A ten-year rival in love

This man called "Old Man Goriot" whose full name is Gauluch, is a Frenchman who is nearly fifty years old. It is said that he has been in China for more than ten years, and he speaks Chinese more authentically than his mother tongue.

He took Lu Hui and the others to the private room upstairs, and the upstairs and downstairs were two different worlds, with bustling European-style decorations, exquisite sculptures, and neatly arranged utensils.There are various oil paintings printed on the murals. Walking into the private room, there is a soft-looking oval-spherical sofa under the balcony by the window. Lu Hui threw himself on it, and the spheroid sank into a soft ball.There are thick tapestries hanging on the walls, and there are actually men's intertwined *s in the oil paintings on the west wall.

Li Xu: "..."

Will it really not be checked here?

"I heard that the blanket over there was shipped from Limousin in France. It's a famous work." Lu Hui said, "It really took a lot of effort to decorate it."

"..." Li Xu walked over to accompany Lu Hui and lay down on the sofa. He didn't know what material it was made of. The moment he lay down, he felt himself trapped in the cotton pile, giving him a warm and comfortable feeling.It's so comfortable that it makes you want to sleep, human beings, there is really anything for entertainment.

The wall clock in the corner rattled, and the noon sun came in from the window sill, lazily and without strength, only rendering a warm and brilliant light.

Lu Hui turned his head to look at Li Xu, Li Xu raised his face, his eyelashes trembling slightly, like a butterfly fluttering its wings in the sunlight.He reached out to touch it, and Li Xu opened his eyes before his fingers touched the eyelashes.

"...Huh?" Li Xu grabbed his hand, "What are you doing?"

"Your eyelashes are so long, I thought so before, very beautiful." Lu Hui's hand slid down Li Xu's palm, got into his shirt cuff, and rubbed gently.

Li Xu pulled his hand out helplessly. "Take it easy outside."

"Anyway, there are no outsiders." Lu Hui pouted, "This is originally a couple's box——"

There was a knock on the door.

Li Xu reminded him: "Now there are, outsiders."

A murderous look lit up on Lu Hui's face.

The steps of French cuisine are relatively complicated. Cold cuts, side dishes, soup, and staple food must be served one by one. There are fewer dishes and more plates. What you eat is romance and what you burn is money.

But it is precisely because romance is more expensive that it can be called romance. At this time, talking about money seems very vulgar.

There was a ten-year gap between them, so when they met again, they knew almost nothing about each other. Even after a few months of true and false love, Li Xu still didn't understand Lu Hui.

"How did you meet the boss here?"

Lu Hui poured a small glass of red wine and raised his eyebrows. "Old Man Gao? We met online. We were friends at first. Later, we had a good conversation, and we knew that the other party was in the entertainment consumption business...so we planned to develop into offline friends."

"Oh..." Li Xu said, "Friend."

Lu Hui smiled and asked, "What do you think it is?"

Li Xu looked down at the wine in the glass and remained silent.

"At that time, Qi'an hadn't left yet. He taught us a lot of business principles, and he was our mentor. His boyfriend is Chinese and he has a very good relationship. Unfortunately, his wife later got cancer. They had a make-up one in France two years ago. The wedding, and passed away not long after returning."

Li Xu remembered Yin Huishan's words: How many years later?What about ten years later?Can you hold out until then?At that time, can you still confidently say that you made the right choice?

Where will he and Lu Hui go?

"I think that if a person is going to die, two people have to die together, and one cannot be left alone to make the other person sad." Lu Hui sighed and took another sip of his wine.

What if I die?Li Xu suddenly wanted to ask this question, but he held back, pretending not to hear his words, and turned his gaze elsewhere.

They sat down on the spherical sofa after eating and drinking, and Lu Hui told him anecdotes he had encountered when he went to France at the beginning of the year.

"...Later we went to Paris. Isn't there a concentric lock bridge there? It is said that the locks on it weighed almost [-] tons. The government urged everyone to reduce the burden on the bridge every day. It was useless. But I left later. When it was time, someone secretly hung a lock on it."

"With whom?" Li Xu asked.

Lu Hui liked Li Xu's intentionally pretending to be a bit jealous. He was very into the drama, and immediately raised his hand to swear: "There is no one else but me and old man Gao! You have to believe me!"

"Yeah." Li Xu didn't bother about it, he asked, "What happened next?"

Lu Hui's desire to perform was interrupted as soon as he got up, and he couldn't react, "What happened later?"

Li Xu: "It's locked, and then what?"

"Later, I asked old man Gao to hang it too. The old man said that they had already hung it up, and he took me to look for it one by one. The police stopped him and said that some parts of the bridge were broken, so we should not wander around."

