It fell from his fingertips

The latest collaboration with Lu's Cultural and Creative is a six-month project. This collaboration has two different themes. The first is "Little Joys," which aims to express a gentle and warm feeling deep in one's heart.

In the courtyard, under the cherry blossom tree, Tang Luoqing stared at the drawing paper, but the scene she had seen on the second floor of Grandpa Lu's seaside studio inexplicably flashed through her mind.

Those bright and vibrant paintings are just the little joys of Zhou Jinbai, a painter in his twenties.

As if possessed, Tang Luoqing took out her phone and searched for Zhou Jinbai, who was twenty years old.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the passage of time or some other reason, there was very little information available online, and Tang Luoqing put down her phone in disappointment.

She immediately realized why she was searching for Zhou Jinbai.

Naitang jumped from the ground into Tang Luoqing's arms. She held Naitang and looked up at the bare cherry blossom tree, recalling the scene of her and her grandmother sitting together in the yard, holding Naitang and watching the stars and the moon.

Tang Luoqing immediately put down the milk candy and picked up her pen.

She spent the entire afternoon drawing. After completing the initial outline, Tang Luoqing rubbed her sore neck, stretched, and picked up her phone, only to find that she had many missed calls, all from Zhou Yanchen.

Tang Luoqing took a deep breath and dialed Zhou Yanchen's number.

Zhou Yanchen on the other end of the phone seemed to have been drinking; as soon as the call connected, his voice, hoarse and tinged with grievance, came through.

"Baby, where are you? Why did the hotel reception say you weren't at the hotel? Where are you? I want to see you."

Hearing the familiar voice, Tang Luoqing felt as if the sky had suddenly turned gloomy, oppressive, and she had a feeling that it was about to rain at any moment.

"I... went home."

Tang Luoqing's voice was muffled: "Go back, and be careful."

Zhou Yanchen was slightly taken aback: "Going home? But I just came out of my house and didn't see you. Which house are you at?"

Tang Luoqing fell silent.

She had mentioned this home to Zhou Yanchen several times, and also mentioned that she wanted to come back with him to see the stars.

In fact, Zhou Yanchen accompanied his grandmother back home when she passed away.

Unfortunately, he probably doesn't remember this place at all.

Tang Luoqing felt even more bitter.

Just then, a rumbling sound rang out in the sky, and the once clear sky suddenly turned completely dark.

Tang Luoqing didn't have time to think much. She simply told Zhou Yanchen on the other end of the phone, "My grandma's and my home," and hung up. She then started packing her things.

I had just finished tidying up when a torrential downpour started in the yard.

Tang Luoqing breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the manuscript that had been salvaged in time.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yan sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby, looking at the phone that had been hung up, feeling a headache coming on.

The phone suddenly rang, and the screen displayed the words "Big Brother." Zhou Yanchen quickly straightened his posture and answered the call.

"The issues with the Haicheng project have been resolved. Do you want to continue managing it, or come back to take on another project?"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded cold and unfriendly, as always, very businesslike.

Zhou Yanchen was quite surprised.

Knowing his brother's personality, if a project goes wrong, the person in charge would absolutely not be allowed to continue taking over. But his brother...

Looking back over the past year, Zhou Jinbai, as the company president, was impartial in everything, but he did show favoritism towards his younger brother, even if he didn't personally supervise or discipline him.

Zhou Jinbai would generally agree to any project Zhou Yanchen wanted after a comprehensive evaluation. For some things he didn't understand, he would even send his assistant Shen to provide personal assistance.

Zhou Yanchen felt a mix of emotions.

Logically speaking, his relationship with Tang Luoqing is still in the process of repair, so he shouldn't be going to Haicheng at this time, but...

His brother trusts him so much, it would be really unreasonable for him not to go or not to do a good job.

Moreover, he originally intended to prove himself to his brother through this project.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Yanchen agreed: "Brother, I'll go to Haicheng. This time, I definitely won't let you down and I'll show you what I can do."

"Okay, then you can leave for Haicheng tomorrow, and leave the rest to me."

The call ended on the other end.

Zhou Yanchen knew that when Zhou Jinbai said "the rest," he meant the pressure exerted by the company's other shareholders on this matter, and that the partners would not easily accept him as the project manager of the Zhou Group.

All of this required his brother, the president of the Zhou Group, to put aside his pride and handle the situation.

Zhou Yanchen rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and stood up from the sofa.

He had only taken two steps to the car and was about to open the driver's side door when his hand was grabbed. Zhou Yanchen turned his head and saw that it was Su Leqi.

Su Leqi stared at Zhou Yanchen, exchanged a glance, lowered her head, but did not loosen her grip on Zhou Yanchen's wrist.

"You've been drinking and can't drive. I'll give you a ride."

A few minutes later, on the way to Yujing Bay, Su Leqi gripped the steering wheel and remained silent.

Zhou Yan sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, not saying a word.

The childhood sweethearts, who usually talked about everything, were now speechless.

Or rather, I don't know what to say.

The car quickly arrived at Building 10 of Yujing Bay, and Su Leqi helped the drunk Zhou Yanchen upstairs.

Upon arriving at the room door, Zhou Yanchen unlocked the door with his fingerprint, and Su Leqi helped him to sit down on the customer sofa.

"Um, you, you should get some rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Leqi turned around and prepared to leave.

The next moment, her hand was grabbed by Zhou Yanchen.

Su Leqi was taken aback, turned her head, and met Zhou Yanchen's eyes as he sat on the sofa.

Meanwhile, Tang Luoqing stayed at home, watching the sudden downpour, absentmindedly glancing at her phone every now and then.

Will Zhou Yanchen remember this place?

After she reminded me, will it happen?

The rain lasted for three days and three nights.

Tang Luoqing's house is located downstream of the village. After three days and three nights of light rain, there was already shallow water in the yard.

Fortunately, the terrain is slightly higher, so the rainwater doesn't flood the house.

But if things continue like this for another few days, it's hard to say what will happen.

The neighbors were all talking about it, jokingly suggesting that we should find somewhere to take shelter, otherwise what if it continued to rain and the car couldn't get in?

Tang Luoqing was also somewhat at a loss.

In her memory, Tuanle Village had only experienced one flood.

She was still young at that time. Her father carried Tang Luoqing and her grandmother to a high place at the entrance of the village. When he came back to find her mother, the rain had already washed away some of the houses.

Everyone grabbed Dad's arm, trying to stop him from coming back, fearing he might never return, but Dad went back regardless.

At that time, little Tang Luoqing cried in her grandmother's arms, very scared.

Fortunately, Dad carried Mom out, but he was swept away by the rain and fell on his leg, causing a lot of blood to flow down his leg and stain the water red.

Later, Dad spent several months in bed recovering.

Tang Luoqing looked up at the relentless rain and couldn't help but feel worried.
