Chapter 2 – Name

 

The street lights on the highway are not very bright, and they are far away. When they shine on them, they make the shadows very long.

 

The man frowned slightly, moved his eyes from his face to the orange cat in his arms, and suddenly spoke.

 

“Where do you live?”

 

The man’s voice was a little deep, but very clear, as if it was hitting his eardrums directly.

 

Qi Xi stared at the man and was stuck. He just blurted out that he would send him home. In fact, he didn’t want to go back, but he didn’t know where to go.

 

The man didn’t get an answer and asked again: “Aren’t I going to take you home?”

 

He hesitated and panicked. If the man left, he might not be able to wait for the next person to help him all night. While he was searching in his mind for a way to go, he was afraid that the man would be impatient and leave him, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold the man.

 

As a result, he temporarily forgot about the injury to his hand, and when he lifted it up, he saw a strange scene of his palm hanging on his wrist. It also made his pain-sensing nerves instantly active, and his whole face wrinkled in pain.

 

“What’s wrong with your hand?”

 

The man noticed his hand, and he suddenly felt sad. 

 

“Just now, when your car came over… Anyway, I have no home to go back to. Can you take me to a hotel?”

 

The words he said sounded as if the injury to his hand was the man’s responsibility. The man was silent for a moment and then spoke firmly.

 

“Get in the car.”

 

Before Qi Xi could react, the man looked at his suitcase, picked it up easily with one hand without saying a word, and handed him the phone on it.

 

He took the phone, and the man carried the suitcase to the trunk without saying a word. The driver got out quickly and had to rush to open the trunk.

 

After putting the suitcase away, the man looked at Qi Xi again, “Let’s take you to the hospital first.”

 

The driver reminded him: “Mr. Fu, it’s almost 8 o’clock, and the chairman is still waiting for you to come home for dinner.”

 

“I said we will go to the hospital.”

 

The man’s voice suddenly dropped. Qi Xi felt that the man was a bit scary, so he subconsciously shrank back and hugged the orange cat tightly.

The driver didn’t dare to say anything more and stepped aside silently.

 

The man sat in the car, stared at him through the car door and said, “Come up.”

 

Qi Xi suddenly regretted it, feeling that the man was not sending him to the hospital, but was kidnapping him to commit fraud.

But the man’s words could not be refuted. He moved cautiously towards the back seat door. When he raised his feet to get in the car, he suddenly met the man’s eyes again. He was so frightened that he quickly retracted his feet, rushed to the passenger seat and quickly opened the door and got in.

 

After buckling his seat belt, Qi Xi still didn’t dare to turn around and said, “Mr. Fu, I don’t dare to sit with you. Can I sit here?”

 

The man didn’t answer, and he didn’t dare to look, so he grabbed the orange cat. He stretched his head into the back seat, then took the cat’s head back and asked the orange cat what he saw.

The orange cat meowed.

 

They arrived at the nearest hospital arrived soon. Qi Xi thought the man would leave after he dropped him off, but the man silently accompanied him to register.

 

While waiting in line, he mustered up the courage to ask curiously: “Mr. Fu, aren’t you going home for dinner?”

The man stared at him with lowered eyes, “Isn’t your phone broken? Do you have cash?”

 

Qi Xi instantly felt that although the man was serious, he is actually a good person. Sure enough, good-looking people are good people.

He laughed happily, “If you didn’t tell me, I’d almost forgot. I don’t have money to see a doctor. Can you lend it to me first?”

 

The man didn’t answer him, but when he finished registering and wanted to pay, he took the initiative to step forward. He paid the money, took his registration form, looked at it, and stared at him again.

 

“Qi Xi. Is today your birthday?”

 

Qi Xi stared back unexpectedly and nodded, “Yes.”

 

The man was silent for a moment and suddenly said: “Happy birthday.”

 

Qi Xi was stunned, and the people walking around him were also stunned. The people became an illusory background, and he looked straight at the man.

He wasn’t sad that no one remember his birthday, he wasn’t sad that his dad kicked him out on his birthday, he wasn’t sad that his house was sold by his uncle and he was homeless.

