Rebirth of the Aspirations of Choucheng

The issue of the contract is like a time bomb, when the time is up, it explodes with a "boom", Tianxing also fell to the bottom instantly as Lu Xiaoyan expected.Fortunately, he made sufficient preparations in the early stage to minimize the losses in all aspects. At the same time, he also handled the relationship with various partners with extreme caution, laying the foundation for the development of another business in the future.

Lu Xiaoyan was busy throughout the month of May, making plans, making connections, and recruiting talents...Only on Ling Xi's birthday, he deliberately rejected all the entertainment, and quietly rushed to the footbridge where Ling Xi often sat in a daze, trying to create an "accident" "The chance encounter.Many days in advance, he was thinking about what gift to give Ling Xi, but after thinking about it, he felt that Ling Xi would not be satisfied with any gift, not to mention he couldn't think of a reasonable excuse.In the end, he ran to buy a card and secretly stuffed it into the mailbox downstairs of Ling Xi's house. It only wrote "Happy Birthday" on it, without the title or signature.

People's wishes will always become simpler with the gradual enrichment of experience. Children want to grow up quickly, teenagers want to go out into the world alone, young men and women want to have a vigorous love, lame people want to have healthy legs Terminally ill patients want to live for one more day... In the past, Lu Xiaoyan always hoped that Ling Xi would learn to obey his will, greet him with a smile every day, and play various tricks with him in bed, but now he just I just want Ling Xi to be healthy and happy.

It's a pity that the chance encounter planned by Lu Xiaoyan ended in failure. He waited under the bridge for two hours that day, but Ling Xi never showed up. Even the old beggar looked at him indifferently, and ran back to the broken straw mat to snore up.

It was approaching midnight, and there were few pedestrians on the street. A yellow-haired stray dog ​​got out from some hole in the wall. It first sniffed around with its nose, then went to the trash can to dig around, and finally climbed up the steps slowly and sat on the ling A place where Xi often haunts.From a distance, Lu Xiaoyan looked at it, and it also looked at Lu Xiaoyan. The dog's eyes were big and bright, wet, and its brows were shrunk into a figure-splayed shape. When the night wind blows, even the dog's hair is messy.

After looking at each other for a while, Lu Xiaoyan got out of the car and walked over, standing in front of the yellow-haired dog and asked condescendingly, "Hey, are you Ling Xi?"

Naturally, the dog couldn't speak, and just stared at Lu Xiaoyan with innocent and pitiful eyes, while wagging its tail back and forth quickly.Lu Xiaoyan was very happy to watch, and stood alone on the side of the empty street like an idiot, giggling.When it was twelve o'clock, there was still no sign of Ling Xi. After his birthday, Lu Xiaoyan had no point in staying any longer.

In the middle of the return journey, the words Ling Xi said before his death suddenly popped up in his mind inexplicably-"I have lived like a dog all my life, and I am still a fucking stray dog, Lu Xiaoyan, just take the stray dog ​​home, Also fed a full meal..."

By coincidence, Lu Xiaoyan pulled the steering wheel to turn the car, and drove back under the overpass.Along the way, he made a lot of ideas, such as finding a clean cardboard box from the old beggar for the dog, such as finding someone to wash and disinfect the dog as soon as possible after bringing the dog home, such as whether the dog should be cleaned The name is "Xizai"...

It wasn't until I got back to the spot that I realized that the yellow-haired dog wasn't waiting there at all, and even the dog's hair that fell on the ground was blown away by the wind.So life cannot stand hesitation, no matter for someone, something, a chance, or a dog you meet by chance one night.The time to turn his head may have been missed just like that.

Lu Xiaoyan finished smoking a cigarette in great disappointment, and sat back in the car again.Before he could start the engine, the phone rang, and when he saw that it was Lin Guangle on the caller ID, Lu Xiaoyan immediately picked up the phone.

It sounds like Lin Guangle should have already slept, and his voice was sticky and slurred: "Xiaoyan, didn't you check the Huitu record for you a few days ago? I just heard a piece of news from a friend of a friend. , your 'Talk of Heart' may not be very good recently..."

