When I came out, there were no people on the street, and there weren't even a few cars. All the people who worked and went to school went home. This city is the most deserted few days of the New Year all year round.
Their car was parked across the street, and they could only walk across a road that wasn't long or short. The snow on the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice because no one was cleaning it. Li Sui was holding something in his left and right hands. One of them slipped on the bottom of his feet without noticing that he almost rubbed the car that was speeding by.
When Lu Shang heard the movement, he turned around and waited for him to approach, and handed him a hand. Li Sui froze in place, clumsily moved the bags to one side, freeing up the other hand to hold them. Lu Shang's fingers were cold and not warm, and it was not comfortable to touch in the winter, but Li Sui stared at the clasped hands, as if he heard warm sounds flowing in his ears.
When they went back in the evening, Aunt Lu boiled ginger and pear juice for the two of them, and drank a large bowl each before going to bed to hangover and keep out the cold.
"Don't you have to go to the office tomorrow?" Li Sui had already figured out Lu Shang's rules. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he handed over the hot water and the pills.
"Well," Lu Shishang dried his hair with a bath towel and took the pills, "Why don't you take out your new phone and try it?"
Hearing this, Li Sui quickly turned the bag out, as if he had been waiting for this moment. Lu Shang sat on the bed, threw the box, gave him a calling card, put his number in it, and handed it back to him: "Call one."
The name Lu Shang gave himself was called "Lu Shang", which was simple and clear, without any title. Li Sui stared at the extra entry in the address book, his mood was far more complicated than he imagined. This kind of feeling is probably incomprehensible to ordinary people. His past is blank, just like this address book, and now, look, there is one more person, how incredible.
Many people will say "Contact" when they meet each other and leave a number. By leaving this string of numbers, they will accept the other party to establish contact with you by default. In his small world, Lu Shang is the first such person.
"Is that so, there seems to be no response?" Li Sui dialed out, but there was no sound in the room.
Lu Shang opened the drawer with one hand, revealing a bright light inside: "I muted it, you can try this again." After that, he handed him the tablet.
This thing was complicated for Li Sui, but it wasn't that he had never touched it before. It was also used in bar orders. Li Sui has always had no interest in this type of electronic products, and always felt that the operation was too complicated and the screen was too fancy, so he would never touch it when he could not use it.
The interface that Lu Shang handed over was very simple, with a pure black background, large words, and only a few icons on it.
"These two are for beginners in English, and this one is for learning idioms," Lu Shang patiently taught him, "this one is used for questions, and the teacher will teach you how to use it after class, you know?"
Li Sui: "Okay."
Lu Shang stroked a few more times and asked, "What is the birthday?"
Li Sui didn't answer, Lu Shang glanced up and knew that he had asked an extra question, so he pulled his finger over and pressed it on the button in the middle.
After recording his fingerprints, Lu Shang demonstrated it to him personally: "This way, it's opened."
Company A's products have always been user-friendly and very easy to use. Li Sui tried the tablet for a while, and quickly grasped the key points. He turned to report to Lu Shang, but found that he had fallen asleep with his eyes closed.
When Li Sui listened to Liang Zirui's bragging, he accidentally mentioned that Lu Shang's willpower is amazing, and he always seems to be full of energy in front of people, but in fact his body is easily fatigued. Thinking about how he had hardly rested all day, and driving him around in the snow at night, he must be extremely tired.
Li Sui lightly put all the phablets into the drawer, and quietly turned off the lights.
The bedroom was well heated, but Lu Shang's body temperature was on the low side, especially his lower limbs, his legs and feet were cold, and there was no temperature at all. Li Sui couldn't help but leaned over gently and passed him a little body temperature. He was used to being cold since he was a child, but instead he developed a physique that kept him warm no matter how thin he was wearing.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that he felt the bed warm up. Li Sui felt hot, and subconsciously rolled to the side and continued to curl up in a ball. This action disturbed the sleepy Lu Shang. Those who didn't wake up had poor self-control, and he was no exception.
