Indiscriminate

Qin Ruo bent down, hugged Shi Shilei into his arms, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, wondering when this winter will really pass.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot, Fu Qinruo woke up Shi Shilei who was sleepy.

The few colleagues who accompanied him looked at him with a little worry, and on the contrary, they all looked at Fu Qinruo with a bit of uncertainty.

Shi Shilei climbed out of the car, as if he hadn't recovered yet, and leaned against Fu Qinruo in a daze, his eyes were dull, and he didn't know if he heard what they said clearly.

"Go back and pay attention to rest." Li Jun couldn't help worrying seeing him so lost.

Shi Shilei wiped his face, his gaze still seemed unfocused, and asked, "Where's my camera?"

Seeing that he still remembered this incident, Li Jun hurriedly handed him the camera that he had memorized.He sighed, looked at Fu Qinruo at the side, showing some dissatisfaction, and said, "Take care of me!"

Fu Qinruo nodded.

He stared at him for a long time, finally lost his breath, held his forehead and said, "I really can't stand you literati! Go, go, you're blind!"

Shi Shilei glanced at him indifferently, and walked out by himself with the camera behind his back.

"Thank you." Fu Qinruo didn't forget to say before chasing, "Apologize to Director Zhao for me."

Shi Shilei wiped it several times but still didn't wipe off the tears, he always felt that there were marks on his face.His body was weak, and he had more or less symptoms of hypoxia. He walked out of the scenic spot without looking back, and his arm was suddenly grabbed by Fu Qinruo who was chasing up.

"Let go!" Shi Shilei struggled unhappily.

Fu Qinruo had no choice but to let go, saying: "You went by the wrong way, my car is over there."

Shi Shilei stopped abruptly and looked in the direction he pointed, only to see an SUV parked alone in the parking lot. "Driving this kind of car, how cool is it?" As if everything could touch his back, Shi Shilei rolled his eyes at him, and walked quickly to the car.

Before he got there, Fu Qinruo had already unlocked the car first.

Seeing the flashing lights, Shi Shilei opened the door of the passenger seat and jumped on it.

Not long after, Fu Qinruo also got into the car, removed the camera and put it aside, and reminded: "Seat belt."

Shi Shilei took down his camera without saying a word or moving.

"Shi Shilei." Fu Qinruo frowned.

As soon as he heard him call his name, Shi Shilei lost his temper and yelled, "What's wrong with me? You can't drive? Slip off the mountain road and die!"

"Martyrdom?" Fu Qinruo asked.

Hearing this, Shi Shilei was taken aback for a moment, turned his head to look at him, then immediately turned around to support his head with both hands, leaned over and kissed him forcefully.

Fu Qinruo grasped the steering wheel tightly, his mind went blank.

Shi Shilei bit his lip, listened to his pained sound contentedly, let go of him, licked the blood on his lips, and gave him a vicious look.

He stared at him for a long time, wiped off the blood on his lips with his fingertips, and sighed quietly.

"Why are you sighing?" Shi Shilei just couldn't get along with him everywhere.

If Fu Qin didn't reply, he helped him fasten his seat belt without saying a word.

Shi Shilei's chest heaved, his legs kicked the ground restlessly, but he left the car without taking off his seat belt.Fu Qinruo watched him move around for a while, and suddenly felt a little funny in his heart.

Looking at his childishness, Fu Qinruo forgot the pain at the corner of his mouth, wiped a few drops of blood on Shi Shilei's nose with his fingertips.

Smelling the smell of blood, Shi Shilei widened his eyes and turned to stare at him dissatisfied.

Fu Qinruo smiled, leaned over and kissed the tip of his nose, and after sucking off the blood and sweat on it, he bit his teeth lightly.

Shi Shilei was shocked, and after he sat back, he slapped the horn several times.The sound echoed in the empty mountain forest, especially piercing and clear.

"This is a girl playing the ukulele in Zhongguancun. This is a modern dancer who is stretching her legs. I took it when I was in Hong Kong Chinese. And this one, does it look familiar? Your teacher Chen Ran." Shi Shilei pointed at the camera , leaned towards Fu Qinruo, and said excitedly, "When he was filming "Qian Kun", I was with the team. Tsk, he was having an affair with a little girl."

