"Yes, I'm not from Licheng, I'm your classmate, and even the name has just been changed - so what?" I asked her rhetorically.
I'm not unspeakable, what can't I say!
I thought it would be very difficult to confess everything to Mr. Ritsu, but I didn't expect that in the situation of "having to", I had the courage to be fearless, and I tore off the seal that locked the secret door and boldly stepped through. I found out that the secret that enveloped it was so empty.
couldn't wait for my panicked look, Lin Xuanyan looked a little frightened. She was unwilling to fight back with evil words: "You are really thick-skinned."
"It's not as thick as you." I reminded her.
"Uncle Ritsu!" She actually asked Mr. Lil for help, and her tone was almost pleading.
Mr. Ritsu's gaze slowly walked over the two of us.
"That's it." Mr. Ritsu asked leisurely, "And then?" ”
I was slightly stunned. I was determined, and I never thought that Mr. Ritsu's reaction would be so flat.
Lin Xuanyan became excited: "Mr. Li, she lied to you!" She's a big liar! ”
"This young lady, it's not your turn to guide the affairs of the law family." Secretary Gao took a step forward and said in a cold voice.
Secretary Gao is usually very indifferent to me, she treats me and my affairs like air, and such a senior secretary is now speaking for me......
I raised my finger and poked at the tip of my nose that was slightly pantothenic.
Lin Xuanyan didn't pay attention to what Secretary Gao said, she continued to work hard at Mr. Li: "I'm not trying to point out anything...... You're mistaken, I just don't want you to be deceived. ”
Mr. Lu coughed lightly, and his tone did not fluctuate: "Does Lin Benming know that his daughter is so rude?" "The air around me cooled suddenly. The previous noise and joy are now like rabbits disturbed by hunters, fleeing in all directions.
Lin Xuanyan was struck by lightning, and her face turned as white as snow.
Mr. Ritsu glanced at her coldly and turned to leave.
Lin Xuanyan, who stayed where she was, looked helplessly at the others in the room, who only watched and pointed at her. She even looked at Ritsu Zhaochuan pleadingly. Lu Zhaochuan looked excited.
"Why don't you believe me?" She murmured, and in her voice, I could hear some despair and loneliness.
No one wanted to listen to her.
She staggered towards the door. Before she reached the door, she tripped and fell to the ground, and did not get up for a long time.
No one reached out to help her.
"Selangor, you accompany me to the courtyard for a walk."
Mr. Ritsu called me. This is what it means to have something to say to me alone. I promised to follow immediately.
"What's the matter with this Lin Xuanyan, I heard Secretary Gao say that she often came to our house to look for you before." Entering the courtyard, there was no one around, and Mr. Ritsu's tone was flat, almost chatting.
"Yes." I decided to be honest about everything, but before that, "Uncle, can I ask you a question before I answer your question?" ”
"Just ask."
"Uncle, I'm not—" I regrouped my words, "I was actually picked up by my dad from the water's edge, and I was injured and I can't remember anything before, so my dad adopted me. Did my dad tell you this in the first place? ”
"When you say 'at the beginning', you mean at what point in time, if I define 'at the beginning', yes, your dad didn't say it, in a sense, he deceived me."
I covered my mouth in shock, bowed deeply and apologized: "I'm sorry. ”
Mr. Lil: "He didn't tell me about you until he decided to take your mother to the United States for treatment, and he didn't worry about leaving you alone in China and sending you over." ”
Me: "......"
"Do you think your father sent you here as Yue Ling?"
"Hmm." I'll tell you the truth.
Mr. Law sighed: "You children, each of you is more important than the other. ”
My eyes are hot.
I know, I know, I'm not collateral!
"Your father told me that he had searched for your family and found it, but he found that your original home was no longer suitable for you to go back to, so he decided to officially adopt you. I hope you don't get him wrong. ”
I nodded, "I understand." ”
Although he was not my biological father, my father did his best to take care of everything for me in a place I didn't know.
How fortunate I am to have met them.
"You're a good boy." Mr. Ritsu stroked my head.
Although there was a bit of unpleasantness, our "book launch reception" was a smooth end.
Lin Xuanyan completely disappeared around me.
I wasn't thinking about her. But Su Weining, as one of the onlookers, paid attention to her future movements and specially came to tell me what happened next.
She vanished. She disappeared not only around me, but also in front of everyone.
"Anyway, no one knows where she went."
After listening to Su Weining's narration, I realized that something was wrong, but I couldn't say why.
"In the future, she probably won't come back to make trouble. She is really strange, and the tricks she uses will only push Lu Zhaochuan farther and farther. ”
"You're curious about her."
"She's always had ghosts." Su Weining frowned, "Sister, she is not a simple person, you must definitely stay away from her as far away as possible." ”
She and Ritsu Zhaochuan ...... Ever been together? "I rarely gossip.
