Are you looking for a lease or a boyfriend?

After the party was over, Lin Shu left the hotel and waited for Xie Mingshan in the alley behind the hotel as agreed.The night outside in December was frighteningly cold, but fortunately Lin Shu was wrapped in a thick down jacket

"I've been waiting for a long time." Xie Mingshan trotted over and complained: "I'm about to leave, the boss insisted on pulling me to see me off, and I struggled with him for a long time before getting away. Are you cold?"

"It's okay, I'm wearing thick clothes." Lin Shu smiled and said teasingly, "Student Xie, you can do it now, you're already in this class."

"No way." Xie Mingshan grabbed Lin Shu's hand and put it in his pocket, and walked slowly to the subway entrance with him: "My boss is at best a coal boss, so why would he invite us? It's better to use your Principal Kang's relationship. There were his students in the organizer, so my boss was picked up, and then I was called up."

"Then you called me here again, what a series of nepotism is this." Lin Shu wanted to laugh when he heard this, and complained.

"A fox pretends to be a tiger." Xie Mingshan was in a good mood, and turned to ask Lin Shu, "Did you eat well tonight?"

"Not too good." Lin Shu shook his head seriously: "I saw lobsters, and I was afraid that they would embarrass you if they looked bad, so I just drooled and didn't dare to eat them."

"Hahahahahahaha." Xie Mingshan couldn't help laughing, and it took a long time to slow down, and he pulled Lin Shu to change directions: "Then let's go, I will take you to eat Boston lobster."

"Is the current Boston lobster only this big?" Lin Shu carefully picked up a small hemp and asked.

"They're all lobsters, so there's not much difference." Xie Mingshan solemnly set aside a crayfish and put it on Lin Shu's plate: "I had a cold meal all night today, and I don't know what's delicious. my appetite."

"You're just being nice while you're getting cheap." Lin Shu took a sip of beer and said with a smile, "How many people want to go but can't."

"That's true." Xie Mingshan nodded, and said in a serious manner: "So Professor Lin, you have to work hard and strive to reach the level of Principal Kang as soon as possible, so that I can hold my thigh."

"Then you made the wrong bet. I was still counting on hugging your thigh." Lin Shu took the crayfish that Xie Mingshan peeled for him and sent them to his mouth one by one. .

"By the way, why is the relationship between your boss and Kang Jianhua so good?" Lin Shu gossiped.A high-ranking intellectual and a coal boss always feel that the two cannot get along with each other, but the relationship is unexpectedly strong.

"As for the grace of saving my life, of course we have a good relationship." Xie Mingshan usually doesn't like to talk about these things, but when Lin Shu asked, he had nothing to hide, so he said directly: "My boss and Principal Kang are neighbors, and Kang Jianhua is a posthumous child. His mother died of illness not long after giving birth to him, and it was actually his second uncle who raised him, you know that?"

"I know." Lin Shu nodded: "Kang Jianhua has been a moral model before, and supporting his parents counts as a bonus item. He was taken out and wrote a special paragraph. We all know about it."

"Then you definitely don't know that Principal Kang was almost starved to death." Xie Mingshan said while peeling the shrimp: "The two of them were born in 1960. It was the era of famine at that time, and their children had no food. Principal Kang was not his own. Yes, the couple are not happy to raise him."

Lin Shu slapped his hands when he heard this, and said, "So his second uncle didn't give him food and wanted to starve him to death?"

"No." Xie Mingshan nodded: "Kang Jianhua is not stupid. If he doesn't give him food for several meals in a row, he naturally knows what his second uncle wants to do, but in those days you didn't eat anywhere, and the family didn't care. That's Wait to die."

"However, it's not worth dying. My boss and Kang Jianhua are about the same age. They had a good time together. I was a little worried after not seeing him for a few days, so I went to look for him. Seeing that Lu Zhou was a child, the couple didn't stop him." , let him in, and Kang Jianhua was already dying at the time, and he grabbed my boss for help and asked him to stutter." Xie Mingshan paused deliberately when he said this, to see Lin Shu's reaction.

Lin Shu was really caught by this story, and asked, "Then what should I do? Luzhou is also a child, where can I get food?"

"Why don't you say that my boss has been courageous since he was a child." Xie Mingshan was fascinated by Lin Shu and got a lot of satisfaction, and then said: "Luzhou's family is not rich enough to help Kang Jianhua, so he went back and walked around , came up with an idea."

"About ten miles away from Luzhou's home, there is a pig farm. At that time, the pork was purchased uniformly, but pigs can be kept in the water. Luzhou's mother once tried to buy pigs from the pig farm. So Lu Zhou saw that Tan Jianhua was about to starve to death, so he decided to sneak into the water." Xie Mingshan drank the rest of the beer, opened another bottle, and said, "He sneaked away from home that night. Going out, the child has short legs, and after running around all night, he stole a piece of pig intestine from the pig farm and threw it into Kang Jianhua's yard at night."

Xie Mingshan gestured for the length with his hands, and said, "This happened once when my boss was treating guests, and Principal Kang told me about it when he was drinking too much. That's how he gestured at that time, and my arms are only as long."

