Chu Yu and Lu Shi stayed in city a for several days.
The two people in the Lu family who can be in charge both have problems, one has no news, and the other is seriously ill in bed. The grassroots employees are not clear, but the high-level people are fluctuating, and they are all watching.
As the only grandson of Lu Zhaohe and the only son of Lu Shaochu, Lu Shi is the only legitimate heir of the Lu family and has come of age.
As a result, after various procedures, in the end, many shares and most of the property in the hands of Lu Zhaohe and Lu Shaochu were transferred to Lu Shi's name.
Just as everyone was watching how Lu Shi, who just came of age, was going to do things, two professional managers hired by Lu Shi arrived in city a. Coupled with the stable transfer of equity, the Lu family is still in power, and there are no extra mistakes. Those who tried to take action during the Lu family's turmoil all took a break.
On the balcony of the hotel, Chu Yu was talking to Lin Wangxi on the phone.
"My dad and I have been following the Lu family's affairs throughout the entire process, and my dad has even thought about whether we should take advantage of the turmoil in the Lu family and make a fortune. You know, taking advantage of the fire has always been an opportunity not to be missed. I didn't expect that. Lu Shi, a high school student, actually managed to hold on to the situation. Speaking of which, did Lu Shi find the two professional managers himself, or did someone give him advice?"
"No one pointed him." Chu Yu looked at the person lying on the bed in the bedroom through the glass, and replied, "He chose it himself."
"That's really well done. I deliberately checked the resumes of these two professional managers, and guessed that Lu Shi should have wanted to take advantage of this time to let the managers stand at the front desk, hide behind the scenes, and make drastic changes within the Lu family. stale.
When he is a few years older, he can convince the public, and then sit in that position and take power, the entire Lu family will definitely be like an arm and a finger, and there will be no more restraints and obstacles. "
Lin Wangxi guessed correctly.
When Lu Shi chose a manager, he also asked Chu Yu's opinion. The main consideration when the two finally agreed on the candidate was this.
After Lin Wangxi finished speaking, he changed his tone again and asked, "How is your relationship with him now?"
Chu Yu replied without hesitation, "The relationship is very good."
"Then what I say next may be suspected of provoking." Lin Wangxi asked with a smile, "Do you want to listen? If you don't want to listen, I won't say it."
Chu Yu roughly guessed what Lin Wangxi would say, "Sister Lin, you say."
"Okay, then I'll say it."
Lin Wangxi's tone became more serious, "I told you earlier that my dad and I were watching Lu's business all the way, and during this period, we found a lot of doubts.
The Lu family has stable roots and a good reputation. But this time, the wind was like rolling leaves, first Fang Weiyun had an accident, then Lu Shaochu had an accident, Fang's family had an accident, and finally Mr. Lu was paralyzed and couldn't even speak.
There is no definite evidence, but my dad and I both believe that in this series of events, Lu Shi must have done something. "
Lin Wangxi took a breath, "What I want to say is that Lu Shi is a young man, but he has a very deep mind and a ruthless means. It should not be underestimated. You must be cautious when you are friends with him."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yu looked at the rising sun in the sky and stretched out.
He thought of the Qingchuan River, under the dim light, Lu Shi said, I am not a good person, and soon, I will even bear a bad name. The love I can give you is heavy, dirty, and even carries many things that will hurt you. So, do you still want to be with me? Chu Yu.
He remembered every word clearly.
How did he respond then
- I would like to.
Chu Yu thought, even if he changed the time to the present, and asked him this question again, he would still answer, I would.
He was willing to be bound with Lu Shi, to accompany him to be stained with smudges in the mud, and to accompany him to climb out of the dark abyss step by step.
He wants to protect him, support him, pull him, witness with him, next year will be better.
It will get better in the future.
Standing for a while in the cool morning wind, Chu Yu entered the bedroom from the balcony.
There was no light on in the bedroom, only the morning light came in from the window.
Lu Shi's breathing was slow and he didn't wake up.
Stepping on the carpet to the side of the bed, he pulled the quilt off Lu Shi's body. Chu Yu shouted loudly, "Lu Shi, Brother Lu, God Lu, get up! Come with me to breakfast!"
As soon as the words fell, one didn't pay attention, Chu Yu's wrist was grasped, and he fell on the bed without any defense, and was then carried into his arms by Lu Shi.
Pulling down the neckline, Lu Shi brought his shoulder to Chu Yu's mouth. He closed his eyes, and his voice was hoarse in the early morning, "Want to suck blood? Bite it and feed you breakfast."
