primary school principal
Chapter 51 Meeting
On the night of returning to China, Director Sun and Director Yang wanted to welcome Lu Yuzhou, so they booked a room at a high-end barbecue restaurant.
It was more than six o'clock when we got off the plane, so Lu Yuzhou and Lance were taken directly to a place to eat, but they waited for three hours before the two big bosses arrived late.
"Where are you two going?" Lu Yuzhou and Lance had already ate a lot, and if they couldn't wait for anyone to come, they prepared to pick themselves up, and then took a taxi home.
"Old Swan, the school treasure hasn't changed at all!" Yang Yi entered the door in a hurry, and was startled when she saw Lu Yuzhou, "How dare the years of love only destroy us, you and Yu Zhou stand together, dear boy, are you inferior?"
Sun Zhi: "..."
"Oh my god! Why are you getting fat again!" Lance, who was eating in full swing, paid another [-] dollars to Sun Dui's heart in the midst of his busy schedule.
Lu Yuzhou and Yang Yi were giggling.
"You can spoil me with all your might." Once Mrs. Sun put on a bliss, his temper also turned in the direction of honesty, neither angry nor annoyed, he cheerfully carried a bag and dragged a chair for his sister Yi.
They were together two years ago. Comrade Sun Zhi experienced the longest pursuit in his life. He survived for eight years before he became "upper position".
Looking at the down-to-earth Sun Zhi, Lu Yuzhou felt quite comforted like an old father.Yang Yi has also changed quite a lot, her long hair has become a capable short hair, a decent professional suit, domineering high heels, she looks like a strong business woman.
Even Lance, who I see every day, is different from when we first met.
It sounds good to be the same, but it is also quite scary when you think about it. If the years fail to leave something behind, it will be wasted.
"This foreign guy is Lance, so handsome." Yang Yi greeted Lance in English, "Hi, hello Lance, you are very handsome."
Instead, he buried Sun Zhi in Chinese, "How do you describe a person like that? I always thought he looked like a parrot."
Lance: "..."
Lu Yuzhou covered his mouth and groaned, suppressed a smile and said, "Sister Yang, Lance is fluent in Chinese now."
Yang Yi: "..."
Sun Zhi: "..."
This is awkward.
"Really!" Sun Zhi immediately sat on the seat next to Lance, took the hand that was still covered with oil on the skewer, and shook it twice attentively, "Is it so powerful, Comrade Lance, welcome to join our Chinese family Brother, let me give you some science, parrot in Chinese means a person with a high nose bridge, which means that this person has good genes."
Lu Yuzhou: "..."
Yang Yi: "..."
Most of Lance's Chinese was learned when he got along with Yu Fan, and he can basically understand it, but he can't speak Chinese well, and he is still at a half-bottle level, so he is easy to be fooled by others.
"Ah, what a strange description." Lance nodded and accepted the popular science.
How could Yang Yi let go of such a deceitful handsome guy, and immediately pulled Lance to have a chat, digging out his talent. "You can also compose music! Are you free to write two songs for your sister?"
Lance is versatile and can do almost anything in music. He likes rock and pop the most, and dreams of debuting as a singer one day.But his parents only allowed him to follow the path of a performer, so he can only play tickets if he likes it. Yang Yi's talk is in vain.
"Sister works in a music studio?" Lance immediately asked about Lin Ling when he heard that Yang Yi was able to get in touch with the singer, "Can I meet 'Zero'? I'll write songs for you. It's free. Just introduce me to her." He will do."
"Who?" Yang Yi didn't understand.
"Lin Ling." Lu Yuzhou said.
Yang Yi said "ah", "Lin Ling, it's not easy. It just so happens that he has a concert next week, so I'll give you a ticket and that's it."
"Really!" Lance said excitedly.
When they were talking about cooperation, Sun Zhi asked Lu Yuzhou: "Old Lu, when will you go back?"
Lu Yuzhou hasn't thought about this question yet. He arranged a half-month trip to Europe for his grandparents and Sister Fan. He is not in a hurry to go back. The performance schedule is about ten days, and he will travel to several places. He happened to show Lance a tour of China. , the time elasticity is very large.
It's just that he didn't know the fundamental reason why he didn't have a fixed return date, whether it was for Lance's China tour, or for something else.
"Not yet." Lu Yuzhou said while turning over the meat on the grill, "Lance wants to visit China."
Sun Zhi glanced at him and said nothing.
After Sun Zhi and Yang Yi came, the four of them opened a case of beer and chatted while drinking. They made a fuss until twelve o'clock before they broke up, because the store was about to close.
"Go to K for another two hours?" Yang Yi proposed after seeing Lance's unfinished business after coming out.
