The solid wood door is tightly closed, and the carvings on it are exquisite and elegant.
After a while, the doorknob finally moved slowly, and the door was slowly pulled open from the inside.
Lu Nan waited patiently, crossing his arms as he watched the crack in the door expand a little bit, revealing the slender and thin figure of the young man.
Lin Yuhe kept his head down, didn't dare to look at him when he opened the door, just stared at the dark pattern on his suit pants, and whispered.
"Last night... I was drunk."
Lu Nan raised his hand and twirled his long fingers together, and an inconspicuous small square appeared on his fingertips.
"I took out the memory card of the camera," he said indifferently, "Do you want to see it?"
Lin Yuhe was quite shocked, he raised his head suddenly, opened his eyes wide and stretched out his hand to reach Lu Nan's arm.
"No, no!"
Lu Nan grabbed his fingers with his backhand and pulled him out of the bedroom.
"Then go eat first."
Before Lin Yuhe could see clearly, the memory card was put away. He was nervous and could only search for topics randomly.
"Brother cares about breakfast." Lin Yuhe said dryly, "I used to think that people with positions like president would be too busy to eat three meals a day..."
"There's nothing you can do when you're busy."
Lu Nan answered his question seriously.
"But when conditions permit, you must eat three meals on time, maintain physical strength and health, and self-discipline can be exchanged for efficiency."
"This is responsible for work." Lu Nan said, "It is also responsible for oneself."
He squeezed Lin Yuhe's fingertips.
"Especially you, who have a poor foundation and like to mess around."
Lin Yuhe pursed his lips.
I don't know if it was because of the candid communication last night, but he felt that he had a deeper understanding of his brother.
For example, now, he could hear that the other party's tone was not accusation, but... pampering.
It's strange, the tone is so calm that it's almost indifferent, and the man also has a consistent expression, not smiling, all of these seem to have no way to be connected with the word "pampering", but Lin Yuhe really thinks so.
Then he heard Lu Nan say: "If supervision doesn't work anymore, there will be corresponding punishment."
Lin Yuhe was startled, looked up at Lu Nan, and saw the man raised his hand again and took out the memory card.
Lin Yuhe: "... I remember!"
Lu Nan lowered his head and kissed his forehead in satisfaction.
"good."
Lin Yuhe's sight was blocked for a moment, and he didn't see it at a glance, and he didn't know where the man put the memory card.
... He was wrong, where it is pampering, it is clearly evil!
He obediently followed to have breakfast, hoping that the night would be over soon. But just as the two sat down in the restaurant, Lu Nan spoke.
"How much do you remember about last night?"
"..."
Lin Yuhe, who was holding the hangover soup bowl, shook his hand.
Lu Nan didn't bully him again this time, and said bluntly, "If you don't remember, I'll explain to you again why you forget me."
After being drunk, Lin Yuhe was very frank. Apart from sticking to the difficulty of landing, he also expressed all the things he cared about.
Now that he knew he cared, Lu Nan naturally had to explain.
Lin Yuhe took a sip while holding the bowl with lowered eyes, and said softly.
"I remember it all."
He was a little embarrassed, but explained anyway.
"I don't drink well, but I won't break it... I will remember it the next day."
Lin Yuhe rarely gets drunk, not only because he doesn't hold enough alcohol, but also because he doesn't want to lose his composure after drinking.
There are different types of gaffes after drinking, but when it comes to Lin Yuhe's place, he is especially... talkative. There was a club dinner before, and Lin Yuhe was drunk, and when he came back, he took his roommates to talk, and took care of Zhu Bo, who happened to have a cold, all night, sitting by the bedside to help bring water and medicine. Beau recovered from his illness the next day.
Zhen Ling and Shen Huixi almost died of laughter.
After waking up the next day, Lin Yuhe remembered the whole process clearly, and he couldn't even write a single word of enlightenment, which made him almost autistic, and he didn't have the nerve to talk to Zhu Bo for most of the day.
After a few times of getting drunk, both Lin and He remembered their drunken experiences very clearly, and there was no way to deceive themselves or others. So he seldom drank alcohol, and he drank a little last night because the green plum wine had a very low alcohol content.