Chu Yu was actually not hungry, but when he heard Lu Shi's voice and was enveloped in Lu Shi's breath, he couldn't say anything to refuse, he could only bite down according to the words.
After licking the open wound, before Chu Yu could taste the sweet taste of blood, Lu Shi pinched his chin and kissed it.
When I went back to school, I just hit the third monthly exam.
Brother Meng thought, "Lu Shen has been absent from class for half a month, right? Then the question is, this monthly exam, we have a slight chance, can we surpass Lu Shen?"
Fang Ziqi wore a pair of dark circles under his eyes and squinted at Brother Meng, "Dreams come faster."
Li Hua answered, "Dreaming is a bit difficult, but daydreaming is the fastest."
When the results were announced, Brother Meng stood in front of the posted transcript and sighed, "Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that Lu Shen is my student from Jianing Private School, a mountain that can't be climbed! There is a shadow!"
Old Ye just came in from the door and said oddly, "Student Luo Jiaxuan, how did you know we were going to climb the mountain?"
Brother Meng was stunned, "What is going over the mountain?"
Old Ye was excited, "Spring outing! Climbing the mountain! I will be the top of the mountain, and I will see all the mountains and small mountains!"
Chu Yu turned his head to look at the dazzling sunshine outside the window, and was very puzzled - is there any difference between the spring in his eyes and the spring defined by Lao Ye
He struggled, "Teacher, such a high temperature and such a big sun proves that spring is gone forever, and now is not a good time for a spring outing!"
Brother Meng raised his hand, "I'll translate! The school flower means that such a big sun will tan your face! It will make you ugly!"
Chu Yu gave Brother Meng a look - you are very smart!
"Although the weather is getting warmer, we have to work hard to catch the tail of spring! Is that true? The most important thing is that you are going to be in your third year of high school. When you are in your third year of high school, you will find that there is absolutely no way There may be an opportunity for a spring outing. So, a few classmates, tell me again, spring outing, go?"
"want!"
After answering, Zhang Yueshan scratched the back of his head, "So, this is our last high school group outing?"
"That's almost what it means!" Lao Ye nodded, "So, there is no chance to pick and choose, everyone will go, let's go to the top of the mountain to take a group photo!"
On the day of the spring outing, the weather was rarely too sunny. When class A arrived at the foot of the mountain, there were still a few drops of rain, and for a while, it really felt a little bit of spring.
Lao Ye changed into dark sports clothes, carried his thermos cup, and told stories as he walked.
"Let me tell you, the mountain we went to is called Yinfeng Mountain. Why is it called Yinfeng Mountain? Does anyone know?"
Brother Meng replied loudly, "I don't know! Teacher, please tell me!"
"Okay, I like Luo Jiaxuan's answer, if you all know, what fun do I have in storytelling!
According to legend, the Qingchuan River flooded and flooded 800 li of farmland. A monk named Zhao Mingzhao came to control the water with a whisk, but after only a hundred days, the river was dredged, and he also slashed the evil dragons in the river. On the day when the river was clear, he stood on this mountain and played the flute leisurely.
Unexpectedly, suddenly! Colorful rays of light rose from the sky, and a clear and Yue chirped, I saw a very beautiful phoenix coming from the sky, flying around Zhao Mingzhao for a full nine laps. Then, everyone saw that Zhao Mingzhao flew up to the sky on a phoenix. "
After Lao Ye finished speaking, he pointed to the direction of the top of the mountain, "The Taoist temple on the top is dedicated to this true monarch. It is said that this Taoist temple has been very effective since ancient times. Of course, Zibuyu is strange and chaotic. We must not believe this. , just look at the historical sites.
Because the five elements of this immortal belong to water, the main color of the Taoist temple is black, and there are also stone tablets left by ancient literati and writers around, you can take a look. "
Climbing halfway up the mountain, Lao Ye disliked that the students were too slow to climb the mountain. He took the lead and disappeared in a short while.
Chu Yu had already given up the treatment, and when he pulled the landing pad at the end of the team, he walked up slowly. If you come across a flower that you have never seen before, you have to get close to observe it.
He has been a little uneasy these days.
Although I try not to think too much, I often have nightmares in the middle of the night, dreaming that Lu Shi could not be found, or directly dreaming that Lu Shi was dead.
Awakened by a nightmare, Chu Yu was confused, and would subconsciously probe Lu Shi's breath with his hands, and would also press his ear against Lu Shi's chest to listen to his heartbeat.
