lake garden moon

Kang Zhier decided to leave Lake Garden, and immediately put it into action.

He turned on the airline steward, ready to book the earliest flight back to the central part.Unfortunately, all the flights to central China were fully loaded that day, and the fastest flight would wait until five o'clock in the morning of the next day.

It was going to rain soon outside, and the air was getting stuffy.Kang Zhier sat indoors, feeling faintly irritable.But then he thought again, maybe this is a better arrangement.

If he left the lake garden now, the servants at home would definitely notice him, and Elvis would know the news soon.With Elvis' character, he would not make any moves to try to keep him.But he only finished talking with Kang Zhier at noon, and Kang Zhier chose to leave in the afternoon. This purpose was too obvious.

If he took the morning flight tomorrow, he could choose to leave in the early morning when everyone was still sleeping, so as to avoid meeting Bandari or Elvis.By the time they woke up, he'd already landed, and texted Bandari to let him know, "escape" would have been much easier.

After careful consideration, Kang Zhier resolutely bought the plane ticket for the next day, then took the suitcase out of the cabinet and started packing.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun behind the rain clouds disappeared, and the sky darkened.After finishing packing, Kang Zhier sat down on the long chair facing the terrace, quietly welcoming the first heavy rain since the beginning of summer in the south.

During dinner, it was windy and windy outside.The rain fell on the garden as if to melt away the darkness of the summer night.

Near the evening, Kang Zhier heard Bandari talking to Suta downstairs, saying that Elvis would not come back for dinner at night.

Su Ta was obviously taken aback when he heard the news.

"Is there something important?" She looked at the rain outside and asked with some concern, "The observatory said that the rain will continue until midnight."

Hearing this, Kang Zhier then turned his face to the outside of the window and saw the arc of lightning in the sky in the distance, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.

He went back to the bedroom and sat on the sofa listening to the rain outside.Finally, he decided to give Elvis a call.

However, after opening the phone's address book, Kang Zhier remembered that he didn't even have Elvis' contact information.

So he got up from the sofa, ran downstairs and asked Lan Er to get Elvis' cell phone number, and then returned to his bedroom.

Kang Zhier returned to the bedroom, sat down in the original position, stayed quietly for a few more minutes, and dialed Elvis' cell phone number.

At this time, the rain outside became a little lighter, and the thunder gradually eased.Kang Zhier held the phone, maybe he was worried that the sound of the rain in the garden would distract him and miss the moment when Elvis answered the phone, he felt a little nervous in his heart.

However, it was not long before the call was made.While waiting for the call to be connected, another thought suddenly came to his mind—that is, would Elvis think this was an unfamiliar number?Then hang it up directly?

If the phone got hung up, how many times would he call back before Elvis picked up the call?

His mind was quickly distracted.Just when he lowered his head to think about this question, the other end of the phone was connected.

Elvis' voice entered his ears through the phone.

"Hey."

Hearing Elvis' voice, Kang Zhier was startled for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, holding the phone and saying, "Elvis, I'm Kang Zhier."

"Ok, I know."

Elvis' answer on the phone sounded a little more patient than it actually was.He asked Kang Zhier: "What's the matter?"

Kang Zhier hesitated for a moment, then asked him in a low voice, "Are you going to eat out tonight?"

Elvis didn't seem to have thought of the reason for his call, he seemed a little quiet after listening, and replied after a while: "Yes."

There is a long distance between the thunder in the distance and Kang Zhier, and the rain is constantly passing by, washing the floor-to-ceiling glass outside.

The slight amount of guilt in Kang Zhier's heart melted silently with the smell of rainwater wafting in from outside.

"Elvis, you should come back for dinner tonight." He said while holding the phone.

"it's raining outside."

During dinner, Bandari came over and asked Elvis and Kang Zhier what they wanted to eat tomorrow.

Elvis stopped and told Bandari what he wanted to eat.

After Bandari finished asking Elvis, he turned his gaze to Kang Zhier, and asked him kindly: "Xiao Zhi, what about you?"

Because of the "escape" plan, the favorite part of reporting the menu in the past has become a moral burden.Kang Zhier was extremely guilty, his voice was slightly lowered, and he answered Bandari vaguely: "I haven't thought of it yet."

Bandari's eyes were generous, and he smiled slightly after listening to his answer, and said to him in a good temper: "If you think of it at night, please tell me."

"Yeah." Kang Zhier looked at him and nodded.

"The pumpkin pudding made by the chef the day before yesterday, you said it was delicious," Bandari continued, "Can the chef prepare it for you for lunch tomorrow?"

When Bandari watched him speak, he always had a smile on his face, which intensified Kang Zhier's inner apology.

When he woke up tomorrow morning, if Bandari found that he had gone home, how would he feel?

He couldn't help being sad, and his voice became thin and soft.

"Thank you, Bandari."

Hearing this, Bandari raised his eyebrows and smiled, and nodded slightly to him: "You're welcome."

As soon as their conversation was over, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window, and the dark night instantly brightened like day.

A burst of thunder with terrifying special effects echoed over the tall mansion.

The restaurant immediately fell silent.

After the thunder passed, Bandari looked at the rainy night outside and said slowly: "This rain is estimated to last for a long time."

After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes back, looked at Elvis, and said in a cheerful tone: "Elvis, fortunately, you decided to come back temporarily. Otherwise, if you stay outside in this weather, I will be worried."

As soon as Bandari said this, Kang Zhier subconsciously looked at Elvis.Elvis also suddenly looked at him.When the eyes of the two collided, Kang Zhier immediately became embarrassed, and awkwardly lowered his head to pretend to eat.

