Shen Yiyou's mind went blank.
Confused, breathing still.
Before he had time to react, the screen turned on again, and he received a call from his father.
Shen Yiyou picked it up in a daze, and called "Dad". After saying that, Fang felt that there was still tremor in his voice.
"Yiyou," my father said relaxedly, as if he didn't notice, "How are you doing these days?"
Shen Yiyou said "It's okay", and his father asked again: "Have you contacted your mother in the past few days?"
"..." Shen Yiyou paused, realized his father's purpose, and replied slowly, "No."
He did send a message to his mother when he went to the capital last month, but she did not reply to him, so there was no connection.
"Really," said the father, "have you been short of money lately?"
Shen Yiyou frowned, and after a while, he said: "There is no shortage."
"Don't you still have a car loan?" My father smiled and said, "I will ask the assistant to transfer the money to you later."
Shen Yiyou said "no need", but his father didn't respond directly, he chatted with him for a while, and then said: "It's okay if I really don't like women. I will do some work with your mother, but before the work is done, I still have to give it a try. Be as low-key as possible."
"The elder sister you saw last time is my student. She twisted her foot when she went upstairs, so I supported her. Don't get me wrong," my father continued, "By the way, this year the representatives of the Book Association will push I am the chairman, and the hospitality is hard to turn down, and I really can't refuse.
"After becoming the chairman, I will be busier and spend less time at home. If you have anything to do, call Dad. Don't be impulsive—your mother is not in good health. You must keep a low profile when you do things, understand?"
Shen Yiyou understood, and his father praised him a few words.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yiyou realized that the account notification had come a minute ago.
Perhaps because there was no expectation at all, Shen Yiyou didn't feel hurt, and silently transferred the money back to his father's account, with a note of "No, thank you".
Shen Yiyou wanted to tell his father that he would not have printed the fact that he was gay into a leaflet and distributed it everywhere, and he never wanted to affect his father's career in a high-profile manner.
But one is that I don’t know how to speak, and my father probably has no interest in listening.
Shen Yiyou often suspects that some people are born with family luck, so they can have a harmonious and happy family and grow up in love.
But many people can't have so much.
Shen Yiyou has obtained life and abundant materials from his parents, and he is already a lucky one, so he doesn't need to make any more demands.
Shen Yiyou's choice of falling in love is also like a heresy, with warmth, protection, and twists and turns.
Li Shu's embrace is like a love cave full of thorns, on which Shen Yi swims and lies, sometimes wandering in the clouds and rain on Wushan Mountain, complaining about his heart, and sometimes bloody and painful.
But even though Li Shu is far from being perfect, Shen Yiyou himself is not much better.
Shen Yiyou is always worrying about gains and losses, indecisive, and it seems that he can only suffer from shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat because of Li Shu alone.
He deleted the reminder of the transfer, and re-read a lot of text messages that Li Shu sent him last night.
I want to laugh because of Li Shu's continuous, childlike and trivial complaints, and I want to cry because of my heavy, muddy, inseparable and unspeakable love for Li Shu.
Shen Yiyou thought, if Li Shu is a love idiot, then he is too.
If Li Shu is bad at talking about love, Shen Yiyou is also bad.
If Li Shu didn't show consideration to Shen Yiyou, then he didn't put much patience and thought into it.
If you start to fall in love again, Shen Yiyou thought again, you should give Li Shu more confidence first, or meet more, say something that will make Li Shu happy, or you should frankly ask Li Shu for more, don't do it. deserter.
He no longer wanted Li Shu to wait alone by the side of the road at night, to be the last one to leave after hearing ugly words from self-righteous people.
In the bedroom with too much air-conditioning, the noon sun shining on the carpet and bedding seemed to be full of chills.
The mist in Shen Yiyou's eyes lingered for a long time, and he wrote a message to Li Shu letter by letter, asking Li Shu: Can I answer the phone now.
Li Shu came back soon.
"You're up," he said, his voice unnatural, as if embarrassed.
"I arrived a few hours ago." Before Shen Yiyou could speak, Li Shu said to himself as if he was changing the subject, "I just finished a meeting and I'm taking a break, but I can't rest for a long time."
Shen Yi said "hmm".
The two were quiet for a few seconds, and Shen Yiyou called Li Shu by name.
"Li Shu," Shen Yiyou said, "where are you?"
