In another small city hundreds of kilometers away from city A, someone also talked about pumpkins.
"I don't know if Pumpkin can recognize Xiaoxi..."
He Yunzhou glanced at the numerous cat photos in his mobile phone and sighed.
"If you are really worried, I can send someone to your house to take care of the cat..."
Li Fu said while driving the car.
The scenery that flies away from both sides of the car window is quite wonderful. The green shade of trees and the mountains shrouded in hazy mist all seem to emerge from the master's ink painting.
This small town is Li Fu's proposed tourist destination.
Of course, at the very beginning, Lifu took it for granted that all his targets were abroad, and those destinations even included Hokkaido.
He Yunzhou almost subconsciously refused.
—If he went to Hokkaido ahead of time with other people, Huo Zheng would probably be very unhappy.
The thought popped up for no reason.
Although he quickly regained consciousness, he and Huo Zheng had already quarreled and fell out, but He Yunzhou began to instinctively resist the proposal to go abroad.
At that time, Li Fu looked a little weird, but in the end he still respected He Yunzhou's decision.
So after some selection, the two of them appeared in this small town that didn't have much fame.
I have to say, Li Fu's choice turned out to be very good.
The small town is not a popular tourist city, so it retains the leisurely and peaceful atmosphere. With the beautiful scenery of the small town itself, even a worried person like He Yunzhou can relax a lot here.
Of course, the after-effects are that it was originally only planned for a very small short-distance routine. In order to avoid cat stress, He Yunzhou just added more water, cat food and litter box, and did not send pumpkins to foster care.
The scenery of the small town is so good now, and Li Fu discovered that there is even a rather luxurious resort opened near the scenic spots of this small town.
So the original ultra-short-distance trip turned into a few days and nights of real relaxation, and He Yunzhou could only temporarily call Xiaoxi to his home to take care of the pumpkin.
"When Xiaoxi came to my house to play, Pumpkin liked her quite a lot. Of course, it was several months ago, but I think Pumpkin still has a little impression of her," He Yunzhou tactfully said upon hearing Li Fu's proposal. Refused, "If it is a stranger, it is easy to trigger the cat's stress response."
The moment the words fell, He Yunzhou's eyes flashed with sadness.
It's fine if you don't mention the pumpkin, but once you mention the cat, your thoughts will return to Room A involuntarily.
In fact, another person is a more suitable candidate than Xiao Qi, and if it is him, Pumpkin will not be too nervous anyway.
Not to mention that the two of them have actually made sufficient preparations long ago, just to make the cat feel at home when traveling.
However, the person who was enthusiastically planning a trip to Hokkaido at that time may not be willing to continue that trip at all now.
"Did you know? The so-called relaxation trip is to go out to eat and shop, enjoy life, and never think about the boyfriend who broke up."
Li Fu rested his hands on the steering wheel, his eyes were clearly on the road all the time, but he seemed to be able to hear He Yunzhou's thoughts, and suddenly made a sound beside him.
He Yunzhou was startled, and reluctantly nodded.
"I know."
… It’s just that I can’t control it.
Dozens of minutes later, the luxurious holiday villa hotel hidden in a greenery appeared in the sight of the two of them.
Li Fu got off the car at the door, entrusted the car keys and luggage to the attentive hotel staff, then he pushed He Yunzhou, who was still in a daze, and took him to the hotel's small shuttle bus, just like that. To the most luxurious room in the resort hotel.
It is said to be a "room", but it should be said to be an independent hotel villa.
This villa is located next to a water pool in the hotel, surrounded by trees and flowers, and there is a small outdoor hot spring pool.
"It looks pretty good."
Li Fu walked into the villa and looked at the environment, then nodded perfunctorily.
"It's quite advanced."
It should be very happy to be able to relax in such a luxurious place.
However, He Yunzhou found that he couldn't concentrate on the environment of the hotel at all, and when he heard Li Fu's words, he could only dryly squeeze out a flat response.
Li Fu turned his head and glanced at him.
"Actually, I can ask someone to pick up the cat from your house, and you can stay here for a few more days."
He said.
After a pause, he suddenly showed a subtle smile.
"Actually, this hotel has my shares. As long as you want, you can stay as long as you want."
"No, no need."
He Yunzhou subconsciously refused.
Then, he watched Li Fu's smile become more weird and meaningful.
"Oh, that's it, then I won't force you."
…
He Yunzhou really felt that Li Fu would become a little strange sometimes.
Moreover, many of his thoughts seem to be completely hidden from Li Fu.
For example, when Li Fu talked about staying in the hotel for a longer period of time, the first image that popped up in He Yunzhou's mind was not pumpkin, but Huo Zheng.
If you really go back after a long time, will that person continue to live there
Just thinking about this made her feel more and more uneasy.
"Hoo..."