The hug was so tight that when I woke up the next day, there was an embarrassing situation. Lu Shang is a normal person. He has the same reactions that ordinary men have in the morning. Because of his health, he has lived a life of abstinence for many years, but that does not mean that he will be different from others in this regard. Li Sui didn't react at first, but after he understood, he sweated out of embarrassment. He froze on the bed, Lu Shang didn't move, and he didn't dare to move. In a daze, the phrase "meat compensation" that the shop owner said last night, intentionally or unintentionally, appeared in his mind.
God, why does he not understand serious knowledge, but he is so proficient in this vocabulary!
After a while, Lu Shang should have woken up, with the back of his hand on his forehead, not knowing what he was thinking. Li Sui went up and down, and the little thought in his heart began to stir again. He had been in a smoky place like a bar for a long time, and he had seen some level of restricted-level pictures. In addition, Lu Shang had half-jokingly mentioned parenting before. He couldn't help worrying about whether he should be a little bit conscious of being nurtured... He turned around as if using all his courage, raised his head and met Lu Shang's eyes, avoiding his gaze awkwardly, like a swimming fish. Meng Zha was about to burrow into the quilt, but Lu Shang quickly grabbed his chin and lifted it up.
Lu Shang stared at him, his eyes clearly asking "what do you want to do".
Li Sui's face turned red, and it was very red. His eyes were big, and he woke up again. Yiyu's black eyes seemed particularly unsteady. When Lu Shang saw him like this, he understood what he meant, and he laughed at once. He rarely had times of great joy and sorrow, and his usual smile was mostly polite. Li Sui felt his breath at close range for the first time. I feel that the information conveyed at this moment is warm and pleasant.
"I will feel guilty." Lu Shang patted his head with a smile, and graciously gave him a step down.
Li Sui didn't know whether it was a sin or not, but now he was sure that Lu Shang was indeed as Aunt Lu said, not a casual person. His requirements for his partner seem to be very high, otherwise on his terms, he would not have remained single for so many years.
The sound of water came from the bathroom, Li Sui buried his head in the quilt like an ostrich, and felt very embarrassed by his abruptness, but he also calmed down at this moment. He didn't seem to be worried that Lu Shang would send him away.
The two got up late, and Aunt Lu cooked them a casserole porridge, put shrimps and mandarin duck shells, and served them with the wrapped spring cakes. Li Sui could eat the whole thing in one bite, and his mouth was full of sweet sauce. He always eats deliciously, which drives the appetite of others. As a cook, Aunt Lu is even more delighted. Since there is this child in the family, her craftsmanship has hardly been wasted.
Lu Shang had always been restrained, eating half a bowl of porridge, and giving the rest to Li Sui.
"Boss Lu, you eat so little, won't you be hungry?" Li Sui wondered.
Lu Shang didn't intend to explain to him that eating would make the digestive system take up too much resources and make the heart difficult to work. He only said, "I'm like your age, and I can eat very well."
Li Sui made up for Lu Shang's devouring look, thinking it was unlikely.
Aunt Lu came to ask about the lunch menu, Lu Shang ordered a few home-cooked dishes, and asked her to boil a pot of rock sugar pear water. They have been eating together these days, and Lu Shang gradually noticed that Li Sui tasted like a child and liked desserts, especially pear water. He could drink several bowls at a time.
"Boss Lu is really considerate." Aunt Lu smiled.
Li Sui didn't notice this, took the spring cake that Lu Shang handed over, and bit into his mouth: "Will you become a fat man?"
Lu Shang wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth: "You only look like a man when you're fat."
Aunt Lu walked out knowingly.
It is rare that there is no work today, and no one bothers, and the two spent a pleasant afternoon. Lu Shang basically spent his free time reading books, occasionally leaning on the chair to take a nap, while Li Sui held the tablet next to him to do problems, and occasionally observed Lu Shang.
