”Do you think that after bringing Jiang Huai to my house for half a year, I will touch him?” Lu Wusui stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the company, his face gloomy.

　Lu Rumei said, “Whether to touch it or not is up to you. I have done everything I can, except feeding you medicine and throwing you into a room.”

　Lu Wusui held his forehead with his hand, “You’d better not do this.”

　”Of course I won’t. Do you think everyone is like the Jiang family?” The old lady said slowly and dropped another bombshell.

　She also knew about this.

　Some people, even if they are old or sick, should not be underestimated.

　Lu Rumei said, “Xiao Sui, grandma is old. This illness has made her open-minded about many things, including the Lu family’s property. The only thing she is worried about is that she still hasn’t been able to hold her great-grandson.”

　Lu Wusui was not moved. “If you can live to be 200 years old, will you still be able to hold your great-grandson’s grandson?”

　Lu Rumei didn’t say anything.

　She knew that she had interfered too much in this matter, but…

　This incident is a clash of concepts between two generations. It is hard to say who is right or wrong, and no one can convince the other.

　After hanging up the phone, Lu Rumei cleared her throat.

　Her family doctor knocked on the door and said to her, “Madam, it’s time to take your medicine.”

　Lu Rumei waved her hands and wanted to shake her head, but she found that her head was particularly heavy.

　She felt a familiar feeling of dizziness before her eyes, and when she came to her senses, she found that she had almost slipped to the ground and was helped up by the doctor.

　”You must take the medicine on time, otherwise you may not even make it through this year,” the doctor said solemnly, “and it will get worse and worse.”

　”All right, all right, reading is giving me a headache,” the old lady rubbed her temple, “bring me some water.”

　The doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was willing to take the medicine.

　Lu Rumei’s hand holding the cup was shaking a little.

　After she finished taking the medicine, she stared at her hands in a daze for a long while before she said vaguely, “You say, are people so useless when they get old?”

　The doctor said, “It’s always like this, old lady.”

　Lu Rumei sighed, “The doctor who used to be by my side, although he was not very clean, he was good at speaking softly. You are good.”

　The doctor lowered his head and said nothing.

　”I’ll tell Mr. Lu about this when the time is right,” Lu Rumei said. “I forced him to have a baby, and he probably hates me now, but I did what I should have done. The rest is up to them to decide.”

　The doctor said, “It’s best if you can figure it out.”

　Lu Rumei smiled and said, “What if I don’t want to understand? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Your President Lu is right. If I can live to be 200 years old, will I still hope to hold my great-grandchild’s grandchild?”

　Although she said this, she sighed in the end.

　*

　When Jiang Huai went home with his leave of absence certificate, the school leader followed him and chattered like an old man.

　”Don’t lose this thing. You’ll need it when you return to school. Of course, you can get a replacement if you lose it, but it’s best not to lose it.”

　Jiang Huai looked at the certificate of leave of absence and folded it twice casually.

　”Hey, hey, hey, don’t fold it – you’ve already folded it, forget it.”

　Jiang Huai put it in his pocket.

　The school leader followed him, trying to keep up with his pace. It must be said that people who sit in the office for a long time cannot compare with young people. At this moment, he was sweating profusely from running.

　”Have you got your drawing board, easel, and brushes?” He said with concern. “Check carefully to make sure you don’t leave anything behind. Of course, if you do leave anything behind, that’s fine. You can come pick it up when the time comes or we can deliver it…”

　Jiang Huai finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

　He wanted to show his temper, but after all, he was the school leader, so he didn’t dare to lose his temper. His cheeks puffed up with anger, “I know everything, teacher.”

　The leader stopped talking and wiped the sweat off his face.

　The two stood on the side of the road, and not long after, the Lu family’s car arrived.

　As soon as the Lu family driver’s face appeared, Jiang Huai’s angry expression subsided a little, and he even became a little obedient.

　The driver didn’t ask anything. He got out of the car to help him put the heavy things in the car, greeted the school leaders, and then got back in the car.

　The back seat window was open, revealing half of Jiang Huai’s face.

　The school leader came closer and said to him, “Xiao Jiang, if you have any questions at home, just call the teacher at school and ask. You are always welcome at school.”

　Jiang Huai asked: “What if I come back to school?”

　School leaders: “…”

　This is not welcome.

　Jiang Huai knew the answer from his expression and closed the car window angrily.

　*

　At night, when Lu Wusui returned home, Jiang Huai was nowhere to be seen.