"Okay, okay!" Lance, this guy seems to be pumped every day, it's common to spend the night all night, jet lag doesn't affect him, "I like the nightlife in China so much, I want karaoke! "
Seeing that Lu Yuzhou seemed a bit tired, Sun Zhi asked him, "How about tomorrow?"
"Are the two bosses free tomorrow?" Lu Yuzhou knew that the two of them were busy, and it was not easy to take a day off. "Just today, I can't sleep anyway."
So the four of them went to a ktv again.
Lance is a Yankee, and rarely has the opportunity to karaoke. Since Lu Yuzhou took him to experience a Chinese karaoke room two years ago, this guy fell in love with it, and learned a lot of Chinese songs for it. Richer than Lu Yuzhou.
"I want to order Lin Ling's songs!" Lance took the microphone as soon as he entered the private room, "fish, please help me order songs."
Ever since he knew that Lin Ling sang Wu Ye's song, Lu Yuzhou was a little against Lin Ling. Although he knew it was not his fault, he felt uncomfortable.
"I'll get you some." Sun Zhi took the initiative to rescue Lu Yuzhou, and sat next to Lance, "You like his old songs, don't you?"
Lance: "Yes, it's the song from "The Look of Love"."
For reasons unknown to outsiders, Lin Ling sang a few songs by Wu Ye in the first few years, which became his masterpiece of transformation. Later, he abandoned this soft rock style and returned to the route of love songs. is his own work.
What Lance likes is obviously Wu Ye's style.
When the prelude sounded, Lu Yuzhou couldn't sit still, but he forced himself to sit for a while, he thought, if he could insist on listening to the whole song, maybe the next ten years would have a good start.
However, he really overestimated himself, and he ran away as soon as Lance entered the chorus.
"I've had too much beer, I'm going to the bathroom." Lu Yuzhou casually took a pack of cigarettes from the table.
Sun Zhi and Yang Yi looked at each other, Sun Zhi rebelled for the first time, and Chao Yi rolled her eyes, conveying the meaning: You shouldn't propose K songs.
Yang Yi was at a loss this time. She developed a problem with her business development. She was used to watching what she said and doing what she liked. She focused on Lance, so she didn't think much about it.
Taking advantage of Lance's enthusiasm in singing, Yang Yi whispered, "What should I do, why don't you go out and have a look?"
Sun Zhi just shook his head.
There is a smoking area outside the bathroom, Lu Yuzhou came out after draining the water, and lit one against the wall.
In the first few years when he went to the United States, he smoked a lot, firstly because of spiritual needs, and secondly because of Yu Fan's indulgent attitude.Yu Fan was double stimulated by Lu Yuzhou's hand injury. On the one hand, she was afraid that her son would not be able to realize his dream of playing the piano, so she had a high desire to control. emotions.
During that time, she closed herself off, in order not to do something to force Lu Yuzhou, she did not communicate with her son.But Lu Yuzhou forced himself to give her what she wanted, and practiced the piano desperately, so as to give her a sense of security.Under the dual psychological and physical pressure, he had to rely on tobacco to survive. The process of spitting out the cigarette was a kind of confession and vent for him.
Therefore, he has practiced the superb "breathing cigarette Dafa", taking a deep breath of the cigarette, and exhaling a long roll, the cigarette is comfortable, like an old smoker.
Lu Yuzhou guessed that Lance would have to sing for a while, so he took another cigarette from the box, tilted his head slightly, lit it, took a deep breath, and the tail of the cigarette quickly burned to ashes.
At this time, a person came around the corner, and a pair of long legs broke into sight unexpectedly.
Suddenly, as if someone pressed the pause button out of thin air, the other person's footsteps froze, Lu Yuzhou maintained the posture of lighting a cigarette, and the air stopped flowing.
There was a slight "bang" sound in my heart, as if a door burst open without authorization, and something important poured out.
Then, time goes backwards at an extremely fast speed, frame by frame, and finally freezes on a certain hot summer day—the corner of no one, the flip-flops that break into the sight, the annoying camphor tree fragrance at the report office, the boy wearing a white T under the tree Shouted: primary school principal.
Probably because the air circulation here is too poor and the cigarettes disperse too slowly, a layer of fog formed in Lu Yuzhou's vision.
Everything in front of me is like a dream, far away and unreal.
"Ahem..." The smoke in his mouth lingered for too long, and he suddenly protested, and the old smoker almost choked to the sky.
And for as long as he coughed, Wu Ye's gaze was fixed for a long time, as if the dream in front of him would dissipate if he blinked.
"Coincidentally, you are here too." Lu Yuzhou's social skills that he had practiced for many years came in handy at this time. He instinctively wore a just-right smile on his face, stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and turned sideways. facing each other.If the distance is close enough, he may offer a handshake, or a courtesy kiss on the cheek.
