The Melancholy of a Third-Rate Writer

Lu Xiaohua really didn't know that the boss' birthday was actually on this day.

He was stunned for a moment, looked at the editor-in-chief and said, "You remember it very clearly. You used to celebrate him, right?"

Editor-in-Chief Wen's face froze.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaohua circled around so easily, and actually got to his dead spot.

Editor Wen took out a cigarette from his pocket.

Lu Xiaohua stared wide-eyed: "You actually smoke?"

Editor-in-Chief Wen said: "There are a few non-smokers in my line of work. Staying up late is a common thing. Coffee, green tea and cigarettes are all necessities."

Lu Xiaohua said: "... Smoking is harmful to health."

Editor-in-Chief Wen turned to stare at him: "You don't smoke?" He took out the cigarette case and motioned Lu Xiaohua to take one.

Lu Xiaohua shook his head hastily: "No."

Editor-in-Chief Wen said: "How do I remember that you were caught smoking in the toilet, and you were reported to the whole school as a typical example of a thorny student?"

"...It's as if you saw it." Lu Xiaohua said disgustedly, "Do you think the toilet is a good place to smoke?"

Editor-in-chief: "..."

The editor-in-chief, who is a bit of a cleanliness, feels that his mouth has a strange taste!

Lu Xiaohua didn't wonder how the editor-in-chief Wen knew about his affairs. To them, his bad file was like meat on the chopping block, and they could dispose of it as they liked.

This happened indeed. At that time, Lu Yulin didn't learn how to do it well, and went to learn how to smoke and drink from others. It was Lu Yulin who hid in the toilet and smoked.At that time, he snatched Lu Yulin's cigarettes, and the teacher just came in to arrest him. He stood in front of Lu Yulin and said that the cigarettes belonged to him, and Lu Yulin wanted to persuade him not to smoke.As he spoke, he stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, took two puffs, and coughed until tears came out, but he still looked at the teacher triumphantly.

So the teacher praised Lu Yulin for righteously killing his relatives, and then criticized him.

Coupled with the previous incidents, the school decided to arrest him and treat him as a model, to make an example to others.

After Lu Yulin conducted self-criticism in front of the whole school, he felt that his skin had thickened, and he didn't care much about anything.

Thinking back, what was I trying to do at the time? Standing on the stage trembling and reading the self-criticism, tears flowed down my face.But when he turned around to what Lu Yulin had said, Lu Yulin said, "Oh, that idiot, he's always been so stupid, it's ridiculous."

After so long, Lu Xiaohua didn't intend to mention it again.He hesitated for a moment and said, "Will you go in with me?"

Editor-in-Chief Wen took a puff of his cigarette, and seeing Lu Xiaohua's insensitive expression, paused, and put out the cigarette in his hand.His perception of Lu Xiaohua is very complicated, but the education he received since he was a child told him that it is impolite to smoke in front of people who don't like the smell of cigarettes, and it is not something a gentleman should do.

Editor-in-Chief Wen said, "Want to hear about my relationship with Xue Siqi?"

Lu Xiaohua: "...I don't really want to."

Editor-in-Chief Wen: "...I don't want you to listen to me!"

Lu Xiaohua applauded enthusiastically, and looked at the editor-in-chief eagerly: "Think!"

The editor-in-chief Wen began to understand a little bit how the boss felt when he came to Lu Xiaohua. This guy really made people want to strangle him and keep him for fun!

The editor-in-chief of the article said: "I met Xue Siqi when he was 12 years old. He didn't think much about making friends when he was a teenager. We just played together when we got along. I have always played well with Xue Siqi until my mother told me to curry favor with him. It was only then that I realized how far the gap between me and him was. Originally, my talent was not very high, and my father didn't like me very much, but the appearance of Xue Siqi gave my mother a glimmer of hope."

Lu Xiaohua listened quietly.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and those who are born with a golden spoon in their mouths such as the editor-in-chief and the boss are not all smooth sailing.Parents are not like parents, children are not like children, brothers are not like brothers, these things are all there.

