(Twelve)

"Hmm...is this here?"

Looking at the four big characters "Xueyi Floating Corridor" carved on the stone in front of the door, it is exactly the same as that written in the manual, except that it is not a toy workshop, but... a paper craft shop.

The so-called paper tie is a kind of traditional blessing and sacrificial supplies in East Asia.

East Asians believe that the ancestors will live again in the underworld, so after the ancestors pass away, they will burn paper money and some daily necessities to them, so that the ancestors can live a good life in the underworld.

In ancient times, most of them burned some golden boys and girls as servants, and at most they built some houses and cars so that they could have a house to live in and a car to take when they went out.In modern times, besides the necessities of life, there are many luxuries, such as [-]C products, luxury houses, cars, beauties, etc. Although these are funeral gifts, modern people are very particular about them. The gifts they make are like miniature houses, with exquisite craftsmanship. It's amazing.

Just like the house he sees now, it is a luxurious villa on the third floor, with all the furniture inside, a double garage attached, a Rolls Royce and a Ferrari, as well as a swimming pool, tennis court and basketball court. The area behind the mountain should be Golf courses, not to mention servants and housekeepers, there are roughly a dozen of them...

"If only the real world could have such a good life..." Wu Yi stared intently and couldn't help admiring.

"If you want, I can help you build a building at any time, without money." The young man responded without raising his head.

"...Thank you." He stared sideways and rolled his eyes angrily.

"You're welcome."

The person in front of the workbench didn't have the will to get up and greet him, he was busy on his own, so Wuyi had to be self-reliant and find things to pass the time by himself.

Looking around, there are several high-end villas and luxury yachts piled up in the house, and there are pretty maids and handsome deacons in the corners of the walls, and a few cats and dogs are sitting or standing at the feet, completely occupying the floor. The space can be set up as a reception desk, and the only chair is being occupied by young people, so they have to continue standing.

After a while, the young man raised his head, but there was no sign of the person coming. He stood up and looked suspiciously. In the corner not far away, he found a person who was squatting and studying the paper Zha Corgi dog, who seemed to be very interested.

"Take home if you like it." Anyway, it doesn't take much time to make one.

"Uh, I prefer to live." Although I know the other party has no malicious intentions, it still sounds weird. If I really put one in front of the door, the neighbor next door will come to protest again.

"Um."

The young man responded, and seeing the man standing still, as if he didn't know what to do, he remembered the current situation of the studio, then turned around and tidied up the pile of scattered papers behind him, revealing a single bed.

"Here." He patted the bed, indicating that he could sit down.

"thanks."

Wuyi slowly walked to the side of the bed and sat down, leaning on his chin and staring at the front, the young man still had no time to talk to him, he was busy with his work, as if his existence just added a moving figure in the room I.

"Excuse me." He hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but speak.

"Say."

"Aren't you wondering why I came here?"

"No." Anyone who walks by will leave traces, not to mention that he gave a lot of hints, but the person himself didn't take it to heart, and now he figured out the answer, it's just a coincidence.

The man in the back was silent when he heard the words, probably a little reconciled and unhappy, and the young man didn't care. According to his long-term observation, as long as it's not a big deal, the anger will automatically subside in about a moment and return to its original appearance, so let it go It doesn't matter, at most it will be enough to make up for it afterwards.

However, it is rare for the other party to come to the door, and they still come "unwell", and it is unreasonable not to care about it.

"Feel good?"

"...I'm fine, thank you." A red cloud flashed across his cheeks, and he quickly returned to his original state. He pouted and laughed at himself in a low voice: "Is my physical strength considered my strength?"

For some reason, from childhood to adulthood, even if he was extremely uncomfortable or injured, his body could recover in a short time. Even if his face was pale as if he was about to pass out, he could still stand up straight and continue to do things, so he was able to take care of him while working. Namely deer.

"That's good. Put the tea and snacks over there, take it yourself." It was so intense last night, I thought I would sleep all day, it seems that I underestimated.

"Oh." Wuyi nodded, poured a glass of water for himself, and poured a glass for him by the way, and picked up senbei as a snack.

Isn't there an advertisement saying "A serious woman is the most beautiful"?In his opinion, a serious man is also the most handsome. Although the young man is not a big boss in a shopping mall, nor is he a powerful political figure, he just sits in front of the workbench and stares at a pile of paper and bamboo sticks, wholeheartedly inheriting the ancient tradition. A young paper-making master with innovative craftsmanship and research and development, but his expression and momentum when he is serious is not lost to anyone at all.

