mountains and deep sea

The mandarin fish in the pot was cooked, and Fu Wensheng finished the braised stinky mandarin fish dish from memory. The alluring fragrance lingered at the tip of Lu Yuzhi's nose.

He leaned on the table to watch the braised mandarin fish, and then cast admiring eyes on Fu Wensheng, who was looking at him all day long, "That's right, Professor Fu, you have two hands."

Fu Wensheng put down the three pairs of chopsticks in his hand and smiled, "When will Mr. Lu come back?"

"Don't worry about him, I'll probably eat it in the teahouse." Lu Yuzhi had already quickly picked up the chopsticks, and first took a bite of mandarin fish.The fish was so tender and delicious that Lu Yuzhi's eyes almost brightened.

Fu Wensheng was amused by his childish appearance, pulled up a chair and sat down opposite him, "Is it delicious?"

"Yeah!" Lu Yuzhi nodded emphatically, "The cooking skills are really good, have you learned it?"

"I've researched it myself." Fu Wensheng said, "I'm not used to eating foreign food, so I like to make it myself."

He stayed abroad alone for six years, and when he first went there, he didn't touch the spring water with his fingers, and could only eat bread along with him.But when a person is in a foreign land, what he will miss the most is the taste of home. Those oil, salt and rice vinegar are usually just for hunger, but sometimes they become sustenance.

Fu Wensheng was no exception, so he bought pots, pans and pans from the supermarket, and began to study and start cooking. He will not become a chef in six years, but the taste of the cooking must be good.

Lu Yuzhi glanced at him out of the corner of his eye while eating, thought for a while, and asked, "How long have you been in France?"

"Six years at full count."

"Just to study medicine?"

Fu Wensheng nodded.

Lu Yuzhi snorted, biting his chopsticks and thinking, how determined a person is to stay in a foreign country for six years just to learn one thing.But such a determined person, why did he suddenly come back?Also became a teacher instead of a doctor?

Fu Wensheng saw that Lu Yuzhi was in a daze, so he stretched out his hand and shook in front of him, "What are you thinking?"

Lu Yuzhi returned to his senses, and instead of asking the question in his heart, he asked, "Is there anything interesting in France?"

"Do you want to hear?"

Lu Yuzhi smiled and leaned forward slightly, "Aren't you in a relationship? Isn't it right to know about your boyfriend's past?"

The word "boyfriend" jumped on the tip of Fu Wensheng's heart. It wasn't a big movement, but it was enough to make his brain go crazy for a moment.He withdrew his expression, put his elbows on the table, and looked like he was sitting upright.

"There shouldn't be anything interesting. What I want to say is that when I first went to France, I didn't understand French, and I couldn't speak English well, so I made a lot of jokes."

He had just graduated from high school at that time, and Fu Qian had cut off his source of income. In desperation, he had no choice but to find a part-time job first.He is tall and good-looking, and he can gain a lot of favor as a waiter.It's a pity that he can't speak French, and he can't speak English well. When ordering food for the guests, he stumbles, and when he encounters a customer with a temper, he will angrily find the manager to complain.

He has never suffered from this kind of temper since he was a young master. When someone pointed at his nose and scolded him, he wanted to throw his clothes and leave immediately.But people always have to bend their waists for five buckets of rice, he can only stand there and bow his head to be scolded, and he can only imagine such things as throwing clothes in his mind.

"So miserable? What happened next?"

Fu Wensheng looked at Lu Yuzhi's face with relish, and dared to really listen to it, so he came to tease him, "Why don't you guess what happened later?"

Lu Yuzhi raised his eyebrows, "Are you working hard to learn French?"

Fu Wensheng smiled, and shook his head seriously.

"no?"

"Later, I quit my job, and I really threw my clothes and left." Fu Wensheng said, "Because Qi Song sent me money."

Lu Yuzhi immediately rolled his eyes and gave it to him.

Fu Wensheng laughed heartily, the words were just to tease him, the fact is that he really worked in that part-time job for two years, while taking the opportunity to deal with customers to learn French, at the same time he had to walk an hour away to go to school for classes.Homesickness and loneliness weighed on his shoulders, and he couldn't find anyone to talk to during the long dark night.

Young people like to transfer their emotions to different things, so he ran a lot of places in his spare time, went to the Louvre, went to the Eiffel Tower, or traveled by car to Provence, to Loire... For a long time, he was wandering on the road in a car.

"Hmm..." Lu Yuzhi scratched his head and thought for a moment, "Freedom is pretty good."

