Subduing Dragon
Chapter 19: There will be a period later
Staring directly at Irene in a daze, three thoughts flashed through his mind, the first thought being: getting fat.
Irene has indeed gained weight, but the fat is very limited, and all the plumpness is on the cheeks.This makes her nose look not so high, eye sockets not so deep, at first glance she is really a [-]% oriental beauty.She seems to be very aware of her own beauty, deliberately using red lips to set off her white skin and big eyes, her black hair is tied high into a heavy bun, and there is a small white bead flower perched on the bun .
So Lu Sheng's second thought was: become beautiful.
This second thought made Lusheng subconsciously want to greet her with a smile, but before he could say a word, a third thought popped up: she was Man Shucai's daughter.
The third thought was the most powerful, her identity canceled out all her beauty at once.Lu Sheng knew she was innocent, but he felt a chill in his heart, and the smile that was about to reveal just now turned into a sneer.Nodding slightly to Irene, he said flatly, "Miss Man, long time no see."
With two white arms wrapped around her chest, Irene stared at Lusheng thoughtfully, and at the same time said calmly, "Yeah, long time no see. You—" she frowned, flicking her eyelashes, Quickly inspecting Lu Sheng's image, "Is this just from Beijing?"
Lu Sheng replied politely: "I have been away from Beijing for a long time."
Irene pressed her lower lip with an index finger, and there was light and shadow flickering in her clear gray pupils, "You didn't go back to your hometown to get married, did you?"
After saying this, she grinned abruptly, loudly, as if deliberately trying to scare someone, "Haha, I didn't expect that although Mistabai is completely Western-style on the outside, his inner thoughts are still Chinese. All in all, congratulations, please say hello to your new wife for me."
Lu Sheng replied in a low voice, "I didn't go back to my hometown, nor did I get married."
As soon as these words came out, Irene took a step back.The number of fingers touching her lower lip increased, and she almost covered her mouth and said again, "Then... I am very interested in your experience in the past two years. We must meet tomorrow, and I want you to share this Tell me about the two years, okay?"
Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I will live here, you can come to me anytime."
Irene moved four fingers away from her red lips, and made a playful gesture at Lusheng. After saying "Goodbye", she turned around on tiptoe, as if about to dance a ballet, Jumping down the stairs.Immediately, she took her companion's arm, she seemed to have completely forgotten about Lu Sheng, immediately started a new joke, and left without looking back.
After she left, Lu Sheng went straight into the restaurant, feeling very surprised.He almost felt that he and Irene were destined to meet each other in unexpected places.Except for Longxiang and Yaya, Lu Sheng seldom has feelings for outsiders, but he does have a good impression of Irene, and he even likes it a little - he doesn't miss him when he sees her, but he feels fond of her when he sees her Pleasure, this is Lu Sheng's "like".
Lu Sheng didn't expect that on the next afternoon, Miss Irene really came, and she came in all her clothes.Not only was her bun towering like a black crown, but she was also wearing a goose yellow tulle dress.Under the yellow gauze is a layer of silver petticoat, the silver light shines out, matching her snow-white skin, it is really like a golden dress.Guided by the attendant, she stepped into Lu Sheng's guest room. She held her head high and her eyelids drooped, like a hostile peacock. In a straight line, as if ready to overlook all living beings at any time.
Seeing her brand-new demeanor, Lu Sheng was a little puzzled.He got up and nodded to her, then he turned and walked to the window, poured tea, and invited her to sit on the sofa chair by the table.Picking up a cup of hot tea and turning to her with a smile, Lu Sheng said, "I don't know if you'd like to drink the rough tea here. If you're not very thirsty, let's go out and find a place for coffee later."
Irene didn't seem to be quite used to her new posture either, she turned her head stiffly, and she looked out the window and replied, "I don't know if I'm taking the liberty of coming—doesn't Mistabai have an appointment today?"
When Lu Sheng saw that she had no expression on her face when she spoke, she was not usually aloof and glamorous, and became more and more puzzled in her heart, not knowing what she was trying to do with such a gesture.I definitely didn't ask her to come to the door yesterday, she came today purely voluntarily.That being the case, why do you have to ignore yourself like a queen or a woman with lofty ideals?
"Of course I don't have an appointment." Lu Sheng smiled habitually, "I'm an acquaintance in Tianjin, and I don't have any friends. Who will ask me out?" He pointed to the sofa chair, "Sit down first. Xiexie, I really didn't expect to meet you here. Even if it's not summer vacation yet, you didn't go to school?"
Irene took a step towards the sofa chair, and suddenly found that she had forgotten how to walk under Lu Sheng's gaze.Walking to the sofa chair with one hand and one foot, she turned her skirt into a bright golden flower with a light turn.Unexpectedly, thin heels don't make faces, and when they hit the ground, they turned sideways.She screamed in surprise and swung her arms to keep her balance. She swung her arms five or six times quickly, and even the small patent leather bag in her hand flew out, but the balance still abandoned her.As soon as her butt fell into the sofa chair, she heard a thud, it was the old spring of the sofa chair that couldn't bear the weight of her buttocks, and she protested when she wanted to break.Still in shock, she pressed the handrail and raised her head, and she had a very close face-to-face with Lu Sheng.Lu Sheng leaned slightly and looked directly at her, stretched out a hand to hold her arm weakly, and asked at the same time: "Are you all right?"
Irene blushed a little, she looked calm, but she was about to cry—she was going to surprise Lusheng today, but who knew that Lusheng was not surprised, she was surprised first, and whether she was gorgeous enough or not have no idea.This person comes and goes without a trace, one day I can't control him, and tomorrow he runs away again, so what should I do?
Taking a deep breath calmly, she lowered her head and replied, "It's okay."
Lu Sheng didn't understand the secrets of modern women, and Irene said she was fine, so he stopped asking, went to the side and squatted down, first picked up the patent leather bag that was dropped with its mouth open.This patent leather bag is unrestrained, spit out the contents of the stomach all over the floor, there are lipstick, powder mirror and chewing gum.Irene wiped away tears quickly, then raised her eyes to look at Lusheng.Lu Sheng picked up those gadgets one by one and put them into the patent leather bag.He has a good figure, and even when he squats, his arms and legs are still legs, and every bend and bend has a clear angle, which is by no means comparable to that group of weak dudes.Irene didn't admire him because of his long arms and legs, and it wasn't that she had never seen a handsome face before. Irene was also a little confused why she was so persistent in "amazing" him.
At this moment, Lu Sheng turned his head and shook the long-handled small powder mirror at him, "It's broken."
Irene didn't expect him to talk to her suddenly, she was taken aback, "It's broken...it doesn't matter."
Lusheng stood up, first lightly threw the small powder mirror into the wastebasket in the corner, then walked back and handed the patent leather bag to Irene, and said softly: "If it is broken, I don't want it anymore, I will buy you a new one when I go out." Yes. Look, everything is missing?"
Irene lowered her head, and tucked the patent leather bag to her side, "All, there were only a few things." Then she took a deep breath, twisted her neck gracefully, and put a The face that regained its color turned to Lu Sheng, "Mister Bai, when we watched the sports meeting together that year, I was studying in a girls' high school; now three years have passed, shouldn't I be allowed to graduate?"
Lu Sheng pulled the chair and sat down opposite her. After hearing what she said, he couldn't help but laugh, "It's been three years? It's really fast."
Erin seized the opportunity, raised her finger half playfully and half proudly and smiled, "Three years, how much have I changed?"
