After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant

When Shi Yunnan walked up to the rooftop, the night wind was blowing loudly.

The hotel specially reinforced high fences around the roof, and locked the door on the outermost side, just to prevent dangerous accidents.

Shi Yunnan looked around, fixed his eyes on a cement-enclosed water tank, and walked over with the things in his hands unhurriedly.

As he got closer, he naturally saw the person behind the water tank——

Yuan Rui leaned his back against the concrete wall, hugged his legs tightly with his hands and curled himself up in a small ball, his head was still buried in his knees, and there was a faint sobbing sound.

At this moment, the figure that usually belonged to him disappeared without a trace.

Shi Yunnan calmed down a little, and heaved a sigh of relief, "How old are you? Are you still hiding here and crying secretly?"

"..."

Yuan Rui, who was sitting on the ground, stiffened his shoulders, and raised his eyes slowly.

There was only an old-fashioned light that was almost faint on the roof, which happened to be stuck above the water tank where they were, and the light was scattered enough for the two to see each other's existence clearly.

Seeing Shi Yunnan who suddenly appeared here, Yuan Rui wanted to strengthen his self-esteem, "Why are you here? Also, how do you know I'm here?"

Shi Yunnan put down the dozen of cold beers he brought, and raised his eyebrows, "The front desk in the hotel lobby said that he hadn't seen you coming down, and the other floors are mostly guest rooms or banquet halls. I thought about it, you should just run up."

No, cats catch mice, one catches one.

Shi Yunnan took out one of the cans of cold beer, knelt down and handed it over, "Here."

Yuan Rui hesitated for a moment, then felt that his face was lost today, and he had nothing to struggle with.

So, he took Shi Yunnan's cold beer in a broken can, "What, how can beer taste good enough?"

Shi Yunnan heard his awkward and disgusted tone, snorted and yelled at him, "Then don't drink it, just apply it to your swollen face, it's so ugly."

"..."

Yuan Rui was slapped hard by Yuan Puguang, and the right half of his face was still red and swollen, coupled with the red eye sockets and nose that had obviously cried, he was embarrassed and cute at the same time.

Having said that, thanks to his decent-looking face, otherwise, I don't know how disgusting it would be.

Yuan Rui didn't answer, just pressed the cold beer on his face.

Because he used too much force for a while, he subconsciously hissed, and immediately glanced at Shi Yunnan in embarrassment.

Shi Yunnan didn't hide his smile at all, took out a can of liquor from his windbreaker pocket, and handed it over, "Take it, the one with the highest alcohol concentration, I'm not responsible if I get drunk."

Yuan Rui stared down at the white wine stuffed into his palm, and suddenly felt a slight touch——

Help.

Shi Yunnan is still so considerate?

He could still guess that he wanted to drink strong liquor right now.

Shi Yunnan met his gaze, and simply sat down opposite him, "Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes, I have a husband."

"... Shi Yunnan, you!"

Yuan Rui was so stunned that he had nothing to say, so he could only hold a cold beer on his face in one hand, while biting off the cap of the liquor bottle with his mouth, "Stop being narcissistic, I didn't fall in love with you again."

In an instant, the strong and rich smell of alcohol penetrated into the tip of Yuan Rui's nose, choking him to cough.

Shi Yunnan casually picked up the beer on the ground, took the initiative to touch him, and then raised his head and drank it on his own.

Yuan Rui watched his actions secretly, the corners of his mouth curled unconsciously, and he quickly swallowed it back as if he had noticed something.

When he had disputes with Yuan Puguang in the past, he either went to a nightclub to drink alone, or hid to vent.

Yuan Rui felt that he hated being interrupted by someone at such a time, but when facing Shi Yunnan who suddenly appeared in front of him, he rarely had an illusion——

It would be fine if the other party is your friend.

Shi Yunnan drank silently without saying a word, Yuan Rui simply drank the wine.

The night wind blows in gusts, blowing up the drunkenness little by little.

