The rich man and the poor man

Pei Zhen was a little surprised.

Primary school classmate, we have known each other for more than [-] years, and he knows Mai Zixi very well.

This person, although he is actually gentle, kind and easy to get along with, but when meeting him for the first time, the public's general impression of him is "more serious" and "don't get close to strangers".

Of course...it also had something to do with this person being more principled.

As a not-so-successful painter, once a wealthy owner wanted to buy paintings at a high price to decorate the hotel porch, just because the owner already had a wife and brought a flirtatious X with him, even though Mai Zixi was actually short of money Under such circumstances, he refused to buy the painting to him.

In the same way, because of his raising ducklings, I had a cold war with him for almost two months.

Ordinarily, being willing to appear today is enough to save face.It should be cold throughout the whole process, and it would never take the initiative to say hello to his ducklings.

So what did he see?

Mai Zixi took the initiative to walk over to Han Fu, and stretched out his hand: "Hello."

After shaking hands, after a few pleasantries, they even asked Han Xiaohua to ask for WeChat at the first sight!

What's the situation, it's going to rain red?

Or is it that his little wolf dog is really good-looking and handsome, with cute eyes, which can make people get rid of prejudice and fall into the trap in a second?

Just like the fat orange in his family——Pei Zhen didn't like cats at all, but on that light rainy day, when the drowned kitten meowed at him with a pair of pitiful big eyes, he directly Fell into the cat feeding pit in a second?

But how can humans compare with cats?

……

Whether it was talking or exchanging WeChat messages, in fact Han Fu was just responding mechanically, without knowing what he was doing the whole time.

The whole person's mind was bewildered and buzzing.

Fortunately, Pei Zhen always thought that he was overly nervous when meeting a stranger for the first time, so he didn't suspect much, and just urged him to go to class quickly.

So Han Fu went out obediently with his hands and feet, and walked down the escalator in a daze. When he stepped on the escalator of the hospital, he received a WeChat message from his new friend "The Scarecrow in the Rye".

Bite the bullet and click open, just two words.

"Nursing?"

Han Fu: "..."

Ashamed, he was hesitating how to reply, and then came the second WeChat, asking a very practical question——

"Raise you? Can he afford it?"

Han Fu: "..."

Sure enough, he was completely recognized just now!He knows it!At the moment when the door was opened just now, Mai Zixi's complicated eyes said everything!

Careless, I thought it was not easy to recognize and very safe.As a result, the vest fell so suddenly that there were no underwear left in an instant.

"Please, please don't tell him (begging) (begging)." There was a long row of extremely sincere star-eyed emojis.

Mai Zixi replied: "The reason?"

"...He said that only he can support others, not others."

After a while: "It's really like what Pei Zhen can say."

……

In the ward, Lei Yao was answering the phone.

Opposite should be an ambiguous female star, and the baby is long and short.

Pei Zhen silently peeled the oranges beside the bed for a while, but couldn't help it, and called out to someone absent-minded.

I haven't seen you for two months, and I lower my head to play with my phone as soon as I sit down!Who is so important?

"Oh," Mai Zixi smiled, "There is a client who wants to buy my paintings. Don't worry, it's only a few minutes, we'll finish the negotiation soon."

Pei Zhen immediately felt relieved, as an unsuccessful painter who relied on running teahouses to support his painting hobby, it was not easy to sell his paintings.

Of course, the customer is important, you talk about it!

……

Han Fu walked out of the hospital, hailed a car, and leaned on the back seat to relax his tense body.

Since he didn't expose him in front of Pei Zhen, that person...should consider showing mercy to some extent.

Close your eyes.

The faint leather scent of the seat cushion in the car reminded him of a rainy night a few years ago.

In the boundless darkness of wind and rain, he walked alone on the wet street with no one and no light, lost his mind, and let the cold raindrops hit his body.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, there was a rapid whistle sound behind him, and the water on the road was dazzlingly reflected by the headlights.

【Boy! ] The person in the car called him, 【Get in the car, I'll take you back! 】

He shook his head, and the car followed him all the way.Finally got into the car, the scarecrow-like man with yellow hair and pale skin frowned and threw him a dry towel to wipe his hair.

