When Fu Shen found Tang Zhou, the young man was squatting at the foot of the wall and he resembled a homeless stray cat. His light brown eyes were staring blankly at the camphor tree on the side of the road and he was thoroughly a bit dazed.
His heart suddenly softened a bit.
He went in front of Tang Zhou and his tall figure blocked the sun. It seemed that because the spring sun was too warm, his expression was very gentle.
Tang Zhou stood up with his hands on his knees and took a step forward. The numbness swept across his calves in an instant, and he staggered forward.
Fortunately, Fu Shenâs eyes and hands were quick, and he caught him fully.
Tang Zhouâs legs were unconscious and he had no other choice but to climb on Fu Shen to prevent himself from falling to the ground.
Fu Shen put his arms around his waist helplessly, âHow long have you been squatting?â
Tang Zhouâs eyebrows frowned slightly because of the sudden numbness, and he couldnât really endure it. He could only hold Fu Shen with one hand and knead his calf with the other.
A pedestrian passed by and cast a meaningful gaze, but Fu Shen didnât see it.
He helped Tang Zhou to the camphor tree and let Tang Zhou support the trunk by himself. He then squatted down and stretched out his hand to hold Tang Zhouâs calf.
âWhat are you doing!â
Tang Zhou jumped in shock. Due to his soft and numb legs, he didnât move. He could only stare at Fu Shen with two frightened eyes.
Fu Shen didnât say anything and pressed down hard.
Tang Zhou took a deep breath, it was sore and refreshing.
Fu Shen paused and continued to ease him.
His warm palm was against his thin casual pants, clearly tracing the shape of his slender and proportional leg.
Tang Zhou leaned against the trunk of the tree, and from his angle, he could only see the back of the guyâs head and the wheat-colored neck. The hands holding his leg were slender and strong, transmitting a reliable temperature through his pants.
Itâs not that he hadnât experienced his legs getting numb, itâs just that he had never received such concern from others like this.
His legs gradually recovered. Tang Zhou, however, didnât utter a word.
Fu Shen estimated that it was about time. He raised his head and asked, âCan you walk?â
The sunlightâs sort of fragments of gold penetrated through the gaps of the leaves and fell on his amber eyes, like a bright meteor in the sky. It was beautiful but short.
Tang Zhou drifted back to his senses and said indifferently, âMn, thanks.â
âWhat happened to your hand?â Fu Shen turned his head and looked at his red joints.
Tang Zhou fastened his seat belt and said lightly: âI beat up a scumbag.â
He didnât want to say it, Fu Shen also didnât ask much. He started the car and joined the traffic.
Not far from here was Tangâs enterprise. If he guessed correctly, Tang Zhou shouldâve gone to the company earlier. As for who was beaten up, this kind of thing wasnât a secret, and it should be very easy to find out.
However, Tang Zhou didnât seem to be such an impulsive person.
Seeing that Tang Zhou was in a bad mood, Fu Shen didnât do an inauspicious thing, and picked a common topic: âWhat do you want to eat tonight?â
Tang Zhou didnât have much appetite, but he felt that staying with Fu Shen wasnât bad. A scene suddenly flashed in his mind and he couldnât help but curl the corners of his lips.
âItâs almost evening.â
He exclaimed without thinking and then said, âOsmanthus glutinous rice balls are quite good.â
Fu Shen was stunned and a smile appeared in his eyes.
âThen letâs go to school.â
When he drove to Jiangda, the food stalls outside werenât set up yet.
The two of them couldnât just wait in the car. Fu Shen suggested, âItâs better to go to the dormitory and stay for a while, just in time to chat with Liang Chen and the others about the project.â
Tang Zhou nodded in response.
Itâs about a ten minutes walk from the school gate to the boysâ dormitory building.
Currently this weekend, there werenât as many students in the school as usual, but dozens of them could be encountered along the way.
