The Heart of a Smith

When Lu Shang woke up in the morning, there was nothing around him. He lay down for a while as usual, then slowly got up, put on his clothes and pushed open the bedroom door.

The weather was fine, the sun was shining through the glass windows, and the room was warm. He listened in place for a while, and then went to the corner unexpectedly.There was a small kitchen there, in which Li Sui was cooking breakfast with a frying pan, probably the oil had just been sprinkled, and there was a buzzing sound in the pan.

"Are you awake?" Li Sui looked back at him, his eyes lit up a little, and there was a hint of shyness that didn't mean anything.

Lu Shang couldn't tell what was wrong with this picture, why did it look like a newlywed couple in an idol drama, he didn't like oily smoke, he leaned against the door and didn't go in: "What are you doing?"

"Egg Burrito."

There are some ingredients in the refrigerator for guests to prepare by themselves, but there are very few people who really know how to cook, Li Sui quickly spread the omelette on the plate and began to brush the sauce on it.

Lu Shang waited for the oily smoke to dissipate, walked over, and saw that the emerald green cucumber shreds were neatly cut on the plate, the tail of the baked bacon was slightly curled, and there was a casserole next to it, in which a small half pot of pumpkin porridge was cooked. It was bubbling, and the sweet smell permeated the kitchen, whetting the appetite.The combination of meat and vegetables is suitable, salty and sweet. Naturally, it is impossible to have such a complete set in the refrigerator. He probably rushed to the market to buy it early in the morning.

"Why did you suddenly think of cooking?"

"Just do it if you want to." Li Sui lowered his head and rolled up the egg pancake, cut it into two pieces and put it on the plate, and took two bowls to hold the porridge.

Lu Shang stared at him for a while, didn't speak, and turned to the bathroom thoughtfully. When he came out after washing and changing, breakfast was already on the table, and Li Sui was sitting at the table peeling the shrimp. In the bowl, the shrimp tails and shrimp intestines were all cleaned, leaving only balls of pink and tender shrimp meat.

The sense of disobedience in his heart became stronger, and he always wondered if the child had taken the wrong medicine today.

"Come to have a taste?" Li Sui looked at him with apprehension and anticipation.

Confused, Lu Shang went to the dining table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks and couldn't help but pause: "You did all this?"

"Yes."

The crust is golden in color and moderate in thickness. It looks fluffy, but the crust is crispy when you bite into it. It is slightly chewy, full of egg flavor, and the sauce just overflows from the interlayer, mixed with the fragrance of cucumber and bacon The smokiness is not only delicious, but familiar.

"How is it?" Li Sui hurriedly asked.

"Not bad." Lu Shang nodded.

This sentence is not perfunctory. The egg rolls are indeed well made, exactly the same as Aunt Lu's. After half a month since they came out, he really misses the taste of home.This child doesn't usually cook, but he didn't expect to be able to cook, and he observes meticulously.Lu Shang really likes omelets, but he eats very little of them, because the omelets must be made with more oil to make them delicious, and he cannot eat too much oil due to his health, so Aunt Lu rarely makes them for him .

Since Li Sui came to Lu's house, Aunt Lu has only done it a total of two or three times. Unexpectedly, he stretched out his chopsticks twice more, which made Li Sui notice, and secretly learned how to do it.

Li Sui looked very happy, and pushed the bowl in his hand: "Try this shrimp, I've already peeled it."

This show of favor was too obvious, Lu Shang couldn't help it, and raised his head with a complex expression: "You..."

Li Sui's expression changed slightly: "What's wrong? Can't you eat?"

"You...help me get the medicine."

It's also rare that Lu Shang sometimes couldn't ask a question, it wasn't that he didn't understand Li Sui's thoughts, on the contrary, it was precisely because he knew what was in Li Sui's heart that he couldn't bear to expose him.This child has a pure heart, and the reason why he does this is just to be nice to him. In front of this purity, all words seem too utilitarian.

I don't know if it's because of the high temperature in Hainan, but after coming here, Lu Shang's health has improved a lot, and he hasn't felt much discomfort after going out for a walk in the past two days.Like a little tail, Li Sui obeyed Uncle Yuan's instructions and followed Lu Shang every step of the way. At first, Lu Shang thought that he was not used to the strange environment, so he took care of him in every possible way, but later he found out that the person being taken care of was himself.

Li Sui didn't know where he learned it, and he stuck to him like glue. He kept his food and clothing expenses in mind, kept his eyes on him from morning to night, and listened to him even when he was taking a bath. Movement outside the house.Rao Lu Shang, who has always been calm, couldn't stand it anymore, and thought he had to find a time to talk to him.

In the evening, Yan Ke called and said he wanted to invite him to dinner, but he was vague on the phone. Lu Shang knew that he had other things to say, so he took Li Sui with him. In the private seat, a pair of red eyes.

Sima Jingrong changed into casual clothes today, with a dazzling stud earring in his left ear, much more normal than that on the cruise ship that day.Seeing them, he immediately stood up and awkwardly made a "please" gesture.

