give you the universe

It was already the next morning when Shen Kuo woke up again.

The sun was too glaring, he squinted and lay on the bed for a long time before slowly recovering.

The memory came back little by little, thinking about last night from my resistance at the beginning to the sinking at the end... Shen Kuo closed his eyes, unable to bear to recall.

After a long time of stomach growling and mental construction, Shen Kuo finally plucked up the courage to open the door and go downstairs.

The house is quiet and quiet, and the living room is covered with carpets after winter, which is warmed by the floor heating.Shen Kuo stepped on the carpet with bare feet, took a glass of water to drink, and kept glancing at Lin Cheng's room.

"Master, you are up. Do you want to order the kitchen to prepare meals for you?"

Shen Kuo was startled by Uncle Hu's sudden sound. He let out a "hmm" and asked casually, "Where's Lin Cheng?"

"Master Lin? He left early in the morning, saying that the school suddenly notified that he needed to make up lessons, so he left early in the morning."

Shen Kuo's heart suddenly became uncomfortable, and he couldn't tell whether it was luck or disappointment.

After eating a meal, Shen Kuo didn't know the essence of it. When Shen Kuo returned to the bedroom, he felt that Lin Cheng still smelled like Lin Cheng after taking several showers.

He finally couldn't stand it anymore, closed his eyes and lay down on the bed weakly.

Some pictures in my mind floated up uncontrollably.

He seemed to have shot all over Lin Cheng's face last night...

Not only that, Lin Cheng swallowed it all in his face.

It was strange, he was so drunk that he was already out of his mind, yet Lin Cheng could hear the sound of swallowing clearly.

Shen Kuo didn't dare to think about it anymore, he turned over, picked up the phone and pressed 1 to dial out:

"What time is the nearest flight to America?"

Over there, Shen Jiran turned on the computer and searched, "Four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Order me one."

"Only the economy class is left, you see..."

"order."

"Did something happen in the United States? Do you need me to go with you?" Hearing Shen Kuo's anxious look, Shen Jiran silently went through the latest developments of several competitors, as if there was nothing wrong?Could it be that he has regressed recently?

"No, I'll just go and inspect it, as long as you're in the country."

"Yes." Shen Jiran silently asked his colleagues in the American branch to light a candle. Today, Shen Kuo spent more time visiting the United States than in the three years since he took office.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Kuo took out the suitcase, packed a few clothes casually, hesitated for a while, and took the pair of cufflinks that Lin Cheng gave him.

……

In the classroom, Lin Cheng lowered his head and was writing the test paper. Shi Xiaobao and Lu Ling quietly turned their heads to look at him several times but didn't notice.

"Lin Cheng..." Finally, Lu Ling broke the silence.

"Huh?" Lin Cheng didn't stop his subordinates, and hummed lightly as an answer.

"Don't work too hard, the teacher said, just finish writing this test paper before next Monday."

"Well, I know. I just want to finish it early and save some time to read the wrong questions again."

"Then you are working too hard, writing the test paper here without even going to eat. Even if my grandpa doesn't plan to give that piece of land to Young Master Shen, he won't be able to open the pot and afford you to go to college." ..."

"What did you say?" Lin Cheng finally stopped writing and raised his head, frowning, "Speak clearly."

"That's it..." Seeing Lin Cheng frowning for the first time, Lu Ling was taken aback, and realized that he seemed to have said something that shouldn't be said, and his confidence was much weaker: "It's what Young Master Shen wants." My grandfather didn't want to give him that piece of land at first, so he proposed to cooperate with the Gu family to give him that piece of land, in order to let him retreat. As a result, Young Master Shen really did it, and there must have been some mediation at that time. Grandpa agreed. But recently the second master of the Shen family has been running home all the time. I saw what grandpa meant, and I probably want to give them the land..."

"My grandpa thinks that Young Master Shen is too utilitarian. The land was my grandma's dowry at the beginning, and he didn't want to just commercialize it like this. It seems that Second Master Shen invited several foreign designers to design the land according to his grandfather's Grandma's love story was planned to be very romantic, and then grandpa got a little loose..." Lu Ling probably felt that his family was in the wrong, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to look into Lin Cheng's eyes.

Lin Cheng didn't say anything after listening. He stared out the window thoughtfully for a long time, and finally said, "Lu Ling, would you like to tell me the love story of your grandparents?"

……

A month later.

"grandfather!"

"Haha, Lingling is back, do you miss Grandpa?"

"I think! Grandpa, this is my classmate. He...he has something to say to you."

Lin Cheng stood up, bowed his head, and said politely, "Grandpa Lu, I'm Lin Cheng."

Old Master Lu looked him up and down, Lin Cheng was not timid, he stood there straight and let him watch.

"Young man, what do you want from me? Say it first, if I marry Lingling, I won't agree."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about!" Lu Ling blushed, chopped off her legs and ran away.

Lin Cheng smiled, "Grandpa Lu, let's talk in the study."

