The rich man and the poor man
Chapter 14 Almonds
Not seen for four years.
It's only been more than 1000 days, but it seems like a lifetime away.
Yi Changqing is actually only one year younger than Pei Zhen, not very young.
But the cruel years seemed to have easily bypassed him, making Pei Zhen feel that it was really unfair—the once high-spirited, had been beaten into a lifeless tiredness and dullness by the years.It is difficult for people who have met him a few times to recognize him even if they pass by now.
But Yi Changqing is still so young.
I heard people say that if you live a carefree life, you will not grow old easily.
That's right... After leaving him, her career went smoothly and she had a lovely girlfriend again, so she no longer had to force her to stay by the side of a man she would never like.
The future is bright, how could he be in a bad mood.
……
"Zhenzhen, don't force yourself if you can't eat it."
Back to reality, the candlelight was dancing, and the obsidian-like eyes of the little wolf dog beside him were looking at him worriedly.
Pei Zhen put down his fork.
Yi Changqing has already left with Elisa, out of sight and out of mind.
It’s still the beautiful twinkling night view, or the quiet private table, and the most delicious and classic dishes of this restaurant are ordered.
Champagne is delicious.The steak is tender and juicy, and the scallops are perfectly fried and golden.
His stomach has long been empty, and he even has a dull pain. He obviously needs nourishment from food, but why... he just has no appetite anyway.
"As a result, now... it is impossible not to participate in the competition."
wry smile.Having escaped Liszt's provocation, who would have thought that Yi Changqing could not be escaped in the end.
I regret that when we met face to face just now, why did we have to hold on for a little face.
It's better to be honest, Han Fu is just an apprentice who has just started, and he is not ready to participate in that level of competition, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.
And because of this, it will not be tantamount to bowing to Yi Changqing and admitting defeat.
"Zhenzhen, it's okay, don't worry."
Han Fu jolted over with the chair from the opposite side, pulled him into his arms, and patted his back gently.
Pei Zhen rested his forehead on his shoulder, and the brand-new suit fabric was stained with a sweet girly citrus fragrance.
That is the girly fragrance that his foundry will put on the shelves in the new summer.
As an adult man, Han Fu insisted on using his incense in different ways to cheer him up, and he didn't mind exuding a sweet smell every day.
In fact, when running Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen seldom made this kind of sweet and greasy girly fragrance.
His own taste is closer to glamorous, high-end, mature and heavy. At that time, most of his customers were mature professional women and business men over 30 years old.
But now the customers of small foundries are all high school and college girls. If they are not lively, bright, sweet and cute, most of them will not accept it.Therefore, recent works have also become silly and sweet.
The sweet and lovely fragrance evaporates in the air under the man's body temperature, and the place where the skin touches is slowly warming, flowing into the dry heart continuously.
Pei Zhen felt that the current self was like a tablet whining with low battery, and he just wanted to hold on to his small charger comfortably.
The little charger also did his duty, and charged him with comfort: "Really, don't think too much. Just participate in the competition, and I will hurry up and prepare desperately."
"..."
"Didn't you say before that there is a sentence in the quotations of great men called 'Anyone who is not ready, no matter when and where you don't force it'? But there is actually another half of this sentence."
"If the conditions are not ripe, we should - 'actively create the conditions'. So Zhenzhen, let's work together to 'create the conditions', shall we?"
Pei Zhen was speechless for a moment.
The light music continued to flow quietly, and the young man's slightly green face looked extremely gentle in the dancing candlelight. Behind him was the bright night sky, but it was not as shining as the stars in his eyes.
very nice.
The eye sockets are a little hot.
After holding back but not being able to hold back, she just turned her head and hugged Han Fu's waist slowly.
……
……
He couldn't eat much, so Han Fu re-ordered porridge for Pei Zhen, and he practiced the principle of "avoiding waste", and wiped out the delicious food for two people.
I didn't expect the dog to let go of it to eat, and the appetite was so bottomless.
