Chapter 16 chapter 16

After seeing off the last guest, Lu Xiumu packed up their used dishes, washed them, dried them, and put them in the disinfection cabinet.

Then I counted today's income, cleaned the store briefly, changed the work clothes, and put them aside.

Immediately afterwards, he turned off all the lights in the shop.

The darkness he fell into for a moment made him "thump" in his heart.

It's like a grotesque world suddenly disillusioned.

Lu Xiumu pushed open the heavy glass door, and buried half of his face deeply in the woolen scarf.

The fine down on the scarf tickled his nose a little.

Lu Xiumu raised his head and tried to identify it, only to realize that it was snow.

The fine snow falling from the sky illuminated the dark areas that the street lamps could not reach brilliantly.

Stepping on the newly fallen snow, the rustling sound made Lu Xiumu feel good.

A Bentley stopped silently at the door and waited silently.

There was a layer of white snow on the roof.

Qiao Lian, who was sitting in the driver's seat, smiled and waved to him.

The corner of Lu Xiumu's mouth raised an arc. He trotted over, opened the car door, sat in it with ease, and fastened his seat belt with a "click".

The lights in the car were not turned on, and it was very dark, so dark that Qiao Lianjian's expression could not be seen clearly.

"Why did you come to pick me up?" Lu Xiumu turned his head and secretly observed Qiao Lianjian's expression.

"I haven't picked you up for a long time, so I'll stop by today to have a look." Qiao Lianjian replied calmly, "Besides, I'm also one of the bosses of Wonderland, right? Come and see my store Is it not an exaggeration?"

Although Qiao Lianjian tried his best to pretend to be playful, Lu Xiumu could easily see through him.

"You have something on your mind." Lu Xiumu said firmly, "Please tell me if you have anything, because we are family."

Qiao Lianjian's expression dimmed, and the hand that was holding the steering wheel before also slipped weakly.

Lu Xiumu said cautiously, "Is...is it about him?"

There are not many people who can make Qiao Lianjian so sad, so Lu Xiumu made a bold guess.

"Yeah." Qiao Lian nodded slightly imperceptibly.

He laid his whole body down on the soft backrest, resting his hands behind his head.The eyeballs moved aimlessly, and finally fixed on a piece of neon not far away.

"I have completely lost all the news about him. No matter how hard I try, I can't find him. Obviously I told myself that as long as he lives well in a corner of this world, for me It's enough, but...But I still want...I want to see him. I poured out my feelings that I didn't realize before, and poured them into him seriously. "

Seeing that all the strength in his body disappeared, Joe closed his eyes weakly.

"You must, there will be a day when we meet again."

Although nothing was certain yet, Lu Xiumu's tone was exceptionally firm.

Like what Qiao Lianjian had done to him countless times before, he leaned over and held Qiao Lianjian's hand tightly.

With such force, his palms turned slightly white.

What energy did Lu Xiumu want to convey to Qiao Lianjian in this way.

Qiao Lianjian was greatly touched when he saw Lu Xiumu's furrowed brows and wet eyes.

A car drove past them.The yellow light from the flashing headlights clearly illuminated Qiao Lianjian's face at that moment.

Even the flickering of the eyelashes is clearly visible.

Qiao Lianjian let out a breath slowly.

Lu Xiumu withdrew his hand.

Qiao Lianjian smiled and put his hands on the steering wheel again.

He returned to his previous appearance, the appearance Lu Xiumu was most familiar with.

"Let's go, I'll take you back." Qiao Lianjian said softly.

"En." Lu Xiumu nodded very vigorously.

The car seems to be nostalgic for the surrounding scenery, driving slowly.

Qiao Lianjian's face seemed to flicker under the light of the street lamp.

He directly sent Lu Xiumu to the downstairs of the apartment building.

Lu Xiumu unbuckled his seat belt and opened the car door.

Qiao Lianjian showed a strong smile to him: "Take a good rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow. You promised to play golf with me, don't forget."

