It turns out that the person I love has always been there

Chapter 23

In the morning, Qian Qian and the others were still sleeping, but Lu Li had the same routine as before, got up early, washed up and had breakfast.The air in the countryside is good in the morning, and there are already people working in the farmland. The big yellow dogs in the village are running around on the ridges of the fields. Lu Li relaxes his muscles and walks and jogs along the road beside the farmland. The dogs here are not afraid of people. Probably curious about him and surrounded him back and forth.

Stopping and walking, several dogs chased and frolicked around him. When he stood still, several dogs also squatted and wagged their tails and looked up at him. Head, played with them for a while.There is a pond planted with lotus beside the field. Almost all the things that can be reached around the pond have been picked. For children, only one person holding another person's hand can reach some lotus and lotus pods in the distance.

Three or five children by the pond held hands with each other, and adjusted their posture with each other, hoping to stretch their bodies far enough.

I'm probably used to the resort nearby, so there are always some strangers, and the child pretends not to see him, and changes his posture in full swing.

Lu Li looked at them for a while, worried that they might fall into the pond, so he went up to pick them for them.

Adults are tall, have long legs and long hands, so picking them is always easier than children. "Are these enough?" Lu Li picked five or six lotus pods and distributed them among them.

"Not enough, I need to pick some more, where can I pick?" The children took the lotus pods he handed over and put them together with the ones they picked, pointing to several other directions.

Lu Li picked some more according to the direction they pointed.The sun was rising day by day. He picked a lotus leaf for each child and put it on his head. He looked at the time and stayed with them for a while.

With the efforts of many people, unless they went down to the pond, they couldn't touch a root in various postures, so the children thought of giving up.

"Aren't you going back?"

"It's still early if we don't go back."

"There are still fish to catch in the pond."

Lu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the children pulling out long-handled fishing nets from the bushes. They seemed to be very excited, and they probably wouldn't go back until lunch time after playing.

But he had to go back, so he had to tell the older children, "I'm leaving, be careful yourself,

Don't get too close, go back early, and call the people nearby to help if you have something to do. "

"understood."

"Thank you"

"Bye-Bye"

"These lotus pods are for you."

"Wow, I saw there, there are fish under the lotus leaf, you can fish there."

"No, run away, switch sides, I'll come."

Lu Li took the thank you gift and walked back slowly. Qian Qian got up earlier than Qian Jinhe. After breakfast, he wandered around the villa. He met a few girls who played together last night and got acquainted with each other. Chatting, I know that they came to play in the city. They played in the city for a few days, and then signed up for a two-day tour group to play here, and they are going back today.

When Qian Qian saw Lu Li coming back, he said goodbye to them.

"I didn't see you so early in the morning, where did you go shopping, huh? Lotus pods, where did you go to pick them?"

"On the side of the road ahead, it was given by some children."

"Try it?" Lu Li gave him some lotus pods, and the two big men peeled the lotus pods and ate them on the bench.

"It's pretty sweet."

"Qian Jinhe and the others haven't gotten up yet?"

Qian Qian glanced at the time, "It's only 9 o'clock now, I should be up, I'm probably putting on makeup, let me ask."

Qian Qian sent a message to Qian Jinhe, and sure enough, the two just got up, they were washing and putting on makeup, they didn't plan to eat breakfast, they packed up and left.

"They estimated that it would take more than an hour. They set off around 10:[-]. They just went back to have lunch and catch up on sleep. They drank so much wine last night and didn't sleep well. They were not used to sleeping on the pillows of the hotel, and there were mosquitoes on the mountain. It’s a big, poisonous bag that was bitten on the leg by a mosquito last night.”

"I slept well, the mountain is quiet."

"Huh? You were also bitten on the neck, and it was a little red."

Lu Li touched it, and felt itchy, probably because he was bitten by a mosquito after staying outside for a long time last night.

The two sat and chatted nonsense for more than an hour, and the two came down, and they went to the front desk to check out the room, and drove back to the city.

Lu Li sent Qian Qian back first, An Qi left before Lu Li, Qian Qian asked Lu Li to stay for dinner, but Lu Li refused after thinking about it.

