When Shi Yunnan walked onto the rooftop, the night wind was rustling.

The hotel deliberately reinforced high fences around the roof, and the outermost door was locked to prevent dangerous accidents.

Shi Yunnan looked around, fixed his gaze on a water tank enclosed in concrete and walked over without hesitation.

Getting close, he naturally saw the person behind the water tank

Yuan Rui leaned his back against the concrete wall, curled himself up in a small ball with his hands tightly hugging his legs, and buried his head in his knees with a vaguely sobbing sound.

At this moment, the drag that belonged to him on weekdays was nowhere to be seen.

Shi Yunnan felt relieved for a while, and he couldn't help but relieved, "How old are you? Still hiding here crying secretly?"

"..."

Yuan Rui's shoulders stiffened while sitting on the ground, and he raised his eyes slowly.

There was only a faint old-fashioned lamp on the rooftop, which happened to be stuck above the water tank where they were. The light was scattered, enough for the two to see each other's existence.

Yuan Rui saw Shi Yunnan who suddenly appeared here, and wanted to boost his self-esteem, "Why are you here? And, how do you know I am here?"

Shi Yunnan put down a dozen cold beer he brought up, raised his eyebrows, "The front desk of the hotel lobby said that I haven't seen you come down, and the other floors are mostly guest rooms or banquet halls. I thought about it, you should only run up."

No, the cat catches the mouse, every time it catches a mouse.

Shi Yunnan pulled out one of the cans of cold beer, squatted down and handed it over, "Here."

Yuan Rui hesitated for a moment, and felt that his face was lost today, and there was nothing to struggle.

So, he took Shi Yunnan's cold beer in a smashing jar, "What is it, where can the beer taste enough?"

Shi Yunnan heard his awkward disgusting tone, and snorted him with a grin, "Then don't drink it, it just puts on your swollen face, it's ugly."

"..."

Yuan Rui was slapped hard by Yuan Puguang. At this moment, the right half of his face was still red and swollen. With the red eyes and nose that he had obviously cried, he was embarrassed and a little confused and cute.

Having said that, it's because of his decent face, otherwise, don't know how badly it is to be disgusting.

Yuan Rui didn't answer, just pressed the cold beer on his face.

Because he tried too hard for a while, he subconsciously ‘hissed’, and then glanced at Shi Yunnan in embarrassment.

Shi Yunnan didn't hide his smile at all, took out a can of white wine from his trench coat pocket and handed it over, "Take it, the one with the highest degree, I am not responsible for being drunk."

Yuan Rui stared down at the white wine stuffed into the palm of his hand, and suddenly felt a touch of subtle touch——

Help.

Shi Yunnan is still so considerate?

Can actually guess that he wants to drink fierce liquor right now.

Shi Yunnan met his gaze and simply sat down across from him, "Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes. I have a husband."

"...Shi Yunnan, you!"

Yuan Rui was so stupefied that he had nothing to say, so he had to put a cold beer on his face in one hand, while biting and unscrewing the cap of the liquor bottle, "Don't be narcissistic, I didn't like you again."

Suddenly, the strong and rich alcohol scent penetrated into Yuan Rui's nose, choking him into a cough.

Shi Yunnan picked up the beer on the ground and took the initiative to touch him. Then he raised his head and started drinking.

Yuan Rui watched his behavior secretly, his mouth bends unconsciously, and he quickly suffocated as if he was aware of something.

When he had a dispute with Yuan Puguang in the past, he would either go to the nightclub to drink alone or hide to vent.

Yuan Rui felt that he hated being disturbed at such times, but facing Shi Yunnan who suddenly appeared in front of him, he had a rare illusion——

It would be great if the other party is your friend.

Shi Yunnan drank silently without speaking, Yuan Rui simply drank bored wine.

The night wind blew in waves, blowing up the drunkenness a little bit.

Yuan Rui drank hard enough, probably coupled with the emotional pressure on his heart, within half an hour, he groaned and asked, "Shi Yunnan, you don't want to know what happened in the box just now?"

