growing up

Ling Chao knew that Gu Yuan didn't want to talk about it, and it was useless to ask too much. He put his arms around Gu Yuan's shoulder, patted his shoulder lightly and said, "Since your mother asked you to go back early, go back. See you soon after the end of the year."

"Yeah." Gu Yuan nodded.

When they went back, Ling Chao's parents had gone home, and when they heard that Gu Yuan was leaving the next day, they tried to persuade him to stay again.

After dinner in the evening, Bai Lan called Gu Yuan away to the study alone while Ling Chao was going to the bathroom.

Although he didn't understand why, Gu Yuan followed immediately.

Bai Lan closed the door, pulled Gu Yuan to sit on the chair, and then took out a delicate mahogany box from the safe in the house.

She sat down on another chair, put the box on the low table in the middle, and slowly opened it, revealing a pair of jade pendants inside.

They were fitted together when they were in the box, except that there were red strings hanging from the holes at each end.

Looking from the front, there are complicated carvings on the jade, and it is not clear what is carved on it.

Bai Lan took out one of them, and Gu Yuan could see clearly that the fitting surface was grooved, which matched exactly with the protruding surface of the other piece in the box.

Holding the red string hanging on it, she handed the jade stone to Gu Yuan and said, "Gu Yuan, Auntie didn't prepare a special gift for you when you came this time. This pair of objects was left by Ling Chao's grandfather." It’s for Ling Chao, I haven’t told him before, take it out now, and give one of them to you, firstly, Auntie hopes you both will be well, whether it’s study or relationship; Approved."

Gu Yuan had already stood up when Bai Lan reached out, and after hearing Bai Lan's words, his inner shock was no less than when he saw Ling Chao tell others that he liked him.

Although he didn't know jade, just looking at the color and the place where Ling Chao's mother kept it, he also knew that it was not a random small object.

"Auntie, I can't accept it." Gu Yuan didn't know what to say, and finally choked out this sentence.

"Why?" Bai Lan also stood up, "You are the first person Ling Chao likes, and I also believe that you are not playing for fun."

"No, no," Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "I am serious about Ling Chao, and I also believe that he is serious about me, but this gift is too expensive, and I can't just accept such a precious gift from you the first time I see you." gift."

When Bai Lan was about to say something more, the door of the study was pushed open, and Ling Chao's figure appeared at the door: "What are you two doing? You are still carrying me behind your back." He walked in front of the two of them, looked at The two looked at the pendant in their mother's hand again.

"Oh!" Bai Lan sighed, she didn't want Ling Chao to know, but she just felt a bit ashamed that she couldn't give the gift.

"Why don't you come here," Bai Lan picked up the other one in the box, handed it to Ling Chao and said, "This pair of Kodamas was left to you by your grandfather, I want to give one of them to Gu Yuan , he refused to accept it."

"Oh." Ling Chao took it over and took a look. He didn't know the existence of the jade pair, but he was very happy with his mother's behavior.At least it shows that in her heart, Gu Yuan is truly recognized.

Without saying a word, he first put one of them on for himself, and then put the other on Gu Yuan's neck without any explanation.

"Okay." Ling Chao pressed on Gu Yuan's chest, "Don't take it, it means you don't want me anymore."

"You..." It's not good for Gu Yuan to take it now, and it's not good not to take it.

Bai Lan felt relieved when she saw that her son was done right away. She patted the arms of both of them and said, "That's fine, I'll go out first. You two talk slowly."

"Okay." Ling Chao said, putting his arms around his mother's back.

"Oh, that's right," Bai Lan walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Let's go to the back garden to take some pictures later. Gu Yuan has been here for so long, so we should leave something behind."

My mother likes to take pictures. I don’t know how many pictures I took of Ling Chao when I was young, and there are a lot of photo albums at home.It was only later that Ling Chao grew up and didn't like it so much, so it gradually decreased.

"Okay." Ling Chao replied.

Bai Lan went out, and closed the door carefully, she knew that the two of them must have something to say, and left them a private space.

"Brother Chao," Gu Yuan called out helplessly when there were only the two of them left in the room, "This is not good."

"Which one is not good?" Ling Chao asked with a smile.

"You..." Gu Yuan was speechless for a while.

"Okay! Keep it as soon as I give it to you. You can tell it's a pair at a glance. If I don't wear it with you, who will I wear it with?" Ling Chao took Gu Yuan's hand and squeezed it.

"But, it's too expensive." Gu Yuan said.

Ling Chao smiled, looked at Gu Yuan for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "For me, you are my priceless treasure."

When Ling Chao said this, his voice was very gentle and slow, but it hit the deepest part of Gu Yuan's heart.

He looked at Ling Chao, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly spread, his eyes were focused and burning, for a moment, only Ling Chao existed in the whole world.

He slowly approached Ling Chao, raised his wristband around Ling Chao's neck, lifted his heels slightly, turned his head sideways, and kissed Ling Chao's lips.

He gently rolled over those two thin lips, Ling Chao seemed to indulge him intentionally, and tried his best to cooperate, feeling Gu Yuan's kiss that was still unskilled even though they had kissed many times.

