When Lu Shang woke up in the morning, his side was empty. He lay down for a while before slowly getting up, putting on his clothes and pushing open the bedroom door.
The weather was good, the sun shone through the glass windows, and the room was warm. He listened for a while, and went to the corner unexpectedly. There was a small kitchen there, and Li Sui was cooking breakfast with a frying pan. He probably just sprinkled some oil, and the pan made a sizzling sound.
"Are you awake?" Li Sui looked back at him, his eyes lit up a little, and there was a hint of shyness that didn't mean anything.
Lu Shang can't tell what's wrong with this picture. Why does it seem like a newlywed couple in an idol drama. He doesn't like oil fumes, so he leaned against the door and didn't go in: "What are you doing?"
"Egg burritos."
There were some ingredients in the refrigerator for the guests to prepare for themselves, but very few people actually came to cook. Li Sui swiftly spread the spread omelette on the plate and began to brush the sauce on it.
Lu Shang waited for the fumes to dissipate, walked over, and saw that the green shredded cucumbers were neatly cut on the plate, the ends of the baked bacon were slightly rolled, and there was a casserole next to it, and a small half-pot of pumpkin porridge was boiled in it. Poof bubbling, the sweet smell permeates the kitchen, making people appetite. The meat and vegetables are suitable, and the salty and sweet are matched. Naturally, it is impossible to have such a complete set of equipment in the refrigerator. Most of them rushed to the market early in the morning to buy them.
"Why did you suddenly think of cooking?"
"Just do it if you want." Li Sui lowered his head and rolled the egg pancake, cut it into two pieces and placed it on the plate, then took two more bowls to hold the porridge.
Lu Shang stared at him for a while, but didn't say a word. He went to the bathroom thoughtfully. When he finished washing and changed his clothes, he came out. Breakfast was already on the table. Li Sui sat at the table and peeled the shrimp. The bowl, the shrimp tail and the shrimp intestines were all cleaned up, leaving only a bunch of pink and tender shrimp balls.
The sense of disobedience in his heart became stronger, and he always wondered if the child had taken the wrong medicine today.
"Come and try it?" Li Sui looked at him with a look of anxiety and anticipation.
After taking his thoughts away, Lu Shang walked to the dining table and sat down. He picked up his chopsticks and couldn't help but pause: "You did all this?"
"yes."
The crust is golden in color, moderate in thickness, and looks soft, but the crust is crispy when you bite into it. It is slightly chewy, full of egg aroma, and the sauce is not much or not, just overflowing from the interlayer, mixed with the fragrance of cucumber and bacon The smoky flavor is not only wonderful, but familiar.
"How is it?" Li Sui asked hurriedly.
"Not bad." Lu Shang nodded.
This sentence is not perfunctory, this egg roll is indeed done quite well, exactly the same as Aunt Lu's, and he really misses the smell of home a little after he came out for half a month. This kid doesn't usually cook, he didn't expect to cook, and he observes meticulously. Lu Shang really likes egg cakes, but he eats very little, because to make this cake delicious, he must put more oil, and he can't take too much oil because of his health, so Aunt Lu rarely cooks it for him. .
Since Li Sui came to Lu's house, Aunt Lu has only done it two or three times in total. Unexpectedly, he stretched out his chopsticks twice more, which made Li Sui notice and secretly learned the method.
Li Sui looked very happy, and pushed the bowl in his hand: "Try this shrimp, I have already peeled it."
This gesture of showing favor is too obvious. Lu Shang endured it and raised his head with a complicated expression: "You..."
Li Sui's expression changed slightly: "What's wrong? Can't you eat it?"
"You... bring me the medicine."
It was also rare. When Lu Shang couldn't ask questions, it wasn't that he didn't understand Li Sui's thoughts. On the contrary, it was precisely because he knew what Li Sui was thinking that he couldn't bear to pierce him. This child has a simple mind, and the reason for doing this is just to be nice to him. In front of this purity, all words seem too utilitarian.
I don't know if it's because of the high temperature in Hainan. After coming here, Lu Shang's body has improved a lot. He has not felt much discomfort after going out and walking in the past two days. Li Sui, like a little tail, obeyed Uncle Yuan's instructions and stayed with Lu Shang. At first, Lu Shang thought that he was in an unfamiliar environment.
Li Sui didn't know where he learned it. He was sticking to him like glue. He kept all his food and clothing costs in mind. His eyes never left his body from morning to night. He even listened to him when he took a bath. Movement outside the house. Rao Shi, who has always been calm, Lu Shang couldn't stand it anymore, so he said he had to find a time to talk to him.
In the evening, Yan Ke called and said that he wanted to invite him to dinner, but the words on the phone were vague. Lu Shang knew that he had other things inconvenient to talk about, so he took Li Sui with him, and as soon as he entered the store, he saw the eldest son of the Sima family sitting there. In the elegant seat, a pair of eyes were red.
Sima Jingrong changed into a casual outfit today, with a dazzling earring in his left ear, much more normal than on the cruise ship that day. When I saw them, I immediately stood up and made an awkward "please" gesture.
