know the enemy

I don't know when, Bai Mu mentioned Lu Jia's "girlfriend" less and less, and she was no longer in a hurry to let Lu Jia bring the object back, and she was even more silent for a while.

It was a fine day, with two windows open and warm air blowing into the house.It may be hot outside, but it's cool inside, and the clothes hangers on the balcony are shaking.

At noon, Lu Jia said that he would bring some fruit back, saying that the company sent it, and he couldn't finish it at home.

Mother Bai was flipping through a large photo album, and put it down when she heard the door open.

"Where's uncle?"

Bai Mu waved her hand: "Go out and chat with those old men."

Lu Jia smiled: "It's good to go out more often, don't stay at home all the time, go out for a walk."

Bai Mu called him over, pointed to the photo and asked, "Do you remember this?"

"Remember." Luke sat beside him, "Isn't it me?"

"When you were five years old, there was Bai Yi." Bai Mu said, pointing to another photo, "Here, you still wear crotch pants."

Lu Jia took out the photo and found that it was well preserved, only the slight yellowing on the back could tell that it was an old photo.

"The weather is fine today." Baimu said suddenly looking out the window.

Luke didn't know why, so he said "hmm" cooperatively, "Do you want to go out for a while?"

Bai Mu shook her head: "It's so hot outside, it's good to come from here, the breeze blows comfortably."

"Are you busy with work, are you going back now?" She asked, but Lu Jia replied that she was not in a hurry, and she said, "Then let's sit with aunt for a while."

The two sat side by side, Lu Jia was lost in thought for some reason, Bai Mu looked at him sideways, at his shoulders wider than hers, at his straight back, at the natural curve of his lips.

"You have loved to laugh since you were a child, and you look good when you smile. My aunt likes to see you smile the most." Bai Mu seemed to be recalling, smiling very gently, "I was very sensible when I was young, so I didn't make trouble for us easily... Sometimes my aunt is afraid that you are too Be obedient, don't ask for anything, and can't help being nicer to you..."

"Auntie."

"Luke." Bai Mu suddenly asked, "Is there anyone you like?"

Luke was silent.

At this point, they both understood what it meant.

Bai Mu didn't seem to want Lu Jia to answer, so she took a long breath and then sighed slowly.She grabbed Lu Jia's hand and patted it on her lap, "My eldest son is good-looking and has a good personality. My aunt has been wondering which girl is so lucky to be liked by my eldest son."

"You brought him here too often. Your uncle is slow, and you are stupid as an aunt." Mother Bai patted his hand lightly. Lu Jia's fingers were long and slender. She lowered her head and compared their hands, "You Look at my aunt's hands are full of folds."

Luke couldn't speak, and wrapped his hands with lines.

"Bai Yi's unlucky kid knew about it early on, right? I asked him that day, but he faltered and couldn't say a word, so I knew it was all over." Bai Mu said with disgust.

Lu Jia pulled the corner of his mouth and forced a smile.

"Couldn't it be a girl?" Bai Mu's voice trembled a little, feeling that Lu Jia was holding her hand tightly, and said, "That child is not bad, you two are good children...but this road is difficult Let's go, it's too difficult."

"You've always been obedient, unlike Bai Yi, who knows what you want in a day..." Bai Mu took another deep breath, "If I ask you to break up with him this time, will you do it too?"

There was no answer for a long time.

The wind outside the window was so strong that Ulala made people's hearts flustered.

Lu Jia shook his head, but held Mother Bai's hand even tighter, "No, I don't want to be separated from him... Aunt..."

"Look at you." Tears flashed in Bai Mu's eyes, but they didn't fall for a long time, only a thin layer covered them, "You call me, are you begging me, begging aunt to promise you two?"

Luke looked at her, the woman who had raised him for more than 20 years, a strict and kind mother.

He nodded, holding those warm hands tightly.

Mother Bai caressed his cheek, this is the child she loves, "Isn't that right? You beg auntie, maybe auntie agrees softly. You used to say nothing, what do we give you? Aren't you stupid to accept all of them?" Mother Bai held Lu Jia back and spoke several times before she said, "...This is the first time you begged aunt, how could aunt not agree?"

She was still heartbroken, seeing with her own eyes that the child who couldn't even speak completely grew into the handsome young man he is today.

He's in love with someone, a man of the same gender as him.

