poorer than

There was cozy music playing in the coffee shop, but the atmosphere at a certain table was extremely serious.

Lu Wei, who came to build momentum, was wearing a dark blue custom-made suit, combed the hair of a gentleman, and wore gold-rimmed glasses. The handsome and three-dimensional appearance mixed with Chinese and Western styles exuded the innate luxury of his body under the restrained and luxurious dress. I saw him sitting gracefully on the back of the chair and drinking black tea, feeling extremely comfortable.

It was as if the two sitting in front of him were not human beings.

"You are Captain Lu, right?"

Lu Wei raised his eyes slightly, his deep eyes seemed to be somewhat displeased with Xia Shangzhe's gaze falling on Xia Shangzhe through the cold frame. He gently put the teacup back on the table, and when the bottom of the cup touched the glass table, there was a small but crisp sound sound.

"What identity are you asking me? Is it Chengcheng's father or the Xia Group's President Xia?"

The unhurried voice made Xia Shangzhe frowned: "Of course it's Chengcheng's father."

"Then I refuse to talk to you." Lu Wei said directly, his eyes fell on Xia Shangzhe and Zhou Rui, especially Zhou Rui.

Xia Shangzhe seemed to be stepped on against the scales, how could he bear being so oppressed by a junior, but...

He has no choice, now that Chengcheng is still in the hands of this man, he has to seek perfection.

"Is Chengcheng with you?"

When Lu Wei heard this, he was speechless, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "What kind of words are these?"

Xia Shangzhe met his eyes: "Chengcheng is talented, as far as I know Mr. Lu is rounded to 30 years old, even if you have been together for a while, this will not be the reason for your relationship."

These words made Lu Wei even more determined that he wanted to take his little baby away. Instead of asking what happened to his son, he asked him if he was forced. Chengcheng was able to grow up so big and so well all on his own, so he believed it.

"Do you think Chengcheng was forced to get used to it? Or do you think Chengcheng reluctantly followed me because I was rich?"

Xia Shangzhe was very displeased with his rhetorical question: "Is it because you don't know? Chengcheng is only 18 years old!"

Lu Wei felt that he had a really good temper. It was true that he was the prince of the Lu Xiao Group, and he had to follow the rules in every action. Etiquette was the most basic behavior, but how could he have no temper.

Will the prince of Lu Xiao Group lose his temper?

Touching his little heart is on fire.

"Chengcheng came out from home and rented a house in Huangcheng Old Street for 500 yuan a month. He rented it for half a year with the little money he had left, because he only had half a year's money. In order to survive, he went to work in a hot pot restaurant and was caught by the hot pot. He was bullied by the employees of the store and was finally fired. But he was never negative, but full of vigor and confidence every day. He looked forward to his own future. He never talked about his difficulties, never expressed his sadness, he saw me He would think of his imaginary mother, and when he was about to start school, he would also think of his father forcing him to study a major he didn't like, but he never complained about the unfairness of life to him."

Lu Wei's hand holding the cup wall knuckles gradually turned white because of anger: "He didn't say he was sick, he didn't say he was sick, and he never said he was eager to paint. Obviously he could ask me for help but he never said it. The heart that desires to paint is thinking that he can regain his chance. But do you know how much his injuries have affected him?"

"His mother died of dystocia. He thought he was color-blind, that his eyes were simply injured by Xia Xingche, and that his anger towards his father and brother was a simple grievance. The lies are the excuses you use to escape, and they are the evidence of all the injuries that have been exposed to Chengcheng bit by bit! You know how he lived when everything was revealed, and you all handled your own affairs so badly. , dealing with it for so many years, how do you let a child who has just grown up deal with it!!"

Lu Wei felt that he was beginning to be rude, but he couldn't control his love for Xia Xingcheng. He was angry that his parents said to Xia Xingcheng: "Why does he like me? Because I cherish him, because I gave him a sense of security, so that he can rely on Reliance can be presumptuous, and I can indulge his emotions. Age is not the barrier between us. I am ten years older than him, which is why he can be willful. I love him because of the optimism he brings to me. Knowing everything makes me feel that I don't love him enough, such a good boy deserves all the love, and deserves my life to love."

"You have to understand that the damage you have caused is irreversible, and it will always be a pain in his heart, but he is very soft-hearted, because you are parents, and you are a fetter that you cannot get rid of until you die, so my shot is To make Chengcheng safe and healthy in the future. If Chengcheng knows that his mother tried to kill him and is still alive in this world, he will go crazy."

