Streets

Sitting opposite was Su Mo.

Outside the light-colored shirt was a dark trench coat, which was different from the suits that he had seen before. The hair was not as meticulously taken care of as usual, but hung on the forehead a little messily, less rigorous, but not less sharp, the focus of the eyes was as always.

Lu Yan laughed a little.

Why did this person always appear when he was about to forget about him, and the timing was so right that it made Lu Yan wonder if the other party had put a timer in his heart?

Lu Yan looked at Su Mo, who was still expressionless, with a half-smile, “So does Director Su also have business in Barcelona?”

Su Mo shook his head lightly, “Although the Su family has developed quite well, their hands and feet have not stretched so far. I am not here for official business.”

It was not a business, then it was a personal affair.

Lu Yan snorted in his heart, this person’s way of speaking was still so direct and so subtle.

Lu Yan changed the subject, “How did Director Su know I’m here?”

Lu Yan was indeed a little curious. He didn’t tell anyone about his itinerary today, because even he himself didn’t know where he was going.

Su Mo still shook his head, “I didn’t know.”

Lu Yan was a little surprised.

Su Mo continued, “Your phone is turned off, I called Song Hui, and he doesn’t know where you are.”

Lu Yan took out his mobile phone and saw that it was powered off. “Sorry, I probably forgot to charge it last night.”

“It’s okay,” Su Mo smiled lightly, “You didn’t know I would come to you.”

“So, how did director Su find this place?” Lu Yan was still curious.

“I didn’t know where you were, so I had to walk around, hoping to meet you somewhere. Sure enough, I met you.” Su Mo said and smiled again.

Lu Yan also wanted to laugh. If it were written by an emotional writer, he would probably give such a coincidence a beautiful name, called Fate!

“In another three hours, the return plane will take off. If I still couldn’t find you, I can only leave. Fortunately” Su Mo sighed, watching his eyes become more focused, and slowly spit out the rest “I didn’t miss you.”

“Didn’t you just arrive?” Lu Yan asked subconsciously.

Su Mo should had come to find him as soon as he arrived in Barcelona, Lu Yan still had this confidence.

Su Mo said lightly, “During this time, the company has a few big cases, and it’s quite busy. I only set aside one day.”

Lu Yan opened his mouth, but was speechless

He wanted to say why he had to go back and forth like this since he only had one day. Barcelona was not close to the country, even by plane, it was not a short journey.

However, he couldn’t say it, because he clearly understood why Su Mo did this. This affection, he may not accept it, but he was not qualified to trample on it, and he was unwilling to trample on it.

There was silence for a while.

“Lu Yan” Su Mo was the first to break the silence. This was the first time Lu Yan heard Su Mo call him by his name. Before, he used to call him Mr. Lu politely, he couldn’t help but stiffen his back. Su Mo’s expression was serious, “I’m not a person who gives up easily. I’ll wait for you, for the day you change your mind.”

These words were still subtle, but Lu Yan couldn’t understand. He suddenly couldn’t bear it “What if I don’t changed my mind?”

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, with a dashing and upright look, “That’s my business.”

“No…” Lu Yan pondered, considering his words, “Isn’t it too risky?”

Su Mo smiled, “Every time we make a project, we will pre-estimate the worst outcome. But we will never stop doing it just because the outcome of this assumption. Life is an adventure.”

Lu Yan was a little stunned. He didn’t know what to say, so he spread his hands, “I don’t know if I should say good luck.”

Su Mo lowered his eyes, “If it’s not sincere, then don’t say it. If every blessing that is intentional or unintentional can be realized, there wouldn’t be so much helplessness.”

A gust of wind blew through, which was rare on a slightly hot afternoon. Lu Yan looked up at the rustling leaves on the side of the road. He felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He didn’t know how to describe it. What was certain was that it was not helpless.

Lu Yan turned to look at Su Mo, who was no longer speaking, and suddenly said, “Have you eaten yet?”

The tone without a title was slightly intimate, Su Mo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, “Not yet.”

Lu Yan smiled, “Thank you, Director Su, for inviting me to drink good coffee last time. It’s a courtesy, let me invite Director Su for lunch today.”

The corner of Su Mo’s mouth slightly raised, “It’s better to obey than to be polite.”

Su Mo didn’t like it very much, and he wasn’t very accustomed to foreign cooking methods, but today’s lunch with a strong Spanish flavor made him feel extraordinarily delicious. He remembered what his mother said, food was actually related to mood.

The two slowly enjoyed their lunch. Lu Yan didn’t like to talk too much while eating, and Su Mo’s dining etiquette was impeccable, so after a meal, there wasn’t much conversation. But Lu Yan didn’t feel embarrassed or restrained at all. On the contrary, he quite enjoyed the atmosphere.