Fu Qinruo turned to look at his flushed face, raised his hand, stroked his cheek with the back of his hand, and asked, "Do you want to wipe something? Your skin is dry."

Shi Shilei was taken aback, grabbed Fu Qinruo's shirt and put it on his body, got out of bed and dangled around the room, asking, "Where do you keep your skin care products?"

"It's in the cabinet of the dressing table." Fu Qinruo looked at the two long white legs under his shirt, and raised the camera.

Shi Shilei opened the jar, dug out a large piece of moisturizing cream with his fingers and applied it to the back of his hand, and moved his ears—he heard the sound of focusing.He wrinkled his nose, turned his head, and made a big grimace at the camera at the moment the shutter sounded.

"Crack!"

Fu Qinruo raised his eyes from behind the camera, the light in his eyes was transparent, and he said with a smile, "What's the difference between you being like this and not wearing any clothes?"

Shi Shilei blinked, ran over, jumped up, and straddled him on his waist.

"Aw..." Fu Qinruo's waist sank, and the old pain, which was already sore, was even more painful at this time.Before he stretched his brows and eyes, he saw Shi Shilei apply a large amount of cream on his left and right cheeks from the back of his hand.

Then, he knelt down, and pressed his dry and flushed cheeks to his side, and the breath flowing past his ear was smiling, and he asked slowly, "What's the difference, do you think?"

Fu Qinruo smiled and rolled his eyes away.

"It's so cold!" Shi Shilei screamed and got back under the quilt with bare legs.He turned his hands and wiped the remaining cream on his face, spread it randomly on his face, smoothed it along the contours of his facial features to absorb it, and finally patted his face.

Fu Qinruo looked at him thoughtfully from the side, causing him to look sideways.

"Let me wipe it for you." Shi Shilei held his face in his hands, spreading the sweet-smelling cream on his fingertips.

It seems to be the fragrance of peach blossom and cardamom, like spring.

He touched Fu Qinruo's gradually warming face, and carefully stroked with his fingertips the center of his brow that was often frowning.

Fu Qinruo stared at him intently, with light and a smile lingering in his eyes.

Shi Shilei was uncomfortable seeing him, so he slowly knelt up, bent down and kissed his eyes...

"It is said that long, long ago, Dago, the lover of the goddess Wonosum, gave her a mirror for dressing. Wonuo accidentally broke the mirror into one hundred and eight pieces, and the pieces became one hundred and eight pieces. Eight colorful lakes fell in Jiuzhaigou." Shi Shilei stretched out his hands from under the quilt, held up his bulky camera, and showed Fu Qinruo the photos stored in it, "The first time I came, it was still autumn. At that time, the crew had just started filming, and all the scenes where the heroine traveled across mountains and rivers to find the heroine were rushing to shoot. Look at these maple leaves, cosmos, and reeds. I especially like the sea of ​​reeds. I took a car back there by myself. At that time, the reeds had turned pale yellow, and when the wind blew, the reed flowers flew on the lake, like water marks left by splashed ink."

Fu Qinruo looked at a series of photos of Lu Weihai and murmured, "You took a lot of these."

"Yeah." Shi Shilei nodded, turned his head and smiled at him slyly, "I still climbed down the plank road."

He looked at him in surprise.

Shi Shilei blinked triumphantly, but after a while, his smile fell silent. "The reeds grow very tall, almost taller than me. I also saw swans... At that time, I had a very strange illusion. I felt that everything in the sea looked like you."

Fu Qinruo thumped in his heart.

"The reeds are like you, the swans are like you, and the lake surface rippling with wind is like you..." Shi Shilei stopped suddenly when he said this, and after a while he said stiffly, "It's a pity that it's not you. "

Hearing his quiet voice, Fu Qinruo stretched out his finger and touched the reed in the photo.

Shi Shilei suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong?" he asked inexplicably.

