all is meant to be

Due to urban construction, the orphanage had already moved to the suburbs, and Lingyang had to go to the opening party of the music festival in the evening, so the driver responsible for Lingyang's travel was waiting outside the hotel lobby early.

After getting into the car, Nie Kai had two dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he was still awake. Lingyang knew at a glance that this guy probably came back from a walk last night, and he didn't know where he went until he came back, and said: "I Seeing that you should go back and continue to sleep, you don't have to go with me."

Nie Kai thought that Lingyang was going to dismiss him, so he immediately cheered up and said: "That's not okay, I'm curious about your childhood memories, I have to follow, besides, didn't I agree to go with you last night."

The driver said that the journey would take about 2 hours, so Nie Kai was able to sleep in the car, and Lingyang's hidden anticipation and excitement made him look at the familiar and unfamiliar cities outside the car along the way.

Does Guobao still live in this city after being adopted?Can we still find news about Guobao in the orphanage?Does Guobao remember himself?

The area of ​​the orphanage after the relocation is several times that of the city, and there are many more teachers and children.

Lingyang's sudden visit was warmly welcomed by the children in the orphanage, because two good-looking big brothers brought delicious and fun things to see them!

Nie Kai watched Lingyang playing nursery rhymes surrounded by a group of children, and thought: Isn't this kind, I have to pretend to be an artist.

Soon it was time for lunch, the dean invited the two of them to have a light meal in the cafeteria with the children, and neither of them refused.

The little boy sitting next to Lingyang gave Lingyang a piece of the candy bar in his bowl and said, "Brother, the candy bar in our cafeteria is very delicious, try it."

Lingyang stared at the candy bar in the bowl for a while, picked it up and put it in his mouth, but he didn't taste the taste he remembered.

Talking with the dean just now, Lingyang expressed his intention to come, and also told the dean that he had stayed in the orphanage 20 years ago, and he wanted to inquire about a child named Guobao who was with him.

But the dean said that most of the teachers back then were retired or quit, and the old dean had retired for many years. She asked people to check the files and found no orphan named Guobao.

Looking at Lingyang's lost look, Nie Kai comforted him: "We will definitely meet again if we are destined."

After lunch, Ling Yang and Nie Kai said goodbye to the dean, teacher and the children. Before leaving, they ordered two pianos and said they would be sent to the orphanage later, just as a token of his love for the children.

When they got in the car and drove out of the orphanage, a teacher turned around and made a phone call.

Lingyang didn't recognize her, but she recognized Lingyang at a glance. She was the teacher who was in charge of Guobao's daily life and education back then.

Lingyang and Guobao were inseparable when they ate and lived together, which made her very impressed with this little boy who looked like a girl and always played with Guobao on the piano for a long time after music class. He was very talented in music .

And the teacher resigned on the third day after the phone call.There is no teacher in the orphanage who knows Guobao anymore.

It was still early after leaving the orphanage. The driver suggested that they could go to the wetland on the way, saying that the environment there was good and it was a 5A-level scenic spot.

When they arrived at the gate of the wetland, the driver gave him a rough idea of ​​how to go shopping, and then agreed to wait at the exit of the wetland at 5:[-] pm, so as not to delay the opening party of the music festival in the evening.

Natural wetlands in the city are still relatively rare, and the reed marsh is the most beautiful in this season. Once the wind blows the reed flowers, the white flowers that are as light as cotton wool will fly with the wind, like snow in the sky!It's so beautiful!

Ling Yang and Nie Kai swayed through the green reeds over half a person's height in a rowing boat, startling a few small water birds into the air!

When the boat docked, Lingyang and Nie Kai got ashore and walked towards Folk Street.Nie Kai was quite interested in the specialty shops along the street, and stopped to look around and take pictures.

Lingyang was absent-minded. He always felt that there should be no traces to be found. Even if the data may be missing after 20 years, it is impossible to have any information about Guobao, not to mention he remembered that Guobao had such a special treatment... ..