However, the other party didn't say any polite nonsense to him, but just stared at him blankly. If he didn't move, Lu Yuzhou would probably be sure that this was a dream.
The air was still, and embarrassment spread between the two.
Lu Yuzhou once admired Wu Ye's emotional intelligence very much. He always knew when you needed a step, and then handed it over naturally, and met him face to face. No matter whether you were familiar with him or not, he would never make the scene awkward.
How could people be left here like this!
The longer he was left hanging, the more Lu Yuzhou felt that his acting skills were clumsy. There was no such thing as "old friends" meeting each other and trying to exchange pleasantries, so he couldn't continue acting.
"When did you come back?" EQ Wu Ye finally came online, and spoke before the smile on Lu Yuzhou's face froze into a wax figure.
Lu Yuzhou secretly heaved a sigh of relief as he clenched and loosened his hands in his trouser pockets, "Today... oh, no, yesterday, I just got off the plane in the evening."
"I came with my friend." Wu Ye never took his eyes off the other person's face.
"Well." He always knew that Lu Yuzhou's nature would not come to this kind of place alone for entertainment, he must be with his friends, "Friends from the United States, it's his first time in China—you came with friends too?"
"No, this is Xiaojin's shop, and I come here to sing occasionally." Wu also said.
"so."
Lu Yuzhou nodded, and the topic came to an end.
Obviously there were so many things to talk about in the past, but Lu Yuzhou racked his brains and couldn't think of a suitable topic at the moment. Except for how are you now and how was the past? Can't think of anything else.
The phone rang suddenly, it was Lance's call, Lu Yuzhou answered it with relief, "Well, I'm here, I'll be right back..."
Wu also moved slightly away from the corner and continued to look at him.
Lu Yuzhou was wearing a simple white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and the neckline wide open. The results of the exercise could be vaguely seen. The frailty of a boy had faded away, and every gesture of his hands was full of mature charm.
He seems to be a little taller, a lot stronger, and not very thin. Obviously, he is in good shape.The dark circles under my eyes are a bit heavy, probably from the fatigue of the journey, but I am in good spirits and have a bright smile.The relationship with the friend on the phone should be very close, and the shoulders are unconsciously relaxed when talking...
Wu also seems to be facing a treasure that has been lost for a long time. He suddenly saw him, and every time he looked at him, he was confirming whether he was dusty and whether he was intact.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be doing well, he was glad and disappointed—his baby didn't seem to be in the way of leaving him.
"I'm going back to the private room first." Lu Yuzhou stuffed the phone into his pocket, looked at Wu Ye, "The boy is here, do you want to go in and play?"
Wu also shook his head, "I'm leaving soon."
"Oh, good." Lu Yuzhou was a little disappointed, there was no follow-up after the brief meeting, and he wondered if there was any chance of meeting by chance.
He walked towards the corner step by step, and Wu Ye was in the corner of his eyes—he was still the same, but his outline was a little more mature than before, his hair was a little shorter than before, round inches close to the scalp, and the letter "Z" was shaved on the side, It looks cooler and trendier.
The aisle was not too wide, and when they met on a narrow road, their shoulders could almost touch each other.The familiar outline and the familiar smell made Lu Yuzhou's heart skip a beat. His hand was inexplicably controlled by a force from the bottom of his heart. He grabbed Wu Ye's hand hanging by his side and asked, "You the day after tomorrow..."
"Yeah, are you still okay?" Chen Yiming suddenly appeared around the corner, meeting Lu Yuzhou's eyes.
Lu Yuzhou retracted his hand into his pocket with lightning speed, and moved half a step towards the wall. He looked at Chen Yiming with hostility, and the door in his heart slammed shut again.
"Huh?" Wu Ye looked at him sideways, and clenched the hand that still had his warmth.
"It's nothing, sorry to bother you." Lu Yuzhou left as if fleeing.
The sound of howling ghosts and howling wolves in the KTV once again occupied his hearing, shattering the dream just now.
He walked quickly into the private room, closed the door, and leaned against the door slumped, his feet seemed to be stepping on the void.
"Fish?" Lance was startled when he saw his pale face, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Yuzhou shook his head, "I'm a little tired, let's go back."
"Tell me early when you're tired, what are you doing with me?" Lance quickly dropped the microphone, put Lu Yuzhou's bag on his shoulder, stepped forward to put his arm around his shoulder, let him lean on his body, and put his forehead against the other person I checked my temperature, "It seems a little hot. Is there a pharmacy open for Sister Yang at this time? Fish's physique is used to antibiotics, so he needs to take medicine."
"Yes, yes, I have it in my car." Yang Yi hurriedly went downstairs to get the medicine in the car.
