spare tire

The two of them hooked their shoulders together and looked very intimate, but in fact Li Yuan was very uncomfortable. A person who hadn't seen him for many years made such an intimate gesture as soon as he met, no one would be used to it.

But it doesn't matter if they are old men, so he followed Senior Brother Lu to a nearby Japanese restaurant.

Lu Yufeng seemed to be a frequent customer here, and the waiter in the store immediately led him into a small private room when he saw him.

"This place is close to the company. I come here often. Xiaoyuan, what do you want to eat? Senior brother treats you today."

Li Yuan: "I don't eat much Japanese food, brother, you can order." He is a typical Chinese, he likes the bustling vegetable market, and he is not very interested in raw or cold food.

"It doesn't matter what you eat, but it's been so long since we haven't seen each other for so long, a drink is a must." Lu Yufeng ordered roast pork and chicken pot, as well as tempura and a plate of sashimi, and finally asked the waiter for sake.

The other party obviously ordered according to Li Yuan's taste, which moved him very much. A person you haven't seen in ten years can still remember your preferences, which made the distance between Li Yuan and him a lot closer.

"Brother Lu, how have you been these few years?"

No matter in school or in the workplace, Lu Yufeng has always been a very easy-going person. He has a bold personality and a masculine appearance, which makes him easy to impress others. This makes him invincible in the workplace. It's the technical director.

But he just said lightly: "It's okay, let's dawdle. What about you, Xiao Yuan."

"I've only graduated a year ago and I'm working in a software company."

"That's right, the son inherits his father's business!" Lu Yufeng raised his wine glass and drank it with Li Yuan, and then drank it down. The two chatted about some irrelevant things, most of which happened ten years ago, because the two The intersection between also only ends in those years.

Drinking several times sake, it seems like a mild liquid, but its alcohol content actually exceeds that of beer, and the steam from the chicken pot warms up the body, and even the mind seems not so clear.

At this time, I dare to tell the other party what I usually dare not say.

When Li Yuan stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the roasted meat on the rack, Lu Yufeng suddenly grabbed his arm and stared at him with deep eyes.

"Brother Lu?"

"Li Yuan, do you know why Professor Li kicked me out of your house ten years ago?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Li Yuan's face became embarrassed. This should be an embarrassing matter for both parties. A mature and smooth man like Lu Yufeng should avoid it, but he took the initiative to bring it up.

However, Lu Yufeng's expression was natural, and he didn't feel that this was an embarrassing thing to say. He stared straight at Li Yuan and said, "Because I fell in love with you."

"Ah!?" Li Yuan was taken aback by the sudden confession, the chopsticks in his hand fell into the soup pot beside him, he stretched out his hand back like an electric shock, and looked at the other party defensively.Ever since he knew the secret of his body, he had an inexplicable fear of same-sex love.

His reaction amused Lu Yufeng, he let go of Li Yuan's hand, and laughed so hard, "I knew you would react like this, hahaha, you really haven't changed at all!!"

This made Li Yuan confused what the other party meant, was he joking or serious?

Now that the words have been spoken, there is nothing to hide, Lu Yufeng simply poured out all the words in his heart: "I was too young at the time, and the fact that my first love was a man gave me a headache for a long time. The appearance of reading a book under the sun is too attractive, so I couldn't help touching it, but I didn't expect to be caught by Professor Li."

"Senior Brother Lu Lu Lu Lu!" I knew the other party's bold temperament, but I never thought that the other party did not regard same-sex love as a taboo at all, and made him, the listener, blush.

"Don't be afraid, and don't be nervous. The reason I said this is because I have let go of my feelings for you a long time ago. I just think that such a precious first love should be known by the other party. But you were too young back then. I don’t understand, if I did something to you, it would be a crime.”

The other party was very calm, but Li Yuan blushed and didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, he managed to squeeze out two words: "Yes..."

His embarrassment put Lu Yufeng in a good mood, and he directly poured three cups for himself.Facing Li Yuan, he seemed to have returned to the youthful time when he fell in love with the youngest son of the teacher's family at the beginning of his love. He always secretly watched him read. Aroused his violent heartbeat.

First love is fruitless for most people, and he is no exception. He thought he had let go of his admiration for Li Yuan long ago, but found that he is such a nostalgic person. When he saw Li Yuan's blush cheeks, Familiar throbbing swept over him.

He has grown up, if he can accept same-sex love, maybe...

"I really don't know, I'm sorry, Brother Lu, but I'm not interested in men."

It's a pity that Li Yuan's blunt words preoccupied his daydream, making him reveal a self-deprecating wry smile.

"I know, I don't know why, Professor Li always seems to be wary of you getting too close to the same sex, of course you are a good straight man with a good root."

