After hanging up the phone, Huang Xing walked into Borui No. 8 community again. The facilities in the garden were different from those [-] years ago.

The place where the lawn used to be was turned into a children's playground, and the color of the European-style street lamps changed from light gray to light beige.The undergrowth green belt has been replaced with dense velvet trees. This landscaping is the most successful in his eyes. After all, there are not too many velvet trees in the new city, and it can't be compared with the old city.

However, the scene of the old city... seems to have no impression, it is nothing more than the pink and green canopy, and...

Huang Xing is not going to continue to recall, whatever else has nothing to do with him.That river not only separates the old and new districts, but also draws a dividing line in his heart, reminding him that crossing the river is a restricted area, so don't set foot in it lightly.

"Good evening, Mr. Lu." Before Huang Xing could do it himself, the butler in the lobby had already opened the door for him.

"Thank you, good evening." Huang Xing nodded to him, "We both have white shirts and ties, so we're both in shirts."

"Mr. Lu, don't be joking. By the way, the hourly labor service you reserved in the afternoon has been booked for you. When will it start?" The housekeeper led him to the elevator and pressed the button for him. "The time is according to your schedule. Work and rest to arrange."

"Let's start tomorrow, every morning at 9 o'clock." Huang Xing replied, thinking that the upstairs area is so large that an hourly worker might not be able to handle it, so he said, "Two people can come here at a time. But I live alone, no It would be too messy."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, it will be on time at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. If you have any needs or changes, you can contact the lobby through the dedicated user line." As soon as the lobby manager finished speaking, the elevator door opened, so he took a step back and opened the private space Leave it to the owner, turn around and walk back to the position just now.Huang Xing looked towards the elevator, and was about to step in, when suddenly a light voice made him stop, his eyes unconsciously followed the voice.

A little girl was sitting on the sofa in the waiting area, using two thin white index fingers as drumsticks, beating on the edge of the marble coffee table.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." Su Zhizhi practiced like on TV, pretending that the table in front of her was a snare drum. From time to time, click, click, it really looks like that.

Also unconsciously, a tall figure walked towards her.

"What are you doing?" Huang Xing knelt down and asked, wanting to laugh.

"Play the drums." Su Zhizhi raised her face and said, without stage fright at all.

"Play drums? Who did you learn from?" Huang Xing asked again.Since he went abroad, the STS band has been completely disbanded. He put away the drumsticks, and the others also put away their instruments and rushed to the college entrance examination. The person in charge of the administration has become a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology, a trader, and the boss of a fishing boat company.Those years of wanton squandering of youth seem to be fake, and there is no verification to be found.

And the age when I fell in love with playing drums seems to be about the same age as her.

"I learned it from watching TV." Su Zhizhi withdrew her extended fingers and clenched them into small fists, "Brother, why haven't I seen you before? You live upstairs?"

This topic changed quite quickly, it's so easy, Huang Xing was amused. "Yes, just moved back. What's your name?"

"Su Zhizhi." Su Zhizhi tilted her head, her short hair at the ear was like a small mushroom, "What's your name?"

"My surname is Su? I have a friend whose surname is also Su. This surname is very nice." Huang Xing didn't expect such a young child to be able to answer his own words, "My name is Huang Xing."

"Lu Cheng." The child was a little confused, Su Zhizhi laughed after muttering twice, "You are a few sizes bigger than my father, you are a big Chengzi."

"It's Chen, not Orange." Looking at her childish smiling face, Huang Xing's heart suddenly sank. These years, he didn't even dare to eat oranges, for fear of coming into contact with that word.The elevator that just went up just now came back, Huang Xing stood up and dusted his suit pants, smiled and touched Su Zhizhi's little head, "Brother is going home, if you want to learn how to play drums, you can go to the music festival in the future. "

"Music festival?" Su Zhizhi thought for a while without trying to figure out what this music festival was like, and looked at him curiously, "Brother Big Chengzi, have you ever been to a music festival?"

"I..." Huang Xing's smile faded, and he shook his head, "No. Where's your father? Why did he leave you here alone? So irresponsible..."

"Daddy went to the bathroom. Daddy is not feeling well." Su Zhizhi looked worriedly in the direction of the guest bathroom, a layer of worry suddenly appeared on her small face, obviously a precocious child, "Daddy is always not feeling well..."