Zhou Rui shook her head in panic with tears in her eyes: "Don't say it, please don't say it, it's all my fault, I am willing to accept the punishment, don't tell the two children." She held Xia Shangzhe's hand and choked up and said: " We were all wrong and there is no reason to argue."

Xia Shangzhe is naturally not refuting: "I will admit what I have done, but I am also doing it for Chengcheng's own good. If the age difference is too big, there will be no good results. I am worried——"

"You should still worry about yourself." Lu Wei interrupted him directly, his eyes were cold: "Your failure is your problem, I am different from you."

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but soften again, because he thought of Xia Xingcheng's gentleness.

He and Xia Xingcheng are naturally different, they are each other's salvation, no one else can be like them.

"I want to see Chengcheng." Xia Shangzhe still felt a little disbelieving: "I admit what I did, and I am willing to bear the consequences, but I want to see Chengcheng, and I want to hear him say it with my own ears."

"I won't let it." Lu Wei calmly and calmly refused: "Unless Chengcheng says he misses you, you won't be able to see him. Hope he gets hurt again?"

These words undoubtedly froze Xia Shangzhe's expression. How could his two sons miss him and wish to leave him.

Lu Wei looked at the two people across from him blankly, thinking of his father?He won't let Xia Xingcheng have a chance to think about his father, he can only think about him.

Because he is Chengcheng's parents or all relatives.

Thinking that he can prevent all harm, he is so domineering.

Zhou Rui looked at Lu Wei cautiously: "...you know me right, last time in the art museum..."

"Why did I know about you before? I don't know. I just found out yesterday that you are Chengcheng's mother. No wonder I rejected your plan. So my feeling is correct." Lu Wei didn't show mercy at all. He no longer has patience with these two people: "For Chengcheng, what you have done is that all methods in this life can't make up for the pain. The best way is to be silent, because in Chengcheng's heart, his mother He died a long time ago, since he is dead, don’t resurrect him, this is not a surprise but only torture. So you two, please take care of yourself.”

After he finished speaking, he stood up and nodded to the two to leave. This was his last patience with them.

From now on, he is willing to raise Xia Xingcheng as his own precious child, no matter who dares to say that he is old.

.

This week the hospital has been running a lot, and he feels that now Wei Lu is afraid that he will have problems with his hair, so he protects him tightly.

Moisturized by love, he has long been intoxicated, so it doesn't matter if his hair is just hair.

And this week he also got a better news, that is, next semester they don't need to go underground anymore, because the professor that Lu Wei helped substitute for is coming back! !

He was happy with this news for a long time. Every afternoon after school, he went home with Lu Wei to have fun, completely ignoring Xia Xingche's nagging.

Before you know it, New Year's Day is coming.

Before the holiday, he gave all the paintings he had made during this time to Mr. Fang Zhiqing. He did not neglect his job. He would draw at night when Wei Lu was busy, and at most he would stay up all night.

After finally being able to calm down, it is natural to go all out.

Fang Zhiqing was dumbfounded when he got the paintings in hand. Genius is indeed a genius. Talent is not something that can be acquired with time. Maybe he has been painting for decades, but what he draws without talent is lack of aura Yes, but talented people can recognize the shock that this painting brings to people's hearts at a glance.

The several paintings at hand all have different feelings, the strongest of which is this rebirth from Nirvana.

The red that hits the retina seems to be as hot as the sea of ​​fire in the painting. The woman in the sea of ​​fire is barefoot and wearing a red dress with a calm posture, without the slightest fear in her eyes, and she is thorough and fearsome. The color of the fire was reflected in the pupils, and the firmness in the eyes seemed to be supported by the fire.

The shock that hit people's hearts made Fang Zhiqing unable to recover for a long time. Such a painting was actually made by a child. If it was released, it would cause a great sensation.

Someone once said that the success of a painter is the bankruptcy of 1000 galleries and the failure of countless collectors, but what about a very talented painter?

That will reduce the loss of foaming to zero at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The attributes of today's high-end artworks have become commercialized. It is precisely because the painters at the master level have passed away, and it is difficult to find such influential painters' paintings to lead the market, causing the prices of artworks to be like landmines. After the explosion, the operation of the gallery became difficult.