The two looked at each other and sat down one after another.

"Uncle Lu, I would like to toast you, thank you for helping me that day." Sima Jingrong said at least 1.8 meters five, and he was big, and when he called uncle, Li Sui heard it very harshly for some reason.

Lu Shang looked as usual, he didn't take the glass of wine, touched him with the teacup next to him, and drank it up.

Sima Jingrong froze for a moment, with a hurt expression on his face, and drank the wine awkwardly.

"Is your family okay?" Lu Shang filled up his teacup.

"That's it, my dad said he won't care about me from now on." When it came to family matters, Sima Jingrong showed some impatience on his face again, "Uncle Yan asked me to go back and talk to him, but his violent temper Knowing that I made a fuss in Hainan, it would be strange if I didn't beat me to death when I went back, so I don't want to go back and get beaten."

Lu Shang refused to comment, and said indifferently: "After all, it is your father."

"Father?" Sima Jingrong said disdainfully, "If he still had a little affection for me, he wouldn't ask me for the shares my mother left me before she died."

Lu Shang keenly noticed something unusual. The Sima family is a matrilineal family. They started out as a clothing agent and later started to do e-commerce. After dying in childbirth, he married the youngest daughter of the Sima family.This man is a genius. With his own ability, he used the Sima family's money to open his own subsidiary company, creating a one-stop model integrating logistics and online sales. It has developed all the way to the present, and has almost monopolized the three major industries in North China, Central China and South China. The agency right in the region was also listed on the GEM the year before last.

"No way," Lu Shang rubbed the rim of the cup calmly, telling him, "As far as I know, Mr. Yue is not that kind of person."

"You are confused by his appearance," Sima Jingrong said urgently, "He also threatened me that he would return the money after lending it to him. Who did he lie to? If I gave him the money, he would definitely give it back to Sima Yan later. , I'm not stupid!"

Sima Jingrong's mother was the sole shareholder of the company. After his mother passed away, [-]% of the shares went to Sima Jingrong, and only [-]% went to her husband, Yue Pengfei.This amount of equity was nothing at the time, but after so many years, e-commerce has developed rapidly, and after some operations by Yue Pengfei, it is no longer the original scale. Sima Jingrong doesn't care about business matters. I know how rich I am.

As for Yue Pengfei's little trick, Sima Jingrong couldn't understand it, but Lu Shang almost immediately understood Yue Pengfei's intention, he wanted to go public through a backdoor.

After the listing, a large proportion of allotment shares will be used to raise funds and change the company's current structure. The company's prospects and operability can be greatly improved. Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.According to this analysis, although the father is ambitious, it may not be that he has not considered the situation of his son.

"Uncle Lu, what do you think I should do?" Sima Jingrong asked for help.

Lu Shang felt a little strange: "Didn't your father send you to study business?"

"Give it away, but I don't understand. I'm not short of money. What are you doing learning these things? Besides, the sky is high and the road is far away. Who knows what will happen to my family after I leave."

No wonder Yue Pengfei liked his youngest son. If he were his father, he would be pissed off.

Even Li Sui couldn't listen anymore: "Then you have become a miser?"

Lu Shang gently tugged him under the table, but he couldn't speak directly, he just persuaded him gently: "At your age, you should still put your studies first."

Li Sui turned his head and glanced at Lu Shang, but he remembered that he had heard from Uncle Yuan before that when Lu Shang's father died of illness and Lu Shang returned home urgently to carry the entire Dongyan Group by himself, what happened to them at this age? Almost, it can only be said that the gap between people is too great.

Yan Ke came late, Li Sui nodded and greeted him: "Brother Yan."

"Hey, I'm late, there's a traffic jam on the road," Yan Ke said with a smile, "How about just drinking, order, the seafood here is good." After finishing speaking, he called the waiter to bring the menu.

With the last contact, Li Sui became less restrained towards this elder, poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "I was too impulsive last time, thank you Brother Yan for helping me out," turning his head Xiang Sima also nodded, "Jing Rong will also take care of me."

When he spoke, he specially emphasized the word "big brother", as if deliberately correcting his seniority, Sima Jingrong was stunned for a moment, his face was full of colors.There was a little smile on the corner of Lu Shang's mouth, and he didn't speak. Yan Ke reacted and slapped his forehead: "It's my fault, Jingrong, you should still be called Brother Lu from now on. He's not a few years older than you, blame me, blame me , The seniority is messed up, I always feel that you are still the little fat man back then, and it was only when I saw Xiao Li that I realized that you should be of the same generation, hahaha..."

Sima Jingrong blushed, Lu Shang smiled at him and said, "He's just joking, call him whatever you want."

"I, I'm going to make some sauces..." Sima Jingrong stood up awkwardly.

"I'll go too." Li Sui also followed.

Yan Ke looked at the backs of the two, and couldn't help but said: "Aren't you afraid that they will fight?"

