Lu Yuzhou never thought that one day he would have a face-to-face discussion with Zhao Zhiyan about Wu Ye.

Zhao Zhiyan's various appearances of jealousy of that little meat spirit back then were vividly remembered, so much so that when he saw Zhao Zhiyan now, he still felt a little cordial in his heart.

"Long time no see, President Zhao." Sitting on the sofa in Zhao Zhiyan's office, Lu Yuzhou leaned over to chat with him, "I'm sorry that Tangtang's piano lessons were interrupted because of me, is she still learning now?"

Zhao Zhiyan is still the same, mature and decent, and the traces of time are hardly visible on his face.He personally ground a cup of coffee for Lu Yuzhou, and put it in front of him, "She, she stopped learning a long time ago, and she was not satisfied with the piano teacher behind, so she changed to dance in a fit of anger."

Lu Yuzhou laughed, and did not continue the greetings.He picked up the coffee and took a sip, put it down, and said straight to the point: "I took the liberty to bother you today because of Wu Ye, do you know where he is?"

Zhao Zhiyan nodded, "I know."

Lu Yuzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to ask him the exact location, but Zhao Zhiyan said, "But I can't tell you, because I didn't have his permission."

Lu Yuzhou: "..."

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Zhao Zhiyan's resignation was an excuse or the real thing.Because he instinctively believed that neither Wu Ye nor Zhao Zhiyan would put him in the range that could not be said.

"Then how can you tell me?"

Zhao Zhiyan leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and replied in a very businesslike manner: "That depends on what you can give me."

Lu Yuzhou thought: I didn't think carefully, I forgot that I was talking to a businessman, not a friend.

Zhao Zhiyan's "attempt" towards him is nothing more than two things, one is affection, and the other is to enter their company.However, emotional matters have changed over time, and Lu Yuzhou believes that people like Zhao Zhiyan know how to stop losses when they are good, so they won't hold on to this.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhao, I still have no intention of entering the entertainment industry." Lu Yuzhou suppressed the excitement in his heart, and negotiated terms with the other party calmly and rationally, "But I can give you greater benefits, such as some foreign companies. resource."

Zhao Zhiyan looked at him for a while, then smiled, the young man who was ignorant of the world ten years ago had finally matured, knowing how to "conditionally" refuse one thing.

"You should know that I asked Wu Ye to come here for your sake." He looked at Lu Yuzhou, as if expecting his response.

Lu Yuzhou also laughed, and replied with a slap in the face: "My face is not practical. Wu Ye's fame and talent are what you want. If you have him, you will surely make money."

Zhao Zhiyan laughed out loud.

Lu Yuzhou turned to say sincerely, "However, I have to thank you for giving him a hand at a critical moment. I will keep this favor in my heart."

This is not being polite, Wu Ye's contract has not yet expired, so it is not up to him to decide where to go, and what kind of boss he meets is even more resigned to fate.If he meets another company that oppresses him like Yuan, he will have to endure another ten years.And Zhao Zhiyan's agreement with him is to share labor services, that is, within ten years, part of the money Wu Ye earns can be kept by himself.

Zhao Zhiyan said seriously: "Just now I was joking with you. Of course Wu Ye is very good. I was very optimistic about his talent back then, but it was a pity that Yuan Shi took the lead. However, favors belong to favors, I still can't tell you that he is in Well, that's what I promised him."

Lu Yuzhou froze for a moment, and finally determined that this was not Zhao Zhiyan's refusal, but that he really had an agreement with Wu.

And this person who promised not to tell... seems to be aimed at him?

After all, he and Zhao Zhiyan are fairly familiar, and Zhao Zhiyan also knows the relationship between the two of them, so he wouldn't be so unkind.

Lu Yuzhou suddenly wanted to be rude.

"Mr. Zhao is so principled, I am very glad." Lu Yuzhou said through gritted teeth, "You see, if this is not the case, Wu will also terminate the contract with you, including how much the copyright of all his songs will cost. If you set a price, he will transfer to In my name, I have the right to know where he is."

