In December, the weather is still the same, but the atmosphere of Jianing Private has changed from the inside out.
There is Christmas at the end of December, and a few days later, there is the New Year's Day theatrical party.
Zhang Yueshan held the thermos cup and muttered, "Apple, Apple, Apple..."
Chu Yu was so annoyed that he took off the toilet paper balls stuck in his ears, "Squad leader, if you want to eat apples, I will buy you a box right away! If one box is not enough, come ten boxes! A truck is no problem! Please! , stop reading, you've been reading all morning!"
Zhang Yueshan had a tangled face and sighed, "You don't understand the school flower, we will send apples on Christmas Eve."
"I asked you to give apples, but I didn't want you to give people heads on Christmas Eve!"
Zhang Yueshan stared, "My day, don't say it so scary, okay? It's not Halloween!" He slumped his shoulders again, "Alas, you don't understand."
Chu Yu raised his chin, "Why don't I understand it? Isn't giving apples a marketing tool that the apple sellers came up with, so what, yes, a sense of ritual!"
Li Hua removed the draft paper, turned his head, and said deeply, "In the faraway Jianing Private Residence, there is a beautiful legend, that is, on Christmas Eve, buy two apples and give one of them to the person you like. If the other party accepts and eats it, it means that you have left the ranks of being single and are about to reap a sweet love."
After speaking, he pointed to the other side, "Look."
Looking in the direction of Li Hua's finger, Chu Yu saw that Brother Meng was nibbling on an apple, his expression was not very good, and his brows were wrinkled.
Chu Yu wondered, "Brother Meng doesn't look good eating apples, so why look at him? And why are you so bitter?"
"This is the fourth apple that Brother Meng has eaten today. He has eaten the twentieth in the past three days. He is trying for himself which apple is the best. Then he chooses the best one and gives it to him. that girl."
Chu Yu secretly took a breath - my day, is this really not going to eat and vomit
Li Hua finished his popular science, sat down again, and continued to do his homework. Zhang Yueshan frowned, lay down on Chu Yu's table, and sighed, "School flower, I'm so anxious."
"I see."
"Do I really want to send apples?"
Chu Yu remembered that when they were trapped in the cave, Zhang Yueshan told him that he had been secretly in love with a girl, but he didn't dare to confess.
Thinking of this, Chu Yu also lay down on the desk, stared at Zhang Yueshan, and gave an idea, "I think, why don't you give it away? If you are afraid, you can be euphemistic and concealed, such as sending an apple, and then sending another one. banana!"
"What's the principle of sending bananas?"
Chu Yu was just talking nonsense, and he really wanted to give some reason, "Probably... Right, banana means, quickly peel off my coat, and show you the soft, snow-white and sweet heart right away!"
Zhang Yueshan couldn't stop laughing, "I'm so stupid, you are too talented as a school girl!"
Chu Yu was proud, "Of course!"
He encouraged him again, "Isn't there a good saying, 'You confessed to me at the graduation dinner, I cried, where the fuck have you been for the first three years?' If you don't say it, how will others know that you like her, right? This reason?"
Zhang Yueshan was quickly persuaded, and his ears were a little hot, "Then, I'll go to Brother Meng for advice in a while, which apples are delicious!"
He held up Chu Yu's hand with both hands again, and said affectionately, "School Flower, you are the lighthouse, pointing out the direction of my life!"
Chu Yu laughed, "Get out of your mother's lighthouse, the lighthouse is so ugly! Real name refused!"
In the afternoon after school activities, Chu Yu strolled to the constant temperature botanical garden and turned on the irrigation equipment inside. After confirming that there is no problem, I went through the corridor again and went to the glass greenhouse.
Lu Shi was checking the damage of the irrigation equipment. Chu Yu, like a small tail, followed closely behind him and opened his mouth, "That... do you like—what season do you like!"
Lu Shi lowered his head and wrote a note on the record book, and replied casually, "I like it all."
