like the abyss

Chapter 31

Ten days later, Bai Ru'an took Lu Yuan to the hospital to have the stitches removed.

Anesthesia is not used when removing the stitches, and the stitches have to be cut and pulled out from the eye of the needle.Lu Yuan was afraid that Bai Ru'an would make him uncomfortable, so he ordered him to wait outside.

Bai Ru'an refused to leave and insisted on staying in the consulting room.The doctor's hand is light, but Lu Yuan can still bear it, but Bai Ru'an is very exaggerated. The doctor took a breath, and he took a "hissy" breath and dubbed Lu Yuan.

The doctor was annoyed by his "hissing", stopped what he was doing, and stared at him through the mask, "Can the family members go out and wait?"

Bai Ru'an had no choice but to go out in despair.Without his interference, the doctor quickly treated the wound, disinfected it with alcohol, covered it with gauze, and fixed it with adhesive tape.

After the doctor ordered the contraindications, Lu Yuan supported the wall and walked out. Bai Ru'an was pacing around the door. When he saw Lu Yuan coming out, he squatted down to look at his legs, "How is it?"

The wound was tightly wrapped in gauze, so Lu Yuan could not see the wound at all. Lu Yuan looked at him pretending to be serious, "I gave birth to a boy."

Bai Ru'an stood up, and lightly smacked Lu Yuan's chest, "Return the skin? What did the doctor say, will there be scars?"

Lu Yuan gave him the medicine list prescribed by the doctor, "We won't know until we grow up."

Bai Ru'an took the form to get the medicine, while Lu Yuan was waiting for him on the bench in the yard.They came early, it wasn't very hot at the moment, and there were mostly patients walking in the yard.Lu Yuan looked at Qin Xiaoer with his mobile phone, when a shadow suddenly fell in front of him.

Lu Yuan thought it was Bai Ru'an who came, and looked up at him, "So soon?"

The person in front of him was very excited, "Brother Lu? It's really you!"

With the light behind him, Lu Yuan squinted his eyes, only to realize that the person in front of him was Shen Zening, whom he hadn't seen for several months.

Shen Zening looked a bit embarrassed, his hair was shorter than what Lu Yuan saw before, a bluish-black layer of hard stubble stuck to his scalp, there was a wound on the right brow bone, two stitches were taken, and there was a piece of bruise on the cheekbone. Bruises that dissipate.

Lu Yuan stepped aside, and Shen Zening sat down, "Why are you here, Brother Lu?"

Lu Yuan raised his calf to show him, then pointed to his face, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zening hesitated, "It's nothing, I was fighting with someone two days ago... Are you waiting for someone?"

Lu Yuan turned around and took a look at the pharmacy, but Bai Ru'an hadn't come out yet, "He's gone to get the medicine." After speaking, he asked him, "How are you doing?"

Shen Zening smiled, "Very good, brother Lu, where are you now?"

Lu Yuan said calmly, "I don't work anymore."

Shen Zening made a surprised expression, "Really?"

Lu Yuan nodded.

Shen Zening suddenly changed into a gossip expression, "Brother Lu, are you really a rich second generation?"

Lu Yuan was a little confused, "Who did you listen to?"

Shen Zening scratched his forehead in embarrassment, "A few teachers were chatting in the tea room before, and I overheard it by accident."

Just as Lu Yuan was about to explain, Shen Zening's face changed, "I'm sorry Brother Lu, I didn't mean to ask..."

Lu Yuan shook his head and said it didn't matter, "I'm not a rich second generation."

Shen Zening was full of doubts, "Then why do they all say that?"

Lu Yuan didn't know the reason, maybe Zuo Li said it?Zuo Li has known him for a long time, and he has heard about his past events. Maybe he mentioned it to someone at some time, and spread rumors to this version.

Lu Yuan didn't explain much, Shen Zening felt that he said something wrong, touched his nose, "Brother Lu, do you have anything else to do later? How about I treat you and your friend to dinner?"

Lu Yuan didn't know if Bai Ruan was okay, and was about to refuse, Bai Ruan walked over with a bag, "Yuan'er, who is this?"

Afraid that he would throw the things away, Lu Yuan took the bag from his hand, looked at Shen Zening, "My brother, Bai Ru'an."

Looking at Bai Ru'an again, "This is my former colleague, Shen Zening."

