"Xiaolu, Xiaolu! Wake up."

Someone yelled in his ear, Lu Xing turned over in a daze, and fell back into a deep sleep. The man persisted and shook his body instead: "Xiao Lu, wake up, have you finished the manuscript? I have to take it today." Give it to me, the editor is urging you."

As soon as Lu Xing heard the word editor, Lu Xing opened his eyes, hurriedly touched the glasses strap, saw the person in front of him clearly, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, I'll definitely give it to you before night."

The person who came was Zheng An, a small assistant in charge of translation at the publishing house. Recently, he was in charge of urging Lu Xing's translations, and the publishing house planned to publish them as soon as possible.

Because it was a few days ahead of schedule, Lu Xing was very busy these days. He turned on the computer and started working. He was so busy until ten o'clock in the night. Finally, he sent the manuscript and sent Zheng An away. Lu Xing rubbed his sore back , lying on his chaise longue, tired of doubting life.

What about going back to your hometown for the elderly to cultivate your temperament?

Sure enough, where there is work, there is oppression.

He was tired from lying down, so he got up and ate a bowl of water noodles for himself. After eating, his stomach was bloated. He went for a few laps in the yard, and when he came back, he was tired again, curled up on that soft and huge chair, and fell asleep again. feel sleepy.

It has been almost three months since I came back in a blink of an eye. After resting at home for half a month, Lu Xing found a part-time job as a translator at a local publishing house by chance. The office is at home, with a computer and a pair of glasses. Occasionally, he gets an interpreter, he lives alone, and he doesn't have any big expenses, so his life is still passable.

Oh, by the way, he also has a cat.

It's a bit imprecise to say raising a cat. It should be said that I 'picked up' a cat. On a rainy night, this cat lord appeared in Lu Xing's big grass-covered yard, trembling, with a pitiful expression, and Lu Xing softened his heart for a while. , picked it up.

One person, one cat, living in the big country yard where I lived when I was young, warm in winter and cool in summer, three meals a day, not to mention great ambitions, it is a very comfortable life.

He has lived a cautious life for many years, and now he slows down and calms down, which has a special flavor.

The days are so unsalty, Lu Xing recently took over a job, and this day is the day when the manuscript needs to be handed in. His home editorial office is not far away, and it takes more than an hour to get there after two bus transfers.

He arrived, but before the editor arrived, he called Zheng An, who said that the editor had recently gone on a business trip to the north and would not be back until the day after tomorrow, "Xiao Lu, then you can put the manuscript in the editor's office, and wait for me." Come back and do it again."

Lu Xing complied, handed in the manuscript and had nothing to do, finally entered the city, and looked at the bustling crowd, but he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

He went to the bank as usual, and took out the living expenses for the next period of time. Looking at the 'astronomical figure' on the balance display, Lu Xing heaved a sigh of relief.

I went to the supermarket again and bought some daily necessities that I couldn't buy in the countryside. When I got on the bus, Lu Xing was dumbfounded when he saw so many passengers. It was really hard to squeeze such a big bag into this small car. is not easy.After finally getting out of the car, Lu Xing touched his pocket, it was even more difficult.

Fuck, the wallet was touched.

He touched the inside pocket of his clothes again. The bank card and ID card were still there. Fortunately, he was a little more discerning, but in the wallet was the warm living expenses that he had just withdrawn!Although there were not many, the poor and frightened Lu Xing still felt unbearable heartache. He decisively carried a lot of things, took a taxi, and rushed to the police station.

"Hello, I want to report the crime!"

The police officer in the office didn't raise his eyelids: "What's the matter?"

"Wallet was stolen on the bus."

"Tsk." The policeman raised his head and smiled: "What day is it today? Why are there so many wallets stolen? Well, you go over there and we'll come out and deal with it right away."

This service attitude is okay, Lu Xing nodded in satisfaction, and sat on the bench beside him. At this moment, a person came out from the inner room. Lu Xing saw it and lowered his head swishingly, but it was too late.

Cheng Lan had obviously seen him, so he ran up to him and said, "Am I not mistaken? Are you Teacher Lu? Are you really Teacher Lu?"

Being caught on the spot, it was really hard to admit it, he raised his head and smiled falsely: "Mr. Cheng, why are you back here?"

"Of course I came to see you!"

really....

"Why did Mr. Lu come to the police station? Did he commit any crime?"

can you think of me

"My wallet was stolen, on the bus."

