Chapter 42

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, which is a good time for spring outings, so Lu Jingyao and Ji Xiuran chose a free weekend to go for an outing on Mingyang Mountain together.

The altitude of Mingyang Mountain is not very high, and Lu Jingyao didn't dare to walk too fast because of Ji Xiuran's body. After a while, Ji Xiuran stopped to rest and sat on a rock to drink water, out of breath.

"Do you want to take the cable car? Or maybe we don't watch the sunrise." Lu Jingyao patted his back to help him relax, worried.

Ji Xiuran shook his head. The purpose of their trip was not only for outings, but also for the spectacular sunrise of Mingyang Mountain. Therefore, they also brought equipment for camping for one night. How could they return without success before reaching the top of the mountain?

After sitting and resting for a while, Ji Xiuran felt that he had regained some strength, so he stood up and continued walking up the mountain with Lu Jingyao. The closer to the top of the mountain, the fresher the air around him, and there were still people in twos and threes around, who seemed to be camping .

Finally reaching the top of the mountain, Ji Xiuran's clenched teeth were finally able to loosen. He and Lu Jingyao set up the tent together, found the food from the accompanying bag, opened a bag of sliced ​​bread, and handed a piece to Lu Jingyao.

As the evening approached, the sun gradually set. I planned to watch the sunset by the way, but the sky was slightly gloomy, and it seemed that it was going to rain.Sure enough, not long after, there was a thunderous sound in the ears, and everyone on the top of the mountain was stunned for a second, and then the heavy rain poured down, washing the whole world in an instant.

Lu Jingyao and Ji Xiuran hurriedly hid in the tent, the rain was pouring outside, and the chill approached the tent, Ji Xiuran shivered, and was pulled into Lu Jingyao's arms.

Ji Xiuran was a little depressed: "The weather is still sunny in the morning, but the weather always changes in spring."

Lu Jingyao changed his posture so that Ji Xiuran could lean more comfortably in his arms, took another coat and put it on him, and said, "Listening to the sound of rain on the mountain is a different experience."

Their tent has a small transparent window, through which they can see the scenery outside. At this moment, the rain is falling, and the water drops slide down the top of the tent, blurring the sight. Fortunately, the tent is waterproof enough, so there is no need to worry about the rain leaking Come in, but if the clouds are too heavy tomorrow morning, the sunrise may be ruined.

Ji Xiuran and Lu Jingyao lay hugging each other in the spacious tent. The sound of the rain was very close to them. In the darkness, Lu Jingyao's eyes looked extraordinarily bright. Ji Xiuran leaned over to lean on his shoulder and said muffledly, "When will the rain stop? ah?"

Lu Jingyao took Ji Xiuran's slightly cold hand, stuffed it on his chest to keep him warm, and said, "Thunderstorm, it will stop in a short time, and it will probably be very slippery when going down the mountain tomorrow, you have to follow me closely."

The sound of rain is an excellent hypnotizer, and sleepiness gradually came to him. Ji Xiuran yawned, squinted his eyes and hugged Lu Jingyao even tighter: "It's fine if you're here."

Lu Jingyao smiled when he heard the words: "Well, don't be afraid if I'm here, go to sleep."

Ji Xiuran closed his eyes peacefully, fell into a deep dream, and when he woke up again, he was pushed awake by Lu Jingyao.The rain outside did not know when it had stopped. Ji Xiuran walked out of the tent and stood in the open space. The darkness around him gradually dissipated. The sky suddenly broke, which was completely different from the sunrise on a sunny day. The sunrise after the rain was like rebirth. The sun broke through layers of dark clouds, There are thousands of rays of light, as if you can touch the red light in the sky with your hand.

There is a breeze in the ear, accompanied by the fresh grass and soil fragrance after the rain, take a deep breath, as if the whole person is deeply trapped in it, surrounded by the sky.

Although the heavy rain was majestic, it was worth the trip.

The road down the mountain was very slippery due to the rain, so Ji Xiuran was extra cautious. He held Lu Jingyao's hand tightly, stepped on the place he stepped on, and followed carefully step by step.

