shadow in daylight gl

Day by day, Meng Qiu's condition gradually improved, and Xu Zhongxuan finally returned to work after resting on the half-moon surface of the hospital and spending time with his wife.

On the day Meng Qiu woke up, An Huaixu couldn't wait to call Lu Linzhong.This is a habit she has developed in the past six months. No matter what happens, she just wants to share her emotions with Lu Linzhong as soon as possible.

A woman's soft voice came, and she looked out of the window, feeling that everything is simple and the spring is bright.

The singing of warblers in March, the crisp rain in April, and the singing of frogs and cicadas in early May, time passes quietly inadvertently.

Life is back on track again. New home appliances and decorations are placed in their small home one by one. The green plants on the balcony are all carefully selected by her in the flower and bird market. The empty house has become full. And warm.

She stood quietly at the door, looking at everything in front of her, and suddenly felt that life was especially lovely.

Years ago, she planned to invite Xu Zhongxuan and Meng Qiu to celebrate the housewarming together on an auspicious day after the decoration was completed, but this year's circumstances are too special, so all the celebration banquets that can be avoided are still avoided.

An Huaixu rubbed the perpetual calendar, her birthday will be two days later, coincidentally, there is an extra leap in April this year, she had agreed with Lu Linzhong to have two birthdays, one for her and her, and one for her family and friends Let's celebrate together.

An Huaixu grasped the key to the door of the new house, and decided that on her birthday, she would like to give the prepared gift to Lu Linzhong, and then they will live here together, so that the lights in their house will become the lights of thousands of homes in the eyes of passers-by. one of them.

When Lu Linzhong was busy, he set aside a day to celebrate An Huaixu's birthday with him.

The night before, she kissed An Huaixu's forehead lightly, and asked An Huaixu what gift he wanted.An Huaixu only said that all the affairs of the next day should be decided by the birthday star.Although Lu Linzhong was puzzled, he let An Huaixu make arrangements.

On his birthday, An Huaixu took Lu Linzhong to the supermarket to buy fresh ingredients.

Lu Linzhong thought that An Huaixu just wanted to have a bland and lively birthday, so he didn't ask much.

Recently, An Huaixu has been much busier than her, and they haven't had the chance to cook together for a while, but they won't argue about it like before.

Maybe a good relationship is like this. Two people support each other, get up from the place where they fell, and walk over, and they will never fall in the same place again.

On the way back, An Huaixu drove the car, turned around on the way home, and drove into a new community with a low occupancy rate.

Lu Linzhong looked at her suspiciously, An Huaixu got out of the car and opened the door for Lu Linzhong, blinked and said mysteriously: "I have prepared a little surprise for you."

She raised her hand and gently scratched the tip of An Huaixu's nose: "I didn't even prepare a special gift for you, and you even prepared a surprise for me."

An Huaixu reached out to help Lu Linzhong carry the shopping bag, looked straight at Lu Linzhong's beautiful curves, and smiled a little badly: "The most special gift is you."

"Tch." Lu Linzhong snorted and raised the corner of his mouth.

"Hand out."

Lu Linzhong was puzzled, but he still listened to An Huaixu's words and stretched out his hand.A bunch of keys fell into her palm, with a red wooden sign engraved with peace and joy.

"This is?"

"You come with me."

Lu Linzhong took a step forward, followed An Huaixu into the elevator, and reached the 26th floor.The building has a layout of four households on one floor, which is unremarkable and nothing special.

An Huaixu stood still in front of one of the gates: "Here."

Lu Linzhong inserted the key into the lock, and with a "click", the anti-theft door opened.

The indoor light is bright, the warm yellow of sunlight, softly spread on the light beige floor stand in the living room, a bouquet of red roses is inserted in a transparent narrow-mouth bottle on the coffee table, the kitchen is made semi-open, and the light walnut-colored cabinets echo In addition to the light colors in the house, the house is small in size, but visually it is very open and clear.

Lu Linzhong turned his head in surprise, An Huaixu raised his face: "Are you satisfied?"

Lu Linzhong glared at her, "Here..."

"This is our home."

Lu Linzhong repeated An Huaixu's words: "Our home?"

An Huaixu led Lu Linzhong into the house, "I bought it with the money I earned and paid off the loan. Although it is small and ordinary, I designed every part of it by guessing your thoughts. "

Lu Linzhong's heart softened, and he looked around the house. There were a few photos of her hanging behind the sofa background wall. She seldom had the habit of taking pictures, and she didn't look at the camera in the photos, which might have been secretly taken by An Huaixu.

The technique is good, and she didn't make her ugly.

