Chapter 13 Chapter 13
A week later, the "Nanke Hotel" was full of clothes and temples, and all the brilliant stars in the sky and the splendor of the world that belonged to Wuzhou City that night gathered here.
Lu Zhile, who was wearing an evening gown, and Lu Zhiyao, who was wearing a flannel suit, walked into the hotel door with her head held high and her feet in a soothing and elegant step.Lu Zhile greeted the famous lady with a nod and a smile, while tugging at Lu Zhiyao: "Hey, how is the arrangement, is it worthy for you to come on stage and win this year's top card?"
Just in time for Christmas, a four-meter-high silver Christmas tree was placed in the lobby, wrapped with sapphire blue ribbons and light belts, and the gift boxes provided by various sponsors were piled up under the tree for guests to pick up by themselves.Lu Zhiyao's eyes have been searching for someone's figure, and he is really not in the mood to savor it carefully, but there is a trace of complaint in his heart: It makes sense to make it silver and white, after all, it is already very shitty if it is not decorated in a red and green style. restrained.He was dragged by Zhile and managed to regain his senses: "Huh? Oh, it's pretty good. It's much better than the last time I watched it."
On the spiral staircase, Qian Xiaoding was wearing a dark suit, holding a handful of lollipops, sitting on the steps and teaching Christmas songs to the children brought by a few celebrities while giving out candy: "Come sing with me, import watch, import Watches, imported foreign watches. (jinglebells, jinglebells, jinglealltheway)" Lu Zhiyao smiled wryly and pushed his head. He searched the venue for a long time but couldn't find it. Lu Zhiyao remembered that he said that he would not come.
The charity dinners in previous years were the year-end programs that Lu Zhiyao was looking forward to the most, because this banquet was not only a super year-end event that gathered celebrities from all walks of life in Wuzhou, but also released "Wuzhou Fengyun Net" by all netizens in the city in the past year. Wuzhou Gongzi List and Wuzhou Celebrity List selected by votes.At this year's banquet, all the real estate bigwigs in Wuzhou were invited, including Cao Wanhong.A few third-rate starlets were warming up on the stage, and for a while, the venue was full of sensuality and sparkle.
However, Lu Zhiyao kept his head down all the time today, isolating all the glare and hustle and bustle with his heart full of thoughts.
Outside the reception room at the corner of the second floor of Nanke, wearing a black suit for a long time, stood lightly on his feet, and lit a cigarette by the window sill at the door.In the reception room, Cao Wanhong was being interviewed by the local media: "Mr. Cao, let's talk about Yuanhong's recent investment actions. Is there any internal news that has won several pieces of land in Qingshui District?"
"Haha, if you have news, you should be the first to know about it. Qingshui is a place, haha, with unlimited potential, and Yuanhong is not keen on making hot money, so you still have to look farther."
After a long glance at Cao Wanhong, who was being watched by the reporters, he left silently with a calm expression.
After the dinner began, the lights on the stage in the banquet hall shone brightly, but the light off the stage was a bit dim. For a while, there was a clear boundary between light and dark, and the singing and dancing may be peaceful because of the long night.
When the lights under the stage dimmed for a long time, he walked in from the door and sat at the back several tables away from Lu Zhiyao.
In the donation session of the Wuzhou business community, Cao Lin took Cao Wanhong’s arm and walked onto the stage to present a check on behalf of Yuanhong. Cao Lin was wearing a haute couture dress and a bright yellow headband from the early spring flower series today. Her proud gaze and The smile seemed to raise the stage height several feet under the cone spotlight.
Narrowing his eyes slightly for a long time, he recalled that a few days ago, Cao Lin held a memorial service for Shen Li at Wu Normal University, picked up Shen Li's ashes from the depository, and took the lead in buying a tablet for the memorial hall After being settled down, Cao Lin was the one who cried the most deeply and painfully among all the students that day. Xu Jiu and Zhao Yi watched them from a distance outside the memorial hall. Cao Lin at that moment and Cao Lin on stage today were like a delicate and gorgeous There are two completely different souls on the body of the doll.
