Wei Guanglei thought seriously about what kind of expression he should make at this moment.
But on second thought, don't be so frightened by a big man, he is a person who has even seen such a big scene as picking a fishbone, calm down!
Putting the stainless steel heat preservation bucket in his hand on the only table in the house, Wei Guanglei urged, "Hurry up, my mother ordered me to watch you finish drinking!"
Then he saw that Lu Shi entered the kitchen, took out a porcelain bowl and a small spoon from the cupboard, filled half a bowl of soup, and put it aside.
"There's still at home, I'll go back to drink later, I don't need to share—" Wei Guanglei got stuck.
He turned to look at the bedroom with the door closed, and then at the soup bowl in front of him.
Pooh! No wonder it fell for him.
Startled and startled, she calmed down.
Wei Guanglei sat down, "By the way, why did the young master sleep with you last night?"
Lu Shi explained, "He was drunk and called me to pick him up. It was too late, so he brought it back."
"No..." Wei Guanglei thought this sentence was strange.
He, Brother Lu, has never brought anyone back to his house, let alone spent the night in bed.
Moreover, "The young master is drunk, shouldn't he ask the driver of his family to drive to pick him up, why did he call you here?"
Lu Shi drank the soup with his eyes down, his expression unclear.
He replied, "Before I left, I told him to call me if I was drunk."
Wei Guanglei's heart skipped a beat.
I want him to need me, depend on me, and never leave me.
He still clearly remembered what Lu Shi said.
Not knowing what to say for a while, Wei Guanglei simply shut up.
After Lu Shi finished drinking the soup, washed the insulated bucket and put it away, Wei Guanglei was not in a hurry to go back.
He sat on the sofa, played games on his phone, raised his arm and waved.
"Brother Lu, I'm going to train a new hero, can you give me guidance?"
"Row."
Lu Shi simply chose this exercise set, holding a pencil, sat on the other side of the sofa and brushed the questions, giving Wei Guanglei two outfit suggestions from time to time.
Chu Yu woke up, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, and this was what he saw.
He just woke up, drank again, his head was dizzy, and he was not sober in a daze, "Lu Shi?"
"Um."
Lu Shi stopped doing the math, and pointed his pen in the direction, "The toothpaste and toothbrush are in the bathroom, and the light blue towel is yours."
"it is good."
Chu Yu dragged his steps to the bathroom to wash up, and after a while he popped his head out again, "Lu Shi, do you have a hairdryer at home?"
"No."
"Oh."
After a while, the bathroom door opened again, Chu Yu was embarrassed, "That... can I borrow a piece of clothing to wear? I smell like this!"
Lu Shi got up, took a white T-shirt from the closet, and threw it to Chu Yu.
It took half an hour for Chu Yu to come out of the bathroom.
Only Wei Guanglei was left on the sofa.
With his hair half wet, Chu Yu looked around, "Where's Lu Shi?"
"In the bedroom, I'm answering the phone. Holy crap, these three fucking people come to surround me, they look down on your father and me too much!" Wei Guanglei remembered, "By the way, there is soup on the table, which Lu Ge deliberately reserved for you. , my mother boiled it all night, it should taste pretty good!"
Chu Yu sat over and took a sip. The taste was not very good, but the warm soup was very comfortable to drink.
Before the bowl of soup was finished, the bedroom door opened. Lu Shi stood at the door and said to Chu Yu, "Come here."
Chu Yu put down the soup bowl and walked over.
The bedroom door was closed, and the white T-shirt that Chu Yu was wearing was one size larger and very loose.
He wondered, "What's the matter?"
"I'm going out the door, I'm leaving right away, and I'll be back tomorrow or the day after."
Chu Yu blinked, "That school—"
"I've already asked for leave."
"Okay, then, then you pay attention to safety."
When Chu Yu looked at Lu Shi, he always felt that Lu Shi was habitually calm on the surface, but compared to usual, he was slightly more anxious and anxious.
Seeing Lu Shi's fingers holding the phone so hard that they turned white, he guessed that it was probably related to the call.