Lu Xiaohua didn't respond, and the editor-in-chief also found it boring. He said: "Actually, there is nothing to say. I didn't want to listen to my mother at the beginning. I wholeheartedly wanted to be true friends with Xue Siqi, helping each other celebrate their birthdays, and hanging out together when I had time." It’s very simple. Facts have proved that what I did was correct. People who flatter Xue Siqi are everywhere, but there are very few people who sincerely make friends with him. At that time, I was almost the only one, so Xue Siqi’s attitude has always been change."

Lu Xiaohua thought of the boss who has become more and more talkative recently.

I don’t know if it was because he locked the boss out the night that the boss and the housekeeper opened up their hearts by accident. The atmosphere in the boss’s house is very harmonious now, and Lafayette still has a meal from time to time. It feels like a "family" dinner A little cozy!

The editor-in-chief of the article looked at Lu Xiaohua's thoughtful side face and said, "You know what happened later, right? I tried hard to fight for the right of inheritance when I thought I didn't borrow his strength, but in the end I was used by Xue's opponents." I almost killed him that time, really, almost killed him. I was terrified at the time, and when I heard what happened to him, I lost all hope and cut myself a few times on the wrist..."

Lu Xiaohua commented: "Wrist cutting is the most unscientific method of suicide. Generally speaking, it is very difficult to die. Usually only people who don't want to die will choose this—"

The editor-in-chief said: "Has Xue Siqi ever said that your mouth can piss people off?"

Lu Xiaohua looked shy: "No, you are the first to praise me like that, thank you."

Editor-in-chief: "..."

Lu Xiaohua made such a fuss about the sadness of revisiting the past, and there was no shadow of it.

The editor-in-chief of the article said: "Yes, I really don't want to die. I was indeed saved. Xue Siqi is not dead. The first thing he did after waking up was to change course and directly support my half-brother. As the heir, my mother was so angry that she was hospitalized. Later, her mental condition was not very good, and she was transferred to a nursing home. When I heard the news, I thought about it for a long time, and finally figured it out. I made it myself If I make a mistake, I should bear it myself. My younger brother and I are in the same situation. In the future, we may not even be able to get my mother’s recuperation expenses. The recuperation expenses are very expensive. If I don’t cheer up, maybe my mother won’t even be able to pay for it when she gets old. There is no one who can support her. So I came out to work, starting from the grassroots level of the newspaper, and achieved this position. It may be because I have no such thoughts about the family business, and the relationship with my younger brother has also eased. , in short, everything is fine now. I went to find Xue Siqi that day, and I really lost my composure, because that was the day I almost killed him. I didn't mean to disturb you," he reached out and patted Lu Xiaohua on the head, "except for you Apart from creating a little insignificant misunderstanding."

Before Lu Xiaohua could react, the editor-in-chief Wen had already held his head with one hand and moved closer to him.

The beauty's face suddenly magnified several times and appeared in front of his eyes, Lu Xiaohua was frightened.

Editor-in-Chief Wen said: "I don't know if Xue Siqi is a jealous vat. I really want to see it with my own eyes. But for the sake of safety, I still don't go in."

Lu Xiaohua had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, the editor-in-chief Wen returned to the driver's seat and said: "There is a camera at the gate of Xue's house, it seems to be facing you right? If it looks like I kissed you from that angle just now, you must explain it carefully when you go back. I just treat you to a meal, nothing else."

Lu Xiaohua: "..."

This time for real!when!up!

Lu Xiaohua really wanted to stay in the car of editor-in-chief Wen, but he also knew that the longer the delay, the less safe it would be. With the boss's temper, he must be chopped up after seeing the surveillance!

Lu Xiaohua quickly unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car.

Editor-in-Chief Wen played with the admission pass he took out from Lu Xiaohua's pocket just now, and took out his mobile phone to call the housekeeper.

The butler's voice was not very friendly: "What's the matter, Mr. Wen?"