Shi Shilei put the camera aside, held his hand and said, "Your hands are so pretty."

Fu Qinruo was puzzled.

"It's like peeling onion roots. Look, your fingertips are still pink like peach blossoms." After finishing speaking, Shi Shilei pulled her over and kissed on her knuckles.

Fu Qinruo wanted to say that he had seen it before, but for some reason, he couldn't even say such words.

After Shi Shilei kissed, she crawled along his arm and curled up into his arms.

After thinking for a long time, Fu Qinruo asked, "Have you been to many places in recent years?"

"Huh?" He looked up.

He thought for a while and said, "Director Zhao said that you were following his crew for a year or two."

"Yeah." Shi Shilei nodded, counting carefully, "I went to Tang Yingliang's studio before graduation. Didn't he have his own independent studio and often shoot stars and models? That's very profitable. I'm in In his studio, he learned how to take pictures and made money at the same time. At that time, the things he took were food and small commodities, and he couldn’t take pictures of people when he was working. So I also took some private invitations. I learned to shoot people little by little. The boss once saw the portraits I took, and started asking me to take pictures of celebrities.”

When he said it, his expression was calm and breezy, but there was also some contentment of success.Fu Qinruo looked at him with a gratified gentleness in his eyes.

Shi Shilei didn't pay attention, he sighed, and said, "At the end of the year before last, he got divorced, and the studio was given to his ex-wife as a personal property. I was poached to Man Luo, and since then I have been in constant contact with celebrities." He shrugged the last words as though they were passing by.

Fu Qinruo said: "I can see that Director Zhao likes you very much."

"Yes, I took good pictures!" Speaking of this, Shi Shilei couldn't help but feel complacent, and said mysteriously, "Many celebrities like me to take pictures for them. Like Li Mingjin, Cen Hongxi, Sun Ming, even He Yi Ru, he also appointed me to take stills for him. Unlike your Teacher Chen, who treats people indifferently. Tsk, everyone is GAY, what’s so great about him, he looks down on people.”

Fu Qinruo couldn't help laughing when he saw the way he sneered at the actor.

Shi Shilei was upset when he thought of it, curled his lips, raised his eyes to look at him, and asked: "Could it be... What did you have with your teacher Chen, so he doesn't want to see me?"

He quickly shook his head and denied, "No."

"So simple?" Shi Shilei looked in disbelief, sighed, and said, "Forget it, it's all in the past."

Fu Qinruo saw that he was just posturing and did not make excuses, so he smiled lightly.

Shi Shilei curled up his legs, leaned against the head of the bed, looked at the mountains outside the window, and murmured: "The view here is really good."

"If you like it, you can live there forever." Fu Qinruo said.

He shrugged and said lazily: "Forget it, I don't want people to say that I was adopted."

Hearing this, Fu Qinruo was slightly taken aback.

Shi Shilei's shoulders were also stiff, and he quickly turned around and said, "That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" He asked with a smile.

Shi Shilei was discouraged, lowered his head, and murmured: "It's nothing."

Feeling helpless, Fu Qinruo found some clothes and put them on.Before getting out of bed, Shi Shilei grabbed the hem of his shirt.

He was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw Shi Shilei looking at him pitifully, with a red nose, and whispered, "Brother Qinruo..."

Seeing this, Fu Qinruo was slightly startled, smiled and twisted his face, and said, "I'm going to get the sketchbook."

Shi Shilei looked at his back helplessly, his eyes suddenly became hot.

He hugged his head, wiped his hot cheeks several times for a while, and when Fu Qinruo sat back, he suddenly raised his head and stared closely at his eyes.

Fu Qinruo opened the sketchbook, turned to the page with the red leaves, saw the poems and cold-elimination pictures that had all been melted, and said, "Let me draw a new one for you."

Shi Shilei looked at him suspiciously for a long time, and said, "Come and draw on the bed."

He thought for a while and nodded.

Shi Shilei leaned against his hand, watching him use the hotel's pen to dip the ink, and outline the tree trunk and branches stroke by stroke.

