It was already half past seven o'clock in the evening when the taxi stopped in front of the Lu Mansion, but the days in Banyan City in midsummer were long and the nights were short, and the sky was still white at this moment, as if it would never wait for darkness to come.

A woman got out of the car, stared quietly at the three words on the door number for a moment, a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes, and then went to knock on the door.

The person who opened the door was Steward Xia, he didn't know who came, but the woman opened her mouth and said, "I want to see Lu Shao." ”

Steward Xia asked hesitantly, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"My surname is Blue."

"Wait a minute, I'll report first."

Lan Lan narrowed her eyes: "Okay." ”

Steward Xia didn't go directly to Lu Chengyu, but told Song Qi about it first, Song Qi was stunned when he heard this, his surname was Lan ......? She immediately thought of someone, her eyes lit up, and she hurried to the door.

From a distance, she saw the familiar figure outside the door, and she was overjoyed: "Lan xiǎo jiě, it's really you." ”

As we all know, Lan Lan has the best relationship with Nanfeng, and her arrival may be able to prevent Lu Chengyu, who now has to break the net with Sheng Yuchen. She immediately leaned sideways and made a 'please enter' pose, "Lan xiǎo jiě, Lu Shao is in the study." ”

Lan Lan was taken to the third floor by Song Qi, the door of the study was ajar, and she saw Lu Chengyu sitting on the chair working through a gap in the line.

The jacket of the suit was on the back of the chair, he was wearing only a white shirt, clean and tidy, even the tie was meticulous, his eyes calmly swept the lines of data on the document, and occasionally made annotations, as if the departure of the south wind had not affected him in any way.

Song Qi knocked on the door twice, and the man inside raised his head before she said, "Mr. Lu, Lan Xiǎo Jiě is here." ”

Lu Chengyu's expression was unwavering, and when he heard the sudden visit of the woman who was expelled from the Golden Terrace by him, he only narrowed his eyes very slightly.

Lan Lan went in alone, and the closer she got closer, the more she felt that this man really hadn't changed at all, and he was still the noble and calm Lu family, but the coldness that was originally shallow and faint on him didn't know when it began to become sharp and piercing, like an ice pick hanging under the eaves in the middle of winter, and a casual touch made people feel cold all over the body.

Pinning the broken hair in her ear behind her ear, she pursed her lips and said, "Lu Shao, as long as you tell you about Nanfeng, are you willing to stop and stop targeting AS and Mr. Sheng?" ”

Lu Chengyu sat behind his desk and stared: "Do you know where the south wind is?" ”

"I don't know." Lan Lan said bluntly, and then the conversation changed again, "Although I don't know where Nanfeng is, I know that Lu Shao wants to ask the question that Nanfeng asked." ”

That question...... Lu Chengyu raised the corners of his mouth without a smile: "Lan Lan, you have a lot of things to hide for her." ”

So far, Lan Lan is calm: "Anyway, I'm a betrayer who doesn't report it here in Lu Shao, there is no difference between one more crime and one less." ”

Lu Cheng met cold eyes, but he didn't react.

Lan Lan remembered what she had said to this man the last time she came to this mansion: "Lu Shao, I reminded you that you will regret it to Nanfeng like that." ”

Lu Chengyu had a flash of light in his eyes.

What did he do to her?

Imprison her?

Lock her up?

Forcing her to accept the child in her womb?

Or do you want to be entangled with her endlessly?

There seemed to be layers of dense fog under his eyes, Lu Chengyu leaned back and leaned back on the back of the chair, his tone was not serious or light, but with determination, as if he would make the same choice again: "I won't regret it." Not then, not now, and not in the future. ”

Lan Lan was shocked in her heart.

Looking at him, the expression on that handsome and peerless face was exactly the same as when she said the words 'never', but she didn't understand, Nanfeng had gone away because of his injury, how could he still be so obsessed?

Lu Chengyu's lips straightened, returning the topic to the beginning: "What do you know?" ”

Lan Lan looked into the depths of his eyes, and said in a dark tone: "Nanfeng told me a story, and I promised her that she would never tell this story to anyone, but today I'm going to break my promise - because I want you to know how much you owe Nanfeng." ”

The hand under the desk was gently clenched and slowly released, and Lu Chengyu's dark eyes turned from light to dark as the sky outside the window turned from light to dark, and finally it was thick that even the water could not release.

