Pure jade and gold

Yuan Rui sat in the suite he rented, allowing his friends to look around and wander around the room.

"I didn't say, Yuan Rui, how can your refrigerator be so empty? It's just here as a decoration, right?"

Fu Ziyu wandered around the kitchen and couldn't help complaining, "If I hadn't been smart enough to buy some ingredients before coming here, the three of us would just drink tap water tonight."

Shi Yunnan at the side picked up the tissue on the table and threw it away, giving a hint with his eyes, "Stop talking, cook quickly."

Fu Ziyu caught the tissue bag, looked back and forth between Yuan Rui and Shi Yunnan, and smiled helplessly, "Come on, my good sons are waiting, Dad will show you a good trick tonight."

Seeing the interaction between the two, Yuan Rui smiled.

Shi Yunnan and Fu Ziyu were friends since childhood. Later, after he and Shi Yunnan didn't know each other, he got acquainted with Fu Ziyu by the way.

A day ago, he fled from Dehua County and bought the earliest flight back to Dijing.

Before returning to the studio, Yuan Rui deliberately adjusted his state, but within 3 minutes after entering the office, he was caught by the sharp-eyed Shi Yunnan.

Seeing Yuan Rui's thin and haggard state, Shi Yunnan couldn't stand it anymore, so he put down his work and took his friend home.

Shi Yunnan himself was a rookie in cooking, so he called Fu Ziyu over with another call.

"Go away." Shi Yunnan chuckled lightly, and replied, "Why do you want to take advantage of words every day?"

Yuan Rui followed suit with a smile, and asked casually, "Ziyu really knows how to cook? Don't annoy him, and then poison the food."

"Yes, just wait and eat."

Shi Yunnan calmly sat beside Yuan Rui, he thought of the jade carving workshop he had just seen next to the bedroom, a look of clarity and reluctance flashed across his eyes, "Yuan Rui, you haven't given up on jade carving yet?"

"..."

Yuan Rui's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and he explained casually, "No, I gave up a long time ago, just kidding."

"The room was empty and empty, so I moved some instruments in. The studio is so busy with business, I haven't moved much."

This is a half-truth.

It is true that the business of the studio is really busy. Yuan Rui often stays up late to work and can only sleep well, so he really doesn't have much time to go to jade carving.

The fake is that since Lu Zhaoan left, he has indeed tried to pick up the craft of jade carving again.He wants to make himself better, and he also expects that the other party will praise him for his progress when he comes back.

Now the desire to "want Lu Zhao'an to come back" is broken, and the jade carving dream that was barely supported has completely disintegrated.

"You, you are the youngest in our group, don't push yourself too hard."

Shi Yunnan guessed that there must be a problem between Yuan Rui and Lu Zhao'an, so he didn't deliberately mention the other person's name.

"I'm in charge of the studio, and the news of the recruitment of assistants has been sent out. You can take a good vacation for yourself. When your mind is cleared, when will you come back to work."

"Ah."

Yuan Rui responded, but his emotions still wandered.

He thought of Lu Zhao'an and Zhao Tang'an again, and the wrong kiss he got together with drunkenness, he confessed a little out of his wits, "Yunnan, he has a girlfriend."

Shi Yunnan remained silent, taking the role of a listener.

"The other party also graduated from a famous university. He studied art design. It seems that he is only two years younger. We have a lot in common with him, and we work side by side together..."

"She is very good-looking, she looks very good-looking, and she is a very honest and gentle girl when she speaks and does things. Her family also praises her for her filial piety..."

Yuan Rui's statement was composed of few words, but Shi Yunnan could imagine the girl's appearance from his description, just like another 'Lu Zhao'an' in the world.

But Shi Yunnan felt that what love needs is not similarity, but complementarity.

Deep down in Shi Yunnan's heart, he had doubts about the matter of 'Lu Zhao'an talked about his girlfriend', and from the very beginning, he believed that Lu Zhao'an was different from Yuan Rui.

However, Shi Yunnan was not the person involved, nor did he witness it with his own eyes, so it is not easy to jump to conclusions.

"Yuan Rui, just be yourself, you don't need to change for anyone."

Yuan Rui came back to his senses, forced a smile, "Well, I'm going to wash up a bit, I'm exhausted from the return trip today."

"Your injury, do you want me to help you?"

"No need." Yuan Ruiqiang lifted his spirits, "I'm not a three-year-old kid, so why do I need your 'father' to take care of me?"

After finishing speaking, he went back to the bathroom of the room alone.

...

