grey alley

The pen on the table was brought to the ground by the elbow, making a loud noise.Lu Mingzhou was so shocked that he came back to his senses, and saw a large black signature on the paper page stained by ink.

Recently, I always feel a little absent-minded. Lu Mingzhou pressed his forehead with his fingertips. Sitting for a long time and facing the computer and these contracts made his eyes a little blurry. So he closed his eyes and took a rest, and asked the secretary to come in and process the printed copy. New contracts come in.

The secretary quickly took the contract away, and found that the pen on the ground had been thrown out of ink, and the carpet was stained.

In the past two years, the subsidiaries of the group have merged. After the integration of resources, he was directly promoted from the branch to the position of president of the head office. The office was changed, and the office position was also changed. After work, he still drove for half a day every day. The journey back to the small villa.

The secretary outside the door was contacting others to discuss the matter of replacing the entire carpet in the CEO's office. At this moment, Lu Mingzhou went out with his suit jacket and signaled to her to leave work ten minutes earlier.

"Mr. Lu, I'll send you the contract tonight for review." The secretary put down the phone.

He nodded, took the elevator down to the garage to find his car, lay there for a long time before he came to his senses, and drove home for more than an hour.

The housekeeper tidied up the small flower garden very well, and bloomed clusters of bright and beautiful roses, which seemed to be a landscape in the yard. Lu Mingzhou pushed the door open, and the housekeeper used a feather duster to sweep the dust off the piano stand.

Seeing him come back, the housekeeper put back the dustproof cover, walked over and asked, "What would Mr. Lu want to eat tonight?"

Having no appetite, Lu Mingzhou took off his wristwatch, "Cook anything, even noodles."

"What kind of noodles do you want?"

Lu Mingzhou looked in the direction of the kitchen, and said in a strange way: "Let's make some noodles, put some scallion oil and minced meat, and mix it."

This is simple and very homely. The housekeeper went to the kitchen to tidy up, and Lu Mingzhou went to the room on the second floor.

Just after changing out of his suit, the phone rang.

It was from his family.

Lu Mingzhou answered the phone: "Hello? Mom."

Gao Jiayao said that she and her father have been back from abroad for so long, when will the family have time to get together for a meal.

Lu Mingzhou thought for a while, "The day after tomorrow, I will rest the day after tomorrow."

The two agreed, and then he went to the bathroom to take a shower, and the housekeeper had already prepared his dinner.

The butler used to be the chef of western food, so no matter how you say it, the food he made would not be bad, but Lu Mingzhou ate two mouthfuls, but he didn't seem to have the taste that he remembered. After thinking for a long time, Lu Mingzhou suddenly realized that it was the first time he ate this kind of mixed food. The noodles were made by Pei Xiqing, not by the butler, so it's normal for the taste to be different.

Thinking of the person who had been out of contact for two full years, Lu Mingzhou unconsciously rubbed some plain rings on his ring finger with the fingers of his left hand, and suddenly felt dull.

"Don't you like it? Do you want to try something else?" The housekeeper said, "Is it too tired? Mr. Lu has lost a lot of weight in the past two years."

The president is also a salary-based position. It is not enough to just sit in the office and smile evilly. He manages many subsidiaries of the group, which requires a lot of energy, and he can't tell other things to do. Some things are missing, sometimes he is too busy to go back to sleep as soon as he hits the bed, and he rarely has the energy to find a lover for entertainment, even though he has never found a lover since Pei Xiqing left up.

At the age of 37, he has long since lost his mind on it.

Lu Mingzhou sighed, put down his chopsticks, "No need, I don't have much appetite."

He went back to the study, opened the mailbox and saw the contract sent by the secretary, so he opened it and went through it carefully, then he printed it out and put it in a folder, and signed a line of fluent and beautiful signatures on it.Then continue to deal with the affairs that I didn't finish during the day.

There was a beep from the computer, and he thought that someone had sent some document, put the contract in the folder and clicked on the message pop-up window, only to find that it was just a photo sent by Lin Mizhi.

In the photo is a little baby with closed eyes and wrinkled skin, glowing red like a hairless little monkey, before Lu Mingzhou said anything, Lin Mizhi said beamingly, "Look at my daughter, how is it?! "

Just from this tone, Lu Mingzhou could imagine that his tail was about to go up to the sky.

He moved his fingertips slightly and typed out two words, "Congratulations."

Lin Mizhi and the female singer he had been pursuing were married two years ago. He stopped taking some messy scenes and began to take up his own responsibilities as a husband. Things are barely there now, and the results can still be seen.

Not long ago, Lin Mizhi told him that he was going to be a father, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.Among them, Lin Mizhi was probably the only one who really got what he wanted and lived the happiest life.

In the blink of an eye, it turns out that it has been more than four years, and time flies really fast.