That night Lu Xiaoyan kept calling Ling Xi's mobile phone, but Ling Xi had turned off the phone.He finally found out Ling Xi's whereabouts through many people and after a lot of trouble.When he rushed to the police station, it was already dawn. He heard from the police friend who brought him there that Ling Xi was locked up overnight. Because no family and friends came to pick him up, he had to contact a social worker for him during the day to continue to follow up on the matter. thing.

The compartment used to confine people is small, with gloomy iron railings, and lying on the floor are two drunks reeking of alcohol. It is said that they were caught fighting in a bar, and they have not been sober since they entered.Ling Xi sat motionless in the corner opposite the drunks, with her back against the wall, her legs propped up, her arms resting on her knees, her face buried deep between her arms, only her soft, fluffy black hair was exposed. hair.

It can be seen that he is not asleep, and the index finger that hangs down casually is still moving in a small and regular way, just like secretly tapping the time when singing.Maybe he is just singing, he can't sing out loud, he can sing silently in his heart, otherwise Lu Xiaoyan can't imagine how he survived the night in a state of isolation and helplessness.

Afraid that his sudden appearance would frighten Ling Xi, Lu Xiaoyan tried to call Ling Xi's name softly first, Ling Xi should have heard it, seeing that his finger movements stopped, but he kept the previous posture and did not look up.Lu Xiaoyan called out "Ling Xi" again, deliberately raising the volume this time.

Ling Xi's shoulders moved slightly, then moved again, then slowly raised his head, his eyes met Lu Xiaoyan's direction, with a tired and confused expression.The suddenly brighter light made him a little uncomfortable, subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, and murmured after a long time: "Are you arrested too?"

Lu Xiaoyan raised his hand and pointed at other places randomly: "Oh, a friend of mine had a little accident, I came to help, and now the matter has been resolved. Just now I saw you here and asked a few words, don't think I'm too much Well, how about this, I happen to have acquaintances, so I can get you out by the way."

I don't know if it's related to the lack of sleep, but Ling Xi's spirit is not very good, and his reaction becomes very slow. It was not until he finished speaking that he nodded numbly: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

After completing the procedures and paying a certain amount of bail, Lu Xiaoyan took Ling Xi and left the police station.The car was parked on the side of the road not far away, and Lu Xiaoyan walked to the front of the car and opened the door of the passenger seat, motioning for Ling Xi to get in the car, Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, and sat in as promised.

Ling Xi didn't say anything along the way, he turned his face out of the car window, staring intently at the scene of the street flying backwards, wondering what he was thinking.Lu Xiaoyan tried to ask him: "Ling Xi, are you in any trouble? If you can't solve it, why don't you tell me, maybe I can help you..."

Ling Xi shook her head: "It's nothing."

At this time, although Lu Xiaoyan knew what happened to Ling Xi like the back of his hand, he didn't know where to start to comfort Ling Xi. He struggled to find the right words: "Ling Xi, I am older than you, and I have more experience than you. He's not a good person, but he has absolutely no malice towards you. It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it now, whenever you want to say it in the future, I will be the best person to talk to, or you..."

Lu Xiaoyan didn't continue talking, through the reflection of the opposite car window, he saw Ling Xi stubbornly pursed his lips, raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes vigorously.

The tissue was at hand, but Lu Xiaoyan didn't go to get it. According to Ling Xi's proud character, he definitely didn't want to be seen crying, so he also pretended not to notice.

A few minutes later, Ling Xi's mood gradually calmed down, and she looked back at Lu Xiaoyan: "Thanks to you today, I'm really fine. The bail may take a few days to return to you, or I'll write you an IOU."

Lu Xiaoyan was a little dumbfounded: "The bail money is not much, and you don't need to pay it back at all. If you feel uncomfortable, just pay it back when it's convenient. You don't need to write an IOU, I can trust you, as for the interest..." He intentionally He paused for a while, and when he had seen enough of Ling Xi's wide-eyed and extremely serious appearance, he changed the topic, "Just treat me to breakfast as compensation."

Ling Xi readily accepted his request: "Okay, there is a small restaurant at the intersection ahead, turn left, I used to drink porridge with... I used to go there, the taste is not bad." The mood that had finally become cheerful suddenly became gloomy again.

