Synopsis

I've been living a good life, but I haven't loved this world that much. Text: Yan Song had only been around for a few years, and the people around him had come and gone. He had seen many people with broken families, separated sons, divorced wives, and cold human nature. Fortunately, I was able to maintain the faith in my heart until I met her." Yan Song said,"Lu Li, come to me." Lu Li nodded. Lu Li said," In the past few decades, I have been like a piece of driftwood, floating in the darkest places of human nature. I am used to seeing people's selfishness and greed, and I have heard enough of them defending themselves. I almost became like that. Fortunately, he came." The author said: Gengwen is very Buddhist, very slow

Chapter 1chapter one

If it weren't for the light spots that were exposed by the swaying white gauze curtains, the temperature in the room would almost make people think that it was late autumn.

The exposed ankle of the silkworm was fair and translucent. The person on the bed toot and pressed the third alarm, then turned around and sat up. As if she had thought of something, the person on the bed suddenly turned her head to look at the clock at the side and narrowed her eyes to see the time. Her consciousness had completely returned. She picked up her phone and there were 23 unread messages. You could probably imagine the other party's madness. Unfortunately, Lu Li didn't intend to reply. Since it was already too late, he might as well delay it completely.

She lifted the thin blanket and stepped on the gray fluffy carpet. After a while, she finally got up and walked inside. Through the loose white T-shirt, one could only see the woman's slender figure. Her exposed skin was soft and fair, and the hem of her clothes swayed with her steps.

The electric toothbrush was still working. Lu Li leaned lazily against the sink and stared into the mirror. 26 years old wasn't considered young by women, but his face was delicate and flawless. It was different from the fake internet celebrity face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Lu Li had a real mother's face.

The most beautiful thing about Lu Li was his starry eyes. In the words of his good friend, Lin Wei, no matter what she had done to make him angry, she would only look at him with her eyes and he wouldn't want to be angry with her. He couldn't be too innocent.

However, her eyes moved slightly. She wasn't thinking about anything good. Today was Lu Li's cousin's graduation ceremony. Knowing that she was busy with work, this kid had been pestering her for a month in advance. He had tried everything but didn't get a reply. In the end, it was Lin Wei who said," When you urged him to change his choice, you wanted to see what happened to him. If I didn't see him personally, I would have let you down." Lu Li nodded.

Lu Li had been a child for 26 years. His parents were both law-related workers, so they were very strict with their family education. Her older brothers and sisters also followed the arrangements of the older generation and did what the older generation had done.

She didn't have any objections to this. She didn't have a major that she was particularly interested in, and she didn't have a place that she particularly wanted to go. After the college entrance examination, she applied for Z University according to her parents 'wishes.

However, his graduation thesis was considered an excellent one among his peers. Lu Li was in a bad mood after being stuck twice by his uncle. He wanted to take revenge on his younger cousin, who was taking the college entrance exam in the same year. He was so happy that he wanted to go to the police academy. It was not that the police academy was not good, but it was a high-risk profession. Gu Yi's family did not have the chance to change her choice. Fortunately, Lu Li had asked a senior from the medical school to put on a cast and pretend that she had broken her leg. This caused both families to come to visit her.

Gu Yi was probably still editing her thesis in the hands of one of her relatives. No matter what, this little resistance was considered a success. When the notice came, his uncle's family had no choice but to give Gu Yi the cold shoulder for the entire summer vacation before they finally recognized him as a police academy student.

Therefore, in Gu Yi's heart, Lu Li was his benefactor. How could he miss the graduation ceremony? However, his benefactor only took her time to wash up when his graduation ceremony began, completely ignoring his bombardment of text messages.

The woman in the mirror was applying lipstick slowly. She was wearing a plain white T-shirt, black bell-bottom pants, and white shoes of unknown brand. She really had the words 'youth and vitality' on her head.

It was already past the morning rush hour. Her fair hand was tapping on the window as she walked through the bustling streets. She finally began to look for a parking space. However, it was quite late and the parking spaces at the school gate were already full. There was only one empty spot in a remote corner. It was probably because the Jeep was too big and blocked the view. Lu Li slowly walked over and found that there was still an empty spot. He parked the car and asked Gu Yi for the location of the auditorium, Only then did she get out of the car and look at the jeep next door that was even taller than her. She was not surprised. She liked it very much and liked it. When she was done with her mother, she would drive the whole jeep.

When Lu Li arrived at the auditorium, the old principal had already finished his speech. She sighed to herself. This kind of ceremony was long and complicated for her, and it was a waste of time. She usually avoided it if she could. She took a photo of the venue and sent it to Gu Yi as a form of check-in, so that the little ancestor would not continue to bombard her on WeChat. She looked up and saw that there was still a seat in the back corner of the auditorium, so she bent down and sat down to play with her phone.

" Captain Yan, just based on Old Chu's passionate speech, he doesn't look like he's terminally ill. I think he's most likely lying to you." The collar of the black hoodie was held by the man to cover his mouth. He turned sideways and whispered to the man on the left. The man beside him couldn't deny this, but when the words reached his mouth, he only said," Mm."

The young man in front spoke for about five to six minutes. Although the person beside him did not speak much and occasionally responded to her, she counted and found that the total did not exceed five words.

Lu Li leaned into the gap between the chairs and wanted to see how the person next to him was holding back from dealing with this noisy young man. However, the chair was too wide, and he could only see half of his face when he tilted his head. However, with just this incomplete look, Lu Li could tell that this man was very good-looking. He had handsome features, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes. The emotions hidden under his dark eyes were hard to tell. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and he wore a simple white T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up. The arm resting on the armrest was obviously someone who exercised frequently. Among the crowd, he was the type that was very recognizable.

She suddenly realized that she had been staring at a man who only showed his side profile for a long time. She quickly withdrew her gaze, afraid that she would be caught. If word got out that the famous Lu Lui was infatuated, it would not be nice.

Yan Song, who had been stared at for a long time, did not notice the gaze behind him. However, there were many people staring at him, so he did not care much. Yan Song had been tricked by the student who was plucking the tassel on the stage and smiling kindly at him. However, he remembered that he had not visited this teacher for a long time, so he followed his lame lie. If he had known that this graduation ceremony would be as boring as his year, he would have waited until the afternoon. Although he had a lot of holidays, he could not afford to waste them like this.

The ceremony on the stage was already halfway through. Fu Chengen, who was beside him, tilted his head and went to meet the Duke of Zhou. Yan Song casually opened WeChat and began to reply to the messages he had accumulated last week in batches.

By the time Gu Yi came down from the stage, Lu Li had already finished his work in the mailbox. He looked up and saw that Yan Song and Fu Chengen's chairs were long gone. He couldn't help but nod to confirm that he was so focused on his work that he didn't even notice when the other party stood up. Lu Li was never stingy with compliments and had thousands of ways to do so.

After stretching his neck and wrists, he got up and left the auditorium. According to the location sent by Gu Yi, he strolled along the tree-lined path in the campus.