"You are sitting next door, do you hear everything?"

Shi Yunnan shook the beer in his hand and replied calmly, "I didn't hear much, nor did I hear it comprehensively."

"Don't worry, I won't ask you what happened today. When your depression disappears and confirm that there will be no accidents, I will ignore your drunkard's life and death."

This was cold enough, as if he was just treating Yuan Rui as an unimportant stranger.

These words are intimate enough, at least for Yuan Rui at this moment, there is less interrogation and ridicule, more companionship and dignity.

Yuan Rui's heart moved, "Why? Because I helped you in the black shop that time?"

Shi Yunnan did not deny, "I said, I don't like to owe favors."

Yuan Rui curled his lips, "I wasn't helping you that time, I just passed by and couldn't stand it anymore."

Shi Yunnan didn't answer the conversation, and was silent for a long time. Yuan Rui's violent temper seemed to be because he couldn't hold back it anymore.

He put down the can of beer on his face, patted his painful but cold face, and said dullly, "My dad has such a temper, he doesn't usually hit me in front of outsiders."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yunnan's eyes flashed with surprise.

He thought that Yuan Rui's performance in the box would be full of resentment for Yuan Puguang and complained. He didn't expect that the first sentence of the other party's opening was actually to explain for his father?

"You can tell how old my dad is? Younger than parents who are not friends of my age."

Yuan Rui didn't deliberately go to see Shi Yunnan, but just confided him to the person on the spot, as if talking to himself to find a catharsis for himself.

"Yuan's five or six generations from the top of me were all engaged in jade carving. I heard that the jade carving of Grandpa Patriarch's back then can still be a tribute to the palace."

In that era when the level of education was not high, there was one word most believed in the art industry-strict teachers produce high-quality students.

Master's beating, scolding, discipline and even corporal punishment of his apprentices are common occurrences.

Those who are talented and able to survive will eventually gain Master’s craftsmanship and continue to work on. Those who have no talent and can't stand it up will naturally change their careers and make another way of living.

"At an age like my dad, when he was young, he learned jade carving from his grandfather by beating and scolding. My mother said that the more he learns, the more interesting he gets. He has been in jade carving all his life. craft."

Hara’s family rules are based on the jade carving industry.

"He only had me when he was almost fifty years old. He loved me, but he also put all hope on me."

"I heard my mother mentioned..."

Yuan Rui took a sip of wine, choked and coughed twice before continuing to say——

At the time of the lottery, he grabbed a piece of jade sculpture carved by Yuan Puguang himself, and was praised by the guests who came to him, saying that he was born to eat this meal.

Thinking about that time now, the burden was invisibly pressed against Yuan Rui.

Yuan Rui remembered that he was six or seven years old. When other children were still playing and didn't even understand the word'learning art', he had already held the carving knife and sat on the desk in front of the desk all day long. .

"I was weak at the time, and the carving knife and the jade were hard, so I could just carve a single word, and I could grind out blisters and blood marks on my fingertips. I couldn't hold back the cry and made the child lose the jade piece. , And my dad took a wicker and beat his palm."

Because the painful memory was too deep, Yuan Rui still vaguely remembered that day's heart-piercing.

Shi Yunnan narrowed his eyebrows slightly.

Whipping with wicker? This is again an overly pedantic rule left behind by the older generation.

In comparison, when he was six or seven years old, he was still in the tender arms of his mother at least, and the so-called "father" Shi Sheng also looked a bit like a father.

"My mother often tells me that I am my father's son, so he has stricter requirements on me. Teacher... Lu Zhaoan was adopted. Although my father also raised him as his son, after all Can't beat and scold in real form."

"I believe this!" Yuan Rui nodded heavily, and added with dim eyes, "But Lu Zhaoan has been doing everything well. He will never be beaten or scolded by my dad."

