Salted Toffee

Fu Cizhou didn't understand what happened to Zhu Yu, just like Zhu Yu himself didn't know what happened to him.

He could face everyone without changing his face, but when he arrived in Fu Cizhou, he was flustered and frightened, and he couldn't be alone with each other at all.

That kind of emotion is inexplicable and unclear, pushing people to stay away.

Zhu Yu tried his best to shrink himself into a ball, as if he was going to drown in the boundless sea.

He wants to get out of here.

"Congratulations!"

Someone grabbed his wrist and pulled him up abruptly.

As if there was a "crash" sound of seawater pouring down, Zhu Yu raised his head, and a large amount of fresh air was poured into his mouth and nose.

"Ahem..." He leaned on the wall and couldn't help coughing.

In the past, Zhu Yu was stimulated, most of which were dizziness, angina pectoris and shortness of breath.

Fu Cizhou had never seen Zhu Yu suffocate so calmly, his whole face and neck turned red, as if he was suffocating.

He took half a step forward, with his arm hanging in the air, and he didn't dare to touch it after all.

"Very good, that's it if you don't let me follow?" Lin Wei was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he could help others to obey regardless of the past.

Zhu Yu closed his eyes and gasped for breath, bent forward and leaned forward, pressing his forehead against the cold tiles on the wall.

"My friend, you're a bit too much." Lin Wei looked at Fu Cizhou with a ruthless smile, "When I have time, we can fight."

After finishing speaking, he was going to take Zhu Yu away. Fu Cizhou wanted to stop him, but he was afraid that Zhu Yu would have any accidents like before.

"You'd better stay away from him," Lin Wei put his arms around Zhu Yu's shoulders, and put his fingers together in a protective gesture, "You should avoid touching my people."

Fu Cizhou stood where he was, watching the two leave.

He didn't stop it, but his eyes hurt from being stabbed.

Some are glad, some are sad.

Fortunately, there is still someone taking care of Zhu Yu these years, but the sad thing is that the relationship between the two seems to be closer than I imagined.

In fact, Fu Cizhou also wanted someone to accompany Zhu Yu instead of him, but he also selfishly hoped that that person would never be able to replace him.

No one will come and go when they are called. Fu Cizhou understands and does not want to let him down.

So for so long, I have been alone.

When he and Zhu Yu separated, there was no dispute other than external factors. Fu Cizhou never doubted their relationship.

For the past seven years, he has always believed that after both parties can be independent, as long as there is a chance to meet again, they will definitely be together again.

However, things did not go as he wished, and Zhu Yu rejected him unexpectedly, to the point where he could not get close.

And who was the man who appeared at Zhu Yu's house this morning?

There's so much you can do with friendship as a cover.

The ensuing troubles suppressed Fu Cizhou's doubts, but they all broke out after Lin Wei said "my people" just now.

Jealousy is growing and spreading in my heart. In the past seven years, is it possible that I am the only one standing still?

It's not that Zhu Yu can't leave, but Fu Cizhou will be angry and unwilling.

Obviously I'm still here.

Obviously I didn't leave.

When they returned to the ward, Fu Yanting and Fu Beibei were both there. Fu Cizhou sat on the stool at the end of the bed and looked out the window.

It was the end of the new year, and their family returned to Yuanzhou. Fu Cizhou didn't expect grandma to have an accident suddenly, let alone meet Zhu Yu here.

The person he had been looking for for so many years intentionally or unintentionally, was actually at his doorstep.

Fu Cizhou closed his eyes, not knowing what it was like.

"Where's Xiao Yu?" Fu Beibei sat down beside Fu Cizhou and asked in a low voice.

Fu Cizhou didn't want to speak, but turned his head to the side again.

"Xiaozhou," Fu Beibei pulled Fu Cizhou's sleeve, "what are you doing here? Go and have a good talk with Xiaoyu..."