Yuan Rui drank hard enough, probably because of the pressure on his heart, within half an hour, he asked sullenly, "Shi Yunnan, don't you want to know what happened in the box just now?"

"You guys are sitting next door, did you hear everything?"

Shi Yunnan shook the beer in his hand, and replied calmly, "I haven't heard much, and I haven't heard enough."

"Don't worry, I won't ask you what happened today. When you calm down and confirm that there will be no accidents, I will ignore the 'life and death' of you, a drunkard."

This was said indifferently, as if he just regarded Yuan Rui as an insignificant stranger.

These words are thoughtful enough, at least for Yuan Rui at this moment, there is less questioning and ridicule, and more companionship and dignity.

Yuan Rui's heart moved, "Why? Because I helped you in the black shop that time?"

Shi Yunnan didn't deny it, "I said it, I don't like to owe favors."

Yuan Rui curled his lips, "I wasn't helping you that time, I just passed by and couldn't stand it anymore."

Shi Yunnan didn't answer, and was silent for a long time, Yuan Rui seemed to be unable to hold back his violent temper.

He put down the can of beer that covered his face, patted his painful but cold face, and said sullenly, "My dad has that kind of temper, and he usually wouldn't hit me in front of outsiders."

"..."

When Shi Yunnan heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He thought that Yuan Rui's performance in the box would be full of resentment to Yuan Puguang and complained, but he didn't expect that the first sentence the other party spoke was to explain for his father?

"You can see my dad's age? He's younger than the parents of my friends of the same age."

Yuan Rui didn't deliberately look at Shi Yunnan, but just told him to someone on the spot, as if talking to himself to find an outlet for himself.

"The five or six generations of the Yuan family from me to the top have been engaged in jade carving. I heard that the jade carvings made by the patriarch and grandfather can still be tributes to the palace."

In that era when the level of education was not yet high, there was a saying that was most believed in the art industry - strict teachers make excellent apprentices.

It is not uncommon for masters to beat, scold, discipline and even physically punish their disciples.

Those who are talented and able to endure, finally got the master's craft, inherited the mantle and continued to work.Those who have no talent and can't stand it will naturally have to change their careers and find another way to make a living.

"At my father's age, when he was young, he learned the craft of jade carving from his grandfather by beating and scolding him. My mother said that the more he learns, the more interesting he is. He has been immersed in jade carving all his life and can't tolerate other craft."

The foundation of Yuan's family rules is to be proficient in the jade carving industry, so you can't be half-hearted.

"He only had me when he was almost 50 years old. He loved me, but he also put all his hopes on me."

"I heard my mother mention..."

Yuan Rui took a sip of wine for himself, coughed twice, and then continued——

When drawing lots on his first birthday, he picked up a piece of jade sculpture carved by Yuan Puguang himself, and was praised by the guests who came, saying that "the son inherits his father's career" and "he was born to eat like this".

Thinking about that time now, the heavy burden was pressed on Yuan Rui invisibly.

Yuan Rui thought of his age of six or seven, when the other children were still playing around and didn't even understand the word "study art", he had already grasped the carving knife and sat in front of the workbench all day long. .

"At that time, I was weak, and the carving knife and jade were hard. I could grind my fingertips with blisters and bloodstains just by carving a word flat. I couldn't help crying, and the child lost the jade in a temper. , and ended up being beaten by my dad with a willow stick."

Because the painful memory is too deep, Yuan Rui still vaguely remembers the heart-piercing day that day.

Shi Yunnan frowned slightly.

Whipping with wicker?This is an overly pedantic rule left over from the older generation.

In comparison, when he was six or seven years old, at least he was still in his mother's tender embrace, and the so-called 'father' Shi Sheng still looked like a father.

"My mother often told me that I am my father's own son, so he naturally has higher and stricter demands on me. Teacher... Lu Zhaoan was adopted. Although my father also raised him as his own son, but after all You can't beat and scold for real."