"What a coincidence!" Cheng Lan's eyes widened excitedly: "Me too!"

"..." What's so exciting about this?

I can't find the wallet for the time being, and said it will take a while, and I will let you know when there is news. Lu Xing led the other victim back home, thinking that this trip to the city is not worth it, and he lost his money again. Picked up a little trouble back.

As he thought, as soon as Cheng Lan entered his yard, he started to bluff and talk non-stop, what:

"Wow! Teacher Lu is so happy to live here! Live in such a big yard!"

Is it unusual to have such a yard in the countryside?city ​​boy

“This house is so classic!”

Wouldn't it be better to just say that the house is very old?

"Teacher Lu! This is actually a four-bedroom apartment!"

...Come on, that's nothing to boast about.

After finally waiting for the people to calm down, Lu Xing made a cup of tea for him, brought it over, and asked by the way: "What is Teacher Cheng doing here?"

The other party's answer is very innocent: "Looking for you"

"Aren't there other things besides this?" Lu Xing asked, after all, from S city to here, more than half of China has been crossed, this distance is not short.

"No," Cheng Lan said seriously.

"That's good." Lu Xing's face turned cold, and he dropped the cup: "Then, Mr. Cheng, go back after drinking this cup of tea. My place is small and I can't receive guests."

Cheng Lan looked at him, thought for a while, and asked, "Mr. Lu, why did you leave in such a hurry? I heard that you left when I came back from a business trip. I was shocked, but it took me a lot of effort to find this place. of."

"Then go back the same way, Mr. Cheng." Lu Xing sighed: "You know, I'm very stubborn, the things I've decided won't change, don't waste any more time."

"Oh," the other party responded obediently, and then said, "Where is that teacher Lu who you like very much?"

Lu Xing suddenly looked at him, and Gu Yuanzhi's face almost appeared in his mind. He hurriedly shook his head to get rid of the memory, and his face turned cold again: "Anyway, leave quickly after drinking tea, I will return later something."

Cheng Lan looked at him pitifully.

After sending Cheng Lan away, Lu Xing lay on his imperial concubine chair, shaking and shaking, sighing again, what's all this?

Because he lost his living expenses and there was no ATM of a big bank in the countryside, Lu Xing went back to the city the next day, went straight to the bank, took the money, got into the car and planned to go home.

He chose the window seat in the last row, looking at the passing vehicles and the past scenery.Because of the traffic lights, the car stopped for a while, Lu Xing looked out the window boredly, he yawned, his gaze fell to a certain place, he opened his mouth wide, and quickly looked away.

Is he wrong?How did you see him in this place?

The car drove again, Lu Xing couldn't hold back, and looked back again, the place just now was empty, and Song Ning was there.

But why is Song Ning here?That....

Hey, stop!Lu Xing looked at his head and hated that iron could not be made of steel, and quickly adjusted his breathing to calm down.

But the word emotion, how can it be so easy to control?

He returned home with mixed emotions.

But Cheng Lan appeared again, holding something in his hand, waiting at the door of his house.Lu Xing really didn't have the heart to deal with him right now, so he walked in, and met Cheng Lan's delighted eyes, Lu Xing's tone could be called cold: "Just wait here first. "

After finishing speaking, he closed the fence and entered the house. Cheng Lan called out softly: "Teacher Lu..."

The door was closed, and he just stood outside, waiting with his things in his hands. Lu Xing had no time to talk to him. It is the best choice to be cold to Cheng Lan now. His life is messed up enough. I want to stay at home peacefully for a while, and I really don't want to get involved in the many affairs of S city anymore.

He thought Cheng Lan would leave after waiting for a while, but he didn't care. He thought of Song Ning who he saw today. It's already evening, the weather is not so good today, you can't see the sunset through the window, but instead there are dark clouds rolling over.

It must be raining, Lu Xing thought.

He gave himself a bowl of noodles to satisfy his hunger, and looked at the time to clean up the house again. It was already eight or nine o'clock after all this was done, and the sky had already started to rain lightly, and there were still more and more rainstorms. Lu Xing remembered the clothes that were still drying in the yard, so he casually found an umbrella and rushed out, collecting all the clothes.

Seeing Cheng Lan who was drenched in the rain at a glance, Lu Xing was shocked and ran over: "Mr. Cheng! Why are you still here? Didn't you see it was raining?"

