mountains and deep sea

One Spring Festival, at Shen Yanqing's request, Fu Wensheng accompanied her to visit relatives for four days, and went to different seven aunts and eight uncles to be greeted with important life events, which gave him a sense of fear of being dominated, I can't even spare time to do the things I'm thinking about.

On the fifth day of the new year, Fu Wensheng excused himself to take care of school affairs, got into the car and left, causing Shen Yanqing to turn his anger on Fu Qian—look at your good son.

Fu Qian had no choice but to look innocent.

Fu Wensheng said he wanted to go home, but he didn't go home. Instead, he turned to the largest shopping mall, bought a gift for the elderly, turned around and ran to the Hutong Street.

Compared with the city center, Hutong Street is much more lively. Although it is only the fifth day of the new year, there are already people setting up stalls in the streets and alleys.Children play in the corner and like to light small firecrackers unexpectedly, which makes passers-by scream, and then gloats and applauds.Within a few seconds, a parent came out with a feather duster in his hand.The yelling of children, the yelling of parents, and the yelling of stall owners make Hutong Street like boiling water, gurgling to welcome the breath of the New Year.

Fu Wensheng parked the car outside the alley. This was only the second time he came to Hutong Street. He knew that it was impossible for him to know the way, but with a sense of mystery that he wanted to surprise, he decided to open his mouth more. If you know Lu Yuzhi, you will always know Lu Quansheng.

So Professor Fu made a good start, and it took nearly half an hour to find the place. Standing at the gate of the courtyard with the door half-closed, he took a few deep breaths, tidied up his appearance by the way, so that he didn't look too embarrassed, and then knocked on the door. He knocked on the door and pushed it open, "Lu Yuzhi?"

By coincidence, Lu Yuzhi was doing leg presses in the yard. He was wearing white loose exercise clothes in the cold weather, with one slender leg resting on a bamboo pole, and his upper body was straight. When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he slightly Turning his head sideways, his eyes met Fu Wensheng who came in.

The winter sun was warm, and the golden light fell on the yard, covering them with a layer of soft light. The breeze blew through their hair, and it seemed that something gently scratched their hearts together.

It was the first time they had seen each other since New Year's Eve, and the first time they had been together.

It was Fu Wensheng who spoke first. He closed the door with his empty hand, walked into the yard, and went to Lu Yuzhi, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you so surprised?"

He was indeed a little surprised. After all, they hadn't contacted each other since that night. He thought maybe Fu Wensheng had changed his mind, but he didn't expect him to come here today.He found that Fu Wensheng's hair had been cut a little shorter, and his whole person looked more neat. He hesitated and said, "You come..."

"I've come to see you." Fu Wensheng took the words obediently.

Lu Yuzhi lowered his eyes and glanced at the large and small boxes of gifts in his hand. They were all gifts for the elderly. He couldn't help but tease, "I didn't see any gifts for me."

Fu Wensheng choked for a moment, thought for a while, "We can go directly to the store to pick."

"What do you choose?" The curtain of the wing room was raised, and Lu Quansheng came out leaning on a cane, squinting at Fu Wensheng and asked, "Who is this?"

"Fu Wensheng." Lu Yuzhi put down his legs and replied, after thinking for a while, he added, "My friend."

Lu Quansheng turned up the volume and let out an "oh", and muttered as he walked over, "I've never seen you bring friends home."

Oh, then I'm the first one.Fu Wensheng thought subconsciously, and glanced at Lu Yuzhi, the pride and joy that flashed inside him didn't even realize it.

Lu Quansheng walked up to him, looked at him with his presbyopic eyes, and finally commented sincerely, "What a handsome boy."

Fu Wensheng didn't expect the old man to praise people so directly, and he greeted people dumbfounded for a moment, "Old Lu, my name is Fu Wensheng, do you remember me?"

Lu Quansheng groaned, "I don't remember, Yu Zhi didn't bring friends to the house. It's your first time here. How could I have met you?"

Fu Wensheng was taken aback, did he forget what happened that night?

Before he could figure it out, Lu Quansheng patted his arm, "You can have lunch before you come, I will cook for you, I'm going out."

"Where are you going?" Lu Yuzhi asked leisurely, who was still silent all the time, "I don't know how to cook, so what should I give him to eat?"

"Hey! I'm going to the theater!" Lu Quansheng glared at him, "How many bowls of noodles do you know?"

Lu Yuzhi laughed, "You let people eat noodles at home?"

Lu Quansheng immediately looked at Fu Wensheng with a pleasant smile, "You don't mind, young man."

Fu Wensheng looked at him, then at Lu Yuzhi, "It's okay, I'll do it, don't worry."

Lu Yuzhi turned to look at him.

Lu Quansheng immediately said hello, said a few more words, and hurriedly went out.

"Old Lu's memory is not very good?" Fu Wensheng asked after seeing Lu Quansheng disappearing outside the door leaning on a cane.

"Well," Lu Yuzhi folded his hands in the sleeves leaning on the wide sleeves, "I will forget many things in a while."

He withdrew his gaze and raised his eyebrows at Fu Wensheng, "You know how to cook?"

"Yeah," Fu Wen laughed, "I'll show you my hands."

There were not many ingredients in the kitchen, but there was a mandarin fish that had just been bought. Fu Wensheng asked, "Does Mr. Lu eat braised stinky mandarin fish?"

