Chapter 13
I don't know how Fang Bining solved the dinner.When Lu Pengcheng passed by the convenience store, he bought himself some supper, and by the way helped Fang Bining bring a rice ball that he likes to eat.
When paying the bill, Lu Pengcheng suddenly became suspicious. He was very angry at Fang Bining's private contact with customers in the venue just now, but now, it doesn't look like he is going back to educate him. It looks like he still remembers to bring him a midnight snack.
Forget it, Lu Pengcheng smoothed things out for himself, so he didn't bring up work matters in his private time.
Going back with the things, before reaching the door, he heard the sound of "bang", "bang" coming from the door of his own room, Lu Pengcheng frowned slightly, what was Fang Bining doing?
He took out the key to open the door, and almost at the same time he entered, a group of colorful things "meow! meow!" rushed towards him.Lu Pengcheng couldn't dodge this time, and was hit by that thing. He looked down and couldn't help being taken aback.
Is it just Umi?The size and eye color are the same, but the coat color is wrong.
Lu Pengcheng stood at the door and stared at the strangely colored cat on the ground for a few seconds, then noticed a yellow mark on his pants, which seemed to be stuck with paint, so he looked up, After seeing the situation in the living room clearly, Lu Pengcheng almost thought he had gone to the wrong door.
The walls of the entire living room are covered with paint marks, the big ones are like the marks of a football hitting it, and the small ones look like plum blossoms. The floor is also a mess, with paint boxes and palettes thrown on the ground randomly.
"Umi! Where did you go..."
Fang Bining came out from the inside, also covered in colorful paint, even his face and hair were glued on. When he saw the one at Lu Pengcheng's feet, his eyes lit up, and he ran over and grabbed the "meow" "Miwu" screaming to catch the little guy who was about to run away.
"Hey, why are you so disobedient?"
"Mi-woo!"
Lu Pengcheng felt blue veins throbbing in his temple, he tried his best to keep his tone calm, "Fang Bining, what are you doing?"
Hearing the sound, Fang Bining probably noticed Lu Pengcheng who had been standing at the door for a long time, hugged Umi, with an apologetic expression on his face, "On the way back from taking Umi to see the doctor, I suddenly thought of the next event What kind of pattern should be used on the back panel, so I wanted to draw it quickly, but after I finished drawing, I realized that Umi had gotten into trouble..."
Lu Pengcheng noticed that there was indeed a pattern on the fallen drawing board, but his face was still extremely ugly. Even if he knew that it was not Fang Bining's fault, the scene in front of him was beyond his tolerance, but Lu Pengcheng He still tried his best to restrain himself, making his tone sound calmer.
"Fang Bining..."
Fang Bining hugged Umi and looked up at him. The young man in a loose T-shirt, his hair and face were stained with paint, his eyes were very clear, as if he was still a college student of an art academy.
The anger in Lu Pengcheng's heart calmed down a little, but now is not the time to give in. Since he wants to keep a pet, he must take care of it.How can you forget its existence because you are immersed in your own affairs?To what extent do you have to forget yourself so that Umi can only react after making the wall like that?
"Fang Bining, you can either send the cat away, or go find a house tomorrow, you decide." He separated Fang Bining with his hands and walked straight to his room.
Lu Pengcheng entered his room a little depressed, and when he closed the door with too much force, it made a loud noise, and then found that he walked in with his shoes on without even changing his slippers.
He took off his shoes and put them by the door, and just walked on the ground barefoot. When he put the car keys and wallet on the bedside table, he noticed the convenience store bag in his hand.
Lu Pengcheng looked at the bag, shook his hand, and threw it together with his own portion into the trash can by the door.
He felt that he was already full enough just to be angry, and he was really not in the mood to eat any more supper.
Afterwards, Lu Pengcheng never left his room except for taking a shower in the bathroom. He didn't call Fang Bining early the next morning, and went directly to the company by himself.
Everyone in the company could see that his complexion was not very good. Tony probably mistook it for the women's fashion show being screwed up, so he carefully asked him about the situation.
