the landlord is a former

Chapter 36

Shi Jinzhi's eyes seemed to see a life-saving straw. Qiao Lu finally realized that she was not joking, so he restrained his laughing expression, and spit out three words: "Fu Baiqiu."

"Is the nickname Mao Mao?"

"Ah."

Shi Jinzhi's brows were quickly tightened, but his mood calmed down, as if he had a feeling in the dark, but it was confirmed, which made people feel more at ease.

"Jinzhi." Qiao Lu's face was solemn, "You really...don't remember?"

"I remember Maomao, I remember that face, but I don't remember what happened before, or my relationship with her." Shi Jinzhi said dejectedly.

Qiao Lu meditated, nodded, and waved her to sit down.

Shi Jinzhi sat down, crossed his fingers against his forehead, and Qiao Lu poured her a glass of water, "Sad, I just remember my ex-girlfriend, even I forgot. Did you get hit by a car?"

"Thank you." She took a sip, "No, the doctor said it was caused by drugs."

Although she has forgotten all about the people around her, her intuition is often very accurate. As soon as she sees Qiao Lu, she feels that she can trust him. He is a person who can speak openly. Today, she has to ask a lot of things, so what can she do if she is not at ease.

"Can you suffer from memory loss by taking medicine?" Qiao Lu was surprised, and realized that he had missed the point, "No, besides this, are there other effects?"

Shi Jinzhi shook his head and smiled at her.

This smile seemed to bring back the old feeling. Qiao Lu breathed a sigh of relief, patted her on the shoulder, and said helplessly, "You really gave me a big new year's 'surprise'."

"Joe Lu, can you tell me—"

"It's called Lulu." Rolling his eyes interrupted.

Shi Jinzhi changed his words in an obedient manner: "Lulu."

"Hey, dear." He touched his face, "Ask, I know everything, and I will be your time machine."

Shi Jinzhi lowered his head and thought for a while, organized his words, and said: "The information I know so far is that Maomao and I are high school classmates and have a good relationship. We went to study in the UK together. After graduation, she returned to China. I stayed in London. After that I haven't contacted her again until the end of October last year when I accidentally rented her house and lived with her, that is to say, there was a gap of seven years between me and her."

"Well, that's right."

"Now you say she is my ex-girlfriend, which means we haven't gotten back together yet, but I still write songs for her, please write the lyrics, what's going on?"

Qiao Lu followed her train of thought and found that her logic was quite clear. He replied: "Because you wanted to get back together with her. You returned to China in August last year just to find her. Who knew that you two were so destined that you could live in a rented house." Come together."

"When did we break up? What's the reason?" Shi Jin asked anxiously.

"I don't know the reason." Qiao Lu frowned, "It was the summer of 2010, probably, and you seemed to be very busy at that time, I couldn't even contact you, and I didn't know you broke up. You came back once in April and said you wanted to find her, but you couldn't find her, so I knew you broke up."

The space-time tunnel is very long, and some memories become blurred after a long time.

That year, Qiao Lu was studying in Shanghai, she was about to graduate, and the World Expo was opening. She was famous not long ago, but she was full of energy, busy with her music career, and flourished in China.

In June, she filmed the music video for her new album and went to Europe to shoot the scene. It coincided with the summer concert in Berlin. Jinzhi collaborated with the veteran conductor Simon and the orchestra on "La San" and asked her to listen.Tickets for such large-scale classical concerts were sold out at the beginning of the year, and she had no tickets, so she could only enter as a member of Jinzhi's team, accompanied by Fu Baiqiu.

At that time, the relationship between the two was still very good, one was radiant on stage, and the other was gazing affectionately off the stage, which made her feel unbearable.

On the second day after the concert, Fu Baiqiu returned to London first. She came here in a tight time, and Shi Jinzhi was going to Australia next. The schedule for the second half of the year was very full, flying all over the world.

Before returning to China, Qiao Lu said to her: I am waiting to drink the wedding wine for you two.

She smiled and said yes.

Later, Qiao Lu only saw her on the news. Due to the time difference and the fact that both of them were busy, they had less and less contact. She sent a message once in a while, and she didn't reply until ten days and a half months later, and only replied with a few simple words.

"Um", "Okay", "Nothing", "Busy", etc.

In April of the following year, Jinzhi suddenly called her and asked her if she knew Mao Mao's contact information, where he was, and she wanted to find her.

【What?broke up? 】

【Um】

【why?It’s so good, I’m still waiting for the wedding wine]

She didn't speak and wept.

To this day, Qiao Lu still remembers her distraught look at that time, and when she learned that Fu Baiqiu could not be contacted, it seemed that the sky was about to fall.

