lake garden moon

In the south, the summer is hot and long.The woods at the end of July appear at the tunnel entrance.The car drove forward through the tunnel and along the regular road.At the end of the broad-leaved tree road is Lake Garden.

In the afternoon, just after four o'clock.The heat of the day is gradually released in the high temperature, and the shadow of the sun deepens little by little.The city under the bright sun is no longer dazzling, revealing its gentle original face with diffuse light.

In the arrival hall, Kang Zhier took the suitcase in his hand and followed the crowd to the airport exit without any haste.

He was a tall, well-boned, well-dressed young boy who was easily noticed in the crowd.And the bright look on his face, coupled with the smile that seems to bloom at any time, can further deepen other people's impression of him.

Kang Zhier came to the exit of the hall and stepped into the open air in the afternoon, a wave of summer heat gently hit his cheeks.

He stood still for a while, and after he got used to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, he relaxed his shoulders knowingly.

This is exactly what he is familiar with, the summer atmosphere unique to the south.

Kang Zhier pulled the suitcase and followed the signs to the parking area when he heard someone calling him.

"Xiao Zhi."

He turned around and found that the driver of Lake Garden was already waiting for him.After he stopped, he immediately laughed.

"Zheng Tong, long time no see."

When Kang Zhier left the south at the end of the summer vacation last year, Zheng Tong sent him to the airport.

"Long time no see," Zheng Tong greeted him with a smile, stepped forward to take the suitcase in his hand, and greeted him, "Is the flight going well?"

"Yeah," Kang Zhier nodded, and answered him, "Not bad."

Zheng Tong took the suitcase and walked straight to the trunk of the car, and Kang Zhier got into the car first.

Zheng Tong put the suitcase away and returned to the car. After confirming that Kang Zhier was seated, he started the car engine and drove away from the parking lot.

After the car left the airport and got on the return road, Kang Zhier looked away from the car window.

He took off the mask, and while picking up the earphones hanging around his neck with his hands, he asked Zheng Tong: "How is everyone this year?"

"It's all good," Zheng Tong was driving at a slow speed, and he spoke in the same tone, answering Kang Zhier, "Some parts of the mansion are being renovated, and Bandari has added new plants in the garden. You’ll love it when you see it.”

"Hmm." Kang Zhier agreed with Zheng Tong's words, and he had always believed in Bandari's vision.

At this time, his mobile phone beeped suddenly.Kang Zhier picked up the phone, and when he lowered his head to look at it, he heard Zheng Tong suddenly say in front of him: "The young master just left for the old man's place yesterday afternoon. If Xiao Zhi had come a day earlier, he would have met him." gone."

Hearing this, Kang Zhier immediately grabbed the phone subconsciously.Soon, his fingers slowly relaxed. After calming down the panic in his heart, he responded to Zheng Tong with a smile: "Really? What a coincidence."

"Well," Zheng Tong didn't seem to want to end the topic, and then asked him after nodding, "Have you not seen Xiaozhi and the young master for a while?"

"It seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time," Kang Zhier frowned, trying to recall, "The last time I saw him was probably at Dad's birthday dinner last year."

"It's really been a long time since we saw each other," Zheng Tong nodded, and then analyzed with some understanding, "Xiao Zhi is still in school and spends most of her time abroad, and she will only come back during the holidays. The young master officially took over the family. After starting a career, the whole day is mainly about work. The chances of you meeting each other are indeed becoming less and less.”

"Yes." Kang Zhier briefly agreed.

After speaking, the car became quiet.Just when he thought this topic could be over, Zheng Tong suddenly continued.

"It's strange to say."

Kang Zhier felt a little guilty, put his phone on his lap, picked up the water glass in his backpack, pretended not to care and agreed, "What?"

"Although Xiaozhi, you don't often stay in China," Zheng Tong recalled while driving, "but every summer you will stay in Lake Garden for a while. It is reasonable for you to have the opportunity to meet each other. But every time you meet The day when the young master went to see the old gentleman, the two of them just missed it."

After listening to Zheng Tong's words, Kang Zhier was a little dumbfounded, thinking that Zheng Tong really shouldn't use such a meaningful word "miss" on him and Elvis, especially if he knew the truth of the matter.

He sat quietly in the back seat alone, apparently drinking water when he was thirsty, but he was actually thinking about how to solve this problem, so that Zheng Tong would not go any further.

After all, Kang Zhier's level of lying is too bad.

Just when he was drinking water and was about to fall into deep thought, a sudden phone call saved him.

Kang Zhier answered the phone almost immediately.

"Hello, Mom!"

"Well, I just arrived, on my way to the garden..."

So far, the topic about Elvis in the car has come to an end.

About 10 minutes later, they returned to the vicinity of Lake Garden.

When the car drove into the boulevard, Kang Zhier lowered the car window and saw the tall hedges extending from the inside of Lake Garden from a distance.

