half year later
"Beibi—" At the exit of the airport, Luo Rui yelled and rushed over, hugging Wen Xiaohui, "I miss you to death!"
Wen Xiaohui laughed and hugged him back: "I miss you so much, I'm not used to it without you nagging in my ear all day."
"When did I nag?"
"You can complain seven or eight times for forgetting to bring a comb when you go out... Forget it, I won't talk about you today, let me see if my daughter is fat." Wen Xiaohui pinched Luo Rui's face with a smile.
Luo Yi stood behind the two with a smile on his face.
Wen Xiaohui let go of Luo Rui, smiled and opened his arms towards Luo Yi. Luo Yi stepped forward and hugged him firmly: "Welcome home."
Suddenly, Wen Xiaohui felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Half a year is enough for him to think about a lot of things. Although the two of them tacitly did not mention that confession every time they talked on the phone, they both knew that it was impossible to turn over this page. After careful consideration, Wen Xiaohui felt that it was better to let nature take its course. Luo Rui was right, if Luo Yi was really his true son, he shouldn't ruin their relationship just because of the moral shackles he put on himself.
Wen Xiaohui patted Luo Yi on the back, and said with a smile: "Why do I feel that every time I see you, I seem to be taller and stronger? Are you taking hormones? But your dark circles are a bit heavy, did you not sleep well recently? "He always felt that Luo Yi's state was not very energetic, as if he had something on his mind, and he was not sure if it was because he hadn't seen Luo Yi for a long time, so he was overwhelmed.
"He is developing." Luo Rui rubbed his hands with a smile, "Luo Yi is in really good shape now. If he were in my store, there would be many more female customers than usual, and the shop assistants would be extra diligent."
"Too bad you can't afford him."
Luo Yi smiled and said, "I'm really convinced by brother Luo Rui. He started urging me at seven o'clock in the morning and arrived at the airport more than two hours earlier."
"I'm afraid of traffic jams and accidents. I always have to allow time for emergencies on the road."
"He's like this, it's annoying."
The three of them talked and laughed as they walked outside the airport, got into a taxi, and drove to Wen Xiaohui's house.
"Luo Rui, how did you convince my mother not to pick me up?"
"It's not very convincing, just say, Auntie, don't go, I will go."
"... Is it my own?"
"You don't have to doubt that."
Wen Xiaohui looked out of the window. The city where he was born and raised and stayed for twenty years was full of familiar scenery and smog. After leaving for a year, there seemed to be no obvious changes. Whether it was the people around him or the living environment, he None of them blended in without any hesitation.
Luo Rui asked, "Are you going to be promoted this time when you come back?"
"Yes, I went out to study at public expense, and signed a five-year death contract with Juxing. Of course, I will be promoted. With the graduation certificate of this training school, I can use it to pretend to be aggressive."
"Print the business card right away, just write... senior stylist?"
"Yes, what is a senior stylist, what is a beauty consultant of Juxing Studio, anyway, it's just a bragging, and no one knows." Wen Xiaohui carefully tasted the five words "senior stylist", how beautiful it sounds. Liu Xing is currently negotiating a salary of 7,000 as a basic salary plus various commissions. As long as he works diligently and takes on more jobs, 20,000 to 30,000 a month will not be a problem. Now he can advertise on Weibo for 1,000 to 2,000. If he can get on line with a big-name star and become an exclusive stylist, he will have a wider path in the future. In short, after going out for a year of gold-plating, his value will soar when he comes back, and his future is bright. Thinking of this, his blood boils all over his body .
"Beibi, congratulations, no one can forget you even if you are rich."
"screw you."
Luo Yi also said: "Brother Xiaohui, congratulations, you will definitely develop better and better."
Wen Xiaohui was so happy in his heart, he had already started to fantasize about how he would make a big splash and break into the fashion circle.
After that time, Luo Rui got out of the car with Wen Xiaohui, Wen Xiaohui said to Luo Yi: "You go back first, I will accompany my mother for two days and then go find you."
"Okay." Luo Yi suddenly stretched out his hand out of the car window, grabbed Wen Xiaohui's hand, and smiled softly, "It's great that you're back."
Wen Xiaohui also smiled slightly, squeezed his hand: "Go back, be careful on the road."
After the taxi left, Luo Rui shook his head and sighed: "The little eyes are really full of affection."
"Stop rambling, hurry up and carry your luggage."
Luo Rui pouted: "I can't carry it, I don't have the strength."
Wen Xiaohui kicked the 30kg box: "There are gifts for you in it, if you don't want it, just throw it on the street."
Luo Rui carried it on his shoulders without saying a word: "Let's go, isn't it just on the third floor?"
The two of them went upstairs carrying big bags and small bags, and pressed the doorbell. When Feng Yuehua opened the door, his face was full of surprise: "Oh, I'm home so soon, and the food is not cooked yet."
