71. Unprepared for sudden changes
Goodbye Bailan, but she was in the villa. Lu Yan had not come back to work yet. I happened to have no classes today. I originally wanted to go out and go to the home store to buy a softer backrest to come back.
As a result, Lu Yan called me back and asked, "He Sang, where are you?"
"It's at home. What's wrong? I'm just about to go out. Don't you think our backrest is uncomfortable? I heard from my colleagues that there is a home in Henglong that has just been opened and the things inside are very useful. I'm going to see if there are any more comfortable things to buy two of them back."
"Don't rush out first. Bailan wants to send some things to our house. She insisted on thanking me for helping her, so she sent some grains grown by her relatives in the countryside. Since she is coming, you can't wait at home. After all, she is a guest, and I can't leave at work, so it's a bit rude to just let the aunt entertain her."
"Bai Lan? Is she coming?" I said with an oh, "Okay, I won't go out and wait for her."
I asked someone to open the door in advance and wait for her. Sure enough, a taxi was coming over. It was Bai Lan coming out of it. She saw me and said hello: "He Sang, you are at home, that's right. I'll send you something to eat."
She took out a few big bags from the trunk, and I took them over and said to her, "What are you doing so politely? You are Xiaoyan's sister, and that's your own person. Lu Yan should do some help."
"You can't do this. You have to be grateful as a person. I have received great favors. There is no valuable gift to you. I only have some vulgar grains to buy. I think you can buy anything else if you have money. This is grown at home and better than sold outside. Don't just dislike the things being thick."
"How could you dislike it? Lu Yanhui must be the happiest thing when you send these things. He likes to drink porridge. Now the ingredients are richer, so he should like it more."
My aunt put these things in the kitchen and I asked her to sit on the sofa. Actually, I don’t like to get along with Bai Lan. Although she is Xiaoyan’s sister, in my opinion, their personalities are really too different. What’s more, the last time she was in the hospital, although it was my fault and it was natural for her to complain about me, but I always felt a little uncomfortable when I heard what she said.
We sat like this and talked about some irrelevant words. Finally, we didn't know what happened and talked about Xiaoyan again. Bailan looked at me and touched her face and said, "You all say I look very similar to Lu Xiaoyan, and I also know that ordinary twins are the same, but I really haven't seen my sister. I wonder if you have a photo of her?"
When she said this, I nodded: "Yes, do you want to see it? I'm upstairs, or you go up and take a look with me."
"Okay." She stood up at first, and I quickly stood up and took her upstairs. Over the years, I really had several photo albums. I always felt that many processes of life had become past tense like a flash of time. The only situation in which the person involved could leave something was the only image. My mother often took photos for me when she was alive. My brother was not a careful person, so naturally I didn't know how to put it away, so I collected them one by one. Later, when I went to school, my photos with classmates and friends would be placed in that photo album. Gradually, one could not be put down, only two or three.
But although I keep photos, I rarely look back and look around. Because I can't help but recall, and when it comes to memories, it's really a sad thing.
She stood at the door of our room and said with some restraint: "Well, this is your room with Brother Lu. Will it be convenient for me to enter? Would you take the initiative?"
"No, come in. But I just woke up just now and I was too lazy to lay the bed and put my clothes casually. Just don't joke."
My photo albums are placed in the drawer at the bottom of the wardrobe. The first one is a photo of my brother and other children when I was a child, but I didn’t take it out. I probably flipped through the remaining two books, and there were Lu Xiaoyan. When we were in college, we often went out to play together, and there were indeed many photos. Every time I took photos, I would wash them out and put them in the photo album.
But I also saw a lot of photos of Xu Zhi and me. I was a little stunned. Bai Lan asked behind me, "Have you found it?"
"Oh. I found it." Because I thought that she didn't know Xu Zhi anyway, it didn't matter even if I saw these photos, so I didn't think too much and gave it to her directly.
Bai Lan took the album, looked back one by one, and finally found Lu Xiaoyan. The photo she flipped out happened to be the ones that Lu Xiaoyan and I were going to climb the mountain, and the two of them were taking pictures on the edge of the mountain road. Behind it was green bamboo that seemed to drip out of water, the scenery was pleasant. She was shorter than me, and she hugged my arm and leaned against me and gestured with a scissors hand, so childish.