She said that she came back because of work, and she was looking for someone just by the way. The manager watched her very closely. She came out secretly, so she couldn't stay for long, and left after staying for less than half an hour.This time, there was no news for a long time, except for the sudden increase of lace news on the Internet.

She came back again in October, looking for someone, but found nothing.

May, July 2012.

February, September, November 2013.

March, May, August, December 2014.

March, May, August, December 2015.

February, September, November 2016.

A total of [-] times I returned to China, all because of work, nothing more than going to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao SARs, attending concerts or award ceremonies, etc.Finding someone is just by the way, sneaking out every time, secretly contacting friends.

But she seldom went home, even if she went back to Rongcheng eighteen times.

Qiao Lu only thought that she was busy, performing hundreds of performances a year, practicing the piano every day, and flying in the sky, but she didn't expect that she had been obsessed with finding that person for so long.

"Did I say who brought up the breakup?" Shi Jinzhi became more panicked the more he heard it.

Qiao Lu said: "She mentioned it."

"...It's over." Shi Jinzhi's face paled suddenly, and he muttered to himself, "I must have done something to apologize to her, and then she proposed to break up and went back to China. Find it, right?"

Qiao Lu was silent.

She is an outsider when it comes to emotional matters, so she doesn't like to judge.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and there was a low sobbing sound in his ears. Qiao Lu was startled, and turned his head to see Shi Jinzhi wiping tears. Seeing me, what face do I have to pester her."

It doesn't count if you are pestering, what did you give someone to last night.

"Don't cry, who said that you must have done something wrong to her, you are not that kind of person." Qiao Lu frantically grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears.

Shi Jinzhi sniffed, took a breath, and forced himself to regain his composure, "It's too messy, I'm too messy now, I haven't figured out the termination of the contract yet, it looks like I'm going to the UK, if I can contact the former team……"

"Don't you!" Qiao Lu exploded.

"why?"

Speaking of this, Qiao Lu couldn't get angry, "Search yourself online, how many gossip news in 13 and 14, and what kind of variety shows did you come to China, learn from the traffic stars, and attract a wave of fans in the fan circle Recruiting gangsters everywhere is a good thing done by your manager, and he almost ruined you when he saw the money!"

"My agent?"

"Jinzhi, if you can't remember the past, don't think about it. You can forget it. If you just want to get your ex-girlfriend back, you can ask her directly. If she is determined not to talk to you, you can't force her to." Qiao Lu persuaded him earnestly, and inexplicably remembered that he and Jinzhi had been fired from CP, and felt a little irritable.

But people are like this, the more secret something is, the more he can't help but want to explore it. Shi Jinzhi suddenly became enlightened, as if he had found a new breakthrough.

Talking in the office until the evening, Qiao Lu invited Shi Jinzhi to dinner, and asked his assistant to order food at the hotel to eat at home to avoid suspicion.

There is a small box in Qiao Lu's house, and there are some old things of Shi Jinzhi and Fu Baiqiu piled in it. Originally, she planned to put them away temporarily when she returned to China, and move them out when she settled down. Unexpectedly, she put them away for more than four months.

When he was leaving, Qiao Lu saw her off and brought back the box for her, but she didn't want the song she had written, and Qiao Lu was so angry that he almost strangled her to death.

It was dark, and so was the house.

Shi Jinzhi turned on the headlight in the living room, the room was quiet, the suitcase was still open on the floor, the unfinished clothes inside were scattered, the dining table was neat and tidy, the tea sets were neatly arranged, and there was no trace of eating.

She changed her shoes and looked upstairs.

The lights on the second floor were not turned on, it was pitch dark, and the door of the master bedroom was still closed.Shi Jinzhi guessed that the man was probably still asleep, and looked at the wall clock. It was past eight o'clock, and thinking of the afternoon's instructions, he gave up the idea of ​​going up to call for someone.

She packed up the clothes in the suitcase, put her part in the closet, put Mao Mao's part on the sofa temporarily, wiped the suitcase, put it in the storage room, and then went to take a shower.

Originally planned to take a shower and practice the piano, but thought that the person upstairs was sleeping, so he gave up and went into the house with a small box brought from Qiao Lu's house.

The box is not old, it doesn't look very old, Shi Jinzhi wiped it clean, put it on the bay window, and solemnly opened it with a sense of ceremony.

What came into view was a photo frame. In the photo, Fu Baiqiu was wearing a school uniform with a ponytail, looking a little young and immature, holding a rainbow lollipop in her hand, with a gentle and sweet smile, and a row of small white teeth showing between her lips.The golden number in the lower right corner shows the shooting time, April 2005, 4.

