Contention

After returning home, unable to sleep at night, Lu Yuexi took out his mobile phone and kept staring at the chat box between himself and Zou Feiniao.

The girl is indeed strong enough, and she doesn't know what she is betting on, but she just refuses to send her a message.

Lu Yuexi sighed, moved his fingers slightly, thought about it, and refused to admit defeat.When he was about to exit the interface, the phone vibrated and a message was sent.

It's Yehuai.She said: You left in such a hurry today that you didn't even invite you to dinner.

Lu Yuexi was taken aback.In her impression, Ye Huai had never paid so much attention to the ways of the world.

I was thinking about how to reply, and received another one.

Ye Huai: You have been taking care of Ah Ying for so long, I misunderstood you earlier, I treat you to a meal when you have time.

Lu Yuexi didn't really want to go, so she replied: No need, didn't you count as inviting him when you were at He Ying's house?you cook.

She remembered the phrase "don't meet again" the other party said, and was a little confused about what she was going to do.

After waiting for a long time, there was no message from the other side.Lu Yuexi took it for granted and felt a little thirsty, so he put his phone aside and went downstairs to the kitchen to pour water.

After drinking the water, I received a sentence: Alas.

The sigh was inexplicable, but Lu Yuexi frowned.She stroked the phone screen lightly, feeling a little emotional in her heart.

The current situation was something she could never have imagined when she just returned to China at that time.At that time, she even thought that she would keep chasing him and stay single for the rest of her life.

People are sometimes too paranoid, and it is easy to bind themselves.

She did this to Ye Huai back then, and now she did the same to Zou Feiniao.

After being dazed for a long time, I called up the recent itinerary. After thinking about it, I chose next Wednesday.

Lu Yuexi asked: Next Wednesday?

Ye Huai said: Good.

The next day, Monday, was an unshakable working day.

Lu Yuexi and Lu Heng went to Nanjia to inspect the project together by car.The bus arranged by the company is full of executives.

Lu Heng sat in front, and two assistants on the side seats reported the situation to him.Lu Yuexi was sitting behind the old man, and was so noisy that he couldn't close his eyes.

Unable to take a nap, he simply turned his head to look at the scenery.

Nanjia is an old county, very remote, more than two hours away from the urban area, but with beautiful mountains and clear waters, there is also a tourist attraction on the road, the river is wide and the forest is deep, and the artistic conception is far away.This scenic spot is also the location of many movies.

The twists and turns of the winding mountain road have a feeling of "another village with dark willows and bright flowers".

Lu Yuexi remembered that Zou Feiniao mentioned that she was from Nanjia County, and her grandparents still lived in Nanjia.But because of the conflicts between her parents, she has never been back.

When they arrived at the place and got out of the car, the project leader led them to visit and introduce them.

As soon as Lu Yuexi looked up, he saw a banner hanging on the factory - "Welcome the leaders of Huiyan to visit."

Next to it, people from the company's publicity department took pictures and recorded them for publicity on the company's website.

It was freezing cold, especially in the countryside, and the stones on the roadside were covered with a thin layer of frost.Lu Yuexi frowned, listless.

There were two managers who wanted to say a few words to her, but she just said "huh" twice, and she was not very interested.

Seeing him, Lu Heng said, "I'll go to the farmhouse for dinner later, and I'll go back after eating."

The person in charge of the project added with a smile: "What about the roast lamb? It's free-range goat meat. It tastes pretty good."

Lu Yuexi nodded and let them walk into the factory.Standing in the corner, I narrowed my eyes and looked at the signal tower on the hill in the distance.

She really wanted to take a photo for Zou Feiniao, saying that she had arrived at her hometown.The two can chat for a while longer.

It turned out to be such a disappointment.

I waited patiently for a long time.It was another group photo, another speech, and the form went around. The sun was rising, but it was lunch time.