Sun Zhi also didn't care about being jealous of his "rival in love", and followed behind with bags and clothes to check out. He wondered what kind of gaffe Lu Yuzhou encountered when he went out, and he didn't realize it until he ran into Wu Ye and Chen Yiming in the corridor.
If it weren't for the fact that his hands were full of things, Sun Zhi's fist must have hit Wu Ye in the face right now.
He originally had some sympathy for Wu Ye, but these sympathies were insignificant in the face of Lu Yuzhou's ten years of suffering.
"Do you know how he got out? Do you know how difficult it is for him to get to this day!" Sun Zhi's chest was heaving violently, and he stared at Wu Ye and took a deep breath, "I beg you, beg you to take Can you live away from him!"
Wu was also greeted by Sun Zhi's spittle star, but he didn't move.
"No, you guys are endless!" Chen Yiming became furious when he saw Wu Ye's humble appearance, pointing at Sun Zhi and scolding back, "Who the fuck is easy..."
"Shut up, Chen Yiming!" Wu Ye grabbed Chen Yiming's arm and forcibly went upstairs, and he didn't let go until he entered his exclusive karaoke room.
Chen Yiming's anger had no place to spread, and he punched the wall, "Are you cheap, Wu Ye, you sold yourself for him for 20 years! Who is better than the other, how big the hatred is evened, why do you always It's as humble as if you owe them a few lives!"
Wu Yeqi opened a bottle of wine and walked to the window, where he could just see the downstairs.He saw Lu Yuzhou being carried into the car by a foreign boy who seemed to treat him very well.
What he was most worried about at one time was that Lu Yuzhou would close himself up again, just like before, he looked warm and sunny on the outside, but was actually lonely inside.He hopes that he can make more friends and get closer to people, and he doesn't want his world to become dark and dull because of him.
It's good that he can come out, and it's good that someone cares about him.
Wu Ye raised his head and drank a bottle of wine, put his hands on the window sill, and watched their car drive away.
"Tell Lin Ling that I won't be going to the concert next week."
Chen Yiming was taken aback, "Where are you going? Are you leaving again?"
"Yeah." Wu Ye took another bottle of wine, "I'll ask Zhao Zhiyan for leave, maybe half a year."
Lu Yuzhou didn't have a fever, but he let Lance's disease go to the doctor in a hurry, took antipyretics, and slept until noon the next day relying on the sleeping ingredients in the medicine.
In the evening, he was going to try the piano at the concert hall where he was performing. He got up and ran on the treadmill for an hour. After that, he took a shower, ordered takeaway, and then dragged Lance, who was sleeping like a dead pig, out of the bed.
"Fish? Are you alright?" Lance narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Yuzhou, seeing that his face was flushed and his body was fragrant, and he seemed to be fine.But just to be on the safe side, he used his forehead to test his temperature again. He didn't know how this unreliable thermometer worked. Anyway, he judged that Lu Yuzhou was completely fine at this moment.
"Great, I'm finally relieved."
Lu Yuzhou rolled his eyes, "You're sleeping like a pig, I really don't see why you're worried. Get up and wash your face and brush your teeth. We're leaving later. I'll borrow a car from my dad."
"Why are you in a hurry, I worry about you at night, and I don't sleep until dawn." Lance yawned and walked into the bathroom, picked up a toothbrush and used it.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, I invite you to lunch tomorrow. You must be free." Lu Yuzhou called Lu Xingchuan, turned around and saw Lance using his toothbrush, rushed into the bathroom, and rewarded him with two chestnuts.
"Hey! You are so particular, haven't you shared a toothbrush with your ex-boyfriend!" Lance protested, covering his head, "Aren't I more in love with your ex-boyfriend?"
Lu Xingchuan: "Hey, do you have a new boyfriend?"
Lu Yuzhou was angry: "It's Lance, I won't look for him even if all the men and women in the world are wiped out."
Lance: "..."
Lu Xingchuan smiled for a while and said, "Son, you can look for it if you want. Dad has no problem with your sexual orientation."
"If you have no objection, don't look for it. I don't like gays." Lu Yuzhou didn't want to continue this topic. "Lend me a car and have dinner with me tomorrow. I'll leave after the performance."
Lu Xingchuan: "So anxious? Won't you come back after the performance elsewhere?"
"No, let's go to the south with Lance for a few days, and then go back to the United States directly." Lu Yuzhou said.
Lu Xingchuan: "That's fine, I'll call Lao Chen over."
In the afternoon, Mr. Lu's driver, Lao Chen, brought the car and took them all the way to the concert hall.On the way, Lu Yuzhou asked old Chen how Boss Lu was doing, and old Chen sighed and said, "Our Boss Lu is a long-term worker, so we just need to live in the company."
Mr. Lu is now living a miserable life of working alone and living in a bachelor's apartment. There is no one in the apartment. It is not as lively as the company. It is estimated that he rarely goes home.