Zhao Zhiyan: "..."

Two days later, Lu Yuzhou boarded a plane to the northeast with Lance.

Lance insisted on following, because Zhao Zhiyan only gave him one route, and he didn't know where Wu Ye was. He was afraid that Lu Yuzhou's boyfriend would lose him before he caught up.And he made a strategy in advance and found that the line was very beautiful, and he ignited the desire to take pictures.

Originally, Lu Yuzhou couldn't wait. His heart was burning with fire, and he wanted to take the fastest transportation to get there and find him as soon as possible. However, under the influence of donkey friend Lan's various strategies, his mentality gradually calmed down.That route is indeed very beautiful. According to Wu Ye's preference, he will definitely take the slowest train to enjoy the scenery along the way, so why doesn't he slow down and ask for a chance encounter?

So Lu Yuzhou booked two regular express train tickets, got off the plane and went straight to the train station.

"I can't wait to experience the green leather train in China." Lance carried a set of photography equipment on his back, and his luggage was heavy. It looked like he was here for tourism. "I bet you never sat, fish."

"How do you know that I haven't sat down?" Not only did he sit, but he also sat with Wu Ye. I don't know why he said it with a little pride.

"Have you ever sat there?" Lance was quite surprised, but after thinking about it, he guessed who Lu Yuzhou was sitting with, "Your ex-boyfriend is quite romantic. I knew he was a man with a story in Paris." There is a very attractive temperament about him, no wonder his works can resonate with me.”

The word "ex-boyfriend" is getting more and more unpleasant, but Lu Yuzhou can't ask people to remove the word "former", after all, he really isn't his current boyfriend yet.

"You paid so much attention to him the first time you saw him. What do you want to do?" Lu Yuzhou felt that Comrade Lance was a dangerous person now. Ever since he knew that Wu Ye was his favorite songwriter, he was more excited to see him than him. "Don't make up his mind as soon as possible, I warn you."

"Appreciating beauty is a human instinct. Compared with him, I actually like you better." Lance wanted to survive and protect his body, talking nonsense solemnly.

Lu Yuzhou squinted at him, "Spare your life."

The departure time was relatively fast, and the two of them drove fast all the way, squeezing into the carriage in the last 2 minutes.There are a lot of people taking the train this season, and there are many standing people. The three-person seat can squeeze five people, and people who don't know each other can squeeze together to eat melon seeds and chat, just like entering a large tea party scene.

It was the first time in Lance's life that he saw such a life scene. He was so excited that he ignored the seat and picked up the camera to take pictures.

"Hey, don't get excited. Sit down later and take pictures slowly." Lu Yuzhou carried a bag on his back and pushed a giant baby who was focused on taking pictures.

But when they found their seats, they found that the seats had already been occupied.

There were two people occupying the seat, and the outermost one was a foreign man, who looked like a Russian. Lu Yuzhou said to him in English, "Sorry sir, you should be sitting in the wrong seat."

But the other party said in a very skilled Northeast: "Oh, don't blame the old man, the seats are more sought-after, and I just sat here because the seat was taken."

He got up and stood beside the seat to avoid it, and the elder brother inside also got up and made way for him, and he squatted down in the aisle.

Lu Yuzhou sat inside by the window, and Lance sat outside and fiddled with the SLR to take pictures. The Russian man's arms rested on the back of the seat naturally, without the slightest sense of strangeness when he met him for the first time.

"Do you use 1dx2 plus white cannon for travel?" He looked at Lance's camera in surprise, as if he knew photography well.

This model is a test of physical strength, it is relatively suitable for professionals, not suitable for travel.Lance is very amateur in photography, he only buys expensive equipment, and doesn't consider practicality.

"Yes, I just realized it's too heavy." Lance said helplessly.

The Russian man laughed loudly, "I'm still a novice, this is an overkill." As he spoke, he sat down on the little space left in Lance's seat, hooked Lance's shoulders enthusiastically, and squeezed his butt skillfully, In this way, the positions of the two people were naturally shared. "Idle is idle, let me teach you to become a veteran, old man."

