Pure jade and gold

When the plane landed, Yuan Rui was still in a drowsy drowsiness.

Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder, "Yuan Rui, wake up, we're here."

Yuan Rui opened his eyes slowly, only to find that the passengers on the plane had already packed their things and lined up to go out. He quickly glanced at the tarmac outside the window, and said vaguely, "Are you in Fushi?"

"Ah."

Not long after the plane opened the cabin door, the narrow aisle was still crowded with people.

Shi Yunnan was not in a hurry to leave, and sat for a while with Yuan Rui, who had just woken up, "Are you tired from running after me these two days? Seeing that you are very tired."

"Not tired." Yuan Ruiqiang cheered up.

Under the joint efforts of the two, the studio developed rapidly. Lingyu Design, which was originally regarded as an industry rival, was on the verge of bankruptcy under their pressure.

Shi Yunnan is a designer with very innovative ideas. He is no longer satisfied with pure jade design, but wants to integrate porcelain elements, one of the Chinese traditions, into jade design.

Yuan Rui trusted his friend 100%, and supported his proposal without saying a word.

No, the two planned to go out for a field trip as soon as they got together, and they only stayed in Jingshi for a week before rushing to Dehua County, which also has a "hometown of ceramics" non-stop.

"After you go back, hire an assistant or an operation manager to help. You've lost weight in the past six months." Shi Yunnan suggested.

I remember that when we first met, Yuan Rui still had some milk fat that hadn't been wiped off, and because of his personality, he looked a bit arrogant and childish.

Since he took over the studio, his nerves are tense and he refuses to let go of anything. Especially recently, he has lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It can't go on like this.

"No need, I can handle it, I don't feel relieved to leave it to others." Yuan Rui said honestly, the studio is still on the rise, and he refuses to relax in the slightest.

Before Lu Zhao'an came back, he had to ensure that the studio was always moving forward steadily.

"Besides, don't you still have you? Without your participation in the Lingyu design this time, I can't chew this big bone by myself."

For Shi Yunnan, a good friend, Yuan Rui still has admiration and gratitude in his heart.

The two agreed on a division of labor and cooperation. In fact, after Shi Yunnan finished the design work at hand, he would still help him with other things in the studio. The other party was an excellent partner.

"Then let's talk about it when we go back. It's better for you to go out for a few days to relax."

Seeing that there were only a few scattered people left in the cabin, Shi Yunnan stopped the conversation in time.

"Ah."

Yuan Rui was no longer sleepy, he unbuckled his seat belt and left the cabin with his friends.

Yuan Rui originally thought that there were only the two of them during this trip, but he didn't expect to meet another group of people just after leaving the airport——

Shi Yunnan's partner, Luo Lingsheng, who was originally undergoing rehabilitation overseas, unexpectedly brought his little nephew all the way to meet him. The family of three are so sweet that others are envious.

Yuan Rui got on the business car, and very self-aware, found the last seat by the window to sit, resolutely not disturbing the reunion time of his friend's family.

This time they were going to Hua County, and it was nearly four hours' drive from Fushi Airport.

Yuan Rui, who had nothing to do, instinctively clicked on the WeChat interface, and Lu Zhaoan's WeChat was still on the top.

The latest unilateral news was only three days ago.

——Senior brother, I learned porcelain carving in Jingshi today, and the master’s explanation is a bit similar to jade carving. It would be great if you were here, I’m sure I’ll like it.

"..."

Yuan Rui was silent for a while, and began to scroll up with his fingertips.

From the day Lu Zhaoan 'disappeared' from his world, Yuan Rui started this aimless one-sided contact, and his tone also changed from unbelief, anger, and complaints at the beginning to admitting mistakes and hugging. Looking forward to, gradually accepting fate, and finally became what it is now——

Knowing that the news was nothing, but he still shared the recent situation with Lu Zhaoan almost stubbornly, even though he already knew that the other party would not give any reply.

All of them are Yuan Rui's unilateral WeChat messages. They don't seem to be looking for someone to chat with, but rather like memos talking to himself. They are the only channel for him to express his tense emotions.

Yuan Rui's fingertips turned faster and faster until he turned off the screen before his emotions were on the verge of losing control.

Yuan Rui vaguely knew that something was wrong with him, but because of the busy reality, he simply attributed it to one reason——

He thought about Lu Zhaoan's return, maybe he just wanted to face himself who was young and ignorant, and wanted to apologize to Lu Zhaoan face to face, and then return the studio that the other party valued.

...

It was already evening when the car arrived in Dehua County.

There are no star-rated hotels in big cities. Yuan Rui booked a high-scoring B&B before. After rearranging the room, the enthusiastic B&B owner even prepared a special sumptuous dinner.

Yuan Rui knew that his friend would not have time to chat with him tonight, so he simply chose to go out alone after dinner.