He watched his painting quietly, no one spoke, only the sound of the pen sliding across the drawing paper in the room.

Fu Qinruo started to draw the first plum blossom, and suddenly asked: "Are you still writing?"

Shi Shilei was fascinated by the sight, but was slightly taken aback when he heard it.He avoided Fu Qinruo's gaze, shook his head, and whispered, "I won't write any more."

As if he had expected this, Fu Qinruo didn't show any disappointment, and asked again: "What about painting? Do you still want to paint?"

"I didn't draw much in the first place." Shi Shilei admitted reluctantly.

Fu Qinruo nodded.

He didn't ask any more questions, and continued to carefully draw the picture of dispelling the cold.Shi Shilei didn't know that Fu Qinruo's hard-tipped pen was so good. Looking at it, he put his arm around his arm, rubbed it on his shoulder, and said, "I haven't written poems or lyrics for a long time. No more chapters.”

"En." He nodded, Er Qing, and smiled, "Didn't you still write during the winter solstice?" He said, and he turned to the previous page.

Before he could open it, Shi Shilei immediately pressed it down with his hand, preventing that page from opening.

The two remained in a stalemate for a few seconds.

Shi Shilei let go of his hand first, but Fu Qinruo didn't turn out the seven words on that page.

"Now I just take some not-so-popular photos to make money, and I don't do anything arty. I'm not the Shi Shilei you liked before, do you still like me?" Shi Shilei asked seriously.

Fu Qinruo looked at him, with some puzzlement, and said, "I love you."

Does this count as answering the question?Shi Shilei looked at him blankly.

"When I fell in love with you, you were like this." Fu Qinruo stopped writing and said intently, "You haven't changed, how could I stop loving you?"

Shi Shilei followed the car into the mountain early in the morning. When he saw the director, he learned that there were not many scenes today, and they were all unsatisfactory shots before reshoots, so they could be taken back and screened.

"New camera?" Zhao Wenfang looked at his camera and asked knowingly.

He shrugged and said, "Borrowed."

Perhaps it was to give Shi Shilei a chance to try out the camera he had just borrowed and finish shooting the necessary shots. The director told the actors in the group that if they needed to take additional stills, they could go to Haizi with Shi Shilei's team to take pictures.

After disappearing for most of the day and being busy all morning, Li Jun, who had watched Shi Shilei being taken away, finally had a chance to catch him and ask what happened.

Shi Shilei looked down at the viewfinder, and the tall figure of a secluded hermit in green clothes was reflected on the water surface. With the lake surface as the dividing line, the blue sky, solemn mountains and quiet youths were all presented like a mirror.Shi Shilei didn't even need to turn on the light, just taking advantage of the noon sky, Shi Shilei took photos without a trace of dust.

He took an extra set of photos for the male lead, but he was eccentric as a joke by Li Mingjin, who is the female lead.Shi Shilei turned her head and saw that she was wearing a ethereal skirt and a military overcoat, her eyes looked particularly bright.

She wanted to fight back with words, but Shi Shilei turned around and pressed the shutter before she had time to put on an expression.

"Uh..." Li Mingjin was embarrassed for a moment, leaning against his hand to see the image, brushing away the hair sticking to her cheek with her fingertips, she couldn't help laughing.

Hearing her sniffing, Shi Shilei asked softly, "Have you caught a cold?"

"A little bit." She compared her fingers, blinked her eyes twice, and asked, "Will you take a picture for me? If you don't, I'll go back."

Shi Shilei couldn't help laughing when he saw this celebrity whom he had followed for more than half a year.When she said this, there was no coquettishness, her words were taken for granted, and it seemed that her heart was as bright as her face that never wore heavy makeup.She looks more like an ordinary girl than a celebrity—a girl who looks much better than ordinary girls.

"Do you need to shoot more?" Shi Shilei asked the actor.

Because he knew he was gay, the actor didn't like Shi Shilei.He was willing to come out to shoot stills with Shi Shilei after the re-shooting was done. It was purely lobbying by his manager. He shook his head and said lightly, "Thank you."