It will be New Year's Eve in two days. Lu Shang doesn't pay much attention to festivals, so there is no Chinese New Year atmosphere in the Lu family. It's just that Uncle Yuan has taken leave, and his family has just added a little grandson. As people get older, they will always be extra dependent on their relatives. Lu Shang agreed to leave without saying a word, and even took him to the station in person. The company's driver, Xiao Zhao, was driving him these days.
Aunt Lu only cooks lunch on New Year's Day, and dinner will be prepared for him in advance. It can be eaten as soon as it is hot. Naturally, she has to go home for the New Year at home.
In previous years, he was alone, but he didn't think it was a big deal. It was over when he read books and busy with work. This year, there was one more person at home. Looking at the darkening sky, Lu Shang seriously considered whether it was time to do some New Year's gifts.
As dinner approached, the tranquility was broken. Lu Shang received a call and Yan Ke wanted to invite him to dinner.
Li Sui watched him go back to the bedroom to change his clothes, and followed him in two steps: "Do you want to go out?"
Yan Ke's appointment was naturally about the transfer of shares. Lu Shang didn't plan to take him, but thinking about the gun incident that Zuo Chao told him that day, he thought it would be safer to take him with him.
Yan Ke and Lu Shang are similar in age and have similar family backgrounds, but their personalities are completely different. Yan Ke is a world-weary young man of literature and art. He is determined to follow the path of a painter. He doesn't pay much attention to things in the market, so he doesn't pay much attention to the shares left by his parents, which allows Lu Shang to seize the opportunity.
The address is about Hot Spring Villa, on a hot spring mountain in the suburbs. After arriving, Lu Shang found out that Sun Mao was also there. Out of the 20 million people, he is now obedient to Lu Shang. Yan Ke sold his shares. There is also a lot of power in the middle.
"What is Li Yan doing recently?" Lu Shang asked as he walked inside.
Sun Mao glanced at Li Sui behind him, and said, "He's been quite calm recently. I heard that he opened an international cosmetics company, and he even bought a special ship to transport the goods."
Just after getting the approval, he hurriedly started shipping the goods. Such a period of incompleteness in all aspects is the most likely to go wrong. Lu Shang has always disagreed with the Li family's upstart-like way of doing things. sooner or later.
They went in and saw a lot of people coming. They sat in a small hall, Yan Ke sat in the middle, his hair was slightly long, and it was tied behind his head.
"Bring a friend here?" Yan Ke smiled.
"Come to return the gift," Lu Shang also smiled and asked Li Sui to give him the candy toy model in his hand, "I would also like to thank Ling Qianjin for cutting love."
Yan Ke was stunned for a moment, his eyes wandering on Li Sui for a while, and then he realized that Xu Weilan said that day that he wanted to borrow his daughter's toy, which turned out to be for this man. Yan Ke has always felt that Lu Shang is too old-fashioned and serious, so this party has found so many friends and friends to accompany him. The abstinence-like handsome man is not pleasing to the eye, but Lu Shang gave him a big game.
"You're really... a blockbuster." Yan Ke searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable word.
Lu Shang smiled and said to Li Sui, "This is your Uncle Yan."
"Don't, don't..." Yan Ke quickly waved his hand, and Li Sui smiled wryly: "Brother Yan."
"Hey!" Yan Ke stood up, took out his pocket, took out a stack of US dollars, and stuffed it in without counting, "Come here, New Year's money."
"This..." Li Sui was taken aback, but he didn't hear that the big brother still had money to call, so he turned to ask Lu Shang.
Yan Ke has a straight temper. If he wants to give money, he must want to give it. In his hometown, it was the first time that a family member asked a girlfriend to meet him. profound recognition. Lu Shang knew this well, but he didn't mention it. He just smiled lightly and nodded in agreement: "Take it."