What's more, this man is still his favorite person.

But no matter how charming this guy is, the things that should be solved still have to be solved, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

"Why aren't you surprised that I came here?" He asked again without giving up, and handed over half a piece of senbei, trying to use the afternoon tea time as an excuse to let the man stop work and talk to him.

"You've come here, what else do I have to say?" Kala Kala bit a biscuit and answered vaguely. "Isn't it just that I found out that this store is opened by me?"

"Why didn't you say it before?" Isn't it a bad job, is it so hard to say?

"You didn't ask." He said it with confidence.

From the first day he lived in his house, that person pestered him, asked him for a long time, and did a half-day net worth investigation, all he asked was his name, where he lived, his age, where he met before Wait for the question, at the time half was angry that he didn't remember himself at all, and half was to tease him, so he deliberately didn't say anything. Later, the man probably felt that it was unnecessary, so he stopped pestering him with questions.After a long time, I missed the time to introduce myself, and I was too lazy to speak up, so I just put it on hold until today.

"... Is it my fault?" Wuyi stared, angrily.

"I didn't say that." He avoided looking at him by holding a cup of tea and drinking tea, and pushed the question back. "I'm just wondering, when will you remember, who am I?"

Every time the topic came around to this, Wuyi always felt guilty, and really couldn't remember when and where he met the young man, let alone how he met him.When he found an opportunity and wanted to ask directly, all he needed was the young man's suspiciously hurt eyes, as if to remind him that he was wrong, and he could only swallow the question silently, and slowly figured out the answer by himself. .Thinking about it now, it was simply a certain Dalmatian playing tricks on him, preventing him from getting the answer so easily.

Wuyi hummed a few times to show his dissatisfaction, but he did not lose interest, and generously shared his "problem solving" experience.

"Actually, on the way here, I haven't connected you with the "skillful classmate who gives gifts every year". I just came to visit with curiosity and gratitude, but I don't want to kill two birds with one stone."

"Are you surprised?"

"It would be a lie to say it wasn't an accident, but in retrospect, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept."

It was a bit displeased at the beginning, but as the conversation settled down and my thoughts were sorted out, I felt a little bit of a smile and a lot of fun.

"You send gifts every year, all of which are small items that I just need, just want, and the deer is playing the drums, even if I have doubts, I will not refuse. After a few years, I got used to it. In this way, I no longer pursue the reason, but just accept the gift silently, and add a love and gratitude to the other party in my heart... You said, if it weren't for "seeking something", who would be so attentive and spend a lot of time to find out the needs , send a gift to your heart?"

"It's fine if you like it." Dalmatian smiled, neither refuted nor admitted, and motioned him to continue.

"Although this year's gift is ingenious, according to my habit, even if I think the jewelry design is excellent, I will not take the initiative to wear it on my body. In other words, this gift is something that I don't need. Every year, I try my best to find out about me. How can a person who doesn’t have the preferences and needs of human beings make such a mistake?”

The young man was silent for a while, and said: "What if this ring was not given by 'that person', but I 'coincidentally' ordered it from 'him', and then gave it to you as a Valentine's Day gift?"

"I have thought about this situation too, but if you are not 'him' himself and say you bought the ring, then..." put down the water glass, and stretched forward. "Where is the gift he gave this year?"

"Well..."

Glancing at the shaking hand, he raised his hand and slapped it on the palm with a "snap". Unexpectedly, he couldn't retreat without clothes and pain, and held on to the "murderer", which seemed to mean "don't let go until you explain it".

The young man had no choice but to be forced to rest. He left his seat and turned to sit by the bed, with his arms around his waist and his head resting on his shoulders and neck, smelling the faint fragrance.

"Don't make trouble, you haven't answered me yet." The person who pushed and raged on the shoulder and neck urged dissatisfiedly.

"Hmm... busy this year, forgot to deliver?"

"For ordinary people, they may forget because they are busy. But for a person who insists on delivering gifts every Tanabata every year for many years, no matter which country he is in, I don't think he will forget just because he is "busy". "

"I didn't expect you to pay attention." A trace of surprise flashed across the red pupils, but more warmth.

"A mysterious sender, a beautiful gift, it's hard not to pay attention to the source and take a closer look." What he didn't say is that after opening the gift every year, he will carefully remove the mailing slip from the package, Save it, imagine where that person has been this year, and what inspiration he got, so he made such a work as a gift.

Thinking about it now, that person had already settled in his heart when he accepted the first gift that year.

"Any more?"