Lance: "..."

Lu Yuzhou: "..."

Obviously, his buttocks were sitting firmly in the position, but somehow they were easily moved, making the two of them as unbearable as two plastic bottles.If it weren't for the carriages blocking it, Lu Yuzhou would have no doubt that he would be sitting on the ground right now.

This way of socializing is simply too barbaric. Lu Yuzhou's first reaction was shock, and the second reaction was shock. Judging from his perception, he couldn't accept such a thing anyway.

But then he realized that people in this environment seemed to be used to this way of getting along with each other—people from all over the world huddled together and chatted all over the world, and people who didn’t know each other could share a bag of melon seeds like close friends , chat enthusiastically, and even talk about some unsatisfactory things in life, and it seems easier to open up to strangers.

When you are in it, you will feel that, compared to the indifferent, distanced or purposeful social way in the city, such a warm and undefended social way between people is beautiful and natural.

Not long after, Lance chatted with this Russian man named Nabai. Even though they couldn't speak one language - one was fluent in English and Chinese, and the other was unfamiliar with tenth-level Northeast dialect English, they still had a good chat. I can't wait to worship on the spot.

As an observer, Lu Yuzhou laughed frequently. At first, he acted as an interpreter from time to time, but later he couldn't intervene at all, and even didn't need to intervene, because the two of them stumbled and seemed to understand, and it was also the fun of chatting.

He suddenly understood Wu Ye's obsession with the green leather train, and also understood why he could make so many friends in the world.He has known him for 20 years, had two periods of intimacy, and also had a period of trying to understand and approach him, thinking that he was standing in the depths of his heart.But at this moment, in this side of the train carriage, he suddenly realized: So this is the real step into Wu Ye's world.

"You are not tourists, at least Mr. Yu is not." Na Bai looked at Lu Yuzhou and said, "Which stop do you want to get off at?"

Lu Yuzhou nodded, affirming his conjecture, "I bought it at the last stop, but I'm not sure which stop we will get off at. We have no destination."

"He's here to chase after his lover." Lance held up the camera and suddenly turned his head, the camera was facing Lu Yuzhou's side face—maybe the scenery outside the window clicked several times, "I don't know where he is."

That's clear, "Why don't you go to my place? From the perspective of photography tourism, my place is the most valuable on this line." He showed Lance the photos on his mobile phone, "This is just us Isn’t the station there, Russian architectural style, beautiful?”

"Wow, beautiful!" Lance was instantly attracted, and immediately told Lu Yuzhou to go, "Anyway, we have no destination, why don't we try our luck, maybe he's there too?"

Lu Yuzhou had no objection. He originally planned to go to the destination city first, and then return along the route, looking for each city.There may be surprises in such a random search by chance.

So at the next stop, in the city where Nabai was, Lu Yuzhou and Lance got out of the car with Nabai.

The station is really beautiful. It is a yellow and white Russian-style building. Lance couldn’t wait to see it on the train. After getting off the train, he ran out of the station as soon as he got off the train. He adjusted the camera and started taking pictures. Even Lu Yuzhou took pictures with his mobile phone. I took several.

After filming for about 10 minutes, Na Bai led them to his own small shop, which is said to be in a small Russian town near the train station, only a [-]-minute walk away.

The town is unexpectedly beautiful. Rows of yellow and white Russian-style old houses complement each other with spring-like green plants, budding flowers, and white fences, as if stepping into a Russian landscape oil painting.

"All the people living here are Russians?" Lance held up his camera, taking pictures of beautiful scenery.

Nabai shook his head: "No, I'm basically a local. I came here to study and then stayed. I opened a small handicraft shop and also operated a hotel business."

"This kind of life is so interesting." Lance almost fell in love with this place, "fish, I don't want to go back."

Lu Yuzhou laughed, "It's not impossible, you can be a street performer here, earn some living expenses, and find a local girl or guy to live a romantic and comfortable life for a year or two. Lu, this is too in line with your living habits."

Lance: "..."

Bai Wenyan glanced at Lance, then laughed.

