reached An Huaixu's ears, and she broke into a cold sweat when she heard it, and she complained in her heart: Lin Yucen looks like a second child.

"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

An Huaixu regained his senses and nodded, "Okay."

An Huaixu walked in front, raised his hand and pressed the elevator button, and said solemnly: "It stands to reason that you should call me sister.

"

Lin Yucen was silent.

While waiting for the elevator, An Huaixu carefully looked at Lin Yucen from the mirror door.Wearing a black peaked cap on his head, he is tall and thin, his skin is very white, and there is a coldness between his brows.It's not Xu Zhongxuan's cold and noble face, but the indifference that makes people feel inaccessible.

In just one or two minutes, Lin Yucen habitually frowned several times, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and he looked calm and steady. He obviously only looked about 2 years old.

——The younger sister was strictly raised by her father since she was a child, so she is also very independent.

An Huaixu recalled Lin Yusi's words, and felt speechless for a while, young people like to think of themselves as little adults, young and mature, without any vigor.

The two walked into the elevator in silence. An Huaixu pressed the button for the first floor, and retreated to the corner, "What do you want to eat? I'll take a taxi."

Lin Yucen canceled the button on the first floor and pressed B1.

"I'm driving."

"..."

The car drove all the way from the parking lot into the downtown area of ​​the Eastern District. There were stretches of food stalls and barbecue stalls lined up on the side of the road, and further ahead was the Jincheng Ancient City Wall Scenic Area.

An Huaixu looked away in surprise, "What did you just say to eat?"

"barbecue."

"???"

An Huaixu stretched out his hand to rake his hair in a daze. Lin Yucen is also the second generation of a rich family after all, so what's the matter with asking her to eat barbecue?

An Huaixu turned his face to the side, and looked up at her slightly, "Is the internship salary that Zhitian gave you a little low? How about I say hello for you, you young people eat too much barbecue, which will affect your growth."

"No thanks."

An Huaixu rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

Lin Yucen took An Huaixu into a small shop at random, and sat down in a corner seat by the window.Although the store is not spacious, the environment is clean.

An Huaixu looked left and right, leaned on the pony pouch opposite Lin Yucen, raised his chin at the menu on the wall, and asked, "Have you eaten here?"

"No."

"???"

"There are few people here." Lin Yucen explained lightly.

"Okay." An Huaixu stretched out her hand to rest her forehead, thinking, this meal will be regarded as an apology to the Lin family.

The shop owner was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw them coming in, he casually pointed to the menu posted on the wall.

"An Huai Xu."

An Huaixu was taken aback suddenly, and said nicely, "Sister, can you not call me by my first name?"

"You order." Lin Yucen sat upright, if he ignored the plastic four-corner stool she was sitting on, it looked like he was in a meeting.

"Then I'll order whatever I want."

An Huai made a gesture to the boss: "Boss, according to the first column on the menu, there are 5 skewers of each kind. How about you?"

Lin Yucen: "Same."

An Huaixu: "Why order the same one? We can try different ones instead."

Lin Yucen: "OK."

An Huaixu: "..."

Lin Yucen: "The second column, 5 strings of each type."

An Huaixu: "..."

The shop soon became smoky, and neither of them spoke, only the sound of the boss flipping the skewers mixed with the soft sound of oil stars splashing on the charcoal fire.

Cumin, chili, chives, tempting smells rush into people's nostrils, the grilled meat and vegetable dishes are served on the table in two stainless steel square plates, and the thinly sliced ​​and evenly skewered meat pieces are glowing The oily shine gradually aroused An Huaixu's appetite.

Lin Yucen: "Let's be friends, shall we?"

"???" An Huaixu scratched his head speechlessly. In what age, this Miss Lin is still using this kind of soil to make the opening remarks of the explosion.

"What's the matter with you eating with me?" An Huaixu paused, "Because of your brother?"

"Your brother is a very good person, but he is not suitable for me. He and I are forced to arrange by the family, if we really get married." An Huaixu said: "No, there is no if."

