Retreat

He Yu locked himself in the room.

The woman was sitting in the living room on the phone, and he could faintly hear it, guessing that she was calling Fu Chenshan.

Fu Chenshan never mentioned to He Yu that he had a girlfriend, and even when He Yu lived in this house, he didn't realize that there were traces of other women's lives here.

If it was He Yu three years ago, knowing that Fu Chenshan had a girlfriend, he would probably be heartbroken and hopeless, but now, he doesn't have much emotional fluctuations.Of course, he was not so happy for Fu Chenshan.

He Yu lay on his back on the bed, and after a while he heard the sound of the woman's high-heeled shoes stepping on the floor, and then the door next door opened and then closed again.She should have entered Fu Chenshan's room.

He Yu looked at the chandelier on the ceiling. It was a white lily-shaped ceiling lamp, with a simple and elegant design, which was very close to the decoration style of Fu Chenshan's entire house.He yawned, perhaps because he didn't sleep well last night, sleepiness slowly hit him, and He Yu closed his eyes.

It was a surprisingly sound sleep.

When He Yu woke up, he suddenly found that there was another person in the room.Fu Chenshan was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching him quietly.

He Yu rubbed his eyes, "When did you come back? Why didn't you call me?"

Fu Chenshan smiled slightly and said, "Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I can't bear to wake you up."

When He Yu wanted to sit up, he realized that he had been covered with a quilt at some point, and Fu Chenshan reached out to help him straighten his messy collar.

He Yu smiled and buttoned his collar, and said, "Don't be so nice to me, I'll think you're in love with me."

Fu Chenshan shook his head with a smile.

He Yu turned over and got out of bed, and heard Fu Chenshan say: "Go wash your face, let's go out to eat."

"Oh," He Yu looked up at him, "Your girlfriend is back."

Fu Chenshan's expression was slightly stiff, but he still smiled, "Yes, come out and I'll introduce you."

He said he was introducing them, but in fact he only introduced He Yu unilaterally, "This is my girlfriend, Ling Zhilu." Then he said to Ling Zhilu, "He Yu, I told you."

He Yu smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello."

Ling Zhilu looked at He Yu, slowly extended her hand to shake him, and said, "Are you the one who was sentenced for illegally embezzling our company's funds three years ago?"

"Zhilu!" Fu Chenshan frowned, his voice became cold, and he pulled the woman to his side.

The smile on He Yu's face remained unchanged, and he said, "It's me. It turned out to be Miss Ling, no wonder the name sounds familiar."

When he first joined the company after graduating from university, He Yu once heard people say that the big boss above had an only daughter who was the jewel in the palm of the Ling family and the sole heir of Ling Yun.At that time, several young people joked that whoever can marry the daughter of the big boss will make a lot of money.Unexpectedly, such a good thing was earned by Fu Chenshan today.

Ling Zhilu was very dissatisfied with Fu Chenshan yelling at her loudly, so she raised her hand and waved Fu Chenshan away, "I'm not wrong!"

Fu Chenshan tightly grasped Ling Zhilu's arm again, and pulled her into his arms, "Don't talk about it, Xiao Yu is a good friend I grew up with."

Ling Zhilu is obviously a spoiled young lady, she struggled to get Fu Chenshan to let her go, and at the same time said: "He has been in prison before! Who knows what disgusting things he did in prison? You let him live at home , is it dirty?"

"Zhilu!" Fu Chenshan really had no choice but to drag Ling Zhilu into his room, and then slammed the door shut.

He Yu was a little helpless, he could only hear Fu Chenshan's low voice through the door, so he went to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, then went to the living room and opened the sliding door, and went to the balcony.

He Yu really liked the big balcony of Fu Chenshan's house. He lay down on the recliner, thinking that it would be difficult for him to build a house like this.I fantasized about it when I was young, but now there are only some illusory bubbles left, which can be broken with a poke.

It took almost half an hour for Fu Chenshan and Ling Zhilu to come out of the room. He Yu guessed that Fu Chenshan must have said all the good things to calm Ling Zhilu down, and his mouth was already parched.So as soon as he left the room, he went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water to drink.

Ling Zhilu stood in the living room, watching He Yu from a distance, but did not come over.

Ling Zhilu's malice towards him probably stemmed more from the incident three years ago. Strictly speaking, Ling Zhilu could be considered a victim.

Fu Chenshan came out of the kitchen and greeted He Yu, "Go eat."

He Yu stood up, smiled, and replied, "Okay."

Ling Zhilu was carrying a small black leather bag and followed Fu Chenshan, not intending to talk to He Yu.

Fu Chenshan took Ling Zhilu's hand, and said to He Yu when he went out, "Close the door."

Now that the hostess has arrived, He Yu consciously took the back seat when riding in the car.

He saw Fu Chenshan help Ling Zhilu open the car door, and put his palm on the door frame to prevent her from hitting her head; when he returned to the seat, he turned sideways and gently helped her fasten her seat belt.

He Yu supported his chin with one hand, sat in the back seat and silently watched Fu Chenshan's every movement and every expression.

