Chapter 51: Sudden Departure
He Linxi's bath time was not long, and he walked out of the master bedroom wearing a bathrobe half an hour later.
Lu Li moved down on the sofa to give her an empty place, He Linxi didn't seem to see it, wiped his hair and sat on the original single sofa at home opposite the new sofa.
"Mom," Lu Li shouted, she had just thought about it when the time came, and she had to take the initiative in tonight's conversation.
He Linxi looked up at Lu Li, "Pour me a cup of hot water." ”
"Good!" Lu Li got up and went to the kitchen, she had already boiled hot water just now.
Lu Li came back with the water cup, He Linxi also wrapped his hair with a bath towel, reached out and took the water cup and blew it, looked down at the water and said, "Contact your father today." ”
Lu Li sat back on the new sofa, "Contacted, my dad seems to be quite busy right now." ”
He Linxi suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It's quite busy." ”
Lu Li felt that his mother's words had a different meaning, and he wanted to explain it for his father, but after looking at He Linxi, he held back his words.
He Linxi took a sip of water and put down the cup, watching Lu Li officially enter the topic.
"Originally, I came back this time to make an appointment with your father, and I will go back when he comes back, and a lot of things on the film crew are backlogged because of my return, but your father told me this morning that he can't come back."
After listening to his mother's words, Lu Li blinked without much understanding, "Yes, I haven't heard my father say it, so why didn't he come back, it's because the inn can't leave." ”
She was playing drums in her heart, and she didn't know why her parents had made an appointment to go home together. Over the years, the three of her family have been used to living separately, but everyone gets together...... It's a bit of an anomaly.
He Linxi's eyes stared at her daughter calmly, and she could see the doubts and wonders in Lu Li's eyes, "Maybe." Forget if you can't come back, I plan to go home and see you after you come back from the Arctic Circle, let's talk about you. ”
Lu Li swallowed his throat, "Okay." ”
After speaking, she lowered her head, took out a tissue from the tissue box next to her, and pretended to wipe her hands, so as to avoid direct contact with her mother.
He Linxi also turned her head to look at the TV in the living room that had not been turned on for a long time, she picked up the remote control and turned it on, and randomly chose a station to turn down the volume of the TV.
She put down the remote control, "Let you go with me to Qibao Town to participate in the filming of this, I'm sorry I made a decision without consulting you, don't be angry with me, okay." ”
Lu Li's action of wiping her hands stiffened, she wondered if she had heard it wrong, her mother actually told her to say sorry for this kind of thing, and told her not to be angry.
"Mom, don't scare me," Lu Li looked up at He Linxi, "Is something wrong with you, you can tell me directly if there is something." ”
Lu Li felt that his heart was beating faster, and he subconsciously thought about something very bad in his mind.
He Linxi looked at Lu Li with a smile and a smile, "What are you talking about!" As she spoke, her eyes suddenly dimmed, "No wonder your Uncle Xu reminded me to talk to you like this, you would have such a reaction, it seems that he knows his daughter better than me...... I'm a failure, right? ”
Lu Li was even more confused. With a hard hand, she made a big hole in the tissue.
He Linxi saw it, and his eyes were rare and warm, "Lu Li, in fact, my mother decided this way for the sake of your future career, this shooting in Qibao Town is really a rare opportunity, you want to make achievements in the same work as your mother in the future, and this step is very important." ”
Lu Li nodded with a confused look in his eyes, "I know, I know." She really didn't know what to say, and her mother suddenly seemed to be a different person, and she hadn't adapted yet.
He Linxi saw that his daughter didn't talk much, and after waiting for a while, he had to continue, "I was collectively criticized by everyone at dinner tonight, saying that I shouldn't be so domineering to you, and I also know that what I did was inappropriate, but you should understand your mother's good mood for you, I just hope that my daughter can be better than me in the future." ”
Lu Li pursed her lips, "Mom, I don't have a good attitude today, don't take it to heart, it's just ......" She actually hadn't thought about what to say, and she was stuck at the beginning.
The eye circles are still slightly red.
He Linxi suddenly laughed helplessly, Lu Li frowned and looked at her, and saw a trace of water in her mother's eyes, which made her even more surprised, and it could even be said that she was starting to be afraid.
