Xin Chen was afraid of such a sudden quiet, and there seemed to be memories floating in the air, and these memories became clear in front of him little by little, as if they were tangible and qualitative, and within reach. She could almost feel the blazing sunlight dappled through the thick shade of the plane tree, faintly hear her own crisp laughter when she was young, smell the light fragrance of acacia flowers, and the young man in her memory looked at her, and at this moment coincided with the deep eyes in front of her, also full of concern and tenderness, as if there was no long distance in time.

She bit her lip tightly and pulled herself back to reality. For a long time, she has learned to keep her memories in a corner of her heart and not to turn them around.

Xin Chen successfully showed a casual smile and put aside the mobile phone he had been holding tightly, "You're right, the demolition notice was posted downstairs, it seems that this house is about to come to an end." ”

Lu Fei didn't mind her changing the subject, "What are your plans?" ”

"Let's see."

Lu Fei was not ready to let her perfunctory again, "Didn't you read the announcement date?" ”

"I didn't pay attention."

"The demolition compensation negotiation is about to begin, and the developer this time is Haotian Group, which has always been known for its pursuit of efficiency, and has now completed the preliminary planning and entrusted the demolition to a professional demolition company. As far as I know, the actions and reputation of domestic demolition companies are not good, but they are notoriously fast to guarantee. ”

"It's okay, I don't plan to be a nail household, and I will definitely accept the demolition conditions that most people can accept."

"Where do you want to live in the future, do you like to see the river or the lake? Maybe it's better to plant flowers in a house with a yard in a suburban community, and I'll drive you to see it one day. ”

Xin Chen shook his head, "No, I'm not interested in buying a house, I got the demolition money, and I just went to another place." "Where to go?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I can live for a while in a place with milder climate and flowers blooming all year round, but my work is the same wherever it is done."

"Are you going to get out of here when I get back?"

Xin Chen looked at him with a little surprise, "How could you speculate like that?" There is no causal relationship at all. You've been to a lot of places and know what it's like to live somewhere else. I've been in this city since I was a child, and I've never left except for traveling, isn't it normal to want a change of environment? ”

"I can't help but make such associations, the last time I came back, you went to Qinling; This time, you said you were going somewhere else, and you didn't even say anywhere. ”

"We've been completely out of communication for almost seven years, each with its own life, I really don't know what you think, why do you have to connect two unrelated things?"

"You and I both know that it's not really completely irrelevant, is it?" He looked at her and asked calmly, Xin Chen could only look away, "Xiao Chen, don't deny it." You don't want to see me again, you nearly died on an inadequately prepared hike to escape, and now you've decided to leave the place where you grew up. ”

"You're thinking too much, Lu Fei, my life is not your responsibility." Xin Chen blurted out almost without thinking, and the two of them were stunned at the same time. After a long time, Xin Chen smiled tiredly, "Yes, this is what you said to me when I was 17 years old: Xin Chen, your life is your own business after all, not my responsibility." You see, I memorized every word. After that, I didn't let myself be anyone's responsibility again, so, go ahead and let me arrange my life, and you go and live your life too, okay? ”

This refusal came so clearly and directly, Lu Fei was silent, looking at the still young and beautiful face in front of him with a desolate and cold expression, his heart tightened, "I hate myself." Although self-examination is meaningless, I am indeed an out-and-out fool, Xiao Chen, I actually hurt you with such an indifferent sentence. ”

"I forgot, you're still so self-reflective. No, Lu Fei, I didn't mean to settle or blame you, nor did I gamble with you. In fact, your words are good words for me, and they are definitely not harmful, and I have to understand this truth sooner or later and learn to be responsible for myself. She tilted her head, the nonchalant smile on her face again, "I'm grateful that you taught me this, it's much gentler than letting life teach me a lesson." ”

Her tone was calm, and Lu Fei was speechless for a while.

The mobile phone rang, Xin Chen picked it up and answered, it was David Weifan calling, he told Xin Chen that the LOGO she designed, the customer had just seen it, and was satisfied with the second set of plans, and at the same time proposed that the color tone should be adjusted, Xin Chen agreed one by one, "Okay, okay, although I think this customer of yours is likely to be a little weak, but whoever pays is the boss, I will adjust it according to what he said." ”

She looked back at Lu Fei and said with a smile: "It's really a bit busy at this time, let's talk another day." ”

She politely ordered him to be evicted again, and Lu Fei sighed, "This Saturday, I will invite Uncle Xin's family to dinner, and I will pick you up then, okay?" ”

Xin Chen felt that Aunt Li Xin might not welcome her, but she didn't say anything, "I'll contact my uncle." ”

The door closed behind Lu Fei, Xin Chen stood in a daze, and after a long while, she walked into the bedroom. Her bedroom, like the studio outside, was minimalist, with a bed covered with an off-white bedspread, a large wardrobe, and nothing else.
