Difficult to heal

The motorboat made beautiful waves and made a big turn at an extremely fast speed.

The sea breeze blew up the hem of their clothes, and the two people on the boat gradually turned into a small black spot, far away from the sight range.

Lu Shu looked away, and Li Yucheng became interested: "Shall we go play too?"

"No." Lu Shu said calmly.

"Okay," Li Yucheng began to take off his shirt, "Shall we go for a swim?"

He sits in an office all year round, and he has a good figure, and he has developed a few tight abs on his stomach.

Throwing the T-shirt on the recliner, seeing Lu Suan's lack of interest, Li Yucheng said to him face to face: "Senior, you're already down, aren't you just here to enjoy the scenery?"

Although the sun is not as bright as at noon at the moment, it shines on the body, mixed with the fishy smell of sea water, making people feel stuffy for no reason.

Lu Shu grabbed the collar and was about to tear off the shirt when two men walked over there.

They all looked about 30 or [-] years old, and just now they were standing beside the motorboat, and the young man recognized Lu Shu.

He took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, Mr. Lu."

Lu Shu also recognized him. It was Fang Qian, the assistant who had been by Xiu Qinjiang's side the last time he went to Zhong Ding.

A nod is the answer.

Fang Qian turned his head and said to the man who came behind him, "This is Mr. Lu from Lu Xing."

Men are only a little over 30, and they have already begun to take the shape of a beer belly.

He graciously held out his hands: "Hello, hello, I'm Lu Wang, the manager of Zhong Ding's personnel department. Last time I couldn't see Mr. Lu in the company. I regretted it for a long time. This time I saw the deity. Are you traveling here too?"

"Something."

Lu Shu took it lightly, shook hands briefly, and introduced Li Yucheng beside them to the two of them.

After the polite greetings between the two parties, Li Yucheng asked, "That was Mr. Su just now? His girlfriend is very beautiful."

Lu Wang agreed and couldn't wait to show off: "Manager Li is really accurate in seeing people. Ms. Gu has a good family background and is young and beautiful. Mr. Su is equally outstanding. I heard that Mr. Gu is still an old friend with our Zhong Dong. The more they look, the more they match each other, hahaha."

Although he didn't understand what Lu Wang was boasting about, Li Yucheng nodded friendly.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qian said: "You can't make random guesses. Our president is currently single. Ms. Gu will come over to play with her. Manager Lu, don't ruin the girl's reputation."

"How can this be a bad reputation? Isn't it a matter of time?" Lu Wang was disappointed and blamed, "Xiao Fang, you are so young, why are you thinking so old-fashioned?"

Fang Qian's appearance is gentle and gentle, but his personality is quite stubborn: "President Xi's private matter, Manager Lu should be careful about his words."

Lu Wang frowned: "I'm just talking, you..."

Li Yucheng hurriedly smoothed things over: "A man and a woman are indeed a good match, but we're just chatting casually, so don't make trouble."

"Where?" Fang Qian smiled politely, "Manager Li is serious."

Lu Shu was not interested in discussing Xiu Qinjiang's love life, so he went to the side early, took off his clothes and prepared to go into the water.

Seeing this, Li Yucheng also bid farewell to the two.

There are many men and women scattered around, most of them are wearing swimming rings, and they can be seen at a glance as landlubbers, coming to play in the water.

Lu Shu patted some water on his arm to adapt to the temperature, and then walked a few meters in the middle, the sea water did not reach the bottom of his legs.

He leaned over slightly, thrust forward, and swam into the depths in a standard posture for entering the water.

Li Yucheng followed behind Lu Shu, and also started diving, swimming in the same direction as him.

The two were one in front of the other, looking like they were chasing after each other, but they didn't know there was anyone behind them at all.

After swimming for about 800 meters, the sea water is already relatively deep, so it is not suitable to continue to move forward.

Lu suddenly surfaced, and when he turned around, he and Li Yucheng met eye to eye, and almost bumped into each other.