Lu Shang lowered his head and drank his tea: "It's easier for people of the same age to communicate, and I, as an uncle, won't join in the fun."

"Why do you still hold grudges?"

Lu Shang glanced up and changed the topic: "Do you have any business relationship with Yue Pengfei? Get me a line."

"Yes, yes, what do you want to do?"

"He wants to backdoor, I happen to have a big gift here, he should like it."

Yan Ke has always been very particular about reciprocity when it comes to things in the mall, so he nodded immediately: "Wait for my news."

The dishes are self-service, with various condiments lined up, and guests can choose according to their preferences. Li Sui avoided chili sauce and mustard, and made a sweet and sour sauce and a salty sauce.

Sima Jingrong, who was on the side, couldn't see it, so he scooped up a spoonful of chili sauce and made a gesture to put it in his bowl: "You need to add some spice."

Li Sui hurriedly grabbed the sauce and walked away: "I don't want it."

"What's delicious without adding spicy food?"

"You can add it yourself if you like it, what do you care about me?"

Sima Jingrong rolled his eyes in disdain: "No taste."

Not to be outdone, Li Sui choked back, "It's bad taste to have a taste different from yours. You still take yourself so seriously."

Sima Jingrong choked, and straddled in front of him: "Don't think I'll be grateful to you just because you said a few words that day!"

"You are grateful to me and my life has not been sublimated." Li Sui raised his head.

The two faced each other, they were about the same height, their eyes could not wait for fire to shine, Li Sui shouted in a low voice, "Get out of the way."

Sima Jingrong stared at him fiercely, confronted for a long while, but was still discouraged, and slowly backed away.

During the meal, Yan Ke and Lu Shang were basically talking. Sima Jingrong was like a ball that has been shattered, and he ate listlessly.Li Sui was busy peeling crabs for Lu Shang with his head down, without even looking at him.

Halfway through the meal, Yan Ke couldn't bear it any longer. The two showed their love so much that even he, who was already a father, started to feel embarrassed. ah."

Lu Shang put down his chopsticks and took the two crabs from his hand: "I'll do it."

Li Sui was not willing to let him do it, so he quickly took it away: "I will do it myself."

Sima Jingrong on the side looked back and forth between the two people on the opposite side, with a strange look on his face. He didn't know what the relationship between Lu Shang and Li Sui was. The higher-ups thought, but now they looked more and more wrong, so they hurriedly turned their heads and glanced at Yan Ke.Yan Ke understood his eyes, smiled and dug a spoonful of steamed eggs with clams into his bowl, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "I forgot to tell you, they are a couple."

After being affirmed, Sima Jingrong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face was ashen.

Li Sui glanced at him inadvertently, as if on purpose, and whispered something in Lu Shang's ear, Lu Shang curled his mouth and nodded.

Sima Jingrong's face was flushed red, and he felt that the two must be talking about something shameful. The rich associations for a while were like a flood that had been released, and he was stunned until he left the table. Still sluggish.

When leaving, Li Sui bid farewell to Yan Ke, and Sima Jingrong just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly took out a business card and handed it to him.Li Sui was puzzled for a moment and didn't pick it up.

Sima Jingrong became impatient instead: "Take it."

Li Sui turned his head and glanced at Lu Shang, the latter didn't give any instructions, he relied entirely on his own attitude, so he reached out to take it: "This is?"

"My phone number," Sima Jingrong said awkwardly, "you can call me if you need anything."

Li Sui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt joy in his heart. Before he could speak, the person opposite raised his hand and followed Yan Ke.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Shang caught a glimpse of whether he was about to smile or not.

"This guy is really interesting." Li Sui said, shaking his business card, turned his head and smiled at Lu Shang, "Is this the first friend I've made?"

Lu Shang analyzed: "The Sima family is powerful, if you can be friends with him, it will be very helpful to you in the future."

Lu Shang was also surprised by Sima's move. He also couldn't understand the world of young people. The two children's personalities were completely different, so he really couldn't figure out how to get along with each other if they became friends.Li Sui is introverted and mature, Sima is outwardly childish, but the two have something in common, both are pure enough.

"My words were so ugly, I thought he would hate me."

"He just refuses to admit it, but actually agrees with your words."

Indeed, Sima Jingrong didn't have any problems with his three views. This kid understood right and wrong, but his mental age had not yet grown up. It could be seen from the fact that he called uncle whenever he saw people, and his self-awareness was not accurate enough. People are really lazy.If one day he realizes himself and studies diligently in the righteous way, he may not be a talent to be made.

"I didn't want to target him either," Li Sui confessed, "I don't want others to call you so old."

Lu Shang touched his chin leisurely: "Am I old?"

"Under thirty, how old are you?" Li Sui paused, then whispered: "Even if you are old, I will accompany you."

A car whistle whizzed by the side of the road, Lu Shang turned his head: "What did you just say?"

Li Sui hurriedly avoided his gaze: "It's nothing."