Lin Mizhi laughed loudly, and said, "Look at your lonely old man, next time I invite you to drink my baby's full moon wine."

"I will definitely not be absent," Lu Mingzhou typed, "First, find out what kind of full moon gift you should give your daughter."

After chatting for a few words, Lin Mizhi went with his wife, Lu Mingzhou exited the chat interface, his eyes fell on his left ring finger uncontrollably, and he rubbed it subconsciously with his fingertips.

A soft sigh sounded in the silence.

Two days later, Lu Mingzhou returned to his ancestral home.

His parents are now very old, and they seldom go out since they came back from a trip abroad, so they hope that Lu Mingzhou, a trouble-free son, will come back to see them from outside.

Gao Jiayao took the car keys from him, and her charming face could vaguely see the beauty of her youth, "I've lost a lot of weight, is it because I'm too tired from work? I'll ask your dad to explain to the company. Son, he must have said nothing."

"It's okay." Lu Mingzhou slightly unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, looked left and right: "Where's Dad?"

"Your dad just went out and went for a walk with the dog. I told him to come back early," Gao Jiayao scolded, "This old man is so energetic. He walks around with the dog on a leash every day. He can walk around several times a day. I don't know when he habit."

"Dad is in good health," Lu Mingzhou smiled, "It's also good to go outside and walk around more."

The two sat for a while, before his father came back, Gao Jiayao hesitated holding his hand and asked, "Are you still alone?"

"Ah."

"Mingzhou, you're not too young anymore." Gao Jiayao sighed, her eyes glanced at the plain ring on his ring finger: "Are you still waiting for that child?"

Lu Mingzhou didn't speak.

"Mom doesn't have any other wishes, but you are already 37," she organized her words, "Mom wants to see you with someone by your side, instead of always being alone and alone, you have lost so much weight. "

Lu Mingzhou suppressed his urge to rub his forehead, and nodded following her words, "I will, Mom, don't worry."

If he really wants to find someone to accompany him, he must be able to find it at any time, but he is unwilling. Annoying him, he looked towards the door and said, "The old man is back."

Tang Yin changed the sneakers on his feet, loosened the dog leash slowly, and the fluffy and soft Samoyed pounced on him, and almost washed Lu Mingzhou's face with his tongue. Pulling off his paw, he said to Lu Yin who came in after changing his slippers: "Dad."

With warm eyes, Lu Yin stroked the dog's head, "Yes."

They are a family of four, with a kind-tempered father, a caring and nagging mother, and a lively, cheerful and aggressive Samoyed. Growing up in such a wealthy family with a good atmosphere, they have raised With such a gentlemanly and considerate temperament, it is impossible for him to lack happiness and self-confidence growing up in this kind of family.Probably because he is at two extremes with his children.

After staying in the old house for a day, he drove back to his small villa before nightfall.

After getting off the expressway and waiting for the traffic light at the fork, he turned on the car music and listened to some soothing piano music, looked at the road conditions bored, and suddenly his whole body trembled when he glanced at a figure under the traffic light.

He blinked, straightened his back and looked over seriously, the figure under the traffic lights disappeared again, as if he had an illusion.

There were people coming and going on the sidewalk, except for the figure I saw just now. His back was pressed back on the seat, and his whole figure seemed to have had a bone removed, and he was a little absent-minded.

The red light turned into a green light, and the car behind honked its horn a few times. Lu Mingzhou came back to his senses, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then started the car and left.

No matter what, it will never be him.

It has been two years, maybe he has already planned to settle abroad and is not going to come back.

After all, even if he came back, he would have nothing to miss.

Jiang Tan went to buy some hot drinks and came back, only to find Pei Xiqing standing under a kapok tree, not knowing what he was looking at.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Tan walked over and handed him the hot drink, and said with a smile: "I just came back, so I can't see some acquaintances by such a coincidence, right?"

Pei Xiqing turned around, the silver earrings on his left ear reflected in the sun, took a sip of the hot drink, "It's indeed an acquaintance."

The outline of his brows and eyes is a little deeper than before, and he has lost some of his former student spirit. His temperament is between that of a young man and that of a man, but his beautiful facial features still make people unable to move his eyes away, and passers-by are already staring sideways.

Jiang Tan lightly touched him with his elbow, "Let's go, the car is on the opposite side, my task today is to pick you up early, someone at home should be waiting."

Pei Xiqing drank the hot drink in two or three sips, threw the paper cup into the trash can by the side of the road, and responded lightly, "Well, let's go."

The author has something to say: When I write about Mr. Lu alone, my head is full of thoughts: 37-year-old Mr. Lu stays alone in the empty house. Netizens are enthusiastic, and they have launched condolence activities to care for the empty-nest elderly, feeling the truth and love in the world. warmth.

There is great love in the world.
