Lu Yong didn't recognize him at first, but felt that the other party seemed to be kind-hearted.
This man has a thin face, drooping eyes, long and sparse eyelashes drooping straight down, slightly dark circles, slightly sunken eye sockets, a tear mole under the left eye, high browbones and an overly high nose bridge, and He has a hump, the corners of his mouth are turned down when he is not smiling, and his eyelids are slightly drooping, making him look depressed and rebellious.
What he wears is not formal, it looks like everyday clothes wrapped casually, and there is no overly eye-catching logo, but every detail such as buttons and tie pins can be seen to be expensive.
Lu Yong was still very confused, he frowned tightly, thinking that it should be someone he knew, but he couldn't match the number at once. He guessed that it was probably a high school classmate.
The men didn't stand up straight, and even when they saw them, they still didn't have a serious look. They took a step closer to Lu Yong, and inspected Lu Yong with eyes like they were weighing goods, with the same sneer as when they were young. He said softly, "I'm doing well now. Oh, I should call Mr. Lu respectfully, shouldn't I?"
Suddenly, many bits and pieces of feathers in the memories of the past seemed to be lifted by this ill-intentioned words, causing this gust of evil wind to blow wildly in my mind——
"Lu Yong, help us run errands to buy drinks, and the rest of the money you get back will be counted as your errand expenses."
"Are you still looking down on Lu Yong? If you can be the number one scholar, why not pick up trash and be the number one scholar?"
"What are you doing? Lu Yong. You are here again? Is Shen Wenqiu your wife? No one is allowed to hug her? Are you two gay?"
"You said you don't want to go to the movies with me, you said you need to make up lessons, Shen Wenqiu, you lied to me just to pick up trash with Lu Yong?"
"Shen Wenqiu, how many times have you dove on me?" "Shen Wenqiu, why are you at the same table as Lu Yong, you two have been really unusual lately..."
"Shen Wenqiu, why do you always bring Lu Yong with you? He can't play with us, and he always keeps silent..."
In his mind, the boy who always didn't wear his school uniform properly, who was always with Shen Wenqiu and criticized his existence, he couldn't remember the appearance, only a vague appearance, and finally suddenly became clear at this moment.
"... Sheng Xu." Lu Yong struggled to pronounce the name, and he finally remembered it.
Lu Yong didn't have much contact with his old classmates. When he was a student, he was only interested in Shen Wenqiu. All his eyes and memories were devoted to Shen Wenqiu alone. Impression, after a long time, I can't even remember my face.
If I have to say, he can still remember the names of those who played well with Shen Wenqiu at that time, but his faces have long been forgotten. In his memory, there is an impression of "male classmates". Anyway, those few people His speech and attitude are almost the same.
However, if I try to remember, there seems to be one person who is particularly special. He is the boy who met Shen Wenqiu the earliest, played best, and has a similar family background. He is another core figure in the small group.
——Sheng Xu.
Sheng Xu smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "When old classmates meet, why don't you invite me to sit down?"
Lu Yong asked: "What's the matter?"
Sheng Xu still looked at him with a half-smile, which made Lu Yong feel very uncomfortable: "I came here specially to find you, of course I have something to do."
As he spoke, he turned his head slightly and looked at Shen Wenqiu: "Really? Shen Wenqiu."
"You are so disrespectful, you didn't tell me when you moved to find a job."
"It was only when I saw Lao Wu a few days ago that I realized that you had repaid the debt over there. I wondered where you got so much money. It turned out that Lu Yong gave it to you."
Shen Wenqiu pursed his lips tightly and said, "I didn't give it to you, I borrowed it."
Sheng Xu said mercilessly: "It's called borrowing if you pay it back, and you're giving it if you don't pay it."
As soon as Shen Wenqiu opened his mouth, Lu Yong's attention was drawn away, and he returned to Shen Wenqiu. He found that Shen Wenqiu's face was very ugly, his eyes were a little slack, and there was a thin cold sweat on his forehead, and he became in a trance. , the appearance when he was picked up by him earlier seemed to reappear.
Lu Yong couldn't help becoming anxious, his body moved before his consciousness, he took a slow and firm step forward, cut off Shen Wenqiu's dazed gaze as if he wanted to be caught, turned around to face him, and forced Shen Wenqiu to look at him, as if with a generous gesture The shoulders separated a space for him to breathe, and the shadow covered Shen Wenqiu's body, like a loose overcoat trying to wrap Shen Wenqiu up and hide him.
Lu Yong handed the bag to Shen Wenqiu, his gentle voice seemed to caress Shen Wenqiu's trembling emotion, and said: "You go upstairs first, take your things up, aren't you going to make new dishes? Cook? .”
"Sheng Xu came to me, I'll have a chat with him, and then I'll go back."
Lu Yong didn't say anything like "Don't be afraid", but Shen Wenqiu was immediately comforted by his calm and gentle eyes, looked up at him slightly, and nodded in a daze: "Mmm..."
Lu Yong sent people into the elevator, and he blocked the door. Not to mention Sheng Xu, another resident who came home was also affected by Chi Yu and couldn't get on the elevator.
Sheng Xu looked past Lu Yong, and stared at Shen Wenqiu coldly, even though Shen Wenqiu never looked back.
