Intoxication

Chapter 5 Two Assholes from The Same Pod

Chapter 5 Two Assholes from The Same Pod

He Gu rushed around the construction site for several days to solve the problem of a load-bearing wall structure. During this period, the building designer and the contractor argued almost into a fight. Every day he came home, he felt that his whole body had lost his outer skin. From the inside out, the problem was just solved temporarily. He could relax for a few more days.

When he was at home, he turned on the computer as usual, searched for the latest news of Song Ju Han and visited Song Ju Han's Weibo and forums. He usually has no things to do or hobbies, at most he would be reading a book, staying health and fitness, the whole thing leads to a very boring person, the only stationary activities with understanding that is probably chasing stars. Of course, with him and Song Ju Han many years after being bed--companions, it is really not suitable to use the pursuit of celebrities to describe himself but he thinks that the relationship between the them is not far away from that definition, he silently pay attention to Song Ju Han's every move, stalking him in various ways, through various ways. However, Song Ju Han did not know and did not care, the biggest difference with ordinary people chasing celebrities and him chasing Song Ju Han, is nothing more than the fact that he has already slept with the said celebrity.

He Gu has a lot feeds which he is watching on the Internet, but he rarely post anything and he never likes anything. He just likes to watch things around him. He likes to watch some of the songs and photos of Song Ju Han collected by fans. Some he watches interviews, as well as those homemade small videos, cartoons, meme, etc., because he can't usually see Song Ju Han. What the fans have created is a very good and a very perfect Song Ju Han. This is not a person who He Gu knows and he certainly does not intend to dismantle it, because this perfect Song Ju Han is really fascinating and it is so good. Why would he destroying such a good thing?

There are hundreds of various information about Song Ju Han in his computer: photos, movies, mv, advertisements, interviews, etc. As long as it is about Song Ju Han if he finds it on the Internet he would end up saving it, he wants to save his memories in this way. Unexpectedly the thing that he has done about Song Ju Han, he even secretly recorded him when Song Ju Han was sleeping beside him, but he will not tell anyone about that.

Looking at a recent interview with Song Ju Han, the phone suddenly rang and he took it and looked at it, it was a strange number.

"Hello?"

"... He Gu?" The voice on the other end of the phone was hesitant. It was a young man whose voice was calm and nice.

He Gu heart tightened... this voice... Although it has not been heard for several years, he still knows who the person at the other end of the phone is. He takes a deep breath and leans back in the chair, trying to calm down as quietly as possible. He Gu said: "It is me."

"I am Feng Zheng."

"Well, I heard you."

"You still remember my voice, Ah"

"My memory has always been very good."

Feng Zheng smiled and said: "Same here."

He Gu felt a little awkward, even though he had already known that Feng Zheng had returned to China - from Song Ju Han's mouth, but he did not expect Feng Zheng to contact him again. After all, the two were not on good term when he left. But thinking about it, after so many years, everyone is not a student anymore. The thing that happened on that year should have been scattered to the wind. He slowed down his voice: "You are back home, I heard that you are doing investment?"

"You heard? Did you hear it from Song Ju Han?"

"Yeah." He Gu notice that Feng Zheng's tone was a bit wrong

Feng Zheng laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to be together for so long. I underestimated you."

He Gu didn't want to continue this topic with Feng Zheng: "Congratulations, I thought you would stay in the United States."

" China is still my home. I would be going back sooner or later." Feng Zheng said with a sigh of relief: "I came back now. How are you? What are you doing now?"

"I have been working in Nanchuang since I graduated and I have been doing my own profession."

"It really suits your personality." Feng said: "I am very curious about what you are like now, I also have... I haven't seen you in six or seven years?"

"Something like that." He Gu didn't wait for Feng Zheng to open his mouth and he took the initiative to said: "Please can we get together for a meal tomorrow."

Although He Gu can't be said to be humanized person, if he is hesitant, he seems to be tempted.

"Well, I was also trying to get together with you. How about this Saturday night? I just returned home, I don't know where one can go to eat delicious food."

"You think about it for a few days, what do you want to eat, I will take you there when I'm free."

"OK."

Hanging up the phone, he felt like he unloading weight. He threw the phone on the table and felt very tired. In fact, he didn't want to see Feng Zheng at all. It was all too troublesome. He Gu had some social phobia since he was a child. After getting this job, he changed his phobia to a lesser degree, but the interpersonal communication, he tried to avoid it and try to avoid being involved in anything, he prefers to eat instant noodles at home and is not willing to go out for a big meal.

But he knows that he can't do that to Feng Zheng.

