Chapter 1 Sweep the floor
Four hundred years later.
Lu Yingyi turned up the volume of the TV and went into the kitchen to watch his soup simmer over a small fire.
There is a white costume drama on TV, the heroine holds a human dart and a silver dart, and meets a green forest hero halfway, a large group of dart masters are not useful, and they are knocked to the ground in three or two strokes. The dart car overturned, and the things on it were also spilled on the ground, and the male protagonist happened to step on the dart box and appeared in a dashing manner, and two or three swords saved the heroine, and then stared at each other affectionately. Lu Ying took the time to glance at the screen and shook his head slightly.
The oven behind him made a "ding" sound, announcing that the cake was baked. Lu Yingyi was dipping the soy sauce of the white chopped chicken, hurriedly put down the dish and went to open the oven, and almost reached in to get it, but fortunately came back in time, retracted his hand "ho", and put on the thick gloves on the side. The cake is fluffy and sweet in a high-end oven, covered with cream, drizzled with wine sugar, sprinkled with chocolate chips, poured with eight cream flowers, each with a tender cherry, and a good-looking Black Forest cake is ready.
Lu Yingyi turned off the fire of the simmering soup, let the soup simmer in the casserole, and took the cake out. On one side of the luxurious living room, there is a dining table, on which a pair of candles, a pair of red wine glasses, and a table of Chinese and Western dishes are placed. Lu Yingyi put the cake in the center, carefully inserted the "Happy Birthday" sign, and then glanced at the clock. At 19:34, it had been an hour since Qin Weifeng got off work, and if there was no accident, he should be almost home at this time.
Lu Yingyi turned off the TV, took off the apron on his body, folded it and put it aside. After 20 o'clock, Lu Ying went to the window to open a picture, and the high-end street lamps in Yunshui Community emitted a soft halo, enveloping the rows of exquisite villas below, and the driveway was silent, and even a figure was missing. At 20:35, Lu Yingyi put the soup back on the stove and heated it, the dishes were already cold, and the Black Forest was softly spread on the table, like a hot fat man's face. At 21 o'clock, Lu Yingyi put the cake in the refrigerator, turned on the TV again, and went to the pantry to find a jar of instant noodles for himself to eat.
Lu Yingyi's mobile phone was placed on the table, except for the mobile phone news, it was not lit up once tonight. He picked up his phone while eating instant noodles, put his fingers on the shortcut keys and thought about it, but still let go. At 21:55, the sound of a car engine finally came from the driveway, Lu Ying quickly stood up, rearranged the hot dishes, put the cake on the table, poured the red wine, took out the gifts that had been prepared a long time ago, and then ran to the window to look.
Qin Weifeng's Porsche stopped not far from his home, did not turn off the engine, but no one came down. Lu Ying watched quietly, and it took about ten minutes before someone came out of the back seat of the car. Qin Weifeng was obviously drunk, and he was staggering when he walked. He gestured to the driver in the front seat, and the rear window of the Bentley rolled down, revealing the face of a young boy.
Qin Weifeng smiled. Lu Yingyi hadn't seen him smile like that for a long time, he smiled softly and movingly, he said something to the young man, and then leaned over and kissed the mouth. Lu Yingyi withdrew his gaze and slowly walked back to the living room. After more than ten minutes, the sound of the door opening sounded, Lu Ying opened a hand-pulled cannon, accompanied by a "bang", he happily shouted: "Happy birthday!" The colored paper was colorful and fell, blurring Qin Weifeng's face but unable to stop his anger.
"You're sick!" Qin Weifeng's voice is good, and even when he is angry, he has a unique appreciation value. Lu Yingyi stood quietly, listening to Qin Weifeng scolding him for doing something so decent, why don't you do something meaningful when you have this little time, except for eating and sleeping all day long, you don't know how to go out at home, it's a shame to take it out!
Qin Weifeng seemed to have an eight-life enmity with Lu Yingyi, and scolded him for half an hour "crackling", and then went upstairs angrily, without looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table from beginning to end. Lu Yingyi obediently lowered his head to listen to the training, until he heard the "bang" of the upstairs door, and then raised his head.
