After Liang Dong said this, he seemed to regret it a little, and actually raised his hand to slap himself lightly.

Xu Bai stared at him, staring at Liang Dong's spine a little cold.

His heart was crossed, and he simply said to the end: "Xiao Xu, Brother Liang will be honest with you." Before you and Lu Kun got married, we all thought that they would become a couple. Usually that girl has a good relationship with a group of old men in the institute, and she often buys this and that, and Brother Liang has also received a lot of things from her. So if you want to ask something, you can go to her yourself, you go out the door and turn right and go downstairs, and she's in the data room on the second floor at the corner of the stairs, but don't say it's what I said. ”

Xu Bai frowned, but he didn't say anything, as if he was secretly weighing something.

After the coffee was brewed, Liang Dong poured her a cup.

"Thank you, Brother Liang." Xu Bai held the cup, and then asked, "Is this archaeological institute recruiting from outside?" ”

Liang Dong said: "Recruit is recruit. Why, want to introduce acquaintances through the back door? Coincidentally, I'm going to recruit next week, but it's not easy to get into. ”

Xu Bai took a sip of coffee and said lightly: "What positions are generally recruited?" ”

Liang Dong approached, crossed his fingers and said, "If you are a newcomer, there are secretaries, and there are also field archaeological posts in the research room. ”

Xu Bai pursed his lips: "Do you have specific requirements?" ”

Liang Dong said: "The recruitment of the archaeological institute is very strict, and the worst academic qualifications are also obtained from graduate students, and they have to specialize in archaeology, cultural relics or museology. Meeting these conditions is only a prerequisite, and you have to go through layers of interviews and assessments, and in the end, only one or two of all applicants will be selected. ”

Xu Bai looked serious: "Suppose you don't graduate from these majors, but you have a special talent for archaeological work?" ”

Liang Dong sipped coffee: "Of course, there are special talents. For some particularly talented people, what can be ignored by academic qualifications, talent first. ”

Xu Bai secretly wrote down these words, and after drinking a cup of coffee, he got up unhurriedly and said goodbye to Liang Dong politely.

According to what Liang Dong said earlier, Xu Bai came to the stairs on the second floor.

The library is written on the wall next to the door.

Xu Bai walked to the door and raised his hand to knock on the door a few times.

"Enter." A crisp and decisive female voice pierced through the ear.

Xu Bai pushed the door and entered.

In front of the reddish-brown table sat a well-proportioned girl with short shoulder-length hair.

The girl tapped the keyboard and looked up.

The moment he saw Xu Bai, there was a hint of shock in his eyes.

"Xu Bai? Miss Xu? ”

The other party's opening sentence also made Xu Bai flurry.

She stood at the door, her small mouth overflowing with a light voice: "Hello, I'm Xu Bai." ”

"Meng Jinhui, I have admired the name for a long time, sit."

Xu Bai pulled out the chair opposite Meng Jinhui's desk.

"Coffee or tea?"

"I'm not thirsty, thank you."

After a short period of embarrassment, Meng Jinhui lit a cigarette, took a puff and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

Xu Bai glanced at her, this girl surnamed Meng looked one or two years younger than her, spoke very directly, and her expression was generous and unflinching, which was the type that Xu Bai admired.

Xu Bai didn't answer Meng Jinhui's question directly, but asked, "How did you know about me?" ”

Meng Jinhui must have blown out a cigarette and flicked the cigarette ash and said, "Naturally, it's because I have a good relationship with your man." ”

The tone sounded a bit provocative.

When Xu Baixin was playing the drums, Meng Jinhui suddenly smiled: "Don't be nervous, we are masters and apprentices, and we are also good working partners, and of course we are also very good friends in private." Although my cousin and I both liked him and pursued him passionately, unfortunately, we both failed. Lu Kun only has you in his heart, and no one wants to walk in except you. I have known you for a long time, because my cousin and I are both from Peking University, my cousin is in the same class as you, and I am one year younger than you. Oh, but I'm studying antiquities. ”

Such generous words made Xu Bai more interested in the girl in front of him.

Although Meng Jinhui's character is not necessarily a man's favorite, it must be the one that a woman wants to be the most.

Even in the face of a first-time conversation, she can use her confidence and straightforwardness just right.

"Tell me, what are you looking for me today?" Meng Jinhui spoke again.

Xu Bai felt that since the other party was so direct, he didn't need to say anything, and dealing with it directly with the same was the way to truly respect.

Xu Bai said: "I want to know Lu Kun's mental and behavioral state when he returned to China. ”

Meng Jinhui raised her eyes and said in shock: "How are you sure I know?" It seems like you'd be better off asking him that question. ”

Xu Bai said: "He won't say it." ”

Meng Jinhui pressed out the cigarette, rubbed his ten fingers a few times, and said tentatively: "Since you know that he is not in a good state when he returns to China, then you know that he is ...... abroad."

Xu Bai interrupted her lightly: "Being mentally controlled by people, controlled by drugs, for up to two years. ”

Meng Jinhui shrugged: "You know more than I imagined. The fingers of her right hand tapped a few times on the wooden table, and she said, "I can tell you." ”

In the end, out of concern for Lu Kun's physical condition, Meng Jinhui told her many things that Xu Bai did not know before.

After listening to a bunch of narrations, Xu Bai's face was already as white as paper.

Meng Jinhui said: "Education and love, he can give up his education for you." But life and love, of course, choose life, but this does not mean that he gave up his love for you, otherwise why would he live secretly in those two years and insist on living in the way he agrees. I think he must have had some moments when he almost compromised, but he would have liked to stand in front of you again one day, a man who could stand in the sun and face you. ”

Xu Bai's heart ached, and his eyes began to moisten.

She also told Meng Jinhui some hidden questions in her heart.

