Chapter 84 Moving
Xiao Bu saw Lu Yao and rubbed against his leg.
Moaning and whimpering.
As if in a hurry.
Seeing this, Lu Yao picked it up in the elevator.
Xiaobu wagged his tail crazily and rubbed against his arms.
Hu Li seemed to be in a good mood, just looking at it with a smile.
While looking at it, his eyes fell on Lu Yao's face and suddenly asked:
"Stayed up very late last night?"
"Hmm... not bad."
"There are still red bloodshot eyes in your eyes. Are you sleepy?"
"Not sleepy."
"Nonsense~"
Hai Hou said coquettishly, but she didn’t ask him where he went last night, but said:
"When you go out with Xiaochen in the future, remember to be more restrained. Staying up late is very harmful to your health, you know? Especially in terms of cardiovascular disease. Only by having a healthy body can you enjoy life better."
Lu Yao is also familiar with her.
After hearing this, he smiled and said:
"Isn't drinking more harmful to your health?"
"Hmph, I don't have to drink. Can you promise me not to go out to play?"
"I can."
"Don't come here. You are just like a child~"
She started making a coquettish sound again:
"Anyway, you have to take care of your body, you know?"
"Yeah, I know."
"Hehe~"
Hai Hou smiled happily.
The elevator opens.
The two of them walked out.
In fact, Lu Yao has rarely been to the grounds of Fortune Garden.
His route was from the basement, directly accessible by the elevator, and he only glanced at the greening in the community through the window.
Xu Ruochu doesn't have the habit of walking. She is a very purposeful person.
Work is work, and when she's relaxing, she's either at the beauty salon or the gym.
But Hu Li is different.
In Lu Yao's eyes, she is actually more like an ordinary person.
If you can ignore the tip of the iceberg that this sister always shows inadvertently.
Arriving on the grass of the community, Xiao Bu started to have fun.
Hu Li started to warm up while walking along the winding sidewalk.
"Want to run?"
"If you don't run, you stayed up late, why are you running?...I've said that you should pay attention to cardiovascular matters."
"Then..."
Seeing Lu Yao staring at her, she reached up... Lu Yao might not be able to touch her lower back in this life, and said:
"Stretch it out and move around."
"..."
Unconsciously, Lu Yao glanced at her loose sweatpants.
To be honest, after knowing her for so long, he had never seen Hu Li wear any clothes that were very close-fitting or revealing.
Inexplicably, I remembered Mr. Xu's words, "Sister Li is a very traditional person."
But...
Even if it wasn't exposed, he could guess just from the inadvertent exposure of these clothes... Under these loose clothes, he had a pretty good figure.
"..."
He averted his eyes.
It seemed that the throbbing that Ella had caused him last night still existed.
But fortunately, Xiaobu is carefree.
At this time, it is better to look after dogs than people.
"Let's go."
"Uh...oh, okay."
Lu Yao quickly followed.
In short, this sister twists her waist every three steps and presses her legs every five steps...
The posture is incredibly stretched.
At this time, a burst of singing sounded.
"South of Colorful Clouds..."
Lu Yao heard the singing, looked along, and saw about a dozen old aunts dancing and doing morning exercises.
"Huh?"
Hu Li's eyes lit up:
"Let's go."
As he said that, he strode towards that direction.
Lu Yao whistled, and Xiao Bu, who was having fun on the grass, heard the noise and followed him directly.
The two of them walked around a small flower bed, and Hu Li stopped.
It's still ten or twenty meters away from the small square.
She suddenly made a... very soft dance move and started dancing to the song.
Unlike those old aunts who have stiff limbs, an expert will know if it is there as soon as they take action...
That kind of beauty... comes directly to my face.
Especially in this bright morning light.
Her body seemed to be coated with a layer of colorful light.
After that Guozhuang dance, she once again showed her graceful dancing posture.
But it's different from Guozhuang's charm.
That kind of thing, the more people there are, the better it looks.
But this time, she was dancing solo.
Like a beautiful peacock, it walks elegantly and lightly, using body language to show off its beauty.
