After Lu Dong left, Gu Linchuan stood quietly by the window alone for a long time.

His deep eyes looked down on the jagged old and new buildings and the ever-congested streets of L City.

In this city that slowly woke up from a deep sleep, the sunrise, the noise, and the traffic could not awaken the memories that he had sealed for many years.

"Didi......"

The mobile phone alarm on the table rang, interrupting Gu Linchuan's thoughts.

He walked slowly to the table, took out the medicine bottle from his bag, poured out two pills, and ate it with the cold water in the cup.

Over the years, his work style has been severely overdrawn by his body, in addition to the deterioration of gastrointestinal function, the headache is getting worse day by day, and the two days before returning to China are even worse.

His doctor said that medicine can only be used as an adjunct to treatment, and that heart disease must also be treated with heart medicine, and that only by finding the root cause of the disease can there be hope of cure.

However, Gu Linchuan only actively accepts medication, he believes that as long as he takes medicine on time, the disease will always be cured, and there should be no wounds in this world that cannot be healed by time.

After a moment's hesitation, he picked up the car keys in a drawer and went downstairs.

Lu Dong knew that he had always been restrained and low-key, so he specially chose a black retro off-road car for him.

Gu Linchuan got into the car, relieved the symptoms of the headache, started the car and drove out slowly along the corner with the brakes, and just after going around the pillar, a woman with long hair walked quickly.

He stepped on the brakes and sat quietly in the car, waiting for the woman on the opposite side who was only looking at her phone to approach step by step, until she hit the front of his car and scattered everything on the ground.

That face is still the same as before, it has faded from the lustrous fullness of youth, thinner, but more mature, less flamboyant, more delicate and restrained.

At that moment, I met again after a long absence, but it was like seeing each other for the first time.

From the long river of eight years, to the real appearance in front of his eyes, it was only at this moment that he had a clear consciousness, for the city and for her, he was back.

He sat in the car and quietly watched Mu Xi squatting under the bright headlights to pick up things, the yellow light gilded the side face behind her hair with a halo, she turned her head sideways to talk on the phone, even if her brows were slightly wrinkled, but she still had such radiant eyebrows and eyes, and even gave people an ignorant and harmless illusion when she didn't speak.

However, although there has been no contact for so many years, Gu Linchuan knows everything outside of her love life, and he knows that Xiao Muxi, who followed him all day long and did nothing, is now not only a famous best-selling author, but also a planner of a well-known magazine.

He was in a daze, and Xiao He, the assistant who had just landed, called.

"Boss, I'm here, I've brought all the relevant information you gave me, and I'll be at the company in about ten minutes."

"Okay."

Gu Linchuan watched the woman in front of the car stand up, pulled back her scattered long hair, her beautiful face was flushed with a slight flush and looked aura, she waved her hand backwards at him, probably something fell under the car and motioned him to move back.

Gu Linchuan was stunned by this sudden interaction.

"By the way, Mr. Gu, before leaving, Mr. Xiao asked me to remind you not to forget about the children's welfare home, and Ms. Li hopes to meet you as soon as possible."

As he was talking, Li Muxi had already walked to the car window and knocked on the glass, Gu Linchuan held the phone in one hand and put one hand on the steering wheel, with the knocking sound of the glass, his fingers moved subconsciously, and his heartbeat seemed to be chaotic.

"Mr. Gu? Are you listening? ”

Xiao He couldn't hear a reply for a long time, so he asked cautiously.

Gu Linchuan came back to his senses and said coldly: "I know, I will go over after the meeting at five o'clock in the afternoon, and you will turn down all my invitations tonight." ”

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he looked out the window again, and there was already a man dressed flamboyantly beside Mu Xi who was talking to her in an intimate manner.

He saw the man pulling and pulling at her, but she looked relaxed and natural, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, and called Xiao He, who was about to hang up the phone, and said, "By the way, you get off the plane in a while and go buy a bunch of sunflowers for me." ”

Xiao He, who had always been straightforward and decisive, suddenly stopped moving, and asked in a hesitant tone after a while: "Boss, are you talking about flowers?" ”

"Yes!"

Xiao He was uncharacteristically verbose: "Boss, are there any requirements for the packaging of this flower, how many are more suitable, do you need any special meaning of the matching flowers?" ”

"Boss......?"

Seeing that Gu Linchuan didn't answer, although Xiao He had pretended to be calm, he could hardly control his strong desire for knowledge.

"Do you need to ask so much?" Gu Linchuan's voice froze.

"Uh...... Boss, this is the first time I've encountered this kind of thing after I've been with you for so many years, and I don't have much experience. ”

"Forget it, you don't need to go, you can send the location of the nearby flower shop to my mobile phone."

Xiao He let out a meaningful sigh, and his tone suddenly changed briskly.

Gu Linchuan frowned, and said in a cold and hard tone: "Xiao He, don't you want to go back to China, or you will go back directly after getting off the plane in a while." ”

"No, no, Mr. Gu, I don't know anything, I didn't think about anything, I'll send you the location right away."

Gu Linchuan threw down the phone, and saw that Li Muxi was smiling and helping the other party sort out his collar, and his heart was even more unhappy, so he drove the car out with one foot on the accelerator.

Out of the basement, Gu Linchuan parked the car against the green belt.

He got out of the car, lit a cigarette in the car, and stood for a while in the bright morning light, watching the road not far away gradually saturated with the flow of people and cars, but he suddenly calmed down.

The cold to freezing expression warmed up little by little, in any case, this is no longer a foreign country, but a city with her.

No matter how worried about the long-lost traffic is, it is just an excuse to want to have an encounter.