He was terribly cold and under extreme oxygen deprivation.I just remember that the towel was really big, it covered him completely and buried him in it, it was so soft and soft.

But being wrapped in such tenderness made people even more sad, and the excess water in the body kept spilling out.

[Okay, stop crying,] After a while, the man freed up a hand and touched his head through the towel, [I know that your feelings are serious now, but you are still young after all. 】

[How about this, after a few years when you grow up, if you still like him... come back and look for him, okay? 】

"..." After a few years, come back to him again?

For the young man who has just been ruthlessly rejected and feels that his existence is meaningless, these words are undoubtedly a small glimmer of hope in the boundless night.

Yeah, makes sense.

It doesn't work now, and it doesn't mean that it won't work in the future or in this life.

In a few years, you can come to him again.When I grow up, grow taller, and become handsome, I won't be seen as an ignorant kid anymore...

……

Up to now, five years have passed.

I am very grateful to the summer when I was 20 years old. When my father was harvesting desert roses in a magical place called the Republic of Somaliland, he got a magical herbal recipe from the local witch doctor.

I gave him a drink for a summer vacation, and as a result, he grew twenty centimeters taller.

Han Fu is now thinking about whether to sell this prescription to Liszt at a high price one day, which can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

Just as he was thinking wildly, his phone vibrated suddenly, and another message came.

Mai Zixi: "Let's do it with you and him, I won't say anything for now."

"But, I am watching you."

There is also a whole row of knife emojis at the back, which seems to be a serious threat without a doubt.

Han Fu was instantly overjoyed.

Because of such a sentence, Mai Zixi became Pei Zhen's parent in his heart, a serious and serious old father image.

Then this level of threat is basically equivalent to saying "Our family reluctantly accepts you, and my son will be handed over to you. If you dare to treat him badly, you will be killed."

Replied immediately on the spot, "Please rest assured, I will treat him well!"

I wish I could just call "Uncle" and then obediently offer tea!

……

……

Pei Zhen was discharged from the hospital the next day, and lived under the careful care of the little wolf dog every day.

Being well cared for is not as beautiful as the legend.All kinds of polenta, mixed with corn salad, boiled corn on the cob... Han Fu forced him to eat it every day.

If you don't want to chew, you peel it off on a plate and feed it hard with a spoon.

It's so sticky and unpalatable, I want to die.

Han Fu: "Be good, be obedient, eat one more bite! Finish!"

……

The selection of recommended qualifications for the PA competition is just around the corner, and since he still has to spare time every day to grow fat, Han Fu will of course devote himself to his studies at 120% level in school.

"why!"

"Why is the library locked at six o'clock? It's not humane at all!"

Standing in front of the library with the sign "Closed", the young man who loves learning looks crazy.

The courses I heard in the fifth class this morning were so difficult, some of the knowledge I didn’t understand at all, and some of them felt a bit contradictory, and I wanted to say that after class, I came here to get essential oils to verify it for sure!

Yu Wenzhe: "Probably, it's because the librarian also has his own life and wants to get home from get off work on time, right?"

ashamed.This... is exactly what I said.

Then there was a rattling sound, Yu Wenzhe smiled mysteriously, and took out the library's three-piece set of keys from his pocket.

Han Fu: "Uh uh uh?!"

"Actually, I've been doing a special part-time job in the college recently. After the library is closed at six o'clock every day, I have to come in for follow-up sorting and classification. There is just a vacancy. Han Fu, do you want to come together?"

"The part-time job pays a lot, and you can also accumulate experience while working. Because you have to sort bottles with defaced labels, and you have high requirements for fragrance knowledge, not everyone can do it, but you will definitely be able to do it right away."

"Sometimes the professor will come over, so that if you have any questions, you can ask them face to face. It is really a part-time job with many benefits!"

Han Fu was actually very moved when he heard it.

however……

"No, I have to go back to accompany Zhenzhen."

Now that breakfast is cooked every day, Pei Zhen has to rush out to school before he wakes up, so he can only spend time with him when he returns home at night and before going to bed.

Career is important, competition is important.

But the wife is obviously more important!

Yu Wenzhe sighed: "Envy, you two have such a good relationship."

