summer rose garden

Like a heart, put down his bowl and chopsticks, Mitsui's solemn expression revealed a resolute determination: "I decided to go out to work."

"Well, okay, but you still have injuries on your body, let's take it easy." Mu Mu didn't care, and while eating, his tone was the same as before, gentle and flat.

"No, Gong Yan, you didn't understand what I meant. I'm sorry, I may have to leave you for a while to find a job that can change our lives." Mitsui's dark eyes shone with firm light, as if he was declaring to Mu Mu Make your own decisions instead of asking for your loved one's opinion.

"I understand, okay, hehe, of course I support you if you want to work." After taking a bite of food, Mu Mu's voice did not change in any way.

Seeing that his lover didn't object, Mitsui didn't feel happy or disappointed.He just said softly, my dear, I'm sorry, I may be away for a long time.

"I know." Seeing that Mu Mu's expression and voice didn't change, Mitsui couldn't be sure that Mu Mu understood what he meant.Mitsui didn't know that Mu Mu was really supporting him until he saw Mu Mu smiling at him.

"When are you leaving? Let me pack your luggage for you."

"Well, okay, then tomorrow." After saying this, Mitsui was also shocked for a second by his sudden decision, but he did not regret it.

"Well, yes, Shou. After supper, let me pack your luggage for you."

"Ah."

Chapter 19

He didn't ask if he would wait for him, and he didn't ask when he would be back.Just at the moment when the sun rises, they say goodbye to each other.

There are no too many words, no tears and sadness, no hugs and lingering.

It was as if they had never left each other.Or, just leave for a little while.

I just remember staring at each other, the eyes with deep anticipation that cannot be concealed.

That's right, it was only for a short while, and three years passed quickly through his fingers without even noticing it.

In the spacious office, Mitsui saw the milky moonlight outside the window.Brewing a cup of strong tea for himself, the misty tenderness that enveloped him made Mitsui feel that although he was alone in his company at this time, he was not alone.

In the past three years, I have long been used to being with the shadow of the moon.

Watching the tea leaves tumbling in the boiling water, just like what happened yesterday, was brought up again.Although I can't remember all the details, I still have a deep memory.

Today is a big day for Mitsui.Because he has just signed the contract to merge with the rival company, and starting tomorrow, his career will no longer have any worries.Leaning on the comfortable sofa, leaving all the exhaustion to the back of the sofa, Mitsui fell into deep memories.

It is also a summer night now, and now it is the same as back then, with a quiet but comfortable night.

However, at this moment, he was alone.

Open the bottom drawer of the desk, and there is only a letter in it.The paper has turned yellow, but the handwriting is still clear.

"Dear Shou, I'm so glad to receive your letter. My family is fine and I don't need to send money home! Come back earlier, I miss you very much!"

After reading these few lines, Mitsui suddenly felt very lonely.In the past three years, he sent countless letters, wrote countless words of thoughts, and took countless photos, so why did he only receive this reply?

Sighed, did I not receive my letter, or did my lover not reply?

I really want to see it.But my home is too far away from my company, and I have always made up my mind not to come back to see Mu Mu unless I do something decent.

However, when he finally reached the peak of his career, what he got in exchange was bursts of emptiness.

This summer night, which was originally exuding a hot breath, gradually became colder because of a bright moon.Leaning against the window sill, Mitsui fell into deep memories.It's been three years since I saw my lover, and the image of him in my mind is a little fuzzy, can I still recognize him now?

Moreover, he has changed a lot from the past, and if he occasionally meets on the street, will he still recognize him?

Thinking of this, Mitsui couldn't sit still.Standing up suddenly, Mitsui opened the door, wanting to go out to try his luck.

……

"Chairman!"

His thoughts were interrupted by the oncoming sound, and his mind went blank for an instant.Raising his head, it was his assistant. Mitsui reacted for a second before replying:

"Ah, it's you, what's the matter?"

"I just handed over the contract you signed to the subsidiary." Seeing the loneliness and sadness in Mitsui's dark eyes, the assistant said carefully: "Chairman, you are too tired, go to bed early Right. Tomorrow, we will discuss with the board of directors about the general manager of the subsidiary company joining the board of directors, and you will be very busy in the near future."