"What?" Fu Cizhou's voice was a little tired.

Fu Beibei pursed her lips, her eyes were full of worry.

Fu Cizhou glanced at the sleeping grandma on the bed, and said, "Whether I say it or not, he will be responsible to grandma..."

"That's not what I want to talk about," Fu Beibei choked up, "I'm talking about you two..."

Fu Yanting glanced over, Fu Beibei paused, but continued: "Go and find Xiao Yu."

Fu Yanting frowned, and was pushed out of the ward by Zhong Yan before he could speak.

"It's been seven years, please let them go." Zhong Yan begged.

Fu Yanting didn't speak, he glanced at Zhong Yan, then turned and left.

After Zhu Yu was taken away by Lin Wei, he did not stay long in the inpatient department.

The two went straight to the underground parking lot. It was empty and deserted, and it was a good place to vent their calmness.

Lin Wei leaned against the front of the car, lit a cigarette with the lighter, and smoked it slowly between his fingers.

He looked down at Zhu Yu squatting aside in a daze, his legs became numb after squatting for a long time, so he simply sat on the ground.

"Dirty or not?" Lin Wei bit the cigarette ash in distaste.

Zhu Yu didn't raise his head, as if immersed in his own world, silent.

"Where are you going?" Lin Wei squatted in front of him, "You can't even catch your breath when you see someone?"

Zhu Yu raised his eyes slightly to meet Lin Wei's. The smell of cigarettes on his body was so strong that he frowned and turned his head away.

Lin Wei sneered and stubbed out the cigarette butt: "Student, are you so excited to see your ex-boyfriend? Are you going to get back together and kick me away?"

Zhu Yu moved his dry lips, and said hoarsely, "I have no right to kick you away,"

Lin Wei was amused by Zhu Yu's words: "Okay, you don't treat me like a human being?"

"No," Zhu Yu stood up slowly while supporting his knees, "It's because you don't treat me like a human being."

Lin Wei stood in front of him, waiting with great interest for Zhu Yu's next words.

"If you treat me as a human being, you won't still be insincere after I refuse countless times." Zhu Yu seemed a little tired, walked to the side of the car and held the door, "Your life is so smooth, once you meet Frustration, you will think about eradicating it. I am the frustration that you can't solve."

With a "bang", Zhu Yu was pushed by Lin Wei, and his back was pressed against the car door.

"It took me seven years to eradicate a setback?" Lin Wei bit the filter and leaned closer, "Is it true that no one in this world can be interested in you except Fu Cizhou?"

His lips twitched as he spoke, and the soot shivered slightly.

Seeing Zhu Yu's disgusted face, Lin Wei raised his hand and took off the cigarette.

"Do you think he really likes you?" Lin Wei squeezed Zhu Yu's chin, "Is it you that he likes?"

Zhu Yu's fingertips trembled, and he tilted his head to open Lin Wei's hand.

"Who doesn't like a cute 17-year-old who is alive and kicking?" Lin Wei blocked Zhu Yu's way with his arm, and continued, "But look at your appearance now, how is it the same as that at that time? Are you the original one?" Zhu Yu? Does he still like you?"

Zhu Yu looked at Lin Wei, his breathing became a little messy.

"Are you avoiding for fear of disappointment?" Lin Wei approached and asked, "Are you planning to go back to him and continue acting? Be that cute, lively and cheerful 'Zhu Yu'?"

Zhu Yu's eyelashes trembled, but he calmed down quickly: "Lin Wei, you shouldn't irritate me with what I told you, you can easily make my condition worse..."

"Wouldn't that be better?" Lin Wei chuckled, "It's so serious that it's best if you see him in physical discomfort."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yu grabbed his collar and pushed back to remove the hood of the car.

"Lin Wei, it doesn't matter if you save my life, even if you kill me. But since you have entered this industry, you still have to abide by the most basic principles. If you let me know that you used this identity..."