Then the only thing that can be explained is that someone erased the information about Guobao in the orphanage, so even if he went to the old director at that time, he would probably return in vain!

Unknowingly, he wandered to a stone bridge. On the small island connected to the stone bridge, there was a building in stark contrast to the surrounding natural scenery.Nie Kai patted Lingyang and said, "This building is quite special!"

Lingyang recovered from his thoughts and looked up. It was a three-story villa-style house, and the overall decoration was mainly in black and white. It was not like the antique red-painted wooden buildings on Folk Street just now. It was full of modernity. Simple and elegant.

They climbed over the small stone bridge and walked towards the three-story villa.

"Black and white space! Heh! The name is also very interesting. What kind of place is this?" Nie Kai opened the door curiously and Ling Yang walked in.

"Welcome! Gentlemen, what would you like to drink?" A young girl with a sweet smile at the bar asked.

Lingyang looked around and found that it was a lounge bar-like shop, and there were not many people in the shop.

Nie Kai leaned against the bar and asked, "Ms. Mo, the environment here is pretty good! What are the specialties in the store? Let me recommend them. We just got tired from shopping and wanted to sit down and have a rest."

Mo Xin was stunned for two or three seconds, and realized that the other party knew her last name only by looking at the badge. She felt a trace of frivolity in the other party's tone. Looking at the two tall and handsome men, she couldn't help but feel a little hot on her cheeks: "If you two If you want to drink tea, the green tea here is good, and there are many varieties. We also have specially prepared fruit tea here, and the taste is also very unique..."

"Two cups of Americano coffee is enough!" Ling Yang interrupted Mo Xin's introduction

Nie Kai looked at the embarrassed Mo Xin and said with a smile, "By the way, you have private rooms here. My friend is not used to having strangers around."

Mo Xin: "The second floor of our place is full of private rooms, some of which have balconies. You can sit on the balconies and watch the scenery while resting."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the bar and took the two handsome men up to the second floor.

There are some photo frames hanging on the corridor, all of which are black and white sketches.

Lingyang suddenly stopped in front of one of the works and stared at it raptly.

The painting shows two children sitting on the piano, the one with two small dimples on his face is looking at another child who is playing the piano.The child playing the piano is from the side, but it can be seen that the author has carefully grasped the details, drawing the end of the child's eyes deep and slightly lifted.

Seeing that Lingyang was very interested in these paintings, Mo Xin said: "This is the work of our boss. He likes to come here to sketch when he is free. He likes to draw these black and white sketches, which are simple but not fancy. , there is nothing that cannot be expressed in black and white. We have three floors here, and the top floor is the boss's private studio, where there are many works of the boss."

"What's your boss's name, how old is he, and what does he do?" Lingyang asked excitedly.

Aware of being a bit abrupt, Lingyang explained: "This painting reminds me of a friend of mine, we haven't seen each other for 20 years."

"That's right, oh, by the way, our boss happened to be sketching nearby today, you go to the box first, and I'll call him." Mo Xin told the waiter to lead Ling Yang and Nie Kai up to the second floor, and then went down by herself. Lou went to find someone outside the store.

As soon as Lingyang walked to the balcony of the box, he noticed a person drawing with a drawing board beside a reed sway from the balcony. His heartbeat began to speed up, and his bony hands were tightly grasping the balcony railing. The blood vessels appear prominent.

Could it be him?Lingyang kept repeating in his heart.

Nie Kai saw Lingyang's excited, tense and depressed emotions. He knew that Lingyang was actually very afraid of the disappointment after hope.Lingyang is a very emotional person, but he doesn't know how to express emotions other than playing the piano.

Mo Xin found Mu Ruiming who was sketching in front of the reeds behind the store, and called him, "Ruiming, there are customers who want to meet you, and they are very interested in your paintings!" Mu Ruiming turned his head and saw Mo Xin pointing his finger Looking at the balcony on the second floor behind him, there stood a person who was also looking at him.