Shi Shilei knew that he would be like this, so he asked unnecessary questions.Seeing him leave, Shi Shilei's face showed a relaxed expression of success, but when he raised his eyes, he found that Li Mingjin was watching him.

She put her hands in the military coat, and the moment their eyes met, both of them couldn't help laughing.

"I'll help you take a group of beautiful photos, so that you have something to tell your fans." Shi Shilei blinked, leaned closer to her and said, "But, can you do me a favor?"

Li Mingjin raised her eyebrows, nunu her mouth, and said, "Talk about it first."

Shi Shilei held the camera and whispered in her ear.As she listened, her whole face turned into disbelief.

"Thank you." After finishing speaking, Shi Shilei carefully tidied her messy hairband and said with a smile.

If Fu Qin didn't know the agreement between Shi Shilei and Li Mingjin before he came to Wuhuahai, otherwise he wouldn't show a completely stunned expression when the makeup artist stopped him to do the styling.

Seeing his completely dull face, Li Mingjin covered his sleeves and said with a smile: "Senior is so cute!"

"I won't shoot." Fu Qinruo frowned slightly, and refused in a rare way.However, Shi Shilei stood by the plank road, looking down at the viewfinder, looking for the scenery that best reflects him, but there was no reply at all, so Fu Qinruo had to say again, "Shi Shilei, did you hear that? I won't take pictures."

Shi Shilei waved his hand without turning his head, and said, "I didn't hear that."

He sighed, but didn't get up from the chair.

Li Mingjin sat beside him with her chin resting, watching him being manipulated by her own stylist, and said, "I finished work yesterday, and I went back to look for your work. Except for the advertisement three years ago, you only took pictures of Director Zhao's." MV? Although there are not many shots of you in that MV, I think you are more suitable to be the leading actor in this movie."

Fu Qinruo lowered his eyes and said quietly after a long while: "I won't be filming anymore."

She blinked, puzzled by his decision.But she thought about it, and smiled calmly: "Yes. People still do what they like to do, and like who they like."

Hearing this, Fu Qinruo was surprised.He tilted his head thoughtfully, looking up at his school girl.

"You look like a person." Fu Qinruo couldn't help saying.

Li Mingjin asked curiously, "Who?"

"His ex-girlfriend." I thought Shi Shilei was so focused on framing the scene that he didn't listen to them at all, but he didn't expect him to say this sentence suddenly.

Fu Qinruo was slightly taken aback, and looked up at him.

Shi Shilei wrinkled his nose at him, looked up and down Fu Qinruo who had already put on a Confucian robe, curled his lips, walked over and said: "Forget it, for the sake of your good looks, I forgive you " After that, he pulled Fu Qinruo up and straightened his hairpin for him, "The wind stopped, the sky turned blue, and the sun came out. I'll wait for you."

Fu Qinruo was arranged by him to the end of the plank road, a piece of magnificent waterside.

As Shi Shilei has always known, no matter how taciturn he usually looks, Fu Qinruo who walks into the camera can speak.But he doesn't need to utter a single syllable, just standing still, it is already a thousand words.

What to say?

It is the breeze in the mountains flowing through the tops of the trees, and it is also the sparkle outlined by the small fish under the calm water.

"It's a pity not to film." Li Jun watched with folded arms and commented frequently with several other people.

Shi Shilei didn't listen to what they said, and ran to Fu Qinruo's side, bent down to help him straighten his clothes, saw that Fu Qinruo was about to speak again, and immediately opened his palms, "Five photos, just five more photos. "

Fu Qinruo laughed and said, "You know I don't like taking pictures."

"Then you are still shooting commercials." Shi Shilei puffed up his cheeks, then stretched out the other side in a blink of an eye and said, "Ten pictures, ten more pictures will be fine." He paused, and immediately grabbed his sleeve and begged, "Brother Qinruo~"

Fu Qinruo asked: "Why do you like shooting so much?"

"You look good!" Shi Shilei suddenly thought of something, put his hands to his mouth, breathed, rubbed them, and muttered, "Is it cold? Hold on a little longer. I will only take twenty pictures " Before he could speak, Shi Shilei hugged him, "Nuan Nuan, Nuan Nuan, I love you the most."

