Bite Your Fingertips

Wei Guanglei thought carefully about what kind of expression he should make at this moment.

But then I think about it, the big man, don't be so frightened, but he is someone who has even seen a big scene like picking a fishbone, calm down!

Put the stainless steel vacuum flask in his hand on the only table in the house, Wei Guanglei urged, "Hurry up, my mother ordered, let me stare at you and finish drinking!"

Then he saw that Lu Shi entered the kitchen, took out a porcelain bowl and a small spoon from the cupboard, took out half of the soup, and put it aside.

"There are still at home, I'll go back to drink in a while, and don't have to share it--" Wei Guanglei got stuck.

He turned to look at the bedroom with the closed door, and then at the soup bowl in front of him.

Pooh!It's strange that it was poured for him.

Amazed, it calmed down.

Wei Guanglei sat down, "By the way, how did the young master sleep here last night?"

Lu Shi explained, "He was drunk and called me to pick him up. It was too late and he brought him back."

"No..." Wei Guanglei thought these words were weird.

His brother Lu has never brought anyone back to his house, let alone stayed overnight in bed.

And, "Young Master is drunk, shouldn't he ask his driver to drive to pick him up? Why did you call you here?"

Lu Shi lowered his eyes to drink the soup, his expression unclear.

He replied, "Before I left, I told him that if I drink, call me."

Wei Guanglei's heart jumped suddenly.

I want him to need me, rely on me, and can't do without me.

He still clearly remembered what Lu Shi had said.

Not knowing what to say for a while, Wei Guanglei simply shut up.

After Lu Shi finished drinking the soup, he washed the thermos and put it away. Wei Guanglei didn't rush back.

He sat on the sofa, played games with his mobile phone, and waved his arm.

"Brother Lu, I am going to practice a new hero, will you give me guidance?"

"Row."

Lu Shi simply picked this exercise set, held a pencil, and sat on the other side of the sofa to do the work, giving Wei Guanglei two outfit suggestions from time to time.

Chu Yu woke up, opened the door and left the bedroom, what he saw was this scene.

He just got up, drank alcohol again, his head was dizzy and not sober, "Lu Shi?"

"Ok."

Lu Shi stopped the calculation and pointed the direction of the pen, "The toothpaste and toothbrush are in the bathroom, and the light blue towel is yours."

"it is good."

Chu Yu dragged his steps to the bathroom to wash, and soon poked his head out, "Lu Shi, do you have a hair dryer in your house?"

"No."

"Oh."

After a while, the bathroom door opened again, and Chu Yu was not as embarrassed, "Um... can I borrow a piece of clothing to wear? It smells like this on me!"

Lu Shi got up, took a white T-shirt from the closet, and threw it to Chu Yu.

It took half an hour for Chu Yu to get out of the bathroom.

Only Wei Guanglei remained on the sofa.

With half wet hair, Chu Yu looked around, "Where is Lu Shi?"

"In the bedroom, I'm answering the phone. The three fucking people came to surround me, so I'm too dear to your father and me!" Wei Guanglei remembered, "By the way, there is soup on the table, and Lu Gothic left it for you. , My mother stayed all night, it should taste good!"

Chu Yu sat down and took a sip. The taste was not good, but the warm soup was very comfortable to drink.

Before he finished drinking a bowl of soup, the bedroom door opened and Lu Shi stood at the door and said to Chu Yu, "Come here."

Chu Yu put down the soup bowl and walked over.

The bedroom door was closed, and the white T-shirt that Chu Yu was wearing was a size larger and looser.

He was curious, "What's the matter?"

"I'm going out the door, leave immediately, and come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Chu Yu blinked, "That school—"

"I have already asked for leave."

"Okay, then, then you pay attention to safety."

When Chu Yu watched the landing, he always felt that Lu Shi was habitually calm on the surface, but compared with usual, he was faintly anxious and anxious.

Seeing Lu Shi's fingers holding the phone so hard that they turned white, he guessed that it was probably related to the call.

