When Lin Chengbu came out of the box, he almost collided with the waiter passing by the door.
"Oh my pot of soup!" The waiter was startled.
"I'm sorry." Lin Chengbu gave her a hand.
"Are your friends coming for dinner?" The waiter smiled and whispered, "I thought it was Boss Jiang."
"It's not him." Lin Chengbu said.
"You won't serve the food yourself when he comes," the waiter said as he walked away with a smile, "It's not easy to serve... I can't serve well in this house today."
"What's wrong?" Lin Chengbu asked casually.
The waiter stopped and lowered his voice: "I don't know if it's a cult organization. There are seven or eight people in the room."
"Why?" Lin Chengbu was a little curious.
"As soon as I went in, I stopped talking, and then I swept a sentence. Someone said that there are only the last few of us left, and they look at people with special eyes... Scary, I don't know if they are there or not. Look, also, although the jackets are different, they are all black T-shirts with horrible patterns printed on them." The waiter frowned, "Do you think they are drug addicts?"
"There shouldn't be anyone going to a private restaurant to gather people to take drugs..." Lin Chengbu asked, "What pattern?"
"It's all kinds of dead people painted," the waiter said, "something hanged or cut off their wrists... Hey, I didn't look closely, I didn't dare to look at it."
After the waiter finished speaking, he took the tray and walked away. Lin Chengbu stayed in place for a while before slowly walking towards the kitchen.
He didn't know if he was thinking too much, maybe it was because of the suicide message board he had seen before, maybe it was because of the paintings on the walls of the old factory building, and the ones in Yuanshen's house...
He was busy in the back kitchen for a while, and after finishing all the dishes for Yuan Wu, he fried two signature dishes, all ordered by that box.
"Brother Lin, did you deliver your friend's dishes yourself?" asked the waiter who I met just now.
"Yeah," Lin Chengbu nodded, holding the tray in one hand, "You can send your farewell box."
"Hey..." She sighed and brought the dishes from the box, "I hope they finish eating and leave soon, I don't even want to go in."
"As for what?" Lin Chengbu smiled.
"They let boiled water go in just now. When I went in, someone was crying, and no one comforted him. They all stared at him crying," the waiter tutted, "I was so scared that I put my things and ran out. ."
"Tell Sister Sun later, and ask her to tell the two of you to pay attention to this box so that nothing happens to you." Lin Chengbu said.
"Well, okay." The waiter responded.
The box Lin Chengbu arranged for Yuan Wu was a high-end box facing the small garden in the yard. The small garden was surrounded by the corridor, and there were six boxes all around facing the garden. At Yuanwu, I walked into the small garden from the corridor next to it.
He suddenly became nervous, and the direction happened to be the box of a room full of weirdos that the waiter said.
Yuan Wu turned around and saw him, and asked, "It's very fast, is the meal ready?"
"There is another stew." Lin Chengbu stared at Yuan Wu and felt that he was in a normal mood. "They will bring it over later, so we can eat it first."
"Okay." Yuan Wu followed him back to the box.
Lin Chengbu put the three dishes on the table: "These are my specialty dishes, as well as Chunzhi's signature dishes, tofu, spare ribs, beans..."
"Beans are also a signature dish?" Yuan Wu looked at it, "Is there any cabbage in your signature dish?"
"You have a taste." Lin Chengbu smiled.
Yuan Wu took a bean bean and looked at it: "Dried bean bean?"
"Tast it!" Lin Chengbu glared at him, "So much nonsense."
"It scared me to death." Yuan Wu put the beans into his mouth, chewed it twice, and glanced at him.
"How is it?" Lin Chengbu sat down.
"Something is stuffed in the beans? Salted egg yolk?" Yuan Wu took another one, "Minced meat? What else?"
"Is it delicious?" Lin Chengbu asked.
"Well," Yuan Wu nodded, put the beans into the bowl and opened it with chopsticks, "what else? It's very fragrant..."