Wen Xiaohui hugged her and said coquettishly: "Mom, I miss you so much. I haven't seen you for a year. Why are you younger and more beautiful?"
Feng Yuehua laughed from ear to ear: "It's okay, it's so boring, have you brought all the things you were asked to bring?"
Wen Xiaohui said embarrassingly: "You bought your son as a pawnbroker, didn't you? You didn't dare to let Her Lady Queen do anything. I'm afraid you won't let me in."
Luo Rui said obediently: "Hello, Auntie, Auntie's pajamas are so beautiful."
Feng Yuehua touched Luo Rui's little curly hair: "It's been a long time since I came to see auntie, the longer she is, the cuter she is, come in quickly." She looked at the luggage, "Xiao Hui, why did you let Luo Rui carry such a heavy luggage? , look at his small body, don't show your waist."
"Mom, you really treat Luo Rui as a little girl wholeheartedly, don't you? He is a man after all, and he can't carry a piece of luggage."
Feng Yuehua smiled: "If you are not gay and Luo Rui is not a man, I think Luo Rui should be my wife."
Luo Rui said with a smile, "I am your godson."
After entering the room, Wen Xiaohui opened the suitcase, took out an oversized gift box, and handed it to Luo Rui: "Come and see, it's definitely what you want."
"I rely on so much, how did you get it back, what is it?"
"The entire 28-inch box is almost filled with it."
Luo Rui couldn't wait to take it apart, and yelled: "Delong's coffee machine!"
Wen Xiaohui smiled and said, "It's more than a thousand cheaper to buy in the United States than in China. Haven't you always wanted this?"
Luo Rui was moved and kissed Wen Xiaohui forcefully: "Beibi, I love you so much, I want to put it in the store, it will definitely improve the style immediately!"
"How many people know this stuff."
"If you know what you know, you will know it." Luo Rui held the coffee machine intoxicated, "Beibi, this model is very expensive. You just raised your salary. Isn't it a good idea to spend so much?"
"It's okay, it's rare to go abroad." Luo Rui always bought him various expensive gifts, but he was a poor man in the past and couldn't afford to give decent gifts in return. Although he is not rich now, he has raised his salary , I just wanted to give Luo Rui the same thing he wanted.
The other box was almost full of various skin care products, make-up, clothes, and shoes, half of which were for the fuck. Feng Yuehua was so happy that he grabbed the clothes and began to gesture.
Wen Xiaohui smiled and asked: "Mom, how are you getting along with Uncle ian? We didn't hang out together last time."
Feng Yuehua was rarely shy: "It's good, this time you come back, let's find time to have a meal together."
"no problem."
"I went to try on clothes." Feng Yuehua took the clothes into the bedroom.
Luo Rui asked, "By the way, what did you buy for Luo Yi and Li Shuo?"
"I bought it... Damn, what a smell."
Luo Rui stared, put down the coffee machine and ran to the kitchen...
Wen Xiaohui rested for three days and started to go to work. He returned to the first one in the studio and held a small welcome ceremony for him. It was the first time for him to experience such courteous treatment and attention in Star Concentration. When he was a young intern before, who would care if he went or stayed. Now, he is really proud.
He brought small gifts to his colleagues, while Liu Xing, Xiao Ai and Sister Lu gave more special gifts. Liu Xing called him to the office and chatted all morning, talking about Juxing's current situation and what he needed to do. Juxing now opened a second store in Beijing, and branch stores in Shanghai and Shenzhen. The star means that Wen Xiaohui can stay in the main store to manage the beauty department, or he can go to the second branch to manage it with Sister Lu. Wen Xiaohui chooses to stay in the main store, after all, there are more opportunities here.
Wen Xiaohui has his own office, although it is with two other senior stylists, it is also very meaningful. Wen Xiaohui sat in his chair, looked at the computer in front of him, and his heart blossomed with joy.
He has worked in Juxing for more than three years, and he finally made it through. Although he doesn't want to think about it, he has to say that his today is inseparable from a series of things Luo Yi has done, but if he can choose, he would rather rely on his own efforts than Luo Yi to do those things. Fortunately, everything has passed, and now it seems that there are no sequelae, fortunately.
On the first day after he came back to work, he didn’t do much. He just got to know the new colleagues, and the new management and business of Juxing. Now he doesn’t need to get up early to prepare things. He is the last one to leave after work. He can leave whenever he wants Let's go, I don't need to go to work on time, it's refreshing to think about it.
In the afternoon, Wen Xiaohui said hello and left. He brought gifts and bought some snacks, and took a taxi to Luo Yi's house.
After arriving, Luo Yi hadn't come back yet, so Wen Xiaohui called him, only to find that he forgot his phone at home.
