swan boy

Chapter 42

Lu Xing just lost a licking dog and gained a friend, but the number of times this friend came to visit him... is really a bit positive.

In a flash, the weather entered midsummer. As soon as Lu Xing came home that day, he saw Cheng Lan waiting at the door of his house, and his roommate, Mr. Zhao Yiran, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

When Lu Xing handed over the tea, he pretended to be angry and said, "Cheng Lan! You're going too far. It's fine if you run to me every few days. Why did you even bring Yiran with you this time? Are you here by helicopter? Yes, isn't it tiring to go back and forth like this?"

Mr. Zhao was injured, and he snorted: "I finally sacrificed the vacation I got to travel across mountains and rivers to see you. Don't you feel moved? I took a few days off after a lot of trouble."

After graduating, Zhao Yiran joined a foreign company to work, arguing in the dormitory group every day that he was too tired to work overtime and wanted to resign, but in a blink of an eye, he even passed the internship period?It's not so easy to be a social animal.

After the meal, the three of them lay down on the chairs and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. They were so happy. Unfortunately, the blue sky soon turned dark, and patches of dark clouds overwhelmed the top. Lu Xing went to the yard to collect his clothes, complaining, "Summer is thunderstorms." More, it will be cloudy in a blink of an eye, and it is estimated that there will be another heavy rainstorm tonight."

He went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, Zhao Yiran followed in, covered the kitchen door slightly, patted Lu Xing's shoulder, and asked: "Why, are you satisfied with living in this small place? Are you comfortable? You have enjoyed the good life for a long time , do you really intend to stay here forever?"

Lu Xing rolled his eyes at him: "What else? Just like you, working overtime every day, clamoring to go home and eat the old man?"

Zhao Yiran smiled and said: "I was just joking, what can't I say when I'm working overtime? Haha, hey, I'm serious, you've been resting for so long, it's time to plan for the future, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about it for yourself." Your boyfriend should think about it, it's been almost half a year, if you continue to live apart in such a different place, the baby you have worked so hard to chase will run away."

Baby is baby, but it's a pity it's not his anymore.

Lu Xing put the dishes down heavily, and kicked him out of the kitchen: "Go out, don't do anything but make trouble."

"I know, I know, I won't talk about this matter, let's talk about gossip. Professor Gu, you know, right? The one from the law school, he seems to be here."

Lu Xing turned off the tap: "Who are you talking about?"

Zhao Yiran let out a sigh: "Associate Professor Gu Yuanzhi, the one who attended your birthday party, aren't you friends? Did he come back to see you? Why don't we go together?"

"Where did you see him?"

"On the plane, we arrived in Linshi on the same flight, and I didn't see him later, but I'm sure he's here, otherwise why did he travel so far? I guess I'll wait at your house for a while, and I'll be able to see him Professor Gu haha."

"Then you can't stay anymore." Lu Xing was in a state of confusion, and pushed him outside: "I have eaten and drunk tea, and it's getting dark, and you still want to stay with me? Go find me soon. Stay in a hotel."

Cheng Lan, who was pushed out together, complained: "I didn't say anything when I came back, why do you want to drive me away?"

"Okay, I only have one bed at home, and the extra quilt cover has just been washed and dried. Could it be that three people squeeze into one bed? You are tired enough from the long journey, so don't bother, find a better place to stay for one night , let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

After finally sending the two giant Buddhas away, Lu Xing closed the door and lay down on the imperial concubine chair. Thinking of Zhao Yiran's words, Gu Yuanzhi whom he hadn't thought of for a long time, and Song Ning who had just passed by a while ago, he suddenly felt a little confused At a loss.

The heart is restless, lying on the bed tossing and turning and can't fall asleep, the rain outside the window ticks along the eaves with an uninterrupted melody, Lu Xing is lying on the bed, leaning against the window, tossing and turning several times, and has not fallen asleep for more than half an hour, outside The rain seems to be getting heavier.

There seemed to be a strange noise mixed in with the sound of the rain, Lu Xing suddenly got up from the bed, went to the window and opened the curtains, his glasses are not high, and his daily life is completely fine, and he is still very happy at the moment The area closed its eyes, but it was dark outside, and there was nothing?

Must have misheard, he thought.

But after a while, the voice came out again. This time Lu Xing walked carefully to the window, opened the bed curtain a little and looked outside. There was an extra person outside the originally empty courtyard, standing straight Standing, holding a transparent umbrella, the back of Lu Xing will never be forgotten for the rest of his life.

It was Gu Yuanzhi.

Lu Xing closed the curtains abruptly, got on the bed in two or three steps, covered himself with a quilt, his heart was beating like thunder, and then slowly calmed down. He used an ancient method to force himself to fall asleep, and then gradually fell asleep. When he woke up, he was already It was broad daylight, and he looked on the window sill, but there was no one there.

Lu Xing thought about it, and found out the call from the police some time ago asking him to go to the police station to pick up his wallet, and compared the time, it was the 12th, and the wallet was found four or five days later, that is to say, the day the wallet was lost It was number seven, the day he saw Song Ning.

And today is also the [-]th, if he guessed correctly, Song Ning was with Gu Yuanzhi that day.

