Chapter 81 Extra episode two

For two years, Lu Licheng had no news of Su Man. China is too big. If a person wants to disappear, it is like a drop of water melting into the sea without leaving any trace. He has lost contact with Song Xiang, and only occasionally hears from his overseas colleagues which client he has accepted. But Xu Lianshuang still has contact with him.She wrote to him, and he replied immediately, hoping to get some news about Su Man during the greetings. Xu Lianshuang's letters come from all over the world, and the people in the photos are constantly changing, but one thing is always the same—— Su Man is living a peaceful life now. She is coming out of the grief of losing her parents. When she is strong enough, she will return to Beijing, because there is her and her parents' home there.But right now, I think she's not ready yet.So sorry, I can't give you her contact information.

Even if Xu Lianshuang couldn't give him what he wanted, he still kept in touch with her intermittently, just to give himself a feeling that there was still a relationship between Su Man and him. Two years ago, he added a property in Beijing.Two years later, it is still an empty room, waiting for the owner's return, lonely and hopeless. When he was drunk or tired, he came back here, sitting on the empty floor, smoking a cigarette in front of the ink landscape painting on the wall, or standing by the window, listening to the song "Wild Wind" on his mobile phone. Although the past is dusty, the old fireworks are like the neon lights of the night... Waiting for a turn of the mind, waiting for the Qing Dynasty to surge... If the mind does not fluctuate, but fate is difficult to understand, it is useless to think about it.If the tide of love is surging, who can calmly let go of the trace of love...

Many times, he regretted his unspoken love.Why not tell her?Tell her that's all it is!But at least I have no regrets.He suddenly began to understand her relentless pursuit of Song Xiang.Because I missed a chance, I cherish the second chance given by God even more.If he was allowed to find her, he would never think about it again, he would tell her so that she could not leave so carelessly, and let her know that there was someone waiting for her. Because he was in Paris for the Spring Festival this year and couldn't go home, so when he was free in autumn, he decided to go home to see his mother.

It was the busy season of farming, and his brothers and sisters-in-law were very busy. Taozi went to Xi'an to discuss business, Miaomiao was already in elementary school, and Jingjing was preparing for the junior high school entrance examination, so when he got home, only his mother was at home.After he took a shower, he sat under the cucumber stand in the yard, chatting with his mother and reading a book. In the evening, Jingjing and Miao Miao came back together.Seeing him, Miao Miao rushed over immediately, "Uncle, Uncle!" He held the seedlings in circles.Jingjing already had the reserve of a young girl, she stood aside and called politely: "Uncle."

The sister-in-law came back from the field, took out the watermelon that had been frozen in the stream, and cut it for the three of them.While eating watermelon, he inquired about Jingjing's studies, and was very happy for his eldest brother and sister-in-law when he heard that she had excellent grades in all subjects. The sister-in-law smiled while choosing dishes, "She represented the school in the English competition and won the first prize. No kid in those cities can compare to her." Jingjing said modestly: "It's all the teachers who teach well." Lu Licheng said in amazement: "There is such a good English teacher in the village? I originally wanted to discuss with my eldest brother at this meeting. Jingjing will go to the city to study after entering junior high school. I am afraid that her English cannot keep up. When the time comes to hire a tutor, I never thought that the quality of education in rural areas has improved so quickly.”

Miao Miao wanted to speak a few times, but her sister stared at her secretly, daring not to say anything. Lu Licheng subdued a bunch of human spirits, let alone two children?On the surface, he didn't pay attention, as if he was chatting with his sister-in-law, but in fact, he had a panoramic view of the abnormal reactions of the two children.He suddenly realized something, and asked his sister-in-law: "Has there been any foreign teachers in the elementary school here in the past two years?" The sister-in-law shook her head, "I don't know, Jingjing is very obedient. Your brother and I never have to worry about her studies, so we haven't paid much attention to school affairs."

Lu Licheng had no choice but to negotiate directly with Miao Miao, "Which teacher in the school do you like the most?" Miao Miao stared at Jingjing, not daring to speak. After thinking for a while, she whispered, "Chinese teacher." "What's the name of the Chinese teacher? Children are not allowed to tell lies." Miao Miao looked at Jingjing and blushed, "I checked with the teacher and promised her not to tell. My sister didn't allow me to tell. My sister said that if I told others, Teacher Su would leave." Jingjing glared at her, "Idiot, you already said it!"

Lu Licheng immediately stood up and asked his sister-in-law, "Where is the elementary school?" The sister-in-law said: "It seems to be similar to the place where you went to school when you were a child. It was demolished and rebuilt..." Before she finished speaking, Lu Licheng had already run out of the yard. He ran wildly all the way, crossing rivers, jumping over obstacles, and running from the fields.He was as happy as a child. In his life, he never felt that he was so close to happiness. Lu Licheng ran to the school gate in one breath, bent over, and panted violently. Several teachers saw that he did not look like a local, so they all stared at him.

