Lu Weifu upstairs

Zhao Xin and Liu Yusheng didn't get up from the bed until their stomach started to growl.Liu Yusheng's buttocks were swollen, and he walked very unnaturally, like a twisting duck.He blushed and opened the bathroom door: "I'll take a shower."

Zhao Xin's eyes fell on Liu Yusheng, to be precise, on Liu Yusheng's lower abdomen.He asked seriously, "Can I come in and help you?"

Liu Yusheng: "Huh? No, I can't." He didn't want to wash and wash before going to the bathroom...I overdid it last night, my butt hurts.

And Zhao Xin, as a senior Tanmei writer, naturally understood what Liu Yusheng was thinking. Isn't this a common routine of Tanmei, under the banner of "helping", to send it again in the bathroom-a lesson from heaven and earth, he just wanted to help.

"Okay then," Zhao Xin smiled, "wash slowly."

When Liu Yusheng came out of the shower, he saw Zhao Xin sitting in front of the kitchen stove. There was a crackling sound in the air——Zhao Xin was pouring oil into the pot.Liu Yusheng was secretly surprised that Zhao Xin could cook?It doesn't look like it.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes paused, and he couldn't help but look at Zhao Xin's arm.Zhao Xin wore sweatpants on his lower body, but his upper body was naked, revealing his undulating arms and shoulders, not as thin and weak as his calves. His arms are muscular, but due to long-term writing at his desk, he does not look thick and frightening He is a human being, and his shoulders are also broad and flat. Standing, Liu Yusheng can just see his protruding collarbone and sunken neck.In Liu Yusheng's eyes, all this is like a perfect statue made by Michelangelo.

The perfect statue turned his head and said, "Hey, there is erythromycin ointment on the table, you can apply some, this will reduce the swelling."

Liu Yusheng was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig into the ground for a moment: "Okay...Okay."

After he warmed his ears and applied the ointment on his back, Zhao Xin had already brought two bowls of sweet potato powder to the table, and even put a soft cushion on a chair in front of the table.

"Does it hurt a lot?" Zhao Xin asked carefully, "Go to the school hospital later? It's very close."

"No need!" Liu Yusheng shook his head hastily, "It's only a little swollen...it's fine, really."

Zhao Xin still looked worried: "It's okay, Yusheng, I know all the doctors in the school hospital—"

"It's really not necessary! Zhao Xin," Liu Yusheng almost buried his face in the bowl, "I'm pretty solid, not so delicate."

Zhao Xin held his chopsticks in a daze for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "You can be delicate with me."

Liu Yusheng looked up at Zhao Xin, momentarily at a loss for words.

"We are already together. I should treat you well and be responsible to you. This is what I should do. You can also ask me, you can ask me for anything, anything I can give."

He knew that Liu Yusheng always had a bit of inferiority towards him, no, not only towards him, but towards the world, just like that morning when he accidentally said "money is not in a hurry" on the phone, Liu Yusheng choked back He said "That's because you are not in a hurry", but then apologized hastily.

It was also this person who gently kissed Zhao Xin's disabled calf last night, so careful that he held back his breath.He doesn't know how much he has given, and he doesn't know that he deserves all gifts without a price tag.

"Really..." Liu Yusheng whispered, "Then can I... make a request?"

Zhao Xin nodded: "Of course." At the same time, he guessed in his heart, what would Liu Yusheng want?Does he want to go to college?That would allow him to take classes with Professor Zhao's graduate students.Does he want to travel?You can go with him, but unfortunately you can't climb the mountain.Does he want to...

"Can you tell me," Liu Yusheng said softly, "Why did you stop updating "The Man Upstairs"?"

Zhao Xin was taken aback.

"I don't mean anything else!" Liu Yusheng explained in a panic, "I just... want to know more about you. If you don't want to talk about it, let it be. It's okay."

He said so, but he was so nervous that he squeezed the chopsticks so hard that his fingertips turned white.Zhao Xin stared at Liu Yusheng's fingertips. After a long while, he stretched out his hand to gently hold his hand. Zhao Xin's palm was sweaty.

After four years, Zhao Xin understood why Liu Yusheng asked this question.

Because that incident—that incident that Liu Yusheng didn't know about—was the beginning of everything.It was because of that incident that Zhao Xin stopped writing in despair, and because of Zhao Xin's suspension, Liu Yusheng couldn't help but continued to write, so Zhao Xin had distorted anger, and there was... all irreparable damage.

"I graduated from college that summer," Zhao Xin said slowly, "I made an appointment with three friends to start a magazine together - it's a very naive idea now, but we did make an appointment and planned it for a long time When graduation was approaching, one of the boys from Yunnan suddenly found a job and went to Beijing. The three of us had a big fight with him, and we broke up. The remaining two, one went home and the other went abroad."

Liu Yusheng hesitated, "So they didn't fulfill their promise, did they?"

Zhao Xin shook his head: "This is not the main reason."

Liu Yusheng: "Huh?"

Looking into Liu Yusheng's eyes, Zhao Xin suddenly felt confident for some reason.In the past four years, his parents have asked him many times, directly or in a roundabout way, what happened that summer?And he never answered.Because that's not just a failure, it's a disgrace.