……

When night fell, the electric gate in the Lu Mansion was pulled up by Steward Xia himself, starting from the front yard, passing through the courtyard of Sanjin, and the lights were lit in turn. Looking down from above, the entire mansion is like a pearl left in the woods in the suburbs, shining inside and out.

Steward Xia stood in the courtyard for a while, and the roses under the orange light were delicate and swaying in the wind.

He turned around and wanted to go back to the living room, and when he saw Lan Lan walking out, he immediately stepped forward to see him off, but Lan Lan politely declined his kindness to send her back, and left on foot, his back gradually melting into the darkness.

It didn't take long for Lu Chengyu to come down from the third floor, with a straight suit and an indifferent expression, and told Song Qi to prepare the car - he had a banquet to attend tonight.

Song Qi didn't know what Lan Lan said to Lu Chengyu, and whether she persuaded him not to fight with AS anymore, but she secretly observed that he was always calm, and he didn't seem to have a trace of reaction because of Lan Lan's arrival and what Lan Lan said.

At the banquet, the men wore suits and leather shoes, the women's long skirts were charming, and the lights were bright and green, and Lu Chengyu always had just the right smile on the corner of his mouth, respecting and polite to the seniors in the business world, and taking care of the juniors who asked for advice. Not to mention others, even Song Qi, who has been by his side since he was a child, can't understand him at the moment, and even has a kind of doubt - does he care about Nanfeng's departure?

If he didn't care, then why did he target Sheng Yuchen?

But you have to say that you care...... In the past month, he has lived and worked as usual every day, and he has not left a single thing behind, except for letting them find Nanfeng and reply at any time if they have any news, he has rarely mentioned Nanfeng's name at other times.

It seems, unconsciously, that name became a taboo.

……

At the end of the banquet, it was already eleven o'clock, Lu Chengyu was five or six points drunk, and after getting in the car, he put his forehead on his forehead and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, leaving a glimmer of residual light reflecting the street lamps that were clearly extinguished outside the window.

The light and shadow were distant, and for no reason, he remembered the story about commitment that Lan Lan told.

I remember who said that people can probably only remember in detail what happened in a hundred days, he once thought it was true, until he was reminded of the past by Lan Lan tonight, he found that some things are not usually deliberately remembered does not mean that they are forgotten, they are silently engraved in the bones, and they are so clear from beginning to end.

"Don't you want to know why she was your Qing Rén back then? I know, I'll tell you. In the study, the woman looked angry, with anger in her eyes, as if she wanted to seek justice for someone.

"She was so happy to meet you that day, and for the first time since her brother disappeared, I saw her smile so happily."

"She said, 'Sister Lan, I saw him, it turns out that he is in Rongcheng'."

"I asked, 'Which one?'"

"She said," Lan Lan bit her lower lip and said through gritted teeth, "She said, the man who promised to marry her." ”

"'When you grow up, I'll marry you,' you said to her, maybe you just said it casually, but she always remembered it! Always take it seriously! ”

"Do you think she just took a fancy to your identity and status as the eldest of the Lu family? Oh, why have you never looked at her well, if you had seen her well, how could you not have noticed that as long as you are there, she has always had a smile on her face. ”

…… Is it?

He found that for a moment he couldn't even remember the details of his initial relationship with Nanfeng.

Lan Lan took a deep breath and exhaled with a long sigh: "She approaches you for a purpose, and the only purpose is to love you." ”

"You forgot, but she remembers your promise like a fool."

"You said you wanted to marry her, and she took it seriously."

And she took it seriously......

She took it seriously......

The corners of his mouth released self-deprecation, and Lu Cheng's eyes turned to the rippling waves, and many emotions were intertwined in it and could not be described clearly.

Chaos remembered that the summer in Los Angeles was as hot as it was now.

"When you grow up, I'll marry you."

"Really?"

"yes, really."

"Okay, when you come to marry me, I will marry you."

……

The car passed by the street park and happened to catch the two lyrics hummed softly by the musical fountain:

Someone asked me what was so good about you, I can't forget it after all these years.

No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare to your smile, and those who haven't seen you won't understand.

……

A smiling face with a flying spirit slowly outlined in front of him, as well as a pair of smiling eyes.

The laughter seems to be still in my ears.

"Hey, Lu Shao."

"It's me~"

"Surprised? Not surprised? ”

……

When turning, Song Qi habitually looked at the rearview mirror to pay attention to the car coming from behind, and his vision was inadvertently wrong, and he didn't know what was reflected when he saw the rear window, which shone like a pearl in the moonlight.
