To many people, alcohol was the greatest invention of mankind because it could cure pain and sorrow. Different countries invented different types of alcohol. Therefore, other than the differences in skin and language, everything else was the same.
The boy was not tall and was a little thin. He wore glasses and had messy hair. Compared to the girl's current boyfriend, he paled in comparison. Perhaps most girls would choose a boyfriend like that. After all, at this age, not many girls had the foresight to discover their boyfriend's potential.
Lele took two bottles of Corona from the bar counter and slowly placed them in front of the boy. The boy, who was deep in thought, looked at Lele in surprise. His eyes were still moist. Breaking up and being heartbroken were different feelings. Breaking up might be reluctant, but heartbroken often brought unforgettable scars.
"This is?" Facing a beautiful girl like Lele, the boy was obviously a little shy.
Lele looked at the boss not far away and smiled. "The boss asked me to give it to you. He said that you need alcohol at this time."
"Thank you," the boy replied politely. Then he looked at Qin Sheng and nodded slightly. His eyes were full of gratitude. He really wanted to drink, but he did not expect someone to give him help in his time of need. After Lele left, the boy used his teeth to bite open the bottle cap. He picked up a bottle of Corona and drank it in one gulp. Perhaps he was a little anxious and choked halfway. He paused for a while, but still gritted his teeth and finished it.
After finishing a bottle of wine, the boy put down the bottle and panted heavily. His face was full of contentment, but there was some bitterness in his eyes. After resting for a while, he picked up the remaining bottle of wine and slowly sat opposite Qin Sheng.
"It's written on the wall that all the alcohol is not as good as yours. Why did the boss still give me alcohol?" The boy asked directly. Perhaps his love was gone. At this time, there was nothing that would make him afraid or worry. Qin Sheng smiled faintly.
"I'm just giving it to you. You can decide whether to drink it or not. If you need it, you will drink it. If you don't need it, naturally you won't drink it."
"I've made a fool of myself in front of you," the boy said with some embarrassment.
Qin Sheng shook his head and said, "Who doesn't have a heart-wrenching moment in their lives? Who doesn't have a low tide in their lives? Why do you need to care about what others think? Maybe if you walk out of here today, these people are destined to never cross paths in this life. You and we are just passers-by who pass by each other. If you have to care about the thoughts of every passers-by in your life, won't it be too tiring to live?"
"Yes, this might be the last time in my life that I come to Xiamen," the boy sighed as he looked at the sea outside. Memories were like a knife, and every slash of the knife was fatal.
Qin Sheng laughed and said, "Some things are not so absolute. If the girl you like next time is still from Xiamen, won't you come?"
The boy did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "In that case, I have a conflict with Xiamen."
As Qin Sheng drank his tea, he felt a little craving for wine. Tea should be drunk alone, and wine should be enjoyed by everyone. Unfortunately, he did not even have a friend to drink with. It was indeed a little sad.
"My name is Lu Jiangbai, a third-year student of Tsinghua University's Finance Department. Nice to meet you, and thank you for your beer. If you don't mind, please leave me your phone number. The next time you go to Beijing, I'll treat you to a drink. I don't want to owe people favors," the boy took a deep breath and said confidently. This made Qin Sheng's eyes light up.
Qin Sheng laughed and said, "Two bottles of beer counts as a favor?"
"To you, it's just a lift of a finger. To me, it's a timely help. At least at that moment, you made my heart feel warm," Lu Jiangbai pushed his glasses and said softly.
Qin Sheng laughed and said, "Alright, it seems that at least someone will treat me to a drink when I go to Beijing. Then I'll leave you your phone number."
In life, there would always be strange people, and there would also be unexpected fates. Qin Sheng felt that this boy was not bad, so he treated him as a friend. Hence, they left each other's phone number. "Does it hurt?" Qin Sheng asked casually.
Lu Jiangbai drank a mouthful of beer and said, "It hurts, but I have to let go. Today is her birthday. I wanted to give her a surprise and tell her a piece of good news. I'm going to Harvard as an exchange student for a year soon, but I didn't expect her to give me an even bigger surprise. She can't even stand a long-distance relationship. Moreover, I come to Xiamen once a month, so a long-distance relationship is obviously impossible. It's only a matter of time before we break up."
