Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 21: IOU

    "Xiao Xi."

    "Huh?"

    Dong Zhi is actually not sure whether the rumors are related to Lu Lingxi, but several key points in the rumors are all right with Lu Lingxi. The gardening shop, the son named Ling Xi, the most important thing is that the appearance of Yan Yue reminds Dong Zhi of the rumored car that hit people. He hesitated to tell Lu Lingxi about the incident. The middle-aged man who suddenly committed suicide in the busy city because of gambling money separated his wife and son, and his son was working in a gardening shop. In the end, he was taken to the hospital by the young car owner who hit him, and the car that hit him. Human Jaguar. If it is a coincidence, it is not a coincidence that so many have met Dong Zhi.

    After Dong Zhi finished speaking, Lu Lingxi was stunned. He heard it himself and felt that something was wrong. The middle-aged man in the rumors was too much like Lu Yishui. Listening to Dong Zhi's meaning, he suspects that the blackmailed car owner is Yan Yue, but if it was Yan Yue, why didn't he say it just now? When Lu Yishui suddenly agreed to divorce yesterday, Lu Lingxi felt a little uneasy, thinking of calling Wang Shuxiu and asking.

    "Thank you, Brother Dong, I'll go back first."

    Lu Lingxi said goodbye in a hurry. As soon as he left, Da Hei, who had been lying lazily, immediately stood up and followed closely behind him.

    Lu Lingxi returned to Micro Gardening, holding the phone hesitantly how to tell Wang Shuxiu. He didn't believe that Lu Yishui committed suicide in the busy market. If the other party really regretted it, he would not be a scoundrel who would force Wang Shuxiu to sell the house to pay off the debt before he would agree to divorce. But what Brother Dong described was too similar to Lu Yishui, especially the phrase "Ling Xi's father" asked by the car owner. Is there anyone else working in a gardening shop who is also called Ling Xi?

    He was hesitating when Wang Shuxiu called.

    "Isn't the old **** looking for you?" Wang Shuxiu asked aggressively when she came up.

    Although it wasn't the first time I heard it, Lu Lingxi still had to take a few seconds to digest the words old bastard. "no, what happened?"

    "I don't know where the old **** got the money and paid off all the gambling debts." Wang Shuxiu just heard the news from Brother Feng, and immediately suspected Lu Yishui. He went to Lu Lingxi behind her back and mortgaged the house.

    Lu Lingxi suddenly thought of the rumor and asked softly, "A lot of money?"

    Since Lu Yishui didn't go to Lu Lingxi, Wang Shuxiu didn't care, and said casually: "400,000. It's okay, the old **** doesn't look for you, even if he gets rich, it doesn't matter to us, We don't care about his money either. I just said that the **** got divorced so neatly yesterday, and the relationship is because he made a fortune so that our mothers will be exposed. "

    Wang Shuxiu hung up the phone after she finished speaking, but Lu Lingxi was even more disturbed by the news. If the man Dong brother mentioned is really Lu Yishui, and the blackmailed car owner is really Yan Yue, then it is self-evident where the money Lu Yishui paid for his gambling debts came from. This might make Lu Lingxi unable to sit still, he quickly found Yan Yue's number from his mobile phone and called.

    When the phone rang, Yan Yue was waiting for Lu Lingxi to get off work not far from Micro Gardening. He never thought that after 27 years of living, he would one day realize that he had the potential to become a metamorphosis. For nearly a week, he wandered around this street every day, secretly watching the boy. After waiting for the boy to get off work, he sneaked behind the boy and escorted the boy home.

    He couldn't help but want to see the boy, and he couldn't help but want to appear by the boy's side. He would even be jealous of the stupid dog who followed the boy every day, imagining that one day he could take that stupid dog's place.

    The voice of the phone made Yan Yue a little irritable, who would call him at this time. He picked up the phone and was about to hang up, but was stunned when he saw the caller's name. After the initial disbelief, I was filled with unspeakable excitement and joy.

    "Hello." Yan Yue was afraid of being heard by the teenager, so he suppressed his emotions and pretended to be indifferent.

    "Hello, Mr. Yan, I'm Lu Lingxi." The boy's voice came from the phone, soft, with a restrained politeness.

    "What?"

    The voice on the other side paused for a few seconds, and then sounded tentatively, "Is it convenient for you to speak now? I have something to ask you."

    Yan Yue almost blurted out "convenient", but he quickly reacted, "I have something to do right now, so, are you in the store? I'll go to you after I'm done."

    "Yes, yes. Please." The boy said politely.

    Yan Yue shouted "No trouble" in his heart, but still said lightly: "It's all right."

    Hang up the phone, Yan Yue quickly realized what the boy wanted to ask him, mostly about Lu Yishui. In fact, he didn't want to hide this from the young man. After all, everyone loves to gossip, and it's only a matter of time before things like making trouble and suicide reach the ears of teenagers. As for the money he gave to Lu Yishui, there are many arguments. According to Lu Yishui's temperament, he will definitely not tell the truth.

    Yan Yue drove around the neighborhood a few times, and after seeing the time delay for half an hour, he appeared in front of Lu Lingxi as if he had just arrived.

    Before Yan Yuelai, Lu Lingxi had been thinking about this. Although he has no social experience, he can always see something when he thinks too much about one thing. He is now basically sure that the man is Lu Yishui, and Lu Yishui must have hit Yan Yue's car on purpose. Even he must have known beforehand that Yan Yue knew him before deliberately mentioning his name.

