Chapter 14 – That Should Be Lu Yong’s Unshakeable Heart To Break Off Their Friendship

Of course Shen Wenqiu wanted to go. He wanted to go long ago.  

Lu Yong’s company officially stated his dad as the founder, but it was the two of them that actually worked it out together in the summer when they were sixteen: They thought of the company name together; the first core patent established by the company was developed by Lu Yong accompanied by him. They investigated the procedure and he accompanied Lu Yong to apply. He asked his uncle, a lawyer he knew well, to help him look at the procedures and documents for establishing a company. He and Lu Yong also searched for several small warehouses and finally found a suitable and cheap place as the company’s earliest warehouse.

Even though he didn’t own any shares, he always felt that this company was like… just like a child he and Lu Yong created together.

He had been inquiring about Lu Yong’s life when he was in college. He bought all the magazines where Lu Yong published articles, but he couldn’t understand them. He studied business management at university, which was 18000 miles away from Lu Yong’s study direction. Although they were in different schools and had different majors, they could still tell the gap between each other. He couldn’t resist inquiring and could only find out some well-known public data.

After entering university, Lu Yong probably still had no friends, had no social platform accounts at all and did not communicate with other high school classmates. Shen Wenqiu had no way of knowing his private life and interpersonal relationship status.

Once, he checked the official website of Lu Yong’s University, which was his alma mater, and it posted news about Lu Yong going abroad as an exchange student and working as a researcher in a foreign research office. In the photo, Lu Yong stood among a group of people, all wearing similar white lab coats. He had a fresh and cool crew cut, his chest raised, and he smiled confidently at the camera. Everyone around him was kind, all of them were his like-minded good partners.

Shen Wenqiu suddenly felt upset and couldn’t calm down in his heart, he even felt that he was ugly inside. He repeatedly thought about it several times: Why didn’t Lu Yong come to me?With his character, can he make friends?University is a preparatory exam for entering society. Can a person like him who is dumb, straightforward, and unable to read between the lines get along with others properly?Won’t he be bullied? Why doesn’t he come back and find me soon?

Shen Wenqiu couldn’t take the initiative to find Lu Yong no matter what. He couldn’t get over his anger from that time.

At the high school graduation banquet, he sent an invitation to Lu Yong with a shy expression. He left the place next to him at the main table empty for Lu Yong. He waited until the banquet was over, but Lu Yong still didn’t come.

The homeroom teacher was drunk, and asked casually, “Where is Lu Yong? How come I haven’t seen Lu Yong? Aren’t you guys very close?”

He suddenly burst into tears, sniffed his nose and said to the teacher, “I don’t know. Teacher, I will miss you. I’m going to miss you guys a lot.”

Lu Yong appeared to have a temperament as soft as a dough, but only his best friend, Shen Wenqiu knew that Lu Yong was more firm than a boulder.

Shen Wenqiu didn’t think it was his fault, it wasn’t him who wrote the love letter, and it wasn’t him who made the confession and broke their friendship for no reason. In the end, he was the one who was reluctant to let go of this friendship and wanted to reconcile with Lu Yong, he didn’t even care about losing his face anymore, so he wrote a letter and sent an invitation, but Lu Yong didn’t come.

That should be Lu Yong’s unshakeable heart to break off their friendship.

He was really angry.

Why did Lu Yong have the right to do this?He doesn’t even care about his pride anymore, while Lu Yong decided to end things up? Does Lu Yong mean that they could only be lovers and not even friends?

Shen Wenqiu held his breath, minding his own business and compared himself to Lu Yong to study and work.

At that time he felt that he was doing quite well. He was competitive, and he didn’t want to lose to Lu Yong. He wanted to make his appearance bright enough to pretend to be casual and say to Lu Yong, “Long time no see.”

In order to relieve all these years of resentment.

It was a pity that he fell to the bottom before finding a chance to meet Lu Yong again.

In the end… he appeared in front of Lu Yong in the most embarrassing and humiliating manner.

Wanting to go to the company was one thing, and going was another. 