Unexpectedly, he was hit.
It's really hard for him to think about what happened last night calmly now, especially when he was still rubbing against someone and saying "become bigger"...
gosh.
Lin Yuhe was ashamed to see people.
He rubbed his forehead, and it took him a while to calm down, and said, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to my brother,"
Lu Kuan looked at him, but said: "It's okay, it's the same when I'm drunk."
Lin Yuhe was stunned: "Almost?"
Does your brother talk a lot when he's drunk
He imagined it... it was hard to imagine.
In the end, Lu couldn't help it: "It will reveal your true nature."
He said, "Probably trouble you too."
Lin Yuhe: "..."
Having experienced too much, he understood the danger in this sentence without a teacher, and subconsciously held the bowl and moved away a little.
Although he knew that his brother was comforting him, Lin Yuhe didn't feel that he was comforted much.
... doesn't sound like a good thing for him.
Fortunately, Lu Nan didn't mention what happened last night again, and Lin Yuhe was finally able to finish breakfast peacefully.
After breakfast, they packed up their things and they were ready to go out.
There are many mountains in Shu, and there has always been a custom of climbing high to pray for blessings during the New Year. Lin Yuhe and the others are also going to climb the mountain today, but what they are going to is not a famous mountain like Emei Qingcheng, but a local wild mountain in Baixi Town.
This mountain is called Baishan, and it is not far behind the bamboo forest, so it is very convenient to go there. The Lin family has always had the habit of climbing Baishan Mountain during Chinese New Year. On the top of the mountain there is an old pine tree that can be surrounded by three people. When Lin and He were young, the family would go to the pine branch to tie a red silk every year to pray for a safe coming year.
It's just that Lin Yuhe was in poor health when he was a child. When his peers were running, jumping and having fun in the mountains, he could only watch his friends run up the mountain from the swing set that his grandfather made for him at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Yuhe's asthma did not become controllable until he had surgery at the age of eighteen. In the past three years, he has returned to Baixi for the New Year, but because of the low temperature in winter and his chills, he has not arranged to go hiking.
This year, because of the improvement in physical condition, the cold hands and feet have obviously eased a lot, and because Lu is difficult to come, Lin Yuhe will come to climb the mountain with others.
Although it is only a wild mountain, Baishan is densely covered with trees and has beautiful scenery, which is not inferior to scenic spots. Moreover, the ecology here is excellent, and wild pandas have been found in the past two years, and it was just designated as a new nature reserve last year.
When the two of them went up the mountain, they took the stone step road, which saved a lot of effort than the steep path before it was developed. However, this is still a mountain after all, and it will take at least two hours to complete the climb, which is still a bit strenuous for Lin and He.
He and Lu Nan climbed up from the foot of the mountain together. Lin Yuhe's physical strength was not too strong, and he didn't talk much, but Lu Nan walked all the way to introduce him to the vegetation, rarely talking too much.
Lin Yuhe was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lu Nan to know so much about vegetation.
Thinking of how the other party taught him to skateboard, Lin Yuhe really felt that his brother could be equated with Almighty.
Chatting all the way, it makes people feel that the journey is long, and they have walked a long way without knowing it.
After resting twice on the way, the two reached the top of the mountain before noon. The fresh, oxygen-enriched air made breathing much more comfortable. Lin Yuhe stood beside the boulder on the peak and looked up.
Lin Yuhe looked at the scenery in front of him, but couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
Why does he feel that this place is... somewhat familiar
Always feel deja vu.
Lin Yuhe has a hobby of looking from a high place, especially when he is in a bad mood, this kind of distant looking is more calming. He was used to looking down from the top of the ten-story dormitory building. But in Lin Yuhe's memory, he has never climbed this mountain by himself, how could he feel the scenery here is familiar
Lin Yuhe looked to the side, Lu Nan was standing beside him, looking at the beautiful mountain scenery with him.
Looking at the man's deep and three-dimensional side profile, and recalling the science popularization and familiarity with the road all the way up the mountain, Lin Yuhe suddenly thought of something.