"Net oil." Lin Chengbu said.
"What is net oil?" Yuan Wu asked.
"... It's net oil." Lin Chengbu replied.
"What about my big head?" Yuan Wu looked at him.
Lin Chengbu laughed: "It's lard oil, what else can I say, it's the net-like oil in the crevices of pig muscles, which is more fragrant than lard."
"I've never eaten it," Yuan Wu looked at another plate again, "this is your tofu, the one I've been begging for, right?"
Lin Chengbu sighed helplessly: "Yes, eat my tofu quickly."
The tofu is really delicious, and it bears the burden of the number one signature dish.
This is Yuanwu's evaluation of tofu.
"How?" Yuan Wu asked.
"Fried." Lin Chengbu answered simply.
"This blind man can know after a bite," Yuan Wu said. "Do you want to keep it a secret?"
"Well," Lin Chengbu nodded, "my master's craftsmanship is passed on from men to women, handsome but not ugly..."
"Is it still a big one or a small one?" Yuan Wu gave him a sideways glance.
"What size?" Lin Chengbu was stunned.
"Face." Yuan Wu said.
"Fuck." Lin Chengbu laughed for a long time.
Because he didn't drink, the dishes that Lin Chengbu picked were also bland, so they both finished eating after a while.
Yuan Wu didn't praise the dishes too much, he only said that he liked it. For Lin Chengbu, this sentence was more useful than anything else, it was just like Yuan Wu said he liked him.
"Your craftsmanship," Yuan Wu lit a cigarette, "is a bit unexpected to me, Chengyu used to say that you are good at cooking, but I thought it was because he was chasing you, and he said it was delicious when you gave him shit. "
"What you said," Lin Chengbu smiled, "let him hear you in a hurry."
"I know why he ran here when he had nothing to do," Yuan Wu took a breath. "Not only for you, but also for the vegetables."
"It's delicious, right?" Lin Chengbu said with a satisfied smile, "You can come over if you're okay. Come over and tell me if you have time. I can make it at home. Except for tofu, you can make everything at home."
"Want to go to my house?" Yuan Wu looked at him.
Lin Chengbu nodded.
"It's going to be a while," Yuan Wu thought for a while, "I'm still... adjusting, I have to go to Dr. Liang's place for at least a few months, and I usually want to be alone."
"Yeah." Lin Chengbu nodded. Although Yuan Wu looked normal now, it would not take a month or two to recover from the injury in his heart.
The two sat for a while, and Lin Chengbu was about to say that when he was about to send Yuan Wu back, he saw someone coming out of the box over there from the window.
"Have some tea," he hurriedly took the teapot. The guests in the box had to pass by if they wanted to go out. He didn't know if Yuan Wu knew about the existence of the message board, but he still didn't want him to see it. People, "I tell you, this tea..."
"Are the people over there leaving?" Yuan Wu interrupted him and asked.
Lin Chengbu's hand holding the pot paused and stopped in the air.
"I'm fine." Yuan Wu said.
"They..." Lin Chengbu hesitated, those few people had already come over, their jackets were all buttoned up, and the black t-shirt the waiter said just now couldn't be seen.
But as she said, these people do look very strange, the kind of strangeness that can be seen at a glance, their faces are expressionless, and their eyes are blank and empty.
"Have you searched for a glass of wine with a smile?" Yuan Wu calmly took the teapot in his hand and poured a cup of tea.
"...Yes." Lin Chengbu said.
"Laughed through a glass of wine," Yuan Wu looked at the tea in the cup, "Yuan Shen has been using this id since high school, and has been using it for many, many years."
"Really." Lin Chengbu looked at him.
"Have you seen that message board?" Yuan Wu took a sip of tea. "The message board is nothing to be afraid of. I can't see anything anymore. The website has been blocked."
"Is it... a suicide website?" Lin Chengbu frowned.
"Well," Yuan Wu nodded, "it's... a terrible suicide website, a website that tells you that life is meaningless and teaches you how to die."