Fu Ziyu was indeed skilled. After accepting the task of 'cook', he prepared three dishes and one soup as quickly as possible. The color and taste were good.

Fu Ziyu was sitting between the two of them, and he almost hugged him left and right, "How's it going? Not bad, right?"

Yuan Rui nodded, a little more lively, "It's really good, I thought you only knew how to dance and drink."

"hiss--"

Fu Ziyu smiled angrily, hooked his shoulders and carried him into his arms, "If it weren't for the fact that you are a sick patient, my 'chestnut' has already hit you on the head."

"What do you mean I can only dance and drink? Dad just didn't meet the right person, otherwise, there are too many hidden skills."

Yuan Rui opened his arm, took another bite of food, "You are the son."

When Fu Zi met this, he glanced at Shi Yunnan, "One by one, they are ungrateful."

Shi Yunnan refused, "What's none of my business?"

Fu Ziyu took a sip of the soup and told about the past——

"Back then, there was a person who worked and studied, ate slices of bread every day, and lost a lot of weight in a month. Wasn't it my father who felt distressed when I saw it, and I paid out of my own pocket to cook every day to fill your Chinese stomach? Don't think that seven or eight years have passed Then you can turn your face and deny it."

"Hey, it's too big to stay." He made a very melancholy expression, and deliberately put a piece of meat into Yuan Rui's bowl, "Come on, little son, eat more."

Good guy.

One sentence takes advantage of two people.

Yuan Rui and Shi Yunnan looked at each other and replied in unison, "Get lost."

Fu Ziyu gave a 'tsk' sound, but was not really angry.

Seeing that Yuan Rui regained some of his former vitality, he gave Shi Yunnan a tacit wink.

Shi Yunnan hooked his lips, and seemed to mention it casually, "Since you are in a hurry, Yuan Rui will rely on you to cook for the next ten days and a half months."

Yuan Rui was taken aback, and declined, "No need, I can support myself by myself at home."

"Okay." Fu Ziyu responded quickly, and he put Yuan Rui's shoulder again, "Then every afternoon at four o'clock, I will report on time, I will cook the meals, and you will wash the dishes."

"……what?"

Yuan Rui was half a beat behind, but he still felt that ordering takeaway was more convenient, at least he didn't have to wash the dishes.

"What? It's such a happy decision. You haven't healed the injury on your forehead yet, and you're so thin, don't even think about ordering takeaway."

Fu Ziyu made a quick decision.

When he was cooking in the kitchen just now, he accidentally opened the cabinet next to him. Inside, there were large and small painkillers and stomach medicines, all of which had been unpacked and taken.

Yuan Rui's stomach is definitely not very good, and he usually eats casually, otherwise how could he be so ridiculously thin?

It's fine if you didn't know it in the past, but now you know it, you can't let him pretend at home alone, otherwise you won't be ashamed of the relationship of 'friend'.

Yuan Rui soon understood the reason for the harmony among friends, and his heart suddenly felt sour and moved.

If you put it in the group of friends in the past, you would either pretend to be 'ignorant' like Xie Keyue, or take him out for fun, it would not be worth the two in front of you.

Yuan Rui let out a breath and said sincerely, "Thank you."

The answers in exchange were also very consistent, "You're welcome, my good son."

"..."

Yuan Rui's emotion was quickly dispelled by this unanimous sentence. Why did these two people just want to recognize him as their son?

...

Yuan Rui didn't sleep at all last night, and drove the car back to the Imperial Capital for a long time. It is a lie to say that he is not tired.After the dinner was over, Shi Yunnan and Fu Ziyu left, giving him enough space to rest.

Yuan Rui returned to the room, saw the suitcases packed on the floor, and simply bent down to open them.

The moment the suitcase was unlocked, the squeezed carrot pillow popped out.

"..."

Yuan Rui was stunned.

The emotions that had been suppressed with great difficulty showed signs of being overwhelmed again.

He picked up the pillow, and took out the patched jade pendant from the drawer. His heartstrings that had lasted for nearly two days finally broke at this moment.

pat.

Tears splashed on the pillow, and quickly melted into a ball of wet stains.

Without outsiders, he has no intention of pretending.

Yuan Rui lay on the bed as if struggling, the clenched pendant hurt his palms, he buried his head in the pillow as always, but this time, he couldn't catch the smell related to Lu Zhao'an anymore.

"Brother... woo..."

Yuan Rui choked with sobs, recalling bits and pieces of these years in a trance.

