Applaud for Happiness

Chapter 31: End of applause for the iceberg

Views:

An Ze didn't appear as early as Shen Qi thought, and for the next two months, everything was calm, neither Lu Jun nor Lu Zhuo mentioned these two words in front of him.

In August, Shen Qi celebrated his 23rd birthday, and the birthday party was not a big one. He only invited some friends he knew well. After Mr. Lu's birthday party, with the help of Lu Zhuo, he had a choice. I made some friends, and there were a few young people who stayed in Lu's house. Everyone gathered around and held a small reception happily.

After all, it is the home of young people, and Mr. Lu didn't come out. When he presented his birthday present, he specially asked Uncle Shen to bring him a big gift to give him a face.

However, the presence of Lu Zhuo and Lu Jun actually made outsiders dare not look down on him.

After the lively banquet was over, and the guests were sent off, Lu Jun and his cousins left a space for the two of them to be alone with each other, and went to the guest building with a smile.

Without the outsiders, Lu Zhuo stood up from the wheelchair and took Shen Qi's hand: "Follow me."

"Where are you going?" Shen Qi wondered, was he going to give him a gift? Everyone gave it just now, only Lu Zhuo didn't, he thought he had forgotten.

Lu Zhuo led him all the way from the banquet hall back to the main building, through the living room, and went straight to the kitchen: "Here it is."

"This is..." Shen Qi continued to wonder.

"You sit here." Lu Zhuo pressed his shoulders to let him sit down in front of the counter, then slowly rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen stove, "Wait a while, it'll be ready soon."

The chicken soup in the pot is ready, he just needs to turn on the fire, open the cabinet above, and sure enough there are what he needs, a bowl of prepared noodles, and a bowl of chopped and washed vegetables.

Shen Qi was dazed at first, but when he saw his actions, his eyes widened: "You want to cook for me? Longevity noodles?"

When Lu Zhuo heard the movement of him getting up, he turned back immediately: "You sit and don't move, I'll come, you just wait and eat."

Shen Qi stared at him blankly, not knowing how to react for a while, feeling inexplicable in her heart, finally smiled, and sat down again: "Okay, I'll wait."

Because it is only for one person, the chicken soup quickly boils, and the noodles are poured in. Carefully poke the noodles with chopsticks to prevent sticking. When the noodles are almost cooked, pour the prepared vegetables in, and beat an egg. A bowl-sized pot does not need to be fished, just serve it as a bowl, and just add simple seasonings.

Lu Zhuo turned off the fire, brought the pot directly over, and placed it in front of Shen Qi: "Okay, how about a taste?" He put down a pair of chopsticks.

Shen Qi bowed his head, the faint fragrance was tangy, a very simple bowl of noodles in clear soup, with a good appearance, a poached egg lying in the middle, surrounded by various vegetables, red carrots, green small greens, black seaweed and fungus, and With some shallots and coriander floating, it looks very refreshing and delicious.

Lu Zhuo sat down beside him, and he was a little uneasy in his heart: "This is my first time cooking, and it's not good, don't dislike it, longevity noodles, just eat what you want."

"Then you are very talented." Shen Qi picked up the chopsticks and smiled, "This side looks delicious, how could you think of making longevity noodles as a birthday present for me?"

"You always cook for me, I want to try cooking it for you." Lu Zhuo looked calm, the coldness on his face became less and less, vaguely reminding Shen Qi of the bright and enthusiastic teenager on the basketball court , "I can't do anything else. This one is simple. It happens to be your birthday again. I'll make it for you."

Shen Qi took a piece of vegetable and tasted it, his eyes lit up: "Not bad."

It's really good, not to mention how delicious it is, at least it's normal. It's really good for the first time.

"This is a piece of noodles, you must eat it from the beginning to the end without breaking it." Lu Zhuo took the chopsticks from his hand, helped him pick out one end, and fed it to his mouth.

Shen Qi took a bite and reached for the chopsticks, but was blocked by Lu Zhuo, with a serious expression: "I'll hold it for you, you can't break it."

Shen Qi laughed, unable to speak with the food in his mouth, so he could only use his hand to finish a piece of noodles bit by bit.

Lu Zhuo looked at his bulging face, patted his head, and praised: "It's awesome."