He spoke halfway aggressively, but stopped midway.

"You won't," Zhu Yu let go of Lin Wei in a daze, "You're provoking me again."

Lin Wei spat bloody foam, leaned against the car and laughed loudly: "What's the matter with this passionate sense of justice? Zhu Yu, you are really... so deceitful."

Zhu Yu closed his eyes, too lazy to listen to this man's nonsense.

Although Lin Wei is always on the loose, he is still a relatively principled person.

Otherwise, Zhu Yu wouldn't have spent so many years with a bad person and still haven't seen his true nature.

"But I'm really interested in you." Lin Wei smiled enough, and then looked at Zhu Yu seriously, "I haven't been in a relationship for three years because of you. Doesn't that prove my sincerity?"

Zhu Yu glanced at him: "Your sincerity is really cheap."

The cell phone in his pocket vibrated, and Zhu Yu opened it to see that it was Zhu Qin's call.

It was almost noon, and Zhu Qin was going to buy some new year's goods and go back.

"My dad came to pick me up from the hospital," Zhu Yu hung up the phone and walked to the elevator, "You can go by yourself."

In the past few years, Zhu Qin has been living in his hometown, saying that he will live there for a while after Zhu Yu's work location is settled.

Now Zhu Yu has been working for almost two years and bought a house in Yuanzhou. Zhu Qin rushed over today and is planning to celebrate the New Year in Yuanzhou.

The father and son had a meal, went shopping together and bought a lot of New Year's goods to go back.

Zhu Yu did half of the cleaning at home, and had to go back to work at the hospital at six o'clock.

Before going out, he hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell Zhu Qin about Fu Cizhou.

Over the years, Zhu Qin seemed to know that Zhu Yu couldn't let go, and he didn't urge others to find a partner like other parents.

Time can create a gap, and naturally it can also bring the relationship closer.

During those endless nights, there was such a father who supported Zhu Yu to go on.

"When do you get off work?" Zhu Qin sent Zhu Yu outside the door.

"Night shift, come back at nine tomorrow morning." Zhu Yu said.

Zhu Qin nodded: "Slow down on the road."

The sensor light in the corridor was on and off, but the door of the house was always open, shining a small piece of warm orange light.

Until Zhu Yu walked into the elevator, the light was still on.

"Dad," Zhu Yu pushed the elevator open again, "close the door."

"Hey," Zhu Qin's voice came from the door, "you go, I'll close it."

Zhu Yu stepped into the elevator again and didn't close the door until the elevator door closed.

Zhu Qin waited at the door, waiting for him to get on the elevator.

As night falls, Wanjia lights are warm and bright.

Zhu Yu recalled his more than 20 years, and found that he felt at home today.

He turned around, backed up and counted the corresponding floors of his house.

Now someone is waiting for him at home.

Rushing to the hospital to take over the patient, Zhu Yu first wrote down the progress record for a while, until someone knocked on the door, and then stopped writing and said "please come in".

The patient in a certain bed feels uncomfortable, and the family members in a certain bed feel that something is wrong.

Zhu Yu ran a few beds, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

It's just that I bumped into Fu Beibei by chance on the road, and the two met their eyes and nodded without saying anything.

Zhu Yu was still a little confused. Although he only got along with this sister-in-law for less than half a day, she could be regarded as the first elder who knew about his relationship with Fu Cizhou.

At that time, Fu Beibei took them to meet her boyfriend, and the person who is with her now does not know if it is the same person.

Until the evening, Zhu Yu packed up his emotions and had to knock on grandma's single ward.

Fortunately, Fu Cizhou was not there, and only Fu Beibei was by the bedside.

"How is the patient's condition?" Zhu Yu's voice was very flat and soft, as if it was a routine.

Fu Beibei stood up quickly, and the sleeping grandma also opened her eyes.

Caught off guard, Zhu Yu subconsciously looked away.