He put down the snacks, took out the motion-sensing game console that was a gift for Luo Yi, and placed it on the coffee table in the living room. He had been in pain for a long time when he bought this thing, but it was worth it considering that both of them love to play games.
Thinking of Luo Yi's surprised expression when he came back, he was filled with anticipation.
Suddenly, Luo Yi's cell phone rang. Wen Xiaohui didn't intend to answer it, but glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and found that the contact person wrote "that person". Wen Xiaohui's heart skipped a beat. "that person"? When Luo Yi talked about his father, he always said that person. Could it be... He felt so nervous that he didn't come. If the caller was Luo Yi's father, then it was Yaya's... No one ever told him who this man was, but everyone told him that he was a very dangerous man and told him to stay away. If Sun Ying hadn't said those words to him, maybe he would have had the desire to answer this call, but thinking of Sun Ying's doubts about Yaya's death, and thinking of Yaya's face, Wen Xiaohui did something... Something he knew was stupid... He pressed the call button.
The other end of the phone was silent at first, and Wen Xiaohui followed suit, let alone talking, he didn't even dare to breathe.
"Luo Yi." A majestic voice came from the other end of the phone.
Wen Xiaohui felt his whole body trembling, obviously he just called Luo Yi's name through the phone, why did he still feel a burst of fear? It was because too many people had instilled in him the established impression of this man, so even if he was absolutely safe now, he still couldn't calm down his beating heart.
"Who are you?" The voice on the other end of the phone rang again.
Wen Xiaohui couldn't take it anymore, and hung up decisively. He threw his phone on the sofa, feeling a layer of cold sweat dripping down his body, and his legs were still shaking.
Why is he rushing to do something stupid again? What exactly is he trying to do when he answers this call? Curious? No, it's not just curiosity, maybe, maybe subconsciously, he still wants to know who killed his sister, even though he knows that he may not have the courage and ability to take revenge, but he still wants to know!
He picked up the phone again and deleted the call log just now. If Luo Yi found out later and asked, he would... bite to death and deny it? Regardless, he couldn't think of a better way anyway.
After waiting for a while, Luo Yi came back.
"Brother Xiaohui? When did you come here?"
"Not long after you arrived, you just finished school."
"Yeah, I have something to do at school, wow." Luo Yi looked at the game console on the coffee table, "Did you buy it?"
Wen Xiaohui patted it proudly: "I brought it back from the United States. You said that this one seems to be very fun. We both like to play games, so we can play together in the future."
Luo Yi smiled and said, "Thank you."
"You are welcome, we are a family." Wen Xiaohui walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "You are really strong again."
Luo Yi stroked Wen Xiaohui's hair: "You also look a little more mature."
Wen Xiaohui touched his face: "I have fine lines, don't I?"
Luo Yi smiled and said, "No, it's just that you have matured a bit in terms of temperament, that's good, otherwise how can you be the leader of others."
"That's right, let me tell you, I went to the studio today and received a warm welcome." Wen Xiaohui beamed and talked about how he was treated in the studio today, his words were full of complacency.
Luo Yi washed his hands and listened to Wen Xiaohui while cooking. The atmosphere between the two was harmonious and harmonious. It seemed that nothing had changed after a year of separation.
Halfway through the meal, Luo Yi's cell phone rang, and he patted his leg: "I forgot to bring my cell phone when I went out today. I don't know how many people are looking for it."
When Wen Xiaohui heard the ringtone, his heart skipped a beat and he became nervous.
Luo Yi went over to answer the phone: "Hello, um, um."
Seeing his attitude, Wen Xiaohui shouldn't belong to "that person", so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Yi suddenly increased the print volume, and his tone was angry: "Why did you suddenly repent? Is this a play? How can you do things like this!" Luo Yi said as he walked out the door.
Wen Xiaohui was sitting in the dining room, and Luo Yi's angry voice could still be heard through a wall. He thought to himself, it must be the company's business.
After a long time, Luo Yi came back with a very ugly face: "I'm sorry, there is something wrong with the company."
"It's okay, let's eat quickly, it's time to get cold."
Luo Yi sat down and ate in silence.
Wen Xiaohui asked cautiously: "Luo Yi, are you okay? When I got off the plane that day, I felt that you were not in a good condition. You must not be worrying about the company's affairs during this time."
Luo Yi sighed and nodded lightly.
"Didn't we agree to focus our life on school? You are so young, why bother yourself?"
Luo Yi said: "Brother Xiaohui, you can't understand. Studying can't satisfy me anymore. For me, the school courses are not challenging at all, they are very boring, but starting a company is facing many challenges."
"But some challenges will make you very troubled, such as now, what is going on, is there anything I can do to help?"
Luo Yi shook his head: "It's just a lack of money. A venture capitalist agreed to invest, but now he backs out and proposes a lot of conditions that we can't agree to. If we can't get the funds, the project will be wasted and a large loss will be lost."
