The next day was the weekend, Xu Jiu got up early and wanted to go to the nursing home to help Xu Dongmei sort out some spring clothes and bedding, otherwise Xu Dongmei would have done these things by herself if she went late.He gently hugged Lu Zhiyao who was pulling on his body, put him in a comfortable position, kissed his hair lightly, got up and went out the door.

Hearing the sound of the porch door, Lu Zhiyao opened his eyes.Your sister Cao was let in for a long time, and she was rolling on the ground next to the bed.Lu Zhiyao sat on the edge of the bed and pressed the center of his eyebrows. The weather outside the window was cloudy, and the gray sky filled the room with smoke gray. Lu Zhiyao felt the smell of staying on the bed for a long time, smoked a cigarette and sat there for a while, unwilling to give up leave.

In the dining room, Lu Zhiyao picked up the hollowed-out bamboo basket cover and prepared porridge and soy milk fritters for a long time. I tried to send a message to Jiu Jiu with my mobile phone, but I typed a lot of words but deleted them one by one.

The sky is getting more and more gloomy, the dark clouds are getting denser and denser, the room is already dark enough to turn on the lights, the whole city is dark before the storm, and everything is silent.

The phone rang suddenly, it was Qian Xiaoding's call.

"Mr. Lu, I have adjusted the monitoring of the people who entered and exited your office that day. After you left, no one else entered your office until you came back from the meeting."

"what do you mean……"

"Mr. Lu, do you need to think about whether you lost it somewhere else? The people in the company...may not be suspicious."

Lu Zhiyao suddenly turned his head and stared at the place where his briefcase was placed, and a terrible guess suddenly flashed in his mind.

No, it's impossible.

Qian Xiaoding continued: "Also, the overseas company has found some clues. That company was closed more than ten years ago, and one of the shareholders established a new company. It is still cooperating with Yuanhong."

Lu Zhiyao: "You send the name of the new company and the names of the shareholders to Zhile, and let her find a way to find out about overseas affairs."

Qian Xiaoding: "Uh...Sister Zhile, she seems to have gone to Dui Xu's mother's nursing home today, and she said she was going to deliver some things for you, Mr. Lu, don't you know?"

Lu Zhiyao's head seemed to explode in an instant, and a spring thunder came from the sky in an instant. The gray that covered the room shook heavily in Lu Zhiyao's eyes, and then shattered into smoke in the void. He put down his phone and looked at the dark clouds. Heavy, covering the low black eaves, the pressure made Lu Zhiyao feel a pain in his chest.

Sitting on the balcony of Xu Dongmei's room for a long time, smoking a cigarette, the sound of spring thunder rolling in from a distance and heading towards Chongxi Mountain. The whole night of wanton and obsessive obsession made him even more confused. He spread his hands and felt Holding a fire and a piece of ice, Lu Zhiyao's name was engraved on every inch. He clenched his fists tightly and sat there for a while, when he suddenly heard the sound of high-heeled shoes at the door.

When he turned his head, Lu Zhile was walking up to Xu Dongmei step by step.Xu Dongmei was sewing thread at the crack of the quilt cover, and just pulled up the end of the thread to bite off, suddenly a beautiful figure in front of her blocked her view, she lightly flicked off her reading glasses, looked at it for a while, and said involuntarily with her lips: "Zhi Le ,is it you?"

"Aunt Mei..." Lu Zhile's eyes were filled with crystal tears: "It's really you..."

Going back to the room in a daze for a long time, he dragged a chair expressionlessly: "Sister Zhile, sit down."

Lu Zhile's thoughts were still wandering between the four words "unbelievable", but his mouth had already found the memories belonging to the old man: "Chuan Ning, Aunt Mei, it's really you... Back then, I thought you and Uncle Zhou... All……"

"They're all dead, right? Hmph!" Xu Jiu sneered lightly, took out another cigarette, glanced at Xu Dongmei, and twirled it in his hand.

"What happened back then? Both Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou died, and you and Aunt Mei disappeared. You disappeared by Zhiyao's side for more than 20 years, but you have changed your name and surname, and Aunt Mei became you again. Mom! Can you tell me why, Zhou Chuanning!" Lu Zhile became more and more impatient.

Jiu Jiu squinted his eyes and lit a cigarette: "Zhi Le, to put it bluntly, Zhou Chuanning is dead, and now there is only a long time. As for why, you probably asked the wrong person. You should ask Cao Wanhong, or simply ask your father."

Lu Zhile bit her lip, her mouth was muffled and speechless, she looked at Xu Dongmei who was sitting by the bed, walked over and squatted down gently, holding Xu Dongmei with one hand: "Aunt Mei... Didn't Uncle Zhou commit suicide back then?" ? Why, why is it related to my father?"

Xu Dongmei was silent for a long time: "Zhile, what happened back then is no longer important." Her voice was low and hoarse, as if she was rubbing the tiny particles in the air, causing the slightest pain.

"No, it's important! At least for Zhiyao, this is very important! I don't care, I don't care, have you considered Zhiyao's feelings? Zhou Chuanning, can I ask you the purpose of getting close to Zhiyao? You Isn't your suspicion of Yuanhong the motive for you to approach him?" The more Lu Zhile spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became louder.