"I believe this!" Yuan Rui nodded emphatically, and added with a gleam in his eyes, "But Lu Zhao'an has always been good at whatever he does, and he will never be beaten or scolded by my dad."

"In some professions, it depends on talent!" Yuan Rui's bitterness and grievance became heavier with the drunkenness.

"Lu Zhao'an can tell what jade textures are suitable for engraving at a glance, but I can't. When I finally develop this vision, his jade carving works can already be sold in the shop."

In terms of experience, he is not as good as Lu Zhaoan.

In terms of talent, he is not as good as Lu Zhaoan.

Living under the same roof, and learning from the same person, comparing day by day and year after year, he is always incomparable.

"I know, my dad is starting to be disappointed in me. He's full of depression in his heart that he can't 'inherit his father's career', so every time he praises Lu Zhao'an, he has to say something to me by the way."

"Every time you scold me, you always say, 'Look at your senior brother, how could I, Yuan Puguang, have such a useless son like you'!"

"..."

Shi Yunnan still didn't answer, but kept silent and silent as a listener.

But he knows that young people have their own minds, and if they live in the 'shadow' of another for a long time, problems will arise in the long run.

Yuan Rui felt a little ridiculous, and there was a hint of crying in his voice, "I also know, I will never be able to compare with Lu Zhao'an, he is the moon in the sky, and I am the mud in the ground."

"In the eyes of my dad and those jade carvers, and even in Lu Zhao'an's heart, I will always be the one who is not qualified."

Not qualified enough, let alone stand side by side.

Yuan Rui began to become rebellious, became sloppy, and no longer abided by the rules, just trying to gain a ridiculous self-esteem and face in front of others.

"I want them to know that even if I don't work in the jade carving industry, I can still have my own life!"

Yuan Rui laughed at himself, before Shi Yunnan could open his mouth, he admitted, "Yes, this idea is naive, but I can only think of such resistance."

Then what he got in exchange was Yuan Puguang's higher-than-ever disputes and beatings.

"The more you are like this, the more you care about Yuan Shi." Shi Yunnan pointed out sharply.

The real indifference is that he walked away without nostalgia for Shi Shi.

Yuan Rui met Shi Yunnan's gaze, and for the first time did not deny it awkwardly, "Yes, because my surname is Yuan! No matter how capable I am, I don't want to watch our family go downhill!"

"You are like them, do you really think I care about Yuan's little capital?" Yuan Rui shook his head, "Wrong."

Yuan Rui knew that Lu Zhao'an was more capable of managing the Yuan family than himself, and he didn't complain that the person who took care of the Yuan family now was the other party.

It's just that the blow to self-esteem since childhood and the low self-esteem that intensified in his heart day and night did not allow Yuan Rui to say anything about surrendering to Lu Zhao'an.

"On the day when you had an accident in the warehouse, you came to me more and said that he wanted to invest in Yuan's newly added jade design, and the share will be calculated according to the shares in the future."

When Shi Yunnan heard this, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his brows——

Sure enough, some trajectories of fate would still overlap. Unexpectedly, Xie Keyue still wanted to profit from the Yuan family at this juncture.

"I didn't agree at first." Yuan Rui said.

On the one hand, he knew that Luzhao Security was responsible for this matter, and he didn't want to find another 'investor' to check and balance the other party's future decisions.

On the other hand, it is because Yuan's jade carving has gone downhill, and the newly opened jade design is still uncertain whether it will be profitable.

In other words, when Lu Zhaoan consulted with Yuan Puguang, he felt that unless he could grit his teeth and persevere until the market was opened up, he would definitely lose money in the early stage.

Yuan Rui didn't want to cheat his friends.

"I'm actually very confused about what's going on between you, Ke Yue and the Shi family, but for me, Ke Yue is indeed the only friend who has recognized me since I was a child."

When Yuan Rui said this sentence, he suddenly remembered Shi Yunnan's compliment to him in the warehouse that day, so he silently added a sentence in his heart: You should be the second one.