"Then you have to run away, the local girls and boys are not easy to mess with."

Lance: "..."

The small white shop is not small, it has a sizeable yard with yellow walls and black tiles, a white arched gate, a courtyard wall surrounded by white fences, blue wooden windows, and white birch trees that have just sprouted, From a distance, it looks like a thick and colorful oil painting.

"My God, is this living in a painting?" Lance couldn't help but sighed that he had earned it, "The place we decided to come to is full of surprises, right fish?"

Lu Yuzhou agrees: "Life is full of opportunities."

The main room of the house is Nabai's handicraft store, which is full of handicrafts, most of which are wood carvings, in addition to fabrics, clay sculptures, straw weaving, leather bags, etc. There are even two guitars hanging on the wall.

"Did you do this, Nabai?" Lance looked at Nabai with admiration in his eyes, "You are too capable!"

Lu Yuzhou stared at the two guitars for a while, and what appeared in his mind was the appearance of another person playing the guitar. "Then Bai, can you play the guitar?"

"Okay, but the premise is that you can play it. I don't want them to become exhibits that anyone can touch." Na Bai said.

"It's understandable, I can play it, but I can't play it well." Lu Yuzhou suddenly became more in awe, and decided not to spoil his treasure.

"I will, I will!" Lance raised his hand for instructions, "I am very professional and trust me."

That smiled in vain, folded his arms and waited and watched, "I can't see that you are versatile, I'm all ears."

In terms of music, Lance is indeed versatile. Except for the piano, Lu Yuzhou has nothing to compare with him.

Lance sat on a high stool with his guitar in his arms and played and sang an American country music piece, which matched the atmosphere here very well.Two guests from the next door came to hear the music. They leaned against the door, beat the time while listening, and hummed along from time to time.Lance got excited and sang two or three songs in succession.

During a very pleasant afternoon tea time, after Lu Yuzhou finished drinking a cup of coffee, he casually dialed Wu Ye's phone, but the phone was still turned off.

"Very good." After Lance put down the piano, Nabai applauded, "You are here for me, the second person who plays the guitar very well."

"There's still the first one?" Lance felt incredible. "Is it possible that you have a guitar master here? If you tell his name, I must know him."

Lance's self-confident stinky look is very cute. Nabai looked at him and smiled for a while and said, "He was still with me yesterday. I haven't seen him today. I don't know if he's gone. If he hasn't gone, you can listen to it yourself." listen."

"It's better he didn't leave, I will definitely make him the second." Lance snorted.

Na Bai arranged a double room for them, the room rate was very cheap, only fifty dollars a day, such a good atmosphere was simply too worth it.

Since he was looking for someone aimlessly, Lu Yuzhou simply turned time into a trip, treating it as an experience of the places he has traveled, and if he really can't find him, at worst, just wait patiently for him to go back.

After asking Nabai, there is a church worth visiting nearby, and all the streets in the town can be visited for free, so they packed their luggage and went out, planning to spend half an afternoon shopping.

The old street is not long, but every angle and every color block is art. There are many sketchers here. They are in the painting, and what they paint is another picture scroll.

A crowd of people gathered on the street, and there seemed to be street artists performing there. When Lance was taking pictures, Lu Yuzhou walked over to admire it.

The leisurely and languid guitar sound passed through the crowd, and gradually drifted into Lu Yuzhou's ears clearly. The sound made him inexplicably comfortable, and also had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Accidentally stepped on a listener's heel.

The other party screamed. The guitar player didn't know if he was shocked. He played a wrong note. Lu Yuzhou recovered and apologized to the girl he stepped on, "Sorry, I listened too much..." He left Guang accidentally glanced at the figure playing the guitar under the garden in the crowd, his voice froze, and he was stunned.

Life is full of not only encounters, but also chance encounters, frights, and surprises...

The girl who was stepped on didn't wait for the next words for a long time, and she was happy, "Aren't you fascinated by listening to it, you are in a trance."

