Canary [Rebirth]

In early spring, the sky is low and the sun has not yet risen.

The Lu residence has a large population and has already been busy.Only the garden was silent, and several gardeners stood around one person cautiously, serving him carefully.

That person is Lu Yu.His stature is well-proportioned and tall, and even the length of each bone is just right, creating an astonishing proportion.Lu Yu stood among the blooming flowers. He looked like his mother, with long eyebrows and straight nose, and a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes. He usually looked fierce and gloomy because of his imposing manner, but now he looked a bit gorgeous among the flowers.But no one dared to say it out loud. Everyone in Huai City knew what Lu Sanshao used to do things for others, so he dared not offend him.

At this time, Lu Yu seemed to be in high spirits. He got up early to pick flowers in leisure time, and his eyes fell on the blooming flowers carelessly, as if he was carefully selecting them.

The butler went downstairs and hurried to Lu Yu, and after gathering his composure, he said, "Third young master, the master has woken up and is waiting for you in the study."

Lu Yu has moved out of the old house since he became an adult, and has not returned home for a long time.When I came back late last night, I indicated that I had something to talk to Lu Chengguo.This early in the morning, when Lu Chengguo woke up, he got the news that he wanted to meet Lu Yu.

Lu Yu ignored it and broke off a flower that had just opened. The petals were still stained with dew, which wet his slender fingers.He placed the flower properly in the white porcelain vase, and then smiled kindly, but his eyes were gloomy, "Understood, I will go to see my father right away."

The housekeeper and all the gardeners didn't seem to dare to look directly at his smile, and took half a step back.

Before turning around to leave, Lu Yu thought of something again, paused, and told the gardener beside him, "These flowers are not blooming well, I don't like them, let's plant white lilies instead. Next time I come back, I want to see lilies bloom."

Lu Yu put down these words and walked straight to the interior of the Lu residence.

Lu Chengguo's study is on the second floor, and Lu Yu stood in front of the door, clasped his knuckles and knocked three times leisurely.

A voice came from inside, "Come in."

Lu Chengguo was standing by the window. Although he was almost 60 years old, his hair was black and well-maintained, without any signs of aging, as if his youth had just passed away.

Lu Yu knew that he would not live long.

Lu Chengguo looked serious, deliberately maintaining his majesty as a father, "Is there something you want to do when you come back this time?"

It's a pity that he has never been majestic in front of Lu Yu.

Lu Yu smiled, and did not expose him with any malicious intentions, but simply narrated, "I took a job in Ningjin, a very important project, and the time is not short, so I have to go and watch it in person. You have to let it go first."

Lu Chengguo frowned, "You are fine here in Huaicheng, why did you go to Ningjin again? Young people are unstable, how can they do things if they don't take root?"

He likes his eldest son and second son more than Lu Yu, but he also understands that those two together are not worth half of Lu Yu, and the Lu family's affairs are the most important thing, so he doesn't want to let Lu Yu go.

Lu Yu didn't take his words seriously, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Chengguo, "I'm going to Ningjin in three days, everything has been handed over, if you let the boss or the second go, I guess they will be happy to help. "

He just informed Lu Chengguo of his arrangement, not asking for opinions.After finishing speaking, he left regardless of Lu Chengguo's dark face and angry scolding. On the way downstairs, he happened to meet a man who looked very similar to Lu Chengguo. He was the boss of the Lu family and Lu Yu's half-brother—Lu Hui.

Lu Hui was ten years older than Lu Yu, but his body was hollowed out by wine. He looked 40 years old. He was glaring at Lu Yu fiercely, not hiding the malice in his eyes, and asked, "Why are you coming back! Isn't this Your place!"

There are currently six members of the Lu family, and the relationship is very intricate, which can be called a model of a wealthy family.Lu Chengguo fell in love with Lu Yu's mother Qiu Zihong when he was young, and married her and vowed to love each other for a lifetime.But Lu Chengguo's love is too shallow and too thin, like mist, it evaporates after a long time.He started to try something new, which can't even be called cheating in a wealthy family, because he doesn't even have a regular little lover.Qiu Zihong was originally a fierce woman when she was studying, strong and independent, but once she got married, she seemed to be fascinated by money, her pearls lost their luster and faded into fish eyes, and she also covered up her peace like other wealthy wives, as long as her status was not threatened , It is good to maintain this marriage.

