Lu Weifu upstairs

Chapter 109

Half a month later, Shanghai.

When Zhao Xin and Liu Yusheng arrived at the hot pot restaurant, Xu Yihan was already sitting at the table.He shaved his hair into a short cut and wore a lake blue T-shirt, making him look young and capable.On the contrary, it was Zhao Xin and Liu Yusheng, both of them had dark circles under their eyes, their hair had grown out, and they looked a little out of sorts.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Xu Yihan asked in surprise, "Did you become a thief at night?"

Zhao Xin didn't even bother to roll his eyes, Liu Yusheng whispered, "We're done!"

"..."I Don't Want Superpowers" is over?"

"Yeah!" Liu Yusheng brushed back the overly long hair on his forehead, "It was finished last night, and we updated [-] words in one go."

Xu Yihan: "Five thousand per person?"

Liu Yusheng nodded: "Almost."

"That's okay, Zhao Xin didn't change [-] a day before," Xu Yihan raised his eyebrows, "Are you so vain now?"

Zhao Xin said indifferently: "You don't know a fart." He looked completely overwhelmed, with black eye circles and blue stubble on his face, and his expression was sleepy.

"Hey, what about this... How should I put it?" Liu Yusheng squeezed Zhao Xin's hand, as if smoothing his hair, "There is motivation when there is competition. We write alone, so there is no competition... We can write twice a day. A thousand words are good."

Xu Yihan: "Is that so? But I remember that both of you used to change at least three thousand a day."

"That was before, we were not together," Zhao Xin asked, "Have you never been in love?"

Xu Yihan shook his head and sighed: "So falling in love will really affect work efficiency."

After tens of thousands of verbal abuse from thousands of fans, the carnival of Dyson CP fans, and the doubts and praises of readers and passers-by, "I Don't Want Superpowers" was finally serialized on Liu Yusheng's trumpet many years ago.

Although they never admitted it publicly, readers naturally understand that it is Canned Hairtail and Donaldson who are wearing a small vest to update the text, and this trumpet is exactly the one used by Canned Hairtail to continue writing "The Man Upstairs" .

This is obviously beyond the scope of "cp speculation" - if it is really for hype, of course it will not drag out all the black history to stir up speculation.It seems that the only explanation can only be: don't ask, asking is love.It's a pity that CP fans have been howling for nearly two months, but they still haven't been able to wait for the Lord's acknowledgment.The two righteous masters not only refused to admit it, but even the updates were procrastinating, with no more than [-] words a day—later, according to an insider, Lu Bianyue broke the news, "The writers are all dead houses, and they both have N years I have never been in love, you know, the old house is on fire..."

@Donaldson finally posted on Weibo: Who are you talking about old houses?

@Canned hairtail fish: It’s not as if it’s on fire...

Lu Bianyue: Tsk.

CP fan: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——

In this way, "I Don't Want Superpowers" came to an end amidst the intense pursuit of articles and CP.On the night of the end, Zhao Xin and Liu Yusheng updated [-] words successively, and they still had some meaning after typing the words "full text", so they set the "old house" on fire for two hours.So much so that when they saw Xu Yihan at noon the next day, they had the look of being a thief last night.

"Where's your...girlfriend?" Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment, "Break up?"

Xu Yihan:?

"Can't you expect me to order?" Xu Yihan said, "She went to the door to buy milk tea."

Zhao Xin: "Oh, I thought you were worthless, so I got kicked."

Xu Yihan: "... Forget it, I don't care about it with you."

Half a month ago, "Records of Henan "Zhengxin Nursing Home"" hit the Internet, and as expected, this documentary was quickly blocked. Bilibili was taken off the shelves, Weibo was removed from hot searches, and Xu Yihan was also invited to "drink tea".He was taken away when he went downstairs to take out the trash, when Deng Yuan was cooking at home.

It was a whole week before Deng Yuan saw Xu Yihan again.Xu Yihan lost a lot of weight, his lips were chapped, but his eyes were still bright.The two met at the gate of the police station, people came and went, Deng Yuan just stared at Xu Yihan, his lips were trembling, but he didn't speak.Xu Yihan quickly put his arms around his shoulders, and comforted him hoarsely: "Sister, I'm fine, really."

Afterwards, the Zhengzhou police issued a statement saying they would investigate the "Zhengxin Nursing Home".But at this moment, Xu Yihan and Deng Yuan had no dissatisfaction or excitement. They all understood that the investigation may not have results, and the results may not necessarily be satisfactory to them. Taking a step back, there is no result that can satisfy them at all—— The harm done and the dead are irreparable.

But from another perspective, if those sufferings can be recorded, everything is worth it.

Deng Yuan walked over holding a cup of milk tea. Today he put on a rather youthful makeup, his eyelids were slightly red, and his cheeks were also slightly red.He was wearing a white blouse with an off-the-shoulder collar and a crisp sky blue pleated skirt. His black hair hung softly on his shoulders.