Only at this time, the fear caused by the nightmare will be calmed down again.
Everything was settled, and Lu Shi didn't seem to have changed at all compared to before.
But Chu Yu was sensitive to find that every day, it was still class and get out of class, going to school and leaving school, doing questions and exams, but sometimes, he would catch a glimpse of the emptiness in Lu Shi's eyes.
As if the center of gravity and the goal suddenly disappeared, for a while, the fulcrum of his existence could not be found.
Chu Yu didn't know what to do.
He could only clumsily reveal his dependence to Lu Shi repeatedly, deliberately, obviously and bluntly.
To sleep next to each other, but also to hug. I need Lu Shi's help to put on the clothes and pants. It's too troublesome to even blow dry your hair after washing.
He silently expressed to Lu Shi, I need you, I depend on you, and I can't live without you.
I must never lose you.
After climbing for an unknown amount of time, Chu Yu felt that he couldn't lift his legs, and finally reached the top of the mountain.
As Lao Ye said, there is a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. But unlike the imagination, this said to be very ancient Taoist temple occupies a small area, the building is dilapidated, and even the eaves have clumps of dense weeds.
The surrounding trees are lush, there are clear springs and streams, and the birds and butterflies are singing.
Chu Yu stood in front of the wooden threshold of the Taoist temple, hesitated, and asked Lu Shi in a low voice, "You said that if I stepped in, the true monarch enshrined in it would come down with a thunderbolt and chop me to suck human blood. little monster?"
Imagining the picture, Chu Yu said, "If you are struck by lightning, your face will be scorched black, and your hair will explode. It's so ugly!"
After listening to him, Lu Shi said, "I brought you in. If you are really going to be struck by lightning, just strike me."
After speaking, he took Chu Yu's wrist and entered the Taoist temple together.
The students who went to the top of the mountain first gathered around the ancient well behind the Taoist temple and rested under the old ginkgo tree. And those who are slower than Chu Yu and the others, it is estimated that it will not take long for them to pass halfway up the mountain.
So, for a while, there was no one else in the entire Taoist temple except a Taoist priest.
Wandering around in the Taoist temple, after reading the engraved monument, Chu Yu found that in front of the main hall, there was a square basket made of bamboo strips with black strings in it.
He was curious, "Master, what is this?"
The Taoist priest with a white beard clenched and gently said, "This kind of rope bracelet can be worn on the wrist. If it is longer, it can be used as a necklace. You can hold a rope and make a promise in front of the real monarch. Wish, and then wear the braided rope on your body, that's all."
Chu Yu never believed this, but looking at the black braided rope, he thought about it and asked, "How much is it?"
"How old are you?"
"eighteen."
"Then I will sell you this braided rope for 18 yuan."
After paying the money, Chu Yu held the black rope, entered the main hall, and made a sincere wish.
After he came out, he thanked him and stood under the roof at the corner when he pulled the landing.
Chu Yu held up Lu Shi's hand in silence, and tied the black rope bracelet to it.
Cool white skin and cyan blood vessels, lined with simple black ropes, look very good.
Lu Shi waited for Chu Yu to fasten the rope buckle, and then asked, "The wish you made has something to do with me?"
"Well. Besides, only you can help me realize this wish of mine. So this bracelet needs to be worn by you."
Chu Yu made sure that the bracelet was fastened firmly, and then continued, "My wish is very extravagant, even if it is an immortal, there is no way for me to realize it. Only you can."
Lu Shi looked down at him, "What wish?"
Chu Yu's eyes were inexplicably sour, and he looked at the landing stubbornly, "My wish is that you don't leave me."
For a time, apart from the breeze and birdsong, and the voices of people from afar, there was no other sound.
Lu Shi understood these simple words.
The old eaves are in the style of flying eaves that warp upwards, the lacquer surface of the pillars is mottled, there are even a few weeds growing in the corners of the walls, and flowers are blooming at the top.
Under the eaves, Lu Shi looked at Chu Yu's reddish eyes, and said after a long time, "I once thought that after this mistake is over, there is no point in living, because it is really hard."
He spoke lightly.
Countless nights of inability to sleep, guilt, struggle and self-loathing that cannot be dispelled, dark childhood...
Up to now, it has only been turned into a sentence of "difficulty".
Chu Yu listened with a sour nose.
In a trance, he felt so uncomfortable in his heart, like a blunt knife cut.
Lu Shi's brows became more and more calm, and his voice was as light as the warm wind outside the eaves.
"But, how can I be willing to leave you."