"Then do you like—sunny or rainy?"
"rain."
"Do you like sugar in your coffee?"
"do not like."
Chu Yu opened his mouth to ask again, but Lu Shi suddenly straightened up and put the pencil in his hand between his lips, "Shh-Chu Yu, think about what you want to ask."
Lu Shi's lips were clear, a little thin, and looked a little cold. But Chu Yu knew that when he laughed, his lips were particularly beautiful.
Chu Yu admitted that he seemed to be caught by this action.
The brain entered a state of confusion again, Chu Yu heard himself stumbling and asked, "Lu Shi, do you like eating apples?"
Lu Shi's lips curled into a smile, "I don't like it."
"But it depends on who sent it."
There is still a lot of time before the end of the extracurricular activities. Chu Yu walked around the greenhouse twice, touching the petals in the east, the leaves in the west, and finally sat down when it landed.
Seeing Lu Shi had his headphones plugged in, he was curious, "What are you listening to?"
Lu Shi didn't answer, just put the earphones into Chu Yu's ears.
"Mrs. Lu, don't get excited, calm down—"
"How dare that woman! How dare she protest in front of me! How dare she! How do you want me to be calm? How calm..."
The female voice from the headphones was hysterical.
Chu Yu was startled, then leaned closer and asked Lu Shi in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Remember the name Iris?"
"Remember, current lover!"
"Well, Lu Shaochu was not at home. Iris visited Fang Weiyun and told her that Lu Shaochu often said in front of him that Fang Weiyun was old, eccentric, and annoying, if he hadn't been worried about the wind and the Lu family. Face, divorced long ago."
"So Fang Weiyun exploded?"
"Yes. Dr. Sun who was on the phone with Fang Weiyun is Fang Weiyun's personal psychiatrist. But Fang Weiyun never dared to go to Dr. Sun's clinic, nor to meet him, for fear of being discovered and news of her psychological problems."
Chu Yu understood.
Fang Weiyun's scruples made it easier for Lu Shi to know the conversation between Fang Weiyun and the psychiatrist just by monitoring the phone.
He thought for a while, "But... No, that Iris, why did she suddenly go to Fang Weiyun to demonstrate? Is she so confident?"
"because I."
Lu Shi said, stretched out his hand, and loosely wrapped Chu Yu's fair wrist. The pulp of the thumb, along the cyan veins under the skin, slowly rubbed.
"I revealed the news to Iris. I'm not Fang Weiyun's son. Fang Weiyun has been married to the Lu family for more than ten years and has no children at all. Lu Shaochu and her are just a couple on the surface. appearance."
Chu Yu understood in an instant.
That's why Iris, as a favored lover, would blatantly run to provoke Fang Weiyun.
And Lu Shi's purpose is probably... to stimulate Fang Weiyun and reveal more information
In the headset, the call has not been hung up.
Fang Weiyun said, and suddenly trembled, "Also, also, the woman who came to the door really looks like her! Especially the mole under the eyes, it looks very similar! Impossible, impossible, she has already Dead... already dead! Already turned into a water ghost!"
Dr. Sun seemed to be frightened by Fang Weiyun's scream, but quickly regained his professionalism, "Mrs. Lu, are you okay? Please calm down. Who do you think Iris looks like? Who is dead? ?"
In less than ten seconds, Fang Weiyun quickly realized that she had made a mistake in her words, as if she had touched an untouchable red line, she suddenly calmed down, and her voice quickly returned to her usual warm words, "Doctor Sun, what are you talking about? I do not understand."
The change in tone and mood before and after this made Chu Yu's skin goosebumps.
But I have to sigh with emotion, Fang Weiyun really keeps her secrets tightly all the time, and she can't see through the wind.
Dr. Sun seemed to be used to Fang Weiyun's mood changes, "Just calm down. I didn't say anything just now, you heard it wrong."
