Winner Takes All - Chapter 10

The next morning, the two took a boat tour and fishing.

Qiandao Lake’s natural scenery is beautiful and magnificent, but Li Shuo has no mood to appreciate, his eyes stare straight at the fish floating in a daze.

It happened for several days, and there was no real progress on the lawyer’s side. He was really afraid that he would be trapped here, and he was unwilling to ask his father for help.

He put a hand on his shoulder, and he was startled and looked up. It was his dad: “Dad, did you catch a fish?”

“I just caught a big fish weighing four pounds and told you not to come over. What do you think?”

Li Shuo smiled: “Wait for my big fish.”

Mr. Li sat on the stool next to him: “Xiaoshuo, you have been in a bad state these days, and you are always indifferent. Holding a phone all day long, is there anything wrong with the office?”

“Oh, there is a case with something, nothing serious, I just call them to deal with it.”

“I don’t think it’s a little bit, right? You don’t have a nervous personality when you encounter a little thing. Your mother has long found out that you are not right, and wants to take you out to play and relax, but in the end, you are still not very good. Let me talk to you. “Mr. Li said helplessly:” Actually, I didn’t want to come. You are too much like me. I never want to bring any troubles back to my family. I also believe in my son’s ability , But I ca n’t beat your mother. ”

Li Shuo felt a warm heart. He felt that he was the luckiest person. With such a perfect family, his parents have good personalities and respect and love each other. This is the marriage he yearns for, so even if he is gay, he feels He should find someone who is as gentle, kind and indisputable as his mother, such as Li Chengxiu.

He looked at his father with a smile: “Dad, thank you, rest assured, I can solve this matter, isn’t that the job, there is a problem, it is really no big deal to solve the problem.”

“That’s good.” Mr. Li patted his son’s back. “Actually, I don’t really worry about you. Even if you fall down, you will be able to get up. What if you can’t get up, our family will leave it to you. It ’s not enough for a decent lifetime? ”

Li Shuo laughed: “Dad, if you told me this when you were a kid, I would definitely grow into a sister-in-law.”

“You won’t.” Mr. Li said proudly, “The most proud thing in my life is not to start from scratch, but to marry a good wife and have a good son.”

“Dad, thank you.” Li Shuo sighed silently in his heart. Whether out of filial piety or self-esteem, he did not want his parents to worry about him.

I remember when he first graduated from the university, he was enthusiastic and gave up his master’s degree from lse. He wanted to go to Africa for one year to teach. His parents were against it, mainly because he was worried about his safety. He has always been high-spirited and too idealistic when he was young. As a standard rich child, the deep love of Eastern family culture and the self-reliance of Western family culture made him very contradictory. He could not bear to defy his parents’ excessive protection. He also felt that his parents ‘shame made him feel complacent in his peers. He wanted to do something “really meaningful”, so he thought of charity that didn’t need to spend his parents’ money.

He convinced his parents and went to Ethiopia with a team of volunteers.

He regretted the first day there. He has never experienced such a harsh and poor environment in his life, and he has not experienced such desperate backwardness, especially the suffering of local children, which has made his heart extremely depressed. He vomited and diarrhea for the first meal, and had a fever for three days. He felt like an idiot. He gave up his good life and the top school came to this ghost place. This is the consequence of not listening to his parents.

But every time he talked to his parents on the phone, he didn’t dare to say a bit of pain. At first he felt embarrassed, but later he couldn’t bear to let his parents worry.

He ended up staying there for 15 months. From the initial regrets and neglect, to accepting fate, adapting, and trying his best to do something for the local children, these psychological changes are accompanied by his rapid growth, more than what he has learned and realized in the past two decades. Much more. Thanks to those 15 months of experience, he cured all his infidelity and rebellion, made him understand a lot of truth, and made him extremely tough and brave.

Therefore, he never asks his parents for help and never bothers them, not only because of filial piety, because of self-esteem, but also because he feels that everything is done by himself.

Mr. Li chatted with him for a while and went fishing for his own fish. Li Shuo looked at the calm lake and wanted to drive a lot. If he really could n’t return to China, he tried to take Li Chengxiu to his side and he Do not believe that Shao Qun can trap him all his life.

As soon as Mr. Li left, Zhao Jinxin came over and whispered: “Baby, what big fish are you waiting for?”

Li Shuo chuckled: “I’m not waiting for you anyway.”

“What’s the point of love-no fun.” Zhao Jinxin pursed her lips, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: “I have a friend who specializes in developing love-fun goods, and he invented it A mermaid suit, do you want to see me wear it? ”

Li Shuo glanced at him obliquely: “Language pick — what can you get?”

Zhao Jinxin charmed and smiled: “Get tuned — play your pleasure — sense.”

Li Shuo shook his head helplessly: “Don’t talk, it will scare my fish.”