His face turned pale for a long time, but he still smiled, and took a puff of cigarette in silence with a smile on his face. There was a dull pain of depression and regret in his chest, and he felt that he had no way to defend himself.

At this moment, the sound of a lighter suddenly sounded at the door. At the moment when the three were silent, it seemed lonely and loud.

"despair!"

Lu Zhile's face suddenly changed color, and he rushed to the door.

Jiu Jiu gently closed his eyes, he knew that this moment had finally come.After a loud spring thunder, the heavy rain poured down with a hush. After a long time, he turned his face to look at the rain in a line outside the balcony. His eyes were blinded by the smoke. He seemed to hear Lu Zhiyao suffocating outside the door. The heavy breathing in the chest, one after another, was so subtle that it could not be easily attacked, but it submerged the whole body for a long time like a tsunami.

For a long time, I remembered that Lu Zhiyao was waiting for him at the door of the house that night. He was drenched in such a heavy rain for so long.Why was it raining so much when we were together until we were about to part.

Lu Zhiyao was leaning against the wall at the door, holding a cluster of jumping flames in his hands to light a cigarette, his face looked calm and depressed under the flames.

"Zhiyao, you... When did you come?" Lu Zhile could clearly hear his voice trembling.

Lu Zhiyao smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, puffed out a mouthful of cigarettes, and leaned his head against the white wall in the corridor: "Probably, I arrived when I heard the name Zhou Chuanning."

For a long time, he walked to the door with his head down, and patted Lu Zhile's shoulder: "Sister, you can go back first, okay?"

When Lu Zhile walked past Lu Zhiyao, Lu Zhiyao stared at the ceiling without moving his eyes, and Lu Zhile kept turning his head to look at the two people standing at the door, as if they were on the side of the dark corridor, settled Not bad old stuff.

Ten minutes later, Xu Dongmei anxiously turned her head to look at the two people on the balcony. The torrential rain was pouring down outside the balcony.

Leaning against the marble table of the balcony for a long time, the rainwater fell on the table and splashed on his coat, and the cuffs and chest were wet. The greenery in the city is in full bloom in early spring, but in his eyes he sees a blur of gray-white mist, which gathers and disperses in his eyes, as if there is always an incomprehensible and inexplicable truth in the clouds and mist. Can not understand.

Lu Zhiyao seemed to have his spine taken away this day. He had to rely on something to stand no matter where he went. He leaned against the door frame of the balcony door and asked in a hoarse voice: "I should call you for a long time, Zhou Chuanning, or, Brother Ning?" He suddenly smiled: "When I was young, I called you Brother Ning, right?"

After a long time, he took out another cigarette from his pocket and lit it. At this moment, his hands were too trembling to hold the lighter. He quietly turned his back and covered his hands with his broad back.

Lu Zhiyao: "You knew who I was from the very beginning, right? You knew that I approached you because of Shen Li's matter, so you told me the progress of the case and gave me opportunities to approach you bit by bit. Is it right for me to find out the truth about the cause of your father's death back then? Maybe you still want to know more Yuanhong's secrets, but I am indeed the nearest building, which can be reached with just a stretch of your hand."

"Zhiyao, I know it's superfluous to say anything now. I rejected you because I didn't want to get close to you for these reasons, but..."

"But you still can't help me pestering you again and again. Anyway, the opportunity to get close to Yuanhong came for nothing, so don't let it go." Lu Zhiyao said, his voice choked up.

After turning around for a long time, he saw that the corners of Lu Zhiyao's eyes were red, and his heart seemed to be crushed by Lu Zhiyao's hands.

"not like this……"

"You said you liked me when you were in Wushi University, and you lied to me, right?"

"Do not……"

not like this.But he was speechless for a long time, and suddenly he couldn't hear Lu Zhiyao's voice. In the distant sky, when he saw Lu Zhiyao for the first time and heard his name, his first reaction was It's the word "Yuanhong". When I saw him for a long time, I was really tempted, but what kind of mood and purpose did I have when I approached Lu Zhiyao, only he knew.For a long time, my heart has been wrinkled into a ball of numbness, what else can I justify.

Lu Zhiyao wiped away the tears that were about to fall with the back of his hand: "No? Then why did you take the approval form from my bag, the approval form with your father's signature? You have been by my side for so long, isn't it just to get Do you have any evidence from back then? Now that you have it, don’t you dare to confess to me?”

"What? What approval form?" After talking for a long time, he looked up at the room and his voice gradually weakened.

Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth: "I never thought that we would come to this point, without even hearing a word of the truth." He turned around in a hurry, tears fell from his eyes, and he didn't have time to wipe them away. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, a sore pain spread all over his body.

He smoked in silence for a long time, and there was a barely audible choking sound in his throat, Lu Zhiyao turned his back to him and did not turn around.

"Zhiyao, I love you, this is the truth."

Suddenly the corners of Lu Zhiyao's mouth twitched slightly. He remembered that when he shamelessly pursued him for a long time at first, he seemed to have said, Lu Zhiyao, I don't want to take this step with you.

