scar

Thinking of what Zhang Yucheng said before, the corners of Ni Lu's mouth curved slightly.

Getting a haircut is indeed something that Ni Lu must have done, but it was the first time he went to a shop to get a haircut, and it was still such an expensive shop.The most common haircuts are those of uncles who can get a haircut by putting a chair and a mirror on the side of the road, and the haircut will not exceed ten yuan at a time.The last time I had my hair cut was when school started, the seniors at the barber shop gave it to me for free.

How should I put it, there is a reason why it is expensive. It is not an exaggeration to cut a hair and change a head or something.

Although the girls who gave Ni Lu things have never stopped since he was in junior high school, but Ni Lu never thinks he is handsome or good-looking. To be confident, he looks a little above average.Anyway, he is definitely not at the same level as Zhang Yucheng.

In the past, Ni Lu thought that a haircut was just to make himself look less sloppy and a bit human, but now he knows that a haircut can indeed change a person's appearance and even temperament.

After cutting his hair, when he stood up and faced the mirror, the person in the mirror made Ni Lu feel overwhelmed for a while.

Is this him?

Bi stylist did cut his fringe short, but he still parted it so that it would not block his eyes, but such a pile of hair is located near the corner of his eye, making people think that the scar at the corner of his eye is a fringe Extended, so that people will not be able to see that this is a scar at a glance.

I don't know how to do it, but the stylist's skillful hands made Ni Lu feel for the first time that he is actually pretty good-looking.

Thinking of this, Ni Lu couldn't help asking the driver, "Why did you come here to get your hair cut?"

Zhang Yucheng said, "My sister-in-law recommended it."

Ni Lu: "..."

Zhang Yucheng glanced at him with a smile, "My sister-in-law is a public figure, she has to take care of herself frequently, and she has a high demand for this aspect. She must know more than me, so I asked her for help."

Good guy, it's just a haircut, have you asked your sister-in-law for help?

Ni Lu unconsciously picked his nails with his fingers, and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome..."

Zhang Yucheng said: "Other times it can make do, but not today."

why?

Ni Lu looked at Zhang Yucheng.

He couldn't understand the meaning of these words for a while, Zhang Yucheng looked over and saw the confusion in his eyes, but he just smiled and didn't explain.

Ni Lu had no choice but to change the subject: "Where are you going next?"

Thinking that Zhang Yucheng would let him guess again, he glanced at the time on the car display and said, "Hurry up, let's go have lunch."

The place for lunch was a Thai restaurant with an exotic decoration style. Zhang Yucheng made a reservation for a small private room, and only started ordering after sitting down.

Thai cuisine mainly focuses on seafood. The taste is very refreshing, sour, hot, and spicy. It is very appetizing in summer. In winter, sitting in a well-heated room, simmering Tom Yum Kung soup on a low fire, is also very satisfying.

After eating and drinking, he walked out of the restaurant. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon and almost three o'clock in the afternoon. When he got in the car, Zhang Yucheng said to Ni Lu, "Take a nap in the car, and I'll wake you up when we arrive."

Ni Lu asked: "Will it take a long time?"

Zhang Yucheng took out his phone to check the time, "We should be there before 05:30."

"Where are you going?"

Zhang Yucheng didn't hide it this time, "Do you still remember the last time I said I would take you to a hot spring?"

Ni Lu understood.

Zhang Yucheng said: "You have been busy for a few days, take a dip in the hot spring to relax."

Ni Lu has nothing to do, he has never soaked in a hot spring, so he naturally wants to try it.

But if you want to soak in hot springs, why not go to the outskirts of the city? After all, there is no way to dig out hot springs in the urban area.

Although Zhang Yucheng asked Ni Lu to rest, Ni Lu didn't sleep. He knew that drivers would get tired easily, and Zhang Yucheng would drive for more than two hours. Rather than resting, Ni Lu would rather talk to Zhang Yucheng to divert his attention, so that He won't be too tired to drive.

More than two hours sounds long, but someone can accompany you to pass the time, especially if this person is still the one in your heart, more than two hours is just a blink of an eye.

The winter sky darkened early, when the sky turned into a dark blue curtain with gray and white edges, Zhang Yucheng said to Ni Lu: "It's almost here."

Ni Lu looked at the shadows of trees outside the window.

