Chapter 23: Choose Carefully

Lin Lin wrote down the name of Bai Xinyu on the postcard in a dignified manner.

Lu Li blinked vigorously and slowly looked up at Lin Lian's face, she didn't expect that this postcard was actually sent to a dead person.

After Lin Lin wrote the last word on the postcard, he turned his eyes to look at Lu Li, who was still stunned beside him, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, "Scared you?" ”

Lu Li's eyes flickered, and she shook her head while answering that she was not scared, but her eyes were still staring at the name on the postcard.

Lin Xiao turned his head and looked at Xu Wei behind him, the smile on his face dissipated, "You still need to practice your deceptive kung fu...... When she was still there, we had a pact that if we couldn't see each other every day for a while, we would insist on sending each other a postcard every week, and I was just fulfilling my promise. ”

"Oh." Lu Li answered in a low voice, not knowing what else he could say, so he had to awkwardly withdraw his gaze to check the postcard he was going to send to his father.

Xu Wei walked over at this time, and Lu Li lowered his head and listened to him say to Lin Lian, "Do you have to keep fulfilling this promise?" People have been gone for two years, and they are the kind of people who can't come back. ”

Lin Xiao didn't say anything.

Lu Li didn't dare to look up at his expression at the moment, so he had to pretend to continue to check his postcard, and a layer of fine sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

I don't know what she's nervous about.

After a long time, I heard Lin Lin and the old man at the post office talking, his voice was very gentle and laughing, it didn't seem to be affected by the conversation just now, Lu Li pursed his lips and turned his head to him.

Lin Lin handed the postcard to the old man at the post office, and after saying thank you with a smile, he raised his hand and patted Xu Wei's shoulder, "I'm really fine, I just want to hold on for a while...... After all, it's only been two years, which is not long. ”

After saying the last sentence, his gaze intersected with Lu Li's gaze, and his lips tightened.

Lu Li's heart suddenly ached faintly, obviously uncomfortable, but she looked at Lin Lin and smiled.

"Just figure it out for yourself." Xu Wei raised his hand and pressed it heavily on the back of Lin Shi's hand on his shoulder, and his voice interrupted the two people's eyes.

Lu Li and Lin Lin both turned their gazes to Xu Wei.

Lin Lin raised his eyes and looked at the door of the post office, "Okay, my business is done, now I can leave for the banquet." ”

Lu Li blinked, it turned out that he and Director Xu were going to eat together, and listening to his tone, it seemed that someone else was still treating.

"yes, it's almost time!" Xu Wei said, turning his head to look at Lu Li, "Lu Li, you came out alone, why didn't you come with them?" ”

"I just want to walk alone." Lu Li was too lazy to explain, and curled the corners of his mouth to answer.

Xu Wei frowned a little, "Although the place here is not big and it is quite safe, but a girl still has to pay more attention to safety, where are you going to go later?" ”

Lu Li was asked, she hadn't thought about where to go after leaving the world's northernmost post office.

After waiting for a while and not hearing an answer, Xu Wei's brows furrowed even deeper, and he was just about to say something, but Lin Lin took the lead.

Lin Lin took off his sunglasses and looked at Lu Li, and asked her softly, "Tonight is Doctor Xu's dinner invitation, if you don't have other special arrangements, you don't mind eating with us...... I invite you on behalf of Dr. Xu. ”

It turned out to be Dr. Xu's treat.

As soon as Lu Li remembered the unpleasant farewell scene last night, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and this appearance fell on Lin Li's somewhat blurred vision...... It's special.

"I'm not going, I'm going to look around again." Lu Li hesitated, but still refused the invitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, the stinky pig who had been quietly following Lin Li's feet before suddenly wagged his tail in front of Lu Li, and the big dog raised his head to look at Lu Li, and snorted twice in his mouth.

"It's an invitation to you." Lin Lin whispered a translation for his Wang Xingren.

Lu Li bent down to touch the stinky pig with a doting face, and for a moment she wanted to happily agree to the invitation, but with a flash of thought, she still decided not to go.

Lin Lin raised his hand to put the sunglasses back on, and continued to invite Lu Li without saying more, "Then you pay attention to safety and go back to the hotel early...... Stinky pig, let's go. ”

Xu Wei also told Lu Li to be careful again before leaving, and left the post office with Lin Lin after speaking.