The two looked at each other and took their seats.
"Uncle Lu, I'll give you a toast, thank you for helping me that day." Sima Jingrong said that he was 1.85 meters tall, and he was very big. When his uncle called out, he heard Li Sui's ear piercing for some reason.
Lu Shang's face was as usual, he didn't take the glass of wine, touched him with the teacup next to him, raised his head and drank it all.
Sima Jingrong froze for a moment, his expression was slightly hurt, and he dried up the wine embarrassingly.
"How is your home?" Lu Shang filled the teacup.
"That's it, my dad said he will leave me alone in the future." Speaking of family affairs, Sima Jingrong showed some impatience on his face again, "Uncle Yan said that I should go back and talk to him, but his temper tantrums. Knowing that I made a mess in Hainan, I would be surprised if I didn't kill me when I went back, so I don't want to go back and fight."
Lu Shang declined to comment and said lightly, "It's your father after all."
"Father?" Sima Jingrong said disdainfully, "If he still had any feelings for me, he wouldn't ask me for the shares my mother left me before she died."
Lu Shang keenly captured a trace of something unusual. The Sima family was a matriarchal family, and started out as a clothing agency, and later began to do e-commerce. His father, Yue Pengfei, was the Sima family's son-in-law, and he first married his eldest daughter. After his death in childbirth, he married the youngest daughter of the Sima family. This person is a genius. With his own skills, he opened his own subsidiary with the money of the Sima family, and created a one-stop model integrating logistics and online sales. All the way to the present, he has almost monopolized the three parts of North China, South China and South China. Regional agency, the year before last also on the GEM.
"No way," Lu Shang calmly rubbed the rim of the cup and told him, "As far as I know, Mr. Yue should not be that kind of person."
"You are all confused by his appearance," Sima Jingrong said anxiously, "He also told me that he would pay it back when he lent it to him. Who would he lie to? If the money was given to him, he would definitely return it to Sima Yan. , I'm not stupid!"
Sima Jingrong's mother was the sole shareholder of the company. After his mother passed away, 80% of the shares were given to Sima Jingrong, and only 20% was left to her husband Yue Pengfei. This stake was nothing at the time, but after so many years, e-commerce has developed rapidly, and after Yue Pengfei's operation, it is no longer the scale it used to be. Sima Jingrong doesn't care about business, I'm afraid he doesn't. Know how rich you are.
As for Yue Pengfei's little action, Sima Jingrong couldn't understand it, but Lu Shang understood Yue Pengfei's intention almost immediately. He wanted to go public through the backdoor.
After the listing, a large proportion of allotments to raise funds will change the company's existing structure, and the company's prospects and operability can be greatly improved. In general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In this analysis, although this father has great ambitions, it is not necessarily that he has not considered the situation of his son.
"Uncle Lu, what do you think I should do?" Sima Jingrong asked for help.
Lu Shang felt a little strange: "Didn't your father send you to study business?"
"It's a gift, but I don't understand it, and I'm not short of money. Why do I learn these things? Besides, the sky is high and the road is far away. Who knows what will happen to the family when I leave."
No wonder Yue Pengfei likes his younger son. If he were his father, he would be pissed off.
Even Li Sui couldn't listen anymore: "Then you've become a miser?"
Lu Shang gently pulled him from the bottom of the table, but he couldn't say it directly. He only persuaded politely: "At your age, you should still focus on your studies."
Li Sui turned his head and glanced at Lu Shang, but he remembered that he had heard Uncle Yuan say before that when Lu Shang's father died of illness and Lu Shang urgently returned to China to carry the entire Dongyan Group by himself, it was the same age as their age at that time. Almost, it can only be said that the gap between people is too great.
Yan Ke was late, and Li Sui nodded and greeted him, "Brother Yan."
"Hey, I'm late, and the road is stuck in traffic," Yan Ke said with a smile, "How about just drinking, ordering food, the seafood here is good." After speaking, he called the waiter to bring the menu.
After the last contact, Li Sui became less cautious towards this elder. He poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Last time my words were too impulsive. Thank you Big Brother Yan for helping me clear the siege." Xiang Sima also nodded, "Jing Rong also takes more care."
When he spoke, he deliberately strengthened the word "big brother", as if he was deliberately correcting his seniority. Lu Shang smiled a little, but didn't speak, Yan Ke reacted and slapped his forehead: "It's my fault, Jing Rong, you'll still be called Brother Lu in the future, he's not a few years older than you, blame me and blame me , the seniority is messed up, I always think that you are still the little fat man of the year, and it was only when I saw Xiao Li that you should be the same generation, hahaha..."
Sima Jingrong blushed, and Lu Shang smiled at him: "He's joking, call him whatever you want."
"I-I'm going to make some sauces..." Sima Jingrong stood up awkwardly.
"I'll go too." Li Sui followed.
Yan Ke looked at the backs of the two and couldn't help but said, "Aren't you afraid they would fight?"
Lu Shang lowered his head and drank tea: "It's better for people of the same age to communicate with each other. I, the uncle, will not join in the fun."