Lin Yucen picked up a skewer of barbecued meat and bit it down. He ate in a leisurely and delicate manner. When An Huaixu was talking, he would respond to An Huaixu with his eyes from time to time.

An Huaixu picked up a bunch of chili pepper tripe, took a bite, and said, "It's okay if you don't understand for now, you will understand later."

"It has nothing to do with my brother." Lin Yucen took two bites and stopped, "We've all eaten skewers together."

An Huaixu stared at Lin Yucen for a long time, but didn't understand.

"You want to play tricks, it's not the right way." An Huaixu spat out the bones in his mouth, pressed two red tickets to the bottom of the plate, turned around and walked out of the shop with his trouser pockets in his pocket.

Jincheng in early November has already begun to smell like winter, especially after the sun sets, the temperature drops sharply, and white air can be faintly exhaled.

The market is bustling and bustling. An Huaixu walked out along the narrow street, and his eyes lingered on the stalls. There are not only barbecues in the narrow alleys, but also sugar paintings, plum cakes, candied haws...

As she walked, she thought about when she would bring Lu Linzhong here for a walk, holding two handfuls of skewers, and they ate while walking.

An Huaixu walked forward for a while, then paused, "Why are you following me?"

"send you home."

"I'll take a taxi back by myself, so I don't bother you."

An Huaixu raised his hand towards Lin Yucen, quickly got into a taxi and reported the name of the community, and the people in the rearview mirror became smaller and smaller.

When An Huaixu returned home, it was still early, but Lu Linzhong had already returned from socializing.

After bathing, the elegant and melancholy scent of white musk concealed the faint scent of wine on Lu Linzhong's body. She sat under the lamp, with one leg stretched out and the other standing up with a book in her hand, with a peaceful look on her face.

"Going to eat barbecue?" Lu Linzhong frowned almost invisible.

"It smells so strong?" An Huaixu sniffed, "Guess who I went to dinner with, you would never have guessed."

"Huh?" Lu Linzhong put down the book, very interested.

"Lin Yucen!" An Huaixu slumped down on the sofa chair, "I went to Zhitian to find you in the afternoon, but she actually asked me to have dinner together."

"and then?"

"She actually took me to a barbecue. A serious and rich man, she actually took me to a barbecue! While eating, she even told me that she wanted to be friends with me. I wondered if she was out of her mind. "

Lu Linzhong's eyes were deep, and he repeated: "Being friends?"

An Huaixu nodded, "Aren't you inexplicable? Then I came back. Last time I guessed that she might be an intern at Zhitian, but I didn't expect her to be your—" Your intern secretary.

An Huaixu was suspicious: How could there be such a coincidence?There are so many big companies in Jincheng, but Lin Yucen is in Zhitian, and he also happens to be an intern under Lu Linzhong.

Lu Linzhong lowered his head calmly and opened the book he had just closed.If she explained why Lin Yucen became her intern secretary at this time, it would seem like she was trying to cover up, so it would be better to avoid the important and ignore it.

"Did she say anything else strange?"

"She's so boring, with a straight face and few words."

Lu Linzhong reached out to pick up the teacup on the table, "I don't know if it's interesting or boring, but it's true that she talks less and is serious. She's usually like this."

"What about you, did the evening's entertainment end so early?"

"Yeah." Lu Linzhong smiled, responded lightly, and rushed An Huaixu to the bathroom, "You smell like barbecue, go and wash off."

There was a vague shadow on the glass door of the bathroom, and what really took her away was the sound of water one after another.

In the afternoon, before Lu Linzhong got off work, Yi Ziyue called him away.

It was not late at night, and there were not many people in Yunding Garden, so she pushed open a door behind the bar with ease.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Boss Yi is really laid back."

Yi Ziyue held a measuring cup in his hand, and rolled her eyes: "Oh, rare visitor. I'm in a good mood today? Last time I looked for you, you were not so proud."

"Ahem." Lu Linzhong gave her a blank look, and closed the door casually, "Tell me, how did you investigate the matter in Nanping County?"