In his opinion, Fu Chenshan's expression was a little too cautious.It was deliberately created to be gentle and considerate, with more respect than warmth.Probably this Miss Ling is too important to Fu Chenshan, far more than just a simple relationship as a lover.

He Yu reached out and touched the leather sofa under him.

Famous cars, luxury houses, no wonder Fu Chenshan, who is not yet thirty, can live the life he is now.

Dinner for three was a bit embarrassing.

Ling Zhilu didn't talk to He Yu, she sat beside Fu Chenshan, whispering to him from time to time.

He Yu could hear some, probably coquettish complaints, complaining about the people around him, complaining about too much work, complaining that the trip was not going well.

Originally, Ling Zhilu and a few friends went on a trip, and they would not be back until next week.On the way, I had a quarrel with someone, and the eldest lady lost her temper and insisted on flying back by herself first.

She planned to surprise Fu Chenshan and get comfort from Fu Chenshan, but unexpectedly, she met He Yu.

Fu Chenshan has been comforting her with gentle voice, full of patience.

He Yu buried his head and ate what was on his plate. He didn't like Western food very much, and everything felt a bit jerky in his mouth.

Halfway through the meal, Fu Chenshan suddenly took out something from his jacket pocket and handed it to He Yu who was sitting opposite.

"What?" He Yu reached out to take it, and found that it was a black touch-screen phone.

Smartphones with touchscreens like this were rare three years ago, but now they are in abundance.

Fu Chenshan said: "I asked my assistant to buy it for me. I planned to give it to you in the afternoon, but I forgot it. The card is already installed in it, and my mobile phone number has already been entered for you. I will contact you later if I need something. .”

He Yu pressed the button above and turned on the screen.The screen is large and clear, and it doesn't look cheap.He smiled and said to Fu Chenshan, "Thank you."

The fork in Ling Zhilu's hand hit the plate heavily.

"What's wrong?" Fu Chenshan put his hand on her back and asked.

"It's nothing," Ling Zhilu sneered.

He Yu knew that she was dissatisfied with Fu Chenshan giving her things, and probably even more dissatisfied with his attitude of accepting them without rejection.But He Yu didn't think it mattered. He picked up the soup on the table and took a sip.

Ling Zhilu put down the knife and fork, "I don't want to eat."

Fu Chenshan said: "It's fine if you don't want to eat, let's go when He Yu finishes eating."

Ling Zhilu looked displeased, "I want to go to the movies."

Fu Chenshan was a little helpless, and asked He Yu, "Go to the movies together?"

Before He Yu could speak in the future, Ling Zhilu grabbed her purse and stood up, saying, "You two go and see it!" while walking outside.

"Zhilu!" Fu Chenshan followed suit and stood up.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, He Yu said, "Hurry up and chase after him!"

Fu Chenshan looked helpless, and said to He Yu: "You let them charge my bill, and take a taxi back after eating."

He Yu waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm a big man and I'm afraid of getting lost? It's more important to coax your girlfriend, so go quickly."

Fu Chenshan nodded, and chased out the door.

He Yu didn't have much appetite, so seeing that Fu Chenshan had left, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, and waved to the waiter to pay the bill.

Coming out of the restaurant, it was already 08:30 in the evening, but for this city, the nightlife has just kicked off.

He Yu walked along the street, looking at the lights and colored glass everywhere, passing by many different people.He looked no different from anyone else here. Walking on the bustling streets of the city, no one would think that this strange young man had just come out of prison.

In fact, it's only been three years, the city has not changed too much, what really changed is probably only He Yu's mentality.

After walking for almost half an hour, He Yu reached out to hail a taxi.

After getting in the car, he said to the driver, "Take me to Bay City."

Haiwan City is the name of a street in Chongfeng City, because it is the gathering place of entertainment venues in the city, and people often call it Bar Street directly.

The taxi driver immediately turned around and drove into a small alley.He can drive guests to Bay City almost every night, and he is familiar with every path leading there.

He Yu came to Bay City to find people, not to go clubbing.

There was a note in his coat pocket. It had been in his pocket for a long time, and the handwriting was a little blurry.But I can still see clearly, it says No. 56 Bay Street, Not Drunk City.

On Bay Street, the driver asked him where to get off, and he said, "No. 56."

The driver was stunned for a moment, then drove forward for a while, stopped, and told him: "It's just around here, and I don't know which one."

"Thanks," He Yu gave the fare, opened the door and got off.

The whole street is full of neon lights, the music is accompanied by the subwoofer, and the young men and women in bright clothes walk into bars with ambiguous names.

He Yu also looked like one of them, if he hadn't been staring at those signboards but never entered any of them.

Walking all the way to the house number 56, He Yu raised his head and looked at the two big characters "Edge" on the signboard.He was a little puzzled, why not "Undrunk City"?

A waiter wearing a bow tie stood at the door and asked He Yu, "Would you like to come in, sir?"

He Yu looked down at the note in his hand again, hesitated, and walked in.