Shen Wenqiu felt that he was unworthy to visit the company. He lowered his eyelashes and opened a gap between his tight lips, saying words with no confidence, “How can I go? Can I go like this? I don’t even have a suitable piece of clothing.”

Lu Yong’s answer seemed to hold his light question firmly in his palm, “Yes, there is.”

“Where is it?” He had seen Lu Yong’s wardrobe. He said, “Your clothes are so big that I don’t fit them.”

Lu Yong didn’t understand the trouble at all, “The mall is more or less open at this hour. So we can just buy a new one when we pass by on the way, isn’t it all right?”

Shen Wenqiu: “…”

Lu Yong’s brain circuit was always beyond his expectations! Shen Wenqiu opened his eyes and stared at Lu Yong, who looked back at him innocently. Both of Lu Yong’s eyes looked at Shen Wenqiu, and he looked back at Lu Yong, but Shen Wenqiu felt uncomfortable first.

Shen Wenqiu got up from the sofa, stepped on the end of the slippers to wear them, and said, “I’ll take a shower and shave.”

He still didn’t want to miss this opportunity. If he missed it, he didn’t know if he would have it again in this life.

The bathroom had also changed since the first time he came, and a lot of toiletries were added.

Two bath towels were hung together in the same style, one blue and the other green. Lu Yong used the blue one, and he used green.

After taking shower.

Shen Wenqiu went to get the green bath towel, and for some reason, he picked up the blue one and smelled it, it was the smell of the sun. Lu Yong is very hygienic. After taking a shower every day, he washes the bath towels and dried them directly with a dryer and hangs them back.

Shen Wenqiu walked to the mirror, only to realise that he hadn’t looked at himself seriously for a long time.

Because he didn’t want to look, and Lu Yong was not a person who liked to dress up a lot. He didn’t even have a full-length mirror at home, and he was so happy that he didn’t have to face his current ugly and degenerate form. He looked at himself calmly for a moment, and said to himself, “So ugly.”

The muscles on his body were almost gone, it was all bones. He looked like he had no energy at all, his eyelids were droopy, his eyes were listless, his face looked ugly, dark circles under his eyes were heavy, and there was a somewhat bluish beard stubble. He didn’t keep it alone all the time and just shaved it once or twice a week.

But in fact, he used to be a boy who likes to flaunt himself. He had been the most handsome boy in school since he was little. Shen Wenqiu hastily cleaned himself up and felt that he was barely presentable. Then he went out of the bathroom with moisture and said, “My hair is too long. I haven’t cut it for a long time. It’s a bit messy.”

He hadn’t even noticed before.

Lu Yong stared at him for two seconds. He swallowed the words “It’s so beautiful” and asked, “…Then we will stop by for a haircut?”

Shen Wenqiu, “Then won’t you be late for work? It’s okay. I’ll just buy a hair tie when the time comes and I will tie it up. I will cut my hair when I have free time.”

Then they went straight to the men’s suit shop in the mall.

Shen Wenqiu didn’t intend to choose for himself at first. After all, it was Lu Yong who paid for it. However, he saw that Lu Yong had picked up a set of clothes that was very old-fashioned and unsuitable for him, he then stopped him speechlessly and said, “Can I choose myself?”

Lu Yong, “Sure, sure.”

Shen Wenqiu quickly matched a set, which seemed to be chosen casually, and went straight to the dressing room to change clothes.

Lu Yong sat on the soft seat outside and waited. Five minutes later, Shen Wenqiu came out of the locker room——

He simply tied his hair, which looked too dishevelled, with a black rubber band he got from the clerk, revealing his handsome face. The tailored dark suit perfectly set off his tall and slender figure, which was almost like a model’s proportions. A button suit style, a tight waistline design, and a light grey blue pointed lapel with large pinstripes on the inside, with a black and white small check tie.

Shen Wenqiu had a whole new look. Lu Yong looked dumbfounded.

He thought that now Shen Wenqiu would walk into any commercial building unhindered. With this face, if he is positive and sunny, he is extremely attractive, but even if he looks depressed right now, there is a different kind of attractive charm.

