Chapter 7: Secondhand Love Letter 07

Views:

"I'll take a shower first." Lu Yong said as soon as he got home.

He hugged a dirty stray dog today, his body smelled bad, and he was always afraid of being rejected by Shen Wenqiu.

Lu Yong remembers that when he was in elementary school, he was pushed out by his classmates for a while because he was a kid who sold junk.

Even if he took a shower diligently, changed his clothes every day even in winter, and rubbed his hands until they were red and torn, there were still naughty children who pinched their noses and laughed at his smell of garbage.

Shen Wenqiu looked at him, suddenly remembered and said, "Lu Yong, do you want to take your hands off when you take a shower?"

Lu Yong secretly went to take a bath when Shen Wenqiu was asleep, or came out with his prosthetics again after washing. Shen Wenqiu usually saw Lu Yong in a healthy state. Now that he has another hand, he wants to update his self-image in front of Shen Wenqiu.

"Yeah." Lu Yong froze for a moment, this was what he did on purpose, "I'll take it off before going to bed. After all, it's not a real arm, and it will hurt if you wear it all the time."

Shen Wenqiu became even more curious.

Seeing that he wanted to know very much, Lu Yong asked, "Do you want to see it?"

Shen asked Qiu: "Can I watch it?"

Lu Yong: "Okay." After finishing speaking, Lu Yong was ready to show it to him. It still made him feel a little ashamed when he put his fingers on the buttons. First, he had to take off his clothes——

Summer wears thin clothes, he wears a shirt with a T-shaped vest inside, Lu Yong is very fit, with a thick back, his bulging chest muscles support the elastic fabric, and his arms are also thick.

Shen Wenqiu always felt that he was different from Lu Yong when he was a teenager. He used to be lean, but now he has more muscles. It seems to be more than that. Yong's right shoulder: "I remember that your right shoulder used to be thinner than it is now."

Lu Yong was touched by him, and the base of his ears turned red secretly, and said: "I used to only work with my left hand, and the amount of muscle training on both sides was much worse. Later, I specially trained to make both shoulders as thick as possible."

Shen Wenqiu said with a smile: "During the military training in high school, you always walked in a straight line and accidentally went astray." Because the two sides are not balanced.

Lu Yong's metal prosthesis almost covered his shoulders. Shen Wenqiu generally knew why he didn't wear a prosthetic when he was studying, because it was not suitable for him, and the stump of Lu Yong's right hand was relatively short, so it was difficult to wear a cheaper traditional prosthetic.

He heard Lu Yong tell him that Lu Yong was not born with a disability. He was a boy with sound limbs before the age of ten. His right hand was his dominant hand and he could write well. That summer, he went back to his hometown to play. While picking raspberries in the woods, he encountered a poisonous snake and was bitten on his forearm.

Serum from that kind of venomous snake is very rare, there is no serum in the local area, and I went to two hospitals, but they couldn't be treated, and then I was sent to the central hospital. Medicine and communications were not so advanced in those days, and his life was in jeopardy. The attending doctor made a decisive decision and had no time to wait any longer. As a last resort, he finally chose amputation.

At any rate, his life was saved.

Lu Yong held his right arm with his left hand, pressed a button on the outside, and turned it again, only to hear a slight "click", and the arm was easily removed.

Shen Wenqiu clicked his tongue twice: "It's so cool."

There was a metal dent on the section of Lu Yong's severed arm. Before Shen Wenqiu asked, he took the initiative to explain: "This is the connection end implanted in surgery, implantable osseointegrated prosthetic technology. Put the prosthetic on it. stronger."

Shen Wenqiu asked itchyly, "Can I touch it?"

Lu Yong nodded.

Standing beside him, Shen Wenqiu stretched out her hand. Just as her fingertips touched his shoulder, she retracted it and said, "I'll go wash my hands first."

Shen Wenqiu deliberately went to wash his hands before coming back, for fear of getting bacteria. Seeing that Lu Yong was still sitting in the living room with his clothes half-faded, waiting to be touched, he always felt that something was wrong.

And look at it from his point of view. Sitting upright, Lu Yong reminded him of Aphrodite with a broken arm, or an ancient Roman warrior. Even though he lacked a hand, he was still full of classical beauty. The skeletal material of the arm section is also very technological, and it is mixed with him, which is contradictory and charming.

Shen Wenqiu's fingertips were slightly cold because of rushing through the water, and he gently stroked the surface of Lu Yong's severed limb. He asked, "Does it usually hurt?"

The place touched by Shen Wenqiu made Lu Yong feel like he was burning hot: "A little bit, but it's not a problem."

"Usually before going to bed and when I get up, I will disinfect and maintain it."

In the first few years after his hand was severed when he was a child, his phantom limb pain was particularly severe. He always felt that the severed arm was still there, and was still being burned and torn apart invisible. Every time he had an attack, the pain was unbearable. , keeping him awake all night. The doctor said that this disease is caused by the heart, and there is no cure. He can only persuade himself to be patient.

It got better later, it appeared intermittently occasionally, and it was still unbearable once it appeared.

But since he met Shen Wenqiu, this unexplainable and untreatable pain disappeared miraculously. It was the most comfortable period of time for him.

After they parted, the phantom limb pain recurred, and every time it happened, he would think of Shen Wenqiu, as if his body was constantly reminding him to remember Shen Wenqiu.

Also have to remember that Shen Wenqiu hates him, he can't get close to Shen Wenqiu again.

"Don't appear in front of me again in this life."

Like a charm.

