Sediment rises

Chen Zui rarely arrived home before 07:30 today.

After graduating from university, he returned to China and entered his father's company as a department manager, and was later promoted to general manager step by step.In fact, he doesn't go to work on Saturdays and Sundays, but being in this house always makes him feel suffocated and heavy at the bottom of the lake, so he often goes to the company on weekends or goes out to drink with a group of friends to relieve boredom.

Chen Zui stopped when he passed the garden in the front yard. This small garden used to be a big fish pond, but later the fish pond was moved to the back yard, so it became empty. Last year, Lin Congxuan bought some flower seedlings to grow flowers.

Blue hydrangeas were planted in the outermost circle, two rows of strong succulent potted plants were placed on both sides of the path, and a whole piece of champagne roses was planted in the middle of the garden. The flowering period has passed, and only a few blooms are still there. Tenaciously in full bloom, it exudes a light scent of roses.

Chen most remembers that this is his mother's favorite flower, and they used to plant a whole flower in their garden.Every time Yu Cong went to his house, he thought the smell was too pungent, but Lin Congxuan liked it very much. When he first went to their house, he hid in the room and ignored no one. I fell in love with it, and went to the garden regularly every day to catch insects and weeds.

Realizing that he was remembering those useless things from the past, the corners of Chen most unconsciously raised his mouth and sank again. He snorted coldly. Lin Congxuan always wins people's hearts with those seemingly innocent eyes, and this flower is also for him to please. It's just a trick.

When he opened the door, there was no familiar smell of food coming from him. It was only when the voice-activated light in the entrance came on and then dimmed that Chen Zuo realized that the house was dark and silent.

When the switch was pressed, the crystal chandelier in the living room suddenly lit up, and the room was instantly brightly lit.Chen Zui walked to the restaurant in a few steps, and the table was empty, with no food or Lin Congxuan.He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was exactly 07:30. Lin Congxuan, who had been sitting here at 07:30 every day like a robot for three years, had disappeared, as if he had been enchanted and suddenly disappeared.

The living room was very quiet, and the quiet Chen Zui seemed to hear his own heartbeat that accelerated suddenly, and he was a little dazed.

For three years, Lin Congxuan would prepare three dishes and one soup every day at a fixed time, obediently sitting at the dining table and waiting for Chen Zui. Every 5 minutes, he would go to the floor-to-ceiling windows to see if there were any cars passing by outside. If not, he would continue to go back. Sit down at the dinner table and repeat the cycle seven days a week.

Seven days a week, there was only one day when Chen Zui would arrive home on time before Lin Congxuan's dinner. On this day, he would have a peaceful dinner with Lin Congxuan. It slowly hangs down in the empty space, until the next time Chen Zui goes home for dinner, it rises again, and the cycle repeats seven days a week.

Chen was most like an experienced angler with a fishing rod in hand, skillfully throwing out the bait, tricking Lin Cong into picking the little koi raised in the pond, and coaxing him to turn around.

But today he seems to have miscalculated.

Chen Zui was a little distraught. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Congxuan's number. A few seconds later, a cold system notification sound came from the mobile phone.He poked open the SMS page again, and there was a whole row of messages from Lin Congxuan, one every day, "Are you going home for dinner today?", Chen Zui didn't reply to any of them, but he didn't receive any messages today.

Chen Zui quickly went upstairs and entered the study to turn on the computer, even he himself didn't realize that his hands were shaking slightly.

Lin Congxuan lives a regular life. He stays at home five days a week, and goes out once every Tuesday and Saturday. That is his "social time". Chen doesn't interfere the least, but he will definitely return home before five o'clock.

If you don't come back, maybe something happened, or...

Chen most thought of a little farce last night, his eyes narrowed, revealing a trace of imperceptible complexity.

Soon, Chen Zui called up the surveillance video from the morning.

The surveillance system at home was installed a few months ago. When he came home that day, he found that Lin Congxuan had brought the stray cats into the house to feed him. He was a little annoyed. He didn’t like pets, and he didn’t know if the stray cats outside were sick or not.Lin Congxuan has been full of love since he was a child. He has no resistance to cats, cats and dogs.Although Lin Congxuan later promised that he would never bring the little wild cat into the house again, Chen Zui asked his assistant to find someone to install the surveillance system.

In the first few days when he went to work, he would open the software in the office to check the situation at home through monitoring, because Lin Congxuan had a "criminal record".

In his third year of high school, Chen Zui was very busy with his studies, so he didn't often pick up Lin Congxuan from school. Most of them were picked up by the driver Uncle Zhao.One day, Lin Congxuan arrived home a little later than usual, with a bulging schoolbag.Chen Zui then asked him what was in the bag. Before Lin Congxuan could open his mouth, he heard the "barking" sound of the little milk dog in the bag. He opened the bag and saw a dirty little black dog blinking. The big innocent eyes arched wildly in the schoolbag.

This puppy was abandoned by others at the gate of the school. Because it was not a breed of dog, no one was willing to take it away. Only Lin Congxuan saw that it was homeless, put it in a schoolbag and took it home.

Chen Zui's mother was allergic to dog hair. Lin Congxuan felt very guilty when he found out about it. He put the dog back the next day and promised Chen Zui that he would not hug the little wild dog again.

The next day, Chen Zui deliberately followed Lin Congxuan after school early, and the kid who threw away the dog didn't behave obediently, so he put the little wild dog that no one took away into his schoolbag, and then he sent the little wild dog to Liang Yiwan. .

Chen, who was following behind, clenched his cheeks angrily. Originally, he wanted to help Lin Congxuan send the puppy to the pet hospital to have it checked and vaccinated, and then keep it in the backyard.He had already ordered a kennel online, but they gave it to Liang Yiwan behind his back.Since then, Chen's dislike for Liang Yiwan has become more and more distasteful.

Thinking of the past, Chen Zui flicked the mouse like a tantrum, dragged the progress bar to the time when he was going out in the morning, and adjusted the double speed.

On the computer screen, Lin Cong chose to leave the room after nine o'clock, and he looked the same as usual.But instead of pressing the washing machine or watering the garden, he took out a package of something that looked like food from the top cabinet in the kitchen and poured it into a basin. Chen Zui zoomed in on the screen and found that it was cat food. Lin Congxuan poured a large basin full of it, almost filling the kitten's appetite for a month before he stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Congxuan went to the flower garden and put the cat food on the ground. He looked around for a while, as if he looked a little depressed because he didn't see the cat.He squatted down and fiddled with the cat food, waited for a while before returning to the house reluctantly.

Lin Cong chose to go back to the room, changed his clothes after a while, and left the room with a bulging backpack on his back.When he reached the stairs, he looked at Chen Zui's room on the second floor, twisting his clothes buttons with both hands, and finally he looked at the wall clock on the wall and went out the door.The surveillance video went by at a speed of sixteen times, and the living room was deserted until it fell into the dark forest and did not come back.
