Chapter 37 The Past

Zhao Shuming woke up.At some point last night, he fell asleep with his mobile phone turned off automatically with cartoons playing.

He picked up the phone, yawned, and was still a little dazed, as if he was still in the aftertaste of a dream. He wanted to recollect it carefully, but he couldn't remember exactly what he dreamed of.

The wind and snow had stopped outside the window, and the glimmer of the sun was brightened by the snow all over the sky, and the light coming through the curtains was even a bit dazzling.

"What time is it..." Curled up on the sofa and slept all night, it was really uncomfortable. He stretched his body, and he could almost hear the clicking sound of his joints.

I really don't want to have this kind of experience again, Zhao Shuming touched his neck uncomfortably, raised his wrist to look at his watch, the hour hand didn't reach 7 o'clock.

The waiters should not have woken up yet, he was the only one in the whole coffee shop.

The latte on the table even smelled like it was freezing cold. Zhao Shuming got up and went to the bar to pour himself a glass of water. After drinking it in one gulp, he couldn't help shaking from the ice.

The room was too warm due to the heating, and the air that hadn't passed through the wind all night was very dull. Zhao Shuming checked the phone carefully again, and confirmed that it was really out of power. He couldn't help but sigh: " so troublesome."

I shouldn't have come here this time, and Lu Ming couldn't come together, and it wasn't as fun as I imagined, and this kind of thing happened... All in all, it's so annoying.

This kind of burnout caused by not sleeping well was something Zhao Shuming was very familiar with before. He put his mobile phone in his pocket in annoyance, his chest was a little tight due to the muddy heating, so he decided not to wait for the waiter to wake up, and planned to go directly to the cable car Waiting for the first bus to come up.

As soon as he went out, the cold air rushed towards his face. It was not as cold as he imagined. It carried a sense of moist coolness, which made Zhao Shuming tremble. A few points.He paused for a while, and with one step of his long legs, he walked into a field of ice and snow.

The cafe is next to the ski resort, not far from the cable car station, and it takes only ten minutes to walk slowly.The sky after the blizzard was too clear. It was only hazy and bright at first, but in a blink of an eye, the sun became very bright. As long as you look up, the fog and mist on the snowy peaks in the distance dissipate, and the nearby treetops are covered with heavy snow. Large expanses of white cover the field of vision like pouring, and when illuminated by the light of the sunrise, they look like flickering flames.

Zhao Shuming stopped unknowingly.

—beautiful, if...

The rustling sound kept coming, as if the branches were being broken one by one, Zhao Shuming looked into the distance in a daze, and didn't notice anyone approaching for a while, until his eyes were suddenly covered by a hand.

"Don't keep staring at Xue."

Zhao Shuming's covered eyes suddenly opened wide, but unfortunately he turned around too much, tripped over the snow, and fell backward on the visitor.

"Lu Ming?" Before he could stand still, he looked up in shock at Lu Ming who was looking down at him. The diffuse light reflected by the snow cast a nice shadow on Lu Ming's face, and the outline was framed by the sun. Circle Phnom Penh.

This person seemed to come out of Zhao Shuming's dream last night: "You, why are you here?"

Without remembering to answer his question, Lu Ming held his arm firmly, helped him to stand upright, looked him up and down, seemed sure that he was intact, and finally heaved a sigh of relief

"I've finished my work, so I'll come here." Lu Ming's voice was apologetic, "I'm sorry, I promised, but I couldn't accompany you, but fortunately I caught up with you. I just arrived in the morning, listen to what they said You were trapped on the mountain last night, and you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Shuming embraced him, his worried expression froze on his face, even his eyes widened slightly, and his usually expressionless face was full of bewilderment.

But he reacted in the next second, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? What happened? Are you uncomfortable?"

It was so unexpected. The sudden appearance of the person whom I had been thinking about was like a movie plot where all wishes come true. There was an illusion of perfection, which made Zhao Shuming feel a little uncontrollable. He buried himself in Lu Ming's coat and took a deep breath. After taking a breath, he barely calmed down and shook his head, knowing that this hug was too rude. After all, it was just friends who hadn't seen each other for a few days, but they created the posture of the reunion of the hero and heroine of an idol drama. No matter how you look at it, you will find it too weird.

But although he understood rationally that he should let go of his hand and step back, he was unwilling to do so. Anyway, he was sure that Lu Ming would not push him away: "I was just shocked. You appeared too suddenly."

"Are you really okay?" Lu Ming really let him hold him, but he said uneasy, "You spent the night on the top of the mountain alone..."

"It's not alone. There are two waiters in the cafe. It's just that I woke up earlier and wanted to go down earlier." Zhao Shuming asked, "I want to ask if you're okay? I haven't contacted you for so long."

"I'm sorry, I'm so busy, I've been upside down day and night, and every time I want to call you, I don't know if you're sleeping or playing." Lu Ming's voice was full of apology, and unconsciously sank .The sudden silence made Zhao Shuming feel that something was wrong. He stepped back a little and looked up at Lu Ming: "What's wrong?"

Lu Ming didn't speak, but just looked at him, his expression was hesitant to speak, his lips were pursed, as if his mouth was dry.

Tilting his head, Zhao Shuming gradually frowned, and asked again: "What's the matter? What happened?"

Lu Ming shook his head: "Let's go down first."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhao Shuming took a step forward and grabbed him. He unconsciously quickened his speech, and said with concern: "Is it not going well? The company is not good?"