Lu Li stood in front of the counter and watched their backs disappear from sight, and the sense of loss that appeared at some point in his heart added a little more.

After handing the postcard to the old man at the post office, she said goodbye to the old man a little listlessly, and only remembered that she had forgotten to take a photo with the "northernmost post office in the world" after walking out for a long time.

When she was standing on the side of the road and hesitating to turn around to make up a selfie, the mobile phone in her pocket vibrated suddenly, and Lu Li took out her mobile phone in a trembling way to see that it was her father who sent her WeChat.

- My big fruit baby, have fun flying, right? Daddy misses you.

Looking at the line of words on the mobile phone screen, Lu Li's eyes suddenly became hot, she brought the mobile phone screen close to her eyes, and reached out to type in reply.

- Whew! Dad, I miss you too! I sent you a postcard to check it, but it was sent to you from the northernmost post office in the world, are you in the inn? How's business going today.

Dad replied very quickly - thank you for the sweet big fruit! I'm not at the inn, I'm at home...... It is said that I have not been doing exceptionally well lately.

Lu Li looked at this reply carefully, focusing on the "...... at home", she thought about it and first sent a puzzled expression, and then typed - at home? Dad, have you returned to Mukden? My mother and I are not at home, what are you doing when you go home, is there something wrong?

This time the reply was a little slower, and Lu Li stared at the screen and felt like he had been waiting for a long time.

Dad replied to her - don't worry, it's okay, I'm just coming back to deal with a little bit of work from before. By the way, did you see the aurora at the North Pole? Remember to post it on Moments, but you don't always post it.

Lu Li smiled bitterly, a little unconvinced of her father's answer, but she also knew her father's temper, and he didn't want to say that it was useless to ask more.

- Whoa, I haven't seen it yet, so it's a matter of luck! It's not that if you come to the North Pole, you will definitely be able to see it, I never like to post on Moments, if I see it, I will send you a photo alone!

Dad's reply is still very fast - pay attention to the body and safety of the big fruits! I heard what kind of city you went to...... Longyearbyen City is a one-night ~ love area, you have to choose carefully, you know what Dad means......

Lu Li looked at the phone screen and laughed out loud.

Dad seems to have looked up information on the Internet, and even knows the jokes on the Internet that have a Longyearbyen paragraph.

She looked down and thought about it, and replied to her fatherβ€”!! How can there be any night~ love, why haven't I met it? Where is it! Don't worry, Dad, I won't.

As soon as it was sent, the phone screen suddenly went dark, and then it went completely black. Lu Li frowned, and the phone was turned off at this time.

She looked at the black screen in annoyance, it seemed that she could only hurry back to the hotel to recharge, but she didn't have to worry about where to go.

Ten minutes later, Lu Li hurriedly pushed open the door of the hotel and walked in.

As soon as I entered, I noticed that there were several backpackers standing in the public area on the first floor, who were supposed to be new residents.

Mark was busy at the front desk, and when he saw Lu Li enter the door, he said hello to her, and Lu Li answered and went upstairs back to the room.

After charging the phone, Lu Li received several WeChat messages from her father as soon as she turned it on, and she was afraid that her father would worry about it and hurriedly returned - I'm fine, the phone suddenly ran out of power when I was outside just now, and I'm charging it in the hotel now.

Dad seemed to be relieved, and after he replied that he was going to meet someone on an errand, he never sent a message again.

Lu Li was lying on the bed waiting for her phone to be full, she looked at the ceiling with some boredom, and when she turned her head, she saw the booklet introducing the subject that was resting on the pillow and had not finished reading.

The booklet was buckled on the pillow, Lu Li picked it up and held it up in front of him, the page still stopped at Bai Xinyu's introduction, the last time he didn't finish reading it in the middle of the night, he was interrupted by the movement downstairs, and Lu Li almost forgot about this stubble.

…… Do you want to keep reading? Lu Li held the booklet, a little undecided.

The sense of loss in her heart has always been there, and it feels like it is getting worse and worse, before Lu Li was not sure why she was like this, but now she suddenly saw these words introducing Officer Bai Xinyu, and she suddenly understood.

Lu Li closed his eyes and decided to continue reading.