From the beginning to the end, Fu Qinruo didn't even have a chance to say a few more words in his appeal, Shi Shilei had already let go of him, and ran back to his original place.

He didn't know that even his helplessness was recorded in the camera by Shi Shilei after turning around.

"Look at it, learn it!" Li Jun reminded the few novices who were watching dumbfounded, but he poked Shi Shilei's back with his elbow and muttered, "Hey, you two, who Zero who one?"

Shi Shilei took the photo seriously, but said: "What does it have to do with you?"

Li Jun was stunned for a moment, and his face twitched, "Can you stop being so polite? Is it sour?" Seeing that he didn't reply, he wentssiped again, "It's good to see him. Other things Not to mention, this appearance is first-class, and so is the family background! ——Hey, you are on good terms with him again, our studio will stay in his hotel for business trips in the future, is there any discount?"

"If he can't make money, what should I eat?" Shi Shilei pressed the shutter button and said coldly.

"Hey! Are you really being taken over by him again?" Li Jun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it really that good?"

Shi Shilei focused on looking down at Fu Qinruo in the viewfinder, but did not answer, but a shallow arc formed at the corner of his mouth.This is a smile, very simple, but it is a compliment that is a hundred times better than any kind words.

After shooting this group of ancient costumes, it was already sunset, but Shi Shilei didn't think it was enough.The stars had already returned to the hotel in the nanny car, and he urged his attendants away, while he and Fu Qinruo walked down the mountain along the plank road.

Some students were worried before leaving, and told them to be careful of snow after the sun went down.

Shi Shilei thought that it would be good if it snowed. He has been here for so many days, and the snow that was filmed in the crew was artificial snow.

Fu Qinruo, who has changed back to modern attire, is still worthy of Shi Shilei's shooting again and again.He walked in front, heard the clicking sound of focusing behind him, walked behind, saw Shi Shilei walking backwards, and gave him the task of looking ahead, and his eyes, his lens, gradually became the same as Shi Shilei. Qin Ruo couldn't help smiling from time to time.

"Fu Qinruo, we are not going out of the mountains tonight, so we can stay in a hotel in the village, okay? I haven't stayed in a Tibetan house before." Shi Shilei looked at him in the viewfinder as the sky gradually darkened, The lens is covered.

Putting his hands in the pockets of his down jacket, he nodded in agreement and said, "It's up to you. Do you still have work tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, I'll just wait for them here." After speaking, Shi Shilei smiled with satisfaction at this perfect decision.

Fu Qinruo also smiled, and when the smile faded away, he somewhat showed his inherent melancholy, and said, "Then let's stay here tonight."

But Shi Shilei saw something was wrong, walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Huh?" Fu Qinruo rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said, "I'm going back to Beijing before tomorrow afternoon, and there's a shareholder meeting the day after tomorrow."

Sure enough, Shi Shilei was stunned.

Fu Qinruo smiled regretfully, thought for a while, and said, "I want to make money for you to spend." He said what he had accidentally heard before.

"Who wants to spend your money?" Shi Shilei glared at him.He lowered his head and kicked the stone beside the mountain road, his eyes followed the stone to the side of the road.

Seeing him running to the side of the road, Fu Qinruo broke off three stalks from the clump of dogtail grass that were almost withered, buried his head and started weaving.

They walked on the mountain road, silent and did not talk any more.

Shi Shilei devoted himself to weaving, but the grass is not as tough as before after winter.Fu Qinruo saw that he had been making it up for a long time but hadn't finished it, so he stretched out his hand.

He gave him the half-woven grass.

"Then let's go back by car." After a long time, Shi Shilei muttered.

Fu Qinruo looked up suspiciously when he heard the words.

"In autumn, I was in Chengdu. I picked a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus, and it was already dried." Shi Shilei asked, "Are you going back to see your grandparents? Help me take them back to them."

He stood still, with a slight frown between his brows.It turned out that he had always thought that no matter whether it was possible or not, he would return to him sooner or later.