"That's it..." Huang Xing also looked in the direction of the bathroom, and turned to comfort him, "Well, if your father is suffering any more, you'll let him go to the hospital, and if you can't solve it yourself, you can find the housekeeper uncle in the lobby, that's him " Huang Xing pointed to her, "Brother is leaving now, if we meet again by chance, I will give you a little drumstick."

"Thank you, brother." Su Zhizhi happily waved her hands, and made a V sign in the direction of the adult's departure, "Goodbye, Big Orange."

"Goodbye, playing drums is cool, come on." Before getting on the elevator, Huang Xing returned the same V gesture. After entering the elevator, he was suddenly at a loss. Maybe he was really bored abroad, and he could chat with children after returning home.

The golden elevator door closed in front of his eyes, and at the same time, a few meters away, Jing Cheng clutched his stomach, walked out of the passenger elevator, and stopped in two steps.

The collar of the white shirt was stained with water, which was accidentally wet when washing his face.The bow tie is loose and loose, like a flower blooming and failing.His left hand was leaning against the wall, his fingertips and knuckles were slightly red, and there were a few bluish streaks on the back of his hand. When he first stepped out of the bathroom, Jing Cheng still took a few weak steps, but when he saw the child looking at him, he immediately relaxed his brows , pretending that nothing happened.

"Little Chengzi's father!" Su Zhizhi ran over on her short legs, and when she ran to him, she didn't dare to hug him, but just looked at his pale face.

"It's okay." Jing Cheng rubbed the back of his hand on the child's face to relieve the pressure. The familiar feeling came back, and he had to resist tenaciously with another force in his body, "Let's go home."

At this time, the lobby manager approached quickly and helped them press the elevator.Su Zhizhi didn't ask anything, just quietly watched the cold sweat streaming from the adult's temples.Dad is uncomfortable, but Dad always refuses to admit it.

"Dad, just now I met a... big orange." She pinched Jing Cheng's fingertips, feeling the adult's uncontrollable trembling.

"Big Orange?" Jing Cheng's heart rate was a little fast, and vomiting was actually very exhausting. He looked at the indicator light of another elevator, which happened to stop on the 15th floor, so he asked the lobby butler, "Is the person from 15A back?"

Building A is the one with the best location in Borui No. 15. It is close to the river and has a unique scenery. It faces south from the north.Jing Cheng is 15B, but vaguely remembers that [-]A hired hourly workers a few days ago, and it looks like a house that has been vacant for a long time needs to be occupied.

"Yes, the owner of 15A just came back." The butler said, blocking the elevator door with his hands, "Kids, please be careful when you step into the elevator."

"Thank you, Uncle." Su Zhizhi stepped in, still holding onto Jing Cheng's hand tightly, "Dad, be careful where you step."

Jing Cheng's right hand was still covering his stomach, and when he pressed down lightly, it hurt, and at the same time, he also had a dull pain in his temple because he vomited too fast, and he was not very happy.

Why did someone come back from the opposite side? Don't be a neighbor who is not easy to get in touch with.

On the 15th floor, Huang Xing entered the room with his fingerprints. The room was filled with the smell of lemon freshener, and there was no smell that the room hadn't been occupied for several years.

After a few years of going abroad, Xinghan also went out with her, and her parents' work became more and more busy, and they were often busy all over the world.After experiencing the attack, they will spend more time with the elderly, and the house has a lot of real estate, and it has been idle for a long time.But no matter how idle he was, Huang Xing never had the idea of ​​selling this place. He didn't know what he was obsessed with, as if he had an idea once, but it hadn't come true.

Unexpectedly, the room that was once full of laughter and laughter is now so empty.Huang Xing stood at the door and watched, as if he was looking for the memories and traces of his growing up. Living with 4 people didn't feel too big, and when he was chasing and playing with Xing Han, he still hated running away. Now the music festival can be held.

Music festival... The dusty memories for a long time were awakened again, maybe it was because of the little girl he met downstairs that Huang Xing was willing to remember the melody of that night.The timing just happened, when he was about to lower his head to change his slippers, there was a sound outside the door.