"The company is fine." After all, Lu Ming couldn't resist Zhao Shuming's questioning. He seemed to be afraid that it would be difficult for him to walk in the snow, so he held his hand behind his back, but he was also a little afraid that Zhao Shuming would not feel comfortable in this intimate position, while spying on him Walking forward with an expression on his face, "The partners want to sell the company. I think their decision is too hasty. It's not worthwhile to sell the company at the price offered by the other party."

Zhao Shuming was too happy to be held by him in time, and immediately pretended to be inadvertently clenched slightly: "Then what's the result now?"

"I met with the buyer alone. They started out in real estate in China. They bought us because they wanted to test the waters of the Internet industry." Lu Ming said slowly, "He approved of my future development plan for the company, so in the end he acquired I took over other people’s shares, allowing me to keep my own shares and continue to participate in the company’s operations. But I am mainly responsible for product development.”

"Isn't that a good thing?" Zhao Shuming hasn't come to his senses yet, but just sounds like it's a perfect solution to this matter.

They had already walked slowly to the cable car station at this time, where the height difference from the bottom of the mountain was vividly reflected, the scenery was better, and a deep breath brought the fresh breath of snow.

The two stopped in a tacit understanding and did not rush down the mountain.

"It's very beautiful here, luckily you came here." Zhao Shuming narrowed his eyes and looked down the mountain in a good mood, "I wish you could come and have a look every day, but the photos still can't capture the taste."

Lu Ming didn't answer the conversation, nor did he enjoy the beautiful scenery with Zhao Shuming, but just looked at his side face quietly.If his gaze had any substance, Zhao Shuming's face was burning hot, and he couldn't help turning his head: "What are you doing?"

Lu Ming said: "I'll go through the formalities when I come back, and I should stay in the United States for a long time."

It took Zhao Shuming a while to understand this sentence and the meaning behind it.At this moment, the temperature had obviously risen, but he shivered for no reason, and couldn't help but let out an "ah": "But your university..."

Lu Ming said, "I will transfer to the United States to continue my studies."

This time even Zhao Shuming had nothing to say.

How can I say it, can such a serious life event be stopped?Lu Ming's future will be bright because of this, as a good friend, Zhao Shuming can only say one thing: "That's good."

He heard himself say dryly, "Congratulations, this way you can get rid of your dad."

There should be something more to say, these few words are too thin as a congratulatory message, they sound insincere at all, in order to make up for this, Zhao Shuming forced a smile, but worried that his smile would be too fake.

Lu Ming seemed to want to say something, a little anxious.Zhao Shuming looked at him dryly, still stuck in the aftershock of the news, his mind was a little lost, and he didn't ask him actively.

"I..." Lu Ming stopped, looked to the side, and took a few deep breaths.

Here comes the cable car.

Zhao Shuming looked away from him and looked at the cable car: "Let's go?"

Lu Ming was silent for two seconds before saying, "Yes."

There were only the two of them at this point, sitting side by side in the rear of the car.The cable car slides slowly in the air empty, against the outdoor scenery, it seems that two people have become a small world separated by ice and snow.

Zhao Shuming had been looking at the snow scene outside, and suddenly heard Lu Ming say: "I lived in an orphanage for a while when I was young."

Zhao Shuming turned back in shock: "Why? Your current father...?"

"It's a relative." Lu Ming didn't make a fool of himself, and said directly, "My mother was with him at the time, and no one in the family agreed. My mother's personality is too extreme, and she broke up with her family and cut off contact. But what my dad likes is her family relationship, and he wants my mom to reconcile with the family. The two often quarreled over this matter, and my mom divorced him in a fit of anger, and took me away."

Zhao Shuming asked: "Then your mother took you back to her own home?"

According to common sense, Lu Ming's mother should do this, but Lu Ming said: "No. She may feel ashamed and didn't bow her head to admit her mistake at home, but took me to live alone."

Since Lu Ming was reduced to the point of going to the orphanage in the end, they didn't think their life was very good.Lu Zheng is certainly a scumbag, but Lu Ming's mother has no way to be responsible for herself or her children.

"My mother studied painting in college, and she didn't finish college. She also brought me, who was more than three years old, with no financial resources at all." Lu Ming's voice became colder, as if he wanted to blend in with the ice and snow outside. "After the little money I saved was used up, we were evicted by the landlord, and there was no hope for the future. In the end, she sent me to the gate of the orphanage and left by myself."

"Your mother..." Zhao Shuming almost blurted out that your mother is sick!It doesn't matter if I like to suffer and don't want to go home, so send Lu Ming back? !Send your child to an orphanage?

Speaking of his own affairs, Lu Ming was calmer than him: "She is indeed sick. Although I have no way to confirm it, I think she must have been depressed at that time, and she committed suicide."

Zhao Shuming's chest seemed to be rubbed hard by someone else, and all his little thoughts suddenly became unattractive to him. At this moment, Lu Ming's feelings were more important than all his own thoughts.

He carefully held Lu Ming's hand.Lu Ming turned his head to look at him, and his eyes were glued to his sincere, almost serious eyes.

After staring at each other for a long time, Lu Ming said, "It's okay, it's over."

Zhao Shuming didn't say a word, but he wanted to pass his body temperature to Lu Ming, and he clenched his hands even tighter.
