Himemoto's interpretation

Xingqi has no way of knowing whether Lu Mengning called the police in the end.Xingqi didn't know what she said to the detective afterwards.Anyway, that night Xingqi fed the chickens and prepared to do her homework, the detective called her: "Go and have dinner with her at noon tomorrow."

"Myself?"

"Yes, you alone. I leave it to you."

Xingqi went away apprehensively.

Lu Mengning came out during her lunch break, the time was relatively tight, and the appointment was near her work place.

When Xingqi arrived, Lu Mengning was waiting at the door of the restaurant. She called out to Sister Lu. When the other party turned her head, Xingqi was slightly surprised. It was only a few days since she saw her.

When the other party saw her, he didn't move for a long time.

The waiter led them to their seats, and after a while they brought two menus, Lu Mengning's eyes still circled her from time to time.

Xingqi pretended to be ignorant and flipped through the menu. It was a new concept restaurant with Sichuan cuisine on its signboard, but Cantonese cuisine, local cuisine, and Northeast cuisine were all available.

Lu Mengning drank half a cup of barley tea, and the emotional dam on the verge of bursting barely stabilized on the line, and her voice trembled unavoidably: "Can you eat spicy food?"

"I can do it."

"This restaurant specializes in rattan pepper fish, and the fish-flavored eggplant is also good. How about eating fish? Do you like it?"

Xingqi nodded repeatedly, "I like it."

While turning the page, Lu Mengning pretended to wipe the corner of her eyes unintentionally, "Okay, eat fish."

Surrounded by working parties who had lunch nearby, the next table were four ambitious entrepreneurs who were full of market demand and raised hundreds of millions of dollars in financing.

"This suit...was chosen by your detective for you?"

"Huh?" Xingqi looked down at her attire, puzzled by the client's piercing eyes.

The clothes are indeed a set that the detective picked up from somewhere before going out.

A plaid shirt with dark red background and light stripes is overlaid with a solid-color sweater, with dark blue pants underneath, and only the shoes belong to her.Before going out, the detective couldn't refuse to help her tie up her hair.

She silently recited "I'm not me", so when Lu Mengning looked at her, Xingqi had a faint feeling that this suit brought back some deep memories of the other party.

Lu Mengning didn't focus on her, but just looked at another person through her.

"I've been looking at you that day. You haven't seen the photos, so you won't be fooling around." The dark green teacups alternated between Lu Mengning's hands, and the curling heat dissipated for a while, and she said again, "The detective asked Me, but I don't like to talk about personal things with people."

Lu Mengning didn't say a word, Xingqi didn't want to hold back the embarrassing cold air before eating, she thought that she and sister Lu got along pretty well recently, and was about to bite the bullet and ask "what photo", but the other party opened her mouth first .

"she left."

The three words that were obviously choked up spilled out from between the teeth, and the daytime babble that captured the market of hundreds of millions disappeared suddenly, and the world suddenly became quiet.

Lu Mengning's emotional embankment, which had been suppressed for a long time, collapsed in an instant, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes to her lips. She just realized it, and hurriedly pulled out two pieces of tissue paper, "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

She went out of the restaurant with a small bag and turned left, Xingqi sent a message to the detective under the table: [Sister Lu said 'he's gone', who is he?What is a photo?Is it... that? ]

Detective: [Which one? ]

[That's... that...]

[You want to ask if she is dead? ]

Xingqi shook her hand, and the phone fell onto her lap.

New information pops up, [No. ]

The detective was indeed a detective, and he must have clues that she didn't understand. With just two words, Xingqi settled down.

Lu Mengning and Taoguoyu were seated together.

She put on her make-up, and all the sorrows from before were swept away, and she was a bit cheerful, "What is Qiqi's staple food, noodles or rice?"

"Food is fine."

During the meal, Lu Mengning would send text messages and make phone calls from time to time. Every time she put down her phone, she would say sorry, but every time she just put it down, she immediately picked it up again.

The real interaction is at the beginning and when waiting for the checkout.