Lu Pengcheng didn't say anything, only told him that he had done a good job, and nothing else.So Tony, who came out of his office, didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
In fact, Lu Pengcheng himself is also very irritable. He has never been so difficult to clean up his emotions like now. Usually, no matter how bad his mood is, he will quickly restrain himself and try not to show it in front of his subordinates.
Because he firmly believes that as a decision-maker, even a slight emotional change will affect or shake the working mood of the people below him, so Lu Pengcheng is used to restraining his emotions and trying to maintain the image of a calm leader.
Recalling what Yolanda once said, after Fang Bining came, she showed other emotions more and more frequently.
Picking up the coffee on the table and taking a sip, Lu Pengcheng put aside his messy thoughts, turned on his laptop and started working.
Open Outlook, a series of new email prompts will pop up, look at the title of the email, the first email is from the group executive, it is about some precautions for the senior management of each branch to go to Singapore for training; and then there is the activity summary meeting sent by Tony The notice of the time, as well as the details of the activities of the "Cinderella City" October Bridal Romantic Wedding Dress Show sent by other groups, and the preparation progress of the "Magic Wardrobe" themed event.
Lu Pengcheng clicked on an envelope to read it. He had just seen the event about the wedding dress show when the phone on his desk rang. After answering it, he heard Tony's voice.
"Pancho, isn't Aning here?"
Lu Pengcheng frowned.
"What do you want from him? He didn't ask me for leave, and he will probably come later."
"Oh." Tony's voice showed a bit of regret, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I want him to look at some live props of the wedding show."
"Tony, your planning and designer can decide, you don't need to go through him."
"No, they probably thought it would be better to show it to Aning, I know, that's it."
Just as Lu Pengcheng put down the phone, it rang again. When he picked it up, another person was looking for Fang Bining. Lu Pengcheng didn't even know that Fang Bining was so popular in the company.
But thinking about it carefully, Fang Bining seemed to get along very well with those programmers when he was in Xunyang. When he was hired to Guangyan, those programmers also expressed their reluctance.
It is not a bad thing to get along well with colleagues around you, but too much harmony will also bury a lot of hidden dangers. For example, when you leave, you will take away colleagues who have a better relationship or have a tacit cooperation. Although this is a common thing, and the previous Creative Director Herry did this when he left, and Lu Pengcheng does not want this to happen again.
Vaguely, thinking that if Fang Bining quits, Lu Pengcheng will feel a little uncomfortable.
When the phone rang for the third time, Lu Pengcheng's voice showed a little impatience.
"Hey?"
"Pancho, I'm Fang Bining..."
Fang Bining's clear voice sounded from the other end of the phone, a little hoarse and lacking in energy, Lu Pengcheng felt his chest throbbing.
"What's up?"
"Umi...have already sent it to Ajie, I am also looking for a house...you can live outside for two days, because the traces on the wall are more difficult to deal with, but I will try my best..."
Fang Bining paused for a moment, and then added, "I'm really sorry."
For a moment, Lu Pengcheng actually felt a bit guilty. He always felt that something that was not particularly serious had suddenly become serious to him. Take it back, so Lu Pengcheng just made his tone sound more peaceful.
"It's okay, then I'll live outside for two days first, if you come to the company to help me bring these things..."
He thought that Fang Bining would probably repaint the place where the paint was applied. In fact, there was no need to do so. He had planned to redecorate the apartment at the end of the year, but given his tough attitude last night, Lu Pengcheng felt that this It was a bit embarrassing to back down, so I decided to spend two days outside as he said.
I reported some needed things and a change of clothes to the other party. Every time he said something, Fang Bining said "um", and when he couldn't think of anything else to take, Fang Bining said that he would take these things in the afternoon When I brought it to the company, I hung up the phone.
Lu Pengcheng stared at the receiver in his hand for a moment, he seemed to hear an emotion called hurt from Fang Bining's voice, but he was not sure...
In the afternoon, I had a final confirmation meeting with the team in charge of the wedding dress show. After the end, Lu Pengcheng returned to the office and found a luggage bag beside his desk. It was the one he usually used. It should have been sent to him by Fang Bining Yes, there is a chocolate pudding on the desk, the very cute packaging, and the surrounding documents and office supplies full of masculinity and rigid design, forming a very abrupt contrast, which feels a bit ridiculous.
