"Auntie! This is the taste, I can finally eat your barbecue." This is the young master Yu Ding.

"Auntie, is there anything else I can help you with?" This is Tang Siye, who is gentle and polite, and Tang Siqing, who suddenly appeared behind him with a mental illness:

"Hey, the path is also here, it's as if it's gone, it's like three autumns!"

Lu Xing immediately turned his head away, looking out of sight and out of mind.

The three new guests were not very polite, they automatically threw themselves into the great barbecue business, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Lu Xing smelled the aroma of the grilled chicken wings, and suddenly felt that nothing happened in front of him. Forget it.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Auntie" Lu Xing hurriedly sat up from the very comfortable long chair, and took a glass of mango juice handed over by Yu Meixian.

He made room for Yu Meixian to sit down. The padded chair was soft and wide enough for the two of them to lie on it, and it was also long enough for them to put their feet together to form a Come in the most comfortable position.

"Are you troubled? Because of Yuanzhi." After a long time, Yu Meixian said softly.

Lu Xing opened his eyes, looked at Gu Yuanzhi who was quietly cleaning up the barbecue stall not far away, and nodded: "Auntie, aren't you worried? If it doesn't work out, his reputation will be affected, and the school doesn't know about it." Whether you can keep it, no matter how you look at it, it is really a disaster for Professor Gu."

Yu Meixian frowned: "Professor Gu? This title sounds really awkward, Xiaolu, when will you change it?"

Lu Xing touched his head, a little embarrassed: "Because we broke up now..."

"Then it can be called by name," Yu Meixian smiled: "But it doesn't matter if you continue to call it that way, just treat it as your little lover's fun during this time."

"You will be together eventually." Yu Meixian said with a firm tone: "Isn't it?"

"I do not know either..."

"You will definitely be together, all of this is because of your persistence, Xiaolu." Yu Meixian sighed, "Do you know when I first saw you?"

"Last Chinese New Year, when I was a guest?"

She shook her head: "The first time I saw you was more than ten years ago, that is, in the third year of Gaozhi's high school. Speaking of this, I still remembered an interesting thing. Didn't you like to follow Yuanzhi secretly at that time? Is it? In fact, he knew all about it, and later he told me about it by accident. At first, I thought that someone was trying to harm my son, so I secretly went to your school to see it a few times. "

Lu Xing said: "That is to say...when I was secretly following Teacher Gu, you were also secretly observing me, Auntie?"

"You can say that." Yu Meixian recalled the interesting incident at that time, and her eyebrows and eyes were even more curved: "In the end, one day you followed, maybe it was beyond Yuanzhi's tolerance limit, and this kid actually called the police, saying that someone was following him, You can’t laugh at me, I finally came forward to get this thing off, otherwise, you would have been charged as a perverted stalker at that time.”

Lu Xing was shocked, and a little embarrassed: "And... there is such a thing! Teacher Gu actually called the police?"

He looked faintly at the man not far away who almost sent him into the prison with one mouth ten years ago, trying to arouse the other party's guilt with his ferocious gaze.

"This kid does things like this. He formulates all kinds of principles in his mind for everything. He is too reasonable, but ignores emotion. This is also where his father and I were negligent. He was busy with his career in the early years. In addition, Yuanzhi was smart and didn't make people worry about him since he was a child, so he just let his temper come naturally, but when he realized that something was wrong, the kid had already become like this. That is, since he was in high school, until now, it's really Nothing has changed."

"Yes..." Regarding this, Lu Xing was quite touched.

No matter when he was a teenager, when he was young, or now, Mr. Gu will always be like this. In this ever-changing world, it is very strange and reassuring.

The time when I fell in love with Gu Yuanzhi happened to be when his family was in turmoil due to an accident.

He happened to go to school on the same road as Gu Yuan, and when he was chased by creditors several times and fled around to enter the school, he could always see one on the road, carrying a backpack and wearing an ironed uniform without the slightest wrinkle, The calm-looking boy walked steadily on the road.

Will notice him, it is because this person is too 'conformist'.

The time to appear at a fixed intersection must be 6:55, the minute and second are not bad, the school uniform is always spotless, and even the length of the strap adjustment must have certain rules.

He has seen him many times. At first, he was curious, wanting to see if this person would make a mistake one day, but later, he was looking forward to it. He came to that intersection 5 minutes earlier every day at the risk of being caught by creditors. Then follow the man across the street and into the school.

Of course, there were accidents. Once he was chased by someone and missed the time. He collided with Gu Yuanzhi on the way to school at a corner, and both of them fell to the ground. Lu Xing was more seriously injured. Broken skin.

The person in front of him still looked as usual, he thought, according to his usual habits, this person would definitely pat the ashes off his body without hesitation, and then move on, without anyone in his eyes, just like before.

But he guessed wrong, he saw the boy who was much taller than him bent down and handed him a very clean and soft tissue.

At that time, Lu Xing was going through the most difficult and precarious stage in his life. After being in the dark for a long time, he couldn't help thinking, is there really someone in this world who will always be so bright, clean and spotless?

It turns out there are.

Pulling away from the distant memories, Lu Xing blinked slightly, looked at Yu Meixian, the question that had been lurking in his mind for a long time suddenly popped up at this moment, and he asked uncontrollably: "By the way, Auntie, what is the matter?" I've always been puzzled by this."