A male teacher smiled and asked, "Are you here to see Teacher Su?" Panting for breath, he asked joyfully, "Where is she?" A female teacher pointed to a mountain not far away: "She went to the mountain with her friends." He said "thank you" happily, and immediately ran up the mountain. As soon as he approached the trail, he heard crisp laughter floating in the valley. "There are no people in the empty mountain, but people's voices can be heard." Her laughter is approaching, can people be far away?He stopped and waited with a smile on his face.

There are many mountains and mountains in the distance, and the sunset is dense.In the slanting sun, the mountains and mist are gradually rising, and the tired birds returning to their nests are returning together, and black shadows fly across the sky, like a natural ink landscape, which is too beautiful to behold. As soon as he thought of "the mountain air is beautiful at sunset, the birds return to each other", when he heard a man's voice laughing and said: "The scenery here is really good, the scenery in front of him is exactly like Tao Yuanming's "The mountain air is beautiful at sunset, the birds look at each other." And also'."

He was like a person who suddenly stepped on the ground, fell down at a loss, with a smile on his face, but his heart was already cracked. Su Man smiled and said, "Well! When you get back to school later, if you look in this direction, you will understand what it means to 'picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely'." Su Man and Song Xiang walked past him holding hands.He was standing beside the ginkgo tree, his body seemed to have been wooded. A golden ginkgo leaf fell, she reached out to catch it, raised the fan-shaped leaf, and looked sideways at the people around her, "Does it look good?" Her face was facing him, as long as she paid a little attention, she could actually find him who was not deliberately hidden, but there was only one other person in his eyes. They gradually went away, and he looked ahead, all the beauty and splendor in front of him faded away, and the scenery gradually became barren. The woods behind him were rustling, Xu Lianshuang stepped on the fallen leaves and walked to him, looking at him silently with her hands in her trouser pockets, with shock and pity in her eyes, as well as some other emotions. She kicked the fallen leaves on the ground and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?" His expression was normal, and he frowned and said, "Miss Xu, can you speak clearly?" Xu Lianshuang was stunned, and said, "I ask how you plan to entertain us?" Lu Licheng walked down the mountain, and said flatly: "Miss Xu is here, of course she will be a state guest." Xu Lianshuang caught up with him and went down the mountain side by side with him. Xu Lianshuang was worried, and said with a smile: "Song Xiang came here specially to find Su Man. The two of them have let go of their feelings. It is estimated that the wedding is not far away. Hurry up and think of gifts! Don't blame me for not being friends enough. I didn't notify you in advance." you." Lu Licheng turned his head to look at her, the sharpness in his eyes made Xu Lianshuang unable to smile anymore.But he smiled lightly, "I have an average relationship with both of them, as long as the gift is expensive enough, you don't need to think too much about it, but you should think about it." Xu Lianshuang hurriedly said: "I will think about it carefully." In front of the elementary school at the foot of the mountain, the four met, and the old friends reunited, laughing and laughing endlessly. Lu Licheng took the initiative to ask about their wedding date, Song Xiang stared at him, and said with a smile: "The sooner the better, lest you have long nights and dreams, and troubles arise!" Lu Licheng smiled and said, "Congratulations, both of you!" Su Man's face was flushed, her face was bent over Malatang's shoulder, but her feet were secretly stomping on Song Xiang. Seeing Lu Licheng's smile, Xu Lianshuang was completely relieved. At night, Lu Licheng stood under the cucumber stand and called Helen: "I want to trouble your sister with one more thing." Helen smiled, "You have helped them so much, my sister and brother-in-law wish you could trouble them every day." "Do you remember the house she helped me buy two years ago?" "Remember!" Helen thought to herself, not only did she remember, but she also knew who the original owner of that house was. "I want to ask her to contact the original agent, find out the contact information of the person who fought with me for the house back then, buy the house to her, and add 200,000 to the price I bought, oh, and 30,000 for the agent plus." Helen took a deep breath, because someone robbed it back then, and both parties refused to let it go, the price has been driven up very high.In order to get the house, Lu Licheng secretly gave the agent a bribe of 30,000 yuan.Now that Beijing's housing market is in a downturn, and many areas are falling, he actually wants to add another 230,000? "It's so expensive, I'm afraid it's hard to sell." "Just ask your sister to find someone, and that person will definitely buy it." Helen stopped talking, "Okay, I will ask my sister to find someone tomorrow." Sure enough, as Lu Licheng expected, he found the buyer through an intermediary. When the buyer heard that it was the house, he was immediately very interested.Although Lu Licheng's asking price was crazy, the other party was even crazier. They didn't even counter the price and made the deal directly.Not only that, when the house was sold, the other party also specifically asked the intermediary to tell the house owner, thank him.The intermediary was dumbfounded, this was the first time he had seen such a crazy and bizarre transaction. "Thank you" was passed from the agency to Helen's sister, Helen's sister passed it to Helen, and finally Helen told Lu Licheng. Lu Licheng was smoking a cigarette and didn't speak, the smoke was lingering around him, his expression couldn't be discerned. Behind him, under the big glass window, the