like the abyss

Chapter 14

The door of the box rang a few times, Bai Ru'an let Lu Yuan go, wiped his hands with a towel, "Come in."

It was only then that Lu Yuan saw that Qin Suzheng's expression on the opposite side was very bad.Lu Yuan has always been unable to figure out Qin Suzheng's thoughts, just like he can't figure out why he is angry now.Sometimes Lu Yuan reflected on himself and felt that he was like a scumbag straight man, always testing his girlfriend on the verge of getting angry.

It was Uncle Li that Bai Ru'an was talking about who came in.Holding a jar in his arms and a set of small drinking utensils in his hand, he pushed open the door with his shoulder and came in.

Bai Ru'an saw that he was inconvenient to move, so he got up to meet him, took the jar from his arms and put it on the table, "Uncle Li, why are you here?"

The other party smiled kindly, "You haven't been here for a long time, how is your food?"

Bai Ru'an also laughed, "Uncle Li's craftsmanship has improved again."

Uncle Li put the wine utensils in his hand on the table, "As long as the young master eats well." He pointed to the wine jar on the table, "Mr. Lu called two days ago and said he wanted the green plum wine I made. Young master, if you come here today, you can bring an altar back for Mr.

Bai Ru'an nodded in agreement.

Uncle Li disassembled the wine set, and found a delicate jug and three small wine glasses.He poured three glasses of wine from the jug, placed them in front of the three of them, and motioned them to taste, "The plums from this batch are good, and the wine made from them is also delicious."

The wine glass is small and porcelain white, and the wine in the glass is tender blue-yellow, which is very attractive.Lu Yuan drank a cup, and his mouth was filled with the fragrance of green plums. The taste of the wine was so light that he could hardly taste it.

Qin Suzheng didn't drink, looked at Uncle Li and nodded apologetically: "I have to drive later, it's not convenient to drink."

Uncle Li didn't mind, he waved his hand and smiled.

Bai Ru'an's eyes lit up after drinking, "Uncle Li, it's really delicious!"

Uncle Li pushed the pot inward, "This wine is strong, young master, slow down, it's not enough for me."

The waiter knocked on the open door, "Boss, a guest is looking for you."

Bai Ru'an had already taken the jug into his hands, and looked at Uncle Li with a smile, "Uncle Li, go and do your work, I will call you if I have something to do."

Uncle Li nodded and followed the waiter out.

Bai Ru'an filled up Lu Yuan, raised his head and asked Qin Suzheng: "Senior, don't you really want to drink?"

Qin Suzheng shook his head.

Bai Ru'an drank another small cup, looked at Qin Suzheng and then at Lu Yuan curiously, "Haven't you guys met before?"

Lu Yuan recalled when he was a child, and was about to speak: "Yes..."

Was interrupted roughly by Qin Suzheng: "No."

However, Bai Ru'an had already heard half of what Lu Yuan said, and looked at Lu Yuan with wide eyes, "When did it happen?"

Lu Yuan didn't dare to look at Qin Suzheng, and faintly felt that his anger level had risen by another notch. For some reason, he was a little guilty, and said in a low voice, "You saw it when you first arrived at Lu's house."

Bai Ru'an thought about it for a while, and suddenly clenched his right fist and bumped the palm of his left hand, "I remember!"

Qin Suzheng didn't hear what Lu Yuan said, only saw the two sitting together whispering their ears.Bai Ru'an asked him: "Senior, do you still remember seeing me at Lu's house when you were young?"

Qin Suzheng didn't expect that Lu Yuan was talking about this matter.

At that time, Bai Ru'an had just arrived at Lu's house, and at Lu Yuan's mother's "memorial meeting", he was surrounded by some fierce young masters, and heard them say that he was an illegitimate child.He was still too young, he didn't know how to refute, and his face flushed.Bai Fangping followed the other wives to other places, but Bai Ru'an couldn't find her, and refused to go to Lu Jiming, her eyes were red with grievance.

When Bai Ru'an was younger, she and Bai Fangping lived in the apartment rented by Bai Fangping.Bai Fangping is not the only lover of Lu Jiming. In Bai Ru'an's memory, the number of times he saw Lu Jiming is also one of the few.The children didn't recognize anyone, Bai Ru'an even called Lu Jiming "Uncle Lu" who came to see their mother and child occasionally.But Bai Fangping is a capable person, as soon as Bai Ruan called "Uncle Lu", she hugged Bai Ruan and shed tears, looking at Lu Jiming with anger and resentment, as if she thought that he came so rarely that her son could not even recognize him.Lu Yuan's own mother never cried, she was used to being domineering, thinking that she was still the eldest lady of the family and the benefactor of Lu Jiming's fortune, always looking superior, asking Lu Jiming to love her like a charity.Bai Fangping was the exact opposite of her, tears came as soon as she said it, she was soft and weak, as if she had no way of living without Lu Jiming, and she had to rely on Lu Jiming all the time.Lu Jiming liked her very much, and Bai Fangping succeeded in taking the position within a short period of time.

Bai Ru'an had just moved from a high-rise apartment to the Lu family's mansion, and he still couldn't recognize the way. The little one ran quietly to the back garden, holding back tears from the flowers all over the garden.Qin Suzheng was also a half-year-old boy at that time, and he disliked such a pretentious social interaction, so he ran to the backyard alone to breathe.

Qin Suzheng saw Bai Ruan on the flower bed under Lu Yuan's window.Sensing someone in front of him, Bai Ru'an raised his head and saw that Lu Jiming had brought him to see the Qin family just now, but he couldn't remember the brother's name, so he had to call him nasally, "Second Brother Qin."