"..."

He stepped back half a meter.

But Li Yucheng laughed: "Senior, your expression just now seems to be afraid that I will eat you."

"Why are you so close?" Lu Shu was displeased.

"Aren't we in a competition?" Li Yucheng smiled openly, "You are too fast, I lost."

Lu Shu was very puzzled by his constant chattering recently, and he would look stupid if he said this, so he simply ignored it and plunged into the water to swim back.

In the end, Li Yucheng was out of his mind, and suddenly grabbed his ankle.

Lu Shu was startled, tried his best to stabilize his balance, and broke free after surfacing.

If it wasn't for his rich experience, he would definitely be choking on water right now, Lu Shu swung his fist over: "Are you sick?"

Li Yucheng leaned back and hid, explaining: "I'm going to help you, but you react too quickly, don't be angry."

Lu Shu was already in a bad mood, and was suddenly offended by this silly joke.

He raised his leg and kicked directly at Li Yucheng's abdomen.

There is resistance underwater, and the kick can't be too hard. Li Yucheng didn't hide, and suffered the kick for life.

Still feeling puzzled after kicking, Lu Shu wanted to shake his fist again, and the hum of a motorboat sounded not far away.

At the same time as the waves hit, Li Yucheng opened his arms and rushed forward to protect Lu Shu into his arms.

The motorboat passed by them, and the culprit didn't even look at them. The girl in the back seat turned around and shouted, "I'm sorry——"

Even though he was protected, Lu Shu still got splashed with water.

He pushed Li Yucheng away expressionlessly, and swam back to the shore sullenly.

Xiuqinjiang circled around a few more times and arrived almost at the same time as Lu Shu.

The motorboat was moored in the shallow sea, Gu Yuan got down from the back seat, and Xiu Qinjiang took off the safety rope on his wrist.

Lu Shu walked straight over, kicked Xiu Qinjiang back into the sea without saying a word.

"What are you doing!"

Gu Yuan was taken aback, and looked at Qin Jiang nervously, "Brother Qin Jiang, how are you?"

The sea water was only up to his knees, and Chu Qinjiang only wet his clothes and pants. He sat on the ground calmly and waved his hands.

Ignoring Gu Yuan's questioning, Lu Shu slowly squatted down, put one hand on his knee, and stared at Xiu Qinjiang: "Are you awake?"

"Nope."

One second, Xiu Qinjiang was still laughing, and the next second, he suddenly stretched out his legs and hooked Lu Shu.

Lu Shu was undefended, and he fell forward.

Immediately stopped in mid-air again.

With his collarbone pressing on the crossing arm of Xu Qinjiang, he knelt into the sea with one leg, and a playful voice came from beside his ear: "Now I'm awake."

Without hesitation, Lu Shu slammed his elbow hard at the opponent's waist.

Gu Yuan exclaimed.

Xuan Qinjiang caught his elbow with his palm, blocked it, stood up and opened a small distance.

Gu Yuan ran over in a few steps, trying to block in front of Xiu Qinjiang, but he pulled him behind: "It's okay."

It just so happened that Li Yucheng also came over, stopped Lu Shu who was about to make a move, and persuaded in a low voice: "Senior, there are many people here."

"I apologized just now, and it wasn't on purpose!" Gu Yuan said angrily, "You still dare to hit someone in public, do you really think we are afraid of you?"

Lu Shu casually raised his eyes, his cold eyes swept over Gu Yuan.

"Motorboats are dangerous to stick to people," Li Yucheng retorted, "With your skills, I'm afraid it's not suitable for this."

Gu Yuan wanted to scold again, but was stopped by Xiu Qinjiang.

He smiled faintly, and looked at Li Yucheng with unpredictable eyes for a moment, as if admiring the scenery, and then slowly fell on Lu Shu.

Lu Shu stared straight at him.

The two were silent, as if they were competing for something.

After a while, Xiu Qinjiang said, "Gu Yuan, let's go."

