"You should have been strong and unyielding in the first place. How could you run away just because Xu Weimeng beat you up?" Because Xu Weimeng chose violence to solve the Su Ruining incident, so in her heart, she thought that Xu Weimeng let Luo Zheng
Giving up must have involved fists.
Luo Zheng silently shed three drops of sweat in his heart, thinking that he didn't beat me, he just used sugar-coated bullets to coax me. But at present, his main task is to destroy Xu Weimeng's image and make Zhu Xiyou think that he and Xu Weimeng
The situation was irreconcilable, so Luo Zheng made up a fiction, "You don't know how painful it is for him to hit someone, so why don't I just want to save my life? Is it easy for me?"
"Luo Zheng, is it true that forensic doctors use their brains and prosecutors use their hands? That's why you are so polite and courteous, but Xu Weimeng beats anyone he sees?"
"This guess of yours... is really a stream of consciousness..." Luo Zheng shed another three drops of sweat and finally remembered his mission, "Ah, by the way, you want to rent a house, right? There is still an empty room in my house.
, let’s rent it to you.”
Luo Zheng's transformation was too abrupt, and Zhu Xiyou couldn't help but wonder: "Your house? Isn't your house just one bedroom? I've been there."
"I have moved. Now my house is more spacious. I am just about to post online to find tenants."
"Well, I'll go to your house to check out the room after dinner later."
Zhu Xiyou went to Luo Zheng's house to look at the house, and was very satisfied with the result - this house faces south, has good sunlight, and is very clean. Plus, it has a large bay window. It will be beautiful to lie on it and read a book and bask in the sun in winter.
.
So Zhu Xiyou made the decision on the spot, paid the deposit to the second landlord, and started a new life of living and working in S city.
After she settled in, she called Su Ruining, but his phone was always turned off, which made her feel puzzled.
Two hours later, Zhu Xiyou finally understood why Su Ruining's phone was out of service, because she received a call from Su Ruining. He couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Youzi, I came to Beijing to see you, are you still living in the same place as before?
?”
Zhu Xiyou was shocked, "I don't live there anymore, I'm in City S."
"Why did you run to City S?"
"I'm here to find you. Come back quickly."
Although Su Ruining was very depressed, she had no choice but to buy a ticket back to city S on the same day.
While waiting to board the plane at the airport, he couldn't help but smile. When Zhu Xiyou confessed her love to him for the fourth time, she was also at the airport.
At that time, he was on a business trip to City Y. Zhu Xiyou's home happened to be in City Y, so she took her annual leave, returned to City Y one day early, and picked him up at the airport.
He didn't know that Zhu Xiyou would pick him up, so he was very surprised when he saw her. He could also see that she was very nervous, as if she was afraid of being scolded by him, so she said cautiously: "Susan knows that my home is in Y City, so please
I'll take care of you and book a hotel for you."
Susan was his secretary at the time. Although this excuse was far-fetched, it was also reasonable.
Su Ruining said nothing at that time and followed Zhu Xiyou to the parking lot. It was also the first time that she knew that Zhu Xiyou could drive.
"I'll take you to the hotel first." Zhu Xiyou started the car, but couldn't get out of the parking space for a long time.
Su Ruining had no choice but to say: "I'll drive it."
Zhu Xiyou sat in the passenger seat, her face flushed with embarrassment, "I'm sorry, this is my first time to drive on the road after getting my license."
"It's okay, thank you for coming to pick me up."
Su Ruining didn't know the road, so Zhu Xiyou was always directing beside him.
It was a very tacit journey. Although there was no unnecessary conversation, Zhu Xiyou's chirping voice made Su Ruining feel in a good mood. He was under great pressure at that time, so he enjoyed this relaxing feeling.
So he relaxed his guard, and after arriving at the hotel, he said to Zhu Xiyou: "My meeting is tomorrow morning. Do you want to take me for a walk?"
"Okay." Zhu Xiyou couldn't help but raised his hands in approval.
The most famous thing about this city is a river that stretches for hundreds of kilometers. It runs along the river bank from the city center to the suburbs, and then to a place called Qingquanzhuang.
Zhu Xiyou said that the place called Qingquanzhuang is full of flowers and plants, especially in this season, when peach blossoms, pear blossoms, apricot blossoms are in bloom, it is simply beautiful.
"Then let's go there."
Zhu Xiyou's conditioned reflex was, "You can't go there!"
"Why?"
She scratched her head and said awkwardly: "Because my family lives there."