“Forget it, your mind isn’t on the fish at all. Why are you so stubborn and don’t let me help, and don’t let your dear help, this is not a matter of dignity, it’s stupid.”

Li Shuo said calmly: “I’m 34 years old. It’s not just stupid for a man to stand up and have trouble embarrassing his father who has a heart problem.”

“What about me? Is it so difficult to receive my help?”

Li Shuo looked at the lake silently, just like he said, he didn’t want to owe Zhao Jinxin’s affection. Now Zhao Jinxin entangled him in every way, really wanted to accept the help, it was not harder to refuse.

Zhao Jinxin sighed in disappointment, watching the lake for a while, suddenly holding his cheek with his hands, looking at Li Shuo, and said sweetly: “But Uncle Li is so handsome, I like you more. ”

Li Shuo couldn’t laugh or cry.

“Let’s go to a bar tonight.” Zhao Jinxin said expectantly.

“No time tonight. When my lawyer wakes up, we still have a long meeting.”

“What about tomorrow?”

“let’s talk tomorrow.”

“Your answer is too perfunctory. We have stayed here for four or five days. You promised me, do you talk?”

Li Shuo couldn’t help it: “Then tomorrow night.”

Zhao Jinxin smiled with satisfaction.

They cooked the fish they caught on the boat. They put nothing but salt. The grilled fish, fish soup, and sashimi were fresh and tender no matter how they were eaten. They had the purest taste of the ingredients.

Both families ate very happily.

They returned to the shore in the afternoon. They were a little tired and went to rest.

Li Shuo plunged into the room and called the country to find a relationship. In the past few days, he almost found all the friends he could find, and initially determined the purpose of Shao Qun. Most of Shao Qun did not intend to really get him. Going in would cost a lot of money. The effect that Shao Qun wanted to achieve was to prevent himself from returning to China. This purpose was temporarily achieved, but he was not vegetarian, and he would definitely make Shao Qun regret.

Before dinner, Zhao Jinxin came to Li Shuo to take medicine. Li Shuo didn’t want to be alone with him, so he moved the medicine box to the living room. In the presence of his elders and housekeeper, he wiped and applied hot medicine. There were some unsuccessful grievances in his eyes.

Zhao Rongtian watched for a while, and said with satisfaction: “I see your brothers can talk quite well. When you return to your country, you can do a good job in the northern trade and continue the friendship of our generation. The Chinese, Heritage is the most important thing. ”

Li Shuo laughed: “You are right, I will assist Jin Xin with my heart.”

Zhao Jinxin said especially upright: “Dad, rest assured, I will do well with my brother.”

Zhao Jinxin deliberately emphasized a certain word, so angry that Li Shuo wanted to punch him. How could this boy be so cheeky in front of his elders, it was almost embarrassing.

Zhao Rongtian left with satisfaction. Zhao Jinxin winked at Li Shuo: “Look, dear, you really know me.”

Li Shuo narrowed his eyes and squeezed Zhao Jinxin’s fingers with a force.

“Ah!” Zhao Jinxin screamed in pain.

“Sorry, I’ll take it lightly.” Li Shuo turned his back to his elders, and said, “You deserve it.”

Zhao Jinxin whispered grievously, “Uncle Li doesn’t feel bad for me at all.”

Li Shuo gave him a white look.

Zhao Jinxin suddenly smirked.

Before Li Shuo responded, his legs were entangled with Zhao Jinxin’s legs unsuspectingly. He glared at Zhao Jinxin and glanced back at the elders chatting on the sofa in guilty conscience.

The two were sitting face-to-face next to an original wooden table, and the underside of the table was hollowed out. As long as someone looked at it, they could see the “go” under the table.

Li Shuo tried to withdraw his legs, but did not dare to make a big move. Of course, the result was of no avail. He whispered, “Let it go!”

Zhao Jinxin said with a smile: “You clamp my hand, I clamp your leg, it is fair to exchange gifts.”

“Fart.” Li Shuo twisted anxiously, he was quite nervous, in case he was seen by two parents, how would he explain? He’s such an adult, where does his face go?

Zhao Jinxin whispered: “Don’t move around, be careful to fall off the chair. Don’t move, I have a strong leg.”

Li Shuo threatened: “If you don’t let go, I won’t go drinking with you.”

Zhao Jinxin blinked her eyes, apparently she was the first one to slap — Sao, but also a bullied bully, loosening her legs.

Li Shuo really wanted to applaud his temper and self-cultivation, in exchange for being successively tuned by a boy who was ten years younger than himself — drama, and the table was lifted early.

One day, Li Shuo was tired of his brain and body, and went to bed early.

At midnight, he heard Didi’s voice faintly, but he slumbered stupidly, only dreaming, then turned to sleep again.

The next morning, he got up and washed up, took out his cell phone to see if there was any new mail, but found that the cell phone was out of power. He charged the cell phone and went down for dinner.