    Lu Lingxi felt a little guilty when she thought of Yan Yue. Because of his preconceived ideas, he had a very good impression of Yan Yue. From Yan Yue's treatment of Da Hei on a rainy night, it can be seen that Yan Yue has a good heart. Lu Yishui played the card of grief in front of Yan Yue again, and committed suicide. Why Yan Yue lent him this money can be said. Maybe the money was nothing to Yan Yue, but Lu Lingxi couldn't pretend he didn't know anything. After all, Lu Yishui approached Yan Yue in his name.

    Thinking of this, he glanced at the Chunlan that was treated in the morning with some distress. Lu Yishui defrauded Yan Yue of 400,000 yuan. This Chunlan plant will probably sell for 300,000 yuan in the future. If he wanted to compensate Yan Yue for his losses, he would still be short of 100,000 yuan.

    Lu Lingxi bit her lip, touched Da Hei's head unconsciously, and said in a low voice, "It seems that Da Hei's chicken legs are going to be gone."

    Da Hei's ears perked up, and he looked at Chunlan on the table in front of him vigilantly.

    When Yan Yue came in, he saw a man and a dog staring at an orchid on the table in a daze. Of course, Lu Lingxi was in a daze, while Da Hei was vigilantly guarding him.

    Seeing Yan Yue coming in, Lu Lingxi was embarrassed.

    "Mr. Yan, you are here."

    Yan Yue calmly walked a few steps in the direction of Lu Lingxi, and stopped at a position that would not offend the teenager but could be as close to the teenager as possible. Nod.

    Lu Lingxi rolled her eyes, greeted Yan Yue to sit down, and went to pour Yan Yue a glass of water.

    Yan Yue's eyes kept following the boy's movements, and when the boy finished looking at it, he immediately turned his head and put on the potted flower placed in the corner of the admiring wall. Speaking of which, this was Yan Yue's first time entering micro-gardening. Perhaps because of the youth, he was surprised that these flowers and plants looked quite interesting. The flower in front of YouQi opened strangely, like a bunch of mushrooms huddled together.

    Lu Lingxi put the water in front of Yan Yue, didn't beat around the bush but said directly: "Yesterday I...Did Dad trouble you?"

    The boy's directness was beyond Yan Yue's expectations, he nodded after a little thought.

    Lu Lingxi looked at Yan Yue seriously, and said, "Did he corrupt your money?" Before Yan Yue could answer, Lu Lingxi said embarrassedly, "I've heard what my mother said. , my dad paid off his gambling debts today, a total of 400,000 yuan. He corrupted the money from you, right?"

    Speaking of this, Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed, looked at Yan Yue nervously and said, "I will pay him back the money. But I don't have so much money now, can I write you an IOU first? "In order to prevent Yan Yue from not believing, Lu Lingxi carefully showed him the Chunlan on the table, "Grandpa Su said that this Chunlan can be sold for 300,000 yuan, you give me some time to wait for this Chunlan to grow up. , I will pay you back for the money I sold."

    As soon as Lu Lingxi moved the spring orchid, Da Hei immediately straightened his body, and his gaze followed Lu Lingxi to Yan Yue.

    Yan Yue didn't care about the stupid dog's reaction at all. In fact, he didn't even listen to what the boy said to him. He looked at the serious and anxious face of the young man, and his eyes fell on the young man's lips uncontrollably. The boy's lip shape is very good-looking, and the color is also a healthy pink. A crazy idea popped out of his mind, Yan Yue couldn't help but wonder, what would it be like to kiss him?

    "I know this is too much, but I really have no money now, can you wait?" Lu Lingxi explained embarrassedly.

    Yan Yue interrupted him, "No need to pay."

    Lu Lingxi: "…"

    Yan Yue forced himself to look away from Lu Lingxi's face, and said solemnly, "I hit your father, the money is compensation for him."

    "But..."

    "No need!" Yan Yue repeated.

    Lu Lingxi bit her lip and didn't speak. She just took out a blank piece of paper, wrote down an IOU of 400,000 yuan, and signed it and handed it to Yan Yue.

    Yan Yue didn't intend to take over, but when he met the boy's persistent eyes, he was helplessly defeated. He thought that it was just a piece of paper. As long as he didn't mention the repayment, this IOU would be a piece of waste paper. Coupled with the young man's character Shen Yun Chaoyi, Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi were listed side by side at the bottom, and Yan Yue was a little reluctant to throw it away.

    The moment he took the IOU, Yan Yue couldn't tell whether he touched the boy's finger on purpose or accidentally. The young man's fingers are very beautiful, white and slender, and the nails are ruddy and neatly trimmed, like the most perfect handicraft. He only felt that the boy's fingers were slightly cold, and the touch felt like a fine jade, moist and smooth. He watched the boy let go of his hand, feeling a little reluctant in his heart.

    It was not until Yan Yue accepted the IOU that Lu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. He repeatedly and earnestly assured: "I will definitely pay you back."

    Yan Yue nodded noncommittally. He realized that as long as he didn't speak, the teenager would take the initiative to speak to him. He likes to watch the young man intently watch him talk to him, and his eyes fall on the young man's lips unconsciously.

    Lu Lingxi didn't know these thoughts of Yan Yue. In his eyes, although Yan Yue looked a little cold, he actually had a good heart. This time Lu Yishui proved this. He touched Dahei's head and thought, Yan Yue is really a good person.