With this expression, he is not a three-year-old child!

Shen Qi glared at him, chomped down and swallowed the noodles with great effort, then picked up the vegetables to eat, and finally drank the soup.

Fortunately, he didn't eat too much at the banquet before, and this bowl of noodles wasn't much, otherwise he would definitely have to endure it.

"It's over, look!" He showed it to Lu Zhuo, he was funny enough, there was nothing left.

Lu Zhuo took out a tissue and wiped his mouth for him, with a smile in his eyes. After wiping, he took something out of his pocket and put it in Shen Qi's palm: "Longevity noodles are a blessing, this is a gift."

It's a small box, this style...

Shen Qixin suddenly thumped twice, opened it, and sure enough, it was a ring, to be precise, a pair of rings, a silver platinum ring, very simple style, only the top was inlaid with a small diamond.

wait-

This is to... Propose

Lu Zhuo took off the ring in his suspicious eyes, picked up the smaller ring first, took his hand, and put it on his ring finger without hesitation.

Then he put the remaining ring in his palm, and he stared at him with a solemn and firm expression: "I may not be able to give you an upright wedding, but I hope you can accompany me through the rest of my life, In the name of the ancestors of the Lu family, I promise that I will love you, respect you, and accompany you to your old age in this life, okay?"

Shen Qi was a little confused by this sudden formality. It was the first time for him to be proposed so solemnly. The last time he proposed to Jiang Changshen, and because it was at the awards ceremony, it was very lively and jubilant. , but now, suddenly being proposed, and still in the kitchen, it's really...

belch!

He couldn't hold back for a while, and even hiccupped.

The four eyes met, and in the next second, Qi Qi laughed, and the tense and serious atmosphere disappeared.

Lu Zhuo felt a little helpless. He stroked his forehead, and he knew that when he was with Ah Qi, he shouldn't be serious.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Shen Qi apologized, he picked up the ring, and put it on Lu Zhuo briskly, "Okay, I promise you!"

Putting two hands together, two identical rings, saw him smiling and squinting.

"Say what I just said again." Shen Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled, this was the first time he heard Lu Zhuo say this kind of love, but it was much more unusual than the ring.

Lu Zhuo coughed lightly, "I like you."

"It's not this, it's those words just now."

Lu Zhuo regained his paralyzed face: "What I just said is what I want to express."

How can this be the same! Shen Qi was speechless, but no matter how obsessed he was, Lu Zhuo didn't say a word more, and these words were only said in his life, only today, when he proposed to marry him, making Shen Qi regret it later, regret not recording it .

After eating and drinking, he proposed marriage, Shen Qi licked his lips: "Let's do it."

Lu Zhuo: …

Why did it suddenly turn to this kind of thing? !

Shen Qi's face was taken for granted: "You proposed, I accepted, then tonight is the wedding night, do you want me to be alone in the empty room?"

Lu Zhuo suddenly felt a little pain in his kidneys.

Not to mention how tossing about the so-called wedding night, in a blink of an eye, at the end of September, at the end of the plot, An Ze finally appeared.

At that time, Shen Qi and Lu Zhuo were attending a banquet, and the Zhuo family, which is comparable to the Lu family, held an engagement banquet. Shen Qi and Lu Zhuo attended on behalf of the Lu family. No one expected that An Ze would appear at the engagement banquet.

The relationship between the Zhuo family and the Lu family is actually not good.

Shen Qi and Lu Zhuo agreed in advance that they planned to give the gift and leave after the engagement ceremony and a few words of greetings. Who would have guessed that they saw An Ze.

The Zhuo family is much more prosperous than the Lu family. There are six men of the same age as Lu Zhuo, and they are not the same mother. Today is engaged to Zhuo Sanshao, born by his first wife, and the other five sons are mistresses. He was born, but Zhuo's father was very miraculous. He recognized all his sons home. It is said that he originally wanted to take them to his original wife to raise them, but he refused to allow his mistress to raise them himself.

Lu Jun privately complained that President Zhuo thought he was an ancient emperor.

An Ze came with Zhuo Si Shao, and Shen Qi recognized him at a glance. Without him, apart from him and Lu Zhuo, he was the most handsome.