"Fuck." Lin Chengbu whispered.
"Those who have the idea of committing suicide, even if it's just a little bit, once they get in, they can't get rid of them. These people will tell you like brainwashing that your world is hopeless, and no matter how much you struggle, there will be no hope. You can only be freed by death, they tell you how to die, how this person died, how that person died..." Yuan Wu's voice was a little hoarse, "I knew that when there was such a place, Yuan Shen was already there. It's been over a year."
"Is no one concerned?" Lin Chengbu was a little angry, "Does this count as instigation?"
"I called the police," Yuan Wu glanced at him. "The website has been blocked, but... it's too late."
"Then they..." Lin Chengbu stood up and glanced at them. Those people were no longer in sight. "They...are they? Are they?"
"I don't know," Yuan Wu leaned on the table and turned slowly with the cup in his hand, "I heard you talking to the waiter outside, and I went over to take a look, but... I don't know."
"Then what should we do?" Lin Chengbu said.
"I don't know, what can I do?" Yuan Wu smiled, "What can I do?"
Lin Chengbu didn't speak any more.
Yeah, what can I do? Yuan Wu called the police and the website was blocked, what else can I do
Lin Chengbu suddenly could understand how Yuan Wu felt when he faced all this. His own brother was trapped in such an incredible darkness, but he had nothing to do.
That feeling of helplessness and hopelessness.
"People who really want to die," Yuan Wu lowered his voice, "You can't stop it, really."
"I want to drink milk tea, tribute tea." Lin Chengbu said suddenly.
Yuan Wu didn't speak, and looked up at him.
"Uncle," Lin Chengbu stretched out his hand, touched Yuan Wu's hand twice, then clenched it and shook it gently, "Uncle, would you like me to have a cup of milk tea?"
"Don't be coquettish," Yuan Wu narrowed his eyes, "I'm quite a young man."
"Yuan Wu invited me to drink tea and milk tea." Lin Chengbu said.
Yuan Wu clicked his tongue: "You are annoying, you know?"
"Gong tea," Lin Chengbu said, "I know where it is, and it's not far away. I used to drink it when I passed by after get off work. His family has the thickest milk cap of all the tribute teas I've ever had."
"Little girls," Yuan Wu took out his hand and stood up, "Is there a checkout for this meal?"
"No," Lin Chengbu also stood up, "Come here when you want to eat, you don't have to pay the bill, come and eat, and leave after eating."
"Let's go," Yuan Wu stretched out his arms and moved, "Please drink milk tea."
"Also," Lin Chengbu pointed at him, "I'll be scolding people if you call me blindly."
"I'll listen to you." Yuan Wu put on his coat.
"Your uncle." Lin Chengbu said.
"Yeah," Yuan Wu nodded, "It's right that my uncle is you."
Lin Chengbu didn't answer anymore, seeing that Yuan Wu's mood was okay, he didn't care about anything else.
Yuan Wu should know that he was interrupting, and he was very cooperative, which made Lin Chengbu feel very at ease. Anyway, Yuan Wu was trying to get rid of those shadows.
It's just that he was a little depressed. He knew that he shouldn't have brought Yuanwu over for dinner today. Once this world is small, it will be as bloody as a novel.
"You said," Yuan Wu walked slowly towards Gong Cha with him, "Can you discuss with them, add money to buy a cup with only milk cap and no tea?"
"No," Lin Chengbu laughed, "I tried it, but people don't sell it that much."
"I didn't know I liked cream so much before," Yuan Wu thought for a while, "How about I get you a cream rum someday..."
"Which day?" Lin Chengbu immediately asked.
"It's... some day." Yuan Wu said.
"I don't have any hope without a specific time," Lin Chengbu sighed, "It's just that you used to give Jiang Chengyu special tunes all day long, and you finally told me to do it once, but you still don't know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse."