A large built-in bookcase was built in front of one side of the background wall, and An Huaixu filled it with books, including her favorite poetry collections and novels.

"You usually like to read when you are free. I have built a separate study room for you, and I have also made a bookcase in the living room, so that when I cook for you, I can see you when I look up."

Lu Linzhong walked to the balcony and could see Zhitian's building from a distance.

"It's not far from Zhitian, at most 10 minutes by car, when you go to work and I miss you, just take a look from here.

"

"I think if one day, my parents still can't accept you, I will move out of the house."

"Now we have our own home, if you feel tired one day and don't want to go to work, you can also rely on me. You just need to do what you want at home every day, and I can earn money to support you. I submitted my resume and received several offers. Although the salary is not high, the upper limit is still higher than the previous job of fishing in troubled waters. When I become a well-known lawyer, I will buy you a bigger house."

The warm sunshine stopped in Lu Linzhong's eyes. She never thought that An Huaixu would secretly arrange such a gift for her. She never told An Huaixu about her longing for home, but An Huaixu understood her. She has been filling her gaps all the time.

The south-facing windows and balconies, the warm sunshine in spring, the steamy kitchen, the corner with warm lighting, and the people she loves.

An Huaixu approached her and asked in a low voice: "Liu Liu, why don't you talk? Do you like it?"

Lu Linzhong wrapped his arms around An Huaixu's neck and leaned towards her, kissing her lightly.

It is both like and joy.

The warm sun in the morning elongated the shadows of the two of them.

Lu Linzhong's red lips parted slightly, the rosy and soft tip of his tongue matched the depth of his white teeth like jade.She unconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked her somewhat dry lips. Her lips were stained with thin water, like cherries washed with clean water, and the fragrance was attractive.

An Huaixu raised the curtains and hugged Lu Linzhong to the sofa. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he couldn't help approaching her lips: "Can I open the birthday present?"

An Huaixu couldn't wait to kiss Lu Linzhong's lips, snatching the other's breath, Lu Linzhong moaned shallowly, and her heart suddenly missed a beat.Using a little force with his fingertips, he unbuttoned Lu Linzhong's clothes, and the graceful scenery was looming. Lu Linzhong's skin was very white, and the luster from his skin made the sunlight through the window screen a bit eclipsed.

Lu Linzhong nodded, licked An Huaixu's earlobe, clasped her delicate and long neck with his weak hands, and said softly, "Happy birthday."

An Huaixu lightly bit Lu Linzhong's collarbone, and a low cry slipped out of his throat uncontrollably, a little drunk.

"By the way, I haven't seen the pendant you were wearing for a long time."

Lu Linzhong leaned on An Huaixu, and casually answered "Yes".

An Huaixu looked at her suspiciously.

"Concentrate."

An Huaixu delicately controlled the strength in his hands, and asked her, "Huh?"

Lu Linzhong couldn't help biting her collarbone forcefully, without elaborating.

"Hiss..." An Huaixu frowned, and played tricks on Lu Linzhong domineeringly, and tossed twice more.

Lu Linzhong couldn't stand it anymore, and wrapped her neck around her neck and said softly: "Well, I won't wear it if I don't have it. What's more"

Her eyes were warm, and she stared at An Huaixu, not to mention you were already by my side.

In the house with soft light, the two people are tender and lingering, as if they have shrunk their whole life in this small space, only her and her.

Not long after the birthday, the news of Meng Qiu and Xu Zhongxuan's divorce came. Although it happened suddenly, it was reasonable.Meng Qiu returned to Shanghai, and Xu Zhongxuan was busy working mechanically as he was a year ago.

The past time seems to be a past life.

In the blink of an eye, it was June again, on the day of An Huaixu's second birthday, he invited Jiang Mu and An Chengyan to have dinner together, but unfortunately, both of them were on a business trip.

Lu Linzhong held a birthday party for An Huaixu at Lanting Famous Villa, and invited a group of friends who had a good time to introduce each other.

Lu Linzhong invited Yi Ziyue, saying that he wanted to introduce Yi Ziyue to Xu Zhongxuan.

An Huaixu knew her thoughts and did not stop her.

That afternoon, Yi Ziyue rushed to Lanting Villa to help Lu Linzhong early in the name of helping to prepare wine and snacks. What Yi Ziyue was thinking, the two of them knew each other.

Blow out the candles, make a wish and cut the cake. Birthdays are celebrated every year, but this year there is someone who loves her by her side, so the cream cake that used to be too sweet has become extra delicious.

