"You're always unproductive because you spend too much time socializing ineffectively."
Li Shu sat on the ergonomic chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, talking to Shen Yi expressionlessly.
He rested his elbows on the table, with two laptops in front of him, wearing a cotton T-shirt with equations printed on it, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. His thick black hair was cut short and curled slightly at the roots, and his eye sockets were deep. , the bridge of the nose is high, and the lips that are opened and closed for speaking look very soft.
If the scene at this moment was recorded and played silently, most people would think that Li Shu was kind and harmless, rather than mean and heartless—but Shen Yiyou was listening.
So Shen Yiyou looked at him and repeated dryly: "Social interaction is useless."
"You are emotional now, and I understand if you don't agree." Li Shu said, glanced at the laptop screen on the left, and suddenly stopped talking, and put his hands on the keyboard after a little thought.
For the next ten minutes, the only sound in the room was the mechanical and dull sound of typing.
Shen Yiyou didn't have to go over to see, he knew that Li Shu was replying to his subordinates' emails, but this time, not only did Shen Yiyou not feel that he was being ignored, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, since he casually said at nine o'clock that he was going to accompany a friend to visit the decoration market next week, Li Shu had already taught him the way of self-discipline for an hour endlessly.
Shen Yiyou refuted a few words at first, but later he didn't want to say anything, only one sentence was played over and over in his mind, "No snowflake is innocent in an avalanche".
Li Shu will always have only himself in his heart, Shen Yiyou thought, he really can't take it anymore.
The notification tone of the mail sending comes out from the speaker of the laptop. Li Shu's eyes stayed on the screen for a few more seconds before he raised his head, then said to Shen Yiyou gently, "Time will tell, you will definitely thank me in the future."
Shen Yiyou looked into Li Shu's eyes, and couldn't help retorting: "Why don't you give a speech at TED with so many reasons, let all human beings thank you together."
Li Shu didn't hear the sarcasm in Shen Yiyou's tone, he just knocked on the table with his index finger, and told Shen Yiyou realistically: "I have received an invitation to speak."
"I don't have time to go," he added. "Do you think I'm so patient with everyone?"
Shen Yiyou looked at him for a while before saying: "Then I thank you."
"No need." Li Shu said.
He stood up, walked to Shen Yiyou's side without haste, lowered his head and kissed Shen Yiyou's cheek, and told Shen Yiyou: "Listening to my words is the best thanks."
Li Shu put his hands on Shen Yiyou's waist, the warmth of his palms pierced through the nightgown, and touched the skin tightly, giving Shen Yiyou the illusion of being warm and safe, wanting to continue hugging, and then Shen Yiyou looked up at him, the warmth disappeared again.
Li Shu is still condescending and superior, still unwilling to let Shen Yiyou go. With an arrogance and stubbornness that he would never admit, he kept asking: "Got it?" As if he couldn't sleep if the two of them couldn't agree,
Voltaire's famous quote about snowflakes in Shen Yiyou's head was replaced by simpler short sentences.
He became unable to concentrate and think rationally, as if there was an evil ghost floating in his ears, gently coaxing him to "get out of the room" and "break up to be free".
The voice of objection in Shen Yiyou's heart was sometimes louder and sometimes softer. He turned his eyes away, trying to calm himself down, but Li Shu held his chin, not allowing him to stay an inch away.
Li Shu lowered his head and kissed him, and said vaguely while kissing, "Is it so difficult to admit that I'm right?"
Shen Yiyou pursed his lips, closed his eyes tightly, resisted silently, and then pressed Li Shu's chest, pushing him away a little.
"Li Shu." Shen Yiyou said lightly, but didn't look at him.
They were still next to each other, and Li Shu's hand was still on Shen Yiyou's back. He seemed to think that Shen Yiyou would give in soon, and was about to pick up Shen Yiyou and take him back to the room, and asked Shen Yiyou "what do you want to say".