"...we came up together?"
Sure enough, Lu Nan nodded.
Lin Yuhe was a little surprised: "Can I climb mountains at that time?"
Lu Nan said, "I carried you up."
"..." Lin Yuhe touched the tip of his nose.
Judging from the remaining sense of familiarity, he must have seen the scenery on the top of the mountain quite a few times, so it is conceivable... how many times Lu Nan has memorized him.
Lu Nan put one hand on the boulder beside him.
"You like this rock so much, you always sit on it and look down."
This rock stands at the highest point of the mountain, and ordinary people standing next to it will inevitably feel weak legs because of fear of heights, but Lin Yuhe doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Although he is in poor health, he yearns for the scenery at a high place.
Lin Yuhe looked at the stone and vaguely remembered something.
"It seems to be true." He said, "When I carved the pattern before, I seemed to want to carve it on this stone, but I couldn't climb it... so I chose the one in the bamboo forest."
At that time, he wanted to give his brother a surprise, and he didn't want Lu Nan to know in advance, so he ran out secretly to engrave.
But two days ago, I heard from Lu Nan that he broke his hand several times, so I guess Lu Nan already knew about it.
I also know that this kind of thing can't be hidden.
Lin Yuhe laughed, and said: "It was really stupid at that time... The wood carving knife used for carving stones was still used for wood carving. Mom saw that I always broke the knife, so she dared not let me learn wood carving."
Could it be that Lu: "Have you continued to study?"
"Yeah." Lin Yuhe nodded, "But it's been a long time since I engraved it. I still carry a piece of ebony with me. I brought it back this time and kept it at home."
"And coincidentally, the smell of that piece of ebony is very similar to that of my brother."
As he spoke, he saw a faint smile on Lu Nan's lips.
Lin Yuhe suddenly realized: "...you gave me that piece of wood?"
"Hmm." Lu Nan said.
"It's a piece of ebony that I found here when I took you up the mountain."
Ebony is extremely precious, known as the "Oriental Godwood", but ordinary people seldom know what to buy.
That piece of wood was huge, Lu Nan only dug out a small piece, and chipped a piece for Lin and He.
Later, when he left Sichuan and took over the shares left by his parents, because he was short of cash, he had to start over again, dug out the ebony, and exchanged it for cash, which solved the urgent need.
Lin Yuhe was stunned.
This is not uncommon, there have been news about digging up a million yuan ebony when building a house.
Lu Nan said again: "Because that piece of ebony is very complete, it is more precious than the wooden block, and the buyer was not willing to disassemble it. After several times of turning the shaft, I bought it back later."
He looked at the forest in front of him and said, "There is more than one piece of ebony here."
After that, seven sections of ebony were unearthed one after another, totaling nearly 800 tons, all of which were transported out.
It is these seven sections of ebony that have developed a complete ebony industry.
"In addition to wood carving processing, ebony can also extract spices. Afterwards, some brands cooperated with each other to develop ebony perfume." Lu Nan said.
… perfume
Only then did Lin Yuhe react.
"you… "
Lu Nan nodded: "That's what I use."
"Because you liked the smell of ebony back then, you always carried that piece of ebony with you."
"I have been smoking since then, and even if I quit, there will inevitably be a smell of smoke. I was afraid that you would smell uncomfortable when you approached, so I found someone to develop a perfume with this smell."
Lin Yuhe was stunned.
The most familiar and most reassuring scent of heavy wood... was actually made especially for him.
Suddenly, there was a warm touch on the side of his face.
Lin Yuhe raised his eyes, Lu Nan pressed his palm against his cheek, looked at him, and said in a low voice.
"You may have misunderstood me, Ningning."
"You always think I'm a perfect person who can do everything, don't you?"
Lin Yuhe couldn't argue.
He always felt that Lu Nan was an impeccable person, so perfect that he lost his sense of reality. No one can resist the charm of this man, anyone will be tempted.
So Lin Yuhe always felt that the situation would be the same with another person.
But Lu Nan told him.
"No, I am not."
"I became like this because of you."
"Become what you like."
