throwing gentle gl

After breakfast on the second day, Lu Zizheng, Lian Xuan's assistant, Ji Yao, and Lian Xuan discussed the details of cooperation with Japanese companies in the afternoon at the Jiangbei branch.When Lu Zizheng first saw Lian Xuan, he was embarrassed for a moment, but Lian Xuan, as if nothing had happened, took out the documents and sat safely opposite Lu Zizheng.

Lu Zizheng frowned, looking at Lian Xuan's calm posture, he couldn't help but suspect that everything that happened last night was all because of her self-importance and overthinking.

She smiled wryly, wasting her tossing and turning last night, unable to sleep.

The cooperation and talks with the other party went smoothly in the afternoon, and the two parties made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening.On the wine table, Lian Xuan boldly refused to refuse anyone who came, as if she was not drunk after a thousand glasses, she drank the wine handed over by the other party one after another.

Lu Zizheng didn't know Lian Xuan's usual posture at the wine table, but she could tell that the assistant and Ji Yao were a little surprised, with anxious expressions on their faces.

At the end of the banquet, when the banquet was over and the lights were on in the morning, when we walked out of the clubhouse, there was a rare silence around us.

Ji Yao helped Lian Xuan into the car, hesitated and told Lu Zizheng repeatedly: "She drinks too much, if there is something else, please take care of her."

Lu Zizheng nodded, and sat in the back seat of the car with Lian Xuan.

Not long after the car started, Lian Xuan turned her face and asked her weakly, "Can you lend me a shoulder? I have a headache and want to sleep for a while."

Lu Zizheng bit her lip, not knowing how to refuse, she knew that she had always been soft-hearted.So, in the end, I still stiffened my body, sat a little closer, and lowered my left shoulder.

Lian Xuan was not polite at all, she tilted her head, and rested her head on Lu Zizheng's slightly thin shoulder.

Many years ago, when Lian Xuan leaned her head on her shoulder, Lu Zizheng felt very heavy, as if he was carrying the whole world, and he was full of joy.Now, Lu Zizheng still feels very heavy, like a boulder is crushed on his heart, and he can't breathe dully.

Halfway through the car, Lian Xuan suddenly sat upright, and softly ordered: "Xiao Wang, stop the car next to me, I want to get out of the car to get some air."

Lu Zizheng looked at Lian Xuan in astonishment, not knowing why.

The car stopped on a section of Huanhai Road, Lian Xuan opened the door and got out of the car, Lu Zizheng had to accompany her.

On Huanhai Road in the middle of the night, there are only passing vehicles, the howling sea breeze, and tall street lamps standing alone.Lian Xuan walked unsteadily along the railing and under the streetlight.

Lu Zizheng slowed down and followed behind her, watching her figure swaying in the night, leaving behind a long, thin and lonely shadow.

Suddenly, Lian Xuan stopped, leaned against the railing, turned to look at Lu Zizheng, and said with a smile, "This road seems to be familiar to me. In my dream, it seems that I have traveled thousands of times."

Lu Zizheng stood diagonally across from her, looked around, silently waiting for Lian Xuan's next words.

Lian Xuan smiled wryly and sighed: "Zizheng, you seem to have become more silent when you grow up."

Lu Zizheng was speechless.

Lian Xuan doesn't know, it's not that she has become silent now, but that she, who used to face Lian Xuan, always has endless words and heartfelt feelings.

Lian Xuan said to herself: "This place is similar to the section of the road around the island that we went together that year. The vast sea, the asphalt road with no end..." She seemed to be trapped in endless memories. There was light in his eyes, and a smile on his lips: "At that time, there was a willow tree by the roadside, which had just sprouted new buds, and you still laughed at me, but you couldn't recognize what kind of tree it was..."

"We rented a tandem bicycle. You patted your chest and promised that you could ride it, but as soon as you got on the bike, you started to stagger around. I was so scared that I screamed and laughed behind me. You still thought I was noisy. Let me Let me be quiet. Later, you mastered the technique and the bike started to ride smoothly, but you still deliberately swayed the car to scare me. When I patted you on the back worriedly, you turned around and smiled at me triumphantly... "

She looked at Lu Zizheng, her eyes unblinking, and her tone was gentle and tender: "Zizheng, you don't know, I was thinking at the time, if there is no end to this road, we can just keep riding..."

Lu Zizheng pursed his lips, and was in a daze for a while, his nose was a little sore.However, it was Lian Xuan herself who jumped out of the car first, wasn't it?

She walked to Lian Xuan's side and stood beside her.Lian Xuan couldn't see her expression, and only heard her answer indifferently: "Really? It's been too long, I even forgot..."

Lian Xuan looked at her quietly for a moment, then turned back and continued to walk forward along the road.Her tone was low and lonely, and her voice was instantly swallowed by the sea breeze: "Really, I thought it was all yesterday..."

The wind was getting stronger, Lian Xuan was wearing thin clothes, and her hands were cold around her chest.

Lu Zizheng stood at the same place, watching her keep walking forward, and chased after her a few steps, took off his coat, put it on her body, and said lightly: "It's cold, go back, be careful of catching a cold."

