Chapter 38 Yesterday is not today

The hotel faces the downtown, but behind it is a separate garden with a cave sky. Next to the small lotus pond, it is surrounded by rockeries. The waterfalls pass through it, winding and flowing into the pool, repeatedly.

There are trees on the green grass, and the night is shrouded in fluorescence, flashing a dazzling green light. Two familiar figures under the green light, one leaning against the rockery, and the other facing the small pool with his backhand, not far away, but with a clear figure.

"Shu'an..." The evening wind in the summer night was originally a trace of dry heat. With his gentle and earnest call, Bai Shu'an actually felt like a different world.

Thinking of the night before yesterday, she was lying in the golden ** of Ziyun Apartment. She had prepared dozens of answers to reply to the reason why Aunt Man came to Yuncheng this time. Of course, it all came down to her greed and frankness.

But she never thought that Ruomin had come to Yuncheng and was looking for her lost figure every day.

Aunt Man's words were deeply branded in Bai Shu'an's heart. Even if she didn't have enough time to filter the pain caused by the unexpected glance, she magically had the courage to face him calmly.

At this time and here, he really stood in front of her, and his expression was gloomy and thin.

Bai Shu'an tried to show a beautiful smile on the corners of her lips and spoke to him naturally: "Aunt Man said that you have been looking for me these days."

"It's my fault. I shouldn't let you go out alone. You have never been far away before." Ruo Min's tone was still gentle, with a kind of silent care, which made her feel nostalgic and uncomfortable.

But she can only answer him with this kind of text, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. I've been doing well these days." But he didn't get a response from him for a long time.

The lotus pond flutters and dances, and then gathers in the center of the pool, forming a circle of shining flowers, and suddenly flying in the corner, dotted with large lotus leaves in the dark.

Bai Shu'an squatted down, stretched out her hands and picked up one of them from a nearby lotus leaf. Then she straightened up and stared at the palm of her hand. The bright and dark light made her face clear and bright...

Ruo Min slowly reached out her hand and gently brushed away a few rays of her long hair covering her temples. A small withered apricot leaf was ejected not far away and gradually fell...

His fingertips touched the corners of his eyes and slid reluctantly through her ear. A trace of coolness reached the tip of her heart. Bai Shu'an's body trembled violently, turned her head, and leaned back. Her whole body was tightly attached to the rockery, and the fireflies in the palm of her palm fell into the air. It suddenly woke up and flew away...

Ruo Min's hand froze in mid-air, slowly clenched into a fist, and hung down, and a seemingly gloomy flashed on her originally calm and soft face.

Bai Shu'an looked at his helpless and painful eyes, and there was inexplicable suffering in her heart.

Not long ago, she was still glad that she had a rare confidant in her life, her joy, someone to share, her sadness, someone to accompany her relief... But at this moment, she is very afraid, and loss and gain are just between a thought...

Just like now, everything seems to be calm, but in fact, we have been determined to know that we can never return to the old road...

Bai Shu'an raised her eyes tremblingly, and there seemed to be drops of water flowing in her deep eyes: "Brother Ruomin, you have always been my favorite brother... In the past, you took care of me as a sister because I was too persistent to see it clearly... But in the future, in my heart, your status will never change."

Du Ruomin stepped back two steps in a daze, pale and leaned weakly against the rockery, as if he would fall down with another touch.

After a long time, he looked at the white lotus swaying in the bright lotus pond and replied with a wry smile, "Of course, we have always been... the best brother and sister." He breathed a sigh of relief, " By the way, did Aunt Man tell you the latest situation of the theater?"

Ruomin suddenly changed the topic, and Bai Shu'an was also relieved. She nodded slightly, relaxed her originally stiff body, and faced the pond with him. "Well, I heard that it was the Luo's Group who wanted to play the theater."

"Now that Mr. Wang suddenly passed away, the hard-won power was torn apart again. Once the government's concerns about him are reduced, the end of the demolition of the theater is in front of us."

"Aunt Man, she won't let the other party do it so easily." Bai Shu'an remembered Aunt Man's resolute expression when she mentioned the name Luo Tianqi. She knew that Aunt Man must have another plan in her heart. "The problem now is that I want to help her and I don't know how to help her."

"You don't have to worry about this. Aunt Man knows it."

The wind brings bursts of fragrance through the lotus pond, and a peaceful atmosphere brews in the air, dissipating the previous tension.

In order to get back the feeling that they used to get along with each other, she deliberately said mischievously, "Why don't I tell you about the adventures these days?"

Before he could answer, Bai Shu'an said to herself the embarrassment and depression that had just arrived in Yuncheng, which attracted a burst of ridicule from Ruomin, which was an ugly thing that even Aunt Man did not dare to tell.