 

At this moment, his nose was extremely sore because of the stranger’s sudden “Happy Birthday”.

 

Qi Xi tried hard to smile at the man opposite him, but his smile was ugly and forced. Finally, he pursed his lips and said, “You are the first person to say happy birthday to me today. Thank you. I wish you happiness too.”

 

The man looked at him carefully again. Staring at him without saying anything, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. He took it out, took a look at it, and handed him the registration form, “You go first, I’ll answer the phone.”

 

Qi Xi took the registration form. Before he could say anything, the man had already took his phone and walked away. Because they’re in the hospital, the orange cat was left in the car, so he had to queue up alone.

 

There were not many people in the emergency room at night. Qi Xi waited for a while before a doctor arrived. He rushed into the clinic and saw the doctor. As if he were a fellow villager, he gave his hand to the doctor with tears in his eyes.

 

“My hand is broken, doctor.”

 

He endured the pain for so long. The doctor stared at his hand calmly and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not broken, it’s just dislocated.”

 

“Really?”

 

Qi Xi asked. At about the same time, the doctor picked up his hand and asked him, “What did you eat at night? How did it taste?”

 

“What did I eat?”

 

Before he could finish his words, the doctor squeezed his hand and twisted it quickly. He immediately froze like a puppet. It wasn’t until the doctor said it was okay that he finally moved his eyes. When he saw his hand returned to its original position, he yelled belatedly.

 

“Ah!”

 

“Take it.”

 

The doctor handed Qi Xi’s diagnosis and treatment sheet. He subconsciously took it and asked the doctor, “What’s next?”

 

“You can go.”

 

Qi Xi carefully touched his dislocated wrist and asked the doctor uncertainly, “Is it really okay? Is it just fine like this? No need for further treatment.”

 

“No.”

 

“Will it hurt again in the future? What if it falls off again?”

 

The doctor was helpless. He replied politely: “Hands are not toys. They won’t fall off casually. Please go.”

 

“Oh.” Qi Xi felt the doctor’s disgust and turned around to go out. At the door, he saw the man who had called back. When he saw him came out, he looked at him with the same eyes that had been staring at him as before.

 

He ran over excitedly, stretched out his wrist in front of the man’s eyes, and praised the doctor’s wonderful rejuvenation.

 

After hearing this, the man’s face showed no expression and asked him, “What else do you need?”

 

“The doctor said I can go.”

 

“Let’s go.”

 

“Do you want to get some medicine?”

 

The man turned around immediately, and Qi Xi felt that the man seemed to be answering. He made an unhappy phone call and ran to follow him.

 

The car stopped on the roadside outside the hospital, and the driver was waiting for them in the car. The man finally stopped beside the car, and Qi Xi chased him all the way and finally caught up.

 

The man asked him again, “Where are you going?”

 

Qi Xi stood in front of the man and hesitated for a while before answering, “It’s better to stay in the hotel. I have no home to go back to.”

 

The man didn’t say anything, opened the car door, and got in the car.

 

The orange cat who was left in the car took the opportunity to jump out and pounce on Qi Xi. Qi Xi hugged the cat and hesitated in front of the back seat door for two seconds before sitting in.

 

The car door closed, and the driver in front of him promptly asked: “Mr. Fu, which hotel are we going to?”

The man asked Qi Xi with his eyes. Qi Xi replied that he didn’t know. He directly said: “Find a hotel nearby.”

 

Qi Xi did not want to go and stay alone. 

After passing a hotel, he didn’t know where to find a better one, so he agreed with the man’s decision.

He held the cat and looked at the man, before saying carefully: “The money you just paid will be returned to you when my mobile phone is repaired.”

 

The man glanced at him, and Qi Xi organized some words and then said: “But my mobile phone is broken. I don’t have money to repair it, can you lend me money to repair the phone first?”

 

The man looked at him carefully again, but this time his eyes were a little different, as if he was doubting him.

He shyly shrank toward the car door, and the man suddenly agreed, “Okay.”

 

“Thank you, Mr. Fu, you are such a good person!”

 

The driver quickly drove to the nearest five-star hotel and stopped at the hotel gate.