Shi Shilei smiled and stretched out his left hand.

The grass branches are woven into one, bent into a circle, and tied into a knot.Fu Qinruo took his hand and put the finished straw ring on his ring finger.

The assistant tidied up the annual report and the new quarterly planning report, piled them up on the desk, and tilted his head to watch the contracts and agreements that Fu Qinruo signed one by one.When she saw the old lady pouring tea for herself, she widened her eyes and hurriedly said in panic, "Thank you, old lady, I'm really... sorry, sorry..."

"Pfft, what's wrong with that?" Grandma Fu smiled at the little girl who was pale with shock, and said, "Stay for dinner and buy vegetables."

How dare the assistant make a mistake?Shaking his head again and again, he was extremely embarrassed, and said, "You're welcome, old lady, I have to go back to Hangzhou to catch a plane. These things have to appear at the meeting at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, it's really impossible."

Fu Qinruo signed the last agreement, picked up the private seal, looked down at her, and said to grandma: "Let her go back."

Grandma smiled helplessly, and said to the little girl, "Come early next time, and we can have lunch together."

The assistant packed up the things and hugged them all at once, not quite getting used to the old lady's kindness and hospitality.She blushed and smiled and agreed: "Then I'll go back first. Young Director, if you have any orders, please call me."

"Be careful on the road." Fu Qinruo nodded.

She arrived at the house in the afternoon, holding a pile of materials that Fu Qinruo needed to review and give advice before the meeting tomorrow, and left in those flat-toed low-heeled leather shoes before the smoke rose from every house.

Fu Qinruo rested his chin and watched her bow her head and tuck her broken hair behind her ears when she crossed the threshold. She felt that her formal suit in a western skirt was incompatible with this gate, but she was also vaguely cute.

"A student who just graduated?" Grandma asked curiously when she saw her for the first time.

He nodded, stood up with his desk, and said, "I'll go out to get the evening paper, and I'll make dinner with you when I come back."

Grandma Fu smiled and nodded.

Not only did he get the evening paper, Fu Qinruo opened the envelope hanging at the door, and there was a kraft paper envelope lying quietly inside.After taking it out, Fu Qinruo had already recognized Shi Shilei's handwriting before he got it in front of his eyes.

He stepped over the high threshold, tucked the newspaper under his arm, and tore open the envelope.

It was empty inside, at first Fu Qinruo thought Shi Shilei forgot to put the letterhead in, but when he opened the seal and looked in, he found it was an eight-line letterhead.Fu Qinruo went to Grandpa's study, put the evening paper on the bamboo chair by the door, and carefully took out the letterhead.

Looking at it, Shi Shilei's dignified lowercase script is what catches the eye. The strokes are exquisite, the words are quiet and quiet, but the content is lingering——

The wood falls and the sky is clear, and the stars suddenly disappear.

Autumn and winter divide this night, and the wind and rain separate my notes.

Fate is sent to the mind, and the heart hangs from the farewell.

How to pass on dreams and sleep, upside down to the king.

Fu Qinruo stood in front of the court and read the signature two or three times.He put the letter away and put it in the recently copied "Taishang Laojun Said Chang Qing Jing Sutra", remembering that he still had to help prepare dinner, put the scriptures away and went to the kitchen.

Originally, grandma thought that Fu Qinruo's assistant would stay at home for dinner, so she bought more vegetables, but it was cheaper for Fu Qinruo, and the dinner was bigger than usual.

Fu Qinruo rolled up his sleeves, chopped the fresh pork ribs into chunks, and threw them into the nearby bowl.

From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of grandma opening the chest of drawers, and he asked curiously, "What seasoning do you want?"

"It's not any seasoning." Grandma put a large glass jar on the table and put it away, wiped the dust off it with a rag, and said, "Aren't you going back to Xitang tomorrow? Take this jar of sweet-scented osmanthus sauce back to eat. "

The sweet-scented osmanthus sauce is made from fresh osmanthus flowers that Fu Qinruo went to pick in the old house last autumn. It was too late, and only such a large jar was made of the best ones after screening.Fu Qinruo put the cutting board in the sink to wash it, and said, "No need, you and grandpa can keep it for eating."

