Lu Xiangyi played with the blue and white scarf and didn't notice that Zhou Sen's eyes darkened slightly.
She remembered that she hadn't replied to Xu Zheng's message yet...
"I'll go back to my room!"
As soon as the door closed, she edited the message:
"Thank you!"
"I already have other arrangements for tomorrow."
Add an emoticon that has no actual meaning.
send!
Xu Zheng replied almost instantly:
"What a shame! What are your plans for tomorrow?"
Lu Xiangyi looked at the news and bit his lip, feeling embarrassed.
She wanted to accompany Zhou Sen to the countryside to bury his grandmother.
This arrangement cannot be said!
Besides, Xu Zheng's question was a bit over the line - they weren't familiar enough to ask each other about personal matters!
Xu Zheng seemed to have discovered his own inadequacies and sent another message:
"It doesn't matter! If you have something to do, go and do your own thing first. We'll make an appointment next time!"
There is no way to refuse this kind of "blank check".
Lu Xiangyi had no choice but to reply with a "good" emoticon. Finally, looking at the scarf in his hand, he suddenly felt a little sorry for Zhou Sen.
Alas, no!
She has not yet agreed to Zhou Sen's pursuit. They are still just friends and both have the freedom to make friends.
Her feeling of guilt is completely inexplicable and completely unnecessary!
After doing this for a while to mentally build up, Lu Xiangyi walked out and found Zhou Sen asleep on her sofa.
She almost exploded.
Is Zhou Sen that sleepy?
What is going on!
She walked quietly to the sofa and called out carefully: "Zhou Sen?"
Zhou Sen didn't respond. She called several times, but he didn't even move his eyebrows.
He slept very soundly and peacefully, breathing evenly and long, and it was obvious that he was not woken up by a small shout.
For a person with such an elegant accent, he must be exhausted from his business trip if he can sleep so deeply in a strange environment.
Thinking like this, Lu Xiangyi was reluctant to call him loudly, so he simply brought a blanket to cover him, and finally went back to the room.
Looking at Zhou Sen in the living room is too ambiguous!
She planned to come out and check on Zhou Sen from time to time until he woke up.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhou Sen gently opened his eyes, his eyes filled with sleepiness and red bloodshot eyes.
He did fall asleep accidentally just now, but later Lu Xiangyi couldn't wake him up, so he was just pretending.
Lu Xiangyi called him like a kitten. The voice was very comfortable and hypnotic. He really didn't want to wake up.
Now that Lu Xiangyi has returned to the room, he will sleep a little longer!
Zhou Sen closed his eyes again and fell into a half-awake and half-asleep state with a smile.
He could feel that Lu Xiangyi would come out after a while, but she didn't dare to get too close to him. She called him "Zhou Sen" like a kitten. When he didn't respond, she ran back to the room.
After a while, she will repeat the process again.
This prevents him from entering deep sleep.
But this feeling didn't seem too bad, he thought it was pretty good.
It's just that everything has a degree.
Lu Xiangyi slipped out for the nth time. Zhou Sen heard her footsteps approaching and slowly opened his eyes.
Sure enough, Lu Xiangyi found nothing unusual and thought Zhou Sen woke up naturally. He was surprised and said: "Are you awake?"
It's really...simple to the extreme.
Zhou Sen wiped his face and sat up, "Am I asleep?"
"That's right!" Lu Xiangyi looked at the time, "You slept for almost an hour."
Zhou Sen frowned, looking embarrassed, "You can wake me up."
Lu Xiangyi was embarrassed to say why she didn't wake up Zhou Sen.
They were still just friends, but she said she felt sorry for Zhou Sen. What was going on?
She then shifted the responsibility to Zhou Sen, "I called, and I called many times, but you didn't wake up!"
Zhou Sen didn’t say: Your name makes people really don’t want to wake up!
He nodded, "My fault, I've been too tired these days!" He stood up naturally, "I'm going back, we'll see you tomorrow."
The tone in which he admitted his mistake was not to make people blame him at all, but to make people feel sad!
Lu Xiangyi warned: "Go back and have a good rest."
Zhou Sen smiled and said "hmm". He looked... very much like an obedient big dog.
Lu Xiangyi felt that her heart was being touched again, and she hurriedly pushed Zhou Sen out.
When he arrived outside the door, Zhou Sen turned around and stared deeply at Lu Xiangyi with his long, tired eyes, "Good night."
Compared with the "good night" sent through his mobile phone, this sound was more direct, more magnetic, and more intoxicating.
Lu Xiangyi's breathing stagnated slightly.
She looked at Zhou Sen, her cheeks flushed slightly, "Good night!" After saying that, she quickly closed the door.
Zhou Sen was in a great mood, not even sleepy anymore, and took the suitcase back to 2502.
The progress bar of pursuing Lu Xiangyi seemed to be pulled forward a little by him.
Lu Xiangyi woke up at around six o'clock the next day.
The second characteristic she inherited from her mother is that she likes to sleep.
If she has nothing to do on weekends, she can sleep until midnight.
When she woke up so early today, if she were at home, her father would definitely say: A miracle happened in our family today!
After living alone, she could only experience this sense of accomplishment silently.
That's right, she just didn't want to admit it: she woke up so early because she was thinking about Zhou Sen.
At eight o'clock, Zhou Sen came over and rang the doorbell.
Lu Xiangyi was already ready, opened the door and smiled brightly at Zhou Sen, "Good morning!"