An Huaixu managed to avoid the wine toasted by everyone, and secretly kissed Lu Linzhong behind the house.An Huaixu touched Lu Linzhong's thin lips, pressed him against the Roman pillar, kissed him uncontrollably, and met a calm gaze unexpectedly.

Xu Zhongxuan:...

An Huaixu froze, and let go of Lu Linzhong.She really didn't mean to hurt a divorced woman.

Xu Zhongxuan turned his back in embarrassment, Lu Linzhong winked at An Huaixu, An Huaixu cleared his throat in embarrassment, and walked towards Xu Zhongxuan.

"Zhongxuan, let me introduce a classmate to you."

Yi Ziyue froze in place holding the red wine glass, listening to the footsteps behind him getting closer with his ears pricked up.

An Huaixu continued: "She was in the same class as us, but she was a special recruit, and she was only fifteen in her freshman year. The matter you asked me to investigate is actually mostly due to her."

Yi Ziyue pressed his fingertips hard, and tried his best to control his expression on his face.She hoped that when she turned her head away, she could give Xu Zhongxuan a good impression, maybe they...

"She is now a teacher of Jinhua, and she also opened a bar. You have been to Yunding Garden. I remember that you have a good impression of it. Don't you think it's time to introduce you as a classmate? It's also very rare." Fate..." An Huaixu faced Xu Zhongxuan's increasingly dull expression, and couldn't go on.

fate?

Xu Zhongxuan glanced at An Huaixu suspiciously, and quickly guessed what An Huaixu meant.Holding the wine glass, she turned to leave, but was grabbed by An Huaixu.

An Huaixu took a deep breath and shouted in another direction: "Student Yi, come here!"

The cup in Yi Ziyue's hand shook violently. She had never been so cowardly in her twenty years of life.

calm down.

As if turning around and facing the photos in the study, calm down.

With the light behind him, Xu Zhongxuan wore a white shirt with narrow sleeves and a pinched waist, with a circle of silver thread embroidered on the neckline. The watch was a classic OE model, elegant and dignified.

Her lips, her eyebrows, her eyes, the mole on her neck, her long black hair, they are all things that she is so familiar with that she has never owned before.

The gentle evening wind blew, blowing Xu Zhongxuan's hair, reminding Yi Ziyue again that what is in front of him is not a photo, but a person with breathing and warmth.

Facing the person he likes alone, no matter how restrained he is, the feelings in his heart will go out desperately, pressing the gourd to float up.

The moment Yi Ziyue looked at Xu Zhongxuan, Xu Zhongxuan also looked at her.

Yi Ziyue's fingertips trembled slightly. It turned out that she could also be watched by Xu Zhongxuan one day.

In the past thousands of days and nights, she passed by Xu Zhongxuan countless times, but Xu Zhongxuan already had another person in his eyes, so he couldn't see her.

In the past month, she was a temporary employee of Zhitian, and she felt very satisfied every day when she could see Xu Zhongxuan from a distance.

She has a lot of things to tell Xu Zhongxuan, about Jinhua, about Chicago, about the bar, about herself, as long as Xu Zhongxuan is willing to listen, she can keep talking.

If Xu Zhongxuan can give her a chance...

Holding the red wine glass, Xu Zhongxuan walked towards her first. Her heart was beating in her chest, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

Xu Zhongxuan smiled lightly, the corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile, his eyes, which were like cold stars and broken jade, were faint, cool, and without any emotion.

"Hello, you are the Yi Huai Xu mentioned." Xu Zhongxuan didn't know the name of the girl in front of him, and An Huai Xu didn't say it just now.

Yi Ziyue stretched out his right hand towards Xu Zhongxuan, "My name is Yi Ziyue."

Xu Zhongxuan lowered his eyes, lowered the wine glass in his hand and proactively touched the champagne glass in Yi Ziyue's hand.

She said, "Thank you, Boss Yi."

The cold and arrogant fragrance of white moss followed Xu Zhongxuan as she passed by her side, and floated into Yi Ziyue's nostrils.

She said thank you.

Xu Zhongxuan saw through the liking she had suppressed in her heart for eight years, and the other party was very polite and politely rejected her.

Thank you for what you have done, and thank you for your favor to me. Between you and me, what should be due is the exchange of interests between businessmen, not others.

Yi Ziyue looked at Xu Zhongxuan's back, thinking of the scene many years ago, she was as sad that day as today.

That afternoon, in the bookstore she opened, she hurriedly packed up her textbooks and was about to go to the Boxue Building to attend a lecture. The moment she ran out of the bookstore, she saw Xu Zhongxuan and Meng Qiu walking along the winding path full of magnolias from a distance.