"I asked the company for leave in the afternoon. Let's go to the home furnishing city and choose the furniture. You can move there directly when I finish packing the north bedroom tomorrow."

Xingqi was looking for an opportunity to slip away, but she didn't expect the other party to come and make such a sudden appearance. She suddenly had a sixth sense, and the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. ?

"No need, sister Lu, I can do whatever I want, don't delay your work."

Lu Mengning took her arm intimately, "I've finished my work, so I can relax with me in the afternoon, okay?"

Xingqi stiffened her neck, but the other party took it as a default, "I know Qiqi is the best, I'll go to pay, you wait for me."

"I..." Xingqi said with difficulty, "I'll go to the bathroom first."

"Go."

As soon as Xingqi entered the bathroom, she immediately connected to the public WiFi to send a message to the detective: [Sister Lu wants me to accompany her to buy furniture! ]

Detective: [Oh. ]

[Do I have to go! ]

[go. ]

As if a message could not be expressed, the detective sent a voice, "That is our client, your God, serve the customer well, and never say 'no' no matter what the request is."

"..."

Xingqi now believes that the detective is really recruiting assistants instead of helping the poor.

You don't have to have assistants to serve customers!

The phone buzzed and vibrated, and it was a text message: [Don't send me an exclamation point. ]

Xingqi typed a bunch of exclamation points into the input column, and finally deleted them one by one, and wrote in the internship memo: Detectives have two inaccuracies, neither this nor that.

[Do not reply to my message. ]

Xingqi: [Oh. ]

Xingqi: [Then I will go. ]

She waited a while, put away her phone and left.

Lu Mengning drove Xingqi to a large home furnishing market not far from her home. When she entered the elevator in the mall, Xingqi looked at her through the reflective glass.

Her expression is very different from when we first met. A lot of the bloodshot eyes have disappeared, and the dark circles under the eyes have disappeared after applying makeup. She walks vigorously, as if rebuilding the emotional embankment of social people, so that all worries and troubles follow. A few tears flowed away.

In reality, Lu Mengning is more talkative, Xingqi has been obediently listening to her, nodding frequently, never shaking her head.

Having said that, after asking several times for opinions, Lu Mengning is more aware of Xingqi's style preference than she is herself, and she likes all the household items she chooses.

It is more than a hundred times stronger than the "most expensive is the best" detective vision.

Xingqi quietly took a photo and sent it to the detective.

The detective replied in seconds: [Don't come back at night. ]

[......]

Xingqi rubbed her nose embarrassingly, feeling a bit pierce for no reason, spelled out sorry, and twirled her thumb on the send button.

Fortunately, the detective's next message told her to rein in the precipice in time, and there was no reason not to call herself out.

[I have something to go back at night, no one at home will open the door for you. ]

[ah?What about huskies? ]

[Starved the stew. ]

Xingqi had no choice but to reply to her: [/laughed and cried]

I thought to myself: Fortunately, life and work can be separated soon. When looking for a landlord, of course I want to find a gentle and understanding sister like Lu.

After receiving Xingqi's warm gaze, Lu Mengning also smiled, "Qiqi, I'm ready to go home."

Afterwards, Xingqi would think that all this seemed to be a matter of course, but in the final analysis, someone had to dig the canal for water diversion first.

But at that time, she just went with it as she came, and she had neither the thought nor the ability to think too much.

Putting the big and small bags in the living room, Lu Mengning asked in a negotiating tone: "Qiqi is here at night, don't go back?"

Xingqi was worrying about where to stay at night, and Lu Mengning sent a pillow again. She was so grateful that she didn't even ask a polite "Is it convenient?", and nodded like pecking rice.

Lu Mengning was very happy, "It's just right, let's tidy up the north bedroom together tonight, and wait for the master to bring the bed over tomorrow."

Xingqi felt something was wrong, "The bed will be delivered tomorrow?"

Lu Mengning looked sideways slightly, with an inexplicable ambiguity in her eyes, "Well, the delivery time is past today. Qiqi will sleep with me tonight. My bed is quite big."