I don't know if it's because of the pain, but I haven't seen my grandma for seven years, and I seem to have aged a lot.

The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes stretched back, and when she saw Zhu Yu, she smiled with a pair of curved eyelashes.

"Xiao Yu," she gently raised her hand, and Zhu Yu bent over to support her firmly, "Where did you play with Xiao Zhou again?"

These words seemed to tug at Zhu Yu's thoughts, bringing everything back to the New Year's Eve seven years ago.

He and Fu Cizhou kissed under the bridge, and when they got home, they heard the sound of "hua la hua la" mahjong.

At that time, grandma asked him the same way.

"Where did you two go to play again?"

There is no way to answer this question, Zhu Yu's Adam's apple rolled up and down, but he just said "hmm" as a response.

Fu Beibei couldn't bear to look any longer, and turned her face away quietly.

"Where's Xiaozhou?" Grandma asked again.

Zhu Yu's voice became hoarse, and he answered vaguely: "I don't know."

"Why are your eyes red?" She was lying on the bed, trying to lean up, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaozhou? Did he feel wronged by you?"

"No," Zhu Yu held grandma's hand, feeling a tightness in his throat, "No one... will make me suffer."

Fu Beibei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, got up and left the ward.

"How did you do in the exam? Is your father okay?" Grandma asked again.

"Everything is fine..." Zhu Yu squatted beside the bed, resting his forehead on the back of grandma's hand.

Under a sentence of inquiries that seemed to span time, the warmth of the past flooded into his heart.

The rice bowl is always full, the sweet corn pork rib soup served by Zhong Yan, the sound of mahjong on New Year's Eve, and Fu Beibei's size,

He couldn't control his emotions, sobbing softly.

"I've been wronged..." Grandma raised her hand and gently stroked Zhu Yu's hair, "Grandma, pat, don't feel wronged..."

"Hmm..." Zhu Yu breathed slowly and adjusted his mood, "Now...it's okay..."

Compared with when we first separated seven years ago, it is much better now.

The days are getting better and better, when you fall to the bottom, there are times when you slowly climb up.

"My dad and I are fine..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft "creak", and the ward was suddenly opened from the outside.

Zhu Yu hurriedly lowered his head to force back the sourness in his eyes, stood up and looked back, it was Fu Cizhou.

"Where have you been?" Grandma looked at Fu Cizhou who had walked to the window, Xingshi asked, "Did you bully Xiaoyu?"

Fu Cizhou glanced at Zhu Yu, but did not refute: "Yes."

Zhu Yu turned his face away, and put his hands into the pockets of his white coat uncomfortably.

What kind of person is Fu Cizhou bullying him? Even if people from all over the world come to bully him, Fu Cizhou will not.

"You," grandma raised her hand with difficulty, pointing at Fu Cizhou bitterly, "what can you do!"

"Lie down." Zhu Yu pressed down on grandma's arm, and arranged the wires stuck in the hospital gown.

He turned to face Fu Cizhou, lowered his head, and did not look at him: "Don't let the patient move."

Zhu Yu roughly checked the values ​​and left after confirming that the patient was normal.

Standing outside the ward, Fu Beibei put down her phone when she saw Zhu Yu coming out.

"It's recovering very well," Zhu Yu closed the door and said to Fu Beibei, "Let's take care of it first."

Fu Beibei nodded, hesitated for a moment and said: "Xiao Yu..."

The door was opened again by Fu Cizhou, and Fu Beibei swallowed back her words.

"I'll just go in and watch," Fu Beibei quickly gave way, and pushed Fu Cizhou out when she entered the room, "Go and do what you should do."

She spoke in a hurry, and the door closed in a hurry.

Zhu Yu didn't have time to leave, and it was very embarrassing to stand aside.

Fu Cizhou was not reckless this time, looked at Zhu Yu and said, "Can we talk?"

Zhu Yu nodded lightly, turned around and left first.