Han Fu immediately nodded wildly: Well, our relationship is super good.

excellent!

Really super super good...

really good? !

……

It was only early in the morning the next day that Han Fu completely doubted how much he was favored.

The next day was Sunday, and the first month's salary since the adoption finally arrived.

Bank SMS reminder, you have received four digits.

Well, four digits.

Han Fu looked carefully twice, and it was indeed four digits.The starting number is still extremely low, and with this level of salary, I am afraid that it is not as good as going to the supermarket to stand at the counter for a month.

"Zhenzhen~" the voice of resentment.

The daytime on Sunday was a day for Pei Zhen to relax and enjoy after a busy week.

At the moment, she was lying in the garden with a blindfold, lazily, with a dark smile hidden in the corner of her mouth.

"Why?!"

Didn't you say yes, the maintenance fee is nearly [-] per month?

"Because," Pei Zhen half pulled down the blindfold and said quietly, "I made an appointment, and I will deduct 50 each time. You have called 'Zhen Zhen' 484 times this month, so a total of 24200 salary has been deducted. Just now, I was too tired. Buckle up next month, that's it, I'm thirsty, give me a glass of lemonade."

Han Fu: "..."

Han Fu: "It's still...really buckled?"

Of course not really deducted.

Pei Zhen just wanted to tease him because he saw that the little wolf dog was tense and stressed all day recently.

However, the disappointment on Han Xiaohua's face at the moment is very real.

It can even be said that it is particularly lost.

I was so lost that I even lost my acting skills.

The person who usually takes care of him crazily in all directions 360°, today his ears are drooping, and he even forgot to bring him lemonade.

"..." Having been with the little wolf dog for more than a month, it was the first time that Pei Zhen woke up from a sweet dream and panicked.

I am extremely regretful, as expected, the book is right, you can't easily test human nature!

What the hell is he doing?

It's just a money relationship, are you still counting on something unrealistic?Is it because you are too spoiled by the high-level and high-quality service for a month, and you don't know your true position?

The reason why people treat you well and dote on you is not because you are the sponsor and promised a high price!

Withholding the money they deserved, endangering the substantive relationship that really works between you, and still expecting them to continue to smile brightly at you?

……

Early the next morning, Han Fu rushed to ask Yu Wenzhe, "Is the library you mentioned last time still open?"

Yu Wenzhe: "Well, there is still a vacancy, why did you come? But didn't you say you wanted to go home to accompany your boyfriend that day?"

Han Fu: "No, no, things have changed, I have to work overtime to make money! Well, Lao Yu, can I just work for a month?"

……

Recently, because of the closer and closer to the recommended qualification competition, Han Fu not only spends the whole day in school during the day, but even begins to use the night time to "work overtime" at school.

This matter sounds quite reasonable, Pei Zhen believed it at first.

Until one day, driving through the city after work overtime, I passed by an Internet celebrity steamed stuffed bun shop that Han Fu had praised before saying it was delicious, and I wanted to try it again.

That store is really popular, there are often queues, and it is hard to find a bag.

It should be sold out and closed to thank customers at this time on weekdays, but it is still open today, and the waiting line is not as long as usual.

So I got out of the car to try my luck, and I succeeded in buying it!

The hot meat buns and plum vegetables are fluffy and look very delicious.

Squinting his eyes, the car turned around at the next intersection and drove straight to the direction of Glass College in the suburbs.

……

Of course I know, I seem to be a bit of an idiot.

If you want the little wolf dog to be grateful, just make up for the maintenance fee owed to him as soon as possible!

What kind of buns to buy, who cares about such small favors that only cost a few tens of dollars?

Don't you still imagine that when he sees Baozi, he will rush over with a cry, his eyes are shining like before, and all kinds of "Zhen Zhen" and "Zhen Zhen" are pestering him non-stop?

Not really a dog.

How could it be impossible to see meat buns? !

……

Glass Academy, the door is locked.

The street lights were half off, and the teaching building was pitch black.

"..." Pei Zhen's car stopped at the school gate alone, in a daze.

The heart beats in a trance and irregularly, and the legs are even a little leaden.

What's the situation...the lights are turned off, what about the make-up class that was agreed?