Lian Xuan raised her head and took a deep look at her, then lowered her head, pursed her lips and smiled faintly, and said, "Okay..." Her hand tightened Lu Zizheng's coat, and there was still Lu Zizheng's vestiges on it. temperature.

On the way back, none of them spoke again, and Lian Xuan closed her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Lu Zizheng looked at her sideways, did Lian Xuan miss her back then, or herself back then?

However, whether it is Lian Xuan now or Lian Xuan back then, how much sincerity is there for her?

Now, why does she have to make that gesture of extreme nostalgia?

For the next three days, Lian Xuan was very busy. Lu Zizheng was always in contact with her assistant, and when she met Lian Xuan occasionally, she always smiled as usual and formulaic.Lu Zizheng thought, that night on Huanhai Road, it must have been just her occasional drunken gaffe, and no one would mention it again.

On the day of Lu Zizheng's birthday, she didn't go anywhere, she locked herself in the hotel room and worked as a translator for a day.

At noon, Lu's mother called to take care of her, and asked her to remember to buy a bowl of noodles and eat an egg for herself at night, and she would replenish her when she came back from the birthday dinner.

Lu Zizheng smiled and acted like a baby with his mother, saying that only mother is good in the world.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zizheng looked at the column "Jiang Huaixi" in the address book, and muttered to himself: "I really don't even have a phone number. The gift can't be delivered, and the blessing is also saved?"

It was after seven o'clock in the evening that Lu Zizheng went to the restaurant downstairs to eat a bowl of noodles and an egg, which was considered to be the end of celebrating his 27th birthday.

She put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at the reflection of her face on the white bowl, and silently said to herself, happy birthday.

The phone rang suddenly, it was Lian Xuan who had been silent for many days.

Lian Xuan's voice was calm and steady: "Come to my room."

The door was half-closed, Lu Zizheng knocked twice and heard Lian Xuan say "Please come in" and pushed the door open.I thought that Lian Xuan was going to instruct her about the affairs of the next few days, but when she entered the door, she saw Lian Xuan taking off her makeup, taking off her coat and only wearing a shirt, looking like she was about to take a rest.She was sitting on the sofa, turning on a small light, and was listening to music with her eyes slightly closed.

Seeing Lu Zizheng enter the door, Lian Xuan smiled, pointed to the sofa opposite her, and signaled Lu Zizheng to sit down.Then, she took out a box from the bag on the side, pushed it to Lu Zizheng from the glass coffee table, and said in a brisk tone: "Happy birthday. Birthday gift, open it and see if you like it."

Lu Zizheng never expected that Lian Xuan would remember, for a moment, she had mixed feelings, was it happiness, or sadness, joy, or melancholy?Even she can't tell the difference.

In the end, all the emotions turned into a wry smile on her lips: "Mr. Lian, I wish I could accept it, thank you. The gift is too expensive." While speaking, she pushed the box back.

Lian Xuan didn't hold back her smile, stared at Lu Zizheng with both eyes, and said jokingly: "When I gave you a gift before, you never considered its value. Didn't you say that no matter how expensive it is, it can't be more expensive than my heart? ?”

Lu Zizheng pursed his lips and looked at Lian Xuan, finally, he couldn't hold back the grievance and resentment in his heart for many years.Why, all these years, only she has been obsessed with criticizing herself, Lian Xuan has not blamed herself at all, doesn't she want to give herself a little explanation?She never knew that Lian Xuan, who had a great memory, was so forgetful.

She had no expression on her face, and said coldly: "You also said, it was before, didn't you? People change."

Lian Xuan couldn't laugh anymore, the smile froze on her lips.

Lu Zizheng stood up and said coldly, "Thank you, Mr. Lian, for your blessing. I'll go back first."

Lian Xuan finally lost her composure, stood up quickly, and blurted out: "Wait, Zizheng, what happened back then..." Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zizheng's cell phone rang.

Lu Zizheng took a look at her, then walked to the window and answered the phone.

She heard Lu Zizheng ask with a smile on his lips: "I'm already by the window, what's wrong?"

Then, she and Lu Zizheng saw together that the huge screen in the opposite building went out, and then suddenly flickered on again. On it was a photo of a girl with a ponytail and sportswear running. It was Lu Zizheng.The billboard on the road reads, Xiamen International Marathon.

After a while, the screen went off again, and the subtitles jumped up line by line: Lu Zizheng, happy birthday.The road of life is very long, you are the most, just ran a quarter, don't relax, keep going.

Lu Zizheng opened his eyes wide and looked out of the window in shock, his voice became a little unsteady, and he asked eagerly, "Where are you?"

But after a while, Lian Xuan heard Lu Zizheng hang up the phone, hurried out, and said to her as she walked, "Sorry, Mr. Lian, I have something to do, so I'm sorry."

She left in such a hurry that she didn't have time to finish what Lian Xuan was about to say: "I'm sorry for you for what happened back then."

Lian Xuan stood at the same spot, watching Lu Zizheng leaving in a hurry, feeling a little pain in her heart.

For the first time in her life, she compromised with herself and decided to let go and fulfill herself, but Lu Zizheng didn't give her a chance.

She knew earlier that this world is very fair, and everything can only be gained if you give it up, but at this moment, why does she still feel that she is full of reluctance and unwillingness?