Compared with the An Ze in his youth that Lu Jun showed him, An Ze is more beautiful now, but he doesn't look feminine at all, but this kind of beauty gives people an immodest feeling. He still had a kind of greenness and clarity, but now he looks ghostly and demonic, looking at him with a pair of eyes, always giving people an indescribable sense of depression.

When Shen Qi saw him, four words came to mind: coquettish bitch.

On second thought, isn't he a pure and unpretentious protagonist? Not to mention that it is quite similar, this time he changed the shape of his eyebrows and his temperament. Although the facial features have not changed, compared to the last time Shen Xiaoqi, who was handsome and almost strong, was indeed purer.

So Lu Zhuo is the kind of male protagonist who doesn't like coquettish bitches and prefers pure and unpretentious

Thinking of this, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Why are you so happy?" Lu Zhuo didn't seem to see An Ze, so he peeled a peanut and fed it to Shen Qi's mouth.

Shen Qi leaned close to his ear and whispered to him what he had just thought, the more he talked, the more happy he became.

Lu Zhuo laughed and rubbed his head: "Naughty."

His smile caused the people around him to be amazed again and again. When the famous Lu Yanwang also laughed like this, many eyes fell on Shen Qi.

Zhuo Si Shao happened to bring An Ze to their table, and said with a loud laugh, "What makes Brother Lu so happy?"

Lu Zhuo restrained his smile and glanced at him lightly. He didn't mean to talk to him. He just nodded his chin and introduced to Shen Qi, "This is Zhuo Si, my brother, Shen Qi."

Zhuo Sishao didn't care about Lu Zhuo's indifference, looked at Shen Qi, and said suddenly: "I know, your father Lu received a godfather a few months ago, this is it, hello, my name is Zhuo Ann, just call me Zhuo Si."

"Hello." Shen Qi learned from Lu Zhuo and nodded lightly.

Neither he nor Lu Zhuo were curious about An Ze who was following Zhuo Si Shao's side. From the beginning to the end, they didn't give him a look.

On the other hand, Zhuo Si Shao took the initiative to introduce: "This is my friend, An Ze, don't look at him young, but he is a top student who graduated from a famous foreign university. I asked him to come back to help me after a long time."

Shen Qi's heart was suddenly stunned, no wonder Zhuo Fourth Shao pulled people from table to table to introduce him. This was to make Anze familiar with everyone in front of everyone, and he would take care of him when he met in the mall in the future.

It is very interesting that An Ze works for the Zhuo family. It is impossible for him not to know the competition between the Lu family and the Zhuo family, so he has not given up.

So Lu Zhuo's car accident was the work of the Zhuo family

Shen Qi narrowed his eyes.

It was really difficult for him to understand An Ze's brain circuit. With this skill, he might as well go find his mother who is the culprit, and why is it that he always catches the Lu family and doesn't let him go.

An Ze just took a step forward, his eyes stared straight at Lu Zhuo, and he smiled: "Long time no see, I'm back."

Lu Zhuo's expression was calm, without any change, very cold, as if looking at a stranger again, with the most basic courtesy: "Hello."

The smile on An Ze's face faded.

Shen Qi pouted and ignored it. Anyway, people didn't greet him, or even ignored him, and he didn't need to jump out to make fun of him.

Zhuo Si was surprised and looked at An Ze and Lu Zhuo: "Do you know each other?"

"Yeah." An Ze's eyes rolled, and the smile on his lips was meaningful, "A Zhuo and I were classmates, from high school to university, until I went abroad." He glanced at Lu Zhuo's wheelchair, his eyes showing distressed , "I'm sorry, Ah Zhuo, I left in a hurry back then, I didn't know you became like this."

He had a look of pity and sympathy, but Shen Qi felt that there was unspeakable malice in his eyes, and a fire burst into his heart.

Lu Zhuo raised his eyes, as if he could see him clearly now, his expression was light, and his tone brought a hint of surprise: "Sorry, I don't remember you among the classmates I know, I'm afraid you are mistaken."

An Ze's face turned gloomy for a moment, and then turned sad: "I know you blame me for leaving without saying hello to you, but I have no choice, I—"

Lu Zhuo interrupted him: "Sir, I don't know you." He didn't talk nonsense to An Ze, and looked directly at Zhuo Si, "Please take your friend to the hospital, it's better to hang up Neurosurgery, if you don't mind, I have a doctor who I know well and can introduce you to me."