Lu Pengcheng sat on the chair, reached for the pudding and looked at it.
He never ate this kind of food, but when Fang Bining lived in his apartment, he saw him buy a bunch of different flavors and put them in the refrigerator. Sometimes after dinner, he would see him sticking his whole head out. Digging in the fridge, or sitting cross-legged on the couch looking at a laptop with one in hand.
He put down the pudding, got up and walked outside the office, and asked Yolanda, "Did you see Fang Bining?"
Yolanda blinked blankly, then shook her head.
"No, he doesn't seem to be here today." She frowned, showing something suspicious, "Pancho, the quarrel between you and Banning is getting more and more fierce? This can't be done, you two should get along with each other quickly." That's fine."
Lu Pengcheng felt that he could no longer communicate with his assistant secretary on earth, so he turned around and went to the office to get a cigarette, then went to the tea room to smoke.
It was obvious that he and Fang Bining were having an unpleasant fight because of a little disagreement and trivial matters in life, but Yolanda said that the two seemed to be arguing very badly, and after saying it twice, even he himself was a little confused. The illusion of arguing with Fang Bining.But it's really not a big deal...
It was only because there was an inexplicable relationship between the two of them that it became complicated. There was no way to solve the problem as usual with a work partner, and it would always involve other emotions, which made him unable to calm down and think. It feels as if the whole person is disturbed.
Lu Pengcheng felt a little headache when he heard the footsteps of several people from the corridor.
"Maxim, didn't you say that you have the opportunity to enter the famous A in Singapore? Why don't you go?"
"At the beginning, I thought things here were rigid and lifeless, but it's much better now, and I feel good after staying for a while, especially Director Fang."
"Really? I also think it's good. Director Fang is a very thoughtful person. His thoughts and ideas are completely different from what he learned in school, but they are more useful."
"Yeah, I think, if I can learn from Director Fang for two years, I will definitely improve my ability a lot."
"Then jump to a better company."
"Of course, are you willing to stay in this small company for the rest of your life? Although it is a good company, who would not want to go if there is a better place?"
"That's why I wonder why people like Director Fang stay here."
"Maybe...he thinks this is closer to home?"
"Hehehe, what a cold joke."
The people who spoke were freshly graduated interns recruited in the summer. They passed by the pantry and then gradually walked away. They should have gone to the bathroom at the end of the corridor. Their voices were not loud, but Lu Pengcheng was still about heard what they were saying.
Lu Pengcheng pinched off the cigarette and walked out of the tea room, feeling a little complicated. Fang Bining's talent can make these fledgling and pretentious little ghosts willing to work for him. It is not a charm, but another On the one hand, it seems that the hidden dangers he is worried about still exist.
Maybe one day, Fang Bining's thought or action will destroy Guangyan.
In the next few days, Lu Pengcheng never saw Fang Bining, either Fang Bining was not there when he was in the company, or he was not in the company when Fang Bining was.
After connecting to the Internet in the hotel at night, seeing that Fang Bining was still online, Lu Pengcheng clicked on his profile picture several times, but after the dialog box opened, he didn't know what to say and closed the dialog box.
Maybe he shouldn't be so relieved to leave Fang Bining at his home to clean up, or he should stay and do it with him. It's obviously his own apartment, but he can't go back. It's weird, but the two of them seem to be Lacking such an opportunity, no one opened it, so the matter was so stalemate there, not going up or down, making Lu Pengcheng feel as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, so uncomfortable that he couldn't do anything too much. .
The theme event of "Cinderella City" October Bride Romantic Wedding Dress Show will last for about ten days. On the opening day of the event, Lu Pengcheng received a notice from the group that the training in Singapore has to be moved ahead of schedule due to the project schedule of several other companies. I have to board the plane the day after tomorrow.
The visa and air ticket are all ready, and Lu Pengcheng has been busy for a whole day and night before arranging all the company's affairs.
Originally, the training happened between the two activities. Now that one activity has just started, some details of the other activity need to be revised. At this time, it is false to let him go, saying that he is worried, although Tony and several other project managers are very good. It's just that Lu Pengcheng is the kind of person who won't rest assured unless the coefficient of risks and mistakes is minimized.