　He tugged at his tie and asked the butler.

　The housekeeper said, “Young Master Jiang has not been in a good mood since he came back. He has been hiding in the house and has not come out.”

　Lu Wusui paused as he was pulling on his tie.

　He put down his slender hands and said calmly: “What is being cooked in the kitchen today?”

　The housekeeper said, “I made some extra desserts today. They are the blueberry tarts that the young master loves. The main dishes are fish maw chicken and stewed pork ribs.”

　After saying that, he suddenly had an idea and shouted to the kitchen, “Aunt Fan, get two trays. Mr. Lu and Young Master Jiang will eat on them today.”

　After finishing, Lu Wusui carried the trays for both of them in one hand and went upstairs.

　He knocked on the door.

　There was no sound from inside the door.

　Lu Wusui frowned and simply pushed the door open – then he saw Jiang Huai who was busy hiding snacks.

　Lu Wusui: “…”

　Is this why you’re in a bad mood?

　Jiang Huai sat on the bed, with a blanket under his butt and some snack residue on his lips. He hugged the quilt to cover himself, which made it more obvious. “I didn’t do anything!”

　Lu Wusui: “…”

　He took one step at a time and placed the tray of rice on the table in front of the sofa. He took a step with his long legs and stretched out his long arms, and easily took out the snacks that Jiang Huai had hidden.

　Lu Wusui gritted his teeth: “Jiang Tiantian.”

　Jiang Huai raised his eyes, looked at him pitifully, shrank back, and said in a frustrated tone: “Okay, I ate snacks in bed, you can deduct my money.”

　Lu Wusui paused.

　After looking carefully, I found that Jiang Huai was actually a little depressed and was indeed in a bad mood.

　In the almost frozen silence, Lu Wusui put down the snacks in his hand.

　He sat in front of Jiang Huai and said in a low and gentle tone, “Are you unhappy?”

　You know, Lu Wusui has only coaxed people a few times in his life.

　Taking action to show his ability is already his limit.

　It’s really a way to coax people, it’s really a bit…

　Jiang Huai pursed his lips and said nothing.

　”Eat. I’ll let you indulge yourself for once today. I’ll eat with you.” Lu Wusui knew that once he was soft-hearted, it would be hard to take it back. “I won’t deduct your money.”

　Although it wasn’t Jiang Huai’s money, it was all his money.

　Be soft-hearted if you want.

　Jiang Huai’s eyes suddenly lit up.

　Lu Wusui personally opened the bag of potato chips for him and fed them into his mouth one by one.

　As Jiang Huai ate, his mood gradually improved.

　Seeing his beaming smile, Lu Wusui gradually heaved a sigh of relief.

　He never knew what it felt like to have his heart tied to someone.

　Seeing him depressed, my heart was twisted with him, and I wished I could take his place. When he was happy, the feeling of being twisted in my heart gradually dissipated, and I could breathe again.

　When Lu Wusui was distracted, his hand was suddenly pushed.

　When he came back to his senses, he saw Jiang Huai saying to him, “You eat too.”

　Lu Wusui was stunned, his eyes fixed on his lips.

　Jiang Huai didn’t understand.

　Lu Wusui said: “Jiang Tiantian.”

　When Jiang Huai heard him calling this name, he subconsciously raised his head and happened to bump into Lu Wusui’s lips.

　The hot lips brushed against his eyes and landed on the tip of his nose.

　Jiang Huai was stunned.

　Lu Wusui moved his lips stiffly and had difficulty breathing.

　Did you kiss?

　It seems like they kissed?

　Why doesn’t it feel like lips? Why didn’t Jiang Huai react?

　Lu Wu Sui said stiffly: “There are broken potato chips on your mouth, I wiped it for you…”

　”Oh,” Jiang Huai also shrank back, bewilderedly saying, “but that was the nose just now.”

　Lu Wusui: “…”

　He said it didn’t look like lips.

　”Well, why do you use your lips to wipe it?” Jiang Huai was still a little confused, “Wouldn’t it be better to use your hands?”

　Lu Wusui blinked, and his ears turned a little red amid Jiang Huai’s various questions.

　Jiang Huai asked again: “Where is the slag? Why can’t I touch it?”

　Lu Wusui couldn’t bear it any longer, so he took out a piece of potato chips and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

　”Shut up and eat your snack.”

　*

　Jiang Huai is completely free now.

　However, I am not completely idle.

　To some extent, he doesn’t like others breaking his rules, but after the rules are broken, he is a person who goes with the flow and doesn’t worry too much about things in the outside world.