Lu's mother and Qiao An were both at school. Lu Li went home and took a shower and washed the dirty clothes. After that, he opened the refrigerator and cooked a simple lunch for one person with the ingredients he had.

There was a knock on the door of Du Heng's office. The magazine she had previously interviewed financial figures had come out, and the assistant put the magazine she had just received on her desk.

Du Heng picked up the magazine and flipped through it. After a while, she picked up the mobile phone and dialed a number. After that, she told the assistant about her work and went out.

Mingtang Law Firm is located in the office building area of ​​Yunshang Business District in S City. Du Heng has been here several times because of work, and the girl intern at the front desk also knows her. into the boss's office.

"Mr. Qi, excuse me." Du Heng stood a step away from his desk.

Qi Ming put down the case in his hand and got up and led her to sit on the sofa chair in the inner room: "You are here, sit down."

"I'm here to bring you the magazine I interviewed before." Du Heng handed the magazine to him.

Qi Ming handed him a cup of brewed tea, took the magazine in her hand and flipped through it. The manuscript was written by Du Heng, and the whole article was clear and well-written.

He joked: "I'd like to trouble you to make a special trip. If you don't send it, I plan to buy a few more copies when it is released, so as to increase sales for myself haha."

"You are joking, our marketing department is very optimistic about the sales of this issue."

"Our President Wang said that next time we will definitely treat you and Mr. Song to dinner."

"Your President Wang is being polite. Anyway, this is a mutually beneficial cooperation."

"Anyway, if there is a chance, we can have dinner together."

"Okay, next time I have a chance."

"I took the liberty of coming here to delay your time, so I won't disturb you." Du Heng got up and picked up his handbag to say goodbye to him.

"It's okay, it's a coincidence that Song Tang just went out today."

"I greeted Mr. Song before coming here."

Qi Ming pressed the elevator floor for her and sent her into the elevator before turning around and entering the company.

When Lu Li woke up, he found that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. After lunch, he went to the study to read a book for a while, and then went back to his room for a lunch break when he felt sleepy, but he fell asleep so late.At noon, Li Huaiyu specially sent him a message. Last night, he agreed to come back today to deliver something to him. The appointment was after get off work. If he got up now and was ready to go out, he would arrive at his company in about the same time.

Lu Li threw off the quilt, jumped out of bed, poured a glass of water to moisten his throat, changed into his pajamas, and after seeing that everything was done, he took the car keys from the storage box at the entrance and went out, sending a message to Li Huaiyu by the way. News about going out.

Mingtang Law Firm is not far from Li Huaiyu's office building, but it is in the opposite direction to Du Heng's back. Du Heng sat in the car and held the steering wheel with a calm face, as if in a trance. It took about a quarter of an hour for her to make up her mind and drive out. Garage, go the opposite way to go back.

After Li Huaiyu finished the video conference, she picked up her phone and saw Lu Li's news, so she did some finishing work so that she could leave work at any time.

When Du Heng's call came, Li Huaiyu picked up the phone and hesitated on the button for a while, and then picked it up after a while, so he wouldn't be stingy with this little entertainment.

Du Heng listened nervously to the ringtone on the phone until someone picked it up. She still remembered his voice after so many years. It was a little clearer when he was a teenager, but now it is much lower, but it still makes people's hearts sway as before.

"Hello."

"Hey, it's me, Du Heng. I happened to be going to Mr. Song's law firm today and passed by your company." Du Heng paused and said, "I'm downstairs in your company. Is it convenient to meet up?"

The other side of the phone didn't answer immediately, and she seemed to be able to clearly hear the somewhat disordered beating of her chest.

"Okay, there's a coffee shop downstairs, let's meet there, I'm going down now."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Du Heng took the mobile phone from his ear with some powerlessness, and then stepped on the gas pedal happily, as if going on a date.

Du Heng parked the car and found a place to sit down. She didn't know Li Huaiyu's taste, so she didn't take the liberty to order drinks for them.