Despite guessing in his heart, Chu Yu didn't ask much.
Lu Shi lowered his thin eyelids, "What should I do if I'm hungry?"
"I'm nothing. Although it's uncomfortable, it's good to endure it. Anyway, you'll be back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and it won't take long."
If it were another time, Chu Yu would be firm about where Lu Shi was going, and would ask as before if he could follow him.
But this time, it was clear that Lu Shi didn't want to.
It is estimated that he is not suitable to follow.
"Um."
Lu Shi put the phone in his pocket, "I'll be back as soon as possible."
Wei Guanglei was not surprised when he heard that Lu Shi was leaving.
In his memory, there were three or four times when Lu Shi suddenly said he would leave, and walked for two or three days.
Lu Shi never said what he was doing or what he was going to do, but every time he came back, he was not in a good mood. He would always have low air pressure for several days, and it would explode with a poke.
"My mother also said that I will stew pig's feet soup for you to nourish your brain at night. I will go back and tell her, and I will cook it next week."
Lu Shi carried a black backpack and hung it on one shoulder, "Well, thank you Aunt Rou for helping me."
Getting on the bus to the bus station, Lu Shi clicked on the call record and made a call back.
A gruff male voice answered the phone, "Hello?"
Holding the ring, Lu Shi stared at the slowly moving street scene outside the window and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Eighty percent chance."
The male voice on the phone said conservatively, "The time interval is too long to check. The address found this time is much more reliable than the previous ones, but I can't guarantee it completely."
"Um."
"Also, the mother-in-law I found is not very clear. Whether she can ask anything is up to the sky. Lu Shi, don't hold out too much hope."
The bus drove slowly, and the rings squeaked and squeaked as they swayed.
Through the glass window, you can hear the sound of trumpets outside, "Sugar cane sugar cane, ten yuan a bag, ten yuan a bag..."
Lu Shi was squinted by the sun, and he lowered his voice, "Thank you."
"No thanks, I take your money and do things for you, as it should be."
Taking the bus to the bus station, Lu Shi got on a bus called Xiali County, made two transfers, and finally arrived at a place called Xiali Town.
According to the address received on the mobile phone, Lu Shi stopped in front of a small supermarket.
At the entrance of the supermarket, there is a big blue sign that reads "Manly Supermarket".
The supermarket is not large, the shelves are compact, and there is not a single customer in it. There is a rocking car at the door, which is powered on and flashes red and green lights.
A woman in her thirties and forties in a black dress was sitting behind the cashier, playing with her cell phone.
Lu Shi entered the door and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Wang Zhenshu."
"That's my mother, who are you?"
There are only two streets in front and back of Xia Li Town, and there are not many people coming and going. Occasionally, an old man can be seen sitting on the side of the road chatting. When they saw the face of Lu, they all cast their eyes.
The woman in the black dress introduced herself as Li Manli. She pulled down the shutter door of the small supermarket, locked it, and walked into the alley with the landing.
"A few years ago, my mother used to say that when she was younger, she was a nanny for a wealthy family. I don't quite believe it. With her level of cooking, any wealthy family would hire her as a nanny. ?"
Going around a pile of construction waste, Li Manli smiled, "I didn't expect it to be true."
Lu Shi said few words, and listened to Li Manli's words, and answered from time to time.
Passing in front of a brick wall with the words "Insist on Sustainable Development" written on it, the two stopped in front of a small courtyard with a single door. Li Manli took out the key, opened the courtyard door, and shouted, "Mom, where are you? Someone is looking for it. !"
"Manly is back?"
An old man stepped out of the door, held on to the door frame, and stopped, "Who is looking for me?"
Li Manli pointed to Lu Shi, "He said his surname was Lu. Didn't you always say that you used to be a nanny in a rich family? People and children have come here."
Wang Zhenshu sat down on the rattan chair by the door, "The last name is Lu... Lu," she said after a dozen seconds, "Are you the child in Mrs. Lu's belly?"
