Chapter 9 The so-called loyalty

What Zhong Lei said is indeed good news, although Zhong Bai's has been sick recently, she is still a shrewd businessman, and the business Zhong Lei said is indeed very attractive to Zhong Bai's, "Lei'er, how much do you need?" "Three thousand oceans." Zhong Lei replied simply, and his eyes were already getting more and more excited. "So many ......" was excited than Zhong Lei, and Zhong Mu was a little more worried. The more capital, the greater the profit! Zhong Lei was a little excited, as if he couldn't wait to take over this big business soon.

Zhong Yu listened to the situation as it was, and didn't want to express any opinions, but seeing Zhong Lei become more and more excited, he couldn't help but put down the medicine bowl in his hand after thinking about it, "Big brother, this will take a big risk." Zhong Baishi agreed with Zhong Yude's point of view, "Lei'er, Mom thinks what Ah Yu said is right, or you should think about it again." ”

Zhong Lei sneered, picked up the medicine bowl on the bedside table and handed it back to Zhong Yu's hand, "Ah Yu, you have to dare to take risks when doing business." Then again, where are the risks? However, you can't blame you, you have never been in contact with the family's business, you have always been a conscientious and conscientious care of your mother, and it is also appropriate that you don't understand the market. As he spoke, Zhong Lei looked at Zhong Bai again, "Mom, now I want you to say a word." Three thousand oceans, to give or not to give. Zhong Baishi looked at Zhong Lei with a resolute attitude, and after all, he couldn't resist him, so he waved his hand helplessly, "Go to the account room and get it." ”

Zhong Lei couldn't hold back his joy when he heard Zhong Mu's words, and ran away before he had time to say anything. Zhong Lei ran to the door, one foot had already stepped out of the threshold, and suddenly thought that he seemed to be too eager to ignore Zhong Bai's feelings, he slowly turned around, looked at Zhong Bai, and thought of returning to her to say some comforting words. However, when Zhong Lei saw Zhong Yu feeding medicine into Zhong Bai's mouth spoonful by spoonful, and Zhong Bai's face was always smiling, Zhong Lei quickly turned around and strode away, without the slightest nostalgia......

"Young Master, you look for me." Ah Feng was so nervous that he stepped into Zhong Leide's room and saw Zhong Lei fiddling with the cigarette roll in his hand. Zhong Lei saw Ah Feng come in, and looked at her casually, "You also saw it just now, that kid now wants to get involved in my business, so he is about to ride on my head." I can't wait for a moment, I'll give you three more days at most, it's best to do what you have to do tonight, if I get impatient to wait, Ah Xiangke will ......" "No need to say more......" Ah Feng interrupted Zhong Lei's words, lowered his head and promised, "I will do what you want." After speaking, for the first time, Ah Feng no longer looked at Zhong Lei's face with trembling like a subordinate, but left without looking back. Zhong Lei looked at Ah Feng's back with satisfaction, and he clenched the cigarette roll in his hand.

The meal was ready, but Zhong Yu was the only one who dined. Zhong Bai has mostly eaten in his room since he was not in good health, and Zhong Lei often socializes and rarely goes home to eat, so it is not uncommon for Zhong Yu to eat alone. Zhong Yu's dinner is not as complicated as when Zhong Lei wants to eat together at home, a simple meal is a meal, he doesn't want to trouble the people in the kitchen, and he doesn't want to be extravagant and wasteful, plus he is kind and kind, every time the person who serves the food sees Zhong Yu sitting at the table alone, he will feel distressed.

Dinner was as usual, simple dishes, but this time Zhong Yu was not as quick as usual, and he had already eaten more than half of the meal. Zhong Yu only ate a few bites, put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Ah Feng, "Ah Feng, sit down and eat together." Ah Feng seemed thoughtful, standing to the side stupidly, and there was no reaction. Seeing that Ah Feng didn't react, Zhong Yu shook his hand in front of Ah Feng's eyes, "Ah Feng, what do you want?" Don't stand, let's eat together. Ah Feng was stunned for a moment, and came back to his senses, "Oh, it's okay." It's better for the second young master to eat it himself. "Mom is asleep, and my eldest brother is busy with Siamese and socializing, so it's not interesting to eat alone. You always take care of me to eat first, let's eat together this time. Zhong Yu got up and pushed the chair next to him in the direction of Ah Feng, "Sit down and eat." ”

Ah Feng watched Zhong Yu push the chair in front of him and took a few steps back, "It's better for the second young master to eat by himself." I, I don't have an appetite. What's more......" Ah Feng's eyes were full of thoughts, and he lowered his head with a faint sadness, "I, how can I eat with you." After listening to Ah Feng's words, Zhong Yu lowered his hand holding the chair with some disappointment, "In this way, then I will also go to the study to read a book for a while." In a moment, bring me a cup of tea. ”

Ah Feng was stunned, his expression looked gradually flustered, and he was a little helpless in the panic, and his sadness became even stronger, "You, do you want to drink tea?" "yes, go make me a pot." After that, Zhong Yu left.

