Hua Ling was driving her car when her cell phone, which she was looking at the navigation system, suddenly rang. It was Wang Ze calling.
Hua Ling dialed the switch with her finger and turned on the speakerphone. Wang Ze's surprised voice suddenly filled the car: "Sir, why did you get on the highway without saying a word?!"
Hua Ling was confused: "Who told you?"
"Brother Lu, he sent me a message to tell me. Sir, are you going to Shanghai? Do you need to arrange accommodation? Luoluo happens to be on a business trip there, I will inform her!"
Hua Ling glanced sideways at Lu Ya, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Lu Ya turned his head and looked out the window guiltily.
"Okay, but when did Li Luo go to Shanghai, why didn't I know?"
"When we were expanding our business, the park you approved was about to be built in the suburbs of Shanghai. Luoluo went here this time to confirm the start of construction and to monitor it."
"I forgot about it...Okay, as long as you can arrange it properly."
"No problem! By the way, if my husband and Brother Lu live in Shanghai, will they have one or two bedrooms?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Hua Ling and Lu Ya said in unison.
"Oh - what if Brother Lu likes to sleep like a bird? One bedroom is enough, haha..." Everyone on the other side of the phone felt embarrassed.
"Two homes, two homes, you still ask." Hua Ling twitched her lips helplessly, not knowing what to say about Wang Ze.
"Hmm, okay, I'll go and notify Luo Luo right away."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Hua Ling continued to drive. Lu Ya sat thinking about it and suddenly turned to Hua Ling and said, "Actually, we can sleep on the same bed in a one-bedroom apartment."
"It's not necessary. It's not like I don't have money to buy a two-bedroom apartment."
After modern times, Hua Ling rarely used the sky as his bed and the earth as his bed. In the past, when staying in an inn, he would turn into a crow and sleep beside him. Later, if there was an extra bed, Hua Ling would naturally add one.
Lu Ya shook his head and leaned back in his chair: "Speaking of which, I have never been to Shanghai since last time."
"It's been more than eighty years," Hua Ling thought back.
"Do you think that room will still be there?"
"Maybe, but they should sell different things."
"makes sense."
Within a few minutes, another call came, and it was Li Luo.
After the call was connected, there was another wave of excited greetings: "Sir, sir, sir! Are you and Brother Lu coming to Shanghai?!"
"Don't get excited, don't get excited."
"I'm really excited. I feel like my husband has finally come out of isolation! ... Take a breath!" A sound of breathing could be heard on the other side of the phone. It should be Li Luo adjusting his emotions.
After a while, Hua Ling heard the voice on the other side of the phone breathing slightly softer: "Have you calmed down?"
"about there!"
"Um."
"Why did you suddenly come to Shanghai, sir? Did you discover something in Shanghai?"
"almost."
"almost?"
"It's another me."
"Huh? Another gentleman?" The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said to himself: "The gentleman is a person from another world who became a god - the gentleman in this world should still be an ordinary person - the gentleman wants to see what he has done
Ordinary self?”
"Understood correctly."
"It turns out that sir is from Shanghai in another world."
"Any questions?"
"No wonder you are so business-minded!"
"..." Hua Ling wanted to complain, but didn't know how to say it.
Lu Ya stood aside, holding back his laughter until he breathed out of his nose. After coughing a few times, he asked: "Luoluo, can the accommodation be arranged?"
Li Luo, who was on the other side of the phone, reacted after hearing what Lu Ya said: "Oh, yes, I came to ask about the residence! Look at my stupidity. Do Mr. and Brother Lu have any requirements for the location of the house?
Is it your husband’s decision to decorate or should I help him plan it?”
"The location... is probably near the suburbs. I'll send you an address and look for it nearby. I'll plan the decoration myself."
"Suburbs? Could it be near another gentleman's home?"
"right."
"Okay, no problem. I wish you a safe journey, sir~"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ya used his mobile phone to send the address to Li Luo. After Li Luo looked at the address, he found that it was not too far from the address of the park, so he went over to take a look.
It was an old-fashioned community consisting of a group of buildings. There was not even a security booth, and there was a vegetable market next to it.
"Sir, he lived in a place like this when he was a child..."
Li Luo was filled with emotion, picked up his cell phone and called someone: "Hey, find a two-bedroom apartment near xxx... Two-bedroom apartments don't have three bedrooms, this nonsense... It's not me who lives there, it's another person..."
You can't afford to offend me, and if you dare to be perfunctory, you're done. You're dead."
After Li Luo finished the phone call, he saw a junior high school student who was slightly shorter than himself who was coming home from school. He was wearing a red scarf and walking forward with his head lowered.
When the other party passed by him, he was bumped into by several children who appeared out of nowhere. The junior high school student even took a few steps to the side and bumped into Li Luo.
The children ran away, noisily, and turned back to make faces at the junior high school student and Li Luo. The junior high school student looked up at Li Luo, who had not yet put down the phone.
A junior high school student apologized for bumping into someone: "Sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Li Luo saw that this was a short-haired girl wearing black-rimmed glasses. She seemed a little aggrieved when she looked at Li Luo.
Li Luo patted the junior high school student on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, you didn't mean it."
The junior high school student pursed his lips and nodded, lowered his head, looked down, and continued walking forward.
When Li Luo turned around, he saw the name outlined in white lines on the junior high school student's black backpack - Fang Qitian.
The lines are crooked, one section after another, and sometimes there is a missing piece that cannot be connected. It looks like a child sewed it by himself.
"Qitian, what a good name. Why is it named Fang? Fang Qitian, Fang Qitian..." Li Luo put away his phone and left.
…
When Hua Ling and Lu Ya drove to the last service station of the trip, Li Luo suddenly called. It was already four o'clock the next morning.
"Hello?" Hua Ling yawned.
"Sir, we have already found a house. There is another relatively new community three to four hundred meters away from that community. I found a house facing the sun. There are no buildings blocking the window and I can see a lot of scenery."
"Oh, that's alright."
"Well, I have bought it for you in full, and the decoration company is also looking for it. Except for the basic facilities, the house is in rough condition. During the decoration period, you can live in another room, but it is in the urban area..."
"It's okay, that's it. Thank you for your hard work. You called me so late at night. Did you not sleep all night?"
"yes……"
"Then go to sleep."
"I will first send you the address of the house in the city. The door is a combination lock. The code is four digits and your birthday."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Hua Ling yawned again: "Ha - Lu Ya, you can drive next."
Hua Ling copied the address sent by Li Luo, adjusted the navigation, sat in the passenger seat, put down the seat, and lay down on the chair to sleep.
It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the morning that I arrived at the address, which was a small villa in the city.
