mountains and deep sea

The Orange Garden is actually an entertainment place, with a three-story building. The lobby on the first floor is similar to a dance hall and bar. There is an elegant small courtyard outside, planted with flowers and plants, and the sky of Wancheng is visible when you look up.The second floor contains the KTV and the billiards hall, both of which are places to play.The third floor is quite special, it is the guest room, for those young men who are tired from playing to rest.

Orange Garden is the most famous place for celebrities in Wancheng. It has just emerged in the past few years, so it is absolutely different from other entertainment venues. The layout here is exquisite, and all the waiters have been trained. Not only must they look good, but they must also be proficient in English. As soon as I walked in, I thought I had gone to some kind of Paramount.

He looked around the infield for a week, but he couldn't find Lu Yuzhi. He was dragged by some friends he hadn't seen for many years and had a few drinks. After half an hour, he found a chance to avoid the group of crazy people. Go to the backyard.

Although it is deep winter, flowers can still be seen in the yard. There are a lot of hyacinths and rain orchids planted on both sides of the bluestone road at the foot. The pink petals are somewhat tenacious in the cold winter.There are Buddhist beads planted on the wall connected to the hall, and the greenery flows down the wall, thinking that spring has come.

No wonder everyone loves Orange Garden to play, the service is good, the gameplay is diverse, and even the environment is several times more exquisite than other places.

Fu Wensheng wasn't very interested in these things, he came here to find someone.As a result, half a day passed, no one was found, but a lot of wine was drunk.

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and the noise could be faintly transmitted to the yard. Fu Wensheng stood alone in the cold wind, and took out the cigarettes in his pocket. His shadow was stretched long and long by the street lamps. It should be a good New Year's Eve. Feeling a little lonely now.

Just as he was about to light the fire, he heard footsteps coming from the other end of the corridor, followed by a familiar voice, "Would you like to drink while there is wine in there, why don't you come out and smoke?"

The spark of the lighter in Fu Wensheng's hand was extinguished in the wind. He looked up and saw a person standing at the end of the corridor. Jokingly, staring at him with a funny face.

Unexpectedly, the person who had been looking for it for a long time turned out to be hiding here too. Fu Wensheng put away his cigarette and paced over, "Why are you here?"

Lu Yuzhi was a little speechless when he heard this, and it was rare to show an expression of displeasure bluntly, "Life forces me."

He was brought here by Gu Yihua purely because he said that there was a big boss willing to sponsor the troupe's world tour next year.He didn't want to come at first, but when he looked back and thought that everyone's expectations for next year were all on that tour, he had no choice but to nod and followed Gu Yihua to meet people.

But who knows, it's been a long time since I've been here, and the big boss still hasn't come down for another dinner. He won't leave, and he'll be upset if he doesn't leave, so he just came here to hide, and ran into Fu Wensheng unexpectedly.

Fu Wensheng was amused by him, "Why are you forced by life? Let me hear."

"Why, do you want to raise me?"

Lu Yuzhi was originally shorter than Fu Wensheng, and now he is much lower when he is sitting. Fu Wensheng wanted to look down at him, his eyelashes were lightly draped, and his smiling eyes were half exposed, which gave Lu Yuzhi a little surprise. Subtle pressure.

"It's not impossible," Lu Yuzhi heard Fu Wensheng say, "I don't have anything, but I have a lot of money."

Tsk, that's right...

Lu Yuzhi straightened up and moved closer to him, "Evil capitalist."

"Money is everything, after all."

With a look of contempt on Lu Yuzhi's face, he sat directly on the stone table this time, and asked Fu Wensheng casually, "Have you been here before? I remember that the Orangery was only established in the past few years. This is the home of the Gu family."

"No, it's my first time here." Fu Wensheng stood aside, "It doesn't matter who's business, I don't have any enemies with the Gu family."

Lu Yuzhi glanced at him, and remembered what Gu Yihua had told him, so he turned the corner and asked him, "You and...Gu Yihua knew each other since childhood?"

Fu Wensheng nodded.