Fu Wensheng nodded and asked again, "Do you want to play? We can go when we have time."

Lu Yuzhi opened his eyes slightly, and just as he was about to speak, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and then there was a burst of noise, and it was Lu Quansheng who came back cursing.

Fu Wensheng and Lu Yuzhi got up one after another and went out to have a look. They saw Lu Quansheng coming over with a livid face leaning on a cane, walking and muttering all the way.

Lu Yuzhi stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

Lu Quansheng snorted heavily, "That bad old man of the Li family sang a tune wrong. I told him, but he still didn't believe it! I've been singing for decades, can I hear it wrong?!"

He hummed and cursed, Fu Wensheng was dumbfounded, and Lu Yuzhi explained to him in a low voice, "Old man Li's family is his former singing partner. It's okay, he has deep feelings, and makes trouble every day. It's a trivial matter."

After finishing speaking, he went to call Lu Quansheng, his tone was flat, but what he said was not human, "Next time you go with the trumpet and sing duet with him. If you can roar him better, you are right."

The amazing thing is that Lu Quansheng thought about this suggestion seriously.

Fu Wensheng was almost amused by these two men.

Lu Quansheng's eyes fell on Fu Wensheng who was standing on the steps, and he walked slowly over, "You..."

Lu Yuzhi thought he had forgotten the person again, so he explained, "This is Fu Wensheng..."

"I know, I know!" Lu Quansheng hurriedly interrupted Lu Yuzhi, "Your friend, I remember."

Lu Yuzhi opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Lu Quansheng took Fu Wensheng's hand, and held Fu Wensheng's tightly with his skinny hand, feeling a little excited, "Oh, Yu Zhi finally brought someone here, come quickly, I'll cook something delicious for you, stay longer!"

The sudden enthusiasm made Fu Wensheng a little uncomfortable, so he turned to look at Lu Yuzhi.

Lu Yuzhi stood at the bottom of the steps, looked up at him with squinted eyes, with broken sun and smile in his eyes, and said to him silently, "Stay a little longer."

Being stayed by Lu Quansheng like this, Fu Wensheng stayed until after dinner at night, and finally stepped out of the yard when Shen Yanqing called to ask him to go home.

Lu Yuzhi sent him to the intersection. In the twilight, the street lamps had already been lit up row by row, and the red lanterns were still shining faintly on the street.

The two of them stood still in front of the car, and Fu Wensheng said, "Go back."

Lu Yuzhi put his hands in his pockets, and seeing that he was about to get into the car, he suddenly said, "There is a charity party in a few days, do you want to go?"

Fu Wensheng looked back at him.

He had heard Fu Qian mention that charity gala, and it was nothing more than a meeting in the upper class.He was still hesitating whether to listen to Fu Qian's words and take a look, but now that Lu Yuzhi mentioned it, he asked, "Are you going?"

Lu Yuzhi nodded, "Go and have a look."

"You don't like that place?"

Lu Yuzhi laughed, "Why don't you go and see if you're curious?"

"...Yes," Fu Wensheng said. He thought for a while, "Then I will go too. Want me to pick you up?"

"No need," Lu Yuzhi shook his head, "If others see us getting off in the same car, they will have to hold back a lot of news."

This is a joke, but it is also true. After all, the rumors started with the mouth, and they never thought of making their relationship public.

Fu Wensheng nodded, and saw Lu Yuzhi standing under the street lamp, shrinking his neck for fear of the cold, looking at himself with half-raised eyes was really pitiful, so he went forward and stretched out his hand to tighten his collar.

Lu Yuzhi was taken aback by his sudden approach, and looked at him through his thin bangs.

While fixing his collar, Fu Wensheng said, "You live alone, so why don't you move in with me? I'm alone too."

Lu Yuzhi said "Huh?" Before he could speak, he watched Fu Wensheng take a step back and distance himself from him.

Fu Wensheng smiled, "You can think about it, I'm leaving."

This time the person really got into the car. Lu Yuzhi watched his car merge into the traffic before walking back to the Hutong Street.

The Orange Garden is brightly lit as always, but compared to New Year's Eve, tonight is more lively. Everyone who comes here is also dressed in suits and leather shoes. The juniors on the first floor follow behind their parents one by one. Going to toast attentively, someone is playing piano music in the hall, which is Chopin's Nocturne. Even though the noise of human voices has overshadowed the sound of the piano, the person who is playing still looks self-indulgent.