Lu Yufeng seems careless, but in fact he is as careful as dust. Li Weiran's abnormal behaviors in the past did not escape his eyes.

The conversation suddenly fell into a stalemate, and the warm atmosphere was no longer there.Li Yuan laments in his heart that his luck has been bad recently, although the peach blossoms are all crooked, there are no pink and fair fair maidens, but all of them are bigger and bigger than him.

Lu Yufeng had already anticipated his reaction, and comforted him and said, "Don't worry about it, it's all in the past. I'm not as pure as you imagined, and I won't like you for ten years. In the meantime, I also changed Quite a few boyfriends, but none for long."

There was deep regret in his tone, Li Yuan let go of the estrangement in his heart after listening to his words, because his words made him feel sympathetic, finding someone who can love and know each other is the biggest investment in life, It is also the biggest challenge.

"Senior Brother Lu, you are so handsome, you must be fine. If I were gay, I would have thrown myself into your arms." Li Yuan was moved by the other party's freedom. As an ordinary old friend, he relaxed and joked.

"Oh?" Lu Yufeng raised his eyebrows and gave him a narrow look, "Are you sure you're not?"

"..." Li Yuan was blocked again and couldn't speak.Maybe a month ago, he could categorically and loudly deny it, but now, when he thinks of He Shichen, he will feel infinitely confused.

"Haha, I won't tease you. I don't know when I will see you next time. I finally met once, so I will say everything I want to say. Let me ask you another question, are you still in touch with Chen Siming?" ?”

Only then did Li Yuan recall that Chen Siming had a very close relationship with the two of them back then, especially with Lu Yufeng, wherever he appeared, Chen Siming could be seen.

I don't know what Lu Yufeng meant by mentioning Chen Siming suddenly, but he answered the other side truthfully, "He is my department manager."

Lu Yufeng frowned. He shook his head while supporting his temples with a headache, and suddenly said excitedly: "Why are you still hanging out with him? It's fine if you didn't understand anything back then. Don't tell me you can't see him clearly now?" Are you a human being? Did you really not understand his intentions at the scene at Professor Li's funeral?"

It turned out that Senior Brother Lu had already seen Chen Siming's character clearly. No wonder the two who were once inseparable suddenly had no intersection.It's a pity that Chen Siming's disguise was so good that he didn't show his ugly face until his father died. At that time, he had almost obtained everything he could get from the Li family.

"Why can't I see clearly...Senior Brother Lu, a lot of things happened in our family later, and I have no relationship with him. I didn't know that he was also in this company when I submitted my resume." At the beginning, Chen Siming put The Li family became a stepping stone, and his father's death meant that the Li family was no longer of any use value to him. After taking away the contacts left by his father, he disappeared in front of Li Yuan.

"So that's the case, I just said, you are not so stupid..." Lu Yufeng sighed, "Anyway, you have to be careful about this person."

What Lu Yufeng said made Li Yuan realize that the other party knew something else, so he asked: "Senior Brother Lu, can you tell me everything you know about Chen Siming."

The time was too long, Lu Yufeng took some time to recall, and then said to Li Yuan: "It's not a big deal. But he seemed...interested in me at that time, so he reacted very strongly when he found out that I like you .In fact, I had a good relationship with him at the beginning, but from then on, whenever he had a chance, he would belittle you in front of me and call you useless. Over time, I felt that this person was not normal, so I alienated him. I I always feel that it is not a simple reason like jealousy that makes him speak ill of you, but he has always hated you in his heart."

Ever since seeing Chen Siming again, Li Yuan actually felt the same way in his heart, but what made him puzzled was that their Li family only had kindness towards him, how could it cause him to have such a strong hatred?

"But why?" Maybe Lu Yufeng can help him solve this mystery.

It's a pity that the other party shook his head, showing the same confused expression.

As soon as he mentioned this person, Li Yuan lost interest in the table of food and wine in front of him.He was also the one who initiated Li Xue's matter, and he seemed to be full of hatred for the entire Li family.

The two drank in silence for a while, Lu Yufeng felt that Li Yuan was preoccupied, so he didn't have the mood to continue.The two said goodbye after exchanging contact information.

On the way home, Li Yuan's brows were never untied. He remembered the scene when he first saw Chen Siming. Although he was only eight years old at that time, many memories were blurred, but he still clearly understood Chen Siming. I remember the handsome and timid face of the other party. He was held by his father, looked at the siblings with some horror, and said in a voice as small as a mosquito: "Hello, my name is Chen Siming."

At that time, he seemed to be busy solving a mathematical formula, only his sister, who was the same age as him, walked up to him curiously, and giggled when she saw his old-fashioned attire and washed yellow sweatpants——

"Oh, who are you, why are you wearing sweatpants under a shirt, and the color is so earthy, it's so ugly."