"Okay."

When Xingqi realized that she shouldn't sleep in someone else's bed casually, it was four o'clock in the morning when the biological clock woke her up.

Lu Mengning's arm rested on her waist, and her hanging fingers tapped on her pajamas one after another. After a few taps, they entered the hem of the pajamas. The air conditioner was turned on to 25 degrees, and the temperature of her fingertips was cold, making it difficult for people to ignore it.

At first, Xingqi thought it was a nervous twitch while she was asleep, but she could clearly hear the oppressive and heavy breath behind her, and occasionally she sniffed her nose twice as if she was not breathing well, and the breath was getting closer and closer to her, and there was a faint sound Wu's tremolo is just beside the ear.

Sister Lu cried again.

Xingqi kept still as naturally as possible, making the other party think that she was still asleep.

However, the right arm under the head was numb bit by bit with the accelerated blood flow when the brain was working.

Xingqi complained endlessly in her heart, but she could only let the itching and numbness of the acupuncture advance in a wavy curve.

Behind him, Lu Mengning was also slowly approaching.

She hugged the waist of the person next to the pillow, and was afraid of waking up the girl who fell asleep after touching the pillow, so she slowly relaxed.

One inch down from the hand, two inches up from the face, she sniffed the familiar smell, not so much a coincidence, but rather a connivance to herself, she approached the ear that exuded a faint fragrance, and her palm was firmly attached to the girl's. belly.

That is--

The temperature and touch of someone who has been missing for too long.

Lu Mengning's palm retreated at the touch of a touch, but it almost crushed Xingqi's physical defense.

She moved, and found that her right hand was completely ineffective, so she used her left hand to find a random support point to get up, kicked on her slippers and ran to the bathroom in a panic, without hearing Lu Mengning's muffled groan of being caught.

The sound of rushing water is especially clear in the silent night.

Crawling back to bed, Xingqi comforted herself that this was at Sister Lu's house, she didn't need to feed the chickens, and she didn't need to get up so early. She took a few short breaths, and then released all her acting skills again, making the illusion of being lethargic. Seeing her, Lu Mengning ignored her.

Until a glimmer of morning light came through the curtains, Xingqi could no longer care about what was going on behind her, and she fell asleep.

The feeling of coming back to the cage is not long, and it is easy to wake up.

Especially when being stared at for a long time, the other party's attention is as real as it is, and it is easy to turn the mind into a buzzing alarm clock.

As soon as Xingqi opened her eyes, Lu Mengning shifted her gaze to the bedside table, where a new photo frame was placed.

"You look a lot like her."

Xingqi followed her to look over, and the photo showed a young girl smiling brighter than the sun.Xingqi seldom looks in the mirror, and she is not as clear about her own appearance as she is about the detective and sister Lu who have been in frequent contact recently.

But she took a second look and realized that "likeness" is also divided into similarity in spirit and similarity in shape.

In the photo, the girl is wearing exactly the same clothes that the detective matched her yesterday.

"She..." Xingqi sat up, touched her forehead, her hands were covered with cold sweat, "Is she alright?"

Lu Mengning narrowed her eyes gloomily, and two faint symmetrical lines appeared on the side of her lips, "Do you want to hear about her?"

Three quarters of an hour later, Xingqi, who was urinating, hid in the bathroom and complained to the detective tearfully.

[big liar! ]

If you think about it wrong, withdraw it and resend it.

[The big liar QAQ agreed? ]

The upper status bar shows: The other party is typing...

Xingqi wrote before the other party: [She died in a car accident. ]

The detective's input state stopped for a while, and then started to move.

Xingqi waited patiently for 1 minute.

[There will be a knock on the door in a while, before you open the door, I will ask you, sister Lu, why there is a production date on the package, and you have to insist on looking at the shopping receipt. ]

Xingqi had just opened the door of the bathroom when there was a knock on the anti-theft door unexpectedly.

Lu Mengning put down the tissue and said to himself, "It's so early, so it's probably an assembler?"