"Some professions, it depends on talent!" Yuan Rui's bitterness and grievance became heavier with his drunkenness.

"Lu Zhao An Neng can see at a glance what jade texture is suitable for engraving, but I can't. When I finally develop this vision, his jade carvings can already be sold in the shop."

Compared with experience, he is not as good as Lu Zhaoan.

He is not as good as Lu Zhaoan than talent.

Living under the same roof and under the same teacher, he is always incomparable day by day and year by year.

"I know that my dad is beginning to be disappointed in me. He is suffocating in his heart that he can't'carry on his father's inheritance', so whenever he praises Lu Zhaoan, he has to belittle me by the way."

"Whenever I scold me, I always carry a sentence,'Look at your brother, how could Yuan Puguang have such an ineffective son like you"!"

"..."

Shi Yunnan still didn't answer, but was silent again as a listener.

However, he knows that young people have their own xinxing, and if they live under another ‘shadow’ for a long time, problems will arise in the long run.

Yuan Rui felt a little ridiculous, and there was a hint of crying in his voice, "I also know that I will never be better than Lu Zhaoan. He is the sky and the moon, and I am the mud in the ground."

"In the eyes of my dad and those jade carvers, and even in Lu Zhaoan's heart, I will always be the one who is not qualified."

Not qualified enough, let alone standing side by side.

Yuan Rui began to become rebellious, he became arrogant, and he no longer abides by the rules, just showing a ridiculous self-esteem and face in front of others.

"I want them to know that even if I don't work in the jade carving industry, I can still have my own life!"

Yuan Rui laughed at himself and admitted before Shi Yunnan could speak, "Yes, this idea is naive, but I can only think of resistance like this."

Then what he got in exchange was Yuan Puguang's disputes and beatings that were higher than once.

"The more you are like this, the more it means you care about Won's." Shi Yunnan pointed out sharply.

What he really didn't care about was that he left without nostalgia for Shi's.

Yuan Rui looked at Shi Yunnan's gaze, and for the first time he did not awkwardly deny, "Yes, because my surname is Yuan! I no longer have the ability, and I don't want to watch our house go downhill!"

"You are like them, do you really think I care about Yuan's capital?" Yuan Rui shook his head, "Wrong."

Yuan Rui knows that Lu Zhaoan is more capable of managing the Yuan clan than he does, and he does not complain that the person who is now taking care of the Yuan clan is the other party.

It's just the self-esteem blow from childhood to the big day and the intensified low self-esteem day and night, and Yuan Rui is not allowed to say the slightest word to Lu Zhaoan to admit defeat.

"On the day of the accident in the database, you came to me more and more and said that he wanted to invest in the new jade design of Yuan's family, and the share would be calculated in the future."

When Shi Yunnan heard this, a trace of irony flashed between his eyebrows and eyes——

Sure enough, some of the trajectories of destiny would still overlap, but Xie Keyue was still thinking about profiting from the Hara family at this juncture.

"I didn't agree at first." Yuan Rui said.

On the one hand, he knows that this matter is the responsibility of the safety of road photos, and does not want to find another ‘investor’ to check and weigh the other’s future decisions.

On the other hand, it is because the original jade carvings have gone downhill, and the newly opened jade design is currently uncertain whether it will be profitable.

In other words, when Lu Zhaoan first negotiated with Yuan Puguang, he felt that unless he could bite his teeth and persist to open up the market, he would definitely lose money in the early stage.

Yuan Rui didn't want to pit his friends.

"I'm actually very confused about you, Ke Yue and Shi's family, but for me, Ke Yue is indeed the only friend who has recognized me since I was a child."

When Yuan Rui said this, he suddenly remembered Shi Yunnan's compliment to him in the library that day, so he silently added the last sentence in his heart: you count as the second one.

Yuan Rui is a little talented in cognition and judgment of rough stones and jade, but this ability is the most basic and least valuable in the eyes of jade carving masters like Yuan Puguang.