The car was still driving up the winding mountain road, and a dim street light flashed by the side of the road from time to time. Since the car drove into this densely vegetated mountain forest, Ni Lu has not seen other vehicles passing by.

Ni Lu asked: "Are we going to a hot spring hotel?"

Zhang Yucheng said, "It's not a hotel."

Ni Lu thought for a while: "B&B?"

Zhang Yucheng didn't continue to play tricks, "I have a house here."

Ni Lu shut up.

Zhang Yucheng explained: "I will come and live for a while during holidays or if I have nothing to do."

Ni Lu let out a quiet "Oh".

Zhang Yucheng continued: "There are indeed hot spring hotels and homestays here, as well as private houses like mine, but the way to the hotels and homestays is not this way."

Ni Lu nodded, expressing his understanding.

Ni Lu thought in his heart that Zhang Yucheng's arrangement was probably to go to his house to put away his things, change his clothes, and then go to the hot spring hotel to soak in the hot springs. They are all on the same mountain, so it must not be far away.

The car finally stopped in the yard of a house. After getting out of the car, Ni Lu carried his backpack and looked at the house in front of him with a good eye.

At any rate, after studying architectural design for more than half a semester, Ni Lu can more or less see the aesthetics of a building.

Regarding the house in front of him, from the appearance and the garden design and layout beside it, Ni Lu had to admire in his heart, it was so suitable and perfect, it was simply a work of art.

Zhang Yucheng came to him with the car keys and asked, "How?"

Ni Lu looked at Zhang Yucheng, seeing the dots of lights in the yard, and he said sincerely, "It's beautiful."

Zhang Yucheng put the car keys in his trouser pocket, "Seven years ago, there was an architectural design competition. The contestants were all young architects of the year, and the location was this mountain. The house in front of you is the third prize of the year."

This is the third prize?

Ni Lu was startled, and once again realized the gap between a student at school and a professional architect.

Ni Lu couldn't help asking: "Then what is No.2 like?"

Zhang Yucheng smiled, and said the names of the architects who won No. 2 that year.

Ni Lu: "..."

Fine.

understood.

These two were indeed cutting-edge architects seven years ago, but seven years later, these two are sometimes used by their mentors as examples to motivate them. They are architects who have won many world-class architectural design awards. .

In such a place, there are so many well-known architects participating. As a student majoring in architectural design, Ni Lu has heard of this competition, but he never imagined that he would actually stand in this place.Zhang Yucheng mentioned the name of the No. 2 architect. No. 3 needn't be mentioned by him. Ni Lu already knows which architect is the designer of the building in front of him.

Even if he only won No.3 back then, his status in the architect industry is no worse than the first two.

Thinking of this, Ni Lu didn't know which leg to walk on for a while, and stood there looking at the house that was not very different from a work of art, and didn't move for a long time.

Knowing about Ni Lu's mood, Zhang Yucheng simply took his hand and walked towards the gate.

"Let's go to the house first. If you drag it on, you don't know what time you can have dinner. There is plenty of time to look at the house. I have nothing to do tomorrow. I will take you to the neighborhood. The design works of many architects are equivalent to an architectural feast, and many architectural students come to visit every year."

Ni Lu asked: "Is this place free to visit?"

Zhang Yucheng took out the key to open the door: "The open part can be visited, but the private residence is not allowed."

Zhang Yucheng told Ni Lu that after the competition that year, all the buildings here were auctioned off, some were converted into hotels and homestays, and some became private residences.

Hearing this, Ni Lu couldn't help but ask a very vulgar, but really curious question: "Such a house is not cheap to photograph, is it?"

Although this master was only an architect in his early thirties back then, and his reputation was not as famous as it is now, but just the title of winning the competition can cause the price of this house to remain high, let alone the architect The reputation is not low.

Zhang Yucheng said, "I don't know about that."

Ni Lu: "What?"

Zhang Yucheng opened the door with the key, turned his head and smiled at him, "This house was given to me by my grandfather."

Ni Lu: "..."

After entering the house, when the lights are turned on, it is another world.

In fact, Zhang Yucheng’s villa near the school is quite well decorated, but there is still an essential difference between a house designed by developers in a unified way and a unique house designed by architects for the competition.