Su Ruining pretended to be confused and asked: "Is your family the local bully there? You have a grudge against the person named Su, so you are not allowed to go?"
Zhu Xiyou wiped his sweat and said, "No."
"Then let's go."
Su Ruining turned around and walked towards the car, and Zhu Xiyou had no choice but to follow.
After arriving at that place, Su Ruining found that it was as beautiful as Zhu Xiyou said.
The river passes through the middle of the village. There are vast lawns on both sides. On the lawn are patches of unknown small wild flowers. A little further away is a mountain. At the foot of the mountain is an orchard, with flowers of various colors blooming.
Zhu Xiyou led Su Ruining towards the orchard and said as they walked: "I have a very big dog at home, which is very hostile to strangers. Don't be afraid, just follow me."
"Okay." Su Ruining asked curiously, "Does your family only live in this place?"
"No, there are several. It used to be a very big village. Later, everyone disliked the deserted place and moved to the city. Only a few families were reluctant to move, so they stayed."
"Those who move will definitely regret it."
Zhu Xiyou smiled and said, "When I was a child, I didn't understand why my parents didn't want to move. It made me have to walk for half an hour to go to school. Later, when I went to university in Beijing, I understood the reason why my parents didn't move because there was a place here.
It has a peaceful and peaceful temperament that makes people feel very happy when living here. People outside have too many desires and are too impetuous."
"Your parents are more sensible."
As we walked, we arrived in a while.
Zhu Xiyou's house is a large compound with about a dozen houses. They are all bungalows with white walls and gray tiles, which are very simple.
Sure enough, there was a big dog, staring at Su Ruining and roaring, but Zhu Xiyou scolded it gently, and it became quiet.
After Su Ruining saw Zhu Xiyou's home, she understood why she was simple and kind-hearted, like a child who didn't understand the world, because this paradise environment shaped her character.
Hearing the dog barking, Zhu Xiyou's mother came out before anyone else arrived, "Yuzi, didn't you go to pick up your friend? Why are you back so soon?" Seeing Su Ruining, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "
This is your friend, please come in and sit down."
Zhu Xiyou then introduced: "This is my mother, and this is my colleague, Su Ruining."
Su Ruining greeted politely, "Hello, aunt."
"You sit down first and I'll make tea."
There was a large small table made of tree roots and several small bamboo chairs in the patio. Zhu Xiyou asked Su Ruining to sit down, and then went in to help her mother make tea.
"This tea is this year's new tea. I picked it from my own tea garden. Please try it, Mr. Su."
Su Ruining picked up the tea cup and smelled the refreshing fragrance. He couldn't help but sigh. Nowadays, all kinds of food are advertised as organic to increase their value, but truly organic food can only be found in places like Zhu Xiyou's home.
He praised her greatly, and Zhu Xiyou's mother smiled happily, "Youzi, please stay with Mr. Su while mom goes to cook."
"Mom, it's only two o'clock. Isn't it too early to make dinner?"
Zhu's mother winked at Zhu Xiyou and said, "You idiot, you don't care when I cook. You go out with Mr. Su for a walk."
Her mother's intention was obvious. Zhu Xiyou glanced at her mother with disdain and said to Su Ruining: "Don't mind, our family rarely has guests, so every time there are guests, my mother goes crazy."
Su Ruining smiled and said, "Let's go out for a walk." In fact, he also found it strange why he insisted on coming to Zhu Xiyou's home. He should obviously keep a distance from her, and he should continue to pretend to be cold.
Maybe he is too greedy for this feeling of relaxation. Zhu Xiyou always has that ability to make people laugh and forget their worries.
He told himself, just indulge for one day, just this one day.
Zhu Xiyou and Su Ruining walked into the orchard together. She pointed to a tree with many branches and leaves that was as tall as a person and asked: "Guess what tree this is?"
Seeing the pride on her face, Su Ruining guessed that the tree must be related to her name, so she said decisively: "Grapefruit tree."
Zhu Xiyou rolled her eyes at him in disappointment, "You are so boring. Even if you are smart, you can pretend to be ignorant from time to time. It is very immoral for you not to leave a way for others to survive."
Su Ruining smiled. He wanted to help Zhu Xiyou, so he pointed to a very similar but short tree next to the grapefruit tree and asked: "Is this also a grapefruit tree?"
Zhu Xiyou immediately denied: "No."
"Then what kind of tree is this?"