Lu Yong remembered that he watched the movie “A Portrait of Shunkin” with Shen Wenqiu in high school.

The servant Sasuke was infatuated with the blind girl Shunkin. Because of the blindness and disability, Shunkin had an eccentric and surly temperament. Even when she was giving orders, she did not give clear instructions. She used a subtle movement or expression, or a mysterious phrase so that Sasuke had to pay attention and listen to the instructions all the time.

Shen Wenqiu, “She’s causing trouble for him too much.”

Lu Yong said, “I don’t think she did it on purpose.”

Shen Wenqiu didn’t understand, “But wouldn’t the male lead be tired like this?”

How would he complain? The moment they understood the meaning behind each tiny movement was the moment when their minds were connected. How delightful it was for them? He was the only one in the world who understood the heart of the one he loves, and no one could beat him. As long as he could make her happy, he would be satisfied.

Lu Yong really envied the male lead. He was too stupid to know what Shen Wenqiu thought clearly.

When Shen Wenqiu saw Lu Yong staring at him without blinking, he felt a little hot on his face. He hadn’t dressed up decently like this in eight hundred years. In fact, he felt that he was not as handsome and beautiful as when he was in good spirits five or six years ago. He could only say that it was barely passable.

Shen Wenqiu tidied his bow tie uneasily, and frowned, “What are you looking at? Is it strange?”

Lu Yong didn’t say a word and only shook his head.

Shen Wenqiu asked, “Does it look good?”

Lu Yong replied, “Yes, yes.”

Lu Yong was extremely grateful that he had this idea yesterday and regretted not having thought of it earlier.

Look, he should’ve taken Shen Wenqiu to buy good clothes and go out to his workplace. He was in much better spirits, right? It looked like the posture of an elite.

“As long as this can deal with it later.” Shen Wenqiu said, “Just this set, I don’t waste anymore time.”

Shen Wenqiu took a picture of his reflection. It wasn’t the best clothes he had worn, but it was also quite decent, more than enough for trash like him. He thought it would be nice to be able to lie down in the coffin in this suit.

The 10,000 yuan in cash that Lu Yong withdrew last time was not used, and it was just in time to be used to buy this suit.

Shen Wenqiu watched Lu Yong pay but didn’t say a word. From the bottom of his heart, he cursed himself for being thick-skinned. He was going to die, and even deliberately deceived a good set of clothes as his “burial clothes”.

It took more than 20 minutes to buy clothes, it was fairly fast. They went back to the road and drove more than 40 minutes on the road to the company.

Shen Wenqiu: “Do you live so far from the company?”

“En. The industrial park is built in the suburbs to not disturb people, not only that, it is convenient to dispose of industrial waste, and the land is cheap as well. The H city government is very active in this aspect and gives a lot of benefits and convenience.” Lu Yong responded vaguely and turned the topic away. He remembered not to say something wrong this time. In fact, he used to live in the company’s dormitory for office work as it was more convenient. It was because of Shen Wenqiu that he cleaned his house that was in the city to live

A sign with black lettering on a white background was hung at the entrance of the park: Hefeng Co. Ltd.

That was what they thought of together back then, taking the meaning from the idiom the wind and grass are in full swing.

Lu Yong said hello to the security guard, the electric-powered iron door slowly opened, and the vehicle drove in.

Although he was mentally prepared, Shen Wenqiu still felt shocked when he saw the vast and tidy cement industrial zone lined with buildings.

This was undoubtedly a world away from the small garbage dump in Lu Yong’s house back then.

Shen Wenqiu asked with uncertainty, “Which building is yours?”

Lu Yong scratched his face and said, “It’s all mine….. Everything you see after entering the door.”

Shen Wenqiu: “…”

Lu Yong drove to the company’s parking lot and said, “I will show you around.”

The author has something to say:

I have changed the gong setting. In fact, it is not very realistic for him to achieve this achievement at his age. But I thought about it. For novels, it should be fine to exaggerate. Give him some cheats and just be him. He is a genius with a little luck.