After two hours of communication, it was dark outside the window, and most of the other colleagues in the archaeological institute had left work, except for Meng Jinhui's office.

Meng Jinhui got up and poured Xu Bai a glass of water.

Xu Bai unconsciously held the cup and poured it into his mouth one by one.

She said inattentively, "That's why I saw your sister in front of the glass window that time." ”

Meng Jinhui returned to the table: "I know that her behavior is very unkind, but for a woman who has had a crush on him for several years, she completely lost her initiative because she lived in the same bedroom with you." After graduating, you lose touch with her, and your college roommate falls apart. At that time, the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, so she had nothing to worry about asking the school about Lu Kun's residence and began to bravely pursue her love. ”

Xu Bai continued to drink water, and when she put down the cup, she looked ahead with unfocused eyes: "This also means that what I saw is true, but why did Lu Kun say that he didn't remember Zhan Qian." ”

Meng Jinhui said: "This proves even more that Lu Kun didn't pay any attention to other girls except you, even if this girl lived in the same room with you, he wouldn't pay attention." Besides, after graduation, my cousin remarried a wealthy businessman, and Zhan Qian changed her name for the sake of factors such as property division in the future. So when she went to find Lu Kun, she only used the identity of a sister from Peking University to visit her, maybe she subconsciously felt that introducing herself to Lu Kun as your roommate would make her more shameless. ”

Xu Bai lowered his eyes, and his voice became weaker and weaker: "Since Lu Kun only has me in his heart, why did he kiss her?" ”

Meng Jinhui smiled: "Beauty, you all know that Lu Kun was used as an experiment in spirit and medicine in those two years, such a person, even if he does something out of the ordinary, he may not really be controlled by the brain." In fact, you should be thankful for her. ”

"Thanks?" Xu Bai wrinkled his eyebrows, puzzled, what is there to be thankful for?

At that time, it was probably the sequelae of the drug that caused him to hallucinate. Because she's a geology major like you, you know, sometimes a simple word, an old object, can remind one person of another, but nothing more deviant happened to them that day. It was precisely because Lu Kun kissed her in a momentary illusion that she gave her a stupid hope, so she went to Canada again the next year, and that time she was completely aware of the abnormality, which created some conditions for him to finally escape. I won't go into detail about the process, because it's very tortuous. ”

Xu Bai's mood was like a roller coaster.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she fixed her eyes: "Where is Zhan Qian now?" ”

Meng Jinhui said: "I couldn't catch up, so I gave up." A few months ago, her husband accompanied her for a prenatal check-up in Beijing, and now she has been pregnant for several months. ”

Xu Bai was full of emotion for a while, and he didn't say anything.

Meng Jinhui said: "In fact, there are many people in this world who care about him. But I think you are probably the only one who can convince him to accept the treatment obediently. ”

"I'll do my best." Xu Bai licked his lower lips: "Do you know who harmed Lu Kun?" Why did they harm Lu Kun? ”

Meng Jinhui jokingly said: "If I know, I won't give him skin cramps?" Except for this incident, I know everything about Lu Kun later, so I can't help you with this problem. ”

Xu Bai said self-deprecatingly: "You have given me a lot of help today, and my genuine wife is not worthy of your understanding of him." ”

Meng Jinhui smoked another cigarette and said bluntly: "Jealous? I can tell you, I am a new woman in the new era, and if you can't catch him, your relationship will break down and your relationship will be dissolved in the future. If he pursues me in turn, I will never be polite to you. ”

Xu Bai's voice was faint, but he was loud: "Don't worry, I won't give you such a chance." ”

Meng Jinhui smiled: "You are quite interesting." ”

Xu Bai said: "You are the same. ”

"Do you want to have dinner together? I'm in for a treat. ”

Xu Bai got up: "Okay, but let me please this time." ”

Meng Jinhui walked to the place where the bag was hung, took down her black brand-name bag and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

A day later in the night.

Lu Kun was lying on the floor of the living room, his hands intertwined with his fingers, around his face, and on the back of his head.

A pair of eyes fixed on the family portrait directly on the wall opposite.

There are Lu Bainian, Hu Xuanmei, and Lu Peng in the photo.

These are the kinship networks that others have told him about 'Lu Kun' himself.

Yesterday, he had already coped with these people.

Although they are indifferent, they seem to be very accustomed to this indifference.

He also attributed this apathy to the psychological uneasiness after a major accident.

He stared at the identical, unbiased face in the photo, and frowned deeply.

A person who is not sure who he really is is actually quite afraid to face unfamiliar faces.

After staring at the picture for more than an hour, he pulled out another photo from his pocket.

The man in the photo and Lu Kun have the same body shape, but the facial features are very poorly organized...... The appearance is miserable.

The man who claimed to be his father told him that this was what he looked like before he had Lu Kun's appearance.

A look of obscene, ugly, jagged teeth......

Annoyed by it, he tore the photo into several pieces with a few tears, sat up and threw it in the trash.

The two legs wrapped in black trousers were bent on the floor, slightly collapsing outward, and he stared at the 'self' in the family portrait, like a man who had been drained of his soul, and his body was clearly concrete in the light, but it was like a few wisps of green smoke.

His eyes did not have a glimmer of their original light, they were pitch black and frighteningly cold.

In the middle of the night, there was a knock at the door.

Lu Kun sat on the ground and glanced in the direction of the door: "Who." ”

At first no one answered.

The knocking on the door grew louder and louder.

He got up and walked to the door and looked out through the cat's eye.

It was the girl who forced him out a few days ago, Xu Bai.

"Lu Kun, there's a light in the house, I know you're in there. You open the door! ”

Lu Kun's right hand held on to the wall, his long body bent slightly, and he fell into thought.