He and Gu Yihua lived in the same yard when they were young, and they would see each other even if they didn't look up at the school.It's all fun, but Fu Wensheng doesn't have much affection for Gu Yihua. This person is too competitive. It's true that he wants to be the first in everything, but he always treats people as imaginary enemies, which makes people feel strange.

What's more, Gu Yihua is a small-minded person who cares about everything clearly. Who would like a small-minded person?

"Since we knew each other when we were young," Lu Yuzhi probed, "Why did I hear that you made him unable to step down a few days ago?"

Fu Wensheng raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood that Lu Yuzhi probably knew that it was because of him that he had an unpleasant fight with Gu Yihua that night, and now he was turning a corner to test it out.

He clicked his tongue, "Do you know that I almost broke face with Gu Yihua because of you? Want to thank me?"

He bent slightly and got a little closer to Lu Yuzhi. On the tip of his nose was the faint smell of laundry detergent on Lu Yuzhi's body, which instantly penetrated into his lungs. He smiled, "Don't turn the corner and ask, if you want You don’t have to be shy about being thankful.”

Fu Wensheng was good-looking, with a clear appearance, and when he smiled between his brows and eyes, he was gentle, and the warm yellow light of the courtyard flowed in his clear pupils, so beautiful that even Lu Yuzhi's breath was stagnant.

Lu Yuzhi raised his head backwards, "If I want to thank you, I stayed with you that night. Isn't that considered a thank you?"

"It doesn't count," Fu Wensheng said, "At that time, you didn't know what I did for you."

Mess around!Lu Yuzhi was laughed angrily, "Then what do you want?"

Fu Wensheng's eyes lit up immediately, and there were cunning engraved in them, "In order to repay a favor, the ancients would always promise each other with their bodies, otherwise you would consider it?"

Lu Yuzhi supported the stone table with both hands, raised his head slightly, raised his willow eyebrows, and repeated word by word, "Promise with your body?"

"Well," Fu Wensheng put away the sharpness in his eyebrows, but became serious instead, "It's okay if you don't like the Gu family, you can go with me."

The world is so lively that even nature has given some face. The north wind that howled in the past is actually docile at this moment, but it just brushes between them lightly, unable to take away each other's hot breath.

"Go?" Lu Yuzhi finally spoke after a long time, with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm, "Where are you going? Don't you like the Gu family going back to the Fu family with you? Will Aunt Shen agree or throw me out when she finds out?"

Fu Wensheng froze instantly.

Seeing Fu Wensheng who fell silent, Lu Yuzhi understood. He exhaled and said, "You can also imagine the result, don't think that homosexuality can be accepted so much now. In the eyes of others, we, in fact, It is different, it was in the past, it is in the present, and it will be in the future.”

After a moment of silence between them, Fu Wensheng said softly, "I'm not afraid that my parents will know that their son likes men."

Lu Yuzhi turned his head to look at him.

"I just think they may not be able to accept it, and I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it." Fu Wensheng continued.

Shen Yanqing's thinking is not old-fashioned, but she never said that she would accept her son's homosexuality openly.Fu Wensheng didn't even need to think about how Shen Yanqing would react if one day he really brought a man home and announced that he was gay in front of them, collapse, disappointment, despair...all possible.

After he found out that he liked men, he tried his best to hide it. No one knew, except George, who got along with him day and night in France, and Lu Yuzhi, who had sex together by chance.It's not that he doesn't dare to let others know that he likes men, but he's afraid that Fu Qian and Shen Yanqing won't be able to accept it if they find out.He is the only child of the Fu family, and they are their hope. The love of the whole family rests on him, and he dare not break their hearts.

Shen Yanqing usually had a lot of contact with Lu Yuzhi, so he knew that Fu Wensheng was right to worry.In the lonely night sky without fireworks, he thought of Lu Jiaruan for no reason. If she was still alive, what would she think if she knew that her son liked men?

However, he could think of the answer almost without thinking. He snorted coldly and laughed at himself, "If only Lu Jiaruan was so nice, she wouldn't care if you like men or women."

What she wished for was to get rid of Lu Yuzhi as soon as possible so that she would not care about his life or death.

Above the head are bare branches stretching towards the night sky, cutting the cold-colored light into incomplete blocks, and falling on them a little, unable to illuminate the spreading darkness under their feet.