"I came here for the first time during Chinese New Year last year. Why are you all so calm? Is it because Mr. Gu has come out to you before? But I don't think he would do that. people, so I'm really... baffled by this."

"Talk about that." Yu Meixian's eyes lit up, and she sighed, "Why did he come out? I guess he doesn't even know whether he likes men or women."

"I happened to meet Yuanzhi on the phone with you that day. When he hung up, I asked casually. At that time, you were indeed in a relationship, so he directly talked about your relationship."

"This... so direct? No sign at all?" Lu Xing was shocked: "But the next day, my aunt did not treat me at all unusually. My child suddenly said something like this. You must have not rested that night, okay?"

When he said this, he looked apologetic: "It's all my fault, I should have come to visit earlier."

"Didn't sleep well? That's not the case." Yu Meixian recalled the situation that night: "I couldn't sleep for a while, and it only took about 20 minutes. Then it will be the same as usual, just do what you have to do."

"..." So, so calm?

Yu Meixian patted his arm, and snorted a helpless laugh:

"You have to know that this kid, Yuanzhi, has never been a concern in terms of studies since he was a child, but he is indeed blank in terms of emotions. He spends his whole day with books, and I have never seen him get close to anyone, no matter male or female.

This own child has been raised for a long time, and he knows what he looks like.Before Yuanzhi himself figured it out, his father and I were already mentally prepared.Of course, there are some knots in my heart, but compared to this, Yuanzhi's life alone is what we worry about the most.

He himself may enjoy this kind of isolation and loneliness, but as a parent, he really can't bear it, thinking that if he brings back a boy or a girl in the future, it doesn't matter. "

After hearing these words, before Lu Xing had time to be moved, she heard her change the subject:

"But since he's over 25 and hasn't thought about it at all, I'm a little anxious, thinking that this kid has never broken his suitors, but this kid himself is like an iron wall, which no one can break through.

Could it be that there is some strange habit?Coincidentally, during that period of time, I saw a lot of news about foreigners marrying strange things, such as marrying burritos, dolls, and myself, which scared me half to death. The bookcase came home and said directly that she wanted to marry it..."

“…”

"So, I've been terrified for several years, and you suddenly appeared. Although it's a boy, at least it's a person, isn't it? Xiaolu, to be honest, I'm already very satisfied."

"...Yuan, so that's the case." Lu Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Don't take my words as a joke, Xiaolu, I have followed you for a long time, even if Xiao Ding whispers bad things about you in my ears every day, I won't listen.

I can see your persistence, forbearance, infatuation, and tolerance.In the same way, I can see that Yuanzhi broke the precept countless times in his subconscious mind and cared about you. Believe me, although Yuanzhi is born ruthless, he is not unintentional.I know my own child better than anyone else, he's just a little slow and a little devious, but you will meet eventually, there is no one more suitable than you. "

"I'm very fortunate, Xiaolu, you haven't given up on Yuanzhi for so many years. Even now, I can see your heart for him. You have countless bright spots on your body, which can just illuminate the gloomy part of Yuanzhi's nature. part.

After all, parents are just passers-by in a child's life. My son, if he is doomed to be lonely and have nowhere to turn to, I will admit it, but fortunately you did not give up on him, and you can accompany him for the rest of his life instead of me. He may be different from others all his life, which is precious. But you love him so differently. "

"I'm very grateful to have you by my side."

Someone shouted "Auntie, Xiaolu" and they got up and walked over. Tang Siye put his arms around Yu Meixian's shoulders and asked, "What did you say to Xiaolu? Why did it take so long?"

"It's nothing, it's just chatting about family affairs." Yu Meixian said, looking at the lively scene in the yard, she said with emotion: "It's been a long time since our house has been so lively."

Tang Siqing came out of nowhere, unknowingly removed the hand on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's rare that Yuanzhi was suspended for such a good thing."

Lu Xing:...

Feeling this person is quite happy.

But Tang Siqing was not the only one who was happy, because almost everyone present except him laughed lightly or heavily because of Tang Siqing's words.

Compared with Lu Xing's worry, this group of family and friends who really shared weal and woe with Gu Yuanzhi showed incomparable casualness and peace of mind.

Yeah, what's the big deal?

He and Gu Yuanzhi didn't do anything wrong, the real perpetrator might be hiding somewhere to watch a joke, why should he continue to worry about it here?

Time will always give the best answer, and he doesn't need to rush to clarify, or make false statements written by others, and this may be the message that Gu Yuanzhi wants to convey to him.

But that is Gu Yuanzhi, who has very kind and tolerant parents, a group of friends who can support him in every way, and his own outstanding ability, this is his confidence, and Lu Xing is different, he has too little, so That's why you worry about gains and losses.

Lu Xing glanced at Gu Yuanzhi, who was standing there tall and tall, and stared at him for a long time, and shortly after that, perhaps because of some unexplainable telepathy, Gu Yuanzhi also turned his head, and at the same time He looked at each other from a distance.

He seemed to have suddenly returned to the past, the Lu Xing who fell down in front of Gu Yuanzhi because of being impoverished by debt collectors.

Worry about gains and losses, but so what?

After so many years, Gu Yuanzhi standing there is still the clean boy who would show up at the intersection on time and hand him a soft tissue.

It is his wall.