The next day Zhao Yiran and Cheng Lan came to him, and after finding an excuse to push Cheng Lan away, Lu Xing asked Zhao Yiran, "Yiran, have you been back to school since I left?"

"Please, brother, I'm so busy with work, how can I have time to go back, but it's not like I haven't gone back, and occasionally I will go back to send something to my parents."

"Then have you met Gu Yuanzhi?"

"Professor Gu?" Zhao Yiran thought for a while, "I've seen it once or twice, but I didn't dare to go up and say hello from a distance. What exactly do you want to ask?"

Lu Xing woke up startled, and patted his head: "It's okay, it's okay, too, how did you know?"

The most exasperating thing is, why does he unconsciously think about Gu Yuanzhi and Song Ning?

"What..." Zhao Yiran muttered, and Cheng Lan came back, holding a bag of cooked food, and said with a smile: "Come on, there is wine and food, how about we have a quick drink at noon today? Anyway, tomorrow morning Got to go."

After sending the two of them away, Lu Xing's life was back on track again, with enough daily work to support himself, bask in the sun and feed the cat, and that's how the days passed.

Soon it was the beginning of the month again, Lu Xing seized the time and went to the publishing house on the 6th. Zheng An was quite surprised to see him: "Huh? Why did you come to the publishing house to submit the manuscript in person today? It's not a normal email Well. What, the computer is broken?"

Lu Xing shook his head, negotiated with Zheng An, and picked up some work by the way. When he came out of the publishing house, Lu Xing didn't go back along the way he came, but went to the nearest hotel to get a room.

The stay lasted for two days. On the night of the 7th, Lu Xing got half of his manuscript in the hotel. He got tired of writing, so he got up to do some activities. By the way, he picked up his mobile phone and called his neighbor Mrs. Hu: "Hey, Mrs. Hu, I Can I ask you something?"

Ten minutes later, the phone rang. Lu Xing wanted to be more relaxed, but he answered the phone reflexively: "Hello."

"Hey, Xiaolu, let me look for you, there is no one at your door."

Lu Xing's face froze for a moment, his heart felt uncomfortable all of a sudden, and he said muffledly: "Oh yes, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, wait a minute, who are you? Where did the young man come from? You startled me—" Aunt Hu exclaimed from the other end of the phone that was supposed to hang up. A voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello."

Lu Xing was taken aback, hung up the phone with a guilty conscience, and suddenly heard Gu Yuanzhi's call and made him very nervous, as if the person who made the mistake was not him but himself, Lu Xing hung up the phone with a sound, and even Rolling onto the bed with the phone, it's too awkward.

The next day, Lu Xing procrastinated and procrastinated until it was time to check out before he packed his things and left the hotel. It was already afternoon when he returned home. He hid behind a big tree and waited and saw that there was no one around. Heaving a sigh of relief, he walked slowly home. Mrs. Hu came out from nowhere at this time, and patted Lu from the back to wake him up, startling him: "Teacher Gu?!"

Seeing that it was Mrs. Hu, she patted her chest again: "Sister-in-law Hu, it turned out to be you."

"What Teacher Gu?" Mrs. Hu looked at him with a smile: "You mean the man who was waiting outside your yard last night? He turned out to be a teacher, no wonder he looks so decent."

Lu Xing asked: "He left?"

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "I left early, I was leaving last night. After calling you, I stood here for more than an hour, and then I left."

"Really? Thank you Mrs. Hu."

Lu Xing entered the room, took out a pen and paper to draw a simple picture, and sorted out Gu Yuanzhi's timeline. This is the disadvantage of unresolved love. He wanted to stay away physically, but he couldn't help trembling in his heart.

He never denies his feelings for Gu Yuanzhi, let alone hope that these feelings will disappear in an instant, the only thing he can control is his legs, so as not to run in front of others and do something unpleasant, It hurt both peace and self-esteem.

Self-esteem is such a thing, once you taste it, you can't quit it.

But he has already run thousands of miles away, so what is the meaning of Gu Yuanzhi finding here several times?

Lu Xing is a 28-year-old adult. It's nonsense to explain what Gu Yuanzhi means. An adult squeezed out a day from his busy schedule and came to a place thousands of miles away from his own city to find him. He, especially the unusual Gu Yuanzhi, said he was passing by, or for other innocuous reasons, is it possible?

But precisely because the other party was Gu Yuanzhi, he didn't dare to be too sure about this conclusion.Stuck under such circumstances, he neither dared to belittle himself nor forget himself. Lu Xing spent half a year in the country and was lazy, so he didn't bother to think about it now. When Gu Yuanzhi came, he came, even if he Mu Mu, who is not enlightened, always has times when he can't hold back his words, so why is he in a hurry?

That's it, it seems very free and easy, but when it comes to the next 7th, Lu Xing will not be as leisurely as he thought.

He woke up in the early hours of the morning without any warning signs. Even a minute ago, he was still dreaming of beating Yu Ding violently. Lu Xing picked up his phone to check the time, and it was less than five o'clock.He tried to fall down and continue to sleep, but he was sober. After 5 minutes, he gave up this idea, Youyou got up and made himself a cup of coffee, while turning on the computer, he continued to flip through the unfinished manuscript.
