Porcelain to Porcelain

Ju Gui had an early break at night. After dinner, everyone drank a cup of tea and got up to leave.

Xie Pu, Wang Gui, and Feng Hao drove away respectively, and only Lu Qiu and Zhou Hongxun were left at the door of the residence.

The car key in Zhou Hongxun's hand turned towards the car on the side of the road, then put it down suddenly, then turned to face Lu Qiu: "Is the hotel you live far from here?"

"It's not far, no need to send it off. I'll be there in 10 minutes after walking. I just finished dinner and I happened to take a walk to digest food." Lu Qiu thought that Zhou Hongxun wanted to drive him for a while.

"Then I'll take a walk too." Zhou Hongxun put the car keys into his trouser pocket. "Let's go."

"Oh." Lu Qiu froze for a moment before leading the way.He went to the hotel for a walk, and Zhou Hongxun had to come back to pick up the car after the walk, wouldn't it be troublesome?

Zhou Hongxun did not follow behind, but took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Qiu.

After Lu Qiu came to this world, he was tall. Among the friends he made, only Zhou Hongxun was taller than him.Zhou Hongxun is 185 centimeters tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. He is wearing a black cashmere coat. He inadvertently exudes a high-ranking atmosphere formed by giving orders when he walks.Walking beside such a person, Lu Qiu was very stressed.

For several minutes, the two walked side by side on the sidewalk without making a sound.

The sycamore trees on both sides of the street were planted by the colonists in the last century. Now, the trees on both sides are so big that their branches touch and hug each other.The street lights shine on the road through the branches, like a mottled abstract painting.

"It's very quiet here." Zhou Hongxun broke the silence.

"Well, yes, a rare quiet place in a metropolis." Lu Qiu looked up at the branches that hadn't sprouted yet, feeling a bit like he was in the period of the Republic of China.

Most of the houses here are two or three-story old residences. Either the number of households is small, or after the implementation of the policy, it sends a signal of goodwill to attract foreign investment. After the government cleans it up, it returns to the original owners. Most of these household owners are overseas Chinese.The heads of overseas Chinese households rarely live here for a long time, and the houses are either rented out or vacant. Therefore, there are relatively few people and vehicles on the surrounding streets.

Zhou Hongxun pointed forward with his right hand: "There is a coffee shop in front, let's go in and have a seat."

"Aren't you going for a walk?" Lu Qiu felt strange again.He is not a kid who has just stepped into society. In social interactions, no matter whether the other party is friendly or malicious, as long as it exceeds the normal level, he will analyze it and judge the purpose of the other party's actions.Now, Zhou Hongxun gave Lu Qiu a feeling of being entangled and not wanting to leave.

Zhou Hongxun turned his gaze around Lu Qiu's face: "I want to tell you about Feng Hao and Ju Gui."

"Teacher Feng and Mister?"

"Well, in front of the two of them, some topics should be avoided."

"There are... taboos between them?" During a dinner, Feng Hao was a little too targeted at Lu Qiu, which made Lu Qiu very puzzled.As a critic, Farewell My Concubine expressed hatred for the author before reading it, and his words and deeds did not match his status.

"Well, Mr. Feng is your personal director. Mr. Feng is the art director of the crew. You will spend a long time with them. It is best to understand some things so as not to cause any disputes during the filming." Solemnly.

"Brother Zhou, thank you." Lu Qiu's face became hot, thinking wildly about himself just now.In order to make the investment go smoothly, people always think of the other party as a big bad wolf.

Zhou Hongxun smiled: "Among friends, say something polite."

Lu Qiu was even more embarrassed. Zhou Hongxun was his friend, but he didn't treat him sincerely.Being too defensive is a disease that needs to be cured!

The coffee shop is divided into two floors, upstairs and downstairs. The space is not too big, and it feels very quiet. It is a good place to talk.

There were a lot of customers downstairs, so the two went up to the second floor and found a seat at the corner window.After the waiter brought the coffee, Zhou Hongxun began to tell the past of Ju Gui and Feng Hao.

Zhou Hongxun only knew about Feng Hao and Ju Gui's past a week earlier than Lu Qiu.Zhou Hongxun's focus was only on economics and politics. In order to ask Ju Gui to guide Lu Qiu, Zhou Hongxun found someone to investigate Ju Gui.

