Chapter 3 The Sea, the Old Man and the Painting

The holiday home is run by a couple with a daughter. The male owner's name is Lu Hai, and the female owner's name is Luo Aiyu.

As for her daughter’s name, she is Lu Yiyun. She has just completed the college entrance examination and is now taking advantage of the summer vacation to help in the vacation home run by her family.

The male host is responsible for catering and is actually the chef. As for the hostess and daughter, they are responsible for entertaining the guests.

There is also another employee, an aunt in her forties who is in charge of doing odd jobs.

This is not a large-scale holiday home. Although there are large resorts nearby, the location of this holiday home seems to be a bit remote, with only the sea and cliffs all around.

It can be regarded as a small family workshop-style holiday house. The house used as a store should be converted from a former residence, and then three three-story houses were sparsely built in the back to serve as guest rooms. There is a small yard in between.

It's pretty clean.

The sea breeze with a touch of salty flavor blows in the yard, bringing the smell of the blue star flowers planted in the small yard.

The courtyard is covered little by little with blue star flowers, green and blue folded alternately, like the sea.

"The rooms here can directly see the sea. Are you satisfied?" Luo Aiyu, the proprietress, led Luo Qiu and his party to the place where they were staying.

Quite enthusiastic.

As for the boss, Lu Hai, he is a little colder, but he still maintains the most basic courtesy. I heard from Lizi that this time, from inviting people to negotiating, the boss's wife did it all.

"I'll prepare the food, and you guys can chat." Lu Hai seemed unwilling to stay any longer, so he left the room.

When Luo Aiyu saw this, she squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't mind me, this guy has such a personality. But the food he cooks is very delicious, and he is the best in this area."

When passing through a nearby village, Luo Qiu saw an archway with the words "Lüjia Village" written on it. The proprietress's surname was Luo, and she probably married here.

This holiday home is located far away from the resort. In fact, the environment is not particularly good. As for the so-called view of the sea, in fact, part of the view is blocked by the cliff in front.

If there is any advantage, it is probably that it is quite quiet.

"Evian, you greet a few guests here, I'll make some tea."

The little girl nodded obediently. She has lived here since she was a child, and went to school in a nearby town. She usually comes home to help when she has a room, and has little contact with big cities, and even less contact with people in big cities.

The guests she has come into contact with are all from several nearby towns, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people. Young people generally do not choose this place...because there are no entertainment facilities.

But this time there are so many beautiful people.

The little girl couldn't help but feel a little cautious.

Ren Ziling's intention was not really to write for this place, but as a professional, she would never be vague in this regard. Ren Ziling wanted to complete the work as soon as possible, and then continued to make plans in her mind.

The deputy editor simply grabbed the little girl and started asking questions.

"Are there usually many customers here?"

Lu Yiyun shook her head. Without much thought, she sighed and said: "Not many. Even during the peak season, we can only receive at most a dozen customers a month. During the slow season, we can only have two customers a month."

As for the guests, it’s already been settled.”

Ren Ziling lowered her head and wrote something in a small notebook, then raised her head and said, "Why not open a resort in that resort instead? Choose this place instead?"

Lu Yiyun seemed to hesitate for a moment. The little girl was probably not a good talker, and her face was too easy for others to see through. She suddenly glanced at the door, as if she was worried about something.

Ren Ziling turned her eyes and said, "If it's inconvenient, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me."

Lu Yiyun nodded, and then said: "Mom said you want two rooms. But they are all double rooms. I will go and make an extra bed for this room later? If they are put together, it will definitely be possible for three people to sleep.

No problem."

"Sharing beds?" Ren Ziling suddenly said with a smile: "No!"

The smiling deputy editor-in-chief Ren pointed at Luo Qiu, then nodded at You Ye, and said in a madam-like voice, "These two, share a room."

"Well, we have a room together."

Unexpectedly, Luo Qiu nodded very directly.

Ren Ziling was stunned and opened her mouth... Damn it! She thought Luo Qiu must have refused at this time.

Didn't expect to agree so directly? Could it be that it has been a long time ago... Sure enough, today's children are all so precocious?