"I found something." Yi Ziyue put the measuring cup in his hand back on the table, and patted Lu Linzhong on the shoulder, "Of course, it's thanks to your Ms. Lu's hands and eyes, and she got the information to prove that A Jun and his mother were in the cement factory. I have lived here for more than twenty years."

"And then, did they speak?"

"Do you think you can get people to speak up by proving that they have lived there for more than [-] years?! If they are determined and unwilling to speak, there is nothing we can do about them!" Yi Ziyue changed the subject and said with a mean smile : "Fortunately, I dared to promise them that the demolition compensation will try to consider their reasonable demands."

"What did you promise?" Lu Linzhong had a bad feeling.

"You already know everything, use your well-connected interpersonal relationship to clear it up, and have a meal with the owner of the developer who bought the land?" Yi Zi said it was a matter of course.

Lu Linzhong pressed the corner of his forehead and said, "Okay, hurry up and get to the point."

"In fact, everyone who lived in that building used to know each other well. Lin Xie's family moved to the cement factory almost 25 years ago. There are three of them, him, his wife, and a three-year-old daughter."

"It really is a daughter."

Yi Ziyue continued, "They have lived in the cement factory for five years, and Lin Xie has been working on the construction site. His wife is not in good health, so he can only take care of the children at home."

"Ajun said that Lin Xie is a kind and capable person. They both carried cement for others in the cement factory, but Lin Xie knew a lot, worked very carefully, and was enthusiastic. They lived in the tube building for several years and The neighbors are doing well. In order to earn more money to subsidize the family, Lin Xie went to work on other construction sites every night, and then hurt his back."

"We saw the black marks on the wall at the door that day, which were burnt marks from 20 years ago. At that time, Lin Xie was sick in bed, and his wife was taking care of him at home. The doors and windows were squeezed and deformed and couldn't be opened, and the two of them just..." Yi Zi said no further.

Lu Linzhong frowned, unable to bear it.But put aside your emotions, calm down and think carefully: It is better to think about things that are directly or indirectly related to interests in a more complicated way. You might as well assume boldly, if the deaths of Lin Xie and his wife were not accidents...

Yi Ziyue glanced at Lu Linzhong, and said in a deep voice: "I have thought about the possibility you are considering, but this incident has caused a sensation in the small county. There are records in the local case files, and the cause of the fire is clearly written. Early winter, It was cold, an accident."

"Where's that girl? You haven't mentioned that girl just now. What's her name? Where is she now? Also, where did Lin Xie's family live before they moved to the cement factory, and where was their household registration? Have you found out all of this?"

Yi Ziyue took a deep look at Lu Linzhong: "You treat me as a god, you can know everything by pinching your fingers."

"..."

"I only asked about her nickname. After so many years, they can't remember it clearly. It seems to be Nannan?"

"Which two words? Nan in the south? Nan in Nanmu? Or something else?"

Yi Zi said, "I asked, but Ah Jun's mother is illiterate, and only knows that the child is called Nannan. Usually, if such a thing happens to the parents, the child will be handed over to relatives to raise. But the local department did not find out that Lin Xie and his wife’s relatives, the police station at the time sent the children around, but in the end they didn’t know where they were sent, most likely it was some kind of welfare institution.”

"It's strange, how can two people have no relatives. Unless—"

The two looked at each other, unless their identities had been manipulated, it wasn't difficult to do this kind of thing 20 years ago.

"Well, Ah Jun's mother said that Lin Xie's wife speaks softly and sweetly, not like a Jincheng accent, but more like a southerner."

The door of the bathroom was opened, and a slant of light shone, disrupting Lu Linzhong's thoughts.

An Huaixu walked to her side while wiping her hair, and the opened poetry collection was still on the original page.

"What were you thinking just now?"

Lu Linzhong pulled her little finger, apologetic: "Xiao Xu, I..."

"Ok?"

"I may be on a business trip this month." Lu Linzhong carefully observed An Huaixu's face.