　No matter what the situation is, he can find a comfortable way of life.

　Now that the rules have been broken, re-establish them.

　For example, now.

　The next day after he had some free time, he started taking orders and making money.

　For every order he takes, he can take ten orders as long as others do, but he just doesn’t want to paint according to other people’s wishes, so he rarely takes them.

　Actually, there is nothing wrong with taking some time off.

　Jiang Huai doesn’t like the fast-paced life. Rather than running around, he prefers to enjoy the breeze in the fields in the countryside.

　For the sake of his studies and to learn better painting skills in school, he attended every class.

　Since I can’t go to school now anyway, there’s nothing wrong in just calming down and enjoying life.

　Jiang Huai made another discovery while painting.

　The painting he had given to Lu Wusui earlier had already been hooked by Lu Wusui, and was probably ready to be hung on the wall.

　No way?

　Jiang Huai is not a person who does not know what is good. On the contrary, he is very knowledgeable and has a natural intuition about art.

　Otherwise, he wouldn’t have picked up the most expensive vase and smashed it on the first day he moved in.

　So, he knew how expensive the paintings hanging on the Lu family’s walls were.

　Now, Lu Wusui actually planned to hang up his paintings as well!

　Jiang Huai didn’t feel that he was unworthy, but he felt that being on the same wall with so many masters gave him a bit of the excitement of standing on the podium.

　For the past two days, he has been wondering which wall Lu Wusui will hang his paintings on.

　Is it the wall painted by abstract painters from the last century?

　Or the wall of emerging painters who have won awards in the new century?

　Jiang Huai was looking forward to it and couldn’t even wait to ask Lu Wusui.

　A day later, the workers finally arrived.

　Jiang Huai had a wooden face as he watched them move the painting onto the blank wall of the bedroom and began to indicate its location.

　…I guessed all wrong.

　It is a blank wall in the new century.

　*

　After Lu Wusui came back from get off work, he looked at the wall in the bedroom and felt a little distressed.

　He didn’t care how much the wall cost, but he was not used to hanging decorations in his bedroom.

　The paintings and his wall were both very expensive. The wall was even more damaged and could not be restored to its original state even if it was repaired.

　However, all these heartaches were eventually washed away by satisfaction.

　Next time I open my eyes in the morning, I will be able to see this painting.

　Jiang Huai asked: “Why are you hanging here?”

　Could it be that Lu Wusui felt that his strength was not enough to be compared with those masters, so he specially found a blank wall for him?

　Lu Wusui froze.

　Previously, he thought that Jiang Huai’s paintings should not be hung together with those of the masters, let alone in the bedroom.

　As a result, this painting has surpassed all masters and directly come to the center.

　He was also a little embarrassed.

　So he cleared his throat and said, “If you want to hang up, just hang up. Why do you have to ask so many questions?”

　Jiang Huai nodded, not quite understanding.

　Lu Wusui turned his head and avoided his sight.

　…It’s a gift to him anyway, right?

　He can hang up however he wants.

　*

　The next day, the weather was fine, so Jiang Huai went to the balcony to paint.

　Unexpectedly, while he was painting, Tang Pingjian, who had not left his bedroom for many days, finally came out to get some fresh air.

　It was Jiang Huai who took the initiative to talk to him that day, but now he is painting.

　So, even when Tang Pingjian walked up to him, he had no intention of speaking.

　Tang Pingjian watched for a while and suddenly said, “It’s incredible. My son has found an artist.”

　The person guarding him said, “Behave yourself.”

　Tang Pingjian closed his mouth in dismay.

　When he stood next to Jiang Huai, he smelled strongly of alcohol.

　It seems that although the old lady hired someone to watch over him, she actually didn’t care much about it.

　After all, he is not his biological son, but just a son-in-law.

　Jiang Huai finished the last stroke and then he saw Tang Pingjian and was shocked.

　Tang Pingjian found it interesting and imitated his startled movements and exclaimed, “I’ve been here for such a long time, and you just saw me?”

　Jiang Huai: “…”

　Before, I thought he had nothing in common with Lu Wusui.

　Here it comes.

　Jiang Huai asked: “Why do you stink?”

　Tang Pingjian asked, “How old are you, kid? How come you don’t even know the smell of alcohol?”

　Jiang Huai said: “Of course I know it’s the smell of alcohol, but you smell even worse than alcohol.”