The farmhouse is two kilometers away from the project site, and I went there by bus.The road bumped and the car was stuffy, Lu Yuexi couldn't help sighing.

But when you get to the place, you can smell the smell of roast lamb from a long distance.

The farmhouse is in the form of a mountain villa, decorated with logs, and the gate is covered with red lanterns.The mountain villa is surrounded by a small stream, planted with pine and maple trees, and the wind is strong.

A group of people stepped up the stone steps slowly, and suddenly heard the sound of drums and drums, looked up into the lobby, and there were folk artists sitting on the chairs performing songs.It is a drum word.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "This place is not bad, I cherish it more, do you remember Gu Ci? I took you to see the performance when you were ten years old."

Lu Yuexi glanced lightly and said, "It seems."

The three private rooms I booked are on the left hand side. In the middle of the tea-colored glass turntable on the mahogany round table is a large plate of roast goat meat, sprinkled with coriander and cumin, which is fragrant and delicious. Next to it are eight dishes of seasoning sauces, including sesame sauce and chili powder. available for selection.

In addition, there are some side dishes, such as steamed sea bass, braised pork with preserved vegetables and stir-fried amaranth.

One by one sat down, busy all morning, most of the stomach is empty.Lu Yuexi has seven people including her in this room, and they meet each other in the company every day, and they are all acquaintances.

Lu Heng didn't say anything about the scene, and moved his chopsticks first, and the group of people finally let go of their airs, chatting while eating, and talking about their own things at the dinner table.

"I remember the time when I ate roast lamb with your grandfather." Lu Heng and Lu Yuexi were chatting, and by the way, they took a knife and cut off a few slices of goat meat, and didn't put them on their own plate. You've grown so much over the years."

Lu Yuexi had something on his mind, so he responded perfunctorily: "Yes, Dad, you are so old too."

The two fathers and daughters were hurt when they spoke.

As if thinking of something, Lu Heng asked her, "You went to New Zealand a while ago, how is Feiniao doing there?"

"Didn't you ask?" Lu Yuexi frowned, "I'm very busy, studying and writing papers every day."

Lu Heng asked again: "What is she going to do in the future, come to work in our company?"

"Professional and inappropriate."

"There is always something to look for."

"Do you think she will come?" Lu Yuexi snorted, "I guess we still have to do scientific research."

"Isn't that going to some research institute?"

"Maybe."

"Institute..." Lu Heng also had to think seriously, "There is no big research institute here in Oucheng, so why not go to Beijing and Shanghai?"

What Lu Yuexi told him became more and more interested: "I don't know."

"Then you two..." Glancing over, he beckoned, "What should you do?"

Lu Yuexi put on a wooden face, and said the same sentence: "I don't know."

"Hiss." Lu Heng put down his chopsticks, "I'll talk to her another day."

"Don't go." Lu Yuexi looked at him like that, frowned, "Don't meddle."

"But haven't you both made an agreement? That's a matter for the two families. I'll tell you when I find out about Junya's place."

Lu Yuexi sighed impatiently: "Say it again, it's so annoying."

The rest of the people seemed to be a little noisy on their side, looked at each other, and lowered their voices.

Lu Heng smiled at them when he noticed it, stopped asking them about this matter, and turned to chat with a manager.

Lu Yuexi stopped talking and concentrated on eating.Anyway, she went home directly after eating, and she also drank some wine.

The bayberry wine brewed privately by Nongjiale Mountain Villa is slightly drunk, with rock sugar added, it is smooth and sweet, but it hits the head after two sips.

It was hot, and his face was flushed.Someone came to talk to her, but she was not interested in responding.

When the cups were intertwined, the phone suddenly vibrated.

Lu Yuexi gave a "tsk" and took it out to see that it was Zou Feiniao's call.

He stared at it for a long time, his eyes were gloomy, and he didn't answer it.

After seeing it closely, Lu Heng raised his eyebrows: "Take it, let's go out and fight."