After not sleeping all night, Lu Pengcheng was tired and went to the hotel to pack his things and check out the room, and then drove home immediately to pack the things to bring to Singapore.Along the way, he only felt that his mind was blank and he didn't think about anything. He turned up the sound to the loudest and tried not to fall asleep.
In short, Lu Pengcheng had never done such a dangerous thing in his lifetime.
When I returned to the apartment where I lived, I found that the big iron door of the apartment was not closed tightly, and there was a leak, so Lu Pengcheng pushed the door and walked in, and was stunned for the next moment...
The furniture in the living room is covered with a layer of white cloth, but some places have been painted colorfully. There is a simple aluminum alloy staircase in the living room. Fang Bining is sitting on the top of the ladder with a drawing board and paintbrush. Concentrate on dabbing on the wall.
It was originally a white wall, with yellow and brown paint rubbed over it, but at this moment, these are all gone, what Lu Pengcheng saw was a gorgeous picture, the abstract pattern seems to be depicting the golden wheat field The slowly setting sun is like a large piece of blooming sunflowers stretching to the sky, with casual and exaggerated strokes and harmonious colors.
The momentary visual shock caused Lu Pengcheng to stand there silently for a long time.
Fang Bining stopped writing, tilted his head to look at the place he had just finished painting, and then planned to climb down from the ladder, when he turned around, he saw Lu Pengcheng standing beside him with a surprised expression.
"Pancho, why are you back suddenly?" He climbed down from the ladder and walked to Lu Pengcheng.
"At first, I wanted to finish painting everything and show it to you, but now it's not too bad. Originally, I planned to repaint the dirty places, but then I thought about it, the color tone of this apartment is only black and white, so I painted it. In this way, it can neutralize the dull tone."
After Fang Bining finished speaking, he grabbed the white cloth covering the furniture with both hands and shook it vigorously.
The white cloth flutters like a flying butterfly, and slowly stops, so between black and white, the warm-colored painting seems to be injected with life, beating slowly, making the original square space infinite stretch out.
The expressive force full of infinite yearning and hope moved Lu Pengcheng for a moment, but what followed were various voices.
"Please trust Aning, he can create miracles."
"But Ah Ning is really the most talented designer I have ever seen."
"But the problems that Banning will expose, as long as ordinary people will have them. Pancho, you are the more abnormal one."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I want him to look at some live props of the wedding dress show."
"Yes, I think that if I can study with Director Fang for two years, I will definitely improve my abilities a lot."
"That's why I wonder why people like Director Fang stay here."
"Fang Bining", "Fang Bining", the three words "Fang Bining" from different people's mouths were congested in Lu Pengcheng's exhausted brain, and he felt that everything was messed up. Sliding down in a direction not under his control, sliding down, and finally even his own life was invaded by this person.
He looked up at the almost magnificent painting on the wall, narrowed his eyes, then opened them wide again, the expression on his face became more and more tense, the muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled, and finally burst out.
"Enough!" Lu Pengcheng yelled, "Fang Bining, can you stop intruding into other people's work and life and messing up other people's lives? I don't want this at all. If you don’t understand something, can you give me a space that only belongs to me?”
After Lu Pengcheng yelled, he took the luggage and went into his room, poured out all the contents as if venting, then opened the closet and took out the suitcase, then took a few sets of clothes and stuffed them into the suitcase, and closed them tightly. Dragging the suitcase out of the apartment.
When Lu Pengcheng left, he didn't notice that Fang Bining had been standing in the living room from the beginning to the end, and even his hands were still maintaining the movement when he lifted the white cloth. He also didn't notice that when the apartment door was closed, Leaked from the crack of the closed door, the eyes of the young man who turned to look at him were full of complicated and indescribable loneliness.
Then the iron door of the apartment closed with a "bang", like a sharp sword, cutting off Fang Bining's sight, but from the beginning to the end, Lu Pengcheng didn't take a look at it, or, when he saw it, he was caught That unknown so-called anger was completely burned out, and there was nothing left.