　Tang Pingjian was confused now. He lifted up his clothes, smelled them and said, “Really? This is my cleanest piece of clothing. I just washed it half a year ago.”

　Jiang Huai: “…”

　He silently moved a little further away from Tang Pingjian.

　Seeing this, Tang Pingjian wanted to move closer, but was held back by the bodyguard next to him. After being warned again, he gave up.

　The two people are of different ages and statures, one standing and the other sitting, but they look particularly harmonious.

　For the rest of the time, none of them spoke to each other.

　After Jiang Huai finished the painting, he looked at the flowers he was raising. He had recently fallen in love with a new variety, but this variety was particularly difficult to grow.

　Not only does it require timely watering and sunlight, but if the sun does not come out for a long time, it will start to rot from the roots.

　Jiang Huai took careful care of it for a long time before it grew two or three small flower buds.

　Tang Pingjian was quite interested. When he saw Jiang Huai watering the flowers, he took the initiative to approach and asked, “You are quite good at living.”

　As long as it is a compliment, Jiang Huai will accept it and feel happy about it.

　He pursed his lips and smiled modestly, “It’s okay.”

　Tang Pingjian was silent for a moment before he said, “Little friend, can I ask you a question?”

　Since Tang Pingjian did not do anything to hurt Jiang Huai, and he remained quiet after going up to the balcony.

　Jiang Huai said: “Okay, ask.”

　”How did you and Lu Wusui know each other?” Tang Pingjian hesitated for a while before he squeezed out these words.

　Jiang Huai said: “At the banquet.”

　”Not bad, a romantic opening,” Tang Pingjian said flatteringly, “How did they fall in love with each other?”

　Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, and said: “Well, we… don’t like each other.”

　Tang Pingjian recalled the way Lu Wusui looked at Jiang Huai during the meal.

　He didn’t believe it: “Lying will make your nose grow longer.”

　Jiang Huai also heard this story and believed it without a doubt. He touched his nose and said affirmatively, “I didn’t lie.”

　Tang Pingjian made two “tsk” sounds.

　He changed the question, “During the time you and Lu Wusou lived together, how did he live…”

　How are you doing?

　Facing Jiang Huai’s sincere eyes, he couldn’t utter the rest of the words.

　Tang Pingjian sighed and waved his hand, “I have finished asking all the questions I wanted to ask.”

　Jiang Huai blinked, unable to guess what he meant, and looked at the bodyguard for help.

　The bodyguards were only responsible for looking after Tang Pingjian, and they pretended not to see anything else.

　Perhaps seeing his confusion, Tang Pingjian took the initiative to change the subject, “Speaking of which, you are not as rough as most men, you are like a little girl.”

　Jiang Huai looked at him in even greater shock.

　After a while, he said unconvincedly, “You are lying.”

　He doesn’t act like a little girl!

　Tang Pingjian: “Why would I lie to you about this?”

　After he said this, Jiang Huai’s eyes immediately turned red.

　He looked at Tang Pingjian with a pursed mouth. After a moment, he turned his back and ignored him.

　Tang Pingjian: “…”

　What he wanted to say was, Jiang Huai had already married his son, so what was the point of being a man or not? Aren’t homosexuals all effeminate?

　Jiang Huai is considered good, but his behavior is a bit too polite.

　But there were bodyguards watching closely, and Tang Pingjian was afraid they would throw him off the balcony, so he said bitterly, “I didn’t provoke him.”

　The bodyguards watch the nose with their eyes and the heart with their noses.

　Tang Pingjian: …unjust.

　*

　When Lu Wusui came back in the evening, the first thing he saw was Jiang Huai, who had painted his face black.

　Then there was Tang Pingjian, who stood aside and looked at Jiang Huai from time to time.

　Lu Wusui: “…”

　He asked, “What shape is this?”

　Jiang Huai wiped the stuff off his face but missed it. Lu Wusui reached out and helped him wipe it off bit by bit.

　After wiping it clean, I realized that Jiang Huai’s eyes were still red.

　Lu Wusui frowned slowly, and glanced at Tang Pingjian beside him.

　His eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze people to death.

　After wiping off the remaining black paint on Jiang Huai’s chin, Lu Wusui straightened up and walked straight towards Tang Pingjian.

　Then, without saying anything, he grabbed Tang Pingjian’s collar, his eyes were like knives, and his tone was cold, “What did you do?”

　Tang Pingjian, who had cried out for injustice in front of his bodyguard, became silent at this time.

　Damn it, he didn’t do anything.