"South of Colorful Clouds..."
The music doesn't stop, she doesn't stop.
It seemed like there was only her and music in the huge world.
And... two stunned spectators, one man and one dog.
From the body, to the expression, to that indescribable temperament...
Just keep dancing, keep dancing.
At the end of the dance, the music ends.
Full of comfort, she turned her head and saw Lu Yao's stunned look.
So, the Peacock Queen smiled charmingly:
"Hehe, does it look good?"
Lu Yao nodded subconsciously.
With some regret, I expressed my sincere emotion:
"It's so beautiful..."
Hu Li's smile became even brighter.
Because she heard the sincerity in this sentence.
But...
Not satisfied.
Instead, he tilted his head and continued to ask:
"How beautiful is it?"
"Well..."
After Lu Yao thought for a while, he said:
"Just...I don't know if my description is appropriate, but the moment you danced, I suddenly understood...why the ancient emperors didn't go to court earlier."
"...What kind of description is this?"
Hu Li couldn't laugh or cry.
"I'm talking like Daji."
"That's not what I mean. Just let's watch TV. When the emperors were having fun, weren't there a group of palace maids dancing? At that time, I didn't realize how beautiful these dances were... but now I can feel it."
"In other words, if I give you a glass of wine now, can you keep drinking it while watching me dance?"
"Yeah!"
"You are so beautiful!"
Her charm turned into anger and drifted into the morning breeze.
"Then I will die from exhaustion?"
"Come here, enjoy Bai Ling!"
"Hehehe, thank you Lord for your kindness~ No, why is it Bai Ling?"
"Haha~"
"Okay, what a vicious emperor! I'll strangle you to death!"
"Hahahaha..."
"Woof~"
Seeing the two of them running away inexplicably, Xiao Bu quickly chased after them.
……
The sweat in the morning completely awakened Lu Yao's body.
After the two returned to Xu Ruochu's home, talking and laughing, Hu Li went to take a shower.
Then, Xu Ruochu woke up.
"Sister Chu, is it so early?"
Lu Yao was a little surprised.
Xu Ruochu nodded sleepily:
"Morning. What do you want to eat in the morning?"
"My mother made vegetable porridge."
"Hmm...ha~~~Hmm."
The female CEO sat on the dining chair and yawned lazily.
Hu Li also walked out of the room with her hair wrapped.
After she said hello lazily, she continued to ask Lu Yao:
"Where did you go to play last night?"
"Going to sing."
"Oh. Who are they?"
"Just a few of his classmates."
"Oh."
She didn't ask much.
Lu Yao felt at ease.
……
It turns out that Hai Hou is a pig teammate.
Not only was he lazy, but he also dragged the female CEO into trouble.
The famous saying is: I haven’t rested since I came back from my self-driving trip. Today I strongly urge to stay at home for a day.
Therefore, the female CEO who really couldn't resist her had to compromise.
But Lu Yao is not easy either.
After breakfast, everyone went to Haihou's home together.
I have to admit, as long as the money is in place, the glass will be broken.
Hai Hou's home has been decorated.
Floor tiles, painted walls, even cabinets are done.
There is only one thing left to do with this home now, and that is to buy furniture.
Lu Yao's bare feet stepped on the wooden floor that was supposed to be the master bedroom but turned into a dance studio. He couldn't help but look at the window.
He thought to himself... If he were her neighbor across the street, he would definitely use the telescope to look at it at regular times and at fixed points every day.
After all, that half of "Colorful Clouds South"... is really amazing.
At this time, the queen outside called him:
"Lu Yao, let's go move?"
"...Huh?"
Lu Yao was stunned, glanced at Xu Ruochu who was helpless, and asked subconsciously:
"Didn't you say rest?"
"Resting should not delay work, and work should not delay laziness! This is life."
The female president rolled her eyes even more. So, he nodded:
"Then should I find a moving company?"
"Well, don't you know my home address?"
"Know."
Lu Yao nodded and took out his mobile phone.