Lusheng also smiled calmly, "You must be happy after listening to me. I think you have become more beautiful, really. I think this is probably called the Eighteenth Change of the Female University."
Irene smiled sweetly, and there was another red lip in her heart, which was open and laughing.
"From what you say, it seems like I was ugly before." She gradually lost her peacock temperament and regained some normal humanness.
Lu Sheng shook his head, "You were skinny back then, I think you look like a Westerner and a Chinese, it always feels a bit strange; now that you've gained a little weight, you've become a complete oriental beauty."
Irene turned around, picked up the patent leather bag and put it on her lap, took out a small folding fan from it, unfolded it and shook it gently in front of her chest, waiting quietly for Lu Sheng to continue her boast—her admirers have always treated her It's a lot of praise, and I never give up after just a few words.
However, Lu Sheng gave up.
Not only did he give up, but he also changed the subject on his own initiative, "Do you usually live in Tianjin? Don't you go home in Beijing?"
Irene closed the fan resentfully, "I don't like the air at home, I've been living in Tianjin all year. What about you? Are you still working under Long Yunteng?"
Lu Sheng froze for a moment, "Who?"
Then he reacted.He always called Longxiang by his first name, and the word "Long Yunteng" was simply an unfamiliar symbol to him.But in today's world, apart from him, who else would dare to call him "Longxiang" in an open and fair manner?No, Irene called him Long Yunteng, which is considered rude.
"I've already left him too." He told Irene frankly.It's been a long time since he had an open and honest chat with anyone, and he even felt a little desire to tell, "I'm a jobless vagrant now, living in the south of the Yangtze River for a while with nothing to do, and I just returned to the north yesterday."
After the words fell, he raised his eyes to look at Irene, only to find that there was a little joy on Irene's face.
Irene was indeed happy, not because of anything else, but because Lu Sheng got rid of that Dragon Commander.In her eyes, Bai Lusheng was unparalleled in the world. How could such a good person be a jester to such a shady kid?She is the daughter of General Man, she has seen a lot of noblemen, and the word commander does not frighten her.
"About your future..." She smiled restrainedly, "If you need my help, please feel free to ask, and don't let anyone else see you. Although I don't have an official position, I can help you run errands, little Small face, I always have a little bit."
Lu Sheng nodded with a smile, thinking that he really has the destiny to become a wealthy son-in-law, but unfortunately this is not what I want, even if it is what I want, I can't marry Man Shucai's daughter.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved—yes, although Irene has no official position, she can help him run errands and lead him to Man Shucai.As long as I can see Man Shucai, the next step will be easy.Even if you don't know kung fu, can you still do it with a shot?
The thought made him shudder with horror.He thought this method was too vicious, it was not vicious towards Man Shu, but towards Irene.
However, it also looks too effective.
Looking at Irene with flickering eyes, Lu Sheng immediately turned away with a smile.Smile is the smile of a modest gentleman, but he is guilty of being a thief and dare not show his true colors to others.
The two went out side by side, and after receiving a small shiny round mirror, Irene followed Lu Sheng into a nearby cafe.At this time, she has completely lost the peacock smell, her waist is also soft, and her thin neck seems to be an inch shorter. Especially, she has retracted her chin, and no longer glances out from the corners of her eyes.The lost and recovered Mister Bai was sitting upright in front of her, holding a cup of hot coffee and trying to drink it, with a very peaceful and peaceful expression.
"Are you going to live in Tianjin permanently?" she asked.
Lu Sheng had just scalded his lips with hot coffee, and was concentrating on licking his lips to bear the pain. He suddenly heard Irene's question. He was negligent for a moment, forgot to smile, and looked up at her and replied: "Maybe."
Irene stared at him blankly, startled by his cold eyes.Then she remembered that one year in Dongjiaomin Lane, the second time she met him, she also saw such a cold face.Such a face is a little scary, but she has never been afraid of anyone, so his scary seems to have a special meaning.Well-fed and well-fed, she lived 20 years of doing nothing, needing a little adventure and excitement.
"Do you want to meet some new friends in Tianjin?" She raised her face challengingly, staring at Lu Sheng with her big eyes, "There will be a dance tomorrow night, and I would like to introduce my friends to you."
Lu Sheng turned to her inquiringly, "Prom?" Then he gently pushed the coffee cup that was in the way aside, "I don't know how to dance, so am I eligible to participate?"
Irene looked at him with a smile, listening to him talk about the country bumpkin again.Originally, she was the most demanding of men's knowledge and demeanor, but when dealing with the poor and lovely, cute and scary Mistabai, she was always very tolerant for some reason.She even thought that this is what Lu Sheng wanted, because he was different here.You can't play tricks on such a person, Irene thought, because if you are not careful, you may run away from him—don't say anything, anyone who talks nicely to him, he may disappear out of thin air, but only in a year or two does not appear.
He was not from her world, she could see.Therefore, she had to communicate with him in the simplest language without any misunderstanding or misunderstanding.
"It's called a dance, but it's just for everyone to get together and have fun. Those who want to dance can dance, and those who don't want to dance can just sit aside and talk and laugh. We are all very young people, how can there be so many people?" Rules? Besides, if you want to learn, I'll teach you tomorrow." At this point, she lowered her long eyelashes and took a sip of sherbet with a straw in her mouth.Lu Sheng stared at her rounded red lips and admitted that she was beautiful.Nothing but beauty.
After taking a mouthful of sherbet, Irene spoke again.This time, her voice was a little lower, because the next sentence was serious. If she said it to other male friends, those young people would all have imaginations.
She said: "It's a pity that I'm currently living in a relative's house, and it's not convenient to take my friends back. Otherwise, we can play the phonograph tonight, and we can practice first. When I have a house in Tianjin in the future, I will invite you to visit me." Bar."
After finishing speaking, she waited for Lu Sheng's next words.It is inconvenient for a woman to take a man home, so even if a man has no home himself, he will not let this topic go lightly.However, Lu Sheng was silent for a moment, and finally said softly: "To put it bluntly, we can also be regarded as 'meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country'?"
Irene tentatively asked: "Haven't you always regarded me as a friend?"
Lu Sheng pondered and replied: "To be honest, no."
Erin was taken aback for a moment.
Lu Sheng stared down at the light patterns on the tablecloth, and continued: "I have never had any friends. Since I was a child, I have always been with Commander Long in the Long family's house. He doesn't go out, and I don't go out either. We met on the train that year, and it was the first time for me to travel far away. After that parting, I thought I would never see you again." Then he raised his head and smiled faintly at Irene, "After the second parting, I I still thought we would never see each other again."
Irene twisted the straw with her fingers, and asked hesitantly: "After the third parting, do you still think..."
Lu Sheng nodded to her, "That's right."
Irene didn't figure out what he meant, so she hesitated and didn't know whether she should smile back at him, "Then how will you feel after we parted today?"
Lu Sheng replied: "Leave me your phone number. If you don't come to see me tomorrow, I'll call you—a relative's house. It's inconvenient to visit. Is it okay to call?"
Two stars bloomed into bright fireworks in Irene's eyes, making her entire face shimmer with brilliance.After going around and talking for a long time, she finally waited for the most crucial sentence.This person is really difficult to deal with!She actually spent so much thought just to trick him into asking for her phone number.Having said so much, she thought, he won't suddenly disappear again tomorrow, right?