Yuan Rui is somewhat talented in the recognition and judgment of rough stones and jade, but this ability is the most basic and the least valuable in the eyes of jade carving masters like Yuan Puguang.

Shi Yunnan looked at Yuan Rui who was beginning to show a drunken state, but his eyes were rarely innocent and serious, and understood——

Yuan Rui grew up amid such oppressive words, what he needed most was the approval of outsiders.

As for Xie Keyue's mouth, water could be called honey by him.Not to mention, he probably approached Yuan Rui with a purpose from the very beginning.

In Shi Yunnan's dream in the original book, Yuan Rui is indeed one of the few friends that Xie Keyue associates with sincerity. Perhaps the friendship between the two at the beginning was based on this foundation.

"After I rejected Ke Yue's proposal for the first time, he said that he would accept his fate even if he lost money in the end."

However, the only condition for Xie Keyue to invest is to let his friend Yuan Rui participate in Yuan's jade design instead of him.

He said that he was working on Shi's side, so he couldn't do two things at once, he could only do investment.

"But the more I recognize my ability to identify jade, the more I feel that it is better for me to guard my own property than others. Even if something happens in the future, the decision-making power will be in Lu Zhao'an's hands."

Shi Yunnan twitched the corners of his mouth indiscriminately.

Xie Keyue really packaged himself as a good person this time. On the one hand, he gave Yuan Rui enough face, and on the other hand, he treated himself as a shopkeeper.

Probably because of the failure to personally participate in investment projects the first two times, Xie Keyue is more conservative this time.

But the most important thing is that Xie Keyue, the "book wearer", never makes unsure investments. Since he is willing to invest in the Yuan family, it means that the jade design of the Yuan family is destined to make money in all likelihood. of.

After pouring the last sip of white wine, Yuan Rui leaned against the concrete wall and murmured, "While I was persuaded by him, in fact, I also hid some invisible selfishness."

"what?"

Yuan Rui hummed twice as if mocking himself, and the feeling of grievance in his heart came back, "...I want to help him."

Shi Yunnan was stunned for two seconds before realizing that the "he" in Yuan Rui's mouth was Lu Zhao'an, and then, even if Yuan Rui didn't speak, he guessed the reason——

Lu Zhaoan broke the Yuan family's rules of "fine diamond jade carving" and changed to jade design, which must have doubts and pressure from other people.

If he loses too much in the end, everyone's responsibility and blame will fall on him alone, but with Xie Keyue's investment, at least the financial pressure can be reduced.

What's more, Yuan Rui joined voluntarily. If he does it seriously, he can help in jade procurement and material selection. Even if he fails in the end, Lu Zhao'an will not be responsible for the scolding alone.

On the contrary, more scolding will be concentrated on Yuan Rui——

Because he is the only son of Yuan Puguang, and also because he was a waste of 'can't do things' since he was a child.

Since ancient times, mediocre people have been infamous.

After Shi Yunnan thought for a moment, Yuan Rui on the opposite side was sobbing completely because of the drunkenness, "I specially reserved a hotel room, and I wanted to tell them seriously that I also want to do my best for the Yuan family..."

But he just mentioned the beginning, and he was blocked back by Yuan Puguang involuntarily.

The hope in his heart was in vain, Yuan Rui hurriedly refuted a few sentences, and only then did the two accusations that Shi Yunnan and others heard in the middle of the dinner party.

"Where is Xie Keyue? Why did he come?"

Shi Yunnan asked questions without hesitation, he clearly remembered that Xie Keyue was not there when the two families first met at the elevator entrance.

Yuan Rui shook his head, "I told him about today, and I also told him not to come for now."

After all, Yuan Rui wanted to convince his parents first, and then find time to bring his friends and family to meet again later.

In this way, even if it fails, the friendship between him and Xie Keyue will not be particularly damaged.

"But it's probably because I'm afraid that I won't be able to convince my parents, so I came here temporarily."