"Who? Lin Xuanyan? How can it be! Su Weining exaggeratedly shouted, "From the realization to the present, they have definitely not more than thirty sentences of conversation...... No, twenty sentences! Besides, it's too late for Lu Zhaochuan to hate her, how can she be a couple! ”
I noticed a few words from Su Weining.
“…… It's not at all what I've heard. ”
Lin Xuanyan told me before that she had been with Lu Zhaochuan......
"It's true that she has always had a crush on our family, and she has also written love letters. In the past, she didn't even dare to speak, she was silent every day, and she was very afraid of people. After graduating, he disappeared for a while, and when he reappeared, he became what he is now—heavy makeup, scratching his head. It's like a snake shedding its skin, and even its style is different. Now she's gone again, maybe after a while, she'll appear with another face......"
"Hey, don't be so scary......"
I didn't pay attention to the chat with Su Weining.
I revert to my previous working state.
After Lu Zhaochuan was discovered by me, he and Zhang Jifan no longer sneaked around and met outside.
On this day, he went downstairs after talking with Zhang Jifan. As he passed by my desk, he asked, "You gave me the bouquet?" ”
I reacted, "Yes." ”
"Why?"
I held up the thermos pot on the table: "Thank you." ”
Lu Zhaochuan was puzzled: "What is this?" ”
Seeing his puzzled expression, I was confused: "Didn't you give it to me?" ”
"It's not about me." Lu Zhaochuan glanced at the thermos pot and said.
His expression was very serious, not like a fake.
So, who takes care of me?
"I thought you gave it to me......"
"What exactly are you expecting, and you want me to take care of you partially in your workplace?"
"You're misinterpreting me...... I'm sorry. "I apologize immediately.
Ritsu Zhaochuan snorted coldly.
I immediately felt like I was having a cramp in my head, how could I wishfully think that he was taking care of me......
At this time, Zhang Jifan came down from upstairs, he stood on the stairs, held on to the railing and asked: "Everyone, I need someone to pick up the goods in the cotton candy flower garden for me now, who is willing to run for me?" ”
He was met with silence.
In order to keep it fresh, part of the leaves are supplied by the city's "cotton candy flower garden", which is far away from the city and the transportation is not convenient. After getting out of the car, you still have to go a long way. No one wants to go.
I raised my hand in the air!
Zhang Jifan on the other end was happy: "Then it's troublesome for Xiaomu." ”
I smiled too brightly: "You're welcome. ”
Ritsu Zhaochuan glanced at me meaningfully.
Yes, that's right, I took the initiative to escape from this awkward atmosphere.
After getting off the bus and walking a long way, I finally arrived at my destination. As soon as I entered the door, I bumped into the owner.
When the owner of the garden saw me, he shouted: "Ah, why did you arrive at this time, I am in a hurry to go out now!" ”
I was stupid and asked, "What should I do then?" ”
"So—" said the gardener, "I have prepared the leaves, and put them in a big basket, and your boss shall count three boxes of silver kudzu leaves, two hundred in each box, and count them yourself, and take them away, and bring me the door." ”
"Oooh, thank you." I nodded repeatedly.
The owner of the garden said a few more words and left.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a pile of flowers in the corner of the room. The owner has cut the leaves, and I just have to count the number.
So, I crouched down and counted the leaves.
Suddenly, I don't know where a demonic wind blew. "Bang!" With a loud bang, the wind blew the door shut!
I had a vague sense that something was wrong.
Thinking about it, I jumped to my feet.
I rushed to the gate and grabbed the revolving door and pulled it out. The door does not move.
Yes, when the owner left, he confessed - "My door lock is broken, and it can only be opened with a key, you have to be careful not to close it before you leave." ”
I'm stuck.
Then, I found out that my phone was dead again. I don't usually use this thing, and I don't even pay attention to whether it runs out of power. My imagination was now richer than ever, and in just three minutes, I had already thought of the funeral from the discovery of the body, and I couldn't help but cry when I thought about it.
"Anyone? Anyone? Help me! ”
In the current crisis, I can't care about work, and I scream.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the shed connected to the house, and someone ran over and asked, "What happened?" ”
I was stunned, turned to look at the person, and then began to hiccup.
"Xu Chen? How did you end up here! "At this moment, I was more delighted than surprised. I'm not alone in being left behind – it's great!
"I'm here to choose flowers." Xu Chen answered my question first, "What's wrong?" ”
"Door! Hiccup, blown shut by the wind. Hiccup, I can't open it......"
Xu Chen stepped forward to check the door. He tried several things, but couldn't open the door.
The harder he tried, the frustrated I was.
I said sadly, "It's over, we're going to be stuck here." ”