He lied to him.

Han Fu lied to him? !

He even foolishly bought his favorite steamed stuffed bun, and drove for an hour to give it to him while it was still hot.

Haha, hahaha...

Who the hell would pay you back a few thousand dollars a month to grind incense, and still want to serve your coffin-faced face!

Of course, I'm going to go out to let the wind go, maybe I'm already looking for a new home!

He also carefully wrapped the buns with his coat, and wanted to feed the little wolf dog something hot, but he had never seen such a stupid gold master.What Mai Zixi said is correct, the ducklings are indeed lying, and he still...

Leaning on the steering wheel, he felt extremely fatigued in an instant.

After lying down for a while, I opened the door and got out of the car, and stood in the cool night wind to take a breath—that's enough, cheer up.

If you have a heart attack and pass out in this ghostly place where birds don't lay eggs and no people live in it, no one will save you, and you don't want to say on the tombstone that you were pissed to death by ducks, right?

When he came back to his senses again, people were climbing over the wall.

"..." Yes, about the ability of a 30-year-old man with a disability certificate to climb walls occasionally.

He almost fell off, and the root of his thigh was stabbed by the iron fence, but Pei Zhen didn't care about it.

If you don't see the coffin, don't cry, maybe you are such a person.

It's definitely not because he cares about the little wolf dog.

There is no such thing, and it is impossible to have such a thing in this life.

From the very beginning, it was positioned as a duck, a hospice care, and a cutie bought with money equivalent. No matter how heart-warming and sweet, no matter how good the business level is, it is impossible to be tempted, let alone addicted!

That being the case, people still climbed over the wall in the deep twilight night?

awkward.

I'm already 30 years old, why is it still so hard to explain.

……

Looking around in the entire college, only the windows of the library on the first floor seemed to be dimly lit.

Walking along the brightness, the window was not closed tightly, and faint laughter came from inside.

Pei Zhen stood against the stone wall by the window.

The reflection of the edge of the glass hit his gloomy face.

He breathed a sigh of relief...he saw Han Fu.

Fortunately, I didn't run out to play, and I probably didn't go to find other benefactors.Just carefully organizing the essential oil bottles in the library.

Just as the tightness at the corners of his lips eased, he saw another person.

Yu Wenzhe, that super cute guy with bun face.

There were only the two of them in the huge library, talking and laughing alone.

……

"My God, isn't it?" Yu Wenzhe looked helpless, "Why am I younger than you, I will be 28 next month, okay?"

Han Fu: "28?? Really? You can't see it at all. Did you lie to me? I always thought you were twenty at most!"

28. Isn't that only two years younger than Zhenzhen?

But Yu Wenzhe's whole bun face is soft, looking extremely immature, it feels much younger and softer than his 23's!

"I also think that I can be in my early twenties," Yu Wenzhe sighed, "but how is it possible? I have been in Grasse for more than two years and almost three years. I graduated from university at the age of 22 and earned three years of money in product design. , and then use all your savings to learn incense, do you do the math?"

"As a result, alas—"

Speaking of this, he talked about his sad things: "Just being stuck in the fifth class for almost two years, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get promoted. Half of the classmates who were with me at that time were successfully promoted to the sixth class, and a few The talented person has been hired by a famous brand and successfully became a professional perfumer, but I..."

Having said that, he smiled wryly a few times.

"Perhaps, what he said is right. I just have the passion for perfumery, but I don't have the talent for it."

Han Fu frowned: "Who said that?"

Yu Wenzhe: "Liszt."

Han Fu: "Huh?"

"A year ago, Liszt came to Grasse with Master Campbell to give a lecture. The master taught us to grind incense on the spot, and Liszt happened to come to guide me. At that time, he told me... let me not do it again, Saying that I am not this material at all, and sticking to it is just a waste of time."

Han Fu was startled: "Don't! Don't listen to Liszt!"

"Don't you think that half-breed guy has always been very unreliable? He has no real skills, but he can speak out. Whenever he sees a threat to him, he will come up to 'dissuade'. Let me tell you, he doesn't think you are at all. I have no strength, but I am afraid of being rubbed by you on the smooth floor in the future~ rubbing!"

