awakening
It was the end of early September when Yu Shu was discharged from the hospital after recovering from his shoulder injury. When he got off the plane back in Guangzhou, he was almost knocked over by the heat wave.
"This way! This way!"
Fortunately, there was someone to pick us up after we got off the plane.
Yu Shu pushed Jiang Yu and urged him with a low laugh, "Let's go." But he stood there without moving an inch.
Jiang Yu frowned and stopped walking: "What's the matter?"
"I have an appointment with someone and she will be here soon. Didn't you say that we should take a few days off since the holiday is coming soon? You should go back first." Yu Shu waved his hand.
The passing pedestrians were like flowing water, separating them on both sides. Jiang Yu stared at Yu Shu for a long time, took a breath without leaving a trace, and sat in the back seat.
The car drove away at a steady speed. Jiang Yu looked back through the privacy glass. Yu Shu was getting smaller and smaller. It seemed that it was not the car that was moving forward, but Yu Shu who was pushing him back.
The driver caught the boss's strange reaction through the rearview mirror and coughed dryly, "Brother Jiang, fasten your seatbelts. There will be surveillance footage later."
Jiang Yu fastened his seat belt and looked back. Yu Shu had already shrunk to the size of a sesame seed and disappeared in the crowd.
He suddenly realized why he had to drive backwards. After thinking for a long time, he found an excuse for himself: "Yu Shu's shoulder just healed not long ago, so I need to pay more attention to him."
While waiting for someone, Yu Shu used the Apple's front camera as a mirror to adjust his hair and shirt collar, but the wind at the airport was strong and hot, and his hair was messed up again in less than three seconds.
"Hey, why don't you send me a message?"
Zhao Jingyun patted Yu Shu's shoulder from behind and said with a soft smile, "It's you. I wouldn't dare use Apple's front camera as a mirror."
Yes, the person Yu Shu made an appointment with was Zhao Jingyun. To be precise, it was Zhao Jingyun who made an appointment with him.
When he helped Zhao Jingyun take pictures of Wu Yihan, they made an appointment to meet at some time.
Originally, they had set a time when they came back to Guangzhou last time, but Jiang Yu seemed to be looking for something to do during that time. He took on any job, no matter how small, and insisted on taking him everywhere. He could only tell Zhao Jingyun, "I've been busy lately and don't have time for the time being. Let's wait for a while."
It dragged on and on, and almost two months passed before the time finally matched.
Yu Shu smiled and said, "I just got off the plane and wanted to rest for a while before contacting you." He made an excuse for himself.
He planned to go home after getting off the plane, and wait for Zhao Jingyun to get off work before going to have the reserved private dishes together. But on the plane, Zhao Jingyun sent him a message: I'm off today, can I pick you up at the airport?
It's extremely rude to refuse a polite request from a woman, so he agreed. He didn't send a message because it would be impolite for both men and women. It's a favor for someone to take the initiative, but once you say it, whether you're trying to push them or not, you're afraid the person will feel bad.
But Yu Shu didn't expect her to arrive so early.
Yu Shu held the car door handle and made a gesture to invite Zhao Jingyun to get in first. After she sat down, he walked around to the passenger seat on the other side.
The owner of the private restaurant was very happy to see Yu Shu and went out to greet him personally. When he saw that he brought a woman with him, his eyes lit up and he showed an expression of "I understand".
The boss specially arranged for him a luxurious private room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the artificial lake. It was fully equipped and even had a small tea room.
"The reservation for this private restaurant has to be made more than a month in advance, and we just made an appointment a few days ago. It's amazing that you were able to make a reservation so quickly." Zhao Jingyun couldn't hide her surprise and said sincerely.
No man doesn't like to hear compliments, especially from women. Yu Shu is no exception, but he still maintains a calm appearance and smiles lightly, "I know the boss, we're old friends."
Yu Shu looked around the box again and sighed inwardly that the boss was very polite. When making the reservation, he had agreed to treat him as a normal customer. However, the boss was still thinking about the fact that he had cured his father's heart disease, so he changed his mind at the last minute and upgraded the service.
"We didn't order any drinks." Zhao Jingyun didn't order any drinks because she had to drive. She looked at the small wooden barrel in the waiter's hand with confusion.
The waiter placed the small wooden barrel on the table, revealing a burst of rich and mellow grape aroma. "Ms. Zhao, this is the hidden menu item the boss gave to Mr. Yu. It's grape vinegar."
The reason why this private restaurant is expensive but always fully booked is that they add a little homemade grape vinegar to their dishes.
The boss's father lived in Europe and learned the craft of making grape vinegar. He used imported Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and other wine grapes, aged in oak barrels for at least 10 years, and added exclusive yeast that had been stored in the vinegar factory for more than 20 years. The finished product has an extremely rich flavor and complex aroma, which, when combined with other ingredients, can create an unforgettable delicacy.
"Don't worry, his boss said that he took the initiative to ask Mr. Yu to help try this 20-year-old grape vinegar. Because it contains a small amount of alcohol, he has arranged a designated driver." The waiter added.
The boss gave Yu Shu enough face by selling 20-year-old grape vinegar.
Some wealthy businessmen wanted to spend a lot of money to buy their grape vinegar alone, and were reluctant to sell it to Yu Shu, so the boss just gave Yu Shu a small bucket.
Yu Shu handed the cup to Zhao Jingyun in a gentlemanly manner.
The environment was beautiful and there was no one to disturb them, so the two of them talked casually.
"I didn't expect Wu Yihan to be that kind of person. The collapse was so sudden. But thank you so much for helping me take the photo of my tweet!"
"I should apologize to you. His house collapse is related to us sending the little ghost away."
Yu Shu hung up the call.
Zhao Jingyun glanced at the flashing call note.