She didn't expect him to drive a car to wait in front of her house like a gentleman, as long as he was willing to wait safely in the hotel room, she was satisfied.
Lusheng and Irene sat opposite each other in the cafe for several hours. Because both sides had their own concerns, it was difficult for them to speak, and every word seemed to be asking for directions.Irene especially took great pains, because she had deeply learned Mistabai's unique skill of leaving as soon as she said it.She couldn't tie Lu Sheng home with a rope, so she had to use her charm to tie him up with invisible iron chains.
But Lu Sheng obviously didn't have any love for her, and it's not bad to be bad - if it's really bad, it's better, so that she can give up early.
So Irene thought, this person is bad because of "not bad".
The two talked to the end in the cafe, changed to another restaurant, had a simple lunch, and then parted ways amicably.Lu Sheng stood by the side of the road, watching Irene leave in the rickshaw, his mind was in a mess, and there was only two words in the noise: I can't bear it.
A very good girl, with a beautiful appearance and a prime age.Lu Sheng is not romantic like this, but he is willing to compare her to a carefree flower.Man Shucai was indeed his enemy, but what did this girl do to him?She was nice to him, so maybe something went wrong?
Lu Sheng can't speak against his conscience, but unless he gets along with Irene, he will have no chance to come to Man Shucai.He wanted to kill that old guy so much, and he wanted to kill him so shockingly, it didn't even matter if he died together.Why?It's hard to say, maybe it's not just because of hatred.He wanted both revenge and proof.
He wanted to prove it to Long Xiang.He thought that if he died in this revenge, no matter how crazy and bastard Long Xiang was, he should have a little bit of regret, and he should also have a little bit of sudden realization.
Looking away from the street, Lu Sheng walked along the street to the restaurant.Directly in front of him, an elderly woman took a short, stocky little boy by the hand.The woman had a dignified and clean back, and her gray hair was tied into a meticulous bun at the back of her head.Looking at this figure from behind, Lu Sheng suddenly thought of Mother Chen.
Then that afternoon he ran to the post office and remitted 1000 yuan to Chen Ma.He knew that Chen Ma's life had always been good, her husband and son were dependable, and she wouldn't have to wait for his 1000 yuan to live on.He just wanted to report a letter to Chen Ma - the Long family should have known about his break with Long Xiang, and since he was gone forever, others didn't care, but Chen Ma, he thought, would miss him.
Send some money this year, and some more next year—if there is a next year.
In the evening of the next day, a dark green streamlined sports car parked in front of the National Hotel, and Irene in the car came out.
The dark green sports car drove Irene and Lu Sheng into the concession area.Lu Sheng followed Irene out of the car, and found that in front of him was a small Spanish-style two-story western-style building.The doors and windows on the ground floor were all wide open, and the evening breeze blew through the flowers, passing through the room seemingly without sight.Some young men and women ran out to meet Irene, Lu Sheng watched with great interest, even forgetting that he was one of the guests.
He had forgotten, but Irene hadn't.She suppressed her complacency and introduced Lu Sheng to everyone in front of her.Lu Sheng took a look around and immediately noticed that some young people looked wrong.Just now he was smiling at Irene, but now his nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes.Several gazes scraped him from head to toe like knives, and a voice rang out, "Is Mr. Bai new to Tianjin?"
Lu Sheng looked for the reputation and found that it was a handsome young man.Nodding to the young man, he replied in a low voice: "Yes."
The young man asked again: "Then may I ask where Mr. Bai is at the moment?"
Afraid of embarrassing Lu Sheng, Irene rushed to answer: "So he is a dragon—"
The conversation came to an abrupt end here, because Lu Sheng made a silent gesture to her.Irene subconsciously shut her mouth, and Lu Sheng followed her words to complete the answer, "I just arrived in Tianjin, and I don't have a job yet."
Everyone was silent for a moment, not because he was homeless and had no background, but because he dared to stop Irene from speaking, and Irene didn't get angry.
After a while, someone stretched out his hand to Lu Sheng and said with a smile, "Welcome to our small group."
Lu Sheng shook hands with this person, and at the same time made sure that he did not vote for this group - he should have voted, if he had always been the young master of the Shuaifu.It doesn't matter if you don't vote, it's also good to watch the excitement.I don't know if Long Xiang's bastard has learned these modern tricks of having a dance party and drinking coffee, anyway, he thinks that Yaya must not be used to it.Yaya is really not good at this aspect, no matter how she thinks about it, she can't stand on the stage.But it doesn't matter if she can't get on the stage, because she is Yaya.
Stepping into the building in a trance, he forced his mind back to the world in front of him.After taking a glass of dark beer from Irene, he and she sat on the couch in the corner of the living room.Irene turned her head to look at him, and saw him take a sip of the dark beer with his head down, then tighten his lips and frown.His hands are big and fair, with slender fingers, but there are faint small scars on the back of his hands.With such two hands holding the crystal clear glass, Irene felt that both the hands and the glass looked beautiful.
Lu Sheng noticed her gaze, so he turned his head and said to her, "Go and play with your friends, you don't have to stay with me."
After hearing this, Erin didn't know whether to be happy or angry.He condescendingly came to accompany him, but he told himself to "go ahead", it was really outrageous to be so confused.
Taking a sip of the champagne in her hand, she asked in a low voice, "Why aren't I allowed to mention your history to others?"
Lusheng lowered his head and looked at the faint white foam on the dark beer, "It's not a glorious history." Then he smiled wryly, and turned his face slightly to look at Irene, "Besides, no matter how you put it in a good way, In essence, I am just a servant of his family."
Irene couldn't stand listening anymore, and hastily retorted: "Don't underestimate yourself."
The urgent and sharp tone of her words caused a little surprise on Lu Sheng's face, and then he smiled at her sincerely.Lu Sheng turned his gaze forward, nodded to the dark beer, "Thank you, I'll listen to you."
After saying this, he glanced up at the person in front of him, then leaned back, and whispered, "That person likes you, right?"
Irene was startled, and then followed his gaze to see a familiar face, "Him? Don't pay attention to him, I hate him the most. Let him stare. Let's see how long he can stare at us."
Lu Sheng tilted his head towards her, and said in a low voice, "He's not the only one staring at us."
Irene let Lu Sheng approach her. She didn't feel offended, but rather pleased, "I don't care about these boring people. When the band comes, I'll teach you how to dance."
Irene and Luxon talked for an hour before the White Russian band arrived.A few jealous youths lingered around the two of them, pricking up their ears at the same time, and found that the content of the conversation between the two had no romantic elements. Pots and pans are necessary.Admirers never expected that Miss Irene, who is like a goddess, is quite ordinary. In her beautiful little head like a statue, she can calculate several financial accounts at the same time.The young people have no interest in financial accounts, and have been waiting for Mr. Bai to show his fox tail and release sweet words to Irene.But Mr. Bai is also considered a master. After talking slowly for an hour, he really did not cross the boundary between rent and pots and pans.
At midnight, Lu Sheng returned to the hotel.
He thought it was a worthwhile trip to this dance party.In terms of friends, he didn't meet a few new ones, and he received a lot of white eyes from the same sex, but he didn't care; in terms of knowledge, he felt that he had opened his eyes, especially when he learned to dance the waltz, and he danced very well.Irene has already booked him for tomorrow-tomorrow the two of them will look for a house together.Because he doesn't have the reason and capital to stay in a hotel for a long time, but she is familiar with the ground and has a sports car at her disposal.All is well, as long as you don't look behind you, don't think in the long run.