"Pfft—" Shen Qi laughed unceremoniously, and it was indeed a poisonous tongue.

The people who were following around here didn't expect to see such a good show. Although they were all cultivated and didn't say anything out loud, they were happy when they heard it.

Zhuo Si Shao and An Ze looked ugly.

"Sorry." Zhuo Si glared at An Ze, because of Lu Zhuo's identity, he could only hang up a stiff smile, "He may have identified the wrong person."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking at An Ze.

An Ze quickly sorted out his expression, as if he looked down on something in an instant, and sighed: "Forget it, if you don't know it, then you don't know it. I thought..." He hesitated, as if he had a thousand words to say. But he was hurt by Lu Zhuo's attitude and didn't want to talk anymore.

"He doesn't know you, I know you." Shen Qi said with a smile, "Your name is An Ze, right, come on, I have something to show you."

Lu Zhuo wanted to stop it, but Shen Qi glared at it, grabbed a handful of peanuts and put it in front of him: "Peel it for me."

Lu Zhuo laughed, and obediently peeled off the peanuts.

An Ze seemed to notice someone next to him. He turned his eyes and landed on Shen Qi. After a pause, he took two steps forward. Although he was standing on Shen Qi's side, he went to Lu Zhuo's side.

"Look!" Shen Qi put the back of his hand on the table next to Lu Zhuo's hand peeling the peanuts. Lu Zhuo immediately understood what he meant, and spread out his hands in cooperation with him.

Two brightly paired rings appeared in front of them.

An Ze's face froze, and there was a trace of panic in his heart. No, it was impossible. He hated the Lu family, including Lu Zhuo. The Lu family was his enemy. If it wasn't for the Lu family, he would not have been ruined!

He suppressed his tumbling emotions and looked at Lu Zhuo again, with a trace of obvious pleasure and contempt, and whispered softly, his tone was unhurried, even with a smile: "It seems that you are indeed disabled, and you would find such a person. It seems that you will show your only self-esteem in front of such people."

After saying that, he chuckled and turned away.

Shen Qi looked at his back, turned to look at Lu Zhuo, and pointed at his head: "Is there really no problem with him here?"

Why does he think that An Ze is really sick? Is there really no problem with the expression, the eyes, and the spirit

Lu Zhuo put the peeled peanuts into his mouth one by one: "Don't pay attention to irrelevant people."

Shen Qi said vaguely: "Let's be careful, I always feel that something is wrong with him. If he wants to take revenge, who knows if he will make a desperate attempt or something."

Lu Zhuo stuffed the last peanut into his mouth, and stirred his fingers in his mouth calmly: "Don't worry, I will solve it."

Shen Qi immediately stuck out the tip of his tongue and hooked his finger and licked it. He waited until the fingertips were stained with bright water before letting go. He licked his lips with a sigh of relief: "Let's go back."

Blink: go back and do it.

Lu Zhuo: …

Call you a jerk!

Facts have proved that Shen Qi was right, An Ze did not give up, he joined the Zhuo family to make trouble for the Lu family, to be precise, to make trouble for Lu Zhuo.

After several projects in a row, they kept showing a sense of presence in front of Lu Zhuo.

There is no car accident and no other accident that will kill Lu Zhuo. He only focuses on any opportunity that appears in front of Lu Zhuo. People who don't know look at An Ze's performance and almost make up their minds about love, hate and hatred. What because of love into hate, love and hate intertwined.

Fortunately, Lu Zhuo's attitude was firm, and he looked like he didn't know An Ze at all except for official business.

Shen Qi was so angry that he grabbed Lu Zhuo the next day and followed him wherever he went.

"Can't we just solve him all at once?" He was dissatisfied.

Lu Zhuo narrowed his eyes: "Come on, wait a minute."

Shen Qi wanted to say more, but when he picked him up and pressed him on the desk, Anze was thrown aside and his eyes lit up.

Afterwards, Shen Qi lay down on the sofa and took out his notes to memorize the aftermath. Lu Zhuo sucked a bag of tonic while working, inexplicably felt a sense of melancholy that he would fall out of favor if he didn't work hard.

