Extras (II)
In the early morning, on the shore of the quiet West Lake, the autumn wind blows, and the leaves fall one by one. The courtyard of blue bricks and green tiles looks so different, it has long been connected with the West Lake, and has become a place for tourists to stop from time to time. Although I have never seen the owner of the yard, as long as I look at such an elegant courtyard and the sound of the piano that wafts out of the room from time to time, I can't help but be intoxicated, and I envy the elegance of the owner of the yard.
Xu Lang was sitting on a stone by the lake, and it took a lot of effort for him to calm his heart. The breeze blowing from the lake made him sort out his thoughts. Twelve years, the separation of twelve years ago is still vivid, and of course he still remembers the heartbreak when Yumeichi parted. Will time dilute everything? Twelve years ago, of course Xu Lang could be sure that Mengyi at that time must have been moved by himself, so what about twelve years later?
He deliberately ignored any news about Yumeichi, where Yumeichi's name seemed to have become a taboo, and no one dared to mention it in front of him, because everyone knew that that name had an innate magic that could make them lose their most beloved patriarch at any time.
It is precisely because of the power of that longing that he will devote himself to his work, and in just a few years, the original shortcomings in the organization have been dealt with by him vigorously - no one has ever had the courage of him, because no one can be like him, without any obsession with wealth in his heart, just to solve problems. Of course, no one dares to provoke him, who dares to touch his bottom line? After all, he stayed, and there were conditions. The most important thing is that everyone's doubts have been dispelled with the results he has made, and they are naturally willing to follow his instructions.
More and more people have integrated into this society, and that huge wealth has gradually run into the sunshine - since it is charity, why not make more fanfare? All the people in the organization, including him, can finally live like a normal person. As for that wealth, it has long since been reduced to pieces and has been better functioned in a modern way.
Of course, Xu Lang has also been resisted, especially those who are already old, they are somewhat unwilling to see Xu Lang's deviance, but the general trend has been decided, who else can stop the power to move forward?
It is precisely because everything has settled down now that he finally has time for himself. He insisted on coming alone to see Yumeichi. I thought that I could have no scruples in my heart, and even made up my mind, just to see the dream side by one. But it wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was a little timid.
It's long past the time of youth, hasn't it? Xu Lang pressed his heart, after so many years, Mengyi's life must have changed dramatically, right?
The last time I saw her on TV, it was when she presided over the investment and construction of the park, which won an international award. I haven't seen her for so many years, but she is still the same as before, as if the years have more love for her. The bell that accompanied her made Xu Lang a little surprised, originally he thought that Qin Hao would not leave her side.
Sitting by the lake, Xu Lang sighed lightly again. Of course, he knew that a little further, after crossing the wooden arched bridge, he could come to the door of the house, which was a small courtyard with two entrances and three rooms. Yumeichi lives there.
As long as he thought of Mengyi's face, Xu Lang had an indescribable feeling in his heart. After so many years of busyness, he knew that he was old, and even the corners of his eyes were wrinkled. Dreamy ...... Her eyes are still so clear, and she still carries the pride of being independent and old. The most memorable thing is the smile that always appears on her face, as long as she sees her smiling face, Xu Lang feels that all the troubles she wants will be swept away. This made Xu Lang's blood boil.
So she...... Does she remember herself after all that time has passed? Will her appearance become a problem for her?
He had made countless fantasies about meeting Yumeichi again, but now, he was somewhat hesitant. Because he can't be sure, has Mengyi changed in the past 12 years? Is Qin Hao still by her side? By her side, of course, there should be a man who cares for her.
This was originally a question that Xu Lang shouldn't think about anymore, didn't it? When he forcibly endured the sadness in his heart and let Dream leave, he should have thought that it would end like this, right?
Everything around was quiet, except for a few birdsong from time to time. Xu Lang stood up and walked slowly towards the house. His steps were slow because his heart was uncertain. He even regretted a little, he shouldn't have appeared here so hastily, if he had made an appointment with Mengyi in advance, wouldn't it have been so embarrassing?
At last they came to the door of the house, where two weeping willows stood on either side of the door. A few dog barks were heard in the yard. This made the corners of Xu Lang's mouth smile more.
Just as he raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, the door opened with a "bang". Xu Lang suddenly smelled a faint fragrance - the fragrance of jasmine.
When I looked up, I saw a long-haired woman with bright eyes and bright teeth standing in front of the door, wearing a long white dress that almost covered her feet. Xu Lang was stunned, he never thought that Mengyi seemed to be the same as when she left yesterday, except for her hair, which had become long, the years had not left any traces on her face.
With a "plop", the watering kettle in Mengyi's hand fell to the ground, and her tears fell almost instantly, splashing two people and one, but no one cared.
"Is that you? It's really you...... Coming back? Mengyi's cheeks were full of tears, she raised her hand and wanted to touch Xu Lang's face, but she didn't know if it was because she was too sad or trying to hide her gaffe, she withdrew her hand again.
This is the person I dream of! Xu Lang's heart didn't know whether it was joy or sadness, his lips were trembling, but he still couldn't say a word after all.
"You're finally here." Not far away, a person who looked equally excited walked over, with a gift in his hand, "I just didn't expect that this time you were the first." Yumeichi, I've been waiting for you all along. ”
"Qin Hao? How did you...... Also coming. Dream turned his head to look at him, and was a little stunned for a while, before nodding his head at the two of them after a while, "I'm here...... It's rare to have such a lively time, since you're here, let's hurry up and invite in. ”
Walking into the courtyard gate, the fragrance of jasmine also becomes stronger, and the jasmine flowers in the courtyard are swaying in the wind, and the fragrance is stronger. Xu Lang and Qin Hao glanced at each other, neither of them said anything, but sighed lightly at the same time.