But Lusheng was never a fool, he couldn't help but think about it.When he thought about it, the sky became gloomy, and the beautiful sunset and the melodious music were other people's fun and had nothing to do with him.
But it doesn't matter, he has always been unhappy.Occasionally there is happiness, and it was all a few years ago, and it seems like a lifetime away when I recall it.
In the next half month, Lu Sheng rented an apartment on the third floor of a building.The apartment has three rooms inside and outside, which are not big, but enough for him to live alone.There is running water and a flush toilet in the room, and there is an elevator upstairs and downstairs outside the room. There is a street in front of the building, which is an office building shared by several foreign companies.All in all, this is a very "foreign" place.
On the day they moved in, Erin also came to help.She was wearing a white silk shirt and a navy blue skirt, with her long hair coiled up, and a pair of squeaking black high-heeled leather shoes.She looked like a Western female employee in the foreign firm opposite, showing a bit of shrewdness and calmness.Lusheng made the bed in the bedroom, so she stood in front of the wall next to the living room door, using a fountain pen to neatly copy small characters on the month card.When Lusheng walked out, she also finished her work.
Smiling and turning her hands back, she turned around lightly, causing the hem of her skirt to fly into a flower, "Look at what I wrote, how about it?"
Lu Sheng walked over to take a look and found that she had copied the phone numbers of the car dealership, dry cleaners, and surrounding vegetable restaurants into the blank space of the month plate.His eyes moved from the month plate to her pink face, and Lu Sheng was a little shocked - no one had thought of him like this for a long time.
When he got closer and looked at the small characters carefully, he said, "It seems that you don't look like a good student who loves to read, but your handwriting is really good, better than mine."
Erin shrugged, "I really don't know if you are criticizing me or praising me."
Lu Sheng turned to look at her, without explaining, just smiled.Irene looked at him, he didn't explain, and she didn't misunderstand, because even if he criticized her, she recognized it.In front of Lu Sheng, she was not competitive.What's the point of bullying him?He was already a lonely and poor child.
Irene was several years younger than him, but at some point, she naturally began to call him "the child" secretly.
After cleaning the three rooms, Lusheng and Irene went back to the hotel to check out and collect their luggage.His luggage is very simple, only a suitcase.Irene hated the sun, so she sat in the car and waited for him. While he was carrying the suitcase to complete the formalities, he turned around and was about to walk out the gate, when someone ran in panting and almost ran into his arms. inside.He immediately dodged to the side, but the man stopped and turned to him, politely, "Oh, sir, I'm sorry--" Having said that, the visitor suddenly took a step back, opened his eyes and looked at Lu Sheng again. , "Hey? Aren't you Young Master Bai?"
Lu Sheng looked at this man, and saw that he was also in his 20s, tall and strong, wearing a satin trousers and jacket, his head and face were neatly groomed, he almost looked like a young master.But in terms of appearance alone, he was indeed a stranger, at least Lu Sheng definitely didn't know him.
Seeing that Lu Sheng was just looking at him suspiciously, the man smiled and said: "This is really a coincidence. I came here to look for you, but just as I entered the door, I bumped into you—you Don’t you know me? My mother received the money you remitted to her a few days ago, and the old lady talked about it happily for several days. Just as I was planning to go to Beijing, she gave me the address on the remittance slip, so that I must find you and see if you are fat or thin now."
Hearing this, Lu Sheng suddenly felt a little warm in his heart, and there was a smile on his face, "Are you... Mama Chen's son? You, you are Brother Youyu?"
After asking this sentence, doubts appeared in his heart.Chen Ma didn't often talk about her family in front of Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng only remembered her mentioning "more than enough" several times.But neither he nor Long Xiang had ever met Yu Yu, because Yu Yu seemed to be more than ten years older than them, and he had started earning money to support his family many years ago, and he was a filial and mature son.But if the person in front of him is really Chen Youyu, then he can be said to be a master of beauty.A person in his forties can be so tender.
At this moment, the young man across from him smiled, "I am not Yu Yu, Yu Yu is my elder brother, and I am Youqing, Chen Youqing."
Lu Sheng was still a little confused.But after taking a closer look, he found that Chen Youqing's face was indeed a bit like the Chen family.And Chen Youqing continued to smile and said: "Where are you going? I'll take a look at you, and then I'll be able to do business when I get home. If you have something to do, just go and do it. Don't waste time because of me."
Lu Sheng immediately shook his head, "To tell you the truth, I've lived in this hotel for 20 days, and I'm going to move from here to the apartment today. If we hadn't met here, Tianjin Wei is so big, I'm afraid There is no chance for us to meet. How is Mama Chen?"
Chen Youqing replied: "She's fine." Then lowered her voice and said: "During the Chinese New Year, she heard that you had a falling out with the young master, and she was very worried about it. She was relieved after hearing about you a few days ago. Where are you going to move? Can you leave me an address?"
Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked back to the front desk, asked for a pen and paper from the waiter, and wrote down his apartment name and phone number.Handing these two items to Chen Youqing, he led the other party out of the hotel gate, and whispered again: "You can know it, don't tell others. Except for Chen Ma, I don't want to deal with the Long family anymore."
Chen Youqing nodded repeatedly as he folded the note and put it in his pocket.And Lu Sheng asked again: "You said you are going to Beijing this trip?"
Chen Youqing smiled, "I can't be idle, staying at home is causing trouble, so I went to Beijing to find the young master to see if I can get an errand to do it. Anyway, there are father and elder brother at home, and I have no wife, and there is no one when I go out." miss me."
When Lu Sheng heard this, he suddenly realized that he remembered!
He remembered that Chen Ma did indeed have a son named Youqing.But this Youqing was the illegitimate child brought back by Chen Ma's husband from outside, so Chen Ma never mentioned it to him, assuming that there was no child like him in the family.He looked Chen Youqing up and down again, he saw that this kid was born with alert features, and staying at home was indeed a bit wasteful; moreover, according to Lu Sheng's understanding of Chen Ma, he concluded that this Chen Youqing would not get much benefit at home. complexion.Reaching out his hand to take out the wallet from his trouser pocket, he took out 20 yuan, "I asked you to go to Tianjin specially, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Youqing looked down at the banknotes, then looked up at Lusheng, and smiled with straight white teeth.Both hands rubbed against the pants again, but they refused to reach out to take it.Seeing this, Lusheng simply put the money into his trouser pocket, "Say hello to Mama Chen for me. Also, when you arrive in Beijing, don't tell the people over there that I'm in Tianjin, remember?"
Chen Youqing covered his trouser pocket with his hands, and kept nodding with a smile.However, at this moment, a gust of fragrant wind sent a woman's voice over, "Mister Bai, have you met any friends?"
Lu Sheng looked around and saw Irene, who was dripping with sweat.Irene was shaking a small folding fan, and the fine black hair on her forehead was sticking to her skin wetly; the rouge on her cheeks seemed to have melted away, becoming a natural color on her face.And Irene's eyes turned from Lu Sheng's face to Chen Youqing, then covered her chin with a folding fan, and frowned slightly.When Lu Sheng looked at Chen Youqing again, he couldn't help frowning—Chen Youqing stared at Irene without blinking as if frightened—not staring, but staring!And opened his mouth slightly.I don't know if he sees Irene as beautiful, or as Irene as scary.
