Lin Shen sees the deer again

At noon on Monday, Yao Lu lay down at his desk to rest in the morning.

After being busy for a whole week, he was physically exhausted and depressed, and he would lie on the table, not wanting to move.

At this time, Yao Lu's mobile phone on the table vibrated, and he picked it up to take a look:

Lin Shen: [Lu Lu, are you back from a business trip?have you eaten yet? 】

Yao Lu poked his chin on the table, stretched out his mobile phone with both hands, and replied with difficulty: [I'm back, I just ate, I'm a little tired, I don't want to talk, I want to sleep. 】

Lin Shen's text message was quickly replied.

Lin Shen: [Okay, then I won't disturb you, I have work to do in the afternoon, go to sleep, be good! 】

Yao Lu looked at the text message, smiled softly, put down the phone, and continued to take a nap.

When he got home at night, after eating and taking a bath, he received a text message from Lin Shen requesting a video.

Yao Lu had no choice but to turn on his laptop and log in to QQ. Soon, Lin Shen's video application was sent.

Seeing Yao Lu appear on the screen, Lin Shen immediately smiled happily: "Lu Lu! I haven't contacted you much for a week, I miss you so much!"

Yao Lu gave a soft "hmm".

Lin Shen leaned closer to the screen, looked at it carefully for a while, and asked, "Lu Lu, you don't seem to be in a good complexion, and you don't seem to be in a good spirit. Is there something wrong?"

Yao Lu whispered: "No! Can you see so clearly through the screen?"

"Of course!" Lin Shen said, "No matter what is the distance, as long as you are unhappy, I can tell at a glance."

Yao Lu was a little guilty, staring at the keyboard, whispered: "Really not."

"Lulu, Lulu, look at me." Lin Shen said.

Yao Lu could only look up at Lin Shen.

"Lulu, do you still remember the past?" Lin Shen said softly, "At that time, you would tell me what you were unhappy about, and then I would comfort you and help you solve it. Did I never let you down? Pass?"

Yao Lu nodded.

"Now, if you have any troubles or unhappy things, you can also tell me." Lin Shen continued: "A few days ago, didn't I often tell you about the unhappiness at work? After telling you, I The mood will be much better, so you can also tell me your troubles, okay?"

Looking at Lin Shen's face, Yao Lu suddenly had the urge to find someone to rely on, so he rubbed his face with both hands, and whispered, "My dad had a stroke last week, and he's still in the hospital now."

"What?" Lin Shen was taken aback and asked, "When did it happen last week? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night last Saturday." Yao Lu said, "I didn't know until my mother called me on Sunday..."

Looking at Yao Lu's expression, and recalling the communication with Yao Lu last week, Lin Shen frowned and asked, "Lu Lu, you...you came back last week, didn't you?"

Yao Lu didn't expect Lin Shen to guess it all at once. After a moment of froze, he nodded lightly and said, "Well, I went back on Sunday..."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lin Shen asked in a deep voice.

"I, I," Yao Lu stammered, "I think there will be a lot of things to do when I go back, and I don't know what's going on with my dad. I'm afraid to tell you, you..."

"Are you afraid to tell me that I will come to you without knowing why? To pester you?" Lin Shen interrupted coldly.

Yao Lu immediately defended: "No, no! I didn't think about it that way! I just, I just feel that I can't help you if I tell you, and I probably won't be back for a few days."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin Shen, saw that he was still staring at him expressionlessly, and said pitifully, "I'm sorry, I didn't intend to hide it from you..."

Yao Lu's "I'm sorry" instantly dissipated Lin Shen's anger, and he said softly, "Okay, I don't blame you."

"You, are you not angry?" Yao Lu asked.

"I'm not angry." Lin Shen said, "I just think you don't trust me, and I'm just annoyed by this!"

"I didn't..." Yao Lu wanted to explain a few more words, but Lin Shen interrupted him: "Okay, Lu Lu, needless to say, I'm really not angry with you, no matter what your reason is, I'm not angry with you." Get angry, okay?"

"Okay..." Yao Lu nodded.