……
Moving is quite a troublesome thing. Even before Haihou arrived at the old community, the people from the moving company couldn't even enter the community.
But all this came naturally with her arrival.
Her face is the access card.
After the person from the security office said something, the moving company's car drove in along with the X6.
And Xu Ruochu also had a look of sadness on his face.
It’s really… I haven’t been here for many years.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She couldn't help but look at Hu Li.
Unfortunately, Hai Qiu was very calm in the passenger seat.
Get out of the car calmly and open the door calmly.
The moving company looked at the old furniture inside and looked surprised.
They usually travel through various communities in Shanghai. When the owners move, whether the community is expensive or cheap is actually one of the basis for them to decide what to buy.
Fortune Seaview Garden is not cheap.
And this community is even more legendary... a cadre community.
Originally they thought they would move a lot of expensive furniture, but after entering the house, they found... everything was very old.
The old ones are like... not of this era.
At this time, Lu Yao spoke:
"Master Zhang, these furniture are a bit old, and the structure may be loose. If you ask for a price, I won't pay it back, but just ask for it, let's do the job well. Every piece of furniture here is... I, I am very important Memories, we must be careful and careful, okay?”
The head mover nodded.
The look in Lu Yao's eyes also had an expression that was almost "respectful":
"I understand, don't worry, we must be careful...are we moving everything?"
"Yeah. Be careful."
"Don't worry, Boss Lu, we know."
As he said that, he took a few decoration workers and began to evaluate what should be moved first and how to lay it out in the car.
Xu Ruochu turned to look at Hu Li, thought for a moment, and asked:
"If we need to clean it up ourselves, do we want to get it over there?"
"Well... let's look around."
Compared to last time, Hu Li's mood seemed much more stable.
Just staring at the workers who started to move the sofa, looking at their cautious manner, there was a hint of reassurance in their eyes.
After thinking for a while, she said:
"Lu Yao is watching here. Let's go check and see if there are anything else."
"Yeah."
Xu Ruochu accompanied her to the bedroom.
Her little bedroom has been emptied.
After Xu Ruochu walked in, she couldn't help but sigh.
"...What are you sighing for?"
"I remember when I was a kid."
The female CEO put her hand on the study table.
This study table is still the old school style, with a wooden structure and stickers of beautiful girls on it.
It has faded beyond recognition.
"Sister, do you still remember this sticker?"
"...Ha, we posted it together."
"Yeah."
"At that time, every time you came to my house to play, someone from your family would come to see you off. And every time I saw Uncle Xu, he would complain to me: Your home is too far away. My daughter runs to your place every day. Okay? Little fox, can uncle give you a new home...I was wondering about a new home at first, but he asked my dad..."
Speaking of this, the smile on her face froze.
Becoming a bit far-fetched:
"Ask him to adopt me into your home. I remember when my dad agreed, I cried so sadly..."
"Ha~"
Xu Ruochu couldn't help but smile:
"A nasty joke for adults."
"No, I really thought my parents didn't want me anymore."
"I was quite happy at the time, thinking that we could be together every day."
"Of course you are happy, but I was frightened. I hugged my dad's legs and cried loudly. My dad was also shocked..."
"Ha..."
For some reason, the more the two of them talked and laughed, the quieter their voices became.
Those traces of childhood memories spread, seeming to reveal the scars that were already so obvious.
But this time... Hu Li took the initiative to stop it.
"...Hey, by the way, what happened to your clothes you said yesterday?"
"Well... Lu Yao has an aunt who is a bit germaphobic, so I gave her all the clothes to wash. They were very clean."
"A person with mysophobia opens a dry cleaning shop... very happy."
She said and sat up from the bed:
"Let's go and see if there are any clothes in my parents' house that need maintenance."
"Okay."
……
Although Hu Li's home is large, it actually doesn't have much furniture.
In addition, there were more movers this time, a total of six people, so they were all emptied quickly.
When they moved to the only TV cabinet left, Lu Yao walked to the back room and saw that Hu Li was not in the small bedroom. Instead, the door of the big bedroom was open, so he walked to the door.