After dropping these words, he turned his head and went outside the beach.

Gu Yuan gouged them both unwillingly, and left behind.

"Senior—"

In the middle of Li Yucheng's speech, Lu Shu passed him and walked in the opposite direction alone.

—

In the evening, I had dinner with Sun Kai as usual, and the other party asked him if he had a good time.

Sun Kai mentioned before that he wanted to accompany Lu Shu to visit Jinyun Island in person, but he was mercilessly rejected by the other party.

Fortunately, he refused, otherwise, if he was present in the afternoon, he might be frightened by this tough boss Lu.

"That's it." Lu Shu replied.

Seeing that he cut the steak like he was killing people, Sun Kai swallowed, and said, "Mr. Lu, there will be a charity auction tomorrow morning. The organizer heard that you came on a business trip and specially sent us an invitation letter. Are you Didn't you go there?"

"Which organizer?"

Sun Kai said: "Huayin Technology, the auction money is lovingly donated to children with intellectual problems for treatment expenses."

Lu Shu didn't make a sound immediately, and ate a small piece of steak without haste.

After a while, he replied, "Yes."

After dinner, when Lu Shu was going back to his room, he received a message from Li Yucheng.

-Senior, I'm at a bar nearby. Would you like a drink?

- I apologize to you, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it this afternoon, I just wanted to joke with you, Mr. Boss has a lot, don't bother with me.

Later, there was an emoticon package crying and begging for mercy.

Staying in the hotel is also boring, and Lu Shu really wants to drink a little bit, he replied.

-address.

The other party sent it immediately, and Lu Shu put away his phone and walked towards the destination.

There are many people in the bar, but there is no messy head-shaking performance or DJ shouting microphones, only a resident singer is quietly playing and singing on the stage.

Most of the booths are tourists who come to Jinyun Island for vacation, and they generally wear beach skirt pants and dress coolly.

Lu Shu found Li Yucheng, sat on the sofa, and asked him, "Did you bring cigarettes?"

Li Yucheng pried open a few bottles of wine with his bare hands and poured them for him: "I didn't bring them, I'll go buy them now?"

"never mind."

Lu Shu held the cup, raised his head and drank it all.

"Drink it slowly," Li Yucheng said quickly, "This wine is strong, if you drink it too fast, you will choke your throat."

"fine."

Lu Shu poured another glass by himself.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Li Yucheng watched his movements, "It feels like you've been quite up since you arrived at Jinyun Island... so what, because of the cooperation?"

"What?" Lu Shu asked without answering.

Li Yucheng considered his choice of words: "I just feel like I'm holding back my breath."

Lu Shu smiled carelessly: "Really."

"Really, it feels like you want to beat everyone you see," Li Yucheng clinked glasses with him, "I'll let you vent tonight."

Lu Shu didn't reply.

Li Yucheng got up suddenly, and moved from the opposite sofa to Lu Shu's side, with only a palm's width between them.

"It's too noisy," he said, "I'm afraid I can't hear you clearly."

The distance was really close, which made Lu Shu feel uncomfortable, so he moved away a little: "I can hear you clearly."

Li Yucheng smiled, not caring about the alienated attitude of the other party, he said: "Senior, can I ask you a question?"

"Huh?" Lu Shu looked down at the wine in his hand, absent-minded.

Li Yucheng said something in a very low voice, completely overwhelmed by the noise in the bar.

Lu Shu didn't hear it, and his eyes showed doubts.

"Look, if you can't hear clearly."

Li Yucheng leaned over again, this time much closer, and even touched his shoulder, "I said, in private from now on, can I not call you senior?"

Lu Shu frowned for a moment, this question was really inexplicable.

So much so that he ignored the other party's behavior beyond his own safe distance.

"What do you want to say?"

"I've known you for eight years since my sophomore year," Li Yucheng said. "It's too unfamiliar to keep calling you Senior or Mr. Lu."

"Can I call you..." He paused for a few seconds and asked, "Ah Yan?"