Occasionally, when he raised his head, he saw Lu Jingyao's serious and earnest side face. The hands holding each other could feel the warmth of each other's palms. Ji Xiuran smiled, and quietly tightened his fingers, grasping Lu Jingyao even more firmly.

There was still a day off on Sunday, and it was drizzling outside again. Ji Xiuran and Lu Jingyao didn't go anywhere. They nestled together on the bay window, listening to the sound of the rain while reading a book. In a daze, they returned to the hug in the tent last night. And sleep time.

Holidays always go by in a flash, and a new working day arrives again. After a busy period at the beginning of the new year, I finally have a little free time.Just before get off work time, Ji Xiuran sent a message to Lu Jingyao. He wanted to wait for him to have a good meal together, but he didn't get a reply, so he simply went upstairs to find him directly.

After entering the office, Lu Jingyao, who was sitting behind the desk, looked up. Ji Xiuran saw that he seemed to be busy, so he didn't make a sound, quietly walked to a few meters away from him, and stopped in his tracks.

In fact, Lu Jingyao did have something else to do. He was having a video conference with the branch in country C. When it came to a key point, each had their own ideas, so they were still arguing.

Lu Jingyao frowned and didn't speak, but quietly beckoned with Ji Xiuran's hand, letting him walk closer to him, which happened to be a blind spot, and the other party couldn't see it.Lu Jingyao grabbed Ji Xiuran's hand, caressed his palm distractedly, brushed his callused fingers over Ji Xiuran's soft fingertips, and showed a faint smile when he lowered his head.

After a long while, he said: "Okay, discuss this matter again, and report to me when you have the results. We are in a meeting, not a debate. Whose plan is more evidence-based and feasible, and whose plan is more feasible. Let's talk again."

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Jingyao shut down the video call with a snap, and stretched his waist: "This group of old-fashioned people insist on fighting for life and death. Have you been waiting for a long time, are you hungry?"

"That's right, so I have to eat some delicious compensation." Ji Xiuran shook his hand, helped him pick up the suit jacket on the back of the chair, and walked downstairs side by side.

After returning home after dinner, Lu Jingyao was boiling water in the kitchen, and Ji Xiuran was watching TV in the bedroom. Suddenly, Lu Jingyao's cell phone vibrated on the bedside table, and Ji Xiuran walked over to pick it up to have a look.

Caller: Mom.

Ji Xiuran was stunned, and then answered the phone: "Mom, it's me. He's in the kitchen. What's the matter? Grandpa and grandma have returned to China? That's it, okay. I'll tell him to come back sometime, good mother." goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiuran frowned suspiciously. Mother Lu's tone on the phone seemed a little hesitant to speak. Could it be that Lu Jingyao had something to hide from him?

Ji Xiuran walked to the kitchen with his mobile phone, shook the call log at him, and asked, "Why does Mom seem to be very nervous?"

Lu Jingyao took the phone and looked at it, unplugged the electric kettle, then put his arms around Ji Xiuran's shoulders, walked to the sofa with him and sat down, and said slowly, "Xiu Ran, you know that I was with my family very early. I came out, but at that time, my grandparents were very against it."

Lu Jingyao patiently explained the matter. The grandparents who lived abroad all the year round heard that their grandson had a lover, so they naturally wanted to come back to China to have a look with their own eyes to see who the grandson's lover was.

Ji Xiuran was silent after listening, and after thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "I will try my best to prove myself to the elders, Jingyao, if I don't give up, you shouldn't give up either, okay?"

Lu Jingyao's eyes were sour: "Say something stupid, how can I give up on you, don't be nervous, grandparents are not unreasonable people, don't worry."

"I will work hard too."

So the two decided to go back this weekend to have a look. Before that, Ji Xiuran deliberately asked Mother Lu about the preferences of the two elders. He heard that Grandpa Lu also liked calligraphy, so he hurriedly went to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, picked them up and practiced hard for a week. , He also heard that Grandma Lu likes to listen to operas, so he found some operas to listen to, trying to have a common topic with the two elders.

