Chapter 17

After sending the message, Lu Hongxi leaned back on the sofa cushion and hummed the melody behind him softly to the night sky.

He loves "Dreams of Love."

I still remember hearing this piece for the first time at an art performance.At that time, he was only five and a half years old, accompanied by his mother to watch the show.The performers on the stage are not very old, but they have extraordinary talents.One of the boys in a white dress played the entire "Dream of Love" in front of a white grand piano.

He didn't know whether he was attracted by the melody of the piece, or by the boy's elegant posture and nimble fingers. After the end, he pestered his mother to learn the piano.

His family is well-off, and his mother is career-minded, and she doesn't spend much time with him, so naturally she wants to satisfy him.

The vibration of the mobile phone pulled him out of his memories, Zheng Zhuoting replied: 【Not busy, what's wrong? 】

He looked at the screen, and the performer behind him just reached a climax. Hearing the flowing music made his heart itch unbearably, and his fingers also itch, so he replied: [It's nothing, I want to play the piano now. 】

【Where are you now? 】

【MOONLIGHT. 】

【A person? 】

【Um. 】

Two minutes later, the phone rang, and he picked it up with a smile, and Zheng Zhuoting asked, "You don't know how to drink, do you?"

Looking at the almost bottomless red wine bottle, he replied, "A little bit."

"Your voice doesn't sound a little bit." Zheng Zhuoting pierced him: "Sure enough, drunks don't want to die."

He understood that this was a joke, so he retorted: "I heard that you can drink better than me, Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Zhuoting laughed, and the magnetic laughter flowed into his ears, just like the bass keys pressed when playing the piano.His little finger moved slightly, it was a subconscious movement to press the keys.

Zheng Zhuoting returned to the main topic: "Didn't you just leave the hospital at noon? If you don't go back and have a good rest, why did you go there alone to drink again?"

Lu Hongxi sighed after hearing this: "I can't go back, the door lock code has been reset."

"He won't let you in?" Zheng Zhuoting asked suspiciously.

Lu Hongxi looked behind him, he and the other table were the only ones on the viewing platform, but the distance between the two tables was far away, so he felt relieved and said, "He didn't want Ye Feng to go back and help me with my luggage, but asked me to go back by myself." .”

"Does he want to talk to you again?"

"Maybe. But I saw the lawyer at noon, and I will leave everything to the lawyer. I will not see him again."

Zheng Zhuoting picked up the coffee cup on the table and walked towards the kitchen: "Then what are you going to do tonight?"

"Sleep in the hotel first."

"What about tomorrow night? You don't plan to stay in a hotel for a long time, do you?"

"I have other properties."

"That's right, there's no need to worry about this for you."

Hearing this, Lu Hongxi laughed again.He changed his lazy posture and leaned on the sofa, pulled a pillow and pressed it in his arms, and sighed: "You really love to worry as always. Aren't you tired?"

"I'm also a picker." Zheng Zhuoting said with a smile, "You think I treat everyone like this."

Lu Hongxi's lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.

He knew that Zheng Zhuoting's words were not ambiguous. When an old classmate who hadn't seen him for many years encountered such a thing, Zheng Zhuoting took care of him with the idea of ​​helping him as much as possible.

After thinking this way, his expression became more and more lonely.

When I first met Huang Shengye, although that person was not as stable as Zheng Zhuoting, he took care of him submissively and gave him all kinds of surprises.

But why did such a deep love become a stranger in the end?Is it really just that he doesn't have enough time with him?Or is it because he thinks highly of Huang Shengye?

I don't know if Zheng Zhuoting has a girlfriend, if so, I hope he won't meet the same ending as me.But he is so good, it is a very happy thing to be his girlfriend, and the other party should cherish it.

The music behind him stopped, and Lu Hongxi looked back, and saw that the man playing the piano had already walked towards the room, so he sat down at the piano, and pressed his fingers casually on the keys a few times.

While he was doing this, Zheng Zhuoting also finished his coffee, returned to the table and asked, "Are you playing?"

"Yeah." Lu Hongxi played an unknown tune with his right hand. After a while, he felt unsatisfactory, so he simply said: "Hang up first, I'll play a tune before we talk, my hands are itchy."

"No need to hang up." Zheng Zhuoting said: "Just put your phone on the music stand, and I'll listen to it too."

"Okay." Lu Hongxi put the phone flat, tested the sound and began to play "Dream of Love".

The melodious melody flowed from his fingertips, sometimes gentle and soothing, sometimes brisk and passionate, like glass beads falling to the ground.Zheng Zhuoting turned on the speaker, put the phone flat on the table, and his eyes stopped on the document in front of him again.

Classical music has a charm that can make people calm down easily.When I was reading this document just now, Zheng Zhuoting still felt that he was not concentrating and needed to add caffeine.Listening to the piece played by Lu Hongxi at this moment, those complicated supplementary clauses were actually read right away.

He took a pen and circled the problematic place, and the piano sound stopped after only half of the circle.He raised his head and heard a strange man's voice: "Mr. Lu, I'm a reporter from [Daily Star News]. Do you have time now? Can I interview you briefly?"