The little plot in Deputy Editor Ren's head began to deduce a very rich and exciting content after midnight.

She looked at You Ye... She really couldn't fault this girl at all. Although she hadn't said a few words since recently, in Ren Ziling's opinion, such a quiet girl was simply a natural fit for Luo Qiu.

A similar pair.

Even under Luo Qiu's affirmative answer, there was no shyness at all. He was very generous and looked like an old married couple.

"Then, come with me."

But the little girl didn't seem to be able to completely let go of this matter, so she had to lower her head and hurriedly walked out of the room.

Seeing You Ye smiling and following Luo Qiu away in an obedient manner, Ren Ziling touched her chin and murmured to herself: "Miscalculated, miscalculated!"

"Sister Ren, what miscalculation did you make?"

Ren Ziling said with a straight face: "I thought I understood this son completely! This is a piece of wood, but I didn't expect... it turns out to be boring/sexy. These two people must have done it many times, right?"

"...Sister Ren, don't be like this, I'm still just a child."

"Go, go, go." Ren Ziling rolled her eyes at Lizi and suddenly said: "By the way, you can lean against the wall and listen to see if the soundproofing of this room is good."

"What's the matter?"

"You're stupid! If it gets too intense at night, can you handle it?" Ren Ziling snorted, "Or are you planning to do something embarrassing with me?"

Seeing Ren Ziling opening her claws and scratching with her fingers, Li Zi immediately leaned against the wall and said in horror: "Sister Ren...I, I'm really just a child, you...don't mess around.

"

"hey-hey."

Grasp!





"Two guests, are you satisfied with this room?" Lu Yiyun took a deep breath.

I don't know if it was because of the misunderstanding, but she felt that receiving these two people alone was more stressful than when she had just received four people.

"If you're not satisfied, there's more upstairs."

Luo Qiu shook his head.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, opened the window door, walked to the terrace outside the room, and looked at the cliff and the sea.

In fact, there is a lawn outside, with a simple stone wall built with stones and cement on the edge. This holiday home is actually in the middle of the mountainside.

"Who is that?"

Luo Qiu suddenly pointed to an old man sitting on a bench on the lawn outside.

The elderly man was just holding a drawing board and looking into the distance.

"Oh, that's my grandpa." Lu Yiyun smiled and said, "They're not strangers, don't worry, you two."

Luo Qiu nodded and walked down the small wooden ladder next to the terrace outside the window, seemingly heading towards the old man.

"This guest..." Lu Yiyun was stunned.

The maid smiled at this time and said: "It's okay, he was just walking around. By the way, little sister, can you do me a favor?"

"Oh, please say it!"

"Can you take me to the kitchen? I want to prepare the food myself."

The little girl was stunned... She had never encountered such a request before?



Luo Qiu looked at the old man, who seemed to be in his sixties or seventies. He was sitting on the bench near the cliff with a hat on, and it seemed that he had been there for some time.

The pencil used for scanning has always been resting on the drawing paper, and it seems that it has not been moved.

With just a few simple strokes, an outline was drawn, which was vaguely a sketch of a human body.

The old man didn't seem to notice anyone coming, or maybe he noticed someone coming and didn't care. He just looked at the sea in front of him quietly.

When the sea breeze blew, the blue star flowers planted under the small stone wall swayed. Luo Qiu sat on the other end of the bench, took out his mobile phone and captured the scenery at this moment.

He lowered his head, playing with the photos on his phone, and suddenly whispered: "Why don't you complete the painting?"

The old man seemed not to hear.

Until the second wave of sea breeze blows.

He then said slowly: "I...can't remember. Can't remember...can't remember."

He suddenly grasped the pencil in his hand and began to draw rapidly on the drawing paper, but the crisscrossed lines were just meaningless random strokes.

The vague outline was soon covered by these random brushes, and the original appearance could no longer be seen.

"I can't remember!"

At this time, the sea and sky are the same color, and there are dark clouds spreading in the distance. It is going to rain, and it will be a heavy rain. (To be continued.)
