Indissoluble bond

Time passed by as Lin Yu and Ouyang Baixue drew pictures, Zhou Yuan took pictures, and chatted with Lu Liang, and it was evening.

They rode their bicycles back, arrived at the vegetable market, and exchanged their bicycles.

Lu Liang accompanied Zhou Yuan to repair the car, and the two returned to Zhou's house together.

A few days later, Zhou Yuan received a call.

"Third brother, didn't you say that you are looking for someone to help me tutor Chinese and history? Why hasn't there been any movement?"

Although Zhou Jiang's tone didn't mean to accuse him, those words still made Zhou Yuan feel ashamed.Can he say that he forgot about it?

The winter vacation is coming to an end, Zhou Jiang's phone call reminded him of his unfinished winter vacation homework.

He and Lu Liang are different in arts and sciences, what they study is different, and their homework is naturally a little different.And now Lu Liang's notes on his experience are becoming less and less, more and more concise, which caused his grades to decline.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he himself needs tutoring.

As it happens, teaching one person is also teaching, teaching two people is also teaching, and Zhou Jiang doesn't live here, at most he goes to and from get out of class on weekends, and he can learn in his spare time.

Will Lu Liang agree?

After straightening out the matter, he said to Zhou Jiang on the other end of the phone: "After school starts, I will give you tutoring every weekend."

Zhou Jiang didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, so he said casually, "Okay."

"By the way, third brother..."

Zhou Jiang called out, then hesitated again.

Hearing his hesitation, Zhou Yuan said, "Just tell me what's going on."

"Uh... It's the second brother. He has a crush on a girl. He will go to Cuiyun Tower today. He wants to go and create a chance encounter, but he doesn't dare to go alone, so..." Zhou Jiang explained intermittently.

Zhou Yuan sneered: "Brother Zhou is so timid, how can he catch up with you?"

Zhou Jiang agreed: "Third brother, you are right, but second brother just doesn't dare, so he wants to call you and me."

"What about the eldest brother?" Zhou Yuan still respects Zhou Pu, which can be seen from the names of the two of them.

Zhou Jiang said embarrassedly: "Although the second brother admires the elder brother very much, he doesn't want the elder brother to know that he is so... cowardly."

"Oh~ So that's the case."

Zhou Yuan understood.

After waiting for a long time, Zhou Jiang didn't wait for the third brother's reply, so he bit his bullet and asked, "Then...the third brother, are you going?"

Zhou Yuan blinked and rolled his eyes: "Go, why don't you go, is he a treat?"

"Yeah, um." Seeing that he was about to successfully abduct the third brother, Zhou Jiang quickly affirmed.

"That's okay, someone treats guests to dinner, if you don't eat for nothing, tell me, when?"

Zhou Jiang quickly reported the time and place, for fear that Zhou Yuan would regret it: "Three days later, at six o'clock in the evening, Cuiyun Tower, private room 214."

"Okay, that's it, bye." After a few messages, Zhou Yuan hung up the phone neatly.

Before Zhou Jiang could say his farewell, the voice of "beep, beep" came from the phone.He opened his mouth and said in a daze, "...dress more formally that day."

Unfortunately, Zhou Yuan did not hear this sentence.But even if he heard it, Zhou Yuan would not take it seriously.Chasing girls is not going to a meeting, and eating is not talking about business.Clean and tidy clothes are good, the most important thing is to wear comfortable clothes, but don't wear old clothes.

Zhou Yuan wrote down the matter of going to Cuiyun Tower three days later in the memo so as not to forget it.

Speaking of which, a few days ago, after learning about Lu Liang's life experience, he came back and searched online, but he found nothing except some simple information.

Oh, no, at least I saw the basic information of several of his relatives.

But other than that, he couldn't understand Lu Liang's concerns.Lu Liang didn't tell him anything else.

He shook his head and called Lu Liang out.

Lu Liang stood at the door of the room in a thin sweater and looked at him.

Zhou Yuan immediately asked a question: "Then what... can you give me a tutoring session?"

Lu Liang was slightly surprised: "Tutoring what?"

Zhou Yuan looked away uncomfortably, and coughed twice: "Ahem, that's right, my grades in all subjects are not very good."

Lu Liang pondered for a moment, then nodded in response: "Okay, when will it start?"

Zhou Yuan was flattered that he agreed so quickly.

"anytime is fine."

Lu Liang stared at him with cold eyes for a long time before saying, "Then tomorrow, I will give you a test paper to see how well you study."

"No problem." Zhou Yuan didn't even think about it.

Lu Liang nodded, and was about to go back to the room, when Zhou Yuan suddenly said, "Well, wait, there is another person, can you also help me with counseling?"

Lu Liang asked coldly, "Who?"