Lu Zhiyao heard the announcement of No. 1 on the list of young masters when he was sleepy, and his first reaction was to yawn in a not so obvious way.This Xuqi's raised head is just a synonym for being coveted for wealth and resources, but at this moment he can't even grasp the person he holds in his heart. It's really not as comfortable as going home and dreaming of that person coming.
He didn't come back to his senses until the audience burst into applause and several of Lu Zhiyao's little brothers whistled and booed at him.Lu Zhiyao stood up and greeted everyone hastily. Before his butt could touch the stool, the host's voice picked him up in time: "Today's opportunity is rare. Mr. Lu has been No. 1 for several years. Today, Yuanhong and Mobius has also contributed his strength to charity, according to the practice of previous years, please come to the stage and say a few words."
Every time in this part of the past, Lu Zhiyao would gossip on the stage, from thousands of years of history to popular Korean girl groups, from stock economics to the fish ball egg noodles in a certain street, until everyone is talking about Mobi Birds left a lasting impression all year long.However, today's Lu Zhiyao felt a little wrinkled and uncomfortable, and he was a little bit evasive about going on stage, wondering if he could be fooled, so anxious that Qian Xiaoding almost didn't hug him directly.Lu Zhile, who had just won No.6 on the Celebrity List beside him, was pushing him hard. When Lu Zhiyao turned his head and stared at Zhile, he caught a glimpse of Xu Jiu, who was sitting at several tables behind him, looking at him with a smile on his face. He applauded lightly with everyone present.
Zhile frowned and shook his sweating hand: "It's not the first time you won first place, why are you so nervous? Why can I feel my heart beating!" Lu Zhiyao turned his head in a daze, and walked step by step Moved to the stage.
Lu Zhiyao's hand holding the microphone trembled a little. The bigwigs and ladies in the audience were ready to listen to Mr. Lu's storytelling. But after looking in a certain direction with affectionate eyes for a long time, Mr. Lu only said lightly. One sentence: "Let's play a piece of music for everyone, and take this opportunity to give it to someone. He is at the scene, and I hope he can understand it."
There was an uproar in the audience, and the voices whispered to each other one after another, and they kept turning their heads to search, guessing who Lu Zhiyao was talking about.
For a long time, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were fixed on him.
Lu Zhiyao turned around and sat down in front of the grand piano on the stage, crossing his hands, and then a melodious and pleasant sound of the piano filled the venue.
Lu Zhiyao played a song that no one had heard before, so he sang softly with the microphone on the piano:
The black sky is holographically reflected in my eyes,
The pure white you are as far away as a thousand miles away from me,
The palms were blown and cooled by the wind and were not held by you,
Each snowflake spins and dances into icicles at the corners of the eyes,
I rely on a cigarette to get closer to you
You say we're not in the same script,
It seems to be implying that everything else is fine,
Except for saying I love you.
The falling ginkgo blocks me from peeking at you,
The dust and frost all over the ground can't turn into the breath I want after all,
When you retreat into your arms and there is nothing to expect,
Every memory flips and extinguishes the vast snow.
You use a cigarette to separate yourself from me,
Back again and again so naturally nothing new,
It seems to be a reminder that prayer is also okay,
But please forget to think about you.
……
Lu Zhiyao is not from a major, and his singing is not professional, but the songs are original by relying on his piano boy skills since he was a child, and the lyrics under the piano probably only take a long time to understand what they mean.
Mr. Lu sang too much, and once choked up slightly.
At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause, and the organizer followed up with a song with a strong sense of rhythm in this climactic atmosphere. After the intermission, the banquet hall will be changed into a high-class dance floor.
Before the guests started to move around, for a long time, he took one last look at Lu Zhiyao who had just stood up from the piano, and hurried outside.Immediately after that, all the guests stood up, and the banquet hall was in chaos. Lu Zhiyao searched through the crowds for a long time, and he ran off the stage in a hurry.
The guests were holding wine glasses for a brief pre-prom socialization in the banquet hall. The daughter of a provincial real estate tycoon caught up with Lu Zhiyao and handed him a glass of Ace of Spades with a smile. Her face was shining pink under the light. .Lu Zhiyao smiled politely at her, glanced at the direction where he had left for a long time, took the wine glass, and took a sip with his lips pursed.After talking for a few words, Lu Zhiyao found that Jiu Jiu was walking towards the balcony next to the side exit of the banquet hall, and hurriedly said "Excuse me" without being rude, and chased him out.