The training in Singapore lasted for seven days. Since the hotel where I stayed was not very convenient to use the Internet, the schedule for these seven days was also very tight. Lu Pengcheng did not have much free time to contact the country, and once he came out, those worries became more serious. Not so important anymore.
Lu Pengcheng began to take a break from his busy schedule to treat this overseas training as a vacation, enjoying the comfort of the slightly humid wind blowing under the blue to clear sky.
As soon as he calmed down, he would think of what happened in the apartment before he left. At that time, Lu Pengcheng couldn't explain why he wanted to get angry with Fang Bining. Maybe it was because his presumptuous assertion once again stepped on his thunder point ,but……
It is undeniable that the painting on the wall is really contagious, just like the plans and ideas that Fang Bining once did, people can't help but be attracted by the charm displayed in it, and even fall into it after falling into it. Inextricable.
It's just that my mood was too chaotic at that time, coupled with the lack of sleep, so I had a bad mood...
Lu Pengcheng thought, let's talk to Fang Bining when we go back, it's not good to always be like this, it will affect each other's work.
Probably with a little imperceptible apology, besides buying a lot of cosmetics for her according to Yolanda's instructions, Lu Pengcheng also specially picked out a small gift for Fang Bining, which was placed on the table. A metal shelf that is less than palm height, leaves made of green rhinestones, and a magnet underneath that can be attracted to the metal shelf.
It's not particularly creative, but when I saw that leaf, I couldn't help but think of Fang Bining. Although I have a good relationship with my colleagues around me, but sometimes I feel a sense of loneliness that doesn't fit in with my surroundings. It seems to be free, without any support, like a fallen leaf with nowhere to go.
It happened to be the weekend when he came back from Singapore. Lu Pengcheng returned to his apartment, took a deep breath before opening the door, tried to adjust his emotions, and then opened the door with the key.
Walked in, turned on the light, and then Lu Pengcheng stood there again in a daze.
The paintings on the wall disappeared and returned to a spotless white, which dazzled so much under the light. Lu Pengcheng called out "Fang Bining" in some doubts, but no one answered him. The room was empty. It was deserted, like any night spent alone before, without the breath of others.
Lu Pengcheng took off his shoes and went to the guest room before he could change into slippers.
The place was tidied up very cleanly, as if no one had ever lived in it. Fang Bining's clothes in the closet were gone, and in the kitchen and bathroom, all the daily necessities Fang Bining bought had disappeared, not even left behind. Any traces of other people living in this apartment, it seems that Lu Pengcheng has always been the only one, and Fang Bining, together with his aura, has completely disappeared from this apartment.
When paying the bill, Lu Pengcheng suddenly became suspicious. He was very angry at Fang Bining's private contact with customers in the venue just now, but now, it doesn't look like he is going back to educate him. It looks like he still remembers to bring him a midnight snack.
Forget it, Lu Pengcheng smoothed things out for himself, so he didn't bring up work matters in his private time.
Going back with the things, before reaching the door, he heard the sound of "bang", "bang" coming from the door of his own room, Lu Pengcheng frowned slightly, what was Fang Bining doing?

"Fang Bining, you can either send the cat away, or go find a house tomorrow, you decide." He separated Fang Bining with his hands and walked straight to his room.
Lu Pengcheng entered his room a little depressed, and when he closed the door with too much force, it made a loud noise, and then found that he walked in with his shoes on without even changing his slippers.

"Really? I also think it's good. Director Fang is a very thoughtful person. His thoughts and ideas are completely different from what he learned in school, but they are more useful."
"Yeah, I think, if I can learn from Director Fang for two years, I will definitely improve my ability a lot."
"Then jump to a better company."
"Of course, are you willing to stay in this small company for the rest of your life? Although it is a good company, who would not want to go if there is a better place?"
"That's why I wonder why people like Director Fang stay here."
"Maybe...he thinks this is closer to home?"
"Hehehe, what a cold joke."
The people who spoke were freshly graduated interns recruited in the summer. They passed by the pantry and then gradually walked away. They should have gone to the bathroom at the end of the corridor. Their voices were not loud, but Lu Pengcheng was still about heard what they were saying.
