When I finished, his eyes were dim. I was afraid he misunderstood me, so I smiled and added, “since
my parents left me, I realized that they were right.”
“Your parents...”
“My parents died in an air crash.”
I spoke with a flat expression and I was not sad.
It was not because I was not talking about myself.
Before that, I had thought about how I would tell others if this happened to me.
I thought I would never cry or show too much pain.
Sean looked at me and was silent for a long time before he said, “I’m sorry. I don’t know that.”
“It’s okay. These are all things of the past. People need to look forward.”
I put down the papers in my hands. My cell phone rang.
It was David.
I talked to him on the phone about the project.
When I hung up and looked up, I saw that Sean had finished his coffee. He stood by the sink and
washed the cup.
I was stunned by the action.
This seemed to be the first time I had seen Sean wash.
This action made my heart ache.
He and Cindy should be happy.
If a man like Sean could wash his coffee cup after drinking it, he must have a good relationship with his
wife.
He washed the cup and looked up at me.
I turned around and took out my cell phone and pretended to dial.
But I couldn’t suppress my sadness.
“I’m going back to the company.” Sean’s voice came from the sink.
“OK.” I reluctantly smiled and looked at him, “President Jessop, goodbye.”
Sean opened the door and left.
I didn’t have to suppress my mood. I squatted in the corner and put my face between my knees.
I had endless regrets.
I really shouldn’t have come to York.
I thought I forgot him but I didn’t know until I saw him.
I didn’t forget him. I just couldn’t see him so I didn’t miss him for the moment.
“Happy broken pupa, gorgeous new impulse...”
My cell phone rang.
This was my personal number.
There were usually only two people who called me at this number. One was Murray and the other was
Ming.
And this was Ming’s phone number.
I answered the phone. He said first, “where are you? I just went to the work place you said. Someone
said you just moved out in the morning.”
“Yes, Sean found me a studio. I can’t refuse him, so I’m here.”
I wouldn't hide anything from Ming.
I told Ming the address.
Soon, he came with a lunch box.
There were three dishes in it.
It had to be said that Ming’s cooking was very delicious. These years, when he lived in Sceaux, even
Lester loved his cooking.
I had been proud of my cooking for years, but I was not as good as him.
“You are hungry. Eat before you work.” Ming said as he took out the cutlery wrapped in a handkerchief.
“Thank you.”
I sat down and took my chopsticks and ate.
Ming looked around at the house. “It’s very good here. Sean really takes care of you.”
“No.” I bowed my head to eat. “Anyway, I’ll go back after this project, and I won’t come back again.”
After I said that, Ming didn’t reply for a long time.
When I looked up at him, he said, “in fact, for your career, I think you should stay here.”
I understood as soon as he said it. I said, “did Master ask you to convince me?”
Ming first froze and nodded, “you are right.”
I ate with my head down.
In fact, I understood Murray’s mind.
And York really suited me better.
After thinking about it, I said, “it’s very difficult to develop here. I don’t have my own people. Craftsmen
work for Master. If I want to find these people in York, money won’t work.”
Because these buildings needed skilled craftsmen.
Even if the old craftsmen taught their apprentices, they would not be able to work for a year or two.
“Yes.” Ming nodded.
I looked at him and thought about it before I asked, “where do you want me to be, Ming?”
He seemed surprised that I asked him. He looked at me and hesitated before saying, “if you finally
choose me, I hope you stay in York. Because it’s more suitable for your development. I hope you are
better.”
“Choose you?”
“I’m afraid you’ll be moved by him. In that case, I would like you to stay away from him.”
As soon as Ming explained, I understood.
I had no confidence in myself when I thought of what I had just done.
I lowered my head and took a bite of rice before I said, “craftsmen are hard to find. If I can’t solve this
problem, I can’t stay here.”
-
The days after that, I was basically in the studio.
With the maturity of site planning and design and the commencement of architectural design, my
landscape design time was less and less.
In order to complete the design better, I worked more at night, so I went to bed in the early morning
every day.
I got up just in time for ming to have lunch with me.
The architectural design drawings in York Architecture and Landscape Design Institute had also been
prepared. The building was under construction. Part of my landscape design had also started
construction.
Traditional Design Gang kept the ancient method when designing gardens. It could not only prevent
ponding, but also made plants grow in disorder.
It was not the same as the common landscape and garden drawings, so the workers here couldn’t
understand my design drawings at all.
No matter how I told him, he said he couldn’t understand.
I had no choice but to ask Murray for help. I asked him to lend me two workers. At least I needed them
to understand my drawings first.
Murray promised me.
The next day he sent two old craftsmen here.
I picked them up at the airport myself.
When I got to the airport, I learned that sceaux was foggy, so the plane was two hours late.
I didn’t want to go back so I waited at the airport.
While I was waiting in my chair, a familiar voice passed me.
Cindy.
Although we hadn’t seen each other for five years, I recognized her at a glance.
She hardly changed, not even her hairstyle.
She was wearing a long blue dress and carrying a fancy bag.
She looked low-key, but she was really high-key.
I looked at her and wondered who she would pick up.
Cindy waited a moment. A young looking man in a black T-shirt came out of it.
Cindy saw him and waved happily.
The man stepped out quickly.
Originally, I thought they were just ordinary friends, but next second, something unexpected happened!
Cindy and the young man quickly hugged and kissed each other.