The cold wind was blowing outside the house, and there was no one on the terrace. After a long time, he came out and lit a cigarette leaning against the handrail of the fence. It was probably because the house was too hot. His suit jacket was still draped over his shoulders, with one hand in his pocket.
Lu Zhiyao walked out through the crowd and stood behind him for a long time: "Didn't you say you can't come?"
He tilted his head for a long time, didn't look back at him, and didn't answer.
Lu Zhiyao came closer, shivering in the cold wind: "You may not believe it, I have never thanked someone from the bottom of my heart like I thank Shen Li. Not only because she let me see this again The world is also because she let me see you. You are right, we are obviously not familiar with each other, but I have an unforgettable feeling. "
After smoking for a long time, the night sky of Wuzhou was reflected in his eyes, it was pitch black.
Lu Zhiyao: "I know you want to say it's because of Shen Li, but she only gave me eyes, she didn't change my heart. I know who I pretend to be."
Seeing that he still didn't respond, Lu Zhiyao strode over and turned him around with the arm that had been pulled for a long time, looking into his eyes.
Suddenly, one or two white flocs were stained on the railing of Nanke's terrace, and in a blink of an eye, under the night sky, a thin layer of first snow began to fall sparsely.
Calculating the time, it is indeed time for snow to fall in Wuzhou.
The handsome young man in Lu Zhiyao's eyes and the silent man in front of him finally merged into one.
He looked at it seriously for a long time, betting on the affection that he had never abused in his life, and said softly: "I know it's not convincing to say that I love someone without a reason, can you give me a chance to prove that I am not Anybody like that."
After listening for a long time, there was an imperceptible sigh in his throat, he took a slight step forward, and gently embraced Lu Zhiyao into his arms, still holding the suit jacket in his hand, holding him tightly with one hand for a long time, his face pressed against Landing on Zhiyao's neck.
"Lu Zhiyao, I don't want to take this step with you."
The eyes for a long time were as gentle as water one moment, but they seemed to be frozen into ice the next second. The heat in the room that remained on the coat was dissipated in an instant, and the biting cold wind rumbled against Lu Zhiyao's ears, like a hammer There were countless sneering voices in my heart.
He finally understood that if he didn't love him for a long time, there was no love between them.
On a midwinter night in Wuzhou, the wind was biting, and the ground was full of wind and frost. Lu Zhiyao was wearing a single shirt and a suit, and his hands greedily hugged his back for a long time, clinging to his arms, his teeth trembling desperately, making an uncontrollable "" Giggling" voice, a tiny voice that was almost inaudible came out from between the lips: "Why?"
He didn't want to believe every word that Jiu Jiu said, but when he asked this "why", there was a kind of humbleness that went straight to the bottom, which hurt Lu Zhiyao breathlessly.
He sighed for a long time.
Why?No why.Those loves and hates are long-standing and obscure, and one day they will be uncovered, and the skin will be bruised and the sky will be shaken. It is not a decent thing. Let him live in a world full of flowers and always be a heartless son, wouldn't it be good? ?For them, love is likely to take the first step, and there will be no end.
After closing his eyes for a long time and letting go of him, Lu Zhiyao even had the illusion that his lips had left a soft and restrained kiss on the side of his neck the moment he let go.At the moment when Jiu Jiu turned to leave, the "Nanke Hotel" set off fireworks for celebration downstairs, and they flew straight into the sky, blooming wantonly above Jiu Jiu's head.Fireworks can't see the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the world. If you say they are fireworks for celebration, they will stimulate visual joy. If you say they are lonely bursts, they will just spread into smoke.
It's just a chemical reaction, it's the same in the sky or in the eyes, who will take it seriously.
Qian Xiaoding and Lu Zhile were holding the glass in the room, and they couldn't see their faces clearly. They only saw the person opposite Lu Zhiyao turn away, and they looked at each other.
Qian Xiaoding: "Eh? Didn't you hug me, why are you leaving! Are the fireworks set off early or late?"
Lu Zhile: "I don't know, it seems that the situation is not good. When he asks, anyway, you let the downstairs release it."