Lu Sheng felt that Chen Youqing's appearance was a bit embarrassing for him, although he and Chen Youqing had never been together.
Irene has indeed gained weight, but the fat is very limited, and all the plumpness is on the cheeks.This makes her nose look not so high, eye sockets not so deep, at first glance she is really a [-]% oriental beauty.She seems to be very aware of her own beauty, deliberately using red lips to set off her white skin and big eyes, her black hair is tied high into a heavy bun, and there is a small white bead flower perched on the bun .
So Lu Sheng's second thought was: become beautiful.
This second thought made Lusheng subconsciously want to greet her with a smile, but before he could say a word, a third thought popped up: she was Man Shucai's daughter.
The third thought was the most powerful, her identity canceled out all her beauty at once.Lu Sheng knew she was innocent, but he felt a chill in his heart, and the smile that was about to reveal just now turned into a sneer.Nodding slightly to Irene, he said flatly, "Miss Man, long time no see."
With two white arms wrapped around her chest, Irene stared at Lusheng thoughtfully, and at the same time said calmly, "Yeah, long time no see. You—" she frowned, flicking her eyelashes, Quickly inspecting Lu Sheng's image, "Is this just from Beijing?"
Lu Sheng replied politely: "I have been away from Beijing for a long time."
Irene pressed her lower lip with an index finger, and there was light and shadow flickering in her clear gray pupils, "You didn't go back to your hometown to get married, did you?"
After saying this, she grinned abruptly, loudly, as if deliberately trying to scare someone, "Haha, I didn't expect that although Mistabai is completely Western-style on the outside, his inner thoughts are still Chinese. All in all, congratulations, please say hello to your new wife for me."
Lu Sheng replied in a low voice, "I didn't go back to my hometown, nor did I get married."
As soon as these words came out, Irene took a step back.The number of fingers touching her lower lip increased, and she almost covered her mouth and said again, "Then... I am very interested in your experience in the past two years. We must meet tomorrow, and I want you to share this Tell me about the two years, okay?"
Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I will live here, you can come to me anytime."
Irene moved four fingers away from her red lips, and made a playful gesture at Lusheng. After saying "Goodbye", she turned around on tiptoe, as if about to dance a ballet, Jumping down the stairs.Immediately, she took her companion's arm, she seemed to have completely forgotten about Lu Sheng, immediately started a new joke, and left without looking back.
After she left, Lu Sheng went straight into the restaurant, feeling very surprised.He almost felt that he and Irene were destined to meet each other in unexpected places.Except for Longxiang and Yaya, Lu Sheng seldom has feelings for outsiders, but he does have a good impression of Irene, and he even likes it a little - he doesn't miss him when he sees her, but he feels fond of her when he sees her Pleasure, this is Lu Sheng's "like".
Lu Sheng didn't expect that on the next afternoon, Miss Irene really came, and she came in all her clothes.Not only was her bun towering like a black crown, but she was also wearing a goose yellow tulle dress.Under the yellow gauze is a layer of silver petticoat, the silver light shines out, matching her snow-white skin, it is really like a golden dress.Guided by the attendant, she stepped into Lu Sheng's guest room. She held her head high and her eyelids drooped, like a hostile peacock. In a straight line, as if ready to overlook all living beings at any time.
Seeing her brand-new demeanor, Lu Sheng was a little puzzled.He got up and nodded to her, then he turned and walked to the window, poured tea, and invited her to sit on the sofa chair by the table.Picking up a cup of hot tea and turning to her with a smile, Lu Sheng said, "I don't know if you'd like to drink the rough tea here. If you're not very thirsty, let's go out and find a place for coffee later."
Irene didn't seem to be quite used to her new posture either, she turned her head stiffly, and she looked out the window and replied, "I don't know if I'm taking the liberty of coming—doesn't Mistabai have an appointment today?"
When Lu Sheng saw that she had no expression on her face when she spoke, she was not usually aloof and glamorous, and became more and more puzzled in her heart, not knowing what she was trying to do with such a gesture.I definitely didn't ask her to come to the door yesterday, she came today purely voluntarily.That being the case, why do you have to ignore yourself like a queen or a woman with lofty ideals?
"Of course I don't have an appointment." Lu Sheng smiled habitually, "I'm an acquaintance in Tianjin, and I don't have any friends. Who will ask me out?" He pointed to the sofa chair, "Sit down first. Xiexie, I really didn't expect to meet you here. Even if it's not summer vacation yet, you didn't go to school?"
Irene took a step towards the sofa chair, and suddenly found that she had forgotten how to walk under Lu Sheng's gaze.Walking to the sofa chair with one hand and one foot, she turned her skirt into a bright golden flower with a light turn.Unexpectedly, thin heels don't make faces, and when they hit the ground, they turned sideways.She screamed in surprise and swung her arms to keep her balance. She swung her arms five or six times quickly, and even the small patent leather bag in her hand flew out, but the balance still abandoned her.As soon as her butt fell into the sofa chair, she heard a thud, it was the old spring of the sofa chair that couldn't bear the weight of her buttocks, and she protested when she wanted to break.Still in shock, she pressed the handrail and raised her head, and she had a very close face-to-face with Lu Sheng.Lu Sheng leaned slightly and looked directly at her, stretched out a hand to hold her arm weakly, and asked at the same time: "Are you all right?"
Irene blushed a little, she looked calm, but she was about to cry—she was going to surprise Lusheng today, but who knew that Lusheng was not surprised, she was surprised first, and whether she was gorgeous enough or not have no idea.This person comes and goes without a trace, one day I can't control him, and tomorrow he runs away again, so what should I do?
Taking a deep breath calmly, she lowered her head and replied, "It's okay."
Lu Sheng didn't understand the secrets of modern women, and Irene said she was fine, so he stopped asking, went to the side and squatted down, first picked up the patent leather bag that was dropped with its mouth open.This patent leather bag is unrestrained, spit out the contents of the stomach all over the floor, there are lipstick, powder mirror and chewing gum.Irene wiped away tears quickly, then raised her eyes to look at Lusheng.Lu Sheng picked up those gadgets one by one and put them into the patent leather bag.He has a good figure, and even when he squats, his arms and legs are still legs, and every bend and bend has a clear angle, which is by no means comparable to that group of weak dudes.Irene didn't admire him because of his long arms and legs, and it wasn't that she had never seen a handsome face before. Irene was also a little confused why she was so persistent in "amazing" him.
At this moment, Lu Sheng turned his head and shook the long-handled small powder mirror at him, "It's broken."
Irene didn't expect him to talk to her suddenly, she was taken aback, "It's broken...it doesn't matter."
Lusheng stood up, first lightly threw the small powder mirror into the wastebasket in the corner, then walked back and handed the patent leather bag to Irene, and said softly: "If it is broken, I don't want it anymore, I will buy you a new one when I go out." Yes. Look, everything is missing?"
Irene lowered her head, and tucked the patent leather bag to her side, "All, there were only a few things." Then she took a deep breath, twisted her neck gracefully, and put a The face that regained its color turned to Lu Sheng, "Mister Bai, when we watched the sports meeting together that year, I was studying in a girls' high school; now three years have passed, shouldn't I be allowed to graduate?"
Lu Sheng pulled the chair and sat down opposite her. After hearing what she said, he couldn't help but laugh, "It's been three years? It's really fast."
Erin seized the opportunity, raised her finger half playfully and half proudly and smiled, "Three years, how much have I changed?"