After the elevator door closed, he turned to look aside at the electronic screen showing the elevator's ascending floors.
Lu Yong interrupted him: "There is a nice coffee shop outside the neighborhood, let me buy you a cup of coffee. Talk to me slowly if you have anything to do."
Sheng Xu nodded: "OK."
The two walked for five minutes and passed without saying a word, as if they were going to fight instead of discussing peace matters.
When they arrived at the coffee shop, they each ordered a cup of coffee, Lu Yong ordered American black coffee, and Sheng Xu ordered the signature latte art latte.
Coffee was served quickly.
Lu Yong took a sip casually, recalling the things about Sheng Xu, and slowly remembered something, Shen Wenqiu told him before... They met when they were in the fifth grade of primary school, Sheng Xu transferred to their class, Shen Wenqiu as a The small squad leader took good care of the new classmates, both of them were kids from rich families, they went to similar interest classes, they played together logically, later they were in the same class in junior high school, and also in high school, so they naturally became Shen Wenqiu's number one friend. Sheng Xu was quite a rebellious person. At that time, everyone wore a complete set of school uniforms. Sheng Xu wore a sweater inside, a school uniform jacket without a zipper on the outside, and his own jeans on the pants. The teacher caught him with a hairstyle that did not meet the standards for middle school students. Just shave yourself a crew cut like a juvenile delinquent.
From time to time, Shen Wenqiu tried to persuade him not to be angry.
Sheng Xu glanced critically at the milk cap on the coffee, shook the handle of the cup, took a small sip, licked the milk cap on his lips, and said disgustedly: "Pot water. But Think about it, this kind of small shop doesn’t use very good coffee beans. Can’t you drink it? Aren’t you quite rich now?”
What a familiar taste. Lu Yong was still not ashamed, and said: "I can't drink it. I don't drink coffee very much, and I can't drink it, okay?"
Sheng Xu: "Where did you buy your clothes? I can't see the brand."
Lu Yong: "I bought it at random in the mall. I don't remember the brand. It's made in China."
Sheng Xu: "Didn't you open three factories now? Why don't you change to a good watch? You still carry this cheap one?"
Lu Yong: "It's enough to see the time. The timing is very accurate. Why do you need to change it?"
Sheng Xu nodded clearly, and said with a smile, "You're still the same as before."
Lu Yong sat upright, like a towering rock, and replied noncommittally: "En."
Sheng Xu took out a cigarette and a black-lacquered lighter, and just as he shook out a cigarette, Lu Yong said, "Smoking is not allowed in public places."
Sheng Xu was speechless for a while, but he didn't insist. He fiddled with the lighter on his mobile phone, knocked lightly on the table, and looked at Lu Yong with slightly depressed eyes, silently confronting him.
"Duk, duk, duk, duk..."
Tap regularly and intermittently.
Then suddenly stop.
"I really can't figure it out." Sheng Xu said, "You were so poor in the past, and you finally got money, so you would be so willing to give it to Shen Wenqiu. Don't you think it's meat buns that never return?"
Lu Yong said in a deep voice, "Shen Wenqiu is not a dog."
Sheng Xu laughed: "Metaphor, metaphor, you are still so fake and serious, you can't grasp the point, you just talk like this, and you always don't understand what other people say."
"Don't change the subject."
Sheng Xu suppressed his smile, leaned against the table, and asked, "Do you know how much Shen Wenqiu owes in total?"
Lu Yong nodded without hesitation: "I know."
Sheng Xu was stunned for a few seconds, "...then you should know that I borrowed 30 million from him, right?"
Lu Yong recalled the list of debts written by Shen Wenqiu: "I know."
The voice just fell.
Lu Yong took out the checkbook and pen from his arms, although he didn't say it clearly, it was a posture that he planned to pay in advance.
The temperature of Sheng Xu's gaze dropped sharply. It was already cold, but suddenly it was so icy that it almost condensed into ice cones.
But he smiled back angrily: "You want to pay Shen Wenqiu the money, right? Pay it back, write me the check now."
Lu Yong stopped writing.
Provoked a sneer.
Lu Yong dialed Shen Wenqiu's phone under his contemptuous eyes, and Shen Wenqiu said first: "Are you coming back? I've already cooked the meal..."
Lu Yong said, "Well, I'm going back."
Sheng Xu murmured angrily: "When will he be able to cook? I'll cook for you, can I eat?"
Lu Yong ignored him, just sat up straight, moved back, as far away as possible, not sure if Shen Wenqiu on the other end of the phone heard it, he asked: "Sheng Xu told me about your debt... said Don't mind if I help you pay back the money, do you need me to help you pay it back? Can I help you pay it back?"
Shen Wenqiu: "..."
At this time, Sheng Xu seemed to have gained a bit of energy, opened his eyes, and no longer had a sleepy and depressed look, and said extremely meanly: "Lu Yong, are you cheap? After so many years, you are still Shen Wenqiu's dog licking ?”
"He asked you to help him pay back the money and you will pay it back?"
"Oh, you were crazy about Shen Wenqiu at the beginning, but after so many years, you finally got what you wanted, right?"
"Have you slept until Shen Wenqiu? Is it easy to sleep? Even if you sleep enough, he won't be worth that much money, right?"
