Rebirth with Love

When Luo Rui came back to his senses, he had already walked to the vicinity of Yuanjing New Village.Recently, after getting off work, occasionally he would get off the bus two stops earlier and walk back from here.Occasionally, you can meet that old lady Su who calls him Zhuang Fan.

It was raining and the sky was clear at the beginning of the day. The sky near seven o'clock was extremely clear and bright, and the air was humid and cool, still mixed with the aroma of roses.It's just today's aroma, with a sense of decadence.The roses on the courtyard wall of the community were blown to pieces by the morning wind and showers.The cleaners were sweeping away the stagnant water on the road, and by the way swept the fallen petals aside for accumulation.In addition to the cleaners, there are only some office workers who have just got off work.Luo Rui looked around, but was slightly disappointed that he didn't see the old lady.Although every time I see her, she talks about some inexplicable things.But he vaguely felt that those things really seemed to be related to him.

"Are you looking for Eminem?" A woman in her thirties stopped by the side of the road and looked at him kindly.Luo Rui let out an "ah" in surprise.The woman smiled: "Em is the old lady in Tang suit you often see. I saw you chatting with her. She has caught a cold these two days, so she didn't go out for a walk."

"Oh, are you okay?" Luo Rui asked casually.The old lady seems to be very old, and people who are a little older don't see trouble.

"It's nothing." The woman raised her chin and muttered in the building closest to them in the community: "Em lives on the second floor of the second unit of the first building, do you want to sit?"

Luo Rui bit her lip, not saying yes or no.

"Go and sit down, she will be happy." The woman invited enthusiastically.

Luo Rui nodded hesitantly, and followed the woman into Yuanjing New Village.

Old-fashioned unit building, no elevator, wide stairs with gentle steps.On the second floor, the woman knocked on the door of 203.The person who opened the door was another old lady with gray hair, wearing a short-sleeved floral shirt, about the same age as Mrs. Su.Seeing Luo Rui was also shocked: "Zhuang... Young Master..."

Luo Rui scratched the back of his head and glanced at the woman who brought her here.

"Grandma, do you recognize her too? He's here to see Eminem." The woman looked at the old lady with a smile.

Luo Rui cleared his throat: "Hi, my name is Luo Rui."

"Mm, oh..." The old lady realized that she had misunderstood the person, she hastily opened the door, and then turned around: "Miss, here is a guest."

"Please come in." Mrs. Su's voice came from inside the room.

Luo Rui unnaturally followed the young woman into the house.It's an ordinary two-bedroom, one-living room. The furniture is old-looking mahogany furniture, and it's cleaned very clean.Because of the second floor, the light is not very good, which makes the house look older.The young woman led Luo Rui into the study, where Mrs. Su was sitting at the desk reading a book.She was still wearing a good quality Tang suit, and she was still wearing black cloth shoes embroidered with flowers.

Seeing Luo Rui, the old lady was obviously a little surprised.She stood up, and Luo Rui quickly waved her hands: "Sit down, I heard that you are sick, so I'll... drop by to have a look..."

"I'm interested, thank you." Mrs. Su showed a faint smile.She is really an old lady with a good temperament. I heard that another person called her a young lady, so she probably came from a wealthy family in the old days.Luo Rui thought back, the Su family she had told him about, could she be the young lady of the Su family?

"Mr. Zhuang, please drink tea." Another old lady brought an exquisite blue and white porcelain bowl and put it on the coffee table, and she used to call Luo Rui Mr. Zhuang.Luo Rui's forehead was sweating: "My surname is Luo..."

"Uh, sorry, Luo, please drink tea, sir..."

"Thank you." Luo Rui sat on the sofa, unaccustomed to picking up a porcelain bowl, like a teacup in a costume drama, with a saucer dragging underneath.He lifted the porcelain cover and smelled a calm and peaceful fragrance.

"Did you just get off work?"

"Yes." Luo Rui took a sip of tea.I just feel that my mouth is full of fragrance, and there is an indescribable freedom.

"What kind of work do you do?"

"Uh, at the newspaper office."

"Oh, reporter? It's a decent job." Mrs. Su smiled appreciatively.

Luo Rui smiled dryly, took another sip of tea, and exhaled lightly.

"Is there something unsatisfactory?"

Saying that it is not satisfactory is also considered not satisfactory.Luo Rui frowned slightly, remembering being educated by Zhou Jiashu early this morning, and eating his sumptuous breakfast for nothing.When the manuscript, which was completed in one go, was sent to Qin Yanming for drafting, it had already been changed beyond recognition.He was originally full of ambition and felt that his manuscript was written with great literary talent.However, Zhou Jiashu crossed out all the parts that showed his literary talents and replaced them with some plain words, just like correcting a primary school student's composition.As a result, such a modification did not make the manuscript lose its color, but made it more like a realistic news article...

File defeated!

"What kind of person is Su Yizhi?" Luo Rui asked on a whim.

"Yizhi..." Mrs. Su paused, "I'm not a bad person, although I'm not a good person either. But that may be his last resort."

Zhou Jiashu?Not a bad guy, but not a good guy either.Luo Rui pursed his lips and thought, then suddenly asked: "Don't you think it's strange that men like men?"

As soon as the words came out, Luo Rui's face turned half red for no reason.

"It should be very strange." Mrs. Su smiled helplessly: "But what can those people who are in it do?"

Luo Rui nodded slightly.Old lady Su opened the drawer, took out an old yellow photo and handed it to him.There are three young people in the photo, the two men on the left and the right are clearly Zhou Jiashu and himself in the clothes of the Republic of China.It's just that Zhou Jiashu looked younger at that time.Luo Rui's eyes widened, and he looked at the girl in the middle. She looked about 20 years old, and the shadow of Mrs. Su could be vaguely seen in her eyebrows.

These turned out to be true, not a fabricated story.Luo Rui looked and looked in surprise.Looking at myself dressed in the Republic of China, I always feel a little weird.

"I've been looking for Yizhi..." Mrs. Su said quietly, "I don't know what happened to him. I just begged, and I didn't make a big mistake."