The matter of Ju Gui and Feng Hao is not a secret in the opera world, and if it goes out of scope, no one knows about it.

Ju Gui is 11 years older than Feng Hao, and she and Feng Hao's mother are sisters of the same school.Senior Sister Feng is the oldest senior in the sect, and Ju Gui is the youngest.

When Ju Gui entered the school, the master was old and lacked energy, so he hardly taught the disciples himself, and basically let the elder disciples guide the younger disciples.It can be said that the senior sister is called Senior Sister, but she is actually Ju Gui's master.

The relationship between Ju Gui and the senior sister is very good. After the liberation, the senior sisters often performed on the same stage. A Beijing opera about sisterhood in the old society was also made into a movie. The film received rave reviews in China and was released in Southeast Asia. Therefore, he often traveled abroad with the Prime Minister, and was received by the top leaders twice.

The great honor on the head of the teachers and sisters, if there is no catastrophe, it will keep the two of them worry-free for the rest of their lives.But there is still that turmoil in the continent of this world, but the turmoil is not ten years, but eight years.

During the turbulent years, the senior sisters were knocked down one after another and went out to criticize them. In order to protect the junior sisters, the senior sisters in their 30s lost their lives. The next day, the senior sister-in-law who was also criticized could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide by jumping off the water tower of the unit.At that time, Ju Gui was only 23 years old, and Feng Hao, the only son of the senior sister, was 12 years old.

Originally, Ju Gui could not escape death, but the Prime Minister intervened in person, instructing the relevant departments to snatch Ju Gui from the young generals, and sent Ju Gui to a farm with better conditions for reform, on the grounds that the feudal remnants of ideology must be reformed. .

It's funny how, in those days, some prisons and reformed farms were safe places.Soon after Ju Gui entered the farm, at her request, Feng Hao, who was wandering on the street, was also found and brought over.

In the next few years, Ju Gui and Feng Hao lived together on the farm. Ju Gui regarded Feng Hao as his lifeblood and devoted all his affection and effort to him.And Feng Hao, from the initial family affection to attachment, gave birth to the feeling of no matter what.After the catastrophe ended, Feng Hao made a confession to Ju Gui.

Given the domestic conditions, the feeling that the woman is 11 years older than the man is not tolerated in the world, not to mention that Ju Gui and Feng Hao are still nephews.In addition, the senior sister sacrificed to protect Ju Gui, how could Ju Gui accept Feng Hao's feelings.Ju Gui only treats Feng's puberty as impulsive, separates and does not touch, and Feng's will return to normal.

After Shang Hai's old residence was returned, Ju Gui drove Feng Hao into the Opera University. From then on, he never met if he could not meet.

Feng Hao has a stubborn personality, and any rejection by Ju Gui will not be able to dispel his love for Ju Gui.Ju Gui was not married, and Feng Hao had no friends, so they were half a city away, silently guarding and waiting.

Ju Gui's hair turned gray when she was in her 30s. If she dyed it black, she would definitely be younger than her actual age. However, in order to make Feng Hao aware of the age gap between the two, Ju Gui did not dye her hair.Today, Ju Gui, who is pretending to be old, and Feng Hao, who is nearly fifty years old and still handsome, have a bigger difference in age in appearance.

"From now on, Teacher Feng is here, you'd better keep a distance from your husband." Zhou Hongxun advised.

"But, Mr. Feng is 40 years older than me, and Mr. Feng is still so defensive?" Lu Qiu's hair was black.Ju Gui has cared about it for 11 years, and I don't know which light year he has cared about for 40 years.

At dinner, facing Feng Hao's criticism, Lu Qiu thought that Feng Hao was jealous because Ju Gui's attention was distracted by him. After all, Ju Gui never took the initiative to accept apprentices after his redress. In the real sense, there is no name of master and apprentice. Feng Hao is Ju Gui's last disciple.Hearing what Zhou Hongxun said now, Lu Qiu knew what kind of jealousy Feng Hao was eating.

The corner of Zhou Hongxun's mouth twitched: "Feng Hao, sir, he is crazy."