Lu Yuzhou rubbed his nose in embarrassment, probably realizing how silly he looked now, and smiled again.His current mood is hard to describe, a little happy, a little sad, a little overwhelmed, and a little impulsive, wanting to go through the crowd and hug him.

"Sorry, it's really nice." He apologized to the girl, but his eyes were on Wu Ye.

Wu Ye was sitting on a bench with an acoustic guitar in his arms. He was wearing a black peaked cap, retro glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a beard around his chin. At first glance, he was a bit unrecognizable.The guitar playing method is also slightly different, with a more lazy and casual taste, like a cup of black tea in the afternoon, and like the drizzle outside the window, which can bring people from the hustle and bustle into a comfortable slow rhythm.

This piece is played impromptu, and Wu Ye usually improvises according to the feeling of the place where he plays, and leaves after playing.

Just now he was concentrating on the melody in his mind, and there was still a long section brewing in the future, but when Lu Yuzhou appeared, it was all messed up.Now his mind is blank, he just repeats the previous melody mechanically, and when he can't even find the previous key, he has to play an old piece that is convenient, but he keeps making mistakes.

He tried his best to pretend to be calm and played the whole piece, then put away the guitar, and the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only two or three people, probably looking forward to his return.

"You look like Xiao Ye." The girl who was stepped on by Lu Yuzhou kept staring at Wu Ye, "You are him, right?"

"Girl, you are not his fan." Wu also responded very calmly, probably encountering such situations often.

"I am, I really like him." The girl was sure.

Wu Ye: "He plays so badly, you can still like it?"

Lu Yuzhou almost laughed out loud.

The girl also hesitated, "...it seems to be the same, you are not as good at playing as he is, but you play pretty well...but you really look like him."

"Then you must have never met him face to face." Wu Ye slowly packed the guitar bag, "The person in front of the camera is very distorted, he must not be as good looking as me."

girl:"……"

Lu Yuzhou really couldn't hold back, he tilted his head and smiled for a long time.

Soon, the girl walked away with a suspicious face on her face, and only the two of them and a smear of the setting sun were left in this corner.

Lu Yuzhou walked up to Wu Ye, looked through the mottled lenses to meet his dodging eyes, he wanted to take off his hat, but held back.

"Why did you come here?" Wu Ye pinched the zipper of the guitar bag, and he didn't zip it up for the rest of the half day. He tried to stabilize his mind before turning his gaze to Lu Yuzhou.

"What do you think?" Lu Yuzhou was full of smiles, affectionate, every subtle expression was interpreting "I came to chase you and pick you up", but the reason was serious fate, "Of course it is the guidance of fate."

Wu Ye: "..."

What a good child, why did he become a hooligan after staying abroad for a few years!

"You're carrying such a big bag." Lu Yuzhou caught a glimpse of the mountaineering bag on the bench. It seemed that he was about to leave after releasing his charm, and he almost missed him. "You're still carrying a guitar, two shoulders How can it be enough, let me help you."

As he said that, he went to reach for Wu Ye's guitar bag, put his hand on the opponent's hand intentionally and naturally, and helped him to zip it up, "Sorry, can you give me a hand?"

Wu Ye: "..."

"You just came here, you must not have found a place to live yet, why don't you go to the hotel where I am, the conditions are not bad." Lu Yuzhou pulled the shoulder strap of the guitar bag, and the other party pulled the other, showing no intention of letting go.

"I'm leaving." Wu Ye forcibly packed up his excitement, tucked it in the corner, and looked at him calmly and even indifferently, "I missed it, let's play again next time, you..." He left When Guang saw Lance who was looking for him, his heart sank slightly, "...You guys have fun, this place is nice."

Lu Yuzhou took a panoramic view of his momentary loss, curled the corner of his mouth, "I have to tell you something."

Wu Ye: "?"

"Mr. Wu Ye, you officially left Xinghui Entertainment four days ago and transferred to my personal name, that is to say..." Lu Yuzhou took a step closer, put his toes on the opponent's toes, and smiled wickedly, "That is to say , Your next ten years will be arranged by me. Now, at this moment, I want you to stay."

Wu Ye: “……………………”
