know the enemy

It was raining continuously in February, and after the Lantern Festival, Ye Yulou actually saw the boy on Mu Wenran's phone.He knew that he shouldn't call the person in front of him a teenager, but he couldn't seem to find a better description other than that.

Lu Jia is the same as in the photo, with a pair of big, round eyes, bright and clear, dimples appear faintly when the corners of his lips are pursed, and his eyelashes are thick and slender.

Ye Yulou heard that he was three years younger than Mu Wenran, and that photo was taken when he was 16 years old. Now that he saw him, he felt the same as in the photo. Even after seven years, Lu Jia’s impression Also like a teenager.

He asked Mu Wenran to meet at the bar, and Mu Wenran brought his family directly. Lu Jia greeted him honestly when he saw him, and the three of them sat at the bar, with Mu Wenran sitting in the middle.

Ye Yulou glanced curiously, but Mu Wenran blocked him, curled his lips and said, "Aren't you allowed to see it? You're so stingy."

Hearing the sound, Lu Jia turned his head to this side, but was pushed back by Mu Wenran.

Ye Yulou covered his mouth and let out a dry cough, thinking about what he was going to say next, and just wanted to be serious, when he saw Lu Jia poking his head quietly, and broke his power again.

Mu Wenran glanced sideways, pretending not to see it.

Ye Yulou recovered his emotions and said, "I heard that your father asked someone to block you at your work place?"

Mu Wenran didn't speak, Ye Yulou continued: "You'd better take it easy, don't make a big fuss, no matter how you say it, he is..."

Mu Wenran put it bluntly: "Did my second uncle ask you to tell me?"

Ye Yulou was a little discouraged, scratched his hair and said, "Hey... isn't it, there is no way, you can't die if you go back when you have time."

"I see." Mu Wenran asked again, "Is there anything else?"

"Can't we have tea together?" Ye Yulou also felt a little embarrassed, but Mu Xian contacted his father, and his father entrusted him with this arduous task, so he couldn't do it.

Mu Wenran ordered a glass of wine and pushed it in front of Ye Yulou: "Okay, let's drink."

Ye Yulou was a little helpless, took a sip and said: "Is there really no room for further discussion?" He knew the strength of the wine, and Mu Wenran wanted to drink him to death.

Mu Wenran seldom shows his emotions on his face, even now, Ye Yulou couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and those dark eyes were as dead, desolate and penetrating.

It's not that Mu Wenran has never met Mu Zhangcheng after returning to China, but they have never been able to communicate.

Mu Zhangcheng insisted on his own opinion, he listened coldly, until Mu Zhangcheng had enough scolding, he turned and left.Their way of getting along is like this, ten years have been monotonous and boring, occasionally accompanied by suffocating silence.

Just when Ye Yulou thought Mu Wenran would turn around and leave, Lu Jia reached out and patted Mu Wenran's arm: "Are you and your dad fighting again?"

Mu Wenran didn't understand where the "again" came from: "No."

"Hey." Lu Jia sighed, thought for a while and said, "Uncle Mu will be worried if you are like this, so why not go back and have a look for Uncle Mu?" The Uncle Mu here naturally refers to Mu Wenran's second uncle, Mu Xian.

Ye Yulou thought that Mu Wenran would remain silent as usual, he had never seen Mu Wenran compromise on a matter he believed.In fact, in this regard, Mu Wenran is really like his father, just as stubborn.

It's a pity that he guessed wrong, Mu Wenran easily nodded and said "yes".

Ye Yulou couldn't react for a while.

Lu Jia was quite worried: "Just take a look, don't be bullied." He raised his head and said very naturally, "Anyway, I'm on your side."

Mu Wenran smiled: "Yes."

Lu Jia smiled and gestured OK, his teeth bared.

Ye Yulou couldn't describe such an atmosphere. Mu Wenran's easy compromise was enough to surprise him. What surprised him the most was Lu Jia's attitude—he favored Mu Wenran for no reason, as if everything else was irrelevant. , as long as he is good.

Ye Yulou was a little confused about who was doting on the other between these two people.

After leaving the bar and found it was raining lightly outside, Mu Wenran went to pick up the car, while Lu Jia and Ye Yulou hid under the eaves.

Ye Yulou said: "You know, right? Mu Wenran's phone desktop is you."

Lu Jia was stunned: "Huh?"

Ye Yulou thought he didn't hear clearly, and repeated again: "I think he is so bored, and he probably wouldn't take the initiative to tell you. During the few years abroad, he missed you a lot. It's all back, you two have a good time." Yes, don’t think about what’s there or what’s not, Mu Wenran can solve it, what do you think?” Ye Yulou’s intention was good, and he hoped that the two of them could get along more harmoniously, to be honest, he was a little envious of the scene just now .

Luke: "..."

Seeing that Lu Jia was silent, Ye Yulou glanced at Lu Jia.

Luke's expression was complicated, and he said after a while: "Oh."

Ye Yulou nodded in satisfaction.

Lu Jia actually didn't understand what Ye Yulou meant, but Ye Yulou's words made him inexplicably awkward.Those were the three years when he didn't participate, and he heard about Mu Wenran who he didn't know from other people.He didn't want to admit his unhappiness, and stretched out his hand to catch the falling raindrops, and the coolness penetrated into his heart.

After sending Ye Yulou to the door of the apartment, Mu Wenran drove in the direction of Lujia Community.

While waiting for the red light, Lu Jia suddenly asked, "Did you miss me in America?"

Mu Wenran said "um" without turning his head.

Luke crossed his arms and tilted his head against the glass window: "Then you tell me."

"What?" Mu Wenran chuckled, "I miss you very much?"

The car restarted, Lu Jia shrank and lowered his head.

Mu Wenran glanced at him: "What did Ye Yulou tell you?"

Was guessed again.Lu Jia knocked his head on the glass window, and finally said honestly: "Say you use my photo as wallpaper, say you miss me... let us have a good time? I didn't understand the last sentence."

Mu Wenran made a note of money for Ye Yulou.

"If you miss me, tell me." Lu Jia looked out the window, the raindrops slid down the glass, "Don't tell anyone."

Oh, so I was concerned about this.

Mu Wenran hooked the corners of his lips, and had to admit that Lu Jia's honesty made him feel happy.He has always been a terrible person, paranoid, gloomy, and possessive. It is Luke's appearance that makes him want to be a better person.

Luke seemed to be very entangled, not knowing where the awkwardness in his heart came from.Mu Wenran patted his head with one free hand, Lu Jia calmed down, and asked another question: "Why do you use my photo as a wallpaper?"

"You look good."

Lu Jia blinked and blinked, and after a few seconds, he sat on the seat and let out a "hehe" smirk, and finally confirmed with Mu Wenran: "Really?" His eyes were shining, as if stars were about to pop out at any time.

Mu Wenran was about to be spoiled by the cuteness of the children, so he wanted to say something to make Lu Jia happier.

Lu Jia was pressing the corners of his mouth to prevent himself from smiling so obviously, Mu Wenran said, "Well, you look good, I miss you very much."

Lu Jia looked at Mu Wenran seriously for a few seconds, then put his hands on his chest and made a slight "oh".

He was actually very happy, but felt that it was not good for him to be reserved because he was so happy because of a single sentence.In front of Mu Wenran, he was already naive enough, he couldn't be more naive.

Lu Jia didn't realize it at the moment, the greedy desires were hidden under the gentle appearance, and Mu Wenran hadn't figured out how to reveal them to Lu Jia.

The rain outside the window infiltrated the atrium, and some stories also foreshadowed.