It seems to be talking, opening the door, and there seems to be a little girl's laughter.After changing into slippers, Huang Xing opened the movable cover on the cat's eye, only to see that the door of 15B opposite was open, and a thin figure passed by in a flash.The warmth of the lights in the house leaked from the crack of the door, and Su Zhizhi, whom I met downstairs just now, was changing shoes at the door.

It's the father and daughter pair... Huang Xing opened the door halfway, and shook his hand at Su Zhizhi. A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative.

Just as Su Zhizhi took off her shoes, she looked to the left and waved her hand excitedly. At this time, her father called her in the house, and she hurried into the house and slammed the door lightly. "Dad, the big orange is on the opposite side."

"It's the big orange you mentioned just now?" Jing Cheng washed his hands first, and then poured a cup of hot water for himself and the child, "The house is too empty, and I always feel that something is missing... Have you ever acted like a baby with grandpa? Miss him so much, let him come and live with us?"

"You're acting like a baby, but grandpa said he doesn't like this place, and grandpa said he likes... the old house." Su Zhizhi said sternly, and then changed the topic back, "Dad, brother Big Chengzi moved here, should we treat him to dinner? ?”

"Why?" Jing Cheng raised the corners of his mouth, his face turned pale, and his vomited lips were red with blood.

"Because... distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Grandpa also said so. We should buy a bouquet of flowers and become good friends with Big Chengzi." Su Zhizhi gestured and said, "I want the kind, the pink ones on the tree."

"Velvet flowers? No one will give you that, it's too popular." Jing Cheng smiled helplessly. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. He used to think the same way, and he probably would spend most of his life directly in it, but he didn't want to spoil the interest of his children, especially this one. This kind of thing that cultivates social skills from an early age should not be avoided and rejected, "Okay, let's buy a bouquet of flowers tomorrow, and you will send it over."

"Yeah!" Su Zhizhi gestured, then turned and rushed into the study.

It is said that it is a study room, there are not many serious books, and the children are always restless when they are active.Jing Cheng played jigsaw puzzles with her for a while, then went to take a bath, the hot water covered his whole body, he sank himself to the bottom of the pool, and for a few seconds his mind was completely empty.When he finally couldn't hold it anymore, he breathed out and floated up, biting his lower lip so hard that he could bleed.

Distracted, unable to concentrate, forced myself to meditate, still can't calm down, and the brain can't always be empty.He stepped out of the bathtub wet and wet, wrapped himself in a white and soft bathrobe, let the dry and skin-friendly cloth wrap him, hugged him, and gradually left the steaming bathroom, stepping barefoot into the cold bedroom balcony.

The sparkling surface of the river kept him silent for a while, and the bustle on the cross-river bridge was still there, but there was no longer a tandem bicycle to be found.

At this time, the mobile phone on the bedside table vibrated, and the caller was a former schoolboy.

"Hello." Jing Cheng picked it up and went to the balcony again, "Why are you calling me now?"

"Brother Xiaocheng, I passed the assessment!" Qi Yueming, who was about to commit suicide by jumping off the building, is now very excited, "I will officially start work tomorrow!"

"Congratulations, I'll treat you to dinner next week." Jing Cheng touched his pocket, only to realize that there was no cigarette in the bathrobe pocket, "If the new boss makes things difficult for you, you can quit your job and come help me."

"You have Nan Jin, so you definitely don't like my ability to work." Qi Yueming joked.

"Come on, didn't you say that there are 50 people in this assessment, you stand out now." Jing Cheng is sincerely happy for him, "I just don't know whether your boss will be a or o in the future, don't be b, our b is insider King of Rolls, I will exhaust you to death."

"Hey, you can do anything... let's not talk anymore, I'll call the boss over there now and ask him what work arrangements he has tomorrow!" Qi Yueming said a few more words before ending the call, with a cheerful lingering sound It still stopped in Jing Cheng's ears.He squeezed the phone and looked at the river again. He really didn't expect Qi Yueming, who was cowardly back then, to be so competitive now.

Very good, it was not in vain to save him.Just as Jing Cheng was smiling a little, suddenly acid water started to roll in his stomach again, probably because of the cup of hot milk before taking a bath, so he rushed to the bathroom quickly,

At the same second as he left the big balcony, a person appeared on the balcony next door.

Huang Xing looked at Jiang Mian, carefully identified the voice on the phone, and asked in surprise: "Are you... Are you that Qi Yueming who cried and didn't want to live back then?"