17 years old, her birthday.

Scroll down, and there is a thick photo album.

Single photos, group photos, from 2004 to 2010, from high school to college graduation, from 16 to 22 years old, six years.

Continue to browse, there are meal cards from Rongcheng No. [-] Middle School, hair ties, necklaces, love letters written by Maomao to her... and even those small used toys!

Pink, butterfly-shaped, charged.

Shi Jinzhi picked it up blushing, and pressed the switch inadvertently. Unexpectedly, the little toy still had electricity, and it vibrated crazily, making her fingers numb. Back in the box.

call--

Taking a deep breath, she pressed the back of her hand to her cheek, forcing herself to calm down.

Unexpectedly, his eyes fell on a small box again, and he took it out out of curiosity, and it turned out to be a box of unused finger|gloves...

Shi Jinzhi suddenly thought of last night, and her blood surged suddenly. The air conditioner was not turned on in the house in winter, but it made her so dry that she wanted to go out and enjoy the cold wind.

I don't know if Qiao Lu has ever opened this box.

I hope not.

Ashamed.

Shi Jinzhi blushed and put away the small toys and finger|gloves, kept taking deep breaths, continued to rummage through the box, and then found a diary.The paper of the book is a little yellowed, but the dense pen writing inside is still clear. Judging from the content and tone, it is probably written by myself in high school.

[September 2004, 9, Qing: I transferred to Class 3 at the beginning of school, sitting behind Maomao.There is no difference for me whether I study liberal arts or science, I already have a goal and direction in life, I just choose this place to be closer to Maomao...]

[September 2004, 9, Qing: Maomao is so serious in class, but I only want to harass her, why am I so bad]

[October 2004, 10, Qing: I don’t want to go to the United States. There is no Mao Mao there. I won’t be happy if I go there.

[October 2004, 10, sunny: Maomao’s 8th birthday, I gave her myself as a gift, she is not good at technology, she still needs to learn more]

[October 2004, 10, overcast: I took Maomao to skip class to the piano room, but was caught by the teacher, but why didn’t the teacher criticize me, and only let Maomao stand?It's so unfair, my Mao Mao is standing alone in the corridor...]

[November 2004, 11, overcast: Another boy wrote a note to Maomao!But that's not the point!The point is that she didn't lose it!Stay in your pocket!I took it out!Scum girl!I decided to have a cold war with her for a week! 】

[December 2004, 12, Yu: I am so happy, Maomao knit me a scarf, although it is ugly, hahaha, you can’t say it to Maomao’s face, I want to wear it every day]

[February 2005, 2, Yin: I was scolded bloody by Mao Mao, because school starts the day after tomorrow, and I haven't finished my winter vacation homework yet, but she looks super cute while scolding me and helping me with my homework! 】

……

The diary is not long, mostly daily journals, and it stopped in March 06.

Three sentences are inseparable from Maomao.

That man was her first love, her youth.

- bata

A drop of tear fell on the paper, blurred with wet marks, Shi Jinzhi wiped away the tear, hurriedly closed the book, raised his neck and panted heavily.

I didn't sleep well all night, and Jinzhi didn't get up until after nine o'clock the next day.

She yawned and walked into the bathroom, washed up slowly, regained consciousness, and turned to the kitchen.In the past few days, Maomao would leave breakfast for her. She stood in front of the stove and habitually opened the lid of the voltage cooker, but found that it was empty.

Ok?

As soon as I looked around, the kitchen was as clean as it had never been used.

Shi Jinzhi was stunned, went out to the gate to see that Mao Mao's shoes were still there, and then opened the small door leading to the garage, the car was also there.

Didn't get up?

After observing for the past few days, she knows that Maomao has a regular routine. Regardless of working days or rest days, she always goes to bed before 07:30 at night, and wakes up no later than [-]:[-] in the morning, but now it is past [-]:[-].

From sleeping yesterday afternoon to this morning...

Shi Jinzhi's face turned slightly pale, and without thinking about rushing up to the second floor, and without knocking on the door, he pressed the handle and pushed the door in, and a burst of warm air rushed in.

A human figure was arched on the large double bed, with its head exposed, and its long black and soft hair scattered on the pillow. Shi Jinzhi walked over quickly and saw that the person's eyes were half-opened, his cheeks were flushed, and the breath he exhaled was deep and deep. Heavy, could not help but frown.

"Maomao?" She sensed something was wrong, and reached out to press her forehead.

The palm is hot and the temperature is scorching.

Shi Jinzhi suddenly panicked, "It's so hot, you have a fever."