"I'm old and can't eat such sweet things." Grandma said, "It's time for Shi Shi to come back, right?"

Fu Qinruo calculated his itinerary, nodded, and replied: "There are still two months."

"You take it, and he can eat it when he gets home." The old man planned it very well.

Hearing this, he was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said: "He will definitely come to see you when he comes back, let's talk about it then."

Unexpectedly, Grandma Fu shook her head, smiled stubbornly, and insisted, "Let's take it."

"Alright then." Fu Qinruo had no choice but to agree.

After talking about this, Grandma Fu took out an iron pot from the cabinet and poured some dried osmanthus from it.It was the sweet-scented osmanthus that Shi Shilei picked in Chengdu last fall, and Fu Qinruo was told by him to bring it back to his grandparents.

"I'll make you some glutinous rice balls tonight." Grandma Fu found out the glutinous rice flour, looked back out of the window, and murmured, "I'm afraid it's going to rain in this weather. Eat some glutinous rice balls to warm up." How are the apricots grown in your inn?"

Speaking of the apricot tree that Fu Qinruo transplanted from other places to the inn, he shook his head with a blushing smile and said, "I don't know if it will bloom this year." It has been planted for three years and has not bloomed.

Grandma spoke softly and said, "There's no rush. Let's see when spring comes."

Some things are never in a hurry, of course Fu Qinruo understands this.He smiled and nodded, continuing to prepare dinner.

After Fu Qinruo came back from Sichuan, Shi Shilei once went back to Taimen to visit his grandparents.That time he stayed at home for half a month, and spent the New Year and Lantern Festival with two old people.

The palace lantern hanging in Fu Qinruo's room now was made by Shi Shilei with him during that time.

When Fu Qinruo was packing up his belongings back to Xitang, his figure was cut several times by the shadow of the lamp.

The light was not bright, and even the original color of the clothes could not be distinguished clearly.It really started to rain patter outside the window, and within a short while, a thin layer of coldness condensed on the bluestone floor.

He looked up at the tassels of the palace lantern, staring at the light for a long time, his vision turned gray.

The inn was closed for a long time, and moss even grew at the door.Fu Qinruo saw it when he opened the door, but he didn't clean it up, and let the moss grow on the steps.He moved the door panel to the side and the neighbor in the next inn saw him and greeted him warmly.Even though the first month has passed, I still said happy new year when we met for the first time this year.

Fu Qinruo cleaned the inside and outside of the inn by himself, and also dealt with the things that needed to be damp and mildewed.This work took him a whole week, and one afternoon when he took the long-standing calligraphy and paintings to dry behind the house as usual, the inn ushered in the first business of the year.

It's a couple, two boys.

Fu Qinruo came out from the back and saw the two of them standing in front of the counter and whispering about the price.Instinctively, he saw their relationship at first sight.Fu Qinruo walked behind the counter with lowered eyebrows, and didn't even raise his eyes when he asked: "Do you want to stay at the hotel?"

"Can't you live?" one of them asked the other.

That one looked at the price list curiously and said, "You just decide."

After listening, the boy who asked the question squinted at him, showing a little impatience in his eyes.He leaned on the counter, looked at the price list and murmured, "Boss, I want one... go up."

"Don't be so funny, can you?" I was immediately stared at by my companion.

Fu Qinruo took the key and showed them the room, and arranged for them to stay.Out of politeness, he asked where the two guests were from, and only then did he know that they came from Beijing and Shanghai respectively.

It seems to be still a student.

He restrained his excess curiosity, politely asked them to rest early, and went back to the back of the shop to continue to spread out calligraphy and painting.The two boys didn't stay in the inn for long, and went out to play soon.Sitting in the yard, Fu Qinruo happened to see them stopping briefly at the entrance of the inn—one of the boys put his companion's accompanying glass filled with water into his backpack.

Seeing this, Fu Qinruo Weiwei