"and this."

Taking out the note he left in the morning from his pocket, the young man glanced at it, puzzled.

"The material of this paper is the same as the card you send every year." Kindly reminded.

"so what?"

"This piece of paper looks no different from ordinary tissue paper, but when you touch it with your hands, you can feel that the texture on it is very special. When you take it to the sun and see it, when the light passes through the paper, the light spots reflected are like snowflakes. Very special, I was very impressed.

I purposely found all the cards, and the short notes with blessings in each card were made of this material, so it can be seen that this is a special kind of paper, not an ordinary product sold in the market.So, I asked someone to investigate the paper factory, only to find out that this paper pattern was developed by a certain company alone, and the paper product was specially designed by someone. Except for this company, other people could not get it through any channels. "

"Then?"

"While waiting for the investigation, I went for a walk on the river embankment and accidentally picked up a kite. I found that the kite was made of the same material. The manufacturer's name on the manual was exactly the same as the company name that the paper factory told me."

"so?"

"So, you are Jilu's "skillful classmate who gives gifts every year", and you are also the young owner of the number one brand in the life etiquette industry "Jijing Fulang"——Chu Wushang."

No matter how much you are afraid of taboos, there will always be a day when you encounter a funeral. The person in charge of "Silent Well Floating Gallery" has a quick mind, knowing that ordinary people both reject this industry but also need it, so they spent their minds on a major transformation.

In the early years, <Jijing Floating Gallery> was just a small shop, mainly selling ceremonial items, such as coffins, urns, incense candles, paper money, flower baskets, canned food towers, paper-made supplies, etc., as long as you name it, <Jijing Well Floating Gallery> can do it for customers.

Later, the number of customers increased and the network of contacts gradually expanded, so some people were recruited and transformed into a funeral agency.The content is rich and varied. In addition to selling related products, it also provides pre-living contracts and complete ceremonial services-from the moment the deceased passes away, "Silent Well Floating Gallery" will send special personnel to the house to hold a ceremony for them according to the signed contract. The funeral ceremony allows the family members to assist in various affairs when they are sad and unable to cover everything, and send the deceased to the final journey smoothly, saving the family a lot of time and energy.

Following the trend of the times, "Jijing Fulang Funeral Service" was renamed "Jijing Fulang Life Etiquette Co., Ltd.", and the personnel in charge of reception and handling affairs were renamed "Etiquette Masters". "Earth Doll" is also called "Embracing Teacher". It sounds so elegant and elegant, and an exclusive business card is made for each employee, which makes customers feel very professional when introducing themselves.

In recent years, we have introduced the management method of enterprise business number, and designed a set of BPMS suitable for the funeral industry, so that customers can understand the process more clearly, and use computers for business processing. For example, enter the date of birth, and you can immediately find the best time , and which orientation is suitable for burial.

At first, the client didn’t trust the computer to choose the date, so he invited a Feng Shui teacher to watch the date selection, and finally found that the two said exactly the same. The client was pleasantly surprised, and naturally "reported it with good food" for "Jijing Floating Gallery" Advertise for free, let its business flourish, and the company is getting bigger and bigger.

As Shaodong in "Silent Well Floating Gallery", he would occasionally be sent to the scene to support him when he was short of manpower. This is why Wu Wushang often smelled of wormwood and incense, and had white bags and ghost papers in his pockets. .

<Snow Ripples Gallery> is a newly established subsidiary this year. It claims to provide more exquisite paper crafts, so it is specially independent from <Silence Well Gallery>, specializing in paper art and bamboo weaving products—in fact It was just because a certain person didn't want to stay in his hometown and was attacked by his parents, who urged him to get married and have children from time to time, which triggered a family revolution. He ran away from home and opened a studio.

It's not that his parents never threatened to cut off contact with him, and they even used their business relationship to jointly block "Xueyi Floating Gallery", so that "Xueyi Floating Gallery" can't get along in the industry, and then the unscrupulous son will go home and admit his mistakes obediently.Unexpectedly, his grandfather only passed on this skill to him back then. He is innocent and talented. No one in the industry can make better paper products than him. Customers would also specifically request the product of "Xueyi Floating Gallery". Don't want the rest, the relevant industry players couldn't stand it, and they turned around and signed contracts with them.

In recent years, young people who are not afraid of taboos like to collect. They drew design drawings and asked him to make them. They took pictures and posted them on the Internet.

After his father heard the news, even if he was half-dead from anger, he had no choice but to put aside his personal grievances first, put down his attitude and cooperate with <Snow Yi Floating Corridor>, and continue to run the business together.