"Well, let's go."

In recent years, the economic development of the southern delta along the Yangtze River has been getting better and better.After Xu Zhongxuan basically settled the board of directors, he planned to tilt the direction of development to the southeast and south China, and use Zhitian's subsidiary in Shanghai to develop film and television investment, and then gradually go out independently.As the main person in charge of Zhitian Films, Lu Linzhong will inevitably have to travel between the two places, and the time for business trips will only increase.What's more, she still wants to use this excuse to get closer to Lin's group and find the other party's flaws.

Lu Linzhong pursed his lips, not knowing how to continue.

An Huaixu suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Are you going to Shanghai?"

"how do you know?"

"Uh...she was really right." An Huaixu brushed his long hair in front of his shoulders.

"Who?"

"Yi Zi said."

"What did she say?" Lu Linzhong raised his eyebrows.

"A long time ago, she told me that you would go to Shanghai on a business trip."

Lu Linzhong kept an eye out, and asked inadvertently, "What else did she say?"

"Then I didn't say anything." An Huaixu rolled his eyes, and leaned against Lu Linzhong's shoulder with a faint smile.

Lu Linzhong leaned against her shoulder: "No, I still know about Yi Ziyue. If you didn't do her any favors, can she send you news?"

An Huai was at a loss for words, these two old foxes.

"Ok?"

"It should be the other way around, she gave me something, and then asked me which day and which flight you are going to Shanghai."

Lu Linzhong narrowed his eyes and thought for a while: "Did she give you a USB flash drive?"

"!!!"

Lu Linzhong smiled, but An Huaixu stretched out his hand to pinch Lu Linzhong's face, but Lu Linzhong quickly avoided it.

An Huaixu glanced at her: "Don't you have that too?! You're still licking your face and laughing at me."

"I don't need it, but you don't have experience, so you can learn more by watching it." Lu Linzhong said without blushing and heartbeat.

"What about my USB drive?" An Huaixu reached out to ask for it.

Lu Linzhong used his strength to pull An Huaixu into his arms, hugged him on his lap, and smiled lightly: "I'm giving it away."

"Send it to someone?! Who did you send it to?"

"Your hair boy, my boss."

An Huaixu lowered his eyes, and his slender eyelashes left a light shadow on his delicate face. Lu Linzhong reached out and pinched her face: "Unhappy?"

An Huaixu patted her hand off: "If I use your things to curry favor with my boss, would you be happy instead?"

Lu Linzhong held her hand instead, the joints were clear, fair and tender, she played with it carefully, and suddenly said seriously: "Then I will go to Mr. Xu to come back? It is said that our Xiaoxu has not learned the homework yet, and needs to study again. "

"No more." An Huaixu said, "How long are you going?"

Lu Linzhong took the initiative to wrap his arms around An Huaixu's neck, "Let's go for a few days."

"How many days?"

"About a week or so." Lu Linzhong kissed An Huaixu on the cheek, "Would you like to send Yi Ziyue a message to tell her? Otherwise, she would be lucky."

"Send it yourself."

"Okay~" Lu Linzhong picked up An Huaixu's phone, clicked on WeChat, found Yi Ziyue's avatar, entered the travel time in the dialog box, and pressed send, with a smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.

Lu Linzhong gently lifted An Huaixu's chin with his soft fingertips: "If you miss me, you can come and see me on weekends. Usually, I may not have time to chat with you on the phone."

"Oh." An Huaixu's tone was resentful, and he turned his face away and said, "I don't miss you."

Lu Linzhong spread his hands, "That's just right, I'm busy anyway and don't have time to think about you."

An Huaixu touched Lu Linzhong's forehead with his hand, and hugged her by the waist. Lu Linzhong's face changed slightly, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to hook An Huaixu's neck.

The cold wind outside the house was already blowing, and the breath of the two lingering under the quilt was scorching hot, bit by bit melting away the cool moonlight beside the bed.

The author has something to say: Guess who the girl Yi Ziyue is talking about is faster.