 

The hotel doorman came over and opened the door. Qi Xi was shocked when he looked out. He had never stayed in a hotel himself, but he still knew the price difference between hotels. He didn’t have enough money to stay in this hotel for one night.

 

The moment the car door opened, he immediately pulled  back. He turned to the man next to him and said, “I can’t stay here, I don’t have enough money!”

 

The driver maintained his professionalism and just glanced back secretly, not understanding what was going on. What is the situation?

 

If it were anyone else, looking at Qi Xi’s appearance, he would think that it might be the lust of a rich person. But Fu Yanchuan was as harsh to him as a robot, even more abstinent than a monk.

But if he didn’t have any ideas, they had already left before, but he suddenly asked him to drive the car back.

 

Moreover, as the only son of this generation of the Fu family, Fu Yanchuan defeated all his uncles and became the president of the group at the age of 23. In just 5 years, he became a powerful figure that everyone knows in the shopping mall business. His time is usually measured in minutes, so why should he accompany a stranger to the hospital and look for a hotel?

 

The doorman outside felt that someone was pulling the car door opposite him, and he stood there strangely. Qi Xi quickly pressed down the car window to apologize, “Sorry, I don’t live here, so I’m disturbing you.”

 

After he finished speaking, he closed the car window again. The driver asked his boss with his eyes.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

The man ordered the driver first, and then asked Qi Xi, “Where do you want to stay?”

 

“A cheaper one. I heard from my classmates that there is a hotel that costs 100 a night.”

 

The man asked the driver uncertainly, “Is there one?”

 

The driver quickly replied: “Yes, yes -” 

 

“Find that hotel.”

 

After receiving the order, the driver drove out and around the road, finally finding a hotel that looked good and cheap.

 

There was no doorman here, so Qi Xi drove down by himself and went to the trunk to get the suitcase, but he couldn’t take it out for a long time.

Suddenly a hand that was obviously bigger than him stretched out, took his suitcase and lifted it down easily. He said gratefully: “Thank you, Mr. Fu.”

 

The man didn’t say anything again. He simply put the suitcase on the ground and glanced at him. Qi Xi hurriedly pulled the suitcase back. He wasn’t sure what the man was thinking. He tentatively dragged the suitcase and walked towards the hotel door. After taking two steps, he immediately turned back. He was relieved when he saw the man following him.

Because he has no money, he can’t stay there unless the man comes.

 

The front desk of the hotel was drowsily scrolling through her mobile phone, and suddenly her eyes lit up when he saw the two people coming in.

 

Qi Xi patted his ID on the counter and asked, “How much does your room cost?”

 

“What kind of room do you want?”

 

“The cheapest one.”

 

The front desk looked at Qi Xi unconsciously, and then turned her eyes to the other man who was standing there. Laughing at the man half a meter away, neither of them were dressed like people ought to be staying in a cheap hotel like this.

She looked back at Qi Xi strangely and said: “The cheapest one is 158 per night.”

 

“It’s so expensive! Isn’t there anything cheaper?”

 

“This is already the cheapest.”

 

Qi Xi pushed the certificate over, “Okay then.”

 

“How many days do you want to stay?”

 

“One day, but please wait.”

 

After answering, Qi Xi looked at the man again, hugged the cat and said sheepishly: “Mr. Fu, can you lend it to me first? The money to stay in the hotel?”

 

The front desk glanced at the man again and looked at the two of them, getting more and more curiously. Seeing that the man had no intention of speaking, she took the initiative and said: “You have to pay a deposit of 300, a total of 458.”

 

Looking at the man, he didn’t know what he would do if the man didn’t lend him money. He will sleep on the street while continuing his search to find shelter.

 

After two minutes of awkward silence, the driver hurriedly ran in, stood in front of the man, and handed over a wad of cash.

 

The man handed it to Qi Xi, “Is it enough?”

 

“Huh?” Qi Xi was shocked when he took the money. The stack of banknotes was at least ten or twenty thousand. He quickly shook his head, “I don’t need so much, I can’t afford it.”