Shi Yunnan looked at Yuan Rui, who was beginning to appear drunk, but whose eyes were rare to be pure and serious, and then understood——

Yuan Rui grew up in such suppressive speech, what he needs most is the approval of outsiders.

As for Xie Keyue's mouth, water can be regarded as honey by him. Not to mention, he was very likely to approach Yuan Rui with a purpose in the beginning.

In the dream of Shi Yunnan's original book, Yuan Rui is indeed one of the few friends Xie Keyue has sincerely associated with. Perhaps the initial friendship between the two was built on this basis.

"After I rejected Ke Yue's proposal for the first time, he said again that he was willing to admit his fate even if he lost money in the end."

However, the only condition for Xie Keyue's investment is to let his friend Yuan Rui participate in Yuan's jade design instead of his identity.

He said that he was working on Shi's side, and he couldn't do two things with one heart, but he could only do the investment step.

"But the more I recognize my ability to identify jade, I also feel that it is better for me to guard my own property than others. Even if things happen in the future, the decision-making power is in Lu Zhaoan's hands."

Shi Yunnan twitched the corners of her mouth without a trace.

Xie Keyue's appearance really completely packaged himself into a good person. On the one hand, he gave Yuan Rui a lot of face, and on the other hand, he regarded himself as a shopkeeper.

Probably it was the first two times that he personally participated in the investment project and fell into trouble. Xie Keyue was more conservative this time.

But the most important thing is that Xie Keyue, the "book wearer", never makes uncertain investments. Since he is willing to invest in Yuanshi, it represents Yuanshi's jade design road. Eight out of ten are destined. Profitable.

Yuan Rui poured the last sip of white wine in, and leaned against the concrete wall and muttered, "While I was persuaded by him, he actually hid a little selfishness of invisibleness."

"what?"

Yuan Rui hummed twice as though he laughed at himself, and the feeling of grievance in his heart returned, "...I want to help him."

Shi Yunnan was stunned for two seconds before realizing that the "he" in Yuan Rui's mouth was referring to Lu Zhaoan, and then, even if Yuan Rui didn't speak, he guessed the reason.

Lu Zhaoan broke Yuan’s rules of ‘exquisite jade carving’ and changed his jade design. Doubts and pressure from others are definitely inevitable.

If you lose too much in the end, everyone's responsibility and accusation will fall on him alone, but with Xie Keyue's investment, at least the financial pressure can reduce the burden.

What's more, Yuan Rui joined voluntarily. If he does it seriously, he can help in jade procurement and material selection. Even if he fails in the end, Lu Zhaoan will not bear the scolding alone.

On the contrary, more curses will be concentrated on Yuan Rui's body——

Because he is the only son of Yuan Puguang, and because he was a waste of ‘doing nothing’ since he was a child.

Since ancient times, the mediocre people are more infamous.

After Shi Yunnan thought about the effort for a while, Yuan Rui on the opposite side completely sobbed because of his drunkenness. "I specially booked the hotel box, so I wanted to tell them seriously, I also want to do my best for Yuan's..."

But only when he mentioned a beginning, he was blocked by Yuan Puguang involuntarily.

The hope in his heart fell through, Yuan Rui eagerly refuted a few sentences, and only then did the two accusations that Shi Yunnan and others heard halfway through the dinner.

"Where's Xie Keyue? How could he come?"

Shi Yunnan asked questions without evasiveness. He clearly remembered that Xie Keyue was not seen when the two families first met at the elevator entrance.

Yuan Rui shook his head, "I told him about this today, and also told him not to come for now."

After all, Yuan Rui wanted to convince his parents first, and then find time to bring friends and family to meet in another day.

Even if it is unsuccessful, the friendship between him and Xie Keyue will not be particularly damaged.

"But the more probably I was afraid that I couldn't persuade my parents, so I came here temporarily."

"The result? My dad started talking to me more and more fiercely in front of him. I really tried to endure it, but still, I still couldn't hold back my temper..."