The villa is very large, everywhere is magnificent, crystal chandeliers, European-style furniture, and there is a photo of an internationally renowned photographer taking a photo of Qin Weifeng and Lu Yingyi on the wall, at that time Lu Yingyi was only in his early twenties, dressed rusticly, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, his expression was restrained and shy, like a dirt bun, at that time Qin Weifeng said to him affectionately: "Xiaoyi, I just like your simplicity and simplicity, I really love you, from now on, my home is your home, I will protect you for a lifetime!" Qin Weifeng didn't break his promise, and this sentence has been said for almost seven years now-in a while, it will be their seventh anniversary.
Seven years is not long, but seven years is not short. Lu Ying looked at the TV screen, today's part was about to end, the heroine grabbed the hero's hand and said: "I decided, Brother Huo, from now on I will follow you, waves, traces, heavens, and ends!"
At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Lu Yingyi opened his eyes in the dark. Qin Weifeng lay beside him and slept soundly. In the past, I always felt that this double bed was too small, and I had to hook my hands and feet to sleep, and it was not enough to hold it tightly, but now there is a wide gap between the two, like a chasm. Lu Ying exhaled slightly, and then sat up quietly.
Qin Weifeng would definitely be surprised if he was awake, because Lu Yingyi's movements were so light and swift, and they didn't cause movement. He was like a cat in the night, or a shadow, coming and going in and out of the room.
Lu Yingyi went down to the storage room first, turned out a dusty linen backpack in a mess of miscellaneous items, reached in and touched it, and then showed a slight smile on his face. Fortunately, Qin Weifeng still had love for him at that time, and although he hated him, he did not discard these belongings. Lu Yingyi took out a small drawstring pocket from his backpack, took out a flat box from it, and then took the box into Qin Weifeng's study and turned on the computer. Qin Weifeng's computer codebook is Lu Yingyi's birthday on June 18, but now it is incorrect, Lu Yingyi thought for a moment, and his fingers moved quickly on the keyboard. He didn't turn on the lights, only the light of the computer screen reflected on his face, although he was no longer the young man with the jade face of the past, but this did not prevent him from looking particularly mysterious and stunning in the faint light - only no one was watching at this time.
Lu Yingyi's fingers were like ten flying butterflies, flying lightly on the computer keyboard, and after a while, he went around the core area, he took out the cards in the box, inserted them into the card slot and clicked the command to crack the copy, and the computer showed the progress, which took 17 minutes. He pushed the chair away and went back to the bedroom cloakroom to get his clothes. Qin Weifeng, who is in his twenties, is used to seeing all kinds of beautiful young people with strong heads or soft and sticky, so he is quite curious and likes him at that time, and he always dresses him up in a different way after being with him. At this time, Lu Yingyi deliberately avoided these expensive clothes when picking out clothes, only loaded the clothes he had brought in the past, and took a few hard-wearing and easy-to-move coats and T-shirts and stuffed them into his backpack.
Suddenly, Lu Yingyi's movements paused slightly, although the voice was slight, he still heard the movement outside, and soon after flashing out of the cloakroom, he saw Qin Weifeng sitting up from the bed, about to go to the toilet. Seeing Lu Yingyi, Qin Weifeng's movements stopped, and he asked suspiciously, "Why don't you sleep yet?"
Lu Yingyi said softly: "I'm a little thirsty, get up and drink saliva." β
Qin Weifeng stopped ringing, he went to the toilet and put a soak of urine, and when he came back, he saw that Lu Yingyi was still standing. The night light of the toilet cast a yellowish halo, shrouding him in semi-light and half darkness, Qin Weifeng suddenly had a very strange feeling, he felt that there seemed to be something different about Lu Yingyi, and this difference had a faint familiarity that he had not seen for a long time, as if he had seen Lu Yingyi like this a long time ago. Qin Weifeng had already made up his mind that he was going to have a showdown with Lu Ying soon, but at this moment, he wonderfully regretted it.
"Just ...... I'm sorry. He said with difficulty, because he also knew that he was purely vexatious, so his tone was extraordinarily vain, "Wait for this weekend, I'll go out with you, we haven't been out together for a long time." β
Lu Ying smiled and said, "Qin Weifeng, you go to sleep first." β
Qin Weifeng felt that Lu Yingyi's answer seemed a little strange, but he couldn't think of what was strange. He was already drunk and dizzy, not to mention that in his cognition, Lu Ying had no father, no mother, no relatives, and even no friends after following him, so he categorically had no other support-he was so sure that Lu Ying had nowhere to go except by his side.