He then immediately calculated his account, “I just spent 45 in the hospital and 458 in the hotel. Total… four hundred and ninety, no, it’s four hundred and ninety…”

 

“503.”

 

The man calculated the answer for him, and he immediately praised him, ” Mr. Fu, you are so awesome!”

 

Before the powerful Mr. Fu could say anything, he had already turned back and continued to settle accounts, “Except for the deposit of 300, the total is 203. If you lend me another 200 to repair the mobile phone, it will be 403. Then you can borrow 500 in total. “

 

Finally, Qi Xi counted out 500, returned all the remaining money to the man, turned around and handed 500 to the front desk to pay the room fee.

The front desk asked him to charge 42, and he suddenly froze, “Where is the money to repair my mobile phone?”

 

The front desk lady almost laughed. She really couldn’t stand such a stupid person, but looking at Qi Xi’s face, she felt that she could be forgiven, so she kindly reminded him, “The deposit will not be refunded until you check out.”

 

“Yes, I forgot!”

 

Qi Xi finally reacted and turned to the man again, “Mr. Fu, can you lend me another 200?”

 

The man was silent. Staring at him, after a while, he handed him two banknotes. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Thank you, Mr. Fu, you are such a good person!”

 

Qi Xi thanked the front desk and borrowed paper and pen, and wrote an IOU with respectful hands. He handed it to the man, “Mr. Fu, thank you for today. Here is my phone number. Can you also leave me your phone number? I will pay you back when I repair the phone.”

 

The man took the IOU and saw The font which is a little surprising. Qi Xi doesn’t look very smart, but his handwriting is good. He just wrote his name as “Mr. Fu”.

He frowned slightly and picked up the pen that was still on the counter, “Give me your hand.”

 

Qi Xi handed over his hand obediently like a primary school student. The man grabbed his hand and started writing. He couldn’t help but laugh and wanted to pull his hand away, ” It’s tickling.”

 

The man didn’t let go. He grabbed his hand and wrote the phone number on the palm of his hand, then added his name after a pause.

 

“Fu Yanchuan? Is that your name?”

 

Qi Xi touched the powerful words on his palm. Fu Yanchuan didn’t reply and turned around and left the hotel. He hurriedly chased him out and waved at the door.

 

“Fu Yanchuan, goodbye!”

 

Fu Yanchuan returned to the car and threw away the remaining stack of banknotes. The moment the driver closed the door, he picked up the IOU written by Qi Xi, looked at it for a moment and crumpled it into a ball. He threw it in the trash.

But the moment he threw it, he froze, took it back and put it into his coat pocket. Then he found a chocolate candy in the storage box of the car and peeled it into his mouth.

 

In ancient times, the Fu family would have been a wealthy family with strict family rules. In modern times, there probably are no clean feudal remnants.

 

The car stopped in the courtyard of a Chinese-style villa. The housekeeper had been waiting at the door. When he saw the car, he came over and opened the door.

 

Fu Yanchuan glanced outside and paused for a moment before getting out of the car.

 

There are ancient carvings inside the gate. Passing through is the entrance hall that looks simple but extremely thoughtful, and further inside is the living room for receiving guests.

 

There was no one on the entire first floor at this moment. Fu Yanchuan looked across the living room to the dining room on the other side. No one was dining anymore.

 

The butler who opened the door just now came over and said softly to him, “Sir, the chairman is in the study.”

 

“I got it.”

 

Fu Yanchuan took off his coat and handed it to the butler, then walked upstairs.

 

The room where the stairs turned to the left was his father’s study. When he walked to the door, he saw that there was a crack in the door, so he pushed the door open and went in.

 

The study room is entirely made of mahogany, which is so heavy and dull that it makes people feel depressed. The man in his late sixties looks very young. He is sitting on the chair behind the desk, flipping through today’s evening paper in his hand.

 

　　”Dad.”

 

Fu Yanchuan called out. Fu Zhenrong didn’t respond. He didn’t move his eyes until he finished reading the newspaper. He glanced at the clock in the room with his peripheral vision, “It’s past ten o’clock. Where have you been?”

 

“There’s someone on the road. There was a car accident and the traffic jamdelayed us further.”