All the men who stay by Ju Gui's side are thorns in Feng Hao's eyes.

Lu Qiu gasped, the two of them had been so wasted all their lives, and thinking about it made them panic.

Lovers are most afraid of missing love

Long lovesick but not long love

These two lines of lyrics seemed to be specially written for the two of them. No wonder Feng Hao was so sad after reading it lightly.

The music floating in the coffee shop was obviously melodious and soothing, but Lu Qiu heard a kind of desolation in his ears.Knowing the hopeless love, but obstinately guarding and waiting, Feng Hao is simply another Cheng Dieyi.Lu Qiu thought that Ju Gui must also have feelings for Feng Hao. If there was no love, the book Farewell My Concubine would not make her so distraught.

Lu Qiu was fascinated by the window, and Zhou Hongxun was fascinated by Lu Qiu.He didn't want to be Cheng Dieyi, nor Feng Hao. After 30 years of hard work, Zhou Hongxun couldn't control himself the more he got along with Lu Qiu.

"What do you think of Mr. Feng and Teacher Feng?"

Zhou Hongxun interrupted Lu Qiuyou's thoughts.

"The tragedy of the times." Lu Qiu shrugged. "Actually, if they don't mind outside public opinion, the tragedy can become a complete success."

In Zhou Hongxun's eyes, apart from surprise, there was also flames beating: "You mean that as long as you have feelings, you don't need to mind other things?"

"As long as it doesn't hurt other people, the relationship is basically a matter between two people. We live our lives behind closed doors and don't care what others think." Lu Qiu snorted coldly, "That is to say, the husband is 11 years older than Mr. Feng. If we want to switch, where is it?" And the pressure."

The world is always unfair to women. It is normal for a man to marry a girl who is more than ten years younger. Otherwise, it is big news in society.

"Brother Qiu, you are quite... open-minded." The flames in Zhou Hongxun's eyes became brighter. "What kind of partner will you find in the future?"

"I'm still young, so I don't think about these things." Lu Qiu didn't notice that Zhou Hongxun was talking about a partner, not a girlfriend.

Zhou Hongxun lowered his head and took a sip of his coffee, and asked in a nonchalant tone, "There must be... some thoughts, such as the other party's appearance, age, education, family conditions and so on."

Lu Qiu thought for a while: "It's almost enough." The appearance of this life is better than that of the previous life, and it seems that the economic conditions are also better than the previous life. With such superior conditions, Bai Fumei seems to be able to choose at will?

"What if you accidentally get into a situation like Mr. Feng and Mr. Feng?" Zhou Hongxun said in a joking tone, but he was actually very nervous. "I mean, a relationship that needs to face the pressure of public opinion. There are many kinds of that kind of relationship, apart from the age difference, there is also... same-sex love."

Zhou Hongxun almost held his breath listening to Lu Qiu's answer.

Homosexuality?How can it be?Lu Qiu smiled in his heart, but said on his mouth: "Follow fate, there is no way to fall in love."

As he spoke, Lu Qiu took a sip of coffee.

Those who have stayed abroad are open-minded. Zhou Hongxun's question did not remind Lu Qiu of his sexuality.In the previous life, the homosexual interviewees that Lu Qiu came into contact with made Lu Qiu more or less feel different from ordinary people's eyes and behavior. Lu Qiu called it a homosexual atmosphere.

Zhou Hongxun didn't have this kind of aura on him, he was just a little too gentlemanly.

Zhou Hongxun's heart was pounding, and Lu Qiu was so open-minded, could he accept his feelings after a deep friendship?

"No matter what kind of feeling you have, you will accept it?"

"In theory." Lu Qiu sighed: "In life, the social environment has to be considered. Some feelings, it is best to avoid them."

How painful it is to be like Ju Gui and Feng Hao!Lu Qiu didn't want to live so aggrieved.

Zhou Hongxun's heart suddenly became heavy, and he was agitated for a few seconds before his high mood was dampened by Lu Qiu's words.

The author has something to say: Changing the theme song of Farewell My Concubine is necessary for the plot, not the author's own preference.In order to find songs that are close to the feelings of Ju Gui and Feng Hao, I listened to songs all night.