Li Manli brought a chair to Lu Shi, and then asked Lu Shi if she wanted tea.
Lu Shi politely refused.
He answered Wang Zhenshu's question, "Well, I am."
He looked at the old man in front of him, and asked at a slow rate, "Eighteen years ago, in City S, you took care of a pregnant woman, right?"
When asked this question, Lu Shi was even a little nervous.
The string in my heart trembled slightly.
Wang Zhenshu nodded, "Yes, I have taken care of it. That Mrs. Lu likes to eat the hot and sour shredded potatoes I made. She has a big appetite when she is pregnant, and she has to eat a large plate for each meal."
Lu Shi's throat was a little dry.
"That's my mother. You," he said calmly, "can you tell me what happened back then?"
Wang Zhenshu recalled, "When you get old, your memory is not good. I remember that Mrs. Lu is well-educated and likes to read. She can also make phone calls and discuss problems with others. I have no culture and can't understand. Madam Lu just read the book and waited, no matter how persuaded she would not listen."
When people are old, recalling them is all trivial matters.
Lu Shi asked, "Are they in a good relationship?"
"Okay, very good, very loving. Mrs. Lu is pregnant, her feet are swollen, and it is difficult to wear shoes. When Mr. Lu came back, he put on her shoes and pinched her feet. The non-slip mats in the bathroom were also specially bought by Mr. Lu. Very meticulous care."
Wang Zhenshu looked at Lu Shi again, "Mrs. Lu also said that when the child is born, give me a hug. Unfortunately, I didn't wait. My husband was seriously ill, so I rushed back to my hometown. Before I left, Mrs. Lu gave me a lot of money. , this is all grace."
"When did you leave?"
"When? When... Oh, I left when Mrs. Lu was eight months pregnant. At that time, she had a big belly and stood at the door to see me off, smiling and telling me to pay attention to safety on the road. "
Speaking of which, Wang Zhenshu didn't know what she said. For a while, she said that the fire in the kitchen was still burning, and then said that it was getting dark, why did Man Li not come back.
Li Manli came over, "Mom, I came back early, and I forgot?"
She turned to Lu Shi apologetically, "Old man, I'm not sober when I'm old, and I'm confused."
Lu Shi sat for a while.
It wasn't until Li Manli helped Wang Zhenshu go back to the room to sleep that he seriously thanked him and got up and left.
Leaving from Xia Li Town, Lu Shi took the bus to the next town.
It was too late, and there was no bus back to Xiali County. He found a hotel near the station to stay.
Early on Monday morning, Chu Yu went to the classroom with an empty schoolbag.
The seat at the back of him was empty, Chu Yu glanced at it, and felt a little lost in his heart.
Seeing him, Zhang Yueshan asked, "Lu Shen has asked for leave, what's the matter?"
Chu Yu looked sullen. After sitting down, he put his chin on his hand and said slowly, "Squad leader, I don't know either."
"I thought you would know."
Zhang Yueshan looked at Chu Yu again, "School flower, are you... sick again?"
"What's wrong?" Chu Yu lost his strength to stare.
Since the early morning of last night, he has been up with a low fever all over his body, and he can't sleep because of the discomfort.
When he woke up in the morning, the sound of his heart "thumping" made his eardrums hurt. The blood vessels on both sides of the temple are about to explode.
"It's the disease you got when you started school!" Zhang Yueshan recalled with difficulty, "That... call, call, autonomic disorder! Yes, that's the name!"
"Well, almost."
Chu Yu finished speaking weakly, and prepared to lie down again.
Zhang Yueshan remembered, "By the way, Lu Shen is not here, who copied your homework?"
"No more copying."
Chu Yu lay down and said indifferently, "I'm too lazy to copy."
Thinking that the monthly exam had just passed, Chu Yu was not in the mood to study. Zhang Yueshan remembered something, "I heard news last night that Guan Yiyang has transferred."
Chu Yu's mind turned slowly, and it took him a few seconds to react, "Who is trying to call my father?"