Despite guessing in his heart, Chu Yu didn't ask much.

Lu Shi dropped his thin eyelids, "What should I do if I'm hungry?"

"I'm fine. Although it's uncomfortable, it's good to be patient. Anyway, you will be back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and it won't take long."

If other times, Chu Yu would be determined where Lu Shi was going and where he was going, asking like before if he could follow along.

But this time, it was obvious that Lu Shi didn't want to.

It is estimated that he is not suitable to follow.

"Ok."

Lu Shi put his phone in his pocket, "I will be back as soon as possible."

Wei Guanglei was not surprised when he heard that Lu Shi was leaving.

In his memory, there have been three or four times in Lu Shi's situation of suddenly leaving and walking for two or three days.

Lu Shi never said what he was doing or what he was going to do, but every time he came back, he didn't feel much better. He would always have low pressure for several days, and it would explode with just one poke.

"My mother also said to stew your pig's feet soup to replenish your brain in the evening. I'll go back and talk to her and wait for the next week to cook."

Lu Shi carried a black backpack on one shoulder, "Well, thank you Aunt Rou for me."

After getting on the bus to the bus station, Lu Shi clicked on the call log and dialed back.

The one who answered the phone was a rough male voice, "Hello?"

Holding the ring in his hand, Lu Shi stared at the slow-moving street scene outside the window and asked, "Are you sure?"

"80% chance."

The male voice on the phone said conservatively, "The time interval is too long to check. The address found this time is much more reliable than the previous few times, but I can't guarantee it completely."

"Ok."

"The other thing is, the mother-in-law I found didn't know her mind well. It all depends on whether she can ask anything. Lu Shi, don't hold out too much hope."

The bus drove slowly, and while shaking, the rings made a creaking and rubbing sound.

Across the glass window, you can hear the sound of a horn outside, "Sugarcane sugarcane, ten yuan a bag, ten yuan a bag..."

Lu Shi was squinted by the sun, his throat lowered, "Thank you."

"No thanks, I will take your money and help you with things as it should be."

When I took the bus to the bus station, Lu Shi got on a bus called Xiali County, made two more turns, and finally reached a place called Xiali Town.

According to the address received on the phone, Lu Shi stopped in front of a small supermarket.

At the entrance of the supermarket, there is a big blue sign that says "Manly Supermarket".

The supermarket is small, with compact shelves, and there is not a single customer in it.There was a cradle at the door, which was electrified and flashed with red and green lights.

Behind the cash register sits a woman in her 30s and 40s in a black dress, playing with her mobile phone.

Lu Shi entered the door and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Wang Zhenshu."

"That's my mother, who are you?"

There are only two streets before and after Xia Li Town, and there is not much people coming and going, and occasionally I can see old people sitting on the roadside chatting.When he saw the face of Lu, he would cast his eyes.

The woman in black dress introduced herself as Li Manli. She pulled down the rolling door of the small supermarket, locked it, and walked into the alley when she landed.

"A few years ago, my mother always talked, saying that when she was younger, she worked as a babysitter for a wealthy family. I still don't quite believe that at the level of her cooking, which rich family would ask her to be a babysitter? ?"

After bypassing a pile of construction waste, Li Manli smiled, "I didn't expect it to be true."

Lu Shi speaks few words, and when listening to Li Manli, he should say something from time to time.

Passing by a brick wall with the words "Insist on sustainable development", the two stopped in front of a small courtyard. Li Manli took the key, opened the courtyard door, and shouted, "Mom, where is it? Someone is looking for it." !"

"Manly is back?"

An old man stepped out of the door, held the door frame, and stopped, "Who is looking for me?"

When Li Manli pointed at Lu, "He said his surname is Lu. Don't you always say, have you worked as a babysitter in a wealthy house before? The child came here."

Wang Zhenshu sat down on the rattan chair at the door, "surnamed Lu...Lu," she said after more than ten seconds, "Are you the child in Mrs. Lu's belly?"

