lake garden moon

It started at about five o'clock in the afternoon, and the south entered an infinite sunset.

This is a magical phenomenon.Because it happens randomly and cannot be predicted, it can happen anywhere and at any time on the planet.

At this time, there is still a lot of skylight remaining, and the outside is bright.Twilight filtered through the earth, and everything was dyed a red gold color.The light and soft halo fell on Lake Garden, and this solemn and imposing ancient manor also became soft and beautiful.

The temperature in the evening was lower than that in the daytime. Kang Huaxin's son stood in the shadow of the trees on the big lawn, smelled the cool air, put his head on her body, and told her: "Mom, there is a summer smell in the garden."

Kang Zhier was immersed in the twilight, and his mood was peaceful.He has only seen infinite sunsets in documentaries in the past, and he followed his classmates abroad to calculate the time and place, but he never encountered them.

Today, he witnesses the magic moment firsthand in his favorite garden where he grew up.

Not far in front of him, Mavis leaned against the Burminghams.Looking at the colorful petal-colored skyline, Bu Minghan turned his face away, and said in Mavis' ear, "We want to watch the sunset for a lifetime."

Meivis smiled with his eyes bent, and kissed her husband's cheek in the sunset.

To the west of the garden is a large grassy slope that gently rises and extends out. From there, you can harvest the most beautiful scenery in the south.

The setting sun stayed at that position at this time.

"We want to watch the sunset for a lifetime."

Kang Zhier stared at the sun hanging low in the sky, and only then did he realize the weight of these words in his heart.

Only those who are naive enough or mature enough dare to say such a thing.

The breeze came slowly, messing up Kang Zhier's forehead hair.His face turned a few degrees, and his eyes turned to the mansion behind the garden, seeing the rays of the setting sun shining into the main living room on the first floor from different angles.

One of the beams fell in front of the French windows, illuminating the quiet piano and Elvis sitting in front of it.

In the empty living room, the silhouette of Elvis looked silent and alone.

He sat upright in front of the piano, lowered his head slightly, put his fingers on the keys, and quietly stroked the alternating black and white keys.

The rising moon in the garden caught the attention of the children.Attracted by the children's voices, Kang Zhier briefly turned away.

When he turned his head and looked towards the living room again, he found that Elvis was no longer in front of the piano.

The light also disappeared.

In the banquet hall on the first floor, there is a long dining table that can accommodate 30 people, which is an ideal place for receiving guests.

When everyone came back from the garden, the sunset outside was still going on.

Kang Zhier heard from Bandari that he once saw an infinite sunset that lasted until midnight.

After the guests came back, Bandari went back to the kitchen and began to arrange the meal.

There is also a French window in the dining room, from which you can see the view of the garden.

Kang Zhier came back after going to the bathroom, and when he passed the window, he suddenly noticed two figures on the grassy slope to the west.

He stopped and approached the window, and through the dim light outside, he saw Elvis sitting on the bench on the grassy slope to the west.And beside the bench, stood Bojiali.

One of them was sitting and the other was standing.Due to the distance, Kang Zhier could only see their silhouettes, but he could tell that the two were talking at this time, and the atmosphere was relatively peaceful.

Kang Zhier felt that this scene was quite rare.After all, in the twenty years since he knew Elvis, there were very few people of the opposite sex who could chat with Elvis for more than 5 minutes.

When he was about to look down, he suddenly felt a small hand grabbing his trouser leg.

Kang Zhier froze for a moment, turned around, and found that it was his little nephew who he had forgotten in the bathroom.

The little nephew put his hand into his palm, raised his face and asked him, "Uncle, why didn't you wait for me?"

Kang Zhier quickly squatted down and apologized to his little nephew: "I'm sorry baby, my uncle left in a hurry, so I forgot all of a sudden."

"Baby is hungry, shall we go to find mother?"

"En." The little nephew nodded obediently.

Afterwards, he picked up his little nephew and walked towards where Kang Huaxin was.

The dinner party ended around eight o'clock.

After sending all the guests away, the servants began to tidy up the banquet hall.

At this time, the sky outside has not completely turned black, and the purple sky can still be seen in some places.

After Kang Zhier bid farewell to Kang Huaxin's family, he returned to the garden. Seeing that it was still early, he took a walk in the garden alone.

It's a warm summer night.There are many plants in the garden, and the air is full of humid summer breath.

Kang Zhier was just leisurely walking around the lawn at first, but after walking around twice, he slowly walked towards the grassy slope to the west.

The grassy slope on the west connects with the scenery outside the garden.Therefore, when Kang Zhier walked higher and higher along the grass slope, his vision became wider and wider.

