The Heart of a Smith

During the dinner, the two chatted while eating. Yan Ke was surprised to find that this "child from other people" who had been compared since he was a child was quite different from the stereotyped image in his impression. .

"Dongyan's shares are in your hands, so I feel relieved, and I have not failed my father's entrustment before he died." Yan Ke poured a glass of wine to toast him, "Not many words, if you need help in the future, just feel free Speak."

Lu Shang toasted, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

"Speaking of exhortations, the two of us can be regarded as sympathetic. My father died early, and your father is not much better. I still have a daughter, you..." Yan Ke was a little drunk, and hiccupped , glanced at Li Sui, who was blocking the wine for Lu Shang, "Your father knows you can't die of anger... no, you're so angry that you come back to life."

What he said was inappropriate, but there was no malice. Lu Shang looked very calm, poured a cup of hot tea and drank it without answering.

After dinner, a group of them quarreled to go to the soup, Li Sui drank too much wine, walked in a daze, and almost walked into the female soup by mistake, and was laughed at by Yan Ke's friends.Although Yan Ke's character is not bad, but the standard of making friends is indeed a bit low. True literature and art rely on connotation, while fake literature and art rely on money. Yan Ke's friends are unfortunately the latter.Many of them looked down on the poor, and Li Sui was in the middle of their desire to find a sense of superiority.

There was no smile on Lu Shang's face this time, he knelt down himself, helped Li Sui pull up his hot spring clothes, and asked, "Have you been here before?"

Li Sui lowered his head and shook.

So Lu Shang patiently told him, where are the lockers, where is the changing room, how to use them, what is the process, and what are the precautions, just like explaining to the parents of elementary school students during a spring outing.

"You are here, you are the customer, if you have any needs, you can ask any waiter to solve them, if someone refuses your reasonable request, you can complain," Lu Shangdao, "If a customer makes you feel uncomfortable, you can also complain."

He was too serious, and the people around him gradually felt embarrassed from watching the jokes, and finally all of them tucked their tails, and no one dared to make jokes about him until he left.

Lu Shang has always kept a low profile. Except for Yan Ke and Sun Mao, most people here don't know him. Before they came, they only knew that Mr. Yan was going to invite a boring man like an old monk to dinner, but they didn't know who this man was.After hearing what Sun Mao said, everyone beat their chests with remorse, and were very annoyed. Of course, this is a later story.

The hot spring water would raise blood pressure, so Lu Shang didn't go into the water, but sat on the bank and watched Li Sui, and waited until he had had enough of playing alone in the soup pool before he fished him out and took him home.

When he was leaving, Yan Ke heard about it, and came here to apologize, but Lu Shang didn't make a statement, but Li Sui smiled, waved his hands against his face flushed by the hot spring water, and said it was okay.

In this regard, Lu Shang has his own stubbornness, which may be related to his experience.He can bear a person who is born lowly and poor, but he can't bear a person who is not enterprising.Just like a person who always laughs at others for their low quotient, usually his own quotient is not much higher, and a person who gains a sense of superiority by belittling the weak is not even as good as the weak, because you can't imagine what kind of humble heart it is , will need a false superiority to cover up.That's why, even though he knew he didn't have much time, he still thought about pulling Li Sui.This child is like a little whale that has been in drought for a long time. He really wants to know what kind of waves he will stir up when he pours a ladle of water.

When I passed the supermarket on my way home, a huge closing notice was pasted on the glass door. Lu Shang planned to buy something before the door was closed, so he asked the driver to go back by himself.

It was the first time for Li Sui to come in, and when he pushed the cart, he was dazzled by the sights, and Lu Shang asked him twice what he wanted to eat, but he didn't hear it.

"Chocolate? Potato chips? Carbonated drinks?"

Li Sui showed a familiar blank look, Lu Shang simply didn't ask any more questions, and just put it in the stroller according to the taste of ordinary children, and even one stroller couldn't fit, so Li Sui raised a frame.

When paying the bill, Li Sui kept staring at the goods rack next to the cash register.

"Take whichever you want." Lu Shang reminded aloud.

Li Sui hesitated for a while, and took a board of dry milk tablets.

It was the first time he put his desire into practice, and Lu Shang couldn't help staring at him for a while, then turned to the cashier and said, "I want this whole box."

"Do you like this?" Lu Shang asked as he put the bags in the cart into the trunk one by one and closed the door.

Li Sui squeezed the milk tablet and nodded, then shook his head, and finally he was also confused, as if caught in some memory.