Finally when it was time to go home, Ji Xiuran brought the gift he bought in advance and went back with Lu Jingyao.As soon as he entered the door, he felt two gazes on him. Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu didn't speak, but they looked at him in unison. Ji Xiuran took a deep breath, and calmly walked over to say hello.

Before they came, mother Lu had already talked to the second elder, telling the second elder that Ji Xiuran was a lawyer, and some of his family situation, etc., and Lu's father also came to help talk, and the second elder was suspicious of his grandson's lover. Come here, but after hearing good things for two or three days, the line of defense in my heart is slightly shaken.

Is this person really that good?

Immediately afterwards, Father Lu took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Ji Xiuran bought for him last time, and deliberately asked Ji Xiuran to write a piece of calligraphy in front of Grandpa Lu. Everyone could clearly see a brief light flashing in Grandpa Lu's calm eyes. I chatted with Grandma Lu about opera while the iron was hot, and watched it patiently with her for a long time. After lunch, I was too busy to play chess with Grandpa Lu.

Grandpa Lu did it on purpose. Today's young people can pretend for a while, but they can't pretend for a long time, and they can't hide it from his eyes. So he deliberately asked Ji Xiuran to come over to play chess, in order to test his patience and perseverance.

He had thought that his true colors would have been revealed, but unexpectedly, this young man was more calm and calm than he imagined. Although his chess skills were not good and he had been defeated repeatedly, he played chess with him very patiently, and even played chess with him very patiently. All are progressing.

Was he really wrong?

The wind in the evening was very comfortable. Grandma Lu was not in good health in the early years, so she would go out for a walk every day after dinner. Ji Xiuran and Lu Jingyao went out with the two elders. They were silent all the way, and arrived at a quiet place. Grandpa Lu suddenly stopped. Step down.

"Is grandpa tired?" Ji Xiuran immediately helped him to sit on the bench by the side of the road, and then helped grandma come over.

Grandpa Lu remained silent. He looked at the young man's sweaty cheeks, patted his arm for a long time, and said, "Sit down, Jing Yao sits too."

Lu Jingyao realized that Grandpa Lu might have something to say, so he wanted to send Ji Xiuran away, but Grandpa Lu stopped him, and then he only heard Grandpa Lu say: "Before you came, your parents had brainwashed us for a long time. Your mother praises people."

Ji Xiuran was taken aback, and exchanged a glance with Lu Jingyao.

"Grandpa and grandma are old, I just hope that Jingyao can find a good partner, someone will take care of him, and live a peaceful life." After a pause, Grandpa Lu continued: "The place where grandpa and grandma live, I heard that the law is already legal. Yes, when your grandma and I went shopping on the street, we would occasionally see some, so this time I didn't come back with the mentality of breaking up with you, I just wanted to see what kind of person my grandson found his lover. , if the character is not good, I will not agree to it even if I am killed."

"Grandpa..." Ji Xiuran murmured.

"Although we have only been together for one day, Grandpa and I are still very accurate in seeing people. Some things can be faked, but subconscious expressions and habits cannot be faked. Your grandma and I have lived abroad for a long time, and we have seen everything. Now, I gradually thought about it, this time I thought, as long as Jingyao you find a good boy, my grandma and I will stop asking about your affairs."

"So come to visit us abroad when you have time, and then go back to Xiuran to write a few words for grandpa, so that I can take them back home and show our excellent traditional culture to the neighbors." After finishing speaking, Grandpa Lu helped Grandma Lu stand up : "Let's go, go home."

Ji Xiuran felt as if a drum was beating in his heart, with different tastes of sweet and sour. He followed along in a daze, and when he turned his head and saw Lu Jingyao's smile, he came back to his senses.

Has he passed the assessment by Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu?

Lu Jingyao deliberately slowed down his steps, and kept Ji Xiuran's right hand with his left hand, leaned over to him and whispered in his ear, "Baby Xiuran, you are the best."

Ji Xiuran walked forward in a daze, and suddenly his eyes turned red.