Zhou Yuan scratched his cheek and whispered, "Zhou Jiang."

"Oh."

Lu Liang didn't say anything else, just replied, then retreated to the room and closed the door.

Zhou Yuan stared at the door, opened his mouth and didn't know how to react.

This... is this a promise or not?

But he didn't feel embarrassed to ask again, so he could only take it as his consent.If you don't agree...no, you must agree.

He leaned heavily on the back of the sofa, covering his face and sighing.

I'll go, did I agree? ! ! ! ! !

He felt like he was going crazy.

After thinking about it, he still mustered up the courage to walk outside Lu Liang's door, and asked through the door, "What did you mean just now?"

After a while, there was a voice from inside: "What?"

"That's right, tutoring Zhou Jiang."

"What do you think?"

"!"

What's the answer?If he knows, does he still need to ask?Did he mean that if he thought he agreed, then he agreed?

While thinking wildly, the door suddenly opened.

Seeing Zhou Yuan looking over in confusion, Lu Liang smiled lightly and said, "Heh~ If you want me to go, I'll go."

Zhou Yuan froze, the words echoed in his ears, making his cheeks start to burn.How do you feel, a little happy?

He touched his face blankly and found that the temperature under his palm was slightly hot. He hurried away and returned to the sofa in the living room.

Lu Liang's black eyes were deep, and his emotions were difficult to distinguish. He continued to stand at the door of the room for a while, then pursed his lips and retreated into the room.

The enthusiasm on his face subsided before Zhou Yuan came back to his senses.He nodded his lips, feeling that something was wrong with him, and blushed many times.shy?Why?

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't figure it out, and if I couldn't figure it out, I didn't think about it.

In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Liang took out the test paper as promised.Each subject has a large sheet, and it cannot be completed in a short time.

"Two... no, at most three days, finish everything, don't turn over the book, do it yourself." Lu Liang shook a small stack of test papers in his hand.

In fact, the amount is not a lot, and it can definitely be done in three days.

Zhou Yuan reached out to take it, flipped through it, and felt a little headache when he saw the densely packed test questions on the test paper.

"I'm very slow in doing the test papers, and I have something to do in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, can you give me a few more days?" He asked sideways.

Holding the water glass, Lu Liang thought for a while: "What's the matter the day after tomorrow? What's the matter? How long will it take? Then I'll give you two more days."

Zhou Yuan smiled apologetically: "It's a small matter, someone treats guests to dinner, two days..."

Originally, he wanted Lu Liang to give him a few more days, but when he saw Lu Liang's cold eyes, he flinched.

"Two days, enough is enough."

"I have something to do the day after tomorrow. I was worried that you would have nothing to eat. This is just right."

Dad Zhou's company is fine, and Mom Zhou's school is still on vacation, the two of them took advantage of these few days to go on a honeymoon trip, and they will not come back until the day before their school starts.

"You have something to do too?" Zhou Yuan was surprised.

He still doesn't know what's going on with Lu Liangneng. During his holidays, apart from working part-time, he stays at home or in the piano room. He has no other entertainment, and he has never seen him have any friends.

Why suddenly, something happened?It's still the day after tomorrow.

"Relative." Lu Liang didn't say much.

Seeing that Lu Liang didn't want to say anything, Zhou Yuan didn't ask any more questions, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

For so many years, I haven't seen him meet any relatives.Thinking of Lu Liang's life experience, a lot of rich and powerful blood flashed through his mind, and he became uneasy for a while.

"Then you, be careful." Zhou Yuan warned cautiously.

Lu Liang glanced at him and understood what he was thinking. Apart from feeling funny, there was also a faint warmth in his heart.

"It will be fine."

He said in a rare way.

Zhou Yuan still couldn't be completely relieved, but he didn't show it on his face: "Since you have said so, then I am also relieved."

Lu Liang knew he didn't believe it, so he didn't explain too much.He changed the subject lightly: "Remember to do the test paper."

After finishing speaking, he nestled back to the room again with the water glass in his hand.

When he left, Zhou Yuan looked at the test paper in his hand for a long time, and suddenly realized: "I haven't finished my winter vacation homework yet!"

There are more test papers!

Can you still have fun?

Lu Liang sat in front of the desk in the room, the corners of his lips raised, revealing a successful smile, like spring water slowly, attracting attention.But Zhou Yuan was destined not to see this smile.

After a while, he suppressed his smile, picked up the phone on the desk, and clicked on the text message.There is another new text message inside.

There is no note on the call number, and the content is the place to meet the day after tomorrow.It is the Cuiyun Building in this city, with 213 private rooms.

The eyelashes trembled like thick ink, and the shadows under the eyelids also trembled.He pressed a few times on the phone and replied: OK.