"..." Li Shu was silent for a while, and said, "New York."
"Oh," Shen Yiyou held the phone in one hand and the quilt in the other, lowered his eyes, and said to Li Shu in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll see you after your IPO is over, and you're very busy now..."
Because of some hesitation, Shen Yiyou stopped talking, but Li Shu didn't speak, and waited quietly on the phone.
When Shen Yiyou plucked up his courage, he told Li Shu, "But I still really want to come to you."
"I want to see you." Shen Yiyou said.
Li Shu was quiet for a long time before he said to Shen Yiyou: "Okay."
He said, "I'm not busy," and then, "You come."
Li Shu didn't want to hang up the phone.
He wanted to talk to Shen Yiyou all the time, and said that when he was disconnected, he would do everything as if he put Shen Yiyou in his pocket, and he would feel very at ease.
This kind of statement was so stupid that it was almost bizarre, but Shen Yiyou didn't have the heart to refuse.
Later, when Li Shu wanted to meet with a lawyer, he had to hang up, so Shen Yiyou made a neither long nor short call to the co-curator Robbins.
Shen Yiyou told Robbins that he would go out for a few days to accompany his boyfriend and save his relationship.
Robbins wished him well.
That evening, just as Shen Yiyou walked into the airport lounge, the software of the financial media suddenly pushed a big news: Genesis Environmental Technology Company was sued by former employee Leighton Eddie, and the price subscription and listing procedures have been temporarily suspended.
Eddie claims that during his tenure as Genesis's chief engineer, he discussed a clean energy technology idea with Genesis's CEO, Li Shu, his employer.
The core technology in Genesis's new clean energy products is stolen from his ideas.
At present, Leighton Eddie has applied to the court to preserve evidence, and has been interviewed by many media to accuse his former employer Li Shu of tyranny and dictatorship.
There are some analysts' comments in the related links below the news. Shen Yiyou opened and read a few of them, and the comments are also divided.
Some people claimed that Genesis’s board of directors had reached an agreement with Li Shu, and that Li Shu would soon be fired as CEO and resubmit the listing application materials; some said that the lawsuit was Eddie’s revenge for being fired without reason, and that it had no factual basis; Some say it was nothing more than a conspiracy by competing companies to block Genesis from going public.
Seeing this, the flight started to board, and Shen Yiyou didn't read any more.
More than ten hours later, Shen Yiyou arrived at the airport.
When the plane was taxiing on the runway, Shen Yiyou was not fully awake.
He took off the blindfold, looked at the night sky outside the porthole, and wondered in a daze, wouldn't Li Shu be tired
He always ran to S city so hard, at first he even just had a meal or watched an exhibition, and because Shen Yiyou asked him to accompany him, he had to put down his work immediately and set off, only to arrive at the door of Shen Yiyou's room in the early morning.
Every date, every night, you must first endure a long and distant wait at an altitude of 10,000 feet.
— Li Shu arrives at City S at least 30 times a year, with a total of 70 flights, which last about 1,000 hours.
From the few comments Shen Yiyou just read to get a glimpse of Li Shu's character and life, Li Shu is extremely talented, talented, moody, unkind, and only pays attention to efficiency and results.
But on the way to meet Shen Yiyou, Li Shu generously squandered the most cherished time, delivering love and sincerity without reservation.
The plane came to a complete stop, and Shen Yiyou had only one suitcase, which he dragged outside.
At the exit, Shen Yiyou saw Erin Felton in a professional suit, and a male assistant beside her holding a name tag.
He walked to Irene, and Irene showed him a sincere and bright smile, and then motioned him to look not far behind.
Shen Yiyou followed her gaze, and Li Shu, who was wearing an old dark gray T-shirt with the company logo printed on it, was standing by the column outside the pick-up crowd and looking at him.
Li Shu is tall and stands out from the crowd.
He had his hair cut again and changed to a more business-like hairstyle, but the black frame was still the same as the one we met last time, and the smart watch and watch strap had not changed.
When Li Shu stood empty-handed, there was always an aura of waiting for Shen Yiyou to soften his heart and take the initiative to rescue him. He looked at Shen Yiyou motionlessly, as if he was a little nervous, but he didn't know how to express it.
Just like when we first met.
As Shen Yiyou walked towards Li Shu, he thought: City S is too far away, and he wants to move.
