About three weeks after the letter was sent.

That night, after dinner, Secretary Gao motioned for me to go with her. I followed her through the corridor and finally arrived at Mr. Lil's study, where Secretary Gao handed me the microphone of the landline on Mr. Lil's desk.

Mr. Lil's voice rang on the phone: "Selangor, have you thought it through?" ”

"Yes. Uncle Lil, I've figured it out. I replied solemnly.

"Okay then."

I heard Uncle Ritsu's heavy sigh.

This time, I had a good call with Mr. Li, and during the call, Secretary Gao was waiting outside the door, and did not leave or make a sound. Out of Mr. Lil's study, I thanked Secretary Gao.

Secretary Gao looked at me, wanted to speak several times, and finally she asked, "Is the time set?" ”

"For the time being, it's on the day of the winter solstice."

"How to set it on that day." Secretary Gao said regretfully, "What about the work of the flower shop." ”

"It's all done. In a few days, you can go to the factory to print. After speaking, I bowed deeply to Secretary Gao, "Secretary Gao, thank you for taking care of you these days. ”

Secretary Gao didn't answer, just gently closed the door of the study, and continued to walk in front of me to lead me out.

I quietly watched her back.

Thin but not fragile.

I know that Secretary Gao has been working with Mr. Law for 15 years. Fifteen years ago, Secretary Gao, who was in his prime, became Mr. Lil's secretary and has been working there ever since. It wasn't until three years ago that she was no longer in charge of the company's affairs and turned to the lawyer's family affairs. On weekdays, even the imposing Lu Zhaochuan has to respect her for three points. Secretary Gao's status in the law family is naturally self-evident. But she did not act recklessly because of her high status, and her indifference now seemed to be extremely restrained, as if she strictly observed etiquette to avoid gossip.

Fifteen years is a long time, but at the same time it is an instantaneous thing. If you tell it carefully, Secretary Gao's story must be full of ups and downs. However, for fear of disrespect, I don't dare to speculate on her past.

After saying goodbye to Secretary Gao, I went back to my bedroom. As soon as I entered the house, I found that there was something unusual about the "professor" tonight. It spread its wings on the landing frame, patrolling back and forth with its paws in great stride. When he saw me enter the house, he shook his head and yelled at me, and the crown of feathers above his head was spread out into a white umbrella. It was pronounced quickly and slurred, and I tried to listen for a long time to know what it was saying, and it was trying to shout, "Angry, angry, angry".

I asked her, "What are you angry about?" ”

"I'm angry, I'm angry!"

I want to soothe it by stroking its head. It immediately tossed its face to the side, rejecting my flattery. And I don't understand at all what it's angry about.

The unfriendly interaction of one person and one bird alarmed the Ritsu Zhaochuan on the other side.

"What's wrong?" He inquired and walked briskly, stopping under my window, through which he happened to see the angry "professor".

"Did you withhold its rations?"

"Ah...... "That's what it was!"

I nodded a little embarrassed.

Ritsu Zhaochuan didn't say anything and turned away, and when he came back, he was holding a plate in his hand, and the melon on top had been cut into small pieces.

Ritsu Terukawa entered the room, walked straight to the landing frame, and brought the saucer to the professor's mouth.

He softly comforted the "professor": "Don't be angry. Fresh melons. Eat it. ”

The professor was reserved for a moment, and arrogantly took a small piece in his mouth. The black bean eyes were immediately eaten, obviously thinking that it tasted good. I ate several more in a row, and then I slowly gathered my anger.

This......

It is worthy of Ritsu Zhaochuan, and you can guess it.

"Am I really its owner?" I asked suspiciously, and before I knew it, I felt a little angry, and I said to the bird, "Stinky bird, I am your master, do any birds dare to speak to their master like this!" ”

I wanted to poke his finger in the head, but when it was too small, I was afraid of hurting it.

Lu Zhaochuan taught me: "You are hungry and people are still reasonable." ”

I complained a little: "It's all because you spoiled it, it always has to be changed little by little, otherwise what will you do if you leave the law family in the future." ”

Lu Zhaochuan frowned: "Leaving the law family? What the hell are you trying to throw it away? ”

"No......" I said as I ended my talk about bird rearing, and picked up something else, "by the way, I have a gift for you." ”

I took the wrapped gift box out of my bag and handed it to him.

Lu Zhaochuan hesitated, but still took it and opened it.

I gave him a cashmere scarf, and then it got colder and colder, and the cashmere scarf was just right.

Ritsu Zhaochuan glanced at the contents of the box and gently closed the cardboard box.

I was a little nervous: "Don't you like it?" The style and color can be changed......"

Lu Zhaochuan asked casually, "What did you buy for Su Weining?" ”

I covered my mouth and exclaimed, "Oops, how did I forget him!" ”

As I spoke, I hurriedly took out my mobile phone, "Won't it seem sincere ......enough to buy online?"

Ritsu Zhaochuan snatched my phone, pressed the screen out, and then threw the phone back to me, and he said endlessly: "It's good to forget." ”

"Huh?" I don't understand what he meant.

"Just buy it for me, that's good."

"Uh......"

Actually, I gave Qingqing a set of watercolors and Aunt Luo a cowhide handbag. Sending high secretary is custom-made glasses. What was given to Mr. Ritsu was a tea gift box. Actually, I bought it for everyone in my family. Do you want to tell him this?

Ritsu Zhaochuan lifted it again and looked carefully at the checkered pattern on the scarf. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and he seemed to be a little smug.

