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