The next day, Liu Ying arrived at the company early according to Li Le's instructions, and after she went to the personnel department to check the card, she simply cleaned up her desk, and then opened the mailbox to see if there were any important emails, and finally went to make a glass of lemonade and put it on the table.

When Li Le arrived at the company, he took a note and asked Liu Ying to fill it out and hand it over to the personnel department before leaving, while Wei Xiaoqian and Xianyang were already on their way to Jiuhuang Mountain.

Jing Min asked them to meet directly at their home, and Liu Ying couldn't help but wonder along the way, Jing Min is already fifty years old, and what will the home of a writer who lives alone in more than half a hundred years old look like, is it like what is often shown on TV, the four walls are the kind of built-in bookcases, and the books at the highest point still need to be taken down by ladders, or the kind of duplex house that is particularly literary and fresh, facing the sea in spring. But to Liu's surprise, Jing Min's home is completely different from what she imagined, her home is in the city center, and the home is like a gym, with all kinds of fitness equipment.

Jing Min was wearing a sportswear and sweating on the treadmill, and the nanny who opened the door for them led them to the living room, brought them two cups of tea and told them to wait a while.

Jing Min took a shower, changed into home clothes, wiped her head with a towel, sat down and looked at Li Le, only to find that there were two people in front of her, she glanced at Liu Ying and was slightly stunned and then said, "Team Leader Li, who is this?"

Liuying hurriedly got up and introduced herself: "Hello Teacher Jing, my name is Gu Liuying, and I am the designer of the elements. ”

Jing Min motioned for her to sit down, and then said, "My husband is also surnamed Gu." ”

"Really?" Hotaru said hesitantly, not knowing what to say next, "I thought...... Thought it was ......"

Liuying didn't know why she was a little nervous, maybe Jing Min was her favorite writer, or maybe Jing Min had a look of non-anger and authority between her eyebrows, so that Liu Ying didn't know how to express it.

"Why do you think?" Jing Min looked at her and asked, Li Le gave her a look, but Liu Ying didn't understand too much.

"I thought...... You won't be too happy to mention your husband. Liuying bit her lip and said it anyway.

Li Le hurriedly followed Liuying's words and said, "Teacher Jing, don't mind, young people are not sensible. ”

Jing Min smiled, picked up the water cup on the tea table, took a sip and said, "It's out of the way, why do you think I'm not happy to mention my husband?"

Liuying glanced at Li Le, Li Le's expression seemed to signal her not to say it, but Liuying really couldn't think of any other answer to accept, so she could only say truthfully: "Because your husband ......"

"She's afraid you'll mention your husband's injury, right?" Li Le Chong Liu Ying said.

Hotaru nodded and said "yes". In fact, Liu Ying didn't think so, she thought that Jing Min was reluctant to mention her husband because her husband was a drug lord during his lifetime, Jing Min was a famous writer, just like Li Le said at the meeting, there is a kind of arrogance in his bones, how could such a person be willing to mention the husband who brought a stain to her life in front of strangers.

Jing Min put down the teacup in his hand, just looked at the two of them and said lightly, "No." ”

Li Le wanted to find something light-hearted and happy, so he said, "Teacher Jing, do you usually have to exercise like this in the morning?"

Jing Min nodded and said, "Well, I've been used to it for many years. ”

"It's good to exercise more, life lies in sports, the living habits of Mr. Jing are very healthy, which is like us, all day long either sitting in front of the computer and drawing pictures or sitting in the conference room for meetings, over the years, this neck, shoulders, waist, no part is intact. Li Le said.

"Then Team Leader Li can change jobs, change to a job where you can exercise every day, such as a fitness coach or something. Jing Min looked at Li Le and said.

Li Legan laughed and replied, "Teacher Jing, you are really joking. ”

"Life is about movement. Jing Min said again.

Li Le didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, it was useless to talk too much, his mouth was originally clumsy, and he couldn't take any advantage when he met a writer who could speak well, so he changed the topic and said: "Teacher Jing, do you think you have any ideas about the design of that courtyard?"

Although Jing Min is more than half a hundred years old, due to the habit of maintaining exercise for many years, it is not much different from Li Le, who is in his thirties, except for the fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she speaks and laughs, in addition to the years have not left any traces on her body, Jing Min thought about it, and said as a matter of course: "Shouldn't this be your designer's business?

Li Le didn't mind Jing Min's words, after all, he had been fully mentally prepared in advance, he said with a smile: "Teacher Jing, of course our designers can design a perfect courtyard house for you, but if this courtyard house is also integrated into your ideas, your thoughts, and you live in the house of your dreams, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake?"