"It seems that you really follow me, we are all women who don't know how to express their feelings well, Lu Li," He Linxi seemed to hesitate, "I plan to finish filming this documentary, and I will reduce my workload and take a good rest, so my mother will be anxious At this time, I want you to follow me Qibao Town, I want to teach you a lot of things that must be filmed on the spot to give you what you know." ”
Lu Li finally understood what her mother really meant, she couldn't tell what it was like, she felt that her nose and the corners of her eyes were sour, and she tried her best to hold back her tears.
"Come with me, okay?" He Linxi looked at his daughter expectantly.
After a full minute, Lu Li replied in a trembling voice, "I know, I'll go with you." ”
……
Lu Li walked into the bathroom and closed the door, tears immediately burst out of her eyes, she quickly turned on the faucet, and the low sobbing sound was almost inaudible in the sound of the water.
Lu Li cried for a long time before his mood gradually calmed down.
When she finished washing up and stabilized her mood, and was about to go out to face her mother who had changed her face again, He Linxi suddenly called her in the living room through the door, "Lu Li!" Your phone rang for a long time, come out and take a look. ”
Lu Li hurriedly answered, and opened the door in confusion, this time was close to one o'clock in the morning, who would call her at this time.
Seeing her come out, He Linxi, who was sitting on the new sofa watching TV, didn't take his eyes off the TV screen, but said lightly, "It seems to be a WeChat prompt at first, and I started calling just now." ”
Lu Li hurriedly picked up the mobile phone that was placed on the dining table before taking a bath, clicked on the screen and looked, and sure enough, there was a string of message prompts.
There are five new WeChat messages and two missed calls...... It's all from the same person, it's Lin Lin who is looking for her.
Lu Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, she peeked at He Linxi like a thief, took her mobile phone and walked to her room, and said to He Linxi that she was a friend looking for her as she walked, she went back to the room to call, and said good night to her mother at the end.
"Good night." He Linxi also looked at the back of Lu Li who left in a hurry out of the corner of his eye, and his originally indifferent face gradually became solemn.
Lu Li went back to the room and closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed with his mobile phone, hesitating whether to reply to Lin Lin first or call directly.
In the end, I still sent a WeChat message - I didn't hear it when I took a shower just now, has your gauze been removed?
Five seconds later, the reply came - it's safe to get home, the gauze has been removed, it's early in the morning on your side, right, sorry for looking for you at this time.
Lu Li smiled, lowered his head and quickly replied - I arrived home at noon today, I was afraid that the jet lag would affect your rest, so I didn't send you WeChat immediately, I wasn't ready to sleep, so I didn't bother me.
At the end, she also added a laughing emoji.
When Lin Lin came back, he also made a laughing expression at the beginning, Lu Li pursed his lips when he looked at the expression, and quickly looked behind to see what he said - he was a little worried before calling directly.
Lu Li: I know, you can ask Director Xu, don't you know if I'm home.
Lin Lin - I just want to confirm with you. Before you came to the news, you just contacted Director Xu.
Lu Li was typing to reply, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, He Linxi asked her outside the door if she was still talking on the phone, Lu Li hurriedly called "Wait a minute" and sent it to Lin Li, put down the phone and went to open the door.
He Linxi looked at Lu Li's obviously bright face, lowered his voice and said, "I just want to say that you go to bed early, and I will take you to do something tomorrow morning." ”
Lu Li nodded immediately, "I know, I'm chatting with friends on WeChat, it's not too late, what time will I leave tomorrow morning?" ”
"Eight o'clock."
Lu Li closed the door and quickly picked up his mobile phone, there was no new news from Lin Li's side, probably because he saw her post and waited, so he was really waiting.
- I'm back, and I just talked to my mom about something.
Lin Lin - Your mother is at home? That's good, spend more time with her, I don't have anything to do, just know that you're doing well, then we'll talk another day.
Lu Li saw that he didn't want to continue chatting, and his heart was slightly lost, but after calculating the time over there and the fact that he had just finished the operation, he couldn't help but pull him to continue.
- Alright then, you should also rest and recover, and your eyes will be completely better sooner.