Three people, six eyes, all fell on Deng Yuan.

Liu Yusheng thought to himself: How beautiful, boys can be so beautiful...

Xu Yihan thought to himself: Elder sister dresses too well, especially this sky blue dress, which matches my blue T-shirt very well... Isn't this a couple outfit?

Zhao Xin thought to himself: The cabbage is a pig.

Before the bottom of the pot boiled, Liu Yusheng and Zhao Xin drank tea, Deng Yuan drank milk tea, Xu Yihan stared at Deng Yuan and drank milk tea——at the same time, he asked, "When will you two return to Wuhan?"

"The day after tomorrow," Zhao Xin said, "the air ticket in the morning.

"Coincidentally, we will also return to Wuhan the morning after tomorrow—but we will take the high-speed rail," Xu Yihan looked at Deng Yuan and smiled, "The high-speed rail tickets are a little cheaper, anyway, we are not in a hurry."

Zhao Xin: "...what are you doing back to Wuhan?"

"We stayed in Wuhan for one night, and then went back to Jingzhou," Deng Yuan explained, "Going back...to see my family, I haven't been back for many years."

Xu Yihan: "I'll go visit my mother's grave."

Zhao Xin was stunned for two seconds holding the teacup, then nodded: "...Then help me bring a bouquet of flowers to Auntie."

Xu Yihan smiled: "No problem."

Frankly speaking, Zhao Xin did not expect such a day——Xu Yihan said calmly, "Go to my mother's grave."He even felt that the word "my mother" would never come out of Xu Yihan's mouth, no matter whether Xu Yihan would become another old Xu, no matter whether Xu Yihan could avenge his mother, the word "my mother" would never come out of Xu Yihan's mouth. Always his off limits.

But Xu Yihan said it so easily, he wanted to go back to Jingzhou to visit his mother's grave.For a moment, Zhao Xin felt as if a thousand sails had been exhausted.

"What about you?" Xu Yihan asked, "You won't leave after returning to Wuhan?"

"Go back to Wuhan for a while, and then... go back to my house," Liu Yusheng said in a low voice, "see my mother." His appearance obviously lacked confidence, and Xu Yihan understood that the two of them were going to come out to Liu Yusheng's mother.

"Well," Xu Yihan looked at Zhao Xin, turned his head to comfort Liu Yusheng, "don't worry too much, if it doesn't work, let Zhao Xin kneel in front of your house for a long time to atone for it."

Liu Yusheng: "How can I do that?!"

Zhao Xin: "Have you been kneeling at your sister's door for a long time?"

Deng Yuan: "..."

Xu Yihan smiled swishingly: "Of course not, my sister loves me so much."

Just as Zhao Xing was about to say something, the waiter just brought a plate of Maodu to the table, so the four of them rinsed their Maodu and didn't bother to talk.

In short, this hot pot meal was quite harmonious.

The only accident was that when Xu Yihan went to check out, he bumped into a girl with short hair.The girl was wearing a hot pot restaurant uniform, with a towel on her shoulders and an empty plate in her hand.

Xu Yihan and the girl faced each other two by two, their expressions were terrified.

"Xiao Kong?"

So the four of them failed to leave, ordered some snacks, and continued to sit in the hot pot restaurant.

Deng Yuan stared at Xiao Kong in a daze as he shuttled between the tables. Her shoulders were as thin as paper, and she was somewhat hunchbacked, but her steps were brisk.She bowed farewell to the guests, cleared the table, and poured tea and water for the new guests, very skillfully.

Until the hot pot restaurant closed at two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Kong changed her clothes and walked out with her head down: "...Miss Qing." She didn't even dare to look at Deng Yuan, her voice was limp.

Deng Yuan: "Where have you been...?"

"Kong Kong!" A face suddenly poked out from the door of the store, with smiles on the corners of the eyes and brows, "My admission letter has arrived!"

Deng Yuan: "...Xiao An?"

"Huh?" Xiao An walked in and opened her eyes wide, "Sister Qing?"

In a drink shop, Xiao An said quickly: "She didn't lie to you for your money, really! It's——her parents thought you were rich. After taking the 18 yuan, she still wanted to... still want to come. extort money."

Xiao Kong still hung his head and sat aside.

"She has no choice but to run home first, so that her parents can't come to you... She stayed at home until the beginning of this month, when she was full, she ran out again," Xiao An said, her eyes were a little red "Didn't she have a fractured clavicle at the time? The road was too tiring, and later she had sequelae - a problem with the cervical spine and a hunchback all the time. Also, she was beaten by her father before she ran away from home this time. Her waist was so big. A scar..."

Xiao Kong touched Xiao An with his elbow, and said softly, "Stop talking."

"...You are back, why don't you come to us?" Deng Yuan frowned, "We will take you to the hospital."