Pei Zhen silently wondered whether the usual dog food given to ordinary people at home was too little.
After the porridge was served, the waiter brought out a super delicate red velvet cake with candles.
Pei Zhen: "We didn't order this."
Han Fu: "Zhenzhen, isn't your birthday coming soon? This restaurant will give you a small cake as long as you order during the birthday month."
Pei Zhen was stunned.Han Fu really knew more about the things here than he did.
"Wait, Zhenzhen, make a wish before blowing out the candles! Hurry up, think about a wish seriously, although it's not your real birthday yet, let's do it today first, and I'll make it for you on your real birthday!"
"..." Pei Zhen stared at the small red velvet cake with whipped cream, with mixed flavors.
I thought that this day would probably be a heart-rending day.
This is not his self-serving pessimism.
Most of the classmates and friends who grew up with him are not too different in age from him, and many of them have no time to celebrate their 30th birthday.The life of an adult is always busy and trivial, married, busy with offspring and livelihood, the cake gift ceremony is all forgotten by the other half, it is considered lucky not to quarrel, let alone love and romance.
For those who have no family, it is another bleak situation.Cook a bowl of instant noodles, take a photo and post it on Moments, even if you have celebrated yourself.Of course, there are also those who invite friends and hold parties to celebrate grandly, but they always end up crying like dogs after drinking too much.
At this fucking age, everyone has been ruthlessly polished by life, with more or less injuries, burdened with the burden of life, and has long since given up on their dreams.
In comparison, Pei Zhen felt that he was really lucky——
At least he has not given up on his dream, nor does he plan to give up.
Probably in this life, I have to fight to the end with my favorite perfume.
There is also a heart-warming little wolf dog by his side, accompanying him tenderly, helping him cut the cake with his slender fingers.
...Since having him around, I really don't feel lonely at all.
Suddenly I really want to ask Han Fu, the annual maintenance fee is less than 30 yuan, can you just pay 3000 million yuan and directly contract you for the rest of your life?
Just stay by my side and never leave, okay?
Of course, this kind of idea can only be thought about.
The mood suddenly darkened.A funder who would ask such a question is too ignorant of himself.
Shaking my head, it doesn't matter, I'm not afraid.
Anyway, he will always have money, and even if the little wolf dog runs away, he can raise a new one.Every year, better-looking children will grow up, like leeks, one crop after another.
……
On the way home, the taxi drove slowly in the neon night, and Pei Zhen nestled sleepily and gloomily in the arms of the little wolf dog.
"Have you...been to that restaurant before?"
Han Fu said "Yes", "I went with my dad."
Pei Zhen was taken aback.
Han Fu: "Dad! Well, even though that person is, I don't really want to mention him."
The brain-filled story quietly began to change.
Being able to bring him to this kind of restaurant shows that Han Fu's father is probably not the type who is idle, eats food and loves to gamble.
Could it be that after going to work in the city, he made a fortune and then abandoned his wife?
Years later, Han Fu grew up and defected thousands of miles away. That man brought his son to such a high-end restaurant to show off, but later, maybe because of a vicious stepmother fighting for family property, Han Fu finally left home?
Therefore, when we met for the first time, he would work hard in the factory.Wearing thick, old, gray work clothes, silly and dirty?
And because of working hard and not enough money to spend, why do you work as a duck part-time?
"..." Then it occurred to me that such a young man who worked as a duck had almost succeeded in impersonating Lan Rui's Mr. Han.If it wasn't for the presence of Belle's second lady, Yi Changqing would have been fooled into believing her!
This world is really amazing.
……
Now that this topic has been mentioned... Han Fu whispered, hugging the person in his arms tightly.
"Zhenzhen, what if, what if~ If I'm really the young master of a big company like Lan Rui, in fact... super super rich?"
In the dark and slow car, I feel like a bird with long legs stretched on the beach in a certain picture, tempting on the verge of death.
As expected, Pei Zhen didn't like this kind of temptation very much, and his voice turned cold instantly.