Several times he could hardly bear the desire to ask his classmates about Shen Wenqiu, but he swallowed the words in the end. Once asked, he will relapse and become addicted again.

Lu Yong had heard about the bankruptcy of the Shen family, but he didn't take the initiative to inquire about it. He also knew that he was taken in by a friend, so he felt that he might not need his help.

Look, Shen Wenqiu is such a nice person.

Even without money, there are still a group of friends willing to help him. And he was just one of Shen Wenqiu's many friends. Insufficient. What's more, they have long since broken up, and they can't even be called friends.

He finally knew the situation was bad when he was contacted by the police.

The lawyer he found sorted out Shen Wenqiu's previous convictions and told him that Lu Yongcai realized that before he noticed, Shen Wenqiu had become a "bad person" in the sense of secular standards.

Just like Jiang Ling said.

But, if Shen Wenqiu hadn't become a "bad guy", when would he pick him up

He doesn't mind.

Shen Wenqiu is Shen Wenqiu.

Shen Wenqiu touched it, then leaned over and sniffed him: "It smells like a dog."

Lu Yong couldn't sit still: "I'm going to take a shower now."

He asked again: "If I'm not free at work, can you help me go to the hospital to see how the dog is doing?"

Shen Wenqiu didn't agree right away, he was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "If it's really inconvenient for you, I have nothing to do anyway."

Lu Yong just wanted to find something for him to do, people will think wildly when they have nothing to do, and only when they have something to do can they cheer up.

Shen Wenqiu was too lazy to take a bath, he lay down on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, thinking: How can I make Lu Yong so disappointed in me? What bad things did Jiangling say about me

That person from Jiangling used to have a good relationship with Shen Wenqiu, and Shen Wenqiu asked himself to kill himself, and he didn't drag anyone to die with him. Jiang Ling was good at gambling, and when he went to gamble with him, he lost more than five million yuan.

Later, Shen Wenqiu knew that Jiang Ling and his girlfriend were going to get married in half a month, so he was busy, so he sent a text message to the girl to inform her about it. This girl is also ruthless enough. She had already obtained the certificate at that time and was still pregnant with a child. She would rather have an abortion, divorce or break up.

From then on, Jiang Ling turned against him, hated him to death, and even called him a murderer.

Shen Wenqiu actually suspected that the place was taken over by the police, and it was Jiang Ling who reported it... although it should be reported.

Shen Wenqiu probably knew what Jiang Ling would say bad things about him, and he had vaguely heard it from others. After his family went bankrupt, he became a man of bad character.

So Shen Wenqiu said at breakfast, "Can you lend me some money?"

Lu Yong seemed a little vigilant, and asked: "...what do you want money for?"

Shen Wenqiu saw him clenching the fingers of the chopsticks, thinking, he must be suspecting that I want money to gamble, right? Normal people would not easily lend money to Gambling Dog. Betting on dogs is not worthy of sympathy.

Shen Wenqiu said: "I don't have any money in my pocket, it's too inconvenient. I need to buy cigarettes and alcohol."

Lu Yong pondered for a few minutes before reluctantly asking: "How much?"

Shen Wenqiu said, "Five thousand."

First pick out five thousand, he is quite capable if he can get money from such a thrifty person like Lu Yong

He smiled as if remembering something, and said, "... My monthly living expenses in high school are five thousand. I'll write you an IOU."

Lu Yong still didn't want to agree, Shen Wenqiu had money in his pocket, so he left with the travel expenses.

Shen Wenqiu seemed to acquiesce to the attitude he had promised, and said lightly and with a smile: "Give me the cash. Don't transfer money."

"Transfer to my account and the bank will directly transfer the debt."

Lu Yong frowned slightly, but for a moment, Shen Wenqiu saw it, and immediately lowered his eyelashes.

He wanted to annoy Lu Yong, but when he did, he felt like stabbing himself in the heart. Ha ha, now the evidence of his poor character is conclusive.

"Okay." Lu Yong said, without delay, he went directly to the bank's 24-hour ATM downstairs to withdraw 5,000 yuan in cash to Shen Wenqiu in exchange for a second IOU, which he carefully kept.

He didn't really care about the IOU, but if Shen Wenqiu wanted to write it, then he would accept it.

"Then I'm going to work." Lu Yong stood at the door and said to him, "I'll be back to cook before seven o'clock in the evening."

It seems to be implying that if you go out to play, you have to go home before seven o'clock.

"Yeah." Shen Wenqiu stood at the door, sending him away with a dispensable attitude.

Lu Yong always felt that something was wrong, especially after Shen Wenqiu's suspected behavior of leaving without saying goodbye yesterday.

He was very worried that Shen Wenqiu would disappear as soon as he came back today. He really wanted to stay at home and watch Shen Wenqiu. However, the company's experimental development process had to be watched closely, and various affairs had to be dealt with, and it was impossible for him to be trapped by his side like a person locked up.

To make Shen Wenqiu feel at ease by his side, will he stay for a long time, right

it is good. Lu Yong left.

He was the only one left at home.

Shen Wenqiu lowered his head, looked at the pile of brand new banknotes on the table, and counted them five or six times. It's annoying, damn it. What kind of holy father is Lu Yong? How did you become the president if you were so stupid? Knowing that he is likely to gamble, why give him money

He touched the edge of the banknote with his fingers and smelled the ink smell of the new banknote.

The money looked like any other money, but he knew it was different. Lu Yong's money was so clean, he couldn't bear to get it dirty.

Shen Wenqiu thought of those donation books signed "Lu Yong" in the study.

... Then Lu Yong asked, and then lied to him to eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble.