Knocking on the door, she saw Xu Ruochu and her sitting by the bed, folding clothes one by one.
"Sister Li, the living room is almost done, it's time to move these... do you still need the bed?"
"Yes, my bed is fine. The mattress may need to be replaced, but we'll see about it then."
Hu Li nodded and said:
"These are my mother's clothes from before. See if they can be dry cleaned and maintained."
"Okay."
He walked in.
Subconsciously observing the furnishings of the room.
Frankly speaking, it's just an ordinary bedroom.
But he saw traces of a large picture frame on the wall at the head of the bed.
The picture frame is gone, but the surrounding outline remains.
He said nothing, walked to the bed covered with a white dust cover, and looked at these clothes...
To be honest, they are actually very old styles.
But... when he opened the lining of a piece of clothing, he saw a sign: Pierre Cardin
Pierre Cardin.
"...I'll take it back and let Aunt Li check it all... Do these need dry cleaning?"
"Well, let's dry clean them once and then maintain them. I see there are a lot of clothes in Xiaochu's room that are covered with dust bags?"
"Okay, I'll put them on."
"Then..."
Hu Li thought for a while, then suddenly walked to the closet and came out with a suit bag.
"This suit... belongs to my dad. My dad wore it when he and my mom got married..."
Her voice gradually became deeper:
"When my father left, all his clothes were burned. But my mother insisted on keeping this set... But she didn't dare to take it with her when she went abroad. Maybe she was afraid that she would miss the person after seeing the things."
< br>
Her smile gradually turned pale.
Xu Ruochu had already pursed her lips.
But this time, she didn't cry. She just looked at Lu Yao with red eyes and handed over the suit bag.
Lu Yao nodded:
"I will ask Aunt Li to be very careful."
"...Hmm."
She rubbed her eyes and forced a smile:
"Okay, that's all, let the masters move quickly."
……
In one morning, her house was moved.
All that was left was the empty house.
And all Hu Li's emotions seemed to burst out at this moment.
At this moment... there is no one in her home.
Lu Yao and Xu Ruochu had already left with those clothes just now.
As the owner's representative, Lu Yao is going to Fortune Garden to go through the moving procedures.
Been gone for a long time.
She herself watched helplessly as her home was completely emptied, even if they had gone to a new home... But for her, the moment even the furniture was removed from this home, the concept of "home" was gone. It collapsed in this empty room.
From now on, there is no need to come back.
Also...I can never go back.
Thinking of this, she collapsed.
He let out a muffled cry like a kitten.
He squatted on the ground and buried his face in his arms.
It's like crying secretly countless times as a child.
Trying hard not to make any sound.
Trying hard to pretend to be strong to my mother.
Try your best not to let anyone discover your sadness and sorrow.
she cried.
But he tried equally hard not to make any sound.
But no one knew what this now empty house meant to her.
The faint laughter ringing in her ears, and the sweet pas de deux between the two... To her who was ignorant, she just thought it was beautiful.
But this beauty only shows its most ferocious and cruel look when only one person is left to dance the pas de deux.
Like a knife.
For more than ten years, every time I think of it, it is still sharp.
It hurts.
It really hurts.
But he didn't dare to speak out.
I used to be afraid that my mother would be sad.
But now...it has become instinct.
The more it hurts, the more sad it is.
The sadder it is, the more it hurts.
So much so now that I can't tell whether this pain is an unforgettable memory or the pleasure and remaining warmth that is hard to part with in the passing of time.
But at this moment...
She heard soft footsteps ringing in her ears.
Subconsciously raised his head.
I saw a pair of concerned eyes.
And... a warm embrace.
Lu Yao hugged her gently.
During her astonishment, his gentle words rang in her ears:
"Sister Xiaoli, stop crying."
"Be good."
"Stop crying."
"..."
So Hu Li stopped crying.
Just in his arms, eyes closed.
Let the tears flow freely down his neck and into his chest.
Lu Yao hugged her.
She hugged him tightly as well.