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about your father." Lin Shen changed the subject and asked, "What are you going to do with your father? Do you need someone to take care of you after you leave the hospital? Is your mother busy enough to do it alone?" ?”

"There is a nurse." Yao Lu said, "I asked him before if he would like to continue helping at home when my dad is discharged from the hospital, and he agreed."

"What about the money? Is the money enough?" Lin Shen asked, "Isn't this kind of full-time caregiver cheap?"

"My father and mother still have more than 10 savings, which should be enough." Yao Lu said, "If it is not enough, I can help them out. My current income is not bad."

Lin Shen smiled and said, "Your income is not bad, so you can't afford a house in Hangzhou?"

Yao Lu said embarrassingly: "The housing price here is too expensive! Besides, I don't want to buy a house here either."

"Oh?" Lin Shen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Haven't you thought about settling down in Hangzhou?"

"I didn't think so far." Yao Lu whispered.

Lin Shen asked again: "Have you thought about coming back?"

"Hmm... I haven't thought about it either." Yao Lu shook his head.

Lin Shen: "..."

"I'm a little sleepy." Yao Lu said, "I want to sleep, I'm too tired these days."

"Oh." Lin Shen nodded and said, "Then go to sleep quickly, and stop talking."

Yao Lu looked at Lin Shen and said softly, "Then I'm dead?"

"Hang up, Lulu, good night!" Lin Shen said softly.

After hanging up the video, Yao Lu climbed onto the bed tiredly, and fell asleep after a while.

Another half month later, Yao's father was discharged from the hospital.

Yao Lu and Yao's mother learned over the phone that Yao's father is still slurring his speech, but it is much better than when he just woke up. If he walks, he must be supported by someone, otherwise he will fall.

He asked Yao's mother to buy a wheelchair from a medical equipment store near the hospital so that Yao's father could move around at home.

Yao Lu's family lived on the third floor, and the doctor asked Yao's father to walk downstairs every day to facilitate faster recovery. Yao's mother and the nurse had to help Yao's father go downstairs. He helped upstairs.

After another month or so, Father Yao's body has recovered a lot. With the support of one person and a cane, he can go downstairs for a walk, but his speech is still slurred.

Yao's mother felt that the cost of hiring a nurse was too expensive. When she saw that she could barely take care of her by herself, she dismissed the nurse.

After Yao Lu knew about this, he was very angry and argued with Yao's mother for a long time, but Yao's mother still insisted on her own opinion, thinking that she could handle it alone.

During these days, the relationship between Yao Lu and Lin Shen also made no progress.

Ever since Lin Shen found out that Yao Lu's father was ill, there was no video to tease him again.

For one thing, Yao Lu's father just fell ill, and he always felt it was unethical to tease Yao Lu like this or that.

Secondly, Lin Shen felt that every time the two of them made videos, the atmosphere was not good enough. Yao Lu was always worried and listless when talking.

In this way, the two of them would send text messages, make phone calls, and video every few days, and the relationship stagnated at the level of non-friends and non-lover.

After the nurse left, when Yao Lu called Yao's mother, she could often feel her powerlessness.

Several times, while talking, Yao's father was making a scene, and Yao's mother had to hang up the phone in a hurry. There were even two times when Yao Lu heard the sound of breaking things.

Seeing his mother working so hard, and thinking that he was wandering in Hangzhou, and couldn't even get a down payment for a house, and then thinking that he and Lin Shen lived in such a different place, and it would not be a problem to contact only by phone, text message and video, so he moved The idea of ​​resigning and returning home.

Yao Lu's labor contract expires on July 7th. The company has already drafted a new contract and sent it to him. After letting him think it through, he signed it in early July. Now he is hesitant, wondering if he should resign go home.

The economic environment in my hometown is far inferior to that of Hangzhou. Although accounting is a profession that is required by every unit, each unit generally does not change accountants frequently. If he returns to his hometown, he may not be able to find a suitable job for a while.

But if he doesn't resign, the contract will last for five years. If both parties breach the contract during this period, each party will have to pay the other party a considerable amount of money.