Chu Wushang and Ji Lu are classmates in middle school. They sat at the same table with Ji Lu from the beginning of their junior high school until they parted ways, and they never changed their tablemates. Naturally, their relationship is better than that of other classmates—of course, it is only limited to the friendship of classmates.

During a period of time, due to the unstable family situation, Wu Yi and Ji Lu had no choice but to choose to rent a house near a funeral street in the urban area.

The so-called "funeral street" means that the entire street is full of shops selling products related to the funeral industry, as well as related industries such as certain pre-death contract companies, palace temples, and electronic float variety shows.Of course, the housing prices in the nearby streets are so low, as long as you don’t shy away from these things, it’s actually a good place to save money and be comfortable—for example, you don’t need to turn on the air conditioner in summer and you will feel very cold.

At that time, Wuyi was busy studying at the research institute and writing a thesis, so he didn’t have much free time to take care of Ji Lu. As long as Ji Lu came home obediently every day and his grades were not too bad, he turned a blind eye to the rest and let him graze his cattle. .When Lu saw that his elder brother had to study all day long and had to work part-time to support the family, it was really hard, so he secretly asked Chu Wushang for an errand, hoping to help subsidize the family.

Seeing that he has been at the same table for many years and "asked for something", Wu Wushang naturally agreed, but he couldn't learn a job that was too professional, so he finally arranged to work in a variety show troupe run by his relatives, doing cleaning Simple tasks such as shop fronts, cleaning float equipment, etc.

That is, the deer is cute and can talk, and soon won the love of the uncles and aunts. From time to time, she secretly taught her some running "eyebrows" and "acting skills". When the variety show troupe came out, they found that they were short of manpower, so they asked Ji Lu to help out. Unexpectedly, Ji Lu did it very well and won unanimous praise from the uncles and aunts. Therefore, when the variety show troupe went out to do business, they would never forget to bring Ji Lu with them. , Ji Lu also earned a lot of extra money because of this. He secretly put the bamboo piggy bank in the living room where the siblings saved together, and shared it with his brother after the deposit was full.

Wu Yi is very busy. Although he has some doubts about the speed of the piggy bank getting full, he just thinks that Ji Lu works hard and the store pays him more.

This job lasted until the first semester of the third year of high school. The winter of that year was very cold. Many older people could not bear the severe cold, and they were called by the Lord to go to the Western Pure Land.

One day, Wuyi and his classmates went to participate in the farewell ceremony of an old professor in the department. After offering incense and fruit, and paying tribute to the family, he was about to drive away.Before leaving, Wuyi was accidentally bumped by a naughty child, and the tea in his hand splashed all over him, so he borrowed the bathroom to tidy up his appearance.

Walking to the corridor, I saw two figures from a distance. The girl was wearing white mourning clothes and linen gauze. She was drinking tea and whispering to the male etiquette master at the same time. generally.

Originally, it was nothing, just say "excuse me" and walk by, but when Wu Yi got closer and the figure became clearer and clearer, I found that "filial daughter Bai Qin" looked very familiar - no Is it the younger sister who lives with him every day?

I don't know whether it was because Yu Jilu was shocked to engage in this kind of "disgraceful" and "relying on his father and mother" job without telling him, which made him lose face, or he blamed her for not studying in high school and secretly having a boyfriend, or some other unknown The reason... In short, it was rare for Wuyi to lose his temper that day, and it was not easy to explode immediately, so he put on a cold face, pressed his lips tightly, took off the hemp gauze from the deer's head and threw it to the stunned male etiquette teacher, pulling That is, the deer immediately return home.

After that, no matter whether the lease contract expired or not, Wuyi immediately found another house to move out, completely disregarding Jilu's wishes, and even transferred schools.At this point, the friendship between Lu and Chu Wushang at the same table is over, and they are divided into east and west.

Although Ji Lu wanted to protest and explain, but saw that his gentle and good-tempered brother exploded like a volcano. Although he didn't scold her at all after returning home, he just locked himself in the room without eating or drinking. Being scolded was still sad, so he had no choice but to swallow his complaints, apologize to his brother, and promised that he would never do it again, so Wuyi was relieved.

Now that all the mysteries are revealed, looking back at those years, the male etiquette teacher who was hiding at the end of the corridor chatting with Ji Lu at the professor's farewell ceremony seemed to be the Dalmatian next to him...

"Should I be happy that you finally found out, or sad that you completely forgot what I look like?" the young man complained dissatisfied.