As the school grass figure of Jiangda, Tang Zhou had always been eye-catching.
Fu Shen wasnât bad compared to him. The two were handsome guys with different styles. If you really want to separate them into different levels, itâs really hard to tell.
Itâs just that Fu Shenâs family was poor and not as attention-grabbing as Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhou was thinking about things and didnât care about the gaze of the people around him.
Fu Shen was sending messages in the group, and also didnât pay any attention to those peeping eyes.
ăFu Shenă : Tang-shen is coming. Those with smelly socks should collect them quickly.
ăPi Xiuă : F__k! How long will it take?!!!
ăFu Shenă : Five minutes
ăLiang Chenă : Why did he come all of a sudden?
Because of the project, theyâre in the dormitory and none of them went home or went out to play, living a life of going bald before graduating.
ăFu Shenă : Tang-zong will inspect the progress.
Fu Shen raised his lips, looked up at Tang Zhou, who was staring out of the sky, and lowered his head.
ăFu Shenă : Did the food stalls open last night?
He was worried that the food stalls wouldnât be open on weekends, so he asked specifically.
ăLiang Chenă : They did open, why?
ăFu Shenă : Nothing. How are the two doing with their stinky socks?
As soon as the message was sent out, a voice came in: âHave you ever seen the news?â
Fu Shen stopped in his tracks, âHuh?â
Just as Tang Zhou turned his head, he saw Fu Shen lowered his head to send a message, heâs also unable to restrain his emotions and smile. He looked like he was in love with someone, so he couldnât help but interrupt him.
He knew that Fu Shen hadnât fallen in love since he became President Fu, but he didnât know if Fu Shen had a relationship before becoming President Fu.
âThere was a girl playing on her phone with her head down and her leg got stuck in the sewer.â
Fu Shen: â⌠My legs are not that thin.â
Tang Zhou glanced at his legs subconsciously. They were long and straight, with smooth lines, and his loose pants were lined very thinly.
The main reason was that his legs were nice-looking and his bones and flesh were well-proportioned.
Tang Zhou turned around: âDonât play with your phone while walking.â
Fu Shen smiled and put his phone in his trouser pocket.
âMn, Iâm not playing anymore.â
Thinking of the feeling of helping Tang Zhou to solve the numbness of his legs, Fu Shen couldnât resist but cast his gaze on Tang Zhouâs legs which were much thinner than his.
Fu Shenâs dormitory was on the fifth floor, and neither of them was physically weak, so it was easy to climb to the fifth floor.
This was the first time Tang Zhou had visited, or visited the door of the freshman students, which was a bit novel.
The door to the dormitory was wide open.
âTang-shen!â The boy in the Pikachu sweater stood at the door and greeted him excitedly, âWelcome, welcome!â
He had never seen such an enthusiastic person.
The obvious helplessness on Tang Zhouâs face made the smile in Fu Shenâs eyes thicken. He grabbed Tang Zhouâs thin white wrist and whispered, âCome in.â
Tang Zhou set foot into the boysâ dormitory and looked all the way around. It was cleaner and tidier than he expected.
The door closed behind him, isolating the empty corridor, leaving only the narrowness and liveliness in front of him.
Loft bed with a desk underneath, four simple chairs were arranged in all directions, and there were notebooks placed on each table.
Fatty came out of the bathroom, used the stainless steel lunch box to fill freshly washed grapes, brought it over diligently, and handed it to Tang Zhou, âTang-shen, eat grapes!â
Under Li Fengyuâs expectant eyes, he pulled off one and said gently, âThank you.â
Fu Shen saw that he was uncomfortable, took Li Fengyuâs grapes, put them on the table, and asked the three of them, âHave you eaten dinner?â
âNo.â Liang Chen suggested, âWhen the night market opens, letâs go altogether?â
âGood ah, good ah, Letâs go eat skewers with Tang-shen later!â Pi Xiu quickly agreed.