Lu Yingyi said again: "Sleep, wake up, tomorrow will be fine." β
When Qin Weifeng heard this, he lay back on the bed as if he was enchanted, and fell asleep after a while, he didn't know that this would be the last words he and Lu Yingyi said as a couple. Lu Yingyi stood quietly in the dark for a while, then picked up his bags and walked out of the bedroom, and before leaving, he took a picture frame from the bedside table.
The number jΓΉ has been copied, Lu Ying took the card and turned it off, and walked downstairs. In the wee hours of the morning, the whole villa seemed to be shrouded in a shadowy shadow, and those rich ornaments and valuable furniture seemed to hide some unspeakable obscurity at this time, revealing the emptiness and evasion. Lu Ying took out his wallet, took out the auxiliary cards that Qin Weifeng used to give him one by one, put them on the table, did a little calculation, and then counted a stack of cash from the latter's wallet, tied them with rubber bands and threw them into the backpack, and then walked to the door. Before going out, Lu Yingyi opened the main control board of the monitoring system of the whole villa, and the back of the door panel was full of colors, and the circuit and control equipment were running, and his hand had been stretched out, but in the end he took it back.
Never mind!
As soon as Lu Ying opened the door, although it was spring, the air in the early morning was still a little chilly. Lu Yingyi threw his half-deflated backpack behind his back and stepped out of the door.
At four o'clock in the morning, when people are most sleepy, Xiao Li, the security guard in charge of the night shift, yawned a lot, and his boss Lao Liu went to the toilet to get a tuba, so he stared at the video surveillance. Xiao Li's mouth was about to open to the maximum when it suddenly closed suddenly, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, startling him a lot.
"It's me. Lu Ying raised his head and smiled at Xiao Li.
"Ouch, Mr. Lu, it's you, you're scared to death!" Xiao Li patted his chest, Boss Qin at No. 183 had a man in his family, and they knew that they had just joined the company, although Lu Yingyi didn't go out much on weekdays, he had met him a few times.
Lu Yingyi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I scared you." β
Xiao Li glanced at Lu Ying and said, "Mr. Lu, is this going on a trip?"
Lu Ying said "um": "Go out on a long trip." β
Xiao Li said, "Why didn't you see Boss Qin?"
Lu Yingyi said: "He is busy with work, so he won't go." β
Xiao Li said "oh" and said, "Then I wish you a smooth journey and have fun!"
"Thank you. Lu Ying nodded at Xiao Li. He turned around and looked again, the sun was about to rise, the sky had changed to a translucent gray-blue, and the chirping of morning birds injected infinite life into the air. Lu Ying lowered his head and smiled, and he said, "Goodbye." In the morning light, he resolutely walked out of the place where he had lived for seven years.
Lao Liu came out of the toilet and asked while washing his hands, "Who did you talk to just now?"
"Mr. Lu at No. 183. Xiao Li sighed, "Alas, rich people are good, they say that they will travel, how can they be like us, and they can't even invite them to a weekend." β
Lao Liu frowned: "Entrusted by people, loyal to people, we are security guards, how can we ask for leave casually." As he spoke, he wiped his hands and flipped back through the surveillance records, fearing that this frizzy young man would miss a little bit and cause a big disaster. After a while, Lao Liu's hand suddenly stopped, "You said, Mr. Lu from No. 183 just passed by?"
"yes. β
"You read that right?"
"How could I be mistaken, it's not that I haven't dealt with Mr. Lu, not to mention that he also accosted me!"
Lao Liu's face became more and more strange, and Xiao Li couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"It's not in the surveillance logs. β
"Huh?"
"There were surveillance heads shooting all the way out of No. 183, but there was no footage of Mr. Lu passing by in the video. β
"No!" Xiao Li was stunned, rubbed his arm and said, "Boss, don't scare me, this god is ghostly, could it be that the monitoring equipment is broken?"
Probably there is only one reason, Lao Liu thought, and he will have to make a phone call to ask the manufacturer's maintenance personnel to come over and take a look.