Li Manli offered Lu Shi a chair, and then asked Lu Shi if she wanted tea.

Lu Shi politely declined.

He answered Wang Zhenshu's question, "Well, I am."

He looked at the old man in front of him and asked slowly, "You took care of a pregnant woman in S city 18 years ago, right?"

When this question was asked, Lu Shi was even a little nervous.

The string in my heart trembled slightly.

Wang Zhenshu nodded, "Yes, I have taken care of it. That Mrs. Lu, likes to eat hot and sour potato shreds I made. I have a big appetite when I am pregnant, and I have to eat a large plate.

Lu Shi's throat was a little dry.

"That's my mother. You," he calmly said, "Can you tell me about the things back then?"

Wang Zhenshu recalled, "When people are old and have a bad memory, I remember that Mrs. Lu is very educated, likes to read books, and also calls and discusses issues with others. I am illiterate and do not understand. Mr. Lu is busy, and I return late at night. Madam Lu just waited while reading, not listening to any advice."

When people are old, they are all trivial things in memory.

Lu Shi asked, "Are they feeling well?"

"Okay, very good, very affectionate. Mrs. Lu is pregnant, her feet are swollen, and her shoes are not easy to wear. Mr. Lu came back, put her shoes on and pinched her feet. The anti-slip mat in the bathroom was also bought specially by Mr. Lu. The care is very meticulous."

When Wang Zhenshu looked at Lu again, "Mrs. Lu also said that when the child is born, give me a hug. Unfortunately, I did not wait. My husband was seriously ill. I hurried back to my hometown. Before leaving, Mrs. Lu gave me a lot of money. , This is all kindness."

"When did you leave?"

"When? When... Oh, I left when Mrs. Lu was eight months pregnant. At that time, she stood with her pregnant belly and stood at the door to see me off. She smiled and told me to be safe on the road."

Having said that, Wang Zhenshu was not quite clear about what she said. After a while, she said that the fire in the kitchen was still burning, and then she said that it was almost dark, why Manli hadn't returned.

Li Manli came from the side, "Mom, I came back early, and forgot?"

When she turned to Lu apologetically, "Old man, I am not so clear when I get older, and I am confused."

Lu Shi sat for a while.

It wasn't until Li Manli helped Wang Zhenshu to go back to the room to sleep, that he seriously thanked him, got up and left.

Leaving Xia Li Town, Lu Shi took the bus to the next town.

It was too late and there was no bus back to Xiali County.He found a hotel near the station to stay.

Early on Monday morning, Chu Yu arrived in the classroom with an empty schoolbag.

His back table was empty, and Chu Yu glanced at it, feeling inexplicably, feeling a little lost in his heart.

Seeing him, Zhang Yueshan asked, "Lu Shen asked for leave, what's the matter?"

Chu Yu looked sad. After sitting down, he held his chin with his hands, and said slowly, "Squad leader, I don't know."

"I thought you would know."

Zhang Yueshan looked at Chu Yu again, "School girl, are you... ill again?"

"What's wrong?" Chu Yu's stare was gone.

Starting from the early hours of last night, he got up with a low temperature all over his body and couldn't sleep uncomfortably.

When he got up in the morning, the sound of his heart "banging" hit his eardrums.The blood vessels on both sides of the temple are about to explode.

"It's the disease you got from the beginning of school!" Zhang Yueshan recalled with difficulty, "That... called, called, autonomic disorder! Yes, that's the name!"

"Well, almost."

Chu Yu finished speaking weakly, and was about to get down again.

Zhang Yueshan remembered, "By the way, God Lu is not here, who did you copy your homework?"

"Don't copy."

Chu Yu lay down and said, "Too lazy to copy."

Thinking it was just after the monthly exam, Chu Yu didn't want to study.Zhang Yueshan remembered something, "The news I heard last night, Guan Yiyang transferred to another school."

Chu Yu's mind turned slowly, and it took several seconds to react, "Who is trying to call my father?"