"..."

It is no exaggeration to say that this appalling title made Lu Shu feel uncomfortable and weird, and instantly climbed to the top.

Even his closest family members have never yelled so stickily.

Putting down the cup in his hand, Lu Shu cast his eyes impatiently: "Li Yucheng, what are you going crazy about lately?"

"I'm not having a seizure." Li Yucheng looked normal, "I just feel that it's been so many years, and I don't want to have any other contact with you other than work."

If Lu Shu didn't take it seriously before, then the implication of this sentence is already too obvious.

He is not a dull person, but he has never thought about it before.

Only a few friends and family members know about my sexual orientation, and that Wu Fei last time was just harassing me when I was bored.

When he was in college, there were many classmates or alumni from other majors who confessed to him, both men and women, and the confession was often hung on the wall, but Lu Shuantong refused.

At that time, he was so focused on building a studio that he never thought about falling in love.

Not even now.

"No."

Lu Shu succinctly refused, and sat on another sofa, "The cooperation with Jiada this time has not been decided, I hope you can understand the seriousness of the matter."

The relationship between adults doesn't even need to be clarified, it's decent and decisive, Li Yucheng's look of anticipation fades away.

After a while, a little smile appeared.

"Senior, don't worry, I won't be sloppy at work."

Lu Shu stopped talking, got up and went to the bathroom.

After coming out, there were two more unexpected guests beside Li Yucheng.

Lu Su felt that he might not have chosen a good date for his business trip, or Jinyun Island was too small.

Even wherever he goes, he can meet people who are an eyesore.

Li Yucheng was flanked by Fang Qian and Lu Wang. Judging by his posture, he probably wanted to drag him to his table for a drink.

Across the aisle, in the booth diagonally opposite, sat Xiu Qinjiang and Gu Yuan.

The two were playing dice, Gu Yuan rested his chin on the coffee table, and concentrated on watching Xiu Qinjiang roll the dice, the man's movements were skillful but lazy.

The lid was lifted, and it was a leopard.

Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, he put his arms around Xiu Qinjiang's forearm and asked him to teach him.

Xiu Qinjiang squeezed a dice to let go, lowered his head and said something to Gu Yuan with a smile.

Gu Yuan covered her face in embarrassment, her ears turned red, and she made a gesture to hit him.

Lu Shu stood in the crowd a few meters away, watching all this calmly.

Feeling the vague gaze, Xiu Qinjiang turned his head, but only saw the dim floating circle of light in the bar.

In the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere, there was no one he knew.

Lu Shu walked to the street outside the bar. This area is a famous tourist street. The surrounding area is bustling with a lot of people, and souvenir sellers can be seen everywhere.

He wandered around for a while before he found a convenience store, went in and bought a bottle of water and a pack of cigarettes.

He randomly picked a street bench with a view of the coast, leaned back against the bench, and lit a cigarette.

The sea at night is different from the daytime. The sea surface is calm and there are rounds of water splashing, the dark color melts into the waves, and the fine sand is also submerged, and the silence disappears.

The coast was silent, and there was an unknown danger more than usual.

A cool wind blew up, and the white mist from the smoke tail quickly dispersed.

The place where Lu Shu stayed was not remote, and a little girl ran over holding a woven basket, her bright eyes gleaming brightly.

She said crisply: "Brother, buy a shell bracelet, it's very beautiful."

Lu Shu pinched out his cigarette and said, "You called me brother too, brother doesn't wear a bracelet."

The little girl sat down and pointed to the coast: "My family lives over there, and I often sit here and watch, but it's too dark and too far away. If I look at it for a long time, people will become unhappy."

She turned her head: "you are not happy, so you are sitting here alone, right?"

"No." Lu Shu said flatly.

"You can't fool me," said the little girl. "My mother told me that if you see someone sad and you don't hate him, you can comfort him."

