Chapter 34 chapter 34

The distant sky revealed a white belly, Lu Xiumu's eyes were stung by the dawn light, he stretched out his arm to cover his forehead.

The gentle and pleasant sunlight shines into every dark corner of Rong City, and a new day is officially coming.

Only then did Lu Xiumu realize later that he had wandered around the streets and alleys all night.

His shirt was soaked with dew, which he only now noticed.

Tiredness gradually came up, and the eyes couldn't be opened as if they were glued together.The mobile phone in his pocket has been bombarded by countless missed calls and has lost the last trace of battery. Now he is completely unable to contact others.

Lu Xiumu calmly found a regular breakfast stand, but only ordered a cup of soy milk without sugar, and drank it while walking.

Maybe it's time for this to end, he thought.

He spent so much time on his plan that it wasn't worth it.

Moreover, it has had little effect.

He had to concentrate on thinking in order to keep his head clear and not let himself fall asleep unconsciously on the side of the street.

However, he was so absorbed that he bumped into a passerby head-on.

Lu Xiumu staggered back a few steps and rubbed his sore forehead.Before he had time to drink a few sips of soy milk, he spilled all over him in an instant.

Instead, the amiable passer-by quickly took out a tissue and handed it to him, apologizing in a panic: "I'm sorry... I saw you bumped into me and couldn't avoid it..."

Lu Xiumu: "..."

He deeply felt that this person was either too honest and kind or lacking in heart.

He took the neatly folded tissue and thanked him in a low voice, embarrassed.

He raised his head, and saw that this honest passer-by was a middle-aged man, showing a row of white teeth when he smiled.He wears well-made famous brands and knows how to dress up very well, which adds a bit of charm to him at this age.Many little girls like this now.

But Lu Xiumu didn't like this, he was upset right now, and was about to leave when he was suddenly pulled back by the middle-aged passerby.

Lu Xiumu frowned in pain, thinking he was going to settle accounts with him again, right?He is really penniless now.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man looked at him several times with ulterior motives, wriggled his lips, and said with unbelievable joy: "You...are you Xiao Mu!?"

Suddenly hearing his name from a stranger, Lu Xiumu, who was still thinking hard about how to deal with the person in front of him, raised his head in astonishment.

The middle-aged man smiled, but there were tears in his eyes: "I finally found you."

Lu Xiumu was even more confused by his nonsensical sentence: "Who are you?"

Only then did the middle-aged man realize that he hadn't had time to introduce himself: "My surname is Meng, and my name is Meng Si. Xiao Mu, I'm Uncle Meng. I even taught you how to study at that time."

After he mentioned it, Lu Xiumu recalled it.

The name was deeply engraved in his mind, but the face was really unclear.

He was the college classmate of the mother who was staying at their house back then.That is, what the father said, the mother's cheating lover.Since his mother's accident, this person has disappeared without a trace, and no one can prove his mother's innocence.

The corner of Lu Xiumu's mouth twitched, he didn't know how to face the person in front of him.

Meng Si looked at the half-sprinkled soy milk in Lu Xiumu's hand, and said empathetically, "It's really not suitable for reminiscing about old times on the street. I don't think you had breakfast. Let's find a place to sit."

Lu Xiumu nodded hesitantly.

Meng Si didn't know much about the tastes of these young people, so he immediately and decisively led Lu Xiumu into a nearby McDonald's.

"What do you want to eat?" Meng Si asked, turning his head.

Lu Xiumu lazily raised his eyes to look at the menu, his brain didn't seem to be working, and asked, "Is there any ice cream?"

The female clerk who was ordering for them twitched her eyebrows and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, it's so early, and the ice cream hasn't started yet."

Lu Xiumu felt rather regretful: "Is there any porridge?"

The saleswoman nodded.

"Then let's have a bowl of vegetable porridge."

At the end, Lu Xiumu added another sentence: "Can I have a bowl of iced porridge?"

Meng Si: "..."

He looked at the female shop assistant's embarrassed expression, and quickly smoothed things over: "It's okay, it's okay if it's hot."

Meng Si looked at the menu, ordered something else casually, and led Lu Xiumu to find a seat to sit down.

"You like to eat cold?" Meng Si asked with a smile.

"Normally not, now is a special situation." Lu Xiumu replied without changing his face, resting his head on his hands.

"What special circumstances?" Meng Si couldn't help being curious.

"I have a stomachache." Lu Xiumu replied lightly.

Meng Si: "...wouldn't this make my stomach hurt more?"

"It's only good if it hurts." Lu Xiumu said casually.

Meng Si remained silent and did not answer.

Lu Xiumu smiled: "Actually, I don't usually do this... I always forcefully smile in front of people I care about, in order not to make them worry. As time goes by, I don't know what kind of person I am anymore."

While talking, the things they ordered just now were brought up.