"It's him, not only him, but also Fang Mingzhe who framed you for cheating, Shen Zhongming, the son of the director of the teaching and research section, all transfer!"

Li Hua was covering his ears and memorizing the text. Hearing their gossip, he turned his head and quickly participated in it. "Also, Shen Zhongming stole his dad's key and opened a drawer to steal the test paper. I can hear you." He added, "He lives on the 20th floor."

Next, Zhang Yueshan began to discuss with Li Hua about whether Shen Zhongming's house lived on the 20th floor and whether the crying could reach the gate of the community.

Chu Yu didn't participate, he felt a little irritable.

Turning his head to look at the empty seat behind him, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Chu Yu just lied all day.

When it got dark, the street lights downstairs gradually turned on.

After the bell rang, the teaching building seemed to be collapsed, and the sound of "dongdongdong" was all footsteps.

Chu Yu stood up holding the tabletop, preparing to return to the dormitory to continue lying down.

Zhang Yueshan packed his schoolbags, and saw that Chu Yu was wobbly and unsteady. He was worried, "Can you do it? Do you want to help you?"

Chu Yu knew it well, he waved his hand, "No, I can go."

Zhang Yueshan was worried, and followed Chu Yu, accompanying people downstairs.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, when the appetite is large, you can wake up hungry in the middle of the night without eating supper.

Zhang Yueshan pointed to the direction of the cafeteria, "Can you really go back? Then, did I go?"

Chu Yu was also hungry, but there was no food for him in the cafeteria, and for a while, he felt very sad.

He nodded slightly, "Well, see you tomorrow."

Back to the bedroom, Chu Yu fell on the ground without turning on the light.

He closed his eyes, groggy and confused, and heard the phone ringing.

Reaching out for a long time, he picked up the phone, opened one eye, and found that it was Lu Shi's call.

Chu Yu instantly sat upright.

"Hey?"

When the phone was connected, Chu Yu could hear the whistling sound coming from the receiver.

"it's me."

Lu Shi's voice came over, mixed with a small electric current.

"Are you hungry?"

Chu Yu leaned against the wall, bowed his head, unconsciously prolonged his tone, and answered honestly, "So hungry."

He asked again, "Where are you now? I'm looking for you."

"By the Qingchuan River."

Listening to Lu Shi's voice, it was dumber than usual, and the wind by the river made people feel a little sad.

"Don't come here, I'll go back to school and open the door for me in a while."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Yu lay on the bed, listening to the movement outside the door with ears upright.

It feels so fucking hard to wait.

He wondered endlessly again, what the hell did Lu Shi do?God is mysterious.

And listening to the sound, I don't know if it is his illusion, I always feel that it is a little different from usual.

Chu Yu grabbed a memory.

In the locker room, Lu Shi had the same voice after answering the phone.

It seems that I will cry in the next second.

Every minute and every second is extremely difficult.

Until there was a soft knock on the door three times.

Chu Yu didn't wear any slippers, stepped on the carpet with bare feet, and ran to the door in two or three steps.

Lu Shi walked in and closed the dormitory door with his backhand.

The room was completely dark.

"No lights on?"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Shi felt someone rushing towards him. Following the soft strength of the opponent, he sat down on the carpet.

In the darkness, he could faintly see the silhouette of the opponent.

Lu Shi was pressed by Chu Yu and simply relaxed and let him move.

It felt like Chu Yu was groping and touching his collar, pulling it apart, and soon, there was a slight tingling in the position of his shoulder, as well as the slight movement of sucking blood.

The wrist was wrapped around Chu Yu's waist, and he held the person in his arms. Lu Shi's voice was light and hoarse, and he whispered, "Know that you are hungry, be good, don't worry, drink slowly."

I rushed back and forth for these two days, but as before, I got nothing.

The ground was cold by the night breeze of early autumn, and even the tips of my fingers were ice.

The person in his arms is as warm as the warm spring sun.

Lu Shi lay on the carpet, holding Chu Yu, slowly closing his eyes, his tight nerves finally relaxed for a moment.
