Excessive

Xu Shi was also in the car. He was going back to the set, and the assistant was still dealing with some things in the city, so he had no choice but to take a ride with Lu Zhenqing.However, when he got into Lu Zhenqing's car, he realized what a wrong decision he had made!

Seeing a car next to him being overtaken, Xu Shi reminded him for the third time, "Slow down, what's the hurry?"

The female voice in the navigation was also reminding him of speeding, so Lu Zhenqing had no choice but to slow down the car, but within two kilometers, he resumed his previous speed.

During the one-hour drive, the two barely spoke. Seeing him driving so fast, Xu Shi was afraid that he would distract Lu Zhenqing's attention by saying something, and his life would be here.

When the car stopped, half of his life was gone, and his body really couldn't stand the toss.

The filming location was in an ancient town near City S. Lu Zhenqing and the others arrived very late, but fortunately, they wanted to shoot a night scene today, and Xu Shi had said hello in advance, and everyone was waiting for him to come back.

Lu Zhenqing had never seen or even heard of this actor named Ni Ni. There were so many women coming and going at the scene, even if he knew countless people, it was really difficult to recognize who they were by just one name.

He looked at Xu Shi who was still suffering from motion sickness, and the latter pointed to the direction to his right.

There was only a girl in a light blue cheongsam sitting there, it should be her without a doubt.

Lu Zhenqing walked over.

"Hello."

"Ah!" Startled by him, her hands shook and her eyebrows were crooked.She was about to get angry when she saw someone in the mirror and was taken aback.

"Mr. Lu?" Although she had never met Lu Zhenqing, she was very familiar with this man.Although Lu Zhenqing looked changed a lot, she could still recognize him at a glance.

"You know me?" Although Lu Zhenqing didn't expect it, it's normal to think about it. "Then you know why I came to you, right?"

Needless to say, Ni Ni also knows.She is a smart person, she had indeed guessed it long ago, even Lu Zhenqing came later than she thought.

"Where is Shuyao?"

Lu Zhenqing went straight to the point, nothing else was important, this was what he wanted to know.

Ni Ni wiped off the eyebrows over there with a cleansing paper, and shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Lu Zhenqing was a little angry. He shortened the two-hour drive to one hour, and just wanted to hear an answer, but the other party actually gave up.

Ni Ni stood up unhurriedly, she was different from the previous two years, if before, she would definitely have said everything she should have said without waiting for Lu Zhenqing to speak.But in the past two years, she has matured a lot. She can say what she can say, but she doesn't say a word about what she can't.

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

Lu Zhenqing looked at her puzzled, shouldn't he say this?But he still replied: "You say."

Ni Ni thought for a while, "What's the relationship between you and Brother Shuyao?"

This question is purely her own curiosity, because she didn't get the answer she wanted from Du Shuyao.

But Lu Zhenqing didn't see her boredom, instead he thought about it seriously, "Why are you asking this?"

"Otherwise, why should I tell you where brother Shuyao has gone?" Ni Ni replied solemnly. I have to say that her acting skills have improved a lot in the past two years.

"I'm his friend." Lu Zhenqing intends to get away with it. It's not that he doesn't want to tell others about their relationship, but he's afraid that spreading the word will have an impact on Shuyao.

This time, he wanted to protect him well.

Ni Ni didn't hear the answer she wanted, and shook her head in disappointment.

Lu Zhenqing didn't have much patience to spend time here with a little girl, "Boyfriend, it's alright, next one."

"Then why are you looking for him?"

"Because I love him!"

Almost blurted out, isn't this a matter of course, Lu Zhenqing wondered, just like Kong Qingming said, he really doesn't understand girls' thinking.

But at this time, what Ni Ni was thinking was: brother Shuyao obviously didn't say that...

After thinking for a long time, Ni Ni asked the third question, "What will happen to you after you find him?"

Unlike the other two questions, this one is what Ni Ni really wants to ask, without any jokes involved.She remembered the last time she saw Du Shuyao, it was more than a year ago, when she saw Du Shuyao, she didn't dare to recognize him at all, haggard, thin, and vulnerable to injuries, as if coming A gust of wind can blow him away.He still looks cold and unreasonable, but I know that his heart has always been softer than anyone else.

"I will do my best to make it up to him." Lu Zhenqing's eyes sunk, as if he was recalling the past. At that time, he was too a jerk and did many things to sorry Shuyao, "I won't make him sad again. .”