Lu Shang didn't ask any further questions, and turned his head to concentrate on driving. When the car was about to arrive, Li Sui suddenly opened his mouth.

"As long as I can remember, I have been living in an orphanage. The orphanage is very poor, and it is very difficult to provide three meals a day. Sometimes I am very hungry, and I will steal milk powder with a few children. That kind of dry milk powder, grab a handful and stuff it into your mouth. When I was young, I never ate any snacks. I always thought that milk powder was the most delicious thing in the world. Later, I realized that we stole it from those abandoned in the orphanage. Babies' rations."

Li Sui lowered his head and picked the milk tablet in his hand with his fingers, and smiled slowly: "You brought me here today, and I realized that there are so many snacks in the world."

Hearing this, Lu Shang looked at him, feeling touched in his heart. He held the steering wheel in his hand, continued to look ahead, and asked, "How have you been all these years?"

The tone didn't seem to be asking him, but it was like asking a long-lost old friend, Li Sui paused: "Are you asking me?"

Lu Shang stared at Lu: "Yes."

Li Sui turned his head and seemed to have a few words: "If it is compared with the present, it should be considered bad. After I got lost from the orphanage, I fell into the hands of human traffickers. After several twists and turns, I was finally detained In Li Yan's bar, I stayed there for three years until you brought me back."

"Do you still have any memory of what happened before you went to the orphanage?"

Li Sui was stunned for a moment, and asked back, "Before the orphanage?"

Lu Shang quickly interrupted the conversation: "It's nothing, we're here."

After the Chinese New Year, Lu Shang obviously started to get busy, and he often didn't see anyone for a whole day. Li Sui took advantage of this time to study hard, and his level in all aspects improved by leaps and bounds, and the teacher changed very quickly.

In addition to written courses, Lu Shang also found a coach to guide him in fitness. Li Sui didn't understand at first: "Why do you want to exercise?"

"Strengthen your body so that you don't become a sick person like me." That's how Lu Shang replied.

Li Sui looked at Lu Shang's earnest gaze when he was staring at his body, and always felt that something was wrong, that gaze was obviously more like a flower gardener, looking forward to something growing.

After training for two months, Li Sui found that what he practiced was different from others, and one day he finally couldn't help asking the coach: "Why am I different from them? They all started pushing shoulders and chest. Are you doing crunches and planks?"

"The purpose of training is different, and the content will of course be different." The coach said.

"Different purpose?"

"Didn't you train your abs? This way you can make your abs more visible."

Li Sui: "What? Isn't it to keep fit?"

"Huh? Boss Lu told you so?" The coach looked embarrassed.

Li Sui: "..."

At the beginning, Lu Shang went to observe his training every now and then, but later he was too busy to take care of it, and it was all up to the coach to arrange for him.Li Sui also realized that even without Lu Shang's urging, he would not be left behind, and gradually achieved a lot.

In the process of observing Li Sui, Lu Shang gradually discovered that this child knew far more than he imagined, and the root cause was not difficult to understand.At any rate, Li Sui has been at the bottom for so many years, he is well versed in the trick of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", he hides his edge very well, he looks stupid on the surface, but in fact his mind is very clear .This cautiousness and low-key, which is almost carved into the bone, is actually tempered for survival in the cracks, and the focus of Lu Shang's training him is to release this tenacity in his body and turn it into a weapon in his hands. sword.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and it is another cycle in a blink of an eye.Just after the Spring Festival this year, the days began to get longer. This city seems to have no such thing as spring. It is taking the route of direct winter to summer. As soon as it shaved, the sun began to hang high, and the position of the hot long johns in the store was replaced by the main style of spring clothing.

On the day of Ching Ming Festival, the fashionable women on the street were already wearing stockings and short skirts. Liang Zirui ran back from the United States on this sunny day. As soon as he entered the door, he began to feel the enthusiasm of the motherland for welcoming him, and shouted for him. water to drink.After staying abroad for more than a year, he has gained a lot of weight, and his cheeks are so rosy that he can't wait to shine. Lu Shang teased him after eating Jinkela and was choked back, saying that Li Sui changed more obviously than him, like a full-blown As if out of breath.

"Compared to kids, I'm really promising." Lu Shang handed him a glass of lemonade.

Liang Zirui immediately called out: "Oh, I'm still a child." He turned his head and winked at Lu Shang desperately, meaning to ask if anything happened this year, but Lu Shang blocked his mouth with a piece of durian: "Eat it!" your."