The unique appearance of the house is eye-opening, and the various space designs inside the house are even more eye-opening.

The house doesn't look very big from the outside, but because of the designer's various ingenuity, the first time you enter the house, you will feel that the whole space is very open.In the entrance, the screen made of bamboo and wood, including the raised wooden floor, is full of surprises. Through the screen, you can even vaguely see the landscape behind the house.

When Ni Lu entered the house, he basically couldn't care about anything else. He turned his head to look at Zhang Yucheng, and after getting a nod from him with a smile, he put on his slippers and started wandering around the room. The bag he brought was still taken by Zhang Yucheng to help him It is arranged, others are completely dazzled in this house.

The first floor didn't even miss the yard, and he went up to the second floor after visiting Ni Lu. The second floor was also open, and it took a lot of time to finish the shopping. Finally, Ni Lu saw Zhang Yucheng who was packing clothes by the bed behind a screen.

Zhang Yucheng was wearing a bathrobe, and when he saw Ni Lu coming over, he smiled at him, "Have you finished watching?"

Ni Lu leaned against the screen, nodded, "Yeah."

Zhang Yucheng handed him the bathrobe and said, "Put on the bathrobe, and I'll take you to the hot spring."

Ni Lu didn't think much about it, took the bathrobe, and went into the bathroom to change into the bathrobe under Zhang Yucheng's signal.

When he came out, he found Zhang Yucheng leaning against the door of the bathroom, with the same clothes on his body. Before Ni Lu could speak, Zhang Yucheng put a coat on Ni Lu, and took his hand, "Let's go."

Ni Lu asked him strangely: "Aren't you going to change your clothes?"

Zhang Yucheng said: "You soak first, I'll deal with some things first."

Ni Lu didn't ask any more questions, but followed him downstairs, walked to the backyard, opened a small door, and as soon as he entered, he saw a pool of steaming hot springs.

Ni Lu: "..."

Ni Lu did visit the backyard just now, but who would have thought that the small door in the backyard is not the back door, but the entrance to the hot spring!

Zhang Yucheng just stood at the entrance and didn't go in again, saying: "The shower room is over there. It's best to take a shower after soaking in the hot spring. There are also clean bathrobes and towels inside."

"it is good."

"You soak alone first, and I'll come to you after I've dealt with the matter."

Ni Lu had no objection, and nodded: "Well, go get busy."

As soon as Zhang Yucheng left and the door was closed, Ni Lu was left alone beside the whole hot spring pool.

Ni Lu didn't go into the water immediately, but stood there and looked around first.

The hot spring pool is semi-outdoor. Even if it rains or snows, the glass roof allows people in the hot spring pool to take a comfortable bath without being disturbed.Next to the hot spring is a small house that looks like changing clothes. Ni Lu walked in to take a look and realized that there was actually a small sauna inside.

After all, it is semi-outdoor. Although the temperature of the hot spring pool is high, Ni Lu, who walked around the hot spring wearing only a coat and a bathrobe, still felt a little cold.He quickly took off his overcoat, untied the belt of his bathrobe, struggled for a while, thinking that there was no outsider here after all, so he simply took off the last pair of underwear.

Before entering the hot spring, he first tested the temperature with water, and stepped into the pool when he felt that he could accept it. When his whole body was buried, Ni Lu couldn't help shivering.

Ni Lu didn't think he was tired at first, he was used to this kind of high-intensity life of getting up early and going to bed late, and being busy with things all day long. On the way here, Zhang Yucheng asked him to rest in the car for a while. I also felt that I couldn't sleep at all, so I might as well chat with Zhang Yucheng to pass the time.

But when he was soaking in the warm pool, scooping up the warm water and patting it on his shoulders, the scenery beside him had already been seen, and the surroundings were quiet and nothing could disturb him, Ni Lu relaxed and leaned against the pool. Ni Lu by the pool wall originally planned to close his eyes and take a nap, but fell asleep unknowingly.

In the drowsy state, I only felt the buzzing around, and I was still wondering where the bees came from, when I heard a familiar and sweet voice coming into my mind: "Xiaolu, wake up, don't sleep! You can't fall asleep in the bath , which is prone to accidents.”

Ni Lu, who had always been a light sleeper, opened his eyes and was stunned for a second or two to react. Misheng looked up and saw a drone hovering above the pool. He blinked and subconsciously said: "Yucheng ?”