"Wait when I give you a present," Yuan Wu yawned, "You don't need any tools, you can do it with a measuring cup."
"Okay," Lin Chengbu looked at him, "I remember it."
"Remember." Yuan Wu said.
There are a lot of people shopping at night, and the milk tea shop is doing well. The two of them stood there and waited for 20 minutes before finally getting the milk tea.
No place to sit yet.
"Find a chair on the side of the road..." Lin Cheng looked left and right, and there were people sitting on all the chairs as far as his eyes could see, "Come on."
"Go back to the car for a drink," Yuan Wu said, "it's not too far."
"I'm afraid I'll have finished drinking when I get back to the car." Lin Chengbu said.
When he was seated in the car, Yuan Wu still had a full cup of milk tea, and Lin Chengbu had only the bottom left.
Yuan Wu just followed what he said last time, the straw was placed at the junction of the cream and the tea, and just after two sips, Lin Chengbu was already empty.
"Hey," he shook the glass dejectedly, and glanced at Yuan Wu's glass again, "Why are you drinking so slowly."
"Because I support." Yuan Wu said.
"Then if you can't finish drinking, let me have some." Lin Chengbu immediately lifted the lid of the cup.
Yuan Wu glanced at him, sighed, and handed the cup over: "Okay, drink it."
"Then I'm so embarrassed." Lin Chengbu said.
"Come on," Yuan Wu looked at him, "acting is too exaggerated."
Lin Chengbu smiled, took the cup in his hand, and took two sips: "Have you just eaten?"
"Yeah." Yuan Wu nodded.
"Is it delicious?" Lin Chengbu said.
"I've asked eight hundred times in one night," Yuan Wu adjusted the seat back, leaned on the back of the seat and closed his eyes, "If you ask me again, I'll say it's not delicious."
"Don't ask." Lin Chengbu said with a smile.
The car was parked on the side of the road, and there was a busy street outside.
Flashing neon lights, passing traffic, people coming and going, the windows of the car change like a screen.
Lin Chengbu quite liked this feeling, the complex world is still complex, but there is a quiet small space beside him.
Yuan Wu was by the side, closed his eyes and rested, the light and shadow flashing on his face was surprisingly quiet.
After drinking the milk tea, he put the two cups on top of each other and turned to look at Yuan Wu.
That's when he would have some ideas.
A hug, a rub, a kiss.
On Yuan Wu's forehead, on the drooping hair on his forehead, on the bridge of his nose, on his eyes, and on his lips.
He approached slowly, holding his breath as if he was about to do something big.
But it's really a big thing. This is the second time he wants to kiss in Yuanwu's "awake" state, the first time he's been tortured into a car, this time...
The distance is very close, he can clearly see Yuan Wu's slightly trembling eyelashes, Yuan Wu's eyelashes are not thick, but quite long.
"Actually," Yuan Wu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him, "I'm not in a good mood right now."
Lin Chengbu froze abruptly, and the embarrassment of being discovered and rejected on the spot came over him.
"I've been trying my best to adjust and try to control it," Yuan Wu said. "But emotions are something you can't control just by trying to control them."
"Yeah." Lin Chengbu replied softly.
"Some things, when I think about them, it hurts," Yuan Wu frowned, "When I think about Yuan Shen, the people he met on that website, the things he saw, the darkness he experienced ,so I… "
"You have done what you can," Lin Chengbu put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed lightly, "Don't always associate these things with you, it's not him because of what happened to you ,do you know?"
"I know," Yuan Wu closed his eyes, took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "I know."
"Shall I take you home?" Lin Chengbu said softly, "Go home and sleep?"
"Okay." Yuan Wu nodded.
Lin Chengbu drove to Yuan Wu's house, but neither of them spoke a word on the road.
After Yuan Wu came back, there were quite a few changes from before, he was no longer as indifferent as before, his temper seemed to be lessened, and Lin Chengbu hardly saw him get angry again.