Li Huaiyu put down his mobile phone and left the office. Xue Tian got up and said hello to him. Knowing that the boss was leaving get off work first, he respectfully sent him out, and sent tomorrow's itinerary to his mobile phone.

Because it was approaching the rush hour, the elevator was a bit slow, Li Huaiyu watched the slowly decreasing numbers and the increasing number of people.He turned sideways to avoid bumping into the others.

With a sound of "ding", the elevator reached the first floor, and everyone rushed out.

Du Heng chose an outdoor table and chairs, and the street lights on the street were already on, so Li Huaiyu could easily see her at a glance.When he stepped forward, Du Heng looked up at him as if feeling something.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Li Huaiyu opened the seat opposite, and the waiter stepped forward and handed the menu to the two of them.

"Not long, do you want something to drink? I don't know what you want to drink, so I didn't order." Du Heng handed him the menu.

"A cup of Americano, please."

"Mocha, thank you."

"Come here today, is it still the job you interviewed before?"

"Yes, the previous interview work has ended, and today I will send a sample of the magazine."

After so many years, the two actually have nothing more to say. Even if they were classmates for so many years, Du Heng just watched him silently, and had some intersections with him through class affairs.

"It's a pity that Mr. Song is not here today. I only saw another Mr. Qi Ming. Mr. Song mentioned that you work nearby, so I came to have a look."

"Brother is on a business trip to Lin City."

"I heard that I went to Lin City to collect evidence for the case."

"Ah."

The atmosphere between the two was a bit cold, but fortunately, the waiter handed two drinks to the two at this time.

It was already off-duty time, and some employees in the office building got off work one after another. Groups of three or five people made appointments where to meet for dinner and drink at night.

Xue Tian made an appointment with his best friend to eat at the newly opened restaurant tonight, and then went to the bar to relax.She walked out of the office building to the opposite driveway to take a taxi.

It is difficult to get a taxi in the city center during the rush hour. She follows the passing vehicles with her eyes so that she can get in the car at any time.

As a result, I didn't expect to see the boss who had already left dating a girl in a nearby coffee shop.

The two were facing her sideways, and they were not far from Xue Tian, ​​so she could clearly see the girl's appearance, a pretty girl she had never seen before.

Xue Tian remembered that the two of them were on a business trip before, and the women's products that Li Huaiyu bought might have been given to this girl. After all, she rarely saw her boss and women in private appointments during working hours and in the area.

Finally there was an empty car, Xue Tian hurriedly reached out to stop it and got into the car. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and he was excited to think that this is the gossip that touched the core of the boss?

"We met in a hurry before, do you have time tonight, can we have a meal together?"

"Sorry, I have an appointment tonight."

"Next time I invite you."

Du Heng was a little disappointed, but he could only pretend to be regretful and smiled: "Is that so, then we can only look for another chance next time?"

During rush hours, the roads were congested, and the office area where Li Huaiyu was located was not easy to park, so he parked his car nearby and planned to walk over.After getting out of the car, cross the traffic light and zebra crossing to go downstairs to the office building.Lu Li sent a message asking if he was done with his work, if not he would wait for him downstairs.

When the phone rang, Li Huaiyu picked it up apologetically. Du Heng smiled and signaled to him to deal with the matter first, then picked up the cup and took a sip of the somewhat too sweet Mocha coffee, but his eyes did not leave him, waiting to get up and say goodbye to him, at least See him next time.

Li Huaiyu glanced at Lu Li's message, replied to him soon, and asked where he was.

Lu Li had already walked downstairs, there were many people coming and going at the exit, the only convenient place to wait was the coffee shop next to him.

"I'm already here. I'll wait for you at the nearby coffee shop." Lu Li put away his phone and walked to the coffee shop. Before he could find a place, he saw Li Huaiyu and the two of them.

Li Huaiyu saw the latest message he sent, and when he looked up, he saw that someone was by his side.

Li Huaiyu looked at him, smiled and waved to him.

Lu Li didn't want to go forward at first, he was worried that the two of them were talking about something, but seeing that Li Huaiyu didn't mind, he stepped forward in good faith.