The night in the county town is not as bustling as that of the Imperial Capital, but it also has its own bustle. Ceramic art works can be seen everywhere on the street, which is very interesting to watch.

Yuan Rui walked aimlessly among the crowd, raised his eyes, and suddenly felt a figure from behind appeared in front of him.

Familiar, almost coincides with the memory.

"..."

He froze in place for a few seconds before quickly chasing after him.

It's a pity that when he ran close, the figure had disappeared, and everything was as short as his illusion.

A passerby nearby saw Yuan Rui's despair, "Young man, are you alright?"

"fine."

Yuan Rui shook his head and sighed bitterly.

What was he thinking about?

How could someone who disappeared for so long appear in this small county town?I'm afraid it's not because the obsession is too deep that you have become a demon?

After such an encounter, Yuan Rui no longer had the mood to sway.

After he returned to the hotel and took a shower, he immediately took out the carrot pillow in the suitcase.

The orange fabric on the outside has begun to fade, it was the one that Lu Zhaoan gave him when he was a child.

When moving out of the courtyard, Yuan Rui deliberately took this pillow out, and went to several small fabric shops to refill the cotton used in the inner core.

Obviously it is the filler that takes up the most space, but he insisted on bringing it when he went out this time.

Yuan Rui lay on his side on the bed, habitually burying his head in the pillow.

At first, when Lu Zhaoan gave this pillow back to him, it was still stained with the other party's unique scent of pear and sandalwood, but after a long time, this good smell has almost disappeared.

Yuan Rui took a deep breath, and after vaguely smelling the calming breath, he recalled the back view that swayed not long ago in his mind, and the heartstrings that were tightly suppressed were suddenly loosened, but it did not make people feel relaxed .

There was a slight astringency in the eye sockets.

Yuan Rui hugged the pillow with one hand, and pulled the quilt over his head with the other, saying in a muffled voice, "It's worthless."

...

Yuan Rui had a dream.

He dreamed of the figure he was catching up with, and the owner of the figure turned around, revealing his longing day and night.

It's just that Lu Zhao'an's expression in Mengzhong was very cold, so cold that he regarded his "junior brother" as a stranger.

There was also a vague figure in the dream, Lu Zhao'an said gently that it was his partner, then turned his head without any warmth and asked Yuan Rui to stay away, and stop sending him those messy WeChat messages, Also come to disturb my new life again.

After waking up, Yuan Rui kept thinking about this absurd but extremely real dream, his mind seemed to be suspended in mid-air, and he was wandering even with his fieldwork all morning.

"Yuan Rui?"

"Yuan Rui."

"Brother Yuan Rui, my little uncle is calling you!"

Shi Yunnan and his little nephew shouted back and forth at the dinner table, and Yuan Rui came back to his senses slowly, "Ah? What, what's wrong?"

Shi Yunnan asked worriedly, "I'll let you eat well, the more I look at you during this time, the more I feel that you've lost a lot of weight compared to the first time we met."

Yuan Rui accepted his friend's concern with a smile, and used the reason of going to the bathroom to stabilize his mind.

It can't go on like this.

It was just a dream.

Yuan Rui tried his best to forget last night's dream, but accidents often come so quickly.

After lunch, Yuan Rui saw the figure of that person again on the ceramic street where he returned to the B&B.

This time it's not just the back view, but also the unmistakable side face is really Lu Zhao'an who has disappeared for several months!

The peripheral vision of the two passed by slightly.

Lu Zhao'an, who was only five meters away, quickly walked towards the back of the stall.

"...Master?"

At that moment, Yuan Rui's rationality and sense of propriety were wiped out on the spot. He lost the daze he had last night, and almost crazily chased after him.

Yuan Rui didn't care about the shouts of Shi Yunnan and the others behind him, and chased Lu Zhao'an at the fastest speed in his life, "Lu Zhao'an! Don't..."

He went around and crossed to the back of the stall, and when he was about to catch up with the opponent, he suddenly spun.

--boom!

A heavy locomotive did not have time to dodge Yuan Rui who suddenly appeared, and knocked him down on the concrete ground a few meters away.

The stall owners who noticed around heard exclamations one after another.

Yuan Rui's brain went blank for tens of seconds, and even the pain was temporarily paralyzed.He raised his eyelids with great effort, only to feel that his vision was filled with blood.

"Lu Zhao'an! Are you really going to leave Yuan Rui alone?" Shi Yunnan's rare roar reminded that all this was happening for real.

"..."

Can't fall down.

I want, I can't catch up.

If he doesn't get up again, he will be left behind again.

Yuan Rui's mind was filled with this thought, and the pain finally gathered densely from all over the body.

"Brother..."

Yuan Rui didn't know where his strength came from, he just staggered up from the ground.