"If you are rich, you don't need me to support you? There is no point in staying with me. You can get out of the car and leave now."
Han Fu still didn't give up, he continued to ask in a very gentle and gentle voice.
"Zhenzhen, think about it, if I'm really rich, you don't have to pay me a salary, and I can still buy you a lot of presents every day. If I were Lan Rui's young master, I could help you with just one sentence Build the best perfume production line in the country and set up the most high-end brand. I don’t believe in the fact that I don’t need to participate in any international competitions, and I don’t need to use Library, Yi Changqing, or a museum of collections. I don’t believe it… "
"enough."
Pei Zhen interrupted him: "Do you think I will accept other people's charity?"
Han Fu: "How can it be called alms? It must be built for you because you like it! Spending money for someone you like is not called alms!"
Spending money on someone you like... really can't be called charity.Heh, Pei Zhen sneered, the gloomyness was comparable to a horror movie.
Han Fu: "Zhenzhen! You laughed like a villain just now."
"..."
The atmosphere didn't get any easier.The small skylight on the roof of the car revealed the starry sky, and the cool wind was blowing down, Pei Zhen just stared at the small piece of flickering darkness, his eyes were hollow and stiff.
"In this world," he said slowly, "I can only support others, not others. Only others can depend on me, spend my money, and listen to my words."
That's all there is to say.
According to Han Xiaohua's ability to observe words and emotions on weekdays, she should know it's time to shut up.
However, today's little wolf dog didn't know what was wrong, so he just hugged him tighter: "Zhenzhen, have you been pushing yourself too hard? Occasionally when you feel tired, it's not good to rely on someone you like ?"
The deep-buried reverse scale has been touched continuously since just now.
"Like? Rely on? Heh..." Pei Zhen laughed lowly, full of malice.
"Han Fu, you are also 23 years old, don't you feel naive to say such things? How can there be any 'like' in this world, and how can there be any 'feelings'! Don't you think, on the contrary, we are like you and me." Is it much more stable to take the desired relationship?!"
"..."
"Isn't it? If you take away the money you lack, I can also settle down and focus on my career and make money. If you want me to say, a relationship like this is the real long-term! Things are much more solid and reliable!"
Silence as death.
After a long while, Han Fu came back to his senses, very anxious, very anxious: "Zhenzhen, how can you think like this? Of course there is a real 'like'..."
Pei Zhen closed his eyes and ignored him.
"It is true, you have to believe me."
Pei Zhen remained silent.
The neon lights outside the car were still there, and the car was a bit cruelly quiet.
After a moment of silence, the little wolf dog suddenly buried its head in the hollow of his shoulder, rubbing its soft hair against his neck.
"Zhenzhen, I'm really very, very poor. I'm so poor that I can't get rid of it. Don't be angry and don't support me, or I won't be able to survive."
……
Pei Zhen didn't say anything until he got home.
"Let me wash your hair for you, Zhenzhen..."
"Bang", the bathroom door was closed in front of my eyes.Han Fu's world was shattered, and he went back and bumped against the mattress sadly, regretting why he had to think of a fancy way of life, when the phone rang suddenly.
"You have received a red envelope from your dearest and favorite Zhenzhen."
"..."
There is no way to bow your head, and you will never apologize.someone featured.
But when you realize that your attitude is too much, you will also reflect on it, usually... in the simplest and most rude form.
The author has something to say: Han Fu: Wang Wang Wang. QAQ wife is fierce, hard to chase!
Pei Zhen: Doubt and self-doubt of an old dog.
It's only been more than 1000 days, but it seems like a lifetime away.
Yi Changqing is actually only one year younger than Pei Zhen, not very young.
But the cruel years seemed to have easily bypassed him, making Pei Zhen feel that it was really unfair—the once high-spirited, had been beaten into a lifeless tiredness and dullness by the years.It is difficult for people who have met him a few times to recognize him even if they pass by now.