……

Half an hour later, old man Lu silently flipped through the stack of papers in front of him, and finally heaved a long sigh with reddened eyes.

Lin Cheng saw that the old man was lost in his memories, so he didn't bother, and waited quietly.

"The future is terrifying..."

After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Lu broke the silence.

"Okay, as long as you follow this plan, this land is yours."

Hearing these words, Lin Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.The sweater on the back was already wet with sweat. The design draft he brought this time was designed by himself based on the stories he heard from Lu Ling.

He didn't understand design, so he had to bring professional books from the library.He didn't know how to draw pictures, so he tried to use words instead.

Even if he finally settled everything and sat here, his heart would still be beating non-stop.I was afraid that if I didn't do a good job, it would have a counterproductive effect, causing Shen Kuo to completely lose that piece of land.

Fortunately, everything finally went smoothly.

Finally, I can do something for you too.

Before he knew it, it was evening, and Lu Ling and Mr. Lu wanted to stay with Lin Cheng to finish their meal. Lin Cheng thanked him again and again but insisted on going back to school. He missed so much in his homework this month that he had to make up for it quickly.

Back at school, seeing the bustling campus, Lin Cheng belatedly realized that today is Christmas Eve.

The pine trees on campus were covered with lights and red decorations by female students, and some students from the student union stood under the trees and handed out peace fruits.Lin Cheng looked surprised and couldn't help but go up and ask for one.

"It's snowing!" Someone shouted.Lin Cheng raised his head, and sure enough, there was a little bit of white falling down.

Lin Cheng pulled the zipper of the down jacket to the highest point, and suddenly thought that at this time last year, he was still worrying about not having enough money to buy cotton clothes, but this year...

He couldn't help but think of that person again.

The liveliness of the surroundings further accentuated my loneliness, and the emotions I usually tried to suppress seemed to run out of the rein on the festival night.

Lin Cheng couldn't help but walked to a place where there were few people. The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and there was gradually snow on the ground.

"Crack." Suddenly, no one knew who threw a snowball at him.Lin Cheng turned his head and froze in place.

Was it because he was thinking too deeply that he had hallucinations?Why did that man suddenly stand there and smile at him?

Lin Cheng pinched himself hard, it hurts, it's true.

The Christmas atmosphere in the United States is much stronger than that in China.The company was on holiday, and Shen Kuo had nothing to do by himself, so he simply went to the bar to drink.

After three glasses of wine, Shen Kuo realized that he had picked a guy randomly.

Shen Kuo has an excellent appearance and a dignified appearance. Many people who prefer oriental faces can't help but come over to strike up a conversation.

"Hello?"

Shen Kuo turned his head and saw a white man wearing black tights.Looking young, it seems that he is still underage.

"Do you want to..." the little shou asked while leaning against Shen Kuo.The pungent smell of perfume hit his face, and Shen Kuo became obsessed with cleanliness, so he turned his head and left regardless of whether he could stand still.

In fact, it's not that his perfume smells pungent, it's just that Shen Kuo is used to the smell of Lin Cheng's milk shower gel, and he can't bear the smell of others.

He didn't want to stay in the bar anymore, he paid the bill, and walked aimlessly on the street alone.

People were coming and going on the street, and Shen Kuo bumped into someone accidentally.

"Sorry, I..."

He paused halfway through the sentence, why is it Lin Cheng?

Blinking again, it was a boy with blond hair and blue eyes.

Seeing his distraught look, the boy smiled and patted him on the shoulder and walked away.

Shen Kuo stood alone for a long time, became ruthless, and booked the earliest flight back home.Seeing Lin Cheng blankly forgetting about him now, Shen Kuo felt,

It's all worth it.

"What are you doing in a daze." Shen Kuo rubbed another snowball and threw it over, "Santa Claus has given you a gift."

Lin Cheng felt like waking up from a dream, and returned a snowball not to be outdone, and the two people who combined their ages to nearly half a century had been arguing in the snow for a long time.

"Okay, let's go up." Shen Kuo rubbed Lin Cheng's head like before, thought for a while and added a Chinese parent's favorite official phrase, "Study hard."

Lin Cheng couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "Get your things, hurry up, don't freeze." Shen Kuo insisted on seeing him go upstairs before he would leave. Lin Cheng was afraid that he would freeze, so he obediently went upstairs.

After entering the dormitory, Lin Cheng turned on the light, quietly pulled up a corner of the curtain and looked down.Shen Kuo was still standing there, looking up to his side.

After confirming that the light was on was Lin Cheng's dormitory, Shen Kuo turned around and walked outside.

Lin Cheng watched him walk away, then turned back and opened the gift Shen Kuo gave him, which was a red sweater.Tried it on and it was just the right size.

Lin Cheng was lying on the bed wearing a sweater, feeling his body that was still a little cold just now warm up.

Like Shen Kuo to him,

I was in darkness, but when I met you, there was light.