Lu Xiumu glanced at the steaming porridge with disgust, obviously the female shop assistant didn't listen to what he just said.

He pushed the bowl of porridge aside and waited patiently for it to cool.

Meng Si folded his hands and said carefully: "Actually, I have been looking for you for the past few years. I am also responsible for the tragedy that year. My senior sister and I are absolutely innocent, and I guarantee it with my life .Although I have admired my senior sister, but I don't have the guts. Sometimes, as long as some people exist in this world and live happily, they are already very satisfied. Senior sister, can you discuss me with me? I can laugh out loud even in my dreams.”

Lu Xiumu listened attentively, and he had a deep understanding of this kind of mood.

Reminiscing about the past, Meng Si laughed at himself: "Oh, but it seems useless to say these things now. I should have stood up in time, testified for the senior sister, cleared the stigma of the senior sister, and returned her innocence. But then I was too timid at the time, I was just a half-red painter, I didn't dare to joke about my future, and I couldn't bear the public opinion. So, after the incident happened, I ran away with my tail between my legs as soon as I heard the news ...very spineless, isn't it? That's not how a man should behave at all."

Lu Xiumu thought for a while, and said: "Perhaps what you did was right, even if you testified, under the circumstances at that time, no one would believe your one-sided words, and it will only become more and more black. "

He remembered what Meng Si said just now, and asked curiously, "You said you've been looking for me? Why are you looking for me? Just to give me an explanation?"

Meng Si continued to narrate: "After leaving there, I went abroad, and I was fortunate enough to meet an old painter for guidance. I held art exhibitions and met more and more famous people. Only then did I become more and more famous. Fame. So now, it's not bad."

Lu Xiumu raised his eyes and listened carefully to his lengthy foreshadowing.

"Later, when I became self-reliant, I tried to find you, because I was afraid that you would have a bad life without parents. Afterwards, I heard some things about you... Knowing that you are mentally, After that, there was no news from you. I don’t know where you went after that, or who you were adopted by. The party who adopted you blocked the news very tightly, as if they didn’t want you to be hurt again. Second injury. Knowing that they value you very much, I am a little relieved, but I have never given up searching." Meng Si said.

Meng Si looked at Lu Xiumu with a solemn expression, which made Lu Xiumu also inexplicably nervous.

Meng Si said sincerely: "Xiao Mu, I have a request... After knowing about you, I will look around for the best psychiatrist for you. Fortunately, my reputation is very high now, and my network is getting wider and wider. I found a professional consultant to treat your mental illness in France, and you will be fully recovered in a few years!"

Meng Si looked serious, but Lu Xiumu laughed unceremoniously: "What is this? The Qiao family has also replaced many psychological counselors for me in the past few years. My psychological trauma is almost healed now, and the results are good. , there is no need to mobilize so many teachers and go to such a distant country on purpose..."

In order to hide the unnatural look on his face, Lu Xiumu took the bowl of porridge that was extremely disgusted, and kept stirring it with a spoon while bowing his head.

Meng Si, a person with a gentle temperament by nature, became agitated: "Xiao Mu, ask yourself, have you really recovered? You know your own situation best in your heart. You are just pretending, you are just catering to them You pretend that nothing is wrong, and chat with your counselors calmly, in order not to let those you care about worry about you. But, Xiao Mu, you have to think clearly, mental illness is not a joke, When the time comes, it will be you who will suffer.”

Lu Xiumu's hands that scooped up the porridge paused for a moment, and his expression was not very good-looking.The thought that had been hidden for so many years was punctured so easily, he really couldn't laugh.

"Only you know and understand the real you." Meng Si said softly.

Lu Xiumu shifted his gaze to the side, and after a long time, he uttered a voice, slightly choked up: "You mean, you want to take me to France for treatment?"

"Yes, you will recover in a few years. I have confirmed this repeatedly."

Meng Si has been observing Lu Xiumu's subtle expressions, expecting him to give an affirmative answer.However, Lu Xiumu's face was calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Meng Si almost pleaded: "Please, Xiao Mu, I finally found you in Rongcheng, so come with me. Just make up for my debt to your family."

Lu Xiumu was slightly moved: "Can I... think about it again? I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

Meng Si was overjoyed if he was granted an amnesty: "Of course!"

He took out a business card from the leather business card holder and put it in Lu Xiumu's hand: "This is my contact information, if you figure it out, contact me anytime."

"Okay." Lu Xiumu replied, carefully putting away the business card.He took a spoonful of porridge that had been neglected for a long time, and put it in his mouth.

"Thank you, and, in fact, you never owe our family anything." Lu Xiumu said awkwardly.

Meng Si didn't answer, he grabbed the hamburger on the side, took a few bites indiscriminately, and smiled foolishly.

The author has something to say:

Will Xiao Mu go with him?