Editor-in-Chief Wen said: "Your son has left something with me, ask him to come and get it back."

housekeeper:"……"

He had a premonition that Lu Xiaohua was cheating again!

The butler ran out of the gate and saw Editor-in-Chief Wen leaning on the car smoking a cigarette.

The butler said, "What did Xiao Hua miss?"

Editor-in-chief Wen said: "It seems that you really recognize Lu Xiaohua's son, butler."

The housekeeper's words were stinging: "Who doesn't like a child who knows how to repay his kindness."

Editor-in-Chief Wen's expression froze, and he said, "I was wrong at the beginning." He handed Lu Xiaohua's admission pass to the butler, "I just want to say sorry to you, you were very good to me back then, and I failed you. trust."

The butler saw that the editor-in-chief's face was a little pale, but his heart softened: "Siqi and Xiaohua are doing well now, just don't bother them."

Editor-in-Chief Wen said: "I don't think so." He flicked the cigarette in his hand, "I'm afraid there are a lot of problems between them, right? I have met Lu Xiaohua twice in the past two months, and he is very serious in everything he does. , but it doesn't look like he is particularly concerned about Si Qi. I have read his file and tried a few words. The things in the file were not done by him, so why didn't he refute it once? Because he was giving People top the tank, right? It is said that he used to be very kind to his family members, but what happened afterwards? Then his family members stepped on his bottom line, and he never looked back."

Editor-in-Chief Wen's analysis was very reasonable, and the housekeeper's heart skipped a beat when he said it.

Editor-in-Chief Wen said: "It is reasonable to say that they are all married, so they should not be in the current state. I guess Si Qi has already stepped on his bottom line? This kind of guy is sometimes softer than anyone else, and sometimes harder than anyone else. If Si Qi wants to be serious this time, he still has a long way to go."

The housekeeper was silent.

Editor-in-Chief Wen's words really hit the point!

Editor-in-Chief Wen said: "There is one more thing I think I should tell you." He paused and told about Lu Xiaohua's encounter with Lu's mother that day.

Seeing that the editor-in-chief of the text looked calm, the butler also softened his face.

He said: "I will have a good chat with Xiaohua later."

Editor-in-Chief Wen said: "Then I'll go first." After finishing speaking, he didn't ask the housekeeper to send a blessing, opened the car door, got in the car, and walked away.

The butler returned to the main house with worries, only to find that the atmosphere in the house had dropped to freezing point again.

The boss's face was livid: "If you don't come back, I will take care of you!"

Lu Xiaohua said: "I didn't know that today is your birthday!"

The boss went upstairs without looking back, and closed the study door.

The butler couldn't help but said: "Xiaohua, you can go up and coax Siqi." He handed the admission pass to Lu Xiaohua, "Are you going to have dinner with Mr. Wen tonight? Siqi doesn't know about this, if If you know it, you will definitely get angry again, so you'd better appease him first."

Lu Xiaohua was taken aback, and said, "I still don't understand what's going on now, why it suddenly became like this."

If the boss said that he wanted to marry him from the very beginning, he would definitely run as far as possible;It is because the boss has always been teasing him that they have come to this state.

Lu Xiaohua really doesn't understand what the boss is thinking, like tonight is actually such a small thing, the boss wants him to come back to celebrate his birthday, just give him a call and ask him to come back, there is no need to wait for him to come back , After he came back, he had a cold war with him again, right?

Seeing that Lu Xiaohua was frowning, the housekeeper started to speak for the boss: "Siqi just wants to live a good life with you. Recently, Siqi has changed a lot... Didn't you specially cook for my birthday a while ago? Siqi Waiting for your meal early in the morning, he thought you remembered his..."

Lu Xiaohua was startled, looked at the cold dishes on the table in the dining room, and asked, "...he hasn't eaten yet, has he?"

The butler nodded.

Lu Xiaohua was stunned.

A strange feeling melted in his heart.

For the first time, he realized that something had slipped between him and his boss.