Lu Yuzhou felt sorry for his father, if not for his accident, Mr. Lu would not have separated from his wife.
"Uncle Chen, I would like to trouble you to take care of my dad and bring him some home-cooked food instead of eating outside."
"Okay, I got it, I'll let my daughter-in-law burn the ribs tonight." Old Chen waved to them, picked up a bicycle and left.
"Fish, why didn't your father go to America?" Lance was puzzled.
Lu Yuzhou: "He has his responsibilities. The employees of the company and the elderly at home all need him."
"Oh, then you and your mother will not return to China?" Lance asked.
"If my mother is in better condition, we will arrange for her to come back."
"What about you?" Lance seemed to sense his eagerness to leave, "fish, have you met your ex-boyfriend? If you really can't forget him, why don't you try again?"
Lu Yuzhou smiled and shook his head, "He doesn't need me anymore."
"Oh, this is really his loss." Lance hooked Lu Yuzhou's shoulder and patted him reassuringly, "If you feel lonely, you can treat me as your boyfriend, I swear I will definitely be better than you The boyfriend is considerate."
"Thank you, I think you are perfect except that you are not qualified as a boyfriend." When he came to the elevator, Lu Yuzhou pressed the up button of the elevator.
Lance was right when he thought about it, "That means, I'm perfect in front of you."
Lu Yuzhou smiled and nodded, "Yes, you are very optimistic."
The elevator stopped on the first floor, the elevator door opened, and several staff came out of it, one of them stared at Lu Yuzhou for a while, and suddenly said pleasantly, "Brother Yu Zhou!"
Lu Yuzhou was taken aback, and looked up at the person who called him. A young man in his 20s, with a small square face and a height of 1.8 meters. He didn't remember such a person in his social circle, "You know me?"
"You don't remember me, Brother Yu Zhou, I'm Hu Meng!" Hu Meng greeted her companions, and stayed to talk to Lu Yuzhou, "Where have you been all these years, why didn't you play with Brother Ye? "
"Hu Meng?" Lu Yuzhou was really shocked. He looked at Hu Meng's face again and again, it was completely different from his childhood appearance, "You should be graduating from university soon, did you study here?"
"Yeah, I just graduated this year, I studied stage design, and I have already started an internship. Except for the idiot Xiaoguang, all of us have passed the exam here, Brother Qi has a PhD in law, nothing else, we just do it for Take care of Brother Ye." Hu Meng was very happy to see Lu Yuzhou, and talked to him a lot.
"Take care? Is he okay?" Lu Yuzhou frowned.
"A bachelor who has no money, what's the matter, wandering around the world all day without a home, isn't he leaving again today, and asked me to go to his house to pick up his son to take care of him at night." Hu Meng wanted to chat with him for a while, but reluctantly returned He had a job, so he looked at the time and said, "Brother Yu Zhou, are you free tonight, may I treat you to supper?"
Lu Yuzhou's mind is a bit messed up, what does it mean to be a bachelor without money?Still wandering around the world without a home?He is not with Chen Yiming...
"Okay, I'll add you on WeChat." Lu Yuzhou put away his doubts and decided to have a good chat with Hu Meng at night.
The author has something to say: Lance wanted to see Wu in the last chapter was also a bug, it has been corrected.
Thanks to "" for the nutrient solution!
It was more than six o'clock when we got off the plane, so Lu Yuzhou and Lance were taken directly to a place to eat, but they waited for three hours before the two big bosses arrived late.
"Where are you two going?" Lu Yuzhou and Lance had already ate a lot, and if they couldn't wait for anyone to come, they prepared to pick themselves up, and then took a taxi home.
"Old Swan, the school treasure hasn't changed at all!" Yang Yi entered the door in a hurry, and was startled when she saw Lu Yuzhou, "How dare the years of love only destroy us, you and Yu Zhou stand together, dear boy, are you inferior?"
Sun Zhi: "..."
"Oh my god! Why are you getting fat again!" Lance, who was eating in full swing, paid another [-] dollars to Sun Dui's heart in the midst of his busy schedule.

During that time, she closed herself off, in order not to do something to force Lu Yuzhou, she did not communicate with her son.But Lu Yuzhou forced himself to give her what she wanted, and practiced the piano desperately, so as to give her a sense of security.Under the dual psychological and physical pressure, he had to rely on tobacco to survive. The process of spitting out the cigarette was a kind of confession and vent for him.
Therefore, he has practiced the superb "breathing cigarette Dafa", taking a deep breath of the cigarette, and exhaling a long roll, the cigarette is comfortable, like an old smoker.