After dinner, Kang Zhier returned to the bedroom.Before going upstairs, he stood on the main staircase, looking around the inside of the mansion reluctantly, trying to remember everything he saw in his mind.

After this time, he may never have the chance to return to Lake Garden.

Kang Zhier went back to the bedroom to take a shower, sat down in front of the desk after coming out, and continued to complete the study tasks of the day.At exactly eleven o'clock in the evening, he finished his studies and put away the last part of the study tools on the desk and put them in the suitcase.

After everything was settled, Kang Zhier went to bed.In order to allow enough preparation time for himself, Kang Zhier ordered an online car-hailing service in the early morning in the afternoon.

After confirming all the matters, Kang Zhier set the alarm clock and lay down peacefully on the bed.

After turning off the lights, Kang Zhier did not fall asleep immediately.

He opened his eyes, looked at the garden in the rain in the dim light, heard the sound of raindrops falling off the leaves, and suddenly became calm.

By tomorrow, he thought, everything will be back on track.

The moment he closed his eyes, Kang Zhier's ears suddenly rang, the last answer Elvis gave him on the phone.

At 02:30 in the morning, Kang Zhiertiao's alarm clock rang on time, and he struggled to get out of bed.

He didn't sleep well that night, turning over every few minutes, and it was always difficult to find the exact time to fall asleep.The dream is like the rain outside, continuous and bizarre.

Strangely, it was windy and rainy in his dream, and he was woken up once by the thunder in his dream.The giant screen glass between dreams and reality is fragile, and it was shattered by the strong wind.

After Kang Zhier woke up, he reached out to press the light switch by the bedside, but there was no light.

He froze for two seconds in the dark, and then realized that there might have been thunder and lightning in the middle of the night, and the switch in the mansion had tripped.

With limited time, Kang Zhier could only get out of bed in the dark, and went to the bathroom to wash up with his mobile phone.

Twenty minutes later, Kang Zhier was ready, and tiptoed out of the bedroom with his suitcase.

The corridors and stairs of the mansion are equipped with sensor lights. Kang Zhier was still worried that the lights that would automatically turn on in the middle of the night would make the servants in the mansion notice his movements.

Now it's tripped, and the dark and dull environment has helped Kang Zhier invisibly.

Carrying a heavy suitcase, Kang Zhier walked lightly to the side stairs on the third floor.

It's the closest to the back door.

When going down the stairs, he began to regret in his heart that he had put so many books and CDs in the suitcase when he came.

Kang Zhier took every step very carefully - the steps of the stairs became slippery for some reason, and with the bad light, he couldn't see the situation under his feet at all.

Before he was halfway there, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Even though the mute has been turned on, the continuous vibration is full of presence in the huge silent space.

Kang Zhier's heart was beating continuously, he stopped on the stairs, took out his mobile phone from his carry-on bag, and found that the call was from the driver of an online car-hailing car.

He picked up the phone, and the online car-hailing driver informed him that he had arrived at the back gate of the garden, and reminded him that he had better go out quickly, because the rain was likely to become heavier.

"Okay okay."

Kang Zhier repeatedly agreed, hung up the phone, picked up the suitcase and hurried down.

He didn't want to miss his early flight, because then all his preparations would be wasted.The call from the driver made him anxious, and his steps were not so steady.When he reached the middle of the stairs, there was a sudden "crack" under his feet, and there was a sound like a twig being trampled.

Kang Zhier didn't notice it for a while, his foot slipped, and he subconsciously stepped out with the other foot to stabilize the center of gravity, but he didn't expect that his ankle got caught in a terrible "snake-shaped" bondage.His body was out of control, he lost his center of gravity, and before he could even make a sound, he rolled down the stairs.

Kang Zhier felt like he had a heavy dream.When he woke up, it was already dawn outside.

He was lying on the hospital bed, his whole body was in severe pain, and even when he was breathing, his sternum was in throbbing pain, which caused a dry moan in his throat.

Then Bandari's face came into his field of vision.

"Xiaozhi, you're awake."

He put his palm on Kang Zhier's head, pressed his palm against his forehead, and asked him softly, "How do you feel now?"

Kang Zhier's lips fluttered, and he only made a short breath: "It hurts..."

"The anesthetic for the wound is over." Bandari looked at him with concern and nodded, "It does hurt now."

He breathed slowly, calming down the pain from the wound, and then asked Bandari: "What's wrong with me?"

"A big tree fell in the garden last night," Bandari told him as he sat beside him. "The canopy fell through two windows by the stairs when it fell."

"You tripped over a long branch on the stair steps, fell down the stairs, and passed out inside the broken glass."

"shattered glass……"

Kang Zhier finally found the reason why his hands were so painful and numb - the moment he fell from the stairs to the flat ground, his hands were directly pressed into the glass slag.

Kang Zhier chatted with Bandari for a while, feeling heavy eyelids and wanting to sleep again.

Bandari settled him down, got up and walked out of the ward.

Kang Zhier soon fell asleep.

When he was deeply sleepy, he seemed to hear the sound of the door opening in a trance.

Later, he felt someone sitting by the bed, his hand was gently wrapped through the gauze, and one hand was placed on top of his head, and a peaceful and warm breath came from his forehead.

This soothing gesture gave Kang Zhier a familiar feeling.

In the dark, when he was waiting for help, he was not alone by his side.At that time, there were also people who accompanied him like this, hugged him gently, and then put their face on his cheek, whispering something in his ear.