Zheng Zhuoting picked up the phone, turned off the speaker and put it to his ear, and heard Lu Hongxi rejecting it displeasedly: "Sorry, I don't accept this kind of interview."

"Mr. Lu! Don't leave. There are rumors about you being raped by Huang Shengye on the Internet these days. Do you have any response to this?"

"I have nothing to say, please leave."

"Mr. Lu, what happened to your neck? Did Huang Shengye hit it? Mr. Lu, tell me something!"

"Mr. Lu!"

"Sir, please leave immediately, we don't allow videotaping and interviews here."

The last sentence was the voice of another strange man, interspersed with the sound of messy footsteps and the collision of tables and chairs.Zheng Zhuoting frowned, he could understand what happened to Lu Hongxi just by hearing this.He heard the cane leaning down on the ground, and he didn't call out until the surroundings became quiet, "Hongxi? Are you okay?"

Lu Hongxi leaned against the sink, looking at her slightly embarrassed self in the mirror, feeling so bad that she couldn't describe it in words.

He put the mobile phone on the sink, turned on the faucet and poured water on his face. He didn't stop until the hair on his forehead and temples were wet, panting heavily.

Zheng Zhuoting did not urge him, but only said after the sound of running water stopped: "If you calm down, please call me back, lest I keep worrying."

Lu Hongxi wiped his face with a tissue, wiped off all the drops of water on his hands before picking up his phone, and said calmly, "Sorry, I'm fine."

"Where are you now?"

"Toilet."

"Where's that reporter? Still outside?"

"I don't know, he was stopped by Moonlight's waiters."

"How's your foot?"

Lu Hongxi moved his right foot. He left in a hurry just now. Although he bumped into the table, there was nothing wrong with his right foot, so he said it was okay.

"Since there are reporters here, you can take the elevator to the hotel to rest, and don't come out." Zheng Zhuoting said.

"Well, I think so too." Lu Hongxi said: "Then let's leave it at that."

Seeing that he was about to end the call, Zheng Zhuoting said: "Wait, you are alone now, and your feet are not very convenient. Don't hang up the phone, just go to the hotel like this, and hang up after you enter the room."

Lu Hongxi was startled, and realized that Zheng Zhuoting was worried that he would be pestered by that reporter again, and said, "Don't worry, he's half a head shorter than me, and he'll be fine."

"It's better to be safe. You haven't come out to speak since the accident. Who knows if this reporter will do excessive things to dig up news."

Zheng Zhuoting's tone was very insistent, and it was hard for him to refuse.And to be honest, he was a little scared just now.

"Ok."

I don't know if it was because of someone accompanying him, but after walking out of the bathroom, he didn't feel uneasy anymore when he looked at the long, quiet and deserted corridor when he came.It's just that he was afraid of being secretly photographed or eavesdropped, so he didn't say anything on the phone, but he and Zheng Zhuoting listened to each other's slight breathing, and walked slowly to the hotel floor.

After checking in, the room attendant brought him into the room, and after the door was closed, he said, "I'm in the room."

"Is the safety chain off?" Zheng Zhuoting reminded.

He turned around and put on the safety chain, and said with a smile, "Your safety awareness is pretty good."

"There are so many hotels, it's hard to figure it out."

"Okay, let's do it like this." He touched the hot phone while talking, and his heart was warm: "It's delayed you for so long again."

"Can you stop being polite to me?" Zheng Zhuoting said helplessly.

He smiled, and heard the other side continue to say: "Then you should go to bed earlier, and if you need my help, you can come to me at any time."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, he bent down to change his shoes, and a burst of dizziness suddenly came to his head.He had no choice but to hold on to the wall to stand still. Before he could reach the bedside, the phone rang again.

He looked at the screen and pressed reject, but Huang Shengye kept calling, which ruined his finally calmed down, and he simply blocked the number.

He slept in the hotel for one night, and reported the progress when Ye Feng came to deliver a change of clothes at noon the next day.Lawyer Jiang had already contacted Huang Shengye, but Huang Shengye still did not agree to the divorce.However, almost all the information has been collected, and the court application can be submitted tomorrow.

He didn't say anything, and returned to the studio with Ye Feng. At night, Ye Feng sent him to a community in Dongcheng District.

This is a property he bought a few years ago, a high-rise apartment with four bedrooms and two living rooms.Both the decoration and surrounding facilities are very good, but the privacy is much worse than Lanting.

For safety's sake, Ye Feng will pick him up to and from get off work during this time.Unexpectedly, on the third morning, Liu Ying, the chief secretary next to Huang Rixian, came to the door first, and invited him to go back to talk about the divorce.

At that time, Lu Hongxi had just woken up, and when he opened the door, he saw a person standing upright.

He didn't want to attract the attention of the neighbors, so he let Liu Ying in.Liu Ying stood at the entrance, did not go in, but said indifferently: "Hurry up and wash up, Mr. Huang, Mrs. Huang, and the three Mr. Huang are already waiting for you at home."

He frowned: "I've already gone through legal procedures for divorce."

Liu Ying explained in a flat tone: "It is precisely because you insist on going through legal procedures that Director Huang asked you to go back and negotiate this matter."