Lu Xiaoyan observed the words and expressions, and vaguely figured out the doorway behind it, and offered: "I don't like porridge, so I might as well get another one. I know there is a teahouse called Xinyuan nearby, and the taste is not bad." It is famous for being exquisite and expensive, and Ling Xi couldn't help showing embarrassment when hearing this.Before he could open his mouth, Lu Xiaoyan added in time, "The items in Xinyuan are too expensive, and asking you to treat him is bullying you. Otherwise, I will treat you this time, and I will change it to you next time."

Ling Xi thought for a while: "No, it's enough to have a full breakfast. There's no need to choose too expensive ones. It's not easy for you to work every day. I'll hire you and find a cheap one. I don't have money."

Under Ling Xi's insistence, the two finally chose a roadside shop.Ling Xi asked Lu Xiaoyan to order casually, but Lu Xiaoyan flipped through the menu to see that the items on it were really unpalatable, so in the end he just randomly selected a few items according to Ling Xi's taste.The environment in the store was dirty, the cups and plates were worn out, but the food was served very quickly, and all the food ordered arrived in a short while.Ling Xi was not too polite, picked up the rice bowl and started eating sullenly.Lu Xiaoyan really didn't have any appetite, so he carefully inspected all the food while Ling Xi was concentrating on eating.

Ling Xi is allergic to sesame seeds, and should not eat any food containing sesame ingredients. If it accidentally touches it, it may cause respiratory edema, coughing and wheezing, or even suffocation.He himself knows the seriousness of the problem and is extra careful every time he eats out.There was only one time in my previous life, because I ate a piece of jelly with unknown ingredients because of my greedy mouth, and I had to go to the hospital for emergency treatment.Afterwards, he was severely scolded by Lu Xiaoyan for a week.At that time, Lu Xiaoyan didn't know why he was so angry. Looking back, maybe he had loved Ling Xi subconsciously, because he loved him, so he was afraid of losing him... Although he drove him away with his own hands in the end...

After eating a bowl of rice, Ling Xi added another bowl, looked up at Lu Xiaoyan who didn't move his chopsticks much, and smiled embarrassedly: "Am I too good to eat?"

Lu Xiaoyan pushed several dishes in front of him: "How come, it's a blessing to be able to eat."

Ling Xi nodded in agreement: "My grandpa said the same thing, and grandpa asked me to eat two bowls of rice every meal outside alone." A trace of sadness flashed across his face, and he regained his composure in a blink of an eye, "And I haven't After the puberty period, you can continue to grow taller by eating more, so it is not a waste.”

Lu Xiaoyan recalled Ling Xi's height in his previous life, then calmly compared his own height, stretched out his hand and pulled back several high-protein and high-calorie meats, and quietly pushed several plates of vegetables in front of Ling Xi.

He didn't think that he would be with Ling Xi for the rest of his life, but he didn't want Ling Xi to grow too tall, which would weaken his advantage in appearance - he couldn't tell what the purpose of doing this was .

After dinner, Lu Xiaoyan drove Ling Xi back home.When they broke up, Ling Xi once again promised Lu Xiaoyan that he would repay the bail as soon as possible, but Lu Xiaoyan waved his hand away irritably.Watching Ling Xi walk into the building, Lu Xiaoyan did not leave immediately, but hid in the car and closely watched Ling Xi's every move.

Maybe it was a secret arrangement. Ling Xi wanted to go home directly to take a shower and rest. When he passed the mailbox, he accidentally saw the corner of the paper protruding from the bottom. He didn't like the feeling of breaking through the border. He simply walked over to open the mailbox and sorted it out.He lives alone, does not subscribe to newspapers, and does not have letters. In addition to bills, there are various advertising leaflets in the mailbox, which are already stuffed with a thick stack.Ling Xi quickly scanned them one by one, stuffing useful ones into his pockets, and throwing useless ones into the trash can next to him.All of a sudden, his movements stopped. Between the pile of cold bills and colorful leaflets, there was a greeting card with the words "Happy Birthday" written on it with a pen. Unfortunately, there was no signature, only yesterday's date.