Lusheng also smiled calmly, "You must be happy after listening to me. I think you have become more beautiful, really. I think this is probably called the Eighteenth Change of the Female University."
Irene smiled sweetly, and there was another red lip in her heart, which was open and laughing.
"From what you say, it seems like I was ugly before." She gradually lost her peacock temperament and regained some normal humanness.
Lu Sheng shook his head, "You were skinny back then, I think you look like a Westerner and a Chinese, it always feels a bit strange; now that you've gained a little weight, you've become a complete oriental beauty."
Irene turned around, picked up the patent leather bag and put it on her lap, took out a small folding fan from it, unfolded it and shook it gently in front of her chest, waiting quietly for Lu Sheng to continue her boast—her admirers have always treated her It's a lot of praise, and I never give up after just a few words.
However, Lu Sheng gave up.
Not only did he give up, but he also changed the subject on his own initiative, "Do you usually live in Tianjin? Don't you go home in Beijing?"
Irene closed the fan resentfully, "I don't like the air at home, I've been living in Tianjin all year. What about you? Are you still working under Long Yunteng?"
Lu Sheng froze for a moment, "Who?"
Then he reacted.He always called Longxiang by his first name, and the word "Long Yunteng" was simply an unfamiliar symbol to him.But in today's world, apart from him, who else would dare to call him "Longxiang" in an open and fair manner?No, Irene called him Long Yunteng, which is considered rude.
"I've already left him too." He told Irene frankly.It's been a long time since he had an open and honest chat with anyone, and he even felt a little desire to tell, "I'm a jobless vagrant now, living in the south of the Yangtze River for a while with nothing to do, and I just returned to the north yesterday."
After the words fell, he raised his eyes to look at Irene, only to find that there was a little joy on Irene's face.
Irene was indeed happy, not because of anything else, but because Lu Sheng got rid of that Dragon Commander.In her eyes, Bai Lusheng was unparalleled in the world. How could such a good person be a jester to such a shady kid?She is the daughter of General Man, she has seen a lot of noblemen, and the word commander does not frighten her.
"About your future..." She smiled restrainedly, "If you need my help, please feel free to ask, and don't let anyone else see you. Although I don't have an official position, I can help you run errands, little Small face, I always have a little bit."
Lu Sheng nodded with a smile, thinking that he really has the destiny to become a wealthy son-in-law, but unfortunately this is not what I want, even if it is what I want, I can't marry Man Shucai's daughter.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved—yes, although Irene has no official position, she can help him run errands and lead him to Man Shucai.As long as I can see Man Shucai, the next step will be easy.Even if you don't know kung fu, can you still do it with a shot?
The thought made him shudder with horror.He thought this method was too vicious, it was not vicious towards Man Shu, but towards Irene.
However, it also looks too effective.
Looking at Irene with flickering eyes, Lu Sheng immediately turned away with a smile.Smile is the smile of a modest gentleman, but he is guilty of being a thief and dare not show his true colors to others.
The two went out side by side, and after receiving a small shiny round mirror, Irene followed Lu Sheng into a nearby cafe.At this time, she has completely lost the peacock smell, her waist is also soft, and her thin neck seems to be an inch shorter. Especially, she has retracted her chin, and no longer glances out from the corners of her eyes.The lost and recovered Mister Bai was sitting upright in front of her, holding a cup of hot coffee and trying to drink it, with a very peaceful and peaceful expression.
"Are you going to live in Tianjin permanently?" she asked.
Lu Sheng had just scalded his lips with hot coffee, and was concentrating on licking his lips to bear the pain. He suddenly heard Irene's question. He was negligent for a moment, forgot to smile, and looked up at her and replied: "Maybe."
Irene stared at him blankly, startled by his cold eyes.Then she remembered that one year in Dongjiaomin Lane, the second time she met him, she also saw such a cold face.Such a face is a little scary, but she has never been afraid of anyone, so his scary seems to have a special meaning.Well-fed and well-fed, she lived 20 years of doing nothing, needing a little adventure and excitement.
"Do you want to meet some new friends in Tianjin?" She raised her face challengingly, staring at Lu Sheng with her big eyes, "There will be a dance tomorrow night, and I would like to introduce my friends to you."
Lu Sheng turned to her inquiringly, "Prom?" Then he gently pushed the coffee cup that was in the way aside, "I don't know how to dance, so am I eligible to participate?"
Irene looked at him with a smile, listening to him talk about the country bumpkin again.Originally, she was the most demanding of men's knowledge and demeanor, but when dealing with the poor and lovely, cute and scary Mistabai, she was always very tolerant for some reason.She even thought that this is what Lu Sheng wanted, because he was different here.You can't play tricks on such a person, Irene thought, because if you are not careful, you may run away from him—don't say anything, anyone who talks nicely to him, he may disappear out of thin air, but only in a year or two does not appear.
He was not from her world, she could see.Therefore, she had to communicate with him in the simplest language without any misunderstanding or misunderstanding.
"It's called a dance, but it's just for everyone to get together and have fun. Those who want to dance can dance, and those who don't want to dance can just sit aside and talk and laugh. We are all very young people, how can there be so many people?" Rules? Besides, if you want to learn, I'll teach you tomorrow." At this point, she lowered her long eyelashes and took a sip of sherbet with a straw in her mouth.Lu Sheng stared at her rounded red lips and admitted that she was beautiful.Nothing but beauty.
After taking a mouthful of sherbet, Irene spoke again.This time, her voice was a little lower, because the next sentence was serious. If she said it to other male friends, those young people would all have imaginations.
She said: "It's a pity that I'm currently living in a relative's house, and it's not convenient to take my friends back. Otherwise, we can play the phonograph tonight, and we can practice first. When I have a house in Tianjin in the future, I will invite you to visit me." Bar."
After finishing speaking, she waited for Lu Sheng's next words.It is inconvenient for a woman to take a man home, so even if a man has no home himself, he will not let this topic go lightly.However, Lu Sheng was silent for a moment, and finally said softly: "To put it bluntly, we can also be regarded as 'meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country'?"
Irene tentatively asked: "Haven't you always regarded me as a friend?"
Lu Sheng pondered and replied: "To be honest, no."
Erin was taken aback for a moment.
Lu Sheng stared down at the light patterns on the tablecloth, and continued: "I have never had any friends. Since I was a child, I have always been with Commander Long in the Long family's house. He doesn't go out, and I don't go out either. We met on the train that year, and it was the first time for me to travel far away. After that parting, I thought I would never see you again." Then he raised his head and smiled faintly at Irene, "After the second parting, I I still thought we would never see each other again."
Irene twisted the straw with her fingers, and asked hesitantly: "After the third parting, do you still think..."
Lu Sheng nodded to her, "That's right."
Irene didn't figure out what he meant, so she hesitated and didn't know whether she should smile back at him, "Then how will you feel after we parted today?"
Lu Sheng replied: "Leave me your phone number. If you don't come to see me tomorrow, I'll call you—a relative's house. It's inconvenient to visit. Is it okay to call?"
Two stars bloomed into bright fireworks in Irene's eyes, making her entire face shimmer with brilliance.After going around and talking for a long time, she finally waited for the most crucial sentence.This person is really difficult to deal with!She actually spent so much thought just to trick him into asking for her phone number.Having said so much, she thought, he won't suddenly disappear again tomorrow, right?
She didn't expect him to drive a car to wait in front of her house like a gentleman, as long as he was willing to wait safely in the hotel room, she was satisfied.
