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

Chapter 43

In the afternoon, Lu Li and his departmental colleagues went to Huiling Pharmaceutical Company for fire acceptance inspection. After the acceptance inspection, they exchanged the essential greetings with the pharmaceutical company leaders.

When driving back, Lu Li purposely made a detour to buy a good rock candied glutinous rice lotus root that he and Li Huaiyu found before.

Lu Li stood by the counter and waited. The girls in front of the line were laughing and discussing what to do for Christmas. He looked around and realized that Christmas was coming. All the shops on the street were decorated with bells, Christmas trees and wreath.

Speaking of Christmas, Li Huaiyu's parents stay abroad all year round. Only Christmas and Spring Festival can spare time to come back and reunite with his family. I heard Li Huaiyu mention before that his parents can stay until after the Lantern Festival this year. He was also busy arranging work, and that day he went to the airport to pick him up in person.

Li Huaiyu hoped that this time his parents could meet when they came back, and he would make arrangements. Lu Li immediately said that meeting his elders was the right thing to do.

"Hello, your rock sugar glutinous rice lotus root is ready." The boss called him, and he came back to find that the girl in front had left.

"Okay, I lost my mind all of a sudden, sorry." Lu Li stepped forward to pay.

"It's okay, then you go slowly."

After the weekend, Li Huaiyu went back to eat with the old lady, and Lu Li didn't go back to stay with Lu's mother for a long time, neither of them went back to the house in the city center tonight.The community was already approaching, Lu Li shifted gears and slowed down, turned the corner ahead, and there was a man standing under the dim streetlights in the empty street. When Lu Li's car drove up to the gate of the community, the man stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop the car. , Lu Li had to stop the car and looked at the man.

The light hit her directly, she still had long hair, her originally slender and delicate cheeks became round, and without thick bangs, Lu Li was surprised that after so many years, he could still remember her appearance. .

"Can I talk to you?" She asked, her voice was unexpectedly soft, Lu Li had only heard her crying and hysteria.

Lu Li pondered for a while and nodded, then pulled over and stopped the car.

Lu Li's impression of her was only in her school uniform. When confronting each other in the principal's office, no matter whether she was sitting or standing, she always had her shoulders hunched and her head bowed with some inferiority complex, which made Lu Li think she was petite.

But now she held her head high, wearing a loose shirt sweater and knitted skirt, holding a handmade canvas bag covered with cute badges, and she was a little calm.

The two walked into a coffee shop, Lu Li ordered a cup of hot drink for her, and a cup of hot water for himself.

"Thank you."

From Yuan Song's mouth, Lu Li called her Zhang Xiaoge.

"You're welcome."

"I'm sorry to waste your time." Zhang Xiaoge held the cup and wore a platinum ring on her left ring finger. She was thinking about how to speak, "I've been away for a long time, and I took a few days off to come back to handle the house transfer. It happened to coincide with the centennial celebration of the first high school. I went back to school with the mentality of trying and hoped to meet you, but unfortunately, I will return to province F tomorrow, and I probably won’t return to this city in the future. I am entangled I decided to meet with you in a few days and apologize to you."

"I'm sorry." Zhang Xiaoge let go of the cup in his hand, stood up, bowed down and apologized to Lu Li, her long hair fell down with her movements, just like her bowing her head countless times, the two who had been separated for 13 years finally reunited together. body.

Everyone in the store looked at them curiously, and Lu Li stood up to cover the other people's prying eyes.

"It's over, let's sit down and talk."

Zhang Xiaoge calmed down and sat down, "It's been so many years late, I'm sorry, I've been avoiding this matter and you, putting all the responsibility and resentment on you, causing you to suffer an innocent disaster, without even an apology."

"It's all in the past. I didn't blame you when I promised the school to go to the rooftop." He had already forgotten it.

"I'm sorry." She still bowed her head, Lu Li didn't know how to persuade her, but just let her apologize continuously, maybe it would make her feel better.

The two sat in the coffee shop for a long time, until Lu's mother sent a message asking him where he was, Lu Li had no choice but to suggest that he should go back.

"Sorry to trouble you again." Zhang Xiaoge still apologized to him.

"Where do you live, I'll take you back." Lu Li sighed.

"No, no, I'll be staying in a nearby hotel, within a few steps." She refused in panic.

"It's okay, I'll take you a few steps." Lu Li took a step forward in the direction she pointed, and she had no choice but to follow behind him, chasing his dark shadow, never daring to walk beside him. beside.

"You're really gentle." Lu Li turned to look at her, she stopped in her tracks and looked up into his beautiful eyes, "I wish I hadn't been greedy, jealous, inferior and cowardly, and braver .”

"I'm here." She climbed up the steps of the hotel, holding the canvas bag with both hands, standing upright, her forehead was just at the position of Lu Li's shoulder, slightly arched, smiled and waved to him: "Lu Li ,goodbye."

"Goodbye." Lu Li waved his hand with a relieved smile.

It's been half an hour since Lu's mother sent the message. Lu Li came back to the garage, parked his car, and ran upstairs.

"Mom, I'm back." Lu Li put on his fluffy slippers.