Li Shu's tone was even expectant, with a little complacency, sounding carefree, like a thick hot and wet towel, tightly covering Shen Yiyou's face.
Shen Yiyou was silent for a long time, and finally said to Li Shu with a volume that he couldn't hear clearly: "I think we should break up."
"I don't want to do this anymore," Shen Yiyou broke free from Li Shu's embrace, and said slowly, "We are really not suitable."
At this point, the living room fell into a long silence.
It was a very windy and rainy day outside, but Li Shu's apartment was very well soundproofed. You could only see large swathes of water splashing down on the glass, and you could see the illuminated ships and the river view covered in the mist, and you couldn't hear the sound of bad weather. movement.
Li Shu lowered his head, thought for a long time, and then asked Shen Yiyou: "What's inappropriate?"
Shen Yiyou didn't look into Li Shu's eyes at first, Li Shu gently pushed his arm, and then he raised his head to meet Li Shu's eyes, and he said to Li Shu, "It doesn't fit anywhere."
Li Shu was quiet for a few more seconds before saying: "I don't think so." He lowered his voice a little more, and said to Shen Yiyou, "Don't lose your temper, be more mature", and then stretched out his hand again, wanting to hug Shen Yiyou.
Shen Yiyou dodged.
"I haven't." Shen Yiyou said to him.
Shen Yiyou didn't want to say more, and didn't have the energy to say more, so he went to the cloakroom next to the bedroom to pack his things.
Li Shu followed behind him, stood at the door of the room and looked at him with arms folded, but he never spoke again.
Shen Yiyou didn't put too many things in Li Shu's hotel apartment, because he didn't live here often.
Li Shu's home and career are not in City S. Ever since Shen Yiyou met him, he has been flying around the world forever, adding to his streaming media empire. They met once in a while, most of the time Li Shu came to look for Shen Yiyou, and a few times Shen Yiyou went to look for Li Shu.
Shen Yiyou usually has his own residence, a small two-bedroom house in a neighborhood not far away, not as luxurious as Li Shu's apartment, but not bad, at least like a home.
Shen Yiyou can enjoy Li Shu's so-called ineffective social interaction in it, or lie down and do nothing for 24 hours, and no one will try to influence him.
Shen Yiyou spread out the suitcase, folded his clothes, and put them in one by one. Li Shu kept guarding the door of the cloakroom. Of course he didn't help, but he didn't stop him either.
After Shen Yiyou finished packing his things and closed the suitcase, he asked Shen Yiyou aloud: "Have you thought it through clearly?"
Shen Yiyou gave a "hmm" and buttoned the suitcase. In the dim light of the cloakroom, he heard Li Shu say again: "If you want to break up, I won't keep you. But do you know that adults are responsible for their own decisions?" , if you regret it in the future, I won't—"
"Then don't worry," Shen Yiyou raised his head and stared straight at Li Shu, "I won't come back to look for you in a shameless manner."
Li Shu was stunned by Shen Yiyou's stare, and fell silent.
Shen Yiyou thought he accepted it, but when Shen Yiyou stood up and dragged the suitcase past him, he still grabbed Shen Yiyou's arm forcefully.
Li Shu probably didn't know that he was very strong, and it hurt so much to hold Shen Yiyou, and Shen Yiyou couldn't break free at all.
"I didn't say you're being cowardly," Li Shu turned sideways and hugged Shen Yiyou tightly at the door of the cloakroom. The smell of clean body wash on his body lingered around Shen Yiyou's body, it was a smell that could easily soften Shen Yiyou's heart.
Shen Yiyou asked him: "Can you let go."
Li Shu didn't let go, but hugged him even tighter. He said, "Shen Yiyou, don't play tricks on me."
Shen Yiyou thought for a while, and said it hurts, Li Shu let go.
Shen Yiyou walked towards the door, but Li Shu didn't stop him, but only shouted from behind: "Shen Yiyou!"
Shen Yiyou didn't stop, opened the door, passed the corridor, pressed the elevator, and didn't take a second look.