In fact, from a certain point of view, Song Ju Han and Feng Zheng are somewhat similar. They are all proud as the sky. They have an eager to win way of thinking. If there was no competitive smell of gunpowder between Feng Zheng and Song Ju Han, from the very beginning, He Gu will not be able to arouse Song Ju Han's interest.

Has he and Feng Zheng not seen each other in a few years? He began to recall the past.

After he went to college, he and his former affiliated high schoolers were still in the same school district. The high school was not close to them, but the campus had only three canteens, so he and Song Ju Han could meet one or two times a month, even in order to see Song Ju Han a few times. Like the little fan girls in the school, he deliberately went to the second dining hall to eat.

When he was a freshman, he and Song Ju Han met a few times, but Song Ju Han could not remember him at all.

Later?

Later, Song Ju Han didn't finish the third year of High School. He went abroad to study music. Until his internship year, he never saw Song Ju Han. He only knew about the various news about Song Ju Han from entertainment reports. For example, he was always in a popular situation.

Le Godfather's daughter is dating him.

He was a guest at a world tour of some singer.

He composes a song for an award winning film.

He is a spokesperson for Greater China fashion brand.

He and his mixed-race supermodel mother participate in retro fashion show...

He Gu remembered that he was looking at the news reports and really realized what was called "The people from the two worlds" meaning. When he was still holding an internship salary of 800 yuan, Song Ju Han's father had gave an island to celebrate his son's rite of passage.

However, at that time, he had a really a star amazed mentality towards Song Ju Han, only because the two had had a single afternoon and it left him with deep affection for Song Ju Han. Although Song Ju Han, who is separated by screen or paper, looks so far away, He Gu has to wonder if that afternoon was a product of his own fantasy.

Later, when he was a senior intern, Song Ju Han returned to China and he also happened to know a school's schoolmate, Feng Zheng. Then, four months after graduation, He Gu hasn't seen Feng Zheng for six and a half years.

It's no use to figure out this. He Gu think it's funny. Maybe he wants to prove that he really remember Feng Zheng.

Good memory is really a mixed question. If you can selectively remember, then people can choose to remember the useful, forget sorrow, and useless things. The memories that Song Ju Han gave him is mixed with joy and sorrow. Even if he can really freely filter his memory, he will choose to remember Song Ju Han and his good parts bits.

Soon it was Saturday, He Gu booked a roast duck restaurant that has been opened for a few years, because Feng Zheng said that he wanted to eat authentic roast duck.

This roast duck restaurant is not known by many people, because the location is remote and difficult to find, the owners are a pair of old couples without children, they can make a few ducks dishes a day, but the taste is very good, they all rely on word of mouth, the restaurant box. There are only few available tables that's why He Gu phoned early, to actually to set a reservation

After stopping the car, he opened the umbrella and got off the car, took the wine out of the trunk and walked towards the intersection.

The weather in Beijing during this time was really annoying and the rain was going on and on, so He Gu couldn't remember when it was the last time he saw the blue sky.

He stood at the intersection and sent a text message to Feng Zheng, telling him that the place was not easy to find and he was waiting for him at the intersection.

For a long while, Feng Zheng returned an " OK" text back.

After waiting for twenty minutes, a gray Continental Limousine which looked like a list driver suddenly stopped in front of He Gu

The car just stopped one second before the car door was opened after the next second. A tall man walked out of the car without an umbrella.

He Gu stopped and Feng Zheng ran across the rain.

For six years, time has passed so fast. The man has all changed from a young boy to a socially-skilled person in a suit. Some intangible things are like a rain and fog between the two people, which makes He Gu feel a little heavy.

Feng Zheng's facial features have not changed much and he is still so beautiful. It's just that his temperament is a bit calmer and not a starry. It converges on three-point arrogance and four-point childishness looks, while the remaining three-point extravagance is more eye-catching. He wore a smart suit and a long trench coat, which made him look extraordinarily slender and straight.

The front door opened and the driver ran down with the umbrella to give Feng Zheng an umbrella.

Feng Zheng took the umbrella and said to the driver, "We are going to find a place to eat." His eyes have been staring at He Gu

He Gu coughed a little, looked up, smiled and reached out a hand: "Feng Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Feng Zheng also smiled and looked at him: "He Gu"

The moment he grasped his hand, Feng Zheng pushed it backward and pulled He Gu into his arms, then hugged him gently.

Somehow surprised, He Gu also politely patted his back.

Afterwards Feng Zheng let him go: "Why wait at the intersection, it is raining."