When carving a work together, he is faster than Lu Zhaoan, who will patiently stop and wait for his progress.

When arguing with Yuan Puguang, he would always leave home in a fit of anger, and the other party would always find him and take him home without fail.

One pile, one piece.

Yuan Rui realized belatedly that the person he thought he would not be able to catch up with had stopped for him countless times, but he understood too late, too late to realize——

Those who wait patiently for him to grow up will eventually leave him.

After the other party left, it became his goal of struggle for the past six months; after the reunion and separation, he also took away all his beliefs and emotions.

……

Yuan Rui fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, the mobile phone placed by the bed had already been turned off and had no battery.

He handed over the business of the studio to his friends with complete confidence, and now he has no desire to contact the outside world, so only Fu Ziyu kept the promise and reported with various ingredients every afternoon.

Yuan Rui is sincerely grateful to Fu Ziyu, and Fu Ziyu has become the only person he communicates with the outside world every day.

A week passed in a flash.

After showering, Yuan Rui put on a thin sweater and stood in front of the mirror to look at it. The seam on his forehead still left a shallow scar. Fortunately, he had bangs during this period, and after putting them down, he could barely cover the scar.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Fu Ziyu, who was busy cooking live fish in the kitchen, opened his mouth and shouted, "Who is it? Yuan Rui, go and open the door!"

"coming."

Yuan Rui hurried out, the thin sweater that he used to wear well is now a bit loose, "Who will order this? Did you order takeaway?"

Yuan Rui asked casually, and opened the door with a smile.

The moment the four eyes met, Yuan Rui only felt that the blood from head to toe was coagulated, and it seemed that there was a heavy burden on his feet, making it difficult to move forward or backward.

Lu Zhao'an looked at Yuan Rui in front of him without blinking, and caught the panic in his eyes, and his mind froze for no reason.

Before the two could speak, Fu Ziyu, who had washed his hands clean, came out of the kitchen to check the situation, "Who's here?"

When Lu Zhaoan heard this strange voice, he immediately shifted his attention to it.

He watched the tall and slender Fu Ziyu walk up to Yuan Rui, his usually calm eyes flickered a little, "Xiao Rui, don't you want to introduce me?"

If he remembered correctly, he had seen this person at the police station back then, and he seemed to be Shi Yunnan's friend.

"..."

Yuan Rui was a little inexplicably nervous, and that unseemly kiss appeared in his mind again, which made him dare not even look directly at Lu Zhao'an in front of him.

Fu Ziyu saw the delicate atmosphere between the two of them, and was not in a hurry to speak.

After waiting for about two or three seconds, Yuan Rui, who was at the core, spoke, "This is Lu Zhao'an, me, my senior brother."

The first sentence was addressed to Fu Ziyu.

Then, he suddenly tugged on Fu Ziyu's wrist, and said out of nowhere, "Brother, this is my boyfriend, Fu Ziyu."

"..."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Lu Zhao'an and Fu Ziyu changed.

"What did you say?"

Lu Zhao'an's eyes suddenly darkened, and for the first time he did not hide his hostility towards Zi Yu.

Fu Ziyu, who was temporarily 'receiving the show', was half a second late. He who had seen through everything casually looked at Shang Lu Zhaoan, "Oh, senior brother, I have long admired your name."

Come on.

This look is familiar to him.

Back then when Shi Yunnan took him fooling around in a nightclub and was caught by Luo Lingsheng, the latter also warned him with this look of 'looking at a rival in love'.

Lu Zhao'an caught a glimpse of Yuan Rui's dodging appearance, and managed to suppress the dryness in his heart.

He might not understand Fu Ziyu, but he did understand the big Yuan Rui when he was young.

The appearance of the other party is obviously a temporary 'pretend' in front of him.

"Mr. Fu, I have something to discuss with my junior brother. If there is nothing else, please leave first, is that okay?"

Listening to the polite and gentle tone, it is actually an unquestionable expulsion order.

Fu Ziyu found it even more interesting.

It seems that he is also a master who has a strong desire to control secretly.

Even before entering this house, Yuan Rui has already been directly included in his own protection range?

Fu Ziyu purely regarded Yuan Rui as his 'son', and if he really said it was a relationship of friends, he didn't have the slightest idea that he shouldn't think or act.

He could see that there was a drama between Lu Zhao'an and Yuan Rui, so he naturally didn't want to get involved in this kind of emotional entanglement.But since Yuan Rui was able to utter such nonsense, there was obviously a reason.