"You must have had a good relationship at that time. It looks so close."
"Well, it's very good. Like a real sister, we all have only brothers and no sisters. But when we meet each other, it's a rare fate."
She pursed her lips: "He Sang, I feel a little thirsty. Can you ask you for a glass of water?"
"Of course, wait a moment, I'll go downstairs and let my aunt make a cup of tea."
"Thank you. Just boiled water, please trouble you."
I brought the water up, she put down the album and said, "I have seen what Lu Xiaoyan looks like. I have been disturbing today for a long time, so I will say goodbye first."
I was about to go out, so I took her back by the way. Bailan's place is in Shuiyunhua City. I suddenly remembered what my friend said before. She said that Lu Yan was accompanying a woman to see the house, so she couldn't help but look at her and said, "Do you live there?"
"No, I'm going to open a flower shop there soon. The storefront has been cleared and is under renovation. I'll go see how it's going to be today?"
"Oh, are you going to open a flower shop?" In order to confirm my guess, I added: "Next time you look for the house, I will ask Lu Yan to come back. He is an expert in this field and recognizes many people in the real estate industry. Maybe there is something that can be helped."
"I'm looking for Brother Lu." Bai Lan smiled at me: "Why didn't Brother Lu tell you? He bought my storefront, so I'm very grateful."
"Yes?" Lu Yanhui refused to say to me how many things were there? I don't know.
It's a sunny day, and the sun is dazzling. I put down the blindfold so I don't have to squint my eyes and drive.
Bailan said to me: "Speaking of this, Brother Lu is really a good person. He said he hoped that I would do some business to support myself and my parents, so he suggested that I could open a flower shop, saying that it would be more labor-saving and suitable for girls to start such a business."
"It's pretty good." I only said these three words because I don't know what to say.
I sent her to the place and saw that the photos there were already hung up. The name of the flower shop was very thoughtful, called "Flowers in Dreams". The two shops are very suitable in size and are very conspicuous in location. It is a good place. Lu Yanhui is really considerate.
Bailan got off the car and said goodbye to me: "You can come and sit often in the future. The business should be open next month. You can play with Brother Lu at that time."
"Will. Goodbye."
I walked around and walked for halfway through the road before I realized that I was heading back again. I forgot my purpose of going out.
Lu Yan was in a bad mood when he came back. He didn't come back for dinner. I seemed to have heard that their company had a quarterly summary meeting in the evening, and there should be a banquet after the meeting. I don't know who made him angry, so when he saw me when he came back, he ignored me.
The movie channel shows an old American drama. I have watched it many times and I am familiar with some of the lines. I originally just wanted to pass the time and wait for him to come back by the way, but who knew that this person didn't give me a good look, and I felt a little depressed.
So I wanted to take a shower and go to bed.
Water is really a good thing. It can maintain life and relieve people's boredom. I am soaked in warm water and feel that every cell in my body is stretching.
When I came out, Lu Yan returned to sit on the sofa and looked at me. His eyes were cold, which made my body, which was obviously warm, shivering involuntarily. I asked him with some trepidation: "What's wrong with you? It seems that something was wrong when you come back today. Isn't it normal when I called me in the afternoon?"
But Lu Yan replied, "He Sang, you really disappointed me."
"What's wrong with me?" I asked him with a frown, feeling that I didn't understand where his sudden anger came from. However, Lu Yanhui suddenly threw a photo on the coffee table onto my face, and the sharp edges scratched my face and it hurt.
When I saw that it was a photo of me and Xu Zhi. In the photo, we were all wearing bachelor's uniforms from graduation. I stood on a low stone pier and kissed Xu Zhi's forehead.
My heart was shocked and I asked him: "Where did this come from?"
"What do you think?"
I subconsciously glanced at the cabinet where I was putting the album, and asked him: "Have you flipped through my stuff?"
He walked over and opened the drawer, took out all my photo albums, spread them on the bed, turned over a few pages, but sneered: "So you still keep these things as treasures? But you guessed wrong. I really don't know where you came from. You don't count them yourself?"
"Where did it come from?" I thought of Bai Lan looking over my photo in the afternoon, and suddenly looked up and asked her: "Is it that Bai Lan came out to show you when I was not paying attention? How could she do this?"