Lu Zhuo said it was very fast, really fast. I don't know how he did it. He took over all the projects that Anze was in charge of, and he slapped the other side hard, causing Zhuo to lose again and again, and Zhuo Si to be deceived. President Zhuo ordered to think about it behind closed doors, and Anze was directly swept out of the door by Zhuo.

The last time Shen Qi saw An Ze was at the foot of Lu Zhai Mountain. He and Lu Zhuo took the car home. It was raining heavily outside, and An Ze rushed out and stopped in front of the car.

He didn't have an umbrella, he was soaked all over, his lips were blue and purple, and he looked very pitiful.

He resolutely refused to let go until the driver rolled down the window and rushed to the window in three or two steps: "A Zhuo, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was blinded by hatred, I love you, I really I love you..."

"Drive." Lu Zhuo didn't even look at him, he directly told the driver to leave.

Shen Qi had a sullen face, unhappy.

Lu Zhuo coaxed left and right, but he could only use his trump card. He picked him up and threw him on the bed without saying a word. He had already realized that when dealing with Shen Qi, there was nothing that couldn't be solved once, if not, then twice. .

Shen Qi was finally comfortable, but still a little uncomfortable: "If, I mean if, if An Ze really knew it was wrong and really liked you, would you be with him?"

"No." Lu Zhuo shook his head, "He doesn't really know what's wrong, no, or he doesn't know what's wrong at all, just talking about today's matter, in fact, he can choose a sunny day. But he chose to choose a heavy rainy day, drenched in the rain, and it seemed that he was pitiful, and he had to play tricks at such a time, how could I be with him with such a person."

"That's true." Shen Qi nodded, then thought about something wrong and squinted, "Wait, you seem to know him very well when you say that."

Lu Zhuo supported his forehead, but he didn't expect to dig a hole for himself, so he decisively lifted the quilt and overwhelmed Shen Qi.

"Wait." It's rare to catch the little braid, how can I miss such a good opportunity, Shen Qi got up, took out his notes from the drawer, turned it over, turned to a certain page, "How about this?" Turning over, "And this, this..."

Lu Zhuo felt a dull pain in his kidneys again.

The time was when Shen Qi devoted himself to research and vowed to write a book of Long Yang Daquan. Lu Zhuo passed away day by day worrying about the health of his kidneys.

After they were together for six years, Mr. Lu fell in the yard. Although he was rescued, he still went.

Most of the inheritance he left behind was given to Lu Zhuo and a small part to Lu Jun. To Shen Qi's surprise, he even left a small portion for him, and Uncle Shen also had it.

As soon as Mr. Lu left, Uncle Shen seemed to have lost his backbone and quickly grew old. He also left five years later.

Then there was Father Lu, who silently lost his breath one day.

Lu Jun got married three years after Shen Qi and Lu Zhuo were together, and moved out of Lu's house, leaving Shen Qi and Lu Zhuo alone.

They didn't want any children. Lu Jun gave birth to four children, two boys and two girls. The youngest son was sent to Lu's house and adopted to them.

It was the first time for Shen Qi to raise a child. In the past, the main task was to counterattack. It was too late to dig a hole for the protagonist. How could he have the time to get married and have children.

In the previous world, those nephews, nieces, nephews, and nephews were sent to him and Jiang Changshen when they were sensible, and they didn't need to worry about it at all.

The two novice fathers were in a hurry. Shen Qi had to put down the restaurant in his hand and take care of the baby at home full-time. Watching the little baby grow up little by little, he could crawl and walk, tell his father to run and jump, and be mischievous. Will cry and make trouble, then go to school to be sensible, get married and have children.

And he and Lu Zhuo grew old little by little until they lost their breath.

Lu Zhuo was still the first to walk. His legs were left with sequelae. When he was older, he would suffer from pain on rainy days. Later, he really had to rely on a wheelchair.

He didn't even live as long as Mr. Lu, and he fell down when he was only seventy-three.

At the last moment, he took off the respirator, held Shen Qi's hand, put it to his lips, and kissed the ring on his hand very softly, his eyes fixed on him, as if all the emotions were melted together In the kiss, he closed his eyes apologetically.

I'm sorry to leave you alone, I'll go first.

"Happiness value +1"

"Happiness is complete."

Shen Qi fell straight down and never woke up again.