Ni Ni sighed, why bother if I knew this before!Although she didn't know what happened to the two of them, she could more or less guess something from the changes in the two of them.She also couldn't tell whether Du Shuyao's departure was a good thing or a bad thing...

"Can you tell me the whereabouts of Shuyao now?"

Being able to answer her question calmly is already Lu Zhenqing's progress, only he knows how anxious he is now.

But Lu Zhenqing heard Ni Ni say, "I don't know either."

This answer made him unacceptable. With a wave of his hand, he accidentally knocked over a bottle of liquid on the table, and everyone present looked over.

Lu Zhenqing lowered his voice, and there was a bit of threat in his words, "Don't test my patience."

He just wanted to know where his book went, why didn't he tell him!

"I don't need to lie to you." Ni Ni was indifferent to his words and still replied calmly. "I only have his mailbox, and I write him an email every month, but he only responds once."

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and rummaged through something.

"Here." She handed the phone to Lu Zhenqing and asked him to read it for himself.

Lu Zhenqing took it over, there were only a few short sentences in it, it was nothing more than saying that he was doing well, don't read such words.Attached is a selfie below. It is a little girl of one or two years old. Du Shuyao only has a head exposed from the side. He has cut his hair short and looks a lot more mature. The scars on his face can still be seen vaguely.

In the photo, he is smiling happily.

But why did Du Shuyao send such a photo to this actor named Ni Ni?

Lu Zhenqing asked Du Zhengyang, and Du Shuyao had never contacted him. Since he didn't even contact his closest brother, why would he reply an email from an actor he had never heard of?

"What's your relationship with Shuyao?" This time it was Lu Zhenqing's turn to ask.

Not happy, Lu Zhenqing still doubts her?

"He is my idol." Ni Ni replied truthfully.

Lu Zhenqing obviously didn't believe it, because the reason didn't make sense.Du Shuyao has so many fans, why just contact her?

"As you can see, he is doing well now. If you can't keep the promise you just made, don't go to him."

"Ni Ni!" The assistant director looked at the time and began to urge the scene.

She responded, then turned to Lu Zhenqing and said, "I'm sorry, it's time for me to go filming."

Lu Zhenqing was still thinking about what it said just now, "Um...can you give me his email address and that photo?"

Lu Zhenqing got the address and photo that Ni Ni sent him, and sat in the car looking at it for a long time. Thank God, Du Shuyao did seem to be doing well, at least, better than when he was with him.

Lu Zhenqing hesitated, should he look for it?Would he really be happy if he kept Shuyao by his side?Lu Zhenqing thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that one day he would think of letting go.

The lights of the houses in the ancient town gradually went out, only the lanterns hanging outside the shops that were lit all night were still on.

Du Shuyao in the photo looks so familiar, but Lu Zhenqing feels so strange. He has never seen Du Shuyao smiling so brightly. On the contrary, when the two are together, Du Shuyao always frowns, With a melancholy look, he always looks like he can't be happy.

Therefore, every time Lu Zhenqing saw him like this, he would feel inexplicably bad. After all, no one wanted to see a sad face when they returned home.Only now did he understand that Du Shuyao didn't smile, but he didn't smile at him.

It turned out that Du Shuyao would only frown when he was by his side.

Cigarette butts fell from the car window and were blown away by the wind before they hit the ground. The night at the end of September was cold.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Zhenqing made a decision.

let go?

No.

He doesn't want to.

Even if Du Shuyao wanted to leave him, he still had to hear Du Shuyao say it himself.

"Look up an IP address for me." Lu Zhenqing dialed the phone.

Lu Zhenqing didn't stay long, and rushed back to City S overnight.

The next day he went to the company early in the morning, waiting for Bao Jun's report, even the company's employees hadn't come to work yet.

"Hmm... this address..." Bao Jun yawned, and glanced at Lu Zhenqing who also had two dark circles under his eyes, "...in a small town near Toronto."

If he didn't know who Lu Zhenqing was looking for, Bao Jun wouldn't believe this address at all.But it's no wonder, if Du Shuyao hadn't hid in this kind of mountain corner, would Lu Zhenqing be running around in such a hurry.

"You said, am I really that bad?"

"Ah?" Bao Jun was at a loss, following Lu Zhenqing he was about to have a schizophrenia, how should he answer the nonsense.

Seeing his sharp gaze, Bao Jun replied, "No."