"Why did it take so long? After all the dishes were brought out, they were put back to keep warm. Let's change clothes first."

"I went to buy sticky rice lotus root with rock sugar, and I wasted some time." Lu Li put the box on the table, and went back to his room to change his formal clothes.

He didn't intend to bring up what happened tonight, and there was no need to pick up those fragments that had been diluted by the years.

"Joan, come out for dinner."

"it is good."

On Christmas Eve, the festive atmosphere on the streets is already very strong. On this day, everyone seems to have a reason to get off work earlier, and use this excuse to get together with friends, or have an intimate date with boyfriend and girlfriend, but most people take advantage of this opportunity Just join in the fun.

Lu Li seldom spent these holidays. In the past, accidents were most likely to happen at this time. They had to be on call 24 hours a day or went out on missions, not to mention a group of single people.

This year is different. Lu Li sent a message to Li Huaiyu after get off work. In the evening, he ordered a restaurant to have dinner together. He will not go back in the evening. He told his mother that Lu Li didn't have to hide it. He would spend 3-5 nights with him in a fair week. Live at home in the heart of the city.

When Lu Li arrived, Li Huaiyu was standing on the side of the street, standing out among a group of glamorous white-collar men and women. Lu Li got into the car and slid to his side, and Li Huaiyu got into the car amidst many curious eyes.

Lu Li turned his head and asked, "When will your parents arrive tomorrow?"

Li Huaiyu adjusted his sitting posture, and said leisurely: "Tomorrow at 17:[-], they will land at [-]:[-], and they will leave after attending the institute's Christmas Eve party tonight."

"Then I have to accompany them for a few days."

"Well, Caiyi has to entertain and kiss for a few days."

Lu Li imagined that scene, and laughed unkindly, "Can you watch?"

Li Huaiyu smiled persuasively and said, "Okay, but you don't think about getting together? You are still a half-wit in our relationship."

The restaurant has already arrived, Lu Li found a parking space under the guidance of the driver, turned around and hooked him closer, and kissed him, "Well, in this case, you can consider it."

The lighting in the restaurant is ambiguous, the dining area is full of festive couples, each table is placed with different varieties of roses, the waiter leads the two to a separate private room, the sea blue room has a dome, and the side of the dining table is a huge aquarium on the floor In the pavilion, tropical fish, sharks, jellyfish, rays, etc. swim past the glass wall.

The two of them took off their coats and handed them to the waiter, and then took their seats. Roses were also placed on the dining table in the private room, and a few red roses were inserted in the slender, white glass bottle, dotted with dewdrops made of pearls.

The two ordered the restaurant's main M9 grade Australian beef, lobster cold dish, French caviar, foie gras, Mediterranean sea fish stew, creamy tiger prawns, and Li Huaiyu asked someone to open a bottle of red wine.

"I'll have someone come and drive back at night." Lu Li didn't worry about that, and the waiter poured wine for the two of them and left the room, leaving them alone.

The two clinked glasses, and the red liquid slid down the tongue into the throat. Afterwards, only the sweetness and lingering fragrance remained. The atmosphere caused it. Halfway through the meal, Li Huaiyu changed his mind. This underwater restaurant belongs to a top hotel built by a certain group. Li Huaiyu I started to make private investment when I was in college. After graduation, I joined Chase Bank. A certain group was his investment project. Later, for some reasons, a director who was familiar with him transferred his shares to him and became a shareholder of a certain group.

Coming out of the restaurant, Lu Li was about to leave the restaurant without knowing it, but Li Huaiyu put his arms around his waist calmly and led him in the opposite direction.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Lu Li was led by his strength, and the person in front of him was not affected by the sound behind him.

"I'm not going back tonight." Li Huaiyu whispered close to his ear.

"Huh? Why didn't I know?" Lu Li looked at him with a half-smile.

Li Huaiyu kissed him reassuringly: "Now I know."

This hotel is not the top floor with the highest price, but the bottom floor with only a few rooms. Although the internal system shows that the hotel rooms are fully booked that night, in fact they will not sell all the top rooms, and will leave a few rooms for some Special someone, just in case.

The hotel manager personally delivered the room cards to the two of them. When they entered the room, what they saw was the entire water area, various marine animals, and a simulated ocean system, as if they were really in the sea, and their eyes were full of blue.

The automatic curtains are slowly opened, there are fish swimming on the carpet in the room, the creatures in the water on the floor-to-ceiling windows look at the source of the light inquiringly, the bathtub in front of the window is filled with water, and a starry sky sea salt bath ball is thrown into it , Immediately after the rippling, Lu Li lay in the bathtub hugging Li Huaiyu's shoulders, thinking that this might be the meaning of the holiday.

The next day, when Li Huaiyu entered the office, Xue Tian noticed that her boss was dressed exactly the same as yesterday, even cuff buttons and collar clips. Don't ask her why she knew, she Even the strands of his hair have been studied.For Li Huaiyu who pays attention to appearance, this kind of situation is very rare, and the naked eye can see that he is in a very good mood. It seems that the 'sleep quality' was good last night.