"Thank you for your concern, I..." Still wanting to go out, Mitsui suddenly felt that he didn't know what to say.

"Chairman, please go to bed early. It's very late now, you always stay up late, which will ruin your body."

"Ah, thank you." The assistant's words drifted past his ears like the wind.I kept thinking about other problems and didn't pay attention to what the assistant was saying.As if he had made up his mind, Mitsui tentatively asked the assistant: "If I go out for a few days, will you handle the company's affairs well?"

When Mitsui said this, he obviously felt that he was short of breath, but why, Mitsui didn't know.

"Ah..." Obviously the assistant was taken aback by Mitsui's tone.After reflecting for several seconds, the assistant was sure that he had heard correctly: "Chairman, do you have something to do during this time? You have just signed the contract, and the matter of merging subsidiaries has not been dealt with... Mr. Chairman, I'm sorry, I don't It's time to ask about your private affairs, but during this time, there will be more things that you need to deal with..."

Hearing what the assistant said, Mitsui didn't say anything.Don't feel too depressed, haven't seen each other for three years, do you still care about these few days?

"So...how much time should I have?" Mitsui said to the assistant.

"Well... I can't say for sure. I remember that the last time was very different from the last time..." The assistant was very surprised to hear such a question from the chairman who was obsessed with working day and night. Bite the bullet and answer, the assistant didn't know what Mitsui meant.

"Is there anything you need to do immediately, chairman?" the assistant asked tentatively. After all, he didn't dare to ask Mitsui's personal affairs: "If you don't mind, I will do it for you?"

"It's nothing." Mitsui sighed lightly and said, "I'm just tired...I want to rest."

"Well, Chairman, you should have a good rest. I won't bother you anymore. You often stay up late and need to pay attention to your health." Full of doubts, the assistant left respectfully.

……

He sighed heavily.After the assistant left, deep sadness and loneliness returned to Mitsui's eyes.

Throw your whole body into the arms of the sofa.Mitsui felt he needed to wallow in a place where he couldn't see the sun, right now.

Originally, he thought that he could go back to see Mu Mu if he made a decent career, so he has been extraordinarily energetic in the past three years.Not only created his own company, but also defeated competitors.

However, just when he thought he could put everything down to regain that period of happiness, something happened that made him uncomfortable.It turns out that after reaching the peak of your career, you also need to deal with a lot of things...

This is very unwilling.

So my enthusiasm was exhausted all at once, like water being sucked dry by a sponge.

Although he thought that three years had passed and he didn't care about this period of time, Mitsui really didn't want Mu Mu to wait any longer.

I don't want to make Mu Mu wait another day.

"Have you received all those letters? Why did you only reply to one?" Drinking strong tea like wine all at once could not eliminate thousands of melancholy.

Mitsui didn't know who he could ask.

"Why did you only reply one letter? Don't you know that I miss you every day?" The comfort of the sofa reminded Mitsui of indulging.Simply close your eyes and let yourself walk into the world without pain.

Some regret that they didn't ask Mu Mu clearly how long he could wait for him.Although Mitsui always knew that his lover would be waiting for him, if he had asked him back then, maybe he would not be so troubled now.

Now, he can only let these three thousand threads of troubles torment him day and night.

Mitsui also wanted to be willful.

I want to plunge headlong into my lover's arms willfully, shake him and ask him why he didn't reply to my letter.

Ask him if he knows that he has missed him for three years.

Chapter 20

Finally finished all the things while staying up late and working overtime.It's already September, and as far as the eye can see, the flowers in the flower beds are starting to wither.

However, I still clearly remember the summer rose garden that year.

After signing the last document, Mitsui handed over the work schedule to the assistant and immediately drove away from the company.The car drove fast, just like him who had no hesitation.

He left the company he had lived in for three years.Next time, he will bring another person back with him.

After driving for several days and nights, the car finally arrived at the place he dreamed of returning to.

Surrounded by the hillsides of that year, the small manor of that year, and the beautiful villa of that year are still there.

Wipe my eyes, all of this is almost exactly the same as in my memory, the only thing that is not consistent is that autumn is coming, and the leaves are not as green as in midsummer.

Mitsui was ecstatic to be sure that there was nothing wrong with his eyes.Park the car at the gate of the garden, jump out of the car, and