Qian Xiaoding: "..."
Lu Zhi looked away at the back of the man who had been away for a long time, and the picture in front of him was upgraded to a slow torture, and every frame was mixed with cold pain.Putting the suit on his shoulders for a long time, he left without hesitation amidst the brilliant fireworks and the flying snow.In the same snowstorm, the boy in his eyes walked towards him, but the man in front of him left him.
Lu Zhiyao's heart was completely silent, he felt that he was almost going to split his mind.
This gorgeous fireworks can clearly bring out the colorful joy of the world, but when so many colors fall drop by drop, in Lu Zhiyao's eyes, only the cold night and the cold night on the roofs of Wuzhou are filtered out. The white snow on the tip of the boy's nose.
With his body temperature still in his arms, Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth and sighed softly.He has seen too many leaving backs for a long time, and when leaving him, he is always so natural and decisive.
It turns out that falling in love with someone starts when you look at his back when he leaves.The affectionate eyes were clouded and turned into wounds in the dark night, and all the colorful colors seemed to burn Lu Zhiyao's whole sincerity.
It turned out to be such a difficult thing to grow old forever, and Lu Zhiyao was so embarrassed even at the first step.For the first time, he wished that he could live in Shen Li's eyes. It was there for a long time, and Shen Li's memory would last forever.
Only in the face of death is life within reach.
Lu Zhiyao turned around and walked into the banquet hall, a message popped up on his phone.
Jiang Min: "The nurse got in touch and asked you to meet at the hospital tomorrow."
Sitting beside the bed in the room of the nursing home for a long time wearing a suit, Xu Dongmei started to feel a little dizzy at night. Just after leaving Nanke, Xu Jiu received a call from Xiao Li.
Xu Jiu tucked the quilt for Xu Dongmei: "Xiao Li, go and rest, I'll watch over tonight."
"Okay, brother Xu, take care of your health, call me to help you for a while when you're tired." Xiao Li said standing up and walking out of the room.
For a long time, he supported his knees on his elbows and rubbed his face with his palms.
Xu Dongmei opened her eyes and woke up, her consciousness seemed to be clearer, she turned her head and glanced at the suit she had been wearing for a long time: "Where did you come from Zhiyao?"
For a long time, he buried his face in his hands: "Yeah."
Xu Dongmei: "He didn't recognize us?"
Jiu Jiu: "He was still too young at that time, and I didn't recognize him immediately when I saw him again. It is impossible for him to remember us."
Xu Dongmei closed her eyes lightly in the dark: "It's over whether you check the past, don't let them become a thorn in your heart."
Not long after, there was a steady snoring sound from the bed.Jiu Jiu walked to the balcony where the cold wind was blowing, and when he turned to leave Lu Zhiyao, he could feel Lu Zhiyao's cold hands trembling, Jiu Jiu spread out his palms, knowing that he was unable to hold him tightly, Jiu Jiu never did things that he was not sure of , he didn't want Lu Zhiyao to face those choices in the end.
Pulling away from the tangled and chaotic thoughts, he entered the house wrapped in a cold wind for a long time.The phone rang suddenly - it was Zhao Yi's call.
"Captain Xu, I found Shen Li's grandmother. Uh, I mean Shen Yong's mother-in-law. She is out of town and can be sent to the Qingshui District Bureau tomorrow."
Puzzled for a long time: "Why his mother-in-law? Where is Shen Yong's wife?"
"When the child was born and found sick, her wife ran away from home and never came back. But this grandma, it is said that she took care of Chen Li in Qingshui for several years when she was a child. The woman the neighbor saw should be her."
Jiu Jiu: "Definitely send someone to bring them to me safely. We will meet up in Qingshui tomorrow."
Outside the window is the snowy night, and in a room, "da"—"da"—is the sound of pressing a lighter.
As the flames moved, a pair of delicate eyes flickered in the darkness. The eyes were lonely and gloomy, staring at a photo on the white wall beside the bed. In the photo, a man and a woman had old-fashioned hairstyles and wore old-fashioned clothes. The clothes, two people cuddling together, although it is a color photo, but the color seems to be processed, it is an old color photo from a long time ago.