The dark-skinned motorcycle driver approached immediately and tried to support him, "Little boy, are you okay? I'll take you to the hospital right now?"

"Do not touch me."

Yuan Rui pushed away the 'obstructive' driver, only to find that his vision was still blurred.He wiped off the blood around his right eye and cheek indiscriminately, and asked Shi Yunnan with some fear——

"I'm fine, he, is he gone?"

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Rui was still afraid of this unknown answer after all.

He limped around the driver who blocked his sight, and saw Lu Zhao'an rushing to him in a hurry, "...I'll take you to the hospital."

Yuan Rui carefully grasped Lu Zhao'an's wrist, his red eye sockets were covered with a layer of mist due to the pain, but his heart that had been suspended all morning quietly fell.

Fortunately.

Senior Brother is different from the one in the dream.

Yuan Rui felt lucky for no reason, he wanted to say a lot to Lu Zhao'an, but every breath he opened his mouth smelled like rust of blood.In the next second, his body, which had no more strength, suddenly fell down.

"..."

When Lu Zhaoan saw Yuan Rui falling into his arms, he was so distressed that he almost suffocated.

He never expected that the meeting between the two after a long time would be like this——

The Yuan Rui in front of him not only had a wound on his forehead, half of his face was stained red with blood, but even his arms were scratched, and his trousers were directly scratched with a big hole, and a dazzling red flowed out of it.

There are injuries all over the body.

Lu Zhao'an, who has always been calm, rarely lost his mind, he didn't dare to hug him casually, for fear that an accident would aggravate Yuan Rui's pain.

Shi Yunnan said, "Lu Zhao'an, are you afraid that holding him will hurt him? Hurry up and take him to the hospital!"

Lu Zhao'an became ruthless, and hugged Yuan Ruiheng.

Compared with the sudden weight loss in the past, he is so light and thin that only bones are left.

How can you be so thin?

Lu Zhao'an's brows tightened even more, he looked down at Yuan Rui, only to find that Yuan Rui was trembling with pain in his arms, tears mixed with blood as if he couldn't stop it no matter what.

Lu Zhao's peace of mind was like a knife, and he whispered in his ear to comfort him, "Xiao Rui, don't be afraid of pain, senior brother is here."

Yuan Rui opened his mouth, but was blocked by the smell of blood again, his hands clenched Lu Zhaoan's clothes tightly, and his consciousness fainted.

...

The speeding car jolted.

Yuan Rui, who was lying in Lu Zhao'an's arms, woke up instantly from the pain. He saw the shadow of a tree receding outside the car window, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the hospital." Lu Zhao'an hugged him with one arm, and stroked his uninjured neck with the other, "Don't move around, we'll be there soon."

"..."

Yuan Rui's only remaining Qingming came out, and his face turned pale again, "I, I won't go to the hospital."

That's how grandma died when she was sent to the hospital.

Ever since he was a child, the place he hated the most and dared not to enter was the hospital.

Where does Lu Zhao'an not know the fear in Yuan Rui's heart?The other party is afraid of blood and also afraid of the hospital, but now the situation is sudden, and he can no longer treat it like a minor illness or injury in the past.

Some fears are engraved in the bones and cannot be erased overnight.

Yuan Rui's subconscious escape and struggle affected the wound, and the pain made him suddenly distort his face and fell silent.

Lu Zhaoan saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He lost his sense of control and stopped him for a while, "Don't move! Now is not the time to be willful!"

"..."

Are you self-willed again?

Yuan Rui's breathing trembled, his fingertips became tense for a moment, and he raised his eyes cautiously, "You, are you angry?"

"No, I'm just worried about you."

Knowing that he had lost his composure, Lu Zhaoan hurriedly used his hands to comfort his stiffness, "You are obedient, we can't make fun of your body, this time we have to go to the hospital to confirm the situation, okay?"

Yuan Rui stepped back, "Then, don't tell my mom, I'm afraid she will worry."

"it is good."

Lu Zhao'an agreed that the immediate priority is to go to the hospital for a physical examination, and everything else can be moved back.

Yuan Rui closed his eyelids weakly, looking as if he was about to fall into a coma again.He gritted his teeth and pulled the corner of Lu Zhaoan's clothes with the last bit of strength, "Then can you not go?"

The corners of the eyes are moist again.

Yuan Rui knew that this time it was not because of the pain, but because of the fear of facing the unknown.

He was afraid that if he fell asleep and woke up again, Lu Zhao'an would disappear without a trace like before.

"Brother, don't go..."

The long-lost word "Senior Brother" appeared in Yuan Rui's mouth, without the usual pampering and self-willedness, but with a hint of pleading instead.

Lu Zhaoan was in a state of confusion, wishing to transfer the pain of the other party to himself.He could only carefully hug the person in his arms tightly and answer his words seriously.

"Okay, I won't go, I'll stay with you."