Lu Pengcheng pinched off the cigarette and walked out of the tea room, feeling a little complicated. Fang Bining's talent can make these fledgling and pretentious little ghosts willing to work for him. It is not a charm, but another On the one hand, it seems that the hidden dangers he is worried about still exist.
Maybe one day, Fang Bining's thought or action will destroy Guangyan.
In the next few days, Lu Pengcheng never saw Fang Bining, either Fang Bining was not there when he was in the company, or he was not in the company when Fang Bining was.
After connecting to the Internet in the hotel at night, seeing that Fang Bining was still online, Lu Pengcheng clicked on his profile picture several times, but after the dialog box opened, he didn't know what to say and closed the dialog box.
Maybe he shouldn't be so relieved to leave Fang Bining at his home to clean up, or he should stay and do it with him. It's obviously his own apartment, but he can't go back. It's weird, but the two of them seem to be Lacking such an opportunity, no one opened it, so the matter was so stalemate there, not going up or down, making Lu Pengcheng feel as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, so uncomfortable that he couldn't do anything too much. .
The theme event of "Cinderella City" October Bride Romantic Wedding Dress Show will last for about ten days. On the opening day of the event, Lu Pengcheng received a notice from the group that the training in Singapore has to be moved ahead of schedule due to the project schedule of several other companies. I have to board the plane the day after tomorrow.
The visa and air ticket are all ready, and Lu Pengcheng has been busy for a whole day and night before arranging all the company's affairs.
Originally, the training happened between the two activities. Now that one activity has just started, some details of the other activity need to be revised. At this time, it is false to let him go, saying that he is worried, although Tony and several other project managers are very good. It's just that Lu Pengcheng is the kind of person who won't rest assured unless the coefficient of risks and mistakes is minimized.
After not sleeping all night, Lu Pengcheng was tired and went to the hotel to pack his things and check out the room, and then drove home immediately to pack the things to bring to Singapore.Along the way, he only felt that his mind was blank and he didn't think about anything. He turned up the sound to the loudest and tried not to fall asleep.
In short, Lu Pengcheng had never done such a dangerous thing in his lifetime.
When I returned to the apartment where I lived, I found that the big iron door of the apartment was not closed tightly, and there was a leak, so Lu Pengcheng pushed the door and walked in, and was stunned for the next moment...
The furniture in the living room is covered with a layer of white cloth, but some places have been painted colorfully. There is a simple aluminum alloy staircase in the living room. Fang Bining is sitting on the top of the ladder with a drawing board and paintbrush. Concentrate on dabbing on the wall.
It was originally a white wall, with yellow and brown paint rubbed over it, but at this moment, these are all gone, what Lu Pengcheng saw was a gorgeous picture, the abstract pattern seems to be depicting the golden wheat field The slowly setting sun is like a large piece of blooming sunflowers stretching to the sky, with casual and exaggerated strokes and harmonious colors.
The momentary visual shock caused Lu Pengcheng to stand there silently for a long time.
Fang Bining stopped writing, tilted his head to look at the place he had just finished painting, and then planned to climb down from the ladder, when he turned around, he saw Lu Pengcheng standing beside him with a surprised expression.
"Pancho, why are you back suddenly?" He climbed down from the ladder and walked to Lu Pengcheng.
"At first, I wanted to finish painting everything and show it to you, but now it's not too bad. Originally, I planned to repaint the dirty places, but then I thought about it, the color tone of this apartment is only black and white, so I painted it. In this way, it can neutralize the dull tone."
After Fang Bining finished speaking, he grabbed the white cloth covering the furniture with both hands and shook it vigorously.
The white cloth flutters like a flying butterfly, and slowly stops, so between black and white, the warm-colored painting seems to be injected with life, beating slowly, making the original square space infinite stretch out.
The expressive force full of infinite yearning and hope moved Lu Pengcheng for a moment, but what followed were various voices.
"Please trust Aning, he can create miracles."
"But Ah Ning is really the most talented designer I have ever seen."
"But the problems that Banning will expose, as long as ordinary people will have them. Pancho, you are the more abnormal one."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I want him to look at some live props of the wedding dress show."
"Yes, I think that if I can study with Director Fang for two years, I will definitely improve my abilities a lot."