"My thoughts? My thoughts are to look at the sky and the clouds at dusk. Jing Min looked at Li Le and said, "This idea must have brought good inspiration to Team Leader Li." ”

Li Le smiled awkwardly and glanced at Liuying, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but seeing Jing Min looking at Li Le and Li Le didn't say a word, Liuying opened his mouth: "Teacher Jing, I am your reader, and the first time I came into contact with your book was when I was in junior high school, and since then I have been out of control." Your words touched me a lot, and it can be said that in some ways it was your words that saved me. To tell you the truth, I have just joined Element Design, and your courtyard house is the first project I have worked on, and I hope that I can do this project well, not only because it is my responsibility, but also because you are someone I respect. ”

Li Le nodded vigorously with a smiling face on the side and said, "Yes, although Gu Liuying has just joined the company, she is ...... in design."

Jing Min interrupted Li Le's explanation, looked at Liuying and said: "I don't know how many readers like you will meet in a year, you don't need to be close to me like this, and I don't need to, you do a good job of the design to give me the greatest respect." ”

Liuying lowered her head and habitually began to pinch her fingers again, obviously this is not the case, she thought to herself, Jing Min's attitude at the beginning and now gave her a completely different feeling, what went wrong. She glanced up slightly at Jing Min, who was drinking tea with a cup, and Liuying saw the simple ring on her finger, saying that the ring was actually just a round circle. Liuying suddenly understood something in her heart, she raised her head and said to Jing Min: "Teacher Jing, you just said that your idea is to see the sky and the clouds at dusk, so let me tell you my thoughts, okay?"

Jing Min didn't even look at Liu Ying and said directly: "Then you talk about it." ”

Li Le glanced sideways at Liuying, who nodded slightly at him, then smiled at Jing Min and said, "I have read many touching stories about you and your husband in your essays, and these stories have also been remembered by countless readers, until now you have tenderness and sweetness in your eyes when you mention your husband. Originally, I thought that you would not be happy to mention your husband, not because of the sadness of the scene, but because he was a drug lord when he was alive, but I just saw this old ring on your finger and realized that he is your husband, and all the past will end with the end of his life, only the identity of the husband is indelible in your heart, and he will live in your heart forever. So I think that's why you want to build a courtyard house. Xiao looks at the sky and looks at the clouds at dusk, and thinks about you when you walk, and thinks about you when you sit. Right?"

Jing Min didn't answer, she quietly looked at Liuying, Liuying also looked at her, looking at each other, Liuying seemed to see a deep love in her eyes. After a long time, Jing Min came back to his senses, got up and said to Liu Ying: "If there is a problem with the design, you can call me directly to communicate, I still have something, so I won't send it." ”

Li Le and Liuying also stood up, Liuying nodded and said, "Okay", then paused and said, "Teacher Jing, I didn't bring a book today, can you sign it for me next time?"

Jing Min smiled and nodded, and Liuying said happily, "Thank you." ”

Li Le also said in a timely manner: "Teacher Jing, you are busy, let's leave first, goodbye." ”

After saying goodbye to Jingmin, Li Le was ready to take Liuying to Jiuhuang Mountain to meet Wei Xiaoqian Xianyang and investigate the scene.

"That, what is 'Xiao looks at the sky and looks at the clouds at dusk, thinks about Jun when he walks, and thinks about Jun when he sits?'" As soon as he got in the car, Li Le asked Liuying.

Liu Ying replied: "It's a poem by Tang Bohu." ”

"What are you talking about?" Li Le asked again, "I don't have a good impression of these ancient poems at all. ”

Liuying smiled and said, "It's probably that the morning and twilight are always looking forward to the return of their lover and renew this life." ”

"Her husband has been dead for so many years, how can she not get out. Li Le said with a sigh.

Liuying also chimed in: "Yes, maybe this is a couple for a lifetime." ”

"But I still don't understand why she is putting on a repulsive appearance. ”

Liuying thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe it's because I've lived alone for so many years." ”

Li Le smiled and said: "No matter what the reason, anyway, she recognizes us now, fortunately there is you, a Jingmin book lover, today, otherwise we will have to end up with the same group, now it's okay, we can finally raise our eyebrows once." ”

Liuying smiled and stopped talking, she remembered for no reason that Jing Min wrote in a memoir when she and her husband were in love, the two sat on the bench and talked, separated by the distance of three people, and any closer felt like a blasphemy of love. This deep affection between Jing Min and her husband made her admire, and she suddenly wanted to know what love was, and suddenly she was full of longing for love, and she wanted to fall in love like an ordinary person, to love a boy who made her heart move, and to leave the most precious memories at this best age.
