Chapter 174: Revisiting the Secret Room
After a long time, I replied to my sister: "Sister, I will move out soon, and we will live together then, after so many years, I really want to be with you, like we did when we were children, that is home." "Where there is a sister, there is my home. But I couldn't help but think of the feeling of being with Lu Zenghan on Chinese New Year's Eve, which was also like home. Which one should be home?
My sister's "good" word pulled me back to reality, I can't have no conscience, my sister always comes first.
I didn't sleep well all night, and the next morning, I couldn't help but take out the key from the bedside and open the locked room. I was too sloppy that day, and I didn't see a lot of things carefully, and from the mouths of my sister and Lu Zenghan, I didn't get any useful information, so I had to pin my hope on that room again.
The door creaked open, and my heart seemed to be covered with a layer of dust along with the dusty objects. This world, after all, is mysterious. A lot of people, a lot of feelings, can't stand scrutiny. At first glance, it is a beautiful place, but when you touch it carefully, it is all a piece of dust.
I flipped through them one by one. On the left-hand side, there are two wardrobes, I open them, and the clothes are my sister's sizes, with different styles, formal wear, dresses, and dresses with very open scales. The formal dress is my sister's, and I want to come to the dress. Next to the wardrobe is a writing desk, on which are piled up several cardboard boxes, as well as some unopened gifts. I opened the cardboard box and looked at it carefully, and most of them were small objects in my sister's style. I saw these things last time, but this time I rewatched them, and I had a different taste in my heart.
I only noticed at this moment that there were still a few drawers on the desk, and I didn't pay attention to it last time. I opened the drawer, there was a scrolled painting, I opened it, stunned, this is a minimalist oil painting, the person in the painting is familiar to me, Lu Zenghan's delicate face with a hint of cynical smile, just like the first time I saw him. The busts are extremely delicately drawn, especially the demeanor, and captured very accurately. And even the folds and details of the clothes are handled delicately. The background is this house, the image of Lu Zenghan sitting loosely and casually against this desk. The brushwork of the painting is my sister's, yes. I looked at it again, and my hand began to shake again, and in the lower right corner of the drawing, there were several small letters, "Tomyseet", and a signature "xin".
My sister called Lu Zenghan "sweetheart", and she also gave her name "Xin". My sister never jokes with people casually, I remember when I was in junior high school, my sister was in high school, and many people liked to play with the title of "brother and sister" to be intimate, my sister never allowed others to call her that, and once said to me in a righteous and solemn manner: "Don't engage in those ambiguous titles, who is his sister?" If you want to set it, you can almost call it grandma. "According to my sister's temper, if it was a joke, it would never be possible to call Lu Zenghan sweetheart, unless the relationship between the two people has reached that level.
The painting suddenly became hot in my hand, and I hurriedly rolled it up as it was and put it in a drawer. A few more drawers were opened, and nothing was gained. Next to the desk is the bookcase, I opened the place where the books were placed on it, there were a few books, the content seemed to be read by my sister, painting skills, and a few, but there were also a few books on psychology, I pulled out a protruding book, which was psychological, and I saw that my sister had drawn a mark on it, and there were places marked with small characters "Ask Qiaoqiao". Did my sister ask me questions about psychology? I thought about it, but I found nothing. It's been so long, I can't remember it anymore. I roughly flipped through the pages, and these are all books on social psychology, as well as some psychology related to love. It's probably related to my sister's work and life.
I was about to put the book back, and suddenly found that behind the book, there was a small box, I took it out and opened it, inside was a DR diamond ring, the diamond was quite large, it looked like it had to be five carats, I opened the inner circle, engraved with my sister's initials "XKY". DR Diamond Ring? I remember a few years ago, when I was still in the United States, I suddenly received a call from my sister one day, and on the other end of the phone was a light and happy voice that she hadn't had for a long time, and someone proposed to her with a "DR" diamond ring. I still remember that day was just after my "final" day, the sky was exceptionally blue, the sunlight through the leaves and fingers was golden, and with my sister's happiness, it was a perfect day for me, and I bought an ice cream to celebrate.
It was also from that day that I learned about the DR brand, and a man can only give a woman a ring with his ID number in his life, so he has a good fortune to cherish for a lifetime. And the "" who gave her the ring, my sister has always kept it a secret from me. Now it seems that there is no doubt that it should be Lu Zenghan, if it was given by another man, how could it be collected in his house? I think it was returned to him when my sister broke up with him.