Zhu Xiyou looked a little unnatural and abruptly changed the subject: "That grapefruit tree was planted by my father the year I was born. It is 24 years old. Isn't it amazing?"
"Your father loves you very much." Su Ruining roughly guessed what kind of tree it was from Zhu Xiyou's reaction, but she didn't say anything.
They continued shopping, and Zhu Xiyou introduced various fruit trees to Su Ruining, and then took him to the tea garden to pick tea. Finally, after five o'clock, Zhu's mother called and asked them to go back for dinner.
We had a very relaxing time at Qingquanzhuang that day. The dishes cooked by Zhu’s mother tasted like her mother’s which Su Ruining had not tasted for a long time. Zhu Xiyou’s father took Su Ruining to drink some wine, so on the way back to the city, Zhu Xiyou drove.
It was already past ten o'clock when Zhu Xiyou sent Su Ruining to the hotel. Su Ruining looked at the time and was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to drive back as a girl, so she suddenly said: "It's so late, don't go back."
Zhu Xiyou was instantly petrified and looked at Su Ruining in disbelief.
Su Ruining saw that Zhu Xiyou had misunderstood, and immediately explained: "I mean, I will help you get another room, and you can go back tomorrow."
"Oh." Su Ruining took the initiative to keep her, and of course Zhu Xiyou would not refuse. Staying with Su Ruining for a minute and a second would be a great gift to her.
Zhu Xiyou, a fool, tossed and turned in the hotel room that night. Perhaps Su Ruining's behavior was too abnormal, which gave her many misunderstandings, and she was deceived again.
So the next day, she insisted on continuing to be Su Ruining's driver, taking him to the conference center and then to the airport.
At the airport, she helped Su Ruining look at her luggage. Su Ruining had completed the check-in formalities and came to say goodbye to her and pick up her luggage. However, Zhu Xiyou quickly dragged the suitcase behind her, and then mustered up the courage to say to Su Ruining: "Actually,
,The tree you saw yesterday was a lemon tree, which I planted two years ago."
Su Ruining was a little disappointed, "Zhu Xiyou, you are such an idiot." Why did you say it? If you didn't say it, we might be as close as we were yesterday.
"I'm just stupid. I know that even if the current lemon tree is about the same height as the grapefruit tree, sooner or later the lemon tree will grow very tall, and the grapefruit tree will always look up to the lemon tree, but I'm still here
There is a little hope in my heart that after the lemon tree grows very tall, it will be willing to let out a little sunshine from the branches and leaves to the grapefruit tree living in its shadow."
"Zhu Xiyou, you already have the answer yourself, don't you? Lemon trees and grapefruit trees are not trees of the same height. If you want these two trees to be together, either you curb the growth of the lemon tree, or you let the grapefruit tree grow
Break through the biological impossibility, otherwise, they will only get further and further away." Su Ruining finished speaking coldly and stretched out her hand.
This was just another slap in the face for Tian Zao. Zhu Xiyou was almost crying. She didn't understand at all. The first day he was still smiling gently to her, but in the blink of an eye, he turned into the cold and distant Su Ruining again.
Didn't she try hard enough?
She handed the luggage to Su Ruining's hand, then watched him walking further and further away, and finally couldn't help but squat down, hugged herself and cried loudly.
Zhu Xiyou's cries reached Su Ruining's ears, making his heart aching. Finally, he made a decision. From now on, he would never do anything to make Zhu Xiyou feel wrong again. If he wanted to alienate her, he would have to completely
One point made her completely despair of him and give up on him.
But I didn't expect that after going around in circles for so long, they would actually come together.
Su Ruining wanted to know, more than a year later, has the lemon tree grown taller?
Su Ruining decided to propose to Zhu Xiyou as soon as possible. After the proposal, he could legitimately go to Qingquanzhuang again, and he could legitimately go to see the lemon tree that was exclusive to him.
Zhu Xiyou was bored watching TV in S City. When Su Ruining came back, Luo Zheng had gone out early, so she was the only one in the empty house.
She didn't know that Luo Zheng was looking for Xu Weimeng. In fact, Luo Zheng was Xu Weimeng's spy.
At this moment, Luo Zheng was reporting her situation to Xu Weimeng: "Boss, I have rented the room to her according to your instructions. She expressed her great trust in me and did not doubt the relationship between you and me at all.
relationship." Ever since Luo Zheng was "hired" by Xu Weimeng with a high salary, he began to call him "big boss". He felt that this kind of title could relieve a lot of the tension of being an undercover agent.