"That restaurant is not easy to find, the car would not be able to drive in, let's go." He Gu made a hurrying request.

Feng Zheng smiled at him and the two walked side by side.

" He Gu you look a bit tired without any spirit, have you been working too hard recently?"

"Doing engineering works, often leads to working overtime, I'm used to it."

"The body is the capital of the revolution. Don't work too hard. You said it yourself. If you have no family and not tired, you can spend the money for yourself and rest a bit."

He Gu laughed: "The money I have is enough, but the work is too much, sometimes...hey, work is for people anyway, that's all."

The two talked and by then they had already arrived at the roast duck restaurant. He Gu looked at the simple door and he put a few words on it: "You said that those famous shops don't serve delicious food to eat, let me take you to find authentic taste, your big brother is assuring you you won't dislike this place."

Feng Zheng ?smiled: "When we were in college, didn't we often eat skewers on the side of the road. If I really want to make a statement about disliking small places (shabby food shops) I definitely won't be saying it in front of you."

He Gu smiled: "Let's go, this place food is really delicious."

The two of them entered the box and sat down. There is no menu in this store. Besides the roast duck, what the boss wants to cook, what to eat , is quite simply his own decision.

He Gu brought a bottle of 1999 VOSNE ROMANEE... He Gu didn't I really understand the wine. But there were a lot of wines sent by Song Ju Han's assistant at his home. He took a bottle with him. He knew that Feng Zheng would probably like it.

Feng Zheng saw the wine and his mouth twitched: "Is this from Song Ju Han?" The tone was not very good.

He Gu felt a bit embarrassed: "Well... is it expensive?"

"It's okay, but it's not like you usually drink."

He Gu didn't pay attention to the harshness of Feng's words. He knew that the two people were not on good terms with each other. He was not interested in their petty quarrel: "If you don't like it..."

"Nothing, open it." Feng Zheng said lightly.

He Gu opened the wine and poured two glasses.

The two of them toasted each other and Feng Zheng looked at him: "Celebrate after a long time reunion."

"Celebrate a long time reunion."

The food came up one after another and the two chatted together while eating.

"Well, this roast duck is really delicious. I don't particularly like the fatty ducks. I don't know how many hormone food the ducks eat and they are ending up in the goose." Feng Zheng praised.

"The ducks on this family are raised at the owner's own home. They are all stocked in the countryside, so they are more expensive than the city ducks. I also don't like too fat on the roasted duck."

"Do you remember the barbecue shop in our school's east gate?" Feng Zheng wiped his hand and smiled and added: "I don't know if it is still there."

"There was no demolition there, the owner moved, but the mall is still there. The carts are so flexible. I saw them there when I was driving past the last time."

"Sometimes I really want to go back and try eating it, but now..." Feng Zheng looked at his suit and smiled at himself.

There are some emotions eords: "I am also embarrassed to queque up with a group of High School students."

Feng Zheng looked at him: "Time flies so fast, from then to now... Yes, Song Ju Han told you that me and him met?"

He Gu stopped eating and he was pretended to speak carelessly: "Well, he told me."

Feng Zheng narrowed his eyes: "It seems that you two still get along well."

" It's alright." He Gu felt some annoyed to Feng Zheng's side-baiting, he is not willing to talk to anyone about his relationship with Song Ju Han, especially Feng Zheng.

"But he is always in a sex scandals, don't you two often quarrel?"

He Gu put down the chopsticks and said plainly: "The scandals are all fake."

He said that not to excuse Song Ju Han, because it is indeed a fake and there was a girl who slept with Song Ju Han and wanted to date him in the open. Song Ju Han wanted a hidden thing. The anecdote that came out was related to all kinds of interesting stories He Gu know it Because Song Ju Han never bothered to lie to him.

Feng Zheng laughed. After laughing, he probably felt that it was not right. He just stayed silent but he still looked at He Gu with a playful look. He obviously does not believe his words.

He Gu swallowed a drink and thought about it. This is not really reliable thing when the one saying it is him. It seems that Feng Zheng if did not ask for a clear understanding today and he would not be willing to question what Song Just Han had told him.

He knew that Feng Zheng and Song Ju Han were the same kind of people. They used the elegance and cultivated prim and proper outerwear to wrap the inner vindictive and abusing behaviour. However, Feng Zheng's symptoms were much lighter than Song Ju Han's. At least his temper was better than Song Ju Han.

Sure enough, Feng Zheng supported his chin on his hand and looked at him with a smile. His eyes were sharp: "He Gu, He Gu are you still with Song Ju Han?"