"The boy from Yunnan who was first looking for a job in Beijing, and I... have been together," he finally, finally said, "We were still together even when we quarreled, I mean, fell in love."

Liu Yusheng's eyes widened suddenly: "Then how could he—"

"Yes, how could he go to Beijing to find a job without telling me anything?" Zhao Xin smiled calmly, "Actually, I regretted it when we quarreled, maybe I pushed him too fast Yes, we agreed to come out to our family after graduation. I think I may have pushed him too fast. In fact, he doesn’t have to run a magazine if he doesn’t want to. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t want to work in Wuhan... But the four of us After the quarrel, he came back to find me alone."

Even though he disdainfully said "literature is useless", even if he sarcastically said "what else can you do besides writing", Zhao Xin still decided to be considerate of him - the conditions in his family were really tight, his parents were working outside, and there was a My sister is still studying.

"He told me to break up. He said that he would marry a woman sooner or later, otherwise he would not be able to explain to his family. He also said—and said that being with me was just a moment of confusion, because I had a crush on him for two years, and A disabled person, he felt that I was too pitiful to be with me, and then he regretted it."

Liu Yusheng suddenly clenched Zhao Xin's hand.

Zhao Xin lowered his eyes and smiled: "I've never told anyone about this, it's too embarrassing."

It took at least half a minute for Liu Yusheng to speak, his tone cautious and annoyed: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked... It's his fault, Zhao Xin, it's his fault."

Zhao Xin squeezed Liu Yusheng's palm: "Why are you apologizing? Even if you don't ask, I will tell you later. I should apologize. At that time, when I saw your continuation of "The Man Upstairs", I felt...very upset." Balance, I saw that the male lead had a very happy ending, and I thought why should he? My life is so bad, how can he be loved so easily? That's why I'm so angry at you... It’s very despicable for me to vent my own pain on you,” he paused, word by word.

Liu Yusheng felt his chest sore, as if bitter and expired vinegar had been squeezed into it.He was jealous of that person who knew Zhao Xin years before him and was loved by Zhao Xin, but also hated that person for abandoning this sincere love.If it was him, if it was him, he would definitely regard it as a treasure and protect it on the tip of his heart.

But at this moment, he was clumsy and didn't know what to say. The canned octopus's literary talent was strangely exhausted. He could only hold Zhao Xin's hand tightly, and said clumsily, "I will have a good time with you." Together."

Zhao Xin smiled, took Liu Yusheng's hand, and kissed his fingertips.Then he solemnly replied: "Me too."

After eating a steaming bowl of sweet potato noodles and a slightly mushy fried egg, Liu Yusheng was about to set off for the high-speed rail station again.After all, he came too hastily, and it would take another day or two for my mother to be discharged from the hospital.

Liu Yusheng felt a little depressed. They had only been together for less than 24 hours, and they were about to part again.But Zhao Xin touched his face, and coaxed: "We will meet soon."

Yeah?Liu Yusheng smiled and nodded in agreement, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, how should he explain this trip to his mother "on a whim" when he returned to Gancheng?How to explain the frequent going out in the future?Keep lying or tell the truth?No, my mother had just had an operation, so she definitely couldn't tell the truth.

Until he got on the high-speed rail, Liu Yusheng was still thinking about these problems with worry.He didn't want Zhao Xin to get involved - Zhao Xin had already been hurt by that Yunnan boy for "family" reasons, and he didn't want Zhao Xin to be hurt by his family again.He was already with Zhao Xin, and he wanted to protect him, just as he also decided to resolve those disputes on the Internet alone.

— Fortunately, there is a solution.

That night, Liu Yusheng returned to Gancheng.He first went to the hospital to change shifts with Uncle Wang, and barely explained his itinerary with the reason that "a high school classmate suddenly fell ill", but he still couldn't avoid being questioned by his mother for a long time.

The next morning, at exactly nine o'clock, Liu Yusheng posted a Weibo message:

"@阿露独立新闻I have read your report, it is pure nonsense, because I have never joined the "small group" mentioned in the report. May I ask if you dare to invite the interviewed 'Xiao Si' 'Confront me? See which of us is lying."

Less than half a minute after this Weibo was posted, Liu Yusheng received a call from Zhao Xin.

"I saw your Weibo," Zhao Xin said hastily, "Yusheng, what does this mean?"

"...how did you see it so quickly?" Liu Yusheng seemed to be unable to grasp the point, and asked in confusion, "We chatted until after three o'clock last night, and you woke up so early?"

Zhao Xin: "I set you as special attention."

Liu Yusheng's heart softened, and he couldn't help laughing: "Well, good."

"What do you mean by face to face?"

"I was too excited yesterday, so I forgot to tell you," Liu Yusheng was a little embarrassed, and explained, "I can't be sure about anything else, but at least this report is fake, so I added a support club group with 1000 members. There are multiple people, and I didn’t join any small groups at all.”

Zhao Xin was silent for a few seconds, remembering Xu Yihan's words - Shidu Qianqian's father is a nobleman of the Xu family.

Coupled with Liu Yusheng's words, a thought vaguely floated in his mind:

All of this may be deliberate.