"Of course not." Lu Xiumu got out of the car, took another deep look at Qiao Lian, and closed the door.

At that moment, he and Qiao Lianjian were abruptly separated.

It's like they are people from two worlds.But Qiao Lianjian accepted him as a family member and warmed him up.He has the courage to stand here and live in this world.

Until Lu Xiumu walked up the second staircase, Qiao Lianjian's car was still parked there.

The lights were on in the car.

Qiao Lian saw the whole person lying on the steering wheel, looking very tired.

Lu Xiumu stopped and looked at it for a while, then started walking again.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Qiao Lianjian really showed up downstairs at Lu Xiumu's house on time.

Lu Xiumu changed his clothes early, got in the car, and set off to the golf course on the outskirts of the city.

Qiao Lianjian seemed to be in a much better mood, talking and laughing along the way.

Qiao Lianjian parked the car in the parking lot, and then entered the golf practice field with Lu Xiumu.

The entrance was spacious and bright. They stepped on the gray carpet. Qiao Lianjian went to the front desk to sign a signature, then took out the clubs stored here, and walked in with Lu Xiumu.

The practice field is located in the hilly and gentle slope area, and is divided into 18 fields of different sizes and shapes.

Each course consists of tee boxes, fairways, greens and holes.Markers such as 50 meters, 100 meters, 150 meters, 200 meters and 500 meters were erected in the audience.Sand traps, ponds, creeks, etc. are also intentionally set up in the field to form obstacle areas to increase the fun of hitting the ball and enrich the landscape of the field.

Qiao Lianjian quickly adjusted his state and took the lead in hitting a ball.He chose a double-layer ball, which has a longer flight distance.

Lu Xiumu sat in the rest area beside him and watched.

When Qiao Lianjian swings, he straightens his arms, bends his legs slightly, and the plane of the club is level with the ground, then rotates his arms 45 degrees, bends up, and finally swings the ball down, flying a long distance.

Qiao Lianjian hit the second and third balls confidently.

He smiled and waved to Lu Xiumu who was drinking water beside him: "Xiao Mu! Come over and try!"

Lu Xiumu quickly put down the water and trotted over.

Qiao Lianjian handed him the club and backed away.

Lu Xiumu was actually not very good at this kind of sports, but he didn't want to disappoint Qiao Lianjian who was full of expectations, so he tried his best.

His movement is slow, the ball is not far away, the farthest time is not more than 30 meters, sometimes only a few meters, and more often it is an empty pole.

Lu Xiumu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and when he wanted to try again, Qiao Lianjian stopped him.

What appeared in front of him was a new bottle of mineral water, the cap of which had been unscrewed.

"Take a rest, you are not in good health, don't be brave." Qiao Lianjian said softly, and wiped the sweat off Lu Xiumu's forehead with a paper handkerchief.

Lu Xiumu lowered his head in embarrassment.

They stayed in the stadium for nearly two hours before they planned to leave.

Qiao Lianjian was sweating heartily, even beads of sweat dripped from his hair.But the whole person also looked radiant.

Lu Xiumu waited on the side, and handed the towel to Qiao Lianjian.

Qiao Lianjian wiped his face carelessly, then hung the towel around his neck.

"Shall we have dinner together later?" Qiao Lianjian asked Lu Xiumu as he walked out.

Lu Xiumu shook his head: "I'm going to find Axuan in the afternoon, and I'll just settle it myself."

"Ah—" Qiao Lianjian made an expression of sudden realization, "Speaking of which, you haven't been there for a long time, so it's good to check it out. Let her chat with you more."

"Okay." Lu Xiumu replied obediently.

"Do you need me to take you there?" Qiao Lianjian turned to look at him.

"No. There's a bus going there directly."

Qiao Lianjian nodded, expressing his understanding, and said nothing more.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Xiumu arrived at his destination.

He still remembers the first time he came here.

It seemed that in March and April, he strayed into an alley and got lost like that.

He walked along the long fence, and the wisteria flowers hanging from the top of the wall were like curtains, blocking people's vision.