Ling Xi's birthday has passed, and there are no gifts or blessings for her 19th birthday, and even her freedom is temporarily deprived.He thought that no one in the world would remember his birthday except himself, and from now on, every birthday would be passed in such a peaceful way, but he didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected late surprise .

His name was not written on the greeting card, making him unsure that it was really for him.Ling Xi quickly looked around a few times, like a clumsy thief who stole a treasure, afraid of being discovered by the real owner, he took the greeting card back.After confirming that no one around him noticed his actions, Ling Xi hid the greeting card in his bosom, lowered his head and rushed into the elevator quickly.

Lu Xiaoyan, who was peeping from a distance, retreated after finishing his work, and started the car calmly while whistling.It turns out that making Ling Xi happy is much easier than he imagined.If he guessed right, Ling Xi should put this greeting card into his oversized canvas travel bag.Lu Xiaoyan thought secretly in his heart, well Ling Xi, one day I will fill your travel bag...

After leaving Ling Xi's house, Lu Xiaoyan drove back to the Lu family mansion on Xiangfenli Road.He has already made an appointment with a well-known neurosurgery authority, and plans to take his good sister for a thorough health checkup.Although at the current level of medical care, there is no effective treatment for senile disease, but if it is discovered in time, the condition can be controlled with drugs so that it will not continue to deteriorate.

My good sister is in her fifties. She has been working in this family since her father and Zhou Hua got married. She also quit her job and went back to her hometown to get married and have children. However, a flood destroyed the family’s fields and houses. Her husband and son were also unlucky. died in disaster.The good sister who became a widow had no choice but to return to the Lu family to work as a domestic helper. She has been doing this for more than [-] years and never left.

When the good sister returned to Lu's house, Kong Fanzhen was pregnant with Lu Xiaoyan. Lu Yuanteng felt that she had experience in giving birth, so he arranged for her to take care of Kong Fanzhen.After going back and forth, Kong Fanzhen and her almost became good sisters who talked about everything.Among the three children, only Lu Xiaoyan was brought up by the good sister from birth, so the relationship is also the closest.During the nights when his good sister disappeared in his previous life, he had nightmares one after another. Either he dreamed that his good sister crashed into a car, or he dreamed that her good sister fell into the sea. In short, there were various ways to die. The family members called the police and sent people to inquire everywhere for several days. Finally, Still nothing.

Because she was used to physical labor since she was a child, my good sister is strong and flexible, and can walk like flying with a few kilograms of things alone, and she is insulated from colds, fevers, headaches and brain fever.It's a pity that no one is perfect. My sister's brain began to degenerate when she was just over half a century old. At that time, everyone regarded this as a normal physiological phenomenon, thinking that people's memory will naturally deteriorate when they get old. When the truth is discovered, It was too late for treatment.

The same thing can't happen again, Lu Xiaoyan has already greeted his family, saying that he can't eat delicious home-cooked food by himself, and wants his sister to move in to help, and he will pick her up as soon as the results of the physical examination come out.For Lu Xiaoyan, in his previous life, regardless of small favors or great evils, he would repay all that was put on him in double, and he couldn't make good people feel sad, let alone make bad people feel better.

Lu Xiaoyan was afraid that his good sister would think wildly, so he didn't tell her that he was taking her to check for geriatrics. He only said that a doctor friend was writing a paper and needed a certain number of middle-aged and elderly samples, so he asked her to help make up the number.It was still early when we arrived at the hospital, Ling Xi and Haojie were taken to the bench outside the clinic and waited. There was a row of daily newspapers on the shelf next to them. Lu Xiaoyan sat bored, so he just picked up a copy and flipped through it.

Out of habit, he first flipped through the entertainment section, and there was a huge headline on the headlines - the well-known Hollywood director Feng An planned to come out again after three years, and returned to his hometown, Ridao, to film a new movie.In the back, he used almost an entire page to introduce Feng Dao's life, experience, awards, etc., and also accompanied a few photos of Feng Dao in different periods.

This Feng An started out as a literary film, with a very small output, but he is always favored by the judges of the awards. He can be regarded as one of the few Chinese directors with a high status in Hollywood. In Lu Xiaoyan's memory, this director Feng prepared three Although the new film that had been going on for years had been hyped by various media, it ended without a problem. The reason for this was that he didn't pay much attention to it back then.