- Thank you, good night.
- Good night......
Back on the first night when Fengtian lay in bed at home, Lu Li slept very soundly.
She was woken up by the seven o'clock alarm clock in the morning, and she delayed for another ten minutes to force herself to get up, and when she washed up and changed, He Linxi also came out of the bedroom.
She wore an all-white set today, gray-white tweed wide-leg pants, a white down jacket on the upper body, which made the whole person look very good, and the lipstick color was also a new color that Lu Li rarely saw her use.
After looking at it, Lu Li asked his mother with a smile, "Mom, where are we going today?" She originally wanted to praise her mother for her good looks, but because she didn't have this habit of communication, she still didn't say it.
He Linxi stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself, "Go to the Forbidden City Museum, you also wear white, I remember that you have a white down jacket." ”
Lu Li really didn't guess that she was going to the Fengtian Palace Museum, which was her father's former work unit, and her first reaction was that her mother was going to do something for her father, "Is it to help my father do something?" I haven't been there in years, so you made an appointment with my dad to do this, right? ”
After she asked, she went to the room, ready to find her white down jacket as her mother said, she turned her back to He Linxi, and didn't see that after she finished speaking, her mother's face was gloomy for a moment.
When he went out of the door, He Linxi answered a phone call and walked behind, Lu Li took the first step to the garage and waited by the car, took out his mobile phone and just looked at today's news a few times, and heard He Linxi's footsteps hurriedly come over, Lu Li hurriedly looked up.
He Linxi glanced at her, "I can't go to the Forbidden City Museum, I have to go back to Qibao Town immediately, something is going on over there...... In this way, you still go over according to the high-speed rail ticket I originally booked, and I will go back and wait for you first. ”
Lu Li looked at his mother in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”
He Linxi shook his head anxiously, as if he didn't want to say more to Lu Li, "I'll go home and pack my things now, and your Uncle Xu will come over to pick me up and take me to the airport in a while, give you the car keys, be careful yourself." ”
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and strode towards the elevator.
Lu Li followed closely from behind, "Mom, don't worry, I'll go home and help you clean up, or I'll go with you too, my luggage will be packed quickly." ”
He Linxi pressed the elevator and turned his head to look at the woman, "That's fine." ”
In the next few hours, Lu Li followed his mother and Xu Wei to go out in a nervous state, packed up his things and set off for the airport, and the ticket was booked very smoothly, but there was no direct flight to that place in Qibao Town, so they could only fly to a neighboring city and then transfer to the high-speed rail.
When he finally got on the flight, Lu Li breathed a long sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that he had just returned from the Arctic Circle and had not yet fallen jet lag, so he flew again.
After taking off, Lu Li began to feel sleepy, and her mother kept writing and drawing on the notepad with a pen next to her, and Lu Li knew that it was best not to disturb her at work, so she simply put on a blindfold and fell asleep.
After a daze, Lu Li woke up and suddenly remembered something, she suddenly set off without telling Lin Lonely, if he sent it in time in the direct organ again> but this thought quickly turned into a self-deprecating smirk on the corner of Lu Li's lips, isn't she a little too childish? He is not Lin Lone, why is he always looking for himself, why is he anxious because he has lost contact for a few hours?
Lu Li sighed in her heart, and in order to prevent herself from continuing to think crankily, she decided to continue sleeping.
Before going to bed, she picked up the blindfold and looked at her mother, He Linxi also closed her eyes at some point, and Lu Li didn't make a sound and re-buckled the blindfold.
Four hours later, the plane landed without incident. Xu Wei had already booked the next high-speed rail tickets for them before, and Lu Li continued to hurry with his mother, and after taking the high-speed train for another hour, he finally arrived in Qibao Town.
Walking out of the train station, Lu Licai saw a relaxed look on He Linxi's face, and she didn't have a chance to ask the film crew what was going on here, but now that her mother's face was much better, she tentatively asked how to go to the filming place next.
He Linxi took out his mobile phone and looked at it, "Wait for a car to pick us up, wait a while." ”
Ten minutes later, the film crew's car arrived, and a tall and thin young man came to help them with their luggage, and Lu Li learned from his mother that this was his mother's assistant, named Song Hai. Lu Li saw him for the first time.