Yao Lu thought to himself, once he signed the contract, he would stay here for another five years. He neither wanted to marry a wife nor have children, let alone find a man. So what was the point of him wandering in Hangzhou alone?

Just when he was hesitating, a call from the landlord Brother Liu on a certain Sunday afternoon finally made him make up his mind!

"Hello? Xiao Yao?" the landlord said on the other end of the phone.

Yao Lu: "Brother Liu, hello! What can I do for you?"

Landlord: "It's like this. I'm going to sell this house, and I've already registered it with an intermediary. Recently, the intermediary will bring someone to see the house. You go to work during the day and there is no one at home. They can't inspect the house and ask you to come back. I will take the spare key. I gave it to an intermediary, and those who have seen the house can directly open the door and enter the house, and I will tell you in advance."

Yao Lu: "!!!"

"Brother Liu, isn't this bad?" Yao Lu was very dissatisfied, and he couldn't get angry, so he had to discuss: "Can't you come to see it on the weekend? Or come at night, after I get off work."

"Hey, Xiao Yao, it's not as simple as you said!" the landlord complained, "I can only come to see the house when I'm free, and I can't force him! You don't have any valuables in your room, right? You just need to put them away. Is it right? My house is also in a hurry to sell, my son is going to open a shop, and is waiting for the money! Of course, I can come to see the house at any time, and it will sell faster!"

"Then you have to consider the tenant's opinion, right?" Yao Lu argued with reason: "I pay the rent on time, and now the right to use this house belongs to me. Come in if you're not there, there's no such thing as this!"

Hearing what Yao Lu said, the landlord was not happy anymore.

He said arrogantly: "Then what should we do? Everyone is like this! I'm not alone! Why are you the only one who has so many things to do? If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have rented you!"

"Brother Liu!" Yao Lu said angrily, "How can you say that? You obviously did something wrong."

"Why am I wrong?" The landlord raised his voice and said loudly: "Okay, okay, I won't tell you so much, isn't your due date on the 20th of next month? Then you can move out, I I won’t rent it to you anymore, it’s really embarrassing!”

After all, the landlord hung up the phone angrily.

Yao Lu was even more angry. This was the third time after graduation that he was forced to move because of the landlord.

He once again realized how inconvenient and irritated it is to be wandering in a different place, without a house of his own, and to be dependent on others!

One phone call from the landlord and you will move out!Or bring people to see the house every three days!When the house was rented to you, I asked a lot, and when I returned the lease, I started to find fault.

There should be quite a few good landlords. He can't overturn a boatload of people with one shot. It may be that he is unlucky and has never met a good landlord.

The continuous moving has really exhausted Yao Lu physically and mentally, and it has completely cut off his desire to continue wandering in Hangzhou.

Yao Lu made up his mind and quickly put it into action.

He first submitted a resignation report to the company, and then agreed with the landlord on a check-out time.

The company did not embarrass him, they all knew that his father had a stroke and needed care at home.Director Wang just lamented the disadvantages of the one-child policy after many years, and then felt sorry for Yao Lu, who had to go back to a third-tier town to find a job with a graduation certificate from Z University.

Soon, the company approved Yao Lu's resignation application, and the two parties agreed that he could resign early after he handed over the job, and there was no need to wait until July 7th.

In the end, Yao Lu finally finished his work on the 9th, booked a flight ticket for the evening of the 10th, and waited until the morning of the 10th to settle all expenses with the landlord before picking up his bag and leaving.

The big luggage had already been packed and sent home by Yao Lu, so he only needed to carry a trolley case and a travel bag to leave.

On the morning of the 10th, the landlord Brother Liu came to talk to Yao Lu.

As Yao Lu expected, the landlord managed to withhold a part of Yao Lu's deposit after making a fuss about it, and Yao Lu didn't bother to argue with him. To be precise, he was incapable of haggling with the landlord!

After handing over, Yao Lu pulled the suitcase and carried the travel bag, got on the airport bus, and went to the waiting hall.