After dinner, Zhao Jinxin stalked him to walk the dog together.

Li Shuo has always liked dogs, but he is a man with an excess of responsibility. Frequent business trips will make him unable to take good care of his pets, and he cannot balance himself.

Both bee and sled are extremely energetic sled dogs. They have a lot of strength. They dragged a dog in one hand. Most of the time they were dragged away and walked around the resort. Li Shuo felt better than himself. Five kilometers is tired.

On the other hand, Zhao Jinxin jumped up and down with the two dogs, but he was not tired. Li Shuo was immediately envious of his youth.

Zhao Jinxin led Ann and ran out 100 meters, turned around and beckoned to Li Shuo, “Hurry up.” The vibrant look seemed to have gathered all the vigor of this beautiful morning.

Li Shuo suddenly thought that walking a dog with someone he liked was one of his fantasies about a stable life, and Zhao Jinxin was the first person to embody this fantasy.

He immediately stopped his mind from following up on this fantasy.

Zhao Jinxin was still shouting, “Go away baby, it’s too slow.”

At this time, the old steward happened to kill him from a corner on a bicycle. He supported the ground with one foot, looked at Zhao Jinxin in a frown, and looked at Li Shuo.

Li Shuo scolded Zhao Jinxin for not covering him.

Zhao Jinxin grinned, “My name is bee.”

The steward responded, “I’ll go to the supermarket to buy something.” Then he rode away on a small bicycle.

As soon as he left, Zhao Jinxin laughed.

Li Shuo ran and said, “What are you talking about?”

“I said that my name was bee.” Zhao Jinxin blinked. “You think I’m calling you, so shy.”

Li Shuo stooped and carried a bee like a white bear, and threw it on Zhao Jinxin: “Bite him!”

Zhao Jinxin caught the bee subconsciously.

I thought they were playing games, and they jumped high on Zhao Jinxin’s body. If they couldn’t, they would chop Zhao Jinxin. They had to fight for favor, and almost pulled off his sweatpants.

Li Shuo laughed aside.

Zhao Jinxin also laughed. He put the bee on the ground and reached out and squeezed Li Shuo’s face: “I haven’t seen you laugh like this for several days.”

Li Shuo froze for a moment, and for a moment did not know how to react.

Since the accident, how could he really laugh one time, but just at that moment, he really forgot that these days he was bothered by his troubles, and laughed happily.

To him now, it is like a bit of sweetness in bitterness.

Li Shuo rubbed his hair and said “Hey”, “It seems I have to thank you.”

Zhao Jinxin’s eyes were full of tenderness: “I want to thank you for showing me your smile.”

Li Shuo’s breathing was stagnation, his heart seemed to be punched, painless, and numb, making him stiff.

So that when Zhao Jinxin’s face got closer and closer, he failed to respond in time, but was bound by those deep, beautiful eyes.

The soft, warm lips touched Li Shuo’s lips lightly, so a shallow kiss seemed to generate a huge current in an instant.

Li Shuo’s eyes widened and he pushed Zhao Jinxin away.

Zhao Jinxin stepped back a few steps and almost fell. He stood still, without anger, disappointment, or usual cynical, but just looked at Li Shuo deeply, and touched his fingertips with a touch of Yu Wen’s lips , And then put his finger in his mouth, his eyes were savagely aggressive, but he was also stunned — to the extreme.

Li Shuo blinked slightly, even though his heart was down, but his expression did not leak. He took the rope of bee: “Go back.”

“Li Shuo.” Zhao Jinxin shouted from behind, “Give up Li Chengxiu.”

Li Shuo didn’t stop, didn’t look back, and went straight.

Back at the villa, Li Shuo shut himself back to the room, exhaling a long breath.

It is better to take Zhao Jinxin as a test to see if he can be the master of emotions in this matter, or slaves.

He calmed down for a while and remembered the mobile phone, which was already fully charged. He picked it up and saw that there was a text message by Li Chengxiu. His heart leaped a few times, wondering if he was afraid to see rejection, or … guilty.

He texted:

“Brother Li, I’m sorry, I can’t go to the United States with you. In my eyes it’s thirty, and I have to start again in a strange country. I don’t have that courage. Thank you for taking so long to take care of me, I just ca n’t afford it. Can say thank you. You are good to me, I remember everything, I added a lot of trouble to you, I hope you can forgive me. I plan to leave Shenzhen, after I leave, Shao Qun will not embarrass you, but also In order to make it difficult for me, it ’s good to everyone. I live up to your kindness, I ’m sorry, I ’m really sorry. Please do n’t worry about me, I have a relative doing business in a foreign country, I will go to him. Brother Li, I ’m sorry, I can’t say goodbye to you in person, I hope you are all right, I hope you can forgive me. “2k novel reading network