Lu Yuzhou guessed that Lance would have to sing for a while, so he took another cigarette from the box, tilted his head slightly, lit it, took a deep breath, and the tail of the cigarette quickly burned to ashes.
At this time, a person came around the corner, and a pair of long legs broke into sight unexpectedly.
Suddenly, as if someone pressed the pause button out of thin air, the other person's footsteps froze, Lu Yuzhou maintained the posture of lighting a cigarette, and the air stopped flowing.
There was a slight "bang" sound in my heart, as if a door burst open without authorization, and something important poured out.
Then, time goes backwards at an extremely fast speed, frame by frame, and finally freezes on a certain hot summer day—the corner of no one, the flip-flops that break into the sight, the annoying camphor tree fragrance at the report office, the boy wearing a white T under the tree Shouted: primary school principal.
Probably because the air circulation here is too poor and the cigarettes disperse too slowly, a layer of fog formed in Lu Yuzhou's vision.
Everything in front of me is like a dream, far away and unreal.
"Ahem..." The smoke in his mouth lingered for too long, and he suddenly protested, and the old smoker almost choked to the sky.
And for as long as he coughed, Wu Ye's gaze was fixed for a long time, as if the dream in front of him would dissipate if he blinked.
"Coincidentally, you are here too." Lu Yuzhou's social skills that he had practiced for many years came in handy at this time. He instinctively wore a just-right smile on his face, stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and turned sideways. facing each other.If the distance is close enough, he may offer a handshake, or a courtesy kiss on the cheek.
However, the other party didn't say any polite nonsense to him, but just stared at him blankly. If he didn't move, Lu Yuzhou would probably be sure that this was a dream.
The air was still, and embarrassment spread between the two.
Lu Yuzhou once admired Wu Ye's emotional intelligence very much. He always knew when you needed a step, and then handed it over naturally, and met him face to face. No matter whether you were familiar with him or not, he would never make the scene awkward.
How could people be left here like this!
The longer he was left hanging, the more Lu Yuzhou felt that his acting skills were clumsy. There was no such thing as "old friends" meeting each other and trying to exchange pleasantries, so he couldn't continue acting.
"When did you come back?" EQ Wu Ye finally came online, and spoke before the smile on Lu Yuzhou's face froze into a wax figure.
Lu Yuzhou secretly heaved a sigh of relief as he clenched and loosened his hands in his trouser pockets, "Today... oh, no, yesterday, I just got off the plane in the evening."
"I came with my friend." Wu Ye never took his eyes off the other person's face.
"Well." He always knew that Lu Yuzhou's nature would not come to this kind of place alone for entertainment, he must be with his friends, "Friends from the United States, it's his first time in China—you came with friends too?"
"No, this is Xiaojin's shop, and I come here to sing occasionally." Wu also said.
"so."
Lu Yuzhou nodded, and the topic came to an end.
Obviously there were so many things to talk about in the past, but Lu Yuzhou racked his brains and couldn't think of a suitable topic at the moment. Except for how are you now and how was the past? Can't think of anything else.
The phone rang suddenly, it was Lance's call, Lu Yuzhou answered it with relief, "Well, I'm here, I'll be right back..."
Wu also moved slightly away from the corner and continued to look at him.
Lu Yuzhou was wearing a simple white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and the neckline wide open. The results of the exercise could be vaguely seen. The frailty of a boy had faded away, and every gesture of his hands was full of mature charm.
He seems to be a little taller, a lot stronger, and not very thin. Obviously, he is in good shape.The dark circles under my eyes are a bit heavy, probably from the fatigue of the journey, but I am in good spirits and have a bright smile.The relationship with the friend on the phone should be very close, and the shoulders are unconsciously relaxed when talking...
Wu also seems to be facing a treasure that has been lost for a long time. He suddenly saw him, and every time he looked at him, he was confirming whether he was dusty and whether he was intact.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be doing well, he was glad and disappointed—his baby didn't seem to be in the way of leaving him.
"I'm going back to the private room first." Lu Yuzhou stuffed the phone into his pocket, looked at Wu Ye, "The boy is here, do you want to go in and play?"
Wu also shook his head, "I'm leaving soon."
"Oh, good." Lu Yuzhou was a little disappointed, there was no follow-up after the brief meeting, and he wondered if there was any chance of meeting by chance.
He walked towards the corner step by step, and Wu Ye was in the corner of his eyes—he was still the same, but his outline was a little more mature than before, his hair was a little shorter than before, round inches close to the scalp, and the letter "Z" was shaved on the side, It looks cooler and trendier.
The aisle was not too wide, and when they met on a narrow road, their shoulders could almost touch each other.The familiar outline and the familiar smell made Lu Yuzhou's heart skip a beat. His hand was inexplicably controlled by a force from the bottom of his heart. He grabbed Wu Ye's hand hanging by his side and asked, "You the day after tomorrow..."