It was still early, and the boarding pass exchange counter was not yet open. He sat in the Starbucks in the terminal, ordered a glass of Americano, took out his laptop, connected to the Starbucks network, and started browsing the web to pass the time.

Yao Lu was thinking while watching the news.

Recently, his contact with Lin Shen has not been as frequent as before.

After submitting his resignation report, he has been busy handing over work, packing luggage, and checking in luggage. During this period, he only occasionally sent text messages and made a few phone calls with Lin Shen, and he didn't even turn on the video.

Lin Shen still doesn't know that he has resigned and returned to his hometown...

Yao Lu thought of this, took out his mobile phone, and sent Lin Shen a text message: [What are you doing? 】

Soon, Lin Shen's text message came back.

Lin Shen: [Lu Lu, why did you take the initiative to send me a message today?I am really happy!I'm in my office!What's up? 】

Yao Lu: 【Can you surf the Internet?I want to make a video with you. 】

After receiving this text message from Yao Lu, Lin Shen was startled for a moment, and then thought, this is the first time Yao Lu took the initiative to ask for a video with him, and it was in broad daylight, so there must be something wrong, right?

His heart trembled, and he immediately recalled that Yao Lu was in the video, and told him solemnly: "Lin Shen, I have a girlfriend now, please don't contact me in the future!"

Thinking of this terrifying scene, Lin Shen felt his throat tighten.

He swallowed, and replied to Yao Lu's text message: [Lu Lu, do you have anything to say to me?Why do you need a video? 】

Yao Lu: [Well, there is something I want to tell you, and I want to tell you face to face. 】

After receiving this text message, Lin Shen's hands began to tremble, and then his whole body became cold.

It's over!It's over!Have something to say?Still have to say it face to face?What, what's the matter?

Trembling, he sent another text message: [Lu Lu, what's the matter, do you have to tell me in person? 】

After receiving Lin Shen's new text message, Yao Lu was at a loss!

What happened to this man today?You usually cry and want to video with yourself, but today you are so pushy?

Wouldn't it be inconvenient for him?

What's so inconvenient that you don't want to video?Didn't you say in the office?

Thinking about it, Yao Lu suddenly felt a twitch in his heart.

Lin Shen, he... he won't... be with his little friend now, right?

Two people are like this...

This...in broad daylight...can't be...

The more Yao Lu thought about it, the more suspicious he became, he picked up his phone, and quickly edited a text message and sent it.

Yao Lu: 【Are you really in the office?Did you lie to me?you alone? 】

Lin Shen: [Yeah, why did you lie to you?I will check the account today. 】

Yao Lu: [Then why, when I said video, you pushed three times and four times? 】

Lin Shen: [I don't have it? 】

Yao Lu: 【Forget it, you don't have to deny it!I know you are inconvenient!It's okay, let's not talk about it. 】

Seeing what Yao Lu said, Lin Shen became anxious immediately.

He quickly logged into Koukou, clicked on Yao Lu's profile picture, and sent a video invitation to Yao Lu.

Seeing Lin Shen's video invitation pop up on the computer, the corners of Yao Lu's lips curled up slightly, and he clicked to accept.

Soon, Lin Shen's face appeared on the screen.

He first took a closer look at Yao Lu, then looked at the background behind him, frowned and asked, "Lu Lu, where are you?"

"I'm at Starbucks." Yao Lu said.

Lin was puzzled and asked, "Are you at Starbucks? You don't go to work during the day, what do you do at Starbucks?"

Yao Lu smiled and said, "I don't have to go to work anymore, I'm resigning!"

Lin Shen widened his eyes and said, "Ah? What?"

Yao Lu continued: "I'm at the Starbucks at the airport, I'll be on the plane later, and I'm going back to my hometown!"

Lin Shen opened his mouth wide and said, "Ah—?"

Seeing Lin Shen's silly face, Yao Lu smiled happily and said, "Ah, what? I will! I said I resigned, and I'm going to fly home today, and I'm going home to find a job!"

Hearing this, Lin Shen stopped staring and opened his mouth. As if petrified, he stared straight at Yao Lu through the screen.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Lu Lu, you really gave me a big surprise today!"