No matter in any season, Lake Garden always reveals a unique manor style.Its large-scale uniform beauty often attracts polar evaluations.Some people think it is too neat and not vivid enough.But this did not affect its position in Kang Zhier's heart at all.

Kang Zhier has always had warm and fulfilling feelings for Lake Garden.He spent nearly his entire childhood on the Lake family lawn and gardens.

The car came to the door, the outside gate slowly opened, and the car drove smoothly into the garden.

Kang Zhier put down the car window, all he could see were the familiar scenery from the past.Every shrub, every lawn, and the neatly arranged tulip flower beds in the garden made him feel kind.

Zheng Tong drove the car to the front of the main house and stopped. The butler of Lake Garden stepped forward to open the car door for Kang Zhier, leaned over and looked at him with a smile.

"Xiao Zhi, welcome back to Lake Garden."

"Bandari."

Kang Zhier jumped out of the car like a child, and stepped forward to give Bandari a hug.

Bandari was a tall, older male who had been working for the Lake family long before Conchier was born.

In Kang Zhier's eyes, he has always been an image of a kind and stable elder.Although the years passed, he was old and no longer as young as in Kang Zhier's seal, his embrace still made Kang Zhier feel safe.

Kang Zhier turned around and asked Bandari with a smile: "Are you happy to see me coming?"

The years have left marks on Bandari's face.The close gaze allowed Kang Zhier to see Bandari's face clearly.His brows and hair were lighter, and some of the skin textures on his face became clearer.The only thing that hasn't changed is that pair of calm and clear eyes as before.

"I'm very happy," Bandari said with calm eyes and a slight smile on his face. "I hope you can stay longer this summer. I haven't held a birthday ceremony for you for many years."

"Well," Kang Zhier nodded to Bandari, and promised him with a smile, "I will try my best."

"You're tired from flying," Bandari patted him on the shoulder, "Go to the house first."

Every visitor will leave a deep impression on Lake Garden.Not only because of its solemnity and style, but also because of the difference in architectural style.

From the outside, Lake Gardens looks like the epitome of European panache: well-mannered and never smiling.Many visitors are preconceived that the interior is equally lifeless because of its exterior.

However, to the surprise of many people, the interior design of this mansion is not only aura and vivid, but also full of humanistic atmosphere.

The living room here has both the function of meeting guests and viewing. Every piece of furniture and artwork is arranged ingeniously; every window can allow sunlight to enter the room just right, illuminating and warming the whole house without making people feel hot.

The indoor environment with sufficient light sources can make Kang Zhier feel full of energy.The moment he stepped into the mansion, his body suddenly became warm and light.The outlines of childhood memories emerge and fade away, gradually becoming clear in the incoherent memory flashbacks.

The brief thoughts drifted past, and Kang Zhier returned to reality.Looking at this transparent and bright mansion, Kang Zhier couldn't understand how a person with such a personality like Elvis could endure such a design style that was completely inconsistent with his heart for 28 years. And didn't make any changes.

"Xiao Zhi."

Bandari's voice brought Kang Zhier back to his thoughts, and he turned to look at Bandari.

"The kitchen is already preparing dinner," Bandari told him, "you go upstairs to rest first, and I'll ask you to come down when dinner is ready."

The flight across the two cities is not long, but it is not short either.Kang Zhier just felt a little tired, so he nodded to Bandari.

Afterwards, he followed the servant who was carrying the luggage and slowly walked up to the third floor.

Kang Zhier has his own exclusive bedroom in Lake Garden, and he has slept in it since childhood.Therefore, even if he hasn't checked in for nearly a year, he won't feel a great sense of strangeness after entering the room.

The servant sent the luggage to the bedroom and went out, and Kang Zhier followed to the door.The moment the door was closed, he raised his eyes, and his gaze crossed the large opening in the middle of the third floor, and slowly fell to the closed white wooden door on the opposite side.

In Kang Zhier's impression, that bedroom door was always white and flawless.In the past so many years, it has not shown any signs of yellowing or even getting old.Kang Zhier even wondered if Elvis had ordered countless identical white wooden doors and placed them in a certain warehouse in Lake Garden in order to keep it pure and white.

After staring at the bedroom door for a long time without moving, Kang Zhier's thoughts suddenly went for a while, and a famous quote from his good friend Irene sounded in his ears.

"The most accomplished person, isn't it you, Xiaozhi?"

"You are the only one who dares to freely enter and exit the master room in Lake Garden as his own bedroom."

I don't know whether it's because the aftermath of Irene's shocking remarks has not receded, or the power of Elvis who is far away on the western coast is too great, and Kang Zhier can't bear it just by remembering it.

He shivered, folded his arms and closed the door, turned around, shook his head and thought: It's too scary, he will never dare to open that door again for the rest of his life.