After forcing him to agree to keep the secret, she began to exaggerately praise the prosperous scenery of Yuncheng, including the bright neon night scene, the unique Jingjiang scenery, and the immortal buildings on both sides of Chaoyang Road, a commercial street, saying that she was really worthwhile.

Ruo Min listened to her story calmly, and a faint smile was always at the corner of her mouth. After listening to her nagging, she asked her faintly, "When did you meet this powerful friend? Not only did you save you from water and fire, but also took you to enjoy the scenery of Yuncheng and taste the beauty of Yuncheng in a few days. Does food make you happy?

She laughed dumbly and suddenly realized that she intended to hide Luo Hanfeng's identity, but after all, she still did not escape Ruomin's ears, so she had to prevaricate vaguely: "Oh, he met at the celebration of Aunt Yun's school. Didn't I tell you? Next time I introduce you to each other... By the way, we have been out for so long. Aunt Man, will you be in a hurry? Let's go back quickly.

Bai Shu'an jumped vertically, turned the rockery first, jumped to the cobblestone stone path, and quickly walked to the back door of the hotel. She seemed to be guilty and slipped away in a hurry.

Ruo Min's gentle footsteps came a long time later. Because the two were far away from each other, she could not hear his heavy sigh at all. Naturally, she could not see the sad expression in his eyes, let alone know that he had vaguely understood that another person had been installed in Bai Shu'an's heart.

*****

The next day, when the day was slightly bright, when Bai Shu'an opened her sleepy eyes alertly, she found that Aunt Man had put on her clothes and sat in the sofa chair. Gu Zi drank morning tea. She coiled up her long hair and tied it into a flower-like bun behind her ears. She wore a long silk green skirt. Although she was forty years old, she was still graceful.

Bai Shu'an turned over lazily and wanted to continue to sleep. Manyin sounded in a slightly hoarse voice: "Don't sleep. Today, I have to go to the theater to sort out Mr. Wang's relics. Wait a little later, Uncle Yunhe will come to pick us up."

Hearing this, Bai Shu'an seemed to be frightened. She sat up from **, stared her eyes wide, and asked her with an ignorant face, "Aunt Man, what are you going to do after Lao Wang's affairs are dealt with?"

Man Yin got up and came to the window. There were four corners of the sky between the high-rise buildings. The blue color was turdy, and the floating clouds were paved into a sea of flowers. The sunlight penetrated it, and the gold dots were broken. It was very beautiful.

She looked at the floating clouds of gold and silver for a long time before slowly saying, "I don't know. Let's go step by step!"

While the two were speechless, the sound of knocking on the door sounded. It turned out that Ruomin was ready to start and came to urge them to go together.

Bai Shu'an had to put on her clothes in a hurry and went out with Aunt Man.

As soon as the three of them walked to the door of the hotel, they saw a black high-end Mercedes-Benz roaring from south to north and stopped in front of them smoothly. Liu Yunhe came out of the window, greeted everyone, and invited them to go with him.

In less than half an hour, a group of four people arrived at the door of the Chunhua Theater.

That day, Bai Shu'an and Luo Hanfeng came here for the first time. After crossing the gate, they went straight to the stage on the first floor. They couldn't find half of the staff. Later, they were coaxed out by an old man who was cracking their teeth, but they chose to walk on the right after entering the door. Only by turning a side door could lead to the office on the third floor.

This time, they took the lead in coming to Mr. Wang's office before his death.

The furnishings in the room are not gorgeous. Old-fashioned mahogany chairs and sofas occupy half of the space. Behind a super-large desk, there is a whole wall bookshelf, and the bookshelf is full of classics that are eye-catching.

Auntie Mann sorted it out and looked through it at the same time. Seeing things and thinking about people, thinking of the teacher's face, I didn't feel tears.

Ruomin walked to Manyin and comforted in a low voice, "Aunt Man, Mr. Wang's painstaking efforts in this theater in his life. He would be very gratified to know that you maintain his theater in this way."

Aunt Man removed the tears from the corners of her eyes, put the important books into the cardboard box, and sighed deeply.

Because it was Bai Shu'an's first visit, Liu Yunhe boldly invited her to visit other parts of the theater. Although Bai Shu'an visited for the second time, in order not to lose Liu Yunhe's enthusiasm, he had to pretend to be unparalleled curiosity and let him tell the glorious history of the Grand Theatre in detail.

Liu Yunhe is thick-looking, but he is an informal person. When he takes her on a tour, he talks about nothing. Shu'an is sometimes laughed at by his witty words, and sometimes he is teased by his exaggerated body language. He turns around and feels very interesting to get along with him.

But she remembered the sad appearance of Aunt Mann in the office upstairs. When she finally finished the stage, she finally couldn't help asking a question that had been bored for a long time. She pretended to be ignorant and asked him, "I don't know if Uncle Liu knows what happened in this theater?"