Although Fu Ziyu still couldn't see through the play, it was okay to give Lu Zhaoan a little stimulation before leaving.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly wrapped his arms around Yuan Rui's waist, bit his ear and laughed in a low voice, "Son, please pray for your own happiness, Dad is leaving first."

"..."

Yuan Rui's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and his ears turned red from the moment Lu Zhao'an appeared, so there was no time to pick up his jokes.

Fu Ziyu was taller than Shi Yunnan, and now Yuan Rui, who was only [-] in height, was half-circled in his arms, so he naturally had a little bit of a cuddly attitude.

As everyone knows, this scene in Lu Zhaoan's eyes aroused unreasonable jealousy.

"Since the elder brother has spoken, I can rest assured that Xiao Rui will be handed over to you." Fu Zi accepted it when he met, and reminded him before leaving, "By the way, he has a bad stomach, please take care of Mr. Lu tonight."

"You don't need to remind me, I will take care of my own junior." Lu Zhao'an replied simply, "Mr. Fu, it's better to leave."

Yuan Rui didn't expect that Fu Ziyu, who had always been loyal, would actually put down his burden and leave. He subconsciously planned to flee this place, but was blocked back by Lu Zhao'an who was standing at the door.

"Can I go in?"

Yuan Rui saw the suitcase next to Lu Zhaoan, but still couldn't figure out why the other party suddenly appeared here.

However, when the two separated in Dehua County, apart from the slight kiss that never ended, there was really no conflict that could not be resolved. Everything that happened now was caused by Yuan Rui's own guilt.

Yuan Rui was silent for two seconds, and stepped aside, "... yes."

Lu Zhao'an got his response, and without a word, he entered the house with his luggage, took the door behind him, and locked it.

Yuan Rui was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, so he had nothing to say, "Brother, you, why did you come back? Do you still know that I live here?"

"I went back to the studio and applied for your assistant position. Your address was sent to me by Mr. Shi."

"what?"

Yuan Rui obviously didn't expect that Shi Yunnan's recruitment of assistants for him would actually recruit Lu Zhao'an.

"What about you? I told you to wait for me at Zhao's house. Why did you leave a note and leave? I didn't answer any of your calls? "

"..."

Yuan Rui couldn't answer.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Zhaoan said that he was not angry or annoyed, but it was a lie.

At the beginning, Lu Zhaoan learned the news of Yuan Rui's departure as soon as he rushed home, and the phone was turned off again, so he packed his luggage overnight in a hurry.

It's a pity that there was another problem with Party A's order the next day, which temporarily hindered his pace.Finally, it was resolved, but the coastal area encountered a typhoon and the flight was suspended.

Lu Zhao'an really didn't want to procrastinate any longer, so he drove alone for a day and a night and rushed back to Dijing.

After he went to the studio to confirm that Yuan Rui was not there, he came here according to Shi Yunnan's address without stopping.

It turned out good.

He just found the person he wanted to see, Yuan Rui pulled others to lie and act.

Yuan Rui took half a step back, trying to change the subject, "...you sit down first, I'll get you some water."

"No, I have something serious to tell you."

Lu Zhao'an grabbed Yuan Rui's wrist, walked directly into the living room, and then placed him on a high stool with a hug, approached him and imprisoned him, "Yuan Rui."

Yuan Rui was dizzy by the sudden intimacy, and completely lost his mind, "Huh?"

"Zhao Tang'an and I are not what you think. She is not my girlfriend."

Lu Zhao'an straight to the point cleared up the misunderstanding and said, "Although it is impolite to tell this behind her back, she actually already has a girlfriend."

"Until we got back together, she and I were just ex-partners."

The amount of information made Yuan Rui a little confused, but he still hit the key word by mistake, "Ex-partner?"

"Yes, ex-partner."

Lu Zhao'an didn't want to burden Yuan Rui at first, but until today, he realized that it's better to explain things clearly.

"I originally wanted to develop again in Fushi, and I thought you didn't want to see me go back to the Imperial Capital, but it's different now—"

"I want to go back to Dijing to work with you, so I found a new successor for the business in Fushi, and I was busy with this for two days when I failed to pick you up and leave the hospital."

The two were too close together.

Yuan Rui could still smell the familiar scent coming from Lu Zhaoan's body, under the impact of the other party's series of words, he stuttered a little incoherently.

"You mean, you, you want to go back to the Imperial Capital? Go back to our studio? Why?"

Lu Zhaoan asked back, "Why do you say?"

"..."