"Congratulations first. Although love is not everything in life, I hope that you will always believe in love. Don't miss out on too many beautiful things because of this heartbreak. I believe that you will have a bright future. It's a pity that she doesn't have this blessing," Qin Sheng said with a smile. He was from Tsinghua University's Finance Department and could even go to Harvard as an exchange student. He was obviously a top student. That girl really had no taste.
Lu Jiangbai said confidently, "Yes, no matter what, I'm still grateful to her for accompanying me through this journey. Although she won't be here in the future, I believe that there will be someone who will accompany me for the rest of my life."
At this moment, Lin Su walked over slowly. She was the most beautiful scenery in Spring Breeze. Lu Jiangbai had noticed her a long time ago, but he did not know that she was the lady boss. After all, it was his first time coming to Spring Breeze, and his attention was focused on saying goodbye to his ex-girlfriend just now.
"It's getting late, we should go back," Lin Su said to Qin Sheng gently.
Qin Sheng introduced naturally, "This is my wife, Lin Su. This is the result of me believing in love."
Facing such a beautiful lady boss with such a temperament, Lu Jiangbai was stunned. He was obviously very surprised. At this moment, he felt that the boss and lady boss in front of him should not be ordinary people.
Lin Su smiled and nodded at Lu Jiangbai, then turned around and rolled her eyes at Qin Sheng. No wonder Le Le and An An gave Qin Sheng the nickname of Crazy Wife Show Off. He was showing off his love everywhere. However, Lin Su enjoyed it very much, because Qin Sheng only had eyes for her.
"Thank you, boss. I should go too. Next time you go to Beijing, you must contact me," Lu Jiangbai said with a smile. After chatting with this interesting boss for a while, his mood was much better. Although he knew that these days would not be easy, he also knew that time was the best antidote, and he also believed that he could get through these difficult days.
Qin Sheng stood up slowly and said, "Okay."
Leaning on his walking stick, Lin Su supported Qin Sheng. After the two of them greeted the staff and customers in the shop, they left Spring Breeze. After Qin Sheng left, Lu Jiangbai raised his head and drank the last bit of beer. He called the waiter over to settle the bill. After all, they had ordered a few cups of coffee and desserts just now. However, the waiter came over and told him that the boss had already waived the bill. Lu Jiangbai still stubbornly put 200 dollars on the table and left immediately.
The biggest gain from this trip to Xiamen was to meet this boss. He subconsciously felt that his story with the boss had not ended yet, and that there would be more interactions in the future.
Be it Qin Sheng or Lu Jiangbai, they naturally did not know that their story had just begun. In the near future, the name Lu Jiangbai would become a legend, and his benefactor and talent scout would be Qin Sheng.
It was already very hot in Xiamen in late April. Qin Sheng was wearing a casual sportswear, while Lin Su was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of slim fitting jeans. Her body proportions were very balanced, and her slightly perky butt and slender legs were the most attractive to men.
The neighborhood that Qin Sheng and Lin Su lived in was very close to the coffee shop. It was a ten-minute walk away. They lived on a high-rise near the sea, and they could see the sea when they opened the window. The scenery was the most beautiful at dusk.
Qin Sheng liked to take a stroll when he had nothing to do, treating it as a recovery exercise. He had already walked this road countless times, and was already familiar with the shop owners and stalls by the roadside. He knew everyone's family gossip. Along the way, he was greeted and teased by acquaintances, and Lin Su even jokingly scolded him that he was already an auntie from the neighborhood committee.
It was exactly nine o 'clock when they reached home. In order to let Qin Sheng recover as soon as possible, Lin Su was very strict with Qin Sheng's daily routine. He had to sleep at ten o' clock every day, wake up at seven o 'clock in the morning, eat breakfast, do morning exercises, take a walk, read books, practice calligraphy, listen to music, and so on. Lin Su arranged Qin Sheng's life in an orderly manner.