Just when Lu Xiaoyan was about to turn the page, Haojie suddenly pointed at Feng An in the photo and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this Director Feng?"

Lu Xiaoyan looked at his good sister in surprise: "You know this too?"

The good sister was very proud: "Isn't it Feng Rong?"

Lu Xiaoyan unconfidently picked up the newspaper and re-confirmed: "You made a mistake, his name is Feng An."

"That's right, that's Feng An." The good sister pulled the newspaper confidently, as if she called her right just now, "This kid is your mother's first love. When your mother passed away, he even wrote a condolence letter in the newspaper." Wen, I can't read it, but I heard people say that the writing is not bad. Your father was so angry that he directly cut off his money and drove him to Hollywood."

Lu Xiaoyan frowned suddenly, and looked at Feng An's photo again, it seemed awkward.The mother was in a car accident while driving this Director Feng's car. Thinking that her mother might have an affair with this Director Feng, Lu Xiaoyan felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.In his previous life, Lu Xiaoyan hated people bringing up old things about his mother since he was a child. He always resisted them instinctively, as if if he didn't listen, don't watch, and didn't pursue the matter, it would be as if it didn't happen at all.

On the contrary, in this life, he became not afraid of anything, and asked his good sister with great interest: "Since you know him so well, why don't you tell me more stories about your mother and Director Feng when they were young. "

Good sister has the kind of temperament that can't stop once she opens her mouth. Someone asked her for gossip, and she couldn't be happier. Classmate, his family was poor at that time, and your mother made money as a part-time model, and would give him supplements. Later, your mother won the championship in a beauty pageant, and he chased your mother for three years, giving sports cars and gifts diamond ring..."

"Wait!" Lu Xiaoyan was confused when he heard this, "Isn't he a high school classmate, why did he think of chasing his mother until the beauty pageant? And you said that his family is poor and needs his mother to subsidize it, so why did he buy a sports car and a diamond ring?"

The good sister completely ignored Lu Xiaoyan's doubts: "Why do you ask so many questions? I haven't looked at it for many years. I have a bad memory. It's so strange to say it occasionally. The first ones are not important. You know why your mother reads it." Don't you want to fuck him? I heard from your mother that one night when he was drunk, he sneaked into your mother's lounge and wanted to touch your mother. When your mother got angry, she just bit him hard. Take a bite of the ear, and bite off a piece of meat from the earlobe, and he will never see any inappropriate behavior in the future."

Lu Xiaoyan looked at Feng An's thin and gentle appearance in the photo, and there was no way to connect him with the wretched man anyway: "Since he can do such a thing, why would mother choose to fall in love with him? Who would choose someone alone?" The scumbag is the object of first love."

Good sister is very anxious: "It is said that he was a classmate in high school, and the first love naturally happened in high school. He is really kind to your mother. After your mother gave birth to you, he helped to contact you in the first drama that changed careers. Yes. It is said that even the heroine of his debut novel was based on your mother."

The more Lu Xiaoyan listened, the more confused he became: "You said just now that he chased after his mother when she participated in a beauty pageant, why did she go back to her first love in high school?"

The good sister is even more anxious than Lu Xiaoyan: "I said it so clearly, why can't you understand it? It's exhausting to talk to you. Let's say he didn't dare to chase after your mother after half of his earlobe was bitten off by your mother." , and threatened that whoever chases your mother is against him. In my opinion, your mother's death is absolutely inseparable from him..."

Sister Hao wanted to continue, but the nurse in charge of reception called her name: "Ms. Chen Meimei, please come in with me for an examination."

The good sister stood up quickly, and did not forget to tell Lu Xiaoyan: "Xiaoyi, if you are bored while sitting, go out and walk around first, and I will call you when I am here."

Lu Xiaoyan wanted to remind her good sister that she was not Xiaoyi, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was unnecessary. After reminding her this time, she would still forget it next time, and the wrong name was different every time, so why waste effort.

But now that Director Feng has returned to Lidao, maybe he can really find a chance to meet him, on the one hand, to see if there is any opportunity for cooperation in the future, and on the other hand, he also wants to use this to learn more about the back of his mother's death. The story that happened...
