Chapter 43 The Kneeling Man
After Lu Jianguo went upstairs, he saw Chen Cong standing in his room.
Since he entered this room, he has been standing there without moving.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Lu Jianguo poured him a cup of tea, "It's not embarrassing for a man to be beaten. It's embarrassing to cry out after being beaten. Have a cup of tea first."
Chen Cong took the cup from Lu Jianguo's hand and held it hard in his hand.
"I'm just angry, right? I really want to call me back."
"yes!"
Lu Jianguo sat on the chair, "But I won't let you do this."
Chen Cong didn't say anything.
"Are you very angry?"
"yes!"
"Don't you have a bottle of poison? You can poison me to death first, so I won't care about you anymore. You can do whatever you do next."
"I..." He raised his head and stared at Lu Jianguo, "Shopkeeper, don't force me."
"If I force you, will you do that?"
"I..." He gritted his teeth, "I won't." It can be seen that he was in pain inside.
"Then I'll be relieved." Lu Jianguo nodded heavily, "I really didn't see the wrong person."
"Shopkeeper, from now on, he or not me!"
"Don't say so ruthlessly." Lu Jianguo asked: "Do you know the pattern of Tai Chi?"
"Know."
"White and black are never compatible, but these two colors exist together. Just like day and night, they cannot appear at the same time, but they are inseparable."
"I don't understand, the shopkeeper."
"You and Qi Xiaomao are my right-hand arm, and neither is missing." Lu Jianguodao: "I am the dividing line in the middle of Tai Chi pattern. I tolerate you and you depend on me. I don't beg you to be able to blend with each other, but over time you will get used to the existence of each other and you can't leave anyone."
He looked at Chen Cong's eyes, and Chen Cong also looked at him. At that moment, they were indeed like a whole.
At that moment, Chen Cong really didn't want to leave Lu Jianguo because he had never met such a person in his life. He respected him and loved him. In his heart, he felt that being able to meet such a big brother in his life was the most proud thing for him.
"Now, are you still as angry as before? You should be much better."
“It’s much better.”
"If you are black, you should be deeper and more steady than white. This is what I expect you to look like. You can develop in different directions, but you must not deviate from your upright heart. I can't wait to see what you look like when you grow up." Lu Jianguo said solemnly: "Promise me and let me see."
"I will never let you down!"
"Okay, that's right, this is what I know Chen Cong." Lu Jianguo pounded Shen Cong's chest with his fist.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother, I would have liked to meet you earlier."
“It’s not too late to meet now.”
...
That night, Chen Cong slept with a sleep that was more at ease than ever and had a dream that was more fulfilling than ever.
And since that day, he has followed Lu Jianguo inseparably.
Even though, the white cloth strip was tied to the windowsill of Yipin Building.
Even though Su Baoqing and Wu Boyang stood by the window at the same time, looking at him.
"Don't be nervous, I'll take you out, just ask them to take a good look at you." Lu Jianguo held the purple clay pot in his hand and stood on the steps at the door of the store. While nodding and greeting the guests in and out, he said in a voice: "Be more natural, don't be so stiff."
"Yes." Chen Cong reorganized his expression.
"He said he would send a killer if he didn't reply to him tonight?"
"That's what Wu Boyang said."
"Then we have to prepare well." Lu Jianguo was calm and laughed, and he could not tell from his expression that he was talking about.
"Shopkeeper, we have to be careful. Wu Boyang is very despicable."
"You're right." Lu Jianguo said again: "Do you know why I want you to stand here with me?"
"Why?"
"Give them a letter of war." Lu Jianguo said lightly: "I want to tell them clearly that from now on, you are my person. If they want to touch you, they have to pass my level first."
Chen Cong pursed his lips and smiled. He was very proud. He felt the feeling of being covered by someone for the first time. This feeling was really good.
Then, Lu Jianguo changed the subject and pointed to the slender back kneeling at the entrance of Yipin Building and said, "If I remember correctly, the young man seemed to have been kneeling there since yesterday."
"Yes, he was kneeling there when I went out yesterday, and when the shop opened this morning, he was kneeling there."
"It seems that he has been kneeling for a day and a night." Lu Jianguo shook his head, "It is an excessive thing to let a young man kneel on the street and kneel for so long."
"He was going to kneel down by himself. I heard that he stole things from the store and was driven out."
"Steal things." Lu Jianguo smiled, "I don't think it's like, if a person steals things, he should run away quickly. According to Su Baoqing's temper, if he steals things and is caught on the spot, he will definitely be beaten to death, but he is not injured."
"You think he was wronged."
"Looking at his eyes, he was always staring at the sign opposite him, which shows that he has a deep affection for Yipinlou. His back is always straight, which shows that he is open-minded and has no guilt. If you say that such a person is a thief, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to agree with."
"I understand." Chen Cong turned around.
"where did you go?"
"It's going to rain, I'll get an umbrella."
"Go." Lu Jianguo smiled. Chen Cong was indeed smart. He understood his thoughts with just a look.
Not long after, Chen Cong brought back two umbrellas.
Lu Jianguo asked, "You said you understand, but why did you only hold two umbrellas?"
"One handful of him, one handful of me, is enough. Besides, if I take out three umbrellas, it will only make Su Baoqing suspicious. He must know that if you fall in love with that guy, you will definitely not let him go easily."
"Hahaha, it's such a timely rain. I just regret it's not heavy enough." After laughing, Lu Jianguo raised his head and said, "Shopkeeper Su, is there Yaxing coming downstairs to accompany me to enjoy the rain?"
Su Baoqing stood upstairs and looked at Lu Jianguo, muttering, "This man is such a lunatic." As he said that, he closed the window vigorously, "Have the two killers you hired come?"
"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, I must be good-looking tonight with the one named Lu!"
"I want him to die, and Chen Cong, who dares to betray me, so let him and the one named Lu go to see the King of Hell."
"There will definitely be no mistake this time. The two killers I hired are all good players in one place!"
"It's better not to make any mistakes, I don't have that much effort to waste on him."
"clear."