Because this step is just the beginning, it will only lead to the current situation in the end, which has been expected for a long time.

Lu Zhiyao put his hands in his pockets, raised his head slightly, and still turned his back for a long time. He thought that for a long time, he would not be able to see himself crying like rain at this moment.

He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled in tears: "But I can't afford it now."

Lu Zhiyao walked out of the room with a forced gasp.In the heavy snow in front of his eyes, his face was still smiling at him for a long time, and this scene was suddenly like water vapor on the glass, being wiped away bit by bit with a hand, leaving only a blurry scene, without the white light, Only the heavy rain is still pouring.

Turning his head to look at Lu Zhiyao's back for a long time, he suddenly remembered that last year on the terrace of Nanke, he was only left with Lu Zhiyao's back in the sky full of fireworks.

It turned out that falling in love with someone started from looking at his back. At that time, Lu Zhiyao must have felt so uncomfortable. For a long time, he hated himself for understanding it too late.

The cigarette held in my hand for a long time has not been blown for a long time, and a long section has formed. After Lu Zhiyao left, it suddenly broke and fell on the table. Annihilated in an instant.

It turned out that all of these would eventually be reduced to ashes, and I swallowed the tears that kept falling from the corners of my eyes for a long time.

After Lu Zhiyao left, he kept hiding in Nanke and drank until the first spring rain in Wuzhou. He was already unconscious when Lu Zhile picked him up from the sofa in the private room.

Lu Zhile picked him up, let him lie on her lap, patted his back gently.The person in her arms was sleeping deeply, but Lu Zhile lowered her head, and suddenly felt twitching in her legs, Lu Zhiyao hugged her waist, tears flowed silently from her eyes, curled up, trembling all over.

"My eyes hurt." Lu Zhiyao said in a low voice.

Lu Zhile bent down and hugged him tightly: "Zhiyao, don't be like this...you...can you stop being so worthless!" As he spoke, he cried together.

Outside the box is Nankeyimeng's constant din every night, no matter how sad the plot is, it will be drowned out in the indulgence.

Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a while, the tears in his eyes were not wiped away: "Professor Zhile, I asked you why you failed the department in love with your ex-brother-in-law last time, can you answer now?"

Lu Zhile stroked Lu Zhiyao's soft hair on his leg, and the doorway of the box with people coming and going shuttled back and forth into the doorway of a university classroom in his memory. The clean boy in a white shirt showed a clean and sunny smile at Lu Zhile at the doorway, that belonged to The only clear white in this world is like the bright moonlight in a quiet night and the breeze rippling on the lake.Lu Zhile leaned on the back of the sofa and said softly, "Because the knight's home is far away, but the princess' home can only be in the palace."

After her ex-brother-in-law and Zhile divorced, she became a freelance photographer of her dreams and has been living without a fixed place.

Lu Zhiyao leaned on her lap and finally calmed down and fell asleep.Qian Xiaoding stood at the door and looked at them, biting his lip and holding back his tears.

After coming out of the nursing home that day, I sat for a long time by the moat where Lu Zhiyao had been waiting for him all night. Li waited until the sunrise and didn't speak or move all night.

When he came home after a day's work, the room was pitch dark. Lu Zhiyao hadn't had time to collect the bowl of breakfast before he left. He didn't touch it for a long time, so he sat back in the study directly. Even the corners of the place where ears were rubbed together day and night seemed to have Lu Zhiyao's aura, and he didn't have the courage to stay there for a moment.

In my ear is the sound of Lu Zhiyao chasing your sister Cao and running around the room to tease it, but at this moment your sister Cao is wandering around in the study, gnawing here and there, refusing to stop for a moment.

He didn't have the energy to deal with it for a long time, he leaned against the corner and sat on the ground, staring blankly at Lu Zhiyao's clothes all over the room, and suddenly understood the feeling of such despair that nothing came of it in the end.

Your sister Cao bit out a pile of exquisite project books sealed with plastic covers from Lu Zhiyao's file drawer, and held them in front of Jiu Jiu.After a long time of decadence, he reached out and took a push of documents, sorted them out and put them aside, then suddenly turned his head and found that the top one was the project letter that Lu Zhiyao had invested in Luocheng.

He reached out and flipped through it, and saw the name of the building - Jiujiyao.

……

"That project has my expectations for the future."

Oh, your sister Cao really has you, and you can even reveal the secret that Lu Zhiyao kept in his heart.

"I miss you."

"I know it's not convincing to say that I love someone for no reason. Can you give me a chance to prove that I'm not such a casual person."

……

"I want to be the one who looks at you, and the one who loves you, all by myself."

Lu Zhiyao's sworn words were still in his ears, but for a long time, he could only hold the voided plan to his chest, and their love might also have been voided.

His heart hurt so much, tears fell silently on the floor for a long time, all over the floor, he could only bury his head in his arms and knees, pretending that Lu Zhiyao was still at home.

Suddenly, the phone rang in a hurry. After a long time, he touched the phone everywhere, picked it up and looked: Qian Xiaoding!