"The result? My dad started talking to me more and more fiercely in front of him. I really tried to bear it, but I still couldn't hold back my temper..."

The more Yuan Rui thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, the confidence he had built up with great difficulty in the past few days collapsed at that moment.

"Shi, Shi Yunan." He raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, tears accumulated in his eyes but refused to fall.

"In the eyes of you outsiders, am I really... very bad..."

So bad that no matter how hard he tried, no one would believe that he wanted to do something seriously?

Shi Yunnan looked at Yuan Rui who was holding back his mouth and crying in front of his eyes at the moment, and inexplicably thought of the little goldfish at home, probably because of this face that hadn't even wiped off the milk fat.

Shi Yunnan moved a little closer, and said honestly, "Although you have a stubborn and arrogant temper, I think your heart is not bad. No one can be perfect, you and I are the same."

Shi Yunnan touched his pocket, but he didn't bring a tissue, "Cry if you want to, I won't laugh at you."

"..."

The corner of Yuan Rui's mouth tried hard to hold back, but tears fell down one after another.

The grievances and inferiority for many years poured out like a torrent at this moment, and they unexpectedly leaned on Shi Yunnan's shoulder without thinking.

Shi Yunnan froze for half a second, but Yuan Rui's cry stopped the hand that wanted to push back.

"I'm not playing. I, I really just want to help them. Why has he only scolded me since I was a child?"

The more reprimanded Yuan Rui was, the more he was afraid of making mistakes, and the more he was afraid of making mistakes, the less he could concentrate on doing well.

At the beginning, Yuan Rui was willing to follow Lu Zhao'an and call his senior brother cheerfully, but gradually, those polarizing reprimands and praises made the distance between them farther and farther.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up.

Because of the inferiority complex deep in his heart that could not be resolved, Yuan Rui began to accept his fate, began to give up struggling, and began to watch other masters and elders lift each other up to the high platform, and then let himself fall into the mud.

The more the other party accommodated him, the more he resisted.

...

The more Yuan Rui cried, the more confused he became, and he even hiccupped untimely.

Shi Yunnan didn't expect Yuan Rui to have a crying side, and now he was entwined by him who was drunk, crying so much that even his windbreaker was more than half wet.

In desperation, he had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and send a location to Lu Zhao'an on WeChat, concise and to the point——

"Come to pick up your little crying bag."

From sending out the message to rushing to the rooftop, it took Lu Zhaoan less than 10 minutes.

Panting, his eyes were full of worries that could not dissipate, and he barely suppressed his panting until he got close to the two of them, "Mr. Shi, I'm sorry to trouble you."

In the box just now, even though Yuan Puguang strictly prohibited it, Lu Zhaoan, who was worried, still defied his teacher's order and ran out, but Yuan Rui turned off his phone immediately, and he couldn't find anyone.

Yuan Rui fell asleep halfway through crying, and now he can still snore.

"..."

Shi Yunnan didn't hide his dislike, and felt it was funny, "It's hard for you to have such a junior brother in the booth."

Lu Zhao'an didn't speak, but with Shi Yunnan's assistance, he carried Yuan Rui back on his body.

Shi Yunnan picked up the beer bottles on the ground, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Lu, to tell you the truth, I don't have a good relationship with Xie Keyue."

"If the Yuan family accepted Xie Keyue's investment, then I probably wouldn't choose to cooperate."

Spend your energy to make money for the enemy?

Shi Yunnan did not have such a good manner.

Lu Zhao'an's expression changed slightly, and he answered truthfully, "Master, the old man has no plans to invest and cooperate with Xie Keyue. He just said some serious things at the dinner table. In fact, he just wanted Mr. Xie to retreat."

After all, the visitor was a guest, no matter how unwilling Yuan Puguang was, he couldn't get angry in front of Xie Keyue, so he pointed the finger at his own son.

It's just that Yuan Puguang got used to talking and didn't take Yuan Rui's mood into consideration, so a big dispute broke out later.