Bai Ru'an nodded to Shen Zening, but Shen Zening stood up abruptly.His reaction was so strange that Bai Ru'an frowned.

Lu Yuan supported Bai Ru'an's arm to stand up, looked at Shen Zening, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zening was taken aback for a moment, "Brother Lu, you and your brother...are too similar, right?"

Lu Yuan was about to say that it was okay, but Bai Ruan beside him suddenly became excited, he loved to hear such words, and moved his face to Lu Yuan's when he heard this, "Really?"

Shen Zening looked around, "It really does look like that. If I had seen you first, I would have definitely recognized you as Brother Lu."

As expected, Bai Ru'an followed suit, and the unhappiness just now dissipated, "You're quite discerning, buddy."

After finishing speaking, he hooked Lu Yuan's shoulder and tried to put his face on Lu Yuan's cheek, "I just said we are very similar, right?"

Lu Yuan's legs were inconvenient, and he couldn't avoid it, so he could only support his face with his hands and try his best to push it out, so as not to let him make such childish behavior in broad daylight, and changed the subject by the way, "Do you want to go to dinner together?"

Bai Ru'an was coaxed by Shen Zening's words, and immediately agreed indifferently, regardless of her face being deformed by Lu Yuan's hand, "Okay, where are you going?"

Seeing him suddenly possessed by a childish spirit, Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed towards Shen Zening.Shen Zening didn't mind, "Brother Lu, do you have any taboos?"

Bai Ru'an was not shameless, Lu Yuan's hands were sore, he simply withdrew his hand suddenly, Bai Ru'an's center of gravity was unstable and he almost fell to the ground.

Lu Yuan pretended not to see it, and said to Shen Zening, "There is no taboo."

Shen Zening seemed to want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. He looked at Bai Ru'an and then at Lu Yuan, "Okay."

***

The three of them went to a Cantonese restaurant mentioned by Shen Zening.

The dishes are ordered by Bai Ruan, with less salt and less oil, and the bland ones are almost boiled in plain water. Lu Yuan and Shen Zening still have injuries, so it's good to eat this kind of food, but Bai Ruan's taste is neither spicy nor unpleasant. Lu Yuan saw that he didn't eat a few bites , sent a message to the food distribution store, planning to go home and make some for him.

Halfway through eating, Bai Ru'an put down his chopsticks, "I'm going to the bathroom."

As soon as he went out, only Lu Yuan and Shen Zening were left in the box.Lu Yuan added a bowl of soup and drank it slowly. Shen Zening, who was opposite him, suddenly opened his mouth, his face flushed, "Brother Lu, I want to trouble you."

Lu Yuan held the bowl, waiting for him to continue.

Shen Zening looked down at the soup cup, "Can I borrow a few days at your house?"

Lu Yuan put down the bowl, "To my house?"

Shen Zening was a little embarrassed, "I haven't been paid for these two months, and I can't afford to rent a house."

Before Lu Yuan could continue to ask, Shen Zening looked up at him and raised three fingers, "Just a few days! Brother Lu, I promise to move out as soon as I get the money."

He had a sincere face, and it was really hard for Lu Yuan to refuse.Lu Yuan looked at him and asked again, "My place is too remote, it's inconvenient for you to travel without a car, right?"

Seeing that he agreed, Shen Zening withdrew his hand and smiled, "It's okay, Brother Lu, I don't need to clock in for work now."

When he said this, Lu Yuan didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Zening has just graduated, and encountered such a thing again, if it is not impossible, he would not have said this to him. Lu Yuan bears the name of "Master", but he can't help him in his career , it is unavoidable to feel a little guilty, besides, it is only a few days, and the small bedroom next to the study is still empty, Lu Yuan thought about it, there should be no problem.

Bai Ru'an came back soon, but Shen Zening didn't speak again.

After dinner, Bai Ru'an wanted to send Lu Yuan home.Lu Yuan pulled his arm, "Help me."

Bai Ru'an turned her head, "Huh?"

Lu Yuan opened the back seat and let Shen Zening get up, "Xiao Shen is going to live with me these few days."

Bai Ru'an was dumbfounded.

The car first drove to the rented house by Shen Zening, Shen Zening went up to sort things out, while Bai Ruan and Lu Yuan were waiting in the car.