Li Fengyu nodded: âItâs been a long time since I had a barbecue. Letâs buy some beer.â
Fu Shen had no opinion, thus all four of them looked at Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhou prided himself on his identity. He had never drunk alcohol and ate skewers at a street stall, but seeing that several of them were eager to try it, he was infected by this atmosphere and couldnât help but look forward to it: âYes ah, letâs eat skewers altogether.â
Pi Xiu clapped his hands, âIâll buy some beer later.â
Fu Shen shook his head, âBuy less, Senior Tang drove here, he doesnât drink.â
Thinking of Tang Zhouâs alcohol intake, he dared not let Tang Zhou drink again, otherwise Tang-shenâs reputation would be ruined by alcohol.
Tang Zhou also remembered his embarrassment after getting drunk, and nodded with a faint smile: âMn, I wonât drink.â
Several of them didnât force it.
It was still early before the night market opened, Liang Chen proposed: âWe might as well talk about the project altogether.â
Everyone looked at Tang Zhou again.
Tang Zhou said with a serious expression, âI have discussed it with Fu Shen before, let him talk about it.â
To be honest, Deep Blue could have that kind of development in the future, Fu Shen would definitely take great credit. Tang Zhou was self-aware. He didnât understand games or the player market, so there was no need to intervene in these matters.
Fu Shen didnât refuse, and talked eloquently. This game project was the result of his idea in his mind for several years. His concept of this project was already quite mature, and itâs not obscure.
Tang Zhou didnât understand some professional aspects such as game architecture. Fu Shen and others would also explain to him patiently, although the explanation didnât have any significant effect.
But it didnât prevent him from finding it very interesting.
From childhood to adulthood, the old manâs education for him was that he couldnât play with objects, so he didnât even give him dolls to play with, let alone online games?
He wouldnât be interested if he hadnât been in contact with it. Now that he had been exposed, he wanted to try it.
âIs the game really fun?â He asked.
Seeing that he was interested in the game, Pi Xiu immediately became high-spirited, âTang-shen will know when he plays. Whether itâs fun or not depends on the individual. Why donât you try it?â
He said, turning on his computer and entering the game client.
Tang Zhou caught a glimpse of the word âChivalryâ.
Pi Xiu kept presenting the game to him, and he also controlled his character to kill monsters and upgrade to do tasks.
This was a virtual world, without the interference of the real world, and it was indeed a good place to relax.
Tang Zhou became more and more interested, and tried to control the game character to do various actions by himself.
Li Fengyu also joined the line of leading Tang-shen to astray, and the three of them had a lot of fun.
Fu Shenâs chair was occupied by Tang Zhou. He leaned back in the closet and his gaze fell on Tang Zhouâs side face.
His skin was very white and his eyes were bright.
Liang Chen walked over and patted him on the shoulder, âGo out and talk?â
Fu Shen followed him to the corridor.
Liang Chen said with a cautious expression: âShen-ge, I have always wanted to ask, is the photo on the forum real?â
Liang Chen coughed lightly, âYou and Senior Tang.â
Fu Shen was slightly stunned. âWhat do you want to say?â
âWe are worried, are you with Senior Tang because of the sharesâŚâ
Fu Shen: ââŚyou guys think too much.â
Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, Tang Zhou would definitely not use money to do that kind of thing. At most, let him be a shield.
Thinking of the shield, his heart was inexplicably blocked.
Fu Shen shook off the messy emotions and said with a serious expression, âJust a personal assistant, clean up the waste in your heads.â
Liang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and didnât ask why the two of them were holding hands in the photo. Since Fu Shen had denied it, he didnât need to say more.
âMn, Iâll have them both clean it up.â
Fu Shen knew they were concerned about him, so he no longer dwelled on this topic. Hearing the sound of fervor fighting coming from inside, he said, âThe night market is almost open. Letâs go down altogether.â
Otherwise, someone would be led âastrayâ.