"Pfft." Yu Wenzhe just laughed, and the gloomy eyes finally regained some brilliance.

Knowing that this is just kind comfort, but heart-warming words are still very effective when you are down.

After laughing, he suddenly said seriously: "Honestly, Han Fu, I really envy you."

"envious?"

"Well, I'm envious that you have found a direction to work hard at and are so talented at such a young age," Yu Wenzhe lowered his head, carefully tracing the label on the small bottle in his hand.

"It's not like me. I'm 28. I quit my job and put all my eggs in one basket to pursue my hobbies. I thought I had the courage, but in the end I didn't succeed at all. I can't go back to my original industry, and I'm getting older. Haha, haha Ha ha……"

"Not to mention, you're only 23 years old, and you've already found someone you really like."

"It's not like me. I haven't been in a relationship until now, and I haven't been liked or pursued by anyone. I'm completely an insulator. I feel like I've lived for nothing in this life."

This time, Han Fu did not continue to comfort him.

Because hearing Yu Wenzhe said that he envied him for finding the person he particularly liked, he was already in a state of complacency, and the rest of the people were not listening at all.

"Yeah, I also think I am super lucky. He is very good, and my family is very good!"

"I really, really like him! I wake up every morning and I feel so happy. If you haven't been in a relationship, you won't understand that feeling. If you can, you can roll around on the spot now, and put your whole body to rest. The kind of love that has all the cabinets overturned in the library!"

Yu Wenzhe: "..."

"Don't do it, we really can't afford the essential oil in it!"

……

Outside the library, under the window where Pei Zhen was still standing, the night breeze was a bit cool, and the glass was very tight.

You can only see the interaction between the two under the lights, but you can't hear what they are saying.After standing for a while, I saw a window on the other side next to the door and the corridor, and it seemed that one of them was not closed tightly.

Along the walls, moving softly across the dark grass.

Halfway, I wanted to go back to the car several times and forget it.

The two of them chatted so happily that no matter what they heard, most of them would hurt their hearts.

……

No, not right.

Why did he back down?He is the employer, and there is a contract with Han Fu!

The eight-hour working system has been moved to night, and it's already nine o'clock. The little wolf dog should accompany him during working hours, why should he accompany others? !

Even if the time is not up, he can also ask for forced overtime!

Don't want to add?When working in a company, the boss asks you to go back to work overtime after get off work, can you not go?If you don't go, you will be dismissed, and there is nothing to be reluctant about!

Anyway, you don't want to do this job, and there are so many pretty boys rushing to do it!

So many people rushing to...

grabbing...

However, it is impossible for anyone to do better than Han Fu.

Such focused eyes, subtle care and love, cherished in the palm of your hand all the time...

Alas, I have always advertised that I am "not demanding" as a funder, but in fact, the requirements are abnormally high.

I have kept him for more than a month, just holding hands and petting, and the occasional kisses are still initiated by the little wolf dog.Obviously paid the money, but never enjoyed the most basic rights of a benefactor...

Not without demand.

How could the body of a 30-year-old man not yearn for caress and tenderness.It's just that I don't want that kind of low, physical comfort.

I also want to wait to get a little more familiar and intimate, no matter whether it is true or not, at least I can do self-hypnosis to "believe" that others really like him and desire him to some extent.

It's obviously a money relationship, but I want it to look like true love.

This request...isn't it ridiculously high?

……

Stepping on the wooden floor of the corridor, the creaking sound made Pei Zhen walk more lightly.

"Old Yu, by the way, when will our salary be paid?"

Finally, under the half-closed window, Pei Zhen heard the voices of two people in the library clearly.

The silent night echoed under the huge arched dome, clear and clear.

"It will be issued on the 15th of the month. The salary here is very generous, and it will directly advance your account for one month in advance."

Hearing what Yu Wenzhe said, Han Fu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, that's great, this way we can catch up!"

"Let me tell you, my Zhenzhen is going to celebrate his birthday on the 16th."

"As early as last month, I showed him an out-of-print antique perfume at the auction house! You know Marilyn Monroe's favorite Lesétoiles "Comet Beauty"?"

