Catch the wind

After Ye Xueshan landed, the first thing he did was to pay the money.Qiu Ba is often fiercer and domineering than the bandits, if he wants to make up his mind on the negotiated price, the ending will definitely not be happy.

However, he did not expect that the person responsible for collecting the money would be Gu Xiongfei.

Ye Xueshan didn't expect it, and neither did Gu Xiongfei himself.He has never been short of money, he is not too concerned about money, and he is unwilling to pay much attention to General Shen's blackmail.But the more bold and bold he is, the more General Shen regards him as a confidant - the child who grew up watching him, although he is notoriously bad-tempered, but his mind is definitely not bad.Apart from his son and uncle, General Shen is the most trustworthy person.

Ye Xueshan met Gu Xiongfei in the secluded courtyard near the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan.

There were little snowflakes floating in the sky, Ye Xueshan took two followers, led by the guards, walked through a courtyard, and entered the warm reception room.Gu Xiongfei was sitting on the couch indoors smoking a cigarette, seeing him coming, he just nodded.Ye Xueshan knew that he had voluntarily visited him twice, so according to human etiquette, he should never be indifferent.However, after hesitating for a moment between laughing and not laughing, before he finally made a decision, he just called calmly: "Brother."

The long sofas are arranged in a row against the wall, and there is a small rosewood coffee table in front of it, with a simple tea set.The orderly came in and poured two cups of boiling hot tea; Gu Xiongfei pushed one of the cups aside, and then ordered without looking up: "Go get a plate of chocolate rolls."

Ye Xueshan had already sat down, because they were far away from him, so they couldn't be regarded as shoulder to shoulder.Gu Xiongfei glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and saw that he was wearing a thin dark blue leather robe, with a faint circle of fine gray fur at the neckline, which made his face look much fairer, and his hair was combed neatly. It's the face of someone who goes out to meet people.The leather robe fit him very well, showing that his shoulders were thin and straight, giving him a kind of weak masculinity.

Ye Xueshan picked up the teacup and took a sip cautiously.The tea was very hot, and a fiery line flowed down from his throat.The cold air in his body was dispelled, making him shiver involuntarily.He really had nothing to say, after much deliberation, he decided to omit the greetings and get straight to the point: "I brought the money, let's count some money now!"

The orderly walked in with a transparent glass plate, inside which were stacked neatly with chocolate rolls.It is said to be a chocolate roll, but it is actually a layer of chocolate poured on top of the cake roll.Gu Xiongfei was also afraid that the two sides would quarrel if they disagreed, so he would rather find some snacks to occupy his mouth.

Ye Xueshan ate the chocolate rolls very restrainedly, not wanting to show his greed in front of Gu Xiongfei.Gu Xiongfei ignored him and called an officer to count the money with him.The banknotes were neatly stacked in a large suitcase, so it was easy to check.After counting it again and again, Gu Xiongfei had the bottom line in his heart, and went to the back yard with the suitcase himself, and locked the money in the safe.

Now that the official duties are completely over, Gu Xiongfei came back relaxed.Sitting back on the sofa silently, he faced the front and asked, "Did you eat after getting off the boat?"

Ye Xueshan replied to the teacup: "I have eaten."

Gu Xiongfei asked again: "When will you return to Tianjin?"

Ye Xueshan thought for a while, and finally replied: "Not necessarily, I will go with the goods."

Gu Xiongfei glanced sideways, and found that the back of his hand was still chapped, and it was showing a tendency to deteriorate, a line of red tender flesh was exposed in the dry skin.He frowned greatly, as if he felt extreme disgust, but he was actually hurting Ye Xueshan.

"Let's live here before we leave!" He said impatiently, "It's safe, quiet, and no one comes here."

Ye Xueshan turned to look at him in surprise, wondering if he was sincerely willing to keep her, or if he had to stay because of affection.It would be great if he could live here; but if Gu Xiongfei just said it casually without sincerity, then he would rather find another place to live.Picking up the teacup noncommittally, he took another sip of hot tea while thinking about it.

Gu Xiongfei was silent for a moment, before waiting for his answer, he couldn't help suspecting that he was putting on airs.Raising his voice without warning, he raised his hand and knocked hard on the coffee table: "Are you going to live or not? If you live, I will prepare a room for you. If you don't, you will get out!"

Ye Xueshan was reprimanded for no reason, but he was relieved when he was annoyed, he picked up his teacup angrily and said, "Just stay!"

Gu Xiongfei saw that he dared to confront him, so he slapped the coffee table angrily, and shouted to the outside: "Come on, clean up the wing!"

Someone outside immediately agreed, but the room was silent again.

Lin Zisen was still transporting goods at the pier, Ye Xueshan was free, and slept comfortably in the wing room in the afternoon.After waking up, he called a buddy to come in, opened the scene and began to burn opium.Just when the room was filled with clouds and smoke, Gu Xiongfei suddenly came in.

Ye Xueshan had just smoked enough, and immediately asked the waiter to remove the smoking equipment in order to clear the smog in the room as soon as possible.Knowing that Gu Xiongfei was annoyed by this, he also was annoyed by it, because it is said that after lying down in opium smoke for a long time, a dusty smoker's face would appear.Looking at Gu Xiongfei in front of the bed with distracted eyes, he wanted to get up and say hello, but the joints all over his body were ecstatically loose, and he needed a few minutes to put himself back together.Taking a deep breath, he didn't cheer up, so he just let out a moan: "Hmm..."

Gu Xiongfei saw him lying on the bed in long stretches, without any strength from head to toe, as if his soul had dissipated, leaving only a pair of heavy flesh and bones.Turning around and sitting down, he took Ye Xueshan's hand, the hand was also soft, let him pull it, let him pull it, put it in any way.He spread this hand flat on his thigh, and that hand really spread its fingers submissively.The fingers do not show joints, and the skin on the back of the hand is rough and rough, and the rough is on the surface, but the inside is still delicate.