The white mother didn't know whether her choice was correct. Is it really okay to acquiesce to her child being with a man?

She's still not sure.

But she knew that Lu Jia liked that person, and she knew where the light in his eyes came from...

Bai Mu hugged Lu Jia, and cried herself first, without making a sound, she kept patting Lu Jia's back, as if comforting him or comforting herself.

Lu Jia buried his head into the white mother's neck, and like a child, his throat rolled a few times, and his voice tremblingly called out "Mom".

Mother Bai paused for a moment, tears finally couldn't stop pouring out, she choked up and answered.

If even she stops him, she won't recognize him.How could he have the courage to face the secular vision and endure the comments of others.

This is her son, the child she loves.She has no reason not to make him happy, no reason not to promise him.

When Mu Wenran arrived home in the evening, Lu Jia sat in the living room, resting his hands on the back of the chair to relax.

Mu Wenran went over to poke him on the forehead, Lu Jia regained his senses and grabbed his hand, raised his head and said, "My mother knows."

Mu Wenran raised his eyebrows, but he hasn't seen him for a long time, and the address has changed?

Lu Jia smiled silly, "She agrees with us being together."

"Yeah." Mu Wenran stroked his hair and said suddenly, "Crying children have candy, come and cry."

Lu Jia looked at him inexplicably, after a while, he couldn't help but lower his head, but he still held his hand, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mu Wenran didn't speak, just patted his head.

"Are you a bastard?" Lu Jia leaned his head on the back of the chair, tears falling drop by drop.

"Ah."

Lu Jia shook the hands they were holding, "I thought about it well, don't cry when I'm happy today..."

"Sorry." Mu Wenran said without sincerity, curled his hair around his fingertips, and suddenly lowered his head to kiss Lu Jia's hair tip.

He straightened up, and Lu Jia put his head around his neck, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"I'm really happy." Luke said, "Everything is going in a good direction, right?"

"Ah."

"Then why are you crying?"

"Who are you asking?"

Lu Jia rubbed Mu Wenran's neck, "Ask you."

Obviously he was crying, but he wanted to ask Mu Wenran why he was crying.

Mu Wenran was really thinking, and replied after a while: "Because you want candy?"

"Bah." Lu Jia corrected him pretending to be disgusted, "Because I'm happy, these are tears of emotion."

"Oh." Mu Wenran wiped his tears for him, and the water-soaked eyes became brighter, reflecting his reflection, "Just say what you want, I'm listening."

Luke said, "You read my mind again."

"Can't you?" Mu Wenran said, "It's just you."

"Yes, I approve." Lu Jia probably felt that the conversation was naive, so Lu Jia pursed his lips and secretly smiled.

"I went back today and saw the photo album of my childhood. The photos are well preserved. My aunt told me a lot... She asked Bai Yi about the two of us before. Although Bai Yi said she wouldn't help me, she still told me My aunt said good things, but I was beaten twice by my aunt." Lu Jia said with a smile, "Don't keep being hostile to Bai Yi, my brother is miserable enough."

Mu Wenran gently twisted his hair, "It's good that I didn't beat him."

"Why do you always want to beat him?"

"I owe a beating."

Lu Jia was speechless, thought for a while and said, "Well, I really deserve a beating."

Mu Wenran likes to see Lu Jia smile, gently wipe away the tears on his face, and see the light in his eyes.

"She agreed." Lu Jia repeated the first words, and the water in his eyes seemed to overflow again. He wrapped his arms around Mu Wenran's neck, and sighed softly, "I love them so much."

"Well, they love you too." Mu Wenran picked up Lu Jia, put his legs around his waist, and hugged Lu Jia, "I love you too."

Lu Jia pressed against Mu Wenran's forehead, and said softly, "It's a little numb."

"Oh, I won't talk about it from now on."

Lu Jia choked, and immediately made amends: "I lied to you, I love to listen, please tell me more, please."

Mu Wenran pursed his lips to suppress a smile.

Lu Jia said good things for a while, seeing that Mu Wen was indifferent, he muttered to himself: "Let's not talk about falling down, anyway, I heard it once. Then it's okay if I say it later? I say, I say."

After talking about himself, Lu Jia called out very actively: "Mu Wenran!" Then he leaned into Mu Wenran's ear and said, "I love you."