"Yeah, are you still okay?" Chen Yiming suddenly appeared around the corner, meeting Lu Yuzhou's eyes.
Lu Yuzhou retracted his hand into his pocket with lightning speed, and moved half a step towards the wall. He looked at Chen Yiming with hostility, and the door in his heart slammed shut again.
"Huh?" Wu Ye looked at him sideways, and clenched the hand that still had his warmth.
"It's nothing, sorry to bother you." Lu Yuzhou left as if fleeing.
The sound of howling ghosts and howling wolves in the KTV once again occupied his hearing, shattering the dream just now.
He walked quickly into the private room, closed the door, and leaned against the door slumped, his feet seemed to be stepping on the void.
"Fish?" Lance was startled when he saw his pale face, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Yuzhou shook his head, "I'm a little tired, let's go back."
"Tell me early when you're tired, what are you doing with me?" Lance quickly dropped the microphone, put Lu Yuzhou's bag on his shoulder, stepped forward to put his arm around his shoulder, let him lean on his body, and put his forehead against the other person I checked my temperature, "It seems a little hot. Is there a pharmacy open for Sister Yang at this time? Fish's physique is used to antibiotics, so he needs to take medicine."
"Yes, yes, I have it in my car." Yang Yi hurriedly went downstairs to get the medicine in the car.
Sun Zhi also didn't care about being jealous of his "rival in love", and followed behind with bags and clothes to check out. He wondered what kind of gaffe Lu Yuzhou encountered when he went out, and he didn't realize it until he ran into Wu Ye and Chen Yiming in the corridor.
If it weren't for the fact that his hands were full of things, Sun Zhi's fist must have hit Wu Ye in the face right now.
He originally had some sympathy for Wu Ye, but these sympathies were insignificant in the face of Lu Yuzhou's ten years of suffering.
"Do you know how he got out? Do you know how difficult it is for him to get to this day!" Sun Zhi's chest was heaving violently, and he stared at Wu Ye and took a deep breath, "I beg you, beg you to take Can you live away from him!"
Wu was also greeted by Sun Zhi's spittle star, but he didn't move.
"No, you guys are endless!" Chen Yiming became furious when he saw Wu Ye's humble appearance, pointing at Sun Zhi and scolding back, "Who the fuck is easy..."
"Shut up, Chen Yiming!" Wu Ye grabbed Chen Yiming's arm and forcibly went upstairs, and he didn't let go until he entered his exclusive karaoke room.
Chen Yiming's anger had no place to spread, and he punched the wall, "Are you cheap, Wu Ye, you sold yourself for him for 20 years! Who is better than the other, how big the hatred is evened, why do you always It's as humble as if you owe them a few lives!"
Wu Yeqi opened a bottle of wine and walked to the window, where he could just see the downstairs.He saw Lu Yuzhou being carried into the car by a foreign boy who seemed to treat him very well.
What he was most worried about at one time was that Lu Yuzhou would close himself up again, just like before, he looked warm and sunny on the outside, but was actually lonely inside.He hopes that he can make more friends and get closer to people, and he doesn't want his world to become dark and dull because of him.
It's good that he can come out, and it's good that someone cares about him.
Wu Ye raised his head and drank a bottle of wine, put his hands on the window sill, and watched their car drive away.
"Tell Lin Ling that I won't be going to the concert next week."
Chen Yiming was taken aback, "Where are you going? Are you leaving again?"
"Yeah." Wu Ye took another bottle of wine, "I'll ask Zhao Zhiyan for leave, maybe half a year."
Lu Yuzhou didn't have a fever, but he let Lance's disease go to the doctor in a hurry, took antipyretics, and slept until noon the next day relying on the sleeping ingredients in the medicine.
In the evening, he was going to try the piano at the concert hall where he was performing. He got up and ran on the treadmill for an hour. After that, he took a shower, ordered takeaway, and then dragged Lance, who was sleeping like a dead pig, out of the bed.
"Fish? Are you alright?" Lance narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Yuzhou, seeing that his face was flushed and his body was fragrant, and he seemed to be fine.But just to be on the safe side, he used his forehead to test his temperature again. He didn't know how this unreliable thermometer worked. Anyway, he judged that Lu Yuzhou was completely fine at this moment.
"Great, I'm finally relieved."
Lu Yuzhou rolled his eyes, "You're sleeping like a pig, I really don't see why you're worried. Get up and wash your face and brush your teeth. We're leaving later. I'll borrow a car from my dad."
"Why are you in a hurry, I worry about you at night, and I don't sleep until dawn." Lance yawned and walked into the bathroom, picked up a toothbrush and used it.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, I invite you to lunch tomorrow. You must be free." Lu Yuzhou called Lu Xingchuan, turned around and saw Lance using his toothbrush, rushed into the bathroom, and rewarded him with two chestnuts.