Forget it, don't spoil his interest.

"Since I received your gift, I also have good things to give you." He took out his phone and looked at it, then took my hand, "Come with me!" ”

Riding in the car of Ritsu Zhaochuan, our car passed through the bustling city and finally drove into the quiet village, where the lights were sparse and finally even these lights were extinct. Ritsu Zhaochuan stopped the car.

When I got out of the car, I saw a mountain road that rose diagonally, and there were big trees on both sides of the road, and street lamps between the big trees. I don't know where it is at the end of the road.

Ritsu Zhaochuan motioned for me to go up. We climbed up the mountain trail. Until you come to the gate of a temple.

It is an ancient temple.

Although it was night, there were few people coming and going. There are three tourists and several monks. The comings and goings are silent.

Ritsu Zhaochuan and I quietly entered the main hall. The main hall is entirely made of wood. In order to protect the thousand-year-old wooden building, incense burning has long been banned here. In the everlasting lamp that does not flicker, the Bodhisattva wearing the crown stands on the lotus platform, gently flicks the fingers, smiles slightly, and wears a silk belt like the wind.

She has been standing here quietly for a thousand years, and she must have seen countless joys and sorrows.

The two of us saluted the statue together.

After coming out of the main hall, Ritsu Zhaochuan was familiar with the road, first led me through the hall and alleys, and finally turned into a small courtyard, which was actually a guild hall, which was brightly lit and had many customers, and was a late-night canteen hidden in an ancient temple in the mountains.

The waiter came to take us to a seat, and then brought us a menu, and the main meal was served with hot tea.

After quickly ordering a few special dishes. He asked the waiter if there were any available rooms.

The other party replied: "Yes, there is, only the smallest one remains." May I? ”

Ritsu Zhaochuan nodded: "We are decided." ”

I was surprised: "Are we going to stay?" ”

"Hmm." Ritsu Zhaochuan nodded.

I didn't think much about it, I was hungry at the moment, and I just waited for the meal.

After a full meal, the waiter led us to the wing. The so-called wings are a row of low bungalows - they are too old.

The simple whitewashed walls give this old room a new twist. There is a clay kang in the house, I stretched out my hand to explore, and I immediately felt happy, this side is burning warm!

"Lu Zhaochuan, this is really an old house." I climbed onto the kang, touched the edge of the window, and was surprised: "The window is also like the previous one." Probably a real antique! ”

"A real century-old house."

"I don't know what the stories of the people who used to live in this room are." I sighed.

Lu Zhaochuan said casually: "The little monk of the Tang Dynasty who chanted the scriptures? The master gave a lecture, and he sat next to him. ”

"Huh?" I was amazed, "You really know!" ”

"I made it up." Ritsu Zhaochuan smiled and said, "Go to sleep quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”

"Oh." I promised to roll into the kang and lie down with my clothes closed.

I'm also a little weird. I didn't react much to the fact that I shared a room with Ritsu Zhaochuan, maybe it was because we used to spend one night together? The only thing I found strange was that he said he wanted to give me something in return, and I followed him all the way here, and he didn't come up with anything.

Close your eyes and listen to the mountain breeze passing through the forest sea, noisy and eager. Before I knew it, I was asleep.

Suddenly, the phone alarm passed through the eardrum and through the darkness.

Lu Zhaochuan shook me up suddenly: "Wake up!" ”

I rolled over and sat up. "What's wrong?"

"It's time!"

Ritsu pushed open the door and motioned for me to follow.

I quickly put on my shoes and ran out with him, and halfway through the run I turned back to my room and grabbed the blanket.

I followed him quietly through the large courtyard.

The sky was still grayish-white.

The soft yellow light in the main hall shines through the window edges, reflecting the warmth of the eyes.

The sound of sermon envelops the temple.

We went out the door, turning the corner and going up. Lu Zhaochuan led me to climb a short mountain road, and gradually, the sound of chanting faded away. Instead, there was a soft sound of the wind, a tone different from what was heard at night.

The mountain breeze in the early morning was clear, and the face was slightly painful.

It's cold!

I immediately shook off the blanket I had brought and divided it in half. After the two of them wrapped themselves in a blanket, their thin body temperature was also guaranteed, and I secretly sighed that I was witty enough.

Ritsu Terukawa motioned for me to look into the distance.

The eyes suddenly opened, and the layers of forest sea, the clouds and mist above the forest sea were like a fairyland. Farther away, the undulating shallow shadow of the mountain, there was a place, as if it was about to be ripe, the light white was gradually penetrated by the red light, suddenly, half a round of red sun jumped out from under the mountain, and in a moment, it jumped up the mountain line.

For a time, the golden light shone brightly, and everything in the field of vision was shrouded in soft veil.

I held my breath.

"It's beautiful!" I sighed.

Lu Zhaochuan said slowly: "When you went to Baiyun Mountain, you said that you wanted to see the sunrise. ”

I was stunned.

You came for me?

"Before I went abroad, I came here alone. Unexpectedly, you can see a beautiful sunrise here. At the time, I thought, it would be nice if we could watch it together. ”

For a while, my heart was surging, and I didn't know how to respond.

Ritsu Zhaochuan didn't know what I was thinking, he said proudly and proudly: "I gave you the sunrise of the mountain temple in return, what do you think?" ”

"Unbeatable! Thank you. ”

I don't know how to do it, but I've been very sad lately.

At this moment, my vision was blurred again.

"Thank you for the gift, I will cherish it in my heart."