If those other feelings were removed, Su Mo was really a person worthy of deep friendship. Of course, the premise was that he was willing to have deep friendship with you.

They were not very close to the airport, and it took more than an hour to drive. So, after lunch, the two sat down for a while, and it was time for Su Mo to set off.

Lu Yan called a taxi for him, put him on the cab, and closed the door for him thoughtfully. During this period, Su Mo didn’t say much, and seemed to enjoy Lu Yan’s service as a matter of course. He nodded slightly and said thank you before closing the door.

Lu Yan watched the taxi leave until he couldn’t even see the shadow of the car, then turned around and walked slowly along the street.

Su Mo came in a hurry, and left in a hurry. In just over an hour, a few words were like a breeze passing over Lu Yan’s heart, wrinkling a pool of spring water, and he could not calm down for a long time.

It was really that Su Mo’s approach was too clever.

In fact, Lu Yan was a person who did not eat hard and soft. However, Su Mo didn’t rely on his identity to force him with tough means, nor did he lower his body and begged him softly. It could be said that no matter what it was, it would only make Lu Yan disgusted.

But Su Mo just expressed his feelings directly, and then handed over the decision to Lu Yan. However, he was not passively waiting. If this was likened to a battle, each of his strikes was just right, neither excessive nor powerless, indifferent and direct, and walked away with one blow. Before Lu Yan could deal with it seriously, he had already left.

Or this was actually Su Mo’s nature. Even if he was in love, he still had his own pride and self-sufficiency, as well as calmness and action. For Lu Yan, he not only admired, but also respected him.

Lu Yan was not a hard-hearted man, so naturally he couldn’t be completely indifferent to such Su Mo.

However, Lu Yan had his own concerns.

In the two rebirths, Lu Yan never talked about feelings. With his conditions, there were naturally many admirers. If he had never been in love, he had not met his heart, and he was unwilling.

Lu Yan was from a single-parent family, and he was ridiculed by his friends as a wild child without a father. To make matters worse, his only relative, his mother’s mental state was still a little abnormal, so he was scolded as a madman’s son again.

However, Lu Yan knew that his mother was not born abnormal, but for the person who abandoned her, that is, Lu Yan’s own father, driving her crazy. Love is a sharp blade, when you fall in love with someone, it is equivalent to handing over the sharp blade that can hurt yourself into the hands of the other person. If the love is not human, it is simply a disaster.

Some people could experience many times of love in their life, going around to find the one that suits them in the end; while some people could only experience love once in their life, and the ending was either happy or being destroyed. Lu Yan’s mother belonged to the latter.

In the process of taking care of his mother, Lu Yan looked at his mother’s madness from time to time. He was sad and angry at the same time. Even when his mother died in a car accident in the end, Lu Yan was calm in his heart, he felt that for his mother, perhaps this was relief.

However, Lu Yan knew that in his bones, he had the same madness as his mother. If he didn’t love, it was enough. If he loved, he would go all out. He didn’t believe in people, he didn’t want to destroy himself, so he chose not to love. If he didn’t love, he would not get hurt.

Lu Yan was not cowardly, but disdainful. For him, love was not a necessity, but career was.

So, for Su Mo, although Lu Yan was moved, he was only moved.

It was not until the lights in the city began to brighten that Lu Yan returned to the hotel.

Song Hui was sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby. As soon as he saw him, he greeted him. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Song Hui said straight to the point, “Brother Lu, Director Su called you this morning, but your phone was turned off, and I don’t know where you went…”

Lu Yan raised his hand to stop him, “I see. I forgot to charge my phone last night. I have already met Director Su.”

Song Hui’s face was full of surprise. He suddenly received a call from Su Mo looking for Lu Yan and thought it was something important.

Song Hui was a little tangled. He didn’t know if he should ask where director Su was now, if he needed to arrange a hotel or something. It’s just that since Lu Yan didn’t mention it, he didn’t ask much, so he had to say another thing, “Brother Lu, the day after tomorrow is the launch of M’s new product in City S. Brother Feng called in the morning, and he meant for us to go directly to city S, I couldn’t find you at that time, so I booked a flight to City S tomorrow morning. Do you have anything else to arrange?”

As soon as Lu Yan heard the work, he was refreshed, and his emotions that had been fluctuating because of Su Mo throughout the afternoon quickly stabilized. He nodded, “Okay, I see, you have done a good job, and the other things will wait for us to come back from S City to talk about it. I have already taken leave with Director Guan before, so there is no problem. You should also go back to rest early; you will be busy in S City tomorrow. “

Song Hui nodded, and the two went back to their rooms to rest.

    Should actually be the other way around. This phrase roughly means «It is better to obey than to be polite», used typically to accept invitations.
