you are a star

After Li Dongbai hung up the phone, he glanced at the room, except for him and the dog still panting, there was no one there.

This is an old bungalow he bought in a quiet location amidst the noise.

In the past, he bought it because he thought it looked good, but he rarely stayed here after he bought it. The most recent time was during the Chinese New Year, when he brought Chu Mo here to sleep for a night.

That night was really crazy, he still remembered handcuffing Chu Mo to the bed, that night Chu Mo was really beautiful.

But he hadn't seen Chu Mo for nearly half a year.

He couldn't say why he brought the dog here tonight.

The part-time worker would clean the place every now and then. He was lying on the sofa when his phone rang suddenly. When he saw Ms. Bai who had made a note, he immediately felt a headache!

However, this was a call he had to answer, so he bit the bullet, swiped open the screen, and immediately put on a smiling face: "Mom."

"Don't give me a hippie smile!" Ms. Bai didn't give him a good face as soon as she opened her mouth.

Li Dongbai stroked Labrador's head, which felt very good. He asked patiently: "What's the matter? Menopause has begun?"

Ms. Bai: "...I have repeatedly reminded myself that you are my son, I don't care about you, don't talk nonsense, and have dinner together at night."

Li Dongbai frowned, "I'm in Yecheng."

Eating together, doesn't that mean eating with your blind date?He will never agree.

Ms. Bai sneered: "The old bungalow has not been lived in for so long, how is the air?"

Li Dongbai: "You sent someone to follow me?"

"Your mother, do I need to use this method? Put away your small thoughts, I didn't ask you to go on a blind date, and go to your uncle's house for dinner with me. Your uncle said that we will have a meal together during the festival."

"Which uncle?"

Speaking of which, Li Dongbai didn't have any uncles. His father was an only child, and there were only a few cousins, but Li Dongbai only thought of one person who could be called so affectionately by Ms. Bai.

Ms. Bai squeezed her eyebrows, "Li Ruo's father."

Li Dongbai froze for a moment, the expression on his face was no longer the hippie smile he used to be, but became dignified. He and Li Ruo's father had some unpleasant quarrels because of Li Ruo's matter.

For so many years, he seldom showed his face in front of that uncle.

"Mom, even if I..."

Ms. Bai interrupted him, "There is no need to refuse this matter. Your uncle is getting old and not in good health. Don't worry about the past. Now set off immediately, and I will set off too."

After Ms. Bai finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Li Dongbai sat on the sofa in silence for a while, he seemed to be thinking about a lot of things, but he seemed to be thinking about nothing.

After a while, he went downstairs with Labrador in his arms.

Put the dog in the back of the car, close the door, only to turn around and see a woman standing by the plane tree, watching him silently.

In the past few years, the smog in Yanjing City was relatively serious, and French sycamores, which are highly resistant to air pollution, were planted on both sides of the road.

Now it is full of foliage, street lights are drilled through the gaps in the leaves, and the ground is full of spots of light. The woman stands under the tree with gentle eyebrows and eyes.

She was wearing a long light blue dress, her long hair was pulled back into a low bun, she was gentle and artistic, her face with light makeup was not overly modified.

Li Dongbai didn't know how long he hadn't seen her, and even felt a little strange at this glance.

It was as if two strangers glanced at each other in the street, but the woman's eyes clearly revealed a warm smile.

"Dongbai."

Li Dongbai gradually came back to his senses, he clenched his fingers holding the car door handle tightly, his Adam's apple slid up and down, "Xiao Ruo."

A gust of wind blew over, bringing with it the hot air of summer nights, without the sweet taste of ice cream that year, the two of them looked at each other and smiled when they met secretly.

It's the reunion of old friends, not even a long time no see.

Li Ruo walked towards him, walked in front of him, she only reached his chin in high heels, she looked back at the old bungalow behind her.

Still nothing changed.

She explained: "I just came here to have a look. I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence."

Coincidentally, the two words are a little too much, which can only convey the deep meaning that cannot be expressed in words, Li Dongbai pretended not to hear it.

"When did you return to China?" Li Dongbai asked her.

"Just got off the plane." Li Ruo replied.

Li Dongbai nodded, deliberately not asking her why she came here to have a look.

Because back then, when he bought this place, he first thought it was beautiful, and secondly, he thought about living here with Li Ruo in the future.

But the development of the matter was completely unexpected to him at the beginning. After a few years, things have changed.

It was Li Ruo who asked him: "Why are you here, Qixi Festival, don't you date your girlfriend?"

Li Dongbai smiled bitterly, and pointed to the Labrador in the car lying on the back of the chair with a dog head watching gossip, "I don't have any girlfriends, single dogs go blind with a single dog visit."

Li Ruo covered her mouth and smiled, her eyebrows brightened, "You are still as humorous as before."

Li Dongbai pressed the car key, the trunk door opened, and he said to Li Ruo: "I'm going to my uncle's house, I'll take you back."

Li Ruo was generous and did not refuse, "Then I will trouble you."

"Where?" Li Dongbai walked over to pick up the suitcase in her hand, walked to the back of the car, and put the suitcase in the trunk.

He walked to the front of the car and saw Li Ruo standing in the distance, a little cramped, as if hesitating where to sit.

Meeting Li Dongbai's eyes, she smiled awkwardly, then walked over, and was about to open the back door.

"Take the co-pilot. If you are afraid of dogs, don't force yourself."

Li Ruo's hand holding the doorknob tightened for a moment, then slowly let go, nodded, opened the co-pilot's door, and sat in.

Li Dongbai sat in, glanced at her, and started the car, "Do you have any plans after returning to China?"

Li Ruo sighed, and her forced smile couldn't hide her loneliness and failure, "After the divorce, the property has been dealt with, and I haven't thought about what to do for the time being, but divorced women are very strong."

Li Dongbai smiled, "You have always been very strong, and don't keep saying that you are a divorced woman. Now there are not many high-quality women, and there are more single men."

"I haven't asked you yet, why haven't you talked about your girlfriend yet? Isn't your mother... aunt urging you?" Li Ruo turned to look at him.

Li Dongbai looked ahead, "Hurry up, how could you not hurry up, the woman in the fortress gave me two times in three days, I was having a headache, so I hid in this place, I didn't expect to be called to eat temporarily."

"Auntie is also doing it for your own good. After all, you are old and young. I heard that Rong Chi gave birth to a son in country M. I also saw the news about the third brother and Qiao Nan on Weibo just now. The three of you are the only one who is short of you." gone."

Li Dongbai said freely and freely: "Let's go with fate."