The more Yuan Rui thought about it, the more aggrieved, the confidence he had accumulated over the past few days collapsed on the spot again.

"Shi, Shi Yunnan." He raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, tears accumulated in his eyes and refused to fall.

"In the eyes of you outsiders, am I really... terrible..."

It's so bad that no matter how hard you try, no one wants to believe that he also wants to do something serious?

Shi Yunnan looked at Yuan Rui, who was holding her mouth in front of her crying at this moment, and inexplicably thought of the little goldfish at home, probably because of the face that hadn't been cleansed with milk fat.

Shi Yunnan moved closer and told the truth, "Although you are a man who is arrogant and arrogant, I don't think your heart is bad. No one can be perfect. You and I are the same."

Shi Yunnan touched her pocket, really did not bring a tissue, "Cry if you want to cry, I won't laugh at you."

"..."

The corners of Yuan Rui's mouth were squeezed hard, but tears continued to fall.

The grievances and low self-esteem over the years are pouring out like mountain torrents, and they are actually resting on Shi Yunnan's shoulders without thinking.

Shi Yunnan stiffened for half a second, but Yuan Rui's cry was stopped by Yuan Rui's hand that he wanted to resist.

"I'm not playing, I, I really just want to help them, why did he only scold me when I was young?"

The more he is reprimanded, the more Yuan Rui is afraid of making mistakes, and the more he is afraid of making mistakes, the less he can concentrate on doing a good job.

At first, Yuan Rui was willing to follow Lu Zhaoan and yelling to his brother happily, but gradually, those polarized reprimands and compliments made the distance between them farther and farther.

Until he tried hard, he couldn't catch up.

Because of the unresolvable inferiority deep in his heart, Yuan Rui began to admit his fate, began to give up struggling, and began to watch other masters and elders lift each other to the high platform, and then let him fall into the mud.

The more the other party accommodates him, the more he resists.

Yuan Rui became more and more confused as she cried, and even burped untimely.

Shi Yunnan didn't expect Yuan Rui to have the side of a small crying bag. At this moment, he was still entangled in the drunk, so that he cried so much that even his windbreaker was soaked wet.

In desperation, took out phone and sent a location to Lu Zhaoan in WeChat, which was concise and concise——

"Come to pick up your little crying bag."

From sending out the message to reaching the rooftop, Lu Zhaoan only took less than twenty minutes.

Panting, undispelled worries gathered in his eyes, until he approached the two of them, he barely suppressed a pant, "Mr. Shi, I'm sorry to trouble you."

In the box just now, even though Yuan Puguang strictly forbade him, Lu Zhaoan still ran out against his teacher's orders, but Yuan Rui turned off his mobile phone immediately, and he really couldn't find anyone.

Yuan Rui cried halfway and fell asleep, but now he could still snore.

"..."

Shi Yunnan made no secret of her disgust, and felt amused, "It's hard for you to stand with such a junior."

Lu Zhaoan didn't speak, but with Shi Yunnan's assistance, he brought Yuan Rui back to him.

Shi Yunnan picked up the beer bottles on the ground together, and after thinking about it, he said, "Mr. Lu, it's true that I don't have a good relationship with Xie Keyue."

"If Yuan's accepted Xie Keyue's investment, then I would not choose to cooperate."

Spend your energy on making money for the enemy?

Shi Yunnan is not yet so kind.

Lu Zhaoan's expression changed slightly, and he answered truthfully, "Master and his old man have no plans to invest and cooperate with Xie Keyue. He just said some serious remarks at the dinner table. In fact, he wants to let Mr. Xie retreat."

After all, the visitor was a guest. No matter how reluctant, Yuan Puguang couldn't attack in front of Xie Keyue, so he pointed the finger at his son.

It's just that Yuan Puguang got used to speaking and couldn't worry about Yuan Rui's mood, so a big dispute broke out afterwards.