Liang Zirui curled his lips, calling it boring.

"Thank you for your concern, Dr. Liang, I will be the first to tell you when Boss Lu and I have made substantial progress." Li Sui came down the stairs with a headphone cable in one ear, with a calm expression on his face.

Liang Zirui was stunned for a moment, screaming in his heart that it was terrible, this kid had already betrayed behind his back while he wasn't paying attention, and had reached the same side with Lu Shang instead.Immediately, I couldn't help but feel that a child in the growing period should not be underestimated. It has only been more than a year, and he seems to be a different person from appearance to conversation.

"Oh, it seems that I have been reduced to the bottom of the food chain." Liang Zirui was half a head taller than Li Sui, and suddenly he was very depressed.The doctor who was shocked announced bitterly on the spot that both of them would go to Ruige Hospital for examination tomorrow morning.

"I'm going too?" Li Sui was practicing listening recently, and he hung up headphones everywhere, so he couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this.

He has been eating hard and exercising hard for more than a year, and he has been nourished by Lu Shang a lot, the depression on his face due to malnutrition is no longer visible, and because Lu Shang urged him to apply moisturizer every night, his skin is tender and tender Yes, it looks good to knead.

Liang Zirui walked over and rubbed his hair into a mess, and said with a smirk, "Go, go and check how your development is doing."

Chinese people have two abilities that foreigners can't match. One is that they can celebrate any festival as Valentine's Day, and the other is that they can celebrate any festival as a shopping carnival.Going out on Ching Ming Festival, the street is still congested, now everyone does not go to the grave, but goes to the street instead, Uncle Yuan honks all the way to no avail, there are merchants on the side of the road giving away lottery tickets for free, Li Sui opened the car window to pick up one.

Now he is getting more and more courageous, a bit like a budding edge, Lu Shang is very tolerant to him, he hardly controls him, only explains the principled things, and the rest follows his development.After Liang Zirui finished his auscultation, he couldn't help but remind him: "Be careful of breeding tigers."

Lu Shang smiled slightly, expressing his reassurance.He does have the heart to raise tigers, and Li Sui is also a good seedling, but he knows the people he has taught, and if Li Sui is in his hands, he will never become a problem.

Li Sui's inspection items were simpler than Lu Shang's. After the blood was drawn, Lu Shang asked him to go downstairs to have breakfast by himself.Ruige Hospital was next to the largest hospital in the city. Li Sui walked through the corridor and met an unexpected person——Li Yan.

He was dressed in black, wearing a pair of coquettish sunglasses, leaning in the corridor, talking to him next to a young woman, she looked well-maintained, no makeup, wearing big sunglasses and a mask, in fact, this kind of dress In this kind of place it looks garish.

Li Sui deliberately turned his head to avoid him, but unexpectedly he was recognized first.

"Isn't this Lu Shang's little lover?" Li Yan put his hands in his pockets, and said in a cynical tone, "Why are you running away, afraid that I will eat you?"

Li Sui turned his head, and Li Yan sized him up, with inexplicable hostility in his tone: "Why, he hasn't tired of you yet?"

I haven't seen him for a while, Li Sui's change is very astonishing, Li Yan sees it in his eyes, but the more he sees it, the more unhappy he feels in his heart, also, when Li Sui was in the bar, he was obviously a timid little kid, but when he arrived at Lu Shang's place, he changed suddenly It became this radiant look.It's like giving someone a useless broken stone from his home, but they took it back and threw the outer layer and found a piece of rough jade inside. It's no wonder he wasn't depressed.

Li Sui has learned a lot from being with Lu Shang these days, and Li Yan's mentality is somewhat familiar to him, even if he can't help but feel that this person is extremely naive.So he adjusted his tone, polite and alienated: "What's the matter?"

"Tsk, this tone, I am your former boss anyway," Li Yan took the number slip from the woman next to him, "Do me a favor, get your sister-in-law a test result."

Li Sui raised his head and glanced at the "sister-in-law" next to him, but the latter lowered his head and didn't look at him.

He didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling, so Li Sui had no choice but to help him go to the automatic teller machine to scan the barcode, and a list came out, Li Sui glanced at it and was taken aback for a while.

He walked over and asked, "What is this for?"

"Abortion." Li Yan didn't shy away from it at all.

After finishing speaking, he joked again: "Speaking of which, what are you doing in the hospital, and you won't bring someone to have an abortion?"