Yuan Rui looked at Lu Zhao'an, who was close at hand, and always felt that the other party's eyes revealed a deep affection that he had never seen before, and this weight should not be something he could have.

Yuan Rui rolled his Adam's apple, dodging unexpectedly, "Then you shouldn't be my assistant, I can return the position to you, the studio should belong to you and Yunan."

"Yuan Rui, I didn't go back to Dijing for the studio." Lu Zhaoan saw through his ostrich mentality, and said straightforwardly, "It's for you."

Simple four words, the meaning is clear enough.

Yuan Rui's cheeks flushed directly to his neck, he was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.

Lu Zhao'an continued, "Let me ask you instead, that night..."

Yuan Rui interrupted urgently, "Senior brother, stop talking! Can you put these things aside for now? I, I haven't adapted to it yet, and I can't figure it out..."

It all happened so suddenly.

His mood went up and down like a roller coaster, and he was really not ready for everything.

Lu Zhaoan saw that he was flustered visible to the naked eye, so he had no choice but to give up for the time being, not thinking about forcing him hard.

In the future, there will be more opportunities to get along, as long as Yuan Rui can be sure of his heart, then he will definitely not let go.

"Okay, then let me ask you one last thing, is Fu Ziyu really your boyfriend?"

Yuan Rui coughed twice, suddenly felt that he was shooting himself in the foot, and he said in a short and muffled tone, "No."

Lu Zhao'an gave a short laugh, and found that to deal with Yuan Rui's awkward temperament, the straight ball was much more useful than the restrained and reserved ones before.

Of course, he only dared to be presumptuous after guessing Yuan Rui's intentions.

"I just came back, and the master and mother don't know yet. I have no place to live tonight. Can I stay here with you?"

Yuan Rui was extremely hot, "I only have one bed here."

Lu Zhao'an retreated, "It's okay, I can sleep on the sofa."

Yuan Rui struggled for a while, but he couldn't bear to push him away, so he forced himself to say, "It's up to you."

"Yeah." Lu Zhao'an retreated slightly, giving Yuan Rui a little more room on the chair, "It's almost dinner time, you sit and rest, I'll prepare dinner for you."

"No need, we can go out to eat." Yuan Rui retorted without thinking, and added with a blushing face, "You have finally returned to the Imperial Capital, and I will treat you to welcome."

"No need, it's more comfortable at home than outside." Lu Zhaoan objected, and clarified his current responsibilities, "I forgot to tell you, I joined the job as your work assistant and life assistant at the same time."

"So, in the future, not only will I be able to help you with things at work, but I will also not let you take care of your daily meals and daily life."

Yuan Rui was puzzled, "Who said I need a life assistant?"

Lu Zhao'an replied, "It was agreed by the personnel team and Shi Yunnan. If you have any objections, you can ask them. I have to perform my duties before the new personnel department notice is issued."

After finishing speaking, he temporarily let go of Yuan Rui, who was like a 'steamed crab', searched for the location of the kitchen, and simply entered.

Yuan Rui sat there in a daze for a while, then slipped back to his room as if fleeing.

He frantically found the charging equipment and re-powered on the mobile phone that had been off for a whole week. The moment he turned it on, a large number of missed calls and unread messages flooded in.

All from a brand new phone number.

"Did you really make so many calls?" Yuan Rui was a little unbelievable, and honestly quickly saved the new number in his hand.

After doing all this, he sat on the bed again in a daze, recalling everything that just happened in his mind——

Senior brother didn't fall in love with Zhao Tang'an?

Brother has returned to live in the Imperial Capital?Also said it was for him?

Yuan Rui's head was as dizzy as if he had been drinking, and he always had the unreal feeling of being in a dream. He heard a slight movement from the kitchen, but he still couldn't hold back and walked over lightly.

He didn't dare to go directly into the kitchen, but quietly poked his eyes around the corner wall.

Lu Zhao'an was busy in the kitchen.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Yuan Rui tilted his head, still feeling uneasy in a dream, he looked at the white wall in front of him, and suddenly bumped up stupidly.

——Boom.

This time I didn't control the strength well, and the impact was solid.

Yuan Rui covered his head and subconsciously shouted, "Oh hiss! It hurts..."

Lu Zhao in the kitchen paused for a while, not sure about calling out, "Xiao Rui?"

Yuan Rui felt guilty and slipped back into the bedroom without saying a word.

He threw himself on the bed childishly, rolling back and forth with the quilt rolled up, and after venting his emotions silently for a while, he couldn't help but smirked twice with joy.

It's not a dream, senior brother really came back, and it's for him.