Xiao Kong was silent, and after a while said: "I dare not, you must all think I am a liar... I want to earn some money and pay you back first, so that you can trust me," she said, looking at Xu Yihan, "I I can't make 18 at once, but I want to pay you back as much money as possible. Really, I have saved all the money—" She took out her mobile phone, opened the Bank of China APP, and transferred the account balance, and said eagerly: " Look, I have already saved a thousand and seventeen."

"Sister, I took her to the hospital." Xiao An stretched out her hand and tapped Xiaokong's neck lightly, "the doctor said, there's no other way, it's the only way."

Everyone looked at Xiao Kong, the girl who ran away from home in Anhui to Shanghai, returned to Anhui because her parents extorted money, and fled to Shanghai again as an adult.Xu Yihan remembered that she was also transgender and wanted to become a boy.

He once regarded her as a liar, as the world's innocent mockery of Deng Yuan.

It turns out that she is not a liar, and Deng Yuan is not naive either.

They are just affectionate and helpless.

"You don't need to pay back the money," Xu Yihan said, "Just take care of yourselves."

Xiao Kong shook his head: "No, I..."

"It's really not necessary," Xu Yihan showed her a gentle smile, "Do you want to go to school? I'll find you a high school to study. You see, your girlfriend has already passed the college entrance examination."

·

Two days later, the plane landed at Tianhe Airport.

Zhao Xin turned on the phone and habitually checked Moments.

Wu Yan was interviewing a self-employed young entrepreneur in Tongren, Guizhou, and posted a photo of herself and the entrepreneur; Xu Yiqian became serious after taking over the Xu Group, and shared news of the Xu Group in her circle of friends every day; I don’t know if I’m going to look for Zhang Li, or if I can find it; Xu Yihan took a picture of Xiaokong’s back doing the papers at his desk, and said with emotion, “It’s really hard for children to go to school”... It’s like becoming a father.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be such a person," Liu Yusheng shook his head in amazement, "It's really like a different person. Could it be that he has actually been pierced by someone else's soul?"

Zhao Xin echoed with a smile: "I doubt it too."

It wasn't until they boarded Metro Line [-] and approached "Guangbutun" one stop at a time that Zhao Xin said seriously: "Xu Yihan is going to visit his mother's grave."

"Well," Liu Yusheng said, "it's not easy."

"That person is very, very stubborn," Zhao Xin sighed softly, "but he finally said it—his mother—you see, he said it calmly, and he didn't know how many times he cried behind his back."

Liu Yusheng nodded and took Zhao Xin's hand.

He held Zhao Xin with one hand, and grabbed the pink railing of Line [-] with the other, all the way from Tianhe Airport to Guangbutun.

Pushing Zhao Xin into the school, Liu Yusheng asked in a low voice, "What if your father asks that question again?"

Zhao Xin: "Which one?"

"If one day, you stop writing..."

Zhao Xin's tone was firm: "I will keep writing, and if I don't write about Tanmei, I will write about other things...so you will always like me."

Liu Yusheng added: "I will always like you if you stop writing."

Zhao Xin: "I will write."

"You're also stubborn." Liu Yusheng hooked Zhao Xin's palm and said helplessly, "Okay, then I'll tell your dad that his problem is not valid, because you will keep writing."

Zhao Xin: "Yes."

Liu Yusheng: "Are you sure?"

Zhao Xin: "Of course."

So both of them stopped talking.

Under the shade of trees covering the sky and the sun, Liu Yusheng pushed Zhao Xin forward slowly.

A long, long time ago, an extremely frustrated writer wrote an article in which the hero was named Lu Weifu.Lu Weifu has experienced all kinds of failures in his life: whether he was enlightened or Shun Gu next door, none of them belonged to him.He wandered for half his life and returned to his hometown, and went to many places to buy a velvet flower that Shun Gu wanted, only then did he learn that Shun Gu had already died.

Liu Yusheng once asked Zhao Xin why he used "Lu Weifu" as a pen name to participate in the competition?Zhao Xin was silent for a long time, and replied, it may be because I, like Lu Weifu, always have unwanted tenderness towards this world.

He sent this sentence to Liu Yusheng on WeChat, and he was even embarrassed to say it.

Later, Liu Yusheng followed the three words "Lu Weifu" and thought of many people and things: Xu Yihan, Deng Yuan, documentaries, Zhang Li, sister, rape, violence, Xiaokong, Zhao Xin, himself, writing.

They have fought against this world in various ways, but in the final analysis, they still inevitably love it, or inevitably have unwanted tenderness for it.Maybe they are all losers, justice will not come, happiness will not come, recognition will not come, and even words are difficult to set up a monument for suffering.They will eventually become Lu Weifu one after another, and all their love for this world will be lost with that one velvet flower.

They will always live in contradictions, self-blame, questioning, and ridicule, always love, always fight, and always offer their sincerity and then be misunderstood or hurt.

The onlookers don't care whether it's worth it or not, but they think it's worth it.

……are you sure?

Sure.