The phone hung up, and the voice in the earphone disappeared. Chu Yu couldn't help rubbing his arms, "It's scary!"
He exhaled and wondered, "However, why does Fang Weiyun think that Iris looks like your mother? The moles under the eyes are in the same place, so coincidentally?"
Lu Shi was still rubbing Chu Yu's wrist inch by inch. He lowered his eyelids and said softly, "Because this is not a coincidence."
Raising his eyes, Lu Shi fixedly looked into Chu Yu's eyes, "Because I found people. It was me, secretly, who gave this woman named Iris a chance, sent her to Lu Shaochu, and made her succeed. Replacing Feng Luwei and becoming Lu Shaochu's current lover.
It was me who revealed the news to Iris, and gave her the confidence to come and challenge her. "
Chu Yu's pupils shrank.
Lu Shi rubbed the balls of his fingers on the raised round bones of Chu Yu's wrist, as if stroking ancient treasures.
"Although Lu Shaochu is promiscuous and diligent, he loves face very much. In front of outsiders, he prides himself on being affectionate. Therefore, he can only have one lover at the same time. And each of his lovers, most of them, have a time limit. They only last one to three months, after which they will be abandoned.
But Iris is different, she is smart, she has been by Lu Shaochu's side for four months. "
Chu Yu quickly clarified the context.
Yi Ruisi's favor beyond the "rules" made Fang Weiyun feel a sense of crisis, and she didn't even dare to go on vacation, worried that once she left, the position of "Mrs. Lu" would be taken away.
And Iris came to the door to provoke and demonstrate, which threatened Fang Weiyun's long-standing "main room" dignity, and made her feel a deeper sense of crisis, which made her subconsciously realize that this Iris was the same as Lu Shaochu before. The lovers are different.
Why did Iris dare to come to provoke her? It must be the confidence that Lu Shaochu gave her.
So, when he didn't know, did Lu Shaochu really leak something to Iris
Fang Weiyun was afraid.
She is younger than herself, and she can catch men's hearts than she is, and she is aggressive.
And the mole under Iris' eyes that looks exactly like Jiang Yueshun's became the last straw that crushed Fang Weiyun, making her unable to control her emotions and maintain her sense of reason.
The woman who came to the door really looked like her. Especially the mole under the eyes, it looks very like, impossible, she is already dead, she has already become a water ghost—
Chu Yu suddenly stood up, the earphones in his ears were pulled by the wire and fell out. He ignored it and said to Lu Shi, "Water ghost! Fang Weiyun said the word water ghost!"
Lu Shi's expression was calm, he pulled Chu Yu's wrist and asked him to sit beside him again.
Chu Yu's mind turned fast, "Could it be, on a rainy day, she—"
Having said that, Chu Yu suddenly stopped talking.
Even he heard it. It is very likely that Lu Shi's mother was killed by Fang Weiyun on a rainy day seventeen years ago, and then threw it into the water.
Until now, she may still be sleeping in a certain river, in a certain river.
That's why Fang Weiyun couldn't sleep on a rainy day and said that Jiang Yueshun had become a water ghost.
How could Lu Shi not hear what he could think of
Chu Yu lowered his voice, "Lu Shi—"
That sad feeling resurfaced again.
Chu Yu felt a pain in his throat, and he shouted again, "Lu Shi."
Lu Shi moved down Chu Yu's wrist and touched the soft texture of his palm.
"Are you scared?"
This is Lu Shi's second time to ask Chu Yu if he is not afraid after he pierced people's mouths in a fight.
His voice was soft, with a hint of self-deprecation.
"My methods are very dirty, like a snake and rat hiding in the dark, and even my biological father is calculated."
I will show you my true and dirty self, without any cover, without any disguise, bloody and bloody.
If you only look at me once, what I want you to see must be the real me.
If you donate love to me, then what I want you to fall in love with can only be the most real me.
