a row of egrets

The two talked for a long time, but Qiu Tong was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that Lu Zhan looked soft and tender, and he was so steady when talking about business. Lu Zhan would bring up many details that he hadn't considered, and in the In the process of talking, he had already written down a plan while talking. Qiu Tong took it over and looked at it. The writing was perfect, and there were almost no faults.

"You are very different from what I imagined." Qiu Tong took a sip of water, "I thought you were an embroidered pillow."

"You are just as I imagined." Lu Zhan also drank, "You are just an embroidered pillow."

Sooner or later, Qiu Tong will be pissed off by this child.

"Your boyfriend is in China?" Qiu Tong asked him.

"In Africa, Somalia."

"Why do you go there? It's so messy there, your boyfriend is from the peacekeeping force?" Qiu Tong looked Lu Zhan up and down, "The physical fitness must be very good, can you bear it with your small body?"

"It must be better than you anyway." Lu Zhan glanced at him, "He is a doctor."

"So you like this kind of selfless dedication." Qiu Tong leaned on the sofa, "Then I will set up a foundation tomorrow, and I will also give selflessly."

Lu Zhan didn't want to talk to him.

"Oh, it seems that you like him very much, so why did you go abroad?"

Lu Zhan stared at the cup in his hand in a daze for a while: "I did something wrong."

"Oh, you came to hide things abroad." Qiu Tong understood, "I don't believe it. One of you is in the United States and the other is in Africa. Can you still maintain your relationship?"

"We haven't been in touch for more than two years." Lu Zhan leaned back on the sofa, "My dad asked me to stay outside for three years, and I can go back soon."

Qiu Tong looked shocked: "I haven't contacted for more than two years? Then you are talking about a fart relationship. You two are going to set the Guinness World Record for the longest cold war period? Can you be clearer, I guess they didn't care about it at all. You are the object, and you have been forgotten long ago."

"It turns out that you haven't been in a serious relationship." Lu Zhan glanced at him with his chin raised.

Qiu Tong didn't hear what Lu Zhan was saying at all. Lu Zhan leaned on the sofa with long eyelashes hanging down and glanced over casually like an AK47, which shattered his heart.

"It's been so long, aren't you really lonely?" Qiu Tong shamelessly sat next to Lu Zhan, "It's okay, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, even if you had the last time with me, your boyfriend won't know."

"Don't think about it, it's impossible." Lu Zhan closed his eyes, "I don't want to touch anyone except him."

Qiu Tong's hand slowly touched Lu Zhan's thigh: "Master Lu, don't you feel uncomfortable holding back? Just once, you can treat it as a relief, my skills are very good..."

Lu Zhan opened his eyes and reached for the water glass.

Qiu Tong immediately withdrew his hand: "My outfit today is more expensive than last time, please show mercy."

Lu Zhan laughed: "If you don't want to have these things, maybe we can still be friends. If you bother me so much, don't do that project."

"Okay, I've completely given up." Qiu Tong also leaned back on the sofa, "If your boyfriend knows that you are so steadfast, he won't be moved to death."

"I don't need him to be moved." Lu Zhan said slowly, "I just hope he is willing to give me another chance."

On New Year's Eve in China, Xiao Yibai finished an operation and stood in the corridor on the second floor looking at the stars.

The stars here are particularly bright, and the night here is particularly desolate.

Carl walked up to him and asked him, "Is it already Chinese New Year?"

"Well, it's a few hours earlier than here, and it's the New Year." Xiao Yibai replied lightly.

"Happy New Year," Carl said to him.

"Thank you."

"Wouldn't you like to say Happy New Year to the person you miss?"

Xiao Yibai lowered his head slowly: "No, we can meet soon."

"Yes, you're going back soon." Carlton paused, "About two months."

He turned his head to look at Xiao Yibai: "When you go back, isn't it almost spring in China?"

"Yes, it's spring." Xiao Yibai smiled, "The spring in my hometown is very beautiful and warm."

"Maybe spring is the same everywhere, but because there are people you love in your hometown, the spring there is especially good."

"Maybe." Xiao Yibai looked into the distance, "A place without him is actually the same everywhere, and it makes no difference to me."

"He" is not the same as "she" in English, so Karl looked a bit surprised.

"he?"

"Yes." Xiao Yibai looked at Carl, "The person I miss is a boy."

"Then bless you." Carl smiled, "When we meet again, I hope you will not be separated again."

"it is good."

Xiao Yibai responded softly, and raised his eyes, his dark pupils were full of reflections of stars, they were Lu Zhan's favorite eyes.

It is afternoon in the United States, and Lu Zhan is finishing a meeting. His assistant is waiting outside the meeting room and tells him that he is going to meet a client next.

Lu Zhan frowned: "Isn't this client the one Manager Fang talked to a few days ago?"

"Yes, but he just contacted us and said that he needs to discuss some details with you before deciding whether to sign the contract."

"Okay, I'll take care of it. Give me the information, and then ask Manager Fang to come to my office. I want to ask about the situation."