"I've been with Director He for more than three years, and it's the first time we've met, hello!" Song Hai stretched out his hand to Lu Liyi very enthusiastically.
Lu Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed, an assistant who had been with his mother for more than three years, and he had only seen him for the first time.
"Okay, you guys have time to chat in the group in the future, so let's go back quickly." He Linxi had already gotten into the car first, urging them to hurry up.
The car drove straight to Qibao Town.
Lu Li curiously kept looking out the car window, in the middle of winter in Fengtian, there were still large areas of green here in Qibao Town, and there were many wild flowers blooming on the side of the road that she couldn't name.
"There's no winter here in Shippo Town, is it?" Lu Li became excited when he saw it, and asked a question.
Song Hai, who was driving, immediately responded, "Yes, the winter here is also more than ten degrees above zero, compared to our Fengtian, it is not called winter, Fengtian is cold now, right?" ”
Lu Li also immediately replied to him, "Yes, my mother also said that I should bring a down jacket, this temperature is not necessary." ”
He Linxi, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating all the time, slowly opened his eyes when he heard this, "At night and morning at the relocation site, it is not warmer than Fengtian, and the temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains is very large. ”
Song Hai laughed, "Yes, my mother won't lie to her daughter!" Director He is right, it is cold in the morning and evening at the construction site. ”
Lu Li also laughed at what they said, she still liked to chat with Song Hai, so she said: "I just came back from Irbin in the Arctic Circle, and I'm quite comfortable with the cold, it's okay." ”
Song Hai sighed, "You go to Irbin, the end of the world!" I envy you so much! ”
Lu Li smiled proudly, "Yes, the end of the world, or the end of the world of the polar night, I really can't see the sun all day long!" It's magical! ”
Two young men opened up the conversation because of the Arctic Circle.
He Linxi felt that they were a little noisy, but listening to the joy in Lu Li's tone, she swallowed the words that told them to shut up.
Chatting and chatting, the topic suddenly reached the aurora Song Hai heard that Lu Li saw the rare pink aurora, so he shouted to see the photo, and offered to add Lu Li> He Linxi finally couldn't bear it anymore, she opened her eyes and sat up straight, "Are you young people like this now, you have to add a > first not long after we meet, her obvious complaining tone made the two young people who were chatting cold and cold, Lu Li was afraid that Song Hai would be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to whisper Song Hai >
The car was almost at its destination at this time.
He Linxi picked up his mobile phone to make a call, and when Lu Li saw it, he motioned for Song Hai to go back and talk again, and the two of them were silent.
I don't know who the call is to, Lu Li only listened to He Linxi ask on the phone, what did the police say after calling the police. Lu Li was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that the emergency would be involved with the police, could it be that the film crew lost something important.
Lu Li's previous excitement gradually calmed down, and Song Hai also slowly stopped the car and told Lu Li that he had arrived at the place.
As soon as the car stopped, someone came over and opened the door of the van, He Linxi nodded outside, talked about his mobile phone and got out of the car first, Lu Li followed her and also got down, and several people around looked at her.
are all unfamiliar faces, and Lu Li finds that he really knows too little about his mother's work partners.
Song Hai walked to Lu Li's side and took the initiative to help her introduce and greet everyone, but before the introduction was finished, He Linxi had already shouted loudly.
Several people threw down Lu Li and trotted towards He Linxi, and Song Hai followed.
Lu Li was the only one left, facing her and her mother's suitcases, not knowing what she was going to do next.
She looked at her mother's back as she was surrounded and walked farther and farther away, and sat helplessly on the suitcase.
As soon as she sat down, she saw a boy who looked like she was eighteen or nineteen years old running towards her, and the person soon arrived in front of Lu Li, who stood up and glared at him with some vigilance.
The boy smiled at Lu Li very restrainedly, and asked her, "Hello, are you Director He's daughter?" ”
Lu Li subconsciously didn't make a sound, and nodded perfunctorily.
The boy immediately continued, "I am a native of Qibao Town, and I work in Director He's film crew, my name is Song Yichen, and the director asked me to take you to the hotel first...... Come with me. ”
