The plane landed smoothly. It was still hot in early autumn in Nanjiang City. Zhou Yao looked at Su Li with some concern. She had been absent-minded since she got on the plane.
"boss?"
"Are we there yet? Let's go." Su Li quickly came to his senses.
He found the old street based on the vague memories from his dream.
The old street has been renovated several times and is not quite the same as I remember, but if you look carefully you can still find a sense of déjà vu everywhere.
Zhou Yao watched Su Li's hand brush across the grass fence, as if she was lingering on something.
"Boss, were you from Nanjiang before?" Zhou Yao couldn't help but ask.
"Probably," Su Li said with a smile, not trying to hide the pleasure that was bursting out of every pore of his body.
It really feels like coming home.
He bought Zhou Yao a cup of milk tea at the corner, then slowly walked along the street until he reached the familiar yet unfamiliar shop.
It was covered in dust.
There was no noise, but the place was crowded with customers.
There is also no wooden plaque or wooden glass sliding door.
There are no lush flower beds or small blackboards with today's specials at the door.
There is no mother who always stands at the door with a smile on her face.
Su Li stared at this place for a while and felt that this dusty and decadent appearance was really inappropriate.
"Ayao, go check the owner of this house and ask him if he is willing to sell the house to me." Su Li said.
Although Zhou Yao was very surprised, he agreed and ran to the neighbor's house to ask for the family's contact information.
Not long after, he came back and said, "The owners of the house were an elderly couple, but they have passed away. Their children have settled abroad. I have already sent them an email."
"Well." Su Li stood at the door and looked at it for a long time. "Let's find a house to live in Nanjiang and then find a carpenter."
"Boss, how long are you going to stay in Nanjiang?" Zhou Yao was stunned. He originally thought that Su Li was just coming to take a look, but he didn't expect that Su Li would actually stay.
"I don't know, but I think he'll be here in the near future," Su Li said, "There are some things I want you to check for me, the sooner the better."
Zhou Yao was completely confused, but he didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only drive to do his job.
Su Li sat in the back seat and slowly closed her eyes.
He woke up feeling refreshed. He hadn't had such a good sleep in a long time.
Zhou Yao had already parked the car in the hotel parking lot and was waiting for him to wake up.
"Boss, are you awake?" Zhou Yao was sorting out the next work. After all, if Su Li stayed in Nanjiang City for a long time, a lot of work would need to be transferred over before it could proceed smoothly.
"I've ordered dinner at the hotel, shall we go up?"
"No, let's go to Wang's Restaurant." Su Li took out his cell phone and fiddled with it for a while.
Zhou Yao clicked on the navigation. Fortunately, the place was not too far and he arrived in less than half an hour.
There were a lot of people at Wang's Restaurant, and the receptionist at the door smiled politely and told them that they might have to wait a while.
Su Li had no objection and sat in the waiting area on the side.
As I was waiting, I saw a man with a rebellious look but a depressed look walking towards me slowly in flip-flops.
The receptionists whispered for a while, and one of them walked in. Not long after, an old man with a square face came out.
"Dad." The man still opened his mouth slowly.
"You still remember to come here?" The square-faced old man looked very angry with a stern face.
The man looked up at him and said, "I've bought the ticket. I'm leaving tonight. I won't be working at home anymore."
"Asshole! Where do you want to go?" The old man was very angry. "Have you forgotten how your grandfather died? You are still so stubborn. If you dare to leave today, you will never come back to this house again!"
The man's hand that wanted to support the old man stopped in mid-air, and then slowly fell down, "Brother Dawen and Brother Berlin are both good people, they will definitely take good care of you, Dad... Then I'll leave..."
The man left after he finished speaking, without noticing the tears that instantly fell from the old man behind him.
"Tsk tsk, the old man obviously can't bear to let his son go, but he still has to say angry words. The son is the same. He doesn't know how to say soft words at all." Zhou Yao frowned as he watched.
Su Li was in no mood to eat after reading all this. He stood up and said, "I'm going to go back first. You can eat by yourself. I'll reimburse you after you finish eating."
Zhou Yao was stunned for a moment, "Boss?"
Su Li waved her hand and said, "I'll walk by myself."
Zhou Yao did not chase him. Su Li looked very abnormal since she arrived in Nanjiang. No one knew what she was thinking. She was always smiling and frowning.
Zhou Yao and he were college classmates, so he didn't care too much and continued to wait for a table happily. He had just checked and everyone said that the food at Wang's Restaurant was very good.
I don't know where the boss found this restaurant.
Su Li walked quietly on the street, very quietly. He seemed to have a sense of security as if he had returned to the mother's womb, and everything relaxed.
Until he returned to the hotel, he was still in a soft and secure state.
"Su Li, let's talk." Li Qingqing was waiting at the door, and when she saw him she felt like she had seen a savior.
"I don't think there's anything to talk about," Su Li said, "I've said everything I need to say. I don't want to waste money, and I don't want to marry you."
"I've already compromised! What else do you want? Su Li! Don't go too far!" Li Qingqing felt extremely humiliated.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I said I hope I never see you again and I don't want to have any contact with you." Su Li said without any emotion.
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Su Li to say such a thing.
Su Li took out her cell phone and called the hotel front desk, asking the security guard to ask Li Qingqing to leave.
Li Qingqing didn't react until she left. How could the man who obviously loved her and indulged her change so suddenly
She just treats him as a brother and she doesn't love him. Is it wrong to reject Su Li
How could Su Li not help her? Su Liming obviously liked her very much...
But Su Li would not explain to her anymore.
The good mood of the day was ruined. Su Li opened a bottle of wine for herself, turned off the lights, and sat on the sofa looking at the stars in the sky.
Not long after, Su Li went to get the drawing tablet he brought from his luggage. He wanted to quickly draw what he still remembered, otherwise when he forgot, he would be really helpless.
Zhou Yaogang received a message from Su Li as soon as he returned to his room. "Nanjiang Maternal and Child Health Hospital, check if there was a person named Ding Sha who gave birth to a child there thirty-two years ago."
"Okay, boss." Although he was very curious about why the boss checked on other people's childbirth, the quality of a good secretary is not to say too much. After Zhou Yao replied, he prepared to wash up and rest.
Just as he lay down on the bed, Zhou Yao suddenly flipped out of bed again. Thirty-two years ago...
Is the boss checking his background
Zhou Yao's sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden.
The boss has been trying hard to find his parents. Could it be that there is finally a result
Zhou Yao couldn't help but get excited for him.
Su Li was slowly recalling the painting. He first made a few light strokes and sketched a beautiful woman.
It looks like Dingsha.
Looking at the sketch, I slowly started to paint.
The night was still long and he could keep painting.