Gu Yuan sucked inch by inch, until every place was occupied, then slowly stuck out his tongue to push in between Ling Chao's not tightly closed teeth, and began to attack the city in his mouth.

It's just that he didn't know the rules yet, and he would still hurt Ling Chao, and in the end Ling Chao hugged him and took the initiative.

Maybe it's because he's two years older, or maybe he's watched some porn before, but Ling Chao's mastery of kissing skills is much higher than Gu Yuan's.

They closed their eyes, hugged each other tightly, and felt each other's fiery breath with all their hearts.

They fought with each other with lips and tongues, lingering to death, as if they wanted to suck each other's last bit of air before giving up.

Finally, let go, before the dizziness is about to take over the brain.

Ling Chao lowered his head slightly, touching his forehead to Gu Yuan's. Their chests heaved and they were breathing in the fresh air.

When both of them calmed down, they looked at each other and suddenly laughed together.

After a while, Ling Chao stopped laughing, pinched Gu Yuan's lips, and said, "Now that we kiss each other, and smile as well, let's go out and take pictures. If we don't go out again, I'm afraid my mother will make up my mind that we both want to send a baby. The jade pendant is fighting."

"Are you really going to take pictures?" Gu Yuan hesitated, he seldom took pictures, so he was somewhat nervous.

Ling Chao guessed that his mother had a whim, but since it was brought up, it is natural to really do it.

"Don't you want to take pictures with me?" Ling Chao asked.

"No," Gu Yuan quickly shook his head and said, "It was a little sudden."

"It's okay, let mom take pictures if she wants." Ling Chao rubbed Gu Yuan's hair and said.

Gu Yuan looked down at the pendant on his chest, touched it with his hand, then carefully put it into his clothes and put it on next to his body.He raised his head, looked at Ling Chao, smiled at each other, and walked outside together.

Seeing Gu Yuan's action, Ling Chao knew that Gu Yuan had accepted the pendant.

He didn't expect his mother to do such a trick, but this one is very beautiful.

Ling Chao thought that what his mother said about taking pictures was more like taking a Polaroid or something, but when he went out and saw the cannon-like DSLR in her hand, he was speechless for a while.

"Mom, do you want to be so exaggerated?" Ling Chao shouted helplessly.

"What's the matter?" Bai Lan struggled to hold the camera with one hand, and waved to them with the other hand free, "Hurry up, both of you, as the light is beautiful at this moment, hurry up and take some pictures."

Ling Chao trotted over to take the camera, and asked his mother to hang up the strap before letting go.

"It's been a long time since I took this thing out to bask in the sun. Of course, there's not much sun to bask in right now. But with the weather today, I still think it's the only way I can take pictures with it," Bai Lan said.

"Are you going to make a big movie?" Ling Chao pulled Gu Yuan over, and followed his mother's instructions to find a place to stand still.

"If I hadn't been with your dad, maybe I'd be a professional photographer by now!" Bai Lan said to Ling Chao while looking for an angle in the camera, "It's right there, don't move, you two just relax, laugh."

"It's a pity—is this okay?" Ling Chao put his arms around Gu Yuan, half leaning against a fence in a relaxed posture.

Bai Lan clicked the camera a few times, and asked them to find a place to sit down, still casually, without looking at the camera.

It didn't take long to take pictures after changing several places, and the brilliance of the setting sun soon dimmed.It was getting dark, the floor lamps in the garden were lit, the heat of the day began to dissipate, and there was a cool breeze in the air.

After Bai Lan finished shooting, she went back to the house to process the photos, leaving Ling Chao and Gu Yuan in the garden.

In the past few days, they spent most of their time playing outside. Even at home, they mostly played in the living room, bedroom or study.

This garden was Gu Yuan's first visit, and he had only seen it from the window before.

Now, he and Ling Chao are sitting together in such a quiet small garden, surrounded by the orange lights from the floor lamps, even if they don't say anything or do anything, he is satisfied .

The plane at noon the next day was delivered by Ling Chao's family. Gu Yuan couldn't stop Ling Chao's parents, so he had to accept it.

He hugged each of them at the security checkpoint, then turned around and walked in silently.

It wasn't until Gu Yuan boarded the plane and sat in his seat that he had the time to think about what he would face when he returned home.

Mom's message is very short - I need you for something, come back as soon as possible.

Later he sent another message to Qingqing, but Qingqing didn't know about it, saying that everything was fine at home, and that afternoon, after finishing using the computer in his room, my mother went to stay in front of my father's grave until dinner time before returning.

Gu Yuan has already guessed that he is not afraid to face his mother, but he also does not want to make her sad.

But the matter will be resolved sooner or later. From the day he met Ling Chao, it seems that everything he will face in the future is doomed.

He doesn't regret knowing Ling Chao, let alone falling in love with him.

In the past six months, it was because of Ling Chao that Gu Yuan felt that he had lived out himself.

He will not give up easily in this kind of day when he has someone to accompany him to work hard, no longer lonely, no longer cold.

The plane started to taxi, Gu Yuan leaned back on the seat, and slowly closed his eyes.
