Second-Hand Love Letter

ish speech competitions, participated in several summer camps for high school students abroad.

There were a lot of girls secretly stuffing love letters inside his desk, especially recently.
They were already in their third year of senior high school, if they didn’t confess they had no chance to do so anymore.

But he wasn’t interested in any of them and all of them were seriously refused.

Every time he received a letter, he couldn’t help but think of Lu Yong, thinking that Lu Yong would sometimes stare at him in a daze.
The thought of him made his heart blush and his heart thump.

Shen Wenqiu was distracted and said dazedly as if he was sighing, “…I don’t think I can compare to Lu Yong.”

Sheng Xu thought it was too absurd, “Huh?”

Shen Wenqiu didn’t know how to describe it, and said sincerely, “Lu Yong is so good and my family is just a little rich.”

Shen Wenqiu remembered that at that time he actually felt lucky that his family had money.
Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to be friends with Lu Yong.

They were clearly of the same age, he was born a few months later than Lu Yong, why were they so different? Lu Yong had determination and was a man of action while he was just going with the flow to be an honour student in the eyes of parents and teachers, not knowing what the meaning of his life was.

When he was young, he always looked forward to growing up and felt that when he grew up everything would be solved and he would naturally discover his own values ​​and ideals.

But after so many years, he would be thirty in two years.
Let alone the meaning of life, he hadn’t even grasped the courage to live.

This trip to Y town was not a smooth one.

The boss changed his plan.
As a secretary, of course, he listened to the boss and went back together.

After that night, the two of them were very awkward at first.
But after a few days, they gradually got along with each other more naturally.
It was like the accident in the town of Y was forgotten.
Shen Wenqiu thought, probably because Lu Yong had a difficult new goal to achieve.
He had to go all out and indulge in work.
Naturally, he had no time for private life.

After returning, the cold air came and the weather suddenly became cold.

It rained for several days.

Shen Wenqiu didn’t have any clothes, so he put on Lu Yong’s first.
But Lu Yong’s size was too big, so he was deliberately taken to buy clothes.
They went straight to the famous clothing store as soon as he entered the mall.

Shen Wenqiu stood at the door and didn’t want to go in and asked, “What do you want?”

Lu Yong said, “It’s winter, and you have no clothes to wear.
It’s time to buy clothes.”

Shen Wenqiu was speechless for a long time and said, “…The clothes here are at least over ten thousand per piece.
Do you know?”

Lu Yong said “En” as a matter of course.

Lu Yong mentioned, “Next week is my dad’s birthday.
Let’s go back together.
You have to have new clothes.”

“It’s Uncle’s birthday?” Shen Wenqiu was stunned and asked.
He couldn’t remember after so many years, only about Lu Yong, he remembered clearly, “But isn’t this has nothing to do with buying me expensive clothes? You should buy new clothes for Uncle instead.”

Lu Yong just wanted to buy good quality clothes for Shen Wenqiu.
He thought hard but couldn’t think of a good reason and said stupidly, “You wear it to show my dad.
That’s how he’ll know you’re living well with me.”

And added, “It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive, you look good in it.”

Shen Wenqiu blushed, “It’s not like that, it’s all the same.
And you don’t usually buy expensive ones yourself, so why buy them for me?”

Lu Yong has always adhered to the principle of “to be diligent and thrifty” taught by his father when he was a child.
He was stingy since he was a child, so he was ridiculed by his classmates.
His father told him, “Don’t learn from those people.
They spend money simply once they have a little money.
Saving money is an honourable thing and being stingy is not shameful at all but we have to figure out what we are being stingy for.
Just like father, father is also stingy.
Father takes all the money and gives it to your mother by being stingy.
We are stingy so that our family can live a good life.”

Lu Yong himself had no material desires and the habit of being stingy was just because he was used to being stingy.
Now that Shen Wenqiu was back with him, he especially wanted to spend his money for Shen Wenqiu.

Being stingy, stingy, the essence of being stingy was to be stingy about yourself and not about your wife.
The money was to be used for the wife.
Lu Yong thought silently in his heart and suddenly felt depressed again.

… Shen Wenqiu didn’t want to have a relationship with him.

Lu Yong pulled him, “Buy it, it doesn’t matter.”

Shen Wenqiu was unhappy and dragged him away, “I’m not buying.
Isn’t it stupid to buy a coat at the mall? Just go online and buy it, it’s cheaper.
You didn’t even tell me before you came here, I thought it was just a meal.
you lied to me to buy such expensive clothes! I’m not buying it!”

Shen Wenqiu was scowling fiercely.
Once he got angry, Lu Yong immediately felt depressed.

Shen Wenqiu was angry and took the initiative to step away, while Lu Yong silently followed behind him.

Lu Yong had been holding back for a few days.
He felt that no matter what, he had slept with Shen Wenqiu, how could he say nothing at all? Shen Wenqiu could treat it as if nothing happened but he couldn’t.
He couldn’t wait to transfer all his deposits to Shen Wenqiu’s bank card.

In the end, they finally bought a black coat on the Internet.
Shen Wenqiu carefully selected it.
It was a discounted model, not more than 300 yuan.

When Lu Yong paid the money, he felt distressed and he felt that Xiao Baa was too pitiful.

He really wanted to give Shen Wenqiu the best things he could give.

Shen Wenqiu wore this new coat and went back to his hometown with Lu Yong to celebrate Father Lu’s birthday.

Father Lu now lived in a stray animal rescue centre in the countryside.
It was a rare sunny day when they arrived.
He washed a few dogs and was basking in the sun in the yard.
When he saw Shen Wenqiu coming, he was overjoyed, “Xiao Baa also came! Come over quickly!”

He was still wearing an apron and wiped his hands nervously, feeling a stench on his body.

Lu Yong wondered, ‘why is his father surprised?’ Then he said, “Didn’t you tell me on the phone to bring him here?”

Uncle Lu glared at him with a fierce look in his eyes, “If I didn’t tell you, you weren’t going to bring him here?”

Lu Yong answered decisively, “I will bring him.
I definitely can’t leave him at home alone, I will take him with me.”

Shen Wenqiu was looking at a dog following Uncle Lu.
The dog was sitting on the ground, looking up at him and panting.
The corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling and his tail kept wagging, “*Woof Woof!*”

‘What do you mean by taking me with you?’ Shen Wenqiu felt a little embarrassed and wondered, ‘am I some kind of small dog or cat?’