"It's me." The voice from the drone could vaguely hear the laughter of the speaker.

Ni Lu relaxed, and unconsciously smiled at the drone. He bent his legs in the warm water, raised his hand and splashed the water on the drone hovering in mid-air.

"Oops!" The drone deliberately exclaimed, "I'm soaked!"

The smile on Ni Lu's face deepened, he was measured, and the water he splashed out didn't splash the drone at all, "Are you done?"

"No." Zhang Yucheng said, "I'm afraid that you will be bored in the hot spring alone, so I specially give you something to relieve your boredom."

As soon as the words fell, the drone flew down a little, and flew towards Ni Lu parallel to the surface of the pool.

Ni Lu had already found a small cloth pocket hanging under the drone, and he didn't know what was in it, so he reached out to get it, "What is it?"

Ni Lu took the small cloth bag out of the hook on the drone, and untied it on the bank of the pool. What was wrapped in the cloth bag turned out to be a new-looking mobile phone.

Ni Lu picked up the phone, "Is this what you gave me to relieve my boredom?"

"Yes. You study the contents of the phone, I have something hidden in it."

Ni Lu tried to turn on the phone and found that the phone had a password, so he asked, "What's the password?"

Zhang Yucheng's voice with an obvious smile came from the drone, "The reminder of the power-on password is: the day I kissed you for the first time."

Ni Lu's ears turned red instantly, he paused for a moment, entered a set of numbers, and the phone turned on successfully.

Zhang Yucheng did not hesitate to praise: "Xiaolu is awesome."

What he said made Ni Lu so ashamed that he wanted to bury his face in the pool.

I clearly remember the time when they first kissed, and how I felt ashamed about it.

Zhang Yucheng, who seemed to know what Ni Lu was thinking, laughed again, and then the drone began to rise, "See you later, Xiaolu."

Ni Lu rested his ears and chin on the bank of the pool, and waved his hand with the drone on his back, signaling him to get out of here.

Zhang Yucheng said that he hid something in the phone, and Ni Lu waited for the buzzing sound of the drone to disappear completely, then began to study the things in the phone.

From the photo album, to the address book, the calls made, and even the APP installed in each mobile phone, I clicked in and looked at it, and found nothing special.

If there is anything worth noting, it is that there is a very special APP in this phone.

The reason why it is special is that other APPs in this phone are built-in with the system, but this APP can be seen as an additional installation. The APP icon is a rose-red arrow that looks like a heart. When you click on it, there will be a bunch of bubble-shaped colored arrows of different sizes floating inside. The directions pointed by the arrows are scattered and there is no unified pointing. , and nothing else.

Ni Lu, who had nothing to do, clicked on these bubble arrows one by one, but nothing happened.

After trying for a long time to no avail, Ni Lu had no choice but to quit this APP to study other things.

You don't even need to play games to pass the time, just study and study like this, time passes in the blink of an eye.When Zhang Yucheng sent the drone to deliver the phone to Ni Lu, Ni Lu had been soaking in the pool for about 10 to 20 minutes. He checked the phone with his phone, and after more than [-] minutes, he was a little soft.

Knowing that he couldn't continue soaking, Ni Lu finally came out of the pool, hurriedly put on his bathrobe and went to take a bath in the shower room.After taking a shower, drying himself and putting on a clean bathrobe, he was tying the strings when his mobile phone, which he had casually placed on the bathrobe rack, rang.

Ni Lu put a dry towel on his head, picked up his phone and looked, it turned out that it was an app that hadn’t responded to him for a long time before, and pushed him a message: Your boyfriend asked you to find him, please click on the app, you can Know where he is!Special reminder: the weather is cold, please wear good clothes before setting off, and do not stay outside for too long.

Ni Lu raised his eyebrows, and clicked on the small heart-shaped arrow, only to find that the scattered small arrows inside were all pointing in the same direction. Ni Lu turned the phone in a different direction, and these small arrows Like a compass, it still points in the original direction.

It means to let him find someone in the direction indicated by the arrow?

Ni Lu tore off the towel from his head, found a hair dryer to dry his hair, and raked it with his hands when he passed the mirror, then put on his coat and walked out of the shower with his mobile phone.