"Why do you still hold revenge?"
Lu Shang glanced up and jumped to the topic: "Do you have any business dealings with Yue Pengfei? Help me connect."
"Yes, but yes, what do you want to do?"
"He wants to backdoor, I happen to have a big gift here, he should like it."
When it comes to things in the shopping mall, Yan Ke has always been very particular about etiquette and exchanges, and immediately nodded: "Wait for my news."
The flavor plates are all in the form of self-service, with various condiments lined up, and guests can choose according to their preferences. Li Sui avoided chili sauce and mustard, and adjusted one sweet and sour and one savory.
Sima Jingrong, who was on the side, couldn't see it, so he dug out a spoonful of chili sauce to put it in his bowl: "You have to add a little more spiciness."
Li Sui hurriedly covered the sauce and avoided: "I don't want it."
"What's good without spicy food."
"You can add your own if you like. What do you care about me?"
Sima Jingrong rolled his eyes in disdain: "No taste."
Unwilling to be left behind, Li Sui choked back, "You have tastes different from yours, and you have no taste. You still take yourself so seriously."
Sima Jingrong choked and stepped in front of him: "Don't think I'll thank you for saying a few words that day!"
"You are grateful to me and my life has not been sublimated." Li Sui raised his head.
The two faced each other and were of the same height. He wished that fire would shine in his eyes. Li Sui shouted in a low voice, "Get out of the way."
Sima Jingrong stared at him fiercely, confronted for a long time, but was still discouraged and slowly backed away.
During the meal, Yan Ke and Lu Shang were basically talking, Sima Jingrong was like a lost ball, and the meal was listless. Li Sui busily lowered his head to peel the crabs for Lu Shang, without even looking at him.
Halfway through the meal, Yan Ke couldn't bear it anymore. The two people showed their love so much that he, who was already a father, began to feel embarrassed, so he hurriedly poured a cup of coconut juice for Li Sui: "Don't patronize and peel it, you can eat it too. what."
Lu Shang put down his chopsticks and took the two crabs in his hand: "I'll come."
Li Sui was willing to let him do it, so he hurriedly took it and said, "I'll do it myself."
Sima Jingrong's eyes wandered back and forth between the two on the opposite side, with a strange expression. He didn't know what the relationship between Lu Shang and Li Sui was. He only felt that the behavior between the two seemed to be too close. The above thought, but the more he looked at it, the more wrong he was, so he hurriedly turned his head and glanced at Yan Ke. Yan Ke understood his eyes, smiled and dug a spoonful of steamed eggs with clams into his bowl, patted his shoulder, and comforted: "Forgot to tell you, they are a couple."
When he was affirmed, Sima Jingrong was struck by lightning, his complexion was as pale as earth.
Li Sui glanced at him inadvertently, as if deliberately, and whispered a word in Lu Shang's ear, Lu Shang's mouth curved when he heard that, and nodded.
Sima Jingrong's face flushed red. He only felt that the two of them must be talking about something shameful. The rich associations for a while were like a flood that had leaked from the gate. Still stagnant.
When he was leaving, Li Sui said goodbye to Yan Ke. Sima Jingrong just woke up from a dream and hurriedly took out a business card and handed it to him. Li Sui was puzzled for a while, so he didn't pick it up.
Instead, Sima Jingrong became impatient: "Take it."
Li Sui looked back at Lu Shang. The latter didn't give any instructions, and completely relied on his own decision-making attitude, so he reached out and took it: "This is?"
"My phone number," Sima Jingrong said awkwardly, "you can call me if you have anything."
Li Sui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became happy. Before he could speak, the person opposite raised his hand and left behind Yan Ke.
"What are you laughing at?" Lu Shang caught a glimpse of whether he wanted to laugh or not.
"This person is really interesting." Li Sui said, shaking his business card and smiling at Lu Shang, "Is this the first friend I made?"
Lu Shang analyzed: "The Sima family is very strong. If you can be friends with him, it will be very helpful to you in the future."
Lu Shang was also surprised by Sima's move. He couldn't understand the world of young people. The two children had completely different personalities. He really couldn't figure out how to get along if they became friends. Li Sui is restrained and mature, while Sima is naive, but the two have something in common, and they are pure enough.
"My words were so ugly, I thought he would hate me."
"He just refuses to admit it, but he actually agrees with what you said."
It is true that Sima Jingrong does not have problems with the three views. This child understands everything from right to wrong, but he has not grown up in his mental age. It can be seen from the fact that he calls his uncle when he sees people, and his self-recognition is not accurate enough. People are really lazy. If he realizes his own consciousness one day, and enters the right path to study hard, it may not be a man that can be made.
"I don't want to target him either," Li Sui said frankly, "I don't want others to call you so old."
Lu Shang rubbed his chin at leisure: "Am I old?"
"You're not even thirty, so you're getting old." Li Sui paused, then whispered, "I'll be with you even if you're old."
A car whistle whistled by the roadside, Lu Shang turned his head: "What did you just say?"
Li Sui hurriedly avoided his gaze: "It's nothing."