Braised stinky mandarin fish in braised sauce is a famous special dish in Wancheng. It is said that it is a method of hiding mandarin fish developed by Huizhou merchants in the early years to make a living by fishing along the way, and later carried forward by later generations. Inadvertently, it became the signature dish of Anhui cuisine.

Braised mandarin fish in brown sauce is not difficult to make, but for a kitchen rookie like Lu Yuzhi who only knows how to go down, it is not so difficult, so he looked at Fu Wensheng with undisguised surprise, "You Can you cook mandarin fish?"

Fu Wensheng rolled up his sleeves, exposing his protruding wrist bones, while washing mandarin fish, "Well, I've done it a few times."

"Oh," Lu Yuzhi asked again, "Can you eat it?"

Fu Wensheng snorted and looked back at him slightly, "You'll know after trying."

At this time, he was bending over, with broken hair falling on his forehead, and the bridge of his nose was straight, forming a gentle arc with his lips and chin. His brows were raised, and his eyes fell on Lu Yuzhi's body clearly. .

Lu Yuzhi thought the old man was right, this man is really good-looking.

Fu Wensheng first steamed the cleaned mandarin fish in a pot, and then sat on the threshold with Lu Yuzhi and looked at the scenery in the yard.

It was late at night when he came that day, and it was still early in the morning when he left, so he was not allowed to see the appearance of the yard clearly. Only now did he realize that there were many flowers and plants in the yard, comparable to the small yard in the Orange Garden.But here is different from the orange garden. The flowers and plants here are taken care of by people, and they grow very beautifully in the cold winter. Feel.

It is said that you can see the life of the flower grower from the flowers. If the flowers are beautiful, that kind of flower person probably loves life.

Fu Wensheng asked, "You planted these?"

Lu Yuzhi leaned his head against the door and said, "I planted it with the old man, he planted more. I don't come here often."

"You don't come here often?" Fu Wensheng thought that Lu Yuzhi lived here.

Lu Yuzhi's eyes fell on the void, with a calm expression, "I don't deal with him, we will quarrel, and sometimes he doesn't want to see me, so I come back occasionally."

Fu Wensheng actually expected that Lu Quansheng's mental state was not very good, and he would hurt Lu Yuzhi in severe cases. He thought that maybe Lu Yuzhi didn't live here, and that's why Lu Quansheng wanted to protect Lu Yuzhi.

"Then he usually lives alone?"

Lu Yuzhi looked at him, hesitation flickered in his beautiful eyes, he seemed to be wondering why he had mentioned this to Fu Wensheng, but he still replied, "The teacher will often visit him, and there are also nurses."

He also came here often, most of the time at night, and he left just after seeing people, and he didn't spend a few nights.It happened that Lu Quansheng was in a good state of mind the night Fu Wensheng came to the house. He remembered who he was, and kept him chatting for a long time, before he went back to sleep in the room he had lived in since he was a child.

Fu Wensheng nodded, and said after a while, "Next time I can come and see Mr. Lu with you."

When he said this, Fu Wensheng was looking at him, his tone was soft, but Lu Yuzhi could hear the seriousness inside.

For a moment, Lu Yuzhi wanted to ask why, but then he thought about New Year's Eve, when they embraced each other and kissed tightly on the sofa, the hot feeling climbed up every part of their bodies, so hot that they would burn in the next moment. stand up.

The scenery outside the window was hazy, the city was still sleeping in the early morning, and Fu Wensheng kissed his ear repeatedly.

Lu Yuzhi heard him say, "I really like you."

——Because I like it, I want to help him take care of his family, share some burdens for him, and listen to him talk about those words that are always hidden in my heart.

Lu Yuzhi gently rubbed his knuckles with his thumb, nodded, "Okay."

Fu Wensheng frowned, and naturally raised his hand to straighten Lu Yuzhi's wind-torn hair.

He was natural, but Lu Yuzhi was not natural, just as Fu Wensheng raised his hand and cast him a complicated look, "Fu Wensheng..."

The wind suddenly became stronger, the flowers and plants in the yard were rustling, and the hair that had just been cut was blown into a mess again. Fu Wensheng simply put down his hands, stared at Lu Yuzhi's eyes, and tilted his head, "Lu Yuzhi, what are we doing now? In love, have you forgotten?"

Fu Wensheng's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Shen Yanqing's, with deep eye sockets, and he is always serious when he looks at people. When his eyes meet, he often gives people the illusion of ten thousand years, as if he just wants to drown in the eyes in this life.

Lu Yuzhi has always been lazy and casual, and he doesn't like to pursue the deeper things behind some things, such as intentions, or feelings.He actually didn't understand why Fu Wensheng just fell in love with him, why he wanted to be with him after only seeing him a few times, and why he took this almost ridiculous relationship so seriously.But it's like he didn't understand why he agreed to Fu Wensheng's relationship, just because he helped him?

No, Lu Yuzhi understands better than anyone else that he agreed to Fu Wensheng probably because when he woke up on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was a tired Fu Wensheng sleeping next to him, and there was a sense of security that he had rarely felt for decades. Feelings settled in his heart, as if in Paris at that time, when he saw Fu Wensheng amidst the noise, his restless mood suddenly settled down, and he even felt impulsive.

Du Mengqiu told him before that love is a mysterious thing.

He didn't understand it at the time, but now he understands it a little bit, and he has a little interest in it.

Lu Yuzhi also tilted his head and said word by word, "I know, Professor Fu."