Lu Zhaoan felt sorry for Yuan Rui's frustration, but couldn't blame the teacher who nurtured him, and it didn't feel good for him to be caught in the middle.

"Well, then I will go back first."

Shi Yunnan nodded slightly and chose to go downstairs with their senior brothers.

After he drove away, Lu Zhaoan weighed the rare and honest Yuan Rui on his back.

Yuan Rui seems to be very familiar with this kind of recitation, even in his sleep he still does not forget to circle Lu Zhaoan with his hands tightly.

"Brother..."

The babble reached his ears, Lu Zhaoan's pace suddenly stopped, and a complex gleam of light passed through his eyes.

After a long silence, he walked towards the parking lot with Yuan Rui behind his back.

When Shi Yunnan returned home, Xiao Jinyu and others had already washed and went to sleep.

Luo Lingsheng, who was staying in the study, heard the slight movement on the stairs, immediately put down the report documents, and walked out of the wheelchair under the control of the wheelchair.

In the next second, the two met their sights.

The smile on Shi Yunnan's lips widened, and he leaned closer, "I thought you were all asleep."

"No, I'm waiting for you." Luo Lingsheng replied.

He changed his mind and asked what happened to his lover in the past two or three hours, "Has the original young master found it? How is the situation?"

At the end of the speech, he caught a glimpse of a large dark water stain on the shoulder of Shi Yunnan's windbreaker, "Why is the coat dirty?"

Shi Yunnan glanced down and couldn't laugh or cry. "It's a long story, aren't you busy? I'll tell you when I go back to the room."

Seeing that the light in the study was off, he simply pushed Luo Lingsheng to the bedroom.

After entering the bedroom and closing the door, Shi Yunnan sat down by the bed casually and recounted what happened just after finding Yuan Rui.

Luo Lingsheng is not a talkative person, so Shi Yunnan naturally doesn't have to deliberately scruples.

"Now I can be 100% sure that Yuan Rui himself is not bad, but he has not been sure since he was a child, which has led to his awkward and reckless personality."

"It's a person like him, it's too easy to be used by someone with a heart."

Luo Lingsheng pierced his hidden words, "You mean Xie Keyue?"

Shi Yunnan hummed, it was a tacit understanding.

Of course, it is the right of freedom to make friends with others, and Shi Yunnan is not Xie Keyue, and he will not keep talking bad things about each other in front of Yuan Rui.

He pointed to the crying stains on his clothes, and remembered Yuan Rui’s rare little crying bag, he couldn’t help but laughed, “You don’t know, I saw Yuan Rui four or five times, every time he pulled him to the point. God, holding me and crying today for the first time?"

"..."

Luo Ling's expression didn't change obviously, "Did he hug you?"

Shi Yunnan was still immersed in ‘fun’, and didn’t notice the subtle changes in the other party for a while, “Yes, this guy is quite powerful when he is drunk, and I can’t get rid of it for a while.”

"You said, if he thinks of his words and deeds tonight after he wakes up tomorrow, will he avoid me when he sees me in the future?"

"Speaking of which, Yuan Rui is not as mature as our little goldfish in some aspects, which is quite funny."

"..."

Luo Lingsheng still did not speak.

He always felt that Shi Yunnan always had an unspeakable preference for Yuan Rui's evaluation?

Seeing that Luo Lingsheng hadn't spoken for a long time, Shi Yunnan took a closer look and finally found something wrong.

He approached with interest, and asked, "Luo Lingsheng, are you listening to me?"

"I heard."

"Then what did I say?"

Luo Lingsheng rubbed his finger on one side slightly, and answered the question, "Take off your coat and go take a bath first."

"Okay."

Shi Yunnan deliberately took off his coat in front of Luo Lingsheng's face, and teased again between his eyebrows, "Husband, what about this coat? How about tens of thousands of children."

Luo Lingsheng saw Shi Yunnan's deliberate ridicule, took his hand directly into his arms, and threw out the answer repeatedly, "Don't you lose this coat."

and……

You let me hug.