But such seemingly stable days did not last long.

Qiu Zihong had been married for many years but could not conceive, so she went to the hospital to check for infertility.The Lu family needed an heir, and Lu Chengguo had even more just reasons to take care of his little lover.Two of his lovers gave birth to children, both boys. Lu Chengguo couldn't allow the heir of the Lu family to bear the indecent reputation of being an illegitimate child. He planned to wait for the two children to grow up, and the identity of the one with outstanding aptitude would be determined. Qiu Zihong divorced and married the child's mother.Qiu Zihong begged bitterly while doing test-tube babies.Finally, she became pregnant with Lu Yu.

However, due to years of mental pressure, Lu Chengguo's unfeeling, and the cynicism of his two mistresses in front of him, Qiu Zihong suffered from mental illness, and finally died when Lu Yu was nine years old. Zhai kept this matter secret and dared not mention it.

Lu Chengguo didn't know whether it was because of guilt or some other reason, he didn't straighten his mistress, and just let them live together in Lu's house for no apparent reason.

Such a "home" sounds like a joke.

Lu Yu also thought it was ridiculous.

"How long do you think you can stay?" Lu Yu replied casually without even pausing, "There are not many days left."

After Lu Chengguo died, this was Lu Yu's place.

Lu Yu was 33 years old when he died, and now he is 24 years old.He did many evil things in his life, but he did not go to hell. Instead, he went back to nine years ago from death to life.

For Lu Yu, his life is only divided into two stages, before meeting Pei Xiangque and after meeting him.

But now, he was nine years ago, a time when he had not met Pei Xiangque.Pei Xiangque is not in Huaicheng yet, he is in Ningjin.

Sitting in the back seat of the carriage, Lu Yu looked at Lu Zhai which was getting farther and farther away, closed his eyes slightly, and remembered the past.

Speaking of which, the last time he spent with Pei Xiangque was after the divorce.

In the second hour after retiring the engagement, Lu Yu disclosed the matter to the media, just in time for the headline news release of the day.

Lu Yu stayed in the study until his assistant got today's newspaper, on which was written in large characters, "The marriage contract between the Lu family and the Xiang family broke up, what's behind it!" He read this nonsense article from the beginning to the end, But he was not angry, and even had a satisfied smile on his face, and then asked the butler to find a chance to sneak it in front of Pei Xiangque.

The assistant who watched from the beginning to the end shook his head in his heart, thinking that his boss was completely screwed.However, this matter has long been foreshadowed.If it weren't for the person on top of his heart, who would have pushed back an important contract just because of the slightly hoarse voice of the person on the other end of the phone.

At night, when Lu Yu went to deliver food to Pei Xiangque, Pei Xiangque poked his head out from under the quilt, his round eyes widened even more, and his pink fingernails pressed against the newspaper.

The red was so light and thin that Lu Yu wanted to kiss it inexplicably.

Pei Xiangque seemed to have organized his words for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Is it true?"

Lu Yu pretended to glance at the newspaper casually, "What did you lie to you for?"

Pei Xiangque's brows were still furrowed, as if there was something else she wanted to ask but couldn't say.Lu Yu only thought that the way he was thinking was also very cute, so he couldn't help obeying his inner desire, lowered his head and bit his fingertips, and put his teeth on the nail cover, exerting a little force.Pei Xiangque didn't feel any pain, just itched.He blushed, retracted his hands and went back, holding back for a long time, "Lu Yu, you are so annoying. I forgot what I wanted to say."

Lu Yu held him down with one hand, "Take care of your arms, don't make trouble, be good." After speaking, he picked up the food that was put aside and held it in front of Pei Xiangque.

After a long time, Pei Xiangque nodded, opened his mouth, and swallowed the food.After finishing the meal, Lu Yu was cleaning up the dishes. Pei Xiangque grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked, "You, did you not sleep yesterday? Go to bed early today, and I will sing for you."

Lu Yu was startled, as if someone had poked her heart, sweet and astringent, "You're so good."

He understands that his canary has returned to the cage willingly and will not think about leaving again.

But Lu Yu found that he was not satisfied with just being a breeder.He hoped that Pei Xiangque would not just bear it passively, but would cry for himself, laugh for himself, be happy or sad for himself.

