Self-cultivation of spare tire

After seeing off Chen Zhu, Xu Lanting stayed alone in the box for a long time.The unique smell of saponin on Chen Zhu's body still remained in the air, which was as clean and refreshing as ever.

For the first time, Xu Lanting didn't want the smell of smoke to spoil the smell at the tip of his nose, so he threw away the lighter at hand and lay on his back on the sofa.

The scents around him made it seem like Chen Zhu was still lying beside him.

For countless nights, Xu Lanting fell asleep in such a clean atmosphere, surrounded by the steady and gentle breathing of the young man.Quiet, comfortable, occasionally rebellious and stubborn—maybe, this is why Xu Lanting likes Chen Zhu so much.

Unlike any lover Xu Lanting has ever been with, Chen Zhu is a little stubborn and rebellious.

He couldn't tell the deep meaning, but Xu Lanting just liked Chen Zhu's uniqueness.Perhaps, this is the so-called "freshness".

Since the shelf life has not passed, Xu Lanting naturally has no reason to let go easily.

The bodyguard knocked on the door and came in, holding the thick envelope in his hand, "Mr. Xu, this money—"

Xu Lanting glanced sideways, and suddenly sneered.He thought of Chen Zhu's stubborn and rigid appearance, and for some reason, his heart moved.

He got up slowly, raised his hand to button up the messy skirt, and returned to his decent appearance in front of others, as if the strong and despicable person just now was not him.

"Take it here." The man stretched out his hand, there was no trace of extra emotion in his eyes.

The bodyguard has been with Xu Lanting for many years, and he is well versed in the temperament of the man in front of him.In front of people, Xu Lanting always has a gentle and polite appearance, but when there is no one in private, this man often has no expression on his face, and no one can see through the depth of his eyes.

He seems to care about everyone, but he is actually a cold-blooded person.All the tenderness just stays on the surface. Under the man's deep eyes, there is an endless river of glaciers.

However, the boy who suddenly broke in today seemed to be a little different.

The bodyguard watched Xu Lanting take the dirty envelope in his hand, weighed it lightly, and then showed a wry smile.

"Look, isn't he very stubborn." Xu Lanting opened the envelope, looked at the wrinkled ten or five yuan inside, smiled, but his eyes were so cold that it made people shiver, "He really doesn't want to owe me at all, so Hurry up and get rid of me."

The bodyguard stood aside, not daring to answer easily.

Xu Lanting glanced at him, and said slowly: "Next time I see him, don't touch him, understand?"

Under the man's deep gaze, the bodyguard couldn't help feeling chills down his back, and nodded, "Yes."

The bodyguard watched Xu Lanting put away the stack, which was not too much—even, for Xu Lanting, it was only a few scraps of paper money, and slowly put it away, with imperceptible care in his movements.

The bodyguard thought he might be delusional.After all, anyone could turn his prodigal son back, but Xu Lanting, who has wandered in the world of mortals for more than ten years, would never stop for anyone.

Because of Chen Zhu's arrival in the first half, there was some trouble.Xu Lanting has always been good at being a man, he skillfully rounded up the second half, and led a group of people to a more advanced club to continue playing.

In the high-end club, there are all kinds of champagne beauties, lively parties, and exciting games, so that a group of people who are used to playing feel that Xu Lanting really knows how to play.

But Xu Lanting himself didn't seem to be interested, and sat lazily by the side, drinking every sip.

If people don't know Xu Lanting well, they will really think that he is drinking to drown his sorrows.However, everyone present knew Xu Lanting well, and guessed that this master was probably tired from playing and wanted to be clean.

Everyone knows Xu Lanting's temper, and no one dares to disturb him easily.

Unexpectedly, he didn't know what to do, and Da Lala sat next to Xu Lanting, making friends without knowing how to measure, "Brother Xu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, come here, I respect you."

Xu Lanting smiled, shook the hand holding the goblet, but did not drink.

"Good guy, that guy just now is your new love, tsk, he looks really fucking cool." The visitor relied on his family to do well in the circle, and his family was powerful, so he didn't have any scruples in speaking.

Xu Lanting's sexuality is an open secret in the circle, they are used to everything, let alone playing with men.

What's more, for the sake of excitement, they will find men to experience the novelty.

Lai Ren is one of them, for the sake of fun and excitement, men and women take it all, and is also known in the circle to like to play.

"Brother Xu, you still have a better eye for people. Let me tell you, what's the taste of those who are prettier than women? It's still this kind of masculine, which is more exciting to play with."

Just now that young man was born with clean eyebrows and eyes, and he was so handsome that one would be shaken just by looking at him.The man's heart was itching more and more as he thought about the tall figure of the boy under the sportswear.

"It's so fucking exciting."

Xu Lanting did not speak, but glanced at the man.

Seeing this, the people on the side hurriedly pulled the man up, "What kind of foreign farts do you do when you're drunk, brother Xu's people are also people you can talk about?"

The man didn't understand, so, "Eh? Brother Xu's love, what's the matter with me complimenting you?" He turned his head and smiled at Xu Lanting again, "Besides, a lover is not as important as a buddy. Brothers are like siblings, just a little love Can it be compared?"

He remembered that once, one of Xu Lanting's new lovers accidentally angered one of the sons, and within a few days, that little lover disappeared from Xu Lanting's circle.

As we all know, Xu Lanting has always treated people around him like this, seemingly gentle and affectionate, but in fact he is extremely affectionate.

The man went on to say: "Brother Xu, that one is somewhat ignorant today, come here, do you want some brothers to teach you a lesson?"