Those of their level can only enter the mid-end market, which refers to the contemporary art market, but because of the bursting of the mid-end art market’s living celebrity calligraphy and paintings and the bursting of the bubble in the contemporary art market, it has led to the explosion of low-end artworks, directly pulling It's the saddest thing to lower the mid-market and make art a commodity that is no longer so artistically valuable.

Although the energy of a new artist is not strong enough, if the influence spreads, it will be a sensation.

Maddog's influence reached its peak a few years ago. No one knew the true identity or even the age of this painter, and the mysterious blessing undoubtedly set off the trend of impression painting in France at that time.What if it is at home?

There are all the factors that can create momentum, and only one thing is needed, that is, the platform for display is large enough.

"Xingcheng, it's really meaningless for me to use these two words to tell you now, you don't need to be assessed, this is your ability." Fang Zhiqing grabbed Xia Xingcheng's shoulder excitedly, with tears in his eyes: " You are our hope, art really needs young power, especially a power like yours, which will definitely be able to set off stormy waves."

Xia Xingcheng felt Fang Zhiqing's liking, and the joy of being appreciated made him feel full of motivation, and he was about to take the first step.Hearing what Fang Zhiqing said, he suddenly felt that he was one step closer to realizing his dream and becoming stronger.

He happily looked at Wei Lu and wanted to be arrogant, but Wei Lu's face was very dark, as if he had done something wrong.

"Brother Wei?"

Lu Wei looked at the dark circles under Xia Xingcheng's eyes and his slightly haggard face. You must know that pulling this guy to sleep these few nights is like a war. go to sleep.

He said that Xia Xingcheng should not engage in strenuous exercise, but just painting, he would paint until three or four in the morning every night. He started painting after taking a shower, and kept painting for seven or eight hours without moving. Now he sees Hua didn't want to cry anymore, it was only after seeing Xia Xingcheng painting in such a crazy state that he wanted to cry.

This guy still doesn't care about his body. These paintings are undoubtedly made with his life, and he is suddenly very reluctant to show them to Fang Zhiqing. These paintings cannot be sold.

Xia Xingcheng felt the back of his head getting cold, raised his hand to touch the flattering person and smiled at people, but Lu Wei still looked like he couldn't be coaxed no matter how hard he tried, curled his lips in distress, well, he knew where he messed with Lu Wei Not happy anymore.

Fang Zhiqing was still immersed in this painting and couldn't extricate himself: "Look, you can see the theme conveyed by this painting at a glance. Maddog really deserves to be Madgod. Your style is really unique and even unique. You have a strong sense of irony. Come on, I'm sure you will cause an uproar next year's art exhibition, and I will find a way to invite professors from major art academies to take a look! By the way, Lu Wei, I heard that Teacher Qin Li has entered your art gallery to work. Can we invite her to this art exhibition? Let her see Xing Cheng's paintings!"

"I'll arrange it." Seeing Fang Zhiqing intoxicated with the painting, Lu Wei felt a little apprehensive: "But these paintings can't be sold."

Fang Zhiqing held the painting vigilantly: "Why!"

Lu Wei looked at him indifferently: "I have the final say on investment."

Fang Zhiqing: "..." With no money and confidence, he looked at it again with a look of reluctance to give up his love: "It's really a pity that I didn't see Xingcheng painting with my own eyes. You can come to the art room to paint some other day. Draw together."

Lu Wei's eyes darkened again, he closed his eyelids slightly, his eyes concealed an imperceptible taste of food, he turned his head to look at Xia Xingcheng and didn't speak, but silently seemed to be looking for some answer.

"Okay."

After Xia Xingcheng finished speaking, he immediately felt Lu Wei's gaze on him, and the air pressure became very low for no reason.Why are you angry again?

Fang Zhiqing excitedly stepped forward to hold Xia Xingcheng's hand and shook it up and down a few times: "Very well, then we'll make a deal." Then he thought of something and asked: "You still have the old painting in hand, which is your own painting. If possible, I would like to make a big exhibition area for you this time, focusing on your works."

Xia Xingcheng glanced at Wei Lu again, but this time Wei Lu's face was not so dark, he smiled: "Yes, I will take out as much as I want, but now my paintings are all in someone's hands, I have to take them out. He can probably take it out after coaxing it."

Fang Zhiqing understood, in fact, what he said was to Lu Wei, one must know how many maddog paintings Lu Wei bought over the years.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

New Year's Day is open for three days, weekends plus Mondays, and many classes on Friday afternoons have no classes. The campus is full of students who are pulling their suitcases home, except for him of course, because he is preparing for the hospital again.