And in the entertainment area on the second floor, most of them are juniors, gathering in twos and threes, playing all kinds of things, and the smell of tobacco and alcohol permeates the air.

Fu Wensheng nestled on the sofa, some of them tapped the goblet repeatedly, watching the red wine in it swaying on the side of the glass, after a while, finally looked at Qi Song who had been staring at him, "You always watch me do it Well?"

"Why not? See if you are possessed?" Qi Song looked serious.

Fu Wensheng almost spit out the red wine, and glared at Qi Song angrily, "Curse me?"

"No," Qi Song couldn't believe it, "Usually you don't come when I ask you to come, so I dare not call you, but today I came by myself?!"

Fu Wensheng took a sip of red wine leisurely, "Come if you want, and I want to report to you?"

Qi Song snorted, "The sun is coming out from the west."

"Where's Zhou Zhou? I didn't come with you."

"Stop talking," Qi Song sighed deeply when Zhou Zhou was mentioned, "We've had a fight."

"Huh?" Fu Wensheng looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"Well, I wanted to marry her, but she refused."

"Cough cough cough..." Fu Wensheng was really choked this time, and coughed in a muffled voice, unable to speak for a long time.

Qi Song on the side was speechless, "What's your reaction?"

"No," Fu Wensheng calmed down before saying, "Married?! Are you serious?"

"You don't believe it either?" Qi Song said anxiously, looking annoyed, "No, why don't you believe it?! She doesn't believe it either. ?!"

Fu Wensheng put down the goblet, hesitantly patted Qi Song on the shoulder.

Qi Song, "...If you have something to say, just say it, don't shoot it."

"I can't blame Zhou Zhou for not believing you, right? Think about it, what kind of you used to be, you were omnipotent, who would think that the marriage you said is serious? Even if it is serious, how long can you hold on to the sincerity inside?" It's something Zhou Zhou will worry about, after all, you've only been together for so long."

"Oh, what should I do then?"

Fu Wensheng said, "Wait a little longer, give you some more time. You don't care, but Zhou Zhou is a good girl, and the decision you make must be worthy of her."

Qi Song sighed again, "This is me, if it were you, who would not agree to your proposal?"

Fu Wensheng was startled, but he remembered Lu Yuzhi, and couldn't help shaking his head, that guy probably wouldn't agree.

At this time, there were footsteps approaching them, Fu Wensheng and Qi Song looked together, it was He Zitang.

Qi Song sat up straight.

He Zitang was wearing a gray suit today, and he was still wearing glasses, looking like a gentle scum.

Oh no, it's disrespectful.

He Zitang stood still in front of Fu Wensheng and raised his glass, "Mr. Fu, long time no see."

Fu Wen calmed down and took a sip of the red wine on his own, "Not long, just a few days ago."

He Zitang snorted, "It seems that Mr. Fu still remembers what happened that day, why didn't you see Mr. Lu with you?"

Fu Wensheng glanced at him coldly.

Qi Song choked back for him, "Why did Lu Yuzhi want to be with Fu Wensheng? They have nothing to do with each other."

"It's okay?" He Zitang looked surprised, "I thought Mr. Fu came forward that day because he was also interested in Lu Yuzhi."

"What are you talking about?!" Qi Song suddenly stood up.

Fu Wensheng grabbed Qi Song's hand, raised his eyes and looked at He Zitang indifferently, "Even if I have something to do with Lu Yuzhi, it's none of your business, Mr. He. I remember that Mr. He failed in a major project. Isn't it? You should be in a hurry about the loan."

He Zitang's expression darkened.

That project was the biggest bargaining chip in his previous family business. It was about investing in real estate. Everything was prepared, and we just waited for the construction to start in February of the next year. As a result, the Fu family, the largest asset in it, suddenly announced the withdrawal of capital, resulting in the project funds being withdrawn. Insufficient must not stop the process.He didn't even have to think about who did the good deed here, but he didn't expect that although Fu Wensheng didn't intervene in the Fu family's business, he still had the right to speak, and it was not small.

Fu Wensheng calmly said, "I told you, the Fu family doesn't do business with people with dirty hands and feet."

He Zitang snorted coldly, "I didn't expect that Mr. Fu could do this for Lu Yuzhi. Who are you?"

Fu Wensheng smiled, and when he was about to speak, he was interrupted, "It's no one, just a lifesaver."

When Qi Song looked at Lu Yuzhi who was walking slowly behind He Zitang, he thought inappropriately—is the sun really coming out from the west today?Why even Lu Yuzhi is here? !