Her eyes fell on Zhou Sen's arms.
Zhou Sen is holding an exquisite wooden box, which looks heavy and solemn.
Inside the box is his grandma.
The next second, Lu Xiangyi's expression also became serious.
They have to do a very serious thing, so they can't be playful!
"Good morning." Zhou Sen smiled, "You don't have to be like this. My grandma has always hoped... Anyway, you go with me. If she is alive in heaven, I don't know how happy she will be, so you don't need to be too serious."
"What did grandma always hope for you?" Zhou Sen stopped mid-sentence, making Lu Xiangyi very uncomfortable.
Zhou Sen raised his eyebrows, "It's just some old people's very traditional and simple wishes. Are you sure you want to listen?"
Lu Xiangyi also has a grandmother.
Her grandma just talked about it yesterday morning. Her little Xiangyi has grown up and is old enough to fall in love. She is very happy but reluctant to let go...
So what is the traditional and simple wish of the old man, you can think of it with your toes.
Lu Xiangyi was a little embarrassed and decided to end the topic, "Let's go!"
Zhou Sen covered the wooden box with a piece of black cloth, took Lu Xiangyi downstairs to get the car, and went straight to a cemetery in the suburbs.
Black e was speeding on the road, and Zhou Sen told Lu Xiangyi a story.
His grandmother's surname was Zhou, and she was from City G. She also lived in City A for a period of time, and finally went to Country M.
Grandma never married and had no family, but she had one person whom she loved deeply.
It's a pity that the two of them had a close relationship. The man she loved died of illness when he was very young and was buried in a remote cemetery on the outskirts of city A.
She has only one wish: to be buried with her loved ones after death.
Zhou Sen came to City A this time. In addition to working, he also wanted to fulfill his grandma's last wish.
He didn't expect that when he actually did this, he would have someone accompanying him.
Grandma has always wanted someone to accompany him, and she also likes beautiful little girls.
Seeing Lu Xiangyi, she will be happy.
"Zhou Sen, why did grandma never get married in her life?" Lu Xiangyi asked not out of curiosity, but out of respect, "Is it because she couldn't fall in love with anyone else later on?"
How amazing the person grandma loved when she was young must be!
She also wants to love someone like that!
"Maybe." Zhou Sen shook his head, "She didn't want to tell me in too much detail."
"This must be the biggest regret in her life. She may be... not willing to remember it!" Lu Xiangyi said.
Zhou Sen knew otherwise.
Grandma doesn't want him to know too much.
Grandma was afraid that a hundred years later, he would follow the clues she provided, find her past, and then... learn about his own past.
Before leaving, the old man told him over and over again not to try to remember things he no longer remembered. It would be good for him to live like this.
But grandma, what should I do?
Zhou Sen looked back at the wooden box covered with black cloth on the back seat——
I have already remembered a little girl. She had a pair of clear and beautiful peach blossom eyes. She called me Brother Mumu...
This is just the beginning.
Next, more past experiences and more people will flood into his mind through dreams.
Perhaps half of his incomplete life will be pieced together slowly.
But, is that really a good thing for him?
"Zhou Sen!" Lu Xiangyi discovered another interesting point, "You and grandma have the same surname! Is it because my grandparents have the same surname? Oh, no, grandma is not married..."
Then Zhou Sen doesn’t have a grandfather!
Without grandpa, where would Zhou Sen come from?
Lu Xiangyi was stunned and looked at Zhou Sen in disbelief, as if he had jumped out of a crack in the stone.
After a while, she felt a little annoyed again.
What if Zhou Sen’s life experience is rather special and is difficult to tell outsiders?
She asked so directly, it was so thoughtless!
"It's okay." Zhou Sen said slowly, "I was adopted from the orphanage by my grandma after she went to country M. My last name is hers."
…
Lu Xiangyi was speechless for a long time.
No wonder Zhou Sen said he has no family anymore. It turns out he was adopted.
Before being adopted, he lived in an orphanage.
The orphanage...she went there with her mother.
The children there have no parents and are very pitiful.
Her mother was so caring, but she could only help those children materially and say some caring and encouraging words to them.
No matter how hard the charity works, it cannot change the fact that they have no relatives.
How was Zhou Sen's life in the orphanage?
"I'm lucky." Zhou Sen is very optimistic. "I met my grandma when I was about nine or ten years old. She adopted me and gave me a home. After that, we lived together until she passed away."
In the meantime, something very bad happened, but he didn't know exactly what happened.
That incident left more than half of his life crippled.
Would Lu Xiangyi mind if she told her?
"Zhou Sen, grandma loves you very much, right?" Lu Xiangyi said, "I can see that you two have a good relationship!"
"We are like grandparents." Zhou Sen misses his grandma very much. "Actually, many people think that we are really related by blood. If I didn't say it, no one would guess that I was adopted by my grandma."
Because grandma loves him very much.
That kind of love is almost like God's mercy.
The old man cares about everything about him, has the great patience for him like a scientist doing experiments, and wants to give him the best in the world.
Lu Xiangyi could tell that Zhou Sen cherished his relationship with his grandma, so she smiled and said, "Well, you are really lucky!"
As for how grandma met Zhou Sen, and the days Zhou Sen spent in the orphanage before being adopted... Lu Xiangyi didn't ask.
This is Zhou Sen's privacy.
He may not want to recall those days.
In fact, if she asked, Zhou Sen would definitely be reluctant to lie to her, and then she would discover a big secret...