But this change made him a little confused, Yuan Wu, who had always been cold and tough, seemed to have become... much weaker.
Whether it was because the torn wound did not require him to disguise, or whether he needed to face the pressures of the past again, he did not know.
"It's here." Lin Chengbu parked the car downstairs of Yuanwu's house.
"Oh." Yuan Wu responded, closing his eyes and didn't move.
"Would you like to go out for a few laps?" Lin Chengbu asked.
"No need," Yuan Wu slowly opened his eyes and moved his neck, "Thank you."
"Don't keep telling me thank you, I'm not used to it." Lin Chengbu frowned.
"Is it a habit of me to scold you?" Yuan Wu said.
"It's not," Lin Chengbu sighed, "I just think it will be divided."
Yuan Wu didn't speak, just looked out the window.
There was no one outside the window, and there was nothing to see, just a lamppost, but Yuan Wu still watched for a long time.
Then he turned his head and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Xiaobu."
"Huh?" Lin Chengbu looked at him, Yuan Wu hadn't called him by his name in such a serious way for a long time.
"Me," Yuan Wu lowered the car window, lit a cigarette, and lay on his back at the window, "I'm actually quite clear about myself, I always say that Yuan Shen is not normal, but it's just me, it's so long Big, I can't talk much about being healthy."
Lin Chengbu didn't speak.
"I'm not used to someone being nice to me, and I don't know how to be nice to others," Yuan Wu took a breath, "When someone is nice to me, I get scared because I don't know how to respond or how to respond. Go get along with people who are nice to me."
"I see." Lin Chengbu said.
"I told you about going to bed or something," Yuan Wu turned to look at him, "Don't take it seriously."
Lin Chengbu looked at him.
"Even if I really think that way, I won't do that," Yuan Wu patted his face, "Understand?"
"What do you want to say?" Lin Chengbu grabbed his hand.
"Dr. Liang said that in my situation, I have to take it slow, and psychological counseling will take a long time," Yuan Wu said, "No one knows how long it will be, you have spent so many years on me, Mao The stupid boy has turned into a stupid young man..."
"I'm not stupid." Lin Chengbu clicked his tongue.
"I don't know how to build a very close relationship with Renren, do you understand what I mean?" Yuan Wu looked at him, "You're not stupid, you should know what I mean?"
"The relationship between the two of us is closer than before," Lin Chengbu looked at him, "Can you feel it yourself? I feel it. Are you trying to say that you did this on purpose?"
Yuan Wu looked at him and said nothing.
"Okay, I understand," Lin Chengbu said, "Go back to sleep, and go to Dr. Liang's place tomorrow morning, right?"
"Well," Yuan Wu got out of the car, closed the car door, and leaned on the window again after thinking about it, "I said, don't go to the street to guard again."
"No more," Lin Chengbu said, and when Yuan Wu turned around and walked into the building, he said again, "Tell me when you go to see your grandparents next week, and I will accompany you."
Yuan Wu turned to look at him.
"Did you hear that?" Lin Chengbu glared at him.
"...I heard." Yuan Wu said.
"Just say what you said today," Lin Chengbu still glared at him, "I just listened to it, now I say it, you listen."
"Yeah." Yuan Wu thought about walking back and laying on the car window and looking at him.
"If you're sick, go see it! If you don't treat people well, just learn from me!" Lin Chengbu said, "I've worked hard to treat you for so many years, and you just want to dismiss me with a few words of nonsense. I tell you it's impossible! You I didn't say anything when you were a lunatic, you want to run away now that you're feeling better? No way, I'll tell you!"
Yuan Wu opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by him.
"Shut up!" Lin Chengbu pointed at him, "Why don't you tell me, I can feel it myself! I think you treat me better now than before! Can you hear clearly, Uncle Yuan!"
Yuan Wu didn't say anything, looking at him, he seemed a little lost.
"Ask you!" Lin Chengbu raised his voice.
"… I heard that." Yuan Wu said.
