Fu Huazheng's eyes at that moment were like the clouds I had seen. The color of Mount Tai under the top of the rain, the hazy deep sky gradually turned into two clouds of inky black.

He said, "Liu Zijun, do you know? When I first met you, every time I came back from the West End Library, I always liked to talk to you about my brother. I just met you at that time and wanted to talk to you about many, many topics.

Later, I felt that I was really stupid at that time, in front of a girl, praising another man, it was like a matchmaker.

By the day your tonsils became inflamed, I hadn't thought too much about knowing that you two had known each other in the old days. On Chinese New Year's Eve, I followed Hua Ming to the hotel to see you, I was very angry, but in the end I didn't say anything to my brother.

But when I saw the always steady Fu Huaming, the gray face that day, I vowed never to talk to you about my brother again... Having said that, but, I, Fu Huazheng, am not that kind of stingy boy-"

The young man who was so bright seemed to be soaked in a lot of undeserved grievances in his voice. I looked down guiltily at the grains of rice curled up quietly on the plate.

He curled his voice and chuckled, "It doesn't hurt to tell you. Like you, my brother and he suddenly couldn't be contacted in mid-August. In those days, my grandfather and uncle called the mansion one after another.

Later, I heard the uncle say: Fu Huaming disappeared for some reason and caused a lot of trouble. So much so that on the days of the National Day, the grandfather and the elders of the clan gathered in the house in Beijing and scolded the eldest brother one by one. Fortunately, the grandfather who didn't ask about the world protected Huaming. However, Hua Ming has to be busy in Beijing for a long time, mending the cracks between several families, and only then can he have the so-called freedom. He should be expending a lot of energy in the next period of time. However, our Fu family is not a vain shelf with an empty reputation. Besides, he is Fu Huaming, and he always has some means and ways, and the things in front of him are nothing to him..."

I was stunned for a moment, I couldn't believe my ears.

That day, in the corner of the restaurant, my palms gripped the edge of the plate. All I had in mind were the scenes of the majestic clan elders standing above the hall and the stubborn clan grandchildren kneeling in front of the hall to be punished.

Shouldn't this just happen on TV or in movies?

I eagerly pressed him back, "Isn't this already the 21st century?" How can there still be those old rules and etiquette? Are you, your grandfather, so strict with your brother and you? Isn't that unkind? Don't you all have freedom in life..."

Hua Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, "The big family has a set of inheritance methods for the big family, otherwise how can the family last for a long time?" I don't know the details of our family. Before I graduated, I didn't want to participate or get to know about it. This generation is my brother's top business, I am still in school, they generally don't think of me, but Hua Ming is different. He had abandoned his studies for a few years, so six years ago, when he returned to the family, the first thing his grandfather did was to send him to the United States to forge - for the sake of the family. Now, he is at ease, and everyone is quite at ease with him, but a certain decision or move of his will affect the rise and fall of the entire Fu family. ”

I sat there dumbfounded, my eyes following his voice, as if I had fallen into a gray mist.

He shook his palm in front of my eyes, "Zijun, are you listening?" I want to tell you why I want to tell you this, I just want to tell you that if you want to find my brother, it is better to go directly to this big living person in front of you. My brother can do it, and I'm no worse than him..."

Kankan retracted his expression, I put down my chopsticks and asked, "Hua Zheng, you, do you have your brother's phone number?" I thought—"

He interrupted me.

He said: "I just said that I am not a stingy person, and now I take it back. I decided, I don't plan to tell you his phone number. You can't beg me, if you want to find Fu Huaming, you can find it yourself..."

I touched my chopsticks in frustration, lowered my head, and casually poked at the unseemly chicken leg that I had ruined a long time ago.

He laughed angrily, stretched out his chopsticks to my dinner plate, helped me remove the chicken leg bones, and said:

"Last winter, I said in front of your dorm building that maybe one day everyone will change their minds, and you will suddenly fall in love with me, or I will suddenly stop liking you and just treat you as a friend. Therefore, I won't force you to do anything, I just need you to give me the same opportunity as my eldest brother, at least at this moment, when you invite me to dinner, don't always ask my eldest brother. I'm glad I'm still on this campus, and no matter what you do, I'm close to you and I can take advantage of it. Zijun, slowly, you will feel that I am far better to you than Hua Ming is to you. You, it's better to be realistic so as not to get hurt, Fu Huaming, how can he take care of you as a busy man..."

I bit my lip, and some words tried to break out, but I still got stuck in my throat.

At that moment, in fact, I wanted to tell him that Hua Ming and I were very close: we had hugged, kissed, and shared the same bed...

So, let's be good friends in this life...

It was supposed to be a meal for which I was going to be grateful to him, and I didn't want to end up upsetting him. That day, I still didn't open my mouth to say those words again.

During that time, I mentally felt a lot of guilt about that friendship, and gradually became a little depressed, and when I was not in class, even if I was holding a book, I was sitting there alone in a daze, and my mind was stuck in the quagmire and I couldn't break free.

However, by November, I had suddenly climbed out and was in much better spirits.

Because, the dragon card of Luoyang Construction Bank that I newly opened received the national scholarship plus a bonus of 13,000 yuan in the mathematical modeling competition as scheduled.

That night, I took out my pen and made a special calculation for my future: in the May Sports Day, the college helped me waive the tuition fee for my sophomore year; plus the tutoring fee given by Wanwan's parents last semester; There is also a balance of the 2,000 yuan that Hua Ming borrowed from me last year.

Suddenly, I had a huge sum of nearly 18,000 yuan.

The next day, I found an ATM and deposited all the money I could make up for hundreds of dollars in the thin green card of the CCB.

That little card filled my heart that had not been settled for so many years. At that time, my heart was steady. That money, like a towering Mount Tai behind me, is so heavy and majestic.

As a rough calculation, I don't have to worry about all the expenses of my junior and senior years, I just need to study harder, earn credits, and complete my academic requirements as soon as possible.

In my life, I just need to hurry up and hurry up, only in this way can I not lose in any journey, and I can reach my goal as soon as possible, the excellent Fu family child, and the person I like.