Fu Wensheng thought of Lu Jiaruan in Shen Yanqing's photo album, and his beautiful face was still in front of his eyes—if you really want to say, Lu Yuzhi is more like Lu Jiaruan, especially those peach eyes, which are exactly the same, which can make people look at him Do not forget.

"I've met your mother." Fu Wensheng said, "My mother has a photo album with photos of Aunt Lu when she was young. You look a lot like her."

Lu Yuzhi was taken aback for a moment, and then said in silence for a long time, "Really? They also said that I was very similar to Lu Jiaruan when I was young."

When Lu Quansheng was not crazy, he often mentioned to Lu Yuzhi that he could always see Lu Jiaruan when he was young from his appearance.At that time, the summer sun was very long, and he was dragged by Lu Quansheng to sit on the steps, looking across the courtyard and Lu Jiaruan, who was leaning against the door smoking a cigarette, looked at each other silently, as if they found themselves in each other.

He was born by Lu Jiaruan, of course he resembled him.

But Lu Jiaruan exhaled a puff of smoke, and there was no expression in the lingering clouds, "What do you look like? It's not like me. It's just a wild species. Go with whoever you like."

The voice fell to the ground like an ice pick, and it was so cold that Lu Yuzhi felt a chill in his bones at that time.

He still remembers that feeling to this day.

There are people in the hall, and there are always voices coming from not far or near, but they can't break the loneliness here.

Fu Wensheng just looked at Lu Yuzhi, racking his brains and didn't know what to say.He didn't know what happened in their previous generation, but seeing Lu Yuzhi who seemed a little lonely at night, he wanted to say something to him, something to comfort him.

"Maybe Aunt Lu just can't let go of her feelings for Uncle Gu and doesn't know how to face you..."

Lu Yuzhi didn't notice Fu Wensheng's struggling to comfort him, but just sneered, "Yes, she loves Gu Yunping so much, she can give anything, and gave Gu Yunping all her pride, but Gu Yunping didn't take her seriously either."

The young Lu Jiaruan was so proud and ostentatious like a fiery sun, but he buried his former self for an unworthy love, and those who survived could only hide in the wing room in embarrassment and smoke.

Smoke surrounds her, death pulls her, and she pulls Lu Yuzhi.

"If it wasn't for loving Gu Yunping, if Gu Yunping hadn't lied to her in the end, would she have become like that? So, what's the use of love? Is it used to betray? Is it used to destroy a person?" Lu Yuzhi's tone was cold It didn't seem like he was talking about his own mother.

Only now did Fu Wensheng understand how much the matter between Gu Yunping and Lu Jiaruan had affected Lu Yuzhi. What he had witnessed since he was a child was Lu Jiaruan's downfall and embarrassment, and what he heard was Lu Jiaruan's love for himself. disgust.

Such a person does not believe in love.

"You can't think of Lu Yuzhi like that." Fu Wen said in a deep voice, rarely showing seriousness, "There are many kinds of love in this world. The relationship between your parents may be unbearable, including deceit and betrayal, but there is also love from beginning to end. It’s about giving sincerely, you can’t deny and reject everything.”

Lu Yuzhi was silent for a moment, and finally remained expressionless, "Really? But so what? I don't need anything, and I don't believe in anything."

He stood up straight, and stared at Fu Wensheng with no waves in his peach eyes, "I don't believe that love is always sincere and dedicated, because of Lu Jiaruan and Gu Yunping? Yes, there are more or less influences, but in the end , It’s good for me to come here all these years alone, and I can live without needing anything.”

Fu Wensheng pursed his lips, wanting to say something, when the glass door of the yard was suddenly pulled open, and a group of people came out arguing.

He realized later that it was almost twelve o'clock, and the most grand fireworks show in Wancheng was about to start.Sure enough, the next second was the sound of fireworks whizzing upwards, and the colorful fireworks illuminated Wancheng in an instant.

When he came back to his senses, Lu Yuzhi had already walked into the crowd and moved away from him, and everyone around him was heading towards the bright and lively places, only he was walking with his back turned, supporting his thin body and walking towards the dark place.

Fu Wensheng's clear eyes trembled slightly.