Lusheng and Irene sat opposite each other in the cafe for several hours. Because both sides had their own concerns, it was difficult for them to speak, and every word seemed to be asking for directions.Irene especially took great pains, because she had deeply learned Mistabai's unique skill of leaving as soon as she said it.She couldn't tie Lu Sheng home with a rope, so she had to use her charm to tie him up with invisible iron chains.
But Lu Sheng obviously didn't have any love for her, and it's not bad to be bad - if it's really bad, it's better, so that she can give up early.
So Irene thought, this person is bad because of "not bad".
The two talked to the end in the cafe, changed to another restaurant, had a simple lunch, and then parted ways amicably.Lu Sheng stood by the side of the road, watching Irene leave in the rickshaw, his mind was in a mess, and there was only two words in the noise: I can't bear it.
A very good girl, with a beautiful appearance and a prime age.Lu Sheng is not romantic like this, but he is willing to compare her to a carefree flower.Man Shucai was indeed his enemy, but what did this girl do to him?She was nice to him, so maybe something went wrong?
Lu Sheng can't speak against his conscience, but unless he gets along with Irene, he will have no chance to come to Man Shucai.He wanted to kill that old guy so much, and he wanted to kill him so shockingly, it didn't even matter if he died together.Why?It's hard to say, maybe it's not just because of hatred.He wanted both revenge and proof.
He wanted to prove it to Long Xiang.He thought that if he died in this revenge, no matter how crazy and bastard Long Xiang was, he should have a little bit of regret, and he should also have a little bit of sudden realization.
Looking away from the street, Lu Sheng walked along the street to the restaurant.Directly in front of him, an elderly woman took a short, stocky little boy by the hand.The woman had a dignified and clean back, and her gray hair was tied into a meticulous bun at the back of her head.Looking at this figure from behind, Lu Sheng suddenly thought of Mother Chen.
Then that afternoon he ran to the post office and remitted 1000 yuan to Chen Ma.He knew that Chen Ma's life had always been good, her husband and son were dependable, and she wouldn't have to wait for his 1000 yuan to live on.He just wanted to report a letter to Chen Ma - the Long family should have known about his break with Long Xiang, and since he was gone forever, others didn't care, but Chen Ma, he thought, would miss him.
Send some money this year, and some more next year—if there is a next year.
In the evening of the next day, a dark green streamlined sports car parked in front of the National Hotel, and Irene in the car came out.
The dark green sports car drove Irene and Lu Sheng into the concession area.Lu Sheng followed Irene out of the car, and found that in front of him was a small Spanish-style two-story western-style building.The doors and windows on the ground floor were all wide open, and the evening breeze blew through the flowers, passing through the room seemingly without sight.Some young men and women ran out to meet Irene, Lu Sheng watched with great interest, even forgetting that he was one of the guests.
He had forgotten, but Irene hadn't.She suppressed her complacency and introduced Lu Sheng to everyone in front of her.Lu Sheng took a look around and immediately noticed that some young people looked wrong.Just now he was smiling at Irene, but now his nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes.Several gazes scraped him from head to toe like knives, and a voice rang out, "Is Mr. Bai new to Tianjin?"
Lu Sheng looked for the reputation and found that it was a handsome young man.Nodding to the young man, he replied in a low voice: "Yes."
The young man asked again: "Then may I ask where Mr. Bai is at the moment?"
Afraid of embarrassing Lu Sheng, Irene rushed to answer: "So he is a dragon—"
The conversation came to an abrupt end here, because Lu Sheng made a silent gesture to her.Irene subconsciously shut her mouth, and Lu Sheng followed her words to complete the answer, "I just arrived in Tianjin, and I don't have a job yet."
Everyone was silent for a moment, not because he was homeless and had no background, but because he dared to stop Irene from speaking, and Irene didn't get angry.
After a while, someone stretched out his hand to Lu Sheng and said with a smile, "Welcome to our small group."
Lu Sheng shook hands with this person, and at the same time made sure that he did not vote for this group - he should have voted, if he had always been the young master of the Shuaifu.It doesn't matter if you don't vote, it's also good to watch the excitement.I don't know if Long Xiang's bastard has learned these modern tricks of having a dance party and drinking coffee, anyway, he thinks that Yaya must not be used to it.Yaya is really not good at this aspect, no matter how she thinks about it, she can't stand on the stage.But it doesn't matter if she can't get on the stage, because she is Yaya.
Stepping into the building in a trance, he forced his mind back to the world in front of him.After taking a glass of dark beer from Irene, he and she sat on the couch in the corner of the living room.Irene turned her head to look at him, and saw him take a sip of the dark beer with his head down, then tighten his lips and frown.His hands are big and fair, with slender fingers, but there are faint small scars on the back of his hands.With such two hands holding the crystal clear glass, Irene felt that both the hands and the glass looked beautiful.
Lu Sheng noticed her gaze, so he turned his head and said to her, "Go and play with your friends, you don't have to stay with me."
After hearing this, Erin didn't know whether to be happy or angry.He condescendingly came to accompany him, but he told himself to "go ahead", it was really outrageous to be so confused.
Taking a sip of the champagne in her hand, she asked in a low voice, "Why aren't I allowed to mention your history to others?"
Lusheng lowered his head and looked at the faint white foam on the dark beer, "It's not a glorious history." Then he smiled wryly, and turned his face slightly to look at Irene, "Besides, no matter how you put it in a good way, In essence, I am just a servant of his family."
Irene couldn't stand listening anymore, and hastily retorted: "Don't underestimate yourself."
The urgent and sharp tone of her words caused a little surprise on Lu Sheng's face, and then he smiled at her sincerely.Lu Sheng turned his gaze forward, nodded to the dark beer, "Thank you, I'll listen to you."
After saying this, he glanced up at the person in front of him, then leaned back, and whispered, "That person likes you, right?"
Irene was startled, and then followed his gaze to see a familiar face, "Him? Don't pay attention to him, I hate him the most. Let him stare. Let's see how long he can stare at us."
Lu Sheng tilted his head towards her, and said in a low voice, "He's not the only one staring at us."
Irene let Lu Sheng approach her. She didn't feel offended, but rather pleased, "I don't care about these boring people. When the band comes, I'll teach you how to dance."
Irene and Luxon talked for an hour before the White Russian band arrived.A few jealous youths lingered around the two of them, pricking up their ears at the same time, and found that the content of the conversation between the two had no romantic elements. Pots and pans are necessary.Admirers never expected that Miss Irene, who is like a goddess, is quite ordinary. In her beautiful little head like a statue, she can calculate several financial accounts at the same time.The young people have no interest in financial accounts, and have been waiting for Mr. Bai to show his fox tail and release sweet words to Irene.But Mr. Bai is also considered a master. After talking slowly for an hour, he really did not cross the boundary between rent and pots and pans.
At midnight, Lu Sheng returned to the hotel.
He thought it was a worthwhile trip to this dance party.In terms of friends, he didn't meet a few new ones, and he received a lot of white eyes from the same sex, but he didn't care; in terms of knowledge, he felt that he had opened his eyes, especially when he learned to dance the waltz, and he danced very well.Irene has already booked him for tomorrow-tomorrow the two of them will look for a house together.Because he doesn't have the reason and capital to stay in a hotel for a long time, but she is familiar with the ground and has a sports car at her disposal.All is well, as long as you don't look behind you, don't think in the long run.
