Words:917Update:22/06/27 13:05:04
I've already sent the little girl home safely. Is the little girl's family contacting me to express their gratitude?
In truth, Lu Benlai didn't think there was a need for that. After all, it was just a simple gesture from an ordinary person …
If it had been anyone else, he might have ignored such a message. However, the little girl he saw in the afternoon was simply too adorable and likable. Lu Benlai pondered for a moment before replying: [Yes, I am.]
It was already past midnight. Lu Benlai thought that the person who had sent him the message would have already gone to bed and wouldn't be replying to his message for the day. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that a second after he put down his phone, his phone would ring with a 'ding dong'.
Picking up his phone, he saw that it was a message from an unknown number: [Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you. It's like this, when I was washing my daughter's hands today, I noticed a cufflink in her hand. It looks like it's quite expensive, so can you give me your address? I'll send it over to you …]
When he returned home and was changing his clothes, he realized that he had lost a cufflink. He thought that he had accidentally dropped it on the floor … But in the end, it turned out that the little girl was the one who had snatched it away …
However, he didn't want strangers to know too much about him. After pondering for a moment, Lu Benlai recalled that he had an appointment in the Rose Garden tomorrow night. Thus, he replied: [I happen to be having dinner near your neighborhood tomorrow night. If it's convenient, can you deliver the cufflink to my restaurant?]
[Sure, but I might have to work overtime. How about 8: 30?]
[Sure.]
[I'll contact you tomorrow night then.]
Upon seeing this, Lu Benlai didn't respond to the other party's message.
…
The next day, at 8 am sharp, Lu Benlai was woken up by his alarm. The first thing he did when he woke up was to brush his teeth while sending Leng Nuan a WeChat message.
[Good morning, Nuan Nuan.]
[Nuan Nuan, the weather in Beijing is great today. I wonder where you are and if the weather is good?]
[Nuan Nuan, remember to eat breakfast. I'm going to work now …]
It was another busy day.
Lu Benlai's original plan was to have an appointment that night, but plans couldn't keep up with the sudden changes. Lu Benlai had to go on a business trip, and his flight was at 9 pm that night. He returned home at 6 am, hastily packed a few clothes, and rushed to the airport.
On the way to the airport, he kept answering the phone.
When he arrived at the airport, he finally didn't have to make a phone call, but he had to go through a series of check-in procedures. When he entered the VIP lounge, he finally had some free time.
At half past eight, the flight attendant reminded him that it was time to board the plane.
Just as Lu Benlai was about to leave the VIP lounge with his briefcase in hand, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and took a look at the caller ID. It was an eleven digit number, and it looked a little familiar … However, Lu Benlai wasn't able to match it to the number.
Lu Benlai tapped on the screen and answered the call. After which, he placed the phone to his ear and said, "Hello."
There was no sound from the other end of the line.
Lu Benlai waited for a moment before replying with another 'Hello'. This time, he added a few more words, "Hello, may I know who you are?"
There was still silence on the other side of the phone.
Through his phone, Lu Benlai could hear the sound of cars passing by, as well as the occasional honks.
He frowned. Seeing that the other side was still silent, he spoke again, "I'm sorry …"