Lu Yuexi hung up silently, in a hurry.

"Arguing?" Lu Heng was speechless, "Why is this?"

I put my phone in my coat pocket, and within a minute, it started vibrating again.

Lu Yuexi didn't hang up this time, and got up directly to pick it up outside the private room.As she walked towards the gate, she listened to the movement on the other side of the phone.

The wind over there is strong and whirring.

Zou Feiniao opened his mouth and called her, "I cherish more."

It was very quiet, as clear as water.

Lu Yuexi snorted coldly: "Remember to call me? I thought you never want to contact me again."

She had wanted to be decent.It was just such a sentence, and it was full of resentment.

Zou Feiniao over there also heard it, laughed, and said, "Yeah."

Lu Yuexi wanted to ask: "You..."

The other side said, "So I'm here."

She froze for a moment, and stopped when the words came to her lips: "What are you here?"

"Here we are, at the gate of the terminal building." Zou Feiniao breathed out lightly, with a smile in his voice, "It's really cold, and the wind is so strong. I'll go home and pack my luggage, and I'll find you later."

Lu Yuexi was completely stunned, and just stopped at the lobby.As soon as the artist beat the drum, there was a "boom", and the drum sounded startled.

She turned her head, exchanged a glance with the artist, and then came to her senses, still in disbelief: "Have you arrived in Oucheng?"

"Yeah." Zou Feiniao said, "I miss you."

"..." Lu Yuexi paused for a long time, and finally remembered to tell her, "I'm outside, not...I'm not in Lucheng."

"Oh, business trip?"

"No." Lu Yuexi stomped his feet coldly in the lobby, but his heart was burning slightly, and the drunkenness was completely gone, "I'm inspecting. It's here in Nanjia, and I'll go back later. You Go to sleep for a while, I will go find you."

"I'm not sleepy," Zou Feiniao said, there was some questioning over there, probably he was taking a taxi, "...how about I go to Rong Jin's place and wait after I pack my luggage and have a meal with my mother?" you?"

"Have you brought the keys?"

"It's always in the wallet."

Lu Yue's heart blossomed with pity: "Okay, I'll try to go back as soon as possible."

Lu Heng didn't procrastinate, and he really greeted everyone to go back by car after dinner.Before leaving, I took another photo in front of the villa.

Lu Yuexi kept his eyes open, and Guan Shanzhuang bought a can of red bayberry wine.

Lu Heng looked at her: "Are you addicted to drinking? Later, someone will make it for you."

"No need." The small jar she bought contained five or six red bayberry stuffed in the glass jar. It was deep purple and thin, with traces of red bayberry flesh floating in it. Looking through the glass, it was the same color as a rose.

It was already afternoon to take the bus back to Huiyan headquarters.

Lu Heng asked his personal driver, Uncle Chen, to drive them home.As soon as he got in the car, Lu Yuexi said, "I'm going to Rongjin's."

"What are you going there for?"

"Something happened."

Lu Heng let her go, and asked Uncle Chen to divert to the Rongjin villa area.

When we got there, Lu Heng said, "Your uncle will come over for dinner tonight, so come back early."

Lu Yuexi waved at him: "I know, I know."

The wind blows on the road, the long hair is scattered, and the ends are curled.

Lu Yuexi didn't bring the key, so he rang the doorbell.

Zou Feiniao came out of the villa, smiled at her through the iron fence door, and came to open the door for her.

Enter the house and close the door.

When Zou Feiniao came home, Aunt Fang probably urged him to put on more clothes.There was a smell of mothballs on the coat, and it was just taken out of the closet.

Lu Yuexi sniffed for a long time, then turned his head and sighed: "Xun."

"And talk about me, you haven't lived in the villa for so long, and I cleaned it when I first came here."

"Have you hired a part-timer to clean it?"

"There's always a place for dust to collect."

"Oh."

Homely conversations, disputes as if they never happened.