"That's why I wonder why people like Director Fang stay here."
"Fang Bining", "Fang Bining", the three words "Fang Bining" from different people's mouths were congested in Lu Pengcheng's exhausted brain, and he felt that everything was messed up. Sliding down in a direction not under his control, sliding down, and finally even his own life was invaded by this person.
He looked up at the almost magnificent painting on the wall, narrowed his eyes, then opened them wide again, the expression on his face became more and more tense, the muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled, and finally burst out.
"Enough!" Lu Pengcheng yelled, "Fang Bining, can you stop intruding into other people's work and life and messing up other people's lives? I don't want this at all. If you don’t understand something, can you give me a space that only belongs to me?”
After Lu Pengcheng yelled, he took the luggage and went into his room, poured out all the contents as if venting, then opened the closet and took out the suitcase, then took a few sets of clothes and stuffed them into the suitcase, and closed them tightly. Dragging the suitcase out of the apartment.
When Lu Pengcheng left, he didn't notice that Fang Bining had been standing in the living room from the beginning to the end, and even his hands were still maintaining the movement when he lifted the white cloth. He also didn't notice that when the apartment door was closed, Leaked from the crack of the closed door, the eyes of the young man who turned to look at him were full of complicated and indescribable loneliness.
Then the iron door of the apartment closed with a "bang", like a sharp sword, cutting off Fang Bining's sight, but from the beginning to the end, Lu Pengcheng didn't take a look at it, or, when he saw it, he was caught That unknown so-called anger was completely burned out, and there was nothing left.
The training in Singapore lasted for seven days. Since the hotel where I stayed was not very convenient to use the Internet, the schedule for these seven days was also very tight. Lu Pengcheng did not have much free time to contact the country, and once he came out, those worries became more serious. Not so important anymore.
Lu Pengcheng began to take a break from his busy schedule to treat this overseas training as a vacation, enjoying the comfort of the slightly humid wind blowing under the blue to clear sky.
As soon as he calmed down, he would think of what happened in the apartment before he left. At that time, Lu Pengcheng couldn't explain why he wanted to get angry with Fang Bining. Maybe it was because his presumptuous assertion once again stepped on his thunder point ,but……
It is undeniable that the painting on the wall is really contagious, just like the plans and ideas that Fang Bining once did, people can't help but be attracted by the charm displayed in it, and even fall into it after falling into it. Inextricable.
It's just that my mood was too chaotic at that time, coupled with the lack of sleep, so I had a bad mood...
Lu Pengcheng thought, let's talk to Fang Bining when we go back, it's not good to always be like this, it will affect each other's work.
Probably with a little imperceptible apology, besides buying a lot of cosmetics for her according to Yolanda's instructions, Lu Pengcheng also specially picked out a small gift for Fang Bining, which was placed on the table. A metal shelf that is less than palm height, leaves made of green rhinestones, and a magnet underneath that can be attracted to the metal shelf.
It's not particularly creative, but when I saw that leaf, I couldn't help but think of Fang Bining. Although I have a good relationship with my colleagues around me, but sometimes I feel a sense of loneliness that doesn't fit in with my surroundings. It seems to be free, without any support, like a fallen leaf with nowhere to go.
It happened to be the weekend when he came back from Singapore. Lu Pengcheng returned to his apartment, took a deep breath before opening the door, tried to adjust his emotions, and then opened the door with the key.
Walked in, turned on the light, and then Lu Pengcheng stood there again in a daze.
The paintings on the wall disappeared and returned to a spotless white, which dazzled so much under the light. Lu Pengcheng called out "Fang Bining" in some doubts, but no one answered him. The room was empty. It was deserted, like any night spent alone before, without the breath of others.
Lu Pengcheng took off his shoes and went to the guest room before he could change into slippers.
The place was tidied up very cleanly, as if no one had ever lived in it. Fang Bining's clothes in the closet were gone, and in the kitchen and bathroom, all the daily necessities Fang Bining bought had disappeared, not even left behind. Any traces of other people living in this apartment, it seems that Lu Pengcheng has always been the only one, and Fang Bining, together with his aura, has completely disappeared from this apartment.