Qin Suzheng was hit by this sound, rubbed his hair, and asked him in a low voice: "Why are you here alone?"

Children couldn't hold back their tears. When Qin Suzheng asked such a question, Bai Ruan's grievances flooded out, and she suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist and sobbing softly.

The well-behaved and beautiful child hugged him like this and cried softly. Qin Suzheng felt his heart softened. He softly coaxed him a few words, and then asked him, "Who bullied you?"

Bai Ru'an cried sadly, and spoke intermittently: "I don't...don't know them, they ran away suddenly... and said my mother is... mistress, and that I'm an illegitimate child..."

Qin Suzheng walked towards the main hall with him in his arms, "Brother asked them to apologize to you."

Bai Ru'an had completely forgotten about it after crying for a while, but Qin Suzheng remembered it, and even recognized him the first time he saw him in school.It's just that Bai Ru'an didn't remember it all the time, and kept calling him senior politely, Qin Suzheng couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Seeing Bai Ru'an remembering now, Qin Suzheng slightly softened his stern face, deliberately teasing him, "Back when they apologized, you left with Auntie crying, but you didn't say thank you to me."

Bai Ru'an couldn't bear to recall the expression on his face, "Senior, don't..."

Qin Suzheng smiled a little, "That's not what you called me at the time, your little face is all in tears..."

In order to stop him from continuing, Bai Ru'an covered his face in humiliation and surrendered, "Second Brother Qin."

Lu Yuan felt amused seeing him slumped, Qin Suzheng was satisfied and stopped teasing him, Bai Ruan was caught off guard when Lu Yuan learned of such a dark history, took another sip from his wine glass, and said in a very sad tone, "Who didn't get over it a little bit?" ?”

He forgot to ask, how did Lu Yuan know that they met.

Pretending to be melancholy sighed, Bai Ruan wanted to pour wine again, but the jug was already empty.The jug was in his hand all the time, and Lu Yuan didn't notice that he drank it all.The green plum wine was really strong, and after a while, Bai Ru'an couldn't sit up straight anymore.

Lu Yuan felt something was wrong with him, reached out to hold his arm, and asked him, "Are you drunk?"

On the opposite side, Qin Suzheng also suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly pulled away his chair and walked to Bai Ruan's side.The alcohol was getting too fast, Bai Ruan squinted at the interrogator and recognized it was Lu Yuan, so he leaned on his shoulder and mumbled, "I seem to be a little dizzy."

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Qin Suzheng had already changed his coat, pulled Bai Ruan off Lu Yuan, let him lean on him, looked at Lu Yuan, "I'll send him back."

Lu Yuan didn't object.He didn't drive today and drank again, so it was naturally inconvenient to see Bai Ruan off, so he got up and put on his own clothes, and then helped Bai Ruan put on his coat.Bai Ru'an sat on the chair, closed her eyes to cooperate with Lu Yuan's movements, asked to raise the left hand to raise the left hand, asked to raise the right hand to raise the right hand, very obedient.When Lu Yuan was helping him button the buttons, he suddenly opened his eyes and lifted the zipper of Lu Yuan's coat.

Qin Suzheng went to drive the car closer, while Lu Yuan supported Bai Ruan and waited in the hallway.Drunk people are very dead, Bai Ru'an may be a little uncomfortable drunk, breathing heavily, Lu Yuan try to stand as close as possible so that he can lean comfortably.

Qin Suzheng moved quickly, the car stopped in front of the hall, Lu Yuan opened the door of the back seat and let Bai Ruan get in first.

Bai Ru'an struggled, he was stronger than Lu Yuan, this swing almost threw them both to the ground, Lu Yuan quickly reacted to hold the car door, and hugged him with his backhand, "What's wrong?"

Bai Ru'an pushed him away, "You don't need to see me off when you go home."

Lu Yuan also drank a lot, and he was a little drunk at the moment. He fixedly looked at Bai Ru'an, trying to convince him with his eyes, "I want to give it away."

This is the case when Lu Yuan is drunk, a lot of thoughts are turning in his head, but his mouth can't keep up, he can only speak short sentences, all relying on the other party to read and understand.But at this moment, the person he was communicating with was even more drunk than him, and the two of them were not on the same channel at all.

Bai Ruan didn't meet his eyes, but pulled his hand, "It's so late, you go home and sleep."

Lu Yuan turned to him, "Don't sleep."

Bai Ru'an also knew that the two of them were almost thrown to the ground just now, so he only dared to hold back his strength and couldn't pull them apart.

Lu Yuan tilted his head to make eye contact with him, but Bai Ruan dodged and turned away in the opposite direction, his neck was about to be broken.

Qin Suzheng couldn't wait for Bai Ruan to get into the car for a long time, he opened the door and walked around, and saw two people holding the back door to a stalemate.

Bai Ru'an saw him first and asked him to come over and help pull Lu Yuan away, "Don't send Yuan'er off."

Qin Suzheng didn't see that Lu Yuan was drunk, so he took Bai Ru'an from Lu Yuan's arms, put his arms around him and let him sit in front, closed the car door and turned around to ask Lu Yuan, "Can I go back?"

At Lu Yuan's age, he naturally couldn't say "I can't go back", so he just nodded in a daze.Lu Yuan wanted to ask him why he was angry just now, but now is not the time to chat.After not seeing each other for a few days, Qin Suzheng suddenly became unfamiliar, and he felt a faint sense of uneasiness, but this premonition passed too quickly, and Lu Yuan didn't catch it.

Qin Suzheng didn't look at him any more, got into the car and drove out.