Yu Wenzhe: "As for 'Comet Beauty', isn't it still on sale?" Besides, it is still a classic model that sells well every year, right?

"It's different! Sure enough, you don't know it, and many people don't know it—I just read it in a book. The formula of that perfume has actually been updated five or six times, like the high-end fragrance used by our grandma's generation." The recipe is now a forbidden item that cannot be found anywhere in the world!"

"And the old version of 'Comet Beauty' bottle is so beautiful. It is made of white porcelain and looks like Monroe's classic little white dress! Now this version is extinct, and I finally found it. I really think my family will definitely really like!"

Speaking of this, the little wolf dog sighed greatly, and the lasagna was tearful: "In the end, I paid the deposit, but I worked part-time last month but accidentally did something wrong and was deducted a lot of wages, and I lost the balance all of a sudden. "

Yu Wenzhe was very interested: "Auction house? Can you buy antique incense in the auction house?"

Han Fu: "..."

Han Fu: "No, I've been talking for a long time, and the only thing you care about is the auction house?"

"Hmm!" Yu Wenzhe actually nodded his head, "What kind of place is this auction house you're talking about? I used to think that it was the same as a pawnshop, so you can buy out-of-print antique perfumes there? Is the auction house you mentioned nearby, can you take me to see it next time?"

Han Fu: "If the salary is paid on the 15th, can I get the card on the same day?"

Yu Wenzhe: "If you can't win, I can lend you the money first. It's only more than 1 yuan. I still have some savings."

Han Fu was instantly happy, and grabbed his hands: "Old Yu, you are really my good friend!"

Yu Wenzhe: "So, when will you take me to the auction house?"

"..."

Outside the door, Pei Zhen leaned against the wall.

In a trance, the whole person slowly half-sat on the ground.

These days, it's a dark day to be alone, full of terrible thoughts.

In the end, the little wolf dog just wanted to save some money and wanted to buy him a "comet beauty" as a birthday present.

"..."

The topics of the two of them have since been all related to the auction house.

Then there are various antique perfumes, and Han Xiaohua shows off all the little knowledge and anecdotes in various perfume books he has read recently.

And Pei Zhen just leaned against the wall without making a sound, and slowly, slowly covered his face.

It's really stupid.

Thinking of people so badly is a conspiracy theory.

I'm going to cry stupidly.

The floor of the corridor is pine wood, and the water dripped on it, and it quickly dried into marks.

He bit his lip and trembled, not wanting to make a sound.In the blurred vision, on the ring finger of the left hand, where the wedding ring should be, is wearing an ordinary black jade ring.

It wasn't a gift from an important person, but it was just a bargain that he bought at a street stall after he was depressed and depressed, before he made up his mind to make a comeback.

But have been wearing it ever since.

This ring is a precept I bought for myself.

Every time I see it, I remind myself over and over again, "Don't be stupid again."

In this life, as long as you concentrate on your career and perfume is enough, you will no longer be tempted by anyone or anything, and you will no longer expect any unrealistic things.

However, I said I don't expect it.

But why did he still drag a broken leg over the wall and come in? The funniest thing was that he was still holding the still warm meat bun in his hand.

There was never a moment when I felt so clearly like a sullen and ridiculous chipmunk.

Holding a big stolen chestnut in his arms, he looked around nervously, feeling that the chestnut was really sweet, and wanted to drop it every second to run for his life.

After wiping his face, the light suddenly dimmed by half, the voice of the voice and the sound of footsteps were getting closer and closer, followed by a creak, the heavy wooden door was pulled open, and the last light in the library was cast on the ground, creating a glare of dim yellow. .

"Zhenzhen?"

I wanted to hide, but it was too late.

He is not as flexible as a chipmunk at all, and he can disappear without a trace.My legs were numb and I couldn't even stand up.

So humiliating.

I wish I could find a place to hide in.

However, the person who is more panicked than him at the moment is definitely the bun face that followed Han Fu's footsteps.

Yu Wenzhe: Who is this...

Wait, isn't this Han Fu's boyfriend?Why is he crying at the door? Could it be a misunderstanding?

Working alone in the library with your boyfriend in the middle of the night, isn't it to hook him up? !