She rummaged through the basket and found a pure white shell bracelet: "Here, here it is for you. This is the most beautiful one. I picked it up many times before collecting it. You can't refuse it."

Lu Shu was taken aback for a moment, and after a while, he took the bracelet away.

Scan the QR code next to the basket with your mobile phone and pay 200 yuan.

"Did you pay?" the little girl asked.

"Ah."

"That's the gift you bought yourself." The little girl lifted the basket with a bright smile, "I hope you will be happy soon, goodbye brother."

Looking away, Lu Shu carelessly played with the shell bracelet in his hand.

Li Yucheng poked the news and asked him where he was, and he replied two words: hotel.

What Li Yucheng said later, he didn't read it again, and threw the phone into his pocket on silent.

I don't know how long I sat there, until the people on the street gradually became thinner and the shops began to close, Lu Shu didn't leave.

Walking back to the bar, there were not many people left. He was just about to go to the bar, when a sentence came from behind——

"Mr. Lu, what a coincidence."

Lu Shu turned around, and Xiu Qinjiang was sitting there alone, he raised his glass: "Have a drink?"

Lu Shu looked unremarkable, sitting opposite the Chuqin River, with the shell bracelet on the table.

Xiu Qinjiang smiled: "Thank you Mr. Lu for your face."

There were several bottles of wine on the table, and he took a clean glass and poured some whiskey and bitters into it.

The dark brown liquid swayed, and the light from the cup was reflected on the wrist. The bones were well-defined, and the skin color was as white as ever, which seemed to be a little more powerful than before.

It was the same hands just now, teaching the little girl to play dice.

A simple glass of Manhattan was brewed, and Xu Qinjiang pushed it to Lu Shu: "Try it."

Lu Shu looked at the cocktail and didn't move.

"Are you afraid of taking medicine?" Xu Qinjiang leaned on the sofa, his eyes full of interest.

"Boss Xi's hands can surf and play dice," Lu Shu held up his glass, "he can also mix wine, it's a pity not to perform."

"It's not cost-effective to perform a lot of art," said Qin Qinjiang, "It depends on your mood when you do it."

Lu Shuan took a sip of Manhattan, the taste was not high, but the taste was strong and direct, filling the entire mouth in an instant.

"See when you're lonely?" he said.

Xiu Qinjiang laughed lowly, propped his elbows on the coffee table, rested his fingers on his temples, and turned his head to look at Lu Shu.

"Mr. Lu, you know me well."

"That's it," Lu Shu put down his drink, leaned over to approach Xiu Qinjiang, his tone was mocking, "I just don't know, your little girlfriend, is it clear that you like men?"

"Little girlfriend?" Chu Qinjiang pretended to be innocent, "Mr. Lu, don't spread rumors."

Lu Shu smiled lightly, sat back, took out a cigarette from the case, lit it, and put it in his mouth.

He half drooped his eyelids, playing with the lighter in his hand, the flames spewed out and went out.

The whole body reveals the temperament of not being close to strangers, and the black T-shirt seems to be integrated with the sofa.

Xiu Qinjiang took his appearance into his eyes, and his expression suddenly faded.

"Lu Shu," he said, "what did you just run away?"

Lu Shu didn't answer, as if ignoring his existence.

Xiu Qinjiang fell silent, and the two sat quietly facing each other.

After one cigarette was exhausted, Lu Shu stubbed out the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and drank the cocktail in one gulp.

He got up: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for the wine."

When he left, someone grabbed his wrist.

Xiu Qinjiang also stood up, slid his fingers around his wrist, and slipped the shell bracelet into his hand.

He came to Lu Shu's side, hooked the bracelet with his index finger, and held it in front of Lu Shu's eyes: "After drinking, I have to get something in exchange."

Lu Shu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled perfunctorily: "I'll give it to you, do you dare to wear it?"

Xiu Qinjiang loosened his fingertips, held the shell in his palm, and walked out of the bar with his trouser pockets in his pocket.

A lazy voice sounded: "Mr. Lu is really generous."