He fell in love with Pei Xiangque.

This was the first time in his life that he used such soft and empty words as "like" or "love" to describe his relationship with another person.

Lu Yu never believed that any emotion in a person's heart could win over interests, but if this person was Pei Xiangque, he took it for granted.

He planned to confess everything to Pei Xiangque before Qiu Zihong's grave.Even if there is a slight possibility that Pei Xiangque doesn't like her, Lu Yu thinks it's irrelevant, and they will always fall in love in the future.

But he didn't expect that there would be no future.

That day, Lu Yu personally drove Pei Xiangque. On the way, he encountered a small truck that was driving tired and rammed straight into Lu Yu's car.Lu Yu instinctively turned the steering wheel to the right, but Pei Xiangque jumped up and stood in front of Lu Yu.

The cramped small space was full of rust-like fishy smell. Lu Yu groped and grabbed Pei Xiangque's hand in the narrow compartment. The palm was full of greasy blood. He only hoped that it was his own.

He saw Pei Xiangque frowning tightly, her snow-white skin lost its color, almost transparent, like the petals of a lily, and the blue veins undulated weakly under the skin.Pei Xiangque coughed a few times without any strength, and cried out in pain in a vague way.

Lu Yu held Pei Xiangque's hand tightly. He had never been so nervous in his life. Seeing Pei Xiangque's white shirt dyed red, he could hardly breathe.He could only try in vain to plug the wound on Pei Xiangque's body, but it was useless.

His voice was trembling, his joints were shaking violently, his nails were deeply sunken into the flesh of his palm, "Don't be afraid, don't fall asleep, you will be fine."

Pei Xiangque blinked, tried hard to understand what he said, and nodded in confidence.He was seriously injured, and what he coughed up along with the blood foam were fragments of internal organs. The dark blood poured out from the wound, soaking the entire small space, and Lu Yu couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

Lu Yu thought, he had no choice.

Pei Xiangque's dark pupils gradually lost their brilliance. He raised his head with difficulty, wanting to take a look at Lu Yu again, reached out to touch Lu Yu's cheek, opened his bloody lips, and said in a stuttering voice, "You , don't cry. I'm in such pain, I didn't cry, but when you cry, I want to cry too..."

Only then did Lu Yu realize that he was crying, and he would cry too.

Lu Yu's cold tears fell into Pei Xiangque's eye sockets, and slid down his cheeks to his chin, as if even Pei Xiangque was crying.

He asked, "Why did you save me?"

Pei Xiangque opened his eyes wide, and replied staggeringly, "Yes, I just blocked it without thinking about anything."

Lu Yu was startled, and then asked: "Is it, is it because you like me? Like Lu Yu."

He said this vaguely, and it took Pei Xiangque a long time to realize it. He was very unfamiliar with words that express strong emotions like this, and it was difficult to understand. Anxious, I just felt that this answer was very important, so I had to rely on my heart to say a few words, "I, I don't..."

He was very anxious, but could not speak.

When Lu Yu heard the word "no", his pupils shrank suddenly, and he didn't want to listen anymore.So, he bowed his head and kissed Pei Xiangque's blood-stained lips, loving and cherishing them very much.

After all, Pei Xiangque didn't finish his sentence. Before the ambulance came, the blood in his body drained first, and he died in Lu Yu's arms.

Lu Yu broke two bones and left a long scar at the corner of his eye, but his appearance didn't matter to him, he recovered after staying in the hospital for two months and returned home.

But Pei Xiangque died, at the age of 24.

Lu Yu would rather die himself.

He erected a tombstone for Pei Xiangque, and it was in his back garden, with lilies blooming beside it, and he could see it every day by just looking up.There were vague rumors among the servants in Lu's house that Lu Yu was probably terminally ill.

Lu Yu stood in front of Pei Xiangque's tombstone, and in the photo above, he was still smiling ignorantly.He thought calmly, Pei Xiangque had never done anything bad in his life, but he had never met a good person.

including yourself.

Lu Yu lowered his head and kissed the photo.

His voice was soft and slow, very pleasant, almost confessional.

He said, "Just wait for me."

He didn't keep Pei Xiangque waiting too long.Only a year later, Third Master Lu of Huaicheng died of mental breakdown because he lost his canary.