"Hey, it's not right to say that." Wuyi said confidently: "At that time, I was all on Jilu, and I was only taking her home. I don't care who is standing next to me."

"If that time is not counted, I have also been to your house."

"Have you? When?" Hearing this, he was surprised, but he had no memory at all.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival in the sophomore year of high school, the deer invited me to barbecue, remember?"

"Mid-Autumn Festival barbecue...?"

In the mid-autumn festival of that year, he had just broken up with him not long ago, and he felt depressed. In order to change his mood, Ji Lu invited some people to his home to play during the festival. Apart from his buddies Fengxiu and Fu Ying, there were also a few classmates, maybe Damai. Machi was among those people... right?

"I have no impression." Seeing the young man glaring at him, Wuyi quickly explained: "I was in a bad mood at the time, and I didn't think about it, so I don't remember what happened that day. But your clothes are so conspicuous, if I have seen , will definitely remember, but I have no memory, which means you..."

"...I'm wearing a uniform." Rolling his eyes, he was a little speechless.

"That's to say, no wonder I can't recognize it, hahaha..."

"Humph."

Wuyi smiled awkwardly, suddenly became agitated, and said in surprise: "Wait, so you are younger than me?"

"Do you mind?" He raised his eyebrows and looked away, as if he was dissatisfied and refused to return the product.

"Uh……"

Originally, it was just Fengxiu's joke for a while, but he didn't know that the little wolf dog beside him was actually a real little wolf dog. Thinking of Fengxiu's face after knowing the truth... Well, it's better to go straight to silence, or immigrate to foreign countries like Jilu up?

"If you feel tired, it doesn't matter if you don't want to move, I can do it myself."

"Don't underestimate me, anyway, I have also practiced martial arts for several years, and my physical strength is not so bad." He stared sideways, dissatisfied with the other party's underestimation.

"That's good."

After solving the "mystery of life experience" in Dalmatian, all the troubles were swept away, and Wuyi was very satisfied. He planned to go home and cook a good meal, bring a lunch box to visit the class to accompany him to work, and go home to rest together after work is finished. but……

"... Excuse me." The hand that slipped into the shirt uneasy, narrowed his eyes and stared. "What do you want to do in broad daylight?"

"Sunbathing." Unable to pull back, she just lay down on the side with her arms around her, skillfully bit off the button, pulled it, and Snowflake's flesh appeared in front of her eyes.

"Master Shu, let me remind you, you are still working, isn't that what you have to submit today?" The whiteboard on the wall is densely written, circled and circled with a red pen, and marked with five stars... Dare to love Is it a good painting?

"I won't die if I earn a fortune, not to mention that even if this store goes bankrupt, you will still support me." While working or something, have you never heard of "eat the emperor's big"?

"Hey!" Do you really think you are a little wolf dog?

Wuyi rewarded a chestnut dumbfounded, but he didn't stop him anymore, he put his arms around the young man's neck, pulling him closer and tighter.

"I've been waiting for you for more than ten years, so I should charge some interest."

"Then you have kept me a secret for so long, how can you make it up to me?"

"you deserve it."

"Da, Mai, Ding!" It's too much, he has been worrying about him a lot these days, how could he say that about him?

"Stop calling me Dalmatian, it's annoying to hear."

"Huh, it's obviously a Dalmatian, ah!" Look, whoever is biting him like a dog now is unknown.

"Call me by name."

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

"Wait." Ignoring the refusal, he sped up his movements and ignited the fire, coaxing softly in his ear. "Call me by name."

"Wait a moment……"

"Wuyi..." Kissing the pink earballs softly, urging softly. "Call me by name."

"Big... no harm!"

It was screaming, but the voice was not gentle at all, and it was a bit deliberate.

The atmosphere was interrupted, even the docile Dalmatian couldn't help but get angry.

"What's the matter." He stared viciously, there had better be a legitimate reason, otherwise...

"You forgot to close the door."

"..."

"I am kind."

"..."

How could he forget that this person is always smart and capable, but always short-circuits at "critical moments" to spoil the scenery.

In desperation, Chu Wushang could only keep a cold face, quickly got out of bed, closed the door and locked it, and even closed the curtains thoughtfully to prevent the spring from leaking out.When he returned to the bed, the man smiled at him with satisfaction, heartless and heartless, making people wish he would be executed immediately on the spot to vent his hatred.

"Hey, Su Wushang..."

Forget it, as long as he is happy, anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, and he will "return it double" later.