"Hey! You are so particular, haven't you shared a toothbrush with your ex-boyfriend!" Lance protested, covering his head, "Aren't I more in love with your ex-boyfriend?"
Lu Xingchuan: "Hey, do you have a new boyfriend?"
Lu Yuzhou was angry: "It's Lance, I won't look for him even if all the men and women in the world are wiped out."
Lance: "..."
Lu Xingchuan smiled for a while and said, "Son, you can look for it if you want. Dad has no problem with your sexual orientation."
"If you have no objection, don't look for it. I don't like gays." Lu Yuzhou didn't want to continue this topic. "Lend me a car and have dinner with me tomorrow. I'll leave after the performance."
Lu Xingchuan: "So anxious? Won't you come back after the performance elsewhere?"
"No, let's go to the south with Lance for a few days, and then go back to the United States directly." Lu Yuzhou said.
Lu Xingchuan: "That's fine, I'll call Lao Chen over."
In the afternoon, Mr. Lu's driver, Lao Chen, brought the car and took them all the way to the concert hall.On the way, Lu Yuzhou asked old Chen how Boss Lu was doing, and old Chen sighed and said, "Our Boss Lu is a long-term worker, so we just need to live in the company."
Mr. Lu is now living a miserable life of working alone and living in a bachelor's apartment. There is no one in the apartment. It is not as lively as the company. It is estimated that he rarely goes home.
Lu Yuzhou felt sorry for his father, if not for his accident, Mr. Lu would not have separated from his wife.
"Uncle Chen, I would like to trouble you to take care of my dad and bring him some home-cooked food instead of eating outside."
"Okay, I got it, I'll let my daughter-in-law burn the ribs tonight." Old Chen waved to them, picked up a bicycle and left.
"Fish, why didn't your father go to America?" Lance was puzzled.
Lu Yuzhou: "He has his responsibilities. The employees of the company and the elderly at home all need him."
"Oh, then you and your mother will not return to China?" Lance asked.
"If my mother is in better condition, we will arrange for her to come back."
"What about you?" Lance seemed to sense his eagerness to leave, "fish, have you met your ex-boyfriend? If you really can't forget him, why don't you try again?"
Lu Yuzhou smiled and shook his head, "He doesn't need me anymore."
"Oh, this is really his loss." Lance hooked Lu Yuzhou's shoulder and patted him reassuringly, "If you feel lonely, you can treat me as your boyfriend, I swear I will definitely be better than you The boyfriend is considerate."
"Thank you, I think you are perfect except that you are not qualified as a boyfriend." When he came to the elevator, Lu Yuzhou pressed the up button of the elevator.
Lance was right when he thought about it, "That means, I'm perfect in front of you."
Lu Yuzhou smiled and nodded, "Yes, you are very optimistic."
The elevator stopped on the first floor, the elevator door opened, and several staff came out of it, one of them stared at Lu Yuzhou for a while, and suddenly said pleasantly, "Brother Yu Zhou!"
Lu Yuzhou was taken aback, and looked up at the person who called him. A young man in his 20s, with a small square face and a height of 1.8 meters. He didn't remember such a person in his social circle, "You know me?"
"You don't remember me, Brother Yu Zhou, I'm Hu Meng!" Hu Meng greeted her companions, and stayed to talk to Lu Yuzhou, "Where have you been all these years, why didn't you play with Brother Ye? "
"Hu Meng?" Lu Yuzhou was really shocked. He looked at Hu Meng's face again and again, it was completely different from his childhood appearance, "You should be graduating from university soon, did you study here?"
"Yeah, I just graduated this year, I studied stage design, and I have already started an internship. Except for the idiot Xiaoguang, all of us have passed the exam here, Brother Qi has a PhD in law, nothing else, we just do it for Take care of Brother Ye." Hu Meng was very happy to see Lu Yuzhou, and talked to him a lot.
"Take care? Is he okay?" Lu Yuzhou frowned.
"A bachelor who has no money, what's the matter, wandering around the world all day without a home, isn't he leaving again today, and asked me to go to his house to pick up his son to take care of him at night." Hu Meng wanted to chat with him for a while, but reluctantly returned He had a job, so he looked at the time and said, "Brother Yu Zhou, are you free tonight, may I treat you to supper?"
Lu Yuzhou's mind is a bit messed up, what does it mean to be a bachelor without money?Still wandering around the world without a home?He is not with Chen Yiming...
"Okay, I'll add you on WeChat." Lu Yuzhou put away his doubts and decided to have a good chat with Hu Meng at night.
The author has something to say: Lance wanted to see Wu in the last chapter was also a bug, it has been corrected.