After everything was settled, He Yunzhou walked to the balcony involuntarily, his eyes fell on the green pool, and he sighed.
Just like what Li Fu said, after leaving City A, my thoughts seemed to become a little clearer—but not the kind of clarity that I am happy about.
Living upstairs and downstairs with Huo Zheng, it wasn't obvious when they were together every day, but after the quarrel and staying away from that person alone, I realized that I really liked him.
"Did you know that a long time ago a scientist did an experiment with dogs?"
There was a voice from beside him.
He didn't know when he also came to the balcony, just like He Yunzhou, resting his elbows on the railing.
"What?"
He Yunzhou was taken aback by such nonsensical words.
But Li Fu had already spoken on his own.
"Put the dog in a cage, then press the buzzer before opening the cage door, and then give the dog a painful electric shock... This kind of behavior is repeated to a certain number of times. As long as those dogs see the cage door being opened, they don't need it at all." After the beeping and electric shock, he would naturally fall to the ground and twitch and howl, in such pain that he could not leave the cage at all." Li Fu didn't look at He Yunzhou, he quietly stared at the lake in front of the villa.
"Learned helplessness." He Yunzhou said softly, "I know this."
Li Fu smiled.
"Do you remember? When the Legend of the Silver Fox failed so badly and I almost gave up writing, you used this example to comfort me."
"..."
"You said to me, 'Man is always a little smarter than a dog'."
He Yunzhou thought for a long time before he finally remembered that he seemed to have comforted the paranoid and proud Li Fu back then.
"The same thing, I will give it back to you today."
Li Fu said.
Then he stretched, then turned around neatly, and left the balcony.
Of course, he did not forget to remind He Yunzhou in the end: "The buffet in this hotel is very good, remember to eat it."
He Yunzhou stood there for a long time before he suddenly let go of his tense shoulders.
Of course he knew what Li Fu was talking about...
"Learned helplessness..."
A few unknown wild birds flitted across the sky, and burrowed into the bushes to make a soft and bright sound.
He Yunzhou has never really been loved by anyone.
He was the child who was abandoned since he was a child, the inconspicuous shadow that was ridiculed in the class, and the "troublemaker" who was completely exiled by his family because of a misunderstanding in college.
He thought that he had walked out of the shadow of the past, but in fact, the wounds of being abandoned, abandoned, and hurt still ached in the deepest part of his body.
So, it's like that dog that's been shackled and given constant electric shocks.
When someone really told him that you are fine, I love you, and I want to marry you—he was already immersed in the extreme pain of being abandoned.
"A Zheng..."
Then, it completely hurt that person's heart.
The heart that had only been aching for many days suddenly ushered in a tearing pain at this moment.
"I want to go back to City A."
He Yunzhou found Li Fu, and said.
The latter twitched the corner of his mouth and looked a little upset, but he didn't show any surprise.
"I knew it."
Li Fu muttered.
"But the buffet here is really good, you can finish your meal and go back."
He said.
After He Yunzhou proposed to return to City A, the heaviness accumulated in his chest disappeared. Facing Li Fu's final retention, he could already smile and shake his head frankly.
"I think I can probably taste the food before going back to City A." He Yunzhou said, "...I'm really sorry for causing you trouble, but now I just want to go back early."
"You should know that guy's reputation wasn't good before, right? And he also has a mother who should be locked up in a mental hospital, and a family with countless troubles."
Out of an inexplicable subtle mood, Li Fu suddenly spoke.
He obviously planned to bless He Yunzhou at first, but as soon as he saw He Yunzhou's face was reddish, his eyes sparkling and he was about to go back to see Huo Zheng, that particularly unpleasant feeling began to gurgle out.
Involuntarily, Li Fu opened his mouth and told all the things he knew about the Huo family over the years.
In short, at the last moment, his malice towards the Huo family was still exposed in front of He Yunzhou.
"...Although I am the one who persuades you to cheer up and face your sincerity, but from the perspective of a friend, I have to say that Huo Zheng is definitely not a suitable candidate for a same-sex couple."
Li Fu said.
However, in the face of those secrets that outsiders should not know, He Yunzhou's performance was beyond his expectations.
"I know."
He Yunzhou said in a low voice.
"But... I love him."
He Yunzhou's tone was very calm.
"This is also impossible."
Hearing He Yunzhou's words, Li Fu showed a toothache-like expression.
"That guy—"
When he opened his mouth and was about to poke secretly and say something bad, there was a loud noise outside the door.
"Cloud boat!"
Someone knocked hard on the door.
"Yun Zhou, open the door! It's me! I know you're inside—"
Huo Zheng's voice was so clear amidst the extraordinarily noisy dissuading voices from other people.
The author has something to say: Li Fu: ... Director, I always feel that the script I took at the beginning was not in this direction.
(serious)