"Brother Wei, are you angry?" Xia Xingcheng touched Lu Wei's hand flatteringly, who knew that Lu Wei ignored him, looked around and saw no one took Lu Wei's hand domineeringly: "Don't let go! "

Well, he knew why, it must be because he was angry about staying up all night drawing these days.

"Although I'm busy, I still have some time for you. From tonight, I'm not allowed to draw past twelve o'clock. This is my bottom line." Lu Wei felt that holding his hand was a bit cold, and he was sure that there was no one behind him. I put it in my pocket, and said in a very serious tone: "I said that you can draw, but can't you understand it like this? You should pay attention to your body, cherish your body, and don't worry me."

"Painting belongs to Huahua. You are not allowed to skip meals. I will really get angry if you do this."

"Why do I go home no matter how late I am busy every night, because I am afraid that you will not eat, and I am afraid that you will have hypoglycemia. If you fall, I will not be here." Lu Wei thought that this guy would spare no effort to paint a picture. I feel very angry when I don't pay attention to my body after the surgery.

"I don't think I like maddog that much anymore given the way you draw like crazy and don't spare any time off."

Wei Lu talked as long as it took the two of them to walk to the dormitory. After falling in love, he changed from reticent to talkative.

"Then you don't like maddog, don't you just don't like me?"

"I like Xia Xingcheng who doesn't paint."

Xia Xingcheng stepped on the steps and turned around in confusion when he heard these words. He looked down at Wei Lu who was two steps shorter than him: "Why? Don't you like my painting?"

"But when you paint, you only see the painting without me, and you don't even care about yourself." Lu Wei said, with no concealed jealousy, of course he was more worried.

Looking at Lu Wei's appearance, Xia Xingcheng seemed to understand why something was wrong when he woke up today. Was it because he was jealous?Blame yourself for ignoring him?

He couldn't help reaching out and pinching Lu Wei's face with a smile: "So you are jealous, well, I won't do this next time, I promise, this time it's also because of the promise of Mr. Fang's art exhibition, exception exception."

This height is just right, very easy!

Lu Wei glanced at him: "Guarantee?"

Xia Xingcheng raised his hand seriously: "I swear, if I don't go to bed late and ignore Lu Wei in the future, I will be struck by lightning!"

Only then did Wei Lu let him go, looking at this much thinner face: "Eat more today."

"Hey, do you eat spicy food?" Xia Xingcheng took a step forward and put his arms around his neck and asked with a smile.

"This is the school, hurry up and collect your things. I'll drive first. I'll wait for you in the food street. I'll think about it after eating spicy food." Lu Wei pulled his unruly hand and looked left and right. The student suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

This semester is coming to an end, and he may not be able to continue in school next semester. In fact, that's fine, at least he can be more aboveboard when he comes to Xia Xingcheng.

Xia Xingcheng almost forgot that they were an underground party now, he put his hands behind his clothes and put on his hat to cover his face, then turned around and ran into the dormitory building without saying a word.

Lu Wei: "..." No one should be so nervous now.

He smiled dotingly, and his eyes were full of smiles when he saw the short legs running in, but he saw that he turned back after halfway running.

Xia Xingcheng grabbed the collar attached to the hat with his hands, basically revealing the middle of his face. He ran back halfway because he suddenly thought of something.

First, they vigilantly checked the environment from left to right. Since they were the last dormitory building or a double room, they either stayed in the dormitory or had already left, and there was no one around.

He ran back to Captain Lu and kissed him on the lips with the advantage of the height of the steps, and then ran back to the dormitory contentedly.

The whole speed does not exceed 30 seconds.

Lu Wei was stunned for a moment, then laughed after reflecting, reached out and touched his lips, this guy is really...

So cute.

"Tsk."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, Lu Wei frowned and turned around, seeing that it was Jiang Chengyun.

I saw Jiang Chengyun walking behind him with arms folded, with a very unhappy expression on his face: "I heard that you two are together?"

Lu Wei nodded calmly: "Yes."

"I'm surprised, can you two get along with each other with such a big age difference?" Jiang Chengyun stood next to Lu Wei and looked up at the dormitory building in front of him.

"Art connects our hearts, there is no gap." Lu Wei turned his face and looked at Jiang Chengyun with a smile: "If you study sports, you won't understand."

Caught off guard, rounded up and insulted, ignorant of art, simple-minded, well-developed limbs.