With a beating heart, she stuffed the textbooks into her shoulder bag and hid in the lounge behind the bookstore.The image of Xu Zhongxuan just standing under the tree flashed in his mind. How could the outstanding jade tree in the complicated world compare to Xu Zhongxuan.

"The protagonist I like is like you." A pleasant female voice came from the door of the bookstore, and the person who spoke was not Xu Zhongxuan.

"I'm talking about temperament. According to the appearance described by the author, it should be closer to a star who debuted in recent years."

She secretly clenched her fists, and two figures appeared on the frosted glass in the lounge. Meng Qiu and Xu Zhongxuan walked into the small shop.

"Do you think this novel will be made into a film and television work after it becomes popular? The film and television adaptation of online literature is a big trend in recent years. If this is the case, I really hope that the protagonist will be played by Qin Shilai."

"Qin Shi, the guy from the Jincheng Film Academy next door to us is a serious actor in Tsing Yi, not a traffic star."

Holding on to the gray wall, she was overjoyed for a moment, and even couldn't wait to open the door, walked up to Xu Zhongxuan and said——I am the author of "Ning Chen"!Great, you are reading my novel, can we get to know each other?

She had already grasped the doorknob, desperately trying to get to Xu Zhongxuan's side.Then, she heard Meng Qiu say: "Do you think the protagonists in that book will be together? There is a gap between them, there is distrust, will they be able to come together in the future?"

"Yes." Xu Zhongxuan said.

"Let's make a bet, I don't think they will. I lose, I give you my first kiss, you lose your first kiss to me."

Xu Zhongxuan was silent.She was separated behind frosted glass, but she still clearly saw the shadow belonging to Xu Zhongxuan nodding slightly to Meng Qiu, and responded with a monosyllable: "Yes."

She petrified in place, and slowly let go of the doorknob.

She is really envious, even jealous.

Would Xu Zhongxuan hope to win this bet?

She knew better than anyone how much Xu Zhongxuan liked Meng Qiu. Since Xu Zhongxuan wanted to win, she should help Xu Zhongxuan.

However, before she finished writing the ending of the story, Xu Zhongxuan left the country.

When the memory came back, Xu Zhongxuan had disappeared from sight. She bit the tip of her tongue tightly, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked at the somewhat bleak night and told herself repeatedly, don't be cheap, don't be cheap.

She hadn't been rejected before, so she could still have a glimmer of hope, but now that she has been rejected, she should let it go.

It's time to end. In the past, her seemingly casual and free life had always revolved around one center—Xu Zhongxuan.

It really should be over.

She used to be a proud person, and she must still be in the future.

There were two thin figures standing on the balcony on the second floor. Lu Linzhong looked downstairs and sighed in disbelief: "Yi Ziyue was rejected after only talking to Mr. Xu?!"

An Huaixu gave her a sharp look, "What you said is too sarcastic."

"I'm clearly telling the truth." Lu Linzhong frowned slightly.

The sound of footsteps came, and the two looked at the stairs in unison.

Yi Zi said with reddened eyes: "I have something to do at school, so I'll go back first."

An Huaixu pointed to the downstairs: "The cake hasn't been cut yet, it was made by Lin Zhong himself, why don't you try it?"

"No." Yi Ziyue forced out a smile, and said to An Huaixu, "Happy birthday."

"Hey... Thank you." An Huaixu was in a daze, and before he could say anything, he turned and left.

Lu Linzhong stretched out his hand to grab An Huaixu, "You stay with the guests, I'll go out and see her."

Lu Linzhong followed Yi Ziyue and walked to the garden of the community. Yi Ziyue's figure was blocked by low bushes and rockery landscaping.

Heart-piercing and suppressed cries came from behind the rockery, Lu Linzhong stopped in his tracks, and couldn't bear to disturb him any longer.

The next day, Yi Ziyue went to the company to find Lu Linzhong and handed in his resignation.

With a swipe of his pen, Lu Linzhong signed his agreement on the resignation application.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah." Yi Zi said with a rustling voice, and Lu Linzhong didn't ask any more questions knowingly.

For several weeks in a row, Yi Zi said that Shenlong was not active in the social circle, nor did he contact Lu Linzhong and An Huaixu.

The author has something to say: Lu Linzhong: Boss Yi, as I said, you are not as lucky as I am.

Yi Zi said: "Alas."

The reasons for the breakup between Xu Zhongxuan and Meng Qiu in the last chapter, and Yi Ziyue’s student days in this chapter were all written in the previous book, so I won’t repeat them here if they have nothing to do with the protagonist.Curious babies who are interested can go and read "A Candle in the Night" (starting from Chapter 69), which is more abusive, so be careful.