"I'm going to take a shower first." After entering the house, Lin Su washed a plate of fruits for Qin Sheng and poured a glass of milk for him, then went to take a shower.
Qin Sheng smiled and nodded. In three months, Lin Su had completely changed. From the young female CEO of an investment company, she had become a young housewife, cooking, working, and taking care of him every day. Qin Sheng felt a little guilty in his heart. This was not Lin Su's life, but she had changed herself for him. He was afraid that Lin Su would feel that life was boring, or that she would get tired of this kind of life one day.
Not long after, Lin Su came out of the bathroom with a bath towel wrapped around her, revealing the tender white skin of her neck and beautiful legs. Qin Sheng was already used to getting along with her like this. After all, they were already an old couple. However, it was a little awkward at the beginning, especially when Lin Su was bathing him. Qin Sheng could not accept it more or less. He could only rely on Lin Su for help, and the two of them were naked and their skin was touching, but he could not do anything. That kind of pain was understood by all men. However, he got used to it later. Some time ago, he could finally take care of himself, and did not have to suffer so much.
"Go and take a shower," Lin Su said casually while drying her hair.
Qin Sheng replied, "Oh." He put down his walking stick and walked to the bathroom. In fact, he could already walk without the walking stick, but the doctor in charge of his recovery did not recommend him to walk too early, otherwise it might relapse or leave behind sequelae. Lin Su was even more determined not to let him be complacent, so Qin Sheng would only throw away the walking stick when he was at home.
Just when Qin Sheng was about to walk into the bathroom, Lin Su looked back and smiled, "Do you need my help?"
Qin Sheng was shocked and almost fell down. He quickly said, "No, no, no, I can do it."
Qin Sheng's embarrassed look made Lin Su laugh coquettishly. After that, she entered the bedroom.
When Qin Sheng came out of the shower, Lin Su was already lying on the bed. In the beginning, Qin Sheng and Lin Su slept separately, because Lin Su was afraid that she would touch Qin Sheng's wound at night. It was not until they came to Xiamen that they slept in the same room. However, nothing happened. Even if Qin Sheng's desire was unbearable and impulsive, Lin Su would not agree to it. However, Lin Su had already promised that when Qin Sheng's body recovered completely, he could do whatever he wanted by then. This was the biggest motivation for Qin Sheng to recuperate from his injury. Currently, their married life could only be said to be in name only. However, sleeping on the same bed and taking advantage of each other was still possible. Lin Su also tacitly agreed to this as a reward for Qin Sheng.
Lin Su was reading a book. After Qin Sheng lay down, Lin Su opened her mouth and said, "Doctor Zhao called me and said that from tomorrow onwards, you can start training with the equipment. Two hours a day. I'll send you over then."
"Okay, you've worked hard," Qin Sheng looked at Lin Su and said happily.
Lin Su put down the book and stared at Qin Sheng. "You're saying such things again. It's my duty to take care of you. Don't always feel guilty. If you say such things again in the future, I'll really be angry."
"Alright, alright, my dear wife, I'll do as you say," Qin Sheng quickly admitted his mistake.
Lin Su said coquettishly, "That's more like it. However, I have something to do tomorrow evening, so I can't cook for you. I've already told Auntie Tang, you can just put up with a meal at their house."
"Okay, got it," Qin Sheng smiled and nodded. Auntie Tang was their neighbor. She lived alone with a pair of children. The relationship between the two families was very harmonious.
Lin Su said in surprise, "Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do tonight?"
"Don't tell me your next sentence is that you don't even care about me?" Qin Sheng found it funny.
Lin Su snorted coldly and did not continue on this topic. She knew that Qin Sheng trusted her completely. As for what was going to happen tomorrow night, she really could not tell Qin Sheng. She was afraid that Qin Sheng would overthink, because Lin Yue had gone to Xiamen. She did not know how she got the news that she was in Xiamen and even got her new phone number. This girl was really capable.
"Go to sleep." Lin Su turned off the light.
Qin Sheng got up slightly and kissed Lin Su's forehead gently. "Good night."
"Good night."