She said gently and jokingly, "You guys just keep working normally. If he doesn't behave properly, he'll fall sooner or later. If that's the case, then I should apologize for causing this mess at No. 6 Middle School and keeping you busy for quite some time."
The phone rang again after a few minutes of silence, and Yu Shu hung up again.
"You can't take all the blame on yourself. The school director's wife revealed that she was planning to renovate the laboratory building even if that incident hadn't happened. What you created was bound to happen sooner or later. You simply accelerated the incident and made it come to a good conclusion."
This is indeed the case. If we wait until the laboratory building is renovated, more victims will appear.
"By the way, the boy band has a tour in early October, and the second stop is Guangzhou. I can reserve a VIP seat. Do you have..."
Yu Shu was halfway through his words when his cell phone rang again.
He stared at the screen helplessly and cursed Jiang Yu several times in his heart. He told him that he had an appointment at the airport and kept calling him.
Hang up for the third time.
Zhao Jingyun pretended not to notice the frequent calls and continued the topic of the tour: "That's great. I happen to have a holiday in early October. Can we go together? But if you're not interested, just make an appointment for me."
"Then we're thinking alike."
The swaying branches outside the window picked up a ray of sunlight and dropped it on Yu Shu's face. In the blink of an eye, his fluttering eyelashes were dyed with soft rose gold, and his eyes were filled with warm light, like a gem lying quietly at the bottom of a clear and clean lake.
He tilted his head and smiled, his extreme gentleness and good looks almost melted Zhao Jingyun.
However, this beautiful moment did not last long before the ringing of the phone shattered it into pieces.
Three times the limit is enough. This is the fourth time Jiang Yu has called. Maybe it’s really an urgent matter.
Yu Shu smiled awkwardly at Zhao Jingyun: "I'm sorry."
"Answer the phone first. Maybe there's an emergency that's why he called you so many times. I understand." Zhao Jingyun's intellectual smile was generous and tolerant.
Yu Shu quickly walked out of the box and pressed the answer button: "What's the matter? Is there something urgent?"
Jiang Yu on the other end of the phone took a breath and said, "I sprained my ankle."
"You sprained your ankle, ask Liu Xu to take you to the hospital. If that doesn't work, you can find a private doctor. I'm busy with something." Yu Shu didn't understand. Spraining his ankle was no big deal and he didn't want to see a doctor. He had some medicinal wine at home.
"I still feel a little palpitation." Jiang Yu took a slow and heavy breath.
The breathing sound and Jiang Yu's tone when the phone was connected sounded very problematic. The better cardiovascular departments in Yangcheng have to wait in line for a long time at this time.
Thinking of this, Yu Shu frowned, took a breath and said, "Okay, wait for me to go back."
He hung up the phone, returned to the private room, and said with a bitter, apologetic look, "Jiang Yu, my heart isn't feeling well. The registration line will be quite long at this time. I'm very sorry."
Zhao Jingyun tucked the hair that was hanging on her cheeks behind her ears and smiled calmly: "It's okay, I understand. You go back and help him first. The heart discomfort can be serious or minor."
Yu Shu apologized again and hurried downstairs to pay the bill. He also told the boss to ask the designated driver to take Zhao Jingyun away, as he had to leave first due to an emergency.
Yu Shu hurried back to Yide Mansion, and pushed away the cold air that hit his face, which made him shiver even though he was sweating.
There was no one in the room. No wonder Jiang Yu called him. If there were other people there, they wouldn't have looked for him.
In a hurry, he didn't even notice that he had put his slippers on the wrong way around, and rushed straight to the third floor.
The bedroom door was half open. Jiang Yu was lying on the bed wearing only a pair of tight black briefs. His bathrobe was thrown aside and there were some water stains on the floor.
There was a large red spot on his right ankle, and it was a little swollen.
I guess I accidentally sprained my ankle after taking a shower, and then I felt uncomfortable in my heart.
Yu Shu walked quickly forward, placed his hand on Jiang Yu's smooth and delicate chest, and felt his heartbeat.
"It took you so long to answer the phone." Jiang Yu complained.
Yu Shu felt a little guilty. Jiang Yu was really uncomfortable. He actually hung up the phone three times.
"I'm not back." He lowered his head and said guiltily.
"I thought you weren't coming."
Jiang Yu actually showed a hint of vulnerability, and Yu Shu's heart trembled violently when he saw it.
Yu Shu withdrew his hand. Jiang Yu's heart rate and frequency were normal. It might be because he did strenuous exercise before taking a shower, which caused the palpitations.
"Exercise before showering?"
"Yeah, I ran a few kilometers."
No wonder.
Yu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and took a cup of warm water and brought it to Jiang Yu's mouth.
Jiang Yu didn't raise his hand, just lay there, looking at Yu Shu with wide eyes, waiting to be fed.
"Next time, take a break after exercising before taking a shower, okay?"
Yu Shu lifted Jiang Yu up and slowly fed the water into his mouth.
Jiang Yu kicked his twisted foot and pouted, "It hurts."
"Got it. Drink the water first, and I'll apply the medicine on you."
"I have difficulty moving around." Jiang Yu added meaningfully.
Yu Shu flicked Jiang Yu's forehead and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll stay at your place tonight. Are you satisfied?"
Jiang Yu shook his head: "You have to stay here until it gets better."
Yu Shu wanted to refuse, but the balance of his bank card popped up when he was checking out just now, which suppressed his urge to roll his eyes and reject it.
The final payment from the boy band allowed him to pay off his mortgage and leave a considerable amount of savings. If it weren't for Jiang Yu, he would have had to be a mortgage slave for a flat in the city for 20 to 30 years.
He laughed and scolded, "Okay, okay, I'll take it as what I owe you. You really are an emperor."