"It's him, not only him, but also Fang Mingzhe, who framed you for cheating, and Shen Zhongming, the son of the director of the teaching and research section, all transferred!"
Li Huazheng was covering his ears and reciting the text. Hearing their gossip, he turned around and quickly joined in, "Also, Shen Zhongming stole his dad's key and opened the drawer to steal the test paper. It is said that he was hanged at home and beaten at the door of the crying community. I can hear you." He added, "His house lives on the twentieth floor."
Next, Zhang Yueshan began to discuss with Li Hua about whether Shen Zhongming lived on the 20th floor and whether the cry could reach the gate of the community.
Chu Yu didn't participate, and he felt a little irritable.
Turning to look at the empty seat behind him, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Chu Yu just lay there all day.
As it got dark, the street lights downstairs gradually turned on.
After the bell rang, the teaching building was about to collapse, and the "dong, dong, dong" were all footsteps.
Chu Yu stood up on the table, ready to go back to the dormitory and continue to lie down.
Zhang Yueshan packed up his schoolbag, saw Chu Yu staggering unsteadily, and worried, "School flower, can you do it? Would you like to help you?"
Chu Yu was quite aware, he waved his hand, "No, I can still go."
Zhang Yueshan was not at ease, and followed Chu Yu and escorted him downstairs.
At the age of 16 or 17, it is when the appetite is large, and if I don’t eat late at night, I can wake up hungry in the middle of the night.
Zhang Yueshan pointed in the direction of the cafeteria, "Can you really walk back? Then, I went?"
Chu Yu was also hungry, but there was nothing he could eat in the cafeteria. For a time, he felt very sad.
He nodded slightly, "Well, see you tomorrow."
Back in the bedroom, Chu Yu didn't turn on the lamp, and just lay down.
He closed his eyes, groggy and confused, when he heard the phone ringing.
He reached out and touched for a long time, picked up the phone, opened one eye, and found that it was Lu Shilai's call.
Chu Yu sat up instantly.
"Hey?"
When the call was connected, Chu Yu could hear the whirring of the wind coming from the receiver.
"it's me."
Lu Shi's voice came over, mixed with a faint current.
"Are you hungry?"
Chu Yu leaned against the wall, lowered his head, unconsciously dragged his tone, and answered honestly, "I'm so hungry."
He asked again, "Where are you now? I'll find you."
"By the Qingchuan River."
Lu Shi's voice was more hoarse than usual, with the wind by the river, which made people feel a little sad.
"Don't come here, I'll go back to school and open the door for me later."
Hanging up the phone, Chu Yu lay on the bed, listening to the movement outside the door.
It was so fucking hard to wait.
He thought endlessly again, what was Lu Shi going to do? Mysterious.
And listening to the voice, I don't know if it's his illusion, but it always feels a little different from usual.
Chu Yu grabbed a memory.
In the locker room, Lu Shi answered the phone with the same voice.
It's like I'm going to cry in the next second.
Every minute and every second is extremely difficult to endure.
Until there was a soft knock on the door three times.
Chu Yu didn't wear any slippers, stepped on the carpet with bare feet, and ran to the door in two or three steps.
Lu Shi entered and closed the dormitory door with his backhand.
The room was pitch black.
"No lights on?"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Shi felt someone pounce on him, and he sat down on the carpet following the other's soft strength.
In the darkness, he could vaguely see the silhouette of the other party.
Lu Shi was pressed by Chu Yu, so he simply relaxed and let him move.
Feeling that Chu Yu groped and touched his collar, he pulled it away, and soon, there was a slight tingling in the shoulders, and the slight movement of sucking blood.
He wrapped his arms around Chu Yu's waist and took the person in his arms. Lu Shi's voice was hoarse and whispered, "I know you're hungry, be nice, don't worry, drink slowly."
I ran back and forth for the past two days, but as before, I found nothing.
Chilled by the early autumn night wind, even the tips of my fingers are ice-cold.
The person in his arms is as warm as the warm sun in spring.
Lu Shi lay on the carpet, hugged Chu Yu, and slowly closed his eyes, his tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment.