At last, when he reached the highest point of the grass slope and came to the edge of the bench, he was illuminated by the light from the opposite bank to the south.

This is Kang Zhier's favorite place.

A tall linden tree was planted on the grass slope.When people sit under the tree, the shade will block all the hot sun.

Kang Zhier sat down on the bench, smelling the cold night air, and unconsciously relaxed his body.

He leaned his head back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers unconsciously on the wooden seat.

He was playing "Lullaby," from Gabriel Frey's "Doll Suite"—the one he and Elvis played on Grandpa Lake's birthday.

It was the first time he and Elvis played four-handed.They also learned many other songs later, but they still like this one the most.Sometimes after piano lessons, they would end the day with a lullaby.

Kang Zhier sat on the bench for a while, and then prepared to return to the mansion.

When he got up, the phone slipped out of his pants pocket and fell on the seat.

Kang Zhier bent over to get his phone, but he didn't expect to find a men's wallet in the corner of the seat.

"Who left the wallet here?" Kang Zhier was a little surprised.

He put the phone back in his pocket, then lifted the wallet from the seat.

Kang Zhier looked at the unfamiliar wallet in his hand and muttered, "I don't know whose it is."

He thought that there might be documents in the wallet that could provide the owner's information, so he opened the wallet.

Just opened the wallet, and before Kang Zhier had time to take a look, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

"Kang Zhier!"

This sound of Elvis almost didn't send Kang Zhier away.

He turned around clutching his heart, and just about to speak, the wallet in his hand was taken away in a second.

"Elvis, you scared me." Kang Zhier told him.

Elvis ignored him, took the wallet away, opened it for a look, and then closed them forcefully.

Kang Zhier put down his hand and asked him, "Is this your wallet?"

"I sat here for a while just now," Elvis answered him, facing him sideways, "I left my wallet behind."

Kang Zhier recalled seeing him sitting here in the banquet hall, nodded clearly and said, "Just find it."

Then he asked Elvis, "Is there nothing missing in there?"

"No." Elvis replied.

After finishing speaking, he turned around, looked at Kang Zhier slightly seriously, and asked him in a low voice: "Have you ever opened this wallet?"

"How could there be time?" Kang Zhier spread his hands at him, "I just picked up the wallet, and you appeared behind me."

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly realized what was wrong, and he put his hands on his back and asked Elvis: "You don't think I'm going to take the money inside, do you?"

"No." Elvis turned his face away, and then said to him, "Thank you."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the path under the grassy slope.

"It's weird."

Kang Zhier muttered, and was about to walk down the grassy slope.

Elvis walked quickly, as if he was rushing to leave.After a while, his figure disappeared into the night.

Kang Zhier walked back slowly along the path, and when he reached the middle of the path, the moon just appeared in the sky above his head.

Looking at the gradually clear shadows while walking under his feet, those memory fragments that were temporarily forgotten by Kang Zhier were also picked up one by one.

He recalled the brief moment when he opened the Elvis wallet and caught a glimpse of a photograph of a person in the compartment.

The light was too poor, and Elvis appeared suddenly, so he didn't have time to see who was in the photo.

From what Conchier knew of Elvis, he wasn't the type to be so narcissistic that he kept a picture of himself in his wallet.

"Isn't it fooling you?" He stood there, muttering to himself, "Elvis really has someone he likes?"

Kang Zhier continued to walk down with such confusion, and after a while, he returned to the garden.

Kang Zhier wandered all the way, walking around the lawn and back to the front of the mansion.It just so happened that Lan'er would come out from the porch with a wooden tray, and when she saw him, she raised her voice and greeted him.

"Master Xiao Zhi, come in quickly, I have prepared tea for you."

As soon as he saw Lan'er, the tangled thoughts in Kang Zhier's mind suddenly became clear as if he had found his own direction.

"...When the young master came back, the old man called again."

"I heard the young master tell the old gentleman that he already has someone he likes, and he will only be with the person he likes."

"Brother-in-law, have you met Sister Kerry recently?"

"Well, it's the first ten days of this month."

"Elvis was there."

Kang Zhier stood still at once.

That's right, with Elvis' character, how could he go on a blind date with a strange girl?How can it be possible to eat with someone who has no feelings for him?For a person like him who has been used to it for ten years, some time ago, he started to go out early and return late every day. He almost ate three meals a day outside. There must be a reason.

It was only after he came back from the east that he told Grandpa Lake that he had someone he liked—and Bojiali lived in the east.

Standing in front of the porch, he recalled again the scene he saw in front of the French windows of the banquet hall, the scene where Elvis and Berkari were talking on the grassy slope.

That's right.

He can now be 90.00% sure that the subject of the photo in Elvis' wallet is none other than Bergari.