lights are brilliant, and it is a world of mortals ten feet away, thousands of miles of prosperity, but he is like living alone in a heavenly palace, with a desolate body and shabby shoulders. This is probably the height of the cold!She watched him step by step from an ordinary employee to today's head of the company, watched him have fewer and fewer friends, watched him become more and more lonely, and more and more inconsistent. Helen sighed and exited his office with his head down. In the early hours of the morning, Helen sorted out the letters she received during the day, and when she saw Su Man's wedding invitation, she froze in shock and waited for a while before she could read it carefully. The moment the word "Song Xiang" came into view, she understood who said "thank you" came from.These two masters fought invisibly, and they only suffered from the busyness of their group.Song Xiang refused to say thank you in person, obviously intending to pretend to be completely confused and let the woman in his arms be happy without any worries. She turned on the computer, went to a forum she frequented, and began to sort out a post she had posted in the past, in which she anonymously wrote a story about a secret love—— Helen recorded that in order to forget the woman, he sent her abroad.However, the new life he deliberately tried was unsuccessful in the end. Instead, he was in a dilemma. He didn't know how to say no to another woman. Fortunately, the other woman spoke first. Hearing that she didn't come to work, he had a temporary mid-term meeting in order to see her, but in fact he was just downstairs at her house, sitting in the car, watching another person take her to the district hospital. He half-intentionally and half-followingly asked her to go home with him, she agreed, but he got nervous and called me late at night, asking me what to pay attention to when traveling with a woman. In order to get close to her, he naively created opportunities for himself. He called me early in the morning on weekends and begged me to help him buy a first aid kit, and quickly put it in his house secretly, just to have some alone time. This post records his two years of searching and waiting. ... Because she was really moved by his persistence, she began to record, hoping that everyone would join her in praying for him to find the person he loves as soon as possible. The originally deserted and unpopular forum became lively because of her posts. Countless people cared about and blessed her posts. Together with everyone, she hoped that this secret love would have a happy ending. She even affirmed that there were so many blessings from so many people. , coupled with his unscrupulous way of doing things, he will definitely get happiness in the end.But there is always a gap between reality and ideal. She taps on the keyboard. "I think this thread has come to an end because it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. I didn't want to write it again, but you guys have been with me in this thread for a year and I think it's my duty to tell you the ending - he received that one today A wedding invitation for a woman, unfortunately, the groom is not him." "I have sent a text message to the moderator, this long post will be deleted. My friends will mind if I write these things secretly, I believe you can understand. Each of us has more or less, do not want to be known Emotional secrets. Some are beautiful, some are ugly. Some secrets may eventually be revealed, and some secrets will be taken to the grave by themselves." "Although after my deliberate processing, no one knows who I am, let alone who he is, but I still want to delete the post, respect his wishes, and make this relationship a secret buried forever by time." Helen closed the computer, picked up the photo sent in the wedding invitation, stared at Su Man and Song Xiang cuddling and smiled.What a lucky woman, she has no idea that she has missed someone who loves her so much; a woman who is not so unfortunate, will never know that there was someone who loved her so much in this world. Helen picked up the phone and made a call: "Elliott, I just saw Su Man's wedding invitation. Would you like to attend? Do you want me to prepare a gift?" There was silence on the phone, people who didn't know would think that he couldn't remember who Su Man was. Helen has no doubt that when people mention Su Man in front of him in the future, he will definitely play the role of a nobleman who forgets things. He said sorry: "The name sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it." A voice finally came from the phone, interrupting Helen's wild thoughts, "You can seal a suitable gift money, just don't be rude, I don't have time to attend the wedding banquet." "OK." Helen put down the phone, took another look at the photo, threw the photo into the trash can, picked up the laptop and left. At two o'clock in the morning, Lu Licheng finished the conference call with the directors in New York. With a thin coat on his left arm, a briefcase in his right hand, and a half-untied tie, he walked out of the office with a tired face. He had already passed Helen's desk, and suddenly turned back, looking for something on her desk.He flipped through all the documents, impatiently, suddenly saw the photos and wedding invitations in the trash can, he picked them up, stared at the smiling face in the photos, couldn't help touching her face lightly with his fingertips, his mouth full of Bitter taste, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The relationship between her and him is so ordinary, there is not even a picture of her, and it is estimated that there will be very few opportunities to meet her in the future. He tore off half of Song Xiang, leaving only her half, with the back facing out, and put it in the wallet. Remembering that he was going to fly to London tomorrow afternoon and he hadn't packed his luggage, he hurried out of the office.As he turned off the power with a bang at the door, his figure disappeared, and the bright room was instantly extinguished, falling into darkness.