 

“Why was the traffic jam so long?”

 

Fu Zhenrong saw through Fu Yanchuan’s lies, lit a cigar and stood up, walking to Fu Yanchuan, “Yanchuan, I was the one who taught you how to lie.”

 

Fu Yanchuan lowered his eyes and didn’t reply. Fu Zhenrong patted him on the shoulder as if he didn’t care, but his eyes darkened and said, “Uncle He and his daughter have been waiting for you for a long time today. It’s very embarrassing for you to do this. If you refute onto his face, how can we cooperate in the future?”

 

“I don’t need a blind date.”

 

Fu Zhenrong suddenly smiled, “Who told you it was a blind date? Miss He’s family background and education match yours, so she is a suitable candidate to be your wife. You guys meet first , get engaged after that year, get married when you are 30, and you can have your first child the next year.”

 

Fu Yanchuan suddenly clenched his fists, “I have no plans to get married.”

 

Fu Zhenrong put out his cigar and stared at him, his face darkened, “You don’t plan to get married? Don’t tell me you’re still thinking about that Qiao Ye!”

 

Fu Yanchuan took a deep breath, and Fu Zhenrong chuckled nonchalantly, “I didn’t think about it back then. I shouldn’t had agreed to let you study abroad for those two years, and let the two of you meet and do all of those mistakes. Not to mention that he is a man, even if he is a woman, you and him will not be able to be together in this life!”

 

“I know, he doesn’t like ne anymore either.”

 

“Why should he!”

 

Fu Zhenrong was angrier at others looking down on his son than Fu Yanchuan’s disobedience. He slapped his hand on the desk, calmed down for a moment and said in his usual tone: “Let’s go eat first. I’ll ask Uncle He to bring Xiaojie here another day.”

 

Fu Yanchuan glanced at Fu Zhenrong and turned around in silence.

 

The dishes on the table in the dining room downstairs were re-arranged. Fu Yanchuan went downstairs and the housekeeper served him a meal.He sat down and the housekeeper whispered comfort beside him, “Sir, Miss He’s daughter was your classmate in elementary school. At that time, you also like to play with her.”

 

“Really?”

 

Fu Yanchuan’s tone showed no emotion, but the housekeeper shuddered subconsciously. It might be his innate aura. Even though he has been the housekeeper of the Fu family for more than 30 years, she has no deep emotion for the Fu family. The father and son of the Fu family were still instinctively frightened.

Seeing Fu Yanchuan pick up his chopsticks to eat as if nothing had happened, he thought for a long time and said: “What the chairman picks for you is always the best, and you can’t suffer the loss, so why would you try to go against him?”

 

Yanchuan did not answer. In fact, he had lived for 28 years and had almost never disobeyed Fu Zhenrong. It was almost because when he was 18 years old, he tried his best to persuade Fu Zhenrong to go abroad as an exchange student with Qiao Ye.

 

The housekeeper didn’t dare to speak anymore. He watched Fu Yanchuan go upstairs after only a few bites and sighed silently. As the saying goes, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. No matter how rich a family is, there are still conflicts.

 

The main building of the courtyard has three floors in total. The second floor is Fu Zhenrong’s territory. Fu Yanchuan’s room is on the third floor. The study and gym are together, occupying half of the entire floor.

The bedroom was on the south side, facing the garden outside. Fu Yanchuan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the sparkling light outside through the glass. A flamboyant and rebellious smiling face appeared in his mind, which was 67% similar to Qi Xi’s. .

 

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the image in his mind disappeared. He then said, “Come in.”

 

The housekeeper walked into the room lightly and handed him a crumpled note, “Sir, this was found in your clothes. I don’t know if it’s something important.”

 

Fu Yanchuan immediately remembered Qi Xi’s appearance. When he and Qiao Ye met, Qiao Ye took his hand and wrote his name and phone number in his palm.

As if the touch of Qi Xi’s hand still remained in his palm, he unfolded the crumpled IOU, and when he saw Qi Xi’s phone number on it, he asked abruptly: “Uncle Quan, is two hundred enough to repair a phone?”