It's just that DR's diamond ring is not cheap, and with this size, more than two million is wanted. But think about Lu Zenghan's family background, he could receive hundreds of thousands of cars as gifts in junior high school, even if something happened later, he also said that the enemy family made the business bigger, but let him share a lot of money. It won't be that hard to buy such a ring. I looked at the ring again, and there was the certificate and number in the box, and I thought about it and wrote down the number. With the number, you should be able to find out the ID information of the customized person. I felt a little ridiculous, the evidence was in front of me, and I was thinking about luck. What can be inferred with common sense is not that the heart of the Yellow River is immortal.
I put the ring back in its place, dizzy. I was holding on to the table, next to the bookcase, there was a pile of paintings, and I was about to bend down to look at it, when I suddenly heard the sound of the door locking. Lu Zenghan is here? I hurried out of the room and locked the door, and when it was too late to get to the living room, I took it to the nearest bathroom and washed my face.
I rubbed in the bathroom for a long time, repeatedly doing psychological construction for myself. Until Lu Zenghan's voice came: "Ke Qiao, where is it?" ”
"Here we are." I hurriedly answered and walked out.
Seeing that my face was wet, Lu Zenghan was puzzled: "Just woke up?" He looked at the wall clock on the wall, "What time is it?" ”
When I looked, it was already two o'clock. Some Mu Ran responded: "Oh, I was sleepy again just now, so I went to wash my face." "Lu Zenghan brought me a lot of food and put it on the table.
"Didn't eat, did you? It just so happened that I didn't eat either. Lu Zenghan said and sat down at the table, and I also went over, but I picked up the chopsticks, I had no appetite, just looked at Lu Zenghan's face slowly, and "seet" and "DR" kept appearing in my mind, like a light overflowing without tracks. This man who I gave all my sincerity turned out to have given all his sincerity to my sister, no wonder he was so embarrassed and entangled when he accepted me.
"See what I do? Is the meal unappetizing? Lu Zenghan looked at me all the time and looked at me strangely.
"Nope." I came to my senses, shook my head, and said, "By the way, I want to move out." ”
Lu Zenghan was stunned, and then said with a cold face: "I told you yesterday, don't even think about it." ”
"What are you? Is it restricting my freedom in life? I couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "I'm not one of yours." Can you lock me up for the rest of my life? ”
I don't know where my words touched Lu Zenghan, his face was a little tangled, and then he laughed at himself: "Yes, I can't lock you up for the rest of your life." Where are you going to move? ”
Seeing that he had loosened up, my grievances just now eased a little, and said, "It's still the same, Yingying moved away, and I just continued to rent." It's a two-bedroom apartment, and my sister can live there. ”
"Your sister, do you want to live in Nancheng for a long time?" Lu Zenghan was a little surprised.
"Hmm." I nodded, "But I don't know how long I will stay, and she said she might stay forever." As you know, my sister and I haven't lived together for years, and if we're here, my sister won't be living there. ”
"Why can't you live here?" Lu Zenghan frowned and said, "I'll move out, you two will live, it's safer here after all." ”
I glanced at him meaningfully, and my heart was cold: "Do you think it's possible?" His suggestion is simply funny, is it for the sake of safety, not even self-esteem?
Lu Zenghan also seemed to sense something, and thought for a while: "Then do what you think." He didn't speak again.
After finishing the meal sullenly, I continued to pack my things, Lu Zenghan looked at me thoughtfully, and only said that he would help me move to the new house when I finished packing. I called Yingying and asked her to help me make an appointment with the landlord, sign the agreement in the evening, and move the things over by the way. It has been decided, there is no need to drag mud and water.
The agreement was signed smoothly in the evening, I paid the deposit and half a year's rent, and Lu Zenghan helped me carry it, the house was still the same as before, and Yingying still left a lot of small things she bought. Lu Zenghan found a property to change our door locks, I told him that it was not necessary, Lu Zenghan was noncommittal and just insisted on changing it, and I had to go with him. Thinking that Han Muzhi also has the key to the house, it is really inconvenient. There were five keys to the new lock, I took one for myself and was going to give one to my sister, and the rest was put in a drawer.
cleaned up neatly, Lu Zenghan left first. I locked the door and sent my sister a WeChat message with the address and photo of the new house. Then he lay in bed and did not wake up. On this day, I was so tired, not only physically tired, but even more mentally tired. The relationship between my sister and Lu Zenghan seems to be getting clearer and clearer. I know that my sister left Nancheng because of love, but is that person Lu Zenghan? I was getting more and more confused, I didn't know if Lu Zenghan was the one who broke my sister's heart, or just a love story for hers.
It was noon the next day when I woke up again, and my sister replied that I would come over as soon as possible. I'm a little worried, what the hell is my sister doing? Suddenly I thought that Lu Zenghan told me that Fu Yayuan and my sister were old acquaintances, can I ask her to knock on the side and ask? But how did you find this person? I thought of Yang Yize, and maybe he could help me check.