Wen Xiaohui's eyes widened: "It's so serious. Then, when will you need money? You will be eighteen years old in four months, and you can inherit the inheritance..."
"I can't wait for that time." Luo Yi forced a smile, "Let's not talk about this, I'll find a way, let's eat."
Seeing his preoccupied appearance, Wen Xiaohu lost his appetite. After dinner, he planned to take Luo Yi to try the new game console, but Luo Yi went to make a call with his mobile phone. Worrying about Luo Yi.
Luo Yi called for a long time, Wen Xiaohui even took a shower, Luo Yi returned to the bedroom with a tired face, and fell headlong on the bed.
Wen Xiaohui stroked his hair: "Look at you, you have to push yourself like this, why bother?"
Luo Yi grabbed his hand and pressed it against his cheek: "Brother Xiaohui, things are not as simple as you think, I think...'that person' is secretly tripping me up."
Wen Xiaohui was startled: "Why did he do this? No matter what you say, he is also..."
"I don't know... Remember I said that there might be something he wants in my mother's inheritance? I think he wants to blackmail me with this, and give him that thing after I inherit the inheritance. "
"What the hell is it?"
"I only know after inheriting it, but no matter what it is, I don't want to give it to him." Luo Yi frowned, "My instinct tells me that I just can't give it to him."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I don't know yet, let's think about other financing channels first, I don't want to be coerced by him."
Wen Xiaohui's heart was very heavy. Because he felt that, according to Sun Ying, that kind of thing might be the handle of that person Yaya had grasped. For such a thing, that person would definitely want to take it back, and it might not be a good thing for Luo Yi to have it, but such a thing he You can't talk nonsense without evidence, especially with Luo Yi's character, if you know that your mother may not have committed suicide... I don't know what I will do.
Wen Xiaohui didn't know how to comfort Luo Yi, so he could only stay silent with him.
After a long while, Luo Yi sat up and held onto Wen Xiaohui's hand: "Brother Xiaohui, I was very happy that you came back, but today it's a disappointment..."
"It's okay, what do you care about this?"
"You even bought me a gift..." Luo Yi lowered his eyes, "You are right, I am causing trouble for myself, I just dare not admit my failure, I thought I was smart, but ended up in business , I just realized that I was too shallow in the world, and I still have a lot of time to practice. Now that something goes wrong, I have indeed learned a lesson. If I can pass this level, I will definitely be more cautious in the future. Like you said, put Focus more on studying."
Wen Xiaohui smiled: "It's good if you can think that way. You are young and have a large inheritance waiting to be inherited. You really don't need to rush to make money. Take your time. The time has come. With your IQ, the money is definitely in the way." It can't stop flowing into your pocket."
Luo Yi smiled and said: "Okay." He looked at Wen Xiaohui with more affectionate eyes.
Under the gaze of those focused and profound gazes, Wen Xiaohui was immobilized as if he had been cast a spell on his body. He felt that Luo Yi's eyes had a kind of magical power, which gave him the illusion that he was going to fall into it and couldn't get out.
Luo Yi's face slowly came closer.
Just as he was about to stick Wen Xiaohui's lips, Wen Xiaohui turned his head away.
Luo Yi also lowered his head and sighed in disappointment.
Wen Xiaohui got out of bed: "Luo Yi, we can't sleep in the same room anymore, I'll go to sleep with my sister."
Luo Yi whispered, "Aren't you scared?"
"Actually, if you think about it, there's nothing to be afraid of. My sister won't harm me."
"Actually, I've already cleared out the nanny's room on the first floor." Luo Yi looked up at him, "I know that after you come back, you won't sleep with me anymore. Although the nanny's room is a bit small, it's also very clean and comfortable , if you don't want to sleep, then I'll go..."
"It's okay, I'll just sleep in the nanny's room." Wen Xiaohui said awkwardly, "Luo Yi, I've thought a lot in the past six months, and I dare to answer you directly about this question. I can't stop your feelings. You entrusted me, I was responsible, so I resisted your idea at first, but now I figured it out, I was a bit mediocre, after all, we are not related by blood, what sexual orientation you choose, who you choose to like, it is all up to you. It is your freedom. So starting today, I will not only treat you as a relative, but also as a man, but this does not mean that I will like you. "
Luo Yi's face suddenly lit up: "Okay...Okay!"
Wen Xiaohui looked at his undisguised joy, and felt a little sweet in his heart. It is always a beautiful thing to be liked.
Luo Yi remembered something: "Then... what about Li Shuo?"
"Li Shuo and I are still friends, we... Let nature take its course."
"I won't give you up to him." Luo Yi said firmly.
Wen Xiaohui smiled: "Let's talk about this when you are older, you should go to sleep quickly and have a good rest."
Luo Yi smiled softly: "Brother Xiaohui, good night."
"Good night."