Lu Zhao'an felt sorry for Yuan Rui's setback, but he couldn't blame the mentor who raised him and taught him, and he didn't feel comfortable being caught in the middle.

"Well, then I'll go back first."

Shi Yunnan nodded slightly, and chose to go downstairs with their brothers.

After he drove away, Lu Zhao'an weighed the rarely honest Yuan Rui on his back.

Yuan Rui seemed to be very familiar with this method of reciting, even in his sleep he did not forget to wrap his hands around Lu Zhaoan tightly.

"Brother..."

The raving sound reached his ears, Lu Zhaoan's steps suddenly stopped, and a complicated glint flashed in his eyes.

After a long silence, he walked towards the parking lot with Yuan Rui on his back.

...

When Shi Yunnan returned home, Xiao Jinyu and the others had already washed up and gone to bed.

Luo Lingsheng, who was staying in the study, heard a slight movement on the stairs, immediately put down the report file, and walked out with the wheelchair.

In the next second, the two met their eyes.

The smile on Shi Yunnan's lips widened and he leaned closer, "I thought you were all asleep."

"No, I'm waiting for you." Luo Lingsheng replied.

He changed his words and asked about what happened to his lover in the past two or three hours, "Has the young master Yuan been found? How is the situation?"

After finishing speaking, he caught a glimpse of a large dark water stain on the shoulder of Shi Yunnan's windbreaker, "Why is the coat dirty?"

Shi Yunnan looked down twice, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It's a long story, aren't you busy? I'll tell you when I go back to my room."

Seeing that the light in the study was off, he simply pushed Luo Lingsheng to the bedroom.

After entering the bedroom and closing the door, Shi Yunnan casually sat down beside the bed, and briefly explained everything that happened after he found Yuan Rui.

Luo Lingsheng is not a talkative person, so Shi Yunnan naturally doesn't have to be scruples on purpose.

"Now I can be 100% sure that Yuan Rui is not a bad person himself, but he has not been affirmed since he was a child, which made his personality awkward and reckless."

"It's people like him who are too easy to be used by those who want to."

Luo Lingsheng pierced his hidden words, "You mean Xie Keyue?"

Shi Yunnan hummed, as a tacit consent.

Of course, making friends with other people is a free right, Shi Yunnan is not Xie Keyue, and he will not keep talking bad things about him in front of Yuan Rui.

He pointed to the crying stains on his clothes, recalled Yuan Rui's rare little crying bag, couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't know, I saw Yuan Rui four or five times, and every time he pulled it so hard God, for the first time today, you hugged me and cried?"

"..."

Luo Lingsheng's eyes did not change obviously, "He hugged you?"

Shi Yunnan was still immersed in the 'interesting', and didn't notice the subtle changes in the other party for a while, "Yes, this guy is quite strong when he's drunk, and I can't break free for a while."

"Tell me, if he thinks about his words and deeds tonight when he wakes up tomorrow, will he avoid me when he sees me in the future?"

"Speaking of which, Yuan Rui is not as mature as our little goldfish in some aspects, which is quite funny."

"..."

Luo Lingsheng remained silent.

He always felt that Shi Yunnan always had an indescribable preference for Yuan Rui's evaluation?

Seeing that Luo Lingsheng had been silent for a long time, Shi Yunnan took a closer look and finally found something was wrong.

He approached with great interest, and asked, "Luo Lingsheng, are you listening to me?"

"I heard."

"Then what did I say?"

Luo Lingsheng lightly rubbed his finger on one side, and answered irrelevantly, "Take off your coat, and go take a shower first."

"Okay."

Shi Yunnan took off his coat slowly and deliberately in front of Luo Lingsheng, and teased again, "Husband, what should we do with this coat? It's a few tens of thousands."

Luo Lingsheng saw Shi Yunnan's deliberate teasing, took his hand directly to his arms, and threw out the answer repeatedly, "I don't want to lose this coat."

and also……

You let me hug too.