Without saying a word, he took out a tube of ointment from his trouser pocket.The ointment has almost no taste, and a puff is squeezed out, like toothpaste in vain.He applied the ointment to the back of Ye Xueshan's hands, not letting go of every crack and wrinkle, and after applying it evenly, it was a shiny layer.

After painting this hand, Ye Xueshan's body on this side also gradually regained its vitality.Gu Xiongfei grabbed his other hand, the other hand was severely lacerated, Gu Xiongfei scratched it with his fingertips, and asked without emotion: "Does it hurt?"

Ye Xueshan was miraculously relaxed, and suddenly felt that he and Gu Xiongfei could have something to say: "It hurts."

Both hands were covered with ointment, Ye Xueshan came back to life completely, but he didn't get up, looked at his hands with his face up, and said: "I have applied ointment, but it didn't work."

Gu Xiongfei was still sitting sideways on the edge of the bed, with one leg raised and crossed on the bed, just facing Ye Xueshan: "The face is fine."

Ye Xueshan's eyes gradually became focused: "Face, after two days of creaming, it will be fine."

Gu Xiongfei said: "The face is different from the hands."

Ye Xueshan seemed to think so, but still refused to look at him, just studied his two hands over and over again, the palm was thin, the fingers were long, the bones were flexible and slender, the size was men's, and the details were women's.

"Isn't it sick?" He asked thoughtfully again, really worried.

Gu Xiongfei knew that he lacked common sense, so he told him firmly: "It's not a disease."

Then Gu Xiongfei had a whim, sneered sourly, and added a superfluous sentence: "Those who smoke opium don't like to get sick."

Ye Xueshan was not moved when he heard this, and he didn't want to be as knowledgeable as Gu Xiongfei.Bored and bored, he picked up the ointment tube, and opened his dark eyes to read the foreign language on it. He didn't seem to understand a single word, and his eyes gradually narrowed and grew out along the end of the eyes, as if they were about to close. His eyes fell asleep, but he didn't know when he slowly opened his eyes wide, and he didn't intend to sleep.

The atmosphere in the room became heavy again, neither the people nor the air moved.Gu Xiongfei took out the lighter and cigarette case, and lit a cigarette for himself.After taking two shallow breaths, he lowered his eyes, and suddenly saw Ye Xueshan's hand lying on the bed and crawling towards him, obviously wanting to take the cigarette case.The cigarette case was gold-plated and engraved, half-open brightly, and there were neatly arranged snow-white cigarettes inside.

He thought Ye Xueshan was going to smoke, so he deliberately handed half of the cigarette he had smoked to his lips.Ye Xueshan froze for a moment, then opened his mouth and lightly bit the cigarette.When Gu Xiongfei lit another cigarette for himself, he stretched out his hand persistently, and finally touched the cigarette case.

In fact, he didn't want to smoke, he was just bored and wanted to find something to kill time.Lying lazily on the bed, he arranged all the cigarettes in the cigarette case in a uniform manner. He closed the cigarette case with a "click", turned around and returned the cigarette case to its original position, and picked up the lighter again.

The lighter looked familiar, and he gave it to Gu Xiongfei in Beiping back then. It cost 60 yuan, which was considered expensive for him at the time.He pressed out a faint flame, and said casually, "Is it still working?"

Gu Xiongfei puffed out the clouds one after another, and the people hid behind the clouds and looked at him: "It's easy to use."

Ye Xueshan said casually: "I have a better one at home, I will give it to you next time."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt a little regretful, because it was okay not to give it away, why should he give it away?Of course it's not that he feels sorry for something, he just doesn't want to please Gu Xiongfei.

Gu Xiongfei smiled silently, feeling that the boy who liked to flatter him back then was back: "You can keep it for use."

Ye Xueshan turned to look at him, and was surprised to meet a gentle smiling face.Hastily leaning forward and lying back, he was inexplicably startled.

The dinner was sumptuous, Gu Xiongfei wanted to persuade Ye Xueshan to drink some wine, but Ye Xueshan was determined not to drink.Lin Zisen said that once he drank, he would definitely show his embarrassment; but he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of Gu Xiongfei.In front of Gu Xiongfei, he is very self-respecting and self-loving, almost arrogant.

After eating, he called Lin Zisen on the phone.Lin Zisen was cold and tired, so he never had time to relax.In the noisy background, he told Ye Xueshan loudly: "Don't drink, you will become confused if you drink too much!"

Ye Xueshan was a little impatient, and told him through gritted teeth: "I fucking know!" Then he hung up the phone involuntarily.

After one night, Xiaoxue did not stop.Gu Xiongfei and Ye Xueshan stood side by side on the porch in front of the house, watching the snow scene that changed overnight.

Everything is covered with a layer of white snow, and everything has a little bit of pure and pure meaning out of thin air.Gu Xiongfei looked at the clean and clear world in front of him, and suddenly asked, "How long are you going to do this business?"

Ye Xueshan replied: "If you can't do it, you won't do it."

Immediately, he became vigilant: "It's not easy for me to find a way to make money, so don't make trouble for me."

Gu Xiongfei smiled and put his arms around his shoulders: "Afraid of me?"

Ye Xueshan also smiled: "I'm afraid you will force me."

Gu Xiongfei turned his face to look at Ye Xueshan. After watching for a while, he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you still hate me now?"

Ye Xueshan was a little helpless, he had no choice but to reply: "I don't hate, what is there to hate?"

Gu Xiongfei heard Ye Xueshan's reluctance, and immediately withdrew his smile.He felt that he had put his figure so low that he felt ashamed, but he couldn't get back even a sincere answer.