"But just such a piece of water saved Kang Jianhua's life." Xie Mingshan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "After that, Luzhou went to the pig farm to steal the water every now and then. After two months like this, the village began to distribute relief. The chief received the food, and the couple decided not to kill him and raised him."

"This is really..." Lin Shu sighed and sighed: "Our principal also has a heart. If my parents wanted to starve me to death when they were young, I will not care about them when they are old."

"Small mouth." Xie Mingshan laughed: "You just talk about it, if something happens, can you ignore them?"

Lin Shu was taken aback when he heard the words, and after a pause, he suddenly smiled and said, "Xiao Xie, how many years do you think I haven't been home?"

"how long?"

"19 years." Lin Shu also opened a bottle of new beer, raised his head and took a big sip: "I was admitted to university, and I never went back, and I never contacted them again. Now if you ask me about my parents I don't even know my phone number."

Xie Mingshan glanced at Lin Shu in surprise.

"My parents knew that I was gay, and felt that they had lost their face, so they always wanted to correct me." Lin Shu sneered, and said, "After serious discussions between my father and my mother, I still feel that the beating is not enough. , My parents were working in Foshan at the time, so the husband and wife took a two-hour bus ride back every night to beat me up."

"Don't talk about it, it's all over." Xie Mingshan glanced at the beer bottles in Lin Shu's hand, and found that there were already seven or eight cans of empty bottles. He realized that Lin Shu might have drunk too much, and he didn't want him to recall these sad things again, so he hurried Changing the topic: "What do you want to eat? Shall I order you some more lamb skewers?"

Lin Shu smiled indifferently, touched Xie Mingshan's head with his hand, and said, "Don't be nervous, it's been such a long time, it's all over now."

"Listen to what I have to say, it's rare to recall my painful youth story once." Lin Shu leaned on the back of the chair and said softly: "My mother is weak and weak, so she didn't participate in the beating of me. Blocking the door to prevent me from escaping, it was my father who hit me. At first, he grabbed my collar and hit my head against the wall, but it was too obvious. I went to the construction site and found a piece of thin steel bar to whip me. After the whipping, the steel bar was bent. At first I was still standing, but I couldn’t bear the beating every day. I told them in less than a month that I had lost my way. For this reason, I specially found a girl from another school and pretended to be in love."

"A key high school, the school is strictly controlled. I was arrested once on purpose and received a punishment. My dad was happy when he found out. Come back and go to work in Foshan." Lin Shu showed a sneer, and tapped his fingers on the table: "After that, I planned how to escape. When I was a sophomore in high school, I won a physics competition. I was recommended to a university in Guangzhou, but I managed to convince my dad to let me take the college entrance examination, then secretly changed my choice, filled in the address of the admission letter to the home of a classmate of mine, and quietly came to Beijing.”

"My grandma passed away on the second day after I got the admission notice, so I sold the house she gave me while they were taking care of the funeral. But it will be sold soon." Lin Shu paused here, looked at Xie Mingshan, and said with a smile: "Before the buyer came to collect the house, I called my parents to the old house."

"The two of them smelled gas as soon as they entered the house that day, and they were about to run away, but I blocked the door." When Lin Shu said these words, his tone was very relaxed, but his smile was full of jokes: "I took a lighter at that time. , put his hand on the switch. You don't know my dad's expression at that time, he almost knelt down in fright."

"You..." Xie Mingshan didn't know what to say, he frowned, and sighed after a long pause: "It's too dangerous, why don't you know how to love yourself?"

Lin Shu had never told anyone about this past, the first time he mentioned it, he thought Xie Mingshan was going to be afraid, but he didn't expect him to say this in the first sentence, he was stunned immediately, and felt something came from His face was scratched, and he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, only to realize that he was crying.

"Don't think about being uncomfortable." Xie Mingshan took out a tissue and handed it to Lin Shu, feeling sore in his heart.

"What's so uncomfortable about this." Lin Shu wiped away tears and said with a smile: "And you are worrying for nothing. I was just admitted to university at the time, and it was when I had a bright future, so I was willing to die like this. I entrust the previous students My sister made some mercaptan, and the unpleasant smell in the gas is because of adding this thing, only a little bit is used, it's like the whole house is full of gas."

"I pretended to die with my parents, scared them both to death, and took the opportunity to threaten them to leave me alone." Lin Shu exhaled a long breath, and said lightly: "It may be that my extreme actions frightened them, wait After Jean opened the door, the two ran faster than rabbits, and they never contacted me again. When I got the money for selling the house, I left Guangzhou and never went back.”

"They haven't looked for you?" Xie Mingshan asked with a complicated mood.

"No." Lin Shu's tone was calm, and he said slowly: "I later met a school girl who was my mother's student before. I heard from her that the two of them gave birth to another boy. I guess I felt that I was completely hopeless, so Get a trumpet and keep raising it."

"Do you think I'm particularly scary?" Lin Shu turned up drunk and asked Xie Mingshan in a daze.

"You are not scary at all." Xie Mingshan looked at Lin Shu seriously, and said: "It is a courageous thing to resist atrocities, and I am really happy that you were able to do so at that time.