From a distance, it looks like a purple waterfall and a purple auspicious cloud.

Deep and light purple flows down from the sky, without seeing its beginning or end.The butterfly-shaped flowers are vertically downward and dreamlike.The dewdrops on the petals shone like silver, like splashes of water.

Lu Xiumu moved closer, the tip of his nose touched the petals, and a fresh fragrance came from his nostrils.He picked up a flower casually and held it in his palm.The petals are lavender, and one of the petals is larger and white.There is also a little green, which is far away from them.

And the wisterias that haven't opened yet hang on it like rice.

A gust of wind blows, the flowers sway in the wind, there is no sound.

This is a swaying blooming scene.

Lu Xiumu stood there for a long time, shocked.

He thought he had entered a purple dream.

After a long time, he seemed to be brought back to his senses by something, and he took a step forward and walked forward.

There is a gap in front, which is an iron door.There was only one gap open, and it was impossible to see what was inside.A corner of a plaque was exposed on one side of the iron gate, but it was covered by hanging vines.

Lu Xiumu bent down and reached out to pick up the vine.

Only then did he see the golden words on the plaque: Muyang Private Psychological Counseling Office.

"Do you have an appointment?"

The sudden female voice startled Lu Xiumu.

Only then did he notice Yu Zixuan who was sitting on the steps beside him eating a boxed lunch.

She was wearing a white coat with the eye-catching English font "shineonyou" printed on it.Like the unique slogan of this psychological counseling company.

"Shineonyou?" Lu Xiumu silently repeated several times in his heart.

That day was like a portent of fate for him.

But now it was just a winter afternoon, so it was naturally impossible to see such a spectacular sight.

But in different seasons, it looks different.

It was the first day after the snow, and the snow bent the branches and fell from the branches.The blue sky reflects dead branches and white snow.

Lu Xiumu looked up habitually, the long-lost sunshine bathed his body.

He was in a daze for a long time, and he didn't go into the psychological counseling office until his whole body was warmed up.

He walked across the open courtyard, and in one corner was a melting snowman.A red scarf is wrapped crookedly on it, and the snowman is smiling at everyone who passes by it.

Life is almost gone, can you still laugh?

Lu Xiumu wondered in his heart.

In the gazebo built on one side, there is a mother and daughter.The little girl was wearing very little clothes, but she held a huge doll in her arms.The mother was sitting while peeling apples for the little girl, while chatting with the little girl, the tip of her nose was red from the cold.The little girl just hugged the doll tightly, curled up into a ball, and didn't speak.

Lu Xiumu took a hasty glance and passed them.

When Lu Xiumu arrived, Yu Zixuan was playing box-to-ball games with other doctors, looking as if his blood was boiling and he would never return if he won.

"Haha, two wins in three sets, you lost!" Yu Zixuan said aggressively.

But the other party played tricks: "How can it be! It was clearly agreed at the beginning that it would be five sets and three wins!"

"Ah Xuan..." Lu Xiumu hesitated for a long time before interrupting.

Yu Zixuan was about to roll up her sleeves to argue with the other party when she heard a voice and stood up abruptly: "Ah, Xiao Mu, you are here!"

After finishing speaking, he left the other boxing players behind and dragged Lu Xiumu into his consulting room.

"What were you doing just now?" Lu Xiumu asked curiously.

"It's boxing guessing." Yu Zixuan closed the door and turned on the heater. "There is a patient suffering from rage disorder who is particularly difficult to deal with. They say whoever loses will go to see a doctor for him."

"Cyrrhic?"

"Yeah, it's fierce."

Now mentioning Yu Zixuan is still full of reluctance.

"By the way, Xiao Mu, do you want tea?" Yu Zixuan asked.

"Well, it's troublesome."

So Yu Zixuan got up to make tea for Lu Xiumu, with a sophisticated and beautiful posture when serving the tea.

Lu Xiumu took the blue and white porcelain teacup from Yu Zixuan and thanked him.