"He told me that what he wrote was 'bless my lover to be healthy forever and have no troubles', but it didn't seem to be very effective. At least not as effective as what I wrote."

Li Xu's voice also seemed to be stuck in the sofa, becoming very lazy: "Huh? What did you write?"

As expected, upon hearing Li Xu's question, Lu Hui couldn't control the joy overflowing in his heart.He pulled back the messy hair on Li Xu's forehead, revealing his smooth forehead.

"I hope to be reunited with the one I love."

Hope to meet the one I love again.Breathing the cold air of Paris, Lu Hui stuffed the plain but small white strip of hope into the lock, and looked for one that could fill the lock among the piles of rusty iron locks. Under the vacant place.

The moment he buckled the lock, a passing angel probably heard his wish and decided to give this foreign young man a chance.

Li Xu's new car was only let go after Lu Hui inspected it meticulously, and he swiped his card to pick it up.

"Where's the tripod?" Lu Hui asked while fueling up the car, "If the car doesn't pass the inspection at that time, won't it be a waste of time?"

The clerk quickly apologized and said he was sorry, but he forgot when he was busy just now.Lu Hui curled his lips, and silently put this store into the blacklist in his heart.

"When you first came to buy a car, who bought it with you? I always feel that you don't care at all.... Forget it, the Volkswagen you bought was a model hundreds of years ago." On the way back, They sat in the new car together, Lu Hui stretched his hands and feet, and asked, "How does it feel?"

"It's okay." Li Xu said, "A little unskilled."

He suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Hui asked, "What good thing did you think of?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that I might be able to get rid of my old antique identity?"

Lu Hui suppressed a smile: "Old Antique? You can really position yourself."

Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed a person who was out of touch with the times before, and it would not be wrong to say that he is an old antique.

"But how should I put it..." Lu Hui held his chin, "I really like you, um, old-fashioned. When you are serious, you are very serious, and when you are not serious, you are also very serious."

Li Xu gave him a supercilious look in his heart.

They parked the car in the garage and went upstairs one after the other.Lu Hui told him that he wanted to buy some small decorations, closed the door behind him, and threw himself on him.

"worn out."

Li Xu didn't push him away, and let him drag behind him to act coquettishly. He looked around, but he didn't see Jiujiu, which was a bit strange.

Jiujiu likes to sleep on the sofa the most. That cushion is his royal pillow, and even Li Xu is not allowed to touch it.

He asked Lu Hui, "You—"

Before they finished speaking, Li's mother's voice came from behind them: "Xuzi!"

His back became stiff and straight in an instant, and cold sweat broke out slowly.Lu Hui felt it, and he was also taken aback. The hand that was about to get into Li Xu's clothes stopped in place.

Li's mother said: "You came back so soon, why did you let Xiao Lu see you off? You child, really, don't bother others!"

Li Xu pushed Lu Hui away with trembling fingers, and asked calmly, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Isn't the temperature dropping fast this year? I'm worried that you can't take good care of yourself, and you forgot to add warm clothes." Li's mother looked as usual, and it seemed that she didn't know about their little actions just now. "I just went to look in your closet, and it's still the third old piece from last year! If I don't come to take a look, are you going to run naked on the street this winter?"

Only then did Li Xu's desperate heartbeat calm down, and he and Lu Hui looked at each other, seeing luck in each other's eyes.

"Sit down, little Lu! Don't just stand there!" Mother Li smiled kindly, "I'll pour you a cup of tea."

"No, Auntie, don't be so busy...I'll leave after sitting down for a while." Lu Hui grabbed the pole and began to climb along, "If you want to pour tea, you have to ask Li Xu to pour it, how can I let you do it!"

"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with pouring tea." Li's mother stopped beside Lu Hui with a smile. "Where did you come back from?"

Lu Hui casually babbled about some real and fake things, in a daze, he turned himself into Li Xu's driver and assistant, and made Li's mother a little dazed.

"Let me tell you, you two brothers have such a good relationship..." Li's mother said, "I'm almost wearing a pair of pants."

It's not just a pair of trousers... Lu Hui said in his heart, which pair of trousers of your son has not been taken off by me?

"Mom." Li Xu said, "Next time, don't come in so suddenly, tell me first, it will be very embarrassing if my tenant is at home."

Li's mother said "ah": "Oh, look at my memory! I forgot that you told me that you rented the house to others! I said why there was an extra cat in the house when I came in today... ...Run away when you see me, hide in the house and never come out, is it your tenant?"

Li Xu wiped the sweat from the fright on his forehead: "...Yes."

"Keeping a cat... This cat is easy to dirty the house, you have to tell your tenant well, don't make the house smell bad." Li's mother said, "The cat is also easy to shed hair, and it is troublesome to clean up."

Li Xu couldn't say anything at this time, so he could only respond: "Yeah."