Ah Feng watched Zhong Yu go out, picked up the teapot on the table, and stared at the pot until tears fell on the lid. She wiped away her tears and opened the lid. Ah Feng stared at the tea in the teapot and bit her lip tightly, until she saw that Ah Xiang was kneeling on the ground to beat Zhong Lei's leg in the tea, and then took out the small bottle that Zhong Lei handed over to her from her pocket, but at this moment, she saw Zhong Yu squatting down and picking up the broken medicine bowl porcelain in the corridor with her. Ah Feng's palm holding the bottle was already trembling......

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry......" The words fell, tears fell, and Ah Feng slowly raised the arm holding the bottle......

When Ah Feng walked into the study with tea, Zhong Yu was concentrating on calligraphy. Ah Feng didn't want to disturb Zhong Yu and slowed down, but Zhong Yu seemed to have calculated the time when she would come, and suddenly stopped his pen and looked at her, with a gentle smile on his face.

Ah Feng didn't dare to look at Zhong Yu with a smiling face, lowered his head slightly, and handed over the tea, "Second young master...... Your tea. Zhong Yu took the tea, the smile on his face paused, and when he raised the teacup, Zhong Yu looked at Ah Feng for a moment, and returned to his previous smile, "Thank you." With that, Zhong Yu put the teacup close to his mouth. Wait, Second Young Master! Ah Feng quickly held Zhong Yu's hand holding the teacup, and let go of his hand timidly...... For the first time, bravely, she took the initiative to look directly into Zhong Yu's eyes, "Second Young Master......" Ah Feng still avoided looking at Zhong Yu, even if she had the courage to look directly into his eyes, she still didn't dare to look at him like this, "Do you believe me?" "For the first time, Ah Feng bravely stopped calling Zhong Yu the second young master. Zhong Yu was stunned for a moment, he stared at Ah Feng's eyes, his pupils reflected Ah Feng's bewildered face, and he suddenly smiled again, "Of course I believe it." You're Ah Feng, of course I believe it. ”

Ah Feng's hand trembled, trying his best to make himself look at Zhong Lei's gaze less sad and humble, "You believe me...... You seem to have a deep belief in anyone, and have you ever thought that your conviction will hurt you one day without warning? What if I poisoned my tea? "Really?" Zhong Yu watched Ah Feng gradually put away his smile, his eyes became more and more serious, more and more firm, and he never moved at all, and asked rhetorically: "Then you, why do you want to hurt me." Why, you're going to hurt me. Originally, it was supposed to be something questioning, but it was extremely gentle and peaceful that could come out of Zhong Yu's mouth. After that, Zhong Yu's face appeared with a smile again, "I haven't thought about it, and if I am convinced, there is nothing to think about." But I'm very happy, Ah Feng, who has always been cautious, will finally joke too......" "I'm not joking! Ah Feng interrupted Zhong Yu's words, tears welled up in an instant, and he wanted to speak, but he stopped......

Zhong Yu didn't say anything, just looked at Ah Feng quietly. After a long time, Zhong Yu lowered his head and looked at the teacup in his hand, then looked at Ah Feng again, "Ah Feng, don't cry, don't feel embarrassed." Actually, it's not that hard...... Remember when I said that we are equal, right? I will definitely help you when you are in trouble. Now, when you need help the most, a cup of tea can help you, and I'm happy. When I was a child, although we didn't see each other much, I remember that you were originally cheerful and laughing, and I don't know how you became what you are now, you don't like to laugh, and you don't dare to laugh...... In the future, try to change back to the way you were, so that I think it will be more worthwhile. ”

Zhong Yu said, holding the teacup tighter, "I originally wanted to go to the eldest brother to talk about buying out Siam, but I'm sorry, I shouldn't have heard your conversation." Now I just want to know...... I just want to know ......" Zhong Yu's eyes also welled up with tears at some point, the concentration in his eyes did not change because his vision was blurred, he took a step forward and got closer to Ah Feng, "Ah Feng, I want to know, if I die...... Do you think of me once in a while? ”

"No, it won't." Ah Feng replied simply, and the originally evasive gaze became resolute with her answer, "I will die with you." I...... I have always been loyal, and when the master is gone, I naturally want to accompany me. Ah Feng's resolute eyes gradually changed back to the original dodge as the words fell. Well. Zhong Yu replied and nodded contentedly, "Thank you for your loyalty." "I'm also, thank you Second Young Master for your compliment." Ah Feng smiled shallowly, and the tears slowly dried up in the pear vortex of the light smile, with some bitterness and sarcasm, "The word 'loyalty', although I don't recognize it, I know it." I have always been a loyal subordinate, and I can be an accessory to my master when I am alive, and I can be a funeral object for my master when I die. I can do anything, I can do it, this should be regarded as a loyal subordinate. ”

"You're wrong, Ah Feng." Zhong Yu shook his head with a light smile, "The question I asked you has nothing to do with loyalty. I ask you, only you, because we are the same people. Don't think there's anything wrong with me saying that, you and I have always been the same people. We are all living with the same caution, and the way I look at you when I look at my eldest brother is the same as when I look at my own...... I am not the eldest son, I know what position I should be, and I also know that I am destined to be the one who is not favored, rather than testing the truth of people's hearts one by one, it is better for me to live cautiously...... Ah Feng, you don't want to test why I ask you such a question, so choose the answer you think is the most likely...... Your willingness to accompany me has nothing to do with so-called loyalty. You know very well in your heart that my questions, your answers, have nothing to do with them. ”