But Lusheng was never a fool, he couldn't help but think about it.When he thought about it, the sky became gloomy, and the beautiful sunset and the melodious music were other people's fun and had nothing to do with him.
But it doesn't matter, he has always been unhappy.Occasionally there is happiness, and it was all a few years ago, and it seems like a lifetime away when I recall it.
In the next half month, Lu Sheng rented an apartment on the third floor of a building.The apartment has three rooms inside and outside, which are not big, but enough for him to live alone.There is running water and a flush toilet in the room, and there is an elevator upstairs and downstairs outside the room. There is a street in front of the building, which is an office building shared by several foreign companies.All in all, this is a very "foreign" place.
On the day they moved in, Erin also came to help.She was wearing a white silk shirt and a navy blue skirt, with her long hair coiled up, and a pair of squeaking black high-heeled leather shoes.She looked like a Western female employee in the foreign firm opposite, showing a bit of shrewdness and calmness.Lusheng made the bed in the bedroom, so she stood in front of the wall next to the living room door, using a fountain pen to neatly copy small characters on the month card.When Lusheng walked out, she also finished her work.
Smiling and turning her hands back, she turned around lightly, causing the hem of her skirt to fly into a flower, "Look at what I wrote, how about it?"
Lu Sheng walked over to take a look and found that she had copied the phone numbers of the car dealership, dry cleaners, and surrounding vegetable restaurants into the blank space of the month plate.His eyes moved from the month plate to her pink face, and Lu Sheng was a little shocked - no one had thought of him like this for a long time.
When he got closer and looked at the small characters carefully, he said, "It seems that you don't look like a good student who loves to read, but your handwriting is really good, better than mine."
Erin shrugged, "I really don't know if you are criticizing me or praising me."
Lu Sheng turned to look at her, without explaining, just smiled.Irene looked at him, he didn't explain, and she didn't misunderstand, because even if he criticized her, she recognized it.In front of Lu Sheng, she was not competitive.What's the point of bullying him?He was already a lonely and poor child.
Irene was several years younger than him, but at some point, she naturally began to call him "the child" secretly.
After cleaning the three rooms, Lusheng and Irene went back to the hotel to check out and collect their luggage.His luggage is very simple, only a suitcase.Irene hated the sun, so she sat in the car and waited for him. While he was carrying the suitcase to complete the formalities, he turned around and was about to walk out the gate, when someone ran in panting and almost ran into his arms. inside.He immediately dodged to the side, but the man stopped and turned to him, politely, "Oh, sir, I'm sorry--" Having said that, the visitor suddenly took a step back, opened his eyes and looked at Lu Sheng again. , "Hey? Aren't you Young Master Bai?"
Lu Sheng looked at this man, and saw that he was also in his 20s, tall and strong, wearing a satin trousers and jacket, his head and face were neatly groomed, he almost looked like a young master.But in terms of appearance alone, he was indeed a stranger, at least Lu Sheng definitely didn't know him.
Seeing that Lu Sheng was just looking at him suspiciously, the man smiled and said: "This is really a coincidence. I came here to look for you, but just as I entered the door, I bumped into you—you Don’t you know me? My mother received the money you remitted to her a few days ago, and the old lady talked about it happily for several days. Just as I was planning to go to Beijing, she gave me the address on the remittance slip, so that I must find you and see if you are fat or thin now."
Hearing this, Lu Sheng suddenly felt a little warm in his heart, and there was a smile on his face, "Are you... Mama Chen's son? You, you are Brother Youyu?"
After asking this sentence, doubts appeared in his heart.Chen Ma didn't often talk about her family in front of Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng only remembered her mentioning "more than enough" several times.But neither he nor Long Xiang had ever met Yu Yu, because Yu Yu seemed to be more than ten years older than them, and he had started earning money to support his family many years ago, and he was a filial and mature son.But if the person in front of him is really Chen Youyu, then he can be said to be a master of beauty.A person in his forties can be so tender.
At this moment, the young man across from him smiled, "I am not Yu Yu, Yu Yu is my elder brother, and I am Youqing, Chen Youqing."
Lu Sheng was still a little confused.But after taking a closer look, he found that Chen Youqing's face was indeed a bit like the Chen family.And Chen Youqing continued to smile and said: "Where are you going? I'll take a look at you, and then I'll be able to do business when I get home. If you have something to do, just go and do it. Don't waste time because of me."
Lu Sheng immediately shook his head, "To tell you the truth, I've lived in this hotel for 20 days, and I'm going to move from here to the apartment today. If we hadn't met here, Tianjin Wei is so big, I'm afraid There is no chance for us to meet. How is Mama Chen?"
Chen Youqing replied: "She's fine." Then lowered her voice and said: "During the Chinese New Year, she heard that you had a falling out with the young master, and she was very worried about it. She was relieved after hearing about you a few days ago. Where are you going to move? Can you leave me an address?"
Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked back to the front desk, asked for a pen and paper from the waiter, and wrote down his apartment name and phone number.Handing these two items to Chen Youqing, he led the other party out of the hotel gate, and whispered again: "You can know it, don't tell others. Except for Chen Ma, I don't want to deal with the Long family anymore."
Chen Youqing nodded repeatedly as he folded the note and put it in his pocket.And Lu Sheng asked again: "You said you are going to Beijing this trip?"
Chen Youqing smiled, "I can't be idle, staying at home is causing trouble, so I went to Beijing to find the young master to see if I can get an errand to do it. Anyway, there are father and elder brother at home, and I have no wife, and there is no one when I go out." miss me."
When Lu Sheng heard this, he suddenly realized that he remembered!
He remembered that Chen Ma did indeed have a son named Youqing.But this Youqing was the illegitimate child brought back by Chen Ma's husband from outside, so Chen Ma never mentioned it to him, assuming that there was no child like him in the family.He looked Chen Youqing up and down again, he saw that this kid was born with alert features, and staying at home was indeed a bit wasteful; moreover, according to Lu Sheng's understanding of Chen Ma, he concluded that this Chen Youqing would not get much benefit at home. complexion.Reaching out his hand to take out the wallet from his trouser pocket, he took out 20 yuan, "I asked you to go to Tianjin specially, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Youqing looked down at the banknotes, then looked up at Lusheng, and smiled with straight white teeth.Both hands rubbed against the pants again, but they refused to reach out to take it.Seeing this, Lusheng simply put the money into his trouser pocket, "Say hello to Mama Chen for me. Also, when you arrive in Beijing, don't tell the people over there that I'm in Tianjin, remember?"
Chen Youqing covered his trouser pocket with his hands, and kept nodding with a smile.However, at this moment, a gust of fragrant wind sent a woman's voice over, "Mister Bai, have you met any friends?"
Lu Sheng looked around and saw Irene, who was dripping with sweat.Irene was shaking a small folding fan, and the fine black hair on her forehead was sticking to her skin wetly; the rouge on her cheeks seemed to have melted away, becoming a natural color on her face.And Irene's eyes turned from Lu Sheng's face to Chen Youqing, then covered her chin with a folding fan, and frowned slightly.When Lu Sheng looked at Chen Youqing again, he couldn't help frowning—Chen Youqing stared at Irene without blinking as if frightened—not staring, but staring!And opened his mouth slightly.I don't know if he sees Irene as beautiful, or as Irene as scary.
Lu Sheng felt that Chen Youqing's appearance was a bit embarrassing for him, although he and Chen Youqing had never been together.