Lu Zhan picked up his mobile phone while talking: "Hello? Has it been approved? Okay, you send me the documents, and I will contact the domestic headquarters. Then I will ask Aaron how the last report is going. To use."

Lu Zhan pushed open the door of the office while talking, hung up the phone after entering, turned to his assistant and said, "Call Mr. Qiu and ask him if he has any problems with the last proposal. Ready to start."

"Ok."

"Also, tell someone in the sales department to send me a copy of the client file of the ongoing project, and I want to see it."

"Ok."

Lu Zhan has become more and more busy recently, because he is about to return to China, and he needs to sort out the first-hand information and hand over many things.He is unwilling to hand over everything to others, but handles it by himself as much as possible, so that he can list all the information and affairs clearly when handing over tasks, so as to ensure that after he leaves, various projects and tasks can be carried out without being affected. Work properly.

After discussing the details with the client and signing the contract, it was already night. Lu Zhan drove the car and suddenly thought that it was the New Year in China.

He has no feeling for the New Year. For more than 20 years since he was a child, the most unforgettable New Year is the year when he and Xiao Yibai watched the Spring Festival Gala while lying under the quilt with a smile.

It was an ordinary night, but because it was spent with Xiao Yibai, in Lu Zhan's heart, it was extraordinarily special and extraordinarily precious.

And that was the only time they spent New Years together.

Lu Zhan went to a convenience store to buy some things. When he got the cash, he found that there was not enough change, so he looked in the deep compartment of the wallet, and then he found a piece of paper in the innermost compartment.

Lu Zhan left the store, stood under the street lamp, lit a cigarette, and pulled out the piece of paper.

It was given to him by Li Jing after checking Xiao Yibai's information.

After being kept in the wallet for so long, the folded edge of the paper was frayed and turned gray. Lu Zhan gently unfolded the paper. There was Xiao Yibai's photo and date of birth on it.

Through the smoke, his cold eyebrows were reflected in Lu Zhan's eyes like a painting.

Lu Zhan smoked a cigarette, stood under the street lamp and looked for a long time, looked up, the sky was dark tonight, not a single star could be seen.

He carefully folded the paper and put it back in his wallet.

How long have we not seen each other, Xiao Yibai?

Almost three years now.

Lu Zhan returned to China half a month earlier than Xiao Yibai.

Before returning to China, Lu Zhan had a phone call with his father.

"Is it all over that should be handed over?" Lu Yancheng asked him.

"Yeah." Lu Zhan was sitting in the office, it was already late, and the lamp was on on his desk.

"It's almost there. After the end, I will take a day off, pack my luggage, and then take the plane back at noon the next day. I will arrive in China around the evening of the next day."

"What are your plans when you come back?"

Lu Zhan was silent for a while. His company had been closed for a long time. Some of the former employees went to work in Lu Group, and some were arranged by Lu Yu to go to other companies. Simply put, he had lost his previous career.

"I'm going back to work in Lu's Group." When Lu Zhan said this, he didn't know whether it was regret or compromise, "Brother has already arranged it for me."

"Okay." Lu Yancheng was silent for a while, "What about Yibai?"

"I'll wait for him to come back." Lu Zhan's tone was low but firm, "He returned half a month later than me. When he comes back, I will continue to be with him."

"Lu Zhan!" Lu Yancheng's voice still carried the anger he felt when he first learned about the relationship between Lu Zhan and Xiao Yibai, "It's been three years, why are you still so ignorant?!"

"Not sensible?" Lu Zhan rubbed his brows and laughed, "What does this have to do with being sensible? How have I lived in the United States for the past three years, Dad, are you really not sure?"

"For three years, I don't know what you talked about with Xiao Yibai. He never contacted me once, and I never looked for him. I didn't look for him because I felt guilty and I didn't have the face to talk to him. But that's it In the three years that we haven't said a word to each other, my feelings for him have not changed at all, and have become more firm. Let me tell you this, if you want me to break up with him completely, there is only one way, and that is my death. "

"you……"

"I'm hopeless, right? I think so too, but Dad, if it weren't for Xiao Yibai, I wouldn't be able to survive the past three years at all, and I wouldn't listen to you like this at all, just stay in the branch honestly. I know, it's hard for you to accept this, and I don't ask you to accept it, but if you stop it, then I don't have to go back to China, I will go directly to Xiao Yibai and stay abroad with him, wherever I want, find A place where no one bothers us, and start over."

Lu Yancheng didn't speak. In the past three years, he and Lu Zhan had spoken on the phone several times. Every time, Lu Zhan said similar words very firmly. He knew that Lu Zhan's heart was indestructible, but he couldn't accept it.

"Let's talk about it when you come back." Lu Yancheng sighed, "I don't want to argue with you, but you have to think about the future of the Lu family."

"Isn't there still my brother?" Lu Zhan turned off the light and went out, "I can't like anyone else, Dad, I don't want anything, I just want Xiao Yibai."