Jiang Chengyun smiled fearlessly: "But do you know everything about Xia Xingcheng? Have you seen him when he was a child? Did you see how cute he was in suspenders when he was young? No."

The long-lost desire to win and lose was ignited.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wei said calmly: "But he will grow old with me, that's enough."

Jiang Chengyun: "...I didn't expect you to be so confident. His father is not easy to mess with."

"I'm not easy to mess with." Lu Wei turned his head and looked at him: "So what are you doing here?"

Jiang Chengyun put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and smiled, "I'm here to find Xia Xing—" He deliberately paused, and as expected, he felt the warning gaze of the man beside him, and then laughed, "Che."

Lu Wei pretended to be indifferent and retracted his warning: "Oh, is it?"

"It seems that you want to abduct Xia Xingcheng even on New Year's Day. Be careful that his father comes and beats you up." Jiang Chengyun looked at the door of the dormitory in front of him and couldn't help being speechless, as if he was worried about Lu Wei: "I think I let Xia Xingcheng go I worked part-time in the store, and finally Uncle Xia found my dad, who ordered me not to intervene and cut off our living expenses for two months."

"I have the ability to protect him, you don't have to worry." Lu Wei said lightly: "You should worry about yourself."

Jiang Chengyun shrugged indifferently: "Anyway, I'll give you my advice first."

"Then I have to thank you."

Jiang Chengyun heard the meaning of these words, he raised his hand and patted Lu Wei on the shoulder and sighed: "Brother, I am really worried, because there is too much age difference between you two, I heard that you also Not much younger than Xia Xingcheng's mother."

Wei Lu: "..."

"If Auntie hasn't left now, she should be ten years older than you."

Lu Wei turned his face away, raised his hand to brush Jiang Chengyun's hand away, and said with a half-smile: "I treat Chengcheng like a child, don't you think it's cute? Yes, you can't feel it."

Jiang Chengyun stared faintly into Wei Shang Lu's eyes: "..."

The moment the two looked at each other was like sparks flying.

Just when the two of them were secretly fighting each other, Xia Xingcheng came out of the dormitory building, just in time to see these two people looking at each other affectionately?he is quick

He rushed between the two of them and opened his arms to block Wei Lu.

"Jiang Chengyun, you can't covet my Wei Wei!"

Jiang Chengyun saw Xia Xingcheng rushing out from inside like a calf, folded his arms and clicked his tongue: "Brother, you are not a person who values ​​sex and despises friends."

"No, I am." Xia Xingcheng half-closed his eyes showing a bit of vigilance, stretched his hands behind his head to grab Lu Wei's hand, and felt relieved after touching it: "Don't look at Lu Wei, I will be angry."

Lu Wei smiled and let Xia Xingcheng grab him without saying a word.

Jiang Chengyun rubbed his arms with his hands and got goosebumps all over his body. He looked at Xia Xingcheng in disbelief: "Really, show your affection in front of me? Let's go, I'm going to find Xia Xingche. You two are far away from me." Stay away, I don't want to see you anymore."

After speaking, he walked into the dormitory building to find Xia Xingche.

Xia Xingcheng watched Jiang Chengyun run away as if he had successfully defended?With a smile on the background, he turned around with a smile, and felt a warmth on his lips in the next second, and felt a little embarrassed after seeing Captain Lu's gentle and smiling gaze.

"So possessive?" Lu Wei put a kiss on the man's lips and asked with a smile.

"Well, because you are mine." Xia Xingcheng stood on the steps and looked down at Wei Lu in front of him slightly, with determination in his eyes: "It can only be mine."

Lu Wei put Xia Xingcheng's cool hand into his coat pocket, raised his eyes and smiled, "I'm yours."

No one can let him go, because Xia Xingcheng is his whole world, the only star in the once dark world, and there is only one star so far.

Even if the age difference is ten years old, Xia Xingcheng can act like a baby with him unscrupulously, and he can completely pamper Xia Xingcheng's every behavior.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Pretend to Be Good" is on! ! !Go to the comment to get the red envelope! !I love you~

---

Lu Wei roared and flipped the table: God damn it is 30 years old, I am 28, whoever adds the age to me, I will never end with anyone! ! !

Chengcheng: QAQ You will always be eighteen in my heart.

Lu Wei changed into Brother Wei in seconds: Don't be afraid, baby, I'm not trying to kill you.