Cheng Lan must be a fool, and he didn't know where to hide from the rain, so he just stood there, holding the things in his hands carefully, and waited like this for a whole day, no matter how hard-hearted Lu Xing was, he couldn't bear it now He pulled the fence aside, and said helplessly, "Come in and have a cup of hot tea."

But Cheng Lan waved his hand: "No need, I'm just here to give you something, I'll leave right away."

It was a big bag of things that he had been carrying in his hand. Lu Xing took it, looked at the words on the outer package, and found that there was a big bag of food and various snacks inside.

"what is this?"

Cheng Lan sneezed from the cold, shivered a bit, and said, "Birthday gift, Mr. Lu, you are not righteous, and you promised to give you a gift when I come back from a business trip. Easy to find."

Lu Xing just remembered that when Cheng Lan asked him what birthday gift he wanted, he was very annoyed, so he casually searched the Internet to check the temporary souvenirs and sent them over, but he didn't expect Cheng Lan to actually buy them, and he still chased them here , just to give him a gift?

Lu Xing didn't feel moved, but felt his nose sour and angry: "Do you think this is touching? Cheng Lan?"

Cheng Lan stared at him blankly: "Teacher Lu?"

"I said I don't like you and don't like you, can't you hear? Do you have to say it so directly before you give up? Oh, no, licking the dog, that's it, Zhao Yiran said you are mine Dog licking, don't you think? It's not a very good word, but why do you have to be so... so miserable?

If you don't like it, just give up, is it so difficult?Don't you feel pitiful looking at your infatuated look?What's the point of stalking, if the other person likes you a little bit... even just a little bit, how can you make you do so much? "

Lu Xing yelled loudly in the rain, but his voice was drowned out by the ticking rain, Cheng Lan could hear it, and he could hear it himself, so who was he talking about?Is it for Cheng Lan, or for the self in the past ten years?

"Teacher Lu is so fierce." Cheng Lan lowered his head and smiled, "Isn't that what I like? I like it so much that I don't even want my self-esteem. What can I do? So Teacher Lu, would you like it? Try to accept me?"

"You...how can you not listen?"

"It's not that I don't listen." Cheng Lan said, "It's that I like it too much."

Yeah, just love it too much.

Lu Xing sighed, and said to him, "Wait for me, I'll find you an umbrella." He entered the house in a daze, and the kitten rubbed against his feet, very clingy and cute, not like tea leaves Egg, you can't be cold.

But why did he suddenly think of tea eggs again?

Lu Xing handed him the umbrella: "Okay, I promise you."

Cheng Lan suddenly looked up at him, stuttering in disbelief; "Really, really?"

Lu Xing smiled bleakly: "I was going to say this just now, to talk about a less passionate relationship, to be accompanied by someone around, to live an ordinary and simple life, but when I went back to the house, I remembered something , and felt it shouldn’t be done.”

"I don't mind..." Cheng Lan was rather eager: "I don't mind, as long as Teacher Lu..."

"It's because I can't pass my own level, Mr. Cheng." Lu Xing looked at him very seriously, "I can't do this, it's too selfish and cruel, and I can't accept anything With the saying that you will gradually have feelings, I know myself, and because of this, I can't promise you so selfishly to be a short-term emotional shelter. It's unfair to you, and I can't do it myself. Kind of thing. I think you understand what I mean. I have no strengths as a person. The only one is persistence. There are many shortcomings. The biggest one is persistence and stubbornness. So go back, Mr. Cheng, your life is still long, you will still like it A lot of people."

His words were so deadpan that there was almost no room for change. They nailed Cheng Lan's heart to such a degree that he couldn't move. He thought for a long, long time, and when he raised his head again, there was a hint of relief in his eyes:

"I see, it's so cold, Mr. Lu, can I go in and have a seat?"

Lu Xing thought he hadn't given up yet, so his tone was not friendly: "I said—"

Cheng Lan was very helpless, and smiled at him: "I know, I understand what you mean. Didn't Teacher Lu say it himself? Just drink a cup of hot tea and leave. Why, regret it? It's so cold..."

Lu Xing smiled, and helped someone hold an umbrella: "Okay, then I will reluctantly buy you a cup of tea."

The author has something to say: I have been in the comment area twice, and now I officially say it once, of course Song Ning did not succeed, how could it be possible to get so close to people casually with Yuanzhi's personality?

Gongshou Dujie, everyone please rest assured.