With a ding, the wine glass was suddenly placed on the glass table.With a soft sound, the surrounding area was silent for a moment.

Xu Lanting got up, buttoned up his buttons, and walked out slowly, "It's getting late, let's go."

The man who was yelling just now was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "Hey, it's just a little love, you won't be serious—"

Xu Lanting glanced back at him, the man choked in the middle of what he said.

In my impression, Xu Lanting has never slapped someone so directly.

The people in the circle were all good people, and when they saw Xu Lanting get up and leave, they also left the venue in dispirited mood.

"Let's go, let's meet again next time!"

"Thank you Brother Xu for the treat, Brother Xu, let's make an appointment next time."

Everyone tacitly didn't mention the boy who suddenly appeared just now, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this matter might not be that simple.

You know, there are ten fingers who can make Xu Lanting defend so blatantly.

Someone cast a sympathetic look at the man just now - after all, most people who offend Xu Lanting will end up with nothing good.

In the car, Xu Lanting leaned his head back on the chair, "Go back to the main house."

The driver has been watching people's faces for many years in Xu's house. Seeing the obvious displeasure on Xu Lanting's face, he didn't dare to say anything, and drove steadily all the way to Ziyu Villa.

Speaking of which, Xu Lanting seldom went back to the main house, unless it was a holiday or his parents' birthday.He even spent more time with Chen Zhu than at Ziyu Villa.

Looking at the feasting and feasting outside the window, Xu Lanting suddenly felt a little tired.He rubbed the space between his brows, but his mind was full of what the man said just now.

"A mere little lover", "It's just a little lover", "A lover is not as important as a buddy"

"Xu Lanting, you're not serious, are you?"

In the past, Xu Lanting would probably laugh it off.But tonight, for some reason, I felt sullen for no reason.

Unknown emotions disturbed Xu Lanting a little.He leaned on the back of the chair slumped, silently saying Chen Zhu's name over and over again.

Chen Zhu... Ah Zhu... The boy's clean and clear eyebrows came to mind, but it caused a burst of inexplicable bitterness.

Xu Lanting sighed, "Chen Zhu..." At this moment, he couldn't explain why he was holding onto Chen Zhu tightly and refused to let go.

The car drove all the way into the quiet villa area, and the tall and magnificent buildings came into view, but Xu Lanting's mind was full of the dim lamps, the painted cabinets, the old canopy beds, the narrow German can only think of Chen Zhu's shabby house. A bathroom that fits one person...

"Tsk." Xu Lanting sighed and got out of the car.

In the middle of the night, the retro spire of the villa is still lit with lights.Under the bright lights, the tall European-style buildings are as gorgeous as castles.

Xu Lanting walked in slowly, and saw that the lights were still on in the hall.He raised his eyes and saw a woman doing beauty treatment lying on the leather sofa.

The woman has a slim figure and a young face, surrounded by four or five beauticians who are slowly applying skin care products on the woman's fair face.

"I'm back." The woman squinted her eyes. Because of the expensive mask on her face, she just glanced at Xu Lanting lightly, then closed her eyes and continued to enjoy the massage from the beautician.

Xu Lanting took off his coat, walked slowly to the bar, and ordered a glass of ice water.

He drank some water, took it easy, and asked, "Where's Dad?"

The woman smiled nonchalantly. Although she was covered with a thick mask, she could see the same contemptuous expression as Xu Lanting.

"Who knows where Xiaoqinger is." The woman urged the people around her, "It's almost done, just wash it off."

Xu Lanting held the water glass, "Is there someone upstairs?"

The woman washed her face, raised her eyebrows and smiled at Xu Lanting, "I won't disturb you." She walked behind Xu Lanting, and gently hugged her son who was already taller than her, "Honey, go to bed early."

Then, the woman walked up the stairs step by step with cheerful steps.

Xu Lanting looked at her gentle and slender back. Out of the corner of her eye, it was the man and woman cuddling each other in the big wedding photo in the living room.

That year, men still had light in their eyes, and women looked at men with longing for the future.

Perhaps, the essence of love is nothing more than mutual attraction between skins. No matter how vigorous it is at the beginning, in the end, it is nothing but disgust.

Xu Lanting drank the water in the cup slowly, instead of going upstairs, he found a random guest room to sleep in.

With his eyes closed, he suddenly saw the affectionate appearance of his parents when they were young, and suddenly it was the appearance of Chen Zhu looking back at him and smiling slightly.

Xu Lanting closed his eyes and stayed up all night.

Chen Zhu closed his eyes, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

After tossing and turning for a while, he simply got up and turned on the desk lamp, sat at the table, and flipped through obscure English novels.

The books picked up in the second-hand book market, with yellowed pages and musty smell, were the only reading materials Chen Zhu could afford.

The young man doesn't care about the poverty in front of him. He knows that only by overcoming the predicament in front of him can he live a better life in the future.

In front of Chen Zhu's desk, there was a letter inscribed by Chen Weiguo himself - Heaven rewards hard work.

These few words are like the ruler in the hand of the grandfather, urging Chen Zhu to move forward again and again.

Chen Zhu gently swept away the book ants on the page, and the tip of the pen ran across the yellowed page, circling the unintelligible words.

After reading until late at night, belated tiredness surged up, Chen Zhu finally put down his pen and prepared to have a good sleep.

The PHS on the bedside beeped.

Chen Zhuruo felt something, so he directly deleted the message without clicking on it.

And the only time Xu Lanting sincerely "missed you" fell into the trash can lightly like this.
