Chapter 34: Surfacing
Xiaomin's case has not yet been decided, and during Zou Yukai's detention, a married man, I really can't guess who it is. Lu Zenghan was very busy. I can often see him in Nancheng Economic News, and when I see him, I will have an indescribable mood, like the sea at sunset, floating through a trace of melancholy waves. It's a mindset I've never had. I even began to look forward to his appointment call, and even resented that he had not been able to call. What's wrong with me?
Fortunately, the customer service sister is very powerful, every month will check the visitors who are still in the treatment period, more than a month without an appointment will be reminded, I began to look forward to the end of the month of the investigation. Although I am a counselor, I am very naΓ―ve when it comes to emotions. In the world of feelings, whoever is tempted first loses.
At the end of the month, the customer service finally informed me: "I contacted two people who have not made an appointment for a long time today, one Ms. Xiao has made an appointment for tomorrow's treatment, and Mr. Lu, he asks you to go to Yazhu at 7 o'clock tonight." β
It's Yazhu again. But I was as nervous as I was when I first met a visitor many years ago. After thinking about a few options, I set off an hour early. It's just that I didn't expect that the evening rush hour in Nancheng was unprecedentedly unprecedented, and I arrived at Yazhu Villa at 6:20.
Lu Zenghan hadn't arrived yet, and the small courtyard of Yazhu was really worth playing, so I walked around the courtyard by myself and watched. Suddenly, I saw the landscape painting at the entrance last time, and the light and dark were still intertwined under the sunset, but the layout of this painting seemed familiar. I suddenly remembered that the last painting that Xiao Min had drawn before the accident, that is, the painting I saw with the white team, was this layout, the sea in the distance, the flowers and lawn in the distance, but there was no house and stroller in Xiao Min's painting. I took out my phone and took a picture.
I remember Lu Zenghan said that this painting is the one called "Lao Meng", by the way, Lao Meng, who succeeded Zou Yukai in charge of the voyage ship.
I forcibly suppressed the throbbing in my heart and walked to the front desk: "Hasn't Mr. Lu arrived yet?" "It's 7 o'clock.
"Not yet." The waiter smiled and said, "I'll take you to the private room to have some tea first." β
I responded, "Okay." Following the waiter, I asked casually, "Your painting here was painted by a gentleman surnamed Meng, right?" I've heard Mr. Lu mention it. β
"Yes, Mr. Meng is our boss." The waiter replied.
"Oh." I then asked, "Is Mr. Meng here today?" β
"He hasn't been here for a long time, Mr. Meng is mainly on a voyage now, and the proprietress occasionally comes." The waiter replied.
"Why did Mr. Meng go on a long voyage? What is his relationship with the voyage? I continued to ask.
"We don't know about that. Our store is from Yuanhang. The waiter was a little wary, and he had already arrived in the private room while talking. I sat down and the waiter poured me a cup of chrysanthemum.
After thinking about it, the door opened, Lu Zenghan pushed the door in, and I looked at the clock on the wall: "I waited for you for an hour." β
"So early?" Lu Zenghan looked at me deeply, his eyes crooked and he smiled, "Miss me?" β
My heart skipped a beat, and I glared at him coldly: "You think too much." I'm here to treat you. β
"Oh, yes," Lu Zenghan looked suddenly enlightened, "I remember the last time someone talked to me, she thought of hundreds of treatment options for me, let's try them all today, don't exhaust me." β