This neighborhood is quite old, Bai Ruan parked the car downstairs, watched Shen Zening enter the corridor through the window, took off his seat belt, turned half sideways to face Lu Yuan, "What do you mean to live with you?"

Lu Yuan looked at him, "He said he couldn't afford to rent the house, and asked if I could rent it for a few days."

Bai Ru'an was still confused, "Do you know this person well? Do you dare to bring him home?"

Lu Yuan thought for a while, "He is a college student of x."

Bai Ru'an waited for him to finish, "And then?"

Lu Yuan pursed his lips and did not speak.

Bai Ru'an asked him: "His parents don't care about him?"

Lu Yuan actually wanted to ask just now, but Shen Zening blushed from the bottom of his neck, which made Lu Yuan feel embarrassed to ask.

Seeing Lu Yuan's guilty look, Bai Ruan knew that he didn't ask, sighed, and said, "Then how many days will you stay?"

Lu Yuan: "..."

Bai Ru'an rolled her eyes, "Lu Yuan, you are really good at it, what if someone has evil intentions?"

Lu Yuan reluctantly defended, "He worked very seriously in the magazine before."

As I talked, I also felt that it was not convincing, and the more I spoke, the lower my voice became.

Bai Ru'an stared at Lu Yuan, "When he comes down later, lend him some money and let him rent a house."

Lu Yuan avoided his gaze, "It's not good." It hurt others' self-esteem too much.

Bai Ru'an stuck his head and turned his face back, "Brother, I'll call you brother, what do you say?"

Lu Yuan patted his hand away, just as the rear door opened, Shen Zening got into the car with the suitcase, "Thank you so much Brother Lu, otherwise I really don't know where I could go."

Bai Ru'an was about to speak, but Lu Yuan reached out and pinched his face.

Bai Ru'an stared at him, trying to threaten, "Lu Yuan?"

Lu Yuan turned his head and glanced at Shen Zening, "It's okay."

Looking back at Bai Ru'an again, she blinked slowly, "Let's drive."

Bai Ru'an was dumbfounded by his sudden cuteness, so he could only follow Lu Yuan's instructions and drive on the road.

Shen Zening knew that he had caused trouble for the other party, so he was very restrained when he arrived at Lu Yuan's house.Lu Yuan opened the door of the small bedroom and asked him to put his luggage in, "There is no bed in the guest bedroom, so I can only let you live here."

Shen Zening waved his hands again and again, "It's already fine, thank you Brother Lu."

He wanted to pack his things, Lu Yuan didn't like it, he planned to ask Bai Ruan to go to the living room to feed the cat, but he saw Bai Ruan standing outside the small bedroom door, staring at Shen Zening inside with a serious face.

Shen Zening was still inside, Lu Yuan could only mouth to Bai Ru'an, "What are you doing?"

Bai Ru'an gave him a push and told him to sit down, without taking his eyes off the small bedroom.

Seeing that he was overly vigilant, Lu Yuan was a little funny, so he deliberately raised his voice, "Don't you want to flirt with Qin Xiaoer, come here quickly."

Shen Zening heard the voice, turned around and saw both of them standing at the door of the bedroom, he was a little puzzled, "Brother Lu, what's wrong?"

Lu Yuan turned to look at him, "No, you can clean up."

Bai Ru'an gritted his teeth, glared at Lu Yuan, helped him jump back to the living room, and pointed Lu Yuan with his finger, "You really let him live here?"

Lu Yuan thought for a while, then slowly tilted his head, and looked straight at him with watery eyes, not acting coquettishly, but more soft-hearted than acting coquettishly.

Bai Ru'an was powerless to resist, so he could only close his eyes and look up to the sky and sigh, "You've learned badly."

Seeing that he let go, Lu Yuan quickly stuffed Qin Xiaoer who was at his feet into his arms, "Calm down."

Bai Ru'an stared at Lu Yuan straight, pinching Qin Xiaoer's fleshy pad in his hands, "Call me if you have anything to do."

Lu Yuan saw that Qin Xiaoer's pads were deformed by him, and felt very distressed. He didn't pay attention to what he said, and was about to hug the cat back, "Take it easy."

Bai Ru'an hugged the cat and hid back, raised a cat's paw and placed it in front of Lu Yuan, squeezed it threateningly, "Did you hear that?"

Lu Yuan looked at the cat and then at him, and finally rubbed his hair with his outstretched hand, "Got it."