The message was sent quickly, but there was no movement over there. Lu Liang understood, and couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or numb.

When the parents were alive, those relatives looked loving, but once they lost the backing of their parents, even the closest relatives would disregard the slightest affection and only serve their own interests.

It's jaw-dropping.

Chilling?Maybe, but that's all in the past, and now he won't be disappointed or sad anymore.Disappointed?Yes, because he still has a glimmer of hope, hoping that they can still care about their family relationship.

But their various performances and behaviors let him know that what he hoped for was nothing but nothing.

In a flash, the appointed day arrived.At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Liang went out first, but he didn't immediately go to the Yunlou.

Zhou Yuan didn't know, he just thought he was going to a banquet.

After buying a suit at the mall, Lu Liang put it on directly before going to the banquet.The gathering of relatives has become so strange.

When he arrived, Lu Liang also set off from home.

Cuiyun Tower is different from Yuexiang Hotel in that it has no star rating, but it is also famous in Ning City.The main reason is that there are all kinds of Chinese pastries in Cuiyunlou, which are not only beautiful, but also delicious.In addition to Chinese pastries, their vegetarian dishes are also well-known and delicious.

These two features, coupled with the antique decoration, are even more attractive.

Cuiyun Building is not too far from Zhou's Dongyun Community. It takes about half an hour to walk, and it takes about 10 minutes to get there by car. However, Lu Liang went to the shopping mall first, and the journey was even further.

The building where Cuiyun Building is located is quite special, it is two loft-style buildings.The two small buildings face each other, and there is a garden in the middle. The boss also built the garden according to the Suzhou garden style.

A corridor, a group of rockeries, a lotus pond, and an octagonal pavilion are created. The flowers, plants and trees are well arranged and full of charm.

As for the two small buildings, each has three floors, and each floor has five private rooms.Go out to the lobby on the first floor of the building in front, there are 25 private rooms in total.

Cuiyun Building is also very busy, and if you don't make a reservation in advance, you can't eat in the private room.

Even the seats in the lobby are full, often not enough.

As soon as you stepped into the Cuiyun Tower, a waiter in a skirt came up to greet you: "Hello, guest officer, do you have a reservation?"

She smiled and whispered softly.

Ordinary people would be more gentle unconsciously, but Lu Liang was not affected at all, and said coldly: "Yes, 213."

"Okay, please follow me." The waiter still smiled like a spring breeze, leading the way with light steps, and the embroidered shoes under the skirt could be seen faintly between the steps, which was full of beauty.

A waiter took Lu Liang away, and immediately another waiter took her place in an orderly manner, responsible for welcoming the next guest.

It has to be said that this level of service alone can attract many customers.

The stairs of this small building are also made of wooden stairs, and there is a special "squeak" sound when walking up, but the feet are very stable, which adds to the fun.

The quality of the waiters here is excellent, and they will use whatever attitude they meet when they meet any kind of customers. If Lu Liang is not talkative, the waiters will also not talk too much.If you meet someone who likes to chat, the waiter will also chat with him.

The doors of the private rooms are all reddish-brown wooden doors. A private room has four doors with hollowed-out patterns on the door, and a red-painted bamboo door behind it, which cuts off the sound and sight outside the private room. It's too hidden, just close a heavy door outside.If you want privacy, turn them all off.

The design is very user-friendly.

Room 213 is on the second floor, so get there quickly.

At this time, the door of the private room was only closed once outside, and the waiter picked up a small hammer hanging on the door frame by the door, and rhythmically knocked on the bamboo tube that was also nailed to the door frame.There was a crisp knocking sound, and a short tune came out.

A waiter opened the door immediately.

Lu Liang looked around and found that the objects used as doorbells outside each private room were different, and secretly admired the person who came up with this ingenious idea.

The wooden floor inside the house is slightly higher than the ground on the second floor. There is a step a few steps behind the door, and a waiter stands on each side of the step.

After Lu Liang entered, the waiter who led the way bowed slightly and exited slowly. After leaving the private room, he straightened up and turned to go downstairs.

As soon as he entered the door, the chatter and laughter in the private room stopped, and there was a moment of silence.Pairs of eyes with different emotions looked at Lu Liang.

Lu Liang looked back one by one calmly, until he looked away from them all.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. At this moment, a man laughed and got up and walked towards Lu Liang: "Xiao Liang, you've come."

Someone started, and others followed suit.

"Yes, everyone is waiting for you."

"I haven't seen him in the past few years. He looks so handsome."

"What a talent."

"It's almost unrecognizable. It's okay to be cute when I was young, but I'm so good-looking when I grow up."

"Brother and sister-in-law look good, this is called inheritance."

The private room became lively again.

A well-fitting white shirt and black suit made him even more handsome and picturesque.
