It was already dark, and dark brown clouds were spread around the waning moon like fish scales.
The lights of vehicles passing by on the street are chaotic, and office workers are rushing home to end a hard day's work.
At the end of the street, after the three figures completely disappeared from Lai Yang's sight, he turned his gaze to Li Dian and Xu Mo.
They were also holding supermarket shopping bags containing various daily necessities such as shampoo, slippers, toothbrushes, etc.
Lai Yang took a few glances and suddenly felt even more empty in his heart.
He also wanted to live an ordinary and simple life, go shopping in the supermarket with his beloved woman when it gets dark, and then carry these things and walk slowly home under the soft light of the street lamps.
This is a very ordinary thing, but it makes Lai Yang feel particularly unrealistic.
Because the woman he likes is quiet, once he gets close to her, he will be plotted against by someone, and it is impossible to guard against him.
After standing for a while, Lai Yang asked Li Dian and Xu Mo to take the students to visit the theater first, while he sat alone on a bench on the street at the door and smoked a cigarette to relax.
After they all went in, Yuan Sheng sat down next to Lai Yang in a sullen manner, looking lost.
"Do you want me to explain this to Jingjing? I was the one who suggested renting the venue. I didn't expect this to happen."
After taking a puff of cigarette, Lai Yang slowly shook his head: "This has nothing to do with you. I think it was Yu Bo's doing. If he wanted to, he would have asked Li Dian and the others to rent it even if he didn't go through you."
Yuan Shengda was stunned for a few seconds, then he immediately took out his phone: "I'll call that woman and ask them to move out! I'll pay the penalty for breach of contract!"
Before Lai Yang could react, she had already dialed the number, and the short-haired woman's voice sounded again.
"Hello, Miss Yuan."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao. I can't rent this place anymore. Can you please find another place?"
Lai Yang's mouth corners slightly opened. Yuan Shengda is really naive. The person on the other end continued to speak.
"I have already discussed this matter with your person in charge. I will not leave here before the contract expires!"
"You have to leave. I won't rent it anymore. I'll pay you the penalty!"
"I'm sorry, I don't need that little money. If you have nothing else to say, I'll hang up first."
Yuan Sheng was very anxious, holding the phone and shouting: "I said I won't rent it, I've changed the locks, if you want money, come to me, but if you want the key, forget it!"
"… I suggest you don't do this. I will bring my friends over the day after tomorrow. If the locks are changed, you can wait for the court summons. Also, don't even think about opening the door in the next few months."
beep
Beep~
After the call was hung up, Yuan Sheng's cheeks puffed up and he cursed a few times while clutching the phone.
After cursing for a while, she pulled Lai Yang up again: "Come on, let's go change the locks and return the court summons now, who are you trying to scare?"
"Stop, stop, stop. Sit down first."
Lai Yang pressed her down and sighed heavily: "Don't be so excited, they are well prepared. The louder you make, the harder it will be to deal with it."
Yuan Sheng slapped his head angrily and muttered.
"Oh, it's all my fault. Why do I have to do so much? Why do I ask you to rent out the venue? I... I..."
"Loud, loud!"
Lai Yang grabbed her wrist tightly and shouted, "It's not your fault. I know you are doing this for the good of the theater. Stop blaming yourself, okay?"
There was a slight breeze at this time, which seemed to reduce the noise for both of them. Lai Yang gradually let go of Yuan Sheng's big arm, breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"Let's not talk about this anymore... By the way, what's going on between you and Aru? I heard that you called off the engagement?"
Lai Yang had been keeping this matter to himself, mainly because he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to talk about it and he was afraid that Yuan Shengda would be sad.
But after these few days, Lai Yang thought she would be calmer, so he asked.
Yuan Shengda reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind his ear, looking at the zebra crossing on the asphalt road, and exhaled, "I haven't decided yet."
"Then how do you feel about him? Do you like him?"
Lai Yang put out the cigarette and waited for Yuan Shengda's reply.
But at this moment, Li Rouhe called. Yuan Shengda glanced at the notes, stood up and patted Lai Yang on the shoulder: "Take care of your business first."
After saying that, she returned to the theater.
The cell phone kept ringing. Lai Yang had just relaxed when his heart began to tighten again. After licking his dry lips, he answered the phone.
"Hello, Xiaohe?"
"Boss Tian is leaving soon."
"Where are you going?"
"… Why do you seem so out of sorts today? You must be going home from get off work, but he asked Mr. Yu to leave ten minutes ago."
Lai Yang scratched his head and asked in confusion: "So? Why are you telling me this?"
There was a sigh from the other end.
"Can't you see what's on Boss Tian's mind? Or is there something wrong with how I expressed it? She just returned to Shanghai today, and after returning, she took some time to visit the theater. She just happened to run into Boss Yu, so they came together... But just now, he refused Boss Yu's offer to take him home, so... what do you think
What is she expecting?"
"Looking forward to going back alone in peace?"
“…Okay, good night then.”
"Hey hey hey! Wait a minute!"
Lai Yang swallowed and looked towards the entrance of Yunbin Building. Bright light shone through the huge glass revolving door, flickering and confusing people.
"You mean I should wait for her downstairs?"
"Otherwise, you'll have a better chance to explain what happened this afternoon. Listen to me and go buy a bunch of flowers and wait."
Lai Yang groaned, his palms sweating: "Buy flowers? Isn't this too straightforward?"
"Then what else can you give her? Laiyang, compared to President Yu, it seems that you only have a more passionate heart, but if you can't even make use of this advantage, how can you make President Tian like you?"
“Uh… I went to buy flowers.”
After hanging up the phone, Lai Yang ran quickly towards the street. Fortunately, there was a flower shop on the corner of the street. As soon as he went in, he fell in love with a bunch of white roses.
When Lai Yang was paying the bill, his fingers were shaking. When the boss saw his expression, he smiled and said that he must not shake like that when he sends the girl away later and should stay calm.
Lai Yang held the flower and snorted: "I am shaking... am I shaking?"
The boss was stunned, lit the cigarette in his mouth and said: "No, are you born with a stutter?"
"… "
In less than ten minutes, Lai Yang was already standing at the entrance of Yunbin Building holding a rose. The warm breeze brought a little heat, and when it blew gently, bursts of floral fragrance lingered around his nose.
Lai Yang felt a great sense of comfort in his heart, and he suddenly felt that he should have done this a long time ago.
He should have expressed his love for her openly, just like Aru.
Li Rouhe was right. Compared with Yu Bo, she had a more pure and passionate heart, and she must maximize this advantage.
After waiting for a while, Lai Yang freed his other hand to send a message to Li Rouhe, but at this moment, a car light flashed in his eyes at the intersection.
Lai Yang took a look and saw a two-tone Bentley slowly driving towards him.
Because it was a top luxury car, Lai Yang took a few more glances at it.
But as the car got closer, the driver's window actually lowered, and then Sister Wei's jewel-covered face emerged, with a surprised expression.
"Laiyang?! Are you... waiting for me?"
"I… "