To be fair, in Bao Jun's opinion, he has been with him for so many years.But it can't be said to be bad, it is more appropriate to describe it as ruthless.Lu Zhenqing seemed to have the same attitude no matter if he was facing his opponent or his lover.However, he can understand Lu Zhenqing's behavior. No matter who has been in the business world for more than ten years, it is impossible to remain kind.Sometimes if you don't choose to be cruel, the people around you will suffer.

"That's a little bit?" Lu Zhenqing's tone was not as sharp as before, he was asking this question very sincerely.

"Sometimes..." For example, when competing with an opponent, or when breaking up with a lover.

Lu Zhenqing was not angry when he heard what he said, and he was surprised that Bao Jun could comment on him like this.In fact, he knew the weight of "a little" in his heart.

"Is that why he left..." Lu Zhenqing was thinking, muttering to himself, but Bao Jun didn't hear clearly, and asked him something, but the latter didn't answer.

"Book me a ticket to Toronto."

"when?"

"tomorrow."

Bao Jun flipped through his phone in embarrassment, "New building tomorrow afternoon..."

"Let Manager Zhao go."

"President Qin's birthday party that night..."

"Push it."

Bao Jun waved his hands helplessly, thinking that he was too decisive in doing things, but as an employee, he still had to listen to the boss's orders.

In a small town in the northernmost part of Toronto, the maple leaves on the mountain have begun to fall, paving the entire town red.

Du Shuyao put on his overcoat and scarf, trying to wrap himself up as tightly as possible, but he still shivered when he just went out.

The latitude here is high, the weather is cold, and it is erratic. It started snowing before winter last year. Du Shuyao touched his pocket and found no change, so he went to a convenience store on the roadside to change some coins.

The boss here is very kind, and she is very impressed with Du Shuyao. There are very few Chinese in the town, and some of them are tourists. They leave in a day or two, but this person has been here for more than a year.

"Good morning." She smiled and greeted Du Shuyao in standard English.

"Good morning." Du Shuyao replied politely.

"It's really cold today."

"Yes."

They chatted a few more words, and the owner of this store, Du Shuyao, was also familiar with it. There was no large supermarket nearby, so he often came to this store.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to wave to Du Shuyao. She had to say that the mystery of this man attracted her very much.

Du Shuyao left the convenience store and walked for a while before arriving at the bus stop.Because the town is not big, there are very few buses. After waiting for a long time, a car came slowly.

When he arrived at his destination, Du Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not late.

This is a pastry shop, and he is working in it now.Although it is far away from the place where I live, the salary is still considerable, and I can barely get by.

The boss is Chinese like him, but he is not often in the store, which is why Du Shuyao chose this store. His ability to deal with people is very poor, so this job is quite easy for him.

There were not many customers at this time, so Du Shuyao polished the window brighter, and made a few cakes that he had researched a few days ago and put them in.

After finishing all this work, the boss came over, saw his new cake, tasted it, and left after sitting for a while. Du Shuyao didn't know what she was busy with.

After the boss left, Du Shuyao took out his mobile phone and made a call to the landline at home.

Standing on the side of the road, Lu Zhenqing looked at Du Shuyao, who was busy in the shop on the other side of the road, and finally got some leisure, with mixed emotions in his heart. A road is now like a galaxy, and he can't walk across it no matter what.

He arrived in Toronto last night, and his dizziness forced him to stay in the city for one night.Lu Zhenqing didn't take the train, and rented a car by himself, so he saved a lot of time.

This town is not big, and it is at the northernmost point. There must not be many Chinese people who have lived here for a long time. Sure enough, he only asked three people before he found out about Du Shuyao.

Lu Zhenqing thought about the scene of the two seeing each other countless times, but he never thought that he dared not take this step. He wanted to hold this person in his arms tightly and never let go, but he was afraid I hurt him again.

After hanging up the phone, Du Shuyao couldn't help feeling much better.He pulled his sleeves to cover the long scar on his wrist.

Hearing the sound of the wind chime at the door, another guest came in.

"Hi, may I ask if you need..."

Du Shuyao heard his own voice stop abruptly.

The man standing at the door...

"What do you need?"

Even though Du Shuyao tried his best to make himself look calm, he could not hide the panic in his eyes. He subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but there was a wall behind him, so he had to freeze in place and could not move.

Lu Zhenqing approached him, and stared at Du Shuyao, who dared not look up, across a cash register.

you.

I need you.
